What do you want?

I'm here to take Eun-ok in the presence of a cop.

You need a court order, not a cop.

I'm taking my niece. Why do I need that crap?

Hey! I said, no!

Why you little...

-No... -No, you can't.

You can't take Eun-ok. Definitely not!

Dr. Park.

Eun-ok doesn't want to go home.

-She hates her aunt. -Who on earth are you?

I'm a resident, Park Si-on. I was Eun-ok's attending.

Why are you back?

The director told me to come back,

and that they have proof it wasn't my fault.

-Really? -Yes, I didn't do it.

The director believed me.

Okay.

Let's handle her first, and then talk.

So what will you do?

Please let Eun-ok do what she wants.

We can just ask her

whether she wants to go with her aunt or stay here.

She can't even talk. How could we ask her?

She can express it.

We can tell if she wants it or not.

Fine, let's do it.

What a joke.

Let's discuss the details over dinner.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with what I have to say.

Yes, Dr. Choi.

Eun-ok, let's go home with Auntie!

Stop yelling.

Hi Eun-ok, I'm here.

Eun-ok.

Do you want to go with your aunt?

Do you...

want to stay here with this doctor?

Yes.

Yes.

Hey. She's talking now!

This is unbelievable!

I think she said, "Yes."

Why, you little... Eun-ok!

Hey, lady.

She seems to want to stay here.

She doesn't seem well enough to go, either.

Leave her here until she gets better.

If you refuse, you'll need a lawyer, not the police.

Eun-ok.

You're so pretty.

I love you.

What? What do you mean, Park Si-on didn't do it?

Please take a look at the handout.

There's a record of when he locked the door.

If you look on the bottom, after he locked the door,

there is an "F" mark just four minutes later.

So who opened the door?

They say it was a machine malfunction.

They say portable devices in the hospital

often affect other electronic objects.

So Dr. Park Si-on was not at fault?

Yes. That is correct.

So, if no one has any objections,

we will reinstate Dr. Park Si-on.

Isn't it a good thing?

We...

should've gotten rid of him.

Letting him go

and finding a way to protect you would've been better.

I can't stand the fact that...

your fate depends on him.

Sure, I understand how you feel.

Sorry.

I'll find a way

on my own now.

The wisest method.

Just why...

It would've been over if you had left it alone!

I can't disregard the security issue on my own.

They're nobodies. You could've shut them up!

The director had received the report too, so I had no choice.

You jerk! What happened?

Didn't you open it yourself?

I couldn't, because there were too many people.

Then why didn't you tell me?

I tried to, but the door somehow opened.

Darn it!

I knew it.

Dr. Park can't tell a lie.

Don't be so happy.

The troublemaker is back.

Then can he return to work?

Yes.

Are you that happy?

Yes.

I feel like I found my little brother whom I had lost.

What is it?

This is the happiest I've seen you over the ten years I've known you.

Come on, I'm not that bad.

Keep an eye on your brother.

Yes, sir.

Get up. Let's go.

Okay.

You're so cold.

How could you just leave like that?

Don't get upset anymore.

Everyone believes you.

You're hiccupping again!

So we're taking Si-on back in?

Yes. Is that a problem?

Well, it was sad when he was gone,

but now that he's back, I'm worried.

Me too.

It's hard enough. What if he causes trouble again?

Don't you think he's amazing?

I don't say it, but I'm always impressed during surgeries.

I have a lot to learn.

Well, we feel the same in that sense.

But you know he has issues.

Well, I don't like him.

He's riskier than an emergency situation.

Our troublemaker's back.

You little punk.

It's been a day, but it feels like a year.

I am very, very happy I could return.

We're very, very thrilled for you.

Dr. Woo, what's with that tone?

Sorry.

That punk.

Nothing has changed. Go back to what you were doing.

Then may I continue being Eun-ok's attending?

Yes.

Make sure she doesn't cause more trouble.

Yes, sir.

Doctor.

I'm thinking of having a welcoming party for Dr. Park today,

since we couldn't when he first started.

I'm in. What about you guys?

-Do as you wish. -Thank you.

All right! What do you want to eat?

I will eat anything.

Tell me.

I want to drink.

Alcohol is like kudzu roots.

It's bitter at first, but it gets sweeter.

