The Grudge 3: The Curse Continues Page #2

---

Guys, this is Naoko, potential neighbor.

Just grabbing an application.

Welcome, potential neighbor.

I'm Lisa, and this is Rose.

Rose. Like the flower.

If you see stuff for Rose sitting outside,

bring it in, okay?

Okay, sorry.

- So, where are you moving from?

- I'm from Tokyo.

- Here you go.

- You have a lovely family.

Thanks.

- I need that?

- No, ma'am.

The doctor just wanted to make sure

I could read the instructions.

It's okay.

The kids wear these at the hospital

all the time.

Can I breathe underwater with that?

You need a scuba tank for that.

I could go in a shark cage.

You could, but I'd be careful.

Sharks have a taste for little girls.

Look, I'm just gonna put this in the closet,

and we're never gonna talk about it again.

Come here.

Things'll get better. I promise.

Not always.

- What do you mean?

- Things don't always get better.

Like for those people, the ones that died.

That's different. Entirely different.

Do you miss them?

I miss every tenant that leaves.

We take care of everyone here

in our own way.

You take their money.

That's part of our way.

Come here, shark bait.

Showed Rose the oxygen thing.

She wanted to go scuba diving.

- You tell her it was just a precaution?

- Yeah.

- So, New York's a crazy place.

- Well, so is Chicago, right?

I just worry, you know.

I'm gonna be fine.

Yeah, but aren't there fashion jobs here?

It's not about the job. It's the internship.

If I could swing a scholarship from this,

then we can use the rest of my college fund

to pay for Rose's medical bills.

- I don't know.

- I'm just trying to help.

Look, if you wanna help,

you could stay here.

Okay, put off the internship.

Go when things are stable.

Max, my being here

isn't gonna change anything.

We need you, Lisa.

Now is all that matters.

Rose is getting worse.

Okay, the building is going to hell.

I may lose my job.

Why didn't you tell me?

Would it have made a difference?

Aunt Diane's been floating the offer

for us to move in.

- With her five cats?

- It's more like eight.

And I know we joke,

but it's now becoming our only option here.

Rose hates it there.

I can't do this alone.

If things work out, I could make us stable.

Rose has her check up,

and then I'm taking her to the park

to feed the ducks.

You can meet us there later if you like.

Hello?

Hello.

We don't allow reporters in here.

I'm not a reporter.

I have permission from the manager.

The manager's my brother.

You must be Lisa. I'm Dr. Sullivan.

The boy who lived here

was a patient of mine.

Jake.

- How is he?

- I'm sorry, I thought...

Jake passed away.

What? How?

Actually, we're not quite sure,

to be honest with you.

He said a lot of things

about the night that his family died.

So I guess I just wanted

to come and see for myself.

Are there any other boys living

in this building?

No, Jake was it.

Why?

He talked about a boy, seeing a boy here.

He was terrified of him.

My sister saw a boy recently.

Here?

Maybe I could talk with her?

She isn't really a fan of doctors

to tell you the truth.

So, Jake...

How long ago?

Not long.

The service is tomorrow. At Lakemore.

Hey, there you are.

This was the last place I thought you'd be.

Andy.

- How you doing?

- Andy.

This is Dr. Sullivan.

Hi.

Hey, if you're thinking of renting, this is a...

You know, it's a good place.

- Good people.

- She was Jake's doctor, Andy. He died.

Sh*t.

I'm sorry.

- I thought you were just here...

- It was nice meeting you.

Nice to meet you.

- You ass.

- How was I supposed to know?

Anyway, I thought that kid survived

that whole thing.

- What happened to him?

- She didn't say.

- I don't want to think about it.

- Wait, wait, wait.

I've got some time before work.

- You are unbelievable.

- What?

Not on this floor.

Then... Then where?

There's an empty on four,

but I'd have to go sneak the keys.

Okay, so grab the keys,

and I'll meet you on four.

Fine.

Okay.

Busted.

Rose, will you go to your room

for me, please?

Lisa, we talked about this.

I can't watch Rose and you.

- I don't need to be watched.

- Of course not.

Come on, Max, give me a break.

I'll give you a break

when you start acting like an adult.

Fine. Whatever.

I won't be your problem

much longer anyway.

Is that how you see it?

Or is it that we won't be your problem?

Oh, my God.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

What are you doing up there?

Hey, you coming up or what?

You could have come inside.

I didn't really feel comfortable.

Well, I've always found funerals

more for closure than comfort.

Hey, there's something I wanted to ask you.

Yeah, sure, what is it?

The boy that Jake talked about.

- Did he ever describe him?

- Why? Did your sister see him again?

No. Actually, I think I might have.

Why was he so afraid of him?

I never fully understood.

The boy played a role

in the alternate theory Jake created

in order to deal with the death of his family.

There's something at my office

that I'd like you to see.

It may help answer questions for both of us.

And I can drive you back home if you like.

- Okay.

- Okay, good. I'm just right here.

And now you can go around there.

There you go.

You shouldn't be up there.

You should be down here

doing your homework.

Max.

Rose?

Rose? Come here. It's all right.

Hang on.

Hang on, Rose.

Hang on. I got you. I got you, babe.

Okay, here we go. Come on.

The woman's name is Kayako Saeki,

and the father is Takeo,

and the boy is Toshio.

That's him. That's the boy.

Maybe they knew Jake from somewhere?

Did they say anything?

Did you talk to them?

They're dead.

Dead?

It happened in Japan.

Years ago.

Father murdered his wife and son

before hanging himself.

Did you know a girl named Allison Fleming

who lived in your building,

the one who went missing?

Not really. She was always away at school.

Jake thought she brought

something back with her,

something dark that changed her.

Allison visited the house

where the Saeki family died.

I wanna show you something.

This is footage

from my very first session with Jake.

At the time,

his stepmother was the primary suspect.

My job was to evaluate his mental condition.

I'm not making it up.

I don't believe you, Jake.

I'm not lying.

You see her when no one else is around.

She's real.

Well, I don't see her.

- She's real.

- Describe her again.

She... She has black hair,

and it hangs over her face.

All over, on her body, there's...

There's blood.

There's blood all over her body?

And it's like she's dead.

I reasoned he'd witnessed

his stepmother kill his sister and father.

Unable to cope with what he saw,

he invented these gruesome ideations

of a boy and a woman

in order to disassociate himself

from the truth.

But I saw the boy myself.

Yeah, I was wrong.

Unimaginably wrong.

You never told me how he died.

Our surveillance system shows him

reacting to a hallucination.

Only somehow that hallucination
