Black Pean (2018) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7

Seigo Saeki
Ichiro Tokai?
Because I don't trust that man.
That man
betrayed my father.
What's the matter?
Nurse.
We're done here.
Please go check on the pharmaceuticals.
-But
-I'll take care of the rest.
Okay, I understand.
Soon after,
an event took place
that shook Tojo to its core.
Welcome to Teika University.
Thank you.
It happened after the surgery
of Dr. Tokai's mother was complete.
At Tojo University,
doctors performing surgery
on family members
is strictly prohibited.
As punishment,
a third of your pay will be cut.
That is my final decision.
One-third?
If you have something to say, speak up.
There is one thing I want to check.
I've received an offer
from Teika University
for the double of what you're paying me.
Teika University?
You're cutting my already low pay.
I have a life to live.
Professor?
It's up to Dr. Tokai.
Thank you for everything.
RESIGNATION LETTER
BY REQUEST, THE PERSON LISTED BELOW
WILL RESIGN
Throwing it all away for money?
And going to Teika University,
of all places?
Doesn't he have any morals as a doctor?
Seriously.
Dr. Tokai.
Take care of that for me.
I don't need this either.
Dr. Tokai left Tojo University
as if he were never here
in the first place.
It would appear that the man is obsessed
with money, just like you said.
He didn't bat an eye ditching Tojo
to join me here.
What do you plan to do with him?
You focus on your own job.
Got it
Dr. Takashina?
Taking a nap already? He just got here.
Why did Dr. Nishizaki bring him here?
Beats me.
Anyway, we've been ordered not to let him
do anything until after the election.
At the same time,
Mr. Tomizawa from the Ministry of Health
came to Tojo to promote
the Japan-made Darwin, Caesar.
Rumor has it, Dr. Saeki,
that you deliberately choose
the most difficult cases.
That's not my intention.
I would like you to focus
on lower-risk patients from now on.
I need you to perform
surgeries with a high success rate.
On that note,
I've heard that a patient
named Shoko Yamamoto
is currently being admitted.
AORTIC VALVE INSUFFICIENCY
Yes, we have indeed admitted
Shoko Yamamoto.
She may be the perfect case
for the Caesar.
This is Dr. Nishizaki's doing, I'm sure.
To speed up the clinical trials,
he has talked to Mr. Tomizawa
from the Ministry of Health.
But how did he get
our patient's information?
Someone told Dr. Nishizaki.
There is no other explanation.
I'm sure that Shoko Yamamoto
was Dr. Tokai's patient.
So Dr. Tokai did it?
When he was recruited by Teika University,
perhaps he took our data
as a parting gift.
Whatever the case, we must hurry.
Mr. Tomizawa's request is, in effect,
the request of the entire nation.
-That's right.
-If that's so,
I insist that you leave this one
to me, doctor.
This is a low-risk patient,
it doesn't matter who's in charge.
Make this a win for Tojo.
Thank you.
What is this about?
I'm supposed to be overseeing the Caesar.
You put the patient in danger
during the last clinical trial.
We didn't have enough blood transfusion.
This is the professor's order.
You'll assist me.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Saeki.
Oh. Sorry to call you so suddenly.
We would like to continue the trial.
I would be happy to cooperate.
-You take care of the rest.
-Yes.
Shoko Yamamoto.
She worked as a nurse
at a nearby hospital.
that will make it easier
to locate the veins.
Wow, you're right.
-Drawing blood is about speed and courage.
-I see.
Pardon me.
I've called in the clinical trial
coordinator I told you about.
I'll introduce her now.
Pardon me. My name is Kinoshita
What's the matter?
Pardon me.
Hey. What was that about?
Hey!
What about the explanation?
Did something happen
between you and Ms. Kinoshita?
Kaori and I used to work
at the same hospital.
-Here.
-Thank you.
During an operation,
Kaori was a scrub nurse,
passing equipment.
-Fix the circulation, hurry!
-Right.
-But
-Get the heart-lung machine.
-The heart has stopped.
-Administer bosmin. We'll need more blood.
Why did you give the removal tool?
We needed to pump in blood!
This is your fault!
She claimed her innocence,
but the surgeon refused
to admit his own mistake
and shifted the blame solely on Kaori.
As for me,
I was threatened to be fired
if I didn't tell my side of the story.
Operating nurse Ms. Kinoshita
mistakenly handed
the doctor the wrong tool.
She was made fully responsible
for the mistake
and was let go by the hospital.
Even though she was a wonderful nurse.
But there was no one
who would protect her.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
I would greatly consider
the clinical trial,
but could you put someone else in charge?
I heard what happened.
So you were a nurse.
At that time,
I even wished she would die.
Do as she wishes.
Put someone else on the job.
I didn't know she had a history like that.
Ms. Kinoshita and Dr. Tokai
were pretty close.
Maybe we can ask him about it.
But he's not here anymore.
-This will be a pain to clean up.
-Jeez.
Dr. Nishizaki, new data
will be arriving shortly.
We'll be verifying it here, yes.
Dr. Tokai.
How are you finding Teika University?
Who are you?
My name is Takeda.
Don't you remember me?
Try not to get too lost here.
What do you mean by "I need rest"?
You can't just
take three weeks off like that.
-I need a break.
-What is it?
Without Dr. Tokai here,
Nekota doesn't want to work.
Do your job.
That is an order.
Truly appalling, nurses these days.
If you won't follow orders,
you can leave just like Dr. Tokai.
Director, I will take care of this.
I assure you.
