Doctor Stranger
Why are you doing surgery...
...on my patient without my permission?
Why are you just standing there?
Take her to the patient room.
Yes, sir.
Let me ask you for a favor.
What favor?
Her life is in danger if she goes into shock again.
So...
I've seen a hundred times the patients you have.
Wise up, you arrogant child.
Professor Cho.
You're going too far.
Oh Soo Hyun, keep your mouth shut.
Professor Cho, watch your mouth please!
You little! Who do you think you are?
What's all this about?
Oh, Manager Han.
Is this how you discipline your team?
Is this how you discipline in internal medicine?
- What? - Hey, *Hyungnim!
[Hyungnim: Older brother or older male]
- Keep calm! - Let go!
- They haven't started surgery. - Let me go!
Stop.
Let me go!
Go away!
Let go!
Are you okay?
What's going on?
I found the patient...
...for our second match.
I found the perfect patient.
[Episode 12]
Take a look.
You started all this mess for that patient?
What do you think it is?
There's bleeding around the stent implanted in the RCA.
[RCA: right coronary artery]
Were you planning surgery for that?
It could hemostasis naturally.
You don't have to worry unless she gets cardiac tamponade.
What if she did?
If there's cardiac tamponade...
...it's very unlikely it'll hemostasis naturally.
It doesn't seem controlled with just medication.
That's a question for internal medicine.
What if we give it a shot?
Don't you remember you told me...
...I get to choose the second patient for our next match?
I would like to choose her.
In that case...
...the winner does the surgery?
Yes.
If you do the surgery and save the patient...
...you can claim victory.
Sounds good.
Dr. Han.
Let's go.
I'm starting to like this competition thing.
Should we make it a hundred rounds?
If Dr. Han does the surgery, you'll lose.
It doesn't matter as long as we save the patient.
Dr. Park!
Don't worry! Even if he succeeds it'd be 1:1.
We'll still have one more chance.
We can win that.
Right?
Bye for now!
Can you do it, Jae Joon?
I should.
The patient might die if we leave it.
Internal medicine will make an issue out of it.
I can ask the director for permission.
I'm sure he'll allow it if I tell him...
...it's due to complications from surgery.
But, you know...
What if something goes wrong?
What do you mean by that?
This patient might be the victim of a medical accident.
What if internal medicine...
...made a fatal mistake and they're hiding it?
What year is he in?
He's in his third year, Mr. Director.
You let a third-year student do a stent surgery...
...a professor should do?
I'm so sorry.
Leave.
I'm sorry.
What should we do?
We'll be sued if her guardian finds out...
...the surgery was performed by a student...
...without their permission.
Send him to the branch hospital...
...after you teach him a good lesson.
I will, sir.
- Her family doesn't know yet, right? - No.
How's the patient doing?
She has some bleeding...
...but we expect it to hemostasis naturally.
Good. It has to...
...or else this is the end for you and I, and our hospital.
Jae Chul!
What is it?
It's a hairclip.
I'll put it on for you.
How do I look?
Gorgeous!
Thank you.
I'll recover faster if you do too.
I want to forget about everything....
...including you and Hoon.
Hoon's mom!
I'm so sick of you!
Oh, doctor!
Hi.
How's your mom doing?
Well.
How come you didn't do the surgery?
Something happened...
...but we'll do it soon.
You'll do it?
Hmmm... I might do it...
...or the boss of thoracic surgery might.
Boss?
Yes.
His name is Han Jae Joon.
He's not the nicest person, but he's very skilled.
But I like you more.
You must be close with your mom.
Of course, she's my mother.
Your mother?
Kim Tae Sool speaking.
The premier is looking for you, sir.
Tell him I'm out.
Where should I tell him you are?
Tell him I'm on my way to deliver the doll.
He'll know.
Hoon, you're here.
Do you not have a mom, doctor?
I don't have a mom like yours, Jae Chul.
What do you mean?
Something happened.
