AND I SAW A BEAST RISING OUT OF THE SEA HAVING TEN HORNS AND SEVEN HEADS;
AND ON ITS HORNS WERE TEN DIADEMS, AND ON ITS HEADS WERE BLASPHEMOUS NAMES...
AND THE DRAGON GAVE IT HIS POWER AND HIS THRONE AND GREAT AUTHORITY...
THEY WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON, FOR HE HAD GIVEN AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST,
AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE BEAST, SAYING,
"WHO IS LIKE THE BEAST,
AND WHO CAN FIGHT AGAINST IT?"
REVELATIONS 13: 1-4 NRSV
That was magnificent.
Yes. He was as skillful as ever.
The cerebral aneurysm was in a delicate location. It's amazing that
- he was able to clip it off so quickly. - Yeah.
That surgery was superb, Herr Dr. Tenma.
I realized once more,
what a brilliant surgeon you are, Kenzo Tenma.
No, I owe it all to you. Thank you all for your help.
The sun's high in the sky already...
Yes. That surgery lasted six hours straight...
You have no outpatients to see today, so rest up.
Hm?
What about Dad? What happened to Dad?
Herr Dr. Tenma
1986 Düsseldorf (Germany)
Come on. Wake up.
Wake up, Dr. Tenma.
Kenzo Tenma
Our roles are reversed.
Eva Heinemann
A princess like me should be the one waking up to a kiss.
Eva... You're here...
You forgot about our date,
- didn't you, Kenzo? - I'm here in Düsseldorf...
- Huh? - Liebert, the consultant to
- No, I didn't. - the East German Trade Commission,
who fled to the West from East Germany,
appeared before the press along with his family yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Liebert appeared to be in good spirits,
along with their fraternal twins.
The family will remain in Düsseldorf for a period of time
before moving to a home prepared by authorities here.
- I feel like I haven't slept a wink. - In other news...
Hey!
- No, wake up! - Opera singer Rosenbauch...
- The news is about you. - who suffered
a subarachnoid hemorrhage yesterday and was reported in critical condition...
seems to be recovering well after undergoing surgery.
Dr. Heinemann, Director of Eisler Memorial Hospital,
where the surgery was performed, just held a press conference.
Mr. Rosenbauch suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage
Dr. Heinemann
stemming from a cerebral aneurysm.
The surgery went as expected, and the clipping procedure
also went very well.
Mr. Rosenbauch has quite a large following.
What are his chances of a full recovery?
Yes, well, we will do our best to assure he will sing again.
Dr. Heinemann's surgical team has successfully completed
many difficult surgeries.
With this success, they have surely solidified their position
in our country's medical community.
That was wonderful, Kenzo.
That wasn't news about me; it was about your father.
That's true...
But that's because you did such a perfect job last night,
as part of Father's team.
I'm sure Father is grateful to you.
After all, you're the one who has boosted
the reputation of the hospital.
I'm the one who is grateful.
It's thanks to your father that I am able to work here in Germany.
Hang in there, Kenzo.
If you stick with Father, your future is guaranteed.
It won't be long before
Father becomes Chairman of the Board.
Then, you'll quickly become Chief of Surgery,
and in time, the Chief Director...
And then, I will be the Director's wife!
You must make me happy, now. Hardships do not suit me.
You want to go out on a date? Or...
Blood pressure, 128 over 64.
Spatula...
I will now scrape the pyramis.
As always, you did a magnificent job, Dr. Tenma.
Thank you.
Dr. Becker
Although... it seems you're not just good in surgery.
Huh?
You've reached the position of Head of neurosurgery
at such a young age,
and you're the favorite of
the Hospital Director and the Chief of Surgery.
What's more, you've even captured the heart of the Director's daughter.
W-What are you trying to say, Dr. Becker?
Sorry. I'm not saying there's anything wrong.
After all, a hospital is ruled by politics.
You do realize that you're being used by the Director, don't you?
The surgery you performed on that opera singer...
he acts like he performed it himself...
even holding a televised press conference.
Well, if he's using you, it just means that you are that capable.
If you become successful, don't forget about me, now.
I'll treat you to a drink next time.
Uh... Is there something you want to say?
You're Dr. Tenma?
Yes.
Bring me back my husband...
Bring my husband back to me!
You! Why didn't you operate on my husband?!
- Who are you? - My husband was brought into
this hospital earlier!
He got here before that opera singer Yet you made him wait!!
Huh?
You! They say you're the best surgeon in this hospital! Why?
Why? Why?
That day, I was...
about to start surgery on a Turkish man
injured in a construction site accident.
Dr. Tenma...
Yes?
You shouldn't be here. Get over to OR 1, quickly.
It's an order from the Director. Please hurry.
You... If you had operated on him, he would have been saved!!
- You... - Mama...
Bring him back to me. Bring him back!
...and then my friend and I fought over that dress.
They had only one in that size.
But don't worry. It ended up in my hands.
Hey, are you listening?
Huh?
Oh...
What in the world is the matter with you?
I looked at the patient's chart.
The surgeon who performed the operation on the Turkish man
was Dr. Becker.
Oh, you're still stuck on that story?
Clearly, it took them too long to begin treating that patient.
If I had performed surgery on him I may have been able to
save that Turk.
Don't talk about this while we're eating.
But, what would she have me do?
I was just following orders from the Director
when I performed surgery on that opera singer.
It wasn't my fault.
Isn't that right?
Of course.
After all, people's lives aren't created equal.
Oh...
Give him back!
Give my husband back to me!
...to me! to me!
Is that the mansion?
Yes. It was reported by a neighbor.
How many shots?
