MOM
But Hun is your son too.
I want everything that has to do with you gone from my life including Hun.
You're his mother.
Don't ever call me again.
MOM
Hello?
Hun, is that you?
Yes,
I'm Hun.
My goodness.
I can't believe this is happening.
I never thought you would call.
Where is my mother?
Your mother went to South Korea
20 years ago to look for you.
She asked me not to change this number in case you would call.
That's why I kept it until now.
I can't believe you called.
Why did it take you this long to call?
Your mother told me
to tell you this
in case you ever called.
She said that she's sorry.
She said
she made the wrong decision.
I'm sorry.
I made the wrong decision.
I didn't know
what you were going through.
But don't forget.
Don't forget that I love you
more than anything in this world.
I'm sorry, my son.
I'm going to find you.
So stay healthy, okay?
I envy your son.
I'm sure you'll meet him, so you should stay healthy too.
Mom.
I'm sorry, my son.
Mom.
Hello?
It's me.
So did you see your mother?
What did you do to her?
Well...
What did you do to my mother?
We didn't do anything to her.
But don't forget.
We are capable of doing anything.
You don't have time to waste, do you?
You should go and meet her now.
Hello?
Well, well.
Their reunion will be so touching.
Park Hun is on his way there.
Okay. Got it.
She's to have her blood taken.
Okay, let's go.
Please wait outside.
Can you leave the door open?
Okay.
It'll sting a bit.
Yes?
Nothing in particular.
Yes, Sir.
Okay.
Where did she go?
She just left.
Did you see a patient with a stuffed animal?
I think I saw her leave the building.
Lee Mi-suk isn't in her room.
She's having her blood taken.
Excuse me.
Where is the patient with a stuffed bear?
She left a minute ago.
Where? She's not in her room.
That's strange. Her guardian asked the same thing.
Her guardian?
We're searching the entire place.
Okay.
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
You can't come inside.
I came to see Dr. Han Seung-hui.
She's in an operation.
What?
Lee Mi-suk disappeared?
I'm sorry, Sir.
I don't need your apology!
They must meet if I want to control Park Hun!
What if Park Hun took her out?
I don't think so.
Then what? She's not sane! She couldn't have left alone!
We're searching the entire hospital. We'll find her and...
Sir. It's Park Hun.
What is this about?
Chang I, I want you to listen to me very carefully.
She is
Hun's mother.
I'll explain later.
Can she stay with you?
Does he know?
She'll be in danger if he finds out.
I think you're more dangerous.
Chang I.
I know what you are.
I've seen you holding guns saying you'll kill someone.
They're trying to take advantage of her.
If they find out that she's disappeared, they're going to keep an eye on him.
Imagine what can happen if he tries to meet her.
Please,
I'm begging you.
For Hun and his mother.
You must not let anyone know.
I'm sorry to get you involved.
But you know
you're the only one
that Hun can really trust.
We can't find her.
We're still searching inside the hospital,
but I don't think she's here.
- Keep searching. - Yes, Sir.
So Park Hun's mother disappeared?
That's quite a problem now.
We can't use her when we need her.
None of this would have happened if you had let us take care of it.
Did you take her?
Why would we?
You don't have the right to decide
if I'm right or wrong.
Park Hun's mother disappeared.
Did you take her?
Weren't the prime minister's men keeping an eye on her?
It's only us and his men that know his mother is in this hospital.
Did you do it?
I was in the operating room.
I had no time for that.
But you have the motive.
It's Park Hun's mother.
Then go inside and search.
Really?
Then I hope you didn't do it.
Or else
I'll make sure to kill both of you.
- Good job. - Good job.
You shouldn't leave during an operation.
I'm sorry.
Next time, I'll cover for you.
You should. It's give and take.
PARK HUN
The number you have dialed is not...
Where does the prime minister live?
I was paid to take you somewhere.
Hun.
Did you send the taxi?
Your mother is fine.
So you knew it all along? You knew my mom was in Korea?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't know where she was.
That makes no sense!
Jang Seok-ju didn't tell us where she was.
He didn't trust me.
You're one of them.
Why wouldn't he trust you?
He was suspicious of me.
What?
Only after he saw that I had no scars
was when he believed that I'm not Song Jae Hui.
I had several surgeries before I came to Korea.
