This anime is a work of fiction and has no relation to any actual person or organization. The medical
procedures and equipment used in the show may vary from what is used to treat individual symptoms.
[00:09] Takao
Mental traits often said to be
facets of analytical ability
[00:12] Takao
are, in reality, barely analyzable.
[00:15] Takao
We can only judge the level
of such abilities from the results they produce.
[00:18] Takao
All we really know is that those
who can harness the power of analysis
[00:22] Takao
find it to be their most
exhilarating source of enjoyment.

as well as dangerously
elevating intracranial pressure.
[06:38] Takao

But since his vision wasn't
improving like you'd hoped,
[07:00] Takao
you started going over
the recommended amount.
[07:03] Takao
Am I wrong?
[07:04] Momoka
Well, yes, you're right.
[07:07] Takao
That's the source of the problem.

won't make his eyesight better.
[07:25] Takao
Follow instructions to the letter.
[07:28] Takao
Stop giving him vitamin A
and the symptoms will clear up quickly.
[07:34] Takao
Good grief.
[07:35] Takao
I'm amazed a parent would feed their kid
so much to make their symptoms that bad.
[07:42] Takao
Kotori, write them a referral to
the Pediatric Outpatient Department.
[07:45] Yu
Right.
[07:56] Takao
Is that his cane?
[07:58] Mai
Huh? Oh, yes.
[08:00] Takao
You ate a fish you caught
as sashimi today, didn't you?
[08:03] Takao
Maybe it was mackerel, aji,
sardine, medina, seabream—
[08:07] Man A
S-Sardine.
[08:10] Takao
I thought so.
[08:11] Mai
Huh?
[08:12] Takao
It's anisakiasis.
[08:14] Mai
Anisakiasis? You mean
he's infected with a parasite?
[08:18] Takao
Yup.
[08:19] Takao
Kotori.
[08:20] Yu
Yes?
[08:21] Takao
Contact Gastroenterology.
[08:22] Yu
Understood.
[08:25] Takao
They'll do an endoscope, remove
the parasite, and the pain will subside.
[08:29] Mai
Um, how did you know it was anisakiasis?
[08:32] Takao
I deduced it from his symptoms
and my observations.
[08:35] Takao
It didn't look like appendicitis
or gastroenteritis from his chart.
[08:40] Takao
Looking at his tan, you can tell he spends
much of the day outside with a hat on.
[08:45] Mai
That's true.
[08:46] Takao
Considering his age and that cane,
it's hard to believe he's capable of a job
[08:50] Takao
that requires him to be outdoors
for long periods of time.
[08:54] Takao
Because of that, I figured he must
have a hobby you can do sitting down.
[08:56] Man A
A bite!
[08:59] Takao
On top of that, he has a small injury
at the base of his left forefinger.
[09:05] Takao
It's easy for anglers to get an injury like that
when removing hooks from their catch.
[09:10] Takao
In other words,
that man was fishing near the sea,
[09:12] Takao
and ate one he caught
because he was hungry.
[09:16] Takao
As sashimi.
[09:18] Takao
The severe abdominal pains started
because anisakiasis entered his stomach,
[09:22] Takao
and latched onto his gastric wall.
And that explains that.
[09:28] Mai
You're so cool, Dr. Takao!
[09:32] Yu
I had a physician from Gastroenterology
take over the endoscopy.
[09:35] Takao
Good.
[09:36] Takao
We'll begin our study session
on time as planned.
[09:39] Yu

You don't plan on talking, huh?

No, no. I didn't say anything of the sort.

severed the victim's leg?

it must've been bitten off by an animal.

Still, this is such a big park.
[22:30] Naruse
I'm sure there's a wild dog
or two roaming around in it.
[22:33] Takao
A wild dog?
[22:35] Yu
The wound indicated a fang size
greater than five centimeters.
[22:39] Yu
And a dog wouldn't be able
to bite off a human leg.
[22:42] Takao
That was a wound made
by a stupidly massive carnivore.

Where in the world would you
find such a large creature?
[22:50] Sakurai
Are you telling us you know

Yeah. I know.
[22:59] Takao
It lived on the island continent of Laramidia
during the Maastrichtian Age,
[23:03] Takao
and its name means "tyrant" in Latin.
[23:07] Takao
Isn't it amazing?

A good 66 million years ago,
this creature roamed the Earth.
[23:17] Yu
You don't mean...

That's right. This is the massive
carnivore that bit off the victim's leg.

[01:44] Sakurai
there was a positive luminol reaction

[01:49] Sakurai
The wound on the victim's leg
also matched its dental profile.
[01:52] Sakurai
It's safe to conclude the Tyrannosaurus Rex
severed the victim's leg.

See? Just like I said!
[02:01] Yu
Stop that. It's bad manners.
[02:02] Sakurai
Still, how did you know that Tyrannosaurus
Rex was to blame for the leg wound?
[02:08] Takao
I deduced it from the phenomenon itself
and my own observations.
[02:11] Takao
From the wound, I determined that a very
large creature must have bitten off his leg.
[02:17] Takao
However, there aren't too many
very large creatures in existence today.
[02:21] Takao
We're too far from the sea for him

So this man named Manabe
called the emergency services?
[04:01] Sakurai
No, no.

The doctor of a nearby clinic made the call.

Doctor?

There's a privately-owned clinic

was a member of the yakuza.
[08:26] Takao
Isn't that right?

The police believe the yakuza
took Kumade's life in revenge.

[10:32] Takao
Yup. The victim's blood.
[10:35] Naruse
What?
[10:36] Sakurai
Hold on a moment.
[10:37] Sakurai
Are you telling us Kumade was dragged
all the way here? For what purpose?
[10:42] Takao
The reason is the
biggest clue to this mystery.
[10:46] Takao
And...
[10:49] Takao
This blood will lead us to the answer.

[11:15] Yu
Dr. Takao?
[11:25] Yu
What's wrong?
[11:42] (Flashback) Paramedic A
We found him with
his lower left leg severed.
[11:44] (Flashback) Yu
It looks like his leg's been
bitten off by an animal.
[11:45] (Flashback) Naruse
The Metropolitan Police's 4th Division
is making a nuisance of themselves.
[11:46] (Flashback) Sakurai
He was seen entering
the building of a known gang.
[11:47] (Flashback) Naruse
Are you saying the skeleton moved
on its own and bit off the victim's leg?
[11:49] (Flashback) Takao
The lock on the
back door was broken.
[11:50] (Flashback) Yu
The Nerima shooting!
[12:03] Takao
That was pretty interesting.
[12:05] Yu
Huh?
[12:05] Naruse
Huh?
[12:07] Takao
Why was his blood blue?
[12:11] Takao
How did his leg come to be bitten off
by the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
[12:17] Takao
For this mystery...
[12:19] Takao
Let me give you my diagnosis.

[12:55] Sakurai
Good evening.
[12:56] Sakurai
What a surprise meeting you here.
[13:00] Naruse
I can't believe he really came.
[13:03] Sakurai
Now, would you kindly explain
all of this to us, Dr. Ameku?
[13:08] Takao
No problem.
[13:10] Takao
We need to consider every event
carefully in order to solve this case.
[13:16] Takao
The body with blue blood.
[13:18] Takao
The leg bitten off by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
[13:21] Takao
The Nerima shooting.
[13:23] Takao
The blue stain in the storage room.
[13:25] Takao
The big picture begins to form
once you put those events together.
[13:29] Takao
Isn't that right...
[13:30] Takao
Director Hachisuka?
[13:35] Takao
First and foremost, we should focus
on why the victim's blood was blue.
[13:41] Takao
Though the phenomenon itself
isn't that strange.
[13:43] Takao
Kotori.
[13:44] Yu
Yes?
[13:45] Takao
What condition would you suspect first
if a patient's blood is blue?
[13:50] Yu
Condition? Hm, a disease that
makes your blood blue, huh?
[13:54] Yu
Oh. Methemoglobinemia.
[13:57] Takao
That's right.
[13:59] Sakurai
What kind of condition is that?
[14:01] Yu
It's a disorder where the hemoglobin in
red blood cells get oxidized and turn blue,
[14:05] Yu
impeding the normal transport of oxygen.
[14:08] Yu
Symptoms include difficulty breathing
and impaired consciousness.
[14:12] Yu
In extreme cases, it can lead to death.
[14:15] Naruse
So Kumade was inflicted
with that disorder?
[14:17] Takao
To be exact, something happened
to cause methemoglobinemia
[14:21] Takao
in the short hours between
the shooting and his death.
[14:25] Naruse
"Something"?
[14:27] Takao
After shooting the rival gang's number two,
he was hit by a bullet in return and fled.
[14:33] Takao
What would a guy like that do next?
[14:36] Sakurai
Seek medical help?
[14:38] Takao
That's right.
[14:40] Takao
Methemoglobinemia usually shows up as
a symptom after being poisoned by something,
[14:45] Takao
but it can occasionally be caused
by drugs like procaine and lidocaine.
[14:49] Naruse
What are those?
[14:51] Yu
Local anesthetics.
[14:53] Yu
Kumade showed signs of methemoglobinemia
after receiving local anesthetics,
[14:57] Yu
and died from lack of oxygen.
[14:59] Yu
Am I right?
[15:00] Takao
Yeah.
[15:02] Sakurai
But Kumade didn't just
suddenly die in a hospital.
[15:06] Takao
This wouldn't even be a case
if he'd gone to a proper hospital.
[15:10] Sakurai
What do you mean?
[15:12] Takao
Kumade didn't have a normal injury.
He was shot in a gunfight.
[15:17] Takao
The bullet was still in his body.
[15:20] Sakurai
I see. He would've been found out
if he'd gone to a proper facility.
[15:25] Sakurai
That's why he had to go to
a corrupt medical institution.
[15:28] Sakurai
In other words, an underground doctor.
[15:30] Takao
That's right.
[15:32] Takao
Hachisuka Clinic is a clinic that
caters to those in organized crime.
[15:40] Takao
During the procedure, this man must have
used a large amount of local anesthetics.
[15:45] Takao
As a result, Kumade
exhibited methemoglobinemia,
[15:48] Takao
and immediately fell
into a perilous condition.
[15:51] Takao
But fearing others would discover
he was an underground doctor,
[15:54] Takao
he didn't take Kumade
to a fully equipped hospital.
[15:58] Takao
That's why he went to the
museum to continue treatment.
[16:03] Sakurai
That's the part I don't understand.
[16:06] Sakurai
Why sneak a dying patient into a museum?
[16:10] Takao
It had drugs that could treat him.
[16:12] Sakurai
Drugs?
[16:13] Takao
Kotori, tell them how
methemoglobinemia is treated.
[16:18] Yu
Huh? Um, oxygen therapy?
[16:21] Takao
That's just treating the symptoms.
[16:25] Takao
In order to properly treat him,
[16:27] Takao
you'd need a medicine that turns
methemoglobin back into hemoglobin.
[16:31] Yu
Um, that'd be...
[16:31] Takao
Good grief. You should know this
as a doctor of internal medicine.
[16:39] Naruse
That's Kumade's blood?
[16:40] Takao
Nope. This is what would have
saved him: methylene blue.
[16:45] Naruse
Methylene blue?
[16:47] Takao
This aqueous solution
has a strong reducing effect
[16:50] Takao
that can treat methemoglobinemia
when taken orally or intravenously.
[16:56] Sakurai
Hold on a second.
[16:58] Sakurai
Why would something
like that be in a museum?
[17:01] Takao
Methylene blue is also
used to treat pathogens
[17:04] Takao
that cause white spot disease
and water mold on fish.
[17:08] Sakurai
Fish?
[17:10] Takao
You know a lot about tropical fish.
[17:13] (Flashback) Takao
Yellow tang, blue tang, bluestreak
cleaner wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse.
[17:17] (Flashback) Hachisuka
Huh? Tropical fish?
[17:20] Takao
You realized a museum that takes care
of so many fish must have methylene blue.

This man tried to treat Kumade
by making him drink methylene blue.
[17:42] Takao
But he was already dead, wasn't he?
[17:48] Takao
You panicked and spilled
the methylene blue on the floor.
[17:50] Hachisuka
Hey! Hey!
[17:53] Takao
That's why there's a blue stain
on the floor in the storage room.
[17:56] Sakurai
Then, how'd he get his leg bitten off
by the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
[18:00] Takao
Put yourself in this guy's shoes.
[18:03] Takao
If the body had been left as it was, it would've
been obvious he'd received medical help.
[18:07] Sakurai
That's true.
[18:08] Takao
He severed the leg with the
bullet wound to hide the evidence.
[18:14] Yu
So Kumade must have
been shot in the left leg.
[18:17] Naruse
But severing a human leg isn't easy.
[18:21] Takao
You're absolutely right.
[18:23] Takao
And of course, he couldn't use
proper tools to do it, either.
[18:26] Takao
He wanted to make it impossible to tell
that someone had tried to treat the leg.
[18:30] Takao
He could only sever the leg forcefully
with some kind of sharp, heavy object.
[18:35] Takao
That's when he chanced upon it.
[18:39] Takao
A head with sharp fangs
that weighed tens of kilos.
[18:46] Takao
The ideal sharp blade.
[18:53] Takao
He then took the body through
the forest behind the museum,
[18:58] Takao
and dumped it at the construction site.
[19:04] Takao
Oh.
[19:05] Takao
You didn't expect that someone
would find the body right away.
[19:08] Takao
But you used that coincidence.
[19:12] Takao
You gave chest compressions
to the already dead Kumade,
[19:17] Takao
and called the emergency services.
[19:19] Sakurai
I see. He wouldn't be declared dead while
a doctor was giving him chest compressions.
[19:24] Sakurai
He delayed the involvement of the police.
[19:28] Takao
And the rain took care of
the evidence during that delay.
[19:31] Takao
So there you have it.
[19:33] Takao
That was the truth hidden behind this case.
[19:36] Takao
But seriously, using the T-Rex to cut off
his leg and giving him chest compressions...
[19:41] Takao
Those were brilliant on-the-spot decisions.
[19:44] Takao
He would've pulled off the perfect crime...
[19:47] Takao
if there hadn't been a genius like me
at the hospital the victim was taken to.
[19:54] Takao
Now, is there anything you'd like to clarify?
[19:57] Hachisuka
D-Do you have any proof?
[19:59] Takao
Hey, come on now. Did you forget
what I said when I was at your clinic?
[20:04] (Flashback) Takao
Oh, yeah. Sakurai.
[20:06] (Flashback) Takao
Have your crime lab take a look around
the museum first thing tomorrow morning.
[20:10] (Flashback) Sakurai
The museum?
[20:14] Hachisuka
Surely not.
[20:15] Takao
I surely did.
[20:17] Takao
You panicked and came back...
[20:20] Takao
to get the bottle of methylene blue
with your fingerprints all over it.
[20:24] Takao
You fell into my trap.
[20:26] Hachisuka
E-Even if my fingerprints are on it,
[20:29] Hachisuka
you can't prove I cut off that guy's leg
and abandoned the body.
[20:32] Hachisuka
That's not enough to arrest me!
[20:33] Takao
You don't get it.
[20:36] Takao
You're not being arrested for
damaging the body or abandoning it.
[20:41] Takao
You're being arrested for breaking and
entering the museum with intent to steal.
[20:47] Takao
Of course, your clinic will
be searched after your arrest.
[20:50] Takao
Then, surprise!
[20:51] Takao
Kumade's fingerprints and blood
might strangely be found in your clinic.
[20:56] Takao
We might even find a severed leg there.
[21:05] Takao
With that, my diagnosis is complete.
[21:07] Naruse
Please accompany us to the station.
[21:09] Sakurai
Thank you for all your help, Dr. Ameku.