We're in trouble. Now you have a taste for it.

I didn't write the title for security measures.

What is this?

A plan that will help Sungwon Hospital and Pediatric Surgery.

And it can also secure Dr. Park Si-on's future.

Look it over and let me know what you think.

What should I do?

I want to handle it myself,

but I don't know how.

You don't want to stoop

to their level.

I'm against that too. That would be disgraceful.

What if, just what if...

I become the foundation's chairman?

You just marry me, and we can take care of the rest.

You don't have to fight in the mud.

That's a great idea.

But what about Ms. Lee?

Nothing would change.

She'd just step down, that's all.

How will you become the chairman?

I don't know.

It'll work out somehow.

Okay. I hope it does,

so you can relieve my concerns.

Dr. Park.

How did you get Eun-ok to talk?

I kept asking.

What did you ask?

Are you hungry? Are you in pain?

Are you sleepy? Want to play? Want a cookie?

You got her to talk by asking those questions?

They were what her mom used to say to her.

But her parents passed away when she was three.

She couldn't remember that.

That's not true. She knows she had a mom.

It's not clear, but she remembers how her mom felt.

The person she missed most was her mom.

Whom do you...

miss the most?

Mom.

Mom.

And when we were alone,

I told her that she was pretty, and that I loved her.

You were like a mom to her.

Yes.

But...

I envy Eun-ok.

What?

I don't remember anything.

Mom and Dad's faces,

their voices, smell, our times together.

I don't remember anything other than my brother.

I'm sure my mom told me

that she loved me too.

Thank you.

So don't worry, and take care of yourself.

I'll set up a time for you two to meet soon.

Not at the hospital, but somewhere nice.

I'll pretend not to know, of course.

Thank you.

Doc!

You should've told me you were back!

My neck. Let go of my neck.

Hurry and say you missed me and that you are happy to see me.

-I missed you and I'm happy to see you. -How much?

Very, very much.

Right? You need to say at least that much to me.

In-hae.

You're my friend, right?

Of course. Your only friend.

May I ask you something then?

Sure. Anything.

So whenever she touches or hugs you,

you start hiccuping?

Yes, my diaphragm and breathing are fine,

but I keep hiccupping.

You didn't hiccup when I hugged you, right?

No.

How do you feel when you hiccup?

Like watching Korea score a winning goal in the World Cup.

Like climbing to the top in a glass-walled elevator.

Like eating chocolate ice-cream but smelling perfume.

Who is

this bitch?

Bitch?

Bitch? Did you just curse?

Fine, I won't.

So who's the girl?

Tell me.

You're driving me crazy.

It's too late for secrets.

Fine. You can tell me later.

First,

you obviously like her.

I like her?

Yes, as a woman. As someone of the opposite sex.

It's a basic symptom of being in love.

But you really won't tell me who she is?

Wow, he's awesome.

I heard he was invited by a choir

to study in Germany.

Then he doesn't have to study English and math like us?

He's so lucky.

I can do that much. Look.

What's that?

How beautiful. Is he famous?

Yes, he was on TV before, too.

It's my turn.

What is that noise? It sounds like a pig being strangled.

A pig. Being strangled.

-Stop laughing! -A pig being strangled.

A pig.

Close your eyes

and listen.

Isn't it nice?

Doesn't it feel like you're in heaven?

Try to picture your mom

even if you can't remember.

I'll try, too.

You're not coming to Si-on's welcoming party?

No, I have plans.

Then come afterward.

Enjoy yourselves without me.

Oh, and...

It's been a while since the last company dinner so go nuts.

Thank you.

I intentionally didn't tell the chief.

Bye.

Dr. Kim.

From this welcoming party onward,

how about we let him work like a real resident,

Instead of keeping regular hours?

We're not in the clear yet.

My opinion hasn't changed.

Here you are.

What is this offer that I'd be pleased with?

I'd like to make Pediatric Surgery the face of Sungwon Hospital.

We're barely hanging by a thread.

-Is that possible? -Definitely.

I want Pediatric Surgery to never struggle because of a shortage

of manpower or funding.

-That sounds too idealistic. -Doctor.

I'm a businessman.

I don't even look at something hopeless.

Another thing I don't understand is...

Isn't that the opposite of what your side wants?

