Original subtitles

It's cholori (cholera)!

Outbreak of choleri once again.

What kind of principle is it to abandon an innocent child to die?

Kiichi, God only gives you challenges which you can overcome.

I have no idea how a doctor can cure choleri patients when one refuse to touch patients.

Dr. Minakata, please look after Yamada.

Okay.

[ Second Year of Bunkyu Era (1862), Autumn ]

I see...

So the important things are to quarantine infected patients and to be thorough with disinfectants.

Anyways, the most important is not to spread the bacteria any further.

For 1.8 liters of boiled water, add 7.5ｇ of salt and 37g of sugar

to make a liquid called ORS and feed patients. (Oral Rehydration Solution)

But, among the cholori patients...

there are those who vomit right after drinking medicine.

There is also a procedure giving medicine directly into the stomach by using narrow tube, but...

For example, what kind of tube?

- I wonder if they have it... - Huh?

Uhm... Do you have a rubber tube?

I do.

- You have a rubber tube? - Yes!

They have it in this era, huh...

There is a supply at the Medical Institute which we brought from Nagasaki.

Wa-Wait a minute, please.

I have! I have everything!

Can you make a needle similar to this one but in silver? The middle should be hollow.

If there is a skilled hairpin craftsman, it could be possible.

- Possible? - Yes!

Um, what kind of procedure is it to administrate medicine directly into the stomach by using a rubber tube?

I will explain it later.

- Dr. Ogata. - Yes?

I have something to discuss with you.

Would you make a tool for an IV drip?

What is an IV drip?

I'm sorry.

Bring the light, please.

What is that? How could you write without a charcoal?

Keep quiet.

An IV prodedure is where you insert a hollow needle into a patient's vein and

rehydrate patients due to the fluid loss.

Insert a needle directly into a blood vessel...

By doing so, even patients with severe nausea can increase the water intake.

But, to make that happen, we need an exclusive tool.

Would you give it a try?

So with this tool, the cholerai patients can be saved?

The survival rate should be significantly increased.

Let's do it.

Thank you very much!

- Excuse me, Mister. - What is it?

Who are you?

The hole is full.

Sir Yamada, you can't move around.

Saki-san, what are you doing?

I figured I can take care of the patient while you are explaining the procedure.

I will go home!

If you walk outside, you will spread the cholera bacteria in town.

Bring me quinine. I-I can treat myself. (medication to treat malaria and babesiosis)

I know how you feel.

Dr. Ogata asked me to treat you.

Would you please believe Dr. Ogata's decision and accept the treatment?

Give me water!

Thank you so much!

I will keep drinking until I die.

I'll prove the medicine doesn't work with my death.

Saki-san, please go home. You should think about your mother's feelings--

My mother said that she would disown me.

Even if I want to,

I have no place to go back.

Also this is...

my war.

Please wrap your hair and mouth with towels.

Also, tie up your sleeves so you can move freely.

Yes.

- Shochu! I brought the shochu! - These are the all we have?

- Call the liquor store! - Okay!

We only have two?

To 1.8 liters of water, add 7.5g of salt and 37g of sugar. Don't make mistakes, okay?

I am not sure if I can use it precisely as this.

I'm counting on you, sir.

Dr. Ogata, please raise your head.

I'll do what I can.

Thank you for your help. [ Ito Genboku - Director of Western Medical Institute ]

Dr. Minakata, it's Kiichi-chan.

His pulse is fast. This is bad.

What are you doing?

We will inject the medicine directly into his body with this syringe.

- Doctor? - Aahh...

Please use the water over there.

Is there any difference between this and that?

This is for drinking. Over there is for the drips, and it's called a saline solution.

Does it hurt, Kiichi?

I can endure it.

I'm sorry, but this is all I can do for you.

Doctor!

Doctor, I came to pick up the feces.

Ryoma-san, didn't you go home?

The holes that were used to bury the feces were full, so with everyone's help,

we found abandoned land and dug more holes.

Do you promise to take me to the red-light district?

Yeah!! I will treat whoever digs faster than me.

They weren't really motivated to dig, so I made it into a competition.

Then holes were dug perfectly in no time.

So... this is the famous Ryoma, huh?

But is the choleri bacteria so resistant that you have to bury it?

Yes, it's very resistant.

Doctor, don't you feel scared?

When I heard that it can transmit, it made me nervous.

However, I tried to stay cool.

We are trying not to get infected. Also…

Huh?

What is it, Doctor?

I am a doctor.

