Embalming...
In Ancient Egypt, the dead bodies of kings
were soaked in precious balsam oil
to prevent decay and preserve the body
in a mummified state for eternity.
The origin of embalming lies in the
discovery of balsam oil and its use.
During the American Civil War,
embalming was widely used
in order to transport soldiers' bodies back
to their often far away home towns.
As a result,
embalming became famous world-wide.
Originally, embalming was seen as a means
of preserving the influence and power of men
and the beauty of women for posterity.
At present, the use of embalming in the
North American continent exceeds 90%,
and through technological
advances it is now possible
to preserve a body in its original state
for up to 100 years after death.
Fundamentally, embalming is an expression
of affection by the surviving family,
and an opportunity for them to say a
final farewell to their loved ones.
Embalming is a technique
that maintains the dignity of the dead.
Practitioners of such techniques
are known as 'embalmers'...

- Hi.
- Good morning.
So what do you want?
I've got a job for you.
You always want to see the actual
scene of the incident, don't you?
'Love Discourse'
That guy in uniform, his hobby
is raping women at the break of dawn.
The top people are having a hard time
covering it up for him all the time.
Don't make such stupid jokes.
You'll have to put up with it if you
want to see the scene of the incident.
It was a young person, wasn't it?
How can you tell?
I can smell it.
The smell of death.
Yoshiki Shindo, 17 years old.
Most probably suicide or an accident.
There's no suspicion of
homicide in this case.
How can you tell?
I can smell it.
So it's just another boring case
for Detective Hiraoka.
His mother's gone mad and is
refusing to bury her son's body.
She wants to restore it to its
previous form and preserve it forever.
So what are you going to
do about it, Ms. Embalmer?
It's for fifty days.
What?
A body can only be preserved
for fifty days following death.
It can't be preserved forever...
Rich family?
It's Hideto Shindo. He's the
head of the National Country Party.
Let me know when
you finish the autopsy.
It'll be done by lunchtime.
Mr. Kurume, TD-2 embalming
treatment will be applied.
Could you please store
his clothes somewhere?
He doesn't look like that anymore.
Such a horrible ending.
He was a beautiful boy.
'I want to preserve his
current state for ever... '
A body can only be preserved
You should be careful
what you wish for.
Yeah, Mr. Detective?
These stitches need to be re-done.
How about signs of drug addiction?
There's no sign of it.
OK, let's start.
What is it?
A needle...

Miyako Murakami,
I command you to
immediately stop the evil acts
that you are inflicting
on Yoshiki Shindo's body.
Well, who are you?
What do you mean by 'evil acts'?
It's his family's wish that the
embalming be carried out.
I'm also the father of a
young boy who has passed away.
I am conveying to you
the wish of Hideto Shindo.
Well, what do you want me to do?
All things are transient.
There's not a single living creature
that can live for eternity.
Human bodies are destined
to return back to the soil.
So what you are carrying out is a
violation of the silence of Bodhisattva,
and is therefore an act of evil.
I order you to stop
the embalming immediately!
What are you talking about?
Embalming actually helps families
who have lost their loved ones.
Is that an evil thing to do?
I can see obsession in your face,
an obsession with death!
It's your own suffering that you're
trying to alleviate by embalming.
It's you that needs help!
You are possessed by death!
It was in his body...
I wonder how and where
it got inside.
I doubt if we'll be able
to confirm how or when.
Anyway, it means there's a slight
possibility of some kind of homicide.
Good for you.
Yeah, I can use it as an excuse
to spend more time with you.
Anyway, talking about
it looks like you've been
targeted by a huge organization.
He has a lot of followers.
But Jion is still just
some rip-off faith healer
targeting society's political
and economical echelons.
But I am possessed by death...
He knew what he was talking about.
You're an embalmer, aren't you?
You have to regularly deal with death.
She was trying to die, wasn't she?
You mean Rika?
She was a girlfriend of Yoshiki Shindo.
Hey, do you think embalming
It helps me feel better, at least.
When did this happen?
I can't remember.
OK.
No!
No! No!
Stop making a scene!
You're making a fool of yourself!
I apologize for what happened.
Can I speak to the person
in charge here?
Please understand, this was a robbery
case and could not have been avoided.
I'm in charge.
Then let me inform you.
Please return my son to his original state.
We can't hold a proper funeral like this.
I'm a congressman of a national party.
There'll be leading politicians, including
the former Prime Minister, at the funeral.
We'll be disgraced if we display
his body without its head.
Oh my God!
What a terrible father!
So your reputation is more important
than the death of your own son?
Mr. Hiraoka... please.
Who do you think you are?!
I'm a guard dog of people like you.
What's that?
Hello, this is Josei EM Center.
Miyako Murakami. Have you
realized the magnitude of your sin yet?
So you're the person
who set it all up, then?
Foolish woman. Just put Shindo on.
Mr. Shindo. It's Chief Jion.
Ah! Goodness Jion!
Goodness Jion!
Chief Bonze Jion. It's such an honor
to receive a phone call from you.
Thank you very much indeed.
Yes. We will certainly do as you say.
Ah, yes.
Well... Yes.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Mr. Kurume, shouldn't you take a rest?
I'm fine.
I'm really sorry.
I should've stayed with you.
They used chemical weapons.
Even if you'd been with me,
you'd have been put to asleep as well.
Would you like a glass?
Would you like some too?
Sorry, I don't drink.
I see, so you're a non-drinker...
Anyway Mr. Detective,
how do you see this case?
Is it something to do with
this organization?
It's the way they usually work.
What organization?
They're called 'Death Traders'.
They steal dead bodies from hospitals
or funeral director's parlors,
and remove body organs, such as eyeballs,
to sell on the black market.
But Mr. Detective,
something's strange, isn't it?
I know. It's very suspicious that
they only removed the head.
I'm sure there's some
kind of conspiracy behind it.
It looks like someone intentionally
removed Yoshiki Shindo's head
for some other kind of purpose.
