DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

-Aunt. -I'm fine. Hurry.

Aunt.

-I-- -Save the patient.

Hurry and operate.

Su-jeong.

You can do this.

Aunt.

You promised to teach me how to do a multi-organ transplant for graduation.

A solo surgery, no less.

Tell me what you said to me that day.

There's no one else.

It's just you.

You won't always have

a primary surgeon, assistant,

anesthesiologist, circulator,

and scrub nurse for every surgery.

A doctor

never leaves

their patient's side.

It's their obligation.

That's why

we became doctors.

What else?

Aunt, keep talking.

Don't fall asleep.

If you fail…

you cost three people their lives.

The one who donated this heart.

The one here

who is receiving this heart.

And…

the other person who could have

received this heart.

Yes. That's right.

Aunt!

Focus!

Right now,

you're all this patient has.

You're everything to them.

That's what it means

to be a doctor.

Focus.

Yes, Doctor.

DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

Let me repeat that.

The vote must clear an 80%…

An 80% majority.

They probably haven't begun resection yet.

Voting will now begin.

We'll start with the front rows.

Can you…

No, I can't.

This is the best I can do.

Can't you go faster?

I'll… I'll try.

Metz.

Tie off that spot, please.

Oh, okay.

-Hand me a tie. -Yes, sir.

I need to go faster…

TIME: 01:41 P.M.

They must be voting right now.

POLLING BOOTH

2:11 P.M. SUNDAY, MAY 3

Why aren't Director Bu and Dr. Bae getting up?

Man…

WAITING ROOM

Mi-gyeong.

They're okay, right?

They're in the middle of a long tunnel.

They could really use some extra hands.

Director Bu.

Dr. Bae.

Aren't you going to vote?

Get up already!

ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF INTERNS AND RESIDENTS SUBMITTING THEIR RESIGNATIONS?

Damn it.

Director, you're going the wrong way!

What's he doing?

Right now,

there's only one OR in our hospital with a surgery underway.

It's OR 7.

Right now, the smallest child is lying

in our largest operating room.

That child

was rejected repeatedly by the main hospital,

our own surgical team,

and several other hospitals as well.

But today,

that child is receiving the surgery no one else would do.

The procedure involves

taking six organs out of the body,

resecting the tumor,

and then putting them back in.

It's called multivisceral ex vivo tumor resection and autotransplantation.

And it's an outrageous procedure.

But this is that child's last resort.

Ladies and gentlemen.

If we are doctors…

If we are real surgeons,

where should we be right now?

In this voting room, putting our patients' lives on the line?

Or…

in that operating room?

This is my decision.

Has he lost his mind?

What are you doing? Stop him!

You know, right?

Gye Su-jeong is doing that multivisceral ex vivo procedure.

But even she needs help with this.

-Dr. Bae… -Your niece is seven, right?

This kid is eight.

You'll feel guilty when you go home and see your niece.

Trust me on this, okay?

Seong-gyu.

Let's go help.

Dr. Bae.

Stop talking nonsense.

Go and bring the director back.

And you, hurry up and get on with it!

All the votes are in.

We'll begin counting…

What the hell? Have they lost their minds?

Where is OR 7?

Come on…

Dr. Do, pick up the pace. We're tight on time.

I'm doing my absolute best right now.

I'm frustrated too!

Focus, please.

Yes, Doctor.

Man…

Can the three of us really pull this off?

Save the questions and pick up the pace.

Dr. Jo, please page someone.

Disciplinary action or not,

I can't believe no one came.

Director Bu and Dr. Bae!

We're going to make it!

Hyeon-a, you're going to make it.

I'm going to make it too!

You've progressed twice as fast as I expected.

Should've been three times faster.

You're really something…

-Who are you? -Grab the harmonic.

Or cut with the Metz and tie off.

Wait, you sound like…

Ms. Jang?

Director Jang Hui-suk?

Please stop talking

and get in here already!

Thank you, Director.

Thank you so much. All of you are the best!

But if you're here, Director…

You voted before coming, right?

Right?

The overwhelming 92% approval rate

reflects the deep anxiety and hardship

young doctors have felt in this profession.

