7101.
If you had been one point short, you would have failed.
I expect you to work hard until the next test.
My way.
There should still be...
My way.
I knew I would hear from you.
Good that I didn't leave New York.
Of course.
I haven't gotten Pinocco back yet.
She's safe, trust me.
You don't have a choice.
Have a seat, please.
I will certainly return her.
I'm not so stupid as to make you my enemy.
In fact, I've been working with you to become my partner.
Then and now.
Under no circumstances will I ever be a partner with someone who runs experiments on living people.
I found this in the pituitary gland.
It's a new virus.
Virus.
It's very possible that this virus is the cause of Moira.
Virus. We couldn't find it, no matter what tests we ran.
It was in a subtle place, which was inside of the outer wall of an axon in the pituitary gland.
If it wasn't for coincidence, it would have been difficult to find it.
Where is this virus coming from?
Tell me everything you've been hiding from me.
To a wonderful discovery!
What is Endorph R?
It's a new drug that I used all my strength to develop.
A drug.
Please have some, doctor. It's not fun to drink by myself.
Endorph R.
Right, it's a new drug that can create super-humans...
...by accelerating the secretion of the hormone endorphin to the brain.
This is an undiluted solution that has ten times the concentration.
It was five years ago that my project created the drug for the first time.
And in the Olympics two years ago, we had a wonderful result. Everything was going well.
Are you telling me they were monitors for the new drug?
Right. We chose ordinary people very carefully to make contracts...
...offering large sums of money and assurance, so that we could easily tell the results of the drug.
How many people did you have contracts with?
At first, it was only twenty people, but the story about the new drug spread...
...since it was a dream drug that could pass any kind of severe drug tests.
And at last there were 153 people who had a contract with us.
Don't be absurd! Didn't you tell me that 1,230 people are on the patient list?
Right. That's why we panicked.
The new dream drug had the side effect of progressive organ imperfection...
...and moreover, it had already started an infection through an unknown route.
The virus existed. This disease can infect!
This is no dream drug, but a death drug!
You don't care if people die as long as you pay them money to take the drug?
What about the possibility for people who died of infection without knowing what was going on?
How do you plan on begging their forgiveness?
Jo Carroll Brane! You're the one causing this problem!
It's still, still possible.
If we make the virus harmless and control this side-effect, Endorph R. can be a perfect, new super drug.
What?
BlackJack, BlackJack!
Your destiny is to fight against Moira with me until the last minute.
I wonder who gets sick first.
I put Endorph R's undiluted solution into our memorable wine.
MSJ, Medical Soldiers for Justice.
Brane Medicine was prosecuted by MSJ at 10 AM this morning.
In concert with this, Ministries of Health and Welfare in many countries...
...and a special investigation committee in the WHT began investigating.
These are the people who were rescued by MSJ.
I haven't been informed of anything!
Are you saying there is proof of a connection between Moira Syndrome and my company?
If there is, the director for that new medicine project is responsible for all of this.
Doctor. I heard that you aren't feeling well.
I've got a little fever.
Is it a cold?
Its exhaustion, probably.
He's an inside witness.
He used to be a member of the new drug project. He was the first assistant to Jo Carroll at the beginning.
He came forward with the condition of having his punishment reduced.
It all started six years ago...
...with the Sebia Cross Rally.
A driver whose name was Michael Gene participated in this twenty-day rally in the desert.
However, Michael lost the route and he became missing.
It was two weeks later when he was rescued.
The navigator with him was already dead, and it was a miracle return.
However, the real miracle happened after that.
Michael participated in F-1 and showed incredible driving.
Ten wins out of sixteen World Championships.
It was Joe Carroll who paid attention to Michael, said to be a second-rate driver merely a year ago.
She made contact with Michael Gene and examined him very closely.
As a result, she found out that a large amount of endorphins were being secreted as he was driving.
The amount of endorphins was about ten times that of normal humans.
Along with this endorphin, we also found something else.
We presumed that it was either mold...
...or some kind of bacteria.
We inspected the Sebia desert...
...the Rally route, and the area where he was wandering.
And we found the sand that contained it in the far part of the Sebia desert.
Our team collected the sand and succeeded in getting it out of the sand.
It was refined and we extracted the essence.
This is how the trial drug Endorph R was created.
Do you know how many people died from this trial drug?
