[CERTIFICATE OF DEATH]

[(TO BE) SIGNED BY: KANG DONG JOO]

[NAME: KANG DONG JOO]

What is this?

You just need to sign it and it will be notarized.

This patient is not dead yet. He's still alive.

So how could we...

His BP keeps dropping and he's not discharging urine.

If there is no sign of arrest or... he should be declared brain dead.

It's possible to have no stem sign right before ROSC. [ROSC: THE

[RESUMPTION OF A NORMAL HEART RHYTHM WITH A PERCEPTIBLE PULSE].

We need to watch at least 24 to 48 hours before such a decision can be made.

And to declare him dead while on duty.

This is the records from the hospital the dead solider used to attend.

He's been receiving treatment for diverticulosis for a long while.

He was not suffering from diverticulosis but

a trauma due to an injury to his abdomen.

I opened it and saw it myself.

He's a military deserter. To declare him dead due to a trauma while being outside,

have you thought of how awkward that situation would be?

What if this situation gets known to the outside

world, through the internet and else where.

How noisy would the foolish people get?

It will end with the innocent middle rank officers losing their heads.

Isn't that a irresponsible conclusion to get to?

Therefore,

are you asking me... to lie?

I'm asking you to make a rational decision.

So what you are saying is,

I should lie on a death cerificate, about a person who's still alive,

and sign it, right?

In life, silence can be a better medicine than truth at times.

Think of this as such a time.

I'm sorry but please understand, that I did not hear any of this nor was I here at all.

Kang Dong Joo!

Arguing out of sense of justice is something we do in our youth.

You are an adult now. As a doctor and a member of society,

you have to show a sense of responsibility now.

Quietly and simply, let us proceed.

What is this?

What are you doing here?

All sitting around together?

What schemes are you cooking up?

Director Do!

- Episode 12 -

Young Joon.

What about our Joo Hyuk? Joo Hyuk.

My child.

Joo Hyuk. Joo Hyuk.

Joo Hyuk.

Aigoo.

Joo Hyuk.

Cardiac arrest, doctor!

Chief Nurse, please call Dr. Kang.

Please guardians, we need you to leave the room.

One moment, mother.

- Mother, mother. - One moment.

One moment.

Aigoo. Joo Hyuk.

Doctor.

[EMERGENCY]

Yes, Chief Nurse. I'm on my way.

What is it?

His second cardiac arrest.

Bring the defibrillator, quickly.

[CERTIFICATE OF DEATH]

200.

Get away.

Shock.

Compression.

Let me, Sunbae.

I will check the rhythm.

One more time. 200.

It's ready.

Shock.

Come back. Please. Come back.

Come back, please!

[CERTIFICATE OF DEATH]

Come back.

Dr. Kang.

TIME OF DEATH: 20:48. (8:48 P.M.)

[NAME: KANG DONG JOO]

[CHAPTER 12: THE BOILING POINT]

- Is this it? - The one in the back.

Yes.

Excuse me, which way is it to Doldam Hospital?

I'm sorry to have this happen.

The military will provide full support for his funeral service.

Thank you.

I feel badly about his desertion but to receive such assistance.

If you need help at any time, please contact me.

Goodbye.

Joo Hyuk was murdered!

What... are you saying, Young Gyun?

The three senior officers harassed and beat him up every day,

that's why he did not go back to the base.

That's why he is dead.

Look here.

You can't speak in such a manner without confirming the facts.

How much turmoil would that be for Park Joo Hyuk's parents?

The doctor who operated on him said it.

He sustained the injury from being beaten up.

I clearly heard everything that he said to you.

I heard it clearly, Sir.

Please go and ask the doctor and he will tell you everything.

Where should I go...

to meet with the doctor?

I will take you to him.

Please follow me.

[CERTIFICATE OF DEATH] Please close your eye just once.

To be honest, do you think I like and approve everything Director Do does?

So that I'm not out of his favor.

To follow the path given to me rather than being in the dark and ostracized.

It might not seem so important to you at your age but you wait till you get older.

When you pass 40's and get closer to the 50's everything will look different.

Whether you have the line or not, will determine your world.

You only need to bow down to one Director Do.

You submit to that one person and your life will change.

Got it?

Dr. Kang.

Park Joo Hyuk's parents have questions for you.

Can you see them?

Please come in.

Hello.

I'm Joo Hyuk's father.

I've heard you said Joo Hyuk had injuries from being beaten.

Is that true?

Please, doctor.

He was healthy when he came out for a visit two months ago.

