Original subtitles

-I'll go to the ER. -I'll meet you in the lobby.

Let's go.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

-Nurse Yoo, you can go. -What about her?

I can take her to the physician.

Go on. Nurse Pyo has made a big decision. You must be worried.

Thank you, Dr. Kwak.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

Ma'am, shall we go?

Hang in there.

-Dr. Kwak. -Hello, sir.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Tae-ho, the chief physician.

Nice to meet you, sir.

So this is the lady. Thank you for bringing her in.

Do a blood test and get a chest X-ray.

By the way, where's Mr. Chu?

He's in the ER.

Why?

What do you mean?

He should stay with his wife. Where else?

What I meant is, why is she still in the ER instead of the ICU?

That's because she might be transferred.

Why is she being transferred to another hospital?

They don't have a doctor who can operate on her.

What about Dr. Song?

You didn't know?

Dr. Song was fired from this hospital as of today.

Where is she now?

She went to the Director for a final negotiation.

Final negotiation?

Transfer the patient to another hospital.

I want to save her, Director Kim.

Think about the investment Doosung will make, Director.

Director Kim.

Please come have a seat.

Tell Dr. Song Eun-jae to leave and let's talk, just the two of us.

-He can't just leave like that. -What else can he do?

Open the OR for Dr. Song and close the hospital?

What about Ms. Kim Seong-hui?

She'll die if she doesn't get the operation.

-Can't you do it? -Do what?

The operation. Can't you operate on her?

-I'm sorry. -Geez! This is so frustrating.

-Where are you going? -To look for Director Kim.

-Are you going to talk him into it? -I don't know!

Darn it! This is terrible.

Please let me do the operation.

If you don't put pressure on him,

Director Kim will open the operating room.

You really want to do this operation, don't you?

Of course I do.

Then you should.

Are you letting me do it?

But...

Under one condition.

I'll hold a press conference

and I want you to say a few things about hospital ships.

Do you want me to criticize them?

I'm not as heartless as you think.

Even though it was just for a few months, it was still your workplace.

It's not nice to bad-mouth it.

I want you to point out one problem.

-What is that? -Free medical services.

Free medical services provided by the hospital ship is a big problem.

"Medical services shouldn't be free."

I want you to emphasize that subject.

I gather you probably agree with me on this subject.

What makes you think that?

Eleven years.

You studied for 11 years to get your doctor's license.

That's not all.

Even after you became a doctor,

you couldn't eat or sleep,

saving lives in the operating room.

You provide your excellent skills for free?

Do you think it's fair?

Sir.

We live in a capitalist society.

There are lots of opportunities to make money.

You should make money by working hard,

and pay for the things you need.

Of course, health isn't an exception.

Especially, a great doctor like you

should charge a lot of money for your specialty.

-Don't you agree? -No.

I beg to differ.

How? Are you saying it's okay to provide it for free?

Of course.

How generous of you!

Technically, I'm not entitled to that compliment.

Exactly.

You're a salaried doctor hired by the province.

What are you saying?

Is it okay to waste the taxpayers' money?

That's not what I meant--

Those poor lazy bums wasted their lives.

Why is our society responsible for them?

Those people have no shame!

No matter how hard they work, some people can't make ends meet.

How can you be poor if you work hard?

-Those are excuses. -I don't agree with you,

but even if what you said was true,

I don't care if they're lazy or poor. Whoever they are,

if they're ill, they should be treated,

without any condition.

Free of charge?

If possible, yes.

I can't believe how naive you are.

You strike me as an idealist.

Maybe because I'm a naive idealist,

I was able to save your son's life.

I saved a patient, Jang Seong-ho,

who needed medical services after a car accident.

I didn't save Jang Seong-ho, the heir of Doosung Group,

who could pay a lot of money for his operation.

At the accident scene, near Mr. Jang Seong-ho,

they couldn't find anything that could identify him.

If I'd ignored the scene because of that,

what do you think would've happened?

If I operate on an unidentified patient, and the patient falls into a coma,

we can't collect a dime.

This happens often in the ER.

They told me not to operate

on a patient who can't afford the surgery fee.

If I tried to find out who he is

instead of helping him at the accident scene,

your son might not even be alive.

Are you trying to take credit for saving my son's life?

If you start buying health with money,

people will put a price tag on human lives.

Listen, Dr. Song.

Are you really naive, or are you pretending to be naive?

Do you think everyone's life is worth the same?

