Monster (Anime Series) (2004) s01e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
Maurer, you haven't been taking a bath, have you? You promised, when I moved to the desk next to you, that you'd take one every other day.
You're such a pest.
You have a visitor in the reception office.
I'm going home, so make your own tea, will you? A visitor? At this hour? He hasn't had a bath, either.
He smells almost as bad as you do! What the hell? Upsy daisy! And whose fault is it that I haven't been able to take a bath? She doesn't realize that she's able to make a living at this paper with no future, thanks to me.
Jeez.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Huh? Uh My name is Tenma I'd like to ask for your assistance! Right He really is filthy I see, so you're a doctor You don't look like one.
In other words, Doctor, is this what you're trying to say? The next target of the person who's been killing middle-aged couples throughout Germany is here in Heidelberg? That couple is fostering a young girl, and when that girl turns 20, the killer will come to take her away And when he does, the foster parents are sure to be killed But you have no idea who that girl or her foster parents are, or where they live If that's not delusional, I don't know what it is.
It's not a joke.
Please believe me.
Ridiculous! Not even the gossip rags would write up that story.
I didn't come here to get you to write it up! After those twins slipped out of the hospital, there is at least a 6-month blank period before the brother showed himself.
So what? I believe that, after leaving the hospital, those twins came to Heidelberg together.
You believe And the two were raised by the girl's current foster parents.
But the brother ran away from here after a short period, leaving his sister behind.
Why don't you write a novel? 'Course it probably won't sell.
It is possible that there is a missing person's report out on the boy.
And there might even be a newspaper article about him! Please let me check the newspapers from nine years ago! Please! Please! We mustn't allow any more people to be killed! Please The president has a thing against computerization, you see These are smaller versions of the daily newspapers, and manuscript files.
And these are files of cancelled stories and raw data.
T-Thank you very much! Is that the Japanese bow? You're quite welcome.
Let me say this I just don't have the time to spend on silly stories.
Hurry up and leave when you're satisfied! Jeez! Every once in a while, I get a nut case like him.
Please Please let me find something! The Missing Good morning, Nina! Good morning! Thank goodness.
You're looking well, Nina.
Fainting like that You startled me.
I guess you really didn't like the boy we hooked you up with.
T-That's not true.
I just suddenly felt bad.
I have to apologize to him.
Oh, never mind.
You don't have to worry about him.
Huh? That Otto When I talked to him, I found out that he's not your "prince on a white horse.
" He says he didn't send you any email message.
Is that so? So you're saying that you fainted because you saw that boy? Yes What did he look like? I only saw him for a second, so I'm not sure What was your impression of him? It felt very nostalgic Oh But that's not it I can't explain it well, but But? You needn't force yourself, Nina.
Absolute evil I don't know how to put it, but Yes, it felt just like when I had that nightmare "Absolute evil" It's beginning to sound religious.
I don't go to a church But, it seems to me that everything will be cleared up if I see that person again.
You feel that you will regain the memory you've lost Yes.
That's one means you may be able to employ But I don't think you should let that be a burden on you.
Thinking about your future without stressing, is also important.
Yes Don't worry.
Just work up a sweat playing sports, and your insecurities should disappear.
Maurer, pull another all-nighter? Yeah Oh, by the way, were you the one who let that guy use the file room? That guy? Yes.
I asked him what he was doing there and he said you had given him permission.
You mean he's still there? Jeez! Hey, you! It's about time you Huh?! Oh! Hey! Are you all right? Hey! Huh? Come on.
Eat up.
Yes Good, isn't it? I always have breakfast here.
Don't you go home? What about your family? Haven't got one.
My wife left me, you see.
Huh? I was always so busy with work.
When I finally realized it, my wife had gone back to her parents with our daughter.
Have you ever thought about bringing your wife home? Why would I do that? She's the one who walked out! Why should I go to get her? Well, you seem to regret being so occupied with work.
Don't be silly! Work is most important to a man! Any wife who cannot understand that is welcome to leave me! I'm sorry.
It was none of my business.
That's right.
It's none of your business.
Oh, uh One more thing You smoke too much.
I say that as a doctor.
I told you it's none of your business! Quit saying the same thing my wife said! Your wife was worried about your health, too.
Mind your own business.
Nina's birthday present? Yes.
I finally finished it.
Her sweaters used to be this tiny before.
Dear, are you really going to tell her that she's not really our daughter? Why can't we leave it? You're right There's no need to tell her that.
Nina is our daughter, after all.
I'm home! Welcome home! Boy am I hungry! Think about the future? Dr.
