Because he is the perpetrator who killed Sada.
What did you say?!
I can't say that I want to join the study of painless treatment right this moment.
Can I have time to think again
about pain?
[ 15 years ago ]
Ibara Tadateru has congenital pain insensitivity.
Since birth, he hasn't felt pain.
He didn't notice even when he broke his bone or burned himself.
Without him knowing, the wound got worse.
His parents passed away when he was young,
and he was bounced around from one relative to the next.
There was nobody there to teach him
how dangerous it is not to know what pain is.
Because of his unusual upbringing,
he closed his mind and
isolated himself from the others.
Hey, come on!
- What happened? - Are you alright?
- Are you okay? - Are you alright?
There wasn't a place for Ibara.
However, to protect himself, his nature had gradually become cautious.
So, he grew up without encountering a fatal accident.
I met Ibara when he had grown-up.
[ 5 years ago ]Appendicitis turned into peritonitis.
We need to operate right away.
An operation?
You... don't feel pain?
My goal is
a world without pain.
Can you help me?
What?
I think that I can use your condition of insensitivity to pain for a positive medical study.
To achieve my ideal medicine, I need you.

~Episode 8~
Hey, it is in the paper.
The criminal, who killed the stalker of Takashima-san.
He used to work as a janitor at the hospital. Have you met him?
Yes, kind of.
How scary it is, with him close by all this time!
Okay, let's have lunch.
I will cook now, so wait a little.
Kazu-san. No need to rush today.
You all may already know this,
but a man who used to work at Shiragami Medical Center as a janitor
has been arrested as a murder suspect.
I am truly sorry for any worries that we might have caused you.
No damage to our business?
If your hospital's business performance declines,
we will go down as well.
Don't worry about it.
This man is no longer associated with our hospital.
Are you not going to say a word?
It doesn't help you to stay quiet now.
What was the motive for killing Sada?
What was it?
I don't remember.
Sada was the main suspect for another murder case.
What kind of relationship did you have with Sada?
You... if you are trying to get a 'not-guilty' verdict by acting insane,
I will make sure that doesn't happen.
[ Arrested - former janitor at a hospital in Yokohama City ]
Okay.
- Thank you for coming to see me today.- Not at all.
You look very fine.
Yeah, I guess you can say that.
I was so worried!
Satomi-chan.
I am back starting today. Looking forward to working with you.
If it's still hard to use your voice,
text me anytime.
But I will try to talk to you directly.
I want to talk to you looking into your eyes.
I have something to suggest to you, Satomi-chan.
Hello.
Ah, you are... well... your name is...
- Hayase!- Hayase-san. I knew it.
Good evening.
What is going on?
What? Are you studying? That is new.
Isn't that right? Very unusual.
He took a day off from the hospital and gathered lots of material.
I see.
Dinner is almost ready. Do you want to eat with us?
Thank you very much, but I have to leave right away.
Why don't you eat with us?
Since you are always busy, you need to eat healthy. Okay?
Is there anything that you don't like to eat?
Vegetables.
Ah... vegetables, huh?
What brought you here anyway?
In regards to Sada's hand found in Takashima-san's locker.
I think Ibara did it to inform her that
Sada, her stalker, was dead.
He probably liked Takashima-san.
Have you noticed anything?
No. Has Ibara-kun said anything yet?
It doesn't matter what we ask. All he says is he doesn't remember.
If he stays like this, he will need to take a psychiatric exam.
Doctor, you didn't see markers of criminal intent on him?
I did.
Then, it means that he had a murderous intent.
Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?
I saw it for the first time on him just before he was arrested.
I don't know why I didn't see it until then.
Anyway,
since you saw markers of criminal intent on him, it means that he clearly had a murderous intent.
I need to make him talk, no matter what.
May I see him?
What?
There is something I would like to ask him.
