I don't know how to say this but... At the moment
I rather look at you in front of me than the fish.
- What are you doing? - Nothing...
Do you have a cavity? Let me have a look at it.
Thats not it... Hey stop that!
What are you guys playing around for? A patient is waiting.
Alright.
Both your blood pressure and blood sugar level are normal.
- Thank you very much! - But please don't go easy on yourself now.
This hot weather is going to go on for a while. If something would happen to you
then all your employees would get into trouble.
- Momota-san, you are a shacho? - Please don't say it like that.
I am just running a small screw factory by myself.
Huh? I thought you had some employees.
- How long ago are you talking about. - I am sorry...
I think it is better if you would get your screws in your head tightened a bit.
Huh... What is that? Do you think you are being clever?
That is so lame. I think there is some screw
- loose in you. - Alright, stop right there. We are still examining a patient.
Don't you think that Baba-sensei is also relieved in heaven?
That a eccentric sensei came here.
When I heard that you were being treated badly
I didn't know how this would work out~
- With "eccentric" does he mean me? - Most likely.
I am still being treated badly.
I am just trying to get through it every day.
That's my line.
Oh! I saw Tetsuo-san the other day.
He was singing in front of the station. He seemed like he was trying very hard.
I don't know what he is doing... I also have no interest in knowing.
Hi there! Are those 2 late again?
I wonder if they have any desire to do this.
Shokichi is babysitting because his wife had to word suddenly.
Again? Oh man! What about Ryuta?
He quit... He is apparently becoming a full time employee at his work now.
What? I didn't hear anything about that.
- I'm sorry but I will also quit. - What? Why?
Another band asked me to join. It is a band that is serious at becoming big.
- I am also serious about this band! - We are already 30!
- We don't have much time anymore. - Hey... Wait one moment!
We promised each other that we would become big together, didn't we?
- What do you think I can do by myself? - Take over your family business or something.
What is that? Are you telling me to just start making screws.
I am not the kind of person that is going to do such a boring job!
I am not such a low life like that. Right?
I am sorry...
You must be kidding me. Go do what you want!
This is quite something. You point out the flaws that the community health care system carries.
I am very happy that you have grown so much as a journalist.
When chairman Shirane is back
I will show him this and introduce you to him.
Thank you very much.
It's been a half year since the chairman come here, isn't it?
Yes the creation of the hospital that belongs to our group in Osaka has finally settled down a bit.
It is a great support to me if he is here because he is someone that understands me.
So for you to set up the community health care unification network system
he is someone that you absolutely necessary, is that right?
That is correct.
Momota!
Hey, Shirane!
It's been a long time. When did you come back?
Just now. I wanted to see your face first.
Oh, this is a souvenir.
Is it alright that the chairman of a big hospital
came to a screw factory that is about to disappear.
Hey, are you by yourself here?
Yeah, I don't have the luxury to employ anybody.
This place is going to finish in my generation anyway.
- How is Tetsuo-kun? - As usual.
Tetsuo-kun really loved you when he was small.
He always said that he wanted to become like you
and make this factory big.
That was a long time ago.
How is your health? Are you making use of our place?
No, your place has become so grand lately that it's too big of a hurdle for me to go there.
I have been going to the Baba clinic.
- The Baba clinic? - Yes.
I heard that they were closed because Baba-sensei passed away.
A new sensei came. He is a bit strange but he is good.
He is called Jumbo.
- Jumbo? - Yes.
- Tsuruta Masayoshi? - Yes. Do you know him?
Well... It was for a short time but... he used be at our place.
How is it? This has been written by this Satonaka Reiko-san
who looks at it from an objective view as a journalist
and analyzes the community health care unification network system.
At the moment this many middle to small medical institutions
are requesting to join this system.
- What about the Baba clinic? - Mr. Chairman, do you know
in what kind of situation the Baba clinic is in right now?
It's Tsuruta Masayoshi. That guy is the head of the clinic.
