Inspector Lunge, a detective from the BKA who is investigating the case, notices the recent events play in favor of Dr. Tenma, and meets him at Dr. Heinemann's funeral. Lunge informs him that the three doctors were killed by nitric acid, a muscle relaxant found in a candy they ate. The detective also tells Dr. Tenma that the twins' parents were most likely killed as a result of political terrorism. This turn of events makes Dr. Tenma feel like going back to Japan again and answering the true calling of a doctor.
Meanwhile, his operation on Herr Buchner follows through smoothly. The man has heard about Dr. Tenma's plan to quit his medical career in Germany and persuades him not to. Ater that, he's called to the Board of Directors' meeting about the reshuffling of personnels and Dr. Tenma being appointed as Chief Surgeon.

Episode 4: Night of the Execution[]
Characters[]
Dr. Kenzo Tenma, Adolf Junkers, Inspector Lunge, Eva Heinemann, Johan Liebert, Doctor Becker,
Summary[]
Dr. Tenma has completed the operation on Junkers and checks on him often. Junkers utters "the
monster is coming" when asked to speak. Inspector Lunge then interrogates Junkers while he is recovering and tells him that they know of his abilities as a lock pick, but not as an assassin. The detective makes a deal with him and says that if he testifies and points out who he was working with and who made the group kill those couples, he can avoid severe criminal charges. Junkers then enters a state of delirium and the interrogation is put off. He is assigned a guard to watch over him though because of Lunge's mistrust for Tenma.
Dr. Tenma takes Junkers out for fresh air. He lectures him with a speech on his "all lives are equal" belief and about how he has to deal with life and death on a daily basis. Junkers then finds the courage to talk to Dr. Tenma and even tells him that although they were not that different in age, he is like his father to him for saving his life and offering words of wisdom. Then he tells the surgeon about this mechanical clock he really liked when he was a child, which is also the main reason why he became a lock pick. With this confession, Dr. Tenma encourages Junkers to tell everything to the police so that he can start over.
Later that night, right before a date, Dr. Tenma sees a mechanical clock that looks just like the one Junkers described. He buys it and hurriedly goes back to the hospital to give it to his patient, but Junkers is not in his
room and his guard has been killed in an eerily familiar way: a candy with a muscle relaxant. The doctor runs in the direction of the exit to find Junkers. Tenma tails him until they arrive at a deserted building, where the lock pick begins shouting at him to not go any further. Junkers' efforts are to no avail though, and Tenma walks in, where he sees a blonde man standing with a gun pointed at his patient.
Johan Liebert shows himself and executes Junkers. Before that, the lock pick confesses that he and his mates were hired by Johan, and his the rest of his group was already killed by this "employer" of theirs. Dr. Tenma tries to convince Johan not to shoot Junkers, justifying his claim with the basis that he knows all aboutthim and could surely get him arrested. But Johan does not buy it, because he has nt identity, after all. Johan says his foster parents and the Lieberts had to be eliminated because they knew his past, but he cannot kill Dr. Tenma because he saved him; he regards him as if he were his own father. Johan also confesses that as a gift in return for saving his life, he killed the doctors who humiliated Tenma so that he could regain his former post all those years ag, and finishes by telling the doctor that all he did was grant him his wish.

