Kidnapped Nozomi disappeared into the water.
Previously on Designer Baby:
The Chikamoris and Detective Hayamizu were on the brink of despair.
That baby is not a tool for you to assert yourself!
It was born from an egg he monkeyed around with.
Maybe that project's aim is to create a designer baby.
That was just crap.
We transplant the nucleus. Nucleus?
Not just nucleus transplants. What is it?
A bomb will be laid.
Hayamizu knew that Nozomi was a special child...
Nozomi was probably here until just recently.
The director's secretary Ariyoshi had taken her.
What should I do... I want to see that baby.
The baby that was just brought in? She's already gone.
What?
Nozomi was taken to see Sakiyama.
However....
What happened?
Fell down the fire escape stairs.
The hit was systemic, the cerebral vessels may clot.
An accident?
There's no mistaking he took a hard fall...
What do you mean?
The thing with Sakiyama Sensei's research, there being a problem with it becoming exposed?
So he was backed into a corner.
Sakiyama Sensei, wait! Please hear me out!
Give it up already.
This is not a problem that only I can put a stop too.
I'm begging you, please just don't announce it.
If you go public with it now, who knows how terrible
the world will treat that child...
It's your fault, isn't it. You made such a child!
I'm announcing it. Everyone should know what will happen.
Sakiyama Sensei, please wait. I'm begging.
Let go of me. Please....
Now it's OK.
The person in charge? They're not here.
Then what about Detective Hayamizu? I want to know what's going on.
If you want to know anything, we are here.
Please tell me, was this an accident?
Sensei, it seems you were having a loud argument with Sakiyama Sensei.
Oh, you have anything?
This was left behind.
I am deeply sorry I am deeply sorry I am deeply sorry
Suicide note? I wonder?
I just talked with Professor Susami.
Like you said, it leaked out they were transplanting nucleus,
it seemed Sakiyama was visibly shaken.
Was it so bad as a doctor, he would commit suicide?
I am deeply sorry I am deeply sorry I am deeply sorry
Committing suicide, the incident, Professor Sakiyama not going to that nursery.
If that's the case, who would have taken Nozomi, I wonder?
There's no eyewitnesses, it's a pain there's no security cameras.
This has turned into another big search. Get in the car.
Yes.
Get back and question Ariyoshi. Maybe they've got something from Sakiyama.
She said anything yet?
She not saying anything to protect Toge, right.
For today, will forgo this stuff.
Now matter how much I ask, you're going to protect each other.
Protect each other? You, your boyfriend.
What did he say?
It seems he keeps saying you're not involved.
Ariyoshi san, was it just Professor Sakiyama that you called?
I couldn't think of anyone else.
Because I knew that the director had consulted about my boyfriend's kidnapping,
I thought perhaps he could help me.
What did the Professor plan to do with Nozomi?
Said to give it back to the parents. Told me the address of the nursery.
You were leaving her there, so Nozomi could be returned.
I think he wanted to see her there first.
That baby... I want to see that baby.
See Nozomi?
It was like he wanted to meet a patient with a very rare case.
Rare case?
Nozomi is?
I'm late. You haven't started have you.
Aren't you going to do the microscopic fertilization we talked about?
Minamoto kun. Cause I'll go with you,
let's go talk to the police. About what?
Just kidding. Now calm down.
I put that child in a safe place.
How can I keep quite about something like this?
Mmm, I wonder now...
The police probably wouldn't understand our motive, but.
The patient... the patient might say something.
Chikamori san won't say anything.
If she talks about that,
they know how difficult it would become for themselves.
Here's the key for egg cell tank one. Because I borrowed it, returning it.
Number 1...
It's the tank with Yamahara san's eggs.
Where did you?
There being taken care of. I know well how important
those are to you.
Sakiyama Sensei committed suicide.
We don't know anything.
That's right?
I don't think it was suicide. Then a crime?
Professor Sakiyama thought Nozomi was special. He wanted to see her.
Nozomi is probably special to the criminal too.
So Sakiyama was pushed off, and Nozomi was snatched?
Can I speak up in the investigator's meeting?
I get your reading on it, but today just be submissive.
I'm sorry I was late reporting about Professor Sakiyama's
nucleus transplants. But at the time... I know....
But you know, to the commissioner that is not proof.
What are they thinking of me anyway?
They are only focused on getting Nozomi returned.
That's what we've always been doing, but.
Anyway, try to get through this investigation meeting with your eyes closed.
We've added some new investigators.
Special assignment.
Yonaguni kun, give an explanation of the case so far.
The original offender at the outbreak of the incident, is Kishida Tomo who's in custody,
The second abductor is Toge Noritaka, also in custody as of yesterday.
