Original subtitles

A building collapsed at a demolition site

in Daehyeon-dong, Busan, today.

Here's a list of the injured.

Park Yong-jae, a 35-year-old welder.

Oh Hui-jung, a 42-year-old laborer.

Song U-jae, a 28-year-old student.

Jang Seong-nam, a 45-year-old laborer.

-What's the current situation? -What happened?

-How's the patient? -Honey!

-Are you okay? -Move out of the way!

We have an urgent patient.

-We have another patient. -Please make way.

I got a call. I'm looking for Song U-jae.

Are you his guardian? Ask someone over there.

U-JAE

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

U-JAE

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

Please hurry, sir.

Please hurry.

Did you starve?

Since lunch.

Eat quickly, and let's go.

They're looking for you in the ER.

Milk.

I feel so much better now.

How do you know my sister?

I told you. We work together.

You like her, don't you?

-Sorry. -Gosh.

You must really do.

Are you crazy?

How can you like someone like her?

I know, right?

I like you.

Thank you.

No need to be polite.

From now on, I'll call you

my brother-in-law, Hyeon.

Brother-in-law?

Hyeon.

Well, yes?

Gosh, don't be polite.

Okay, then. Sure.

Do me a favor.

Don't tell Eun-jae about what happened today.

Why?

She'll get worried over nothing.

I wasn't even hurt too badly.

You'll be mentioned on the news.

Eun-jae doesn't watch the news.

She cares about nothing but surgeries.

I thought you like her. You don't even know that?

-Can you hear me? -Oh no.

-Are you conscious? Sir, are you okay? -Sir?

-Can you hear me? -Wake up.

-Please wake up. -Sir.

Doctor, do something.

Nurse.

My poor baby. Doctor.

What happened?

-I think-- -She didn't see us, did she?

U-jae, you should sit up.

I am not sitting up.

You should hide too, Hyeon.

Song U-jae.

What are you saying?

Stop right there.

Would you if you were me?

What are you doing?

Do as she says.

You traitor.

You're no longer my brother-in-law if you keep this up.

Will you stop this nonsense? Come with me.

Come here.

Sit.

Working part-time?

What about college? You're doing a construction gig?

To make money.

Do you think I went to just hang out?

I give you an allowance.

You told me I'm on my own.

So why did you beg me for more money?

I wired you 300,000 won...

Did you...

Look at me.

Look at me.

I'm right, aren't I?

Is it Dad?

You met him?

When? When did he come back?

Two months ago.

That long ago?

Did he take your allowance this whole time?

He didn't take it. I gave it to him.

Just your allowance?

Did you enroll this semester?

You didn't even enroll?

He took his son's tuition money too?

No, Dad said

he had something to take care of. That's why I gave--

Do you believe that?

-He has lied to us-- -More than once, I know.

I know he's lied to us countless times.

Then why?

I wanted to fall for it.

He's still...

He's still our dad.

-What's that for? -I heard you paid his medical bills.

This should pay for gas. I added some extra too.

What I can't pay back in money,

as in the stress and time you wasted,

I'll make up for it in another way.

No.

This is enough.

If we were to go into such detail,

I owe you much more.

This is all I need.

-I'd like to drive you, but-- -I'll take a taxi.

Okay. Take care.

Gosh.

I told you not to follow me here. Goodness.

No, stop it.

You can't do this with one arm. Stay still.

The other side.

Why are you alone?

Dr. Song didn't come home, so I thought you'd be with her.

Pour me one.

Stay here just for tonight,

and then go to our aunt's for the time being.

I don't get along with her,

but you do.

Why aren't you answering?

You don't want to?

You look like Mom.

Seeing you like that

reminds me of Mom.

Once you try the porridge I made,

you'll regret saying that.

You seem to be suffering.

Is it because of Dr. Song?

I can understand. No, I mean...

it's okay to suffer.

Dr. Song is

a cool woman.

Even as a woman,

I can see she has an irresistible charm.

She's beautiful, talented, and charismatic.

On top of that, she's pure and honest.

If it's for an amazing woman like her,

then it's worthwhile to suffer.

