I am going to start now.
You are feeling better today, right?
Kurume-san, how are you?
~Episode 7~
Masaru-kun, you are quiet today.
Doctor, what if there is a painkiller with no side effects?
A new medicine that keeps patients conscious,
but relieves their pain is under development at Shiragami Medical Center.
Really?
I am planning to take part in the studies
for the medicine and the painless treatments.
Painless...
If there is such a medicine,
you can enjoy talking to Masaru-kun.
Pain is...
myself.
I am...
...pain.

Please return to your assignments.
I am sorry.
Please go back.
I am sorry for causing a scene.
Is there anything that comes to mind?
- Please excuse me.- We are interviewing her now.
I am Shiragami's secretary. I am going to sit in.
Ok, we are going to continue... Takashima-san.
Well...
That is his...
I think.
"His"?
You mean, your stalker, Sada?
[ Minato Central Police Station ]Do the fingerprints match?
[ Matched ]- Yes.- And this one.
Does this mean the case is closed since the suspect is dead?
You can't assume he was murdered just because one arm was found.
How can you think that he is alive? This part was totally cut off.
When that kind of thing is found, it is usually a mutilation murder case.
The prime suspect of the Ishikawa family murder case was
killed while he was on the loose.
- The perpetrator must have something to do with the murder case.- Hayase-san.
Hey you! You are not on the Investigation team anymore.
I know that.
I am heading out to investigate the homicide of Sada. Anything wrong?
No.
Let's go, Ohta.
Hey, you need to find the body first. You know that, right?
Head is fine. Leg is fine.
Find anything... you guys are not listening!
What is going on, Satomi-chan!
Satomi-chan, stop!
The pain is myself... I am...
...pain.
I am back. Eisuke-kun!
- Yea.- Hey!
You are back-- Oh, my goodness.
It was so heavy. Very heavy!
Things like rice, miso and detergents were cheap.
I bought too much!
If you had called me, I would have gone to help you.
What is this?
Ah, it is the new medicine that I mentioned to Dr. Kurume.
Dr. Shiragami is great, as expected.
With this medicine, you will be able to save
many more patients from now on.
It's already that time. You need to get ready to go to the hospital.
I need to leave now.
I will prepare it in 5 minutes.
- Hey, those don't go in there.- Ouch!
Move away. You just need to be quiet and wait for 5 minutes.
Sorry (for the trouble).
Ramen should be fine.
Hello?
That guy's arm was found?
At a critical time like this?
The clinical trial for the new medicine is in its final stage!
Right. We are going to control the situation as soon as possible.
However, Director.
Why don't we let go of staff that's not right for this hospital?
What do you mean by that?
All of this happened because of Takashima Namiko.
I want you to let her go so that you can focus on the painless treatment study.
Yokoi.
Yes.
Who called you during our business meal with Okabe sensei?('Sensei' is used for politicians.)
Did you think I won't know anything?
It is true that...
I had been in contact with Sada.
It was I who told him where Takashima Namiko was when I was asked.
But it is all because she and Minami Satomi have given this hospital problems and need to be let go --
That's why you let him assault her?
I just wanted... This is all for you, Director.
I didn't think it was going to be like this.
What you did is the same as committing a crime.
Tell me everything that you have done so far.
Don't leave out anything.
Yes.
- Sorry, are you okay?- Yes, I am.
Dr. Tameyori, it is fine now.
Sorry about this.
Sorry.
It is fine now.
This hospital... and also Dr. Takashima.
- [ Dont' worry, everybody is misunderstanding.]- [ Aren't you coming to see me?] [ Can I come see you? ]
Takashima-san. I knew you would be here.
Dr. Tameyori.
I heard, on the phone, what happened. Are you alright?
Yes, I am.
I am more worried about Satomi-chan.
She calmed down after being medicated.
It must be that you can barely get up now.
You should go back to your room and lie down.
- But...- Dr. Tameyori is right.
Since you are a clinical psychotherapist, you should objectively evaluate your own condition.
You need to rest and not worry about your job for a while.
And, that is also for her.
I am going to operate on her throat next week.
I was able to adjust my schedule finally.
Please take care of Satomi-chan.
I will go now.
I guess detectives will frequent here again, but we shouldn't upset patients.
Of course.
Let's keep working on the painless treatment study without being bothered by this.
Okay.
I need to go now. I have a surgery scheduled.
Detective...
Why are you here?
Well, I am here to see Dr. Tameyori.
This hospital is fine now.
Hey, what is going on?
Dr. Tameyori.
Ibara-kun.
