Original subtitles

Can you save this patient?

What?

I won't know until I open him up,

-but he's bleeding in the biliary tree-- -Enough complicated stuff.

Tell me if you can save him or not, as a doctor.

What are you doing?

Answer me.

I can save him.

Then save him.

We're moving the bed to the operating room.

Now, protecting the medical team and the patient is

our first and foremost duty.

Team, line up in front of the guns.

From this moment on, whoever is a threat,

I give you permission to shoot.

We're transporting him now.

EPISODE 4

The VIP is now in the operating room.

Our team and Mubarak's guards have their weapons drawn at each other.

Medically speaking, our team's decision is right.

Making the right medical decision is not what's important right now!

We're talking about President Mubarak of the Arab League!

What happens if something goes wrong?

If something goes wrong, our government will have problems with every Arab nation!

We will start the surgery. Scalpel.

You crazy bastards! Stop right now!

Yoo Si-jin! Seo Dae-yeong!

Why isn't anyone answering me!

Solidarity!

The special forces are in full armor at the drill ground. Taebaek Unit--

You think I don't have ears? I got it, so get the car ready!

Solidarity.

Because of you bastards, we've been placed on FPCON One.

We are about to go to war now.

Whoever can hear me, make sure you tell Yoo Si-jin this.

Go get the doctors and stop the operation now. Hand over the VIP.

Or else I will shoot everyone for disobedience!

You won't be able to turn back. If you change your mind--

Over here.

This is a subcostal incision, right?

There wasn't any record of surgery on his chart.

That's why you shouldn't trust anything

that you haven't confirmed for yourselves.

That is why this operation is dangerous.

The patient, us, and even the soldiers that are outside...

If we stop because it's dangerous, this patient will die.

As doctors, we really don't have any choice in the matter.

We will cut the abdomen open now.

This patient had a GB surgery before.

The adhesion between the tissues is severe. We'll start by removing this first

in order and with precision. Bovie.

His blood pressure is dropping too much too suddenly.

Pump more blood into him.

-It's going down even further. -What do we do?

If something bad happens to him, are we all going to die?

I'm a father now...

It's up to God.

This won't do.

We don't have time.

Let's just take care of the adhesion, and stop the bleeding--

Nurse Jang, do the transfusion faster.

We can handle this amount of bleeding.

After removing the adhesion, we'll take care of hemorrhage.

Just do as we planned in order.

But--

Stop whining. Ten more packs of red blood cells.

We will start again.

We will proceed with adhesion removal.

-What's the situation over there? -They are still operating on him.

I think the Arab head doctor has arrived.

It's good now. We were able to repair the aneurysm.

Blood pressure is stabilizing.

Good. Clean up and do the angiorrhaphy calmly.

You think we don't know that?

Are you okay?

I will stay here. Go get some rest.

I'm fine.

I am just a little hungry.

Why don't you go get some food?

We will be able to rotate later.

Yes, ma'am.

By the way...

What do we do if he doesn't wake up?

There will be a case report on the hepatic artery aneurysm,

and world history will change...

BLUE HOUSE DIPLOMACY VIP ROOM

Any problems during recovery?

Although the surgery went well, post-surgery is where we need to--

You don't need to explain anything.

We are just left with the results of the surgery.

We were able to avoid the worst kind of friction, like an armed clash,

but we need justification for diplomatic measures.

We should take anticipatory measures regarding the ones accountable.

This is the Commander. Connect me to the signal corps.

Sergeant First Class Seo, can you hear me? This is the Commander speaking.

Solidarity. This is Sgt. Seo Dae-yeong.

Dismiss Captain Yoo Si-jin of his duties for disobeying orders,

and prepare to apprehend him.

I know.

As your superior, I am proud of your actions.

You've worked hard.

But my order still stands.

Carry out my order.

Sgt. Gong Cheol-ho.

