SILENT HILL 2 STORY PREVIEW

An opening movie featuring many images and various speculative situations 
that do not appear in the main part of the game.  Spoken dialogue is added 
once the game is cleared.

====

01  Maria speaks to James from the other side of the bars.  For some 
reason she seems to possess the memories of his wife, who is supposedly 
dead, and yet...

02  James and Maria hold a conversation through the bars.  James is 
confused by the fact that Maria has Mary's memories.

03  Light streams in through the window of the vacant sickroom.  It appears 
to be the same as Mary's sickroom, which is seen in the endings.

04  Countless objects are sucked into a "hole" at tremendous speed.  This
image does not appear in the main part of the game.

05  A strange creature lurks in the innermost darkness.  It is also a vision 
that represents what lies hidden in the depths of peoples' hearts.

06  A light shines into the vacant private room, as if searching for 
something.  Could the shadows of bars indicate that this is a prison cell?

07  James stares at his reflection in the mirror in the observation deck's
restroom.  This is the scene that leads into the story.

08  When Mary visited Silent Hill with James three years ago, James made a 
video tape recording.

09  James wanders through a place that resembles a prison holding a woman
in his arms.  Could this scene which doesn't appear in the main part of the 
game be an image from James' mind?

10  As in 08, an image from the recording that was made three years ago.  
Mary likes the location of Silent Hill very much.

11  Maria meets James again in the hospital's otherworld.  She becomes 
angry at being mistaken for Mary and vehemently presses James to explain 
himself.  

12  James encounters Angela for the first time in the cemetery.  She stares 
suspiciously at James, who is using the trail to pass though to the town.

13  As the light is suddenly directed onto him in the underground 
prison, Eddie loses his cool.  His agitated expression betrays his
consciousness of his crime.

14  James meets Laura again on the way to the park.  She clearly harbors
some animosity towards him.

15  Lying in front of a mirror, Angela gazes with vacant eyes at the 
kitchen knife that she holds in her hand.  She entrusts James with the 
knife before she leaves.

16  Eddie puts the gun muzzle to his temple.  Like 13, this is the scene 
in which he encounters James in the prison.

17  Laura gives Eddie a kick while he sits on the street.  This scene
indicates that the two of them met by chance on the way to Silent Hill.

18  Maria speaks to James from the other side of the bars.  Like 01, this 
is an image from the scene in which she meets James again in a passageway
in the labyrinth.

19  In contrast with 04, this time a large quantity of something is 
ejected out of a hole.  The objects seem to resemble mannequins and body 
parts.

20  A close-up of a "mouth" that writhes bizarrely.  It belongs to a being 
that portends of Mary, the "flesh lip."

21  Eddie vomits into the toilet.  He appeals to James to believe that he 
hasn't killed anyone.

22  Maria lies sprawled on the stage at Heaven's Night.  Although this
image doesn't appear in the main part of the game, she possesses a key
to this establishment.

23  Laura visits Mary's room.  She enters tentatively while assessing the 
situation.  Who could be there that she has set her eyes upon?

24  Reaching through the gap in the bars, Maria touches James' cheek and
says, "See?  I'm real."
