Oh, god, help me!
Somebody help! Help me!

Japan airlines
flight 3400
from Honolulu...

and cannot
accept any messages
at this time.

Good-bye.

Hello?

- Is this Sara price?
- I am with the yamanashi police.

The school where
your sister teaches,

they've filed
a missing persons report
with us.

Look, Jess
has done this before.
I'm sure she's okay.

The last time I talked to her
she sounded... off.

Hey. You know Jess.

Everything's great.
Then it's terrible.

No, it wasn't
just a bad mood.

Okay, look,
let's forget about dinner.

I'll take them
to a restaurant.
No.

It's your boss.
We're going to impress her.
I'll be fine. I promise.

Sara, it is nice
to finally meet you.

Baby, are you okay?

I don't understand.

If you know she went there,
why aren't you
already looking for her?

Your sister was last seen
in aokigahara forest.

I'm sorry to say this,
but it is a place where
some people commit suicide.

What?

She was seen leaving the path
to go into the forest alone.

When we see this,

it means the person
does not want to be found.

Miss? Are you there?

I'm here.

After 48 hours

we have to assume
a person has gone through
with their suicide plan.

No, she's alive.

What's going on?

I'm going to Japan.
The police
think Jess is dead.

What?

Apparently, they have
a forest in Japan where people
go to kill themselves

and Jess went into it.

Sounds like exactly
the kind of place your sister
would go hiking for fun.

Rob, she's my twin,

she's in trouble
and she needs me.

She always needs you.

She makes a bad decision
and you clean up her mess.

I don't know, rob.
It feels different this time.

It's your call.

Why don't you
just sleep on it, okay?

If she doesn't call you
by morning, reassess.

If you still want to go,
you can go. Okay?

Okay.
Okay.
All right.

I love you.
I love you too.

It's gonna be all right.
Everything's gonna be fine.

- You wouldn't happen to have
a dead one, would you?

Okay.

Stop--
stop messing around.
Smile.

Child's voice
Sara.

Child's voice
Sara.

On a longboat.
I went on a longboat.

I am going on a longboat.

I am going on a longboat.

I will go on a longboat.

I will go on a longboat.

He went to London.

He went to London.

He is going to London.

He is going to London.

She thought
you were miss Jess.

She's ashamed.
We're twins.

I am... sorry.

It's okay.

But why were you scared?

She knows your sister
went into aokigahara.

She thought
you were a yurei.
A ghost.

Aokigahara.
Th-the suicide forest?

In old times
it was a place for ubasute.

When there was
not enough food,

families would bring
elderly women,

the blind or sick
to the forest

and leave them
to die.

That's awful.
I don't understand.

Why would the school
take a class trip there?

Mount fuji is very beautiful
and important to history.

Aokigahara is simply
part of the mountain.

People say spirits
cannot rest there.

They come back.

Angry.

They come back angry.

- Hai.

Hai.

Can I see Jess's room
before I go?

Hai.

Normally
i would respect privacy,

but because
you're family...

Thank you.

Jess, do you have
the packing tape?

- Hey. Those could be
worth something.
- They're from the stone age.

Didn't grandma say
they were collectors items?

She also said rob was gay
'cause he parted his hair
to the right.

Point taken.

Be careful
with that jar.

- Why? She keep her stash in it?
- She kept grandpa in it.

You're terrible.

So, when was the last time
you saw grandma?

Six months ago.

I feel bad.

We just abandoned her,
went off to do
our own thing.

She understood.
We needed to start our lives.

I'm about to start mine
all over again.

I'm sure it'll be great, Jess.
I'm proud of you.

Tokyo isn't exactly
the next town over.

It'll be good for you.

Plus, it'll give me an excuse
to get on a plane
every once in a while.

You'd better.

- Konnichiwa.
- Hi.

I'm, uh--

I'm looking for my sister.

She came here
on a trip with her school
and disappeared.

- Have you seen her?
- Yes. We find.

You-- you found Jess?

Oh, my--
wh-where is she?

She here.
I take you.

Sakura.

I--

what is this?

Basement.

You come?

Keep the bodies here
when we find.

Keep them cold.
The bodies?

Someone stay with them
at all time.

If bodies alone,
the spirit scream all night.

Sorry.
Two second.

You wait.

It's not her.
No?

- It's not her.
- Good. Good news.

Is there someone who could
help me search the forest?