In the episode, she is seen having come late to the class of Professor Kronecker, so she is asked to answer a question about a court ruling no one in the class could answer. She answered it most convincingly and received the approval of her professor.
Nina returns home after her activities and goes to bond with her parents. After, she receives an anonymous email from a sender who says he was born to smother her with roses (in a metaphorical sense). She thinks it's just Peter and dismisses the message. The next day, Nina meets with her therapist and counselor Dr. Geitel, and tells him about her recurring nightmare. Dr. Geitel explains that she became unstable when she came to college because she has many to think of. After the counseling session, Nina’s therapist writes a psychological report about her being an intelligent person but one with darkness hovering her, trying to overpower her.
Nina continues to show good performance in class, until this one case discussed by Professor Kronecker. It was aboutthea murder of a family with the parents killed by shooting and the children by strangulation. Nina starts trembling and loses consciousness. Nina starts trembling and loses consciousness. When she went home, she
again receives an anonymous e-mail telling that the sender is going to pick her up soon.
Dr. Tenma visits Cologne to track Johan's going from one foster family to another. He learned that during his stay in Cologne six years ago, he was using the name Michael Reichmann. Dr. Tenma then remembers about Johan's twin sister. When he visited Munich, he knew that Johan used another name; Franz Haynau. An old man knew Johan as a boy and willingly told Dr. Tenma how interesting a boy Johan was. The old man told Dr. Tenma that Johan looked up to him because he saved his life and he was more important to him than his
parents.
The old man informed Dr. Tenma that Franz stayed there with the Haynau couple from March 1987 to April 1988. He described Franz to be very intelligent and polite, quickly mastered English and French language under his tutelage. He was also very much amused by the old man’s war stories, especially that of the old man’s escape from death in the U-boat attacked by an Allied Destroyer. He was interested in man’s behavior on the verge of death and the fear it inspired. He also said Franz would not open his heart to anyone, save for his sister. When Dr. Tenma said he was looking for the boy’s twin sister, he said Franz is going to pick her up when she turns twenty in Heidelberg.
Meanwhile in Heidelberg, Nina’s friend arranges her to meet a man who keeps on pastaring at her in class. Her friends’ theory is that he is the one sending those anonymous letters. Shortly after she was approached by the man, Nina sees Johan standing by a huge column, and then she passes out.

Summary[]
Dr. Tenma goes to a press company to research about Nina’s whereabouts. Mr. Mauler would not believe Dr. Tenma’s claim that Nina’s parents and she is in grave danger. Dr. Tenma’s theory was that Johan used to live with the Fortners and left with the condition of them telling the truth to Nina on her 20th birthday. Dr. Tenma was thinking that there might be some search notice published and he wants to check them out. Mr. Mauler gave him filed manuscripts from nine years ago.
Nina again visits her therapist for consultation and told him about the fainting episode that happened when she saw Johan. She told Dr. Geitel that he seemed familiar to her, and that she was nostalgic. She felt like he was absolute evil. She said that maybe she will be able to describe her feelings more if she sees him again, and when she was asked if seeing him would help her recall past memories, she said it would.
The next day, Dr. Tenma was woken up by Mr. Mauler because he was searching until that morning. Mauler treated him to a restaurant for breakfast. Later that day, Mauler personally helps Dr. Tenma go through the records and finds the article in question. They also learns that that day was the twins’ birthday.
Meanwhile in the Fortner household, the Fortners were thinking how they should reveal the truth to Nina, or if they should even tell it to her. Nina arrives and goes straight to her room, noticing she was again sent another anonymous e-mail. It said the sender wants to meet her at 7pm at Heidelberg Castle.
That night, Nina phones home that she cannot get home early because she is going to meet a friend at the Heidelberg Castle. Dr. Tenma and Mr. Mauler heads towards the address they found on the article in hope to find Nina. Mauler recounts his trip to Cologne to check out the middle aged couple murders, and told Dr. Tenma that there were not any feelings involved in the killing, just pure intent to kill. Mauler states a man not more than twenty years of age could not have orchestrated those emotionless murders.
After arriving at 16 Nickel Avenue, they asked the Fortners about the twins but refused to answer any questions at first. Mauler persuaded and they said Nina is at Heidelberg castle. Dr. Tenma left for Heidelberg Castle and Mauler went to call the police. However, phone lines went dead.
At the Heidelberg Castle, Nina thought it was just another prank message and was about to leave when a gardener said she has to wait. Dr. Tenma appears just in time and asked Nina to go with him back to Nina’s house. The gardener stops them but he gets taken down by Nina and was tied. The two headed back to the Fortners.