Isn't that right, Nekota?
I can't believe it.
I'm counting on you, head nurse.
Don't you think director Moriya
has been really on edge lately.
Running around between Dr. Saeki
and the Ministry of Health
Of course he's venting.
You can't blame him.
If you can't follow orders,
it's game over.
So you're telling me that Dr. Saeki
has been choosing high-risk patients
for clinical trials?
That's right.
After the newest medical tools were used,
he made sure to finish things
with his scalpel.
In other words,
trying to prove the ability
of a surgeon's skill over new technology.
The patient's safety must be made
a top priority in clinical trials.
You don't need to worry.
This time, we are backed by Mr. Tomizawa
from the Ministry of Health.
We've chosen a low-risk patient.
There will be no failure.
You've "chosen"?
Are you saying you have possession
of Tojo's patient data?
Well,
we have a few people on our side.
We've picked a doctor that Dr. Saeki
has been training in the shadows.
Thanks to this new development,
Tojo will no longer be able to handle
difficult operations successfully.
In two days, you'll undergo surgery
for mitral valve insufficiency.
All right. Excuse me, doctor?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes? Dr. Nishizaki. Just a moment.
-My neck has been killing me lately.
-Really?
-I can't really move it.
-Is that so?
I must have slept the wrong way.
It seems like something happened
in the past
between Dr. Tokai's dad and Dr. Saeki.
What?
I overheard something recently.
Because I don't trust that man.
That man betrayed my father.
-Betrayed?
-Yes.
That reminds me.
When I was transporting those documents,
I came across an old paper.
A paper?
Yes.
The authors were Dr. Saeki
and Ichiro Tokai.
So the betrayal must have been
There was one thing left over
from the documents we transported.
This brings me back.
I learned so much from Dr. Ichiro Tokai.
"A university hospital is established
on practical skills and research."
That's what he told me.
He sure put my arrogant self in my place.
But I threw all of that away.
PLEASE INSERT ID CARD
-What are you doing?
-This computer doesn't work.
-You need an ID card.
-Give me yours.
What?
I'm sorry, I can't.
There is important data on there.
I can't allow you to touch it.
Why, are you thinking of writing a paper?
A paper?
It looks like this super doctor
from Tojo University
has never written a paper before.
Online shopping.
What?
Your hospital doesn't have a rice cooker.
A rice cooker?
What are you doing?
Don't mess with that!
I'm making sure
the arm movement has improved.
I'll do it.
If you screw up this top-secret data too,
we'll be in trouble.
Are you suggesting
I would steal our patients' data?
I didn't say that.
How is it going
with the new clinical trial coordinator?
As a member of Tojo University Hospital,
I need you to stay on your toes.
One tiger prawn.
It seems like we've found
a replacement coordinator.
The patient wasn't pleased
with my presence.
Life is full of unexpected things.
Did you know about it?
About my malpractice.
If so, why did you continue
to trust me all this time?
I'm a trial coordinator
who caused a medical error.
If word were to get out,
Tojo risks losing its credibility.
No matter what happened in the past,
I trust what I see in front of me.
You're an excellent person.
That's why I keep you around.
The past is what you make of it.
The truth.
True pain.
It's not for others to understand.
-How's the Caesar operating?
-We're preparing meticulously.
-I'm counting on you.
-Right.
Please pass the ethics committee documents
to Dr. Takashina.
-Understood.
-Also
Make sure Ms. Yamamoto
is administered heparin and penicillin.
-Right.
-Okay.
But before, Dr. Tokai
didn't order a dose of penicillin.
It's Dr. Kurosaki's orders.
Let's get it over with.
I'll go see Ms. Yamamoto.
-You give the documents to Dr. Takashina.
-Okay.
Excuse me.
PENICILLIN
-It seems the next trial has been decided.
-Yes.
-I'll have you assist as well.
-Me?
That patient was being checked
by Dr. Tokai,
which means she's your patient too.
I've told Dr. Kurosaki.
But, I'm only a
During that last surgery,
you were able to follow
Dr. Tokai's orders instantly.
After seeing your performance,
I've decided I need you for this.
Thank you.
Dr. Takashina.
The ethics committee documents.
Thanks.
Did Ms. Yamamoto get her medicine?
Miyamoto is giving her
heparin and penicillin now.
What?
-Penicillin?
-Yes. Dr. Kurosaki's orders.
That's not good.
Ms. Yamamoto is allergic to penicillin.
-Dr. Sera.
-Right!
What are you doing?
Ms. Yamamoto, are you okay?
PENICILLIN
Thank God.
Excuse me.
-Forgive us!
-We're truly sorry.
-The truth is
-I can't believe it.
I never thought she would come to help me.
-She's allergic?
-You put the patient in danger.
What are you talking about?
Dr. Kurosaki would never do that!
He never gave you those orders.
You must have misheard what he said.
-But
-I'm very sorry.
Unbelievable.
If you can't do your job right,
you might as well just quit.
There are countless others
who could replace you.
Dr. Kurosaki. There's an important
clinical trial coming up.
-Yes.
-Well then. Dismissed!
-Why?
-Why what?
Nothing happened. Let it go.
After that,
a new clinical trial coordinator
was introduced.
This is our new coordinator, Mr. Yamauchi.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Dr. Yamauchi.
I'll be coordinating the medical trial.
Actually, can I have Kaori
do it after all?
I would like her to be in charge.
She did?
She said that if it's not you,
she doesn't intend
to participate in the trial.
You're the only one who can do it.
You wouldn't say no, would you?
Yes.
