This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest downtown district in East Asia.
Ugh, it stinks!
It stinks of urine.
Ma'am, your luggage.
Ma'am.
Hostess bars, Host clubs, Girls bars,
and other legally judged entertainment establishments line the streets.
Anybody can relax safely.
I'm sorry, I...
"I don't know you well enough, Takamine-san."
... is what I think she'll say.
Heh, no.
That's what you would say, right Akane?
I'm going to confess to Mai-chan, so you should answer me with your true feelings.
Please don't practice on me! That's so rude.
Alright, I get it.
I get it!
Then shall I give you counseling?
On what?
The doll's life, or rather, its face.
Dr. Takamine's~ Free counseling in 5 minutes!
That's okay.
Of course it's not okay.
What do you mean it's not okay?
Sorry.
I'm sorry. I think it's a very original face with a lot of charm.
It's like one step short of cute.
It's more like a collection of cuteness.
Your cuteness....
It's like an accident.
Ah... My vocabulary!
I don't have the skills to sweet talk a client that way!
I told you, stop practice on me!
Hey, sorry.
I refilled the sweets.
Right.
What is it?
Uhm...
- Mai-chan. - Ah!
I'm sorry, I...
I don't know you well enough, Takamine-san.
Right, please take off your pants.
What?
You're smiling even though you were rejected.
No, it's just that since then, she's clearly started to see me
as an object of romantic interest...
Well?
It's congested.
I've been getting good night and good morning LINE messages from her.
It's like we're practically going out.
Hands off.
I need to see it.
Uhm...
If it's possible, could I get a male doctor instead?
Lady.
Oh, no! I'm sorry! That wasn't very nice.
No no no no no!
Ouch!
Why is it in there?
I was filming a YouTube video
You know how you put a boiled egg on a warmed milk bottle and it goes in?
And then...
Oh......
And you tried it yourself?
What are you doing, you idiot?
Emergency!
Fight between foreigners in Golden Gai.
One suspected to have facial bone fracture.
Scary!
His nose is deformed and messed up.
His ear is torn off and covered with blood.
Awful!
Also, some teeth are broken.
Eww...
Oh.
It shrank.
I'm sorry, but all the hospitals refused to take him.
Take him down.
Kabukicho, where people of every language and ethnicity gathers.
In this corner "Saint Magokoro Hospital"
also known as...
Shinjuku Field Hospital
What is it?
I'm just saying, I need a vacation.
I know you want some time off.
What are you doing on your vacation?
Resting, taking a break.
Shiraki is doing nothing.
What a waste.
You think so?
Of course.
A resting Shiraki-chan has no appeal.
You don't read, don't do housework.
Your relationship with your husband is on the rocks.
At best, you'll fall asleep watching Korean dramas.
Aah.
If you're going to be like this, you might as well just go to work.
I guess so....
Suspected orbital floor fracture!!
W-w-what's that!?
Guten tag
Grüß Gott
Definitely needs an operation.
It's not something we can handle!
Salaam
Salaam.
He's Azerbaijanian.
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about Azerbaijan at all. I never studied enough!
Passport?
Only a cellphone.
Insurance card?
Cash?
Cards?
He's got nothing!
Shut up!
SPO2 levels dropping.
Traumatic pneumothorax of the right chest.
The lung has shrunk to a dangerous level!
Can't you take him to tertiary emergency facility? We can't do it here!
Prepare for chest drainage!
Yeah!
"Yeah"?
You're gonna do it?!
It's fine.
No, it's not.
Even if we treated him, we wouldn't get paid a cent.
Shiraki-san, money money money money.
Shiraki is in charge of accounting.
Ah.
Oh.
By any chance...
You
Mr. Azerbaijan boy
punch? Ha ha!
It might be broken.
Oh...
Here's my passport and proof of insurance.
On the one hand, a seriously injured patient without a passport or insurance card.
On the other hand, a slightly injured inbound patient with insurance.
