-Hello. -Hello.

How have you been?

How is your mother?

Who are you?

Don't you remember me? I'm the physician from the hospital ship.

Do you know me?

-Ma'am. -Let go of me!

Doctor!

What's happening?

Geun-ja!

Good gracious!

What's going on?

Hey, Geun-ja, you--

Ma'am, who are you?

How do you know my name?

Oh, no! She has dementia.

You can't get sick when your mother is sick in bed!

-Oh, no! -Ma'am!

-Ma'am! -Geun-ja!

Change her and give her an IV. She is dehydrated.

Yes, Doctor.

-Is it an emergency? -Yes.

Her fever is 40 degrees Celsius, and her vitals are unstable.

She's been in and out of consciousness.

The symptoms showed abruptly, so it could be delirium.

Please hook her up to a monitor and recheck her vitals.

All right.

Dr. Kwak.

We might have to transfer her to ER, so please check with Coast Guard.

I already called them, and--

-And? -There was a collision

between a passenger boat and a fishing boat.

All coastal guards are at the scene, so they can't come here right away.

Captain said we will depart now, so just hold for another four hours--

All right. I will stabilize her as soon as possible.

Okay.

REHABILITATION CENTER

Yes, Ma'am.

Did Dad go missing again?

I can't go there right now because I'm on an island.

All right.

Please. Thank you.

Call me after you've searched for him.

-Please stop. -Please calm down.

-Good gracious! -Doctor.

-Our doctor's here. -Hold on one second.

Please try to pull yourself together.

What on earth is going on?

What will happen to her now?

I will tell you after I examine her.

What is the point of examining her?

There is no cure for dementia.

REHABILITATION CENTER

REHABILITATION CENTER

About dementia...

I'm pretty sure that it's not dementia.

What?

She couldn't recognize people,

spoke incoherently,

and even wet her pants.

How is it not dementia?

She was fine a week ago.

Dementia develops slowly. It doesn't show symptoms this abruptly.

Then what is it?

What is causing her to lose her mind?

The symptoms developed quickly, so it's probably not dementia,

but delirium.

De... What is that?

Delirium. Please explain it to her.

I will, Doctor.

Nurse Pyo will explain the details.

Stop worrying and get some rest in the waiting room.

Your friend is in good hands.

Are you saying she will return to herself then?

You're bringing her back, right?

I will do my best.

That's not enough!

Promise me.

Promise me that you will bring her to her senses!

There's...

There's something I want to...

No, no. There's something I have to tell her.

I really have to tell her.

So, please do whatever you can

to bring my friend back to me.

All right?

All right. I'll do my best.

This way. Nurse Pyo will--

Yes, I will explain everything to you.

Her vitals are still very unstable.

I gave her a fever reducer,

but her temperature is still over 40 degrees Celsius.

We have to find what is causing the fever.

What would it be?

Acute clouding of consciousness and high fever

might indicate cerebromeningitis.

Don't you have to check cerebrospinal fluid to be sure?

I'll try a simple test first.

Ma'am.

I want to go home.

Mom's waiting.

I'm going to lift your head.

Let's try it once more.

There's no Brudzinski sign.

If she has cerebromeningitis, her neck would be stiff.

Her neck is flexible.

Should we exclude the possibility of cerebromeningitis?

What is causing the fever then?

REHABILITATION CENTER

Dr. Kwak, it's yours.

She is going into cardiac arrest.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

I'll check her rhythm.

-Charge to 150. -Charging!

Three, two, one. Clear!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

One, two...

REHABILITATION CENTER

One, two, three...

Charge to 200!

Charging!

Three, two, one. Clear!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

REHABILITATION CENTER

-Charging! -Three, two, one. Clear!

She's back.

Someone's calling you.

I know.

It's the rehabilitation center.

REHABILITATION CENTER

REHABILITATION CENTER

Go and answer it.

She is stable now.

What if it's urgent?

-I will be here, so-- -Okay.

Please excuse me for a second.

Yes, Ma'am.

We searched everywhere, but we can't find your father.

We only found one shoe on the beach.

This is out of our hands now.

We want to report him missing, and we need his family member for that.

Go ahead and report him missing.

I will be there as soon as possible.

SON

Yes, Hyeon. It's me.

Father's missing.

He's nobody to me, I said.

Please, Mom.

My hands are all tied right now.

Our hospital ship is more than three hours away from Geoje,

and I also have an emergency patient.

A patient?

If I don't focus on diagnosing and treating her,

in the worst-case scenario, she might actually die.

So...

All right.

I got it. You just focus on your patient.

I will take care of it myself.

Don't worry

and just take care of your patients.

Got it, Hyeon?

Yes.

Please...

take care of Dad.

Where did he go?

Why does he keep tormenting our son?

Geun-hui, she...

