Episode 1
Friday
You can't come in here, OK. Go over there, OK.
Here, thanks for waiting.
Here, here, here, Great, great, made it on time.
Are they here? Yes.
You're really popular, Infertility clinic professor.
Well thanks to you, we've continued to increase fertility rates.
Yes, now smile. Professor Sakiyama, a little more smile....
More than this is impossible. Chikamori san, you need to
go to the baby's room soon. Yes, need to prepare the milk.
Nothings coming from the breasts yet. Excuse me for a moment.
Please, of course. Excuse me, sorry.
Yes, sixth floor. Yes?
Yes. Yes!
Even though we're so busy, having such an event.
Nachi Sensei, an emergency will be here in 4 minutes.
An index 1 shock, but the fetus is still OK it seems.
Today's an unlucky day. Immediately call Professor Susami.
Yes.
If it'll make you feel better, go ahead and hit me.
Sensei killed him.
Give it back... Give me my child back!
This wasn't supposed to happen.
This wasn't supposed to happen...!
He's not there, Professor Susami?
Are you OK? Yes.
Professor Sakiyama, why?
You worried if it's not Susami Sensei? Not really...
I came cause I was asked, don't look at me like that.
Suspect an uterine rupture, if we don't hurry...
Alright, I'll hurry. Please do.
Well, let's start. Scalpel.
Pean. Yes.
Yes laparotomy hook. Yes.
Name Chikamori Yuko
Sex Female
Jonan University Hospital Annex
She wasn't anywhere in the newborn's room.
Then... then where did she go?
Doesn't seem to be in the exam room and the ultrasound room either.
Are you sure you really took her to Chikamori san's room?
I'm sure I did!
I will check the bathing room one more time.
I will too!
We need more blood, an additional 6 units.
The hemorrhaging in total is over 3000. Have you found it, where it's hemorrhaging?
Gauze 500!
Susami Sensei, I've got it here, it's OK.
Can I take a look?
I'll relieve you. Yes.
I said it's OK.
Perhaps it's the lining. Better to let me.
Raise the uterus to maintain field of vision.
Oh this is it here. 1.0 biclip. Yes.
The hemorrhaging has stopped.
Intubation is stopped. We'll take the baby. Please do.
Good.
Good, let's close it up. You're not going to resection the myoma?
There's no need for any more bleeding.
Thinking about the next pregnancy, I think the myoma should be removed.
You intend to just leave it like this, Susami Sensei?
Biclip. Yes.
What should I do....
You despise me that much?
However, you can't drive me out.
Recently, Assisted Reproductive Medicine has become more advanced.
If we make healthy children, and delivery is safer.
You even intend to get into gene manipulation?
Society is steadily moving forward.
It'll be here eventually, being able to design your own kid.
Such an age will be here before you think.
Professor! What is it?
Disappeared.
A baby has disappeared!
The cables on the back table please.
The camera's were this paltry things?
Oh Ariyoshi kun, the Director?
He just got back from Bangkok,
he's coming directly here from the airport.
Who would do such a cruel thing...
Yes really. And of all things, it was Chikamori san's child.
Manager! The Director sent a message.
"Don't let the police investigate more than necessary." it was.
The thing about the project, right. I know that.
Is everyone here?
Jonan Police Station
The kidnapped is an infant born 1 week ago.
We have to safely protect it, it's a battle of time. Reports.
Yes!
The child victim is the 2nd child of Chikamori Hiroshi and wife Yuko, a girl.
The Chikamori house is in Setagaya Kamibayashi 2-chome.
A unit is already set up at the home.
Mr. Chikamori is on the faculty in engineering research at Tokyo Chuo University.
Is quite accomplished in his specialized field, is said to be a future Nobel prize winner.
His wife is Naito Yuko, the marathon runner.
Yes, she's already retired, but is still quite well known
from her Olympic appearance. That she's had children,
has it been reported in the media? Not yet, it is not known
at this time whether the culprit was targeting the Chikamoris or not.
Who was the last person to see the baby?
Yes! That was the midwife talking to the mother
about biting... Biting?
Fine. It's not established that it's kidnapping.
The rookie here, doesn't need to be so nervous.
The midwife and mother were having a disagreement.
The midwife said she was taking the baby to the mother's room,
The mother said she wasn't going.
Oh, Giichi san. Yes, Himura.
Chief, there's a little problem.
What is it?
