01x04 - Night of Punishment

Post by bunniefuu »

How are you feeling, Mr. Junkers?

Mr. Junkers, do you recognise me?

Can you see this finger?

How about it? Can you answer me?

What's that?

The monster... is coming...

What's that, Mr. Junkers?

The monster... is coming...

Coming? What's coming?

The monster is coming...

The monster... is coming...

The monster?!

Junkers...

I know you're able to speak.

Of the four murders of middle-aged couples

in the past two years,

you were seen near the scene of three of them, you see.

How about it, Adolph Junkers?

Never mind. We know that you are a lock picker.

Your job is just to open locks.

Slitting throats in a single stroke...

is not something you could do. That means there were

other perpetrators in addition to yourself.

I think that there would have to be at least three people

in order to open a strong lock,

and m*rder a middle-aged couple without resistance...

We're almost finished making a list of men who use knives.

It's just a matter of time before we pinpoint your colleagues.

Whether you talk, or not.

But that is not what I really want to know.

Why four couples from across Germany?

And why only k*ll middle-aged ones without children?

Money and items were stolen,

but the amounts were too small to split three ways to justify m*rder.

How about it? Want to make a plea bargain?

If you make a statement, you can escape prosecution...

Who asked you to do this?

Mr. Junkers. that's enough. That's enough!

I'll have to ask you to end this questioning!

No, just a little bit more.

Please leave this room!

That's an order from his attending physician!

Oh, all right. I'll come again another day.

But I will place a guard to watch him closely

so that he isn't poisoned or that he doesn't disappear.

Dr. Tenma, for some reason,

all kinds of trouble seems to happen around you.

What are you trying to say?!

It's just a joke. Excuse me.

Hey! You, where are you going?!

A walk.

Doing things without permission shall get me in trouble!

Even patients need recreation. We're just going out into the garden.

If you're worried, do you want to come with us?

It's a warm and pleasant day.

You can talk, can't you?

On days like this, it makes you glad you're alive...

I need days like this, or else it becomes unbearable.

I see people in life and death situations every day...

That's why it's easier for doctors to focus on fame and research.

I used to be like that...

I tried to gain a reputation and do my own research...

I thought that succeeding in surgery was a way to fortify my status...

But after performing surgery on a certain boy, I changed.

He was the elder of fraternal twins. He'd been sh*t in the head.

Because I saved him, I was able to return to being a real doctor...

The weight of people's lives are all the same...

A doctor's work is to save those lives...

Thank you.

You can start over. It's not too late.

Doctor...

You and I are close in age, but you're like my old man.

You saved my life...

I feel like you're my parent...

I suddenly have a big child?

When I was little, I wanted a mechanical clock...

What?!

You know...

The kind where a nutcracker doll would stroll out on the hour...

Every day,

I would press my face against the show window of the watch store...

My first break in was that store...

They caught me right away and I didn't get the clock...

But, after that, break ins became my job...

At first, it was only because I wanted that clock...

I only wanted the clock...

I...

Tell them everything...

Tell the police everything and start over from scratch...

k*lled...

My associates, all of them... They were all k*lled...

Who k*lled them?!

The one you called "the monster"?

Make this one yours, now.

I went through a lot of trouble to set this up.

She's the daughter of a member of the state parliament, you know.

She is beautiful and intelligent. She's really something...

I'll have to meet her first.

But... I guess...

I should do as you say and settle down...

You should!

For someone with your prestige to not have a wife..
. What?

Hey!

The kind where a nutcracker doll would pop out every hour...

This is it!

Excuse me! About the clock in the window...

Hey! What's going on?! It's already time for your date! Hey!

You can start over. It's not too late.

Officer... Policeman on watch... You're there, aren't you?

I'll tell you everything.

But can you call Dr. Tenma, too?

Officer?

Officer?

It's late, but can I visit one of the rooms?

Yes, of course, Dr. Tenma. What is that?

I found something good.

Hey! What's the matter?!

Get a hold of yourself!

He's dead!

Sweets...

Mr. Junkers!

Mr. Junkers!

It's the same as the last time! Poisoned by sweets!

My patient's disappeared!

It's the same thing that happened nine years ago!