Captain Yoo Si-jin, for disobeying orders,

you're dismissed as Commander and will be taken to temporary detention.

Please take care of the follow-up measures.

Is he really keeping an eye on us?

I don't think he's standing there hoping to get some cup noodles.

It hasn't been three minutes yet.

It's not that.

I keep questioning myself if I counted the gauze correctly.

You don't think it's inside the patient and we just sewed it up, right?

What kind of joke is that?

Besides, our Nurse Ha is as sharp as a knife--

Should I go back and count again? How many did we have originally?

What are you saying now?

As per the orders,

you will wait in the storage supply room until further detention notice.

I wish it had been the food storage area.

Solidarity.

Seo Dae-yeong, wait outside.

Solidarity.

You crazy bastard.

The Captain is detained and the squad is a mess.

-I apologize. -So what did you do to be sorry for?

Do you know how many people might lose their jobs because of you?

-I have nothing to say. -Of course, you don't.

If you just kept out of trouble, you were on track to get promoted.

Why are you shooting yourself in the foot?

I have no regrets.

I am the one that made these decisions.

I will take responsibility for everything.

You better stand by what you just said.

Where is Captain Yoo?

He's on standby for detention. No visitation.

Please, just for five minutes.

Seo Dae-yeong, where is that crazy doctor named Kang Mo-yeon?

Go get her. I want to put a name to a face.

When the VIP wakes up--

I'm... Kang Mo-yeon.

What about the VIP? Not yet, huh?

We are waiting now.

Anybody can say that. What if he doesn't wake up?

The diagnosis and treatment were all based on medically rational decisions.

You are confident.

You don't care about anything here. You can just open your clinic later.

You ruined Yoo Si-jin's life.

He just blew a decade's worth of service and future success.

If the VIP doesn't wake up, then the rest of his life is done for.

Thanks to your so-called rational decision, doctor.

Try and make sure he wakes up.

At least our careers can go on.

I am asking you a favor here.

Solidarity.

-The VIP situation will be reported-- -Shut it.

I don't want to see your face. Pack up and go.

Your transfer order is still active.

When the Company Commander is unavailable, as second-in-command, I--

You should've been like this earlier and stopped him.

Do you also want disciplinary action?

Staff Sergeant Choi, you will be the temporary commander.

Seo Dae-yeong, obey my orders and go back. Understand?

Yes, I understand.

You two listen to me carefully.

If you get investigated upon your return,

Yoo Si-jin is the one solely responsible for this.

Keep that in mind.

Go.

Are you leaving now?

I will be leaving at 21:00.

Have you thought about not leaving at all?

Why don't you resist this time?

I'm not escaping of my own will. It's an order.

I am sorry that I have to leave at a time like this.

I will report for the transfer right now.

I've been dismissed. I'm no longer your direct supervisor.

Why would you want to report to me?

The command from my direct supervisor today was all correct.

All the commands I received from my direct supervisor today were honorable.

I will see you back home, Company Commander, sir.

I'll buy you drinks for three days straight.

I report to you.

As of May 24, 2015, I, Master Sergeant Seo Dae-yeong,

have been ordered to transfer to the Special Forces.

End of report. Solidarity.

Solidarity.

It is 20:50. You have exactly 10 minutes.

Excuse me. This is Kang Mo-yeon.

Let's get going

Yes, sir. We will get going now.

I am so glad to see you.

Are you here to see me?

I'm sorry.

You don't owe an apology, Dr. Kang.

The patient has not yet woken up.

Don't you think you have too many men to worry about?

Don't be so such an easy woman.

From now on, you should worry only about me.

When I saw you earlier,

I realized what you said before was true.

What?

That you are sexy in the operating room.

But why did you do it?

You had another option in that situation earlier.

It didn't have to be that way.

I told you already.

Beautiful ladies, the elderly, and children should be protected.

That's my rule.

Beauties and the elderly.

They were both right in front of me. I wasn't able to look away.

