An Incurable Case of Love (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Sorry, my bag.
There it is.
Hey, wait.
I need an explanation.
Since when are you two
Oh no, there's nothing going on.
Nothing.
I heard she suddenly collapsed,
so I checked in on her.
What are you doing here?
I was just worried about Sakura.
I ran into Ryuko,
and she told me Sakura fainted.
Coming.
Dr. Kisugi.
You look better than I expected.
Here you go. This is for you.
Thank you.
How's your fever?
It's better now.
Good.
Some vitamin C
to lower the fever even more.
Dietary fiber for
regulating intestinal function.
They're for you.
Thank you.
Oh! So good.
They were delicious.
It's probably just a cold.
By the looks of things
You'll be fine.
Yes. Thank you.
I've got my appetite back too.
Well then, you can go.
I'll stay with her.
-What?
-Can't leave her alone with a fever.
What are you saying? Why should you?
Then you stay here with her.
Sakura's on Team Tendo.
Take care of her.
This can't be true.
We're spending the night together?
He's so close.
Hurry up sleep already.
How can I sleep?
How's the fever?
Dr. Tendo?
You want some water?
Here.
What should I do?
What's gonna happen next?
Who am I kidding? I know
This is just a dream, right?
Oh, I don't want to wake up
from this dream.
REM sleep.
Huh? Where's Dr. Tendo?
DRINK THIS AND SLEEP
It was just a dream.
HIURA GENERAL HOSPITAL
Good morning.
Good morning, Warrior. Are you better?
Yes. I'm fully recovered.
Thank you for swapping shifts with me.
We all help each other out.
Warrior, could you take
Anri Shirahama to Dr. Tendo?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Huh? He's not here yet.
Let's wait inside.
Here we go.
Ms. Sakura, look.
-Hmm?
-My legs have gotten fat. I'm bummed.
Oh. It's just a little swollen.
I wonder what's taking Dr. Tendo so long.
What's the matter?
Huh?
Dr. Tendo's next door.
TREATMENT ROOM B
Excuse me.
I'm sorry we're late.
Morning, Anri.
Good morning.
Let's work hard again.
Yeah.
DIMWIT!
I'm sorry.
You got into trouble again.
Yes.
A hard blow from the morning.
I think you're on the right track.
-What?
-The way he was last night.
By the looks of things
You'll be fine.
He seems concerned about you.
Really?
You think so? What makes you think that?
Just my intuition.
Have confidence.
Really?
Yes!
Yes!
You made my day.
You're the only person I'm telling.
That day, when I said I wanted to quit
Dr. Tendo said,
"You're on Team Tendo, right?"
And then he hugged me.
That wasn't a dream. Dr. Tendo really did.
He hugged you?
Mr. Numazu.
-What?
-It's blabbermouth.
The Devil hugged you?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I wasn't feeling well
He hugged you? Hugged?
What?
Please don't tell anyone.
You're not involved in this.
Dr. Tendo will be upset
with me if he hears.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
Warrior, trust me.
Yes.
Hey, listen.
The Devil hugged the Warrior.
What?!
-He hugged her?
-Hugged!
-Mr. Numazu!
-That wasn't even a minute.
I couldn't keep it in.
Don't get the wrong idea.
There's nothing going on.
Besides, he already dumped me.
The game has only just begun.
Tell us all about it
at the new staff welcome party.
Can't wait.
Focus on growing as a nurse.
Then Dr. Tendo will reconsider
and start to see you as a woman.
Really?
It's Mr. Sugamo again.
Again?
Who wants to go?
I will.
Mr. Sugamo, what's the matter?
A ventricular assist device?
Yes. Anri
Her heart failure is
progressing from Stage C to D.
It's nice out today.
Look. I found a strange looking cloud.
Did you know that's called
a butterfly cloud?
Really?
We must maintain her present condition
until the heart transplant.
The circumstances
are very similar to that time.
Mr. Sugamo, what's the matter?
What is this?
This food combination is terrible.
Food combination?
HEALTHCARE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Have you found another health regimen?
He's into the color energy method.
You convert the amount of vegetables
you eat per day into energy.
Give me that.
This was delivered.
Mr. Sugamo, meals are based on
the doctor's instruction.
Don't worry, you are getting better.
But my discharge was postponed.
Ask Doc when I can leave.
I'll let him know.
When he can be discharged?
