Hurry!

Wait up!

This feels wonderful!

Slow down.

Hurry up!

Wait!

Come on.

Come on, move it!

Be careful.

You okay, Asakura?

You still calling me that?

What?

We're married now.

Oh, right... Izumi.

Kentaro.

Over there. Over here?

Hurry.

Wow, what a spread!

Can we eat all this?

What, are you kidding? No sweat.

I'm starving.

Right.

Take a seat.

Let's eat!

Ouch! Ow, ow, ow!

Stop that!

Hey, wake up.

Snap out of it!

Hey.

Where are we?

We're home. Where else?

Where's that big, succulent drumstick?

And the papayas, bananas, oranges and mangos

I was just about to sink my teeth into them.

Well, you were gnawing on my arm. See?

Oops.

Numbskull.

You've gotta stop putting up posters like this.

Hey! Get away from there!

That's our honeymoon.

Ow, ow, ow!

Still hurts.

Leave It To The Nurses

Asakura!

Uh-oh.

Boss!

This is no place to be fooling around! You're on call soon!

Fooling around? Far from it.

We're practicing for the annual Inter-ward Talent Contest.

Talent contest?

I hear first prize is an overseas trip for two.

I'll finally get to go on my honeymoon.

What?

You're going with your husband?

Of course.

You said you'd share the prize with me!

Look, I need a honeymoon.

What's in it for me?

Well, let's see.

Considering all the help I've given you since you arrived...

Aren't you just dying to pay me back?

Absolutely not.

What a waste of time.

Wait! Get back here, Akagi!

Asakura! Now just stop this foolishness!

What?

Hey, how about you, Boss?

Huh?

You said you could dance, right?

Yes but...

Not bad.

Piece of cake.

Knock it off!

Ouch! Oh come on, Boss.

Please, please, please.

Be my partner.

I hate to break this to you...

What?

The talent contest has been canceled.

What!? Naturally.

Do you think we have time for silliness like that

But it's a tradition. And everyone really looks forward to it.

Now that I'm Chief Nurse, you can look forward to a lot of changes.

What about the summer fireworks?

Sorry.

And the Christmas party?

This is a hospital, not a social club.

Oh, come on.

Back to work!

You need to set a better example. Head Nurse.

Yes, ma'am.

Honestly, it's amazing this place functions at al

Asakura, don't.

But...

Never mind. Answer that.

Alright.

Nurse Oshima, can you work the night shift next Wednesday?

My maternity leave starts tomorrow.

Really? No one told me.

I filed a request.

Really? Well, I need to fill this spot.

Chief, I'm already making her work a week longer than she'd planned.

I'm responsible for scheduling.

That's what worries me, your management skills

Well, I've got a staff meeting to attend.

Can you believe the attitude of that lady?

I'd like to punch her.

Are you okay, Boss?

What?

You've looked troubled since she arrived.

Frankly, she hasn't made things easier.

Why'd they appoint her Chief Nurse anyway?

She wouldn't have been my choice.

Mine neither. What happened?

It's simple. The job merely went to the most qualified person.

That's right.

My, aren't we nasty.

Taking a few tips from your pal, the Chief, are y

Now, now ladies, don't fight. It just means I'm not ready.

Pfft! That must be it. Ouch!

I don't need to hear it from you. What's with the pfft pfft?

Do that again. What was that? Come on, one more time.

Saeko!

Saeko!

Good morning, Doctor!

Morning.

What are you doing, dear? You've got your prenatal check-up!

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Nurse Ozaki! Need I remind you my wife is pregnant?

Yes, yes, I understand.

Let me finish this.

You're acting like this is our first child. Take it easy.

The doctor's waiting.

Okay, let's get to work.

We just might win this thing.

You're dreaming.

Hey, you never know.

Nurse Akagi!

Oh, there you are. Good morning.

Don't give me good morning. Why weren't you at the briefing?

Did I miss it? I guess I was so wrapped up in my work.

I find that very hard to believe.

Now take it easy, Izumi.

You're cute when you're angry, though.

What? You think so? Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Okita.

Such giddy behavior from a married woman.

I didn't know you were married.

Well, um... technically...

See for yourself.

How about that!

Thanks a lot.

Move aside. I've got to take his blood pressure.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

You're in charge of the women's room next door.

It's so boring in there. I don't get any attention.

