Doctor Stranger

That's right.

I'm the kid Lee Sung Hoon...

...from twenty years ago.

Thank you for making my life...

...meaningful...

...Director Oh Joon Gyu.

You...

You...

How could you?

Get the spare keys!

Okay!

Father!

Father, are you alright?

Jae Joon!

Father!

Get a surgery room ready. Hurry!

Yes, ma'am.

What did you do?

What have you done?

Father...

Father...

Get him out of here quickly.

I'll never forgive you.

Never.

I'm almost done. You can leave now.

Everything will be alright.

You're bothering me standing there and watching like that.

Alright.

[Episode 19]

How's the director?

He'll be alright.

I'm sorry to say that to you.

Is this what you had in mind all along?

Tell me!

Have you wanted my father to die from the very beginning?

I didn't know he would pass out.

Liar.

Then why did you lock the door?

I didn't want any interruptions.

From what?

Killing my father?

Soo Hyun.

Then what is it?

I told you already!

I just need him to apologize.

Nonsense.

If I hadn't broken into the room, my father would be dead now.

You would have killed him.

How can you call yourself a doctor...

...with such corrupted soul?

Someone was dying in front of you. How could you just do nothing?

You're not a doctor. You're a murderer.

You're right.

I'm not a doctor.

I'm just a murderer, blinded by revenge.

But could you at least try to understand me?

Understand you?

What you're feeling now is...

...how I felt twenty years ago when I lost...

...both of my parents.

Can you consider...

...why I did what I did...

...and why I had to be so cold-blooded?

You did me wrong...

...and now you're asking for my sympathy?

I can't do that.

Leave the hospital now.

Right now.

I will.

Thank you.

I don't know what went wrong...

...but if first aid had been delayed at all...

...it would've been fatal.

Sir.

There's a funny rumor going around.

It can't be true, right?

What funny rumor?

They're saying you're the son...

...of a patient who died in a medical accident...

...so you're getting revenge on the director.

- It's unbelievable. - It's true.

Huh?

It's not a rumor. It's true.

Sir...

I'll be leaving soon.

I never really liked this place.

I hope you put your all...

...into becoming a really good doctor.

What are you doing here?

I just submitted my letter of resignation.

Then leave.

I don't ever want to see you again...

No.

Don't ever come near our hospital again.

He'll soon wake up.

Thank you.

Why did you do that?

I've been dying to do it...

...for twenty years.

So...

...do you feel better?

I failed on my revenge.

I don't think you failed.

You gave up on it because you love the quack.

That's not true.

Don't lie.

I know you did CPR to save the director.

Tell her the truth and ask for forgiveness...

...or she'll misunderstand you and hate you forever.

That's even better.

She can forget all about me easily.

I came to say goodbye before I leave.

You're leaving?

I don't...

...want to be a doctor anymore.

- Why? - I'm not qualified.

I became a doctor for revenge.

I never had a sense of duty...

...to treat patients.

I thought you were just a stranger when I first met you...

...but the more I thought about it...

...I realized...

...I'm the real stranger.

You taught me a valuable lesson.

Any doctor who doesn't truly respect...

...the lives of patients is a stranger.

If that's really how you think...

...you'd better stick around here.

Then someday, the quack will understand you.

I can't forgive myself.

I'm not coming back to the hospital.

Can I ask you for a favor?

What favor?

Soo Hyun...

...really likes you.

Sorry...

...but I found Jae Hee.

I can't tell you the details, but I found her...

...so I don't care about other women.

She's the only one on my mind...

...so I have to say no.

Then let me ask you another way.

Can you please...

...be a good friend to her and take care of her?

Hmm...

As friends?

Please.

Father!

Are you alright?

What's wrong? Are you looking for someone?

Dr. Han.

Where is Han Jae Joon?

He's not here anymore.

Bring him here.

I have something to tell him.

Forget it!

You lost consciousness and he just watched!

That's not true.

He saved my life.

That's for Soo Hyun.

Bring him here.

That can't be true.

Quickly.

He didn't say anything to me.

Nothing at all.

