CONFIDENCE QUEEN

EPISODE 5

We must hurry and cross the Samdocheon River before sunrise.

What's that?

The river on the border of the living world and the afterlife.

Then, does that mean I'm dead?

Hurry along.

If we don't get there on time, King Yeomra will be furious.

Where are we going?

Heaven?

Or paradise?

Paradise?

There's only one place for those who have lied and deceived others.

That is The Great Ocean Hell.

The great lotion hell?

The place that cuts the bones of sinners alive with a giant saw.

With a saw?

My bones? Cut them? Why?

No! Wait!

I'm not a bad guy!

Hold on! I'm not a bad guy!

Mr. Jeon?

Chairman Jeon Tae-su?

How have you been?

Trust!

Bring my 50 billion back.

My 50 billion.

Fifty billion!

No!

Fifty billion…

I'm just checking since you were asleep for so long.

It hurts.

It couldn't be that bad.

You'll recover quickly since it was a laparoscopic surgery.

The scar won't be too bad either,

so try not to worry too much.

King Yeomra…

No.

Never mind.

You're only a kid. How do you know so much?

If you're in the hospital more than school,

you basically are a doctor.

Goodness, that's amazing.

Gu-ho!

- Gu-ho? - James.

Gu-ho.

Gosh, what happened?

Did the surgery go well?

You've lost so much weight.

Have you eaten anything?

His surgery went well.

He can't eat until he passes gas.

He should avoid excessive exercise for a week or two.

No drinking or smoking, and avoid overeating, fatigue,

and stress for a month or two.

Who is this cute little lady?

In my opinion, I'm not cute at all.

I'm also not little.

And I'm absolutely not a lady.

I'm sorry, but you're so adorable.

Who are you?

What about you?

You're not pretty enough

to be his girlfriend.

What?

Well, we are this handsome guy's co-workers.

I see. I'm Han Jae-hee.

Hi, I'm James.

Yun Yi-rang.

Were your nicknames "Batyirang" or "Batgorang"?

I never had such nicknames.

Or maybe you didn't have friends.

Yes, I did! I had a lot.

Who cares if you had no friends?

I don't have any either.

Really?

Hey, what are you doing?

It was a laparoscopic surgery.

The swelling's all gone already.

How do you know all that?

Since his guardians are here, I'll be off now.

Gosh, she's unbelievable.

It's like there are two Yi-rangs.

I've never seen Yi-rang lose like that before.

- I know, right? - Unbelievable.

Who says I lost?

Have you ever seen me lose to anyone?

What?

She totally lost.

Hello, sir.

Is his name "Gosh?"

How come all doctors are so good-looking these days?

- Are you eating well? - Hey, looks aren't everything.

- He's the director of Jaekyeong Hospital. - What?

The genius surgeon, Jo Seong-woo.

Really?

He's one of the five best in Korea for major artery surgeries.

Damn, he has it all.

Hi, Jae-hee.

- Yi-rang, why are you squirming? - What's wrong with you?

- Stop squirming. - There she goes again.

- This is embarrassing. - My gosh.

You must've been tired. You slept a lot.

I'm jealous.

- Jeal-- - What?

You're jealous?

You look like you're about to pass out.

Would you like to take a seat?

The surgery went well.

You can't eat until you pass gas.

And you have to stay for treatment until tomorrow.

- And what else? - Drinking and smoking.

Right. Of course, no drinking and smoking.

Not until your wounds heal.

Bye, Doctor.

Goodness.

Let's see how you feel and run a few more tests today.

I'll make sure they go easy on you.

Have you had any other problems?

Jae-hee, don't worry about anything,

and just trust me.

And eat well, okay?

Okay.

The director's in a different league. He's so kind.

- He's so different from my doctor. - I know.

Hey, kid.

Didn't that offend you just now?

It did.

Why did he touch my head without my permission?

Exactly. When someone touches my head, it feels like they're touching my brain.

It's so unpleasant.

Exactly. Does he think I'm a baby or something?

I mean, even if I were a baby, he still can't do that.

