This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest downtown district in East Asia.
In recent years, it has been reborn as a healthy and hygenic disctrict for younger generations.
Hostess bars, Host clubs, Girls bars, and other legally judged entertainment establishments line the streets.
Anybody can relax safely.
Kabukicho, where people of every ethnicity gathers, language....
Hey Japanese girl. Who do you think gonna win?
What?
Cheers!
Yeah！
- Oh my. - Yeah! Super Bowl!
Kabukicho, where people of every ethnicity gathers
Hey, lady! Stop filming and help me!
You're gonna run away? I thought we were gonna talk!
Hey! Is that your princess!
How can we talk like this...
- Mamoru? Mamoru! - Mamoru. Mamoru. Mamoru!
What do you think of this girl? Tajima-sensei.
- Ah, cute. - Yes, she is.
But there's five of them.
- A sixth one? - Wow!
I wonder if the order will come around.
Food, shopping, beauty salons, cell phone charges, rent, utilities...
Oh, Yokoyama-san is the daddy in charge of utilities.
Eh~!
Another sugar daddy?
Sigh, men.
Do you really want to be that popular?
Kabukicho, where people of every ethnicity gather
Languages from all over are welcome.
There are 5 major care facilities of various sizes in the vicinity.
And the emergency room operates 24/7 to ensure everyone's safety.
Oh, brother, who did this to you?
I did it to myself.
There's a lot of cases today, so I'm going to bring you to Magokoro.
Magokoro? Magokoro! Please don't let it be Magokoro!
I'd rather die than go there!
Kill me! Help me!
- Get out! - Ouch!
Yeah! Touch down USA!
Are you okay? Ma'am!
This is hers.
Ah, sorry, I need an ambulance!
There's an old lady in the trash.
Toru-kun, Toru-kun.
What's the difference between drinking girl and being a sugar daddy girl?
A drinking girl takes money from men to go drinking with them. A sugar daddy girl takes money from men to go dating or sex.
Huh?
Toru-kun, you hang out a lot with the drinking girls from Minato-ku, right?
- You never told me. - I never told you.
- You didn't tell me! - Didn't tell you.
- You didn't invite me! - I didn't invite you.
Girls love your Porsche, don't they?
Ha ha ha..!
What? How many girls came and how much did you pay?
Two came and 20,000 each.
They don't know anything about Tarantino or Scorsese, right?
How do you do it? Is there a pattern to it?
Patterns you don't use as a sugar daddy.
There's no pattern to it!
There's no such thing as a sugar daddy pattern!
Okay, okay... All right.
This is Magokoro.
Yes, 30s male, self-proclaimed freelance host.
Reject it.
Bleeding from head.
Consciousness level JCS in single digits! (Japan Coma Scale)
Reject it.
Send him over immediately.
Shiraki-san.
Let's do our best.
It's tough to run a business if we don't make money from emergencies.
Save the lives that can be saved right in front of you. That's what a surgeon...
I'm not a surgeon.
What?
No, I'm a cosmetic dermatologist. Okay?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I'm here to study anesthesiology.
Surgeon? There are no surgeons here.
The director is available.
If he hasn't had a drink yet.
No, no, no, no! No, don't call him.
Reject it.
Ah, what's that "bee po bee po"?
Saint Magokoro Hospital Medical services: Surgery, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Urology, Venereology Medical Hours: 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm Closed on Sundays Emergency services available 24 hours a day
Urgent Vacancy! Surgeon wanted More information at the interview. Please feel free to call us
We're at the hospital.
I'm sorry, but there are no surgeons available.
Other hospitals are not accepting patients.
We're not taking either.
Ah~ sorry. We can't get out now.
Ah, why is this happening?
Consciousness level JCS 20, blood pressure 92-50, pulse 110.
Temperature 35.6.
Moving in one, two, three.
Nice! I'll turn on the monitor.
I'm gonna check you.
- Oh, my God, it's in his ear. - Who did this to you?
I did it to myself.
It's stupid of you to do this to yourself.
It's a woman, right? Chiba or Saitama.
Ibaraki.
What?
What happened? Overdose?
It's just sake.
- I think she just drank too much tequila. - Acute alcohol intoxication.
