I've already thrown everything away. To take revenge on every single person
who drove my father to his death.
I've been waiting for this day. The day I take revenge on you.
Because I promised that I'd protect you.
I let such a good person die.
15 years ago, I was asked by Arima and
performed a transplant surgery with an organ that was obtained through illegal channel
Bandai, who tried to leak that information to me,
was undoubtedly killed in order to seal his lips.
15 years ago, my father, who was a doctor,
was having problems with another certain doctor within the hospital.
To tell you the truth, I already had one transplant surgery in the past.
As a result, I have a condition that makes it harder to accept other people's organ.
There's only one reason Arima has his eyes on Minegishi Kenta.
The fact that Kenta's organ is suitable for his daughter.
We're finally facing our last foe.
I'd like to announce that I've been designated to head this Gastroenterology Surgery Department
concurrently with the Transplant Surgery Department.
I can imagine how uneasy you all are
after Professor Bandai passed away like that.
I'm sure the hospital will be the target of various speculations and defamation.
But that has nothing whatsoever do with the patients.
In fact, it's precisely at a time like this
that we must overcome the barrier between departments and unite.
Because we're here for the patients.
There's a patient at the Transplant Surgery Department,
a boy with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
That boy, Minegishi Kenta-kun, is
also afflicted with duodenal ulcer, and
has difficulty taking food by mouth.
For Kenta's disease, dobutamine, a cardiotonic drug, is his lifeline.
If the dosage is decreased, cardiac arrest can occur any time.
Could it be that Arima's intentionally steering him to death
so that he could transplant his kidney to his daughter?
That being said, I'm planning to perform a by-pass surgery as soon as possible.
All of you with the Gastroenterology Surgery Department,
for Kenta-kun's sake and in order to
regain the pride of us Seirin University doctors,
please help me out.
I feel as if my heart's been cleansed.
That's what you call a real doctor, don't you think?
- Please, have a seat. - Thank you.
Professor, is this...?
A university in Singapore
apparently built a specialty facility for transplants
and they invited me as a guest professor for 3 months.
That's very impressive.
I've been declining all this time because I've been so busy, but
right now, I should do my part for the hospital's sake, right?
- Yes. - Oh, that's right.
I called you over to ask for a favor.
It's in regards to Kenta-kun's surgery.
I'd like for you to be the primary surgeon.
- Are you sure you want me to do it? - Of course.
Nurturing the next generation is an important part of my job too.
I'll serve as your assistant and give you all the backup you need.
Asumi.
I'm sorry, but I listened to this.
It was in Professor Bandai's suit pocket.
15 years ago, my father, who was a doctor,
was having problems with another certain doctor within the hospital.
So does this mean you came to this hospital
to avenge your father who was killed?
15 years to take revenge, you said.
Are you nuts?
For me,
that was the only thing I could do.
The surgery is scheduled for 1 week from today.
You're doing well, Kenta-kun. There's nothing to worry about.
Surgery in 1 week.
Before worrying about others,
shouldn't you be making plans for your own future?
In 6 days,
your disciplinary dismissal should be approved at the professors' meeting.
After all, you're quite a shady character, you know.
April 22,
you secretly met with a woman who was trying to sue the hospital.
May 7, you snuck into the professor's office without permission.
June 3, you obstructed the treatment of Minegishi Kenta at the Transplant Surgery Department.
This child needs a heart transplant.
What are you trying to do to Kenta-kun?
Mizuno Asumi is a malicious doctor unsuitable for our hospital.
Do you have any objection?
What you're trying to do to Minegishi Kenta
is murder.
I'll stop Minegishi Kenta's surgery.
You can count on that.
Go ahead,
I dare you.
We will be closed for a while.
Hey, welcome home.
What happened to the restaurant?
Oh, it's just that
I'm having a bit of a problem with my stomach. It's not a big deal.
Doctor said I'll get better if I don't eat and just rest.
You should've told me.
Causing my daughter to worry
goes against my policy as a father.
Parents are here for their children.
For their children, huh?
But...
that doesn't mean they can do anything for their child's sake.
It's for her sake.
