I'm sorry.
"Four season Shiomi Dorm" I'm sorry.
I will be careful.
"Newbie Nurse, Haruka Tachibana" Oh, it's just a dream.
Mihara is scary even in a dream!
Wow! Oh no! I'll be late!
Oh no!
Wait!
Today's the day of my first night shift!
All right! I'm going back to sleep!
- Today, there are four empty beds. - Yes.
Thank you to all who worked the day shift.
Thank you.
For those of you on the night shift, let's work hard.
Yes.
It's my very first night shift.
I sort of feel like a full-fledged nurse now. I'm happy.
"Nurse, Natsumi Mihara" What? Full-fledged?
Today, you'll follow your mentor and learn your duties!
Right, it's like it's your very first time on the road.
"Nurse Station" Yes!
Don't do anything to take a lead.
They always compare me and you, I'm really annoyed about it!
"Newbie nurse, Hikari Saito" I can't do anything about that.
So you are starting your night shift. Work hard, you two.
Yes, I'll do my best.
I slept for 15 hours with all my might, so I'm all set!
You slept that much?
It's so true that a child who sleeps a lot grows a lot.
You didn't have to sleep so much.
There's time to sleep during the shift.
There's time to have a late night snack too.
A late night snack?
I can't wait!
And a glutton too...
We take care of many patients with a limited number of staff at night,
each nurse has more responsibilities.
Yes!
"Shiki General hospital"
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
It's 9:00!
That scared me.
It's time for lights out, so do it more quietly.
I see.
It's time for lights out.
They can't hear you like that!
Your room lights will be dimmed.
Good night!
Listen, what you check in these rounds are their sleep,
safety check, and checking for the remaining volume in their IV.
Yes, I got it.
First, you look at their chest...
and if you can't tell how they are breathing, do this.
I see.
Now, you do the next patient, Tachibana.
Yes.
Huh? I can't tell.
You scared me!
- I apologise! - What is it?
Why did you wake him up?
- I am so sorry. - I'm sorry.
How's it going?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
"Doctor, Keiichiro Yagira" This is your first night shift.
I brought you something.
- Thank you very much! - Thank you very much.
Wow! That looks good!
You are not allowed to eat at the nurse station.
That's right.
Just wait till your snack time.
Yes...
By the way, mysterious things happen...
at a hospital at night.
Mysterious things?
Well, for example, something like this happened.
There was a nurse call in the middle of the night...
but when they looked at it carefully...
it was from a room where there were no patients.
"Huh?" They thought, "How scary, scary," and went there.
But no one was there.
"Maybe we just couldn't see it..."
"but something was there."
Okay, you two...
work hard!
Gosh it's scary.
What was that all about?
N“. You are scared, saw!
You are a guy and yet you are such a wimp!
Aren't you scared, Tachibana?
I'm not scared of anything!
"General call, Nobuhiro Yoshimura"
Mr. Yoshimura in 308, I think he needs to use the restroom. I'll go.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Ah, Mr. lnoue. What's the matter?
I can't sleep because my neighbour's snoring so loud.
Ah, that is a problem.
Tachibana, could you take that?
Yes...
"General call, 313-1, an empty bed"
He)“
Room 313 is...
Nobody is in there right now...
Is this...
a nurse call...
from an empty room?
Why do I have to come too?
Be a man! Don't worry about the details.
Are you scared or something?
I just can't handle ghosts.
There are no such things as ghosts.
This is it.
Nobody is here.
See? It's nothing.
There it is!
No! A ghost!
Hey!
What's going on?
Mihara! Mihara!
A ghost!
A ghost?
Mr. Kimura?
What's the matter?
Well, when I came back from the bathroom...
I had no bedding.
Ah! Mr. Kimura, your room is next door.
I see.
Oh my.
Wait one second. Tachibana was this much of a coward?
A ghost!
Gh... gh... ghost!