We didn't know.
We didn't know that a virus existed in it!
Wow! Jo, you've finally come!
Yes, I had to.
Hello, how are you, Miss?
You look good, Fendy.
Wow, beautiful!
Doctor, please don't overwork.
I don't mind being patient...
...but I hope I can see you soon.
Has she gone to sleep?
Yes.
Miss.
What?
The Chairman has given an order to all the employees.
Oh.
I really appreciate it, Fendy. You've been really good to me.
It's been ten years since I started serving you.
I promise that I'll bring the girl back to Doctor BlackJack safely.
He told me to eliminate all the evidence.
Please understand, Fendy.
I still have things to do.
Is Fendy working today?
Yes, she is.
Did she have any messages for me?
Don't eat or drink too much, and no late-night TV.
I'm always told that.
I will tell you these things from now on.
What?
0880-258-7101.
The number is either offline or out of the service area.
Please wait and try again.
We've been trying hard, but we still haven't found where they are.
Right now, my temperature is 101.7 F.
Well, then, we're heading to the airport.
Okay.
I should think that this is obviously Endorph R's effect.
If so, Jo Carroll should be a lot more affected by it than me, since she drank quite a bit of it.
I'm ready!
Wow, what a pretty dress!
You're pretty too, Jo. Like a supermodel.
Thank you.
Well then, let's go to the cruise dinner!
It's already started! Hurry, hurry!
Jo!
Flight 63 to Sebia is on time.
Doctor, this is the record that you were looking for.
It was among the discarded documents from the research center.
Infected patients tracking report.
Case on Lisa Seagil:
She started to see a doctor at Parker Hospital regularly in 1990 due to the hemolytic anemia.
Started blood transfusion treatment at the same hospital in 1992.
In 1994, we mixed Endorph R monitor blood into transfusion blood by order.
By order?
In 1996, Lisa Seagil suffered from multi-organ failure syndrome.
It proved that it was highly possible that it was caused by blood infection.
She died in 1998.
Doctors involved: Michael Salon, John Richardson, Judy Austin, Ralph Geiss...
...and the other is an unlicensed doctor Hazama Kuroo, known as "BlackJack."
As for this doctor, please ask Jo Carroll, who is the director of this research project, if you have any questions.
We'll probably get there at night.
It's not like I know everything, but Sebia is my second hometown.
My mother is American, but my father is Sebian.
The town we just passed was Tanje, the last village around here.
From here on it's a population-zero area, and its a land for desert people.
Desert people.
Right. They are the minority and never mixed with civilization.
There are very few people who really get to see them.
Villagers call them "desert gods from long ago."
I see. They built the factory to look like an oil refinery factory so that they could camouflage the medicine factory.
I can't believe they built this huge thing in the middle of the desert.
Doctor, what's the matter?
This way.
Pinocco!
Doctor!
Pinocco.
Yes?
Where is Jo Carroll?
Something--
Something is very wrong with Jo!
You can't do that, Jo. You should be in bed.
You have a very high fever.
Thank you, Pinocco, but I have to keep working.
I don't have much time left.
You created this disease. Experience it thoroughly.
I thought you would come here.
Let's begin together!
First we'll establish how to treat the Moira!
Then we'll perfect the drug and complete the perfect new drug, Neo-Endorph R!
Keep back!
You want to be infected by Moira by making contact with this blood?
What?
Please take care of Pinocco. Go someplace safe and wait for my contact.
But you could get infected.
I'm already infected.
Go! We can't have any more victims!
How foolish.
Aren't they afraid of Moira?
As may be expected of Brane Medicine, this clinic has everything. Medicine and equipment.
It's possible to research and develop new drugs here.
I'll open your pituitary gland right away and take out the virus.
If I were you, I'd never do it.
But there is something I would like you to tell me.
Who ordered to mix the monitor blood with Lisa Seagil's transfusion blood? Was that you?
Right. I did.
Why?
If my answer upsets you, will you mess up the operation and leave me a vegetable?
I might.
I was confident, full of hope.
At that time I came to know a girl named Lisa Seagil who came regularly to Parker Hospital...
...which was directly operated by Brane Medicine.
I was very confident in this new medicine, Endorph R.
No monitors had shown any side effects, and the medicine brought out wonderful talents in people.
So when I saw Lisa Seagil...