Where is Jae Joon?

You're lying!

Quickly.

The customer you're calling is...

[Oh Soo Hyun]

[Thoracic Surgeon Han Jae Joon]

[Thoracic Surgeon Han Jae Joon]

Jae Joon!

Jae Joon!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

So the director is in intensive care, recovering.

He took a big blow from Han Jae Joon.

They'll soon vote for someone...

...to be the new acting director.

They should.

Our VIP's surgery is fast approaching.

They'll need a leader.

You can't find the body?

I shot him.

You have to find it.

Yes, sir.

Cha Jin Soo could be alive.

Stay alert.

Yes, sir.

[Myung Woo Hospital]

I take this position with a heavy heart...

...due to the director's illness.

I'll try my best to take on his role...

...so everything runs smoothly...

...until his recovery.

Tell me how many people you need at the branch...

...and post a notice.

Alright.

Oh... Wait.

Yes, madam director.

You can just relax like always.

So I'll be the new manager of thoracic surgery?

Yes.

I'm so sorry about Dr. Han.

You can leave.

Sure.

[Moon Hyung Wook, Manager of Thoracic Surgery]

I'm just back where I should be...

...but it's still overwhelming.

Congratulations, Professor...

I mean Manager Moon.

Enough is enough.

Quiet! This is a precious moment.

I'm going to take my time!

Let's give a round of applause!

Thanks, everyone!

As soon as we're done with the premier's surgery...

...the department of thoracic surgery will...

...get the spotlight and an enormous amount of funding.

What are you doing?

Huh?

Sorry, I had a night shift yesterday.

So...

...as your manager...

...I feel that weight on my shoulders.

You guys should all join me...

...and try your best...

...so we can represent Myung Woo!

[Quack]

You all know what I mean, right?

Where are you going?

What weird thing did Jae Hee tell you?

It was about her kidney transplant.

Did you take her father's kidney?

If that's true...

...she must really love you.

If she knew that already...

...how could she have looked for you?

What do you mean?

She knew all along?

She said she didn't feel confident enough...

...to meet you at first.

She told me that you like me.

I'm sorry to have confused you...

...but I don't have any feelings for you.

Thanks for letting me know...

...but I feel like...

...Jae Hee is trying to send you to me.

Why did you lie to me?

Lie?

You knew a long time ago...

...that I gave you your father's kidney.

It doesn't matter when I found out.

You said you just found out...

...and you couldn't forgive me for hiding it from you.

You also asked the quack to take care of me.

You're doing all this on purpose.

You pretended to be mad to try and push me away.

That's right.

I did it because I don't want you anymore.

Why?

I told you.

I knew your love was hypocritical.

What you call love is actually...

...the guilt and responsibility you feel over my father's death.

- Jae Hee... - I told you not to call my name.

Do you know how it feels...

...to carry your father's death...

...with you all the time?

I tried everything to forget it.

But how can I forget when it's inside my body?

Every breath I take...

...is full of misery and guilt.

It hurts me more...

...when I think that it's all your fault.

Don't you get it?

Then I'll say it clearly one last time.

I...

...never loved you from my heart.

You can leave if you heard me.

Then what's this about?

I'll cherish every moment...

...I had with you over the last month.

Especially that time...

...you held me tightly in the office.

I was so happy then.

I was sure you knew my true identity...

...even when I didn't tell you...

...and I denied it.

Listen to it!

Hoon.

The reason I want to do this alone...

...is because of your mother.

If you...

...take on the surgery and something goes wrong...

...your mother will have no one to take care of her.

Look at me in the eyes and say it.

Do you not love me?

Do you mean it?

Yes.

Tell me one more time.

Do you mean it?

Tell me.

Do you mean it?

Yes, I like you!

I love you!

I never hated you...

...but it was a hard time for me!

I thought about you every day.

I dreamed about us living together happily.

Then why?

I thought I was in your way...

...and keeping you from being a real doctor.

I thought...

...you'd be better off without me...

...and safer.

I'm sorry.

I never knew I would put you in danger.

How is that your fault?

It's because I made the wrong choice.

