An incredible world record has been set.


01:05
Seven meters cleared! The first time ever!
01:12
Nicholas Doris, the star from out of nowhere!
01:17
On the verge of retirement...
01:19
a remarkable comeback.
01:22
Superjump!
01:26
The Lord giveth...
01:28
to foolish mankind, a shining road to choose...
01:59
It's unbelievable!
02:00
Her time is faster than the men's world record!
02:06
9.61 seconds!
02:07
An incredible new record in the women's 100m!
02:12
Doctor! Doctor!
02:16
Isn't it fantastic?
02:19
All these new world records!
02:22
Super records one after another!
02:27
So what?
02:29
Well...
02:30
It's time to leave.
02:33
Everyone but you is so excited about the Olympics!
02:42
You have a temperature.
02:46
Doctor.
02:50
I'll be away for 3 days.
02:57
Take an aspirin every 4 hours.
03:00
Pinoko over and out.
03:07
The winner of the 100m is a 15 year old girl.
03:11
- I feel great! - No doubt!
03:19
In the men's 400m freestyle,
03:21
a miracle is about to happen!
03:24
25 seconds shaved with 100m to go.
03:27
Another world record!
03:37
Another super record has been made!
03:49
- Heparin, 3mg. - It's in.
03:52
- Fill with lactate. - OK.
03:55
Scalpel.
04:08
There's the tumor.
04:12
Tumor removed.
04:20
A stupendous Olympic Games.
04:22
Marking the way to 21st century achievements!
04:38
Ten unbelievable new records were set in events...
04:42
including athletics, field and swimming.
04:48
Doctor Black Jack.
04:52
Here's your fee for your operation.
04:56
$150,000.
04:59
I usually prefer a bank transfer.
05:04
But obviously you don't want to leave...
05:08
evidence of your hospital's involvement with me.
05:23
Look at those muscles working!
05:27
Heights once thought to be physically impossible.
05:31
We're seeing them live.
05:36
All experts believe that...
05:38
there are physical limits to the human body's capabilities.
05:43
But that belief is now being challenged.
05:48
Are these the people we have dreamt of for the 21st century?
05:53
And if that's the case, it means...
05:57
the birth of Super-Humans.
06:00
Super-Humans!
06:02
We're seeing a major spurt in human evolution.
06:05
We're witnessing the birth of the Super-Humans!
08:07
Darn!
08:15
Doctor! The phone is ringing!
08:21
If you wish to be examined, please leave your name, place,
08:26
medical condition and the amount of payment.
08:31
We will contact you.
08:38
0880-258-7101...
08:43
Please call me.
08:45
I am preparing a check in your name, Doctor.
08:51
That's her 5th call.
08:54
0880-258-7101.
09:00
I memorized it!
09:05
Won't you call her?
09:08
No name and no medical history.
09:11
No reason to call her.
09:13
If you say so...
09:18
Two years have passed since the Olympics.
09:41
In the intervening two years the Super-Humans have...
09:46
reached beyond the world of sports,
09:50
into music, art and literature.
09:53
In physics and science...
09:56
In all fields of human endeavor new limits have been set.
10:15
My name is Roger Siegel.
10:17
You may remember me.
10:19
Two years ago you operated on my daughter, Lisa.
10:27
She's had a relapse!
10:30
A relapse?
10:32
But everything went perfectly.
10:35
Doctor, we need your help!
10:39
It's not possible.
10:54
Thank God you're here, Doctor!
11:07
She's in critical condition!
11:10
Bring my medicines!
11:11
Got it! This and this...
11:16
Why isn't she in the hospital?
11:21
She was only released yesterday.
11:24
Five days ago she was well.
11:27
"Just needs rest", they said.
11:31
Call an ambulance!
11:36
Doctor... Doctor Black Jack.
11:42
You're also a Super-Human.
11:46
I'm sure you can cure me.
12:01
No mistake, it was a relapse.
12:05
You can see the tumor here.
12:11
But it wasn't malignant.
12:13
The biopsy was correct. I don't believe this.
12:18
I know how you feel.
12:22
But Lisa was an exception.
12:26
First she was bleeding from her colon.
12:31
Then it progressed to renal failure.
12:34
Next it was her blood.
12:37
Finally, enlargement of the liver.
12:40
There was no logical reason for any of it.
12:48
I want to be at the autopsy.
13:01
She died of heart failure.
13:04
But the autopsy results were unbelievable.
13:09
All of her internal organs,
13:13
were in a totally unexpected condition.
13:17
A fourteen year old girl had the organs...
13:21
of a frail and worn-out 90 year old woman.
