Original subtitles

A mysterious incident is often mentioned on 2chan and other internet imageboards.

The truth about it is buried in darkness, and has never be told.

Or rather... it can not be told.

Everyone's mouth is shut.

[The Samejima Incident]

- Hey, Fumi? - Nana?

- What? - You're late!

Sorry, I was working.

Is everyone there?

We already started!

Really?

Hurry up! We only meet once a year.

Sure.

There's no point if you're not here!

Sorry! I'm almost there, wait just a little longer.

- Okay, waiting for you! - Later.

Onii-chan? What time you'll be back today?

Pretty late, I think. I've got a lot of work to do.

I see. Work hard, then.

I have an online drinking party with Fumi and the others, call me when you're back.

- Really? - I told you!

Nobody could go back home this summer due to the pandemic.

So we're doing a remote meeting.

I completely forgot about that.

- You never listen, do you..? - Guilty as charged.

Okay, have fun. I'll call you when I come back.

Okay.

[Where are you? Are you home?]

A group of people!

It's a group of people!

- Some sort of... party? - What's that?!

- Scary! - No way!

Nana! You're here!

Sorry for being late!

Welcome!

What are you watching?

A YT channel called "ZoZoZo".

They explore abandoned buildings. Pretty cool.

It's so scary!

Wait, what's that?!

Wa... wait a minute.

No way....

What?

And that was it.

So creepy!

This stuff gives you heart attacks!

Nana? What's wrong?

I saw something weird, I dunno. It was nothing.

Don't say that!

I'm okay.

By the way, it has been a year! Is everyone well?

We're not fine!

It's impossible to find a job.

Ryo, you're not job hunting in Ibaraki?

My girl is from Hokkaido and I'm thinking of staying.

But I can't make up my mind. You?

I'm looking here in Tokyo.

But it's so hard right now...

Fumi, didn't you find a job in Osaka?

Yes! Starting next year, music teacher.

Nice! You won't be leaving your flute behind then!

Fumi, Nana, play something!

No way! I can't keep up with a music grad!

Come on! You used to play the flute too!

I've put it away, it's all dusty!

Well played!

I wonder where my trumpet is.

To think in high school we blew in it everyday like idiots.

Now we moved on, so many things changed.

But me, Yuuki, and Ayumi still hang out, right?

But let's not show Ayumi any of that weird stuff!

She's so easily scared! Poor thing.

I was trying to lighten up the Corona lockdown! You should thank me!

Get a load of this guy!

I'm not Ayumi but that video just scared me!

- Liar! - I'm serious!

Where's Ayumi?

She's not here... she didn't want to come?

She's probably just sleeping.

Yuuki, are you still wasting your time on that occult stuff?

You're an adult, don't you have anything else to do?

- You also like this stuff! - I don't!

I haven't changed like you, I'm always my old self!

And that's okay.

What are you guys talking about?

We were talking about it before you arrived.

Yesterday 3 of them went to this scary place.

A scary place?

We wanted to have a little adventure...

but it was a let-down. Nothing happened.

Yeah.

I had such high expectations.

Nana? What's wrong?

Are you okay?

It's nothing.

Please stop!

- Come on! - I'm worried...

Sorry, sorry.

You're late!

- Ayumi! - She really was asleep.

You didn't get in touch after yesterday, I was worried.

Why a still picture? No video?

- Ayumi, are you okay? - We can't hear you.

Bad connection, maybe?

- We can't hear you. - Ayumi?

- You people... - No video?

- She was with you! - Who's that?

Who's that? Ayumi's boyfriend?

She was with you!

It's your fault, your fault, your fault, your fault...

- your fault, your fault - Ayumi?

your fault, your fault, your fault.

What is this?

This room...

- She's asleep? - Ayumi's room.

Ayumi?

Ayumi?

Ayumi?

Ayumi?

Ayumi?

Ayumi, are you okay? Ayumi!

Ayumi!

Ayumi!

Ayumi?

Ayumi yesterday told me she'd be killed by a curse!

