(Northern Philippines Avian Influenza Outbreak)

Everyone who's got fever,

all right everyone inside the church.

Get these guys if they got fever, get inside the church.

Belt don't go!

Give Belt back!

Don't take him away!

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Eiko, bad news.

A man left the village this morning to attend his relatives wedding in town

and took a chicken as a gift.

We've got to stop him.

We are finished if the virus gets out to the city.

Keep your hands off my chicken.

- PANDEMIC -

(Three months later)

(3 January 2011)

(Izumino, Metro Tokyo)

A CAT-scan, then ICU.

Mr Nakayama, can you hear me?

Don't eat so fast next time.

He will. Thank you.

Take care.

Come on.

He fell down and hit his head.

They said he's lost a lot of blood.

When?

Unknown. The call came in about 30 minutes ago.

Just the head?

That's all we can see.

Right! 1, 2, 3!

Sir? I'll help.

Call the duty neurosurgeon.

Dr Matsuoka, a patient with a fever.

I have to get home tonight. Can you hold the fort?

Why always me?

This is the ER.

We've got a head injury.

Anisocoria confirmed. Dr Ando needs you here stat.

Thank you.

Blood pressure 104 over 56, Saturation 80 per cent.

Oxygen, 8 liters.

Ready CAT scan.

That's fine.

You have a slight fever. Let's check for the 'flu.

I'll need a nasal swab.

That's good.

Ken...

Let's go to an amusement park. Let's do all we can before graduation.

It's too far to go.

Yeah...

And it's cold.

Look, we'll just be in different high schools, that's all.

Yeah.

So...

...when do we go?

Idiot!

Avian influenza has struck a poultry farm in Izumino.

Akane...

I'll call home.

So far, 7,000 birds have been killed.

After the owner of Kamikura Poultry in Izumino, Tokyo...

...reported a massive die-off among his birds...

...Metro Tokyo authorities...

...found the virus in the living birds...

...as well as the dead ones.

To hell with New Year's cleaning!

Damn it!

(4 January, 9: 13 am.)

Dr Ando thinks it's a new kind of 'flu.

Echo test.

I saw this man. He was negative for influenza.

He still is.

Or so the test kit says.

Check his wife for me. I think she got it from him.

Thank you

Temperature...

...is 38.8.

Do you know where you are?

GOT 1520,

GTP 828, bilirubin 2.4.

Ready aminoleban.

Easy...

Doctor!

Saturation crashing!

Fever, pneumonia...

...bleeding, diarrhea...

...systemic infection and multiple organ failure...

All the symptoms of influenza.

But...

There's bird 'flu at a poultry farm near here.

As evenly as you can!

Take one tablet twice a day.

Twice a day.

Here's water.

Everyone who had contact takes Tamiflu, OK?

All of you stay in quarantine here!

Report fever or other symptoms immediately!

Start!

Transfusing...

When the ICU is clear of patients, get him in there.

Ambu-bag!

Hide!

It's all right, ma'am. He'll be fine.

He'll be fine. The doctor's with him.

You in the glasses! Help me!

Dr Takayama said...

to bring you this Tamiflu...

Mask and goggles!

I'll take over.

Hurry!

Yes, Doctor!

Transferring. 1, 2...

What are you doing?!

Sorry!

Here goes. 1, 2, 3!

Please, save him!

- Hide... - It's all right. Calm down.

Almost there, Mr Manabe.

Mr Manabe!

Matsuoka, it's been 30 minutes. Give it up.

It's over!

Why?!

3:28...

(5 January, 3:28 am.)

Hide...

How's Hide?

I'm very sorry.

He's gone.

No!

He can't be!

You said he just needed to rest!

Didn't you!

You said he had a cold and needed two or three days' rest.

You said that, didn't you?

Why is Hide dead?!

Tell me!

Murderer!

Hide!

(Musashi Akiyama Station, Tokyo)

(Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture)

Let me off!

A staff member's infected.

From the quarantine section.

Check vital signs!

Doctor?

Dr Ando!

Report that it's in the hospital!

Dr Ando!

Get him!

Bring a stretcher!

