Attention please.
This flight is currently flying through some turbulence en route to Tokyo.
We would request that all passengers, please verify that your seat belts are in place and remain seated.
Erica!
Erica! Erica!
Excuse me, Sir, is something wrong?
Is there a doctor?!
Is anyone here a doctor?!
Are you a doctor?
Yes.
Doctor, will my wife be okay?
She's in a state of shock. I suspect a pulmonary embolism.
If we don't operate soon her life could be at risk.
Bring her to a hospital. Tell them prepare Bosmin and Protanol.
Right!
To treat an emergency patient, this flight will be redirected to the nearest airport, Incheon International in South Korea.
Get a defibrillator ready, immediately!
Strange, these symptoms are...
It can't be!
Keep quiet.
You will follow our orders from here on out.
Dr. Black Jack.
We welcome you, Doctor...
To our nation, Anryon.

At this ceremony celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of our nation, Anryon...
The great General Che Hyoku, his eldest son Admiral Tebyon and his second son Jongi have shown shown us their energetic faces.
They have arrived.
Let them in.
This is the governor of Anryon, General Che Hyoku.
You people get out.
You are a surgeon who makes the impossible possible.
Hearing your reputation, The General decided to invite you to our country.
We would very much like to have you treat The General.
If you do, we will let you leave this country unharmed.
Don't make me laugh.
I've no intent to treat the sort of self-righteous prick who would have me abducted.
Doctor...
I do believe you would be best to consider the position you are in at the moment.
General, be strong!
Hang in there, General!
I've given him a sedative so I think he should be asleep for a little while.
I do think we've done something terribly unfair to you, Doctor.
We couldn't allow the illness of the General who holds together twenty million people to be noticed by a foreign power.
To tell you the truth, many world famous doctors have been unable to treat The General.
It's a difficult case...
You must have some interest as a doctor, don't you?
Kan, explain for him.
I am his head doctor, Kan.
I will show you some data and medical charts on The General in my research room.
The General suffers from a type of brain tumour, a glioma. It's in its final stages...
To treat it, as usual, one must open the skull and remove the tumour.
In that case, providing anaesthetic becomes the problem.
The anaesthetic will produce an anaphylactic reaction...
The General's anaphylaxy is a strong allergic reaction to anaesthetic drugs.
There is the risk that the anaesthetic will put him into a state of shock which may lead to death.
We can not use any anaesthetic on The General.
In other words, we can not operate.
I understand this is difficult. The other doctors were all terrified and unwilling to even hold a scalpel.
However, we are out of time, Dr. Black Jack.
You are our last hope!
The General can't die yet!
300 million.
Also, my immediate release on completion of the procedure. Those are my conditions.
Glioma... A brain tumour.
In The General's case, because the border between the tumour and healthy cells is indistinct, removing it will be incredibly difficult.
Furthermore, his symptoms are in a fairly advanced state.
He has been subjected to radiation treatment twice. Further exposure may have negative side effects.
At this point, the only way to remove it is through surgery, but anaesthetic will prove an issue.
There is no pain in the brain. If I can open his skull I should be able to manage.
If I can remove the pain until it is open...
However, if I choose the wrong anaesthetic, there may be oxygen deprivation and a reduction in blood pressure.
The arrhythmia may lead to cardiac arrest. In other words, death.
I have prepared lodging for you at a nearby hotel.
Have no fear, I have arranged a powerful bodyguard for you.
One of your former patients is coming.
A member of the Radical Forces. Her codename is "L".
I see.
Black Jack has agreed to operate, has he?
As a condition, he says he wants you to stop smoking, General.
You want to order me around, Black Jack?
What did you do that day in the airplane?
I swallowed potassium cyanide.
Had you made even a little mistake, you'd be dead...
Doctor!
Speed up! Shake them off!
Yes Ma'am!
Doctor, are you hurt?
Yeah, I'm fine.
What happened?
Nothing to do with you, Doctor.
We were ambushed by Fanlon again?
I'm terribly sorry, Sir Tebyon...
Well then, what was the damage?
The warehouse connected to the Defence Factory has been half destroyed.
Military vehicles have been stolen and there are a number of casualties.