Don't be silly.

Look, you're a married woman. Why should you care if we switch rooms?

What are you babbling about? Let go!

Well, I guess I better go see my patients

Akagi!

Time off? What do you mean?

I haven't had any vacation time for a while and...

Don't tell me you want to go on a honeymoon?

Well, actually...

At your age, all I could think of was becoming a good doctor.

I even worked on New Year's.

Oh. But you see...

Didn't you say you wanted to assist me with today's kidney transplant?

Of course.

Well I can't have you in there if...

your mind's on palm trees. I'll get someone else.

Slacker.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

Move over.

I'd like you to meet the doctor in charge of your operation.

I'm Dr. Hamano.

Pleasure, Doctor.

How's his potassium?

A little high but not problematic.

Vital signs?

Izumi, what are they?

I haven't finished.

Why not?

Perhaps it was because I was rudely interrupted.

You should be done by now.

Well, I've been busy.

Never mind. Just do it!

Never mind. Just do it.

Excuse me.

Sorry for asking, Doctor, but have you done this operation before?

What?

Certainly.

Dr. Hamano's done this ten times, and only botched it once!

What?

Botched it once?

Yes.

Well... yes but that's because we got a bad organ. Don't worry.

Loud mouth!

You've nothing to fear. Nothing at all.

Nurse's Station

Wakabakai Hospital. How may I help you?

Dr. Mizushima? What's up?

You have a kidney transplant today, right?

That's correct.

I'm bringing the organ to you now. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Will you be assisting?

I guess so. If everything goes well, let's all have dinner together.

I'd love to. I'll tell Asakura.

Your van's ready, sir.

I'll see you later, then?

Don't embarrass me like that.

You've got to finish the vitals before the doctors' rounds.

I told you, I was busy.

Look, we're a married couple now. Try not to make me look bad, okay?

You don't need my help. Why are you kissing up to Dr. Hamano?

I need to be on his good side to get into that operating room today.

Why don't you get on my good side and file for some time off?

Time off?

Our honeymoon!

You still at it?

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, this is a critical time for me. I need to establish myself.

I simply don't have time to go on any honeymoon, okay?

I don't believe this.

What?

Boy did I misjudge you. This marriage was all a mistake.

I want a divorce!

Hey, Izumi!

From this moment, we are no longer on a first name basis. Got it?

Nurse Ozaki?

I'm Saruwatari. I was a patient here.

Yes, I remember you. What is it?

You won't believe it but my stomach is acting up.

Again?

I know the doctor said it would heal with medication.

But I really think I need an operation.

Well then, you should speak to your doctor

I know but... Dr. Hamano kind of scares me

Can you come along?

Sure. I'll take you to him.

Thanks.

Sorry... You startled me. Um, this way, please.

This is for everyone.

Oh yes, you did say you worked at a bakery?

I was hoping you'd try it out.

We'd be delighted.

Cake for everyone.

Thank you.

Here, I'll be right back.

Sorry, again. Shall we?

Are you okay?

Fine.

This way.

When did the pain start?

He's back again?

Poor Nurse Ozaki.

What's the story?

Neurogenic ulcer. But he insists on an operation.

This is his third time back since being released.

Maybe he likes hospitals?

More like Nurse Ozaki.

You think? That's what I suspected.

What else could it be?

Can't do it. I've got an important operation to prepare for.

But he says he's in pain.

He's lying. If he takes his medication, it'll go away.

Dr. Hamano?

Sorry I'm late.

I've got a job for you.

Outpatient emergencies. Think you can handle it?

What about the operation?

Never mind that.

Paging Dr. Takasugi. Please report to the outpatient clinic.

See? It's all part of the learning process.

Dr. Hamano, time for surgery...

Dr. Takasugi. This way.

Wait a second!

Your patient is waiting.

Down the hatch!

Heavenly.

Why don't you try some of this incredible stuff, Akagi?

Are you sure you want to be eating on duty?

You wouldn't want that rising surgeon of a husband to say...

Izumi, don't make me look bad, okay?

Would you mind not spoiling my moment of bliss?

Some nerve he has. Since when did he get so arrogant?

Asakura, have you finished premedi for Mr. Okita?

I'm on my way.

What are you eating?

Cake, silly. Try some?

Definitely not.

