Door: (knock knock)(knock knock)
	(knock knock knock)

Tenma: Ughh...
	Yes...?

Police: You must be Dr. Tenma. Pardon the intrusion, but have you been home all evening?

Tenma: Uh? Er... no, I was out drinking 'til early morning... What is it?

Police: Please don't be too shocked...
	Eisler Memorial Hospital Director Heinemann, Surgical Department Head Oppenheim and Dr. Boyer...

Kapitel 5. A Case of Murder

 - Page 113 -

[Eisler Memorial Hospital, Dusseldorf]

Police: We cannot let anyone other than police into the crime scene at this moment!!

Doctor: But that's going to impede the business of the hospital!!

Police: Just don't let the media in!!

Doctors: We simply must not have our patients being disturbed!!
	Was this an accident? Or murder?!
	The director was in his house, the other two were in the hospital, and they all died at the same time!! It has to be murder!!
	They say it was poisoning!!
	Aha!!

 - Page 114 -

Reporters: You are a doctor at the Eisler Memorial Hospital, correct?!
	Do you have any information regarding this incident?!

Tenma: Please, move!!
	Let me through!!

Officer: Hey, no entry!!

Tenma: I'm a doctor here: Kenzo Tenma!!

Officer: Oh... go right in.

Detective: And? Did you see any suspicious characters?

Doctor: Please, detective, this is not the time for that!!
	Ah!

Nurse: Dr. Tenma!!
	Dr. Tenma, the director...!!

Tenma: Everyone, settle down. We don't have any emergency patients being neglected, do we?!

 - Page 115 -

Doctor: W-well, you see...
	We've just been flooded with incoming patients, and Dr. Stern and the others are rushing about... We've got two people that are waiting for operations now...

Tenma: Okay, I'll perform on them!!

Doctor: Thank you, Doctor!! We've got someone with a head contusion from a traffic accident...

Tenma: Okay, let me see the pictures in the X-ray room! What's the other patient?
	(click)(click)(click)

Doctor: Ah, that one's a stroke...

Detective: Doctor! Could I ask for your help with the investigation?

Tenma: I don't have time for that right now!!

Detective: But the initial investigation is absolutely crucial!!
	Do you have any idea who might have held a grudge against the director and the others?

 - Page 116 -

<<Heinemann: Consider the doctor's path you have envisioned to be closed.

<<Oppenheim: You threw the teamwork out of order.

<<Boyer: Now get back to your position. Chief's orders.

Tenma: Ah...
	Please, I insist!! I MUST attend to the operation now!!

Detective: ...Hey!

Nurse: Dr. Tenma, we have to do something!!
	The children...
	The twin brother and sister...

 - Page 117 -

Nurse: They're gone.

 - Page 118 -

Doctor: And the girl's bed is empty, too?! Did you search the entire hospital?

Nurse: Yes, I did!! I checked everywhere, but...

 - Page 119 -

Tenma: {W-what is this...?!
	The sudden deaths... The children disappearing...
	What's going on?!
	What the hell happened here?!}

 - Page 120 -

Pastor: ...In his mercy, he extended a hand to many, many of the sick and suffering...
	We will forever remember the great achievements of his lifetime.
	Farewell, Dr. Heinemann. May you rest in peace. Amen.

Eva: Sniff...
	Sob... sob...
	Fatherrrr!!

 - Page 121 -

Eva: Aaaaahh!!

Tenma: Eva...

Norden: Eva.
	I know this is difficult, but you must take hold of yourself...

Eva: Let me go!!
	Give him back!! Give me my father back!!
	AAAAAAAAHHH!!

Becker: It's just too much, Dr. Tenma.

Tenma: Yes...

Becker: She was too used to having everything handed to her.
	But once the crown gets taken off your head and you turn into a normal person, ANYONE'd be screaming and crying.

Tenma: How can you talk about this now, Dr. Becker?

Becker: Sorry.

Weisbach: You must be Dr. Tenma.
	I'm Inspector Weisbach from the North Rhine-Westphalia Police Department.

Tenma: Oh, thank you for all your effort.

Weisbach: Such a tragic incident...

Tenma: Yes...

Weisbach: I'd like to introduce you to someone...

 - Page 123 -

Lunge: I am Inspector Lunge from the BKA.
	I've heard the rumors of the genius doctor.

Tenma: N-no, I'm nothing more than a junior member.

Lunge: (tap tap)

Tenma: Er... Have you discovered where the children are, yet?

Lunge: No, first we established the cause of death for the three deceased.
	We detected traces of nitric acid inside each of their bodies.

Tenma: Nitric acid... A muscle relaxant...

Lunge: Exactly. As accurate as a doctor ought to be. (tap tap)

 - Page 124 -

Tenma: And how was it administered...?

