01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

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 b*stard! 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 k*ll 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 a*s!

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 w*r 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 m*rder*r!

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 expl*sives 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."

They were all just empty words

we didn't want to hear.

It's just so unreasonable.

This world's so unreasonable and unequal.

So at least the value of life

has to be equal, right?

Excuse me

Sorry, I was at the cinema.

Watching Love Live!

I didn't notice you called.

Mako!

Ai

You were watching a manga?

- I wish you had told me!

- No, not a manga.

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?
