Monster (Anime Series) (2004) s01e11 Episode Script
Episode 11
Well, well you've found some wonderful property.
It's a convenient twenty-minute drive from the center of Berlin; Former (East Berlin) in a well-located and nice neighborhood.
It's rare to find this sort of property on the former East side.
Umm Wasn't this the residence of Mr.
Liebert, the consultant to the former East German Trade Commission? Huh? What? You just came to investigate Mr.
Liebert? Is that all?! You're not a customer? Sorry There was something I just had to find out.
I wouldn't know anything about an official who died ten years ago! The Lieberts adopted twins while they were here.
I told you, I don't know anything What about the landlord? Can you introduce me to him? Listen most of the land in the former East side is the property of Jewish capitalists who escaped from the Nazi regime.
The eastern government was paying foreign countries and capitalists from the west side and borrowing land.
The landlord for this property is overseas Besides, my company is a west-side real estate company that prospered after the destruction of the Wall.
I don't know anything about the past.
Now, get out.
I'm going to lock the gate Isn't there anyone who knows about ten years ago someone who remembers Mr.
Liebert? As I told you, this is a residential area for ex-government officials.
Most fled after the Wall came down.
Especially from the officials from the Ministry of the Interior Oh! Come to think of it An ex-official of the former East German Department of Commerce lives ten houses away from here Yes, Mr.
Liebert.
He didn't have to take such a risk, only to die.
If only he had waited just a little longer, until East Germany collapsed It makes you wonder why he went to a free country Just to be killed of all things Did Mr.
Liebert have twins? Twins? Oh, I remember! Those twins that Mr.
Liebert adopted from the orphanage! Orphanage?! They were such cute kids Mr.
Liebert always wanted children.
W-Where is that orphanage?! Umm I think it was Hmm 511? Yes, that's right, I think it was 511 Kinderheim The site of this orphanage will soon be turned into a supermarket.
I'm relieved that this creepy building is finally going to be destroyed.
Excuse me, do you know anyone from this orphanage? Someone from here? There isn't anyone.
I don't want to talk about it.
It's so creepy.
B-But If you really want to find out, there's Hartmann over on 47th St.
, who worked at the old Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Hey there Do you know someone named Hartmann who lives around here? What's wrong? You're injured Let me take a look.
It's all right.
Don't be afraid.
Let me take a look.
You've injured a healing wound It's festering.
Suck it up! This will sting a little, but this will help you get better.
All right, that's good Don't trip! You'll get hurt again! Hartmann I became the foster parent to all those kids after the fall of East Germany.
Foster parent? Yes, I took care of them until they were adopted or went off on their own.
The president of an accessories company adopted the kid in the middle.
The kid to the left is in the military right now.
I'm even taking care of one right now.
It must be hard work.
I wouldn't call it work.
I worked for many years, dealing with orphans, as the district official for the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
I opposed the way that the government was treating them at the time.
After the fall of socialism, I wanted to help the children in my own way.
I'm poor and things haven't gone my way but, still, it's much better than the orphanages that they were in.
a special orphanage that was run by both the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of the Interior.
Well, all orphanages in East Germany were more or less like that, but special orphanages were the worst of them all It wasn't just an institution for children with nowhere to go It was a gathering for the children of criminals, captured political offenders, and the children of those suspected of being rebels and spies.
That's why it was expected that they would be discriminated against and treated inhumanely The children there couldn't do anything about their situation It was a clash between socialism and totalitarianism The government told the public that the orphans would be reeducated and turned into model socialists.
But in reality, they were treated like criminals.
The directors and instructors were horrible The worst ones would confiscate packages sent to the children and sell them.
Who were the real criminals? Fear and violence ruled the special orphanages.
No person would grow up normal there.
Then that incident happened Incident? What happened at that orphanage? You said that you wanted to ask me about the twins, didn't you? Do you know something about them?! I don't know much about the sister because she was left at an orphanage in a different district.
But I do know about the brother, Johan.
Johan! Yes, I want to know about Johan! It was It was top secret.
The East German government placed a strict gag order on it.
Well, it was a long time ago I think it's all right to talk about it What is this incident?! What did What did Johan do? A revolt I'm home Dieter, we have a guest.
Come and greet him.
Oh! Dieter, what's with your attitude? Aren't you going to greet him? I-It's okay.
We already met in front of the house.
Right? Oh I'd like to hear the rest.
No Not in front of the child.
Oh you're right.
It's already late so we should meet another day.
Dieter! Would you care to have dinner with us? S-Sure.
Mr.
Tenma, you say that you're a freelance journalist.
Does that mean that you're going to write an article about the things that you've investigated? Y-Yes, that's right.
Then, this is one thing I want you to emphasize The development of a child all depends on the adult that raises him.
We must lead children in the right direction.
That's when children can have pleasant dreams.
Dreams, huh-? Dieter, what dreams do you have? A soccer ball Huh? I want a soccer ball! Thank you for dinner.