(5 January 2011, 6 infected, 1 dead)

This is ER! Dr Ando's ill.

Call support staff!

(6 January, 9: 10 am.)

Last year in the Philippines, an avian-flu outbreak killed 32.

The disease was transmitted person-to-person.

The World Health Organization contained the outbreak.

A similar outbreak here...

...could infect 2.5 million...

...and kill an estimated 640,000.

So we should quarantine Izumino?

No.

Yes, Minister. We must act.

We don't want to terrify people without reason.

Won't vaccine work?

We have avian influenza-based vaccine for 30 million people.

It might not work against a virus transmitted person-to-person.

It takes six months to develop a vaccine from a new virus.

Which means...

...Tamiflu is our only hope.

(Infectious Diseases Control Division)

Aoba General Hospital in Sendai reports a new type of influenza.

I'll phone them.

Is the lab report done yet?

Not yet.

We have to release this.

We can't until we isolate the virus!

The New Year's holiday's almost over. There'll be more cases.

We need more time!

I'm meeting the investigators today.

You can stay home if you like.

I'm OK.

Take care.

Bye.

This is all your fault. Take responsibility.

I'm very sorry.

You and your damn chickens.

Suspicions about the infection are focusing on avian influenza.

Sir!

You're the farm owner?

What are you going to do about this?

Move on through, Tamura.

Let us through, please.

Move ahead.

Morning.

You'll make us sick!

The whole room stinks!

Akane...

Let go!

It's not proved!

They haven't proved it's our chickens!

Will those with fevers please go to the emergency entrance!

We want to avoid infection in this wing.

Dr Matsuoka!

Possible infection. High fever, pneumonia.

Put him in 71.

Report in five minutes.

Matsuoka...

I'm sorry about this.

It's all right.

How was the family?

My daughter was on a date, and it's hell alone with my wife.

(8 January, 8:30 am.)

Eiko!

Tsuyoshi... it's been a long time.

I am Eiko Kobayashi, WHO medical officer.

Dr Kobayashi studied at St Harris Hospital in England.

With the WHO, she has worked on Ebola and SARS outbreaks.

Her team contained last year's influenza outbreak in the Philippines.

She will be in charge of countermeasures at this hospital.

So...

...what do you propose to do?

Isolate the infection here, and stop it spreading.

To that end, the entire hospital will be sealed off.

Wait a minute!

What about our other patients?

We're the only general hospital out here!

The public depends on us. We can't just ignore them.

The infection is spreading around the country...

...but it appeared here,

and most victims are around here.

So it's our fault?

Do our patients have the H5N 1 virus?

We're checking.

Isn't it a bit late to be still checking?

If it's not, what is this disease?

As the first patient appeared in this hospital...

...it will be taken over by the Health Ministry...

...and Infectious Diseases Laboratory staff will be seconded.

Who handled the first infected patient?

I did.

Have you been abroad recently?

Do you have any idea where you caught this?

Do blood tests on anyone who's been abroad recently.

Have you any idea where you and your husband were infected?

Have you taken a trip abroad recently?

This is important!

She's not up to this!

I need the answer!

Her husband's just died.

I'll come back later, then.

You haven't changed. You're still too nice to be a doctor.

You've changed. Your dream of working at the WHO came true.

Yes. Because I left you and went to England.

You don't have to leave Japan to be a doctor.

But because I did,

I learned how to save more lives.

That's why I'm here now.

I'd rather be a doctor with empathy.

"What is it? What does it do?"

"Where is it from? How do we kill it?"

In other words...

"Identify virus"

Then 'symptoms', 'routes', and 'treatment'.

We will conduct tests on patients here...

...and isolate part of the hospital.

Bloody WHO!

To contain the infection, infected and non-infected areas...

...will be strictly divided.

I'll be your liaison.

Anything you need, just tell me.

I'd like Dr Matsuoka as my liaison.

I taught at the medical school he went to.

And I won't do?

I don't need a minder.

My answer is no.

Oh, come on, will you!

Just keep an eye on her.

Anyway, she asked for you.

She did?

Find out where patients have been, and who they've been in contact with.