So even you have something you're scared of.
If I could, I want to crawl under the rug!
"Nurse in Action!"
Thank you for waiting.
Get it together and don't run.
Yes!
Oh boy!
- That's her! - That's her right?
Why is everyone laughing at me?
It's because of your ghost incident, of course!
What? Only the surgical ward laughed at me until now.
Maybe by tomorrow, the whole hospital might know!
Ms. Kana Nakamura will be admitted to the hospital today.
Some abnormalities were diagnosed at a clinic in Kasai,
and her tumour markers have increased.
So she came to this hospital for further examinations.
This means...
There's a possibility of it being a malignant tumour.
Excuse me...
are you Ms. Nakamura?
Yes.
"Inpatient, Kana Nakamura"
Ms. Nakamura, this will be your room.
Excuse me.
- Excuse me. - This is your bed.
This room's humidity level seems low.
When it's dry, I get a sore throat.
I got it. I'll check the humidity level right away.
When your family comes to visit, please use this stool.
I don't have any family.
That's right. I apologise.
I apologise.
Oh no! These sheets are all wrinkly.
And the bed pad is not properly aligned.
Is it necessary to mention such minute details?
Now Tachibana, once Ms. Nakamura changes, take her to be tested.
Yes!
Oh, things are left in the hallway?
If there's a bench in front of the handrail, it serves no purpose.
Oh no! That poster is peeling off.
How sloppy-
I apologise!
But it's not my fault here.
Ah!
There's trash there. Go pick it up!
Yes!
Each and every staff has to take care of the hospital.
Yes! I'll pay attention more.
Ah!
When you just turned, you didn't stop to check.
At a place like this, you need to make a wider turn!
If someone was coming this way, we would crash right into them.
Right?
I apologise.
What's up with that woman?
You do not refer to a patient as "that woman".
But do you know how many times I was criticised
since she was admitted till I took her to her tests?
Okay, okay. I got it.
You know what though? What Ms. Nakamura said is all true.
Indeed. How does she know so much?
Maybe she's used to staying at hospitals?
Even so, that's a new kind of nurse bullying!
Ah! I'm so glad she's not my patient.
I know.
You still have a long way to go.
That's where you show off your nurse skills with those tough patients.
You are full-fledged if you could satisfy persnickety patients.
Oh no...
No matter how the patients are, a nurse must always be tolerant.
Ah, Ms. Nakamura's test is almost done.
Go pick her up.
What? Mihara, you go!
Why should I?
Show me an example of a tolerant nurse!
Fine then.
Oh...
Ms. Nakamura, you had so many tests, that must be hard.
Are you feeling okay?
The way you asked...
I can only answer "yes".
Let me know whenever you don't feel well.
Right.
You need to ask it in a way so the patient can freely answer it.
You should remember that.
Thank you for the tip.
I'll be more careful from now on.
She's all smiles no matter what the patient says.
She's incredible!
Ah! Are you warm?
If I say "No", will you give me something to cover me?
What?
If you don't have anything...
don't ask something you can't even do.
If you'd like, please use this.
Oh, you are prepared.
Not at all.
Yeah!
You are experienced for sure.
Not at all.
Well, if you give up on quitting work after getting married,
you need to do a perfect job as a nurse.
Where did you hear that I gave up...
on quitting work after getting married?
I knew it.
I know so many nurses like you.
With all due respect, I didn't give up on quitting work after marriage.
I just decided to continue to work as a nurse even after marriage.
I have things on my mind.
- Mihara! No! - I need to change.
- Calm down. - Oh.
I apologise.
Now...
excuse me.
Mihara, you lost it too!
I didn't lose it!
I just clarified things.
Who is this Ms. Nakamura anyway?
You lost it!
Ms. Nakamura.
Oh, Dr. Yagira!
You are late!
Your tests are done?
Yes.
Ah! Ms. Kana Nakamura here was the head nurse...
at the hospital I interned at.
