(Viewer discretion is advised.)

Can you...

save him?

What?

I'll only know for sure when I open him up,

but it looks like he has biliary tract...

I don't care for your medical jargon.

Tell me, can you save him?

Tell me as a doctor.

What do you think you're doing?

Answer me.

I can save him.

Then, save him.

I'll take the patient's bed to the operation room.

Get back.

I'm telling you for the last time.

From this moment, the safety of the medical team and patient...

will be our top priority.

All team members...

line up with gunpoint facing forward.

From this time forth,

you are permitted to fire back...

at anyone who threatens their safety.

Look, Captain.

You better know exactly what you're doing.

You do your job.

The doctor will save her patient.

And I will protect...

what I have to.

We will move the patient now.

(Episode 4)

The VIP has safely entered the operation room.

Our team is in confrontation with President Mubarat's security team.

They even aim a gun at each other.

Medically speaking, the doctors made the right decision.

It is not a matter of medical judgement.

It is about President Mubarat of the Arab League.

What if things go wrong?

If things go wrong,

our government will have a problem with the nations of the Arab League.

I will begin the operation.

Mes.

Are you out of your mind? Stop it immediately.

Yoo Si Jin! Seo Dae Yeong!

Why aren't you answering me?

Salute. Troops of the Special Forces are...

assembling at the training ground in a full combat gear.

- First-grade FP call issued...
- Don't you think I could hear that?

Just get the car ready!

Salute.

You idiots.

The first level FPCON is issued because of you.

A war is about to break out.

If any of you are listening to me,

you should tell Yoo Si Jin...

to stop the operation immediately...

and hand over the VIP to his doctor.

Otherwise, I will go there and shoot all of you for insubordination.

Once you start it, there is no turning back.

- If you change your mind...
- Look at this.

It is a large subcostal incision, isn't it?

There was no operation record on his chart.

I know.

You can't believe anything...

without checking it yourself with your eyes.

I know. That's why this operation is dangerous.

It is dangerous to us, to the patient and even to the soldiers.

This patient will die if I take my hands off because it is dangerous.

We have no choice as a doctor.

I'm cutting the abdomen open.

You know?

The 1.6 billion of Arabs...

You are putting the knife on the heart of peace.

The doctor is just operating on a patient...

who needs a surgery.

It is just as I suspected.

He has a history of GB surgery.

There is adhesion between organs.

We need to remove it first.

We should take steps precisely.

Bovie.

(The oxygen saturation level is low.)

The blood pressure is dropping rapidly.

He is bleeding a lot.

Insert the blood more.

The blood pressure is still dropping.

What should we do?

We will be in trouble if he dies.

I will be a father soon.

If anything goes wrong,

you will pay for this.

Inshallah.

It is left to the hands of god.

It's not working.

We don't have time for this.

Let's just remove the adhesion...

- and stop the bleeding.
- Transfuse the blood faster.

We have enough blood packs for him here.

We will remove the adhesion and stop the bleeding.

We will take steps as I planned at the beginning.

- But...
- Stop whining.

Bring me 10 RBC packs.

Let's do it again.

We will keep removing the adhesion.

How are things going?

He is still in the middle of surgery.

It seems the Arabic doctor has arrived.

It's done.

We took care of the aneurysm.

The blood pressure is now stable.

Good.

We will put the final touches...

and suture the blood vessels.

It seems like all the surgical operations went well.

It will leave a scar.

It could have been better...

if I had a right chart.

Well, the patient still needs to wake up...

to call a surgery the success.

I would still be worried if I were you.

If I just stayed around and worried and did nothing,

you'd have a dead body now.

He could still die.

I know that too.

Are you all right?

Gosh.

I will stay here. You should go get some rest.

I am okay.

I'm just hungry.

Go eat something...

with Ja Ae and Min Ji.

We will have to take shifts later.

Okay.

By the way...

what if he dies?

We will have a hepatic artery aneurysm case report.

And there will be a slight change in the world history.

Can there be any problem in a recovering stage?

The hemoperitoneum operation went well.

But there can be rebleeding or...

You don't need to explain it.

We will just need to wait for the result.

