A..damas.
Do you know the meaning of "adamas"?
It's Greek.
For...
Unconquerable.
Indestructible.
I see you have a medical license.
Episode 3 The Headhunter's True Face "Lily of the Valley"
Why are you interested in working here?
I want to try work outside of the medical field.
Sherlock: Buy Lao cilantro.
What a pain!
I'm back...What's this awful smell?
I'm creating a new blend of essential oils.
Wrong.
Huh?
This is cilantro. I asked for Lao cilantro.
Isn't Lao cilantro just cilantro's full name?
No. I already used the oils from regular cilantro.
So this is worthless. Hurry up and exchange it!
What do you mean by uses?
Essential oils have various applications.
Cilantro removes odors. Lao cilantro is a sedative.
Ylang ylang is an aphrodisiac.
Aphrodisiac?
Its main element is benzyl acetate, an aphrodisiac.
It attracts male bees and it's used in Chanel No.5.
Male bees...
You have a client. May she come in?
My horse riding friend's daughter.
Sure.
Mrs. Hatano, you ride?
I just started.
It burns 500 calories an hour.
Wow. Even though the horse is the one exercising.
Come on in.
How's your job hunt?
I'm going to work part-time at a library for now.
I can't freeload here forever.
Sure you can. Sherlock loves having you here, right?
No, I don't.
Hello.
My name is Reiko Haitani.
I worked as a pharmaceutical research scientist.
I didn't have any complaints.
But a recruiter approached me with a new job offer.
The company?
Mawson Pharmaceutical.
Wow! So well-known. Did you accept?
Yes.
She asked me to wait a month.
And said I'd get a signing bonus.
The next day, one million yen was put in my account.
Convinced, I gave her my resume and research papers.
But you haven't heard back.
I tried emailing and calling.
I already quit my job...
Was she really a head hunter?
I was worried, but I found her in a magazine.
"Head Hunter Arisa Shiina." Impressive.
My paper has already been published in an overseas journal along with some unpublished data.
But I'm worried about my unpublished research data.
It's strange.
Did your old employer want you out?
Or is a rival company trying to block a new product?
Why don't you go ask her yourself?
This was taken in her apartment.
The key is Zojoji Temple, close to Tokyo Tower.
You can see a 12-story building from above.
Follow a line from Tokyo Tower toward the temple.
And look for an apartment over 13 stories high.
That'll be where she lives.
Sorry to stop by unannounced.
I'm Reiko Haitani.
Yes, that's my older sister.
You don't look alike at all. You're...
Stop.
Where's your sister?
I'm not sure.
She travels all over.
She never tells me where.
Ms. Haitani wants your sister to return her papers.
Can you reach her?
I'll try calling, but she may not pick up.
Why not?
She gets irritated talking to me.
You can search her room if you'd like.
This way.
Here it is.
What a beautiful room.
I'm jealous.
My sister pays the rent.
I couldn't afford a place like this myself.
This plate is so pretty.
It looks expensive.
Ah...!
I accidentally broke one while cleaning once.
She punished me by keeping me awake for four days.
Four whole days?!
That's torture...
You don't get along with your sister?
We were close as kids.
But things happened.
Now she's like another person.
Excuse me.
Ah, it's my sister.
What?
Where are you?
New York.
Do you have any idea what time it is?
Oh, sorry...
Someone's here to see you.
She wants her research papers back...
It's me, Haitani.
Ms. Haitani! I'm sorry!
I've been meaning to call.
I had an urgent issue in New York.
And the job?
I'm sorry, I can't explain this urgent issue,
but I'll finish up the contract after I get back.
Actually, I've changed my mind.
I've done some serious thinking over the last month.
It's not the right fit. I want to work on my terms.
I'm sorry.
I see.
I'm certainly sorry to hear that.
Yuma!
Yes?
Give Ms. Haitani her papers. They're in the cabinet.
Is this it?
Yes, these are mine.
Without a doubt.
Thanks.
Thank you so much.
I feel much better about everything now.
We're glad we could help.
Right?
What is it?
Did you write that number?
No, it wasn't me.
21-digit numbers are given to individual accounts.
Why is someone else's number here?
Maybe it's a serial number.
You called that woman?
Yes.
This case is too complicated for us to solve.
But we haven't even started to investigate.
What if we investigate first and miss the truth?
What? But investigating is our job!