Characters[]
Dr. Tenma, Nina Fortner, Detective Messener, Detective Muller, Mr. and Mrs. Fortner, Mr. Mauler
Summary[]
On their way to the Fortners, Nina asked Dr. Tenma about what is going on. Dr. Tenma told her that she used to be Anna Liebert and that she had a twin brother who goes by the name Johan. When they arrived to the Fortners, lights were out and no one answered to their calls. They decided to get in and they saw Nina’s parents and Mr. Mauler murdered in cold blood. He tried to revive them but to no avail. Detective Messener and Detective Muller arrived and took them to the police station saying their back up would take over the investigation and that they need Nina’s and Dr. Tenma’s statement.
During the ride, Dr. Tenma wondered why those detectives just left the crime scene without securing the evidence. Dr. Tenma also wondered why they were headed to the Mannheim Police station rather than the nearer Heidelberg Police. This further heightened Dr. Tenma’s growing apprehension with the detectives who picked them up until they reached a checkpoint. Dr. Tenma requested the detectives if they could for a moment go out for Nina to get
some fresh air Detective Muller asked Dr. Tenma, addressing him as ‘Doctor’, if they could get in now. This, along with the blood he saw on the hem of Detective Messener’s coat, made Dr. Tenma sure of his doubt on these people and he and Nina jumped off the bridge to escape the suspicious police men.
Next morning, the two of them found themselves washed on the riverside with a barn. Dr. Tenma bought clothes and food for them from the convenience store. After changing, Nina told Dr. Tenma that she shot Johan as he had instructed her when they were children, after she knew that the death of all those people who had been kind to them had been Johan’s doing. Dr. Tenma then instructed Nina to stay and hide there until he comes back from the police.
Dr. Tenma dropped by the Heidelberg Police station to know how the investigation is going when he saw Messener and Muller. They were really affiliated with the Mannheim Police and that they were also investigating the murder at Heidelberg Schloss . Dr. Tenma then phoned the press to make a statement and went back to Nina. Back at the riverside, Nina could not be found. Dr. Tenma went inside the barn and saw sandwiches and a letter from Nina.
Meanwhile in the Heidelberg Schloss, Inspector Lunge found an item that would incriminate Dr. Tenma for the murders.

It is a neck tie which, by Inspector Lunge’s analysis, points to a store that sells the best goods only to their wealthiest patrons. Eva told him that she did not remember it, because she gave out so many presents before. Inspector Lunge told her that the owner of the necktie is the suspect to the murders. Eva stood on her statement that
she did not know to whom she gave the necktie.
During Dr. Tenma’s daily rounds in the hospital, Eva visited him and asked if he has some minutes to spare. In their private room, Eva communicated to Dr. Tenma that she did not betrayed him to the police who came asking for her about the necktie. She also posed a deal that if Dr. Tenma accepts her again, she would continue keeping those incriminating information she held. Dr. Tenma did not even think about it and left Eva for his rounds. In Eva’s fury, she immediately went to the BKA and confessed everything to Inspector Lunge so that she can get even with Dr. Tenma’s rejection of her.
Dr. Tenma anticipated this move of Eva and straightaway filed resignation. The arresting officers came to take Dr. Tenma but he already left.

Five months ago, Dr. Tenma asked Mr. Bernhardt if he could teach him how to shoot a gun effectively. Mr.
Bernhardt gave him a jump rope and instructed him to jump rope just like the girl he is keeping. While training, Dr. Tenma noticed the girl broke no sweat in doing it and praised her for that. Later that day, Dr. Tenma even loss appetite in exhaustion. Mr. Bernhardt said proper eating part of the training.
After the meal, the Burmese girl went straight to her room. Dr. Tenma asked Mr. Bernhardt what his relation to the girl. He said she is the daughter of the woman Mr. Bernhardt killed as a soldier in Myanmar. He took the child but she developed selective mutism from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and would not talk to him, not even smile.
Dr. Tenma finished his basic training and was instructed to come to the firing range. At the firing range, he was told by Mr. Bernhardt to always fire a gun twice to increase the possibility of success. By the evening, Dr. Tenma chose to cook the dinner and prepared Nikujaga for them and made chopsticks out of the trees around for more authentic feel. Dr. Tenma praised the Burmese girl for being good at using chopsticks while he laughed at Mr. Bernhardt who struggled in using it.
A few days later, Dr. Tenma made significant improvement on his shooting skills. He was also trained in quick dismembering and assembling of a gun. One time when Dr. Tenma was doing his jogging, he saw the girl preoccupied with something. He then learned that the Burmese girl rescued a brambling chick and was about to take it home. Dr. Tenma convinced her to take it back to its nest so that the chick can see its mother again.

