Scalpel.
He's going to die.
That guy.
What's the matter, doctor? Close him up! Without even operating? It's no laughing matter.
It'll put me at peace, too.
Even if there is only a 1 % chance, a doctor must That 1 % is closer to zero.
It's not a surgeon's job to butcher a patient.
Prep Hurry up! ture! At last he can die.
Serves him right! Exactly! REAL Can't you do another test? You've seen it yourself.
There's nothing unusual in the brain scan.
Like I told you last time, before you ask for drugs, shouldn't you give up cigarettes first? As one doctor to another, I expect you to understand that.
Yeah, well If you continue like this, you'll cause a nuisance to the hospital and your patients.
Hasn't your wife said anything about you smoking? No, she doesn't know.
Seriously.
Medicine is a sacred profession.
We have to be healthy in mind and body.
No place for disorder.
That other doctor caused a terrible incident.
The hospital's reputation is at stake.
Well, for you, doctor I am really sorry for what happened.
But unless you become more realistic no one can cure you of your disease.
Be careful, before it's too late.
Right.
How dare you! Sorry.
It still hurts? Why are you here? Drinking it won't change you.
I'm the same.
That's true for you.
Going berserk with a scalpel.
What you need is a depressant.
Don't say that.
Can't be helped, after what you did.
How's your wife? She's fine.
She must hate me, I bet.
She said she'd kill you.
Yeah, I bet she did.
Shit! Hey! Azuma, listen to me! Your headaches won't go away! They'll get worse! Go here before it's too late! Azuma! Believe me! Excuse me.
Please.
Uh Is it hot outside? What? Is it hot outside? Yeah, pretty hot.
Sorry.
I can't bear air conditioning.
That two-faced machine.
Nagai told me about you.
He mentioned you.
Isn't this a beautiful flower? It rarely blooms this time of the year.
Normally flowers earlier.
Its friends all bloomed and withered months ago.
It's the outcast.
Unlike its friends.
Maybe this is what it means by reality.
A flower said to bloom in spring blooms in the fall.
Is this his personal wish? Or was it supposed to be a flower that blooms in the fall, and it's his friends that are unusual.
What do you think? Uh, well Please.
You must be thirsty.
Thank you.
What is it? It's REAL.
What? The medicine you just drank.
Why didn't you say before? Don't worry.
I made it myself.
I used to be a doctor.
What's in this medicine? It will take effect gradually.
Not immediately.
In a few days, things will start to become clear.
There may be side effects.
You might become a little sensitive.
Sensitive? Your unconscious self.
Your eternal unconscious self.
But it will be better than the headaches you have now.
Keep taking it for a week.
After that, it's up to you.
You decide.
How Tatsuo Azuma will protect himself.
There're still comrades in the hospital.
Only a few left.
Why didn't you tell the police? He caused a physical injury.
Nagai's a criminal! He's not a friend of yours anymore.
Get real! He's causing you trouble! Don't say that! What did he say? Nothing.
Tomorrow, I'm calling the cops.
You should tell your superior, too.
If you don't want to say anything, I'll call him.
Okay.
I'll call the police.
You don't have to shout so much.
My headache is getting better.
If it hadn't improved, would you have gone berserk too? Fish again? Can't we have meat sometimes? What are you doing? Sorry.
The protein in fish reduces the amount of salt in the body.
It also prevents blood clots in the brain.
It was on TV the other day.
What's wrong? Are you okay? What happened? You were in such pain yesterday.
It's a miraculous recovery.
Cocaine is a magical drug that relieves innumerable illnesses.
Just kidding.
Let's start.
What is it? What's wrong? Why did you take something without knowing what was in it? What were you thinking, doctor? Anyway, tell me who gave you the drug.
I'll look into it.

How do you feel? Just fine That's good.
after I stopped taking this drug.