Can you talk to Mr. Sugamo?
He works as a bus driver.
He mentioned they need more people.
Maybe he's under pressure.
Renal artery stenting was a success.
He's on meds to prevent blood clots.
Why isn't his INR level improving?
That is strange.
Leave it up to me.
I'll continue to observe him
and solve this mystery.
Mr. Tazawa?
Mr. Tazawa just got
admitted today for angina.
The names are mixed up.
What?
Look.
Mr. Sugamo's record is under
Mr. Tazawa and vice versa.
That face
Five seconds till you yell "Dimwit."
Five
Four, three
Two, one
Dimwit!
I'm sorry.
When will I be discharged?
We'll decide after your next blood test.
I want to leave as soon as possible.
Sorry I'm late.
I bought the earphones.
I bought them already.
-What?
-You took too long.
I'm sorry, Dr. Tendo.
He's always like this.
I'll try my best to get him discharged
as soon as possible.
Schedule a blood test.
Yes.
Mr. Shin Tazawa. I'm Dr. Tendo.
Nice to meet you.
How are you feeling?
Well, I don't have
any noticeable symptoms.
Let's talk some more later on.
Mr. Sugamo, I'm going to draw blood.
Roll your sleeve up.
Gently make a fist with your thumb inside.
Why are you still here?
Why talk to me like that?
I came here for you.
You'll feel a prick.
Ow!
I'm sorry. I'll do it again.
That's unusual for her.
She's usually pretty good.
Excuse me. I'm going to try again.
Ow!
I'm sorry. I'll try again
on your right arm.
Give me a break!
Can you do it instead?
You messed up more than once?
Afterwards, I also failed
with Mr. Tazawa's.
And then what happened?
I did it for her.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
When you fail once, you get nervous
and fail again. It's a vicious cycle.
It happens.
Till you get back into form, no needles.
What?
You're just getting in the way.
Harsh as usual.
No needles?
We're short on nurses as it is.
I'll get it right again. I'll practice.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Hey!
Watch it.
Is something the matter?
I just
really got fed up.
He's been so irritable for some reason.
I'm stressed from work too.
You're very busy,
but you make time to visit him.
I respect that.
Wow
Thank you.
Not at all.
MMI?
Yes. The latest model of
ventricular assist devices.
Clinical application has started.
It's most suitable for Anri.
Thanks.
I'll study it before the conference.
Okay.
Dr. Sayoko.
Anri's test results.
Thank you for coming all the way.
-No problem.
-Thanks.
The Devil
I mean, Dr. Tendo looks busy as usual.
That's true. I wonder when he sleeps.
I bet he has no personal life.
Does he have a girlfriend?
A girlfriend?
DIAGNOSIS: DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
What?
There is someone?
Well
Maybe you should know.
What? Dr. Tendo had a girlfriend?
Yes. She was also a resident.
In the end,
she became a patient.
A patient?
She passed away eight years ago
from dilated cardiomyopathy.
Same as Anri.
Dr. Kisugi.
Here you go.
Practice on me.
What?
Oh no. I can't borrow your arm.
I feel bad.
How will you make a comeback?
What's wrong?
Operation Cream Puff.
I'll take her.
You can go. I'll stay with her.
The reason why you're so supportive of me
It's because you're
worried about Dr. Tendo.
I heard
Dr. Tendo had a girlfriend.
What was she like?
Minori.
Normally, you wouldn't
want to know things like that.
I want to know.
Let's see
She was like an excavator.
What?
When we were residents
there was a snowstorm,
the biggest in decades.
The trains and buses had stopped.
No one could get to the hospital.
Hey!
But she dug her way to the hospital.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You came in this snow?
What do you mean?
I dug all this way because I thought
you could use my help.
Don't you live far?
I'm fine. I like the winter.
I have to change.
We should wipe that up.
She was strong.
And honest.
She never looked back.
Kairi, don't cry.
He wasn't a full-fledged doctor yet.
We have to keep going.
We must overcome these hard times.
We'll save them next time.
But she got sick during residency.
MINORI WAKABAYASHI
DIAGNOSIS: DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
When I get better,
I want to go eat noodles.
That place with duck noodles.
Let's go again.
She passed away while
waiting for a transplant.
I only saw it once
Tendo was crying.
In the hospital room she was in.
Ever since then, I haven't seen him cry.
