Original subtitles

Dr. Park.

Hey.

Hey!

Good girl.

Your name is Eun-ok, right?

Eun-ok.

We'll fix you so you won't be in pain anymore.

-Goodness! -Doctor!

What's going on?

She's a bit unusual.

You can't even control a kid?

But she's extremely strong.

She bites and smells awful!

-Can she understand you? -No.

We can't communicate with her at all.

Get her.

Sorry?

Gil-nam.

-Get me Lorazepam. -Yes, sir.

That's too strong for a child.

We must calm her down to examine her.

-I'll calm her down. -You want to get hurt more?

I'm okay. Let me try again.

No.

Here.

Dr. Park, what are you doing?

-Jin-uk. -Hold on.

Give him a minute.

Start.

One.

Two.

-Three! -Dang it.

Grab her!

Please, leave her alone. Leave her alone!

Dang it!

Did Pediatrics do a checkup on her?

No, since they couldn't communicate with her either.

They contacted us because of the blood blister by her belly button.

Are you her guardian?

Yes, I am for now.

-"For now"? -Yes.

I'm Oh Han-su from Child Services.

We received a report, so I went and rescued her.

Let's talk about it later.

Okay.

Run a blood test, a sonogram and CT scan on her abdomen, if necessary.

Dr. Cha, give her some antibiotics.

Yes, sir. I'll report on her condition as soon as I'm done.

You're lucky it's not too serious.

It looks like a real dog bite.

Why did you crawl to Eun-ok earlier?

It's animal communication.

You're really treating her like a dog?

You crawled to match her eye level? That's why you did it?

Technically, it's to match her frequency.

Frequency?

Yes.

You must align your heart with the animal's,

so that the magnetic field by your heart

overlaps with that of the animal's heart.

Then it's easier to communicate.

That's the first rule of animal communication.

Our heart has the highest current in our body.

It's about 100 times that of the brain.

-So if you concentrate-- -Enough.

I get it,

but don't say that in front of the Dr. Kim.

And...

Look how wimpy your arms are.

They're like toothpicks.

Work out a little.

Why do you keep hiccupping?

Do you feel okay?

I... I'm fine. I'm fine.

SUNGWON FOUNDATION

How can they cease funding for no reason like that?

Of course, they have a reason.

Everyone knows that Seongwon Foundation is insolvent.

We may not be as strong as before,

-but we're not insolvent. -Oh, please.

Try listening to the word on the street.

You make it sound like it's none of your business.

How could you say that?

When did I do that?

You've always been that way.

Please, let's all calm down.

This isn't the time to fight among ourselves.

This may affect other sponsors as well.

First, let's resolve issues that may hurt the hospital.

Like medical disputes and complaints from families.

Won't this worsen the hospital's financial situation?

And Woomyung is our hospital's largest sponsor.

I think the hospital needs to take action too.

Like what, in particular?

Merging struggling departments or getting rid of them.

Pediatric Surgery is the only department in the red.

It may be better to send it to the Ulsan branch.

They don't have pediatric surgeons there,

so they will probably get many patients.

That's a good idea.

The branch would like that too.

Let's think about that later.

First, we should get rid of excess manpower.

Those who aren't up to our standards.

This isn't the time for that discussion.

But patients' families have complained to the foundation.

I repeat, this is not the time for that discussion.

We just received notice that SQ Group

will cease funding as well.

Pediatrics and Psychiatry must run

a physical and a psychiatric evaluation.

Eun-ok has a urachal abnormality and an infection,

which caused a cyst to form below the belly button.

She won't die from this, will she?

The urachal abnormality itself isn't life-threatening.

We can operate and remove the connection.

Luckily, the cyst isn't large,

so we'll operate immediately

if she responds well to the antibiotics.

And where's her guardian?

She has no parents. Her aunt is her guardian.

She's being questioned by the police.

Would you please tell us why Eun-ok is like that?

Her aunt runs a dog farm in the suburbs.

I think she raised her in the storage shed.

She was living with the dogs

when I went to rescue her.

I had never seen such child abuse.

How could she do that to a child?

Our priority

is to calm her down, both physically and psychologically.

What did Psychiatry say?

It's textbook reactive attachment disorder.

It's similar to autism.

They say the subjects of her attachment seem to be the dogs she lived with.

Do we have an isolation room?

Yes, we do.

How dare you barge in like that?