We did avoid the worst such as an armed conflict,

but we still need the cause...

for diplomatic responses.

We'd need to take a disciplinary action against the person in charge.

This is Commander of Special Forces. Call the signal corps.

Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong. Can you hear me?

I'm the commander.

Salute. Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong.

Captain Yoo Si Jin...

will be dismissed from his post for insubordination.

Have him detained in the barracks.

I know...

that you did a right thing as my guys.

I appreciate it.

But the order remains unchanged.

Take care of it.

Sergeant Gong Cheol Ho.

Captain Yoo Si Jin.

You are dismissed from your post...

for insubordination...

and will be detained in the barracks.

I'm not running off.

I've been... summoned.

Please take follow-up measures...

instead of me.

Is he watching us?

I don't think he is here for ramen.

It is not cooked yet.

That's not it. I'm confused...

if I counted the number of gauze right.

There wouldn't be a gauze inside his body, right?

Why would you say that?

I don't think Ja Ae would make such a mistake.

Do we need to count them again?

How many were there at the beginning?

What are you talking about?

At the word of command,

you will be detained...

in this supply room.

Oh my.

I wish I was detained in a food storage.

Salute.

Dae Yeong, out.

Salute.

You lunatic.

Look at you. You're detained...

- and your team's a mess.
- I apologise.

Why did you do something you must apologise for?

Do you know how many people might have to lose their jobs?

I have no excuses.

I bet you don't. You shouldn't!

You would get promoted at every turn...

if you didn't cause such troubles.

You ruined your own career.

I have no regret.

I made each and every call.

I shall take full responsibility.

I expect you...

to honour that.

Where is Captain Yoo?

He's being detained. You can't see him.

Please. I just need five minutes.

Dae Yeong.

Where's the insane doctor named Kang Mo Yeon?

Let's me see that face.

When the VIP wakes...

I'm...

Kang Mo Yeon.

Is the VIP still unconscious?

He's under observation.

Anyone can say that.

What if he doesn't wake up?

The diagnosis and treatment...

were rational medical decisions.

You're so confident.

Even if you get fired, you can open a clinic, right?

Because you're famous.

But you trashed Si Jin's career.

His 10-plus army career just became a waste,

and he'll never get promoted.

If the VIP never wakes up, he'll have to rot in prison.

It is all because of your medically rational decision.

Let's wake him up anyway.

That way we can save our careers at least.

This is a favour to ask.

Salute.

I'll make hourly reports on...

Don't.

I've had enough of you, so head to the airport.

The transfer is still valid.

I understand, Sir.

In the Captain's absence, I am...

You should've objected this furiously much earlier.

Do you want to be punished for insubordination?

Staff Sergeant Choi, you're interim Company Commander.

You return to Korea, okay?

Yes, Sir.

Listen up, all of you.

If you are questioned back in Korea,

Si Jin volunteered to take full responsibility.

Remember that.

Drive.

Are you leaving?

We set off at 21:00.

Would you consider staying?

Why not stand your ground?

I'm running away because it's an order, not my will.

I am sorry to leave you like this.

Here's my transfer report.

Don't.

I was dismissed, so I'm no longer your superior.

Forget the report.

Today...

every call my superior officer made was right and justified.

And today, every call my superior officer made...

was honourable.

I will see you in Korea, Captain.

Drinks are on me.

For 72 hours.

I report.

As of May 24, 2015, Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong...

was ordered to report to my home base in Korea.

I shall hereby follow orders.

Salute.

Salute.

At 20:50. You have 10 minutes.

Hi.

It's Kang Mo Yeon.

Let's go.

Yes, Sir.

It's really good to see you.

Is this an actual visit?

I am sorry.

You didn't do anything to apologise for.

The patient...

hasn't woken up yet.

Don't you think...

you worry about too many men?

Don't be such a flirt.

As of this moment, you can only worry about me.

I realised...

what you said before was true.

What did I say?

That you look sexy in an operation room.

Why did you do it?

You were able to make a choice.

This didn't have to happen.

I told you.

Beautiful women, children and the elderly must be protected.

That's my rule.

A beauty and an old man.

