Doctor Stranger

Father.

Father! Father, Father!

Father! Father! Fa...fa...fa...

N...n..no father.

Father!

Father!

No...

Get the operating room ready. Get ready for surgery! Surgery!

Hoon.

Make me...

just one promise.

Father...

From now on

The fact that you are a doctor,

don't ever

forget that.

Father. Father.

Father! Father.

Hey Dr. Park.

The government has high expectations of you to bring in foreign funding, Dr. Park.

Do your best.

If not you'll end up like your father.

What's the name of the girl Dr. Park just operated on?

I believe it's Song Jae Hee.

Find out for sure. In particular what her relationship is to Park Hoon.

Find out the specifics.

Episode 2

Jang Seok Joo! Jang Seok Joo!

Jang Seok Joo!

Dr. Park.

The weather here is pretty chilly.

What kind of work brings you here, Comrade?

What work?

I came here to help you obtain foreign funding.

Oh, also,

I was wondering who that girl was, and it turns out that she was your classmate from Pyongyang Medical School.

Fate is really odd.

As our nation, the Republic of Korea,

used IMF crisis as an opportunity to improve our economy,

this Korean community in Hungary can become one of the largest influences to the economy here.

I, Jang Seok Joo, dare to say it.

Even for the presidential candidate election, a lot of funds will be needed.

We're all-in for Assemblyman Jang at this upcoming candidate election.

We'll prepare another meeting sometime.

These are the pictures that the Embassy acquired.

It is Cha Jin Soo.

Is it someone that you know?

He is from the North Korean Intelligence Service.

He came here to negotiate an agreement to obtain medical supplies.

Medical equipment...

Wait.

This man? - I heard that he's a doctor from that side.

But why is the Embassy watching over these men?

Out of these, there is someone who has requested political refuge.

Political refuge?

Doctor Park!

This is the ampoule you asked for.

Jae Hee.

Hoon.

Do you...

recognize me?

Hoon.

What about my father?

Jae Hee.

Regardless of what happens

you have to trust in me.

You understand?

Has she regained consciousness yet?

Not yet.

There is someone who requested political refuge to the S. Korean Embassy.

It's not possibly you, right Dr. Park?

Don't even dream about it. You and this girl,

Could die without anyone knowing about it.

It's Park Hoon that b*stard without a doubt.

I'll drag him out immediately.

Don't make a move.

If we do that, this deal might completely fall apart.

If we go back empty-handed, we will not be able to avoid getting sent to the concentration camps.

So watch him carefully, understand?

This will stop your heart for a moment in 3 hours.

You have to endure it Jae Hee.

It was worth coming this far.

Whether it is the candidate selection or the presidential election, the winner is decided by the swing voters.

Those assemblymen

who have not yet decided which candidate to support.

No, no, no.

Guys who are waiting to see which candidate will give them the money.

Those kind of guys.

Handle it as you see fit.

Do you remember the name Park Hoon by chance?

He's the son of Park Chul that was sent to the North.

And?

He is currently here.

Code blue, code blue, code blue.

What happened?

That girl is dead.

Charge.

Get those handcuffs off of her now!

Stand back!

If the monitor is turned off,

you have no way to confirm if the heartbeat has come back.

What's this?

She's dead.

It is very dangerous

if the heartbeat does not return.

Tell me. What happened?!

You saw what happened.

The heart has stopped and her pupils aren't reacting to light.

Am I asking because I don't know? She was doing fine but what happened so suddenly?!

Do we have time for this?

I don't think we'll be able to complete that deal for the medical equipments.

Doctor!

Is the patient dead?

The surgery was successful.

The patient died due to another reason.

There's no way!

I can't believe the patient has died...

Come! Translate!

Doctor!

I will confirm for you.

If the heart did stop,

then you have to save her within 5 minutes.

- 5 minutes. - What?

- It's an emergency. - Jae Hee.

Where are you?

Song Jae Hee.

3 minutes.