If the government unjustly punishes us over this issue,

we will stand united, not as doctors, but as citizens.

We became doctors

to save patients in pain…

Right now,

there's only one OR in our hospital with a surgery underway.

It's OR 7.

Right now, the smallest child is lying

in our largest operating room.

…to save patients in pain

and to contribute to Korea's medical advancement

as well as

its public health…

Good job. I'll take it from here.

Now then.

The current administration is pushing through

this faulty policy without any dialogue,

silencing its critics,

and abusing its power to intimidate us.

Is this what they call communication?

But this is that child's last resort.

If we are doctors…

If we are real surgeons,

where should we be right now?

Seong-gyu.

Let's go help.

Let's show them we won't back down!

EXPANDING QUOTA RUINS EDUCATION

Why am I so hot?

It's really cold, but I'm burning up.

-Should I wipe your forehead? -Not yet.

I think we're in the final stretch.

Can you hear me, Director?

Wait. Is that you, Dr. Do?

I thought you went to the restroom.

You've got a lot of nerve coming here.

Come on, you know better.

What are you doing here instead of voting?

The IRB hasn't even approved this surgery.

What am I looking at? Are those organs?

Are you insane?

This is a direct violation of our hospital and foundation ethics!

Stop the surgery!

How is it ethical to close someone up mid-surgery?

I told you to stop the surgery!

Ms. Lee Hyeon-a has never been to school.

She's never given her mom any trouble.

I hope Hyeon-a grows up to be a huge troublemaker for her mom.

I'm going to make sure

Hyeon-a gets to grow up.

We'll need to drag them out

or bring in private security.

Do it.

Gu Bon-pyeong!

On my authority as director,

we're seeing this surgery through to the end.

Director Bu Seung-gwon!

You just made a terrible mistake… No, a terrible choice!

You call the chairman of the foundation and Magnolia by his name?

-Dr. Jo, do what you do best. -That damn title

must've gone to your head!

How dare you…

What's the matter with you?

What the hell?

-They turned off the mic? -Let's go.

-Are you serious? -Damn it.

I'll call in private security.

Hey, call management.

There's a CCTV camera in there.

What?

So what?

It's pediatric surgery.

If anyone goes in to stop it or contaminates the OR,

and the footage gets leaked to the public,

it won't be good for the strike.

Those damn CCTV cameras…

We need a valid reason to take them down for good.

And I'm going to make sure they stay down.

Call a meeting.

Yes, sir.

Beginning reconstruction.

Dr. Kim.

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

-Damn it. -Hey, everyone.

I'm finally… I'm here…

What can I do, Dr. Jo?

I knew you'd show up, so I texted you not to.

Even the director is here.

But who is that over there?

Stop whispering and start moving.

-The organs are going back in. -Okay, got it.

IVC reconstructed with a synthetic graft.

Now we re-implant the organs.

Yes, Doctor.

OPERATION TIME, TIME, ANESTHESIA TIME

Clamps coming off.

-Is the saline ready? -Yes.

Coming off now.

Keep going. This is important.

-Yes, Doctor. -No signs of bleeding.

The sutures are holding.

This part always puts me on edge.

Right?

If the organs don't pink up, it means they're damaged.

Which means all the work we've done,

plus Hyeon-a's organs…

Will just go to waste.

Why… why isn't the color returning?

Am I the only one not seeing it?

Prep more saline. Make it warmer.

Yes, sir.

Come on, Hyeon-a!

-Check for clots on the ultrasound? -Yes.

Hey, it's back! The color's returning!

BP?

It hasn't dropped.

Let's turn off the shunt.

I'll do it!

She looks so…

Small.

She's so…

Very small.

Hyeon-a.

Hyeon-a…

You did a great job.

Dr. Gye.

Surgery is complete.

A great job hanging in there…

Nicely done.

Everyone…

-Thank you-- -Please don't bow!

We all ended up here because you bowed.

Stop acting out of character.

Just do what you usually do and leave.

How did it go?

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Thank you, Dr. Gye! -Thank you, Dr. Gye!

Good job.

Not handling it well, is she?