What wrong choice?

I regret it so much.

Don't you want to see Park Hoon?

Back then...

...I never could have guessed it would put you at risk.

I couldn't even think properly.

I just missed you so much.

I'm so sorry, Hoon.

I never knew...

...it would risk your life.

I just...

I just wanted...

...to see you...

...one time.

Jang Seok Joo promised you and your mother?

I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you.

Sorry.

It's alright.

I was foolish to think he'd let you go so easily.

I'm going to meet his secretary tomorrow.

Jan Seok Joo's secretary?

I think we can come up with...

...a good strategy if I can convince him.

Can you do it?

I have to try.

We should try everything.

Alright.

What? Betray the premier?

Jang Seok Joo is not the right person...

...to lead our country.

I'm sure you know that better than anyone else.

If you're willing to help us...

...we can stop it.

I know I gave you heads up...

...but I'm a soldier.

Soldiers value something...

...that can't be bought with money.

Can you guess what that is?

It's loyalty.

It's the same...

...for all of the other agents who serve the premier.

Would a person like Jang Seok Joo know about that?

If he didn't...

...he couldn't have kept me around for twenty years.

Loyalty, right?

If that's so important...

...then why did you save me and look after my mother?

Did he tell you to do that too?

I thought of it as repaying a debt.

I'll forget what you've said.

Don't plan on anything funny.

Just concentrate on preparing well for the surgery.

Hello, Jang Seok Joo speaking.

It's our VIP, premier.

Yes, Mr. President?

How are you feeling today?

Not too bad.

I was planning on coming to see how you are tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes.

You're in the hospital.

I should pay you a visit.

Alright.

We don't have to wait much longer.

[Approval rating among candidates for the next presidential election]

[Premier Jang Seok Joo: 31%]

Seems like you could get what you want...

...if we held the election now.

Election results are just like...

...natural phenomena.

The fit and worthy will beat out...

...those who aren't.

It's the lot of the dumb ones to get...

...vicarious satisfaction...

...for what they can't get in real life.

We don't need these meaningless numbers...

...to win it for sure.

We need lots of money to...

...shut their mouths.

Or...

...we need a sensational event...

...to get their interest.

Like a summit meeting between the North and South?

Exactly.

Why are you here?

I'm sure you're not here...

...to praise my political prowess.

Bring back Park Hoon's mother.

Why should I listen to you?

If you don't...

...we can't do surgery...

...on the president like you want.

Does it work like that?

You need both the carrot and stick...

...to make a horse run.

His life has been at stake this entire time.

He won't listen to your threats anymore.

So now the stick isn't working...

...give him carrots?

Just letting him be with his mother will be enough.

Of course...

...you can keep your eyes on him...

...as much as you want.

I'm not too comfortable with that.

Remember.

You...

...don't have anyone else...

...other than Park Hoon.

The president is coming?

That's right.

He's coming tomorrow to see the premier.

He might want to see...

...the team doing the premier's surgery. You better get ready too.

It'll be an honor to my family...

...to shake hands with the president.

Actually...

...when I see him...

...I'll ask him to take a picture with me!

That's better!

[Dr. Han Seung Hee]

Hey, it's me.

Come home.

Something wrong?

Your mother...

...is here.

Mom...

Mom, this meal looks better than before, right?

Thank you.

Mom, this is Jae Hee.

She's my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

Isn't she pretty?

You are pretty.

You're also beautiful.

Of course she is. She's my mother.

See you later.

You want to meet the president?

Isn't it brilliant? synced by riri13

If we tell him about Jang Seok Joo's plan...

...he can guarantee our safety.

Jang Seok Joo's people will be watching.

There will also be the president's body guards.

Will you really get to talk to him?

I'll try my best to break away.

Can you try to convince the quack?

You mean Dr. Oh?

We'll need her help to meet with him

How are you feeling?

Well, I'm getting bored around here...

...since I feel perfectly fine.

What brings you here?

You could've simply called me.

I want to see someone.

Who?

Dr. Park Hoon.

Dr. Park Hoon?

That's right.

