Quickly move to a safe port.

Quickly move to a safe port.

-Hurry up. -I got it.

-This is the last one. -It's the last one.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

-One, two, three. -One, two, three.

Okay, bring it down.

Jeong-ho!

This isn't working.

I don't think we can go. We can't.

What? We can't go?

-We must. -Move.

-We must go. -Hey.

If we keep going, the ship will capsize!

We're all going to die!

What about Jeong-ho then?

Are you going to make him live with one arm?

"One arm"?

That won't happen.

What will you do then?

He can get an operation on the hospital ship.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

-Is the OR ready? -Go to operating Room 3.

He's going into cardiac arrest. He's not responding to the IV or epinephrine.

Intracardiac injection.

But...

2017 LOCATION ASSIGNMENT OF NEW PUBLIC HEALTH DOCTORS

DRAW BOX

We'll start the draw.

There are cards in the box with numbers written on them.

Based on the order of the numbers that you draw,

you'll be given a chance to choose your preferred work location.

They must be nervous.

However,

the hospital ship is an exception.

Anything but that.

Those who pick

the card that says "hospital ship" will have to work there.

Everything but the hospital ship is fine.

It can never be that.

Please come out starting from the first row.

WELCOME ABOARD THE GEOJE 505

Listen.

Stop making those faces.

You're acting like the hospital ship is haunted or something.

Let's go.

Come on! Why the long faces?

Why do you guys look so sad?

What haunted ship?

I'd say it's more like a pirate ship.

Why do they detest the hospital ship so much?

There are ten times more patients on it,

and most of the time you have to eat and sleep on the ship.

And how romantic is that?

It's not romantic at all.

If you get seasick, the last thing you'll think about is romance.

You can't get off in the middle of the sea.

It'll be like hell.

What's going on?

-I can't find any. -What do you mean?

I can't find

any internal medicine doctors.

So what now?

Did they run away from their base?

I won't apologize since I crashed on purpose.

I also won't apologize for you seeing me with him

or for crashing into your car.

I won't apologize for anything.

Can't you at least pretend to be happy to see me?

-You're acting like a stranger. -What are you doing?

What happened to you?

I'm your mother, but I'm also a woman.

-I still want to stay as a woman. -Mom.

It's not my fault.

It's your father who made me this way.

I'll call a chauffeur.

The car should be safe enough to drive since the crash was minor.

Get some rest at the hotel.

Take your time going back home.

No, you drive.

Call a tow truck and get your car picked up.

You drive my car and bring it back to Seoul now.

That makes no sense.

They said they would assign you to a good place.

There are many places near or in Seoul

where you can work as a public health doctor.

I don't want to talk about it.

I'll beg your grandfather.

We must find a way no matter what.

You basically ran away from home. If something goes wrong,

your career as a doctor...

The chauffeur is on his way.

Hyeon.

I don't care

about your father anymore.

Please

get some rest at the hotel.

Or you can ask the chauffeur to take you to Seoul.

Gosh. I want to go to Seoul.

I want to visit there too.

Hello.

Who are you?

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Kwak Hyeon, a public health doctor majoring in internal medicine.

-Has the drawing finished already? -No.

Shouldn't you be at the drawing site? Why are you here?

-I volunteered to work here. -What was that?

Who did what?

He said he volunteered to work here.

In the five years I've been the boatswain of this hospital ship,

this has never happened.

This has never happened in my ten years as a nurse.

May I come aboard?

Of course.

Please get on.

Welcome to the hospital ship.

Did he really volunteer?

Could he be mentally ill?

These are the boatswains.

-Hello. -You met him earlier.

Yes. Hello.

The ship's team is divided into the Ship Operations Team and Medical Team.

The Ship Operations Team works in the wheelhouse and engine room.

They're in charge of operating the ship.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

They also help with transporting patients when it's busy.

-Hello. -Oh, hi.

-Hello. -Hello.

May I go up?

Yes, go ahead.

Jeong-ho.

He's the new public health doctor.

Hello.

This is great.

Hello.

It's great.

Yes, and these are the nurses you'll work with.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hi. -Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Hello.

Please come this way.

Come this way.

Basic tests such as X-ray, ultrasound,

and blood tests can be done on board.

As you know, we cover internal medicine, dentistry, and Korean medicine here.

This is the pharmacy.

This is the way to the wheelhouse.

This is the X-ray room.

This is the dental treatment room.

Cool.

This is the Korean medicine treatment room.

Ta-da. This is...

the internal medicine treatment room where you'll work.

