[Episode 17]

A truth that cannot be punished by law...

A truth that only depends on the the moral conscience of others...

I came running towards the truth to hear that one word of apology.

This area is bigger than I thought.

Point the light on it properly!

Yes, sir.

Are you drunk or something, you punk?

Don't even think of coming into my operating room again.

I'm sorry.

- Oh, it's bleeding. - Suction.

Call for some more blood.

We need more blood urgently.

You need to keep going.

She's in shock.

Her blood pressure is dropping.

- Let's open up her stomach. - Okay.

She's going into cardiac arrest!

Get the blood in now.

I don't know how my life changes once I find out the truth.

[DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE HEARING]

We will now start the disciplinary committee hearing for Yoo Hye Jung

who has dishonored Gookil Hospital by failing to care for Congressman Na.

First, I would like to thank you.

I realized through this incident

that I'm important enough to dishonor this hospital.

Personally, I am honored.

Doctor Yoo Hye Jung, you are Congressman Na Min Soo's physician, yes?

Yes.

Why didn't you answer the call when the congressman was in pain?

I was operating on a patient with an aneurysm.

I asked another fellow to keep an eye on him while I was in surgery.

Why are you bringing up the other fellow?

It's a problem that you passed off your duties to another person.

Did you have to do that surgery at that time?

She was my patient who came in as an outpatient.

You could say she was like a patient who had a time bomb in her head.

I could not delay it any longer.

Then, are you saying you don't think you've done anything wrong, Doctor Yoo?

Yes.

I am thankful to the hospital for thinking of me as an important person.

However, I believe I acted appropriately in that situation.

Isn't it so unfair?

Why does Doctor Yoo have to be punished?

Yeah, what about Doctor Jin?

He lets his daughter get away with it.

How are people without powerful parents supposed to live?

Do you know what they call things like that?

What, what, what?

Oh! You scared me.

Hello. You're here.

Why are you acting strange as soon as I get here?

Not at all.

Why would we act strange to you, Doctor Jin?

What is it, Ahn Joong Dae?

We were just saying...

We're just all heartbroken about Doctor Yoo getting punished, right?

Go and check Lee Tae Shik's dressing.

Okay, I will.

Doctor Jin Seo Woo.

Director Jin would like you to come up.

Come in.

Are you still mad at me? Why are you avoiding me?

Aren't you supposed to be in the disciplinary committee hearing?

Doctor Yoo has presented her case.

We're going to make a decision after lunch.

I'm going to present this when we do.

Why didn't you say that Professor Hong was your high school homeroom teacher?

And that the burn on your body was because of Doctor Yoo?

Cover this up.

I don't want my name mixed up in this.

Why would you hide a good card like this?

I called you in here to praise you.

I think I've been too hard on you lately.

What am I to you?

Last time it was a stick. This time it's a carrot?

I don't want to hear praises from you anymore.

I couldn't sleep at all after I hit you.

Don't you know how much I love you?

So, don't do it.

This is shameful for me.

Do you know how long I was in pain because of this?

If you reveal this, I'm just going to die.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm sure I'll be disciplined. It's just a matter of how.

I'm organizing my things.

Do you think it's because of me?

Yes, I think it's your fault.

Because you passed on my calls to Young Gook.

But thinking like that won't solve anything.

- So, I don't actually think that. - What, then?

I was unlucky.

I was nervous there for a moment.

You're a person with anger just like me.

It's only normal that you resent me.

I guess you are different, Yoo Hye Jung.

Did I hurt you in some way by not being resentful this time?

Do people around you all get resentful in situations like this?

Yes, people around me all react that way.

Don't criticize me because I'm not like those people.

Does it seem like I'm criticizing you?

Even in the past, I wasn't critical of you.

I always wanted to be like you.

It must be nice to be so great.

I heard you held a disciplinary committee.

Yes.

Did you have to go so far? You should've kept things quiet.

We have to put them in their place.

The employees have no fear at all.

Be careful.

Things keep happening here and there. I don't feel good about it.

I feel like it's been like this since that time.

Back then.

When we let the National Tax Administration

into the hospital to get Doo Shik.

