I couldn't...

save him.

Was there nothing you could do?

Was there no way you could save him?

Except stopping his pains?

Is that why you did that?

Did you stop his pains?

If you can't cure pains,

you should stop them.

If the doctor does nothing, the patient's torment doesn't stop.

Even at this moment,

the patient feels pain.

Park Jung Bo.

He feels pain even at this moment.

Go.

Go...

and make him better.

Open the gate.

Darn it.

Dr. Kang. I have bad news.

Inmate 5353 disappeared from his room.

- He disappeared? - Hurry.

It must be Fabry disease.

It's rare but sometimes the biopsy doesn't show zebra bodies.

Run an enzyme test one last time.

(Kyungwon Hospital)

(Ward 3)

Find him, quick.

What happened?

They undid his handcuffs when he had a seizure.

He disappeared while the guard was gone.

He's not in the toilets or other rooms.

Check the security cameras and search outside.

He can't have gotten far in his state. Hurry.

- Okay. - Hurry.

Go.

You go that way.

Search that way.

Where did he go?

(A cozy general hospital, Kyungwon Hospital)

- He's not here? - No.

(Kyungwon Hospital)

Over there.

Park Jung Bo.

What if he passed out somewhere?

Dr. Lee.

He's over there.

- What? - Move slowly and quietly.

No.

Dr. Lee.

- Calm down. - Mr. Park Jung Bo.

I hear it.

I hear it. I hear her.

What do you hear?

My mom's voice.

I hear my mom's voice.

Mr. Park Jung Bo.

Mr. Park Jung Bo.

Were you told if he has a history of mental illness?

No.

Then why was he on the roof?

Why did he suddenly want to kill himself?

What if it wasn't a suicide attempt?

He said he heard his mother's voice.

What if that was an auditory hallucination?

An auditory hallucination?

It's not common, but some Fabry patients...

suffer from psychoses like...

Have you forgotten? It's not Fabry disease.

It must be Fabry disease.

It's rare but sometimes the biopsy doesn't show zebra bodies.

Run an enzyme test one last time.

Get out of here. You're not needed anymore.

Please leave.

Stay out here.

I was sick of her saying she was sick.

I told her to stop pretending to be sick.

My wife ended up dying before she turned 40.

I can't let him die like that.

I'll make him better.

Uncle. Who was that?

That was Inmate 5353's father.

Did his wife die of the same symptoms?

I don't know,

but his daughter died not long ago.

His daughter? How?

Chronic renal failure?

Inmate 5353 has an older brother who isn't well either.

His mother died in her 30s...

and his sister has a history of CKD.

Can there be a clearer family history?

If the mother has Fabry disease,

her offspring has a 50 percent chance of inheriting it.

Isn't this why Fabry disease should be diagnosed early?

It's totally treatable,

but many people miss out and die because of a late diagnosis.

If only they'd known what they had, his mother...

and sister wouldn't have died.

Is it a definite diagnosis?

So for one last time,

how about running an enzyme test?

What if he has another seizure while we run a test...

and wait for the result? What if it's still negative?

Who'll be responsible then?

There's nothing more to do here.

What do you mean?

He'll be transferred.

It's what his father wants and I'll respect his wishes.

The best thing is to send him to a bigger hospital.

What if he gets worse?

Because we ruled out Fabry disease,

once he's transferred, they'll start testing from scratch.

What if he has acute renal failure and has to be on dialysis forever?

Do you think you're making sense?

It's not entirely improbable.

We'll trust in the chances within our time and resources,

and start with the most probable.

You're just a part-timer.

You said it's a temporary gig.

Why are you so obsessed with him?

Do you know how different you are from yesterday?

Stop it now. You've done enough.

You did your best.

Si Young.

I reached his older brother. He's on his way.

It's too late.

- What? - He's being transferred.

Well, that was...

His father was so adamant.

There's nothing I can do now.

You tried hard.

Ever since last night.

No.

"Need to visit Nephrology at a tertiary hospital."

"Urgent."

If only I'd listened.

If only I'd sent him to a hospital.

Hi.

A transfer?

Yes. He'll be transferred.

It'll be a mess if he's transferred.

They'll have to start over.

There's nothing we can do.

They can't do anything here.

- You have the cure. - The cure?

Si Young got some yesterday.

Put it in his room.

Put it next to the bed. I'll come over.

What? Hello? Hello? Inmate 6238.

What was that about?

What did he say?

He wants you to put the cure by the bed.

The cure?

Yes, the cure.

Thanks, Uncle. Thank you.

Si Young. Si Young.

Dr. Lee.

Do you have more to say?

Just prepare the ERT medicine.

The hospital he'll be transferred to could need it.

It takes a while to procure.

Just in case.

That's why we went to such lengths to get it.

It's the ERT medicine.

Take it, just in case.

Pass it on to the hospital he'll be transferred to.

- Okay. I'll do that. - No.

He has to be injected right now.

The patient has Fabry disease.

How many times must I say he had no zebra bodies?

It's rare, but depending on...

where the tissue was from, zebra bodies might be absent.

Said who? Inmate 6238?

Are you crazy?

You believe it's Fabry disease...

because a doctor who lost his license said so?

Get out.

Get out right now.

Doctor Lee Yoo Joon whom I've heard so much about?

Who are you?

Nice to meet you. I'm Inmate 6238.

Excuse me.

Wait. How did you get here?

Inmate 6238.

As of noon today, he's a free man.

A few years ago, a patient came to Myeongwon University Hospital's...

Nephrology department.

