Original subtitles

We think that it's quite normal

to travel to the other side of the world if we want to.

To be able to communicate your thoughts whenever you feel.

It's commonplace

to wish for this little piece of happiness to continue forever,

like a night where the silence of the dark has been forgotten.

But what if one day, all of a sudden...

you lose everything that is important to you.

Your freedom like a bird,

your very fulfilled life,

and the glow of the night... If you were to lose it all...

If you were plunged into

the darkness of the night.

Would you be able to find

the twinkle in the night sky?

Would you try to grab onto that light?

Or would you rather attempt to provide brightness

to a world without light

with those two hands of yours?

Jin - Episode 1 -

A patient was discovered at Keishi Park unconscious.

Sex: male. Age: unknown. Many bruises and internal bleeding in the face.

There is a laceration from his right forehead to the back of the head.

Doctor, why won't you perform my surgery?

You've been taking care of me all this time.

Well... [Minakata Jin - Neurosurgeon]

It's a very difficult procedure. [Minakata Jin - Neurosurgeon]

Are you adamant that you won't do it?

Dr. Sugita is a far superior doctor than I am.

I'm positive that it's better this way.

It's for your own good, Tamada-san.

Doctor, why won't you operate?

I understand that Dr. Sugita is a great doctor, but...

- Tamada-san has faith in you, Doctor. - Ouch!

I added too much water.

I'm actually quite clumsy.

I put in too much hot water sometimes.

I'm that kind of guy.

Dr. Minakata, we have a patient in emergency. Could you take a look at him?

Okay, got it. I'll be right over.

It's an acute epidural hematoma, but there is more than that.

There is a tumor between the pineal gland and the cerebral ventricle.

Also, there is a complication of hydrocephalus.

How about the other doctors?

It's only you in the neurosurgery department.

This type of a procedure would be a piece of cake for you, right?

We will open his head and remove the hematoma.

If there is no damage in the cerebral parenchyma,

we will remove the tumor as it is.

Yes, sir!

Anesthetics is done.

First, we will remove the epidural hematoma.

Opening the head.

Air-powered drill.

Saw.

Removing hematoma.

We will proceed with removing the tumor.

Prepare a microscope.

After suction give me a bipolar.

I can see the tumor now.

Micro-forceps No.7.

This is... a fetal tissue component?

In his skull

there is a fetus in fetu?

I've heard of these cases in toddlers and younger children, but

it's obvious that this patient is an adult.

Let's remove it first and wait for the pathological diagnosis.

Detach the tumor from the cerebral parenchyma.

Is there something wrong?

No.

I'm fine.

Why is Dr. Minakata like that?

It's not as if he's bad at surgeries.

I wonder if he is lazy.

- Did you start working here this month? - Yes.

Then I guess you don't know about Dr. Tomonaga.

Know what?

Dr. Tomonaga was

an extraordinary surgeon and Dr. Jin's girlfriend.

They seem to have known each other since college days, but

they started dating 3 years ago when Dr. Tomonaga came to this hospital.

When they were considering marriage,

they found a tumor in her brain stem.

A tumor in the brain stem?

It was considered hopeless, but

Dr. Minakata decided to operate.

Minakata!

It's absolutely impossible.

It'll be fine.

If we approach from the sub-occipital and transcondylar.—

The tumor is embedded in the brain stem!

What if you damage the surrounding brain stem? This isn't an operation! It's an experiment!

If we don't do anything, we're just waiting for imminent death anyway!

This is also the wish of the patient.

If we succeed with this surgery,

thousands of people can have hope.

"Even if we don't succeed,

it's worth to serve as an example,"

is what she said.

Back then, Dr. Minakata was full of hopes and wills,

and Dr. Tomonaga trusted Dr. Minakata.

- Should we go now? - Everyone wanted to believe for a miracle to happen.

Unexpectedly, the tumor is entwined in the main artery.

What should we do, Minakata?

Maybe we should stop.

I'm going to continue.

- Minakata! - I'm the lead surgeon!

Excising the cerebellum.

Increase the heat of the bipolar from 20 to 30.

In the end, they were able to remove the tumor.