What do you think? Do you like it?

Yes.

Doctor, his blood pressure is going down.

Doctor.

Who's on the operating table?

Is it your father, Dr. Kim?

Doctor.

Don't get emotional.

Consider it a cadaver.

It's better if you don't consider him human.

But his vital signs...

Deep breaths.

Scissors.

Dr. Kim, your hand.

Do you feel the blood vessel that I'm holding?

Are you afraid?

Are you afraid the patient will die?

Then you better calm down and get it together.

Your nervousness is making your hands tremble.

And those trembling hands will be the cause of his death.

Step away now if you can't handle it.

-I can. -Then take the blood vessel I'm holding.

Take it and hold on.

CHIEF SURGEON KIM DO-HUN

I have bad news, Professor.

-Bad news? -The patient in Operating Room 3...

Isn't Dr. Song in there?

Yes.

Then isn't everything fine?

The thing is

the patient is Jang Seong-ho.

Jang Seong-ho?

You mean the heir of Doosung Group, Jang Seong-ho?

Yes.

It's not working anymore. We're at our limit.

Dr. Kim, hold tighter.

You can let go now. Let's stitch him up.

Incredible.

How is it going?

I'm finishing up.

Leave it to the team, and come with me.

Brief me on the patient's condition.

He suffered major external wounds

from a traffic accident that occurred at 5:07 a.m.

His liver and spleen were badly damaged.

I immediately performed a right hemihepatectomy

and had to excise the spleen as it was severely ruptured.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Is it true that Doosung Group's sole heir, Director Jang Seong-ho,

received surgery following a car accident?

How is his condition?

The accident happened at 5:07 a.m.

His liver and spleen were badly damaged.

A right hemihepatectomy was performed immediately.

The spleen had to be excised as it was badly ruptured.

The surgery was successful, and he is currently in recovery.

Who was the operating surgeon?

Did you operate yourself?

How it was done is

more important than who did it.

When is the patient expected to wake up?

Would you say that the patient is in good condition?

Isn't it unfair?

On my way here, I saw Chief Kim completely swamped by reporters.

It's unfair.

Isn't it?

You were the one who saved the patient's life,

-but he's taking all the credit-- -Not that.

If I had finished up, the surgery would've ended 20 minutes sooner.

Because of your sluggishness,

the patient had to suffer for that much longer.

That's what's unfair.

Dr. Song.

If you have time to waste,

spend it on making these more like a doctor's hands.

Are you upset?

Did I do something wrong?

Of course you did.

I thought she'd feel wronged.

Why would she? She calculated all that.

What do you mean?

Do you know what her dream is?

To become the youngest female chief surgeon.

She's letting Chief Kim take credit so she can be named the successor.

She would do anything

to get that title.

She's tough.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

HOSPITAL SHIP DORMITORY GEOJE 505

BEWARE OF DOG

Let's talk.

-Who are you? -I'm Kim Jae-geol,

a Korean medicine doctor. He is...

I'm Cha Jun-yeong, a dentist.

-I'm an internal medicine-- -Kwak Hyeon?

Sorry I didn't know your names.

It's fine.

We don't expect it from a star.

-A star? -Come on.

Korea has had a status system for years now.

Your dad is a star, which makes you one as well.

Why did you volunteer for the ship? Did your dad tell you to?

Kwak Seong from Doctors Without Borders.

He travels to all the worst places

like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa to treat patients.

Koreans and even the locals dubbed him Korea's Albert Schweitzer.

He's a hero.

Did he tell you not to tarnish his name?

No.

Then why?

Why did you volunteer for such a tough job?

I'm just thinking outside the box.

"Thinking outside the box"?

"If you can't avoid it, enjoy it."

Let's think we're on a cruise.

They're crazy, aren't they?

They've all lost their minds, right?

They're doing this in place of active duty.

They can't even defend the nation and they act like that?

I'm enjoying the view.

I just wish they'd show more of their goods. What a shame.

What are you doing?

Do you want to join? There's room for one more.

Are you really doctors?

No.

We still have 38 minutes.

What do you mean?

We aren't doctors until ten minutes before we go on duty.

So until then...

We have the right to have fun and be happy human beings.

A happy doctor makes for happy patients.

Correct.

My goodness.

I've manned a hospital ship for 20 years,

and I've never seen doctors with such undisciplined minds.

I thought Albert Schweitzer's son would be different.

Goodness. I'd just love to push

all three of them right into the sea.

I think

we should take special measures.

Special measures?