After suffering from albuminuria, she deteriorated rapidly...

and required dialysis.

Her kidney biopsy...

showed she had FSGS.

That's exactly what...

Dr. Lee diagnosed Jung Bo with.

The patient's sister offered to give her kidney,

but guess what her biopsy showed?

Thick and clear zebra bodies.

She had Fabry disease.

Did she?

- Then why did her sister... - Not show the same?

It's not that she didn't.

They were obscured by the many dead cells.

Just like Jung Bo's case.

You can't transfer him now.

While they search for a diagnosis,

he could deteriorate beyond help.

He must be treated here.

Treatment comes after a definite diagnosis.

A definite diagnosis?

What's the prevalence rate of Fabry disease?

You know what it is.

1 out of 117,000.

- It's very rare. - Not at all.

If you include all the people who couldn't...

get a diagnosis despite visiting many hospitals,

resorted to alternative medicine, lost their savings, and died,

Fabry patients...

are more numerous than you think.

They can live if they're just diagnosed,

but many people died because they weren't.

We don't have that diagnosis yet.

You want to inject an expensive cure...

to an ambiguous case?

Why should I take such a risk?

It's the patient who's taking the risk.

You flooded him with steroids.

If his kidneys fail and can't even withstand dialysis,

- who'll take the blame then? - How dare you threaten me?

This is a warning, not a threat. From the patient's whole body.

He's my patient!

You might have been a famous professor of medicine,

but he's my patient right now.

So stay out of it.

Are you really sure it's not Fabry disease?

It's true that you're his doctor.

But I followed up on him for a year.

In prison.

I'm not like you.

I won't risk my license like that.

Have him transferred.

What are you doing?

You're not a doctor!

Don't you know it's illegal to treat without a license?

Dr. Kang, are you a doctor?

Yes.

I'm a doctor.

What on earth...

- I'll take responsibility. - Will you?

How?

- Treating when you aren't staff... - I'll accept any punishment.

But if we don't do anything,

the patient continues to suffer.

Not because of the illness,

but because the doctor...

did nothing.

Dr. Lee.

His brother's here.

- Jung Min. - Father.

Jung Bo.

Why are you sick too?

I'm sorry, Father.

Why are you sorry?

It's all my fault.

He's on dialysis.

Doctor, please save my sons.

I'm not afraid of losing them.

I'm more afraid that they'll die like their mom and sister,

not knowing what they have.

What kind of illness is it that's so cruel to us?

Please save my sons.

Do a kidney biopsy on the brother.

You'll see it right away.

- I see it. - He'll live.

You saved him, Dr. Kang. And...

Dr. Lee.

What is it?

It's definitely Fabry disease.

Then will he get better?

Yes. Both of your sons can be treated.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

Dr. Lee, thank you.

Well...

Si Young, thank you. You did well.

Inmate 6238?

Oh, we shouldn't call him that anymore. He's Cha Yo Han now.

He just left.

He left? Where did he go?

Anywhere, I guess. He's free now.

Welcome back, Professor Cha.

Wait!

Wait!

Dr. Cha!

Cha Yo Han!

Dr. Cha!

Dr. Cha!

Dr. Cha!

Can I...

go back?

Can I do well?

(Hanse Medical Center)

I have an announcement to make.

It is about Kang Si Young, a second-year resident...

of the Anesthesiology Department.

I'm considering accepting her back.

She's been undergoing psychotherapy.

Recently, it was diagnosed that she doesn't have PTSD anymore.

She completed the training process successfully...

and always received excellent resident evaluations.

However,

we can't be sure if she's ready to treat patients...

without being affected by the incident.

It was just an accident.

I guess how long it takes to recover from an accident...

depends on the person.

Yes, it was an accident.

Still, there were other things she needed to work on...

even before that.

Like what?

Excessive empathy with her patients, of course.

Yes. From the first year, her examinations were too long.

She was even ordered not to talk to her patients...

longer than a minute.

That could be...

a strength too.

Residents often fail...

to understand their patients well enough.

But her excessive empathy...

often clouded her judgment as a doctor.

Who knows if the incident happened because...

Aren't you sick of chicken breast yet?

Why does it have so much protein anyway?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I caused you all trouble by quitting so suddenly.

And now I shamelessly came back. I'm really sorry.

Nice to see you again, Si Young.

Nice to see you too, Jun.

"Nice to see you again,"

"Dr. Heo."

You're only in the second year.

We're not in the same year anymore. I'm in the fourth year.

Show some respect.

Yes.

Everyone, we're late. Let's go.

Stop eating chicken breast.

- Mi Rae. - Don't call me by my first name.

I'm in my third year now.

I had...

two choices.

I could either run away or come back here.

I saw it.

Your one-way ticket to Madagascar.

Why didn't you just go? You're not going to last long anyway.

(Kang Si Young)

Dr. Kang, are you a doctor?

Yes, I'm a doctor.

(Anesthesiology)

It's my first day back at the hospital.

I'm sorry it took so long.

I won't let you down.

Excuse me.

(Cha Yo Han)

We meet again.

(Special thanks to Jeon No Min and Jung In Gi for their cameo parts.)

(Doctor John)

This person is a murderer.

He is a doctor.

He killed a person.

Male, 38 years old.

This patient had an emergency canthotomy two days ago.

The patient refused any treatment or tests.

He even wanted Dr. Cha to be prohibited from approaching him.

Do you want to learn from me?

But don't learn these things.

We say no!

What is going on?

Is Cha Yo Han in?

I haven't seen Professor Cha in three years.