You were very brave today.

Do you know that?

Are you crying right now?

Is it okay in there? Do you need anything?

I need C-4 or RDX.

What is that?

It's a bomb.

I was okay until now, but I suddenly want to break the door and get out.

Because of somebody.

How can you joke at this moment?

I know I shouldn't.

And yet, I pulled it off.

I did.

I think time's up.

Here. Thought you might need it.

I will get going now.

Thank you.

It is just what I needed.

MOSQUITO COILS

This man is not sick anymore.

What are you doing? Step away!

What's wrong?

President, can you see me?

Follow my fingers.

He woke up! He woke up!

We're alive.

I thought my 37 years of life would end here.

The patient lives to save the doctor.

It's really a relief.

My family may be well off, but even we couldn't handle that.

Ah, your family isn't that well off?

This was the second time in my entire medical career where I was that scared.

When was your first?

When I operated on her mother.

I was so nervous something would go wrong.

The patient is being transferred.

Attention! Present Arms!

Order Arms.

The VIP is on the way to the city with his practitioner.

I heard that the surgery was a success and the atmosphere is not so bad.

The situation is resolved.

That's a relief.

Yes, don't worry.

Please travel safely.

There is a whining kid next to me, so I will turn on the speakerphone.

This is Communications and Information Services Kim Gi-beom.

How can you do this to me?

How can you just leave like this?

Of course, I just left. I left the dictionary with you.

Continue your preparation for the GED exam.

Staff Sergeant Choi, watch him to make sure he studies.

Yes, I will make sure he does.

Solidarity.

Okay. Work hard. I'm hanging up.

You are exactly the person I was looking for.

But you are here. What do I do now?

Where are you going?

Are you running away again?

I am asking if you are running away again.

Master Sergeant Seo Dae-yeong. I was ordered--

to return home.

Say it's a feigned retreat.

Tell me to wait for you.

Tell me that you will return at all costs.

There are lots of mosquitoes.

Be sure to wear your uniform even though it's hot.

What is this?

What do you want me to do?

Please take care of yourself at your deployment area.

Solidarity.

Why hug me? Why touch me?

If you touched me, be responsible for it!

You said you can't be happy with lingering feelings.

You are considerate when it comes to other women.

Why don't you at least do that for me then?

Did you love that woman a lot?

Why are you curious about that?

Revenge has certain levels and intensities.

I made a promise to her that I would make her happy.

I don't think she will be happy if you mess up her wedding.

People can't be happy if they have lingering feelings.

You are not going for revenge,

but to be considerate of her?

BRIDE'S WAITING ROOM

How did you...

I was wondering who you were getting married to.

I saw him here.

Don't tell me you greeted him.

I can, on the way out.

Please that's...

Nice to meet you. Congratulations on your wedding.

Who is she?

Thought I might need to say hello.

Thank you for letting this man go.

I am Staff Sergeant Seo's girlfriend.

It's awkward to call each other ex and current girlfriend, call me Doctor Yoon.

I am a doctor.

-Is she really your girlfriend? -I have nothing else to say.

I think I can live without thinking of you, thanks to this person.

So live well without regret, since you're the one who left.

I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding.

Do you regret it?

No, it feels good.

I feel regretful.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Well, I feel a little strange.

Since I did my part,

don't forget to tell Captain Yoo Si-jin that we're dating.

Don't worry.

I said, "I wouldn't marry Yoo Si-jin."

When did I ever say that I was never going to get married?

What the heck did you say?

I only said what I promised to say: "I am dating Yoon Myeong-ju."

Then what's up with rumors around the base that we slept together?

Because the soldiers are imaginative?

Staff Sergeant Seo, do you find this funny?

I don't find it not funny.

Is this about someone else?

Guys think dating and sleeping together are the same?

That's what men do. Don't worry about it.

If you worry about it, you're sleeping-- I mean losing.