But guess what, Hyeon.

You're just as amazing as Dr. Song.

No.

You're more amazing than her.

Dr. Song will...

realize that soon.

Or she might already know.

It hasn't been long since she lost her mom.

-She needs some time. -This isn't like you.

If you have something to say, just say it.

I lost.

I'm quite a qualified woman myself,

but I can't compare to Dr. Song.

She's so amazing that I can't keep up with her.

More importantly, you...

Now,

you like

Dr. Song more

than me.

I officially grant you my permission.

You can love Dr. Song

as much as you want, but...

give me two years.

Can you wait for two years?

Two years later,

-after I leave-- -Yeong-eun.

Only when...

I've disappeared from this world,

then...

you can love Dr. Song as much as you want.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I've been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

I guess

I'm going to die, Hyeon.

Are you asleep?

I should be.

You should eat better.

I can see you've lost weight.

Mind your own business.

-U-jae. -Yes?

From now on, if Dad contacts you,

you must tell me, okay?

-Why aren't you answering? -Okay, I heard you.

By the way, you know

that internal medicine doctor?

Yes.

He seems nice.

Sure.

But why are you so cold to him?

What do you mean?

You acted like it was some transaction at the market.

You paid him immediately without thanking him first. Gosh.

You should treat him better.

He seems

to like you.

Stop spewing nonsense and go to sleep.

You like him too, don't you?

Am I wrong?

Why aren't you answering? Do you like him or not?

It doesn't matter

whether I like him or not.

Of course it does. You should really date him.

You've never even experienced true love at this age.

That's no way to live your life.

U-jae, did you know?

Mom...

dated Dad when she was 20.

And they loved each other passionately.

-So you know. -Gosh.

I know more about it than you do.

Yet look at how their passionate love turned out.

Mom...

passed away before he could even say goodbye.

Do you still want to fall in love after hearing that?

I've been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

I guess I'm going to die, Hyeon.

GEOJE 505

-Hey. -Stay still.

Are you giving up?

-Goodness. -It's too heavy.

What? I can't hear you.

Have some coffee.

-Oh my. -Thank you.

-It looks good. -Gosh.

Doctor. Did you come from the hospital?

How is your brother?

How do we know?

-How? -Why wouldn't we?

The hospital ship and dormitory were

bombarded with phone calls.

I'm sorry about that.

It's nothing to be sorry about.

How is your brother?

Thankfully, it's only a minor injury. He was discharged last night.

Is that so? I'm glad to hear that.

Now that everyone is here, shall we get sailing?

But Ms. Choi isn't here yet.

Ms. Choi won't join us today.

She has to be at the hospital for a few days.

For how many days?

Is she sick?

I guess so.

Here's your coffee.

"Leukemia"?

Isn't that a cancer of the blood and bone marrow?

Why are you researching it in such depth?

-Does someone have it? -No.

I just wanted to look up something.

PREPARATION FOR TEST

Shall we start?

Is it necessary to do it again?

It's the most awful type of leukemia.

It's difficult to treat even with chemotherapy.

We must consider hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

But currently, we have no matching donors.

Let's try to find other solutions.

Aren't you Yeong-eun?

I wasn't sure, but it really is you.

What brings you here?

I'm here to get a checkup.

You get a disease or two when you get old.

What about you? Why are you here?

Are you sick or something?

No. Yes. I mean...

Are you sick or are you not?

I should get going. I'm a little busy.

She didn't even greet me properly.

She just sees me as her ex-boyfriend's mother.

What a rude girl.

All right. It's all done.

Please chew with the other side of your mouth for a day,

and avoid eating something too cold or too hot.

All right.

-What about the medicine for my gums? -Please wait outside for it.

-Thanks. -Sure.

I'm hungry. I want my lunch, please.

-There is no food. -What do you mean?

The microwave broke down, so she couldn't make any food.

Then is that what we're eating today?

Do you want some? It's tasty.

No. I'm so sick of instant noodles.

Fine then. Just starve.

You should be grateful we still have these.

-Darn it. -Stop whining.

It's not like you haven't eaten anything for days.

