You should've just waited for me here, so you didn't need to waste money on a ticket.
It's only 130 yen so don't worry.
I came all the way, especially for you Mom!
I do know how to get here!
If I'd known earlier, I would have taken cheaper route. (note: basically a route that can save money)
A cheaper route...?
The small bus to the station!
Then I wouldn't have had to pay the 130 yen!
You didn't know that? You must be getting old!
You're getting older too.
This way
Where is it...
Your always losing stuff....
Wait a minute.
Noriko
I thought I saw Jiro just then.
Where!
It wasn't him.
It was someone else.
You don't see each other anymore?
It's because of Jiro,
I had to quit my job at the hospital.
But now,
you have a new job at a new hospital.
And, its been a while since I've lived with my Mom.
That's also another way of thinking of it.
This is a nice place, isn't it?
Our old apartment is nearby, you used to come here often.
Do you like this river?
Huh?
When you had a fight or argument with classmates,
or just wanted to have a yell,
then you would always come here.
That's kids stuff
You also came here after you broke up with...
Huh?
What was that guys name... Shinji-kun or was it Hideki-kun?
What!? Stop it!
I didn't come here crying, really...
Mom...You've got all this luggage to carry, why did you buy mandarin oranges as well?
Because you like to eat them.
No! Stop!!!
Mom what happened!
Here's one too.
I found another one.
-Here you go -Did you find them all?
I'll throw it!
Good catch!
You could be on the school team.
I'm not a teenager!

[Shimura Residence]
Looks good.
Doesn't it!
I think it's cute.
This area looks very bare, doesn't it.
We should plant some flowers to make it better, right?
Good idea.
I'll stop at the florist on my way back.
How about I ask the landlord?
He'll know a good place.
Do a good job at the hospital.
It's a new job,
so it's very important.
That's a lot of pressure!
You have a new job too, so do your best as well.
Not a problem.
I'm leaving now.
Take care.
Wait, what is this?
The entrance is on the other side.
Oh, excuse me.
-Excuse me -Yes?
Do you know if this parking spot is assigned to anyone?
This car park's for staff only...
you should park over there.
Visiting hours begin in the afternoon.
But I...
Sorry
I'm in a hurry...
If you have any questions,
please go to the Nurse Information Center.
Good morning.
Please give me your support.
This is amazing!
Good morning
Taori-san
Will you get the charts for room 301 for me?
Yes
Huh...
You're from earlier...
Good morning everyone.
Good morning
This is the new nurse starting today.
Noriko Shimura
She worked in Aiwasogo Hospital for 3 years,
and is very talented.
I'm Shimura
Nice to meet you.
Sorry about earlier.
No problem.
Have you two met already?
Yes..No..well, kind of..
Isn't that suspicious?
Stop it!
Kobayashi-sensei, here are the charts.
Thank you
I'm a resident doctor.
Nice to meet you.
Same here.
So, your mother has been a nurse for 30 years.
Yes
At Niigata, but now,
she's lives in Tokyo with me.
She also had her first day at a new job today.
But your mother chose to work
at a senior citizen's home, right?
I'm also the manager
of 'Tokyo Home'
I hope your mother will be able to help out there
My mother will be happy to help
Please give us your guidance.
Sorry I'm late
There's a motorcycle parked in my spot.
Good morning Miss
This is my daughter, Mikko.
She helps manage the hospital
Today, I started work here. I'm Shimura
Nice to meet you
Have you seen her on TV or in magazines?
Never mind, Papa
Never mind
Don't mention that.
Excuse me,
Is that motorcycle red?...
It's yours?
Yes
Please move it later,
That's my parking place.
I'm sorry
Mikko
Can you make some coffee for me?
Yes
Please take a seat.
In this place...
Can I be frank?
The issue of men...
In this hospital, we condone complicated dating relationships.
We heard that your boyfriend hit the previous hospital chairman's son.
He wasn't my boyfriend.
He was a friend that moved from Niigata...
Friend or boyfriend doesn't matter.
There was still a problem.
If you have the same problems here,
we will fire you immediately
and you won't work anywhere else again.