13:27
Over the past two years,
13:29
her body had aged some 80 years.
13:34
When I operated on her two years ago,
13:37
her internal organs were fresh and pink.
13:46
Doctor, please wait.
13:50
Please...
13:53
Take this as our thanks.
13:55
It was Lisa's last painting.
13:58
I can't accept it. I couldn't save her.
14:02
But Doctor, it would make us feel better.
14:06
I'll return my fee of $150,000.
14:11
Doctor.
14:12
Come on, Pinoko.
14:18
Take care!
14:21
But it's such a wonderful painting.
14:32
No one is available.
14:34
If you wish to be examined, please leave your name,
14:38
and details of your medical condition.
14:41
0880-258-7101.
14:45
I'm expecting your call. My name is Jo Carol.
14:51
Let us share a dream.
15:10
At school I was always the smallest.
15:15
I hated math and scored zero on my tests.
15:24
I had no friends...
15:26
I played alone down on the waterfront.
15:31
At twelve, my mother abandoned my sister and me.
15:38
But the mark I set at 7 meters,
15:42
is the jump I have made from that childhood.
15:46
As we approach the 21st century,
15:48
a glorious future ahead...
15:51
Let me ride on your dreams.
15:54
Thank you!
16:03
A round of applause for Super-Human Nicholas Doris!
16:10
He's sweating heavily.
16:14
I'll be back by morning.
16:16
Sure.
16:28
The Super-Human phenomenon ushers in a new age...
16:42
Yes?
16:44
We have just learned...
16:47
He is here in New York.
16:50
In New York?
16:57
He checked into the Royal Hotel 3 days ago.
17:00
He's conducting an operation at 8 o'clock tonight.
17:04
Which hospital?
17:06
St. Kilda's Hospital.
17:19
Data check.
17:21
Pulse is steady at 60. BP is 100/50.
17:29
You'll have to go in through the lungs.
17:33
Let me do it.
17:37
No way. You'll damage the lymph nodes.
17:42
Don't!
18:01
You're very good with a scalpel.
18:04
But no one interferes when I'm operating.
18:11
What's the meaning?
18:14
First explain why you don't return my calls.
18:21
0880-258-7101.
18:28
So finally I get to meet you.
18:37
The unlicensed but famed Dr. Black Jack.
18:41
You're very persistent.
18:44
That's because I need your help.
18:48
I must refuse.
18:51
Without even asking why?
18:54
I never give reasons why I accept or refuse.
18:58
That is a problem.
19:00
Your daughter feels differently.
19:04
What's that?
19:05
She's left the Royal Hotel for a vacation with my associate.
19:12
Pinoko?
19:21
Royal Hotel.
19:23
Room 3012.
19:24
One moment.
19:41
It's interesting work.
19:43
I refuse!
19:45
0880-258-7101.
19:49
We'll take good care of your daughter.
19:55
You'll be the one to save the Super-Humans.
20:04
Save the Super-Humans?
20:17
Doctor, we have guests.
20:21
I'm busy. Tell them I'm out.
20:25
I'm sorry, he's not here.
20:34
No mistake!
20:39
Yes, Doctor, we have searched for you.
20:44
Here are our business cards.
20:48
Art dealers?
20:50
Since we learned the picture was in your possession,
20:54
we have searched high and low for you.
21:02
I'll pay $250,000!
21:04
I'll pay $500,000!
21:06
I'll pay cash.
21:09
That's enough! Go away!
21:17
Why is it worth so much?
21:23
You don't know?
21:25
The young girl who painted it...
21:29
Works by Super-Humans are in much demand.
21:44
I want an explanation.
21:50
Want your steak rare, or medium-rare?
22:00
Her name is Jo Carol.
22:11
Chief Scientist's office, St. Joel Research Center.
22:17
Be at the Center tomorrow at 11.
22:21
It's easier to explain if you see the patients.
22:26
Patients?
22:28
Yes, there are 20 of them.
22:33
All Super-Humans?
22:39
Just remember this,
22:40
Pinoko's safety comes before any contract.
22:58
He's here. Let him in.
23:15
First, let me assure you about Pinoko.
23:21
Hi, Doctor! How are you?
23:24
I'm having great fun!
23:27
I'm having a lovely time here in Hawaii.
23:33
I wanted you to come, too.
23:36
But urgent work suddenly came up, right?
23:39
Good luck!
23:42
This morning we transferred $2 million to your bank account.
23:56
Look.
24:02
That's Nicholas Doris!
24:03
Yes, the pole vault Olympic gold medallist.
24:11
Bring up a thermograph and his data.