A curse?

Look at her! She's dead!

What the hell is this? What curse?!

What the hell was she talking about?!

- That legend was real?! - It can't be!

Then what the hell is this?!

Why did she have to die?!

Wh... what legend?

What?

There's someone.

Hey... what legend? What is he talking about?

What this? What's this?!

Hey...

- Yuuki? What's this? - I don't know! What's going on?!

Yuuki! Let's call the police!

- Quick! - Quick!

- No reception! - Call them!

What the hell? Wait...

Why?

I can't connect either!

But the internet works!

How? No way...

What's this?

The socials don't work either.

But why?

Yuuki! Has this anything to do with the place you went to yesterday?!

Well?

Hey... where did you go?

What did you do?

Yesterday... we went to a place... for a courage test.

Ayumi said she saw a ghost, and panicked...

A ghost?

We didn't take her seriously, she's so easily scared...

What the..?

We checked the room where she said she saw the ghost, but nothing was there!

We were just playing around!

It was just a test of courage! Then we went back home!

Ayumi is dead!

What the hell is this?

What is this?!

So, what her boyfriend said...

the legend... what was it?

- Suzu. - Suzu, don't.

What?

Suzu!

Tell us!

Suzu! Do tell!

Sa...

Samejima.

The Samejima Incident.

Can you hear me?

Hey!

Hey! Can you hear me?

Hey! Can you hear me?

What's this... what's happening?

Nana! Nana!

- Nana! - Fumi?

Fumi?

- Guys? - It's the same.

Darkness outside, and we can't leave our rooms!

What about you? Suzu?

Suzu's stream is frozen.

Suzu!

No way! It was real...

And we're next!

Yuuki, what the hell is this? Explain!

Suzu!

There's someone behind Suzu!

- What? - Suzu!

- Suzu! - Suzu!

- It's getting close! Suzu! - Run!

- Suzu! Run! - Get away!

- Suzu! - Run!

- Suzu! Run away! - Suzu!

Suzu! Suzu!

Suzu!

Suzu?

Suzu!

Guys, look behind!

What was that?

What's going on?!

Hey!

What is going on?!

Tell us!

Yeah! Explain what's going on!

Suzu called it "the Samejima Incident". What's that?

Is it linked to what's happening to us?

Yuuki!

- Yuuki! - Tell us everything!

Why is this happening to all of us? We're not involved!

It's called "The Samejima Incident"...

It's a 20 years old urban legend, from 2chan.

Urban legend?

So what's the Incident?!

I don't know.

- Uh? - What?!

I don't get it.

No one actually knows what is about.

What does that mean?! Nobody knows?

Then how does it spread?

The legend is just that there is a Samejima Incident.

So...

nobody knows what's about.

That makes no sense!

If you learn about the Incident...

you always die from the curse.

Die... from the curse?

That's why no one talks about it.

That's how it is.

What the heck?

So even you don't know what's about?

But...

Some guy who died from it...

wrote about it on his website.

The website is still online.

No way... but how?

So when you guys went to that place for the courage test...

It was the place that guy wrote about.

Where the Samejima Incident legend started.

You morons!

Why would you do that?!

We didn't think it was fucking real!

So Yuuki, and the others...

did you find out what the Samejima Incident is about?

This is all my fault...

We'll manage, don't worry.

So... what was that about, then?

- Hey, stop! Where are you going? - Yuuki!

Yuuki!

Yuuki, don't open the door, it's dangerous!

Are you crazy?!

- Yuuki! - Where are you going?!

Yuuki!

Don't!

Yuuki!

What did you do?! Moron!

Fuck!

"Samejima Incident"

[The Samejima Incident]

[Never talk about the Samejima Incident]

"Never talk about the Samejima Incident"

Coming in...

Sorry for the intrusion.

Uh?

The light works!

Who..?

Uh... I'm the building administrator.

- You? - Yeah.

- Is that Suzu's room? - The apartment door was open!

But miss Yamada is not here.

- And someone heard a scream... - Suzu's not there?