The forest
is very dangerous.
Do not leave the path.

Can get lost.
I understand.

-What if I want to hire a guide?
-No guide. Come back.

- Maybe more bodies.
- No.

She's lost.
She's not dead.

Do not leave the path.

Shit.

Hey.
It's mountain.

Lots of metal.
Cell phone do not work up here.

Do you know the forest?

Could you take me in?
I'd pay you.

The forest has yurei.
Everybody know that.

Yurei.

You mean ghosts?

Yurei.

Different from ghost.

The forest use them
to trick you.

Do you know why
"do not leave the path"?

Because
if you get lost

and you have sadness
in your heart,

they will use it
against you.

Yurei come find you

and make you see things

and make you want to die.

And you do it yourself.

Okay.

Thanks for that.

If the yurei
are looking for me,
I'll be at my hotel.

Thanks.

You look familiar.
Have we met?

Here?
Four days ago?

Uh, hey, sorry.

I don't know you.
I was just a line
to start a chat.

"Have you ever been to Greece?
Did you go to camp minnehaha
in the rocky mountains?"

That kind of thing.
Right.

I thought you might have
met my sister, Jess.

She came here...
And disappeared.

Do you know
about the forest?

Yeah.

Is that a possibility
with your sister?

We're identical twins.
If she were dead,
i would just know.

What do you think
she's up to then,
if she's out there?

I think she's struggling
with her demons.

Yeah, it happens.

Some people go in.
They do sort of a walkabout,
think it over.

Sometimes
they come back out again.

I'm Aiden, by the way.

Oh. Sara.

Sara.
Pleasure to meet you.

You too.

That's her,
a couple of years ago.

- Same, right?
- Identical.

Uh--

- sisters.

No.
No, he's never seen her.

Are you fluent?

Yeah. I live in Tokyo.
I write for a travel magazine
out of Australia.

- So, did you?
- Huh?

Go to camp minnehaha
in the rocky mountains?

No.

No, I was lucky.
I-- I went to space camp.

Oh, space camp.
Yeah.
Lots of fun.

- All alone?
- Yeah.

What?
No.

What?
No, you'll get lost.

Trust me.

Trust me. You will.
I've been in the forest
a hundred times.

I don't go in alone.
I can't let you do that.

Well, good thing I don't
need your permission,
guy I just met.

I have clearance to go
with the park nature guard
tomorrow for my article.

He goes on rounds
every few days,
kinda like a suicide watch.

He knows the park
better than anyone.
I could ask if you could come.

- That would be great.
- One thing though. A favor,
if you wouldn't mind.

Yeah?

Your search for your sister,
it's gripping, it's human.

- I mean, it's an article.
- Oh.

I'd like your permission
to write about it.
Right.

Will I be a celebrity
in Australia?

Do you want to be
a celebrity in Australia?
Nope.

Are you sure?
You might like it.
You never know.

Is it all right
if I record you for the story?
For my own notes, for accuracy?

- Uh-huh.
- You have to say "yes"
out loud.

"Yes out loud."

Thank you.

So you and Jess were
raised by your grandmother.

And you believe she's okay
because you have this kind
of mystical twin connection.

It's not mystical.

It's just when something
happens to one of us,
the other one can tell.

I mean, usually it's something
happening to her and me
coming to bail her out, but...

Yeah. I've got
a little brother myself.

He's a good kid.
Just, he can't seem to
stay out of trouble.

Jess is the same.
She never learns.

When we were little,
no one could tell us apart.

It was like we were
the same person.

Do you mind if I ask
what happened to your parents?

No, it's totally fine.

It was a car accident.
We were six.

They had gone to a movie.
Grandma was over.
She was watching us.

What is wrong with you?

- Put that down.
- You're scaring me!

They were supposed to
be back any minute.
We heard this crash outside.

Grandma rushed outside.
We followed her.

It was a drunk driver.

He'd been doing 60
in a residential neighborhood.

Hit them
right as they turned
into the driveway.

Jess was in front of me.
She saw it first.

Jess told me later their bodies
were right there on the lawn.

Close your eyes!

Don't look!
Don't look!

I kept my eyes closed,
but she saw it all.

Jesus.

- Did they ever catch the guy?
- What guy?

The--
the drunk driver?
Oh, no. No.

Hey. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
dredge all that stuff up.

Oh, it's fine.
Long time ago.