Ward 37, Lee Do-yoon...

It's you, right?

You have her looks.

Who are you?

"Song Eun-jae."

It is you.

You're the niece of the owner of the guesthouse.

Your mom told us a lot about you.

-I have a pain right-- -Sir.

Come with me.

Okay, let's go.

Oh my.

MY DAUGHTER EUN-JAE

It's the Grim Reaper. You're done for.

-What should I do? -What else?

Answer it.

I don't know what to say.

-You take it, Mi-jeong. -No way.

She nags enough in one call to last five centuries.

Go on. Answer it.

Hi, Eun-jae. It's Mom.

It's the fifth time.

I know.

And it's the third time this month.

I know that.

When will you stop?

-Eun-jae-- -Will you stop when I die?

Don't say that.

How can you talk about dying to your own mother?

Why are you scolding me? What gives you the right to scold me?

Well, I was...

I'm sorry. It was my mistake.

I'm sorry, Eun-jae.

This is the last time.

If you send me a patient again,

you will never see me again.

-Keep that in mind. -All right--

Did you eat dinner?

You're not skipping meals, are you?

How do you sleep?

You're sleeping well too, right?

Hello?

Hello? Eun-jae?

Gosh. She hung up.

Of course she did.

She's ten times colder than the Siberian weather.

Did you expect her to stay on the phone?

Eun-jae may be cold on the outside,

but she has a warm heart.

Look at you siding with her.

She will treat the patient. She said she will.

Why would you brag so much about Eun-jae

when you know she's busy?

Because I'm lonely.

I feel sad thinking about

my pathetic, insignificant, and boring life.

My husband committed

bank fraud and went missing.

Everything in our house was seized, and I ended up on the streets.

And for six years since that day, I've been asking my daughter

to pay for my rent, living expenses, and even her sister's tuition fees.

I'm her mother, but I'm living off of her without any plans.

I'm living a shameful life,

making no money.

Now I'm living in my sister's house and walking on eggshells.

I'm a fool.

That's not true, Hye-jeong.

Mi-jeong.

I just...

I want to brag about Eun-jae every chance I get.

I know it makes things harder for her,

but I want to keep sending patients to her.

People on this island compliment Eun-jae

after visiting her in Seoul.

They say she's the greatest doctor they've ever seen,

and they're jealous of me for having a daughter like her.

Hearing those things...

makes me happy. I really like hearing them.

When I hear those things,

I feel like...

my life hasn't been a complete failure.

That's why.

Hye-jeong.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

Yes, Chief Kim.

Okay.

There you are.

Is she the one?

This is Chairman Jang of Doosung Group.

This is Dr. Song Eun-jae.

She's the best surgeon in our hospital.

It's a pleasure to meet you,

and thank you.

I heard

you acted very quickly

when the accident happened.

I couldn't have done it without Professor Kim's teaching.

I hope we can stay close.

I like competent people.

And I like humble people even more.

I actually like her looks.

You must attract quite a lot of guys.

Watch your mouth.

She saved your life when you were hanging in the balance,

and you're already acting smug.

Please understand, Doctor.

Don't worry. It's fine.

We'll get going now.

Eun-jae, you're quite useful in many ways.

You're competent and good at reading people.

I feel reassured to have a pupil like you.

You flatter me.

The director is in a good mood too.

Doosung Group said they will increase their donations.

Is there anything you want?

You can tell me.

It seems like the director wants to give you something.

If it's okay,

I have a patient who has liver cancer.

Is it a patient from that island again?

Yes.

Did you get him admitted? What's his name?

It's Jang Man-bok, Professor.

This is Kim Do-hun.

Move Mr. Jang Man-bok to a two-person room,

and schedule his surgery as soon as possible.

Who will do his surgery? You or me?

Dr. Song Eun-jae will lead the surgery.

If she has too many patients, I'll do the surgery.

Thank you, Professor.

Don't mention it. This time it is a reward, so enjoy it.

Your mother is such a selfless person.

I admire her.

But I think she should stop doing this now.

She should consider your position too.

Aren't you going to become the chief surgeon after me?

For that,

you need to be careful with your reputation here too.

You know what I mean, right?

Yes, I understand, Professor.

What are you doing out here?

I'm making beef bone soup.

Goodness.

What's wrong?

My chest feels tight. Maybe it's indigestion.

Again?

You have it quite often.

Did you take a digestive medicine?

I ran out of it.

What should we do?

It will probably go away soon.

This island feels pathetic at times like this.

People have even traveled to the moon and Mars.

