Shinjuku Yasen Byoin (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

TANOMAIL OFFICE GOODS
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest entertainment district
in East Asia.
Ma'am! Your luggage!
Ma'am!
Hostess bars, host clubs, girls bars
and other legal entertainment
establishments line the street.
Anybody can live it up safely.
KABUKICHO FIRST AVENUE
I'm sorry but
I don't know you very well yet
is what I think she will say.
You mean you don't know me well, right?
I'm confessing my love to Mai,
so answer it from Mai's perspective!
Don't use me as practice! It's so rude!
Fine! Tell you what
- I can offer you counseling in return.
- What for?
For what's most important in life
your looks!
Five minutes of free
professional counseling by me!
No, thank you.
- I think you need it, though.
- What do you mean?
Oh, sorry.
I mean, you have a very unique face.
One step away
from being cute.
A mishmash
of cute.
It's like your cute
by accident.
Ugh, my vocabulary is awful!
I need more practice on how to encourage
customers to get work done.
As I said, stop using me for practice!
Sorry!
I went to buy more snacks!
What is it?
Um
- Mai.
- Oh
I'm sorry but
I don't know you very well yet
- Okay, take your trousers off.
- Why so happy?
Didn't you get dumped?
Well, she's definitely starting
to see me in a romantic way now.
She messages me when she wakes up,
and when she goes to bed.
We're practically dating.
Um I'd prefer a male doctor if possible
- Ms. Horii.
- Huh?
Oh, my apologies! I'll leave!
No, you're not the problem
- Ouch!
- Why did you put it in?
I was filming for YouTube.
You know how if you place a boiled egg
on a warm milk bottle, it slips in?
So I
IT GETS SUCKED INTO THE MILK BOTTLE!
So you decided
to try it for yourself, huh?
- You idiot!
- Emergency patient incoming!
A fight between foreigners at Golden Gai.
One of them might have
a facial bone fracture.
- Scary
- His nose is deformed and beat up.
- His ear is torn and all bloody.
- Gross!
- He's also broken some of his teeth.
- That's so grim!
We got denied everywhere else.
Lowering the patient.
Kabukicho where people of
every ethnicity gather and
languages from all over are spoken.
This is St. Magokoro Hospital,
located in an obscure part of Kabukicho.
It is also known as
SHINJUKU FIELD HOSPITAL
Any plans?
I just want a day off.
I get that, but what for?
What will you do with it?
Just to rest and do nothing.
What a waste.
- Do you think so?
- Of course.
What's the point of you having a day off?
You don't read, you don't do housework,
your relationship
with your husband is non-existent,
so you'll just fall asleep
watching Korean dramas.
And you'll think
"Why didn't I go in to work
if I was going to waste my day like this."
I guess so.
A possible orbital blowout fracture!
W-What do you mean?
Guten tag!
He needed an operation!
And it's not an operation
that we can perform.
Jó napot kívánok!
Salam!
Salam
He's from Azerbaijan.
Nope, sorry!
I can't think of any jokes
or information about Azerbaijan!
- Passport?
- He wasn't carrying it.
Insurance card?
Any cash? Credit card?
Nothing at all?
Oxygen saturation is declining.
Let's call a critical care center.
We can't treat him!
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
"Yeah"? We're actually doing this?
It's fine.
It's not fine!
He can't pay a penny for the treatment!
All you talk about is money, Ms. Shiraki.
I am in charge of accounts!
Did you possibly
Did you punch Mr. Azerbaijan?
Oh, no
The one with severe injuries
has no passport nor an insurance card.
The one with a small injury
has travel insurance.
In theory, we should send
the former to critical care,
and treat the latter here
so we can make a profit.
However
This is going to hurt a bit
Inoki?
"Shiraku" was fine.
It's an understandable mispronunciation.
She is American, after all.
But
"Inoki" is totally different.
In the end, we sent the one with
a small injury to a critical care center.
I can't believe it!
It's as equal as it gets!
This is wrong!
We should be trying to make money!
No, it's not about the money.
We should be sending the severely injured
to a critical care center!
But they all rejected him
which is why Yoko treated him, right?
Maybe we have different ideas
as to what constitutes a serious wound.
Maybe for Dr. Yoko, even if the guts
are spilling out it's still a light injury
as long as the person is still alive?
