We hope you enjoyed your trip.

We are now arriving at Shikinajima Port.

Don't forget your belongings.

Is that a fishing boat? What?

Hello?

Nami? It's Hoshino.

You're coming on today's ferry?

Yes.

I'm at the port now, but there was a fishing boat accident.

So...

I have to transport people to the clinic.

Ayaka says come to the clinic as soon as you can.

OK! I'm on my way.

And...

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hello?

Ow!

Ow...

Watch it!

You kicked me first!

You stuck your foot out!

That's Hara's boat!

Hi, Naho! Long time no see!

Baby, don't cry!

Take this for the kids.

The juice got crushed. Sorry!

Welcome home, Nami. Thanks!

Hello?

Hello? Oh, and...

bring the trainee doctor with you. He was on the ferry, his name is...

Got it!

Excuse me! Is there a...

Dr. Hanto Oda from Kenryukan University Hospital?

Dr. Hanto Oda, trainee at Shikinajima Clinic?

Dr. Hanto Oda!

Stop yelling my name. This isn't a pep rally.

Dr. Oda...?

Yes, I'm Hanto.

Let's go! Hey, wait...

Hurry! What a welcome.

Nice and slow. Hold on, now.

I'm turning you over.

Let's take a look.

Where's Dr. Coto?

He's gone to Hamagaoka. I called him. He's on his way.

It's my fault! We caught a big tuna but I lost control. He tried to help.

What? It was a 200-pound tuna.

It fought hard and gouged his leg.

He'll need a transfusion, Mr. Wada.

He's blood type B.

Any other injuries?

His arm!

Hold on. The doctor's coming.

Did you get a hold of Nami?

Yeah.

Why didn't you just bring her with you?

I had to rush over here. Don't get mad, it's bad for the baby.

Sorry everyone, we may have to operate.

Ayaka!

Nami! Thank goodness. Help me prep for surgery.

Right! Excuse me.

The tuna's upper jaw gouged his thigh. He lost a lot of blood.

Probably ruptured a vein.

Reconstructive? Probably.

Reconstructive surgery? Here?

Dr. Oda, the trainee?

You're going to do that here?

We don't have time to transport him. Get him to the OR!

Sorry I'm late!

Doctor! Doctor.

Let's take a look.

You'll be fine, Mr. Hara. Carry him to the OR.

Ready?

Make way!

Dr. Oda? Please wait in the office.

Wait! Let me help! Excuse me.

We're going to reconstruct his femoral artery.

Yes, Doctor.

Ready, Dr. Oda?

Call me Hanto. Hanto?

Yes, please.

Scalpel.

Nami, start the transfusion.

Is amputation an option?

Mr. Hara is a fisherman. He needs his leg.

Blood type?

B confirmed.

Electric scalpel.

Gauze.

Hey, you idiots!

Why wasn't I told Hara was hurt?

Calm down, Shige.

How is he?

He's in surgery, lost a lot of blood.

I'm sorry.

Get a grip, you idiot.

Where the hell is the "Head of the Fishery Association" anyway?

What?

Oh, sorry. I didn't even see you there.

What? You didn't see any hair? Look who's talking!

I'm saying you're too green to be "Head of Fishery."

I thought you retired! What are you doing here?

Stop it!

That's right! This is no time for "battle of the baldies"!

Sorry.

Do we have a Fogarty catheter?

Size 4.

Saline solution.

Is this OK?

What's going on?

Hara got hurt.

He's in surgery.

Really?

Nylon sutures, please.

Mr. Wada.

Gauze. Thanks.

Scissors.

7-0.

Scissors.

Excuse me.

Flush him with 1CC of noradrenalin. Dr. Hanto, can you tape up the vein?

Yes. I'll prep the transfusion.

Thanks. Sure.

Dr. Hanto, you're a big help. Thank you.

Is there a longer hook?

Bulldog clamp.

Flushing with 2000 CCs.

Nami.

Scissors.

What are you doing? Shut up.

It's taking too long. Is he dead?

Come on, Shige.

What? I'm worried about him, all right?

Doctor!

The surgery was successful.

Doctor.

He's fine. We saved his leg.

Thank you, Doctor. Thank you!

I'm going to open the clinic now, so let me go change.

Thank you for waiting. Kazuo, you're first.

Mayor! You're here! Please go first.

He's the mayor after all.

The mayor? I'm Hanto Oda from Kenryukan University Hospital.

I retired long ago.

20 years ago, in fact. Oh, I see.

