Monster
Season 01
E02 - Downfall
Dr. Tenma is able to save Johan’s life, but Mayor Roedecker dies during surgery under Dr. Boyer. He and Dr. Oppenheim scold Dr. Tenma stating that the doctors had to scramble to cover for him at the last minute resulting in Mayor Roedecker’s death. Dr. Oppenheim has forwarded his report to the director. As a news report states that flowers were left at City Hall and a decision for a new mayor is taking place, Director Heinemann stated in a press conference that Mayor Roedecker died of a cerebral infarction and that they did their best to save his life. Later at a hospital staff banquet while apologizing to Director Heinemann, Dr. Tenma is shocked when Dr. Boyer is revealed to be the new Head of Neurosurgery. Despite forgiving Tenma and letting him continue working in the hospital, Director Heinemann states that he won’t accept his papers for the next health summit nor recommend him in the event of a transfer. As Tenma leaves the banquet, Eva Heinemann callously breaks off their engagement, dropping her ring at his feet. Dr. Tenma confesses at the bedside of the apparently unconscious Johan that he wishes Director Heinemann was dead. Meanwhile, Detective Egon Weisbach tries to get Anna Liebert to remember her name and the events of the night her parents died. Director Heinemann suggests to Dr. Boyer and Dr. Oppenheim providing photographs of the Liebert twins to the media, in order to play on public sympathy and garner attention for the hospital. He casually offers the other doctors candy donated to the sick children and orders Oppenheim to reassign Boyer as Johan’s attending physician. There was a brief argument between Tenma and Boyer about his photographic action as Boyer states to Tenma that he served his purpose with the boy. Some nights later, a nurse discovers Dr. Oppenheim and Dr. Boyer dead in their offices while Eva finds her father dead in his study.
