Original subtitles

Dr. Song!

He's... He's alive!

Dr. Song!

How about him next?

Do you want me to blow his head off, too?

No.

Take him.

Boss.

You're here.

I brought the doctors.

You will get better soon.

Hurry up.

Are you all right?

I have to be.

He got shot on his side and abdomen.

Luckily, the bullet missed his lungs and heart.

His breathing is unstable, though.

Let's turn him around.

There is only one exit wound.

Judging by the wound, the bullet damaged his right kidney.

How is his BP?

Lower than 70.

While going through the body,

the bullet could have hit the major blood vessels.

We need to locate his central vein, insert an IV,

and transfer him to the hospital ship as fast as we can.

Transfer him?

He will die if he doesn't get surgery.

Do it here.

What?

I said do it here!

We need to put him under anesthesia and open him up.

It will be impossible to perform a surgery in an unhygienic place

-without the proper anesthesia equipment. -Get your scalpels out right now!

Do you want me to kill him?

Perform the surgery.

Then he will die.

A scalpel is for saving people.

I can't use it as a murder weapon.

Perform the surgery. Do you hear me?

First...

First, put that gun down.

Do you think you can fool me?

You're trying to take us to the ship

and report us, right?

You want to drag out the surgery until morning

because by then, all of our escape routes will be cut off, right?

That's not it.

A laparotomy is a major surgery that requires a variety of equipment.

But considering the patient's condition,

we're not even sure if we can save him with what we have on board.

Then why? Why do you want to take him there?

If I suggest we take him to a bigger hospital, will you agree?

No, you won't.

If you could,

you wouldn't have come to our ship in the first place.

We have to go back to the ship.

We might not have a lot of equipment,

but we have a team of people who have worked with us.

We have worked together to save our patients, and with them--

There's no spontaneous breathing. We need to intubate him.

I beg you.

Let us take him to the hospital ship. That's the only way we can save him.

Let's do that.

Fine.

We'll go to the hospital ship.

But,

under one condition.

-What is it? -Three hours.

Perform the surgery in three hours.

What?

If you go over the time limit by even a minute,

you will pay with the lives of everyone on the hospital ship.

What do you say?

Dr. Song?

Can you do it?

-That's strange. -What is?

The hospital ship has disappeared.

What do you mean?

It was anchored to Kukdo Dock just five minutes ago.

And it's gone now?

That's strange. I wonder if something's happened.

What do you think happened to Dr. Song and Kwak Hyeon?

Every cloud has a silver lining.

What?

Is that...

Yes. It's the emergency phone.

How can we get it, though?

Yes, sir.

You're coming back?

Yes. I got it.

Who are Pyo Go-eun and Yoo A-rim?

-It's me. -Me.

Get up and come with me.

Hurry up!

-Nurse Pyo! -Nurse Yoo!

Nurse Pyo!

What are you doing? Where are you taking them?

GEOJE 505

GEOJE 505

GEOJE 505

Hurry up!

Stand still!

Untie the girl and prepare for surgery.

Surgery?

Of what kind?

Surgery to stitch up a patient who got shot in the stomach.

Move it!

To perform a surgery like that,

we need more hands.

Get the dentist Cha Jun-yeong for us.

Shut up and just do your job!

Move it!

I warned you.

So if something happens to that patient,

it's...

all on you.

Our boss.

-How is he? -He's going to have an operation,

so we'll see.

Should we run away by ourselves?

Loyalty won't save you now.

If it was for loyalty, I'd be long gone by now.

Only he knows where the money, we siphoned off overseas, is.

The money we got for the meth today is also in his possession.

We're lucky we managed to defeat the guys yesterday.

But their clan will soon find out about their death.

-Then-- -Then they'll send tougher ones.

Tomorrow, at 4 a.m.,

the ship that will take us to international waters will come.

This might be our last chance.

I told the doctors

to finish the surgery by 2:30 a.m.

-What if they fail? -We kill them all and leave.

-Including Boss? -Yes.

Geoje 505.

Hospital ship, please respond. Please respond.

Hospital ship, please, respond.

Hospital ship.

Please respond.

No response?

Call the captain.