Do you understand?
Yes
That's good you understand then.
I heard you are a great nurse, I hope to see your performance
as a team leader.
Give us your help.
Well then,
I'll leave her in your hands.
Yes, I understand.
Let's go
Excuse us.
Excuse us
-She's a new hire..? -Yes
She's very pretty.
Worried about Kobayashi-sensei?
Not really
There's no need to worry.
I just hope there's no trouble
If there's another fight like at her last place, that'll be the worst thing for the hospital.
Who is the guy the Chairman mentioned? Your boyfriend or what?
Will it really be alright?
It'll be fine.
He doesn't know I work here.
That's good
Yes
For your first time on crutches, you're doing good.
Even though it's your first day,
I need you to work the night shift.
Sure!
It's tough working the night shift on your first day
But still, I'm better off...
At my last hospital,
they never considered that we had a life outside.
I heard that the nurses here are respected.
When you're treated well, you will give it your best!
Don't get your hopes up too high.
I'll help you.
This is already done.
Later, there'll be lots to do, so help then.
Then, excuse me
Earlier you said Kobayashi-sensei,
mistook you as a visitor of a patient?
Yes, he did.
I see
Kobayashi-sensei,
He's not really a picky person.
No, that's not true.
He was top student at the University. An elite doctor.
He's treats his patients and studies with enthusiasm!
The Chairman thinks he's one of the best doctors.
He's a good doctor, handsome, a great personality and he's single!
Is that so?
But we're just lower level nurses, we've got no chance with him.
He's the Chairman's
future son-in-law.
He's engaged to..
Mikiko-san?
Yeah,
The hospital's future Chairperson
has another identity!
She's a model?
How cool!
That's right
I thought I'd seen her somewhere before.
But,
Aside from Kobayashi-sensei,
I think there's someone else the Chairman's daughter has in mind...
Who?
Well, I think you'll find out soon enough.
Naoe-sensei!
I haven't met him yet
He's working this shift, I should go say hello.
You don't need to do that.
You sure...
Why not?
Yes, Gyoda Hospital
Yes
Yes, age and sex?
Yes [Shimura]
Okay, so you'll arrive in 5 minutes at the rear entrance?
Yes, I got it.
Why is this happening on Naoe-sensei's shift...
An ambulance?
A male, around 20, got in a fight
he's bleeding seriously but conscious.
There's a lot of hemorrhaging.
We need to prepare for the worst.
Will you do me a favor, contact Naoe-sensei and ask him to return?
Go quickly and then come back.
How do I contact him, a pager?
Sorry
He's here, call this number.
[Purantan]
Wait
It's his shift, why do I have to call this place?
Please contact him immediately.
Okay
What's 'Purantan'?
Hello, this is 'Purantan'
Yes, he's here
Please hold on a moment.
This is Naoe.
This is Gyoda Hospital Service Center
There's an ambulance coming with a patient.
It looks like he was in a fight and got cut by glass.
Please come back immediately.
Adult?
Yes, about 20 something, male.
Conscious?
That's right.
What time will he arrive?
Maybe 5 minutes, no, more like 2 or 3
Please return immediately.
Got it, I'll be there is 7 minutes.
Okay
So you're still in...?
He'll be here in 7 minutes
Got it
Can you get an intubation kit.
Okay
Um, does this happen frequently?
It's like this because it's an emergency
No, I mean with the doctor not here...
Oh that..
Occasionally he's like that.
No way!
He's not here coz he's out drinking..?
If the head nurse asks you, don't let on you know anything.
But...
They're here
-Is everything ready? -Yes
Oi! What's goin' on? Where am I?
Let me go!
Shut up, stay away from me!!
This is none of your business.
Let me go... let me go shut up!
Jiro
Ouch!!
-Compression please. -Okay
What're you doin' to me?
What the hell?? Let go!
Jiro!
Everyone please come and hold him down
Why do we have to help?
Jiro! Why are you acting this way! Where is the doctor?
Someone'll go find the doctor
-Shimura-san you go -Yes!
Please hold him down
Let me go!!
Everywhere...It's always like this...