So you don't mind if you die here?

You're so cool!

I still can't see it.

Feels like I'm walking in the dark groping.

I haven't found a path

that I don't mind risking my life for.

I think I was the one trying to act cool.

The truth is, I don't care if i die here.

I am a person who doesn't belong here.

I almost blurted it out so.

After I've encountered the countless patients who fought for their lives right front of my eyes,

I am still being arrogant.

However, there is a voice somewhere inside me...

You'll find it, Ryoma-san,

telling me, "If I die, I can go back, perhaps."

Is that your prediction?

Go back to that world.

I think I can go back to your side.

JIN - Episode 3

We managed to craft the needle shaft hollow,

but it's difficult to replicate it thin as you instructed.

We are still exercising our ingenuity for an improvement.

Great. This is good enough to use.

Thank you so much.

Could you teach us how to use that?

Just like this, tie a rubber tube aligned with the heart.

Ask patients to make a fist with the thumb inside.

There is a vein here.

Vein?

The major blood vessels are arteries and veins.

An artery has a pause, but a vein doesn't.

Injection site must be sterilized with shuchu (with high alcohol).

Hold the needle parallel to a blood vessel as much as possible.

Puncture the needle slowly to the vein.

After seeing the blood flow from needle, connect the rubber tube.

Then stabilize it firmly.

Then the saline solution in here

flows down the tube and injects into the blood vessel.

You will be fine, Kiichi.

- This morning, Ryogoku Bridge has been cleansed. - What?

I heard... every time 100 coffins cross over the bridge,

the bridge must be washed and purified.

Well, we have no time to waste.

So you are saying to introduce his method

as an official cure in the medical book and implement it everywhere?

As far as I see, Sir Yamada is recovering nicely.

His method of treatment is effective.

However, to implement the method from a stranger, [ Matsumoto Ryojun - Assistant Director of Western Medical Institute ]

and introduce as a cure in the medical book...

- Well... - But the fact is, we don't have any other cure for the disease.

If Dr. Ogata trusts this method sincerely...

But...

I beg of you.

(Edo Castle) I understand where you coming from, but the government asset is limited.

Cholori was brought from abroad.

Now, Edo that suffers from that disease is drawing attention in this country.

If you stamp out the choleri successfully,

you'll gain a high reputation among the Imperial Court.

Members of the upper house may lean towards us

and become your allies for sure, My Lord.

The IV drip is working well.

But the drip makes me feel frustrated.

We can't make it flow faster?

If you do that, the body will be in shock.

If it's emergency, we can increase the amount of fluid.

Do you mean to make the fluid drip faster?

No. The drip would be injected to a different blood vessel.

There is a large vein in the upper thigh called femoral vein.

So the vein locates at inner thigh next to an artery.

So the large vein is located at

inside of upper thigh next to an artery?

Oops, I'm sorry. I was inconsiderate.

Not at all.

Um... can you teach me again?

Of course.

There is a large artery in upper thigh.

And inside the artery, there is a vein...

It's great. I did it.

I can pee now. I should be fine, right?

But, you have not fully recovered until the cholori (cholera)

is completely out of your body.

Mother!

I am cured now!

Thanks to your liquid you made, I am cured.

How many days do I have to wait to see her?

About four days.

I can see you in four days!

Mother!

Can you hear me?

The boy and I...

weren't cured by taking medicine.

We were cured, because we were meant to be.

You are right.

Dr. Yamada and Kiichi were able to overcome cholera, because you two have strong will to survive.

Well... I guess we recovered faster than I expected.

Saki! Dr. Minakata!

Older Brother.

Because of Lord Katsu's effort,

the government decided to support the cholera treatment.

The Medical Institute agreed to follow your method.

The government and the institute started to discuss the matter.

Then, can we craft more needles and instruments?

Of course. They will summon all the craftsmen,

limestone powder, and shochu with high alcohol.

They will supply water to make more medicines.

Low-ranking retainers and shogunate vessels received ordered as well.

Even I can participate as a supervisor.

How...

How can that be?

Thank you very much, Kyotaro-san.

That is the best news ever.

Thank you very much.

Finally, I can grasp a tale of cholori (situation).

Doctor is... infected by cholera?

Doctor!!

Come on. Get a hold of yourself.

Someone! Bring a doctor from the Medical Institute.

- Yes. - I am fine.

I'm sure the Medical Insititute is busy treating other cholera patients.

I can endure it.

But...

Kyotaro-san.

