Original subtitles

Do you know everything they did?

Not all of it.

How much do you know then?

Administrative Director came up with the plan.

Chairman's son wants his dad dead.

And Dr. Ahn is also involved.

I think they set you up to fail and also wanted to take you out.

What are you not sure of?

The traffic accident.

Was that just an accident?

Will I die?

Will I die as punishment

for what I did to you?

It's a V-fib. Get the defibrillator ready.

We're charging.

Charge. 200 joules.

Everybody, stand back.

His pulse has returned.

Is this the patient who suffered a decompressive craniectomy

and SDH removal?

Yes. He had acute SDH from the accident.

He's the patient who received emergency surgery

to alleviate his hypoxic damage and diffuse axonal injury.

He's no longer in a critical state. The hard work begins now.

Regulate his norepinephrine

and make sure his blood pressure doesn't rise.

Check his urine levels every hour and use a diuretic if needed.

Yes, Doctor.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

Doctor.

I'm very sorry, Doctor.

I was waiting by the road as you were returning to the hospital.

I was only going to hit your bumper slightly.

I was told to keep you preoccupied.

That's all they said I had to do.

The hospital's legal team officer

was a client of the private investigation firm I worked for.

They promised me that if I did that

they'd give me a big payout. I did it for the money.

Doctor.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Doctor.

You were the one

who was behind all this.

He's staying alive longer than I thought.

You look healthy as well.

Dr. Jang seems to be taking good care of you.

You bastard. Damn you.

Life is so random, you know.

Nothing goes as planned.

I'm not as bad as it may seem.

They keep making things worse.

I hope

you'll hang in there as long as possible.

A long illness will wear down a family.

Let's see how Dr. Jang handles it.

Se-jin.

I'm sorry. Did I make you wait long?

No, not at all. I heard there was an emergency.

Is the patient okay?

Luckily, the patient has stabilized.

-Thank you for all your hard work. -No need to thank me.

I'm part of the hospital faculty.

You said you wanted to talk about the chairman.

That's right.

Even though I'm a visiting doctor, I'm still a staff here.

Here I am, asking other people how my dad is doing.

I saw the news that my dad woke up from his coma,

but my brother won’t let me see him.

By any chance…

Wait. Don't say it, Se-jin.

…is he not recovering well after he woke up?

-Se-jin. -I was told that he woke up

but I don't know anything other than that.

I didn't know you couldn’t see him.

I'll look into that right away.

There's another matter, too.

Do you know why Dr. Cha left the hospital

after operating on my dad?

What are you talking about?

-You texted me, asking to meet. -That…

I don't know the exact reason.

I presume it was something important

seeing how he left a patient behind.

Is that so?

See you later.

They drew you out of the hospital first and then planned an accident.

The accident itself wasn't intended, but the start of it was planned?

What was so important that you left the hospital?

It's a private matter, so you don't need to know.

What's your reason?

Doctor.

Will I die?

Mr. Doctor.

Can't you save me?

Seung-jo, I'm sorry to tell you

but I'm not a surgeon yet.

Find that mean doctor

for me.

My doctor…

I said I hated him.

That's why he left me.

But I don't hate him.

So can you please bring that doctor back?

Tell him I'm sorry.

I won't be rude to him again.

Please ask him to do my surgery.

I can't die.

That would make my mom sad.

Yes, Brother.

What is it?

Mommy!

Seung-jo.

Where were you?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I shouldn't have gone out.

No, it's okay.

It's all right.

The boy asked the nurse where Dr. Cha went.

The nurse told him Dr. Cha went far away. He thinks it's his fault.

He thinks he'll die if he's discharged without having an operation.

It breaks my heart to see the kid.

Is this how things usually are at hospitals?

Sometimes.

I'm a doctor. I'll eventually die whether or not I enter your body.

But…

I'm not going to die like this.

It's infuriating.

Let me do it. Give it to me.

It's better to be a hidden genius than a useless moron, isn't it?

I can't watch people die. It's not my style.

