TOMIE: FIRST STORY
One week passed...
but the person who killed Tomie hasn't been found yet.
- Did you watch the news? - Yeah, they were here yesterday.
Her body was in the trash area.
I hope they solve the case soon. This is horrible.
I wonder who the killer is.
- I bet a pervert or a street killer. - Tomie was unlucky.
- Tomie was very cute. - Old men loved her.
It's so horrible.
It seems that Takashi is still depressed.
Of course, his girlfriend was killed, you know.
Say something to him.
- But... - Go.
If I do that, it'll seem like I'm happy that Tomie is gone.
Don't be silly. No one would think that.
You are the only one who can cheer him up, Miki.
Good morning.
We were a couple until two months ago.
We haven't walked together for a long time.
Then Tomie appeared, and she stole Takashi from me.
Still skateboarding?
Yeah. I'm much better now.
If I don't do anything, I start to think about lots of things.
So I was skateboarding all day yesterday.
I see.
I did it too much and fell.
Look.
Look, can I go watch you practice someday?
- Like before? - Yeah.
I will bring some food.
And I want to cheer you up.
Thanks.
What? Is it possible?
It's Tomie!
- What? - Really?
Good morning.
You two were staring at each other. What were you talking about?
What's wrong?
You are looking at me like I'm a ghost or something.
I thought she was a ghost.
When Tomie entered the room, all the classmates were shocked.
I thought I had heart attack, and I would become a ghost.
You look like a ghost anyway.
Shut up. You do, too.
Tomie suddenly reappeared, but she was not a ghost.
She was alive and was the real Tomie.
The whole school panicked.
So the doctor gave her a checkup. She was alive.
Then... who was killed?
It means that it was some other girl who looked like Tomie.
The police are irresponsible.
When we are out at night-
I'm hungry. Let's go in here.
What's wrong?
I'm going home.
Are you sick or something?
You are really alive, aren't you?
You are silly.
You are really real, right?
How about that? Do you remember me now?
I'm the same as before, aren't I?
I love you, Takashi.
Don't let go of me.
I want to talk to you.
- A week ago... - Wait.
I thought it would look good on you. So I just bought it.
For me?
It's a present.
Really?
I wanted to see that face.
Thanks.
Aren't you going to get that?
Didn't you want that present?
What did you want to talk about?
What happened to the thing you told me a week ago?
What did I tell you, Takashi?
You said you wanted to break up with me.
You said you liked someone else, and you didn't want to be with me.
Why are you saying such a lie?
Takashi, don't you love me anymore?
I have only you, Takashi.
If you don't love me...
I would rather die.
I love you. Please be with Tomie forever.
Isn't it cute? It's a new ring tone.
You have bad taste, as usual.
What? Mine is better than yours.
By the way, do you know...
there is a rumor that people saw...
a ghost behind Monta Mino on TV yesterday.
What channel?
- Did you know that? - No, I didn't.
I'll get something to drink.
- Get me tea with no sugar. - Get me something sweet.
I understand Miki's feelings, but...
We can't say it is too bad that Tomie is alive.
No.
Sorry. I'm late.
What did you want?
- I have a favor to ask. - From me?
It's easy.
Break up with Takashi.
Why are you saying that?
- Don't be so mean. - I saw you yesterday.
I saw that you and some other guy were all over each other.
There are more guys, right? Poor Takashi.
He was so depressed while you were gone for a week.
Takashi really loves you.
Don't torture him anymore.
Break up with Takashi.
Why are you saying such terrible things?
Don't pretend to be innocent.
Miki, you are an unbelievably stupid and worthless girl.
"Poor Takashi"? That's bullshit. You hypocrite.
You are just jealous because I took Takashi from you.
You are envious of me.
You just want to fool around with lots of guys, who like me.
You won't break up with Takashi or any of the other guys, will you?
I can't help. Those guys are coming onto me.
See? Now you know.
This is Tomie's true character.
Don't believe what Miki said. Miki is a liar.
What are you talking about? I just heard everything.
No. You are being fooled by her.
I have only you.
Tomie, stop it.
I love you, Takashi.
Don't let me go. Hold me forever.
I am... yours, Takashi.
Takashi, stop!
Tomie just died.
She really died.
Again... I killed Tomie.
What are you talking about?
What is this about?
Then Takashi started to ramble.
Two weeks ago...
the day before people thought Tomie was killed...
Tomie told Takashi that she wanted to break up with him.
- What is it? - Break up with me.
