Where are you going...
leaving a patient behind, Ham Eun Ho?
- Move. - But...
I said, move!
But, uh...
From this point on, I have to do the work.
We have an announcement to make. We are looking for a child.
His name is Kim Woo Joo. He is a boy.
He is likely wearing a patient's gown.
I'll repeat that once more.
We are looking for a child named Kim Woo Joo.
Hey, Ham Eun Ho. Did you take him...
- What's wrong with him? - Where did you go?
- Get him on a bed now. - Okay. Give him to me.
He's in V-Fib. Get the defibrillator.
- Should I charge it? - Yes, to 100.
- Don't do it. - What are you doing?
- It's cardiac tamponade. - What?
(When blood builds up between the heart muscle and pericardium)
Get rid of this and get me an 18 gauge.
Dr. Yoo Ri is the attending doctor.
Why don't you let her do it if it's difficult?
Swab.
Needle.
Woo Joo.
What are you doing to my son?
I asked you what you're doing to my son!
Ma'am, please calm down.
Please keep her from contaminating the area.
Doctor, where did you find him?
Where did you find him?
Woo Joo, Woo Joo!
Check his vitals.
(Episode 2)
Hey, Oh Soo Min.
I told you not to get involved so recklessly.
Why would you act on your own?
With one little mistake and one chance you give them,
don't you know that you could cause trouble?
We are Mother Mary's soldiers.
We follow the policies laid out. We obey when orders are given.
I was just worried that he might run away.
I was only going to hold onto him briefly until you arrived.
But that doctor suddenly showed up.
You keep talking back to me.
You sure put up a lot of these.
So, did you see who it was?
What was its name again?
- Should I look into it? - I will look into it.
Just clean this place up and go.
That's the doctor I told you about.
Father Moon?
It's been a long time.
Dr. Ham Eun Ho.
How is the boy? Is he okay?
What was all that about earlier?
Earlier?
What are you referring to?
Earlier, patient Kim Woo Joo from room 709...
I'm asking what you were doing to him in here.
Oh, that...
I was just praying.
What?
- Praying? - Yes.
What kind of prayer requires you to tie someone up?
I was just being safe in case he fell off.
I'll ask you one more time.
What were you doing here earlier?
Who are you calling?
If you don't want to talk here, should we go to the police station?
Why would you bring up the police right now?
And about before...
What is your relationship to Kim Woo Joo anyway?
Goodness. What relationship?
I was merely...
looking for him because I heard he was missing.
I cannot communicate with you.
Exorcism.
That child is possessed by an evil spirit.
Father Oh is a priest that serves the Lord.
He was trying to save that child.
So, he was performing an exorcism.
Yes, this is the Seoul Central Police.
How can I help you?
Hello? Hello?
(Emergency)
He's a minor who came in yesterday with internal bleeding.
That child almost died again today.
But what are you saying? Exorcism?
I'm sorry.
I know you can't believe it, Dr. Ham.
What are you doing telling her?
Do you two know each other?
Clean this up.
Where's Young Jin?
Sleeping.
Is there any food left?
Thank you.
Did you skip lunch?
That's a doctor's life.
You can't even eat a proper meal.
You work all day using your physical strength.
Parents don't know anything.
They put in so much effort to send their kids to medical school.
You shouldn't do that.
This seaweed soup is good.
It's like I'm raising two kids.
I'm okay with it.
You're a grown adult. Shouldn't you move out on your own?
Why do you keep trying to throw me out?
I'm a pitiful girl without a family.
Did something bad happen?
- No. - Yeah right.
It's obvious that you're really stressed out.
What is it?
It's nothing. It's nothing. Thanks for the meal.
I'll do the dishes in the morning.
Something happened.
Why isn't she telling me?
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
Hi.
You came alone. What can you do on your own?
Why did you do that to Ignatius?
Are you that curious?
What's the matter? Continue.
What do you think? Poor Ignatius.
Be patient.
You'll become more miserable than he is.
Poor Father Peter.
