So I thought of it a lot,
then I realised my own feelings.
U...
Tachibana...
There you are!
You two are here already?
Excuse me! Keep on bringing it!
Don't worry about it.
I'm going to the supply room.
Okay-
Oh, morning.
Good morning.
He was definitely going to tell me how he felt.
That moment was wasted!
Oh, I knew it. That's what was going on.
Wham'?
I'm sorry, we interrupted you.
No, it's okay.
But that means your feelings are mutual.
That's it! Our feelings are mutual!
What am I going to do?
Oh, my, she's depressed, then she's excited. She's a lot of work.
I lost my timing.
"Nurse Station"
I'm back.
- Good job. - Thank you.
Saito, what's going on with the thermometer?
I collected them.
That's fast, thank you.
Saito, what's going on with Ms. Okimoto in room 305?
I took care of it when I was in her room. The total is 1600.
That's great. Thank you.
What? You're done sorting through the worksheets?
Yes!
That is great!
Saito is amazing! As expected from a guy I like!
Hey, Tachibana, where's the log for food intake?
I forgot to make it!
What? Are you kidding?
Then please use this.
What? Are you sure? When did you make this anyway?
I made it when I had time.
Thank you.
You're taking an extra step here.
Not at all.
You are good.
I want someone to make a brochure for a health clinic.
Could you do it, Saito?
You did a great job with the ward map the other day.
- Yes! - Thank you.
I lost.
You can't compete against him with work.
Can I ask you to do the treatment plan too?
Can I ask you to do the survey too?
What? Then could you do the nursing plan too?
Of course.
What? There is another newbie nurse here, you know.
Okay, it's going to sting a little.
Okay!
How was it?
It hurt a little, but I think it's okay. It was a success.
Thank you.
You've gotten much better.
Yes!
I'm capable if I try...
When you drew blood, it didn't hurt at all, Saito.
I know! It was the same for me too!
Saito, I want you to do it next time too.
Yes.
Hey, Saito! I think you improved your skills again.
Thank you.
He's way ahead of me here too.
I need to do better!
I brought the extra IVs.
Thank you.
I brought three boxes!
Tachibana, we only needed two boxes.
I'm beat.
What happened, Tachibana?
Nothing.
You tried to compete with Saito and failed.
You don't need to compete.
Right, everybody has their own strengths.
Yes.
By the way, both of you have been with us for almost three months.
It's time to submit a newbie evaluation report.
There's such a thing?
Of course there is! The trainer is going to evaluate the newbies.
They explained it when we were assigned there.
You'll be fine. Both of you are working hard, right?
Thank you very much.
By the way,
Ms. Shiraishi who was released this morning said
that at first, she was resistant towards a male nurse,
but since Saito was so great, she changed her perception.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm glad.
That's nice. I want a patient to tell me that too.
Saito is popular with male and female patients.
And he's liked by patients of all ages.
Oh, not at all.
I want more male nurses to come work for us.
I've lost completely.
What?
Nothing.
Tachibana, you are working hard too.
Mr. Fujimoto who got discharged yesterday spoke highly of you.
Really? What did Mr. Fujimoto say?
Let's see, when he sees Tachibana, it's fun and he doesn't get bored.
That's not praise.
- It is praise! - It's best to be fun!
Another one!
You know, it's nice to drink with everyone once in a while.
I think I drank way too much keeping up with the others.
I'm off tomorrow, so I guess it's fine.
Oh, that's right. You too are off tomorrow.
You are too, head nurse?
Our days off don't land on the same day that much.
I'm the one making the shifts,
but I can't mix work with pleasure and match our days off.
Right.
You know, if you don't have any plans,
since we are both off,
how about a lunch date?
A lunch date? That's great! Let's do it!
Oh, really? I'm glad.
Let's meet up somewhere then.
We've never done that before.
You are right about that. That's kind of embarrassing.
Yes, I'm embarrassed.
There's a place I want to go to.