I don't have a side.

It was a step to differentiate the good from the bad.

Here, have a drink.

You and I are on the same team now.

I have an honorable sponsor who will back us as well.

One who has faith Sungwon Hospital's Pediatric Surgery Department

and believes in you personally.

-To Dr. Park! -To Dr. Park!

I feel bad that we're intruding.

What do you mean? We're all family.

Family's good.

I've been waiting to hang out together.

Dr. Park. You're the guest of honor. Say a few words.

It's whelk!

This is a first. We never had a newbie's speech entail,

"It's whelk!"

Where are the others?

-They're at the hospital working. -Yeah, right.

They didn't come because they don't like him.

Hush, get a clue.

Pediatric Surgery's welcoming parties were packed

seven or eight years ago.

That's ancient history.

Now, only idiots want to be a pediatric surgeon.

I'm not an idiot.

Thoracic surgery kept scouting me.

Thank you very much for working under me.

There may be only a few doctors,

but all the pediatric surgeons are elites.

Dr. Kim, Dr. Cha, Dr. Han...

And Dr. Park.

Did you call me?

No, eat up. You're the guest of honor.

Thank you.

I know it's a difficult decision to make,

but please think it over for the sake of Dr. Choi,

Pediatric Surgery,

and your doctors.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

-Please go to Sungwon Hospital. -Sure.

Dr. Kim.

Hey, did my kids come by?

They came and left already.

They probably went somewhere nearby.

To where?

-Who's next? -Me. I'm next.

All right. Let's give him a hand!

Dance your ass off!

Dr. Kim?

You said you wouldn't come. Why did you stop by?

To see how much you were spending.

We totally maxed out your card.

Yun-seo.

Why are you saying my name like that? It sounds so awkward.

Be completely honest.

Do I seem

wise to you?

Well, so wise that you're a little...

Just a little bit annoying.

But why do you ask?

Just...

I wanted to hear your opinion,

since you're the closest to me.

You can give me an attitude and cause trouble,

just believe in me as you do now.

What's going on with you?

One more thing.

-And while I'm on the topic... -Yes?

Stop talking like a soldier. Are you a soldier?

I can't change how I talked for ten years.

I said stop, so stop!

It's weird hearing that from an old junior.

"An old junior"?

Why are you being so mean?

Stop it.

I will, because I'm pissed off!

You'll be 40 before you know it.

When did you grow so big?

Stop, okay?

Okay.

Gyu-hyeon, I'll go slowly.

Relax and go again.

Gyu-hyeon.

You keep that up, and you'll be humiliated in Germany.

Focus and go again.

Get up.

Get up. Now!

Gyu-hyeon.

Gyu-hyeon.

What's wrong?

My throat...

hurts....

We need to drink more.

Do you have beer?

No.

Then get some.

Make sure to get

bottled beer instead of canned beer.

Okay.

Beer.

Si-deok.

I think I understand what that feeling is like.

How you felt when you liked Sun-yeong, the laundromat owner's daughter,

long ago.

Get me a list of the best pediatric surgeons.

We will scout all of them.

That hit the spot.

What a rough hangover.

Hey, Doc.

Yes?

Are you okay?

Yes, I am fine. I feel great.

Don't drink anymore.

What a waste of money. You don't even get drunk.

Isn't that nice?

Perfume mixed with soju smells like lemon soju.

I want to drink again.

What? Eun-ok's medication has been stopped?

She hasn't paid her bill yet.

That woman...

It's not a forced release,

but it'll be hard to treat her.

I heard she's a dog breeder or something.

But she can't afford to pay?

Child Services says she's a custodian,

not the owner.

What the hell?

Eun-ok was declared disabled, so she gets...

What was it? Disabled Children's Benefits.

I got that too.

I received it when I was young.

Dr. Choi put it into my account for me.

Then she should've used it for her treatment!

Why that woman.

That witch probably used it for herself.

That evil witch.

Why aren't you begging to go home anymore?

You used to cause such a fuss.

That's because...

I'm just scared of getting another infection.

That's good.

I feel better when you're here.

Hang in there a few months.

You'll get a transplant soon.

Can't I just live like this?

The surgery will cost so much.

I told you not to say that. Stop it.

In-hae.

