(1994, SEOUL)

Tension in the Korean Peninsula is growing...

as North Korea backs down from...

the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Its leader, Kim Il Sung, has also...

been absent for months.

(EPISODE 1)

Where did I put it?

Oh! Found it.

My smiling friend, where should we go?

(LAWSUIT)

Lawsuit, plaintiff Park Cheol...

Defendant Myung Woo Hospital.

Daddy, what's a lawsuit?

Good bye, I'm on my way to school now!

Good bye, I'm on my way to school now!

Is this the residence of Professor Park Cheol?

My father's name is Park Cheol.

Is he here?

Daddy.

Are you Professor Park Cheol?

I'm Jang Seok Joo...

from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea.

(KOREA-GERMANY JOINT MEDICAL SYMPOSIUM)

I know Myung Woo Hospital is nationally renowned...

but I didn't expect the lawsuit to move the government.

Your trial won't be held today.

Hello?

Ah, Attorney Choi.

I won't be late to court.

The trial's been postponed?

There's a serious threat to national security...

so I asked the Minister of Justice to postpone your trial.

It's just a simple trial over a medical accident.

What does that have to do with national security?

The government foresees a war...

that will start in a few days.

It's a tank!

Mister, you look cool!

It's a tank!

It's a helicopter!

Wow.

The war will start with an American bombing.

Currently, the American nuclear aircraft carrier...

George Washington, and dozens of...

nuclear warships and submarines are...

standing by to bomb North Korea.

Why would America attack North Korea?

To be exact...

they're going to attack Yeon Byun Nuclear Powerplant.

America is plotting its complete annihilation...

to prevent North Korea from possessing nuclear weapons.

As soon as that happens, North Korea will...

fight back, starting a war...

between the North and South.

But why?

I'm just a heart surgeon. All I know how to do is fix hearts.

Why are you telling me all this?

Professor.

Only you can stop this war.

Hello, I'm home from school!

Daddy!

I'll wait for your response.

You're not at the hospital.

Can you go after we get lunch together?

I'll be back late tonight. There's food in the fridge.

Calm down, everyone!

Let go, lady!

What's going on?

Stop her!

They must sell something very yummy, daddy.

According to a representative from the distribution industry...

today, ramen sales sky-rocked from...

thirty boxes a day to several hundred.

In the last four days, 50 million packages of ramen...

have been sold across the country.

Let's eat.

I saw lots of tanks and soldiers...

on my way to school.

Can we go to the U.S. if there's a war?

That's where...

mommy is.

A war won't start that easily.

Seoul isn't too far from here.

If a war starts, everything will be burned to ashes.

- Well. - Professor Sung, it is very unlikely...

- that you would survive. - You can't be serious.

- We need to think about it. - Do think I'll just stand still?

- Excuse me. - You need to think about this.

Are you declaring a war?

The other side already has.

- You're clearly not listening. - Listen!

Huh?

What do you mean? An unidentified ship?

What's going on?

Do you see anything?

There's serious blockage in the coronary arteries.

The patient won't make it more than a month.

Why are you showing me this?

If you can save this person...

you could potentially prevent this war.

Fine. Please bring him to my hospital.

He can't come here.

You have to go to him, Professor.

Where would that be?

North Korea.

So you mean...

That's correct.

- This is Kim Il Sung's heart. - KIM IL SUNG: North Korean dictator.

There will be pandemonium in North Korea...

if Kim Il Sung dies now.

America sees that as their best chance to start a war.

(MOM: 001-1-949-24-18-25)

Just listen to me.

I told you I can't tell you the exact reason.

I'm getting married in a few days.

Do you think it's reasonable for you to ask me to do this?

I know. It's not easy for me to ask...

but Hoon is your son too.

You've always been like that.

Just selfish.

I want to forget about everything including you and Hoon.

- Hoon's mom! - I'm so sick of you!

Never contact me again.

Professor Choi will be here when you get back from school.

If you go to his house...

mom will come pick you up.

I want to stay with you, dad.

Listen to me.

Mom...

doesn't like me.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy!

Good bye. I'm on my way to school now.

