I...
just can't forgive Arima
for killing my sister.
Clear the way, please.
Dear...Dear!
Dear!
Call the police.
Suzu!
Are you all right? Are you all right?
Excuse me.
Let's get her to the hospital. I'm a doctor at Seirin University.
What happened?
My husband went to check in and didn't return.
I found it odd and came looking for him.
Then...
Suzu. Suzu...
Sounds like your mother's going to the police for an inquiry.
And
this...
I found it by your side at the airport.
It's yours, isn't it?
Thank you.
...was transported to the hospital, but died shortly after.
The victim was identified as Arima Tsuyoshi-san with Seirin University Hospital...
No way. I can't believe Professor Arima was murdered too.
What in the world is going on at this hospital?
I just can't forgive Arima
for killing my sister.
- Hey, you're late. - Hi.
What are you doing?
I was waiting for you outside, but your dad opened the restaurant and offered to let me wait inside.
I called you several times.
What's with that long face, Asumi?
Smile, smile. Red's okay, right?
- A lot of things happened today, huh? - Like what?
Oh, didn't you hear the news about the murder?
I caught a little bit on the news.
As I recall, the professor at Asumi's University was killed, right?
- That's right. - Gosh, it's frightening, isn't it?
Just thinking how his family found him like that.
I feel so sorry for them.
I know.
The one who killed Arima
isn't you, right?
I was going to kill him.
But it wasn't me.
Someone else did it.
Someone got there one step ahead of me,
killed Arima, and left the scene.
Plus, according to the police,
succinylcholine was found in Arima's body.
- What? - It's the same muscle relaxant that was used
to kill Professor Bandai.
In other words, Arima and Bandai were killed by...
the same person?
- More than likely. - Moreover,
being that this person has knowledge about drugs
and has connection with Bandai and Arima,
could it be someone related to Seirin University Hospital?
It means in the background of this case that's been going on for 15 years,
there's one more person we didn't know about.
The perpetrator who was corroborating with
Bandai and Arima to perform the illegal surgery
had a fall-out with them for some reason
and killed them.
Furthermore, those two aren't the only victims.
Yui-chan, who was robbed of her kidney and died,
my father, who tried to turn them in and was murdered,
people who unknowingly ended up assisting the crime like
Ebisu, Chihara, Date.
And Date attempted suicide by taking poison and is still unconscious,
But that person behind the scene alone,
after changing the course of many people's lives,
is living complacently.
No matter where he is,
I'm tracking him down.
Why did the perpetrator, who was originally an accomplice in the surgery,
kill Arima?
Was it because he feared being found out after
Arima was forced to flee
and killed him to seal his lips?
In the first place, what did the perpetrator have to gain
by cooperating with Arima?
- True. - Conversely,
someone who has a reason
to get involved in this transplant surgery, even with the risk,
is the perpetrator.
A reason to get involved with the surgery...
Someone who has a reason
to get involved in this transplant surgery, even with the risk,
is the perpetrator.
You should eat something.
Where did you get all this?
You don't have anything here, so I went and bought them.
What do you eat at home on your days off?
Whatever's around.
How have you been surviving like that?
After my father died,
I stayed with relatives all over the place and
finally, the orphanage in Hongo took me in.
I had no interest
in food.
The least you can do is eat things that you like.
You're doing your part for society by being a doctor.
You have the right to eat what you want and laugh when you want.
You were always smiling back then, remember?
Just live like that. Otherwise, you're wasting your life away.
Back then...
I had my father.
But my father
isn't here anymore.
Mizuno Sensei.
Professor Arima's wife is here to see you.
I heard about the video that was broadcast throughout the hospital.
Date and Chihara performed the surgery on Osanai.
Bandai gave him the catecholamine.
All I did was spurred them on a little.
I'm truly sorry.
It wasn't your fault...
But it was.
I'm the one who started this whole thing.
Many years ago...
my husband and I
had another daughter.