If we do it at the hospital in Singapore, we can use
the best facility and staff under the pretext of making it available for live surgery observation.
For her sake, it's best to perform the surgery there.
But why go all the way to a foreign country...
I don't want to put any more physical burden on Minami.
You don't have to worry about Suzu's physical condition.
I'm sorry, I...
Minegishi Kenta will have his surgery in a week.
We'll have to find evidence to prove Arima's crime before that.
But still, it's impossible to provide evidence for a crime that hasn't happened yet.
What if it's for a crime that's already happened?
More than likely, it was the day of the transplant
that Arima took the kidney from a patient.
In other words, the victim is sure to be among the patients
who died that day.
There may be a clue in the cause of that death.
All right. First of all,
I'll try to find out the date Arima Suzu had her surgery.
I'm going out for a bit, okay?
An interview?
I'm collecting the voice of people who had transplants in order to write an article about organ transplants.
In hopes that more people will become donors.
Sure, if I can be of help.
Thanks.
You said this is your second surgery, right?
- Yes. - When did you have your first surgery?
That was when I was 5, so
15 years ago on...
What was the date?
I'm sorry, I don't remember.
I see.
About the only thing I remember is that the cherry blossoms were really pretty.
If the cherry blossoms were in bloom, it must've been March or April.
While waiting for the surgery,
I saw black smoke rising on the other side of the window.
It looked like a bad omen.
I remember being scared.
I see.
Cherry blossom season→March~April

While waiting for the surgery,

Yui-chan?
The day of Arima Suzu's surgery 15 years ago
was the same day
my sister Yui died.
It's not just the date.
The day Yui died,
there was something that just bothered me.
According to Osanai Sensei, Yui's procedure
was supposed to be drainage that required only a small incision.
But her incision was clearly too big.
Sensei.
What was that incision on Yui's abdomen?
There was excessive bleeding so we opened the abdomen.
- What does that... - It was too late.
I'm sorry I was unable to save her.
I told my parents we should get an autopsy done and find out for sure.
But my parents opposed the idea.
"The doctor already told us what happened."
"Don't speak so carelessly," they said.
Looking back,
I should've insisted on an autopsy no matter what.
So Arima took the life of Yui-chan who had nothing to do with him.
But we don't have any evidence to turn him in yet.
How can you remain so calm?!
I'm sorry.
Of course you're not.
But still, even if we want to talk to the involved party,
we don't even know who took part in the surgery.
There's no proof
that Arima's daughter's kidney belonged to Yui.
DNA test.
That's impossible. How are you going to get DNA from a dead person?
Yui-chan had a grave liver disease.
- Yeah. - Did you ever consider liver transplant for her?
We did.
Although it never materialized.
Prior to organ transplant surgery, a biopsy is performed
by taking a sample of tissue from the organ of
the patient receiving the transplant.
At the University Hospital, the biopsy sample
is stored indefinitely as a rule.
That means Yui-chan's is too.
You're going to feel a little prick.
And for her upcoming transplant, Arima Suzu
should have had a sample taken of her kidney tissue.
The tissue from her kidney is stored in the freezer at the Transplant Surgery Department.
If that DNA
and the DNA from Yui-chan's biopsy sample match,
we can prove without a doubt that
Arima Suzu's kidney was transplanted from Yui-chan.
Looks like you found the answer.
Trying to perform DNA testing from my daughter's biopsy sample is,
I must admit, good thinking on your part.
However, it's time to stop the game.
You don't stand a chance anymore,
nor do you have anyone to rely on.
I have a question.
Don't you
feel any sense of guilt?
What have I done to feel guilty about?
In any case, Kenta-kun can't live very long.
But if we do the transplant,
his kidney can continue to live inside my daughter's body.
Rather than dying needlessly, won't that make Kenta-kun happier?
- What? - If you were sick,
I'm sure even your father
- would've done the same thing. - There's no way he would.
You should try asking all the parents around the world.
If your own child and a stranger's child
were in a sea of raging fire and
if you can only save one or the other,
who will you save?
Even the most saintly person is certain to give you this answer.
Even if the stranger's child was within immediate reach,
they'll save their own child.
You're insane.