24:15
Yes, ma'am.
24:26
He's severely dehydrated.
24:29
A typical symptom of this condition.
24:36
This case is even worse.
24:42
He's losing 50cc's of blood a minute.
24:47
If we stop the transfusions...
24:49
he'll bleed to death within 30 minutes.
24:56
He's a musical genius and has been here for 6 months.
25:09
Another gold medalist.
25:18
Born in Eastern Europe,
25:20
she didn't run until she was 12 years old.
25:24
Suddenly at 13 she set a new world record.
25:28
An Olympic entrant at 15.
25:31
Then she ran 9.61 in the finals.
25:37
She beat the men's record.
25:44
But now she's here...
25:48
She has diarrhea and is severely anorexic.
25:58
We need your help.
26:00
You're the only one who can save them.
26:04
Please help me.
26:15
Two years ago, when the Super-Humans first emerged.
26:19
The world has changed.
26:22
The sports heroes and geniuses have all...
26:26
fallen to an unknown disease.
26:29
They're secretly held at this research center.
26:51
We've had a total of forty patients.
26:55
Seventeen have already died.
26:58
Just counting the ones we know,
27:01
there are 1,230 of these Super-Humans in the world.
27:06
One of these was a patient of yours.
27:11
Lisa Siegel?
27:13
Yes.
27:19
This is your room.
27:21
1,230, you said?
27:23
Yes.
27:24
And they'll all fall victim?
27:27
Those 1,230 are only the ones we know of.
27:30
There could be ten times that many.
27:37
So that's it...
27:40
Super-Humanism is actually a disease.
27:45
The disease attack the organs,
27:48
the nerves, the blood and every cell in the body.
27:51
Leading to massive organ failure and death.
27:56
We have called the condition the Moira Syndrome.
28:00
Moira Syndrome?
28:02
From the Greek goddess who spins the threads of life.
28:07
We wish to find a cure for the disease.
28:11
But it must be a secret.
28:13
We must avoid a panic.
28:29
Let me introduce...
28:31
Doctor Black Jack.
28:34
He will join our project starting today.
28:38
Professor Michigan from Kent Sate.
28:41
I've heard a lot about you.
28:44
Some years ago, you carried out...
28:46
a glioblastoma that they said was impossible.
28:51
Dr. Els, the eminent bacteriologist.
28:54
- Pleased to meet you. - My pleasure.
28:57
Dr. Takemoto, a neurologist from Tokyo.
29:04
The brain surgeon, Dr. Eric Caderry.
29:07
He'll join your team.
29:10
Here is your assistant, Miss Betty McCall.
29:13
A first class anesthesiologist.
29:17
- Pleased to meet you. - My pleasure.
29:20
I have a question.
29:22
Is it true you're unlicensed,
29:24
yet you charge astronomical fees?
29:29
It's true.
29:31
He brags about it!
29:37
Emergency in room 12!
29:40
I can still run!
29:42
Let me go!
29:46
That first night at 2:35 am,
29:49
the gold medalist, Ellen Shryer, died.
30:18
After 17 short years of life,
30:21
the girl who set the 9.61 record,
30:24
ran into a wall and killed herself.
30:41
Give the peace sign.
30:55
Popcorn with caramel.
30:58
Where did you go today?
31:00
The zoo, Fantasy Park and Sea World.
31:05
I want to ride the star-rocket.
31:07
All right, let's both ride it.
31:18
As for Dr. Black Jack,
31:21
he's busy with his latest research.
31:25
Is he eating well?
31:27
Don't worry. There are people taking care of him.
31:31
He still has some very difficult work to do.
31:36
Sometimes he needs a break from my care.
31:41
I really do spoil him far too much.
31:53
Ellen's autopsy report.
31:57
Bring up the data on her liver.
32:07
Enlarge the image.
32:12
All organs show signs of advanced aging.
32:17
Her death was only a matter of time.
32:22
The adrenal gland shows advanced aging,
32:25
and is considerably swollen.
32:29
The colon is half-rotted through.
32:34
The organs rot within the body while they're alive.
32:39
Her brain scan.
32:50
Unlicensed, is he?
32:53
I chose the best man for the job.
32:59
The best also brings danger with it.
33:02
He could cause trouble.
33:06
You don't need to worry.
33:08
The MSJ are investigating.
33:11
You'd better be careful they don't come here.
33:16
Don't worry.
33:19
Your eyes are so cold. They're unbearable.
33:26
We're running out of time!
33:35
Brane Pharmaceuticals?
33:37
It's true. You don't know anything.