Dr. Yagira! What are you saying? I was just a chief back then.
Were you?
Yes, I was. What are you saying?
You had the confidence of a head nurse though.
- Oh? - A head nurse?
A chief?
That means...
An ex-nurse?
No wonder her comments are on the spot.
No wonder she knows about the nurse's marriage situation.
Ms. Nakamura was impressive back then.
She was fast, adept and precise.
She was a good listener too.
All the patients loved her...
so when they were released from the hospital,
she would get a lot of thank you letters.
That's amazing.
So it's like a legendary experienced nurse came for a surprise exam.
Oh... Think of me who is being examined by her...
Ah!
"General call, Kana Nakamura" Oh, it's Ms. Nakamura.
Come on.
Mihara, Tachibana, go ahead.
Hurry up and answer it!
- Hurry! - Mihara!
Newbie nurse answers the nurse calls!
You go ahead!
What is the matter?
You are too slow! You answer the nurse call within three rings!
I apologise.
Ah! I'm really exhausted today!
I was criticised all day long!
Ouch! Ouch!
Ouch!
Hmm, I really should clean this up.
Coming!
What's going on?
Oh, here's some sweet buns.
My family sent a lot to me.
Thank you! I love these!
You came at a good time! Come in for now.
No, that's not necessary.
Come on!
No...
Ah! Today was tiring!
Good work.
Thank you.
Is the legendary nurse's training that hard?
Yes...
It's like I'm a newbie again.
It's hard having Ms. Nakamura as the patient.
Um...
so you wanted to talk to me...
about that?
No...
I have private matters to talk to you about.
Your private matters?
I've been at the surgical unit for five years now.
You always watched me closely, head nurse.
So I think you know me the best.
I'm glad. You thought of me...
- like that-- - So that's why I would like...
to ask you.
Okay, what is it?
Who do you think is best?
Marriage agency is telling me to pick a few and meet them,
but there aren't any deciding factors!
So...
is this what you wanted to talk to me about?
This is good. I can't stop.
Why am I doing this?
Could you put that down there?
This is...
Tachibana?
I had always suspected...
but you used to be a delinquent?
Wait, wait!
Give that back!
Leave!
You leave now!
You're the one who asked me to help you.
Fine, fine. Thanks, thanks.
- Thanks! - Hey!
That was...
No, no, it can't be.
No!
I wonder if Satonaka was the guy for me.
But his condition was that you quit work, right?
That's true, but...
this is what you call the one that got away. The biggest fish.
No!
In the marriage hunting world, you're on the brink when you're 34.
When you're over 35, the age and quality of prospects...
change drastically!
Really?
It's harder now because my profile says
I want to continue being a nurse after marriage.
Oh boy, what should I do?
He)“
maybe there's no one here for you.
Your life partner...
may be closer than you think.
Well...
if you'd like...
could I...
be one...
of the candidates, along with these?
I got divorced once but I am single...
I'm quite a bit older, but this guy here is even older.
So...
what do you think?
"Shiki General Hospital"
Is that the result of Ms. Kana Nakamura's tests?
I'm afraid...
it's even more serious than I thought.
As the result of the CT and MRI...
we discovered that...
the pancreatic cancer has worsened significantly.
It's at stage four.
There's metastasis in...
the liver, lungs and the peritoneal as well.
I see.
It's unfortunate...
but surgical removal is impossible at this point.
To slow down the progression of the cancer...
chemotherapy and immunotherapy are available.
What would you like to do?
It's spread this much...
which means my life may last about two or three months?
Yes.
It depends on the exacerbation too.
I've been a nurse for a long time...
so I think I understand about these illnesses.
I don't want...
any treatment.
I understand.
I'm prepared.
I quit my job_
I have sorted everything so as to not cause any trouble...
for anyone after I die.
Thank you.
I can't believe it.
Ms. Nakamura seems so energetic!