Why are you suddenly saying that?
- You can't leave me! - Don't touch me, creep!
I beg you. Let's start over.
Why don't you like me now?
You are a fool. I don't like you. So I don't like you.
There is another guy, isn't there?
I don't like this stupidity of yours.
I've been dating other guys the whole time we were together.
No.
Tomie is... mine forever.
I will never give you to anybody.
That's how Takashi killed Tomie...
and he hid her body in the trash- that's what he said.
What are you talking about? Pull yourself together!
- She was alive. - She came back to life!
She came back.
I couldn't believe Takashi's story.
He must've been in shock because he'd just killed Tomie.
And he must've been confused. That's what I thought.
Although Takashi was frightened, I was somehow calm.
I thought I would be able to help Takashi.
She must be punished.
She was a terrible girl.
She deserved to die.
Don't worry, Takashi.
I'll help you.
We'll wait here until it gets dark.
Then we can carry Tomie somewhere and hide her.
Don't worry. No one will find out.
We have to do more than hide!
Hiding her doesn't work.
I think that's enough. Let's bury her now.
No. We have to dig deeper.
Piece of junk.
Where are you going?
I'm tired. I'm going home.
- What about school? - I'll pass.
- It doesn't matter. - No.
When Tomie's body is found, we might be suspected.
We have to go to school and pretend nothing ever happened.
Okay?
That's how we started our secret, just with each other.
It was a very awful secret...
but my heart was satisfied.
We shouldn't go in together.
If somebody sees us together, they will suspect something.
Okay.
Thanks, Miki.
It's nothing.
I will go see you skateboard someday.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- That's rare, you three together. - Us three?
What's wrong?
You look like you are seeing a ghost.
You forgot something.
TOMIE
TOMIE: SECOND STORY
The theme of my pictures is women.
For more than 10 years, I've been photographing many women.
But I still haven't met a woman who fits my ideal.
Mr. Mori, don't give me a hard time. Where are you?
I'm sorry, but I'm taking a few days off, starting today.
What are you talking about? You have work today.
Just come back here, please.
Just tell them that I'm sick or that I had an accident. Just cancel it.
Please don't do this, Mr. Mori.
Please just tell me where you are.
Where am I? The place where I can meet my ideal woman.
A t that time, she used to stand there and look into the distance.
Every day after school...
I came to check if she was here or not.
I was into her-
She had dazzled the eyes of a kid like me.
I could never say anything to her, not even once.
Then I left town and became a photographer.
I photographed countless women.
But so far, I've never met such an attractive woman as her.
No woman can excite me.
I wonder why she was standing there every day.
I wonder where she is and what she is doing now.
Because I realized I am still looking for her image...
it felt empty to photograph any other woman.
I'm in the biggest slump I've ever had...
and I can't get out of it.
That's why I came back to town after more than 10 years' away.
Of course, I don't expect to see her here.
I just want to relive the feeling from that time.
This might inspire me to get out of the slump.
Anyway, that's what I thought.
The town had changed a lot.
But this place was the same as it was in the old days.
Aren't you open?
Please come in.
Beer, please.
- You take pictures? - Yeah. It's my hobby.
- You want me to take one? - Really?
It's a joke. I don't take pictures of men.
I'm sorry. I gave you a start.
I'm not a pervert.
My name is Mori.
Well, I know it's a bit sudden to ask...
but would you model for me?
Of course, we'd pay you.
It's not nude or anything.
Please. I want to take your photograph.
Actually, it has to be you.
Please, be my model.
Wait. Please tell me your contact info.
You want to take my pictures so badly?
Please, let me take your picture.
I'm free tomorrow. So, if you want.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
I'll meet you here tomorrow at noon.
Wait! What is your name?
It's Tomie.
If the woman at the park had a daughter...
she would be the girl's age.
I met Tomie, who inherited her mother's beauty perfectly.
It may be better than if I had seen the woman having grown old.
- You came. - Of course. I promised you.
I haven't been this nervous since my first date.
I'm nervous, too.
I don't want you to take bad pictures of me.
Don't worry. I'll take great pictures. Let's go.
Good.
- It's a Chinese dress. - Looks nice.
It's beautiful.
Would you buy me this?
Ta-da!
Looks good.
Very cute.
Looks good.
Mr. Mori, take it easy.
Let's go somewhere else.
Good.
Okay.
Can I ask you something funny? You look like your mother, don't you?
That's a really funny question.
Am I right?
I don't know. I can't really tell.
