Hold her down!
Father.
Is Mom okay?
Why are you in here?
Get out right now.
Father. Mom isn't sick.
It's useless to call the doctors.
- I saw it clearly. - What did you see?
There's something inside Mom.
- Mom... - Don't speak recklessly!
- I'm not lying! - You punk.
Go to your room now.
Don't come out until I tell you to, understand?
Grab her.
Father.
Soo Min.
Hello, I'm Father Moon Ki Sun.
I'm here to help your wife...
I'm here to help Sister Stella.
Thank you for bringing my son home.
- You. Come inside. - Dad.
Sir, you're in a dangerous situation right now.
Wait. It's true that my wife is sick.
I don't know what my son told you.
But the doctors are seeing her now. Please go back now.
Rather than doctors, you need prayers.
The doctor is here. Go back right now.
- I only need a moment. - Leave right now!
- Sir, just a moment. - Soo Min, go to your room now!
- Just one prayer. - What's with you?
Just one prayer.
Mom.
In the name of the Holy Spirit...
leave evil spirit.
Soo Min.
Mom.
Soo Min.
- Mom. - Soo Min, close your eyes.
Mom.
Mom!
Father, let go of me.
Let go of me, Father.
Mom!
Let go of me, Father.
Father... Mom.
Mom!
(Priest)
(Present Day)
The bleeding won't stop.
Put pressure on it. How are the vitals?
- BP is 80 over 50. - Please hurry.
It'll be 20 minutes to Southern Catholic Hospital. There's traffic.
His vitals are dropping.
The bleeding won't stop.
- Please, suture this patient. - Do you have room for a patient?
Yes.
- Can you see with that eye? - Please come this way.
Help me.
That's good.
Try it.
Please take him for imaging.
(Ambulance)
Out of the way!
We have a patient with emergency internal injuries.
Go, go, go.
- He has internal injuries. - Wait. How was he injured?
I think he was stabbed by a weapon.
We'll move him for now.
Father Moon. Please, save me.
This is a first, for one like this.
He has a very strong evil force.
I'll ask you once more. What is your name?
That was me.
What do you need to know my name for?
That will be a hassle.
The nuns are scheduled to visit Korea.
It'll be a problem to create a fuss at the Vatican.
That's not what's important. This is a serious matter.
I don't think we can get permission on everything for now.
Just until Sister Lee Hye Min's visit is over,
allow 634 Regia to make decisions and take action.
Jesus...
You said you're Oh Soo Min?
- Yes. - Do you have a strong mentality?
Or do you just not feel anything?
How long has he been here?
It's been two years since he became a deacon.
He is still very reckless and foolish.
You chose him. It's your responsibility.
Father Peter, it won't be easy.
Will you be okay with a kid like him?
He is blessed with perseverance.
I will talk to the cardinal for now.
Be careful until then, and watch yourself.
Tell me right away if something happens.
Even if we get approval, it will be unofficial.
So you cannot be reckless about it.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Father. - Yes, Father.
This is bad.
Hurry up.
Keep going.
- Any heartbeat? - No.
Get the defibrillator. Charge 60J.
- 60J charged. - Everyone move.
Clear. Shock!
How's the patient?
Abdomen injury and unconscious.
He went into arrest as soon as he arrived.
- Did you call surgery? - They said it will take 30 minutes.
He's dropping to 70.
There's too much blood in his mouth. I can't see.
- Suction, suction! Quickly! - We need 0.3 of epinephrine.
I'm going again with 120 charge. Move everyone.
Clear. Shock!
- How much blood did you use? - 1L each. We used 4 packs.
Seems like bleeding in the abdominal cavity.
The bleeding is too severe for the wound.
Don't make your own judgement.
It's hypovolemic shock. Stop the bleeding first.
He could die in five minutes. We don't have time for that.
- Charge it to 120. - Up the volume and central line.
- Set up saline. - Okay.
- Bring more packs of it. - Okay.
Hold onto this for me.
Hurry, hurry.
- A little faster. - Okay.
- One more time. Charge to 120. - Charging 120.
Move. Clear. Shock.
There's no pulse.
