Tell me.

I think it's the flu.

Does your throat hurt?

A little.

Lower your trousers

and lie down, please.

What?

Lower your trousers and lie down.

Okay.

That's good enough.

Raise your knees a bit.

You're not shy, are you!

Your lymph glands are a bit swollen.

Fine, thank you.

What do you want at this hour?

Sorry. This won't take long.

Ten minutes, and that's all!

Listen...

you don't think it might be

some kind of hypnosis, do you?

Huh?

You know, someone looks

at a flashing light...

then does whatever

someone else tells them?

"Hypnotic suggestion."

Is it possible?

What do you think?

You're the only one I dare ask.

Well?

Got some new evidence?

Just an idea.

Hypnotism itself is

a very common technique.

But even if you manage

to hypnotize someone...

you can't change

their basic moral sense.

A person who thinks murder is evil

won't kill anyone...

under hypnotic suggestion.

Could you induce someone to cut

in that "X" pattern?

It would take forever to get

a suggestion like that into place.

It's impossible?

I didn't say that...

if the hypnotist was a genius.

But why would someone do that?

I don't know.

A thrill killing?

Some thrill that'd be!

You said yourself that no one knows

what motivates a criminal.

Mr. Oida, do you know where the stuff

for the Ward Office is?

The right-hand shelf.

Yeah, here it is.

Like I said.

Be right back.

Come in.

Sorry I'm late.

That's all right.

Did something happen?

I got lost.

Lost?

Yes.

Did you come another way?

I don't know. Suddenly I just

didn't know where I was.

How did you get here, then?

I don't know.

Suddenly I was in front

of the hospital.

Well, it all worked out

for the best.

You got here.

Yes.

That book...

It's Bluebeard.

Do you remember it?

No, I've never seen it before.

There's nothing physically wrong.

Just a sprained ankle.

Nothing to worry about.

So how's your memory?

Tomorrow we'll move you to a hospital

with a proper psychiatric department.

Sure.

How far back do you remember?

I remember talking to you.

Any worries?

Worries? About what?

You're quite calm.

You're the one with worries.

Sorry?

May I smoke?

There's no smoking here.

I see.

What do you mean, I have worries?

Uh, what?

I forget.

Water.

Doctor, can I tell you something?

Certainly.

All the things that

used to be inside me...

now they're all outside.

So...

I can see all of the things

inside you, Doctor.

But the inside of me...

is empty.

Don't look at me.

Now you tell me about yourself.

About me? What about me?

Why you became a doctor.

Why?

You're just a woman.

Why did you become a doctor?

Just a woman?

That's what people said, isn't it?
