Original subtitles

Rock, paper, scissors.

Tell me again. How does it hurt?

It makes a "don don" and "un un" sound here.

"Don don" and "un un"?

She kept saying the same thing since yesterday.

We really have no idea what she is talking about.

There's no problem based on the examination results.

You also feel fine now, right?

Yes.

It makes a "don don" and "un un" sound.

Does it make a "guru guru" sound at night?

What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense.

Yes. It makes a "un un guru guru gurururu" sound at night.

You have a hard time sleeping when that happens.

That's right.

What exactly are you talking about?

During the recovery from surgery,

blood vessels get remodeled and collagen accumulates.

That's the cause of the itching and pain.

We are also more sensitive to pain at night.

But medication will take care of it.

Thank you.

Only Dr. Minato can understand me.

You're welcome.

What an incredible doctor.

"Gurururu", huh?

You really know children well.

Yes, it's "gurururu."

It's all right.

Don't be afraid.

Chief Nurse, let me do it.

I'll leave it to you.

Look what I have.

Hashiguchi is your friend--

- Hey! - It's all right.

- It's not scary at all. - It's all right. Come here.

What happened?

She was found unconscious at the park...

and sent here as an emergency patient.

But when we were examining her, she suddenly made a fuss.

Hey!

I'm Hashiguchi the Monkey. It's all right.

I'm Hashiguchi the Monkey. It's all right.

He's your friend.

- It's all right. - It's dangerous.

It's all right.

- Come down. - Come here.

Wait. It's dangerous. Hey.

Shindo.

Dr. Shindo.

Now is the time. Catch her!

- What? - No, don't do that!

It's all right.

I won't hurt you.

I promise.

The exam results reveal that she has urachal residue.

Who is this girl? Where did she come from?

For now, we know nothing yet.

How come?

She doesn't talk at all.

We're not sure if she can speak.

So we don't know her name and age?

Yes. But we've already contacted the police...

and asked them to confirm her identity.

Another troublesome patient.

I can't handle it if anything happens again.

- I need to use the toilet! - Me too!

Don't run in the hallway, kids.

Dr. Takayama.

I want to be that child's attending physician.

Please let me stay with her...

around the clock.

You mean that girl who made a huge fuss?

- Yes. - Are you kidding me?

You won't be able to handle her.

I can.

Please let me be her attending physician.

Dr. Shindo.

Being her attending physician won't be an easy task.

Listen to me, everyone.

Regarding the girl who was sent in today,

I've decided...

to make Dr. Shindo her attending physician.

No way. She doesn't speak at all.

That's right. Even making basic conversation is hard.

Are you planning to disobey my orders?

What is the meaning of this?

Nothing. We're just short on staff.

He is the only one who is free.

Dr. Shindo Minato will be her attending physician.

It's final.

Yes, it's all set. I'm her attending physician.

I'll surely make her well.

(Good Doctor: Episode 4)

Calm down and work hard.

Yes, I'll work hard.

By the way,

if there is anything you don't know, come and ask me immediately.

Yes, I will.

Hang on.

I think I forgot to remind you about something...

Take a deep breath.

- What? - A deep breath...

can regulate your autonomic nerves and help you calm down.

Please try it.

Hey.

It's all right.

It's really all right. It'll be over soon.

- Come on. - No.

She's afraid of the drip.

Dr. Minato.

I'll be your attending physician starting today.

My name is Shindo Minato.

I'll do my best.

What? You're in charge of her?

This drip...

contains four nutrients required for survival.

Glucose, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.

At first, it might hurt a little bit.

But you should feel better after the drip.

Can you give me your arm?

You'll become very energetic.

Careful!

Chief.

Please share this with everyone in the pediatric surgery department.

Thank you.

Not at all.

I should be the one to thank you.

What?

Thank you for becoming Dr. Shindo's instructing doctor.

It's fine.

How is Dr. Shindo?

Honestly,

I feel like I'm the one who is learning a lot from him.

I see.

But...

the others are still prejudiced against Dr. Shindo.

He doesn't think like normal people do.

And I know that people around him...

are having a hard time understanding him.

But please believe in him.

Let him do things...

according to his own way.

Yes.

Please let me hear the sound in your stomach.

It won't hurt.

I've let Dr. Shindo...

be the attending physician, as you've instructed.