-I'm sleeping what? -My mistake.

Don't try to be funny.

Is sex all men think about?

Because of this I'll always be sleep--

It'll be a losing fight.

I may not know how to win, but I know how to make the score even.

How so?

We can just make the rumors true.

Make the rumors true...?

What do you see me as?

Are you okay?

-I didn't know you were like this! -I'm sorry.

How could you?

First Lieutenant Yoon Myeong-ju has arrived at the Taebaek Base in Uruk.

And Master Sergeant Seo Dae-yeong left the Uruk airport at 13:00.

It's a call from the Blue House.

Connect me.

-This is the Commander. -This is Lee Hyun-soo.

The Arab League made an unofficial request regarding the surgery on the VIP.

To put it simply,

they insist that "there was never any surgery."

Therefore, "no visit was ever made to Medi Cube."

"We don't want any records to remain on this matter."

Our government has promised full cooperation on this matter.

As for Captain Yoo Si-jin, whether he is to be disciplined or commended,

we will respect the Army's decision.

We will take the necessary measures.

Yoo Si-jin is still in detention, right?

Yes, that's right.

Expunge all records regarding the surgery, and release Yoo Si-jin.

Move forward with the hearing.

A disciplinary hearing instead of a commendation?

Connect me to the Major General of Taebaek Base.

There are these many beans in Uruk?

None of you guys stopped this? Huh?

For our Commander who spent two days in detention

and has been safely released from prison,

I have prepared a cube of tofu here,

with tofu stew on the right and tofu-kimchi on the left.

-I've made one star-shaped, too! -"Released from prison?"

Is that not it?

Then released from jail?

From jail?

I was only locked up for detention.

I see.

What's wrong with him?

I'll teach him more.

First, take this.

You two were saved by Staff Sergeant Choi.

-Everybody, attention! -Attention!

The Commander has something to say.

We had an emergency, and the second-in-command was out too.

But you all worked it out.

Tonight is a tofu night.

But this weekend, we'll have pork belly BBQ.

Everyone enjoy your meal. That's all.

Thank you for the food!

Why are you leaving?

Aren't you here to see me?

Later. Enjoy your meal.

No. Let's talk now.

I thought you were posing as a doctor, but I guess not.

-You really saved him. -You said to.

Gosh, you listened well to that.

I think you said to leave the medical issues to the medical team.

Seems like you hold grudges.

You became carefree overnight.

You said to just say "thank you" if you're thankful.

Thank you for trusting me.

It was really scary, right?

Honestly, yeah a little.

You were scared too, right?

It's a situation that I'm quite used to.

And it kept bothering me, but I didn't have a chance to say this.

When I said that there are TV doctors, I didn't mean it.

Ignore what I said.

Well, it's not wrong.

It's wrong to include a doctor who saved a patient with a gun to her head.

Well, if you insist, I guess.

But do you think he really would have shot me?

I don't want to hear it.

Don't tell me. Don't tell me.

Company Commander!

I heard my life was saved, because of your quick judgment.

Because of that, Allah has given me more time to work.

I thank you in Allah's name.

You have chronic heart disease, so stress is really dangerous.

For the time being, you need to try ignoring stressful problems.

Of course, doctors start nagging regardless of nationality.

War is easy and peace is hard.

Perhaps that is why dictators live a long life.

It seems like I can connect more with soldiers than with doctors.

I will respect the doctor's recommendations.

Allah must have a reason for all of this.

It was an honor to treat such an astounding person.

I need to give you my gratitude. This is a small gift of gratitude.

But, since you're giving me one, can you give me two?

Since there are two of us and this one can get wet and ruined.

I guess this card is like a "Free Pass."

Give me one. I'll confirm it.

How could you use that card for a mere rental car?

You could have obtained the rental company!

Are you crazy?

I didn't know you were such a thoughtless man.

Don't you have ambition? Like there's stuff like oil!

