Are you sure there's a house?
Mister.
Took a wrong turn once, but I'm sure now.
The man at the gas station said it's the road but...
I'll pay you now. Keep the change.
Never mind.
Take it.
Thanks.
Mister. Isn't a pretty girl waiting for you?
I'm worried.
I sent her a telegram to meet me at the station.
Mister!
VAMPIRE DOLL
I'm sorry I'm late. I Sagawa.
Is Yuko in?
I sent her a telegram today.
You are...?
Stop it!
Stop it, Genzo!
I'm very sorry.
He's hard of hearing and dumb. Please forgive him.
Oh.
You're Mr. Sagawa?
Yes.
I'm Yuko's mother.
I'm Kazuhiko Sagawa. We met in Tokyo.
She told me about you.
It's nice of you to come so far.
I'm sorry to come so late.
I was abroad about 6 months.
I missed Yuko very much, so...
Mr. Sagawa. You were too late.
Too late?
Yuko died.
What?
Two weeks ago. In a car accident.
It's...
Please.
She called your name until the very last.
How did it...?
She was returning in a rainstorm just like tonight.
She was caught in a landslide, car and all.
It can't be true.
I can't believe it!
She was so well and strong when I left.
Who is it? Why do you hide?
What happened?
I heard a sound. When I came, you were on the floor.
I saw Yuko!
Eh?
I heard her voice too!
Mr. Sagawa.
Yuko's not with us anymore. - No, I saw her.
In this room! In this closet!
She can't be dead! I'm sure I saw her!
You dreamt it?
Dreamt?
Yuko was lucky to be loved so deeply.
Mrs. Nonomura, l...!
Stop.
Please calm down and retire.
We'll go to her grave tomorrow...
Yuko!
YUKO NONOMURA REST lN PEACE
Yuko!
It's you! You're alive!
You're cold, icy cold...
What's going on? You're not dead! It's a lie!
I don't understand!
Yuko! Tell me what happened!
Please kill me...
What? What are you saying?
Please... Kill me...
Yuko, you're sick, aren't you?
So your mother doesn't want me to see you.
Don't cry anymore. I'll make you well again.
Hello. Miss Sagawa here.
Hiroshi?
What a voice.
It's Sunday but don't sound so sleepy.
Let's shove off.
Wait. I don't think I can go today.
What? What's the matter?
It's my brother. He's not back yet.
And I had a nightmare.
A dream? Don't worry.
He saw his girl after 6 months.
He took leave?
Yes, so I wasn't worried. He hates me to fuss.
But it's been 8 days.
He always called me before.
Know where he went?
Yes, to Tadeshina.
Phone?
I phoned. No answer.
The storm cut the lines?
That's too bad.
But...
I'll go to Yuko's home.
Eh?
Foul luck. A fine day to go driving.
I'm sorry to spoil your Sunday.
Never mind. We're driving.
Only one road. He asked here too.
I see.
My brother asked you about the road too. You saw him return?
No, I didn't notice.
Going to the Nonomura home too?
Yes.
Do you know Miss Nonomura?
Not very well. They don't associate with other people.
But that poor girl...
What about her?
You didn't hear about it?
She died.
Died?
Yes, two weeks ago in a landslide. In her car.
That's...
You didn't know?
No. I'm sure my brother didn't either.
I see. You didn't know?
What now?
Let's go, anyway.
Thanks.
Gen!
Came to buy stuff?
You just missed getting a ride.
They're your guests.
He left?
Yes. The day after he came
Four days ago?
Did you notice anything?
He was heartbroken over Yuko's death.
No wonder.
Where'd he go anyway?
He called somewhere else?
He'd call me.
She wouldn't know.
Let's leave.
I'd like to visit Yuko's grave.
Yes, it's very near here.
Yuko will be very happy.
So... Let's start for home.
Hurry or we won't be back before midnight.
Hiroshi.
You may laugh, but I feel Yuko's mother knows something.
Knows? About your brother?
There's no need to hide it.
No.
But I'm worried.
She doesn't like people much. That's all.
Stop worrying.
What is it?
Nothing.
A bird's nest?
Poor thing. Who'd be so cruel?
Keiko. Remember this cuff link?
My brother's. Why is it here?
He visited the grave too?
But if this stain is blood...
I'm sorry we bothered you.
Such poor hospitality.
Excuse me.
That's funny. What happened?
Is there anything wrong?
The fan belt burned out?
It happens sometimes. I should've checked it.
Can't fix it?
Have to call a mechanic.
But here...
Tomorrow even if you phone now?
Ma'am.
It's rude to ask, but can you put us up for the night?
Please stay. I'm afraid I can't do much for you.
Thank you.
Genzo, prepare their dinner, please.
And their rooms, too.
It's a splendid, authentic foreign-style residence.