Of course, he can't do that.

And just because he's a doctor, it doesn't mean his hands are clean

All those germs spreading on his hands…

NAME: HAN JAE-HEE DIAGNOSIS: COARCTATION OF THE AORTA

Seriously, I…

CONFIDENCE QUEEN

Gosh, I'm thirsty.

COARCTATION OF THE AORTA

A CONDITION WHERE THE MAIN ARTERY IS NARROWED…

"Congenital defect."

CAUSES

If you're in the hospital more than school,

you basically are a doctor.

Goodness.

She must be having such a hard time.

Jae-hee.

Ta-da.

It's for you.

I thought you liked stuffed animals.

Claw machines are what I like.

You like claw machines?

Too bad then. I guess I better take this with me.

Give it to me.

Since it's from you, I'll try to like it.

You will?

Yeah.

Good luck with your surgery.

When you come to remove your stitches,

you'll come see me, right?

Should I?

How about we play claw machines that day?

Sounds good.

But don't tell Mom.

I won't tell your mom.

Bye.

Good luck with your surgery.

- Thanks. - You got this.

James, be careful. Easy.

Hey!

I didn't even touch you yet.

You didn't?

- Go easy. - Move.

What's with that suspicious look?

Nothing.

You look like a professional.

You're basically a doctor.

Doctor, my foot. Anyone can disinfect wounds.

That hurts, Yi-rang!

Anyone can do it, but I feel so assured with you doing it!

That's what I mean.

No, she's not just anyone.

She saw last time where the surgery had been done

and immediately knew it was a laparoscopic procedure.

She probably just read about it from a few books.

No.

I graduated from a medical school in Texas.

- Medical school? - Wait, how can you say that so casually?

But Yi-rang, you majored in criminal psychology.

You don't think I have only one degree, do you?

Did you forget that I'm Yun Yi-rang?

The more I get to know you, the more you amaze me.

- When are your stitches being removed? - Why do you ask?

It's about that little girl, Jae-hee, isn't it?

You keep thinking about her, right?

I actually was too.

Yi-rang was just like her when she was ten--

Tenacious, cute, and pretty.

She'd be happy to see all three of us, right?

Well, I'm sure she'll act like she's not.

All done. Hey, lose some weight.

Jae-hee--

Hello.

There she is.

Jae-hee!

It's not her.

Right, the stairs.

Goodness…

Why is he taking so long to bring the kid?

I know. Maybe she hasn't recovered yet?

Please help my daughter.

What on earth? A one-person protest at a hospital?

Please look at this.

You're right.

Doctor! Please operate on my daughter, Jae-hee.

Jae-hee?

HER LIFE IS BEING NEGLECTED!

Please help.

We really can't delay it anymore.

Hey! Watch your mouth, will you?

What's this intense discussion?

If this medical malpractice gets out, we'll both be ruined.

We can quickly do another surgery before this gets any worse.

If we delay this anymore, it'll be a disaster!

The chairman already said no, you idiot.

So, are we supposed to let the kid die?

Then, things will get more out of hand.

Will you be able to handle that?

For fuck's sake, what do you expect me to do?

Just let me do it.

I'll meet with and convince the chairman. Just set up an opportunity for us to talk.

If we waste any more time, we're going to kill Jae-hee!

Keep your fucking voice down.

Seong-woo, we're doctors.

If something happens to her,

you think we'll be able to continue with our careers?

Stop whining, you idiot.

You think we'll be the only ones getting screwed?

Do you?

What if people find out it was a ghost surgery?

Everyone will go down like dominoes.

Even the innocent employees.

Get it?

Get your act together, Gwang-sik.

Doctor.

What was all of that? Wait, stop.

What happened to Jae-hee?

HER LIFE IS BEING NEGLECTED! PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON HER!

What on earth is going on?

We should've suspected it.

What? Suspected what?

If her veins became narrow due to the coarctation of the aorta,

and if she developed cyanosis,

she was likely in pain while walking.

Have you had any other problems?

But if he hadn't known that or taken it seriously,

we should've been suspicious.

