Fatal Frame (2014) Movie Script
There's a curse that only affects girls.
For a long time,
I've been...
under that curse.
Please...
lift my curse.
Miss Aya?
Miss Aya?
Fatal Frame / Zero
February 10th.
It's been seven days since Aya...
shut herself in her room.
Not being able to see her...
makes me feel...
very anxious.
And I'm sure...
it's not just me.
Aya's absent again today.
Is she okay?
Did something happen?
Why is she not coming?
What do we do? When will Aya come back?
I have no idea.
I hope she comes out soon.
We were all...
in love with Aya.
Ever since the day...
we first saw her.
This is Ophelia's Song from Hamlet,
as translated by Ogai Mori in 1889.
We sing it as a hymn here.
Then, the first phrase, please...
miss Aya.
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
I wonder if that...
will be the last time I ever see Aya.
I want to see her again.
Aya...
Headmistress,
I'm worried.
I'm worried that Aya won't ever
come out of her room again.
She might be suffering from
the curse that befalls only girls.
Someone loves her,
and her heart's been stolen.
I'm kidding.
You all have matured, yes,
but you're not quite adults yet.
You're like a pupa, so to speak.
In order for a girl to enter
adulthood, she must die once.
Die?
Symbolically, of course.
She is now enduring the pain of
breaking open her cocoon.
Aya... Aya... Aya...
Aya...
Kasumi?
You haven't eaten anything. Are you okay?
Yeah.
Why...
Why won 't you come back?
One more month.
That's all the time left...
for me to see you.
So please,
Aya.
Come back.
Ah, watch it!
- Hey!
- Yeah?
It's our second time skipping class this
month! Are you sure it's okay, Itsuki?
It's okay! We're never gonna
use that for anything, anyway!
It's pointless and boring!
Oh, come on...
Let me.
Here.
I wonder how many more times I'll
get you to do my nails, Itsuki!
Once I open my nail salon,
you can come every day!
Your prospective fianc is rich, isn't he?
I really wish I could marry
the person I love, though.
Hey, do you remember?
The last day Aya came to class?
Graduation Choir: Ophelia's Song
Graduation Choir: Ophelia's Song
We only have a bit over a month until graduation.
It's an annual tradition that in
we sing Ophelia's Song, from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Aoi will be on the piano.
We're counting on you.
Right.
Now, for the solo... Any volunteers?
It has to be Aya!
Okay then, the solo will be
performed by Aya Tsukimori!
No, it won't.
I wanted to hear it one last time...
Aya singing Ophelia 's Song.
m
Besides, doesn't it bother you that
she won't come out of her room?
It pisses me off!
Just forget about her.
You know,
I heard of a ritual to make
Exactly at midnight,
when it's not today or tomorrow,
you have to kiss the photo of your love.
So that rumor's still there, huh?
That sure takes me back!
Mary...
That ritual was all the rage
back in my day, too!
Huh?
You went to our school?
You can't ever do that!
It's a curse that one girl puts on another.
A curse?
A long time ago, in the school, there were
two girls who did that ritual together.
One of them died, and they say the other one
has been haunted by her spirit ever since.
That's why we sing Ophelia's Song at
graduation. Because she died of tragic love.
Is that so?
That's right.
Erm, we have a curfew. Excuse us.
Come on, let's go back.
Excuse us!
Why are you believing her?
She didn't even go to our school,
she's just spreading gossip!
These are called Dimorphotheca. They
should be in full bloom once spring comes.
Exciting, right?
Gross.
What's so fun about this? Why do we have
to do this so early in the morning?
Do you need help?
I'm sorry. My brother isn't too
good at talking to people.
Please forgive him.
He has a green thumb, though, so the
headmistress asked for his help!
Right?
It seems like you're not used to this yet,
Michi, so you can just copy him.
Okay.
Kasumi?
What's wrong? Not feeling well?
Um...
Not really.
I see.
You know...
I think me too. Let's take a break!
Huh?
Michi, the teacher is going to scold us!
Oh, sorry I haven't gotten you that photo of Aya yet.
I tried taking one from the
courtyard yesterday,
but...
she didn't come to the window at all.
It's okay.
It's fine now.
Are you sure? You wanted one so bad!
You said you wanted a photo
of her before we graduate.
Hey, you think the rumor is true?
Rumor?
Everyone's been saying Aya might have been cursed.
You're going to college after
we graduate, right Kasumi?
I don't really have any particular plans.
I've been thinking about going to
Tokyo to study photography,
but if I go I'll have to dedicate myself
to it, and like, is that really what I want?
My mind's been going in circles every day.
What do you think, Kasumi?
On that day,
Kasumi disappeared...
before my very eyes.
A search party is currently looking for her,
but they haven 't found any sign of her yet.
I am sure you are all concerned,
but please remain calm.
Let us now pray to our Lord
for the safety of Kasumi Nohara.
Amen.
Kasumi's gone missing.
What?
She ran away because Aya rejected her?
Where did Kasumi go?
It's because she put a curse on Aya!
What's that?
She got spirited away.
I thought this was already over.
Hey!
Hey, is it true you got some sneaky
pics of the Seijutsu High girls?
Show 'em to us! You got
any of them changing?
No, they're pictures of a ghost.
A ghost girl that wanders this town.