My husband's father was a diplomat.
But it's become very old now.
No more? You don't eat much.
Yes. I've had quite enough.
Thank you.
I'll help.
No, please don't worry.
I'll bring tea.
I feel I'll suffocate.
Don't you think we're intruding?
What? Changed your mind?
I think she knows you tampered with the car on purpose.
Yet we...
Hear something?
The wind?
No.
Someone's weeping in the house.
Hiroshi!
Be right back. Stay here.
What is it?
I'm worried about that voice.
Everyone says it sounds like a weeping woman.
Eh?
It's the wind blowing in from the skylight.
The wind?
The walls are crumbling here. Never come in here again.
It's such an old house.
Excuse me.
Genzo! What're you doing?
Are you hurt?
No.
I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep, so I was taking a walk.
No, I should apologize to you.
You should go to bed soon.
Keiko!
Hiroshi!
What'sthe matter?
Yuko!
What?
Yuko came in!
Nonsense. You dreamt it?
I saw here clearly by the door!
We're sorry to bother you.
A nightmare, I think.
Good night.
Good to sleep now.
You don't believe me.
Keiko. Yuko's dead. She died in an accident
You heard what the man said.
Butl really saw Yuko, her hand all bloody.
As if she'd just got hurt.
You imagined it. You must have.
Everything's old in this house.
It jars onthe nerves.
Let's not think of stupid things.
Let's turn in and start early tomorrow.
I guess it'll run now. Excuse me.
I see. Take care onthe way.
We can reach Tokyo before dark.
I won't go home.
Keiko, still...?
Forget that house.
I bet he's in Tokyo and worrying aboutyou.
No. I'm sure he's somewhere in that house.
The ghost didn't tell you so, did it?
The doll my brother bought for Yuko.
Where'd you...?
Inthe bedroom.
Something happened between him and Yuko.
I can't help feeling so.
I understand. It doesn't make sense but I understand.
Let's check again.
TOWN HALL
Yuko Nonomura?
Here it is.
Yuko Nonomura. Born: November 4 1949.
Died: June 13, 1970, 1 :30 A.M.
Poor girl.
Cursed by the God of Death.
God of Death?
Cursed, I guess. That family's tragedy-prone.
More than 20years ago, a burglar got in and killed almost everyone.
Shot by a pistol. It was a gory sight.
A pistol?
Gen was away at the time.
Strangely, only Mrs. Nonomura was safe.
But she tried to commit suicide.
Then that scar...?
The child she bore nine months later was Yuko.
Then Yuko...?
Then her father... I mean the suspect...?
The shock of it all made her forget everything that happened.
So they couldn't find the suspect.
The mother and daughter didn't have any friends in town.
Mrs. Nonomura and Gen raised the girl by selling land and such.
Excuse me.
DEATH CERTIFICATES
Doctor In Attendance: Doctor Yamaguchi.
Come again tomorrow. It's only a cold.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Funny words for a patient.
I came about Yuko Nonomura.
Yuko Nonomura?
You knew her?
Of course. I was there when she died.
Doctor. Is Yuko really dead?
Keiko, that's not the way to suddenly...
I'm sorry, but l saw her last night.
What?
She died of contusion and internal injuries...
No external wounds, she looked beautiful.
She'd broken some of her bones. Her shoulder was crushed.
Doctor. When I saw her, her hand was all bloody.
Oh...
You don't believe me either?
Yes, I believe you.
Science can't explain occult powers.
It's not my speciality but I'm studying it.
I saw a ghost myself.
Frankly, I'm not too sure about it.
It was during the war inthe jungle.
"The sea... until I see the sea that goes home..."
"l won't die." They were the words of a badly wounded soldier.
One day, he finally died.
A few days later, we reached the sea.
Looking back, I saw him standing there.
Not only me, everyone saw him.
We sawhim fade into the sea.
Even now, I don't believe it was a ghost but the man himself.
The man himself?
Outwardly, he'd died but his obsession hadn't.
He'd followed us through the jungle.
A doctor shouldn't say such things. I'm a man of science.
What do you think?
I didn't imagine what I saw.
Keiko.
We came to find your brother.
She was his sweetheart. They may be together.
What'll you do? How'll you expose the ghost?
I'll go back and ask her.
A waste of time.
Stay here and find out.
That's wasting more time!
My brother's in that house! I know it!
Don't go! You'll get spooked again!
After that scare last night.
Ghosts don't appear in the daytime!
I'll go alone!
Go ahead. I'll check in my own way.
You don't mind me going on my own?
Go if you want to!
Say, wait!
Pal.
What is it?
Want to hear something special about the Nonomura girl?
Wasn't cremated?
Just between us, I buried that girl.
She wasn't cremated? Why?
The mother loved her so much, she couldn't have done it.