Do you really think so?

No.

Then why?

Since so many lives are treated cheaply,

I think

at least medical services should be provided for free.

Was it Kim Seong-hui? The patient?

Yes.

Don't you want to save her?

Of course I do.

Then you should be more cooperative.

I don't want to negotiate with someone's life.

Everyone has

one life,

and even God

can't put a price on that.

Please

make a wise decision

on this matter.

I'm afraid

that this conversation is over, Dr. Song.

You look tired, sir.

Even God can't put a price on a life?

She's very stubborn and feisty.

I couldn't reason with her.

I'll send an acupressurist to your place.

No, send him to the villa.

I want to relax there tonight.

Yes, sir. I'll see to that.

How did it go?

What does that mean?

They won't open the OR?

Who? Who's stopping it?

Jun-yeong.

Jae-geol's father?

-No. -Then who?

Doosung Group?

How come your father let Doosung do this?

Dr. Cha.

It's okay.

You have to tell us the truth,

so we can solve it.

SOUTH GYEONGSANG FIRE DEPARTMENT

She has multiple contusions and a suspected spinal fracture.

Can you hear me?

Send him to District A.

Sir, do you know where you are?

-Take over! -Okay.

Charge to 150.

Clear!

One, two!

One, two!

John Doe.

The patient is a John Doe.

He's deceased.

NON-COLLECTIBLE

If we keep having non-collectibles like this,

it'll hurt the hospital a lot.

We will have to close down the ER!

What are we supposed to do? Send the patients back?

NON-COLLECTABLE

What are we supposed to do with her?

Dr. Song.

Are your children on their way?

Dr. Song.

You should tell them to come.

Are you...

giving up on her?

Are you giving up on her?

Just like that?

No, she's not.

Dr. Song Eun-jae.

You never give up.

Director Kim.

The operating room is open. Send the patient up.

I called two anesthesiologists.

Dr. Myeong will take the donor.

Dr. Song has to perform a transplant. Okay?

Thank you.

Thank you, Director Kim.

No.

I apologize.

Go up to the operating room.

We'll save the patient first and talk about it later.

Yes, sir.

We'll send up the patients. Why don't you go and get ready?

Okay.

You don't have to say anything.

Of all people, I know that you always give everything you have

for your patients.

That's why

I will trust you and wait outside.

Good luck.

You know what to do.

Just focus on the surgery.

Are you okay?

You're burning up. You have a fever. Ma'am!

Ma'am!

-In-gyeong! -Ma'am!

Ma'am, please wake up! Ma'am!

What's going on?

Dr. Kwak, what's wrong with her?

She gave birth on the hospital ship.

Is she the one?

Her breathing and pulse are normal.

-But... -But what?

She has a fever.

Ma'am, let me take your temperature.

Wow. 38.5 degrees. It's quite high.

-BP? -85 over 60.

It's really low.

To prevent dehydration, give her an IV.

Massage her with alcohol to lower her temperature.

Okay.

It was an eventful day.

Every day is an eventful day at the Jeil Hospital ER.

I guess you're right.

I hope things will work out for Dr. Song.

I don't know what's right anymore.

Even after what Dr. Song did, they turned their backs on her.

You can do it.

You can do this, right?

You'll never know.

-Are you afraid? -Always.

But still, we have to do this.

-It's our duty as surgeons. -Cheer up.

I'll join you as soon as I'm done.

Please make sure Nurse Pyo is okay.

What?

Song Eun-jae is doing what?

Who told her to do the surgery?

Who let her?

-Isn't it obvious-- -What's obvious?

Just answer my question!

How dare you treat me like an idiot?

I'm sorry. I'll take care of it right away.

Please continue with the acupressure--

How dare you!

Don't tell me what to do!

Am I a joke? Do you want to be the chairman?

-Sir! -What now? Why the long face?

Director Kim Su-gwon is here, sir.

I heard that you did something interesting.

It's more fun than interesting, actually.

For doctors, there's nothing more fun

than saving lives, sir.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

What's this?

This is the original copy of the memorandum of understanding

that we kept at our hospital.

-What's the meaning of this? -I want

to discard the MOU that was concluded between Doosung and Jeil Hospital.

Aren't you worried about the consequences?

Will you tear it up yourself, or do you want me to do it?

Find a way to destroy them.

Destroy Song Eun-jae and Geoje Jeil Hospital, and rip them into pieces!

We scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning.

