Yes.

I'm Lee Seong Hoon from 20 years ago.

Thank you for not making my life meaningless.

Chairman Oh.

You bastard!

- Get the key! - Okay!

Father! Are you okay? Jae Joon!

Father!

Get an operating room. Quickly!

Okay.

What in God's name have you done?

Father.

Please move him quickly.

I'll never forgive you. Never.

It's almost done. You can leave.

It'll be fine. Don't worry.

I'm distracted by your lurking there.

Okay.

Episode 19

How's the Chairman?

He'll be fine. That's bad news for you, I guess.

Has this been your plan all along?

Tell me!

Did you plan to kill my father from the beginning?

I didn't know he'd collapse.

Liar. Then why did you lock the door?

I didn't want any interruption.

From what? Killing my father?

- Soo Hyun... - Then what is it?

I told you already. As long as I get his apology...

Don't be ridiculous. If I hadn't gone in, my father would've been dead.

Murdered by you!

You're still a doctor. How could you do something so cruel?

A man was dying in front of you. How?

You're not a doctor. You're a murderer.

Yes. I'm not a doctor.

I'm just a murderer whose only goal is revenge.

Now that we've agreed, can you understand me at least a little?

You want me to understand?

What you're feeling right now is the same thing I felt 20 years ago when I lost my parents.

Why I had to do it... Why I had to be so cruel...

Please think about it.

You want me to understand you after doing this to me?

I can't understand.

Get out of this hospital. Right now.

Okay.

Thank you.

I don't know who did it, but the timely emergency treatment saved his life.

Damn... Jae Joon.

That weird rumor that's been going around... It's not true, is it?

What rumor?

People say you revenged the Chairman because you're the son of malpractice victims.

How nonsensical!

It's true.

What?

It's not a rumor. It's true. What?

It's not a rumor. It's true.

Jae Joon...

I'm leaving soon. This place was never for me anyway.

Do your best to be a great doctor, Chee Gyu.

What are you doing here?

I've resigned.

Then leave.

Don't ever appear in front of me again.

No, don't ever come anywhere near this hospital again.

He'll wake up soon.

Thank you.

Why did you do it?

Because I've been meaning to do it for 20 years.

So, do you feel better now?

My revenge has failed.

It didn't fail. You gave up.

Because you love the quack.

That's not true.

Don't lie.

I know you performed CPR to save the Chairman.

Tell the truth to the quack and beg for her forgiveness.

Otherwise, she'll never know what you did and resent you until the day she dies.

Maybe that's for the best. She'll be able to forget me more easily.

I'm just here to say goodbye before I leave.

You're leaving?

I won't be a doctor anymore.

Why?

I don't deserve to be a doctor.

I became a doctor to take vengence, not to cure patients.

I thought you were a stranger in the beginning.

But on second thought, the real stranger was me.

I've come to realize it thanks to you.

Doctors who don't respect the patient's life are all strangers.

If that's what you think, you should stay here.

Once you stay, the quack will come to understand you too.

I can't forgive myself.

I'll never come back to this hospital.

But I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

Soo Hyun truly likes you.

I'm sorry, but I've found Jae Hee.

I can't tell you the details, but I've found her.

Therefore I can't care about other women, let alone like them.

I must refuse your favor.

Then let me ask you this way.

Please take care of Soo Hyun as a friend.

As a friend

I beg of you.

Father! Are you okay?

What is it? Are you looking for someone?

Dr. Han.

Where is Han Jae Joon?

He's gone.

Bring him to me.

I need to talk to him.

Forget it!

Why are you looking for someone who just stood there when you collapsed?

No, Dr. Han saved me.

It's for Soo Hyun.

Bring me Jae Joon.

That can't be possible.

Now.

He didn't say anything to me...

Jae Joon!

You're lying.

Now!

Please leave a voicemail...

[Oh Soo Hyun]

[Han Jae Joon, M.D.]

Jae Joon!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

So the Chairman is recovering in the ICU.

He got seriously beaten by Han Jae Joon.

They're going elect another acting chairman soon.

They must.

The VIP's surgery is approaching. They need a leader to handle it.

You couldn't find the corpse?

The body was struck by a bullet. We must find it.

Yes, sir.

Cha Jin Soo might be alive. So be extremely careful.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

I'm burdened by the responsibilities that are put on me due to the Chairman's illness.

I promise to do my best to carry out the duties of this position until the Chairman returns.

Please find out how many doctors you need and notify the branch hospital.

And also put out hiring notices.

Okay! No...

Understood, Ms. Acting Chairman.

You don't have to speak so formally to me.

So I'm now the head of cardiology, right?

Yes.

I'm truly sorry about Chief Han.

- You may leave. - Okay.