I had to make him believe that I was someone
similar to Song Jae Hui who was trained to confuse you.
It was only after I gained his trust that he told me everything.
Did it ever occur to you that I could be suspicious of you?
Never.
I believed you'd recognize me
even if my appearance changed.
Your mother is safe so wait just a little bit more.
I don't want to hear any more. Tell me where she is right now.
I can't.
Why? Why can't you?
I told you I have a plan.
You and your mother will be safe only if you go with my plan.
So, please...
So please, trust me and wait until that happens.
How can I trust you when you can't prove it?
How do I know if you really have my mother in a safe place?
How do I know if you don't have something else in mind?
- Hun. - I can't trust you. No.
Now I don't even know if you're Jae Hui.
I don't care about your plan.
I'm going to meet Jang Seok-ju right now.
I'll go to the police or the press if he doesn't take me to Mom.
Right, and you think he'll let you do that?
Then let him kill me.
What about your mother?
She was affected mentally from blaming herself for 20 years.
That's why I must see her.
To tell her that I'm also sorry.
To ask her to forgive me.
I want to say it to her.
Trust me this once, please.
Let me protect you
and your mother.
I promise you. Give me just one month.
Everything will be over in a month.
Please.
I'm asking you, please.
What you want to hear...
is inside this envelope.
JEIL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL RESTRICTED DOCUMENT
What is this?
Myeongwoo.
Mingook,
Jeil. Among the three,
Mingook was out
as soon as I chose it.
And if you use what I've just given you
to get Jeil
out of the game,
Myeongwoo will be
the only option left.
Then you can let Park Hun
join your hospital
once again.
The competition isn't over yet.
Yes, Mr. Oh.
I need you to call your journalist friends.
According to the Prosecutors' Office, Jeil Hospital which was chosen
to treat the prime minister, accepted regular bribes from
medical equipment companies that amounted to millions of won.
I'm afraid Mingook Hospital
should be the one to treat my heart.
Let's go with Myeongwoo.
That cunning old man.
It should have been that way from the beginning.
By the way.
Did you find Lee Mi-suk?
Not yet, Sir.
Do you think Cha Jin Su hid her somewhere?
I think it was Han Seung-hui.
Why would she do that?
I believe she is
Song Jae Hui.
What are you talking about? I checked myself, she had no scars.
But don't you think that hiding Lee Mi-suk to protect her
because she is Park Hun's mother
opens up the possibility of her being Jae Hui?
Jeil Hospital will be automatically disqualified.
You are quite useful after all.
I was always useful, Sir.
What should we do now?
About what?
I thought we would restart the competition.
With Park Hun?
Yes, Sir.
I thought you had your day off today.
I think I overreacted last night.
So you're going to Dr. Park's?
Yes.
To give him the leftover curry. We can't just throw it out.
I'll give it to him myself.
The curry?
Will you hold on a minute?
What? Why?
He might like it but he can't have it for every meal.
Tell him you'll cook curry for him some other time.
Okay. But did you take cooking lessons or something?
Let's say I did.
Thank you. I'll get it to him.
Hey, I...
I came to hear your apology.
Apology?
Yes.
For what you said last night.
I meant it. Why should I?
Come on.
Hey, Quack.
Do you really like me?
What?
Aren't you using that as an excuse to come and see me?
What? I really don't believe this.
Then leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to play.
- I didn't ask you to. - Then go.
Don't get me wrong.
Dr. Han made this for you and I just came to deliver it.
And I had an apology to hear from you anyway.
She made this for me?
Yes, she did.
Gosh, why did she have to ask me to deliver it?
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm also sorry for what happened last night so you can go now.
Okay.
I'm also sorry about yesterday.
Don't make your boyfriend get the wrong idea
and don't come here.
Take this back. I'm not eating it.
Why not? She made it for you.
I'm not eating it.
Do you really like me?
I'm not crazy. Why would I like you?
That jerk.
I told you to go.
Hey...
Yes?
Imagine what can happen if he tries to meet her.
You must not let anyone know.
What's going on?
You said you'd help me with deliveries.
- I did? - Yes. Who else did?
Hey, wait a second.
How is your mother doing?
What? Mother?
I heard she left the hospital. Make sure she eats well.
I can take care of my mother.
