TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room (TOKYO MER 〜走る緊急救命室〜)

TOKYO MER is a medical organization under direct control of the Governor of Tokyo.

They have only one mission. They must do all they can to prevent death.

We've picked up a distress call...

We can't save some of these lives by waiting around.

- Break them up. -Kitami is the key to that team.

...we should avoid separating at all costs.

I believe in you and everybody else.

The other members are useless on their own.

I believe everyone is capable of doing something.

I tried to save everyone. Like you...

Anisocoria is present.

We need to get him to the ER car...

Protecting the patient in the operation room is the anesthesiologist's job.

We need you going forward, Vice Chief!

They have to become even more capable.

There are sure to be far more challenging incidents ahead.

Who is watching you, Chief Kitami?

Kitami is being watched?

Yes.

Not on my orders.

So who is it?

If even you haven't heard about this, then perhaps it's a private organization?

At any rate, it's obvious that Kitami has some skeletons in his closet.

Perhaps

it could have something to do with Chief Kitami's one-year gap.

TOKYO KAIHIN HOSPITAL

What?

So you're living with your family again?

Yes, I came to work from home today.

That's great, Dr. Fuyuki!

Even when I was living away,

my wife was always watching stuff about MER on the news.

She said, "You must be worn out, so why not come home?"

-So that's what happened. -Yes.

Ah, this is from my family. It's not much, but...

-You shouldn't have! -No, please.

And a card.

-Please, read it. -You sure?

Sota!

Well, it's a little embarrassing.

-Thank you so much. -Of course.

-Um, Chief Kitami... -Yes?

If you ever need help, you can always talk to me.

What?

I want to repay this team's kindness.

Plus, at the end of the day,

I'm the Vice Chief of MER.

VICE CHIEF

You're right.

-We're counting on you! -You have my devotion.

And mine.

Relay from the Tokyo Metropolitan Crisis Management Office.

Multiple patients with dizziness, nausea, and impaired consciousness

at a cleaning company in Edogawa Ward, Shinozakimachi District Nine.

Cause unknown.

Possibility of an increase in casualties.

This is certified as a preventive medical case.

Requesting dispatch of Tokyo MER.

MER understands. Dispatching now.

What should we do? It's past shift time. We won't be able to gather everyone.

We'll go alone.

If it's only dizziness and nausea,

we might just need to assist with transportation.

I'll make a decision at the scene if it looks like we need support.

-All right. -We'll take TO2. Bring only what we need.

Understood. I'll bring IVs and medicine.

Thank you.

Hello!

I saw the dispatch notification. Could it be mass food poisoning?

Minh, are you all right to come?

I was on duty anyway. I'm coming too.

Great. All right, let's hurry.

-Okay. -Okay.

What is it?

An MER dispatch request.

Dizziness, nausea. Several patients?

Probably just food poisoning or something. Don't bother with it.

Head to the scene right away.

I have a message for you from Secretary Amanuma.

Make sure MER follows police instructions on this dispatch.

Secretary Amanuma?

I wouldn't think this is a case the police would be involved in.

That means there's more to this than food poisoning.

The scene is a building owned by a cleaning company.

It appears that several foreign workers in the basement

called with complaints of feeling unwell.

There's a confirmed number of four casualties. All appear to be conscious.

MER understands.

We'll probably just have to assist with transportation.

Right.

I've received a video from the scene.

What?

What is it?

There seems to be a lot of police.

Fuyuki from MER here.

Why have so many police shown up for just four ill people?

We don't know.

Judging by the video, the place is full of suits from the Central Government.

There's something strange about this case. Don't let your guard down.

MER understands. We're arriving at the scene now.

It's like a crime scene or something.

-Let's go. -All right.

I'm telling you. My workers have simply kicked up a fuss over nothing.

-Hello! We're from MER. -Please, it's fine! You can leave now!

Do you understand Japanese?

Yes? How are you feeling? Are you in pain?

What is this all of a sudden?

JCS 10. Light drowsiness apparent.

Hypersalivation observed as well.

-Measure saturation. -Okay.

I told you, it's food poisoning or something. Stop making a huge fuss!

And you are?

My name is Yanaka, and I happen to be the president of this company.

Saturation 90.

Eighty-seven here. It's very poor.

Let's administer oxygen right away.

Got it. Minh, if you would.

-Here. -Mr. Yanaka,

your employees seem to be in pretty bad shape here.

And what? What's it got to do with me?

Are there any other employees here?

No. These guys just happened to be staying late today.

Is that so?

Karuna...

Never mind...

Hurry up and go home already!

I can't allow that.

We don't know what caused this, so we'll need to test them at the hospital.

Fine!

Then get rid of them already!

-Dr. Fuyuki, backboard, please. -On it.

-We'll start with this man. -Okay.

I'll perform a log roll.

Excuse me, you can't transport them yet.

What's the problem?

One, two, three.

We've had instructions not to move or interact with the foreign workers.

Their conditions are volatile. We can't just leave them.

However, until we get permission, there's nothing we can do...

-Let's lift him. -Okay.

Ready? One, two, three--

Authority lies with the police at the scene.

We can't have you taking liberties.

Who cares about authority when it comes to saving lives?

What's that?

Do as they say.

There's a larger power behind this.

We ought to play along, for MER's sake too.

-Full-body seizure! -Dr. Fuyuki, monitor!

-Okay! -Minh, IV, please.

Yes.

Can't assess blood pressure or consciousness. Saturation 79.

Respiration above 30.

-Minh, the Ambu bag and tracheal tube. -Okay.

Dr. Fuyuki, prepare two vials of diazepam and 1000 mg of Levetiracetam.

-Stop -Got it!

Please refrain from excessive contact!

Dr. Otowa.

I'll provide assisted ventilation with the Ambu bag.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Welcome.

Word from the Prime Minister's Office?

Secretary Amanuma is in charge as the Prime Minister is overseas.

We believe the claim of responsibility is fake.

And the gas outbreak?

We're currently analyzing it.

Welcome!

-Welcome. -Welcome.

What about the foreign workers and the president of the cleaning company?

They're keeping silent, but we think they will talk after interrogation.

"LASTING PEACE 9" HAVE CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CRIME.

Has anyone had contact with LP9 before?

He's treating patients right now.

Treating patients?

I thought I told you not to take them to the hospital.

It's MER. Our man has shown up.

Saturation 98. Vital signs are stable for now.

His condition is stable,

but we can't treat him properly until we know what caused this.

Yanaka, do you have any idea what caused this?

No idea.

They probably ate something that had gone bad!

I wouldn't waste your time asking them.

Right?

He's hiding something.

Yes.

Excuse me...

Yes?

Hand that man over to us.

We're treating him now.

-I don't care. -I can't authorize it.

I make the decisions,

Kota Kitami.

How do you know his name?

Reports from an ambulance near the scene.

They've confirmed the sound of an explosion!

The video is back up.

What happened?

Check the extent of the damage!

Be sure to feed a false story to the residents.