How to carry and isolate patients, discard feces and vomiting,

along with prevention of exposure and guidance, many people still need to be instructed.

- Ryoma-san. - Oohh...

People here know what to do against cholera.

Please go around the teach people who don't know.

Oh, get hold of yourself.

Go quickly!

Please go and do what you have to do...

for our country and for our path.

Hurry!!

Alright!!

Saki-san.

Yes?

Can you look after this clinic?

Yes.

My Lady, we're in trouble!!

According to the fluid each patient discharged,

I fed them same amount of ORS.

Can you give me as well?

Somehow...

our positions have swapped.

Indeed.

Saki!!

Brother!

Hold that side, and you take the other side.

Thank you very much.

You should get some rest.

Doctor asked me to look after this clinic.

Your patients would feel guilty since you look exhausted.

I want to help Doctor.

I, Saki...

want to help him.

You are not getting what I am saying.

No one is asking you to quit.

I'm just telling you to go home and take a rest.

You have no home to return to.

There is no such home for you to return to during wartime.

What war can you win with such a lack of commitment?

You must win!

Win first, then return home...

with the three of us together.

Mother.

I made you these clothes so you can move freely to treat patients.

Mother...

She made these.

Open your mouth wide.

Dr. Minakata!

The volume and frequency of his vomiting increased.

Doctor, how much and

how do I administer the IV drip?

Add 10-20% to a volume of feces.

Adjust the speed so 2 litres of IV would finish in 30 minutes.

A little over 1 sho (1.8 liters).

Doctor, are you alright?

So this is how patients feel to be infected by cholera.

I will add more IV right away, so please hang in there, Doctor!

Let's go back.

Doctor?

Let's go back... to the other world.

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

Doctor, what's wrong?

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor!!

Did you hear something just now?

No.

Tae-san!

Where are you going in such a hurry?

Dr. Minakata is in danger.

He's lost consciousness.

Hey, I'm coming, too.

Ryoma-san...

please go and fulfill your obligation.

For the sake of our country and path.

The limestone powder.

By using this limestone powder, I can exterminate cholera vibrio.

He was suppose to kill the virus but not to be killed by it, Idiot.

That's not something we need to see.

Yeah!

It's starting to get dark.

Let's start the bonfire!

Salt is over here.

You will be fine now.

We are arriving at The Medical Institute soon.

Please hang in there a bit longer.

We will accept the patient here.

Well, our next stop is Suda-town, Kanda.

Carry the patients to the benches. Any remaining patients can go there.

Put him down. Are you all right?

Hang in there!

The patient is over here.

Attach a nozzle on the tip of the rubber tube.

Insert it into the patient's nose,

and then feed every patient fluid 50cm length worth.

Yes.

Dr. Ogata! Dr. Ogata!

It's Dr. Minakata!

What happened to him?

What is this?

Is this the hospital I used to work at?

But something seems to be a bit odd.

That's right! Where's Miki?

How's Miki doing?

This isn't good.

He is in a critical condition.

This man might have come here for the purpose of saving the city of Edo from choleri.

Did you administer this drip, Miss Saki?

Yes, I thought if I administered large volumes of IV, it might be effective.

By inserting IV to a different blood vessel.

There is a large artery called femoral vein located in the upper thigh.

A large artery located in the upper thigh?

What are you doing?

I am looking for the large artery located in the upper thigh.

If you inject the IV there, his fluid intake would increase significantly.

A large vein?

It's right beside an artery.

I think I know where, so let me do it.

No, this is my duty.

The injection site

The injection site...

should be sterilized with shochu (high alcohol).

Hold the needle parallel to the blood vessel as much as possible.

Hold the needle parallel to the blood vessel as much as possible, and

slowly inject it into the vein.

Once you confirm the blood flow, connect the rubber tube.

Now, you can be cured, right?

Dr. Yamada and Kiichi-san have both recovered.

Doctor! Please tell me that you'll recover!

Miki!

Miki!

What are you doing at a place like this?

Oh, you're there.

What?

It's okay, Dr. Jin.

I'm sure we'll meet again some day, so it's okay.

Hey, Miki!

Doctor, please come back!

I'm sure you'll be back, right, Doctor?

There are many patients here who need you.

Your determination has moved the hearts of the Edo people.

If you die

without seeing this for yourself, what's the use?

Please come back, Doctor!

Doctor!

The rain...

Welcome back... Doctor!

Yes.

Is that right? He's come back?

It's almost daylight.

It's daylight!