What's the issue?

Everyone has skeletons in the closet.

It's nothing major,

but we found a few cases that will ruin the hospital's reputation.

What about Song Eun-jae? Is she getting off the hook easily?

No, she's not.

Hwang In-gyeong will be at the press conference.

We will air the video of the baby

who is barely breathing with all the machines attached to her.

Public sentiment toward Song Eun-jae will get worse.

Hello, sir.

-It's looks like it's going smoothly. -Yes, sir.

Chairman Jang won't back down without a fight.

He'll either try to change my mind or blackmail me.

I think the real war has just started.

War? What war?

He tore up the MOU, and Doosung hasn't invested any money in Jeil, yet.

He thinks that he failed.

Without Jeil Hospital, his plan to launch the telemedicine system will fall through.

And Doosung won't make money.

Will Doosung and Jeil Hospital become enemies now?

It's like David and Goliath.

You know what?

Don't you think we should have a stone?

-A stone? -Yes, a stone.

We should hurl a stone at them, just like David.

Jae-geol, I warned you.

Don't show off.

Have you spoken to Ms. Hwang?

Eye contact doesn't count.

Did you actually ask what happened?

-You didn't. -I tried to.

-Why didn't you? -The baby is sick.

-Besides... -Besides what?

Besides...

the mother is also sick.

So frustrating!

Kwak Hyeon.

Listen to me carefully.

If you think about it, it all started from there.

When Ms. Hwang reported Dr. Song to the police, and brought in the media.

That's when it all started.

Do you think she acted alone?

I don't think so. There must be someone behind her.

Who? Doosung?

There's a high possibility.

According to Dr. Song, Jo Seong-min, the legal representative for Ms. Hwang,

is not specialized in medical disputes.

He represented Doosung during their strike.

They got her a lawyer

and promised big bucks if things go according to plan.

That's why she agreed to bury the two doctors who saved...

not only her, but also her baby.

-Jae-geol. -This is it.

-What do you mean? -This is our stone. Hey!

-Let's leak this to the press. -No way.

-Why not? -We have no proof.

Did they go after Dr. Song with proof?

-We can do the same thing. -That's not right.

If we miss this chance, we're done.

What if it's not true?

What if it turns out it wasn't true?

What if everything we said was false? What then?

It's bad enough that her baby is sick.

We can't let her go through that.

Do you know how David beat Goliath with a stone?

His timing was right.

-And this is the perfect timing. -We have to know the truth first.

Besides, Ms. Hwang is sick.

I'll talk to her when she's stabilized.

-Leave it to me. -We don't have time.

They're going to eat us alive when the sun comes up tomorrow.

-I know. -Do you?

Do you really know?

Okay.

Suit yourself.

But this is your last chance.

If your way doesn't work,

I'll use my way.

Speak of the Devil.

-You're here, Dr. Lee. -There's an emergency patient.

Have some coffee. Dr. Lee's buying.

Thank you.

You've been busy taking care of the baby, and now the mother?

It's nothing.

I just escorted her from the hallway to here.

It's so noble of you.

After what the mother has done to you,

you're still pouring your heart into this baby.

He's an angel, no doubt.

What is it, Dr. Kim?

What? Han-sol? Okay, I'll be right over.

Dr. Lee, what's wrong with Han-sol?

You should go, too.

What is it? What's wrong?

Oxygen saturation is 85 percent.

Capillary refill time is five seconds.

-Give her some epinephrine. -Yes, ma'am.

It's not working.

-Dr. Lee, her heart rate dropped to 60. -Oh, no! I'll do CPR.

-Dr. Lee. -It's not working.

It's only hurting the baby.

Why don't we connect her to an ECMO machine?

I'm afraid we don't have one.

-We don't have an ECMO machine? -No.

Do you think Han-sol can hang on for an hour and a half

until she gets to a hospital with an ECMO machine?

Do you think it's best for her?

I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do.

We've done everything that science can do.

Why don't we...

try something else?

If we've done everything that science can do,

I think...

we should try something that humans can do...

this time.

-While praying for a miracle. -Praying for a miracle?

Dr. Kwak. Are you...

Please let me do it.

If there are other ways,

I would like to try them all.

Please.

Let's sew up the blood vessels and finish.

To save a life in danger,

she willingly donated a part of her body.

I want you to do your best to help her

return to a normal life.

Give me 5-0 Prolene.

