Original subtitles

Oh my goodness.

Hold on, okay?

Hang in there.

I don't feel a pulse.

Please help him, Doctor.

A crewman can't do anything without his hand.

Do what you can to save it, please.

ANTISEPTIC

-Gosh, stop filming. -Producer.

Hold tight. Keep him still.

Doctor...

Oh my gosh.

Have you lost your mind? You darned witch!

-Calm down. -I'll kill you!

-Calm down. -Let go of me.

Let go! Let go of me!

I'll kill you!

Let go. Let me go!

Don't you want to save his arm?

What do you mean?

She already chopped it off!

To put it back on!

Put it...

back on?

The hand must be amputated to save his arm.

Shouldn't keeping it on make the process smoother?

Keeping it on stops the blood supply, and necrosis begins.

That's when it begins to rot quickly.

We have no way to reconnect rotten tissue.

It starts to rot?

Emergency patient aboard.

We need you here immediately.

I repeat.

Emergency patient aboard.

What will happen to my arm?

Will I become disabled?

It's not entirely unlikely.

Doctor.

The bed in the operating room is uncomfortable,

we'll give you IV fluids somewhere more comfortable.

What good are IV fluids...

I'm going to end up disabled anyway.

You won't be disabled.

That's why we're taking emergency measures.

Right, Doctor?

It was a clean cut.

You won't become disabled

if you get the surgery on time.

You heard her.

How long? How long do I have?

Six hours.

You need to get surgery within six hours.

Don't worry. It won't take long.

The EMS or Coast Guard will be here by then.

They will. Definitely.

Hang in there.

What? You can't approach?

What do we do then? Let him die?

I'll kill you the next time I'm on land.

The Coast Guard can't make it?

Look at the waves. It's impossible.

No EMS helicopter and no Coast Guard.

What'll happen to Jeong-ho now?

What do you think?

If they can't come to us, we'll go to them.

-What? -Let go.

But...

This isn't working.

I don't think we can go. We can't.

What? We can't go?

-We must. -Move.

-We must go. -Hey.

If we keep going, the ship will capsize!

We're all going to die!

What about Jeong-ho then?

Are you going to make him live with one arm?

"One arm"?

That won't happen.

What will you do then?

He can get an operation on the hospital ship.

Are you okay?

Mr. Chu.

What's going on here?

We're here to make a documentary, not a blockbuster...

Oh dear.

Hang in there. It'll get better once we dock.

I'd like to ask you something.

What?

-Do what? -A replantation surgery.

Reconnect Jeong-ho's hand.

It's impossible.

Why so?

You saved two people as soon as you joined us.

That was my expert field.

I only specialize in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.

Orthopedics isn't my field.

Don't just say that, and do something.

Surely you know that of all the people on board,

only you are capable of doing something. You know that.

I know you're desperate, but I can't do it.

Dr. Song.

I haven't seen an orthopedic surgery since I was an intern.

On top of that, a hand replantation is a difficult operation.

Only veteran orthopedic surgeons attempt it.

Then get help from an orthopedic surgeon.

You must know of one at least.

I am Kim Su-gwon, the director of this hospital.

I'm the director, but I'm also an orthopedic specialist.

I'm also a surgeon.

You don't?

Shall I let you know of one then?

There's Director Kim Su-gwon of Geoje Jeil Hospital.

He's an orthopedic surgeon.

And a replantation expert.

You know that. So why hesitate?

Why are you stalling?

What difference does it make?

We can't bring Director Kim to the hospital ship right now.

Can't you do something with him over the phone?

There's a broadcasting crew.

-They can help figure out-- -That's nonsense.

Can't we at least try first before deciding if it's nonsense?

It could endanger the patient.

And I don't take dangerous risks.

Aren't you just embarrassed to ask for help?

Mr. Chu.

How could the great Dr. Song fear taking a risk?

That's total nonsense.

You don't fear taking a risk.

You're just too embarrassed to ask Director Kim for help.

You were wrongly fired by him,

so you don't want to ask for a favor.

Am I wrong? Answer me.

Between your pride and the patient's safety,

what should come first?

Doctor.

Can't you do it?

Can't you?

I'm the sole breadwinner of my family.

We're expecting a baby.

