Cure Page #4

I mean the charges against you.

Who are you?

Fujiwara, from headquarters.

Well, Mr. Mamiya?

Do you understand

why you're here now?

What?

Don't ask questions, answer them.

What questions?

Mr. Mamiya...

incitement to murder

can carry the death penalty.

Do you understand that?

Is that your boss?

Yes.

That must be a drag.

Mr. Mamiya, answer my question.

Who are you?

Fujiwara. Headquarters.

Who?

- Are you being smart?

- Who are you?

Takabe, what's wrong with this man?

- I'm asking who you are.

- Answer my question!

All right, I'll ask you again.

Fujiwara-of-Headquarters.

Who are you?

What exactly do you mean?

You think about that.

I'm very sorry!

You must understand, he has amnesia.

What a bunch.

They don't understand, do they?

About me...

or about you.

Detective, do you hear my voice?

You do, don't you?

That proves you're a special person.

You knew that from the start.

So did I.

You're different from them.

You're someone...

who can understand

what I'm really saying.

Take him away.

Will Okinawa be warm?

Let's eat lots of good food.

What do you want to eat?

Fumie, we're not going to Okinawa.

I know.

The sea there must be beautiful.

Just until my work settles down.

I understand.

I'll take her bag.

Shall we go?

Thank you, Doctor.

Mr. Takabe.

It's not good to work too hard.

You look sicker than your wife to me.

I'm sorry, I don't have the tag.

I wonder where it went.

A week ago, wasn't it?

Yes.

Mr. Takabe?

One moment, please.

I'm sorry, sir, but it's not here.

That can't be.

Maybe you took it somewhere else?

No.

Or you gave it to your wife.

No.

May I take your plate?

Yes.

Yeah?

Sakuma?

What?

No, I'm not busy.

Now?

I want to show you something.

What?

A film on hypnotherapy.

The university put it on video.

The oldest material

on hypnotism in Japan.

It probably dates from the end

of the 19th century.

Watch the man's hand.

You have to look closely.

See? There.

You see what looks like an X?

- That's it?

- Yeah.

What does it mean?

Her name was Suzu Murakawa.

She was treated for hysteria.

That's all that's recorded.

Police records say...

she was arrested

for the murder of her son in 1898.

She seems to have killed him...

by carving the shape

of a cross into his neck.

That's all we know.

Did Mamiya see this film?

I don't know.

There's not much chance

even medical students would see it.

But even if he had...

that still wouldn't

explain his actions.

Who's this man in the film?

Unknown.

We do know, however, why he

didn't show his face to the camera.

You know what they called

hypnotism in Japan back then?

"Soul conjuring."

Like clairvoyance, spiritualism--

that sort of thing.

The authorities in any age

always suppress occultism...

and the Meiji government back then

would have suppressed this technique.

It would only have been performed

in secret ceremonies.

HERESIES:

CHAPTER 4 -- MESMER

Sakuma.

Huh?

So what is Mamiya, then?

What's your guess? Tell me.

A missionary.

A missionary?

Sent to propagate the ceremony.

Sorry, I was just imagining things.

What am I saying?

Don't take me seriously.

I'm a little tired.

Let's call it a day.

Now I'm getting in too deep!

Sakuma, what's that?

Oh, that?

I just thought it might

help me to think.

About what?

About...

I don't know.

You met Mamiya, didn't you?

No.

Yes, you did.

It's weird.

I don't remember.

Kunihiko Mamiya's

whereabouts unknown.

Earlier reports of him near

Kawasaki Station were inaccurate.

In the absence

of further information...

the search area is being widened

from Tokyo and Saitama...

to the entire Kanto plain.

Hello?

One moment, please.

Mr. Takabe, it's for you.

Hello?

I see.

We're on our way.

Dr. Sakuma's body has been

taken to the hospital.

It was probably suicide.

He strangled himself.

He'd cuffed himself to that pipe...

strange as that sounds.

So you've come, Detective.

Why did you let me escape?

You know why?

By letting me escape,

you could learn my true secret.

All by yourself.

You didn't have to, though.

Anyone who wants to meet

his true self is bound to come here.

It's fate.

Remember now?

Do you remember everything?

You do?

This is the end for you, too.

Fearsome... heart of...

His... healing hand.

Road ofhealing...

Not a long...

Take sword...

A man... but dew.

Heal, O... water-grass!

... O winter...

...falls... snow.

That... heal... snow.

Take... in hand... heal.

Shall I bring your coffee?

Yes?

All right.

Bring the car around.

Here you are.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.
