An Incurable Case of Love (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

The first trial! Doctor's gentle hug...

1
Stop following me already.
Why are youhere?
What? I live here.
What?
I live here.
Oh yeah, I heard someone
moved in next door.
Welcome home, Kairi. You're late.
Are you our neighbor?
Do you know each other?
Unfortunately.
Well, then. Good night.
Dear Cat God.
Am I not worthy?
Here you go.
I had it in the super's office.
Oh, thank you.
It's from home. Deep-fried fish patty!
Wait.
Super?
Yeah, I'm the super of this apartment.
You are?
Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself.
I'm Nanase Sakura.
Would you like to try some?
There's edamame,
corn, and burdock root inside.
Really? Wanna come over for a drink?
Come over?
Come on.
Come on in!
Their love nest.
Have a seat.
Yes.
For deep-fried fish patties
Ta-da!
"Devil."
Come on, let's drink!
Seems like you've already gotten started.
Don't be so uptight, Nanako!
It's Nanase.
You're a rookie, right?
A toast to your new job!
Actually, I'm still in training.
We spend three days in each department.
I'm going to Dr. Tendo's Cardiology.
Don't tell me.
Are you the Warrior, Nanako?
What?
You had a crush for five years.
You gave up your precious time
for Kairi the Devil.
Confessed your love on the first day.
The Warrior who was vanquished?
-You're well-informed.
-Lots of hospital people live here.
I'm sorry. I didn't know about you two.
I'll stop being brash.
What?
Why are you here?
If you're done, leave.
I will. Sorry to bother you.
Wait, Nanako.
I invited her, you Devil!
If I'm the Devil, you're the Witch, Sis.
Sis?
Call me the Booze Fairy.
Did you just say Sis?
What? Sis?!
Yup.
I'm Ryuko Tendo, Kairi's sister.
Oh, I see.
His sister!
We come from a family of doctors.
We're from Kanagawa.
My grandfather bought this building.
We rent out mainly to doctors and nurses.
That explains why rent is so reasonable.
Believe it or not, I once thought
I'd become a doctor.
But, you can't drink
if you have night shift.
I don't want to be tied down.
By work schedules or men.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Ah, that's good.
Could this mean that in the future
More deep-fried fish patties arrived.
Then let's eat them together.
Here, this is for yesterday.
Delicious!
Your spot
is next to me, right?
Yes.
Oh, it just could happen!
Why are you grinning at my room?
Nothing.
Listen up.
If you're really thinking
of coming to our department
I won't ever go easy on you.
You sound so arrogant
when you can't even drink.
If you're just going to
get in the way like a boulder,
I'll kick you out.
It's not too late.
Go somewhere else and keep your job.
I won't go.
I promise to become an asset as a nurse.
I won.
So you start here today, huh?
Welcome to Cardiology.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Well, I had a feeling
Warrior would come here.
Chasing after Dr. Tendo.
Here I am.
As a woman and a nurse, my goal is
to defeat the Devil!
That's the spirit.
They're out.
Cream buns.
Sorry, I couldn't save one for you.
But that's what the Cream Bun Fund is for.
Someone reserved them.
Oh no, did you want this, Dr. Tendo?
No.
It's yours.
And our favorite, Ms. Sakai.
Thank you for choosing us.
A huge welcome!
So many departments wanted you.
Why did you choose us?
Here at Cardiology,
we treat illnesses of the heart,
the most important body part.
I'd learn all the basics of nursing.
It's perfect for gaining experience.
Numazu's acting like a veteran.
You still treat me like a rookie.
Nah, I'm grateful.
Somehow we're always partners.
Right, I'm on Team Kisugi.
I mean I'm in charge of Dr. Kisugi.
In that sense
Ms. Sakura, you're on Team Tendo.
I'm counting on you.
Team Tendo?
You seem to have a connection with Tendo.
Please look after him
both in and out of work.
I'm not sure I'm fit for that.
What? Then I want Sakura too.
Why do I get Numazu?
Hey! Not what you said earlier!
You're fine, Dr. Kisugi.
You're always stable.
But Tendo
He's unfriendly and unsociable.
He's a skilled doctor, but
He's blunt and people fear him.
-So I want him to mature as a person.
-Excuse me.
He's ruthless.
Dr. Tendo is truly skilled,
but his personality
Warrior
But I'm just going to give
everything I have.
Or else the ruthless Devil will pummel me.
Ruthless Devil?
Dr. Tendo!
When did you get here?
From "Tendo's unfriendly and unsociable."