We should've seen if he was a real doctor

or just a damn fraud.

James, Yi-rang!

What happened?

There was an accident during Jae-hee's surgery.

They won't perform another surgery on her.

Those bastards are trying to stop it from leaking out.

What?

What do we do, Yi-rang?

It was…

It was all my fault.

The week I had her surgery,

I was swamped with VIP surgeries

and night shifts back-to-back.

Then, I was suddenly scheduled for Han Jae-hee's surgery.

- The genius surgeon, Jo Seong-woo. - Scalpel.

It was all a fabricated image.

Jo Seong-woo was a typical prep school kid raised to become a doctor

under the strict control of his father, who founded Jaekyeong Hospital.

His father was the director and a top surgeon, and after he passed,

Jo inherited the hospital.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Gosh, my legs.

Im Gwang-sik performed all the difficult surgeries instead,

and Jo Seong-woo took all the credit.

All these ghost surgeries made Im Gwang-sik increasingly exhausted,

and on the day of Jae-hee's surgery…

Gauze. Check the vitals.

They're still stable.

Let's get out of here.

What? What is it?

Hey, what happened?

Hey, tell me what happened!

So, why did this man, Im Gwang-sik, perform ghost surgeries for Jo Seong-woo

in the first place?

Im was the top student in Hankuk University Medical School.

His family lost everything after his father was scammed.

But Jaekyeong Hospital paid off all the debt and sponsored his tuition

and even his living expenses.

And they hired him right after graduation.

Well, you get it, right?

Jo Seong-woo is an absolute menace.

He's holding someone down with money and taking advantage of him.

Then, the target is clear this time.

Nope. The main villain is someone else.

The chairman of Jaekyeong Hospital, Lee Seon-mi.

Will you please let me meet Chairman Lee?

I'm begging you.

Not today. She has business outside the office.

- Chairman Lee. - What's going on?

This is for you.

Gosh, thank you.

Chairman Lee,

I was told Jae-hee's surgery would be scheduled soon,

but I was told to just keep waiting.

Well, Jae-hee isn't the only one who needs urgent surgery.

We'll adjust our schedule to the best of our ability.

If you wait at home, we'll contact you soon.

Thank you for your help.

Sure.

- Thank you so much, ma'am. - Of course.

Once Jo Seong-woo built his false reputation,

Jaekyeong Hospital was always packed with patients.

Gosh, I'm sick of this.

If a patient won't make them money, no matter how urgent,

she'll endlessly delay surgery.

Goodness…

They're dried persimmons.

But patients with a lot of money,

regardless of how critical their condition is or when they came in,

are given priority.

She is already well-known for that.

Hi, it's me.

Move the lawyer Choi up to third in line.

Mr. Kim, you moved the lawyer Choi to third, right?

Right. Well, not yet.

Come on, move him up now.

Yes, ma'am.

HAN JAE-HEE CHOI CHI-HUN

- Did you do it? - Well, what about Han Jae-hee?

Just leave her.

Don't worry about her.

Geez. Did you move him up?

Yes.

HAN JAE-HEE

- Hey, she's not gone yet? - Sorry?

Park Jae-hee or whatever. She's not dead yet?

Mom…

That was too harsh.

Harsh?

Hey. She didn't die during surgery. Isn't that enough?

We gave notice that complications may occur during surgery.

Her mom signed the consent form.

And after she begged us, we did the surgery for her.

So what's the issue?

It's her mother's fault for making the wrong choice.

Chairman Lee,

Jae-hee could die if she doesn't get another surgery.

If you just give me an operating room,

I can solve the problem. It's not that complicated.

My goodness.

You idiots came to visit me outside of your work hours

for some kid that doesn't make any money

to waste my precious time?

I'm talking about a matter of life and death.

This worthless golf more important to you?

What did he just say?

I mean…

- Look… - Stay out of it.

Hey.

I fed you and gave you a home

when you were about to be thrown out onto the streets

because of your parents' debt.

I even spent the foundation's money to pay for your damn tuition

and turn you into a doctor.

