- Have the vitals changed? -There was no change in the car.
-How many gauges is the drip? -20
-Transfer to the treatment room. -What about the bed?
It's okay.
Please continue CPR.
Yes
Dr. Morioka, please do intubation.
Yes.
-Prepare for intubation. -Yes
Increase oxygen flow. I'll do thoracentesis.
Here's the amputated arm.
-Dr. Sawako, the intubation is over. -What about the vitals?
Blood pressure 108, 45. Saturation 92%.
-Prepare a ventilator. -Here's the scalpel.
Trocar, please. French 24.
Pupils 33. It's clear.
-Dr. Maeda, please continue. -Yes.
-I'll cut the intestine. Please prepare electric scalpel. -Yes
-How? Not coming back? -He's in cardiac arrest.
-Keep going. -Yes.
Doc!
Huh?
What's up?
She got hit by a car right there and came to outpatient. What should I do?
It's not like this or that.
Please help. I beg you.
Noro, move her to treatment room.
Yes
Please wait here.
Please
It must hurt, right?
It hurts!
Bring the echo (echocardiogram). Get me the route.
Yes
Sorry
Dr. Shiraishi
A patient with chest trauma just now had a cardiac arrest in the CT room.
Wait a moment, okay?
It hurts!
There are two things I want to check.
Seiji Noro
You performed an injection to a girl in the ER.
Did you do any medical treatment?
The child was hurting. I can't watch it.
Did you put the needle?
Yes
Then...
Are you a doctor?
No, but...
No excuses
-Noro, for us... -Excuse me.
Dr. Shiraishi
You don't need to come specially.
Specially?
I heard that Noro was called for what he did at ER.
If so, as the person-in-charge on that day,
I hope you don't talk without me.
Dr. Shiraishi
If you have anything to say, please go ahead.
After the girl he brought is left behind,
I don't think Noro was wrong as a human for thinking he had to do something,
As a human?
You can do anything as a human.
He doesn't have a medical license.
Our mission is to protect the hospital.
The claim of the patient's mother could shake the hospital.
In any case, claims must be suppressed.
Please consider that.
In short, someone has to take responsibility, right?
Then, I'll be the one.
I was in-charge.
No, but...
So, Noro is not guilty.
A Morning of Farewell (2021)
Father, did you come to fetch me?
Since I'm out for a walk.
-I'm back. -Welcome back.
I ended up in the nearby clinic.
I'm glad you came back.
Oh my! You drew them so well!
How is it? Can we sell it?
Well
It'd be nice to have something to do, anyway.
Otherwise, we'll be haunted.
Ahh, I remember it!
-Mother? -Yes.
It'd be nice if you drew her more similar.
Maybe I hardly remember her face.
I'll tidy up.
Mahoroba is an ancient Japanese word meaning "a wonderful place".
It's Mahoroba.
Hello
Come on in!
Welcome to Mahoroba Clinic.
I'm the director, Toru Senkawa.
I'm thankful!
I can't believe myself to have an amazing doctor like you come from a big Tokyo hospital.
This is Sawako Shiraishi.
I'm glad.
There are doctors who make patients nervous just by looking at their face,...
and there are reassuring doctors.
You are really the latter.
A doctor who reassures people.
Is it so?
Yeah!
Even if it feels like it's going to fall apart, some swear by Mahoroba Clinic after we run for 3 generations.
But the car is falling apart due to the steering wheel who looks like this.
Dr. Shiraishi, you are the goddess of redemption to this clinic.
I want to bow to thank you.
No
-Good morning. -Good morning, Mayo.
Dr. Shiraishi is already here.
Nice to meet you. I'm the nurse, Mayo Hoshino.
This is Sawako Shiraishi. Nice to meet you.
Another goddess of this clinic.
Though she's young, she is a really reliable nurse.
You two, please continue from now on.
Please teach me a lot of things. It's my first time doing home care.
You can't say that in front of the patient.
'Cause it just makes them anxious.
Dr. Shiraishi, you can just only report the progress of the patient.
Of course.
But how many patients now?
Yes, over there.
We put the marks.
Is this all?
Yes, that's all.
Terada Chieko, 40 years old.
Terminal lung cancer but refuses to be treated.