She doesn't seem like she has such a serious illness.
She lost her husband a long time ago...
so she has no family.
She's already sorted things out for after her death.
Oh?
I think Ms. Nakamura has a son.
Is that true?
I recall her bringing a boy who looked like...
he was in elementary school to the hospital...
But that was almost 20 years ago.
That's not reliable.
Are you okay?
Tachibana, this is your first time with a terminal patient.
I don't know...
how tend to Ms. Nakamura.
It's fine if you do what you usually do.
The worst thing you can do is to make your patient feel uneasy.
All right, let's share information so that we can all take care of her.
Yes.
"General Call, Kana Nakamura"
What's the matter?
You are too slow!
I apologise!
That's so like Ms. Nakamura.
Thank you for waiting!
Don't run in the hallway!
Your button is coming off.
You need to set an example for the younger nurses.
With your writing, other people won't be able to read it!
I apologise!
You look good.
What? You came to slack off again?
Oh, you can tell?
There's no tea here!
"Shiki General Hospital"
Ms. Nakamura.
I'll give you some pain killers.
Ms. Nakamura, I'm turning you to your left.
It's fine.
I've changed your IV.
You couldn't eat much?
I have no appetite.
Are you okay?
You didn't get wet?
Thank you.
Until just yesterday...
I could hold the cup and drink tea by myself.
Of how I won't be able to do things on my own.
We'll do it for you.
Just let us know.
I was a nurse for a long time...
and I tended many patients...
who lost their strength over time.
But I had no idea...
this is how it feels.
I'll bring you some tea right away.
Tachibana.
Stop crying and bring her some tea.
Yes.
Her digestive system has weakened significantly...
and she is very anaemic.
The deterioration is faster...
than I expected.
There will be more things she won't be able to do on her own.
So Ms. Nakamura will need our nurses' help.
Yes.
How's the temperature?
It's just right.
It feels so good.
I'm so glad.
Once this is done, let's warm your feet too.
It's not necessary for you to do such cumbersome things.
I just happen to have some time right now.
You always say that!
Oh, that looks good.
Mihara is massaging me here.
Speaking of massage...
How could they...
look like that?
Mmara and Dr. Y aqua...
are able to smile like that in front of Ms. Nakamura.
HOW?
Well, that is because...
they want to make Ms. Nakamura smile.
Mihara is working efficiently and makes time to care for Ms. Nakamura.
And Dr. Yagira stops by whenever possible to share silly anecdotes.
I didn't know that.
Both of them...
are conscientiously tending to Ms. Nakamura the best they can.
But...
I'm...
not able to do anything.
I really can't do anything.
You think so?
Maybe that's not true.
Oh? Where's Tachibana?
Oh, she wolfed down her lunch fast and took off.
Oh...
Ms. Nakamura.
Yes?
Let's go for a walk.
What?
I got Dr. Yagira's permission too.
The cherry blossoms are no longer in bloom,
but I thought it might refresh you to go outside.
If you have time to spare on me...
take care of the other patients.
It's fine! I'm on my break right now.
If you are on your break, you need to eat and rest properly.
You won't last as a nurse.
It's fine!
I'm a fast eater, so I already had my lunch.
What do you think?
Nothing.
Going around inside the dull hospital means nothing...
Right.
Oh, the hallway is clean.
Oh, this way, the handrail is more accessible.
The poster is posted on the wall properly.
Each and every nurse must care for the whole hospital!
You got that from me!
Yes.
You are doing it properly now.
What? Did you just praise me?
Don't get carried away!
Hey!
When you turn the corner, you need to stop and check first!
I forgot that!
I thought I was perfect!
You are just like my son.
When he was little and I would scold him...
he had that frustrated look.
You have a son?
Then why did you say you don't have any family?
What a nice breeze.
Thank you.
I said I had no family...
because three years ago...
my son left home.
He wanted to do farming.
