Original subtitles

-Did you find it? -I can't see very well.

Stay calm.

But Sir...

I told you to stay calm!

Dr. Geum.

May I?

Don't lower your heads like you did something wrong.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Those up there should lower their heads. Look.

That's right. Feel proud of yourselves.

You are the only true doctors in this hospital.

Let's stop looking at them and get this finished quickly.

We need to find where the bleeding is coming from.

The bleeding is too severe, we can't locate where it's coming from.

We can't even do a CT scan or ultrasound in the middle of an operation.

Suction.

Needle holder.

Forceps.

I guess there is no surgery

Park Hun can't perform.

That may be true, but he's going to get fired now.

-Vital signs? -Good.

She's stable now, we won't need to worry.

What else can you expect when you have such a talented first assistant? Right?

You heard me.

Open a disciplinary committee and prepare for a lawsuit.

Yes, Sir.

I understand about the committee. But prepare for a lawsuit?

That operation was like telling the patient we made a mistake.

That's why we have to prepare for a lawsuit.

Gosh, this is going to be trouble.

How about we try talking to the cardiology department

so that we can avoid a lawsuit?

They won't listen to us.

Have you ever seen a doctor admit to his or her own mistake?

Use your head.

-I'll finish up. -Thanks.

Good job.

-Good job. -Good job.

Han Jae-jun.

Didn't I warn you?

I told you it will be the end for you, if you operate on her.

I know, Sir.

Give them a sincere apology?

Very well. Let's see if that can really stop them from suing us.

OPERATING ROOM

Doctor.

Don't worry. The operation was successful.

Thank you, Doctor.

I apologize on behalf of Myeongwoo since we caused you so much trouble.

No, no. Please. You shouldn't apologize.

It should be the people from cardiology, not you.

Will you...

be filing a lawsuit?

I'm not sure.

Call me if there is anything I can help you with.

We should take some measures

before we all get fired.

You saw how Mr. Oh looked at us.

I don't think there's anything we can do.

Except for one person.

What are you doing? Are you not moving the patient?

I'll be with you soon.

Dr. Geum!

Why do I feel

lonely and abandoned?

Are you worried about getting fired?

No!

Then what is it?

I'm his first assistant!

But I was

totally useless!

I don't think I've ever seen you get this upset before.

Don't beat yourself up.

We all make mistakes and learn from them.

Just like kids do as they grow up.

You think I'm a kid?

No, I didn't mean that.

Well, your innocence is your charm, so...

From now on,

stop treating me like a kid!

Okay.

Then,

from now on...

From now on,

I'll treat you like an adult.

Mom.

She's going to be fine.

Thank you, Doctor.

You should thank Dr. Oh. She's the real doctor.

Right?

Well, yes.

I'll call you when she wakes up.

Yes, Doctor.

"Dr. Oh"?

ISOLATION WARD

Why are you looking at me like that?

Did you just call me "Dr. Oh"?

-Did I? -Yes, in front of Jae-cheol.

Slip of the tongue, I guess.

I know it's not.

What?

You said to be confident.

You said we're the true doctors of this hospital.

That's why you called me "Dr. Oh," isn't it?

-I didn't know you were there. -Are you being serious?

Of course, we were all wearing masks. How could I tell people apart?

You even talked to me.

That's after the operation.

You don't want to call me "Dr. Oh" that much?

Does that really matter?

That's why you lose so much hair.

What?

You worry about your hair. What kind of doctor has such hairstyle?

-What about my hair? -Try to look neater.

Patients like doctors that look neat,

not those with permed hair.

Stop the nonsense and go and talk to your father.

Talk about what?

We'll all be fired because we operated on her.

And I realized that Dr. Han is quite a good man.

He's definitely the person

your father should keep at this hospital.

LAWSUIT

PLAINTIFF: PARK CHEOL DEFENDANT: MYEONGWOO HOSPITAL

I'm sorry,

Father.

The patient woke up.

-Okay. -I'm very proud of you.

You know that, right?

Thank you.

Don't worry about my father.