Yes, right. Okay.
How are you finding Teika University?
-What?
-I have a little something for you.
It's from Tokyo's oldest onigiri shop.
That's thoughtful of you.
I left all my rice back at Tojo too.
You're being treated
as a thief back at Tojo.
-What?
-The patients' data.
It seems you've given it to Dr. Nishizaki.
So, are you here to get
a checkup or something?
I'm here on business.
I do work for Teika too, you know.
You look like you should be a patient.
This can't be good.
It's Dr. Takeda's operation.
What happened?
-Blood pressure falling.
-Bring transfusion.
I guess food will have to wait.
Hurry up!
-VF persisting.
-Damn it.
VF won't stabilize.
What should we do?
The patient will die if we continue.
-We must stop operating.
-But
We're finished! Turn off the camera now.
Right.
What are you doing here?
You've got no business here. Get out!
The patient had a heart attack.
How did you
He said his neck hurt, didn't he?
If you had checked the coronary artery,
you would have known.
How do you plan on fixing it?
Isn't it written in your little paper?
What are you doing? Turn the camera off!
Don't. If you turn it off, you're dead.
You were about to end the operation
and be done with it, weren't you?
To make his death seem like
it happened after the surgery?
What's that?
What is Teika researching, a cover-up?
Someone get this man out of here!
If you have time to complain,
hurry and save the patient.
It's too late for that.
Ten million yen.
Write your resignation letter.
Pay me your severance money
and I'll cover it up.
What are you talking about?
-VF persisting.
-We don't have time!
Got it. I'll go tell your big boss then.
Okay, fine.
Help me.
Out of my way.
-We'll remove the inner artery.
-Thoracotomy tool.
-Thoracotomy tool!
-Right.
-Help me.
-Okay.
-Chair.
-Right.
Electroscalpel.
Prepare the following things for me.
Stabilizer, CO2 blower, holder,
beaver knife,
micro scissors,
microneedle holder, and 8-0.
-Move it!
-Yes.
-You remove the saphenous vein.
-Okay!
Internal mammary artery dissected.
He's fast.
All done.
Hurry up, will you?
-I'll take over. Move it.
-Right.
What an incredible skill.
So this is Tojo University's
devil of the operating room.
Get me the Metz.
Metz.
Okay. Suture complete.
-Finish up.
-Right!
Bad doctors are better off dead.
You can add that to your paper.
I thought the move
to Teika would help you mature a little.
-You're the same as always.
-If there's a patient, I help them.
That's all.
No matter where I go,
my job remains the same.
This is not enough.
This is all I was able to gather
in my current situation.
I'll leave it then.
But instead,
give me that.
Excuse me.
Once again,
I will be acting as coordinator
for the trial.
-My name is Kinoshita.
-I wanted to say
thank you.
-I
-First,
I would like to introduce
and explain the details of the trial.
With Ms. Yamamoto's permission,
the second clinical trial of the Caesar
was finally decided.
Ms. Kinoshita
Thank you for fixing the IV mistake.
Thank you so much.
So
Why did you decide to be
Ms. Yamamoto's trial coordinator?
If there's a patient
If there's a patient, I help them.
I help that person.
That's all
That is all.
Even if my job has changed
from nurse to coordinator,
my duties and obligations remain the same.
Dr. Tokai taught me that.
Dr. Tokai did?
I have to do my best work, no matter what.
But
Even the thought of wanting to help
is not enough to solve one problem.
People.
People?
For a patient,
and even for the doctors helping them,
the biggest enemy
is not sickness or disease.
A person's worst enemy
is other people.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
Ms. Yamamoto said the same thing.
Being in my low-level position,
there was nothing I could do.
She also said that she wishes
to accept the trial
in hopes that future patients
can be helped as well.
She wants to help other people, too.
Nekota.
I have a job for you.
The fateful day finally arrived.
Kaori.
I would like to talk to you
about something.
The doctors are waiting for you.
Please hurry.
If you would like to talk
I'll see you after your operation.
I hope the surgery goes well.
Thank you.
We'll now use
the Japan-made Darwin, Caesar,
to perform
aortic valve replacement surgery.
-Understood.
-Understood.
-You're saying this is a simple operation?
-That's right.
It will require delicate work, of course.
They'll have to suture the aorta.
It should be simple using the Caesar.
We can sit back and relax.
Blockage complete.
-I'll cut into the aorta.
-Okay.
The arms are moving
much smoother than before.
The improvements were a success.
This suturing was always troublesome,
but it's made to look so simple.
Complete.
Removing forceps.
What's her condition?
-Stable.
-Great.
Well done! A great success.
You all finish up.
-Good job.
-Great work.
Please wait!
Direct the ultrasound
to the left atrial appendage.
Okay.
-That's
-A blood clot is loose!
BLOOD CLO
A blood clot?
We didn't see it in the tests.
Dr. Takashina! We must remove it now!
Dr. Kurosaki!
Close up the patient for now.
Our planned operation was a success.
If you act brash and something happens
it will all be for nothing!
Do you understand me, Dr. Kurosaki?
We'll close up.
If we ignore this,
her life will be on the line!
If we act now, we can make it!
It wasn't part of the plan.
We must close her up!
That is what hospital logic would say!
But to a patient, it's betrayal!
I will operate.
-Help me.
-Okay.
-Dr. Sera, support me.
-Right!
We'll now extract
the left atrial appendage thrombus.
-All right.
-All right.
-Forceps, please.
-Right.
Dr. Kurosaki!
Dr. Kurosaki!