You're a pitiful priest who turns away from mistakes.
I'll end you myself.
He disappeared yesterday once again.
It seems like his doctor caught on...
and thinks Woo Joo is a bit odd.
I think they're also suspecting him of harming Father Jeong.
Honey, please!
Your work is not important right now.
Our family is rotting from the inside out.
Attention, please...
Daughters tend to feel loved by their parents...
through physical touches.
But since her younger sibling is always by your side,
she has no way of getting in between.
Her symptoms are caused by the stress she feels from it.
Then what should I do?
Don't worry too much.
Just show her more physical affection.
Since she can talk much, she will cry often.
But please don't push her away. Caress her.
It's not hard, is it?
No.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
Let's go.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Bye.
What brings Dr. Ham all the way here?
What do you mean?
Wait. Did I disturb you when you're busy?
No, not at all.
Actually,
I need your help regarding a patient.
Which patient?
He's around her age. It should be off-the-record.
Is that okay?
I can't keep secrets that well.
Fine, don't worry.
- The food isn't that great, is it? - It's not about the taste.
Sometimes, I just can't eat it.
It doesn't taste good at all.
But still, you need to eat to get better.
That way, you can go back to school and play with your friends.
Friends?
I don't have friends. They're all rivals.
What do you talk about with your parents?
With my mom,
I talk about goals...
and ranks.
- And with your dad? - I don't have one.
I only live with my mom.
Woo Joo, make sure you eat well.
You can sleep whenever you want.
Here, you can do whatever you want. Okay?
If I sleep as much as I want,
when will I reach my goal?
I won't be able to.
You have to sacrifice your sleep.
My mom didn't say this.
It's through my own experience.
I get it now.
That's why you scratched your body.
In order to fight off sleepiness.
Sometimes, when you get sleepy, don't you go out for some air?
When?
Two days ago at night.
You left your bed to go out for some fresh air.
I can't remember.
Really?
Then do you remember that time when you injured your stomach?
Of course. There was a hole in my stomach.
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
Is your friend here?
No.
I said I didn't have any friends, you fool.
Jeong, a former priest who stabbed...
a young child on November 15,
was found dead in prison early this morning.
Jeong was to be put on trial in two days.
Reporter Seo Dong Hoon will give you the details.
What? What is it?
When a child is placed in a competitive environment...
while having lower self-esteem than others his age,
the stress will significantly increase.
In Woo Joo's case, it has surpassed the early stages,
and he is showing symptoms of somatization.
But there is an inexplicable something...
inside him.
What is it?
- Is your friend here? - No.
I said I didn't have any friends, you fool.
It's like...
an unfamiliar presence.
An unfamiliar presence?
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
(A mother must do well for the child to be well.)
Woo Joo, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
My dear, you're still so young.
I've been paying attention to others.
I'm sorry to make you suffer.
Also...
No matter what happened between you and Father Jeong,
I'll be on your side to my grave.
You know that, right?
You don't have to.
The die is thrown.
What do you mean?
Since you worried that I would have bad English pronunciation,
you cut my tongue.
Don't you remember?
I'm fine with that.
You lied to the doctor...
that I was having a hard time breastfeeding.
You made me get surgery.
Woo Joo, that was even before your first birthday.
Thanks to you.
I feel like a new person.
Thank you so much for being born again.
There's no limit to man's greed.
We see what we want to see.
Fireflies in the fire,
and they only live a day,
want to see what they desire.
You are not Woo Joo.
(Ham Eun Ho)
The Vatican has replied.
They can't officially approve.
Submit a report afterward.
Just like always, do you understand?
Thank you.
He used impious expressions and words.
His body moved in ways that can't be explained medically.
In addition to that,
he was extremely aggravated by the cross and prayer.
A person with this kind of symptom...
is called energumen.
Energumen?
Yes, energumen.
A person possessed by an evil spirit.
Someone who needs...
an exorcism.
Your son needs help.
Stop it, please.
You knew it all this time, haven't you?