A girl? Let's take a look!
What's this? There's nothing here!
Hey, give it back!
C'mon, try and get it! Here!
C'mon, try and get it! Here!
I gave it to someone! It's
just not there right now!
You gave it to someone?
You gave it to someone?
You gave it to someone?
Come on, we don't give a damn
about a vacant pool!
Come on, give it back!
Come on, we don't give a damn
about a vacant pool!
Right?
Right?
We don't mind if it's a ghost,
give us a swimsuit photo!
Yeah, where are the swimsuits?
Yeah, where are the swimsuits?
Give it back!
Kasumi...
You already had a photo of Aya.
She's so pretty...
Then the frost came after the snow.
The little swallow became colder and colder.
But he would not leave the Prince.
At last, he knew that he was going to die.
"I'm not going to Egypt, but to the house of Death, "
he said to the Prince.
He kissed the Happy Prince,
and fell down dead at his feet.
Early next morning,
the mayor was walking below.
He looked up at the statue.
"How shabby the Happy Prince looks. "
Lift my curse.
Miss Michi?
I so want it!
Oh, and at my new manicure place they
have a color that's perfect for you!
Really?
- Wanna go try it?
- Sure!
- Yay!
- When would be good?
Are you okay?
Thanks.
Michi, are you okay? Hang in there!
It's a photo of Aya!
Why do you have that?
Oh, that...
was in Kasumi's room.
I want one of these, too!
Kasumi must've treasured it a lot.
Let's store it safely until she comes back!
Really?
It's true! I went so far in the audition the other day!
How far?
Well, you know...
I got all the way to the application screening!
It was so close!
I was one step away from
the idol life I dream of!
I envy your positive thinking.
What do you mean?
That you're idol material.
Thanks! Good night!
Good night.
Aya! You're back!
What's wrong?
Lift my curse.
Risa? What's wrong?
I've been feeling weird lately.
I'm having visions of Aya every day.
I'm losing my mind.
Maybe I love Aya too much?
No.
I do, too.
I see her, too.
I see Aya...
every day.
Every day.
Ever since I saw that photo,
Aya started appearing before me.
When I follow her, I find myself...
in front of the photo stored in the attic.
When I come to,
I'm trying to kiss her photo.
Is this...
what Mary was talking about?
The curse a girl puts on a girl?
The one people say was put on Aya?
No...
Aya put on the curse.
It's weird, isn't it? She's been locked in her room
forever, and appears like a ghost to us!
Seducing us like that!
She...
She cursed her own photo and spread it to us all!
Lift my curse.
Everybody, please listen carefully.
Just like Kasumi Nohara, last night...
Itsuki disappeared.
Just like Kasumi.
That photo...
Aya's photo...
Because she kissed it?
For the time being...
you're forbidden to leave the dorms.
The sisters will take
so stay in your rooms.
You don't need to be afraid.
Our Lord Jesus is with us.
Do not forget
the practice of contemplation.
Lift my curse.
Miss Kotomi?
What happened?
What happened?
What's going on? Wake up!
Hey! What's wrong?
Miss Sakuya?
Miss Nukachida!
Hey, what happened?
Hey, how do you put that curse that
only affects girls on someone?
Exactly at midnight,
when it's not today or tomorrow,
you have to kiss...
the photo of your love.
She is...
She is calling our students.
On this campus,
unfounded rumors always
spread instantaneously.
Her curse is spreading just as fast.
Three girls went missing yesterday.
Maybe it can't be stopped anymore...
Takashi,
I'll protect you.
Risa?
Risa...
Why?
Why?!
I can't...
Everyone...
Where have they gone?
Stop it.
You're the one doing this, right?
Answer me!
What are you going to do with them?
Tell me!
I said, tell me!
What do you want with them? Huh?
Come out!
Help me...
Help...
Help... Help me...
Help me... Help me...
Help me... Help...
Help me...
lam being called.
Help me...
By her.
You know that, right?
Help me...
You know her.
Help me...
Help...
- She's calling...
- Help... Help me...
- She's calling me!
- Help me...
Help...
Help me... Help...
Help me...
Help...
Help me...
I'm still...
Help me...
Always have been...
wandering around to
see her once again.
I must go.
She's calling me.
She's calling me.
She's calling me.
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
5 Missing Students Found Dead
Police Suspect Mass Suicide
Kurosagi Express Delivery
Sorry...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
That's enough.
I've had it.
I'm tired.
Take me, like you took them!
Lift my curse.
Get a grip.
This is not me.
Aya?
Believe me.
I didn't do anything.
I just...
I had...
a strange dream.
A girl...
A girl in the water told me,
"Lift my curse. "
That girl...
looked just like me.
Tell me!
I said, tell me!
I was haunted by her voice.
So I looked myself in.
I thought I was under some curse.
But...
I heard the girls
who saw me died one by one.
Aya...
Who... is she?
Please...
Help me out.
Solve her mystery with me.
Takashi...
You went there again?
Come here.
Your feet are ice cold.
Let's take a bath! I'll wash your feet for you.
It's okay.
If he had visited Japan,
he would have drawn many pictures...
of the landscapes.
Michi.
of the landscapes.
If I had to do it,
I would have done it at that time.
As her father was killed in the accident,
Michi.
As her father was killed in the accident,
she is not happy.