Hello!
Shibata, fill them in.
Mawson's chief researcher, Dr. Hiroshi Watanuki.
Famous for his psychopharmacology work.
Went missing three days ago.
The same company that wanted Ms. Haitani.
Yes.
How is he?
He doesn't know his own name. Has no idea who he is.
I want to hear what you think about this.
His neocortex is damaged. Frontal lobe destroyed.
Hands and feet were bound.
Burns on his head.
He was tortured using electric shocks.
Tortured?!
Mawson Pharmaceutical
Dr. Sanada has been assisting Dr. Watanuki.
Was Dr. Watanuki involved in any trouble recently?
Not that I know of.
His research area?
He was interested in tranquilizer side effects.
Is that all?
What do you mean?
Dr. Watanuki had information.
He was tortured because he had lots of information.
So he made a new drug or had a top-secret project...
I'm just an assistant. I don't know all the details.
Excuse me.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Wait!
Why is this a different color from the others?
Is it special?
Only research fellows have yellow straps.
Research fellows have greater security clearance to all labs.
They have different access to information.
How difficult is it to become a research fellow?
You must be published in a reputable journal overseas.
How many people have this?
Seven...no, six people.
Why'd you correct yourself?
One of them quit recently.
Who?
Why are you asking?
Reiko Haitani.
Right.
What? What's going on?
Is this her?
Yes.
Please excuse me.
See you.
Isn't she the head hunter?!
She wanted access to the labs.
She used Reiko's published research and resume.
And gained entry to Mawson Pharmaceutical.
But why?
She wanted something behind this door.
Let me introduce our newest staff member who will be working with us from today.
Go ahead.
I'm Wato Tachibana. I'll be working part-time.
I look forward to working with you.
Welcome to the team.
The boss mentioned you have a medical license.
That's right, but I want to try various jobs.
Have you worked here long?
I'm actually a writer. Kind of.
So this is a side job?
This place is a treasure trove to me.
Being surrounded by books inspires me.
I see.
Ah, that goes here.
Sorry.
I'll go to the storeroom.
Why is she here?
Hey, don't read there!
Why are you here?
I started working here today!
A book by Dr. Watanuki?
Published 4 years ago.
There's nothing major written in it.
Only one interesting section.
Drugs that erase fear?
He dreamt of making a drug to erase bad memories.
You think that's relevant to the case?
I bet this is what Arisa Shiina was looking for.
We need to go check.
Pick up after yourself!
May I?
Oh, excuse me. Of course.
Huh? What do you want?
You've heard of a drug that erases fear, right?
As you know, Dr. Watanuki proposed it 4 years ago.
Which you don't know of, right?
Let's hear the details.
Promise not to reveal what I tell you.
I don't want to tarnish Dr. Watanuki's good name.
Dr. Watanuki was determined to develop that drug.
In order to erase victims' memories of abuse or war.
However, he realized the drugs was too strong.
It could be destructive in the wrong hands.
It sounds great.
But we can see it another way.
As a cold-blooded lethal weapon.
A murder weapon...
Did he finish developing it?
Yes, as part of a top-secret government project.
I don't know anything else about it.
It's your brother.
I called him.
Hello.
I only have 20 minutes, so let me get straight to the point.
Drop this case.
Why?
The data for the drug was stolen a month ago.
Stolen?!
Then why was Dr. Watanuki tortured?
The data is password protected, multiple layers.
And Dr. Watanuki knew what it was.
It's unknown how much of the password was revealed.
There's a trap installed in the password.
A trap?
If the wrong password is entered.
The data is erased at the final stage.
Erased.
I hope whoever stole the data activates the trap.
The public security office is working on it.
You'll be in the way.
I'll decide for myself.
I knew you'd say that.
The head hunter, Arisa Shiina, used a false identity to gain access.
Her goal was to steal the fear-erasing drug data.
She succeeded but...
Didn't know the password and tortured Dr. Watanuki.
Ah!
What?
The number from before. Was it...?
The password.
Arisa Shiina wrote it. She now knows the password.
Congratulations on finding a new job.
It involves a lot of labor. My arms are killing me.
Starting a new job comes with anxiety.
But it's nice to meet different people.
There's even a writer who's been helping me out.
Oh? A writer?
He's interesting to talk to. He's a nice person.
Is that Misanga, a love charm?