You're the one who's off.
I
just love my daughter.
I overheard you guys earlier today.
You've been defying Professor Arima too, huh?
How reckless can you be?
You heard what Professor Arima said.
You don't stand a chance.
But still, you acted rashly.
I can't believe you actually got rid of him.
"The Cursed University Hospital!!"
Needless to say, you'll have to cooperate with me all the way.
But still, you acted rashly. I can't believe you actually got rid of him.
"Cause of death is muscle relaxant succinylcholine"
Now I'm forced to perform the surgery abroad.
Needless to say, you'll have to cooperate with me all the way.
It's easy.
During the surgery, when the primary surgeon isn't looking,
I'll leave a nick on the intestinal tract.
The patient will develop peritonitis and he'll die shortly after.
Fortunately, this patient doesn't have any family.
We should be able to proceed with the autopsy without delay.
After that is where you come in.
I'd like for you to
remove the kidney and safeguard the organ until we leave for Singapore.
Don't worry.
Only the primary surgeon who failed will be held accountable.
Besides,
you don't have the right to refuse.
- Come in. - Excuse me.
Professor Arima, do you have time right now?
What is it?
Did you really see Mizuno Sensei at the Transplant Surgery Department lab?
Yes. For some reason, she kept on trying to unlock the freezer door.
I thought it was strange.
You're wasting your time coming here.
- Yes? - It's me.
You don't stand a chance.
Without my help.
You don't stand a chance.
Without my help.
I overhead everything.
Professor Arima...how can he say all those crazy things.
He seriously ticked me off.
I'm sorry, Asumi.
I had no idea
and said all those terrible things to you.
Is there anything I can do?
I'm sorry for putting you in a dangerous situation.
It was surprisingly easy.
Truthfully, though, I was a little nervous.
Thank you.
You know,
I still can't
understand you, Asumi.
How you can be so obsessed with revenge,
how you can get innocent people involved,
how you threw all kinds of things away.
But
the pain of losing your father,
I can understand.
For me too,
my family is the most important thing.
If you need anything, just let me know.
Okay.
The specimen of Yui-chan's liver tissue and
Arima Suzu's kidney tissue will be placed in their respective containers.
A reagent will be infused by using pipette to remove impurities.
Place that in a centrifuge and after
amplifying as necessary using
a machine called PCR, fragment them.
Place that in an electrophoresis chamber and connect it to a power source.
When the electric current is applied, different sized DNAs
form distinct bands.
8 more hours.
The banding patterns are unique to each person, and if they match,
it can prove that Arima Suzu's kidney belonged to Yui-chan.
Mizuno Asumi.
We'll get the DNA test results tomorrow, right?
That's right. But what's up?
Shall we celebrate in advance?
We'll finally find out tomorrow.
If their DNA match,
I'm going to walk into the professors' meeting
and disclose it in front of all the professors.
Then Minegishi Kenta's surgery will be canceled.
I'll be able to protect his life.
You've changed.
It's like you've become more like a doctor.
Before, you wouldn't have done something tedious like
search for evidence and turn them in, right?
Don't you feel you've changed yourself?
I'm not sure.
I only got my medical license
in order to get myself into this hospital.
When this is all over, I think I'll quit medical practice.
That would be a shame.
I think you're suited for it.
But anyway, you should take a break for a while.
Isn't there anywhere you want to go?
- Oxford. - In England?
My father went there on a trip
and he said that's where he ran across
Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland."
A place that holds memories for Osanai Sensei, huh?
That might not be a bad idea.
Anyway,
when all this is over,
Asumi-chan, you're going to find your own happiness.
What about you?
What are you going to do when this is over?
Nothing in particular.
Life will go on as usual for me.
4 more hours to go.
- The operating room's ready. - What happened?
Kenta-kun's condition took a sudden turn. We're taking him in for emergency surgery.
The operating room is ready. Please take him in.
- Are you all right? Can you hear me, Kenta-kun? - Please wait.
- Please cancel this surgery. - What?
Professor Arima's planning to kill this patient.
What kind of nonsense are you spouting? He's Professor Arima's precious patient!