Everything is fine, Dad. You're getting weak.

I wouldn't be here in this position if we hadn't done that.

All right. Do a good job.

Yes, I will.

The disciplines we can give are warning, pay cut, suspension, and termination.

In regards to Yoo Hye Jung, I believe a warning will suffice.

This was out in the media. How can we end it with a warning?

She is not even sorry for her action. She must be fired.

If a doctor is terminated for this

there will be a backlash against the hospital's disciplinary system.

This was not just Doctor Yoo Hye Jung, but the entire Neurosurgery department.

I don't think it's right to place the blame on one person.

Professor Hong, aren't you letting personal feelings cloud your judgment?

Aren't you the one letting personal feelings cloud your judgment?

This punk isn't picking the phone.

Have you all eaten yet?

Have you done a CT for Kim Soo Kyung?

Ah, I'll do it right now.

What about the phone? Why haven't you been picking up?

This department is a mess because of you.

Get it together.

Did you forget again? Where has your mind been?

You can't even do your job properly. Should you be acting like this?

Should you?

Oh! Why isn't he fighting back?

Give it a rest now.

Kang Soo is having a hard time.

He liked Doctor Yoo a lot and now she's leaving because of him.

I'm going to keep doing it more and more.

This happened because you are all so lazy.

It's been a long time.

I had been waiting. You finally called me.

I feel good that you're greeting me so warmly.

It must have been hard coming all this way.

Would you like something to eat? It's my treat.

No, it's fine.

Thank you for your kindness though.

What I would like to know is if your previous offer of a deal is still good.

Of course, it is.

[HONG HONG HONG]

Yes, Doctor.

I have two good news items and one bad.

Do you want to hear them now?

Tell me now.

I want to hear the good news first.

I'll tell you only one of the good.

- Why? - You have to work for the good things.

You should be like the Giving Tree again.

I miss Daddy-Long-Legs.

No, I don't want to be.

I'll give you one piece of good news.

I'll give you the results of the committee hearing.

It's better than hearing it from someone else.

Yeah, okay.

What's the bad news?

The committee hearing results.

It's a one month suspension.

It's shorter than I thought it would be.

You were really cool today.

I was really proud to be your boyfriend.

I was glad that you were leading the questioning.

It didn't feel like I was there to get disciplined by Director Jin.

I wanted to show you how much I've grown during all this time.

For the other good news, we'll have to go to a different location.

Deal.

What's going to happen to my patient, Lee Hye Young, if I'm not here?

What are you doing here? You're not on this case.

Your patients are my patients. We always shared like that.

You don't have to be sorry to me.

I adjusted her fluids.

Hey, it's only a one month suspension.

Take care of her while I'm gone.

[KANG KYUNG JOON]

- Kang Kyung Joon. - Yes?

Did you do Lee Soon Jin's dressing properly?

I told Kang Soo to do it.

Is "I told Kang Soo to do it" a new, trendy phrase?

You'd better pull yourself together.

She got an infection. Do your job properly!

- Yes. I'm sorry. - Is being sorry enough?

I'll go check on her.

People under you do whatever they want because you're this way.

The first year screws up and the second year runs away.

Since when has the Neurosurgery department been this way?

Kang Kyung Joon, you still call yourself the chief?

Professor, it's all my fault.

Kyung Joon hasn't done anything wrong.

Be quiet, you punk. Why are you butting in when he's talking?

I'm sorry.

I'm getting in trouble because you act this way.

What have I done so wrong to all of you?

Where were you? Why didn't you answer your phone?

I was doing Kim Soo Kyung's CT.

It took you this long to do that?

How come nothing improves even though I yelled at you earlier?

You still call yourself a doctor?

Why are you quiet?

You always have lots to say. Why are you quiet?

Just quit if you're going to act this way.

Doctor Yoo got suspended because of you.

How many more people have to suffer because of you...

Just stop!

I said I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that I can't say a thing.

What can I possibly say?

- Kang Soo! - Kang Soo.

Choi Kang Soo!

Kang Soo! Bring an intubation set.

Okay.

- Check his vitals. - Okay.

Kang Soo, Kang Soo!

Choi Kang Soo!

What do you see?

