So this is the blood vessel
confirmed in the ultrasound.
What should the laser intensity be?
It would be best to start
at a low intensity, right?
Let's confirm a few things.
Yes.
Will you reveal secrets?
I won't.
Will you leak information to the press?
I won't.
Will you publish a thesis?
I won't.
Well, will you swear loyalty to the president?
I won't.
I will repeat the question.
Will you swear loyalty to the president?
I won't do anything that doesn't require a medical license.
I will ask you the question once more.
Enough! I'm going.
Wait!
Open it wider.
Yes, sir.
Pericardial incision. Metzenbaum.
Yes, sir.
- Forceps.
- Yes, sir.
Blood pressure's down to 60.
Where's the bleeding?
- Suction!
- Yes, sir.
Gauze!
Yes, sir.
I can't find the bleed.
It's massive bleeding.
Blood pressure is down even further.
Where's the blood?
Get a transfusion started now!
The matching Rh negative blood isn't here yet!
- It isn't here yet?
- No.
We're out of options
Continue the operation!
Without the blood, there's nothing we can do!
Who are you?
Michiko Daimon.
Move. You're in the way.
Get back!
Who the hell are you?
Out of my way.
Get me some blood.
Rh positive's fine.
Changing plans.
A median sternotomy.
Are you crazy?
No time to explain.
No. 10 blade.
What are you doing?
Stop it!
You have no right to do this!
The left ventricle's ruptured.
I'll repair it, and then perform an OPCAB
using the internal thoracic artery.
That will k*ll him!
It can't be done!
Can you save the president?
At this rate, if we don't do anything, he'll die.
Either way, he's going to die.
It's too risky.
No way! You can't.
Cure President Roldan no matter what it takes
in less than five hours.
Five hours? That's impossible!
If the president doesn't speak
before the citizens within five hours,
the government will be overthrown.
Do it!
And if I don't?
I'm sorry. You don't have that option.
This sucks.
We only have five hours.
And I only have two hands, so
Help me.
Now!
Metzenbaum.
I never fail.
There are doctors who undauntedly
rise to the challenge of
performing dangerous surgeries
with low success and survival rate.
Surgeries with yet established
surgical procedures.
With respect and sarcasm,
these doctors are called,
Evil doctors
who place human lives on a scale.
Also known as
Doctor-X.
If such a doctor does exist,
I hope they rot in hell.
Hands of God.
Thank you very much.
It seems that President Roldan
will be able to stand before the citizens in a while.
I'll get right to the point.
I bring you a melon.
Here is the bill.
We will deliver Dr. Daimon to Japan safe and sound.
Peace and love to this country!
I got it!
I'm back to life!
Akira?
Akira!
Akira!
Hey, Akira!
Hey, Akira! What?
What are you doing?
No, what are you doing? Let go!
I said let me go! Akira!
Let me go! Akira!
Akira!
This is the story
of a lone wolf woman doctor.
In a rapidly aging Japan
Urgent medical reforms are needed
to protect lives at risk.
Attention.
Director Ebina will commence his rounds.
Hello! Good morning!
Good morning!
Oh, a new patient? Welcome!
Change and challenge!
- Am I the only one embarrassed here?
- It's not a fish market.
He's too excited.
Hey, you're looking much better!
Everyone, welcome!
However
The rigid structure of what was once
the Ivory Tower remains unchanged.
Weak leaders take the reins
through deference and favoritism.
As such, the institution
continues to decline.
Good morning.
Good morning.
In these difficult times
Someone must carry on my aspirations
and protect Totei University Hospital.
Ebina.
I entrust this only to you.
I accept with great honor, sir.
Did you grow a mustache?
Yes, sir. I grew it as a tribute to you.
You look good.
It's a true honor, sir.
Good, good.
May you all be united
Under Totei University Hospital's
newest director
Ebina.
I trust that you'll support him.
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir.
Y-yes, sir?
Say it with everyone.
Okay.
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir
This is so nice
Oh, thank you!
- Fancy flowers for the new director, huh?
- Seems so.
Chairman Hiruma,
these were all sent for you.
- Is that so? Well, just put them there.
- Yes, sir.
- I knew it.
- Right?
That's okay.
Excuse me.
Director Ebina,
this is from Noto Herbal Pharmacy.
It's tiny!
How thoughtful of Mr. Noto.
Sir, look what I got
from Noto Herbal Pharmacy!
- Oh, did you get that? It's small.
- Yes, it is.
- How small. Good for you.
- Yes, it's adorable.
It's tiny.
The Republic of Unica's President Roldan
at his residence on September 23rd
What?
President Roldan?
Didn't they say he was unwell
on the morning news?
It was probably fake news from those
against the government.
- He seems to be in tip-top shape.
- He looks real healthy.
It's not fake news.
Some unknown doctor performed a top secret
surgery on him for a large payout.
The operation and recovery
took five hours in all.
Five hours? That's insane!
Wait a minute, who are you?
He's wearing funny-looking pants, too.
Are you an intern?
Look, this room is for senior doctors.
You've got a long way to go.
Your phone is ringing.
He's no intern. He's a psychic!
- What do you want?
- He's sly.
Answer it and you'll know.
Hello. This is Hiruma speaking.
Ah, Sir how are you?
Yes.
Yes.
I understand, Sir. Yes, Sir.
Get up.
Sir?
Get off the chair and let him sit.
What?
Thank you.
After rejecting
Director Ebina's promotion
The board decided to implement
a few changes in staff and personnel.
I am neither an intern nor a psychic.
I am the Director of this Hospital, Kozu.