But what?

Worthless golf?

Hey, you idiot.

You know what?

This worthless golf is more important to me

than some damn girl who doesn't make me money.

So what?

What are you going to do about it, you punk?

Look.

If we got a good scene for our hospital's promotional video,

she's run out of use, you idiot.

So,

stop wasting your time on something so useless.

And focus on the VIP surgeries that actually make money, you fucks!

Got it?

Answer me, you fuck! Did you get it?

Hey, get out. Now!

Let go! Let go, you idiot!

You little motherfucker.

Mom, are you crazy?

- What will you do if you hurt his arm? - You punk.

Let him hurt his arm!

Let him hurt it! Tell him to smash it!

Smash it until it's ground to dust, you motherfucker!

You think I can't find another doctor like him?

Hey, I won't lose sleep over losing a punk like that!

Don't you know who I am? Don't you know?

Where are you going? Hey!

Hey, you motherfucker! Come back here!

Hey!

The real source of evil was Chairman Lee Seon-mi.

She's using her son, Jo Seong-woo, to control everything.

How are we going to make them pay?

Okay. It's been decided.

The codename for this operation will be "Eye and Tooth."

Right. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

That's right.

I'm going to show them

that if they make others cry, they'll cry tears of blood.

We'll do the same to them as what they did to Jae-hee.

If I, Yun Yi-rang, eat a grudge…

Eat what?

You mean "develops a grudge."

- Yeah. - Right.

If I develop a grudge,

I'll make sure she experiences fire and brimstone even in the dead of winter.

THE OPERATION BEGINS

My baby.

I'll take that.

My apologies, ma'am.

But this has already been reserved.

So what?

I'm sorry to say, but this item cannot be purchased.

Just do as I say instead of talking back, damn it.

You know what this is, right?

We're well aware you're a Black Sapphire member.

We've always been grateful for that.

Is this how you show your gratitude?

I come here every time you release a new model…

Who are you?

What are you doing?

I'll take it now.

Thank you.

Customers like that must be troublesome.

It's okay.

They absolutely loved the gift you suggested last time.

- I'm glad to hear that. - So damn pretentious.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Bye.

Who was that?

She's a Crown member.

That's an annual spending of over one billion won.

I know that, damn it!

- Right. - What kind of young girl

can go around splurging like that?

Whatever. Go.

Geez, it's been a while since I've felt this insecure.

What took you so long to pick up?

Get the car ready! Now!

Hello.

Gu-ho, make Lee Seon-mi smell a perfume sample.

We'll use Lee Seon-mi's allergies to induce coughing.

She's sensitive to scents.

What?

You have a strange standing posture.

Your upper body is crooked.

What on earth?

Hey. How dare you touch me?

I knew it.

You must've had pain in your shoulder.

Your complexion's not looking good, and you have swelling too.

Well, everyone in Korea has tech neck.

You probably have a dry cough too.

Oh my.

Go see a doctor now.

What? Are you a doctor or something?

Consult a thoracic surgeon.

A thoracic surgeon?

Wait!

For Christ's sake! What kind of obnoxious…

My goodness.

MY SON THE SUPER DOCTOR

What?

If this is about that girl, don't even think about it!

No, it's not that.

Gwang-sik didn't show up.

But he has surgeries to do today.

They aren't difficult ones,

so I found a way for other doctors to do them, but…

What if he's not here tomorrow either?

What if he never comes back?

Check his house first.

If he's not there, call his family in his hometown.

Mom, how could you swing…

a golf club at someone who relies on his hands?

Are you blaming me?

Geez, I can't believe this.

Everyone else's sons would leap at the chance to defend their moms.

But how can you still…

Hey.

Do you think I'm pathetic?

My goodness! People were right to say you're better off not having kids!

Gosh, my life was all in vain!

Okay. I'm sorry.

Don't be mad, Mom.

Whatever.

You know I hate hassles.

Yes. I know that very well.

Do whatever it takes

and bring him to me.

Okay?

Okay?

Answer me.

