The Great Prosecution at Ansei suppressed more than 100 members of the Emperor's exclusionist movement.
But you see, during this 5 year event in Ansei, something even more tragic happened.
Do you know what cholera is?
In this dreadful epidemic spread, records indicated that over 100,000 people died.
CHOLERA
Taniguchi, wake up.
If you're so sleepy, go wash your face.
Hey, Taniguchi. Call the Health Officer!
Give me a hand.
Teacher! It's Natsumi!
Natsumi, are you okay?
What's this?
Even if the world is crumbling,
she will never take care of me.
That was three years ago. How do you expect me to face her now?
I don't care how you do it, just go to her.
I'm not sure which of the car companies will be working with us to jointly develop a new autonomous car.
Dr. Nagumo, the project leader, is giving this the highest priority.
This Nagumo, is it Dr. Nagumo Kiriko?
Who will be taking over as the director of the National Center for Engineering Innovation...
Professor! Are you an enemy of Dr. Nagumo?
That's the worst case possible.
I'd rather starve to death, than to bow down to that woman.
Besides, she wouldn't even listen to me or do me any favors.
That's not true.
No matter how much you quarrel,
in the end, a mother would always want to help her own child.
Mother?
Dr. Nagumo is Manako's mother.
That's why I want you to ask for her help.
I didn't realize that. But her name...
Poor Professor. I definitely wouldn't want my child to feel lonely like that.
What do you mean, your child?
Ikumin is a single mother.
Huh?
My son Teruki.
He looks like just like you.
And this is his little brother, Kouta!
Younger brother?
And the youngest, Ria!
That's tough!
Not at all.
I have 21 licensing agreements with toy makers.
I don't have to worry about money.
Besides, three days a week, each father takes care of each of them.
Each of them?
Three children, three fathers, thrice divorced....
Who repeats the same mistakes with such impunity. Isn't that interesting?
I don't care about any of that right now!
Anyway, go ask Dr. Nagumo for her cooperation.
No matter how much you dislike it.
Otherwise, I promise you'll never participate in an accident investigation committee again.
Why would you do that?
It's obvious. It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet,
because of these expensive experiments you've been doing at these accident investigations.
What are you going to do?
I understand.
I won't participate in accident investigations.
That's all right, then?
Food poisoning?
As of this moment, more than 100 students are experiencing abdominal pains and vomiting,
and have been taken to the hospital.
Although the cause is still unclear,
Shuyokan Junior High School's lunch supplier is a private food company called Exelan Foods.
Five neighboring junior high schools are also....
Teruki's elementary school also gets their school lunches from them.
One week later
If you keep crying like that, Teruki will be sad.
That's right. Cheer up.
Because Teruki... Teruki...
Ikumin's oldest son Nishimine Teruki
Aren't you glad he's fine?
It's not good! Because the cause of the food poisoning was ham.
He won't eat meat anymore.
Professor, please do something about it.
Teruki, meat contains a good balance of essential amino acids.
If you are deficient, you get tired easily and your immune system weakens.
Even if you say that, he won't understand.
You know, the ham from the school lunch the other day went bad.
But everything else is fine. So don't worry!
What's the basis for that?
You don't know when and where the bad bacteria came from, do you?
How can you say everything else is fine?
That's...
That's illogical. You're an engineer, aren't you?
Hahahaha...
Yes, this is Amano.
Exelan Foods?
With regards to the food poisoning that occurred the other day,
we've decided to form an accident investigation committee.
Oh...no...
Accident investigations for the time being...
Okay, I accept your invitation.
Are you sure? What are you going to tell Shiho-san?
It's obvious. We'll keep it a secret.
Without any pretense
Without conjecture
Without reward
A third-party investigation of the truth, free from all ties.
That is the mission of the Accident Investigation Committee.
Drama 10
Exelan Foods Main Office
In the menu for that day
File 2 - Manako, Eats Meat
all the students who ate ham were afflicted.
The students who did not eat ham because they disliked it,
did not suffer from food poisoning.
From the above points, the cause of the illness
Exelan Foods Purchasing Department Manager Katayama Noriyuki
was a high-grade brand of ham used in school lunches,
which turned out to be "Takumi's Finest Ham".