Hiroto Kozu.
Our new hospital director
is not only a surgeon,
but also a professor
of evidence-based medicine.
I didn't catch that last part
But aren't you too young
to be the hospital director?
I was chosen to revamp the institution.
You will retain your position
as honorary chairman.
Honorary Chairman?
You get to keep the title.
As a reward for your service.
In other words, no guarantee?
Seriously?
All other older doctors must step down
and end their careers voluntarily.
- End their careers?
- What the hell are you saying?
If older doctors don't step aside,
personnel costs will skyrocket
and this hospital will cease to run.
It is what it is.
Right?
Amid this medical crisis,
freelance doctors have emerged.
In other words, lone wolf doctors.
Let me go!
Ow! That hurts!
What the hell?!
No, you can't go
Wait! What about me?!
Damn you, b*stards!
What am I going to do?
What's that?
I'm so hungry!
I'm starving
Damn it!
I'm hungry!
This woman, for example.
Despising the herd mentality,
authority and institutional restraints
Her solo weapons are her license
and the skills she has earned.
No way!
Dr. Daimon?
Surgeon Michiko Daimon.
Also known as
Doctor-X.
How in the world did you end up here?
I could hardly believe my eyes.
Did you fall out of a helicopter?
You forgot Japanese from the shock, huh?
Draft beer.
So you can speak.
- Draft beer please.
- Got it.
- Two draft ones!
- Two?
It must be fate that I ran into you.
Actually, I had stent surgery for an
abdominal aortic aneurysm two years ago.
I got too busy and pushed myself too hard.
So I returned to Choshi and got
an easygoing hospital job in my hometown.
Where are you from, Dr. Daimon?
Kure.
Kure?
Ah, in Hiroshima?
Look.
I don't know you, but I'm broke.
So, you pay it.
It's me. Morimoto.
Hikaru Morimoto.
You don't remember?
That guy!
I saved that guy's life!
You mean President Roldan? Excuse me.
- She says she saved the president's life?
- No way, that's impossible!
- Dream on
- Thanks for the meal.
Overcome this crisis together.
Anxiety over health condition
Five-Hour Absence
If she says she did it,
then it's possible.
Pediatric care revenues are declining.
Understood.
Review the KPIs
Go over all of the KPIs.
Request improvement proposals
from the department heads.
- Certainly.
- So that's the new hospital director
- What is this caterpillar-like parade?
- Caterpillar?
Say, you know, Director
This procession that we have
It's an important symbol of our
united authority as doctors.
Always remember that, okay?
I'd rather watch a caterpillar crawl.
Did you hear that? He says he'd rather
Ow, ow!
Please maximize your time performance.
Come again?
- Yes, sir.
- There it is again. Yessir.
What'd he say? Wait, what was it?
- What did he say?
- Yes, sir
- What's with everyone saying "yes sir"?
- Forget that. What'd he say?
- He said "time performance."
- What's that?
It's time performance.
Now, what's with everyone saying "yes sir"?
Yes, sir?
Beats me.
Japan is now in a punch-drunk state.
Which path should Japan take to recover
from its economic stagnation?
We must anticipate
the future needs of humanity.
Our company is taking the first step
with our revolutionary medical robot.
Next month, the world will witness
its grand unveiling.
Hiroto has a younger twin brother.
Takato was known around town as the
"wheelchair prodigy."
- Wheelchair?
- His legs are disabled.
But he's so smart, he even started
his own business without going to college.
Here.
Hiroto is a younger guy from my hometown.
I looked after him like a little brother.
So the younger twin's a money whiz,
while the older twin is a career whiz?
Whatever!
This guy's probably bribing the board
with his little brother's money.
Give me a break.
Don't let that ran do beat you,
Former Director!
- Don't call him that, Oma
- No, that's okay.
It was a nice dream for a while,
but it's just a fancy title.
Bottoms up tonight, eh, Former Director?
- I said don't call him that!
- It's okay!
Say, look here, I'm the hospital director!
- You drink, too. Drink.
- No, thanks.
- The director sent a message.
- What? He's no director!
It's after hours!
I'll read it.
"Surgeons, the utilization rate
of operating rooms is too low."
"Starting tomorrow,
we will implement 24-hour surgery shifts."
- What the hell?!
- What?
Doctors who can't work 15 hours a day,
please resign by midnight.
Fifteen hours? I'll die!
- He's out to k*ll the doctors.
- Damn hospital director.
- I'm putting my foot down.
- Yeah, let's stop this!
Go on and resign.
You stop it, too!
- Hurry up and stop it!
- I can't do that.
- Go ahead!
- No, stop it! Stop!
Ron!
Pure terminals.
- What a strong hand!
- Seriously!
Well, since you always rip me off
with outrageous surgery bills
I guess I won this time.
Come on, give us a chance.
You've bled us dry!
Look, I just came to ask a favor.
- A favor?
- Yes.
Give me Michiko Daimon.
Mr. Hiruma!
- Don't you have a wife?
- Of course, I do.
- I don't want Daimon's hand in marriage.
- Oh, is that so?
- I simply need
- What?
Someone who can give this new director
a taste of his own medicine.
And that's Daimon.
That youngster director
has totally taken over.
He's pushing some awful reforms.
He has no respect for doctors,
that idiot director.
The only one who can put him in place
is Michiko Daimon.
I don't care how much. I'll pay you.
As appealing as that sounds
I don't know where Michiko is.
- She's doing her own thing.
- Yes.
Then, call her!
You owe me.
Pay up!
University hospitals in Japan are over.