- Put her in Treatment Room B. - Yes, ma'am.
What are you scared of? Blood?
I'm a cosmetic dermatologist!
I specialize in spots and smile lines!
Toru-kun, hold him down.
Come, come, come, come.
Tajima-sensei!
Tajima-sensei, can you sew it up?
No, I can't. Cutting and sewing is not my specialty.
You've never done any skin operations?
Not the skin! The face!
- Ha ha ha... - Where are you going?
I thought I should leave. Because this is a crime, right?
You're not a surgeon, yet you're trying to perform a surgery.
It's a rare case, but it's not a crime.
What the heck.
It depends on how the girl feels.
What?
Whether it's a sugar daddy girl or drinking girl.
I think that's for the girl to decide.
Even if a guy wants to be a sugar daddy,
if she says, "I'd like to have a drink with you" then it's a drinking girl.
I think it's arrogant for a man to decide.
You're thinking of that NOW?
Oh, right.
Oh my, isn't he getting worse?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Can you hear me?
Should I give him CPR?
- What should we do? What do we do? - Huh?
Go, go, go, go.
- Gaaahh! - What, what, what?
What? Who is this woman!
Let go, let go!
It's an old lady, old lady!
I'm sorry!
I brought that person in.
Oh, did you do that to him?
Oh, no, not that one, this one.
My name is Minami, representative of the NPO "Not Alone".
We're here to improve the image of Kabukicho and support foreign workers.
I'm also involved in a campaign to provide opportunities for women...
Your skin is dull.
What?
What a waste of your youth.
You could take your beauty to the next level with salicylic acid peeling.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm the Director's nephew, Takamine Toru.
I work three days a week at the Hiroo Beauty Clinic...
Is it alright?
What is?
- CPR. - Ah..!
It's alright now.
Father will take care of the rest,
so why don't you all go have some Ramen Jiro?
Director.
I haven't had a drink yet today.
Vitals?
Pulse 120, respiratory rate 10, blood pressure 70 over 50.
What?
The vitals.
They were normal this morning.
Not the Director's vitals.
We're starting the rapid infusion.
Ah, time for the hotchkiss (stapler).
What? What about.... anesthesia?
Don't need it.
But won't it leave a mark?
[mumbling]
Director, maybe a drink will make you less shaky.
Just go to Jiro's.
Order something with more pork, more fat.
Here we go.
OUCH!!
What are you doing, old man?
- Hold him down! - It hurts!
Horii-san. Horii-san!
Can I have a word?
OUCH!
안녕하세요！
你好！
Olá, olá!
Shit!
She's American.
Do you have any money?
A little.
Ohh.
In that case,
get checked out
at a proper hospital and use your money there.
She has zero cash.
No way. She must have some money.
Bring it out!
Uhm... do you mind if I watch?
Well, it's okay,
but for acute alcohol intoxication, it's basically just watching to make sure
she doesn't choke on his own vomit.
OUCH~!!
Ah~! Hey, hey, hey.
Our director is called "Dr. Red Moustache" in Kabukicho.
We're the only hospital that accepts homeless, foreigners, and minors without distinction.
- That sounds really bad, right? - Horii-san, come here for a minute!
Coming.
Yes, yes, it's okay~.
Wait, what are you doing?
Looking for identification.
If you don't have her address, you can't recover the medical expenses right?
But private information...
We're not a charity.
We have to earn when we can.
She has 121 yen in her pocket.
And Yudetaro service coupons.
Insurance card? She doesn't have one?
What are you, a street hooker?
What are you doing?
I'm taking it off.
It's not good if it's tight.
I hope she doesn't wet her pants.
Oh, stop it!
Wait, wait...
You're an outsider, you're not allowed in here.
What's this?
Listen!
Yes, yes, I'm listening.
Regardless of nationality, insurance card, or anything else,
human dignity has to be protected.
Yes, you're right. Please leave.
- Please listen to me. - I'm listening. I'm listening.
Yes, yes. Thank you very much for your hard work.
Thank you again for visiting Magokoro.
It looks like a hashtag.
#Mamoru.
Shut up, you guys.
But I protected you.
Let's get back together already!
Excuse me.
Here's the bill for payment.
Bill?
