‎DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

‎Stay here.

‎I'll get your brother out.

‎EPISODE 2

‎The surgery press release goes out today.

‎Director Bu.

‎We were able to expand ‎the pediatric cancer ward

‎thanks to this gentleman's donation.

‎As the only branch running at a deficit--

‎He's definitely a patient.

‎In more ways than one.

‎The foundation's hospitals ‎net tens of billions of won.

‎Do we still need to cater to VIP donors?

‎The surgical staff room expansion ‎is on hold right now,

‎and the foundation ‎won't give us an answer.

‎Please put together ‎the past donation records.

‎We should be doing upfront chemo.

‎Why are we doing surgery first, Dr. Do?

‎The patient insists on it.

‎I can't persuade him.

‎He says he needs to stay sharp right now.

‎You can't blame him ‎if you take a look outside…

‎WAGE WITHHOLDING, MISMANAGEMENT, ‎AND ABUSE OF POWER

‎He just arrived.

‎Dr. Ma Seong-gyu is downstairs.

‎Dr. Do.

‎Can you do it?

‎MONTHLY RENTALS AVAILABLE

‎1.5 MILLION PER MONTH (NEGOTIABLE)

‎It's 1.5 million won a month?

‎So freaking expensive.

‎GUSEO UNIVERSITY SEONAM MEDICAL CENTER

‎Park Gwang-cheol, step down!

‎-Step down! ‎-Step down!

‎Stop withholding wages!

‎-Stop withholding! ‎-Stop withholding!

‎Park Gwang-cheol, get out!

‎-Get out! ‎-Get out!

‎Stop withholding wages!

‎-Stop withholding! ‎-Stop withholding!

‎Are you here for yourself, ‎or is someone else sick?

‎-No, thank you. ‎-Just take it.

‎Think of me as your grandma and eat it.

‎I can eat that without a problem.

‎Thank you.

‎Stop withholding wages!

‎-Stop withholding! ‎-There he is!

‎We're patients too.

‎Look, he's going inside.

‎-We're all patients here. ‎-All of us are here to see a doctor.

‎We're patients too!

‎Let me ask you something.

‎Yes, sir.

‎I'm really sick, aren't I?

‎I actually have cancer?

‎Yes, you have cancer.

‎No one believes me.

‎I've faked being sick ‎to dodge the parliamentary audit.

‎And I faked collapsing ‎to postpone my trial.

‎Now that I'm actually sick…

‎I can barely stand, ‎but they're kicking up a fuss.

‎Getting stressed ‎will make your condition worse.

‎Dr. Do has in-depth knowledge ‎of treatment and management

‎on top of excellent surgical skills.

‎You're in good hands.

‎You'll go far.

‎Thank you. I'm Ma Seong-gyu, by the way.

‎Before we go up to my room,

‎let's stop by ‎the pediatric cancer ward I funded.

‎I couldn't bask in the glory of it ‎because of the trial.

‎I hear there's a plaque ‎with my name on it.

‎Yes, sir.

‎This is the story of a lone wolf.

‎Hey, Gye Su-jeong.

‎I need this.

‎A solitary figure that has emerged ‎in the era of mafia in white,

‎where even the practice of saving lives ‎is driven by money and power.

‎Emergency patient!

‎She belongs to no group.

‎She belongs to no system.

‎Dr. Gye!

‎This person right here…

‎Why that…

‎-Gye Su-jeong! ‎-…despises authority

‎-and answers to no one. ‎-Wait!

‎Her only weapons are her medical license

‎and the surgical skills ‎she has honed from the bottom up.

‎No pneumothorax.

‎Miss, what's your name?

‎Lee Ju-hui.

‎I have type 1 diabetes.

‎-Pull up her EMR now. ‎-Yes, Doctor.

‎This is humiliating.

‎Who was that crazy lady?

‎Meet Gye Su-jeong, a surgeon.

‎Also known as‎…

‎Doctor X.

‎Sun and Steel's chairman, ‎Park Gwang-cheol,

‎has allegedly faked being a patient…

‎Man, seriously?

‎…‎in order to suspend ‎the execution of his sentence.

‎Are we really working with her?

‎We have to.

‎Director Bu decided on it,

‎and we're short on staff.

‎But come on, she does whatever she wants.

‎She had an emergency patient.

‎Well, yes.

‎But my face is plastered ‎all over the news now.

‎Hey, you look great on camera.

‎Oh, come on.

‎Hang in there.

‎Let's get revenge.

‎Let's throw her off so she can't focus.

‎Okay.

‎-Do you want coffee? ‎-Yes, coffee.

‎Yeah, coffee.

‎Earbuds.

‎I need you to assist with ‎Dr. Do's surgery.

‎You're not going in?

‎It'd be too obvious if I went in.

‎He'll definitely know ‎that I don't trust his surgical skills

‎if I try to assist.

‎But you're at the right level ‎to assist him.

‎Sure.

‎Anyway, how did Dr. Do end up…

‎It happened over drinks.