Your dad's coming.
Oh, dad!
Here.
Oh, you scared me!
You got smart!
What?
You shifted the responsibility...
...to Han Jae Joon. Brilliant.
It's just about the patient. Nothing brilliant about that.
She's a patient who could start a lawsuit.
The kids at internal medicine did it this time.
A third-year student did the stent surgery...
...which should have been performed by a professor.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't tell you anymore.
Just be clear about one thing, Dr. Kim.
Were you the one...
...who operated on that patient?
If a medical student does surgery...
...without permission from the guardian...
...there's no way out of a lawsuit.
That doesn't sound good.
What?
What if Dr. Han says he won't do it?
It's not your business.
If he doesn't do it, it'll be 2:0.
Game over.
You, you...
...look very suspicious sometimes!
What?
Are you really a doctor?
Of course I'm a doctor. I'm not a patient.
You look like a patient.
A very ill patient.
You're a patient!
You little!
You found a patient for the match-up?
Yes.
Dr. Park suggested it and I agreed.
Oh, really?
Can I take a look?
It's simple.
As long as I succeed with the surgery...
...it will be a point for me.
No. Not that patient.
If I don't do it...
...Dr. Park will get to do the premier's surgery.
I still can't allow it.
Is it because of the potential lawsuit?
You knew?
And you still want to do surgery?
If it's because of that...
...we can explain that there was a mistake...
...during the first surgery.
You think her guardians will let it go that easily?
I'll convince them.
Convince?
Wrong. You have to threaten them.
I haven't seen a single case where we tried to convince someone...
...that didn't end up in a lawsuit.
If we leave her, she'll get worse!
She might die, sir!
There are many patients who die from complications.
We can save her with a surgery.
Just watching a patient...
...because you're scared of a lawsuit is illogical.
Internal medicine said they've got this.
Director!
Let sleeping dogs lie.
If words get out that a third-year student...
...did a surgery a professor should have...
...we'll be immediately disqualified to perform the premier's surgery.
We can stop the lawsuit if we admit our mistake...
...and convince her guardians.
Keep your mouth shut!
Did you forget you were on your knees begging me...
...and said you'd do whatever I tell you to do?
What's the reason?
What's your real reason for...
...giving special attention to that patient?
I'm sorry, director...
...but as a doctor...
As a doctor?
It hurts your morals?
Fine.
If you're really that insistent on it...
...I'll let her be the patient for the second match.
Yes, director?
Sorry?
To your office?
Okay.
Sure, then I'll see you... Okay.
Let's go.
Why?
The director wants to see you.
Oh man! I don't want to see him.
You fool...
Stop complaining and follow me.
Hurry!
Hello.
It's about the second match.
I think it's already been decided.
I know!
Follow me.
You all know who she is.
It's 1:0 so far?
Yes, sir.
We'll decide on her...
...as you wish.
Instead, there's a requirement to determine the winner.
Do we win if we successfully do the surgery?
No.
The winner will be the one who doesn't touch the patient.
Pardon?
Whoever does surgery on the patient will lose.
Understood?
Dr. Han already lost once, right?
If you do surgery, it'll be two losses.
It's best out of three...
...so we won't even need the third match.
It'll be the end for you, Dr. Han. Okay?
The deadline is tomorrow.
If neither of you can do it...
...we'll find another patient thereafter. That's it.
Are you going to do surgery?
Let's find another patient.
You'll hang on by a thread?
Can you not see the patient?
Then I'll do it...
...but let me borrow your Quack.
It's not going to be a simple surgery.
Oh? Doctor!
I'll do your mom's surgery. Please be patient with me.
Really?
I need to gather a team first.
What? What do you want now?
Don't worry, okay?
Okay, doctor!
- Let go, let me go! - Take your gown off.
What are you doing?
Leave immediately. I'm giving you until tomorrow off.
A day off?
Actually, you can stay at home and relax...
...until I call you.
There's no use, master.
