Original subtitles

Dr. Park.

Please stop. Please stop.

-Dr. Park! -What are you doing?

Dr. Park!

What's wrong with you?

What's going on here?

Dr. Kim, what happened?

She has abdominal tenderness and spasms.

ABDOMINAL SPASM: CONTRACTIONS OF THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

The abscess may have burst into the abdomen.

The abscess may have induced peritonitis.

She needs surgery now! Now!

Be quiet and go to the office!

Get an OR and set up the ultrasound.

Yes, sir.

What about the surgery consent form?

Call the man from Child Services.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Cho, take the injured guard to the ER.

Take Eun-ok. Now!

Yes, sir.

Coming through.

-Let us through. -Let us through.

Why can't we have a single quiet day?

I closed the door.

I didn't leave it open. I didn't leave it open.

You can talk all you want, but it's useless.

No one believes you!

I told you before

to think about how much you hurt people.

You didn't even think about them.

Not even Dr. Cha, who trusted you.

Why aren't you in the OR?

I'm sorry.

Chin up.

What are you, Si-on's mother?

What are you doing here, asking for forgiveness?

It's my fault too.

Shut it.

Get inside.

The abscess burst inward, as expected.

It's panperitonitis.

The abscess worsened more quickly than expected.

It's huge.

Can an abscess burst into the abdomen?

I've seen it in documents and photos, but it's my first time seeing it myself.

How will you do the incision?

We'll cut longitudinally below the belly button.

About three to four centimeters should do.

Let's begin.

Yes, sir.

Scalpel.

What?

How many people got hurt?

Yes, I understand.

What's wrong with this hospital?

She's getting hurt instead of getting better.

We're changing hospitals.

I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

"Sorry" doesn't cut it!

Does it hurt a lot?

My poor baby.

What's your problem?

Do you know what's going on?

I locked the door. I checked it before I left.

Shut it, punk!

How dare you make excuses?

I'm telling the truth. I'm telling the truth.

You're done for.

Don't you dare come back here, got it?

I'm glad you're here.

-I'm assessing the situation-- -Sorry.

Would you please excuse us?

Sure.

Suction.

We'll start with the abscess.

Can we remove the urachus right away?

We have to remove it completely after draining it.

If we leave any behind, it can return.

We have to remove the dead portions too.

I'm worried because she's not well psychologically.

She'll have a difficult recovery.

Dr. Han.

Get lots of water to wash with and two drainage tubes.

Yes, sir.

Warm saline and two large drainage tubes, please.

I... I'm telling the truth. I'm telling the truth.

I didn't leave it open. I didn't leave it open.

Sure, I'm sure you didn't.

You're very thorough.

I didn't mean to hit that man.

I don't hit people. I hate being hit too.

Yes, I know.

Si-on.

Yes?

So far, you've learned how to treat kids,

but you must learn how to take responsibility now.

I really didn't do it.

Yes,

but the world doesn't work that way.

Sometimes, you must take responsibility

for the things you didn't do too.

Why must you take responsibility

for something you didn't do?

As the Chief of Pediatric Surgery,

I apologize for this horrendous event.

My deepest apologies.

Truthfully, I'm not that surprised.

It's what we expected.

I'll let Dr. Park Si-on go.

These were events that should never have happened.

I won't bother making excuses.

Without calling for a board meeting,

I will let him go on authority as the director.

Excuse me, but after you let him go,

what about your promised resignation?

I'm sorry for interrupting,

but this isn't the time.

This isn't a place for the Head of Management to speak.

I'm an executive here as well.

I have the right.

Please stop.

I will keep my promise.

We can finalize the issue regarding Park Si-on here,

but the matter regarding the director is for the foundation to decide,

not the hospital.

Why do you seem so warm lately?

What do you mean?

You seem to care for the director and Dr. Park Si-on.

Did I seem that way?

Not particularly.

Really?

I guess I was mistaken.

You should've discussed it with me first.

What was the rush?

No, the sooner the better.

They'll probably call a shareholders' meeting about getting you to step down.

I'm prepared to bear it.

I can stall a little,

until we resolve the funding issue.

I'll think of a way by then.

There's no need.

I have to.

I don't think

I can do anything without you.

Tie.

Tie Three-Five.

Another tie.

One more.

Metzenbaum.

I removed the suspected urachus residue.

But it may return, so monitor closely.

Are there no other dangerous variables?

For now.

-Dr. Cha, you finish up. -Yes, sir.

