One day, a baby was kidnapped from a hospital.
Previously on Designer Baby:
Detective Hayamizu who is 8 months pregnant, was entrusted with the investigation.
This baby... is wrong.
Just when it seemed the kidnapping case was solved,
however, the baby was secretly switched for another.
If it's money you want, I'll pay whatever.
Return the baby right away.
You won't pay money for me.
The culprit is the director's son.
You idiot!
It's the Designer Baby you made.
Designer Baby?
On the other hand, the secrets of
a hidden reproductive project at the hospital were starting to come out.
Ruin the project....
Wait ! Stop ! Please stop !
Give chase! Yes!
Wait... you can't! It's dangerous! Let go ! Let go !
I will go, OK!
Nozomi!
Noritaka!
Toge! Everyone come back, there !
Noritaka,,,
He's here ! There !
Going down the south side!
Anyone there? Not yet, we can't get there.
What is beyond here?
There's the state road. We have units coming from the west side.
We'll push him to the state road.
Himura, make sure you capture him. Yes.
Drive him to the state road. Yes!
Chikamori san... What has happened?
We have a call from B group!
This is Yonaguni.
Mother?
Hey, he's not here? If he goes to the state road, he should be here.
Chief ! Here are some marks that he slipped!
Where did he go? He can't escape now, can he?
He, keep looking! Yes!
Tuesday
Can't we find any tracks? We can't find any footprints.
That jerk Toge, where'd he disappear to?
Haven't found him yet.
Seems they haven't found anything on the state road either.
Seems he disappeared somewhere in the mountain.
What is this!? Why can't anything get done!?
It's a baby.
I'm looking for Toge.
When I find him, I'll twist his neck off! Hey! Hey!
How much longer do you think it will be?
It was probably weighted with a stone, so she sank to the bottom,
because the body was so small, it will still take some time.
Please pull her up as soon as possible.
At his place....
I'll let you know.
Yes, Hayamizu.
Oh hello, it's me but, sorry while you're working.
Do you remember you have your 8 month checkup tomorrow?
Well, I was thinking I should cancel it, however..
Yusuke said you should go ahead as planned,
so I thought I should ask. Tomorrow is probably bad still.
The investigation isn't over yet, right?
It's over...
What happened?
I...
Sorry, it's not over.
But tell Yusuke kun to please understand.
I have to go now.
The hostage is dead. Suspect escaped!
For the Special Victims Unit, this is the worst case ever.
Why didn't you wait for the arrival of the main force?
If you'd have waited for the deployment, we wouldn't have missed capturing him!
Therefore we're now looking. From Toge's phone record,
we know that he was in frequent contact with his father's secretary.
Secretary? Ariyoshi Kumi. Now were pursuing that direction.
Therefore, we don't have the time to hear this preaching!
Well, Himura... Get back to the investigation.
You can't just mouth off to anyone! It's OK.
No matter what you say now, he won't hear it. You are calm, right, Yonaguni kun.
It's my intention. Today or tomorrow we'll hold a news conference.
At that time, if we can't report that we have captured the suspect,
your aim to be the first female police chief and your career as an administrator will be over.
You understand?
Yes.
Someone should take Toge's father.
We still need to question him, so tell them to stick by his side.
Alright.
She died?
Yes, I heard. Alright.
No, I will be absent from the faculty meeting.
You say she died...?
Chikamori san's child.
Sorry!
Director Toge is finished now.
This is the worst. What will the victims want now?
Everyone, we need to be silent. Isn't that right?
Stirring things up will not change the situation. We come up with a new director right away,
then they can deal with it! Who would want that?
Count me out, sorry.
But if there's no one here that will step forward...
Susami Sensei. I'll take it on.
Susami kun, aren't you a little young?
That's right. In the first place aren't you tangled up with this.
Therefore, I'm saying I'll take it on.
At any rate since I'm the supposed doctor that was the original cause of the kidnapping.
That being the case, I'll take the full responsibility,
doesn't that make the most sense?
I will be acting until you find a replacement.
Then you can dispose of me,
when you select the new Hospital director, OK?
Get in touch with police public relations, and please confirm the contents of the
press conference. We'll proceed along those lines along with
what we've discussed. Yes.
After the press conference, the patients will be anxious.
About our response, because I'll be leading it,
please gather at least the heads of each department. Will do.
Well, about the total care project, what should we do?
You say, "What should we do?"
We're in contract negotiations with the hospital in Bangkok.
But this has now happened with the director....
Please leave this matter to me.
Why are you acting director?
Somebody has to do it.
With this, you brazenly plan to smash the project?
Isn't this what you wanted from the start?