Five or six.
Who lives here?
Well, uh... It seems to be the residence of the Liebert family
who recently fled here from East Germany.
Wha? This is going to turn into a big mess.
Charge in at the count of three! 1, 2, 3!
This is bad...
What in the world...
S-Someone's there!
There appears to be one survivor. A girl!
A man and woman are dead! A boy is in critical condition.
I repeat. One boy is in critical condition!
An emergency?
A shot to the head?
Is that boy the only patient?
Yes. Both parents died instantly. It seems to have been a robbery.
Got it. I'll be at the hospital in five minutes.
Oh, Father!
I'm terribly sorry, Director Heinemann,
for keeping your precious daughter out so late.
What are you talking about, Tenma.
Eva is your fiancé, isn't she? How about coming in for some tea?
Have you notified your parents in Japan
about your wedding date?
Uh-yes... But my father runs a small clinic.
I'm not sure whether he'll be able to spare the time
to come all the way here to Germany.
Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him to enjoy
a leisurely overseas trip?
That's right. They'll be coming at our expense, after all.
Thank you very much. I am completely indebted to you, sir.
When you arrived here in Germany,
I thought you were a high school student, Kenzo.
And now you're the best among the young doctors
at Eisler Memorial Hospital.
By the way, Kenzo... That research you're doing
on cerebral vascular spasms after subarachnoid hemorrhages...
Yes... I'm creating a model of a subarachnoid hemorrhage in a dog.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to cancel that research.
What?
I have been asked to speak at the next
European Medical Convention.
I want to have you compile my manuscript.
Oh, but... my research is just about completed...
But, I tell you, there was quite a scene today...
What happened, Father?
A suspicious group of people forced their way into the hospital
and began clamoring about that operation on
the opera singer the other day.
They claimed we delayed treatment of an injured Turkish man
who had arrived earlier than that singer.
They're completely wrong about that. That Turk was operated on first.
There was nothing wrong with our procedures.
Isn't that right?
Uh, yes...
Those guys have the mistaken idea
that doctors are volunteer workers, or something.
We are scholars, first and foremost. Isn't that right?
In any case, I want you to work on my manuscript.
I have high expectations of you, Tenma.
Uh, thank you very much...
Damn!
- The patient? - He was just wheeled in.
How is he?
Blood pressure, 72 over 50; pulse 137.
The bullet went in through his forehead...
Have X-rays done immediately.
Yes, sir!
Oh, Dr. Tenma!
Who's this girl?
She's that boy's twin sister.
Any injuries?
None.
But she seems to have sustained serious psychological shock.
What is it?
Kill...
Dr. Tenma!
The X-rays and CT scans of his head are ready.
All right. I'll be right there.
It entered the front of the head...
and stopped deep in the brain.
Yes...
This is going to be difficult.
Huh?
The bullet is touching the left middle cerebral artery.
I see. Dr. Tenma is right. This is going to be very delicate.
If you move the bullet even a little,
the artery could rupture, causing massive bleeding.
I'm sorry to be late.
Dr. Becker!
You're supposed to be on duty. How could you be so late?!
We'll do a full frontal craniotomy of the frontal region,
remove any bone fragments and contaminated brain matter.
We'll then carefully remove the bullet
and finally repair the damaged blood vessel.
It will take some time, but let's do our best.
Blood pressure 120 over 80; pulse 92. He looks good.
The anesthesia has kicked in.
Dr. Tenma...
Yes?
You should not be here. You are needed at once in OR 1.
The mayor... Mayor Roddecker has suffered a cerebral blood clot.
He's being transported here by helicopter.
They're scheduled to arrive in 10 minutes.
Then please contact Dr. Boyer.
There's a possibility of arterial occlusion.
If that is the case, you will perform the operation.
But I was just about to begin surgery on that boy.
It's an order from the Director.
Yes? This is Tenma...
Oh, is this Tenma? Take care of the Mayor, will you?
I have contacted Dr. Eisen and Dr. Boyer, too.
That should give us added insurance.
But, Director Heinemann, I am about to begin another operation.
Let Dr. Becker handle that one.
Huh?!
With all due respect, the patient I am about to operate on
has a bullet up against his left middle cerebral artery
and it could turn into a very complex surgery!
But I am confident I can do it.
I'll let Dr. Boyer take care of the Mayor.
Only I can perform the necessary surgery on this boy!
Tenma... Whatever the case, I want you to do all you can
to save the Mayor.
The Mayor has promised this hospital a huge increase in subsidies
in the next review of medical facilities.
We can't have him die just yet.
So I want you to do this. I'm counting on you, Tenma.
Yes...
The Mayor has arrived on the heliport.
After the CT scans are done, do an angiogram.
Pinpoint the site of the thrombus occlusion.
Get ready now, Dr. Tenma!
We're counting on your genius abilities.
Those guys have the mistaken idea that doctors are
volunteer workers, or something.
We are scholars first and foremost Isn't that right? Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
I was just following orders from the Director
when I performed surgery on that opera singer.
It wasn't my fault.
Of course.
After all, people's lives aren't created equal.
Give him back to me...
If you had operated on him, he would have been saved.
Give my husband back to me!
Give him back! Give him back! Give him back! Give him back!
Give him back!!
What's the matter, Dr. Tenma?
I... I have a surgery to perform in the other OR.
Huh?
H-Hey, Dr. Tenma!
It's the Director's order!
The Mayor is undergoing a CT scan now.
Doctors, you are needed immediately in the reading room.
All right.
Wait, Dr. Tenma!
Dr. Tenma!!
Don't worry. Just hang in there! I will save you!!
Kill...
Downfall
