[Mom: 001-1-949...]
But he is your son, too!
I want to forget everything related to you. That includes both you and Hoon.
Hey...
Please don't call me ever again.
[Mom: 001-1-949...]
Hello?
Are you... Hoon?
Yes, this is Hoon.
Oh my God! I can't believe this.
I didn't know you would really call.
Where's my mom?
Your mom went to Korea 20 years ago to get you.
She was worried that if her number changed, you might not be able to reach her.
So she told me to never abandon this number.
Good heavens!
Why did you call so late?
She told me to tell you something when you call.
She wants you to know that she's sorry, and that it was her fault.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I didn't know what you were going through.
But never forget.
I love you more than anyone in this world.
I'm sorry, son.
I'll come find you. Please take care of yourself until then.
I don't know your son, but I'm very envious of him.
I'm sure you'll see him again. So you must take care of yourself too.
Mom...
I'm sorry, son.
Mom...
Hello?
It's me.
Have you met your mom?
What did you do to my mother?
Well...
What did you do to my mother?
We didn't do anything.
But just remember that we're capable of doing anything.
Do you have time to do this right now? You must go see your mother.
Hello?
Damn, it'll be one hell of a mother-son reunion.
Episode 14
Park Hoon is heading there right now.
Got it.
We need to get her blood sample.
Let's go.
Please stay outside.
Would you please leave the door open?
Yes.
Nothing notable is going on. Yes.
Where is Ms. Lee?
She just left.
Have you seen a female patient holding a doll?
I think I saw her going outside.
Ms. Lee is not in her room.
She is at the blood testing lab.
Excuse me. There was a patient who just came...
The one with a doll?
She just left.
To where? She isn't in her room.
It's weird. Her guardian was also asking the same thing.
Her guardian?
We're looking around the hospital.
Okay.
You can't go inside.
I'm here to see Dr. Han Seung Hee.
She's in a surgery right now.
What?
Lee Mi Sook has disappeared?
I'm sorry, sir.
I don't want your apology!
We need her as a tool to control Park Hoon!
Did Park Hoon sneak her out?
I don't think that's likely.
Then what is it?
A madwoman just ran away all by herself?
We're searching the premises. Once we find her...
Park Hoon, Mr. Prime Minister.
What's going on?
Chang Yi. Listen carefully.
She is Hoon's mother.
I'll tell you everything later.
Would you please let her stay here for a bit?
Does Hoon know?
She'll be in danger once Hoon knows.
I think you're more dangerous.
Chang Yi...
I know what you do.
I saw you making threats to kill people with guns too!
Those people are trying to use her.
Once they find out that she's gone, the first person they'll go to is Hoon.
What would happen if Hoon met her right now?
I beg of you. This is both for Hoon and his mom.
You can't tell this to anyone.
I'm sorry to have you involved in a matter like this.
But you know you're the only one whom Hoon can trust.
She's not outside.
We're continuing to look inside, but I don't think she's here.
- Keep looking. - Yes, sir.
Park Hoon's mother has disappeared?
If this is the best you can do...
I'm not sure if I can rely on you at critical moments.
If you had us to take care of her, this would not have happened.
Did you do this?
Why would we do this?
Don't judge by yourself whether my decision is right or wrong.
Park Hoon's mother has disappeared. Is it your doing?
I thought she was being watched by Jang Seok Joo's people.
The only people who know she's here are them and us.
Did you do it?
I was in a surgery. Do you think I had time to do it?
You do have a motivation though. Because she's Park Hoon's mother.
Why don't you go inside and look yourself?
It's fine. I just hope that you're not the one who did it.
But if you did it, none of you will survive.
Thank you.
You shouldn't leave your post during surgery.
I'm sorry.
I'll fill in for you the next time you have an emergency.
Of course. It's all about give-and-take.
[Park Hoon]
You have reached the voice mailbox...
Where does the Prime Minister live?
I've been paid to bring you.
Hoon...
Are you the one who sent the taxi?
Your mom is safe.
Have you known it all this time?
Have you known that my mom was in Korea all along?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't know where she was.
Do you think that makes sense?
Jang Seok Joo hid her whereabouts even from us.
He couldn't trust me.
You're all in the same boat.
You all even met up together. What was there to not trust?
Jang Seok Joo doubted my identity in the beginning.
What?
Once he saw no scar on my stomach, he believed that I'm not Song Jae Hee.
I got several surgeries before coming here.
Once he believed that I was here as an agent who was trained to lure you...
he told me everything about the project.
Have you ever thought about my doubting you?
Never.
I thought you would recognize me even if my face changed.
Your mom is in a safe place. I know it's hard, but please sit tight.
I don't want to hear it. Tell me where my mom is.
I can't.
Why? Why not?
I told you that I have a plan.
Once it goes as planned, I can protect both you and your mother.
So please trust me and wait until that happens.
How can I trust you if there is no proof?
I don't know if you really have my mom. I don't know what kind of evil you're planning.
How can I trust you?
Hoon...
I can't trust you. No...
I'm not even sure if you're Jae Hee or not.
I don't need any of your plan.
I'm going to meet Jang Seok Joo right now. Then...
I'm going to tell him that I'll go public with this
If he doesn't give my mom back.
Do you think he'll leave you alone then?
Tell him to kill me.
What will happen to your mom if you die?
She lost her mind after suffering for 20 years in guilt.
That's why I must meet her.
I need to tell her that I'm sorry, and it's all my fault.
Please trust me this once. I beg of you.
I want to protect you and your mom.
Just give me one month. Everything will be over in a month.
Please. I beg of you.
What you want to hear is in here.
[Jae Il University Hospital] [Confidential]
What is this?
This is Myung Woo...
This is Min Kook...
And Jae Il.
Among these, Min Kook was out at the moment I picked it.
Once you kick out Jae Il with what's in that envelope...
the only option left would be Myung Woo.
If that happens, please bring back Park Hoon to your hospital.
The competition must go on.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
You know some reporters, right?
Jae Il University Hospital, which has been chosen to perform the prime minister's surgery
has been accepting bribes from medical equipment companies, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
I think Min Kook Hospital should be the one to operate on my heart.
Let's go with Myung Woo.
What a sly old man.
He should've chosen Myung Woo from the beginning!
Have you found Lee Mi Sook?
We haven't, sir.
Do you think Cha Jin Soo did it?
I think it's Han Seung Hee.
Why would she?
I think she's Song Jae Hee.
What are you talking about? I saw no scars on her stomach with my own eyes!
Don't you agree it makes more sense to think that...
She snuck Lee Mi Sook out to protect her because she's Park Hoon's mom?
Jae Il is on it's way to getting disqualified.
You can be useful sometimes.
I've been always like this, Mr. Chairman.
What is our next step?
For what?
Shouldn't we resume the competition?
With Park Hoon?
Yes, sir.
I thought you are off today?
I think I was too harsh last night.
Are you going to Dr. Park's house?
Yes. I need to give him this leftover curry.
I don't want to throw it away.
Curry...
- Can you wait here for a minute? - Why?
He may love curry, but it might be too much to have it at every meal.
Tell him I'll make him more curry later.
Did you minor in culinary arts or something?
You can say that.
Thanks. I'll be sure to give these to him.
I...
I'm here to hear your apology.
My apology?
Yes. Apologize for what you said to me last night.
I meant every word of it. Why should I apologize?
Are you really going to be like this?
Hey, quack.
Do you actually like me?
What?
Aren't you here to see me? Using the apology as an excuse?
This is crazy.
If that's not the case, then leave. I'm not in the mood to hang out with you.
- I don't want to hang out with you. - Just go.
Don't get any weird ideas.
Dr. Han is the one who pitied you enough to pack you food.
I figured I'll get my apology while dropping it off.
- Dr. Han? - Yes, Dr. Han.
Why did she make all this food and put me in an awkward spot?
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm also sorry for last night. So leave now.
I was also impertinent last night.
There shouldn't be any misunderstanding between you and Jae Joon.
You also shouldn't come here anymore.
Take it back. I won't eat this.
Why? Dr. Han put in a lot of effort making this...
I said I won't eat it.
Do you actually like me?
Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I like you?
What a snob.
I told you to leave.
Hey...
What's up?
I beg of you.
What would happen if Hoon meets her right now?
You can't tell this to anyone.
What is it?
You said you'll help with delivery!
- Did I? - If not you, who else?
Just wait.
How's mom doing?
What? What mom?
I heard she was discharged yesterday. You should get her some good food.
Why are you worried about someone else's mom?
What's wrong with you this early in the morning?
Excuse me.
Is this office open today?
Of course, sir. Are you ill?
Yes, my chest...
Are you okay?
Bring him in.
You want a prescription for angina pectoris?
I fainted once when I stopped taking it.
That could've been very dangerous.
The blood clot from your coronary artery went to clog your brain's blood vessels.
It's fortunate that it was a small one.
If it was a big one, you would be bedridden right now.
Would you take a deep breath?
I went to a big hospital for a prescription, but they told me to get surgery.
I don't have money for that.
Which hospital?
Myung Woo Hospital.
I could've seen you there.
Would you please lie down?
Sir, I do think you need surgery.
I don't have the money for surgery.
This can be very dangerous if you don't do anything.
Just give me a prescription for angina pectoris.
This isn't something that can be cured by medication.
Then at least take a prescription...
Hi.
Competition again? I thought the other hospital got picked?
Who do you think I am? I'm Moon Hyung Wook!
Do you think I wouldn't do anything during a crisis like this?
I took care of it.
I'm not interested.
I can't even use that.
I'm not interested in the money. Dr. Han can be Myung Woo's representative.
Dr. Han can't accomplish my father's dying wish.
Hey, master... No.
You can tell your father that I'm sorry too.
Hoon!
Huh? That man...
Do you know him?
Of course I do! He's a patient of Dr. Yang.
He came in for a surgery but didn't get one because he has no money.
- Start the truck. - Where are we going?
Let's save him.
Myung Woo Hospital.
I knew this guy would be back.
How could you discharge a patient like that?
No money, no surgery.
Even though the patient is in danger?
Hey, Tomboy.
Should we go see a movie later?
Do perverted punks like you ever think about life?
I do think about life. Life is quite difficult...
If he doesn't have the money, he can't get a surgery.
I'll pay for him. Please start the admission process.
You said a month, right?
Then is Myung Woo going to operate on the prime minister?
Yes.
Dr. Park Hoon is here, Mr. Chairman.
Let him in.
Hey, big news!
Stop making all this fuss and go check some vital signs.
Listen! The Water Bottle is back.
- Really? - Yes.
What are you talking about?
It's 1-0, not 1-1!
It's fine.
Let's start as 1-1.
Hey!
You said it'll be a loss if we operate on the last patient...
But it was a necessary surgery. Someone had to do it.
Hey, you!
Let him finish.
Of course, sir.
So I'm willing to consider that surgery as my loss.
In other words, our competition will be decided by one surgery.
I feel like I'm being pitied. I don't like that.
Let's just say that it's my way of paying respect to a good doctor.
So, another final round?
But like the last time, the hospital picks up the bill.
A male patient, age 45.
He was brought into the emergency room two weeks ago.
The blood vessels in his brain were clogged by blood clots.
I see signs of myocardial infarction.
As you can see, we need to work on the coronary artery, mitral valve, and left atrium.
Is he going to be the patient for this round?
It's more than just a coincidence.
A female patient, age 53.
Similarly, she was admitted because of her cerebral infarction.
She has had a myocardial infarction for a while, causing her an atrial fibrosis.
As you can see, we'll need to remove her mitral valve.
Overall, she's in bad shape.
What are you going to do?
I have a heart donor, so I'm going for a transplantation.
But for you, it might take a while until you get a heart donor.
That's the reason why I wanted to do this round.
You're going to attach a ventricular assist device?
Do you know how much it costs? It costs more than 100 million Won!
And he's the one who ran away because he has no money!
That's why I wanted to do this round.
What?
Ventricular assist devices are mainly used to act as a heart until a donor is available...
But it has been significantly improved.
The patient will be able to live a normal life for a while after applying for a donor.
And the cost will be covered by the hospital.
End of discussion.
The surgery itself will also be more simple and less dangerous than transplantation.
You can insist that we won after the surgery, Master.
It's been a while since I've heard anything pleasant coming from you!
He's going for a ventricular assist device?
It'll be quite expensive.
Park Hoon is being smart.
I think this round will end in a tie.
No. He won't be able to attach a VAD to the patient.
I thought the hospital is paying for the surgery?
The cost is not the problem.
Does he have a bleeding disorder?
Correct.
The patient can't get neither transplantation nor VAD.
He'll die even if God performs the surgery.
Then this round...
You need to remember something, Dr. Han.
I only forgave my daughter's Han Jae Joon after the last surgery.
I haven't forgiven my Han Jae Joon, who went directly against my clear orders.
Do you know?
Dr. Moon helped me greatly to get Myung Woo selected for the prime minister's surgery.
Your position is not only upward.
You're very close to falling to the bottom. Are you aware?
I am aware.
And you're still laughing with Park Hoon?
How can you be smiling at that stranger, whom you should've kicked out a long time ago?
I'm sorry, sir.
Just remember.
This competition isn't something you do with your buddy for fun.
Your everything is on this competition!
I'll remember, Mr. Chairman.
You must win at all cost.
That's the only way for you to get Myung Woo.
If not, you'll lose everything.
Including Soo Hyun, your love.
Professor Park Cheol did go to North Korea 20 years ago.
Do you know why?
I heard he went to perform a surgery on their leader.
Their leader?
Apparently Professor Park was treated very well after the surgery went successful.
And he was so assuring about testifying for us...
And also...
He has a son.
I know.
You know?
It's not much, but as promised.
This is not the compensation I want.
I want you to get drunk with me like we did at Harvard.
That'd be enough for me.
Cheers.
Open the door, Professor! Please answer!
I...
Mom! Are you okay?
What's wrong? Wake up!
Park Cheol... Park Hoon...
Are you the son of Park Cheol, that bastard?
Dr. Park!
Hey, quack.
Come in. I need to give you something.
I have nothing to get from you.
Just come!
What is this?
It's your coat.
Mine?
Congratulations for coming back.
That won't be necessary.
Hey, quack.
Why are you making that face?
What about it?
Never mind.
Is this the coat that I threw away in a trash can?
Is it? Does it smell a lot?
Why don't you smell it then?
It doesn't smell!
I only smell my perfume.
Hurry.
You look the best in white coats.
Doctor...
Are you up?
What happened?
The surgery is tomorrow. So just rest up for now.
I said I can't pay for it!
You don't need to worry about the hospital bill.
The surgery is about attaching this to your heart.
This costs over 100 million Won.
Once you have this, you can live comfortably until a heart donor becomes available.
Everything will be paid by the hospital. So don't worry.
Thank you... Very much.
- Father. - Are you okay?
Yes. I'm okay.
Don't worry about anything.
I'm okay.
Did you want to see me?
You said you have a plan. And that's why I can't see my mom.
Tell me what it is.
You said you'll wait.
I can't.
I can't wait an hour longer, let alone a month.
I can't tell you.
Tell me. What's your plan?
I can't say it.
What's the reason? Why can't you tell me?
Because it'll put you in danger!
Say something sensible!
Hoon, all you need to do is trust me and behave as a good doctor.
Then I can save you and your mom.
A good doctor?
Is that what you want?
What are you doing? You have a surgery tomorrow!
Tell me. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold a scalpel ever again.
Don't do it.
Tell me.
Meeting the president is my plan.
Enough?
How are you going to meet the president?
The prime minister's surgery team
Is actually for the president.
So once I'm in the surgery team, I can meet him.
Operating on the president?
Then why are they saying that it's for the prime minister?
The president's illness is top secret. He wants to hide it too.
Why would he hide his illness?
Who would listen to someone who's about to die?
That will make even a president powerless.
Then what is Jang Seok Joo doing? Why does he want me to be in the team?
Because he wants to kill the president!
Because he thinks that once he holds me and your mom as hostages...
You'll do anything he orders you.
If the president dies, the prime minister takes over the power.
That's what Jang Seok Joo wants.
Is that your plan? Killing a person as Jang Seok Joo wishes?
He doesn't want to kill the president right now.
He wants the president to stay in a coma.
That way he can hold onto power as long as he wishes.
I thought I'll get a chance to meet the president by myself then.
If you promise to save us, I'll save you.
Idiot. Do you think it'll succeed?
If not, I'll die.
But at lease there's hope that we might live.
Why didn't you tell me earlier about something so dangerous?
I figured you didn't have to know.
I'm the surgeon of the team! How can I not know?
Dr. Han can do the surgery.
I'm going to ask Jang Seok Joo to take you out and put Dr. Han in.
If not, I won't do as he says.
There are many skilled anesthesiologists. Why does it have to be you?
Because I love you!
Because if they threaten to kill you, I must do as they say.
I didn't tell you because I thought you didn't have to be involved anymore.