... so I come to check. Did something happen?

Please help us!

We're inside the Samejima Incident curse!

Uh? Samejima... curse?

A death curse! There's must be a dead body in that room!

A dead curse? What?!

Is Suzu somewhere in the room?

There's nothing here...

- What? - Nothing..?

Please show us!

- Please! - Like... here?

Here.

There's no one here.

How's that possible?

- Suzu is not there. - Suzu!

It's like that, uh?

What?

You are drinking, uh?

- No, we... - It's not like that.

I've been getting a lot of complaints about these online drinking parties.

It's not like that!

It's not! We really... Suzu...

- Maybe... - Listen.

I showed you, there's no one here.

But Suzu has to be there!

Please look for her!

- Wait, wait, please listen to us! - You're making such a fuss.

It's real! Listen!

Police...

Can you call the police? We have no reception.

Please! Listen!

Calling the police? Please stop with this nonsense.

There's no dead body here. Nothing!

It's fine to have a drinking party...

but stop bothering me with this curse nonsense!

- It's real! - It's real!

Wait! Wait!

Wait, please!

And when miss Yamada comes back...

tell her not to make too much noise.

Wait! Hey!

Are you kidding me? Fucking hag...

It was our only hope...

And where did Suzu go?

And why I am involved in this anyway?!

[Don't talk about the Samejima Incident]

[Don't talk about it]

"Ayumi went there with you guys..."

"What the hell was that story!"

"Ayumi said she'd be killed by a curse!"

"What is this?!"

Ayumi's boyfriend was told about the Samejima Incident... so he died.

"Never talk about the Samejima Incident"

When someone asks about it, everyone writes...

"never talk about the Samejima Incident".

Because... anyone that learns about it gets cursed?

But how does it spread, if nobody talks about it?

What do you mean?

When Yuuki and the others learned about the Samejima Incident...

just by hearing the words "Samejima Incident"...

they were already cursed.

"We went to a place for a test of courage..."

"The place that guy wrote about... where the legend started."

"The Samejima Incident"

"If you learn about the Samejima Incident...

"you will die"

So you get cursed just by hearing the words "Samejima Incident"?!

Yes. Ayumi's boyfriend got cursed...

and now it's happening to us.

No, wait. There's a contradiction.

If you get cursed immediately after hearing about it...

it couldn't spread, as you said.

The person that hears the words "Samejima Incident"...

becomes the next host for the curse.

Host?

It's like the Coronavirus.

An infection.

After you get it, you become a spreader.

So the people that hear the words "Samejima Incident"...

become the curse hosts.

And then they transmit the curse by saying it to other people.

That's why people write...

literally, not to say "Samejima Incident".

So it spreads like a virus?! It can't be stopped!

You shouldn't say the words to anyone...

Or hear them.

But we already...

"Samejima Incident".

So... it's likely we've already became hosts for the curse?

Fuck... so what are we supposed to do?

Yuuki?!

Yuuki?

Yuuki! Where are you?

Yuuki?

Yuuki, are you okay?

What is this?!

Yuuki, can you hear us?

Are you okay?

- Yuuki! - Yuuki!

- Yuuki? - What's that?

- Where are you? - Are you okay?

What?

Do not leave your rooms!

I can't believe this...

It's my fault...

Tell us all you know about this Samejima Incident.

Yuuki, please!

We have to stop the curse.

- We're already cursed anyway! - So please tell us what you know.

Don't just stand there!

- Tell us something! - Yeah!

Long ago... there was a 2chan user called Samejima.

He filmed himself brutally raping women, and sold the videos.

Some guys found out, and wanted to stop him.

One of them dressed up as a woman and met him at Kashiwa Station.

They lured him into an abandoned building called "Hakufuuen", and beat him up.

They ended up killing him.

Also...

one of them broadcasted the lynching live on the internet.

It started out of a desire for justice...

but it devolved into murdering for pleasure.

Samejima's horrible death was cheered.

"That's what he deserved".

The word spread. Everyone was cheering.

