Original subtitles

Seo-jeong.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Get in there slowly.

Walk slowly.

You might get a cut on your neck.

Seo-jeong, are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

Who are you and why are you doing this in the operating room?

Who is the leader?

Who gives orders in this operating room?

That's me.

You can talk to me.

What's the matter?

If you don't stop the operation right now,

I will kill this woman.

Hey, you.

Stop right there.

Put your phone down.

You will hurt her if you do anything rash.

This is an operating room.

You can't just barge in like this.

Also, threatening someone with a sickle is

just plainly wrong.

Be quiet.

If you don't want her to get hurt,

take your hands off of him.

-Excuse me. -Stop the operation right now!

-I'm going to kill her! -No!

JEONGSEON HEADQUARTERS

This is the control room.

An armed man walked into an operation room at Doldam Hospital.

-Please check immediately. -Okay.

I'm so sorry.

We made you come here for nothing.

Our staff members searched the whole place

and found no one.

Did you look through places

where he can be hiding?

We went through both floors twice.

Everything's fine.

Yes, go ahead.

I got a report of an armed man at Doldam Hospital.

I guess someone reported the situation over there, too.

He's holding someone as a hostage at the operating room.

Please check.

Did you check the operating room?

Didn't you hear me?

Stop the operation immediately.

Hey, you. Turn off those machines.

The rest of you

can move aside. Hurry!

If you don't want to see her die,

turn off the machines,

and move away as I count to three.

If you don't, I will really kill her.

One.

Teacher Kim.

Two.

Just do as he says.

Move away from the table.

Keep your position.

Teacher Kim.

Do not make your own move without an order during a surgery.

-Remain at your post. -What if she really gets killed?

Seo-jeong.

Answer me, Seo-jeong.

Yes.

Yes, Teacher Kim.

I am

not going to stop this surgery.

Teacher Kim.

Okay.

Hey, you.

Do you think

I'm joking here?

Mr. Nam, how are his vital signs?

It's still stable.

But Teacher Kim.

Scalpel.

-Teacher Kim. -Give me the scalpel.

Do you know...

what kind of an animal

he is?

He is

a rapist. Do you understand?

I was working late to earn all the money

that I could get my hands on.

One day, he trampled...

into my house when there were only my wife and my daughter.

At that time,

my wife was

pregnant with another baby.

My daughter was...

She was...

only 11 years old.

That animal!

But...

do you know how long his sentence is?

Three years. It's because he is a first offender.

He was even released on parole

because he was a first-time offender and a trusty.

Can you believe that?

After that,

my wife miscarried our baby

and my daughter ended up

having to live with a Foley catheter

for the rest of her life.

But that prick

was released on parole. Can you believe any of that?

So what?

Do you want to punish him yourself?

The laws of this country

is just nonsense.

I have to do this.

I am

a husband and a father.

Even though

I'm a poor, powerless,

and incompetent father,

I'm still their guardian.

I just have to

do something to make him pay for what he did!

I see.

I understand what you mean.

Do whatever you want.

Teacher Kim.

However,

not until I finish this surgery.

Doctor.

How could you say that after hearing the whole story?

I'm truly sorry for you,

but I can't give up on this patient.

I have no authority to make such a decision

as I'm not a judge.

You can do whatever you want to make him pay the price.

But you will have to do that only after the surgery.

Do you want to kill this woman to save that jerk's life?

Is that what you want,

Doctor?

I will do my job.

And you will do your job. That's what I mean.

Damn it.

Scalpel.

Stop it! Don't move an inch.

Pass me the scalpel.

Don't, Ms. Oh.

Don't do that.

-Please stop, everyone! -Give me the scalpel.

Pass me the scalpel!

Okay! Fine!

I will kill all of you then.

I hope you are right this time,

Teacher Kim.

You brat!

Seo-jeong!

Stop the surgery, you brat!

What? A hostage situation?

Yes, Doctor. That's what I heard.

In the operating room?

