THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT HOGUSUDO FOR PROVIDING US WITH THIS FOOTAGE
How much longer?
Seriously.
Filmed by director Hiromatsu Aoyama.
The Hogusudo company trip journey.
Wait, "company trip journey" sounds redundant.
Huh? How so?
It's like saying, "My headache aches."
I don't get it.
Are you having fun?
Totally!
It's fun isn't it, Joe-san?
I feel carsick.
That's a song about a train.
Who cares?
Come on. Sing along, Joe-san.
Sensei, Joe-kun is about to throw up.
Why is Madam Eco so annoying?
And she smells of pickles.
Pickles? More like a towel after mopping up milk.
You're terrible!
Don't be mean, she was kind enough to invite us to a hot spring.
O-K.
Isn't this recording? That's not good.
Milk reminds me of cows.
Cows remind me of steak.
Steak reminds me of...
-Are you okay? -I feel a bit better.
-Drink this. -No thanks.
I'm getting sick too.
Are you okay?
Maybe we should've left him behind.
The purpose of this trip is for Joe-san to have a rest.
More like, why are you guys here?
Plus, you're wearing suits.
You can wear a suit any time, they're truly multi-purpose.
What was I going to say? Oh, yes...
Senpai and I want to go to a hot spring too. Right?
A stickler would say how perfect it is our vacations coincide.
I'll film you.
On TV shows, they go to hot springs on the 5th episode to shake things up.
Maybe the 6th episode.
I know what you mean.
At the inn, a man and a woman...
suddenly become very intimate.
Or you meet someone at your destination.
Guys, let's enjoy the trip!
No, don't throw up right now.
So this is the place, huh?
"Hogusudo party + 2." This is it.
Well, how can I put it...
Antique-looking.
Traditional.
About to collapse...
Hello. We're from Hogusudo.
Hello.
Welcome to our inn.
This fell down.
It happens a lot.
Thank you.
Please come in.
Your room is upstairs.
Are we the only guests here?
Yes, that's right.
Then I'd really like my own room.
Madam Eco must've booked just one room to save money.
I found a shortcut.
How was that a shortcut?
It's a shortcut.
I feel sick.
There's something spooky about this inn.
There might be a ghost.
Don't say that.
What if we see one?
Just kidding!
Ta-dah. I brought some homemade snacks.
Seriously?
And one has mustard, so let's play Russian roulette.
Money, you really like traveling, don't you?
Hey, there's a strange object in the hallway.
What is it?
I want to see it.
I feel sick.
I want to throw up.
Why is a salmon holding a bear in its mouth?
It's ruined!
Joe! How could you do such a terrible thing?
You ruined my fun!
It wasn't me.
You were the only one here!
Hey, the camera's still recording.
All right, play the video. We might find evidence.
We were all shocked.
Did you see that?
What was that?
Could it have been...
a ghost?
Of course it wasn't.
It must have been a white cloth that belongs to this inn.
Your snack moved on its own.
I don't care!
Hey, stop filming!
All right. Let's settle down.
Let's go...
take a bath!
Let's go!
I'm going out.
It's cold!
Recording: Adventure at the inn.
First, I'll get some coffee milk. Where will I find it?
Huh?
I'm scared! I'm scared!
Get out!
I'm sorry!
A ghost! A ghost!
Yeah, yeah, stop lying.
I'm serious.
Nothing here.
I saw a white ghost.
Yeah, I'm sure!
Ow!
My head hurts.
Huh? What's wrong?
Are you all right?
Maybe something weird is going on.
I told you, I saw a ghost.
Ghosts don't exist!
Wait, it might be in the video again.
That was totally real.
That's impossible.
But humans can't move like that.
She was on a skateboard or something.
Wait, where's Tokichi-san?
He said he had a headache, so he went to buy a drink.
Excuse me.
May I help you?
Well, um...
Is there something strange at this inn?
What do you mean by "strange"?
Well, you know...
Just spit it out.