Mr. Junkers!

Mr. Junkers!

It's me, Tenma!

Doctor!

You mustn't come, Doctor!

Let's go back to the hospital, Mr. Junkers.

Everything will be all right.

Don't, Doctor. You mustn't come!

You mustn't see him, Doctor!

"Him?"

He's the one who k*lled my accomplices!

You'll be k*lled, too!

Wh-Who's there?!

Don't, Doctor! You mustn't come!

It's been a long time, Doctor. It's me.

Nine years ago, you saved my life, didn't you?

Nine years ago?!

Have you already forgotten about those twins?

Johan!

Johan!

That's right, those twins... You remembered.

Run! You'll be k*lled!

Wh-What do you intend to do?

Mr. Junkers is my patient!

What am I going to do?

Execute him.

Don't do it!

Doctor, run! He k*lled my friends!

What?!

We were hired by him! He always called us on the phone!

A large reward was transferred into our account

after each job was done...

And we'd split it between the three of us!

Could it be?

The one who ordered the murders of the four middle-aged couples

was you?

The police were watching me, so we became a hindrance!

He's already k*lled Fritz, the Slayer, and Big Boy Boris!

Just before he d*ed, Fritz said, "We've been hired by a monster."

He doesn't think anything of k*lling people!

Run! Doctor, you'll be k*lled! Run, Doctor!

You talk too much, Junkers...

Don't!

Don't do it, Johan!

Mr. Junkers doesn't seem to know who you are, but I do.

I was your attending physician!

You are Johan Leibert, the elder of twins.

You are the son of Michael Leibert,

former advisor of Commerce in East Germany,

who defected to West Germany in 1986.

If we know this much about you, you can't possibly escape!

Don't add to your crimes, Johan!

Johan? I used that name before...

But that is not my real name...

What do you mean?

My past must not be known...

Those four couples and the Leiberts, too...

But you're different, Doctor... You saved my life...

You're like my parent, after all...

Parent... me?!

After all, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here.

Stop it! You mustn't k*ll!

Why not?

"Why not?" What do you think a human life is?!

Because I saved your life,

I was able to go back to being what a doctor should be!

By saving your life,

I realised that the weight of each life is equal.

No one has the right to take another person's life!

I've lived for many years as a doctor with that in mind.

What's so funny?!

Doctor, after that incident,

I heard you soon became the Chief of Surgery...

I'm so glad that you were selected as the Chief of Surgery.

What is it you want to say?

You're here now because

the Director, the Chief of Surgery and the Chief d*ed?

That's really good...

It can't be... You did it?

After all, you said it yourself... This is what you wanted.

When I became conscious, that's what you said

That you hated them so much you could k*ll them.

I am not wrong!

That man... That man...

He's better off dead.

...off dead... off dead...

I did just as you wished, you know.

Doctor... I'm afraid, Doctor...

Doctor... Save me, Doctor... I don't want to die!

Doctor!

I was supposed to have d*ed back then.

You brought me back to life, Doctor.

Honestly, this rain is terrible.

I hate the rain. It washes away all the evidence.

What about you, Dr. Tenma?

Let's see... That means, from what you said...

In 1986, right after the Leiberts defected from East Germany

with their twin children, the Leibert family was sh*t

and the parents d*ed.

The elder of the twins, the boy,

was hit in the head and in serious condition.

You operated on the boy and saved his life.

But, surprisingly, the boy,

k*lled the director, chief of surgery and head of neurosurgery

with poisoned sweets and ran away...

And last night, he appeared after nine years

and k*lled a state police officer, once again with poisoned sweets...

And sh*t Adolph Junkers right in front of your eyes.

He is the one who hired Junkers and two others

to k*ll the four middle-aged couples.

His name is Johan Leibert.

And that's all of it?

- Hey. - Yes?

Let him go for today.

Would you ever think that someone with Dr. Tenma's credentials

would ever commit such a crime?

He has an alibi for the time the policeman was k*lled,

and there was no gunpowder residue on his hands.

With this, the clue to solving the murders

of the four middle-aged couples is gone.

For the time being, shall we go after the guy, Johan Leibert?

Inspector Lunge...
