As soon as the other doctors leave,Miles spots a Turkish woman crying and a kid.The kid approaches his mom and asks for his dad's whereabouts,the woman goes on crying.
It's 1986 Germany, Eva Heinemann,Miles's fiancée and the Director's daughter surprises him his sleep. Eva gives him a kiss on the forehead to wake him uo and jokes about how the prince is supposed to wake up the princess, not the other way around. He then turns around facing the TV and it is showing a report on the Liebert's escape from East Germany. The Liebert are composed of the father, the mother and twins. Eva notices that her father, Dr. Udo Heinemann is holding a press conference on TV about F. Rosenbach, an opera singer on whom Miles has operated on and saved from death.Miles feels a little down that Udo is taking all the credit to himself, but Eva asserts that it is only because he has Miles on his team.He later regrets this and rememebers that it is only because of Udo that he can be working in Germany since it was him that brought him to Japan. Eva assures him that if he sticks with her father he will definately eventually become Chief of Surgery and then Chief Director.
Dr.Miles is operating next to Dr. Becker, a great friend of his, who later compliments him as well. But Dr. Becker makes Miles realize that even though his future seems as bright as ever, he is being used by the director to gain appraise and that hospitals, are like any other institution, which are ruled by politics and money.
Miles walks past the turkish lady and her son as she looks at him hatefully. Miles notices something disturbs the woman and stops to ask: "May I help you?" She asks if he is Dr. Miles , which he asserts. She demands he gives her back his husband while Miles looks buffled. The woman desperately screams at him telling him that her husband was in a construction accident arriving first and needed help and he was going to operate on him but later they reprogrammed his schedule to operate on F. Rosenbach (the opera singer), which was a much interesting patient. The mother and the kid cry and demand him to "Bring back" her husband.
He is then sitting in a classy restaurant with Eva, clearly shaken by what had just happened. Eva goes on and on about a dress she bought while he is overwhelmed by his encounter with the Turkish woman. Eva notices he's not listening her and asks if something happened. He says he checked the records and Dr. Becker was the surgeon in the Turkish man operation and if he had operated he could've saved the man. He tries to convince himself that he is not responsible because he was just following orders from the director. He asks Eva if he is guilty and she says he's not and that: "After all, people's lives aren't created equal.", which clearly shocks Miles.
