Episode 1
Where did I put it?
I found it!
Where should we go,
my smily friend?
Legal Complaint.
Plaintiff, Park Cheol.
Named defendant,
Myung Woo Hospital?
What's a legal complaint, dad?
I'm off to school, dad.
I'm off to school, dad.
Is this the residence of
Professor Park Cheol?
That's my father.
Is he inside?
Dad.
Are you Professor Park?
My name is Jang Seok Joo. I'm from the
National Assembly Defense Committee.
I never doubted Myung Woo
Hospital's abilities. But I didn't
expect it to hire an assemblyman
to stop malpractice lawsuits.
Today's trial isn't happening.
Yes.
Hello, Mr. Choi.
I'll be in court on time.
What?
The trial has been postponed?
I asked the Justice
Minister to postpone it
because it might seriously
threaten national security.
It's a medical malpractice suit.
How's it related to national security?
The government is expecting war
soon in the Korean peninsula.
That's a tank!
You look so handsome,
Mr. Soldier!
Look at those wheels!
There are helicopters!
The Americans will begin the war
by bombarding North Korea.
U.S. Navy warships are waiting ashore
to start bombing North Korea.
The fleet includes USS George Washington,
a nuclear aircraft carrier.
Why would America bomb North Korea?
To be precise, they're bombing
the Yongbyon Nuclear Power Plant.
The United States plans to destroy it to
stop North Korea from developing nukes.
But once the bombing starts,
North Korea will retaliate.
And once they do, full-scale war
will break out between the two Koreas.
What's the reason?
I'm just a cardiac surgeon
who only knows how to fix hearts.
Why are you telling me all this?
You're the only person
who can stop the war, Professor.
Good to see you again, sir.
Dad!
I look forward to
hearing back from you.
You didn't go to the hospital?
Can we have lunch first? Please?
I'll be home late today.
Just eat the food that's in the fridge.
Please form a line, ma'am!
Order, order!
Hey, help me
keep them in order!
I guess that ramen is
really delicious, dad.
According to industry spokesmen, the
sale of ramen spiked tenfold just today.
More than 50 million ramen packs have
been sold in the last three days.
Let's eat.
I saw a lot of tanks and soldiers
on my way to school.
Can we go to America if a
war breaks out?
Mom is in America.
War isn't something that
breaks out that easily.
Seoul isn't far. It will turn into
a sea of fire when war starts!
- That's an inappropriate comment...
- Mr. Jeong won't survive it either!
Retract that inappropriate statement!
- Do you think South Korea will just let it happen?
- It just means that you have to be very careful.
Are you declaring war on us right now?
I said, you declared war on us first
with your actions.
Are you not paying attention?
Are you falling asleep?
What?
An unidentified vessel?
What's happening?
Is something out there?
There is a serious stricture
of coronary arteries.
If he doesn't get surgery,
he won't survive more than a month.
What does this have to do with anything?
We can stop the war
if you save that heart.
Sure.
Please bring the patient to my hospital.
The patient can't come here.
You must go to him.
Where would that be?
North Korea.
Are you saying that this is...
That's right.
That's the heart of Kim Il-sung.
If Kim Il-sung dies now, North Korea
will fall into an abyss of chaos.
The Americans are waiting
until that moment.
They think it will be the
best time to strike.
[Mom]
Just hear me out.
I said I can't tell you the reason.
I'm getting married soon. How can
you expect me to take care of him?
I know it's a difficult to ask.
But he is your son, too!
You were always like that. You saw
everything only from your perspective.
I want to forget everything
related to you. Both you and Hoon.
- Hey...
- I'm so sick of everything!
Please don't call me ever again.
Mr. Ji will be here when
you're back from school.
Go stay with him for a couple of days.
Mom will come get you soon.
I want to stay with you, dad.
Just do as what I say.
But mom hates me.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
I'm off to school, dad.
Hoon!
Hoon.
These are the most recent reports
of war simulations by the United States.
Is it true that you've sent a doctor
up to North Korea?
Yes. It was to stop the American
bombardment before it starts.
And one doctor will do that?
Please explain.
The American bombardment will begin when
Kim Il-sung dies from heart problems.
The U.S. thinks the best time to strike
is when they are leaderless.
- Then you sent the doctor to...
- Yes.
I sent him to save Kim Il-sung's heart.
[The Presidential Palace, Pyongyang]
Once the bombardment begins,
North Korea will immediately retaliate
To attack the American
military facilities in South Korea.
But what's more important is that
our nuclear plants are also targets.
If any of our nuclear plants gets hit
A nuclear explosion 1000 times stronger
than the Hiroshima bombing will occur.
Even if we end up winning the war,
a third of South Korea
won't be habitable
for the next 200 years.
His heart has stopped!
- CPR!
- Bring the kit!
Failure is not an option, Dr. Park.
Hoon...
Assemblyman Jang?
The American bombardment is a go.
What?
Mr. President.
- What's happening, Assemblyman?
- Shouldn't we do something?
- Why are you not issuing visas?