Pipette.

Suction.

CHAE-GYEONG

-Hey. -How was the surgery?

I just finished.

We just had an urgent meeting and decided something.

What was decided?

Dr. Cha.

The professor said to wait in the office.

I wanted to know how Eun-ok's surgery went.

It went well.

We removed the urachus too.

Also, I closed the door properly.

I did not leave it open.

I cannot tell a lie.

The chief and the professor say I was wrong.

The director believes me, but still says it's my fault.

I don't understand.

Do you think...

I'm lying too?

Didn't you say you believed me?

Get back to the office.

Go.

Letting Si-on go is unavoidable,

but I don't see why you need to quit.

I promised in front of everyone.

You can simply take it back.

I never break my word.

You can break one like this.

Why keep your word to jerks like them?

There's no promise that you can break.

-Sir. -That's enough.

Do-han.

Thanks for everything.

Thanks.

If I become director and your brother-in-law becomes chairman,

what do you gain?

I'm not greedy.

If my friend and my family--

Did your brother-in-law promise you a branch?

I couldn't take that.

-I'll just treat patients all my life-- -I guess I was right.

I can see it on your face.

I'll go along with you, since I have no choice,

but make no mistakes.

Or you and I will be done for in an instant.

How dare you barge in?

Are you happy now?

-What are you talking about? -You know what I'm talking about!

We don't, so just say it.

Forget it.

Doing so will only make you look foul.

Do-han!

Your power struggles are so childish.

Aren't you ashamed?

How dare you talk to us that way?

You think it's over, don't you?

Remember.

What goes around, comes around.

There are no security cameras there.

What about the lock?

The server doesn't get information from that lock.

Pediatric Surgery had their own system installed.

So we can't find out who went in and out?

No,

but it stores the last ten people who went in.

Pretend to test it and get the records.

Then reset it.

Without telling anyone.

And give me the list of people who went in and out during that time.

I don't get them.

Those scumbags or the director, who just takes it!

It's not like we didn't expect it.

It's his fault for showing a weakness.

We shouldn't have brought Si-on in.

So why did he have to bring him here?

You know, you look powerless too.

You're just getting upset, but you can't do anything.

You're passionate, but powerless.

You lack the power to fix situations like this.

You still won't take my offer?

If you do as I ask,

you can resolve these ridiculous situations easily.

Go change.

Excuse me?

Why do I need to change?

Go home for now.

I'll call you.

No, I must see Eun-ok. I must go to the ICU.

This is the end, Si-on.

You can't come

to the hospital anymore.

There isn't a single person believes me.

We're switching Seong-eun's gastric acid suppressant injection for pills.

-Give them to her twice a day. -Okay.

None of the kids got really hurt, right?

No, luckily.

The kids are fine,

but the parents are freaking out.

What will happen to Dr. Park?

Dr. Cha.

Yes?

Si-on...

The lobby is that way.

I want to say goodbye to Dr. Cha.

Just leave.

I must say bye to the nurses too.

It's not like they would care.

Wherever you go, don't hurt others.

Don't ever think you can do anything on your own.

And...

Live a life that best suits you.

That's my final word of advice to you.

DR. CHA YUN-SEO

Why aren't you picking up?

Si-on!

Hey, Si-on!

Si-on!

Well...

This may be better for you.

Sorry, Si-deok.

I'll do better next time.

I'll become a doctor next time.

Park Si-on.

Don't take on the world.

Avoid it if you can

and hide if you can.

Please.

Are you awake?

You must align your heart with the animal's,

so that the magnetic field by your heart

overlaps with that of the animal's heart.

Then it's easier to communicate.

That's the first rule of animal communication.

Where's my niece?

Eun-ok!

Eun-ok!

Please keep it down. This is a hospital.

Whatever! I want my niece!

Who said you could operate on her?

Under the law, we can operate even if a friend or a temporary guardian consents.

That's nonsense.

What kind of a hospital is this?

I guess you weren't imprisoned.

Imprisoned? Like hell.

I received a warning, okay?

What did I do wrong? I fed and raised her.

Bring her out.

She can't move right now.

She can leave after finishing treatment.

Why?

So you can charge me more money?

Bring her out now!

Why, to raise her like a dog again?

What's it to you if I raise her like a dog or a cow?

-Then just give her up for adoption! -Ma'am...

What is wrong with you people?

The nine-year-old girl can't even speak

and has psychological problems and numerous illnesses.

