Father.

Father, father! Father!

Father, father! Father!

Father, father!

N-no. No way, father.

Father!

Father!

Get an operating room ready.

Get ready for a surgery!

Surgery!

Hoon.

Can you...

...make a promise?

From now on...

...please don't ever forget that...

...you are...

...a doctor.

Father!

Father!

Hey there.

Dr. Park.

Even though you've lost your father...

...always give your best.

If not, you'll end up...

...just like your father.

What was the name of Hoon's last surgery patient?

I believe it was Song Jae Hee.

Get me the details.

I want to know exactly...

...what his connection to her is.

[Episode 2]

Jang Seok Joo, Jang Seok Joo! Jang Seok Joo, Jang Seok Joo!

Dr. Park!

It's quite chilly here.

Vice-premier. Why are you here, my friend?

What are you talking about?

I'm here to support a friend who just lost his father.

Oh, right.

I was wondering who the woman was.

She's your classmate from Pyongyang Medical School.

What a strange coincidence.

I, Jang Seok Joo, firmly believe that...

...Korean residents in Hungary can form...

...solid economic foundations in Hungary...

...just like how Korea seized the IMF crisis...

...as an opportunity for further economic development.

I'm sure the election will cost a fortune.

We've decided to go all-in for...

...Representative Jang in the upcoming election.

I'll set up another meeting.

These pictures were taken at the embassy.

I was right. It's Cha Jin Soo.

Do you know him?

He's part of the Department of Communication in North Korea.

He's visiting to discuss funding for medical equipment.

Medical equipment...

Stop.

- What about him? - I just heard he was a doctor.

Why is the embassy keeping an eye on them?

One of them is seeking asylum.

Asylum?

Doctor Park.

These are the ampules you asked for.

Jae Hee?

Hoon?

Do you...

Do you recognize me?

Hoon.

What about my dad?

Jae Hee.

No matter what...

...you have to believe in me.

Okay?

Is she conscious now?

Not yet.

It seems someone's looking for asylum in South Korea.

It couldn't be you, Dr. Park, right?

Don't even dream about it.

I could kill you and this girl...

...and both of you would vanish without a trace.

I'm sure it's Park Hoon.

I can take him out right now.

Don't.

If you did, outsiders would get involved.

Besides, if we go back empty-handed we'll end up in jail.

Just keep a close eye on him.

Understood?

This will stop your heart momentarily in three hours.

You have to endure it, Jae Hee.

My...

...oh my.

I'm glad I came this far.

Running to be a candidate...

...or even winning the election all depends...

...on capturing the undecided voters...

...like the representatives who can't...

...make up their minds.

No, no...

Actually, it's about the ones waiting...

...to see who will turn them a profit.

Do as you wish.

Do you remember Park Hoon?

He is son of Dr. Park Cheol who was sent to North Korea.

So?

He's here.

- What's happening? - The girl died.

Charge.

Get rid of these handcuffs!

Get out.

But if you turn off the monitor...

...there's no way to confirm...

...if the heartbeat is back.

What's going on? She's dead?

If her heartbeat doesn't come back...

...it will be fatal.

Explain! Tell me what happen!

You just saw.

There's no heartbeat...

...and no pupillary response.

Do you think I don't see that?

She was fine. What happened all of a sudden?

Do you have time for this mess?

You're at risk of going home empty-handed now.

She's dead?

The surgery was a success.

She died from something else.

Unbelievable! The patient is dead.

I'll sign the papers.

Someone translate!

If her heart really stops...

...you need to revive it...

...within five minutes.

Five minutes.

What?

Emergency!

Where are you?

Three minutes.

One minute.

Jae Hee, Jae Hee!

Jae Hee, please...

Jae Hee, Jae Hee...

Jae Hee.

Park Hoon, you little jerk!

Kill them all!

That way!

Are you alright?

Let me go!

They're going to the South Korean Embassy.

Follow them.

Asylum?

Does the embassy know that...

...he's Park Cheol's son?

I don't think so.

It all happened more than a decade ago.

I wonder...

...how much Park Hoon knows.

Open up. Open the door!

Please, open the door.

I'm Park Hoon, the one filing for asylum.

The only reason I'm able to run as a presidential candidate is...

...because of the nuclear scare that happened in 1994.

The real hero was me, Jang Seok Joo...

...who saved the Korean Peninsula...

...from nuclear war.

If it wasn't for that...

...I would have stayed an insignificant member...

...of the National Assembly who was...

...always anxious and begging for re-election.

Do you think we needed to kill them?

It was a sacrifice for the greater good.

I'm sorry, representative.

That's also why you got rid of that woman.

My son...

Where is my son?

My son... Where is my son?

Where is my son?

Hold on!

That way.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the door!

Park Hoon!

Let's go.

We have an upcoming election in Korea.