I'm the head surgeon here.
Don't touch her!
The thrombus doesn't matter right now.
That's right, Dr. Kurosaki!
You won't mind if I share
this conversation with the patient?
What are you saying?
The rules are meant to be changed.
We can't put a life on the line
just because of some petty rules!
Do what you want.
-Opening the left atrium.
-Right!
-Remove blood with the pump.
-Right.
Get 4-0 ready.
-Right.
-Spoon too.
Okay.
Here.
-Get me the ultrasound.
-What?
I'll do it. Please.
Can he do it?
-Take out the thrombus.
-Right.
Extraction complete.
Are you sure that's it?
Yes. That's it.
Thank goodness.
They managed to succeed
without any incident.
It's all good since it worked out
in the end.
But how dare you use
the intercom like that?
Forgive me.
Miyamoto, I'll finish up.
Nekota.
I'm already finished cleaning.
There's one more thing
we need to clean up.
Well, we did stray from the original plan,
but the operation was a success.
Mr. Tomizawa from the Ministry of Health
will be pleased.
We'll move on to the next trial at once.
-I'll leave it to you.
-As for the next trial
-Dr. Tokai?
-What are you doing here?
-Go back to Teika University.
-It was at Teika, actually
that I found these.
This is a list of our patients.
So it was leaked to Teika?
It wasn't me!
-It couldn't be anyone else!
-Unfortunately,
it was not Dr. Takashina here.
The ID of the person who accessed
the documents from Tojo's computer
is written there on the document.
The person who copied and stole the data
is that person.
Whose ID is this?
Excuse us.
We looked up the owner of the ID number
on the documents.
Ayumi Miyamoto.
AYUMI MIYAMOTO
It's her ID number.
What have you done?
You were connected to Teika?
What did they pay you?
Do you understand what you've done?
You've put us in quite a predicament!
Can you tell us what really happened?
I've seen that terrified face.
I saw it once before.
She mistakenly handed the doctor
the wrong tool.
Can you tell me what happened?
It's okay.
I will protect you.
I promise I will.
Your dad has lung cancer, I hear.
He's currently admitted to Tojo, too.
In the executive suite.
You can't afford that
with your meager salary.
Who put you on this? Huh?
As an exchange,
you were forced to copy the data.
What did you say?
Who was it?
Tell me.
Who was it?
No crying.
Hey.
Say it.
Who was it?
I see you're teaching them well,
Director Moriya.
Director?
What? Nonsense.
I don't know about this.
She stole the data herself!
After all that, putting the blame on me?
You're still running away
after all this time?
You're like a surgeon
who has abandoned an operation.
What a pitiful hospital director you are.
Lower than me. The lowest of low.
Where's your proof
that I have a hand in this?
Get a grip, old man.
SENT BY NOBUAKI MORIYA
This is the email you sent to Teika.
DIRECTOR NOBUAKI MORIYA
The patient data was attached
to the message.
There is a nice guy at Teika.
He was kind enough to lend me his ID card.
When I logged in
DR. NISHIZAKI, I'VE ATTACHED
A LIST OF ALL OUR PATIENTS.
TOJO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
DIRECTOR NOBUAKI MORIYA
I found your email.
Director Moriya.
There's a rumor going around
that Teika has a special position ready
for you after you retire.
Leaking patient data to a third party
for your own lousy gain.
This is a serious crime.
I doubt that offer will still stand
after this comes out.
Please wait, Dr. Saeki!
I'll do anything!
Please don't have me dismissed!
In that case,
I'll let it pass on one condition.
Anything at all!
You will accept the return of Dr. Tokai
from Teika University.
You're getting bored over there, I'm sure.
You'll double his pay.
Out of your own pocket.
Okay.
Dr. Tokai.
Um Thank you so much.
So you'll be coming back to Tojo?
-There's something I need to do.
-What?
Huh? Dr. Tokai. You're back?
Yes.
You know what that means, Dr. Sera.
I'm
so sorry.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
But
A person's best allies are people, too.
What?
When I was fired from being a nurse,
it really was painful.
But
I was able to find a new job that I love.
I took a different path,
but my goals remain the same.
We're in this together.
Very well.
I was planning on cutting Moriya off
eventually anyway.
Why didn't you contact me?
With this, Tojo won't be suspicious
of you anymore, will they?
Accelerate the trials
and get me that paper.
Right.
There is a possibility that Dr. Saeki
will stop the publication
as he did with the Snipe paper.
Don't worry. Measures are in place.
There's nothing Dr. Saeki can do about it.
Come in.
Excuse me.
If what you said the other day is true,
Dr. Saeki has significant issues
as a researcher.
I would like to ask his true intent.
Yes. Go right ahead.
All done!
After we cleaned all this up,
we had to put it back
What a struggle.
He thinks about nothing but money.
Do you think so?
Dr. Tokai said
he has something he needs to do at Tojo.
Something he needs to do?
Forceps.
I
I found a strange photo here recently.
A photo?
An X-ray.
Inside the heart
there was a pair of forceps.
What?
Why did Dr. Tokai have a photo like that?
The final operation before the election.
What's their name? Tell me!
I have to take down Dr. Seigo Saeki.
Dr. Nishizaki is operating at last.
Perhaps Dr. Tokai
is hoping for my failure.
We can't find Dr. Saeki anywhere.
Find out where he's going. Follow him.
There's a patient that Tojo
doesn't want anyone to know about.
In the end, it's people.
Man always prevails.
Dr. Saeki!
It finally happened?