33:40
This entire research center, from the land to the salaries,
33:45
are all paid for by Brane Pharmaceuticals.
33:49
All of the doctors in our team,
33:52
have some sort of ties to Brane.
33:57
That woman, Miss Jo Carol.
34:00
Her full name is Jo Carol Brane.
34:03
Adopted daughter of the chairman.
34:11
She's the undisputed head of this whole facility.
34:24
The patient in room 7 is fibrillating.
34:30
Prepare to operate.
34:33
Dr. Black Jack will operate.
34:36
An honor, sir.
34:38
How's the anesthetic?
34:39
Stable, he's ready to go.
34:42
All ready, Doctor.
35:09
I have an hypothesis...
35:11
on the mechanism of the Moira Syndrome.
35:21
The patients all share one common condition.
35:24
They're all Super-Humans.
35:27
None of them were born into that condition.
35:33
What causes them to suddenly develop such talents?
35:37
What is the bodily mechanism?
35:42
I suspect it is a result of endorphins...
35:45
coming from the hypothalamic regions of the brain-stem.
35:52
It's known as a natural narcotic and high levels in the body...
35:58
cause concentration level to rise.
36:01
Extraordinary talents develop.
36:08
If these high concentrations continue,
36:12
the organs would shatter.
36:15
I suspect something in the pituitary gland is responsible.
36:21
You'd like to take a look?
36:25
Exactly.
36:27
Amazing. You found this out after only a week?
36:33
It's only a theory.
36:35
I'll call a staff meeting.
36:38
Wait.
36:39
What's Brane's involvement in this?
36:44
You've told me nothing.
36:47
Brane Pharmaceuticals is a major company...
36:51
but this facility is donated to health research.
36:55
It's totally non-profit.
37:02
I agree with your basic premise,
37:05
but with the brain stem, one slip can prove fatal.
37:11
That's why Dr. Black Jack should operate.
37:16
Have you chosen the patient?
37:31
The operation is at eight tomorrow.
37:34
Nicholas Doris.
37:36
I see.
37:39
Take a look at this. It's very important.
38:10
Stop the project?
38:11
Yes, I'll let you know when to start again.
38:15
Keep the minimum needed to operate.
38:19
Send everyone else back home.
38:22
When will we re-start?
38:25
At longest about six months, but hopefully one month.
38:32
Cease all operations!
38:37
Stop those machines.
38:57
Make it hotter.
39:17
I'm Dr. Black Jack. I'll operate on you tomorrow.
39:22
Will I ever jump again?
39:26
So far you've removed my stomach, opened my heart,
39:30
taken out my blood and liver.
39:33
So many operations.
39:35
But I still can't even hold my pole.
39:40
Next it's my brain!
39:43
I'm no guinea pig!
39:46
Didn't you agree to this operation?
39:49
Yes. With the following condition.
39:53
If the operation fails, please erase my memory.
39:58
The glory of that 7m. Jump is too much to bear.
40:05
You don't want to contact your family?
40:10
I don't want them to see me like this.
40:14
There's a statue of me in my home town.
40:24
Have you looked at it yet?
40:27
No, not yet.
40:53
Fools! You'll stop his breathing.
41:02
I'm sorry, he's dead.
41:05
Prepare the next patient.
41:08
I refuse to operate.
41:10
It's too dangerous.
41:13
Continue.
41:15
We need data while they're still alive.
41:24
Their experimental operation is totally unforgivable.
41:32
Probably on Super-Humans who were not on the list.
41:41
No matter the reasons,
41:44
no one has the right to experiment on living people.
42:16
Tell me what's going on!
42:19
MSJ investigation.
42:22
In the interest of medical ethics, we're taking control.
42:32
Did you check the evidence?
42:37
We're the fighting doctors from the MSJ.
42:41
We're a volunteer group of doctors...
42:45
who rescue the weak from unscrupulous governments...
42:48
and other entities.
42:51
Arrest the leader.
42:53
Miss Jo Carol Brane.
42:58
You'd better hurry.
43:25
Attention all doctors and nurses.
43:29
This facility has been occupied by members of the MSJ.
43:34
We'll be in charge of the entire facility for the time being.
43:39
Our main purpose is to protect patients...
43:43
and offer sound medicine care.
43:47
All those who wish to help, come forward.
43:51
We will gladly accept you into our ranks.
43:55
To avoid outside interference and pressure,
44:00
all those who resist will be taken into custody.
44:05
Doctor.
44:07
We can count on your cooperation, can't we?
44:11
We need your expertise.
44:18
Jo Carol.
44:21
Number 7101.
44:24
I warned you to be careful of the MSJ.