Okay.

I got it.

GWANG-SIK

The person you are calling is not available.

Gwang-sik, you idiot. Damn it.

I'll make them pay

for what they did…

to you.

Jae-hee, you can get surgery now.

Hang in there, Jae-hee.

Just a minute!

Seon-mi.

The glow of your skin is incredible.

If you have something good, share it with us.

I don't have anything.

I'm too busy to focus on any of that.

- Look at her act so coy. - Come on.

That coat!

Isn't that from Brada's latest collection?

You're right. And he's wearing Hermesha shoes.

That's so stylish.

He's totally my type!

But she's not interested in guys like that.

- You're sensitive to this, right? - Right.

That reminds me of her first love.

You mean that art major guy who smelled nice?

- Yeah. - Wasn't the cologne you liked then

called Atmos Black Noir?

Girl, you have a good memory.

Lee Seon-mi is very sensitive to smells.

And if it's the cologne that brings back tender memories

of her first love?

I produced a cologne that would lure her in.

Nothing works better to make a powerful impression.

Hello?

Yes.

This punk…

PERSONNEL CARD

I'll call you as soon as I find him.

The usual.

Yes, ma'am.

MAINTENANCE

There is a big decrease in VIP reservations.

It seems word has spread that surgeries are being delayed.

There were quite a lot of cancellations as well.

They say if Director Jo can't perform their surgeries,

they'll go to other hospitals.

Geez, Im Gwang-sik, that punk…

Im Gwang-sik is the problem, that damn punk!

He should've done the surgeries as I told him to.

How dare that brat from the gutter act so aloof.

Hey, have you done what I mentioned?

I haven't heard from them yet.

First, I need to find a replacement.

CHAIRMAN LEE SEON-MI

Hey, schedule a meet-up with Professor Lee and Professor Kim.

Gosh.

Geez.

- Nice shot. - Nice shot!

Professor Kim.

I'm doing well today.

Oh, right.

About what you mentioned…

Yes.

Well, do you know anyone good?

I mean, I'm swamped with patients,

but it's just impossible to find a skilled doctor right now.

I'm sure it is.

Our field is having a huge labor shortage.

Wait, there's Jae-hyeok.

He opened his own clinic last year,

but I heard he's going to close it.

No way. Says who?

Choi's clinic hit it big.

- Really? - Professor Kim.

Jae-hyeok!

We were actually talking about you.

I heard your clinic has been thriving lately.

No, it's not thriving.

Tell me when you have time, and I'll treat you for the whole day.

Coordinator Ma.

Hi, Jae-hyeok.

Oh my.

That man.

He's that guy from…

Okay, let's go.

Then…

Coordinator Ma, about the man you mentioned last time…

Who?

The chairman from China you mentioned.

You mean Chairman Wang?

Do you think you could bring him to my clinic?

I don't know. That's not something I can decide.

You need to meet the conditions he wants, like the size of the hospital,

the doctors' qualifications, and all that.

Of course.

I was asking you, because I know what you're like.

Put in a good word for me.

My goodness.

Anyway, I'll keep in touch.

Sure.

I did hear about this coordinator

who introduces the top 0.1% of VVIP patients to hospitals.

Was that him?

- Hey! Drive faster! - Yes, ma'am.

You're dead if you lose him.

- Step on the gas, you idiot! - Yes, ma'am.

How can I help the Chairman of Jaekyeong Hospital?

Well…

About the chairman from China…

How did you know that?

I'd like to invite him to Jaekyeong Hospital.

By the way, the cologne you're wearing…

Atmos Black Noir.

There aren't many people who use that.

- I'm sorry. I know we've just met. - I have some…

sad memories tied to that cologne.

I love it.

I had malatang for lunch.

After the meeting, I was thinking about having pork belly and soju.

Are you all up for it?

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi.

This is Director Jo Seong-woo.

He's the director.

The director. I see.

This way, please.

This way.

- Is the man in red Chairman Wang? - Yes.

He basically built all the elevators in Guangzhou.

- Elevators? - Yes.

