Black Pean (2018) s01e08 Episode Script

1
Right this way.
They're here.
Dr. Nishizaki.
Welcome to Tojo University Hospital.
Thank you for
your warm welcome, Dr. Saeki.
We look forward to working with you
in the coming weeks
and we appreciate your cooperation.
The pleasure is all mine.
Let's work together
and ensure a smooth operation.
Two universities
with zero interest in cooperating.
Why did this happen in the first place?
Just one week prior
ONE WEEK EARLIER
Japan Surgical Journal
editor-in-chief Mr. Ikenaga
paid us a visit along with Dr. Nishizaki.
A reveal event for the Caesar?
As I'm sure you've heard,
the next Surgical Society summit
will be hosted by Teika University.
As the centerpiece
of our research announcement,
I would like to reveal the final operation
of the Caesar's clinical trial.
However, the Caesar
is currently at Tojo University.
Even if you wish to reveal it
The operation will be performed at Tojo
and broadcast live to the event venue
at Teika University.
The Japan-made Darwin is receiving
attention from around the world.
We at the Japan Surgical Journal
would be thrilled
to report on this operation.
I see. That would be
quite a large-scale experiment.
Very well. You have my blessing.
I'm glad to hear it.
The operating surgeon will be
Dr. Takashina or Dr. Kurosaki.
I would personally like to entrust
the operation to Dr. Sakaguchi
who is leading the Caesar research
at Teika University.
I would like Teika University
to spearhead this operation.
What do you think, Dr. Saeki?
Very well.
-Well then.
-In that case,
I would like you to operate,
Dr. Nishizaki.
Me?
This is a monumental operation
that will mark the completion
of the Caesar.
The operation should be done
by the man leading that research.
That man is you, Dr. Nishizaki.
If that sounds too difficult for you,
then I would like to ask
one of my own men at Tojo, as usual.
Understood.
Let's do it.
Dr. Nishizaki is operating at last.
This is exciting.
Yes, it sure is.
Dr. Saeki waited until the last second
to deliver the blow.
It might be for the best.
If you complete the operation,
it could greatly benefit
you in the election.
It would virtually guarantee your victory.
That is true.
I look forward to the day of the surgery.
I'll see you off.
But if we fail,
it will all be for nothing.
We'll now perform on-pump,
on-beat mitral valve surgery.
-Let's begin.
-Yes, sir.
For better or for worse,
this operation will decide everything.
That's why, for Teika's good name,
I will ensure a successful operation.
Right.
Thus ends the age of the scalpel.
-Scalpel.
-Here.
-Metz.
-Here.
-Dr. Saeki is really amazing.
-The professor is great,
but Nurse Fujiwara keeping up
is incredible too.
They've been working together
for over 20 years.
-That long?
-They're closer than a married couple.
We'll remove the valve tip. Scalpel.
Here.
What?
I'm sorry, it was my mistake.
I was late preparing the instruments.
Please forgive me.
-Continue the procedure.
-Okay.
Scalpel.
-Metz.
-Here.
So it was the nurse's fault? What a joke.
I would have preferred
to see Dr. Saeki mess up himself.
It was a close call,
but it seems like they're okay.
Did the head nurse really make a mistake?
-What?
-I guess not.
The problem is the patient.
Takashina, do you understand
why I sent you to infiltrate Tojo?
Well?
Yes.
I will find a patient with mild issues
to ensure there is a low risk of failure.
Someone perfect for our big reveal.
I'm counting on you.
Soon after,
details of the Caesar reveal event
were shared with everyone.
The operating team will include
members from Tojo.
Any volunteers?
-We'd be just assistants, right?
-Exactly.
This operation
is for Teika's sake, isn't it?
Why do we have to help our enemy?
It's a done deal.
I'll join the team.
I have the most experience
doing surgeries with the Caesar.
All right then. Thank you.
Anyone else?
-You have experience, don't you Dr. Sera?
-No, they don't need me.
Then I'll do it.
Dr. Tokai
You too.
Huh?
What is this about?
I'll be joining the Caesar team.
Five days before the Caesar reveal event,
the Teika team arrived at Tojo
for preparations.
Let's get started with the preparations
at once.
Right.
Please use our facilities freely
until the day of the surgery.
-Show them around.
-Right. This way, please.
Please excuse me for a moment.
Wait, what about Teika?
Let them do whatever they want.
-Hey, that's my desk!
-What are you doing?
We were given permission
to use this room as we please.
Where are we supposed to work?
You're free to work over there.
It's so cramped!