We also have in custody, Ariyoshi Kumi who Toge entrusted Nozomi to,
and the case was about to be concluded.
However, because we failed to have pertinent information in a timely manner,
a new incident appeared involving a Professor Sakiyama,
and Nozomi was taken somewhere again.
Henceforth,
we were to announce the new developments but, before that we were back to square one.
We feel it vital to carry on investigation secretly.
If there is anything that is observed, it needs to be reported immediately.
Himura. Yes.
The suspect knew Noaomi was at the nursery.
which means he likely heard the call between Professor Sakiyama
and Ariyoshi.
Which means the possibility the suspect is in the hospital is high.
Once again we need to examine the hospital staff.
The special victims unit will continue gathering details on location.
The newly assigned special investigators...
we'd like you to investigate Professor Sakiyama's fall.
Wait a minute. We've already been watching everything related to the hospital.
We'll also handle the thing with Professor Sakiyama.
We feel it's necessary to have new eyes looking at this case.
Isn't it too much of a burden for a pregnant person?
How is being pregnant have anything to do with this!
You guys half-assed investigation is why we were called in the first place.
Stop! Stop Now!
Stop ! Stop !
Special division is the worst. You stirred it up.
Long time since you've taken such a stand.
Them saying that, didn't it tick you off?
I was told to endure it with my eyes closed. Hayamizu.
You are to remain here. But if I don't report to Chikamori san.
That will now be done by me.
You're taking me off the case? Go home and rest.
I want to ask Chikamori san why Professor Sakiyama
thought Nozomi was so special.
You need a complete report by tomorrow done on
Sakiyama's nucleus transplant.
Hey ah..
Please be prudent.
Because they still haven't been told Nozomi is alive.
That will be kept from them,
till she's rescued, and confirmed with DNA,
you're not going to report it to the parents?
We can't give them any unconfirmed information.
And to other hospital personnel, we don't intend to say anything.
Dobashi, come for a minute. What?
There's talk of complete change on an
open investigation. Of course we'll make all effort to stop it.
Turning it over is the same as giving up.
Wednesday
Have the police called?
That baby is still in the river.
Birth not even registered, not even given a name.
Stop now. Please.
Thanks for waiting.
As you said, It's AML, acute myeloid leukemia.
By any chance, if there were to be a relapse...
We'll check with our bone marrow bank.
That's not necessary. Our younger child was born two weeks ago,
That time, we kept the blood from the umbilical cord.
If you have that, you can treat him, right?
If the HLA is the right type, but.
It is. We gave it to the bank for safekeeping.
That is fortunate.
Well, with that in mine, we'll plan for treatment with the umbilical cord blood.
We're expanding the search to 20 km of the nursery.
Go over with a fine tooth comb everyone carrying a baby.
Yes!
(Nucleus transplantation)
"It was like he wanted to meet a patient with a very rare case."
Something more special than a nucleus transplant?
What are you looking at?
This, this, I want to show you.
This came up when I searched "gene manipulation."
Isn't it muscular? Then this.
It's bigger.
An experiment for more food, the genome edit.
Genome edit? The ultimate gene manipulation.
Create a body to meet one's needs.
Wouldn't it be cool if that was Nozomi too?
To grow large muscles? Or long legs, or big breasts?
That would be a rare case?
Well, they don't do this with humans do they.
A designer baby, made to the parents wishes.
Chikamori san's hopes...
You can't, go to the hospital.
I know.
Hello. Oh hello, it's me.
Today's prenatal exam, however.
Of course you forgot.
You OK, can you go? Thanks for letting me know!
Yusuke wanted to come.
Well, it's OK.
Chief, I need to be gone for about 2 hours.
Why so sudden? I have an prenatal exam.
Found you.
After this appointment, can I still work today?
No answer...
Sorry.
Tokyo Riverside Hospital.
Strange... she should be here.
Strange....
Sakiyama Sensei.
It seems Professor Sakiyama has regained consciousness.
That's good. But I wonder what happened?
I heard it was suicide. No way.
Minamoto Sensei, do you have a moment?
Yea.
I was busy with work yesterday afternoon,
I was in the lab the whole time. We you with anyone?
With Minamoto Sensei.
Because Yamahara san was overwhelmed,
I helped her, we talked...
I was in the lab the whole time.
It is deeply regrettable, we haven't yet found your daughter.
We are continuing with an all our search.
Is that all?
They send an administrator just to tell us
you haven't yet found our daughter?
Actually, we do have a request.
Video from yesterday. You remember?
Yes.
At his time, what was said?
Why do you want to know?
We have information that
Professor Sakiyama is involved with your daughter's case.
Chikamori san, your baby was born
from an egg that the professor had transplanted the nucleus, right?
At the time, was there any other treatments you received?