44:28
I expected trouble at the factory...
44:31
so I closed down operations.
44:34
It's well-known that your staff has been infiltrated by the MSJ.
44:40
Pressure the mayor to bring in the national guard.
44:45
Without that, our research will stop.
44:48
No, they'd learn far too much.
44:53
If your experiments become known, we're finished.
44:57
They won't find much.
45:02
What is it that's made you so insane, 7101?
45:10
Your project is over. Forever!
45:12
Please wait, Mr. Brane!
45:14
You're relieved of your position.
45:22
MSJ American Bridge Leader, Thomas Johnson.
45:27
I'm a psychiatrist based in Vancouver.
45:31
We'll begin the operation at 8pm tonight.
45:35
Certainly, Doctor.
45:37
Is this a CT-scan of Nicholas?
45:40
There is some very important information I must tell you...
45:45
before you operate.
45:50
We have evidence that all the Moira Syndrome patients...
45:54
have had some link to Brane Co. Over the past 5 years.
46:00
A link?
46:02
Brane operates over 300 hospitals in 60 cities worldwide.
46:08
All patients here have been treated at those facilities.
46:15
Unfortunately, none of the patients have agreed to talk.
46:20
If we can get one to speak up, the WHT will agree to step in.
46:27
We must learn what Brane has been up to.
46:30
You expect Nicholas to tell you?
46:35
If there's a chance...
46:37
Saving his life comes first.
46:41
Let's begin.
46:51
Well, Fendy?
46:54
Any changes?
46:56
Not at all.
47:00
I have tickets. Go to the airport.
47:04
Certainly, ma'am.
47:07
I'll meet you later.
47:09
Get a room with a view.
47:12
We're going to the Mediterranean?
47:59
Brain wave?
48:01
No change.
48:04
Something around here, the hypothalamus.
48:09
I suspected an abnormality.
48:13
So I cut there.
48:18
I was sure I'd find something.
48:22
The reason was,
48:23
I'd seen the same scalpel marks...
48:27
on the evidence from the diskette.
48:31
The average surgeon wouldn't operate on the pituitary...
48:36
unless a life was in danger.
48:40
Slip one millimeter...
48:42
and the patient would be dead.
48:46
But still, I went in.
48:49
I gambled on my skills.
48:54
With less than a 1% chance of success...
48:56
150% effort can bring victory.
49:05
There's nothing abnormal here.
49:09
Good color and shape, too.
49:12
Prepare for electric fibrillation.
49:18
I saw them do that on the diskette.
49:28
When the shock was applied...
49:31
something in the brain glowed.
49:36
It wasn't very clear,
49:39
but something flashed from the pituitary.
49:44
Ready, Doctor.
49:50
Start at 50 joules.
50:02
Crank it up another 25.
50:04
Up to 75 joules.
50:08
Up 75 joules.
50:16
That's it!
50:18
A tumor?
50:21
Scalpel.
50:49
Have this tested immediately.
51:06
The results, Doctor.
51:13
It can't be!
51:16
Doctor, he's regained consciousness!
51:26
Blood pressure is at 100/60. Pulse rate is 90.
51:30
The operation was a success.
51:33
It's too early to say.
51:34
The patient is still not back to normal.
51:39
Am I no longer a Super-Human?
51:45
We don't know yet.
51:48
We removed something from your pituitary.
51:51
It stimulated the gland to produce overdoses of endorphins.
51:56
I'm no longer a Super-Human.
52:01
The constant burning sensation is gone.
52:10
I don't want to be normal!
52:13
What did Brane Pharmaceuticals do to you?
52:34
Endorph-A...
52:56
7101.
53:00
You were just one point away from failing.
53:06
You need to work harder.
53:16
There must be...
53:18
Surely there is...
53:21
My own path in life.
53:51
I knew you'd try to contact me.
53:56
I'm glad I stayed in New York.
53:58
Of course. You still have Pinoko.
54:07
She's fine. Believe me.
54:11
You have no choice.
54:18
Please, sit down.
54:21
You'll get Pinoko back.
54:25
I'm not stupid enough to make you my enemy.
54:29
I've long wanted to work alongside you.
54:34
Then and now.
54:37
I'll never work with people who conduct living experiments.
54:57
I found this in his brain.
55:01
It's a new virus.
55:04
A virus?
55:06
It's probably what is causing the Moira Syndrome.
55:11
A virus, no wonder we couldn't find it.
55:15
It was in behind the lateral exon.
55:20
I only discovered it by chance.
55:26
Where did the virus come from?
55:29
Tell me what it is you're hiding.