First, move the patients who can walk

to a safe place.

Make sure no one goes near the operating room.

Was anyone hurt?

No one?

Hey, stop the surgery.

You jerk, stop it right now.

Stop it!

I told you to stop it.

Stop it!

I'm begging you, Doctor. Please.

Please stop it.

-Stop it, you scum! -Gauze.

I can't believe this!

Suction.

Okay, then.

Half an hour.

I'll give you half an hour.

This isn't a simple operation.

I need at least an hour. No, I need two hours--

Don't be absurd. I will give you 30 minutes.

If it takes longer than that, I will get my hands on her.

I'm not kidding. Do you understand?

Cops.

Gauze.

Ms. Jeong.

-Yes, Doctor. -Can you play some music?

-Pardon? -That's a good idea.

Okay.

Open it wider.

-What about the patients? -They are moved to a safe place.

Mr. Gu is guarding the hybrid room.

-What about the operating room? -It's not over yet.

I hope nothing will happen.

I hope Ms. Oh is safe.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I will treat the damaged lamina first.

Then I will conduct epidural hematoma evacuation

and find the bleeding focus.

Punch.

It's Manager Jang.

What should I do?

Should I answer the phone?

You should answer it.

It may be urgent.

Don't do anything stupid, or you'll be sorry.

Hello, Manager Jang.

Suture.

-What? -What's the matter?

It's for you.

What?

MANAGER JANG

Mr. Ham Seung-ho, can you hear me?

This is Officer Lee Dae-ho from Jeongseon Police Station.

The operating room is surrounded by the police now.

Put down the weapon and get out of there.

Who did it?

Who called the police?

No one called the police.

I think you know that, too.

-Cut. -Cutting.

Stop! Don't make a move.

Stop the surgery, Doctor.

-Cut. -Cutting.

Didn't you hear me?

You gave me 30 minutes and I still have 6 minutes left.

-Cut. -Cutting.

Stop it right now!

Ham Seung-ho. Your family is waiting for you outside.

They are worried about you.

Do you want to talk to them?

Don't be ridiculous.

You can't fool me.

Dad.

Dad, are you there?

Dad, come out.

I'm here with Mom.

I'm a bit scared.

A-rin.

Cut.

Cut.

Dad.

Teacher Kim.

My operation is finished.

You can do what you'd like.

You can kill him or let him go.

Even if he lives,

he'll be disabled for the rest of his life

because he hurt his spinal nerves.

He won't be able to walk,

and he won't be able to use the toilet by himself, either.

He will probably wish that he was dead.

Even so,

if you still wish to become a murderer for someone like him,

go ahead.

But you will lose

a lot of things once again.

You will never see

your daughter becoming a high school or a college student.

You won't be able to see her come to you saying

that she wants to marry some idiot she found.

Shut up. Do you...

Do you think that's possible?

You should protect your daughter so that they are all possible.

I think that's the role you should play as her father.

Shut your mouth!

Before I kill you all.

Okay.

This is all we can do.

It's up to you now.

Everyone, go outside.

What are you doing? Get out!

Seo-jeong.

You should get out, too.

Can she?

Get out of here

before I change my mind.

Let's go.

No matter what you choose, this is your life.

But I hope you won't lose your family because of your decision.

Teacher Kim.

Are you okay?

Teacher Kim.

You can't go in yet.

Why?

Why did you do that?

Why? Why?

Why?

What did my daughter ever do to you?

Why did you do that?

What happened?

Is everything over?

I'm not sure.

Dad!

A-rin.

Honey.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

A-rin, were you scared? I'm so sorry.

I'm fine.

Honey, I'm fine.

Honey, you should

make A-rin's favorite beef soup

and make sure she eats a lot.

A-rin.

Eat well,

and be good to your mom.

I'll be back very soon. I'm fine.

I'm sorry if you were scared. I'm so sorry.

Honey.

Don't cry.

I'm really fine.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Excuse me.

Let me see your hand.