[09:39] Takao
Does that mean you dumped a guy?
[09:43] Mafuyu
Yes. I broke up with my boyfriend a month ago.
[09:47] Manatsu
He was cheating on her
with a girl from another school.
[09:51] Mafuyu
I couldn't face him directly, so my sister
impersonated me and ended it for me.
[09:58] Yu
I know you're twins,
but he really couldn't tell the difference?
[10:01] Takao
Just shows how stupid he was.
You did well to break up with him.
[10:06] Takao
But in that case, you've both
technically dumped a guy.
[10:11] Takao
Has anyone else acted strange
after watching this video?
[10:15] Manatsu
It's just a rumor, but I heard a girl
crossed the street on a red light

There's no way something like that exists.

[17:07] Takao
The video flashes light aggressively.
[17:10] Takao
That light caused their cranial
nerves to fire abnormally,
[17:13] Takao
and resulted in an epileptic seizure.
[17:16] Yu
So the growling beast she heard...
[17:19] Takao
Oh, that was a symptom
of her epileptic seizure.
[17:22] Sumida
Hold on a minute.
[17:23] Sumida
Both of them tried to commit suicide.
[17:26] Sumida
What's that have to do
with epileptic seizures?
[17:28] Takao
Didn't you see them unconsciously
walking forward just now?
[17:34] Takao
That's a symptom called automatism.
[17:37] Takao
During a seizure, a certain part
of their body moves automatically.
[17:42] Takao
For these two, it is
unconsciously walking forward.
[17:47] Takao
The rest is easy to guess.
[17:49] Takao
The seizures happened on
a train platform and near stairs,
[17:52] Takao
so they looked like
impulsive suicide attempts.
[17:55] Sumida
But they both watched the video
together on the train platform.
[17:58] Sumida
So why did only Mafuyu react?
[18:01] Takao
That has to do with
their different situations.
[18:04] Takao
It's easier to trigger an epileptic seizure
[18:07] Takao
when the brain is suffering from
exhaustion or is under immense stress.
[18:11] Takao

[18:29] Takao
resulting in insomnia, guilt, and high levels
of stress when you watched it again.
[18:36] Takao
I confirmed it was an epileptic seizure
when Kimura Manatsu was admitted to the ER.
[18:42] Takao
After all, if one of the
monozygotic twins has epilepsy,
[18:47] Takao
the other has a high probability
of having it, too.
[18:56] Mom
Um, Doctor.
[18:58] Mom
Can my daughters be cured of this disease?
[19:03] Takao
Since their symptoms are atypical,
Neurology will have to examine them to be sure.
[19:07] Takao
However, considering they haven't
had any episodes before now,
[19:11] Takao
it should be a case of staying away from
heavy photo stimulation and minimizing stress.
[19:17] Takao
If you have any worries,
we'll do our best to support you.
[19:19] Manatsu

[20:00] Takao
I realized a patient Sumida had diagnosed
with depression actually had hypothyroidism.
[20:08] Takao
I took her off the useless antidepressants
and gave her thyroid meds instead.
[20:13] Yu
What?
[20:13] Takao
She improved rapidly in just one day.
So I told the patient the truth.
[20:19] Yu
You didn't...
[20:20] Takao
"This incompetent supervisor misdiagnosed you
and gave you completely ineffective meds."
[20:26] Takao
After that, I was banned from the psych ward.

[04:11] Murota
However...
[04:17] Aoi

[04:21] Aoi
It was an ancient document
regarding the onmyoji, Ashiya Enzo.
[04:26] Takao
Ashiya? Does that mean
he was a descendant of Doman?
[04:29] Aoi
Or perhaps his student.
[04:32] Aoi
Ashiya Enzo cursed more than ten people
to die, including aristocrats,
[04:36] Aoi
and was driven out of Heian-kyo.
[04:38] Takao
So he was a Heian period criminal, huh?
[04:45] Aoi

that Ashiya Enzo escaped to Kanto
and settled down in Kamakura.

The descendants of the Ashiya family have
continued to thrive there until the present day.
[04:56] Yu
The present day?
[04:57] Murota
And we made another discovery.
[05:00] Murota
It may completely change the very
foundation of our research on Doman.
[05:06] Murota
We found the grave of Ashiya Enzo.
[05:11] Aoi
We spent a long time
negotiating with the family,
[05:13] Aoi
and three weeks ago, were finally
allowed access to the inside of his tomb.
[05:23] Murota
In this never-before-opened,
thousand-year-old Heian period tomb,
[05:28] Murota
we found the mummy of a monk.
[05:33] Takao
A mummy?!
[05:34] Takao
Was it Ashiya Enzo himself?!
[05:37] Murota
That is what we firmly believe.
[05:41] Haruka
Excuse me.
[05:43] Murota
Oh. This is my daughter, Haruka.
[05:47] Murota
My wife passed away three months ago.
[05:52] Murota
Since then, she's quit her job
and returned home to take care of me.
[06:02] Aoi
Professor Murota!
[06:03] Haruka
Dad!
[06:07] Takao
An onmyoji's curse.
[06:10] Takao
Wasn't that the reason you wanted to see me?
[06:15] Murota
"All who desecrate his grave
will be cursed by Enzo."
[06:21] Yu
Huh?
[06:23] Murota
It's a warning passed down the Ashiya family.
[06:28] Takao
How interesting!
[06:31] Murota
Interesting, you say?
[06:32] Takao
If curses really do exist, that would
be a truly fantastical discovery!
[06:42] Murota
Real geniuses are something else.
[06:45] Murota
However...
[06:47] Murota
Now that I've fallen victim to it,
I've grown scared.
[06:53] Yu
Um, exactly what kind of curse is it?
[06:58] Murota
I started coughing heavily two weeks back.
[07:06] Haruka
The coughing hasn't stopped since.
[07:09] Haruka
His primary physician said
he needed oxygen therapy,
[07:13] Haruka
and his low-grade fever won't go away.
[07:16] Yu
It seems you have emphysema, so it's
possible you have a respiratory infection.
[07:22] Takao
You're still smoking, aren't you?
[07:24] Takao
You reap what you sow.
[07:26] Murota
My doctor said the same thing.
[07:30] Murota
But I've been taking the antibiotics
he prescribed for over a week now,
[07:35] Murota
and instead of getting better...
[07:39] Murota
It's only gotten worse.
[07:46] Aoi
It's not just Professor Murota.
[07:49] Aoi
Professor Ikari from Teito University,
who went in with us, is also sick.
[07:55] Aoi
I visited him at the request
of his wife three days ago, but...
[08:02] (Flashback) Aoi
P-Professor Ikari.
[08:04] (Flashback) Aoi
Let's go to the hospital.
[08:06] (Flashback) Ikari
No. I won't go outside.
[08:10] (Flashback) Michiko
Dear! Please, let's go to the hospital.
[08:13] (Flashback) Ikari
I can hear a voice.
[08:17] (Flashback) Ikari
"I'm going to kill you. I will never forgive you."
[08:21] (Flashback) Ikari
"Die! Die!"
[08:28] (Flashback) Ikari
It's Enzo's curse!
[08:35] Takao
Kuramoto Aoi.
[08:38] Takao
When did Ikari's symptoms start?
[08:41] Aoi
About two weeks ago?
[08:44] Takao
I see. Murota's coughing
started two weeks ago, too...
[08:51] Takao
Does Ikari have any chronic problems?
[08:55] Aoi
As I recall, he's been dealing with
persistent colitis. An ulcerative one.
[08:59] Takao
Then, he must be using immunosuppressants.
[09:03] Takao
It's been three weeks. If we validate now...
[09:06] Yu
Doctor Takao?
[09:08] Takao
But is that the fastest way?
[09:11] Takao
Damn it. Let's go, Kotori.
[09:13] Yu
Huh?
[09:14] Takao
Kuramoto Aoi. Come with us.
[09:16] Murota
H-Hey!
[09:16] Yu
Wait!
[09:17] Aoi
Me, too? Where?
[09:20] Takao
To Ashiya Enzo's grave.

[10:17] Yuuta

[10:20] Yuuta

this late in the day?
[10:23] Takao
I've come to examine Ashiya Enzo's grave.
[10:26] Yuuta
What? I don't remember
allowin' something like that.
[10:28] Yuuta
I was against your research from the start.
[10:32] Aoi
We received permission.
[10:35] Aoi
We got it from your mother, the landowner.
[10:41] Yuuta
Come to think of it, how's that
old guy named Ikari? He doin' okay?
[10:45] Yuuta
He ignored my warnin'
and messed with the tomb.
[10:48] Yuuta
That's why he was cursed.
[10:53] Takao
We don't have time for this. Let's go.
[10:56] Yuuta
Hey! Where d'ya think you're
goin' without my permission?
[10:59] Takao
As a doctor, I need to enter
the grave site as soon as possible.
[11:03] Takao
No matter what.

Huh?
[11:06] Takao
So get out of the way.

You lookin' down on me?!
[11:10] Takao
Ow!

[11:13] Yuuta
What's this? You got a problem?
[11:16] Yu
Sorry, but we need to pass.
[11:19] Yuuta
Huh? Go ahead and try.
[11:34] Yuuta

Why are you so angry?
[11:40] Yu
I'm not angry.
[11:42] Yu
Are you all right, Dr. Takao?
[11:44] Takao
Well, I'm angry! He pushed me over!
[11:44] Yuuta
"Do not desecrate Enzo's grave."
[11:47] Yu
Make sure you pat off all that dirt
before you get back in the car.
[11:48] Yuuta
"Those who break this taboo...
[11:51] Takao
Why don't you worry about me for once?
[11:53] Yuuta
will be cursed to die."
[11:59] Takao
Kotori. Piggyback.
[12:02] Yu
Don't be unreasonable.
[12:04] Yu
I'm already carrying this heavy bag.
[12:07] Yu
How do you expect me to carry you as well?
[12:10] Takao
Carry the backpack on your front.
[12:13] Yu
No way.
[12:15] Yu
Come on, walk properly.
[12:17] Takao
Heartless beast.
[12:20] Aoi
There it is.
[12:28] Yu
It's pretty damp.
[12:31] Aoi
It's slippery here. Be careful.
[12:36] Yu
It's pretty open at the back.
[12:40] Aoi
That's the casket containing Enzo's body.
[12:47] Yu
D-Dr. Takao?
[12:50] Yu
Why are you trying to open the casket?
[12:54] Takao
Kotori.
[12:55] Yu
Yes?
[12:56] Takao
Open it.

You're the only one here

You're not scared, are you?
[13:08] Yu
All right, fine.
[13:11] Yu
I just need to open it, right?
[13:15] Takao
If there really is a curse,
you'll be hit by it first.
[13:18] Yu
Don't say stuff like that!
[13:29] Yu
So you brought a microscope set?
[13:33] Yu
What are you planning to do with it?
[13:36] Takao
I'm going to take a sample.
[13:38] Yu
A sample?
[14:09] Takao

Where does Ikari live?

[14:42] Ikari
N-No... I don't want to die.
[14:47] Ikari
No...
[14:47] Takao
Hey! Open up, Ikari!
[14:49] Takao
We need to get you to a hospital!