Look at the mess! Put that down! Quick, tissue!

Wipe your mouth. You're on duty!

Stop it! Cut it out!

What is going on?

What do we have here?

Mille-feuille. This is a crepe and this, I believe, is chestnut tart.

That's not what I meant.

Why is this in the nurse's station?

It's a gift from a former patient.

You accepted it?

Um... yes.

And you call yourself Head Nurse.

It's no wonder they passed you over.

You realize that you were in line to be named Chief Nurse, don't you?

And yet, they chose me. Why do you suppose that was?

After watching the way you work these past couple of days...

I think I understand their decision.

Hey Coach!

A present.

We knew you'd be bored stiff so we brought you this.

Look, we signed it.

Here's mine.

You can write?

You don't understand, Coach.

In a couple years, these will fetch big bucks.

Stop dreaming and start practicing.

Say, what's going on?

He's your soccer coach?

Yup.

You said you weren't interested in soccer

I'm not.

What do you mean?

Coaching is just a job.

Pass it here!

He faints left and shoots!

Sorry.

Could you grab that?

Gotcha.

Ready?

Asakura!

Ouch!

You scared the daylights out of me!

The Chief Nurse just humiliated me again. What are you going to do?

I don't know. She's your boss, isn't she?

It's because you were eating cake!

You're the one who accepted it.

Well, you didn't have to eat it.

Why not? That's what it's for.

Because you're on duty!

You of all should know I can't help myself around cake.

I'm supposed to take that into account?

You're just taking your frustrations out on me.

What frustrations?

That you weren't promoted to Chief Nurse, for one.

And, with your husband and daughter traveling in America...

it must get pretty lonely.

Ready?

Asakura!

We'll have the results for you on Monday. Can you come back then?

Will I need an operation?

Nope. Not to worry.

Yeah, but...

What?

You sure get a lot of nosebleeds.

Don't you have someplace else to be?

Oh, excuse me.

Kentaro.

Oh, it's you.

I retract that 'excuse me'. Give it here.

Over my dead body.

You know what? You're right. I do have someplace else to be.

No, wait.

Enjoy your meals.

Hey wait!

You weren't serious, were you?

About what?

You know... divorce.

Of course I'm serious. I've already got my next husband lined up.

Who?

Someone.

Yeah, right. Who would marry you?

Lots of people.

Okay, name one.

Mr. Okita.

What?

Now, there's a nice man, a true gentleman. Unlike you.

You're such a child. I'm not even going to listen to you.

You started this conversation.

Yummy.

Wakabakai Hospital School of Nursing

Nurse Ozaki, is that you?

How've you been?

Working hard?

You bet. The administrative chief's been advising us.

We've got some promising young nurses here.

I knew you'd do well.

We owe it all to you. We can't wait to work with everyone.

Same here.

It's Toru.

He says he's in the area.

Oh my God!

How do I look?

Ready.

What do you expect? They're kids.

So what's on your mind?

Do you have a moment?

Join me for lunch?

I'd love to.

Where's Nurse Ozaki?

May I help you?

I'd like to be admitted.

Your name?

Saruwatari. Ms. Ozaki?

Wait right there.

Does anyone know this gentleman?

He's not ill. He just likes it here.

You're joking.

He's got a thing for Nurse Ozaki.

That's preposterous.

Did you get a chance to try my cake?

Here. Take it.

Huh?

We're very busy.

We don't have time for the likes of you. Now please leave.

But I need surgery. I even packed my bags.

Do you want me to call security?

Scram!

I need surgery.

Beat it!

I see.

I feared you might not get along with the new chief.

Frankly...

I feel I've given everything I have to this job.

I know it's not always enough.

But this new chief seems to have condemned me from the start.

I wouldn't mind so much if she could be a little more specific.

Am I too lenient?

You're fine.

In fact, I recommended you for the promotion.

Oh no, I didn't mean to imply that I think I should've been...

I understand.

These things tend to get a little complicated.

I'm just sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Don't fret, dear.

Everyone at the hospital knows what a wonderful job you do.

It's just a matter of time.

Shall we eat?

Yes.

Stop following me!

Following you? You're in my way.

You!

What did I tell you? This time, I'm calling the police.

What's going on?

Idiot! Get back!

Who're you calling an idiot?

Not now.

Hey, you think that's real?