As a geisha, she's wonderful with a lot of talks.
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
Excuse me.
Inhale
Exhale
Thank you.
Cigarette.
Oh my, I'm sorry.
I think you should quit smoking.
How different to my life expectancy if I quit?
-To live a little longer. -Doc.
It's not living to just lie on the bed and eat all day.
Without skills, I'm done as a geisha.
My life will be over.
What kind of treatment does Dr. Senkawa give?
Last time, you were talking about your mom, right?
Yeah, that was weird.
Namiki Shizu, 80 years old.
She was hospitalized for cerebral hemorrhage and was treated with a gastrointestinal fistula.
It's been 3 months since she returned home.
She lives alone with her husband, Tokusaburo.
-You'll need this. -What?
Hello! This is from Mahoroba Clinic!
I'm coming in!
Can you do that?
It's fine.
Come on.
Hello, excuse me.
Use the slippers.
Mrs. Namiki!
We have the new doctor.
What? Is it today?
I called you this morning.
I'll turn off the TV.
Excuse me
Hello, I'm Shiraishi, the doctor.
What?
A woman? Will it be okay?
She is Dr. Senkawa's guarantee.
This way.
Mrs. Namiki
I'm Shiraishi. Nice to meet you.
Hello
I will tighten it up a bit.
Oh! Dr. Sawako, don't!
Wait, wait!
Shizu really hates having her hands tightened.
It doesn't hurt or itch no matter how high or low your blood pressure is.
She won't live long anyway.
Right, Shizu?
It's fine.
Really, please.
Mr. Namiki
It's hard to do it all alone, right?
What?
What do you think? Calling a helper.
How many times do I have to say this?
I don't need, okay?
She doesn't like others wiping her.
She can wake me up when she goes toilet at night.
She can tell me to change diapers.
I really don't understand what you're saying.
Oh, my.
It's impossible to do this everyday.
Sorry, I don't have a driver's license.
Even so, it's full of strange people.
I didn't do any treatment today.
It's fine. You went to their home.
What?
I am grateful to you for coming.
If this continue, Mahoroba Clinic will be ruined.
But your opinion is very different from Dr. Senkawa.
I'll leave first to go to the nursery to pick up the child.
What? Mayo, do you have children?
It's my sister's, but... bye!
What do you mean?
Dr. Sawako!
Noro! What happened?
I came to see you. It took me 6 hours by car.
Come in first.
Thank you! I'll help.
Thanks.
I'm glad you came to meet me but...
How are you working at the hospital?
Here.
I quit.
Why?
They criticized me a lot.
A human who has failed medical license exam 3 times in a row,
Has came in to become a clerk through parents' ties.
More than that, I'd like to work alongside you.
Um...working....
I can't afford to hire anyone here.
Car errand or cleaning, I'll do anything.
It's my atonement.
Please.
Wait! Don't do that.
-Please! -Noro!
Let me work here.
-Hold on. No. -Please.
Wouldn't it be okay? You working here.
Eh?
Is it okay to decide that easily?
Of course since I'm the director.
What's more, a fine man like him is saying "I want to work here!"
That's enough.
Thank you!
No, no.
-Thank you! -Noro, right?
Whose fancy car is that?
Oh, sorry. It's his car.
Oh, who are you?
Yes, the new staff at Mahoroba Clinic.
The young man, Noro.
Rather, do you bring your own car?
-Oh, yes. -Oh!
You have a lot of potential!
Really? Thank you!
More than that, I just passed by with a bicycle.
What? Did you pass by?
Did you pass by?
"Passed by" means did you scratch it?
Where did you pass by?
Eh..
Ms. Natsuki's pressure ulcers have gotten a lot better.
Today, she's smiling all the time.
Good!
We'll continue to monitor her progress.
Yes, I see.
Then, the report is over with this. Okay!
Master, shall we eat?
It's ready.
That master is...
He has an obsession with Mongolia but...
He makes delicious food!
We are using this instead of Japanese restaurant design.
Mayo helped a lot with this, right?
Yes
Dr. Senkawa, I have a suggestion.
- What? -It's impossible for me to do it alone but...
I think I can do if Dr. Shiraishi and Mr. Noro help me.
What? I'll do it.