- One more time. Move. - No, don't. Move, Doctor.
I'll proceed with emergency abdominal surgery.
- What? - What?
What are you doing?
How will you stop the bleeding if you open him now?
We increased the volume, but there's still no pulse.
That means there's internal bleeding.
We don't have consent from a guardian.
He's a minor at that.
We can only save him if we open him up now.
Woo Joo, Woo Joo.
Excuse me. I'm looking for a boy named Kim Woo Joo.
He's 10 years old, and he's from Daechi-dong.
Excuse me. Doctor Yoo!
Is... Is that the person in charge?
Doctor.
Scalpel.
- Wait. - What is it?
What are you doing with contaminated hands?
The guardian is here, so stop.
There's no time. He'll go into arrest in one minute.
- It's over then. - Hey. Ham Eun Ho!
Should I kill him over some procedures and rules?
- Get ready to suction. - Yes, suction is ready.
Kim Yoo Ri, leave already. Are you going to be responsible?
Leave right now!
Suction.
The suction's not enough.
This isn't going to work.
Clamp and prolene. Hurry up and get it for me.
I can't see anything.
Open it up more. More, more, more.
More.
Spread it open more.
Suture. Hurry.
- Hurry. - I'll do it.
Cut.
- Cut. - Cut.
Cut.
We stopped the bleeding. Charge to 200.
- What? 200 for him? - Charge to 200.
Move. Shock!
- Again. - Charge it.
Move.
Shock.
Again... Do it again.
- Charging. - Shock.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
- Doctor. - 4, 5, 6...
7, 8, 9...
- 1, 2, 3, 4... - Doctor.
5, 6, 7...
Doctor, the 10-year-old patient, Kim Woo Joo.
Did the surgery go well?
Well, the thing is...
Wait, ma'am.
What...
Doctor, what happened to my Woo Joo?
Why... Why won't anyone tell me?
Doctor, what happened to Woo Joo?
Ma'am.
Your son, Kim Woo Joo...
Oh my.
- What's going on? - What is this?
- Nurse Yang, go and check on it. - Yes, I will.
What's going on?
Dr. Ham.
What's going on?
Dr. Ham.
It's ROSC.
(When the heart starts beating again after having stopped.)
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
(Seul Hyun)
What do I stress all the time?
Safety.
Is that so difficult?
The patient yesterday who bled excessively from a knife wound...
Kim Woo Joo.
His grandfather is an ex-prime minister.
And I hear that you cut his stomach yesterday?
Without consent from a guardian!
Those who were involved, raise your hands.
Why?
We tried to get permission from his guardian but...
It was almost four minutes since his cardiac arrest.
If we started surgery after getting permission as stated in the manual,
he would've had serious brain damage...
even if he regained consciousness.
You probably think it's okay since we saved the patient.
Then why do we have manuals?
If the patient's safety depends on every second,
then I'll do the same thing in that kind of situation.
What if you do surgery without permission,
and the patient dies?
Who's responsible for that?
Dr. Ham, your colleagues, including myself...
Don't you care about our safety?
You think you can do whatever you think is right?
Director, what brings you here?
I got a phone call from the prime minister.
I heard his grandson was admitted yesterday.
You mean Kim Woo Joo?
Yes, it was an emergency...
but our emergency center took the right measures...
and now he's being treated as a general patient.
That's a relief. Well done.
Prime Minister Kim must've been very worried.
He gave me a call just now to say thank you.
I see.
So, who was the surgeon?
No surprise. It was Dr. Ham.
Well done.
Yes.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Dr. Ham!
Dr. Ham, the ambidextrous doctor of Southern Catholic Hospital...
performs another miracle.
You must be so happy.
What do you mean?
When everyone was saying you can't do it,
you took the initiative and saved a VIP.
Heaven must be helping her.
The lights in the emergency center...
went on and off like special effects.
It's an ROC.
Hey.
- You scared me, doctor. - Dr. Jang.
- I told you already. - What?
It was electricity for the emergency center that went on and off.
What would happen to the technical staff if the director hears that?
It's not all doctors in the hospital.
It's an important workplace for many people.