- So I hear. - You knew about this?
Yes. When I was greeting the locals I heard about it.
That guy hasn't change at bit from the past.
He hasn't changed at all from 12 years ago when he took the life of your wife.
It is disappointing to me that I have to talk about that guy before the 12th anniversary of your wife passing away.
There are things that I need to know because it is the 12th anniversary of my wife passing away.
You look like you want to ask about the thing that happed 12 years ago.
The story that Tsuruta Masayoshi is a murderer.
Where are you going?
- Just going... - Having lunch outside?
Yes, it's nice weather so I thought it would be good for a change.
- You have been going everyday lately. - It has been nice weather every day.
- Is that so... - I will go then.
Greetings to Kurahashi-kun.
She is making lunch everyday. It's so nice that she is still so young.
I also had a time that I was like that.
- I will be back before the afternoon examinations. - Are you going out?
- By Chikusa-san? - Yes...
It seems that she figured it out... Oh but
it's not something that I need to hide anyway.
- Chikusa-san will misunderstand these things. - Misunderstand?
Well... that you and me have... a special relationship.
I don't mind if she would misunderstand.
- I was worried the whole time. - About what?
That I was missing the feeling that a normal person has.
That I didn't have the feeling to love someone.
Because I only have interest in fish.
But I figured out that I do have those kind of feelings.
By meeting you.
Thank you.
I didn't do anything. And by thanking me...
Hello... What?
I understand. I will be right there.
I am sorry, I am called by the fishery cooperative I will eat this later.
- I will call you again. - Alright.
Good afternoon.
- Oh, you are the medical journalist. - I am Satonaka Reiko.
- Thank you for the other day. - Don't mention it.
Is Tsuruta-sensei doing alright?
- Yes... He is actually doing too well and that bothers me. - About that Tsuruta-sensei.
- I wanted to ask a few things about him. - Alright...
What are your thoughts about Tsuruta-sensei being responsible for the death of a patient 12 years ago?
Tsuruta-sensei.
What do you mean by... being responsible for a death?
Oh, you didn't know that Tsuruta-sensei was a murderer.
Jumbo-sensei a... murderer?
Every year, 1 week before the date that my wife passed away
someone would always offer flowers to her.
Gypsophila.
I figured out that my wife liked Gypsophila just 2 years ago.
I might have not known anything about my wife.
That is why I don't know how my wife thought about you.
Tsuruta-sensei, please tell me.
If the actions that you took 12 years ago were correct...
Or if...
Oh, you didn't know that Tsuruta-sensei was a murderer.
Tetsuo-san?
Are you alright?
Tetsuo-san? Are you alright?
What is the matter? Who is this guy?
- What is it! - Um...
Oh, um... This is Momota Tetsuo-san.
He is the son of Momota-san.
- Is he drunk? - It seems like it.
Tetsuo-san? Can you hear me?
There is nothing wrong with me so just leave me.
We are going to transport him!
Oh, you didn't know that Tsuruta-sensei was a murderer.
- Where are you looking? - It's nothing...
- Contact his family just in case. - Alright.
What is wrong with Tetsuo? Is he sick? Is he injured?
He seems to have been drinking quite a lot.
Drinking? Why would he be drinking at this time of the day...
Well... I also don't know that.
I don't care what happens to that guy. Just throw him out somewhere!
I don't know what to do if you telling me to throw him out somewhere.
Oh really, you told Baba Asuka what happened 12 years ago.
Yes...
That wasn't nice of you to tell her.
The Baba clinic would get into chaos now.
I am sorry that I went against your will.
But I decided that as long as she is working under Tsuruta-sensei that she should know about this.
You have a point there.
The fact that a medical professional that made a big mistake 12 years ago
is working as a town doctor like nothing has happened.
I can not stand there and do nothing as a journalist.
- So? - I will impeach him with the power of the pen.
So are you saying that you are going to expose the scandal that Tsuruta-sensei caused 12 years ago?