‎I guess Dr. Do was attentive to him,

‎which put the chairman in a great mood.

‎So he assigned Dr. Do ‎as his primary attending.

‎He chose his primary attending ‎based on his mood?

‎He knew that everyone here ‎would fight over his surgery,

‎so he just chose the easiest one ‎to push around.

‎And Dr. Do couldn't refuse.

‎Piece of trash.

‎"Piece of trash"?

‎Don't make eye contact.

‎Right.

‎-Don't look at her. ‎-Don't look.

‎Feels like she won.

‎The surgical staff room ‎used to feel like home,

‎but now it's too uncomfortable.

‎Let's use the partition here to hide her.

‎-Want to put it up? ‎-Yes.

‎Yeah, good idea.

‎-Not seeing her makes me anxious. ‎-I can't tell what she's doing.

‎-Should we put it away? ‎-Should we?

‎-Put it away. ‎-Yes.

‎Lift it.

‎Put it away.

‎-Seeing her makes me uncomfortable. ‎-Darn it.

‎I'm uncomfortable when I see her, ‎anxious when I don't.

‎She gets on my nerves.

‎-Hello, Dr. Do. ‎-Hello.

‎Put that over there.

‎What?

‎I mean, yes, sir.

‎You came to work, Dr. Gye.

‎No, people walk through here.

‎I didn't tell you to put it there. ‎Move it up.

‎What?

‎Put it on the desk.

‎But Dr. Gye's desk is…

‎Let's do this, intern.

‎What's this?

‎My employment terms.

‎"Joining director rounds, ‎attending rounds, and work dinners."

‎I don't do that.

‎"Writing papers for attendings ‎and compiling data."

‎I don't do those either.

‎I know.

‎I didn't bring the files here ‎for you to prep my paper.

‎I just pulled whatever might be useful.

‎You can take a look if you want.

‎But…

‎I'm afraid ‎there's nowhere else to put them.

‎This room is just so small.

‎I'll take some and put them on my desk.

‎-It'll be easier for Dr. Gye… ‎-Hey, Park Tae-gyeong.

‎-Hey, Dr. Park. ‎-Dr. Gye?

‎Does she even have anywhere else to go?

‎-Nice. ‎-Dr. Park.

‎So, how's life as an intern these days…

‎From now on, you're Gye Su-jeong's CCTV.

‎What?

‎Keep an eye on Dr. Gye.

‎But I'm an intern, sir.

‎I have to study.

‎I assisted multiple attendings ‎while doing my studies.

‎You just need to watch one mad dog.

‎-"Mad dog"? ‎-Yeah.

‎After that last surgery, ‎we're calling her a mad dog.

‎Not "mad doc." It's "mad dog."

‎That's what we decided.

‎That seems pretty harsh.

‎It's not nice to call people names.

‎How would you feel ‎if people called you "Ma Fork-gyu"?

‎What did you just say?

‎Oh, the CCTV power is on now.

‎"Fork-you"?

‎Goodness.

‎I've been looking all over for you.

‎Are you going to work from here? ‎Then let's go in.

‎Oh, you left your bag in the staff room.

‎I have my wallet. It's my treat…

‎Strawberry cake, ‎Earl Grey pound cake, a croffle combo,

‎and one large, sweet vanilla latte.

‎Bring her here.

‎Bring that mad dog right now.

‎It seems it was such an emergency

‎that she wasn't thinking.

‎Hey.

‎Mr. New-Director, listen up.

‎If I die, a lot of people will--

‎Will be so sad and upset, of course.

‎They'll have it easy.

‎They'll be very happy ‎to blame me for everything.

‎They'll dump the mess they made ‎right into my grave.

‎Which is why

‎you need to save my life.

‎Do whatever it takes to save me, got it?

‎Answer me!

‎-Yes, sir. ‎-Yes, sir.

‎It's nice to see you enjoy your food.

‎Oh, you probably need your bag…

‎You had your wallet? Then why didn't you…

‎I'm broke.

‎Why are you broke?

‎"Employment terms. ‎No personal talk whatsoever."

‎What if I get you some blueberry cake--

‎I spent my allowance.

‎You get an allowance? From whom?

‎-Ms. Jang at the agency. ‎-I see.

‎So she manages your money.

‎Do you live together?

‎But your salary isn't peanuts ‎like some kid's allowance.

‎How much do you get?

‎A hundred thousand won.

‎A hundred thousand won per day is plenty.

‎-Per month. ‎-What?

‎That's insane. ‎Does she have something on you?

‎I'm in debt.

‎What? Is it a lot?

‎Yeah. I get in trouble if I don't listen.

‎Trouble?

‎What do you mean? ‎Does she hit you or something?

‎Yeah. She hits me.

‎She hit me yesterday ‎because I spent my allowance.

‎By any chance,

‎did this Ms. Jang ‎take your passport or ID?

‎Yeah. She takes care of all that.

‎Su-jeong likes cake

‎Su-jeong, here's some tasty cake.

‎Cake!