He'll be doing my heart surgery.

I'd like to meet him in person.

He doesn't know the surgery is actually for you yet.

What if word gets out?

We've tried so hard to keep it a secret.

I'm very concerned about that.

Do you think so?

In that case, I would like to...

...take a tour of the hospital.

Of course.

I'll call them.

You have people watching Park Hoon and Han Seung Hee?

Yes, sir.

Actually...

...it'll be big trouble if he speaks up.

Go there yourself.

Yes, sir.

It's nice to meet you, Dr. Oh.

Thank you, it hasn't been very long since I took this position.

These are patient rooms.

What?

You lost Park Hoon?

I'm sorry, sir.

Where is the president?

Hoon...

...has to speak with the president.

Do you think it's possible for them to meet secretly?

Please, I'm begging you.

It's very important.

What is it about?

It won't put the hospital at risk, I'm sure.

I would really appreciate if you could.

Is this the office?

It is.

Please take a look around.

Cover!

I'm Park Hoon, Mr. President.

You're the doctor who will do the premier's surgery?

I have something to tell you.

Me?

I only want you to hear it, Mr. President.

That's not possible.

What is it about?

It's alright. You can say it.

Alright.

The premier's surgery is...

Ah, there you are!

Premier Jang.

Oh, you've already met!

This is the head surgeon, Dr. Park Hoon.

He's on call at the hospital...

...despite having an ill mother.

I see.

Anyway...

...please take good care of the premier.

What's going on?

Excuse me.

Do you understand that everything we've worked for...

...for the last ten years would have all been for nothing?

I'm sorry.

That doesn't solve anything!

You...

...did it on purpose.

You let him go on purpose!

- Premier... - Then...

...how could he have possibly gotten away, huh?

I always suspected something...

...between you and him.

I ordered you to kill him but you let him go.

On top of that...

...I told you to kill her and you looked after her for twenty years!

I didn't see the need to go so far.

Shut up!

You also said things...

...during the investigation.

I have prosecutor friends!

Mr. Premier!

I've served you for more than twenty years.

How could you doubt my loyalty?

What loyalty?

Be honest.

Let's be honest. Let's be honest!

You're just looking to be...

...the president's guard...

...after I become president soon!

Mr. Premier!

Then do as I say!

I'll forgive you for everything...

...when that day comes!

But until then...

...do your work properly!

You understand?

Hello, Mr. President.

I'd like to switch to Min Gook University Hospital.

The surgery is next week.

Why did you change your mind?

The director at Myung Woo is ill.

His son's also in jail.

But you said we'd have it here.

I'm starting to have...

...second thoughts about Myung Woo.

Do you think it was absolutely necessary to kill them?

It's a small sacrifice for the bigger picture.

I would like to state...

...that the premier had nothing to do with it.

You also said things...

...during the investigation.

I have prosecutor friends!

Hello, I'm back from school.

Jang Seok Joo saw you?

Did you tell the president anything?

Nothing.

Then why are you so relaxed?

The president wants to go to Min Gook University Hospital...

...for his surgery now!

That won't happen.

What?

He can't go anywhere else for his surgery.

I'm the only one who can do it.

What do you mean?

I'll explain it soon...

...but I need you to do something for me.

Me? What is it?

It's...

What did you tell him?

What's going on?

What did you tell him...

...that made him change his mind about the hospital?

He can't go to any other hospital.

He's got about a week left.

I'm sorry to say...

...that you have about one week left.

It's risky...

...but you could consider a transplant.

He needs a transplant to survive...

...but there's a reason he can't get one.

He has a chronic condition...

...that keeps him from taking immunosuppressants.

I told you I'll die if I take immunosuppressants.

Is there another way?

There's the Batista operation.

[Batista operation: removing parts of the left chamber]

The success rate is too low.

There's no other way?

There is one.

There's a potential surgery...

...that's perfectly suited for your condition...

...but it's long been out of practice.

What is it?

It's called SAVER.

[SAVER: reconstruction of the left chambers]

I've looked through medical records...

...and studies done during the last ten years.

I haven't seen a single successful case...

