I've already thrown everything away. To take revenge on every single person
who drove my father to his death.
Stored inside that vacation home are files concerning everything about you.
If Bandai bought this vacation home...
First thing he'll do is get rid of that incriminating information.
I'll try to avoid everyone's eyes and take Yuma out to the vacation home.
How come you keep on talking about the vacation home?
It's because I want to take a walk with you.
Isn't that reason good enough?
- How do you feel about him, Asumi? - Nothing especially.
That was too bad about Hyuga Sensei. I heard his body was found this morning.
- Catecholamine? - It's a drug that quickly increases blood pressure.
If a patient with dieulafoy lesion takes it,
the artery in the area around the lesion will burst,
and cause excessive bleeding.
Bandai made my father take catecholamine
and bleed excessively.
Bandai's
a killer with a doctor's facade.
Miura Naoko
Employee Name Miura Naoko
Position Operating Room Head Nurse
Nitta-kun, size 7 and a half gloves for me please.
Miura-san, she's the doctor who will be observing the surgery today.
I'm Mizuno Asumi. Pleased to meet you.
10 sheets of gauze. Surgical drape.
Yes, they're ready.
BP is dropping. 60 over 40.
Give me gauze. And suction. Hurry!
Why...
Bleeding from the root of the left gastric vein.
Apply the hemostat and close it with 4-0 proline.
The part that flows into the portal vein burst. If you don't suture it, the tear will get bigger.
Phew, we made it. That was close.
Don't come in here with your mediocre knowledge.
- Who does she think she is? - She's not known as Iron Woman for nothing.
- Iron Woman? - Oh, didn't you know?
She's competent but totally unsociable. That's why she's Iron woman.
Miura Naoko. If this note is true, she's the one who got the catecholamine.
How is she connected to Bandai?
I don't know that yet, but...
Tomorrow will be a better day.
His condition changed suddenly during surgery... I'm sorry.
You said he'd recover in no time.
Your father's the scum of the earth.
That's a lie!
...it doesn't change the fact that she's one of the people who drove my father to his death.
I'll make sure she atones for her sin.
I understand how you feel, but...
Hyuga's death was caused by a drug.
You can guess who did it, can't you?
If our true identity gets found out, it's all over.
Be careful.
- Yuma. - Yes.
Why were you at the vacation home with Mizuno Asumi that day?
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry I couldn't introduce her to you properly.
Or rather,
we haven't actually started dating yet...
I'm asking you why you were at the vacation home.
That's because...
she insisted on seeing Hyuga Sensei's vacation home.
Why?
She wanted to see Hyuga Sensei's art collection.
Asumi.
I need to talk to you for a minute.
About Yuma Sensei.
During that trip the other day,
where did you and Yuma Sensei go?
About that...
I'm going to confess my feelings to him.
Asumi, I'm counting on you for your support.
Why don't you have a drink too?
Your son's a very popular guy.
I just happened to see
Mizuno Sensei and the nurse, Hoshino-san,
fighting over your son.
I thought she didn't look familiar, but apparently that's because that doctor called Mizuno
just started working at the hospital this spring.
Date Sensei forced the patient into signing the consent form...
We're covering up the fact that the new drug was what caused his condition to worsen?
Is she just an immature chit of a girl, or is she...
I guess I'll have her checked out.
Apparently, the two of them meet there once in a while.
What's their relationship?
She's probably his mistress, huh?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
What's more, Miura's been a head nurse for more than 15 years.
If she wanted to, she could get drugs without anyone's knowledge.
Be it catecholamine or whatever.
A press conference is planned later today.
Moving on to the next news. A week has passed since
the body of former attorney, Hyuga Makoto-san,
was discovered in Shibuya, Tokyo.
The suspect is yet to be identified, and
MPD is continuing its investigation of his friends and acquaintances...
It's scary, isn't it? This incident.
Cause of death is cardiac arrest due to potassium chloride.
Apparently,
they found a needle mark on his thigh.
A human life can be easily taken with just one drug.
We medical professionals
have to make sure we handle medications with care.
It's the doctors' job to deal with medications, isn't it?