‎If you want it, go to work and make money.

‎You doctor-slave.

‎Put your hands up!

‎I need your signature.

‎I took out a loan under your name.

‎I want more of this.

‎Of course.

‎I can buy however much you want.

‎I have a lot of money.

‎Eat as much as you want.

‎You're a good person.

‎Until I finish this, that is.

‎Do you crave anything these days?

‎-Jjajangmyeon. ‎-I'll treat you someday.

‎Treat me today.

‎When do you get off? I leave at six.

‎But I don't. Come on, you know that.

‎Get off work with me.

‎I'm sure kiosks aren't easy

‎for patients or elderly people, ‎even with a kiosk attendant.

‎I'm still young, but you saw ‎how much trouble I had too.

‎It's hard to read, you get nervous…

‎And you worry about the people behind you.

‎-Right. Then you freeze up even more. ‎-Excuse me.

‎And it makes you think you're incompetent.

‎May I help you?

‎Yes, please.

‎Thank you.

‎Still, it's there to help people.

‎It's there to help the hospital.

‎Does that look like it helps people?

‎I didn't think ‎you'd notice things like that.

‎Try not to think too much ‎about what happened in the staff room.

‎What?

‎Getting kicked out…

‎You know, getting bullied.

‎I had no idea.

‎Anyway, try to ‎keep a low profile for a bit.

‎Yeong-seon.

‎-I would've done this for you. ‎-There you are.

‎I was trying out the kiosk myself.

‎How's Ju-hui?

‎-The pain went away, but now she's mad. ‎-Right.

‎Why is she mad?

‎I can't blame her.

‎She's been sick all her life, ‎and now she has cancer.

‎Of all things…

‎-Insert your credit card. ‎-Your card, please.

‎They want an interim payment.

‎Like we'd skip out on the bill.

‎Hold on.

‎Hey, that over there.

‎What's that vest doing in here?

‎Get rid of that.

‎Get rid of it now.

‎-It's kind of amazing. ‎-You need to leave.

‎-What? ‎-Who are you?

‎-What on earth? ‎-What's going on?

‎What are you doing?

‎-Oh, are you scared? ‎-Yeong-ju, no.

‎Is that why you're doing this?

‎What are you doing?

‎-Give it back! ‎-Wait.

‎She's with me. She's not here to protest.

‎-What are you doing? ‎-Yeong-ju!

‎-Don't push her wheelchair! ‎-Look.

‎-She's with me. ‎-Let go.

‎Take your hands off her! ‎What's wrong with you?

‎-I'm her caregiver. ‎-Hey, it's that nutjob.

‎You said she'd be gone.

‎-Why is she still here? ‎-I'm my sister and niece's caregiver!

‎-Will you please… ‎-Excuse me!

‎Your card's maxed out.

‎My credit card…

‎My wallet is in that vest. ‎Can you give it to my sister?

‎I said let go. Are you insane?

‎-Come on. ‎-What's the matter with you?

‎-Let go of me! ‎-Use your words, okay?

‎-Are you insane? ‎-Just let her go first, okay?

‎Why are you doing this?

‎The less they have, the louder they shout.

‎Look at those pathetic losers.

‎-Sir… ‎-"Pathetic"?

‎Pathetic?

‎And whose fault is this?

‎Give my aunt her paycheck!

‎Give it to her!

‎-Ju-hui! ‎-Pay my aunt right now!

‎Ju-hui!

‎-Ju-hui, stop. ‎-Pay her!

‎-Careful! ‎-Ju-hui!

‎-Has she lost her mind? ‎-What the hell are you doing?

‎Ju-hui!

‎-Come on, guys. ‎-Push!

‎-Stop it! ‎-Ju-hui!

‎-Allow me to push you. ‎-You'll hurt yourself.

‎-Please stop. ‎-Ju-hui, stop!

‎Please let go of her. You'll hurt her.

‎-Please let her go. ‎-Let go of her!

‎Wait a minute!

‎What do you think you're doing?

‎Is that blood?

‎Is she bleeding?

‎-She's bleeding. ‎-Let me take a look.

‎Let go of me now!

‎Ju-hui.

‎-Ju-hui. ‎-Oh god.

‎Are you okay?

‎-Where did the chairman go? ‎-Ju-hui, are you okay?

‎-Where is he? ‎-Ju-hui.

‎-Ju-hui. ‎-You're bleeding.

‎He's right.

‎We're pathetic.

‎Hey.

‎Lee Ju-hui.

‎Lee Ju-hui!

‎Ju-hui.

‎Ju-hui.

‎-Ju-hui. ‎-What on earth?

‎What's this blood?

‎You scared me.

‎You're back already? Where's the chairman?

‎I parked him.

‎Hey!

‎Hey!

‎Your sister will join ‎after a quick talk with the hospital.

‎Okay.

‎I want you to leave when she comes.

‎Why? I need to be here.

‎Two balls and one strike.

‎Here comes pitch number four.

‎Right down the middle, strike!