I'm just returning to my rightful position. But why am I so overcome with joy?

Congratulations, Dr. Moon... No, Chief Moon.

Let's get this over with.

Just give me a second! I want to savor this joyful moment!

A round of applause!

Thank you!

Once the prime minister's surgery is over, our department will reap huge benefits!

What are you doing?

I worked the graveyard shift last night.

Therefore, my heart is heavy with these immense responsibilities as the Chief.

I need all of you to help me make our cardiology department the face of our hospital!

[Quack]

Where are you going?

What weird things did Jae Hee say?

Are her kidneys from her father?

If that's the case, Jae Hee truly loves you.

If she doesn't, she wouldn't have come here to find you.

What are you talking about? She knew it before she met me?

She said because of that, she wasn't sure about meeting you again.

And she said you like me...

I said I don't. I already apologized for it too.

Thank you very much for your confirmation.

I just feel like Jae Hee is trying to push you toward me.

Why did you lie to me?

Lie to you? Why did you lie to me?

Lie to you?

You knew that I transplanted your father's kidney into you for a long time.

Does it matter when I found out?

You said you just found out and that's why you can't forgive me.

And you even told the quack to take care of me.

You're doing this on purpose.

You're pretending to be angry so I'll leave you.

Yes, I'm doing this to push you away.

Why?

I told you already. I've realized that your love is hypocrisy.

Your feelings for me are just your sense of guilt and duty for killing my father.

You just dubbed it as love.

- Jae Hee... - I told you to never say my name.

Do you know?

Do you know how it feels to live with my father's death attached to my body?

I can't forget even though I want to.

It's always inside of my body. How can I forget?

Every day of my life is an agony.

And it hurts even more to think that all of this is because of you.

You still have no idea?

Then I'll make it even more clear for you. I...

I never really loved you.

Please leave if you got it.

Then what was this?

Every moment that I spent with you during this past month was unforgettable for me.

Especially that moment when you tightly hugged me in the call room.

I was really happy.

Even though I don't say it. Even though I deny it.

I felt that you've recognized me.

Listen!

Hoon, the reason I volunteered to do this alone is your mother.

If something bad happens to you after you perform the surgery

no one will be able to take care of your mom.

Look me straight in the eyes and say it.

Do you mean it when you say you never really loved me?

Yes.

Say it again. Do you mean it?

Say it! Do you mean it?

Yes, I like you! I love you.

I've never hated you. It was so hard to pretend as if I hated you!

I thought about you every day.

Every day, I only dreamed of living happily ever after with you.

Then why did you do it?

I thought I was blocking you from becoming a doctor.

I thought the only way for you to be more comfortable and safe...

Was if I let you go.

I'm sorry.

I never thought you'll be in danger because of me.

Why is it because of you?

It's because I made a wrong choice.

A wrong choice?

I'm so regreful of making that choice right now.

Don't you want to see Park Hoon?

I didn't think my choice would put you in danger. No

I didn't have a moment to think about that.

Because I missed you so much.

I'm sorry, Hoon.

I never imagined that you would be in danger.

I just wanted to have the chance to see you again. Even if it'd be just for once.

Jang Seok Joo tried to kill you and your mom?

I didn't tell you because you might worry.

I'm sorry.

No, it was stupid of me to expect him to let you go that easily.

I'm going to meet Mr. Kim tomorrow.

The secretary of Jang Seok Joo?

I think if I talk to him, there might be a solution.

DO you think it'll be possible?

At least I must try it. We must try everything.

Okay.

You want me to betray the Prime Minister?

A man like Jang Seok Joo doesn't deserve to lead a country.

I'm sure you know it better than anyone else.

I have a plan to stop him, but I need your help.

I worked in intelligence, but I'm still a soldier.

To soldiers, there's a valuable thing that money can't buy.

Do you know what it is?

Loyalty.

And that's the same for every member of the Prime Minister's security detail.

Do you think Jang Seok Joo is really aware of it?

He wouldn't have let me stay with him for 20 years if he isn't aware of it.

Loyalty.

If it's so important, then why did you save me and take care of my mother?

Were they also his orders?

I thought it was some kind of debt.

To me, this conversation never happened.

Focus on preparing for the surgery instead of getting distracted by weird ideas.

This is Jang Seok Joo.

The VIP on the line for you, Mr. Prime Minister.

Yes, Mr. President.

How are you doing?

Just chugging along.

I'm planning on visiting you tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes, I can't just sit here and do nothing while you're hospitalized.

Sure, understood.

It'll all be over soon.

[Early Presidential Election Predictions] [Prime Minister Jang Leading the Polls]

If the election occurs right now, you'll be able to get everything you want.

The very nature of elections defies the natural principle...