That's horrible.

However, shortly after the lynching...

the perpetrators started dying one after the other, in their homes.

After that, every single person that watched the livestream...

and the people who shared, too, were cursed to death.

The ones who watched... or shared it?

Yeah.

That's why you don't talk about the Samejima Incident.

That's how it started.

Yuuki?

Are you okay?

Ryo...

Ryo... thanks for everything.

It's over for me... so I want to ask you guys a favour.

Yuuki!

Yuuki, wait!

Yuuki! Wait!

Yuuki, don't go!

Yuuki!

Yuuki!

What do we do now?

No idea...

Why...

"Some guys found out and tried to stop him."

"One of them dressed up as a woman and met him at Kashiwa Station."

"Lured him into an abandoned building called Hakufuuen."

Hakufuuen

The place where the Samejima Incident happened.

Everyone, look!

What..?

"16 bloody pics" ?

What is this?

Look at number 16!

This... wait...

Did they locked him up and left him to starve?

"Yesterday... we went to a place for a test of courage."

"Ayumi said she saw a ghost an panicked."

"We checked the room, but nothing was there!"

Yuuki, and the others...

opened this door.

Maybe we can stop the curse if we close it!

How? We can't leave our rooms.

[caller: Onii-chan]

Nana? Answer the call!

What?

- Onii-chan? - Hi Nana. I'll be home soon.

Masaki?

- Where are you now? - At the front door.

At the door?!

Since he's outside, maybe he can help us.

Yeah! Nana! Hurry!

Masaki!

Thank God...

Uh? Where are you?

Where are you?

I'm in the room. You?

Front door.

Uh? No you are not.

Come on. Where are you?

Uh?

Onii-chan, can you switch to a video call?

What's happening?

Please, just do it.

Okay, sure.

Hey, Nana. What's going on?

If I tell you... will you believe me?

What?

- I'm also in the room. - Uh?

What are you talking about?

How?

What's going on?

Do you believe me now?

Nana, what's happening? Show us!

What? Where's that?

Maybe we were...

taken to a parallel reality?

What's this? What's going on?

Parallel reality?

- What? - So... no one can help us?

Nana... explain what's going on.

Nana!

We don't really get it...

but we think we found a way to fix this.

Onii-chan, go back home and wait, don't get involved.

It's in Kashiwa!

Fumi, don't tell him!

An abandoned building called Hakufuuen.

Kashiwa?

- Fumi! No! - The curse started in that house!

- In Kashiwa? - Don't get involved!

Nana! If we don't do this, we'll die!

Involved... in what?

But!

Die? How?

- We have to ask! There's no other way! - Curse? What curse?

Nana!

Tell me, Nana.

No way, I can't.

Nana!

No way.

Tell me. I want to know.

Onii-chan...

You can't keep me in dark.

- I can't. - Explain.

This curse...

It sounds crazy, but we were cursed and we cant leave our rooms.

- Ryo! - You can't leave?

We have to rely on you!

- Please! - There a door...

Ryo, no!

In that building... there's a door with a chain.

You have to close the door shut!

Please!

We're sorry...

Please help!

- Stop! - Please!

Please!

No! Stop!

Okay. I'm going to Kashiwa.

Nana, and all of you... I'll save you.

Wait, it's dangerous! Don't!

Now he'll be cursed... why did you do this?

To be saved...

Is that so?!

This curse is like a virus! And my brother was not infected!

So we're just gonna sit there and wait for death?!

I wasn't involved either!

As usual, you cannot understand how others feel!

I hate you!

And I hate your selfishness!

Calm down!

Are you kidding me!

What if this kills my brother too?!

It's fine! We didn't say the words "Samejima Incident"!

But he's still going to that cursed place! It's a suicide mission!

He'll close the door before he can get the curse!

It's not that simple!

You only say so because it's convenient for you!

What's this sound?

What?

It's my room.

I hear it in my room!

Ryo?

Look closely.

The truth about this curse...

- Ryo, what are you doing? - Ryo! Stop!