luck. After drinking in the bar, he went straight to the Springer’s mansion to steal some valuable things. Dr. Tenma caught him but police sirens were heard suddenly and they fled.
Heckel then offered Dr. Tenma a job in the underground but he refused it. But when he learned Heckel knew a lot about the Springers, he had gone with him to an apartment building. Heckel pointed him to a man who had Erich as a confidante. The man told Dr. Tenma a bit about his past and how Erich came talking to him a bar one day. They shared the same
sentiments, which is why he trusted Erich. He said Erich even invited him to come over his home, the home of Congressman Springer and his wife, where Erich lived for about a year as their foster son. Erich revealed to him the bad things about the Springer family and about Congressman Springer’s mistress. When Erich asked him to eliminate the family for him, he recalled his own mother being someone’s mistress too, and killed them for it. After saying this, he said Dr. Tenma had no more to hear from him.
The man, however, remembered Erich’s saying that a man will come looking for him, which will prove that his fate has already been decided. The man said Erich had a message for him in the study of Congressman Springer. After that, the man pointed the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
Dr. Tenma and Heckel then visited Congressman Springer’s study. While Heckel is happily counting a few hundred thousand marks he got from the wall safe, Dr. Tenma took a flashlight and took a look around. He noticed a portrait and took it down, revealing Johan’s message.

.png){kind=link}
Tenma away. The agent however, pointed him to a certain commercial affairs official living ten houses away.
Dr. Tenma found the official and had a short talk with him. He learned there that Mr. Liebert took both of the children in from Kinderheim 511. Dr. Tenma was able to locate Kinderheim 511 and saw the east façade of the orphanage destroyed by fire. While observing, an old lady walked by and told Dr. Tenma that the building he’s examining is about to be torn down for a supermarket. She also pointed him to the former Minister of Health living nearby at block 47.
Looking for block 47, Dr. Tenma saw a wounded Dieter and treats his wound. He ran away after being treated. Dr.
Tenma found the apartment where Mr. Hartmann is staying and the minister gladly welcomed him in. Dr. Tenma noticed the frames hung on his wall, and Hartman said they were his former foster children who he cared for after the fall of the Berlin Wall . He also said he is still taking care of one boy. They talked about 511 and then Johan and Anna finally entered their conversation. He said Johan lead a revolution there which made the children run amok. Dieter comes home, and their conversation was cut off. Hartmann invited Dr. Tenma to dinner and told him to write in his article (Dr. Tenma said he was a freelance journalist) that “We should raise our children in a proper manner. How we handle them is important. Only after doing so will the children have wonderful dreams”. When Dr. Tenma heard this, he asked Dieter his dream, and he said he wanted a soccer ball. After Dr. Tenma left he walked on the streets of Berlin and saw a sports shop selling a soccer ball. He bought it for Dieter and quickly
went back to Mr. Hartmann’s. But when reached their apartment, he heard Dieter yell and he swiftly came rushing in. Dr. Tenma saw Dieter’s wounds acquired from Mr. Hartmann’s beating of him. Dr. Tenma brought him to a hospital instructing a nurse to not let anyone get Dieter.
Dr. Tenma visited Kinderheim 47 and asked its matron Erna Tietze to take Dieter in. She refused at first, saying she cannot just take any child from a stranger at a moment’s notice. Then Dr. Tenma asked Tietze if she knew Anna and she said she knew her well. They talked about Anna and her brother Johan. When the conversation was diverted to Kinderheim 511, Tietze was suddenly defensive. She said she did all her best so that her orphanage would not be controlled by the internal affairs ministry and turn out like another Kinderheim 511.
Episode 12: Modest Experiment[]
Characters[]
Dr. Tenma, Erna Tietze, Hartmann, Dieter
Summary[]
Tietze revealed to Dr. Tenma that the main goal of the Kinderheim 511 was to create a band of perfect soldiers through brainwashing and human programming. She also told Dr. Tenma that there was one person, a child psychologist, who was able to remain in Germany under a false name, and was formerly known as the Minister for Health.
Dieter was treated in the hospital and he looked for his soccer ball when he woke up. Dieter’s peace of mind however, was short lived, because Mr. Hartmann came to pick him up. Dieter won’t come, but as Hartmann is his foster parent and legal guardian he was forced to come with him.
Dr. Tenma went back to the hospital to retrieve Dieter but the nurses said he had already gone with Mr. Hartmann. Dr. Tenma quickly went back to Mr. Hartmann’s house but he could not find them there. In Mr. Hartmann’s study, he found a stack of pictures of Mr. Hartmann and some kids taken at different times but in the same location. Looking at the pictures one by one, he saw one picture of the child Johan with some old man Dr. Tenma does not know about. From that picture Dr. Tenma knew where the pictures were taken from. Then, Dr. Tenma realized what kind of predicament Dieter was in.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hartmann took Dieter to the dilapidated Kinderheim 511. Dr. Tenma followed them there and going in, he saw the soccer ball he gave to Dieter rolling down the stairs. At the top of the stairs, a weak and bruised Dieter appeared sitting on a big cushioned chair beside a kindled fire. Mr. Hartmann appeared behind Dieter suddenly, saying Dieter cannot see what Johan saw when he sat in that very chair. Hartmann said Dieter was another failure, very far from Johan. Johan predicted that humans are destined to hate and kill each other.
Hartmann held on to that prediction and continued his experiments on a smaller scale. He forced on Dieter his ideals to become more like Johan. He points a long firearm to Dieter, as if to shoot him, but Dr. Tenma stopped him by aiming his gun on him. Hartmann said Dr. Tenma could not just find and kill Johan. He also said he should find General Wolf, the first person to discover Johan’s talent and brought him to 511.
Then, Dr. Tenma asked Dieter to come down the stairs and that he can decide for himself. Hartmann said Dieter won’t go with Dr. Tenma because he is his child, but Dieter slowly left his chair and went down the stairs. When Dieter reached Dr. Tenma, Dieter reiterated to Mr. Hartmann what Dr. Tenma told him, “Tomorrow is a great day.”.
The next day, Dr. Tenma instructed Dieter to take the bus heading to Kuenen street and go the orphanage right in front where the bus stops and give the letter to Erna Tietze. But what Dieter did was to let his soccer ball roll in Dr. Tenma's direction and started following him. Dr. Tenma told him not to follow him anymore, but Dieter insisted.