The next time you come,

your vitamin IV is on me.

I'm sorry,

and thank you.

Doctor.

Please do come.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

She went through a lot

at such a young age.

But she still has her father.

She has a great father,

so she'll be fine.

What about you?

-Are you okay? -No.

I was scared to death.

Anyway, it's a relief.

No one got hurt thanks to Teacher Kim.

-Right? -You could have died

because of his stupid philosophy.

But wasn't he amazing?

How could he remain calm in such a situation?

I would have panicked if I were him.

There are two possibilities.

Either he's a natural born doctor

or he's born crazy.

Don't you think it was against common sense?

In a situation like that,

you should've stopped the surgery and resolve the situation.

Besides, you let everyone leave but left the patient alone.

How could you do that?

You almost let the man with a sickle

kill the patient.

Teacher Kim already knew that he couldn't kill the patient.

Right, Teacher Kim?

What if the word gets out?

That can be a reason to close this hospital.

What I'm saying is

that the ways Dr. Bu Yong-ju deals with situations are

very provocative and dangerous.

It's hard for a person with common sense to understand or accept.

That's enough. I'll just tell you two things.

First, he's not an assailant. He's a father.

Second,

don't talk about this story like a criminal case again.

Close this hospital?

Say something like that just one more time

and I'll teach you a lesson.

I'll barge into your office with a sickle. Is that clear?

I'll get back to work.

How dare he?

Hey, let me tell you something, too.

Don't call him Dr. Bu Yong-ju.

He hates that name.

He might throw a punch. You should be careful.

Then, see you later.

Wait.

Are doctors in this hospital gangsters?

Do you how worried I was?

I felt like my heart was burning down.

Were you afraid I might get killed in the operating room?

You're speaking thoughtlessly again.

You have no idea how I feel.

You just have no clue.

I guess that's why I got married

and got divorced.

Myeong-sim.

Mr. Jang, I made it clear we should call each other properly.

I'm the manager now. I'm Manager Jang.

I told you I've been promoted.

I'm tired. I'd like to take a rest.

I understand.

But what about your work?

Let the staff members from Geosan Medical Center do that.

I'm going home early.

She's so heartless.

Teacher Kim.

-What are you doing here? -I was worried about you.

You must have been shocked in the operating room.

I'm sorry.

I was so stupid to let him drag me in there.

Seriously, what's wrong with you?

I know.

I don't know what to say.

I think I'm pathetic, too.

Goodness. Don't you even understand what I'm saying now?

You were the one who was in danger.

You shouldn't be worried about anyone else.

I'm sorry?

Are you worried about me by any chance?

Gosh.

How stupid you are.

No wonder why you're working as an orderly

when you should be working as an ER doctor.

But you told me to do that.

Would you kill yourself if I told you to?

I would at least pretend to do that.

Don't smile. It makes me emotional.

Yes, Teacher Kim.

If what happened today causes a relapse of your PTSD,

you'll be kicked out.

If you overdose on your medications and make me worried again,

you'll be kicked out, too.

I mean, you should keep yourself together. Do you hear me?

Yes, of course.

Please don't worry. I'll be fine.

Seo-jeong.

You did well.

You handled it well.

By any chance, are you...

complimenting me?

Was that a compliment?

PTSD?

Try to forget what happened in the operating room.

Let's forget it.

Let's just remember his sad story with compassion for him.

I still don't understand.

What do you mean?

Teacher Kim.

What about him?

He didn't do a dura repair. What do you think about that?

I guess he didn't have enough time.

He must've thought he couldn't finish the surgery

in 30 minutes if he does that.

Still, he wouldn't skip a necessary procedure.

What are you suggesting?

I wonder

if he was in dilemma at that moment.

I'm sure he was hesitating at that moment.

Why?

That's nonsense. There's no way he did that on purpose.

Teacher Kim skipped an important procedure

because of his personal emotion?

That patient is a brutal rapist.

When I heard the story,

I wanted to forget about my oath

and stop the surgery for a moment.