- Have you had this mole from birth? - I don't know.
Oops. Hold on.
Oh, no.
I used all my film.
It's already this late?
- Sorry. You must be tired. - No.
I had a great time.
I'm fine.
Thanks. I haven't concentrated this much for a long time.
If it's okay with you, would you give me one more day?
There is a park on a hill.
I want to take pictures of you there at dusk.
Probably no, right?
- With pleasure. - Really?
We've spent a long time together, and I think...
a man who is really into something he likes...
is very attractive.
I'm really happy that a man like you, Mr. Mori...
takes my pictures so beautifully.
Today's photography will be the best in my life.
In addition, my first love from 10 years ago had returned.
I was in an extremely happy mood.
Great.
What's this?
There was nothing wrong with the camera.
But all of Tomie's photographs from dozens of rolls...
were wrong.
Every single one of them.
Did you finish developing the film?
Let me see.
Ouch!
Sorry!
Every single picture is like this.
Nothing is wrong with my camera.
Who are you?
The woman standing at the park...
was you, wasn't it?
What does it mean?
The reason you haven't grown old since then is...
because you are a ghost, isn't it?
Why are you saying such a terrible thing?
I posed for the pictures for you.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Because I appeared like this in the pictures...
you don't like me anymore?
What the hell are you?!
- I am Tomie. - Let go of me!
You feel... my pulse, don't you?
You see? I am not a ghost.
I can't tell from that!
Don't worry, Mr. Mori.
There is a sure way to prove I am alive.
You should try to kill me.
If I am a ghost, I won't die, will I?
I like you a lot, Mr. Mori.
Go ahead.
You can prove it.
Stop...
Please, stop it.
Tomie proved it to me by sacrificing herself.
That isn't the dead body of a ghost.
Then who really is Tomie?
I felt awful.
I shouldn't have come back here.
Whoever Tomie is...
I couldn't be involved with the police.
I wanted to throw the body away as soon as possible...
and I wanted to leave this town as soon as possible.
That's all I could think about.
People in this town probably saw me...
and remember me taking pictures of Tomie.
If I don't take care of this body, I will be in huge trouble.
I was waiting for you for a long time.
This is it. This is it.
Help me!
She must be jealous, because you are only shooting me.
You should take pictures of that Tomie, too.
What are you talking about? What the hell are you?
I am Tomie.
Then who is she?
She is Tomie too.
Who is the real Tomie?!
We both are the real Tomie.
TOMIE
TOMIE: THIRD STORY
I'm sorry I'm late. I stopped somewhere.
Don't worry.
You are only a minute late.
I don't want to waste even one minute of a date with you, Tomie.
Did any strange men come on to you?
- Some. But I refused them all. - Really?
You are the only man I love, Mr. Yasuda.
Where did you stop?
About that, I have something important to tell you.
- This is a beautiful park. - Yeah.
- Do you want to sit down? - Okay.
Mr. Yasuda.
I've never loved someone this much before.
I want you to marry me.
But it's been only one month since we've met.
It doesn't matter. I need you, Tomie.
Will you marry me?
- What are you doing?! - Tomie...
Hurry!
I think he is gone now.
Are you all right?
He must be some street pervert.
Maybe we should report that to the police.
Just run away. Is that it?
He tried to stab me all of a sudden.
He tried to kill me. But Mr. Yasuda...
Do you just run away? Is that it?
Well, I wasn't thinking about him.
I was only worrying about you, Tomie.
Don't you love me?
Of course, I love you.
Then you must hate him, right?
Yeah, I do. But...
Then go back there and kill him now.
What are you talking about?
I want you to prove your feelings for me, Mr. Yasuda.
This is a present from me.
Here.
Protect me with this from now on.
If we see him again...
prove your love for me with this.
Why are you so afraid of him?
Did something happen with him?
There is no way I knew that fucking pervert!
What are you going to do?
If you can't promise me this, I can't be with you anymore.
Okay.
I promise.
Mr. Yasuda...
I believe in you.
Yasuda.
What do you want?
I want to talk.
Don't come near us ever again.
Just listen.
Shut up. Go away!
Don't.
Don't!
I won't hurt you.
I'm sorry I was rough earlier.
Please stay like that for a while.
After you listen to me, I will let you go.
Fuck you. Who would believe a street pervert's story?
I see.
I'll tell you something. The girl you are dating...
is a monster, much worse than a street pervert.
Do you have a grudge against Tomie?
Were you dumped by her and now are stalking her?
I will introduce myself.