Huh.... The director finally left.
What's wrong?
Yoko Nishi Freeman.
Second generation Japanese American.
A-R-M-Y.
"Army"....
Military?
No, no, no, no...
What about that?
USMLE.
What is that?
I think I learned it in college.
What was that... USMLE?
It was so long ago, I forgot.
Is there anything else?
It says a lot of things, but they're all in English.
Eh~ USMLE.
United States Medical Licensing Examination.
What? What? What? What? What?
United States Medical Licensing Examination
I can't understand because it's too fast.
Saint Magokoro Hospital, located in a corner of Kabukicho.
Also known as...
Shinjuku Field Hospital
Shinjuku Golden Road Akarui Garden 5th Street
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hey, brother.
How's it going? Is my son doing all right?
My breakfast.
I hear it's profitable. Cosmetic dermatology.
Let's renew our business too.
My breakfast. My breakfast.
What's yours is mine, right?
Keizo-san, the second son of the Takamine family, is a real estate consultant.
I have the right to have breakfast at my parents' house.
I'm lending you money.
I'll reheat it now.
I don't want it. I feel gross.
In the real estate register,
the value of the land has gone up
while the value of the building has gone down.
We won't sell this place.
It'll be worth 3 billion if we sell it now.
- No... sale! - No!? Ha-ha-ha!
Shiraki-san, you know what I'm talking about.
You've been taking care of the accounting since your father's generation.
This place
isn't profitable, is it?
That's not true, is it?
That's not true, Hazuki-san.
I firmly hold our ground, as a Shiraki.
Shiraki Ai, accounting manager, has been with the hospital for 40 years.
Income and expenditures are up 20% from the previous month.
Wow, that's great.
It's thanks to Keizo-san.
I rented out the examination room.
For filming an adult video.
What?
Of course, on a day when the clinic is closed.
But that doesn't mean you can't use a sacred hospital...
Unforgivable!
Why didn't you tell me? Shiraki-kun.
Why didn't you inform me?
Who's the maker?
Who's the star?
Video? Online?
I think it's called So... soft-on...
Is it S-O-D?
S-seriously?
It's a series that stops time.
That's for sure. Damn!
Brother, you're standing.
I'm not.
Oh I am standing,
even though I said I wasn't.
Toru, powerpoint.
Let's make it visually understandable.
Now, if you sell this hospital
(1) Open a host club...
we can expect to make a profit of about 300 million in two years.
(2) If we clear the land and build a parking lot....
Well, it's gonna be plus or minus.
By the way, if you don't sell it and continue to operate as a hospital...
Yes, Shiraki-san. How much?
30 million.
Not bad, that's better than a parking lot.
Look closely.
That's MINUS 30 million. Red. Big deficit.
It's not money.
You can't save lives with a parking lot.
What are you talking nonsense, you old alcoholic?
The Red Beard in Kabukicho was the best up to father's generation.
Now it's cheap and lousy.
The reviews on the internet give us 1.5 stars.
Cosmetic dermatologists are not doctors, if you ask me!
Uncle, the future of medicine is business.
That's what I was taught in college.
Business has to develop, otherwise it's meaningless.
What are you trying to say?
If we open a Kabukicho Beauty Clinic with Toru as the director,
we'll be profitable in 2 years!
That's right!!
What's wrong?
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I just leaned on it, how clumsy.
Ah, uhm... that woman woke up.
Oh, the one with acute alcoholism.
Then, please ask her to leave.
Well...
She wants to call the police.
That bitch.
Hey~ What are you doing?
Minors should go home.
- You're annoying, Okamoto. Don't look at me. - Gross~
Kids who don't know Tarantino or Rodriguez.
Kaji-yan. Good morning.
Come on, go home.
Let's have breakfast together.
Wow, I love it!
You're a saint!
Alright~!
She says she was attacked while she was unconscious.
- Really? - Give me a break.
Who's this old lady?
Don't! Don't touch me.
I'm Takamine, the social worker. Please tell me about your situation.
This is Takamine, a Social Worker.
She'd like to hear what happened.
When I woke up, me jacket had been taken off.
And my pants were pulled down.
When she woke up, her jacket and pants had been taken off
Do you remember anything about when you were brought in?