Take your medicine, okay? Bye.

Hurry, doctor!

Doctor! Why are you just standing there?

I don't want to be inconsiderate.

Why, are you urinating on the streets or something?

I know, right?

Calm down, I know everything.

I told him.

You need supporters helping you.

You're embarrassing me.

When a man makes his first contact,

he needs to make an impact.

For example,

you should have a line.

"In-yeong, what's your blood type?"

"A. Why?" Then you go,

"I don't think so.

I think you're my type."

You can't use corny lines from the 18th century.

What? I like it.

-It's novel. -Whatever.

Girls like it

when you notice exactly what they need most.

Exactly. Exactly what they need!

Exactly what they need?

Come in.

What is it?

What is this?

It's face cream.

I saw your bare face when you were

trying to wash Eun-ok.

Senior!

From what I saw, your skin looked really rough.

I've never been so insulted.

You're not my beautician.

Why do you care about my skin?

I'm so offended.

I just thought that you might need--

Forget it!

If you do this again, I'll...

I'm so insulted. How annoying.

It's nothing to get annoyed at.

Just try the cream--

Say, "Ah."

I heard you were the best, but you're very young.

Then I'll introduce you to an old doctor.

No, I'm not sure I can trust them either.

He has an infection in the soft tissues of the neck

and maybe an abscess on the inside.

Did something like this happen before?

Yes, he got boils in his neck a few times.

He was treated with antibiotics.

He got sore throats often, too, since he sings.

Send him to the ER for a blood test and a CT scan.

Yes sir. Should we give him antibiotics, too?

Yes, send me the results right away.

-Yes, sir. -Please hurry.

He has to start practicing again tomorrow.

Call Si-on once the results come in.

Pardon?

Really? He said to call Si-on?

Yes, but I'm not sure why.

It looks like a common abscess.

Is the location different?

It looks like an abscess formed after lymphadenitis.

LYMPHADENITIS: ENLARGEMENT IN ONE OR MORE LYMPH NODES

There's an infection by the thyroid gland, too.

Yes.

It's common to diagnose this as an abscess formed

after lymphadenitis or thyroiditis.

But they're both wrong.

I haven't seen this either.

Si-on.

What's your diagnosis?

Does the patient have a history of getting sore throats,

hoarse voice or have pain when swallowing?

Yes.

Pyriform sinus fistula.

-What's that? -Pyri... what?

Oh, so this is pyriform sinus fistula.

I've only seen it in articles.

Third, fourth branchial cleft anomaly.

A rare congenital illness in kids causing infections and sore throats.

It triggers pain in the thyroid area.

Simple treatment will result in recurrence.

Extreme cases can cause thyroiditis.

Can we drain the abscess and operate

-other branchial cleft anomalies? -No.

The fistula's location makes it more complicated.

The scope of the infection is too broad and there is risk of damaging the nerves.

-What more tests must we do? -Swallowing esophagography.

But the CT scan shows that infection has reached the thyroid.

-Is that wise? -Critical to prevent recurrence

is to remove the entrance to the fistula and to seal it up.

Sometimes, you must remove parts of the thyroid,

but we won't know until we operate.

Given the position, there is a high risk

of damage to the superior laryngeal nerve.

-Then... -He won't be able to hit the high notes.

He won't be able to sing.

Isn't he famous for his singing? He's going to study abroad, too.

Si-on was the only one who diagnosed him correctly.

You need to diagnose correctly to operate correctly.

Don't disregard it just because it is a rare disease, and shape up.

Got it?

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Surgery?

We're going to Germany next week.

Singing will increase the pressure on his vocal cords,

which will worsen the infection.

We must operate soon, for his sake.

If he gets surgery, when can he sing again?

He may have problems with the high notes after surgery.

What?

-What do you mean? -It's just as I said.

He may not be able to sing.

Look here!

You want to ruin his future for your convenience?

Honey!

If we don't operate now, it may be too late.

Is there no other treatment?

No.

Not if you want a cure.

Forget it. We'll take him to a hospital abroad.

I don't trust you.

Honey. Honey!

I'm sorry.

I understand her, but she's too much.

It's up to them whether or not to trust doctors.

Let them do as they wish.

Even if we go abroad,

we have to find a hospital and a doctor, and wait,

get a diagnosis and then surgery. We'd be wasting time.