Wouldn't Teacher Kim have the same feeling at all?

I don't think he felt that way at all.

I know him well as I've seen him longer than anyone else.

He would never let his personal emotions distract him.

If he was a person who would be swayed by that story,

he would've given up on the surgery

when he saw the man put the sickle on Seo-jeong's neck.

Then, why do you think he didn't do that?

I'm sure he had no choice.

In some cases, we shouldn't seal up the wound.

Besides, damaged nerves rarely recover.

Do you really think

he had no choice?

Or did he decide not to do it?

Ma'am, are you free tomorrow?

I have something to discuss with you.

Please come back with your child tomorrow.

It's A-rin, right?

A-rin.

I'm very good at treating sick people.

Don't worry, A-rin.

I promise you

I'll do everything in my power

to help you heal completely.

Okay?

Come here.

Don't worry about the medical bills.

I will

treat you for free. Okay?

Now it's fair.

I didn't make that much.

Cabbages were so fresh, so I made your favorite kimchi.

I also sent you some mandu, too.

-Six thousand won, please. -Thank you.

That's too much work. You didn't have to do that.

It's not hard. It's what I do.

I've been making dumplings for a long time.

I can do that even with my eyes closed.

Okay. I got it.

Don't skip meals.

-Okay? -Okay.

I won't.

DONG-JU

President Yeo.

We are here.

Come on in, Doctor Do.

Where is Dr. Kang, by the way?

He said he would sleep in the staff room.

He is so stubborn.

You must be tired. You may go upstairs and unpack.

These rooms are occupied.

You can choose a room you want among those rooms.

Hey.

-Hey, it hurts! -I know it hurts.

Do it gently. It really hurts.

I can't be more gentle than this.

The wound is deep.

-I should stitch it up. -Really?

-How many stitches? -I don't know it yet.

Please prepare for local anesthesia.

Okay.

Please make sure not to leave a scar.

You are in the emergency room.

I'm not a plastic surgeon.

Please.

I'm not asking too much.

Okay.

Let me numb it up.

Stay still, you punk.

I'm sorry.

Why does it hurt so much?

Are you

really a doctor?

Why? Do you think I'm a quack?

You're not?

You should be honored to be treated by me.

The one and only surgeon

with a triple board. He was known as a legendary surgeon.

He is a failure as a human.

Simply put, he is a psychopath.

Someone calls him a psychopath.

And...

Please stop, everyone.

Keep your position.

Please don't do that.

I am

not going to stop this surgery.

As a doctor,

he makes me feel so small.

What are you doing here?

What about you? What are you doing here?

What do you think I'm doing? I'm on call.

Give him a tetanus shot

-and send him home. -Yes, Doctor.

Goodness.

What?

Do you want to tell me something?

I almost punched you

in the operating room earlier today.

He pulled a weapon on Seo-jeong's neck.

How could you keep your cool like that?

What makes you think like that?

You seemed cool, at least to me.

If I gave up on the surgery,

things would have gone even worse.

Someone could have died or at least gotten severely wounded.

I could barely keep myself in control.

I just tried to

wrap things up without anyone getting hurt.

You are showing off again.

The technical term for this is bluffing.

In fancier words, it is romantic ideals.

Romantic ideals?

Do you know anything about romantic ideals?

I'm nothing without my romantic view of life.

-You didn't know? -Not at all.

-Never. -I understand.

Dr. Kang is too smart,

calculating, and selfish

to see that.

Are you looking down on me again?

It's not a compliment.

Why do you hate me so bad?

Hey.

I don't hate you.

I just feel uncomfortable to see your inferiority complex

and self-accusation.

You always struggle to hide it.

You can't stand being defeated because of the complex.

It is disgusting.

I'm trying my best to do a better job.

Does that bother you so much?

Hey.

You just care about doing a good job

without thinking the meaning of it.

What's the point of being a doctor then?

Please wake me up if any patient comes in, okay?

-Okay. -Doctor.