How does that have anything to do with this?
If your going to accuse, please go find that child.
We don't have any need for this now.
How did they know, even about that...
If we don't say anything, they won't know anything.
Pediatrics?
What are you doing?
Susami Sensei, what's wrong with Arata kun?
It's Leukemia. Condition turned for the worse.
Wait a minute.
Please wait. Hayamizu san.
Give me a break. There's something I need to find right now.
You wanting to go into Sakiyama san's office?
That's impossible isn't it? I have something I want to ask.
What is it? About Nozomi.
Yesterday Sakiyama said something.
A bomb has been laid. A bomb?
No one can stop it.
A bomb?
Some great big announcement that he was going to make.
About Nozomi?
That means there is only one thing I can think of.
I want to confirm that.
The Professor will show me, then we'll be out.
Against regulations, right.
Let's investigate quickly. Here.
Chikamori baby.
Sakiyama Sensei transplanted the nucleus.
There should be minute data on the child born.
Of course.... What is it?
Hearing that Chikamori san's son has leukemia,
In pediatrics they were inquiring about the HLA type. HLA?
It's like the blood type of the white blood cells. There's many combinations.
The son's HLA types are written here. Nozomi's type is
exactly the same.
Nozomi's type matches Arata kun?
Perhaps Nozomi is a Sibling Savior.
Sibling Savior?
For a sick sibling, a baby is born from a fertilized egg
with matching HLA types to provide a donor of blood and bone marrow.
That's the bomb Professor Sakiyama was talking about?
In other words, Nozomi was made for Arata kun.
Just.... Just?
Professor Susami, we're looking for you. That you would be in here?
I thought you were finished with me, however.
The situation has changed, we need to start from the beginning.
And the reason you are loitering around here too.
Please wait a minute. This is... Alright then.
Sorry for all my useless talk. Let's go.
Jonan University Hospital Annex.
This is Ikeda Bio DNA Institute,
about the inquiry we received from Sakiyama san yesterday.
Sakiyama is out temporarily, I can take a message.
The type of restriction enzymes that were delivered there.
I'll take notes.
Go ahead. It was ZAB number 2.
ZAB number 2.
Hey, what is this used for?
It's for splitting DNA, however.
Thank you.
Restriction enzymes...
Hayamizu san!
What are you thinking, being here. It'll be trouble if your found out.
I reported myself, to Yonaguni san.
Well, it's probably already out by now, anyway.
What is that!? I was seriously worried,
First time in my life I had to look where there's just women!
Right!
Yusuke kun! Why?
Kosuke said he couldn't make it, sent me.
While we were waiting, we started talking.
And he's really worried about your baby.
Sorry, this was...
Your irresponsible.
If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have learned something.
This is something no one else can do?
That's what I thought.
You're the only one who can give birth to this baby.
Wow, he really said it.
Shut up. The damage is done.
...so, what will you do? About what?
Do as your told and go back?
Or keep on as your doing and make him mad?
Arata... Arata. Mama is here!
What did they say at the bank? Is the umbilical cord blood here?
Well... we can't use that to treat him this time. Why is that?
The number of hematopoietic stem cells in the umbilical cord blood
are not sufficient. Is there another treatment?
In Arata kun's situation, because all conventional treatments have been exhausted,
it's not likely anything will be effective.
Let's pray that a suitable bone marrow donor can be found.
Arata...
Hold him. Hold him, please!
Why can't we help him now?
For a time like this, even though we did everything...
Scarey face.
Well sorry.
Done questioning?
It's over, so what? I'm busy today.
Well about Professor Sakiyama.
Is there any progress? Well, maybe.
Huh, what's going on? Hey now.
But we can't be talking about the investigation.
What, I am curious. Well if I come in.
Huh? Oh, this is Fukusuke.
It's Dobashi.
So, Professor Sakiyama regained consciousness?
Well, here. Huh?
Information. Isn't this how we always work?
If you want to know, tell me something about you.
Why are you doing this now... Because I'm interested in Yamahara san.
Or rather, someone who fertilizes eggs.
It's alright? Because I've told you about me.
I'm not married. Have no children.
I like my job, that's all. Is that good?
What do you like about your job?
When they don't come together naturally,
when the sperm meets the ovum, it becomes an egg.
Maybe it's witnessing that moment.
The moment life is created?
So does it feel like you are a god?
What do you mean? I want to know.
Is there such a feeling like that?
If you substitute the nucleus of an egg,
to make a baby to save the life of a sick child,
Such like that... you can change the future of a person,
what do you think?
Why do you ask? To know how how the criminal feels.
The motive for someone to push Professor Sakiyama,
I somehow think it's related to such a feeling
that comes from creating new life.