The best doctors have all gone abroad
for better pay.
We're left with geriatric doctors
and lazy-asses.
I don't agree.
There are still great doctors in Japan.
The one who saved President Roldan's life
was a Japanese doctor.
Do you know
who operated on President Roldan?
It couldn't have been anyone else but her.
What kind of doctor is she?
A third of our doctors have resigned
and left this hospital.
The rest of you will work 15 hours a day.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir
What about last night's protest?
We will now send your shift schedules.
What's this?
- No breaks?
- Impossible
How sad for you all.
Shall I object on your behalf?
Yes, sir.
You know
There's a name for people like you.
I believe it's called "psychopath."
- Psychopath?
- Yes.
You're too kind.
It wasn't a compliment.
Quit fooling around!
You're not cut out
to lead an organization.
Take it from me,
who practically raised this hospital.
- An organization is
- Let's change that macho mindset.
Okay?
This punk
How dare you speak like that
to the Honorary Chairman?
This whole meeting
With these pointless speeches
and boot licking is a huge waste of time.
Don't you think so?
Do I think so?!
Quit talking that way!
Demon?
W-Who's that?
Michiko Daimon.
I got worried when they said
you were missing.
Did you come here for me?
Not exactly, sir.
- Director Kozu called for Dr. Daimon.
- What?
So you're Dr. Daimon.
I have been expecting you.
Oh, she doesn't do handshakes.
You see, Michiko Daimon and I go way back.
And with her manager, too, you know
The Melon Guy.
- Melon?
- Yes, that's right. Melon.
- Her manager will be here soon.
- I only ask one thing
Will you do 200 operations a month?
200 operations a month?
I will!
Two hundred?
Michiko!
Where the hell have you been
all this time?
Answer me!
My apologies. I got a bit carried away.
- Everyone, it has been a while.
- Thank you for coming.
- Honorary Chairman, great to see you.
- Yes, great to see you.
- Are you alright?
- Yes, I'm doing well.
- You must be the new hospital director.
- Nice to meet you.
I apologize for the delay.
I am Kanbara,
of the Kanbara Locum Doctors Agency.
Now then
- We will explain the terms of employment
- I won't!
What?
Who is this man?
I don't know this old geezer.
Michiko!
Please excuse us.
Where was I? Yes, once again
- Michiko Daimon's terms of employment
- I won't do it!
Not like I care,
but what's with these people?
- Gross, Kin!
- Mamoru. Mamoru Hara.
Oh, let it go.
We're too stressed out already.
- At least, let us play mahjong!
- Shut up.
Easy, Dr. Kaji.
Our next surgery starts at midnight.
- That psycho will be the end of us!
- I said shut up.
Never mind that.
Daimon, where have you been all this time?
- Akira was so worried.
- You've got to be kidding me!
Now, I really know what kind of person
this old man is.
What are you talking about?
He ditched me and ran off.
"Akira!"
I screamed so hard,
but he skipped away happily.
I got shoved in a helicopter
and then dumped at sea.
I thought I was done for!
How could they do that to an
esteemed doctor?
She's no esteemed doctor. Are you, Demon?
Thank goodness you made it back!
Ben Casey! Gannon!
It's not like I wanted to see you again.
I only came back for these cuties.
Maybe you didn't hear her call for help,
Akira?
His hearing's been going bad.
Sometimes, he can't hear me either.
Look.
His eyesight's going, too.
Exactly. Have a little heart.
Gotcha, Michiko.
Ron!
Thirteen orphans.
You wiped me out?
See?
I knew this old geezer's no good!
I finally found him.
He's no longer a doctor but
Apparently, he's still alive.
It's been a while.
Yes.
Yes.
Is that so?
Contact me if anything happens.
Thank you.
- How many more left today?
- We got three.
A pyloric gastrectomy, a biliary bypass,
and a sigmoid colon resection.
Where did Dr. Ebina go?
Maybe he's taking a nap
on the toilet again.
- Let him sleep.
- The next operation's about to start!
You're too loud.
Hey, I'm done here. Want me to take over?
Yes, please.
Okay.
- What is with her?
- She's being annoying.
How is she so fired up?
- There must be something weird in this.
- Drink it then.
- I'm scared, Dr. Kaji.
- What's the matter with you?
Too sweet!
You need to consider everyone's health.
This could trigger a medical accident.
- The OR turnover has doubled, you know.
- The older doctors can't keep up.
I'll be straight with you.
Surgeons over 50 should just go.
- The old department heads are just trash.
- Don't call them that!
Dr. Ebina?
Wait. Don't do it, Dr. Ebina.
Dr. Ebina,
I apologize for what Hiroto said.
You think doctors over 50 are trash, too.
Right?
You're real chummy with that director,
aren't you?
Congrats on the promotion, Chief!
We're heading into an op, so cut it out.
You can save your sandbox fight for later.
Hey, are you okay?
I'm fine.
- Let's get you examined.
- Now?
- We're short on surgeons!
- Get another...
I said I'm fine.
I knew it.
- Morimoto!
- Are you okay? What happened?
His stent must have moved.
- Possible rupture. Emergency operation.
- Pull it together, Morimoto.
- Doctors, what about the other patient?
- Get the echo ready.
- Prep the OR.
- Stretcher!
- Yes!
- Thank you.
Daimon, I'll do the surgery.
What?
Blood pressure 102 over 75.
Pulse 63. Sinus.
Let's hurry.
We only got Dr. Ebina and an intern
to assist?
Is that okay?
Of course. Leave it to me.
We will now begin the vascular graft
replacement surgery on Hikaru Morimoto.