The theory is to promptly send the former to a tertiary facility
and receive treatment fees from the latter, right?
And yet...
There's no time for this!
Can't you see Inoki!
If not treated, our patient's pneumothorax will develop
and he will go into cardiac arrest.
Let others take care of a precious broken bone.
You mother!
"Inoki"
Yoko mistakenly calls Shiraki "Inoki" (猪木) where the first character means "wild boar"
Shiraki never thought this kind of misstatement was possible until....
that American....
But...
Inoki is Inoki...
In the end,
the American with a suspected broken bone was taken to tertiary facility.
Thank you so much!
Unbelievable.
Medical system insurance system in Japan, cares for all lives.
Super equality.
No, it's not!
I want to take it whenever we can get it!
It's not about money,
it's about the degree of injury.
Seriously injured patients should be sent to a tertiary facility!
Those hospitals refused, so she saw treated him, didn't she?
Hehhh...
I wonder if she can differentiate between serious and minor injuries.
I wonder if Yoko-sensei saw internal organs popped out, she'll treat it like a minor injury...
That's a military doctor for you.
Ever since Yoko Nishi Freeman came,
I've been working and working, Shiraki's life is not getting any easier.
So at least...
give me a break!
Shiraki's tearful plea has paid off and a shift system has been introduced.
Reforming the way they worked.
No doctor's visits on Sundays.
Emergency services only on Mondays.
Emergencies on Monday only.
The dream of a 2-day weekend.
The one who took notice of that Monday was Keizo-san, the Director's younger brother.
Eh.
Toru-chan,
let's take down this dirty oil painting and put up a poster.
Good idea, Dad.
He remodeled his office and opened a Monday-only beauty clinic.
Monday!
To add more weight to his profile, he even got his son to get experience at host clubs.
He also spent a fortune on advertising.
Thank you for waiting.
I'm Takamine Toru.
Beauty influencer
Iona Imeda
Eh....
Hyaluronic acid and liposuction?
Yeah.
Toru-kun, this is bad!
We're inundated with reservations!
Bullshit!
Oh! Word of mouth is increasing. Why? I'm scared!
Huh?!
I knew it.
It looks like a beauty influencer posted it on Instagram!
I want to see.
Look!!
Iona... That's ridiculous!
Magokoro's Hyaluronic acid injections are
super cheap.
Super?
Don't know her.
Ah~ The others are too expensive.
What are you going to do? Raise our prices too?
No, we'll keep it the same. In exchange, please stock up as much as you can!
Aiyo!
Thank you very much for coming today.
Those who want to look good, please line up in these two rows.
This line is Botox, this line is Hyaluronic acid,
please make sure you get the right one.
Please move to the front as much as possible.
You're already looking good.
Oh?
It's not what you think.
I didn't say anything.
These smile lines...
I have a marriage activity barbecue next week!
I'm aiming for the surgeon.
Please don't tell my father.
We get good reviews from those who have marriage activities.
Monday Beauty Clinic.
I"m leaving first.
Oh!
Did I wake you?
You're late.
I'm sorry.
Scary.
Aren't you going to ask me where I've been and with whom?
That's not a doctor's job.
I didn't overdose.
Of course not.
Drugs are the worst.
My roommate...
Stress overload, after retirement.
Addicted, and dated a pusher.
Hey, Anna, wake up.
Come on.
Come on, Anna.
I was freaking mad.
MDMA.
Cocaine.
Dried hemp.
I flushed them all down the toilet.
I got the part about pushers.
Saving a friend's life.
That's a doctor's job.
Hey, why do you sleep with your shoes on?
You'll get stinky feet.
At night,
in case something happens, you'll be slow to escape.
You were in the war.
That's amazing.
No it's not.
No one wants to get in a war.
With Yoko-san by my side, I'll be safe.
NO!
Don't be such a baby!
It's up to you to protect yourself.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Go to bed early!
Good night.
Gone.