I'd like to continue where we left off another time.
Sorry we couldn't finish our conversation.
I'll come again.
Perhaps I can come tomorrow.
Dieter Umm Excuse me.
Can I come in? Mr.
Hartmann! It's Tenma.
Mr.
Hartmann! Mr.
Hartmann! Mr.
Hartmann! What happened, Mr.
Hartmann! Mr.
Hartmann M-Mr.
Tenma Dieter! What happened? He fell.
He was standing on the chair and Oh, Dieter.
Ow ow, it hurts Where does it hurt, Dieter? It hurts Mr.
Hartmann, call an ambulance! O-Okay.
Dieter, let me take a look.
What are all these scars?! Is this it? Does it hurt here? Two ribs are broken And his clavicle is dislocated.
How did he get this injury from falling off a chair? The ambulance will be here soon, so it's all right.
O-Okay But what are all these injuries? I told you that it's all right So you can leave.
But The way you touch those injuries It's as if you're a doctor Oh well Tenma I thought I heard that name somewhere.
You're a doctor, aren't you? You're the one wanted for murder This injury Where are all these injuries on his body from? Nevermind that Shouldn't you be running away, Mr.
Tenma? I called the police along with the ambulance Mr.
Hartmann! I'm asking you how Dieter got all these injuries! It shouldn't matter to someone like you, who's wanted for murder.
It's just as I expected from a fugitive.
You're very short-tempered.
You did it, didn't you?! Did it? Did what? You were abusing Dieter.
Abusing? Don't say such ill willed things about me.
Right, Dieter? What do you plan to do? I'm going to take him to the hospital.
First murder, and now kidnapping? Don't move! You'll be caught even if you do that.
It's all right, Dieter! I'm going to get you to a hospital! I'm afraid of the hospital There's nothing to be afraid of! The doctors will get you better.
Mr.
Hartmann always makes me better You're covered in injuries You've never been to a hospital?! I'm afraid Right now, the world is full of bad things.
That's why I have to be strong! Strong Did Mr.
Hartmann tell you that? The world is dark The future is dark That's not true! It's a big lie that the world is dark! Really?! Yes, it's true.
Oh, I forgot.
Here A soccer ball.
Wow! Tomorrow will be a good day.
Sorry for coming at this hour.
It's all right But we're crowded with emergency cases at the moment.
It might take a while until we can see him.
Could you do something about that? - There was a very big accident.
- The bus driver died instantly.
We need to ask the truck driver about the circumstances of the accident.
He broke both his legs, but he can still talk, can't he? We have to treat him first.
Question him later.
- Then, we'll be waiting here.
- U-Umm I'll be back in two hours.
Huh? Please take care of that boy.
Also, please don't let anyone leave with him other than myself.
U-Umm Is the accident site cleaned up? No, it's still backed up Now then What should I do now? First, what to do with Dieter? Even if I go to the police I can't go with him.
I don't know much about Johan's sister because she was left at an orphanage in a different district.
A different orphanage That's it.
There's a child that you want me to take in? So, who are you? Why are you coming here at this hour? I know it's an unreasonable request, but this kid I know that the kid is being abused.
But if I don't know who you are Umm Well I can't take in a child from someone so suspicious.
U-Umm could this be the orphanage that took care of Anna Liebert? Anna Liebert? You know Anna Liebert? S-So Anna was here? Yes.
How nostalgic How is Anna doing? Is she well? Y-Yes.
Right now, she's going to Heidelberg University I see.
She's doing well! Anna was a nice girl I knew she was adopted by Mr.
Liebert of the Trade Commission along with her twin brother.
Umm What was his name? Yes, Johan, Johan.
They were very close, but I felt sorry for them when they were placed in separate orphanages.
Those two were really alone before they came here.
When they were taken into custody near the border of Czechoslovakia, they were holding hands as they walked.
They both were shivering in the cold.
At first, Mr.
Liebert only wanted to adopt Johan.
But Johan wouldn't go without his sister Thankfully, Anna got to be happy.
I heard that the conditions of the orphanages of the east side were horrible.
We're not like 511 Kinderheim.
Huh? Inge, the bathroom isn't that way.
Okay? See? Mommy It's all right.
It's all right There's nothing to be afraid of.
Now you can go to the bathroom by yourself, can't you? Those kids really did not know a parent's love.
You only need love in order to develop as a person.
As you say, the orphanages of the east side were quite horrible.
Even this place was once referred to as Orphanage 47.
But we did what we could so we wouldn't be controlled by the government, even just a little in order to avoid becoming like 511 Kinderheim.
It was a special orphanage run by both the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of the Interior.
Do you know what that means? No The real state of affairs was being managed by the Ministry of the Interior.
That place was East Germany's experimental laboratory A Little Experiment
It's a convenient twenty-minute drive from the center of Berlin; Former (East Berlin) in a well-located and nice neighborhood.
It's rare to find this sort of property on the former East side.
