if someone else moves in?

- All right.

- Give him your number.

Hey, you!

What are you doing up there?

You'll get hurt! Come down!

I'm coming up!

Damn fool!

Name, address

and particulars unknown.

He appears to be in his late 20s.

Yes, I know that.

All right, thank you.

Well, the station is looking

for information on you...

but if you yourself don't know...

The computer has nothing either.

Don't worry.

Tomorrow we'll get you to a hospital.

Have some tea.

Is this your place?

No, it's a police box.

You're a cop?

Yes.

Why am I talking to you?

I want to ask you some questions.

About me?

Do you remember standing on that roof?

What about coming

to this police box with me?

Is this a police box?

Yes.

Who are you?

Oh, boy!

Okay, enough.

May I smoke?

Sure.

You can't smoke here!

That's okay.

Here.

I'm on duty.

Oh.

Here.

Oh, thanks.

I'll go do my rounds.

It must be hard work.

Sometimes.

I'm sleepy.

I'm gonna sleep a bit.

Okay.

Mr. Oida.

Look at this.

You hear me, don't you?

Yes.

You know what I'd like?

I'd like to hear about you.

Huh?

Tell me.

I think it's the flu.

Does your throat hurt?

A little.

Lower your trousers

and lie down, please.

What?

Lower your trousers and lie down.

Okay.

That's good enough.

Raise your knees a bit.

You're not shy, are you!

Your lymph glands are a bit swollen.

Fine, thank you.

What do you want at this hour?

Sorry. This won't take long.

Ten minutes, and that's all!

Listen...

you don't think it might be

some kind of hypnosis, do you?

Huh?

You know, someone looks

at a flashing light...

then does whatever

someone else tells them?

"Hypnotic suggestion."

Is it possible?

What do you think?

You're the only one I dare ask.

Well?

Got some new evidence?

Just an idea.

Hypnotism itself is

a very common technique.

But even if you manage

to hypnotize someone...

you can't change

their basic moral sense.

A person who thinks murder is evil

won't kill anyone...

under hypnotic suggestion.

Could you induce someone to cut

in that "X" pattern?

It would take forever to get

a suggestion like that into place.

It's impossible?

I didn't say that...

if the hypnotist was a genius.

But why would someone do that?

I don't know.

A thrill killing?

Some thrill that'd be!

You said yourself that no one knows

what motivates a criminal.

Mr. Oida, do you know where the stuff

for the Ward Office is?

The right-hand shelf.

Yeah, here it is.

Like I said.

Be right back.

Come in.

Sorry I'm late.

That's all right.

Did something happen?

I got lost.

Lost?

Yes.

Did you come another way?

I don't know. Suddenly I just

didn't know where I was.

How did you get here, then?

I don't know.

Suddenly I was in front

of the hospital.

Well, it all worked out

for the best.

You got here.

Yes.

That book...

It's Bluebeard.

Do you remember it?

No, I've never seen it before.

There's nothing physically wrong.

Just a sprained ankle.

Nothing to worry about.

So how's your memory?

Tomorrow we'll move you to a hospital

with a proper psychiatric department.

Sure.

How far back do you remember?

I remember talking to you.

Any worries?

Worries? About what?

You're quite calm.

You're the one with worries.

Sorry?

May I smoke?

There's no smoking here.

I see.

What do you mean, I have worries?

Uh, what?

I forget.

Water.

Doctor, can I tell you something?

Certainly.

All the things that

used to be inside me...

now they're all outside.

So...

I can see all of the things

inside you, Doctor.

But the inside of me...

is empty.

Don't look at me.

Now you tell me about yourself.

About me? What about me?

Why you became a doctor.

Why?

You're just a woman.

Why did you become a doctor?

Just a woman?

That's what people said, isn't it?

They did, didn't they?

Think back.

Remember exactly how you felt.

Just a woman.

Woman is a lower life form

than man. Isn't she?

See? Now you remember.

When you were in medical school...

you dissected a corpse, didn't you?

The first corpse you'd ever seen.

It was a man, wasn't it?

Think back.

You'd never seen a naked man before.

You took your scalpel

and cut into him.

It made you feel good, didn't it?

Didn't it?

Think back.

You wanted to be a surgeon...

but you weren't sure you could,

and you ended up a GP.

No.

What you really wanted to do

was cut a man open.

You shot him in the head.

Wasn't that enough?

Is there a reason why you cut

into the dead man with a knife?

Yes.

He was someone I didn't like.

Why?

Many reasons.

It's been three years since

he was transferred to our box.

I put up with him all the time.

Finally I couldn't stand it anymore.

But to kill him?

Yes.

Detective, you've never

killed anyone, have you?

That's how you get when you hate

someone from the bottom of your heart.

So it was an angry impulse?

No. I was completely calm.

Isn't that a bit strange?

Yes, it definitely is strange.

May I?

I'm Sakuma, a psychiatrist.

Officer Oida, do you remember

seeing anything shiny?

For example...

something like this?

No.

Were you talking to anyone

before the crime?

No.

Is that true? Try to remember.

Do you think you could

stop doing that, please?

Keep going.

Don't stop!

You did talk to someone, didn't you?

We know you did.

Look at the light.

No. No one.

Yes, you did. Who was it?

What was his name?

I didn't!

- Enough!

- Mr. Oida.

You must have seen a light like this.

Was anyone there?

Someone told you to do this,

didn't they?

Who was it?

There might have been someone there.

- Was there?

- I don't know!

Of course you know.

Who was it?

Tell me his name, please.

- His name?

- Yes, his name. What was his name?

He... didn't have a name.

What do you mean?

Mr. Oida, look at the light!

That's enough!

Excuse me. I'm thirsty.

It is hypnosis!

We can't be sure of that.

But that wasn't normal!

I decide what's normal.

Stop traumatizing people.

Sakuma, we're not counseling this man,

we're interrogating him!

- Don't move!

- But...

Just stay there.

Mr. Oida? Mr. Oida?

What was that you just did?

Just now? Nothing.

What's that motion

you're making with your hand?

This?

I don't know.

Nothing in particular.

Tell me about what you just did.

I was just thinking

of Officer Tamura.

That's all.

Nothing more than that.

How long will this go on?

Okay.

Mr. Takabe!

What are you doing?

Another murder. The restrooms

in Chuo Park. Get over there.

There was a report of a suspicious

person at Shiomicho Hospital.

Oida took him in there.

- Amnesia?

- Apparently.

- Where is he?

- He's not in his room.

- So where is he?

- They say he hasn't left.

I know you're here.

Step out here, please.

- Where?

- Here.

I don't know where "here" is.

Well, then, I'll have to come to you.

Where are you?

Come out.

Who are you?

Police.

Who?

A police officer.

Do you understand my question?

I've got some questions to ask you.

I want to hear about you.

I ask the questions! You answer!
