EPISODE 2
Hello.
Young-ji, hi.
Hello.
Where's my pay for today?
It was so slow yesterday.
Take the food instead
just for today.
Pay me tomorrow.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
Bye.
Darn, another worthless day.
Did you skip breakfast again?
You've got no energy.
Here, take this.
Come on.
His absence in the meeting
alone will affect the trustees.
Got any connections in China?
I've already made arrangements.
Have a safe trip.
Any discomfort?
No, I'm fine.
Don't hesitate to let me know.
I'm the Head of Neurosurgery.
Sure.
Man, he did such a flawless job.
-Park Su-rak!
-Yes?
Let's look at Ms. Choe's chart.
Okay.
-Park Su-rak.
-Yes?
These are the MRIs from
Ms. Choe's surgery?
-Yes--
-But the date is wrong.
Really?
PATIENT NAME: CHOE YU-RAH
Bosung Hospital in Cheong-ju?
Look what we have here...
JO HYUN-TAIG
RESUME
Lee Sun-woo speaking.
Dr. Lee, this is Nam Yong-tae.
We need you to
look at a patient
with cerebral aneurysm.
-Are you done?
-Yes.
-We loved your concert.
-Thank you.
-Picking up Dr. Lee's laundry again?
-Yes.
Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee.
MR. LEE CHO-IN
Mr. Lee Cho-in from Seoul!
Are you Mr. Lee Cho-in?
I'm Lee Cho-in.
Who are you?
I'm Oh Young-ji, your tour guide.
Glad to meet you.
Did my brother Sun-woo hire you?
Pardon? Yes...
I'll take you to your hotel.
I'll take your bag.
-It's okay.
-I insist.
I'm your guide.
I'll take everything.
And I'll keep your passport safe.
Come on.
Come on!
How much to Wenjin Hotel?
Five hundred yuan.
Do I look like a tourist?
-Two hundred yuan.
-Fine, get in.
It's 500 yuan to the hotel.
I talked down the fare
because it's slow time now.
Get in.
Open the trunk.
Two hundred yuan. Ah, I see.
Well, how cute.
Yes, please take care of it.
Lee Cho-in has been intercepted.
Just make sure he can't
come back till Saturday.
You needn't worry.
He won't set foot in Korea
before the board meeting.
It's the anterior cerebral artery.
Prep a coiling.
Hey, Dr. Lee.
What's gotten into him?
In shock from his Neurosurgery
Center proposal going down.
Aren't you off?
And the Center proposal is
just being postponed.
Don't let your guard down.
-Mr. Lee, I got your keys.
-Please leave a message.
Want to go to your room?
I'll get it!
Let me know
if you need anything.
I'll take care of it.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Pardon?
Are you hungry?
The plane food can't be very good.
Room service, maybe?
Or a stroll to the night market?
No thank you.
Maybe a massage?
A massage.
A massage?
Yes, from your head to your toes.
Go for it.
What?
I said I'll take that massage.
I wouldn't be the one...
I'd call for another girl.
I want one from you,
but you don't have to give me one.
Well...
good night then.
You have to watch him 24 hours a day.
If you leave him alone,
you won't get paid.
Okay, I'll do it.
But only a massage.
My body is off limits to you.
-But your heart isn't?
-What?
But unfortunately, I'm taken.
So I don't want your heart either.
-See you tomorrow.
-No! Mr. Lee!
Knucklehead!
You're only a hustler.
Who said you can have my heart?
My heart and body are
both off limits to you!
Damn hustler!
What took you so long?
No, you got the wrong girl!
I'm a guide, got it?
Hey, wait!
Freak!
I'm treating you to celebrate
your first concert,
and you're only eating dessert.
I couldn't eat sweets for a week
because of the ultrasound.
Chocolate éclair,
chocolate mousse cake...
And what's this?
Dark chocolate mousse.
You're going to eat all this?
The chocolate mousse is so good.
Did you see Sun-woo?
What?
No.
Wait, did I?
I can't remember.
I might not even
have recognized him.
Cho-in just texted me.
It's 44,600 yuan, right?
What happened?
Found some money?
Yes.
I hit the jackpot!
Give me the passport.
Here.
This makes my brother
a citizen of Joseon.
I mean South Korea, right?
You got your parents’ and
your brother’s passports.
You need one now.
You're amazing, Oh Young-ji.
I still have a long way to go.
"Close your eyes and somebody'll slice
off your nose," as the saying goes.
I have to save up
before going to Korea.
I'll get you one, too,
so keep saving.
-Bye.
-Wait, sir...
how much money can you
get for a Korean passport?
You found a Korean passport?
No.
For you, I'll throw in a bit extra.
Can you drop me off at the hotel?
At the hotel at this hour?
It's nothing like that!
I have to watch this
hustler from Korea.
Give me a minute.
PASSPORT
REPUBLIC OF KOREA
PASSPORT
LEE, CHO-IN
Mr. Lee Cho-in,
you hustler...
you're my family's way out.
I'm not letting you out of my sight.
Did you decide on where
we'll kidnap Lee Cho-in?
Yes.
When he's heading for the Reception
Party after watching the surgery.
Right here.
You loser.
We kidnapped the other silk
exporter at the same spot!
We should avoid
the same spots.
Kidnap him right here!
-Yes, boss!
-Good.
