the fetus...

takes on characteristics of

numerous of our earthly species.

And absorb all the memories

of their ancestors...

into each of their billions

of cells before being born.

Hence, the mental and physical

development of the embryo...

depends on the

ancestral memories...

or the embryonic dream.

You remember something?

No, but Dr. Masaki...

What about him?

Nothing.

He certainly seems different...

with such a collection.

We all considered him eccentric.

His doings are beyond

the ken of most folk.

He completed many great

scholarly achievements.

But his most outstanding

accomplishment was...

the creation of the Freedom

Cure Experimental Grounds.

There are 10 examples of IPC.

Dharma faced a stone

wall for 9 years...

and became a great

spiritual leader.

To make us all as one,

an lmperial Japanese Dharma

Association needs be formed.

For the sake of our

lmperial Highness, the Emperor.

Matters not if it's

a wall of stone or wood.

The first step

needs to be taken!

Professor! Professor Masaki.

It's you, is it?

I read your article.

It had a great impact.

Your brilliant prose.

The editorial staff,

became too confused.

They just couldn't

work it out.

A good reaction.

But you should be

careful not to...

get your very self tricked

by your own brain.

Exactly.

Could you give me

more detail on that?

What's that?

I have trouble with your...

"the brain is not a thinking organ."

Because the brain

is almighty.

The brain likes to imagine it's the greatest

of all. As in, "I think, therefore I am."

Just a moment. She thinks

she's Anna Pavlova.

The black clouds so low

Lined up as they are

As they fly across the sky

When you look at

the western sky

What are you filming?

A detective story.

Detective story?

The brain searching

for the brain itself.

A patient, I call him Loony-Lad,

is the main character.

A good lad and smart as well.

I see.

But suddenly one day

he had a manifestation.

He's been here ever since.

Is that true?

You're such a doubter. If you

want I'll take you to him.

We've got him in room #7.

Alright.

And then?

Well, after that he was

amnesic for a while.

Then he returned to a

semblance of normality...

before completely

forgetting everything.

You remember something?

Do you know who I am?

Forgot again, did you?

It's alright.

I'm Keishi Masaki.

Head of the hospital

psychiatry section.

Psychiatry?

So I'm insane, am I?

Insane? Why say that?

I don't remember anything.

Not even my name.

You had a manifestation.

Now you've lost your memory.

How can I get it back?

Who am I?

Calm yourself down.

Earlier you screamed

out loud.

Identify why, and

it'll come back.

I had a dream.

Yes?

A frightening dream.

The world was at an end.

Or perhaps it was a beginning.

A woman suddenly opened her arms,

then looked so hurt.

No, it wasn't that.

Yes, go on.

I can't remember.

Where do our memories reside?

A very good question.

Searching for that gem is

as difficult as finding our soul.

Most doctors place

it in the brain.

I hold that

it's in the entire body.

And the brain acts

as a movie screen.

After I told the lad that,

he was so interested in the brain.

He started asking me numerous

questions, then reading.

He's still functioning well.

And he often makes learned

speeches to himself.

Brains, which exiled god from the world,

have taken the throne of the gods.

Becoming dictators, what have

they done to human culture?

Brains have created

weapon after weapon...

and tried to make us

kill each other off.

They brought us light, belittling

the sun, moon and stars.

They gave us machines and

have destroyed nature.

They created pollution and

its subsequent maladies.

What is the reality of the brain?

Strangely, the brain has not

studied the brain itself.

And there are no cures

for mental illness.

Patients have been put behind

bars all over the world.

They're not treated

as human beings.

Why, I ask, are other patients

treated differently...

from those who suffer

from mental illness?

What defines normality

and abnormality?

You, yourselves live in the bustling city,

you carry on with your normal lives.

Sometimes you

do abnormal things.

You tire and feel as if

someone is watching you.

And you suffer from

your persecution mania.

Most of you have experienced

this abnormality.

So the normal folk

have this tendency.

Those we call insane,

have it to a greater degree.

A genius, or one who is

fixated on one subject...

is also referred

to as being crazy.

Notably, Dr. Masaki is

a typical crazy professor.

Even a doctor, how can

he distinguish madness?

A pulse, examining a tongue?

Where can he cut?

Can't see it on an X-ray.

More mysterious than a fart.

How can we examine it?

You know it can't be cured

and an asylum doesn't help.

Committing them doesn't

give you peace of mind.

For the patient it's the end

and the doctors lots of bucks.

A pit of horror stories. They

get you in and get your bucks.

Bung him in the loony bin and

watch the bugger squeal.

Can't escape from there

and hardly anybody knows.

How could they?

Be quiet! Shut up!

Like this Loony-Lad,

he's taken my Freedom Cure...

and has recovered some

of his faculties.

Sometimes he expounds on

his theories of the brain.

But essentially he's

plagiarizing my theories.

The lad has memorized

it so well.

Sometimes, I even go

listen to refresh my mind.

Doctor Masaki has given me

the nickname Prof. Loony-Lad.

Does that mean the humans

exist for the brain's sake?

Or do brains exist

for we humans?

That deserves deep

consideration.

The god-exiling brains will

destroy not only humans...

but also the world itself.

In order to prevent this, I will cast

this thinking brain to the ground.

And stamp on it. Just watch!

Interesting case, eh?

Then Loony-Lad lapses

into unconsciousness.

But Professor,

why do the detective and

criminal knock each other out?

Because both are

the same entity.

The brain entraps itself.

And the revelation of

it is also the brain.

Put another way. The brain

thinks the brain doesn't think.

According to the brain's thinking.

But that gets nowhere.

So, after Loony-Lad

wakes up again,

he goes through

the very same process.

Unreasonably reasonable.

You're saying that's me?

What do you think?

It's...

as if it were a stranger.

Wakabayashi speaking.

Tomorrow?

That's October 10 at 3 p.m.

Very good.

Professor...

Isn't tomorrow September 10?

Why?

The calendar.

That's left as it

was a month ago.

But why?

Dr. Masaki stopped

using it after that.

What?

That's the day

that he died.

He committed suicide.

But why?

We're not certain.

You don't think that...

His will.

Today, I handed the dean

my resignation.

My Freedom Cure Experiment

was successful...

until yesterday's incident

on September 8, 1926.

The incident proves beyond

doubt my IPC theory.

My inability to prevent

yesterday's tragedy was a failure.
