You can wrap it up.

Monitor the analgesia nociception index.

And check his ability to sense temperature.

(ANI: To check one's pain levels through the changes of ECG)

Please don't move.

You're going to inject that?

We need to run a test in order to diagnose you.

I told you I feel excruciating pain even when the wind blows.

I keep telling you that it hurts.

Why won't you believe me?

We do believe you.

We believe you, and that's why we're trying to find the cause.

But what if you fail to find it...

even after I go through all of this?

Then we'll have to run a few other tests...

until we find the cause.

And you just want me to feel all that pain?

We'll treat and cure you once we find the cause.

If you need surgery, we'll put you through one.

And if you need medicine, we'll prescribe them to you.

But what if everything...

just ends up being useless?

If I still don't get better,

will you help me die in peace?

That's not part of our job.

Why not?

Your job is to relieve a patient from feeling pain.

But...

why do you turn away...

when a patient would rather die...

than to feel this much pain?

Why?

Don't worry.

We're not going to turn away...

from your pain.

Dr. Kang, let's talk outside.

What did you mean by what you just said?

Are you saying you're going to do what he asks?

- No, that's not... - Stop responding to nonsense.

Just focus on running the exam.

He's scared.

He's not saying that because he really wants to die.

He's just scared...

that he might not recover.

Excessive empathy with your patients.

Do you still not understand how harmful it can be?

Focus on his symptoms rather than his emotions.

That's how we'll be able to cure him.

- Jun. - Yes?

- Aren't they done with the exam? - I don't know.

What's wrong with him?

- Well... - Because I don't feel pain.

- What? - We're not done with his exam.

- Oh, sorry. - Sorry.

I'm sorry. We'll begin the exam.

Dr. Kang.

Here.

(June 11, 2018: My elbow hurt this morning...)

You kept a diary of your pain.

Can you promise me...

that you'll read my diary...

until the very end?

I promise.

Let's begin...

the exam.

Choi Sung Hoon, 47 years old.

He broke his left arm a year ago.

And that's when he started feeling pain in his left chest.

It apparently felt as if his left chest was being cut by a knife,

and he constantly felt a strong burn.

We ran an exam thinking it might be a cardiac or lung disorder.

But everything came out normal.

He came to the hospital saying he has CRPS.

But he didn't meet the criteria.

His symptoms are similar to those of CRPS,

but he doesn't suffer from it.

He visited almost all the hospitals in this country.

Dr. Cha.

Transfer his information to Neurology...

alongside his diary.

Good work, everyone. You may go home now.

- Thank you, sir. - Good work.

- Good work. - Goodbye, Dr. Cha.

(Name: Lee Gi Seok)

Goodness, my back, my feet, my legs, and my neck.

(Patients with CIPA Who Have Died of Septicemia)

Dad.

Dad, what's wrong?

Yo Han.

Call 911.

- 911? - Yes.

Hello?

My dad is vomiting blood. Please hurry.

- What's your address? - 1003, Bangil-dong.

Help is on the way.

Could you ask him where it hurts?

Please hurry.

Please.

We're on our way, so please ask him where it hurts.

I don't know.

What? Did you ask him?

Even if I do ask, he doesn't know.

What do you mean? We need to know that so that...

He doesn't know!

Even my dad doesn't know where it hurts!

(Minister of Health and Welfare, Lee Won Gil)

I'm here, sir.

Welcome.

I've been waiting.

(Pain Management Center)

I'm sorry.

"Dr. Kang Si Young"?

That's me.

You're from the Pain Management Center.

Are you done receiving patients?

Yes, we are.

Oh, no.

If you schedule an appointment beforehand...

Well, I'm not here to set an appointment.

I'm here to see Dr. Cha Yo Han.

If he's still here, he's probably in his office.

It's over there.

All right. Thank you.

Does he know that you're coming?

No.

I haven't seen him...

in three years.

Prosecutor Son is here?

Yes, he's here. By the way...

It's a bit of an ambiguous amount of time.

In three years, one could completely change.

But for some, it may not be enough time at all.

I thought Dr. Cha needed enough time,

so I asked for a 10-year sentence instead.

Yes, I'm the prosecutor...

who was in charge of Dr. Cha's case.

Why Si Young?

I'm not sure.

He might be aware of what happened to Chairman Kang.

He might be here for either you or her.

But in any case, I doubt it's a coincidence...

that those two are together.

Doctors are so admirable.

It's an incredible feat to save lives.

But I don't trust them completely either.

Because although they can save lives,

they can also take them.

I consider their hands as double-edged swords.

They could be the deity's hands...

or the Grim Reaper's.

Just like Dr. Cha three years ago.

Why are you telling me this?

Dr. Cha from three years ago is someone I'm very familiar with.

I believe the present Dr. Cha is someone...

you know very well since you're his trainee.

What do you say?

Has he changed much over the past three years?

If he hasn't,

what would you do?

What do you mean?

If...

he attempted to repeat what he did three years ago,

would you report it?

Or...

would you turn a blind eye?

If it's neither,

would you...

agree with him?

(Dr. Cha Yo Han)

Hello?

Yes, it has been a while, Dr. Cha.

It has been, Prosecutor Son.

Are you here to see me?

I guess you could say that. By the way...

What did you say?

Step away right now.

From my trainee.

(Doctor John)

I never asked for society's forgiveness for what I did.

Time doesn't erase your criminal record.

If Dr. Cha keeps doing what he does,

he can help us when we need him.

What do you mean by that?

The daughters of these two currently work under Dr. Cha.

- Mi Rae. - I feel...

even more anxious that you're close to someone like him.

If there were a case identical to that one...

Would I make the same choice?

I can only say that some things are impossible.