Yeah, it's real.

I wonder where he got it.

What?

Hey!

Ah! Just what are you planning to do?

Let's be rational here.

Hey, stop pushing!

Where's Nurse Ozaki?

Why? What do you want?

I'll only talk to her.

Hey!

Move it!

Who's responsible for this chart? It's missing vital data!

Don't embarrass me before an important operation!

Behind you...

What's with you girls?

Figures. More fun and games, eh?

Dr. Hamano, be careful!

Stay right there! Don't move! Don't mess with me!

What now?

And we're under way! The World Cup final!

Japan versus France.

Dr. Hamano just got himself caught. How crumsy.

Let me see.

Stop it! Get back!

Come on. Let me have a look.

I'll tell you what's happening.

I wanna see for myself.

Who's there?

Now what?

Beats me.

I'll go out. You hide in here.

But then...

Sneak out somehow and call for help, okay?

But then...

Don't worry. I'll be OK.

Why would a cat be in here?

Well...

Anyone in there?

Nope.

Oops. I answered him, didn't I?

Come out of there.

Anyone else?

Nope. Not a soul.

Honest.

It's just a cat.

Don't you know we're being held hostage here?

Gee, sorry I'm late.

Did you call the police?

No.

Why not?

You're so useless.

Is there a phone in the linen closet? Give me a break.

I guess it was silly of us to count on you

Beg your pardon?

This is my only hope.

Need a screwdriver. What have I got here?

The Meteorological Agency's forecast for 1 PM, June 30...

Inter-ward Talent Contest

What is this?

Hey.

Forget it.

This is hopeless.

What is that?

Nurse call.

Can I answer that?

Don't try anything funny.

Okay.

May I help you?

My IV's finished.

Okay.

Shouldn't you be preparing me for my operation?

Yes, of course. I'll be right there.

Patient in #608 needs his vitals taken. Can I go?

No. Stay here.

But he's scheduled for an operation.

Sorry. You'll go call the police.

I wouldn't do a thing like that.

What's that?

The telephone.

Watch what you say.

Yes, I know.

Wakabakai Hospital.

What? Yes... One moment, please.

It's for you.

Me?

Yes.

Nurse Ozaki?

Hello! Saruwatari speaking.

It's the police. You're surrounded. Release the hostages and come out.

Do you understand? Answer me!

Which one of you called the police?

How'd he sound?

He hung up.

I'll make the next call.

Take it easy. We've got time.

Which way?

Which way?

Um... right.

Right!

What's with him?

He's retiring. What do you expect?

This is the police!

This floor is now our command post!

We ask for your full cooperation!

What's with him?

Dunno.

Set them down here. Get the chairs.

And bring the radios!

Hurry. Time's wasting!

Quickly!

You! Hurry and close the door!

Me?

Yes, you!

The door! The door! So no one gets in!

Don't!

What do you plan to do?

I'm thinking.

Get out!

You're leaving!

Come on.

You too.

Me?

Guys make me nervous.

Dr. Hamano. Why do you get to go?

Don't complain to me. He ordered it.

Good luck, everybody!

How unfair!

Move!

Is this the bad guy?

Don't say it like that. I haven't done anything.

I believe you. Now just relax.

You did fire a gun though.

Yeah, but I didn't hurt anybody.

What do you want?

They wouldn't admit me.

Admit you?

Nurse Ozaki would've, but she wasn't in.

Who is this Ozaki?

She's a nurse here: Nice lady with short hair.

Hold on.

Me?

Hurry.

Um... hello?

Who are you?

I'm Izumi Asakura. Actually, my married name is Takasugi.

But I go by Asakura at work.

Stop babbling.

Are you in with him?

No. I'm a nurse here.

I see. And who's Ozaki?

What? Oh. She's my boss.

A nurse?

She's Head Nurse.

Where is she now?

You know? She went out a while ago and hasn't returned.

Sometimes she can be so irresponsible.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry.

Hey you! Get back!

What happened?

Never mind. Just get back.

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, Babe! It's me. Surprised?

You're not still mad at me, are you?

Who's there?

Come on out!

Grab that!

What?

That?

Awesome!

Let go, you wench!

I thought I was a dead man.

Izumi, are you okay?

Oww.

This sucks.

Anyone else hiding back there?

You better come out now or these girls will get it!