You see, that's exactly
what I was talking about.
Dr. Tendo, is it time for rounds?
Go on, Warrior.
Yes.
Go, Team Tendo!
Listen up! I missed breakfast
and am in a terrible mood.
Your usual cream bun?
They're so fresh and delicious.
If you're really going to work for me,
abide by these rules.
Yes!
First, be sincere to patients
and avoid making them uncomfortable.
Yes!
Think on your own about what to do.
-Yes!
-And
don't get your hopes up.
What?
There isn't even a 0,0001% chance
of anything happening between us.
I'm rejecting you from the start.
Excuse me, but Dr. Tendo.
There's no such thing as never.
Don't you think 0,0001% is a little harsh?
I'm sure even for me,
my chances are over 0,0001%
No.
Okay.
Starting today, I've officially
been stationed in Cardiology.
I'm Sakura on Team Tendo.
Team?
We've heard, Dr. Tendo.
I'm jealous you have such a young
nurse after you. You ladies' man!
Oh, but I've been dumped already.
-What? Really?
-Quit rambling and start working.
The evil eye.
Mr. Kanda, how's your shortness of breath?
Better thanks to the diuretic.
I'm going to listen to your chest.
Sorry!
Sorry about that.
Actually
I was dumped too.
You were?
The electrical appliance store?
The new sales girl in audio named Yu.
-Yu?
-I'm in a different section.
I sell washing machines and refrigerators.
What, you sell electrical appliances?
Yes.
After closing, I mustered the courage
to ask her out to dinner.
She said yes,
but I collapsed on my way home.
Haven't seen her since.
You can ask her again
after you're discharged.
-No
-Yeah! She's probably waiting.
Not sure about that.
Let me see.
Dr. Tendo, Mr. Sugamo has a fever.
Blood culture.
Yes.
We're going to draw blood
and check for bacteria.
Yes.
Check his ID.
Oh right.
-Please tell me your name.
-Manabu Sugamo. Can you hurry up?
Yes.
I'm going to disinfect.
Can you do this?
You'll feel a prick.
Way to go, Ms. Sakura.
I'm pretty good with needles.
I'd say about a 0,800 batting average.
Dimwit.
An own goal.
Is it baseball or soccer?
You pricked yourself with a needle?
I'm sorry.
I felt so relieved and then
Screwing up already?
Submit an incident report
to Infection Control right away.
Yes.
But as you can see, I'm totally fine.
It's not fine, Boulder.
Listen, I missed eating
breakfast before rounds.
I have a hectic day ahead.
And thanks to your dumb blunder,
I've wasted ten minutes.
You keep getting in my way.
I'm sorry. I'll get back to work.
That's enough.
-Sakai.
-Yes.
You assist instead.
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
Is Ms. Sakura okay?
Yes. I'm sorry for the commotion.
It's fine.
MITSUKI KANDA
GENDER: MALE, AGE: 24
AV block?
It's frequent.
Mild pleural effusion too.
He needs a pacemaker right away.
In addition to PVC, there's NSVT.
It's hard to predict.
We need to be careful.
We may not have much time.
Mr. Kanda's loss of appetite
is concerning.
Yes. It's been going on for a while.
Mr. Kanda is still young,
and he collapsed suddenly.
He probably needs more time
to sort out his feelings.
His surgery is soon.
He needs to gain more strength.
Yes.
I came up with an assessment
of Mr. Kanda's loss of appetite.
Says the A+ student.
First, anxiety over his illness
may be the reason.
We could review his medication
together with the doctors.
Cooperate with nutritionists
HIURA GENERAL HOSPITAL
Oh! It's pretty crowded.
Here you are, Mr. Kanda.
Wait just a moment.
HAWAIIAN FESTIVAL
It's a special menu today.
I got the doctor's permission.
Take your time and enjoy.
What's this about?
Don't you like the beach?
I thought this event would be like
going to a tropical island.
No. I just picked this up
at a nearby supermarket.
What?
Is that so?
I kinda feel bad.
-I'm sorry for making assumptions.
-It's fine.
Ms. Sakura!
Oh! Anri!
Take this off!
Don't do that.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Everyone's doing their best.
I've got to work hard too.
Get in trouble?
I might get kicked out of Team Tendo.
That would be unfortunate.
It's my fault.
But Dr. Tendo is a skilled doctor.
Yes. That's for sure.
You have to be grateful for
working with a doctor like him.
I'm going to fight this
and return to my job.
Then I'll come buy a rice cooker.
A rice cooker?
