To National Advanced Medical Center. Transporting the Vice-Minister of Finance.
Emergency car passing through.
Shinko-san. Please wake up.
- Shinko-san, wake up! - Shut up...
Ou... ouch.
Thanks for taking care about that silly daughter of mine.
What? His bowl is so full.
That's only natural. He came here especially to fetch you.
Shinko-ne has been late or absent countless times.
Even if you're a civil servant, you can still get fired.
What's that called? The thing that can fire someone.
National Civil Service Law. Paragraph 78.
Get it?
How annoying.
- Annoying... - It's rude to speak that way.
- Wait for me! - Wait.
Don't leave behind any leftovers.
Yes.
Are you okay? You've reached the hospital. Can you hear me?
Kunieda-kun. It must be hard on you to welcome me especially.
Good morning. Vice-Minister.
How was the ambulance ride?
The ride was so smooth. It was just 10 minutes. From my house.
Vice-minister is privileged to receive the treatment of a research patient.
So, your treatment fee will also be covered by the taxes.
So it's free advanced treatment for one that costs 3 million Yen.
[National Advanced Medical Center. Head of Secretariat. Kunieda Koichi]
You... have a good reputation in our ministry.
How noisy. Annoying. Quiet.
If you do it like that...
He must have gotten attached to her.
Doesn't it seem more like in-love?
- They came to work together this morning too. - Huh?
Together? But, their houses are in totally different directions.
Must be that he's getting attracted to things he doesn't have.
Kudo. Come here for a minute.
Okay.
Listen. Don't get too close to that woman.
- What? - If you trust her, you'll only suffer.
Any guy who trusted her, met with misfortune.
- Why do you know that...? - I just know.
Understand? Don't get close to that woman.
Shinko-san.
What?
- Did anything happen between Chief and you? - What?!
- What? - What?
There's nothing. Nothing. Nothing!
- What are you saying? - Then, just now...
- Just now... what did I say? - Shut up, Double Perms.
'Double Perms?'
Two natural perms fighting... pisses me off.
Because we're both natural perms... Don't say 'Double Perms' again.
Don't fight. Don't fight. Don't fight and look at my urna.
Worship it.
Do you feel a sense of tranquility?
With this, it's exactly the time to start work. This is our next case.
National Advanced Medical Center.
- Medical Center? - A hospital.
Hospital? Why a hospital?
This National Hospital has an independent administration.
As everything there is paid using taxes.
Our investigation targets are all the medical personnel and civil servants there.
If you want to work here, this is considered basic knowledge.
- Shut your mouth, Double Perm. - That isn't a group name!
- For one person, it's Single Perm! - That's simply how our hair are!
- Hold on. - You're insulting...
A hospital is different from government agencies. It's not pressuring there.
So just relax. Go there with ease.
Ok. Go, go, go. Go. Here we go.
[Incoming call. Kurukome]
They see 20,000 patients yearly.
The National Advanced Medical Center is leading Japan in cancer treatment.
And is also one of the best in the world.
So, what's wrong with that impressive hospital?
It's plagued by a disease.
Disease?
I hope you can save those suffering in the hospital.
Shinko-san.
Oh, and you are?
Yes. I'm Kudo Yu from the Special Investigation Division.
The rising star with bright future.
What?
You graduated with honors in Economics from Tokyo University.
I've heard your father and relatives are all bureaucrats.
Yes.
I have high hopes of you.
Yes!
Are you trying to deceive an officer with a bright future this time?
- Huh? - Kudo... he
He said he wants to be my little brother.
What little brother. What's your motive?
Is it money? Or his body?
Ouch.
Wait!
- You! - We're leaving first.
Ouch!
Ouch...
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Come in quick.
Didn't I tell you to wait.
Please press 'Close' only after everyone has entered.
Every government offices, public agencies, institutions and organizations are
built by our taxes. In other words...
Taxes are what the citizens entrust to the country.
Protecting this money and the citizens is the job of the Board of Audit

Take this! Officers who eat the hospital funds
Impressive.
Call the plastic surgeon here!
Intubation.
VF! Defibrillator. Charge to 150!
Did you see the name tag?
They're just residents. How shocking.