Do you remember anything about when you were carried in?
- Not a thing. - Not a thing.
She drank 30 shots of tequila....
It says that you drunk 30 shots of tequila.
She was found with acute alcohol poisoning,
and found passed out by the dumpster.
And was found passed out by the dumpster with acute alcohol poisoning.
It's embarrassing, so please keep your voice down.
Sorry.
Hey, she can speak Japanese!
If the lady asks me in English, I will answer in English!
It's Okayama dialect.
Call the police!
I won't speak until the police come.
Yes, yes, yes.
Old lady. Don't you remember?
Police! Sex abuse! This man is a sex-abuser!
Okamoto, you took a video, right? Show it to her.
No! That's a second rape!
5 hours ago
I can't understand because it's too fast.
What? What are you doing?
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! Zombie. Zombie! It looks like Romero.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
It's The Exorcist! The Exorcist!!
Ha ha ha..!
That wasn't me.
No doubt it was you.
Five or six hours ago, Yoko-san.
Whatever it is, now that you've sobered up, settle the bill and go home.
Additional 4,800 yen for the late-night charge. Total 15,800 yen.
That's cheap.
You only have 121 yen on you.
If that's the case, please make sure to come back later to pay.
Fine.
I will pay you later!
- Definitely. - You're not coming back.
What!
Shiraki-san, how many months have you not received your salary?
I'm getting something more precious than money.
Haha, you forgot how precious money is.
Haha!
Aren't you listening to yourselves?
An emergency hospital without a surgeon.
Shut up!
I'm the surgeon.
The problem is that you only have old men.
Ahh...
At least there's Hazuki-chan~.
What about me?!
The Director's only daughter, Hazuki-san...
What if I hadn't given up on medical school after I failed five years of college?
What if I'd become a surgeon or at least married a surgeon?
I'm sorry I was late. But to turn this place is into a parking lot!?
She said it all.
Let's set a deadline.
If we don't find a surgeon by the end of the month,
we'll either auction this place off or turn it into a beauty clinic.
If I find a surgeon, can I go on?
By all means.
But that's absolutely impossible.
If that guy comes near you again, send me a LINE message right away.
I'll send someone from my staff.
Don't worry.
Mai-san, some flashy guy is here.
What?
Oh, thanks for yesterday.
Ah...
Here's "The Macarons".
Thank you very much.
Is this a salon?
We offer free consultations.
Runaway girls from the Toyoko vicinity,
financial troubles of prostitutes...
He's a doctor.
Then give me some sleeping pills.
Hey!
I'll see you later.
I'll be waiting for your call.
Be careful.
We are also open to foreigners.
From exchanging information for travelers and workers,
to helping the homeless, to supporting refugee applications.
We're working to reach out to those in need...
Why are you doing this?
Yes?
Oh, no, I don't mean that in a negative way.
I just think it's amazing.
Because, you know, it's not enough to just say nice things.
They betray you with impunity, overstep, renege, and run away.
I wondered if it wasn't a bit depressing.
Is this society equal for you, Takamine-san?
What?
If so, it must be futile for you, huh.
Why do you think you are the only one?
But for me, this society is not equal,
so I don't find it futile.
What does she mean?
We are supposed to be equal, right?
At least in Japan.
Poor people's lives and rich people's lives.
It's different in America, isn't it?
Insurance amounts are all over the place,
and medical costs vary from hospital to hospital.
Hmm? What do you mean?
Let's say Okamoto-kun has STD. (sexually transmitted disease)
Disgusting~!
Hypothetically, it's worse than a cold right?
Tajima-sensei, a specialist in STDs, charges 10,000 yen.
An ordinary physician, Yokoyama-sensei, charges3,000 yen.
Yeah.
I get to choose, right?.
No, you don't.
Well, it depends on the type of insurance.
Depending on the patient's income,
there are pine (upper), bamboo (middle) and plum (low) insurances.
Okamoto-kun is a plum.
As a Plum, so you can't choose.
Why can't I choose?
Plum Okamoto-kun can only choose ordinary Yokoyama-sensei.
Yeah.
What if it's not an STD, but a cold?
You wouldn't go to a hospital for a cold, right?
Medical bills are ridiculously high.
