INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

KOMIYA, the cameraman, has lowered his camera. We can now see that

the young girl being interviewed is seated at a table between two

friends, a SHORT-HAIRED GIRL (GIRL#2) and a LONG-HAIRED GIRL (GIRL #3).

They are all dressed in the UNIFORMS of junior high school students.

Opposite them sits Komiya and Asakawa, a pretty woman in her mid-

twenties. A BOOM MIKE GUY stands to the left.

KOMIYA:

Uh, don�t look right at the camera,

OK?

YOUNG GIRL:

Sorry.

ASAKAWA:

Let�s do it again.

Asakawa glances over her shoulder, makes sure that Komiya is ready.

ASAKAWA:

Have you heard what kind of video

it might be?

YOUNG GIRL:

What I heard was, all of a sudden

this scaaarry lady comes on the

screen and says, �In one week, you

will die.�

GIRL #2

I heard that if you�re watching TV

late at night it�ll come on, and

then your phone�ll ring.

ASAKAWA:

Watching TV late at night... do you

know what station?

GIRL #2

Mmmm... I heard some local station,

around Izu.

ASAKAWA:

Izu?

GIRL #2

Mmm-hmm.

ASAKAWA:

And, do you know if anyone�s really

died from watching it?

The girl flashes a look at her two friends.

YOUNG GIRL:

Well, no one that we know, right?

Girl #2 nods her head. Girl #3 nods slowly, opens and closes her

mouth as if deciding whether to say something or not. The

reporter notices.

ASAKAWA:

What is it?

GIRL #3

I heard this from a friend of mine

in high school. She said that there

was this one girl who watched the

video, and then died a week later.

She was out on a drive with her

boyfriend.

ASAKAWA:

They were in a wreck?

GIRL #3

No, their car was parked, but they

were both dead inside. Her

boyfriend died because he�d watched

the video, too. That�s what my

friend said.

Girl #3 grows suddenly defensive.

GIRL #3 (cont�d)

It�s true! It was in the paper two

or three days ago.

ASAKAWA:

Do you know the name of the high

school this girl went to?

GIRL #3

No... I heard this from my friend,

and it didn�t happen at her school.

She heard it from a friend at a

different school, she said.

INT. NEWS STATION � DAY

Asakawa is seated at her DESK. The station is filled with PEOPLE,

scrabbling to meet deadlines. Komiya walks up to Asakawa�s desk

and holds out a MANILA FOLDER.

KOMIYA:

Mrs. Asakawa?

ASAKAWA:

Hm?

KOMIYA:

Here you are.

ASAKAWA:

(taking the folder)

Thanks.

Komiya has a seat.

KOMIYA:

This same kind of thing happened

about ten years ago too, didn�t it?

Some popular young singer committed

suicide, and then suddenly there was

all this talk about her ghost showing

up on some music show.

ASAKAWA:

But I wonder what this rumor�s all

about. Everyone you ask always

mentions �Izu.�
