What is this?

The photo of the grave, too...

Dr. Jung Ji-tae's father,

Dr. Jung Han-su, left the records.

Dr. Jung Han-su?

A legendary infectious diseases expert who I respect the most.

DR. JUNG HAN-SU KOREAN

But I found something new while reading

one of his old articles again.

Scroll down.

-Mom? -Look at the next photo.

VICE DIRECTOR CHOI GYEONG-IN

TAEMIN CANCER HOSPITAL NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT

NO SEARCH RESULTS FOUND

The number you have called is not available.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Ms. Seo, this is Choi Gyeong-in.

Why can't I reach you?

Please call me right away when you get this.

Mr. Chairman.

How could you do this to me?

Did you think I wouldn't know

if you publish an article secretly like this?

Tell me

why you did it.

Tell me!

-It was for Taemin. -For Taemin?

Telling the whole world about this is for Taemin?

Did you plan to get rid of the director like this?

No, sir.

I just wanted to make you realize your misjudgment.

What? Misjudgment?

You are falling for

the director's sweet talk and giving him everything.

Taemin's reputation may be ruined because of one person.

The director is a top medical expert in the world.

He's not someone you can judge!

I've devoted 20 years to Taemin. Do I mean nothing?

I'm Taemin's vice director.

I have the right to make--

The position of vice director is too much for you.

But I appointed you to that position

because I thought it was adequate compensation.

Was the position of vice director

that undeserved for me?

I've done everything for you.

Even things I should not have done.

So what?

Are you trying to be condescending?

I'm sorry, that was not my intention.

If you cause trouble again,

you will leave Taemin entirely, not just the hospital.

This is my final warning.

Uncle.

Yes?

What are you thinking?

Why did you get rid of the meetings?

Why are you silencing the doctors?

I'm not silencing the doctors.

I'm trying to prevent time-consuming debates.

Did the director ask you to get rid of the meetings?

In case we talk too much?

-Rita. -Why else would you be so--

Just focus on your own work!

Uncle.

None of you know your place

and just attack each other!

You and the vice director are the same!

You don't think about me at all.

Are you okay?

I have to go.

Really?

Yes.

I've never seen him like that.

I had no idea.

I'll ask the chairman to get a medical examination.

Don't worry too much.

Okay.

And I'm sorry, too.

You got scolded by my uncle because of me, didn't you?

It's okay. It's just one of many scoldings

I've received over the past 20 years.

I remember what dad used to say.

He said you did nothing wrong

but my uncle always yelled at you.

I see.

Mom really liked you, too.

She said you were pretty, upright and smart.

I miss them so much.

They were so good to me.

Your mom treated me

like I was her little sister.

DIRECTOR LEE JAE-UK

May I help you?

It's been a while, Dr. Park.

I am sorry to interrupt.

I'll come back later.

Is he upset about canceling the meetings?

Perhaps.

I'll talk to him later.

Are the other doctors upset as well?

More than I thought, yes.

You've seen it at other places before.

It will die down

if it doesn't affect their business too much.

I'm sorry for making you come all the way here again.

No, not at all.

I had other matters to tend to anyway.

I'll show you something more impressive than yesterday.

Shall we?

First, you need to calm down.

It's really complicated, like a badly tangled thread.

If you pull at it rashly, it may snap.

So unravel it slowly and carefully.

Unravel what? How?

Don't show Dr. Jung the photo of Director Lee.

I don't think he has seen that article yet.

Which means he doesn't know about that photo,

or about Director Lee.

He'll be shocked if he sees that photo.

Not only is the director there,

but he hasn't aged a day.

That's right.

Don't let Dr. Jung know

there are infected people out there.

Just ask him about the relationship

between your parents and Dr. Jung Han-su.

Until we can trust the director completely,

you need to be very careful with him.

The story he told you doesn't make sense.

By the way,

you've never seen your dad's face before, right?

I'm so glad the article said they were married

or we would never have... Actually, that's not true.

He looks just like you.

I could tell right away that he's your father.

I'm telling you, it wasn't like that.

Come on. Of course it is. You even shared a room...

Shared a room?

Watch what you say.

And you were looking lovingly at him

and touching his face like this.

You can't talk your way out of this one.

Look, what happened was--

Speaking of which...

-Hey. -What?

It's gone. The thing...

What?

The suture! On Dr. Park. It's gone.

What suture?

It was a small scratch and it healed,

so he took the bandage off.

A cut? A small cut?

When you ripped it off last time, the sutures...

What on earth are you talking about?

Hey.

Rita.

This is your father,

Dr. Jung Han-su, correct?

Yes.

You found out.

He's a world-renowned infectious diseases expert.

The viruses that he discovered

saved many lives.

Thank you for saying that.

Then do you

know these people, as well?

They were probably my father's mentees.

I was only three or four years old

when he was active in his research.

So I don't know anything.

They were a married couple.

Are they Hyeon-seo and Seon-yeong?

Are those their names?

Yes.

I've seen their names in my father's journal.

I'd like to know what he was researching with them.

I'd like to see your father's journal

and the records he kept in it.

Are you snooping around my research material now?

I'm sorry, but I need to know.

You have no right.

I partially do.

This couple who worked with Dr. Jung Han-su

were my parents.

That's so sad.

I saw him in the cafeteria just yesterday

and he seemed so happy.

He said he may become a chief soon.

How could he have died overnight?

-Who? -Hi, Dr. Yu.

You know, Dr. Lee

from the infectious diseases department.

What about him?

On his way home after drinking last night,

he fell from his parking lot and died.

You want access to the research my father conducted

with your parents?

That sounds a bit far-fetched.

This research is like family treasure to me.

Who shares their family treasure with others?

You're right. I'm asking for a lot.

But if anything, I'd help you in the research.

I wouldn't harm it in any way.

I'll be fully satisfied with being an assistant.

The research would belong entirely to you.

Give me some time to think about it.

Sure, take as much time as you need.

You haven't heard, have you?

-What? -Dr. Lee of infectious diseases

fell from his parking lot last night and died.

How did it happen?

He must have been drunk.

He was admitted to Ward 21A with liver cancer.

He also has Guillain-Barre syndrome,

a very rare nervous system disorder.

His paralysis is caused by damage to peripheral nerves

and his symptoms are very similar to yours.

He can't even get up.

This is him before his stage two drug infusion.

How is that...

Today is three days after the stage two infusion.

The new drug is making the nerves regenerate naturally.

We only realized it this morning,

which is why I asked you to come.

He no longer has convulsions.

With continued infusions and treatment, he'll be able to stand soon.

Yes.

Yesterday's sample was limited to treating cancer,

but this shows the effect on the nervous system

so I really wanted you to see it.

So this is what you meant by a utility of vaccine.

That's correct.

Whether it's before or after a disease manifests,

this antigen can free you from all diseases.

Don't you think

I can receive an experimental infusion by now?

Please

wait just a little bit longer.

-Dr. Choi. -Yes?

Get the blood collection kit.

Where are we going?

21A.

-Pardon? -We'll look into the infection

and the drugs they've been getting.

But the infectious diseases department and New Drug Development Team...

You still trust them?

Come with me.

We're going to draw patients' blood.

Dr. Jung, did you get approval?

No. I'll take full responsibility, so don't worry.

Dr. Jung!

Dr. Jung!

Dr. Jung.

I won't let you take the blame, so don't worry.

It's not that I'm afraid of being blamed.

I'm afraid you'll suffer the consequences.

If I must, I will.

You think it's strange too, don't you?

About Dr. Lee of the infectious diseases department...

Sure, it can be a coincidence,

but he died days after joining the director's side.

More importantly,

I can tell you as someone who has been drunk many times.

No matter how drunk you are, you would never fall from

a place you are very familiar with.

What are you, the CSI?

Everything about it is suspicious.

Every little thing.

What's going on?

Say something before you leave. Goodness...

You can't leave. Please wait here.

-Move. -You cannot leave.

What should we do?

You cannot take any blood without authorization.

Give me the blood and leave.

-Move. -I said you cannot leave.

Since when did security interfere with doctors' medical practice?

You are in violation of protocol.

I don't care about protocol.

If you keep this up,

we'll have no choice but to use force.

Move.

You use force for every little thing!

Exactly.

And

are doctors trespassers? Spies?

That's exactly what I am saying.

Please don't do this, Dr. Jung.

You look like you're really about to strike me.

Go ahead. We'll take care of things here.

You've lost your mind.

Take care of what?

Please go, Dr. Jung.

Then we'll go and make some coffee.

This is my final warning.

-Give us the blood and-- -I will

give you my final warning.