Gone, gone, gone, my Peyoung.
Didn't you eat it yesterday?
That was yesterday's Peyoung!
This is?
A cutting edge laser medical treatment device.
W-w-what's it called?
Pico laser.
Director, my Peyoung.... Oh!
Why is the Pico Laser taking my seat?
Because it's more useful than you.
Ah... we needed the space, so it's here for now.
It removes blemishes,
tones the face,
eliminates wrinkles, and makes it look firmer and more luminous.
All in one?
It makes you 20 years younger.
Eh?
How much would it cost?
10 million yen.
We don't need that.
Don't forget the main mission of an emergency medical service. Don't you have other things to do?
Like using western-style toilets.
Get it out, it's an eyesore.
Didn't you hear me? Shiraki-san?
Want to try it later?
Are you sure?
Horii-san!!
I'll pay for it, it's an initial investment.
One treatment costs 40,000 to 50,000 yen.
It'll pay for itself in 200 treatments.
That's no way for a doctor to do it.
There it is!
Apart from surgeons, all other doctors and everyone else are looked down upon.
That kind of arrogance is what got us into this mess we're in now, isn't it?
Shortage of labor, in deep debt...
Shut up, you miser.
10 million...
Director, 10 million right here!
There's demand.
Cosmetic dermatology is more profitable.
Are you in a position to pick and choose your patients!?
Why can't you old men get along with each other?
We fight because we're old men!
Two dry curries.
Huh?
Oh.
He used to be cute, a long time ago.
His eyes were really round.
His eyes are still round.
We were 10 years apart in age, but we were close.
They called us the Magokoro Brothers of Kabukicho.
I'll ride the coffee cup 10 times!
Keizo, don't run!
At that time, only doctors had pagers.
Eh?
Sorry.
It rang without mercy when a patient's condition suddenly changed.
We're going home, Keizo.
Why?
My brother was old enough to know better, but I wasn't.
I resisted and cried until my voice was broken.
I don't want to go home! I don't want to go back! I don't want to go home!
It always rang at the "best" time.
Sports day, arts and crafts, class visits.
If it made you so upset, then he shouldn't have gone in the first place.
Tough being a doctor's kid, huh...
My brother in surgery, me in internal medicine. That wasn't dad's...
dream.
It was a realistic goal.
After my brother got accepted to med school,
he was very stubborn.
Keizo repeatedly ran away from home
and went to discos.
The Toua Dance Hall.
Next to the current Kabukicho Tower.
The original Toyoko Kids.
As for you...
Your father, Dr. Freeman, what is he like?
Don't want to talk... That's fine.
Bath flavor.
Hmm?
This is Bath flavor.
Eh? Bath flavor?
What is this person saying?
Heh.
Mum didn't like doing household chores she only made this.
"Mum's home cooking" is "Ofukuro no aji", Fukuro also means "bag" in Japanese Earlier Yoko was saying "Ofuro no aji", which means Bath flavor
Mum's home cooking?
Yeah! Bag rice.
Bag rice?
That's how Mum called it.
Dad ate Bug rice, after his night shift.
I ate Bug rice the day before my exams.
Do you have a photo?
Dad's photo?
My Dad, deceased.
When I was 20.
Cancer.
Mum swore that she would never marry a doctor and came to the states.
But she still laughed because she married one after all.
I admired my Dad, so I became a doctor.
But he died after I entered medical school.
And then?
Applying for a military doctor I knew training scholarship would be provided.
But the condition was to serve in the military.
As long as the scholarship period.
So that was the mood.
I see.
I served 13 years in the military.
You suffered hardship, didn't you?
Yummy!
However,
I'm glad you're all right.
I'm glad you're alive.
Old man, are you crying?
I'm not.
- Yummy! - Super yummy!
You're making a TON of money, huh.
We have one too.
An American doctor who speaks in Okayama dialect.
Hmm...?
It's funny huh?
