Takeo Saeki is struck by uncontrollable rage when he learns that Kayako is in love with a man named Shunsuke Kobayashi, Toshio's school teacher and Kayako's first love back in college.

Takeo Saeki becomes obsessed with the idea that Kayako is cheating on him and Toshio is Kobayashi's child.

Takeo Saeki then calls Kobayashi by using the bloody phone booth, saying he would be leaving him to raise Toshio because he thought 'up until now, he had raised him in his place'.

From that day on, the Takeo Saeki house becomes an infamous landmark.

Takeo Saeki still killed Kayako and Toshio, but did not become an onryo, as his fate afterward is not revealed.

Takeo Saeki fiercely told Kobayashi, whom he hated, that as Toshio was his son, he could now have him instead of himself, Takeo Saeki.

Takeo Saeki then revealed to Kobayashi that he had a female baby, and then proceeded to smash her fetus onto the metal poles on the street, scaring off two pedestrians, and he eventually collapsed onto some garbage bags.

Takeo Saeki then looks up to see his son, Toshio, watching him.

At one point, Takeo Saeki, is carving strange symbols onto a window, and at another point he is carving the walls with a penknife, while a frightened Lisa encourages Rose to run for it.

Takeo Saeki tells Lisa that Rose has to drink Kayako's blood, as Rose's innocence is the only thing which can stop Kayako's evil - and therefore Takeo's.

Just then, Takeo Saeki is banished from Max's body and mind, and therefore Takeo Saeki's curse comes to an end.