Scalpel.
Monopolar.
Dr. Morimoto is also from your hometown.
You must be worried about him.
Not really.
I just wanted to see that woman operate.
The old lady's pretty fast.
Separating the left kidney
from the retroperitoneum. Metzen.
- Expand the field.
- Copy that. Zuppel forceps.
Forceps please.
Move.
Sorry.
Detorse the left kidney
and retract the ureter.
Yes.
- What did you do?
- I'm sorry!
- Suction!
- Sorry, here we go.
Get more IV fluids!
Are you done watching?
Blood pressure down to 65.
Daimon, what do we do now? He's dying!
- Shut up!
- Sorry.
BP crashing to 62!
The one crying here should be the patient.
I'm sorry.
Director
Injury site confirmed. 6-0 polypropylene.
Let's switch to transperitoneal approach.
Can't.
That'll risk post-op intestinal paralysis.
A small incision will minimize the impact.
I will help you. Step aside please.
Excuse me.
Forceps.
It'll take too long to fix
the damaged renal artery.
For the vascular replacement,
how about we use a cellular graft?
From where?
If I had that, I would be using it by now.
Director Kozu, sorry for the wait.
A 3D bio printed cellular artificial graft,
developed by my brother's company.
Okay.
Let's try it. Cooper.
I'll do the vascular anastomosis.
Bulldog clamps.
- Repairing injury site. Lower my loupe.
- Yes, excuse me.
Metzen.
Expanding the field.
The replacement will be
from here to here, right?
Yes.
We're all set here.
Let's get the graft size right.
Understood. Cooper.
This feels so good!
The best!
You said it.
This is a melon.
This is the bill.
We applied a special rate
to match your intense job demands.
Allow me.
This is way over the line.
Understood. Settle the payment right away.
Certainly.
Thank you.
I'd like to hire Dr. Daimon officially.
I'll pay the contract fee,
whatever the cost.
I heard you were brought in
to fix the hospital's financial deficit.
Michiko Daimon's cost performance
is terrible.
I won't use the hospital funds.
Mr. Kanbara.
Do you know who my brother is?
You must mean that young man
who is often featured in the media.
My brother
He'll spare no cent to build a robot copy
of a super-doctor like Dr. Daimon.
We can bring all the robot doctors we need
when humankind moves to Mars.
Your brother is a genius at making money.
That must be nice.
Have you met him?
My brother Takato?
Me?
Why?
Our agency may go up in flames.
Even so
I will not sell Michiko Daimon
at any price.
Excuse me.
Genius Leads Japan Toward Medical Apex.
Business World's Golden Child
My fingertips got all chilly
My toes aren't even warm yet
You know That psychopath's not so bad.
That's weird coming from you.
Really?
Is he a twin?
- They're identical.
- What? Oh, yeah.
I didn't know Michiko would go weak
for a pretty-boy doctor.
Better than being a shady old coot.
How long will you two keep fighting?
- Here.
- Thank you.
Cheers!
- What is this?
- Is it non-alcohol?
Akira, you can't be serious.
Oh no, I guess I bought the wrong kind.
Didn't you do it on purpose? Rip-off!
You should get a cataract exam asap.
Is he going senile?
Old, old fart
Knock it off.
Everyone gets like this as they age.
The two of you
In twenty years,
your joints will be creaking, too.
- You're so annoying!
- It's his way of caring.
Growing old and passing on
These are among the finest programs
in our DNA.
Although
Somehow
I feel like I'm never going to die.
What?
You're going way too far.
We won't look after you anymore then.
Weird old fart Oops, I dropped it. Sorry.
- It flew from my hand.
- What's wrong with you?
I guess there's no more place for me
in the department.
Younger doctors are simply better,
cost-wise.
Maybe it really is better
for our generation to step aside.
Hey.
What are the five fundamental
human desires?
Food, sex, sleep
What are the other two?
Power.
And personal gain.
That little punk!
I swear I'll take back
the director's seat from him.
Yes, sir.
Honorary Chairman Hiruma.
Somehow
I feel that you will live forever.
The one and only
No other mountain as high as us
The breeze follows and covers us
Let's keep walking our own way
Totei, Totei, Totei, Totei
Totei is our pride
and it's the one and only
Totei
Please let me collect your data.
This cellular artificial graft was created
using a 3D bio printer.
I want to show it at the next conference.
I'd be happy to help.
Who exactly is Dr. Daimon?
You used to work with her, right?
Yes.
How is she related to Akira Kanbara?
Why do you ask?
Her surgery skills
exceeded my expectations.
I wonder how she became that good.
Sorry
Could you get me 30ml of pentazocine?
I'll ask the nurse later.
How do you feel?
Still in pain, huh?
I got you 30ml of pentazocine.
Dr. Daimon
Senpai.
You can't hold a scalpel anymore
in your condition.
Once you're discharged
Please take it easy and rest at home.
So I guess that's it for me
I know I just had surgery,
so maybe I shouldn't say this.
But I want to do more surgeries.
I want to help more people.
I feel that way more so than ever.
I can't do anything else.
Don't worry.
You'll hold a scalpel in a month
if you give your all in rehab.
Are you sure?
That's the kind of surgery you got.
With that psychopath.
Dr. Daimon
I never fail.
HIROSHIMA PREFECTURE
Excuse me.
May I ask you a question?
Do you happen to know a place called
Daimon Clinic in this area?
Daimon Clinic?
I don't know.
Is that so?
Thank you.
Excuse me. May I ask you something?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Daimon Clinic's been closed
for a long time.
There's nothing left of it now.