Gaitel may be right.
"Tomorrow, your birthday, let's meet at Heidelberg Castle at 7:00 PM.
" Tomorrow at Heidelberg Castle? I'm so busy, but here I am staring at a mountain of papers with you! Isn't it about time you gave up? Listen, Doctor If it's just a thought, now If I were to go to get my wife Do you think she'd come back? Yes.
If you quit smoking, that is.
Oh! What is it? I found it! Huh? It is possible that he was kidnapped, but there has been no word from a kidnapper.
Someone named Fortner has filled out a missing person's report! The raw data should be in here somewhere Oh, here it is! Huh? Oh! W-What is it? You said that that killer would come to take his sister away when she turned 20, didn't you? If the boy in this article is her brother Look! His birth date is printed here.
Today is the 20th birthday of those twins.
Uh, hello, Dad? It's me.
I just finished work.
I'm going to meet up with a friend then I'll be coming home.
Yes At Heidelberg Castle.
I see.
Your mom is making preparations for a birthday party, you know.
Was that Nina? Yes.
She says she's going to meet a friend before coming home.
I wonder who it is.
Nina's all grown up, after all.
Maybe this will help me to remember things I want to know who I really am.
Doctor, what do you intend to do if the twin girl is at the Fortners' home? Whatever the case, that family is in danger.
I will contact the police and ask for protection.
Do you think the police will do anything just from your reasoning? Nothing has happened yet.
It'll be too late after something happens! Nothing's going to happen.
It's all in your head! Listen, Doctor Of the four murder cases, I myself went to the crime scene in Cologne.
There was something different about that scene.
I sensed no purpose, no greed, no bitterness It was like someone simply ended these people's lives.
I could tell just by looking at the crime scene.
You said that a kid who wasn't even 20, did it.
But do you think a youngster could kill those people without feeling any emotion? That wasn't something done by a kid! It was something bigger Bigger What? That's just it I just can't find the right words to describe this case.
If I have to describe it, it's trite, but that was the Devil's work.
If that killer were to appear before me, I would kill him without a pause.
Good evening! Sorry to call on you so late Yes? I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm Maurer of the Heidelberg Post.
What would a newspaper reporter be wanting? Uh I'd like to ask you some questions - What is it? - Oh! It's regarding this missing persons report that you filed in 1986 Y-You can forget about that matter! Uh Could you please talk to us? Don't you have a girl living with you? The twin sister of the boy who disappeared Please! Please answer me.
Oh, dear Huh? A cake They had a birthday cake prepared You took in a pair of twins nine years ago, didn't you? The girl still lives with you, doesn't she? Please leave! We have raised her as our true daughter.
Please don't make waves.
Please leave us alone.
You took in a pair of twins nine years ago.
The boy had surgical scars on his head and the girl had amnesia.
Isn't that right?! Mr.
Fortner, you must contact the police at once! Your lives, and your daughter's, are in danger! Mr.
Maurer W-What are you talking about? Please let us see your daughter.
She is out at the moment.
Where is she?! At Heidelberg Castle.
She said she was going to meet a friend.
Please let me use your car! W-Wait! We must notify the police first.
We don't have the time to explain things to the police! Give me the key, quickly.
All right.
I'll call them from here.
Thank you.
Hey, Doctor! Be careful! As I said earlier, he's a terrible person.
You'd better not die! Mr.
Maurer Come back alive Then I'll quit smoking.
I'll follow the quack's advice.
Your wife will be happy, too.
Now, how should I explain this to the police? Our daughter Is she all right? What has happened? Don't worry.
Let me use your phone.
What has happened to our daughter? Please tell us! Calm down! Huh? What in the?! The phone line's been cut Anna Please be safe Anna! It's way past time I guess that message was a prank.
I'm going home.
You can't.
Huh? You have to wait here.
Who are you? I was asked to make sure you waited here.
I said to wait Don't you understand? Wait! You have to wait here! That's what I was told! Anna! Anna No, you're Nina Fortner, aren't you? Do you remember me? I'm Dr.

If she doesn't, I-I I won't get paid! He said no one would come! Damn! Are you all right? I-I'm amazed I need something to tie him up with! Oh Who asked you to do this? I-I don't know.
When did he say he was coming here? I don't know.
He just said he would come here after doing something important.
Don't tell me your home Huh? I have to hurry back to your home! W-What's going on? I'll explain later! We've got to hurry, Anna! - Anna - Hurry! Damn I can't get loose Please tell me! Who are you? And I'm not Anna! I'm Nina! No, when you were brought into my hospital, you were Anna.