[15:05] Ikari

[15:08] Takao
Listen, you!
[15:10] Takao
You're going to die at this rate!
[15:12] Yu
Huh?
[15:13] Michiko
No...
[15:16] Aoi
Please! Can't we force him
to go to the hospital?
[15:19] Yu
Even as doctors, if we admit
a patient against their will,
[15:23] Yu
we could be treated as kidnappers.
[15:28] Takao
Involuntary hospitalization.
[15:30] Takao
As an exception, a patient can be taken in for
medical care with the consent of a family member
[15:36] Takao
and a designated mental health physician
who deems it necessary.
[15:40] Yu
I see.
[15:41] Yu
So that's why you brought
Dr. Sumida from Psych with us.
[15:47] Sumida
The involuntary hospitalization law was put in
to help patients with psychiatric disorders
[15:52] Sumida
who have lost their capacity
to make decisions.
[15:54] Sumida
I understand the patient is unwell,
[15:58] Sumida
but there isn't enough proof
to authorize involuntary—

Huh?
[16:04] Takao
Break down this door.
[16:06] Sumida
You really have zero common sense—
[16:08] Takao
Someone's life is at stake here!
[16:13] Takao
We need to diagnose your husband
as quickly as possible.
[16:17] Takao
Will you allow us to break down this door?
[16:19] Michiko
Y-Yes!
[16:21] Takao
Kotori.
[16:25] Yu
I understand.
[16:26] Yu
Everyone. Please step back.
[16:27] Ikari
S-Stop.
[16:28] Ikari
Enzo will get in.
[16:37] Ikari
N-No!
[16:39] Takao
Good.
[16:40] Ikari
D-Don't open the door!
[16:45] Michiko
Dear!
[16:47] Ikari
D-Don't come any closer.
[16:51] Ikari
Enzo is...
[16:57] Sumida
What are you doing?!
[16:58] Takao
His entire upper body is raised.
[17:01] Takao
Neck stiffness.
[17:03] Yu/Sumida
Huh?
[17:05] Takao
Headache, fever, vomiting,
confusion, and neck stiffness.
[17:11] Takao
These are all symptoms
that can be caused...
[17:14] Takao
by meningitis.
[17:16] Takao
And the source of that meningitis...
[17:19] Takao
is cryptococcus.
[17:22] Yu
Cryptococcus?
[17:25] Takao
Cryptococcus is a type of fungus.
In other words, it's a kind of mold.
[17:29] Takao
It grows in damp environments,
[17:32] Takao
and causes life-threatening symptoms
if it infects the meninges.
[17:36] Aoi
Damp environments?
[17:39] Takao
Ashiya Enzo's grave.
[17:41] Takao
The fungus proliferated in the tomb during
the nearly one thousand years it was sealed off.
[17:47] Aoi
Then, am I infected, too?
[17:50] Takao
No, most healthy people
don't show serious symptoms,
[17:54] Takao
even if they come into contact
with cryptococcus.
[17:54] Michiko
Dear, hang in there!
[17:57] Takao
This man has a larger head,
while his arms and legs are thin.
[18:01] Takao
Do you know what that means, Kotori?
[18:04] Yu
Moon face?
[18:06] Yu
It's a side effect that can occur in
someone on long-term steroid therapy.
[18:09] Takao
That's right.
[18:10] Takao
Steroids are immunosuppressant drugs.
[18:14] Takao
Murota has emphysema, which makes him
more susceptible to respiratory infections.
[18:19] Yu
I see!
[18:20] Yu
Professor Murota is suffering
from mycotic pneumonia.
[18:24] Yu
That's why the antibiotics aren't helping.
[18:26] Takao
Exactly. He needs to take antifungal
medication to treat his problem.
[18:31] Takao
This is the real identity
of the onmyoji's curse.
[18:36] Takao
Ikari, you have serious fungal meningitis.
Go to the hospital immediately.
[18:42] Ikari
N-No.
[18:44] Ikari
I'll be cursed if I go outside.
[18:47] Michiko
Please! Take him to the hospital!
[18:50] Takao
Sumida. I found a large amount of
cryptococcus in the cave this man entered.
[18:55] Takao
I have supporting proof. If you confirm
the samples I collected under a microscope—
[18:59] Sumida
I really hate you.
[19:04] Sumida
However...
[19:05] Sumida
I hold your diagnostic
abilities in high regard.
[19:11] Sumida
Dr. Ameku. Do you believe
he needs emergency care?
[19:17] Takao
Yes. He needs to be hospitalized
as soon as possible.
[19:23] Sumida
I authorize involuntary hospitalization.
[19:25] Takao
Kotori!
[19:26] Yu
Yes?
[19:27] Takao
Call an ambulance.
[19:28] Yu
Understood.

[19:50] Aoi
Yeah, occasionally.
[19:52] Yu
That's a rare sight.
[19:55] Aoi
Oh, the matches?
[19:56] Aoi
I got them from Professor Murota yesterday.
[19:59] Yu
Is that so? How's Professor Murota doing?
[20:03] Aoi
Thanks to Dr. Ameku, he's recovered enough
that he doesn't need supplemental oxygen.
[20:10] Yu
That's good to hear.
[20:12] Aoi
Oh, that's right. I sent Dr. Ameku
the documents on Ashiya Enzo.
[20:16] Yu
I'm sure she was really interested.
She's a ball of curiosity.
[20:25] Aoi
It's getting a little chilly.
[20:27] Yu
Well, it's already autumn.
[20:30] Aoi
Dr. Takanashi,
what's Professor Ikari's condition?
[20:37] Yu
Dr. Takao says he was already in bad shape
when he got to the hospital.
[20:44] Yu
We'll continue trying our best, but honestly...
[20:49] Aoi
I see.
[20:52] Aoi
Professor Ikari's wife told me
she's very thankful.
[20:56] Yu
Huh?
[20:57] Aoi
Because he was hospitalized,
she can now stay by his side.
[21:02] Yu
Is that so?
[21:04] Aoi
Professor Murota and I
are both very thankful, too.
[21:07] Aoi
The two of you solved

You're right. It is a peculiar way to die.

The authorities here believe it was caused

In 1731, Countess Cornelia Bandi was
found burned to ashes in her own room

Only her legs below the knees remained.

In 2010, an Irishman named Michael Faherty

Good grief. Ashiya Enzo's

[09:36] Naruse
How stupid. It's not a curse.
[09:40] Takao
Hah, I expected as much.
[09:41] Yu
Huh?
[09:42] Takao
You going through the trouble of coming

If there's any suspicion of negligence
or arson, the police get involved.
SIGN Fire Investigation
[10:04] Takao
Put simply, the fact you guys are here
means this is a "case" not an "accident."
[10:12] Takao
Moreover, considering how quickly
you opened your investigation,
[10:16] Takao
there must be some kind of
evidence that points to arson.
[10:23] Sakurai
We found the remains of a timed
ignition device in the coffin.
[10:29] Yu
A timed ignition device?
[10:30] Naruse
That strange sound you heard right before
the fire was the sound of the timer.
[10:37] Yu
In other words, someone's behind all of this?
[10:41] Naruse
That's right.
[10:44] Takao
Was the timer special in any way?
[10:46] Sakurai
No, it's something anyone could make
fairly easily with an internet search.
[10:53] Naruse
Let me tell you this right now:
we don't need advice from an amateur.

It's just a matter of time

HQ has decided to consider the possibility
of homicide in light of this recent case.
[11:15] Naruse
Two professors on the same research team
have been involved in fires.

helmet had the same chest-scratching habit.

he'd attack me if I wandered around alone.

[07:13] Takao
Kagaya Masashi.
[07:18] Yu
Kagaya-san, what are you...
[07:22] Yu
This smell. Gasoline?
[07:24] Takao
He's trying to burn down the storage room.
[07:26] Yu
Huh? Why would he do that?
[07:29] Takao
He's trying to destroy the evidence.
[07:31] Yu
Evidence?
[07:34] Takao
From the very start, this case...
[07:36] Takao
was an amalgamation of
various crimes and coincidences.
[07:39] Takao
So it looked more complicated
than it actually was.
[07:43] Takao
It was as if the onmyoji's curse
really had caused all of it.
[07:48] Takao
The first event: the cryptococcus incident.
[07:51] Takao
The second event:
Kuramoto Aoi burned to death.
[07:55] Takao
The third event: Ikari's coffin fire.
[07:59] Takao
The fourth event: Murota burned to death.
[08:02] Takao
Oh, and there was a side event where you
got threatened, and your car was set on fire.
[08:06] Yu
A side event?
[08:08] Takao
Ashiya Yuuta's actions were the result of
his hatred for you and his fanaticism of Enzo.
[08:13] Takao
He had nothing to do with the other events.
[08:17] Takao
The "curse" on Murota and Ikari
that started everything off
[08:20] Takao
was definitely caused by the cryptococcus.
[08:25] Takao
However, the second and fourth events
are the important ones here.
[08:28] Takao
They're the reason this guy's trying
to burn down this storage room.
[08:32] Yu
What do you mean?
[08:34] Takao
If we search this storage room,
[08:36] Takao
we'll find the item that's the trick to
triggering the spontaneous human combustion
[08:40] Takao
that killed both Kuramoto Aoi and Murota.
[08:42] Yu
Huh?
[08:44] Yu
The trick?
[08:45] Yu
What in the world is in here?
[08:49] Takao
White phosphorus.
[08:52] Yu
White phosphorus?
[08:55] Takao
White phosphorus is an allotrope
of phosphorus that's highly toxic.
[09:00] Takao
A lethal dose for humans
is about 50 milligrams.
[09:02] Takao
Taking more causes a variety of
symptoms from gastrointestinal damage,
[09:06] Takao
like vomiting, diarrhea,
kidney and liver damage,
[09:09] Takao
and coagulation abnormalities
that may lead to death within a few hours.
[09:15] Takao
When Murota was brought to the ER, he already
had acute white phosphorus poisoning.
[09:19] Yu
White phosphorus poisoning?
[09:22] Takao
The toxicity of white phosphorus
isn't the only dangerous thing about it.
[09:26] Takao
Its ignition point is unusually low,
making it highly pyrophoric.
[09:31] Takao
And white phosphorus matches
are stored in this room.
[09:35] Yu
White phosphorus matches?
[09:37] Takao
Matches made with white phosphorus
instead of the more common red phosphorus.
[09:43] Takao
Their ignition point is 50ºC.
[09:45] Takao
Depending on the humidity, they can ignite
spontaneously at even lower temperatures.
[09:50] Takao
They were invented in the 1830s
and exploded in popularity,
[09:54] Takao
but their toxicity and tendency to
spontaneously ignite caused many issues.
[09:59] Takao
Japan banned the manufacture of them in 1921.
[10:04] Takao
White phosphorus matches that
shouldn't exist in our present era...
[10:08] Takao
are currently in that safe over there.
[10:14] Kagaya
You have good eyes.
[10:16] Yu
Matches?
[10:19] Yu
That means Kuramoto-san's
death was caused by...
[10:21] Takao
Yeah.
[10:22] Takao
The matches Murota gave Kuramoto Aoi
were white phosphorus ones.
[10:28] Takao
That night, she turned up her heater
and the matches spontaneously ignited.
[10:32] Takao
That one was an accident.
[10:35] Takao
Murota's fire was triggered the same way.
[10:38] Takao
At the time, Murota had
white phosphorus matches on him.
[10:41] Takao
The heat from the electric blanket
the paramedics wrapped him in
[10:45] Takao
caused the white phosphorus matches
in his chest pocket to spontaneously ignite.
[10:51] Takao
This was the trick that was used to
cause spontaneous human combustion.
[10:57] Sakurai
Excuse us. Apologies for the delay.
[11:01] Naruse
Gasoline?
[11:04] Sakurai
So what kind of situation
are we dealing with here?
[11:17] Naruse
Why, you!
[11:19] Kagaya
Don't come any closer.
[11:23] Kagaya
Don't worry.
[11:24] Kagaya
I won't run.
[11:27] Sakurai
Kagaya-san, what's the meaning of this?
[11:30] Kagaya
I used white phosphorus
matches to murder Murota.
[11:35] Kagaya
I switched his normal matches
with the ones in this storage room.
[11:39] Kagaya
And I did it all on my own.
[11:41] Sakurai
So you were behind it?
[11:43] Kagaya
Yeah, that's right.
[11:45] Kagaya
That man was planning to make me work
for him for the rest of my life. Like a slave.
[11:51] Kagaya
I just wanted to get back at him.
[11:54] Kagaya
Now, I just need to burn this storage room
down to get rid of the evidence.
[11:58] Naruse
You bastard.
[12:00] Takao
Yes, you have no choice but
to burn down this storage room.
[12:05] Takao
Because you can't open the safe.
[12:11] Yu
What do you mean?
[12:14] Takao
Well, now that everyone's here,
I'm done warming up.
[12:19] Takao
Let's talk about the third event:
Ikari's coffin fire.
[12:23] Takao
The goal of that event was to leave
an ignition device as evidence.
[12:28] Naruse
Leave evidence?
[12:30] Sakurai
Why do something like that?
[12:33] Takao
To protect the true culprit.
[12:35] Yu
Huh? The true culprit?
[12:37] Kagaya
Wh-What are you—
[12:38] Takao
The only thing you did
was plant a bomb in a coffin.
[12:41] Takao
You discovered the real culprit's plan
after the death of Kuramoto Aoi,
[12:45] Takao
and wanted to create an alibi for them.
[12:48] Yu
An alibi?
[12:50] Yu
Burning Ikari-san's corpse created an alibi?
[12:54] Takao
The source of the fire
in that incident was clear.
[12:58] Takao
The ignition device
could only have been set
[13:00] Takao
from the day the coffin was sent to the
funeral home until the beginning of the wake.
[13:04] Takao
So it had to be someone
who attended the wake.
[13:07] Takao
The true culprit would eventually use the white
phosphorus matches to burn Murota to death.
[13:12] Takao
He used that device so people
wouldn't suspect the true culprit.
[13:15] Takao
Worst-case scenario, he planned
to turn himself in and take all the blame.
[13:20] Sakurai
The true culprit?
[13:22] Naruse
So who's really behind this?
[13:25] Takao
A person Kagaya's willing to create
an alibi for and also take the blame for.
[13:33] Takao
Someone who can switch out matches and
mix white phosphorus into the victim's food.
[13:39] Takao
A person who is close to Murota
and has the ability to open the safe.
[13:45] Takao
The only person who
meets all the criteria is...
[13:54] Takao
You.
[13:58] Takao
Murota Haruka.
SIGN Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[14:05] Naruse
Huh?
[14:07] Yu
Haruka-san's the culprit?
[14:09] Kagaya
Haruka-san has nothing to do with it.
[14:11] Kagaya
She had no reason to kill her own father!
[14:14] Takao
There's motive all right.
[14:16] Takao
All the times she and
her mother were hospitalized.
[14:21] Sakurai
Weren't they only hospitalized for a few broken
bones and bruises at various general hospitals?
[14:27] Takao
"Various" general hospitals.
That's the key word there.
[14:31] Takao
Patients usually don't go to
different hospitals for the same injuries.
[14:35] Takao
Only a certain type of patient goes to a
different hospital every time they get injured.
[14:39] Yu
You mean...
[14:41] Takao
Victims of domestic abuse.
[14:44] Takao
Because the violence is within the family,
[14:47] Takao
victims often fear the eyes of others
and try to avoid using the same hospital.
[14:51] Takao
Didn't Murota say his wife passed away?
[14:54] Yu
Y-Yeah. That's why Haruka-san
came back to take care of her father.
[15:01] Takao
It sounds like a sweet story,
[15:02] Takao
but it takes on a different slant if we
consider the possibility of domestic abuse.
[15:07] Takao
X-rays for both Murota's wife and Haruka show
a history of multiple terrible bone fractures.
[15:14] Yu
Wait, so...
[15:16] Takao
Yeah.
[15:17] Takao
Haruka believes Murota killed her mother...
[15:21] Takao
and came back to get revenge.
[15:25] Takao
But while he may have been getting on
in years, he was still an adult male.
[15:28] Takao
The fear from years of
violence was still there.
[15:33] Takao
There were only so many things you could do.
[15:36] Takao
You switched out the matches
in hopes of causing a fire,
[15:40] Takao
but found they didn't ignite
as easily as you'd hoped.
[15:43] Takao
To your surprise, Murota and Ikari
suddenly started getting sick,
[15:47] Takao
Kuramoto Aoi burned to death,
[15:49] Takao
and Ikari's coffin burst into flames.
[15:53] Takao
You had no idea what was going on.
I'm sure you were very confused.
[15:58] Takao
Even so, Murota didn't die.
[16:00] Takao
Feeling cornered, you decided to risk
feeding him the white phosphorus directly.
[16:06] Takao
As a result, the white
phosphorus poisoned Murota,
[16:09] Takao
and flames enveloped him when the matches
in his chest pocket coincidentally ignited.
[16:15] Takao
A lot of coincidences overlapped,
making everything look overly complex.
[16:19] Takao
But really, you just switched out
Murota's matches and poisoned him.
[16:26] Sakurai
Murota Haruka-san, is what Dr. Ameku
said the truth of the matter?
[16:33] Haruka
I...
[16:34] Kagaya
Don't, Haruka-san!