♫ Just like watering flowers in the desert, ♫
♫ you will be stronger even though you are frail ♫
♫Stars are telling me to ♫Painless: The Eyes for Signs
Painless: The Eyes for Signs ♫ keep walking facing forward ♫
♫ Like putting firewood into the fire on a stormy night, ♫
♫ I wish I could light up the kind heart ♫
♫ But I just have to keep walking now ♫
♫ in this darkness ♫
I thought I hurt you when I crashed into you earlier, but I guess not.
You have tenosynovitis.(inflamation of a finger joint due to overwork)
Since you don't feel pain, you kept working until it became like this.
You need to be careful not to get hurt.
Dr. Shiragami says that, too.
You are very important to Dr. Shiragami.
Okay, this is good. You need to be careful, okay?
It was right after we decided to consider him as a prime suspect.
Ah. I think Sada is already...
At this rate, the family murder case in Naka-ku will be
closed since the prime suspect is deceased, and with nobody being prosecuted.
What is this?
I mentioned this to you before. The result from the DNA test.
Minami Satomi's hair matched what was left behind at the Ichikawas in Naka-ku.
There is no doubt that Minami Satomi was at the crime scene.
I really want to talk to her.
Dr. Shiragami wouldn't let you do that.
That is why I am asking you now.
I haven't reported this to the investigation headquarter yet.
This is a fact only you and I know.
I have told you many times
that she is a junior high school student with a mental disorder. Also, she will be having surgery soon.
Eh? It has been scheduled?
Yes. Dr. Shiragami is going to operate.
Then she will be able to talk?
Even if her voice is restored, I don't know if she will --
[ Food is ready. Aren't you going to eat? ]
Any trouble?
Oh, no. Kazu-san said that it was dinner time.
I am jealous.
- You have a person who makes such delicious meals. - Wanna come?
- No, thank you.- Why not?
Why ask why?
She doesn't even remember my name. I don't want to eat food cooked by such --
By the way, your wife is...
Died of illness. A year ago.
Illness?
You want to say why I didn't see (the symptoms), right?
When I saw it, it was too late.
There are things that even a simple person like me can't easily say.
What happened to your hand?
Dr. Tameyori treated me.
I am asking why you got tenosynovitis.
From the storage room, a basic laparotomy surgical kit
and many scalpel blades have been found missing.
You used them, didn't you?
Yes.
What did you do?
A surgery.
A surgery?
I got rid of a bad thing.
Come here, right now.
Did you take medicine?
I wanted to be stronger.
How many pills did you take? Did you take everything that I gave you?
Yes.
Where did you operate?
Where?
You don't remember?
You operated, right?
By changing scalpel blades many times.
It is a side effect from the medicine.
- I am coming in.- Dr. Shiragami, did I do anything wrong?
Take him. We will obtain data now.
Okay. I got it.
Let's go.
- Dr. Shiragami.- Go!
[ Prohibited Area ]
[ Resignation Letter ]
I am sorry for causing all the trouble.
Do you think you have a right to choose?
Dealing with the police and media,
you have caused us to have a lot of work to take care of.
I will get on it right away.
It is time for the surgery on Minami Satomi. Keep an eye on Ibara.
Okay.
Don't do anything behind my back again.
It will be fine. Don't worry.
Satomi-chan.
You shouldn't be here. You should be resting in your room.
I had no idea her throat had been damaged by parents.
If she gets her voice back,
it might change how she feels.
I have a hope that
she will let me hear her voice someday.
If that happens,
I wonder if she would tell us about the case.
Doctor?
There is a conclusive evidence that she was there at the crime scene.
Are you thinking about turning her over to the police?
She is only 14 years old. She is sick.
I know that, but...
People, whose heart is confined, needs to eventually open a door and face it later.
No matter how painful it is, they have to do so. Otherwise, they can't move forward.
I am going back to my room.
I will get better for the sake of Satomi-chan as well.
Okay.
I am back.
What?
Kazu-san?
Kazu-san!
Ah, Eisuke-kun. You are home.
- I am back, too.- Where did you go?
To Kurume-san.
Something happened? Kazu-san!
No. I just stopped by, but
I talked to his daughter-in-law, Mariko-san, too long.
I bought fried horse mackerel from Ogi-ya.
Bone metastasis is more painful than you can imagine, right?
How can he refuse to take painkillers?
However, he has a family who supports him.
When we had the situation with Noriko,
you did everything you could, Eisuke-kun.
You always use sauce, but using soy sauce this time?
Dr. Shiragami, I...
What's the matter?
That... take a look at that!
Hey!
