Original subtitles

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.

It's not nonsense. It's being smart.

When

will you grow up?

What did you say?

When you have lived over 30 years

you must know how to be flexible.

Don't you agree, Doctor?

Was it an unreasonable favor to ask?

I only asked you to delete one tiny record without a fuss.

No one gets harmed in the process.

Only will I get 150 million--

Stop.

Haven't you conned people enough?

Was putting up our entire fortune and me as collateral to commit fraud not enough?

Now you're going to put up your own life?

It is...

It's an opportunity I made by using up all of U-jae's tuition fee.

Don't try to stop me.

Back off.

No way.

-This is the last chance. -There might be no more.

-I don't care! -Don't you know...

what it means?

Don't you know?

I do.

Still...

I don't care.

Eun-jae,

what's going on?

What is he saying?

Dad, are you crazy?

-Have a seat. -Are you out of your mind?

Don't cry.

Have a seat.

When I'm gone, you're the head of our family.

How are you going to protect your sister

if you are so weak?

I...

Don't...

Don't suppress yourself.

Be angry if you're angry.

Shout if you want to.

If you want to cry...

Cry all you want.

Why?

Why should I?

Why should I...

always show my vulnerability to you?

Because you are human.

You are...

not a machine, but a human being.

Let me share your pain.

Not all the time,

but when you are having a hard time like you are now.

No, thank you.

I don't need you.

Don't stick your nose into my business anymore.

Even when my brother calls you,

even when my father is about to die,

even when I'm dead,

just mind

your own damn business.

You've got to persuade your sister.

Persuade her and delete the records.

-That's nonsense. -Do it anyway.

You might end up dead.

I'll die even if I get the surgery.

I've done my research.

Even if I get the surgery,

the chance of survival is less than 20%.

Eight out of ten dies.

Who can guarantee I wouldn't be

in those eight?

We have Eun-jae. She'll take care of you.

Your sister

has done enough.

Because of me...

she has suffered enough

trying to pay off all my debts

for so many years.

Dad, we're almost done paying back the bank the money we borrowed.

I also borrowed some money from loan sharks.

What?

I wanted to make a comeback

so that I could pay off my debt

and compensate your sister for everything she did for me.

But the debt only snowballed.

Just my luck.

Song U-jae, listen to me carefully.

I may not have been a good one,

but I'm still

your father.

I have no fortune to leave,

but at least I should pay off the debts for my daughter.

Please help me do at least that before I die.

Please?

U-jae.

-Dr. Song, he fell from a height. -Do you know where you are?

-Doctor, take this. It's from the OR. -Yes, this is Song Eun-jae.

Yes. Okay.

Doc, a child with a stomachache. The temperature is 39.5 degrees.

-How long has it been? -Doctor, a TA patient...

Can you me feel touching you?

The vital signs of the TA patient you operated on is dropping. Go and check.

Okay.

Hello.

CHOI YEONG-EUN

-Where are you? -I left Geojae.

-What? -I rented a studio

to paint for a while.

What about your treatment?

I don't want to do it.

No, I won't do it.

What's wrong with you?

Because I'd look ugly with hair loss and all.

-Yeong-eun. -It won't make me better.

It's just going to buy me some time.

We need to buy time so we can find a donor.

No one can guarantee that.

I don't want to put my hopes in something that won't even work and waste my time.

I got nothing to live for anyway.

Hello?

The number you have dialed is not available...

Yeah, who is it?

How did you find me?

We need to talk.

Put something on. It's chilly outside.

I am so silly.

I know that the reason you came here

is not because you wanted to see me

or because you missed me.

I know that very well, but I'm still happy.

Just the fact that you came

makes me

really happy.

Get the treatment.

I don't want to.

-You always think only about yourself. -Because it's no use.

Think about those who will be sad when you die.

Will you...

be sad too?

When I'm gone,

will your heart be broken, too?

If you stay with me,

without looking at someone else...

If you stay with me...

If you promise to stay by my side,

I'll get the treatment.

You don't want to?

-Are you done? -Almost.

You stayed up all night working, didn't you?

What about you?

Let's get something to eat.

It's on me.

Eat.

Let's fix the chart.

Fix it and discharge him from the hospital.

Let him go his way.

We were doing fine without him.

No, actually,

he was as good as dead to us.

U-jae.

He wants to protect you.

Let him be a father one last time.

He wants to pay off the debt.

He said even though he may not be able to leave you anything,

he does not want to leave you a pile of debt.