It's no wonder.

She didn't do it to get thanks.

Right. That's our Su-jeong.

Man, what the heck?

I got a leg cramp.

Dr. Kim.

You just betrayed everything we stand for as doctors.

It's just a habit.

We all experienced the miracle

of our grandmothers using folk remedies to…

Wait a minute. I got another cramp.

Give me a break. You showed up at the end.

It's been a while since I operated.

If we put it that way, the same goes for you, Dr. Bae.

You weren't there from the start either.

I knew it.

Ms. Jang and I are on the same wavelength.

Let's go, everyone.

What? Go where?

Work dinner, of course.

Work dinner?

Dr. Gye and Ms. Jang are buying dinner

because we worked so hard.

-Really? -Let's go!

-That was unexpected. -Yeah. Let's go.

Here, take this.

-Eung-gu, we need pickled radish here too. -Got it.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Attention, everyone.

With the strike going on,

everything around the hospital closed early.

This was the closest place open this late.

I saw open Korean BBQ places on the way here.

I saw at least two.

Right, that's why

I ordered all 25 items on the menu.

So don't hold back and enjoy the food.

Thank you so much for today, everyone.

-Good job. -Good job, everyone.

And don't forget to take my business card afterward.

All right. Cheers!

-Cheers! -Great job, everyone.

-Good job. -Good job.

-Nice work. -Nice work.

Great job, everyone.

You too.

Excuse me, everyone.

As a doctor,

I…

I was really moved--

Let's eat.

-Let's eat. -Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Take your time eating.

No one's taking your food away.

This place is open 24 hours, right?

Yes. Are you asking so you can eat for 24 hours straight?

Sleep, wake up, eat, and repeat?

That's a question only you'd ask, Dr. Gye.

They say there's no paradise to escape to,

but look at the name here.

It's "Gimbap Paradise."

GIMBAP PARADISE

This is Su-jeong's paradise.

This is good. It's all good.

Yes, it's good.

Director, do you eat snack bar food?

It's been a while, but it's good.

-Everyone, please eat. -Right.

It's been a while since we shared a meal like this

after surviving the trenches.

So let's eat.

Yes, sir. Let's eat!

Thank you, Dr. Do.

Dr. Gye.

You did very good work today.

Thank you, sir.

Look at you, being all nice and social.

Excuse me, everyone.

When you came today, I felt so…

I felt so…

I was just so…

Seriously, thank you so much.

Did that yogurt make you drunk?

Seriously? Work dinner at a snack bar?

In that case, I'm having rabokki first.

Everything tastes good after a hard day's work, right?

Put it down. I've had my eye on that.

Have the jjolbokki. It's the same thing.

-Dr. Gye wanted it too. -Hey!

Director Bu wants some.

-No, this is for Dr. Gye. -I can't trick you.

I'm having the pork cutlet.

Dr. Bae, can you pass the dumplings?

-This? -Yes.

-Here. -Thank you.

-This is good. -It's delicious.

Drink some water too.

You'll get indigestion.

This sauce is really good.

-Don't rush. -Any beer?

Are you going to cry?

What do you mean?

Is it because Su-jeong made friends?

Friends? They're just colleagues.

Su-jeong doesn't look lonely, does she?

-Drink some water. -It's nice.

-Can I have the pork cutlet? -Go ahead.

I'm seriously good at it.

-Really? -Yeah.

-Want to see? -Right now?

-Oh, come on. -Watch me.

-Are you ready? -Just watch.

You're good!

Can I try it too?

-Of course! -Really?

Can you catch a dumpling?

-Dumpling? Definitely. -Are you sure?

-I can do a dumpling. -I'll toss one then.

One, two, three.

I'll set her down here.

Goodness.

Here we go.

-She's totally out. -Goodness.

-Oh dear. -Are you okay?

I'm okay. Gosh, my back hurts.

When did she get so heavy?

Eung-gu.

You get to carry her onto the bus.

I knitted so much at the hospital earlier

that my eyes are killing me.

-My back is killing me too. -Seriously?

-I'll carry her. -No, it's fine.