I drank too much because of you, Saito.
Why is it my fault?
It's my business.
Oh, well, it's fine. I'm off tomorrow.
What? You too?
- You too, Saito? - Yes.
What a coincidence.
You're right.
You know, do you want to go somewhere tomorrow?
"Do you want to go somewhere tomorrow?"
It's definitely a date!
Oh, do you already have plans?
We can do that.
Where do you want to go?
Why don't we both think about it for tomorrow.
Okay-
What's up with that fun homework?
"Four Seasons Shiomi Dorm"
Our very first date on our day off.
He will definitely tell me he likes me today, right?
Our very first
lunch date.
I'm already 34. What am I getting excited for?
Calm down. Calm down.
But, we'll have lunch
and it won't be just that, right?
Zoo sounds good.
A picnic is nice too!
Well, amusement park seems great too.
My underwear is good!
MY makeup is great!
- Let's g0! - Let's g0!
Morning.
Good morning.
Where's head nurse?
It's his day off today.
Oh, I see.
Mihara too?
Yes, she's off too.
I see.
Could it be...
Tachibana and Saito too?
Those two have their day off too.
Then about now... I see.
- Ono is off too-- - That's not relevant.
What is it Dr. Yagira?
Well, a really hot...
summer is here!
- Hot? " Okay!
Okay!
What was that?
He's here.
I'm greeting my man. I feel a bit shy.
Coming! Morning, Saito.
Morning.
Can I come in real quick?
Well, actually...
What's the matter?
They came all of a sudden.
They came?
This is my co-worker, Tachibana.
These are my parents.
Hello.
Saito's...
Parents?
"Nurse in Action!"
"Ninth episode"
Thank you for waiting.
Please sit.
I'm sorry for being late.
It's okay,
I just got here too, so don't worry about it.
This is kind of new.
Yes, we only had lunch at the hospital cafeteria.
Right.
Excuse me.
That's right. Mihara, here. What do you want?
It looks delicious. What do you want, head nurse?
You know, could you stop referring to me as "head nurse"?
Oh, you're right. It's a habit.
Then...
Home'?
Yes, that sounds great.
Then could you stop calling me "Mihara"?
You're right. Then what should I do? Natsumi?
You are Natsumi, so Natchan?
Oh, stop, head nurse!
I said it again.
So you came to Tokyo for your relative's memorial service?
Yes, but I'm glad.
I called Hikaru since we didn't want to spend the night
and just go home,
then it happened to be his day off.
I see!
It's ready.
Wow, this looks delicious, don't you think?
What? This is ready like this?
It's ready.
It hasn't solidified yet.
This is how it is.
Let's eat!
Let's eat.
Was it okay
to drag Tachibana around on her day off?
Oh, we were planning to go somewhere anyway.
Then, was it a date?
A date? It's not...
Does that mean that you two are dating?
- No! Not yet! - No! Not yet!
You two seem to get along.
It must be nice to do whatever you want in Tokyo.
You go on a date with such a cute co-worker on your day off?
Cute? Well, I'm not that cute...
I have it tough staring at the ledger every day.
I have it tough at work every day too.
That's nice. Nurses supposedly don't lose their jobs.
You chose a good profession.
You don't really think that.
You stare at the ledger? What's your job?
Oh, we have a small Japanese style inn in lzu.
An inn? Really?
You never told me that.
You never asked.
It actually has been established for 70 years.
Hikaru is our only son,
he left the country in a hurry.
Could you speak in that sarcastic tone?
Our inn is proud of hot springs that's directly from the source.
That's incredible.
How about you and Hikaru coming to visit us sometime soon?
Yes!
The two of us? At an inn?
That's bold!
Thank you for waiting.
- Oh, wow, it looks delicious. - Right.
Excuse me.
What? He ordered a special lunch and not the curry...
Oh, I'm sorry. I will exchange it right away.
No, no, it's fine. This looks delicious too.
But...
It really is okay. I will have this.