Well, his health is the most
important thing to me, naturally.
[05:57] Takao
Then, let me do my examination.
[05:59] Takao
The fastest way for him to get better
is for me to examine him.
[06:03] Momoka
I don't trust you.
[06:05] Takao
I don't care if you sue me or not.
[06:09] Takao
Either way, I'm going to examine

[06:14] Takao
That's my job.
[06:25] Takao
I'm starting the examination.
[06:49] Kumagawa

[06:51] Takao
Yeah, I have.
[06:54] Takao
I can find no abnormalities.
[06:56] Momoka
What the heck? That's just admitting
you don't know what's wrong!
[06:59] Takao
You're wrong. Nothing's abnormal about
his health when he isn't experiencing a flare-up.
[07:05] Takao
That in itself is very valuable information.

it's often because...

to examine the contents.
[07:44] Momoka
What?
[07:45] Takao
His physical exam and test data show no
abnormalities, but he gets regular flare-ups.
[07:50] Takao
There's a possibility
a substance is poisoning him.
[07:55] Momoka
Poison?
[07:57] Momoka
Are you trying to imply I've been
feeding my own child poison?!
[08:00] Takao
It's obvious to all that
you care deeply for your son.
[08:04] Takao
Kuma did all the tests he could think of,
eliminating all possible diseases and disorders.
[08:09] Takao
The only thing left is the possibility
that he's being poisoned.
[08:13] Takao
What he consumes while
in hospital is severely limited.
[08:16] Takao
It's impossible for the hospital food to be
poisoned with something in regular intervals.
[08:22] Takao
So the only other possibility is that something
in this juice is affecting him like poison.
[08:29] Yu
Looking at the ingredients, there doesn't
seem to be anything that could poison him.
[08:34] Takao
There's no guarantee what's in it
matches the ingredients listed.

So we'll get forensics to take a look.

[10:11] Mai
There are so many cases
only Dr. Takao can solve.
[10:16] Takao
My uncle wants to turn me
into a convenient pawn.
[10:21] Takao
He's trying to take away the place
I can freely examine patients,
[10:26] Takao
so I'll obediently only examine patients
other departments ask me to.
[10:30] Mai
What will happen to you, Dr. Kotori?
[10:34] Yu
I'm from the university hospital,
so I'll have to go back.
[10:41] Mai
No way.
[10:43] Takao
Damn it. What in the world is going on?
[10:46] Takao
It has to be poisoning!
[10:48] Takao
It all slots into place if the juice has
some ingredient that's harmful to him.
[10:53] Takao
Any answer is fine. What have you
noticed about Suzuhara Soichiro?
[10:59] Mai
Um...
[11:01] Yu
Maybe it's actually some kind of allergy?
[11:04] Mai
So-chan doesn't have any food allergies.
Though he says he doesn't like fruit much.
[11:09] Takao
Kuma would never miss something
as simple as an allergy.
[11:12] Takao
Get yourself a working brain, idiot.
[11:14] Yu
Y-You don't have to go that far.
[11:17] Takao
Give me more plausible ideas.
[11:19] Takao
Did you actually learn
anything here?!
[11:22] Mai
U-Um, let's all calm down.
[11:26] Mazuru
Takao.
[11:28] Mazuru
It's almost time for the meeting.
[11:30] Takao
Just a little longer.
Let me think a little longer—
[11:33] Mazuru
No.
[11:34] Mazuru
If you don't attend, the Investigative Pathology
Department will definitely be shut down.
[11:43] Mazuru
Takao. Let's go apologize
to Suzuhara Momoka-san.
[11:47] Takao
Sis...
[11:49] Mazuru
If she's willing to withdraw
her complaint with an apology...
[11:54] Takao
I won't apologize.
[11:57] Takao
It doesn't make sense.
[12:00] Takao
The logic is flawed.
[12:04] Takao
I can't read the feelings of others
or the mood in a room.
[12:10] Takao
That's why I make up for it with logic.
[12:13] Takao
Going against logic is
like going against myself.
[12:21] Mazuru
You're right.
[12:23] Mazuru
I'm sorry, Takao.
[12:27] Takao
Sorry, Sis.
[12:33] Takao
I'm off.
[12:43] Takao
Fruit?
[12:46] Yu
Dr. Takao?
[12:48] Takao
Mai.
[12:48] Mai
Y-Yes?
[12:50] Takao
Did Suzuhara Soichiro tell you
why he didn't like fruit?
[12:53] Mai
Um...
[12:54] Mai
He says the fruit tastes bitter sometimes.
[12:57] Takao
Bitter?
[13:02] (Flashback) Mai
But every few days,
he suffers half a day of dizziness.
[13:04] (Flashback) Takao
Hypervitaminosis A.
[13:06] (Flashback) Takao
He lost consciousness at home.
[13:06] (Flashback) Kumagawa
The carbamazepine
he takes to prevent seizures.
[13:09] (Flashback) Mai
Though he says he doesn't
like fruit much.
[13:10] (Flashback) Mai
He says the fruit tastes
bitter sometimes.
[13:22] Takao
Suzuhara Soichiro's life is in danger.

[14:01] Takao
Are you sure, Uncle?
[14:04] Takao
I wonder how the public will see us if we shut
the Investigative Pathology Department.
[14:10] Takao
Will they see us as a clean hospital
that got rid of a problematic department?
[14:14] Takao
Or will they see us as fools
who succumbed to an unjust lawsuit?
[14:20] Owashi
Unjust lawsuit?
[14:22] Takao
Yeah, that's right.
[14:24] Takao
I would never have given

[14:52] Takao
I asked them to bring these here.

[15:00] Takao
Although I didn't expect them
to bring her along, too.
[15:04] Takao
Let me introduce you all.
This woman is Suzuhara Momoka.
[15:07] Takao
She's the one who's currently suing me.
[15:11] Takao
And now, I will get her
to retract her complaint.
[15:14] Momoka
You must be joking!
I'm not retracting my complaint!
[15:18] Takao
I will now explain what is happening
inside Suzuhara Soichiro's body.
[15:23] Takao
Not a bad deal, right?
[15:26] Takao
If I succeed, your son will get better.
[15:31] Takao
If I fail, I'll fall to my knees and beg for
your forgiveness right here and now.
[15:38] Takao
Okay, it's showtime!
[15:46] Takao
The key to this case was the juice, after all.
[15:50] Takao
Suzuhara Soichiro is currently
being treated in our pediatric ward.
[15:54] Takao
That means he only ingests the food
provided by the hospital and this juice.
[15:58] Takao
Even so, he shows signs and symptoms
of being poisoned at regular intervals.
[16:05] Takao
We checked out the juice,
and found no harmful ingredients inside.
[16:12] Takao
However...
[16:15] Takao
Kotori, drink this pineapple juice for me.
[16:18] Yu
Huh?
[16:26] Yu
So bitter.
[16:28] Mai
Bitter?
[16:28] Yu
This isn't pineapple juice.
[16:31] Takao
That bitter flavor is
grapefruit juice, right?
[16:35] Yu
Yeah. That's it.

It's grapefruit?

[16:51] Takao
Suzuhara Soichiro currently takes
carbamazepine to prevent seizures.
[16:56] Takao
Any nurse or doctor would know
the flavonoids in grapefruit
[17:02] Takao
inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme used to
metabolize carbamazepine for several hours.
[17:09] Takao
Due to this, the carbamazepine
can't be metabolized,
[17:12] Takao
sharply but temporarily increasing
his blood concentration,
[17:14] Takao
and manifesting as
the symptoms of a drug overdose.
[17:17] Yu
H-Hold on a second.
[17:20] Yu
That might solve the mystery
of Soichiro-kun's symptoms, but...
[17:23] Mai
Why does that carton
have grapefruit juice in it?
[17:27] Takao
Good question. We now get
to the heart of this mystery.
[17:32] Takao
Take a closer look at
the folded area at the top.
[17:38] Yu
There's a small hole.
[17:40] Takao
It's a hole made by a syringe.
[17:43] Takao
The culprit swapped out
the carton's contents.
[17:46] Yu/Mai
What?
[17:47] Kumagawa
"Culprit"?
[17:50] Yu
Who in the world...
[17:52] Takao
Suzuhara Soichiro was suffering
from symptoms of poisoning.
[17:56] Takao
The symptoms always
appeared in the morning,
[17:58] Takao
and the medicine was
administered by nurses.
[18:01] Yu
Are you saying one of the nurses did it?
[18:03] Takao
No.
[18:04] Takao
I checked the shift records.
[18:05] Takao
No nurse was on duty all the days
the symptoms manifested.
[18:09] Takao
Plus, the symptoms started
before he was hospitalized,
[18:12] Takao
so it's unlikely to be
anyone at this hospital.
[18:16] Takao
It's someone who knows the
side effects of carbamazepine,
[18:19] Takao
and knows when Suzuhara Soichiro
takes his medicine.
[18:25] Takao
You're the culprit.
[18:29] Takao
Suzuhara Momoka.
[18:31] Momoka
Huh?
[18:32] Mai
Wait. What?
[18:35] Yu
His mother?
[18:37] Kumagawa
What's going on?
[18:39] Momoka
I'm the culprit?
[18:41] Momoka
I've heard all I'll take from you!
[18:43] Takao
Suzuhara Momoka has an illness.
[18:47] Takao
A serious one that
threatens her own son's life.
[18:51] Momoka
What? I'm sick? What in the
world are you talking about?!
[18:55] Takao
You have Munchausen syndrome by Proxy.
[19:02] Takao
Patients with this mental disorder
will often mistreat their child in secret
[19:06] Takao
by physically harming them or poisoning
them to fabricate serious illnesses.
[19:11] Takao
Then, they put on the act of a tragic heroine.
[19:13] (Flashback) Soichiro
Mom.
[19:15] Takao
All so that others will see them
as the courageous mother
[19:19] Takao
who diligently cares for her darling son.
[19:23] Momoka
You're wrong. I'm not—
[19:24] Takao
You caused the hypervitaminosis A
on purpose, too.
[19:29] Takao
You were upset when I found out
and sued me to get revenge.
[19:37] Takao
It's no wonder we couldn't find
any traces of poison in his body.
[19:41] Takao
It was just juice, after all.
[19:43] Takao
But for Suzuhara Soichiro,
it became a poison.
[19:49] Momoka
D-Do you have any proof?
[19:51] Takao
I'm sure we'll find it
if we search your house.
[19:54] Momoka
Huh?
[19:56] Takao
The syringe with traces of grapefruit in it.
[20:03] Takao
Kotori, call the police.
[20:05] Yu
Uh, right.
[20:07] Momoka
Hey, hold on.
[20:08] Momoka
Don't call the police. I'll apologize!
[20:11] Momoka
I'll retract my legal complaint,
so don't involve the police—
[20:12] Takao
That's enough!
[20:15] Takao
What you did was pure child abuse.

There have been sightings of

[04:16] Kumakawa
It's been a bit chaotic in
the pediatric ward because of it.
[04:20] Yu
Wh-What do you mean?
[04:23] Kumakawa
About 10 days ago, a different patient started
claiming he'd seen an angel late at night.
[04:30] Kumakawa
He opened his eyes in the middle of the night
and saw someone standing there, bathed in light.
[04:34] Yu
How did he reach the conclusion that
this person bathed in light was an angel?
[04:40] Kumakawa
The child said the figure looked like
the angel from one of his picture books.

Could the child have made a mistake?

Five days ago, a nurse was passing
the child's room, and looking in from outside,

she also saw a shining angel-like figure.

but Fuyumoto Atsushi-kun will likely

But we still don't know
why he suddenly fell ill, right?
[08:34] Yamada
I'm his attending physician.

[14:01] Yu
Um, what kind of relationship do
Miki Kenta-kun and Dr. Takao have?
[14:07] Kumakawa
He's Taka-chan's friend.
[14:09] Yu
Friend?
[14:12] Kumakawa
Two years ago, when Taka-chan was working
as a resident in the pediatric ward...
[14:17] Kumakawa
she often argued with attending physicians,
and struggled to interact with patients.
[14:23] Kumakawa
It was pretty hard on her.
[14:28] Kumakawa
In the middle of all that,
[14:30] Kumakawa
Kenta-kun came for an emergency examination
because a late-night nosebleed wouldn't stop.
[14:34] Kumakawa
Seems it's finally stopped.
[14:35] Kenta
Yeah.
[14:37] (Flashback) Keiko
Thank you very much.
[14:39] (Flashback) Kumakawa
Well, that should do it—
[14:40] (Flashback) Takao
Hold on a second.
[14:43] Kumakawa
Taka-chan was also on duty that night,
[14:46] Kumakawa
and she noticed Kenta-kun had
a light patch of purpura on his leg.
[14:51] Kumakawa
We immediately ran tests, and he was
diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
[14:56] Kumakawa
requiring him to be hospitalized
and undergo chemotherapy.
[14:59] Mai
So what happened between
the two of them?
[15:04] Kumakawa
He took a shine to her.