Sorry, sir.

What is it?

I'd like to be

Eun-ok's attending physician

I'd like to stick to her and treat her 24 hours a day.

You should've asked me first!

You can't ask Dr. Kim like that!

You can't keep

giving her Lorazepam to take away the pain and make her sleep.

The more she sleeps, the more anxious she'll get.

It's more painful for her.

Animals have different sleeping patterns--

Si-on.

This is Pediatric Surgery, not Psychiatry.

I know, sir.

But since Eun-ok can't speak,

she needs someone she can communicate with.

And you can do that?

Yes.

I used to talk to Bunny when I was young.

It isn't hard to communicate with animals.

Since animals use theta waves, if a human concentrates

to conform to the wavelength--

Yun-seo.

Assign Gil-nam to be Eun-ok's attending.

But... But sir,

I can do it.

-I'll-- -Get out.

Get out!

Excuse me, but from what I saw,

Eun-ok was more accepting of Mr. Park than anyone else.

You get out too.

Did you not hear me?

Why don't you ever listen?

I told you not to say that in front of him.

And stop treating Eun-ok like a dog!

-Her illness is-- -Reactive attachment disorder.

Like Siberia's Wolf Girl and Bird Boy Vanya Yudin.

So you know.

Then treat her using what you learned in the books.

An illness of the heart

can't be treated with books.

My illness couldn't be treated with books, either.

Dr. Choi was always by my side.

He became my friend.

Eun-ok can't talk.

We can't tell what she wants.

But there's a way of knowing what Eun-ok wants.

Hello?

Ye-eun?

Tell me again.

Where and how does it hurt?

It hurts here

like boppity bop, boopey boo.

"Boppity bop, boopey boo"?

She's been like that for days now.

The test results all came back negative.

Then is something else wrong with her?

She isn't vomiting and is passing gas okay

and pooping okay.

And eating well.

I can't think of anything.

Does it go,

boppity bop, boopey boo

and zip zip, wow wow at night?

Yes, that's it!

It goes,

zip zip, wow wow, gororo. That's how it hurts at night.

When it goes gororo, you can't sleep, right?

You're right!

What are you talking about?

According to how the surgical wound heals,

new blood vessels form and collagen accumulates,

so it can tickle or feel prickly on the inside.

And at night, you become more sensitive, so it can feel like pain.

Is what he's saying...

correct?

Yes, it's possible.

She isn't experiencing sharp pain, so we'll keep monitoring her for now.

Okay.

Doc!

Thank you for understanding me.

And thanks

for last time too.

Sure.

Share these with your girlfriend.

Thank you.

Thank you so much

for growing up so well.

Check Wu-yeong's urine and feed her 20 cc more of milk.

Stick to her for the next week.

Will do.

Enjoy.

What is this?

It's from the employee's cafeteria.

She said to share these with the doctors.

-Here you go. -Where's Gil-nam?

He wasn't at surgery, either.

He's the dog-girl's attending, so he's going crazy.

Oh, the abused child?

-She has a urachal abnormality, right? -Yes.

Yes, but we can't communicate with her,

and she's uncontrollable.

I'm worried something will go wrong.

We should've sent her to Psychiatry until her surgery. Why are we keeping her?

There you are.

Yes, hello.

Complaints regarding Dr. Park Si-on have been dropped.

Pardon?

Why?

You know sponsors were backing out consecutively.

It would make things worse if word got out.

But still, I worked so hard to make that happen.

Mr. Lee...

instructed you to do it, didn't he?

I don't mind your cheating behind my back,

but you should've succeeded quickly.

Even if we ignore it, the parents won't--

I've already taken care of it.

Luckily, the deal with the parents worked out well.

A branch?

I think it came up at the director's meeting.

Dr. Kim Jae-jun says there are more patients there,

but that's not what the research shows.

I think

they're trying to get rid of Pediatric Surgery.

What does losing funding have to do with us?

You really don't know?

When funding gets cut,

Pediatric Surgery, the only department in the red, will lose funding first.

And then it'll disappear.

Pediatric Orthopedics, Pediatric Thoracic Surgery, and Pediatric Psychiatry

were all been reduced and disappeared like that.

It may seem like a Pediatrics problem,

but you know it's not.

The directors are using Si-on

to push out the director.

What's worse is that

you've become Dr. Kim's target,

the most influential person at the hospital.