I said no!
Once you start her surgery...
...that'll be the end of our relationship.
You know I don't lose anything, right?
You don't need money?
You need to bring your girl back.
Well, that's kind of true.
But we still have one more round left even if we lose this one.
No way.
Leave now.
Follow me. Come on.
You're only doing Han Jae Joon a favor...
...if you perform surgery on her.
Her guardians will also be happy.
You're in middle of a death match.
There's no room to worry about patients' guardians...
...or anyone else.
It's important at a hospital!
That's exactly why you shouldn't do it.
If we get involved in a lawsuit...
...the competition, Myung Woo Hospital...
...and everything else will burn to ashes. Don't you get it?
Please, master!
Stop and follow me.
I'll make you leave.
Come on. Follow me.
What?
Get out, get out, get out!
Follow me. Come on.
Hello! Taxi!
Stay quiet like a dead fish until I call you.
Okay?
Hey! Who are you?
Where... Where is that guy?
Darn it!
Jae Hee!
Dr. Han, are you busy today?
Dr. Park...
What? Is something wrong?
You're so funny!
Hello.
Park Hoon.
Oh, Dr. Park!
Your *Sunbae is a really funny guy.
[Sunbae: Upperclassman]
- Sunbae? - Did you already forget?
We were rivals at...
...the research institute for Our Majesty.
Rivals!
- Let's go out. - Sounds good.
We should catch up.
Before you leave...
...what do you call miniskirt in North Korea?
It's called a chopped skirt.
Chopped skirt!
Why were you at the hospital?
Me?
It was just to pay you...
...a visit, Dr. Park.
Won't you be in trouble...
...showing your face to everyone around here?
There's no reason for me to go there if you behave.
What are you talking about?
That patient from internal medicine...
I heard the person who does her surgery will lose.
We still have one more chance even after we lose this.
Sure.
It'll be 1:1.
It's going to be very exciting.
The finals are left.
- So let me... - Well...
I'm not here to indulge the excitement.
I'm only here for my mission.
Mission?
It's a hundred times more important than...
...the mission you screwed up two years ago.
To earn foreign currency again?
How is that related to the premier's surgery?
You'll find out eventually.
You just have to remember...
...our country is also very interested in this mission.
So they got trash involved?
Yes.
That trash brought Song Jae Hee here.
I brought the girl you'll give your life for...
...and I can take her away anytime.
Dead...
...or alive.
You would have already killed her...
...if that was what you wanted.
But I didn't.
Well.
If you want...
...I can show you the grace of Our Majesty.
Grace?
We can set you free.
Doesn't it make your heart pound just to think about it?
Being together...
...with the woman you love....
...and spending the rest of your life...
...worry-free?
No need to hide.
I'll never come find you again.
I can also give you money...
...so you'll be comfortable.
As long as we achieve our mission.
Just remember.
When we finish our mission...
...you and Song Jae Hee...
...can be happy.
Dr. Han.
Can you see?
We've been through...
...many obstacles to get to where we are now.
In that time...
...we've had a few serious lawsuits...
...regarding medical accidents...
...but I never...
...allowed them to harm Myung Woo in any way.
That's how I've stayed director to this very day...
...and I accept you as my heir.
I'm sorry to cause you worry.
It's the second match.
Choose two patients you feel...
...comfortable with and show off. No need to worry.
Keep in mind...
...if you want to be the lord of Myung Woo...
...you have to be more than a doctor.
[Head Thoracic Surgeon Han jae Joon]
They said it's a simple surgery.
Don't worry about it.
It's still surgery. I'm concerned.
Why couldn't you get sick...
...after I grow up a bit more, dad?
Why?
Did you already forget?
I told you I want to be a doctor.
That's right!
You did!
It doesn't matter.
You can get well this time...
...and I'll let you get sick again later...
...when I become a doctor.
You want your dad to be sick? Silly!
So what?
I can save you.
Alright.