COAST GUARD

The caller cannot be reached at this moment.

His phone is turned off.

He's not answering the radio,

and his phone is switched off?

Hey, Dr. Song Eun-jae.

Don't forget.

You have three hours.

Finish the surgery by 2:30 a.m. sharp.

After that,

for every minute that passes,

I will send a member of the hospital ship

off to the otherworld.

Got it?

-Dr. Song. -What do we do?

Why did we ask them

if we could bring the patient back here?

The bullets must have torn the organs and vessels,

but we can't get a single unit of blood to give him a transfusion.

Look at me.

What if we fail?

-Then our people here-- -Look at me.

They will kill them.

Like those guys we saw.

Don't think about anything.

Don't think about the time limit

or about what will happen if we don't finish it in time.

You don't have to think about any of that.

Just...

Think about the patient in front of you.

You just have to do your best

to save your patient.

Whatever happens after that...

It's not your fault.

Can I...

Can I stay like this for five seconds?

So...

should we get started?

Scalpel.

EMERGENCY CALL

COAST GUARD

COAST GUARD

As we expected, one of the bullet

damaged the right kidney.

And the remaining bullet in the abdomen...

Here it is,

the other bullet.

As we expected, it bounced off the spine

and hit the blood vessels.

Then...

We have to remove the hematoma, perform a nephrectomy on the right kidney,

and sew up the blood vessels.

If all goes smoothly, we will have no problem

finishing up the surgery in two and a half hours.

Good.

You're good, just as I had heard.

Don't touch me.

This is an operating room.

We have to keep it as sterile as possible

to save the patient.

Sure.

Just as you please, ma'am.

Hurry, ma'am.

The clock is ticking.

Don't worry and take your time.

Keep calm.

The patient's condition isn't bad.

A little more.

Go a little more up.

A little more.

Yes, that's right.

GEOJE 505

You son of a bitch!

You bastard!

What's going on?

What are you doing to them?

Maybe they deserved it.

I still have two hours.

You said you'd let us go

if I finish the surgery successfully, but...

what's going on?

What are you doing to them?

Gosh, you're hurting my ears.

What's going on?

We found a phone.

A phone?

Did you check the call list?

Did those bastards call the police?

No, they couldn't make the call.

Then just let it go.

Our sensitive Dr. Song Eun-jae

can't perform the surgery because it is too loud!

What are you doing?

Aren't you going to continue?

The clock is ticking.

COAST GUARD

Yes, Lieutenant.

What? The hospital ship is missing?

-Missing? -Our GPS can't track it.

The hospital ship is moored at the dock as usually is. Yes.

Maybe their AIS equipment is broken.

Call the Captain.

I already did.

We can't reach him or Mr. Chu.

The emergency call isn't working, either.

Is that so?

That's strange.

Okay. We will go there and check.

All right.

Doctor, the BP is dropping too fast!

What is it?

What have you done to my boss?

Are you planning to kill him?

Answer me!

Stop. Put your gun down.

Drop the gun at once

unless you want the patient to die.

It's okay. Don't listen to anyone.

Don't think about anything but the patient.

What just happened to your patient?

The bullet in the abdomen

hit the spine and tore the IVC.

The hematoma was blocking the tear, so we didn't know.

Then what do we have to we do now?

Focus.

Don't worry about anything. Keep calm and think.

I'm holding down the bleeding right now.

Keep calm and think.

If you focus,

you will find a way.

I know you will.

It is 2013, and it is hell in Syria.

Because of the ongoing war,

dozens of patients with gunshot wounds rush in every day.

There are many child soldiers who are not even 12 years old.

However, we don't have enough blood.

As a last resort, during the surgery...

Autotransfusion.

Nurse Yoo.

Get silicone tubing and empty a bag of saline solution.

-Why? -Hurry!

Go!

-Hold down a little longer. -What's your plan?

Syria.

Syria?

Are you heading to an area of conflict?

No. My current place of work sometimes gets

as dangerous as an area of conflict.

In 21st-century Korea?

Yes.

As a last resort, during the surgery,

we perform an autotransfusion from time to time

despite all the risks.

Because that is the only way to save our patients.