Bye.

It still hurts.

Gosh.

Teacher Kim rarely leaves the emergency room.

He even spends more time

in the emergency room than in his house.

This is the emergency room of Doldam Hospital. Yes.

Okay.

-What was that? -There is a car accident patient.

He will arrive in five minutes.

It's okay.

-Don't wake him up. -Pardon?

I will take care of it.

Hi.

I have something to say to you.

This is embarrassing.

Hey, In-beom!

Didn't you hear me?

I don't have anything to tell you.

I do.

I don't want to hear it.

You are being touchy.

Hey. What you said is not true.

You and I don't have any blood ties.

President Do and my mother

were just old college friends.

It seems

President Do once had a little crush on my mother though.

But she was with another man.

And that's my father.

I haven't met him even once though.

He abandoned my mother even before I was born.

Do you expect me to believe that?

You have to. I'm telling you the truth.

Since then, President Do helped her when she needed some help.

As a friend.

After my mother died,

he paid for my education and living expenses.

Of course, he did as a guardian.

If you want to lie, you should be more creative.

I once thought

that President Do might be my birth father.

I wished he was my father.

I desperately hoped that.

But unfortunately,

it didn't happen.

-What is your blood type? -My blood type is B.

My blood type is B, too.

Hey, 27 percent of Korean people are type B.

Do you have any other evidence?

Did you get a DNA test with my dad?

I don't have to.

If you want to make sure, I can do it with you.

Do you want to do that?

Do you really want to do that?

Why? Are you afraid?

You are dragging me to a dead end.

Okay, then. Let's do it.

But you will have to pay for that.

I don't have any money for such a stupid thing.

He just can't believe me.

Is it you?

Are you the one who made my dad like that?

Are you?

Let go of me, please.

How much money do you want to extort from us using my father?

CT scan and what?

Hypothermia?

Excuse me.

Let me explain about the treatment, please.

A president of a conglomerate underwent the treatment--

Maybe the president was rich enough to afford that.

We don't have any money for that.

That treatment is not even covered by insurance.

The material cost is already 1.6 million won.

And the CT scan and the ICU? What a fraud.

Please calm down and let go of me.

Doctors are all swindlers.

All you do is talking nonsense just to make more money.

Hey!

I think you are decidedly mistaken.

I get paid here,

and doing a CT scan doesn't give me any more money.

We just did that because it was necessary.

Also, we even got his guardian's consent before starting everything.

I'm his guardian. Whose consent did you get?

I asked them to do it.

After all, we have to save him.

Hey, do you think he'll live?

Didn't you see?

Can't you see that he's suffering?

-Hey! -Forget it.

Stop his treatment immediately.

Stop it right now before I sue you for overtreatment!

Sir, that is an overstatement.

Dr. Yun.

Don't step in. You'll get hurt.

It's true that the patient isn't doing so well.

But he is not hopeless.

The brain scan proved it.

If we have one percent of hope,

shouldn't we do our best?

That's for those who are more fortunate.

We don't have money.

We work day to day to make a living.

What if he passes away?

The rest of us will spend our entire life paying back the hospital.

Stop it.

He's not going to wake up! What's the use of keeping him there?

You jerk.

You are such an ungrateful child.

Am I wrong?

Do you have the money to pay the hospital bill right now?

Your father

spent his entire life making a living for you two.

Can't you do this much for him?

Is he

someone who should be treated like this by you?

Mom.

I know. We don't have any money.

That darned money.

That money we never had and we never will have!

But I still want to give him

one last chance to open his eyes.

I don't care if it's just for once.

-I wish he would. -What if he does wake up?

Even if he does,

he'll be in bed for the rest of his life!

How can you handle that?

We'll somehow manage.

Is that so?

Fine.

You're so cool, Mom.

I don't care, then. You two can take care of this.

You can take care of the hospital bill, too.

Do you think I'm saying this for me?

Mom, don't worry. I'll do everything I can.

Don't worry.