She was an army doctor.
Since Yoko Nishi Freeman has arrived,
my work here has not been easy.
At least
give me a day off!
Due to Ms. Shiraki's cry for help,
a shift system was implemented.
As a work style reform.
ST. MAGOKORO HOSPITAL
Closed on Sundays
and emergencies only on Mondays.
A five-day workweek that she dreamed of.
The director's brother Keizo,
was quick to jump on this opportunity.
Wow Toru!
Let's take down that filthy painting
and hang a poster.
Good idea, Dad.
He redesigned one of the examination rooms
and started a Monday-only beauty clinic.
Gets!
Toru's the number one!
He even had his son
work at a host club to draw patients in.
We will show you a good time!
Let's drink some champagne!
And spent a fortune
on advertising as well.
WANT TO BECOME JAPAN'S NO.1 HOSTESS?
Apologies for the wait.
I'm Toru Takamine, the director.
I'm a beauty influencer.
My name's I Onna.
So
a hyaluronic acid injection
and a liposuction?
PATIENT APPOINTMENTS
Toru this is bad!
Appointments are pouring in!
- What?
- You're joking.
Wow, we have more reviews, too.
Why? This is scary!
I knew it.
The beauty influencer from the other day
posted about us on Instagram!
- Show me!
- Look!
I Onna What a name!
"Magokoro's hyaluronic acid injections
are extremely cheap"
An Okayaman dialect!
I don't know her.
Other clinics set their prices too high.
- Should we raise our prices, too?
- No, let's keep them as is.
But please make sure
to keep us well-stocked!
Aye, sir!
Thank you very much
for coming to Magokoro.
Those who want to be more beautiful,
form two lines!
This side is for Botox,
the other for hyaluronic acid.
Please make sure you're in the right line.
Please stand closer together.
You're all already beautiful
Oh?
- I'm not who you think.
- I haven't said anything.
My laugh lines
I have a matchmaking barbecue next week!
I'm trying to bag the surgeon.
Please, don't tell my father!
If you have a matchmaking event soon,
this is the perfect time
to come to our Monday Beauty Clinic.
Our Monday Beauty Clinic!
See you!
ST. MAGOKORO HOSPITAL
I'm sorry.
- Did I wake you?
- It's late!
I said I'm sorry.
You're scary
Aren't you going to ask where I was
and what I was doing with who?
I didn't OD though.
Of course, you didn't.
Drugs are the worst.
My roommate
I understood "pusher" but nothing else.
Why do you sleep with your shoes on?
Do your feet smell?
You have to be prepared to run anytime,
especially at night.
Oh yeah, you worked on battlefields.
Pretty amazing.
No, it's not.
I feel safe with you by my side.
Only you can protect yourself!
Thanks. Sorry.
Go to sleep!
Good night.
They're gone
They're gone again!
My Peyang noodles disappeared again!
You had them yesterday.
Those were yesterday's!
What's this?
The latest laser treatment equipment.
- What's it called?
- It's a Pico Laser.
Director! My Peyang noodles
Huh?
Why is the Pico Laser sitting in my chair?
Because it's more useful than you.
We just put it there for now
to get it out of people's way.
Diminishes dark spots,
clears the skin tone,
gets rid of wrinkles,
and makes your skin youthful!
All that with this?
You'd look 20 years younger.
- What?
- No way!
- H-How much is it?
- Ten million yen!
We don't need it!
Don't forget that we're a hospital
with more important things to do!
Modernizing our toilets, for example.
Move it out of my sight, Hazuki.
It's an eyesore.
Did you not hear me, Ms. Shiraki?
Do you want to try it out later?
- Can we?
- Ms. Horii!
I'll cover the cost for now.
It's an initial investment.
Charge 40,000 to 50,000 yen per session,
and it pays for itself in 200 sessions.
It's not what doctors do.
There you go!
You think that only surgeons are
real doctors and look down on others.
It's that arrogance
that got us into this situation!
Constant debt, insufficient staff.
Shut it, you miser.
Ten million yen. Director.
We have ten million here!
The demand is high and cosmetic
dermatology is more lucrative.
You can't afford to choose patients!
Why can't you two oldies get along?
We fight because we're old!
- Two dry curries, please.
- Huh? Got it
He used to be so cute.
He had big round eyes.