I am so sorry.
Are you sure? It took you so long to decide.
Yes, it's fine. If I think of how she would be scolded later,
that would bother me more.
Head nurse, I mean, Honjo, you sure are kind.
Kind? Not at all. Let's eat.
- Yes. Let's eat. - Let's eat.
It's delicious.
This is delicious too.
- This is delicious. - I know!
Hey, what do you want to do after this?
Oh, what should we do?
If you like, do you want to go to the movies?
That's great! I have something I want to see!
Oh, really? I have something too!
Could it be that?
It has to be that.
Right?
- Damengers. - Roman Public Holiday.
What? What did you just say?
Damengers. What (M you say, Home'?
Roman Public Holiday.
We didn't match.
Let's go see Roman Public Holiday.
I wanted to see Roman Public Holiday. Yep!
Oh, really? Then let's...
Wow, it's really high. I wanted to come and see it once!
Are we really climbing such a high thing?
Of course! We are here! Let's go! Hurry!
Hey, are you and your father always like that?
He was against me coming to Tokyo.
That's what it is.
I'm sorry to put you through this,
but if it was the three of us, it would have been more awkward.
You saved me.
Don't worry about it.
Saito has it tough too.
Hikaru! Tachibana! Let's go!
Okay!
You are sweating. Are you scared?
No, it's not like that.
Maybe I ate too much. My stomach is--
Oh, no, are you okay?
What's the matter?
Does your stomach hurt? How does it hurt?
No, it's fine.
Honey.
You're not fine. Let's go to the hospital.
- Should I call an ambulance? - Well,
it doesn't seem urgent, so let's take a taxi.
Okay-
Dad, can you walk?
Yes.
Oh, I'm Saito, the nurse in the surgical ward.
My father is experiencing a sudden abdominal pain.
Could you see him? Yes. It's upper abdominal pain. He feels nauseous.
Thank you.
Tachibana, go in first. Mum, ride in the front.
Could you take us to Shiki General Hospital, please.
I'm going to loosen your belt.
Are you okay?
I'll unbutton it.
Are you in pain?
That was great. I was so touched.
It was really good. That last scene when--
Hold on. Oh, no.
- Oh, no. - He's crying.
You know,
she thought he was dead, but they reunited...
Here, use this please.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry. I got it dirty.
It's fine.
Thank you.
"Voicemail"
Did something happen?
Saito's dad had abdominal pain and now he's hospitalised.
- Saito's father? - Yes.
The pain you had is from your ulcer.
An ulcer?
However, we found a tumour with an endoscope.
We are waiting for the pathological exam results,
but I think that tumour is most likely malignant.
Malignant?
- Malignant-- - Listen carefully to the doctor.
So, what kind of treatments do I do?
After running couple more tests,
we'll have surgery and remove the tumour.
A surgery?
Yes, depending on the condition of the tumour,
we can have a surgery with the least burden on your body.
I'll plan it for after next week,
and I will start conditioning you for a surgery, is that okay?
That's okay, right?
Please.
It's good that you came to the hospital immediately
based on Saito's calm decision.
His observations of your condition was accurate too.
Once all your test are over,
I will go over it in detail again.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
If there's anything we can do, please let us know.
Saito is here too, so you must feel relieved.
Thank you for your help.
I'll be hospitalised quietly.
Get some rest, okay?
My father will be staying here.
He's fine. Leave it to us!
I never imagined that my strong father would be hospitalised.
Right, but it's great that the tumour was found early.
He'll probably have his surgery next week. So you're fine.
Thank you.
The rule is that a relative can't be their nurse,
but go check on him.
He'll feel better when he sees you.
Yes.
I feel so pathetic for collapsing before him.
Stop that! If I was alone, who knows what would have happened.
I know, you get confused at times like that.
Right?
You are supposedly a nurse, you know.
I'm glad Hikaru is a nurse.
It's not like he did anything.
Dr. Yagira is the one who is taking care of my illness.