My name is Oda.

Does that hurt?

I think you slept on it funny.

Let me see your hand.

I'm going on my rounds. I'll leave Mr. Hara to you, Ayaka.

Nami, you're done for today. Take care of Dr. Hanto.

Be careful.

Thanks.

Doctor! The battery!

Sorry. Don't forget.

OK. Thank you. Switch on!

See you! Bye!

He's going on rounds now?

It's his daily routine.

I'll head back to the office.

You don't work here?

Mr. Wada works for the city office.

Really?

I used to be the manager here, but they moved me to the Environmental Division.

The higher-ups just move people around without thinking.

How about a photo?

Move in closer.

Smile!

Inhale.

Hold it.

Hello.

I'm Sakano.

Nice to meet you. Same.

Please call me Hanto.

Dr. Coto!

Hello.

Have some cold watermelon.

How are you?

Are you calling again?

I waited a while!

We just talked this morning. I have to get dinner ready.

See you later, Dad. Bye, Grandpa Shige.

No one likes a pushy guy.

It's a little high. Let's try it again.

Here you go.

Enjoy!

Hello.

We're doing well.

Doctor, I made this myself.

How cute.

Let me check your leg.

This will make you feel better.

You can go right to sleep.

Grandpa drew this. Hope you can use it.

How cute.

Thank you.

Here's the key.

Aren't you coming in? No, thanks.

Bye. How about some tea?

What's up, Doctor?

Brought your medicine.

Did you remember to take your meds?

Yes, I did.

Good.

You have to take them. You too, Midori.

Still sleeping?

He's out cold.

Shosuke? Shota?

Shoko? Sheep? No, that's not a name.

Tell me already, Ayaka. Is it a boy or girl?

That again? I told you, I can't tell from the ultrasound.

What's with the Sh-names?

Dear.

If not Sho, then what about Ichi? No Ichi's either.

Morning!

Morning, Doctor.

Rolled egg, my favorite!

You say that every day.

Here you go. Thanks.

Did you bruise yourself again?

I guess I did. Be careful.

I'm digging in!

Go ahead.

Morning.

Good morning.

No change since last night.

How are you feeling, Mr. Hara?

Much better.

Temperature?

Normal. His blood pressure is stable, too.

How's the drain? Clear.

Thanks. Good job.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm glad you're recovering.

Doctor, have you told Takehiro...

Not yet.

I'd rather you didn't tell him.

I don't want him to worry.

But...

I can't keep him in the dark.

It was a bad injury.

I know...

I guess I'll call.

Hello? It's Mariko.

Taketoshi injured his leg.

Dr. Coto had to operate.

This is delicious!

Right? Just a dash of this totally changes the flavor!

You're right.

Buy me some more when you go to the mainland.

But Dr. Coto said you should cut down on your sodium.

And let him know right away if your chest hurts.

OK, OK.

You forgot your meds again!

Did I? Don't forget.

Even if you feel fine.

Yes, yes.

I can't die before I deliver Ayaka's kid.

You always say that. What about mine?

You have a boyfriend? Hypothetically speaking.

I want you to live a long life.

Then bring home a boyfriend already. I told you, I don't have one!

You said you did. I did not. I was just saying.

I can't wait forever. Now, eat up.

I'm home.

You're back.

Where's Dr. Coto?

Sleeping over at the clinic.

Oh. Owww!

What?

Baby names, again?

I have some in mind too, you know.

Like what?

We'll have to take a vote.

Dear.

I'm waiting...

Oops.

Doctor.

Sorry. Did I wake you?

Will I...

be able to fish again?

I can't say for sure yet.

But I believe rehab will help.

Mr. Hara?

The important thing is the desire to go back to work.

We'll all do our best.

Don't give up. Let's work together.

OK.

Dr. Coto and Ayaka are there already.

Thanks. Take care.

Mariko, can you give this to the doctor?

Sure. Thank you. Take care.

Is Mariko Mr. Hara's girlfriend?

No.

You don't like interacting with the islanders, do you?

Can you tell?

You're pretty blunt, but it also shows on face.

Really?

You didn't even see him off.

Why should I? His son's here.

Kunio isn't his son. His son is Takehiro.

Takehiro?

Takehiro is training at a university hospital in Tokyo.

A doctor?

He's the island's superstar. Went to Meirin University.

He'll probably work here in the future.

Hello? Ryu?

Hey. How are you?

Fine.

Did you like what I sent you?

Yeah. Thanks.

That's good.

