SIGN    Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[02:13] Takao
    The onmyoji were originally formed
    during the Asuka period by Emperor Tenmu,
[02:17] Takao
    when he created the Bureau of Onmyo,
    which was responsible for divinations.
[02:23] Takao
    The most famous among them
    was probably Abe no Seimei.
[02:26] Yu
    Oh, he turns up a lot in
    Japanese fantasy movies and games.
[02:30] Yu
    He's often depicted as a user of magic.
[02:33] Takao
    That's because onmyoji were experts in
    exorcising vengeful spirits, prayer, and curses.
[02:39] Yu
    I see.
[02:40] Yu
    So this Murota-san we're meeting
    is a history professor, right?
SIGN    Murota
SIGN    October 19 (Saturday)
[02:45] Yu
    Why's a history professor asking
    for help from doctors like us?
[02:50] Takao
    He's heard rumors about me.
[02:53] Takao
    He knows I'm a genius
    who's solved various difficult cases.
[02:57] Yu
    So what?
[02:59] Takao
    He wants me to solve an onmyoji's curse.
[03:04] Yu
    Curses again, huh?
[03:07] Takao
    Pretty interesting, right?
[03:19] Murota
    Excuse me.
[03:20] Murota
    Dr. Ameku.
[03:22] Murota
    Do you know anything about
     the onmyoji, Ashiya Doman?
SIGN    Professor of Suimei University's
    Department of Japanese History
    Murota Muneharu
[03:26] Takao
    He was also known as Doma Hoshi.
[03:29] Takao
    He was reportedly Abe no Seimei's rival, and the
    most notable hoshi onmyoji of the Heian period.
[03:35] Aoi
    You live up to your reputation, Dr. Ameku.
[03:37] Aoi
    You know your stuff.
SIGN    Assistant Professor of Teito University's
     Japanese History Course
    Kuramoto Aoi
[03:39] Ameku
    His name's recorded in historical documents
    like Uji Shui Monogatari and Mineaiki.
[03:43] Murota
    Right.
[03:44] Murota
    However, we're still not completely sure...
[03:47] Murota
    ...about the existence of Ashiya Doman.
[03:48] Yu
    "Hoshi onmyoji"? "Ashiya Doman"?
[03:51] Aoi
    To begin with, there aren't
    many documents on hoshi onmyoji.
[03:52] Kagaya
    Sorry about them.
[03:54] Kagaya
    When talking about their research,
    they all get really excited.
SIGN    Murota's Assistant
    Kagaya Masashi
[03:55] Murota
    Unlike bureau onmyoji, it's rare for them to
    appear in aristocratic historical documents.
[04:00] Yu
    Seems we both have genius superiors
    who are hard to work with.
[04:00] Takao
    Even the Harima Kagami was written
    700 years after the onmyoji flourished.
[04:05] Takao
    We can't be sure if
    those records are even accurate.
[04:06] Kagaya
    So true.
[04:09] Murota
    You're very knowledgeable.
[04:11] Murota
    However...
[04:17] Aoi
    We found an old document in the
    storage room of Professor Murota's house.
[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
    We continued our research
    and finally discovered
[04:47] Aoi
    that Ashiya Enzo escaped to Kanto
     and settled down in Kamakura.
[04:51] Aoi
    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.
SIGN    Ashiya
[09:43] Yu
    So heavy.
[09:44] Yu
    What in the world is in here?
[09:46] Yu
    We even went to the trouble
    of stopping by the hospital for it.
[09:48] Takao
    You'll find out soon enough. Just hurry up.
[09:51] Yuuta
    Hey, what're you doin'
    trespassin' on our property?
[09:58] Yuuta
    Aw, hell. It's you again.
[10:00] Takao
    Who the heck are you?
[10:03] Yuuta
    I'm the head of the Ashiya Family,
    Ashiya Yuuta.
[10:07] Yu
    The family head?
[10:08] Yuuta
    Who the hell're you guys?
[10:10] Takao
    I'm the director of Tenikai General's
    Investigative Pathology Department, Ameku Takao.
[10:14] Takao
    This is my assistant, Kotori.
[10:15] Yu
    It's Takanashi.
[10:17] Yuuta
    Kotori? Takanashi?
[10:20] Yuuta
    What's a doc doin' here
    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.
[11:04] Yuuta
    Huh?
[11:06] Takao
    So get out of the way.
[11:07] Yuuta
    You lookin' down on me?!
[11:10] Takao
    Ow!
[11:11] Takao
    What are you do—
[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
    Bastard.
[11:36] Yu
    Let's go.
[11:38] Takao
    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.
[12:57] Yu
    What? Uh, m-me?
[13:00] Takao
    You're the only one here
    who's strong enough to lift it.
[13:05] Takao
    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
    I thought so.
[14:10] Yu
    Huh?
[14:12] Takao
    Where does Ikari live?
[14:13] Aoi
    Huh? In Tanashi.
[14:15] Takao
    We have supporting proof.
[14:17] Takao
    Now, we just need to take her with us.
[14:19] Yu
    Dr. Takao?
[14:21] Takao
    Let's go now. Take me there.
[14:23] Yu
    Now?
[14:25] Takao
    Let's go solve Enzo's curse.
SIGN    Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[14:35] Ikari
    I'm going to be killed.
[14:37] Ikari
    E-Enzo's cursed me to die.
[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!
[14:51] Ikari
    I-I won't go to the hospital.
[14:53] Ikari
    Th-This is a curse.
[14:56] Michiko
    Please come out of there!
[14:57] Michiko
    The doctors will definitely
    be able to help you!
[14:59] Ikari
    Shut up!
[15:01] Ikari
    Everyone should just disappear!
[15:05] Ikari
    So hot. My head... My head feels so hot.
[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—
[16:01] Takao
    Kotori.
[16:02] Takao
    Break down the door.
[16:03] Yu/Sumida
    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.
[19:44] Yu
    Kuramoto-san.
[19:46] Aoi
    Dr. Takanashi.
[19:48] Yu
    You smoke, huh?
[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
    the mystery of the curse.