I brought one from home,
but it broke right away.
-I know some good ones.
-Really?
I'll pick one out for you.
Thank you!
All right.
If I can go back to work,
I'll ask Yu out for pork cutlets.
Pork cutlets?
Yeah. There's a place I love
that has tasty, crispy cutlets.
I want to go there with her.
Pork cutlets sure are good.
I'm getting hungry.
Thank you.
Yum!
Oh wow! Looks like fun.
What?
I'm thinking of giving
a patient with loss of appetite
P-CAB instead of a PPI.
Stomach meds?
So many different types?
Yeah, they cook rice differently.
Looks like he got his appetite back.
The Warrior's done well.
This is so good.
Eat up!
Croquette Bread, okay!
Excuse me.
I'm going to call security.
You come to steal something from me?
Yes. I came to steal your ruthless heart.
-Just kidding.
-Get lost.
I understand.
You're not ruthless, you're disciplined.
Sorry I caused problems
with the blood culture.
Seems like Mr. Kanda
got his appetite back.
He did!
He wants to ask Yu
He wants to ask his crush on a date,
so he's working hard.
Don't get too involved with one patient.
CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT SCHEDULE
KAIRI TENDO
Dr. Tendo?
Do you ever go on dates?
While I'm at it
You live with your sister,
so you must not have a girlfriend.
I have no obligation to tell you.
Listen to you, leaving her in suspense.
No need to worry, Sakura.
No women in his life.
Things just got complicated.
I'll nominate myself for your date.
-Overruled!
-That was quick.
Keep being heartless, and I'll take her.
What?
Oh stop.
Operation Cream Puff.
I'll pretend I like you.
That will trigger
Tendo's combative instinct.
I'm honored, Dr. Kisugi.
You have bad taste.
What do you see
in this problematic boulder?
Problematic boulder?
You really are awful.
Forget it.
The problematic boulder will leave.
Sorry to bother you.
I think she's cute.
MITSUKI KANDA
Mr. Kanda's having arrhythmia.
Frequent NSVT.
Excuse me.
-50 mg lidocaine, 10 mg magnesium.
-Yes.
Making a turn.
Dr. Tendo!
Mr. Kanda's having an emergency ablation?
I got worried.
Can I help?
Not in your current state.
I told you.
Don't get too involved with a patient.
-Sakai.
-Yes.
You be the circulating nurse.
Yes. I'll get ready.
Let's move him.
Hold firmly.
One, two, three.
Putting on ECG.
Okay, Mr. Kanda.
We'll insert a catheter
to treat your arrhythmia.
-Sedative.
-Okay.
-Check breathing.
-Yes.
No problems.
These are close.
Turning on power.
MITSUKI KANDA
How's Mr. Kanda?
The ablation was a success.
His arrhythmia has calmed down. He's fine.
Ms. Sakai, you're amazing.
You noticed the NSVT right away.
I could never do that.
I want to learn.
You want to be liked.
That's the difference.
Here. Good luck with your work.
Coffee and popcorn, please.
That's 1,000 yen.
I'll pay with this.
Do you remember me?
I wanted to thank you and see you.
Thank you.
Thanks for these.
Wait.
Here's my card
I was
going to ask you out to dinner.
But skip that.
Will you be my girl?
When you're a grown man.
Oh no, you were rejected.
She means you're not mature
and isn't interested in you.
-It does?
-Yes.
-So I don't have a chance?
-Yeah.
Forget it, Nishi.
Let's just focus on our work.
Wait, you too, Warrior?
Got totally dumped.
I think I've been
kicked off Team Tendo too.
He sure is ruthless with his decisions.
I thought you said
he's disciplined and not ruthless.
Love is blind.
How embarrassing.
I want you to remember something.
Sayoko Yuki's Romance Seminar.
Romance that consumes you never goes well.
A rest stop on the side of the road
A relaxing place where you can stop by.
That's where you'll find true love.
A rest stop?
Yes.
-True love?
-Yes.
So take her out for a drive?
Are you dumb? It's a metaphor!
Sorry.
Dear Cat God.
Not in your current state.
It's going to be a long road from here.
-What?
-What?
Dr. Kisugi!
Sakura!
Do you live upstairs?
I recently bought a condo somewhere else.
But this place is close
to the hospital, so I'm renting it.
It's cheap too.
Thanks to the Tendo family's goodwill.
Have you met that drunken sister?
Yes. She's very friendly.
Oh
That noise.
It was you.
That's a nice sound.
Oh yeah.
Did you hear about Mr. Kanda?