Look at that. It's the simulation Caesar.
If they have all those things,
they should have lent it to us
in the first place!
Dr. Sakaguchi.
Yes.
We'll be holding a meeting.
I would like you all to leave.
What?
Thank you for your cooperation.
What the hell is going on?
This is our office.
The professor gave them permission.
Yeah, but this is taking it too far.
Regarding the crucial element,
our patient
Tojo University has selected
three candidates for us to choose from.
All three of them are severe cases.
As expected, they've chosen
difficult candidates on purpose.
We will choose a candidate
after we have finished examining each one.
Dr. Nishizaki will be operating.
Dr. Takashina and I will be assisting.
-As far as the rest of the team
-You take forever.
Dr. Nishizaki. You plan on making
this operation a success, right?
-Of course, I do.
-In that case, your assistant
Dr. Tokai, please. Excuse me.
Me and this guy. We don't need
anyone else getting in our way.
Any patient is fine by me.
You'll be fine if I'm there.
It will succeed no matter who operates.
Lucky for you.
Dr. Nishizaki.
What's that?
There's one more person
I've asked to help.
I'm Nekota. An operating nurse.
Congratulations.
Chairman Nishizaki.
Nekota is on the team too?
Dr. Tokai seems to be
taking things seriously this time.
Still,
up until now, he never showed any interest
in the newest equipment.
You're right.
Why is Dr. Tokai acting
like he wants to help Teika?
Of course, the patient's life
is our top priority.
We're hoping for a successful operation.
But there's also the election.
Perhaps Dr. Tokai
is hoping for my failure.
That could be said as well.
Whatever it may be,
there's no one else we can rely on.
I'll be back.
What about the medical safety meeting?
Do it without me.
The doctor has been out a lot recently.
Without him here,
there's no stopping Teika.
They'll take over completely.
After that,
simulations of the operation
were held leading up to the big day.
-Okay, follow me.
-Right.
How many times has he used the Caesar?
It's his first time touching it.
Artificial valve ring placement complete.
-4-0, please.
-Right.
Okay, Great Doctor.
You're up.
Right.
Complete.
A job well done, as is to be expected.
Well. You too.
And you as well.
You have quite the skills.
You too, Great Doctor.
Let's repeat this success
during the real surgery as well.
This is Teika's big reveal event.
Will you just stand there
sucking your thumbs?
Get me the exam data
of the three candidate patients.
Yes!
You're being quite cooperative this time.
You had us good last time.
What were you unhappy about?
You didn't have a good rice cooker.
That reminds me.
When you left Teika,
a man from our hospital
named Dr. Takeda left as well.
I'll leave it then.
But instead, give me that.
We found traces of someone
using his ID card
to access Teika's main computer system.
What confuses me
is the nature of the access.
Out of the more than 100
nationwide hospitals connected to Teika,
they were searching
for one particular patient.
I-I-N
The name Tatsuji Iinuma was searched.
Tatsuji Iinuma?
However, the search returned zero results.
Unfortunately, that patient doesn't seem
to be in any of our hospitals.
Why were you searching for that patient?
It must have been that Dr. Takeda guy.
What is it you're planning this time?
If this operation succeeds,
I will without a doubt
win the chairman election.
That means that your mentor,
Dr. Saeki, will lose.
That's why I'm trying to help you, right?
Let's get this done together, okay?
Great Doctor Nishizaki.
At the same time,
a new patient named Ryuichi Kobayashi
was admitted suddenly,
jumping ahead of a long line of patients
waiting for an operation from Dr. Saeki.
I'm honored to have Dr. Saeki
as my operating surgeon.
Dr. Tokai will be taking care of you
until next week's operation.
He's a man I trust.
That's very reassuring.
-I'm going out for a bit.
-I see.
Pardon me.
Dr. Saeki hasn't been
around here much lately.
Maybe he's just sick of work
and playing hooky.
What are you saying?
Of course, that's not it.
Don't you think it's odd he's not here?
Track him down.
What?
Find out where he's going.
Follow him.
Are you going today as well?
Please let me go with you.
I'll be fine by myself.
Or are you worried about something?
No.
Are you sure it's a good idea
to be tailing him?
No, but Dr. Tokai told me to do it.
He thinks Dr. Saeki
is skipping out on work.
I want to prove that's not true.
-Thanks for coming with me.
-Well
I just finished my shift so it's fine.
But I don't think I'll be of much help.
That's not true.
I need another witness.
And it's shady if I do it alone.
With the two of us, we can say
we're on a date or something.