It is time he went to bed.
He ought to go to bed now.
If you had not...
I heard there's someone who
Are you sure they're at a place like this?
Yeah, someone heard them talking about the school.
Mary...
Right?
It's a mess, but come in.
You want some?
We just ate.
Of course.
No one wants sandwiches that are only sold
in convenience stores here in the countryside.
My kid's the same.
Um...
Kusanagi.
My name's Kazumi Kusanagi.
I know you all just call me Mary, though.
Um, Ms. Kusanagi,
you're an alumna of our school, right?
Yeah. So what?
We want to know more about
All the girls who died had done
the photo-kissing ritual.
How can we stop this curse?
Sorry, I don't know.
But that ritual's been popular
with girls in the region for a long time.
Back then, love between girls wasn't allowed.
Adults forced couples apart.
It's a landfill now...
but there used to be a lake around here.
There were couples who
committed double suicide there.
This here,
was my family's business.
We ran a photo studio,
and we took photos for the girls' love ritual.
For the girls back then,
this studio was a sacred place.
I grew up here.
Surrounded by their faces.
I love you.
I love you. We 'II be together forever.
I'm always with you.
We 'II be together even after death.
I love you.
I love you.
Let us be together in the afterlife.
When I close my eyes,
I can still hear their voices.
Those girls.
They're the origin of the school myth.
They did the ritual and attempted suicide,
to be together in the afterlife.
But one of them didn't die.
What happened after that?
The one who died couldn't rest,
and wanders this town as a ghost.
And the one who survived
I'm home.
This is my son.
Hello.
Hello.
He's determined to run this studio,
and to take a photo of the
wandering ghost girl. Right?
Yeah.
Ah!
This is...
a photo of the ghost!
I saw her on a bridge.
It's the first ghost photo I took!
Kasumi...
got the photo from him
during a gardening session.
But that's not me.
If that's really a ghost's photo
like he said,
then that means there's a ghost wandering
around here who looks just like me?
There it is. It's the bridge
where he said he took the photo.
When there used to be a lake,
many girls committed double suicide here.
Aya!
What happened?
Get off me!
I don't...
want to go any further.
If you and I don't stop this curse now...
no one else ever will.
So...
I want you to tell me if you're hiding something.
When...
the school took me in,
there was another girl.
She...
died.
Before my eyes.
I couldn't save her.
Even though she begged me to.
In the end,
only I joined this school.
All the girls in the school started liking me.
When I realized it,
everyone's eyes were on me.
But I...
didn't want that.
I wanted to be alone.
I don't understand how a girl
could love another girl.
And I...
don't understand how anyone
could love a boy, either.
Come out! Murderer!
- Come out!
Come out here!
You won't get us!
You're not going to kill us!
- Come out here!
Come out, now!
There she is! She came out!
Wait!
Kill her.
If we kill her, we'll be saved!
Stop it!
Aya isn't cursing anyone!
You die if you kiss her!
See?
I'm fine.
She's just a regular human.
So strange.
What is?
Those dead bodies.
Their residual psychic energy...
I couldn't feel any of it at all.
Eh? What do you mean?
They're empty.
Like their spirits were flung somewhere far away.
Kurosagi Express Delivery
She is...
I'll get the headmistress!
Call the police, too!
Okay!
Risa!
Risa!
Risa?
- Risa?
- Risa?
Risa!
Just like the dead bodies.
Her spirit is not here.
But it's not too far.
Talk to me.
He's a psychic.
He can use his body as a medium.
Help...
Help me...
Help me...
Help...
Risa?
Help...
Help me...
Risa?
Where are you trying to go?
To where she is.
She is calling me.
She?
But I can't get close.
Why not?
I don't know.
No one can get near her.
The girl who looks like Aya.
She is dead.
Help...
Help me...
Help me...
Please, help me!
Lift her curse!
Help! Help!
Please help!
Help me!
Miss Risa has been found?
Yes, but she's unconscious!
Is she injured?
Miss Risa... Miss Risa!
The girl in the photo...
The girl who looks just like me is dead.
Maybe she's looking for her soul mate.
Like the girls who committed
double suicide back then.
But the lake is gone!
I'll kiss that photo.
What?
She's waiting somewhere.
Not at the lake.
Somewhere else.
I'll get cursed to find where she is.
What are you saying?
We can't stop the curse
unless we save her!
Promise me.
Say you will come save me.
And...
that you'll...
lift my curse.
Michi?
Michi?
Michi!
Michi!
Michi...
Help...
Help me, Michi!
Help!
Help me! Help!
Help!
Miss Michi!
I've been looking for you!
You weren't in your room!
Miss Michi!
I won't let you get there.
Takashi...
You went there again?
You got into the reservoir again!
That place should never be opened again!
No one can know what's inside!
It's to protect you!
So listen to me, alright?
I'll take care of anyone who gets near it, okay?
It's okay.
You're okay!
That girl...
That girl in the water...
c-came back to life!
She came outside!
So I sunk her!
Takashi...
You drowned another girl?
No, I... No...
I j-j-just took her b-back to where she was!
How could you?!
Help! Help me!
Help!
Aya...
Aya!
Maya!
Identical twins, I see.
Your names?
I'm Aya!
I'm Maya!
Aya...
Maya?
Aya...