It's the opposite. Huh?
I don't think we are God, doing this job.
Even though we can preserve old eggs,
no matter how much we advance the technology,
in the end, whether we can make children or not,
There's things we cannot do with our hands.
I became an embryo culture worker
because I wanted to change fate. But...
Yamahara san?
Excuse me. Sorry but, can you come another time?
There's something strange, with her.
When Professor Sakiyama took his tumble, it seems she has an alibi, but.
Phew, I was thinking you would say something.
Keeping this a secret, either way is impossible.
It'll be OK. That pregnant detective still doesn't
have anything concrete.
But it seems that Sakiyama Sensei has opened his eyes.
Yamahara san, I need a little favor.
We have to make sure Sakiyama Sensei keeps his mouth shut.
Are you OK? Starts moving every now and then.
Would have been good for you to go to the exam.
Oh, but, it's only a little longer.
The reason Professor Sakiyama was thrown off,
and the reason Nozomi was taken, if we know the relation,
it'll put us near the suspect.
What is this talk? Something about the baby...
Chikamori san. Oh, you are here.
Hayamizu, what are you doing!?
I told you to stay at the station.
The baby... is still alive?
Well, that you were still searching the river, thats...
a lie? That information is not certain yet.
So what I've been hearing is a lie!? Chikamori san.
Well I can't believe any of you.
We'll find that child ourselves.
It'll be OK.
The medicine will work, you'll be better soon.
What's wrong?
She's alive... What?
The baby's still alive.
What are you saying? The police lied to us.
The baby... is alive.
Is alive....
We can't trust the police. We'll find her ourselves.
Yuko.
Wait, Sensei, wait.
There is one. Huh?
There is a donor.
The HLA type, and everything else is a perfect match.
You can get such a child here?
How long do we have?
Considering preparation for the transplant, no more than 2 days would be advisable.
Two days....
The donor, is that baby?
No way, you promised only the umbilical cord blood.
There's no time...!
I'll wait.
Talking about the investigation at that place,
was extremely careless. I'm really sorry.
Dobashi did nothing wrong. It was me talking,
in the first place, it was me that snuck off.
So you are taking responsibility. But I learned something.
Why Nozomi is so special.
If you're talking about she was conceived for her brother,
we already understand that.
You have 2 days to find the baby.
Nozomi is still alive, right? Where's the investigation right now?
Any clues? You have anything?
Well then... I'll go to the media.
The more information we have, the sooner she'll be found.
Please. Arata only has two more days!
Two days?
Arata, doesn't have normal leukemia.
It's Acute promyelocytic leukemia.
With this illness, the same treatments can't be repeated.
To save Arata, something new is necessary!
That is... Nozomi.
When Nozomi was born, the blood from the placenta was saved.
Umbilical cord blood.
So when the next new thing came up with Arata, we thought we could use that.
But... the hematopoietic stem cells are not enough.
Therefore nothing is left but a bone marrow transplant.
If in two days Nozomi is not found, it'll be to late for the transplant.
I am asking for all information... to get Nozomi back.
It's regrettable, but we can't do that.
Why is that?
With a kidnapping, the hostage's safety is maximum priority.
An open criminal investigation may drive the suspect into a corner,
and endanger the life of the hostage.
Before you do that, shouldn't you be helping. That much you can do!
If Nozomi isn't returned, Arata can't be saved!
We here have to protect the life of your daughter.
It's regrettable about your son, but we can't do as you wish.
You have children?
You don't do you.
I thought you might understand me.
But I am a mother!
To help my child, I will do anything!
You understand don't you?
To save your child, you'd do anything right!?
I'm an investigator.
I am here to help Nozomi chan.
And... to call me a mother,
I'm not yet a mother.
As the commissioner says,
I'm giving priority to keeping Nozomi chan safe.
Then I won't ask you.
Follow her. So she doesn't do anything unnecessary. Yes.
You go back to the station, and write an explanation.
Also, I want a report of what you learned today.
Hey... Commissioner.
It was irresponsible for me to investigate on my own. I am sorry.
Hurry it with the report.
Protamine
A melody instead of a flower bouquet.
This voice in place of a hug.
Give me the cell.
Who are you calling?
What was the name of the TV producer the other day?
Oh... sorry.
Finally there letting you go.
Oh, we're they OK?
Well... I'm going back to the station.
Please wait a minute!
Professor Sakiyama was looking into this, it seems.
Restriction Enzymes?
I heard it's used to cut up DNA. Why do that?
To rewrite genes. Rewrite?
Edit genomes.
Edit genomes?
Ultimate gene manipulation.
Wouldn't it be cool if they did this with Nozomi?
Sakiyama Sensei, giving you your medicine.
It's OK. There's also painkiller.
