What the hell did you do!?
Shut up you asshole!
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest downtown district in East Asia.
Mayu-chan!
Welcome back!
I'm back.
Hostess bars, Host clubs, Girls bars,
and other legally judged entertainment establishments line the streets.
Anybody can relax safely.
Mayu?
Kabukicho, where people of every language and ethnicity gathers.
I'm gonna kill you, you freakin' bitch!
Hey, help! Call the police!
Yeah! Yeah!
1-1-9
Oh, I called the emergency number.
Are... are you alright?
Die!
It's too hot, oh god!
Get it off me! Get it off me!
Get it off!
Yeah.
Hot! Hot!
His passport and insurance were all forged.
It figures.
I know why he was attacking.
I was a naughty girl.
My roommate Anna and her husband.
They met in the warzone and got married.
Eh?
Naughty....
Don't tell me....
Eh? A love triangle?
Eh? With Ryan?
You did it with Private Ryan!?
I thought he was killed in action last year in a war zone.
Don't make fun of the movie.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
She got addicted to drugs from the distress.
I told her I couldn't bear to see her like that.
Flushed down the toilet.
It wasn't enough,
so I destroyed everything.
Hey, what the hell are you doing?!
Bitch! Who are you!?
Oh shit! Put the fire out!
The car is on fire!
Get out, get out!
The pusher lost 500 million dollars
So he hired an assassin.
That assassin!
Scale of naughtiness....
Tarantino.
If she wanted to flee the country because his life was in danger,
I told her to go to Japan
and visit BUG, a jazz cafe in Shinjuku,
You took a detour, didn't you?
You like to drink, don't you?
I wonder where's the resemblance...
All will be revealed towards the end
So...
how's it going?
It's been 42 years, right?
Shinjuku.
You haven't changed at all, doctor.
Thank you for your help, poli-ko (policeman).
Oh.
Hey, "Poli-ko" isn't Okayama dialect, is it?
Nan-nan? (What is it?)
What's "nan-nan" this time?
Yoko, you're too strong in every episode.
That's right.
"Nan-nan"?
Army, pusher, assassin...
not sure I want so much from an American.
Thank you
VERY much.
Stop it! I don't want your mess!
The only Japanese who can mix English and Okayama dialect is Fujii Kaze.
Fujii Kaze is a famous Japanese musician
No more, right?
That's it, right?
Oh.
Mum?
Eh?
Glad you are safe.
Yoko!
"Mum"? Wait, that person is your mom?
In this corner of Kabukicho is "Saint Magokoro Hospital"
Also known as...
No freaking WAYYYYY!
Shinjuku Field Hospital
You should have told us earlier she was your mum.
Her face looked so different.
Huh?
I don't get this.
I don't get this young lady.
Oh, she might have been drunk...
Let's talk about the rest in the hotel.
I promise I won't do anything.
No, no, no...
I figured if I wanted more customers, I'd have to learn pillow talk.
He says "Makura" which means "Pillow" but also means sexual activity.
Makura?
Uhm, Makura means when you....
Stop it! It's fine, don't need to translate!
I prefer the real thing, though.
I heard that Yoko is taking great care things here.
What's wrong?
That face looks like a gangster.
Trying to intimidate?
I'm Shiraki, in charge of accounting.
The treasurer since my Dad's time.
And that's my daughter Hazuki.
I'm the social worker for this hospital.
Social worker?
Didn't you have a little brother with a big attitude?
- Yeah. - Oh, you know him well?
I told you.
We've known each other for a long time.
We used to meet at a jazz cafe and she would sing for me sometimes.
That was over 40 years ago, right?
Don't tell them how old I am!
- Hahaha. - They'll find out!
Yoko!
Hey hey, when's your next day off?
I'm on duty Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
So any other night would work.
Then let's have some sushi then, hmm?
Uh huh.
Love you Mum!
Love you Yoko.
Farewell everyone!