During the procedure, the main artery was damaged and caused massive bleeding.

As a result, Dr. Tomonaga

turned into a vegetative state.

After that, Dr. Minakata

would pass difficult surgeries on to other doctors.

But in return,

he took on more work so that the other doctors could concentrate on surgeries.

He'd take over other doctor's night shifts.

I can't bring myself to blame Dr. Minakata.

Miki?

I found something crazy today!

Fetus in fetu. (Tissue resembling a fetus)

You want to have a look, don't you?

What do you say? Want to try waking up?

Could you start drinking these already?

You wanted to drink badly!

Say something?

You're so unsociable.

You know what?

I think that the sunset from here is the prettiest.

You're exaggerating!

I bet there are much nicer sunsets in the Caribbean Islands and Himalayas.

You don't get it, do you?

After you do an honorable job at hospital, watch the sunset.

That's what makes it so beautiful.

Oh, that's what you mean.

It's even nicer when you have one of these.

Hey!

Let me have a sip!

No, you can't! You're having surgery tomorrow!

- Just one! Come on! - Hey! No!

Hey, can't you join me?

I said, no!

Come on! This might be my last time!

Sorry.

It's not that I don't trust you.

But you know... What if... ?

Sorry.

The truth is...

I should be the one to trust you the most.

I know you're under a lot of pressure,

but you're trying your best to act normal.

Even so,

I'm so scared.

I didn't know it could be so scary to have an operation.

I had no clue all this time.

This is a good learning experience.

I'm scared, too.

I'm really scared.

I keep thinking what if I'd make a mistake.

In a time like this, I try to remember

your favorite saying.

"God only puts forth challenges which you can conquer."

Oh, yeah. That's right.

After your surgery, should we go see the sunset in the Himalayas for our honeymoon?

And in order to set your negative thinking straight!

I don't want to!

You can help me set my negative thinking straight by having a beer with me here.

Hey, you can't! Hey come on!

It's cold!

I guess you don't need the hat anymore, huh?

Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Please give it back!

Why?

Are you embarrassed?

Dr. Minakata?

I'm so sorry. I was out of line without knowing your situation.

However, I still feel like you should be the one to operate on Tamada-san.

I know it's inappropriate to think this way, but

if another doctor operates on him and fails the surgery,

Tamada-san's soul will not rest in peace.

Considering your past, I understand your fear.

Isn't it a doctor's responsibility to face his own fear for the sake of the patient?

As a doctor, that's how you earn respect, facing fears alongside your patients, isn't it?

There is no human being who doesn't get hurt from making mistakes.

Doctor, you're a coward.

What you're doing is getting others to get hurt on your behalf.

That's exactly right.

What?

That's exactly right.

Don't become a doctor like me.

I'm being called.

Yes.

The patient's wound appears to be the result of stabbing to the head with a sharp object like a knife.

He had a skull fracture and an acute extradural hematoma, so we performed an emergency surgery.

His face has many bruises, so we can't see his facial features.

As for his age, he seems to be in his 30's to 40's.

His height is approximately 180 cm.

Medium build.

Blood Type is A/RH+.

- Is he conscious? - He has not regained consciousness.

He's required to be on bedrest for quite some time.

Please contact us at the police station once he regains consciousness.

Um...

why was he attacked?

To be honest, we have no idea.

Anyhow, we couldn't find anything to determine his identity.

Our only option is to interview him when he wakes up.

Were there any other physical attributes which you might have noticed?

I'm not sure if this information would be of any help, but

we found a tumor, so we removed it.

A tumor?

A very rare tumor in the shape of a fetus.

A fetus?

It might actually be a real fetus.

Are you okay?

Doctor?

I'm fine.

I haven't slept much lately.

He is still in and out of consciousness.

His vitals are steady.

I see.

I hope he gets well enough soon to at least tell us his name.

Please call me if anything comes up.

Yes.

I'll give this to you.

Sugita?

I found it inside of my desk the other day.

I saw the tumor you removed.

It's crazy, isn't it? No matter how you look at it, it's a fetus, right?

Professor Saito seemed to have an interest in it, too.

He told me to have an autopsy done as soon as possible

before the medical conference.