Aha! Where have you been this whole time?

Over here. Now!

You better start taking me seriously.

Hey, what did I tell you?

I am a nurse here!

I don't care. I'll arrest you for obstruction!

I've got to get in there! Let go of me!

Stop!

Get your hands off of me!

What's going on?

Sir, this woman insists on going inside.

You their superior officer?

Well... yes.

I'm a nurse here. Those are my nurses and patients in there.

Okay, relax. May I ask your name?

Shoko Ozaki.

Ozaki?

That's right.

Come with us.

Now what?

May I help you?

I'm still waiting for a nurse.

Wait a moment please.

It's Mr. Okita in #608.

Oh, that's right.

Mr. Okita? I'll go.

You don't have to.

What? And let you score points with Mr. Okita? Not a chance.

Not you. You'll definitely try something.

You go.

Japan gets a free kick right outside the penalty area!

We interrupt this program...

Hey, no way! What is this?

A hostage crisis is unfolding in the city of Miharu.

Just past 1 PM, an armed man stormed into Wakabakai Hospital...

Hey, that's us!

You're right. Turn it up.

Let's go live to the scene.

I'm outside of Wakabakai Hospital where an armed man...

...has taken control of the surgical ward on the 6th floor.

Patients and staff from the other wards have all been evacuated.

But we know that several nurses and patients have been taken hostage.

Hey, I haven't seen you around before. Are you from another ward?

What's the matter? Are you alright?

Dr. Takasugi.

Be quiet. Don't say a word.

Very funny.

Why are you dressed like that?

He can't know I'm a guy. I've got to catch him off guard.

Fat chance.

What did you say?

I'm saying it's not that simple.

You two. What are you doing?

Nothing. Why?

Mr. Okita. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Izumi?

Sorry for the delay. There's a lot going on.

Say Izumi?

Yes?

Is it true an armed madman has occupied this hospital?

How did you know?

It's on TV.

See for yourself.

Hey, you're right. That's us!

Look at all the police cars. Wow!

Hey, I could be on TV.

Someone is waving from a balcony on the 6th floor.

It appears to be one of the hostages, a nurse.

She seems to be smiling. Perhaps it's the stress of confinement.

Yes, she's smiling broadly and waving at the cameras.

This from a balcony on the 6th floor.

What?

We have Nurse Ozaki.

Nurse Ozaki?

Put her on.

Not so fast. Release the hostages first.

I can't do that.

Listen, we did what you asked. We brought you Ms. Ozaki.

Show some good faith. It doesn't have to be all of them.

Alright. I'll give you one. Hold on.

I will go.

What?

Just one, right? I should be it.

Why?

I'm new here. Whatever is between you and Ozaki came before me.

This has nothing to do with me.

Chief, don't you think that's a bit selfish?

What about us?

Take us with you.

You can fend for yourselves.

I smell a coward.

Unbelievable, after all your pretensions

Now we see your true colors.

It's not my problem.

I'm back.

What's going on?

Nurse Ozaki's returned. She's going to talk to him.

Really? That's great. Now, we'll be saved.

Don't get your hopes up.

He's only releasing one hostage. This is going to drag on.

Takasugi! What are you doing in that outfit?

He's trying to save us.

How's he gonna do that?

What are you doing?

Nothing, why?

That's right, nothing.

This is a new arrival to our ward. His name is Kentaro... no...

I mean, her name is... Kenko.

She's a bit masculine but I assure you, she's a woman.

Okay, so she doesn't shave her legs.

She's allergic to those creams.

Dr. Takasugi!

Someone is coming out. Is it a hostage or the suspect?

It looks like a man dressed as a nurse.

The suspect could be trying to disguise himself.

No, you got it all wrong.

Gotcha!

It's not me!

What? You think we're stupid or something?

Let me explain. Stop that!

Ow! Listen to me!

The police are apprehending the suspect now.

Where are you going?

Take it easy.

I'm a doctor here. Why won't you believe me?

Chief, we seem to have our man.

No, you don't.

Dr. Takasugi!

This man is one of our doctors.

A doctor?

Help me, Nurse Ozaki.

He's really a doctor here?

Yes.

Why's he dressed like that?

I don't know.

What happened to you, Doctor?

I was hoping to rescue the hostages.

Dressed like that?

I thought it was a good idea at the time.