I had hot and sour soup for lunch.

After the operation, I want pork belly.

And soju. Everyone in?

Sounds good.

There must be an issue with his business.

Do you understand them?

Given the vibe and talk about hot and sour soup, it's obvious.

I see.

It's the best-quality Tieguanyin tea.

Tea!

Gosh, thank you.

Oh my!

My goodness.

Is that…

Tell him we'll pay extra attention to take care of him.

- Sorry? - She says, "We'll pay extra attention."

Really?

Very good!

Thank you!

We're getting so many patients ever since Chairman Wang's visit.

I'm glad to hear that.

Oh my. There's more.

I think they're from the US.

Wait, there are people from Japan too.

This is great. Congratulations.

Do you have anything special?

Yes, coming right up.

- Please keep it coming. - Yes, I'll prepare it right away.

Oh no.

I forgot which one.

Damn it. Whatever.

Here you are.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

How about a love shot?

Love shot? Okay.

This is all thanks to you, Coordinator Ma.

Gosh, don't mention it.

Jaekyeong Hospital met all the conditions Chairman Wang asked for.

I'm the one who owes you.

Goodness, you're so well-spoken too.

SAMJIN COORDINATOR CHOI

- Let me answer this. - Sure.

Hello? How did it go?

I see.

Well, okay. Bye.

What? Is something wrong?

Well, let me make one call.

Sure.

Yes, Chairman Ju.

Chairman Ju… Chairman Ju?

Of Hanko Bio?

Yes. One second.

Yes, it's been confirmed that Rachel's in Korea.

I heard she pulled off Samjin's chairman's aortic arch replacement surgery as well.

His aortic dissection was pretty bad, but I knew she'd do it.

I did hear Samjin's CEO was in critical condition.

- That means… - Yes.

I'm trying to track her down to the best of my ability.

Please give me some more time.

Okay, bye.

Well, why bother looking for Rachel or whoever?

Just introduce them to us.

He's insistent on only seeing Rachel.

Is this Rachel that great?

Are you all right?

I've been under a lot of stress lately.

I'm okay.

You should relieve that stress.

Let's forget everything tonight and have fun.

Okay.

Are you sure this is the house special?

Yes, today's house special.

- What was that? - What was that sound?

What was that? Did she fart?

- Was that a fart? - What was that?

That was me. I did it.

She'd never do that.

That was me! Poot!

What on earth?

No one believes me?

How repulsive.

Seon-mi, let's go.

Such a society of distrust!

Can't we just trust one another?

I want to make this man mine.

Seon-mi.

- Yes? - Are you okay?

- Yes, I am. - Okay, straighten your arms and…

- Right. - Relax your shoulders.

- Straighten your shoulders. - Okay.

- Where? Is it your shoulders? - No, my shoulder blade is…

- Can we take a short break? - Sure.

- This way. - I'm so sorry.

Normally, I'm never like this.

- What's wrong with me today? - No worries.

It happens.

Shake it.

And the highlight.

Poot, poot, poot

Seon-mi.

- Where does it hurt? - My chest!

Your chest? I can't really help you with your chest.

- My chest! - My goodness.

- Let's go. - Hurry! Please!

- Get out of the way! - Mom.

- Mom! - Seong-woo!

- Mom, what's wrong? - I think I'm going to die!

Are you okay?

My stomach. It hurts here!

Mom, what happened? What's going on?

- Seong-woo! - Mom!

I'm dying.

- Help! - Seon-mi!

Okay.

WASH & HAPPY

Let's get started.

LEE SEON-MI JAEKYEONG HOSPITAL, CHAIRMAN

SENSITIVE TO SMELLS DEPARTMENT STORE VIP

Okay. I got through the firewall.

Spot the DICOM stream…

ENTERING PACS SERVER

Now, if I just switch the video…

Three, two, one.

Okay.

But…

How…

Hey, what is it?

It's an aortic aneurysm.

What?

What's that?

It looks like it's been developing for a while.

Have you had any discomfort in your shoulder blades,

chest pains, or a dry cough from the pressure on the blood vessel?