Get out!
The mother won't speak with us.
If they find out the police are here, who knows what they'll
do to the baby!? Hurry and get out!
An elite lady, we're not able to tell her anything.
"Then, this weeks horoscope.
Second place is Aquarius.
It is likely to be relied upon, but use it carefully."
Oh my dear, can you be used maybe.
Oh, this old machine, is still vigorous.
Hayamizu san.
Wow... It's good you're not doing much.
Once I start something, I can't stop. They say it's nesting instinct.
Even at home I have to straighten up, my husband praises me.
You can't wait. Oh right, the phone.
Oh it was something on your cell, however.
It's impossible, I'm in General Affairs right now.
Hear me out.
After another week, I'll be on maternity leave. My belly's so big like this.
The kidnapped is a baby born only a week ago.
Not someone else's problem. So for that, I'd
like you to work here until you go on maternity leave.
Before you take your leave, we need to count on you just a bit.
No way. I've made a promise tomorrow that I can't break.
Well then, it'd be alright if you solve it today in one day.
I sent someone to get you, if you could.
Perhaps, you're with Special Victims?
Oh, Hayamizu san? ...oh really, what?
Oh my gosh, really... I really have to go?
You're joining the investigation, with that stomach?
You came to get me right.
I'm Dobashi. Hayamizu.
The first name? Fukusuke... however.
Fukusuke? I heard it was a baby girl, however.
What? Oh, the baby. It hasn't been named yet.
Even though it was born a week ago? No wonder things are like this...
Dunno?
For now, that we've determined I'm going to the hospital,
Fuku chan. Fuku chan?
Excuse me!
My wife...! My wife...!
Yuri. Yuri, are you OK? Are you OK?
How far along are you? 32 weeks.
Call obstetrics.
I did take the baby to the room.
Chikamori san went in the washroom, answered she'd be right out.
Therefore I left the baby in the room....
In other words, you didn't actually see her get the baby.
Is it my fault?
These babies, they are all Scorpions.
The fortune today, is the 5th from the bottom of the 12 constellations.
In general, probably not the best day to be born.
This child, that child too, it's probably such a day maybe.
Well...
Chikamori san, you too are a Scorpio, right?
Why is it I wonder? You have the same sign, your birthday is near,
when they should all have the same fortune,
why was it not these children, but only your child?
How is it you know...
Leave! You're police, right?
Chikamori san. It was those people!
They were having that event, took their eyes off the baby...
It was a lie they took it to the room!
The baby was here. It was here!
Chikamori san, you OK? What's wrong?
You are police right. You were the emergency pregnancy.
Excuse me. Because I wanted to be natural as much as possible.
This person is not in any condition to talk right now, OK.
If you have questions, our staff is more than sufficient.
Aside from that, could you please quickly find the child.
That's what I want, but there are so many liars.
Liars? Yes.
It's just, that from what everyone on the staff has said,
it's impossible that a baby can be taken from this newborn room.
There's a security camera there.
A security card is needed to go in and out,
And each small bed has a sensor attached, right?
It's known right away if a baby is picked up.
If I were the criminal, I wouldn't take the risk,
and would aim for the child in the mother's room.
The baby alone in the mother's room.
Don't you think so, Chikamori san?
The liar is someone on the staff?
Didn't they take their eyes off of it, the baby?
The bad person is the criminal. It's not you.
I got a call from my older child....
And so you put the baby down, and left the room?
During that time, it disappeared?
What should I do... if anything happens to the baby.
She left the baby to talk with her son?
Haven't met since being hospitalized, seems she was missing him.
Priority with the son over the just born daughter?
As a parent the worst.
Well certainly, something does feel strange...
Giichi san, you think it's an inside job?
There is one person that does not have an alibi for that time.
Who is that? Professor Susami.
We're short handed, please be brief.
That you had to come, we're sorry. Well ah, Sensei,
At the time of the kidnapping, where were you?
I already informed another person, I was in surgery.
Ah.. sorry, but before that. Before?
From talking with Chikamori san, we understand the kidnapping
would have occurred at 2:15.
You came to the operating room at 25 minutes after.
Before that, what were you doing?
On break.
And it seems you didn't come when paged.
Because I was on break. Even though you usually come?
When you're on break, in a meeting, or in the toilet?
Are you suspecting me? Please tell us what you were doing?
I was eating a lunch in the courtyard.