Aya...
Aya...
I've always been waiting for you.
All this time.
I 've been waiting.
Since that day,
all this time...
I've been...
under a curse.
A curse to be lifted
Was I dead?
Or alive?
I don 't know.
Years ago,
this place used to be a lake.
I absorbed the sentiments of
I love you. We 'II be together forever.
I'm always with you.
We 'II be together even after death.
Let us be together in the afterlife.
As you grew up,
I grew up, too.
Please...
Lift my curse.
Maya,
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I was too afraid to remember.
No, I didn't want to.
I've...
always been running away.
I'm here with you, Maya.
This time for sure...
I won't leave you alone.
I will...
stay here...
with you forever.
You can 't.
You can 't stay here, Aya.
You...
should live a proper life.
Maya?
Grow up here...
and become an adult.
For both of us.
Promise me.
Aya?
Aya!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi...
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Hey!
Hey! Anyone there?
Michi!
Aya!
You came to save me.
Thank you.
Thank you, too.
For lifting the curse.
I promised you, remember?
The remains found in the reservoir
Was the 18-year-old Maya I saw...
just a vision?
Takashi had been...
offering flowers to Maya...
in the reservoir every day.
To hide the body...
that was in the water,
Sister Aso had been...
drowning the girls who went near it,
and disposing of their bodies in the river.
That is the rumor on campus.
But...
I feel like I 'm forgetting something.
This is yours.
You sure?
Yes. Please take it.
I got to meet Maya.
Even though we're apart,
I feel we're connected.
From now on, too.
Today is our graduation.
Please come hear us sing Ophelia's Song.
I'm sure it'll bring back many memories.
I'll pass.
I'm not actually an alumna of this school!
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.
Dazzling light in the summer night
A picture of a heavenly maiden in the evening
She glimmers as she floats on the water
And the one who survived
Stones cracked from the earth and my majesty walked...
It's true that I suffered.
Her spirit haunted me for a long time.
No...
Maybe it was just a vision.
A phantom my heart created.
Her image was stuck in my head...
Forever.
It just would not go away.
Not even after I became an adult.
I could never find love.
I just grew older,
and suffered for years and years.
Then one day...
Lift my curse.
That's when I thought,
I would lift her curse.
I just needed to give her a girl
she could take with her.
You two will be living here from now on.
Identical twins, I see.
Your names?
I'm Aya!
I'm Maya!
There is a reason why I took you in.
I will let one of you stay here,
well taken care of.
But...
The other one...
will die here.
It doesn't matter which one it is.
Will you decide yourselves?
Or should I?
M will... I'm older.
Maya!
Maya!
Aya!
I killed the girl.
Not Sister Aso and her brother.
Stones cracked from the earth and my majesty walked...
I'm glad I could hear it again this year.
Put me in a grave at night, under my
beloved moon, one above the water
With you, my dear, in the brook
I hope to see you
My own body is a broken stone
Lit up once and the cracks can be seen
Fallen in love with a flower on a lovely day
It's so beautiful, let me capture it
I never turned around
The importance of the chime at eight
A flower turned by the side of the sitting stone
A white lily upon the stone
Your weeping form
I will remember
Do you know about the curse
that only affects girls?
You have to kiss the photo of your love,
exactly at midnight, when it's
not today or tomorrow.
The one people say was put on Aya?
Who's Aya?
Who'd think Waka would become an idol, huh?
She actually faked it till she made it.
How about Risa?
She said she's going to a nailist school,
to fulfill Itsuki's dream in her place.
I see.
I've decided...
that I'll go to Tokyo.
I see.
Do your best!
And you?
I'm staying in this town.
To grow up here.
I've decided.
I see.
We'll be apart, then.
Hey!
I want to take your photo before I go.
Huh?
I've been trying to take one forever!
Can I?
Susumu, lend me that?
Sure.
Thanks.
Crouch down a bit.
Like this?
Is this their spirits?
Or is it...
My heartfelt wish?
You're not taking it?
Not today.
Why not?
I'll study in Tokyo,
become an adult,
and one day...
I'll come back with my camera,
to take a photo of you.
So...
wait for me.
I will.
This is how we grow to
become normal adults.
Our girlhood is over now.
But...
We 'II never forget.
At the time, we were...
under the curse that only affects girls.
I've always hated myself too much, (Yeah)
so I kept hurting myself.
I've always kept looking for that one
piece of my heart that was missing.
I 'd left it softly sunken down...
at the bottom of a lake,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
but now I want to hug tightly that
part of myself I tried to forget.
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't hate myself anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to take the first step forward
I'm not at all perfect, but...
one day I want to be able to love myself!
I looked up to you so much,
that I couldn't even come close to you.
Selfishly trying to force someone to live
up to my own ideals is not real love!
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't ask anything of you anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to start moving forward
I'm not perfect, but...
one day I want to be able to make myself smile!
Everyone wants to become someone else,
so we imitate them, and get things wrong.
That's how we find our originality.
There's something only I can do.
I have my good points, too!
We come to realize those kinds of things, eventually!
Gotta go now,
find myself now
Gotta go
Hey, hey, hey
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't hate myself anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to take the first step forward
I'm not at all perfect, but...
one day! want to be able to love myself!
Love ain't easy, yeah
For a long time,
I've been...
under that curse.