I'm sorry, Eun-jae.

I know exactly what you think of Dad,

but I feel sorry for him.

I feel so sorry that it's driving me crazy.

Yes, Doctor.

I went over the test results you sent me.

It doesn't look good.

I don't think it's too bad for it to be inoperable.

Yeah, there's a chance,

but the surgery won't be easy for anyone.

Only the top three from hepatopancreaticobiliary can do it.

Kim Hyeong-gyu, Lee Seung-hun,

and you know who the last one is, right?

Yeah, I know.

If it was a bit simpler, I'd do it.

I'm sorry, Eun-jae.

You saved my father,

but I can't be of much help. I'm so sorry.

It's okay, you've done enough.

Yeah, thank you for saying that.

How come you came so early?

If your father was rushed to the ER,

would you be happy if the director didn't give a damn?

What does my father have anything to do with it?

What is Dr. Song doing?

I told her to go be with her father, but she won't listen to me.

She did surgeries all night and stayed in the ER.

And you call yourself her supervisor?

You incompetent fool. What are you doing?

Sorry, sir?

Hey, Dr. Song.

How's your father?

I was about to go and see him.

Can we talk for a second?

-Now? -Please.

All right, then.

You want me to approve the surgery?

-That's right. -Who will be the surgeon?

It will be me.

What are you talking about?

No surgeon should operate on their own family.

I know it's not illegal.

It's not a simple surgery either.

It's surgery for cholangiocarcinoma.

You must know how difficult it is better than I.

-I do know. -But how can you say you'll do it?

Forget it. Find another surgeon.

I've decided after doing enough research.

It's been a while since he's been diagnosed and most of all,

it's located on a difficult spot.

Even if the surgery is done by a skilled surgeon

the chances of success are less than 30%.

And you still want to do it yourself knowing all that?

Yes.

Why? Let me hear the reason first.

No one is capable of pulling it off.

Except for the top three from hepatopancreaticobiliary.

I can't believe how arrogant you are.

Are you saying you're one of those three?

Because those three can't,

I have to do it.

I need to save...

my father.

-Who are they? -Sorry?

Who are those top three?

Dr. Kim Hyeong-gyu from Seyeon is traveling overseas,

Dr. Lee Seung-hun from Gyeongsang

has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and is fighting against it.

And...

Why are you hesitating?

Who is the last one?

I asked who the last one was.

From Seoul Daehan Hospital,

Dr. Kim Do-hun.

And?

He won't do it.

How would you know?

You know the reason well.

I know nothing about it.

-Talk to him. -Director--

Go and see Kim Do-hun!

Kneel before him if necessary

and beg for your father's life.

I can't.

Why? Because of your pride?

Is it more important than your father's life?

Please excuse me.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

Gosh...

Hey, there's a thing called a bed.

-Hello, Chief Kim. -Did you just finish now?

-Anything to eat? -Let me order it.

Never mind. This will do for now.

-No, let me-- -Forget it.

I'd rather sleep than eat.

I'll take a nap after eating this.

Hello? Really?

Sir, we have a donor from Jinju Prison.

You take Dr. Kim Jae-hwan and remove it.

Contact Ms. An Se-hwa and prep her.

Yes, Doctor.

Hi, Su-gwon.

I can spare a minute.

Dr. Song Eun-jae's father?

He said "Dr. Song Eun-jae's father," right?

I wonder what's up.

Hey. Stop dawdling!

Too bad he has biliary tract cancer.

I'll send you the exam record--

-Don't. -Hey, Kim Do-hun!

Why do you care when she doesn't care a bit?

You don't know that. She does care.

If she did, she'd call me herself.

She can't.

Why?

You know why better than anyone.

All I know is

she pointed you out as a surgeon in Korea who's capable enough to

pull off a surgery as hard as this.

Did she really say that?

Yes.

Do you still not want to see the test results?

Let me. It looks heavy.

-What does it mean? -I talked to Dr. Go.

After the holiday,

-he'll plan your treatment. -What does it mean?

Does it mean you'll care about no one but me?

There is...

no one.

Will you...

be with me?

Hyeon.

But not as a man because it's impossible.

Only as a doctor.

I'll be there for you only as a doctor.

I don't care.

As long as you're with me

as a man or a doctor,

it doesn't matter to me at all.

PASSENGER TERMINAL

There are so many people and it's not even a weekend.

Do you have something going on in your life?

Maybe you found a girl you like?

-Is that true? -That's ridiculous.

Then how come you don't notice what day it is.