Why he became that way.

We need to know the reason.

Please explain to us,

what you know.

Please.

Doctor.

What are you doing, Dr. Kang?

Please just tell them.

There is more...

information I need to look into.

I have to check the records of his prior treatment at the military hospital.

In order to complete the Certificate of Death,

I will need more time.

Excuse me.

Are you going somewhere?

Just to get some fresh air.

- Why did you do that? - What do you mean?

There were bruises on Park Joo Hyuk's body,

and the trauma from an injury to the abdomen

during the operation was confirmed,

so why did you not say anything about all that?

Are you listening to me?

Do you hear me, Dr. Kang Dong Joo?

I'm really tired. Let's talk later.

What's up with him?

Welcome.

Kang Dong Joo.

I'm sorry for interrupting.

No, no, no, no, no. Hey, no.

It's no interruption. Come in. Please come in.

Did you come for a drink or for dinner?

Give me a bottle of soju, please.

Okay.

[MOTHER]

Taxi!

Drink it. It's on me.

Drink it.

Come on.

If you can't, you don't have to.

Yes, I can drink it.

Do you want another shot?

Okay.

They are drinking? Master Kim and Dr. Kang?

Drinking?

Yes, they are.

How far have they gone?

On the 8th bottle of soju.

8th bottle?!

When did you know?

Huh?

That I am who I am.

That I'm the one who broke apart the Emergency Room back when.

When did you know it was me?

Let me ask you a question, too. Why did you decide to become a doctor?

You told me this then.

If you want to take revenge, you need to answer with skills.

That's why I did it that way.

So that I can show I'm not one to mess around with.

So that those who treated me with disrespect

could not continue to treat me that way.

So that I can show them...

that I'm different from them.

But...

when I see the choices you make, I don't see you being any different from them.

Because this is not enough.

I have to climb up higher, no matter what.

So that I can go head to head with Director Do, or whoever else is up there.

Is that why...

if you accept a 15% increase in salary,

and a $100,000 annual research money,

no matter what, your status will go up higher?

To submit to Director Do, and to swear loyalty to him,

get promoted as a team manager,

and get your name published in journals.

When all that happens, will you achieve the success you've wanted?

That's the way of the world, isn't it?

The world calls that a success.

If you don't get lined up right, I will end up being nothing.

So you give up on your pride,

and throw away your conscience. Shamelessly or not.

- Ignoring all consequences? - If you pretend to not care for any of that,

are you able to protect your pride?

When you have no power,

can you protect your conscience?

When you are treated unjustly and you can't do anything,

do you know how humiliating and painful

that feels?

The human greed is such that, we can all go on and on with excuses until,

we come to a rational conclusion that convinces

us totally, that we had no other choice.

there were no other ways than the path I chose.

Hey, Kang Dong Joo.

The way I see it, it's not your conscience that's hurting but it's your greed.

Did you go inside of me and see it for yourself or something? Huh?

I know a bit about the dilemma of going back

and forth between the idealism and the reality

experienced by the likes of you.

But as a doctor,

especially as a surgeon on whom a life depends,

you have to shoulder the responsibility that is at least equal to that life.

Just remember that one thing.

The deserter soldier had a surgery. You take care of it the way you want it.

Whether you grill it or boil it, no matter what you do with it,

you have to carry it with you.

Put the bill on the tab.

Okay.

- Excuse me. - Today's treatment is finished.

I see but I am not here for treatment.

Are you registering for Emergency? If so please go to the booth #3.

Kang Dong Joo.

Ah, Dr. Yoon, where are you going?

Kang Dong Joo, that bastard.

He's totally inebriated and hanging over an auto guard rail.

Really bothersome.

If he's going to get drunk he should drink nicely.

Excuse me, Dr. Yoon.

Or else he should have had a few and just gone to sleep.

- Dr. Yoon! - At my age, at this hour, in this chaotic situation...

should I be ignoring everything I was doing

so that I can go and retrieve a drunk hoobae?

Don't you think so In Bum? Don't you agree Chief Administrator Jang?

Why are you like that?

This is Dr. Kang Dong Joo's mother.

Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you.

She is Dr. Yoon from the Emergency Department.

Ah, yes. Nice to meet you.

My Dong Joo stays here?

Yes, his private home is near by but that Kang Dong Joo...

Dr. Kang Dong Joo insists this is more comfortable for him.

As you know well, that Kang Dong Joo bastard...

Dr. Kang Dong Joo, once he makes up his mind,

he's quite tenacious.