- *Registers? - Residents.
Medical interns don't hit the register here.
As expected of a medical center. Everyone's an elite.
(*Shinko mispronounced 'rejidento' as 'rejiuchi'. Literally 'hitting the cash register')
This kanji that looks like a pattern. How do you read it?
Which word?
This is... Head... head...?
[Department for Head and Neck]
- Department for Head and Neck. - That means neck, right.
Well done, Spaghetti Squash.
- Enough with that, you... - Then, this is?
The departments has nothing to do with our investigations. Let's go.
Not that. This.
[Head of Secretariat] [Director]
- What's the 'Director?' - Huh?
Is he the most powerful here?
- You don't even know what the director is!? - Strange. Really strange.
The Head of Secretariat being above the director is really strange.
What's so weird about it?
That means above the Boss of Yakuza ('Kumicho', refers specifically to Boss of Yakuza)
is another Big Boss?* ('Kumicho', refers specifically to Boss of Yakuza)
Yakuza?
Don't use words like 'Boss,' or 'Big Boss' here.
- Your world and ours are not... - Achoo!
Are you listening to me?!
Isn't that the Director?
A well-known doctor...
[National Advanced Medical Center Director. Sakurai Shouzou]
Our grip got much better compared to when we just came...
Good Morning. Director Sakurai.
So he's the Head of Secretariat?
I've heard that the Vice-Minister of Finance is hospitalized.
We have many patients needing our help in this hospital.
- A patient like him... - He is the Vice-Minister of Finance.
The price of his life is different from others.
'Price of life?'
This is the conclusion I came to as the Head of Secretariat.
Bye then.
That Head of Secretariat is acting big.
His suit and shoes are all branded. And the Director is just wearing sandals.
Not done yet?
We even handed you the accounts in advance.
We are currently verifying the documents. Please wait for a while more.
Excuse me.
5 years ago, 50 billion yen was spent to renovate this hospital?
What about that?
The renovation costs for a hospital is typically 30 million but you spent 50 million yen per bed.
- Why is that? - Per bed?
A private room costs 50 million yen.
What... that's equivalent to a high class apartment.
In my opinion, a comfortable hospitalization benefits the patients.
I won't call it pointless, but 50 million per room is...
We like to make a careful examination.
So could you please submit the construction quote
and a detailed Debts and Liabilities Statement?
The Board of Audit has no right to point fingers at us.
Yes.
Don't they know who's the boss here.
Get them to leave.
I see. So a bed costs 50 million Yen.
Great. We found a great CL...
Huh? 'CL.'
Meaning 'Losses of the Country. ' Let's give it to them.
Sounds nice.
Yes. This is Myochin.
Commissioner Chacha.
Yes. Okay. So we have to put the Medical Center Case aside
and investigate an urgent case?
Bu... But we've already started a field investigation.
And signs of CL have been found...
So please... do...
No.
I will be supervising them as my responsibility. So, please let us!
Please be cautious, okay?
How rare for Assistant Manager Myochin to try so hard.
I wonder?
He stood up for us. I'm truly delighted.
But, is that mole, a switch?
If I press it long enough will he stop moving?
- You should try that next time. - I don't want.
- Assistant Manager Myochin... - Excuse me.
It's Shinko-san.
Shinko? - Yes.
I still couldn't comprehend why there's a Big Boss above the Boss.
What? Why mention that suddenly?
That has nothing to do with the investigation.
Furthermore, he's not some 'Big Boss. ' He's the Head of...
Anyway, go investigate who that all-so-powerful Kunieda guy is.
[Listing of various subsidies]
What's wrong?
- Nothing... - Shinko-san!
I'd checked up on that Kunieda.
He's a *amakudari officer from the Ministry of Finance.
(*Senior bureaucrats who retire to high-profile positions in the private and public sectors)
What's this Ministry of Finance about?
Controls the National Budget. They're the king among ministries.
That's not all.
The rest of the management also came from either the Ministry of Finance or of Health.
- They're all amakudari. - All the executives?
Yes. Total of 12. Including the part-timers.*
(*Basically means they still get paid whether they show up or not.)
What's a amakudari?