Two were right there.

I had to step in.

You were pretty brave today.

Do you know that?

Are you crying?

How is it in there?

Do you need anything?

C4 or RDX.

What's that?

Explosives.

I was fine until a while ago.

Now I want to break out of here.

Because of someone.

How can you joke around at a time like this?

I shouldn't.

But I seem to manage difficult stuff.

Aren't I great?

My time is up.

Here.

You might need this.

I have to go.

Thank you.

It's just what I need.

(Mosquito Coils)

(He's not sick anymore.)

(What are you doing? Get lost!)

Hey! He's just a kid.

What's wrong?

(Sir, do you see me?)

(Look at my finger.)

He's awake.

What a relief.

I thought my 37-year-old life was about to come to an end.

The patient saved his doctors.

I'm so pleased.

My family's rich,

but even they couldn't save me from this.

I guess your family isn't that powerful, then.

That was the second time I trembled so much in the OR.

When was the first time?

When I operated on her mum.

I was so scared that something might go wrong.

We have to go. They're moving the patient.

Attention.

Salute.

At ease.

The VIP left for the city with his doctor.

The surgery...

was a success and they seemed pleased.

It's all done.

Good.

You have nothing to worry about.

Get home safely.

I'm with a whining little baby,

so I'll put you on speaker.

I'm Lance Corporal Kim Gi Beom.

How can you do this?

You left without a word.

What else should I do?

I put a dictionary in your locker.

Use it to study for your GED.

Staff Sergeant Choi.

Make sure he studies.

Yes, Sir, I will.

Salute.

Keep up the good work.

Bye.

You're just the person I was looking for.

But you shouldn't be here.

Where are you going?

Are you running away again?

I asked if you're running away.

Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong.

I was ordered...

to return to Korea.

Say it's a strategic retreat.

Tell me to wait.

Say you'll do whatever it takes to come back.

The insects bite.

Wear your uniform even if it's hot.

What does...

this mean?

What do you want?

Take good care of yourself.

Salute.

Why hug me?

Why touch me?

Take ownership of your actions.

You said seeing me like this makes you sad.

You're so nice to other women.

Why not to me?

Did you...

love her very much?

Why do you care?

There are various levels of revenge.

I once promised to make her happy.

No bride would be happy if her wedding is ruined.

You can't be happy if you have regrets.

You aren't here for revenge, then.

Are you here to give her comfort?

Why are you here?

To see who you're marrying.

I saw him on the way in.

You can't say hello.

Maybe on the way out.

Dae Yeong!

Nice to meet you.

And congratulations.

- Who is she?
- I thought I should say hi.

Thanks for letting him go.

I'm his girlfriend.

Let's not call each other "the ex" or "the current girl".

Call me Doctor Yoon.

I'm a doctor.

Are you really dating.

I'll cut to the chase.

I don't think I'll ever miss you.

Thanks to her.

So...

you might as well live a happy life.

Congratulations.

I mean it.

Do you have regrets?

No.

I feel relieved.

I have regrets.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I feel a bit odd.

I upheld my part of the bargain.

Don't forget to tell Si Jin...

that we're dating.

Don't worry.

I said...

I wouldn't marry Si Jin.

I didn't say I'd stay single forever.

What exactly did you say?

All I said was...

"I'm dating Lieutenant Yoon." Just that one sentence.

That was our deal.

So why is there a rumour that we slept together?

Because soldiers are imaginative?

Staff Sergeant.

Is this funny?

It's not boring.

This is about us.

How does "dating" equal "sleeping together"?

It does for us men.

Don't let it get to you.

If it does, you sleep...

You lose.

Sleep?

- A slip of the tongue.
- No way.

Do all men only think about sleeping with women?

That's why I'm bound to sleep...

Lose.

You might not win, but you can get even.

How?

Turn the rumour into a fact.

Into a fact?

Who do you think I am?

Are you okay?

I didn't think you could be so sly.

I am sorry.

Lieutenant Yoon Myeong Ju just arrived at Taebaek Corps.

Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong...

left for the airport at 13:00.

Okay.

It's the Blue House.

Put it through.