I want to hold...

my baby with my own arms.

Doctor.

I'm sorry.

It looks like Dr. Song isn't going to operate.

That's great.

How is that great?

She was all about cutting people open.

Why won't she help

when one of our own is down?

Stick to one tune.

You're the one who wanted her off the ship,

saying she's taking cover here after causing a medical accident.

I just feel sorry for Jeong-ho. He still has time.

We should do whatever we can.

That's all.

You have a point.

Can't she just do it?

Imagine living without a hand.

And who will take the blame if he dies trying to get his hand back?

Will you?

Answer me.

Between your pride and the patient's safety,

what should come first?

You got kicked out after causing trouble.

It was a huge deal too.

Dr. Song.

Do you want to persuade me too, Dr. Kwak?

Why should I?

You can't do what you can't do.

If there was something you could do, you would've done it

before we even asked.

You showed us that already, so--

No.

You're wrong.

-Dr. Song? -I don't know what you're thinking,

but you're wrong.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

-Good job. -You too, Doctor.

Go on.

-Hello? -It's Song Eun-jae, Director.

Do we have any more to discuss?

Help me.

If this is about the ER shift--

This is not about that.

I just need your help

to save a patient.

Save a patient?

A man lost his hand,

and our ship is completely isolated at sea.

If I don't do anything, the man will be crippled.

But

if you help, I can prevent that.

Please, Doctor.

Please help us.

Is the cut clean?

-Relatively so. -Good. Let's give it a try.

Thank you. Thank you very much, Doctor.

Let's do the operation.

-Pardon? -Doctor?

-Please get the patient ready right away. -Yes, Doctor.

Please call the production crew, Mr. Chu.

Dr. Kwak will assist me as soon as he's under anesthesia

So you need to monitor the patient.

-Can you do it? -Yes.

What should I do, Doctor?

Follow me.

We'll start Kang Jeong-ho's replantation operation.

Thank you for your help, Doctor.

The resolution must be as high as possible.

We're using broadcasting equipment, so there won't be any resolution issues.

The server connection will be stable too.

All right.

Let's start.

Thank you, Doctor.

Remove the soft tissue first.

Then start fixating the bones.

Yes, Doctor. Scalpel.

WHAT KIND OF LIVE STREAM IS THIS? IS THIS A REAL SURGERY?

ARE THEY REALLY ON A BOAT? THAT'S INSANE

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS THAT'S SO AWESOME

-Professor. -What is it?

There's something strange being broadcast on the Internet.

Are you equipped with an orthopedic drill and Kirschner wire

that are needed for fixating the bones?

We are not.

How do they plan to do this without those basic tools?

Drill.

Fortunately, the bone is fractured diagonally, so I will drill a hole

and fixate it with a wire.

Right. That would work.

It appears she has fixated it.

Many people must be watching. It's already on the top 10 search list.

What will happen if Dr. Song succeeds?

It's only the start.

She hasn't seen an orthopedic surgery since she was an intern.

How can she succeed?

There's a problem, Doctor.

The blood vessel is too short.

Don't worry.

Use a superficial vein from his upper arm.

You can transplant it.

You can do it, Dr. Song. Stay strong.

Don't be nervous.

Okay. What should I do next?

Now, you must relocate the knee joint.

You must succeed in one go to reduce the pain.

Bite down on this.

Be bold.

-One. -Two.

Three.

Hang in there. It's okay.

Be careful.

Jae-min!

Father.

-I'm okay. -Goodness.

Let me take a look.

You're quite talented.

That was excellent.

You're good enough to run the hospital.

Father.

All right. Let's go.

You did a good job, Dr. Song.

I told you there wouldn't be a problem.

Let's see the circulatory anastomosis.

CONNECTION OF BLOOD VESSELS

It looks good.

I think you can close him up now.

Yes, Doctor.

How long did it take?

It's been a little over an hour.

My goodness.

Sweat.

Let's wake up the patient.

Mr. Kang.

Can you hear me?

Answer me if you can.

Yes.

Can you move your hand?

He moved it.

Good job.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you, Dr. Song.

Doctor.

-Yes! -We did it.

Jeong-ho is well. We reattached his hand.

Really? Is that true?