Captain Ma is leaving.

-Okay. Are you done? -Yes.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

What's that?

You can't work properly if you eat that kind of food.

Do you want to eat seafood pancake?

-Seafood pancake? -On Jisim Island,

my brother runs a restaurant.

He makes the best seafood pancake in the country.

You gave me such thorough treatment

that my teeth don't hurt at all now.

I feel so much better.

I will treat you all to show my gratitude.

Would ten pancakes be enough?

But Jisim Island is quite far from here.

It only takes 15 minutes by my boat.

I'll go and bring it before the afternoon shift begins.

I'll go with him.

Some makgeolli would be...

bad, right?

It'd be bad, of course. I know.

No makgeolli, then.

Yes!

Seafood pancake!

Hello, this is the hospital ship.

What?

Call the doctors.

Dr. Song! Dr. Kwak!

There's a patient who can't breathe!

-What's going on? -I'm not sure.

I'm listening. Where are you right now?

He was eating lunch.

I think something is stuck in his throat.

Dad!

Ma'am.

His face is turning blue.

My dad's face is...

I think it's airway obstruction.

My goodness.

Ma'am, please stay calm

and put the phone on speaker.

Okay.

HOSPITAL SHIP EMERGENCY CONTACT

Dad.

Dad...

I have called the Coast Guard.

The golden time for airway obstruction is only four minutes.

I'd get there faster.

No, there's someone who can get there faster.

There's someone faster?

Look at the color of the sea.

What a fantastic view.

Hi, Hyeon. What's up?

Are you on Jisim Island right now?

Yes. Why do you sound so serious?

The patient's life is in your hands now.

What did you say?

Dad, please get up.

Place a fist on the pit of his stomach

and cover it with your other hand.

Okay.

Pull them hard up to his heart.

-It's not working. -Try again.

Please, Jun-yeong.

Please hurry.

It's not working.

What do I do?

Is my dad going to die like this?

Listen to me carefully.

A doctor is on his way to your house,

but the only person who can save your father right now is

you, ma'am.

I can't. I can't do it.

-Dad... -You can do it.

Pull yourself together. You have to save your father. Come on.

Dad.

-Dad. -Where is he?

Dad.

What happened?

Jun-yeong, do the Heimlich maneuver.

Do it now.

A FIRST AID METHOD FOR AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION

Dad.

-Please move. -Okay.

-Get the other side. -Okay.

It's not working. I think it's too late.

Try the Heimlich maneuver one last time,

and perform CPR if it doesn't work.

No...

-Dad! -Lay him down.

Jun-yeong, answer me.

Speak. What happened?

Dad.

Dr. Cha can't talk right now.

Why not? What happened to the patient?

Dad, you're alive.

Oh my gosh. Dad.

Luckily, the patient is okay now.

But...

Dr. Cha seems to be unconscious.

He's unconscious?

I saved

a patient with these hands.

If I hadn't arrived in time...

It's okay.

Stop crying.

Everything turned out well.

What's all this?

Aren't these Ms. Choi's things?

She won't be working here anymore.

She said she'll send someone to get her things.

She has working arms and legs. Can't she take them herself?

Why did she ask you to do that?

-That's odd. -What is?

Could it be...

No, surely not.

Could it be what?

Do you think

Ms. Choi has leukemia?

Leukemia?

What nonsense is that?

Then why else would Dr. Kwak be looking it up

whenever he's free?

It started exactly the day Ms. Choi went to the hospital.

All of this is so strange too.

She forced her way into our dorm,

but now, she's suddenly moving out.

Since you put it like that, I guess you have a point.

Hello?

She refused the test?

I sent her home the first time, thinking she was just too anxious.

You gave me your medical opinion that day.

That was based on the records she'd brought.

Gosh. I need to test her to set up a treatment plan.

Unless it's a transplant, chemotherapy is her best bet.

Let me try calling her.

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

Hello? Yeong-eun?

It's U-jae.

Dr. Song.

Don't tell my sister for now.

-What is it? -It's nothing.

Where are you going? It's the weekend.

To work in the emergency room.