‎Two-and-two count.

‎Ma'am, can we step outside

‎and talk about the patient's surgery?

‎Sure.

‎Talk to her when my aunt comes.

‎Just a minute, Doctor.

‎Here.

‎Thank you.

‎Dr. Gye.

‎Type 1 diabetes and a pancreatoblastoma.

‎That's a rare case.

‎Really? Is it that serious?

‎-It's a disaster. ‎-It's a disaster?

‎How did he miss the ball? ‎This inning is a disaster.

‎You're a rare case too.

‎Excuse me.

‎A base hit through the left side!

‎Riding back-to-back hits ‎to build some momentum…

‎Where are you going?

‎Dr. Gye!

‎What is it? What about Dr. Gye?

‎She disappeared.

‎She disappeared? Where to?

‎Yes, Doctor.

‎Oh, Dr. Gye…

‎What? She got into trouble?

‎When did this happen?

‎But she just disappeared.

‎-Dr. Gye… ‎-Where's Dr. Gye? I want to see her face.

‎-I know she's here. ‎-Is that her?

‎There she is.

‎Yeah, that's her. Right?

‎-Yeah. ‎-Look at her enjoying the food.

‎Dr. Gye.

‎-Dr. Gye! ‎-What's going on?

‎What's wrong?

‎Dr. Gye.

‎What were you doing ‎before we went to the café?

‎I was in the hallway.

‎What were you doing there?

‎I saw a dizzy patient lying there,

‎so I asked her a few questions ‎and sent her to ENT.

‎She had Ménière's.

‎What does a temporary worker like you ‎know about Ménière's?

‎Lower your voice, please.

‎You're actually getting upset over that?

‎That patient was waiting ‎for her IM appointment.

‎But now she's lying on a couch in ENT.

‎-Did they run the tests? ‎-We sure did.

‎She can't hear low frequencies, ‎and she has nystagmus.

‎It's Ménière's.

‎Problem solved.

‎That's not the issue!

‎The issue is that she meddled ‎in another department's case.

‎She went from one small-town clinic ‎to another for years

‎where they brushed it off as old age ‎and gave her fluids or strong meds.

‎Her child finally brought her ‎to a big hospital in the city,

‎so why send her in circles?

‎Even her child dismissed her symptoms,

‎saying it was late-life depression.

‎It's true. ‎That's why she held onto me and cried.

‎It's the first time anyone ‎gave her a clear diagnosis.

‎She wept as she thanked me.

‎I was so embarrassed.

‎But wait, did she speak to me informally?

‎-Yes. ‎-Yeah.

‎You're obnoxiously rude, ‎just like the rumors say.

‎How fascinating.

‎How dare a butcher diagnose patients?

‎"How dare a butcher diagnose patients?"

‎-You'd better watch it. ‎-What?

‎How would you feel if a temping internist ‎stole a surgical patient?

‎Let's calm down.

‎This isn't a fight between IM and surgery.

‎The problem is that Dr. Gye here ‎keeps crossing the line,

‎so we should focus on…

‎All right. Just apologize.

‎Oh, I don't need an apology.

‎I just came ‎to put a face to a name.

‎I was curious about ‎the notorious Gye-snake.

‎See you around.

‎You're pretty interesting.

‎See you guys.

‎I need more than an apology.

‎I want to see disciplinary action ‎and a pay cut.

‎None of that applies to me ‎since I'm a temporary worker.

‎How dare you keep…

‎She keeps talking back,

‎but she's not wrong, ‎so you can't argue with her.

‎I get it. Just leave for now.

‎We'll handle things internally

‎and give you an update.

‎You need to set her straight.

‎I won't let this slide.

‎Okay.

‎Jeez, I'm getting heartburn.

‎He's so damn loud.

‎He really does have a nasty temper.

‎He'll be on antacids forever.

‎Why would you do that in the hallway?

‎Pork cutlet.

‎-Can I go back for more? It's good. ‎-What?

‎-Dr. Gye, please read the room. ‎-This place is a hidden gem…

‎-I'll get you some more in a bit. ‎-I…

‎Look…

‎Park Tae-gyeong, where were you?

‎I'm sorry. I had no idea ‎she'd done that in that short time.

‎But I don't think ‎Dr. Gye did anything bad--

‎Right, it wasn't bad.

‎But she did cross the line.

‎On purpose too.

‎What do you mean?

‎To get back to the surgical staff room.

‎She's getting in trouble ‎to get her desk back.

‎Are you saying you kicked her out?

‎You're not kids. ‎What's the matter with you?

‎You're right.

‎Dr. Gye is really meticulous, isn't she?

‎That's what I'm saying.

‎Is that what you really think?

‎Look at her.

‎She's disguising herself

‎by messing up her hair ‎for a few more slices of pork cutlet.

‎You call her meticulous?

‎Our first patient is ‎Park Gwang-cheol, 67 years old.

‎He's a VIP who has supported ‎the hospital over the years.

‎We should make sure ‎he's comfortable during his stay here.