He is like that isn't he? He takes after his father.

Still, if it wasn't for that tenacity, how could he finish such difficult study?

That's right. Of course.

Would you like something to drink?

I'm not someone that difficult. You don't have to feel so nervous. Okay?

Ah, yes.

Let's have one more, Director?

I will pay for 2 hours of karaoke.

What's wrong with you.

- Oh dear. - How come you drank so much?

Dr. Kang Dong Joo. Dr. Kang Dong Joo.

Uh, Sunbae Seo Jung.

My pretty Yoon Seo Jung.

Hey, you, what are you doing? Won't you get off me? Get off.

Please don't do that, why do you do that to me?

Your mother is here. Get off of me.

Uh?

Hey.

I really like you a lot, Sunbae.

Hey, will you not get yourself together?

Let go of these hands and get away from me.

Don't you hear what I'm saying?

That I really like you a lot.

Get lost!

Dong Joo.

Kang Dong Joo, are you okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey, Kang Dong Joo. Are you okay?

Hey! Kang Dong Joo.

What about Dr. Kang?

What's wrong, Dr. Yoon? Did something happen?

I just want to disappear deep... into the ground.

Dong Joo.

Dong Joo.

Do you like that woman sunbae, Seo Jung?

I do. I do like her.

A lot.

Oh my. Really.

[KANG DONG JOO IS NOT A DOCTOR BUT A MURDERER.]

Ah, who in the world...

Ah, really.

What kind of a hideous prank is this?

Oh my god.

[KANG DONG JOO IS NOT A DOCTOR BUT A MURDERER.]

First, I've gone around the first and second floor,

and took down every one of them that I saw.

Aigoo, this honestly.

You are all here.

Who in the world is doing something so horrible?

I am wondering the same. The staff are looking for him.

Has Dr. Kang Dong Joo reported for work yet?

What should we do? His mother came up last night even.

[KANG DONG JOO IS NOT A DOCTOR BUT A MURDERER.]

Mom?

Uh, Dong Joo.

Are you awake?

How did you get here?

I just came because I wanted to see you.

- When? - Ah, last night.

How come you drank so much? You should drink in moderation.

Do you want some water?

Ah, is there some honey, that would be good.

You don't, huh?

Okay, right.

I will get some honey and send it to you when I get back to Seoul.

Drink this.

Drink this, okay?

Let me see. What do we have here?

Let's see.

Oh my child.

[KANG DONG JOO IS NOT A DOCTOR BUT A MURDERER.]

Who are you?

What are you doing over there?

What are you doing?

I'm asking you what you are doing, at this hospital?

I am protesting.

Please stop immediately or we will call the police.

Call them. Doctors need to protect each other.

Go ahead.

What?

Even if I get taken away, I will come back and do the same.

Until that doctor is kicked out of the hospital,

I will come back and circulate the posters.

Let's see who wins.

Who are you?

Who are you to be posting these recklessly?

Have you forgotten already?

You killed my father.

Because of that man, former Speaker of the National Assembly, Go Man Suk,

you postponed my father's surgery.

Don't you remember?

Delaying the surgery?

Is there some problem with my father?

I will watch over him for a few days and reschedule the surgery.

Doctor.

Seo Myung Woon's guardian.

You remember the name.

Did he pass away?

Yes, he did.

After you delayed the surgery, his doctor-in-charge

was changed suddenly and his surgery was delayed over and over.

He eventually died of acute pneumonia.

Why did you delay the surgery?

My father's surgery was scheduled first.

Because he was a VIP and my father had no money or power?

You can't discriminate like that with a person's life can you?

A doctor...

shouldn't do that, right?

Why are you playing around with a person's life?

You are not supposed to do that.

My father was first. My father was first.

My father was here before him.

My father was here yesterday.

You should have taken care of him first.

I will never forgive you.

Doctors like you, I can never forgive.

I will make sure you don't walk around with your head high.

I will put my life on the line to make sure...

your doctor's gown comes off of you.

[KANG DONG JOO IS NOT A DOCTOR BUT A MURDERER.]

Hey, hey, Kang Dong Joo, don't worry too much.

I will call the police and take care of it completely.

No, please don't take care of it.

You should just monitor the situation.

But Master Kim, if we leave it the way it is,

Dr. Kang's and Doldam Hospital's reputation will suffer a great deal of damage.

I'm saying you have nothing to worry about.

People forget when time passes.

Keep your back spine strong and endure.

Damage to your reputation will be handed by the hospital later.

This is something he has to get through.