It's only a matter of time Shindo will cause trouble.

As expected of you, Dr. Mamiya.

I'm looking forward to your performance.

Yes.

But is doing so really...

How about becoming the department head?

What?

If Chief's retirement goes smoothly,

the pediatric surgery department will also be eliminated.

When that happens,

I'll prepare a satisfactory position for you.

Really?

Of course. If things go as planned,

the president will also be very happy, right?

You won't recover if you don't eat.

I know. Let's get you rice balls.

Rice balls are very delicious.

Seto, you'll be that girl's attending physician.

But Dr. Mamiya said...

that her attending physician is Dr. Shindo.

It's fine. You can go and replace him now.

He just started. Why are you asking me to replace him?

It will be too late once something happens.

Dr. Seto.

Is Dr. Shindo here?

(Pediatric Surgery Department)

He's here.

Where did you go?

We found Akari's mom.

Akari?

That's her name.

Oishi Akari, she's seven years old.

Mrs. Oishi.

This is her attending physician, Dr. Shindo Minato.

I'm Shindo Minato.

I'm her attending physician.

I'll do my best.

Doctor.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

We caused you trouble.

Not at all.

How nice, Akari. Your mom found you.

She didn't come home after dark.

I didn't feel at ease, so I reported it to the police.

Then I found out she was here.

Mrs. Oishi, it's all right.

You've found her now.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Shindo, explain her condition.

Yes.

- Please come with us. - All right.

This way, please.

These are rice balls.

The urachus remnant formed during the embryonic period...

was left on her body and contracted an infection.

It's now in a suppurative state.

If left unchecked, it will develop into peritonitis,

so surgery is required.

Surgery?

Does that mean she needs to stay in the hospital now?

She needs to stay for 10 days.

Is that so?

Well...

I'd like to confirm something with you, ma'am.

Sure.

Akari doesn't talk.

Sorry to ask, but is this congenital?

It must be my fault.

I'm not Akari's birth mom.

Her birth mom died when she was three years old.

Half a year ago, I married her dad, and moved in with them.

At first, she would talk to me occasionally.

But gradually, she stopped answering when I talked to her.

In the past month, she never said a word.

I see.

She fainted in the park, right?

We found her at the Octopus Tentacles Park.

Akari loves that park.

I heard she used to play with her mom and dad there before.

But every time I want to bring her there,

she is not very happy about it.

I don't know what to do...

to make her open up to me.

Your dad will be back from his business trip tomorrow.

He'll visit you as soon as he arrives.

Your dad is very worried.

He asked me if you were all right.

Here.

I was afraid you would be bored here,

so I brought your stuff over.

Doctor, I'll take my leave now.

Please take care of Akari.

All right.

Do you like to draw?

I really like to draw.

Drawings are my good friends.

I always draw when I'm sad or happy.

Why don't we draw together?

(Oishi Akari. Attending Physician: Shindo Minato)

I'll take the responsibility.

Because that was the condition for accepting him.

If things go as planned,

the president will also be very happy, right?

Hello.

Are you still working?

Yes.

Can you still make it?

Do you want me to move our reservation?

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it tonight.

There's an emergency surgery.

I see.

All right. I'll cancel it then.

Sorry.

It's fine.

I'll go ahead then.

Don't tell anyone.

I've reached my limit. Let me sleep for five minutes.

I'm sleepy too.

Hi, President.

It's nice to see you here.

Same to you.

Where is Dr. Takayama?

He should still be working.

Really?

I heard there was an emergency surgery yesterday.

There was no problem, right?

Emergency surgery?

Wasn't there one last night?

No, there wasn't.

I see. That's good.

I'll leave then.

You want to transfer to another hospital?

I had a discussion with my husband last night.

If she needs to stay in the hospital,

it would be more convenient if it's a hospital near our house.

I see.

Since it's the guardian's request, there shouldn't be a problem.

I'll tell her attending physician, Dr. Shindo.

Thank you.

Dr. Shindo. Perfect timing.

Well...

What's the matter?

We're looking for Dr. Minato.

Dr. Minato?

He is here, right?

Do you mean Dr. Shindo?

He found the reason my stomach was aching yesterday.

I wrote him a Thank You letter.

Is that so?

He is a really gentle and interesting doctor.

I heard he is autistic.