Dr Ando's blood pressure's falling!

Sorry!

Two more MAP units!

I'll take him.

Take over here.

Order 5 units of plasma!

Blood chemistry, cell count!

Legs up!

Mrs Ando?

This way.

In here.

Dad!

Intubating.

Fibrillating!

DC!

Connecting.

Ready!

Clear!

Doctor!

Ambu-bag!

Hook it up.

Nothing!

Bosmin, 1 ampoule!

I'll do it.

Please.

DC!

Charge, clear!

Dr Ando!

Can you hear me?!

I'm scared.

It's weird.

I've seen so many die...

Now that it's my turn, I'm scared.

Don't be stupid!

Look! Your wife and daughter.

Cerebral hemorrhage! Ready Glyceol!

Dr Ando!

Flatline!

Dad!

Doctor!

Dad!

(9 January 5:37 am.)

It looks like you're a fine ER doctor.

You're everyone's go-to guy.

If I'd paid more attention to that first patient...

...Dr Ando might still be alive.

None of this would have happened.

(Five days later)

Symptoms of the New Influenza

We've waited three hours to see a doctor!

You admitted the one ahead of us. Why do we have to go home?!

I'm sorry. We have to give priority to the seriously ill!

If you can walk, we ask you to rest at home.

You can be seriously ill and still walk!

Come on, please!

Your lungs seem all right. Stay home and see how things go.

Out-patient.

Doctor, I'll take over.

Wait here for your prescription.

I'm very sorry!

You're abandoning us!

I'm sorry!

We're distributing masks! Please take one!

Are you all right?!

I'm going into hospital!

Stretcher! Over here, please!

No!

"Lumbar!"

Sorry!

Bitch!

Ms Suzuki!

Sorry.

Send those samples to the Infectious Diseases lab.

Doctor, triage out in the tents isn't enough for a lot of those people.

We can't admit them all.

We'll be over capacity right away. We won't be able to do this right.

Then give everyone Tamiflu.

Prioritizing patients causes trouble.

There's not enough!

Even the supply drivers are infected.

It's medical staff first,

then people in vital jobs.

And you're forgetting something.

What?

Be a bit more realistic!

Patients are getting worse even with Tamiflu.

It's not working!

It depends on the person. Do over there.

(14 January 2011: 9th Day)

(2,310 infected, 856 dead)

Open the gate!

Stop, please.

All right, all right, stop!

WHO Medical Officer.

Let me take your temperature.

All right.

As you see, there's a net here.

It's unlikely it came in from wild birds.

Mr Kamikura, you're very well equipped.

As you have analyzed avian influenza, Prof. Nishi...

...I'd like to hear your opinion.

I'll be blunt.

Do you think this infection is a new form of influenza?

Mr Kamikura's around these birds all the time, and he's not sick.

So you...

I wouldn't know, Dr Kobayashi.

I'm only here to see what's infected these chickens.

I'm sorry.

This has caused the hospital a lot of trouble, too.

I'm sorry. Forgive me!

I'm sorry!

Please! Don't do that.

There's someone here!

Excuse me.

What's wrong?

A suspicious person.

Who's there?! Show yourself!

There've been rumors this might be bio-terror.

Terror?

Gee, I never thought of that.

There!

Tsuyoshi!

Call the guards.

"Virus"

Who are you?!

Tsuyoshi Matsuoka. A doctor at City Hospital.

Not an investigator?

No.

Don't scare me like that.

Your hospital's famous. You must be inundated.

So what is it?

Huh?

The infection. Is it really influenza?

Do you know something?

No one'll listen to some unknown researcher.

I want to look at it, but I can't get samples.

That's why I'm here.

There's a virus race on. Everyone's after the prize.

There he is!

Get me a sample. I'll find your virus for you.

He got away.

I've been thinking about this.

And?

The first patient didn't infect me or the nurses.

The in-hospital infection started when he came back.

That's when Dr Ando got it.

Yes...

So you're not infectious until at least the second day.

But influenza is infectious before symptoms appear.

Meaning?

What if this infection isn't an influenza?

You think better than you used to.

Hey!