How do we not have a pharmacy here,

let alone a hospital?

Hye-jeong, I think you should go to the hospital tomorrow.

It's just indigestion. I don't need to go to a hospital.

I don't have money for that.

I meant the hospital ship. It will be here tomorrow.

Hospital ship?

That's right. I think I've seen it a few times.

That's free, right?

I just need some digestive medicine.

They must have loads of it, right?

Are you happy now?

Yes.

Gosh, your daughter is a doctor. Why are you happy about that?

-Please come this way. -Hello.

What brought you here today?

I often have indigestion.

My chest also feels tight.

WOMAN POWER 2.0

"Surgeon Dr. Song Eun-jae"?

You're here.

"Miracle hands that brought a stopped heart to life."

Do you want her here?

I wouldn't even dream of it.

A doctor like her would never work on a hospital ship.

If you can't hire her, make an appointment.

Do you feel unwell?

Those three doctors get up to no good every day.

My heart, liver, and stomach feel like they are going to explode.

She's pretty too. Her parents are lucky.

What should one eat to have a daughter like her?

-We're done. -Okay.

I'll give you something for indigestion and acid reflux.

Please give a lot.

I'll give you enough for a week.

I think you should also get a thorough examination

of your heart.

Did the tests show something?

I can't tell with just the electrocardiogram.

Make sure to get tested just in case.

Heart problems can cause symptoms

like upper abdominal tightness that feel like indigestion.

Now that I look at you,

you're quite handsome.

You look nice too.

I hope

my daughter meets someone like you.

You have a daughter?

She's very pretty and smart.

Do you want a look?

Here you go.

What do you think?

Isn't she pretty?

Incredible.

Set me up with her right now.

She might be too much to handle.

She's really fussy and...

And?

She grinds her teeth in her sleep.

Does she snore?

Loud enough to blow off the roof.

Are you scared?

A bit.

I guess you should give up.

No, I should overcome it

for love.

That sounds so nice.

Pardon?

That sounded really nice.

You're right.

It's for love after all.

That's how love should be.

Ms. Oh Hye-jeong, your medicine is ready.

My medicine is ready. Thank you, Doctor.

I'll decide by my next visit whether or not to set you up.

Bye.

The photo.

I'll give it back next time.

She does look pretty

but a bit mean.

Go see her tomorrow.

I'll take the medicine first.

You might as well take the plunge.

Go to Eun-jae's hospital,

and get checked from head to toe.

Don't wait until you're too sick.

I'll pack some marinated crabs.

Our soy sauce kimchi tastes perfect right now.

It's Eun-jae's favorite.

Go and cook for her for the first time in a while.

Shall I?

Yes.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

I heard you got called at 1 a.m.

to replace the chief.

You took over his long 17-hour shift.

What incredible loyalty.

You haven't even eaten yet?

You seem to think this is unusual.

Maybe I should make you do a few harder surgeries.

Right.

Are you not good enough yet?

Code Blue.

Ward 187, surgery,

adult, Code Blue.

Code Blue.

Ward 187, surgery,

adult, Code Blue.

What's going on?

I got a Code Blue from this room.

Doctor, that was...

It was my idea. I wanted to see you.

You don't feel pain anywhere, right?

I do feel pain.

From head to toe, my whole body aches.

Lie down.

You're hard to reach.

I called your phone, your staff, and even your operating room,

but I still couldn't get through to you.

You seem to be in good spirits. Goodbye.

Wait.

What's this?

The price for saving my life. My old man left it.

No, thank you.

Consider it compensation and keep it.

The hospital pays me for my work.

Then consider it your pay.

You can settle your bill on the first floor.

Gosh, you are totally my type.

Let's talk. If you walk out,

I'll press this again.

This is Song Eun-jae.

Transfer Mr. Jang Seong-ho to the psychiatric ward.

Mom?

Yes, it's me. I'm in Seoul.

Why? Is something wrong?

Eun-jae.

I'm really sorry, but...

Did you

bring more patients from the island?

Yes, I did, but that patient is...

Are you the president of that island?

Why are you so meddlesome?

Eun-jae.

Won't you let me finish?

Take the patient home. I've had enough.

My professor is already giving me a hard time about it.

I have a life, too, mom. Do you ever think about that?

What a brat.

She's so mean.

Gosh, it must be so dry.

Buy a carton of milk, at least.

That was awesome.

It was like a magic trick.

It was absolutely perfect. What a perfect day.

Let's eat out tonight.

I can't pay though.