♫ Just like watering flowers in the desert, ♫
♫ you will be stronger even though you are frail ♫
Painless: The Eyes for Signs ♫Stars are telling me to ♫
♫ keep walking facing forward ♫
♫ Like putting firewood onto a 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 ♫
Dr. Tameyori.
It seems you haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
Are you alright?
Yes.
I heard that you haven't said anything in the interrogations.
Did you kill Sada for Takashima-san?
Why did you do that?
You... confronted Sada, who insulted the hospital.
Such a brave person like you committing a murder...
I can't believe it.
An operation...
I only performed an operation.
Are you admitting that you killed Sada?
- I don't remember.- YOU!
You don't remember killing him?
What about putting Sada's hand in Takashima-san's locker?
I don't remember.
I want to ask you one more thing.
The medicine you were taking.
I heard that you have been taking it regularly.
At that time, why did you take such a large dose?
That medicine... makes me stronger.
That is why.
Do you remember anything after taking it?
No, I don't.
How is Dr. Shiragami?
I haven't seen him in the past few days.
Is he okay without me?
I am an important person to Dr. Shiragami.
You also said that, Dr. Tameyori.
An important person.
An important place.
It must be a lie that he doesn't remember.
I will make him confess right away.
What's the matter?
What if it's true that he doesn't remember?
You said you saw markers of criminal intent on him.
He killed Sada with a murderous intent.
But he is just pretending to be insane.
Because of Ibara,
we lost Sada, the suspect for the family murder case in Naka-ku.
Minami Satomi is the only remaining clue.
I can't wait till she can speak again.
I am going to question her.
Don't forget to do physical training.
If you can protect yourself by building muscles,
you will be invincible.
It's finished.
You are not going to Dr. Shiragami's again?
Right, I told him I'm off today.
I don't know what's going on, but I think you should talk it out.
Okay, I am going to fix lunch now.
I have to fix something nice today.
- Why?- Why ask, why?
Ah... I didn't tell you?
We are going to have guests.
Oh, have they already arrived?
Yes.
- Hello.- Welcome.
Thanks for having me.
Hello.
I'm sorry. Please snack on these. I'm going to prepare lunch right away.
Sorry, Inoue-san, for causing you trouble.
I was surprised.
You are okay to go outside, right?
She got permission to go out.
I asked Inoue-san if we could come, and she said she would be happy to have us.
I am sorry to come suddenly.
Well, I don't mind.
Satomi-chan, right?
Can you help me a bit?
I'm making gyoza dumplings.
You do this and put the filling on it.
Then put water on it,
and wrap it like this.
As soon as you get the hang of it, it will be easy.
For now, wash your hands.
Do you want to wear an apron, too?
That's right.
But why did you come here?
I wanted Satomi-chan to know
what a warm family is like.
Is it warm...?
She thinks that I suffered like that because she told me to "Die".
It seems that she blamed herself.
In the mail that I received later on,
she wrote, "Is it because of me?"
It is a tendency I haven't seen before.
Satomi-chan has been getting better.
Right.
Umm, about Ibara-kun...
I heard about it.
I can't believe it even now.
But Ibara-san did something unforgivable.
That's all.
I am okay.
Just like you said,
I have to face it, no matter how painful it is.
He admitted to committing the crime, but what he said made no sense.
However, that will help us to enter an insanity plea.
I will leave the defense policy to you, sensei.(Lawyers are addressed 'sensei.')
Aside from that, is there anything unusual about Ibara?
There is nothing unusual in particular, except for the fact that he ignored my instructions.
After that visitation, he might have felt too relaxed, so it's troublesome.
Visitation?
A doctor named Tameyori visited him.
Okay, then. So long.
Director, I had a call from Minato Central Police Station a while ago.
They want to question Minami Satomi tomorrow.
It's been so long since I had delicious food like this.
It's too nice to be flattered like that.
However, having someone taste my food once in a while, aside from Eisuke-kun
makes me feel happy about cooking. He always gobbles it.