Once the bag is filled, transfuse it back to the patient.

-Keep changing the bag. Can you do it? -Yes, Doctor.

This will keep him going for a while.

But only for a while.

If the IVC has ruptured, we need at least ten units of blood.

The patient has already lost too much blood.

An autotransfusion is not enough at all, is it?

Then what?

We have to get blood from everyone on board.

I'll go first.

The patient's blood type is B,

but I'm type O, a universal donor.

-Nurse Pyo. Come here. -Okay.

Here. Hold down the blood vessel that I am holding down.

Okay.

Nurse Pyo will assist you from now on.

I'll be right back.

Nurse Yoo, go and scrub up.

You've practiced enough.

From now on, this will be your spot.

Do you think you can do it?

Yes. Of course, Doctor.

Dr. Cha.

Jun-yeong, monitor the patient as a circulating nurse.

A NURSE WHO CIRCULATES THE ROOM TO ASSIST IN AN OPERATION

-Hold it and follow me. -Why?

If you want to save the patient, follow me right now.

Darn it.

For goodness' sake.

What the...

Dr. Kwak, how is the surgery going?

What's that?

Untie this and hold here.

Do it.

All right.

Get this to the OR.

Hurry!

Do it.

Hey, what are you doing?

We need blood.

More than ten units of type O and type B.

Are you asking us to give blood?

Yes.

How can you say that right now?

I won't do it.

-I'll make sure that no one gives blood. -Hey.

What? Want to hit me again?

Bring it. Just kill me like the others!

Why that little--

-I'm type B. -Dr. Kim!

I'm type O.

Don't do it! They won't thank you for it.

Do you think they will spare us if we save the patient?

-So-- -All the more reason to do it.

You know very well why we have to do it.

If a person is hurt, we cure him whoever that person is.

It doesn't matter if that person is a thief or a serial killer...

-In the battlefields-- -I know.

I do know.

I know we have to save the enemy

who shot our soldiers.

I know that is the right thing to do

as a person in the medical field.

I do know it,

but I'm angry...

-I'm just so angry-- -That's enough.

This is still a hospital ship, you know?

They can't give blood in this state.

Untie them.

Now.

Untie the girls first.

Nurse Yang, find the veins and draw blood.

-Can you do it? -Yes. I'll do it.

I'll go first. I'm also type O.

Nurse Cho...

Well done.

Metz.

Thank you.

-Here. -Still not enough.

We can't get any more blood from our team.

So?

What now?

How much time do we have left?

We still have 40 minutes.

We just need to sew up the blood vessels.

We have enough time, so take your time.

On your knees.

How did the surgery go?

It went great. You know who did the surgery.

-But? -But what? Don't you get it?

Did you think they'd let us go because we saved the patient?

Where are the others?

What about Dr. Song and Hyeon?

What happened to them?

Nurse Yoo.

We don't know.

-Let me go! -What are you doing?

Shut your mouth and get the medicine.

Dr. Song Eun-jae is coming with us.

That wasn't the deal.

We saved the patient in three hours, as we said we would.

Yes. That's why I'm sparing your lives.

We need some kind of insurance, don't we?

Remember this.

If the police make the slightest move,

I will...

I will make a hole right here

and dump her in the ocean.

That won't happen. I promise.

Of course. Good boy.

-So-- -But we still need her.

We need someone to take care of the boss on our way!

Then take me instead. I will go.

A physician does a better job at postoperative care, so--

Dr. Kwak!

Let Dr. Song Eun-jae go.

I will go instead.

You don't know when to shut your mouth, do you?

Trying to get smart, are we?

-Does this look like a toy to you? -Stop!

I... I will get the medicine.

So, stop! Stop doing this to him!

Anyone out there?

Come in and tie this guy first.

What is it?

We have a problem.

Stay still.

Son of a...

Open the door, you bastard!

Darn it.

Dr. Kwak.

Can you hear me?

Wake up.

Please wake up.

Yes.

Good job.

Hold me tight.

Don't let it go.

You have to stay awake.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay with me.

Got it?

Dr. Kwak.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Don't go anywhere!

Please don't. Please?

Stay with me!

COAST GUARD

Watch your step.