Between planning the surgery and stressing over it,

she probably hasn't slept in days.

Thank you for taking care of Su-jeong.

Not at all. I'm the one who should be thankful.

-Oh, this is good. -What?

Your bus arrives before ours, Dr. Park.

I'll go after I see you off.

No, it's okay. There are four of us here.

But you're alone.

We can't just leave you here.

It's lonely waiting for the bus alone.

By the way, Ms. Jang…

How did you end up teaching and caring for your niece?

Well, actually…

We're not related by blood.

What? Really?

Then how…

She's the daughter of my closest friend.

After she passed away,

it just kind of happened.

She was my savior, you know.

She took me in as family.

Su-jeong is the only family I have.

I mean, we have.

Your family reminds me of my own.

-What? -What?

Then are you…

My parents used to volunteer at a children's home.

They said I was always sitting in the corner,

showing no emotion at all.

They were so heartbroken that they would cry at home all the time.

But I don't remember any of that.

I just wonder if I really did that.

Anyway, they said

all they wanted was to take me in and make me smile.

Of course. They wanted to give you a warm bed,

dress you in warm clothes,

and feed you warm meals.

Right.

I guess all parents think alike.

Having a family

is really wonderful.

I realized the same after finding myself with one.

It's wonderful.

Dr. Park, thank you so much for today.

No, not at all.

You know…

I don't think I'll ever forget today.

This was…

the closest I've felt to being a doctor.

-Bus 320 will be arriving shortly. -Oh.

I'll get going now.

Goodbye, young doctor.

Goodbye, sir.

-Get home safely. -I will.

He's leaving. No, this way.

He's over there.

Where's my phone?

DAD MOM

MOM: ARE YOU STILL AT THE HOSPITAL?

Son, I know you must be busy.

Still, I'm getting worried because I can't reach you.

Are you eating okay?

I miss hearing your voice.

DAD

Your mom is worried because you're not picking up.

I told her to stop calling you because studying to be a doctor is hard.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm not sick.

I'll call Mom later.

ONYU NURSING HOME

It's just us for round two!

Sounds great.

Here we go.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Today's surgery

was probably the director's last.

He's losing his central vision.

Oh dear…

Hold on. Are you crying?

No. It's not a full-on sob session.

It's just…

What I did today feels like a dream.

I'm a doctor by profession,

but I don't think I've ever lived as a real doctor.

But today,

I saved a person.

I saved the life of a child.

You save lives every single day.

All of us do.

Right.

You're right.

I guess…

it's been a long time since I've thought about that.

The burden of holding

a human life in my hands.

Or maybe I've just been avoiding it…

since I'm incompetent.

Come on. You only had one sip of beer!

Today…

I was a doctor.

Yes, you were.

What? Is it funny seeing me cry?

No, it's not that.

The way the director yelled,

"Gu Bon-pyeong!"

It was so satisfying!

Did you see Kim Chang-su's face?

I hate that jerk even more.

I forgot tomorrow was coming.

Is it starting to hit you now?

Yeah.

I think Director Bu lost his mind.

-And I'm about to lose it myself. -Same here.

We all lost our minds today.

Still,

tomorrow is a whole new day.

And after today, days like yesterday

are over for good.

Damn it, I'm still screwed.

Man…

I LOVE YOU, UNCLE

You've grown.

But you're still less than six spans tall.

Why are you so small?

Your niece is seven, right?

This kid is eight.

You'll feel guilty when you go home

and see your niece.

Trust me on this, okay?

Seong-gyu. Let's go help.

Damn it.

He was right.

Dr. Bae, how was the surgery…

DR. BAE HEUNG-GON

Dr. Bae, I'm sorry about earlier…

Dr. Bae, how is the child…

Surgery went well.

The child has a chance now.

Seong-gyu.

Take care of yourself.

GUSEO UNIVERSITY SEONAM MEDICAL CENTER

Something's off.

Why is it so quiet?

So I'm not the only one who feels this way.

You don't startle me anymore.

I knew you'd come, Buzzkill Won-jin.

It's weird, right?

There's no one in front of the hospital.

No reporters,

no patients, and no doctors.