"De~Re~" and
"Bokke" and
"Monge~"...
all mean "super", huh?
There's also "buchi".
Buchi delicious.
What's the difference?
Difference? It's hard to say...
"De~Re~" is like "Wow".
"Bokke" is like "WOW"
A different facial expression?
What about "monge~"?
WOW!!!
It's all the same.
Oh?
Is that so?
"Bokke", "De~Re~" and "Monge~" all mean the same.
De-re~, de~kon, te-te-de.
Hehe.
Don't understand.
It means, "Cook a big daikon".
Hahahaha.
Are you all right?
I'm fine, I'm fine. It's like a drip feed.
Hey.
This cosmetic dermatologist has charisma.
Here's his card, take it!
Another one!
You're not drip feeding the Amazuke, you're gulping it down.
It's a great time when men are getting more and more beautiful.
I wish I could hear that from our director.
There's nothing wrong with men spending money on beauty.
I know right?
Well, that's why the competition for survival is so fierce.
Hm? Eh, wait, wait!
Shall we continue this conversation at a hotel?
No, no.
You're kidding right?
Let's talk about the rest at the hotel.
No, no, no, no.
That's bad, that's bad, that's bad!
Ah.
No!
No! No!
Why do I keep saying "No" today?? Help~!!
That's a nice woman.
NO!
The kind of man you are, Takamine,
I know very well now.
But...
Hello.
Yes.
Eh?
What happened here?
Well, I'm just being considerate.
Well, well... just come in.
Thanks.
Shoplifting.
How much trouble will you get in if you overdose with stolen drugs?
I deeply apologize for this.
No, not to me.
Aren't you going to scold her?
Huh?
If you don't scold her, I'll do it... again.
Picking up trash is fine, handing out food during emergencies too.
Adults need to take the uncomfortable role of scolding.
I'm Inui, a child welfare officer.
I heard you ran away from home before and were sheltered there.
She has no place to stay.
Neither at home nor at school. That's why...
So... people who don't have a place to stay,
kick out their exes, and do whatever they want...
that's why Kabukicho turned into this, right?
You say it like that....
What do you mean?
It's a lawless zone.
Kids weren't allowed to go there in the old days.
No, that's because... it was the territory of scary adults, right?
That's why there was order...
I don't think so.
There is no need for an order created by yakuza or gangs by force!
If there were yakuza, you couldn't make 150,000 yen a night.
I'm sorry.
You weren't even scolded.
It was your first offense, right?
Then, what will you do from now on, when your parents come...
Her parents...?
Eh.
You can't.
She has to, she's a minor.
No... her parents are a bad idea.
Eh? You don't know?
She ran away, this girl.
From the domestic violence of her mother's boyfriend.
Oh... there was no record of abuse...
Of course she wouldn't say, she was too scared.
That's how it is.
That's NOT how it is.
There are children who have been sexually abused by their own parents.
Where should those kids live?
If their parents can't help them, they go to an orphanage.
There are kids who don't fit in orphanages.
You don't know that.
This town is full of bad adults who exploit those kids with sweet words.
You said "those kids" twice.
Eh?
It's enough.
It's the same everywhere.
At home,
schools and facilities too.
I thought Kabukicho was a bit different.
It won't change.
I don't know where I belong or what society is like.
What's wrong with you because you've been abused?
Because I slept with my mother's lover...
What about those kids who run away from home, overdose, and shoplift?
You feel sorry for them?
Haha.
Sort of.
Heh.
It's fine.
If you like that kind of drama, I'll play that kind of girl.
Mayu.
Hey, hey, hey.
Mayu?
How did you know?
I didn't tell Toru.
Why?
"Why?"
Why don't you tell him?
What's wrong with earning money from dirty middle-aged men and using the money to help vulnerable people?
These men feel less guilt by paying girls younger than their own daughters who are runaway girls who lie to their families, I don't feel guilty at all.
Even 150,000 yen for 120 minutes is a small price to pay.