55:32
Here's to your discovery!
55:39
What is Endorph-A?
55:42
It's a new drug that I developed.
55:46
A drug?
55:49
Please, drink up.
55:51
It's lonely drinking alone.
56:03
Endorph-A...
56:05
It stimulates the brain to over-produce endorphins...
56:10
which creates the Super-Humans.
56:15
This is Endorph-A concentrate.
56:23
I began this Endorph-A project 5 years ago.
56:27
Two years ago it was proven at the Olympics.
56:31
Everything went perfectly.
56:34
So they were just experiments to you?
56:38
To ensure the best results...
56:40
we selected very ordinary people as subjects.
56:45
We contracted with each of them for a fantastic sum.
56:51
How many?
56:54
At first it was only 20.
56:56
But the rumor spread.
56:59
It could pass any of the doping tests.
57:03
It was a dream drug.
57:05
In the end we had 153 people under contract.
57:09
Liar! At least 1,230 of them are on your list!
57:16
We couldn't believe it ourselves.
57:25
Then it began to induce progressive multiple organ failure.
57:30
For some reason it appeared contagious.
57:34
It's a virus, of course it is contagious.
57:41
It's a death-drug!
57:44
Paying them gives you no right to kill!
57:48
Don't you feel any sense of responsibility?
57:54
You'll never be forgiven!
57:59
Jo Carol Brane! You caused this disease!
58:06
But there's still hope.
58:09
If the virus can be neutralized; its effects minimized...
58:13
Endorph-A will be the new super drug!
58:18
What?
58:36
Black Jack, Black Jack!
58:40
You and I are fated to fight the Moira Syndrome together.
58:47
Which of us will catch it first?
58:51
I put some Endorph-A into the wine we just shared.
59:21
The Brane Co. Was raided today by the Medical Soldiers for Justice.
59:30
As a result, the ministry,
59:32
and various international bodies have begun to move.
59:37
Some Moira Syndrome patients were rescued.
59:43
I knew nothing of it!
59:45
Do those making these charges have a shred of proof?
59:53
Any evidence will prove the New Drug Group is responsible.
60:05
They're saying that you're ill.
60:09
I'm a little feverish.
60:11
- A cold? - No, I'm just tired.
60:21
An insider from Brane.
60:23
A member of their development team.
60:25
He was Jo Carol's immediate assistant.
60:32
He's agreed to talk in return for immunity.
60:40
It began six years ago.
60:44
At a car endurance rally.
60:47
20 days in the broiling Sebian desert.
60:50
One of the drivers was Michael Jean.
60:53
Somehow Michael became lost in the desert.
61:01
He was rescued some two weeks later.
61:06
His navigator was dead...
61:09
Michael miraculously survived.
61:12
But the real miracle became apparent later.
61:16
He began racing F1's.
61:19
His driving was superb.
61:23
Out of 16 world championships, Michael won 10.
61:27
Only a year earlier he was a B-grade rally-driver.
61:30
Jo Carol Brane was the first to notice it.
61:35
She made contact with him.
61:39
He was thoroughly examined.
61:42
We found he was producing vast amounts of endorphins.
61:48
Ten times the normal output.
61:51
We found something else there, too.
61:56
Something from the sand...
61:59
Some kind of fungus.
62:02
Or maybe an eumycetes.
62:08
We searched the Sebian desert.
62:12
The rally route and where he'd gotten lost.
62:16
Deep in the interior,
62:18
we found it mixed in with the sand.
62:23
We collected the sand,
62:26
and separated it from the sand.
62:30
We refined it and purified it.
62:34
Then we had a test sample of Endorph-A.
62:41
Do you know how many your drug has killed?
62:46
I didn't know!
62:48
We never knew there was a virus!
63:04
Hello, Jo! You made it!
63:08
Yes, I did.
63:09
Hello, Miss.
63:11
You're looking well.
63:16
So beautiful!
63:36
Don't work too hard, Doctor.
63:39
I miss you but I'm being strong about it.
63:45
I miss you so much. I really do.
63:53
- Is she asleep? - Yes.
63:59
- Miss... - What?
64:01
The chairman has issued an order to everyone.
64:13
I'm so pleased. You've done a good job.
64:18
I've served you for 10 years.
64:21
I'll finish by taking Pinoko back to Dr. Black Jack.
64:31
An order to destroy all evidence.
64:48
Please understand, Fendy.
64:54
I have unfinished work to do.
65:07
- Is Fendy working? - Yes, she is.
65:10
Did she say anything?
65:11
Don't eat or drink too much and easy on the TV.
65:15
She always says that!