I'll leave your towel here, honey.
Hey, does Saito and his father not get along, or something?
Yes, he was against Saito coming to Tokyo to be a nurse.
When we were eating together, it was so intense.
That's what it is. Then we need to comfort him as his nurses.
Yes! But I'm so nervous.
What? There's no need for you to be nervous.
We were like the official couple with his parent's approval,
but if I mess up, everything goes down the drain.
You can't mess up with any patient.
What's more important is that you don't expose your faults.
Faults?
And...
And that. You can't be back in your delinquent mode.
I see.
Yes, I'll be careful.
Mr. Saito sees you as his son's potential girlfriend,
so make sure you are graceful.
Graceful?
Excuse me.
Mr. Saito, I came to check on your IV.
Oh, thank you.
Not at all. If you need anything, please let us know.
Oh, could I get a glass of water then?
A glass of water? I will bring it right away.
That's a bit too much.
Tachibana, can we ask for anything today?
Could you go to a convenience store and buy me manga?
Tachibana! Your face!
I shall head over to the convenience store.
Mr. Saito, those tests must have been a lot.
Thank you.
Is something the matter?
I don't know where the bathroom is.
Take a right turn there, and it'll be right there.
Thank you very much.
Not at all. Take care.
- Excuse me. - It's okay.
You sure are an angel in white.
You are very considerate.
Not at all.
Compared to Saito, I'm nothing.
No, I think these delicate jobs have to be done by a woman.
I can't believe that he's doing well here.
If I may...
It can't be helped.
Please wait here for a second.
Of course!
It doesn't hurt at all.
Excuse me, you left your trash.
What? Isn't someone going to clean it up?
Of course not.
Then could you do it, Ms. Nurse?
Thanks!
You take care of your own trash.
Even elementary kids know that!
What? Who the heck are you?
Tachibana!
Well, everyone, please come this way.
Gosh! I've done it!
It's over!
That's why I told you to be careful.
Did something happen?
Oh, she's in the middle of reflecting on herself.
Did my father say something to you?
No, nothing.
Okay. Excuse me.
Oh, boy, he was referring to me as an angel in white.
I definitely disappointed him.
It's fine. You have time to regain yourself.
Hey! Get over it!
“Mr . Wataru Sake, Mr _ Toru Nakazawa“
Is this how long it takes for me to return?
Excuse me.
Hikaru! You are here.
How are you?
It's stable right now. Thank you.
If something was wrong, then I would tell my nurse.
What are you doing here? You are not my nurse.
I just came to check on you.
That must be nice. You have so much time that you wander in here.
- Of course not. - Stop it! He's worried about you.
I'm concerned about what's going on with our inn.
First of all, you are a guy, yet a nurse?
It makes no difference whether the nurse is male or female.
You are old-fashioned!
I got it. I won't come anymore.
Hey! It's serious!
What's the matter, Ono?
I just heard!
What did you hear?
Well, Saito and his father were having a huge argument in his room.
What? A huge argument?
Is that true?
I'm certain. That's a conflict between a father and the son.
It seemed really deep.
That's unexpected.
Saito doesn't seem to be the rebellious type.
Right? Right?
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologise.
Your father says that, but he's still clinging to the fact
that you left home.
He actually wants you to come home still.
I think he wants you to inherit the inn one day.
See you.
I see.
You and your father were like that?
Yes.
When I went to nursing department in college, he told me...
that he doesn't have a son.
He said that?
Isn't it because he loves you?
An outdoor bath directly from the source.
That's nice. Nice taste.
You're right.
I can tell why your father has high hopes for you.
Yes.
You have a lot going on in your life too, Saito.
I'm sorry to make you worry about me.
Not at all.
My father collapsed and was hospitalised.
Then my mother is weak-hearted now. Then I thought
the path I chose might have been wrong.
What do you mean, "might have been wrong"?
Maybe I should have inherited the inn.