She may look hard on the outside,

but she's actually a real softie on the inside.

Also,

she is such a good cook.

She would cook with whatever herbs she picked from the field,

but there was always something special about her dishes.

Come to think of it,

as soon as she got back here,

she didn't rest a day.

Every single day,

she went to the field and mountains to gather wild herbs...

Did you say wild herbs?

Yes.

Did she climb the mountains to pick wild herbs every day?

Yes.

Why do you ask?

What is going on?

I don't know.

I found it.

-I found the cause of her fever. -What is it?

She picked wild herbs in the mountains every day for the last two weeks.

It may be a fever caused by mite larvae during the fall.

-Is it-- -Scrub typhus?

For now, that's highly probable.

There must be eschar somewhere.

There must be flares near the site of the bite.

Found it.

It is scrub typhus, indeed.

-Let's do a blood test, first. -Yes, Doctor.

But there are no reagents on board.

Yes, there are.

Scrub typhus is endemic during fall, so I requested to stock the reagents.

Doctor, here's the result of her blood test.

How does it look?

It is scrub typhus.

If you asked for reagents,

I bet you also asked for medication.

She is lucky.

No, you are talented.

Nurse Yoo, orally administrate 200ml of doxycycline.

Yes, Doctor.

ANTIBIOTICS FOR INFECTIONS

Scrub typhus?

Yes, we administered antibiotics we have on board,

but she should get admitted for further treatment.

Then your friend will be back to herself.

She will definitely remember you.

She will be able to listen to what you have to say.

How can I express...

my gratitude?

How can I ever express how thankful I am?

She will be fine. Don't worry.

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS KWAK SEONG, SURGEON

He wandered around his whole life.

What a...

carefree life he has.

Did you find anything?

Are there any clues to find him?

Not yet so far.

Well, I don't know if this would help,

but he asked me to find something several days ago.

He said he had to go somewhere.

What did he ask you to find?

Kkok-ji? Kkak-ji? Something like that.

Maybe it's his dog or something.

Recently, he even sleep-talked.

"Kkak-ji, come here. Kkak-ji, you are a good girl.

-When I--" -"When I go back this time,

I will keep my promise.

Let's go to Kwak Ji's favorite island,

and blow soap bubbles all day long."

Ji-eun.

It is Kwak Ji, not Kkak-ji.

It's Kwak Ji, Mom.

No!

I don't want to be Ji-eun!

Stop crying! Stop at once!

I am not Ji-eun!

Come on, Ji-eun!

No! I don't like it!

Hey!

Dad is Kwak Seong,

my brother is Kwak Hyeon,

but why does my name have three syllables?

Stop this instance. It's not a thing to whine about.

I don't like the name!

I don't want to be Ji-eun!

-You don't have to be. -Daddy!

You don't have to be Ji-eun if you don't want to be.

-Kwak Ji. -Kwak Ji?

Yes, Kwak Ji.

Dad is Kwak Seong, your brother is Kwak Hyeon,

and you are Kwak Ji.

Congratulations. You are now Kwak Ji.

-Kwak Ji. -Look at you!

Kwak... Ji.

Do you think Dad went there?

To keep his promise with Kwak Ji?

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

You should go to your father.

-No, she is still-- -I'll do it.

You saved her, so I will protect her.

You should go to your father now.

You can go.

What are you doing here?

I'm waiting for my daughter.

Your daughter...

How old is she?

Six.

What is...

the name of your daughter?

Kwak Ji.

Kwak Ji.

Actually, it is Kwak Ji-eun,

but my daughter likes being called Kwak Ji.

What is this?

It's called a bubble gun. I bought these on my way here.

My daughter loves to blow bubbles.

Can I...

Can I try it?

Please be careful with it.

My daughter is very picky.

If you make any scratches on it,

she might try to eat you alive.

I'll be careful.

A bubble-shooting gun,

what an amazing product,

-isn't it? -It is.

I wish all guns in the world

would fire bubbles, then...

Dad wouldn't have had to go to the battlefields.

Did your dad...

go to a battlefield?

Yes.

Do you miss him?

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

Are you awake?

Where am I?

You're in the hospital.

Do you remember?

The doctor found you

and came running with you on his back.

Right.

He did.

I think he did.

Do you remember?

Do you remember everything clearly?

I can't believe this.

It seemed like she had dementia,

but she is back to normal.

So what? Are you complaining?

What are you talking about?

-Are you okay? -How can she be?

She can't even take care of herself. How foolish.

Look at her. Do you call that "okay"?

Right back at you.

Look at you. Are you any better?

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry, Chun-sun. -For what?

I haven't visited you even once

while you were sick.

Drop it already!

I... You know what, Chun-sun?

I was scared.

I was scared I would get hurt like you.

I was scared.

To be honest...

I...

I don't live in Seoul.