Take care.

-Hello. -Where are you?

-Just leaving my dorm. -Shall we have lunch?

I have an emergency room shift.

I took care of that. I sent a car over, so take that here.

This way.

Must I take a boat too?

It's not that far. It'll only take ten minutes.

We get off here.

Hello. We have arrived.

Does your dad really have cancer?

-I think so. -How do you know?

Here's the written diagnosis he got in China.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION REPORT

It's a mix of Chinese and English, so I don't know for sure,

but doesn't that say

that he has cancer?

Is it bad?

Where is he right now?

How bad is it?

You're late.

What are you doing here, Dr. Kim?

Did you forget I'm his son?

It's a family gathering.

And you are our guest.

Feeling the pressure?

The next step might make you feel worse.

Come along.

Dad.

You're here.

Hello.

Dr. Song, come join me.

-Jae-geol, excuse us. -Okay.

What did I say? I said you'd feel worse.

Good luck.

Have you

ever tried fishing before?

It's my first time.

You should try it from now on.

It's a perfect hobby for surgeons like us.

It's good to zone out

and think about nothing every now and then.

You can't do that yet, can you?

No.

Did you know that this used to be a deserted island?

No, I didn't know.

A fisherman discovered it when he was

trying to take shelter from a storm.

The storm was a crisis to the fisherman,

but he cared for the island and made it what it is now.

It turned out to be

a great opportunity.

I think...

you are like this island to my family.

My wife's life was met with a storm,

and you provided the perfect shelter.

-No, I only-- -Now it's our turn.

Like how the fisherman tended to this island,

it's our turn to look after you and support you.

Okay.

Let's go. Lunch is ready.

We could have eaten out,

but I wanted to serve you a home-cooked meal

so I asked the owners to lend me their space.

We're good friends with the family who owns it.

I see.

Please dig in.

I hope you like my cooking.

Mom, you know how good of a cook you are.

I'm an intellectual,

and an intellectual must be humble.

Ignore her and eat.

You'll starve trying to keep up with her chatting.

How could you?

-He's not answering? -No.

Keep trying.

HEO JEONG-RIM

-Hello? -I see you called.

Yes. To ask if you know where Yeong-eun is.

She's at my house.

Can you put her on?

She just went out.

She must be feeling okay, then.

Yes. She doesn't look too bad.

What's going on though?

Did you two get back together?

Call me when she comes back.

If she won't, you can.

Thanks. Bye.

Is he still not answering?

He used to at least answer my calls.

What if

he's passed out somewhere? What if that's why he won't answer?

Gosh.

Don't assume the worst yet.

You said you got him the phone, right?

-Yes. -In whose name?

Mine, just in case.

Track its location now.

If it's in your name, you can trace it.

You're right. I can.

LOCATE MY DEVICE

GEOJE MEMORIAL HOUSE

-This is... -Do you know where that is?

Yes.

Hyeon, you have a car, right?

-Try this as well. -Thank you.

Come on. Eat up.

You're too thin.

I am.

-Sorry, it's the hospital. -Take it.

Dr. Kang?

Okay.

What is it?

They need me at the ER.

I got Dr. Kang to replace you.

He can't work. He has acute gastroenteritis.

SYMPTOMS ARE VOMITING AND DIARRHEA

-Okay, you should go. -Oh dear.

You couldn't even finish your meal.

Take her there.

-Yes. Drive safely. -Okay.

Goodbye.

Get in.

Put on your seatbelt.

Or I'll help if you want some romance.

GEOJE MEMORIAL HOUSE

Dad.

Dad.

-Sir. -Dad.

Dad, wake up. What's wrong with you?

Is he okay, Hyeon?

Wake up, Dad.

Did you enjoy fishing?

I don't know.

My dad doesn't fish with just anyone.

He chooses his partners with great care.

What are the criteria?

Family or comrades.

I'm neither.

I think you're both.

It looks like my dad wants you

to be his family and comrade.

Shall we get married?

We need someone to inherit the hospital.

I can't, since I'm a Korean medicine doctor.

I think he wants to leave it to you...

as his daughter-in-law.