Then maybe my father might have not gotten ill.
That's not your fault, Saito.
Taking over a family business is a blessing,
but it's also a burden.
I understand how your parents feel,
but it's tough.
But now that he's hospitalised,
your father might understand our jobs.
Why did you think to become a nurse against your parent's wishes?
When I was in high school, I broke my leg in a basketball game.
The doctor told me that it won't affect my daily life,
but I may not be able to play basketball anymore.
I was in despair, but the male nurse that was taking care of me
encouraged me that if I work hard with rehabilitation,
I can play again.
His words gave me courage, so I was able to work hard.
That's why I was able to play again.
I see.
Until then, I thought nursing was a job for a woman,
but a guy can do it too.
Then I wanted to be a nurse who could encourage people in despair,
and help people in need.
That's so you, Sake.
What? Don't laugh!
It would be nice if your father understood that too.
That's fine. My father and I thought differently and led different lives.
It can't be helped if we don't see eye to eye.
But is it fine like this?
You only have two parents in this world.
You are family, so isn't it better to be on good terms?
It doesn't concern you, Tachibana.
You don't understand anything.
Don't just say that!
You got into a fight with Saito? After yesterday?
Yes, I said too much since I wanted him to get along with his dad.
I see.
I messed up in front of his father, I said too much to Saito,
I'm just no good.
What goes in the family is only known by the family.
Were you able to greet the group from Kugayama Industry?
That's our valued regular customer.
That's right, I'm counting on you with the meals.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
Can't you tell? I'm working.
Right now, your own body is more important than the inn.
It doesn't concern you.
I'm betting my life on work.
I provide the best service to all my customers every day.
I am responsible for its tradition
and the 40 employees' lives.
Unlike you, who has it easy all by yourself.
No! I'm...
Dad? Dad?
I won't depend on you. I can walk by myself.
- Are you okay? - Let's go back to your room.
Slowly. Let's move slowly.
Is your pain gone now?
Yes.
I understand that you are concerned about work,
but please consider resting your body as a priority right now.
I can't do that.
Even if it's just a small and old inn.
It was handed down for generations, so someone has to protect it.
That's how it came this far. That's how it is.
It's about Saito...
He's working very hard.
He's still new,
- yet he's trusted by fellow-- - But he ran.
He became a nurse to escape from the pressure of inheriting the inn.
If he wanted to get away from me,
then it shouldn't have been by becoming a nurse.
It could be anything.
- That's-- - That's not it.
Needless to say, I don't know
anything about your family.
But you don't understand anything about Saito.
What?
Saito wanted to be a nurse not to escape from you.
He wanted to be like that male nurse that gave him courage
when he was hopeless.
He wanted to help those in need.
That's how he felt about it. It's not like what you think at all.
I'm...
always compared to Saito who started here on the same day,
and I'm always disappointed.
But he helps me although I'm completely useless,
and whenever he has time, he studies and practises.
I am no match for him.
And it's not just that he's capable...
he's also loved by the patients too.
He naturally attracts people.
With all that, Saito is an excellent nurse.
We, nurses, can't diagnose patients,
or treat them.
But our job involves lives...
just like the doctors.
Our slight mistake
could lead to a serious situation.
The patients might suffer because of us.
Us two and Sake...
work at a place like this and face lives every day.
Hi, honey, How are you feeling?
It's the same.
Is something the matter?
No, nothing.
Are you sure?
What's the matter?
What's the matter? Honey! What's wrong!
"General Call, Mr. Wataru Saito"
Y es, Mr. Seiko, what 'vs the maker'?
My husband threw up and is in pain!
We'll be right over.
Mr. Saito. You are fine.
We saw free air in the abdominal x-ray.
The possibility of an opening in the digestive system is high.
We'll do an emergency surgery.
Please help him!
Dr. Yagira. Please take care of my father.
I understand.
It's fine. Dr. Yagira will help father for sure.
Hikaru...