Subtitle translation by:
Seigo Saeki
Ichiro Tokai?
Because I don't trust that man.
That man
betrayed my father.
What's the matter?
Nurse.
We're done here.
Please go check on the pharmaceuticals.
-But
-I'll take care of the rest.
Okay, I understand.
Soon after,
an event took place
that shook Tojo to its core.
Welcome to Teika University.
Thank you.
It happened after the surgery
of Dr. Tokai's mother was complete.
At Tojo University,
doctors performing surgery
on family members
is strictly prohibited.
As punishment,
a third of your pay will be cut.
That is my final decision.
One-third?
If you have something to say, speak up.
There is one thing I want to check.
I've received an offer
from Teika University
for the double of what you're paying me.
Teika University?
You're cutting my already low pay.
I have a life to live.
Professor?
It's up to Dr. Tokai.
Thank you for everything.
RESIGNATION LETTER
BY REQUEST, THE PERSON LISTED BELOW
WILL RESIGN
Throwing it all away for money?
And going to Teika University,
of all places?
Doesn't he have any morals as a doctor?
Seriously.
Dr. Tokai.
Take care of that for me.
I don't need this either.
Dr. Tokai left Tojo University
as if he were never here
in the first place.
It would appear that the man is obsessed
with money, just like you said.
He didn't bat an eye ditching Tojo
to join me here.
What do you plan to do with him?
You focus on your own job.
Got it
Dr. Takashina?
Taking a nap already? He just got here.
Why did Dr. Nishizaki bring him here?
Beats me.
Anyway, we've been ordered not to let him
do anything until after the election.
At the same time,
Mr. Tomizawa from the Ministry of Health
came to Tojo to promote
the Japan-made Darwin, Caesar.
Rumor has it, Dr. Saeki,
that you deliberately choose
the most difficult cases.
That's not my intention.
I would like you to focus
on lower-risk patients from now on.
I need you to perform
surgeries with a high success rate.
On that note,
I've heard that a patient
named Shoko Yamamoto
is currently being admitted.
AORTIC VALVE INSUFFICIENCY
Yes, we have indeed admitted
Shoko Yamamoto.
She may be the perfect case
for the Caesar.
This is Dr. Nishizaki's doing, I'm sure.
To speed up the clinical trials,
he has talked to Mr. Tomizawa
from the Ministry of Health.
But how did he get
our patient's information?
Someone told Dr. Nishizaki.
There is no other explanation.
I'm sure that Shoko Yamamoto
was Dr. Tokai's patient.
So Dr. Tokai did it?
When he was recruited by Teika University,
perhaps he took our data
as a parting gift.
Whatever the case, we must hurry.
Mr. Tomizawa's request is, in effect,
the request of the entire nation.
-That's right.
-If that's so,
I insist that you leave this one
to me, doctor.
This is a low-risk patient,
it doesn't matter who's in charge.
Make this a win for Tojo.
Thank you.
What is this about?
I'm supposed to be overseeing the Caesar.
You put the patient in danger
during the last clinical trial.
We didn't have enough blood transfusion.
This is the professor's order.
You'll assist me.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Saeki.
Oh. Sorry to call you so suddenly.
We would like to continue the trial.
I would be happy to cooperate.
-You take care of the rest.
-Yes.
Shoko Yamamoto.
She worked as a nurse
at a nearby hospital.
that will make it easier
to locate the veins.
Wow, you're right.
-Drawing blood is about speed and courage.
-I see.
Pardon me.
I've called in the clinical trial
coordinator I told you about.
I'll introduce her now.
Pardon me. My name is Kinoshita
What's the matter?
Pardon me.
Hey. What was that about?
Hey!
What about the explanation?
Did something happen
between you and Ms. Kinoshita?
Kaori and I used to work
at the same hospital.
-Here.
-Thank you.
During an operation,
Kaori was a scrub nurse,
passing equipment.
-Fix the circulation, hurry!
-Right.
-But
-Get the heart-lung machine.
-The heart has stopped.
-Administer bosmin. We'll need more blood.
Why did you give the removal tool?
We needed to pump in blood!
This is your fault!
She claimed her innocence,
but the surgeon refused
to admit his own mistake
and shifted the blame solely on Kaori.
As for me,
I was threatened to be fired
if I didn't tell my side of the story.
Operating nurse Ms. Kinoshita
mistakenly handed
the doctor the wrong tool.
She was made fully responsible
for the mistake
and was let go by the hospital.
Even though she was a wonderful nurse.
But there was no one
who would protect her.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
I would greatly consider
the clinical trial,
but could you put someone else in charge?
I heard what happened.
So you were a nurse.
At that time,
I even wished she would die.
Do as she wishes.
Put someone else on the job.
I didn't know she had a history like that.
Ms. Kinoshita and Dr. Tokai
were pretty close.
Maybe we can ask him about it.
But he's not here anymore.
-This will be a pain to clean up.
-Jeez.
Dr. Nishizaki, new data
will be arriving shortly.
We'll be verifying it here, yes.
Dr. Tokai.
How are you finding Teika University?
Who are you?
My name is Takeda.
Don't you remember me?
Try not to get too lost here.
What do you mean by "I need rest"?
You can't just
take three weeks off like that.
-I need a break.
-What is it?
Without Dr. Tokai here,
Nekota doesn't want to work.
Do your job.
That is an order.
Truly appalling, nurses these days.
If you won't follow orders,
you can leave just like Dr. Tokai.
Director, I will take care of this.
I assure you.
Isn't that right, Nekota?