Is that Naoe-sensei?
Um...
The patient?
In the emergency room now.
Um... I'm new, my name is Shimura.
What's his blood pressure?
140 over 80
Temperature is 96
How deep is the cut?
It's hard to say, there's a lot of blood.
Are the others prepared?
Yes, they're ready.
Can you smell alcohol...
Yes, it looks like he drank a lot, and his behaviour's erratic.
No, I mean on me.
A little
You're the doctor!
Hurry up, take a look at him.
Hey, are you the doctor?
Do you understand... hurry up
-Ouch!!! What are you doing?? -It's alright, it's alright.
This guy,
Take him the toilets.
The toilets?
Shut him in a toilet cubicle
and lock it.
Wait for him to calm down.
Then, we'll release him.
But, he's injured, shouldn't you treat him?
Will that be ok to do?
It's just a flesh wound.
It's bleeding a little but that will stop.
Are you sure?
You can see he's full of energy, it'll be okay.
Wait!!
You are a doctor!
Those are my orders.
You give orders like this!
If you're dissatisfied,
then please take him to another hospital.
Do it now.
Wait, stop!
-What's going on? -What the hell is this!?
It hurts!!!
Naoe-sensei...
Do you really want us to lock him in the bathroom?
That guy....um...
He's injured
The toilets aren't hygenic!
What happens if he gets an infection?
No one told you to put his injury near the toilet.
That's exactly what you said.
He's thrashing about everywhere
His blood's spilling everywhere. Why not put him in the bathroom?
It'll be easier to clean it all up.
We can't put him in the toilets!
Also...
Whilst he's in there, he'll calm down.
Oi!! Let me out!!
What you're doing is bullshit!!
Man, he's annoying!
What the hell?!
Don't you think this is a bit despicable?
Please call the doctor.
Do us this favor and call him quickly.
I'm talking to you.
What's the matter?
Has he calmed down a bit?
Anybody there...let me out!
Perhaps a bit longer...
Hey doctor
You don't care
if the director finds out about this?
If we tell, you'll be in trouble.
Won't it be even worse if we talk to the media?
Have you thought about his medical fees?
Who'll pay?
What?
Why should we be expected to pay his fees?
You're his friends aren't you?
So what?
If your friend's so important,
Aren't you concerned about his care?
You bastard!!
What do you think you're doing!!
How much?
For his injuries, he needs to stay 10 days.
We have 4 person rooms or single rooms
Where do you want to put him?
Where?
A single room is 15,000 yen per day.
How can we afford that?
The cheaper is the 4 person room at 2,000 yen per day.
Today's charge,
plus 5 days in the hospital
will be about 60,000 yen
It that right?
Talking about money! How dare you call yourself a doctor!
Maybe we shouldn't stay here, we should go to another hospital.
It's the same where ever you go.
No hospital is free.
Anybody there? Let me out...
If you can't pay this amount,
I can't take care of him.
Hey... Why am I so stupid?
Noriko...?
Jiro!
Jiro...
Jiro!!
What his blood pressure?
124 over 76
His temperature is 80.
-Gauze -Here
-Do you know him? -What?
This guy
He's from my hometown.
I see
While he's asleep, give him 1500cc of medication.
When he wakes tomorrow, give him 15ml of pain medication.
If he's in a lot of pain, give him 15ml more but not more than 25ml.
Take his blood pressure every 3 and a half hours.
Yes
Take care of him.
If he's your friend,
then don't let him bother the others.
Arggh...why me...
Why did Jiro have to come to this hospital now?
But, if it weren't for Naoe-sensei,
then this situation wouldn't have settled down so easily.
Huh?
Naoe-sensei
rejected an invitation to work in the university hospital.
That's why no one ever complains about him...
even though there's been cause to.
Did anything happen?
Everything's been fine.
Thanks
Niroseki-san
-The emergency is over? -Yes
Naoe-sensei?
Ah.. he's in...
Okay..
Oh, this is for you all
please eat it.
As always, thank you.
New nurse?
I'm a medical representative from Frontier Pharmaceuticals, Niroseki Sayako.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Shimura, I worked for 3 years...