[15:12] Kumakawa
Taka-chan was pretty hesitant at first,
but she slowly opened up.
[15:18] Kumakawa
She even started making time to visit
Kenta-kun in his room and chat with him.
[15:26] Mai
So they became friends, huh?
[15:29] Kumakawa
For Taka-chan, Kenta-kun was
a source of comfort during her residency.
[15:39] (Flashback) Takao
I got you a present, Kenta.
[15:41] (Flashback) Kenta
Wow! So cool!
[15:45] (Flashback) Kenta
Do I look good?
[15:46] (Flashback) Takao
Yeah.
[15:53] Kumakawa
He still treasures the baseball cap
Taka-chan gave him.
[16:02] Kumakawa
The chemotherapy was effective,
and he was discharged
[16:05] Kumakawa
after he was evaluated as
being in complete remission.
SIGN I'm all better now.
Thank you,

[16:13] Yu
But the cancer returned?
[16:17] Kumakawa
Yeah.
[16:20] Kumakawa
We found leukemia cells during a routine
bone marrow exam in January of this year,
[16:26] Kumakawa
and he was diagnosed
with a recurrence of leukemia.
[16:30] Kumakawa
We tried everything we could,
but it was no use.
[16:34] Kumakawa
We don't know when Kenta-kun's health
will take a turn for the worse.
[16:38] Yu
So that's why Dr. Takao
has been acting so strangely.
[16:43] Kumakawa
Kenta-kun was supposed to be gone for the night,
so I thought she could do some examinations,
[16:48] Kumakawa
but he suddenly came down with a fever
and had to return to the hospital.
[16:54] Kumakawa
Will you apologize to Taka-chan for me?
[16:57] Yu
I understand.
[17:18] Yu
Why are you all rolled up
like a roly-poly down there?
[17:24] Takao
I messed up.
[17:26] Yu
Yeah, you messed up.
[17:30] Takao
I didn't mean to do that.
My mind just went blank.
[17:35] Yu
Dr. Kumakawa wanted to apologize
about asking you to help this time.
[17:41] Takao
I already knew what was going on
even before he asked me,
[17:45] Takao
so I tried to brace myself for it.
[17:50] Takao
I ended up hurting Kenta's feelings.
[17:54] Yu
Why don't you go see Kenta-kun again
after you've calmed down?
[18:01] Takao
Kotori.
[18:02] Yu
Yes, what is it?
[18:05] Takao
Have you ever had a patient
who was younger than you die?
[18:11] Yu
I have. I worked in the surgical
department for five years.
[18:17] Takao
I haven't.
[18:22] Yu
Is that so?
[18:26] Takao
Hey, Kotori.
[18:28] Yu
Yes?
[18:30] Takao
Kenta-kun is going to die soon.
[18:35] Yu
Yes, I know.
[18:37] Takao
He's only been alive eight years,
but he's already going to die.
[18:43] Takao
I can't do anything for him.
[18:47] Takao
Even though my brain's stuffed with
medical knowledge from all over the world,
[18:52] Takao
there's nothing I can do!
[18:53] Yu
That's not true.
[18:56] Yu
You can see him and talk with him.
[18:59] Yu
We simply need to listen to our patients,
discuss their illnesses in a frank manner,
[19:05] Yu
and act flexibly, depending on the situation.
[19:09] Takao
Act flexibly?
[19:13] Takao
I can't do that because I can't read
what the other person wants from me.
[19:22] Takao
If I talk with Kenta now,
I might hurt his feelings even more.
[19:28] Takao
Before I realize it,
[19:31] Takao
I might make someone who's already
suffering go through even more pain.
[19:40] Takao
That's why it's probably better
if I don't see Kenta anymore.
[19:47] Yu
Are you thinking of running away again?
[19:51] Takao
Running away?
[19:52] Yu
That's right. You're just running away.

You're running away from Kenta-kun and
the mysterious illnesses on the pediatric ward.
[20:01] Takao

but it's just that it's painful for you.

but you're a doctor.

there are people you can't save.

nothing will get resolved.

and his heartbeat resumed soon after.

His illness shouldn't cause

Are you saying Atsushi-kun and these boys
made themselves sick on purpose?
[05:52] Takao
Yup. Sekihara Katsuji and
Sakuta Yuichi are his accomplices.
[05:59] Mai
But how did they even do those things?
[06:01] Mai
Atsushi-kun's heart actually stopped.
[06:05] Takao
He used what he was
trying to steal just now.
[06:07] Takao
Adenosine triphosphate. As an injection,
it's more commonly known as ATP.
[06:13] Takao
It can alleviate symptoms like dizziness when
mixed into an IV drip and administered slowly.
[06:17] Takao
However, it has another unique effect.
[06:20] Mai
Another effect?
[06:22] Takao
It can stop the heart
for a short period of time.
[06:27] Yu
A rapid intravenous injection for
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?
[06:31] Takao
Right. It's a well-known treatment for
arrhythmia when administered intravenously.
[06:36] Mai
Stopping the heart?
Is it safe to do something like that?
[06:40] Takao
It's fine. It's a drug with
a relatively high safety profile.
[06:45] Mai
But the heart still stops
for a few seconds, right?
[06:49] Takao
Yeah. While it might be safe,
[06:52] Takao
it can cause severe chest discomfort
and induce vomiting in many cases.
[06:56] Takao
It can also trigger asthma-like attacks
in patients with a history of asthma.
[07:02] Mai
That's...
[07:04] Takao
Exactly. Their symptoms
can all be explained
[07:07] Takao
by a rapid intravenous injection
of adenosine triphosphate.
[07:14] Takao
Fuyumoto Atsushi was hospitalized
because of his WPW syndrome.
[07:18] Takao
He must've had frequent episodes of
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
[07:23] Takao
That means he also received rapid
IV injections of adenosine triphosphate.
[07:29] Takao
That's how he knew that
a quick intravenous shot of it
[07:33] Takao
could safely induce the sudden
appearance of various symptoms.
[07:39] Kumakawa
Now, hold on a second.
[07:41] Kumakawa
Atsushi-kun's heart didn't just stop
for a few seconds last night.
[07:45] Kumakawa
It stopped completely
for over 20 seconds.
[07:49] Takao
Yeah. That was the mistake.
[07:52] Kumakawa
Mistake? What mistake?
SIGN Room 703
SIGN Fuyumoto Atsushi
[07:55] Takao
Last night, after Fuyumoto
Atsushi called the nurse,
[07:58] Takao
he injected the adenosine triphosphate
into his IV line with a preprepared syringe.
[08:07] Takao
The syringe he used was probably
disposed of by his two accomplices.
[08:11] Takao
Then, just as he planned, his heart
stopped for a moment, and he collapsed.
[08:17] Takao
But he'd accidentally snatched
the wrong medication this time.
[08:22] Takao
This is the one he administered
to himself last night.
[08:26] Takao
It's the same adenosine triphosphate,
[08:29] Takao
but there's a difference
between these ampules.
[08:32] Takao
Their concentration.
[08:34] Takao
These three had been self-administering
the common 10mg ampules before now.
[08:40] Takao
But last night, they accidentally
took a 40mg ampule,
[08:44] Takao
which meant the concentration
was four times higher.
[08:46] Yu
Four times?
[08:48] Kumakawa
I see.
[08:49] Takao
The higher concentration
made his heart stop for longer.
[08:53] Takao
A few more seconds and his heart would've
started on its own and he would've come to.
[08:59] Kumakawa
Atsushi-kun, is what she's saying true?
[09:05] Mai
So what about the angel?
[09:08] Takao
Hey, kid. You're totally busted.
[09:11] Takao
Why don't you tell them
about your other little trick?
[09:15] Atsushi
Fine.
[09:28] Takao
This is the true form of the "angel."
[09:31] Mai
A flashlight and a paper cup?
[09:34] Takao
Didn't you say a picture book was stolen
from next door and found all torn up?
[09:40] Takao
Just as you suspected,
these guys were to blame for that.
[09:50] Takao
This is the truth behind this case.
[09:56] Kumakawa
But Taka-chan, why would
these kids do something like that?
[10:02] Takao
These guys wanted to stay in the hospital,
[10:04] Takao
even if it meant drugging themselves
and making their hearts stop,
[10:07] Takao
because they had to keep
making the angel appear.
[10:11] Takao
For Kenta.
[10:13] Mai
They stayed just to prank Kenta-kun?
[10:16] Takao
No. It's not a prank.
[10:20] Takao
It's atonement.
[10:24] Yu
Atonement?
[10:26] Takao

not having any hair two weeks back.
[10:32] Takao

[10:35] Takao
I'm sure someone explained it
to them afterwards.
[10:39] Takao
About how he'd lost all of his hair
in his battle with leukemia.
[10:44] Takao
And that Kenta didn't
have a lot of time left.

[11:22] Kumakawa
Is what Dr. Ameku's saying true?

We didn't know that little kid was so sick.
[11:32] Kumakawa

to go peacefully if he sees one.

So they couldn't allow themselves to be

"In this one town, there was a little girl
who lived with her mother."
[18:22] Takao
"Her mother was always sick
and wasn't able to go out much."
[18:28] Takao
"The little girl and her mother would always
split the small amount of bread they had,
[18:33] Takao
and say, 'Thank you, God.'"
[18:37] Takao
"'Thank you, God,' they prayed."
[18:44] Takao
"They prayed every day without fail."
[18:50] Takao
"One day, the little girl went to the
neighborhood bakery to get leftover bread."

Yes, you did a good job.
[19:53] Yu
Kenta-kun was very happy to see you.
[19:56] Takao
But I couldn't do anything for him.
[20:00] Takao
All I did was read a picture book to him.
[20:03] Yu
That was enough for Kenta-kun.
[20:07] Yu
I'm sure he was happy you read
that picture book to him.
[20:13] Takao

[20:15] Yu

He was such a good kid.
[20:39] Takao
Kotori... I'm powerless.

SIGN Chairman of General Hospital in Tokyo
Suspected of Concealing Murder Case
SIGN On the 12th, the Metropolitan Police's
Tanashi Station referred for
prosecution Dr. Kuwata Ryuichiro (70),
chairman of Kuwata General Hospital.
SIGN He is suspected of violating the Medical
Practitioners' Act by failing to report a
possible unnatural death to the police.
Suspect Dr. Kuwata has denied this claim.
[06:38] Yu
"On the 12th, the Metropolitan
Police's Tanashi Station
[06:41] Yu
sent documents to the prosecutor's office
on suspect, Dr. Kuwata Ryuichiro,

chairman of Kuwata General."
[06:47] Yu
"He is suspected of violating
the Medical Practitioners' Act
[06:50] Yu
by failing to report a possible
unnatural death to the police."
[06:54] Takao
The one who died unnaturally
is the victim in this murder case.
[06:59] Takao
Kuwata Seiji's father, Kuwata Ryuichiro,
was present at the time of his death.
[07:05] Takao
We'll go get the details from him.
[07:07] Yu
I'm surprised you got
an appointment with him.
[07:10] Takao
Well, he's a doctor himself, right?
Seems he's heard rumors about my genius.
[07:14] Yu
I see.
[07:16] Takao
He sounded pretty eager for us
to come and prove his son's innocence.
[07:37] Ryuichiro
It's all his fault.
[07:39] Ryuichiro
He's messed up everything.
[07:42] Yu
Um, excuse me, but who are you referring to?
[07:47] Ryuichiro
Kuwata Daiki. My deceased eldest son.
SIGN Kuwata General Hospital Chairman
Kuwata Ryuichiro
[07:50] Yu
Huh? So the victim was
Kuwata-senpai's older brother?
[07:55] Ryuichiro
Yes, that's right.
[07:57] Takao
Tell me about Kuwata Daiki first.
[08:00] Ryuichiro
He was just a brainless thug.
[08:03] Ryuichiro
I went to great lengths to enroll him
in a prestigious school,
[08:07] Ryuichiro
but not only did he fall in
with a bad crowd in high school,
[08:11] Ryuichiro
he got expelled for threatening
a fellow classmate for money.
[08:15] Ryuichiro
After moving out, he kept
coming back just to ask for money.
[08:21] Ryuichiro
Since there was no end to his requests,
I eventually stopped giving in to him.
[08:26] Ryuichiro
So he snuck into my study to steal cash,
checkbooks, even the deeds to the house.
[08:36] Yu
Did he succeed?
[08:38] Ryuichiro
No, a servant caught him in the act
before he could take anything.
[08:40] Servant
What are you doing?
[08:42] Ryuichiro
I hit him on the spot
and cut all ties with him.
[08:48] Ryuichiro
I didn't see Daiki for years after that.
[08:53] Takao
What caused Daiki to go off
the straight and narrow?
[08:58] Takao
Wasn't there some reason behind it?
[09:01] Ryuichiro
I see no need to tell you about that.
[09:04] Takao
Whether it's necessary or not
is up to me to decide.
[09:10] Ryuichiro
Just after he started high school,
Daiki's mother ended her own life.
[09:17] Takao
So his mother committed suicide
and the shock of it caused him to rebel?
[09:23] Takao
You called her "Daiki's" mother just then.
[09:27] Takao
Does that mean Seiji and Daiki
had different mothers?
[09:33] Ryuichiro
Yes.
[09:34] Ryuichiro
Daiki and Seiji are half-brothers.
Another woman gave birth to Seiji.
[09:41] Ryuichiro
My wife grew mentally unstable
when she found out and took her own life.
[09:49] Takao
Did you marry Kuwata Seiji's
mother after that?
[09:54] Ryuichiro
I remarried about a year
after the passing of my first wife.
[09:59] Ryuichiro
My second wife passed away
from cancer three years ago.
[10:05] Takao
Okay, now tell me about the day in question.
[10:10] Ryuichiro
That day, we were celebrating my 70th,
as well as my hospital's 35th anniversary.
[10:19] Ryuichiro
But Daiki suddenly appeared.
[10:22] Yu
Was Daiki-san invited?
[10:25] Ryuichiro
Of course he wasn't.
[10:27] Ryuichiro
I don't even know how
he found out about the event.
[10:33] (Flashback) Assembly Member
Allow me to offer my congratulations.
[10:34] Clerk
U-Um, you can't go in.