-Let me borrow your body. -Let me borrow your surgical skills.

We have a deal?

-Hold on. -What now? What's wrong?

There seems to be a breakdown in the hierarchical system in the hospital.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Is that another new suit you own?

Yes, it's brand new.

I buy two suits every season.

That's where you splurge your money.

Why are you talking to me? You said no talking.

First, when we're around other people, don't talk to me.

And don't do something that will get a reaction out of me.

Like telling me my shoelaces are untied.

Be extra careful when there are CCTV cameras.

You know I'm being closely watched here.

Are you afraid that they'll find out you can see ghosts?

And then be ostracized by everyone?

I can't get on the board. Have you met a doctor who sees ghosts?

You're walking too close to me. I need room for my long stride.

Your stride isn't that long. I'm being careful to give you space.

Gosh, look at the time.

Why you!

Second, be careful not to touch me accidentally.

Keep your distance from me and avoid bumping into me.

That tone again.

You're getting on my nerves.

Let's be careful now. I can't dodge you when you come like that.

All right, you punk.

He's a character.

Why do you need a coat?

The coat completes the suit.

Did you steal it?

I don't borrow other doctor's gowns.

Gosh, why didn't they wash this?

DR. CHA YOUNG-MIN, CARDIOLOGIST

Third, don’t tell the other ghosts that I can see them.

Why not?

You really need to ask?

My muscles are tense.

Heart surgeons need stamina.

You're hanging out with him a lot.

You two are friends now?

But you wouldn't do any favors for us.

I know.

You shouldn't play favorites.

All you need to do is possess his body.

If we could talk to the young doctor, I'm sure he would do those favors for us.

That's just his personality.

I was meaning to ask. Did you receive special training?

You don't need to know about that.

Unpack your belongings.

You don't have to leave the hospital.

Seung-jo will get his operation.

Doctor!

Hye, Seung-jo.

I'm also here.

It really is you. You're not wearing a mask.

You told Seung-jo you'll operate on him?

How could you handle the operation when the other doctors can't?

You'll handle that complicated operation?

I never said I would do it.

If it's not you, then who will?

Dr. Ahn?

Are you crazy? How could you let Dr. Ahn do it?

Dr. Ban won't allow me to do such a complex procedure.

Dr. Ahn can't handle that operation.

We'll make him do it.

Seung-tak.

Are you aware of how complicated this is?

Age seven. Patient is Oh Seung-jo.

Suffers from atresia of the pulmonary artery.

Has ventricular septal defect. Received BT shunt at three weeks old.

Performed Rastelli procedure.

Stenosis in the right ventricle-endotracheal tube.

Corrective surgery was scheduled but it was delayed.

Liver functions have weakened due to that. Pleural effusion has also occurred.

You have a terrific memory.

It's not easy.

Of course, it's not.

None of my operations are easy.

That's why the patient came to Dr. Cha. Because it was hard.

-Oh, boy. -But…

I think you could handle it yourself. You're known for having a steady hand.

-What? -He's right.

Seung-jo has Kawasaki disease. Since he was four.

-I guess you didn't know. -You didn't?

Seems like you didn't know.

Well, that's…

A condition where he suffers from inflammation, right?

It usually inflicts children aged three or four.

And it produces a lethal complication.

That's correct.

When the coronary artery dilates, blood will pool there.

That could cause a clot, in which case, myocardial infarction can happen.

So that has to be addressed using CABG.

So we'll have to use a CABG.

Why are you interrupting me?

So you know.

Stenosis in the right ventricle-endotracheal tube is common,

but it's complicated when you introduce CABG.

On top of that, the patient is young.

Right. You have to use an internal mammary artery underneath the bone.

If adhesions occur, it's very difficult to just peel them off.

It's going to be hard

just to peel off the internal mammary artery underneath the bone.

The endotracheal tube is also stuck to the pleural wall,

which makes it hard to peel off.

The adhesions are severe,

and the internal mammary artery is difficult to peel off.

The left anterior descending coronary artery

is hard to pinpoint due to adhesions.

