"Um I was moved." "When you all raised your hands, I was very..." "Thank you for working with me." "Why the long face?" "I'm worried." "It's hard when you think how many people... are still going to die." "One day, if the world goes back to what it was I'll come to you." "You didn't say that then." "Bye." "Eiko don't push yourself." "You do that sometimes." "I'll be waiting." "Come to me." "I promise." "It's snowing." "You're right." "Send Mommy a magic letter." "Mommy, there's snow falling down from the sky." "OK..." "The first snow I've ever seen." "Doctor!" "Nurse Mita's collapsed!" "Would it be possible to visit her?" "All right." "Meals will be served at the tent in the schoolyard." "Hurry it up!" "Dr Kobayashi!" "We've been waiting for you." "I'm glad you're here." "I'm sorry." "I seem to have been infected with "blame"." "I shouldn't be infectious yet." "I'll handle the seriously ill patients." "But..." "There are things I can do." "Akane!" "Akane!" "Hey!" "Wake up!" "Don't... you'll get sick." "I told you not to come, didn't I?" "I'm sorry." "I abandoned you." "I didn't care if I lived or not." "Don't think that!" "You can't die!" "Akane!" "Oxygen..." "Ready for transfusion." "Laryngoscope." "Pressure 75 over 40." "Dopamine, 10." "Extract." "Excuse me." "Daddy Mommy hasn't answered." "I know." "Akane!" "No!" "You can't come in here!" "Akane!" "Pulse isn't returning." "Add 4 units MAP, and 2 ampoules of Meylon for acidosis." "Mrs Mita..." "She's fighting for her life." "Do your best for her." "Meylon, 2 ampoules." "This one's critical!" "She's yours." "Don't lose her!" "Transferring." "1, 2, 3!" "Doctor!" "Come on, Takako!" "Don't die!" "She's a nurse here." "We haven't seen her in weeks!" "She's all alone now!" "At least let us see her!" "Please!" "Let us in!" "All right." "Wait here while I check." "Oxygen up to 6 liters." "Echo result?" "I'll check." "This girl?" "101 over 52 and rising." "She's stabilizing." "Carry on." "It's from Mommy!" "Dear Mai..." "When there's enough snow, let's all build a snowman." "Mommy loves you." "What's wrong, Daddy?" "Don't cry..." "How's Akane Kamikura?" "She's stable right now." "Great!" "(10 million infected equal... ) (to the population of Tokyo.)" ""More than 3 million dead."" "Now you're cleaned up." "Are you all right?" "Gauze." "Solulact open." "Call that boy." "What?" "!" "I don't want her to die alone." "Wake up!" "Come with me." "There's only a slim chance it will work." "And it could kill you." "It's too risky." "I can't approve it." "If it proves effective, it could save thousands." "A slim chance is better than none." "Dr Tatebayashi!" "Akane..." "Akane!" "It's OK!" "Reservoir mask. 3ml of Dormicum!" "Stand back." "Check pulse!" "Doctor, a video call from Nagano." "I'm busy!" "I'll hook it up." "Dormicum." "Dr Matsuoka!" "Tsuyoshi I went and got sick." "Doesn't look good, huh?" "I feel stupid." "Forget about that now!" "I'm going to try a different treatment." "If it works use it there." "In Africa, when there was an Ebola outbreak we transfused blood from people who'd survived." "It saved some patients." "It's not tested and proven." "The European doctors were all against using it." "But the doctors from Zaire pushed for it." "It saved five out of eight." "There was no other option." "They had to save their colleagues no matter what." "RBC, 2 units." "Call Endoscopy if she keeps coughing blood." "For my last shot I'm going to try it." ""Last"?" "Don't say that!" "Instead of fighting with medicine or vaccine I'm going to try something with the blood we all share." "Maybe the virus will agree to that." "Serum prepared." "Is that all you called to say?" "Tsuyoshi... that promise you made forget it." "Doctor!" "Please!" "Save her!" "Please!" "Please!" "Settle down, kid!" "Find a "blame" survivor whose blood matches hers." "You're trying it?" "Hurry!" "It might work if we act now." "I'll take responsibility!" "Oh, sure." "They'll fire me, too." "So I risk my job, too." "Thank you!" "Let's see that." "Feeling OK?" "Yes." "Thank you, Asami." "Not at all." "Five minutes since transfusion." "Akane!" "Doctor!" "Get a mask!" "Solu-Cortef 300 mg, Cercine 1 ampoule, Dopamine 7." "Hold her." "Akane!" "Hang in there!" "Oxygen, 3 liters." "Pulse in the 30s!" "Atropine Sulfate, 1 amp." "Dopamine to 5." "Akane!" "Akane!" "Bosmin!" "Don't give up on her!" "Blood pressure falling!" "Oxygen up to 9 liters." "9 liters!" "Again!" "Clear!" "Pulse is coming back!" "Akane!" "The treatment worked!" "Good!" "Monitor her blood pressure." "Please be in time!" "I was afraid you hadn't changed since medical school at all." "I was relieved you hadn't, to tell you the truth." "I've changed." "I'm coming to you, aren't I?" "Aw, shit!" "This way." "VF." "Charged!" "Clear!" "Arrest." "Don't stop!" "Let me!" "Eiko!" "Can you hear me?" "We saved her!" "We have a pulse!" "Eiko!" "I loved that face..." "No." "Leave it on." "Kobayashi..." "That's all for me today." "I'd like to introduce you to someone." "I'm Eiko Kobayashi." "I'll be assisting you this year." "How do you do." "Dr Kobayashi?" "What made you decide to be a doctor?" "When I was in high school, my younger brother developed a brain tumor." "The day before he died, he said to me Become a doctor and tell people like me there will be a tomorrow." "Even if the world ends tomorrow, plant an apple tree today." "He liked that line." "Why?" "Why did I forget that?" "Eiko..." "You planted an apple tree." "I'm sorry I was so rude in class just now." ""How do we kill it?"" "(After six months, a vaccine... ) (... brings 'blame' under control.)" "(12 July: 3.95 million infected)" "(1. 12 million dead)" "Dear Dr Matsuoka..." "Thanks to all of you, the city has come back to life." "Although Dr Kobayashi's treatment saved a lot of people we're told they're still investigating it." "But I think there is a direct connection between her courage and all of our lives." "I am grateful to all of you." "Is it cold up in Hokkaido?" "It must be hard working in a town that had no doctor." "Please don't become discouraged." "When I get depressed I remember what you told me." "Thank you very much." "Are you taking your medicine?" "Even if the world ends tomorrow plant an apple tree today."