I was afraid you hadn't changed since medical school at all.

Bleeding is similar to Ebola,

and the fatality rate is over 60%.

Far more than our expectation.

Even if we take this valuation into consideration,

It's unlikely that a new type of influenza.

I see. I'll tell the labs in all the different countries.

"What does it do?"

(16 January, Osaka)

(Emergency calls top 500,000 per day.)

(Fear of 'the fatal infection' spreads.)

Respiratory failure!

Vitals?

Temperature 38.5, blood pressure 90 over 50,

saturation 95.

Positive?

No.

Family?

Doctor...

Wait!

Where should this patient go?

We can't handle this!

When do I get my extra staff?

Tomorrow.

We're short-handed.

I'll choose them if you won't.

Uh, no...

The whole hospital's falling apart.

I'll make the choice, then.

Do you know who she wants?

No.

Aren't you keeping an eye on her?!

It's a war zone over there! Go and see for yourself.

Japan is 8 hours ahead of Geneva.

Yeah, so what time is now?

That's right.

Be good, even though mommy is not around.

Ok then, bye.

Were you listening in? That's a bad habit.

Are you married?

It's this boy.

I met him in a refugee camp in Croatia.

Everyone needed medical attention. It was terrible.

But he always had a sparkle in his eyes.

He gave everyone strength.

Even someone like me, there as a doctor.

He was born with a heart defect.

I wanted to save him, at least.

When the fighting drove us out, I took him with me.

I abandoned thousands, but I saved him.

Don't talk like that.

Just now he asked me...

...Is Japan really finished?

What are you doing there?

I couldn't answer him.

Really... what am I doing here?

What are you doing?

I have an answer.

An answer for that boy. Something I've heard before.

A doctor with a cold gets no sympathy at all, you know.

I'm going.

Do me one favor.

Believe in the staff here.

If you're going to lead them,

they want you to believe in them.

I am going to choose the staff to work full-time on this infection.

Those who wish to, please raise your hand.

This will be voluntary.

As you are aware...

...the work will be physically and mentally demanding.

You will not be able to leave the hospital.

That will be hard on those with families.

And worst of all, there is the danger you will be infected.

But without your cooperation, we cannot save our patients' lives.

So please... help me.

I will.

23 doctors, 54 nurses.

Let us do our best.

(19 January: 14th Day)

(Infection is spreading across Japan.)

(Japanese are barred from other nations.)

Sir...

Furukawa...

The cabinet has ordered measures to contain the influenza outbreak.

All regions to be quarantined within 72 hours.

That is all.

Showdown time!

The public won't like this, but we must be ready.

(21 January 2011)

(4, 127 infected, 1,989 dead)

The region is quarantined, with no movement in or out.

Those with symptoms are to notify authorities...

...and the public is advised to avoid gatherings and stay at home.

"Closed due to Outbreak of Infectious Disease"

Hello, Ken?

It's incredible!

I've never seen an amusement park with no one in it.

Where are you?

Sorry, I can't come.

What? Why not?

We're leaving Tokyo.

Ken!

I gotta go!

Hurry!

Non-essential travel is forbidden under the Emergency Proclamation.

Those suspected of being infected may not leave the region.

Return to your homes!

You may not leave this region without a permit.

Food and other necessities will be distributed to you.

Please return to your homes.

We're not moving. What's going on here?!

Honey!

We're not dying here like dogs!

Daddy's company is closed.

My kindergarten is closed.

I'm happy I'm with Daddy.

So work hard, Mommy.

Don't push! Get in line, please!

Don't push!

Someone will get hurt!

Don't worry. There's nothing to be scared of.

OK, send the magic letter.

"Thanks. Now I feel better."

Good. You're much better.

Coming through!

If I may ask you again,

have you been abroad in the past month?

No.

Or met anyone who has?

Excuse me.

Doctor...

I'm sorry about what I said.

Not at all.

Are there many people like me?

Yes, Mrs Manabe. Some even well enough to go home.

No, I mean...

...people who've lost someone dear to them.

Dad!

I'm afraid it was too late.

The Infectious Diseases lab...

...has just announced it's not influenza.