Are you interested?

Let's do it.

Just that easily?

Why should it be hard? I get a hospital.

I guess you don't like me.

No, I do like you.

I guess you really don't like me.

If you got that, focus on driving.

What about Hyeon? Do you like him?

No, that's...

This is interesting.

This is an even more motivating situation.

I like it when it's complicated.

Especially when the woman is tough.

Dad.

Dad.

-Dad. -U-jae.

-Eun-jae! -He needs to get inside.

His temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius, and his vitals are unstable.

Did he just call you "sis"?

Is he your brother?

Who's the patient?

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

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

Hook him up to the monitor.

Sir, wake up. Do you know where you are?

Sir? Let me see.

He's badly jaundiced.

Check his temperature. It is 38.5 degrees Celsius.

Get the ultrasound and call for a CT.

-Okay. -Let's see why he's jaundiced.

-Doctor, look at this. -What is it?

It's his written diagnosis from China.

According to this, he has cholangiocarcinoma.

What?

Then the jaundice and septicemia are all

because the tumor blocked his biliary tract?

Dr. Song, did you know about this?

Eun-jae, what should we do?

What will happen to our dad now?

Wait here, U-jae.

-Dad. -This is serious.

Doctor.

Dr. Song.

It's a cardiac arrest. Get the defibrillator.

-Dad. -Get him out.

-Dad, no! Dad! -Now!

What's going on?

Dad.

U-jae, it's okay.

Charge to 200.

Clear. Get back!

Shoot.

Charge to 300.

Clear. Get back. Shoot.

Get the ultrasound.

-Dr. Song. -A fever and jaundice are

signs of acute biliary tract infection.

We must check and do a PTBD.

-You're doing it yourself? -Yes.

You don't have to.

We can get a radiologist to do it.

If we don't do it now, all his organs will fail.

-Nurse. -Okay.

What's going on?

They're inserting a drain into the biliary tract.

It's her father though. Is she doing it herself?

The infection is caused by a tumor that clogged the biliary tract.

We'll insert a drain into this area

to remove the excess bile.

That would treat the septicemia.

He's your father. Can you really do it yourself?

Let's start.

Eun-jae.

Go inside.

Dr. Song, I got a call from the operating room.

There's an emergency surgery for appendicitis.

-I'll go upstairs now. -Okay.

Wait...

Can't she take a break from surgeries on a day like this?

Can't they call someone else?

-Of course we can. -Then why?

She herself wants to.

She said it herself.

I'm leaving.

Dad?

Are you awake?

Yes.

Gosh.

I really thought you were going to die.

Where am I?

We're at the hospital where Eun-jae works.

Good job.

Your father is awake.

His fever is gone, and the vitals are normal.

Not there. He's in the new building.

He's in the VIP room.

Though compared to big hospitals in Seoul,

it's hardly VIP.

That wasn't necessary.

Of course it is.

Think of all the lives you've saved here.

Among them is the wife of the hospital director.

You deserve the privilege. Don't feel burdened.

Just enjoy it.

Hyeon.

-Hey. -What are you doing here?

-I was looking everywhere for you. -Did you eat dinner?

I enjoyed it. Thank you.

Dad wants to see you for a minute.

He wants to see me?

Hello.

Hello.

U-jae told me

that you were

the one who saved my life.

No, I didn't do much.

Doctor.

How can I

ever repay you for this?

Don't say that.

You can speak casually with me, sir.

Goodness.

May I?

Please.

I asked to see you...

because I'd like to ask you

a favor

without letting Eun-jae know.

Since you saved my life,

could you...

help me out a bit more?

What do you mean?

Your father is much better now.

Thank you.

I signed up for ten different cancer insurance plans a month ago.

If I'm diagnosed with cancer 90 days

after the registration date,

I get paid 15 million won

from each of the ten plans.

Until then, there can't be

any records of diagnosis.

I don't understand what you mean.

The fact

that I was diagnosed with cancer at this hospital today

must be deleted.

Are you...

asking me to...

He's asking you to alter his chart.

Stay outside.

You can go now.

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Go now.