An unusual woman, in an unusual mood, leaves her unusual daughter behind.
What's that Shiroki-ya?
I have a good nose for these things, after working in Kabukicho for 40 years.
My peculiar clairvoyance senses that this a woman who brings misfortune.
She just came to check on her daughter, right?
This is Shiroki-ya,
uh no... Shiraki. This is Magokoro.
I'm totally fine with it.
Don't do it, Tajima-sensei.
How long is your mother staying?
You can't handle her.
She's broken off with many boyfriends.
Ritsuko have you eaten?
Meat~♥
Ma'am, it's Inui-san from the Child Guidance Center,
regarding Mayu-chan.
Uhm... where's Mayu?
I thought it'd be hard to talk if she was here.
Do you mean
you want to bring her home?
Don't worry.
Our staff will take care of her.
- You're so scared. - Hey, couldn't you have put on something better?
This is my only good outfit.
You're kidding.
Hey Cassmin.
We're going to the cafe.
Not today. Thanks.
- Okay, bye! - Bye bye.
No Champagne tower!
Definitely NO!
Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic. Let's take a checki.
- Let's go! - "Checki"?
Don't worry.
Let's go.
I never thought of my child as cute...
not even once.
It was an unwanted pregnancy.
So...
a shotgun wedding?
Compensation dating.
This generation is in Shibuya.
The "egg" type...
Don't you know?
A woman like me,
can't do anything in society,
so why have a baby...
Then,
the real father is...?
Now that you know... right...?
Ah, cases like this are not uncommon.
Parents are the "compensation dating" generation, and their children are the "sugar daddy" generation.
We're really not suited for parenting.
The woman from social services would get mad at me, so I did it.
Isn't it because she's cute?
You can't do it if you're not cute.
I could afford to go out drinking and travel without my kids.
and travel without my kid.
When did you start dating your current partner?
Four years ago,
he was a customer at the snack bar.
We've been living together for two years.
By then that girl,
became a girl who never smiles.
"Moe-moe, kyun!"
Did Yoko-san say it too?
I did!
Let's make it tasty! Ready, set, go!
On an ordinary day... Cheers!.
Auntie, you're doing it all wrong!
At first, I thought he was sleepwalking.
He was fumbling around in Mayu's room.
But it wasn't.
I was pissed off.
I thought, "So you prefer younger girls?
You were pissed off?
She's your daughter, right?
You should have stopped it!
Yes, yes. I know, I know.
You didn't warn him?
I did, many times.
But he would just beat me up.
He said, "Whether I do it with you or with my daughter is my business".
Did he really say that?
That's what he said.
Even "It's no use talking to the police".
Civil affairs wouldn't intervene?
That was in the old days.
Nowadays, there's a law against domestic violence,
and it's a criminal case.
Is that so?
I don't know.
I don't have any relatives I can leave her with,
so to be honest,
it would be easier and more peaceful if she ran away from home.
Have you thought about leaving him?
Unless you break up, things won't change.
What will be left for a woman like me when I leave him?
Even that guy has a tender side.
Hey, can you stop saying "a woman like me"?
Hmm? Modesty? Self-deprecating?
Either way, it's annoying!
The other time when I said "those kids",
her daughter got upset with me.
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.
I've reflected on it.
"A woman like me can give birth to such a child"...
Adults should not be obsessed with such ideas.
I think you should really try to break off with him.
For your daughter,
and yourself.
How do you eat this?
Firstly,
you eat the soup.
Ouch!
Wow, tastes more pork that I imagined.
Then, you scoop out the noodles from the bottom
and put them on top of the vegetables.
Here it comes~ The noodle flip!
Yo!
What do you mean "yo"?
Oh~...
Yummy!
Delicious?
Yummy!
The man stands up...
Good night.
Oh, maybe you shouldn't go home yet, Tajima-sensei.
From a brothel in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, where the standoff continues...
Oh no.