I don't live in Seoul.

I live on the west coast,

and I dive for a living like you guys.

It has been more than 20 years

since I got divorced.

I have a son who is completely out of control.

Right after I got divorced,

I got onto a divers' boat.

Because I had experience,

it wasn't hard for me

to be a diver again.

I worked hard to save money,

but my son used it all.

Now...

he wants to kick his grandma out

to a nursing home

and sell her house, saying she will die soon anyway.

In order to stop him,

I need to dive more frequently.

But what if I get hurt like you?

Geun-ja.

I mean... Geun-hui.

Geun-ja.

Just call me Geun-ja.

Changing my name doesn't change the fact that I'm a hillbilly.

I'm sorry.

Time to dive after a long while.

How long has it been since we dived together?

Thirty years! It's been thirty years!

Good. Let's do it.

-Are you ready? -I am!

Let's go! Here!

Is it that you don't intend to love me or...

you aren't interested in love at all?

Both.

I'm not interested in love,

and even if I was, I wouldn't fall for you.

How can you be so sure?

Tell me.

What made you so sure?

Do you want me to tell you?

Because you're in love with someone else.

Because you know who that person is,

you are sure that you wouldn't fall for me.

Who is it? Kwak Hyeon?

No. It's not.

How do you do it?

Do what?

Putting yourself in the right position.

-In a basketball game? -No, I'm talking about a woman.

A healthy man in his thirties

is crazy in love with a woman, but she wants to stay as colleagues.

How can you be so composed in such a situation?

Who says I'm composed?

I see.

Are you just holding on because there's nothing else you can do?

I'm not holding onto anything.

I'm just letting it go with the flow.

At least,

she doesn't feel uncomfortable about me hanging around.

What if that lasts forever?

I'm fine with that.

If not, I guess I will find another way.

If you just go with the flow,

time will tell what's to be done.

Are you an old man or something?

Don't stress yourself out.

Time will solve everything.

When the elderlies said something like this before,

I used to be skeptical.

These days, though,

I can relate to it.

Stop pretending to be a grown-up.

We are grown-ups, though.

Both you and I are in our thirties.

Let's go. Everyone must be waiting for us.

All right.

Dude. Don't you think we are too close?

We are supposed to be rivals in love.

That happens

only when Dr. Song considers us as boyfriend materials.

Dude. I'm a boyfriend material, no?

Ask her, not me.

One-minute News.

A group of traffickers who smuggled methamphetamine from China

was arrested.

People were shocked to find guns in their possessions.

Moving on,

in addition to assault cases of minors in Busan, Cheonan...

What are you doing?

Our GPS is being a pain in my ass.

-Goodness me. -Two teenagers including a 14-year-old

were arrested in Cheonan for allegedly assaulting their friend.

Gee. What a violent world nowadays!

They are still kids. How can they do that to their friend?

They learn from the grown-ups.

That's true. By the way,

we've been on board for two days.

Is everyone doing all right?

They are used to it now.

How about the dentist?

Did he get over the seasickness?

How can someone ever get over it?

-He has to learn to live with it. -Yeah.

By the way,

are we having a dinner party tonight?

We are getting ready for it right now.

You should be. It's been a while.

Playing games again?

Yes. Don't talk to me. I'm about to die.

I should play games, too.

At four o'clock this morning near Jangseungpo,

the Chinese methamphetamine traffickers were arrested by the police.

The value of methamphetamine confiscated is around 3.1 billion won.

They planned to smuggle it to Japan via Korea.

People were shocked to find guns in their possessions.

Six traffickers are on the run, including the their leader,

and the police is focusing on arresting them.

It's hot!

Around nine o'clock in the evening...

Smells delicious!

-Is it your turn to set the table? -Yes.

-Is this on Dr. Song? -Yes.

You bought so much.

-You must have spent a million. -More like a billion.

Cake. I forgot to buy a cake.

Cake? Why?

It's the boatswain's birthday today.

-Really? -This is awkward.

He has to blow candles and make a wish.

Should we go to the market near the dock

-and buy something? -Should we?

No.

No need.

Nurse Cho, did you know about it?

About his birthday?

But how?

Huh? Well, by accident.

By accident?

-Something fishy is going on here. -No, nothing's going on.

It's nothing.

For our hospital ship family who do their best

for their patients night and day--

Wait. I brought hangover cures for you!

-Again? -Smart of you!

Here.

-Did you take them? -Yes.

Dr. Song Eun-jae, please stand up.

Today, Dr. Song prepared the barbecue

for the hospital ship family to enjoy to the fullest

with her precious money.

Let's give a toast for Dr. Song Eun-jae.

Here. Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Pour it into your empty stomachs!

Thank you, Dr. Song.

-Thank you! -Thanks!

Okay. Let's go.

Stop them!

Congratulations, Chun-ho!