...or really see that it's ever really been practiced.

That's not true.

There's one person...

...who's done it.

He needs the SAVER procedure.

Or else?

He'll give us a call soon.

Don't be cocky.

Hello?

It's me, Premier Jang.

Yes, sir. Go on.

I think we need to stay at Myung Woo.

Jae Hee!

How did it go?

The president's coming here.

We're almost there.

Everything will be alright.

I'm sure.

I don't think we need to hide it any longer. Don't you agree?

Yes, sir.

It's actually not Premier Jang who needs surgery.

It's me.

Remember the surgery...

...you performed not too long ago?

SAVER.

Yes.

Is the patient who...

...had the operation still healthy?

Of course.

Would it be possible for me to get...

...the SAVER procedure?

As you can see, your left chamber is enlarged.

It's called left ventricular hypertrophy.

I've heard that plenty...

...from my family doctor.

I'm not interested in those things.

What's the success rate?

I can't say 100%.

I hate it when doctors talk like that.

They always say things like...

..."We'll try our best. We have to watch it."

They're never sure of anything.

Only god can have a 100% success rate.

Do I get special treatment as the president?

Once you're on the operating table...

...you're just a patient.

No more, no less.

You're a true doctor.

Can I hear what you had to say before?

There are three bodyguards and agents...

...with him in the hospital.

There's also a team waiting outside.

How is he?

He's in worse condition than we thought.

I'd like to move it forward to tomorrow.

Of course.

Yes, Mr. President.

Please take good care of me.

Mr. President!

Can you help me?

Quickly!

Dr. Park...

Please...

Let's move him quickly.

All agents listen. All agents listen.

Chief Jung!

You're...

...aware of clause 71, right?

From now until the president wakes up...

...I, the premier...

...will take on his role as president...

...in accordance...

...with clause 71.

Call the secretaries and ministers...

...to the Blue House immediately.

Then what about the president's condition?

That should be kept a secret.

Yes, sir.

Dr. Park, what's going on?

We need your help quickly, Nurse Min.

What's going on so suddenly?

Keep your mouth shut and focus.

Alright.

Wash up quickly.

Ready when you are.

Let's begin...

...the SAVER procedure.

Messer.

The president is in the hospital?

He's having emergency surgery.

Where is he?

He's at Myung Woo University Hospital.

What if something goes wrong?

What do you mean by that?

That's a given.

What if something goes wrong...

...during the surgery?

Is that what you want?

Let's keep it down.

The law tells us...

...exactly what to do.

If the president is incapacitated...

...the premier will take on his role.

[Vacant: as in, due to resignation, illness, or imprisonment]

[New Message]

The surgery was a success, just like you've wanted.

If BIS reads between 40 and 60, he'll be in a coma.

It it goes above 80, he'll wake up.

[BIS: bispectral index, used to monitor depth of anesthesia]

If it remains where it is...

...things will go as planned.

If it reaches 80 at any time...

...and falls back down to 40...

...things need to be readjusted.

Do you know...

...who my favorite king is from...

...the Joseon Dynasty?

It's Sejo.

Tae-Jung-Tae-Sei-Moon-Dan-Sei.

[Name of kings]

It's Sejo from there.

You know about him.

He killed his nephew...

...for the throne.

That guy knew his stuff.

So what did he know?

He knew the difference between the fit and unfit.

It's..

...not about how strong you are.

You really have to know how to...

...step on the unfit ones...

...to be the fittest of all. You see?

Nephew? That means nothing.

You have to knock down the weaker one...

...when you have the chance...

...while you're stronger.

It's nature's law and wisdom to live by.

He clearly didn't know it.

His ignorance got him where he is now.

Hey man.

You should've taken me down...

...when you found about the bribery...

...during the elections.

Did you think I would behave...

...and do what I was told...

...if you put me on a leash?

No way.

We'll...

...have an election soon.

You should just get some rest until then.

I'll have a successful summit meeting...

...with North Korea and impress our dumb citizens.

Then...

...I'll let you rest in peace forever.

You get it?

[Final episode tomorrow]