Please, he isn't a dangerous person. Could you release him?

Uncuff him.

But boss...

Just do it.

Uncuff him.

Thank you.

Are you alright?

Dr. Hamano.

You should've told me.

What?

Look, if you've got a problem, we can discuss it.

Huh?

Let's talk over here.

Talk about what?

Pretty interesting hospital you got here.

I'm sorry.

Okay, try not to say anything that'll excite him.

And keep talking as long as you can. It'll give us time to maneuver.

I understand.

Hello?

Nurse Ozaki?

Mr. Saruwatari.

I'm so happy to hear your voice.

Can you tell me why you're doing this?

I wanted to stay here again.

But you're fine now.

You're cured. Aren't you glad to be healthy again?

Remember how relieved you were at the farewell party we had for you?

I was very happy.

Then why?

I got lonely at home.

In the hospital, all I had to do was hit a buzzer...

and a cheerful nurse would come running.

But at home, there's no one to take care of me.

So I returned.

But your new chief turned me away.

I know how you feel.

But this is wrong. You know that, right?

Please stop this and come out, okay?

I can't.

Why? If you really liked everyone here, then...

It's too late. They'll arrest me.

It's not too late. You haven't hurt anyone.

Thanks for talking to me, Ms. Ozaki.

No, wait!

Hello?

That's funny.

Several nurses and perhaps 5-10 patients are still captive.

The standoff continues at Wakabakai Hospital.

Say... I bet you're getting a little hungry by now.

No, not really.

See?

Oops.

It's him.

What is it? Change of heart?

Actually, we'd like some food.

Alright, we'll see what we can do.

We'll order something.

What?

So what would you like?

Anything's fine.

Don't be shy. You can order anything you want.

I'm low on cash.

The police will pay for it.

Really?

I think so.

Excuse me but you guys will pay for it, right?

Say what?

The police will cover the bill, right?

Um... sure.

The police are buying.

Really?

Order away.

What do you say about pizza?

I'm on a diet. Can we order soba noodles?

You'll just be hungry again soon.

Chinese, with pot stickers and fried rice.

I had Chinese last night. I'd prefer something else.

Oh no! I have a date at a French restaurant tonight!

I'm never going to make it.

Let's get something we usually can't afford.

You stay out of this.

Nothing expensive, you hear?

He says nothing expensive.

How about Tandoori chicken?

Look, we gotta settle on something.

You choose, then.

Choice Cut Korean barbecue.

That's 3000 a head!

No way!

The police are paying.

How many chances like this do we have?

Then Korean barbecued beef it is!

Choice Cut Korean Barbecue? Who do you think we are!

Your nurses, right?

What sort of training do you give them?

To be cheerful and po... positive at all times... I'm sorry.

I'm gonna kill her.

Stop, stop, stop!

Sorry but you can't get through.

But I must.

Back up. Go!

No wait... listen to me.

Captain, the Korean barbecue's here.

The police are escorting a vehicle onto the premises.

The vehicle reads Choice Cut. It appears to be a food delivery van.

Choice Cut here. I've brought your order.

Coming!

Come in.

Food's here!

Mr. Saruwatari?

Gee, thanks!

Thank you.

They're all clustered here. The suspect is with them.

He's acting alone, then.

Yes, it looked that way.

Does he look agitated?

I don't know about agitated, but he seemed awful hungry.

He practically dove at the food.

He's nearing the edge.

Let's go in!

Relax!

Um...

You will be careful, right?

I beg you.

Of course. Don't worry.

That was great.

Korean barbecue was the right choice after all.

And now...

May I have your attention, please?

We also have dessert. I'll be right back.

It just so happens today is Mr. Saruwatari's birthday.

What?

Right?

You remembered?

I thought we'd have a little party.

Why should we do that?

Do you know what's going on?

That man is holding us hostage.

You're so ditsy.

But we always celebrate patients' birthdays.

You do that, too?

Look. There's plenty of cake left.

Didn't Chief throw it all out?

I know. You hid it in the fridge, didn't you?

Ur... well.

Well whatever. Here, I could only find this emergency candle.

Take a seat, birthday boy.

All together now.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you...

Come on, everybody.

Happy birthday, dear Mr. Saruwatari.

Chief.

I came as soon as I heard the news.

How is everybody?