Yes.
What will happen to me as the person that was his superior?
Tsuruta Masayoshi didn't follow the orders of Tenryu-sensei.
As a result he caused great damages to Shirane general hospital.
That means that you are one of the victims.
We need to make chairman Shirane realize that fact.
You are right. So that means that I have an obligation
- to talk to you in detail what happened 12 years ago. - That is correct.
- Huh? Where... - You were passed out drunk at the shore.
Is that so... So I drank too much. I don't remember a thing.
Momota-san, we called your family just in case.
You called my parents. Why did you do that.
We had no other choice as to do so.
You shouldn't have...
- You seem to have pain in your stomach. - My stomach? This is nothing.
- Maybe you have a stomach ulcer. - What?
- That might also be the reason that your facial complexion is so bad. - A stomach ulcer?
You have been putting your hands quite often around your stomach.
That is because it hurts, right? If the affected part is bleeding
you get an anemia and your face gets pale. Like you are now.
You are here now anyway. Have it looked at with a gastrofiberscope!
That is alright. In case it would be a life threatening disease
then that is just my fate.
I will leave this earth as someone that couldn't leave a mark in history.
So that means that I was just that kind of guy.
I don't know what kind of guy you are.
I am saying this because I want to make money. Just go along with it.
Why should I...
That Tsuruta-sensei is a murderer.
- Did something happen? - No.
You are looking at Jumbo in a strange way.
Really? It is as usual.
Is that so... If nothing is wrong then that is alright.
- Um... - What is it?
Chikusa-san, you have been quite close to Jumbo-sensei for a long time now, right?
Well, yeah.
Then you know quite a lot of things of Jumbo-sensei, right?
At least more than you. What about it?
I don't know anything...
I don't know anything about Jumbo-sensei after he left here 12 years ago.
Like why he changed so much...
What is with you all of a sudden?
I heard some strange rumor...
- What is going on? - It's nothing.
- What is with her? - No idea.
How does it look sensei? Did you find something?
I can't say anything about it yet.
So this means that you didn't find anything, right?
I thought that would be the case. It means that I am not a person
that would die in such a place.
- Come here again in 3 days. - What? Why?
- I will have an pathological examination done just in case. - A pathological examination?
We are just going to send the tissue that we collected during the examination to a inspection institute.
It takes 3 days for the results to come in from that examination... Come no matter what.
Alright, I understand.
I am back.
Tetsuo... I was worried. Are you alright?
I just got drunk for a bit and fell a sleep. It's not such a big deal.
Is that so... If there is something wrong with you
then let's have it examined at Shirane general hospital.
Shirane-san, the chairman, is a friend of your father.
How old do you think I am?
I am just 30. There is no way that I will get a illness.
You guys should be the ones to worry.
You are right. Your father and me
- are both not young anymore. - That is right.
Listen Tetsuo... For the sake of your father and me
could you not consider taking over the factory?
Please don't say such a thing.
Are you telling me to live a life like that man?
You want me to make screws with hard labor that is not going to make much money in the end?
I would like you to have more believe in the potential of your own child.
I still have a long life to live.
- A murderer? - Yes...
She said that Jumbo-sensei is a murderer...
He apparently caused the death of a patient 12 years ago.
And to think that I became a nurse because I looked up to Jumbo-sensei.
I wanted to become a nurse so that I could be a help to him...
- Is that so? - That is when I was a child.
But I don't know anything of Jumbo-sensei.
When I was a child he was a very kind person.
I wonder why he became like this...
I don't know anything.
But you believe in him, right?
Yes...
Then don't keep pondering it and ask him personally.
That is right... You are right. Thank you.
You have been cheering me up all the time.
That goes both ways.
Alright!
Um... Sensei! I have something that want to ask you.
Just like I thought...
I can't get in contact with him and he is also not at home.
What is the matter?
The result came in from the pathological examination of Momota Tetsuo.