I will do anything, leave it to me.
-Very motivated! -I'll do it.
-Now? -No, not now.
-Not now? -Not now.
Let's eat first.
Sorry
Be careful when you sort trash and other things.
'Cause there may be something precious.
Alright.
- Are you okay, Noro? -Yes, I'm okay.
Can't you endure any longer?
Act like your age.
Shut up! I'm holding it in because I'm working with Dr. Sawako.
Even if there's a dead rat, I'll do it.
You talk big. I hope there's a dead rat.
This is too much!
I can't. I'm going to throw up.
What? If you want to throw up, go over there!
Over there. Over there. There's toilet.
Turn right. Turn right.
Gently! Gently!
Don't make a hole in the bag. Don't spill the mysterious fluids.
What what what?
It's okay. Safe!
What is it again?
How are you feeling?
Thank you.
It became the same as when Shizu was healthy.
Excuse me
Passed away at 4:10 pm.
Mr. Tokusaburo
For a long time, you managed to do it on your own.
Mrs. Shizu will be happy.
Please take a good look.
Really?
Are you making me happy?
It's a lot of work.
'I'd rather die.' she said several times.
She said "I'm really going to break up with this guy."
Shizu
I'm talking about you, okay?
Shizu, huh?
I'm
I'm talking about you.
Shizu Shizu
Shizu
Enohara Issei, 39 years old.
Quadriplegia due to spinal injury in an accident during the hobby triathlon.
Mahoroba Clinic is doing Home-care visit.
CEO of the IT company OneFact with an annual income of 300 million yen.
This company will be gone in 3 days without me.
So, I can't stay in hospital.
Think of today as a job interview.
Yes
First, let's look at your career.
I had a train accident in Spain where I traveled while attending university.
I can't stand with anxiety seeing a lot of injured people.
But since the first-aid doctor is great, I was able to relax.
I applied for medical school again the following year.
Since then, I have been working in the field of first-aid.
I quit being a regular doctor and working in home-care.
For me...
I can't trust you. Home-care doctors...
That's contradictory.
That's why I'm doing a job interview.
I don't want to be left unattended by a doctor with no knowledge.
However, spinal cord injury is not my specialization.
What should I do?
High-tech medical care.
High-tech?
If so, how about going to a big hospital?
That's right.
Unfortunately, in home care, high-tech treatment is...
Don't make assumptions!
Please don't make assumptions!
Then, there'll be no progress.
If you look at our medical system,
There's almost no difference between what you can do at home and in the hospital.
You can do it but you just don't want to.
It's because home-care doctors don't have the knowledge and courage, right?
It might be.
What I want to ask you is to play the role of coordinator.
I don't care how much money it costs.
Please save me with all your might.
I understand your wish well.
I'll look into what to do.
Please let me review once.
Are you really okay?
Noro, I'm very excited right now.
I am very excited to treat Mr. Enohara.
Huh? Wait a minute.
Wow, really?
Isn't there a privilege for clinic vehicles?
Mahoroba Clinic
Sakagami. It's been a while. How are you?
I've changed a lot but I'm healthy.
I'll say it again.
Was I mad at you?
It's not like that.
Yes, I already forgot.
More than that, there's something I really want to ask you today.
As I just said,
Stem cell therapy is not established yet to be safe or effective.
It becomes a treatment with various risks.
Yeah, I see.
We are treated as independent medical care, are you really okay with that?
How much is it?
The cost for 1 round is 15 million yen.
Also, I'm not sure if you'll get the right treatment effect.
I don't mind.
I get what you mean.
Actually, with recommendation from the professor at Regenerative Medical Center at Kaga University,
the doctor in-charge seems already decided.
Already?
Awesome! That's awesome!
The place is a regenerative medicine clinic in Toyama.
It's a distance that you can travel around.
Good! Good!
Oh right
I want to show you.
Change to the main floor.
Everyone, it's Enohara.
With the recommendation Dr. Shiraishi of Mahoroba Clinic,
I'm trying out high-tech regenerative medicine.
We must always move.
I'll come to your floor.
Wait for me.
We will wait!
Please have some.
Why did you come when I'm alone?
I don't want anyone to know.
Dr. Sawako, don't you remember me?