I might get really sick later on.
Promise me you'll be a great doctor, Sung Hoon.
Promise?
For sure, dad.
Don't forget!
My dad was Lee Do Sun, and my name is Lee Sung Hoon.
Remember that.
Remember who'll come for you!
If you do surgery, it'll be two losses.
It's best out of three...
...so we won't even need the third match.
It'll be the end for you, Dr. Han.
I can't do anything...
...if I want to destroy the castle.
I'm sorry.
Is my mom alright?
Mom?
Mom, are you sleeping?
She's asleep every time I come see her.
Should I get a nurse to wake her up?
It's alright.
She never slept at home...
...because she was so sick.
What's your name?
Jae Chul.
Jae Chul?
[Han Jae Joon]
Is your name Han Jae Joon, doctor?
No.
Then?
Doctor, do you know Dr. Park Hoon?
I do.
He talked about you.
Dr. Park Hoon did?
He said Dr. Han Jae Joon has a really good personality...
...and is very skilled.
I'm sure he didn't say that.
He actually said you're not the nicest...
...but it's true he said you're very skilled.
Dr. Park Hoon said...
...he'll do mom's surgery tomorrow.
If something comes up and he can't do it...
...can you do it please?
If Dr. Park Hoon said he'll do it...
...he'll keep his word.
I think so too...
...but...
...he wasn't able to this afternoon.
If he can't do it...
...could you, please?
Jae Chul.
You'll do it, right?
Okay. I'll think about it.
You don't think Dr. Han will do the surgery?
He probably won't.
I'm concerned about Dr. Park.
What about Dr. Park?
He'd go mad trying to save a patient.
Did he ask you to do anesthesia?
Not yet.
Will you do it if he asks?
I'm not sure.
Did he ask you to be his first assistant, Dr. Oh?
You know he calls me a quack.
He said he asked you today.
Well, that was because...
...it was supposed to be a secret surgery.
Can I borrow your hands?
Dr. Park...
...is so silly. Don't you think?
He said I'm losing my hair...
...because I left a single strand on him...
...and he massaged my scalp like this.
I've never seen anyone like him.
Sometimes he seems so mature...
...but then he turns into a kid.
I have no idea.
Do you like him?
What?
You always smile when you talk about him.
No way.
He drives me crazy.
It's hard to keep my fist still. I want to punch him...
...like this.
Just kidding.
The housing rates that have been increasing in Seoul...
...since last January dropped by 0.03% this month.
What an odd country.
They're under threat of nuclear testing.
I think we failed this time.
Failed?
Then do you think things will get hectic...
...if we ask them for a few cannon shots?
What about the two doctors at Myung Woo?
Things could end today...
...or we might have to wait a bit more.
Since they are already in it...
...I want it to be a bloody battle.
It'll draw more customers.
We should also get ready...
...as our gladiators are preparing for battle.
Yes, sir.
[Myung Woo Hospital]
[President of the Republic of Korea]
This is very different from twenty years ago.
People don't get stirred up like they used to...
...when North Korea declares a nuclear test.
It's just not seen superficially.
Good reporters are staying in...
...and foreign reporters are continuously going back.
We've already lost more than...
...what the North initially requested.
You seem to enjoy the state of crisis, premier.
Excuse me.
It's to get ready for everything.
I mean to get ready for...
...a reason to call a summit.
These hospitals are candidates for...
...my heart surgery.
Was the director of this hospital...
...your family doctor in the past?
Yes, in the past.
Which hospital do you have in mind, premier?
Me?
It's for your heart surgery.
I'm partial to Min Gook Hospital.
La la la!
I love you.
Just practicing!
What's the matter with him? He's crazy.
How can I help you?
I found this on my way.
When are you done?
Japanese, Chinese, Shanghai cuisine... You name it.
You, you...
...have a hot body.
You need to find some manners!
Just as I suspected...
...she's something.
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
I don't think you know me very well.