Or laugh hard at something.
That's why I hoped someone would appear.
And break him free from the chains
that are holding him down.
Dr. Tendo is so lucky
to have a friend like you, Dr. Kisugi.
Mr. Sawatari, I'm adding medication.
Yes, please.
Take these before bedtime.
Mr. Sugamo, I'm here for your blood test.
-Mr. Sugamo.
-Ms. Sakai, can you do it?
It's fine. I can do it.
Come on. Hurry.
Sakai, take over.
Yes.
I'm sorry again.
I'm going to tie this.
FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING
Honestly
it's not easy
Working with someone like Sakura.
When Dr. Tendo is around,
she can't even draw blood.
As a result, all her work comes to me.
And I can't do my job.
It's been a big burden on you.
I'm sorry I didn't realize.
I'm sorry too.
I didn't really want to say this.
Sho.
Can you walk now?
Your fever's down, right?
Your fever is down?
That's good.
What?
Let's go back to your room.
Why are you here?
I remembered your business card.
I had something to take care of,
so I decided to stop by.
I thought we'd never meet again.
Are you a grown man now?
Huh?
Hey, Nishi?
Is she your girlfriend?
No, nothing like that yet.
Stay away.
Don't go near her.
I don't understand.
Nice to see you, Sayoko.
Why are you here?
-You're beautiful as always.
-W-Wait!
Liar. Always says things she doesn't mean.
-Oh wait!
-What?
If I look carefully, you've aged.
See. I told you.
What?
You're prohibited from
interacting with her.
There's history between us.
History?
It's up to you to decide
between Sayoko and me.
Do what you like.
Here.
See you later, Sayoko. Bye.
MANABU SUGAMO
NURSE RECORDS: SAKURA
NURSE RECORDS: SAKURA
HE BOUGHT HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS
VITAMINS/MINERALS
I've had enough.
What are you doing?
-I said I'm leaving.
-Stop it.
-What's going on?
-Ms. Sakura, please stop him.
They started fighting.
Mr. Sugamo, please wait.
Shut up. I'm leaving.
I can't stay here.
No. You don't have permission to leave.
Please stop this.
Leave me alone. Let go.
Mr. Sugamo. I'm leaving!
Dr. Tendo.
Mr. Sugamo, you can't be discharged yet.
I'm leaving.
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
Is there something
you're taking every day?
Huh?
Excuse me for a moment.
You've been drinking this green juice?
GREEN JUICE
Yeah.
Green juice?
Yes. He decided to drink it
on his own because it's healthy.
That explains why
the Warfarin wasn't working.
Too much vitamin K reduces its effects.
I should've been more thorough
with drug guidance.
I didn't notice. I'm sorry.
How did you know?
The nurse records.
What?
Nurse records?
NURSE RECORDS: SAKURA
HE SAID VITAMINS/MINERALS/FIBER
WERE IMPORTAN
SAKURA NANASE
Wow
so green juice was the problem.
Yes.
I also didn't notice.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
Don't worry.
I'm just glad.
But why did you suddenly say
you were leaving?
I'm sorry.
His attitude was so bad.
I said I'd divorce him,
and then he lost it.
You're worried about work?
Um. No.
It's not about work.
My wife.
What?
Your wife?
Since I can't work
she's been overworking herself.
I was worried she'd collapse
if I didn't get back soon.
Oh that's why.
You were shopping online
so you wouldn't burden her.
Mr. Sugamo, you're actually
a nice husband.
Huh?
Of course I am.
Yes. Sorry. It was just
a slip of the tongue.
Here.
What?
But be prepared. If you make a mistake
I can't.
I can't do it on you.
Then quit your job.
FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING
Please let me.
Don't stop talking. Say something.
Pardon?
If you stare at the needle,
patients will be nervous.
If you're nervous, loosen up
and talk to your patients.
I'm not sure what to say.
I'll answer anything you ask.
Have you ever
Minori.
Have you ever
thought about quitting?
No.
I swore
that'd I'd cure and save my patients.
If you can draw blood from me,
you should be fine.
Get back to your duties from tomorrow.
Dr. Tendo.
Thank you.
Feels lucky to be a supervisor.
What?
That.
Is that a mark of honor?
You let her practice on you.
If we get any more behind,
it'll affect the patients.
It's not about honor or
anything like that.
No. I was talking about myself.