What's wrong with you today?
Excuse me. May I ask you something?
Is the clinic open?
Yes, of course.
- Are you not feeling well? - Yes, my heart...
Are you okay?
Take him inside.
You want a prescription for angina?
I was too busy so I stopped taking them.
But I ended up fainting once.
It could have been serious.
A blood clot blocked a blood vessel in your brain.
Thank goodness it was small because
if it was a large one, you wouldn't have been able to walk.
Can you inhale deeply?
I asked doctors in a big hospital to just prescribe me the medicine.
But they told me I need to have an operation.
And I have no money for that.
Which big hospital?
Myeongwoo Hospital.
We could have met there.
Okay. Would you lie down here?
I'm afraid you really need to undergo surgery.
I don't have money for that.
It could lead to something more serious.
Just prescribe me the medication for angina.
It can't be treated with medication.
Okay, I'll prescribe you...
Hi.
Restart the competition?
I thought Jeil Hospital was chosen.
Come on, what do you take me for?
I couldn't have just left obstacles getting in Myeongwoo's way
not taken care of, could I?
I'm not going back.
I can't even use that.
Ta-da! Look.
I don't need the money. Let Dr. Han treat the prime minister.
But he won't help me accomplish my father's wish.
But, Master... I mean...
Tell your father I'm sorry.
Bro!
- Hey, I know him. - You do?
Of course.
He's Dr. Yang's patient.
He left the hospital saying he can't afford the operation.
- Start the car. - Where are we going?
Go save him.
To Myeongwoo Hospital.
That's right! Good.
So he came back after all.
You shouldn't have let him go.
He couldn't afford the operation.
Can't you see he's almost dying?
Hey, Tomboy.
Okay, okay. I get it.
What about we go to the cinema later on?
Don't you have a life, Pervert?
Of course, I do.
Life isn't that easy for me either.
We can't operate on him if he can't pay.
I'll pay for his treatment. Just make sure he gets it.
You said one month?
Then it's been decided that our hospital will treat the prime minister?
Yes.
Mr. Oh, Dr. Park Hun is here.
Let him in.
Hey. I've got big news.
Just go and check the patients' vital signs in rooms three and nine.
Listen. Dr. Park is coming back.
- Really? - Yes.
Come on. Don't say that.
The score is one to zero, not one to one.
That's okay.
- Let's start from the score one to one. - Hey.
The team that operated on the patient from last time was supposed to lose.
Someone had to do it, didn't they?
Hey, don't!
Let him speak.
Yes, Sir.
So let say that my team lost that surgery.
That would mean Dr. Han and I have only one match to go.
I feel you're doing it out of pity which doesn't feel that nice.
It's not out of pity but out of respect for a good doctor.
Then we'll have the final match?
On the condition of the hospital paying for the surgery.
Male, age 45.
He came to the emergency room after collapsing two weeks ago.
His blood vessel in the brain was blocked by a blood clot.
It looks like a myocardial infarction.
As you can see, his coronary arteries, mitral valve
and left ventricular hypertrophy need to be treated.
So he will be the patient for our final match?
Interesting coincidence.
Female, age 53.
She was also hospitalized with symptoms of cerebral infarction.
There's increased ventricular fibrosis in this patient
due to prolonged coronary stenosis.
As you can see, her mitral valves need to be removed.
Her overall condition is very serious.
What's the plan?
We have a heart, so we'll transplant it to her.
Your patient might have to wait too long to find a donor.
That's why this is called a match.
A Ventricular Assist Device?
That's a lot of money. It costs more than 100 million won.
That patient left the hospital saying he can't afford an operation.
That's why I'm doing this competition.
What?
The VAD will function as his heart until he gets a transplant.
But these days, they make very good ones.
He will be able to function with no trouble for quite a long time.
And the hospital will pay for it. No more worries, right?
The VAD surgery is simpler and less dangerous than a transplant.
You can insist that we won after the surgery.
Now you're talking. I'm pleased to hear that coming from you.
Good. I like that.
A VAD surgery? That's very expensive.
Park Hun is clever.
I'm afraid we'll end in a tie.
No, that patient will not get the VAD.
You promised the hospital will pay for the operation.
It's not about the money.
Does the patient suffer from a blood coagulation disorder?