Hey you are too loud, I can't hear anything. Shut up!
Oh, I'm sorry. There is this idiot that is quite old already...
He is singing so badly.
Hey! Hey there... Stop right there!
Hey who are you calling an idiot!
I will be a bit late. I will be there once I took care of this idiot.
- I was just playing here. - This is not a good place.
- Let's go over there! - Stop it...
- Shut up already! - Just come along!
Who are you!?
A doctor. And he is my patient.
If you hurt him even more then I will just have more work at my hands.
Hey stop kidding around!
You!
You!!
Do you still want to continue?
I won't forget this...!
What good will come from an idiot going against an idiot.
What do you want from me?
Didn't I tell you to come in for the results of the examination?
You have "scirrhous stomach cancer".
- Stomach cancer? - Regular stomach cancer
will make an ulcer at the part of the stomach that is dented.
But "scirrhous stomach cancer" is when small cancer cells will start spreading.
In most cases it has already spread to other organs because it is so hard to find in the first place.
That will complicate things.
Complicate... What do you mean with complicate things?
What... Am I... going to die?
At the present moment I can not see where it has spread to.
But we might find it once we operate.
There might also be places where it has spread to that can not be observed by the naked eye.
It is the best to have an operation to have it removed from your stomach as soon as possible.
So I am going to die... I am going to die, right?
Why... Why... Why do I have to die!?
I haven't don't any of the things that I wanted to do.
I was about to start living my life...
There is no way that my life will end like this...!
- Please calm down Tetsuo-san. - How can I calm down when I am told that I am going to die!
You cancer will not go away by you going wild!
Shut up! Then do something about it now!!
This is the bill for your stomach cancer treatment. It is 500 thousand yen that is your own expense.
- 500 thousand... - Prepare this money if you want to be saved.
That amount of money...
If you don't have it then you should have your parents pay for it.
Isn't this strange?
You don't have to talk about money to him in this situation...
That is because it is the most important part.
Is that the most important part? That is just wrong...
- Stop it already. - Because you say those kind of thing
people misunderstand you and strange rumors start spreading!
What are those strange rumors?
Well... that is...
Answer me.
That Jumbo-sensei caused the death of a patient 12 years ago...
That is a lie, right? I won't believe it.
Is it true?
Jumbo-sensei...?
Yes... It is true.
So it is a true story? What is the meaning of this?
What good is it if you would know?
Are you saying that you might leave this place and go away from Jumbo?
- That is not the case but... - Then...
Don't inquire into unnecessary things.
- Mom... - Welcome back.
- I have a favor to ask you... - What is it?
Could you somehow get me 500 thousand yen?
500 thousand yen!?... There is no way that we have that amount of money.
How much do you think that your father makes by making 1 screw?
- 0.20 yen. - If I... don't get 500 thousand yen...
I might die... I have cancer.
- Stop with saying stupid things like that... - It is true. I don't want to die...
Stop it already! If you really need the money
then give me a good reason for it. I can get you 30 thousand
that is what I can get you.
I am telling you that I need 500 thousand yen. I have cancer!
Are you not embarrassed to tell you parents such a lie!?
It is not a lie! It is true!!
How many times did you deceive us like that?
- This time it is true! - You also said that many times!
Tetsuo!
Welcome!
Sorry that I am late.
They serve some rare fish here~
I asked him...
- The rumor was true. - Is that so.
But he didn't tell me more than that.
Both him... and Chikusa-san.
Oh man... What am I to them? I am not being trusted at all.
I thought that they started trusting me because I worked so hard for it.
But that was not the case.
I am a person that is not needed after all.
I can't become a person that is needed.
I am starting to loose confidence.
Why am I even trying so hard to work under that guy?
I don't have to endure it anymore, right? I am sure that my father
also doesn't want this for me... It's alright already.
Then you should quit.
You should just quit.
Kurahashi-san...
Welcome!
Asuka-chan! What are you doing?