You don't even know Tarantino or Rodriguez.
What was the name of the video store where Tarantino worked part-time?
- GEO. - Manhattan Beach Video Archive.
Huh, what's this?
Stop it!
That's just Yoshino taking out the trash.
He's destroying the evidence...
Ahh, no, no, no, no.
Oh?
What are you doing?
Horii-san said it should be on the security camera.
The Peyoung thief is here. I'm sure of it!
Definitely!
Send it.
You're working on your day off because of that?
Nah, I just happen to be here.
It sucks we're doing this on our free time.
Oh?
We met the other day, right? At the Korean restaurant.
I'm Park.
Ohohoho... You came? Park-chan.
I'm so happy.
Come in, come in.
Hyaluronic acid and Botox injections please.
My head hurts.
Hyaluronic acid and Botox injections.
OK, I'll take care of it!
Since it's your first time, I'll give you a discount.
No, no.
Huh? What is it?
Hengchuchu.
Hengchuchu?
Hmm...
Oh, a migraine?
Oh, Japanese? OK!
OK, I'll give you Loxoprofen when I'm done.
Toru, have you seen Mayu?
I'm in the middle of a procedure....
She didn't come home last night.
Have you heard from Minami-san?
No, I don't know. Get out.
Let's bring you down~.
Ow!
Ah!
What?
Get the CT ready.
Eh?
See, stop that!
What? What? Where?
- Playback! - Okay.
- Lady, first aid needed at the treatment room. - Right.
Police. Can I cool off in the lobby?
- What? Plastic surgery? - Stop!
What is it?
Who is that?
If it's not cerebral hemorrhage...
안녕하세요
He is Korean.
And handsome.
I can see that.
Did you get any treatment today?
Hyaluronic acid for nose and smile lines
Botox on the gills and temples
8 shots in total.
... he did it.
... he did it really well.
After that, I got a headache,
that's what I was saying earlier.
Base of the nose is not looking good.
It could necrotize.
Huh?
His nose is almost necrotic.
Eh...
Could it be hyaluronic acid in the blood vessels?
Vascular occlusion.
It's rare.
Worst case scenario, the blood flow stops and he goes blind.
Few hours late, his nose could have fallen off.
So dangerous, I almost injected him!!
So... what is the treatment?
Hell if I know,
I'm not a specialist.
There is a drug that dissolves hyaluronic acid.
Thank God you're here, Yoko-san!
With their prompt treatment, they managed to avert a crisis.
But...
Word of mouth is more effective in bad times than good.
Posts on social networking sites made it seem as if an accident had occurred
as a result of Magokoro's treatment.
Sales went down.
Their reputation destroyed.
Unfortunately, we can't return the goods.
It's just like a host club's tab.
Just have to pay back the 10 million.
Please rest assured.
I'm not assured.
This is Kariya-senpai, who took care of me since my disco days.
I miss those times~ BIBA.
We danced all night.
With SAM of TRF.
If the times were better, I might have done "EZ DO DANCE".
It's possible.
Kariya-san is now a well-known real estate magnate in Kabukicho.
I know who he is.
He has a big billboard.
That's right.
This place, this place,
This place, this place, this place
and this place are all Kariya-san's properties.
Kariya-san also took an interest in this hospital.
Esthetic salon and beauty parlor on the 5th floor.
Host club on the 4th floor.
Cabaret club on the 3rd floor.
Consumer finance on the 2nd floor.
Pachinko on the 1st floor.
On the top floor, you become beautiful, get popular, work, borrow, and make money, and then fall down.
It's like a champagne tower.
The basement is for sex services.
This is what happens when you embody your desires!
Eh?
Oh, uh... Where's cosmetic dermatology...?
- Look closely. - Eh?
We talked about opening my own beauty clinic...
Look closely!
BC
Beauty Clinic... 6 tsubos!
A tsubos is a traditional unit of area 3.3 square meters in size
It's smaller than it is now.