Can it.
[10:39] (Flashback) Daiki
Old man! Long time no see.
[10:43] (Flashback) Ryuichiro
Daiki?
[10:46] (Flashback) Daiki
Pretty arrogant of you
to be partyin' like this.
[10:50] (Flashback) Daiki
Especially after disownin' your own son.
[10:53] (Flashback) Daiki
On top of that, my mother died 'cause
this man had a child with another woman.
[11:00] (Flashback) Daiki
The real kicker is he made her his
second wife and kicked me out of the house.
[11:05] (Flashback) Daiki
This guy's a scummy human being!
[11:10] (Flashback) Daiki
Hey, don't you guys all agree?
[11:14] (Flashback) Seiji
Brother, stop.
[11:16] (Flashback) Daiki
Huh?
[11:17] (Flashback) Daiki
Don't order me around, Seiji.
[11:24] Yu
Huh? Was Kuwata-senpai all right?
[11:27] Ryuichiro
No, not at all.
[11:30] Ryuichiro
He lost a lot of blood from that head wound.
[11:33] Ryuichiro
That's why I ordered Seiji to go get
treated immediately at our hospital.
[11:38] Ryuichiro
Then, I kicked Daiki out of the party hall.
[11:41] Yu
Did he go silently?
[11:44] Ryuichiro
He caused a ruckus to start with, but he left
when I threatened to call the police.
[11:51] Ryuichiro
I was planning to use that party to announce
that I would be retiring in a few years,
[11:56] Ryuichiro
and that Seiji would take over as chairman.
[12:02] Ryuichiro
And yet...
[12:04] Ryuichiro
He ruined everything.
[12:07] Yu
The incident happened right after that, yes?
[12:10] Ryuichiro

[12:49] Ryuichiro
We unlocked the door and entered, but...
[12:53] Ryuichiro
Daiki had collapsed in
the middle of the room.
[12:57] (Flashback) Ryuichiro
Duh... Daiki.
[12:59] Ryuichiro
He was in cardiac arrest.
[13:03] Takao
So this is the scene of
the locked-room murder, huh?
[13:06] Ryuichiro
Kojiro immediately started
chest compressions,
[13:12] Ryuichiro
and he was taken to the emergency room,
but he died early the next morning.
[13:17] Yu
Afterwards, you wrote on his death certificate
that he'd died from an illness,
[13:21] Yu
and had him cremated.
[13:23] Ryuichiro
Yes.
[13:25] Yu
In a situation like that,
[13:27] Yu
you know the Medical Practitioners' Act
requires you to contact the police first.
[13:31] Ryuichiro
I didn't.
[13:33] Ryuichiro
I haven't practiced in a long time,
so I didn't remember the law too clearly.
[13:40] Takao
But why did the police
launch an investigation?
[13:44] Takao
You didn't report an unnatural death.
[13:46] Ryuichiro
It was an internal complaint.
[13:49] Yu
An internal complaint?
[13:50] Ryuichiro
Someone whispering nonsense to the police.
[13:55] Ryuichiro
They claimed someone had killed Daiki
and I was trying to hide the evidence.
[14:04] Takao
Is this room usually locked?
[14:08] Ryuichiro
No, it's possible for anyone
in the house to enter this room.
[14:14] Ryuichiro
Only Seiji and I have the key to this room.
[14:21] Takao
Yet this door was locked on
the day of the incident, correct?
[14:27] Ryuichiro
Yes. It was definitely locked.
[14:31] Takao
When you found Kuwata Daiki on the floor,
what position were the window locks in?
[14:36] Ryuichiro
They were all latched.
The windows were all closed.
[14:41] Takao
So it really was a completely locked room.
[14:46] Takao
Why did Kuwata Daiki's heart stop?
[14:49] Takao
Did he have any obvious external wounds?
[14:52] Ryuichiro
Daiki likely died by...
[14:57] Ryuichiro
drowning.
[14:59] Yu
He drowned?
[15:00] Yu
Huh? H-Here?
[15:03] Takao
I see.
[15:05] Takao
So the eldest son who was
kicked out of the party hall
[15:09] Takao
was found here in a locked room,
drowned to death.
[15:18] Takao
Talk about interesting.
SIGN Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[15:26] Yu
How could he have drowned in here?
[15:29] Ryuichiro
I don't know.
[15:30] Ryuichiro
But Daiki's mouth was full of water,
[15:34] Ryuichiro
and he coughed up a fountain when
Kojiro started doing chest compressions.
[15:41] Yu
Um, why was Daiki-san in this room?
[15:44] Ryuichiro
He likely wanted to vent his anger
from being kicked out of the party
[15:47] Ryuichiro
by stealing something from the study.
[15:51] Takao
You're wrong.
[15:54] Ryuichiro
What do you mean?
[15:56] Takao
At the very least, when you saw
Kuwata Daiki collapsed on the floor,
[16:00] Takao
you thought of something else.
[16:05] Takao
You probably thought Kuwata Seiji
had drowned his brother in revenge,
[16:10] Takao
and dragged his body up here. Didn't you?
[16:13] Yu
Huh? Kuwata-senpai?
[16:16] Takao
Only you and Kuwata Seiji
have keys to this room.
[16:22] Takao
That's why you risked ignoring
the Medical Practitioners' Act
[16:26] Takao
by documenting his
cause of death as illness,
[16:28] Takao
and cremated him without
performing a proper autopsy.
[16:32] Takao
You did it to protect your son.
[16:36] Ryuichiro
That's also what the police think.
They currently suspect Seiji.
[16:41] Takao
Doesn't Kuwata Seiji have an alibi?
[16:44] Takao
Didn't he go to the hospital
to get his head wound seen to?
[16:48] Ryuichiro
No, Seiji didn't go to the hospital.
[16:53] Ryuichiro
The bleeding stopped right away,
so he parked up in a nearby street
[16:58] Ryuichiro
and decided to wait
until his anger had subsided.
[17:00] Takao
Huh? What the heck?
[17:03] Takao
So he was alone in his car for a few hours?
[17:06] Takao
No wonder the police are suspicious.
[17:09] Ryuichiro
Seiji can't be the culprit.

He's a kind child.

Yes, that's right.
[19:04] Yuko
The bleeding had already
completely stopped,
SIGN Kuwata General Hospital Plastic Surgeon
Seguchi Yuko
[19:09] Yuko
so we disinfected the wound
and wrapped it in gauze.
[19:12] Takao
And what was Kuwata Seiji's
mental state like when you treated him?
[19:16] Yuko
I found him less calm than usual.
[19:20] Takao
Hm? You said less calm than "usual."
Does that mean you know Kuwata Seiji?
[19:24] Yuko
Yes. Well, at the level of making
conversation every once in a while.
[19:28] Yuko
Dr. Seiji works part-time
at this hospital once a week,
[19:33] Yuko
and I work here three days a week.
[19:37] Takao
Three days a week?
[19:38] Yuko
I started working part-time
after I got married.
[19:43] Yuko
Um, is Dr. Seiji all right?
I heard the police suspect him.
[19:49] Takao
It's too early to say.
[19:53] Yuko
I see.
[19:54] Yuko
The police have questioned me
a number of times.
SIGN Kuwata Seiji
SIGN Forehead injury. Patient tripped over a chair at home and stumbled into wall.
No loss of consciousness or signs of concussion,
but should follow up with outpatient clinic to be sure.
[19:59] Yuko
They keep asking about Dr. Seiji.
[20:03] Takao
All right! Kotori, let's head back.
[20:05] Yu
Huh? That's all?
[20:07] Takao
I want to go home and think things over.
[20:10] Takao
Thanks for the info.
[20:12] Yu
H-Hey, wait.
[20:15] Yu
Sorry for taking up your time.
Thank you very much.
[20:20] Yuko
Oh, it's fine.
[20:26] Takao
Hurry up, Kotori.
I'm gonna leave you behind.
[20:29] Yu
Leave me behind? You can't get back
without me driving you there.
[20:33] Takao
That's not true. As long as I have
the key, I can drive myself back.
[20:36] Yu
Huh? You have a license?
[20:39] Takao
No accidents. No violations. A gold license!
[20:41] Yu
So you have a license
but you've never driven anywhere?
[20:46] Takao
Blame my sister. She won't let me drive.
[20:49] Yu
Right, right.
[20:50] Yu
Okay, Miss Gold License Who's Never Driven,
please sit quietly in the passenger seat.
[20:55] Takao
Don't treat me like a fool! All right,
I'll show you my skills! Gimme your keys!
[20:59] Yu
Absolutely not.
[21:00] Yu
My last car went up in flames and I just
bought this one. I still have to pay the loan.
[21:04] Takao
Shut up! It's an order from your superior!
[21:06] Yu
Jeez, if you keep being so unreasonable,
I'll call Mazuru-san and tell on you.
[21:13] Takao
That's cheating!
[21:17] Yu
But still, I'm glad.
[21:19] Yu
It looks like you're back to normal, Dr. Takao.
[21:22] Takao
Huh?
[21:22] Yu
With how angry you got
yesterday, I was worried.
[21:27] Yu
But now, you're focused on this case—
[21:28] Takao
Don't be stupid.
[21:30] Takao
What do you think I'm doing this for?
[21:32] Yu
Huh?
[21:33] Takao
If I solve this mystery,
[21:36] Takao
Kuwata Seiji will be exonerated
and can go back to work at the university.
[21:40] Takao
Then, you won't have
to go back to the university.
[21:43] Yu
Then...
[21:44] Takao
I'm doing all of this so you can stay in
the Investigative Pathology department.
[21:49] Yu
Dr. Takao...
[21:51] Takao
The key to this mystery is figuring out
how a man can drown in a locked room.
[21:58] Takao
Leave it to me, Kotori.
[22:00] Takao
There's no mystery I can't solve.
[22:07] Yu
Right.

