[02:33] Kumakawa
    Looking at the ECG, Atsushi-kun definitely
     experienced a cardiac arrest last night.
[02:39] Kumakawa
    We immediately started chest compressions,
    and his heartbeat resumed soon after.
[02:44] Yamada
    What in the world happened?
[02:46] Yamada
    His illness shouldn't cause
    sudden cardiac arrests.
[02:51] Takao
    You're absolutely right.
[02:53] Takao
    Honestly, I never expected
    such a stupid mistake.
[02:57] Yu
    Dr. Takao?
[02:59] Takao
    I'm the one at fault this time.
[03:03] Kumakawa
    What do you mean by that?
[03:04] Takao
    It's fine. It's no big deal.
[03:07] Yamada
    "No big deal"? A child
    went into cardiac arrest!
[03:11] Takao
    The cardiac arrest was caused by a mistake.
[03:14] Takao
    Not mine. The culprit's.
[03:16] Yu
    So there is someone behind all this?
[03:18] Takao
    Yeah, of course.
[03:20] Takao
    They're to blame for last night, what
    happened to the three kids, and the "angel".
[03:27] Yu
    Huh?
[03:27] Mai
    Huh? The angel, too?
[03:29] Kumakawa
    Taka-chan, who in the world
     could be behind it all?
[03:35] Takao
    I'll give you my diagnosis for this mystery.
[03:42] Kids (not sure which)
    Atsushi, that way.
[03:43] Kids (not sure which)
    Now, go back.
[03:46] Atsushi
    Wh-What is it?
[03:49] Takao
    You're being discharged.
[03:51] Atsushi
    Huh?
[03:52] Mai/Kuma/Yu
    What?
[03:52] Takao
    You three are all better.
[03:56] Takao
    Well, preparations need to be made,
    so we'll do it tomorrow.
[04:00] Atsushi
    Hey, hold up a second.
[04:02] Atsushi
    My heart stopped last night.
[04:04] Yu
    Um, Dr. Takao? At the very least,
    we can't discharge Atsushi-kun just yet.
[04:08] Takao
    These guys won't have any other issues.
[04:11] Takao
    They'll be fine once they're home.
[04:12] Kumakawa
    Taka-chan, at least explain—
[04:14] Takao
    Whatever. Discharge them.
    They're being discharged.
[04:17] Takao
    I'm the vice-director of this hospital.
[04:19] Takao
    If I say discharge them,
    they get discharged.

    I'll go change the IV drip.
[04:57] Nurse A
    Please take care of Rooms 705 and 706.
[05:01] Nurse B
    Right.
[05:18] Takao
    I figured you'd come here
     at around this time.
[05:22] Takao
    The nurse station is usually
    unmanned for a short period,
[05:25] Mai/Yu
    Huh?
[05:26] Takao
    and there's a chance you won't pull it off
    in time if you wait until tonight.
[05:29] Yu
    Surely not. But why?
[05:33] Takao
    The person who's caused
    multiple issues on this ward,
[05:36] Takao
    and is responsible for
    all the angel sightings.
[05:39] Takao
    This guy's the ringleader.
[05:42] Takao
    Fuyumoto Atsushi.
[05:46] Mai
    Hold on a second.
[05:48] Mai
    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
    These guys joked about Kenta
    not having any hair two weeks back.
[10:32] Takao
    All without knowing the reason why.
[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.
[10:50] Takao
    After being told that, they realized
    what a horrible thing they'd done.
[10:56] Takao
    That's why they decided
    to atone for their actions.

[11:09] Takao
    That's why these three stole
    his picture book, cut out the angel,
[11:13] Takao
    and using a flashlight,
    made an "angel" appear in Kenta's room.
[11:22] Kumakawa
    Is what Dr. Ameku's saying true?
[11:26] Atsushi
    We didn't know that little kid was so sick.
[11:32] Kumakawa
    But why'd you go as far as preventing
    yourselves from being sent home?
[11:39] Takao
    They want to make an angel appear
     before Kenta in his... his final moments.
[11:48] Takao
    They figure he'll be able
    to go peacefully if he sees one.
[11:53] Takao
    So they couldn't allow themselves to be
    discharged from the hospital until then.
[12:00] Takao
    I realized the truth
    and kept my mouth shut.
[12:05] Takao
    I thought it'd be fine to let them do what
     they wanted if it lessened Kenta's pain.
[12:12] Yu
    Dr. Takao.
[12:15] Takao
    Maybe I thought I was doing something
    for Kenta by not exposing the truth.
[12:26] Takao
    Even though I wasn't the one
    actually doing anything.
[12:32] Takao
    I'm...
[12:35] Takao
    just a coward.