- Hey, Song. - Yes?
The food poisoning group. Are they done registering?
I was about to check if...
Follow me.
And Dr. Ham?
Yes?
Aren't you being a bit rash just because you're quitting soon?
Well done saving the kid's life yesterday.
But even overseas NGOs...
don't like surgeons who keep breaking the guideline.
No hospital in the world likes that kind of surgeon.
Yes, I'll bear that in mind.
How can you be smiling?
I know.
What? What's your problem this time?
No problem.
Thanks to the ambidextrous Dr. Ham,
we weren't penalized and everything is fine.
Thanks so much.
You kept all the guidelines. Why would you be penalized?
What?
That kid yesterday... Is he leaving IC today?
Already?
Somebody must've taken great care of him.
See you.
Yeah.
Still, he had his heart arrest.
He's going to general ward already?
Do you need to poop?
Don't hurry yourself. You'll lose energy.
Are you keep going to dodge me?
You should play offense, come on.
Am I that watertight?
Where are you going?
Where are you going, Father? Are you forfeiting?
I said you lose if you go down, you punk.
You're 0 for 5.
What do you mean I went down?
Come on, I just slipped.
I slipped and was just...
Just wait until next time. We'll see who the real winner is.
Anytime. 0 for 5.
Whether you punch or kick,
think carefully before you decide on something.
Think carefully, okay?
Too much is as bad as too little.
It's better to have less than to have too much.
You always told me I was lacking, didn't you?
Let me ask you this.
You order pork cutlet at a stew restaurant.
What's wrong with you?
I ordered what's on the menu.
You're the crooked one that keeps picking on me.
You have talent for talking back to people, that's for sure.
- Is it good? - So much. It's delicious.
Give me a bite.
No, you can't. Order one yourself, Father.
I'm the one paying, Brother Oh Soo Min.
I'm having this next time. It's good.
A children's counsellor stabbed a child in elementary school...
who came to see him for counselling.
As it turns out that the counsellor was a former priest,
people are even more shocked.
Seo Dong Hoon reports on this news.
Yesterday around 10pm in Sedang-dong, Gangnam-gu,
Mr. Jeong, a youth counsellor...
was arrested at the scene for seriously injuring...
a third-grader who came to see him...
at his home, using a weapon that he had in his home.
Investigations have revealed...
that Mr. Jeong was a Catholic priest until eight years ago.
- Ignatius... - Ignatius?
Is that Father Jeong?
- I need to leave now. - I'm going, too!
Don't! I'll go by myself.
Wait at the residence.
Reasons for the crime have not been revealed.
How about the bill?
The child was immediately taken to Southern Catholic Hospital...
and is being treated in the general ward.
Fortunately, he is expected to recover soon.
For HBS News, Seo Dong Hoon.
Hello.
(Kim Woo Joo)
Chiang spoke slowly and watched the younger gull...
Who...
- Hello. - Hello.
- What are you doing? - Huh?
I'm here to check Woo Joo's condition.
I see.
Yes.
You're not even in charge of him. What's up?
I was just worried.
- Still. - I'm glad he's recovering quickly.
I've never seen anyone recover...
Will you be taking care of Woo Joo from now on?
Yes. The director told me to take special care of him.
I looked into you.
You're well-known for being competent.
Please take good care of him.
Okay.
By the way...
I wanted to know...
about the wounds on Woo Joo's body.
It didn't seem like he got them...
the day he came to the hospital.
What are you trying to say?
Did your son mutilate himself whenever he got stressed?
If that's the case, he should talk with a psychiatrist...
Be careful what you say.
Self-mutilation?
He has a habit of scratching himself.
Did you just call it self-mutilation?
How dare you turn him into a monster?
Doctor.
Woo Joo needs his rest, so could you leave?
Sure. Goodbye, then.
(Gangnam Police Station)
(Detective Team 3, Detective Team 2)
We can't believe it either.
We looked into it, and the kid visited him for consultation.
They were praying together and then suddenly,
he hit and stabbed him.
We ran over after receiving a neighbour’s phone call.
The boy had suffered serious stab wounds to his stomach.
