In Hand – Episode 1

Doctor Haruma Takaie is a critical care doctor at Daida General Hospital. One day, 2 patients comes in, both with heart attacks and both with a swollen eye. Both of them die within minutes of each other. He suspects it’s Chagas disease, caused by parasites, but his medical director dismisses this theory. Takaie’s strong moral compass leads him to file a complaint anonymously to the government.

Tomoe Makino is an overachieving government worker who’s been relocated from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the small group called Science Medical Responders Office. She vows to prove herself in less than 2 years, move back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and get a promotion. Her first assignment, however, is to handle the anonymous complaint filed against Daida General Hospital.

And finally, we have Professor Tetsu Himokura who is a parasitologists. He runs his own laboratory, complete with a conservatory called “Himokura Tropical Plant Garden”. He turns out to be a weird, anti-social, mad scientist with a robotic arm.

Three of them finds a way to stop fighting among themselves and start fighting to get to the bottom of this medical mystery case. Along the way, they find themselves picking a fight with the system–the government.

Translation Notes/Trivia

  • Takaie’s name means “Upper House”. Himokura makes fun of him calling him Yasuie or “Cheap House”.
  • Makino graduated from Tokyo University (Todai) Law School. Law is “hou”. However, Himokura makes fun of that by calling it “A-hou” meaning idiot.
  • This plot has a faint Sherlock/Watson parallel. Anyone else?

  1. Regrettably the subs don´t fit the DoA-version (and I tought that DoA comes from the NYAA-raw, but oviously it´s altered) and excessive re-timing is necessary :-(.

      1. But version Nyaa is 180p… DoA is 720p. Are not you going to continue with this version (1080p)? In nyaa only this version came out. I do not see the need re-timing when Raw used is already good

  2. Whoa!! So fast!! Thanks a lot for episode 1!! <3 May I ask you permission to retranslate your subtitles into Spanish for my fansub? Of course I'll give you proper credits.

  3. Thank you so much for your handwork^^
    I’ve finished watching your hardsub for ep1 of In Hand and noticed that the part after 29:40 suddenly got cut (the talking part with the father of suicide girl) , idk is it on purpose or not, but just in case, it’s not, I think I should let you know.
    Sorry if this comment makes you feel bad or anything, that really isn’t my intention at all. I really feel thankful for your translation

  4. I feel like some scene missing while three of the visit Eriguchi house. The first episode is around 59 minutes so soft Sub might not fit full length version.

    1. Actually I just cropped out the commercial break preview. No scene/line is missing. And I make the softsubs fit because I crop after the fact.

      1. It may be my mistake. I will rewatch again as this drama is so nice. Thank you for subbing for us.

        1. Actually you guys were right. There are some scenes/lines cut around there. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for pointing that out.

  5. Thank you for subbing this show. I have to admit I was on the fence about this one, robotic hand and all, but it is Yamapi so I am looking forward to watching.

  6. Thank you very much for subbing this! Aside from wanting to see Yamapi again, his character here and I work in the same field so it’s really interesting how this will be portrayed in the drama.