So please forget everything I just told you.
And it's okay to lose the competition now.
So you must stay on the path to be the good doctor that you always wanted.
Please.
Is this for me?
It's pretty.
Everyone is attracted to something new and fresh.
Like that purse.
I think Dr. Park is just like that purse.
I think you just briefly tried him, like how you just tried that purse on.
I can't take anything more than that.
Everyone is attracted to something new and fresh.
Like that purse.
You can use it.
It won't take long.
Anything that I should know?
Nothing, sir.
Let's bring him to the operating room then.
I'm sorry for yesterday.
You haven't forgotten my request, right?
You don't need to worry about things like competitions anymore.
What should I do then?
Now I want to win this competition.
I won't let you go into any operating room alone.
Hoon...
Don't worry. This competition is about saving the patient anyway.
Mr. Chairman. It might be hard to decide who wins.
Their skills are well-capable of these surgeries.
How about we decide the winner by whoever finishes first?
Time isn't important in these surgeries.
We'll decide the winner by whoever is successful.
What if both of them are successful?
Well, I haven't thought about it.
I think you should.
How about assistant professorship at the branch hospital?
He can't find out that the patient has a bleeding disorder.
And you can't let him to have a successful surgery.
I hope you understand what I'm saying.
Have you finished the pre-surgery check-ups?
Yes.
Nothing notable.
Dr. Han.
You should run the important ones again. You never know.
Sure.
I saw that your father is a great man.
Professor Park Cheol.
I heard he went to North Korea for a very important surgery.
How did you find out?
How was it?
I assume life was comfortable up there since he saved their leader.
I guess that's how you graduated from Pyongyang Medical School.
You're being weirdly critical. Is something wrong?
Nothing. Good luck with your surgery.
Hey, quack. Do your best.
What's the matter with everyone today?
What's going on?
I think there's a problem. Let me see.
- Isn't that a major problem? - A bleeding disorder...
- Is Park Hoon going to cause an incident? - Seriously.
What happened?
The patient has a bleeding disorder.
I'm sorry. It seems like I forgot to run that test.
Dr. Yang!
I'm sorry, Dr. Park.
Platelet count?
50,000.
We can't do the surgery like this.
You should cancel.
The surgery is the only way for him to live. You know that.
We can't use either heparin nor warfarin to a patient with bleeding disorder.
That means he'll die.
His heart will stop anyway if we don't do anything.
What the hell is happening?
Why is there a disorder all of a sudden? Why is this not working?
Even the elevator is making my life harder!
The other room is a mess.
What's the matter?
Their patient has a bleeding disorder.
The regular platelet count is around 300,000 to 400,000.
But their patient has 50,000.
That means they can't attach the VAD.
Then it's over. Dr. Han wins. Game set.
Stop talking nonsense.
Let's get ready.
Let's disconnect the patient and move him.
Just wait.
There's no need to wait.
I said just wait!
Dr. Park will make the call.
Dr. Park?
If the patient doesn't want warfarin, we must do a surgery that doesn't use it.
Surgical anterior ventricular endocardial restoration.
They're going with the SAVER procedure.
What is that?
That is...
Let's say this is a heart.
The surgeon will cut the outside layer of the heart...
Then he'll take out the dead tissues like this...
To discard. Discard it with your beautiful mouth.
Then he'll stitch up the outer layer again.
It sounds simple.
Simple? This surgery isn't practiced anymore.
Not practiced anymore?
Yes.
The success rate is drastically low, so no one dares to do it.
Especially if the size of the dead tissue is big like that patient.
And the Water Bottle wants to do it?
Let's zoom in.
- The surgery has begun! - Yes.
Let me talk to him!
Forget it.
Hey punk!
Who do you think you are to dare trying that procedure?
Even the SAVER procedure will need heparin.
We won't be able to stop the bleeding once it starts.
We'll have extra blood platelet and be extremely careful.
The dead tissue is more than 40%
That's the upper limit of the SAVER procedure.
Satisfied?
The family won't allow it.
If we operate without the family's consent, there's no way out of this.
His blood pressure is dropping!
Let's start.
Please get ready.
Dr. Park...
The patient will die even if we abort right now.
We need the family's consent!
No consent will be necessary if the patient dies!
What are you doing?
Prepare for a shock.
If you see any bleeding, let me know.
Let's start the SAVER procedure.
Scalpel.