His eyes are still big and round.
We had a ten-year age gap
but we were close.
We were called
the Kabukicho Magokoro Brothers.
I want to ride the teacups
at least ten times!
Keizo, don't run!
Only doctors had pagers back then.
- Really?
- I'm sorry.
It rang anytime a patients'
condition worsened.
- We're going home, Keizo.
- But why?
Keisuke was old enough to understand,
but I was still young.
- No, I don't want to go!
- I'd cry myself hoarse and fight back.
No, I don't want to go home!
It always rang at the worst times.
Sports festivals, school events,
parents' day.
It was so annoying,
I wished he hadn't come to the events.
Doctors' kids all suffer
the same thing, don't they?
Keisuke as a surgeon
and me as a physician.
That was our dad's
Not dream,
but his realistic expectations.
After Keisuke passed the medical exam,
he was really hard on me.
Keizo ran away from home often
to hang out at the discos.
It was next to
the Toa building, the now Kabukicho Tower.
He's one of the original Toyoko kids,
I guess.
How about you?
- It sounds like home.
- Huh?
- This, it sounds like home.
- What?
"It sounds like home"?
What on earth is she saying?
Uh
It "smells" like home?
Bug rice?
That's what she called it.
Any photos?
He died when I was 20.
What did you do?
So that's why you're an army
I see.
I was in the army for 13 years.
- You went through a lot.
- Yum!
But I'm glad you made it out.
And that you're alive.
Are you crying?
No, I'm not.
Yum!
This is so tasty!
You must be raking it in.
We have an American
who also speaks
in an Okayaman dialect, working here.
The Okayaman dialect is quite funny.
There are so many ways of saying "very",
such as "De-re-, Bokke-, Monge-"
"Buchi" is another way to say "very".
- How are they different?
- The difference?
- Yeah.
- Hmm that's difficult.
"De-re-" is like
"Bokke-" is
So the difference is in the face?
What about "Monge-"?
They're all the same!
Oh, really?
"Bokke-, De-re-, and Monge-",
all the same.
We say "de-re de-kon te-te-te."
- I don't get it.
- I said, "Cook that big radish."
- Are you okay drinking more?
- As good as an IV drip!
Hey!
He's a famous cosmetic surgeon.
Here, take his business card.
You, too!
- Here.
- Thank you!
Amazake is the drinkable IV drip
Thank you, ma'am.
- Hello!
- Thank you.
Men of this generation are getting
more and more good-looking. It's great!
Can you tell that to our Director?
There's nothing wrong with men
spending money on their looks!
Right?
Well, the downside is that
the dating market is fiercer.
- Huh? W-What are you doing?
- Let's continue this chat at a hotel.
Wait, what? You must be joking.
Come on, we don't have to do anything.
No
We can't. Oh!
ROYAL HEAR
No!
It's not like that! No!
It's really not! No!
That's all I can say! Help me out!
- I'm I Onna.
- That won't help!
I understand what kind of person
you are now.
As I said
Hello?
Yes.
What?
What is this place?
I'm just trying to look out for her.
Come in.
CHINESE RESTAURAN
Thanks.
Shoplifting.
Overdosing on stolen drugs?
Just how much trouble
do you want to cause?
I'm so sorry for the trouble.
Rather than apologizing
tell her off.
If you don't, she'll do it again.
Picking up trash and cooking
for the poor is all great but
But you as an adult
need to scold her when needed.
I'm Inui, a child welfare officer.
I was told she has run away from home
before and you took her in then?
She has nowhere to go.
Not even her home or school is safe, so
The ones who have nowhere to go
are kicking out the ones
who originally belonged there.
That's what's happening in Kabukicho.
What do you mean?
- What's happening?
- It's a lawless state.
Kids couldn't go near the area before.
That's because of the terrifying adults
that ruled the area.
- It helped keep the area in order.
- I disagree!
We don't need that sort of order
created by criminals and yakuza!
You can't make 150,000 yen
a night with yakuza around.
I'm sorry.
No one's told you off, yet.
First offense, right?
We can talk about it more in detail
once the parents are here.
Parents?
No, you can't.
- Well yeah, she's a minor.
- But
No, we just can't.
You called them?
She ran away from them
because her mother's boyfriend is abusive.
- I didn't see that in her reports.