This is Commander speaking.

This is Lee Han Soo.

Just a while ago, we have received an informal request...

regarding the VIP operation from the Arab League.

In short,

they request that the operation didn't even exist.

Thus the visit to medicube did not happen.

And they do not want...

any record left on the matter.

Our government has promised our full cooperation.

Regarding Captain Yoo Si Jin,

whether he is punished or commended,

we will respect your judgement.

I will see to that.

Si Jin is still locked up, right?

Yes, that's right.

Delete all classified document regarding the operation,

and let Si Jin go.

But proceed with the disciplinary committee.

Do you mean disciplinary? Not for commendation?

Put the division commander of Taebaek Corps on the phone.

I didn't know there were so many beans in Urk.

You all agreed to this?

For the captain that spent a night and two days in the guardhouse...

and was safely released,

we have prepared the block of tofu in the centre,

tofu stew on the left and tofu with kimchi on the right.

We have made a star too.

Did you say released?

Isn't that right?

Then...

appearance?

Appearance?

It's present.

Captain is present.

Oh, is that so?

- What's wrong with him?
- I'll teach him properly.

Goodness.

Drink this up first.

You two have been saved by Staff Sergeant Choi.

Everyone, attention.

- Attention.
- Attention.

I'll say a few words.

You've all done well,

despite being put on emergency alert...

and Sergeant Major being absent.

Although it is a tofu feast today,

I'll take you all out for barbecue on the weekend,

so enjoy your meal.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Why are you leaving?

Aren't you here to see me?

Later. Enjoy your meal first.

No.

Let's talk now.

I thought you were a quack. But I guess you aren't.

- You saved him.
- I thought you wanted me to do so.

And you listened to me?

I thought you wanted absolute autonomy regarding medical matters.

I see that you hold on to a grudge for long.

And I see that you've become indifferent overnight.

You said one should thank...

for what's thankful.

I was thankful that you trusted me.

Weren't you scared?

Frankly, a little.

Yes.

Weren't you scared?

I'm relatively used to those kind of situations.

And...

I wanted to say this but didn't find a chance to.

I wasn't serious when I said...

some doctors should do broadcasting.

I hope you don't hold on to that.

Well, it's not entirely incorrect.

It is incorrect for a doctor that...

worked to save a patient even with a gun pointed at her.

Well, if you insist.

I think you're right.

But they wouldn't have really shot at me, would they?

Wait, I don't want to hear this.

Don't answer.

Captain.

Hello. Welcome Doctor Kang and Captain Yoo.

I heard that your good judgement...

had saved my life.

Thanks to you,

god has given me more time to do my work.

I thank you in the name of god.

Since you have a chronic heart ailment,

stress is most dangerous.

For a while...

you should stay far away from troubling issues.

He is saying...

that doctors of any nationality start nagging first.

War is easy and peace is always an issue.

Perhaps that's why dictators always live long.

As expected, I am of like mind...

with soldiers than doctors.

(I will take your advice, Doctor.)

(There will be a path that god intends.)

It was an honour to have treated...

such a great person.

(I should be the one to thank you.)

(I have prepared a small gift.)

It's not just any business card.

This card will save you in about any situation...

anywhere there are Arabs.

Oh.

If you have decided to give this to us,

could we ask for another one?

There are two of us...

and this could get wet.

This business card must be some kind of free pass.

Give me one, I'll check if it is.

I will drive.

I will take the car for the day.

How could you use that business card on renting a car?

Not even on taking over a car rental company.

Are you out of your mind?

I never thought you were this thoughtless.

Don't you have any ambition?

You know there's oil here.

Which you can get by just digging up the ground.

Do you know how much we could earn if we could sell some of the oil?

We saved his life.

He was ready to give anything.

Why are you so upset?

I think we used it wisely.

Who says?

We have two hours and a half until we need to return to force.

With me driving,

at this speed it will take 30 minutes.

I will go on a date with you for the two hours that we are left with.

You must be insane.

You used up the business card just to go out on a date.

But wait,

I never agreed to go on a date with you.

I didn't ask for your approval.

Let's go have a cup of tea.

You should ask.