It's not a typical CABG.

Due to adhesions, a second operation is extra hard.

The patient is also young.

Opening the chest will be very complex.

The incision will have to be very precise.

So you have to do it slowly. You can't open up the chest all at once.

You could lose the patient even before you have the chest open.

Since the pleural tube is stuck to the endotracheal wall…

Why would the pleural tube be stuck there?

It's the endotracheal tube that's stuck to the pleural wall.

If you do the dissection wrong, then opening the chest…

Why would you start dissecting?

-You have to open the chest first. -So you open the chest at once.

What the? Are you crazy?

You have to be precise and do it slowly.

After the dissection, the coronary arteries…

We're talking about the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Left anterior descending coronary artery.

-So what I'm saying is… -So what I'm…

Where did he go?

How could you talk like that nonstop?

Take a break, will you?

You punk.

Why are you getting mad when you couldn't follow my directions?

Why didn’t you tell me about the Kawasaki disease earlier?

You should've studied that beforehand. It's written on the chart.

I told you not to enter my body whenever.

I wasn't the only one to blame this time!

What?

What are you doing here?

I mean,

how can you just barge in here like that?

You should knock before you enter.

You have no manners.

We're not a good team.

What?

I don't know why you're being stubborn about this.

But I can't handle this operation.

Don't give the family false hope. Have the patient discharged.

Dr. Cha did this surgery two years ago.

You were his first assistant then.

A patient like that comes along once in a lifetime for a doctor.

It's a very rare case.

A patient like that comes along once in a lifetime.

It's a rare case.

I succeeded in doing the complex surgery. The first in Korea.

You were a part of that historic achievement.

I trained you and you were very diligent.

More so than anyone.

I know you've been in my shadow for a long time.

And that put you at a disadvantage compared to your peers.

You're up for senior doctor promotion, aren't you?

This would be a good opportunity

to overcome the botched tamponade.

Will he take the bait?

I know Dr. Ahn well. Just be patient.

He'll take it.

You said before

that I don't have the right to treat patients.

You gave it your best.

It was a gamble to approach Dr. Ahn.

If he doesn't agree, don't be so disappointed.

Seung-jo's not my patient.

What?

I don't know why he likes you.

He grabs your coat all the time.

Hey, so you don't have a Dad?

You just live with your mom?

My mom says

your dad left your mom because of you.

That's right.

Your mom couldn't pay the bill, so she cried.

You boys!

How dare you bully someone at a hospital?

Do you know who I am?

I'm Cha Young-min.

I'm the best doctor in this hospital.

Do any of you have a doctor

who is better than I am?

You don't, right? But he does.

Seung-jo is my patient. Get that in your head.

Understand?

Understand?

-Mommy! -Mommy!

You're smiling?

Yes?

911 RESCUE

Fall down injury from three meters high. Patient has severe chest pain.

I think he fell on top of a sharp object.

-This way. -Mental status?

And most importantly, you can only possess me

when it's necessary and I agree to it.

You can't come from behind and enter my body.

Got it. But how will I know when I can enter?

We'll use a sign.

-I'll wave like this. -I'm not a pet.

That's not cool.

How about this sign?

I'm not hitching a ride on the road.

How about this?

I'm not a gangster. That looks like I'm picking a fight.

Okay. I got it.

-What? Have you gone mad? -You lying piece of crap!

You were having an affair in the mountains?

Who was it this time?

What's her name?

Ma'am, you can't do that.

You used to play pool all the time but now you switched to hiking?

Look at what happened to you after meeting your mistress?

Oh, gosh. You no-good husband.

You lying piece of…

-Hey, come on. Hurry. -Die.

Why did you come back alive?

-Ma'am, we can't do that here. -You rotten husband.

Don't. Ma'am, let go of my hair!

Come on! Let go of me!

I'm not the one who cheated on you.

Let go.

Why are you pulling my hair?

-Intern! -The patient's blood pressure is falling.

Let go of me!

-Sir! -Let go of my hair!