My shoulder blade is…

- My chest! - Your chest?

Your… Goodness, Seon-mi!

Then, what she said was…

You must've had pain in your shoulder. You have swelling too.

You probably have a dry cough too.

No, that's impossible.

What do you mean it's impossible? The result says so!

- How… - You need to get surgery right away.

- Right now? - Of course! You have to do it now.

Mom, this is like living with a time bomb in your chest.

You'll never know

when you'll go into shock or have a heart attack.

Really?

Then, I'd better get surgery right away.

Well, Dr. Jo is too busy, so…

Which one of you two will do it?

Are you both out of your minds?

The thing is,

this blood vessel is close to the coronary ostium.

The surgical area is narrow.

It's a complex surgery where any damage could lead to serious side effects.

- If Dr. Im Gwang-sik were here-- - That punk's not even here!

I mean…

Is that so?

Then, Dr. Jo,

you should make yourself available.

Lee Seon-mi totally took the bait.

- Yes! - Yes!

Yi-rang, this operation is great! This one's the best yet.

I've always been good, but this time, you did a good job.

What's with the sudden compliment?

Are you hiding something from me again?

Relax.

I'm getting more anxious.

The key to this operation

was to find out how to draw out the symptoms naturally.

Only then, when I mention the name of the illness,

she'll believe it and go, "Right! That's what I have!"

But for her shoulder pain,

I didn't have to do anything about it since she loves golf.

And this ephedra here.

It's good for your respiratory system.

But if you take too much, it induces dry coughs.

Exactly.

Mom, don't worry too much.

I'll call around and look for a doctor at a different hospital.

No! Geez, you crazy…

Hey, are you insane?

Looking for another doctor when I have you is ridiculous.

That's not what matters!

What matters is keeping you alive!

You little… No.

"The mother of top surgeon Jo Seong-woo."

"The chairman of the great Jaekyeong Hospital."

Without these titles…

then there's no point in living.

Got it, you punk?

- Damn it. - For Christ's sake!

What the…

FOUND HIM AT YONGJU-SI HANWOL RESERVOIR FISHING HOLE

They found the bastard!

- What's with you, you punk? - Mom, don't worry too much.

I'll talk some sense into Gwang-sik and bring him back.

Just leave it to me.

Damn it, Gwang-sik…

Im Gwang-sik.

My mom

has an aortic aneurysm.

So what?

Hey.

You know you're the only doctor who has the skills.

So, what if I perform her surgery?

Planning to go on TV as a great doctor who saved his mother?

Hey.

That's not it, man.

I can't do it.

No, I won't do it.

Come on, Gwang-sik.

So, are you going to let her die? She's my mom.

What if I make a mistake with the scissors and her blood vessel ruptures?

What if something goes wrong again?

Hey, come on.

That wasn't your fault. That was…

Fine. I'll admit it.

You were short on sleep because of all the surgeries you had to do for me--

Do you really think I'm not at fault?

Wait, Gwang-sik.

Damn it, come on!

Hey.

Please save my mom.

If you do her surgery, I'll do anything you want.

Please?

Look, Seong-woo.

Hey…

What happened?

My life as a doctor is over.

I ended it with my own hands.

Oh no!

Am I really going to die like this?

My phone.

Where is my phone?

So,

about the person Chairman Ju is looking for…

You mean Rachel?

Right. Was her name Rachel?

What's so special about her to cause everyone to make such a fuss?

She's basically a concierge doctor.

She's not tied to one hospital. She moves freely based on client requests.

And her clients are influential big shots in politics and finance around the world.

Rachel is the most skilled ghost doctor.

Anyway, why do you ask about her?

Do you think

she could perform surgery on me too?

What?

But your son is the highest authority in major artery surgeries.

The thing is…

I see. Of course.

No matter how talented he may be,

it's not easy to perform surgery on one's own mother.

I should've known better.

That's such a great excuse. Why didn't I think of that?

Gosh, yes. Of course, my son is outstanding.