- She's too scared to make a statement.
- That's very common recently.
- Yes, exactly!
Some get sexually harassed
by their own parents.
- Where can those kids go?
- Well, the child care center
- Some kids struggle to fit in!
- I don't know!
This town is full of adults
who deceive and exploit those kids
with false words and prom
You said "those kids" twice now.
What?
It doesn't matter.
It's all the same.
Being at home, school,
and the care center.
I thought Kabukicho would be better
but it's the same.
I don't care about the society
or where I belong.
Is it because I'm being abused?
Because I slept with my mom's boyfriend?
Because I ran away from home,
overdosed, and shoplifted
What makes me one of "those kids"?
Do you feel sorry for me? Huh?
It's so dumb.
Fine!
Cast me as one of "those kids"
if you enjoy that kind of sob story!
Mayu
Hey, hey hang on.
Mayu?
How did you know?
I haven't told Toru.
Why?
- Why?
- Why don't you tell him?
I spank some old filthy men
to make money to save people
in weaker positions than me.
Is that wrong?
Men lie to their families to have sex
with young girls and to feel less guilty,
they try to help them.
Runaway girls swindle
creepy old men out of money.
In the same way, I don't feel guilty
at all and I should be charging more!
You don't even know
who Tarantino or Rodriguez are.
Name the video store Tarantino worked at.
- GEO?
- Manhattan Beach Video Archives.
Huh? Who's that?
- Pause it!
- Yes!
It's just Yoshino taking out the trash.
He's destroying the evidence.
No way
Huh? What are you guys doing?
Horii insisted we check
the security camera footage.
There is definitely a
Peyang thief in this building!
- Keep going!
- Okay.
And that's the reason
you're here on your day off?
I find it hard to stay away.
And yes, I do have a boring life.
Oh? Haven't we met?
At the Korean restaurant
My name is Park.
Mr. Park! Thanks for coming!
This makes me happy. Come in!
- Oh!
- Huh?
I've had a headache
since my last hyaluronic acid injection
and Botox treatment.
Hyaluronic acid injection and Botox.
Okay! Thank you.
I'll give you a discount
since it's your first visit.
No!
Hmm? What's wrong?
Headhaches.
Headhaches?
Head Oh!
Headache!
I see! You speak Japanese? Okay!
Okay, I'll prescribe some Loxoprofen.
I'm with a patient.
Mayu didn't come back last night.
- Did Minami call?
- Nope! No clue. Leave.
Reclining the seat.
What's wrong?
What?
Pause it there!
What, where? What is it?
- Play!
- Okay
Ms. Horii, we need an ER room!
Okay!
Police! Can I go cool down in the lobby?
- Oh?
- Stop!
What's going on?
Who's that?
Annyeonghaseyo?
Annyeonghaseyo.
He's Korean, and he's very cute.
We have eyes.
He has.
He's had quite a bit.
What?
- She says his nose is becoming necrotic.
- What?
Is it possible that the hyaluronic acid
went into his veins?
It's rare, but the blood flow stops
and it can lead to blindness.
Geez, I almost gave him another injection!
I don't know, it's not my specialty.
We have something
that can dissolve the hyaluronic acid!
Thank you, Yoko!
They managed to avoid a possible disaster,
thanks to their prompt measures.
However
Bad reviews
have a bigger effect than good reviews.
Misinformation spread on social media,
making it as if Magokoro's procedure
was what caused the problem.
I'M DISAPPOINTED
DID YOU PROMOTE IT KNOWINGLY?
I'M SO SHOCKED
IT'S LAUGHABLE
DID YOU REALLY RECEIVE THE TREATMENT?
THE HOSPITAL PAID HER
FRAUD!
BEAUTY INFLUENCER?
ARE YOU ALRIGHT? I'M WORRIED
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
ISN'T THIS A CRIME?
MEDICAL ACCIDENT AT ST. MAGOKORO?
MALE PATIENT ALMOST LOST HIS NOSE
DUE TO AN ERROR IN PROCEDURE
SHINJUKU LOCAL NEWS
THE DARK SIDE OF COSMETIC TREATMENTS
Their sales plummeted.
They suffered damage from the rumors.
Unfortunately, you cannot return it.
RETURN
Just like a host club urikake,
you owe him ten million.
Don't worry.
How can we not?