He can't even give a compliment.
- This tastes good.- Satomi-chan wrapped it.
Really? It is really good.
Satomi-chan, was this your first time cooking?
You might make something delicious, or you might make mistakes.
That is what is interesting about cooking.
Looking at people being happy,
I can think, "I will make more delicious food."
Thank you for the meal.
- Thank you for the meal.- You are welcome.
It's okay. Thank you for eating a lot.
Don't worry. You don't have to do that.
[ New message from Kimura, in Human Resources. ]
[Minato Central Police Station wants to question Minami Satomi tomorrow. Her attending physician wants you to make a decision.]
Satomi-chan,
tomorrow, detectives are going to visit the hospital.
They want to ask you questions.
Why don't you meet and talk with them?
I think it will help you.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Seers @ Viki
I saw Dr. Tameyori a while ago.
But I heard he was off today.
Dr. Tameyori?
He was heading towards Satomi-chan's room with Dr. Takashima.
Regarding the case of the Ishikawa family murders, in Naka-ku,
you sent Takashima-san a mail saying that you killed them.
I want you to tell me about it.
You had a grudge against Ishikawa sensei, who was murdered.
It's because he reproached you for your voice, right?
On the night of the incident, did you go to Ishikawa sensei's house alone?
Or were you with someone?
How did you enter the house?
How did you kill those four people?
[ Hammer ]
Why did you put plastic bags over their heads?
You don't have a reason,
or you don't remember?
Then tell me the order in which you killed those four people.
You don't remember?
You killed them in the living room.
After that, you lined up the bodies like in the picture.
Is that correct?
Really?
The children were not murdered in the living room.
Their bodies were carried from the bedroom.
Tweezer.Retractor.
Director?
Retractor.
Sorry. I meant to say cooper.
Is it really the right thing to do; relieving all pain?
If your family refuses...?
I had a younger brother.
Receiver.
You said you killed them, but
you don't have any recollection of doing so.
Did you really kill them?
There must have been a man along with you.
Did you see this guy at the crime scene?
Then who was there?
What happened that night?
Detective, please stop now.
Please let me continue a bit more. She might be able to remember.
She can't handle it any more. It will just be counterproductive if you continue.
Children, who were a lot younger than you, were murdered.
I want you to remember for their sake as well.
If it was not you, then who killed them?
I won't allow you to ask any more questions.
If you want to know the truth,
please give her some time.
The time will come when she will be able to talk about it.
At least, it was not Sada who was at the scene.
Right.
Then why did he copy the incident when he assaulted Takashima-san?
I guess, while he was stalking her,
he came to know of Minami Satomi confessing to killing the family.
He must have copied it just to annoy Takashima-san.
The fact that the footprints matched makes it highly possible it was a coincidence.
Then, who did it?
So that's what I want to know!
Are you okay?
I'm sorry. I am okay.
I'm going back to the station.
You did well today.
You made efforts to remember.
That in itself is a very important thing.
Let's try harder, you and I.
No matter what you have done,
I will keep staying by your side.
Unless you speak on your own will, it won't be your voice.
... You...
Thank you.
Me, too.
Thank you, Satomi-chan.
I heard you sat in Minami Satomi-san's questioning.
Thank you very much.
Your heart rate is rapid, which is unusual.
Your pulse is irregular, and you have heart palpitations. Are you okay?
I am fine.
I am a bit tired because of the matters regarding Ibara.
I went to visit Ibara-kun.
He doesn't remember having killed Sada.
Detective Hayase says he is lying; pretending to be insane.
And?
I felt that he was telling the truth.
So I wanted to ask you some questions
about the medicine.
The reason why he killed Sada,
is it because of the medicine?
At that time, you also saw, Dr. Shiragami,
markers of criminal intent on his face.
He doesn't remember what happened then.
If he had taken a large dose of medicine before killing Sada --
Dr. Tameyori.
That medicine surely has some issues to be resolved.