It's Chuseok, you silly.

-Captain! -Hi!

Hey!

You can get your car checked even in an area like this.

Isn't it amazing?

I think the fan belt is worn out. You should get it replaced.

What happens if I don't?

The car might stop while driving.

You almost had to push the car all the way.

You don't say!

It's good I had it checked beforehand.

Then they must be leaving to visit their family graves for Chuseok.

You are quick to realize that.

People still seem to have respect for their ancestors even these days,

seeing how they are visiting their ancestors' graves at Chuseok.

Yeah, isn't it touching?

-Yes, it's moving. -Moving, indeed.

Why the long face?

I think Ms. Choi and Dr. Kwak got back together.

-Really? Why do you say that? -I don't know.

But they looked like a real couple when I saw them in the parking lot.

-Really? -Yes, really!

-Is something wrong? -No, I'm fine.

Or do you have something to worry about?

I just have a headache.

I'm going to go rest for an hour.

You can rest two hours.

because it'll take longer to get to the island.

Let's see.

Oh, hot. Time to drop the ramen.

Ms. Choi, why don't you join us?

No, you guys go ahead.

The lesser the people, the more we can eat.

Her consideration is giving me goosebumps.

All right, let's eat.

-Hi, Jeong-rim. -Are you nuts?

How far are you going to take this?

Hey, Jeong-rim,

let me call you back where it's quiet.

Okay.

Hello, Jeong-rim?

What? Hyeon called you again?

How long will you keep on lying?

-Doesn't Hyeon still notice? -Not for now.

I know I can't keep going forever.

But I need to make sure he has come back to me for sure.

Before he finds out I don't have leukemia,

I need to make him come back to me.

Come in.

It's you who should hold an exhibition.

How can I help you?

It's chamomile.

Drink. It's good for your fatigue.

Thank you.

I should thank you.

Hyeon said he'll be by my side.

-Thank you for sending him back to me. -Ms. Choi--

I know what you're going to say.

That you didn't send him.

Correct.

Actually, you did.

Hyeon and I have been together for six years.

We know what each other is thinking just by making eye contact.

He used to have charm and warmth in his eyes when he looked at me.

But now he does that to somebody else.

I don't care.

I don't care if I have him without his heart for now.

-Ms. Choi Yeong-eun. -But not for any longer

because his heart will eventually belong to me.

-So-- -Is it why you lied to him

about being sick?

How rude.

What kind of person do you think I am?

Then would you mind me checking if there's a mark from the exam?

If you have acute myeloid leukemia,

there must be a mark around your pelvis.

Are you going to tell Hyeon?

You need to be more careful when you talk on the phone about your secret.

If you continue to be as clumsy as you were back then,

you'll end up telling him yourself.

Why are you doing this?

How much longer do you think

you can hold Dr. Kwak with that lie?

Don't you know it's all because of you?

Hyeon had always been on my side.

No matter how mean I was and how often I broke up with him,

he always took me back when I went to see him.

It'd have been the same if it weren't for you.

So, it's none of your business whether I deceive him or not.

Just keep your promise.

You said you didn't give a shit about love.

So, however hard he comes on to you,

I want you to stand by what you said about not budging.

Come out.

I know you're here, Nurse Pyo, so please come out.

What are you doing here?

As you can see, Nurse Pyo said there's a problem with the connection,

so I was checking.

-Did you hear? -I'm not that old for a hearing aid.

-Ignore it. -I think that's better, too.

If Ms. Choi holds Hyeon tightly,

it'd be easier for me to get closer to you, too.

-Starting today with nonsense, again? -No.

I'll be a messenger of truth.

What do you mean?

It looks like Hyeon and I ended up fighting for the same girl,

but I like to play fair.

Are you going to tell Dr. Kwak?

-Shouldn't I? -Don't.

-Why? -It's their problem

-and above all-- -Yes?

He might feel ashamed if he hears it from us.

It's a deception.

Isn't feeling ashamed better than

being deceived?

No.

Some people find being ashamed

more painful than anything else.

Are you one of them?

Is shame the thing you can't stand the most?

Is it why you're considering his feeling?

Okay.

I'll do as you say.

But I have a condition.

-What is it? -I haven't thought about it.

I'll tell you when I do.

See you.

Gosh.

This love triangle is seriously twisted.

Shall I go on, or not?

Okay.

If it's heads, I'll make a move on her.

If it is tails, I'll just stop.

Oh, okay, it's only a practice.

Oh, again with the practice.