You did that to her, and you call yourself her family?

How dare you talk to me like that?

Please calm down.

You're just a doctor.

Stay out of our family matters!

You can't take her.

Get a court order or something

if you want to take her.

Why you little...

-Let's not do this. Let's just go. -So annoying.

Let go of me!

What a total bitch!

Why that little punk.

Hey, lady.

What?

What do you take doctors for?

What?

Shut your trap and take it to the courts if you want to take her, as she said!

What? Why you--

Just try causing a scene here again...

And I won't forgive you.

If you won't...

What will you do?

Why don't you try

and find out?

I have plenty of other things to do if I get fired.

The elevator says you should go.

Get going.

I calmed her down and sent her along.

How could she get off with a warning?

That's outrageous.

I've seen something like this before.

They only give a warning if there's no proof of abuse.

All they can do is have child services check on them.

Kids would die that way.

Seriously!

Our poor Eun-ok.

It would be so much nicer if Dr. Park Si-on were here.

She liked him a lot.

Where is Dr. Park?

Is he being punished?

He quit.

Oh my gosh.

He got fired?

Forget it. Stop asking.

He was fired, wasn't he?

How could they fire him so suddenly? He was here just this morning.

Don't complain to me.

This hospital is ridiculous.

What did he do that was so wrong?

IN-HAE

Doc.

I'm in so much pain, I think I'm going to die.

In-hae?

Where... Where does it hurt?

Doc.

I...

Well... You see...

My heart... My heart aches.

I'm getting goose bumps from saying that.

Did you

lie to me?

And you've been screening my calls.

Where are you?

Dr. Scarecrow closed the door for sure, right?

Yes, I think so.

Then how did the puppy girl get out?

What is it?

I feel bad for Dr. Scarecrow.

You're not scared of him?

No, not at all. I'm fine now.

I'm still scared.

Me too.

He never smiles and has a blank stare.

My mom said that he's slightly psycho.

How could someone who's psycho become a doctor?

She really said that.

That the hospital hired him regardless!

No, he's not like that.

You guys are mistaken!

Hey!

In-hae!

Did you hear about Si-on?

Yes.

I saw him in the lobby.

I wanted to say something,

but I just let him go.

If I had caught him,

I would've told him to beg you,

to make excuses.

And to just hang in there.

But I couldn't do it.

Because I thought maybe you were right.

That this is best for him.

I think you made the right decision.

You are much wiser than I am.

Are you okay?

Thanks to you.

Take your medicine and rest for a few days.

Thank you.

I don't mean to pry,

but do you have a husband or any children?

Sorry.

That was too personal.

No.

My husband's far away.

I have a son, but he's far away too.

So, you're not alone then.

You're just apart for now.

Actually...

That young male doctor.

He must be working now.

Yes, he's busy treating patients.

The kids like him and he's very skilled.

His parents

must be so proud.

I don't lie.

But why don't people believe me?

You really are here.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You said you were coming here.

You shouldn't be out. What if you get an infection?

I don't have a fever or a breakout.

I'll stay for just one hour.

But why are you here? You're not a kid.

I always wanted to check it out if I ever came to Seoul

because there are so many robots.

You can't break these like you broke Seo-jun's, okay?

You can't touch these.

It says so right there.

Why do you like robots?

Because they listen to me.

They believe me.

Robots stay still.

No matter how much I talk,

they stay and listen to me.

He seemed very disappointed

that no one believed him.

He's right.

He can't tell a lie.

Sometimes, the overcoming autism program

actually teaches them how to lie, to help adapt to society.

But even I failed there.

Then how did he go to school and adapt to society?

That's because of his incredible memorization skills.

Studies, the notion of good and evil,

rules of society.

He memorized everything he needed to function.

No, he memorized the whole world.

But

he couldn't understand anything irrational or wrong.

But you know,

he talked a lot about his brother,

but never about his parents.

When Si-on was eight years old,

they left him alone at home

and never came back.

We have no idea if they're even alive.

That's when I took him in.

I see.

But he'd recognize them

if he saw them, right?

Si-on

froze himself in time when he was happiest,

being with his brother.

No, it's more like he locked himself in there.

And he erased everything

other than memories about his brother.

That includes what his parents looked like

and all their memories together.

The reason Si-on has the mental age of a child

is not only because of his autism.

He just doesn't want to leave that time in his life.

Like Peter Pan.

-More noodles, please. -Sure.

-More rice cakes, please. -Sure.