I'm a one-shot-one-kill kind of guy. I hit on...
There're a lot of people watching.
[Victory Tae Kwon Do]
Oh, wow!
[Victory Tae Kwon Do]
Remember that, you dirty jerk!
God, that was...
...unexpected.
Hey, lady!
Oww, here...
Hey!
- Jeez! - What are you doing here?
Is your mom doing well?
Yeah.
What's that?
I brought it for you. I figured you didn't have any breakfast.
I was getting pretty hungry.
Thanks.
See you soon!
You want to operate on a patient from internal medicine?
Yes.
Are your hands better?
Yes, they are.
When are you planning it?
As soon as we have scrub team and an anesthesiologist ready.
Will you ask Nurse Min to be on the scrub team?
Yes, why?
I think Nurse Min has a night shift.
Why don't you find someone else. I'll ask around.
Ah.
Okay.
Can I ask you for a favor then?
Sure.
Park Hoon will do surgery on an internal medicine patient?
I need your help, Dr. Yang.
I thought you'll lose if you do surgery on that patient?
Is that why?
You can think whatever.
I want the best for the patient...
...so please help him.
Alright.
Seung Min's dad, have some tea.
Can you ask them to reschedule you...
...for a night shift tomorrow?
Dr. Han!
Do you have surgery now?
Later.
When will you be done?
It's a simple one.
It won't take long.
Let me know when you're done. Let's do the OP CABG.
[OP CABG: off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting]
You're taking on the patient from internal medicine?
Of course.
- But... - We still have a chance after this.
It's only best of three.
Does he know about it too?
Cha Jin Soo?
Doesn't matter.
No. Don't do it.
I understand you...
...but I can't just watch idly.
You said you'll do what I say.
Let's do what he tells us to do for now. Please?
I promised her family...
...that I'll do her surgery.
Hoon!
I can't disappoint them.
Hey, Park Hoon.
What about me then?
I warned you there won't be a finale.
If the patient dies...
...it'll mean a lawsuit.
Then this hospital will be disqualified...
...from doing the premier's surgery.
How does that sound?
You don't have to worry about that.
Please.
I'll do all it takes to win the third round.
Let me do surgery on this patient.
What are you doing?
Repeat after me.
"I do what Cha Jin Soo says."
Stop.
That's not what I wanted to hear.
Say it.
I...
...do what Cha Jin Soo says.
Repeat it.
I do what Cha Jin Soo says.
Good.
Just do what I say.
Are you alright?
I'm sorry.
It's because of me.
Doctor!
My mom is...
Doctor!
Doctor, what happened?
We're looking for the exact cause.
We suspect it's genetics...
...or the side effect of a medication.
Are you sure the surgery went well?
We do thousands of stent surgeries every year.
The risk factor is less than 1%.
Even if there are complications...
...those who suffer...
...have completely different symptoms than your wife.
I don't know what nonsense you've heard...
...but doubts like that are only going...
...to harm you and the patient.
I'm sorry, doctor.
What happened?
It's none of your business.
She's continuously suffering from...
...cardiac arrest due to cardiac tamponade.
We'll take care of it.
Get lost.
Doctor.
Don't worry. I'll...
Doctor, will you do my mom's surgery?
Doctor!
Doctor, what's the matter?
Doctor!
Are you alright?
Doctor...
Doctor!
When's Dr. Park's surgery?
He canceled it.
Why?
I have no idea.
Will...
...the patient...
...be alright?
Why?
She just had another episode of cardiac arrest...
...from cardiac tamponade.
Doctor!
Jae Chul.
Dr. Park Hoon won't do it.
Can you please do my mom's surgery?
You said you'll do it...
...if Dr. Park Hoon doesn't.
Doctor!
Please save my mom!
Doctor!
Please save my mom!
Save my dad! Bring him back!
Bring my dad back!
Bring him back!
Doctor, please save my mom!
Doctor!
Please save my mom! Doctor!
Please save my mom!