-A date?
-What?
No, not like that. It's just an excuse.
-An excuse?
-That's right.
I see.
I mean
I it doesn't have to be an excuse
Dr. Sera!
Oh, no.
What? We lost sight of him.
-You wasted time saying weird stuff!
-Sorry.
I can't do it.
Dr. Tokai has got me in a funk.
Can't we take him off the team?
Take Dr. Tokai off the team?
I'm the surgeon in charge.
He is just an assistant,
but I can't let him take my glory.
There's one other problem.
Aren't there any other candidate patients?
I've been searching for a low-risk case,
but I haven't had much luck.
They're all too risky.
They were all scheduled
to be operated on by Dr. Saeki.
He's trying to make me fail
with a high-risk case.
His oldest trick in the book.
Dr. Tokai joining the team
is likely a ploy to prevent me
from succeeding as well.
-I don't think he would
-You know what's at stake, Dr. Takashina.
If we fail,
you'll lose your place at Teika.
Find me a patient.
And while you're at it,
find a way to get rid of Dr. Tokai.
Show me your worth.
Get it done.
Where's Dr. Sera today?
On a date.
What?
What about you? Are you sure you're okay?
Neglecting the Caesar.
I would like to talk with you
since we're both on the team.
Is the great Dr. Nishizaki telling you
to kick me out?
You always obey your superiors.
It's to ensure the proliferation
of the Snipe and Caesar.
It is what I believe in.
Up until now,
you never showed any interest
in new technology, until now.
What has changed?
I don't like robots but this time,
there's someone I dislike even more.
Are you talking about Dr. Saeki?
I'll cooperate this time.
And yet up till now you've always
done as he said. Why?
I don't understand what you believe in.
I don't believe in anything.
The only thing I believe in is myself.
Dr. Tokai.
-Kobayashi's exam results are here.
-Thanks.
Move it.
This is
Sakura Hospital.
SAKURA HOSPITAL
I see. About Kobayashi?
It wasn't mentioned in the handover,
but what kind of patient is he?
A special case brought in by Dr. Saeki.
It's top secret, so be careful.
Mitral valve insufficiency disorder?
It's a light case.
He could be perfect for the Caesar trial.
He's scheduled for surgery by Dr. Saeki.
We already have three candidates
for the trial.
Well, well. Dr. Saeki.
-Mind if I drop by?
-Not at all.
Let's go to the examination room.
Did he just say examination room?
Yes. Maybe he's not feeling well.
Scalpel.
It's almost operation day.
Still no other optional patients?
There is one patient named Kobayashi.
He has been scheduled
for surgery with Dr. Saeki.
-Then we'll take the patient from him.
-But
If we can use that patient,
I can prove that the Caesar
is far more effective
than Dr. Saeki's black forceps.
If it's a low-risk patient,
we won't need that Dr. Tokai either.
Dr. Takashina.
Show your worth.
Got it? Your worth.
So where did he go?
To Sakura Hospital.
It seemed like he was there
for an examination.
-Sakura Hospital?
-Yes.
So
About his last operation,
I thought I saw him tremble for a moment.
Do you think he might be ill?
It's his heart.
His heart?
-Dr. Takashina.
-Hello.
About Dr. Saeki
Is that true?
Great Doctor Nishizaki would be happy
to hear about it.
Yes.
He will.
So go tell him.
-Dr. Saeki has heart problems?
-That's what Dr. Tokai said.
Didn't you say you saw an X-ray photo
with a pair of forceps inside a heart?
I did.
What if that X-ray
was of Dr. Saeki?
I'll find an opportunity to look
for that X-ray.
Could you try finding the data for me?
Sure, I can try.
SAEKI
-Yes?
-Did you find it, Dr. Sera?
I can't find it anywhere. You?
I tried searching Dr. Saeki's name.
There's no X-ray and no trace
of any information at all.
Not even a check-up?
-I'll keep looking.
-Okay.
The name Tatsuji Iinuma was searched.
Wait a second.
Yes?
Would you mind looking up Tatsuji Iinuma?
Tatsuji Iinuma?
Yes, just in case.
Got it. I'll call you back later.
NO RESULTS FOR "SEIGO SAEKI"
TATSUJI IINUMA
Nekota.
What are you doing here?
Um, you're always sleeping
in Dr. Tokai's room, right?
Did you ever come across an X-ray photo?
In the photo, there is
-a pair of forceps
-What is this about?
Miwa.
I don't know what you're looking for.
But if you get in Dr. Tokai's way,
you'll be crushed.