It's a meningioma near the sphenoid bone.

It's very large too.

That's right.

It's located near the optic nerve and the motor nerves.

He could lose his sight or he could lose movement in his hands.

Now that I think about it, he took a lot of medicine for headaches.

Kang Soo really hates being in pain.

He gets bruised easily too.

He said he could drink a lot, but he passed out after that one shot.

What's with all of you? You all just witnessed it.

There are a lot of you.

I wonder if Kang Soo's awake.

Are you okay?

Lie down.

Are you embarrassed?

It is a bit embarrassing.

You should've said something if you were sick.

You... it's really hurtful, you know.

What are we to you?

How long have you been sick?

Is this your first generalized tonic-clonic seizure?

I'm not sure.

When did the headaches start?

It was hurting right here behind my eye.

The pain is at about a 7 out of 10.

Our Kang Soo is in a lot of pain.

Is your eyesight okay?

Joong Dae, I think my eyesight in my left eye is getting worse.

I have absence seizures too.

Kang Soo, did you know you had a meningioma and absence seizures?

Was the Congressman Na phone call related to your absence seizures?

I had an absence seizure when that VIP nurse called me.

I didn't know because I had no memory of it.

Just rest for now.

- You should all come with me. - Okay.

Young Gook, Joong Dae.

I'm sorry.

Rest.

Gosh...

You have to go to work tomorrow. Is it okay to be out so late?

I'm unemployed right now, so I like going out late.

You're very quick at adjusting.

You've already found a positive to being unemployed?

I've found one already, so I'll find more during the month.

I guess I'll be very busy hanging out with my unemployed girlfriend.

Do you not like that?

No, I like it.

Okay, now please tell me the other good news.

I'm really looking forward to hearing about it.

I'm going to drag it out longer to keep you in suspense.

- You're home early. - Hey.

No matter how much you complain, no place beats your home, right?

I decided to enjoy it since I can't kick you out anyway.

Where's Aunt?

Oh, she went back home.

She was actually getting construction done.

I see.

Your department must be going through a rough time.

Ji Hong must be suffering the most.

Doctor Yoo is tough.

Even though she's being disciplined, she'll get over it fine.

Resting for a month isn't a bad thing.

How did you end up liking Ji Hong's girlfriend?

I don't know.

Hey! Meet another woman.

Your uncle will introduce you to the prettiest girl I know.

No, I haven't liked someone like this in a very long time.

I suppose you're right. It isn't easy to feel love for a person.

How bad is it?

Uncle, you know how much I hate politics.

I know. I hate it too.

She makes me want to become a hospital board member.

Why?

I don't ever want her to be disciplined again.

Ji Hong should be worried.

When I would come fishing with my dad...

I would want to go home right at moments like this.

You mean when the fish weren't biting?

No, I don't like long silences. They don't suit me.

I have to be doing something.

But now, I like being here doing nothing.

I think I know why my dad liked fishing.

Why is it that people understand each other

more when we're apart than together?

Be good to each other while you still can.

Be good to me while I'm still here.

Yes, sir.

The other good news.

Section Chief Kim Chi Hyun wants to make a deal.

What did he request in return for the anesthesiology records?

I didn't accept any requests from him. I offered him a different path.

I'm waiting for him to accept it.

If he doesn't accept it, I'll make him accept it.

I'll do it.

You take the records I get, meet Director Jin, and get an apology.

Then you can rid yourself of this.

Your grandmother...

Your grandmother once got on her knees and begged me.

She asked me to take care of you.

I wish I could meet her and ask her if I'm doing well.

You are doing well.

Do you know what this is?

You always had that on your bag.

It's a keychain from our apartment before my parents' accident.

My parents... they died an unfair death.

They missed out on their golden time because of others.

I really wanted to destroy the entire world.

Our family was really happy.

My grandma and I were really happy too before her surgery.

I don't believe in tomorrows.

Only today and this moment are important.

We could die tomorrow.

What your grandma wants is for you to be happy.

She wouldn't want you to give up today in order to dig into her death.

To me, that is how I live today.

That's why I've respected it and helped you.

It's almost over now.

- Hey, you're here? - Yes.