‎The primary surgeon for this case ‎is Dr. Do Yun-sik.

‎That man is a VIP?

‎The diagnosis is pancreatic cancer ‎in the head of the pancreas,

‎measuring 4 cm.

‎We'll proceed with the Whipple procedure.

‎-I'll do my best-- ‎-Objection.

‎There's a possibility the cancer ‎has invaded the SMA or SMV.

‎That won't change anything.

‎The VIP refuses chemotherapy.

‎We'll perform the surgery

‎while preserving the SMA ‎as much as possible.

‎Along with the tumor? ‎Then it's an R2 resection.

‎What's the point of surgery then?

‎He's doing chemo after the surgery.

‎Let's resect it along with the vessel ‎and do an R0 resection.

‎Are you kidding me?

‎An R0 resection?

‎You think we haven't thought of that?

‎Are you trying to get us screwed?

‎Every surgeon knows ‎not to mess with the SMA.

‎Or maybe you don't.

‎I'm okay with messing with it,

‎but I guess you're not.

‎Are you saying you can do it?

‎-Yes. ‎-You'll do it yourself?

‎-If you fail, you'll have to-- ‎-I…

‎don't fail.

‎Our next patient is Lee Ju-hui, ‎a 15-year-old female.

‎She is Dr. Do Yun-sik's patient.

‎Due to the VIP's request ‎to move his surgery up,

‎Ms. Lee Ju-hui's surgery ‎has been rescheduled with her consent.

‎Ms. Lee Ju-hui's surgery…

‎will be performed by Dr. Gye.

‎Director Bu.

‎She's a very important patient ‎for my case report.

‎-I don't approve. ‎-I don't approve either.

‎You think it's acceptable ‎to delay a surgery?

‎Continue.

‎Yes, sir.

‎There's an 8 cm tumor ‎in the body and tail of the pancreas.

‎The imaging scan recommended ‎checking for pancreatoblastoma,

‎so we performed ‎an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy,

‎confirming the diagnosis.

‎Fortunately, there was no evidence ‎of distant metastasis.

‎There.

‎Don't get into trouble, ‎or you'll get fired.

‎Keep to yourself for a bit.

‎You still get to operate.

‎Considering Su-jeong's personality,

‎you think she can do that?

‎Man, that was a narrow escape.

‎If Dr. Do operates,

‎the patient could die.

‎Now that's how you do it.

‎He's that bad?

‎He got his position ‎through papers, research, and politics,

‎not with his surgical skills.

‎That world hospital doctors live in?

‎Face,

‎prestige,

‎and authority.

‎These things hold it together.

‎Without them, they're not doctors.

‎If that's the case, ‎they weren't real doctors to begin with.

‎And when those things…

‎suddenly disappear,

‎that's when we go in.

‎Oh, darn it.

‎-Face down. ‎-Oh, right.

‎This is what you get for losing.

‎How can someone be so blinded by ambition?

‎Ms. Lee Ju-hui is a patient too.

‎Do you get paid more for VIP surgeries?

‎Keep an eye on her tomorrow.

‎And tell her to apologize to IM.

‎See you.

‎-Have a good night, sir. ‎-Thanks.

‎Dr. Gye might come back here tomorrow, so…

‎Complications can include ‎pancreatic fistula, peritonitis,

‎infections, blood clots, ‎pulmonary and cardiac complications,

‎bowel obstruction, ‎and postoperative bleeding.

‎Do you have any questions?

‎Why did the doctor change?

‎I thought he was a senior physician, ‎but she's…

‎She's very good too. I guarantee it.

‎Seriously?

‎He went on about ‎how I was such a rare case

‎and insisted on doing it.

‎What a joke.

‎How long will the surgery take?

‎We estimate around three to four hours.

‎-It's so long. ‎-Yeah.

‎Can I just not do the surgery?

‎What?

‎-What did you just say? ‎-Are you insane?

‎Hey.

‎Your mom and I cashed out ‎your college fund.

‎You need to focus on ‎recovering after the surgery.

‎Let's be real.

‎Even if I live, I won't get into college.

‎So hit the books.

‎I looked it up.

‎The prognosis or whatever ‎wasn't very good.

‎In my condition, ‎I'm pretty much done for, right?

‎Hey.

‎That damn internet ‎is messing with you kids' heads.

‎Don't listen to her.

‎This doctor can do the surgery.

‎Ms. Lee, you need this surgery--

‎How…

‎-How could you say that in front of me? ‎-Stop it, both of you.

‎Let me see the form.

‎We'll sign it now ‎and go outside to bicker.

‎Ms. Lee, please don't do that!

‎-Ju-hui! ‎-Let's stop.

‎-Hey! ‎-I'm sick of this!

‎I've had enough, okay?

‎Look, I'm 15 years old.

‎You know what the kids say?

‎They call me a junkie

‎because I give myself ‎injections in the restroom.

‎You'll die without your insulin shots. ‎They don't know anything.

‎But now I have cancer.

‎Mom, you're in a wheelchair.