Nurses merely get them ready as instructed by the doctors.
I heard you were close with Mizuno Sensei.
You mean Asumi? Well, I guess so.
I want you to tell me about her.
Her personal history, personal relationships,
anything.
Excuse me, but...why do you want to know that?
I heard Mizuno Sensei's been
following my son around.
I'd like to ascertain whether she's a suitable partner
for my son or not.
7F Department of Neurosurgery/Brain Surgery
Miura Yukihiko-sama
Miura?
Name: Miura Yukihiko Age: 48 years old
Persistent Vegetative State
Length of hospitalization 15 years 6 months
15 years...
That explains it.
Visiting someone at this hour?
I have the night shift tonight.
When I passed by a little while ago,
I saw you going into that room.
Is Miura Yukihiko-san
your husband?
I was surprised.
When I saw his medical record and found out that he's been hospitalized here for 15 years.
I thought this hospital's policy was to transfer patients requiring long term hospitalization,
so I was wondering why.
I don't need to answer that, do I?
- Hello. - Takagi-san's condition took a sudden turn.
It's postoperative strangulated ileus. Hurry over.
You and an intern are the only ones available right now.
- Miura-san? - I was called in because they're shorthanded. Hurry.
Takagi Shiro-san. 68 years old.
We will perform an emergency surgery on postoperative strangulated ileus.
Scalpel.
There's a much larger area of necrosis in the small intestine than I expected.
DIC has occurred. Pulse rate is up to 160.
BP is dropping. 80 over 50.
Saturation is on the decrease as well.
Stop daydreaming.
That hesitation is taking away the patient's life.
Clamping the strangulated intestinal tract.
We're going to cut open the mesentery and perform a ligature of the blood vessels.
Excuse me...
Thank you.
Not a bad job. On your surgery.
I found Miura Naoko's name in a news article from 15 years ago.
Elevator accident?
The accident occurred 6 months before Osanai Sensei passed away.
"Miura Yukihiko-san was critically injured while protecting his wife, Naoko-san."
So that's why Naoko's been going to visit her husband every day.
But don't let sympathy get to you.
The fact that he's been able to stay at this hospital for 15 years
goes to show you that she's dependent on Bandai's power.
I know.
I'm going to get closer to her
and try to probe the truth.
You know, today
something good happened.
The lilies of the valley in the courtyard finally flowered.
They were planted in an area that doesn't get much sun
so I was worried that they may not bloom, but
they produced these really cute flowers.
Suddenly,
I felt like praising them
and telling them "Good job."
Maybe tomorrow
I'll take a picture for you.
Okay?
Mizuno Sensei.
Are you visiting someone?
Yes.
But they were busy, so I'll come again some other time.
- What's that? - It's for Kenta.
He hasn't been doing well lately and there are days he can't get out of bed.
Miura-san. Are you all right, Miura-san?
Excuse me.
Do you know Mizuno Asumi-san who lives above here?
There's something I'd like to ask about her.
Oh, are you perhaps Asumi's friend?!
Huh? Oh...sort of.
Really? Is that right? Come on in. Please, come in.
So what about Miura Naoko?
She's resting in her room right now, but...
it doesn't look like she comes back here very often.
She must stay at the hospital most of the time.
I see.
You think you might be able to find any leads?
I'll try looking after this.
Sorry to trouble you.
Don't you have any relatives or anyone who can help you?
If I did, I would've asked long time ago.
I guess there was a time I had friends.
A long time ago.
My friends and my husband's friends...
At first, lots of people came to visit him at the hospital.
Every one of them sincerely sympathized with us.
As they left, they all promised
to come visit again.
But
none of them ever came again.
I don't blame them.
Who'd want to believe that such an unfortunate thing
actually happens in this world.
But you know,
there's one thing I still believe like a fool.
"Tomorrow will be a better day."
What?
Nice phrase, isn't it?
"Tomorrow will be a better day."
A doctor I respect a lot used to say that all the time.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
Miura-san, is that person...
Where did you meet that person?
At the department I worked before.
So you didn't always work in the operating room?
After my husband's accident,
I asked for a transfer to the operating room where I didn't have to work overtime.