Hey, make sure to cut off the weeds over there.

Hey, Son,

do it with your hands if the sickle isn't good enough.

-Damn it! -What?

How rude! Pick it up now!

Hire some people!

No one cuts the weeds themselves these days.

With perfectly well-functioning hands,

why do we need to hire anyone?

Dad, just tap a few times on the Internet,

and you can find lots of agencies for it.

The hell with the Internet. Does money grow on a tree?

You're constantly jobless

and sitting idle at home. Now asking for an agency for this?

Stop nagging.

If you don't like it, find yourself a job!

And get out of my house!

-What is it this time? -Bees!

-Bees. -Son, run!

Go, go!

Oh, shit!

Oh!

Dad!

Hello, 119.

-What's the emergency? -My father is hurt.

He was stung by bees

and running away from them...

-Where are you? -Gogae Island...

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

The caller isn't responding anymore.

We have no jurisdiction there. Call Coast Guard.

Okay.

-Sir. -Right.

Call a patrol ship and send them right away!

But there's a hospital ship at Go-gae Island.

Really?

Okay, we'll get on it right away, over.

We have emergency patients!

Go as fast as you can.

Gosh, they were only stung by a bee.

Is it worth calling 119 and the Coast Guard, not to mention even our ship?

-It's us who got stirred for nothing. -That's right.

Is it really dangerous to be stung by bees?

My question, exactly!

All you have to do is put soybean paste on it and it'll be fine.

What? Are we in the Stone Age?

It can be dangerous depending on a bee.

If it's a wasp, it's deadly. Right, Doctor Cha?

Yes. Worst case scenario, you could go into anaphylactic shock

-and die. -Die?

From being stung by a bee?

Wow, those bees are merciless these days.

Tell me about it.

They used to be pretty easygoing when we were young.

Come again?

Sir, wake up! Sir!

-Why is he like this? -Sir!

To try to protect him?

What's your name, sir?

Tae-uk... Tae-uk!

Let's flip them over.

-Okay. -Hurry.

Come on.

-What's your name? -Tae-uk...

-Sir! -Tae-uk!

The airway!

-Give him a shot of epinephrine first. -Yes, Doctor.

No spontaneous breathing.

I can't intubate because his larynx is all swelled up.

Okay.

Scalpel.

Are you cutting his throat here?

Tae-uk...

-Sir! -Sir!

It's a cardiac arrest. Take this.

-The defibrillator now! -Okay.

-Change with me! -Okay!

-Got it. -Okay.

-The Ambu bag, please. -Here.

Assessing heart rhythm. Do not touch the patient.

Stand clear of patient. Shock advised.

Stay away from the patient.

Move. Clear!

It's in now.

Good.

Stay away from the patient.

Hands off! Clear!

He has a pulse.

Dr. Song, he's waking up.

Sir, can you hear me?

-What's your name, sir? -Tae-uk...

-Sir-- -My son, Tae-uk.

Your son hasn't woken up yet--

What did you say?

-Sir, you need to rest-- -Where is he?

We'll observe him here and transfer them when ready.

Okay.

Tae-uk! My son, Tae-uk!

What is it? What's on his...

I had to cut his throat because his airway was closed due to severe swelling.

Why is he sick, while I'm okay?

Because he was protecting you by covering you with his body.

Come again?

-Let us take care of your son-- -Get off!

You crazy punk.

Who do you think you are, protecting me?

You should've run away from the bees.

Why did you...

follow me down the hill?

Tae-uk! Can you hear me?

What's wrong? Why can't he talk?

It's temporary.

When the cut is closed up, he'll speak again.

My goodness, I can't believe it.

Maybe you want these?

"Dad,

sorry for being a jerk."

When I get a job next year,

I'll gladly cut off the weeds.

Are you nuts?

Why are you talking about cutting weeds in this situation?

Yes, it's okay. Don't talk.

Tae-uk...

All right.

My baby.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Tae-uk.

I am sorry.

He wants to pay off the debt.

He said even though he may not be able to leave you anything,

he does not want to leave you a pile of debt.

I know exactly what you think of Dad,

but I feel sorry for him.

Get in!

I can take a bus.

Good, they are both here.

Shall I throw the bomb at them?

-Dr. Kim Jae-geol! -Then get in, that's my condition.

While your father is in the hospital, you ride along with me.

That won't be necessary.

U-jae, what's up?

I don't know what to do! Dad is insisting on being discharged.

-Let's go. -Wonder what changed your mind.