It seems one child is already dead! Only one week old,
as it is, we don't know what else will come up.
Both you and me, will be affected by this incident.
It's best to promptly bring this to a conclusion, right?
How did this happen....
All I was trying to do is help older patients to give birth.
Even though that was only it.
Who knew about this? Huh?
About the underside of the project, just the director and me?
There was someone that gave me copies of the notes!
I investigated, but I have no idea.
Then, I'll investigate that myself.
I'll have you transfer to Utsunomiya second hospital.
What do you mean?
If you are here, the project that Director Toge was promoting
will be scrutinized.
In conjunction with the victims and perpetrators, they will be turning over every leaf.
You want to hide what I've been doing? It's for the patients benefit!
Kishida san's baby, and now Chikamori san's baby have died.
We don't need any more injuries.
It's an injury for an older woman to give birth?
You don't acknowledge the work I've been doing, do you?
Are you going to transfer hospitals, or are you not?
After you've tidied up, please be careful.
Make sure nothing unnecessary gets out.
About 33 weeks, are you?
You can't tell?
I've been an ob-gyn for over 30 years.
I can tell by looking.
It's good to give birth at a young age like you.
It was tough for us.
For seven years after we married, we weren't able to.
When I suggested in vitro, my wife didn't want to.
At the time, prejudice was still strong.
It was frustrating. Didn't matter who told her
the practice was safe.
So what happened?
We were blessed naturally.
That's why that person said that.
You wanted a designer baby, right.
It would have been better if you could have designed me, right.
That was just crap.
Had no specific intention to create a designer baby.
That involves gene manipulation in fertilized eggs.
What we are doing...
Is the rejuvenation of eggs.
I looked into it.
They can't actually be rejuvenated.
We transplant the nucleus.
Nucleus? The cell nucleus.
In that is packed all the genetic information.
Nucleus
Patient's Egg
What we do is remove the nucleus from a young egg,
then implant the patient's nucleus and fertilize it.
If you do that, even though they get someone else's egg,
they'll give birth to a child with their own genes, right?
That was the research theme of Sakiyama kun.
You understand right, in the end, it is fertility treatment.
As the average age of marriage increases, women are older,
now those that have been unable to have children,
how much hope do you think we can now give them?
But you guys have been lying.
Kishida Tomo believed that another's sperm was used.
We had no choice but to tell her that.
Because of that lie, she suffered needlessly.
Therefore this incident happened. It can't be helped!
Nucleus transplantation is not yet approved in Japan.
However in Great Britain, with relation to specific illnesses,
it is legal. Therefore eventually in this country...
If you hadn't lied, this incident may not have happened.
And then, with your son too...
And then Nozomi, wouldn't have....
That idiot son....
He wanted to be a doctor, but couldn't.
He was good at sneaking around our back and going out to play,
we were at wits end of what to do.
Finally my wife bought a small weekend home.
She figured she could get him to study with no friends or anyone around quietly in the mountains.
Mountains? But before we knew it,
we were lamenting the fact he only became strong in the mountain geography.
Which mountains?
Not around here. The villas on the other side of that mountain.
That was what he was talking about?
He wasn't. That was sold along time ago.
Over there? Yes, but what of it?
The villa you just talked about, is it here? Right.
This tunnel here? It's not on this new map.
Did you get it? It got away.
It's fine to chase away.
Those guys are always coming and eating our crops.
Did you see Ryota? No, didn't see him.
Where did he go...
Ryota! Ryota!
Even though he's calling.
Sorry, sorry to surprise you.
After I rest a bit, I'll be leaving.
Oh, that, I read that too a long time ago.
Brings back memories. Can I see it.
Hey, is there a tunnel?
There is!
This is Hayamizu, can you hear me?
What's wrong, you're with Toge's father right?
Please sent back up. What?
Please send back up!
We got your email. Kurizawa village in Sugimiya district. What did you find?
A tunnel that Toge likely used to escape.
It connects to the other side of the mountain.
I'm pursuing him now. Good, I'll send people right away.
Please do.
Hey! Please stay with the car!
Oh, it's Flemming.
This person is famous for penicillin, he discovered lysozyme or something.
Look, even now it's used in anti-inflammatories.
Did you want to become a doctor?
What about you? I want to become a cartoonist.
What the...
Heh, it's pretty good.
What is your name? Ryota. Your name sir?
Noritaka, what a useless name...
Does it hurt a lot? Sorry, just a little tired.
I'll bring some water. Don't want it, don't want anything.
I mean.... you can't tell anyone there's a person here.
Run away! Run away!
Don't you move! You that kid's mother?
I'm police. Don't you move!
You're police... with that stomach?