[ Shiragami Medical Center Cleaning Division]
Good morning.
Hayase, come see me now.
They want to add more people to the team.
No more time to secretly work behind my back.
The investigation meeting has started.
Go now.
Okay.
Don't fall.
It's DNA that matches the arm previously found.
Therefore, they have determined that it is Sada Youzou's body.
We are going to investigate this as a murder case now.
At the crime scene, there were surgical scalpels,
coopers and other surgical instruments. We think they were used as offensive weapons there.
A body was dismembered and bagged.
From the blood test, they detected muscle relaxants, but,
no anesthetic.
Sub Chief! What do you mean by that?
Muscle relaxant is used to stop muscles from moving,
when patients go under general anesthesia.
Does that mean he was robbed of resisting power while being conscious and then dismembered?
In regards to the Ishikawa family murder case,
it may be closed as a result of the suspect being deceased. However,
for now, focus on finding the perpetrator who killed Sada.
Dismissed!
Okay.
Hayase-san.
Wait up.
DNA test? What is this?
From the small hat found at the Ishikawa residence,
some blonde hair was detected, and we know who the owner of the hat is.
Hayase, you.
Why in the world are you working on your own!
Stop it!
Hello? This is Tameyori Clinic.
Ah, wait a second.
Eisuke-kun!
Hayase-san from Minato Central Police Station.
Thanks.
Hello?
Once you've smoothly recovered, you will have your voice back.
Satomi-chan. I am happy for you.
Ibara-kun.
Dr. Shiragami. Did anything happen to Ibara-kun?
We are collecting data for painless treatment.
Why is he in that kind of place?
To get accurate data.
By the way, I heard that they found that guy's body.
Yes, they informed me, too.
They said it was dismembered.
What a terrible way to die.
It seems that the police think someone here is the perpetrator. However, I don't think so.
I haven't seen makers of criminal intent in this hospital.
I feel reassured to hear you say that, but
under the circumstances, we need to give full cooperation to the police.
Also, I have no choice but to allow them to interview Minami Satomi-san.
Eh?
Isn't it... too soon for that?
She is healing with no problem.
She will get her voice back soon.
I would like to leave the follow-up to you, Dr. Tameyori.
Okay, but...
Dr. Tameyori. We need to ensure that all the patients feel safe.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Yes.
I will be right there.
Emergency on a patient, right? Please go.
Don't worry about consultations.
Thank you.
Dr. Kurume!
Doctor. Can you hear? This is Tameyori.
Thank...you...
At 2:30 this afternoon.
he passed away.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for taking care of him.
Masaru.
Grandpa.
Dad.
[ Death Certificate- Kuruma Minoru ]
I am sorry for coming this late.
What happened?
Dr. Kurume is...
I will come back tomorrow.
It's okay. What is it?
Dr. Shiragami accepted our request for the investigation.
I know.
I want you to sit in on the interview...to for check markers of criminal intent.
You are the only one who can see.
I told you that it won't show on Minami Satomi.
I want to make sure.
Even if I see it, there would be nothing I could do.
It'll be enough if we can verify it.
It is not simple like that!
I've seen it once before
where makers appeared on a person who wouldn't possibly commit a murder.
Who was it...?
It was my wife.
Your deceased wife?
She had ovarian cancer that had spread to the bones.
It was too late when I finally could see it.
I decided not to hide and told her everything.
It took time, but she accepted it, saying that
there was nothing she could do about it since I saw it.
We discussed it over and over and decided that
she would not have any surgeries or treatments.
Eh? You didn't do anything?
She said she didn't want to suffer from treatments if there was no chance of recovering.
But she could have recovered--
No, she couldn't have.
I could see it.
From that point, we spent everyday the way she wanted.
Watching movies and operas, enjoying some great food.
She ate her favorite cream puffs every day. And, we even went on a trip with Kazu-san, too.
We spent days like that for 2 years.
Toward the end,
I focused on relieving her from as much pain as possible.
I was hoping she would die peacefully.
However,
the night before she passed away,
it was on her face.
Markers of criminal intent.
- Why?- I don't know.
Maybe the pain before her passing was too much.
If we could free people from pain completely...
If that is possible...
That is why I joined Dr. Shiragami's study on painless treatment.
What are you saying?
Eisuke-kun.
You must have seen a dream.
Kazu-san.
Noriko was so kind-hearted and considerate to other people...
How could she have possibly have such markers of criminal intent?
Did you forget?
Even when she found out about her sickness,
she worried more about me or you, Eisuke-kun.
She cheered us up.
A person like that,
how could she have had such a thing on her?