I was next door when I was young. It's Tomoko Nakagawa.
Oh, Tomoko!
Wow, you've grown a lot!
Because I haven't seen you since I was young.
What are you doing now?
I'm a professional Go-player.
Ah, I see!
In the past, my mother used to say you worked hard to go to the dojo.
Ah, that's great.
Why are you here?
This.
Record from a previous hospital.
Do you want a second opinion?
No, it's not.
But I absolutely hate my hair falling out.
I ran away.
How many times did you get hit?
Huh?
Anti-cancer drugs.
I can tell by looking at your hands.
It's the 2nd time.
But I got better after surgery 5 years ago.
I'll check it.
Mrs. Nakagawa has relapsed.
The cancer has spread in the lungs.
Probably, her waist too.
Do you know about the Go-player Tomoko Nakagawa?
No. How about you?
Yes, I'm bad at it but I play Go.
Well, in the world of Go,
Everyone knows about Tomoko Nakagawa.
First of all, she's strong, she's also pretty and kind.
In other words, she is a star in the world of Go.
Why did that kind of person come to Mahoroba Clinic, which has no equipment and seems to be falling apart.
She came to rely on me since we know each other when we were young?
Dr. Sawako
Go is war.
It's a fight.
I heard that you can lose about 3kg in one round.
Well, on top of that, she's a pro.
It's going to be hard to respond to sponsors.
On top of that, she's fighting against her own illness.
Maybe she came to you to be freed from that fight, and have a peaceful time?
But it's such a waste.
I believe it's worth trying the latest treatment.
Well, Tomoko Nakagawa came because she relies on you.
So, please provide appropriate treatment.
This is the same as before, right?
Honestly, I don't remember at all.
I think it's my first time here.
I thought it was a place of memories.
Sorry
I should've said I remember.
You don't have to worry about that at all.
But I'm happy.
Since you guide me like this.
Me too.
You're overflowing with kindness.
I didn't think you are a star!
Eh?
I heard about you from another person.
I didn't really want to be known.
Let's not talk about my illness today.
I remember here!
This bus stop is just like the old days.
Let's go to your house.
I don't know if it's been completely rebuilt.
Is your house the same?
Yes, just like the old days.
My father is old, but he hasn't changed.
Your husband?
You're asking nicely.
I don't have.
I was in a relationship with someone.
But he went to study abroad.
So, we naturally broke up.
What about you?
I have a husband and a daughter.
He treats me kindly.
What? I thought you were single!
I was worried!
But in the end, I'll be alone.
Let's go to your house.
No, this is enough.
Let's take a selfie here? At the bus stop.
Great!
Dr. Sawako
How much longer can I live?
Forever, eternally.
Will you come to our restaurant tonight?
Eh? Is there such a place?
Yes! I will.
Everyone, please welcome Mrs. Nakagawa.
Well, I'm glad.
Mrs. Nakagawa, this is not a restaurant nor a bar,
So, it's just a hideout.
Do you know who is he impersonating?
- Huh? No. -Right?
-He said it's Tetsuro Tanba. -Hello.
He's just doing it when he's in good mood.
Then Noro, you should do something too.
Heh?
-It might come out in the exam. - How would it be!
Then
You fool! You fool! I'm here. You're in the middle!
-Wait, I can't guess at all. -No!
It's hard.
You don't know who it is, do you?
It's Beat Takeshi!
Right!
Wait a minute!
Next is Mayo! You try something, too!
Eh then...
I'm a big family member.
Who is it?
It's Inoue Yosui!
-Oh, I thought so! -Right?
He doesn't know at all!
-I look alike, right? -Yosui, right?
-Mrs. Nakagawa -Yes
-Will you do? -Eh...
Please stop. I feel bad for her.
Okay, right?
Then, I'll do Tetsuya Takeda.
I won't look alike at all!
I want to live here forever!
Amazing
I thought it was the real Takeda.
It's the masterful skill!
Master
It was the first time I ate such a delicious dish.
Thank you.
This is what Master said.
He said it's Mongolian food, but nobody knows.
But it's delicious!
Oh yeah?
Then, Master should do something in return.
Eh? Me?
Then...
Wait, wait.
Who are you doing?
President of Mongolia
How could we know!