The director,

Si-on, you,

and Pediatric Surgery.

You're all targets now.

Let them do what they want.

I'll just go my way.

If you had quit Pediatric Surgery when I asked you to,

you wouldn't be in this mess.

Hear me out, even if it upsets you.

I can't leave you like this.

No matter what it takes,

I will make you the best.

I'm not someone another person can make.

-I'll take care of it. -It's not just about skill.

-There's bigger-- -Chae-gyeong.

Just once,

can't you be proud of something that I do?

That's what keeps me going.

Not ego,

but pride.

My goodness, she looks terrible.

She stinks. How can a kid smell so foul?

I've lost my sense of smell because of her.

We should bathe her first.

Ms. Kim, Ms. Lee.

-Yes? You want us to do it? -Should I, then?

If she suddenly feels water on her, she'll wake up frightened.

Dr. Park, don't distract us and keep quiet.

Ma'am.

We would do it,

but I don't think we're strong enough.

I'd like to do it,

but she's a girl, so...

Forget it!

You're all useless.

Senior!

Senior!

Ma'am!

PETITION SIGNATURES

We can't communicate with her, and she's uncontrollable.

I'm worried something will go wrong.

Yes.

I'll end it for sure this time.

Chae-gyeong.

You know things are tough for the chairman right now.

It has nothing to do with me.

How does it not?

Even if you don't get along, a family pulls together in times of need.

Do you know whom I hate

more than Ms. Lee now?

Yes. It's you, Dr. Choi.

No. It's you, Uncle.

I expected you of all people

to oppose Dad's marriage.

Because you used to understand me the best.

As much as I understood you, their happiness was also important.

You ignored

my pain for their happiness.

Chae-gyeong.

Ms. Lee was like a real aunt to me.

You were like a real uncle to me.

I needed nothing else, if I had the two of you.

You two were more than family to me.

You two were my crutch.

We're still family.

On the premise being family,

Lee Yeo-won took Sungwon Foundation.

It was necessary for the sake of the foundation.

I'm going to get it back.

Both the foundation and my pride.

Kids.

Don't stare like that.

She may be offended by it.

Okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

Let's go.

Eun-ok.

Let's go up on the bed, okay?

Yes, it's so nice and soft.

The drugs have made her disoriented.

Dr. Park, what are you--

Tie her hands and feet and put in a mouth guard.

What? We can't tie up a child.

She has a surgery coming up.

If she throws a fit and gets hurt, her condition may worsen.

She may hurt herself too.

We should ask Psychiatry first.

It's what Dr. Song from Psychiatry said.

Tie her up.

If she can't move, it'll hurt more.

Who told you to be here?

She must be stroked and hugged when she sleeps.

Stop spewing nonsese and get out!

Hello?

Dr. Kim.

Change Lee Eun-ok's attending to Park Si-on.

Pardon?

I hear she has something similar to autism.

He had a similar handicap, so it'll help him treat her.

We've already assigned Gil-nam.

So? The chief wants to reassign them. What's the problem?

What is your motive?

What do you mean, motive?

It's for the patient's welfare.

Are you hoping Si-on will cause a bigger problem?

That's absurd.

-Don't overreact. -I'm not.

You don't seem genuine at all.

So? You'll defy the chief's orders?

Want to talk to the ethics committee again?

If you must, sure.

You know things are bad right now.

Pediatric Surgery's future is bleak at best.

Must you keep causing problems and endangering us?

Being like this doesn't help the director, either.

What should we do?

Give her to Park Si-on.

That's what you wanted, too.

It makes me uncomfortable hearing you say it like that.

So what do you want me to do?

Are you happy you're Eun-ok's attending now?

Yes.

Come here.

You have to be very careful, okay?

You can't make any mistakes.

This may be your last chance.

Okay.

It's just like holding onto to a rope

when playing tug of war.

You have to stay alert, okay?

I believe in you.

I believe you a lot.

Why do you keep hiccuping whenever you're with me?

Do I make you want to throw up?

No, you do not.

Oh, wait.

What's this?

This... This is...

So...

Please enjoy.

Okay, good. Yes.

Don't do that.

Here, just one bite.

Stop that.

You have to eat this to get better.

She won't eat it because it's not what she's used to.

Then what should we do? Should we give her IV fluids?

She must eat. She cannot starve any longer.

Dr. Park! Where are you...