Please...
lift my curse.
Miss Aya?
Miss Aya?
Fatal Frame / Zero
February 10th.
It's been seven days since Aya...
shut herself in her room.
Not being able to see her...
makes me feel...
very anxious.
And I'm sure...
it's not just me.
Aya's absent again today.
Is she okay?
Did something happen?
Why is she not coming?
What do we do? When will Aya come back?
I have no idea.
I hope she comes out soon.
We were all...
in love with Aya.
Ever since the day...
we first saw her.
This is Ophelia's Song from Hamlet,
as translated by Ogai Mori in 1889.
We sing it as a hymn here.
Then, the first phrase, please...
miss Aya.
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
I wonder if that...
will be the last time I ever see Aya.
I want to see her again.
Aya...
Headmistress,
I'm worried.
I'm worried that Aya won't ever
come out of her room again.
She might be suffering from
the curse that befalls only girls.
Someone loves her,
and her heart's been stolen.
I'm kidding.
You all have matured, yes,
but you're not quite adults yet.
You're like a pupa, so to speak.
In order for a girl to enter
adulthood, she must die once.
Die?
Symbolically, of course.
She is now enduring the pain of
breaking open her cocoon.
Aya... Aya... Aya...
Aya...
Kasumi?
You haven't eaten anything. Are you okay?
Yeah.
Why...
Why won 't you come back?
One more month.
That's all the time left...
for me to see you.
So please,
Aya.
Come back.
Ah, watch it!
- Hey!
- Yeah?
It's our second time skipping class this
month! Are you sure it's okay, Itsuki?
It's okay! We're never gonna
use that for anything, anyway!
It's pointless and boring!
Oh, come on...
Let me.
Here.
I wonder how many more times I'll
get you to do my nails, Itsuki!
Once I open my nail salon,
you can come every day!
Your prospective fianc is rich, isn't he?
I really wish I could marry
the person I love, though.
Hey, do you remember?
The last day Aya came to class?
Graduation Choir: Ophelia's Song
Graduation Choir: Ophelia's Song
We only have a bit over a month until graduation.
It's an annual tradition that in
we sing Ophelia's Song, from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Aoi will be on the piano.
We're counting on you.
Right.
Now, for the solo... Any volunteers?
It has to be Aya!
Okay then, the solo will be
performed by Aya Tsukimori!
No, it won't.
I wanted to hear it one last time...
Aya singing Ophelia 's Song.
m
Besides, doesn't it bother you that
she won't come out of her room?
It pisses me off!
Just forget about her.
You know,
I heard of a ritual to make
Exactly at midnight,
when it's not today or tomorrow,
you have to kiss the photo of your love.
So that rumor's still there, huh?
That sure takes me back!
Mary...
That ritual was all the rage
back in my day, too!
Huh?
You went to our school?
You can't ever do that!
It's a curse that one girl puts on another.
A curse?
A long time ago, in the school, there were
two girls who did that ritual together.
One of them died, and they say the other one
has been haunted by her spirit ever since.
That's why we sing Ophelia's Song at
graduation. Because she died of tragic love.
Is that so?
That's right.
Erm, we have a curfew. Excuse us.
Come on, let's go back.
Excuse us!
Why are you believing her?
She didn't even go to our school,
she's just spreading gossip!
These are called Dimorphotheca. They
should be in full bloom once spring comes.
Exciting, right?
Gross.
What's so fun about this? Why do we have
to do this so early in the morning?
Do you need help?
I'm sorry. My brother isn't too
good at talking to people.
Please forgive him.
He has a green thumb, though, so the
headmistress asked for his help!
Right?
It seems like you're not used to this yet,
Michi, so you can just copy him.
Okay.
Kasumi?
What's wrong? Not feeling well?
Um...
Not really.
I see.
You know...
I think me too. Let's take a break!
Huh?
Michi, the teacher is going to scold us!
Oh, sorry I haven't gotten you that photo of Aya yet.
I tried taking one from the
courtyard yesterday,
but...
she didn't come to the window at all.
It's okay.
It's fine now.
Are you sure? You wanted one so bad!
You said you wanted a photo
of her before we graduate.
Hey, you think the rumor is true?
Rumor?
Everyone's been saying Aya might have been cursed.
You're going to college after
we graduate, right Kasumi?
I don't really have any particular plans.
I've been thinking about going to
Tokyo to study photography,
but if I go I'll have to dedicate myself
to it, and like, is that really what I want?
My mind's been going in circles every day.
What do you think, Kasumi?
On that day,
Kasumi disappeared...
before my very eyes.
A search party is currently looking for her,
but they haven 't found any sign of her yet.
I am sure you are all concerned,
but please remain calm.
Let us now pray to our Lord
for the safety of Kasumi Nohara.
Amen.
Kasumi's gone missing.
What?
She ran away because Aya rejected her?
Where did Kasumi go?
It's because she put a curse on Aya!
What's that?
She got spirited away.
I thought this was already over.
Hey!
Hey, is it true you got some sneaky
pics of the Seijutsu High girls?
Show 'em to us! You got
any of them changing?
No, they're pictures of a ghost.
A ghost girl that wanders this town.
A girl? Let's take a look!
What's this? There's nothing here!
Hey, give it back!
C'mon, try and get it! Here!