You knew it, but you ignored it.
What are you talking about?
You know what time he wakes up and goes to bed.
You know everything about his condition.
You know his every move.
There's no way you didn't know.
You also knew that Father Jeong was an exorcist, right?
If you want to talk about that,
talk to my lawyer.
The case has closed.
Father Jeong committed suicide this afternoon in jail.
There's no turning around.
That boy...
is not your son.
He's the devil pretending to be your son.
The devil inside your son...
will harm Woo Joo.
Before that, please allow exorcism.
To withstand a severe ordeal which can't logically be explained,
your son is now utterly exhausted.
He won't last long.
Doctor Ham.
Were you acquainted with Kim Woo Joo before?
What do you mean?
Whenever he disappeared, you found him.
Have you two been playing hide and seek or what?
But why is he running out of his ward like that?
Did you talk to him?
I not sure why he ran away.
Is that so? But why did he...
His mother wants to transfer him to another hospital.
Pardon?
That's right. During a meeting...
The director was furious about the fact that...
a VIP patient wanted to transfer.
Are you sure we are safe?
There's nothing to get us in trouble, right?
- Yes. - Good.
So the director wants you to personally transfer him.
- Pardon? Me? - Yes, he picked you out to do so.
You operated on him.
And you found him every time he ran away.
I think that's why.
Why? Are you not confident enough?
No.
Out of the way.
- Ms. Song. - Yes.
- Take good care of him. - Yes.
- Doctor Ham is coming along. - Understood.
- I'm taking off. - Good luck.
- Thanks. - Please, sign here.
We will also be leaving now.
- You are going to leave too, right? - Yes.
It'd be best for you to arrive first and get things processed.
All right.
I'm going to go grab another doctor.
About Father Jeong...
I'm deeply sorry.
After what had happened to Woo Joo,
I asked Father Jeong to take care of Woo Joo.
Woo Joo also liked Father Jeong a lot.
I don't think that Father Jeong...
would've ever harmed Woo Joo.
He's been taking good care of Woo Joo.
Please save my son.
Because of his foolish mother,
that little child is suffering a great pain.
Exorcism or whatever it is...
I can do anything to save him.
Please...
Father. Please, save my child.
Thank you...
for trusting Father Jeong.
Thank you.
Hey, learn how to drive.
What's the problem? Is it speed or comfort?
Yong Pil, how much longer do we have to go?
Let's see.
About 24 minutes. We'll get there in 20 minutes.
Where did they go?
They said they would wait.
- They must have left. Let's go. - Okay.
Yes?
Hello?
This is the ambulance that's taking the patient, Kim Woo Joo, right?
Where are you?
You can't just leave like that without saying a word.
Didn't you say you're going to come with another doctor?
Is that so? I thought you guys were coming separately.
Oh, my.
We can't turn the car right now.
All right,
we'll see you there. Okay.
Look at you. You could be an actor.
How could a priest be so good at acting?
I know.
I'm pretty good at acting. Wasn't it natural?
Who said you could joke around during the ritual?
- It's been 10 minutes... - Right.
since they left, and they can't turn the car around.
Okay, I know where they are. Hold on tight.
Doctor, over there.
- That one? Is it that one? - Yes. I think so.
But they're going in the wrong direction.
Hurry, and call the ambulance.
Okay.
Hello.
Where in the world are you?
How is the patient doing?
Goodness, he is doing completely fine.
His vitals are stable. You don't have to worry.
Gosh.
You're driving quite roughly.
Sorry?
You're that priest, right?
Priest? What priest?
What are you trying to do? Is Father Moon there as well?
Forget it. Just stop the car right now, okay?
Hello? Hello?
What? Hello? What?
- Darn it. - Who was it?
That female doctor is onto us.
Yong Pil, step on it.
Try to catch up with all your might.
- Hold on tight. - Again?
Gosh, the prices are crazy.
I was thinking about opening my own store after retiring,
but it just won't do. Goodness.
That car must be insane.