He said he wanted to grow...
organic, safe and delicious strawberries.
Strawberries?
When my husband died...
my son and I would discuss everything.
But...
he quit his job...
without consulting me at all.
To leave this home...
means to cut of our ties as a family.
Don't you ever come back!
Then for three years...
he hasn't contacted me.
I see.
But are you sure about not letting him know about your illness?
Ever since then, I lived my life as if...
I never had a son.
I'm actually relieved.
- But... - It's fine.
I'm sure...
he doesn't remember...
about his mother either.
What? She has a son after all?
She was so insistent that she didn't have any family.
Ms. Nakamura was tense about it all this time.
Maybe she really wants to see her son.
But if Ms. Nakamura doesn't want to notify him...
then that's the best thing, right?
Well...
But...
what about her son?
What?
I've seen a lot of families...
who couldn't be there to see their family members die.
They wanted to see them while they were still alive.
They wanted to talk to them again one last time.
So I think Ms. Nakamura's son...
will regret it if his mother dies...
without him knowing about her illness.
In any case...
let's report it to the head nurse later.
Yes.
Thank you everyone.
Thank you.
I'm so tired!
Natsumi, do you want to go to Nasugamama today?
Yes, I'll go.
You're coming too, Tachibana?
Ah!
I... forgot something!
Where is he?
Ah! Dr. Yagira, there you are!
What? Of course I'm here.
Do you need something?
Ms. Nakamura had a son after all.
Uh yeah?
See? My memory is--
Do you remember his name?
His name?
Her son's name?
What was it?
Try to remember!
Even if you tell me that, it's not that easy.
You remember?
- Ta-kun - Ta-kun?
Right, right! Ms. Nakamura called him Ta-kun!
What? Ta-kun is not enough to know his name!
I can't remember more than that.
Darn it!
So it's Ta-kun.
Strawberry farm...
Nakamura...
There's a lot.
Could Ta-kun be "Takashi"?
Ta-ka-shi?
"Strawberry picking experience" Hmm.
Takayuki?
Ta-kun is just not enough.
There you are, Tachibana!
I remember Ta-kun's name now!
Really?
It's Taichi!
Taichi!
That was a possibility!
You write "thick" and the number one.
Yes.
- Thick and a number one. - He was such a skinny boy too.
It was so funny that his name was Taichi.
You are not listening to me.
Please!
"Hikariyama Strawberry farm, producer, Taichi Nakamura"
Yeah!
Excuse me!
Is Hikariyama Strawberry Farm around here?
Yes, it's that greenhouse over there.
That one!
"Direct sales, Hikariyama Strawberry Farm"
Thank you very much!
Excuse me!
Um...
is there a Taichi Nakamura here?
That's me.
Ta-kun?
You are Ta-kun!
It's done.
If you need anything, please call the nurse.
Yes.
What? You went all the way to lbaraki on your day off?
Yes.
Why would you do that?
What? You're the one who said that her son might regret it.
I did say that, but I didn't think you'd go that far.
So? How did it go?
Well!
Good morning.
I understand you two are buddies...
but you two talk too much in the hallway.
We are not buddies!
See?
Excuse me.
Ms. Nakamura has a visitor.
A visitor?
Mum.
Taichi.
Why are you here?
I'm sorry.
I looked for him.
I heard...
about your illness.
Why didn't you contact me?
Since then...
I studied farming from scratch...
and I finally have my own farm...
to grow organic strawberries.
See? I made these strawberries.
I wanted you to try it...
for the longest time, mum.
I ate it.
What?
Last year...
when I heard...
that you opened a strawberry farm...
"Hikariyama Strawberry Farm" in lbaraki.
"Taichi Nakayama" I had it shipped.
I asked my friend to do it for me.
Mum.
It's delicious.
Last year's...
was delicious too.
But this year's is even more delicious.
I will make its shape better...
and I will make it taste better...
and I'll grow fantastic strawberries.