It's such a waste.

This is mine, so don't you dare touch it.

What should I use this on?

Should I open a clinic in Arab?

I should have taken a photo with him.

If I hang up that photo in the hospital,

I would earn so much money, right?

Why did you become a doctor?

Because I did well in school.

Especially in math.

That's very convincing.

Doctors seemed to be paid well.

It's my belief that...

a life chasing after money is better than being chased by money.

It's my courage that...

whatever others do, I get paid for the work I do.

It's my common sense to open up a clinic in Gangnam.

You can call me a materialistic person if you want.

Why do you keep on pretending to be a bad person?

I settled it with myself that I became a doctor for money.

A lot happened since you were gone.

And I've changed a lot since then.

But you don't look any different from then.

I've become more handsome, can't you notice?

Your jokes are the same, I see.

Your smile is even prettier.

Excuse me.

Yes, it's me.

The United Nations?

Who?

- I'm sorry but...
- Again?

You need to take off now?

Yes, you can take the car.

The end to our date still remains the same...

in Korea and here.

Where are you going?

Is it confidential again?

Is that a place where I'm not allowed?

You aren't prohibited from going there,

but I don't think taking you will play to my advantage.

Why do you always want the upper hand?

Because my work itself...

gives me the lower hand in this relationship.

What if...

I still want to go with you?

Hey, what's up?

Well done, guys.

Get back to work.

Hey, Captain.

- Look over there.
- Mask?

- Okay.
- All right.

- Say cheese. In 1, 2, 3.
- In 1, 2, 3.

- Say cheese!
- Say cheese!

Let's go.

We'd better get to work.

It was a long day.

Get some rest.

Was he a friend?

I mean, the man in the funeral.

That took you a long time.

You must've been curious this whole time.

He was my comrade.

But what happened?

It happened while he tried to maintain peace.

That means...

Well, it means that you can...

Yes, so...

let's not talk about that.

See?

This did give me the lower hand.

Good night.

- Under the blue sky
- Under the blue sky

- Lies mountains and rivers
- Lies mountains and rivers

- Another sun rises
- Another sun rises

- In this new prosperous land
- In this new prosperous land

- You and I have given up
- You and I have given up

- Our youth for this land
- Our youth for this land

- Excuse me.
- For the sake

- Of freedom and prosperity
- Of freedom and prosperity

- I will give up
- I will give up

I haven't seen Captain Yoo.

Is he gone somewhere?

He's at the command for the disciplinary committee.

A disciplinary committee? Why?

I thought everything was finished.

It doesn't seem so.

Insubordination equals prison under military law.

You're the one who persisted on doing your surgery.

How could you not know that?

(Taebaek Corps Command, Urk)

Again, I cannot give you an official disciplinary action...

regarding what you have done.

However, the disciplinary committee also believes Insubordination...

cannot be overlooked.

Therefore, your disciplinary action will be about not following...

the regulations during the bomb disposal on May 18th.

You will be punished with salary reduction for three months.

Do you object?

I do not.

Also, you will no longer be a candidate...

of the squadron leader promotion.

Do you object?

I do not.

Great, that's all.

Salute!

What were you thinking? How could you be so easily tricked?

How could you do that?

When did you get here?

Yesterday.

It looks like you've done something.

Don't respect me too much.

You should've just opened up a fancy clinic in Gangnam.

You wouldn't have to come all the way here.

Come on.

I have my ambitions, too.

I will definitely get that star.

It looks like I'll get my star before you,

seeing what you've been doing.

Wow, congratulations.

It looks like you know Dae Yeong went back...

because you aren't looking for him.

I met him at the airport.

I thought so.

Is the airport doing okay?

Whose side are you on?

I am always on my country's side.

It's over there.

Thank you.

She looks awfully familiar.

I know. Goodbye.

This all happened because of me. How can I not step into this?

Why is Si Jin taking all of the responsibilities?

He's done nothing wrong.

He has done things wrong!

He disobeyed an order as a soldier!

I mean, you're a doctor, and you saved your patient.

That's all that matters.

Military laws are a whole different thing!

I was there, so I can witness.