What?
See?
Everyone must have felt a little bit bad.
That's America.
That's capitalism.
Ah~ I hate it!
Thank you for the food.
Huh? What were we talking about?
That's enough. I think we went off tangent.
Oh, that NPO lady was really high level.
Right? What a waste. She's so cute.
She's got specs that put her in the top tier of Minato-ku girls.
But an NPO in Kabukicho?
That person's a guy, right?
What? What? Who?
The head nurse.
- Oh, Horii-san? - Yeah.
- Okamoto-kun, what are you talking about? - No...
I'm just confirming. But I can't ask her, can I?
- She's a woman. - He's a man.
Which is it? It's a woman. A woman.
That's rude, you guys.
I thought he's a man.
You definitely can't do that. That's the worst thing you can do now.
Gender harassment.
That's why it's hard for me to ask.
What do you think, Toru-kun?
Do you have to find out now?
I'm off to the convenience store.
Okay.
She's a woman, no matter how you look at it.
No, she looks like a guy to me.
Stop it. I'm losing confidence.
It doesn't matter right?
It doesn't matter!
Oh, come to think of it...
If the lady asked me in English, I will answer in English!
That's right, she said "lady".
So when I heard that, I was bothered.
Huh? What was her first name again?
Horii...
Horii Shinobu
Either way is possible.
Yes, yes, yes...
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, hello, it's Magokoro.
I think it's up to Horii-san's feelings.
Whether it's a man or a woman,
that's for Horii-san to decide, and it would be arrogant of us to decide.
No, no, no...
Male in his 50s.
During SM play at a love hotel, the noose unraveled, dislocating his right shoulder joint.
Reject it.
You can't park there.
You have to park your bike in a pay parking lot.
I'm just stopping by the convenience store for a minute.
You can't.
I'll be back soon, alright?
Hey! What are you doing?
Ugh..!
It's been fried out by the burner.
It's planned.
You can't do this, Kaji-yan.
Shall we go Magokoro?
Was the illegally parked foreigner in on it too?
Kaji-san. Hey.
I'm glad he got off with only a minor injury.
It's too late for anything to happen...
But it did happen.
I'm sorry.
Kaji-san, here's the information about the soup kitchen.
A savior has appeared!
Huh?
You didn't recognize these?
United States Medical Licensing....
Examination.
What? Medical license?
What, this old lady?
And she's a military doctor.
No, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Not such a dangerous person.
Hey, pay the medical fee.
15,800 yen including overtime.
What the heck.
Are you kidding me?
Is this your first time in Japan?
Yeah. I was born in New Orleans.
My mother married Dr. Freeman when I was three.
I moved to California when I was 14.
I lost my virginity when I was 19.
I got my medical license when I was 28
and worked for 13 years in an American military hospital.
You don't have to tell us when you lost your virginity.
Twice, at my sempai's house.
Your mother is from Okayama?
Okayama's my home town alright.
Okayama.
A military doctor? That American?
She specializes in surgery. What can I say...
This Shiraki is as suprised as a peach, I am.
surprised is "odoroki" and peach is "momonoki" which rhymes
As long as we have a surgeon, we can perform surgeries.
A full-fledged secondary emergency facility.
And if it's a genius female doctor....
Nobody said she was a genius.
Of course she's a genius.
There isn't a female doctor who isn't a genius.
Japanese military doctors in the US have to be really good to qualify,
and have special training.
What did my father say?
Yes, that's...
Just because she has an American qualification,
does that mean she can practice medicine in Japan?
That's...
Not possible.
No matter how good you are, you'll have to re-certify in Japan.
How long will it take?
After passing the national exam
and doing 2 years of clinical training...
We can't wait any longer!
I don't want the parking lot.
I can wait.
Come back when you're qualified.
.... what he said, and then he left.
The director went to a Jazz bar.
Well, that was short-lived.
No license, huh?
We can't get away with saying we didn't know, huh~.
Did the Director say we have to wait?
We can't wait 2 years.
Are you sure no other doctors applied?
Of course not.
There's no way a decent doctor would come to this run-down hospital.
The best ones get paid well.
Then I'll contact you when a job opening comes up,
so please leave your contact information here...
