In recent years, the number of vicious crimes was increasing rapidly.
In order to arrest the criminals and solve the cases, the police's scientific research center,
Forensic Investigation Office Section Nine, has begun investigating cases using MRI.
The image produced by the extracted brain of the victim not only shows the suspect,
but also the victim's entire memory.

and contorted as if I was in sorrow.
It's dangerous here! Don't get too close!
There! On the right!
What about the President?!
It's too late...
And now, a news report on a tragic fire accident.
An outbreak of fire occurred at the home of wealthy airline company president, Ogishima Shigura, aged 71.
Ogishima died en route to the hospital.
The cause of the fire is believed to be due to carelessness; a lit cigar that was not properly extinguished.
President Ogishima gained his wealth by incorporating IT into his business.
In the past, he was the height of gossip for his scandal with a TV celebrity,
but in recent years, the President was said to be only interested in his business.
His estate is estimated to be worth several trillion yen.
Huh?!
Several trillion yen?!
What? What's going on?
You still here?
I told you to leave by morning.
Get lost.
What's up with you? You're the one who asked me to stay a little longer!
I said, just-get-lost!
What the hell, hag!
Oh yeah?! Well, I'm sorry I'm a hag!
Now get lost!
You were the one who asked me out! What kind of attitude is that?!
I'm never coming here again!
Good, don't ever come here again!
Mom,
did you come home with a guy again?
So what?
I can bring whomever I want to my own home!
Don't talk smart to me.
You wanna go to high school, don't ya?
That's why I'm even working at night, ain't that right?
Honestly, if only we had money, we could stop living like this.
Director...
This current case, it was an accident, wasn't it?
No, we can't be sure of that.
When the firefighters found President Ogishima, his heart and lungs had already ceased working.
Though carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause of death, President Ogishima's face was slashed up by a sharp knife.
Although this has been kept from the media.
So this means it may have been a homicide?
That's why we're joining this investigation.
I'll leave you and Amachi in charge of the MRI.
Yes, sir.
Model airplanes...
It's the observer's room.
He's stroking it...
Huh?
Hey, Sendou!
Ah, it's back.
That's... his will...
Please enlarge it.
Sure.
Okina Jun?
That's not his family...
Even the address is written down clearly.
Eh, what?
It's gone again.
Onogida-san.
There's nothing wrong with the system.
Looks like this man had moments of memory loss.
Moments of memory loss?
There're no noticeable tumors or anything, but his brainwaves are irregular.
He might have suffered from slight dementia.
For now, shall we continue looking at the rest?
Sure.
Please start.
Okay.
That's the will again.
Huh? He's hidden it?
His medicine...
I wonder if they are sleeping pills...
A will and sleeping pills...
Was he thinking of committing suicide?
We don't know yet.
He left it lit.
Looks like his medicine has started to work. He's lying down.
That's his last image.
We can't tell what happened when he died with this.
Well, yeah, not with his eyes closed. His brain fell asleep after this.
Shall we take a look at the images before these?
Sure.
That day, President Ogishima did not go to his office, instead he shut himself in his room all day.
However, we do know he had breakfast with his family.
He's not eating...
Yes...
I can't read their lips like this.
Huh?
W-What's this? It's not possible... This observer...
He can't "see" people's faces?!
Aoki-san?!
"Father, there's something I want you to buy...
...for me."
Do you want to look at some images prior to this?
Please.
Why couldn't he see them?
He must have really hated people.
We're investigating the cause right now.
We've also been investigating his circle of acquaintances through his executives and employees,
but it seems like he was an eccentric person who hardly socialized.
Well, as the president of a company, not being able to see people's faces,
might've been a good enough reason to commit suicide.
Anyway, the cuts on his face still remain a mystery.
Section Nine?
You want us to tell you about him? Even we don't know why our father ended up like that...
Has President Ogishima said anything recently that hinted his intention to commit suicide?
Yes... Now and then, he mentioned that he wanted to die.
Masatoshi! I never heard anything like that!
That man would never kill himself.
It was just his own carelessness.
We've got nothing to tell you.
I was against MRI, but you forced your way...
Mother... I'm sorry, she'll calm down in a minute.
We've just lost our father and we're all a bit confused.
We sympathize with your feelings.
There's inconsistency between the family members.
A person who's really thinking of dying, won't say he or she wants to.