Goodness, she's impressive.

Do you still

want to fire Dr. Song?

What are you talking about? I never did.

Dr. Song is

such an important person.

She is a gem on our hospital ship.

Goodness.

-Song Eun-jae! -Song Eun-jae!

-Song Eun-jae! -Good job.

-Song Eun-jae! -Song Eun-jae!

Let's have a drink.

This is a special occasion. We should drink on a day like this.

Don't you think so?

Cheers.

Good morning, Dr. Song Eun-jae.

All right. It's a good morning, indeed.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

A little bit to the left.

Yes.

It looks good.

Nicely done, Dr. Song.

It's good. It looks great.

Thank you.

Please keep up the good work here as well.

I've already talked to the ER department.

Start working here tomorrow.

No matter what you did in the past,

you deserve to get

what you want with that kind of ability.

I look forward to working with you.

I will do my best.

-She's coming out. -There she is.

Dr. Song Eun-jae, your surgery last night was impressive.

How do you feel?

I hope the patient will recover without any problems.

What made you decide to work on a hospital ship?

As far as we know,

only male doctors work on it as a form of alternative military service.

Do you have a special reason for boarding the hospital ship?

Where did you work before transferring to the hospital ship?

I worked at Seoul Daehan Hospital.

That's one of the five major hospitals in our country.

Why would you transfer to the hospital ship?

She won't drop the bomb, will she?

Did she really cause a serious problem or something?

What did she do to get herself fired

when she is such a skilled doctor?

Why are you all looking at me...

Who else would we look at? You started the rumor.

To be honest,

I don't know much either.

-You don't know? -Are you saying you lied?

I didn't lie.

-I heard it from a friend. -Who?

The secretary of Jeil Hospital's director. She definitely heard

that Dr. Song got fired because she caused trouble.

What kind of trouble?

I don't know that.

So you just assumed

that it was medical malpractice?

What do you mean?

Are you saying it wasn't medical malpractice?

Gosh, this is so frustrating.

What is it then? Tell us already.

-Come on. Spill already. -Mr. Chu.

Dr. Song made me promise

not to tell anyone.

My goodness.

ONE MONTH AGO

It dropped to a much lower number.

He is urinating better too.

Dr. Song?

Why are you back already?

Not even a day has passed since your mother's funeral.

Don't you know you can take

more days off when you lose a family member?

You still have four more days. Besides,

today is Saturday.

Call the ER.

Tell them I'll take an emergency surgery.

I can't do that.

I can only assume how you must be feeling right now,

but this isn't right. It's not.

So please go home.

Go home, get enough sleep, and...

We have a situation, Doctor.

What happened?

She got a laparoscopic surgery for her stomach cancer three days ago.

Until last night, she only showed signs of a mild fever,

but she now has a high fever and severe chest pain.

Code blue.

Get her family out of here.

Charge to 200.

Move.

Inject one milliliter of epinephrine.

Charge to 300.

Charge to 360. Clear.

Who directed her surgery? Was it Dr. Myeong Se-jung?

No, it was Chief Kim.

Get a CT scan first, and run other tests as quickly as possible.

Yes, Doctor.

Where are you taking my mom?

To the examination room.

We want to check what's making her sick.

Why? Is she sick again?

Is she

sicker than me now?

We don't know that yet.

But we can find out after we run some more tests.

You will...

cure her, right?

I'll try my best.

Doctor, this is...

It's mediastinitis as I expected.

Maybe there was a mistake during the surgery?

Don't make rash assumptions, and book an operating room.

Yes, Doctor.

Hello, this is Kim Do-hun.

Hello, Dr. Song.

Did your mother's funeral end well?

We have a problem, Chief.

You need to come to the hospital right now.

Look, it's Saturday. What's the problem?

You operated on Ms. Kim Hae-mi.

I think there was a mistake during the surgery.

What?

Don't be ridiculous.

-Where is Chief Kim? -He hasn't arrived yet.

We can't wait anymore.

Let's do this on our own.

-What's going on? -It looks like mediastinitis

-caused by cardiac perforation. -What are you trying to say?

Are you saying I made a mistake during this simple surgery?

Why don't we open her up and check?

If we waste more time,

it can put the patient in danger.