SIGN Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
SIGN 15th March (Saturday)
[01:31] Yu
In all honesty, I have no idea what's going on.
SIGN This anime is a work of fiction and has no relation to any actual person or organization. The medical
procedures and equipment used in the show may vary from what is used to treat individual symptoms.
[01:35] Yu
How can a person drown in a locked room?
[01:38] Takao
Right now, gathering information
is our top priority.
[01:42] Yu
Oh.
[01:42] Takao
Hm?
[01:44] Sakurai
Why, if it isn't Dr. Ameku and Dr. Takanashi.
[01:49] Sakurai
Seems we're crossing paths a lot lately.
[01:51] Yu
Sakurai-san and Naruse-san.
What brings you here?
[01:55] Naruse
I'd like to ask you the same.
[01:57] Takao
I bet you're here investigating
the Kuwata Daiki case.
[02:02] Sakurai
Kuwata Daiki? Who's that?
[02:05] Takao
Come on now. Let's not make this complicated.
[02:08] Takao
We're investigating the same case.
Why don't we swap info?
[02:13] Sakurai
If you have something interesting
to say about it, Dr. Ameku,
[02:17] Sakurai
I might let some things slip
while talking to myself, too.
[02:23] Takao
Fair enough.
[02:28] Naruse
This again, Sakurai-san?
[02:31] Naruse
I'm going back to the station.
[02:37] Takao
The police think Kuwata Seiji
drowned his older brother somewhere else,
[02:40] Takao
then dragged his body
to the study afterwards, right?
[02:44] Sakurai
Yes.
[02:45] Sakurai
Kuwata Seiji was the only person with
a key to lock the room from the outside.
[02:51] Takao
Nope. Kuwata Ryuichiro has a key, too.
[02:54] Sakurai
Ah, but you see...
[02:57] Sakurai
Kuwata Ryuichiro has a fairly solid alibi.
[03:00] Takao
Alibi?
[03:02] Sakurai
Yes, that's right.
[03:04] Sakurai
Several people were with Kuwata Ryuichiro
from Kuwata Daiki's ejection from the party
[03:09] Sakurai
right up until the discovery
of his body in the study.
[03:13] Sakurai
No one's reported him
doing anything suspicious.
[03:16] Yu
So there were witnesses, huh?
[03:18] Sakurai
On top of that, a young servant
took a video on her smartphone
[03:22] Sakurai
when they entered the study
where the crime was committed.
[03:26] Yu
Huh? There's footage of
Kuwata Seiji being discovered?
[03:31] Sakurai
Yes, that's right.
[03:33] Sakurai
That video is what made us believe
this was likely a murder case,
[03:38] Sakurai
triggering an investigation at HQ.
[03:41] Sakurai
He spurted up a large amount of water
when the chest compressions started.
[03:46] Sakurai
After viewing that video, no one would
believe he died from illness or suicide.
[03:52] Takao
So no one was in the room
with him at the time?
[03:56] Sakurai
Right. The video showed the whole interior
and no one else was in there.
[04:02] Sakurai
The video also confirmed
that all the windows were locked.
[04:09] Waitress
Thank you for waiting.
[04:11] Waitress
Who ordered the seasonal special,
the starry sky curry?
[04:14] Takao
That's me!
[04:15] Yu
I ordered the doria.
[04:24] Takao
Delicious.
[04:26] Sakurai
Considering all the evidence,
[04:29] Sakurai
everyone believes the culprit
has to be Kuwata Seiji.
[04:33] Sakurai
After all, it's obvious he's lying.
[04:35] Yu
Lying?
[04:37] Sakurai
Yes, that's right.
[04:38] Sakurai
When we asked him for an alibi,
he averted his eyes
[04:43] Sakurai
and trembled as he kept repeating
that he'd parked up the street in his car.
[04:49] Sakurai
Anyone could see he was
obviously hiding something.
[04:54] Sakurai
Even so, I don't think
Kuwata Seiji is the culprit.
[04:59] Yu
Why do you say that?
[05:01] Sakurai
Let's just call it detective's intuition.
[05:04] Yu
Intuition?
[05:06] Sakurai
Work as a detective for over 20 years,
and you get a feeling for this kind of thing.
[05:12] Sakurai
You can just tell if the person
in front of you has killed or not.
[05:21] Yu
Hey, what are you doing?
[05:23] Takao
Carrots are good for you. Eat up.
[05:25] Yu
Then, eat 'em yourself. And how can it
be called a "starry sky" curry now?
[05:29] Takao
So, anyway, what do you think
happened in that study?
[05:34] Sakurai
I believe Kuwata Daiki snuck into
the room and locked the door himself.
[05:41] Sakurai
He probably planned to steal
a bankbook or a land deed.
[05:45] Takao
Then? What happened after that?
[05:47] Sakurai
I have no idea.
[05:50] Sakurai
That's why I'm hoping to borrow
some of your wisdom, Dr. Ameku.
[05:58] Takao
Other than Kuwata Seiji,
[06:00] Takao
do the police have a list of people with
possible motives for killing Kuwata Daiki?
[06:05] Sakurai
No, we haven't made much progress there.
[06:08] Sakurai
But I think there's probably a lot of people
who held a grudge against Kuwata Daiki.
[06:13] Sakurai
He was deeply involved in the underworld.
[06:17] Takao
A member of organized crime?
[06:18] Sakurai
Well, I'd call him more of a partial member.
[06:22] Sakurai
He has convictions for assault, extortion,
and violations of the Stimulants Control Act.
[06:28] Yu
Stimulants?
[06:30] Sakurai
He was a stimulants dealer.
His financial situation was quite dire.
[06:36] Sakurai
But we discovered that he'd received
a deposit of two million yen last month.
[06:42] Yu
Two million?
[06:43] Takao
What was the money for?
[06:45] Sakurai
We don't know.
[06:46] Sakurai
HQ believes the money was obtained
through blackmail and is investigating.
[06:53] Takao
Blackmail, huh?
[06:56] Takao
Come to think of it,
the police launched this investigation
[06:59] Takao
because of an internal whistleblower, right?
[07:02] Takao
Who was the whistleblower?
[07:04] Sakurai
We don't actually know.
[07:07] Sakurai
Tanashi Police Station
received an anonymous tip.
[07:10] Takao
An anonymous whistleblower, huh?
[07:13] Takao
Is it possible for me to see the video
of the moment Kuwata Daiki was found?
[07:17] Sakurai
No, that's really not possible.
[07:20] Takao
What the heck? So stingy.
[07:22] Sakurai
Although...
[07:24] Sakurai
Since the video was recorded by
one of Kuwata Ryuichiro's servants,
[07:30] Sakurai
I'm sure he'd let you see it if you ask him.
[07:33] Takao
Oh, I see. I just need
to ask Kuwata Ryuichiro.
[07:38] Takao
Sorry, my bad. Well, don't worry about it.
[07:40] Yu
Of course I will.
[07:42] Takao
Okay! I'd like to talk to Kuwata Seiji, too.
[07:42] Yu
Man, I don't think this is going to come out.
[07:47] Sakurai
You'd better hurry
if you want to talk to him.
[07:51] Takao
Why's that?
[07:53] Sakurai
From here on out, I'm just talking to myself.
[07:57] Sakurai
An arrest warrant for Kuwata Seiji
will be issued in the next few days.
[08:02] Takao/Yu
Huh?
[08:03] Sakurai
After that, any regular citizens won't
get the opportunity to talk to him.
[08:08] Yu
He's going to be arrested
without definitive evidence?
[08:11] Sakurai
They're arresting him because of that lack of
evidence, so he can be interrogated longer.
[08:17] Yu
That's so overbearing.
[08:19] Yu
I mean, even if Kuwata-senpai
did drown his own brother,
[08:23] Yu
why drag the body up
to the second-floor study?
[08:26] Sakurai
Unless the solution to this
locked-room mystery finds otherwise,
[08:30] Sakurai
Kuwata Seiji is the only person
with a key who could have done it.
[08:35] Takao
Kotori, have you been able
to reach Kuwata Seiji?
[08:39] Yu
I've been trying, but he hasn't answered
any of my phone calls or text messages.
[08:47] Sakurai
Dr. Ameku. Dr. Takanashi.
[08:50] Sakurai
There's one more thing
I'd like to say to myself out loud.
SIGN Metropolitan Police
SIGN Tanashi Police Station
SIGN Metropolitan Police
SIGN Tanashi Police Station
[09:04] Takao
It's already 10.
Do you think it's still going on?
[09:08] Yu
He's likely being questioned
late into the night every day.
[09:12] Takao
Well, since this is the only way to see him before
he's arrested, all we can do is wait.
[09:19] Yu
If Kuwata-senpai gets arrested...
[09:24] Yu
it'll be over, won't it?
[09:25] Takao
"Over"?
[09:27] Yu
I won't get to stick my nose into
various cases with you like this anymore.
[09:33] Takao
Huh? What are you talking about?
[09:36] Takao
If we prove Kuwata Seiji's innocence,
you'll stay in Investigative Pathology.
[09:42] Yu
I'd also like to stay and continue
to learn from you, Dr. Takao.
[09:48] Yu
But there's no way we can
solve this case in just a few—
[09:53] Yu
Wh-What was that for?
[09:55] Takao
You're saying stupid stuff.
[09:57] Takao
Don't you believe in me?
[09:59] Yu
I do. One hundred...
[10:02] Yu
No, two hundred percent.
I really do believe in you.
[10:04] Takao
Then stop saying stupid stuff and keep watch.
[10:10] Yu
Sorry.
[10:19] Yu
Do you think the police want to question us?
[10:22] Takao
Huh?
[10:24] Yu
Should we leave for a little bit?
[10:29] Takao
Okay.
[10:31] Yu
Huh?
[10:37] Yu
W-W-Wait, uh, what are you doing, Dr. Takao?!
[10:40] Takao
Just hurry up and embrace me.
[10:42] Yu
Huh? I don't want to!
[10:43] Takao
What do you mean you don't "want" to?
I'm not doing this because I want to.
[10:47] Yu
Wait, D-Dr. Takao?
[10:48] Takao
Shut up and get to it.
[11:08] Takao
Yeah, just like this.
[11:11] Takao
Got it? Don't move.
[11:29] Takao
Good. We're in the clear.
[11:33] Yu
Wh-What the heck was that just now?
[11:35] Takao
Hm? Doesn't it happen a lot in movies?
[11:39] Takao
Acting out a romantic scene so
people don't find out you're on a stakeout.
[11:42] Yu
That's no reason to suddenly...
[11:44] Takao
What else could we have done?
[11:46] Takao
I didn't exactly want to hug
a scruffy schlub like you, either.
[11:50] Yu
Sorry for being "scruffy," I guess.
[11:52] Takao
Well, you got a win in the end.
Weren't you happy I hugged you?
[11:57] Yu
Nope. I was more scared than happy.
I had no idea what you were gonna do.
[12:02] Takao
What are you saying?
[12:03] Takao
A man should be happy
when a woman embraces him.
[12:07] Yu
Depends on the woman.
It's not as simple as that.
[12:11] Takao
What the heck is wrong with you?
[12:13] Takao
You were embraced by a lady like me,
[12:15] Takao
and as a man, you weren't
happy or excited at all?!
[12:19] Yu
Dr. Takao, over there.
[12:20] Takao
You really think I'll let you
change the subject?
[12:23] Yu
I'm not trying to.
[12:25] Yu
It's Kuwata-senpai.
[12:27] Yu
He came out of the station.
[12:40] Takao
You must be Kuwata Seiji.
[12:42] Seiji
Yes?
[12:45] Yu
It's been a while, Kuwata-senpai.
[12:49] Seiji
Takanashi?
[12:54] Seiji
Well, come on up.
[12:56] Seiji
Sorry about the mess.
[12:58] Takao
It really is a mess in here.
[13:01] Seiji
The press and the police have
been questioning me nonstop.
[13:05] Yu
Dr. Takao, your house is just as messy—
[13:08] Yu
R-Right in the same place as last time.
[13:09] Takao
I've told you multiple times.
[13:11] Takao
That's not mess.
Everything's in its proper place.
[13:15] Takao
This is why you're a birdbrain!
[13:17] Yu
Calling me a birdbrain again?
[13:19] Seiji
So what did you want to talk about?
[13:22] Seiji
You even went out of your way
to wait for me at the police station.
[13:25] Takao
We obviously want to talk to you
about your brother's death.
[13:29] Seiji
I'm already annoyed about being dragged
into something I have no idea about.
[13:34] Seiji
Don't stick your noses in for kicks.
[13:37] Takao
I'll uncover the truth.
[13:40] Takao
A genius like me can uncover
the truth of any case,
[13:45] Takao
as long as I have all the information I need.
[13:48] Seiji
Hey, Takanashi. Who in the world is this?
[13:52] Yu
I know she's weird—
[13:54] Yu
She's a tad eccentric, but Dr. Takao has
solved all sorts of difficult cases before.
[14:01] Yu
I'm sure she can help.
Will you please tell us your story?
[14:08] Seiji
Well, since you're going that far...
[14:11] Takao
First, tell me what happened when
Kuwata Daiki came to the party hall.
[14:17] Seiji
My brother was fighting with my father,
so I ran over to reprimand him.
[14:23] Takao
And then?
[14:25] Seiji
My brother suddenly turned to me,
grabbed my jacket with both hands,
[14:33] Seiji
then hit me in the head
as hard as he could.
[14:36] Takao
I heard you were bleeding pretty bad,
but you didn't go to the hospital that day.
[14:44] Seiji
The bleeding stopped right away,
[14:46] Seiji
so I didn't think there was
a need to go to the hospital.
[14:49] Seiji
That's why I parked up
a short way away and sat there.
[14:57] Yu
Kuwata-senpai, please tell us the truth.
[15:00] Seiji
That is the truth.
[15:02] Seiji
I really was alone in my car.
[15:05] Takao
A woman.
[15:07] Seiji
Huh?
[15:08] Takao
It's a woman, isn't it?
[15:10] Seiji
What are you saying?
[15:12] Takao
You met up with a woman
after leaving the party.
[15:16] Takao
You went to her house. Am I right?
[15:19] Seiji
No. I really just stayed in my car.
Don't make such wild accusations.
[15:24] Takao
Seguchi Yuko.
[15:26] Seiji
What?
[15:27] Yu
Hm?
[15:29] Yu
You mean Seguchi-san?
[15:32] Takao
Yeah, this man went to
see that plastic surgeon.
[15:36] Seiji
No, you're wrong. What's your basis for that?
Don't make stuff up.
[15:41] Takao
My basis?
[15:42] Takao
The scar on your forehead.
[15:48] Takao
Kotori, you can tell as a former surgeon.
[15:52] Yu
Sorry to be a bother, but could you show me?
[15:58] Yu
This is w-plasty.
[16:01] Takao
Yeah. The wound was stitched up
using a very advanced technique.
[16:06] Takao
But on your medical notes, Seguchi Yuko wrote
the wound wasn't bad enough to need stitches.
[16:13] Seiji
That's...
[16:15] Yu
In other words, on that day,
after Kuwata-senpai left the party,
[16:19] Yu
he went to Dr. Seguchi's home
and had her take a look at his wound?
[16:24] Yu
But why would he try to hide that?
[16:26] Takao
You're so dense.
[16:28] Takao
Put simply, this guy's having
an affair with Seguchi Yuko.
[16:32] Yu
What?!
[16:33] Takao
But that woman's terrible, too.
[16:36] Takao
She'd rather keep their affair a secret
than give her lover an alibi.
[16:39] Seiji
That's not true!
[16:40] Seiji
Yuko-san said we should tell the police
even if it meant revealing our affair.
[16:47] Seiji
I was the one who stopped her.
[16:49] Takao
You're going to be arrested at this rate.
[16:52] Seiji
Arrested?
[16:53] Takao
Yeah, that's right. I got that info
from the police, so I'm sure of it.
[16:57] Seiji
No way.
[16:59] Seiji
I didn't kill my brother!
[17:01] Takao
Then, you should get Seguchi Yuko
to confirm your alibi.
[17:05] Takao
Just be careful and make sure
her husband doesn't find out.
[17:09] Seiji
How?
[17:11] Takao
Hm, let's see...
[17:13] Takao
Is it possible to call Seguchi Yuko here?
[17:26] Sakurai
I see.
[17:29] Sakurai
That account probably won't be enough.
[17:33] Sakurai
Kuwata Seiji will still be arrested.
[17:36] Takao
Why? These two were making out
when the incident happened!
[17:41] Takao
That's a reasonable alibi!
[17:43] Yu
Making out, she says.
[17:45] Sakurai
Since they're lovers, Dr. Seguchi is
no longer an uninvolved third party.
[17:50] Sakurai
She would be considered
someone close to the suspect.
[17:54] Sakurai
HQ will just think Dr. Seiji asked his lover,
Dr. Seguchi, to make up an alibi for him.
[18:02] Yuko
No way.
[18:04] Yuko
Seiji-san was definitely at my house.
[18:07] Yuko
I'm not lying!
[18:11] Sakurai
I wish there was some way to get
third-party confirmation of that.
[18:15] Sakurai
Either way, as of right now, Dr. Seiji is
the only one capable of committing the crime.
[18:21] Yuko
I can't believe he's going to
be arrested because of that.
[18:26] Yu

the locked-room mystery,

and make it possible for someone other
than Kuwata-senpai to be the culprit.

Damn it. Brother, hurry up!
[18:51] Kojiro
It's locked and won't open.

Duh... Daiki.
[19:00] Takao
Stop there, Kotori.
[19:01] Yu
Oh, right.
[19:03] Takao
Were you the one who vomited?
[19:06] Ryuichiro
I wasn't feeling too good that day
after Daiki showed up.
[19:12] Ryuichiro
I felt a wave of nausea and dizziness
as I was going up the stairs,
[19:17] Ryuichiro
and once the door was open...
[19:18] Takao
You vomited.
[19:21] Takao
There was no one else in the room
and the windows were all shut.
[19:26] Takao
It's definitely a locked-room case.
[19:29] Takao
Continue.
[19:30] Yu
Right.
[19:32] Takao
If Kuwata Seiji isn't the culprit,
[19:36] Kojiro
He's in cardiac arrest.
[19:36] Takao
there's a chance Kuwata Daiki
locked the room from inside.