I see.
Dr. Daimon got sick and died.
That's why the clinic shut down.
Do you know of a girl named Michiko
who lived there?
Let me ask someone.
- Are you a detective?
- No, I'm a doctor.
A doctor?
You don't look it.
There was?
Ah, yes.
Young man!
They know that girl!
- Thank you for meeting with me.
- That's alright.
We haven't seen Michiko
since we were in school together.
Did she get in trouble or something?
No, not at all.
I used to work with her.
Dr. Daimon operated on me and now,
I'm much better.
So Why are you looking into her?
I respect Dr. Daimon.
She's the most incredible surgeon
I've ever met.
I just want to know more about her.
What a shock.
That scaredy-cat became a great surgeon?
It can't be.
Oh, the other one's over there.
Michiko.
Catch it.
Hurry!
Go on and catch it!
What's the matter?
Daimon, it's class time.
You have to do it, too.
Yes.
Stop playing around. There, release it.
- Michiko?
- Are you okay?
What happened?
KONO MEDICAL PRACTICE
I heard you and Dr. Daimon
went to the same medical school.
Man, I never thought
Daimon would go into surgery.
I heard that as a child,
she was squeamish about dissections.
She had it tough in med school, too.
I never figured she'd be a surgeon.
MEIEI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
A moment of silence.
Daimon.
Demonstrate according to the lecture.
Yes.
Hey, Daimon. Daimon?
Resecting the S2 segment. Metzen.
She pretty much knew
she wasn't cut out for it.
But I guess she wanted
to follow in her dad's footsteps.
When her dad died
Daimon Clinic went bankrupt.
I think they got caught in some trouble
with Totei University Hospital.
I can't imagine Dr. Daimon
used to be like that.
No?
So Daimon really became that impressive?
I don't know any other surgeon
as brilliant as she is.
Is that so?
She was a quiet kid
who didn't stand out back then.
But she worked harder than anyone else.
She always had a soft spot
for anyone weak.
A real nice kid.
DAIMON CLINIC
You were real scared, right?
There, it's okay now.
Live.
Be well.
Great to see you again, Dr. Busujima.
I'm Morimoto
from Teito Medical University.
Ah, Morimoto.
What brings you around here?
Dissecting the hepatic vein.
Mosquito pean.
Senpai, what's going on?
I guess no surgeon starts out as a genius.
What?
I was wrong.
Dr. Daimon wasn't just ordinary.
She was closer to being a dropout.
Her father got caught in a power struggle
against Totei University Hospital.
He was forced to close his clinic.
And he died, heartbroken.
She also got kicked out
of Totei University.
So how did she end up in Cuba?
Her father's best friend was at
Cubanacan University Hospital.
She honed her skills
under that surgeon's guidance.
She did one operation after another.
Pouring blood, sweat, and tears
along the way.
That's how
She became Michiko Daimon today.
The surgeon who taught her
Was it Akira Kanbara?
You mean to say he was a doctor?
Yes.
The one who made Dr. Daimon
who she is now
It was Akira Kanbara.
Hello.
There's a patient I'd like you
to operate on.
Congenital heart disease and paraplegia.
Tetralogy of Fallot addressed with
Rastelli and other procedures since birth.
But progressive heart failure
continued into adulthood.
That's right.
I knew you'd get it.
The patient's condition is getting worse.
These are the current test results.
Significant decline in cardiac function.
Kidneys are also deteriorating.
Can you take this case, Dr. Daimon?
It's pretty tough.
Even if we fix the
pulmonary artery stenosis
It won't keep the heart failure
from progressing.
Even basic tasks are difficult with the
left ventricular function at this level.
A heart transplant would be ideal,
but we can't wait that long.
What's this?
My brother's company developed it.
It's a total artificial heart
designed for full implantation.
Sadly, the patient's genetic risk
for infections makes them ineligible.
I see.
It won't be a permanent cure,
but it could lead to that.
What about opening the right ventricular
outflow graft to fix the pulmonary valve?
No, the graft's anastomotic site
has likely narrowed, too.
Then, replace the graft
and then reconstruct the pulmonary valve.
It's too risky.
The patient's had multiple surgeries.
Blood vessel adhesions are severe.
But
There's no other way.
This is the only operation I can't fail.
Listen.
There's no operation
that a surgeon can afford to fail.
Understood.
Dr. Daimon.
I'm counting on your help.
The sooner we operate, the better.
Let's do it at the patient's hospital.
Okay.
Okay!
Ah, I'm hungry.
- All the toppings for me.
- Got it.
- Another one with all the toppings.
- Got it.
It's been a while since I've had ramen.
Yeah?
Can I ask you something?
When you were studying in Cuba,
I heard you trained in surgery
under Mr. Kanbara.
Who told you that?
Is he the legendary surgeon
known as Doctor-X?
What's so funny?
'Cause
The rumors couldn't be farther
from what's real.
Here's the thing about Akira
He skims off our pay
while getting three full meals and naps.
He spends all day hanging out with cats
and playing mahjong.
And he's a cheapskate.
He's an old cheapskate.
Legendary? Zero!
Zero, zero. No chance.
Let me wolf this down.
Yum.
- This is really good!
- Thanks.
I'm home.
Eh? Those two aren't here?
That's a bummer.
Just when I made sure
not to buy non-alcoholic.
I guess it can't be helped.
What's happening? Help! Help me!
I'm scared! Help!
Who's there? Wait!
What are you doing? It's dark!
It's too dark!
Wait, stop!
Please stop it!
You can't do this! No, don't...
Surprise!