So it appeared.
What do you mean?
This is not good.
What do you mean?
It's the ghost again.
A poltergeist trips the circuit breaker.
Let me change this to night vision.
Okay, I can see now.
Good, I can see.
Yozo-san?
What's going on?
Are you Yozo-san?
Who is that?
It's Tokichi-san.
But he seems strange.
I've waited for you for so long.
Cut it out.
I've been waiting for you.
Yozo...
...san!
He's choking him! Joe-san, do something.
I can't see.
He's choking him! No!
No!
You're not Yozo-san!
He's passed out. Like he was possessed.
I'm scared.
No! Now it's Hiromatsu-san!
What is he doing?
He's passed out.
Oh my gosh! Now it's Tiger!
Yozo-san.
Yozo-san!
He's gone.
The ghost sometimes possesses people when it gets dark.
One guest got possessed and was about to jump from the building and die.
But we caught him in time.
This is dangerous.
We'll be all right if there's light?
They only possess you in the dark.
We must get the lights back on.
Then please do that.
I'm sorry, but could I ask you to do it?
Why us?
I'm scared!
I'm really scared.
Are we going? This way?
Money-san, please go first.
Something moved!
It's just the curtain.
Don't scream.
I can't believe this is happening.
Why do I have to go?
You're a cop! If you're so scared, you shouldn't have come.
Staying in the room is scary too.
And we have to rescue Tiger.
What's that?
Do you hear something?
Is it Tiger?
Tiger?
I'm suffering.
My head hurts really bad.
-I understand. -Help me.
Help me!
Wait. Just wait.
You're useless.
Yozo-san.
He called me useless.
Are you okay?
He called me useless.
-Don't worry. -He called me useless.
You're not useless.
Which way did Tiger-san go?
I don't know, but let's fix the circuit breaker first.
-Where is the breaker? -I don't know.
It's this way. I can't see so give me the camera.
You can see better with it, right?
I can't see a thing now.
-Are we really going? -Watch your step.
Let's go back.
It's pitch black down here.
Hold on. Which way do we go?
Which way?
-It's this way. -Really?
I'm positive.
-This way? -I've seen this.
Are you sure?
Thank god.
This isn't it.
Let's open the door.
This is it.
Okay. Let's open it.
Hurry, there's a ghost!
Just come here!
Wait. What's going on?
You're being a wimp!
Come on, how could I not be afraid?
-There was something there. -I don't know.
Hold on. Could someone look outside the door?
You should go, Money-san.
No way. You go, Joe.
No! You go, Money-san.
-Go, Money. -You go, Aguri.
Please. Go take a look.
Why does it have to be me?
You're really going?
I don't have a choice.
-Will she be okay? -Be careful.
-I'm opening the door. -Okay.
It was right in front of me!
You've got to be kidding me.
What now? We're stuck in this damn place.
Is there something we can use?
How about this?
We'll be able to see.
Is it there?
No. Of course not.
Oh, good.
Wait for us, Money!
Wait. Money-san!
Are you all right?
Seriously?
It's just the two of us now.
Why did Madam Eco make us come here?
He's full of bad energy already?
He did have to solve a couple of cases in a row.
That hot spring has strong feng shui energy.
That man also visited the inn many times.
That inn is a bit problematic.
I hope everything goes well.
Because today is a special day for Joe.
I wonder where Tiger went.
He was saying "Yozo-san."
Stop that.
I think he's looking for someone.
Exactly.
Who is that?
I've been unable to move after the blackout.
Like you said, the ghost in this inn is waiting for her lover.
Her lover?
In the late 20s, a man and a woman were having an affair.
The two would meet secretly at this inn.
One day, the man left a farewell letter and never returned.
The woman committed suicide in this inn.
Ever since, the woman has been searching for the man in vain.
And that man is Yozo-san?
Yes. I also...
have seen the ghost. She seemed to be in great pain.
So every time a man visits this inn, she approaches thinking it's Yozo-san?
