Shinjuku Yasen Byoin (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

1
When's the national examination again?
It's next February.
She's passed it once in the US.
Should be easy.
Come to think of it.
You all passed that exam, right?
Of course, that's why we're all here!
I fell asleep!
With your eyes open?
It's so difficult! I don't get it!
Which one?
"Choose the one that is not
an appropriate cause
of reflux esophagitis."
I don't understand
the meaning of "not appropriate."
Oh, that?
It's the opposite of appropriate,
so you're looking for the incorrect one.
"A. Obesity, B. Old age,
C. Bad posture, or D. Atrophic gastritis."
That's easy!
The causes of reflux esophagitis, right?
Yeah, you just have to choose one.
I shall leave this to our physician,
Dr. Yokoyama.
So, you just have to spot the wrong one
Just find the wrong one.
Oh? What's wrong?
You don't know the answer?
You are a physician, right?
- What are you studying?
- Do you even know anything?
She's studying
for the nursing school exam.
For real?
I can't go to University but
I want to work at a hospital, so
Oh Mayu! You'll pass for sure!
I need to graduate first
which will be a challenge.
How about you, Toriki?
I'm Shiraki, not Toriki.
I'm studying Japanese.
You'll pass too, don't worry.
- Okamoto!
- Huh?
Yes?
- Come here!
- What?
Yes?
What is a Happening Bar?
W-Wait, what?
- I lost my phone, and
- Yeah?
- You know that "Find My Device" thing?
- Yes.
I used that to locate it.
The location-based service?
It says it's here.
So I used the map application
to check, and
HAPPENING BAR
Why? Why is my phone at the Happening Bar?
I've never been to this place!
Wait, so, the phone you're holding
Whose is that?
This? This is mine.
Oh, my.
I didn't lose my phone.
Come on!
- "Haste makes waste", am I right?
- I'm glad.
But then, whose phone is the one
at the Happening Bar?
MAKOTO SHIRAKI'S PHONE
My husband's.
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The largest entertainment district
in East Asia.
Hostess bars, host clubs, girls bars
and other legal entertainment
establishments line the street.
It has been reborn as a happy and
hygienic district for younger generations.
What's going on?
Has something gotten into her?
No, but her husband's at a Happening Bar.
It's scary that his secret came out
because she thought she lost her phone.
That bastard! So shameful!
He thought he could keep secrets from me?
I mean what does "happening"
even mean in this case?
Why don't you go check for yourself?
One of you needs to take me there!
Come on!
- Dr. Tajima, you go!
- Hang on!
Can we at least pretend
to discuss who goes?
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.
Also known as
So close!
He has no idea what's coming!
SHINJUKU FIELD HOSPITAL
Hey, you're acting scary.
Ms. Shiraki, you're scaring people!
Wait a minute
- Let's go back!
- Miss, excuse me but
- You're scaring my customers.
- What is this place?
Nothing's "happening!"
It's because you're scaring people!
Wait, Ms. Shiraki! No!
Makoto Shiraki! I know you're here!
- Hey, stop it!
- Come out now!
You can't do this!
So, there was no sign of him or his phone?
And we got kicked out.
Ms. Shiraki's gone home.
What a disaster!
So it was a "Nothing happening" bar.
By the way,
what does Ms. Shiraki's husband do?
He's a doctor. A pulmonologist.
He's really short.
I thought so.
He's the same size as the dog.
He's henpecked.
Shiraki controls the finances
and only gives him 20,000 yen per month.
Jeez
Even high school students get more
allowance than that from their parents.
So he saved up as much as possible to go
to a Happening Bar but nothing "happened."
I feel so sad for him.
With Ms. Horii,
the reality was not what we expected.
With Ms. Shiraki
it's exactly what we expected, isn't it?
I'll bring your change of clothes
and your mug tomorrow okay?
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
Doctor
How is she?
I worry about
the blood triglyceride levels.
She only eats Peyang noodles.
That's true. But what I meant is
Is she not causing you any trouble?
Trouble? What trouble?
You know, she's weird. Right?
Then she fits perfectly here.