MEDICAL THREAD USED FOR SUTURES

SURGICAL DURATION, CURRENT TIME, ANESTHESIA TIME

-Nurse Im, I need to make a call. -Yes.

How did it go?

They just arrived?

Send them up right away.

What is it? Is there a problem?

Get some rest.

Hurry, Dr. Song is waiting.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Anything could happen in the operating room,

but it's nothing that Dr. Song can't control.

Their blood vessel shapes are different.

This happens a lot with organ transplants,

so I requested frozen blood vessels from Seoul Daehan Hospital.

They have just arrived.

I'm going to do the angioplasty first.

-It'll take some time. -Yes.

Luckily, her lungs and heart are fairly healthy.

She's so reliable.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

There we go. Easy.

Are you awake?

What am I doing here, mom?

You don't remember?

You fainted last night, and Dr. Kwak from the hospital ship brought you here.

You were burning up all night long.

Are you okay?

My goodness...

You're not quite there, yet. You're still warm.

What about the baby?

I don't know.

Mom.

My daughter is more important to me than your daughter.

I told you to go to a postpartum care center,

but you wouldn't listen.

What if you also...

What do you mean?

Is Han-sol okay?

Is she?

She's not dead.

She took a really bad turn in the middle of the night.

Why didn't you wake me up?

Wake you up for what?

What could you have done?

Hey... Are you crazy?

In-gyeong!

Oh, my!

In-gyeong!

In-gyeong! Come on.

In-gyeong...

What... what's he doing?

It's called "kangaroo care."

A treatment where you comfort the baby through skin-to-skin contact.

But why?

There was nothing else we could do.

Was my baby's condition

that serious?

Yes.

Without her mommy?

But Han-sol fought really bravely last night.

With Dr. Kwak.

Dr. Lee.

Can I do that? I want to do it, Dr. Lee.

When you get over your cold.

Cold viruses can be lethal to babies with weak immune systems.

What kind of...

What kind of mother am I?

How come there's nothing

I can do for my own baby?

You have Dr. Kwak instead.

He wants to save Han-sol as much as his mother.

He's such a good doctor.

Dr. Kwak said yesterday

that if science did what it could do,

it was time for humans to come in,

and pray for a miracle.

Pray?

Luckily, praying seems to be working.

It was stronger than epinephrine.

Do you see that number there?

Her heart rate was only 60 yesterday, but it went up to 90.

It feels like some sort of mysterious power restarted...

Han-sol's little heart.

Does this mean

that my granddaughter is going to survive?

As long as she keeps making progress.

Oh, my!

Thank goodness!

Your daughter's okay now.

Why don't you put your shoes on?

If you walk around barefoot after having a baby,

you'll suffer later.

Put them on!

Mom.

Your daughter means everything to you,

but to me,

you mean everything.

There we go, let's put these on.

Dr. Song, how...

The surgery went pretty well.

Now, it's Ms. Kim's turn to come through.

Dr. Song.

You must be Dong-hun and Dong-min.

Do you know our names?

Of course I do.

Your father always brags about you while showing your pictures.

For real?

Why would she lie?

You have to take good care of her.

From now on, that's her best medicine.

Can you do that?

What are you doing? We're at the hospital.

Dr. Kwak. Let go of me.

What did I just see?

It was Dr. Song and Dr. Kwak.

I know who they are. Why are they holding hands?

You're making me shy.

-Are they dating? -You didn't know?

Dr. Kwak, we need to talk.

Did something happen last night?

What's the meaning of this?

It's a good morning, isn't it?

It's so good that you would only have it once in a lifetime.

Han-sol's getting better.

All night last night,

she was lying on my chest,

and fought really hard

with her tiny heart.

Really?

Really.

Then now that little girl knows.

That my man has the warmest heart in the entire world.

-Hello. -Is this Dr. Song Eun-jae?

This is she.

This is the chief of health policy department.

You didn't forget about the hearing today, did you?

Is it today?

What's going on?

Sir, this is terrible.

What is it?

As of now,

I'm going to drop all charges

against Dr. Song Eun-jae, a surgeon, and Dr. Kwak Hyeon, a physician,

on the hospital ship.

Tell us the cause of the incident. Has the cat got your tongue or something?

You did the surgery without the family's consent!

No. That's not true.

Don't lie to us!

That can't be.

Why are you dropping the charges?

Didn't you say that Dr. Song Eun-jae did the surgery without the family's consent?

About that.