My mom told me that.

- Autistic? - Yes.

Dr. Minato.

Here is a Thank You letter for yesterday.

- Akari, let's go. - Wait.

Wait.

Doctor?

Wait.

Where are you bringing her?

I won't let you transfer her to another hospital.

I won't give Akari to you.

Wait, Doctor.

Let go of her.

I won't give Akari to you.

I'll never give her to you.

Wait.

Hey, wait!

What are you doing?

Sorry, may I ask which room is Oishi Akari in?

Are you Akari's dad?

Yes. Where is my daughter?

Something happened!

Dr. Shindo, he...

Dr. Shindo.

Akari.

Kaoru, what's the matter? What happened?

Are you all right?

When I requested Akari to be transferred,

that doctor said he would never give her to me.

He even knocked me down.

- Let go. - No.

Let go of Akari.

Akari, are you all right?

Great. It's all right.

Did you really use force on her?

If you don't tell us, nobody will understand.

The child's mom said Shindo used force on her.

This guy doesn't want his patient to be taken away,

so he used force.

Please answer, Dr. Shindo.

Whatever the reason is,

you cannot resort to violence in the hospital.

I'm really sorry,

but according to the hospital's regulation,

he will be dismissed as a penalty.

How should we handle this, President?

We'll have a Penalty Committee Meeting...

in a few days.

Let's decide his penalty then.

Before that, he can just reflect at home.

If you're thinking of firing him,

I'll also take responsibility for this.

Dr. Shindo.

You wouldn't use force without a reason.

Tell me what happened.

I'm not telling you.

Why?

You'll be fired if you don't.

I'm not telling you.

Hey.

You should have replaced him before anything happened.

You'll be the attending physician.

Yes.

Thanks to him, the Chief can step down smoothly.

Finally.

- Here. - Yes.

(Togo Memorial Hospital - Reform Plan) This is the plan you've mentioned before, right?

I've already informed the president.

All right. Please assist me on this.

Let's drink.

How can I let you pour for me?

It's fine.

I see. I'll accept it then.

Don't tell anyone.

We're really sorry.

No, we're at fault too.

- I'm sorry. - I told you it's not your fault, Kaoru.

You're tired, right?

Go home and get some rest.

I'm fine.

- I have to stay with Akari. - It's all right.

What if you get sick too?

I'll get going then.

She needs surgery, right?

Yes.

She has an abscess in her stomach.

We have to perform surgery before it ruptures...

and leads to peritonitis.

Is that so?

When did this start?

Based on her condition,

she must have endured the pain for a long time.

- Pain? - Yes.

Why didn't she tell me?

In the past,

she was a talkative child.

Every time I feel sad...

after my first wife died,

she would smile encouragingly and say,

"Dad, cheer up."

All of her friends have moms...

who make them cute lunch boxes,

pick out cute clothes and do their hair.

There are a lot of things a single dad cannot do.

When I realized Akari needed a mom,

I met...

my current wife.

But...

I don't think it's going well.

As a result,

Akari and my wife are both suffering.

Honestly,

I feel really useless.

What?

- What is it? - What happened?

-Tell me. - Hurry up.

I won't tell anyone.

- Tell us. - What are you doing?

Good morning, Akari. You should eat your breakfast.

Akari?

Akari.

Akari?

She is gone?

Yes.

She is not at the other patients' rooms too.

Did Shindo do something again?

Isn't Dr. Shindo reflecting at home?

But we never know what that guy would do.

- Seto, please check this matter. - Yes.

You guys, find her before it turns serious.

Yes.

Yes?

Hello.

- This is Seto. - Yes.

Akari is missing.

We're looking for her now.

Do you know where she is?

I'll find her too. I'll go to the hospital now.

Dr. Seto, she's not in the yard or the playroom.

I'll see if she is in the other patients' rooms.

Thank you.

Dr. Seto!

Nothing on this side. I'll go to the canteen.

All right.

Doctor, nothing on this side either.

- I'll look over there. - All right.

Doctor.

Do you have a minute?

What's the matter?

It's regarding Dr. Shindo.

What?

Come on. Tell her what you saw.

It's not Dr. Minato's fault.

I saw it.

I won't give Akari to you.

I'll never give her to you.

Wait.

I won't give Akari to you.

I'll never give her to you.