Sir. He's unconscious.

What's the meaning of this?

I'll save his life, so kill him afterward.

Step outside. He's in safe hands. Intern, take her away.

-Okay. -Dear.

-Dear. -Ma'am. Please come with me.

-His X-ray and CT. -What?

We have them.

Here you are.

His ribs got fractured and they punctured his aorta.

His blood coagulated and blocked his vessels.

Then it burst again.

His wife is one tough lady.

-What should we do? Operating room? -We don't have time. We'll do it here.

-Again? -Gloves.

You promised me a senior doctor position.

Dr. Ahn, you don't see the gravity of the situation you're in.

How can you bring that up after ruining the plan?

You had one chance to do it right. Why didn't you complete it?

You backstabbed your mentor when you agreed to our terms.

Don't you see that?

If you operate on Seung-jo, I'll be your first assistant.

-What? -I'll back you up.

You know I have skills, right?

You saw me operate.

Seung-tak. I heard you saved another patient.

Be honest with me now. Who is training you?

-You can tell me. -He got an aorta operation.

So regulate his blood pressure to prevent it from rupturing.

Keep it between 100 and 120.

What?

What?

Dr. Ahn, you're lucky we're in an operating room. Get out of my sight.

-If you do something like this… -Sun-ho, I gave you an order!

Regulate his blood pressure.

What? How could you tell me he's here?

What's the matter?

The husband of the woman that had an affair with the patient

is on his way here.

Why would he come here? He says he's going to kill the patient.

-What? -And also the doctor.

-What? -The husband is a gangster.

He already created a commotion at ER.

Call security.

I already did.

Doctor, you can't just leave like that.

Koh Seung-tak.

So you're the quack who saved that bastard's life?

Do you know me?

Why you!

Wait a minute! Let go of me.

That quack!

Hold on.

Wait a sec. Let go.

I'm going to kill that quack!

Do you know how much this watch costs? Let go.

Let go of me.

-Our deal is over. -Let go of me.

My watch. Come on!

-That's my line. -I said it's expensive.

Get off me.

Send me CCTV footage

of Dr. Koh every day.

What? Every day?

Hey!

You're the one who broke your promise first.

You said we have to agree beforehand.

I got my hair pulled.

Right here.

It was your hair, not mine.

Anyway, I did what you asked. Time to do me a favor now.

You demanded all sorts of terms. I only asked for one.

Your cooperation to uncover the truth.

What?

You're upset over getting punched in the face? Come on!

Yes, Brother. What is it?

Really?

Doctor, I'm getting an operation tomorrow.

That's great.

We'll schedule it at 8:30 in the morning.

There'll be a few tests given today.

He mustn't eat anything after midnight.

Okay, Doctor.

Check his liver levels and make sure it stays steady.

Get permission from the Anesthesiology Department.

Sure, Doctor.

We'll make Dr. Ahn do the operation somehow.

And you'll be with him.

-Then what? -Then…

you take over and put your skills to work.

Seung-tak keeps amazing me.

Is he trying to be some kind of hero?

Because of your blunders, you're giving Seung-tak

more chances to prove himself and succeed.

I'm sorry.

Seems like you suddenly got ambitious about advancing your career.

Without any prodding, you stepped in and took on Dr. Cha's patient.

Have you become desperate as the senior-doctor hiring is near?

I have to look out for myself.

I betrayed my mentor who I trained under.

So I've got nothing to lose.

Well, if you want to prove your skills,

then be my guest.

In that case, I'll support your promotion.

Now the other matter.

How is the chairman doing?

Is there anything to be concerned about him?

No.

Just proceed as usual.

And don't leak his condition to anyone.

Especially be careful around the doctors.

Good luck

with tomorrow's operation.

Thanks.

It wouldn't bother me if you failed tomorrow.

What are we doing here? It's your office.

No. I have to see someone.

Please.

Please save my brother's life.

I'll come up with the money to cover his treatment.

You need to talk with the administration office.

You can't do that here.

Nobody there will listen to me.

Please, I beg you.