Reinforcements have been called.
Then, I need to hurry and escape.
Don't take another step.
You involving some unrelated person.
You threw the baby in the river and escaped. Cause my father did too much.
That baby is not a tool for you to assert yourself!
It's not only me that gets treated like a thing!
It's all a product of my father's smugness anyway.
It was born from an egg he monkeyed around with.
That has nothing to do with that baby. That baby was just born.
After this is was supposed to live.
It's not thinking about anything.
You were with it for two days, right? Didn't you lovingly look after it?
Shut up! I'll kill you! I did it by myself!
That kid, if anything....
that baby you know... it was oppressive.
getting the formula, changing the diapers, always screaming...
Until it's fully satisfied, it never stops.
For me it really took guts...
Did you... care for Nozomi?
Even though you cared for her, you tossed her?
How was the look on my father's face?
Was he shocked beyond belief?
It was regrettable, I couldn't see well cause it was getting dark.
In here!
At 10:16, you are under arrest for kidnapping a minor.
Hey, the wound on his leg, that was cause of you?
Your wrong.
What is it, I was thinking I was praising you.
Noritaka!
It's still not too late now!
It's written that Flemming went to medical school after he worked at a company.
You wanted to become a Doctor, right? It's not to late now!
Chikamori san.
We've arrested the suspect.
Because he's injured he's being taken to the hospital first, but
we'll do an intense interrogation, and get the full story.
We regret that we weren't able to save your daughter.
Regret? Is there still more we can do here?
Of course, we don't mind continuing,
but the search will likely take some time.
There's a car waiting.
We'll do it again... What?
Once more, here....
Please stop it!
There's no other way. You know don't you?
Stop it! I don't want to hear it.
Arata!
It was good? Leaving escorting Toge's father to you.
Yonaguni san ordered you to, right?
Seems there was a villa that Toge used to use.
If so, then we should call Forensics.
I know it ended like this, Toge is arrested,
the woman too, can't run much longer. The case will be over.
Toge cared for Nozomi.
What? So I don't think he could have done it.
Wait, the it.... what?
Toge, of course was here with the woman.
The secretary Ariyoshi, was it?
So, what are you looking for?
Diapers. Maybe there's no diapers?
Here, look this many.
This one, still seems pretty fresh.
Take a whiff. Stop that please.
Nozomi was probably here until just recently.
Nozomi was? Where did they go?
What, so you mean, that that wasn't Nozomi that?
It was something else that was tossed in the river, and Toge left Nozomi here.
She's with Ariyoshi, is that what you mean?
A timetable.
Oh look, this is circled.
Serious?
Call the Station. Get a look of their security footage.
You'll probably see a woman carrying a baby.
Sakiyama Sensei?
Oh, the documents to be handed over to Minimoto kun.
Incidentally this picture. Maybe he won't want it, but.
Is it really true? You're transferring to another hospital?
Yamahara san, I am grateful to you also.
Since you joined the team, the pregnancy rate has certainly increased.
As Minamoto kun recommended, you have the hands of a god.
It's regrettable.
Restriction enzyme? Plasmid?
Minamoto kun, why would he be ordering such a thing?
Oh... wouldn't it be for an experiment?
Certainly to do gene research on the theme of mice fetus.
Sakiyama Sensei, well, he wouldn't be tampering with people....
Oh... excuse me.
Father, I don't have a sister anymore?
Later your mother will talk with you about that, OK.
It's really unfortunate about your daughter.
For Chikamori san, it was very...
I think it is an extremely great loss.
The existence of your daughter was absolutely necessary.
Isn't that right?
What do you mean?
No, it's just... you have my condolences from the bottom of my heart.
Yes. Outside call for Professor Sakiyama.
Please connect.
Hello, this is Ariyoshi.
Huh, you suddenly disappeared,
Please tell me what's happening, about the kidnapping?
That was the Director's son and...
What happened? Did something happen to him?
You... are you with a baby?
I don't know, what should I do...
Wait a minute, that baby....
Is that baby Chikamori san's?
If he didn't come back, he told me
to take care of it. But I can't...
so it's alive...?
What should I do....?
That baby... I want to see that baby.
What? Listen to me.
First let's meet, that baby.... I want to see that baby.
Ariyoshi san. Take the baby to the place that I tell you.
We're on the trail of Ariyoshi Kumi.
She came back to Shinjuku by train. What about Nozomi?
With her. Ariyoshi's carrying a baby.
Hayamizu, you nailed it.
We got Ariyoshi on camera using a phone in Shinjuku.
Good, look into the record of that call right away. Yes.
We got permission to postpone today's news conference.