‎Isn't it hard to look after me?

‎No. I'm your mother.

‎What about you, Aunt?

‎Let's be honest. ‎It's been the hardest for you.

‎Your sister is in a wheelchair, ‎and your niece has cancer.

‎You take on twice as many ‎wallpapering jobs to support us.

‎And you do the household chores.

‎You don't deserve this.

‎That's for me to deal with.

‎You're making it harder right now. ‎Give me that.

‎Please…

‎Just leave me alone.

‎Just go, all of you.

‎Just let me die!

‎We all die someday.

‎So you don't have to rush things.

‎There's no difference ‎if you die today or next week.

‎-Dr. Gye, you shouldn't say-- ‎-It makes no difference.

‎But without surgery, ‎you'll die within the month.

‎Even if we operate…

‎I guess you'll still die.

‎In about a hundred years.

‎She's 15, so she'd have that long, right?

‎Well…

‎But there's one condition.

‎I operate on you.

‎Because I don't fail.

‎As long as my patient is still breathing, ‎I'll save them no matter what.

‎You decide.

‎Do you want to die in a month, ‎or in a hundred years?

‎"Do you want to die in a month, ‎or in a hundred years?"

‎What was the point of me ‎explaining all that?

‎All it took was that one question.

‎But if you fail, we're in serious trouble.

‎Naturally. Someone could die.

‎Right.

‎Still, you've been reading that chart…

‎What's this?

‎Have you been reading ‎Mr. Park Gwang-cheol's chart?

‎Dr. Gye.

‎I'm counting on you ‎for Ms. Lee Ju-hui's surgery.

‎I could do it, of course,

‎but Director Bu was kind enough ‎to ease my burden.

‎-We got the signed consent form. ‎-Are you sure you don't want to switch?

‎Dr. Gye.

‎At least tell me why you're saying that.

‎You can't do it with your skills.

‎-Hey. Why you… ‎-Sir.

‎Too bad you aren't as good ‎as you are stubborn.

‎We heard that. We can hear you!

‎People can hear you. ‎Please calm down, sir.

‎Seriously?

‎Hold on.

‎Su-jeong, come and eat!

‎-She must be mapping out the surgery. ‎-Yes.

‎She likes operating more than eating.

‎Just one!

‎One for each person.

‎Why won't you go home?

‎You're eating all three meals here.

‎Is today a special day?

‎-You made braised short ribs-- ‎-Hey!

‎Have kimchi.

‎DOCTOR DO YUN-SIK

‎You can't do it with your skills.

‎Ms. Lee Ju-hui's surgery

‎will be performed by Dr. Gye.

‎CASE 2: ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT ‎DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES AT AGE 5

‎Found it.

‎GUSEO UNIVERSITY SEONAM MEDICAL CENTER

‎Right, you have ‎the pancreatoblastoma patient today.

‎In OR 5, right?

‎It's not too late to switch.

‎Let's do a time-out.

‎Stop what you're doing and focus.

‎Patient's name and ID number?

‎It's 11384675,

‎Park Gwang-cheol.

‎OPERATION TIME, TIME, ANESTHESIA TIME

‎Scalpel.

‎The induction was uneventful, ‎and her vitals are good.

‎Then we'll begin with the time-out.

‎Ms. Lee Ju-hui's subtotal…

‎Wipe.

‎Harmonic.

‎Wipe.

‎Vessel loop.

‎Long Kelly.

‎I see the SMA.

‎Why are you surprised?

‎This is nothing new.

‎This…

‎It shouldn't be like this.

‎What's wrong, Dr. Do?

‎It's spread too much.

‎It's worse than we expected.

‎The vessel…

‎-It's… ‎-It's completely encased by the tumor.

‎It appears the SMA invasion is severe.

‎Yun-sik…

‎What are you going to do?

‎A partial resection

‎won't change the prognosis.

‎We…

‎We'll have to close up.

‎Dr. Do.

‎He's not just any patient. ‎The hospital's fate rides on…

‎Oh, the mic.

‎Dr. Do.

‎Are you really going to close up?

‎What?

‎What if I won't allow it?

‎But Director…

‎Any further resection could do the patient ‎more harm than good.

‎Will you tell the patient you opened, ‎then closed him right back?

‎But…

‎Don't you think

‎you should do everything you can now ‎so you can tell him that later?

‎Then please contact ‎Mr. Park's next of kin…

‎They're not here.

‎No one came. Why would they?

‎Damn it…

‎Everyone's waiting for him to die.

‎His family took turns calling ‎to ask about his chances of survival.

‎This is Bu Seung-gwon.

‎We're not religious.

‎I need to try something.

‎Should I take up a religion?

‎If Ju-hui lives, yes.

‎If she doesn't, no.

‎It'll be their loss.

‎Go grab a bite to eat.

‎I'm fine.

‎Ju-hui went in on an empty stomach.

‎I can hold on too.

‎There's a chocolate bar in the back.

‎Yeong-seon.

‎Look what I found.