Hello.
Yes, boss.
-How's Lee Cho-in?
-Don't worry, sir.
I'm watching him around the clock.
Any change in schedule?
No, and I have him right here.
Okay.
Call me if anything happens.
You should leave him alone.
-Got that?
-Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
Why, that knucklehead.
I won't lose you.
Hey, wait...
Wait.
Where did you learn
to leave someone behind?
You just seemed so tired.
I'm not tired at all.
Scoot over, please?
How much for the fare?
Two hundred yuan!
Five hundred yuan.
Don't worry, that's all I know.
Come on, let's go.
Hurry!
Thank you.
What do you mean
you can go by yourself?
You can't even speak Chinese.
You'll need me to interpret.
I won't need an interpreter.
Why, you don't trust my Chinese?
I'll interpret everything for you.
I may not look like it,
but I speak fluent
Chinese and Japanese.
Look!
Nice to meet you.
It's so nice to meet you.
It's such a pleasure.
Why, that knucklehead.
Come on, sucker.
Mr. Lee!
Let's get ready.
My English could use
some work, though.
So what, they want to
meet with the patient?
The interview had already begun
when I was informed by a nurse.
-Where's the reporter?
-In the patient's room--
Who let the reporter in
without my permission?
Why did I put you in charge?
I'm sorry.
-Lee Jung-min.
-Hello, Dr. Lee.
Ms. Choe has lost her sense
of taste since the surgery.
We need your explanation.
As you know, the surgery was for
both the aneurysm and the tumor.
It was over the area responsible
for taste and tongue muscle.
There was only one choice.
In order to save the patient's life,
it was an inevitable choice?
There are more
important things in life
rather than a bowl of soup
or chocolate.
It's foolish to even
question that choice.
Except that some people would
choose their sense of taste.
Did you even know that
Choe Yu-rah was a chef?
And what did she tell you?
That she'd give up her life
for her sense of taste?
You've changed, Sun-woo.
It's as if a romanticist
turned into a cold realist.
Emotions have no role in saving lives.
Are we done?
But that's not the real problem.
This is Choe Yu-rah's medical record.
She was diagnosed with a tumor
at a Bosung affiliate
hospital six months ago.
And she got a CT and
an MRI a week ago.
DIAGNOSIS
CHOE YU-RAH
Quite a coincidence for you
to run into such a patient.
BOSUNG MEDICAL CENTER
IN CHEONG-JU
On the plane no less.
And she had been diagnosed
at an affiliate.
You were played.
It was a rigged situation.
I guess you really didn't know.
You better take care of it.
It could be easily seen
as an unethical ploy.
I'll look into it
and get back to you.
One more thing.
Did you see Seo-yeon?
She really went through a tough
period after you disappeared.
Mr. Lee!
We're going into
the surgery room now.
Big deal.
I'm going there, too.
Young-ji, let me tell you
about brain surgery.
First of all, you remove the skin,
and the skull gets exposed.
Then you drill through the skull,
and cut out a part of the skull.
And you open it up.
Then you suck out the tumor
with a type of vacuum cleaner.
But...
if you hit an artery,
you'll see a fountain of blood.
Take good care of my bag.
What a knucklehead.
Hey!
What's the big deal
about a surgery?
I'm going in, too.
Hey, no women
allowed in here!
This is the men's locker room.
Oops.
I'm sorry.
Sorry!
What are you doing?
Sorry!
This is the men's locker room!
Man, what the heck?!
So this reporter went to med
school together with you?
Did you set this up by putting
Ms. Choe on my plane?
Did you hope for a seizure
so I could do the surgery?
That wasn't enough,
so you notified the press?
I had to do it for the sake
of my Neurosurgery Center.
-What's the matter?
-It concerns a life.
An emergency life or death situation!
They're the ones who
accepted the proposition.
Ms. Choe's party begged
to have you perform her surgery.
I just gave her that opportunity.
You didn't have to resort
to this kind of set-up, Mom.
No.
Building the Neurosurgery
Center isn't going to be easy.
No.
No need to worry.
You don't have to worry about
my qualifications as a doctor.
I can certainly win it
fair and square.
What's this?
A list of people who have to go
before the center gets built.
You can find the name of
the whistle-blower in there, too.
JO HYUN-TAIG
RESUME
Things need to be done
in a proper order.
He can't go yet.
The reporter just left?
-Are you sure?
-Yes, doctor.
How much did these rotten
scoundrels pay in bribes?
And where is this jerk?
The reporter was a woman.
Why, you...
You've been working
so hard, Dr. Jo.
Working hard?
No, not at all.
Since our director
collapsed from aneurysm,
you had to take over the
Department of Neurosurgery.
You were in the lab
till late last night.
I'm not yet old enough to
complain about the workload.
Right.
When the Neurosurgery Center opens
we hope to have someone
like you to lead it.
Sun-woo might be a good surgeon,
but his reputation pales
in comparison to yours.
For that to happen,
we have to get the votes to
build the Neurosurgery Center.
Thank you for the kind words,
-but I--
-I heard that
the ethics committee
is making its decision
regarding your request for
the anticonvulsant experiment.
The Head of Committee
will call you.
Let me congratulate
you in advance.
You should have dinner with
the Dean of the Medical School.
I'll arrange it after I hear
from the ethics committee.