I want to take responsibilities for what I have done!

Excuse me, Doctor. This is not a trial.

Don't you know what a disciplinary action is?

Yoo Si Jin's salary was reduced for three months,

and he was dropped out from a list of promotion candidates.

Can you take responsibilities for such things?

Salute.

I am sorry. Come out.

Excuse me, what are you doing?

Why did you do such a rash thing?

A rash thing?

I just ruined someone's...

It was not because of you.

Do you think I agreed to this to save a woman?

Do you remember...

my gunshot wound on the day we first met?

One of my superiors told me this on my first day...

as a Captain of the Special Forces.

"Soldiers always live with a shroud on."

"When you die in a nameless land for the sake of your country..."

"the place of your death becomes your grave..."

"and your uniform becomes your shroud."

"This should be your mind-set whenever you put on your uniform."

"If you have put it on with such mind-set..."

"be honourable at every moment. There is no reason to fall short."

And I gave my life to him.

That gunshot wound is...

from that battle.

No matter how big or small, all my decisions...

include my comrades' honour, glory and their call to duty.

That particular situation was the same for me.

I have made a decision based on all those things...

and I do not regret my decision.

However, that cannot cover up...

the fact that I violated the military law.

Things of the military will be taken care of within ourselves.

And that means you will let it be,

Dr Kang.

I am very sorry...

that my concern...

got in your ways.

Salute, where are you?

Did you have a safe trip?

I am on a road right now.

A crossroad?

No, a road.

Just a road.

I am on a road which leads me back to the camp.

Are you on your way back to the camp?

No.

I'm just on a road.

Just a regular road!

Oh, whatever you say.

Have you seen Myeong Ju?

Is that so important right now?

I just lost my promotion and my salary, too!

Well, you deserved it.

You're paying a huge price for that woman.

I didn't do it because of that woman.

I made the decision as a soldier who protects "people".

Yes, and "people" was pretty.

What are you trying to say?

Is this why you called?

Not exactly,

but I might as well while I'm on it.

So, have you seen Myeong Ju?

Sergeant Major Seo.

Do you know how expensive international calls are?

You're paying a huge price for a woman.

Salute.

Thanks.

- See you tomorrow.
- Yes, Sir.

Stick your hand inside the cabinet in the kitchen.

You failed to get promoted, and your salary is reduced.

It seemed like you...

would want to have a drink.

What...

is it?

I wanted some water.

Why are you leaving?

You should have some.

It looked like you wanted to be alone.

No.

I want to be with you.

I thought I made myself clear.

Don't go, and come.

Come over here.

Do you want some wine...

instead of water?

Dispatched troops are not allowed to drink.

Didn't you take it out to drink?

I was going to do that,

but it all went down the drain...

because of a witness.

I am sorry...

for acting rashly.

I was going to apologise.

Let's just say I apologised.

But you didn't.

Don't be scared.

Was I too rash again?

How did you get here?

I ran.

I'm the only one who can get here this quickly.

But I saw you...

getting off from a car.

Did you?

Why did you ask, then?

I wanted to hear your joke.

You look good in your dress uniform.

I don't think it's proper for me to say that...

to a person who just received disciplinary measures in it, though.

How did you know this was...

a dress uniform?

Why wouldn't I?

Girls fantasise about uniforms.

That's why I became a soldier.

Is it good?

It's not bad.

Do you like to drink?

I wanted to watch a movie...

and grab a drink with you.

It could've been a perfect date.

Did you watch that movie?

No.

Why...

didn't you?

Because it was a movie...

I was going to watch with someone.

I came to this conclusion.

I should avoid planning on watching a good movie...

when I am on a date with a guy.

I kept on seeing many articles about that movie...

and those articles...

reminded me of you because...

that movie equals Yoo Si Jin to me.

You must want this badly.

I can find a way to drink.

(Descendants of the Sun)

Do you know about the kind of work Si Jin is involved in?

I went against the will of god for no reason.

There must have been a reason for that.

Please come quickly.

Oh, help me. Please help me.

Just hang in there. I will find you.

Who is leaving?

Captain Yoo is.

Captain Yoo Si Jin?