I don't know!
I also don't know!
Wonderful!
Come.
Dr. Sawako, I will try again.
Actually, a hospital in Fukui recommended me to try the high-tech treatment.
What kind of treatment is it?
I don't know, but they say the hair won't fall out.
We don't have facilities here.
Your face says "Try it".
I will cheer for you.
But I had a lot of fun.
Meeting you for the last 3 days.
Yes.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Anything!
I want to hug you.
It's fine!
A little tighter.
More
Go in.
-Noro, I'll leave her to you. -Yes.
I'll also listen to the hospital over there.
I'm closing.
Can I come back?
She looks healthier than expected.
I think her back hurts.
She's holding it in.
Tomoko.
I've been hearing about you from mom.
After the test, she suddenly got sick and vomited.
Then, she lost consciousness.
Please look at this.
She set it as lock screen.
Dr. Senkawa
Dr. Senkawa!
Dr. Senkawa.
I...
If cancer is cured right now, the average life expectancy will go up by 20 years.
Then, Japan will starve to death.
Let's think like that.
You did a good job.
Father
Welcome back.
Do you remember?
What?
When I worked as an art teacher in high school,
When it rained, your mom came out to meet me at that station while hugging you.
With an umbrella.
I like that so when it feels like it's going to rain,
I intentionally forgot my umbrella and went out.
That's why you come to meet me sometimes.
I don't want to end it like that.
Pardon?
Your mom, she didn't have any consciousness, but always with the drips.
Promise me, Sawako.
What?
Don't let me die that way.
What are you suddenly talking about?
Don't ask.
Promise me.
Okay.
I promise.
This is it, right?
What do you want to eat?
I've never tried shrimp like this!
You had.
So, what about this?
I haven't eaten.
It's Kuri Kinton. (Candied chestnut)
Norocchi and Dr. Senkawa said they would pick me up.
I can't believe we're celebrating New Year together.
I lost my parents early and it was just me and my sister.
It's like a dream to celebrate New Year together.
Like a real family
Ahh!
Something to wipe! Something.
Sawako
I'll go get New Year's cards.
Oh, let's go together.
It's ok, it's close.
No, I'll go with you.
It's ok. It's ok.
I'll go with him for a while.
Yes
Dr. Sawako! Your father!
Are you okay?
Father
It's right femur fracture.
The operation was successful but he's old.
I think it will take some time to rehabilitate.
I'm sorry I was with him.
It's not because of you.
Wakabayashi Moe, 8 years old.
Repeatedly hospitalized and discharged for childhood cancer.
Like this?
Yes
-Wait -Whoa!
Let’s take it out like this.
I did it! My victory!
No, you are being not fair!
I'm not! Make a weird face.
No, who would do like that?
If you have anti-cancer drugs,
you'll get better this time.
If I can, I want to take your place but it's impossible.
So, you have no choice but to work hard.
Right? Got it?
-Noro! -Howdy!
This girl... Talking informally...
Hello.
Moe, I have something to talk with the doctor so I'll borrow your dad and mom for a while.
Noro, accompany her.
-Then please. -Yes.
- Please. -Yes.
Alright Moe, come here.
'Cause I didn't know what would you like.
It was chosen by Mayo's son from our clinic.
Here, your hospitalization present.
Hospitalization present? Strange.
Here, the magic wand.
Melody Sword!
Childish?
-Thank you. -It's okay.
Hey
Dad and mom say "Work hard, Work hard"
But what should I work hard?
Miyajima Kazuyoshi, 57 years old.
Late stage pancreatic cancer.
Bureaucrat at Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
He shouldn't spend people's social security money unnecessarily.
So, he came back to Kanazawa hoping to pass away at home.
Thank you.
Dr. Sawako
I was careful not to look back.
When I came back home,
all the memories came back.
I wanted to experience the streets of Kanazawa.
Is that so?
After this, I have an appointment with my high school classmate.
Can I go out?
Of course
Please do what you want to do.
Thank you.
In Chinese, it is called Bao.
Mongolian houses are also shaped like this.
So, I...
I really like manju with this shape.
It's hot.
When spring comes, people move from the shade of the mountain to the flat land that endured the snowstorm.
They move to the middle of the meadows.
It's hard.