My name is Oota.
I used to be a coroner for the police.
Coroner?
Two years ago...
a girl was killed, and her body was found by the police.
From her belongings, we found that her name was Tomie Kawakami.
I was on duty that night...
so I went to see the body immediately.
Her body was stabbed...
a few times with a sharp knife, and she died from bleeding.
Tomie was dead.
- That's bullshit! - Shut up and listen!
When we don't have a suspect...
first we have to check the body...
and try to find any trace the suspect left on her.
My partner happened to be outside of the room...
so I was the only one who saw the scene.
I couldn't believe it.
Tomie was dead for sure.
Tomie stabbed my eye...
and she disappeared.
Are you crazy or something?
My colleagues said the same thing.
None of the policemen believed me either.
On the contrary, they blamed me for losing the body...
and they fired me.
They said I was a pervert, stealing a homicide victim.
"Can't live with the thief of a dead body."
My wife left me with our kids.
I couldn't prove the truth, so I couldn't stop her.
I was furious.
Well, that's not your business.
Anyway, I wanted to know about the girl, Tomie.
So I started to research.
These are autopsy reports of murder victims.
The newest one is from the middle of this year.
The oldest one is from more than 10 years ago.
They all happened in different places in Japan.
And all those victims were young girls.
Look, there are seven reports here.
It means there were seven victims.
But...
the teeth marks and fingerprints of all seven...
are all the same.
And all of the girls have the same name.
You know what name it is.
Tomie is not a human being.
She is a monster who comes back from the dead.
On top of that, every time she revives, she splits up...
and she multiplies.
While I was in the town, where she was killed...
I saw several girls who looked exactly like Tomie.
We can't let the monster run free.
You really are crazy.
If you knew she doesn't stay dead, why did you attack her?
I have my own theory, you know.
The police don't do anything.
So I have to destroy Tomie my own way.
Fuck you! I will kill you!
I will tell you one more important thing.
All the murderers who killed Tomie...
were the men who fell in love with her.
If you don't want to ruin yourself, stay away from her forever.
That's what I want to say to you!
Well, you will understand someday.
This is my contact information.
You can contact me anytime you are in trouble.
OOTA
- Yes? - Mr. Yasuda?
Where are you?
You are so late, much later than one minute.
D on't you want to see me?
I'm sorry. I will be there soon. I have something to tell you.
I know Oota's telephone number.
- Let's go and tell the police. - Are you stupid?
Did you forget the promise you made me?
- I told you to kill him. - But...
You broke the promise. I'm disappointed.
It's not like that.
Wait.
Get out of my way. I've lost interest in you.
Please wait. I can't live without you.
Then die.
Have you already made up your mind?
Don't make me tell you more. Get out of my way.
I'm the only one who can make you happy.
Are you kidding?
I'll be happier if I'm married to a dog or a cat over you.
Just go away right now and don't come back.
It's Oota.
What should I do?
What happened?
I just killed Tomie.
I didn't want to kill her.
I understand. Calm down.
I will take care of you.
Listen. Calm down and do what I say.
Where is Tomie?
When did you kill her?
About two hours ago.
If that's so, we don't have to rush.
She has never come back to life in two hours.
Is that...
Yeah. We will put Tomie in it and burn her to ashes.
I think that is the only way to stop her from returning.
No way. She's already back?
No. You shouldn't expect me to ever kill Tomie.
Did you lie to me?
Sorry.
But I have to prove my love to Tomie.
Mr. Yasuda.
Give me his dead body as a present.
Now! Don't be afraid.
Aim for his heart.
Tomie, I love you!
Did you break your leg?
It's better than being under her spell.
It ends today.
You must be tired of being killed and revived.
Are you so scared of me?
I'm not scared of you.
You are strong.
I like a strong man like you.
Don't you think he is in our way?
I want to be alone with you.
Please get rid of him.
Fuck you.
I am yours now.
Stop it.
Stop it!
What's wrong?
You have to stab me deeper than that.
I like you, Mr. Oota.
I love you.
I like you. I like you a lot.
I love you.
Yasuda, look!
As I thought...
even a monster can't survive a cremation.
The other Tomies, who multiplied all over Japan...
I will burn all of them!
What's going on?
You are so damn stupid.
That's unfortunate.
Even if you kill me, bury me...
or cut me into tiny pieces, I will be me again.
Each tiny particle from this ash...
will be reborn as a new me.
No way. It shouldn't...
Tomie is alive.
Tomie is alive!