It means God descending. The heavenly beings coming down.
Those bureaucrats become the management of organizations and corporations in their jurisdiction.
What? I don't get your explanation.
- Why not! The bureaucrats are... - That's enough...
- I'm off to have a chat with someone. - Who?
The real powerful one.
Wait!
[Director Sakurai Shouzou]
- Sorry for the sudden visit. - Not at all.
I'm not in charge of the business.
So, I don't know much about the account processing.
What I want to know is why Kunieda holds more power than you.
Hey!
What are you going to do with that?
- That was rude of her. - No. It doesn't matters.
That's the truth.
This center has been hijacked by Kunieda.
Can you take in one more from the Ministry of Finance?
As the executive spots are already filled up...
Shall we set up a position called Curator of the Medical Library?
It's part-time, so there's no need to come for work.
After he came,
our medical supplies and equipment makers got changed completely.
Director Kunieda. How do you find our new medicine?
We'll talk about this during golf.
Thanks to him, we can't even use cheap generic drugs.
His mind is filled with profits, not the patients.
Why didn't you stop him?
In order to continue medical treatment in this hospital,
We need subsidies from the government.
In order to get them, we have to follow Kunieda's words.
That feels really odd.
If that's so, can't you stand up, and chase him out as the boss?
If I could, it'd have been done long ago.
Did Kunieda take away your control of personnel too?
He did.
From the doctors to the residents.
Then, if you go against Kunieda...
That simply means I have to leave.
How can that...
Whatever! I just can't comprehend it.
Don't get so angry.
But, isn't a amakudari like Kunieda pointless?
Kudo-kun.
Judging the good or bad of amakudari isn't our job.
Then, we let them do as they please?
Either way, we have to abandon this case.
It's too bad, but we have to.
Why?
It's exactly what he said. Remember, our opponents are the amakudari.
Kaneda-san.
I'm grabbing a bite.
Kaneda.
What were you hiding in the morning?
What do you mean?
Tecchan. What do you think of Tsutsumi Shinko?
I don't like her.
Insensitive and reckless.
That's right.
Furthermore...
When I see her, I'll remember that incident.
Why is this so?!
The fraud we found at the Japan Defense Agency is 10 billion yen.
Why was it announced as 800 million yen!?
This is a necessary compromise to secure the future of our amakudari!
Give up.
You call that a reason?
- I can't accept this! - Tecchan.
The conversation ends here!
I will inform you of your punishment shortly.
Bureau Chief...
Stop it. Tecchan.
[Letter from Personnel]
It's the end for Kaneda too.
With this, he has no more chance for promotion.
He's pretty stupid... to get deceived by that guy (Kadomatsu).
I'm sorry.
No. Please don't take it to heart.
I don't blame you.
But it's simply dangerous for Kudo who admires that woman.
Indeed. Tsutsumi Shinko is dangerous.
But, I feel that she possesses something that we don't.
Like...
a power that can overcome any obstacle.
Tecchan
If you grab hold of any evidence, tell me.
The center was rebuilt 5 years ago.
Which took place shortly after Kunieda's arrival.
This looks gorgeous.
The 50 billion yen renovation was paid for by the government.
However, they have to pay an interest of 3 billion yen yearly.
3 billion yen?
That sum is not easily covered by the hospital's earnings.
And from that year onwards,
The research funds from various ministries had a sudden increase.
Over here.
This sums up to 3 billion yen too.
All this, in exchange for the amakudari?
I'm afraid all these are done by Kunieda the Head of Secretariat.
All Kunieda thinks about is to change the hospital
according to his likes and obtain more power.
Isn't this... large scale misuse of subsidies?
Let's gather evidence and go after Kunieda.
You can't.
If you do that the subsidies will stop
and the hospital will cease to function.
That's similar to how loan sharks operate.
Force them into debt... to make them listen.
Interesting.
Where are you going?
If I can't strike at the top, I'll try the bottom.
What? Bottom?
If the top boss is the director, then the runners at the bottom are...
- Ouch. - Sorry.
Them.
There's so many residents here.
Wa... It stinks. And dirty. The futon's still out.
It's bad to peek. This really stinks.
