The Locker (Shibuya Kaidan)

Anyway...

this old woman is hunched over on the other side of the street.

I thought it was kind of weird.

I called out, “Are you all right?” But she didn't answer.

I thought she couldn't hear me. When I went over to talk to her...

she turned around and...

“You're next!”

That's what she said.

That was supposed to be scary.

Ah, I see.

What? Didn't work at all?

Well, not quite. Sorry.

Stalkers are scarier than ghosts, aren't they?

Hey, aren't you a stalker?

Oops! You're right. I forgot.

But I did get scared...quite a bit.

There goes her “Coy Beam!”

I got scared, too.

I don't care about you.

- You suck! - Just kidding.

You're unfazed and ready to take on anything, Yuna.

Really? Would you like to give it a try?

Oh, no! We need some mosaic here!

Well, then, we'll get together in bed sometime soon.

I'm gonna go get some beer. Who wants some?

Yeah!

Hey, hey. I heard a weird voice by the river just now.

What? A weird voice?

It sounded like a baby crying.

It kind of adds to the ambiance, doesn't it?

Now, who got her pregnant?

I did, Kei-Chan!

Come on! I'm serious!

You're pulling our leg.

But look over there.

I've heard that guardian statue is there to pray for aborted fetuses.

Ah!

I can hear it again.

Serious?

Can't you hear it?

A baby crying?

What...?! Where?

Mommy!

Hey!

You peed in your pants, didn't you?

Mission accomplished.

I borrowed it 'cause it was on the ground nearby.

Don't do things like that.

I never dreamed that Rieka would pitch in.

What? You guys were in it together?!

No, we're not!

We were gonna use some aborted fetus stuff to trick you...

but she freaked us out when she said she heard a baby cry. Right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I really heard it.

Then what about now?

I can't.

What the heck is that?

Rieka has always been the one who says strange stuff.

Didn't you guys go to the same high school?

Yeah. I know who her boyfriend was back then.

Come on!

Rieka is very prudish.

She's adamant about it.

She only goes outwith guys she's serious about.

But that's how it's supposed to be.

Right.

Oh, really? I had no idea!

I take an oath!

I, Keitaro Takahara, a strictly traditional Japanese man...

wish to have illicit sexual relations with as many chicks as I can get!

That sucks! I'm totally against it!

May I, Your Honor?

Who's the presiding judge?

Yes, Miss Yuna Matsukawa.

I think guys are all dirty perverts, but super-cute anyway!

- Great! - Awesome!

Now that things are warming up...

As soon as you say that, it gets deflated.

Time to bring a ghost story to an end.

Yeah. Now let's get started with Love Counseling with Kei-Chan!

Come on, Akihiko. Get down to it!

Lucky, baby!

Welcome to my night class in health and physical education!

Let's have some beer first, then.

I'm so exhausted.

- You all right? - I'm fine.

Come on. Hurry up.

You're so slow.

I'm so tired.

You stored your stuff in a place like this?

Right. It's easy to park the car close by and it's off the beaten path.

What kind of stuff?

Textbooks and stuff.

Textbooks, huh?

We left on the trip right after school. I didn't want to lug heavy books.

You should've ditched school.

Unlike you, Keitaro, we are conscientious college students.

She's pretty harsh.

Hey, by the way, did you know...

that if you confess love in front of a coin-operated locker in Shibuya...

everything turns out well for sure!

I’ve heard that, too!

You're supposed to put a gift in it, right?

Yeah, that's right!

Could this be one?

Wow, I see something like a gift in there.

- Come on! - You've gotta be kidding!

You idiot! How can it be true?

There's nothing in there!

Over here, Yuna!

Wait. Let me see.

- Hey, I don't like that. - Look at this funny face!

Come on. Take another one!

Look at this.

Doesn't it make you want to cry?

- Let's get everyone in. - Yeah.

OK, line up.

- Ready? - Sure.

Say cheese.

- Yuna, are you sure? - What?

You didn't want Keitaro to take you home?

We saw you.

After we went to bed...

you and Keitaro sneaked out and got together.

You knew?

Who wasn't up for the trip...

claiming, "Co-ed camps are for high school kids"?

You seemed to be having a lot of fun with Akihiko, too.

Nothing happened between us!

Now you mention it, wasn't there something going on with Ryohei?

Hey, there's some dirt on your purse.

What? You're right.

Mine, too.

Unbelievable. Who used it last?