How are you? Eating well?

I'm fine. I have someone to cook for me.

Oh, really?

Hey.

I have a favor to ask.

What is it?

Have you seen Takehiro lately?

Takehiro?

Can you check up on him?

Sure. But why?

Can you please?

Fine.

I know you're busy, so...

Hey, Mom.

Why don't you come to Tokyo?

I told you. I have a restaurant to run.

But I want to introduce you to the person who's cooking for me.

I see.

Let me think about it.

OK, bye.

Bye.

Consolidation?

Yes. It's not just Shikinajima.

The aging population is an issue for the other islands too.

With a decrease in residents, some clinics aren't even functioning.

Why not consolidate them

and care for the patients at a central mainland hospital?

We'd like you to be the advisor at such a facility.

Me?

But that would mean you'd have to leave the island.

Hello!

Anyone here?

Coming!

A shot? It'll help.

Where's Dr. Coto? Just a little pinch.

Ow, ow, ow!

The needle hasn't gone in yet.

Nice bracelet.

I made it.

OK, all done.

You're good to go.

Have enough meds?

I'm good.

See you. Take care.

Next. Mr. Ikuo Yamashita.

Dr. Coto's not here.

He's not?

I'm here, though. I'll come back.

Mr. Yamashita?

Mr. Yamashita! Let's go home.

Let's go.

Take care.

Dr. Coto is out. So are Ayaka and Nami.

Holding down the fort? Mr. Wada.

Brought you lunch. Thanks.

How's it going?

Everyone prefers to see Dr. Coto. They've all gone home.

It was the same way when he first came.

Really?

Now, he's like family.

Poor guy. They must call him night and day.

He doesn't mind. That's why they depend on him.

Hello!

Why are you all here? What about school?

It's a half-day today!

Let me introduce my kids, Doctor.

Hello! Hello!

All yours?

I'm contributing to the fight against depopulation on this island.

Yeah!

Hello?

Are the kids there?

They just came.

Good. I have a parent meeting. Can you feed them?

No problem. Kids, it's your mom!

Mom!

Can you see me?

Can you? We're here.

Listen to your dad.

Yes, Mom!

Take care, then. OK, thanks.

Any requests for dinner, Kazu?

Fish, please!

Too bad, it's curry night.

Sorry! Work hard.

Bye!

Kazu?

Yes, Kazu.

Very good. You'll have a healthy baby.

All done.

Here. For an easy childbirth.

Thanks.

You climbed the temple stairs?

Dr. Coto told me I need to exercise some.

This amulet should be given on the 7th day of the 7th month of pregnancy.

Don't overdo it.

OK, Midori, you're next. I'll take your blood pressure.

Granny, you forgot to take your meds again.

I wonder who the baby will look like? Ayaka or Dr. Coto?

Your blood pressure. I can't wait to see.

Me, too. I wonder who the baby will be like.

Oh?

I'm talking about your baby!

I can't imagine Dr. Coto as a dad.

I don't know if he's happy or not. He doesn't say anything.

Really?

He doesn't want to stress me out.

At this point, I don't care either way. As long as the baby's healthy.

Take all the maternity leave you need. I'm here now.

You're right. OK, I will.

I guess I can leave it to you.

You can?

You're good enough to work at any mainland hospital.

Oh, stop it.

Did you know Dr. Hanto is the heir to a big hospital in Tokyo?

He is?

He said so himself. Bragged about it.

He asked me if I wanted to come work for him.

I'll drive.

Thanks.

Does that mean

we're going to lose Shikinajima Clinic?

No. I wouldn't let that happen.

20 years ago, Mr. Hoshino brought you to this island.

Without you, my daughter would never have been born.

Same for Yukari. I can't thank you enough.

The islanders would be up in arms.

We'd like you to teach doctors what you've done on this island

over the past 20 years, providing care in a remote location.

We think it will go far in advancing medical care on islands like these.

But even if you agree to accept the advisory position,

we'd need a replacement here.

We can't go back to having no doctors on the island.

Last month, Dr. Iwama performed surgery for acute appendicitis

but the 50-year-old male patient died of a massive hemorrhage...

I'll drive Fumiko home.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

Thank you, Dr. Hanto.

I have nothing to do anyways.

Your charts are like diaries, Dr. Coto.

Really?

Old man Nobu.

Stage IV pancreatic cancer...

He can barely get out of bed, but he's in good spirits.

On good days, he enjoys illustrating postcards in his backyard.

He stopped treatment?