Father Jeong had a weapon in his hand.
There were no intruders.
It was just them two inside.
I think it's obvious who killed him. Goodbye, then.
What?
Wait. Who were you again?
- Father Jeong. - What?
What happened?
What do you mean?
We were drinking at our hangout...
and then we attended mass in the evening.
Do you remember what happened two days ago?
Of course, I do.
When we were in school,
we went to Cambodia to do charity service.
You followed me after hearing that I'd be going there.
I'm not talking about the past.
I really went through a lot back then.
- If it wasn't for you... - Hey.
What happened at your house?
Brother. Brother.
Do you remember...
the kid who lost his legs due to seborrhea?
He looked at me.
He looked straight into my eyes.
He looked at me and cried.
He cried, screamed, and started bleeding.
He screamed, "Help me."
Help me!
Look at me.
- Look at me. - Help me!
Hey!
Did you stab the kid? Did you?
It found me. It found me.
It found me.
"It"?
The bloody cross.
No way.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
All right.
How may I help you?
About the boy who was hospitalized and on the news yesterday...
The ex-prime minister's grandson?
Right. Which ward is he in?
Why?
I'm sure the doctors will do their best,
but they asked us to also help out.
After all, he is an ex-prime minister's grandson.
Gosh, we're all working too hard.
- Sorry? - It's nothing.
- Here. - Thank you.
Bless you.
Thank you.
(Kim Woo Joo, Room 709)
Woo Joo is asleep.
He's not in a good condition, honey.
When will you come?
The doctors keep asking about his wounds.
I really don't know what to say to them.
Mom?
Help me...
Excuse me. Is anyone here?
(Male, 9 years old, Kim Woo Joo)
This is the right room.
Attention, please.
We're looking for a child. His name is Kim Woo Joo.
He is a nine-year-old boy.
He is wearing a patient gown.
I'll repeat.
We're looking for a child. His name is Kim Woo Joo.
He is a nine-year-old boy and is wearing a patient gown.
If anyone spots him...
- He's not there. - I can't find him either.
How could you guys not know where a patient went?
Will you take responsibility if something happens to him?
Doctor Kim, what happened?
I have no idea. I wasn't here.
How long has it been?
It's been over 30 minutes.
It hasn't even been 12 hours since he left the ICU.
Even the slightest exercise...
like going out for a stroll could seriously harm him.
Please check the wards on the seventh floor once again.
Also, the convenience store and the food court.
I'll check the CCTV footages and let you know.
Let's hurry.
- Woo Joo! - Woo Joo!
Woo Joo!
Have you been there?
(Funeral Hall)
There.
Let's go.
- Please check over there. - Yes, ma'am.
He is...
the devil.
Please save us. Please!
He was the devil.
Was that why you stabbed him?
He needs to be taken to the detention center.
Ignatius, is that all?
Father.
You talked about a cross, right?
What was that about?
Tell me everything you saw.
I stabbed him.
I will pierce his heart.
I am innocent. Why are you doing this?
Okay. Fine. Just let go of Woo Joo.
Ignatius.
Do you think you can save this boy?
Who?
Who are you? Reveal yourself.
No...
No! Father, please save...
your helpless lamb.
"Father, please save your helpless lamb."
Help me! Help me!
Is it you, Woo Joo?
Woo Joo.
Woo Joo?
Woo Joo.
What are you doing there?
Goodness.
You. Even though Father Jeong was excommunicated,
you shouldn't have done that.
What's going on? Woo Joo? Is that you?
What are you doing to him?
It's me, Doctor Ham.
Woo Joo!
Woo Joo. Woo Joo.
Who are you?
- I'm... - Are you a priest?
Are you okay, Woo Joo? Let's go.
Let's go. Wait! What are you doing?
Put him down, okay?
Believe it or not, there's something wrong with him.
- I need to bring him somewhere. - Put him down!
- Hurry! - I'm sorry.
- Here! - Who is it?
Hey, stop right there!
- Are you okay? - Yes. Please catch him.
Are you okay?
Yes.
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
What the...
What?
Were you going to swear?