But if anything goes wrong,

I'm scared it would scar my son for the rest of his life.

That's why.

So can't I have Rachel do my surgery?

- To tell you the truth-- - Yeah! Just tell me the truth.

The cost is beyond what you can imagine.

Geez, I suddenly feel offended now.

Did you think I was that cheap?

Do you think I wouldn't be able to pay that much for my life?

That's not it. It really is unimaginable.

I'm saying it doesn't matter how much!

If I have to sell my house or land, I'll get the money!

- Don't worry about that-- - No, it's not even that.

It's really beyond--

- Excuse me. - But--

Hello?

Yes.

How much could it even be?

Damn it, I'll find her number on my own.

I'll find…

Go see a doctor now.

Consult a thoracic surgeon.

What?

Is this Rachel?

Okay. Bye.

It's her.

Seon-mi, what are you doing?

Coordinator Ma, I know this woman!

I know it's not much, but…

This is the number I use to call her when the item she wants comes in.

But please don't tell her that I gave it to you.

Of course, I won't.

- Let's go. - Wait.

What?

Are you well enough to go?

I've received a death sentence. Nothing can stop me.

- Who says you're going to die? - Oh, you! Let's go now.

Be careful.

Oh no! Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine. - Okay.

- Hurry up. - Okay.

Be careful.

Goodness.

I'm sorry for the trouble of taking the long way because of me.

Don't worry. Watch out.

- I said I'm fine. - Okay.

Is it this way or that way?

- Yes, it's this way. - Which way?

This way.

- By the way… - Yes?

Didn't you say we were almost there?

- We really are almost there. - Okay.

- Gosh, the crows… - I don't even go on amusement park rides.

- Really? - Yes, I'm scared of heights.

I see.

- Are you okay? - Why is it shaking so much?

- It's not too bad, right? - But I'm walking carefully.

I'm walking so carefully, but why is it shaking?

Are you okay?

Towards your legs.

There she is. That's Rachel.

The one in the very front?

- Yes, that's right. - I see.

After surgery,

she always comes to the mountains to train with her team.

That's her routine.

My goodness.

It's too late now.

Late?

What do you mean?

What do you mean late?

Are you saying she has no chance even with surgery?

It's because…

Chairman Ju already came by.

What?

She means she's already booked.

It doesn't mean you have no chance.

What a relief.

- And here, I thought… My goodness. - This is great.

Chairman Ju? Then…

No, it wasn't me.

Someone that great wouldn't have just inquired with me.

Please don't get me wrong.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

What a shame. Is the location that bad?

Is it in a different place?

It's near the left collarbone.

And the angiostenosis is too severe.

If we don't stop the blockage of blood flow in time,

- it would cause serious brain damage. - That's right.

Yeah.

What? Brain damage?

No.

Dr. Rachel, please help me.

Please.

I'm begging you.

Please, Doctor!

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Doctor, no!

- Don't go. Please. - Goddamn it!

Doctor!

- What are you doing? - Geez!

- Don't touch her! - Let go!

- Let her go! - Move!

- Doctor! - Let her go!

Please don't go, Doctor!

- Please, I'm begging you. - Damn, that hurts.

Doctor, please.

Hey, has Chairman Ju transferred the money yet?

I'll pay you the rest after surgery.

He promised to deposit $2 million by 3:00 p.m.

Two million dollars is 2.8 billion won.

For just one surgery?

By 3:00 p.m.?

Chairman Ju's life is worth $2 million?

Then, how much is my life worth?

Shall we get going?

- Sure. - Okay.

Seon-mi.

Are you going to give up on Rachel like this?

I'll pay you $2.5 million!

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM SUN-YOUNG, HA JUN, AND JUNG YONG-IN

- It'll go well, right? - Of course.

- What do we do? - What else?

- Let's pack it in! - Pack it in!

What on earth? They haven't even made a cut yet?

He noticed you haven't cut her yet.

Hey, gather around. Huddle up

I think we're being filmed.

What do we do?

We might as well do the surgery.

All we have to do is not kill her.