Regarding time to onset of illness, the possibility of food poisoning by Staphylococcus aureus is extremely high.
No bacteria were detected in the samples of the ham or in the stool samples of the students who developed the symptoms.
So we have not yet reached a definitive conclusion.
How many grams were in the sample?
50 grams, as stipulated.
Ah, with that amount, bacteria can be undetectable, you know.
It doesn't necessarily mean that it will be detected in the stools.
It's a little strange that it doesn't appear anywhere.
If Staphylococcus aureus was responsible,
it would have been attached to the food after it was heated and processed at the food service center.
What does that mean?
Staphylococcus aureus is sensitive to heat.
So even if there were bacteria on the food prior to the heat treatment
it should all have been destroyed.
Oh, I see.
Staphylococcus aureus can come from
common sources like skin, hair and open wounds.
For example, after the heating process, someone inadvertently touched it with a bare hand that had been scratched.
It's not impossible that the bacteria could have multiplied.
Oh...
As expected of Professor Amano. You know a lot about bacteria.
This is also failure analysis.
From February to April 1989,
there were many cases of food poisoning in New York, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania.
The cause was Staphylococcus aureus on imported mushrooms for commercial use.
Furthermore, in 2009, France had a case of food poisoning caused by cheese
and it spread across six different regions.
We have made so many magnificent mistakes in the past,
it is truly regrettable that we could not take advantage of it.
Magnificent mistakes?
Anyway, the question is, when and where did the Staphylococcus aureus get attached?
That's right.
I am President Kifune.
Exelan Foods President Kifune Kagami
As a precaution, all our distribution channels
have been thoroughly traced backed.
But we were unable to identify the source of the infection.
I'm sorry to say,
we believe that the cause is in the food service center.
However, according to an on-site inspection by the public health department,
no evidence of bacteria was found at the food service center, right?
Yes. Based on the health department's guidance,
as of tomorrow, we will be able to resume operations.
But we just couldn't find any evidence.
I'd like to take this opportunity to review the operation
of the food service center from scratch.
Hey, do you know Manako's schedule for today?
I wonder...
I can't reach Notsuda-kun either.
That's been happening a lot lately.
I wonder what those two are up to.
Ah! You noticed?
I was surprised too. I didn't think those two had that kind of relationship.
But, well, they're both adults.
Let's just keep a warm eye on them.
What?
This is Ejima, the Factory Manager. These two are from the Accident Investigation Committee.
- I'm Amano. - I'm Notsuda. Pleased to meet you.
I don't have time to deal with you right now.
I'm sorry.
Let's come back later.
Is there something you don't want us to see?
Exelan Foods Factory Manager Ejima
That would be the shortage of staff.
I understand. I'll escort you. That's fine...
I've been told by the President not to upset them. I'm counting on you.
- I'm sorry. - No problem.
If you could come this way, please.
Are you wearing contact lenses?
- No. - What about them?
No removable inserts or dental fillings?
Oh, I think I'm fine.
Please remove any jewelry. And no buttoned shirts.
Also, if you have any injuries,
please use this bandage.
It contains metal, so even if it comes off,
it is possible to search for it with a metal detector.
Wow, you are that thorough.
In the food industry, even a strand of hair
is considered contamination of a foreign substance, and we'd have no choice but to apologize.
All the ingredients we purchase are treated with heat.
Even the ham, for example?
Of course.
We don't want any problems in the school lunches
Even if it is a processed food, we still treat them with heat.
So, somewhere along the way, the food was exposed to bacteria, right?
That's right.
Manager.
Do something about it. We're running low on gloves.
The Factory Manager urgently needs to place an order.
But he's in a really bad mood.
If we run out, we'll have to stop work.
Can't you increase the stock like before?
Every time we run out I always have to go ask the Factory Manager...
I understand. There's no choice. I'll order it myself.
Thank you very much. As expected of you, boss.
I'll be right back.
- Are you new here? - Yeah, well.
That's strange. You still want to work here after what happened.
I'm Nozawa, a part-timer.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Then, do you have any idea what caused the food poisoning?
Eh?
That's too straightforward, Professor.
Even if you ask that out of the blue, she won't know how to answer that.