A large number of weapons have vanished and the flag of the Fanlon Liberation Army was found inside.
Raise the security on all military facilities to the maximum!
Don't let a single ant in!
Damn...! This happened as soon as The General's condition took a turn for the worse!
Is information leaking out?
Please, remain calm.
Almost the entire army is in the palm of your hand, Sir Tebyon.
You must remain calm and self-possessed in times like this.
Is it really like that?
If my father were to declare Jongi his heir...
There's no need to worry about such things.
The General's chance of survival is practically zero.
You need only wait for the time to come, Sir Tebyon.
I'll leave it to you.
As you wish, Sir Tebyon.
Occasional spasms are one of the symptoms of glioma.
I've given him some Valium.
Good work, Dr. Black Jack.
General, how is your health?
Tebyon!!
How long are you going to let Fanlon do as they please?!
I'm sorry!
I will capture the members of Fanlon as soon as possible and show the people what happens to those who defy our authority!
Please, wait! Won't you hear what I have to say?
Huh? What do you want to say, Jongi?
Father, you laid the foundation for our nation amidst the expectations of various foreign countries.
But the people are in despair!
Starvation has become common and the sense of despair has begun to spread rapidly among the troops as well.
Fanlon was created by rebellious elements amongst the people!
We have to deal with the root of the problem!
You're taking Fanlon's side?
No, I didn't mean it that way.
I've heard enough. Both of you, leave!
Brother!
I want to talk to you about something.
What is it?
If you become General, will you follow the same path as our father?
That goes without saying.
That won't work!
We'll be criticized by the international community and some day this nation will collapse!
Do you know what our father did when he first became General?
He had his siblings and political opponents transferred elsewhere...
Then executed.
I think we would be better off thinking about what's best for ourselves rather than the country.
Well, I'll be going.
I'm busy with the Fanlon Annihilation Operation, you see.
Once again, I read over the various methods that many great doctors had tried on The General in past.
There, I found one blind spot.
Electro-anaesthesia?
Yes.
I plan to use that to stop the pain when I open and close your skull.
There are past cases, but the results are uncertain.
At present, that method is not guaranteed to work.
At the point it became impossible to preform an ordinary operation there was already no guaranteed way of handling it.
You can't be telling me you plan to experiment on The General!
That's not my intention.
There is no way of operating without some risk.
My head's going to split!
L, please, do something about this headache!
So, there was something even the General who had terrified many small nations in the region could not control.
The effects of electro-anaesthesia vary from person to person.
First, it is necessary to make detailed observations about The General's vital signs.
Then, it was necessary to verify the strength of electricity to be used.
If the current is too weak the patient may go into shock.
If it's too strong, it may damage the patient's body.
In some cases, that could lead to cardiac arrest.
As such, It was necessary to determine the proper amount of electrical power.
This has become problematic...
If somehow Black Jack successfully treats him, The General will return to political life.
If that happens, the succession issue may disappear.
Before then, we have to do something!
I'll leave it to you.
Understood.
Can you really treat The General?
Yes, that is what I plan to do.
I want you to heal him.
No matter what it takes.
I'm sorry, are you alright?
A package was left here for that customer.
From who?
I'm not sure. They didn't leave a name.
Doctor, it's a bomb!
This bomb was from our military.
It's dangerous to stay here...!
Ow, it hurts...!
You'll be fine. It's not a bad cut.
Doctor, we're leaving right now.
That bomb was meant for us.
What?
The back exit is this way.
There they are!
L!
A separate military faction not controlled by The General is on the move!
Those who don't want you to operate on The General.
What?! Black Jack and L vanished after an explosion at their hotel?!
Yes. The hotel has been half-destroyed.
We haven't verified the number of wounded yet, but...
We believe there is no hope of them having survived.
Black Jack was...
Up ahead, there's an old military training camp.
Okay, I'll remove the bullet there.
All of the necessary disinfectants and antibiotics like penicillin are here.
Luckily, the bullet hasn't damaged the heart or major arteries.
However, her pulse and blood pressure have dropped and her body is heavily drained.
I must operate as soon as possible.
Doctor...
I will now remove the bullet.
But the surgical implements available here are limited.
This is going to involve a lot of pain.
I will bear it!