Hey, Kei, aren't you meeting up with Yuna later on?

Serious?

We're not. We're not. We are not!

If you deny it three times, you're admitting it, you idiot!

You're so bad!

So, what about you?

- Huh? - How did it go?

M-Me? Nothing happened.

It's true.

Ai and Rieka say they don't have boyfriends.

You might get lucky.

You'd better thank me.

It's all because I found Ai on a dating website.

H-hey, wait a minute.

I don't get it. What do you mean?

Now, let's try this one.

- Translate it. - Ugh!

No ughs! Get to it.

You do it for me.

That wouldn't help YOU! Just do it.

Don't you need to get that?

Sorry to bother you.

Was it your boyfriend?

No. He's just a friend.

Translate.

What's wrong?

Teacher...

What's the point of studying this hard?

We all die someday.

You can only study hard now.

It's better to get in a good high school and good college--

That's what my dad says.

Teacher, do you have a boyfriend?

Don't get distracted. Translate!

But I've just gotta know. I can't focus!

If I tell you, will you concentrate?

Yes.

I'll tell you the truth.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Really? Since when?

I'd say about a year.

Don't college girls go to parties to find guys...

and swap them every so often?

That's just absurd.

Then, anyone you have a crush on?

I have some friends, but... I don't know.

Now, you promised. Translate this.

Yes, ma'am.

Teacher?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Really, nothing.

Hello.

I'm sorry about earlier. I was in the middle of working.

What? Ah, I'm tutoring a middle school student.

Yes.

The camping trip the other day was so much fun.

The head of that statue really freaked me out, though.

Right. Sure, of course.

With the same group of people.

Sure, let's get together in Shibuya next time.

OK. Then, I'll let Yuna and Ai know, too.

'Kay. Talk to you later.

Ai FUKAMI

No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the beep.

I wonder what's wrong with Ai.

Why?

I've called her several times on her cell and at home.

What about school?

Well, she hasn't shown up for the club meetings for three days.

Hey, Kana. Kana...Kana.

Her classmates told me that she looked worn out...

and was acting strange lately.

I haven't been able to reach Ai.

- Know anything? - No.

I spoke with Yuna about it, too.

I hope she didn't get involved in a weird case or something.

We can't reach Akihiko, either.

He's not in his apartment.

I called his parents' house, but he's not back there, either.

Ai?

Ai, you're not home?

Ai.

Ai, aren't you home?

If you're here, answer me!

A baby?

Akihiko?

What's the matter?

This is not an interrogation, so please relax.

Since you were the first to find them...

we need to verify a few things with you.

Akihiko Yanagi. Death by shock.

Do you have any ideas?

What do you mean by "ideas"?

For example, something like drugs.

Drugs?

He and his girlfriend, Miss Ai Fukami...

who is currently missing...

have you seen them doing drugs?

I have no idea.

Are you sure?

At least, Ai hasn't done anything like that.

What about him?

I really don't know much about Mr. Yanagi.

Young people have shallow friendships.

As shallow as a pie plate.

They met through an online dating service to begin with.

For the sake of your missing friend...

could you tell us more?

Shibuya Police Station

Did you know about Akihiko and Ai?

No.

They were meeting without us knowing.

Excuse me.

Well, you know what?

Ai “gets along” with anyone, right?

Did you request the search for her?

Her family put it in, I think.

I'm sure she'll be found.

Right?

Come on. Let's stop being so down.

What did the police say?

It sounds like they suspect they were doing drugs.

But there's no way Ai and drugs go together.

She doesn't even drink or smoke.

It just doesn't make sense.

I agree.

Akihiko wouldn't do drugs, either. Right?

Ai...

Teacher, do you know “the spell of two mirrors facing each other"?

When you hold two mirrors against each other exactly at midnight...

you're supposed to see your future spouse.

Sort of.

Have you ever tried it?

Not really.

I don't really believe in spells or fortune-telling like that.

Me, neither.

They're kind of fishy.

I bet you anything that a spell to get a boyfriend...

was invented by a loser.

With deep grudges, you know.

That kind of thing is a trap. Just like one of those chain letters.

That's an interesting perspective.

The two-mirror spell actually lets the demons out.

All right. Did you finish the problem?

Teacher.

The clock.

You went over 5 minutes.

Come on!

What is it?

Then, what about the locker in Shibuya that brings one luck?

I know about it.

If you confess love in front of it, everything works out.

