broke nearly every bone in his body.

Max?

- Where have you been?

- I was with Andy.

Rose was in the hospital.

What?

Oh, my God.

Why?

Doctor said she overexerted herself.

- Doing what?

- I don't know.

She was playing.

I told you she's getting worse.

Yeah, but I thought the new medicine

was supposed to help...

It's not enough.

She may have to start wearing

the oxygen thing.

I guess I'll keep you updated

when you're gone.

I'll be calling. Every day.

It's better than nothing.

Why don't you tuck her in?

Make the most of your last day?

Hey, Rose. How you doing?

- Don't stop.

- I know.

Until you're asleep.

I love you. You know that?

Rose? Rose, what's wrong?

- What is it, Rose?

- The boy, he's here.

- Where?

- In my room.

No.

No.

There's nothing there.

You wanna sleep in my room tonight?

Okay.

Ben! Ben, open the door!

Ben, help me! Open the door, please!

Ben! Please, help me! Help me, Ben!

Can I go play in the snow

when we get there?

Sorry, the snow's all gone.

Let's get you buttoned up, though. Let's go.

Hi. Naoko, right?

I was wondering if we could talk.

Yeah, we were just about to go to the park

if you want to come.

- Yes, I would like that.

- Okay.

It's easy sometimes to forget

how sick she is.

I understand. On the outside, she is okay,

but on the inside, things are getting worse.

It may sound strange

but a place can get sick the same way.

I don't follow.

I know what happened in your building.

Guess you changed your mind

about moving in?

No.

What happened in your building

is the reason I'm here.

Sh*t.

In Japan, there is another place,

sick because of what happened inside.

What happened?

A husband killed his wife and only child,

then himself.

An evil started with their deaths

but has spread.

Now it gathers here in your building.

- Can I go play on the swings?

- Yeah, go ahead.

Who are you?

The woman who was killed,

she was my sister, Kayako.

Kayako and I had a difficult life.

Our mother was an itako,

someone who can commune with the dead.

From the time we were very young,

our mother taught us the old ways.

For me it was frightening.

For my sister, it was a nightmare.

Those possessed came to my mother

to be healed.

My mother took the evil from them

and fed the spirits to Kayako.

It silenced them,

but my sister was changed forever.

Gretchen? Got a spill out here.

Gretchen?

Gretchen?

Gretchen?

When my sister was killed, a ju-on was born.

In English, it is something like a curse.

- And now you think the curse is here?

- I am sure of it.

Well, then why would you come here?

- To put an end to it.

- How?

A simple ceremony in the place

where the curse was reborn.

The boy's home.

But I cannot do it alone. I need you.

You and Rose.

Okay, look, I'm really sorry

for what you've been through. I am.

And I believe that you want to help,

but this ceremony or whatever,

we can't be a part of it.

If the curse is not stopped,

more people will die.

- You must understand.

- I'm sorry.

Come on, Rose. Time to go. Let's go.

Let's go home now. Get some lunch, yeah?

- Max. Hey, we need to talk.

- Get Rose out of here.

- Why? What's going on?

- Just do it.

Okay.

What happened?

Max.

Are you okay?

Look, I think we might

need to get out of here.

I talked with Naoko today.

- Wait, you talked to Naoko?

- Yeah.

She thinks we might be in danger.

That's nice.

She doesn't have time

to sign her credit application

but she's got time to tell you

that we're in danger?

Are you even listening to me?

I'm saying that I'm worried.

What have you got to be worried about?

You're out of here soon.

It's not your problem now, is it?

Miss Saeki is not answering in her room.

We'll leave a message for her

at the front desk.

- This is what you wanted.

- Yeah, I did. I do.

Do you want to tell me what changed?

- Andy...

- You said it yourself, Lisa.

If things work out in New York,

it's only gonna help Rose.

- It's just with...

- What? Gretchen dying?

Yeah.

- Yeah. She was a nice lady.

- You don't think it's strange?

What? All those people dying?

Yeah, it's a tragedy. But...

You can't let it stop you from living.

I mean, it's over.

- I'm not so sure that's true.

- Thanks.

Look, the thing with that kid,

it's creepy, yeah.

Scary? Okay, maybe.

- But real? No way.

- You don't know that.

You're just seeing connections

you want to see.

It all leads back to those murders in Japan.

It's all connected.

- Lisa, like, please.

- You're not even listening to me.

You know what?

You're just anxious about leaving.

All right? And I get that.

Hey, we're doing this together, though.

I'm not going to New York, Andy.

I'm sorry, but my family needs me.

- What? Just like that?

- Sorry.

Okay. Okay.

If you're not going, I'm not going.

There's no reason for you to stay.

How could you say that?

Lisa, the reason I'm staying is

the same reason why I was going.

You.

Where's Max?

- Rose, where is he?

- He said he had to work.

He left you here alone?

When is he coming back?

Have you eaten anything?

I'm gonna make you something to eat.

How does that sound?

Okay.

- Can you believe this?

- Do you want me to stay here?

I can just call in sick.

It's not like they're expecting me to work

on my last day anyway.

No, it's okay. You should go.

I mean, if we're not going to New York,

you might as well keep your job.

Anyway, I'm here.

I'm gonna make her some dinner.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Okay. I'll give you a call when I'm off work.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Bye.

See you.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

F***.

You don't have to pick that stuff up

by yourself.

I'll get somebody in here to clean it out

when things get back to normal.

I've been over this, trying to make it work,

but I gotta switch things up.

I'm going with

the management company option.

They start the first of the month.

You can stay, of course,

but you gotta pay rent like everybody else.

Might be temporary. Who knows?

What am I supposed to do now, Mr. Praski?

- How am I gonna take care of my family?

- Listen, business is business, kid.

Then f*** business, and f*** you.

Look, you don't gotta like the news, kid,

you just gotta take it.

It didn't have to be like this.

Where were you last night?

Manual labor. It's a b*tch.

You left Rose alone.

- She can't be alone ever.

- I know that.

But I don't have Gretchen

to count on anymore, now, do I?

Listen, things are happening

and I think we should leave.

You're always making plans now,

aren't you?

I don't understand.

People are dying

and you're acting like nothing is happening.

How do you want me to act, Lisa?

Gretchen was old. Old people die.

Is that what you said to Rose?

I have been saddled with Rose

since Mom and Dad died. Not you, me.

She is not your problem!

What is wrong with you?

Not a goddamn thing, that's what.

I'm young, healthy.

I got all the time in the world

since I was just fired.

Yeah, what, are you surprised?