Uhm... if you'd like, please eat it while it's still warm.
There's no need to be in a hurry.
I know welfare has a negative image,
but it's a legitimate right of the people, and in other countries...
This is...
Japan.
What?
People with tattoos, or drunk, or associated with criminal groups, are strictly prohibited from entry. Please take note
Toho Bath House
Was the illegally parked foreigner in on it too?
Why is this called American Dog?
Yes, American Dog.
No, it's Corn Dog!
But, it's an American Dog!
NO!
Yum!
Yes, this is Magokoro.
Yes, 70s male.
Acute alcohol intoxication.
Reject it.
Let's take it!
You're not busy right now.
Hello?
Uhm, how should I say it...
I'm in big trouble.
He's injured.
His stomach is bleeding.
Let us come right away!
Ahh, we don't have a surgeon,
so please call an ambulance.
I can't.
Can't?
His refugee application was not approved.
If he goes to the hospital, he'll be deported.
What's wrong? What's wrong? What is it?
He drank too much.
Ah, look who it is, it's Kaji-yan.
He stinks of alcohol!
Put an IV in him and have him sleep in the treatment room.
Okay.
Hey, Kaji-yan, are you okay?
Pull yourself together.
- Toru-san! - Mai-san!
- You! - Why!
Help me carry him, hurry up!
I'm busy today. What is it?
Help me carry him.
Doctor, call a doctor!
- Doctor! Doctor! - Hurry up!
- Gunshot wound. - Gunshot wound.
He was shot with a pistol.
What?
Cut of his clothes.
Have you examined him before?
Of course not. It's my first time.
Kabukicho's scary.
It's those guys. The guys who robbed that parking lot... they're thieves. Scary.
That's not "scary". It's a shooting.
No way! I'm off-duty today.
Where's the Director?
No good, he's not answering.
Radial artery. It's weak to the touch.
Sh... should we do CPR? Is that okay?
No way!
We need to control the bleeding first!
What's the point of doing CPR for hemorrhagic shock from penetrating trauma!
It's gonna cause more bleeding!
Hey! Can you hear me?
Should I give him CPR?
Oh my, that was done on purpose.
What? What?
Permissive hypertension.
Blood pressure at this level should prevent excessive bleeding
Do some blood test and get ready for emergency transfusion!
Yeah.
And you, intubation and anesthesia!
Why does it sound like she's scolding me??
If you're not gonna do it, then I will!
What? You're gonna do it?
Bystanders out! Anybody who's helping shut up and get to work!
- Hey hey, what the hell. - It's up to the patient now.
We can't worry if we don't have a surgeon or physician in front of someone suffering like this.
Whether or not to do it is up to the patient's condition, and it's arrogant for the doctor to decide!
♪ Won't somebody please me call a doctor ♪
♪ And just stop by to die because of love's pain ♪
♪ Call your doctor telling that ♪
♪ Your medicine's help me to sleep ♪
Full infusion, 500cc's in, blood pressure is down to 60.
Fluid retention around the spleen is increasing.
He's going into shock.
Should we try every tertiary care hospital in the area?
NO, we are not moving the patient.
We can't do the surgery here!
If we catheterize him at the emergency room, his organs...
We don't have much time!
If he dies, there's nothing we can do.
This is damage control.
Just ERL stop the bleeding. (Emergency Room Laparotomy)
Damage control!
OK! Anyway, let's get him to a university hospital...
- NO! - University hospital is no good.
Oh, that's right, he's not a refugee, he's an overstayer...
He hasn't renewed his provisional visa.
If found, he will be detained at the immigration office.
And if he is deported?
They will kill him.
Coltrane is good.
This is Honda-kun from the Jazz Club.
Oh, really?
I don't get it anymore.
You're hopeless, Honda.
Director, please pick up. Please.
Ah~ Yes, that's right. Uhm, it's Magokoro.
He was shot in the stomach. Eh... Eh?
It was reported. Oh~...
"Boom!" I heard a far away boom....
Then "Waaa!" I dropped my crepe.
This is the crepe.
Can't you tell which direction it's coming from?
Ah~ That way? That direction was the "Boom".
Wasn't it a "Bang"?
Can you pick up the crepe?