Then the son lied about what he said?
Hi there.
I'm with the police.
And this girl is?
Okina Jun, the girl who was mentioned in his will. She'll be the heir.
Her mother works in a bar and she has no father.
His will states that everything will be passed to this girl.
I wonder how she's linked to President Ogishima.
An illegitimate child, maybe?
Of course, we're investigating that too.
However, the will itself was lost in the fire.
In that case, this girl's lost her right to inherit?
They're currently discussing in court whether this will, discovered during MRI, is valid or not.
So it might not be accepted?
Yes. Furthermore, apparently she's never met the president.
Soga, how did it go with the driver?
Well, he didn't seem to think too highly of the president...
That man never treated me like a human being.
The wage was low and he couldn't even remember my face or name.
Also, it seems the president frequently took solitary walks when he had time off.
I've got an approximate location of where he went.
Send me the data.
Yes, sir. One more thing, there was friction between him and his son over the running of the company.
I also heard a rumor that the president wasn't intending to leave his estate to his family.
I don't know anything about the estate...
I don't know him and I think it must be some kind of mistake.
What're you saying? You could inherit his entire estate!
Ah, well, Madam...
Hey detective, why don't you come over to my bar tonight?
Erm, no, I couldn't...
Jun-kun, just for formality, we'd like you to confirm what's written in his will. Could you come with us?
Oh, come on...
...I'd like to talk to you about this, detective...
Is that okay?
President Ogishima Shigeru had accumulated enormous wealth...
He worked hard and cut down on his sleep...
But nobody was looking at him...
and he couldn't see the faces of people either...
As I thought... I don't know either of them.
I see...
And now a news report regarding the death of a wealthy man.
The existence of a will, discovered by MRI,
was passed as effective by Tokyo District Court, and considered to be the last words of Mr. Ogishima before his death.
In this case, the heir will be an ordinary person who's not related to Mr. Ogishima.
Transfer of the estate will take place the day after tomorrow.
The family of the deceased are appealing this exceptionally swift decision by the court.
They claim that the will is invalid.
I can't believe this.
The will was destroyed in the fire, but because an image of the will was retained in the brain, it's considered to be valid?
So I just have to follow this line on the map?
I think it might help you remember something.
Is this going to be okay?
Don't worry.
Hmm?
That car...
Yeah...
The road's getting busy.
The black car's gone.
I'm going on ahead!
Maki-san!
W-What?!
That's President Ogishima's son.
He must have really hated your existence...
Shall we?
Wait!
This river...
According to his confession, that day, after Masatoshi found out that he wouldn't inherit the estate,
he crept into President Ogishima's room to search for the will, but he failed to find it.
In order to destroy everything by fire, he lit the cigar to make it seem like an accident.
For a long time, Masatoshi had been frustrated by what his father said and did.
So right after setting the fire, he cut up the president's face using his knife.
His greatest miscalculation was that MRI discovered the existence of the will and it was passed as valid.
[ Police Scientific Research Center - Forensic Research: Section Nine ]
And now, to see the last remaining truth, the MRI system is once again booted up.
You look inside the brain in here?
Is it really okay for us to come in?
We were given special permission.
Let's begin.
Yes, sir.
There's a memory from the 25th of April, nine years ago, that links strongly to his memory of writing his will.
The image is being produced.
That scenery...
President Ogishima saw this scenery just as you did.
That's me...
Sure is...
The face... He can see it?!
That's right. The old man... fixed it...
My airplane...
That smile of yours at that moment... It must have left a really strong impression on him.
"I'll be a flight attendant."
Yes.
The old man said, "Be a flight attendant, it'll be good." So...
Sure! I want to! I'll be a flight attendant!
I see, you will?
Good bye, Mister! Good bye! Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
That's the only memory the president had in relation to Jun.
This was the first and the last time the two of you met.
Yes, I moved away the day after that.
But why would he leave his estate to me?
Maybe because the only thing President Ogishima remembered was your smile...
Okabe-san.
Huh?
The driver was a witness.
I'm not leaving my estate to my sons.
Excuse me?
I'm not leaving them anything.
I want them to try using their own strength and stop relying on their father's power.
That's what the president quietly said, so...
That thought... It didn't get through to his sons...
Are you sure about the estate?
Yes.
I realized something.
To me, he left something much greater than his estate.
I see.