1 minute.

Jae Hee!

Jae Hee! Please Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee...

Park Hoon this b*stard!

Kill them!

We've cornered him into an alley.

Are you alright?

Let go.

The S. Korean Embassy. Follow them.

A request for political refuge...

Does the Embassy know that he's the son of Park Chul?

It seemed like they didn't know.

That was more than ten years ago.

Park Hoon.

This friend here, I wonder how much he knows.

♬ Is there no such thing as an everlasting promise? ♬

♬ As we looked at one another, those words that we whispered to each other ♬

♬ To become shattered into pieces like dust in the air ♬

♬ We've missed each other and became strangers ♬

♬ To the point of death, to the point I'm going crazy, ♬

♬ I love you, I love you. Forever. ♬

♬ I won't let go of you, I'm going to find you ♬

♬ I'm just a stranger without you my love ♬

♬ Without you, I'm... ♬

Please open the door. Open the door!

Open the door please. I'm Park Hoon who requested political refuge.

The reason why I was able to become the sole candidate from my party

is due to the nuclear threat from the North in 1994.

The only hero who saved South Korea from the war,

Jang Seok Joo.

If that didn't happen,

I would have remained as a mere assemblyman who has to worry about reelection.

Do you think it was necessary to kill him.

It was a sacrifice for a higher purpose.

I'm sorry, Assemblyman.

That's why you killed that lady.

My son...

Where is my son?

Where is my son?

Wait.

W-What are you doing?

What are you doing, Open the gate.

Open it!!

Open it, open it!

Open the door!

Park Hoon!

Let's go.

The election that's going on in our Korean land right now is pretty much a presidential election.

If I win in that election, I'll be the president.

In another words, I'll be the leader of the Republic of Korea.

Until then,

this Jang Suk Joo cannot have any weakness.

But a person, who can become my fatal flaw, appeared.

Then, what should you do?

Jae Hee.

Hoon, I'm alright so

you should at least escape.

Endure it just a little bit. Just a little more.

But...

Stop being stupid.

Jae Hee run away! Run away!

Hoon!

Jae Hee.

Hoon.

Yes, it's alright. It's alright.

No...

It's alright. It's alright.

Just a little longer.

Endure it just a little longer. -I can't.

Hoon.

You can't. You can't.

Please remember me.

Don't do it. Don't do it!

Don't do it Jae Hee. Don't.

Comrade Park Hoon, my doctor.

Good bye.

No, you can't.

You can't!

Jae Hee!

Jae Hee!

2 Years later, Seoul

If the coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart, becomes stenotic (narrowed),

angina pectoris (chest pain) or myocardial infarction (M.I.) can occur.

In the past, we used a bypass machine to stop the heart before we performed the operation.

But these days, it's more popular to perform an OPCAB (Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass) without stopping the heart.

This is what you, the reporters are seeing right now.

Irrigation.

Is this team the strongest candidate to operate on Prime Minister Jang?

Jaeil University Hospital is also a strong candidate.

Yet he could have gotten the surgery at the hospital he frequented,

why is he making this fuss saying he wants to choose the surgical team.

I guess you could consider it as a special event.

- An event? - Yeah.

Medical students these days are avoiding the Cardio-Thoracic Surgical Department because they hear that it's hard.

At a time like this, if we announce that we're putting a team together for the Prime Minister's heart surgery,

then it becomes an issue.

And then the medical students will at least consider this path one more time.

Ah, and from what I heard, even the Blue House is watching over this event carefully.

The Blue House?

Even the President is worrying about the Prime Minister's health, don't you think that's what it means?

I don't think that's it.

Right. They fought so hard during the election.

But they're in the same party.

If the President appointed him to be Prime Minister, you can probably say that their relationship has been restored.

Okay, let's stop talking about politics that cause headaches and go out.

I'll treat you guys really well tonight.

Code blue, code blue, ICU, code blue.