Dean Choe goes along
with everything I say.
I'm well aware of that.
So you're aware that
I really have two votes.
I'll expect good news.
So you're offering me the head
position at the center?
Give me a break.
But I'm going to have
my cake and eat it, too.
Dean Choe?
It's me.
So that guy is really a doctor?
Darn, I'm constipated again.
What kind of surgery
takes six hours?
What the...?
That's what I figured.
Boss, this is Oh Young-ji.
This Lee Cho-in is carrying
so many drugs in his bag.
He's no ordinary con artist.
He's posing as a doctor
and dealing in drugs.
Yes, boss.
Don't worry.
Goodbye.
Is the surgery over?
Hey, Sun-woo, it's me.
How was the surgery?
That Jeffrey can work the blade.
He removed the tumor completely.
Of course.
That's the best method
of removing chordoma.
I've scheduled Dad's surgery
for next Monday.
We still haven't seen
the patient's recovery.
Your confidence is off-putting.
As long as Jeffrey didn't screw up,
the surgery went well.
I guarantee it.
Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.
Sure.
Did the surgery go well?
Then onto the next scheduled event.
Next up...
Fujian Province.
What...?
Fujian Province?
Kim Suk-joon and Jung Soon-yi...
they've yet to even
attend a board meeting.
So we'll assume
they will be absent.
We have six supporters.
And Jo Hyun-taig is bringing
Dean Choe aboard as well.
So of the 14 trustees,
we have an overwhelming
eight to four advantage.
Congratulations, ma'am.
The Neurosurgery Center project
will become official in three days.
Not yet.
The Dean has kept his cards hidden
so it's seven to five.
We've lured Jo Hyun-taig
by greasing his palm,
but he may turn on us any minute.
Make sure to keep
things under control.
The Ethics Committee has approved
your anticonvulsant experiment.
Let's find some volunteers.
Let's hope for the best results.
We're counting on you.
Hey...
-What's gotten into you?
-Anticonvulsant experiment?
Is that your bribe for voting
for the Neurosurgery Center?
Give me some credit, Hyun-ju.
I'm Jo Hyun-taig, your mentor!
I already heard from the College Dean.
You asked him for his vote?
Hey, give me a break.
Have you forgotten that
he and I were classmates?
Have you lost your mind?
Yes, he has.
Otherwise, how would our
big brownnoser even think
of betraying Director Lee,
the man who made him?
Why, you guys...
You ingrate.
Hey, Kim Hyun-ju, I haven't
yet made my decision.
And this is my own decision,
as one of the trustees.
You got that?
They bought him off.
For sure.
But this is what I don't understand.
An Emergency Medical Center is
the director's lifelong dream.
So how come his wife
is so opposed to it?
He wanted his non-biological son,
Dr. Cho-in, to head the Center.
It was meant to go downhill.
What do you mean?
Not his biological son?
So Cho-in and Sun-woo
are not blood brothers?
No.
What?
Cho-in was the son of
the Director's friends.
When they died in a car crash,
the Director adopted him.
So the Director wants to give
the hospital to an adopted son.
If I were the vice-director,
I'd fight that, too.
Good job!
-One more time!
-One more time?
-Yes!
-Please!
One, two, three.
You always wanted to
be a music teacher.
So are your dreams fulfilled?
Yes, thanks to you.
You taught me to play
my first instrument.
So you've fulfilled your wish
of becoming a great doctor.
Congratulations.
Great?
It's just a start.
Spoken like Lee Sun-woo.
Well, I hope you realize
everything you wanted.
So I won't feel too insulted
about being dumped.
I never left you.
I did hurt you.
But I never left you,
not even for a moment.
Is everything okay?
Okay?
Is what okay?
My biological heart
or my emotional one?
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't hurt or upset.
I'd hate you
but then I'd miss you.
Then I'd say you must
have a reason.
And I'd worry.
Maybe it's human
nature to feel empty
after hating someone as
much as you loved them.
Like a feather.
Yes, I can imagine.
I'm sorry for the past.
No, thanks to you,
I've got closure.
Thanks for coming.
Stay well.
I love you, I love you
Even when I cry
I miss you, I miss you
I'm still waiting for you
When tomorrow comes
And the day after
I will be still missing you
I will only love you
You have a call.
Yes, boss. It's me.
What the heck?
Why didn't you answer?!
I'm sorry, I meant to call,
but Mr. Lee was
making such a fuss.
Where are you?
On a train.
We're headed to Fujian Province.
What? Fujian Province?
Yes, he changed his itinerary
after watching the surgery.
He insisted he had to go to Fujian.
What could I do?
Just stay with him!
Yes, he said no, but I insisted.
Find out what he's up to,
and report to me!
Got it?
Yes, boss.
Did you get in trouble
with your job?
No.
Nothing big.
But you can't just
change your itinerary.
You let me know next time,
you "gots" that?
Yes, I "gots" that, ma'am.
Can I "goes" to the restroom?
Well, "makes" it...
Please make it quick.
What a knucklehead.
Lee Cho-in, you folded up
your dirty laundry.
Blood pressure, 110/74.
Heart rate, 88.
Respiratory rate, 18.
Hemoglobin, 11.8.
Red blood cells, 4.1.
White blood cells, 4,700.
Blood platelets, 18,000.
Results of your last
vitals and blood tests.