C'mon, try and get it! Here!
I gave it to someone! It's
just not there right now!
You gave it to someone?
You gave it to someone?
You gave it to someone?
Come on, we don't give a damn
about a vacant pool!
Come on, give it back!
Come on, we don't give a damn
about a vacant pool!
Right?
Right?
We don't mind if it's a ghost,
give us a swimsuit photo!
Yeah, where are the swimsuits?
Yeah, where are the swimsuits?
Give it back!
Kasumi...
You already had a photo of Aya.
She's so pretty...
Then the frost came after the snow.
The little swallow became colder and colder.
But he would not leave the Prince.
At last, he knew that he was going to die.
"I'm not going to Egypt, but to the house of Death, "
he said to the Prince.
He kissed the Happy Prince,
and fell down dead at his feet.
Early next morning,
the mayor was walking below.
He looked up at the statue.
"How shabby the Happy Prince looks. "
Lift my curse.
Miss Michi?
I so want it!
Oh, and at my new manicure place they
have a color that's perfect for you!
Really?
- Wanna go try it?
- Sure!
- Yay!
- When would be good?
Are you okay?
Thanks.
Michi, are you okay? Hang in there!
It's a photo of Aya!
Why do you have that?
Oh, that...
was in Kasumi's room.
I want one of these, too!
Kasumi must've treasured it a lot.
Let's store it safely until she comes back!
Really?
It's true! I went so far in the audition the other day!
How far?
Well, you know...
I got all the way to the application screening!
It was so close!
I was one step away from
the idol life I dream of!
I envy your positive thinking.
What do you mean?
That you're idol material.
Thanks! Good night!
Good night.
Aya! You're back!
What's wrong?
Lift my curse.
Risa? What's wrong?
I've been feeling weird lately.
I'm having visions of Aya every day.
I'm losing my mind.
Maybe I love Aya too much?
No.
I do, too.
I see her, too.
I see Aya...
every day.
Every day.
Ever since I saw that photo,
Aya started appearing before me.
When I follow her, I find myself...
in front of the photo stored in the attic.
When I come to,
I'm trying to kiss her photo.
Is this...
what Mary was talking about?
The curse a girl puts on a girl?
The one people say was put on Aya?
No...
Aya put on the curse.
It's weird, isn't it? She's been locked in her room
forever, and appears like a ghost to us!
Seducing us like that!
She...
She cursed her own photo and spread it to us all!
Lift my curse.
Everybody, please listen carefully.
Just like Kasumi Nohara, last night...
Itsuki disappeared.
Just like Kasumi.
That photo...
Aya's photo...
Because she kissed it?
For the time being...
you're forbidden to leave the dorms.
The sisters will take
so stay in your rooms.
You don't need to be afraid.
Our Lord Jesus is with us.
Do not forget
the practice of contemplation.
Lift my curse.
Miss Kotomi?
What happened?
What happened?
What's going on? Wake up!
Hey! What's wrong?
Miss Sakuya?
Miss Nukachida!
Hey, what happened?
Hey, how do you put that curse that
only affects girls on someone?
Exactly at midnight,
when it's not today or tomorrow,
you have to kiss...
the photo of your love.
She is...
She is calling our students.
On this campus,
unfounded rumors always
spread instantaneously.
Her curse is spreading just as fast.
Three girls went missing yesterday.
Maybe it can't be stopped anymore...
Takashi,
I'll protect you.
Risa?
Risa...
Why?
Why?!
I can't...
Everyone...
Where have they gone?
Stop it.
You're the one doing this, right?
Answer me!
What are you going to do with them?
Tell me!
I said, tell me!
What do you want with them? Huh?
Come out!
Help me...
Help...
Help... Help me...
Help me... Help me...
Help me... Help...
Help me...
lam being called.
Help me...
By her.
You know that, right?
Help me...
You know her.
Help me...
Help...
- She's calling...
- Help... Help me...
- She's calling me!
- Help me...
Help...
Help me... Help...
Help me...
Help...
Help me...
I'm still...
Help me...
Always have been...
wandering around to
see her once again.
I must go.
She's calling me.
She's calling me.
She's calling me.
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
5 Missing Students Found Dead
Police Suspect Mass Suicide
Kurosagi Express Delivery
Sorry...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
That's enough.
I've had it.
I'm tired.
Take me, like you took them!
Lift my curse.
Get a grip.
This is not me.
Aya?
Believe me.
I didn't do anything.
I just...
I had...
a strange dream.
A girl...
A girl in the water told me,
"Lift my curse. "
That girl...
looked just like me.
Tell me!
I said, tell me!
I was haunted by her voice.
So I looked myself in.
I thought I was under some curse.
But...
I heard the girls
who saw me died one by one.
Aya...
Who... is she?
Please...
Help me out.
Solve her mystery with me.
Takashi...
You went there again?
Come here.
Your feet are ice cold.
Let's take a bath! I'll wash your feet for you.
It's okay.
If he had visited Japan,
he would have drawn many pictures...
of the landscapes.
Michi.
of the landscapes.
If I had to do it,
I would have done it at that time.
As her father was killed in the accident,
Michi.
As her father was killed in the accident,
she is not happy.
It is time he went to bed.
He ought to go to bed now.
If you had not...