The winner will be the new president...

...and the most powerful man in South Korea.

Until then...

...I can't afford to have...

...any weaknesses.

But then the one man who could be an obstacle for me suddenly appears.

What should I do, Mr. Kim?

Jae Hee.

Hoon, I'll be okay.

Just get out of here.

Hang in there for a bit more.

But...

Don't be stupid.

Jae Hee, Hae Hee! Run!

Run away!

Hoon!

Jae Hee.

Hoon.

You'll be okay.

No, please... No...

It's okay.

Hold on just a little longer.

Hoon.

No, no...

Hoon.

Please remember me.

No, don't do it.

Don't do it, Jae Hee.

My friend, Dr. Park Hoon...

Goodbye.

No, no.

No!

Jae Hee!

Jae Hee! Jae Hee...

[2 Years later, Seoul]

If there's a blockage of the coronary arteries...

...that supply blood to the heart...

...it can lead to angina pectoris...

...or myocardial infarction.

Before, bypass procedures were done...

...while the heart was temporarily arrested.

Op-CAB procedures keep the heart beating.

They're more popular nowadays.

Reporters, what you're observing now...

...is op-CAB.

Needle, please.

Is this hospital likely...

...to perform Premier Jang's heart surgery?

Jae Il University Hospital is another strong candidate.

Anyway.

Why doesn't he just get the procedure at the hospital that he usually goes to?

Why is he making such a big deal out of choosing the best hospital?

Think of it as a promotion event.

- An event? - That's right.

The majority of med school students are avoiding becoming thoracic specialists...

...because it has a reputation for being so difficult.

Of there's an event to decide the hospital to perform the premier's heart surgery...

...it will get plenty of attention.

Some med students might even give a second thought...

...to becoming thoracic specialists.

I heard...

...the Blue House is also keeping a close eye on this event.

The Blue House?

I assume it's because the president is also concerned...

...about our premier's health.

I doubt it.

I agree.

It was a tight race during the election.

But they are from the same party.

If the president asked him...

...to be the premier, they must be on better terms now.

Why don't we stop talking about such complicated things like politics.

Let's move on.

I'll treat you reporters well today.

Code Blue, Code Blue. ICU Code Blue.

[ICU: Intensive Care Unit] Code Blue, Code Blue. ICU Code Blue.

Code Blue, Code Blue. ICU Code Blue.

Code Blue, Code Blue. ICU Code Blue.

Thoracic Specialist Han Jae Joon speaking.

Clear.

Charge.

Clear.

What's going on?

There was a sudden ventricular fibrillation.

Move over!

Charge 20 milliliters of F1 ampule.

Why don't you move him to the operating room?

What do you mean, Professor Han? We just need to restore the heartbeat.

Dr. Moon, was there a mistake during the surgery?

What did you do?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Director.

Director, are you admitting...

...there's been a medical accident?

It's more important to...

...save the patient right now.

Director, I can do it. I can.

Get the team ready.

Okay, Professor Han.

Can you take care of this?

Don't worry.

Okay, I'll be right there.

The anesthesiologist can't leave during surgery.

There's Dr. Choi, right?

Yes, Dr. Oh?

He's my patient. I'll do it.

This is my operating room.

Please leave.

Scalpel.

Director, this is the only time...

...I've made a mistake.

Right in front a crowd of reporters.

But suspending my practice...

...and forcing me to resign as supervisor...

Our hospital has to do Premier Jang Seok Joo's surgery.

That's exactly what I need to do.

I know you are skilled, Professor Moon...

...but surgery is done by a team not by yourself.

- Director. - If you want to find what you've lost...

...and make a team as qualified as Professor Han's.

But Professor Han took all the best doctors.

Who could I ask to be on my team?

That's your business.

[Hyung: Older brother or older male] Hyung!

Hyung? You are a girl!

You thought I would fall for that? Let's go.

Where's the insurance deposit for the hospital?

I didn't put it up for sale.

I asked you to get the money ready.

If we're being honest, I'm the one who paid...

...half of your deposit.

Then sell it off and take half.

So your plan is to run off to China with that money?

Then get caught on your way to North Korea?

What's up with the way you're talking?

I'm trying to practice my Seoul dialect.

If I want to say here I thought I should.

How do I sound? Do I sound like I'm from Seoul?

It's great. Fantastic.

So withdraw all the money from the hospital insurance deposit.

I think you can stop now.

Ki Hyun's been in jail three times.

You're not even sure whether he's dead or alive.

Dr. Hyun said he was captured and sent to North Korea.

So what if he's alive?

I've tried everything to get my mom out of there, but it's no use.

I thought you were practicing your Seoul dialect.

Mr. Lim quit being the middleman to help others flee North Korea.

Whatever. I don't believe him anymore anyway.

There are plenty of middlemen around the Amrok River.

