Naoki Urasawa's Monster Season 1 Episode 12 A Little Experiment

Dr. Kenzo Tenma is a highly respected and talented neurosurgeon who is faced with a dilemma: should he save the life of a young boy or the mayor of a town? He chooses to save the boy, Johan, and soon after, the mayor dies on the operating table. This decision sets in motion a chain of events that will change Tenma's life forever.

In episode 12, titled "A Little Experiment", Tenma finds himself in a small village in the Czech Republic where he has been taken in by a retired doctor, Richard Braun. Braun is a former colleague of Tenma's and is also familiar with the events that led to his downfall. He offers Tenma a place to stay and a job as his assistant, but Tenma is hesitant to stay in one place for long.

As Tenma settles into his new job and life, he begins to notice some strange occurrences. People seem to be going missing, and no one wants to talk about it. Braun brushes it off as a simple misunderstanding, but Tenma can't shake the feeling that something is off. He decides to do a little experimenting of his own by examining the remains of a recently deceased young girl.

Tenma is shocked by what he finds. The cause of death is not what it initially appeared to be, and the autopsy results lead Tenma to believe that this small village may be involved in some sort of human experimentation. He shares his findings with Braun, who is dismissive and tells him to leave it alone.

As Tenma investigates further, he discovers that the village is under the control of a powerful family, the Petrovas. They have been involved in shady dealings for years, and it's possible that they are behind the experimentation. Tenma tries to gather more evidence, but he is caught in the act and must flee for his life.

Meanwhile, Johan, the boy whose life Tenma saved, has resurfaced in the Czech Republic. It's unclear what he's doing there, but it's clear that he has some sort of connection to the Petrovas. The mystery surrounding Johan becomes even deeper when Tenma discovers that he may not be the boy's only savior.