Your heart can use
some sunflower seeds.
They're great for blood circulation.
Pistachios.
Low in unsaturated fat
and rich in vitamin B.
Great at preventing heart disease.
MY HEART...
Why are you going to Fujian?
To see my child.
Your child?
You're married?
My heart already feels strong.
What would I do
without you, Cho-in?
I miss you.
Me too...
The knucklehead sure is busy
posing as a doctor...
spreading his seed everywhere.
I MISS YOU
What a womanizer.
What was that?
Oh, nothing.
But seriously,
where are we going?
Cell phones don't
even work out here.
We'll soon be able to
use a land line.
What are we doing out
in the middle of nowhere?
Man, the battery died, too!
Wait...
How much longer?
We're almost there.
You said that an hour ago.
Go ahead.
Hey.
I said, go ahead.
But we're here.
Stop playing me for a fool.
Just go ahead!
I'm serious.
Knucklehead.
Constipation is such a pain.
"A revered monk takes
a poop on an autumn plain."
Hey there, my children!
You've been good?
Let's go.
Please, like I'd fall
for such a womanizer?
I'd never take such trash.
Where is everyone?
Where are you, Mr. Lee?
How can you play doctor when
you can't even communicate?
Dear esteemed trustees of
Bosung Medical Center.
As the chairman of the board
and the director of the hospital,
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Even if I do not wake up
from my chordoma surgery,
see to it that the Emergency
Medical Center gets built.
Our hospital was not
established to make money,
but to save lives.
Even if I shall no
longer be around,
please rally around
Lee Cho-in and Kim Hyun-ju
and foster a tradition
of saving lives.
Sincerely, Lee Jong-min.
And when did this will appear?
Director Lee had collapsed
before the chordoma surgery.
I think he left it with
Kim Hyun-ju just in case.
In Tolu?
The cell phone
doesn't work?
Where's this Tolu?
A village in Nanjing County
in Fujian Province.
-Where in Nanjing County?
-Not too sure.
Fine, spent the night there.
But call me tomorrow!
Yes, boss, don't worry.
Goodbye.
So he thinks
he's a big shot here.
Have some tea.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
So what's between
that woman and Mr. Lee?
Husband and wife?
No.
The Chief's father was sick,
and Mr. Lee helped him.
He's been coming on volunteer
missions the last three years.
Really?
What's that hustler
trying to pull?
Thank you.
I'm fine.
I need some medicine, too.
What kind?
Are you sick?
Sit down.
No, just give me some medicine.
I need to know what your problem is
so I can give you medicine or shots.
-You saw me earlier.
-Saw what?
Trying to do, you know...
Trying to do what?
You saw me constipated!
Give me some medicine!
Constipation?
Did you see that?
They didn't know what
the heck just hit them.
Well, they're on the
vice-director's side after all.
An unexpected letter from
the Director causes quite a stir.
How did Jo Hyun-taig react?
He got his experiment approved.
So he seems content.
And the other trustees?
You were supposed to have
kidnapped him already.
Lee Cho-in changed
his itinerary.
-I apologize.
-No excuses!
Take care of it now or
you won't see another cent!
Young-ji.
Want a picture, too?
No, take more of yourself.
What's for tomorrow?
I'll see more patients
in the morning.
Then we'll leave at 10:00
to go see the surgery results.
You better stick to that schedule.
And think of your girlfriend in Korea.
It's been a real eyesore.
Heartless knucklehead.
He doesn't even ask twice
if I want--
Smile!
Are you okay?
It's nothing.
It's something.
Let me see.
-I said it's nothing.
-Stomachache?
It happens all the time.
Never mind.
Where does it hurt?
Everywhere! Satisfied?
Can't you be serious?
It could be your appendix.
I once went to the hospital
thinking it was the appendix.
But it was just constipation.
So never mind!
-I said, I'm okay.
-I say you're not.
You're not okay until
I say that you are!
Got that?
Don't you want to be treated?
With my clothes on.
I told you it's just constipation.
Tenderness at the
McBurney's point.
Suffering from rebound
tenderness as well.
How long have you felt the pain?
It got bad since
this morning.
I don't hear anything.
Is it already a case of
intestinal obstruction?
What should we do?
I think it is your appendix.
Then do I have to
go to the hospital?
She's suffered from acute
pains since the morning.
It may turn into peritonitis
by the time we get there.
Get ready to go
to the hospital.
I'm not going.
What?
I'm not going to the hospital.
Young-ji, we're not
going on a picnic.
You need surgery.
Otherwise, you could even die.
Can't you do it here?
Oh Young-ji!
You're a doctor, right?
So do it here.
Stop being stubborn
and get ready.
It's not that I don't want to go.
I have my reasons!
It's not that
I don't think that
appendicitis is serious.
I want to have surgery
and get better, too.
Actually, I have to get better.
I have to get better...
and meet someone.
But if I go to the hospital...
I might never see this person.
So can't you do
the surgery here?
Please, do the surgery here.
I beg you.
Keep this up, and I won't see
you when you come to Korea.
When I go to Korea,
will you see me?
Will you really?
Your father never wanted
to give you the hospital!
Is this what I get?
For having loved and
trusted Dad all my life.
I see.
We go to the desert
and we kill Lee Cho-in.
Sun-woo.
Sun-woo!