I'm going back to America

if he asks me to leave.

America?

But I don't want to go alone.

Come with me.

I can ask for a position at Harvard.

Thank you.

But you won't have to leave.

I'll convince my father to keep you here.

So cheer up.

GARIBONG CLINIC

Why did you operate on her?

Let's talk about it later.

I said later.

-Hun. -Go. I want to be alone.

You hate competing over patients.

I thought all you had to do was step away just once.

-Then it would've ended and... -And what?

Was I supposed to neglect a dying patient?

Others were already operating on her.

The boy's mom was dying and they needed my help.

How can I step away?

Don't do this to me.

I get confused

every time you do this to me.

When we first met here,

I was ashamed of myself.

Because I had done many bad things during the time I had lost you.

But I plucked up my courage.

Because I found you again.

With you back, my dream also returned.

I thought we could go back to the times

I made you that bracelet.

But the Jae Hui

I used to know...

how could she do this to me?

How could she ask me

to neglect

a dying patient?

I'm going to kill him.

GARIBONG CLINIC

Let go.

Stop it.

Wake up.

Stop it.

I said stop it!

Stop.

Please stop it.

We still have time.

We can still wait.

Just a little bit more.

You don't have the right to decide

if I'm right or wrong.

Forgive them?

I know it is the lawsuit that worries you.

A lawsuit is like a disease.

If you underestimate it, it will spread

and kill the one suffering from it.

It will kill our hospital.

But, Father...

what if the patient's family doesn't sue us?

Her husband already asked for the medical records.

-He's probably preparing a lawsuit. -So if he doesn't sue us,

will you forgive the doctors?

Why do you ask? Is it because of Han Jae-jun?

Obviously.

You asked me for more time when I told you to get engaged to him.

So what's this about?

You know he's the only one for me.

I might end up being a spinster if you fire him. Will you be okay with that?

What nonsense are you talking about?

So Father,

promise me

that you will forgive us all if they don't file a lawsuit.

Very well. But I'm telling you, he will sue us.

Contrary to what Jae-jun believes, there are no such doctors

or patients in the world we live in.

We'll prove that wrong this time.

Thank you, Father.

That's not a proper meal.

You don't know how great this tastes.

Still, that's instant food. You need an actual meal.

Why are you here?

I need to ask you a favor.

What?

He'll forgive us if the family doesn't sue us?

Yes, and I need your help.

Does he have to set a condition on it?

At least Jae-jun will have another chance.

You'll help me, won't you?

-I won't. -Then you'll lose your job too.

Then that's too bad.

You need the money.

I have my clinic. Or I could steal money from somewhere.

Would you stop?

You said that Jae-jun is a good person.

And what about the rest? You said that they are the true doctors.

Are you just going to let them get fired?

I know what you're saying, but...

Why me?

Come on. Just say you'll help.

I thought you needed my help.

Okay, forget it.

I'll just do it myself.

Fine, I'll help.

Their lives depend on this.

Can't you be more serious?

Getting fired won't kill them.

Park Hun!

Okay, I'm sorry. What should I do?

We have to first talk to the family of the patient.

This is why you're a quack. That's not the first thing to do.

Would you just listen to me, please?

Fine.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

They tried to cover up their mistake.

And I can't overlook that.

Dad.

We will compensate you for the trouble we caused.

Yes, money matters.

But I need to know

what went wrong.

And I think I deserve a sincere apology

for the mistake they made.

I'm pretty sure they aren't the type to apologize.

Dr. Park.

Okay.

We'll meet the doctors and talk about it.

Apology?

What apology?

Who are you to ask me that?

She could have died if we hadn't operated on her.

Our treatment was sufficient.

You overreacted on it.

Sue us? Let them sue us.

We won't blink an eye.

What now?

We might have to threaten them.

Threaten them?

The stent operation was performed by a third-year resident.

I heard about it. So I called the branch just in case,

but they said he's on leave and not answering the phone.

Then we'll find him.

How?

Do you have some money?

Money? Why?

To find that resident.

How is your boss doing?

He's doing great thanks to you.