Happy 77th birthday, Akira!
What is this?
Guess I gotta celebrate with you.
You're 77 after all.
Don't mess with me.
I'm not 77 years old yet.
Hey, stop that. Look
You're 77 by the traditional count,
so it's your special birthday.
I'm still 76 years old!
76 is no different from 77.
There's a big difference!
That's a year off my lifespan!
Don't you remember?
"I don't think I'm ever gonna die."
You said it yourself!
Nonsense! Whatever I said before
- That's enough. Come on
- Hold still. You have to wear it!
- Please sit down.
- What's this about now?
- It looks tasty!
- Right?
- It'd be a waste not to eat the cake.
- I knew it!
- You old cheapskate!
- What? Hey!
- Don't you want some? Come on.
- Let's eat!
- Let's eat!
- Let's toast with drinks.
- Yes, a toast!
- Can't be helped
Boss, what do you think?
To cut production costs
for the cellular grafts
Shorten the culture period
after 3D bio printing.
- Be sure to keep it structurally sound.
- Yes.
So, what we should do
Mr. Kozu, please reconsider.
Without your investment, we'll go under.
Our staff will have nowhere to go!
We've been partners since the beginning!
I beg you.
Just give us another chance.
Please reconsider.
It was a decision based on
evidence-based AI analysis.
Please don't take it personally.
- Ms. Nakao, please
- Yes.
- Get this to the lab.
- Yes.
- Blood pressure still dropping.
- Emergency. Get the vasopressors.
Your brother's condition has taken a turn.
Takato
Hiroto.
Your brother is in a state of brain death.
Due to his severe systemic weakness
He fell into a deep coma this morning.
He is unable to breathe on his own.
His pupils are in a dilated state.
Takato?
Takato!
Takato
Why are you here?
I called him.
Dr. Kanbara was his attending physician
thirty years ago.
He knows you've been appearing in public
and acting as CEO in your brother's place
due to his declining health
for the last two years.
Sealing blood vessel. Switch here.
Yes, Dr. Kanbara.
Takato was born to suffer.
From the moment of his birth,
he'd endured constant pain.
He had to give up on his dreams.
For the last two years
He was bedridden
and hooked up to machines.
Unable to move.
Trapped in misery.
Because of your operation
Takato lived in t*rture for thirty years.
And now, he's dead!
You k*lled him.
You did it.
You k*lled Takato!
Hiroto.
Bring Takato back.
Bring back his dreams. His life!
Bring him back! Get him back!
Do it! Bring him back here!
Get my brother back!
I said bring him back
No luck again today.
So much for lucky Choshi
Are you alright?
Hey, pull it together!
Oh, this is bad Help!
Someone collapsed over here!
Excuse me. Where is Akira Kanbara's room?
This way.
- Akira?
- Akira
- Akira? This can't be true.
- Akira.
- Akira.
- Akira
He was found unconscious on the beach.
An ischemic stroke affected his brainstem
through to the cerebellum.
He remains in an unresponsive state.
He's still breathing on his own,
albeit weakly.
But he doesn't react when called.
- Akira?
- No, this can't be.
Akira? Akira
Akira
Akira
This can't be true.
Akira!
Akira?
Dr. Jonouchi.
Thanks.
Daimon.
She hasn't left Akira's side
this entire time.
I heard something
that's been bothering me.
When Mr. Kanbara collapsed,
it seems Hiroto was there.
He was with Director Kozu?
A nurse saw them heading out to the beach,
but something seemed off.
What do you mean?
- Dr. Daimon.
- Daimon.
What did you just say?
I didn't see them myself.
I heard it from a nurse who works here...
Daimon.
Dr. Daimon
As of today, the following
staff terminations shall take effect.
We request that the identified doctors
promptly reassign their patients.
Dr. Kenichi Nasu.
Dr. Tadaoka Neko.
Dr. Takashi Ebina.
- I knew it was coming.
- Dr. Susumu Izawa.
Dr. Takashi Umezu.
- They can't be serious
- They can't do this to you, Dr. Kaji.
Of course not.
Dr. Hideki Kaji.
This is awful for him What?
What?! Me?!
You sly punks! I'm a super doctor!
After everything I've done
for this hospital
Dr. Daimon, what's the matter?
What now?
So you were with Akira?
Why didn't you do anything?
If you had done something,
he could've been saved.
I suppose.
If he'd been treated right away,
he might've been saved.
Then, why didn't you do anything?
Why?
Why?
- Why won't you tell me?
- If you want to sue me, go ahead.
That won't bring Akira back
to consciousness.
Why didn't you help him?
Tell me!
Serves him right.
What?
My brother suffered for thirty years.
He's the patient I told you about.
I wanted you to atone for it
as the disciple.
Atone?
My brother and I
We underwent surgery while still inside
our mother's womb.
It was a rare case.
No surgical method had been established.
Laser surgery.
To coagulate placental blood vessels.
The surgeon in charge
It was Akira Kanbara.
Like you said
My brother never recovered
from his congenital disease.
While I could run around as a child
My brother couldn't even stand up.
Whenever I looked at my brother,
I ached with guilt.
We were born from the same mother.
But why did Takato suffer alone?
That's why you hate him?
Because Akira operated on you?
Kanbara took on an unproven surgery
to build a name for himself.
He saved one twin
and sacrificed the other.
That's not true. I'm sure of it.
My brother is dead
but that guy is still alive, isn't he?
Takato is a part of me.
I am a part of Takato.
If a part of you gets k*lled
You would do the same thing.
I'll make sure that my medical team
does everything to keep you alive, okay?