Why are we going this far?
- Mi So, call 911. - Yes?
- What? - Say a patient is being taken...
No, say that he is being abducted.
Okay.
6504. 6504.
Please, pull over.
6504.
Doctor, it's the police.
- Gosh. - I didn't even call them.
It's better off this way.
- Mi So. - Yes?
- Hold on tight. - Again?
What? 6504!
6504!
Stop the car! Stop the car!
Doctor, stop!
Are they deaf?
Do they think governmental authority is a joke?
6504... Stop. Hey!
Look at you.
Gosh, Doctor. That was the police.
I haven't gotten my medical resident yet.
We're almost here. They must be around here.
His body temperature is slightly high.
But his BP is 100 over 60, 90 beats per minute. No issues.
Let's start.
Hey. You ladies.
Didn't you hear me say stop? Let me see your driver's license.
I'm Doctor Ham Eun Ho, and I work at Southern Catholic Hospital.
"Ham..."
An emergency patient has been abducted...
while being transferred to another hospital.
He's a 10-year-old boy.
He suffered a heart arrest yesterday, so he's very unstable.
I chased you because you were speeding.
The ambulance that abducted the patient disappeared from here.
Why would an ambulance abduct a patient?
Give me your driver's license.
Let me find that boy first.
Afterward, you can charge me, okay? Let's go first.
- Hey, lady. Stop! - Hurry.
Gosh...
If a cop tells you to stop, please listen.
Woo...
Excuse me. Have you seen an ambulance crew...
and a boy patient this tall?
Thank you.
I'm pretty sure this is the place.
Who are you?
I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry.
What is it?
Who are you?
I'm the president of this place.
Hey, Doctor.
If you keep doing this, I'll have to cuff you, okay?
But what was that about the boy?
Well, it's...
Whatever this is about, we can talk in my office.
We don't have time for that.
Some men have disguised themselves as EMTs,
abducted a patient, and brought him here.
No one of that nature entered here.
I just saw them enter this place with my own eyes.
On top of that, the boy...
received two emergency surgeries. He's very unwell.
I think it's a misunderstanding.
I swear I saw them.
- Right? - Yes, I saw them as well.
Sir.
I just came here because you were speeding.
All right. I'll cooperate.
- You can look around. - Thank you, ma'am.
Goodness.
Not a single evil spirit escaped from here.
Take a good look around. This will be your deathbed.
Father, if you're not feeling well, I can do it.
I'll do it.
Let's end it quickly.
All right.
Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is
In heaven
Give us
This day
Our daily bread
And forgive us
Our debts
As we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
This is the last room.
Do you have any more places to check?
What do you do down there?
Sacred Father and the Son.
One who knows our deepest thoughts.
One who oversees all in this world.
You have nowhere to go from here.
If you reveal who you are,
I will end this for you as soon as possible.
Like he said, no one leaves this place alive.
Beasts will yield to the Lord's will.
Tell me your pitiful name.
It's starting...
Oh my.
Lord.
This beast who destroys your grapevines,
make him tremble in terror.
Lord.
I pray to you.
Take that evil spirit out of him.
Bring aid to his soul and flesh.
Bring strength and peace to him.
This is my personal space where I work.
That's everything.
- Mi So. - Yes?
Try calling that ambulance.
Oh, okay.
Doctor, the air isn't so good here. Let's go talk outside.
Hey, wait. Doctor!
Oh no. Hey, you.
Hey, open the door.
Hey, you...
Hey, look!
Open the door!
Hey, you can't just go in there.
St. Michael, protect us in this fight right now.
Protect us in our fight against Satan's evils.
Please hurry it up, would you?
Oh Soo Min, do you really not know?
How do you know my name?
Michael, don't lose focus!
The cross will be my light.
Confine this dragon back into the dark.
Become human and return.
Satan, be gone!
You were born from mating snakes.
You are nothing but maggots with mouths.
Creatures who pray with one end and have wastes come out the other.
Hurry up and finish it!