It's just palliative now. He wants to be at home.

Want to meet him?

Sure.

I'd better go.

Good bye.

Dr. Hanto.

I need your help. With what?

A bone marrow aspiration.

An aspiration?

For which patient?

Anesthetizing now.

OK.

Please keep this between you and me.

OK. Thank you.

Needle's going in.

Seriously...?

This is bad.

Another bruise?

You're right. Be careful.

The doctor's late.

Maybe an emergency?

I'll give him a call.

Ayaka, wait.

What?

Sakano confided in me. Has Dr. Coto said anything to you?

It's been a while, Dr. Coto.

It certainly has.

There's a patient who wants to stop post-op hormonal treatments.

I explained the risks.

But she and her husband desperately want a child.

Not as bad as Hoshino did, though.

I see.

8 months?

Yes, not long now.

I'll pray for a safe delivery, then.

Thank you.

What did you want to talk about?

There's a specimen I'd like you to look at.

A patient. It may be acute leukemia.

Hey, Takehiro!

Whoa!

Takehiro?

I thought it was you!

What are you doing here?

It's Takehiro! He's back!

You must be here to see your dad, but it's too late. He's out already.

Hey, Take.

Big city boy.

The doctor came too late!

Excuse me. Takehiro!

Kuni.

How've you been?

Is that all you got to say?

It's been so long.

Don't be nervous. I'm not!

Hey, Kunio. There's a banjo in the entrance. Take it out, will you?

Dad.

What happened?

Mariko called me.

Hello!

How are you, Mr. Hara?

We're coming in.

Takehiro! Takehiro.

It's been a while, Dr. Coto, Ayaka.

Welcome home.

The surgery was successful. He's recovering well, but...

He may not walk normally again?

I can't say for sure.

Does my dad know?

I think he does.

But I don't want him to lose hope.

I'm back. Hi.

I saw Ms. Chieko. How was she?

Arthritis of the hip. I gave her a compress and some painkillers.

She wants you to see her, though. I guess I'm not good enough.

This is Dr. Hanto Oda from Kenryukan University Hospital.

How do you do.

This is Takehiro, Mr. Hara's son.

Dr. Hanto assisted me in your dad's surgery.

Thank you. I didn't do much.

So you're a doctor too.

No, not yet.

I just finished my residency, but my dad thinks I need more training.

He said a clinic like this one is the perfect place to toughen me up.

Hello. You're back.

Hi.

It's been a while.

Uh...

That's Nami, Midori's granddaughter. Remember her?

No...

You don't?

Coto speaking. Sorry, I'm a bit tied up right now.

I'll call you back. Sorry.

How do you know each other?

I'm not telling you. Why not?

Are you... No!

But it's been 10 years. I wouldn't remember, either.

The banner?

Mr. Wada's kids updated it. It's the 4th one.

I see.

You're pregnant, Ayaka?

Yeah. I sent you our wedding invitation, remember?

Sorry.

Don't worry about your dad. I'll make sure he does his rehab.

Thanks.

How long will you stay?

Not that long...

I see.

Drop by our house too. Mom will be glad to see you.

Takehiro.

Go back to Tokyo.

I'll be fine.

It's definitive.

Acute leukemia.

I see.

It's you, isn't it, Dr. Coto?

You can be hospitalized here. The sooner the better.

Leukemia is no longer incurable. But still...

If you don't start treatment right away, in a matter of weeks or months...

Who knows what may happen. It could be as soon as tomorrow.

You should also register for a bone marrow transplant.

Dr. Coto.

Are you listening?

And now, the regional weather report.

Typhoon 6 originated yesterday off the southern coast of Japan

and is currently picking up speed in southwest Shikinajima...

Takehiro, come with me.

Hara! I'll bring him right back.

Hey, Takehiro.

Are you hiding something from us?

Come with me.

Welcome home!

Takehiro!

Why...?

You finally came home. What did you expect?

That's right!

You're the pride of this island.

We'll have another toast when Coto gets here.

It's the fancy doctor!

Welcome.

What is this?

Takehiro's welcome home party.

Our hero, Takehiro.

I just came to eat lunch.

This will have to do.

Go on. Thanks!

Excuse me.

Island folks are amazing. All this, just for going to medical school?

I barely made it through college. Now I'm banished to this island.

Hey, resident. What are you talking about?

This island is on the leading edge, you idiot.

That's right.

Decreasing birth rate, aging population. It's the picture of the future of Japan.

We even have "Wi-wi."