Midazolam administered.
Yes.
Maintain this blood pressure.
Yes.
It can't be borderline.
- Shall I pump the IV? - Lady....
It's gonna flow the blood and make it less likely to clot!
- Sorry. - Don't stop the heart, stop the blood.
- That's damage control. - Damage control.
- Don't repeat. - Anesthesia!
Anesthesia, right? Here it is. It hasn't taken effect yet.
There is no time!
It hasn't taken effect yet.
Scalpel.
- What? - It hasn't taken effect.
- Oh, what, what... - Whoa, whoa~!
Pull the retractor, more!
Yes, yes.
Even for a military doctor, that's rough.
But I can't help but feel like she's going all out.
- That feeling? - Yeah, she's going for it, alright!
- Ah. - Eh?
What was that? Does that "Ah" mean something?
- Oh my! - Why am I...?
I specialize in removing wrinkles
and making lips look fuller...
Bingo!
What did she give me~?!
How's the other patient?
He had acute alcohol intoxication. He's resting.
Have you checked for head trauma?
A CT scan?
This isn't a haematoma, is it?
Hmm...
Acute subdural haematoma.
Oh, ah Director.
We can stop the bleeding for what we can see.
What's really scary is the kind of bleeding in places you can't see.
In other words, internal bleeding.
What should we do?
Pupillary irregularities are appearing.
Brain surgery. Let's just get him to a tertiary emergency facility.
No, but we can't just leave him until we find a place to take him...
No, I can't do it.
I can't even tell the difference between Coltrane and Honda-kun from the Jazz club.
Hahaha...
Emergency burr hole
You can?
If it's for an emergency craniostomy to remove a haematoma to delay the progression of a brain hernia.
I've seen it on "Code Blue", uh huh.
She's seen it on "Code Blue".
Let's not do that!
That'll just raise my anxiety!
I became a military doctor
to save as many lives as possible.
Do you have a drill, old man?
Ah~ I think I have my father's...
Prepare the anesthesia.
What~?
S-Seriously?
I'm sorry the Director can't do it.
Is he sure she can do it?
Cool!
The Noguchi family...
They're what you call an underground organization.
What? You didn't know? Kaji-yan was part of it.
Hey.
He's a former member with a criminal record.
He was once a powerful figure in Kabukicho,
but he turned over a new leaf and moved from job to job for 15 years.
He's currently a janitor at a bicycle parking lot...
Oh, he was fired the other day.
He went to Hello Work,
but he told me that only low-paid foreign workers were being given jobs,
and that the elderly were being left out.
I suggested that he apply for welfare, but....
Maybe that hurt his self-esteem.
This is...
Japan.
People with tattoos, or drunk, or associated with criminal groups, are strictly prohibited from entry. Please take note
Was the illegally parked foreigner in on it too?
It was found just now.
The fingerprints match Kaji's.
I found it.
Violation of the Firearms Control Law and attempted murder...
I can't believe Kaji-san's was from the underground.
Then... eh?
The victim and the assailant are having surgery together now?
Wow, wow, it's a drill just like your father's drill.
In the old days, they used to perform perforation surgery with this too.
Yoko.
I'll be here watching, don't worry.
OK.
Yes, yes, vertically.
Slowly.
There's a place where it gets hard, so go that far.
As expected of a military doctor.
Ah.
Stop saying "ah" like that. It's making me anxious.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, wait, wait.... you can't do that.
This is a hospital.
No smoking in the entire building.
Good work.
I have a lot to say,
but I know you're not a genius surgeon.
It was really messy!
You started suturing before the anesthesia took effect.
In the warzone, this would be normal.
Why did you become a military doctor?
What?
Why did you become a military doctor?
Why did I become a military doctor?
I'm not speaking English anymore.
Because life is equal.
Is it different in America?
But in a warzone, all lives are equal.
Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can avoid missiles.
Men and women, good and bad.
Ugly and good looking, they're are equally dangerous.
What's that?
An injured Arab gave me this.
I was sent to a warzone
where I treated injured soldiers and civilians.
His name was Ali.
Hang on!
We're going to get you to a hospital.
I knew he could not live
But still...
We kept encouraging him not giving up hope.
Are you Japanese?