Yes, I do have an idea.
You do?
What do you think is the cause?
Revenge.
This company changed presidents two years ago.
The new President and Factory Manager Ejima didn't see eye to eye.
Katayama-san, the head of the Purchasing Department, began to supervise this area as well,
replacing the Factory Manager who did not follow the policy of his superiors.
For our part, we're grateful as Katayama is easier to talk to.
I imagine Factory Manager Ejima must be dissatisfied.
Yes, recently some employees who have been with the factory manager for a long time,
have all been laid off. The situation with the gloves you saw earlier...
He would say "Stop wasting money".
The Factory Manager is full of complaints.
I think the Factory Manager is finally going to be laid off next.
The Factory Manager, Ejima, holds a grudge and wanted to take revenge on the company.
Did he intentionally expose the bacteria?
Factory Manager, something's wrong with the vacuum cooler. Can you take a look at it?
If it's the vacuum cooler, call a contractor and have them check it out.
That's the best way to be sure.
It's going to cost money, though.
- Then, can you fix it? - No, I can't.
- In that case, let me take a look for now. - Thank you very much.
I might be able to fix it soon.
With that... he will inevitably get fired.
And if, out of spite, if he really did spread the bacteria....
Vacuum cooler.
Huh?
Professor?
- How is it? - No, it's no good.
Excuse me.
How about this?
Wow, I'm impressed. As expected of Professor Amano.
Uhm, about this air filter,
may I know how often it is cleaned?
Well that's...
Every day.
Factory Manager...
I do it every day without fail.
Tomo-kun.
That's excellent. It's just...
The structure of this vacuum cooler has another filter in the back.
It takes a lot of time and effort to clean it.
It's easy to to get overlooked.
If dirt gets on it, bacteria might form...
We take care of all the filters every day.
We also change them every six months.
Because of you, I've had to delay the work significantly.
I would appreciate it if you don't disturb me any longer.
Notsuda-kun. Can you give me a hand here?
- Hey, Notsuda-kun. - Yes.
About you and Manako...
You don't have to sneak around. I'm not going to say anything.
Just make sure you're contactable.
Will you be able to forgive us?
Whether I forgive you or not, that's not up to me.
Ah...
Thank you very much. The Professor will be pleased.
She won't stop once she starts running. So make sure you protect her.
Yes, ma'am.
For what it's worth, you really care about the Professor a lot, don't you?
It's alright.
The accident investigation is certainly pointing towards the food service center.
And we don't have to do expensive experiments to prove it.
They'll come to a conclusion soon.
What? Accident investigation, you said?
What?
I made an appointment for 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.
Huh? With who?
- Dr. Nagumo. - Huh? Don't be so selfish.
Well, you're the one who broke your promise, didn't you?
Hey! What the hell are you doing!
- I was the one who has been covering for you! - You should've told me first.
About the autonomous car...
Go make a good presentation, okay?!
National Center for Engineering Innovation
Why do I have to go too?
It's natural to bring along my assistant.
You just don't want to see her alone, right?
Don't use me as a buffer in your parent-child quarrel.
Why did you and Dr. Nagumo fall out so badly?
- We're not at odds with each other. - What?
We've never gotten along from the beginning.
- I'm going back after all. - If you don't come, you'll be fired.
That's power harassment.
Harassment depends on what the other person thinks.
If you don't think it's harassment, it's not harassment.
If you think it is, you will be fired.
That's so selfish, it actually feels good.
This way please.
I am one of those who believe in a sustainable and prosperous future.
By the time I reach 100 years old, I believe that this new system will
be the foundation of society's infrastructure.
It is not a fantasy or empty theory, but a future that we can actually touch.
A future that we can actually feel.
That is the materialization of our mission.
Director of the National Center for Engineering Innovation Nagumo Kiriko
What do you think about the depletion of the earth's resources?
Excuse me, please step away.
- That's all for today. - Okay.
I'm sorry. That's all for today.
I'm sorry. I'll call you back.
I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown up so much...
- No one changes that much in three years. - I'm just kidding.
I spent the whole of last night thinking about what I should say to you first.
And after much thinking, I applied Cattery's Law to the problem.
Apparently it's not going over so well.
- Isn't it funny? - Huh?