Great. These all seem like
good candidates.
Yes.
Whoever is chosen,
you'll be able to operate
in ideal conditions.
Got it.
Anything else?
Do you think he might be ill?
It's his heart.
-No.
-Very well.
Let's figure out
which patient we'll choose.
Please stay on top of it.
Right.
A case of a doctor
neglecting his own health?
A cardiac surgeon with a bad heart.
How ironic.
What are you talking about?
By the way, I've been wondering
about this Kobayashi, a new patient.
While he does need surgery,
it doesn't seem very urgent.
A light case.
And yet he was suddenly admitted.
Playing favorites, are you?
It's a favor for a friend.
Another thing,
how is the Caesar operation going?
They've decided on a patient named Kudo.
I will be there as well,
so I'm sure it'll succeed.
That means that I'll lose
the election for chairman.
I don't care. Don't hold back.
Give it your best.
But remember this, Tokai
No matter how great the Caesar may be,
in the end, it's people.
Man always prevails.
The fateful day finally arrived.
Why didn't you tell Dr. Nishizaki
about Dr. Saeki?
I'll tell him when the operation
is complete.
No matter where we all stand,
we must think of the patient.
Having Dr. Tokai on the team
is our best option.
It's a decision
based on what I believe in.
What you believe in?
TEIKA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
The wonder of the Japan-made Darwin
will finally be revealed to all of Japan.
Indeed.
I hear there will be a welcome message
from Dr. Saeki during the broadcast.
-That's right.
-I'm looking forward to it.
Certainly.
Please excuse me.
We're about to start. What is it?
We have a problem.
We can't find Dr. Saeki anywhere.
-What?
-No one has heard from him since morning.
He's supposed to give a greeting
before the operation.
If he doesn't show up,
it will leave a bad impression
on the board members.
There's another thing.
We kindly ask that you wait
in the family waiting room
until the operation is complete.
We'll keep you updated.
-Thank you.
-Please excuse me.
Well, well. Dr. Saeki.
Why is the director from Sakura here?
He's that Kobayashi's dad.
Well, well.
Thank you for caring for my son.
Our pleasure.
Today is the day.
I'm counting on you to help my son.
Today?
Didn't you hear?
For today's joint operation with Teika,
they've chosen Kobayashi.
What?
But why?
-Hey! What's going on?
-That's what we want to know.
Dr. Kurosaki told us.
He said that he showed you
the patient's chart before.
You were kicked out of Teika,
but you've been
working with Dr. Nishizaki all along?
That's dirty.
The patient was scheduled with Dr. Saeki.
To snatch that away is
-You're wrong! I did no such thing!
-Then who did?
Me.
Dr. Tokai
I received a request
from Dr. Tokai this morning.
I've explained the trial to Mr. Kobayashi
and received his approval.
Why did you do this?
We're starting the preparations!
Please hurry!
Hear that?
-Hey.
-Camera.
To our audience at Teika University.
Today, I am honored to present to you
the surgery that will mark the completion
of the domestically produced Darwin
known as Caesar.
We had originally planned for Dr. Saeki
to make an appearance this morning,
but his whereabouts are currently unknown.
It would seem the doctor has been dealing
with serious heart problems.
His heart?
The board members are watching.
He shouldn't say that!
Today's patient was originally scheduled
for surgery with Dr. Saeki.
But the doctor is in no shape to operate.
Instead,
for the patient's safety,
it was decided to change
to surgery performed by the Caesar.
That explains everything
about the current situation.
I'm worried about Dr. Saeki,
but for the patient's sake,
I'm glad we have the Caesar.
This patient's surgery
was carefully rehearsed and simulated
by Teika University's brilliant staff.
I would like to perform today's operation
with the same staff.
Which means
we'll be asking you all to leave.
Dr. Tokai. Thank you
for the helpful information.
But that is a different matter
from this surgery.
What are you doing?
-You too. Out.
-What?
This is Teika University's surgery.
Performed by doctors from Teika.
It's none of Tojo University's business.
That means you, too.
And so, once again,
we will now perform
mitral valve repair surgery
with the Japan-made Darwin, Caesar.
Now it's entirely
a Teika University surgery!
As if they are solely responsible
for the Caesar's success.
It's a fact that Teika completed it!
How dare you!
Stealing our patient and the credit too?
First, we'll make an incision
in the pericardium.
You told them everything about this
patient, and about Dr. Saeki's health
Why?
I have to take down Dr. Seigo Saeki.
There was something
I wanted to confirm too.
-Confirm?
