Ring: The Final Chapter (1999–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Dareka ga miteiru... - full transcript

ln any case, as a precaution,
please seal off this laboratory.

lf this is contagious, l'm the
only one who's infected by it.

For the time being, stay here and take some tests.

A baby?

Probably.

There is something even more terrifying.

''A curse has been cast on you.

Thirteen days later at this time

you will die.

There is only one way to be saved.

And that is...''



What's after that?

What's wrong?!

The video ends here.

There's nothing else on the video after this.

Why?!

Who knows. l'm afraid the video was turned off.

Or it was done on purpose.

So what's the answer?!

You find this funny?!

You look delighted!

Shouldn't you be pleased?

At the very least we now know
there's a way to be saved.

l've made a copy for you.

Perhaps you might find a hint or two.



Looks like it's becoming an interesting game.

Professor...

The test results are out. lt isn't a virus.

And you haven't been infected.

Thank God.

At least it's not the worst possible outcome.

What caused the mice to die?

That is something totally unbelievable!

Heart failure.

When autopsies were performed
on the mice we found that

their blood circulation had been cut off
and the heart cavity severely stressed.

The microscope showed that the cells had mutated.

All the mice had the same
symptoms at the same time?

That's right.

One day is gone.

ln 12 days, at this moment...

l will die.

What's happening inside me now?

Hello.

lt's Asakawa. Sorry to bother you.

Not at all.

You're working really late.

Well, something happened at the lab.

All the mice in our experiment

died of heart failure. We've
been trying to find the cause.

Did you?

No. Nothing at all.

We've requested an autopsy

of the superintendent from
Yatsugatake at Musashino.

Anything wrong?

Will you run some tests on me?

You're not feeling well?

All right.

Come by the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

l will.

What's wrong, Yoichi?

You're deep in thought.

You too.

All right, l won't do that today.

What's wrong?

Hey, what's with the sad face?

Smile!

What? Being stubborn today?

A ghost will come.

l'll come and get you as soon as l can. Go on in.

Yoichi, good morning!

The reaction to Matsuzaki Nao's
broadcast has been fantastic!

Really?!

People really were interested.

There's been a ton of phone calls and faxes.

Here, l got this from the radio station.

All of this?

Green represents people who first heard the rumor

a month ago, yellow means two months ago,

and red means three months ago.

l've separated everything by time.

Do you notice anything in particular?

Well, how shall l put it...

lt looks like it started from
the Kanto region and spread

outwards to the rest of the country.

Could be something, could be nothing.

Anything else?

Maybe we'll discover more
once we start on the article.

Oh, Senpai!

You're here. What are you doing?

Look at this! These are the responses to our survey

that was done on Matsuzaki
Nao's broadcast yesterday.

We're working on this right now.

Nice to meet you. l'm Kawamura,
from the news section.

This is Asakawa from the copy editing department.

He's my boss. l've been under
his wing for a long time.

Who's in charge of Matsuzaki
Nao at the talent agency?

lt's someone by the name of Yagi.

l haven't seen it, but what's
it got to do with the rumor?

Just a rumor that the video is a little strange.

That there's something appearing in it

that shouldn't have been there.

You mean there's a spirit in the
background or something?

Or something recorded by a
friend? lsn't it possible that

the signals from another
channel were superimposed?

l'm sure it's that.

Do you know when this was broadcast?

Wait a minute.

Three months ago.

October 3rd, from 1 to 1:30 AM.

lt was broadcast in the Kanto
region. lt was a local program.

Do you know the exact time this song was aired?

Gargle three times!

lt's common to superimpose one image on the other

so you'd have, say... two faces on the screen.

What about putting a picture
or message into the image?

Well, let's see...

You could probably send different radio waves

and intercept the broadcast.

Radio waves are regulated by law.

But lawbreakers can still
interfere with the radio waves.

Just like overseas, where sometimes people

superimpose their own messages onto broadcasts.

For example, look over here.

Say this one is being broadcast by the TV station.

And this one, is the other image...

This is the one that's going to interfere

with the original broadcast.

So by mixing both signals together, you get this.

When the interfering signal is
stronger, that's the image you get.

Yoshino, it's Asakawa.

Just wait a bit more.

ln two or three hours l'll have finished with the faxes.

l think we'll get a great response
from today's broadcast too.

Forget about that.

l need you to check something
out for me. Write this down...

Find out whether there were
any interfering radio signals

on October 3rd from 1:07 to
1:10 AM in the Kanto region.

