Ring: The Final Chapter (1999–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Sadako fukkatsu - full transcript

Sa...da...

''Ogaki''

Professor...!

What's wrong?

That! Ogaki's got the virus with
the special tracer we created.

Ogaki?!

There is someone else besides
us looking for Sadako.

Someone who knows every move that we make.

ls it Yoshino?

ls it Miyashita?

Or perhaps even your son.



''Papa, you're busy with work,
but can you play tomorrow?''

l've got four days left.

Yoichi and Yoshino have six and a half.

And l'm no closer to solving
the message in the video.

Mt. Mihara.

Sadako's mother, Yamamura Shizuko.

You will give birth to a baby next year.

That's the baby Sadako.

What's left is this man with a wound on his shoulder.

Just who on earth is he?!

Yes, this is Yoshino.

Kawamura?

The police suspect that Takayama killed Kashiwada.

Do you know anything about Takayama?



Sorry, l don't.

l've got to go.

From all the information l've gathered,

it looks like we've got 70%/% of the votes.

There's only a week until the
election for college president,

so it's not likely that Nagao will win.

With all the money we've spent,
there's no way we can lose now.

What are you doing barging in?! Can't you knock?

What the hell are you doing?!

You want me to pull out of the election?

Yes. Ogaki has been found guilty of obstructing

Nagao's election candidacy.

Ogaki is your subordinate, isn't he?

l haven't heard of any maneuvering!

The other party said they will file a complaint

with the police. They won't file on one condition...

That you pull out of the election.

So she's Takayama's younger sister!

l think with a bit more time we'll be able to find out

what's troubling her. Just be patient.

By the way, we found out who stole the cell cultures.

As soon as we find the cell cultures,

we'll be able to find the real
cause of those heart failures.

So, four days left.

l don't really believe in this,
but l'll do everything l can.

Rieko, may l speak with you privately?

Did you show anyone the reports l gave you?

Why?

There is someone who knows every move we make.

One of us.

Am l a suspect?

l just need to make sure.

Well, l guess this is a time
when you can't trust anyone.

lt's understandable that you have to doubt me too.

We look forward to your being the next president.

Yes, there's no doubt that you are the next president.

Do you really suspect that it's one of us?

lt's not that.

Even if you do, it doesn't bother me.

No matter what you think, l'm on your side.

That's the detective we met yesterday.

Thank you for your help yesterday.

Do you have any leads on who killed Kashiwada?

Well, Takayama is a suspect
because of what Yoshino told us.

However, he's not at home or on campus.

There's a possibility that Takayama is here,

so we've come to investigate.

Please inform us right away if you find out anything.

Good afternoon.

What's wrong? You're not supposed to be up yet.

Doctor, l'm fine.

Thanks to you.

l'm physically all right too,

so can l go home now?

Not yet.

But l want to go back to school!

And l haven't seen any of my friends at all!

Well then, will you take a simple test?

Just to make sure that you're fully recovered.

l'm fine. l myself know if l'm all right.

Well, l'd just like to make sure.

Why?

Surely it's okay for me to go home!

l want to see my brother.

Please let me go to him.

Please!

Right now, please listen to the doctor, okay?

So you can see your brother sooner.

lt's no use trying to keep me here.

My brother will come for me.

Mr. Takayama!

Where is my sister?

l can't let you see her now.

Where is she?

ANSWER ME!

Where is she?

Answer me!

Dr. Miyashita!

Takayama...in my lab!

Brother!

Why didn't you come for me earlier?!

That doctor tried to make me talk and l was afraid!

l kept waiting for you! l wanted to see you.

You won't leave me alone anymore, will you?

What's wrong?

You came to take me with you, didn't you?

l can't right now.

You've got to wait a little more.

Why?!

Why do you say that?! Why?

Someday, l will.

Brother...

Takayama!

Takayama!

''Steel Tower.''

Takayama!

l'm here. Don't look!

The police will notice.

You were running away. Why did you come?

l had to see my sister one last time...

before l transform.

What do you mean, ''transform''?

Soon, l will become your enemy.

l will bring disaster with me. l will turn into the Devil.

Devil?!

But l want you to know just one thing.

No matter what l do, no matter what i turn into,

it has nothing to do with my sister.

My sister knows nothing.

Kazuyuki? There's a letter for you

from the Sada Chuo Hospital in Aoume.

lt came by express mail, so l wonder

if it's something serious.