Then, your previous department...
Sorry I took so long.
The convenience store was so far.
Did I buy too much?
Asumi eats here all the time, but she never compliments my food.
- Really? But it's really good. - It makes me sad.
But I'm just thrilled.
This is the first time Asumi's friend came over.
- Really? - Yes.
You're so happy, your nostrils are about to burst.
Don't worry. I applied oil on it so it won't burst.
But you know, she always has this look on her face, so
I was afraid people might misunderstand her.
Oh, let me get you more wine.
Misunderstand her...
She has such a nice father, she won't deceive me, will she?
- Did you say something? - No.
I might've misunderstood her too.
- I think I'll leave for today. - But she should be back soon.
That's okay. Thank you for the food.
Has Professor Bandai
ever said anything about Miura-san?
No, nothing in particular...
I see.
Are you that curious about my father?
I mean...you're always asking about him.
I'd like to ask you something too.
That is...
about the time we went on that trip.
I'm curious what your intention was.
No, never mind.
It's just that my father asked me, so I just thought I'd ask.
- Professor Bandai asked? - Yes.
He keeps on bugging me why I was with Mizuno Sensei.
Seriously, it's not like I'm a kid.
Please forget it. I'll just tell my father...
You can tell Professor Bandai
the truth, I don't mind.
My feeling is...
probably the same as yours.
Sorry I'm late.
Is something wrong?
No.
Miura Naoko and my father
probably worked in the same Pediatrics Department.
She said
she respects my father.
So how did she come to cooperate with Bandai?
Her husband has a disorder of consciousness.
He's in the so-called vegetative state.
Hospitals usually kick out those patients saying treatment's done, and
welfare facilities deny them, saying they don't have adequate medical equipment.
Consequently, in most cases, they have to receive care at home.
But for Miura Naoko, who doesn't any have relatives,
taking care of her husband while working is impossible, right?
Bandai took advantage of that.
I hear the hospital wants to release your husband.
But the really tough times are yet to come.
You won't be able to find a place that will take him.
You'll have to quit your job to take care of him at home.
Eventually, your savings will be exhausted, and
in the end,
you'll start getting evil thoughts.
What do I do...
I have a good idea.
She had no choice but to obey Bandai.
As long as her husband's held hostage,
Naoko probably won't speak up.
But in order to get to Bandai,
we have to get Miura Naoko's testimony.
We're at a dead end, huh?
The possibility's still there.
It seemed to me that
she trusted my father, Osanai Takao.
What?
Surely,
you're not planning to tell her you're his daughter, are you?
That woman's connected to Bandai, you know.
If she finds out that you're Osanai Sensei's daughter...
It doesn't necessarily mean she'll tell Bandai.
Hey...
since when did you turn into such a trusting person?
She may appear to be a good person, but
in the end, she's only looking out for herself.
What's more, her husband's being held hostage, you know.
There's no way she'd help a complete stranger like you.
Good morning.
Yesterday,
after we talked, I thought about something all night.
To tell you the truth,
until now, I wasn't confident about a lot of things.
As a doctor, and
as a man too.
But for you,
I thought I might be able to change.
So I want you to trust me.
I'm going to be
a strong person who can protect you no matter what happens.
Then...I'll go first.
Is this Toto Medical University?
I'm Hoshino from Seirin Medical University Hospital.
The thing is, a graduate of your university,
a doctor by the name of Mizuno Asumi, caused a problem here
and I'd like to find out how she was during her intern days.
Is there someone I can talk to?
Yes, class of 2009, Mizuno Asumi.
There's no such person?
Miura-san.
Sorry for causing you trouble the other day.
There's something I want to ask you.
15 years ago,
you were in Pediatrics, weren't you?
Huh?
Do you remember
Osanai Takao Sensei?
No, I don't.
I'm sure you do.
He's the pediatrician who died of a questionable cause.
You know about it, don't you?
Who do you think you are? A detective or something?
Or are you trying to be a champion of justice?
Don't ever
talk to me again.
Say, Asumi...
do you enjoy deceiving people?
About Yuma Sensei,
did you think I didn't notice?