Yes, he can neither have a VAD nor a transplant.
Not even God can save him.
Then this match...
Dr. Han, there is one thing you must not forget.
The man I forgave last time
was the man my daughter loves.
Don't try to disobey me
because I haven't forgiven you personally.
Did you know that
Dr. Mun, whom you kicked out, played an important role
in making Myeongwoo get chosen to treat the prime minister?
You might not keep your position forever.
You can lose it anytime. Do you understand?
I do, Sir.
If you know that, you shouldn't be on good terms with Park Hun, should you?
How can you smile at the face of your enemy
you should have disposed of a long time ago?
I'm sorry, Sir.
Don't forget.
This isn't a game where you bet drinks with a friend.
Your future depends on this match.
I won't forget that, Sir.
Win.
You must win no matter what.
That's the only way you can have Myeongwoo.
Or you will lose everything.
Even the woman you love.
You were right. Park Cheol went to North Korea 20 years ago.
Did you find out why?
- To operate on their leader. - Their leader?
He was very welcomed after he successfully operated on him.
He promised our family to testify for us.
And one more thing.
He has a son.
- I know. - You do?
It's not a lot, but here's something for your trouble.
This is not what I want.
Let's get drunk all night long
like we used to at Harvard.
That's what I want.
Let me talk to you. Professor, please!
- Sung-hun, I'm not... - Mom!
Mom, what's wrong? Mom! Are you okay?
What's wrong? Mom, wake up. Mom!
Park Cheol.
Park Hun.
You were the son of that man.
Dr. Park!
- Hey, Quack. - Come in. I have something for you.
- I don't want anything. - Just come in.
- What's this? - It's your gown.
My gown?
PARK HUN
Congratulations and welcome back.
Congratulations?
Hey, Quack.
What's with that face?
What about it?
Never mind.
Is this the gown I threw in the rubbish bin?
Oh, does it smell?
- Try smelling it. - It doesn't smell at all.
I only smell perfume.
Come on.
That looks good on you.
Doctor.
Hello there.
What happened?
You're undergoing surgery tomorrow, so don't worry about anything.
I told you I can't afford it.
Don't worry about the money.
What?
You're going to get this in your heart. It's worth 100 million won.
You will be able to function normally until you get a transplant.
The hospital will pay for your treatment, so don't worry.
Okay?
Thank you, Doctor.
- Dad, are you okay? - Dad.
Yes, I'm okay.
Honey, don't worry about anything.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
Did you want to see me?
You said you had a plan
and that's why I can't see my mother.
Tell me what your plan is.
I asked you to wait.
I can't.
I can't wait an hour much less a month.
I can't tell you.
Tell me what your plan is.
- I can't tell you. - Why not?
- Why can't you tell me? - Because you'll be in danger then.
Do you think that makes sense?
Hun, just trust me and keep being a good doctor.
- Then you and your mother-- - A good doctor?
Is that what you want?
You have an operation tomorrow!
Tell me or I will never hold a scalpel again.
- Don't. - Tell me!
My plan is to meet the president.
Are you satisfied now?
You can't meet the president.
The treatment is for the president, not for the prime minister.
So if we are chosen, we will be able to meet him.
We'll be treating the president?
Then why did they say we'll treat the prime minister?
The president's illness is confidential.
He doesn't want people to know.
Why?
No one will listen to a dying president.
That's why he won't reveal it.
What about Jang Seok-ju?
Why does he want me in the operating team?
Because he wants to kill the president.
He will use your mother and me to threaten you.
So that you will do anything he asks.
If the president dies,
his power will be delegated to the prime minister.
And Jang Seok-ju wants that power.
So your plan is killing people
just as Jang Seok-ju asks?
He doesn't want to kill him.
He wants him to stay in a coma.
To maintain power as long as he wants.
So I thought if that happens, I'd be able to meet the president alone.
Promise me you'll save us and I will save you.
And you think that will work?
We'll die if it doesn't.
It's better than
not having any hope.
Why didn't you tell me you were planning something so dangerous?
I didn't think you should know.
But I will be operating on him!
Dr. Han might operate on him.
I'm going to ask Jang Seok-ju to choose Dr. Han.
Or I'm not going to cooperate with him anymore.
They could have chosen anyone. But why you? Why?