Code blue, code blue, ICU, code blue. ICU: Intensive Care Unit

Code blue, code blue, ICU, code blue.

This is cardio thoracic surgeon, Han Jae Joon.

Clear.

Charge 200 joules.

Clear.

What's going on?

There was sudden ventricular fibrillation.

Move aside.

1 ampule of Epinephrine, charge 200 Joules.

Move him to the Operating Room.

What are you talking about, Professor Han? We just need to get his heartbeat back.

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

What happened you bastard?!

People always tend to make mistakes.

Director.

Director, are you acknowledging that there was a medical error?

Isn't saving the patient more important than that right now?

I can do it Director. I can do it.

Get the team ready.

Yes, Professor Yang.

You can finish it, right? -Don't worry about it.

I'm going right now.

How can the anesthetist leave during a surgery?

There's Doctor Choi, am I not right?

Yes, Doctor Oh.

It's my patient! I'll do it!

This is my operating room!

Please leave.

Scalpel.

Director, I just made one mistake.

That's right. In fact right in front of the reporters.

But to suspend medical practice and to leave my position as an attending...

We are the hospital that has to operate on the Prime Minister Jang Seok Joo.

Isn't that more of a reason for me to be in charge of that?

I know your skills very well, Dr. Moon.

But the surgery is done as a team, not alone.

Director. If you want to get your position back,

prepare a team that'll rival Doctor Han's team.

How can I make a team when Doctor Han took all the doctors that are even remotely good?

Figure that out on your own.

Seoul Prison

Hyung.

Seoul Prison

Why is a girl calling me Hyung?

Do you think I'll be fooled again? Let's go.

What about the deposit fee for the hospital? -We didn't put the hospital on sale.

I told you to get the money prepared.

Truthfully, I invested half of your hospital deposit fee.

Put it up for sale and take half!

You're going to take that and go to China?

And get caught trying to enter North Korea?

But, what's with your accent?

I'm practicing Seoul dialect. If I'm going to live here I have no choice but to practice.

How is it? I seem a little like a Seoul person, right?

Yeah. You're really amazing.

So, bring the hospital deposit fee right away.

You should really stop now Hyung. It's your third time at prison already.

We don't even know if she's dead or alive.

Dr. Hyun definitely told me that she was taken alive to North Korea.

What are you going to do if she's alive? I tried so many things to get my mom out of there but there's no use.

You said you're practicing Seoul dialect.

Anyway, Mr. Im said he won't be a broker for defectors anymore.

Hey, I don't believe in that guy anymore either.

There are so many brokers near the Yalu River but he always gets caught by the Chinese.

I hear there's a different method.

Different method?

Hey, what is it?

If I give them money, they will deliver her to here.

Is your mom a bottle of water that they'd deliver her to here?

I already

gave 30,000 dollars.

30,000 dollars? You already gave 30,000 dollars to that con-man?

Wow, you are really crazy.

We'll find out who's the crazy one soon enough.

Ahjussi said you should also go to him with all the money you have.

Did he?

So, hurry up and work hard to earn money.

Over there. You see that stationery shop right?

That's right. I have to earn some money.

I saw it first.

I dropped it.

Stop lying.

Which coin is it?

500 won.

Heads or tails?

--Head! --Tail!

It's the tail.

Isn't the picture the head?

-Look. -Owe!

Why is your finger like this?

I'm fine. Let go.

It's broken.

I'm fine.

If something goes wrong, you'll never be able to use your finger again.

Let's go to the hospital first.

I don't want to.

Then give me the treatment fee. 500 won.

I didn't ask you to treat me.

Anyway, I did. Give it to me!

Jeong Min!

Dad.

You, 500 won!

Why are you playing with a kid when I asked you to deliver water?

Hey, what is on the head of a coin?

Are you stupid? The picture is on the head and the number is on the tail.

Garibong Clinic

Garibong Clinic

You punk!

I advertised that the hospital is opening again...

Let's hurry and open up.