It's just round the corner, the ramen shop.
People around here heard about the commotion...
These flashy guys don't come to our place.
Right, at the most we get people with earphones up their nose.
Which you couldn't take out.
And a guy who put his private part in a bottle
You couldn't get that out either.
Wow~!
It was really stuck that time, wasn't it?
Hahahaha!
Just call this the "Can't get it out" department.
Ooh, good idea!
Surgery, Internal medicine, "Can't get it out" departments.
So vulgar!
It looks like SIT has just entered.
There has been movement in the field.
Yes, this is Magokoro.
Barricaded!?
E-e-eh?
W-w-w-what was that?
I can't hear you.
What did you say got stuck?
As I was saying,
during intercourse in the passenger seat of a car...
The woman had a cramp and got stuck.
Car sex. Car sex, right?
You're kidding right?
If it was car sex, just say car sex from the beginning.
Reject it!
There's so many people here.
Hmm? In front?
There's an incident!
Incident?
What happened?
Nothing, just move along!
Hey wait!
She's a doctor.
Really?
Yeah.
Dyspnea.
Cold sweat.
JVD (Jugular Vein distension)
In that case,
this man must have a hear condition and taking ED medication, right?
ED=Erectile dysfunction
If you're in pain, don't talk.
You took it, didn't you?
Don't talk.
Did you drink alcohol?
Tajima-sensei, this is one of your patients!
What?
It's Numata-san. He has a prescription for ED drugs.
Do you know he has a heart condition?
I wouldn't have prescribed it if I knew.
What the heck is he doing~?
No tertiary facilities available?
Then... ahhh...
Then, please transport him here.
This hospital is cursed.
I searched for "penis seizure"
and it came up as an urban legend.
This is an urban legendary hospital, so it can't be helped.
Yes, this is Magokoro.
Yes, we saw the news.
What?
One of the janitors collapsed!
1-2-3!
I'm fine. Uhm, just leave me alone.
If I leave you and you get a myocardial infarction, you'll die.
What?
Ah.
It came out!
Let's go to the ambulance.
We're going to the hospital.
How? It came out, right?
Goro-chin.
We're at the hospital.
Penis seizure. Is this the Penis seizure?
Oh, it came out huh?
Can you examine him first? It might be his heart.
NO! This one is the heart.
She seems to have blacked out after chest and shoulder pain.
You guys, get the vital signs and get an ECG.
If he gets a heart attack, move them straight away.
Move on 1-2-3!
Lady, get the defibrillator.
Yeah.
So cool!
Stretcher's going out.
Numata-san, this is Tajima. Can you hear me?
Are you his wife?
Ah...
Yes.
Please wait while I call for you.
Komiyama Sachio-san, 76, history of myocardial infarction.
She had a hematemesis just a few minutes ago.
That's different from myocardial infarction.
How much blood did she cough up?
About a cup of fresh blood.
Prepare a CT scan, and get the ultrasound ready.
Yeah.
BP 207 over 109, pulse 126, SpO2 94%.
What is it?
My wife...
Call her...
You want me to call your wife? Call the wife!
If my wife finds out...
she'll kill me.
I'm here. I won't let you die!
The Echo is ready.
Stanford A, AAD (Acute aortic dissection)
It's an A dissection.
Blood pressure is down to 80.
It's pericardial tamponade.
When blood piles up
in the space between the pericardial sac and the membrane
that surrounds the heart,
the heart is compressed, and it can no longer function as a pump,
resulting in a drop in blood pressure
and death.
We have to transfer her to a hospital immediately.
Try hospitals with cardio vascular surgeons!
She'll only hold for another hour! Shiroki-ya!
Shiroki-ya within the hour!
Translate properly!
It's late. Why don't you sleep?
Can't I watch?
Not that you can't.
Her face is different from usual.
Both Yoko-san and Toru-sensei.
Horii-san, please prepare the A-line.
Yeah!