Chief Kim.

Scalpel.

What do we do? He clearly messed up during surgery.

Should I call a cardiothoracic surgeon?

We will call a cardiothoracic surgeon, Doctor.

-Dr. Kim. -Yes?

I got it.

Time of death is 3:43 p.m.

How did it go, Doctor?

We did our best, but she died during surgery.

What?

She what?

You said it was a simple operation.

You said she could go home tomorrow.

So how...

Why did she...

Her complications had weakened her, and she didn't survive the surgery.

It's a pity. Goodbye.

But Doctor...

Grandma. What's wrong?

What happened to Mom?

Come in.

I have something to say.

Patient Kim Hae-mi--

She died of complications. Don't challenge me.

Her cause of death wasn't just because of a complication.

I'm sure you know that very well, Chief Kim.

So what?

What do you want me to do?

I believe you should apologize to her family

and offer an appropriate compensation if needed.

What?

Song Eun-jae.

Why are you suddenly so emotional?

It's a pity that your mother died. It's understandable.

The sudden loss of a loved one can change how you see patients.

I see why you're shaken.

But you need to get your head together. You have a goal to achieve.

-But-- -I have emotions too.

I don't like doing this.

But we can't let our emotions ruin things.

Should we go around saying that Chief Kim Do-hun killed a patient

during a simple operation because his hand slipped?

What will we get from that?

-Professor. -It won't bring the patient back to life.

But...

if you turn a blind eye,

we can save many more lives.

And of course,

your position will be much firmer.

Keep quiet and move on.

That's best for you too.

Song Eun-jae.

You need to take over my spot.

Don't you?

Keep quiet and move on.

That's best for you too.

Song Eun-jae.

You need to take over my spot.

Ever since

she was born,

her lungs were very weak.

Even so,

my daughter was

strong and cheerful.

Even when she heard

that her daughter wouldn't

live past the age of ten no matter how hard she tries,

she never wailed.

Even when her husband ran off

because he couldn't handle caring for a sick child,

she didn't even waver.

She became even stronger.

She was...

determined to protect her child.

But

how did this happen?

How?

How?

It was all so sudden.

How could she die

before her daughter?

Ma'am.

I have something to tell you.

You lunatic.

Song Eun-jae,

what have you done?

I merely told her mother the truth.

What?

I will never disobey you.

I'll continue to operate in your stead

whenever you want me to.

I don't care if I don't receive credit for anything,

but I can't deceive the family of a patient.

Because...

from that moment on,

I'm no longer a doctor.

-Hey, Song Eun-jae! -There's no other way to explain it.

Why didn't I know until it was too late?

Why didn't I do something before the patient died on me?

Just why did it end up that way?

Only a doctor can

explain those things.

A doctor?

Do you like playing doctor?

How could a doctor not think about her colleague

and throw her professor under the bus like that?

Get out.

I don't need you here.

I don't need someone arrogant like you. Leave.

Get out of here!

Thanks to her,

the patient's family was compensated.

But...

Dr. Song's path to becoming associate professor was taken away.

Not all doctors are like that,

but some consider damaging a colleague's reputation

much more grievous

than harming a patient.

I'll ask you again.

Is there a reason you left Seoul Daehan Hospital to board a hospital ship?

Will Dr. Song actually reveal the truth?

There is

no specific reason.

A doctor can go anywhere

to treat patients who need help.

What will you do from now on?

Will you keep working on the hospital ship?

No. I should return.

I will most definitely

return

to where I came from.

Why is she so confident?

There's nothing she can do.

She can never come back here.

How discouraging.

She's leaving so soon after she joined.

Why are you discouraged? That was her plan all along.

Her plan?

To make her comeback with pride,

she chose a place that would get her attention.

Nothing beats a hospital ship if you want to be noticed.

You saw what happened today.

Just because she came here, they made it seem like a woman had joined the military.

She can go back if she gets noticed?

I don't exactly understand the correlation.

The bigger the hospital is these days, the more they care about profit.

To make money, they need a popular doctor

more than a skilled one.

There's only one way a traitor can go back.

They must prove that they can bring in money?

It is the harmful effect of neoliberalism.

Why are you always so pessimistic?

Why else would she show off on her first day?