Out here, oil can be drilled from any backyard!

If we just sold that oil--

Ah, we were his lifesavers.

That man was ready in his heart to give us anything!

Do you feel that wronged? I think I used it well.

What do you mean you used it well?

I have two hours left to return to base

and if I step on the gas, we can get there in 30 minutes.

So for the next 2 hours, I'll be on a date with you.

Wow. You're crazy. You used that card all for a date.

And who said I'd date you?

I wasn't asking for opinions.

Let's have some tea.

You should ask for some opinions.

Oh, what a waste. What a waste.

This is mine, so don't even think about touching it.

What should I use this for? Should I start my clinic in Arabia?

I should've taken a photo with him!

I would've hit the jackpot if I hung that picture in my clinic!

Why did you become a doctor, Dr. Kang?

Because I was good at the sciences, particularly math.

That makes sense.

I thought a doctor would make a lot of money.

I believe it's better to live with money than to be chased by money.

Regardless of what others say, I put in work for the return I get.

I think that setting up a hospital in Gangnam is good business.

Sorry if you think I'm materialistic.

Why do you keep pretending you are a bad person?

I convinced myself I became a doctor to earn money.

Many things happened while you weren't there.

I've changed during that time.

I think you didn't change at all, Captain Yoo.

I got more handsome, isn't it noticeable?

You joke like before.

The way you smile is more attractive.

Excuse me.

Yeah, it is me.

U.N.?

Who?

-I am sorry. -Again?

-You have to go again? -Yes. For the car, Dr. Kang--

Our dates haven't changed.

Whether it's in Korea or here.

Where are you going?

You can't tell me?

Are you going somewhere you can't take me?

It isn't like you can't go to that place.

There's nothing to gain, you going there.

Why do you always look for a gain?

The work I do...

is disadvantageous for our relationship.

Even so,

what if I want to go with you?

-Look there! -Mask.

Kimchi. One...Two...Three.

Kimchi.

It was a hard day. Get some rest.

Was he your friend?

The memorial service.

You waited a long time.

You must've been curious sitting in the car.

We were comrades.

But why?

To keep peace.

So what you're saying is that you too--

So let's not... talk about that.

Look. I told you it was disadvantageous if we went together.

Rest well.

Excuse me.

I haven't seen Captain Yoo around. Did he go somewhere?

He's at the base. Today is his disciplinary hearing.

Disciplinary hearing? What--

Didn't that work out well?

It looks like it didn't.

Military code says he'll go to prison for disobeying orders.

How could you not know this? You insisted on proceeding with the surgery.

URUK TAEBAEK UNIT MILITARY HEADQUARTERS

We can't officially punish you

for your disobedience.

But we have determined you've been good and faithful so far.

For the situation on May 18,

you will get three months of salary reduction

for not properly following regulations.

-Do you have any objections? -No, sir.

Also, you won't be able to take the promotion exam.

-Again, do you have any objections? -No, sir.

Good. That's it.

Solidarity.

How did you get caught in such a flimsy booby trap?

You little prankster!

-When did you come? -I came yesterday.

You did suffer a bit.

Don't respect me too much.

Hey.

Why didn't you start your own clinic in Gangnam?

Why did you come to this black hole?

Can you believe this guy... I have a goal too!

I'll put stars on my shoulders.

Seeing how you cause trouble, maybe I will be able to get it before you.

Oh, congratulations.

Seeing that you aren't looking for Sgt. Seo, you probably know that he left.

I met him at the airport.

No wonder. Is the airport okay?

Whose side are you on?

Well, I'm always on my country's side.

Thank you.

I've seen her many times somewhere.

Me too. Bye.

This situation arose because of me. How can I look away?

Why does Captain Yoo Si-jin have to take responsibility? He's not at fault.

Why isn't he at fault? Soldiers are to follow all orders.

You're a doctor, so you saved a life. That's what a doctor does.

