JU-ON

TOSHIO

I'm home.

Hi.

Ah, just a minute. Here.

Is it OK to move around so much?

I'm fine.

What's the matter?

Well...

A problem?

Yeah, well...

You're finished with home visits, right?

Well, just one more.

The student hasn't been to school.

Hmm... And his parents?

Well...

Can't contact them?

Yeah.

Hmm... It's hard being a teacher, isn't it?

Yes.

Toshio Saeki: Father Takeo, an illustrating artist, Mother Kayako.

Mr. Kobayashi!

Hey, remember Kawamata from our college?

Kawamata... Kayako Kawamata?

Yeah that's the one.

There was something creepy about her, wasn't there?

What's with this, out of the blue?

Oh, nothing special.

Strange...

Is it okay to eat so much?

Yes, it is!

Hello? Hello?

Mar's Grave.

Toshio?

So you're home.

Teacher...

What are you doing here?

I came 'cause I haven't seen you at school and I was concerned.

Toshio, is your mom home?

Toshio?

Hello?

Hello?

I'm coming in.

Toshio?

Tosh...

Toshio!

Are you alright?

What happened?

Are you alright?

Alright?

Let me, OK?

No fever...

Oh, yes.

Toshio, remember the picture you drew the other day?

You draw very well.

The other teachers were impressed, too.

Is your mom out shopping?

Together.

Together?

Did she go out with your dad?

Yeah.

I see.

What were you doing in the bathroom?

YUKI

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Mom needs to go out for a while.

So eat this during your break.

Yes, thank you.

It's here again.

So many of them around here.

I wonder if it's the same one we saw the other day.

It's alright, Yuki.

I'll chase it away.

OK.

Well, Kanna, study hard with the teacher.

Please look after her, Yuki.

Go already.

I'm gonna be back soon, so stay and have dinner with us.

Yes, thank you.

OK already.

Alright, alright...

Go ahead.

Please.

Hey, you got one?

Got what?

You know, a boyfriend.

That's got nothing to do with what we're doing.

Come on.

Aren't you impossible!

When you finish it up to here, we'll take a break.

If I finish up to here, will you tell me?

OK! For sure.

It's a promise.

Yes.

OK now, tell me!

About what?

So slick.

You promised.

Oh!

Wait a minute...

No, no. Listen.

What's that sound?

You stink!

No, really.

Don't you hear it?

OK, I'll tell you.

I don't have a boyfriend right now.

For real?

Really.

That's boring!

What do you want?

I really don't have one.

- Hey then, what about your ex? - Wait... quiet.

Don't you hear something?

What?

Hear a weird sound?

I don't hear anything.

Why, is it just me?

What if it was a cat!

Don't do that!

What?

I was supposed to go to my school today!

What, there's school today?

My turn to feed the rabbits.

Rabbits? How could you forget such a thing!?

Mizuho!

Kanna!

What? Hey, what is it?

Yuki, he's just got a girlfriend.

Really? Tsuyoshi has?

Have you met her?

He took her home once.

Really? What kind of a girl is she?

Believe it or not, she's real cute!

Hey, stop running your mouth!

Mi-zu-ho!

Have a safe trip!

Hey, Tsuyoshi!

Tsuyoshi!

What?

Don't you have her photo or something?

Nope!

Tsuyoshi! Tsuyoshi?

MIZUHO

Tsuyoshi?

Tsuyoshi?

Hey, Tezuka! Say, aren't you with Tsuyoshi?

What? No, I'm not.

But there's his bike.

Uh-huh.

Then, I'd say he's still around.

Can't get through on the cell?

No, he said Mr. Nakamura took it from him yesterday.

Wow, that's bad!

What's that?

Oh, I found it over there.

Wonder if he was with someone.

Hmm... Well, I'm sure he'll come by if you wait around.

Bye.

Oh, hey, help me find him!

Hey there!

What are you hanging around here for?

We're closing up, you'd better go home now.

- Yes, but I'm waiting for a friend. - A friend?

What are you talking about?

There's no one left in the school building.

I've just taken a look around.

Well, but his bike's still parked here and he left his bag, too...

So he's probably somewhere.

What's your homeroom and what's your name?

Huh?

Your homeroom and your name.

I'm in Junior Room Four, and my name is Mizuho Tamura.

Come with me to the teachers' room.

Yes.

Why are you moving slow?

Who's your homeroom teacher?

Be assured that you'll be reported.

Hurry up!

Calling Murakami of Junior Room Four.

Tsuyoshi Murakami of Junior Room Four.

If you're still in the school, report immediately to the teachers' room.

I repeat.

Murakami of Junior Room Four, Tsuyoshi Murakami of Junior Room Four.

If you're still in the school, report immediately to the teachers' room.

Well, I'll take another look around in the building.

You wait here for a little longer.

Oh, if he comes in here alone, don't leave until I get back here.

Understand?

Yes.

Oh, my name is Tamura. Tsuyoshi isn't home by any chance, is he?

Yes...