-Please. -Come on, now.

Please.

Please.

That's my sister.

Please don't cry.

Both of our parents died. So it was just the two of us.

She's a high school senior and gets good grades.

I wanted to put her through college.

But I can't afford the tuition.

I started doing food deliveries by motorcycle.

I came down with the flu after overworking myself.

But I didn't see a doctor.

I just took some cold medicine.

After taking it on an empty stomach,

I didn't feel well.

Then…

At first,

I thought I was lucky to be admitted to this hospital.

But nobody came to see me.

Nobody is looking after me.

My medical bill is probably huge.

Please save my life, Doctor.

If you save my life,

I'll reveal the truth.

And serve time for what I did.

I can't let my sister fend for herself.

I can't go like this, Doctor.

Please, Doctor.

Dr. Koh.

Please help me.

What are you doing there?

What business do you have here?

I needed to find out something to transfer a patient.

I was taking a short break here.

Playing a mobile game.

See you.

That's the guy. He did this to you.

He also has a doctor helping him.

Then was he the one

who was knocking on the door?

The chairman doesn't seem to want you

to see him in his frail state. He can't walk properly.

He has refused visits from everyone except his son.

He also looked depressed

so I've contacted the Psychiatric Department to have them see him.

Don't worry too much.

He'll ask to see you soon.

I see.

You are always so kind.

But I'm concerned that you're spending all your time at the hospital.

How about I take you out to dinner? To get some fresh air.

I'll be working late today.

Don't you dare ask her out.

Thank you for the offer. But maybe next time.

I'm exhausted today.

Sure then.

Let's try another time then.

If you want to support the medical staff,

you need to know what goes on around the hospital.

Start from the bottom and learn as you go.

How could you discharge a patient because they couldn't pay the bill?

How could you do that?

It's not even a lot of money.

Take it out from my salary!

You're on an intern's salary. You can't keep saying that.

How will you support yourself?

I don't have time to eat anyway.

I don't mind sacrificing for a patient.

Take it out of my salary!

I still have some left.

Thanks to you, I still have a portion of my salary.

So that's part of my 12-month installment plan.

Thank you.

-Wait. -Yes?

You have something stuck on your hair.

It's my lunch.

I was a little hungry.

You're a very nice person.

You'll have good fortune.

Thanks again.

What is it?

Talk to Dr. Lee if it's not urgent.

Ma'am, are you okay?

Dr. Ahn, hurry.

What is it?

Hey Seung-tak!

Dr. Ahn had to see an emergency patient in ER. So I came instead.

I usually don't do favors like this.

One injection and three checks a day.

Right?

That doctor is very diligent.

He always does a routine check four times a day.

Let's see.

This is norepinephrine. It's a drug treatment for his heart.

This is lasix.

A diuretic.

Tell them the patient needs monitoring.

Dr. Ahn said the patient had to be closely monitored.

The doses will vary depending on his blood pressure and urination.

He's being given seven micrograms of epinephrine per hour.

The patient is getting seven micrograms of epinephrine per hour

but how much could it be now?

If I don't regulate the dose,

the patient's heart might stop or he could bleed.

He might even open his eyes.

What?

I told you this would work.

What will it be? Should I just leave?

No. Come in.

You're really going to inject that?

Of course.

If I don’t inject him, the bodyguards will get suspicious.

You're invisible, so it might not matter to you.

But it matters to me.

Can't you see them watching?

You're distracting me. Get out.

Hold it right there.

What you're doing is very reckless.

It's very troublesome.

Use this.

There's no place in this hospital where I don't have access.

Then should I ask the patient if I should give him the dose?

You're being insolent. Show some respect to the chairman.

I need you to get out!

-Give it to me. -What?

-I said give it to me. -No.

What are you doing?

Please excuse me.

He's good at acting.

What was that?

You scared me!

How did you come out of there?

If my half-brother learns that I came here, you'd get fired.

I know his personality.

You better not stop me from coming here.

Don't fear losing your jobs.

I won't put that in jeopardy.