Joong Dae, are you finished with the dressings?

Yes, I'm done.

Isn't there anything to do? I'm so bored.

You got much better in one day.

Go rest in your room.

Chief, is there anything I can do?

No.

- What's with him? - I don't know.

He's been acting weird ever since we saw your CT scans.

[PROFESSOR HONG JI HONG]

Yes?

Sit.

Hey, that MRI you showed me turned out to be yours.

- Yes. - Why, you little...

Let's operate.

The tumor is pressing on the optic and oculomotor nerve.

I'm not going to be too reckless in my surgery.

Professor.

If something goes wrong, will I not be able to be a surgeon?

Let's not think about what could go wrong.

[PROFESSOR JUNG YOON DO]

You need to have surgery now.

Yes.

I want to do a total removal.

If something goes wrong during removal, I could have vision loss.

You're not seeing double vision yet. That means you're okay.

Since it's you, I'll specially make time this week.

A night surgery is okay too.

Tell me when is good for you.

[JUNG YOON DO]

[HONG JI HONG]

I saw the MRI. You need surgery.

I think subtotal removal is better than total removal.

You're not saying you're going to operate, are you?

- Should I do it? - No, it's not that.

Actually, that's what I'm here to talk to you about.

[SECTION CHIEF KIM CHI HYUN]

Have you thought about it?

You're not very patient.

I believe these things should progress quickly to get better results.

I should push like this in order for you

to feel like you were obligated to give in.

Is working at the Seoul location really not possible?

No, it is not.

Then I will think about it a bit longer.

I still have options with Director Jin Myung Hoon.

Take your time to think about it.

It's an issue that will affect your next 20 years.

Gosh, I'm tired.

You're working a lot.

Kyung Joon, schedule in Kang Soo's surgery.

Okay.

Professor Hong Ji Hong also told me to schedule Kang Soo's surgery.

- Really? - What?

You didn't tell Professor Hong that I'd be doing it?

He came to work, saw the MRI, and told me to prepare for surgery.

I thought the two of you had already discussed it.

Okay.

I think Doctor Kang Soo's surgery is getting complicated.

Where is Doctor Kang Soo anyway?

Chief!

Why have you been avoiding me?

Who says I've been avoiding you?

You weren't there when I woke up either.

Sorry.

I hit you on the head a lot.

Why are you acting like a regular person?

You're a doctor.

Kang Soo! Here you are.

What were you doing?

I was looking into how the surgery is done.

Who is going to do your surgery?

Professor Hong? Professor Jung?

You sure sound excited! What's so great about getting surgery?

Who's going into Kang Soo's surgery?

I don't like it when you guys act so serious.

Who's going to come into my surgery?

Hands up.

Gosh, you guys are going to hurt my feelings.

The other doctors are lining up to operate on me.

What's with you guys?

How can we shave off your hair?

I can't shave it off myself now, can I?

No matter how often people got on your case...

you never gave up on your style, our Kang Soo.

I'm a second year, so I can't go in the operating room.

S... s... sorry.

Gosh, that guy.

Your food is ready.

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

Hey! I told you to stay home.

I've been home all day long.

Have you heard from Teacher Hong?

Yes, he's coming here.

There he is.

- Oh! Teacher. - Hi.

It's so hot. Can I get a cold beer?

Just a moment.

You look like you're in a good mood.

I'm here to deliver a gift.

Could it be...

It is.

[KANG MAL SOON]

I've done everything I can for you now.

Thank you.

I want you to be free of your grandma's issue now.

That's the best gift you could give to me.

You sure are good looking.

Neurosurgeon, Choi Kang Soo.

Let's do it. Let's do this!

Yes?

Come on in.

Did you bring the anesthesiology record?

Yes.

I'll analyze it for you.

At 12:15 p.m. during the surgery, the inferior vena cava ruptured.

- It's bleeding. - Suction.

The abdomen was cut at 12:30 p.m.

- Let's open up her stomach. - Okay.

She went into cardiac arrest at 12:50 p.m.

She's going into cardiac arrest!

Table death at 1:20 p.m.

Excessive bleeding caused her to arrest.

That caused her to die during surgery.