An ER patient yesterday said his poop
was shortened and needed stitching.
What?
This.
Poop? Did you mean to say
his finger was shortened?
Ah, you're right!
His poop was shortened!
That's too funny!
I do understand Shinobu's situation.
I understand it in my head.
However, recently my brain
seems to not be working properly.
And I fear that if I die
she's going to be totally alone!
What should I do?
Will she be a lonely old man?
I mean, old woman?
Regardless, who's going to look after her?
If you worry so much about her,
just try to live as long as possible.
That's true.
What did you say?
Nothing! Finger, right?
No, it's poop!
I keep forgetting that I don't need
to get changed anymore.
Idiot.
Medium-sized decaf latte.
Thank you for waiting.
Yes.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Rib meat
- Hey, I haven't seen you in a while!
- How have you been?
- Huh?
Please pretend to know me,
I'm being followed.
I'm really good!
Sara and Rina were actually thinking
about going to karaoke!
Oh, no way! Kaede wants to go, too!
Come with us!
Let's go!
I didn't see anyone. You're okay.
Since when?
She works at a concept café. Right?
I'm quitting next month.
So is he your customer?
I was streaming on social media
to gain more customers.
And someone who works
in show business saw it and contacted me.
You got scouted? That's amazing!
So I made a post online that I was
quitting the café to become a model.
Huh?
"Why didn't you tell me?
Are you splitting up with me?"
That's so creepy, he thinks you're dating!
"I'm going to kill myself. And I'll leak
all your information online before I do."
This is depressing!
He started waiting in front of the café,
stalking me to the nearest station.
You haven't blocked him yet? You should!
There's no use.
He'll just create a new account.
"Who were those dumb-looking girls
that you were with?"
- That's scary, he knows we're dumb!
- So depressing!
- Can't you arrest him for stalking?
- His actions do count as that, but
Whether we can arrest him depends on him.
Which is why, tonight,
I have to go to Kaede's concept café.
Do any of you want to come with me?
No, thank you! I don't want to spend
1,000 yen for a polaroid picture.
I'm not a teenager.
Dr. Tajima?
Depends on the concept
I agree.
Would it let me forget about reality?
- Um
- You do know that
- Dr. Yokoyama has a wife and five kids?
- Yes.
I won't be easily persuaded.
Well, the concept is
you're dating an idol.
- Really? I can be their boyfriend?
- Yes.
But it's not real.
It's based on imagination.
Yeah, so to make it realistic,
you're not allowed to talk to her.
That makes sense.
Idols aren't usually allowed to date.
Exactly, imagine that your girlfriend
is talking to another man who likes her
and you have to just watch
while you pretend to enjoy
having a conversation with another girl.
- But she also has a boyfriend
- Ah, right.
And he's looking more and more
jealous as you talk to her.
Your girlfriend is also watching,
with jealousy in her eyes
- That's amazing!
- That's despicable!
Awful!
It's gross, fruitless, and stupid!
- Fine, I'll go by myself.
- Wait a minute!
Why don't we do Rock-Paper-Scissors?
- Great idea.
- Also, I didn't know you were married.
You must be joking.
- So we're all going, then.
- I guess.
Are you sure though?
What about the hospital?
It'll be fine!
Just pray there's no emergency,
it usually works.
Dr. Yoko and the director
are there tonight.
KINSHIMA BUILDING
- This is it.
- So close!
- Oh?
- What's wrong?
Nothing.
- Okay, so choose a girl at the reception
- Hand on.
- So we can't talk to the ones we choose?
- Exactly.
Welcome!
- Hello!
- Welcome!
Come sit here!
Thanks.
Can you tell which girl's whose?
I can't, actually.
They look different from the photos.
They were all photoshopped.
Japan is the worst.
Hi, we're new!
And we know some of them
Here you go!
- Buy the expensive stuff!
- Hello.
I'm getting takeaway.
Do you want some before you head home?
I'm making my husband cook tonight!
You should forgive him sometime soon.
- Right, see you tomorrow!
- Okay.
I had soba for lunch,
so maybe curry or some Chinese?