-That guy on the screen there.
His plan was to get rid of you all along.
-Anything else?
-No.
There was no need
for what you believe in.
But you were removed
from the team too, Dr. Tokai.
Yes, I was.
In the end, it's people.
Man always prevails.
Man always prevails in the end.
Anyway.
Wake me up when it's over.
Pericardial incision complete.
Next, we proceed
with myocardial protection.
Dr. Nishizaki is very skilled
even with a robot.
Aortic occlusion.
-Right.
-Right.
-Clamping forceps.
-Here.
Not these.
Bring the forceps
that Dr. Nishizaki always uses.
-What are you doing?
-Hurry up!
They seem to be in a rush.
A Darwin surgery is a team effort.
It's not just the operating surgeon.
The assistant following up
with the robot's arm is crucial.
But they don't have the experience.
-What are you doing? Hurry.
-Yes, sir.
Clamping complete.
Okay.
The left forceps
is not in their line of sight.
-What?
-This is not good.
The aorta has sustained damage!
-Compress the bleeding area!
-Suction! Now!
Right!
-Adding volume!
-Okay!
Take over!
This is really bad.
-Hurry!
-We need gauze, quick!
What are you doing? More suction!
It's no use! It won't stop!
Damn it.
Hey, get out of here!
Unskilled doctors are better off dead.
But I'll keep you alive for now.
What?
I told you, didn't I?
It will be fine as long as I'm here.
I'll stop the blood.
You carry on.
Finish the Caesar operation.
It will be your win in the end.
Congrats, Chairman.
This mistake of yours
I'll make it all disappear.
-Nekota.
-Yes.
Move it.
Move it!
-4-0.
-Here.
Dr. Saeki
-Professor!
-Dr. Saeki.
Let me take over, Dr. Tokai.
This is a joint operation.
If Dr. Nishizaki won't operate,
then I will.
Is that okay?
Tokai, I said I would take over.
Move it.
I'll take over now.
Okay.
-Get this out of the way.
-Right.
I'll do a minor thoracotomy and suture
the injured area to stop the bleeding.
Removing clamp. Flow down.
-Scalpel.
-Here.
Dr. Takashina, Dr. Sera, help me.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Electroscalpel.
-Here.
-Thoracotomy device.
-Here.
-4-0.
-Okay.
-Metz.
-Here.
Blood pressure
stabilized.
Next, we'll perform minimally invasive
beating heart mitral valve surgery.
-Scalpel.
-Here.
Professor
Who said he was in no state to operate?
His skills are incredible.
-Metz.
-Right.
-Black forceps.
-Okay.
This is Tojo University!
This is the pride of Tojo University!
Operating Surgeon Dr. Saeki!
Operation complete.
You finish up.
Okay.
Did you think I would lose so easily?
This is me.
These are the black forceps.
I
haven't lost yet.
My assistant just made a mistake
operating the arms.
You people
You're all fired!
Throwing people away like that
You have no right to be saving people.
-A job well done!
-Great work!
Incredible!
Doctor, thank you very much.
-I didn't do anything.
-That's not true.
I heard my son's operation was a success.
I can rest easy.
Mr. Kobayashi.
You're the head of Sakura Hospital, right?
Finally, it all makes sense now.
What do you mean?
The reason your son
was admitted suddenly to our hospital.
For you to be able
to ask that of Dr. Saeki,
you must share a special bond.
To pay us back,
I want you to inspect Dr. Saeki's heart.
Dr. Saeki's heart?
Oh, you haven't heard?
Then why was he visiting your hospital?
There's a patient that Tojo
doesn't want anyone to know about.
That's why he kept visiting your hospital.
He was barely able to see
the patient today.
Who is it?
What are their symptoms?
How old are they?
What's their name?
-You better spit it out.
-What are you doing?
Tell me.
-Tell me!
-Dr. Tokai, what are you doing?
Move it.
Tell me.
Say it!
Dr. Saeki!
Dr. Saeki!
Dr. Saeki!
Say it!
Tell me!
Iinuma
Tatsuji Iinuma
Are you okay?
Dr. Tokai!
It's Dr. Saeki!
It finally happened?
What is this? Forceps left behind?
Even so, he'll save them no matter what.
Don't underestimate me, Tokai.
Sometimes there are things
more important than life itself.
What is research to you?
Wasn't it made to save people's lives?
You are the shame of Tojo University!
Dr. Saeki can't be saved.
Please save the professor!
He's always saying crazy things
and making me do as he pleases.
Move it!
I'll kill him.