Move, or you will all...

What do you think you're doing?

Dr. Jung Ji-tae, hand over the blood samples.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

Mr. Chairman, we have the right to examine...

Dr. Jung Ji-tae, with all due respect,

please give that to me and let's go somewhere to talk.

Mr. Chairman.

Dr. Yu, keep quiet.

How could the people I respect the most at Taemin

do something so outrageous?

And in front of patients and staff no less.

None of this would have happened

if New Drug Development Team disclosed their research.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.

I should have adequately explained it to the professors.

I've failed you.

Please scold me instead.

Yes, you are at fault too.

But if doctors behave this way,

it damages the reputation of Taemin as a whole.

You know, don't you?

Ever since New Drug Development Team and Ward 21A were formed,

only bad things keep happening.

Don't bad things happen in other wards, too?

Trial, error and mistakes happen everywhere.

But you only seem to be targeting New Drug Development Team.

You are being very prejudiced

and you are causing a rift. It's terribly dishonorable.

Disclose their research.

Then we will support you too.

Their request may be appropriate.

Of course, they are curious and suspicious.

So will you--

No company or hospital

shares top secret information with all of their employees.

It's not only Taemin that does this.

This is different. Patients keep--

I have heard enough.

I hope this never happens again.

If I didn't respect all of you so much,

I would've asked you to resign ten minutes ago.

Please appreciate the faith I have in you.

What a big mess.

So Dr. Jung left without anything?

Yes.

Thank you for always keeping me informed.

Not at all.

As always, don't worry about being compensated.

Yes.

Thank you.

But about the patients' blood...

I know the hospital policy

forbids even nurses,

but can you get blood samples?

Pardon? Yes.

The problem isn't drawing blood.

It's that I think there are cameras in each room.

And starting today,

they are searching everyone at the exit.

Couldn't you hide it better?

It was totally visible.

Then where could I have hidden it?

Your back pocket or in your bra for example.

It didn't fit!

And if I stuck it in my bra, it would stick out here...

Dr. Choi, please.

Oh okay.

We suddenly became petty people who are prejudiced

and dishonorable.

And losers who don't have access to classified information.

One thing we know for sure is

the director holds unbridled control.

What's the big deal about a director?

We can drag him down.

It won't be easy.

How did this hospital become like this?

It's so cold in here.

Your office is pretty cold.

It's still spring. Did you turn on the air conditioner?

Yes.

Well, I was infuriated because of the chairman,

so I turned it on.

I'm still burning up.

Dr. Park.

Yes?

May I ask why you came to my office earlier?

Is it about Ward 21A?

Or about discontinuing the meetings?

Until we can trust the director completely,

you need to be very careful with him.

The story he told you doesn't make sense.

It's both, about 21A and the discussions.

I'm sorry.

I should have explained it to you, at least.

Well, it is what it is.

He looks bad.

He won't last more than a few days.

If it weren't for the unexpected situation,

he could have been given a brand new life.

I guess

opportunities really come before miracles.

Without opportunities,

there are no miracles.

-Give him 80mg of Asopen every four hours. -Yes.

Thank you for

not giving up on me

and treating me.

But Doctor,

are these drugs the only treatment available?

Are there any other available treatments?

No.

-Professor. -What is it?

I need to talk to you about Choi U-sik.

What about Choi U-Sik?

Well, you see...

I see.

I guess it's something I can't hear? I'll bow out.

No, you can hear it too.

So what is it?

-Su-yeon asked you that? -Yes.

She wants to practice walking down the aisle

with her dad now, is that it?

Before he passes away.

She asked me, but I think it will be

hard for me to make that happen.

She really wants to do it for her dad

as her final gift.

How could that young thing think that way?

What should we do?

I'll talk to the general affairs department.

What for?

Tell Su-yeon we'll do it tomorrow.

Thank you.

What are you looking at? This is nothing.

Talk to general affairs? Please.

I am curious though.

You told Mr. Choi U-sik

he shouldn't be admitted, and you were mean to him.

But you stopped administration from discharging him.

Tell me.

-I don't know why. -Really?

Yes, really.

It was probably because you felt bad for him.

I don't think so.

I really don't know what it is.

Think about it.

I have to go.

You can rest alone in peace now.

Dr. Yu Rita.

I hope

you don't know too much.

Your BP is good and so is your temperature.