- Another daughter? - Her name was Minami.
Minami died in a fire when she was 5.
Minami's still inside...
Don't be a fool. You'll both die!
Let me go! Minami!
I realize now that my husband protected me.
It's all your fault.
But at that time, I couldn't forgive him.
If you hadn't held me back...
I could've saved her.
Minami...
Those were painful and merciless days that followed.
But one day,
a man claiming to be a doctor at my husband's hospital
- came calling at our house. - Doctor?
He wanted my husband's advice on his daughter who had a grave kidney disease.
We were startled when we saw that child.
She had a striking resemblance
to our late child, Minami.
Sometime after that, we learned that she didn't have a mother
and that a sick child was too much for her father to manage.
I told my husband that if that was the case, I wanted her for our child.
Is Suzu-chan your adopted daughter?
- Yes. - Where is Suzu-chan's real father now?
I don't know.
My husband told me I didn't need to know anything.
Doesn't Suzu-chan remember anything?
The only thing she remembers about her father
is that he bought her a stuffed animal
at an amusement park in Yokohama.
She said Suzu-chan's real father was a doctor, didn't she?
What about it?
I've been thinking.
Why the perpetrator was even willing to take the risk
to assist in the surgery to save Arima Suzu.
No matter how great the risk,
if he's the real father, naturally, he would want to save his daughter.
Which means...
Suzu-chan's real father
is the accomplice in the illegal transplant surgery.
You mean the person behind the scene who killed
Arima and Bandai?
More than likely.
But...
where that father is,
we have no idea.
Say, don't you think
he might come by Suzu-chan's room?
Because if he's the father, now that Professor Arima's passed away,
he's bound to be worried about Suzu-chan who's been left behind, right?
That's right. But there's no way to verify that...
There is.
In the wards, security cameras are set up in corridors that can't be seen from the nurse station
so that we can immediately see if any change occurs to the patients.
Where's Arima Suzu-chan's room?
Let's see...
Oh, that one.
We looked at two whole days' worth of video, but
looks like no one snuck into her room.
Although I guess it's only natural since no visitors were allowed to see Suzu-chan.
Wait.
This guy wearing a hat.
He was there yesterday and this morning too.
Was he?
He was there several times, but
didn't even visit her.
Now that you mention it...
it's odd, isn't it?
Man wearing a hat, huh?
Say...
is there something you're hiding from me about the case?
No.
You were at the hospital today, weren't you?
Yeah, to cover a story.
Is there a problem?
Really?
What is this?
That aside, so according to what you just said, this man wearing a hat is the guy behind the scene?
- Probably. - If that's true,
this hat guy was involved in the surgery that killed Osanai Sensei too.
And so? How are you going to lure him out?
I'm going to use his precious memory of the time he spent with his daughter.
This is the last card.
The first reason that got Alice
entangled in trouble was their small lie
that painted the white roses red.
- Suzu-chan's missing? - Did you check her home?
We can't get a hold of her mother either.
The security camera's been shut off too. You don't suppose she's been kidnapped?
Then those things left in her room must be...
A threat from the perpetrator?
Okay, we're here.
Why are we here?
You need to take a break once in a while. I already talked to your mother.
You'll never get better being locked up in a hospital room.
Shall we go?
We're meeting Asumi-chan at 5:00 at the merry go round.
This brings back memories.
In the operating room at that time were...
Ebisu, the scrub nurse,
Date, the primary surgeon,
Chihara, the assistant.
There's one more.
One more doctor who's necessary to perform a surgery.
The anesthesiologist.
The anesthesiologist who was in the operating room at that time was...
Mr. Reporter?
Mr. Reporter? Mr. Reporter!
Arima Suzu's father and
the former anesthesiologist at Seirin University.
And...
the final
man behind the scene.
Arima Suzu's father and
the former anesthesiologist at Seirin University.
And...
the final
man behind the scene.
Oi-chan?
