Ex-Husband Ryuji helps Reiko solve the mystery, Reiko makes him a copy for further investigation. Things become more tense when their son Yoichi watches the tape saying Tomoko had told him to.

look like that.

Cause of death?

Unknown. Their hearts simply stopped.

Drugs?

Nothing in the autopsy.

They went up there to make out,

then they suddenly died.

It doesn't make any sense.

I heard that Yoichi came to the funeral.

Yes.

He used to go upstairs

and play in Tomoko's room.

He did.

Photo development receipt

This is where I found Tomoko dead.

Tomoko!

Izu Pacific Land

Izu...

I might be late tonight.

Put your supper in the microwave. Okay?

- Mom?

- Yeah?

Tomoko watched the cursed video.

Why would you say that?

Don't talk about that at school.

I won't. I'm going to school now.

Izu Parkway

This is crazy!

Izu Pacific Land

...enjoy our hot springs...

...the instructor will

teach you thoroughly...

- Wow, this is roomy!

- Yes, it is.

"My dad's fat. So is my mom.

So I'm fat, too."

Are you here alone?

Yeah, I'm working.

These four people stayed here

on August 29.

Did you notice anything unusual?

Just a minute. August 29...

That tape...

That one.

What is it?

This one?

Someone must have left it.

Eruption

Sada

One week!

Tuesday, September 14

Is Yoichi in elementary school already?

First grade.

So how are you, Ryuji?

The same.

What do you do?

Teach at a university.

So then there was a phone call?

Yes.

So this phone will ring after I see it?

Four people died, all on the same day!

Then get exorcised.

Take my picture.

Face this way.

Hurry up and take it!

It's over.

No phone call.

Copy this for me. I'll

take a good look at it.

You can't be sure that you're going to die.

It's a video. Someone made it.

I'll check who stayed there,

and if there were any pirate broadcasts.

Wednesday, September 15

From the Izu bureau.

Thanks!

What are you going to do

with the cabin registry?

Sorry, but I just need to check something

by myself.

Was it you?

Did you do this?

Sorry I'm late.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

So, do you have any new information?

No one I phoned brought a tape

to the cabin.

And they all sounded normal,

not like they'd make a tape like this.

How about pirate stations?

There's no record of an illegal broadcast

anywhere in Izu.

Here's the copy.

Asakawa.

Have you ever seen this woman?

No.

This shot is strange.

From that angle,

the cameraman should be in the mirror.

What do you mean?

I don't know. You could fix it

with special effects, but...

"Eruption."

Which eruption?

You can't read it on a regular home TV.

Come in.

This is Takano. One of my students.

Asakawa. My ex-wife.

How do you do? I'm Takano.

I'm Asakawa.

The publisher wants your essay.

Why did they tell you that?

Because they couldn't reach you.

Ask for a week extension.

Me? Ask them yourself!