Combining the results of investigation in our laboratories...

...the U.S. Center for Disease Control and the WHO...

...indicate that this epidemic is not a new form of influenza.

Our conclusion is that no new influenza virus...

...has been found.

Then what is this virus?!

That is under study.

We know only that it is a droplet infection.

Thus, like SARS, there is danger of airborne transmission.

So this is a completely unknown virus?

Until the virus is identified...

...it is too early to say whether the virus is known...

...or unknown.

So the bird 'flu in Izumino did not cause the epidemic?

No.

At this point we see no connection.

Murderers!

All of you! Murderers!

Prof. Nishi! Are you all right?!

Yes.

Mr Tamura...

Make sure that girl's all right.

Professor... what happens now?

I'm sorry.

So has all we've done been a waste?

Influenza or not, nothing changes for us.

Did you know about this?

Well? Say something!

Komori!

So what do we do now?!

It's a mess even now, without an unknown virus!

What's the damn WHO good for, anyway!

Calm down!

I'm fed up with this! I want to go home!

"Deaths Rise Rapidly In Japan"

"Why Did The Satanic Virus Pick Japan?"

More Than 800,000 Infected,

420,000 Dead In Japan

Government Takes...

Isolation Measures,

Mysterious Disease Is Given This Name:

Blame.

The word connotes divine punishment.

But why has this divine wrath been visited only on Japan?

The U.S. Center for Disease Control...

...yesterday issued predictions for deaths from the epidemic.

It says numbers could rise as high as 80 per cent of the population.

(Transit facilities are shut down.)

(Social fabric begins to unravel.)

Are you sure?

She's hiding something.

That's why she sneaked out?

She's scared.

It is a crime to conceal the sick.

Many police and military are also ill.

Cases of looting and theft are on the rise.

- Stand back! - There are sick people here!

Hold it!

Move!

Let go!

Leave us alone!

Run!

Halt!

Let go!

Stand back!

On your feet!

No!

Help me!

Come on.

Please take precautions against theft and break-ins.

Food is distributed every two weeks.

My father...

...is a doctor in Abon, a small country in southeast Asia.

He came home for a visit at New Year's.

Dad...

The spiced sake's ready.

I'm coming.

Well, since "Father" has come all this way...

Wait...

Hidetoshi...

Take good care of Asami.

"Father"...

...I will. Thank you.

OK, Dad! Thanks. Let's have a toast.

To New Year's, and to our wedding.

Felicitations.

Cheers!

Now I think back on it, he didn't look too well.

Where did he go then?

He was going to stay a week...

...but he said he had to get back, and left the next day.

You OK?

Here.

Are you OK?

Excuse me!

There's been no word from him since.

I've called and called,

but no one knows where he is.

I'm scared.

What if...

...he brought that disease, and all those people died?

Thank you, Asami.

Thank you for telling us.

What you mean? You have no idea?

Please send someone A.S.A.P.

Dr. Kobayshi, we heard that you've been giving treatment on the site.

We are short on staff.

If you, our medical officer, gets infected, we'll be completely lost.

I'll take care of myself.

More importantly, please do what you can about what we just discussed.

Don't expect anything.

Abon's not even in the UN.

They won't cooperate on influenza samples...

...so the WHO can't tell how things are there.

Any ideas?

All I know is right there.

Yes?

I'll be right there.

Saturation's falling.

We're short of respirators.

Then do something!

Respirator!

They're all in use.

That boy's in multiple organ failure.

He won't last long. Bring his.

We can't do that. He'll die!

We're short of everything!

The guidelines say to favor those with the best chance of survival.

Syringe pump!

Go on!

You do it.

She's still low!

Respirator!

We don't have one!

Doctor...

We will save every patient...

...that we can.

I'll do that.

Thank you.

Take this.

Switching over.

Prepare to intubate.

- Right! - Right!

I'll do that.

Intubation.

Yes.

I have it.

Respirator!

And here, too!

Ms Suzuki, use this.

Right.

Take over.

There.

Thank you.

22:56, death confirmed.

22:57, death confirmed.

Dr Kobayashi!