If we fight it or someone else from the hospital responds on his behalf,

he may get by this without really learning.

But his mother is here.

Don't worry about your mother either.

I will talk to her myself.

How hard it is for a doctor to make a living.

Your mother needs to know that, too.

Have you submitted the Certificate of Death yet?

Take care of that once and for all, first.

I will take care of the rest.

Okay?

This person killed my father.

His name is Dr. Kang Dong Joo and he works here.

This person killed my father.

His name is Dr. Kang Dong Joo and he works here.

This person caused my father's death.

His name is Dr. Kang Dong Joo and he works here.

[CERTIFICATE OF DEATH]

[SOLDIER, OTHER PERSONNEL]

[OTHER PERSONNEL]

Kang Dong Joo, have you not filed the Certificate of Death?

Park Joo Hyuk's parents stayed here all night waiting and can't go home.

Hey, Dr. Kang Dong Joo.

I have things to think about.

What kinds of things?

Death certificates requires facts not things to think about.

Facts aren't always right, are they?

What kind of nonsense is that?

He is a deserter. If he's declared dead while being outside?

How noisy would that be?

I have to think about all the problems that could arise from it.

I have to, don't I?

Why do you have to think about that?

You are a doctor who operated on him.

Doctors only need to deliver the facts.

You are not...

expected... to think of the 15% salary increase,

and the $100,000 research funding in situations like this, are you?

What did I tell you? I told you this would happen.

That you might have to sell your conscience.

It's not like that so don't jump to conclusions.

It's not?

Just leave me alone for a little while.

It's not right for you to do anything else, but

especially on death certificates, no matter what,

you must not change the facts due to pressure.

If, by chance, one out of 1000, or 10,000,

you are shaken in anyway by something like that,

I would really be...

disappointed by you.

Dr. Kang Dong Joo, the police are here.

This man has killed my father.

- Look here. It is illegal for you to be doing this. - Let go of me.

This is hospital property.

If you want to protest, you need to get permission from the police station.

This person killed my father. It's Dr. Kang Dong Joo who works here.

- Let me go. - You can't do this!

This person killed my father. He works here.

I'm not going. Let me go!

I'm sorry.

Why are you doing this? Why you, Ma'am?

Kang Dong Joo, who's here.

He's my son.

My son committed a sin worthy of death.

I guess he did it because I made too many mistakes.

I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mother.

There's nothing for you to say, since you're the one

who made the mistake. Hurry up and apologize to her.

You know how your father died.

How could you do that? You know you can't do that.

Whether it's a hundred times or a thousand times,

apologize until she feels completely better.

Hurry!

Please just leave this person alone.

Yes? But she was reported to us, so that's a bit difficult for us to do.

It's okay.

Leave her alone so that she can do as she pleases.

Even if I had ten mouths, I'd have nothing to say.

I want to go back to that moment and do everything all over again.

That's how remorseful and ashamed I feel.

You jerk.

I am truly, sincerely sorry.

You bastard!

Save my father!

You bastard! Save my father!

Save my father.

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

[GEODAE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL]

Isn't that Boo Yong Joo?

He is Dr. Boo Yong Joo?

It is him. It's Dr. Boo Yong Joo. Why is he here?

Chairman. Yes, it's me.

What? Who showed up at the hospital?

You can't do this. I told you, you can't do this.

I'll call you back later.

What brings Dr. Boo Yong Joo all the way here?

I have something to say to you.

You could say it over the phone, so why would you come all the way...

What are you doing?!

Don't you ever step foot in Doldam Hospital from now on.

Stop using those young people to fulfill your own selfish interests.

Stop leeching off of Kang Dong Joo and Yoon Seo Jung, you bastard!

I won't just stand by and watch from now on. You understand?!

Don't be embarrassed.

What the hell are you doing, sinking your claws into kids at your age?

You pathetic bastard.

[DEATH CERTIFICATE]

This is your son's death certificate.

[OTHER PERSONNEL]

And this was recorded at the same time that I performed your son's surgery.

I think that it will be sufficient evidence. If you ever happen

to need my testimony in an investigation of what

truly occured, then contact me at any time.

My wife wants me to convey her thanks to you.

I'm sorry... for being late, Mother.

No, it's alright.

We were able to find out the truth about our son's death.

That's enough for us. Thank you.

Thank you!

What is this?

Kang Dong Joo, have you lost your mind?!

Hey, Kang Dong Joo! You!

Are you insane? Have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do right now?!

I just acted according to what I learned.