There are days like this.

Maybe it's because yesterday was hectic.

It feels unusually peaceful today.

What?

Huh?

PERSONNEL CHANGES

SUSPENSION FROM DUTIES

BU SEUNG-GWON, DO YUN-SIK, BAE HEUNG-GON, JO WON-JIN, KIM SEONG-JIN, PARK TAE-GYEONG

CONTRACT TERMINATION GENERAL SURGERY, GYE SU-JEONG

Damn it.

So, after ignoring our repeated requests,

the IRB suddenly decided to convene

and review yesterday's procedure?

And we're all suspended from duties until then?

Emergency or not, if you perform an unapproved procedure,

you're still subject to a post hoc review.

You know that.

But a post hoc review doesn't automatically suspend you from duties.

This is just a disciplinary hearing.

So why…

Why did you do that yesterday?

What got into you, Director?

If I'm suspended from duties…

I have to leave this office, right?

The meeting is taking place this evening.

You should talk to the chairman and Magnolia members beforehand--

I know who the internal members are.

But there are external multidisciplinary members too.

Who are they?

The external medical expert is

President Kim Chang-su of the Medical Association.

And the patient representative is Chairman Park Gwang-cheol.

Aren't people with direct conflicts of interest supposed to be excluded?

The legal expert is Attorney Won Ju-pil.

I see.

Do you know him?

He's the attorney for Magnolia.

Oh…

Let's eat.

Am I a glutton for enjoying pizza

at a time like this?

No, that'd be her.

Hey, excuse me.

How about a reaction? Give me some credit for treating you guys.

"There's a burst of basil in every bite!"

"You can never go wrong with pizza."

"Dr. Kim, you're the best!"

Like this, Dr. Gye.

Dr. Kim, you're the best!

I texted you not to come to the OR because we had enough doctors.

Why did you insist on coming?

You barely did anything, and now you're facing discipline.

Why do you always march to the beat of your own drum?

Gosh, this tastes good.

How did you know?

I played the drum in the samulnori club before I joined the theater club.

Call me if you need someone to put on a show.

And what do you mean I barely did anything?

I did all sorts of things.

We begged them to approve the procedure,

but they refused due to the strike.

Still, we submitted everything we had put together,

so it'll be okay, right?

I doubt it.

Did you tell Ms. Jang?

-Yes. -I bet she got really mad.

"I got fired. The IRB is convening."

"Okay. See you later."

"We'll wait and see."

That's even scarier.

Since I got fired,

I can clock out, right?

Instead of beating a drum, can you beat some sense into her?

Yesterday was my first time seeing Dr. Gye operate.

She was so impressive

that I didn't recognize her and almost introduced myself.

I guess that side of her is still in the OR.

What are we going to do?

We were all trying to save a patient.

We'll need to take responsibility as doctors and as adults.

I'm ready to face any outcome.

I'm fine as long as Hyeon-a's okay.

The patient might sue depending on the IRB's decision.

Really?

Do you really think Hyeon-a's mother will sue us?

Even though Hyeon-a stands a chance now?

Dr. Jo, what made you this way?

You have zero faith in patients.

I bet that's why the hospital is empty right now.

Lack of faith between patients and doctors.

Hello?

I'm outside on hospital grounds.

Take them in.

No, take them. I'll be right there.

See you.

You're suspended from duties. You can't take patients.

A big fire broke out at the building near the park intersection.

You know the firefighter who always comes to the ER?

-They're bringing him in. -Dr. Kim!

You'll face even more disciplinary action!

I don't care if I'm suspended. I need to go!

I saw pork cutlet on today's lunch menu.

Does this mean I can't eat it?

Jeez…

Are you on your way to eat pork cutlet?

If this means I can't check on Hyeon-a, that's not good either.

Come with me.

I got fired, but you only got suspended.

All right, wait up.

We need to check on our patient.

BONGBONG AUTO REPAIR SHOP

11:30 A.M. MONDAY, MAY 4

SEMINAR ROOM

We had such a good time eating tteokbokki yesterday.

Are they still talking?

Do we go in when they call us?

I'm not sure.