Do you feel any other discomfort?

Well,

my neck feels a bit stiff.

Your neck?

Gosh.

Yes?

Why are you being weird?

Did you have dinner yet?

I got out of the OR not even ten minutes ago.

Let's

get something to eat.

Why?

Do you feel bad for making me do all your surgeries?

Well, not just because of that.

It's a team dinner. Yes, a team dinner.

What are we having?

Whatever you want.

You should have narrowed it down to three choices.

How annoying.

That place. Let's go there. They have a lot of options.

Kimbap Heaven is what you came up with?

They have a huge menu.

They have almost 80 items.

I admire the two ladies for being able to make so many dishes

just by themselves.

We'll have two tuna kimbap and one tteokbokki with noodles.

-I'm thirsty. -You have to get your water yourself.

I know that!

Will you do me a favor?

No, you must.

What is it?

I plan to ask you 100 questions starting today.

An intensive Q and A on vampires.

No, I won't answer them.

Why should I?

You have no shame.

You brought me here because you felt bad.

But this isn't enough for me.

You need to do what I want.

I'll ask the questions in random order

according to the situation...

I said no.

First.

Do vampires really drink blood?

Everyone knows that.

-You too? -I don't.

Then what do you eat?

A milk and albumin concentrate mixture.

And a little bit of vegetables and carbohydrates.

What is that, a monk's diet?

I can't taste anything. I have no taste buds.

Then you can't taste tom yum goong, spicy monkfish,

or anything?

-No. -I feel bad for you.

But you can eat them, right?

Yes.

Then do you poop?

Of course, if you eat, you have to poop.

I guess that was an obvious question.

Enjoy.

-Try one. -No. You eat.

Just try one.

You should eat with me. You have no manners.

What are you doing?

You do this again, and...

What are you saying?

The documents that Dr. Jung Ji-tae had...

The information on the scanned pages is hard to make out.

The content is unclear and all mixed up.

My guess is that the originals are just as bad.

Are they his research notes?

No, more like his journal.

But it is definitely Dr. Jung Han-su's journal.

I asked him to let me participate in his research,

but I won't know until tomorrow at the earliest.

I'm sure it's hard. This is not a common research topic.

And I didn't say anything to the director.

Good.

What he told you doesn't make sense.

It looks like Dr. Jung Han-su went to the graves too.

In addition, the other three in the picture were his mentees

and part of the research.

Forty years ago, I volunteered in the remote areas of Kochenia.

There was a sick, old man who was dying.

He coughed up blood, and some went into my mouth.

After I was infected,

I found out that others who were infected were after me,

so we kept running.

They eventually found out where I was and came for me.

But he didn't say

a word about the graves or Dr. Jung Han-su.

He made it sound like he went through it all alone.

And he didn't mention your parents either

although they were infected too.

Don't let him know what you know for now.

Not until he starts telling something that makes sense.

If he continues to lie,

that means he has a hidden agenda.

Also, what we've been chasing all these years

may be right in front of us.

What?

It's very likely that Dr. Jung Han-su found the graves,

took a sample and cultivated the virus.

He may be the creator of VBT-01.

So we need to see everything Dr. Jung has.

Please stop this research.

There will come a day when I can tell you the reason.

So,

please stop right here.

He definitely knows something.

Much more than what I know.

Dad.

Mom never once

showed me your face.

It was because she believed that,

to be strong,

I shouldn't have any longing or regret.

She wanted me to think only of myself

and never to look back.

I think

I've followed her wishes well until now.

So now,

allow me to have a bit of longing.

It's nice to meet you, Father.

You are not a monster. You were infected.

You're infected with a virus called the VBT-01 virus.

Of course, your dad and I were both infected,

so you were born infected.

Your dad felt bad until the moment he passed away.

He felt so bad...

The reason we had to live on the run is

because of others who are infected.

They wanted to use that virus for evil and...

They wanted to use that virus for evil and

your dad and I opposed it.

CAN VAMPIRES READ OTHERS' MINDS?

DO VAMPIRES TRANSFORM WHILE KISSING?

That's right.

-Oh my. -What?

Why are you so surprised?

How could you expose your identity like that?

Goodness.

You sleep over one night

and you're totally smitten, right?

Unbelievable.

That's not it.

Remember the girl I told you I saved on Jeju Island?

-Yes, the wild dogs. -That was Dr. Yu Rita.