Excuse me.

What's that? It's like dog food!

She'll eat this.

She'll enjoy food like this.

Please untie her hand.

She wants to eat.

Why must you always do this to me?

Why that...

Let him be.

Sir.

Remember that lecture I once gave a long time ago?

"Treating and communicating with a child patient."

Of course.

It's a top-three best lecture ever at Sungwon Medical College.

Do you know what inspired me for that lecture?

It came to me while I was watching young Si-on and his bunny.

Really?

The bunny he always talks about, right?

That's right.

The two were of different species,

but they communicated through their own language.

Their heartbeats,

warmth, and slight movements.

That was their own language.

Watching them interact

compelled me to communicate with children in such a way.

Of course, children can speak,

but they use words we don't understand.

Then you must listen with your heart.

Like Si-on did with Bunny.

I see.

I want to hear your lecture again.

I have a CD of it. Take it.

Don't get up. I'll find it.

It's in the bottom right drawer.

My goodness,

is this Dr. Park?

Yes, when he was seven years old.

He was so cute. Look at that bowl haircut.

Hello?

Gauze.

Do it properly so I can see!

Suction.

-Call in the intraop ultrasound. -Oh.

It hasn't been arranged yet.

I told you before the surgery.

I'm sorry. I told them in advance,

but Radiology must have made a mistake.

-Dr. Han, push them for it. -Right away.

Gil-nam, get me the OR's ultrasound scanner.

Hey!

Is the OR your bedroom?

Just go home then!

I... I'm sorry, sir!

If you're so upset,

I'll take Si-on off Eun-ok.

I don't want this to be a recurring theme.

You know, don't you?

Si-on was never hired for his skills.

Si-on...

is just a tool for the foundation directors to fire the director.

I don't care about the foundation.

We just focus on treating the patients.

If Si-on messes up, everything the director worked for will be lost.

Is the director the only person who matters to you?

Just once, have you spoken to Si-on as a person?

Si-on tries to communicate even with an animal.

You don't try

to communicate with even people.

Communicate all you want.

I see no need.

You're like a completely different person,

the way you treat Si-on.

Why are you so cold and brutal only to him?

CONDOLENCES ON YOUR LOSS

I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier.

I'll make dinner, so come when you're done.

SUNGWON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

You must be very sad

since you're alone and in pain.

Yes.

Just wait a little bit.

I'll make you all better.

Thank you.

Whom do you miss the most?

Mom.

Mom.

I see.

Okay.

Eun-ok, go to sleep now.

You are so pretty.

I love you.

DO-HAN

I have an emergency surgery. I won't be done till morning.

Eat without me.

DR. KIM DO-HAN

Do you really think I'm a cold-blooded person?

Judging by that look, I guess you do.

No, sir.

I know better than anyone

that you're a warm person.

I just meant how you treat Si-on and only Si-on.

I...

I had a younger brother.

He's the reason I became a doctor.

Su-han.

Kim Su-han.

He had a severe intellectual disability.

Luckily, our parents took good care of him when he was young,

and he had improved a lot.

With enough help, he could function decently.

I thought he was much better.

Well enough to stand on his own.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday, Do-han. -Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Cheers.

THE MYSTERY OF THE HUMAN BODY

For you.

-So you're going to be a real doctor? -Wow.

Thank you.

I'll become a doctor faster with this.

When you become a real doctor,

fix me first.

Of course!

Don't take him to school anymore.

Let him go on his own now.

I know you're nervous,

but he needs a sense of independence.

That way, he can adapt to society and live among people.

He can overcome his fear of people and the world.

So trust me and do it for Su-han.

It was my fault.

My brother died because of me.

If I hadn't insisted...

That's not true.

I would've done the same.

It was for your brother.

No.

Not letting him do anything

was the best for Su-han.

My stupidity...

killed him.

Si-on reminded me of my brother.

So I wanted to send him back to where he belonged.

Because that's best for him.

Your brother may be gone,

but you're saving many children's lives.

I know that doesn't comfort you,

but you comfort many people.

And that's one of the reasons why I respect you so.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Let me borrow your bed for one night.

It's tight and uncomfortable. You should sleep at home.

She says she's hungry. Feed her.

She didn't bark because she was hungry.

She was waking me up.

I guess you were the one who was hungry. Come with me.

Hello.

Where's the professor?

He went to NICU.

I see.