‎TO MY FAMILY

‎Transecting the pancreas.

‎Black 60 stapler.

‎This is good.

‎The adhesion isn't too bad.

‎It's still pretty big.

‎I'll get it. Please focus on the surgery.

‎This is OR 5.

‎Right angle.

‎I'm Park Tae-gyeong, an intern. ‎Please go ahead.

‎Not bad.

‎Tell Dr. Gye to come to OR 1.

‎Excuse me?

‎But Dr. Gye is in the middle of surgery.

‎Just have her come.

‎I'm sorry, Director. I can't do that.

‎We need more time here.

‎Dr. Gye needs to operate longer…

‎This is Dr. Gye. I'm on my way.

‎Dr. Gye?

‎Are you giving up on Ms. Lee?

‎-Move. ‎-Why?

‎Because she's not a VIP?

‎Because she's from ‎a low-income, disabled family?

‎Priority.

‎By priority, do you mean success?

‎Is that the kind of doctor you are?

‎I said move.

‎Even when other doctors criticized you ‎for chasing money and success,

‎I never believed it.

‎So how could you do this?

‎You're a doctor!

‎You have a duty to save your patient!

‎You promised her a hundred years!

‎You swore to save her ‎as long as she's breathing.

‎Now it's starting to get fun.

‎You're a doctor!

‎You have a duty to save your patient!

‎You promised her a hundred years!

‎You swore to save her ‎as long as she's breathing.

‎-What are you… ‎-I called her.

‎-Director Bu! ‎-I'm taking over.

‎Sir, you can't do this!

‎Wait a minute. Then…

‎-Who's in charge in OR 5? ‎-Go there if you're worried.

‎Why, you mad dog…

‎Are you insane? ‎Did you abandon the patient?

‎Dr. Bae is already on his way.

‎Out of the way.

‎Move!

‎Dr. Gye.

‎I'm counting on you.

‎As expected. Please move.

‎What will you do?

‎RESECTION PHASE ‎(RESECTION AND VASCULAR DISSECTION)

‎We're going to harvest ‎the great saphenous vein.

‎-What? ‎-Let's open up the drape and prep the leg.

‎Scissors, please.

‎The leg? Why?

‎What do you think you're doing?

‎Why are you changing the procedure? ‎My next surgery is--

‎Please get Dr. Jo from OR 5.

‎What? Hey!

‎Understood.

‎Dr. Kim, please go to OR 5.

‎That won't be necessary.

‎Keep the mean BP at 70.

‎You too, Dr. Jo?

‎How could you leave a patient like this?

‎Try caring about work ethic all the time.

‎-EBL? ‎-It's 100 cc.

‎Prep for vascular anastomosis.

‎Get 7-0 Prolene and the loupes ready.

‎Don't tell me you're trying to get…

‎that ‎vessel.

‎I guess all that research ‎has really sharpened your eye.

‎You.

‎I'd like you to assist me.

‎Get which vessel?

‎I need to know ‎what you're doing to assist.

‎We'll now begin

‎an en bloc Whipple with SMA resection.

‎What?

‎Wait…

‎Are you saying…

‎she finished this in an hour?

‎Yes.

‎Dr. Bae, did the surgery go well?

‎In just an hour?

‎And there's no bleeding.

‎What kind of doctor says that?

‎What?

‎Hemostasis.

‎Yes. Dr. Jo said hemostasis was complete.

‎So this…

‎This is Gye Su-jeong's work?

‎We'll harvest the great saphenous vein ‎from the femoral region,

‎followed by an en bloc resection ‎of the pancreatic cancer,

‎including the SMA and SMV.

‎We'll reconstruct the SMA ‎with the great saphenous vein.

‎For the SMV, we'll use ‎an 8 mm synthetic graft.

‎Hold on!

‎What are you saying?

‎Dr. Do, does she mean…

‎Are you crazy? ‎Are you practicing on a patient?

‎-You're really doing this? ‎-Yes.

‎You can't take such a risk!

‎If you fail, he'll die.

‎He'll die from bowel necrosis!

‎Dr. Do Yun-sik.

‎Follow Dr. Gye's lead.

‎Also, just for the record,

‎Dr. Gye was never in this OR.

‎A self-retaining retractor ‎and loupes, please.

‎Harmonic.

‎EBL is 320 cc.

‎Bowel anastomosis complete.

‎Please monitor the drain output ‎for any signs of bleeding.

‎But you can do that yourself…

‎Wait, are you clocking…

‎This is the least he can do ‎to save face as a senior physician.

‎Director Bu.

‎Double surgeries mean double the fees.

‎I give you my word

‎this will remain confidential ‎from the family and outsiders.

‎-Understood. ‎-However,

‎you'll need to pay in cash.

‎I'll be back soon.

‎I'm sorry, sir.

‎Yun-sik.

‎Your first instinct was to close up.

‎You didn't consider trying anything else.

‎Your first thought was to quit.

‎-But-- ‎-At that moment,

‎you'd already left the OR.