F-Fun... I'm sorry.
It's alright, I was just kidding.
Haa... haa...
He's honest and cute, this new boyfriend.
No, no, I'm not her boyfriend.
I'm her assistant, Notsuda Tou.
Don't take it seriously. It's all just a joke to her.
Eh?
Sorry for the mess.
This is a SEM image of a fracture.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
Yes, the fracture on the surface of a bolt.
As a professor of Tokyo Daiichi University's Faculty of Engineering, I would love to hear your opinion on this.
Typical brittle fracture.
Possibly delayed fracture.
The strange thing is...this was a high-strength bolt.
Because the strength level is about 10.9T,
it has a tensile strength of about 1,000 newtons.
Yeah... when I investigated the fracture phenomenon of
high-strength steel with a hardness of HRC35 or so
the tensile strength was also about 1,000 newtons,
I had a similar experience where the failure mode was the same as a delayed fracture.
Where is the fracture located on this bolt?
On the lower neck.
Let's do an FTA* with the delayed fracture of the lower neck as the top phenomenon.
*Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis, mainly used in safety and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail.
If the cause is hydrogen...
Atomic adsorption* during plating.
Adsorption (not Absorption) is a mass transfer process that is a phenomenon of sorption of gases or solutes by solid or liquid surfaces.
What is the concentration of the solution?
Concentration...
Concentration of acidic solution is too high.
What is the relationship with tempering?
Inappropriate tempering conditions.
What else...?
- Double plating! - Implement double plating.
That's right, here it comes...
Well, I guess that's about it.
You've really grown bigger.
No more jokes please.
I meant as an engineer.
What? You two get along well. I thought you were like enemies.
I hear you're still working on the accident investigation.
Come to our institute, Manako.
Accident investigation and failure analysis are not what you should be doing.
What I do is up to me to decide.
What we should be working on is not analyzing the past, but creating the future.
I heard that three years ago.
It's incompetent to try and fail.
But it's worse than incompetent to not do something when you know you can.
As usual, you think you're perfect.
I'm just saying that for your own good.
Don't worry about it.
How much do you know about me?
Oh... why don't you both calm down a little. You were working together so well just now.
We weren't collaborating. I did it out of self-interest.
It's none of your business. I didn't ask you to do it.
But you asked for it.
I just asked for your opinion.
Huh?
You two are so alike.
We're not!
I'm sorry.
Ah, I knew I shouldn't have come here after all.
Let's go back.
Hey wait, what about the autonomous car?
I don't need her help. I can handle it on my own.
Including Stanford University, we've got joint research proposals from all over the world.
You're not special, you know.
Even if the world crumbles, I'm never going to take care of you.
No matter how much you try to make up for it,
it won't erase the rifts that's built up over time.
Oh!
You haven't seen each other in a while,
why don't you talk about it calmly.
I've got somewhere to go.
See you later.
Hey wait, Professor...
I'm so sorry. You have to deal with an old hag like me.
No, not at all.
This is the first time that woman brought her assistant.
Maybe you could...
change Manako somehow
Please convince her to stop working on accident investigations and focus all her energy on research.
That's impossible, I can't tell her what not to do.
I'm not the kind of person she would listen to.
She won't listen to me either.
I left my husband and our little child
to focus on work.
I'm a terrible mother, aren't I?
I heard you lost your father a long time ago.
I couldn't even go to the funeral because of work.
So it was natural for them to hate me.
But thanks to that choice, I am here now.
I don't know if it was right or not.
But at the very least, I've never regretted it even once.
No matter how much I look back on the past, I can't change what happened.
Thank you for waiting.
Oh, you were quicker than I expected.
Did you do it properly?
Of course we did.
Normally, you'd have to wait a few days.
But we made it our top priority to give you a special inspection.
Thank you. And the result?
No matter how much I look back on the past, I can't change what happened.
I am deeply sorry.
We lost 1 billion yen because of you alone. How are you going to take responsibility?
Do you understand?
You made a mistake.
Professor, you were terrible today...
Huh?
Um...
Why am I in a truck?
Yesterday, I retested the ham sample.
I found a certain substance.
Enterotoxin?
What's that?