I heard there's someone who
Are you sure they're at a place like this?
Yeah, someone heard them talking about the school.
Mary...
Right?
It's a mess, but come in.
You want some?
We just ate.
Of course.
No one wants sandwiches that are only sold
in convenience stores here in the countryside.
My kid's the same.
Um...
Kusanagi.
My name's Kazumi Kusanagi.
I know you all just call me Mary, though.
Um, Ms. Kusanagi,
you're an alumna of our school, right?
Yeah. So what?
We want to know more about
All the girls who died had done
the photo-kissing ritual.
How can we stop this curse?
Sorry, I don't know.
But that ritual's been popular
with girls in the region for a long time.
Back then, love between girls wasn't allowed.
Adults forced couples apart.
It's a landfill now...
but there used to be a lake around here.
There were couples who
committed double suicide there.
This here,
was my family's business.
We ran a photo studio,
and we took photos for the girls' love ritual.
For the girls back then,
this studio was a sacred place.
I grew up here.
Surrounded by their faces.
I love you.
I love you. We 'II be together forever.
I'm always with you.
We 'II be together even after death.
I love you.
I love you.
Let us be together in the afterlife.
When I close my eyes,
I can still hear their voices.
Those girls.
They're the origin of the school myth.
They did the ritual and attempted suicide,
to be together in the afterlife.
But one of them didn't die.
What happened after that?
The one who died couldn't rest,
and wanders this town as a ghost.
And the one who survived
I'm home.
This is my son.
Hello.
Hello.
He's determined to run this studio,
and to take a photo of the
wandering ghost girl. Right?
Yeah.
Ah!
This is...
a photo of the ghost!
I saw her on a bridge.
It's the first ghost photo I took!
Kasumi...
got the photo from him
during a gardening session.
But that's not me.
If that's really a ghost's photo
like he said,
then that means there's a ghost wandering
around here who looks just like me?
There it is. It's the bridge
where he said he took the photo.
When there used to be a lake,
many girls committed double suicide here.
Aya!
What happened?
Get off me!
I don't...
want to go any further.
If you and I don't stop this curse now...
no one else ever will.
So...
I want you to tell me if you're hiding something.
When...
the school took me in,
there was another girl.
She...
died.
Before my eyes.
I couldn't save her.
Even though she begged me to.
In the end,
only I joined this school.
All the girls in the school started liking me.
When I realized it,
everyone's eyes were on me.
But I...
didn't want that.
I wanted to be alone.
I don't understand how a girl
could love another girl.
And I...
don't understand how anyone
could love a boy, either.
Come out! Murderer!
- Come out!
Come out here!
You won't get us!
You're not going to kill us!
- Come out here!
Come out, now!
There she is! She came out!
Wait!
Kill her.
If we kill her, we'll be saved!
Stop it!
Aya isn't cursing anyone!
You die if you kiss her!
See?
I'm fine.
She's just a regular human.
So strange.
What is?
Those dead bodies.
Their residual psychic energy...
I couldn't feel any of it at all.
Eh? What do you mean?
They're empty.
Like their spirits were flung somewhere far away.
Kurosagi Express Delivery
She is...
I'll get the headmistress!
Call the police, too!
Okay!
Risa!
Risa!
Risa?
- Risa?
- Risa?
Risa!
Just like the dead bodies.
Her spirit is not here.
But it's not too far.
Talk to me.
He's a psychic.
He can use his body as a medium.
Help...
Help me...
Help me...
Help...
Risa?
Help...
Help me...
Risa?
Where are you trying to go?
To where she is.
She is calling me.
She?
But I can't get close.
Why not?
I don't know.
No one can get near her.
The girl who looks like Aya.
She is dead.
Help...
Help me...
Help me...
Please, help me!
Lift her curse!
Help! Help!
Please help!
Help me!
Miss Risa has been found?
Yes, but she's unconscious!
Is she injured?
Miss Risa... Miss Risa!
The girl in the photo...
The girl who looks just like me is dead.
Maybe she's looking for her soul mate.
Like the girls who committed
double suicide back then.
But the lake is gone!
I'll kiss that photo.
What?
She's waiting somewhere.
Not at the lake.
Somewhere else.
I'll get cursed to find where she is.
What are you saying?
We can't stop the curse
unless we save her!
Promise me.
Say you will come save me.
And...
that you'll...
lift my curse.
Michi?
Michi?
Michi!
Michi!
Michi...
Help...
Help me, Michi!
Help!
Help me! Help!
Help!
Miss Michi!
I've been looking for you!
You weren't in your room!
Miss Michi!
I won't let you get there.
Takashi...
You went there again?
You got into the reservoir again!
That place should never be opened again!
No one can know what's inside!
It's to protect you!
So listen to me, alright?
I'll take care of anyone who gets near it, okay?
It's okay.
You're okay!
That girl...
That girl in the water...
c-came back to life!
She came outside!
So I sunk her!
Takashi...
You drowned another girl?
No, I... No...
I j-j-just took her b-back to where she was!
How could you?!
Help! Help me!
Help!
Aya...
Aya!
Maya!
Identical twins, I see.
Your names?
I'm Aya!
I'm Maya!
Aya...
Maya?
Aya...
Aya...
Aya...
I've always been waiting for you.
All this time.
I 've been waiting.