...I sensed immediately that she was the one who should move toward the 21st century as a super-human.
Blue eyes, brown hair, it was like I was watching myself when I was twelve years old.
I thought I may have been able to take something back.
If I could make her happy as a super-human, then I would be happy too.
To me, it was a human experiment where you chose Lisa by accident and ignored her will!
What makes you do these things?
Everyone asks me that.
What do you want to take back?
Doctor.
We'll start the operation.
Yes!
That was my first experience.
There must have been an unbelievable amount of brain's natural opiate, endorphins, being secreted.
Strange concentration was striking me.
It first showed up with my sight.
If I wanted, I could see nervous tissue cells or blood cells in the small blood vessels in the brain.
I was a super-human, by no mistake.
It's hot!
My body is hot! I feel like I'm on fire!
Hot!
Heartbeat and EEG are going back to normal.
It's a success, Doctor!
Wow, this is great! It took only 27 minutes to work on this big operation!
Doctor!
What's wrong?

Hey, Doctor? Where's the Doctor?

Why don't you just leave me?
You'll be in danger too.

You're my patient.

Please go northwest.
There is something I would like to show you.
It will be around after that hill.
Let me down.
This is the sand that created Endorph R.
We refined this shining sand and made medicine out of it.
The strongest theory among the staff was that this is some sort of mold living in the sand or a new kind of moss.
But I have a different hypothesis.
This is not something which lives here, but is carried here by the wind.
Are you saying that this is a pollen or a spore?
If we go up this shining road, there will be a big flower garden, and--
Around here, the wind direction is very complicated so I haven't found it yet...
...but I will definitely find it someday!
Mission accomplished.
Please believe me...
...that my hope for Endorph R was not just for the company's benefit.
I really thought that new capabilities will be needed by human beings in the future.
I've had enough of humans that only believe in rationalism and the value of science and technology.
You're right.
You agreed with me for the first time.
But what you did was foolish.
That was my limit.
I tried so hard. I couldn't help it.
My real name is number 7101, and I was one of the artificially inseminated children...
...that were created in Chairman Brane's Research Center.
There were about thirty children who were created with carefully selected sperm and ovum.
However, Brane would adopt only one child as his own.
The selection was held in a very severe environment, it was like a prison.
Thirty kids became twenty, twenty became ten... After five years, only five of us were left.
My friends disappeared suddenly, without saying good-bye.
I thought they may have been killed.
I spent my childhood with that kind of fear.
My mind was getting hard.
I only thought about winning the competition with my friends.
And at last, my mind became as cold and hard as ice.
Although I won the competition and became Brane's daughter...
...and was given a comfortable life and a good education...
...the ice block in my mind never melted.
I was always cold...
It's probably my stomach bleeding.
About 50ccs a minute. A late symptom of the Moira Syndrome.
My range of sight is getting narrow, and it seems like my cardiac muscle is having a convulsion.
Death?
My heartbeat is weak.
Dying?
I should only think about what I have to do now before I lose consciousness.
For whom? Who?
BlackJack, for you.
Me?
What is this?
Fulgeom.
Fulgeom?
This is the desert flower Fulgeom that was found in far Sebia.
Moira syndrom was caused by a virus that is contained in the Fulgeom.
But this Fulgeom had an antibody since it has lived with the virus for such a long time.
So it has been proven that by extracting the essence from the Fulgeom stem...
...and giving the patient the resulting medication, it is possible to cure Moira.
It was the desert people who taught us.
For thousands of years, they have known the poison that is Fulgeom's pollen, and it's treatment.
However, they said the Fulgeom's poison has been rapidly increasing in the last ten years.
Their motherland desert is rapidly getting sick.
Is it only the desert that is sick?
If there exists a second or third Moira Syndrome...
No, I probably should say that we should think it has already appeared somewhere!
Hey, Betty, look.
Sorry, we're getting off here.
Doctor!
Doctor BlackJack!
Doctor, have you given thought to what I asked the other day?
What was that?
I asked you to become an official member of MSJ, or at least an advisor.
Do you remember that, Pinocco?
No, I don't think so.
Please don't pretend that you don't remember.
Sorry, but my patient is waiting for me.
Doctor!
Doctor, please!
Don't you think people have different ways of dealing with their work?
Doctor!
Well, then.
Well then, see ya!