And she had a respirator...

I can't.

I can't do this!

I quit! I can't do it any more!

Sorry!

12 patients dead. The others are stable.

You don't mind? This is a crime, you know.

I'll take any chance I can, even a faint one.

Please! Find that virus for me.

It's not a faint chance.

It's a sure thing.

Thank you.

You're our only chance.

I won't be of any use.

I can't find the virus myself.

There's lots of virologists.

It has to be you!

Why?

You should know why better than anyone.

You mean Mr Kamikura?

I treated the first patient.

For a while I only wanted to make up for my mistake.

But not now.

Now I want to stop people dying!

I think you've already heard from Eiko,

but the republic of Abon became independent just recently.

And it's made up of a group of islands.

Their sole industry is raising shrimp for export to Japan.

And the government doesn't have complete control of all those islands.

This visit isn't officially a request from WHO.

Don't expect me to be much help.

(Medan Island, Republic of Abon)

Does anyone know where the clinic is?

Where is the clinic?

Does anyone know where the clinic is?

- Where is the clinic? - Where is the clinic?

Thank you. Let's go

Looks like it hasn't been used for a while.

I'll check around the back.

Hey, what are you doing?

In here!

What did you find?

December 27th.

Treated a woman from the shrimp farm on Minas...

...for what seems to be a cold.

Open your mouth.

OK, I'm just finishing.

Doctor, am I going to die?

It's probably just a cold.

There's no reason to be afraid.

But many people are sick like me in the Mines Island.

It's everywhere.

Really?

Has it really affected so many people?

Yes, well... no...

I shouldn't tell any people.

Japanese doctor?

To the shrimp farm?

Mines Island?

Did anyone take the Japanese doctor to shrimp farm?

Japanese doctor?

To the shrimp farm?

- It's a shrimp - Mines Island?

Is that true?

Yeah

He said he took a Japanese man with a big mask to Mines Island.

Mr. David. Let's go to Mines Island right now.

I'll wait WHO's instructions.

Why so many process?

Mr. Nishi?

Mr. Nishi,

you do know what kind of viruses it's carrying, don't you?

Professor Nishi.

Is the virus really that evil, Mr. David?

What you mean?

Isn't the virus that causes all the ciaos in Japan now? Isn't it?

Mr. David, we are running out of time.

Are you sure, you won't give up?

I just want to find this infection as soon as possible.

Follow my instruction please.

Dr David's mad!

I don't care. I don't work for the WHO.

We don't need to obey him.

Mr Matsuoka...

...you'll do.

Mines...

A man saw a witch form the forest and tragedy started.

I cannot go anymore.

I cannot go.

There's no one here either.

There's so much antibiotic it's killed the soil.

We're reducing the place we live by our own hand.

We're like a virus ourselves.

If a virus kills its host, it dies, too.

Still it eats away at that host.

Silly, isn't it.

Mr Matsuoka, could humanity perhaps co-exist with viruses?

With viruses?

You think that's strange?

No. It's something I started thinking when they said I had cancer.

Mr Matsuoka...

Let me rest.

I'll look up ahead, then.

Sorry.

Are you okay?

Calm down!

Professor!

Stop.

Look out!

I've come to help you.

No.

It's okay, calm down.

We are not your enemy.

We are your friends.

Do you understand?

Friend!

No enemy.

Don't shoot.

Friend.

I'm your friend.

It's okay.

I hear the same language that doctor...

Are you all right?!

Are you all right?

Did you see a Japanese doctor who came here?

He gave us medical treatment, and he died from the disease.

He was a wonderful man.

Thank you.

Professor...

I'll stay, too.

If you stay...

...who'll take the samples back?

But you'll be...

I'll be fine.

I'm sharing my body with the cancer. It's not my enemy.

You know, I think coming here with you...

...was a very good thing.

I feel like a young man again.

See you in Japan.

Mangrove swamps are a communal resource, used in various ways.

When they are cut down for shrimp farms,

the people must go into the jungle for wood.

Late last year a man who had gone deep into the jungle fell ill.

He saw the Witch of the Woods and was cursed people said.

Suddenly the man died.