Seo-yeon!
Hello.
Young-ji, hi.
Hello.
Where's my pay for today?
It was so slow yesterday.
Take the food instead
just for today.
Pay me tomorrow.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
Bye.
Darn, another worthless day.
Did you skip breakfast again?
You've got no energy.
Here, take this.
Come on.
His absence in the meeting
alone will affect the trustees.
Got any connections in China?
I've already made arrangements.
Have a safe trip.
Any discomfort?
No, I'm fine.
Don't hesitate to let me know.
I'm the Head of Neurosurgery.
Sure.
Man, he did such a flawless job.
-Park Su-rak!
-Yes?
Let's look at Ms. Choe's chart.
Okay.
-Park Su-rak.
-Yes?
These are the MRIs from
Ms. Choe's surgery?
-Yes--
-But the date is wrong.
Really?
PATIENT NAME: CHOE YU-RAH
Bosung Hospital in Cheong-ju?
Look what we have here...
JO HYUN-TAIG
RESUME
Lee Sun-woo speaking.
Dr. Lee, this is Nam Yong-tae.
We need you to
look at a patient
with cerebral aneurysm.
-Are you done?
-Yes.
-We loved your concert.
-Thank you.
-Picking up Dr. Lee's laundry again?
-Yes.
Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee.
MR. LEE CHO-IN
Mr. Lee Cho-in from Seoul!
Are you Mr. Lee Cho-in?
I'm Lee Cho-in.
Who are you?
I'm Oh Young-ji, your tour guide.
Glad to meet you.
Did my brother Sun-woo hire you?
Pardon? Yes...
I'll take you to your hotel.
I'll take your bag.
-It's okay.
-I insist.
I'm your guide.
I'll take everything.
And I'll keep your passport safe.
Come on.
Come on!
How much to Wenjin Hotel?
Five hundred yuan.
Do I look like a tourist?
-Two hundred yuan.
-Fine, get in.
It's 500 yuan to the hotel.
I talked down the fare
because it's slow time now.
Get in.
Open the trunk.
Two hundred yuan. Ah, I see.
Well, how cute.
Yes, please take care of it.
Lee Cho-in has been intercepted.
Just make sure he can't
come back till Saturday.
You needn't worry.
He won't set foot in Korea
before the board meeting.
It's the anterior cerebral artery.
Prep a coiling.
Hey, Dr. Lee.
What's gotten into him?
In shock from his Neurosurgery
Center proposal going down.
Aren't you off?
And the Center proposal is
just being postponed.
Don't let your guard down.
-Mr. Lee, I got your keys.
-Please leave a message.
Want to go to your room?
I'll get it!
Let me know
if you need anything.
I'll take care of it.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Pardon?
Are you hungry?
The plane food can't be very good.
Room service, maybe?
Or a stroll to the night market?
No thank you.
Maybe a massage?
A massage.
A massage?
Yes, from your head to your toes.
Go for it.
What?
I said I'll take that massage.
I wouldn't be the one...
I'd call for another girl.
I want one from you,
but you don't have to give me one.
Well...
good night then.
You have to watch him 24 hours a day.
If you leave him alone,
you won't get paid.
Okay, I'll do it.
But only a massage.
My body is off limits to you.
-But your heart isn't?
-What?
But unfortunately, I'm taken.
So I don't want your heart either.
-See you tomorrow.
-No! Mr. Lee!
Knucklehead!
You're only a hustler.
Who said you can have my heart?
My heart and body are
both off limits to you!
Damn hustler!
What took you so long?
No, you got the wrong girl!
I'm a guide, got it?
Hey, wait!
Freak!
I'm treating you to celebrate
your first concert,
and you're only eating dessert.
I couldn't eat sweets for a week
because of the ultrasound.
Chocolate éclair,
chocolate mousse cake...
And what's this?
Dark chocolate mousse.
You're going to eat all this?
The chocolate mousse is so good.
Did you see Sun-woo?
What?
No.
Wait, did I?
I can't remember.
I might not even
have recognized him.
Cho-in just texted me.
It's 44,600 yuan, right?
What happened?
Found some money?
Yes.
I hit the jackpot!
Give me the passport.
Here.
This makes my brother
a citizen of Joseon.
I mean South Korea, right?
You got your parents’ and
your brother’s passports.
You need one now.
You're amazing, Oh Young-ji.
I still have a long way to go.
"Close your eyes and somebody'll slice
off your nose," as the saying goes.
I have to save up
before going to Korea.
I'll get you one, too,
so keep saving.
-Bye.
-Wait, sir...
how much money can you
get for a Korean passport?
You found a Korean passport?
No.
For you, I'll throw in a bit extra.
Can you drop me off at the hotel?
At the hotel at this hour?
It's nothing like that!
I have to watch this
hustler from Korea.
Give me a minute.

REPUBLIC OF KOREA
PASSPORT
LEE, CHO-IN
Mr. Lee Cho-in,
you hustler...
you're my family's way out.
I'm not letting you out of my sight.
Did you decide on where
we'll kidnap Lee Cho-in?
Yes.
When he's heading for the Reception
Party after watching the surgery.
Right here.
You loser.
We kidnapped the other silk
exporter at the same spot!
We should avoid
the same spots.
Kidnap him right here!
-Yes, boss!
-Good.
Hello.