No way!
I got this from someone when I left Syria.
It's said they're called "bonfim bracelets."
Bonfim is Portuguese for...what was it...
"Happy ending."
뭔가 좋네요
I like it.
When the bracelet falls off, your wish comes true.
I could tug it...
It has to happen naturally!
My wish, huh?
I'd like a love potion that works instantly on a man.
That sounds great! Be sure to give me some!
Don't keep it to yourself.
Of course!
Ms. Shiina. You have a visitor.
Any word from your sister?
No, she hasn't contacted me since. Why?
She's committed a crime.
Huh?
The author of this book was tortured.
Probably by your sister.
I thought something like this would happen one day.
In elementary school, our parents got a divorce.
I lived with our mother and Arisa with our father.
My mother and I were poor, but we led normal lives.
But Arisa...
She suffered horrible abuse from our father.
When she was a senior,
he came home drunk one day.
He fell on an umbrella and the tip pierced his eye.
It went all the way through his brain and he died.
I've always believed... Arisa did it.
My father was allergic to alcohol.
I think she mixed the alcohol with something else.
But he wasn't the only one she hated.
She hates society for failing to protect her.
Your sister may be planning an even deadlier crime.
Let me know as soon as she gets back.
I will.
Attracts male bees...male bees.
Caesar cipher?
Polybius square?
Japanese iroha poem?
Arisa's back in Japan.
I have to go to work.
The bottle you put in your bag alleviates athlete's foot.
I swapped the contents out yesterday.
Athlete's foot?!
The aphrodisiac is in this adhesive patch.
This is what you want, right?
Could you help with these?
Over there.
Sure.
Ms. Tachibana.
Do you want to have lunch with me today?
Yes, that'd be great.
See you then.
This patch is amazing!
I saw this and realized she was back.
Please take a look.
Adamas is Greek for unconquerable or indestructible.
She's angry about something.
No, it's a hint.
Adamas has another meaning.
Adamas means diamond.
Diamond means carbon 12.
Carbon 12?
A reference to an element's atomic weight.
Divide the 21-digit number by 12.
You get a list of 4 digit numbers.
They represent atomic weights.
6491 is lithium.
1600 is oxygen...
Flourine, vanadium, and aluminum.
Li of val
Lily of the valley, this is the password.
It's a metaphor for the drug.
The flower symbolizes happiness.
Amazing!
Did your sister leave a suitcase?
Yes.
That tissue box has been moved.
Last time, it was in your sister's bedroom.
What is that?
A listening device.
Huh?
Hemingway is known for his hard-boiled style.
But his mother would often dress him as a girl.
So he did things to show his manliness.
Like boxing and spying.
He had quite a life.
He certainly did...
Let's go. It's an emergency.
How did you find me?
The head hunter, Arisa, used me to determine the rest of the password.
You cracked it?
Yes, and she bugged the room.
The data?
Maybe she got it. We don't have time. Help me find her.
Oh, this guy?
Don't bother with him.
What?
Want to know why?
Stop it!
Breton striped shirt, LL Bean boots, and a Rolex Bubble Back.
Same style as Hemingway.
A wannabe big shot writer, a narcissist.
Has a fountain pen, but no calluses from writing.
He's actually not a writer, a nobody. He's an irresponsible half-assed part-timer.
Reads women's magazines to chat up women.
Wears a fragrance popular with women.
He's just looking for easy prey. He's a gigolo.
He targeted you because you're a doctor.
Enough already.
Now I know why you have no friends.
Stop messing around with me.
I'm not going.
OK.
Suit yourself.
I need to go deal with the new books. I'll leave first.
She'll pay the bill.
What's this?!
Wait...
Hello?
I used up one try already.
I need the next password.
The countdown started. What should I do?
OK. I'll email you the frequency soon.
Thanks.
- Ma'am, have you decided your location? - Wait!
What?
Arisa emailed me. She wants to eat dinner together at a hotel.
Tell me which hotel.
Come in.
Did you open the file?
You knew Reika Haitani hired me.
You wrote on the envelope and window.
All to get me to crack the password.
You cracked it, but it just goes to the next stage.
Do it.
That's silly. I refuse.
You can't refuse though.
I may show mercy, but my sister won't.
I get it now.
It wasn't you.
It was all your sister.
Getting me to solve the password, and the torture.
Killing your father with an umbrella.