Don't worry.
I won't let Kozu lay a finger on you.
To think
Some brat is out to get us.
Taking revenge on us.
Times have gone rough, eh?
Akira?
You'll pass out
if you don't eat something.
What are you doing?
There.
When this face moves
That means Akira's legs are moving, too.
So that's what the doodle is for?
I thought maybe the face would smile.
Hey, smile!
Smile...
I said smile
Come on, smile.
Smile!
Just smile I said smile, Akira!
Smile
Please smile
- Have a good evening.
- Good work.
No press coverage on his brain-dead state.
Until the shareholders' meeting is over
Don't let anyone find out
about Takato's death.
Understood.
That's enough.
Excuse me.
There's a car on fire!
- Heart rate at 110, but it's irregular.
- Understood. Let's hurry.
Director Kozu?
- Was it an accident?
- The car he was in exploded.
Exploded?
There's no way he'll make it through this.
One, two, three!
Can you hear me?
- Oxygen supply now switched over.
- Understood.
Turning on the monitor.
Conducting physical check.
- I'll take over.
- Please.
Let me help.
- Get the line in.
- I know.
- Echo. Quickly.
- Yes.
Director Kozu,
IV line going into the left hand.
Daimon.
It's no use.
Right arm blown off.
Internal organs ruptured.
Possible cardiac injuries.
He left someone you love out to die.
Just let it go, okay?
Look.
He's still alive.
Hey.
What about Takato?
Takato? What do you mean?
- Director Kozu's twin?
- He's been brain-dead for 36 hours.
If his heart's still beating,
we might just make it.
Bring him here quickly.
Get him!
Okay, I'll call up the hospital in Choshi.
Please hurry.
Yes.
Takato knew he didn't have much time left.
He wanted to donate every organ he could
if his brother needed it.
Since they are identical twins,
the risk of rejection is lower.
Vitals?
Blood pressure 93 over 56. Pulse 65.
Administered noradrenaline.
He's stable for now.
Demon, are you sure about this?
Let's start quickly.
If you're ready, we're here to help.
- Where's the donor?
- Undergoing graft extraction.
- Liver removal complete. Let's move on.
- Yes.
Next is the arm.
- Michiko is waiting. Let's hurry.
- Yes.
Transplant sites will be
the right upper arm and liver.
We can't use his heart.
Let's fix the heart
before the grafts arrive. Scalpel.
For Michiko Daimon
This is like facing her mortal enemy.
Yes.
I don't know how she can take this
so calmly.
Surgery isn't always about saving someone.
Sir?
To cure or to k*ll.
Michiko Daimon holds the scalpel.
Suturing the cardiac wound.
Bring down my loupe.
- Mine, too.
- Yes, excuse me.
- 3-0 monofilament.
- Yes.
- Cooper.
- Yes.
Donor surgery complete.
Okay.
Liver extraction is almost done here, too.
Portal vein ligation complete.
Metzen.
I will follow.
Full hepatectomy complete.
- Attaching the graft. Scalpel.
- I'll take point on the hepatic vein.
This
It's a mark of Akira's operation.
- Like a river flowing constantly
- 6-0 polypropylene.
Repeat the basic techniques.
And perform a beautiful operation.
That is my ideal surgery.
Impressive as usual, aren't you?
Now, Hiroto can still be a surgeon.
What a relief.
Blood pressure crashing!
- We're losing him.
- Why?
- Defibrillator.
- Yes.
Here.
- Dr. Daimon, it's charged.
- Yes.
Clear.
No response.
Give adrenaline.
Got it.
Daimon.
You've done enough.
Cardiac arrest.
Daimon.
Dr. Daimon.
There's nothing more you can do.
It's the way of life.
You did everything you could.
Dr. Daimon.
You've gone above and beyond.
I'm sure Hiroto and Takato
would be at peace with that.
It's over.
Most importantly
No matter how difficult
the operation may be
Never give up on the patient.
Resume chest compressions.
Dr. Daimon
- Where are you going?
- Dr. Daimon!
Daimon!
Daimon.
Wait
Daimon, what are you doing?
I'm taking him to the OR. Help me.
What?
Hey, Daimon
What are you doing?
Look, just tell us.
Akira.
Mr. Akira Kanbara.
I will take out your heart.
What?
You can't be serious.
You're going to transplant
Mr. Kanbara's heart?
Daimon.
Daimon!
Mr. Kanbara?
Akira?
Sir, Daimon will...
- Ebina.
- Yes?
This is m*rder.
Stop it immediately.
- But
- Ebina!
Yes, sir!
Daimon, are you out of your mind?
Removing a patient's heart in this state
is ill*gal.
He's your mentor.
- Daimon
- Stop it!
- Dr. Daimon!
- Dr. Daimon, please stop
Don't you get it?
You'll lose your medical license.
- You won't hold a scalpel again!
- Let me go.
Daimon! What the hell are you doing?
Get out, all of you.
This operation is over.
Daimon.
I don't understand.
Why are you going this far?
To save this person.
Akira would've done the same.
I am certain.
This is what he would do.
I never fail.
Here!
It's alright
We need more medicines. Quickly!
I never fail.
That man is a t*rror1st! Don't save him!
He is still alive!
Let's go! There's no time.
Start the transfusion.
There are no more matching blood supplies.
At this rate,
he'll go into hemorrhagic shock.
What are you doing?
Find the bleeding point and fix it.
Yes.
Why did you go this far to save that man?
Our duty is to give everything we can
no matter who our patients are.
Understood.
You did well today.
He praised me at last!