Work with all effort to follow the trail and arrest Ariyoshi tonight,
so tomorrow we can announce the safe recovery of the hostage.
Yes!
You heard? Yes.
That person's career is just hanging by a thread too,
she's got some fight now. Hurry back here.
We've got Ariyoshi cornered.
Roger that. The final scene. Let's hurry.
The news conference postponed? Why is that?
They haven't yet given a reason.
There's some new development, right?
After catching the suspect? Perhaps,
the director has told them something?
Sakiyama Sensei.
I finished tidying everything up. Well about that, however.
I'm in a bit of a hurry! I accept that it is the
situation. The situation has changed.
The director may have spoken to the police
about the hidden things of the project. So?
The hospital will have to deal with it differently now.
So now that you're not going to hide it, so of course you want me here.
Is that what it is? Hey, what are you trying to do?
Sorry, but you need to prepare for the worst.
It's you that needs to be prepared!
You have never recognized my work. Barely understood it, were disgusted.
But the truth is, you're just afraid.
I became the acting director with the intention of accepting it all.
I planned to answer the criticisms for your work too.
All you can do for that, is just apologize,
some vague answer like that.
But this is not the time for that.
This world is full of people like you.
Arrogantly saying we're fiddling around with life,
thinking you can end it by just looking away.
But it's not that way. We will slowly keep moving forward.
As long as there are patients in front of us that can't be cured,
we'll learn do do things we can't do now.
Because we are doctors doing research.
Now matter how scared you guys are, or how you refuse to see,
it won't stop. It absolutely won't stop.
Not just nucleus transplants. In reality...
What is it? A bomb will be laid.
Bomb? No one can stop it.
Wait, Sakiyama san wait a minute. What is it?
Really, please prepare yourself.
Because I will spell it all out.
Have you seen my son?
I just saw him go into that lavatory.
Thank you.
Arata. You in here?
Arata!
Excuse me. Chikamori san.
Pediatrics is where? To pediatrics?
Oh, ah... He's got an infection! Hurry,
he needs treatment! An infection? This boy has leukemia!
I'll get pediatrics. Arata, what happened?
Arata was collapsed in the toilet...
We've got a hospital room waiting.
Come this way please.
She's here.
The camera for the Sotetsu line at Yokohama station. Which way is she headed?
Towards Ebina. Oh, found her!
At Kib?gaoka Station toward Ebina, 14:41 out of the ticket gate.
What's she doing there? It hasn't even been 30 minutes.
Good, send someone! We'll solve this in one swoop.
Please wait a minute. Make sure she didn't come back to the station.
Check the footage after that. Yes, will do.
She came back. Where's Nozomi?
What's this... Where is she?
It is in the direction of Shonandai. That's where the Ariyoshi home is.
What station? Yumegaoka. We're going, we'll wait for Ariyoshi at the ticket gate.
Contact the prefectural police for cooperation. Deploy investigators at the other stations.
Yes. Don't let it leak out!
What time does the train get to the station? 3:30!
We have 20 minutes. Go!
It'll arrive at Yumegaoka station in two minutes.
Wait!
You're Ariyoshi Kumi, right? Sorry, excuse me.
Where is the baby!?
Sakiyama Sensei told me to.... Sakiyama?
Professor Sakiyama?
What we were doing was transplanting the nucleus.
That was the theme of Sakiyama kun's research.
This Sakiyama? The Professor of obstetrics at Jonan, but...
It seems he was doing some experimental treatments secretly on the project with Toge's father.
Is this related to this incident? I don't know.
But both Nozomi and Kishida Tomo's child were born as a result of this experimental treatment.
You... how long have you known this?
I was talking with the hospital director in the car today...
So what did this Professor Sakiyama say?
He said, "take it to the nursery..."
Nursery?
Social Welfare Division. Kibougaoka Infant Home
What is going on? Oh, excuse us, we're police.
A woman brought an infant here just a little bit ago, right?
Yes, we got a call from Sakiyama Sensei at Jonan University hospital.
Sakiyama came here? No, not yet. Where is that child?
In the other room.
Which is Nozomi, I don't know?
Wait, who are you? Police.
The baby that was just brought in?
The one the woman brought, go ahead and tell them.
She's already gone. What? The director
had her taken somewhere, right? No.
Well, cause it was gone so soon, I thought you had persuaded
her to keep it.... It was gone? Yes.
Sakiyama... Sakiyama took her?
What happened?
Right before our eyes this isn't settled?
We'll get Sakiyama right away.
I'm going to the hospital.
Didn't you find him?
He should be here, he's not at home, his car's here.
What about his office? We're going now.
Hey! Someone! Someone come!
There's someone! Blood!
No way...
