An Incurable Case of Love (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Dear god. I have an update.
Fate brought Dr. Tendo and me together.
I, Nanase Sakura have been
pushing forward until today.
But
I like you, Dr. Tendo.
But that's why I
I want to become an excellent nurse.
So I declared.
I've decided to purify my soul
and devote myself as a nurse.
Please let me drink good booze every day.
That'll do.
Let's go get a fortune.
-Yes!
-Which one should I choose?
This one!
Let's see Oh!
"Slightly good luck."
What about yours, Nanako?
Whoa! "Great luck"!
Wow!
How's romance?
"You'll be surprised
by someone wooing you."
Wooing me
Oh no. I'm devoting myself to nursing.
How's work?
"You will blossom if you have motivation."
All right.
Mr. Tazawa.
Congratulations on your discharge.
Thank you.
This is from me.
I heard you live alone.
Huh? What is that?
To prevent arteriosclerosis,
lower your salt intake.
"Low Sodium Diet Book."
Yes. For example
"Instead of drinking all of the soup
in ramen noodles, leave half."
What else?
Let's see
Um
"When grilling fish,
slightly burn it for a toasty aroma."
I see. You add flavor that way.
Can I have one to give to my wife?
That's 100 yen to print.
What?
It costs money?
No. I'm just kidding.
Hey!
It was worth making it.
Um
I'm sorry for the trouble last night.
I'll make you laugh, Dr. Tendo.
Make me happy.
I hate women with bad drinking habits.
I'm sorry.
Yes?
Dr. Tendo, CCU Network, arriving at ER.
Got it.
Emergency.
-Heart failure.
-Vitals?
BP 90/54, pulse is 110 regular,
she's conscious.
IV, blood test, ECG, X-ray.
Will check troponin and H-FABP.
-Electrocardiography too.
-Yes!
I'll take your place.
You couldn't do anything?
No. Emergency response is difficult.
That's for sure.
Even we're not used to it.
You shouldn't get used to it.
Always be on your toes.
But I haven't been much help
since I became a nurse.
I don't feel like I've helped anyone.
Ms. Sakai.
How's the patient?
Keiko Tsuruoka, age 52.
She's stable for the time being.
She'll have a catheter test
after her heart failure settles.
There's risk of another attack.
Let's pay careful attention.
Yes.
What's this?
I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU WORK HARD
Thoughtful gestures like that
must be Dr. Kisugi.
Dr. Kisugi?
Once when I was in
the catheter room for a long time,
he brought me soup as a late night
snack, and I thought I'd fall for him.
Clearly, he's the most popular here.
Most popular?
Fall for him and struggle.
He seems nice, but he isn't easy.
He leaves everything ambiguous,
and confuses women
who want to set things straight.
Oh really?
GOOD WORK GET SOME RES
Oh, hey Sakura.
Dr. Kisugi.
Thank you for the messages.
Maybe I shouldn't say this, but
Being nice to everyone is too great
What is this?
Who sent it?
What? Isn't it from you?
No, it's not from me.
What?
Huh?
What's the matter?
GOOD WORK GET SOME RES
I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU WORK HARD
I have no doubt this is a stalker.
There have been no problems so far.
Some nice man may just be
rooting for me from the shadows.
Like I said, that's called a stalker.
If that's true, he has unusual taste.
What do you mean?
What kind of man would make a pass at you?
Plenty of men!
Even I've got a stalker or two.
That's a problem.
Right.
How about this?
I'll be your bodyguard.
We'll try to commute together.
What?
Good idea. It'd be too late
if something happens.
All right then, Koji.
It's Koichi.
She calls me Nanako too.
Play along as if you're a couple.
-A couple?
-Yes.
-With Dr. Kisugi?
-Yes.
Or do you want to?
Huh?
Then it's decided. Thanks, Koji!
Got it.
I'll pick you up in the morning.
Dr. Kisugi, I really appreciate this.
I feel bad having you come.
-It's reassuring to have you here.
-I was worried too.
Oh! Dr. Kisugi!
Good morning.
Good morning.
Thank you for the other day.
Take these with you.
They're delicious.
Share them at the hospital.
-Thank you.
-See you.
Don't work too hard.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Is he a friend?
I know him from the gym.
The other day, I took care of him
when he fell ill after training.
-Good morning, Dr. Kisugi!
-Good morning.
Don't run!
-Don't fall.
-We won't!
That hurt.
-Are they your friends?
-Huh?
From the gym.
The gym?
The jungle gym.