Bye
She's one of Naoe-sensei's favorites.
Favorites..?
What do you mean?
Why is she here this time of night...?
Excuse me.
-Shimura-san -Yes
About this...
Good morning
Good morning...
Shimura-san, a need a word.
Yes
The patient in room 305
was smoking.
He also used his cell phone.
I heard you're from the same town.
Yes
He's the one who hit the guy at your other job, right?
You!!
You said he didn't know where you were working now. You lied.
I didn't lie, that was the truth.
If it happens again, I will tell the Chairman.
This is the basic knowledge of a nurse..
You have to be very careful.
Toda, Jiro
What's his name?
He's Toda, Jiro.
That's a serious name.
How's he doing now?
The young are always in accidents.
Looks like he was in an accident and bashed his head.
There's a big gash...
You sure it was an accident?
I think it was a ski boat.
A ski boat..?
You're up early.
-Good morning -Good morning
I'd like to ask you something.
Who is the new guy?
Yeah, he came in late last night.
Because of his injury, he needs to rest a little.
Everyone here, can you take care of him.
-He is new! -You were right
And this is..?
Let me introduce you.
She is the new nurse, Shimura Noriko.
I'm Shimura, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Saruta!
Sa-ru-ta....
Never mind him
I'm Sasaki, I have intestinal problems...
Nice to meet you..
Umm..Kanzono Sezue
Umm.. I'm single.
-Call me Nobu-chan -Nobu-chan!?
Everyone, please get back in bed and rest.
You know this wheelchair,
Nobu-chan's wheelchair always sounds like its saying, "ouch, ouch, ouch"!
If you lot wanna pick up girls,
go somewhere else. This is a hospital.
I've changed his bandages.
Kobayashi-sensei will check on him later.
Okay
Good morning.
Hey.. why is he like that?
I don't believe him!
Actually talking about money!
Please understand
You're pretending not to know me.
What?
Jiro-san and
Shimura-san are childhood friends.
Are you mad?
You're mad huh, well I didn't ask to come to this hospital.
I really didn't know you were here.
Hey,
I saw you yesterday... I thought I was dreaming.
I guess it was because I was thinking about you seeing you too much.
But I know you're mad.
Because of the other stuff...
But that wasn't my fault.
At first, I didn't know I'd hit him.
Please be quiet.
I'm sorry I'm really sorry.
If you really feel this way,
sincerely think about it, then hurry up and leave the hospital.
Noriko~
I have a pain here.
I told the doctor too.
Because I work at this hospital,
Please refer to me properly.
-Good morning -Morning
I heard about last night,
there was a difficult patient, right?
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
There's nothing in the fridge.
I'll go buy something.
It's okay.
You worked the night shift, you must be tired.
I slept well, so I'm okay.
What's it like at the new hospital?
Good?
Yeah
It's alright. Everyone seems nice.
Well, I'm glad.
The first day and you worked the night shift...
Was it difficult?
Yeah, but it's no big deal.
So,
how about you?
How's your new job?
Me?
It's going well too!
The doctors are very good looking
What's that about?
Are there any single guys?
What are you talking about?
You're talking about a hospital.
I didn't mean anything really...!
That felt good.
It's cold...!
Wait a minute!
Then Naoe-sensei came..
That guy is cruel.
He neglects your wounds,
locks you in the bathroom and leaves, right?
He also said
if we couldn't pay the fees, he wouldn't take care of him.
Yeah
But we're happy now,
because we changed to another doctor.
But I think
I could still get kicked out.
I'll have to borrow the money.
Can you afford 60,000 yen?
It's expensive.
How can they kick you out?
You're injured. Lay back.
You need 2 weeks of rest in the hospital.
But, Naoe-sensei
asked if I was able to pay...
Don't worry about that.
I'll speak to Naoe-sensei.
Thank you
Can you take care of patient Ishikura-san.
His doctor is Naoe.
Yes
Ishikura has a cancerous tumor?
He's in the last stages.
But he doesn't know it.
Neither does his family.
He thinks it a stomach ulcer,
So please take care of him carefully.