They carry bao and sheep together.
But everyone is happy.
'Cause they're always with family
Thank you.
It's for Tomoko Nakagawa.
Eh?
Since she's with us, she'll get the same bao.
Yum!
Ohhh, delicious!
But a little hot.
Very very.
This plastic model rail. My son loved it.
It was fun.
Actually I...
When I was young, I really wanted a plastic model rail.
But I have to study.
And I couldn't say that to my poor parents.
So, for my son
I wanted to let him play with it.
How was it with your classmate?
At first, I didn't even know the face.
Even when we used to be friends.
Conversation too.
Didn't even last an hour.
Of course, it's been 40 years.
Mr. Miyajima is in the condition that anything can happen quickly.
He has a resolution.
Where is the son?
He hasn't seen him since high school.
He left in protest against his bureaucrat parents.
He was working in a small factory in Tokyo.
My husband
He's never been angry but...
Also never praised.
He was a father who was just reading books in the study.
He never told his son to come back.
♪ On the sunny side
♪ At the station
♪ Strangers gather
♪ Memories and sorrows
♪ Holding the bouquet of flowers
Mr. Miyajima
Since I was young, he was already famous around here.
His son too.
Maybe is he suffering?
It's best to be together.
It's good to be with family at times like this but...
Right
It's Mahoroba Clinic.
Excuse me
I can't measure blood pressure.
I'll take it out.
I think the parting is coming.
Where's your son?
I can't contact him.
I just reach the answering machine.
Don't give up. It will be connected.
Daiki
Honey
Daiki
Honey, it's Daiki's plastic model rail.
Excuse me
Mr. Miyajima, it's your son!
Your son is here!
Dad! Dad!
Oh, he is smiling.
Honey, Daiki came back.
Dad
Hey, Dad
I used to play with the plastic model rail a lot, right?
I'm sorry about that time.
I didn't say "thank you" to you.
I'm working hard.
So, I'm okay.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
Dad
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
-Honey Honey -Dad! Dad!
Honey
Dad
Honey!
Dad
Honey
Noro
Thank you.
I
I've never said thank you to my dad.
Put strength on your hands.
You can take your time.
Yes, slowly. Slowly.
Oh, wait.
Please! Come here!
Mr. Shiraishi, hang in there.
Let's do..1..2
Clear the way and bring the wheelchair!
Wheelchair!
Mr. Shiraishi, hang in there.
Mr. Shiraishi! Mr. Shiraishi!
-Here. -Let's lift up.
-Blood pressure! -Yes!
Careful of the feet.
Call MET first aid!
Allodynia added to hypersensitivity?
It's called poststroke pain.
As you know,
It's a pain that happens when the brain malfunctions.
We can't control it.
How about morphine?
Sawako
Huh?
Take me to 'Shihori'
Eh?
Kanazawa-style Simmered Chicken and Tofu
With your mom, three of us went together before to eat "Jibuni", right?
Yes.
Yum!
It's delicious, Sawako.
It's delicious.
Sawako
What?
That promise
Please do it.
What?
My...
To end my life.
Father
I am a doctor.
Please.
I'll take it off.
Let's play this today.
Eh?
It's fallen down. The magic wand that you really like.
Huh?
I broke it.
Since dad and mom were fighting,
To the wall
Sorry
I see.
But it's okay, I'll fix it.
I'll fix it so it shines properly.
Okay?
Dr. Sawako
Why doesn't the hospital use new drugs for Moe?
Mrs. Wakabayashi
Moe received chemotherapy 3 times.
She endured it well.
But further treatment will rather shorten her life.
In a nutshell, she was abandoned by the hospital.
No, she's not.
Well, it means just that.
You hurt her body by meaningless treatments.
When you fail, you say 'it's like that'.
Isn't that too much?
Mrs. Wakabayashi
Melody Sword!
Play with the heart button!
Norocchi!
Oh, Tsubasa.
You fixed it, Moe's wand.
Yes
Hey
If you don't mind, why don't we eat together?
Today's monthly eating out day for me and Tsubasa.
Right?
Oh, okay.
Let's go.
Oh okay okay, let's go.
Thank you.
-Ramen. -Oh! it's here!
I'm sorry. Can I have a bowl?