That's because their lives are entrusted to them.
Are you having trouble breathing?
Oh.
Ah.
I'm Numata's...
His wife is on her way here now.
You called her?
Ah, uhm...
I'm Numata.
My husband?
Blood pressure's down to 50!
Pericardiocentesis, tracheal intubation.
Not that one,
over here.
And you are?
Ah, his secretary.
Secretary?
Why?
He said he was going to Osaka on a business trip today...
- Secretary? - Secretary.
Why's he in Shinjuku?
How did you hear about it?
(mumbling)
Eh?
- Secretary? - Secretary.
It's not good.
The blood's clotted, only a little's coming out.
Blood pressure 40.
Switch to pericardial fenestration!
Yeah.
Scalpel.
Tertiary facility secured.
Shinjuku West Emergency Center.
Got it.
Got it!
A penis seizure case?
Father!
It got stuck, didn't it?
That's amazing.
I've been a doctor for 50 years and I've never seen anything like this...
Where, where?
Over here?
Tube is in.
Are you okay?
Eh?
Ah.
Yes indeed.
I'm fine.
I don't have time to be scared.
Blood pressure is back up to 80.
Okay.
Let's move her out.
Do the fixation.
Ma'am, the doctor will explain. Please come in.
Oh, I'm...
This is the wife.
What?
Wait, you...
You confirmed it earlier, didn't you?
"Are you the wife?"
"Yes."
Why did you lie?
Shiraki doesn't understand!
Out of the way!
Director, please take care of the rest.
Thank you!
Thank you Toru, waaaa!
We managed to get the pericardial sac window open in time.
Lady!
Yoshino, whee!
Shiroki-ya!
Yokoyama! Whoo!
What's this?
Heart failure worsening.
Enough with the ED meds okay?
- Tajima! Whoo! - Oh..!
Mayu!
I had nothing to do with it!
Numa-chan! Whoo!
The adults have talked it over
and Mayu will be attending high school
from the orphanage for the time being.
Okay, then. Here it is.
Hazuki-san,
I'd like you to tell Yoko-san something.
What?
It's okay, after all.
She'll laugh at me.
But then again...
there's such a thing as the "power of words".
That's right.
If you say it, it can come true.
I wanna be a doctor,
but that's impossible.
But I'd like to work in a hospital,
like a nurse?
It's not impossible.
I'll be waiting for you.
Good luck!
Thank you.
Bye.
Hello.
Shall we go?
Okamoto-san.
So.
Isn't that a strange way to start a sentence with "So"?
Did you tell?
Tell who?
Tell what?
Oh, to Toru, about that?
I haven't told him yet.
When?
When....
That's up to me. I have my own timing.
Well, I can choose not to tell him.
What?
So?
No matter how you put it, words will always come short.
Then why don't you tell him yourself?
You work at an SM club, and you're booked for the next 3 years.
Doesn't matter.
He thinks you're already dating.
What?
Give me a break. Why would I go out with that pompous ass?
"Pomp"...
Flirty, pompous. You know I mean.
What is that?
If you have something to say, say it clearly.
I'm not going to tell him yet.
It's the power of words.
I'm taking a break today.
So what about it?
Two tickets for Cinema 109.
Cinema 109?
The new Marvel movie.
Well... in that case,
I'd rather go to the Musashino Theatre.
They're showing "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", 4K remastered....
7:00 p.m. showing.
After that, JoJo Garden on the 7th floor. Here.
What's this?
Out of my way!
Hmm?
That humming.
"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"
What, me humming?
Hey, it's on in 4K.
Wanna go see? I just got tickets...
I'm on duty today.
Whoa!
What time does it start?
It's at 7:00.
Let's go after work.
It's fine Yokoyama-san.
Why not?
At the end, Takeshi looked at the camera and said...
"Merry Christmas!"
...right?
No.
I don't want people who spoil things like that to watch it.
Yoko-sensei.
What movies do you like?