65:18
I'll say it from now on.
65:27
0880-258-7101.
65:31
This number is either out of range...
65:35
or else it is switched off.
65:38
Please try again later.
65:44
We're doing our best, too, but there's no sign of her.
66:00
My temperature is up to 38.7 degrees Celsius.
66:04
Let's go to the airport.
66:09
It's due to the Endorph-A, I'm sure.
66:14
If it is...
66:16
Jo Carol drank more than I did.
66:18
She must be worse off.
66:29
I'm ready to go!
66:32
What a lovely dress.
66:34
You, too. You look like a super-model.
66:38
Thank you.
66:39
Let's go to the dinner party.
66:52
Hurry, it's started!
67:00
Jo!
67:13
Flight 63 to Sebia is on schedule, sir.
67:26
Doctor, the records you were looking for.
67:31
We pulled them out of the garbage.
67:35
Infected Persons Tracking Report?
67:41
Lisa Siegel's case history.
67:44
1990: Attended Parker Hospital for acute anemia treatment.
67:49
'92, received transfusions at Parker.
67:53
'94, ordered to infuse her with blood taken...
67:56
from an Endorph-A infected monitor.
67:59
Ordered to?
68:05
'96 Lisa's internal organs began to deteriorate.
68:10
The possibility of blood infection is very high.
68:15
'98, patient deceased.
68:17
Doctors in charge: Michael Salon, John Richardson,
68:21
Judy Austin, Ralph Geiss,
68:23
and the unlicensed doctor, Kuro Hazama,
68:26
AKA Dr. Black Jack.
68:29
For further details about Black Jack,
68:31
contact chief surgeon, Jo Carol.
68:51
We'll be there by night.
68:55
I'm not very familiar with Sebia,
68:57
but it's my second country.
69:01
My mother is American, and my father is Sebian.
69:10
That was Tanje village, the last one.
69:13
From here on there are only the nomads.
69:20
Desert nomads?
69:22
Yes, a small tribe that has retained their culture.
69:27
Very few people have seen them.
69:31
The villagers call them "gods of the desert."
69:59
In order to camouflage that it's a pharmaceutical factory,
70:04
they've disguised it as an oil refinery.
70:11
Such an enormous facility here in the desert.
70:19
Doctor, what is it?
70:21
This way!
70:31
Pinoko!
70:35
Doctor!
70:42
Pinoko...
70:44
Where's Jo Carol?
70:48
She's...
70:50
Jo is in big trouble.
71:05
Don't! You should be in bed!
71:08
You have a bad fever.
71:12
Thanks, Pinoko.
71:14
But I must keep working. I don't have much time.
71:25
You created the disease. Enjoy the suffering.
71:30
I thought you'd come.
71:37
All right. Let's begin.
71:39
First a method to cure Moira Syndrome.
71:43
Next we create an even more purer form of the super drug,
71:47
Neo-Endorph-A!
72:00
Stay back!
72:02
You'll catch Moira if it touches you.
72:06
Take care of Pinoko.
72:08
Go somewhere safe and wait for me.
72:11
But Doctor, won't you be exposed to Moira?
72:15
I am already infected with it.
72:21
Go now! We don't want any new victims!
72:34
The fools.
72:36
Aren't they afraid of Moira?
72:55
A Brane Co. Facility, all right.
72:57
All the medicine and equipment you could hope for.
73:01
It's possible to do basic research here, too.
73:09
I plan to go into your pituitary,
73:13
and remove the virus from there.
73:15
If I were you I wouldn't operate on me.
73:19
I have one question.
73:22
Was it you who decided to...
73:24
infect Lisa with the blood from the monitor?
73:28
Yes, it was me.
73:30
But why?
73:31
If you don't like my answer,
73:34
will you slip with your scalpel and turn me into a vegetable?
73:39
I just may do that.
73:58
I was confident, and I was full of hope.
74:03
At that time I came across Lisa Siegel...
74:08
at the Brane Co.'s Parker Hospital.
74:12
I was so confident of Endorph-A.
74:16
None of the test cases had shown bad effects.
74:20
The drug was drawing out all these wonderful talents.
74:24
When I first saw Lisa,
74:27
I realized she was a Super-Human.
74:29
A child of the 21 st century.
74:33
Blue eyes and chestnut hair...
74:37
Same as me when I was 12 years old.
74:44
I wanted to give her 'happiness.'
74:46
And maybe get from her the childhood I never had.
74:51
You chose her at random, without her consent,
74:55
and you experimented on her?
75:01
What made you to do it?
75:05
Everybody asks the same thing.
75:09
What did you want from Lisa?
