- REMAKE
We follow the fictional Ninth Forensic Section of the National Research Institute of Police Science, colloquially known as “the Ninth.” When the victim or perpetrator of a brutal serious crime dies, the Ninth conducts an MRI investigation by scanning their brain and visually reconstructing their memories from before death. As the images are those “seen” by the deceased, they can reflect hallucinations, illness, delusions, and preconceptions.
With exceptionally good looks, remarkable memory, and keen perception, Tsuyoshi Maki is a founding member and now the chief of the Ninth. He once shot and killed a colleague, Katsuhiro Suzuki, in self-defense after Suzuki went insane from viewing the mental images of a serial killer who had committed grotesque murders. Maki had secretly harbored romantic feelings for Suzuki since their college days. As Maki wrestles with the guilt of having killed a loved one by his own hand, a rookie investigator named Aoki, who looks just like Suzuki, joins his section. Struggling with the feelings of guilt and conflict that arise from seeing the thoughts and secrets kept by the deceased until their deaths, the two form an irreplaceable bond while striving to solve difficult cases.
Aoki later meets Yukiko, Suzuki’s ex-fiancée, and finds himself attracted to her. Maki is aware of Aoki’s affection for Yukiko but secretly develops feelings for him.
As they deal with their own emotions, Maki and Aoki explore the sometimes cruel, sometimes sad memories and unspoken truths of the dead.