I still have things I need to do! Until then, I can not die!
I'm starting the operation.
To remove the bullet, I first have to cut with the scalpel to reopen the bullet wound that is beginning to close.
I wish I had a little more light...
The bullet has dug its way in quite deep.
I need to carefully remove it so as not to injure the arteries.
L! Hang in there! L!
Jongi... Will you not change your views on my political power?
I see...
With my body in this state, I have to think about what will happen once I am gone.
General, don't be so dispirited. There are still things we can do!
Jongi, I will appoint you as ambassador to Russia.
Get out of this country now!
Father!
Then, you mean, I will be...
Tebyon, I leave the rest to you.
I understand. I will accept only for as long as it takes your health to recover, General.
The hotel bombing was even more effective than we had expected.
I am making sure that L and Black Jack never appear before The General again.
And, tomorrow morning, we will set off the best fireworks to show the transfer of power to everyone inside and outside the country.
Fireworks...? Hey, wait, you're going to do that?
It will be fine. Leave it to me.
General.
That's cute. It looks good on you, Ajun.
Thank you, Mom.
Why?! Why me?!
Dad!
Dad!!
Let my wife go! Please, spare my daughter!
Dad!!
I was dreaming.
A nightmare that will never end.
When I was still young...
My family were tricked by The General into coming to this country.
My father, a scientist, refused to cooperate with The General and was executed.
My mother was always crying.
Crying that she wanted to return to our homeland, as a family.
Later, my mother was forced to become The General's wife.
She gave birth to a single son and died.
Why did you become a soldier?
When my mother was forced to marry The General, I was put in a detention camp.
But I escaped and joined the military.
In this country, there was no way for someone like me to survive other than as a disposable soldier.
At that moment, I cast aside my true name.
L was my code name in The General's forces.
I lived on, swearing vengeance against The General.
I won't let him die of illness.
I'll take my revenge on him with my own hands.
I will wait for an opportunity to go treat The General.
You were forced to come here and people are even trying to kill you.
Yet you're still willing to risk your life for a man like that?! Why?!
No matter who they are, to me, everyone is just a patient suffering from some illness.
And...
I am a doctor.
Due to The General's illness I will be handling all of his duties.
My orders are the orders of The General.
Our nation will now open the door to greatness and prosperity!
Complete this mission for the dignity of our nation!
Hail Tebyon! Hail Tebyon! Hail Tebyon!
Begin the test immediately.
Show the power of our new General to the world!
Hail Tebyon! Hail Tebyon!
Doctor, we should move.
What do you plan to do now?
I'll have you go into hiding for some time.
I need to gather information.
The spring is coming.
The birds are crying.
Birds?
There's an old legend that says when you hear these birds in the mountains spring is coming.
I could hear them too.
Is that so? You heard them too, Doctor?
You look happy.
There's more to that legend.
What is it?
Don't laugh, Doctor.
If you hear those birds with the person you love...
It means you will be bound together.
But it's just a worthless old legend.
Fanlon?!
L?! Dr. Black Jack?!
You two survived!
These people are my guests.
Everyone, lower your weapons.
Sorry about that.
I'll lead you to our camp.
What are you doing with the members of Fanlon, Jongi?
I am the leader of Fanlon.
Say, what?!
You're telling me Jongi is the leader of Fanlon?!
Right now, Fanlon is causing disturbances all over the city.
Arrest Jongi for treason!
Currently, in this camp we are protecting children who fled the city and people who have escaped from the detainment camps.
Just how grave the situation in this country is...
Just how much our people are suffering...
I wanted to show my father and brother that.
This morning, finally, my brother carried out a nuclear test.
If this continues, our country will be isolated internationally.
What?! Fanlon has broken through our defence line and they're advancing towards Labour Party Headquarters?!
Fanlon is demanding The General retire?!
Right now, half of the soldiers in this country are supporters of Fanlon!
It's only a matter of time until this country changes!
Take care of Dr. Black Jack!
Stay here, Doctor.
Make sure you don't move!
Jongi!
Hey! What are you going to do?!
There are still children back in the tents!
This is...
Jongi!
Jongi...
Don't die, Jongi!!
Doctor, save Jongi!
The artery is damaged. He's lost a lot of blood.