His disease spread to those who lived around him...

...then to those they dealt with...

...until it had spread over the entire island.

"Where is it from?"

The shrimp farm tried to hide this.

The village and its boats were burned, and the island abandoned...

...cut off from the outside world.

Hey boy!

Leave it!

My father... The house is burning.

Come on.

I'm worried about Asami.

I hope I didn't spread the infection by going back to Japan.

May these notes be useful...

...to anyone who comes looking to cure this disease.

Shuji Tachibana.

That's it!

I've found it!

What happened? What are you doing here?

Its isolated virus

turns...

On this occasion I would like to announce...

...that we have isolated the virus.

We have found that it is the same virus...

...found on Minas Island.

We' have?

I'm the one who found it!

The infection began on Minas.

Professor Nishi is on the island...

...conducting an investigation of bat tissue there.

Vaccine development will proceed as fast as possible...

...but will take at least six months.

We will make all efforts to ensure this target is met.

"Identify virus"

"How do we kill it?"

Tsuyoshi...

...Professor Nishi is dead.

I see...

You don't have to hold it in, you know.

Crying...

...would be being rude to him.

Yes...

"Facility Quarantined"

Great, huh?

She can go home now.

- Mei! - Mama.

Thank you!

Bye-bye.

Takako!

Mom!

Mai!

I'll be home soon.

When?

In a while.

Be patient.

Take care of yourself.

I will. You take care of Mai.

Try and stay inside, OK?

I'll try.

Bye.

(24 January 2011; 50th day)

(Approx. 2.5 million infected 900,000 dead)

(Exact figures no longer available.)

(In cities there are too many dead to cremate.)

We've found the virus...

...but we can still only treat symptoms.

But please don't abandon hope.

I believe that your efforts will see us through this crisis.

Now I am leaving for Nagano.

Um...

...I was moved.

When you all raised your hands, I was very...

Thank you for working with me.

Why the long face?

I'm worried.

It's hard when you think how many people...

are still going to die.

One day, if the world goes back to what it was...

...I'll come to you.

You didn't say that then.

Bye.

Eiko...

...don't push yourself. You do that sometimes.

I'll be waiting.

Come to me.

I promise.

It's snowing.

You're right.

Send Mommy a magic letter.

Mommy, there's snow...

...falling down from the sky.

OK...

The first snow I've ever seen.

Doctor! Nurse Mita's collapsed!

Would it be possible to visit her?

All right.

Meals will be served at the tent in the schoolyard.

Hurry it up!

Dr Kobayashi!

We've been waiting for you. I'm glad you're here.

I'm sorry. I seem to have been infected with "blame".

I shouldn't be infectious yet. I'll handle the seriously ill patients.

But...

There are things I can do.

Akane! Akane!

Hey!

Wake up!

Don't... you'll get sick.

I told you not to come, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

I abandoned you.

I didn't care...

...if I lived or not.

Don't think that!

You can't die!

Akane!

Oxygen...

Ready for transfusion.

Laryngoscope.

Pressure 75 over 40.

Dopamine, 10.

Extract.

Excuse me.

Daddy...

...Mommy hasn't answered.

I know.

Akane!

No! You can't come in here!

Akane!

Pulse isn't returning.

Add 4 units MAP, and 2 ampoules of Meylon for acidosis.

Mrs Mita...

She's fighting for her life. Do your best for her.

Meylon, 2 ampoules.

This one's critical!

She's yours.

Don't lose her!

Transferring.

1, 2, 3!

Doctor!

Come on, Takako!

Don't die!

She's a nurse here.

We haven't seen her in weeks!

She's all alone now!

At least let us see her!

Please! Let us in!

All right. Wait here while I check.

Oxygen up to 6 liters.

Echo result?

I'll check.

This girl?

101 over 52 and rising. She's stabilizing.

Carry on.

It's from Mommy!

Dear Mai...

When there's enough snow, let's all build a snowman.

Mommy loves you.

What's wrong, Daddy?

Don't cry...

How's Akane Kamikura?

She's stable right now.

Great!

(10 million infected equal... )

(to the population of Tokyo.)