It's a toxin produced when staphylococcus aureus multiplies by a certain amount.
Normally, we test for Staphylococcus aureus itself.
And if there are too many of them, Enterotoxins are also present.
But in this case, there was no Staphylococcus aureus.
Only enterotoxin was found.
How is that possible?
Staphylococcus aureus, no matter how much they multiply,
heat treatment will kill them all, as said before.
Yes.
But enterotoxin is the opposite.
It is resistant to heat.
Once formed, it is not eliminated no matter how much heat is applied.
For example, I bought some meat in the middle of summer.
I forgot to put it in the refrigerator and it has been out for a day.
What happens?
In the middle of summer, for certain
Staphylococcus aureus will multiply.
At that stage, enterotoxin is naturally produced.
That's right. And by applying heat...
Staphylococcus aureus is killed from the heat.
But enterotoxin continue to remain,
and causes food poisoning.
That's what I mean.
No matter how much you try to make up for it,
once a rift is formed, it won't go away.
Is that...
No matter how much you try to make up for it,
it won't erase the rifts that's built up over time.
Dr. Nagumo's words are a hint?
What is the answer that can be derived from the above?
The ham in question,
even before it was brought to the food service center and heat-treated,
it was already contaminated with enterotoxin.
If we trace back this distribution route,
we may be able to find the truth behind the bacteria.
Could it be that this truck...?
Oh, hey, I'm the one who always brings the ham from cold storage to the food service center.
I'm telling you, I didn't have any problems during the transportation.
Then....
Ummm...
There were no problems anywhere after all.
Thanks for waiting... Come on, please!
No, no... You came all the way from Tokyo.
We couldn't do much for you. I'm sorry about that.
Then, the both of you can enjoy this together.
Sir, we appreciate your thoughtfulness, but I'm afraid we can't accept this kind of thing...
Mmm! Mmmm...
This is delicious! I knew it had depth of flavor.
I know it does.
- Professor. - It's okay.
Hey, even if they give this to me, I wouldn't treat them any differently.
That's not the point.
Don't get hung up on the details.
I asked the boss to do something even more unreasonable.
Alright.
Actually, I shouldn't really show you this.
But I'll ask you to keep it between us.
Thank you very much.
As expected of a first-class brand "Takumi's Finest Ham".
No trace of bacteria
Toxins not eliminated
Cost reduction
Distribution channel
Prior processing
I made a mistake.
Alright...
Good work everyone.
Thank you for your hard work.
The rest is as usual.
Take them to the cold storage at the end of the week.
- Yes. - Okay, let's go out to eat.
For real? Thanks for dinner, boss!
No one said anything about a treat.
What are you two doing here...
Manager Katayama, what are you doing here?
No, I'm... helping with purchasing...
This isn't part of the regular distribution channel, is it?
- What kind of work are you doing? - Well, various things...
At the ham supplier, I was shown the transaction records.
About 500 kilograms of "Takumi's Finest Ham"
is wholesaled to Exelan Foods every month, isn't it?
But that's...
only about half of what your company provides to the schools.
Where do you get the other half?
You buy cheap ham from another source,
refill the bags, put new labels on them,
and then passing it off as "Takumi's Finest Ham," a high quality product.
No, no... this is...
There was an ordering error. So it was scrapped.
Then, what's in there? Is it the genuine "Takumi's Finest Ham"?
Let's call the boss of the ham supplier to verify its authenticity.
- Tomo-kun, please call him. - Yes, ma'am.
Wait... wait!
There was no other way.
We've been desperately working hard to provide high-end foodstuffs to consumers at the lowest possible price.
But the company cut down our expenses further.
Yet they want us to maintain the quality.
This ham is comparable in quality to "Takumi's Finest Ham".
It can be purchased at a low price just because it is not well known.
What's wrong with that?
You're right.
I'm not interested that you falsified the source, either.
Personally, I don't care where the ham comes from as long as it's tasty.
No, you should. It's illegal.
However, if it causes food poisoning, that's a different story.
Eh?
You always work with your bare hands, don't you?
To keep costs down as much as possible.
Even the food service center is cutting back on the number of gloves they use.
It would be foolish to use them here.
We're running low on gloves.
The Factory Manager urgently needs to place an order.