Nurse Pyo, are you all right?

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

I'm checking if everything is all right.

You should go now. You can check it tomorrow.

What are you saying?

I have to sail her back.

Let's just go.

We had a rough night.

All the more reason for me to stay.

-Captain. -Don't call me that.

-I'm sorry and embarrassed to hear that. -Why?

I am the captain of the ship,

but all I could do was sit here

and do nothing.

I made you all go through so much trouble--

What are you talking about?

Because you turned off the AIS,

the Coast Guard got suspicious and came over here to check.

So let's go, please.

Okay, okay.

I get what you're saying. You should go ahead with everyone.

I will stay here a little longer.

There is something I have to do.

Who on earth is calling this early?

Yes, hello?

Is this Dr. Kwak Hyeon's mother?

Yes. Who am I speaking to?

I'm the captain of the hospital ship, Bang Seong-u.

I see. What made you call?

There was an accident on board last night.

Dr. Kwak is badly hurt,

and he is on his way to an inland hospital.

Yesterday, a hospital ship named Geoje 505,

which was stationed in Kukdo, was hijacked by drug smugglers.

A physician on board was shot and is in a critical condition.

Oh, my goodness! What about you, Dr. Song?

Are you all right?

-Where do we go? Straight to the OR? -No, to Intensive Care.

Exit wound on the right abdomen.

Possible tear in the descending colon, the left kidney, and the IVC.

Dr. Kim is in surgery, and Dr. Oh is off-duty today.

-It's the weekend. -What do you mean?

-Are you saying-- -Right now,

we have no surgeons here to do the surgery.

Do you want to do it?

Can you do it?

If you can, I will send him to the OR.

It's too much, isn't it?

After everything you went through last night.

I shouldn't have asked.

Let's stabilize him here as best as we can.

In the meantime, I'll look for a hospital he can be transferred to.

Stop.

I will do it.

-Dr. Song. -I will.

I'll perform the surgery.

Are you sure?

Call the anesthesiologist immediately.

We'll move to the OR right away!

It's not your fault.

It isn't your fault.

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.

But thank you.

You were upset,

and you thought of me first.

Remember one thing.

The thing between us could be a door rather than a wall.

You just have to open it and walk through.

I'll be waiting in front of it.

Scalpel.

What? Dr. Song is doing what?

Surgery.

This is driving me nuts.

What's up with everyone? Why do you all push her--

She wanted to it.

-So you let her? -Yes.

I'm sorry about what happened on the hospital ship.

If you think about it, Dr. Song Eun-jae is also a patient.

She must have suffered from significant psychological trauma.

Still, Song Eun-jae is a well-trained, talented surgeon.

-For a colleague, she should overcome-- -A colleague?

Who says that?

They are colleagues.

See?

She is performing the surgery with composure.

That's what makes her special.

That's why we call her a genius surgeon.

How's Hyeon?

Where is he?

What happened to him?

He's in surgery. Dr. Song Eun-jae is operating on him.

Is she performing the surgery

herself?

After all that...

After what she's been through,

she's performing the surgery herself?

What can she be thinking?

What do you think?

No matter how talented a surgeon is,

you can't hold

a scalpel for your family.

Especially for your lover.

Because you might

lose your cool?

What about...

Dr. Song Eun-jae?

Did she lose her cool?

No.

Was she...

calm?

She was more than that.

She wasn't crying.

She was calm and composed,

but for some reason,

it felt like I could hear her crying.

It sounded like she was crying

the saddest tears on earth.

I wonder if that's what it sounds like when you cry inside.

While crying inside,

while shedding tears inside her heart,

Dr. Song Eun-jae

is fighting her battle,

like a fierce warrior.

If God exists...

If God really does exist,

he should...

he should be on her side today.

Do you think you can beat her?

Do you have the confidence

to win over her?

I gave up.

Who can win against that?

No one can beat that.

So, as of today,

I'm giving her up completely.

I'll give up. But...

But what?

It's a shame.

It's a shame

that Kwak Hyeon's on the table, not me.

It's such a shame.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

Where...

am I?

Is it...

a hospital?

Are you all right?

Did you...

get hurt?