Army problems are different to medical ones.

I was there so I will serve as a witness.

I'll take responsibility for the things I need to.

Look, doctor. This is not a court case. Do you not know his punishment?

Three months of salary reduction with no chance to take the promotion exam.

Can you take responsibility for these things?

Solidarity.

I am sorry. Please come out.

Hello? What are you doing now?

Why did you do something that useless?

Useless?

-Because of me, a person's life-- -It isn't because of you.

Do you think I did that to save a girl?

Do you remember the bullet wound on my body when we first met in Korea?

The first day I was assigned a Special Forces Sergeant, my senior said,

"A soldier lives wearing a shroud at all times.

As you die on an unknown battlefront for your country,

the place you lay down becomes your grave, and your uniform becomes your shroud.

You must wear the uniform with that kind of determination.

If you wear the uniform with that determination,

and are honorable, there's no reason not to be."

I owe my life to that senior.

That's when I got that gunshot wound.

I'm saying that big or small, all the decisions I make

include my comrades' honor, glory, and sense of duty.

It applies to that as well.

I made a decision upon consideration of all those things,

and I don't regret my decisions.

But that does not mean

the fact that I broke military law can be disregarded.

The military will take care of military problems.

So you should leave it alone...

Please.

My worries must've barged into your business.

I am really sorry.

Solidarity. Where are you?

Have you arrived safely?

I'm on top of the road.

On top of the world?

Road. The road.

I'm on top of the road leading to the barracks.

Are you saying that you're on the way to the barracks?

No. Just a road. A long and winding road.

Oh, let it be.

Did you see Myeong-ju?

Is that important now?

I couldn't get a promotion. And I got a pay cut.

Of course you deserve your pay cut.

How much is this girl costing you?

It isn't because of a girl.

As a soldier, I protect our citizens as the first priority--

Because that citizen was pretty.

This guy, seriously.

Did you call me just to do this?

I didn't call you in order to do this. I am doing this since I called you.

Did you see Myeong-ju?

Sergeant Seo, do you even know how much an international call costs?

How much is this girl costing you?

Solidarity.

-Okay. Good job today. -Sure.

Put your hand inside the cupboard.

A pay cut along with failure to secure a promotion,

I thought you might want some alcohol after a day like today.

What's the matter?

I just came for some water.

Then why are you just leaving?

I thought you wanted to be alone.

No. I want to be with you.

I said that multiple times.

Don't go. Come this way.

How about wine instead of water?

Expeditionary soldiers are not allowed to drink.

Didn't you bring it out to drink?

I was about to.

But now I am doomed because now there's a witness.

I'm sorry for acting up before.

I was going to apologize. Let's just say we both did.

You didn't though.

Why are you scared again?

Did I go too far again? How did you get here?

I ran here.

It's only possible to arrive at this time because it was me.

I saw you earlier, getting out of a car.

Oh, you saw.

Then why did you ask?

I wanted to hear a joke.

The uniform suits you well.

Although it's not something to say to a person who just got punished.

How do you know this is the dress uniform?

Why wouldn't I know?

Women do have fantasies about dress uniforms.

That's why I became a soldier.

Is it good?

A bit. Do you like alcohol?

I wanted to watch a movie and have a drink with you.

It could have been a perfect date.

Did you watch the movie?

No.

Why didn't you watch it?

Because it was a movie I was going to watch with someone.

And I thought about it.

The next time I watch a movie with a guy,

I should avoid a fun movie.

There were news articles about that movie until it broke ten million viewers.

But that movie made me think about you.

You must want this badly. Here.

I can improvise.

Do you know what Captain Yoo does exactly?

I went against God's will for no reason.

A dying man was dying for a reason.

Please hurry up! It's breaking.

Please save me. Please save me.

Hang in there. I'm coming. I will find you.

Who is the farewell party for?

For the Company Commander.

Captain Yoo?