How can anyone believe something like that?

It's so stupid.

I'm surprised.

I thought girls your age would really be into that kind of stuff.

My classmates are like that, but...

I think it's too childish.

I don't get along with them much.

Is that so?

I'm...

to be honest with you...

kind of ostracized in my class.

You think so?

Yes.

I know full well that...

I'm the one who's causing them to avoid me.

I understand what you're going through.

I was kind of like that when I was your age.

Really?

I'm so relieved.

Oh, please don't tell this to my dad.

I tell him everything's just fine with me at school.

You're the only one I've told, Teacher.

Yes, I know.

I'd like to meet your dad soon.

I’ve only talked to him on the phone.

Don't worry.

He says he's away on business, but he's with a woman.

Anyway, please make sure you don't tell my dad...

what I told you earlier, OK?

I understand.

Then, pinkie promise?

I thought you didn't believe in stuff like that.

This is an exception.

Teacher...

can I talk to you about stuff like that some other time?

Sure.

Don't brood over it too much.

It's not like they know for sure she was in an accident or something.

That's true.

You know what? She might just show up out of the blue.

Anyway, I can't believe they were already in that kind of relationship.

But, in a way, it doesn't surprise me. We're talking about Ai, you know.

She looks shy at first glance, but she's the possessive type.

Anyway, let's not think about it just for now.

Ah, hey! Do you have time? Could you go shopping with me?

That's what you wanted all along, right?

You should go on a shopping spree, too.

It'll make you feel better.

You might be right.

- Go ahead. - No, after you.

- It's OK. - Go ahead.

Hey, what do you think about Ryohei?

I really don't have an opinion.

I think you're too frigid.

As far as I know, you've already dumped three men.

How many guys in all have you brought to tears so far?

Rieka, did I make you mad?

Rieka?

Come on, Rieka!

Just kidding! Did I scare you?

What's that for? Unbelievable! You've been so down, I was worried!

Yuna, I'm happy for you that things are going well with Keitaro.

Kinda well. I haven't heard from him lately.

I wonder if he's teasing me. Hurry up and push me away.

Good interpretation.

In your case, the problem is how long it will last.

The longest record was half a year.

Think you'll break the record this time?

Hey, Yuna, are you mad?

Yuna.

You're playing that trick again?!

A picture? I didn't send it.

You liar! Who else did it, then?

Hello, Rieka?

I really don't know. Hello?

Hello?

Rieka?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Yuna...

Yuna...

I received this last night.

I didn't do it, I swear.

I thought he was playing a trick at first.

I went to see a doctor.

Doctor?

Sometimes I have a poor memory.

I can't remember what I've just done.

What's the cause?

The doctor has no idea.

On top of that...

a baby's cry...

What?!

Rieka, you said you could hear a baby crying, too.

Can you still hear it?

Sometimes.

I've tried to dismiss it as a ringing in my ears.

I've been hearing the crying lately.

A baby crying-

To tell the truth...

I've been hearing it, too, lately.

I wonder if we'll end up like Akihiko.

Do you think we're cursed?

Don't even--

Because it's all of us!

All of us who went camping the other day!

It's irrelevant.

Could it be the ghost of an aborted fetus?

You shut up!

What's the matter?

That statue...

I'm the one who broke the head off that guardian statue.

What?!

I meant no harm.

I just wanted to make the party a little more exciting.

That's not good.

Ryohei. Ryohei. What am I gonna do?!

What'll I do?

You'll be fine.

Help me. What's gonna happen to me?

I found it!

- You found it? - Yeah, over here.

Thank you for the feast!

- That was delicious. - It sure was.

It's been so long since I ate so much.

A puff to celebrate our victory over the curse of the guardian statue!

- At least we did what we could. - Yes.

Now I feel much better.

You're pushing your luck.

My lower part, too.

You idiot!

Anyway, I'm happy for you, Keitaro.

Yep.

That was good.

- Hey. - What are you doing?

Come on.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hey, Keitaro, what are you doing?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Hey.

Come on.

What are you doing?

- What's the matter? - Hey! Hey!

Answer me!

Come on! Stop it!

What are you doing?

How can I stop it? Keitaro!

What are you doing? Hey!

Hey, What's going on?

Hey! Hey!

Keitaro...

Keitaro!

Keitaro!

Why? What's going on? Keitaro!

Hey, you.

Hey, you. Are you drunk?

Are you all right?