Mai...

My name is Yoshino.

l was with you earlier. Do you remember?

Why does everyone think that
my brother's a murderer?

My brother hasn't done anything wrong.

Do you also think that my brother's a murderer?

l lost my parents when l was very young.

l was left with my aunts and uncles.

l was just a tiresome burden to them.

But every now and then

my brother would secretly come visit me.

Mai.

Brother.

Did you get scolded again?

Come stay here too.

l can't, Mai.

Close your eyes.

Hold out your hands.

l'm not going anywhere. l'll be right next to you.

Brother...

We made a promise that when
we grew up, we'd live together.

Does that sound strange?

Not at all.

l understand how you feel.

Papa, welcome back!

Welcome back. Here it is.

Papa, let's play!

All right, you get everything ready.

Did you have dinner?

lsn't that great, Yoichi?

You can have dinner with Papa tonight.

''Asakawa Kazuyuki''

''lkuma Sadako''

''Mr. Asakawa, if you happen to meet lkuma Sadako,

please give her this letter. Moriyama Shuhei.''

Mrs. lkuma Sadako, l hope this letter will

be given to you by someone l've
met who's searching for you.

l know that lately my mind
has been slowly deteriorating.

Twenty-two years ago,

you and a doctor from the sanitarium disappeared.

l don't harbor any ill will towards
the man you chose back then.

Even now, l still love you very much.

A doctor from the sanitarium?

Papa! lt's done!

Yoichi, l'm sorry. l've got to go out again.

l'm sorry.

Shall l play with you instead?

l don't want to! l want to play with Papa!

Papa said that we'd play together!

Don't say that.

l hate it! l hate it when Papa lies!

You're a liar, Papa!

Take care!

l'll be back.

So it was a doctor from the sanitarium.

And l only have three days left.

Mai hasn't really recovered?

l wanted to do some more tests on her.

The only thing she can think of is Takayama.

She loves her brother,

and because she loves him, she wants to be with him.

What's wrong with that?

l think it's admirable, such a pure innocent love.

ls that what you really think?

When you fall in love, what sort of love is it?

Even if you love someone deeply,

wouldn't you also have doubts,
questions, and resentment?

But even so, you're attracted to him.

You'd waver between those feelings, don't you think?

But it's completely different in Mai's case.

She only has good thoughts about Takayama.

And because of that, she wants to see him.

lf she's not with him, it's painful.
That's all. That's not true love.

Not true love?

Maybe it's a love that's been created.

Someone's programmed her with the thought

that she loves her brother.

ls that possible?

Can someone really force that on another person?

lt's possible to a certain extent,

if somebody has the skill and time for it.

lt's not difficult to do, even on a basic level.

You've heard of brain washing
and mind control, haven't you?

Whatever it is, there is something more vital

that's hidden inside her.

Sorry to bother you, but l'd
like to ask you something.

You're looking for this?

l worked as a security guard
at the sanitarium two years

before the tragedy and the closing of the sanitarium.

Some of the people on this list
may have left before the incident.

''Nagao Jotaro''
Some of the people on this list
may have left before the incident.

...the professor at your lab, Professor Nagao.

He used to work at the sanitarium in Hachioji.

Have you ever heard him mention it?

No, we don't really talk much
about what we did in the past.

l've learned that he was going out with lkuma Sadako.

Then you are saying that Professor Nagao is...

lt's possible.

l'll certainly check that out.

Excuse me...

There is nothing recorded for the years 1967 to 1977.

Also, that report you sent me...

l found a copy in his office.

So does that take me off the list of suspects?

lt seems that he's read it too.

What if he's the one looking for Sadako?

Professor!

Do you have some time?

l'd like to talk with you.

This is Mr. Asakawa, a friend of mine.

We've actually met before.

l remember. Please sit.

There is something l'd like to ask.

Do you know a woman by
the name of lkuma Sadako?

l don't.

l think you once worked at a tuberculosis sanitarium?

She was the girlfriend of a patient.

No, l've never worked at a tuberculosis sanitarium.

lt's not my specialty.

l don't mean to be rude, but where were you

between 1967 and 1977?

1967...

l was studying at New York
University's Medical School.

Excuse me, but l've got an appointment.

l'm sorry not to be of any help.

Actually, l found a report that
was personally addressed to me

in your office.

Did you by any chance read it?

Really? l didn't notice.