He's staying very healthy

in prison.

What a shame.

I couldn't have anything to do with his arrest, could I?

That's okay.

Because while he's gone for the next 10 years,

I'm the boss.

Congratulations.

Well, thank you.

Okay, have a good day.

Hey.

Oh, yes.

-Here. -Sign it.

-Right. -Yes.

Of course, I'll sign it.

My boys had a hard time finding him.

Guys, count!

-One! -Two!

-Three! -Four!

-Five! -Six!

-Seven! -Eight!

-Nine! -Ten! Done.

-Wow. -There are many of them.

And I have to feed them.

It's 100,000 won per man.

You have a great memory.

He has to feed them.

Who is she?

She's like an ATM. Money comes out of her.

Okay!

Here you go.

Five hundred won more.

Five hundred won?

I don't know. You added that last time so I'm adding that too.

Here!

Okay!

He's all yours.

Okay, let's go.

Thank you.

Call me again if you need me.

What's going on?

I need to speak to you.

That tickles.

I won't let you record anything.

Record? Record what?

You're not fooling me. You'll record me admitting my mistake.

And use that as evidence for your lawsuit.

I don't know what you want to say, but we did nothing wrong.

You're right. It's my father's fault.

You just tried to help my mother.

And I don't think we should sue you.

I know you can be upset because of how my father reacted.

You're a doctor, I hope you understand.

Really?

Then go and tell that to your father.

Professor.

How can you do that to a boy?

He's here.

They might come and swing at you.

-Calm down. Apologize or-- -Doctor.

How many times do I have to tell you?

You will gain nothing by taking this to court.

You'll be hitting a rock with an egg.

The egg being you.

All I want is one thing.

For them to admit that they made a mistake during the operation.

And say they're sorry about it. That's all I want.

You'll record them saying that and use it as evidence.

We're not so naive.

Would you just stop it now? Please.

What's going on?

Stay there and watch.

We're sorry.

The operation should have been done by the professor.

But our resident did it

and he made a mistake.

We should have told you the truth from the beginning.

Please accept our sincere apology.

As doctors,

we did something to be ashamed of.

We're sorry.

Was this so hard to do?

"We're sorry. We made a mistake!"

"We're sorry. We made a mistake!"

Was that so hard to say?

I'm going to sue you!

I'm going to sue you all!

Don't say that, Dad.

They helped Mom.

And they'll help me too.

They will also help you if you get sick.

Thank you.

Then you can treat me to lunch.

Tae-seong!

That's from the rubbish bin. Give me that.

-It's dirty. Don't touch it. -I like it.

My son.

I'm sorry, my son. Did I keep you waiting?

Is he your son?

You can't stay here. Come with me.

I think she's from the psychiatric ward.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Hey, Park Hun.

It's all over.

Everything is over.

We evaluated

all three candidate hospitals.

And we have chosen one to treat my heart.

It is Jeil Hospital.

What were the evaluation criteria?

When will be the operation happen?

Why didn't Myeongwoo Hospital...

Well, Jeil Hospital

not only has the best doctors and staff,

but they also have

a very high standard on the ethics component.

The objective facts of

the three hospitals were similar.

It was with regards to ethics that made us choose Jeil Hospital.

Jeil Hospital?

Then what happens to us?

You really don't know?

Everything is over now.

All of a sudden, it's become a pie in the sky. Right, Dr. Park?

We were not chosen. Why are you so happy?

That's why I'm happy. You want some?

Yes.

That's unsanitary.

I forgive you this time only because my daughter stood up for you.

Thank you, Mr. Oh.

The other doctors are cleared too, right?

Everyone except one.

Who?

Park Hun.

He's the exception.

But he made the biggest contribution to dissuade them from suing us. Why?

I said he is to be fired!

You did a great job, Master.

Well...

You did a good job too.

I hope you accomplish your father's wish someday.

Hey, wait.

What happened to the 50 million won I gave you?

I don't think you can use that anymore.

Why not?

I only have half of the check.

They're useless now, so I'll take care of it.

Good job.

I'm sorry.