I can't believe it.
I'm counting on you, head nurse.
Don't you think director Moriya
has been really on edge lately.
Running around between Dr. Saeki
and the Ministry of Health
Of course he's venting.
You can't blame him.
If you can't follow orders,
it's game over.
So you're telling me that Dr. Saeki
has been choosing high-risk patients
for clinical trials?
That's right.
After the newest medical tools were used,
he made sure to finish things
with his scalpel.
In other words,
trying to prove the ability
of a surgeon's skill over new technology.
The patient's safety must be made
a top priority in clinical trials.
You don't need to worry.
This time, we are backed by Mr. Tomizawa
from the Ministry of Health.
We've chosen a low-risk patient.
There will be no failure.
You've "chosen"?
Are you saying you have possession
of Tojo's patient data?
Well,
we have a few people on our side.
We've picked a doctor that Dr. Saeki
has been training in the shadows.
Thanks to this new development,
Tojo will no longer be able to handle
difficult operations successfully.
In two days, you'll undergo surgery
for mitral valve insufficiency.
All right. Excuse me, doctor?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes? Dr. Nishizaki. Just a moment.
-My neck has been killing me lately.
-Really?
-I can't really move it.
-Is that so?
I must have slept the wrong way.
It seems like something happened
in the past
between Dr. Tokai's dad and Dr. Saeki.
What?
I overheard something recently.
Because I don't trust that man.
That man betrayed my father.
-Betrayed?
-Yes.
That reminds me.
When I was transporting those documents,
I came across an old paper.
A paper?
Yes.
The authors were Dr. Saeki
and Ichiro Tokai.
So the betrayal must have been
There was one thing left over
from the documents we transported.
This brings me back.
I learned so much from Dr. Ichiro Tokai.
"A university hospital is established
on practical skills and research."
That's what he told me.
He sure put my arrogant self in my place.
But I threw all of that away.
PLEASE INSERT ID CARD
-What are you doing?
-This computer doesn't work.
-You need an ID card.
-Give me yours.
What?
I'm sorry, I can't.
There is important data on there.
I can't allow you to touch it.
Why, are you thinking of writing a paper?
A paper?
It looks like this super doctor
from Tojo University
has never written a paper before.
Online shopping.
What?
Your hospital doesn't have a rice cooker.
A rice cooker?
What are you doing?
Don't mess with that!
I'm making sure
the arm movement has improved.
I'll do it.
If you screw up this top-secret data too,
we'll be in trouble.
Are you suggesting
I would steal our patients' data?
I didn't say that.
How is it going
with the new clinical trial coordinator?
As a member of Tojo University Hospital,
I need you to stay on your toes.
One tiger prawn.
It seems like we've found
a replacement coordinator.
The patient wasn't pleased
with my presence.
Life is full of unexpected things.
Did you know about it?
About my malpractice.
If so, why did you continue
to trust me all this time?
I'm a trial coordinator
who caused a medical error.
If word were to get out,
Tojo risks losing its credibility.
No matter what happened in the past,
I trust what I see in front of me.
You're an excellent person.
That's why I keep you around.
The past is what you make of it.
The truth.
True pain.
It's not for others to understand.
-How's the Caesar operating?
-We're preparing meticulously.
-I'm counting on you.
-Right.
Please pass the ethics committee documents
to Dr. Takashina.
-Understood.
-Also
Make sure Ms. Yamamoto
is administered heparin and penicillin.
-Right.
-Okay.
But before, Dr. Tokai
didn't order a dose of penicillin.
It's Dr. Kurosaki's orders.
Let's get it over with.
I'll go see Ms. Yamamoto.
-You give the documents to Dr. Takashina.
-Okay.
Excuse me.
PENICILLIN
-It seems the next trial has been decided.
-Yes.
-I'll have you assist as well.
-Me?
That patient was being checked
by Dr. Tokai,
which means she's your patient too.
I've told Dr. Kurosaki.
But, I'm only a
During that last surgery,
you were able to follow
Dr. Tokai's orders instantly.
After seeing your performance,
I've decided I need you for this.
Thank you.
Dr. Takashina.
The ethics committee documents.
Thanks.
Did Ms. Yamamoto get her medicine?
Miyamoto is giving her
heparin and penicillin now.
What?
-Penicillin?
-Yes. Dr. Kurosaki's orders.
That's not good.
Ms. Yamamoto is allergic to penicillin.
-Dr. Sera.
-Right!
What are you doing?
Ms. Yamamoto, are you okay?
PENICILLIN
Thank God.
Excuse me.
-Forgive us!
-We're truly sorry.
-The truth is
-I can't believe it.
I never thought she would come to help me.
-She's allergic?
-You put the patient in danger.
What are you talking about?
Dr. Kurosaki would never do that!
He never gave you those orders.
You must have misheard what he said.
-But
-I'm very sorry.
Unbelievable.
If you can't do your job right,
you might as well just quit.
There are countless others
who could replace you.
Dr. Kurosaki. There's an important
clinical trial coming up.
-Yes.
-Well then. Dismissed!
-Why?
-Why what?
Nothing happened. Let it go.
After that,
a new clinical trial coordinator
was introduced.
This is our new coordinator, Mr. Yamauchi.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Dr. Yamauchi.
I'll be coordinating the medical trial.
Actually, can I have Kaori
do it after all?
I would like her to be in charge.
She did?
She said that if it's not you,
she doesn't intend
to participate in the trial.
You're the only one who can do it.
You wouldn't say no, would you?
Yes.
Yes, right. Okay.