He'll only get worse.

But we can't treat him here.

They just want to operate.

If he's in pain,

we should consider it.

Are you insane?

He almost made it.

It's the Froitzheim Choir.

Did you forget what we sacrificed for this?

We gave up everything.

I understand that, but this is for Gyu-hyeon!

Gyu-hyeon...

has been singing since he was four.

This is all he has.

Let's have him admitted.

Let's start treatment first, not surgery,

and see how it goes, okay?

They don't want surgery now, so prescribe some antibiotics.

What if they keep refusing surgery?

We'll have to convince them.

If he only gets simple treatment, it'll recur within a month.

Professor, it was good of you

to give Si-on a chance to show his abilities.

I wanted to confirm his abilities one last time.

"One last time"?

I'm going to transfer him to Diagnostics.

Sorry?

He's more suitable for that. Plus, he won't need to operate there.

I suggested transferring to him, too.

But he insists on becoming a surgeon.

It's the best way to make him a doctor.

Still, it'll be hard to break his resolve.

He's lucky he has an option.

I'll talk to Diagnostics. You talk to him.

Your dream...

is to become a surgeon, not just a doctor, right?

Yes, I want to become a surgeon.

Remember what the professor said?

You must diagnose correctly to operate correctly.

-Yes. -Right.

Diagnosis is very important as well.

I think you're more exceptional in that field.

No one else can compare to you.

Are you telling me to give up becoming a surgeon again?

That's not it.

I'm advising on which department seems best for you.

I'm not trying to upset you.

Dreams and what you're good at are different.

I'm good at drawing. I can draw better than I can operate!

But a dream is something you want to do regardless!

A dream is something

you think of when you eat and sleep!

It's what makes me happy!

Si-on!

Si-on!

Don't be mad. I was just asking.

I've never seen you so angry.

You be Gyu-hyeon's attending.

I'll talk to Dr. Kim.

I'm sure he won't object.

Let's go.

Hi, Gyu-hyeon.

I'm your attending physician, Park Si-on.

Nice to meet you.

Are you listening to music? What are you listening to?

I heard you sing. You are very, very good.

You don't want to talk?

Here's our celebrity.

Hello.

Let me know if you need anything.

Here's your water.

The pantry is down the hall if you need more.

He doesn't drink that water.

We'll take care of his food and drinks.

Please limit visits by the doctors and nurses

unless they are checking or treating him.

Can he sing but not speak?

Sorry?

If he can't talk, the kids will say he's stupid.

What?

He thinks he's Pavarotti.

Both mother and son are so rude.

How dare you complain about a patient and his parent?

I'm sorry, but they're just so...

Ms. Nam.

What?

Your cheeks.

What?

What did you put on?

It's whipped cream.

It's from the latte I had earlier.

Oh, a latte?

Whipped cream is that moisturizing?

She used it already. Yes, she did.

Yes, she did.

Did you look over what I gave you?

-Mr. Kang. -Yes?

Is this why you came to our hospital?

Yes, it is.

Do you really think this is best

for our hospital and Pediatric Surgery?

-I already told you how I feel. -Mr. Kang!

-Yes? -You have the wrong person.

You thought I'd agree to something this outrageous?

You must be mistaken.

-I-- -Please leave the hospital

within the week.

If you do, I won't say anything.

If you refuse,

I'll call a board meeting to discuss your dismissal.

Are you sure Mr. Kang is really on our side?

I really can't trust him.

My thoughts exactly.

I think he's teaming up

with the director and the chairman.

That ungrateful jerk.

He forgot who brought him here.

What should we do now?

We used all our tactics.

There's still one left.

What's that?

I'll take responsibility,

so you make a sacrifice.

What?

What sacrifice?

-Hurry up. -You go.

You go first.

Stop pushing.

We're in the first grade. You're in the fourth, right?

I saw you on a blog. You were on TV too, right?

You sing so great.

You sound like a foreigner.

I tried to copy you,

but they said I sounded like a pig being strangled.

That's true.

But why are you here? Where does it hurt?

You're not getting a circumcision, are you?

You idiot, they don't do that at Pediatric Surgery.

Why not?

I heard you were invited

by a famous German choir?

You're so lucky.