It was an emergency. The patient--

She's a doctor. Of course she opened him up to cure him.

She's no psychopath.

She even bought all that equipment without the captain's permission.

Wasn't that fortunate?

Without them, Jeong-ho would be crippled.

And now, we're in even more danger.

What are you saying?

We speak the same language, yet I still don't understand.

Can you put it simply?

She didn't operate for the patient.

She operated on people to guarantee a safe passage home.

She pulled off an orthopedic surgery,

which wasn't even her field of expertise.

On a lowly hospital ship, no less.

With outdated equipment.

That'll make anyone overly confident.

Now what would she do next?

She would take on bigger

and more dangerous challenges.

-Aren't you going too far ahead? -She got lucky so far.

But pretty soon, we'll hear cries on the ship.

Hey.

Why are you so negative--

Let's not argue among ourselves. Let's ask her point-blank.

She's here.

Dr. Song.

Will you really go back?

-Yes. -Why?

Won't you go back?

Will you never be discharged

and serve on the hospital ship forever?

What?

Is that what she meant?

-Where are you going? -I have plans.

What about our team dinner?

A team dinner?

It's the captain's treat.

-Yes. -What?

We couldn't even throw you a welcome party because we were so busy.

And we should also thank you for fixing Jeong-ho's hand.

Look who came to visit.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-Oh dear. -Oh my.

What brings you here?

I caught a nice one.

This is a rare catch. Look at this.

You saved my grandson's life.

I could give you anything.

You looked so pretty on TV.

You need to eat more than anyone, Doctor.

Thank you.

-Nurse Pyo, look at this. -Goodness.

Gosh, I wish you could stay and join us.

I can't join you.

I haven't been on the mainland in a while, so I have a lot to do.

I have to see my grandson too.

All right. Take care then.

I will.

Go back inside.

I will.

Gosh, he's so kind.

It looks like we'll get to feast on some fresh sashimi

for the first time in a while.

This is exciting.

I can't wait.

Why are you standing there?

-We can't have sashimi. -Why not?

Everyone who knows how to slice fish is drunk.

They've been drinking to celebrate Jeong-ho's surgery.

They could barely talk straight on the phone.

How about we just cook spicy fish stew?

-What? -No way.

That's just disrespectful.

We need to do this fish justice.

Then what should we do? There are no other options.

We aren't entirely out of options.

Look at her wield that blade.

She's incredibly good.

Well then, shall we all have a drink?

We have to work tomorrow, so take one of these first.

-When did you get these? -My goodness.

HANGOVER CURE

You too.

All right. Now, let's all get down

to some serious drinking business.

-Okay. -Let's begin.

-Take a glass each. -Go on.

-Come on now. -Here.

-Ready? -Ready?

-Cheers. -Cheers.

For the hospital ship.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Drink up. -Drink up.

-Come on. -They can all drink.

Mr. Chu, you're a horrible drunk.

-Slow down, Mr. Chu. -What?

-I'm fine. -I'm on a roll.

-Come on. -Hey.

-Why won't anyone fill my glass? -That's right. Sorry.

I don't like having to pause.

-Shall we drink? -You bet.

Let's drink.

Come on, Doctor. Drink.

-Pour him one. -Thanks.

-Here. -This is mine.

I'm ready for another one.

-Don't forget about me. -All right.

-Here. -Another one?

-Why aren't you drinking? -Come on.

-You troublemaker. -Can someone feed me?

Gosh, I'm getting drunk. Please pour me another one.

-You're completely hammered. -I want more soju.

Nurse Yoo, you should sing for us.

-Yes. -What are you doing?

Why do you drink

as if your life is on the line?

Are you a heavy drinker,

-or-- -Stay if you're going to drink.

Or stop asking questions, and get going.

Let me ask one last question.

Why didn't you say anything...

about why you came to the hospital ship?

It was Mr. Chu.

He didn't mean any harm.

There were rumors on the hospital ship.

He thought it would be better

for people to know the truth.

Does it upset you?

No.

I'm not upset.

It's the truth anyway.

Why didn't you do it?

They fired you unjustly.

You had the perfect chance to expose the truth.

So why...

Because I'm confident.

I don't need to expose others' weaknesses.