Yes
[Room 407]
Excuse me.
I understand
Well, will you help me to fix it today?
I'll talk to the Chairman.
Thank you very much.
I'll do it.
Ishikura, how do you do.
I'm Shimura.
I'll take care of you from now on.
Nice to meet you.
Is that right?
You're a new nurse?
Nice to meet you.
I've had this stomach trouble for so long... It's still not better yet.
So it seems.
Naoe-sensei
The patient in room 305,
is it true you said if he didn't have the money, you wouldn't take care of him?
You heard that from his friends?
Yes
It's better if you stay away
from that group of people...
You asked them if they could afford the fee..
I did.
How could you?
We are an emergency hospital.
Not a convenience store or wholesale shop.
It's not about that,
Don't sick people have to depend on the hospital?
This is not a homeless shelter.
What?
This hospital is not a charity.
Ahh...he really is some doctor,
Naoe-sensei.
He said he wants to do an operation.
Right now,
he's gone to talk to the Chairman.
After that, I'll probably feel a lot better.
Is that right?
That's good.
I must get well soon, then repair my shop.
Because of me, my wife has suffered a lot.
'Still matter'...
He probably won't last 2 months.
Yes
So,
Why do anything else?
Shouldn't we try the operation?
Operation?
When he transferred here,
we performed an operation but it was useless.
Do you think another one will change his condition?
No, he won't change.
Then why?
There's a risk the cancer will spread if we operate.
What if his condition gets worse?
If he dies during the operation, that's even worse.
I'll only make an incision.
Just slice down his left side.
I won't even use an operation scalpel.
You want to do a fake operation?
He thinks that
if he has the operation, he'll get better.
He doesn't know it's cancer, nor does his family, right?
I told him it was a stomach ulcer.
I think he and his wife
are unable to accept the truth.
But...
If someone finds out the truth, it'll be a problem.
When he sees the incision scar,
he'll assume the operation was done.
He won't be suspicious.
If he has goals, he'll last longer.
It's temporary but,
it will not reduce his life.
The hospital records
will say he had the operation.
The insurance records also...
Then lets do it.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
What is he thinking...
He's quite confident in his ability to lie.
What, you heard that?
I'm your daughter,
I know what goes on.
But...
I hope nothing bad happens.
Here it is.
Welcome
Excuse me
Welcome
What will you have?
Cake set and milk tea.
Yes, very well.
What is it?
Umm..are the others still coming?
Others?
They said they were gathering here.
Gathering... for what?
My welcome party.
Oh
It's not here.
Oh...Then, bye..
Welcome
Umm...
I'd like to ask you about Ishikura-san.
Ishikura-san said
you're going to operate on him...
I don't talk about work outside the hospital.
But,
you're really going to do such an operation.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You were born in Hokkaido?
I heard from the others.
Does it always snow there?
I was born in Niigata
When I moved to Tokyo,
I was never happy shovelling snow.
But, my mother worked a lot so
she was very busy.
So it was my job to shovel the snow.
Is that so.
Your father isn't around?
They divorced
when I was young.
I see
So?
What?
Is there something else...?
What else...
You're still sitting here.
Umm...
Why do you go out to drink when you're on duty?
I have high hopes for this hospital.
The previous place
only considered nurses as mere assistants.
But here,
I heard the patients are respected,
and that doctors and nurses work as a team.
Though I only know a little...
A doctor who drinks on duty,
who locks patients in the bathroom,
and meets up with women.
And on top of that..
you place more importance on money
over patient care.
Is that it? Does that bother you?
It doesn't matter
whether it bothers me or not.
Then it's because of Jiro,
because he's your friend,
that's why you're letting this bother you.
That's not it!
It has nothing to do with Jiro.
It was especially difficult seeing Jiro..
Because what he did that time,
I had to quit my job.
Because he fought with the Chairman's son.
But,
I wanted to start a fresh here,
to continue being a nurse.
I really want to do my best,
to become a good nurse.
But instead,
On my first day, I encounter something so ridiculous!
Is this a problem hospital?
When the emergency patient came,
The doctor was out drinking, the patient could have died, right?