Which claims that the strongest one rules the world by conquering the weak ones.

It's an outhouse through which the uninformed public excretes its political desires.

This trashy public support for me isn't what I need to win.

What I need is a lot of toilet paper called money to wipe the butt of the public.

Or, I need a very interesting event that'll make them completely forget about wiping their butt.

Something like the North-South Summit?

Correct.

What brings you here?

I assume you aren't here to learn about my political philosophy.

Please release Park Hoon's mother.

And why would I do that?

Because if you don't do it, we can't operate on the president as you wish.

Is that how it'll work out?

I believe you need a carrot and a stick to make a horse run.

You can't move the person who almost died because of your tricks with threats alone.

Since the stick won't work, give him the carrot?

Releasing the mother would be enough. You can still have your men keep an eye on them.

I feel like I'm forced to make this choice.

Just remember that you have no other choice than Park Hoon.

The President is coming?

Yes, he'll be here tomorrow to visit the Prime Minister.

He might want to meet the surgery team, so you should be prepared too.

It'd be my family's great honor for me to shake the hand of the President!

No, I must take a picture with him as soon as I meet him!

[Dr. Han Seung Hee]

It's me.

Stop by my place.

What's up?

Your mother is here.

Mother.

It's a lot better than the last one, right?

Thank you.

This is Jae Hee. She's my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

She's pretty, isn't she?

Quite pretty.

You're pretty too!

Of course! She's my mom!

See you later.

You're going to meet the President?

Isn't this a great chance?

Our safety will be guaranteed once we tell the President about Jang Seok Joo's plan.

Jang's men will be present.

And the President's security detail will also be there. Can you still manage to meet him?

I'll take care of the people who will be watching me.

I need you to convince the quack.

Convince Dr. Oh?

I need her help to meet the President.

How are you doing?

I'm a bit bored to not be doing anything.

But what brings you here?

You could've called if you had anything to say.

There's someone I want to meet.

Who would that be?

Dr. Park Hoon.

Dr. Park?

Yes.

He's the doctor who'll fix my heart. I should at least meet him in person before.

He's not yet aware that the surgery is for you.

I'm worried that all our work keeping the secret would be for nothing

if the word gets out right now.

Is that so?

Then maybe I'll leave after taking a tour of the hospital.

Of course, sir. I'll let them know.

Our men are watching Park Hoon and Han Seung Hee, right?

Yes, sir.

No, we can't risk their babbling to the President. You should take care of it yourself.

Yes, sir.

What? You've lost him?

I'm sorry, sir.

Where's the President?

Hoon has a reason why he needs to meet the President.

Would it be even possible for him to meet the President alone?

I beg of you. It's very important.

What is this about?

It's not something that would hurt the hospital.

So please help him.

Is this the call room?

Yes. Please take a look.

Block him!

I'm Park Hoon, Mr. President.

You're the surgeon who will operate on the Prime Minister.

I have something to tell you.

To me?

It's only for your ears, Mr. President.

I'm afraid that's not possible. What is it?

He's fine. You can speak.

Okay.

The prime minister's surgery...

You're here!

Prime Minister Jang!

It seems like you've met. This is Dr. Park Hoon who will operate on me.

He's preparing for the surgery even though his mother is ill.

I see. Please take a good care of the Prime Minister.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, sir.

You almost ruined what we've worked for 10 years. Are you aware?

I'm sorry.

Your apology isn't enough!

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

You let him loose on purpose, didn't you?

Mr. Prime Minister...

If not, then how could you lose him?

Yes, I thought that you've been oddly protective of him.

You saved him when I told you to kill him.

You took care of his mom for 17 years when I told you to kill her.

I didn't think it was necessary, sir.

Shut up!

You also said many weird things when the prosecutors were investigating me.

I heard things from the prosecutors!

I've served you for more than 20 years, Mr. Prime Minister.

How could you doubt my loyalty...

Loyalty?

Let's be honest. Honest!

The only reason why you're still with me is to become the head of my security detail once I become president!

Mr. Prime Minister...

Then stay with me!

Once we get there, I'll forgive you no matter what you do.

But until then, I want you to focus and make no mistake!

Yes, Mr. President.

I think we should switch the surgery to Min Kook Hospital.

The surgery is next week. I'm not sure...

Myung Woo's Chairman has collapsed, and his son is in prison.

But everything has been arranged here...

I need more time to consider Myung Woo.

Do you think it was necessary?

It was a sacrifce for greater good.

I want to make it clear that this incident has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.

You also said many weird things when the prosecutors were investigating me.

I heard things from the prosecutors!

Good afternoon, sir.

Jang Seok Joo saw you?

Is there anything you told the President?

None.

Then how could you be so calm?

He might move his surgery to Min Kook Hospital.