What the heck are you waiting for? Let's go now!

Hyeon, aren't we going?

-Dad. -What are you doing here?

I came with Dr. Song.

By the way, is her father in a bad condition?

He's insisting on being discharged.

"Discharged"?

Why? Isn't he too sick for that?

Look after them for a while.

It seems complicated.

Sure.

What are you doing?

-As you can see-- -You won't get any insurance money.

I've already reported you to the health service.

Eun-jae, why--

So don't try anything. Change back into the gown

and stay in bed like a good patient!

No.

I don't think so.

Just think that I'm dead.

You've lived well so far without me.

Dad.

I'm good now.

Before I die,

I thought I'd never hear you say "Dad."

No one dies here.

I won't let you!

-Eun-jae. -I will save you.

I will save you at all cost,

so you'd better not run away

but think about how you'll be a good dad from now on.

-Take it. -No, thank you.

I have money, too.

Eat a decent meal, not just ramen.

Buy him something he wants or whatever.

Okay?

We'll operate on the fracture after the swelling goes down.

Did he hurt his face, too?

A facial CT scan and an X-ray, please.

Okay, Doctor.

Well...

-Dr. Kang. -Oh, Dr. Song.

Can you change the shift for me?

-Why? Something wrong? -Please.

Hold on, let me check with Dr. Kim.

Are you going to Seoul?

-Yes. -Then go.

I haven't talked to Dr. Kim yet.

If there's no one, I'll do it. You just go.

Thank you.

You finish it up here.

Good, be ready.

I got you a ride from the hospital.

-It's too much. -Not all the way to Seoul,

-but to the airport. It's faster that way. -But--

Just take it. It's nothing compared to what you did for my wife.

And... it might not be easy

because of what happened between you two.

But I know Dr. Kim Do-hun well enough to say

he isn't a bad person.

I'm not sure if he's a good doctor,

but he's a skilled one for sure.

As a patient's daughter, ask him earnestly and respectfully.

Then he will make a wise decision as a doctor.

Okay.

I asked a secretary to book a ticket,

so that you can get it as soon as you get there.

Thank you for everything.

Thank me after your father recovers.

There's your car. Go on.

I could take her to the airport.

She's a woman of pride.

If a man tries to know every single thing about a woman,

she might feel ashamed and reject him

before anything begins.

"Ashamed"?

Yes. Why, is it odd?

Not really.

It seems like I'm getting a few lectures about shame today.

SEOUL DAEHAN HOSPITAL

We are so lucky today.

Right, we got the organ from the donor all right,

but when the helicopter wouldn't fly due to the wind.

I wanted to fly it myself. But--

Luckily, the wind calmed down right at the moment.

Exactly.

We should have a drink on a day like this.

I love you, Chief.

Dr. Song Eun-jae.

Long time no see.

How have you been?

Same as usual. What brings you here?

I have a favor to ask you.

"A favor"?

-It's about her father, isn't it? -Probably.

Would he say yes?

Why wouldn't he?

Of course, he wouldn't.

He was bitten by the one he nurtured.

No, what she did was tell the truth.

The hell with the truth!

The truth is welcomed by the world,

so why was she banished and sent to the hospital ship?

"Banished"? Hey, I love being there. Don't say it like it's such a bad thing.

Wow, you've grown up.

By the way,

is it too bad if she operates herself?

Are you being funny, or do you really not know?

However strong she might be,

she can't possibly be calm when she opens up her own dad.

It could definitely result in a disaster.

What if her dad ends up dead?

She will never hold a scalpel for the rest of her life.

What if she went there for nothing?

Yeah, that's possible.

Sure, I will do the surgery.

Your father's life is at stake.

I don't approve what you did to me, but it's the right thing to do.

-Thank you. -Oh dear.

I don't seem to have the time since my schedule is packed with surgeries.

I could take off a day or two

when I had someone as capable as you were.

But now I barely have time to eat.

-Professor-- -You'd better find another surgeon.

Please reconsider it.

I am sorry, but my hands are tied.

-Please. -You can go now.

Please, I'm begging you.

Please help me.

Please...

save my father.

Primary cancer from the biliary tract...

-The cancer has spread to... -Will you be all right

letting her perform the surgery herself?

How do you want to grow old?

Come and give the flowers to your brother.

I was angry and upset. It was unbearable.

When you wake up, it will be over.

Even if something goes wrong...

it's not your fault.

Thank you. You were upset, and you thought of me first.

I want to stay here at the Geoje hospital ship.