This is how I came back. As a result, I recovered.

If you eat this, you can defeat choleri.

Please line up here to buy black rice Inari. (Inari: rice stuffed fried bean curd)

Soon after that, the choleri which I thought would swallow the entire city of Edo,

had died down very quickly.

Quarantining patients and preventative measures had seemed to stop it from spreading.

Would you like to buy one?

However, with the lack of man power required for the IV treatments,

as a result, we weren't able to save many lives. That was the unfortunate truth.

Kiichi!

I am going to the Doctor's house.

Um, may I ask you something?

Why did you decide to believe in me back then?

Dr. Minakata, please take care of Yamada.

A while ago, I tried to establish vaccinations among the people.

After I injected a person with small dose of smallpox virus, one would become slightly ill.

In the beginning, no one believed me

that that was a preventive purpose.

You reminded me

of myself back then.

- Doctor, I have one more favor to ask you. - Yes?

Would you like me to cure something again?

Please straighten up the spirits of crooked Western medical doctors in Edo.

You should accept the request from yesterday.

I can't decide so quickly

to lecture at the Western Medical Institute.

Doctor!

Last night, Tae-san was

randomly attacked by samurais.

Please move aside. Excuse me!

Kiichi!

She's gone, Doctor.

All humans die at some point.

But...

I am thankful for you,

but I wish you hadn't saved me.

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

I will be waiting over there.

Saki-san,

I am

someone who has came from the future.

Future?

You probably won't believe me,

but I had thought

that if I were to do anything,

I would end up changing the course of history.

So that's why

I could not tell you the method for treating choleri.

I was afraid to change the future.

Because a result of my action

may end up changing the future of people who are around me.

Perhaps,

I may take away a life of people

who were supposed to live happily.

My action is blaspheming against God.

However,

I might have sorely misunderstood

that I could change the future.

Those people who I saved from choleri

may have survived on their own without my help.

Maybe

if I hadn't come here,

these people might not have been infected by choleri.

Tae-san who was kicked by a horse and was fated to die,

was killed by a samurai instead.

History may

delete everything that I have done.

Delete every trace so that nothing will change.

If that were the case,

if that were the case...

I...

what am I doing?

Doctor,

you are the person who changed my fate.

After meeting you

and experiencing your medical expertise,

I, Saki, seem to

think that everything around me is much brighter than it was before.

I can clearly hear

the sound of my heart beating.

I am

alive.

I will be waiting over there.

Miki.

I've decided...

that history is more prodigious than any of us can imagine.

If so,

I will move forward without any hesitation.

After all, a human can only live a life to the fullest.

For as long as possible,

I will continue to save lives with my own hands.

And if I were to be able to advance the time in the medical field by even a minute,

I may be able

to change your fate.

The possibility is close to zero,

but that doesn't mean zero (possibility).

The subtle flutter of a butterfly

can eventually

turn into a storm.

Excuse me.

Do you have a string to tie my hair up?

To defeat foreigners, you must make them sleep first.

Sneak in while they are asleep, and slash their throats.

We must plan for a sneak attack.

If you carry a sword like that,

they won't even let you get in a car.

My Lord, your story is worth

giving up my blood

and flesh.

Your consideration toward our country

has full paths (hopes).

Please take me as your pupil.

I don't mind, but

doesn't this mean you will betray your allies?

Until now,

if I want to change this world,

I thought I must belong to a group.

But somehow, it didn't feel right to me,

so I couldn't get along with a group.

But now,

I simply want to walk a path that I believe.

Even the path that no one has ever walked before.

If the path is right for me,

I'm sure more people will follow me.

There was a man

who taught me so.

♫ I want to feel everything you had your eyes on ♫

[ Minakata Jin ] ♫ I looked up at the sky ♫

I will try living my life to the fullest.

Someday...

until the day we meet again...

♫ Tell me… ♫

in the city of Edo.

♫ I’m missing you now ♫

The patterns

are as beautiful as a butterfly.

Perhaps,

it must be a auspicious omen.

♫ I sadly long ♫

♫ For your presence ♫

♫ Where are you? Hold me ♫

~Preview~

Miki, I've met a woman in the red-light district

who resembled you.

A lady of noble family should wait here.

I am a doctor's assistant.

This man is the only person who can save him.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do.

If you do nothing,

this person will die for sure.

Please save him.

He is in a critical condition. If I don't treat him,

his life will be at risk.

The hematoma should be there.

There is no blood build-up.

I can't... come back. Come back to me.