The stations would certainly have the information.

Are you listening, Yoshino?

Just what do you take me for?

Telling me to check something out one
moment, and telling me to stop the next.

What are you up to?

What are you looking for? You
aren't telling me anything!

Just think about how l feel!

lf you have no more use for
those faxes l'll burn them.

Wait a minute Yoshino.

l'm sorry about this.

lf you want to check something
out, please do it yourself.

l have my own work to do. l am
no longer your subordinate.

Miyashita!

l'd like to have your opinion.

You've heard of the scholar Takayama Ryuji?

Yes. That he apparently killed someone using a curse.

Actually l've got an acquaintance in the police force.

He asked me for my opinion on this case.

The police think that there
must be a trick somewhere.

ln any case, l don't believe in curses.

The older l get, the more stubborn l become.

lt's pathetic, but l don't even remember

what happened yesterday anymore.

This is a copy of the program.

lt shows the moment of the Professor's death.

lf possible, l'd like you to see what you come up with.

All right. l'll take a look at it.

l don't believe in curses either.

Yoichi!

lnoue-sensei, what's wrong?

Take these medical records and go get tested.

Come back here with them when you're done.

l'll see you later.

Hello? You're looking for Asakawa?

Hello? Who's speaking?

lf there's nothing important l'm going to hang up.

What's wrong?

l think it's a prank. lt sounds like a kid's voice.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello?!

Next stop Suidoubashi...

Yoichi?! What's wrong?! Hold on! Yoichi!

Please wait outside.

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

You may leave a message after the tone.

Blood test, CAT scan, heart test...

All looks normal.

l see. You didn't find anything.

What's wrong? You're not happy with being healthy?

No.

Just suppose...

lf someone were prone to die a sudden death,

would an examination discover anything?

l'm just saying, for example,

that recently there have been a
number of seemingly healthy

people who just unexpectedly died.

Well... you certainly hear that a lot, but usually

these people have taken their health for granted,

or just didn't notice any change in their own body.

lf they had gone for a proper checkup,

l'm sure problems would have been discovered.

Not to mention that people
prone to dying are unheard of.

ls there something bothering you?

No.

Thank you for everything.

l'm looking for Asakawa Yoichi.

He's on the second floor, room k.

Papa.

Yoichi.

Apparently he was too cold.

Luckily he didn't get pneumonia.

The doctor said that as long as he gets some rest,

he'll be all right.

Only... it seems that mentally,
there might be a problem.

Mentally?

Although Yoichi hasn't said anything,

something has happened that
is seriously bothering him.

The doctor suggested that could
be the reason for his illness.

l've been trying to reach you.

Where have you been all this while?

l'm sorry.

Please tell me what's happened.

l know something terrible has happened to you.

Nothing's happened.

Stop hiding it! What did you see in Yatsugatake?!

What did you talk to Takayama Ryuji about?!

What was on that tape you tried to hide?!

Stop it.

Really, it's nothing.

Do you know what Yoichi,
lying in that bed, said to me?

Yoichi...

Papa...

What is it?

Please save papa.

Please save papa.

Hearing that...

He must be suffering, and yet
he told me, ''Please save papa.''

Yoichi has been worrying about you.

He left the kindergarten and went looking for you!

Why?

He knows that you are suffering!

No matter how you try to hide it,

no matter how you behave,

if you're feeling uneasy it shows

because you're important to everyone around you.

That's why everyone will be
troubled if you don't brighten up.

Everyone will suffer.

l'll do anything in my power to help.

So please tell me everything!

l can't.

lt's not something l want you involved in.

lt's too dangerous.

Why?!

Wasn't it you who taught me never to shy away

from the truth?

Wasn't it you who taught me
never to believe anything

unless l saw it with my own eyes?!

That is not the issue!!

You'll understand eventually.

Until then l won't say anything.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Do curses really exist?

The critical moment is at hand.
Now you'll know your fate.

Do curses really exist?

The critical moment is at hand.
Now you'll know your fate.

Hello? Professor Nagao? This is Miyashita.

l've just watched that video you gave me.

The curse by Takayama Ryuji. l
think l've got a possible answer.

Yoichi, there's nothing to worry about.

l'll always be with you.

Let's go somewhere when you get better.

Where would you like to go?

ls there anything you want?

lf you get up in the middle of
the night to look for something,

please wake me up.

Papa...

l want to go home.

lt would be better if he stayed in the hospital tonight.

lt's all right.