The death certificate is the last act of consideration that I as a doctor

can show to the family of the deceased patient.

Why can't you understand what you're told?!

The chairman ordered you not to do something that

would stir up a controversy in the first place.

Are you doing this because you don't know what it means for you to defy his orders?

I do know.

And also...

I also know how embarrassing that is.

Is it that hard for you to briefly close your eyes just once?

I just didn't want to get found out.

What?

Also... Wouldn't it possibly

be okay for me to pretend that I'm somewhat of a good guy?

I had that kind of thought.

This is Doldam Hospital.

Do those words mean that you don't care if you

don't ever go back to the main hospital again?

Are you really confident that you won't regret it?

Maybe.

I'm sorry for showing you the unattractive side of me.

You didn't think saving people's lives would be easy, did you?

In doing such work, you will come across all sorts of things.

For a while, I don't think I can go back to the main hospital.

The hospital you are in now doesn't look so bad.

I like that young female senior.

Young female senior?

You know, that female senior, Seo Jung?

That emergency doctor.

How do you know her?

You really don't remember at all?

The film is completely disconnected (NO MEMORY), really?

What happened?

If you are curious, you should ask her directly.

Even if you are my son, I don't think I can say it myself.

Why... Why are you smiling?

Did you see your mom off well?

Yes, of course.

You delivered the death certificate, too?

Yes, I did.

Yesterday...

You shouldn't speak about things that happened while drunk.

That's the manner of people who knows the rules of drinking.

You threw away the 15% increase.

And the $100,000 research funding.

And you are on the Director's bad book due to the death certificate incident.

It will be difficult for you to return to the main hospital for a while.

What to do. It looks like you will be stuck in this shabby hospital for a while.

I know. Losing all those great offers.

And then to lose the opportunity to go back to the main hospital.

To think of spending the long, long winter at this shabby hospital,

I'm feeling frustrated already.

Speaking of which, let's go out together, Yoon Seo Jung.

You, really.

Is it not possible?

Is it not possible... for me to date you?

- No, you cannot. ♪ I still can’t tell you ♪

♪ I still can’t tell you ♪

♪ Although I know it was you ♪

- What is the reason? ♪ Although I know it was you ♪

I want to know why you keep avoiding it.

- Can't you tell me? ♪ So I can feel you a little more ♪

- No, I can't. ♪ So I can feel you a little more ♪

- You like me, don't you? ♪ Please stay by my side, in my heart ♪

♪ I will love with you ♪

- Don't you? ♪ I will love with you forever ♪

- You said three times is lucky? ♪ love ♪

You have one more chance.

♪ My heart still remains in you ♪

♪ I will love with you ♪

♪ Forever love ♪

♪ I still can’t forget ♪

♪ I still miss you ♪

♪ When I first saw you ♪

What are you doing here?

Uh? I... was on my way to Emergency.

- Yes, father. - There is something I need you to do.

What? You've set the admission date?

Yes, the date is finally set.

Any time tomorrow afternoon, please come in when you are ready.

Then, will the surgery be scheduled right away?

We will have to run tests for a couple of days to see what condition you are in.

Using the equipment I've bought you, right?

Yes, with those machines.

If there is nothing irregular in the test result,

we will schedule the operation for early next week.

It's a relatively simple surgery so you won't need to be admitted for a long time.

Make sure you are a part of that surgery staff.

But I am a general surgeon, so how could I?

It's for you to figure out yourself.

You have what's called a head attached to you, do you not?

Report to me every detail that goes on in that surgery.

I have to know every detail.

Is that so? Dr. Yoon is?

Ever since then, she's studying all material related to it. Nice to see.

I thought you should know.

Have you completed the make up of the surgery team?

Pretty much everyone is set in my head.

Until it's finalized,

I will think about it more for a day or two.

I see. I hope Dr. Yoon gets an opportunity this time around.

Even if it's just my wish.

I will hang up now.

What's up?

What is it? Tell me.

Chairman Shin's artificial heart surgery.

It's not much of a surgery. Just changing a battery.

Can I be the first assistant for that surgery?

But you are a general surgeon.

I was in one of those operations while I was an intern.

I'm familiar with dissection of the aortic artery, heart bypass surgery,

and heart & lungs bypass. The operation with the

ventricular assist device, I did it two times.

If you are the first, Dr. Yoon will get pushed aside.

Do you know that?

Is it at all possible?

Aren't you waiting in anticipation?

Who will be a part of Master Kim's surgery team.

I don't know much but it will be someone with great luck.