- Hazuki?
- No, thank you.
Yoko?
I'll have Ms. Horii's Peyang noodles,
so I'm fine.
- Okay.
- Pale sis
Me?
Is her care requirement certificate
ready yet?
It usually takes a month
after applying for it.
- How is she doing?
- Her injuries are much better.
But I'm worried about the muscle loss.
She is in her old age.
We'll need to find a good care worker
while she's with us.
What?
Nothing.
If he ever needs care, I'm relying on you.
You're joking, right?
You old pervert!
Drinks are on the loser!
- No way!
- This is going to be fun!
Okay, let's do this!
Careful
Oh, that was close!
I'm sorry we're a bit loud.
Do you come here often?
Oh, you like Kaede?
She's very cute.
I'm thinking about swapping over.
Although you might not like that.
So I need you to stop stalking her
and trolling her online and stuff, okay?
I've warned you now.
I'll put it in writing later as well.
Look, Goto. Look under the table.
Kazuma Goto. Just have a look, please!
POLICE OFFICER
YUTA OKAMOTO
Ignore the warning
and the Public Safety Commission
will issue a restraining order.
If you disobey that, you'll be arrested
with up to two years in prison
or a fine of up to two million yen.
But
What? Say again?
- We're dating
- I can't hear you!
We're dating. She's my girlfriend
That's the concept of this café.
It's not reality.
Excuse me.
Look, I'll buy you a drink.
- Go!
- Oh, no!
Fine! I'll buy the cheapest champagne!
- Yes! I knew you were rich!
- You're the best!
Bring it here!
Thanks!
- Um
- I don't drink much champagne
- Do you want to join us?
- Are you sure? Thank you so much!
- Can we have another glass?
- Sure!
Thank you.
Oh?
- Here you go.
- What did you chat about with Kaede?
Uh hang on.
- Um Hey
- What?
- Oh?
- What is it?
20,000 yen per month!
- How did you?
- I knew it! You're Ms. Shiraki's
- We're your wife's colleagues!
- Doctors of Magokoro!
Wow.
- Hey!
- Not so fast!
Explain yourself.
Well, you see
It was the right building
but not the Happening Bar
on the basement floor.
He was in the concept café
on the second floor.
So that's why it showed that location.
Makes sense! You worried over nothing!
Now, Ms. Shiraki
Let's forget about it
and have a great day.
I want a divorce!
I'm so sorry!
How did she find out? We never told her!
The polaroids.
- Are you ready?
- So cute!
They cost 5,000 yen per photo
so I was never able to buy them.
Don't worry about it!
Your wife does so much for us,
so this is a gift!
Shi-ra-ki-!
Don't worry about it!
Your wife does so much for us,
so it's a gift!
Shi-ra-ki-!
Your wife's been so kind to us!
- Okay! Shi-ra-ki-!
- Shi-ra-ki-!
He was looking at them all smiley at home,
with a beer in his hand.
Disgusting!
Ms. Shiraki,
a doctor can't get by on just
20,000 yen per month.
You haven't told them why, huh?
I fell for an online scam.
It was a one-click fraud
on a foreign porn site.
We lost 400,000 yen! Can you believe it?
So I'm punishing him!
How is your sex life, Mister?
- Cheki?
- You mean Shiraki!
- Oh my god, stop!
- It's non-existent, of course!
Stop talking about indecent things!
Indecent?
Pale sis, sex is very important
for married couples!
Let's talk about sex!
Where's Toru?
We're not like you Americans,
we don't talk about it openly!
That's why it's so awkward.
Why don't you try going
to a brothel for women?
What?
Have you been to one, Muraki?
I have!
They're great!
What? Just a warning?
I thought the law was revised,
why can't you arrest him?
There's a procedure to follow
and I can't arrest him on my own.
He was very quiet
and he left without us noticing.
He'll do it again if you don't arrest him!
- I don't know about that. I think
- Can you shut up, please?
It took courage for her
to come to us to ask for help.
What if it backfires?
Will you take responsibility?
It won't change a thing if I arrest him!
He won't reflect on his actions.