Yes, boss.
-How's Lee Cho-in?
-Don't worry, sir.
I'm watching him around the clock.
Any change in schedule?
No, and I have him right here.
Okay.
Call me if anything happens.
You should leave him alone.
-Got that?
-Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
Why, that knucklehead.
I won't lose you.
Hey, wait...
Wait.
Where did you learn
to leave someone behind?
You just seemed so tired.
I'm not tired at all.
Scoot over, please?
How much for the fare?
Two hundred yuan!
Five hundred yuan.
Don't worry, that's all I know.
Come on, let's go.
Hurry!
Thank you.
What do you mean
you can go by yourself?
You can't even speak Chinese.
You'll need me to interpret.
I won't need an interpreter.
Why, you don't trust my Chinese?
I'll interpret everything for you.
I may not look like it,
but I speak fluent
Chinese and Japanese.
Look!
Nice to meet you.
It's so nice to meet you.
It's such a pleasure.
Why, that knucklehead.
Come on, sucker.
Mr. Lee!
Let's get ready.
My English could use
some work, though.
So what, they want to
meet with the patient?
The interview had already begun
when I was informed by a nurse.
-Where's the reporter?
-In the patient's room--
Who let the reporter in
without my permission?
Why did I put you in charge?
I'm sorry.
-Lee Jung-min.
-Hello, Dr. Lee.
Ms. Choe has lost her sense
of taste since the surgery.
We need your explanation.
As you know, the surgery was for
both the aneurysm and the tumor.
It was over the area responsible
for taste and tongue muscle.
There was only one choice.
In order to save the patient's life,
it was an inevitable choice?
There are more
important things in life
rather than a bowl of soup
or chocolate.
It's foolish to even
question that choice.
Except that some people would
choose their sense of taste.
Did you even know that
Choe Yu-rah was a chef?
And what did she tell you?
That she'd give up her life
for her sense of taste?
You've changed, Sun-woo.
It's as if a romanticist
turned into a cold realist.
Emotions have no role in saving lives.
Are we done?
But that's not the real problem.
This is Choe Yu-rah's medical record.
She was diagnosed with a tumor
at a Bosung affiliate
hospital six months ago.
And she got a CT and
an MRI a week ago.
DIAGNOSIS
CHOE YU-RAH
Quite a coincidence for you
to run into such a patient.
BOSUNG MEDICAL CENTER
IN CHEONG-JU
On the plane no less.
And she had been diagnosed
at an affiliate.
You were played.
It was a rigged situation.
I guess you really didn't know.
You better take care of it.
It could be easily seen
as an unethical ploy.
I'll look into it
and get back to you.
One more thing.
Did you see Seo-yeon?
She really went through a tough
period after you disappeared.
Mr. Lee!
We're going into
the surgery room now.
Big deal.
I'm going there, too.
Young-ji, let me tell you
about brain surgery.
First of all, you remove the skin,
and the skull gets exposed.
Then you drill through the skull,
and cut out a part of the skull.
And you open it up.
Then you suck out the tumor
with a type of vacuum cleaner.
But...
if you hit an artery,
you'll see a fountain of blood.
Take good care of my bag.
What a knucklehead.
Hey!
What's the big deal
about a surgery?
I'm going in, too.
Hey, no women
allowed in here!
This is the men's locker room.
Oops.
I'm sorry.
Sorry!
What are you doing?
Sorry!
This is the men's locker room!
Man, what the heck?!
So this reporter went to med
school together with you?
Did you set this up by putting
Ms. Choe on my plane?
Did you hope for a seizure
so I could do the surgery?
That wasn't enough,
so you notified the press?
I had to do it for the sake
of my Neurosurgery Center.
-What's the matter?
-It concerns a life.
An emergency life or death situation!
They're the ones who
accepted the proposition.
Ms. Choe's party begged
to have you perform her surgery.
I just gave her that opportunity.
You didn't have to resort
to this kind of set-up, Mom.
No.
Building the Neurosurgery
Center isn't going to be easy.
No.
No need to worry.
You don't have to worry about
my qualifications as a doctor.
I can certainly win it
fair and square.
What's this?
A list of people who have to go
before the center gets built.
You can find the name of
the whistle-blower in there, too.
JO HYUN-TAIG
RESUME
Things need to be done
in a proper order.
He can't go yet.
The reporter just left?
-Are you sure?
-Yes, doctor.
How much did these rotten
scoundrels pay in bribes?
And where is this jerk?
The reporter was a woman.
Why, you...
You've been working
so hard, Dr. Jo.
Working hard?
No, not at all.
Since our director
collapsed from aneurysm,
you had to take over the
Department of Neurosurgery.
You were in the lab
till late last night.
I'm not yet old enough to
complain about the workload.
Right.
When the Neurosurgery Center opens
we hope to have someone
like you to lead it.
Sun-woo might be a good surgeon,
but his reputation pales
in comparison to yours.
For that to happen,
we have to get the votes to
build the Neurosurgery Center.
Thank you for the kind words,
-but I--
-I heard that
the ethics committee
is making its decision
regarding your request for
the anticonvulsant experiment.
The Head of Committee
will call you.
Let me congratulate
you in advance.
You should have dinner with
the Dean of the Medical School.
I'll arrange it after I hear
from the ethics committee.
Dean Choe goes along
with everything I say.