Not surprising.

Well, that's what he told me,

but why don't you do it?

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to come across a clinical case like this.

I'm sure Miki-chan isn't thrilled

to see you in such a state.

There's always a shortage of onsite physicians, and I have my responsibilities of taking care of her.

If I had the time to write a thesis, I'd rather be sleeping.

Well, call me anytime if you change your mind.

Ouch, what is this?

Timing and Segments brought to you by The Time Traveler Team @Viki

Opportunity, huh?

I must be losing my mind.

- Doctor, the patient disappeared from his room. - What?

Looks like he took some medicine.

Are you alright?

Let's go back.

It's too risky for you to move around.

Why are you doing this?

Why... do you have that?

We must go back.

We must go back

to that world.

Wait!

Stop right there! Wait!

What just happened?

Where am I?

That man... why did he take these?

Wait, don't let them get away.

Hey, is someone there? Help me, please!

Don't let them get away!

Historical drama? What... are they filming?

Prepare to die!

- It's real blood. - Who's there?

Well... I am just passing by.

Your appearance looks suspicious. I can't let you go since you saw us. Be prepared to die!

- Any injuries? - Oh… no!

Then run! Hurry!

- Hurry! - Okay!

Die!

Hey, someone is coming!

Hey! What are you guys doing over there?

This is bad. It's Noto Clan. Let's go.

Let's go!

Are you okay?

How's Chubei? My companion over there.

I'm sorry (he's deceased).

And you are?

I'm a doctor.

I don't think I'm going to live.

No, there may be a chance.

I might live?

That's if we can operate on you.

Please don't laugh at me...

for being a coward samurai.

If I were to die here right now, my family will be ruined.

My mother and younger sister will be destitute.

I beg you. I can't afford to die right here.

We are retainers from the Edo clan. What exactly is going on?

I live on an alley of Yushima 4-chome, Jyubokudani.

A retainer of Ogasawara Junzaburo, Kobushin-gumi (special police force).

I am Tachibana Kyotaro.

I was attacked by three strange men and my companion was stabbed...

Lord Tachibana, Lord Tachibana, are you alright?

Get a hold of yourself.

You! What are you doing?

Your garments are rather strange. Are you a Westerner?

I am a doctor.

Doctor? Western medical practitioner?

It's possible that he has an acute epidural hematoma. He could die if I don't operate on him within 30 minutes to an hour.

A-Acute... operate on him?

What are you saying?

Anyway, please help me move him.

Am I dreaming?

If so... what a long, realistic dream.

Please, this way. (Tachibana Family Residence - Yushima)

Chubei! Kyotaro!

- How did this happen? - Older Brother!

Saki! Please bring me something to cover him.

Please... ca-carry him into a room.

Your son is still alive.

Is he alive?

If I operate on him now, there is a good chance that I can save him, so let me treat him.

O-ope... what do you mean?

Operation means surgery.

Surgery...

I can treat him. That means I can fix his injury.

Excuse me. Who are you?

I am Minakata Jin, a surgeon.

But... are you a Western medical practitioner?

We can talk later!

Right now, I have to operate on him within 30 minutes to one hour.

Look, we have less than 30 minutes.

If you want to save your son, please take him into a room now.

I am begging you. Please excuse me.

This, this, this, this and this. Please boil them in hot water.

Boiling a hammer?

That's right. Please do it as quickly as you can.

But... what are you going to do with these?

I need to use these to extract the blood building up in your brother's head.

Use these to extract blood?

Do you have bandages or gauze?

Ga-Gau... ?

This is it. Please cut these into 20 cm squares after you boil them.

20 cm squares?

About this big. I can use those as gauze.

These will be gauze?

Also, I'm borrowing these.

Do you have an antiseptic solution?

- Oh... - Antiseptic solution?

Or, do you have Shochu? (liquor distilled from potato or buckwheat)?

I do.

I placed him as you instructed. Does this meet your requirements?

Too dark. Are these all the lights you have?

Huh?

Forget it. Please get out of this room.

I can't stay here?

If you want to save your son, you must do as I say.

Tools for carpenters, what is he going to do with these?