"Mr. Wataru Saito"
"In Surgery"
I'm done with environmental control.
Okay-
Sato, Shimizu in 316 wanted a pillow for turning, so I gave him one.
Thank you very much.
"Surgery, In Surgery"
What should I do?
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
This is surgery ward.
Yes, I got it.
Mr. Saito's surgery is over.
- I'll go. - I'll go.
Saito, you should go too.
Yes!
Honey.
Are you okay?
Honey, your surgery was a success.
When I saw my weakened father for the first time,
I thought that he aged.
For me, he was always the strongest person alive.
But, it's not going to be that way forever.
"Shiki General Hospital"
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Mr. Saito is stable, so he's back in his room.
I'm glad the surgery went well.
It's all thanks to Dr. Yagira.
I've been thinking
ever since you collapsed...
about going back home and taking over the inn.
But even then, I want to continue being a nurse.
This job really is
much harder than what I expected.
I always find out that I still have a lot to learn.
But at the same time, I find it very rewarding.
There aren't that many things I can do.
But when I see recovered patients leave the hospital with a smile,
I realise that even someone like me...
can help others.
The more I do it, the more I love this job.
I don't know about the future.
But for now, this is my calling.
If I go back with this feeling,
I think it would be rude to you
who's been protecting that place with all your being.
That's why...
I can't take over the inn.
I'll do my best and become a full-fledged nurse.
Any job is hard.
There is no easy job.
Hikaru.
See it through...
what you've decided to do, till the end.
You...
will be a great nurse.
Dad.
You are a fool.
I never wanted you
to take over the inn.
I'm looking for an excellent personnel.
The inn is a place
that functions better
when a new wind blows in.
I summarised your illness in here.
Please read it.
See you.
Thank you for taking care of my father.
Don't worry about it.
- She's right. - It's all thanks to you two.
Thank you very much.
I guess Saito is the athletic type after all.
He sure is.
Am I?
You can't get rid of it.
"A well-balanced meal"
"Precautions about your meals"
What is that?
Hikaru made it for me.
How neat.
So this is his job.
Mr. Takeda in 323 will be transferred next week.
I'll complete the nursing summary.
Please.
Then Mr. Yamamoto in room 325,
his meals will resume with lunch today.
- Fujii, please assist that. - Yes.
Thank you for everything.
Congratulations for being discharged.
Your post-op progress went well. That's great.
Right, you recovered fast, you sure are young.
Well, I can't leave it to the young ones yet.
Don't push yourself too hard though.
Your son may not be around every time you collapse.
Yes, I'll be careful.
You took care of me too. I owe you one.
What do you mean, you owe me? We are family.
Honey! Here!
If you have time, please come.
Please come and visit us if you like.
Oh, please!
Oh, we would definitely go!
- Me too. - It's too soon for you.
Don't do business here.
Why not? Everyone is happy.
Tachibana.
Take care of Hikaru.
Be careful. He's really dense sometimes.
I know.
" Right! " Right!
What?
- Nothing! - Nothing!
It's great that Saito made up with his father.
Yes, but I said quite a bit to him too.
Oh, no! I'm starting to be like Tachibana.
You and Tachibana are a great team.
What? You think so?
Just as I thought.
Was it head nurse-- Wait, Honjo's strategy for us to be a team?
It might be.
Our date was interrupted abruptly. Where do you want to go next?
Let's see, where should we go?
Where would be good?
Well...
Do you want to come over today?
Are you sure?
Yes.
It's so great that your father got better.
But when your parent is ill or is in surgery,
you get really uneasy.
What? You were working so efficiently during his surgery,
you didn't seem like it at all.
- Really? - Yes.
Really. I was more nervous.
I thought again...
that you are always helping me.
What? You are the one helping me!
Thank you.
What? You are thanking me all of a sudden.
I've been meaning to tell you.
U...
like you!
I want you to go out with me.
For real?
For real.
Yay!
- Squeeze! - That hurts.
"The Final Episode"