What are you doing here?
Why are you here?
Oi-chan, are you
Arima Suzu's father?
You're not, right?
You're not a doctor, right?
Tell me I'm wrong!
For keeping it a secret from you,
I'm sorry.
My old~ amigo's daughter.
You're lying... The guy behind the scene
who killed my father to
seal his lips isn't...
Doctors
have a unique job.
To the patients,
what the doctor says is absolute.
It's exactly like the words on that card.
A doctor's words can even make white roses
turn red.
What's more,
once we get the patient in the operating room,
the patient's life is at our command.
We abused the special privilege given to doctors and
committed an unforgivable crime.
You were deceiving me all this time.
Pretending to be a good person,
lavishing me with smiles.
Deceiving me
all this time.
People like that are called scum of the earth!
My father...
give me back my father!
Oh, hi.
I heard from the Master that he was closing the restaurant,
so I came to get my stuff.
Oh, by the way,
he said he had cooked something for you.
"To Asumi"
How long have you known?
At the airport, I happened to see
the back of someone who resembled you.
I was hoping it wasn't you and went to the restaurant, but sure enough...
Just thinking how his family found him like that.
- I feel so sorry for them - I know.
The fact that his wife and daughter were the first to discover Arima
wasn't reported in the news.
The only people who knew that were the ones who witnessed the scene
and the perpetrator.
And one more thing.
Succinylcholine, which was used in the murder,
is a drug that was used a lot around 2000, but
it's not used too often now.
That's when it hit me.
From the hospital's personnel directory,
I looked for every employee who
left the hospital around 15 years ago.
And I finally found it.
Your name as an anesthesiologist.
Onii-chan!
You're beyond disgusting.
It's me.
Where are you?
Sorry about what happened earlier.
But I wanted to dispose of Mizuno with my own hands.
I decided to have Mizuno die at the church where you were raised.
It's a fitting place for him to atone for his sin.
Church?
Come on over if you want to see his end with your own eyes.
"Asumi"
"I'm sorry."
"I'll tell you everything."
"Everything about my past 15 years."
Look, it's a little pony.
"I was just your ordinary anesthesiologist."
"My only daughter was suffering from a grave kidney disease,
and transplant was the only way for her to survive."
"I wanted to save her somehow, and
asked for advice from Arima who was a transplant surgery expert."
I have a request.
Can you please save this child?
"Arima demanded that I let him adopt Suzu
in exchange for curing her disease."
If you can do that, I promise I'll cure her.
"But I never imagined that Arima
would resort to such a horrifying method to obtain the kidney
for the transplant."
"On top of that, Arima
even had me assist in the surgery to kill Osanai who found out the truth..."
"Even though Osanai was my only best buddy."
"I was watching you
the whole time."
"Unable to endure the feeling of guilt,
I sent you the patient surgery record."
"That you
and your dad did no wrong."
"That we were the ones who were in the wrong."
"That's what I wanted to convey to you."
What are you reading?
"I realized that you were planning revenge
when you came and asked me to adopt you."
"I panicked when I found out how serious you were, and
sent the patient surgery record to Nishikado-san."
"Because I wanted him to support you."
1 month later, I got a call from Arima.
A transplant again?
Don't tell me you're planning to do that again?
"An innocent life was going to be sacrificed again."
"I couldn't bear going through that again."
"That's when I pretended to be sick and closed the restaurant."
"To put a stop to the horrific plan."
"The succinylcholine used for the murder
was injected into the cigarette."
"I had stolen it right before I left the hospital
just in case I needed it some day."
Excuse me. Can we talk for a minute?
"If I killed Arima, Suzu's life will be in danger."
"That, I knew."
"But when I thought that
in order to save her, another innocent life will be lost,
I had to do whatever I could to stop him."
"Asumi."
"I'm sorry."
"I know nothing I do now
can make amends to you."
"But
so that
I can at least make you smile,
I practiced smiling
in front of the mirror every day
for 15 years."