I'm sorry.
I'm not so good-natured as to let an easy-going son like you take over my precious hospital.
In exchange for transferring the mortgage, Kariya-san took over the loan from you.
The interest rate is 15%.
If you don't pay me back by the end of the year,
I'll auction off this place too.
Can I have one?
It's fine.
There's no one in the hospital.
Damn you father!!
Using your own son as an excuse...
I'm really sorry.
We're not really bothered....
right?
Hey, even if this place doesn't work out, I can find a job.
What about you, Yoko?
Oh right,
unlicensed.
Maybe I'll get a sugar daddy.
Do you even know what that means?
But I'm thinking about it.
About what?
The director said Cosmetic dermatologists are not real doctors.
But I oppose that view.
It's rewarding, and since it's uninsured medical treatment, it's profitable.
But...
there are too many things I can't do.
Well...
It's not like we can cure diseases.
That's right!
It's not a life-threatening job.
I honestly feel guilty about that.
It's fine if your smile lines disappear and lips become full,
but you will die in a car crash!
On the battlefield,
soldiers who are about to go to the front line,
who cares about beauty and makeup?
They do. They really really do.
Is that so?
Why did you think I wouldn't?
I'm sorry.
Chances of dying tomorrow,
chances of meeting your soulmate tomorrow,
are both even.
What? What's going on?
Incoming attack!
Corporal down!
Hey! What are you doing?!
RPG!
Come on!
Ugh, a little further!
Yeah, I got you.
Are you okay?
I'm going!
Doctor
Help me get him over there.
Got it.
Let's go.
Grab his leg.
Let's get over there!
Come and help us!
Ah!
Yoko,
he's been shot in the shoulder as well.
I got you.
I won't let you die.
Can you hear me?
Talk to....
He was so my type
Nose looking like Ryan Gosling.
Jawline like Ryan Reynolds.
Handsome,
"Bokke" handsome.
I was motivated, okay?
Huh?
Didn't you say that ugly and good-looking people are equal...
That's just a front.
She said it.
I then realized,
I haven't checked myself in the mirror since this morning
what if...
I had nose hairs sticking out or boogers
Mouth to mouth?
Artificial respiration?
No.
That was just a deep kiss.
He was fully conscious.
Ryan!
I'm not Ryan.
After returning from military service, the two tied the knot...
I sought to make effort to beautify myself.
It's a battlefield.
It's a fight to live or die.
And the battle to marry or not to marry.
I want to be beautiful as long as I live.
That is human nature.
Then you have to be
a good doctor.
Yes.
I'm off then.
Don't drink too much, okay?
I know... go and come back quickly.
Well then, let's start.
From the emergency entrance,
through the hallway...
Up the stairs.
Switch to the second floor.
He was at the door of Yoko-sensei's room...
He's gone.
Mayu-chan?
Mayu-chan came, so he ran away.
Oh, that's scary!
Can I borrow this? I might be able to identify him.
He was hurt, right?
Eh?
Please rewind it.
Yes.
From here.
Stop.
See?
See, his right hand is injured.
Magnifying.
There he is.
The one on the bench.
It might be broken.
That guy
was here.
Seriously!
Michael?
What's wrong?
I sent him to a tertiary facility.
That was close!
Pusher.
That guy works for Pusher.
He followed us too.
Well, that's why the competition for survival is so fierce.
Shit.
Shall we continue this conversation at a hotel?
By the way, where's the Director?
He's not here.
Oh, I see.
Who's that?
Ah!
The Peyoung thief.
Has been identified.
Thank you very much.
Don't pretend to be asleep.
If you die,
I will be VERY sad!
It's up to you. Do what you want.
This is boring,
don't be so quiet.
Don't be such a baby!
It's up to you to protect yourself.
Doctor.
Ri-chan.
This is Shinjuku Kabukicho.
The most popular entertainment district in East Asia, where anyone can play safely.
Mayu.
