You were looking for that all this time?
Yes
But not for that long...
You'll catch a cold.
Don't let that happen,
the hospital is already short of nurses.
I'm so happy!
You actually found Dandelions in this season.
Doctor
When can I start eating normally?
Well, it's just that...
I'm want to eat curry rice again.
Curry?
My wife makes delicious curry.
You know, I run a Yakitori restaurant.
Curry made with Yakitori sauce tastes especially good.
I really feel like eating it again...
You'll have to wait another week before you can eat it.
So just hang in there
and you'll be eating curry in no time.
Okay. I'll wait.
You're right...
These things can't be rushed, can they?
We should take things one step at a time.
That's right
But still...
When your body's on the mend,
you feel like you want to do everything!
Things like taking a walk...
I've already thought of where to go
The first place I'll visit will be...
Guess where!
Your restaurant?
Wrong!
It’s inspired by you...
That river bank where you found the Dandelions.
Will you take me there?
Of course
After you get well, I'll show you.
Did I do okay just now?
I'll...
I'll keep it up for next time too...
For the sake of Mr. Ishikura's smile,
you went and searched for Dandelions.
It was good of you.
Thanks
They picked the right place to bloom,
those Dandelions...
Underneath the open sky.

@Channel SMAP
Shimura, thanks for this.
No problem.
I'm going to do my rounds, if anything happens...
I'll know what to do.
I'll get it
Hello, this is Gyoda Hospital.
No, Naoe-sensei's not on duty tonight.
Can I help?
What? An Emergency?
Right
How much longer?
-Are you far? -No, we're nearly there!
Hello?
What's happening?
It's one of Naoe-sensei's patients,
they're injured and on the way here,
- Let's get ready - Okay
Should I page Naoe-sensei?
Let's assess the patient and decide then - Okay
Kobayashi-sensei
What's wrong?
They're at the main entrance...
- Main entrance? - Yes
Doctor!
- Where's the patient? - In the car...
She was stabbed... There's so much blood!
Ms. Usami
Are you alright?
Ms. Usami
Let's get her to operating room.
Ms. Usami, are you okay?
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Hello?
I'm going to move you from here.
- Get the gurney - Okay
Are you alright?
Ms. Usami...
Wait, wait, wait!!
What?
You!
You're not Naoe-sensei!
I'll contact Naoe-sensei later.
No way!
We specifically requested Naoe-sensei!
We don't have time for this!
Move!
Let's go
What are you doing?
We have to operate!
Naoe-sensei
Naoe-sensei...!
Quick! Save her!
Excuse me, I'll take over from here.
Take her to the consultation room.
What are you talking about?
The wound's deep and there's been substantial blood loss.
We need to operate.
Take her to the consultation room.
Hurry!
Yes...
Keep this to yourself,
I'll explain everything later.
How're you doing?
I'll take her blood pressure -Please do
I'm going to take your blood pressure now.
Are you okay?
Please tell me if it hurts.
I'm taking it now...
The doctor will be here soon, don't worry.
Doctor, please...
Can you... Can you save her?
Blood pressure - 80 mmHg
- Oxygen - Okay
Give her an oxygen mask.
I'm taking off your hat and sunglasses.
We're going to look at your wound.
Let's put this on to help you.
We're going to clean your wound, it might feel a bit cold.
Cream
Gauze
Help me...
You'll be fine.
- Let's get her to the operating room. - Okay
Be careful with her.
Yes
I'm going to fix on the mask.
- You go prepare the instruments - Okay
Doctor... Did you say operate...?
Although the wound is deep,
the intestines are undamaged.
Her life isn't in any immediate danger.
Are you feeling okay?
You're the only doctor she trusts...
But...
She'll need at least three days' rest to recover.
What? That long...?
I'll operate now.
Please leave us to it.
This way please
Sorry about all that.
Give her a blood transfusion
and no food for now.
Okay
Kobayashi-sensei
Toda Jiro, in the luxury room...
Can you move him back to Room 305 right now?
Right now?
It's the middle of the night.
He was originally supposed to be in Room 305.
Emergency cases take precedence.
They need to be put in the luxury room, right?
But...
Look at the time!
Can't it wait till morning?
The patient's name...
Is Usami Maiko
The actress Usami Maiko?
She had a quarrel with her boyfriend and he stabbed her.
If that got out, it'd be quite a scandal in the news...
Is that why she requested a particular doctor?
I'll inform the Chairman and Head Nurse tomorrow.
Excuse me...
Shimura
You're in charge of the patient in the luxury room.
Right
Excuse me...
You have a slight fever,
does it still hurt?
I...
Yes?
When can I be discharged?
The doctor said you'll need to rest for five days.
After that, you can be discharged.
But...
I can't stay for that long!