I'm confident I can go back with my own skills.

That's how I'll go back.

I'll be back

before the summer is over.

Good morning.

What's this?

Why?

You're a good surgeon who can drink a lot.

You're exactly my type.

Doctor.

May I call you Eun-jae? I can, right?

Come on, Doctor.

It's not like I'm your sister, Nurse Yoo.

I'm neither your cousin nor your friend.

Unless we were related that way, why would you call me by my name?

Dr. Song.

Yes. That's how you should address me.

You can call me by my name.

I'd like that.

Doctor. I mean, Eun-jae.

I heard this is the place.

-Is that true? -Yes.

I hear she's good.

That's why she's a star. Goodness.

That's right. Once she looks at you, she knows what problems you have.

That's right.

I hear she's saved hundreds of people.

Don't be silly. She saved thousands of people.

-Really? -That's right. That's why

I'm going to see the doctor that fixed the hand.

I think you should see the internal medicine doctor.

No way.

I want to see the doctor

who's an expert.

-Me too. -Me too.

-Me too. -It's not like the old days.

All our doctors are experts.

You must go to Internal Medicine or Korean Medicine

according to your appointment.

-I want to see that doctor. -Me too.

Mr. Kim Man-bok.

That's me. I'm here.

-It's my turn next. -No, it's mine.

Please, sir. You must see the internal medicine doctor.

No way.

-Come on. -Please listen.

-I insist. -Me too.

-It doesn't look good. -Is it a terminal illness?

I expect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chronic what?

-Your lungs don't look good. -Why is that?

You smoke, don't you?

No way.

It's been several decades.

-Gosh. -Isn't that right?

Can you do something? I'm in so much pain.

How can you expect your lungs to be normal

if you smoked for several decades?

What? What did you just say?

You have diabetes, yet you eat sweet and salty food.

Of course you have complications.

You should stop drinking.

Don't just hope for the liver to get better.

Are you telling me to stop drinking?

I'm over 80. Why would I stop drinking at this age?

I live to drink.

Put yourself in my shoes.

What's wrong with her?

How did she become a doctor?

Goodness, my blood pressure.

What's wrong, Nurse Pyo?

Why do all her patients look upset?

She may be a good surgeon,

but her attitude is terrible with the patients.

Do you know who the next patient is?

Ms. Park O-wol.

Please come in.

What seems to be the problem?

Hey.

Hey.

Look at the person you're talking to.

Do you have any manners at all?

Prescribe me a pile of medicine that's good for my health.

-Ma'am. -In return,

I'll read your fortune.

The spirits are on my side these days.

I can see the future accurately.

Why don't you let her? She says it's accurate.

No, thanks. It's not necessary.

-I don't believe in it. -Gosh, you're so frigid.

That's why you don't have a man in your life.

Goodness.

I see signs of solitude all over your face.

Solitude?

She's destined to live as a single woman.

My goodness.

-You are jaundice. -Who died?

You also have spots on your chest.

Did someone

in your family die recently?

Who was it that you don't let yourself cry?

-You have a lot of ascitic fluid. -Hey.

Did you weep for the person who died?

Ma'am, this is the hospital.

You must weep at least once.

Mind your own business, and take care of yourself.

This much ascitic fluid and jaundice can be quite dangerous.

Dangerous?

-Please do a blood test. -Okay.

Don't draw my blood.

The spirits will get angry.

-Ma'am. -Prescribe me some medicine.

-No. You need to be tested first. -I said no.

Don't be stubborn.

If you don't get tested and miss your chance to be treated--

What will happen if I miss my chance?

You'll die.

-What? -You may die very soon.

What did you say?

-Calm down, please. Ma'am. -What was that?

What? I will die?

Who's going to die?

You have no manners at all. Who are you to curse me?

How dare you say that I'll die?

-Hello. -Doctors grow

-through their failures. -Good job.

It's cruel that some people are the subjects of our failures.

What are you doing?

You're always impressive.

Not everyone is like you.

You're taking your anger out on patients instead of treating them.

We don't need a doctor like that.

Because of you, Father, children's lives were saved.

And some were inspired to become doctors.

Throughout her funeral,

you didn't even shed a tear for your late mother.