Oh that one
You play with jungle gyms?
KEIKO TSURUOKA
Oh! Dr. Tendo.
I'm at my limit.
Three on-calls in one night.
Well done.
You're early. Night shift or day?
Day shift.
I came to check on Ms. Tsuruoka.
-The emergency patient.
-Yes.
Wait, isn't she Dr. Kisugi's patient?
Right about now
He probably has his head in the clouds.
HIURA GENERAL HOSPITAL
Can you share this with everyone?
Sure.
How many are there?
I wonder.
Maybe ten? Will that be enough?
-Good morning.
-You're late!
What?
I'm 30 minutes early.
He's talking to me.
My bad.
Ms. Tsuruoka's test results.
Triple-vessel disease.
It's serious.
She needs revascularization.
She needs surgery?
ASAP.
Let's improve her condition here,
then have Cardiac Surgery take her.
I'll talk to Ms. Tsuruoka now.
Sakura, her vitals.
Yes.
Wait, since when is
Ms. Sakura on Team Kisugi?
Mr. Watanabe in Room 701,
let's begin cardiac rehabilitation.
Yes.
Coronary artery bypass surgery?
Yes.
This is plaque,
what's narrowing your arteries.
A new bypass artery will allow blood
to go around the blockage.
Your current state calls
for surgery as soon as
I won't do it.
The surgery?
Yes.
I don't want it.
I'm sorry.
Why not?
She could go into
heart failure again anytime.
Of course, I told her about the risks.
She still wants to avoid surgery.
Is there a reason?
NURSE RECORDS: NEGISHI
NO FAMILY CONTACT INFO
LIVES ALONE
Excuse me.
Ms. Tsuruoka, how are you feeling?
Your breathing?
It's bothering me.
You're not feeling well? Are you nauseous?
No, not that. I'm talking about that.
What?
Thank you for your kindness.
When someone's hair bothers me,
I want to fix it.
I guess it's an occupational hazard.
Ms. Tsuruoka, you're a hairdresser?
That's right.
All on my own.
Been doing this for 30 years.
Wow! I respect you.
All done!
Take a look.
Here.
Oh wow!
Thank you.
Reminds me of when I braided
my daughter's hair.
Your daughter?
See.
Wow!
She's adorable.
Great photo.
A wedding?
Yes. Ten days from now.
Her daughter is getting married.
She wants to attend,
so she doesn't want to get surgery.
If she has surgery, it'll take
three weeks to be discharged.
I understand her feelings,
but I bet her daughter would disagree.
There's a chance she could
collapse at any point.
It's been twenty years.
What?
She left her family when
she got a divorce.
She hasn't seen her daughter since.
Her ex-husband contacted her and
thought the two could be reunited.
Her daughter doesn't know.
She wants to have the surgery
after the wedding.
She wants to see how it goes
on medication until then.
I'll speak with her later.
Let's try to proceed in line
with her wishes.
Yes!
Thank you.
You seem unhappy.
Yeah, I don't like it.
You're listening to the patient's request,
and not proceeding with treatment
or preparing for surgery.
You don't like
Sakura working for me either.
What?
I don't give a damn about that.
Well, don't worry about
Sakura's commute or Ms. Tsuruoka.
I'll be responsible for both.
What? A stalker?
Yeah.
I think it's just my imagination.
But Dr. Kisugi said he'd escort me
to and from the hospital when he can.
I saw you two this morning.
Oh. I assumed
He's nice, isn't he?
I can understand why he's so popular.
Nishi, whatever happened to
the beauty with the plastic bottle?
Didn't you get her contact?
Did you ask her out?
Do what you like. Here.
Don't go near her.
You're prohibited from
interacting with her.
I'm not sure since
Dr. Sayoko is so against it.
Plus, what if I ask, and she says no?
I'd be devastated.
-What? Wuss.
-Wuss.
Shut up. You're not taking it seriously.
He's mad at us.
I understand.
FORTUNE: GREAT LUCK
I want to see her again.
I wonder where she is
and what she's doing now.
Sounds like they're having fun.
She was worried about
the stalker and invited friends over.
-Why don't you invite friends?
-No time for that.
You always look so glum.
All you do is work and never laugh.
You make your sister sad.
Looking at your phone again?
Why don't you just call him?
I made a move already.
I can't make two moves.
That's not what attractive women do.
Whatever.
"A fun fling turns serious."
No way.
Dr. Kisugi, it's time for your rounds.