"More than 3 million dead."

Now you're cleaned up.

Are you all right?

Gauze.

Solulact open.

Call that boy.

What?!

I don't want her to die alone.

Wake up! Come with me.

There's only a slim chance it will work.

And it could kill you. It's too risky.

I can't approve it.

If it proves effective, it could save thousands.

A slim chance is better than none.

Dr Tatebayashi!

Akane...

Akane!

It's OK!

Reservoir mask. 3ml of Dormicum!

Stand back.

Check pulse!

Doctor, a video call from Nagano.

I'm busy!

I'll hook it up.

Dormicum.

Dr Matsuoka!

Tsuyoshi...

...I went and got sick.

Doesn't look good, huh?

I feel stupid.

Forget about that now!

I'm going to try a different treatment.

If it works...

...use it there.

In Africa, when there was an Ebola outbreak...

...we transfused blood from people who'd survived.

It saved some patients.

It's not tested and proven.

The European doctors were all against using it.

But the doctors from Zaire pushed for it.

It saved five out of eight.

There was no other option.

They had to save their colleagues no matter what.

RBC, 2 units.

Call Endoscopy if she keeps coughing blood.

For my last shot...

...I'm going to try it.

"Last"? Don't say that!

Instead of fighting with medicine or vaccine...

...I'm going to try something with the blood we all share.

Maybe the virus will agree to that.

Serum prepared.

Is that all you called to say?

Tsuyoshi... that promise you made...

...forget it.

Doctor!

Please!

Save her! Please! Please!

Settle down, kid!

Find a "blame" survivor whose blood matches hers.

You're trying it?

Hurry!

It might work if we act now.

I'll take responsibility!

Oh, sure.

They'll fire me, too.

So I risk my job, too.

Thank you!

Let's see that.

Feeling OK?

Yes.

Thank you, Asami.

Not at all.

Five minutes since transfusion.

Akane!

Doctor!

Get a mask!

Solu-Cortef 300 mg, Cercine 1 ampoule, Dopamine 7.

Hold her.

Akane! Hang in there!

Oxygen, 3 liters.

Pulse in the 30s!

Atropine Sulfate, 1 amp. Dopamine to 5.

Akane! Akane!

Bosmin! Don't give up on her!

Blood pressure falling!

Oxygen up to 9 liters.

9 liters!

Again! Clear!

Pulse is coming back!

Akane!

The treatment worked!

Good!

Monitor her blood pressure.

Please be in time!

I was afraid you hadn't changed since medical school at all.

I was relieved you hadn't, to tell you the truth.

I've changed. I'm coming to you, aren't I?

Aw, shit!

This way.

VF.

Charged!

Clear!

Arrest.

Don't stop!

Let me!

Eiko!

Can you hear me?

We saved her!

We have a pulse!

Eiko!

I loved that face...

No.

Leave it on.

Kobayashi...

That's all for me today. I'd like to introduce you to someone.

I'm Eiko Kobayashi. I'll be assisting you this year.

How do you do.

Dr Kobayashi?

What made you decide to be a doctor?

When I was in high school, my younger brother...

...developed a brain tumor.

The day before he died, he said to me...

...Become a doctor...

...and tell people like me there will be a tomorrow.

Even if the world ends tomorrow, plant an apple tree today.

He liked that line.

Why?

Why did I forget that?

Eiko...

You planted an apple tree.

I'm sorry I was so rude in class just now.

"How do we kill it?"

(After six months, a vaccine... )

(... brings 'blame' under control.)

(12 July: 3.95 million infected)

(1. 12 million dead)

Dear Dr Matsuoka...

Thanks to all of you, the city has come back to life.

Although Dr Kobayashi's treatment saved a lot of people...

...we're told they're still investigating it.

But I think there is a direct connection...

...between her courage and all of our lives.

I am grateful to all of you.

Is it cold up in Hokkaido?

It must be hard working in a town that had no doctor.

Please don't become discouraged.

When I get depressed...

...I remember what you told me.

Thank you very much.

Are you taking your medicine?

Even if the world ends tomorrow...

...plant an apple tree today.