Akari is very afraid.

What are you talking about?

Give me back that child!

So it's not Dr. Minato's fault.

He was scared, so he didn't tell you immediately.

Thank you for telling me.

Hello.

What did you want to tell me?

- This is... - Shindo...

Maybe he knows about this.

Doctor!

Dr. Shindo contacted us.

He said he found Akari.

I knew you would be here.

This place is very important to you.

Akari loves that park.

I heard she used to play with her mom and dad there before.

Everyone is worried about you.

Let's go back to the hospital.

I don't understand.

I don't understand what you're thinking.

I've been thinking about it...

ever since you told me not to tell anyone.

But I still don't understand.

Why can't you tell the truth?

Where is Akari?

She is at the park where she fainted.

Dr. Shindo is with her now.

Why is that doctor there?

He might do something to Akari again.

Kaoru, wait here. I'll go get them.

Wait, Mr. Oishi.

Can I speak with you for a moment?

It seems that Dr. Shindo didn't use any force.

What?

A child patient saw it.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but your wife fell on her own.

Are you saying that Kaoru lied?

Even though it might be hard to believe...

Why would she lie?

Mr. Oishi.

Please take a look at this.

(Happy Learning Sketchbook)

This is...

I should just endure it a little bit more.

I should just endure it.

No.

If you're sad, say you're sad.

If you're in pain, say you're in pain.

Or else your heart will break.

Akari.

Are you all right?

- Please give way. - Akari, are you all right?

Akari, are you all right?

- Please. - Akari!

- Please. - Mr. Oishi, please wait here.

Doctor, she'll be fine, right?

We'll do our best, but she is in a critical condition now.

Please wait here.

The abscess ruptured, causing a large area of peritonitis.

We must perform surgery immediately.

As long as we clean the abdomen and remove the abscess,

we can save her.

We have to save Akari.

Dr. Takayama.

The one who knows Akari's condition the most...

is her attending physician, Dr. Shindo.

Please.

Please allow Dr. Shindo to enter the operating room.

Hurry and get changed.

Yes!

Doctor, please save her.

Please save Akari.

Yes.

We'll be performing...

the urachal remnant extraction surgery.

Due to peritonitis, we'll clean out the abdomen and remove the abscess.

- Scalpel. - Yes.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Gauze. - Yes.

February 18.

I have a new mom today.

Her dishes taste so different from mine.

It isn't so. Right, Akari?

No. This tastes even better.

After my new mom came,

Dad smiled again after a long time.

When Dad smiles, I'm happy too.

March 25.

I cleaned my room with Mother today.

Akari, you really look like your mom.

Yes, Dad always says that.

She said I look like my mom.

I'm really happy.

I want to get closer to Mother...

and tell her about a lot of things.

April 17.

Mother got mad at me.

Mother, let's go to the park together.

Go there by yourself.

Why? Let's go together.

You're so noisy.

Didn't I tell you to go by yourself?

Lately, Mother is very scary.

I hope Mother will go back to normal soon.

- Kelly. - Yes.

Be careful not to damage the skin.

- You can do it. - Yes.

You can do it.

May 19.

Mother said she hates me.

Look at that.

You're such a messy eater.

Because I'm a messy eater, the dining table got dirty.

That's why Mother got mad at me.

What?

Don't look at me like that.

Didn't I tell you not to look at me?

I hate the look in your eyes!

It's so similar to your mom's.

Mother said she hates the look in my eyes.

When will Dad be back?

June 8.

I had a terrible stomachache.

Mother.

I have a stomachache.

- Mother. - Shut up.

I don't want to hear your voice.

Mother doesn't want to hear my voice.

Urachal remnant extraction is complete.

Send for pathological examination.

We just have to clean the abdomen now.

June 22.

Dad came back from his business trip.

- How are you with Akari? - Yes?

Are you two getting along well?

Don't worry.

Let me take care of Akari.

Mother is very gentle and considerate with Dad.

Look. I tried making beef stew.

Dad smiles so happily when he is with her.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.

In order not to bother Dad and Mother,

I stayed quiet and didn't make a sound.

July 2.

Dad went on a business trip again.

Akari.

I'll buy you lots of gifts when I get back.

All right.

I'll get going then.

He always goes on business trips.

He doesn't even want...

to stay home at all.

Do you know why?