You were lying to me.
You knew how I felt,
but you were betraying me all along.
Ah, I see...you were looking down on me because I'm a nurse.
I have pride too.
When I made an inquiry at Toto Medical University,
there was no record of an intern by the name of Mizuno Asumi.
Could that be...
falsification of record?
You seem to have a very interesting past.
He's the pediatrician who died of a questionable cause.
You know about it, don't you?
Anything unusual happen?
No.
Make sure you don't say anything unnecessary.
I know.
Isn't it amazing how people can be kept alive with just a tube?
But in order to get to Bandai, we need to get Miura Naoko's testimony.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
A doctor I respect a lot used to say that all the time.
Surely, you're not planning to tell her you're his daughter, are you?
She may appear to be a good person, but in the end, she's only looking out for herself.
There's no way she'd help a complete stranger like you.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
I have to remain silent.
In order to protect you,
I have no choice but to remain silent.
There's something I want you to hear.
I told you don't ever talk to me again.
My name is
Asumi.
It's written "tomorrow (asu) is beautiful (mi) and read "Asumi."
My father gave me the name.
"Tomorrow will be a better day."
That was
my father's favorite phrase.
I'm
Osanai Takao's daughter.
It was immediately after my father died.
I received an envelope from an anonymous sender.
I don't know who sent it.
But from this record,
I found out that my father died of a medical error
which was subsequently covered up.
For 15 years since then,
I lived thinking only about taking revenge.
In order to do that, I became a doctor,
and changed my name.
During the course of my investigation,
I learned that my father didn't die of a medical error, but
but that he was murdered.
That clue was in
this note that Attorney Hyuga left behind.
My father died because of the drug Bandai had you get.
I want to prove that.
Do you know...
what you're saying?
If...
- Professor Bandai finds out what you just said... - I know.
In the worst case,
- just like Osanai Sensei and Hyuga Sensei, you'll be... - I'm fully aware of the consequence.
Get out.
No matter what,
I need your testimony.
If you won't leave,
I'm calling Bandai right now.
Just get out!
You
won't call Bandai.
You
haven't forgotten about my father.
What are you talking about?
- How can you say... - The pocket watch you're always looking at.
When you're alone,
you were always looking at this pocket watch.
Inside the cover are engraved the words,
"Tomorrow will be a better day."
You were looking, not at the time, but
at the words engraved here, weren't you?
For the past 15 years, sustained by my father's words,
you've been taking care of your husband.
Miura-san, you can have this.
No matter how hopeless the situation may appear,
something is sure to change with time.
Don't rush it.
Find something to be happy about every day, no matter how small,
and live one day at a time.
If you can do that, tomorrow
will be a better day.
For my father's sake,
please lend me a hand.
That's not fair.
To identify yourself as his daughter
when you know everything.
It was the day after my husband's
long-term hospitalization was decided that Professor Bandai contacted me.
The e-mail said,
"Get me some catecholamine by tomorrow. But don't leave a record."
That's what was written.
I gave him the catecholamine as directed.
I was too scared to ask him what he was going to do with it.
The next day, Osanai Sensei passed away.
That's when it finally
dawned on me that I made an irreparable mistake.
But I couldn't tell anyone.
I was terrified
of losing my husband.
Do you have anything
to prove what you just told me?
I do.
National University Corporation Toto Medical University
Professor Bandai's e-mail
was sent to my cell phone from a hospital PC.
I saved that data
on an SD card.
Then...
Come meet me in front of my apartment at 6:00 tomorrow morning.
I'll leave it to your discretion to use it as you please.
Thank you.
This,
I'll give it back to you.
Wait.
All this time,
there's something I knew I had to say
if I ever met Osanai Sensei's daughter.
I'm sorry.
For taking away your precious father,
I'm truly sorry.
That watch,
please take good care of it.
I think that's what my father would've wanted too.
Osanai Asumi
Hello.
Miura-san.
It's Mizuno.
Miura-san's no longer at this hospital.
Both he and his wife transferred to a hospital out in the countryside.
Too bad for you, huh?
Osanai...
Asumi Sensei.