But what a shock. A doctor living in a 6 tatami room (9ft x 12 ft).
Like a row house.
It's the residents in Emergency.
I'm hungry.
They're here.
Welcome <3
Kadomatsu-san has been waiting.
What are you planning?
Both of you are doctors?
No. We're still medical interns.
Then, you don't have the money to come to this place yet.
Yes. We're 3K*.
(*refers to job. kitanai, kiken, kitsui = dirty, dangerous, demanding)
Dirty. Stinky.
You have to pay.
Thank you very much.
Why do I have to pay...!
This is Wulong Tea.
According to the contract, residents are part-timers working 30 hours per week.
Their pay is 200,000 yen. Without any bonus.
Working for just 5-6 hours daily, that's only natural.
That's not true! In reality, we're working 24/7.
Oi!
Sorry. I just blurted it out.
If we get paged, we have to rush there, even on holidays or at night.
There's insufficient doctors. Getting 3 hours of sleep is considered good.
Huh?!
You're in-charge of people lives. Why such a treatment?
That is...
In order to cut down on wages,
Director Kunieda doesn't treat us as full-timers.
Our timesheet are also modified to record 30 hours per week.
The annual salary of the amakudari averages 20 million yen.
Yet, they couldn't even afford to pay those who's really working.
Right, we can get them for illegal modification of timesheets.
Then, Kunieda and his goons can be defeated in one go for violating the Labors Standard Act.
- We even have witnesses here. - That would be a problem.
What?
If we testify, we'll get fired.
We will also be unable to work at other hospital.
But, this is all done for you.
Sorry, but we want to continue with this job.
Sorry!
But, are you fine with the center being invaded by the amakudari?
- Someone will... - Let them be!
Sorry for involving you both.
Why did you stop me? Let me persuade them...!
Did you have your head in the clouds after getting praised by Kurukome?
Our duty is to stand by justice and
- right the wrongs... - That's what pisses me.
I don't know what kind of young master you are
but you have never felt hunger before, right?
They're gonna lose their job by testifying.
If those guys get fired, can you take responsibility?
That is...
Can you look after them for life?
You don't understand poverty or setback.
That's why you can say such beautiful words.
If you want to do it, do it yourself.
I'm not doing it.
Can't you lecture him in a more gentle way?
It came. The preaching from Double Perm.
Okay. Now you owe 1,138,350 yen*. (*He put 100 yen into the machine)
He just entered society.
So he doesn't know the fear of losing his livelihood or career.
Makes me angry.
What made you so angry?
Yes. What?
Collapsed?
Who collapsed?
Mizore, what's wrong?
Mum just grabbed her stomach and crouched down.
Doc. How's she?
Your mother...
Had diarrhea.
- What? - Diarrhea?
What the?!
So sorry for not being able to die. Hahaha...
- It's not 'Hahaha'. Seriously. - What the!
He's like this and you too.
[Chocolate Bread]
Chocolate bread caused the diarrhea?
When Shinko-ne came back
mum bought them secretly.
She loves chocolate bread.
Chocolate bread?
However, she couldn't give it to her honestly.
Chocolate bread?
Because this is why Shinko-ne started swindling.
Chocolate bread is?
My father owed a huge debt and disappeared without a trace.
And mum eloped, so she couldn't return her parents' home for years.
We were really poor then.
We couldn't even afford chocolate bread.
When Shinko-ne was in elementary school
her classmates stole a chocolate bread.
I don't want this bread.
Did you kids steal my bread?
It's not me! It's not me!
It's Shinko-chan.
So you stole it.
I didn't.
Then, what is this?
- I didn't. - Come here.
It's not me.
He scolded her unsparingly.
Nobody believed her. She got bullied.
Pauper!
Thief!
Because nobody believed her she decided to play along, and started stealing.
That's why she became a swindler?
Yes.
- Over something so trivial!? - That's not trivial!
Especially to someone in poverty.
[Residents' Timesheet]
This timesheet has been modified flawlessly.
As expected of those from Ministry of Finance. Then, we can't use this.
I'll try a direct attack once more.
Kaneda. Can you check if there's anything illegal in the Center's renovation case?
Where's Tsutsumi-kun?