Is she Dr. Yun?

Yes, Doctor.

I see.

Where is Dr. Bu?

He's probably in the president's room.

Has it begun already?

What did you say?

I need to hear more details

about yesterday's account in the operating room.

Was there any problem during the operation?

Did you put the patient

under any risk during the process?

We will make a written report about the account.

One more thing.

I also heard one of the doctors here has a history of PTSD.

We are also here to investigate whether Dr. Bu

knew about this.

What are you talking about?

Why does Dr. Yun have to be psychologically tested?

I'm not sure.

An investigator and a neuropsychiatrist came today,

and they wanted to see Teacher Kim and Dr. Yun.

Why is Seo-jeong getting tested?

It was ordered by Geosan Medical Center.

Don't ask me.

Who told them about this?

What are you saying, Dong-ju?

Are you

taking Dr. Bu's side?

I'm disappointed.

This is not about taking sides.

You're using Seo-jeong to get rid of Teacher Kim.

Get a grip, you idiot!

You shouldn't be worried about anyone else.

You should worry about yourself.

You have a history of PTSD.

I completely recovered two years ago.

Really?

You and Dr. Moon got into an accident together five years ago.

What was your relationship with him?

How did that accident happen?

It's because of you.

Dr. Yun.

Please answer me.

I died because of you.

Please answer.

Did you overlook the fact that Dr. Yun has

a history of PTSD?

What do you really want to know?

I'm a busy man. Stop beating around the bush.

Tell me what you want.

Why did President Do send you two here?

We're conducting an investigation.

Dr. Bu Yong-ju.

Keep your manners, will you?

Are you here for me or this hospital?

Are you here...

for both?

Mr. Jang.

Manager, Dr. Kang. I am Manager Jang.

-Do you have the number? -Pardon?

The number? Whose number?

It says that you recently hurt your wrist.

How did you hurt yourself?

What happened?

This is important. Please answer me.

Dr. Yun.

Push her until

she confesses.

May I really do that?

Many people already know that you are

Dr. Yun's guardian.

I also heard something from Dr. Moon before.

I do not feed

a dog which tries to bite me.

Push her as far as you can.

I don't care if she loses

her certification as a doctor.

Let me ask you again.

How did you hurt your wrist?

It was my mistake.

What kind of a mistake are you referring to?

I accidentally took an overdose

of nervous sedative.

Every single thing you say will be very important.

Again, in the worst-case scenario, you might get disqualified.

Please choose your words carefully.

I understand.

However,

I still can't lie

to get out of a situation.

I am still...

a doctor.

What are you doing?

I have nothing more to say. You can do your thing.

If you refuse to be investigated,

you may be put at a disadvantage.

Isn't that what you want?

No matter what I say, how I cooperate,

or not cooperate,

the result will be the same.

So stop bothering me.

Just do as you want.

-Excuse me. -In fact,

don't touch anyone else.

Don't drag innocent people

into this like a coward. Okay?

Dr. Bu Yong-ju is disqualified from any medical practice as of now.

Until we hear a reasonable explanation

about what happened in the operating room yesterday

and the fact that you ignored Dr. Yun's condition,

you'll be suspended.

You agree, don't you?

You brought this on yourself.

How did it go?

Where is Seo-jeong?

She's being tested

by a neuropsychiatry specialist from Geosan Medical Center.

What's going on?

Why are they investigating us

and what's with the psychological test?

Teacher Kim.

Here you are.

You're back already.

I heard you were being investigated.

I don't think it's over already.

I told you so.

You should have listened to me.

You're not good enough to operate on Chairman Shin.

Look how it ended.

Because you were stubborn,

you're going to lose another one of your favorite pupils.

Goodness. I feel so sorry for you.

You little...

Teacher Kim.

You have a visitor.

A visitor?

Hi, Teacher Kim.

I'm here.

You said I should be hospitalized.

Just as you ordered,

I delivered your message to him.

Why are you still standing there?

Show me the way to my room.