I can tell that much from this record.

Then, I will tell you something as a specialist in this field.

Using laparoscopic surgery on stomach cancer was experimental.

Laparoscopic surgery was not common back in the year 2003.

It had just been introduced.

I don't think they had mentioned using laparoscopic surgery.

The strange thing is that they didn't cut into the abdomen right after the rupture.

There was so much bleeding.

Would that have been the doctor's decision?

I don't really know.

You should ask the lead surgeon.

My opinion is that this was using a new method of surgery he was not used to.

So, he ended up hitting the inferior vena cava and causing a rupture.

If he had made the right call to open up the abdomen quickly...

I think the bad outcome could've been avoided.

The lead surgeon definitely made the wrong judgment call.

Doctor Yoo, aren't you suspended?

I am.

You come even when you're suspended. You're a passionate doctor.

Today, I'm here to submit the assignment that you gave to me.

Don't you remember me?

I was Kang Mal Soon's guardian 13 years ago.

Let's go inside.

I was waiting to see when you would come to me.

You knew who I was?

You've been going around revealing who you are everywhere.

Isn't it strange to think I wouldn't know?

We even spoke on the phone once.

So you pretended not to know even though you knew who I was?

There was no point in acknowledging you.

You might never have come to me like this.

If you were a reasonable person, that is.

Don't speak casually to me. Please use honorifics.

There is no reason why I should be spoken down to by you.

Don't drop honorifics with me.

I don't like feeling like we're somehow close.

You said this to me 13 years ago.

If I could prove you didn't do your best, you'd receive punishment as I saw fit.

So, what?

I mean...

What of it?

This is proof.

How does this prove that I didn't do my best?

Did you explain to my grandmother what laparoscopic surgery was?

You said you'd cut her abdomen.

You didn't mention any new surgery methods.

Laparoscopic surgery allows us not to cut people open.

It's a good surgery that causes less pain for the patient.

It was the latest technology at the time.

It wasn't about money and the fact that it wouldn't take up insurance money?

If you come out this way, I cannot converse with you.

How could there be a table death with a stomach cancer surgery?

There was clearly an error.

There's a difference between an error and not doing your best.

One can do their best, yet make a mistake.

Are you still saying that you did your very best?

Why do you think I left you alone even though I knew you were after me?

Because you weren't in any danger.

The statute of limitations has passed.

You wouldn't get hurt even if it were exposed.

You know very well.

We make many mistakes while operating on patients.

You should've grown up now that you're a neurosurgeon.

How can you still have the emotions of a high school student?

I knew who you were, but I never harassed you.

I've given you opportunities.

You're saying you did nothing wrong in regards to this surgery?

I made a mistake.

However, I did my best.

So, I have no reason to be punished by you.

But... I will apologize.

Mistakes are wrong too.

Then, we are no longer indebted to one another, right?

You solve everything on your own.

I created the problem, so I should solve it.

Doctor Yoo, you've been dating Professor Hong lately, right?

He's a great catch.

Think happy thoughts and live. Life is short.

I was too naive.

I underestimated you, Director.

You really are something.

I thought an apology would be enough.

Now that I got that apology, I find myself even more offended.

I expected a beautiful apology as a victim of a person like you...

but I was wrong.

Go and ask Professor Hong. He will tell you the same thing.

Anyone who has somewhat lived will tell you the same.

I will leave for today.

Do not come again regarding this issue.

It would be even better if you didn't come back to the hospital at all.

Do you want to work in a hospital that I run?

Fine.

I'll go through the law that you're so afraid of.

Did it go well?

Do you know any lawyers?

Really talented ones?

Why do you need a lawyer?

I need to know if I have enough for a lawsuit.

Did he not apologize?

He did, but he didn't mean it.

I want to destroy him.

How could he not care at all?

I thought the anesthesiology records would be the end, but they're not.

No, I have proof now, so I'll try everything.

Can't you just stop?

Director Jin said you'd do this.

That Professor Hong would say the same thing.

He said anyone who has somewhat lived would say the same.

Does my looking into this seem like childish emotions to you?

I...

I just feel like you're focusing on this and destroying your present life.