HWANG IN-GYEONG'S MOTHER SAYS SHE AGREED TO THE SURGERY

Actually, I lied all about it.

What is she saying?

You called this hearing without getting the facts straight?

Why waste taxpayers' money?

Unbelievable!

No. Listen to me.

You guys...

Why did you lie?

Some lawyer came to me and said

he would give us money.

At first, I didn't believe him,

he said I could trust Doosung Group.

Did you just say "Doosung"? That Doosung Group?

That Doosung Group we know?

It's Chairman Jang.

Mr. Jang, any comment, sir?

Is it true that you paid off the baby's family?

I'll stay at a hospital for a while.

Tell them you don't know anything.

and it was all Jo Seong-min's idea and he acted alone.

Yes, sir.

If the telemedicine bill passes, Doosung will be able to build

a market for their cutting edge personal medical devices

which will mount up to tens of millions of won.

Chairman Jang Tae-jun, who secretly left his place in Geoje last night,

allegedly bribed the patient, her mother,

-and a number of civil servants. -This is going to backfire.

Bring Captain Bang in.

Before things get out of hand, run the hospital ship again.

You're not involved, are you?

What? I'm not like you!

Don't put the blame on me. I did what you asked me to do.

Now, I'm asking you to bring Captain Bang of the hospital ship!

Hey, Captain.

I have no business with him.

Come on. You waited all night to meet with the governor.

I'm sure the governor is too busy to see me.

I think he should see them first.

What?

What? Bribery?

I'm innocent!

I've been a clean and upright servant for my entire life!

Let go of me.

Yes!

Are you awake?

What happened to

the hospital ship?

If you're awake, let's go.

-Where? -To save the hospital ship!

I can't go anywhere.

I have to stay here.

You don't have to.

You should be up and about with a liver that size.

What?

Oh, my!

I was joking.

It all worked out.

The provincial office called and said

we could resume the hospital ship starting tomorrow.

That's great.

By the way, what did you do?

Did you do anything to help the hospital ship resume?

You didn't do much, right?

I was busy taking care of my wife...

Yet the hospital ship will resume.

Everyone worked so hard.

You know what?

I think you can move back in with your wife.

All the crew on the hospital ship can take care of themselves.

Now you can stop

worrying about the hospital ship,

and take care of your wife and kids instead.

Nurse Pyo.

The hospital ship is here.

It's been a while.

The hospital ship is anchored.

-The hospital ship? -How long has it been?

It's been a while.

-Ms. Seo Sun-ae. -Here.

Mr. Park Su-bong. It's your turn.

-Have you eaten, yet? -Yes, I have.

-Ms. Kim Jeom-bun. -Yes.

We'll get a chest X-ray. Come on in.

Ma'am, hold this plate in your arms, just like holding a baby,

and when I tell you to hold your breath...

hold it like this.

Hold your breath.

Look at that. People are swarming in like crazy.

The hospital ship hasn't run for a while, so people from other islands also came.

I know.

Hospital ship, come in.

Yes.

A hiker fell on a trail on Mt. Daegeum.

-What? -Send a rescue team quickly.

Wait. Hold on.

Turn it on.

Emergency patient!

Yu-jeong! Wake up! Yu-jeong!

Dr. Song, are you okay?

I'm okay.

Dr. Song, over there!

Open your eyes.

Yu-jeong! Wake up! Yu-jeong!

Please move. Let me take a look.

Ma'am! Wake up!

Ma'am!

-BP? -It's 75 over 50.

It's tension pneumothorax. A 16 gauge needle.

Yes.

TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX: CONDITION IN WHICH AIR BECOMES TRAPPED IN THE PLEURAL SPACE

What's wrong with her leg? Why is it swollen?

Is it broken?

Ma'am. Ma'am?

Can you feel this?

What is it? What's wrong?

She's been paralyzed.

Paralyzed?

That means she can't move?

I believe it is temporary.

What's causing it?

It's acute compartment syndrome.

While she was falling, her leg hit something hard,

and the blood is clogged in the muscles.

We have to move her to the hospital ship.

Okay.

On three. One, two, three!

The cancer that's growing inside me

is a tough one.

Did Dr. Song apply for a major trauma center in England?

I feel hurt. Why didn't you discuss it with me?

I don't want to stay with him if I'm not pretty and healthy.

You pretend to be so strong, but you're such a crybaby.

-I want you to leave. Leave! -Please open the door.