In the name of the Father...
Lord, touch this sick person.
Lord, please heal this sick being.
Amen!
Hold on a little longer. It's the last stage.
Father!
You can't be here. Get out.
- Don't you know this is dangerous? - Keep going.
What are you doing? Father!
Oh, Lord!
- Please help this sick man. - Amen.
Father, that's dangerous...
Through the strength given to me by the Lord and His light,
I ask you once again what your name is.
Seriously!
Woo Joo.
Father, are you crazy?
Woo Joo, wake up.
Don't touch him. The ritual is not over yet.
Ritual? Can't you see he's barely breathing?
Woo Joo, wake up.
Oh no.
You should take him straight to the hospital.
Also, I know you're busy but I'll call you.
Please come in to make a witness statement.
- Okay. - You must be busy, so get going.
Leave this place to me.
Okay, then.
(Ham Eun Ho, Emergency Surgeon)
What were those men doing in there?
Praying.
Praying?
I really thought they were paramedics.
They had everything from their IDs to the paperwork.
We followed the manual, so it's all right.
I'll take full responsibility for all of this.
Pretend like you didn't witness anything.
Don't say anything.
Water...
Here.
Woo Joo, are you awake?
Yes.
But who are you?
We're the doctors who treated you.
You guys treated me?
What happened?
His mom's waiting at the hospital.
I told her it was a success and that he's on his way.
Will those doctors keep their mouths shut?
If there are any reports, let me know.
I'll cover it up.
Let's clean this place up first.
The police will immediately come here if they receive a report.
It's okay. I'll clean up here.
You can go back to the hospital and retrieve your belongings.
We've succeeded once again.
Ma'am.
- Woo Joo. - Mom.
Mom!
- Woo Joo. - Mom.
Woo Joo. Let me see you.
Is it really you?
- Woo Joo. - Mom.
Where were you?
I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry.
It's strange.
The sun is setting, but it's getting brighter.
Are you really fine?
Will you not do anything about the priests?
Don't tell me...
you knew about it.
In this world,
there are certain things that cannot be logically explained.
But just because they cannot be explained...
doesn't mean they don't exist.
Exorcism.
Is that it?
I was talking on behalf...
of my husband and me who love Woo Joo so dearly.
About what happened today,
I hope you don't tell anyone about it.
Thank you so much for doing your best to help Woo Joo.
Thank you.
Woo Joo.
Father.
Yes? What?
How...
did it know?
I'm talking about my name.
That's what evil spirits do.
They can even mimic your parents and relatives.
Keep nitpicking and remembering every single thing,
and you won't last long here.
Forget about it.
I don't think it has completely left.
It'll come back soon.
- Where to? - It's highly likely that...
it'll be the hospital, so check.
We can't spray every patient with holy water,
so spray it on every doorknob and fridge in each room.
You want me...
to go to the hospital alone?
I have somewhere to be.
(Southern Catholic Hospital)
Ignatius.
Why did it have to be you?
Why?
(Exorcism)
Just go home and rest, will you?
I have to do a round at dawn. I'm afraid I won't wake up.
Making sure you're in good condition is also a competence.
I'm just nervous, that's why.
This is more comfortable for me.
(Exorcism)
(Priest)
Although what you are doing is right, you shouldn't.
There's a devil inside of her.
Do you expect me to believe the devil is in Mi So?
You've seen it, and you still won't believe it?
Have you found him?
Yes, but it doesn't seem easy.
We'll soon find out whether this place is safe or a trap.
You've seen it and experienced it.
There must be an error.
Don't we need her or her guardian's permission?
This is not a request, it's an order.
Do you think you can possibly take care of patients?
Were you going to hesitate...
if he was a patient and not an energumen?
Did something really get out of the body?
Even if you turn a blind eye to this danger, it won't disappear.
If this symptom came from working hard, then isn't it a good thing?
Once the devil realizes your identity, it will attack you.
It eats away...
an energumen's will to live.
Are you also an energumen?