Is there anyone that can prove that?
If I kidnapped the child, what would be my reason?
It would never cross my mind, if you suspect me, please tell me the reason.
Well right.
The Chikamori couple received infertility treatment at this outpatient facility, right?
The attending, certainly was Sakiyama Sensei? Yes.
With advanced and comprehensive treatment, chances for pregnancy are increased.
Domestic state-of-the-art reproductive medicine outpatient
With advanced and comprehensive treatment,
chances for pregnancy are increased!!!
It's a reproductive medicine clinic?
It seems that it's Sakiyama Sensei's great success, that's this hospital's biggest breadwinner.
The hospital is noted for it's teaching of obstetrics by Sakiyama Sensei.
Even though you are already the professor here.
You don't find that interesting?
And what's more, the Hospital Director has given the project
of expanding to overseas markets to Professor Sakiyama and not to you?
What do you want to say?
If a patient child in Sakiyama Sensei's care
his reputation will fall, his management skills will be questioned.
Wouldn't that be a convenient for you, Sensei?
I'm leaving.
Oh.. yea, if you are really thinking that,
could you bring me some proof.
Now... What do you think, did I read it?
Either way... kind of pushy.
Well, what do you think of that professor?
Well, it seems he's hiding something.
You think I hit the mark? Mmm, I wonder?
Think it's something simpler.
Someone that saw the babies in the newborn ward,
then kidnapping one of the babies, of course
it would be someone that wanted a baby.
Excuse me Professor. Oh, I'm sorry.
What? These papers...
In the last year here, stillbirths, miscarriages, infertile, all such patients.
For the police?
Oh, Professor Susami, your interview is over?
Really these police, calling everyone.
If it's money, we could resolve it with money, that would be good.
Those documents, why does the police? They're all suspects.
After the staff, next is patients.
It's disgusting they think the suspect may be in here.
No way....
Professor? Professor Susami!
"Give me my child back!"
This wasn't supposed to happen...!
Wasn't supposed to happen...
Good work.
Hello.
Who is this?
This is Susami with Jonan obstetrics.
Susami san. Professor Susami!
I'm surprised.
I come home, and there's a baby crying. I don't get it.
I even talked with her, I don't understand at all.
Don't worry. I'll come right there.
Therefore, that baby... Susami Sensei.
she's used to it now.
What do you mean? How can it be?
I think it's regrettable about Kishida san's baby.
Regrettable?
What will happen, to us?
You'll be OK, return it, I'll get them to understand.
Hello, This is Jonan University Hospital! It's about money, right?
We'll pay whatever! Cause we'll pay, return the baby!
Hello! Hello!
You idiot! It's you, calling the culprit!
They'll dump the baby! If we do it like this...
Hey, what's going on here!?
You said this absolutely wouldn't happen, right.
There's no information linking the suspect to Susami or Oide.
What's happening? Five groups are converging on the location.
Group A and B are in position.
Good, go in!
No occupants in the room. No baby blanket either.
The baby bed is still warm, they just barely escaped.
Let's go! Switch to searching the area.
A group, north and east. B group... They got away.
Tomo! You idiot!
The suspects name is Kishida Tomo, age 40.
The husband Yuya she fled with is 35, thus a wife older than the husband.
Until two days ago, she was an obstetrics patient here.
Written here she had a stillbirth at 28 weeks.
The person who kidnapped the baby, is someone that wanted a baby.
Just as you read it.
This person was also Professor Sakiyama's patient.
Did she had fertility treatments? Even so she had a stillbirth.
At that time Professor Susami was in charge, and she came to see him today...
Must have come back feeling bitter,
there must have been something she wanted to say?
What did you talk about, with Kishida san?
I just listened so she could vent some anger.
Then she wouldn't have take the baby, now would she!?
Well, what should I have done!?
Was there really no problems causing the stillbirth?
There was nothing!
Minamoto Sensei said that was the case too!
Isn't that right?
It suddenly started when she was hospitalized early to manage hypertension.
No one would have expected it. Is that right?
But it's what happened after that's inexcusable!
The Director just got here.
Welcome back.
Sakiyama kun, I'm sorry, this came up in the middle of a contract.
It's really inexcusable.
I'm an obstetrician too.
I know the bitter feelings of a patient with a stillbirth.
Anyway, for now let's pray the child will be returned safely.
Arata.
My wife? This way.