Thank you.

You two look good together.

Just because she got him a cake?

Come on, people.

Nurse Cho, throw some cake on him.

Right now. Gee.

-She did it. -She really did.

Wow. She really did it.

Turn the light on!

Where is our boss?

-Where is our boss? -Boss!

Boss!

Damn it.

What do we do? Don't we have to go to the hospital?

Did you get shot in the head?

Will the doctors welcome him when he shows up like this?

They will call the police, idiot.

Then do we sit around and watch him die?

We can't do that.

What's in his head is worth trillions.

-Then what? -Shut up for a second.

Let me think.

-Hey. -Didn't I just tell you to shut up?

I have a good idea.

If it's not a good one,

I'm going to blow your head off first.

Here.

-A hospital ship? -Yes. That's right.

I heard there is a monster surgeon,

who boldly carries out an appendectomy and sticks amputated arms together.

And, who is that?

THE STAR OF HOSPITAL SHIP SURGEON SONG EUN-JAE

Song Eun-jae?

This pretty face is the monster doctor?

Yes, according to the article.

-And-- -And what?

The hospital ship is currently nearby.

Good gracious. That was a good meal.

-That was great. -Wasn't it?

-Nurse Yoo, did you drink a lot? -Yes.

Captain, do you want to drink more in my cabin?

Should we?

The party ended early today.

We have work tomorrow. I'm also on duty in the ER.

-Aren't you going down? -I have some stuff left to do.

Then why didn't you tell him Ms. Choi is lying about having leukemia?

You ought to tell him if you're his friend. Why?

Because you get upset when your friend is fooled

and when his life is ruined by a mean woman.

But you...

don't intend to tell him.

-That's-- -Because...

you don't want him to feel ashamed, huh?

That's not it.

You don't want him to see you as a jealous woman.

You don't want to look pathetic

in front of the guy you like.

No.

Not at all.

Is this Seyeon Hospital?

Can I talk to Choi Yeong-eun, admitted to Hematology and Oncology?

What is the name of the patient, again?

It's Choi Yeong-eun,

the niece of Choi Hyeon-seok, chief of pulmonology.

I'm sorry,

but Choi Yeong-eun was never admitted to our hospital.

She wasn't admitted?

HYEON

Why don't you pick it up?

I don't want to sound drunk.

What are you going to tell him later?

That I was getting treated.

This is one fancy hospital room!

What are you doing?

What are you doing to my son?

Did a rope get loose?

Where's the work log?

Who are you?

Where's the work log?

You don't know what a work log is?

Answer me.

It's right there.

Is this it?

ON BOARD: BANG SEONG-U, CHU WON-GONG, YANG CHUN-HO, KANG JEONG-HO...

-The cake was delicious. -Really?

Captain Bang Seong-u and 17 other people.

There are a total of 18 people on board, right?

Look at this little bastard.

Why?

Trying to call for help, huh?

The wheel room is under our control.

-Get inside. -Yes, Brother.

Roger that, Brother.

Tie him.

Tie him, I said!

Tie him right now!

Bastard.

Get out!

Hey!

Shut up!

Stand up!

-Go! -Faster!

Move!

Song Eun-jae.

Who is Song Eun-jae?

Here.

Nurse Pyo!

Nurse Pyo.

Dr. Song Eun-jae?

You look better than the picture.

You're supposed to be this great surgeon?

Go and do surgery.

-Let's take her. -Yes, sir.

-Get her. -Yes.

-Doctor! -Dr. Song! No!

Wait!

-Did you hear that? -Hear what?

COAST GUARD

I think it came from the hospital ship.

-Oh, my! -Dr. Kwak!

What is it?

You said there's an emergency patient,

-who needs surgery right away. -So?

One cannot perform a surgery alone, no matter how simple the case is.

-So? -I will go with her.

And who are you? A doctor?

-Go and check. -Yes, sir.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART MEDICAL TEAM, SHIP OPERATIONS TEAM

He is a doctor, sir. Physician Kwak Hyeon.

-We'll take him, too. -Yes.

Get out!

-Doctor! -Dr. Song!

Dr. Song!

Doctor...

Shut up now!

What?

Hospital Ship Geoje 505, please respond.

Geoje 505, answer us.

This is Coast Guard.

Geoje 505, do you hear me?

Take it.

If you want to save the members of your hospital ship,

answer it.

Okay?

Captain, what was the noise? Is there a problem?

Captain?

Captain?

Yeah, it's me.

No. We don't have any problem.

I think it was the switchboard in the engine room.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

That was unnecessary.

I can't let you go alone.

Get out.

Hurry!

COAST GUARD

Captain, what is that boat leaving right now?

Do we have an emergency patient?

Yes, we do.

We have an emergency patient.

Okay. I got it.

All right. Good night.

Good. Now put it down.