About Ms. Tsuruoka in room 708
I'm considering catheter treatment
instead of bypass surgery.
Catheter treatment would be
less aggressive for the patient.
The wedding is a week from now,
so she should be able to attend.
Ms. Tsuruoka will be happy.
Thank you for your consideration.
Let's start the treatment
and proceed carefully while observing.
KEIKO TSURUOKA
Ms. Tsuruoka, I brought you your meal.
What's the matter?
My chest hurts.
I'll call the doctor.
Ms. Tsuruoka.
What's wrong?
Ms. Tsuruoka in 708.
Call the doctor. It's an emergency.
Got it. Please assist the patient.
Yes.
Ms. Tsuruoka, can you hear me?
First, I need to check her vitals.
Nitroglycerin spray.
I'm going to open your mouth.
Oxygen.
Excuse me.
Ms. Tsuruoka.
She's having an attack.
12-lead ECG and a nitroglycerin IV.
Yes.
Let me see.
Dr. Tendo.
Ms. Tsuruoka had another angina attack.
But she was treated quickly,
and her condition is stable.
I see.
Ms. Sakura handled emergency
response on her own.
Ms. Tsuruoka?
You're fine now.
I don't
have much longer, do I?
When I thought it was over
there was one wish I had to make.
I want to see my daughter.
I want to see her in a wedding dress.
And be there for her.
Please.
Let me attend the wedding.
One quick glance
If I could see her
whatever happens after doesn't matter.
Please.
Grant my wish.
I wish
I could have seen
what kind of doctor you will be.
Hey.
Do you have a minute?
About Ms. Tsuruoka.
I'd like to convince her
and proceed with the surgery.
As Tendo said, that's what
I should've done from the start.
I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
So what about her daughter's wedding?
Her life is more important.
MS. KEIKO TSURUOKA
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO
I want to see her in a wedding dress.
And be there for her.
We're proceeding with her surgery.
Ms. Tsuruoka agreed?
The treatment plan has changed?
And the wedding?
Dr. Kisugi can't permit her
to go in her current condition.
That's understandable.
If she had another attack
Ms. Negishi, could I speak with you?
Today
I would like to discuss
Warrior, you can do it.
Ms. Keiko Tsuruoka.
She has heart failure caused by ischemia.
She's being considered
for a coronary bypass.
As the application form states,
could we provide out-of-hospital
support so she can attend the wedding?
Out-of-hospital support.
The wedding venue is an hour away.
The trip would take three hours in total.
I know it's a difficult situation,
but perhaps with a nurse accompanying
Sorry, Sakura.
I wish I could agree,
but there's a high risk
of her having another attack.
As her physician, I can't allow her to go.
However, I don't think she'd agree
to having surgery right now.
We'd like to listen to her requests
as much as possible.
That would help in raising
her motivation for treatment.
Who would escort her?
I'll request a day off and accompany her.
But aren't you new?
You won't be able to handle it
without a doctor.
There are risks of a lawsuit too.
I'll find time to speak
with Ms. Tsuruoka later.
I want her to understand
her condition and live a long life.
"For what?"
When I tried to convince her
that's what Ms. Tsuruoka said.
What am I living for?
I don't care if that day is my last.
It'll be
my girl's happiest day of her life.
I want to be with her.
That's
my last wish.
I want her to see her daughter and
I want her to want to live.
I want her to think about
life after treatment.
I won't
let it be the end.
I know I'm not much of an asset.
I'm like a boulder
getting in people's way.
Let's stop thinking about
why it's not possible.
Let's just do it.
We can be an example for
Ms. Tsuruoka so she won't give up.
I want her to want to get better and live.
Ensuring safe travel.
Choosing medical facilities for
emergencies. I'll prepare everything.
So please give me permission.
Please!
I'll go.
I'll take that day off and accompany her.
I'll oversee the plan as well.
So
in case of an emergency
please be prepared to take her in.
Please.
Please.
It's not just to cure an illness
but also to help the patient.
Very well.
However, the final decision
will be made that morning.
We'll continue to meet until then.
Thank you.
That's all for today.
Great job, Warrior.
Yes. I'll tell Ms. Tsuruoka right away.
Wait.
We need to look over the nursing plan.
Yes!
Cannula, check.
Supplies, check.
Okay.
Warrior.
Out-of-hospital support today?
Yes.
What a great idea. Good luck.
-Thank you.
-Good luck.
Good morning, Dr. Tendo.
This isn't for fun. Get a grip!
Yes, of course.
Excuse me.
-Oxygen.