No one's hurt, but I wasn't around when it happened.

You mustn't blame yourself.

Saeko! What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same question.

What? I work here.

Dr. Mizushima.

Sorry I'm late. How is it up there?

Patients still trapped?

Yes.

What about the operation?

We've got about 2 hours.

And after that?

We're out of luck. The organ won't last.

Excuse me, Captain. I want to go in there

What?

Trade everyone for me.

No way.

Those are my nurses.

I'll take it from here.

Who is it?

It's me.

Ms. Ozaki? Is it really you?

Yes.

Do me a favor?

What?

Exchange me for the others.

At least release the patients.

Ms. Ozaki!

Come in. Come in.

Izumi did that.

Look, it's Nurse Ozaki!

Asakura.

Hi, Boss.

Just what is going on here?

Mr. Saruwatari's birthday party.

Care to join us?

You serious?

Come, come. Take a load off.

There's one tasty tart left.

Hey, I was going to eat that.

You still eating?

Of course.

Asakura!

Alright, don't have a fit. Here, I'll give you half.

Really? Cut it evenly now...

This way?

Just move the chestnut...

How about if...

Knock it off!

People are worried sick and you're in here having a party.

Don't you realize what a major ordeal this has become?

Ms. Ozaki? Don't be mad at Izumi. She remembered my birthday...

As for you, I want you to give up this foolish charade! Now!

This is great.

That's exactly how you used to yell at me...

whenever we caused a ruckus after lights out.

Don't be silly. Now start tidying this place up.

Right.

That means everyone.

Yes, ma'am.

Chief, stop eating and help.

Akagi, put this away.

Here, Mr. Saruwatari.

Gotcha.

Chief!

Asakura!

Where are you going?

Don't be stupid.

You've got surgery...

My operation won't wait!

Don't do this!

Mr. Okita!

Get back here!

A-team, you ready?

In position, Sir.

Good. Wait for my signal.

B-team, prepare to cut power.

What the hell are you doing?

We're going to cut the lights and go in.

No, you are not!

We've got Nurse Ozaki talking to him.

Now is the time. This is our best chance.

Stop!

Hey, jerkweed!

I've had enough.

No, stop!

Because of you, my operation's canceled. You understand?

You know how long I've waited for this?

I had to put my soccer career on hold.

I finally find a donor and you come and screw it up.

Mr. Okita!

Get back!

Get back!

I'll shoot.

Then shoot. I dare you!

Mr. Okita, stop this!

Don't shoot, you hear me?

Stay back!

A-team, can you see inside?

Suspect's got a gun on a patient.

Is the patient hurt?

Can't confirm.

Don't move!

Take it easy.

Let's not get carried away. Let's talk this over.

Don't do anything rash, okay, Mr. Okita?

A patient is down. I think he's been shot.

Mr. Okita!

Mr. Okita!

Don't worry. You're going to be alright. Try to relax.

His ulcer could be bleeding. Get me a stomach tube.

I didn't do it!

He finally did it!

We're going in!

Wait!!

Here.

Start an IV.

I'm inserting this in your nose.

When it reaches your throat, swallow.

That's it. Gulp it down.

Sorry.

Let me through.

Don't do this.

Stand back.

You're nuts.

Cut the power.

What now?

Move! Let's go!

Stop! Stop it!

Freeze!

Stay back!

Izumi!

Stop this! It's over.

Please, I beg you.

Asakura!

Izumi!

Don't move!

Hold on, Izumi!

Just hold on!

Izumi!

Stretcher!

Hurry!

Lay her down.

Asakura!

Hold on, Izumi!

Apply pressure!

Izumi!

Hold on!

She's losing lots of blood.

Hurry it up!

Coming through!

Quickly!

Hurry up!

Get Mr. Okita!

Okay, let's go!

One, two, three!

To ER!

Hurry!

Let's move!

Move out of the way! Come on, Izumi!

Almost there, Izumi!

Hold on! You can do it!

Asakura!

You're gonna be okay.

Move! Move!

Coming through!

Izumi in front, Okita in back!

This way!

Let's go!

Okita in back!

One, two, three.

One, two, three!

10cc of Isozol. Remove that stretcher!

First, we stop the bleeding.

Right.

The suspect is being taken away. How's it here?

I told you not to go in!

Asakura.