He'll think he's innocent
and it's all her fault,
and his actions will escalate.
He doesn't think of
other people's feelings!
That's why you need to keep him away!
Kids never used to hang in Kabukicho
That's because yakuza and other scary
adults were holding sway in the area!
Exactly.
There were anti-social forces,
gangs, and other crime groups.
And I think we need something in this town
that has as much power as they did.
Whether it's an NPO
or a neighborhood watch group.
Something that'll restore order!
Kabukicho might look dazzling
from the outside,
but it's so disordered!
Being by their side,
giving them a hand with things
- That's just not enough!
- Using force is never the answer!
This is exactly the same
as the concept of that café!
Huh?
- I can't talk to my own girlfriend.
- Oh?
Oh I'm sorry.
But I'm just going to say it
rather than doing a half-assed job,
isn't it better to do nothing at all?
- Toru, that's not
- I'm sorry.
Of course, police can't turn a blind eye.
But you're a volunteer
so you can, technically.
Good intentions can backfire,
and if you can't be fully responsible,
I think the best good intention
would be to do nothing in the first place.
So yeah.
Maybe it's better to not get involved,
and that could be
the ultimate way of volunteering.
That's just my idea.
You have absolutely no clue.
Sorry to disturb
but Kaede's live stream is starting soon!
PLEASE WAI
Oh, not yet
But they're all so good-looking!
You get to do stuff with them?
Their bodies are insane!
- Which one did you go for?
- Let me see
- Oh, I think it was this one!
- He's a real big guy!
Their asses are just amazing!
How do you feel?
I don't feel great.
Right?
This is what you all usually do!
They're probably photoshopped.
He'll be short and chubby.
Right?
I don't care about the face
as long as he has a beautiful ass!
Never forget this feeling!
He was tracking my location on his
phone without me noticing.
Isn't that creepy?
It affected me mentally and
"I love you Kaede! You're the best!"
- The comments are looking good.
- What's the stalker's account name?
"I ♥ Kabukicho."
He hasn't said anything so far.
He got banned from entering the café
but he would come disguised
Should she be saying all this?
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
My last day at the café
is on September 14th!
I don't want it to be a sad day.
So let's have fun together!
Looking forward to seeing you!
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!
Looking forward to seeing you!
Let's have fun together!
SEPTEMBER 14TH
Sorry for the wait!
Please come again!
Sorry for the wait Good to see you again!
Thank you for coming!
Now remember the rules
Mr. Mifune!
Mr. Taizo Mifune!
- Mr. Mifune!
- Woah!
Please come in.
- You got this.
- Okay
Which one is against
the doctors' professional ethics?
"A. Conducting medical practices
on a foreign medical license."
That's why I'm studying hard now.
Nice!
Mom, shall we order takeout eel tomorrow?
That sounds great.
It's okay, right, Dr. Yoko?
She's doing so well!
- What's going on?
- What was that?
- Fire! A huge one! Nearby!
- No way!
We will report
any new information that comes in.
A fire has broken out
at a building in Kabukicho
with casualties being reported.
Let me repeat that again.
A building in Kabukicho
Hello, Magokoro!
We're cutting the program short
to report an incident
Here? A triage? For multiple casualties?
There's no way! You need to say no!
- Triage?
- They do them in war zones.
You decide who to treat first depending on
the severity of their injuries.
- To save as many people as possible.
- But here?
The incident happened near here
so they want us to help organize it!
How many people?
- F-Fifty people!
- That's impossible!
She's getting ready for it.
The firefighters can do the triage
at the scene.
It's been a while.
Did you hear that? She said yes!
I don't believe this.
This can't be happening!
Toru
An unthinkable thing has happened,
so we have to do the unthinkable, too!
Okamoto, look! This is on social media.
I'll go check!
- Huh? What is it?
- It happened at
The concept café that we went to!
- Coming in!
- Thank you.
- Hello?
- Please check him.
- It's a yellow tag.
- No, red.
Prepare for tracheal intubation, please.
Red is Immediate, yellow is Delayed
and green is Minimal.
- Thank you.