Since that day,
all this time...
I've been...
under a curse.
A curse to be lifted
Was I dead?
Or alive?
I don 't know.
Years ago,
this place used to be a lake.
I absorbed the sentiments of
I love you. We 'II be together forever.
I'm always with you.
We 'II be together even after death.
Let us be together in the afterlife.
As you grew up,
I grew up, too.
Please...
Lift my curse.
Maya,
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I was too afraid to remember.
No, I didn't want to.
I've...
always been running away.
I'm here with you, Maya.
This time for sure...
I won't leave you alone.
I will...
stay here...
with you forever.
You can 't.
You can 't stay here, Aya.
You...
should live a proper life.
Maya?
Grow up here...
and become an adult.
For both of us.
Promise me.
Aya?
Aya!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi...
Takashi!
Takashi!
Takashi!
Hey!
Hey! Anyone there?
Michi!
Aya!
You came to save me.
Thank you.
Thank you, too.
For lifting the curse.
I promised you, remember?
The remains found in the reservoir
Was the 18-year-old Maya I saw...
just a vision?
Takashi had been...
offering flowers to Maya...
in the reservoir every day.
To hide the body...
that was in the water,
Sister Aso had been...
drowning the girls who went near it,
and disposing of their bodies in the river.
That is the rumor on campus.
But...
I feel like I 'm forgetting something.
This is yours.
You sure?
Yes. Please take it.
I got to meet Maya.
Even though we're apart,
I feel we're connected.
From now on, too.
Today is our graduation.
Please come hear us sing Ophelia's Song.
I'm sure it'll bring back many memories.
I'll pass.
I'm not actually an alumna of this school!
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.
He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.
Dazzling light in the summer night
A picture of a heavenly maiden in the evening
She glimmers as she floats on the water
And the one who survived
Stones cracked from the earth and my majesty walked...
It's true that I suffered.
Her spirit haunted me for a long time.
No...
Maybe it was just a vision.
A phantom my heart created.
Her image was stuck in my head...
Forever.
It just would not go away.
Not even after I became an adult.
I could never find love.
I just grew older,
and suffered for years and years.
Then one day...
Lift my curse.
That's when I thought,
I would lift her curse.
I just needed to give her a girl
she could take with her.
You two will be living here from now on.
Identical twins, I see.
Your names?
I'm Aya!
I'm Maya!
There is a reason why I took you in.
I will let one of you stay here,
well taken care of.
But...
The other one...
will die here.
It doesn't matter which one it is.
Will you decide yourselves?
Or should I?
M will... I'm older.
Maya!
Maya!
Aya!
I killed the girl.
Not Sister Aso and her brother.
Stones cracked from the earth and my majesty walked...
I'm glad I could hear it again this year.
Put me in a grave at night, under my
beloved moon, one above the water
With you, my dear, in the brook
I hope to see you
My own body is a broken stone
Lit up once and the cracks can be seen
Fallen in love with a flower on a lovely day
It's so beautiful, let me capture it
I never turned around
The importance of the chime at eight
A flower turned by the side of the sitting stone
A white lily upon the stone
Your weeping form
I will remember
Do you know about the curse
that only affects girls?
You have to kiss the photo of your love,
exactly at midnight, when it's
not today or tomorrow.
The one people say was put on Aya?
Who's Aya?
Who'd think Waka would become an idol, huh?
She actually faked it till she made it.
How about Risa?
She said she's going to a nailist school,
to fulfill Itsuki's dream in her place.
I see.
I've decided...
that I'll go to Tokyo.
I see.
Do your best!
And you?
I'm staying in this town.
To grow up here.
I've decided.
I see.
We'll be apart, then.
Hey!
I want to take your photo before I go.
Huh?
I've been trying to take one forever!
Can I?
Susumu, lend me that?
Sure.
Thanks.
Crouch down a bit.
Like this?
Is this their spirits?
Or is it...
My heartfelt wish?
You're not taking it?
Not today.
Why not?
I'll study in Tokyo,
become an adult,
and one day...
I'll come back with my camera,
to take a photo of you.
So...
wait for me.
I will.
This is how we grow to
become normal adults.
Our girlhood is over now.
But...
We 'II never forget.
At the time, we were...
under the curse that only affects girls.
I've always hated myself too much, (Yeah)
so I kept hurting myself.
I've always kept looking for that one
piece of my heart that was missing.
I 'd left it softly sunken down...
at the bottom of a lake,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
but now I want to hug tightly that
part of myself I tried to forget.
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't hate myself anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to take the first step forward
I'm not at all perfect, but...
one day I want to be able to love myself!
I looked up to you so much,
that I couldn't even come close to you.
Selfishly trying to force someone to live
up to my own ideals is not real love!
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't ask anything of you anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to start moving forward
I'm not perfect, but...
one day I want to be able to make myself smile!
Everyone wants to become someone else,
so we imitate them, and get things wrong.
That's how we find our originality.
There's something only I can do.
I have my good points, too!
We come to realize those kinds of things, eventually!
Gotta go now,
find myself now
Gotta go
Hey, hey, hey
Gotta go now, find myself now
I won 't hate myself anymore!
Gotta go now, it's time for me
to take the first step forward
I'm not at all perfect, but...
one day! want to be able to love myself!
Love ain't easy, yeah