I'm not sure, but the doctor told me to boil them for something called an operation.

That Western medical practitioner... What is he going to do to Kyotaro?

Good.

Needles for sutures.

A needle holder, scalpels, and forceps.

Clamp, Kocher forceps, syringe and Cooper.

Surgical gloves, suture threads, and syringe needles.

I even have Lidocain for local anesthetic. Thank goodness.

I brought a chisel, a hammer and everything else.

Thank you. Please leave them there without entering the room.

Ah... yes.

Geez, these really are carpenter's tools!

"God only puts forth challenges which you can conquer."

Please don't, Mother. Doctor told us not to enter.

I told you to stay away from this room!

Without any explanation, I can't allow it.

I'd like to keep this room sanitized.

How rude. Are you telling me that I am dirty?

That's not what I meant.

A Western medical practitioner is...

another name for a murderer! You cannot be trusted!

If... if you kill Kyotaro,

I will kill you on the spot, and I will kill myself as well.

Alright.

However, you must not panic, whatever you see in here.

What are you going to do with tongs?

Hemostasis. With this, I will stop the bleeding.

Good.

What do you do with that?

Oh? I can't crack it.

Alright. As I thought, he has a hemotoma.

Do you...

Do you call this an operation?

You cracked his skull, so how could he still be alive?

Your son has a build-up of blood in his head!

- What have we done to deserve this? - I have to remove the blood!

- Murderer! - For that, I need to open his skull!

Please listen to me!

What are you doing? Please stop!

Can you see

the pool of blood? That is so-called a hematoma.

If I do nothing, the build-up of blood will compress his brain

and your son will eventually die!

I'm not your enemy, but this is a pool of blood.

I'm sorry. I don't have much time.

Younger Sister, are you there?

Yes.

If the operation drags on any longer, your brother's life will be at risk.

I'd like you to help me, but are you okay with seeing blood?

I can handle it. Saki is a daughter of a samurai.

Then, can you change into a clean kimono?

Minakata-sama. I... would like to help as well.

Okay.

I'm suturing.

We did it.

Are you sure you cured him?

He still has a hole in his head.

The hole isn't a problem. It depends on how fast he recovers. If he survives the next three days, he should be fine.

Three days... If he survives, he can live?

Yes.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Mother, he can live...

It's too early... to say he will live.

That means that we don't know anything until three days later.

My father died from cholori four years ago.

Cholori... do you mean cholera?

Cholera is a different name for cholori?

No. Please don't mind me.

I heard the disease spread from the West.

He was treated by a medical practitioner,

but he died after he received a strange treatment.

After that, my mother came to hate anything to do with the West.

This may sound like an excuse,

so please have mercy on her and forgive her rudeness.

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Time Travelers Team @ Viki

Are you awake?

What happened to me?

Doctor, you fell down the stairs and underwent surgery for an acute epidural hematoma.

Don't you remember?

I do remember.

I fell down the stairs and time-traveled to the Edo era.

I operated on a samurai who was injured.

Huh?

It's true.

Doctor. You should listen to Doctor Minakata.

Miki...

I was your primary surgeon.

It was a dream.

I see that you are awake.

What year is it now?

2nd year of Bunkyu (1862).

Is this the Edo era?

Yes, we are in Edo (place).

I mean... who is the shogun— the ruler of this country now?

What?

Has the Black Ship arrived yet? ( In 1844, Japan re-opened a port to Westerners. )

Yes. I think about ten years ago. ( In 1844, Japan reopened a port to Westerners. )

Should I prepare your meal?

Yeah.

If I find it, I'm sure I can go back.

I'm going back to my world.

We have no time to spare.

Please save my mother.

I'm coming with you.

It'll be fine.

Am I being punished?

Let's go home.

Am I able to go home?

Changing history is a God-forbiddin action.

For this country to rise above,

that is the only path we should follow.

I'm from Tosa.

There should be something I can help you with.

This place cannot be this beautiful.

Is this normal?

Huh?

Well... aren't there any side dishes?

I'm sorry.

We may be a shogunal vassal, but we're only an estate of 150 koku. ( 1 koku = ~1 cubic meter )

No, that's not what I meant.