We need to give him a transfusion soon!
Jongi's blood is type O, Rh negative, it's rare.
None of the members of Fanlon here have it.
Of all things...
My blood is also type O, Rh negative.
Use mine.
But you've just injured your arm and chest.
If you give blood right now, you may die yourself from blood loss.
I don't care what happens to me!
I want to save my little brother!
Your brother?!
Body temperature dropping.
Blood pressure dropping.
There was a risk of infection but I decided to carry out the transfusion directly.
Mother...
He's confused due to the heavy blood loss.
Jongi doesn't know that I am his sister.
I have no intent of telling him.
I've done horrible things.
I really can't tell him who I am.
Even if something happens to me, I wonder if I will be able to live on inside Jongi...
Yeah.
L and Jongi had both stabilised after the procedure.
Doctor, thank you so much.
This is good bye. Take care.
You've helped me twice now, Doctor.
You're the one who saved Jongi.
I've done nothing but take the lives of others up until now.
Is this the first time I've saved someone?
You saved his life.
I want Jongi to keep on living.
Because he's my only remaining blood relative.
Doctor, for The General's operation... Let me assist you.
Black Jack? L?
You're far too late.
I've lost my grasp on everything.
I have nothing left.
Will you still treat me?
For me, you are still a single patient suffering from illness.
Based on the electro-anaesthesia simulation, we must finish the operation within 30 minutes or the anaesthesia will lose its effect.
Begin the electro-anaesthesia.
Right.
Vitals are stable. Sense of pain is okay as well.
I will quickly cut open his skull and remove the tumour which has formed on his brain.
The General is regaining consciousness.
Yeah.
The electro-anaesthesia is losing its effect. We haven't a moment to spare.
We have to struggle for every second!
The glioma is worsening!
It's invading the other nerves.
The operation is complete.
Doctor.
Good work.
Yeah.
You're going to shoot me?
When I saw you in the special squad a few years ago I knew immediately.
That you were Ajun.
You knew?!
You're the daughter of a woman I sought with all of my heart.
That's why I kept you by my side.
My father... My mother...
I won't forgive you!
Very well, shoot.
Stop!
Out of my way, Doctor.
I have to take my revenge on him.
I can't forgive the general who killed my mother and father!
Put this behind you and move forward.
Move!
L!
Those who oppose me are like germs.
They must be completely eliminated. As if surgically removing a cancer.
Isn't that right, Doctor?
She just wanted to lead a normal happy life.
Having her family stolen away and her heart frozen, she burned only with a desire for revenge against you.
I've never regretted anything I've done as a doctor more than what I did today, Che Hyoku!
I regret operating on you!
L! Be strong!
But the loss off blood from her abdomen was intense and the situation was already hopeless.
Doctor... I couldn't take the life you saved.
I... I want to see my mother's homeland.
I'll take you there.
Doctor, it's too late for me, isn't it?
You'll be fine. I'll definitely cure you.
You're an awful liar, Doctor.
I wish I could have been together with you longer.
It's quiet...
Almost as if... we're the only two people left in the world...
Doctor...
I'm glad I met you...
L, can you hear them?
Those birds are crying.
I'll show that heartless doctor for leaving me alone for a whole week without calling!
I'll clobber him! Clobber him! Clobber him!
Clobber him! Clobber him! Clobber him!
Doctor, you're back.
Yeah.
Honestly!
I was so worried about you!
News flash.
The civil war in Anryon which has raged for the past several days concluded with the capture of General Che Hyoku.
A complete victory for the Jongi Revolutionary Army.
The new government has accepted IAEA nuclear inspections and announced its intent to work towards becoming a new nation.
If you hear these birds with someone you love.
It means you will be bound together.
Kaeritsuita machi wa The town I returned to...
Omokage no kakera mo misezu Wasn't how I remembered it at all.
Garasu no jouheki ga zutto narande iru dake There was nothing but glass walls going on forever.

Ano hi nomikonda tsubuyaki ga For the whisper I swallowed that day.
Matte ite hoshii I want you to wait for me.

Eien ni kawaranai yasuragi wa tabi no kanata Unchanging, peace lies at the end of our journey.

But I'll be back again. But I'll be back again.