Did someone make a mistake
and sent it over to me? l'm sorry.

Congratulations on your promotion

to president of the university.

Now, as agreed, we just have to take care

of the influenza vaccine

and the virus that contains smallpox.

As you know, the virus that we supplied is harmless.

According to the pathological tests we've conducted,

it will not cause death.

Even so, it will cause a world panic.

Nobody knows we are

the only ones who have the vaccine.

However, right now my hands are tied.

lt's unthinkable!

A virus containing smallpox reappears,

killing all the mice in the lab.

We have taken care of the incident with the mice.

They all died of heart failure. Other than that,

no other traces were found.

Since then a number of people were found

to have died of heart failure.

One of the female doctors in
my lab thinks that there is some

connection between those deaths

and the deaths of the mice.

Professor...

Detective Kashiwada... Mr. Moriyama...

Have you forgotten what we have done

in order to cover up your past?

l haven't.

l'm sorry.

Thanks.

Asakawa...

lt's the stolen virus!

lt wasn't Dr. Ogaki who stole the virus!

lt was Professor Nagao!

Sadako!

lt's Sadako!

What about Sadako?

Sadako's over there!

Go away! You're dead!

What did you do to her?!

You were definitely dead!

What did you do to Sadako?!

You didn't...!

l met lkuma Sadako 30 years ago.

At the time l was a doctor at
the tuberculosis sanitarium

in Hachioji.

Sadako was working in town

and visited her boyfriend every day.

She was so beautiful l was
attracted to her at first sight.

How are you feeling?

About the same.

Thank you for everything.

ls there anything you'd like?

But Sadako never took any notice of me.

She never ever asked me if
there was anything l wanted!

l thought that compared to her boyfriend,

there was no reason why she should reject me.

Coming up with some pretext

and partly because l felt sorry for her, l asked her out.

But she spurned my advances!

l couldn't understand why!

l told her that without my help,

her lover would slowly get worse.

l threatened her so l could get intimate with her.

ln the end, she accepted.

No one knew about what happened.

After some time, Sadako
appeared at the sanitarium again.

l will never forget that summer day in 1977.

lt was so hot.

lnsects were buzzing around my ears.

What are you laughing at?

l've already left something precious behind.

Something precious?

l heard her voice clearly in my head.

You've been cursed!

Everyone who's brought me misery!

You've been cursed!

l was terrified!

And then...

l fled as if l was in a trance.

l lost everything!

Yes!

Now l've got everything back!

Soon, l will become the president of the university.

You're cruel!

Cruel?!

Only the powerful survive in this world!

Yes! Sadako is dead!

What l saw was just an illusion.

Do you know what has happened because of you?!

l've lived for this long!

l've lived for this long with only one more week to go!

Professor!

Sadako died 20 years ago.

This clears Takayama of everything.

What do we do now?

Dr. Miyashita.

Professor Nagao also died of heart failure,

just like all the others.

We found a tumor in the arteries.

l don't know why.

lf you think about it, it's really sad.

Only bad things happened to
her, and then she died like that.

lf that's really the truth behind Sadako's message,

it's possible that Sadako made us her tools

in order to take her revenge on Nagao.

Dr. Miyashita!

Could you come here for a moment, please?

Take a look.

These are the cultured cells of the virus.

that Professor Nagao stole and kept hidden.

The shape changes as it proliferates.

Yes. We've never seen anything like it before.

A ring.

Professor Nagao was infected by this virus.

lt then became a tumor in the heart arteries.

So, the cause of the heart failure is a virus.

Are we wrong about Sadako, after all?

l still don't see the connection
between the video and the virus.

Can you figure out how the
people who watch the video

get the virus? There is no doubt

that there is a link between Sadako and the video.

The place where Sadako died is now a school.

And the video originated from that school.

What if there was an element of revenge

that was in the well with her?

Perhaps Sadako's remains are still in the well?

lf we manage to find her remains
and hold a ceremony for her,

the curse might be broken!

No.

i still can't get over the feeling
that Sadako is right by our side.

What is that something precious
that Sadako left behind?

Now the video message is solved, isn't it?

The man with the wound on the shoulder was Nagao.

Sadako must have done that
with her mind when she was

about to be raped. lt's everything Sadako saw.

Everything that Sadako saw?

Wait a minute!

Maybe we've just made the wrong assumption!

What mistaken assumption have we made?

2 days left...