I'll show you.

Don't! Stop!

Ryo?

Come out! Samejima!

Bring it!

Ryo, stop!

You're fucking kidding me...

Ryo!

You're here, uh?

What's this?

What?

What's..?

What's that?

What's that, Ryo?

Ryo, stop!

Run! Run!

Run!

Ryo! Ryo!

Nana?

Fumi?

Fumi...

Nana...

I'm sorry for what I said.

I don't want us to fight before we die.

Don't say that.

If we survive this... let's play flute together again.

I love how you play.

Fumi...

- Nana? - Onii-chan?

I'll be there soon.

- Please hurry! - Got it.

Onii-chan?!

Onii-chan, are you okay?

Masaki?

Onii-chan...

I'm fine.

Nana, I'm here.

Hold on, Fumi, soon this will be over.

Somewhere in there... there's the room where the curse started.

- You have to close its door. - Got it.

"To reach the final door...

you have to visit all the places in the other pics, in order."

Or you won't reach the final door?!

No way...

First, a room with hair on the floor.

Look for a room with a big bed!

But why?

If you don't visit the places in the right order...

you won't find the curse room!

Okay.

Onii-chan, enter that room!

Okay.

What's this?

A pair of scissors.

There's something written there.

"Arrogance"

Arrogance?

Next one?

Look for a big Japanese-style room!

Japanese-style?

- Yes. - Got it.

Onii-chan, show me that room!

Sure.

There's something here.

What's this?

Blood.

There's something written here, too.

"Greed"

Greed?

Is there a bathtub nearby?

- Bathtub? - Yes.

A bathtub.

In here?

Do you see any word? "Lust", maybe?

Let me check.

What's this?

"Lust"

Nana, how did you know?

The Seven Deadly Sins.

The Seven Deadly Sins?

Yes.

Arrogance, Envy, Anger, Laziness...

Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

They're said to be the seven paths that can lead man to sin.

Lead man to sin..?

Maybe written by the person who created this curse...

A snide remark.

I don't really get it, but we have four more rooms to visit.

Right.

Next, a men's restroom.

Onii-chan, behind you! Run!

Run!

Run!

Faster!

Run, run!

"Gluttony"

Gluttony?

Fumi?

Onii-chan, hurry up! Fumi is in danger!

Next one has a bloody sink!

A big kitchen!

Got it.

Nana! I don't want to die!

Fumi!

Fumi!

Fumi!

Onii-chan, please hurry!

No! I don't want to die! Nana!

The bloody sink.

"Envy"

Nana, only two left.

One of these two must be the curse room.

A tatami room, sprinkled with blood!

And then the door of the curse room!

Onii-chan...

What? I just put that away.

Onii-chan?

Yuuki!

Onii-chan, are you okay?

Fumi...

It's shut!

Fumi...

"Anger"

Onii-chan...

The bloody tatami...

And now, the door!

Onii-chan, run!

Run, Onii-chan! Run!

Run!

Wait!

That's the door Yuuki opened.

"Laziness"

Quick, close the door!

Fumi! Run!

Survive...

Fumi!

Fumi? Fumi?

Fumi!

Uh? Onii-chan?

Onii-chan!

Onii-chan!

- Onii-chan! - Where am I?

Why it doesn't open?!

Nana! I'm stuck!

Where am I?!

Onii-chan!

Nana!

Wait!

Help!

Wait, I'll open!

Help!

Onii-chan?

Onii-chan?

Onii-chan?

Onii-chan?

Onii-chan!

[The Samejima Incident]

TN: A post-credits scene starts at 1h19m34s.

Yeah, yeah.

Yes. That's what I thought at the time.

The ramblings of some drunkard.

That mass disappearance incident, yes.

And they were in Ibaraki, Hokkaido, Tokyo, and Osaka.

All in different places.

That's so scary, isn't it?

Uh? Ah, what it was?

The "Samejima Incident curse", they called it.

I don't know what it is!

No, someone at my door.

Later, then. Bye.

Coming!