I feel lucky to be a supervisor.
My best pupil finally wants
to train someone.
It's true. She did it in one try.
I'm fine now.
I'm sorry for worrying everyone.
You've recovered, Ms. Sakura.
That's great news for everyone.
Goodbye.
Congratulations on your discharge.
Congratulations!
Thank you for everything.
Please take care.
I hope you become an excellent nurse.
Yes.
This new staff welcome party
is starting to get hot!
Cheers!
Nice!
As usual, those on night shift
can't make it.
But this year, the wallet
Hey.
Sorry.
I know what you're saying. I'm the wallet.
I'm glad. Thanks in advance.
Thank you.
What are you doing? Girlfriend?
Yeah. She keeps asking where I am.
What? A girlfriend?
Yeah. She's a preschool teacher
from Osaka.
I moved here because she did.
A girlfriend?
What?
You didn't think I could have one?
-Oh no.
-That's not true.
Aren't you lucky.
How's the husband search?
No luck. It's like
a fishing ground without fish.
-I'm wandering around forever.
-Marriage isn't everything.
Do you think it's fun to work all day
and come home to a pile of dishes?
Then wake up at five to do
two loads of laundry?
You got divorced because you
were sick of such complaints.
Divorce? Who?
Who me?
Yeah I did.
He's divorced?
What? Dr. Tendo.
It's great you joined us. Have a seat.
You told me to come.
It's unusual for him
to come out for drinks.
Come. Sit next to the Warrior.
I can finally get the scoop.
About what?
About the two of them.
Which two?
Please be quiet.
-Huh?
-Here you go.
You at least don't hate the Warrior.
What?
Of course not. He hugged her.
"You're on Team Tendo, right?"
-What have you been blabbing about?
-I'm sorry.
That means, it's the truth.
You mean, it wasn't
all in the Warrior's head?
What wasn't?
About the two of them.
Excuse me.
About that
I'm sorry to cause trouble.
But that day, Dr. Tendo just
took care of me because I was sick.
It wasn't like that.
Really?
Obviously.
I've been making mistakes every day.
I keep thinking I'm not fit to be
a nurse, and that I should quit.
It's true that
I like you, Dr. Tendo.
A lot.
But that's why I
I want to become an excellent nurse.
And so
I'm going to concentrate solely
on my work and push forward.
Please give me your guidance and support.
Wonderful.
Go, Warrior.
Thank you for your attention.
I'll drink to that.
Dr. Koishikawa, you haven't
been drinking at all.
-Thank you. You'll pour some for me?
-Allow me.
I can't let her beat me.
Why are you laughing?
Just thinking I may join in the game.
Excuse me. Another bottle of beer please.
Meow!
NEKOFUKU
Ms. Sakura, are you okay? The stairs!
She's completely drunk.
I'm leaving her in your hands.
What?
You live in the same building, right?
Let's drink more.
Shall we?
Ms. Sakai, come with us.
-Take care of her.
-I know a place!
You troublesome boulder.
Rice with egg
and rice with fermented beans.
Mix them up for a healthy meal.
Be quiet. You're causing trouble.
Rice with yam and rice with okra.
Mix them up for sticky
Shut up.
Water.
What?
Here.
Drink it so we can leave.
Open.
You better not forget this.
Of course I won't forget.
You're going to yell at me
as usual, right?
"You dimwit!"
"Moronic boulder!"
"Useless dolt!"
I've never said that much.
It's fine.
I'm just a good-for-nothing nurse.
What you said earlier
Did you mean it?
"I want to be an excellent nurse."
If you really mean it
I meant what I said.
Then
I'll train you.
I say this because you're promising.
You'll be an asset someday.
So
have confidence.
Even if you encounter challenges,
overcome them.
I can't say
You should overcome your challenge, but
You lost someone special to you.
And you work so hard
you're called the Devil.
If you always have a grim face
it's too hard.
I'll make you laugh, Dr. Tendo.
A bitter laugh,
a half laugh, or a belly laugh.
Whatever is fine.
As long as it makes you happy.
That will
make me happy.
Don't fall asleep.
-A couple?
-With Dr. Kisugi?
Since when is Ms. Sakura on Team Kisugi?
One quick glance. If I could see her.
I want her to want to live.
Stand back.
-Move!
-Dr. Tendo!
I wanted to be with you longer.
Sakura!