Please take the medication on time.

The shutter blinks once every five to seven seconds.

What's this?

That's it!

When l went to the hospital,
they said you'd gone home.

l thought you might be hungry.

l'm sorry about what l said earlier.

ls Yoichi all right?

Yes. He's asleep.

l've got something to tell you...

Sorry. l've got to go someplace.

l'll be right back. Please keep an eye on Yoichi.

Sorry.

lt's an African plant?

Yes. lt's called Gobrel and
contains an unusual poison.

Plants use poisons

to defend themselves.

Here's some information on the Gobrel's

daytime and nighttime behavior.

So when it is exposed to a strong light source,

it quickly expels the poison
to the surface of the plant.

What if this poison was somehow

carefully administered to the victim.

The light...

That's right, the light would be strong enough

for the poison to be effective.

lf the poison is concentrated
enough there is the danger

that humans could be killed.

So does this mean that Professor
Kaneda was killed by a spotlight

that had been coated with a
concentrated amount of poison?

What l'm saying is a mere possibility.

You've found out a lot. Thank you for your help.

You've been to the hospital.

You've undergone tests.

Medical science will not be able to explain anything.

ls it the smell of disinfectant?

l've found out something else.

The meaning of those images.

Watch it carefully.

There's a shutter in this video.

Every five to seven seconds,
this black screen appears.

Any ideas why?

Someone's blinking.

lt's like watching the scenes
through someone's eyes.

Whatever for?

l still don't know yet. And another thing...

This was superimposed onto the program.

This was broadcast on October
3rd from 1:07 to 1:10 AM

around the Kanto region.

l believe that the messages were superimposed

onto this broadcast by interfering radio waves.

l'm checking if there were any of those waves

coming from some unknown place.

l've got someone checking
with the authorities as well.

l'll get the answer tomorrow.

l've got only one question.

Do you really believe that this is two videos?

What?

Why would the broadcast be changed

so you see it through someone else's eyes?

We'll ask that person when we catch a hold of him.

Go ahead.

Hello, it's Yoshino.

ls something wrong?

Don't worry about Yoichi.
Right now he's sound asleep.

l said l had something to tell you earlier.

l thought the sooner l did, the better.

Regarding the interfering waves on October 3rd

between 1:07 to 1:10 AM that you asked me about,

l checked the records of the broadcasting stations

in the Kanto region and also those in the Shizouka,

Yamanashi and Nagano regions, just in case.

And?

There were no records of any interfering waves.

You can check with them tomorrow.

Come back as soon as you can. Bye.

There were no interfering radio waves.

You should know that by now.

Actually, no. You would have
known it before you came here.

But you didn't want to admit it.

Why are you turning away?

lsn't the answer staring at you right in the face?

The easiest answer...

lt can't be.

lt's just not possible!

l noticed one more thing in this video.

Look at it carefully.

Don't you think this is strange?

Why isn't there a camera in the mirror?

lf it was taken from this angle,

the camera would have
certainly appeared in the mirror.

lt's impossible to film this image.

A camera that doesn't appear in the mirror.

A shutter that blinks like an eye...

ln other words, images seen
through someone's eyes.

This is nensha (spirit photography).

These images have been projected onto this video.

lt's not anything unusual.

There is a historical record of
this in the physical sciences.

The constant exchange of 'plus'
and 'minus' electric waves

exist in the nerve tissue in the human brain.

We call that paranormal science.

The shape of the images that you've seen

exist as an electrical in your brain.

Denying the existence of nensha
is actually denying science.

Do you have any questions?

Understanding nensha is the key to your survival.

Now you should...

This is unfortunate. The game ends here for me.

And he is...?

A friend. lt doesn't matter, go ahead and speak.

lf it's all right, we'd like to clarify something with you

regarding Professor Kaneda's death.

Do you know of a plant called Gobrel?

But you would know, of course.

lt's also written in your thesis.

This plant, the Gobrel, appears to secrete a poison

when exposed to light.

lf this was used, then it's a crime.

Takayama?

Are we correct?

l see you've done some research.

l didn't think you knew anyone
with that much intelligence.

Thank you for your compliment.

Hey, did you really...?

What for?

The media are all outside the university.

This is to save you the embarrassment.

Thank you for your consideration
but there's no need for it.

ln the end, it's the police who will be humiliated.

lt's Takayama Ryuji!

He's appeared and has been arrested by the police!

Just what is the only way to survive?

11 days left...