Mmm.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Hi. This is rob.
Sorry I can't
get to the phone.

Please leave a message.

Fine.

- Sorry.

She's elderly.

Hey, babe.
I got your message.

It's nice to
finally hear your voice.
I miss you.

But you going
into this forest alone,
it sounds really dangerous.

If I don't
hear back from you soon,
I am hopping on a plane.

So just come home.
Please.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Michi, this is Sara.

Hello.
Thanks for this.

Michi does
these suicide watch hikes
off the books.

That's very good
of you.

What?

You must understand,

after this long

most people who go
into the forest to die
are already dead.

She's not dead.

Do you have family?

I have children.
Okay.

If this was your child,

if you knew
she was lost and in pain,

you'd do anything to help,
wouldn't you?

I can't prove to you
that I'm right.

All I can do
is ask you to understand
where I'm coming from.

- I still think
you should not go.
- Why?

Because you're sad.

Okay?
Let's go.

Jukai means
"sea of trees."

If you look down
from mount fuji,

the forest
looks like an ocean.

There's ice caves
beneath the forest.

There's whole sections
that have never
been explored.

Some people believe
it's a gateway
to the other side.

Sara!

Take a look at this.

Okay, that's weird.
Why is that happening?

Iron deposits
in the mountain.
It's crazy, huh?

Yeah.
Look.

People sometimes
see things in the forest.

Important to remember.

If you see anything bad,
anything strange,

it is not real.

Okay?
It's not there.

It's here.

Watch out.
I got it.

Let's head this way.

What's that?

If you bring a tent,
you're not sure.

Stay here.

What will you do if we don't
find your sister today?

Try again tomorrow.

What if we don't
find her tomorrow?

How does it feel
to be in the forest
where she disappeared?

It feels...

Necessary.

Jess ever tried
suicide before?

She was living in Florida
a few years ago

and one night she wasn't
picking up the phone.

I just knew
something was wrong.

I got 911 to check on her.

They found her unconscious.
She'd taken some sleeping pills.

That was the second time.
First time was back in college.

Pills then too?
Mm-hmm.

I mean, knowing Jess,
she probably just thought
it was romantic,

following in the footsteps
of her favorite poet.

"Not one would mind,
neither bird nor tree,

if mankind perished utterly.

And spring herself..."

"When she woke at dawn,
would scarcely know
that we were gone."

Now, what's a guy like you
memorize Sara teasdale for?

Meet a lot of girls
on their junior year abroad?

Whatever works.

Hey, michi,
what happened?

He will be okay,
i think.

Let's go.

What's that?

People use tape or rope
like this

if they think
they might want to find
their way back out.

Or they hope somebody
will follow the rope

to remove their body
from the forest one day.

This one looks recent.

- Doesn't look like anyone's here.
- Maybe they changed their mind.

I must cut him down.

- I'll make a note
of where he is.
Why?

So the rangers
can retrieve the body.

Michi.

Take a break.

Help me.

Can we go this way?

I mean, if we're
just picking a direction.

Come.

Jess!

Jess!

We must turn back soon.

What, already?

We're several hours
from the trail.

We do not stay
in the forest
after dark.

In the day,
easy to get lost.

At night, you're blind
and temperature drops quickly.

Jess!

Do you see something?

Oh, my god,
that's her tent.

Jess! Jess!

I knew it! Jess!

It's her!
It is! It's her!
Oh, my god.

Michi, you said
if they bring a tent,
it means they're not sure.

Oh, my god, she's close.
She's so close.

Jess!
Jess!
Jess!

Jess!

Jess? Hello!

Hello?

Since she's not here,
we'll come back
tomorrow morning.

We must go now.
We've got to stay.

We must go now.
You can leave a note for her.

Leave a note? Are you crazy?
I'm staying. I'm staying
till she comes back.

Aiden, tell him.

No, he's right.

- We can come back tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

No, tomorrow
is gonna be too late.

She left the tent.
She's gonna come back to sleep.
Her clothes are on the line.

Sleeping here
is foolish.

We'll not stop
looking for Jess--
in the daytime.

Now we must go.

I understand.

You two go. Go.

It's all right.
I understand. You go.

You cannot stay!

At night in the jukai,
people see bad things.

Sometimes do bad things.
Very bad things.

The forest
draws out your fear,
your sadness.

You believe in yurei, michi?
You sound like the girl
from the visitor center.