Get the doctor, bring him here now!
He'll be here to check on you later.
You can ask him then...
No! Get him here now!
Don't get so excited,
it'll only make you hurt more.
Get him now!!
He'll be coming soon, in just a little while.
Please stay calm.
Although having Usami Maiko at our hospital is something to be proud of.
However, because she is from the entertainment industry,
it might bring about some inconveniences for us.
Let's hope it will not cause too much trouble.
But isn't this a good opportunity, Dad?
In what way?
If you're only interested in making money,
it shouldn't make a difference if she was a politician or an entertainer, right?
If everything goes well this time,
we'll have a reputation for being able to protect celebrities and the like
which would widen our clientele, right?
A reputation for providing confidentiality...?
How do you think the nurse's will respond to these type of patients?
We can assign them a particular nurse and it'll be fine.
Doctor,
This troubled actress...
Are you confident you can deal with her?
As long as she stays in the luxury room
and none of the staff start gossiping,
there shouldn't be problems keeping it confidential.
I understand
I'll tell the staff to keep it under wraps.
- Are you fine with that? - Yes
Thank you
Thanks for you help.
Naoe-sensei
Does Toda Jiro still need to stay at the hospital?
He's Kobayashi-sensei's patient
So don't ask me...
I wanted a second opinion.
Does he still require further treatment?
As long as he can go about daily life normally, he should be fine.
Thank you
I'll use that as reference.
Mikko
About that...
Do you think Kobayashi-sensei would mind that?
Don't you think he might be a bit annoyed or something?
Sorry
Hey, hey...
Do you know where Naoe-sensei is?
- No... - Oh really...
Sorry...
Excuse me, do you know where Naoe-sensei is?
Isn't he on shift now?
I think his shift ended...
Where does he usually go?
Yes... Shimura?
Shimura, the luxury room!
- Hey? Go call Shimura... - Okay
Shimura!
Doctor
Naoe-sensei
The patient in the luxury room wants to see you.
Isn't it time for your break now?
I have to take care of Ms. Usami
and do all my other work too.
I don't have the time to come looking for you.
Doctor!
She can wait a bit more.
What's with the look?
I always look like this...
It won't hurt her to wait a bit more.
I'm... being discharged?
Well, there's no immediate need for you to leave.
But attending regular checkups
will cost you less than staying...
But, look...
I still get dizzy
and it's still painful...
Naoe-sensei said there's nothing to worry about.
Not him again!
He's always causing trouble for me...
He was the one who hospitalized me in the first place...
Thank you very much.
What's happening here?
Doctor, you came at the right time.
I... I just have something to discuss with you...
Doctor
I... Am I being chased out?
Let me look at that.
The luxury room shouldn't just be reserved for the wealthy.
Anyone should be able to use it.
A patient's social standing should be immaterial,
everyone's entitled to fair treatment, right?
There's the issue...
You're describing a hospital in the ideal world.
Is that wrong?
But, Dad...
Isn't it important for doctors to have such ideals?
I agree with him.
After seeing the patient for myself...
He did look like he was still in pain...
Ideals are wonderful things to have,
but remember, a hospital is still a business.
So as long as Toda pays, he can continue staying?
Of course.
But can he afford to pay?
I'll pay for him.
Doctor, could you think of a solution?
Her movie wrap party is tomorrow.
Can you let her out for a couple of hours?
In her current condition, it's impossible.
Yes... I know, but...
It's not a matter of whether I give her permission or not,
I'm honestly telling you, she won't make it in her current state.
You're so full of yourself...
This movie's my first starring roll,
I have to be there!
How can the star of the movie not attend the party?
Plus, if they find out that I was stabbed by my boyfriend,
my career would be finished!
I'd rather die than have that happen!!
Going will worsen your condition.
If you manage to force yourself to go,
the movement could reopen your wound
and cause internal bleeding.
If it's serious,
you may lose your life.
Even before you get to face the press,
you would already be dead.
Excuse me
Stop giving her painkillers.
But then... Ms. Usami...
If she's in too much pain,
she won't be able to attend the party.
You're such a nice person, Doctor.
But why...
Why are you so intent on helping Mr. Toda?
No particular reason...
Ah, is it because he's Shimura's friend?
What's this got to do with Shimura?
Nothing...
Please ignore what I just said...
Why did you say such a strange thing so suddenly?
Oh, Mikiko
Can I have moment...?
Is this the doctor in charge of Toda...?
What's up?
Nothing...
How are you doing?
Weren't you on night shift... Why are you still here?
Amazing
You even know the nurses' shifts by heart!
Aren't you observant!
It must be hard on you...
But you're so hardworking.
It's because I like this job.
Right
That's the most important thing, right?
I'll tell you what I really want now...