Don't you know I hate cockroaches the most?
Yes. That was why I did it.
Hey.
- You know... - Yes?
Doctors can't be frightened by things like this.
A doctor should have a strong heart.
In order to be more courageous...
Doctor, that's enough with the pranks.
In your second year, didn't you faint after claiming to have seen...
a ghost during night duty?
- When did I? - We went to the emergency room.
Don't you remember?
- Come on. - Dr. Jang, we have an emergency.
Please come to the emergency room.
Let's go. Come on.
- About Patient Kim Woo Joo, - Yes?
I didn't find anything other than...
cuts on his feet from running barefoot.
I know.
I don't know how that injured boy got the strength to run.
I'm leaving.
We found the energumen. Southern Catholic Hospital.
I told you to sit still.
I'm positive that the boy is possessed.
The evil spirit has completely taken over him.
We need to hurry with the exorcism.
I'm at the archdiocese.
Keep an eye on him until I receive the bishop's approval.
Only keep an eye on him?
What if something happens?
And what if you don't get his approval?
First, that evil spirit is not like the others.
Second, even Ignatius couldn't subdue him.
You can't take him on your own.
That's all the more reason why we can't sit still.
It may take days to get the approval.
What if the boy harms more people? What will you do then?
Third, don't talk back when we have no time.
Just sit tight and watch him.
This is an order.
Fine. Okay.
I'll do that.
Hello?
Goodness.
What if he runs away?
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
Really? He is an energumen?
Father Oh Soo Min confirmed it a while ago.
- Please give us your approval. - I see.
Okay.
This is Stefano from Korea.
Yes, this is Korea.
I'd like to speak with Archbishop Lucas...
of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Are you really going to Colombia once your contract ends next year?
No, it's Venezuela.
That's right. Venezuela.
I always get them confused.
Their NGO scouted many doctors.
Where does it hurt?
We have a shortage of surgeons here as well.
Can't you just stay?
Here?
Rather than a place like this that stresses manuals and numbers,
a place where I can focus on saving lives is a better fit for me.
Why? Do you wish I'd get lost quickly?
No, not at all. Of course not.
Anyway, about Kim Woo Joo.
What was he doing by the funeral parlour?
I heard he was running around.
His rate of recovery is extremely irregular, isn't it?
I mean, shouldn't we report this to the Association?
I know, right?
I need to step out.
Okay.
Oh Holy Mary, the mother of angels and grace,
our pure and immaculate Mother,
Excuse me.
Hey, you!
Woo Joo!
Oh my gosh.
What is your name?
Michael.
No. The name your mom gave you.
It's a secret.
Let me go.
(Anatomy Laboratory)
Why did he come here?
In the name of the Lord, answer me now.
What is your name?
What...
Save the soul created in Your image from all evil and threats,
and protect him from all evil.
Thou art holy...
You are a branch...
You, a branch that does not live on the vine...
Tell me at once! What is your name?
I will ask you again. What is your name?
What is your name?
- How... - What are you doing?
- Woo Joo, are you all right? - The thing is...
Hello, doctor.
We're all together again.
- What? - Get out.
This isn't something you can do.
Let's go.
Woo Joo.
Where did he go?
I am the Lord's servant.
Let your will be done through me.
Your Word...
has become flesh...
Get out of him.
Man from my kingdom.
Why do you seek to confine your king?
You are not my king.
I was created in God's image.
In the name of the Father.
Aren't you afraid this child will die?
Aren't you scared?
Tell me the name by which you are called!
Woo Joo.
Woo Joo. Wake up.
Woo Joo!
- Step aside. - But...
I said to move!
But...
It's my turn now.
(Priest)
You knew everything and pretended not to.
Hurry.
I told you not to do anything. Why did you act alone?
Are you insane?
Will those doctors be okay?
Follow the policies, and obey the orders received!
Kim Woo Jin is being kidnapped right now.
I looked for him after I heard the announcement too.
Wait a short while. I'll finish you off.
I asked what you were doing to Kim Woo Joo.
Will you let those priests be?
We call people with these symptoms "energumen".
Please allow me to perform an exorcism.
