After a dream where he helps the dying Mimiko with an inhaler, he wakes in a hospital where a possessed Yumi feeds him a candy with her mouth and smiles, revealing that Mimiko has found "a new Nanako" in Yamashita to care for. When Yamashita arrives, he finds Yumi normal, but is stabbed by her when they embrace, and sees Yumi appearing as Mimiko in the mirror. Yumi is haunted by Mimiko in her home, playing out the same events her voicemail showed. Nanako tells Yamashita that she would get a candy from Mimiko if she stayed silent. Marie found out the truth and rushed Nanako to the hospital, leaving Mimiko to die. The tape shows her cutting Nanako, then suffering an asthma attack. The Mizunuma videotape that Yamashita found reveals that Marie did not abuse her children instead, Mimiko abused her sister. Yumi goes home and Yamashita visits Nanako at the orphanage. She tearfully embraces her, apologizing for leaving, and Marie's body returns to a corpse. It comes to life and Yumi sees her own abusive mother in Marie. After the minute elapses, Yamashita uncovers a crate holding Marie's body. Yamashita finds an arm clutching an active cellphone, and stops its call. Her cell messages her that she will die in one minute. At the abandoned hospital, Yumi is haunted by the spirit of Mimiko. Yumi gets the cursed voicemail and reveals to Yamashita that her mother abused her as a child.Īt an orphanage, Yamashita meets Nanako, who is unable to talk, but has a teddy bear that plays the same song as the ringtone. Yumi's friend Natsumi also becomes a victim and dies. They suspect Munchausen syndrome by proxy, where a parent purposely makes a child sick so she can take care of her and be praised for it. Ritsuko's journal shows that whenever Mimiko had an attack, her sister Nanako would suffer some injury at the same time. They trace the autopsy records to a girl named Mimiko Mizunuma who had died from an asthma attack, with her mother Marie going missing. Yumi recognizes a sound she heard before Kenji's death: a spritz from an asthma inhaler. Their investigation leads them to a hospital which has since changed its building and number. Yamashita shares that the next victim is called one minute after the previous death, and that the victims have red jawbreakers in their mouths. Yumi meets Hiroshi Yamashita, a detective who has been investigating the curse that also claimed his sister Ritsuko.
Kenji dies and a red jawbreaker candy falls out of his mouth as his phone dials another number by itself. Yoko's boyfriend Kenji Kawai tells Yumi he got a voicemail from himself dated two days after. Although authorities assume suicide, her schoolmates recall similar deaths that were preceded by voicemails. Yoko screams as she is violently thrown off an overpass onto a speeding train her severed hand is seen dialing a number. Two days later, Yumi receives a call from Yoko and realizes that Yoko is on the same routine as the voicemail. She and her friend Yumi Nakamura listen to Yoko's voice message, dated two days into the future, where she says it's starting to rain, followed by a horrendous scream.