You noticed, too?
[20:25] Ryuichiro
What are you talking about?
[20:27] Ryuichiro
The police watched this video
and didn't find anything suspicious.
[20:31] Yu
No, there's definitely
something suspicious about it.
[20:34] Yu
I just don't know what
it has to do with this case.
[20:37] Takao

Director Kuwata Kojiro.
[01:07] Kojiro
Bah. What in the world?!
Why are all of you here?!
[01:11] Takao
Right back at you. What business
do you have in the chairman's office?
[01:15] Kojiro
I-I'm just—
[01:16] Takao
You received a message from
Kuwata Ryuichiro, didn't you?
[01:20] Takao
"The issue around the death certificate
has been dismissed,
[01:23] Takao
and Seiji is clear of all suspicion."
[01:26] Takao
"With that settled, I'll announce Seiji's
appointment as the next chairman tomorrow."
[01:33] Takao
And then, he probably added, "The police
want to search the chairman's office,
[01:38] Takao
so be sure to assist them tomorrow."
[01:40] Kojiro
H-How do you know all that?
[01:42] Takao
Those were lies I had
Kuwata Ryuichiro send to you.
[01:47] Takao
It was all a trap to lure you out.
[01:51] Kojiro
What did you say?
[01:53] Sakurai
Dr. Ameku, why don't you
let us all in on the secret?
[01:58] Takao
Sure.
[01:59] Takao
First of all, how did the
locked room come into existence?
[02:03] Takao
If Kuwata Seiji wasn't to blame,
[02:06] Takao
there was a good chance Kuwata Daiki snuck
into the study and locked the door from inside.
[02:12] Takao
If so, why did he do that?
[02:15] Sakurai
Perhaps he was trying to steal
valuables from the study?
[02:19] Takao
But nothing in the room was disturbed.
[02:23] Takao
So I started wondering...
[02:25] Takao
What if he snuck into the room
to put something there?
[02:31] Sakurai
The police conducted a thorough search,
but nothing unusual was found in the study.
[02:38] Takao
I figured as much.
[02:39] Takao
But there was a clue in the footage of the
incident that any doctor should've noticed.
[02:44] Takao
Kotori, you noticed it, didn't you?
[02:47] Yu
Yes. The director's actions after discovering
Kuwata Daiki were clearly strange.
[02:54] Yu
I just don't know why he did what he did.
[02:58] Naruse
I watched that video myself.
[03:01] Naruse
He confirmed the victim's heart
had stopped and started compressions.
[03:06] Naruse
I didn't notice anything strange.
[03:10] Yu
His actions were fine for a normal person.
[03:13] Yu
However, the director is a cardiologist.
[03:16] Sakurai
What does that change?
[03:18] Yu
Any doctor experienced in first aid
would call out to the patient,
[03:23] Yu
then tap them to see if they're conscious.
[03:27] Yu
But...
[03:29] Takao
The way you checked his breathing
and pulse was strange, too.
[03:34] Takao
Normally, you check the
carotid artery for a pulse.
[03:37] Takao
And for breath, you observe the chest rising
or bring your ear close to the mouth.
[03:43] Takao
Yet the first thing you did
was place your ear to his chest.
[03:48] Kojiro
Well, at the time, I just panicked—
[03:52] Takao
You were searching, weren't you?
[03:55] Takao
For the item Kuwata Daiki
was trying to put in the study.
[04:01] Takao
Kuwata Daiki was just
following instructions.
[04:06] Naruse/Yu
Huh?
[04:07] Takao
The two million yen in his bank account
was probably from this guy, too.
[04:13] Takao
In other words, he ordered
Kuwata Daiki to crash the party
[04:16] Takao
and injure his little brother, Kuwata Seiji.
[04:21] Sakurai
Why would he do that?
[04:23] Takao
He wanted to stop the announcement that
Kuwata Seiji would be the next chairman.
[04:28] Takao
He thought he was going to be
appointed as the next chairman.
[04:33] Takao
But Kuwata Ryuichiro decided to name
his son, Seiji, as the next in line.
[04:38] Takao
That's why he reached out to his nephew,
Daiki, who he was already in contact with,
[04:43] Takao
and used him to try to bring Ryuichiro down.
[04:46] Takao
And he'd do that by using
a certain something.
[04:49] Naruse
A certain something?
[04:50] Takao
It's something that
connects him to Kuwata Daiki.
[04:54] Takao
And he currently has it in his hand.
[05:02] Takao
Stop him! He's gonna swallow it!
[05:07] Kojiro
Ow, ow, ow!
[05:09] Kojiro
L-Let go!
[05:11] Kojiro
Let go of me!
[05:12] Yu
A bag?
[05:15] Sakurai
These are...
[05:16] Takao
Stimulants.
[05:17] Yu
Huh?
[05:18] Takao
Kuwata Daiki was a stimulants dealer.
[05:22] Takao
This guy had been buying
stimulants off him and taking them.
[05:27] Sakurai
How did you come to that conclusion?
[05:29] Takao
When we talked to him last time,
SIGN Vaccine Information for Children
[05:31] Takao
he complained about not having slept
in days, but he didn't look tired at all.
[05:36] Takao
That's a side effect of stimulants.
[05:40] Takao
His morbidly thin body is also a common
side-effect of a stimulant addiction.
[05:45] Takao
He was planning to have Daiki
stash stimulants in the study,
[05:49] Takao
then report it to the police.
[05:52] Takao
Kuwata Ryuichiro was probably
feeling sick at the party
[05:56] Takao
because this guy had
drugged him with stimulants.
[06:01] Takao
He won't be able to make any excuses
[06:03] Takao
if stimulants are found in his study
and his urine also tests positive for it.
[06:09] Naruse
So the reason he came here today...
[06:11] Takao
Things didn't quite go according to plan,
[06:14] Takao
but he was still able to get rid of both
Kuwata Ryuichiro and Kuwata Seiji.
[06:20] Takao
I'll bet he's the anonymous whistleblower, too.
[06:23] Takao
Due to all that, he was sure
he'd be the next chairman.
[06:29] Takao
But he panicked after receiving
false information from Ryuichiro,
[06:34] Takao
and easily fell into my trap.
[06:36] Takao
He showed up to plant
stimulants in this room.
[06:41] Sakurai
I see. For now, we can arrest you
for possession of stimulants.
[06:46] Naruse
You'd better tell us how
you murdered Kuwata Daiki.
[06:50] Kojiro
W-Wait! That had nothing to do with me!
I don't know anything!
[06:55] Sakurai
Sure, sure. You can tell us all
the details down at the station.
[06:59] Kojiro
I really don't know anything!
[07:00] Kojiro
I was just as surprised
when we entered the study.
[07:10] Takao
What?!
[07:12] Takao
You're still going to arrest Kuwata Seiji?!
[07:15] Yu
Why?
[07:16] Sakurai
We interrogated Kuwata Kojiro fully
after what happened last night, but...
[07:21] (Flashback) Kojiro
It's true that I regularly
bought stimulants from Daiki.
[07:26] (Flashback) Kojiro
I was so busy with work,
I couldn't carry on without them.
[07:31] (Flashback) Kojiro
But I was really confused
when I entered the study.
[07:34] (Flashback) Kojiro
Daiki should've planted the stimulants and
slipped out, but he'd collapsed on the floor.
[07:39] (Flashback) Kojiro
My plan would've been discovered
if the stimulants had been found on him.
[07:44] Kojiro
That's why I panicked and pretended to
check for a pulse while searching his body.
[07:49] Kojiro
I quickly took them from his jacket...
[07:51] (Flashback) Kojiro
...but I wasn't the one who killed him!
[07:56] Kojiro
He admitted to everything you said,
apart from Kuwata Daiji's murder.
[08:03] Takao
I thought we'd be able to glean
new information after his arrest.
[08:09] Sakurai
Well, now we know what led
to the incident on that day,
[08:13] Sakurai
but the most important mystery
still hasn't been solved.
[08:19] Sakurai
Do you know, Dr. Ameku, how
a person can drown in a locked room?
[08:25] Sakurai
Kuwata Seiji will remain our most
likely suspect until that mystery is solved.
[08:33] Sakurai
The way it's going, he'll be arrested
within the next few days.

[12:58] Takao
Didn't he lose a lot of blood
after being punched in the head?
[13:01] Yu
No, I don't think so.

It's difficult to cut deep enough to
require forehead stitches with just a punch.
[13:10] Yu
But you see lots of blood dripping down

[13:14] Yu
That's due to cuts near the eyelid

[14:31] Takao
That's why I gathered you all here.
[14:35] Naruse
Are you trying to say
the real culprit is in this room?
[14:39] Takao
The biggest mystery in this case was how
Kuwata Daiki could have drowned to death.
[14:47] Takao
And the reason I couldn't solve this mystery
was because I made one incorrect assumption.
[14:54] Takao
I believed Kuwata Daiki had punched
his younger brother at the party.
[14:59] Takao
But Kotori pointed out my mistake.
[15:03] Takao
Your brother didn't punch you, did he?
[15:07] Seiji
That's right.
[15:09] Seiji
He grabbed my jacket with
both hands and headbutted me.
[15:15] Naruse
Does it matter whether he was punched
or headbutted? He got hurt all the same.
[15:20] Takao
It's not the same. Not at all.
[15:23] Takao
I realized something after finding out
Kuwata Daiki had likely headbutted his brother.
[15:30] Takao
I'd missed a star.
[15:36] Naruse
Huh?
[15:37] Naruse
How is any of this related to stars?
[15:39] Takao
Let me explain.
[15:47] Seiji
A CT scan of the head?
[15:48] Takao
Yeah. Kuwata Daiki's, in this case.
[15:51] Takao
The cerebral swelling
in this image was so severe,
[15:54] Takao
I didn't notice another finding.
[15:57] Takao
Here.
[15:59] Takao
It's faint, but you can just
make out a star. The Star of David.
[16:04] Seiji/Yuko
Huh?
[16:06] Yu
SAH?
[16:07] Sakurai
What's SAH?
[16:10] Yu
A subarachnoid hemorrhage.
[16:12] Yu
When a patient has a subarachnoid hemorrhage,
a white pentagon appears in the center.
[16:18] Yu
It's called the Star of David.
[16:21] Takao
It shows very faintly on the image,
[16:24] Takao
but Kuwata Daiki definitely had
a subarachnoid hemorrhage that day.
[16:30] Seiji
Does that mean...
[16:31] Takao
That's right. He got it
when he headbutted you.
[16:36] Takao
The impact caused a traumatic
subarachnoid hemorrhage.
[16:40] Sakurai
Hold on a second.
[16:42] Sakurai
Folk with subarachnoid hemorrhages
lose consciousness on the spot,
[16:47] Sakurai
and lose all ability to move, don't they?
[16:49] Takao
Only in severe cases.
[16:51] Takao
If the amount of bleeding is small,
it may only manifest as a mild headache.
[16:55] Sakurai
Um, but didn't the victim die from drowning?
[17:01] Takao
He sure did.
[17:02] Takao
On the day of the incident,
[17:04] Takao
Kuwata Daiki left the party hall after
suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
[17:09] Takao
A few hours later, he came back to
the mansion, blending in with the guests.
[17:14] Takao
He snuck into the study on the third floor
and locked the door from the inside.
[17:19] Takao
Then, he started planting the stimulants
in the room, as Kuwata Kojiro had instructed.
[17:24] Takao
That's when it happened.
[17:42] Takao
The water that drowned Kuwata Daiki
[17:45] Takao
was produced by his own body.
[17:50] Sakurai
His own body?
[17:51] Takao
That's right.
[17:52] Takao
To be precise, a pulmonary edema
caused water to leak into his lungs.

What's a pulmonary edema?
[17:59] Yu
It's a condition where water accumulates
in the lungs, making it impossible to breathe.
[18:04] Takao
Kuwata Daiki suffered
a severe acute pulmonary edema,
SIGN Internal Line: 05 Reception Room
SIGN Call Ended
[18:07] Takao
so he tried to call for help on
the internal line and leave the room.
[18:12] Takao
But he ran out of strength.
[18:17] Seiji
But Dr. Ameku...
[18:19] Takao
Hm? What is it?
[18:21] Seiji
What caused the pulmonary
edema in my brother?
[18:25] Takao
Huh?
[18:26] Takao
Kotori. You know, right?
[18:29] Takao
I haven't mentored you
for eight months for nothing.
[18:33] Yu
It was a neurogenic pulmonary edema
caused by the subarachnoid hemorrhage.
[18:39] Takao
Correct.
[18:41] Yu
It's a fairly rare type of pulmonary edema,
[18:44] Yu
where fluid suddenly leaks into the lungs
hours after trauma to the head,
[18:48] Yu
making it difficult to breathe.
[18:51] Takao
Normally, a forensic autopsy would have
easily revealed this cause of death.
[18:55] Takao
However, since this guy thought
his son might be a murderer,
[19:00] Takao
he cremated the body
without notifying the police,
[19:03] Takao
and caused this whole mess.
[19:06] Ryuichiro
I'm so sorry.
[19:08] Seiji
Then...
[19:10] Takao
Yeah, you're not to blame.
[19:17] Takao
No one murdered Kuwata Daiki
in the first place.
[19:22] Takao
Everyone was merely chasing
after the illusion of a murder case.
[19:28] Takao
That's the truth of this mystery.
[19:33] Sakurai
My, my. Thank you again, Dr. Ameku.
[19:38] Sakurai
I'll take full responsibility
for reporting this to HQ.
[19:43] Sakurai
There is no longer a need
to arrest Dr. Seiji.
[19:46] Takao
Yeah, I'll leave it with you.
[19:48] Takao
Okay, Kotori. Let's head back.
[19:52] Yu
Sure thing.

Dr. Takao!
[20:40] Takao
W-Well, you can work here
in the coming years if you want.
[20:44] Takao
I don't care who my subordinates are,
since I do just fine on my own.
[20:50] Takao
But it's convenient to have someone
like you to help with the small stuff—
[20:53] Mai
Dr. Takao really blows hot and cold.
[20:56] Takao
I do not! I'm saying that as the director
of Investigative Pathology—
[20:59] Takao
Why are you grinning like that, Kotori?
[21:02] Yu
Oh, no reason.
[21:04] Mazuru
Please continue to take care
of my little sister.
[21:07] Yu
Right.
[21:08] Mai
Good for you, Dr. Kotori.

[21:31] Takao
Now, time for our afternoon rounds.
[21:34] Takao
Let's go, Kotori.
[21:35] Yu

[21:55] Yu
Oh, I just wanted to thank you properly.

Don't worry, Kotori.

[22:26] Yu
I look forward to it, Dr. Takao.
[22:30] Takao
Yeah, you should.