‎I didn't leave!

‎I offered to assist

‎and stayed to the very end…

‎to be useful somehow.

‎Do you know how humiliating that is?

‎Facing that overwhelming wall,

‎knowing my skills ‎aren't good enough to clear it…

‎I…

‎I still…

‎stayed in the OR until the very end.

‎I still held on.

‎And I'll continue to hold on.

‎And…

‎I'll make my mark at this hospital…

‎and achieve everything I've dreamed of.

‎Director Bu.

‎You know, right?

‎You know my dream.

‎All right.

‎I understand.

‎He's so tacky and old-fashioned.

‎And his skills aren't good.

‎But he was pretty cool just now.

‎Yeah.

‎Why are you crouching back here?

‎Oh, have you seen Dr. Gye?

‎That name just ruined the moment.

‎Gye Su-jeong.

‎You went overboard ‎telling him to watch her.

‎Why are you looking for Dr. Gye ‎in the men's locker room?

‎Oh, you're right.

‎-Why? ‎-Well, earlier…

‎It's nothing, sir.

‎Did she really take it out in an hour?

‎Yeah.

‎I think

‎she'd already planned to ‎perform both surgeries.

‎-It's impossible otherwise. ‎-Really?

‎Darn it.

‎I had no idea.

‎Please excuse me.

‎What's wrong with him?

‎TO MY FAMILY

‎To my family.

‎MY AUNT, ME, MY MOM

‎Dear Mom and Aunt‎…

‎Just in case I die today ‎instead of a hundred years from now‎…

‎The two of you

‎love me only because ‎I'm your daughter and niece.

‎Otherwise, I don't think ‎you would've really liked me.

‎But you know what?

‎Even if you weren't my mom

‎or my aunt,

‎I think I would've liked you.

‎Both of you are

‎amazing and wonderful people.

‎That's what I wanted to tell you,

‎instead of things like "I love you."

‎-I'm here. About my shares-- ‎-You're denying it?

‎-It was you, wasn't it? ‎-No, are you serious? It wasn't me.

‎What are you talking about? ‎I suggested the opposite.

‎Oh, come on.

‎Let's get along better

‎next time we meet.

‎But not as each other's caregivers.

‎Let's just have fun together.

‎Promise we'll meet again.

‎-I bought beer. ‎-Great!

‎-Does she know we're having bulgogi? ‎-Yeah.

‎She's probably over there right now.

‎Goodness.

‎She must be so excited.

‎Of course

‎I'm excited too

‎Money's coming in

‎My wallet is smiling

‎I'm so happy

‎LUCKY BATHHOUSE

‎BANANA MILK

‎This is from Chairman Park Gwang-cheol.

‎He wants the surgical team ‎to have dinner on him.

‎All the more reason

‎for me to take it then.

‎CHAIRMAN PARK IN RECOVERY ‎SEARCH AND SEIZURE OF SUN & STEEL

‎That's right.

‎You need to be alive ‎to face punishment and pay the price.

‎Let's see how long you live, Chairman.

‎Look up that procedure right now.

‎-I want details. Hurry up. ‎-Okay.

‎Dr. Gye probably planned to use ‎that procedure before going in, right?

‎That's not important.

‎What matters is its implication.

‎Which is?

‎That she's a mad dog

‎who'll push ahead with surgery ‎no matter the risk to the patient

‎for her own success.

‎Dr. Gye, why are you here ‎and not at your desk?

‎The suck-ups in surgery kicked me out.

‎Oh, the thing is…

‎It's okay. I'm fine here.

‎I already delivered your pay ‎to Ms. Jang for this case.

‎It was a tall order,

‎so I'm grateful.

‎It wasn't much of a tall order.

‎Dr. Gye Su-jeong.

‎I found it.

‎So this is the procedure ‎that Dr. Gye used.

‎There's an article about it ‎from seven years ago.

‎Okay.

‎"The GI surgery team at ‎Cubanacan University of Medical Sciences

‎successfully performed an en bloc Whipple ‎with an SMA reconstruction."

‎"It promised a cure for a patient

‎who had previously been ‎considered inoperable."

‎"However, the patient died

‎two months after the surgery."

‎You're bound to fail at some point.

‎It seems like you've already failed, sir.

‎"The cause of death remains unknown."

‎"The surgeon's name was not revealed."

‎"But the pseudonym in the chart was‎…

‎Doctor X."

‎DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

‎DOCTOR X: MAFIA IN WHITE

‎Are you saying Dr. Gye is Doctor X?

‎What are you doing?

‎We're losing blood faster ‎than we're losing time.

‎Don't you dare do it every day!

‎The hospital's been ‎in an uproar these days

‎-because of her? ‎-Transfer her now.

‎No. We must treat her here ‎no matter what.

‎We have someone who can operate.

‎I temporarily assigned a new doctor here.

‎-Who is it? ‎-The surgery has begun.

‎Fire her right now.

‎We need to ban her from medicine!

‎Dr. Gye, please wake up!