I'm well aware of that.
So you're aware that
I really have two votes.
I'll expect good news.
So you're offering me the head
position at the center?
Give me a break.
But I'm going to have
my cake and eat it, too.
Dean Choe?
It's me.
So that guy is really a doctor?
Darn, I'm constipated again.
What kind of surgery
takes six hours?
What the...?
That's what I figured.
Boss, this is Oh Young-ji.
This Lee Cho-in is carrying
so many drugs in his bag.
He's no ordinary con artist.
He's posing as a doctor
and dealing in drugs.
Yes, boss.
Don't worry.
Goodbye.
Is the surgery over?
Hey, Sun-woo, it's me.
How was the surgery?
That Jeffrey can work the blade.
He removed the tumor completely.
Of course.
That's the best method
of removing chordoma.
I've scheduled Dad's surgery
for next Monday.
We still haven't seen
the patient's recovery.
Your confidence is off-putting.
As long as Jeffrey didn't screw up,
the surgery went well.
I guarantee it.
Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.
Sure.
Did the surgery go well?
Then onto the next scheduled event.
Next up...
Fujian Province.
What...?
Fujian Province?
Kim Suk-joon and Jung Soon-yi...
they've yet to even
attend a board meeting.
So we'll assume
they will be absent.
We have six supporters.
And Jo Hyun-taig is bringing
Dean Choe aboard as well.
So of the 14 trustees,
we have an overwhelming
eight to four advantage.
Congratulations, ma'am.
The Neurosurgery Center project
will become official in three days.
Not yet.
The Dean has kept his cards hidden
so it's seven to five.
We've lured Jo Hyun-taig
by greasing his palm,
but he may turn on us any minute.
Make sure to keep
things under control.
The Ethics Committee has approved
your anticonvulsant experiment.
Let's find some volunteers.
Let's hope for the best results.
We're counting on you.
Hey...
-What's gotten into you?
-Anticonvulsant experiment?
Is that your bribe for voting
for the Neurosurgery Center?
Give me some credit, Hyun-ju.
I'm Jo Hyun-taig, your mentor!
I already heard from the College Dean.
You asked him for his vote?
Hey, give me a break.
Have you forgotten that
he and I were classmates?
Have you lost your mind?
Yes, he has.
Otherwise, how would our
big brownnoser even think
of betraying Director Lee,
the man who made him?
Why, you guys...
You ingrate.
Hey, Kim Hyun-ju, I haven't
yet made my decision.
And this is my own decision,
as one of the trustees.
You got that?
They bought him off.
For sure.
But this is what I don't understand.
An Emergency Medical Center is
the director's lifelong dream.
So how come his wife
is so opposed to it?
He wanted his non-biological son,
Dr. Cho-in, to head the Center.
It was meant to go downhill.
What do you mean?
Not his biological son?
So Cho-in and Sun-woo
are not blood brothers?
No.
What?
Cho-in was the son of
the Director's friends.
When they died in a car crash,
the Director adopted him.
So the Director wants to give
the hospital to an adopted son.
If I were the vice-director,
I'd fight that, too.
Good job!
-One more time!
-One more time?
-Yes!
-Please!
One, two, three.
You always wanted to
be a music teacher.
So are your dreams fulfilled?
Yes, thanks to you.
You taught me to play
my first instrument.
So you've fulfilled your wish
of becoming a great doctor.
Congratulations.
Great?
It's just a start.
Spoken like Lee Sun-woo.
Well, I hope you realize
everything you wanted.
So I won't feel too insulted
about being dumped.
I never left you.
I did hurt you.
But I never left you,
not even for a moment.
Is everything okay?
Okay?
Is what okay?
My biological heart
or my emotional one?
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't hurt or upset.
I'd hate you
but then I'd miss you.
Then I'd say you must
have a reason.
And I'd worry.
Maybe it's human
nature to feel empty
after hating someone as
much as you loved them.
Like a feather.
Yes, I can imagine.
I'm sorry for the past.
No, thanks to you,
I've got closure.
Thanks for coming.
Stay well.
I love you, I love you
Even when I cry
I miss you, I miss you
I'm still waiting for you
When tomorrow comes
And the day after
I will be still missing you
I will only love you
You have a call.
Yes, boss. It's me.
What the heck?
Why didn't you answer?!
I'm sorry, I meant to call,
but Mr. Lee was
making such a fuss.
Where are you?
On a train.
We're headed to Fujian Province.
What? Fujian Province?
Yes, he changed his itinerary
after watching the surgery.
He insisted he had to go to Fujian.
What could I do?
Just stay with him!
Yes, he said no, but I insisted.
Find out what he's up to,
and report to me!
Got it?
Yes, boss.
Did you get in trouble
with your job?
No.
Nothing big.
But you can't just
change your itinerary.
You let me know next time,
you "gots" that?
Yes, I "gots" that, ma'am.
Can I "goes" to the restroom?
Well, "makes" it...
Please make it quick.
What a knucklehead.
Lee Cho-in, you folded up
your dirty laundry.
Blood pressure, 110/74.
Heart rate, 88.
Respiratory rate, 18.
Hemoglobin, 11.8.
Red blood cells, 4.1.
White blood cells, 4,700.
Blood platelets, 18,000.
Results of your last
vitals and blood tests.