Lunge: Candy.

Tenma: Candy?

Lunge: The same candy wrappers were found near each of the bodies, and the contents of the same candy were found in each of their stomachs.
	Do you have any ideas about where they might have gotten these candies?

Tenma: I don't know anything about it.
	But the children... How is the search progressing?!

Lunge: There, there. (tap tap)
	The search has been transferred from the state police to the BKA. Do not worry.
	There is a possibility that this case may be connected back to the assassination of the twins' parents.
	The director and several high officials of the hospital where the children of fugitives from East Germany were kept were killed. We can suspect it may be an act of political terrorism.

 - Page 125 -

Lunge: Those children could represent a very important key in the case.

Tenma: Please, you must find them. They are not fully recovered yet.
	Goodbye.

Lunge: A Japanese doctor, in charge of the twins, removed from his position as chief surgeon by the director...
	And no longer engaged to the director's daughter...

Weisbach: But they say he is quite popular with all the patients at the hospital...
	And he does have an alibi. He was out hitting bars that night...

Lunge: (tap tap)

Weisbach: Er... May I ask you something? Those hand movements...

Lunge: Hmm? Oh, yes.

 - Page 126 -

Lunge: I'm hitting keys.

Weisbach: Huh?

Lunge: I'm entering every piece of information into the floppy disk in my head.
	If I press the keys to bring up the information I want...
	"N-no, I'm nothing more than a junior member."
	Those were the words Dr. Tenma muttered when I called him a genius.

Becker: The police... They don't suspect you, do they?

 - Page 127 -

Tenma: I guess I can't help but be suspected.

Becker: Don't worry. They've been bugging the hell outta me, too.

Tenma: Sigh.
	I'm so tired...
	I'm thinking of going back to Japan once this all dies down...

Becker: What?!

Tenma: I came here to Germany, full of ambition and the desire to do research...
	But thanks to this whole mess, I feel like I've gotten back to my true doctor's calling: to save lives...

Becker: Hey, stop talking like that.

Tenma: I'm just tired...
	Simply exhausted...

 - Page 128 -

Tenma: Your progress is looking excellent, Mr. Buchner.

Buchner: Thank you, Dr. Tenma. I hope I can get back to work again.

Tenma: Yes, of course.

Buchner: If I'm not in charge there, my shop'll go down the drain.

Tenma: As long as you don't overwork yourself like you've been doing.
	I'll come by for a drink sometime. To make sure that you're following my orders.

Buchner: Dr. Tenma...

Tenma: Yes?

Buchner: Are the rumors true...
	That you're leaving the hospital?

Tenma: What?

Buchner: Please, don't quit.

 - Page 129 -

Buchner: I've never met another doctor as good as you.
	Please don't say you're going to leave.
	Please...

Tenma: Mr. Buchner...

Nurse: Dr. Tenma!!
	The board chairman is calling you.
	They're having a meeting to discuss the succession of personnel.
	Previously, the director's faction has always decided the major posts, so it sounds like there's a major purge going on.

 - Page 130 -

Nurse: They say Dr. Eckener is going to be moved to a small hospital in Bavaria...

Tenma: I see...

Nurse: Oh, Dr. Tenma... Please stay here, no matter what the chairman says!!
	Don't leave the hospital!!
	We're all behind you!!
	Please don't leave!!

 - Page 131 -

Tenma: What?

Chairman: I'll say it once more. I place merit on competence and ability.
	Dr. Tenma...
	I'm appointing you head of the surgical department.

 - Page 132 -

Tenma: What a life...
	{I disobey the director's orders, I get removed from chief cranial surgeon, I lose my engagement with Eva...
	And just when I decide that I want to pursue a life as a doctor totally unhampered by career and advancement...}
	Heh...
	Heheheh...
	Hahahaha...
	(flop)

 - Page 133 -

Tenma: What a...
	What a life!!
	Hahahaha!!
	HAHAHAHAHA!!

Eva: I'm sorry for calling you out like this.
	I heard you were promoted to the head of the surgical department.
	That's wonderful!! I'm really happy for you.

Tenma: Thank you.

 - Page 134 -

Eva: Kenzo... You tried to comfort me when I was crying at Father's funeral service.

Tenma: It was... nothing.

Eva: I was very happy...
	I know a lot has passed between us, but...
	I want to get back together.
	Kenzo!!

 - Page 135 -

Eva: Kenzo!
	Please!! It was all my fault!!
	I want to get back together, Kenzo!!
	Kenzo!!
	KENZOOOO!!

 - Page 136 -

Doctor: We have a patient with a spinal chord tumor...
	He just recently advanced into a sudden state of paralysis...

Tenma: I understand. I'll do the op.

Doctor: Thank you, sir!!

Tenma: Get the operation prepared!!