-Yes.
Ms. Tsuruoka, we're here.
We can't stay for long.
It'll be too much stress.
Let's go.
Congratulations.
Absolutely beautiful.
Father, she's beautiful.
Eri.
She's beautiful.
Dad.
Go over to her.
Eri.
I'm Dr. Tendo from Hiura General Hospital.
In her current condition
we can only stay for ten minutes.
What?
Your mother came here
to spend these ten minutes with you.
Eri.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming, Mom.
I'll introduce you to my husband.
You should let her sit down.
I can take her.
I'm relieved.
I'm so happy for Ms. Tsuruoka.
Smile.
Just ten minutes.
But it's ten minutes.
An unforgettable and precious ten minutes.
What are you talking about?
Who doesn't cry witnessing that?
You really are the Devil.
I'm so happy for her.
Phew.
Oops.
Good fortune already.
That was quick.
I hear the fortunes here come true a lot.
I'll push you.
Welcome back, Ms. Tsuruoka.
We'll take it from here.
Thank you for everything.
From now on I'll listen to Dr. Kisugi.
I'll have surgery.
Get better, and let's visit
your daughter again.
Ms. Sakura.
Thank you for today.
Take care.
Shall we go back?
It's all thanks to Ms. Sakura.
She's so great. I love her.
I understand.
Huh?
Where is it?
I forgot my cell phone.
What?
At the wedding venue?
I think so.
Oh well, we need to go back.
It's fine. I'll go get it.
-Huh? Isn't it creepy?
-It's scary.
We found this in the women's locker room.
I have no doubt this is a stalker.
I WANT TO TALK. I'LL COME SEE YOU TODAY.
I'LL COME SEE YOU TODAY.
Are you looking for this?
I thought I'd see you if I waited here.
Mr. Tazawa?
We're finally alone.
You didn't realize it was me?
Why are you?
-Why?
-You never called me.
Give it back.
You're with a different man
every time I see you.
Stop!
We can finally talk. Okay?
Let me go! Please let go!
What are you doing?
Dr. Tendo.
Move!
Stand back.
You're getting in the way.
Dr. Tendo!
Sakura!
Sakura, hang in there.
To Hiura General Hospital.
One, two, three.
Ask if they can accept us.
I'm a doctor there.
Let's go. Front end okay.
-Gauze.
-Yes.
-Please.
-Applying.
-Dr. Tendo.
-Don't speak.
-Dr. Tendo?
-You're bleeding badly.
Nausea?
No.
Dr. Tendo, thank you for coming.
I'm sorry.
You have a surgery tomorrow morning.
That doesn't matter now.
I'm remembering what Ms. Tsuruoka said.
When you think there's no time left
you think about what you truly wish
Be quiet.
I want to go out with you
like we did today.
If possible
hold hands
like a couple
Go on dates
and kiss.
That's enough.
I know.
You have someone
you love.
I'll never be good enough.
But
I love you.
I'll say it
over and over.
Dr. Tendo.
I love you so much.
Sakura.
-I wanted to be with you longer.
-Hey!
Hey!
-Dr. Tendo.
-We're almost there.
I heard you.
Get through this,
and I'll grant your wish.
I'll kiss you and go on dates.
So Sakura
Hey
Hey!
Sakura!
I think I was treated roughly.
I hit my head and lost a lot of blood
but didn't receive special care.
Of course, dimwit.
It's echoing in my head.
Let it echo, dimwit!
Why are you so angry?
If someone suddenly stops responding,
you'd think they lost consciousness.
But you actually fell asleep.
I'm sorry. I'm sleep-deprived.
Your head injury
only required two stitches.
Only two stitches?
I thought I'd need more.
Blood rushes to your head easily.
Um, Dr. Tendo?
It might just be a delusion
because I hit my head.
Did I hear you say in the ambulance
"Get through this,
and I'll grant your wish."
Must be a delusion.
You said it! I heard you.
I think.
I thought I was going to die,
so I think I confessed my feelings to you.
I'm starting to remember.
I think you said,
"I'll kiss you and go on dates."
You made a promise.
I never promised anything.
Dr. Tendo.
A Japanese man is as good as his word.
Dimwit.
Huh? Was it really a delusion?
Maybe because I hit my head.
This is your treatment.
I'll be your boyfriend.
Dr. Tendo is my boyfriend.
Please don't allow Ms. Sakura to attend.
I beg you.
You're the one
mixing work and private life.
I'll do whatever I want with Sakura.
Are you being serious?