Do you normally eat a lot of rice?

Huh?

Ah... forget it.

Thank you for the meal.

Delicious!

Rice tastes better when it's cooked in a pot.

Is there a way to cook rice without a pot?

Good.

I found this in my brother's room.

Thank you.

What kind of tool is that?

Well, you know…

How come you have short hair?

Well, yes.

The white garments you were wearing, did those come from a foreign country?

You can say that, I guess.

Then, you were at Nagasaki (where the Western ship arrived)?

Kyotaro has awakened.

He is recovering fine.

Let him rest a little more.

Lord Minakata, thank you very much for saving him.

What's this?

A token of my gratitude.

But you don't have to do this.

Please allow me to do so.

I mean it. Besides, Kyotaro-san saved my life.

So please.

Then, at least let me call you a carriage.

Where is your residence?

I'm sorry. I don't remember.

What do you mean you… don't remember?

When I fell down in the forest, I must've hit my head.

I don't remember my past.

I've heard a similar story.

But you do remember your name, don't you?

I do. I think.

I remember some things but not everything.

How convenient for you.

I can look into finding your identity.

There aren't many Western medical practitioners,

- so I can find out quickly. - No! Don't bother.

I'm not a Western medical practitioner, so...

I'm sure my memory will come back soon,

so please don't mind me. Please.

Come to think of it...

why did he take that?

Let's go back to that world.

If I find him, can I go back?

The specimen...

is the key.

Does Lord Minakata intend on staying here for a while?

He doesn't seem to remember where he lives,

so why don't we let him stay here for now.

I think he's lying.

His story doesn't match up.

He remembers his name but not his residence.

He panicked when we offered to look for his identity.

He may be... a wanted criminal.

He doesn't seem like a bad person.

Even if he is,

he is my savior.

It's only right for us to help him.

- However-- - I am the head of the household.

If you are a head,

you should act in a reflective manner.

I think I do.

Is that so? The reason why you were attacked is

because you always go to

a place called Katsu which favors the Westerners.

Because you were blinded by what is in vogue,

you ended up suffering a misfortune.

Teacher Katsu's assertion...

for this country to rise above

should be the only path we should follow.

If I lose another head of this household,

the Tachibana family's future will be doomed.

I am grateful for Lord Minakata.

However, I don't want to be caught up in his mess.

I promised your father on his death bed

that no matter what, I would protect the Tachibana family.

But, Mother, Father is...

Well, it's nothing.

Dr. Minakata, you forgot these.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Time Traveler Team @Viki

Thank you for the meal.

I just remembered who I am, so I'll take my leave.

Doctor...

If I find it, I can go back.

It's like I was brought here because of that.

Hey... Formalin-kun.

Where did it go?

Why is this happening to me?

This place...

Is this the Kanda River?

If I fall in again,

maybe I can go back?

Stop!

Let's go back to that world.

Stop! What are you doing?

Ow.

You are a fool.

There is no reason to rush since humans die eventually.

It's only natural for humans to die someday.

You must be a fool to trouble yourself to commit suicide.

You are wrong.

Something so simple, but you don't know that?

I wasn't trying to kill myself.

Fool! You are a fool.

I said, I wasn't trying to kill myself.

Let me go.

Because you were looking down the cliff,

I thought you were about to kill yourself.

I was trying to get home.

Home?

Is your house at the bottom of the cliff?

That's right.

I see. I see.

I'm sorry to disturb you, then.

Not at all.

You are not a samurai?

I am a doctor.

Doctor? Is that right?

Then, there is no way a doctor takes a life lightly.

Right.

Well, I'm terribly sorry.

I am the one who is a fool.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me your name?

I mean, I thought I heard your voice.

Well, I was speaking to you.

That's not it.

My name?

Hey!

Geez... where did you disappear to?

We almost lost you. Come on!

Alright, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Next time we meet, tell me where you live.

I am staying in Edo for a while.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Never mind that. Excuse me. Tell me your name.

Excuse me!

Where did he go?

Hey, wait for me.

Uncle, do you want to buy it?

Amazing. This is for real.