I wanna be at work, preparing yakitori for my waiting guests.
I bet your yakitori's delicious, right?
Well, of course...
It's been passed down through generations.
Listen...
I have something to ask you.
Yes?
You...
Has anyone ever said you look as if you have two sweets in your mouth?
Huh?
Well... It's just that...
Your cheeks always look slightly puffy...
Ah, not again...! Even you're teasing me about it!
Sorry...
But still, it's a good thing isn't it?
Your smile makes people forget their worries.
You really have the gift of being a great nurse...
That chubby little smile of yours.
I get it, but you don't need to keep focusing on the chubby part!
It's a good thing...
Alright... Now please keep quiet.
Eh? A cameraman...?
Yes
I came to Tokyo to study photography.
Mm... Is that so?
I want to become famous to prove to my Dad that I can do it.
But really... I don't think I have the talent.
I don't think I'll make it...
All human beings have their times of weakness.
That's why we need the help of others.
- Right, let's eat - Okay
Come in
Excuse me...
Oh, Shimura
Hey, Noriko!
Doctor
I heard that you're helping Jiro pay his hospital fees.
About the fees, I'll...
Hey you!! Why are you so short of cash?
I had to quit my job, so I'm broke now.
Doctor, I'll pay it through installments...
Well, if you're gonna do that, isn't it quicker if I just pay up front?
When you're well, you'd better get a job and pay me back.
Of course...
Don't believe a word of it!
And this... Here you go.
What?
I bought this, thinking you'd like it.
If you have any questions, just ask me.
- Doctor - Yes?
Thank you so much!
I will definitely pay you back for all this.
I'll be waiting for that.
Come in
Excuse me
Shimura, can I have a moment...
She's calling for you again.
Okay, I'll go
Ah... It's so hard on her...
You're still here?
Still working like you.
I just came from the luxury room,
she appears to have calmed down a bit.
Really?
Excuse me
Are you free after work?
Huh?
Even the river can have it's own expressions...
Expressions?
Well...
I'm good friends with the river.
Does that sound weird?
No...
Maybe it is a bit weird, right?
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Aren't you going to eat?
Yes...
But, after you...
Do you come here very often?
Occasionally
Is that so...
You like rivers?
Huh?
You said that the river was your friend.
Well...
When I was little and fought with my friends,
Whenever I started to cry, my Dad told me this...
"If you feel like crying, do it by the riverbank"
"The river will wash away your tears,
carrying them into the wide-open sea
until all your sorrows completely disappear."
So after that...
Every time I felt like crying, I would go to the river.
That's why...
I feel as if it were my friend.
I must be boring you with all this talk about rivers...
It always seems to be me doing the talking...
I like riding on boats.
When I was a student, I'd often ride boats.
Oh...
But it wasn't tears being washed away,
It was perspiration instead.
Yes, but...
I'm not someone who cries all the time.
Perhaps in your eyes,
I'm a weak and unreliable person.
Because with Mr. Ishikura and Ms. Usami,
I didn't do as well as I should have.
Have confidence in yourself,
you're a very good nurse.
Thank you...
You know...
Ever since I came to Tokyo, I've always been thinking about this.
Being able to lie down in the middle of the river,
looking up at the sky from the river.
I love that feeling.
If you take a boat,
you'd feel the exact same way.
Will you come with me?
Maybe after Usami Maiko is safely discharged.
That's a promise.
I'm home
You're back?
Why so late?
What are you doing?
I'm exercising
It's more important to exercise as one grows old, right?
Or else your body will gradually deteriorate.
Talking while exercising is so tiring.
Don't overdo it, you'll need some energy left for work.
You've been drinking?
Your face is so red
Only one glass, the rest was juice.
With who?
The other nurses?
Yes... That's right...
Very suspicious...
What is it?
It was just a drink with colleagues.
Your colleagues... A doctor?
No!!
Even more suspicious.
Come on, who was it?
I told you... Nobody!
The river is a friend...
What's this...
I don't know what they're writing about.
Could she be staying at our hospital?
Hurry up, pass it here.
I'm a big fan!
No, I'm next, pass it to me.
- Ah!! - What's that?
Hey!
- I bought that... - What?
I'm just taking a look, okay?
Why are you back again?
Why don't you tell him off!
[Usami Maiko Hospitalized] -What the hell... How did this happen so suddenly.
I'm really sorry about today.
No...!!
How could she be hospitalized?
I really don't know!
She's only down with the flu.
She'll be fine by next week.
Yes, thanks...
How are you?
Excuse me, what in the world is this?!
You promised this wouldn't happen!
What should we do?
The party's tomorrow!!
We'll be found out if she doesn't turn up!
- Stop it!! - But...
There's nothing we can do.
We have no choice...
It's my fault after all...
I wish it wasn't like this...