-Is the meeting over? -A while ago.

They wrapped it up quickly.

Then why did they call us?

Man…

Look who it is. The heroes from yesterday's surgery.

Take a seat.

What on earth made you do that?

If you won't give us a chance to explain,

why did you call us here?

We heard you were right outside,

so it only seemed right to tell you directly.

The thing is,

pushing through such a high-risk surgery

created far too many chances for something to go wrong.

The IRB was already aware of the risks involved in this surgery,

which is why they kept postponing the meeting.

All the more reason to call a meeting and discuss it sooner.

And yet, you disregarded it to proceed with the surgery

and put the patient in danger.

Bringing in unauthorized outside medical personnel

was also a major issue.

She was there on my authority.

We took that into account as well.

You barely know that person.

The OR is sacred. How could you let just anyone come in?

Unbelievable.

We temporarily suspended you from duties while we wait for the meeting's outcome,

based on the reasonable suspicion that this might happen again.

But then I heard Dr. Kim took patients.

Am I supposed to do nothing when there's a critical patient?

The hospital is short-staffed because of the strike.

If you suspend us for doing our job, who's left to work?

Dr. Jo Won-jin.

You planned the surgery from the start together with Dr. Gye Su-jeong.

It looks like you had no intention of not doing the surgery.

The same goes for you, Dr. Park.

Yes, sir.

I don't regret taking part in the surgery.

You don't regret it?

Dr. Do and Dr. Bae.

Is that how you feel too?

What happened yesterday was an emergency situation.

We had no other option. We only did it out of desperation.

We will face whatever the outcome is.

But please consider that a child's life was on the line--

Director Bu Seung-gwon, relieved of position.

Dr. Do Yun-sik, two-month disciplinary suspension.

Dr. Bae Heung-gon, one-month disciplinary suspension.

Dr. Jo Won-jin, three-month disciplinary suspension.

Dr. Kim Seong-jin, one-month disciplinary suspension.

Dr. Park Tae-gyeong, two-month disciplinary suspension.

-And-- -Dr. Park is an intern.

Two months is severe disciplinary action.

That's absolutely unfair to an intern who only has a year

to complete his department rotations.

Gye Su-jeong.

Contract termination remains in effect.

If something goes wrong…

If something happens to that kid--

Hyeon-a.

Lee Hyeon-a.

Patient outcome aside,

this comes down to the ethics of medical practice.

Is putting the patient's life on the line with a reckless surgery

solely and purely in the patient's best interest?

That was our main focus.

Most importantly,

we're wrapping this up before health authorities investigate,

so just accept the consequences.

The med school quota issue and strike are bad enough.

Let's end it here before they pick us apart.

Oh, right.

Bu Seung-gwon… I mean, Dr. Bu.

Why don't you try that door in your office today?

It's your last day there,

so you might as well try it out.

What's this?

Is the meeting over already?

That's a shame. I was looking forward to it.

-And you are? -Oh.

Hello, I'm Jang Hui-suk.

Oh, the melon lady.

If you want some melon or if you're looking for a job,

hold onto my business card.

Oh, and this is Ms. Lee Hyeon-a's mother.

Goodness, hello.

-Let's get going. -Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Has the disciplinary action been decided?

Ma'am.

It must have been so stressful for you.

Disciplinary action has been finalized.

Just focus on your child now.

We're busy, so please excuse us.

My child's surgery yesterday

was dangerous and shouldn't have been attempted.

Is that what today's decision means?

Yes, that's basically it.

Then I would like to sue.

I'd like to sue the primary surgeon and everyone else who was in the OR.

Of course.

We won't stop you from taking legal action.

The IRB's opinion carries legal weight.

We can provide the materials whenever--

I'm suing Guseo University Medical Center and the Guseo Foundation as well.

We were at the main hospital at first.

But they sent us here, saying there were no other options.

It felt like they just dumped us here.

If the main hospital hadn't recklessly sent us here,

my child wouldn't have had that surgery.

Ma'am, let's discuss this later--

Also,

I'm suing the hospital's foundation for hiring the doctor

who performed such a risky surgery.