That's Chikamori san's family.
I'll go with them and see how the wife is doing.
Arata!
My sister?
Have you found her?
We're currently searching. They can't have gone far.
That's all? Just waiting for them to get caught in a web?
We have to leave the method to them. If you hadn't have taken your eyes off...
You think I thought this would happen!?
All you ever do is think about Arata!
Don't bring that up! You're always...
Chikamori san, if your wife doesn't get some rest now...
Anyway, to get the child back, we'll exhaust
all effort.
Is that child able to receive milk?
Kishida's apartment had evidence left in it that the child was being cared for.
It's just that now, the suspect is in very desperate circumstances.
To be ready for the worst case scenario, we too are proceeding with extreme caution.
Worst case scenario? You don't mean, like being made to...
Are you OK!? Please call a nurse!
Nozomi
That baby's name....
It's cute.
Her brother is Arata, little sister is Nozomi.
But he rejected it. Why is that?
Papa thinks it's too simple.
Simplistic?
You can leave, I need to change.
Excuse me.
Oh, milk.
There was never any before, why now....
Even though she wanted it, that baby.
She wanted from me.
Wanted it, wanted it, I even did in vitro....
You'd think we would have been quicker to give her a name.
Then I could have called her by her name...
Gou kun, phone.
What's up? Yea, we're watching a DVD.
Right. About tomorrow, ask Yusuke kun what time is good.
Coming home? Don't need to force yourself.
Yusuke will understand. I'll be coming.
It is the first time you've been alone with Yusuke kun, however.
The movie Yusuke's watching is for class tomorrow.
Quiet.
Hey, Gou kun. Yea?
When I get home, shouldn't we think of a name together?
Don't we decide after it's born and we see the face?
Yea... that's true, but....
Are you OK~?
I'm OK, see you later.
Sensei! She'll be OK, right!? It's not a miscarriage, right?
It can't be. It's absolutely not possible!
"Not possible", he says...
I wonder if it's gene manipulation?
Gene manipulation? Yes.
Well, maybe that one isn't?
That one was probably just selecting from fertilized eggs.
Or rather, pre-diagnosis implantation.
What are you talking about?
You don't know and you're pregnant.
Are you a patient in obstetrics here? Well...
I'm a person in the lab. Lab? Not a Doctor?
Oh, Embryo Culture Technician.
I fertilize eggs and care for them. Oh, outpatient fertility clinic.
It is beautiful! a fertilized egg you know.
Each one is unique, their texture, flexibility too.
What you just said, pre-diagnosis implantation, if you do that,
is it really not possible to have a miscarriage?
Mmm, not that it's not impossible.
But the abnormal chromosome's that cause miscarriages can be lowered.
When you have fertilized eggs, they're be several variations, right.
And then you examine each one of them,
Then the eggs that don't have the abnormal chromosomes
are then implanted back into the mother's womb.
Therefore if there are no other problems, the baby will develop.
Then those people that just came in, did that?
Well....
In Japan, that is about the limit to what can be done.
They're doing a lot more in America?
Over there, as long as you have the money,
you can have anything that you wish for. Wish?
If you want to give birth no matter what,
you want to have a certain type. That kind of wish.
Techniques exist to meet one's expectations.
It's called a Designer Baby,
it's quite to an advanced level it seems.
Designer Baby?
Why did this happen I wonder?
It would be good for you to sleep a little.
How far will she go to insure the safety...
It's scary however... I have something to tell you.
If we track down Kishida and drive her into a corner,
we don't know what she will do.
However, it is possible she will make contact if we wait.
With Professor Susami.
Kishida resents the Professor, and will likely contact him.
I know it's difficult, you being a pregnant woman,
You probably have a lot of plans. Please let me stay on.
What? It's a mother's battle, I can persuade Kishida.
I'll do it.
Why are you laughing?
Well, it's decided then. Everyone get prepared.
Good, Hayamizu.
Raise feelings, tell them off, tricking them, anything is fine.
it's life or death. I understand.
Yes.
Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you so much.
Any calls to the hospital will be routed through here.
Hayamizu. You and the professor, you bring the Kishida couple back to the real world.
Wish of Aspiration.
Rare wish.
Nozomi, you'll go back to your mother.
It's connected.
Jonan University Hospital.
Hello, this is Jonan University Hospital, however.
Professor Susami in Obstetrics.
If it's Kishida, be sure to not provoke him.
