Original subtitles

Ju-On is the curse left by a person who died with a deep grudge.

It gathers in the place where that person lived and becomes its "karma."

Anybody who comes in contact with the curse will die...

...and a new curse is born.

Hey...

Are you sure you don't want me to take you all the way to the school?

Yeah, an elementary schooler taking the taxi to school is antipathetic.

[SCOFFS]

What's so bad about a father taking his daughter to school?

Oh, I have cram school today, so don't wait up for dinner.

You—

Cram school? Just skip it, c'mon!

What are you talking about?

It's Christmas Eve!

It'd be bad to keep Santa waiting.

Santa doesn't exist.

He does.

Right here.

They said they have something to ask you.

What's that?

I'm not really sure, but...

they were saying something about a customer you had this morning.

[SCHOOL NOISES IN BACKGROUND]

It's not moving!

You can't take your finger off of it!

Hey.

Do you really have that kind of ability?

"That kind of ability"?

Since you were a kid, you could see and hear all sorts of things...

You could do that, right?

Ah...

Aww, what a shame!

Anyway, I don't think we're doing it right.

You're the one that said celebrities would work!

Yeah, but Matsujun's a stretch, right, it's a stretch?

Right?

Then...

...maybe someone like Okada-kun?

Like I said, it can't be a living person. It has to be someone dead.

Someone dead.

Oh...

What about your dad, Kashiwagi-san?

Huh?

Nayumi...

He died, right?

No, he's just missing...

Right?

Oh, okay.

Sorry...

It was seven years ago, anyway...

Never mind, I guess.

It's all thanks to this.

Ah!

Sorry it doesn't have the clip.

It's okay until after you get better.

Okay!

So... it worked, right?

It worked!

Now I see why you called it a protective charm!

Grandma...

That's Uncle Atsushi's, isn't it?

You're gonna get in trouble again.

Thank you for having me.

Sorry about that.

No problem!

Yasukawa-san...

[KAWABATA] The Nishiogi family massacre?

It'll be seven years ago now...

What does that tape have to do with it?

That case's culprit committed suicide.

After he killed the family, he hanged himself.

That guy...

He'd recorded his moment of death on a cassette tape.

[LIGHTLY SMACKS LIPS]

So...

One of the investigators at the time...

Their name's Makabe...

This Makabe person was working overtime...

...and they ended up transcribing the tape alone.

However...

...the next day, when we went to check up...

...only the tape was there; Makabe was gone.

No matter how many times we called their house...

...they never picked up.

We didn't have much choice...

...but just visit Makabe's house to see if they were okay.

Turns out Makabe was dead.

Huh?

Hanging in the bathroom...

Are you saying it's because they listened to the tape?

What was recorded on that tape?

Yasukawa-san...

[SLURPS DRINK]

A voice.

A voice, as in...

... from before...?

No, it was a different voice.

A child's voice.

Where are you going?

[SIGHS] I'm going to go burn this.

You don't have to go that far...

I've thrown it away.

Huh?

Seven years ago, this tape...

I threw this tape away.

I took it kilometers away, even up into the mountains...

Being here shouldn't be...

Don't get involved, alright?

Don't ever get involved.
