"Clone Baby" Episode 11 (Final)
This is the tale of clones that were created for the sake of the life of one girl.
The clones were created purely for their internal organs.
They were burdened with the sad fate of being drawn together and then killing each other.
No matter what reasons there may be, none are good enough to take someone's life for.
The sole female was Katsushika Marika who had exactly the same genes as the other girl.
- These "stars of hope" died for that other girl's life. - Gota...!
Mikumo Gota...
- Ozu Satsohi... - Thanks.
Okabe Jotaro...
- And one other new victim... - Wakabayashi...!
- The true figure of the evil man behind the game appeared. - That man is coming.
Hazuki Mio... we don't need you anymore.
- Who is one's life created for? - Hiro!
Who determines the value of one's life?
- Masamune! - Dad...
This is a life-or-death game where they've battled for the one chair.
The curtain has now been raised on the final battle.
Dad?
- No way. - What are you doing here?
I should be asking you the same question!
Well? Answer me!
Dad!
Hiro! Hey, Hiro...!
It's so warm... here in Marika's embrace.
I'm sure the blood flowing through my body... is as cold as my regrets.
But still....
... now I feel so warm.
Hiro!
Hiro...!
People's lives have various values.
It doesn't matter if several lives are lost for the sake of one brilliant life.
That's just wrong.
Don't worry, Masamune.
Your life is valuable too.
It was able to create these feelings of love within me as your father.
That's why, Mio, you must die.
- Dad! - Shut up.
Only one clone with these genes can be left alive.
You are the master clone and if you die, they will stop killing each other.
The entire reason for this was because you were born.
[20 years earlier] - Multiple Cell Failure? - It's a difficult disease where the internal organs all stop working.
There is said to be 0% of Mio living beyond 20 years.
It's a terrible thing.
Professor, you shouldn't lie. I'm sure it wasn't 0%.
You could create clones of your daughter and transplant their internal organs.
- But cloning humans... - Which is more important, that or Mio's life?
At that time Dr. Hazuki was the top of the clone researchers.
He would be capable of creating cloned humans.
He just wanted someone to give him that extra push.
So that was what you did, Dad?
We harvested the organs of the clones to keep Mio alive.
I was able to process the rest of their internal organs.
That's enough!
So... the way you were always so kind and nice was a lie, Dad?
Certainly at first the love was fake.
But over time that turned into real love.
[19 years earlier] If they had exactly the same genes as my daughter, they would die from exactly the same disease.
That's why I modified their genes to make them a different sex.
That's why they all look different.
But I created just one that has exactly the same genes as Mio.
She needed a uterus and ovaries. Now all they need is to get this vaccine on the arm they write with to be complete.
Hm?
That child is left-handed? There we are.
It was like he was trying to get me to help him.
After that we spread the cloned babies around orphanages in Japan.
But I kept you to take home with me.
It was many years later that the incident occurred.
I don't care who, but bring 10 of the clones to me.
- It's okay not to get Dr. Hazuki's permission first? - Mm, this is his order.
Heart, lungs, intestines.
They were transplanted from a clone named Kojima Ryuhei.
And we also took his left arm.
That was how the scar vanished?
This is...?
So the reason I'm alive is because you used the lives of other clones.
"CLONE BABY" 11th CLONE
Hiro?
This is the charm bracelet that you had made, Marika.
He'd searched so hard to find it.
That weak guy was so determined to find it.
It was like a thread of fate that couldn't be cut.
He had tried so hard.
I was envious of that.
His family were all so lovely.
He had people who all cared so much for him.
I wished for all of that.
Masamune is still battling for your sake right now, Marika.
Masamune is?
Please accept my heart.
Please live the life... that I won't be able to.
Marika...
Hiro!
Hiro...
What do you think a life is?!
Everyone has been doing their best, despite being full of worries.
How dare you use their feelings as bait?
Will you really replace my shoulder for me?
Someday I will come and kill you!
Dad, didn't you say it yourself earlier?
You said you felt love for me. It's the same thing!
All of us clones were all taken in by various families.
We had friends!
Certainly we may not have been related to them by blood.
But I'm sure they wished for them to stay alive, just as you did for me.
The clones that died also had families and friends who wished they were still alive.
Dad, what you're talking about isn't love.
None of the love I've seen is something that can be stolen by one person.
Masamune, why can't you understand it?
- Ambu [resuscitation device]. - Respirator.
Okay.
- CPR. - Okay. - Hurry!
Hiro...!
Hey! Wait!
- How's her blood pressure? - Low. - Hook her up!
Hang on! What's going on?
Her condition is serious. She probably only has a matter of hours remaining. Excuse me.
Dad!
Masamune, I did it all for your sake.
I stepped on Dr. Hazuki's dream, but what he did won't be in vain.
Is my papa dead?
You killed him?
You did?
Marika? You must be wrong.
Marika? Marika? Marika?
Wake up, Marika!
Marika...!
Masamune! Hey! Hey!
- Don't move! - Stop it!
Don't try to stop me!
It was my fault that so many lives equivalent to mine were lost.
I have lived long enough.
I want to die before this view in front of my eyes turns into true despair.
Masmune...
I'm the same as you are.
Just like you, there was a time when I lost the will to live.
- Shall I swap with you? - So swap with me!
Anyone would swap with someone else if that was a way out of this crappy life!
I wanted someone to swap with me.
That's what I kept saying.
That's why I can say this to you!
There was never anyone who we could swap with from the start.
We don't need anyone to take our places.
There is a chair prepared for each and every one of us.
Life is all about continuing to search for our own chair.
So don't you dare say that you're lived long enough!
Even now you are still alive, aren't you?
Your hand is so warm.
Humans are such warm beings.
Thanks.
- Her heartbeat has returned. - No way.
It's a miracle!
- Begin the respiratory treatment again. - Marika?
Marika?
[1 month later]
Yes, this is Akaoki in front of the Aozora Pharmaceuticals building.
A suspect has been taken into custody in the Tanabata murder case which caused 12 deaths.
Aoyagi Kazuma, a worker at Aozora Pharmaceuticals, has confessed to the murder of Mikumo Gota.
The investigations so far show that the suspect, Aoyagi, has confessed to the crime.
Ah! I've got a new message.
"Is it true that it was Drone-beetle who lead the investigators to solving the Tanabata murder case?"
"No. The one who solved it was a guy called Okajo."
Excuse me! An animal parfait, please.
"Higuchi family grave"
My big brother...
Please! It's clear that the investigation has overlooked some material.
Sorry, it's already over.
- Shogo, you have to do everything you can. - Eh?
Wakabayashi...
Okay!
Ah, sorry!
- I was just on time. - What?!
You're 3 minutes late.
What are you doing? You'll get wrinkles if you worry about the small stuff.
Here's a gift to make up for the small stuff.
- Hey, Marika... - Mm?
Do you believe that now... that even now that guy is still alive in your heart?
Mm.
Because the reason I'm alive right now is because...
Ah!
Snow?
If you don't wrap up properly, you'll catch a cold.
Thanks.
Anyhow, let's go.
Wait for me!
You're supposed to be dead...
In this game of musical chairs...
... there is only one chair prepared.
You're... Kikichi Hiro?