But, as I said before,
it is the medicine of hope to relieve all kinds of pain.
Isn't it that you had noticed his crime a long time ago?
Nonsense.
But you placed priority on extracting data, having learned that he took the medicine.
It's what Ibara wanted to do.
He wanted to contribute his body to the painless treatment study.
You are obsessed with the painless treatment!
You just used Ibara-kun for convenience.
And what's wrong with that?!
Painless treatment must be the no.1 priority,
since you are a doctor, you should understand that.
There might be pains
that need to be accepted.
Those beloved people of mine, they passed away while they were in pain.
I hated the pain too.
But it was a part of their lives.
I thought I shouldn't run away from that.
I will go on a path different from yours.
The study of markers of criminal intent,
you don't have to work on it anymore?
You came here for that purpose.
I need you.
You are needed in the current medical society and in this hospital.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Seers @ Viki
Reiji...
I am okay.
Please be careful not to talk any more than you've already done.
I really don't remember.
If that's the case, you are really sick.
You will surely get a 'not guilty' verdict.
Excuse me.
Is Dr. Shiragami okay?
I am needed for his study.
Will he be okay without me?
Do you know how much trouble you are causing Director Shiragami?
Don't disappoint Director anymore.

What are you going to do about the afternoon office hours?
- Are you going to make it available again?- Hmm.
- I think you can take it easy for a while.- Hmm.
- Don't keep saying "Hmm." You should cheer up.- Hmm.
Even though you have the same ability,
Dr. Shiragami and Eisuke-kun are two different types.
Dr. Shiragami is an aloof and a genius doctor.
Eisuke-kun is...
What?
Hmm, you are like a slow-witted hero.
What's that?
I don't know, but
your power makes you understand
not only the illness, but the patient's feeling, correct?
Noriko told me so.
Just like before, you should see a lot of patients
who need your help.
Satomi-chan hasn't eaten her meals and seems to be down.
Let me handle this for you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Satomi-chan,
you don't have any appetite?
I...
What have I done?
Ishikawa sensei...
I really
hated him.
I wished him dead.

Well, Ibara keeps saying those to himself.
An important person. An important place.
They sound like titles for songs or novels.
Well, I don't have anything important at all.
Don't say such a sad thing.
I am single, you know.
Me too.

- Today's interrogation is --- It doesn't matter! Summon him now!
Time for interrogation.
Please go ahead.
Yes.
Go.
Hey, I'm telling you to walk.
I need you.
Hey, Ibara.
Ibara.
Hey!
He escaped. Ibara escaped. He is on the run.
- What?- Idiot!
What are you doing? You guys should go too!
Roger!
Hello.
Ibara ran away. He is on the loose.
Do you have any idea where he might go?
If he is left like this, there might be another victim.
Damn! We had no idea that he would do such a thing.
Hey, calm down.
How can I calm down?
You don't have any idea where he might go?
Hospital. That's the only place where he would go.
Ibara...
What are you doing?
Dr. Shiragami.
Is there anything I can do?
I can be
of help to your study, you said.
You said I was invincible because I felt no pain.
I...
I am an important person to you, right?
I want to be of help to you.
Before anything,
l will treat your wounds.
I will also call the police.
Doctor?
Being like this now,
you shouldn't be here.
Without me,
are you going to be okay?
I will be okay without you.
Director.
Ibara is at this hospital. Call the police as well.
I got a call just now. Ibara is here.
Make sure all the patients here are okay.
Tell the guards to check the monitoring control system.
Yes.
Director Shiragami.
Detective, Ibara appeared and ran away again.
He should still be in the vicinity.
Damn!
I...
saw you.
You killed
that family.
Please search more carefully again.
Yes.
Ohta, how is it?
No good. They have been searching again in every corner of this place.
I wonder if he went outside already.
He is nowhere near. Expand the search area. Find him no matter what!
Yes.
It was him.