Because you're very troublesome!

Things would be better if you weren't here.

- But Dad... - You're so noisy!

Didn't I tell you to shut up?

Mother said...

that I'm very troublesome.

That's why Dad doesn't want to come home.

If I wasn't here, Dad would be back.

Suture the fascia.

- Tweezers. - Yes.

- Thread three. - Yes.

Vital signs are dropping.

Why is this happening?

Vital signs are dropping.

Why is this happening?

It's internal bleeding.

Her blood pressure dropped after her heartbeat accelerated,

so it caused internal bleeding in the abdomen.

- Open the peritoneum. Hurry. - Yes.

- Kocher. - Yes.

Mayo Dissecting Scissors. Gauze.

Prepare red blood cells. Also, increase blood flow.

I heard Akari collapsed.

Get out of here immediately.

Why? I've been taking care of Akari every day.

Don't you ever...

Don't you ever...

go near Akari again.

We can't find the source of the bleeding.

Can it be heart failure?

No, based on her vital signs it's not related to heart disease.

What's happening?

Where exactly is the source of the bleeding?

Aside from her navel, it seems like Akari felt pain...

on her left abdomen as well.

Based on the shadow on the inner part of her colon,

it might be Meckel's diverticulum.

The Meckel's diverticulum caused intestinal ulcers.

And the ulcer is bleeding.

Find the area of the Meckel's diverticulum and extract it.

Yes.

Doctor.

The operation was a success.

That's great.

It's not over yet.

What?

Akari.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I let you suffer on your own.

I'm really,

really sorry.

Akari.

You don't need to endure it anymore.

Tell your Dad how you feel.

Or your heart will break.

You shouldn't lie to your family.

Tell your dad the truth.

You were smiling so happily.

What?

Even though Mom's not here anymore,

you've been working hard for me, right?

(Akari)

All right.

Oh, no!

You made my lunch box so early in the morning.

Gosh, it hurts.

You did a lot of things for me.

(Oishi Akari)

Dad.

What's the matter? Did I wake you up?

I'll help you.

There's no need.

You still have to go to school tomorrow, right?

You have to go to bed.

- Okay? - Yes. All right.

- Good night. - Good night.

You worked very hard every day...

for me.

You did all the housework.

Even though I'm very happy,

but I feel sad when I have to see you work.

I just want you to smile.

Every time you're with Mother,

you look very happy.

That's why...

It's my turn to endure it this time.

Akari.

But...

Actually,

I want...

to live together with you.

Just the two of us.

Don't worry. It's all right now.

Akari, it's all right now.

Akari.

Akari.

It's all right now.

He is a really outstanding attending physician.

We discovered the Meckel's diverticulum...

because of Dr. Shindo as well.

You allowed Dr. Shindo to be in the operating room.

Thank you so much for that.

Shindo is innocent.

It's not going so well.

Yes.

This idea is indeed not...

But don't worry.

What?

I already know what to do next.

(Marunouchi Central Bank)

This won't work.

If you cut off our funding now, our hospital will...

Please extend it to next year, at least.

Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work.

Here.

I already have one.

How about having another one?

Thank you.

I hope Akari lives happily after all that happened.

That's what I've been praying for...

over and over.

She willingly endured that much pain.

She really loves her dad.

I really love my dad too.

But I think my dad hated me.

He always kicked and punched me.

Because I wasn't a good kid.

I also endured it no matter how sad or painful it was.

Because I thought...

he would like me someday if I just endured it.

Where is your dad now?

I don't know.

But I really miss him.

I want him to see that I have become a doctor.

Excuse me.

What did you want to talk about?

It's regarding Shindo.

You're his instructing doctor, so I'm informing you first.

I'm transferring Shindo...

to the diagnostic imaging department.

What?

Safe.

I want him to leave the pediatric surgery department.

Amazing.

Doctor, let's do it again.

He can't sing high notes anymore.

He has to undergo surgery immediately.

How can I let him undergo such a high-risk procedure?

Are you all right?

- Please get out. - No.

I'm against transferring Dr. Shindo to another department.

The frequency of his voice is...

Let's all practice.

We should be able to protect his dream.

My little brother had a dream too.

Looking at Shindo makes me think of my little brother.

That old man made a lot of money.

What they want to protect is the child's future.

We need him.

Please.