That new skill worked out perfectly,

reducing surgery time by over 30 minutes.

We can't go without celebrating.

It's a yes, right?

Come on, Dr. Song. Okay?

-Okay. -Yes.

I'll make the reservations.

-Grilled pork belly and soju? -Deal.

Eun-jae! Your mom is dying!

Your mom is dying!

What should I do, Eun-jae?

Put your phone on speaker.

Did you call the Coast Guard? Good.

Listen to me carefully.

Do as I say.

There should be a hard bone between her breasts. Do you feel it?

Darn it.

Okay.

Press one hand over the other. Do it hard.

You have to press down at least five centimeters.

Hye-jeong.

Wake up, Hye-jeong.

Don't cry. You're doing well.

Eun-jae, the Coast Guard is here.

I see them.

Pay me for saving your life.

Make a call.

-Dr. Song? -You heard me!

Make a call right now!

-Who are you? -Inject the epinephrine.

What are you doing in our hospital?

Are you trying to kill the patient?

Inject it right now.

-Lady. -There's no time to waste.

You heard me!

What do you think you're doing?

She's my mom!

She's my mom.

Charge to 150.

Charging.

Clear.

Charge to 150. Clear.

Charge to 200. Clear.

Charge to 200. Clear.

Charge.

Charge!

-I'd done this all the time. -Clear.

It came to me more naturally than breathing.

That's why...

That's why for a short while,

I forgot that I was treating...

my own mom.

I'd forgotten.

-Time of death, 19:05. -Don't.

You don't need to announce the time of death.

Eun-jae.

I'm really sorry but...

Did you bring more patients from the island?

Yes, I did, but that patient is...

That day,

the patient who had visited was

my own mother.

If I had listened a little more...

If I had let her finish what she was saying,

maybe I could have done

more for her.

But...

But all I did for her as a doctor was...

pronouncing her time of death.

I was

unable to cry when she died.

SONG EUN-JAE

I thought...

I didn't even have the right to cry.

Poor Jun-yeong.

Are you done?

Cruise ship, my foot.

Oh my gosh! Goodness.

Tell me before you stick it in.

Yes, ma'am.

Goodness. He's trying to hurt me.

Doctor, just so the patient can get ready,

warn them that it will sting a bit.

Would it hurt less if I warn her?

Let's move on to the next patient.

BETTER DIET AND EXERCISE RECOMMENDED

A tooth extraction?

Freeze.

That patient is taking medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure,

and hyperlipidemia.

Aspirin is an antithrombotic.

What would happen

if you extract a tooth when he's taking those medicine?

It would be difficult to stop the bleeding.

Don't you know that we barely avoided a medical accident?

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly due to motion sickness.

Don't use that as an excuse.

This isn't your first mistake this month.

Doctor!

-Doctor! -It hurts.

-Doctor! -It hurts.

Doctor!

There we go.

He said his stomach hurt since yesterday.

Now he's writhing in pain.

What's your name?

His name is Seo U-jin.

Let's take a look at your stomach, U-jin.

His appendix?

What's going on, Doctor?

It's acute appendicitis.

Is it bad?

The diameter is close to two centimeters. He has a high fever.

Call the EMS helicopter. He needs surgery as soon as possible.

What's going on?

What's happening to my grandson?

Sir, everything will be okay.

When the Coast Guard comes, it will be fine.

What do we do now?

The wind is too strong

for the helicopter to take off.

What do you mean?

There's no time. He must have the surgery immediately. Otherwise--

Then what will happen?

Will he die if he can't get surgery?

Are you saying he'll die?

Sir...

Do something!

-Please calm down. It'll be okay. -The surgery...

Can't you do the surgery, Doctor?

What are you doing?

-Please, sir. -Do something.

Sir, he's an internal medicine doctor.

An internal medicine doctor can't perform a surgery.

How about you?

What about you, Doctor?

Then what do we do?

Are you telling me you can't do anything

when there are so many doctors here?

No.

-How-- -The operation is possible.

What are you doing? Who are you?

I was just assigned to the post.

I'll be working here on the hospital ship from now on.

I'm Song Eun-jae and I'm a surgeon.

We may lose the patient if we don't finish in 30 minutes.

What's the worst a doctor can do?

I heard she killed a patient.

To make her comeback with pride,

she chose a place that would get her attention.

He could also die if you recklessly operate on him in a dangerous situation.

So you just call it unscientific if you don't fully understand it?

Choose now. Will you let the patient die like this,

or will you let me be in charge of saving the patient?