That won't happen.

What?

The President won't get his surgery anywhere else.

There's no one other than me who can do the surgery.

What are you talking about?

I'll tell you soon. But I need your help on something.

My help? What is it?

That is...

What did you tell him?

Did something happen?

What did you say that made the President to not want to get the surgery here?

The President can't go to any other hospital.

His heart also only has a week.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't even guarantee more than one week.

It might be dangerous, but you should consider heart transplant.

If he wants to live, he needs a heart transplant.

So there must be a reason why he's being hesitant about it.

He probably has a disease that prevents the use of immunosuppresive drugs.

You told me that I'll die if I take immunosuppresive drugs.

Is there any other way?

There's the Batista Procedure...

But its success rate is too low.

So I don't have any options?

That's not the case.

There's a procedure that's most ideal for your heart shape

but it's an obsolete procedure.

What would that be?

The SAVER Procedure.

I went through all the journals published in the last decade

but I couldn't find a single case of a clinical trial, let alone a successful case.

There is one.

There's a surgeon who did the procedure.

He needs the SAVER procedure if he wants to live.

What if you're wrong?

He'll call.

Don't be so arrogant!

Yes, sir.

It's me, Prime Minister.

Yes, sir. What is it?

I think I should do it at Myung Woo.

Jae Hee.

How did it go?

The President will come here.

We're almost there.

Everything will be okay.

I guess we should tell him now.

Yes, Mr. President.

The surgery won't be for the Prime Minister.

It'll be for me.

The surgery that you did recently... The SAVER procedure.

Yes, sir.

Is the patient from that surgery doing well these days?

Of course, sir.

Do you think I can get the SAVER Procedure?

Your left heart chamber is more stretched than normal.

This is called a ventricular aneurysm...

I've heard of all these from my doctors.

Please tell me the probability of success.

It's hard to guarantee that it'll be 100%.

I hate it when doctors talk like that.

"We'll try our best." "We need to observe the progress."

They never give me a straight answer.

Only God can guarantee 100% success in surgeries.

No such thing as a presidential premium?

Once on the operating table, you're just another patient to me.

You're meant to be a doctor.

Then let's hear what you wanted to tell me before.

He has four bodyguards with him in this building.

There's another team waiting outside of the building.

How is he?

His heart is in worse condition than I expected.

Let's move up the surgery to tomorrow.

Understood, Mr. President.

Please take a good care of me.

Mr. President!

Help me... Just for a bit...

Dr. Park...

I beg of you...

[Emergency]

Let's move him.

Paging all guards!

Mr. Song.

You're aware of Article 71 of the Constitution, right?

From now on until the President wakes up.

I, the Prime Minister, will be the acting president per Article 71 of the Constitution.

Call Chief of Staff to set up a meeting with the cabinet right now.

How about the President's condition?

That should still be confidential.

Yes, sir.

What's going on, Dr. Park?

Quickly, Nurse Min.

What's going on?

Shut up and focus, punk.

Okay.

Hurry up.

We're ready.

I'll start the SAVER Procedure.

Scalpel.

What do you mean? The President has collapsed?

He's getting an emergency surgery right now.

Where is he?

He's at Myung Woo Hospital.

What'll happen if something bad happens?

Something bad?

It's an obvious question.

What'll happen if something bad happens during the surgery?

Are you hoping for something bad to happen?

Silence, please.

There's no question about it.

The Constitution is pretty clear about what we should do.

If the President is unable to discharge his duties, the Prime Minister shall act for him.

The surgery went well as you hoped.

He's under anesthesia if this BIS number is between 40 and 60.

He'll wake up when the BIS number is higher than 80.

If the current status continues, he'll be considered permanently incapable of carrying out his duties.

But if the BIS figure goes over 80 then comes back down

he'll be considered as if he's in a temporary accident.

Do you know whom my favorite king is among the kings in our history?

That'll be King Sejo.

The seventh king of Joseon Dynasty.

That guy who became king after killing his nephew.

That guy was aware of something very important.

What, you might ask?

The difference between the strong and the weak.

Being strong isn't just about being powerful.

Being strong means knowing how to properly trample on the weak!

Nephew? Things like that shouldn't matter.

There should be no room for mercy.

The principle of life dictates the strong to trample on the weak at every moment possible.

Because he didn't know that, my dear president is lying here like this!

Dude.

You should've finished me when you found out about my illegal campaign fund for the primary race.

Did you think that I'll be dragged around by you, doing everything you tell me to...

If you put a stupid dog collar on my neck like that?

Nonsense, my friend.

There'll be a presidential election soon.

Get some rest until then.

Once I hold the North-South Summit and excite the ignorant electorate

then I'll let you rest in peace forever. Okay?