Even more unbelievable.

No way. You're making that up.

Coincidences like that only happen in dramas.

It's true. I'm leaving.

Have a refreshing day, Master.

You're full of surprises today!

You're so dynamic!

Jeong Da-hun's surgery went well.

Good work.

And Na Gi-chang

has a family history of hepatitis. Please monitor closely.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Another IV drip? It's so annoying.

You need your medication to get better.

You throw away all your pills too, right?

I never did that!

If you're caught throwing out pills again,

I'll give you a really painful shot.

I'll still throw them out anyway!

You shouldn't do that.

You're in trouble now.

This doctor is really scary.

-Will you throw them away again? -I won't.

What? Seriously?

Why are you speaking so politely to him?

You must really be scared.

No, he's good-looking!

Anyway, listen to the doctor and nurse here.

Okay?

-Okay. -You brat. You're so superficial.

Why is everyone gathered in here?

Who the hell are you?

What?

What's wrong with her?

Oh, my.

It's time, Dr. Park.

Oh, wow, it's so pretty.

I wore this when I was your age.

My mom got it for me for my birthday party.

So you're lending this to me?

No, I'm giving it to you. It's a gift.

-Really? -Yes.

I hope you'll grow up to be as pretty as this dress.

Thank you!

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED BEFORE US

GROW UP TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY

We're missing something.

The groom.

We need a groom. It feels empty without one.

Daddy.

Yes?

I will

remember this forever.

Walking down the aisle while holding your hand.

Good. You have to...

You have to remember

this moment.

Daddy's hand.

Of course.

Daddy's hand.

Honey?

Mr. Choi!

Honey! Open your eyes!

I think it's almost time.

Will you have him pass away in the ICU?

I couldn't do anything

for him.

Even during the time he has left,

I won't be able to do anything.

It isn't just you.

We all feel the same way.

-Sister. -Yes?

I read in an article about you

that you saved over 200,000 starving people

and you took care of over 50,000 orphans.

Goodness.

Where did you read such nonsense?

If you can live

for as many years as you have already lived,

you'd probably save that many children again,

wouldn't you?

That would be nice

but the Man above

would never allow it.

What if...

What if the Man Above did permit it?

I heard there was an unfortunate event yesterday.

I wouldn't call it unfortunate. It was thrilling.

I understand you still need

blood samples from Ward 21A.

I also believe we need them to ascertain the truth, too.

What if

I get you a blood sample?

I assume it is just as difficult for you.

I have broken many promises with you.

I want to try to keep this one.

Please leave it to me.

Excuse me.

Are you Choi U-sik's family?

You said drawing blood would be no problem, right?

Yes.

A small volume is just fine.

Can you do it without being noticed?

Don't worry. If you can get a sample,

I'll take care of getting it out.

You seem to have been busy since yesterday.

Yes, a bit.

You look like you have a lot to say to me

but you're resisting the urge to do so.

I don't have much to say.

I know everything I need to know.

I see.

Right, and I heard about the pancreatic cancer patient.

I heard about the moving event, too.

I'm sure you must be upset as his attending.

What makes you all the more upset

would be the fact that you actually have the power to cure him.

That pain is something only you and I can feel.

But a day will come when we won't have to feel such pain.

Excuse me.

Where is Mr. Choi?

What? You didn't know?

I am his attending.

You should have told me!

I'm sorry.

But

I believed what my husband needs is the treatment here.

Do you even know what this ward is?

Of course.

I heard everything and decided after much thought.

CONSENT FORM

Please give us a chance.

I'm not trying to give him false hope.

Of course, you must be nervous that it's a new drug,

but it won't be any worse.

We've even seen some successful cases.

And after he is transferred,

all the hospital related fees will be free.

You don't have to worry about paying anything.

Please understand, Doctor.

This is my husband's only hope.

We have nowhere else to turn.

Regarding both his illness and our finances.

No.

I'll treat him again

so come back.

They've already begun the infusion.

I've signed the form, too.

I'm going to wait quietly now.

Please

leave us alone.

I'm sure you must be upset as his attending.

What makes you all the more upset would be the fact that

you actually have the power to cure him.

That pain is something only you and I can feel.

But a day will come when we won't have to feel such pain.

Dr. Park

Where are you going?

Let go.

What is it, Dr. Park?

Why are you doing this?