She's sulking in the lounge.
Wonderful.
Ah, Kudo-kun just called some time ago.
He has a slight fever, so he's taking the day off.
Could you testify that timesheets were illegally modified?
Please don't do this here.
I beg you. This is all done for you!
All Kunieda thinks about is...
how to change the hospital according to his likes and to obtain more power.
I beg you. Please testify about the overtime...
I beg of you!
What are you doing. That's the wrong drug! Get a new drip!
- Yes. - Ambu-bag.
Excuse me.
- Prepare for intubation. - Yes.
Because of lack of sleep, I couldn't think straight.
I deeply apologize for this.
Luckily it didn't turn serious...
but please ready yourself for disciplinary actions.
Wait a minute.
A mistake is a mistake. But he has been trying harder than anyone else.
Working nonstop and not a wink of sleep...
What nonsense is this?
Residents only work 30 hours per week.
That's what is written on this timesheet.
But, an excellent talent like him...
You will be notified of the actions shortly after the committee meeting.
Wait a minute.
Please look at this.
Our real timesheet is written down here.
For two years, we've been writing in this.
After looking at this, the committee members might pardon him.
If you do that, you will receive the same disciplinary action.
Please let me look at that journal.
The Board of Audit.
If you want to pass it to him, just do it.
Please pass them to me.
Please.
How unfair.
Unfair?
You better prepare yourself too.
House arrest?
A formal complaint was made to Commissioner Chacha.
He tried to obtain a journal from the resident.
And spoke recklessly to Kunieda.
All thanks to your stirring up. He might even get transferred away.
I'm very sorry.
But, I...
Yes. I understand, I understand.
However, you're a career officer with a bright future.
I've talked to the superiors. As a condition for apology,
You will take a 2-3 days leave, and reflect on your actions.
Let's go apologize to Head of Secretariat, Kunieda together tomorrow.
I can't do that.
Let's go apologize.
Alright?
Even though the amakudari are compared to heavenly beings,
they came from restructuring.
Only one person can become the Vice-Minister of any office.
All others have to leave the offices sooner or later.
They're still at their prime, yet without a post.
You mean something like amakudari is a necessity?
I'm the same too. I'm already at my peak as the manager.
If someone else gets promoted, I'll get thrown aside.
Everyone is frantically trying to survive.
You will understand this someday.
Take good care of yourself.
Okay?
As the residents continue working, Kudo is gonna get thrown aside.
The amakudari are just that powerful.
Kudo left?
He left, so what happens to the apology?
I don't know.
He stayed over in the reference room last night.
The laptop was left on, and data is everywhere.
I told him, but yet...
He probably empathize with his fellow newbies.
What's this?
The community log between the residents.
Community?
A gathering spot on the internet.
What is this? Other then talking about the overtime,
They even posted on the bulletin during working hours.
'I added hot water to the ramen cup' 'I've finished my ramen'
Ramen, and ramen... Do they love ramen so much?
Ramen?
Why did Kudo print out these...
Ramen...
VF! Defibrillator. Charge to 150!
Charged.
Sorry.
[I added hot water to the ramen cup.]
I'm hungry.
Anyway, find Kudo.
If we don't stop him, he's really gonna get thrown aside.
Let's go.
Did you come here to apologize?
No.
Huh?
I have something to say...
Something to say... that...
Other than an apology, I've nothing to do with you.
But, that...
I still think it's too high.
What do you mean?
No... on average,
Everyone gets an annual salary of 20 million yen each, with you getting the most.
I think that's too high...
So you mean we're wasting taxes?
What I want to say is...
In comparison, the residents' annual salary is only 10% of yours is unfair.
For just working 30 hours weekly. That's only natural.
No. Truth is, everyday, they are forced to do heavy labor under long hours.
They commit medical errors due to overwork.
And under your instructions, timesheet are illegally modified.
Where's your proof? Did the residents testify for it?
I don't have their testimony or journal.
But...
If you want an equivalent proof, I have it here.
Kudo!
Stop this! Kudo-kun!
Do you know the website flourishing among the medical personnel recently?
Huh?
Due to the recent lack of doctors
Medical personnel have been exchanging information during physical exams or operations.