With him, I got caught every time.

I heard there's another way.

Another way?

What is it?

If you pay them they'll deliver the person to you.

Your mom's not like bottled water. They can't deliver her.

I've already...

...paid him over $30,000.

$30,000? You paid a scammer $30,000?

You're really out of your mind.

Let's see who's really the crazy one.

Mr. Lim said to bring all your money and find him.

Whatever.

You should work hard to earn more money.

Do you see that stationary shop?

Yeah, I guess I do need to earn some money.

I saw it first.

I dropped it.

You're lying.

How much was it?

It's a silver dollar.

Was it heads or tails?

- Heads! - Tails!

It's tails.

Who cares which side was up?

- Let's see it. - Ouch!

What happen to your finger?

It's fine. Let me go.

It's broken.

I said I'm fine.

If you don't take care of it properly, you might not be able use it.

Let's go to our hospital.

No.

Then pay me for my medical treatment. It's a dollar.

I never asked you to treat me.

But I did, so give it to me!

- Jung Min! - Daddy!

What about my silver dollar, you...

I told you to deliver water. Why are you playing with a little girl?

What's the head side of a coin?

Are you dumb?

The side of a head is heads and the other side is tails.

Darn it.

I've sent fliers everywhere...

...saying you're re-opening your hospital.

Let's get to work.

I've cleaned up the place...

...and prepared things you might need.

What do you mean you've prepared?

Did you call these guys?

- I'll call you. - Hey.

- They might be patients! - Lee Chang Hee!

Wow, it's like parting the Red Sea.

How can I help you?

Well...

...I'm not sick, but...

Then why are you at my hospital making a scene?

Get out of here.

There's someone I'd like you to see.

Oh, there is a patient! You should have told me.

He can't go to hospital because of personal reasons.

Where is it?

How can I help you?

Since last night, he's been saying his lower abdomen...

...feels like it's being stabbed with a sharp needle.

Let's see.

I think it's from these fancy pictures.

You have a fever.

Does it hurt here?

Let's start a surgery immediately.

He has appendicitis. If it ruptures, he could die.

Sir, he's going to perform surgery right away.

Can you hang in there?

I assume you gangsters are loaded.

You're dressed well.

It's a cheap, no-name brand.

That's it!

Are you done?

Not yet. You still need to pay the bill.

Oh my, you gangsters.

Do you see this?

Hey, hey, hey! Alright!

How much?

- $1,500 for the surgery. - Here, $1,500.

No way. I don't take credit cards.

Here, $1,500.

Okay, sign it.

Signature...

Here it is.

Now $100 for every stitch.

I think we'll need about ten... so that'll be $1,000.

Hey, you!

Fine. $1,000. Stitch him up!

Oh, hey.

- And a silver dollar. - A dollar?

Just pay my fees already. You complain too much.

Fine!

Here's your silver dollar.

- I'll close him up now. - Do it now.

Can you get my phone?

Here.

Yeah, what's up?

What?

[Hyung: Older brother or older male] Hyung!

You found your mom?

We found her!

Now you just need to pay the remainder.

Mom!

Da Hee!

Da Hee, my darling!

Don't just stand there.

Take her somewhere nice to eat.

Please tell Mr. Choi...

...I'm eternally grateful.

Thank you from bottom of my heart!

Thank you so much.

It's not Mr. Choi, it's Mr. Lim.

Right, I'm Mr. Lim.

What are you doing?

Take her somewhere fancy!

Here.

Let's go.

Good job.

How is this possible?

It's simple.

When I send this...

...to my assistant...

...he tells a North Korean businessman how much he has.

Then he finds the person we want...

...and escort the person out using a secret route.

Money is all you need.

Socialism?

It's all rubbish.

In North Korea, if you just give them enough money...

...they'd even steal the statue of Kim Il Sung.

That lady's name...

...was Song Jae Hee?

You found her?

You found her?

You know I only take American dollars.

I asked if you found her!

I'm back, premier.

Sir.

It was a close one.

Don't you think so, Secretary Kim?

But you still became the premier.

Even if the whole country's beneath me...

...there's still one man above me.

It would be Premier Young Eui Jung if we traveled back a few centuries.

We make songs just so...

...we can remember the names of kings...

...but no one gives a second thought to remembering Young Eui Jung.

Sir!

What about Park Hoon?

He was released today.

How did he look?

Just like they said, he's up to something.

I never knew that I, Jang Seok Joo, would...

...ask for help from someone like him.

How ironic.

He is...

...the best heart surgeon in North Korea.

Right.

But...

...I doubt he'll perform the surgery without any hesitation.

Yes, of course.

You're way too short!

I'll work hard and bring more next time.

Just tell me if you found Jae Hee.

Fine, I'll do something.

Is this the woman?

Yes.

Hoon?

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.