You mean "Wi-Fi."

Well, cheers. Cheers again, Shige?

Shut up.

Hey, resident. Drink up.

I'm not a resident, actually. Shut up and drink.

I can't drink while I'm here!

What are you talking about? Who cares?

Takehiro is the future of Shikinajima.

A valuable asset.

He became a doctor to succeed Coto and take care of my prostate.

Unlike this temporary stand-in here.

Are you drunk, Shige?

I sure am!

Hey, Takehiro.

Kuni.

What are you doing over here? Go join in.

Shige must be so happy you're back. He's really drunk.

You're right.

When are you coming back?

Yeah!

Hurry and come back to the clinic.

I'll be waiting, too!

A new couple?

Not happening! I thought you were coming to our hospital.

I never said that!

Not happening!

Nami's gonna replace Mari...

What did you say, Shige?

Sorry I'm late.

Shoichi, you're late.

Where's Coto and Ayaka?

He got a call. Old Nobu's not doing so good.

But it's Takehiro's welcome home party... Hey, where is he?

He was just here.

Takehiro!

Here you go. Thanks.

Looks good.

Motoki!

Sorry. What were you doing?

Come in!

Hello, Ryu?

Hello, Mom? It's about Takehiro.

He's nowhere to be found.

Actually he came back.

Some detectives are here from Tokyo.

Takehiro is on the island?

I should have called you.

What's going on?

What is it?

They're looking for Takehiro.

Takehiro...?

So Old Nobu is OK?

Yeah.

I'm looking forward to seeing his autumn flowers.

We'll be late to the party, but I'm sure they'll still be there.

Can I talk to you for a minute, Ayaka?

What? Something urgent?

You've been acting weird lately.

Is it about leaving the island?

Mr. Sakano talked to my dad because he hasn't heard from you.

Or is it your health?

Are you sick?

I can tell. We live together, after all.

Takehiro.

Excuse us.

Hello.

Taketoshi.

What is it?

Takehiro.

Doctor...

I'm...

Not a doctor.

I'm not a doctor.

What do you mean?

Sorry.

I was worried about Takehiro so I called Ryu.

Have you heard the news about the clinic in Shinjuku?

No.

An illegal immigrant died during a surgical procedure.

It's supposed to be a 24-hour clinic

but some shady things are coming to light...

I can't get a hold of Takehiro.

I was looking up the incident, and Takehiro's name came up.

And...

It said he dropped out of Meirin University.

Looks like he didn't finish college.

Dropped out?

Why?

My grades dropped and my scholarship was rescinded.

I took a year off and worked part-time to save up for tuition,

but I didn't make it.

How far did you get?

Spring of senior year.

Takehiro! Here you are.

What are you doing? Cops from Tokyo are looking for you!

A director of a medical clinic in Tokyo was arrested for malpractice.

The doctor accused of medical negligence resulting in death

was Director Yuji Iwama of Komorebi Clinic in Shinjuku.

Last month, Dr. Iwama performed surgery for acute appendicitis...

You pretended to be a doctor?

No. I was doing office work at night.

There was only one doctor on shift.

Hara! I need some albumin!

Hurry up!

He wouldn't stop bleeding.

Doctor. Not that!

It's in the pharmacy!

What the hell? Hurry!

I watched a man dying

and couldn't do anything.

He's in V-fib!

What are you doing?

Damn!

Doctor... What should I have done?

Dammit!

I'm not a doctor.

Should I still have assisted?

A man died...

In front of me.

Takehiro, go to the police.

You did nothing wrong.

Why did you run away? Kuni...

Sorry, Kuni.

But...

I had nowhere else to turn.

Dr. Coto.

I let you down.

I let everyone down.

I just wanted to be like you.

I promised you I would.

But I couldn't.

You've been through a lot.

But...

If you really believe you can't save a life just because

you're not a doctor,

it's a good thing. You didn't become one.

Takehiro.

Yes?

Detectives from Tokyo came here this afternoon.

Dad.

I...

Sorry.

I'm the one who kept pushing you

to become a doctor.

No.

That's not it.

Sorry.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

I...

I'm sorry.

Dad.

I'm really sorry.

Dad...

I'm sorry!

I see. Keep me informed.

Takehiro went to the station.

He'll return to Tokyo for questioning.

I see.

He didn't do anything wrong, right?

Nami? What is it?

What? Midori? Where are you?

Your chest is clear. Your heartbeat seems fine. Let's wait and see.

Sorry to call during the night.