- Can you hear me?
Doctor, my leg hurts.
Please take him to the yellow zone.
- Okay!
- Okay!
Hey, where's your mother?
Don't worry, I'll take her
to the director's room.
- Let's go.
- Thank you.
Excuse me, Doctor.
He's injured on his left leg.
- He cannot walk.
- It'll be fine.
- Yellow! Go!
- Let's go.
You won't die!
Are you alright?
- What's going on?
- Have you not seen the news?
No, I was at a swimming pool with my kid.
- To the emergency room, please!
- What?
- Move!
- What?
Sara! Are you okay?
I jumped from a window
on the second floor.
I can't reach Rina!
Sara!
Rina!
You're alive!
- Inside, please.
- Yes.
He's got extensive burns.
Everywhere else is full.
Can you speak?
Raise your arm if you can hear me!
Where's Kaede?
I haven't seen her!
All I could do was save myself.
- Kaede
- Hang on.
The Happening Bar on the B1 floor
wasn't open yet so it was empty.
The staircase was in the worst state.
The target must've been the concept café.
We've narrowed down the suspect
by checking social media posts.
Kazuma Goto, 31 years old.
- Unemployed.
- No way
He had received a warning last month
due to stalking one of the staff members.
He was posting suspicious things
online after that.
He'll do it again if you don't arrest him.
"I ♥ Kabukicho." You must be joking.
So he hadn't learned his lesson. Damn it!
Please check if he has been taken to one
of the hospitals as soon as possible.
The fire has been extinguished now.
However
There are still multiple people left
inside who have inhaled the smoke,
and their status is still unknown.
- Reported deaths
- Dr. Yoko, could you come with me?
- They need to wait for their turn.
- Is it an emergency?
Well it's the perpetrator
- What?
- What?
What should we do?
Take my place!
40% of the body surface is burnt,
most are level three on the burn index.
Shall I report it to the police?
We need to take him
to critical care first.
- Why would you help him?
- Please be quiet.
Look at this.
HE'S THE PERPETRATOR
He'll get the death penalty!
If you have time to help that scum
please check on the girls!
Shiraki, critical care!
Don't ignore me!
Sorry, all the critical care centers
are full at the moment!
- He'll die!
- There's nothing I can do!
- It's his own fault!
- Shiraki!
I can't reach my husband!
No!
Did he go back to the café again?
- No! No way!
- Sorry. He's an idiot.
He may be hopeless,
but he's still my husband
and I need him to be alive!
Dr. Yoko, this patient
Not to worry, we're here to take them.
Dr. Arai!
We came as part
of the Disaster Medical Assistance Team.
Kachidoki Hospital will take on
all your critically injured patients.
- I'll take him.
- He's a priority.
Hey! You're going to save a murderer!
It doesn't matter if he's a criminal
or a victim, I won't let him die!
- She's so cool.
- I know.
Right?
You're still here? You should go home.
Can't I help with something?
Well in that case.
Get changed into this.
- Are you sure?
- You can't be here looking like that.
Thanks.
Kachidoki
No wonder we couldn't find him.
Thank you, Toru.
You saved us a lot of time.
Mr. Yanai! I know where Goto is!
- What? Where?
- Let's go!
Okay
If you can tell me, I'll go by myself.
So slow.
Stairs?
We need to look inside your mouth.
Can you open wide, Mr. Goto?
A little bit more.
I'm going to attach this to your arm.
Please stay alive.
If you die, that'll cause issues for us.
Right?
He did something despicable.
MAI MINAMI
I need to take this.
Mr. Goto? How are you doing?
Did you call me?
Yeah, I did.
I need to apologize.
You were right.
- No, I wasn't.
- Yes, you were.
If I had just arrested him then,
this wouldn't have happened.
- It totally backfired.
- You're wrong, Okamoto.
I'm with Kaede.
The hospital called me. She's in the ICU.
Is she alive?
Yes.
I'm so glad.
Okamoto
I mean, I'm not glad
that it happened obviously,
but I'm so glad she's alive.
Actually
Huh?
What did you mean by "you're wrong"?