75:20
- Doctor... - Doctor...
75:23
I'll operate.
75:38
The drug was taking effect.
75:41
Deep in my brain, countless endorphins...
75:45
were being produced at record rates.
75:50
I had an extraordinary level of concentration.
75:56
My sight was crystal clear.
76:00
I could even see individual nerve cells.
76:03
Even the platelets floating in her blood.
76:08
No mistake, I'd become a Super-Human.
76:18
So hot!
76:20
I'm so hot! I'm burning up!
76:23
The heat!
76:31
All bodily functions have returned to normal.
76:36
It's a success!
76:38
Only 27 minutes for such a complex operation.
76:45
- Doctor! - What's wrong?
77:46
Where's the doctor? Where is he?
77:51
Why...
77:53
Why won't you just abandon me?
77:57
This way you'll die, too.
78:01
No matter what...
78:03
you're my patient.
78:20
Doctor!
78:23
Jo! Doctor!
78:56
A little more to the northwest.
79:02
There's something I want you to see.
79:06
Just over that sandhill.
79:15
Let me down.
79:19
This is the Endorph-A sand.
79:23
We refined these crystals,
79:27
and made the medicine.
79:30
The other researchers said it was...
79:32
either a fungus or some sort of moss.
79:36
But I knew otherwise.
79:40
It was not from here.
79:43
It was brought here on the wind.
79:51
You mean a pollen or a spore?
79:54
There's a field of flowers up ahead somewhere.
80:01
The wind roils through here, so we haven't found it.
80:06
But one day I will.
80:21
Mission accomplished.
80:28
Please believe me...
80:31
I didn't create Endorph-A to make money for Brane.
80:36
I wanted to help people develop their true talents.
80:42
I was sick of people who only looked at things...
80:46
rationally and scientifically.
80:49
You're right.
80:52
First time you've agreed with me.
80:58
But what you did was very foolish.
81:03
It was my best effort. There was no other way...
81:09
My real name is 7101.
81:12
I was a test-tube baby created by the Brane Co.
81:18
They made 30 of us from a batch of selected sperm and ova.
81:25
But only I was adopted by Mr. Brane himself.
81:30
I was put into a very strict regime of study, almost like a jail.
81:37
Over five years the thirty dropped to 20.
81:40
Next it was 10, then 5...
81:43
No time to say good bye. They just suddenly disappeared.
81:48
Perhaps they were all killed.
81:52
My childhood was full of fear.
81:57
My heart gradually hardened.
82:00
All I thought about was winning.
82:05
In place of a heart I developed a hard, cold block of ice around me.
82:12
When only I remained, Brane adopted me.
82:16
I went to the best universities, and I lived luxuriously.
82:21
But the ice in my heart did not melt.
82:30
I always felt cold.
83:22
Probably bleeding from the stomach.
83:25
Losing 50cc of blood a minute, Moira terminal stages.
83:34
My sight is getting dim.
83:36
My heart is beginning to flutter.
83:42
Am I dying?
83:44
My pulse is getting weaker.
83:54
I'm dying. What can I do before I lose consciousness?
83:58
Concentrate.
84:01
For who...
84:04
For you, Black Jack.
84:06
Me?
84:43
What is it?
84:45
Fuluzium.
84:55
Fuluzium.
84:58
Fuluzium?
85:20
This is the fuluzium, a flower we discovered in Sebia.
85:25
Moira Syndrome was caused by a virus in the flower.
85:31
But having hosted the virus for so long,
85:35
the flower had developed a resistance.
85:39
First we extracted the essence from the stems,
85:44
and administered it to the patients.
85:47
This effectively cured the Moira Syndrome.
85:50
This was taught to us by the Sebian desert nomads.
85:56
For many thousands of years,
85:58
they were aware that the pollen was poison.
86:01
They also knew the cure.
86:04
However, they warned me.
86:07
Over the past 10 years Fuluzium poison has increased!
86:11
The mother desert has sickened rapidly.
86:16
Surely not the desert alone has suffered?
86:22
If a 2nd or 3rd wave of Moira Syndrome occurs...
86:29
No! It is surely happening somewhere right now!
86:49
Betty, look.
86:51
We'll get out here.
86:54
Doctor!
86:56
Doctor Black Jack!
87:04
Have you thought about what I asked you earlier?
87:09
What was it again?
87:11
Please join the MSJ. Even as an advisor.
87:16
- Did you hear that? - First time.
87:20
Don't be like that!
87:22
Sorry, I have a patient waiting.
87:25
- Doctor! - Please!
87:30
There are many ways for a man to do what must be done.