How are you finding Teika University?
-What?
-I have a little something for you.
It's from Tokyo's oldest onigiri shop.
That's thoughtful of you.
I left all my rice back at Tojo too.
You're being treated
as a thief back at Tojo.
-What?
-The patients' data.
It seems you've given it to Dr. Nishizaki.
So, are you here to get
a checkup or something?
I'm here on business.
I do work for Teika too, you know.
You look like you should be a patient.
This can't be good.
It's Dr. Takeda's operation.
What happened?
-Blood pressure falling.
-Bring transfusion.
I guess food will have to wait.
Hurry up!
-VF persisting.
-Damn it.
VF won't stabilize.
What should we do?
The patient will die if we continue.
-We must stop operating.
-But
We're finished! Turn off the camera now.
Right.
What are you doing here?
You've got no business here. Get out!
The patient had a heart attack.
How did you
He said his neck hurt, didn't he?
If you had checked the coronary artery,
you would have known.
How do you plan on fixing it?
Isn't it written in your little paper?
What are you doing? Turn the camera off!
Don't. If you turn it off, you're dead.
You were about to end the operation
and be done with it, weren't you?
To make his death seem like
it happened after the surgery?
What's that?
What is Teika researching, a cover-up?
Someone get this man out of here!
If you have time to complain,
hurry and save the patient.
It's too late for that.
Ten million yen.
Write your resignation letter.
Pay me your severance money
and I'll cover it up.
What are you talking about?
-VF persisting.
-We don't have time!
Got it. I'll go tell your big boss then.
Okay, fine.
Help me.
Out of my way.
-We'll remove the inner artery.
-Thoracotomy tool.
-Thoracotomy tool!
-Right.
-Help me.
-Okay.
-Chair.
-Right.
Electroscalpel.
Prepare the following things for me.
Stabilizer, CO2 blower, holder,
beaver knife,
micro scissors,
microneedle holder, and 8-0.
-Move it!
-Yes.
-You remove the saphenous vein.
-Okay!
Internal mammary artery dissected.
He's fast.
All done.
Hurry up, will you?
-I'll take over. Move it.
-Right.
What an incredible skill.
So this is Tojo University's
devil of the operating room.
Get me the Metz.
Metz.
Okay. Suture complete.
-Finish up.
-Right!
Bad doctors are better off dead.
You can add that to your paper.
I thought the move
to Teika would help you mature a little.
-You're the same as always.
-If there's a patient, I help them.
That's all.
No matter where I go,
my job remains the same.
This is not enough.
This is all I was able to gather
in my current situation.
I'll leave it then.
But instead,
give me that.
Excuse me.
Once again,
I will be acting as coordinator
for the trial.
-My name is Kinoshita.
-I wanted to say
thank you.
-I
-First,
I would like to introduce
and explain the details of the trial.
With Ms. Yamamoto's permission,
the second clinical trial of the Caesar
was finally decided.
Ms. Kinoshita
Thank you for fixing the IV mistake.
Thank you so much.
So
Why did you decide to be
Ms. Yamamoto's trial coordinator?
If there's a patient
If there's a patient, I help them.
I help that person.
That's all
That is all.
Even if my job has changed
from nurse to coordinator,
my duties and obligations remain the same.
Dr. Tokai taught me that.
Dr. Tokai did?
I have to do my best work, no matter what.
But
Even the thought of wanting to help
is not enough to solve one problem.
People.
People?
For a patient,
and even for the doctors helping them,
the biggest enemy
is not sickness or disease.
A person's worst enemy
is other people.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
Ms. Yamamoto said the same thing.
Being in my low-level position,
there was nothing I could do.
She also said that she wishes
to accept the trial
in hopes that future patients
can be helped as well.
She wants to help other people, too.
Nekota.
I have a job for you.
The fateful day finally arrived.
Kaori.
I would like to talk to you
about something.
The doctors are waiting for you.
Please hurry.
If you would like to talk
I'll see you after your operation.
I hope the surgery goes well.
Thank you.
We'll now use
the Japan-made Darwin, Caesar,
to perform
aortic valve replacement surgery.
-Understood.
-Understood.
-You're saying this is a simple operation?
-That's right.
It will require delicate work, of course.
They'll have to suture the aorta.
It should be simple using the Caesar.
We can sit back and relax.
Blockage complete.
-I'll cut into the aorta.
-Okay.
The arms are moving
much smoother than before.
The improvements were a success.
This suturing was always troublesome,
but it's made to look so simple.
Complete.
Removing forceps.
What's her condition?
-Stable.
-Great.
Well done! A great success.
You all finish up.
-Good job.
-Great work.
Please wait!
Direct the ultrasound
to the left atrial appendage.
Okay.
-That's
-A blood clot is loose!
BLOOD CLO
A blood clot?
We didn't see it in the tests.
Dr. Takashina! We must remove it now!
Dr. Kurosaki!
Close up the patient for now.
Our planned operation was a success.
If you act brash and something happens
it will all be for nothing!
Do you understand me, Dr. Kurosaki?
We'll close up.
If we ignore this,
her life will be on the line!
If we act now, we can make it!
It wasn't part of the plan.
We must close her up!
That is what hospital logic would say!
But to a patient, it's betrayal!
I will operate.
-Help me.
-Okay.
-Dr. Sera, support me.
-Right!
We'll now extract
the left atrial appendage thrombus.
-All right.
-All right.
-Forceps, please.
-Right.
Dr. Kurosaki!
Dr. Kurosaki!