"So that I could smile well in front of Asumi,
so that Asumi could regain her smiling face."
"Before I knew it,
that had become
my sole purpose in life."
"In the end, I was unable to
see you smile from the bottom of your heart."
"But some day,
I want you to be able to smile naturally."
"Because
a smiling face suits you the best."
I was getting tired of waiting for you.
Let me ask you for the record.
You didn't come to stop me, did you?
This is the guy who drove your father and my sister to their death.
There's no way you'd forgive him, right?
There's no way...
I'd forgive him.
You
let my father die
for your own selfish reason.
You selfishly sent me the patient surgery record and
selfishly appeared in front of me.
You messed up the life of many people.
I can never
forgive you.
I'm sorry.
For deceiving you.
For what happened to Osanai,
and for what happened to Yui-chan.
I'm truly,
really sorry.
Don't give me that bullshit.
If we hadn't tracked you down,
what were you going to do?
You were going to keep quiet and carry on as if nothing happened, weren't you?
What about Yui!
How did she look in the end?
How did she look when she died?
She died right in front of your eyes.
You were watching her, weren't you? Tell me!
The fault
is all mine.
Asumi.
I know
I'm the one who
robbed the smile from your face,
and all this time...
every time our eyes met,
I was reminded of what I did...
I don't know how many times I thought about apologizing,
but I just couldn't do it.
I put a lid on my memory and
pretended to forget about my past.
All this time,
I kept on running away.
I don't have the right to be alive.
Let me make amends by dying.
Of course, that's what we intend to do.
I have a favor to ask.
Please untie my hands.
What are you talking about?
If my hands aren't tied,
it'll just be a suicide.
I don't want Asumi to be a murderer.
I want her at least
to live with her head held up high.
No matter what happens, I won't stop loving you.
The rainbow was amazing, huh?
I'll be waiting for you tonight with lots of good food.
Please.
I beg you.
Please, I beg you.
Miku!
Are you satisfied now?
I just love my daughter.
I'm glad I was able to keep my promise.
Because I promised
I'd protect you.
Please.
I beg you!
Dad.
I'm...
going to
call it quits now, okay?
I won't let you die.
I
don't want to hurt anyone anymore.
I
don't want to lose anyone anymore!
Bye now.
Okay.
I knew you'd stop me.
Revenge will breed another revenge.
No matter what happens, it only bears unhappiness.
Besides, Yui wouldn't have wished to
rob him of his life either.
This is probably your last time.
Are you sure you want to see him off with that face?
Oi-chan.
Your last lamb pie
still wasn't any good.
Make me a delicious one next time.
I'll be waiting.
See you.
Kenta-kun's doing well these days.
His complexion's a lot better too.
You'd better be grateful. You owe it to us doctors, you know.
Thanks. Bushy-haired four-eyes.
Bushy-haired four-eyes...
Don't just stand there daydreaming. Old maid.
What did you say, Kenta!
Oh, that's right. I heard Date Sensei regained consciousness.
Thank you for everything.
You're transferring to a facility specializing in dialysis treatment, right?
- Yes. - The important thing is confidence without rational basis.
As long as you have that, I'm sure you'll be fine.
This is all I have.
So, what are you going to do now?
I'm thinking about working for a mobile medical clinic.
I see.
So you're going to carry on Bandai Yuma's dream?
Not exactly, but
a doctor who can be of help to each individual patient,
a doctor
who can make my father proud,
that's what I thought I'd strive to be.
It's really over, isn't it?
Yes.
Well then, for now,
cheers.
Tomorrow
will be
a better day.
Right?
Yeah.
- By the way, are you going to Oxford? - Yeah.
Believe me, nothing good will happen. The food sucks and it rains all the time.
You said it was a good idea before.
At that time, that was about the only thing I could say.
What's that supposed to mean?
Anyway, don't forget to bring me back a souvenir.