You can have it.

Will you throw it out for me?

CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON PARK HUN

Hey, Quack.

Keep up the hard work

and you'll become a good doctor someday.

Goodbye.

Wait.

Tell me if you want to stay here.

I can talk to my father again.

No, thanks. Your father can't have me here.

Why not? He accepted you the first time you joined us.

Because he didn't know who I was at the time.

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Anyway, I'm leaving.

Let me know what I should do now.

Okay.

Dr. Park!

Keep it just in case.

CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON PARK HUN

CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON PARK HUN

I need your help.

Thank you.

Do we have the blood test result of the patient in Room 25?

You should ask the doctors.

Let me check.

Hello? How can I help you?

Hey! Quack!

That's why they call you a quack.

-It hurts. -When will you do it properly?

It hurts.

-Are you going to do it properly or not? -It hurts.

Hello?

Hello?

Doctor, the phone.

The blood culture result isn't here yet so...

Doctor Oh?

Are you crying?

Crying?

No, I'm not.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

I guess something got in my eye.

-What's wrong? -Just a minute.

Just a minute.

Come on, enjoy it. This food is very expensive.

Tell me.

Why did you choose Jeil Hospital?

Well, let me explain.

It was between Myeongwoo, Mingook, and Jeil.

So I asked for the president's approval.

The president was very interested in this matter.

So I asked him to decide for me.

But I could tell by his look

that he would be against the choice I was going to make.

I had a feeling that he'd choose Mingook or Jeil if I chose Myeongwoo.

So I intentionally chose Mingook.

But that was when he chose Jeil.

I didn't come here to hear this from you.

I know.

What you want to hear...

is inside this envelope.

Don't worry too much.

Our project is going right on track.

You have a nice place.

Well...

As you can see, I don't have much.

The cup doesn't matter

if the coffee is good enough.

From all the coffee I've tasted,

this one is the worst.

Come on, I did my best. It can't taste that bad.

Gosh, that is bad! I think the milk went bad.

Your coffee-making skills aren't at all like your skills in the OR.

Well, I don't think you came here for coffee.

What brings you here then?

I have two questions for you.

Two questions?

Why did you help with

my operation?

And why did you perform that operation?

Was it because of the patient?

So, it was for the same reason?

I'm sorry about that.

You wouldn't have had to go through all that

if I had performed it in the first place.

Doctor Oh told me.

I should be

thanking you.

You don't have to.

Did you dissuade the family

from suing the hospital for me?

That's my second question.

I guess so.

I didn't expect that.

Neither did I.

Being concerned for you out of all people.

Why?

We weren't exactly the closest. Why would you care for me?

Well, somebody has an eccentric hobby.

Do you really have to hear it coming from me?

Yes.

You know why.

I want to hear you say it.

Goodness.

Because I believe you are a good doctor.

Satisfied?

Let's go for a drink. I'll treat you.

Gosh, this is hard.

Your first time making curry?

I don't like curry that much.

And you're making this much?

You're good, Dr. Han.

Why aren't you eating?

How far is Dr. Park's place from here?

Why?

I think he likes curry.

We made too much. We could invite him.

Is that why you made so much?

No way.

It's just that I once saw him eating instant curry. That's why.

How did you know that?

Well, I just...

I'll call him, okay?

DR. PARK HUN CALL

-Well... -Yes.

I mean, we went through all that to operate on the prime minister.

Suddenly, Myeongwoo is not chosen.

Do you know how anxious I was after I lost the first operation?

I thought my whole world was crashing down around me.

Hey, you're talking too friendly with me.

Oh, am I?

Well, I'm very sorry.

No, that's okay.

You're obviously older than I am.

I couldn't help but get curious

how someone who is so young and from North Korea

could have such great skills.

Well...

My father was a doctor.

So he's still there?

No, he died.

I'm sorry.

Then your mother...

Let's stop the serious talk.

I need to pee.

I'll be right back.

QUACK

Hey, why didn't you pick up sooner?

You didn't have dinner, right?

I made some curry, but there is a lot left.