With this, problems outside their area of expertise and during any emergencies are solved.
And this is that log.
A record of their exchange.
I'm really sorry!
Please stop this. Why must you apologize!
Sorry.
Raise your head.
I'm the same as him...
Didn't I tell you to stop this!
I couldn't do a thing...
I regretted it too, but there's nothing I can do.
But...
Hareumi record 1.
'At 2am, the patient took a turn for the worse.'
'The heart stopped.'
'Thank you for the fast reply.'
'At night, without any guidance from the doctors'
'I was really anxious.'
'According to the advice, I administered amiodarone.'
'And performed the heart message till 5 am without stopping.'
[Advice from experienced doctor]
'I'm glad I continued the heart message till my hand went numb.'
'The patient... returned to life.'
This is Nareumi record 2.
'It's 4am now.'
'Shit, I'm sleepy.'
'Ramen cup is also gradually dying from overwork.'
'But if I fall asleep, the patient will...'
'I'll take the health drink, and work hard.'
'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.'
'Everyone's encouragement became our strength.'
'Above all, we thanked the patient who did their best.'
'Thanks. Saying thanks and shaking our hands.'
'Same to you too. Thank you.'
'Thanks. We're really grateful.'
These are what I selected from a computer in the Medical Center.
After looking at this, it's apparent that they're overworked.
That is just some nonsense posted on the internet.
It can't become evidence.
I'm sorry. He's still a newbie.
Please, please forgive him for his impoliteness.
Please forgive him.
Are you stupid? How can I forgive him?
I wonder who's the stupid one...
There's many ramen written in those postings.
'I added hot water to ramen cup' 'I've finished my ramen cup'
Furthermore, the time between adding water and finishing up is really long.
'Adding hot water.' is clocking in.
'Finishing up.' is clocking out!
That's probably the code between them.
And, this journal.
If the time written here matches the 'ramen cup' time,
This can become solid evidence of the mistreatment of those kids.
Where did that come from.
Picked it up.
Single Perm.
Let's calculate.
Yes!
Then, I'm starting.
According to the journal, one kid roughly...
Works for over 200 hours monthly.
- Their hourly wages? - 2000 yen per hour = 400,000 yen.
Multiply by their numbers?
Around 50 people = 20 million yen.
Multiply by 1 year?
240 million yen.
By the way, what is the average annual salary of the amakudari?
Roughly 20 million yen.
- Number of people? - 12 people =
240 million yen!
Perfect match.
Without you guys,
The salaries of those kids can be easily paid for.
What's wrong with this woman!
I'm entrusted with the management of this hospital.
How can someone like you point a finger at me...
Shut up! 4-eyes-loan shark.
The doctors, nurses and kids working here.
Everyone of them sacrificed with their own time to fight against death with all their might.
Compared to that, you guys...
Only know how to abuse your position to waste billions of yen.
Even if I put you guys together,
You still can't be compared to any kids here.
You, 4-eyes-loan shark who's smeared with greed...
Get out of here right now.
The salaries that's paid to you guys
Please return it all back to the Golden Pig.
Return our money.
Good morning.
Did you see this! The government accepted our report and
Ordered the Ministry of Health to improve the working conditions of the residents.
All the executives under Director Kunieda have been replaced.
It'll be nice if some medical personnel become the successor.
This urna must be beaming again.
Don't get too big-headed.
What?
You crushed one, but the amakudari are like bamboo shoots after a rain.
It's pointless.
Well, we'll proceed step by step, slowly.
Yes!
Recently, everyone has been putting in their best efforts.
Papa too...
Maybe I should do that too.
Kudo Yu.
Thank you very much.
For what?
Nothing...
If you're not around,
I'd really get kicked out.
Too bad.
What?
If you want to become my little brother
you must come fetch me properly.
What?
Thanks to you, I'm late today.
If I lose my job, you'll be responsible for it.
Yes!
Did you steal that journal?
I didn't.
Then, how?
I convinced him.
You did?
You wouldn't believe me anyway.
No...
I believe you.
Aren't you stupid?
Anata wo mamoritai kara motto mamoritai kara Because I want to protect you, because I want to always protect you