The one where Bruce Willis played a dead guy.
Sixth Sense?
Wow, that's messy.
Merry Christmas.
Where's my brother?
He went out with Hazuki-san.
They went to see my mother.
Mother?
Your mother?
Who is she?
Ritsuko Nishi Freeman.
Sorry.
First of all,
I owe you an apology.
What is it?
That girl's not looking for a sugar daddy.
She doesn't look too good.
I'm really worried.
Aww man, Chinese.
What's "sugar daddy" in Chinese?
I don't know. My Japanese isn't even that good.
I'm sick.
Are you alright?
You're all sweaty. What's wrong?
My brother texted me today. He said he'll tell everything.
Shiraki-san, how long have you been working here?
40 years.
What?
42 years.
It's important not to read too much into it.
That was after my brother married Mizuki.
He looked like a cheerful family man, didn't he?
That's right.
What are you doing here?
Sorry, there's an emergency.
Eh?
She's probably in her late teens.
She has severe abdominal pain and nausea.
Gastroenteritis, maybe.
Anyway, let's check her out.
- Yes. - It's going to be okay.
It was hard for us to have children.
There was no such thing as equal rights for men and women back then.
Especially...
in the medical world...
It's no different now.
And we've had problems
with women being unfairly discriminated against
and dropped from medical school entrance exams.
Yeah.
Well...
well... i-in other words...
You wanted a boy, right?
That's okay. You don't have to open up about that now.
It was
right around that time.
That's when I met Ritsuko-san.
I had
just moved out
from Okayama to become a singer.
Was his wife aware of it?
You can guess, can't you?
I'm not blind.
Yes.
You do not have poor eyesight.
No, not you Keizo-san, but the wife.
Shiraki-san,
if she found out, it would be the end, wouldn't it?
Did you snitch on her?
Who do you think I am?
Me?
That's right, no way your lips are sealed.
Mizuki-san's face was that of pure shock.
Ah, w-wait..
Do you really need me to hear this?
What are you talking about?
Well, but... I have plans today.
Ah!
Hmm?
Damn it! That dog of the state!
Did you eat anything bad?
I know it's tough,
but if you don't tell me your symptoms, I can't examine or treat you.
I'm sorry... shhhh..!
What is it?
Ahh!
She has two hearts.
What??
Give me.
Eh?
Listen a minute. Seriously, seriously...
What are you saying?
She's just pregnant,
it's the baby's heart that's beating.
It's labor pains.
Ehhh!?
When your mother was pregnant with you,
she was so happy from the bottom of her heart,
she went to Hanazono Shrine every day to pray for a safe delivery.
But...
my father was...
calm and composed.
First, find out the sex of the baby.
That's a terrible story, isn't it?
To my father, he only cared for an heir before any grandchild.
Sure enough, the sex of the baby...
Female.
It was Hazuki-san, right?
So when I found out I was pregnant,
I didn't tell him right away.
Even if my brother didn't notice, my eyes were not blind.
You snitched again! Such a talkative second son!
The pregnancy was the result of adultery.
There was an option not to have the baby,
but now that his wife's child was a girl,
the Takamine family still needed an heir.
What's with this Taiga-drama-like development?
I was deeply disillusioned!
What happened to sincerity? Huh!?
The word for "sincerity" is "Magokoro", which is the name of the hospital
It was just for the sake of the family and the hospital, wasn't it?
You're the one who snitched, though.
My father summoned my brother and told him,
"If it's a boy, I'll recognize him and take him home."
I of course,
relayed my father's words
to Ritsuko exactly.
I absolutely hated it.
I didn't want my child to be taken away from me,
so I left for America by myself.
I'm sorry, Ri-chan.
Oh, no, I can see the head!
You can see...
We have to take her to the obstetrician.
What's Shiroki-ya doing?
No.
We won't make it in time.
Don't panic.
Calm down.
Horii-san is a certified midwife.