I came 6,000 miles
to find my sister.

She's here in these woods.
I'm not leaving without her.

Thanks for your help.

I'm so grateful.
Really.

But I'm staying.

Sara, you're making
a big mistake.

What are you doing?
I'm gonna
stay here with you.

- Don't be foolish, Aiden.
- It's fine.

We'll stay here.
We'll stay the night.
We'll watch after each other.

Hey.

We'll be fine.
I'll come back
tomorrow.

Do not move from here.
Okay?

You don't have to do this.
It's my sister, not yours.

Yeah, well,
if it was my brother,
I'd stick around too.

Thanks.

I changed my mind.
Let's come back in the morning.

Yeah.
Very funny.

Here. Give me a hand
with this fire.

No, not like that.
Here. Like this.

Like you're the expert.
You went to space camp.

I know you're not supposed
to pile it up like that.
You gotta let it breathe.

Okay. You mean up,
like this?

Yeah.
There you go.
Okay.

I salute
your caveman skills.

- Want one?
- What's this?

A power bar.
Japanese version.

They're pretty good.

It's not bad.

You take the tent
when you get tired.

I'll stay out here
by the fire.

Avoid any awkwardness.

A caveman
and a gentleman.

What's that?
I don't know.

But I promise you
they have centipedes
in Australia

more dangerous
than anything out here.

Jess must be lost.

She's close.

And alive.

Explain that to me.

It's like a sound.

It's too low to hear,
but I can just...

Feel it...

Running through me.

And that night
i was telling you about,
when she almost died,

the sound dropped away.

Where Jess had been,

there was just...

Silence.

You know, when we were kids,
my brother would start fights.

And I never stepped in.

Figured he needed
to learn not to start them
in the first place.

One day
he got beat up so bad

that it left him deaf
in his left ear.

And I remember seeing him,
and that feeling-- just guilt.

So now whenever
he's in trouble,
i come running.

- I feel guilty too.
- What do you mean?

My parents' bodies.

I closed my eyes,
but she looked.

It's always been
the difference
between us.

She looks at the dark stuff
and I turn away.

What she saw,

she carried that
all by herself.

I should have
shared it with her.

That's why
i come running.

I'm going to try
and get some sleep.

Yeah.

Aiden?

Aiden, say something.

Hello?

Jess, is that you?

Hey, wait.

Wait.

Please!

Hi.

Do you speak English?

Little.

Hoshiko.

Hoshiko, are you alone?

You're cold.
Let me help you.

You Sara?

Yeah. How do you
know my name?

No trust him.

Who?

Miss Jess know him.

Jess?
Is Jess your teacher?

I find her here.

She say, "need your help."

- Where is she?
- No trust him.

Sara!

No, no, no, no! Wait!

Goddamn it.

I lost her.
I lost her.

Jesus.
Look at your hand.
Oh, god.

Who?
Who'd you lose?
Jess?

No, it was--

it was a teenage girl.
She said--

she said what?

Something in Japanese.

Oh, man.

Well, we're
not gonna find her

if she doesn't
wanna be found.

We'll tell michi.

Okay, let's get back
before we get turned around.
Come on.

Come on.

All right, kiddo.
There's enough light
for us now.

Let's get you
out of here.

- But michi said noon.
- Seven hours from now?

No. Look at your hand.
You need stitches.

Let me worry
about my hand.

Jess might
still come back.

Sara.

You just saw a child
out in the woods presumably
contemplating suicide,

considering that
she ran from you.

We tell them that,
they'll send
a search party quick.

Maybe that search party
finds your sister.
Make sense?

In the meantime,

in case your sister
does come back
while we're gone,

you do what you
should've done yesterday.

Leave a note.

This is the way we came.

We keep walking
in this direction,

we'll come to the path
before too long.

We didn't pass
the river coming in.
Yeah, I know.

But at least
we can follow it down.

It may take
a little longer,

but it'll lead us
back to civilization
just the same.

Sara. Hey.
Careful. Hey.

Hey, get back
from there. Come on.

- Do you see that?
- Jesus.

Hey, come on.

Get away from there.
Come on.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

We were walking that way.

No, we weren't.
Yes, we were.

Two minutes ago,
we were walking that way,

and now you're leading me
back the way we came.

No. Sara, we're following
the river down. Remember?

We're not climbing
the mountain.

Down.

Water flows down.

