There's a place I'd like to take you to.

Cheers! Cheers!

Dissociated Identity Disorder?

It basically means

Multiple Personality Disorder.

The doctor says her personality

might have been damaged

because she was abused in some way.

How cruel...

In her case, there are at least

four characters that exist.

Firstly, Rika, who's still a school kid

and the main character.

Secondly, Ayumi,

who's a slut.

Thirdly Kuniko,

who's very strong-minded.

And finally Tetsuya,

who's a violent man.

Quadrophenia...

She was seeing a psychiatrist.

Yoshiki was also seeing the same

psychiatrist at the same time.

Sometimes they were analyzed together.

Yoshiki Shindo had it too?

No, apparently his condition was

just an autonomic imbalance.

But both of them stopped seeing that

psychiatrist around the same time.

Why was that?

They changed psychiatrists.

But the next psychiatrist

committed suicide and...

Who do you think the owner

of the hospital was?

Just tell me who it was.

Daitokuin Chief Bonze Jion.

Chief Jion...

Chief Jion closed the hospital

after the incident.

I'm going to investigate him tomorrow.

Then, who was the boy

that looked exactly like Yoshiki?

Yeah...

He's Kuniaki Osato, Yoshiki's twin brother.

But he was adopted by another

family right after he was born.

Chief Jion has something to do

with his adoption as well.

He'd been trying to convince some

congressmen that having twins is bad karma.

Anyway, after that

Shindo's votes doubled.

So in order to gain more votes,

he listened to Chief Jion's evil advice

and got rid of his son?

According to the medical examiner,

Hideto Shindo's blood type

doesn't match Yoshiki's.

That means there's no chance that

these two were really father and son.

Everyone seems to have

been totally brain-f***ed!

Hey, why did you try to kill yourself?

I'm gonna go now.

Do you want to stay

at my place tonight?

Don't be stupid.

I'm going to stay at the hotel.

That's not the end of the story.

Just sit down, will you?

I investigated Dr Fuji.

It doesn't interest me.

Don't worry. We haven't

found out much about him anyway.

But... I want to know about your father.

What does it have to do with Dr Fuji?

Fuji used to be a surgeon.

He moved from Vietnam to the States,

where he learned the embalming technique.

Don't you think he might

know about your father?

Or he might be my father...

Don't be silly. You know what

kind of man he is, don't you?

My father was a surgeon.

He moved to Vietnam as a combat

medic for the United States army,

and went missing.

My mother visited Vietnam and the

States to look for him after the war.

I was looked after by her friend.

I don't know how or where my mother died,

but her dead body was as beautiful,

as if she were still alive.

I desperately wanted to know who

could make her body look so life-like...

...and alive.

And so I became an embalmer.

If Fuji was your father,

would you continue to be an embalmer?

Of course.

I'm going to complete Yoshiki Shindo's

embalming procedure.

That's my job.

Are you afraid, then?

Afraid? Me? I'm just feeling

uneasy being around you, that's all.

Uneasy? You always come out with

interesting things, don't you?

It's true that fear and disgust

are different feelings,

although they're very

close to each other.

You don't know about war, do you?

In war, fear and unease are eventually

replaced by the desire to live...

that's the only feeling that remains.

Even your feelings for your family

count for nothing in wartime.

Only the basic human instinct

of self-preservation remains.

Some fathers will even

abandon their own son

if it means that they can

survive and escape.

That's just how things are.

When a human being dies,

they become an object.

Human flesh becomes food

for maggots and bacteria,

and eventually the body

disappears completely.

I've seen people acting in this human

food-chain in front of my very eyes.

Once, I was trapped in mud for twenty

days under the dead body of a soldier...

It was like a frog.

I crushed it and swallowed it.

The eyes of the soldier were staring

at me and being eaten by maggots.

Every night I had the same

dream that I was eating his flesh.

The reason that I didn't eat him,

wasn't because of any lingering

respect for human dignity inside me,

but rather because I didn't

want to die from dysentery.

And that's how I managed to survive

and am here talking to you now.

So that's your notion of morality?

I've often heard people saying

that only those who have truly seen

hell, are able to talk about society.

But does this mean you can justify

whatever you do later in life?

I see... You're saying that

this is only an excuse...

I never choose jobs. That's all.

How professional you are!

But I remember that once, just one

time, I worked for my own sake.

Can you hold this?

Hey, come on!

My ex-wife came to Los Angeles

to look for me.

It was twenty years ago.

I didn't want to see her,

so I was trying to avoid her.

There was a terrorist bomb attack,

and 25 people were involved in the incident.

I heard there was a Japanese woman

among the dead, so I decided to go around.

Her skin was completely

burnt and melted

and the body was in pieces,

just like this.

Hey, don't let go of it.

I thought I couldn't possibly let my

daughter see my wife in such a state,

so I carried out the embalming

all by myself.

It was hard work grafting all her skin.

My mother was...

she looked as if she was alive...

OK, that's fine.

Thank you.

I still don't think you're my father.

My father was a combat medic who

went to Vietnam and then went missing.

But that doesn't mean

that you're my father.

My father died in Saigon.

Yeah, that's alright, then.

So let's end the conversation

at this point.

By the way, I heard that the head

belongs to the son of Hideto Shindo.

Do you know him?

No. But I know the guy

who's behind him.

Chief Jion?

Yeah, that's how he calls himself now,

but his original name was Ryugen Kawashima.

What do you know about him?

He used to be just an ordinary,

humble doctor, like I was.

And just like I did, he went to extremes,

but in Kawashima's case, his

work was on human experimentation.

Like the experiment

conducted by unit 731.

The new medicine Kawashima developed

was legalized in the States

and made a lot of money.

Then he used that money to find some

associates in the political world

and came back to Japan,

the country he was once exiled from.

I guess it was revenge.

And that's something which

doesn't apply to my case.

Anyway, he's trying to heal mental illness,

by using needles...

it's a strange idea.

Healing mental illness with needles?

Apparently, inserting a needle

somewhere below the left ear.

And this temporarily numbs

the muscle tissue...

Human mentality can be reset just like

a computer... how ridiculous is that?

Ah! It seems that someone's

here to pick you up.

Has Kurume told you that I was evil?