Hoon!

Hoon.

The most recent war simulator...

was written by the U.S.

Is it true that you're sending a doctor to North Korea?

Certainly.

It's to prevent America from bombing North Korea.

With just one doctor?

Give us more details.

The U.S. will attack as soon...

as Kim Il Sung dies from his chronic heart condition.

The U.S. thinks North Korea will be...

most vulnerable after losing its leader.

So the doctor was sent...

Yes.

He's going to save Kim Il Sung's life.

(PYONGYANG, JOO SEOK PALACE)

As soon as the bombing starts...

North Korea will throw everything it has...

at any American military facilities.

More importantly...

our nuclear power plants...

are their targets.

If any one of them explodes...

the aftermath would be much worse than bombing of Hiroshima.

Even if we win the war...

one-third of our country...

would be inhabitable for the next 200 years.

His heart has stopped.

Now! Get ready for CPR!

F1 and F3!

Dr. Park, you have to save him.

Hoon.

Representative Jang.

America has approved the attack.

What?

Sir!

Representative Jang!

Explain everything!

We weren't expecting this so soon!

(40 YEARS OF ALLIANCE: AMERICA AND KOREA)

(UNITED STATES EMBASSY)

Prepare the pump.

- Yes, it's ready. - Prepare the hose.

Defibrillator.

Charge 20 millivolts.

Hey, hey!

- Hey, hey! - Stop, stop!

Mr. Wayne.

Stop the operation right now!

We're all going to die.

If it happens, we're all going to die.

Let's wrap this up.

Don't lose your focus until the end.

The former U.S. president Jimmy Carter...

has made a successful treaty with...

Kim Il Sung to stop the development of nuclear weapons.

The tension building in the Korean Peninsula...

over the past few months is now...

subsiding as the fear of war passes.

Chaos always has its hero...

and that hero can control the world.

I always believed in you!

You did it, Representative Jang!

You did it!

Thank you. You're too kind.

The overall situation has been evaluated positively.

What's that?

It's what my dad does.

After he fixed the place, then he stitched it like this.

You wanna be a doctor?

Yeah.

I think it's amazing to bring people back...

who are so close to death.

That's so cool!

My name is Song Jae Hee.

You?

Hoon.

It's time for us to leave.

Dad, can you give me a minute?

My name is Hoon. Park Hoon.

We're off to a strange wonderland...

where the mermaid's been captured in the evil castle!

Dad? There's a weird truck.

Daddy.

Are we not going home?

I don't think we can go back.

How come?

Korea only needs one hero.

That should be me, Jang Seok Joo.

It's Jang Seok Joo!

Yay!

What happened to my son?

Where is my son?

My son! Where is my son?

Where is my Hoon?

What happened to my son?

Hello!

I'm Jang Seok Joo.

Jang Seok Joo! Jang Seok Joo!

South Korean kids are...

so heartless.

From now on...

the South Korean Professor, Park Cheol, is dead.

From now on...

you will be a fellow citizen of North Korea...

friend Park Cheol.

Wow, you've really over-played this tape.

How is it? Isn't this awesome?

In South Korea, if you don't know this song...

you're considered a spy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

will teach you the song before they send you out...

to the Department of Communication in South Korea.

Come on, Tea Min.

How much is it?

2 dollars.

Tell me, tell me!

Te Te Te Te Te Tell me.

Hoon! Security is coming!

I think I messed up this time.

Stop right there!

- Jae Hee! - Hush, shhh!

I can feel your heartbeat.

I'm really nervous. Stay still.

You know what happens when you...

get caught by the security, right?

It's destiny.

Stop it with your nonsense!

Everyone has a unique heartbeat...

just like everyone has a different face.

Listen.

Mine has the same pattern as yours.

That's how I know we're meant for each other.

You and I.

I've decided.

I have too!

Ah, hey! Ah, Jae Hee!

Hey, wait! Song Jae Hee!

I'm going to tell on you to my father.

Wow, you'd really do something so cruel to your soulmate?

Soulmate? You're hilarious!

Put me down.

Now!