I know that. So--
So?
You are going to study on it? What are you thinking?
Before you are a doctor,
you are her husband, aren't you?
How could you not understand Noriko?
I think she actually wanted to cry.
She must have held it in.
No, Noriko--
I can understand her better.
Because she is my little sister.
I will tell you this in her place.
Why...
Why couldn't you have found it sooner?
Why?
Why didn't you let her live longer?
What was I supposed to do?!
Did you want me to push for treatment that she didn't want to have?
That is not what I am talking about.
I...
Even for a year, 2 years,
an hour or a minute, I wanted her to live longer.
Even if she couldn't recognize me anymore.
However,
that is not what she wanted.
Up to the end,
she wanted to be a little sister and a wife.
Up to her very last breath, she wanted to breathe the air in this house.
And, she wanted to end it with her own will.
I know all that!

Okay, let's eat.
Oh, shoot.
Let's eat.
Thank you for cooking.
Hayase-san!
This man is the one on the CCTV from the Shiragami Medical Center.
This is...Ibara.
Ibara.
Listen, Ibara.
What are you doing? Stop it now!
Stop!
Satomi-chan. It's Tameyori.
How are you feeling?
There is no sign of inflammation.
Thanks to the plate inserted in the surgery,
your throat is almost back to normal.
Do you want to try to...speak?
You can speak anytime if you are willing.
It is not something that someone else should tell you to do.
Your voice is yours.
Unless you speak on your own will, it won't be your voice.
Not being able to say they are in pain,
people might somehow become oblivious of their pain.
[ Satomi-chan. I got a new cellphone. Takashima Minako ]
[ New Incoming Mail - Minami Satomi ]
The pain is myself.
I am...pain itself.
Dr. Shiragami.
Ibara-kun.
- What are you doing?- Ibara!
Ibara-kun.
Let's take him.
Okay.
That medicine is what you developed...
Yes, it is. It is called 'droll.'
I told him to take it everyday.
Why did he take this much?
Probably because he stopped taking it for the data collecting,
he came down with a withdrawal symptom.
The medicine is supposed to save patients, right?
Any medicine can be poison if there is an overdose. That is a given.
However, this condition of his...
I've given you the file.
Droll can take away patients' pain while they are conscious.
Of course, that is only if they take it as prescribed.
Relieving pain completely...
Do you think it is the right thing to do?
What is going on, Dr. Tameyori?
Of course, it is. It will save patients from suffering.
There are patients who refuse to take medicine even to the very end.
Dr. Kurume accepted his pain and passed away.
Accept?
He wanted to fully acknowledge what was happening to him,
including the fact he was born into this world, and even the pain from the illness.
This might sound offensive, but
people close to death are more likely to become philosophical.
I am not surprised that some people refuse to take medicine. Many people don't like medicine.
If...a member of your family refuses it,
would you accept that? Or, would you force them to take medicine to relieve the pain?
Please tell me. Your thoughts.
I had a brother . . .
It is meaningless to talk about a family member who has passed away.
I also... lost my wife.
So these are...
markers of criminal intent.
Why are they on his face?
Dr. Tameyori. It is because...
he is the perpetrator who killed Sada.
What did you say?!
Please excuse us.
Detectives, I am sorry for causing troubles.
That is Ibara Tadateru, right? What is going on?
He overdosed himself, and this is how he is now.
I was going to hand him over to you right away, but can you wait until tomorrow?
I will make sure to have him recover back to normal.
Okay. Until then, I will have our staff monitor him.
Of course. Please take him to the treatment room right away. Wash out his stomach.
Okay.
- We will take him.- How about the data collected from his blood--
- Forget about it!- Okay.
Are you okay?
- Please take him.- Okay.
When did you find out that he was the perpetrator?
A moment ago.
Doctor, I don't know if I want to join
the study of painless treatment anymore.
Can you give me time to think?
Think about what?
About pain.
Ibara Tadateru. We are arresting you for murder.
Please take care of him.
How is Minami Satomi?
She hasn't spoken yet.
We will continue to watch her.
This drama is fictional.The character's personality, as well as actions, were set in a production setting and have nothing to do with the real disease and disability.
~Preview~I can't believe that you committed a murder.
That is the medicine to make you stronger.
If he stays like this, he will need to undergo psychiatric tests.
It is in the paper. A murderer who killed the stalker of Takashima-san.
Who was there?
That is what we need to know!
Even though you both have the same skill,
you and Dr. Shiragami are different types.
We will cooperate with the investigation.
To Dr. Shiragami, I am an important person...
He has nothing to do with us.