I told you I was fine.

Let's run some tests soon, though.

I can't have you collapsing on me.

I know. I can't die until I deliver

you and Dr. Coto's baby.

I'll make an appointment at a mainland hospital.

Doctor?

Doctor.

I wanted Takehiro

to become a doctor.

But...

that was just me.

Just my selfish desire.

Ayaka.

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor.

Doctor...

What's wrong?

Mom...

Why?

I'm with him all the time.

Why didn't I see it earlier?

Ayaka.

What?

Acute leukemia?

Yes.

What do you mean?

How could that be?

What's going to happen?

He should go to a mainland hospital right away.

He needs to see a specialist and begin treatment immediately.

What about you, Ayaka?

I don't know yet.

But we have to hurry.

It's all my fault. It's my fault this happened.

It's no one's fault.

Sorry!

You're the one who's suffering. We're completely lost here...

We've always relied on you.

I can diagnose and treat most illnesses myself.

I could even treat myself here while consulting a specialist.

You need to be hospitalized right away! It's a matter of life and death.

I know, Ayaka. But I can't leave the island right now...

I don't want that!

I don't want you to stay here and sacrifice yourself. No one wants that!

Ayaka...

Sorry.

Sorry, Ayaka.

Mr. Hoshino, about the consolidation of island clinics.

Huh?

I don't think I'll be able to take on that advisory role.

I have to let Mr. Sakano know...

Doctor!

Stop it!

Please.

Don't push it!

Think of yourself!

And me, and our baby...

Doctor...

Live...

Please live.

This is Shikinajima City Office.

Typhoon #6 is approaching.

Heavy rains and winds are expected later this afternoon.

Residents on the island should make preparations early.

Yo, Shoichi!

Did you hear about that idiot, Takehiro?

Shige, what should I do?

Shoichi?

What happened?

I knew about the illness.

I was asked to do a bone marrow test.

So it was leukemia after all.

But...

If Dr. Coto wants to treat himself on the island, then let him.

Seeing a specialist is better, but if he insists...

But how can we keep him on the island knowing he's sick?

Can we ask you to take over while Dr. Coto is getting treated?

If you insist, it wouldn't be impossible, but...

But for how long?

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be a replacement for him.

Doctor.

I don't have his skills. I can't even perform surgeries on my own,

let alone be responsible for the health of everyone on the island.

I'm not up to the task.

Being a "temporary stand-in" is one thing but...

What did you say?

I think you should find a more qualified doctor.

Nami.

How can you be so cold?

Couldn't you stay a little longer? Six months, maybe?

Dr. Coto is really sick. Can't you just stand in...

Nami, calm down.

This clinic may function while I'm here.

But what happens when I leave? Find another doctor again?

It's an endless cycle.

This premise is basically flawed.

You drag doctors to a remote island,

and everyone relies on their kindness and sacrifices.

We... We realize that!

But what else are we to do?

We've worked hard to find doctors to come to this island.

We finally found Dr. Coto and... You got lucky.

Dr. Coto provided excellent medical care on this island for the past 20 years.

But what happens once he...

Don't you dare talk like Coto is gonna die!

I'm not saying that. I'm not, but...

I think all of you rely too heavily on Dr. Coto. He's exhausted.

No wonder he's sick. Don't you agree, Mr. Wada?

I'm coming. We're in a crisis here.

OK.

Fine. I take your point.

Mr. Hoshino.

Please convince Dr. Coto to get plenty of rest.

His health

is the first priority.

I'll find another doctor.

Why are you following me?

I don't wanna go home.

What are you, a kid? How old are you, anyway?

Same as you.

I wish I could trade places with him.

Don't say stuff like that.

Dammit! If only Takehiro was a doctor.

What about my prostate?

Hey, Shige.

Dr. Hanto is right.

We relied too heavily on Dr. Coto.

Don't worry. He'll get better.

Coto's been saving lives on this island since the day he came.

He'll make it. He has to.

Don't worry.

He'll get better.

Don't worry.

What about your granny?

She's at the evacuation site already.

Want some?

No thanks.

Thanks.

You think I'm heartless?

I don't think I'm wrong.

But to be honest,

I'll never earn the trust of the people here.

Have you ever really looked at your patients?

When a patient comes in for a sore knee, Dr. Coto looks into their eyes.

To get a feel for the best course of treatment.

Have you ever tried that with your patients?

It's not that you can't. You just don't have the confidence.

Sorry.

Dr. Coto?

Takehiro.