I know your parents aren't my biggest fans...

but they can't separate our destinies.

Will you marry me?

Where did you get this?

Isn't it pretty?

I risked my life to escape to South Korea and buy it.

You really are out of your mind.

You put yourself in so much danger for something so small?

It's simple. Just marry me.

No thank you.

You are going to marry me, aren't you?

Fine.

I'll get married...

in a hundred years!

What? Hey!

Jae Hee! Song Jae Hee!

That's not nice of you.

Oh no.

What are you up to?

I'm sorry, father.

What would you do if I suddenly disappeared?

No second thought needed.

I'd search the entire world until I found you.

Really?

Of course.

My father wants to see you.

- Really? - Yes, he asked you to come over tonight.

You'll have to be careful. He's very strict.

I like strict people.

Dress nicely.

For sure.

You don't need to dress up so fancy to go see a patient.

Is today my rotation?

Let's go. We're going to be late.

Can you please excuse me just for today?

- No. - Just today.

Just this one day?

Think about all the patients who are waiting.

If you're still willing to skip then you can do as you wish.

Father.

There aren't going to be that many patients today, right?

There weren't too many last time.

It's not very easy to diagnose without any sophisticated tools.

If you want to be a doctor in areas where they lack X-rays...

and other tools...

you have to learn to diagnose without them.

If we don't treat the infection in the cardiac membrane...

we can expect serious complications.

This was on clinical trial for only two months.

One wrong poke and...

You've read plenty of anatomy books.

Imagine those pictures in your head...

and feel them with your hands.

Sometimes feeling will show you...

the inside of patient's body...

better than any modern technology.

- Are you feeling alright? - Yes.

Please go in.

I'll take care of the rest.

Let's go in.

Please have a seat.

Jae Hee. Jae Hee!

Jae Hee! Jae Hee, Jae Hee!

Hoon!

Jae Hee!

Jae Hee. Jae Hee!

Jae Hee? Jae Hee!

Jae Hee!

What's this?

Jae Hee!

I'm scared.

What... What's going on, Jae Hee?

Where is she?

Wait a minute!

Wait! What's going on?

Please don't forget me. Okay?

What are you doing?

Hold on. Hold on!

Hoon!

I asked you what you're doing!

Hoon!

Jae Hee.

I heard she's from the Pyongyang Federation of Koreans residing in Japan.

I assume her father was a purgee.

Jae Hee didn't do anything.

You are going to get questioned about politics.

- I'll find her. - You'll be accused.

Forget it.

She's the one who made me grateful to be alive.

She was the only one who brought back my dreams.

Where is Doctor Park Hoon?

Who was it? Who was it?

Move!

It was because my father was so ill!

Are you Park Hoon, my friend?

You've certainly grown a lot.

Here, we take care of and research and our Majesty's health.

That means...

once you come in you can't leave.

I'm sure you've seen firsthand what happens...

if you try to leave without permission.

I never said I wanted to come here.

It has been decided by the committee.

Sir, if I study hard here...

can I be our Majesty's doctor?

Perhaps.

What do you mean perhaps?

You can either be a doctor or the doctor's assistant.

It all depends on your performance.

(5 YEARS LATER)

Where are you going this time?

I'm visiting Bel Dae.

I feel claustrophobic locked up here.

You know you'll be shot...

if you leave without permission.

Don't act like a snob just because you're skilled.

You'll get your nose busted.

I already have a pretty ugly nose.

Don't you agree?

It's a procedure for myocardial infarction.

Get ready.

Hoon.

Father?

How did you get in? Outsiders aren't allowed.

I heard you tried to break out of the lab without permission.

Yes. I've been searching all over...

the management office and the criminal camp.

Are you still looking for Jae Hee?

Of course.

Stop.

You're putting yourself in danger.

Father, don't stick your nose into this.

Our Eternal Health Laboratory is...

responsible for the research and care...

of Our Majesty's health.

We proudly have only the most qualified...

people working here.

We also perform many heart surgeries here...

to build various experience.

Then.

Would you like to take a look?

It was a case of myocardial infarction from a blocked coronary artery.