She says Goto wasn't the perpetrator.
She can speak?
No, in writing.
I'll read it.
- Okamoto!
- Hang on.
Yes?
Goto says he wants to talk to you!
He can talk?
Not much, but he's going into
surgery now so it needs to be quick!
Come on!
Okay!
"Goto came to the café today.
I was scared but It was my last day.
And I didn't want him to escalate
by me ignoring him."
- I just
- Manager.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Goto. Thank you for supporting me.
"Then, he
put all the photos
we had taken on the counter and said"
Please get rid of these.
What?
I will delete
all my social media accounts.
"And he actually deleted them
in front of me."
I'm so sorry.
I failed to think
about how you were feeling.
I'm sorry for saying all those things
in the live stream.
Now
You and I
are strangers.
You have nothing to worry about.
I wish you
all the best in the future.
"He had such an honest look.
I knew he wasn't lying."
Hey!
Let's take one last photo together.
"If I hadn't stopped him then
he might have been okay."
Wait.
What is it?
THANK YOU!
Oh I see.
You apologized to her.
After we had the chat
I suddenly felt
so embarrassed of myself.
Don't talk. I get it.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interfered.
I'm so sorry.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Can you tape this down?
Okay.
Please come again tomorrow
to get it checked.
- You'll be fine.
- Thank you.
- Take care.
- Sorry!
Hey! Oh, that looks good on you.
- Where's Toru?
- I can get him.
You'll need to get used to this
if you want to be a plastic surgeon.
I know.
- I can do that.
- I'm sorry.
20% of the body's surface
is burned so it's an extensive burn.
What's the best way to treat him?
The third-degree burns
will probably not regenerate.
He'll need multiple skin grafts.
It'll be a long process.
Toru. The police are here to see you.
- Police?
- It's just Okamoto.
Oh, good. So they're both okay.
I know. I feel a bit better.
But if it wasn't Goto. Who was it?
These are from the security cameras.
First Avenue.
KABUKICHO FIRST AVENUE
Don Quijote.
Seibu Shinjuku station
And
This.
This was found.
A part of his bag.
He might have carried
the explosives in it.
Oh?
I ♥ KABUKICHO
I can do that.
I'm sorry.
I ♥ KABUKICHO
And this is
the photo that Goto had with him.
Exactly.
I double-checked,
and the "I" in Goto's account name
was in kanji, not the English alphabet.
Goto had actually listened to me.
Out of the patients you had today
The belt is on!
What is it?
Kachidoki Medical Center
said they're ready!
- Let's go.
- Wait!
This room is staff only! How many times
My name is Yanai, I'm with the police!
Please take him first.
He's the perpetrator.
What do you mean, "so what"?
We need him alive!
- In order to understand this incident.
- Who said I'd let him die?
- But
- You're really getting on my nerves!
Who do you think you all are,
telling us what to do
with the perpetrator's life?
How dare you! This is someone's life!
His injuries are more severe, aren't they?
- He has a tube in his mouth
- This one has burns over the whole body!
We had to wait for a long time
for the critical care center to take him.
Checking on him in turns,
so he doesn't get worse!
You have no right to tell us what to do!
It's no use, Detective. You've angered
"The Red Beard of Kabukicho."
Fine.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Stretcher out!
Move out of the way!
His motives
were ridiculously childish and simple.
KABUKICHO NEEDS A CLEANSE
"I was frustrated.
It didn't matter who died.
I wanted the death penalty."

It's called anime!
Manga
He was watching a manga at the cinema.
Anime!
She doesn't know the difference
between manga and anime!
Mai asked me once
"Do you think this world is equal?"
My answer now is
This society isn't equal at all,
but the value of life is equal
so nothing's in vain.
Yep, that's it.
You were asleep?
This is Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
The biggest entertainment
district in East Asia.
Anybody can live it up safely.
A happy and hygienic
district for younger generations.
SHINJUKU GOLDEN GAI
I'm in love with a police officer.
She didn't have to tell me
he's a police officer!
Give me back my money!
I'm going to marry into his family.
You gave up on surgeons?