Anyway, please try to keep him talking. Yes.
This is Susami.
This is Susami... Kishida san?
I'm really sorry.
Was it Kishida? Details?
We got the number, it's on a wireless network.
We don't know the location. Crap!
It's the same number. Connected.
Hello.
Why the apology? Why would you apologize?
That's because you guys....
You said at that time,
"It wasn't an accident or anything, just bad luck."
So that was a lie? Of course you killed it?
No... no way... there's no way!
Wanted to save the mother, the baby too. Tried to save them!
Told you not to provoke him!
This time? We have the base station. It's Neriuma.
Neriuma Takamatsu Fujimidai around Nukui. In that area.
Neriuma Section. Vehicles head to Neriuma D block.
Have me talk next.
You heard didn't you. Doubt he'll call again.
I don't think he'll leave it at this.
I'm sure he has more he wants to say.
It's the same number. Please let me.
Too soon still. The guys still interested in the professor.
It's connected.
This is Susami. Please let me.
Give it back! Give the baby back!
Who's there?
Please, give the baby back!
I know, it was all Susami Sensei's fault, right?
Who are you?
I'm the mother. Give my baby back!
We said the same thing how many times.
To that Susami san there. But it never came back.
Then, don't do the same thing.
Don't do the same thing as Susami Sensei!
What did you do! He'll never call again!
He'll call again.
You know what you have done? I told you to wait!
He will call again! The position?
Suginami district, Shimoigusa. Went to Kanpachi from Neriuma.
With him moving like that, he's using a vehicle.
Suginami B block! The suspect went south in a vehicle to Kanpachi!
If he calls, you know, right!
We negotiate, make him a deal.
It's Kishida, connecting.
Let me here the baby's voice.
Put Susami on. Please!
I know you! You're Naito Yuko, the marathoner.
It's people like you that I despise the most.
Casually making children. Casually giving birth.
For you, it's just normal and natural.
You don't know do you?
It was our first time, that her womb got big.
After 2 miscarriages, finally...
If we return it today, she will probably die.
She'll hug the baby screaming wah wah,
with the look of punishment for a lifetime....
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Absolutely... impossible!!
Said "impossible"....
Neriuma district again, Shakujii in Neriuma.
Moving randomly. D block, District 4!
This is bad prenatal care.
Moving around vigorously. Well that's hopeful.
Connecting.
You had in vitro fertilization?
What?
Tried and tried, even so you couldn't,
tried giving birth with in vitro fertilization?
Therefore? You two also,
have suffered through a lot?
That baby's name is Nozomi.
I want Nozomi back. Please tell her.
We'll do anything, if you return her.
We'll do anything....
South Seki area, this is a residential area.
He's on some kind of bike probably.
D block, District 2. It's possible the suspect is on a light vehicle.
Hey what was that, Nozomi?
The name the mother was thinking.
Well if it has a name, then there's the perception of birth.
Then the baby becomes a person. Maybe that will help.
This last one, was longer, right.
It's Kishida, connecting.
Hello.
Today at 12 noon at the east entrance to the Shinjuku underground mall.
Have Susami come with 20 million yen.
Susami's money. It has to be Susami.
If he does, I'll return Nozomi.
Definite, Senfukuji 4-2!
To Senfukuji 4-2, move immediately!
Kishida managed to get away.
Today's delivery at noon, we'll be counting on you.
Alright then. Well...
"Absolutely impossible." What do you think he meant?
Kishida said that right.
Or is it perhaps, Pre-diagnosis implantation, with such a thing....
Not likely it was that. Then why did he say....
Was there something else?
It wasn't an ordinary stillbirth,
there was something more...
Wasn't there something else?
If you'll excuse me.
Oh, you've done well. Getting us to this point is enough.
We'll take care of the rest.
There's something strange. What is?
This hospital. Kishida going to such lengths...
First we have to rescue Nozomi. Worry about the motive later.
You're free to go now. Like we promised. Great job.
??A melody instead of a flower bunch?
??This voice instead of holding you close?
??Always from a distance wanting to see you?
Hello. Are there any new developments?
Hey, why do you want to know that?
Isn't it interesting, kidnapping and such.
It's a baby that was abducted!
And there trying to keep it from leaking out.
But you've already told me, right.
Well I have, however...
We'll be sure to get her back.
Nozomi will....
Because she's the baby that we made for you.