I'm the head surgeon here.
Don't touch her!
The thrombus doesn't matter right now.
That's right, Dr. Kurosaki!
You won't mind if I share
this conversation with the patient?
What are you saying?
The rules are meant to be changed.
We can't put a life on the line
just because of some petty rules!
Do what you want.
-Opening the left atrium.
-Right!
-Remove blood with the pump.
-Right.
Get 4-0 ready.
-Right.
-Spoon too.
Okay.
Here.
-Get me the ultrasound.
-What?
I'll do it. Please.
Can he do it?
-Take out the thrombus.
-Right.
Extraction complete.
Are you sure that's it?
Yes. That's it.
Thank goodness.
They managed to succeed
without any incident.
It's all good since it worked out
in the end.
But how dare you use
the intercom like that?
Forgive me.
Miyamoto, I'll finish up.
Nekota.
I'm already finished cleaning.
There's one more thing
we need to clean up.
Well, we did stray from the original plan,
but the operation was a success.
Mr. Tomizawa from the Ministry of Health
will be pleased.
We'll move on to the next trial at once.
-I'll leave it to you.
-As for the next trial
-Dr. Tokai?
-What are you doing here?
-Go back to Teika University.
-It was at Teika, actually
that I found these.
This is a list of our patients.
So it was leaked to Teika?
It wasn't me!
-It couldn't be anyone else!
-Unfortunately,
it was not Dr. Takashina here.
The ID of the person who accessed
the documents from Tojo's computer
is written there on the document.
The person who copied and stole the data
is that person.
Whose ID is this?
Excuse us.
We looked up the owner of the ID number
on the documents.
Ayumi Miyamoto.
AYUMI MIYAMOTO
It's her ID number.
What have you done?
You were connected to Teika?
What did they pay you?
Do you understand what you've done?
You've put us in quite a predicament!
Can you tell us what really happened?
I've seen that terrified face.
I saw it once before.
She mistakenly handed the doctor
the wrong tool.
Can you tell me what happened?
It's okay.
I will protect you.
I promise I will.
Your dad has lung cancer, I hear.
He's currently admitted to Tojo, too.
In the executive suite.
You can't afford that
with your meager salary.
Who put you on this? Huh?
As an exchange,
you were forced to copy the data.
What did you say?
Who was it?
Tell me.
Who was it?
No crying.
Hey.
Say it.
Who was it?
I see you're teaching them well,
Director Moriya.
Director?
What? Nonsense.
I don't know about this.
She stole the data herself!
After all that, putting the blame on me?
You're still running away
after all this time?
You're like a surgeon
who has abandoned an operation.
What a pitiful hospital director you are.
Lower than me. The lowest of low.
Where's your proof
that I have a hand in this?
Get a grip, old man.
SENT BY NOBUAKI MORIYA
This is the email you sent to Teika.
DIRECTOR NOBUAKI MORIYA
The patient data was attached
to the message.
There is a nice guy at Teika.
He was kind enough to lend me his ID card.
When I logged in
DR. NISHIZAKI, I'VE ATTACHED
A LIST OF ALL OUR PATIENTS.
TOJO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
DIRECTOR NOBUAKI MORIYA
I found your email.
Director Moriya.
There's a rumor going around
that Teika has a special position ready
for you after you retire.
Leaking patient data to a third party
for your own lousy gain.
This is a serious crime.
I doubt that offer will still stand
after this comes out.
Please wait, Dr. Saeki!
I'll do anything!
Please don't have me dismissed!
In that case,
I'll let it pass on one condition.
Anything at all!
You will accept the return of Dr. Tokai
from Teika University.
You're getting bored over there, I'm sure.
You'll double his pay.
Out of your own pocket.
Okay.
Dr. Tokai.
Um Thank you so much.
So you'll be coming back to Tojo?
-There's something I need to do.
-What?
Huh? Dr. Tokai. You're back?
Yes.
You know what that means, Dr. Sera.
I'm
so sorry.
A person's greatest enemy is other people.
But
A person's best allies are people, too.
What?
When I was fired from being a nurse,
it really was painful.
But
I was able to find a new job that I love.
I took a different path,
but my goals remain the same.
We're in this together.
Very well.
I was planning on cutting Moriya off
eventually anyway.
Why didn't you contact me?
With this, Tojo won't be suspicious
of you anymore, will they?
Accelerate the trials
and get me that paper.
Right.
There is a possibility that Dr. Saeki
will stop the publication
as he did with the Snipe paper.
Don't worry. Measures are in place.
There's nothing Dr. Saeki can do about it.
Come in.
Excuse me.
If what you said the other day is true,
Dr. Saeki has significant issues
as a researcher.
I would like to ask his true intent.
Yes. Go right ahead.
All done!
After we cleaned all this up,
we had to put it back
What a struggle.
He thinks about nothing but money.
Do you think so?
Dr. Tokai said
he has something he needs to do at Tojo.
Something he needs to do?
Forceps.
I
I found a strange photo here recently.
A photo?
An X-ray.
Inside the heart
there was a pair of forceps.
What?
Why did Dr. Tokai have a photo like that?
The final operation before the election.
What's their name? Tell me!
I have to take down Dr. Seigo Saeki.
Dr. Nishizaki is operating at last.
Perhaps Dr. Tokai
is hoping for my failure.
We can't find Dr. Saeki anywhere.
Find out where he's going. Follow him.
There's a patient that Tojo
doesn't want anyone to know about.
In the end, it's people.
Man always prevails.
Dr. Saeki!
It finally happened?