Yes!
Plus, she sometimes tries to kill people by possessing them.
Why?
To take out her anger?
Perhaps she doesn't understand why she has to suffer so much.
She seems to be randomly taking people with her.
Then isn't Tiger in danger?
He didn't look well at all.
But we can't find him in the dark, so let's go turn the lights on.
Yeah, go do that. Go.
Make it quick.
She's creepy.
Where is it?
This is it.
Tiger-san?
Huh?
What am I doing?
Did the ghost leave his body?
Yozo-san?
I have a headache because of you.
Make it stop.
I am not Yozo-san.
Yozo-san?
Where are you?
Yozo-san!
She can't see even though she's wearing glasses?
That's it.
Well, the cause of the ghost's headache...
You've realized something?
Then let's do it.
-Do what? -A massage.
On the ghost?
Massage a ghost?
The ghost is sleeping.
Concentrate.
Kikai, Chukan, Danchu, Taiyo, Indo.
Shishinso.
I will begin now.
You can touch her?
Yes, but she's cold.
Oh, I could just die!
I've unraveled the mystery.
There was a mystery?
This person has been suffering while she's been waiting for her lover.
That is, from headaches.
Yes.
I've been quite distressed that he hasn't come to see me.
No, you suffer from actual headaches.
The cause is those glasses.
Those glasses aren't right for you.
That is the supernatural phenomenon's pressure point.
The ghost's glasses aren't right for her?
Yes.
Wearing glasses that are too strong can cause eye fatigue and headaches.
When I pressed the pressure points Tenchu and Fuchi,
I realized your headaches were coming from your eyes.
You wear glasses, but you can't see very well.
So whenever someone comes, you squint and go close to them.
Of course, your longing for your lover is also causing you pain.
But to get rid of your physical pain, you need to take off your glasses.
My glasses?
That would cure my headaches?
Yes.
The man named Yozo-san has probably died by now.
Yozo-san is not coming here.
He's probably in the afterlife.
The afterlife...
Yes.
So you'll never find him even if you search here.
If you wish to be free from your pain, please take off your glasses.
How is it?
I come from a poor family.
I studied hard in order to survive in this world.
From an early age, I would study by candle light.
That gave me bad eyesight.
I started to live in a fuzzy world.
One day, I bumped into a passerby.
And the glasses he was wearing fell on the ground.
He said that if I have bad eyesight, I should wear his glasses.
And he gave them to me.
I was able to see so much better with the glasses.
And that man standing in front of me was...
Yozo-san.
So these belong to Yozo-san.
Naturally, they aren't right for me.
My vision is blurry without the glasses,
but I feel somewhat liberated now.
I massaged your Tenchu and Fuchi.
It should ease the pain.
I think it has.
I see a fuzzy glow over there.
I'll go see what's over there.
Please do so.
Thank you so much.
Who would've imagined that you'd massage a ghost?
I'm surprised myself.
I would've never thought I'd get possessed.
That was a first.
It's unbelievable.
Wait, why is this guy crying?
I might have been possessed,
but still, I can't believe that I disrespected my senior.
You called me useless.
Well, what's done is done.
Hey. We can finally eat.
Yes!
What? Not again.
Happy birthday, Joe-san.
It's your birthday?
It's a nice gesture from Madam Eco.
You scared me for a second.
We're going to party tonight!
All right, let's drink!
Bring us tequila. You're drinking, Joe.
No thanks.
Come on, we're going to have a blast tonight.
Are you stupid?
Joe-san has to blow out the candles first.
You're right.
Here we go. Ready, and...
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Joe-san.
Happy birthday to you!
Rest in peace.
EIFU, CHUSHO: PRESSURE POINT FOR RELIEVING RINGING IN THE EARS
THIS DRAMA IS FICTION THE EFFECTS OF MASSAGE VARY
I couldn't help myself.
One of you is the killer.
What?
What have I done?
That's a bad sign!
That's this case's pressure point.
The night is still young!