But there's nothing else we can do...
It's nothing major,
yes, but with the smallest slip
we could end up with a huge problem on our hands.
That's true, but...
She'll be out of here before any story blows up.
I hope that's true.
Doctor
I'm asking you this as a man.
Is something going on between you and the actress?
Sorry
Did I interrupt something?
No, it's nothing...
Do you have some secret patient staying in the hospital again?
Ms. Sayako
Please have some simple manners and knock on the door before you come in.
Mr. Chairman
There's no need to use that tone with me.
Aren't you going be a good doctor and introduce me?
I have to leave now.
Okay
Naoe-sensei
The medicine you ordered will be ready next week.
Okay
- Shimura - Yes?
There's a call from the luxury room again.
Oh, okay
Shimura...
She's got it tough, right?
What are you all gossiping about?
You can all confide in me, you know...
Careful!
Are you okay?
Shimura
I'm fine
Sorry...
Shimura must be exhausted by all this...
Yeah...
That room makes far too many nurse calls.
If it were me, I would have cracked up by now.
It's too much!
Can I come to your place tonight?
I'm on shift tonight.
How about tomorrow?
I have something tomorrow too.
Naoe-sensei
About Usami Maiko...
Aren't you giving her too much special treatment?
Why do you say that?
Even if she is in the luxury room,
that doesn't give her the right to make so many nurse calls.
Shimura's running round like a headless chicken.
You think I'm wrong?
A person who's working hard
is different from a person just running about aimlessly.
Am I right?
What?
Everybody has their own work methods, right?
Work methods?
Usami Maiko is just one patient in a hospital of many,
Shimura is not her personal assistant!
Shimura Noriko...
Is a professional nurse.
She won't let it get to her.
Not everyone is as strong as you!
Ah, ouch!
I've got some news.
Something no one else knows.
How much are you willing to pay for it?
Doctor
What's wrong?
I sprained my ankle...
I wanted to get some medicine.
Sorry...
Ouch~
I'm sorry about yesterday,
I think I was a little drunk.
Was the luxury room calling again?
Without the pain meds, she's suffering a lot.
She was crying and angry at herself.
I think I understand how she feels.
She really can't go to the party?
If she insists on going, there's no way we can stop her.
Keep an eye on her tonight.
Yes
I heard some rumors.
I'm sure you know something, why not tell me?
Sorry...
Do you know something?
We'll pay you for it.
I'm not allowed to say anything...
Wagata...
What are you doing?
Go do your rounds.
Right, sorry...
So, people do exist that go around hospitals poking about...
Can you please stop harassing the patients and just leave?
Oh, how adorable!
What are those for?
I'm placing them in the luxury room.
The media's been poking around..
Is she okay?
Maybe the flowers will cheer her up.
She's caused you nothing but trouble, yet you're still so nice to her!
Excuse me
Ms. Usami
Ms. Usami, what are you doing?
Please go back to your bed.
The media's on to us!
Hurry, let's get to the car.
Mr. Oba, hasn't the doctor told you? She can't move about!
Please! Just for one day.
We'll come straight back after the party.
- Please lie back down - Let's go
No!!
Ms. Usami, please go back to your bed!!
Get out of my way!!
Are you alright?
Don't touch me!!
If you go out now your life will be in danger!
Please forget about your work for now...
Go away!!
I won't let you destroy my life!
It's not only that...
Asking me to forget about my job...
You don't understand me at all!!
Not at all!!
I'm just wasting away if I remain here.
Ms. Usami
are you alright?
She’ll need a new I.V. and something to calm her down.
Go and prepare them.
Hurry!
Your hands are so warm.
Really?
That's one of the best thing's about being a patient...
Holding young ladies hands! I may get sued for sexual harassment!
Well, if you start crossing the line,
I might sue you.
Ah... That smile...
Your smile is a wonderful sight.
No matter what life throws at you,
remember to stay happy!
Thanks
Alright, Mr. Ishikura,
I need to leave now.
See you tomorrow.
I came to see the river.
Me...
Me too
I can't stand it!
I really can't stand it anymore!
I hate myself for being this way!
What in the world am I doing?
I can't do anything properly!
I feel so frustrated!!
I can hear the river.
Is this how it feels on a boat?
It feels even closer,
the river...
And the sky too.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we went on one now?
[Gyoda Hospital]
Hello, Shimura?
Ms. Usami...
Ms. Usami is missing!
Hello? Shimura, can you hear me?
Hello?
Shimura, are you there?
Through your eyes
You tell me the reason for your sorrow
Yet no matter how close we are
I can never understand your deepest thoughts
My Love
I call out in this dark night
My Love
I hear the call of a bird
Let me remain by your side
To watch over you when loneliness comes by
Those long and slender fingers