Japanese American, actually.
But that wasn't the time for nitpicking.
Yeah.
Will you be returning to Japan soon?
I tried to pronounce it somewhere between the English "Yeah" and the Japanese "iya" (No).
Yeah/Iya...
My brother, is in Kabukicho.
His name is Muhammad.
What? This is Kabukicho.
Ali Muhammad was in Kabukicho.
Ali got deported.
His brother who was separated since birth.
My brother has an eight year old daughter.
Please...
take this
to my niece.
Leave it to me.
I will find her
and give this to her.
To keep my promise to Ali
I survived the war and crossed the sea to come to Japan.
Please open it, Muhammad.
I ate one, though.
- What did you say? - It's nothing.
No, no, no,you can't eat it.
And that....!
Once you eat one piece, it doesn't matter how many more you eat.
Cannot stop!
I didn't read the letter, I do have some discretion.
You are Ali's brother, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
Oh my god.
I'm not his brother, nor a niece.
Ali and Muhamed are
pretty common Arab names
it's like Tanaka or Sato.
You ate the eat sweets, you got the wrong guy, it's not looking good for you.
I have no money
no insurance,
no residency status.
I was ready to die if I got sick.
Why did you save me?
Because...
I'm a doctor.
I truly appreciate it.
However,
if possible,
I would have liked cleaner stitches.
That's it.......!
Woo...! Ha ha ha..!
That's not a "woo".
Muhammad was taken into custody by immigration authorities.
Don't you feel it's futile?
Futile?
We saved him, and now he's being sent back to his country.
I know it's unfair,
but whether we save him or not,
even if he was sent to a tertiary facility,
if he's going to die either way...
That's not what doctors think.
Sooner or later, everyone dies.
That's why
I try to save every life that I can
fair and square.
My life,
your life,
poor lives, rich lives,
I will help them equally.
- It's messy... right? - Yeah.
Helping equally and messily.
That's what a doctor does.
Kaji-san's brain surgery at the university hospital was a success,
and he's under arrest pending rehabilitation and recovery.
The bicycle parking lot robbery
was committed by young black market workers recruited through SNS.
That military doctor...
I heard she's done some difficult surgeries.
You promised, right?
Right? We get to go on.
I take it you're licensed in Japan too?
Yeah/Iya?
Here we go.
See, the scars have disappeared beautifully.
That's why the stapler is number one.
Oh! Hotchkiss is number one.
Where do you live?
No! I'm not telling a man.
It's an Internet cafe, right~.
Upstairs is empty beds.
I'm against it, I'm absolutely against it, hiring unlicensed doctors.
Please don't hire that unlicensed American, it will be scandalous.
Wasn't there a special system for American doctors to get a Japanese medical license....?
There isn't. It's not like a scooter license.
I don't care either way.
I'm going to start my own beauty clinic as soon as I can.
Basically, I'm against it too,
but unfortunately, she saved two people.
Two or a hundred people, it's the same.
Ho, a rabbit hutch.
Do you know what the Japanese say in such situations?
"Sumeba Miyako Chocho"
"Sumeba miyako" is a phrase meaning "home is where you make it", and "Miyako Chocho" was a famous female comedian during the showa era. This phrase is a pun joining these two together.
What?
Good night.
Wait, what?
Good night, sweet dreams.
Nishi Yoko will be working as a surgeon at Saint Magokoro Hospital.
I'm going home after eating Jiro.
Thank you for your hard work.
My life, your life, poor lives, rich lives, I will help them equally.
Is this society equal for you, Takamine-san?
Huh?
This is Shinjuku's Kabukicho, the most popular entertainment district in East Asia.
A healthy, hygienic town for young people where anyone can play safely.
Still hungry, Police Officer? Want to go to Jiro's?
No, Jiro's crowded. Let's go to Go-Go Curry.
What? But I'm really craving for Jiro's.
I don't think we should go this way today. Let's not go to Jiro.
- Eh, Go-Go Curry? - Let's go that way...
- Not that way. - It's fine, let's go that way.
Yeah, whatever~.
Hi,
Uh huh.
I'm in Japan.
Uh huh.
Kabukicho.
I'm doing well.
"Sumeba Miyako Chocho"