Huh?
Excuse me.
About Mr. Kanda
He's not the Devil when he's asleep.
He's a prince.
I don't think I can sleep next to him.
Oh no!
I'm not fantasizing or anything.
You always appear out of the blue.
What?
I heard Mr. Kanda's surgery
has been scheduled.
Yeah.
Please let me be there.
What?
I reviewed the surgery procedures.
I got permission from the head nurse.
She said it's up to you.
I won't allow it.
Why not?
You'll just get in the way.
Please, I want to learn.
I said no.
But if I don't learn on the job,
I'll be a boulder forever.
Give it back.
Please.
You'll observe the surgery?
Yes, I got permission.
My first time in the OR.
But I'll just be in charge of backup
so I don't get in the way.
Ms. Sakai will handle equipment.
This shot prevents blood clots.
Okay. That's kind of reassuring.
I'll get the stretcher.
-I'll help.
-Thank you.
We'll be right back.
Hey.
My wife's not coming today.
Can you go to the store for me?
Ms. Sakura, please take care of it.
Tissues, soap, and a cream bun.
Right away.
Could I have a cream bun, please?
Yes.
It's locked.
Shall we, Mr. Kanda?
What's wrong?
-Call the doctor!
-Yes!
Mr. Kanda. Are you okay?
Ventricular fibrillation.
Contact the clinical engineer
and prepare a PCPS.
I'm back.
Mr. Kanda was just taken
Huh?
VF. Not returning.
-Adrenaline.
-Air Dosimeter.
-Hurry, Ishihara!
-Yes!
-It's charged.
-Clear!
How long since VF?
-Again!
-Yes!
OPERATION IN PROGRESS
Is the PCPS ready?
Preparing now.
-It's charged.
-Clear!
Again!
-Yes!
-Hurry!
-Prepare the sheath.
-Yes!
-Is it ready?
-Yes!
Clear!
Keep going.
-We're going again!
-Yes! It's ready!
Clear!
Mitsuki Kanda passed away today.
Let's begin.
We will clean your body.
We're going to wipe your arms.
Thought I'd find you here.
We're powerless.
If youcouldn't save him, no one could.
It's snowing.
Minori used to say she liked winter.
Kairi, don't cry.
We
We have to keep going.
Warrior.
You have a visitor.
My name is Yu Igarashi.
So you're Yu.
I was dumped too.
From the Audio Department?
Yes.
I heard about you from Mr. Kanda.
They had his funeral.
His parents sent me this.
A WORLD'S FIRST FOR HEADPHONES!
CUSTOMERS WILL LOVE IT!
FASHIONABLE, YOU CAN HEAR THE SMALLES
SOUNDS. PERFECT FOR A WOMAN LIKE YOU.
He did it for you.
Ms. Sakura.
This is for you.
PERFECT FOR ROOKIE NURSE SAKURA!
NOT TOO EXPENSIVE, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
When I saw this,
I had to give it to you.
I'll come buy a rice cooker.
I know some good ones.
I'll pick one out for you.
Thank you!
MITSUKI KANDA
After the ablation was successful
should we have done more mapping?
Or more inductions?
We'll never know.
But
we're not the only ones
watching the patient.
MITSUKI KANDA
Mr. Kanda was supported
until the very end.
I find
some solace in that.
Nanako? What's wrong?
Nanako? Are you okay?
Nanako? Are you okay?
What?
I'll leave this here.
You handle the rest.
Looks like you haven't been eating.
Slight fever.
Pale. Your blood sugar must be low.
You should rest.
This is part of the job.
It's hard, isn't it?
I can't believe it.
Mr. Kanda is gone.
Are you feeling okay?
I'll ask Yu out for pork cutlets.
That's kind of reassuring.
He said
he wanted to go back to work.
He wanted to go eat crispy pork cutlets.
He said he'd pick out
a rice cooker for me.
But
in the end
all I could do was watch.
I was useless.
You're right.
I'm not cut out for this.
I'm going to quit.
I didn't think it was going to be so hard.
I'm quitting.
We're all the same.
It's hard
AMYLOIDOSIS
for all of us.
But we keep going.
We have to.
Eat and get some rest.
Why?
You kept telling me
that I wasn't cut out for this
and I'm in your way.
You're
on Team Tendo, right?
Sorry, my bag.
-The Devil hugged the Warrior.
-What?!
I can't.
I'll answer anything you ask.
Have you ever thought about quitting?
Dr. Tendo had a girlfriend.
I'll make you laugh, Dr. Tendo.
