- Is it my turn now? - I'm next.

The doctor's famous for treating that general,

but in fact he saved a lot of badly wounded soldiers.

Doctor, were you at the front-line in hoten too?

Yes. With the third army.

The third... army...

Remarkable! And awarded a medal too.

I was just an army doctor.

Many saw far more terrible things than I did.

This looks badly inflamed.

What happened?

He was attacked.

By those brats from the slums.

You just tried to give them some candy, didn't you?

Think yourself lucky you were only hit.

You could have caught a very nasty disease.

I said it was nothing.

Mother insisted we come so she could meet you.

Has mother stopped saying those peculiar things?

Do you recall anything today?

What a horrible color!

If only that fire had never happened...

If only I could remember something.

Don't worry about it.

It's all in the past... Let it fade away.

The most important thing is...

That you're still here with us

in a way, that fire brought us together.

Despite their manner, they're really happy you're here.

There's nothing that can't be explained away.

And I'm always here for you.

But that has to be our secret. Forever.

Mother and father would faint

if they knew how we first met by the river.

If they ever found out that I saw you that time, stark naked.

Rin, Shige's come back.

Shall we start preparing dinner?

Yes.

During my army service,

I know I shouldn't say this,

but for many badly wounded soldiers medical treatment seemed wasted

I keep trying to suppress my thoughts,

and dedicate myself to saving life again,

but with the mortally ill, is it wrong of me

to want to release them from pain?

German medical ethics won you medals.

You must keep treating a patient up to the very last moment.

Yes.

To be worthy of the title doctor, just promise you'll never again

make decisions on human life.

That's god's prerogative.

Shige, Shige!

Yes!

More rice, perhaps?

A cloth, a cloth!

Yes.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

What is it?

Nothing at all.

- What? - Please don't laugh, but...

Recently, this house has started to make my skin crawl.

What do you mean?

Well... how can I explain it?

Nostalgia...

Sadness...

A shadowy figure...

Sometimes our eyes meet...

I can't really explain.

What sort of nonsense is this?

Think of your mother's health.

This is hardly the right time for such morbid thoughts.

It still hasn't gone. What is that horrible stench?

Rin, what is it?

Can't you do something about it?

Alright.

It seems to be coming from the back, not the front.

In that case, why didn't you do something earlier?

- Can you smell it in the surgery? - A little.

Yukio! Don't come in the house in your surgery coat!

Father? .. Father?

Epidemic containment do not touch

Not yet...

About the inheritance...

It's not all finished yet.

After I'm gone...

There will be problems...

Yukio...

- You have to be strong. - Mother, don't say such things.

One more thing - yes?

Are you sure she's the right one for you...?

Haven't we discussed this a hundred times?

We only got married after you gave your approval.

However you think about it, it's strange.

She has no memory!

There's no way of knowing her family background...

Mother, you always said...

You can judge a person by their clothes.

You should feel sorry for her, mother.

Amnesia is a terrible thing.

She lost her family and home in that dreadful fire.

But

yes?

Ever since she came,

the house has felt strange.

- Mother! - Well, hasn't it?

Your father met a gruesome end.

Yukio...

Yes?

Stay with me a little longer.

Of course, of course.

My son...

I'm afraid... terribly afraid.

What are you doing, drinking at this hour?

Yukio, it's really wonderful.

You worked so hard to earn those medals.

I'm so very happy.

Well done, well done...

Forgive me.

I'm so happy to be able to breathe easily again.

Yukio, I'm sorry for saying those things earlier.

I was a little disturbed from the shock.

Rin, forgive me.

I'm alright now. Don't worry.

Go back to your own room now.

Tonight we'll stay here with you.

Now, just relax and go back to sleep.

Is everything all right?

What is it?

Everything's fine. I'm just going to the bathroom.

- Shall I go with you? - No! No! No! No!

Well... good night then.

Everything's fine.

Good night.

Yukio-San, what are all those people doing in the house?

Her heart was weak too.

She followed her husband to the grave.

There's things we must all discuss

so soon after her husband's death?

I think we should keep the funeral very private, yes?

Have you remembered something?

We've checked the rooms.

There's nothing suspicious.

Ah, so you're the famous Dr. daitokuji are you?

Just because you've got a few medals, don't let it go to your head,

you arrogant bastard.

Doctorl! Doctor!

Doctor!

Takie! Toshiko! Suzu! Are you still here?

Anyone still around?

A plague victim.

Inform the police, and the quarantine station at once.

Doctor! Doctor! Help me!

Epidemic containment

get the protective clothes.

Doctor! Open up!

Doctor! ...Doctor!

Quick!

What is it?

It's the mayor...!

He's had too much to drink.

He fell down...

He fell on a stake!

Doctor! Doctor!

Help us! Doctor!

Toshiko, suzu,

move them as far away as possible,

and try not to touch the child.

Takie-San.

In here.

This way.

Yukio! What about the mother and child?

Hold his legs and arms down, please.

I'll anesthetize him.

It's all right.

Compared to the battlefield, this is easy.

Yukio! Doctor!

- What about the mother and child? - Please go, you shouldn't see this.

Scalpel.

I'm sorry.

It's just... that mother and child,

she'd heard the rumor about you too.

And believed it...

Totally...

You must know how terrible the plague can be.

And where do you think they are from?

From the slums!

The slums are breeding grounds of infection.

And it's not just disease.

Robberies and many other crimes.

Just the other day I treated a child who'd been struck

by a brat from the slums.

Maybe...

He said something hurtful to the slum children?