So mum...
please live longer.
I'm sorry...
that I didn't contact you all this time.
My boy»-
has found what he wants to do...
and is working hard at it.
That's the best thing you could ever do for me.
Mum.
Oh?
Are you Ta-kun?
Yes.
You are so big now.
He matches his name now.
Dr. Y aqua.
Please, I made these strawberries.
It looks delicious.
You two, please.
Really?
You are working right now.
Well, go ahead for now...
Oh, it's delicious.
Thank you.
This is the best!
It's so good.
Of course it is!
My son made it.
She did it again.
One more!
Don't push it!
Good morning.
What's going on?
Ms. Nakamura had multiple organ failure
and her condition has taken a sudden turn.
Time of passing...
8:06 in the morning.
Mum...
Mihara, Tachibana.
Please tend to Ms. Nakamura's post mortem.
Yes.
Tachibana...
could you do it?
Yes.
Tachibana, could you hand me the lotion?
Could you brush her?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
U...
couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything for you...
Ms. Nakamura.
I wanted to go on...
more walks together.
After every meal...
I should have brought you warm tea.
I wanted you to make...
more of your remarks too.
I had so many things I wanted you to teach me.
To cry when a patient dies...
makes me a failure as a nurse, right?
I'm sorry.
Wham'?
Of course we are sad.
Nurses...
and doctors...
no matter how many times we see them go...
we never get used to the patients' death.
Every time it happens...
we manage to get over that sadness.
But...
this is the only place where we can cry.
You can't show your tears...
in front of other patients or their families.
Do you understand?
Yes.
All right.
Let's take her to her family while she's still warm.
Yes.
Tachibana.
Yes!
What's the food intake of Yano in room 306?
Oh, I was about to do that!
Tachibana!
- Yes! - Hair wash for Sekine in 307?
Oh, right away!
- Tachibana! - Yes!
What about the urine measurement for the afternoon?
I'm sorry, I'll do it immediately!
Hey! Not "Right away, immediately!" This isn't takeout delivery!
You haven't done anything at all!
L~\ \ \ \\~
I thought you improved after being trained by the legendary nurse!
What are you staring at?
Nothing.
You two took such good care of her.
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
We learnt a lot from Ms. Nakamura as well.
I was...
scolded by Ms. Nakamura a lot.
My mother told me...
that when she sees you, Tachibana...
that you reminded her of when she just started as a nurse.
What?
She's no good as a nurse...
but...
her smile...
brightens up...
the patient's hearts.
That's...
the most important thing...
for a nurse.
Ms. Nakamura said that?
Yes.
I'm glad I was able to talk to my mother about many things.
If my mother had passed away...
before I saw her...
I would have regretted it forever.
I'm truly grateful.
Good work.
Mihara!
Wow, your face looks horrible!
You can't show that face to the patients!
Go wash your face! Time to work!
Yes!
Are you the nurse who's scared of ghosts, Tachibana?
What? No! That's not me.
Her smile...
brightens up the patients' hearts.
I see.
She sure has a nice smile.
Head nurse.
Ms. Tachibana matured again.
Yes.
But she has a long way to go, though.
She can't do anything unless I'm around.
Well, but you decided to continue as a nurse even after you get married,
so it'll be fine.
Right.
By the way, you were saying something
when I spoke to you about my marriage hunting.
I was tired, so I fell asleep in the middle of it.
What was it about?
What was it about? Well...
I'm...
stepping up as one of your marriage hunting candidates.
Ah, so the head nurse will be one of my candidates...
What? The head nurse?
What?
"A love finally started?" I only have you.
You are so forward.
This is my daughter, Saya.
"Head nurse's daughter is a chick!" What's up!
His daughter is a rebel?
That's enough!
Don't try to be a father now!
- Ouch! - Saya! Are you okay?
"This drama is fiction" Ouch!