Thank you for your purchase.

What?

Make way!

- Make way! - His descendant was a mail carrier?

Hello, there. Your hair style is unique.

What is that? Is that a new trend?

No.

Never mind, then. Black Rice Inari is over there.

Black Rice Inari? ( Inari: rice stuffed in fried bean curds )

You want Black Rice Inari, right? ( Inari: rice stuffed in fried bean curd )

You came to eat, didn't you?

If you don't eat this now, you can't call yourself an Edokko. ( Edokko: a person who was born and raised in Edo )

Come on. Get in a line.

But, I...

Uncle, do you want to buy Edamame (soy beans)?

Don't interfere, Kiichi.

Edamame is more delicious, you know.

I'm sorry. I don't have time for that.

How about a boiled egg, then?

My mother sells boiled eggs.

I'm sorry.

Stingy! I hope you die getting kicked by a horse!

Wait.

Oh, it's you from earlier.

Um... you are...

Me? I am from Tosa... (current Kouchi prefecture)

What an ill manner!

You shouldn't have run in front of my horse.

Keep that in mind!

P-Please w-wait here.

What's wrong with him? What a restless man.

Kiichi, come! Come over here.

She has a deep gash on her forehead.

This is terrible.

Kiichi, I'm sorry, but she can't be saved.

No.

Mother, please don't die!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Excuse me. Let me see.

Are you a doctor?

Would I come here if I am not a doctor? [ Saburi Yusuke - Doctor ]

Let's see now.

It's hard to tell the location of the cut.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

A branch of the ST (superficial temporal) is severed.

ST... ?

- What are you saying? - Kid,

if I treat her now, she will survive.

Really?

She is bleeding too much, so she can't be saved

in my experience.

The bleeding...

How did you stop it?

I stopped the bleeding by putting pressure on the cut.

I need to move her so I can treat her.

Can someone help us?

Where are you taking her?

I don't want a bloody mess in front of my store.

This is bad luck.

Step aside. Step aside!

Hey, Doctor. How about we take her to the Guard House there?

Sure. Please carry her.

Alright.

Everyone, did you hear that? We have to move her quickly.

You, too. Hold the other side.

I have a favor to ask.

Oh... sure.

The Shogunal Vassal of the Tachibana Family who lives at Yushima, Jyumokudani

has my surgical instruments.

S-Surgical... ?

Tools to treat her. Can you bring them to me?

We have no time to lose.

You can count on me!

However, I'm not sure where...

Hey, young fellows carrying a carriage.

Hey.

- Do you know the house of Shogunal Vessel Tachibana-san at Yushima, Jyumokudani? - Yes.

Someone, can I borrow your clean kimono?

Why don't you get in?

We have no time to spare.

It's faster if I run.

OHHHHHH!

You are in my way.

Stop peeping already!

Doctor, here!

Thank you. Place them there.

I brewed some tea as you instructed.

Thank you.

What are you going to do with these?

Tea contains catechins which helps sterilize things.

Oh.

For keeping this place as clean as possible, please don't come any closer.

Yes. Yes.

Is my mother going to be alright?

Yes, she's going to be fine.

I'm counting on you, a man from Tosa.

My Lord! Just hop in.

Shut up! Just go.

One, two. One, two. One, two.

Perchance, are you the daughter of the Tachibana family?

Have you come to see my family?

Yes.

Miss, do you know what surgical tools are?

- I do. - His name...

I don't know, but...

that unknown doctor asked for s-surgical...

he asked me to bring him tools.

Did something happen?

There is a lady who was kicked in the head by a horse. We don't have any time to spare.

I understand.

What's going on, Saki?

I'll tell you when I return.

Are you going to see Lord Minakata?

I will not allow it, Saki.

I'll explain everything later, Mother.

Saki!

Emergency Blue Cross

Lidocain (an anesthetic)

Quickly, hand those to me.

I'm coming along.

It's not that I don't trust you.

These tools are very important to Doctor Minakata.

I will join you.

Then will you ride in the carriage, please?

Is something wrong?

I'm sorry, but can you please get off?

It's because of that. We can't move along until they pass.

Isn't there an alternate route?