Is this seat free? Was that guy that just left
sitting here? It's alright, isn't it... I will just sit.
Thank you for waiting!
Alright then. Cheers!
- Mi-chan, I'm sorry. - What. - I will go home.
Sorry.
- I am someone that is going to die! - Mister!
I am someone that is going to die anyway. You could just
let me sleep for a little bit...
But... You will be bothering the other customers.
Can't you treat me a little bit nicer!
You guys are the same as the Baba clinic!
The Baba clinic is terrible. They are the worst.
I am going to die from cancer... But they won't let me have an operation.
Why do you thing that is? That is because... I don't have any money.
Jumbo from the Baba clinic is saying to me to just die...
He is saying that a poor guy like me should just die!
He is a money hungry doctor. He is a murderer!!
You are wrong!
Jumbo-sensei is not an murderer!
Tetsuo-san. He is trying to help you also!
Oh hey everybody!
This is a nurse that is part of the murderer doctor!
What about it! You also think that I should just die anyway, right?
- How about it! - Hey stop it!
Asuka-chan!
- Are you alright? - I am alright...
- Hey wait! You need to pay!? - I will pay!
I will pay for him.
I won't forgive you... I will never forgive you.
You murderer! Don't show yourself in front of me ever again!
- What are you sneaking around for? - It's nothing.
- What is this... Give that to me! - Thank you.
What happened?
Are you still bothered about what happened 12 years ago?
That is not it. I just met Momota Tetsuo just now.
- You met him? - Yes.
It seems that he was quite messed up because he couldn't prepare the money.
Does that mean that his parents are not going to pay for it?
It seems like it. It seems that their relationship is not that good.
You can't just sit there and do nothing, right?
"Don't be arrogant as a doctor and patients need to be together with their family"
Yeah...
Oh, you didn't know that Tsuruta-sensei was a murderer.
Good morning.
- Let's go! - Where to?
- You are a nurse, right? - Yes.
If a doctor asked a nurse to come along then there is only one place to go to.
To a patient.
He is the son of a friend of the chairman?
Yes. I heard that once.
I thought it was good that you heard about this.
That was a good decision of you Misawa-sensei.
- Who is it? - I am a doctor!
- What? - Tetsuo is here, isn't he?
Oh... Asuka-chan! What is going on!?
It seems that you haven't received the medical costs yet.
What!? Medical costs... So is he really?
- Yes he has stomach cancer. - What!?
He will die like this.
Sensei... I will pay you the money afterwards
so please help me.
How much of an spoiled kid are you.
You have no determination because you have been living off of your parents until now.
You only have pride and no money at all.
- There is no hope for you! - Hey, you don't have to say that...
- Let's go. - What?
There is no other way than to ask your father for the money.
It is impossible to get it from him.
He doesn't listen to me at all.
He doesn't care what happens to me.
Who's fault is it that he is not listening to you anymore?
You have been living off of such a father for the past 30 years.
You were being kept alive by him. All you have to do
is live off of him from now on again!
- Come with me! - What...
Hey you! Tetsuo really has cancer.
He needs 500 thousand yen for the medicals costs!
We won't know how bad it is until we operate on his stomach.
It is an cancer that spreads fast. Time is of the essence.
He will be admitted right away and will get operated tomorrow.
Please prepare 500 thousand yen as the medical fee for an emergency operation.
You got that disease because you have been living such a careless life.
What are you saying!
Alright then. I will not be helped by you!
Don't talk like you are all grown up because you can't do anything by yourself!
You don't know the value of 500 thousand yen in the first place!?
I will give you the money but you should do a dogeza here right now!
Dogeza... Do you think I am going to do that...
Do you not know how to behave when you ask something from someone!?
It's alright already!
Sensei...
I don't want to die.
Would you allow me to take care of Tetsuo?
What is import is not just the will of the patient but also that of the family.
If you would have known that you wouldn't have made that mistake.
If you are going to attack then we will defend.