Doctor...
You said you'd do the surgery!
You said so!
- I can't. - Why not?
I just can't.
I can't.
You can.
You'll have one more chance.
I said can't.
You promised them.
Why aren't you doing it?
You're a doctor.
You should keep your word to a patient.
I acted...
I just acted like a doctor.
I'm not a doctor.
Stop it with your nonsense.
She's dying.
You want to win that badly?
I can't afford to lose.
That's why I'm not a doctor.
You dirty jerk.
I thought...
...you were a real doctor.
I thought you were different than I am.
Call my teammates to my office.
You're operating on a patient from internal medicine?
As you all know...
...this surgery...
...goes against the director's will.
Exactly.
Let me know now if you don't want to be part of it.
I don't know what will happen to me...
...after the surgery.
I'm still a student so...
...I'll pass on this.
I'll ask you one thing.
Will you be responsible for us...
...if we get fired for this surgery?
I'll do my best.
Fine.
I'm in.
Me too.
I'm in.
Me too.
Fine.
We'll just finish before director finds out.
Is that even possible?
Then let's get ready.
Doctor!
You'll do it?
I always believed you would.
Dr. Han's doing Lee Gyu Eun's surgery?
Yes.
Hurray!
Game over.
What?
Han Jae Joon's doing the surgery for...
...that patient from internal medicine.
It's 2:0.
This will be my last surgery here.
Are you going to be alright?
My dad's really going to be mad.
I can't tell you everything...
...but I can say this from my heart.
My feeling for you...
...were genuine, Soo Hyun.
Relax. Everything's gonna be alright.
Doctor! Are you here for my mom too?
Doctor!
Please take good care of her.
I'm sorry.
I'm still part of your team, right?
Yes.
What did you say?
It's what you heard.
How can you trust someone...
...who doesn't understand you?
He finally did it!
Dr. Oh!
It's okay.
That's your spot.
Are you all ready?
Messer.
Director.
Shut your mouth. I know.
I got nothing to do with it.
Sir, the director is here.
Stay focused. Get ready for grafting.
- Sir. - Quickly!
Let me talk to Dr. Han!
Stop immediately!
I'll let her family know when the procedure is done...
...and apologize.
Shut up!
Wrap it up and leave!
That's too bad.
I'll forgive you for everything if you leave now.
Now!
I'll leave after the surgery is done.
After the surgery is done?
Everyone in that room, listen up!
Leave the room now...
...or I'll make your lives miserable as doctors.
What are you scared of?
You just stay put!
If you tell the truth and apologize to her family...
...from bottom of your heart...
...there won't be a lawsuit.
I've never seen any case work like that!
That's because you've never apologized...
...from the bottom of your heart.
We were greedy about our pride and money...
...and ignored the people who lost...
...their children and parents.
Shut up!
I'll show you that...
...you were wrong.
Dr. Han! Dr. Han!
Focus. Let's move on.
Best of luck, Dr. Keum.
Concentrate!
Direction.
S-sir...
Let's try to get the bleeding under control.
Suction.
Please take good care of her.
If there's a table death...
...call for a disciplinary committee meeting.
What should be the reason?
They did pulled a surgery from another department...
...without proper permission.
Shall I add that they went against you?
Add that and get ready for lawsuit as well.
Lawsuit?
Yes.
Tell him to tell the truth like he wants.
Tell them Han Jae Joon killed a patient in surgery.
Blame everything on him.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Hey!
You should've watched your step.
Where are you going?
No need for you to know.
Bring more blood.
Blood! We need more blood.
Suction.
Vital?
Blood pressure is falling.
Did you find it?
I can't see it.
Stay calm.
But sir...
I told you to stay calm!
Keum Bong Hyun!
Please, let me.
Why do you all look so guilty?
You didn't do anything wrong. Keep your heads up.
The people up there should be ashamed. Look.
That's right.
Be confident.
You're the only real doctors in this hospital.