That looks good.

It smells heavenly.

You can't even eat. Why are you here?

I feel full just watching you eat.

How would you feel full when I'm the one eating?

-You need fluids-- -Never mind. Just eat.

Sure, this isn't the only hospital.

Just be a doctor elsewhere.

Tell me where you go.

I'll transfer there.

Dr. Kim and Dr. Cha are better doctors than I am.

A patient has the right to choose her doctor.

And you're the best doctor in my eyes.

Don't hole yourself up in your room and sulk just because you got canned, okay?

Okay.

Potato.

PARK SI-ON, CHO JEONG-MI, PARK SI-ON, WOO IL-GYU

WOO IL-GYU

It feels a little empty.

What does?

Si-on.

It's weird not having him around.

What do you mean? It feels great now that he's gone.

Gil-nam, don't you agree?

I don't feel great.

I'm a little sad, actually.

What about you, Jin-uk?

I'm not sad.

I didn't do enough for him to feel sad.

Neither did you guys.

Where did you go this time?

To get some fresh air.

For three hours? You didn't even answer your phone!

I felt trapped, so I went out to see a friend.

Still, you have to resist.

What if you get an infection? Your sister will worry.

Sorry.

But while we're on the topic,

do something about my sister.

What?

She won't come because she's uncomfortable around you.

So you should resolve the tension.

I hate guys who give up easily.

Hey, In-hae, make sure you sterilize your hands...

Why did I barge in

without ringing the bell?

You screened my calls. Would you have let me in?

Follow me.

Where are we going?

To the library.

I don't want to study right now.

This is a library?

There are no books.

So you are alive. Who's he?

Say hi.

He's the owner here and all the med students' uncle.

How do you do? I'm Park Si-on.

I see.

He's the guy?

Can you drink?

I've never tried.

Your college friends didn't make you drink?

They tried, but I didn't drink.

I really, really hate the smell.

If I give you a drink, will you drink it or not?

I will drink it.

Here.

Cheers.

Hey, it's not poison.

Don't go back home just yet because you got fired.

Let's eat together this weekend and then you can go.

Are you still upset with me?

Because you think I don't believe you?

I can stand people hating me.

But I don't want to be called a liar.

I believe you.

But faith isn't something you can gain from everyone.

It's too hard.

I don't know things like that.

Si-on.

Would you consider doing something other than being a surgeon?

There are many research positions. And radiology would be a good fit too.

No.

I must become a surgeon.

You can save kids even if you're not a surgeon.

No.

I want to see the kids smiling

and I want to treat them myself.

But you may never become a doctor, then.

Still, I will become a surgeon.

I will.

Fine.

Okay.

Since this is our first time drinking together,

drink everything here.

-Sorry? -Learn how to let go using alcohol.

That'll help you adapt to society.

Don't worry and drink.

Get drunk.

I'll take you home safely.

You punk. Why won't you get drunk?

You drank so much more than I did.

I don't know why I'm not drunk.

It started to feel like fresh spring water.

You're a total pro.

Hey.

Don't you want to curse people out?

I can't curse.

I don't like saying it or hearing it.

Still, just do it, punk.

Okay, I'll show you.

You lousy sick son of a bitch!

You again?

What? It's him.

-Long time no see! -Shut it!

Just crawl on home!

Am I a dog? Why should I crawl?

Why don't you just sleep quietly?

What?

Stay right there! I'm coming down!

Run.

-Sorry? -Run now!

Si-on.

You can cause trouble every day.

Just don't leave.

Don't go.

TRANSCRIPT

I heard Pediatric Surgery only hired top students.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR, KANG HYEON-TAE

I guess you were an exception?

Your grades are very...

But...

Your grades suddenly shot up.

Let's see.

"Adviser, Professor Ko Chung-man."

Would you please tell me why I'm here?

Why?

Why did you leave the door open?

Excuse me?

What do you mean?

I don't like responses like that.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Do you want to play games with me on this fine day?

I'm returning to Taebaek today.

Already?

You can stay a few more days.

No, I'll go and stay with the orphanage kids.

Why are you leaving so soon?

I said to stay until the weekend.

No, I must go now.

The orphanage kids said they wanted me back right away.

Then you should've left this morning when I was there.

I thought about it, but I couldn't.

Why not?

I don't know why.

I just thought it would be best to leave when you're not here.

That's what I thought.

Once you go, you won't return to Seoul?

I don't know.

But...

I don't think I will.