But he's in a really bad mood.
The day after the food poisoning incident.
You engaged an electrical contractor nearby to repair your refrigerator, right?
We have the bill.
I contacted the electrical contractor to confirm this.
They said it was a refrigerator here that broke down.
The malfunction is the temperature sensor.
The temperature inside the refrigerator must have risen to the same level as room temperature.
In there, the ham had been sitting for about two days until the morning of the poisoning.
All of you handled it with your bare hands, resulting in multiplication of Staphylococcus aureus.
More than enough time passed for the bacteria to multiply and form toxins.
But even if that were the case,
the final product was heat-treated. It wouldn't be a problem.
The toxin that caused this food poisoning is not eliminated with heat treatment.
Ah... As I thought.
I thought it might be possible.
But, I was afraid to check.
Of all things, a broken fridge.
What bad luck.
That's not true.
If you didn't falsify the source the first place...
all this wouldn't have happened!
Ah I feel better now.
What?
As long as the cause of the food poisoning is known,
that's enough for me.
No, Professor, this is illegal too!
I have no intention of saying anything about legal responsibility.
I only have one thing to say.
This failure,
be sure to treasure it.
Professor!
I can't believe it. Falsifying the source and all that.
How dare you do such a thing, right in front of my eyes?
Now that it's come to this, we'll disclose the truth.
I'll have Manager Katayama, without fail,
take full responsibility for this incident.
A gallant decision indeed.
Then it has been worthwhile for us to investigate the cause of the problem.
Right, everyone?
You still don't understand, do you?
The real cause of this accident is...
You, Mr. President.
What do you mean?
Since you took over as president,
it's impressive that you've rebuilt this company in two years.
At first glance.
But the reality is,
you restructured the company's workforce to eliminate experienced employees,
resulting in a shortage of human resources and reduction in safety.
Furthermore, for working at his own will,
and trying to spend money to improve the facilities,
I hear you're thinking of firing Ejima, the Factory Manager.
The reason why hygiene management at that factory is so thorough,
is all thanks to Mr. Ejima.
Without him, a bigger accident would have occurred.
Manager Katayama also tried to respond to your cost-cutting policy.
He had no choice but to act like that.
Professor, that's enough...
Are you saying it's all my fault?
It's only natural for a manager to cut costs.
Because of this incident, how many food centers affiliated with Exelan Foods,
have been damaged by this incident?
Investing money for safety,
is actually the most cost-effective way to save money in the long run.
Even if the people on the ground know this, it is difficult for them to implement it.
Only the top management of the company can make that decision.
President Kifune,
a company that neglects safety at the expense of cost cutting,
has no future.
In hindsight,
the reason why Factory Manager Ejima did not follow the president's policy,
was because he was trying to protect food safety, wasn't he?
At first glance, Factory Manager Ejima may seem cold,
but he was focused on what he had to do,
and did his best to avoid doing anything unnecessary.
That, too is important in eliminating mistakes.
On the other hand, if you are too busy,
someone like Katayama-san, who is burdened with too many things,
has a higher risk of making mistakes.
He worked so hard for the boss and the company,
and he even falsified the source, but still failed.
Somehow, that's kinda sad.
Ejima-san.
Oh, hello.
I heard about your investigation.
Why are you here?
The boss called me.
I may finally be fired.
In this case...
Whatever the circumstances, as the Factory Manager who missed it,
I must take responsibility.
The character for "food" means "to make people better".
"Food" (食) is a combination of two characters: "People" (人), and "Good" (良)
I take a small amount of pride in such work.
Thanks to your efforts to identify the true cause of the problem,
we are able to prevent another accident that could have happened at any time.
As someone in the food industry, I would like to thank you.
Mom, what are we eating today?
- It's cream croquette today. - Yay!
Is it delicious?
- Yes! Can I have another? - Of course!
- Tomo-kun, some more! - Alright!
You're too slow, I'll take over.
I'm already doing it.
I'm glad. The food poisoning accident investigation ended without incident.
I'm glad. The Factory Manager wasn't fired either.
I'm glad. I'm really happy for you.
It's like I said. The autonomous car fell through...
It's that person's fault. If you have a problem with that, talk to her.
