Ju-On: a curse born of someone who dies in the grip of powerful rage.

It gathers in the places frequented by that person in their life,

working its spell on those who come into contact with it

and thus creating itself anew.

It's 12:27 on Saturday morning.

This is Hideshima Fumiko with J-Line Midnight Angle.

Tonight's theme is the wintry sea. I went to the sea in Okinawa recently.

When there's nobody around, the seaside is lonelier than I thought.

But I went to the aquarium and saw a big...

Hey, what's going on?

Just switch it off, will you?

You.

This was a total eclipse of the moon.

Just stop it, Masashi.

You're in such a bad mood. Did something happen?

Nothing in particular.

What kind of role did you have today?

It's not even a role. I just had to act dead.

He said, "For the actress who dreams of becoming the queen of horror. "

Since when have I wanted to be the queen of horror?

Plenty of actors on the agency's books don't have work.

You said so yourself.

My mother checks out all the shows you're in.

- Your mother? - Yeah.

The fact that her son's fiancйe is on TV is really something to boast about.

And what about the baby? Have you told the agency about it?

You can't hide it forever. And we have a due date now.

I know!

Do you know what? I...

What was that?

- I think we hit something. - What?

It's a cat.

What?

Well, let's go.

But...

It just jumped out of nowhere.

Masashi? Masashi!

Ju-On: The Grudge 2

Kyoko

Take care.

How is Masashi?

There's no change at the moment.

I'm so sorry that Kyoko was injured because of my son.

There's nothing to apologise for.

Kyoko. I'm so sorry you lost the baby.

I'm really sorry.

Kaori. Kaori, pull yourself together.

Kaori, I think you should rest.

I'm sorry.

Masashi.

It's cold.

You must be tired. Have a sip of this and go to bed.

Mum, did I have any siblings?

- What? - Like a brother who died in childhood?

A boy?

What are you talking about? You're my only child.

Right.

In my family, we were all girls. Your baby will probably...

It was probably a girl.

I'm sure it was a boy.

They're beautiful.

Thanks, Kyoko.

I wonder if he'll ever wake up.

- Teacher... - Who's there?

It's your fault.

And cut!

You scared me. What's wrong with you? The script doesn't say scream.

You're only an extra. Don't do things you're not told to do.

Chiharu? Chiharu

We'll take a break now. We'll continue from scene 27.

Please go for lunch.

- Thank you. - Chiharu?

- Chiharu! - What happened?

Kawate! Call Kawate!

Kawate!

It's been three and a half months now.

It's doing well.

Doctor...

Is there anything wrong?

Oh, you're back. You scared me.

- I'm back. - Welcome home.

Is there anything wrong?

Kyoko.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum. You'll catch a cold.

Come on, Mum.

Mum?

Mum?

Hey, Mum!

Answer me.

Mum! Hey, Mum!

Mum!

Tomoka

Years ago, the incident was reported about on TV and in the newspapers...

Reported about on TV and in newspapers... The incident was...

The incident was reported about on TV and in the newspapers. A woman...

What is it?

What's going on?

What is it?

Have you heard about the special programme?

- Which one? Keisuke's? - Yeah.

- Are you going to work on it too? - I'm getting fed up with that series.

I just think, "Not again!"

Speaking of that, do you know who the guest star is?

The guest?

It's an actress called...

Harase Kyoko.

- Harase Kyoko, the horror queen? - That's right. You like horror.

- Tomoka. - Good morning.

Good morning. There you are.

Where is it this time?

They found the rumoured haunted house in Nerima. It's an old family house.

Several people living there actually died.

A Real Haunted House - The Mysterious Deaths

I'm not going to do anything like what we did before.

What's that?

- You played the ghost really well. - Did you play a ghost?

I was tricked into it.

After that I was always given ghost roles.

- You do look rather ghostlike. - What's that supposed to mean?

- It's agreed then. - Wait. I'm not going to do it. Idiot.

Nori? Are you here already? Why are you in the dark?

Hey, Nori?

Tomoka, it's me.

Why didn't you open up?

Here I am.

What's wrong?

- Hey! - What's the matter?

It's not happening. You worry too much about it.

Wait a little longer. It usually happens at around half twelve.

- What time is it now, Tomoka? - Just be quiet for a while, yeah?

- Where is it? Around here? - Stop it, Nori.

You see. It was there.

What is this?

12:27.

- This is a corner room, isn't it? - Yeah.

There is another reason why it's called the haunted house.

A real reason.

Kyoko, there is more to this house than that.

There is another reason why it's called the haunted house.

- And why is that? - Sorry.

Actually...

Oh. I'm sorry.

This house was actually... The family that lived there after the incident...

Please record your message.

Hello, it's Noritaka. I'll come at around 11 again tonight.

Hello.

Hey! Hello...

What was that?

What's wrong with you? Answer me if you're there.

Are you still worried about it?

- Hello. - Hello, Nori.

I've just finished here on location.

Tomoka?

I'll come straight away. Hello, Nori?

Hello? Hello?

Tomoka?

Nori?

Hey. Why've you got the lights off?

Megumi

- Sorry to have kept you waiting, Kyoko. - Please go ahead.

I've seen all your movies.

Really? Thank you.

One of them was really scary.

The one with the granny in a cupboard.

- The Cursed Sliding Screen? - Yeah!

I saw that one too. It was scary.

Oh, really? Thank you.

Kei. They brought it.

- Right. I'm coming. - OK.

We'll start from where you come in. You're basically just following the reporter.

- Please comment in a cheerful way. - Yes.

To have the queen of horror movies in a haunted house makes for good TV.

What are you talking about?

- Was somebody really murdered here? - Yeah.

The newspapers wrote about it.

The woman who was killed in the first murder

is believed to continue to haunt the place.

What's that? Why do you keep on with it?

- You're ready now. - Thank you.

- Well, let's go. - Yeah.

Hello. This is Miura Tomoka.

Today's programme will focus on a house where murders have taken place.

The incident was covered by television and newspapers some years ago.

The abnormal events were the topic of those reports.

First of all, the woman who lived there was murdered by her husband.

Her body was found.

Then the couple's son disappeared

and he still remains unaccounted for.

We are now entering the house where this incident took place.

We can see it now.

Narration. The title is in.

It's in.

I'm breathing this indescribable air.

This is the house in question.

I'd now like to introduce our special guest.