I cleaned it and prepared some things you would need.

Aish. What did you prepare?

Did you prepare these guys as well?

- I will call you, Hyung. - Hey.

Maybe he's a patient! -You, Lee Chang Yi!

Wow, it's like Moses' miracle, (parting the Red Sea).

Where are you unwell?

I didn't come here because I'm unwell.

Then why are you hanging out at someone else's hospital?

There's someone the doctor must check.

There was a patient. You should have told me earlier.

He's someone who can't go to the hospital due to reasons we can't say.

Where is he?

Where are you hurting?

Since yesterday, he said his lower stomach hurt as if someone was stabbing him.

Let's see...

Aigoo, it hurts because he doodled all over his body like this.

You have a fever.

Does it hurt here?

We should do a surgery right now. It's appendicitis. If it bursts, he will die.

Hyungnim, he will do surgery right now.

Endure just a bit longer.

But looks like gangsters these days have a lot of money.

Your clothes look nice.

It's cheap.

Wow, it's done. -Are you done?

No, it's not done yet. You have to pay the treatment fee.

Wow, you hoodlum bastards.

Do you see this?

Ow! -Okay, I get it. How much is it?

The treatment fee is $1,500.

Hey, I don't accept cards.

- Here, $1,500. - Sign and fill in your contact information.

Contact information? Hey, give it to me.

Here.

One stitch is $100.

Oh wow.

I think I have to make ten stitches, so $1,000?

Hey, wow.

Okay, $1,000. Quickly start stitching.

Hey, pay 50 cents more.

Hey, what's with the 50 cents?

If I tell you to pay, just pay. Why are you talking so much?

Ow! - Hey!

50 cents. Here.

I will stitch.

Hey, the phone.

Wow, this is too much.

Your phone.

Yeah, why?

What?

Hyung!

What happened? He found your mom?

It's not time yet.

You think I just found her? You should pay the rest.

Money.

♪ Nilniriya

It's time now.

Mom!

Chang Yi!

Aigo, Chang Yi!

Wow, wow.

Stop crying and take your mom and treat her to some meat soup and white rice.

Please be sure to deliver this message to Teacher Choi.

Thank you so much, Teacher Choi.

Thank you so much.

It's not Teacher Choi, Mom.

Teacher Im.

That's right. I'm Teacher Im.

What are you doing? Take your mom out for a treat.

Here.

Let's go. -Hey, is this real, or am I dreaming?

Good job.

Wait, how is it possible?

It's simple.

If I send this to the Chinese brokers,

a guy in N. Korea will make a call confirming that they received the money from the Chinese.

Then, that man will find the person we want.

Then, they take out the person who we want through the route they know.

Putting cash into the hands of those N. Korean bastards.

Socialism?

That's all bullsh*t.

Hey, if you just give them money,

they can even get Kim Il Sung's statue.

Did you say that woman's name

was Song Jae Hee?

Did you find Jae Hee?

Did you find her?

You know that I only accept dollars.

I'm asking you if you found her!

I came back, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister. -It was so close, Secretary Kim. Don't you think so?

But didn't you become the Prime Minister?

There's only the King higher than me. The rest are beneath me.

If we were in the Joseon Period, would I be called the "Chief State Councillor"? (Present-day Prime Minister)

People come up with songs to memorize the names of Kings,

but they don't care who the Chief State Councillors were.

Prime Minister.

What about Park Hoon?

He was released today.

How is he? -Like they said, he's on the move.

I can't believe I, Jang Seok Joo,

have to receive help from that bastard.

We've become the laughingstock.

Anyways, he is the best cardiac thoracic surgeon in the North.

That's true.

But still, he won't give in that easily.

He won't.

This, this. This is not enough for the initial payment.

I will earn money and give you more, so hurry up and tell me if they found Jae Hee.

Okay. If the doctor says so, I'll give you something.

Is it this woman?

Yes.

Hoon.

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.

Jae Hee.