Prepare forceps and scissors, and a towel and basket
right now.
Here!?
- Basket, towels, towels... - Towel, towel, basket...
- Towel, basket, - Towel ,basket!
Come on, miss,
relax your body.
Let's work together.
Right, breathe in.
Hey, hey.
You guys are friends with that girl, right?
Cassmin, we're super close.
So, uhm... can you tell me her real name, age, anything you know about her?
Right...
She likes Hi-Chew green apple and strawberry milk.
She likes Hi-Chew.
She hates red rice.
Hates red rice.
Her idol is an underground idol with mental health issues.
Mental health idol... all these are useless!
All these don't matter, I didn't ask for these!
It doesn't matter!
I'm sick~!
What, what happened?
This!
Aaaah!
Horii-san...
is seriously taking it out!
In August,
you were born, Hazuki.
In December of that year,
I was rushed to an emergency room in New Orleans.
I gave birth...
Stop it.
Baby's about to come out, you can do it!
Right, breathe!
Oh, my God, is this the climax?
It's always been a climax.
Breathe, breathe.
You can do it!
One more push!
Push some more!
Breathe!
Hang in there!
You can meet your baby soon!
Breathe!
It was a girl.
My....
little Yoko.
You did a great job.
Look, it's a girl.
Congratulations.
I want to see, I want to see, I want to see...
I'm sorry.
I wanted to escape from the responsibility and pressure of being the eldest son.
I sought
your help...
I hurt you and then
abandoned you...
You
and your little one...
Forgive me.
Please.
Dr. Freeman
loved his fair-skinned daughter
as if she were his own.
Yoko admired him and wanted to be a doctor.
She didn't know
that her real father
was also a doctor.
So that's why.
That explains why...
I thought she was difficult to accept, in the beginning.
But I had a hunch.
You knew, right?
Same last name,
Okayama dialect.
You hired her because you knew, right?
She doesn't even have a license!
Hey, Hazuki...
I knew you were unfaithful
and I saw you and Mom fighting about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if you had an illegitimate child...
A doctor...
Of all people,
she became a doctor?
Yeah, that surprised me too.
Are you letting her take over?
Yoko-san,
the hospital.
Go ahead!
I don't care.
But think about what I'm going through...
You should at least think about how you feel
about me working at that hospital!
Excuse me.
Are you okay?
It's not good.
But...
that girl's...
been in pain for a long time.
The girl's name is Kasumi,
16 years old.
She came to Kabukicho
about a month ago.
Do you have any idea where's your partner?
If he's a sugar daddy, would he want to know?
I didn't do that.
Not once since high school.
Tsk.
He's my boyfriend.
I don't know if he thinks so, but...
He's a senior in my hometown.
I love him,
I was afraid he'd leave me,
so I couldn't tell him, and time passed.
You were going to have the baby alone.
I looked it up on the Internet...
Worst-case, I would give birth in a toilet,
and leave the baby in a baby hatch or something.
There are no baby hatches in Tokyo.
I see.
There is one in Kumamoto and Hokkaido.
You should have checked properly.
But...
when I saw the baby's face...
I selfishly thought that
I don't want to leave her.
I thought.
I want to support.
It's a big deal to become a parent.
Are you ready for it?
Yes.
It's important
to rely on those around you when times are tough.
Don't take everything on by yourself.
You went through a LOT of pain giving birth to her.
You're the only mother she has.
I don't think so.
What are you thinking?
Are you stupid?
Selfishly got pregnant, selfishly gave birth, almost gave it away, but kept it because it's cute?
Are you stupid? You lack imagination!
Please stop that.
What's the matter Hazuki-san?
A stupid girl like you can't be a mother.
You're not qualified.
She'll just hook up with another guy and abandon her child.
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The most popular entertainment district in East Asia, where anyone can play safely.
An unwanted child born into this world will always suffer.
Always suffering.
Always in pain.
Don't forget that.