But you hear stories about people who begin breathing again.
That reminds me. The soil was very soft.
I'll dig it up for you.
If you pay me.
Mrs. Nonomura! It's Keiko Sagawa!
I'd like to ask some questions!
You forgot something? But you've come to the wrong room.
No. I'm sorry I came in without permission.
But there's something I must know.
I saw Yuko last night.
So I don't think my brother went home.
Please tell me where he is! Yuko too!
Youwant to see her?
Then she's...?
Please.
Please.
No! Open it!
Open the door!
Open it!
Doctor!
What's the matter? You saw the ghost again?
No.
But Mrs. Nonomura...!
I heard. Wrought up, so she locked you in not knowing what you'd do.
I was just...
Doctor, please save me!
Whatever she said, I'm not sick! She's crazy!
Now, now, don't get excited.
She's high strung too.
So I bring her medicine to put her to sleep.
You're just as nervous as she is.
No, I'm not!
Now, lie down a while.
Whatare you doing?
Doctor, this man watches me from outside the window!
He does?
I knowit was wrong to enter without permission, but...
Don't get excited. Just a sedative.
It'll make you feel better.
All right?
Doctor...
Stop it! Please stop it!
I'm sorry after you paid me.
But not one chance in a million she'd come out alive.
She was bloody all over.
Traffic accidents sure are awful.
What is it? Open it up.
Don't blame me if you keel over.
A doll. I thought so.
Keiko!
Where's Keiko?
The car's inthe woods!
She's here and so is her brother!
Mrs. Nonomura!
You... You're...!
Don't pretend anymore!
Mrs. Nonomura...
I know everything you did!
She came backto life and became insane!
To hide it, everyone who sees her, you...!
No, you're wrong.
I saw it with my own eyes!
She's become a vampire!
She killed a man tonight too!
And l... Gen...
He tried to push me off a cliff and fell down himself.
He died?
From that height, he must have done.
Gen died?
Now, tell me. Where's Keiko?
She wasn't...? Yuko didn't...?
Yuko is dead.
Mrs. Nonomura. I sawher grave with my own eyes!
Yuko is dead.
Only her soul is alive...
No, the hate that smouldered in her subconscious for 20 years.
She was innocent.
Butshe hated those who called her a killer's daughter.
It's not Yuko you saw.
Her troubled spirit remains here.
I don't believe it!
A spirit killing people.
It's all a made-up story!
You may not believe it but it happened.
That time...
That time?
Yes, when Yuko was about to die that night on her bed.
Mother!
Mother!
Yuko!
I don't want to die!
I was just about to find happiness!
No! No! I don't want to die!
Yuko! You won't die! Never! Never!
Where's Mr. Sagawa?
Let me see him!
Yuko was my life.
I would have done anything to save her.
Then, the devil began to whisper to me.
I sold a soul to the devil... Yuko's soul!
Yuko was about to breathe her last when I had her hypnotized.
She revived.
As a vampire seeking blood in dark places.
Why? Why'd you do it?
Mrs. Nonomura
Perhaps she marks the neck because of your...
I do not know.
Butshe liked to touch it since she was a child.
To me and her, my scar was a symbol of our tragic life.
Sometimes, she returns to her former self.
Then she weeps and asks us to kill her.
Demented! It's not Yuko alone! You too!
If it's hypnotism, why not have her released?
I can't do it. The person who hypnotised her must do it.
Who hypnotised her?
I did it.
Doctor!
I'll tell you the rest of the story.
You, doctor? You hypnotised her?
Yes.
Here, sit down.
She was born under an unlucky star.
An accident when happiness was almost in her reach.
When I knew I couldn't save her as a doctor, I used hypnotism.
It was the only way to save this family.
But she became a vampire even I can't manage.
Only 2 people she doesn't attack.
The mother she loves above all people and Gen.
Why is that?
You know about the wholesale massacre here 20years ago?
I'm the one who killed them.
She was my fiancee.
But the war ruined everything.
I lost all my family and I found she'd married someone else, so l...
Yes, I'm the killer.
Butl couldn't kill her.
She tried to commit suicide. Then she bore my child, keeping my secret.
When I found out, I decided to live in town and watch over them.
You understand? Yuko's my daughter.
How about it? Do you believe my story?
Yuko.
Brother!
Help!
Help me, somebody!
Keiko.
Help!
Keiko!
Hiroshi!
I'll open it! Stand back!
Hiroshi!
Not hurt?
Yuko!
Run!
You!
You can't getaway!
I thought I'd never use it again, but... Some bullets left.
Give up. At this distance, I can't miss.
Or will you go to sleep again?
Keiko.
Don't look in his eyes.
Yuko.
I'm... I'm your...
Her hand!
She's dying.
She's being released... she's finally dying.
