Zero no Shinjitsu (ゼロの真実)

Eric Paroissien subtitles

The medical examiner is the last to take care of a person.

The medical examiner...

Determines the correct cause of death to return dignity to the dead...

He connects that single death to the many lives he left behind.

All the unnatural deaths within the 23 wards of Tokyo...

Come to the medical examiner first...

And if there is suspicion of crime...

They're sent to the Forensic Department at the University for autopsy...

Other non-criminal cases Such as accidental death or suicide...

Undergo administrative autopsy at the Medical Examiner's Office.

This way, 14,000 bodies are examined each year...

while 2500 undergo autopsy.

There.

Alright. Over there?

At the end, right? OK.

I'm sorry... Akira. I'm sorry...

Excuse me.

Medical Examiner's Office. Good morning.

The mother discovered the body.

I arrived this morning He was dead in his bed.

Sorry, ma'am.

We need you to move away.

This way please, ma'am.

There's rigidity in the fingertips. Yes.

He died 10 to 12 hours ago. Yes.

Tweezers. Alright.

Eyelid.

Blood pressure in vascular and bulbar conjunctiva are both high.

The nose, now. He left something like a suicide note...

The mother entered with her key it was locked.

No money was taken. the bed is undisturbed.

A suicide? So young...

Suicide? Where? Here?

Why is that? There is nothing in this room!

I don't know... administrative autopsy. Right.

Good morning. Good morning.

Obviously, it takes more time for rookies.

1, 2, 3!

Excuse me.

If you're tired I take over?

Don't treat me like I'm old!

Matsumoto, you can do it. Alright.

"Segawa Akira, 28 years old"

His mother found him in his apartment in Suginami-ward

He was not breathing she called an ambulance but he died soon.

"Cause of death unknown"

Something caused death.

Doctor Indene didn't find it during examination.

Your autopsy should tell. An exciting assignment, no doubt.

I'm starting. With your agreement.

Please.

I'm home. Good evening.

Today, we had so many examinations...

One of them turned into an autopsy this morning.

Luckily just one body.

The number of autopsy is steadily increasing...

But there are not enough medical examiners.

In the same way that public works increase but the manpower doesn't.

There are so many absurd situations that complaining wouldn't change anything.

I'm so sensitive.

You too chief should take a shift for autopsies.

You're good at autopsy. There are only 3 autopsy table.

If you helped here...

One more could go and help for examinations outside...

Workflow would become smooth.

I graduated from Tokyo University, you know? So?

Come on. -I'll perform the autopsy.

Mr. Hosaka. -Yes.

Everyone is gone...

Akiyama (Reiko) is here.

Darn, I missed.

Somehow... the atmosphere is not good.

Before it used to be a good and peaceful workplace.

Is it true that Chief Izumisawa...

Is going back to Tokyo University Forensics?

That's tough. Sure is.

Mr. Iwamatsu seems to plan to follow him there?

That's stupid.

No bleeding or foreign body in the nasal cavity.

No bleeding or foreign body in the oral cavity.

No hemorrhage in the labial mucosa.

Yeah.

You're dedicated, Hosaka.

If I go back home I'm bored.

You talk like this, I pity your poor wife.

This poor boy wrote: "I'm lame."...

He filled his notebook with it.

They found a suicide note?

Can't say if it's a diary or a suicide note.

So is it suicide?

But there are no suicide traces...

Indene said only the autopsy would tell.

Surely, we can't see traces of suicide but...

I'm sorry...

Young people don't have much fire anymore.

Some do have fire...

I perform a midline incision from the neck. Alright.

No hemorrhage in the pleural epicardial trachea.

The kidneys, liver and lungs have a congestion.

This is not 's suicide is it ischemic heart failure.

In such case the coronary artery would harden...

The heart would be larger, there would be line on the surface

I think it is not ischemic heart failure.

When young people die in their sleep...

One thinks of arrhythmia?

If arrhythmia caused death...

The lymph and thymus would be swollen but I don't see it.

Matsumoto, sometimes we must admit our limits.

I consider this autopsy done. I'm not done yet.

It's possible that your skipping three school years...

Gave you a feeling of limitless power. It's unhealthy.

Unveiling what caused death is the duty of the medical examiner.

You know who you're talking to!

Temper, temper!

You're just looking go reprimand her?

She's not in her right mind.

Always a pleasure !

Your legs are as pretty as ever!

Dr. Indene is not your ATM.

And you, how come you have so much money?

I have always been wondering.

No need to be an asshole.

Miss. indene "sock-stoppers"...

I'm only asking her for $5,000

She's a gorgeous bank! She's my main bank.

A real bank would not lend money...

To someone who can't give it back.

I'm outa' here. Good evening .

What a dense dude.

I feel lucky for the horse race tomorrow...

How about $5,000?

Even $3,000 would do!

You're pretty from the back too!

Yes, please! Let me get that door!

I don't want to bother but...

Wouldn't it be better to give the body back to his mother at this point?

In tears this morning she's waiting alone in that apartment...

For her son's body I think.

We need to analyze the content of the stomach.

Forgive me.

I seems you can't go home today.

A police officer staring at women' s back...

How did you get addicted to gambling?

No comment.

Did your wife run away?

My wife? Can't recall if I ever was married.

Miss Indene.

What are the circumstances of this death?

First floor apartment in his bed...

His mother was crying, saying: "I'm sorry." -And that's it.

Nothing more than what we recorded.

How about saying: "Sorry I interrupted your conversation."?

Sorry I interrupted your conversation.

Zero Truth

Segawa in 105 Was it a suicide?

I don't know. But he won't make a mess with his garbage anymore...

Ain't it great? Sure. Otaku as he was...

What a creepy character he was!

That lady... wait...

So see you later.

Later...

Mrs. Segawa.

A friend of Akira?

Sorry... I'm nosy.

Are You with the police?

No, I'm the medical examiner.

I'm the one who killed Akira.

How did you kill him?

He started to live here alone when he came at the university...

For some reason he stopped going to classes...

He started to live the life of a recluse in this apartment.

I was taking care of him, but...

He was now 28...

I thought he couldn't be living with his parent's help forever...

My husband and I were worried and could not sleep...

That evening we ended up quarreling.

"There's something wrong with me."

Is that going to last forever?

Dad and Mom...

Aren't going to be there forever

"Please, get your act together."

I'm fine.

How fine are you?

You're not fine at all!

Hello?

are you hungry? Even hungry you won't do anything?

Even if you're hungry I won't give you any more money...

From now on, manage on your own.

Mom and dad...

Won't be around now, live your own life.

ANd this is my last phone call.

"I don't send money anymore."

"If you died I wouldn't know."

"Got it?"

"If you died I wouldn't know."

I thought about my sentence all night...

So yesterday morning...

I came by the first train.

At what point did his life turn so wrong?