Stay out of the way! Kenta-kun, are you all right?
Can you hear me, Kenta-kun? Kenta-kun, you're going to be okay.
- Kenta-kun, you'll be just fine. - Don't worry.
We moved Kenta-kun to another operating room.
Who gave you permission to be here?
What happened to the other folks?
A little while ago, the staff
- was told everything. - Everything?
The fact that 15 years ago, you robbed a kidney from an innocent girl
and transplanted it in your own daughter.
And
the fact that you're again trying to rob a kidney from
the innocent Minegishi Kenta-kun for your own selfish reason.
Do you have any proof?
This is the proof.
The DNA from the kidney of your daughter, Arima Suzu-san,
and the DNA of Nishikado Yui-san who died 15 years ago
matched.
You can't
escape anymore.
You've done well until now. I commend you.
But all that effort was for naught.
You
will soon be sought as a murder suspect.
The script goes like this. Because your father died during surgery 15 years ago,
you bore an unjustified resentment towards the hospital.
You changed your name to Mizuno and got a job at the hospital
to take revenge.
You set up traps for Date and Chihara who were the surgeons at that time,
and drove them out of the hospital. Not satisfied with just that,
you killed Attorney Hyuga, who exposed your father's crime of stealing and selling drugs,
with your own hands.
Furthermore,
you went on to kill Professor Bandai, who was responsible for the surgery,
with poison.
Who's going to believe
a fabrication like that?
I don't know.
But
the fact that you bear an unjustified resentment about your father
gives you the motive.
Oh, that's right.
Besides,
conclusive evidence
will soon be found.
Evidence?
Earlier, I had asked a medical staff
to check out Mizuno Asumi's desk.
Potassium chloride, the drug that probably killed Hyuga,
succinylcholine that killed Bandai. These two drugs
should be found in your desk soon.
With that,
the motive for the murders and the evidence are completely in place.
Publicly, you'll become the suspect for the serial murder case.
Even if you were to desperately plead your case
with the results of that DNA test,
no one will listen to you anymore.
The child of a criminal
will end up being a criminal.
Criminal?
You killed Nishikado Yui-chan
and killed my father too. You're the criminal.
Don't be ridiculous.
Date and Chihara performed the surgery on Osanai.
Bandai gave him the catecholamine.
All I did was stir up
their vanity and greed a little.
I'm sorry, but
we're on a bit of a different level.
Looks like it's game over.
There's just one thing
I forgot to tell you.
What you just said, Professor...
from that camera there via the hospital's intranet,
the whole thing is being displayed on all the monitors in the hospital.
You were the one
who was clueless.
Who do you think you are!
All your scheming was for naught.
As you can see, everyone in this hospital are witnesses.
Looks like it's game over.
I won't forget about you.
Mizuno! Minegishi Kenta's surgery in Operating Room No. 3.
I need you to assist me.
But if it's something I believe I should do,
I'll stick to it, no matter what. It's not just for the patient.
It's for myself too.
I'll be right there.
I got the results of the DNA test.
Yui-chan's kidney was
robbed by Arima, as we suspected.
I'm going in for Minegishi Kenta's surgery right away.
I want to protect Kenta-kun's life with my own hands.
Can I leave Arima in your hands?
Of course. Good luck.
You just wait,
Yui.
Scalpel.
Okay. Hooked forceps. Electric scalpel.
Hooked forceps. Muscle hook.
- Okay. - Get me autosutures. 45 mm.
Autosutures going back.
Say, Dad.
Why are we leaving for Singapore so suddenly?
You don't need to worry about anything.
I'd like to continue the interview we started the other day. Where are you now? Reporter Nishikado
Good job.
- Hello? - The surgery was a success.
What about Arima?
Don't worry. I know where he is. I won't let him get away.
I'm glad to hear that.
The revenge will finally come to an end.
How should I say...
for all your help,
- thank... - I
have to apologize to you.
I'm
about to betray you.
Where are you now?
Kanto International Airport.
Airport? Why?
I...
just can't forgive Arima
for killing my sister.
Just wait here. I'll go check in.
Kanto International Airport, please.
Hurry, please.
Suzu...Haruko!