Take a break for a bit.

- If you stop now it will lead to cardiac necrosis. - (HEART MUSCLE DEATH)

Let's hope the power comes back before that and stop for now.

I think they are planning to just carry on.

Stop the surgery!

You can't see anything. How can you find a blood vessel?

I've done this thousands of times.

What makes you think I can't see?

Cut.

Wow.

What an outstanding surgery.

Can you close things up here?

Prodigy Park.

What a memorable surgery!

Getting experience over the last five years has really paid off.

But isn't it funny?

What?

The best facility in the country had a blackout.

During a surgery, no less.

Well it wasn't a problem...

with Dr. Park in charge.

- Is this person still alive? - For now.

Where are they from? This is pretty bad.

They're from Nu Koo Special Camp.

It's a secret criminal camp that holds political offenders.

Traditional medicine can research herbs and rubbish like that...

while we do our research on cancer and organ transplants.

I can't do it.

Take the organs you think will be...

useful and try to save other lives.

They're father and daughter so there won't be a problem.

So kill the daughter and save the father?

Let's show off your skills...

to the foreigners.

If you impress them...

we may get millions of dollars of equipment for free.

Didn't you hear me? I won't do it.

Do as I said!

The daughter will die.

What will you tell the father later?

They'll die anyway when they're caught in the camp.

I can't do it.

Find someone else.

Don't act so righteous.

You've done things here much worse.

That's the reason I can't do it.

Park Hoon!

Doctor, when is the surgery?

What surgery?

It's the patient from the special camp.

It's not going to be carried out.

My name is Song Jae Hee. You?

Please help me.

Do the surgery.

It's my daughter, Jae Hee.

There is significant organ damage...

especially around the kidneys.

It looks like a woman. She must have gone through a lot.

One kidney from the man looks bad as well.

But I see a glimmer of hope.

What if I transplant the man's kidney into the woman?

Then you'll lose the man.

- I can save the woman. - No.

That's against the Hippocratic Oath.

Then what should a doctor do?

You really don't know the answer?

Do you know what I've done for the past five years?

I've opened the hearts of perfectly healthy people.

I transplanted organs that I knew would be rejected.

I've implanted synthetic blood vessels that were never clinically tested.

Countless people died like that.

The Hippocratic Oath? What does it mean now, father?

You said a doctor would never kill another man.

Hoon.

These days, doctors kill people!

In a world like that...

is it that unethical to sacrifice...

another person so that I can save my woman?

Why is that wrong, father?

So this is...

Scalpel.

This isn't the man.

If you want to see results it's better to save the woman.

They will fund surgical equipment.

Really?

Start.

It's under one condition.

They would like to show...

Dr. Park's skills to other doctors around the world.

You are telling me to go to Budapest?

It will only take for or five days.

I don't have the time to take a break.

Dr. Park.

They'll only fund our equipment if you go.

I have patients here I need to take care of.

So that's...

the best you can do?

Don't worry, Jae Hee.

I'll never let you go again.

Hoon.

- Father. - I've been waiting for you for a while.

Why are you here so late?

Did you get permission?

I have to tell you something.

If you get caught, it will be a huge mess.

Leave before the power comes back.

Go to Budapest.

There was a friend of mine among the doctors who just visited.

So the reason they're asking to go to Budapest is so...

Yes. It's the last chance you have...

to escape from this place.

Sorry, I can't leave Jae Hee.

She'll go with you.

I know what she means to you.

Father.

If you leave tomorrow we will never meet again.

Leave, and be happy with that girl.

What about you father?

Don't worry about me.

Father.

Father.

I'm sorry.

I can't leave.

Why?

Is it because of me?

I'll protect Jae Hee no matter what lies ahead.

Hoon.

Go ahead. I'll walk you out.

If you go straight you'll find a secret passage.

It's how I've gotten out every time I've escaped from here.

Think it over.

It's your last chance.

Hurry up.

We'll be in trouble if the power is restored.

Hoon.

Good bye.

Father.

Father, father, father!

Father, wait!

Father, father! Father!

Father, father!

N-no. No way, father.

Father!