Saying that you never fail
That's a nice way to reassure the patient.
I suppose so.
But I said it to reassure myself.
I tell myself that I won't fail.
The truth is
I feel nervous whenever I do surgery.
That's why I say it.
So you get scared, too?
That's right.
Okay.
I never fail.
Akira.
I won't fail.
Organ fitting complete. Declamping.
It worked.
Dr. Daimon
You really did it.
Akira
Daimon's going to lose
her medical license because of this.
I didn't see anything.
Sir?
Like I said
This operation never happened.
Cover it up.
Yes, sir.
77th Birthday Wish
By the traditional count,
it's my special 77th birthday
From now on, I'll take it easy.
Especially with the skipping.
I'll be a good, old retiree.
You know, Michiko
There's one last thing
I have left to do as a doctor.
Thirty years ago, I operated on
a pair of twin brothers in Cuba.
I want you to continue that surgery.
As medical care progresses
The day will come
when they will be cured completely.
I've always believed that.
You can do it now.
You've gone beyond me, your teacher.
No, in fact
You have grown
into a truly magnificent surgeon.
Michiko Daimon, you are my pride.
I never fail.
For thirty years
The younger twin Takato
has been enduring a lot of pain.
But that should soon change
for the better.
Dr. Michiko Daimon.
I'm counting on you.
Hiroto and Takato.
I leave them in your hands, okay?
I just thought you should see that.
Do I deserve to live?
Hiroto.
Isn't that obvious?
Are you stupid?
You absolutely have to stay alive.
For Takato's sake and Akira's, too.
When I was doing your operation,
I found surgery marks on you and Takato
from Akira's operation, and I knew.
To save both you and Takato
Akira did his best
and gave everything he could.
So now
You don't know if you deserve to live?
Don't you ever say that again.
Dr. Daimon.
Thank you.
Live.
Be well.
Takato.
Here's a melon.
Here's the bill.
Daimon,
are you going somewhere else again?
We'll miss you.
I might as well say it.
Demon
I love you.
Will you marry me?
- Bye.
- Okay.
Wow, I finally confessed
Hey, don't ignore me!
You didn't say you won't!
You didn't say it!
- Alright, alright.
- She left!
- Everyone, gather round.
- Come on, Dr. Kaji.
Let's see the bill.
- I'll open it.
- Yes.
One, two, three, four
Thirty thousand.
How cheap.
How unbelievably reasonable!
For the surgery performed by
Michiko Daimon and Hiromi Jonouchi.
This is the story
of a lone wolf woman doctor.
Today's vitals remain normal.
With Daimon's artificial heart transplant
You'll surely be fine tomorrow
and the day after that, too.
I'll wait for you.
We got your stem cells deposited safely
at the Cell Research Lab
for your brain cell regeneration therapy.
They're being cultivated there
successfully, you know.
Akira
Don't you think you've slept enough?
I wish you'd wake up already.
If you don't get up soon,
we'll spend every last bit of this money.
Did you just move?
You moved, didn't you?
No way! Ben Casey, did you see it?
He moved! Akira!
Good morning, Akira!
Wake up, Akira! Get up, Akira!
Wake up, Akira!
Despising the herd mentality,
authority and institutional restraints
Her solo weapons are her license
and the skills she has earned.
Surgeon Michiko Daimon.
Also known as
Doctor-X.
A woman?
A woman went to operate on me? No way!
Who do you think you are?
No time for this.
Off to sleep, Your Majesty.
Again?
I never fail.
Hope was at times cruel
An unfunny irony
Behind every possibility
The impossible lurks
A momentary image
Overflowing terror, terror
The fear that clings to me
Get out. Get out.
My unstable emotions distort my vision
At this rate
Falling down
Responding to impatience,
Burning up
Breaking down
The damaged barrier of my calm
Shut up! echoes in my head
Hurry up
Flash back
With resolve so fragile
That I couldn't even say out loud
I couldn't save anything
Get out of my way
I don't need an incomplete resolve
Throw away the weaknesses
Even if the hope is faint
I won't let go of this hand
But still, deep down,
I've always been afraid
Even so, with the words you gave me
I can fight
The weak version of me
is no longer here
Again and again, gracefully,
I'm coming back
No matter how tough the challenge,
I'll clear it
Yes,
as long as I hear your voice calling me
I don't care what stage I'm on
Again and again, boldly,
I'll show you now
No matter how strong the enemy,
I'll defeat them
I'll chant it as many times as I need
Failure is not for me
Episode X Ado feat. Ayase
Despair sometimes
gives birth to chances
Every time I fell
The wounds turn into scabs
And yet, as always
No matter how many times I cut into it
The bad things still wouldn't change
It's easy, isn't it? To just give up
But whenever that thought
crosses my mind, I remember
I always, always yearned for it,
Imagined myself like that
Yes,
as long as I hear your voice calling me
I can fight on any stage
I've always seen it
The future you and I
dreamed of together
A one-of-a-kind future, here and now
I won't let anyone interfere
This determination is mine alone
No one has the right to call the shots
For this restless world
Even on days when tears are swallowed
There is not a single wasted moment
Grasp onto the tiny bit of hope
that was scooped up
Hold onto it,
no matter how many times it takes
Connecting and bonding
That's how I have come this far
Together with you
Again and again, gracefully,
I'm coming back
No matter how tough the challenge,
I'll clear it
Yes,
as long as I hear your voice calling me
I don't care what stage I'm on
Again and again, boldly,
I'll show you now
No matter how strong the enemy,
I'll defeat them
I'll chant it as many times as I need
Failure is not for me