See?

My parents' bodies.

I closed my eyes,
but she looked.

Hello!
That's always been
the difference between us.

Oh, shit.
She looks at the dark stuff
and I turn away.

- What she saw--
- you recorded that?

You gave me permission,
the other day.

- That's why you questioned me
so much last night.
- Yeah, I'm doing a story.

That's why you
stayed at the campsite--
for your story.

In part.

Also because I was concerned
about you... and your sister,

and I liked you.

- Do you even have
a brother?
- Of course I do.

What's his name?

Mikey.

- Which ear is he deaf in?
- His-- his--

okay, yes,
i wanted to get closer
to you for the story.

Yes, but also mainly
to get closer to a pretty girl
in the bar.

Who are you?
Everything else
i told you is true.

- When did you meet Jess?
- I've never met her.

- Yes, you did.
- Why do you keep saying that?
It was just a line in a bar.

Give me your phone.
Why?

- Why not?
- Because it's my phone.

You're hiding something?

You're getting just
a little too agitated.
It's making me uncomfortable.

I'm lost in the woods
with a strange man
who's been lying to me,

and I do not give a shit
if it makes you
feel uncomfortable.

Now, give me your phone!
All right, calm down.

I'll give you
the phone.

- Don't mess
with it first.
- I'm unlocking it!

- What are you doing?
- I'm deleting
all the recordings.

If you even
are a journalist,
then permission is revoked.

You cannot use my story.

How do you--

how do you what?

Oh, my god.

What?

You met me on purpose,
didn't you?

I don't know what you think...

Or what you're talking about.

What did you do to her?
Who, Jess?

- Yeah.
- I've never met her.

There are photos
right here
on this phone.

Give me the phone.
Stay back.

- Give me the damn phone!
- No!

Give me it!

Sara!

Hey, you're
gonna get lost!

Come back!

Sara!

No.

Sara!

Aiden?

Sara!

Turn around, Sara.

No.

No.

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

You're not real!

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

Michi?
Rob. Hey.

We'll find her.
Don't worry.

Sara.

It's me, hoshiko.

- What are you
doing down here?
- Come.

Come where?
You come.

Miss Jess want to see you.

Jess?

I take you.
Down here?

What's making that noise?

Animal.
That doesn't sound
like an animal.

Why is Jess down here?

Tell me!

Help!

Can you hear me?

Help!

Help!

- Sara?
- Aiden?

Sara.
Aiden!

You gotta get me
out of here.
Hold on.

I'm gonna find something
to throw down for you.

Aiden, don't leave me,
please! No!

No.

No.

If you see something bad,
it's not real.
It's just in your head.

If you see something bad,
it's not real.
It's in your head.

If you see something bad,
it's not real.
It's in your head.

It's in your head.

It's in your head.

It's in your head.

No.

No!

- Sara!
- Aiden.

Sara, hang on.

Aiden, get me out of here.

Okay.
All right, grab that.

I gotcha.

Okay.

Pull.

Hey.

Sara, you okay?

Michi was right.

The forest
does make you see things.

Look.

I found a place.

It might have a radio.
It's a ranger station.
It's not that far.

You just stumbled across it
right now?

Here.

Take the knife.

Why am I taking the knife?

So you
trust me more.

We're in this together,
right?

Right.

Just let me
wash off first.

Sara.

- You all right?

I'm fine!

Well, if there's no radio,
at least we got
a place to sleep.

Hello?

Come on, baby.
Come on. Work.

Hey, Sara,
give me the knife.

What?

The knife--
let me have it.

- Why?
- So I can open this thing up.

Or I can smash it
on the damn table!
Just give me the knife!

Why do you think
they locked the basement?

What makes you think
it's a basement?

What else would it be?

I don't know.
A closet?

- Sara?
- Jess?

Jess?
Shh.

Oh!

Okay.

Okay.
God,
please be real.

Hey, do you
wanna chow down before
it gets too dark to see?

Huh?

Sara, what are you doing?

Here, it's the last one.
You can have it.

Come on. Take it.

I don't know if the forest
made you a psycho

or if you
were crazy anyways.

But if you
don't let my sister
out of that basement,

I will kill you.

Sara.

Wake up.

Your sister is dead.

- She's been in here
for five days.
- Give me the key.

Okay.
All right. All right.

I'll let her out, okay?
Just let me get the key.

Where is it?