Hello.
Hi, Yuma.
You work here.
Yes.
That's great. I brought some books to donate.
I need help carrying them.
Where?
In my car.
This car.
OK.
They're in the back seat.
Got it!
The back seat?
Maybe they fell under the seat.
- I'll take a look. - Thank you.
Who is calling?
I don't see anything under the seat.
My sister's a monster.
She can't feel others' pain.
She's cold-blooded, sadistic.
She loves to see people suffer.
Nobody can get rid of her deep hatred.
Not even me.
What's going on?!
Sherlock...sorry...
She's modified it to go up to 1000 volts.
It's extremely painful.
Literally fries the brains.
Ready?
Get her to work.
Do it. We're running out of time.
No! Don't crack it!
If you're wrong, she gets shocked.
It should be linked to lily of the valley.
Other names?
Kimikageso, ladder-to-heaven, convallaria majalis.
All wrong.
Why that name?
Returns happiness, like the drug.
Return of happiness.
The arrival of spring.
Spring?
May 1st!
You know it?
May 1st is Lily of the Valley Day in Europe.
That's it!
I can't think. I need to eat.
Hurry! There's no time!
Lily of the valley is also...
Highly toxic!
The drug is also dangerous.
That's why he used this toxic lily.
The name of the poison?
Convallatoxin.
Its chemical formula is...C29 H42 010.
Molecular weight: 550.64.
CAS number: 508-75-8
No! Convallatoxin is...
A cardiac glycoside. That's it!
What?
Cardiac glycosides can become poison or medicine.
If you switch calcium ions with sodium ions.
Two sides, like the drug.
Calcium ion is it!
If you're wrong, I'll up the shock to 200 volts.
What the hell are you doing?! Solve it!
Yuma.
Why are you doing this?
What will you do with the data?
I want to save the children.
The victims of parental abuse.
I want to erase their fear.
Then they can stand up to their parents and society.
It's none of your business.
Not every victim ends up hating their parents and society like you do.
Some enjoy life to the fullest due to their pasts.
No one's going to thank you.
You need the drug, not the children!
Shut up!
Next time, her brains will fry.
Do it!
I want to see what 1,000 volts looks like.
But it would be a shame not to crack the password.
There's no time!
He knew the danger but made the drug anyway. Why?
It was his dream.
He considered it to be...sacred!
Sacred...legend!
Lily of the valley legends?
The flower grew in St. Leonard's Forest?
No.
The Virgin Mary's tears!
Her tears became the flower. Nothing is more sacred!
Hurry!
Tears as in tellurium and argon.
Atomic numbers 52 and 18. Go!
Yuma, can you see? We did it!
Yes...Send the data!
Got it.
What's happening?!
What?!
I must have been wrong.
I remember hearing something.
There's a trap at the end.
Enter the wrong password and the data gets erased.
How unfortunate!
I wanted to show off, so I've been broadcasting.
Got her!
Are you okay?
Hey, are you okay?
Hang in there!
Are you okay?
I heard everything.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
No problem. I knew you'd be here in time.
Hey.
Hey!
If you sleep like that, your back will hurt.
Are you upset you couldn't crack it?
You'll never know the password.
What?
Of course I cracked it.
You entered the wrong password on purpose?!
The first password was lily of the valley.
The problem was how to open up the lily.
Another name for it is Flower of May.
"March winds and April showers bring May flowers."
You need winds and showers.
Wind and Shower.
W and S, respectively. Take their atomic numbers...
The final password is 7416.
I can't believe you!
My brains were about to be fried!
Also, how were the police able to find me?
They tracked your GPS signal.
What?
It wasn't a patch?!
It's a GPS, not a love potion.
Seriously?!
Hello.
I hope you're feeling better.
What's up?
We searched Yuma Shiina's desk and found this.
What's that?
There's more.
All filled with writing, just like that.
Any ideas?
"Stella Maris"?
Stella Maris is Latin for Star of the Sea.
Which refers to the Virgin Mary in Catholicism.
She guides people, just like the North Star does.
Huh?
What?
The North Star is one star in the Little Dipper.
Akiko Mizuno's phone had a Little Dipper design.
That's no coincidence.
Maybe Stella Maris is the name of a secret society?
And Akiko Mizuno and Yuma Shiina both belonged?
So the Little Dipper is the society's symbol?