I'm home.

They sent me home.

I see.

They'll question me further in Tokyo.

What will you do now, Takehiro?

This is your home.

Your room is untouched.

Shikina River overflowed!

You need to evacuate... Hi, Mariko.

Hey, Takehiro.

I'm going to check on the river.

Takehiro.

Come!

Sorry about this morning.

I know how you feel.

That you can't abandon the people here.

And you're worried about the clinic.

But...

You can't do it all on your own.

You need to think about yourself...

Ayaka.

Do you think

I haven't considered you and our baby?

I don't want to die.

I want to see my child.

You...

Me...

And our baby.

I want us to live here together.

It's been 20 years.

I...

Thought I understood how my patients felt.

But really...

I didn't...

know anything at all.

It's going to be OK.

You'll get through this.

I promise.

I'm going to the evacuation site. Call me if you need me.

A mudslide? Where?

Shikina River overflowed. There's a blackout in Aona.

The fire department's heading over.

I'll call the Self Defense Forces.

Stand by at the clinic. Yes.

It's a mudslide!

Let's go! Boys, come with me!

Let's go, Shoichi!

Helicopters can't fly.

I see.

How many injured?

I don't know, but we'd better be prepared.

And Dr. Coto...?

We have to manage.

We can't rely on Dr. Coto.

But someone has to go to the site.

What should we do?

Doctor! Ayaka.

I'm here. You shouldn't be!

Someone has to go to the river. You can't.

Please, stop.

But...

I'll go.

I won't let the two of you go. Come with me, Dr. Hanto.

Please stay here.

Let's go. Be careful.

I'm going too.

Doctor?

See how much fluids and antibiotics we have on hand.

Nami! Over here!

Are you OK, Miyoko?

Where does it hurt? My arm.

Your arm?

Let me check.

Light, please.

Bear with me.

Coming through! Hey, Nami.

Takehiro! Takehiro.

Grandpa's still inside.

Someone's still inside.

Old Nobu! Let's go!

Mr. Wada, Nami needs a splint.

Thanks, Nami.

Over here!

Here! Over here!

We're counting on you, Dr. Coto... I mean Dr. Hanto.

Please.

Doctor, you came to save me.

Um...

Remember?

You liked my bracelet.

Your knee.

Can you walk?

No. No?

I'll carry you. Hold on.

Thank you.

Doctor? What?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Wada, let's take them to the clinic.

Got it.

Everyone into the car.

Thank you.

Is it too tight?

Mr. Enomoto is done.

Doctor! Doctor!

Compress please.

What's wrong? He hurt his arm.

Get up slowly. Don't lower your arm. Nice and slow.

Please sit.

Use the back room.

Doctor! Can you see him next? That way.

Can you move?

Lie down if you have to.

Don't hesitate to raise your hand if it becomes intolerable.

Doctor! My wife can't breathe!

What's her saturation level?

Doctor!

Takehiro.

Old Nobu hit his head hard.

I think Miyoko broke her arm.

Nobu, we're at the clinic. Mr. Wada, make a list of patients.

Got it.

Please lie down. Bear with us.

Thank you.

Takehiro.

Nobu! Nobu!

Let me listen to your chest.

Ice it with this.

Watch your feet. There's a step.

There's a bench back there.

You'll be fine.

We'll see you next.

Nami, I need a splint.

Take an EKG and bring him in.

Excuse me. Nami.

Doctor.

Please.

I'm coming.

My husband's in pain.

I'll be with you soon.

Shige. Sorry, Doc.

It's Shige. He slipped in the mud.

I'll see him here.

Doctor, he's still shaking.

Can you check on him, Ayaka?

I will. Thanks.

I can wait. Tend to the kids first.

It'll be fine.

When can you see me? One minute.

Transfer those with lighter injuries to the evacuation site.

Are you OK, Doctor?

I'm fine.

You OK, Coto?

What is it?

People are injured at the evacuation site too. Can someone go?

I'll go!

Listen up! We're moving those with lighter injuries to the evacuation site.

Shige, stay put.

Can you give this to my granny? She may need it.

At the evacuation site? OK.

Thank you.

Can you see us next?

Be right there.

Doctor! My wife!

What about me, Doctor?

Just a minute.

Over here, too!

You'll be fine. Everyone calm down.

I'll save all of you.

Coto.

Doctor! Old Nobu's not breathing.

Turn him face up.

Ayaka, get ready to intubate.

Old Nobu.

Save all of them? That's...