Have you changed your mind?

Well, the situation has changed.

I could unlock it with his fingerprint.

I remember Young-min

as someone who had a strong sense of duty to his patients.

I wondered

what could've compelled him to leave before his patient woke up.

It was me supposedly.

The one who asked him out.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU BEFORE I GO. WAIT FOR ME AT THE SPOT

One of the people behind this used me to draw Dr. Cha out.

Why aren't you revealing

what you know, Dr. Koh?

I stay away from complicated stuff.

And I don't have evidence.

But…

there is a witness.

It's the motorcyclist who collided with Dr. Cha's car.

If he wakes up, he might be a key witness.

I'll take over this patient's care.

Can I see his chart?

Will she be all right

to be involved in this?

I'll be helping her.

And keep her out of harm's way.

I know her.

She's a brave woman and won't stand for injustice.

She won't listen if you try to dissuade her.

I'm really curious.

What is it between you two?

It's a private matter. You don't need to know.

I'm curious about something. How were you able to see ghosts?

You think I'll answer that? You really have to ask?

Are we friends now?

He's pouting now.

He's so petty.

I didn't answer because I don't know

what relationship we have.

I really don't know.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Seung-jo.

You'll be brave and strong, right?

Yes.

I'll be strong.

-Let's go. -Okay.

We're going to the brain MRI room, right?

One, two, three.

Ahn Tae-hyun.

No…

Seung-tak.

Seung-tak!

Can you hear me?

Come out, Seung-tak!

Please…

No.

-Can we begin? -Yes, you can start.

Age seven. Patient is Oh Seung-jo.

Correcting the right ventricle-endotracheal tube

with the help of CABG.

Scalpel.

Excuse me!

Where is Tess?

Whoever tells me first gets a favor!

-ER! -ER.

ER.

Yes!

Hand me the bovie.

Oh, no.

Are you crazy?

I'm not supposed to put my hands down to the ground.

I almost touched the ground.

Why did you ask for the bovie?

Wasn't that my job?

Go out and wash your hands.

Okay.

Oh, gosh. What an imbecile.

I'm sorry.

Please give us a moment.

No, it's nothing.

Where is he? What's the hold-up?

Soo-jung, are you crazy?

How could you let the patient drink water ahead of emergency surgery?

Why didn't you give him his lunch while you were at it?

It wasn't me who gave it to him.

But it was my mistake for not telling the family

that he mustn't have water.

I'm sorry.

Are you giving me an attitude?

No, I'm admitting my mistake and reflecting upon it.

I'll excuse myself.

It's always the pretty doctors who cause trouble.

I know.

What's the point of mopping the floor when someone will get it dirty?

Who was it?

It was you!

Why are your shoes so dirty?

-What are you doing? -Why are your shoes muddy?

-Wait. -Stay still. Let me clean them.

Hey!

Tess!

We have an emergency.

What are you doing?

Do the suction now.

Hey!

Not there.

Isn't it here?

I can't see where it's bleeding.

Avoid the blood.

To the side!

Here.

Who are you again?

Where are you?

Please.

Alright.

Pull the army navy retractor.

Pull it back more.

More.

More!

Do it right!

Oh, gosh.

Sorry. I'm late, aren't I?

-What's up, man. -What the? Are you crazy?

Then what sign will we use?

You can't even do that?

Bad teamwork.

We're in the operating room, right?

Let's go.

Who was that?

What?

What am I doing here?

-Bovie. -Let me pull it back. Give it to me.

Oh, no.

The right ventricle-endotracheal tube has burst.

How will you solve this?

Hand me the Prolene 5/0.

The tube and bone are close to each other. It can't be sutured.

Give me the bovie.

Come on. Stop the bleeding.

Are you going to let him bleed?

Bovie.

That's enough. Another Prolene 5/0.

Move aside. We're changing places.

What's the meaning of this?

This is a 12-hour operation.

The easiest part was dissecting the adhesion.

You barely handled that step,

so it's obvious the next steps will overwhelm you.