If we were to turn back, it'll take us twice as long.

Tell them that you're a midwife.

I think they'll let you pass if you say you're a midwife.

Come on! Hurry up and go already!

- Yes! - Bring her sandals.

Who's there?

You there! Who are you?

I'm... a midwife.

Ah, the rain.

It started to rain.

Let's go.

My mother isn't dead, is she? She'll be fine, right?

She'll be fine. She's just unconscious right now.

In my experience, if a patient is in this critical condition--

She's in this state because of a concussion.

Concussions are caused by trauma which temporarily causes unconsciousness.

It'll be fine.

- But.. - Please be quiet!

It's okay. It'll be okay.

Come quickly, a man from Tosa.

Miss, are you alright?

A guard house... (T/N: a police station in modern time)

Where is the guard house in Aioi?

It's that way.

Lord Katsu.

Here you go.

I should have lent her this umbrella. [ Katsu Rintaro - a magistrate of the battleship ]

Where am I?

It's a guard house. Uncle is going to fix you.

I'll treat your wounds once my equipment arrives.

Doctor...

please stop what you are trying to do.

A poor person like me

has no way of paying the medical bill.

But if you're unattended, you'll die.

If that's the case,

I guess that is my given lifeline.

- I won't be charging you. - I'll pay for the medical fees!

I'll work and repay you!

So please, please! My mother...

Please save my mother!

Ki-Kiichi.

I understand.

Then for a payment,

I'll receive soybeans.

I'll deliver them to you.

I'll deliver them to you for the rest of my life.

Dr. Minakata!

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Here is the surgical equipment.

Why are you here, Saki-san?

I'd like to help.

Even if it's a little, I'd like to be your assistant.

That would be helpful.

I'll change into a sterilized kimono.

Yes.

What happened?

Lidocain...

Lidocain?

It's an anesthetic. It masks the pain of surgery. It's in a tiny box this size.

Box?

I'm so sorry! I'll race back and get it.

- How long will it take? - It's raining, so it will take one koku.

I'm sorry, but exactly how long is "one koku?" (It's approximately two hours in current time.)

I can't say for certain. One koku is one koku.

Then how many kokus are there in a day?

Um...

I'm sorry for being irritable.

No, that's fine.

Um...

If there isn't the medication

that numbs me, the operation

cannot be done?

It can be done, but I am tying the blood vessels in your head.

It's an excruciating pain that can make you faint.

I'm fine.

The one thing I'm good at is enduring.

You can die from the pain itself.

I was expected

to die if I was left untreated anyway.

I understand.

Kiichi-kun, you should leave the room.

- It'll be over quickly. - I'll be strong.

I'll be strong with my mother.

I can watch over him.

Fine, then. Let's be strong together.

I'd like for you to do the same.

By using Kocher clamps and silk threads, we will stop the bleeding.

Are you alright?

I am fine.

Saki-san, please hold her shoulders to keep them steady.

Yes.

Tae-san, one down. Just one more to go.

We are almost done.

Are you alright?

Hang in there, Tae-san. Hang in there!

Hang in there, Tae-san.

I'm sorry. My hand slipped.

I'm sorry.

Doctor, there's something wrong with Tae-san.

It's too painful for her.

I need an anesthetic after all.

This is not a surgery but an experiment.

Unexpectedly, the tumor invaded the artery.

We should stop, Minakata!

I am her attending physician.

What's wrong?

Doctor?

Doctor! What about Tae-san?

Chi-chin pui-pui.

Chi-chin pui-pui.

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Kiichi...

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Kiichi...

What is he saying?

A chant to soothe the pain.

An anesthetic by using words.

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Chi-chin pui-pui, pain go away.

Kiichi.

Chi-chin pui-pui, chi-chin pui-pui, chi-chin pui-pui!

Chi-chin pui-pui, chi-chin pui-pui, chi-chin pui-pui.

Chi-chin pui-pui...

Sorry about that.

We are almost done. Hang in there.

Yes.

Chi-chin pui-pui...

Chi-chin pui-pui...

Chi-chin pui-pui.

Miki.

You may not believe this, but...