Come and have the leftover food.

Hey, are you upset?

Well,

I just felt a little sad after you left.

I need to talk to you. Will you come over?

He went to the toilet.

Jae-jun?

I'm having a drink with him.

I see.

Why did you call him?

Well, I just...

Dr. Han made some curry but we have a lot of leftovers, so...

I'll tell him when he comes back.

Okay. Please do that.

What did he say?

Jae-jun answered his phone. I think they're together at the moment.

Why do you look so flustered?

No, I don't.

You should ask Dr. Han to come too.

What? Yes. Why not?

Dr. Park, what do you think about Doctor Oh?

Doctor Oh?

At first, I thought she was a quack.

But I realized that she's a hard-working person.

It's cute to see her transform into a real doctor, little by little.

Sometimes she reminds me of Jae Hui.

Does Jae Hui look like Doctor Oh?

No, she doesn't.

I just wish Jae Hui was like Doctor Oh.

As a doctor.

Do you have

any feelings for her?

Wait a second.

You don't think I like her, do you?

She might like you.

What?

You're worried she might like me?

That's ridiculous.

Wow.

You know what? He's worried that I might like you.

You shouldn't have answered his phone.

It kept ringing so I thought it was urgent.

Did you tell him on the phone that you like me?

Don't be ridiculous.

Just eat, Dr. Park.

Hey, Quack.

You know we aren't a good match.

I'm sorry to say this in front of your boyfriend.

But I hate girls with a temper.

Even more so if they hit me,

and are full of vanity.

Look, I didn't say I like you.

I was trying to be nice to you because you got kicked out.

Hey, calm down.

Why should I calm down?

I called you to offer you a meal. And this is what I get?

You're overreacting. Stop.

-That's enough. -I'm not overreacting!

I'll go.

You went too far.

She'll be fine.

You guys were on good terms at the hospital.

How did you know that I like curry?

Beats me. I don't know how she got to know.

It was Quack?

Just finish your meal.

Are you okay?

How can he say that? How can he be so condescending?

Do you like him?

What?

He's always been like that. You're taking it too seriously.

So you're saying that

I'm the one overreacting?

Try to calm down.

Okay. Give me some time.

Okay. Come down when you feel okay.

You stupid idiot!

This might be the last time we meet.

I guess so.

They're my parents.

Are your parents in America?

You could say that.

You must miss them.

It's not that bad.

In North Korea, Dr. Park's father...

Is your mother still in North Korea?

You're asking strange questions today.

I guess I am.

May I know your father's name?

I'd like to know who he was.

There aren't many good cardiothoracic surgeons.

If he trained you, I might have heard of him.

His name is Park Cheol.

Satisfied?

What?

Hey. Are you here?

I'm not your personal driver. Why did you call?

Okay, I'm sorry. I'll be right there.

Why is Park Hun's mother here?

She will soon meet her son.

Why?

It's the prime minister's order.

Why is he so curious about my family?

Your family?

Who?

Never mind. Just keep driving.

HAN JAE-JUN

How was your father's wedding?

Not bad.

But my stepmother is two years younger than me.

I have a favor to ask of you.

What is it?

It's about Professor Park Cheol.

I thought he went missing.

See if he ended up in North Korea.

In North Korea?

That will cost you quite a lot.

I'll owe you a big one.

You'll owe me a big one?

Okay. I'll look into that and call you.

SEOUL DISTRICT COURT

Still waiting for Professor Park?

Is he not here yet?

Go home.

He didn't show up so the trial was canceled.

Mom.

Let me talk to you. Professor, please!

You said you'll testify for us regarding my father's death.

Let's go.

You heard him too.

He said he'll testify for us.

Sung-hun, I'm not...

Mom!

Mom, what's wrong? Mom!

Help! Mom! Are you okay?

Wake up, Mom! Someone help me!

Mom!

Are you waiting for someone?

My son.

There's no one here. I'll take you to your room.

Dad.

See you later, Dad!

MOM

MOM

Hello?

Hello?

Hun, is that you?

Yes,

I'm Hun.