Alright
Here's the bowl.
Do you want chashu?
-Yeah. -Shall we eat?
I'll put it in here.
You're being a pretty decent mom.
Although not my own.
Norocchi, it'd be nice if you take the national exam.
What? Why are you talking about it all of a sudden?
Aren't you just clumsy?
Excuse me. I even fixed the wand!
Then, you're not.
I think that kind of person is more suitable as a doctor.
Are you drunk?
No.
-Here. -Thank you.
Do you know why I became a nurse?
'Cause your sister was a nurse?
Yes, she used to work at Mahoroba.
It seemed difficult, but strangely it looked fun.
I also wanted to be a nurse and work with my sister.
Simple.
Then, she passed away 3 years ago.
Head-on collision with the car that crossed the center line.
I survived hugging Tsubasa in the back seat.
Why did I survive?
I kept crying while hugging Tsubasa.
Dr. Senkawa said 'Come to Mahoroba'.
"If you're going to cry, cry in Mahoroba"
I thought I can survive in Mahoroba.
I became a nurse but..
I can't get in the car because I'm scared.
But I want to keep riding with the family called Mahoroba.
Yes
Now there is Dr. Sawako too.
I respect her.
Even though she's completely different from Dr. Senkawa.
So, Norocchi
I think you should be a doctor too.
I want you to be.
Tsubasa, it's great that you were born healthy.
Let's take a sticker picture.
Eh?
Be careful!
Tsubasa!
Okay, okay, careful!
Is it this way?
Okay!
Not here! No? oh!
Oh, it's here. Tsubasa.
Here we go. Here we go.
Where?
Here!
Beep beep beep.
-Which one? -What's going on?
Which one? Which one is next?
What is it?
Let's be grandpa and grandma.
I'm just like this.
Hey! That's not it.
Wait. Wait!
I'll put makeup on Tsubasa. Look.
Look, he's gotten cuter.
You became like a girl!
You got cute!
Moe
Good morning.
Here, I fixed it as promised.
Melody Sword!
Awesome! Thanks!
You're welcome.
If it's Noro, can you take me there?
-Where? -To the ocean.
Ocean?
Mom and Dad always said no.
Why do you want to go to the ocean?
I have a favor to ask from the Sea God.
To let me be reborn as a mermaid next time.
Like the mermaid from this picture book?
Yes, and...
Huh?
What's the matter?
What happened to Moe?
Moe is fine.
So much better than usual.
Moe wants to go to the ocean.
That?
Please don't do that much for her.
Because
Wouldn't it be too much for her body?
Is it too much?
But if we think about it more, wouldn't there be a good way?
I want to make her wish come true.
What happened?
Moe said she wants to be a mermaid the next time she's born.
Said she has to hurry up and ask for a favor.
She said "If I don't hurry up and ask for a favor, it'll be late."
And said 'Cause I'm going to die soon.'
Mr. Wakabayashi
Why don't you think with us?
About the ocean.
Good morning
-Oh, morning. -Morning.
Where should I sit?
Huh? You're coming?
I am.
Aren't you scared of cars?
Don't push yourself too hard.
If you drive.
Then, passenger seat.
It's okay.
Moe. We're here!
Dad, mom, you know.
Huh?
I'm sorry I have cancer.
What are you talking about?
Cancer doesn't matter. You are you.
Cancer doesn't matter. You are Moe.
You're our precious Moe.
Wait
Moe!
It's the ocean!
It is the best ocean in the world!
Look! An ocean where you can become a mermaid!
Eh, that's not a swimsuit, right? It's just undies!
Oh no, the butt is exposed!
I want to go to the end of the ocean like this.
Take me, Dr. Noro.
Idiot! I am not a doctor!
Father?
Father
Father!
Why?
What are you doing!
Father!
It hurts! Do not touch!
-Father, no. -It hurts!
Father!
Ah, it hurts!
Father
I can't die anymore.
I can't even move my hands properly.
Free me from this pain.
You'll get a bit better with this injection.
That's not true at all!
Kill me now!
Please, Sawako.
Kill me.
Sawako. Thank you.
Hey
Huh?
Is it painful to die?
No.
It's not painful at all.
Is it scary?
It's not scary.