I am in Edo now. (Edo period: Japan, 1603-1868)

In this place, whenever I perform surgeries,

people think I'm killing patients.

Without sufficient medicines or equipment,

I am forced to perform surgeries.

A simple surgery

is something that can be done without fail.

However, I find it very challenging to operate here.

I had many successful surgeries,

but it wasn't for my skills.

It was because of medicine, skill, equipment

and knowledge that someone discovered along the way.

Without having that help,

I am a useless doctor who doesn't even know to suture less painfully.

With 14 years experience,

I didn't even realize this until now.

I didn't even know

how useless I am.

I thought I've been modest.

For a useless doctor like myself, I'm choosing the only surgery I can perform well.

Now that I think of it, I'm really pathetic.

And you...

wanted to tell me so

for a long time, right?

This could be

my punishment...

from you,

who is unable to speak.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Time Travelers Team @Viki

I was wondering where you disappeared to.

Is there something wrong, Doctor?

This place...

I came here a lot.

You used to live around here, Doctor?

Not exactly here, though.

Not here.

It's not...

beautiful like this place is.

It can't be...

so beautiful like this.

If that's true,

then I may not be going back.

I've come to realize that

the view of the sunset here is the most beautiful in the world.

I've come to realize everything.

So can you please...

let me come back?

Let's go home.

Home?

It'd be troublesome to go home after dark.

Someday, you may gain your memories back,

and you may go back to your own home.

But until then, Tachibana's house

is your home, Doctor.

I don't mind... staying at a stable.

No, that's not a way to treat my brother's savior.

- However, your mother won't be happy. - My mother...

I will persuade her.

Were you talking about me?

Mother,

I think you are wrong.

You are the one who is wrong.

Me?

How am I wrong?

How dare you make our guest wait in such place!

Please come in.

Saki, prepare a bath.

Yes, Older Brother.

Chiba Dojo (martial arts gym) in Oke Town

I was able to move freely at Sanba.

But after that, I was chased by Makoto.

But I am a lone wolf after all.

You always end up being alone. [ Chiba Shigetaro - Master of Chiba Dojo ]

It would be hard for you to act alone anymore.

I know that.

We are planning an assassination.

On whom?

The government officer.

Katsu Rintaro, the magistrate of the battleship.

I see.

I wonder how Miki is doing?

She is holding up a different hand.

I heard of a doctor who performed a miracle as a magician, Nokaze.

Do you mean a magician who performed like a doctor?

Master.

[ Nokaze - Courtesan ]

Courtesan Nokaze, it's time for you to attend to guests.

Right.

Just now, I've realized

an important possibility.

I saved people who were meant to die.

What I am doing is...

Here, Doctor.

Thanks.

changing history,

which is a God-forbiddin act.

I need to go back quickly.

Oh? There aren't many people today.

There he goes running again.

If so, I must...

I must go back quickly.

So you are saying

that people not coming outside...

I guess it's true

that choleri is spreading again.

Choleri?

However,

at this moment, I was already...

The doctor...

He treated the patient in a way I've never seen before.

He tied a blood vessel with a thread...

What a liar.

By using something like "Heru" and

- mysterious instruments called surgical tools. - Oh, Dr. Ogata.

You are here today.

Lord Saburi,

is it true what you said just now? [ Ogata Koan - Chief of Western Medical Science School ]

Geez, it's you again?

Could it be...

that you fell in love with me?

You... who are you?

Me?

I am Sakamoto Ryoma of Tosa.

At this moment, I was already...

It's hot today, isn't it?

dragged right into the middle of

the turmoil of history.

Sakamoto Ryoma?

~Preview~

Are you that Sakamoto Ryoma-san?

If Ryoma wasn't assassinated and time-traveled to the 21st century...

It's choleri. Choleri is spreading.

Please teach me how to cure choleri patients.

I don't know what choleri is.

What kind of a doctor refuses to save a patient's life?

Cholera is spreading.

Cholera causes diarrhea, vomiting,

and even death for some people.

- Doctor, it's Kiichi. - Kiichi, hang in there.

We are going to fight the choleri.

I can't trust you.

Please lend me your hand.