Your heart can use
some sunflower seeds.
They're great for blood circulation.
Pistachios.
Low in unsaturated fat
and rich in vitamin B.
Great at preventing heart disease.
MY HEART...
Why are you going to Fujian?
To see my child.
Your child?
You're married?
My heart already feels strong.
What would I do
without you, Cho-in?
I miss you.
Me too...
The knucklehead sure is busy
posing as a doctor...
spreading his seed everywhere.
I MISS YOU
What a womanizer.
What was that?
Oh, nothing.
But seriously,
where are we going?
Cell phones don't
even work out here.
We'll soon be able to
use a land line.
What are we doing out
in the middle of nowhere?
Man, the battery died, too!
Wait...
How much longer?
We're almost there.
You said that an hour ago.
Go ahead.
Hey.
I said, go ahead.
But we're here.
Stop playing me for a fool.
Just go ahead!
I'm serious.
Knucklehead.
Constipation is such a pain.
"A revered monk takes
a poop on an autumn plain."
Hey there, my children!
You've been good?
Let's go.
Please, like I'd fall
for such a womanizer?
I'd never take such trash.
Where is everyone?
Where are you, Mr. Lee?
How can you play doctor when
you can't even communicate?
Dear esteemed trustees of
Bosung Medical Center.
As the chairman of the board
and the director of the hospital,
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Even if I do not wake up
from my chordoma surgery,
see to it that the Emergency
Medical Center gets built.
Our hospital was not
established to make money,
but to save lives.
Even if I shall no
longer be around,
please rally around
Lee Cho-in and Kim Hyun-ju
and foster a tradition
of saving lives.
Sincerely, Lee Jong-min.
And when did this will appear?
Director Lee had collapsed
before the chordoma surgery.
I think he left it with
Kim Hyun-ju just in case.
In Tolu?
The cell phone
doesn't work?
Where's this Tolu?
A village in Nanjing County
in Fujian Province.
-Where in Nanjing County?
-Not too sure.
Fine, spent the night there.
But call me tomorrow!
Yes, boss, don't worry.
Goodbye.
So he thinks
he's a big shot here.
Have some tea.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
So what's between
that woman and Mr. Lee?
Husband and wife?
No.
The Chief's father was sick,
and Mr. Lee helped him.
He's been coming on volunteer
missions the last three years.
Really?
What's that hustler
trying to pull?
Thank you.
I'm fine.
I need some medicine, too.
What kind?
Are you sick?
Sit down.
No, just give me some medicine.
I need to know what your problem is
so I can give you medicine or shots.
-You saw me earlier.
-Saw what?
Trying to do, you know...
Trying to do what?
You saw me constipated!
Give me some medicine!
Constipation?
Did you see that?
They didn't know what
the heck just hit them.
Well, they're on the
vice-director's side after all.
An unexpected letter from
the Director causes quite a stir.
How did Jo Hyun-taig react?
He got his experiment approved.
So he seems content.
And the other trustees?
You were supposed to have
kidnapped him already.
Lee Cho-in changed
his itinerary.
-I apologize.
-No excuses!
Take care of it now or
you won't see another cent!
Young-ji.
Want a picture, too?
No, take more of yourself.
What's for tomorrow?
I'll see more patients
in the morning.
Then we'll leave at 10:00
to go see the surgery results.
You better stick to that schedule.
And think of your girlfriend in Korea.
It's been a real eyesore.
Heartless knucklehead.
He doesn't even ask twice
if I want--
Smile!
Are you okay?
It's nothing.
It's something.
Let me see.
-I said it's nothing.
-Stomachache?
It happens all the time.
Never mind.
Where does it hurt?
Everywhere! Satisfied?
Can't you be serious?
It could be your appendix.
I once went to the hospital
thinking it was the appendix.
But it was just constipation.
So never mind!
-I said, I'm okay.
-I say you're not.
You're not okay until
I say that you are!
Got that?
Don't you want to be treated?
With my clothes on.
I told you it's just constipation.
Tenderness at the
McBurney's point.
Suffering from rebound
tenderness as well.
How long have you felt the pain?
It got bad since
this morning.
I don't hear anything.
Is it already a case of
intestinal obstruction?
What should we do?
I think it is your appendix.
Then do I have to
go to the hospital?
She's suffered from acute
pains since the morning.
It may turn into peritonitis
by the time we get there.
Get ready to go
to the hospital.
I'm not going.
What?
I'm not going to the hospital.
Young-ji, we're not
going on a picnic.
You need surgery.
Otherwise, you could even die.
Can't you do it here?
Oh Young-ji!
You're a doctor, right?
So do it here.
Stop being stubborn
and get ready.
It's not that I don't want to go.
I have my reasons!
It's not that
I don't think that
appendicitis is serious.
I want to have surgery
and get better, too.
Actually, I have to get better.
I have to get better...
and meet someone.
But if I go to the hospital...
I might never see this person.
So can't you do
the surgery here?
Please, do the surgery here.
I beg you.
Keep this up, and I won't see
you when you come to Korea.
When I go to Korea,
will you see me?
Will you really?
Your father never wanted
to give you the hospital!
Is this what I get?
For having loved and
trusted Dad all my life.
I see.
We go to the desert
and we kill Lee Cho-in.
Sun-woo.
Sun-woo!
Seo-yeon!