Because I love you.
Because I have to listen to them if I don't want them to kill you.
I didn't tell you because I felt you shouldn't get involved anymore.
So forget everything
that I just told you.
Now you can lose that match.
So don't give up becoming
the doctor you want to be.
Please.
For me?
It's nice.
We all get attracted to new and unique things.
Just like that bag.
I think Dr. Park is just like that bag.
You were drawn to him only temporarily.
I can't tolerate more than that.
We all get attracted to new and unique things.
Just like that bag.
You can have it.
You'll be back here soon.
No particular details?
None.
Then let's get him to the operating room.
I'm sorry for what happened last night.
You didn't forget what I asked you, did you?
You really don't have to worry about winning anymore.
Well, I'm sorry but now I want to win.
I won't let you go alone into any operating room.
- Hun. - Don't worry.
It's about saving the patient anyway.
Mr. Oh,
I think we'll have a hard time deciding the winner.
Both of them are good enough to successfully finish their operation.
So I think the one that finishes first should win.
It's not about time.
We'll choose the winner depending on the success of the operation.
But what if both of them are successful?
Well, I hadn't thought about that.
I think you should.
How about the position of an assistant professor in our branch?
He must not know the patient has a blood coagulation disorder.
What's more important here is that the operation must not be successful.
Do you understand?
Did you check the patient?
Of course.
No particular anomalies.
Dr. Han,
check the main details just in case.
Sure.
You had a great father.
Professor Park Cheol.
I hear he went to North Korea to treat someone very important.
- How did you know? - That doesn't matter.
He operated on their leader so you must have had a good life.
Well, that must've been why you were able to attend Pyongyang Medical School.
You sound quite cynical. Did anything happen?
No.
Good luck with your surgery.
Hey, Quack. Do your best, okay?
What's wrong with everyone today?
What happened?
I think something is wrong.
- Something seems to be wrong. - It's a blood coagulation disorder.
- Dr. Park might cause trouble. - Exactly.
What happened?
He has a blood coagulation disorder.
I'm sorry. I forgot to check that.
- Dr. Yang. - I'm sorry, Dr. Park.
- Platelet count? - It's 50,000.
We can't operate on him.
- We should cancel it. - An operation is his only hope.
We can't inject him with heparin or warfarin after the VAD is inserted.
He will die.
He will die if we don't do anything.
I don't believe this. What's with the disorder and all?
Why is this not working?
Nothing's working today.
Darn it!
They have a big problem.
What's going on?
Their patient has a blood coagulation disorder.
The normal platelet count is 300,000 to 400,000.
Their patient's platelet count is only 50,000.
Then he can't have the VAD.
Yes, it's over.
Game over, and Dr. Han wins.
Stop the drivel
and get ready.
- We should take him out of here. - Wait a little bit longer.
Waiting won't save him.
Just wait!
Dr. Park is the one who decides.
Dr. Park?
If the patient can't take Warfarin,
we'll do a different operation that won't require Warfarin.
We'll perform SAVER.
They'll go with SAVER.
What's that?
Let me explain it to you.
Let's say this is his heart.
You kind of peel it off. And then
take out
the dead tissue.
And remove it. You can eat it if you want.
And then you cover the heart back again.
That's simple.
Simple?
No one performs it.
No one performs it?
No one does.
Very few cases are successful, so nobody performs it.
Especially if the dead tissue
is as extensive as his.
And Dr. Park wants to perform that kind of surgery?
Zoom in.
- Has it started? - Yes, just now.
They started?
Put Park Hun on the phone!
I can't.
Hey! You can't perform that operation!
We'll have to inject heparin even if we perform SAVER.
We won't be able to stop the bleeding once it starts.
Prepare enough blood and platelets. And we'll be very careful.
But over 40% of his left ventricle are dead tissues.
That is the threshold to performing surgery.
His family won't consent to it.
If we operate on him without their consent,
we'll be in big trouble.
His blood pressure is going down.
Let's do it.
Get things ready.
- Dr. Park. - He'll die if we don't do anything.
We need the consent of his family.
What use will there be when he's dead by that time?
What are you doing?
Get the defibrillator ready.
Tell me right away if there's bleeding somewhere else.
Okay.
SAVER will begin now.
Scalpel.