You can't be alone. Come on. I'll take you with me.

Do you want to go rest?

Where are we going?

Hey, you...

there's a hotel over there.

Are you listening?

Whoa! Watch out. Are you OK?

What are you doing?

Do you have a change of clothes in there?

What is it?

It's true. They found Ai.

This case of Ai Fukami is drug-related, too, isn't it?

I have no details. The cause is still unknown.

I haven't received the autopsy results yet.

I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Where's Ai?

Listen, Ai! Pull yourself together, Ai!

Can you hear me, Ai?

- Ai! Can you hear me? - If I can ask you to leave for now...

What happened, Ai?!

Rieka.

What's this all about? What's going on?

I'm her doctor, Dr. Kakezawa.

This is my assistant, Ms. Muramatsu.

I'm Ai's friend, Rieka Yashima.

I'm sorry for my outburst earlier.

No problem.

He gave me a thumbnail sketch of the situation.

Also, Keitaro Takahara also told me some of it.

I was seeing him as an outpatient.

It was very unfortunate.

Doctor, will Ai recover?

Honestly speaking...

I won't know until we know the exact cause.

We had a similar case recently...

but he passed away this morning.

I don't understand! Are we really cursed?

Drugs? Virus? What the hell is going on?!

We're next!

Calm down.

Aren't you scared?

I am scared.

You don't look like it.

In reality, I feel like running off somewhere.

The fact that Keitaro and the others died...

doesn't feel real to me.

I don't know what to do!

I'm just scared.

I don't even feel sad.

I wonder...

if we were true friends.

Let me do this just a little while.

Here's some tea for you.

Oh, thanks. Thank you.

I have absolutely no idea.

About what?

The patient from the other day and the new one.

They were supposedly totally fine until a few days ago.

Ai Fukami?

I've never heard of a case like this.

Teacher?

Teacher?

I don't understand this one.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

Of course.

Teacher...

I'm sorry. It's nothing.

Teacher?

Tell me.

I told you my secret the other day.

I want you to talk to me, too.

My friends...

died.

Sorry.

It must be nice to have someone who'd cry for you.

In my case...

if I died, no one would probably cry for me.

I...

I lost my mother to an illness right after I was born.

That's why my dad resents me.

He thinks I caused her to die.

That's why he doesn't come home.

Don't talk like that.

There is no baby who is born unwanted.

Teacher...

would you cry for me if I died?

Ayano, I'll get mad if you keep saying such stupid things!

"There is no baby who is born unwanted."

It's great. I should make it my personal motto.

I'm glad.

You showed me a smile for the first time today.

Look! Ai seems to feel well enough to get out of bed.

Yeah.

You shouldn't run.

Ai, you feeling better?

I'll go get someone.

Ai...

Ai?

Ai...

Ai!

Ai! Ai! Ai!

Why?! Ai!

Ai! Ai!

Call the emergency team! Get those two out of here!

- Hurry! - Yes, sir!

Come to Ai Fukami's room immediately! Hurry!

That's...

It's a key...

for a coin-operated locker.

Coin-operated locker?

Ai was holding it.

Why on earth do you have that?

What was that?

What the hell is going on?

Why do you think Ai had this locker key?

- How would I know? - Just think!

Could it be?

A coin-operated locker?

What are you saying?

Now it makes sense.

A coin-operated locker?

The one in Shibuya, remember?

On the way back from the camping trip.

Yeah.

We all got involved in weird things...

ever since we used that locker.

Then what was that thing we saw?

I...

I saw the same baby before.

I wouldn't call that a baby. That was a girl.

She was much smaller before!

In the locker...

a discarded...

baby.

I know we all heard the baby crying.

I know it! It's the baby who was dumped in the locker!

How could it be?

What do I do? What should we do?

Let's go check it out.

What?

We'll go to the locker and see for ourselves.

Give me the key.

What was that?

What are you gonna do?

Stand back!

What the hell is that?!

Ryohei!

Ryohei!

Ryohei!

Ryohei!

No...

Why?

Why are you killing everyone?

Is it because you hate your mother?

Is it because you hate your mother who dumped you?

There is no baby who is born unwanted.

It's true.

Poor thing.

Did you know that your wish comes true...

if you use that locker in Shibuya?

What? Are you kidding?

I heard that your love will be rewarded...

if you confess in front of that locker.

But I heard that a dead baby was found in that locker before.

- Serious? - That's bad.

It's totally bad.