Don't change the topic and answer me.

Do you agree with Director Jin?

Why are you attacking me? I'm on your side.

Why are you acting like this to me?

It's because I'm angry.

I feel like no one in this world understands me.

Even you.

I'll introduce you to a lawyer.

Do what you want to do.

I'm being punished for making you go to a disciplinary committee twice.

I'm getting surgery. See you in a month.

I'm sorry I can't be there with you.

I'll visit you later.

You're very well-prepared.

You already got ready for the surgery?

Who did you choose?

I want you to do it.

Okay, I'm happy you chose me. Why did you choose me, though?

I saw my MRI.

There's a high risk of my vision being damaged.

Yes.

To be frank about it...

it won't affect your life too much.

But it could be the end of your career as a neurosurgeon.

The surgeries we do are minute.

It's fatal if you have vision issues.

If that happens, I'd rather die.

Kang Soo.

Being a neurosurgeon is not the answer to life.

No, it's everything to me.

That's why I chose you.

Professor.

My brother and I only have each other.

I'm the head of the household.

Ever since I was very young...

I had a dream of being a cool doctor like you

and that's all that kept me going.

That dream...

I thought that I had only a few years until it would become reality.

What is this?

Other people manage to get where they want so easily.

Why is my life so hard?

[SUNFLOWER LAW FIRM] [ATTORNEY AHN MYUNG KYU]

I heard about it from Professor Hong Ji Hong.

Yes, you heard over the phone.

This is the surgery record.

This is scan of the anesthesiology record.

I said this over the phone already.

For something that happened 13 years ago

neither criminal nor civil cases are possible.

The statute of limitations has passed.

Isn't there something we could find if we look hard enough?

The statute of limitations doesn't make that possible.

Anything would be good.

Isn't there anything I could do legally?

If you were this desperate, what were you doing for 13 years?

You should've come 10 years ago.

It's been a long time. You haven't been coming by lately.

I've decided to accept the beagles.

I noticed Kang Soo chose you.

You chose a total removal, didn't you?

You know me.

That's why you got rejected.

- Doctor. - Yes.

I came by to see Kang Soo before surgery

but he said he wouldn't do it today.

Why?

I don't know. I was going to find out.

- Kang Soo. - Section Chief.

Sit, sit, sit.

- How are you feeling? - Pretty good.

So why are you putting off your surgery?

Ah, because my little brother is supposed to come and he's not here yet.

I want to see him before I do it.

You never know.

Something might go wrong and I might lose my vision.

Nothing will go wrong.

That's why I said you never know.

It's become a habit.

I always imagine the worst case scenario.

It's not just you. I do that too.

This surgery is a fight against time. You have to hold on for 12 hours.

Both you and the surgery team.

Brother!

It's my little brother, Section Chief.

Hey, Choi Hyung Soo!

Salute!

Choi Hyung Soo. I've been ordered to go on leave.

Salute.

Did you eat?

I haven't eaten.

Bro, look at this.

Ta-da. I'm a licensed Korean chef.

I'm going to do Western food and Japanese food too.

Do you see that?

- Do you see it? Do you? Do you? - I do, I do.

You little punk... What kind of guy talks so much?

- Kang Soo. - Yeah?

Will you no longer be a doctor once you get surgery?

Who told you that?

No, it's nothing. I was just asking.

I think my older brother is the coolest guy in the whole world.

Do well in surgery.

I like you whether you're a doctor or not.

You got that?

The surgery will take a long time. You should sleep.

Kang Soo.

I'm sorry for causing trouble and worrying you.

When have you ever done that?

Let's see your face.

What a good looking face.

Ouch! That really hurts.

Oh! Do you already have a six pack?

Oh, stop it.

Wow, you must be working out a lot.

- I have been a bit. - You must be.

Don't you have surgery today?

I do. I'll watch a bit and go.

Are you going to watch for all 12 hours?

I suppose I'll be coming in and out.

Everyone will have to do a good job.

Gown, please.

Today's surgery will be a war against time.

Let's try to be strong along with the patient during this long surgery.

Number 20.

Suction while I go.

Scissors.

CUSA.

I have to go take care of something.