I heard their sausages are really good.

Really big sausages.

May I get an autograph?

So that I can show it off when you get more famous.

What are you guys doing?

Who said you could come in here?

Everyone just comes and goes.

-Right? -Yes.

Not here. Don't ever come back.

He needs quiet and relaxation, and he has to study.

Get out.

Get out.

Excuse me.

-Yes? -He needs friends.

That'll make him hurt less.

What?

Speaking quietly doesn't strain his throat.

It's healthier for him to talk and laugh.

Why do you keep saying weird things?

It's not weird.

I was sicker as a child because I couldn't talk or laugh.

I was sick every day.

Dr. Park.

I heard you paid Eun-ok's bill.

You match the administration's description perfectly.

Yes, I know.

I've done it before, too.

But once you start,

you'll never stop.

You need to survive, too.

I have lots of money.

I have over one million won.

And I used

the disabled kids' benefits that I saved up.

You never spent any of it?

No.

I didn't need it since the director

gave me allowance and treated me for free.

And all I need is money for 40 seaweed wraps and sandwiches

and 80,000 won for bus fare per month.

But still...

It's okay. I must help those less fortunate than I.

You're an adult and you seem like an adult.

He's much more of an adult than I am.

SONGS

That's right!

Si-on.

Hello.

What's the pot for?

The cafeteria lady made me potato lump soup before.

Potato lump soup?

That's not on the menu.

Dr. Cha told me

that the lady made it herself.

So I'm going to return the pot to her.

It was very good. Shredded squash, red peppers,

sesame seeds, and potato dough.

It's just like what I ate in Taebaek when I was young.

Yes, I remember that too.

-Go give it to her. -Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello, doctor.

Thank you. Sorry I'm returning it so late.

It's okay, you're busy.

Just let me know if you ever crave it.

May I really?

Of course. Anytime.

-Dr. Choi? -Yes?

What's going on?

We received a report

that Pediatric Surgery administered the banned Hetavizen.

So we're here to investigate.

Dr. Choi.

What are you doing?

The FDA is here to do an investigation.

We're investigating the use of banned drugs.

Banned drugs?

Hey, Dr. Park.

What's wrong with Gyu-hyeon?

There is persistent pain in this throat.

The pain will worsen because of the infection.

We must operate right away! Right away!

Be quiet!

Where's the doctor?

Condition.

Left side of the neck is swollen. Fever of 39.2.

He can't speak due to his sore throat.

He has been experiencing pain for an hour.

The antibiotics aren't working.

Take him to the OR.

Wait.

We need to talk.

I told you, you can't operate.

It's a simple procedure.

What if you mess up

and he can't sing anymore?

Excuse me. What do you take us for?

We won't operate without the guardian's approval.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

Give him some different antibiotics.

He's in pain.

Even if he gets surgery, it won't be here.

So just make the pain subside.

Okay.

Dr. Park.

Give him ibuprofen.

What are you doing?

You're horrible.

I thought all moms love their children.

But Gyu-hyeon's mom doesn't love him.

You're like Eun-ok's aunt.

What is he saying?

Yes, we finally got to sneak out.

Why is it so hard to get some sun?

We'll turn into vampires at this rate.

Look at my skin. It's so gross.

Hey.

Want to sneak out this weekend and go clubbing?

Me too!

Forget it. They won't let you in.

Why don't you take a look in the mirror?

-Why you... -What?

Hey, what if you get caught?

You'll get interrogated by the professor.

You coward, we won't get caught!

We'll let the music sweep us away.

Bounce, bounce

What's this?

See? It's a sign from heaven.

Earphones from the sky.

But...

where did these fall from?

What's that?

What is that?

Gyu-hyeon!

Gyu-hyeon!

Don't come any closer!

Gyu-hyeon!

Come down and let's talk, okay?

Gyu-hyeon, why are you doing this?

I said not to come closer!

No!

People say I shouldn't become a doctor.

Don't you fail like your pathetic mentor did.

Just keep trying until you can.

Once you're done with Gyu-hyeon, transfer to Diagnostics.

He's not doing that because he hates you.

Yes, he is. He's sending me away because he hates me.

You know what I hate the most, right? Mistakes, excuses and lies.

Is it as hard for you as it is for me?
