Come in.
Before you say anything,
let me say that I have no intention to talk about my case.
The trial is still ongoing, and I'm undergoing psychological testing.
When you asked for me to come because of my book,
I was surprised.
I recorded the paranormal specials you've appeared in.
I listen to them on my car's stereo.
Your car's stereo?
I listen to them while driving.
I see.
Did you get any messages from your readers about that house?
A few, but none of them were helpful.
That figures. Occult fans can't really come up with ideas.
Actual criminals like me need to help out.
Is there a case that you have in mind?
Before that, may I ask you something?
Yes?
Why are you gathering these stories?
I get asked that a lot.
Right?
I can't explain it well.
Oh.
Besides me, everyone in my family is dead.
An accident?
My mother died right after she had me.
My father died when I was a child.
Some relatives took me in.
I had a sister three years older than me, but we were separated and she later died.
That doesn't answer your question, does it?
I don't know what your answer should be.
Why are you curious about that?
Isn't that the standard?
The standard?
The standard for your choice of stories.
I always used to drive around the suburbs of Tokyo.
I would sometimes recognize houses.
Let me just say that I cannot see ghosts.
If I find some interesting cases in old newspapers,
I would go and check out the site.
-Old newspapers? -Right. I like doing that.
Reading old newspapers at the library.
Something about it is exciting. And I eventually noticed
that the same house kept appearing.
No one noticed, but it was the same house when I visited it.
Where is this house?
I don't remember the address.
It was
a case where a woman was trapped, made pregnant, and then had the baby.
The woman was found dead, but the baby had disappeared.
It was a really old case, but when I looked, it was still there.
I took care of that before this.
Really?
That's amazing, Nobu.
That's what it means to become an ideal couple.
Our baby is going to be born soon.
We need to take care of everything before he's born.
That's right.
There's some on you.
Do you want to think of names?
No.
Let's do what we need to before we decide.
Do you need my help?
No.
This is my problem. I got into this before I met you again.
I'm home.
Dinner is ready.
What is it?
Could you drink this?
For me.
This baby
is not yours.
It's the baby of someone I loved in high school.
I haven't been happy for a single second since we got married.
I realized that after I happened to run into him.
I only let you sleep with me
to hide the fact that you weren't this baby's father.
I thought about him the whole time we slept together.
But I can't keep doing this. The baby will be born soon.
Listen. You understand, don't you?
You're a good person.
Thank you.
You should drink too.
I can't. Think of the baby.
It's fine. All three of us can die together.
Here.
Drink.
I'll take away your pain.
You shouldn't be moving around so much.
Die.
Die!
That hurts.
Hey, that's dangerous.
That's dangerous!
That's dangerous! Watch out!
It hurts.
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Nobu.
Nobu! Save me!
Nobu!
Nobu! Save me!
Nobu!
I have to save it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR
Are you all right?
What?
Thank you for the meal.
Once I return home,
I'll give myself up to the police.
Several dead bodies were discovered
at a single-family home in Tokyo.
A brutal and gruesome incident has occurred here.
In this case, Keiichi Masaki turned himself in for the murder...
of his wife, Chie Masaki.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER KILLS HIS STUDENT'S MOTHER
DAUGHTER MISSING
TWO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS DISAPPEAR AT A DISCO
Excuse me.
Who drew this picture?
What?
Sorry.
Here.
We can't find out the address from this article.
Excuse me. I'd like to ask you about an incident in this area.
-In 1952, right? -Yes.
-The address... -This is...
Did you see the news this morning?
This house.
What?
WOMAN TRAPPED? MALE CORPSE FOUND
Stop.
Driver, stop here.
Make a U-turn.
We will broadcast the latest details.
Please step back.
We will announce the details soon.
Please wait until the announcement.
Kazuha.
Please step back.
Is there some connection between the child who made that drawing and that house?
What happened to his mother?
The apartment is empty.
All of his toys were just left there.
If only I had forced Toshiki into child protection.
I can't forgive myself.
Can you really believe this?
How can a house bring suffering to the people living in it?
I lived in that house until I was five years old.
Besides me, everyone in my family
is dead.
In this morning's incident,
a married couple lived in that home by themselves, right?
Yes.
I saw someone else.
They were on the second floor.
But I'm alive.
Why was I kept alive?
Why am I doing this work?
Dangerous houses don't really cause
horrific incidents.
They avoid public attention
and continue to exist.
This piece of property is rare.
But even this incident will be forgotten.
Someone will live there again.
Someone will end up like Tetsuya.
I still don't believe this.
I'm going to search for his mother instead.
It's a fact that these kinds of incidents
are happening around her.
We will change the schedule and report on the subway sarin gas attack.
Excuse us.
At slightly past 8:00 this morning, an extremely strong scent was detected
in the station and rail cars
of the Hibiya and Marunouchi lines of the Tokyo Metro.
A number of passengers on their way to work collapsed.
There have been six fatalities so far.
At a local hospital, 3,221 people are receiving treatment.
Among them, 17 people are in critical condition.
Why did you bury the fetus in the yard of that house?
I thought that I should.
Why did you think that?
It belongs to that home.
What do you mean it belongs to that home?
It's ringing.
And you went inside the house to eat?
How did you get in?
His wife told me to come in since I had worked so hard--
The wife in that home was killed the day before you went there.
No.
It wasn't her.
Who else was there?
It's ringing.
We won't get a proper statement from him at this rate.
Does that man seem insane?
No.
It's ringing!
Toshiki.
Mom.
"Mom"?
What's with you? Draw your dad too.
Katsuji. We're done talking.
Let's go.
Hey! Katsuji!
-We know you're in there. -Run away.
-Katsuji, here I come. -Run away.
Get out here!
Run away.