Can I die in a flash like magic?
It's fine.
Dr. Sawako will cast a special spell on you.
There's nothing to worry about.
Great.
From now on, Moe will spend most of her time sleeping.
But since she can hear the voices of the people around her.
Please talk to her a lot.
Something fun that you did together.
Jokes or laughing.
Arguments.
After that, tell about how you made up.
Today's weather.
The color of the sky.
Whatever it is.
And
Until the moment arrives,
Please feel Moe's warmth and breath.
That will be her joy.
Yes.
What's this? Is this an accident?
Dr. Sawako!
What?
Wait, Norocchi!
I knew it'd cost tens of millions for Moe's new drugs.
I sold my car and made a down payment.
We can use new drugs with this, right?
Dr. Sawako. It's not too late, right?
You'd try, right?
You'll save Moe, right?
Noro
Damn it!
Mr. Noro
Whenever Moe talks about you, she always smiles.
To this child, you are...a real doctor.
Thank you.
Thanks
Thank you
I've been thinking about it.
I have to be a person who's helpful to someone.
Dr. Sawako
I'm going to take the national exam again.
I
I want to work as a doctor at Mahoroba.
I think it's good.
I think it's very good.
Become a doctor.
Be sure to pass and become a doctor.
Even if it takes 5 or 10 years.
Become a doctor.
Yes.
I owe you a lot until now.
After passing the exam, I'll surely be back.
It will be very inconvenient in the meantime, but please wait.
You don't actually have to go to a prep school in Tokyo.
The next time we meet,
I can't call you Norocchi. You'll be Dr. Noro.
Too fast!
I'll also get my courage up.
I'll get a driver's license.
Is that so?
Then, let's promise to get our own licenses.
You're already a family here.
Don't forget that.
Yes
Break a leg!
Goodbye!
Yes
Here.
Ah, thank you.
Are you working overtime again today?
These days, every day...
Since the number of patients has increased.
If we don't organize properly,
When Noro comes back, he'll become a lost child.
Mayo, don't worry and go back first.
Tsubasa is waiting for you.
Then, I won't say no.
Goodbye.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
-Ah, welcome. -In the snow.
Come over here.
It looks kind of serious.
Master, I'm sorry, but can you give us a moment?
Alright, please feel free.
Since I don't think your news is a good one,
I'll first say good news.
I got a call from the clinic in Toyama.
Mr. Enohara
Stem cell therapy is starting to show good results.
Oh, right? Great!
Great.
What's your news?
It's about my father.
Ah, you said the pain control is not working well.
Yes, these days...
He said "My bones are so tight." "They are breaking."
He keeps crying.
Eh!
I can't imagine the pain.
We tried all kinds of treatments with the doctors.
It's useless.
He told me to relieve from his pain.
Is there any breakthrough treatment?
Not treatment but "Eternal relief".
Eternal?
Eh?
Ah...
I'm praying what I thought is wrong but...
The "relief" you're saying is...
Is it Euthanasia?
In a chain of diseases that come like dominoes,
My father
I think he was only thinking about how to end his life.
But now...
He cannot commit suicide.
Dr. Senkawa
Whose is my father's life?
To make my father's wish come true,
Is it a crime?
In this country, Euthanasia is a crime.
That's for sure.
But this is...
After talking with my father for days,
It's the conclusion that I barely reached.
I'm sorry.
Wouldn't you like to think a little more together?
Dr. Sawako
Mayo
Excuse me.
I had a bad feeling.
Maybe, you...
Aren't you going to leave Mahoroba?
Sorry
I knew it.
Can you tell me why?
Is it to nurse your father?
If then, please let me help.
Thank you.
But this is my problem.
I
I'm losing my family again, right?
It isn't that.
Mayo
Please make a better family by yourself.
Noro will definitely come back.
Make a new Mahoroba with them.
Okay?
Dr. Sawako
Please forgive me.
My own life
At least
I want to decide for my own life.
Hurry up.
Won't you let me go to your mom's side?
Father
Sawako!
Father!
-Father -Yes!
-I'm back. -Welcome back.
♪ Rain rain
♪ Mom
♪ I'm glad she came with an umbrella
Father
It's beautiful.
Yes
It's a beautiful morning.