When Dr. Schumann arrived at his clinic, the man had already been performed first-aid by the passer-by who brought him in. The passer-by left without giving identification but left money for the patient’s expenses with the message, “The man had no money and asked not be sent to a hospital.”. Dr. Schumann, feeling very much insulted by the stranger’s behaviour, tried to find him. The nurse protested about Dr. Schumann’s unpredictable reaction because Finck the Drunkard will have to be treated. Dr. Schumann said not to worry because the stranger treated him wholly.
Meanwhile in a restaurant nearby, Dieter and Dr. Tenma ate their breakfast. Dr. Tenma said he should not follow
In line with Dr. Schumann’s request, Dr. Tenma treated as many patients as he could. Seeing how Dr. Schumann does his charity work, Dr. Tenma became quite amazed at him and admired him. They arrived at Mrs. Petra’s house and she was still as stubborn as ever. From there Dr. Tenma knew Dr. Schumann’s feelings for the old Mrs. Petra. Dr. Tenma tried to convince her to let them check on her, and Mrs. Petra opened the door for them. Dr. Tenma smelled the steaming Hungarian stew Goulash and he told Mrs. Petra it was Dr. Schumann’s favorite food. Mrs. Petra told him that if it were not for his stiff shoulders she would have prepared dinner by now. Dr. Tenma asked her if she could touch her chest with her chin, but Mrs. Petra cannot. Dr. Tenma held out his hand and fitted it between her chest and chin. From there Dr. Tenma diagnosed she had developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage and needs immediate medical attention. Mrs. Petra then lost consciousness and was taken to Dr. Schumann’s clinic.
After the operation, Dr. Schumann laid out his life story which was basically like Dr. Tenma’s in so many ways. Heinz called off his arresting of Dr. Tenma and just went to retrieve a helicopter to for his mother to be taken to a proper hospital.
Dr. Tenma left for their journey, but Dr. Schumann tried to bargain for him to stay in their village. Dr. Tenma just asked Dr. Schumann to care for Dieter. Dr. Schumann insisted Dr. Tenma could many lives there, but Dr. Tenma told him he still needed to kill a man.