This is Mr. Kariya,
we used to go to the discos together.
That really brings me back. BIBA, right?
Used to dance all night,
us two and Sam from TRF!
In another world, we could have been
the ones doing "EZ Do Dance."
For sure!
You might not know this,
but Mr. Kariya is Kabukicho's
real estate king.
I know.
I've seen his huge signboard.
Exactly.
Here and there, and everywhere!
He owns all of them!
And he has noticed the value
our hospital location has.
KABUKICHO CHAMPAGNE TOWER
CONCEPTIONAL DRAWING
A hair salon and a spa on the fifth,
a host club on the fourth,
a hostess club on the third,
a consumer loan company on the second,
and a Pachinko on the first floor.
So you get pampered on the top floor,
become a host, hostess,
you work, borrow money,
and gamble that money
as you hit rock bottom
it resembles a Champaign Tower.
The B1 floor is for legal prostitution.
So this embodies all your desires,
does it?
Oh?
What about cosmetic dermatology?
Look again.
- I thought we were opening a clinic.
- Look again!
BC?
Beauty clinic?
- 20㎡?
- Smaller than the current space.
Sorry, son.
But I'm not kind enough to trust
someone with such loose morals
like you to take over our hospital.
In return for transferring the mortgage,
Mr. Kariya has agreed
to take over the money I lent you.
The interest rate is 15 percent.
If you can't pay me back
by the end of the year
I will put this place up for auction.
Can I have one?
Sure, it's not like we have any patients.
What a shit father!
I never thought he would do that to me!
I'm so sorry.
I mean, we'll be fine, right?
Yeah, we can find somewhere else to work.
But what about you?
Ah, right.
No license.
Sugar dating it is!
Do you actually know what that is?
It made me think, though.
Think what?
What the director always says.
That cosmetic dermatologists
aren't doctors?
Obviously, I don't agree.
It gives me a sense of accomplishment
and it's profitable.
But
- There are too many things we can't do.
- Well
I guess you're not exactly
treating illnesses.
Exactly!
It doesn't save lives!
I do acknowledge that.
Even if you have no wrinkles
and have plump lips,
you'd still die if a car runs you over!
On a battlefield,
soldiers wouldn't care about how they look
when they're heading into battle!
They do, actually. They really do.
- Do they?
- Why do you think they don't?
Sorry.
He was very handsome.
It really increased my motivation.
Wait, what?
You said all lives are equal
regardless of their looks!
- It was a figure of speech.
- She admitted it.
No, that was a proper kiss!
He was conscious!
A battlefield
It's a battle where you fight to survive.
A battle where you fight to get married.
As long as you live,
you want to be beautiful.
That's how humans are.
Which makes you a fine doctor.
Thanks.
What do you think?
I'm leaving.
Don't drink too much, okay?
Stop telling me what to do! Go!
What's in this?
I think I got scammed!
Okay, watch this.
From the emergency entrance,
through the corridor
and up the stairs
Switching to the second floor.
He gets to the door of Yoko's room
and disappears!
- Mayu?
- He ran away because Mayu came back!
- So creepy!
- I can look him up if I can borrow this.
He was injured.
- Huh?
- What?
- Can you rewind it?
- Sure.
There.
Pause it!
See his right hand?
Let's zoom in.
It's him.
He sat on that bench.
It's him!
I'm sure of it! Excuse me.
Really?
Michael?
- And then?
- We sent him to the critical care center.
- I'm so glad!
- A pusher.
He's a pusher's underling.
He followed me.
Well, the downside is that
the dating market is fiercer.
Shit
- W-What are you doing?
- Let's continue this chat at a hotel.
I see
By the way, where's the director?
He's not here.
Oh, really.
- Who was that?
- Huh?
Ah!
I found the Peyang thief.
Thank you!
Don't pretend to be asleep.
If you die
I will be devastated.
Your life, your choice.
This is boring.
Make some noise at least
Only you can protect yourself!
Ricchan.
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
Everyone can feel safe here,
in the biggest entertainment
district in East Asia.
Mayu?
SHINJUKU GOLDEN GAI
She's too cute to dump?
- You idiot!
- I have to apologize to you.
All he cared for
was his hospital and his name!
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION
THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE FICTITIOUS
AND UNRELATED TO EXISTING ONES