Dr. Mizushima. Over here.

Can you handle it alone?

I'll do what I can.

Yell if you need me.

Okay.

Prepare for surgery.

I'll call a surgical nurse.

We don't have time.

But...

Just do it!

Okay.

Prepare the anesthetic!

Close the doors!

Right!

Emergency Room

Scalpel.

You okay?

What's wrong?

We all know who she is.

But if you don't do it, she'll die!

I'll call Dr. Hamano.

Kentaro...

Kentaro, where are you?

Izumi?

Izumi?

Nurse Ozaki. I'm okay. I'll do it.

Scalpel.

Clamp.

Cautery.

Retractor.

Okay.

Suction.

Blood pressure's below 40.

More blood.

Cardiac arrest.

Defibrillator.

It's at 250.

Stand back.

Again. Go to 300.

Get back!

Good. Get me more xylocaine and plasmanate.

I can't find the source of the bleeding

We're low. Go get some more.

4-0 Proline.

Here you are.

Damn! I can't stop the bleeding.

I'll get Dr. Hamano.

Somebody, open up!

6-0 Proline.

Dr. Hamano, we need your help.

Can't do it. I'm connecting the renal artery.

What's wrong?

It's the aorta. It's still bleeding.

He's got to manage without us.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Thank you.

Found it!

How is she?

This ought to do it.

At last. Bleeding's stopped.

Don't do this, Izumi!

Hold on, Asakura!

Come on!

Fight Izumi!

Asakura! Come on! Fight!

I'm here.

Breathe, dammit!

You can do it! You hear me?

How long?

40 minutes.

Hold on!

Fight, dammit!

Please God!

You've got to breathe!

Get back here!

That's an order!

You can breathe, come on!

Keep fighting, Asakura!

Doctor?

No... No way! No, Asakura!

Come on, wake up. Wake up, now!

Come on, Asakura!

Wake up, damn you!

Why? Don't do this!

Please, wake up. Please!

Asakura...

Izumi. Wake up. You hear me?

Don't you want to see the ocean?

The plane's leaving. Hurry up or we'll miss it.

You hear me, Izumi?

Just look at all that food: Fish, crab, papayas...

They even got your favorite sticky buns

Wake up or there won't be any left!

Okay? Izumi!

Izumi!

Izumi, come back.

Izumi?

Izumi! That's right! Get back here!

Asakura!

Izumi!

Noradrenaline?

Asakura!

Get the anesthetic.

What about a drape?

I'll get it. Prepare the sutures.

She made it!

Call in the ICU.

Yes, Sir.

Good morning!

Welcome back, Nurse Oshima.

Thanks. You seem back in form, Asakura.

I sure am. Have a look.

Hey.

Where'd you get that hat?

What, this?

Nurse Oshima is our new Head Nurse.

She really looks the part, too.

I knew all along you'd get it.

Me too.

Address her properly, nurses. She's Head Nurse now.

What's it to you?

Everything. Once I'm Head Surgeon, we'll be the talk of the town.

He's been that way all morning. Somebody better do something.

If you thought I was tough before, just wait, girls.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, if Ms. Oshima is Head Nurse, what happened to Nurse Ozaki?

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning.

After the incident, we had to make a few changes.

But we've finally settled on a new Chief Nurse.

Let me introduce her to you.

Chief?

As of today, I will be serving as your new Chief Nurse.

It's a large duty, but one I promise to faithfully fulfill.

I ask for your support and cooperation.

What do you say?

Welcome, Chief Nurse.

Boss, you did it!

Asakura?

Boss!

Asakura!

Congratulations!

Thanks!

I thought you were fired.

What?

Seeing Nurse Oshima promoted...

Well, thanks a lot.

Let me see your hat.

Two stripes, see?

Great, huh?

Some things never change.

Can we start our briefing now, Chief?

What? Oh yes, of course.

Honestly. You're Chief Nurse now. Show a little professionalism.

Asakura!

Oops, sorry.

Kindly remain seated. 'Cos this isn't the ending yet...

This is heaven!

Hm? Hey, where's the breeze?

What? How'd that happen?

Hurry.

I think it's busted.

And here I was just getting into it.

I'm sorry.

I want you to swear to me that we'll go next year.

I swear. I swear.

Absolutely?

Yup.

Then seal it with a kiss.

Right.