I don't know everything,
but, if we don't work hard,
I don't think we can take proper care of the patients.
You don't appreciate your work.
You don't consider the pain of others,
How they feel.
Life's all the same to you!
It shouldn't be taken lightly, right?
You're a smart guy, but I don't understand..
That the hospital would accept these kind of work ethics...
I think it's completely despicable.
If you don't like it, then resign.
If you'll regret it in the future,
you may as well leave at the start.
Don't waste your time.
The bill for my cake...
It's alright,
I'll pay for it all.
Did you wait long?
No
My Father wants to talk to you so he told me to pick you up.
Do you wanna go?
Up to you.
Woah! That's good... Why will you only drink with him!?
Thank you
Shimura,
Do you drink red wine?
Yes, I do.
I'm glad
Is this one okay?
As expected, Kobayashi-sensei
has good taste.
Of course he would know about wine, right.
Of course...
WOW....
Have you had this wine before?
That's not it.
It was made in 1977
I was born in 1977
Really?
You picked that year on purpose, doctor.
It's a coincidence
Kobayashi-sensei picked that year unconsciously.
1977 is a good wine year and it's expensive, right.
Everyone
Kobayashi-sensei has treated us to an expensive wine
Doctor
I was born in 1981
Please get that year next time.
Stop it, you're too young to drink
So this is a present for Shimura?
At least let me open the wine
and have a glass
Good evening
Everyone is having a great time?
Niroseki-san
Everyone, Niroseki-san recommended this restaurant to me.
Applaud...applaud
Thank you
Shimura, do you like this place?
Yes
I'm glad
I'll get some wine glasses okay?
Let me go
That's okay
Today, you're the star. Please sit.
Niroseki-san, please sit on this side.
As expected, she acts like it's 100% business.
Her real purpose was to see the doctor.
Too bad Naoe-sensei didn't come.
Is that true?
Your voice is too loud!
I knew it! Naoe-sensei and her...
Hey, keep it down
But isn't it better that Naoe-sensei didn't come anyway?
Even if he had came, he'd only be sitting on the other side drinking alone.
You're right...
Open the wine
Thanks for the meal
What are you going to do now?
I'm going back to the hospital
You still have to work?
Yeah
You said you had nothing to do today.
I only meant for dinner.
You're spilling wine everywhere!
Give me this, you've had too much.
Where's Niroseki-san
She said she had something to do, so she left.
She went to see Naoe-sensei?
I thought so!
Hey, hey, hey Look over there..
Kobayashi-sensei's a fast mover.
That's probably why he bought that expensive wine.
His wife will be the Chairman's daughter.
Her, her
He'll have an affair with that nurse. It's common!
It happens all the time!
Kobayashi-sensei is not that kind of person.
You've spoken to Jiro...?
Yeah
He said this is for you.
"Being your friend, I'm asking you a favor."
"Tonight, I'll wait for you."
Did you see that!?
What kind of message did she receive from him?
Is he your childhood friend?
He said he needs to leave the hospital soon to find a job.
He really said that?
His friends are a bad crowd,
But he doesn't seem that bad.
If there's anything you need,
feel free to talk to me.
Thank you very much.
"Being your friend, I'm asking you a favor. Tonight, I'll wait for you."
Excuse me
Is anyone there?
Naoe-sensei?
Naoe-sensei, is everything okay?
Doctor, Naoe-sensei
Doctor...
Stop it please!!
Before long...
I never thought I'd love anyone
Although,
I always thought that way..
Then, I met you
and from within
I started to make a silent change.
Through your eyes
You tell me the reason for your sorrow
Yet no matter how close we are
I can never understand your deepest thoughts
My Love
I call out in this dark night
My Love
I hear the call of a bird
Let me remain by your side
To watch over you when loneliness comes by
Those long and slender fingers
Every time I see your troubled shadow
I want to hold you in my arms
My Love
Walk now through the darkness
For on the other side you will see ray of light
When that time comes, you will hear
The call of a nightingale
My Love
That sound of thunder far away
Bears the message of a new spring
So take flight
Nightingale of the Midnight