Bipolar.

Cottonoid.

Irrigation here, please.

Wipe my sweat.

That's good.

Ring curette.

I'm removing it.

Take this.

Is there any way we can start?

No, the statute of limitations for criminal and civil has passed.

Nothing can be done.

I thought about it.

The surgery record is different than the anesthesiology record.

That means one of the two was manipulated.

Isn't there a penalty for manipulation of medical files?

Health Care Law, Section 88.2.

A maximum of three years in prison or a 20 million won fine.

This has a statute of limitations, as well.

When were these files changed?

Probably back then.

This won't work either.

Also, you said that this matter was settled with money.

There isn't anything you can do legally.

Would anything change if it hadn't been settled?

At the very least, your sincerity would not be in doubt.

When money was accepted, wasn't that in agreement to stay quiet?

Hold on.

Seo Woo looks very tired.

Go in and switch with her.

Let's start again.

Give me the ring curette.

Doctor Jin Seo Woo.

I'll stand in your place.

Why don't you step out and take a break?

No, I'm okay. I want to do it.

You look very tired.

No, thanks. Why don't you have some water?

I'll have to go to the restroom if I have water.

The tumor is wrapped around the blood vessel, so it's weakening.

- We can't use the CUSA, right? - No.

Dissector.

Give me the ring curette.

I did it.

Bipolar.

Good work.

Let's take a break and finish up.

They finished the surgery.

It's done, Doctor.

Let's finish up.

I made a mistake.

But I did my best.

So, I have no reason to be punished by you.

[HONG HONG HONG]

Yes, Doctor.

Were you sleeping? Did I call too late?

No.

Kang Soo's surgery went well.

I thought you might be curious.

That's a relief.

But I knew it would go well because it's Kang Soo.

And because it was you.

What's wrong with your voice?

Did something happen?

Yes, something happened.

A lot.

You're here?

Yeah. Can I come in?

Yes, come in.

Did it not go well with the lawyers?

I thought wrong all along.

I should've reported it right after the surgery and sued.

You weren't even 20 years old.

How would you have prepared for a lawsuit?

The statute of limitations has passed for both criminal and civil cases.

It's over.

I tried to inform the media and they won't even listen to me.

I waited until I got stronger.

I finally became stronger.

There's nothing I can do.

If you had lived your life doing that, you wouldn't be where you are now.

Do you have to make that point right now?

Yes.

Yes?

I don't want to see you falling into this and ruining your life.

Do you think I'm doing this to ruin my life?

Hye Jung.

Did you think a person like Director Jin would change if you found evidence?

Did you think he'd give a heartfelt apology?

He did apologize. He just had no sincerity.

Is that an apology? That's no apology.

That's giving a kid a candy because she's crying.

He doesn't even consider his foes.

A sincere apology should come with suitable compensation.

Apologies are not hard.

People don't like giving the suitable compensation.

So I'm going to make him give me that compensation.

What? What are you going to do?

I'm going to kill him.

In order to catch a monster, I have no choice but to become one.

I'll kill him for you.

I don't want you to go to prison.

Give me time.

I can't have people around me suffer because of me.

Give me time to organize things.

Because I might rot forever in jail.

You really are smart, aren't you?

Do you think I'll give up if you talk like that?

You're smart too.

Because you understand what I'm trying to say to you.

Doctor.

There was some time between when your father passed out and when he was found.

Isn't it strange to you? I think it is.

There's something there.

Have you looked into it?

I did. It wasn't much.

It was nagging at me too.

But I'm not going to fall into that.

I'm not giving up on eating, being with you, or being with patients.

I know that's what my dad wants too.

How do you know what he wants?

Except for the odd cases

all parents want happiness for their kids.

Revenge, destruction, punishment... I don't get caught up in that stuff.

Time is precious just doing the things I love doing today.

To me, there is no tomorrow.

I thought the world would change once I found out the truth.

The world does not change.

[DOCTOR CRUSH]

I want to take my wife off life support.

I want to let her rest.

Did something happen with you and my dad?

Talk to your dad about it.

Once we find records of that slush fund, this fight will be over.

Doctor, what is it?

I think we should stop this.