I'll come visit when I get time off.

-Are you listening? -Yes.

I'll get going now.

Goodbye.

Her vitals stabilized, so we moved her out of the ICU.

-What should we do about her nutrition? -Start with just water.

Give her IV fluids and antibiotics until she can eat.

Yes, sir.

I heard her aunt came by.

She's impossible to talk to.

Focus on treating her first.

Forget everything else.

What's next on schedule?

Gyu-seok's surgery is in an hour.

Okay, get ready.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

PARK SI-ON

How did you get a hold of this?

Don't be so shocked.

We must make right what went wrong.

I know I should be thanking you.

But I'm a bit confused.

I don't know what you think of me,

but I'm not that one-dimensional.

Look.

I'd like Pediatric Surgery and Park Si-on to remain in our hospital.

I'm glad to hear you feel that way.

But I'll need your full support.

Of course, this must remain a secret between us.

No one else can find out.

Hello.

-You brought food again? -It's not much.

Thank you.

Where's Dr. Park Si-on?

Dr. Park Si-on?

Why--

Well, I owe him a debt,

so I wanted to thank him.

I see. But he quit yesterday.

Excuse me?

Why didn't you tell me that he quit?

I don't know

why I keep crying about a stranger.

You can keep crying,

since you're Si-on's mother.

So that's why he didn't recognize me.

Maybe that's for the best.

So...

You've been following him all these years?

Yes.

Since he was at the medical college in Chuncheon.

I haven't left his side since then.

A lot of time has passed.

I think

it's time for you two to meet.

No.

I'll wait until he remembers me.

So please,

don't tell him until then.

Please.

Eun-ok.

You're okay now, right?

She says she's okay.

Sorry I couldn't stay with you until the end.

When you get out, I'll bring you to my hometown.

There are pretty flowers and places to run around.

So you have to stay healthy until then,

got it?

Thanks, Eun-ok.

Will you use the Michelon for Min-ung's surgery next week?

Yes.

What happened to the pediatric robotic arm?

It should've arrived by now.

I'll check with the nurses.

Okay.

Why did you rescind your approval for the pediatric robotic arm?

It's been deferred because of the sponsor issues.

What?

And I think Pediatric Surgery will lose more funding.

We can deal with reduction in our welfare expenses.

But the robotic arm is a different matter.

The adult-sized one doesn't work on kids.

You know the profit margin

for surgeries using pediatric robotic arms is the lowest.

Surgical equipment isn't about profit margins.

The hospital must bear the cost for it.

I want to help, but it's out of my hands.

The deputy director controls the budget.

Don't concern yourself with these petty things.

Try to see the big picture for the hospital.

Why are all of Pediatric Surgery's requests rejected?

How could the nation's best hospital not invest in Pediatric Surgery?

We lack both people and equipment.

There must be a reward for investing.

We're trying to figure out the medical fees issue.

The hospital must make sacrifices until then.

Dr. Kim.

I'm like a doctor.

Just as you treat patients, I treat companies.

I operate and prescribe treatments

for ailing companies and departments.

We have a lot in common actually.

No.

People aren't companies.

Is that so?

Sorry for using a poor analogy.

Please reconsider the budget.

Before you leave, I have something to tell you.

I want to see the best pediatric surgeon

conduct the best surgeries

under the best conditions.

I'll make that happen.

Mr. Kang.

It's Do-han.

What do you want?

I'm here to take Eun-ok in the presence of a cop.

You need a court order, not a cop.

Why you little...

I'm taking my niece. Why do I need that that crap?

You can't take her home.

You can take her after she completes treatment.

An ambulance is waiting outside.

I'll take her to the hospital in town.

She's her legal guardian,

so please let her take her.

I can't do that.

She had surgery yesterday.

Why don't you let her stay a few days?

What do you mean? I'm taking her now!

This isn't something you can force.

Please try to work it out.

It'll be a pain if you take it to court.

Work it out? Like hell.

I'll do as I wish.

Hey! I said, no!

Why you little...

-No... -No, you can't.

You can't take Eun-ok.

Definitely not!

Dr. Park.

You're so cold.

It's a basic symptom of being in love.

She seems to want to stay here.

I feel like I found my little brother whom I had lost.

We should've gotten rid of him.

-You're so mean. -I've never seen you so angry.

Mr. Kang, please leave the hospital.

You and I are on the same team, now.

I think I understand now what that feeling is like.

-Jong-gu. -No!