I came when he didn't have appointments, but I guess I missed him.

Aren't you tired?

I heard you had an emergency surgery until this morning.

No, we didn't.

It was a rare quiet night.

Oh, I see.

Please!

Eat normal rice normally.

Stop making it into a seaweed wrap.

It tastes better this way.

Fine, eat however you want,

be it as a wrap or whatever.

Would you like some?

No thanks. Help yourself.

Let's go if you're done.

What's wrong? Are you feeling ill?

Are you okay?

Hello? Can you hear me?

We... We must move her. We must move her.

Hey, what's up?

Sorry about last night.

Emergencies happen all the time.

Did it go well?

Yes, it did.

Did you eat? Want to get lunch?

No, I have plans.

Then let's have dinner together.

Stop trying to compensate me.

Repeated compensations are worse than neglect.

I have good news.

It looks like you had cramps from enteritis.

Nothing else is wrong,

so stay a few days here and you'll be fine.

I have to work.

But you must stay in bed. You can't move.

Oh, that's right. Dr. Park.

Say thank you. She's the one who made you the potato lump soup.

I see.

Thank you.

Did you like it?

Yes.

It was very, very good.

It tasted like what I used to eat as a child.

I'm glad.

Who used to make it for you?

Well...

I don't remember.

Dr. Park, you should get to Eun-ok.

Oh, yes.

I hope you get well soon.

Thank you.

Do you have any family who can fill out the admission papers?

I'm...

all alone.

Oh, I see.

You have to fill out the paperwork though.

Okay.

Stay in bed. I'll do it for you.

Just give me your ID.

-Want to come in? -Yes!

Aren't you scared?

I am,

but I want to try staying next to her.

Come in.

You have to walk slowly.

Slowly.

May I touch her?

Yes.

Slowly. Tenderly.

She likes kids more

because they're nice and kind.

She seems older than I am,

but she's so cute.

What?

Here.

You're leaving already?

I have some business in Hong Kong.

I see.

Your gift from yesterday will be very useful.

It'll be hard for Pediatric Surgery for now,

but it's putting pressure on the foundation,

so it'll be of help later.

I understand.

But I didn't think you knew the chairman of Woomyung

or the chairman of SQ.

I'm curious as to how you convinced them.

You'll find out soon enough.

My apologies. I had an urgent call.

Where were we?

There's someone who's causing you concern?

Someone Mr. Lee brought in.

Our deputy director, Kang Hyeon-tae.

Kang Hyeon-tae?

I've never heard of him.

Why? You think he'll be trouble?

He's different from Mr. Lee's other men.

He's very quick.

And I think he has something up his sleeve.

I'll look into him.

We have to get rid of any obstacles.

Thank you for taking care of Woomyung and SQ.

My pleasure.

Both the chairmen were close friends of my father's.

I almost became their daughter-in-law too.

That's why they believed everything I said

about our foundation's problems.

Is it okay for you to face off against your mother?

She's not my mother.

She's Ms. Lee Yeo-won.

Tickle, tickle.

Hey.

Open your hands and tickle tickle.

Hello?

Go to the ER and stitch up a patient.

Yes, sir.

ISOLATION ROOM

Get him to cause trouble.

I'll take care of the rest.

WOO IL-GYU

It's all done.

Thanks for being so strong.

You'll be fine now.

Why is this open?

What is it?

Ye-eun, are you okay?

This is Eun-ok's follow-up ultrasound from two hours ago.

The abscess grew in size.

The antibiotics didn't work.

Should we use a different antibiotic?

No.

Since the abscess grew, we can't wait any longer.

It may burst.

Yun-seo, schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

What?

Hold on!

What happened?

The door must've been open while Dr. Park was out.

Stay still! We'll handle it.

We'll safely turn her over to you.

She has a stomach ailment.

You must be careful.

We will, so please stay out of it.

I said, no!

Let them do it.

Please stop. Please stop.

-Dr. Park! -What are you doing?

Dr. Park, what's wrong with you?

What are you doing here, asking for forgiveness?

I have plenty of other things to do if I get fired.

She's getting hurt instead of getting better.

We're changing hospitals.

Why can't we have a single quiet day?

Thanks for everything, Do-han.

Si-on...

Why aren't you picking up?

You didn't even think about them. Not even Dr. Cha, who trusted you.

I'll let Dr. Park Si-on go.