I'm going to sue all parties involved.

Today's disciplinary action is proof of liability, right?

Why would I sue Dr. Gye?

She's the only doctor who treated Hyeon-a.

Not just her. Everyone.

Tell them you'll sue the hospital and the foundation behind it.

Me?

That way, Dr. Gye can continue to work here

and monitor Hyeon-a.

Ma'am, I understand your frustration,

but there's no point. It's like throwing eggs at a boulder.

Patients always lose in these lawsuits--

You don't throw eggs to break a boulder.

What?

You want the egg splatter to leave a mark.

You want it to rot and reek as time goes by

so it never washes off.

Dr. Gye.

No one will wash it off.

And more eggs will get thrown at it.

Then people will point at it and say…

"This is it."

"This is the place that reeks."

They put the disciplinary action on hold.

Thank you.

But it's just on hold, not dropped.

They're just trying to save face.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you.

Not at all.

You saved my daughter, Dr. Gye.

I had to return the favor.

I should go now.

One more thing.

Dr. Gye.

Yes?

Can you say it to me again?

I know it might not be enough

after everything Hyeon-a has been through…

But still…

I don't ever…

fail.

Thank you.

LEE HYEON-A, F/8

PRIMARY PHYSICIAN: GYE SU-JEONG

MAIN BUILDING WALL CONSTRUCTION

I was only suspended for a day,

but it made me appreciate my job more.

-That's how I feel. -But you actually took in patients.

The firefighter and most of them are okay.

But one is brain dead.

They're an organ donor,

and the family already knows,

so the transplant coordinator has been making calls.

If they can afford to put something like this up,

they ought to finish the construction instead.

Are you guys staying?

Well, see you.

"Gu Yeo-rim."

"First director of Guseo Medical Center."

"Prede…"

"Prede…"

"Predecessor

of Guseo University Medical Center."

-"A pio…" -"A pioneer."

"A pioneer for women in…"

"Medicine."

"She led the expansion

of gynecological care."

Keep reading.

I learned how to say this in Korean.

Chukhahamnida.

It's been a real privilege to work with a surgeon like you.

Now you're going back home to receive a new heart.

Congratulations. I truly mean it.

-Really? -Yes.

Wait, that means…

He's coming here to get a transplant.

We get to see him in person?

But why come here of all places?

Why not somewhere else?

What do you mean? What's wrong with our hospital?

What's wrong?

What is it?

What's going on? Did something happen to Su-jeong?

Who's this man?

"Kim Seung-hyo."

"A graduate of Guseo University and a surgeon who founded

the medical volunteer organization, White Wings Medical Corps."

"He provided humanitarian care and medical aid in impoverished countries,

earning him a Nobel Prize nomination."

"Saving countless children with his exceptional skill,

he is revered as a true physician of our time

with a golden heart and the hands of God."

Let's go now.

You read so well, Ga-eul.

KIM SEUNG-HYO FOUNDER OF WHITE WINGS MEDICAL CORPS

Why does he insist on having surgery at this hospital?

Doesn't he have limited mobility?

He says both his guardian and the surgeon he wants

are at our hospital.

Who's the guardian?

PROUD FIGURES OF GUSEO

It's Dr. Jo Won-jin.

Dr. Jo Won-jin?

Then who's the surgeon?

The one who performed his first transplant.

Dr. Gye Su-jeong.

Aunt.

Aunt, wake up!

Aunt!

TWO DAYS LATER

PATIENT: KIM SEUNG-HYO PRIMARY SURGEON: GYE SU-JEONG

PATIENT: KIM SEUNG-HYO PRIMARY SURGEON: GYE SU-JEONG

Park Tae-gyeong.

Park Tae-gyeong!

It's been a long time…

Doctor X.

DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

It's been a long time, sir.

I just stood there watching.

But Dr. Gye saved his life again.

I heard Dr. Kim Seung-hyo personally requested Gye Su-jeong.

Who on earth is Gye Su-jeong?

She said he told her to come.

All of the children I met back then…

Dad is a monster.

I need you to get up here right now!

Dr. Gye.

Please. Just this once.

Could you please fail?