We need to triage.

We can't save everybody.

Triage, Dr. Coto.

Dr. Coto!

I'll save all of them.

Thanks, Mari.

How's the clinic? Overflowing with patients.

Self Defense Forces?

Helicopters can't fly in this weather.

I see.

Is Midori here?

I haven't seen her.

She went back home.

She didn't want to sleep over here. She insisted on going home.

Midori went back home!

Who can go?

I'll go! Come on, Takehiro.

Call me when you find her!

We're counting on you!

Crap.

Midori!

Midori!

Let's go in.

Midori!

Answer me, please.

Midori!

Midori!

Takehiro!

Midori!

Midori? Are you ok?

My chest... hurts.

Your chest?

It's probably nothing...

Take her to the clinic.

We're moving you.

Taketoshi.

Can I...

Can I help? Taketoshi?

Yoko is feeling ill. Can you see her?

Sit there.

Granny! Are you ok?

Can you hear me? Granny!

How does it hurt? Don't know... It just hurts.

Where's Dr. Coto? In surgery.

You'll be fine. Bring her over!

Make way, make way!

Midori needs to be seen now. It may be a heart attack.

OK. Hold on. I have to keep massaging.

Still?

I can't let him go like this...

Dr. Coto?

I can't let Old Nobu go like this!

Ayaka, give her nitroglycerin!

OK!

Ayaka! Are you OK?

Ayaka! Does it hurt?

You'll be fine. Try to relax.

Dr. Coto!

Dr. Coto!

I can't do this...

I can't...

I told you... It's impossible.

For one doctor to save the entire island.

Dr. Coto is sick!

You can't exhaust a sick man like this.

Take a look. This is reality.

It would take a miracle to save everybody...

It's impossible.

Doctor!

Doctor!

I'm not giving up.

I'm not giving up!

I...

refuse to give up!

I won't!

Doctor...

Doctor!

Dr. Coto!

Doctor...

Don't give up, Old Nobu!

Old Nobu!

Hang in there!

Takehiro! Hang in there!

Doctor!

Takehiro!

Coto!

Hang in there, dammit!

Take over, Takehiro!

You can do it.

You can do it, Takehiro!

Dr. Coto!

Doctor!

Old Nobu's pulse is back!

Coto!

Nami... Ayaka is in preterm labor.

If we have an IV, give her ritodrine. If not, terbutaline.

Mariko, blankets, please. Got it.

Excuse me.

Dr. Hanto.

Give Old Nobu some noradrenalin.

Dr. Hanto.

Dr. Hanto!

OK...

I...

will operate on Midori.

You're in no shape to...

Never mind me.

Save...

Ayaka.

It's OK.

Midori, I need you...

to take care of our baby.

It'll be fine.

Mr. Wada, pulse? 94 over 47.

A bypass surgery without a heart-lung machine?

I'll do an off-pump.

Doctor! Sorry. I'm fine.

Mr. Wada.

We will now perform a coronary bypass on Midori Nishino.

Please assist me, Dr. Hanto, Mr. Wada.

Of course. Of course.

Vasopressor drug.

Yes, Doctor.

Sit down, Mr. Hara.

No, thanks.

Tilt the table.

Good.

Shige!

Are you OK?

Thanks.

Now tilt it back.

Dr. Coto!

I'll be right back. Call me if you need me.

What's wrong?

He fell and hurt his arm.

Are your fingertips numb? Let me see.

Midori's...

Midori's life.

Connecting vessels.

Take it easy.

Thanks, Takehiro. I'm fine.

Closing the chest. Drain, please.

Yes, Doctor.

Midori, please take care...

of Ayaka and our baby.

Even if...

I'm not here.

Doctor.

Doctor!

The surgery was successful.

Doctor.

Stay by her side.

Thank you.

Mr. Wada.

Dr. Hanto.

Thank you.

Granny.

Dr. Coto saved you.

You're OK now.

Doctor.

Please take care of Ayaka.

Doctor...

Doctor!

Dr. Coto!

How's the new tour going?

I got approval!

Great!

Thank you for my delicious bento lunch! Bye! OK, I'm back.

Your wife?

She asked me to buy milk.

You're a good husband.

New screen saver?

You noticed? It was my son's birthday yesterday.

Dad, we sent you a T-shirt. Why aren't you wearing it?

T-shirt?

You expect me to wear that T-shirt?

Shige.

He's wearing it!

Shige! Shige! Shige!

Kunio, ready?

Give me the rudder. OK.