- I have family there!
[The Embassy of the
United States in Seoul]
Get the pump ready.
It's ready, doctor.
Ready to restore.
Defibrillator.
Let's finish up.
Stay focused until the very end.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
is visiting Pyongyang
to meet with Kim Il-sung.
Kim Il-sung has promised to temporarily
halt the North's nuclear program.
It is now believed that
the worst of the Korean crisis is over.
Difficult times give birth to a hero,
and that hero rules the world.
Assemblyman Jang, congratulations!
You did it!
What's that?
I saw my father doing this. He did it
after healing someone's wound.
Do you want to
become a doctor?
Yes. I think it's a great thing
to save a person from death.
I think that would be awesome.
My name is Song Jae Hee.
You?
Hoon.
We should go.
Just a moment, dad.
My name is Hoon.
Park Hoon.
Dad, that's a weird looking truck.
Dad.
Aren't we going home?
I don't think we'll be
able to go home.
Why?
We don't need two heroes in Korea.
Jang Seok Joo, is enough.
He's the hero that saved Korea!
- Jang Seok Joo!
- Jang Seok Joo for President!
What happened to my son?
What happened to my son?
What happened to my Hoon?
What happened to my
dear son Hoon?
Hello everyone!
My name is Jang Seok Joo.
Those pigs in South Korea
are cold-blooded bastards.
From now on, Professor Park Cheol
of South Korea is dead.
From now on, you'll live as a
proud citizen of our dear leader.
Comrade Park.
Sorry, the cassette tape got loose.
What do you think?
It's awesome, isn't it?
Everyone knows this
song in South Korea.
So the Office of Southern Affairs
teaches this song
to all our spies before
they're sent down there!
The song is called "Tell Me."
How much is the tape?
2 dollars.
Let me buy one.
Run!
Campus police is coming!
What a pity.
Jae Hee.
I can feel your heartbeat.
I'm scared to death right now.
Just stay quiet.
You know what'll happen
if they get you, right?
It's all destiny.
Is that how you deal
with every trouble?
Apparently everyone's
heartbeat is different.
Just like how there aren't two people
with the same face.
Listen to mine. It's the same
as yours, don't you think?
That's why we are
destined to be together.
I've made a decision.
I've made a decision too.
Huh?
Ouch! Jae Hee!
Just a moment!
Song Jae Hee!
I'm going to tell everything to your father.
How can you do this to
the man of your destiny?
The man of my destiny?
Hilarious!
What are you doing?
Put me down right now!
I'm aware that your parents
are not fond of me.
But they can't do anything
to alter destiny.
Will you marry me?
Where did you get this?
It's pretty, right?
I risked my life selling South Korean
tapes so I could buy this.
You must have lost your mind.
You risked your life for something like this?
Then you can marry me.
Forget it.
We'll get married, okay?
Okay.
I'll marry you.
Maybe in 100 years.
Hey!
Song Jae Hee.
Don't you think this is too much?
Damn.
You didn't come to my class.
What were you doing?
I'm sorry, father.
What would you do if I disappeared
all of a sudden?
I'll search the whole world
and find you.
- Really?
- Of course.
My dad wants to see you.
- Really?
- Yes. He wants you to come for dinner.
But be careful.
My father is a very scary man.
It's fine.
I like scary men.
- Dress up!
- That goes without saying!
Dressing up that much isn't necessary
when you're going to see patients.
Are we going to
the clinic today?
Let's go.
We might be late.
Father.
Can I not go today?
- No.
- Just today. Please?
Think about the patients
who are waiting right now.
If you want to skip today after that,
you may do so again.
There won't be too many
patients today, right?
There weren't that many last time.
It's not an easy task to screen
for disease with proper equipment.
To be a doctor in a place where even
a basic X-Ray machine doesn't exist
you must learn how to screen for disease
without equipment.
The inflammation on the wall layer of
his heart must be sucked out.
Otherwise, it will cause
serious complications.
I only started clinical
training 2 months ago.
What if I stab a wrong place?
I assume you read a lot
of books on anatomy.
Hoon!
I assume you read a lot
of books on anatomy.
Hoon!
Remember those pictures in your head
and feel them with your hands.
Hoon!
Those feelings in your hands will often
show you more than machines.
Hoon!
- Are you feeling okay?
- Yes, I am.
Hoon!
Hoon!
Please, come on in.
Hoon!
Hoon!
I'll finish up here.
Shall we go inside?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
- Hoon!
- Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae hee.
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
What's going on?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Hoon!
Hoon!
I'm scared.
Hoon!
Why?
What's wrong?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Where's the bitch?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Hold on.
Hoon!
Hoon!
- Wait! What are you doing?
- Please don't forget me!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Please don't forget me!
Okay?
Hoon!
Just wait! Wait!
Hoon!
Hoon!
What are you doing to her?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Her family has ties with The General
Association of Korean Residents in Japan.
It seems like the girl's
father has been purged.
Jae Hee didn't do anything wrong.
For political crimes,
the guilt-by-association rule applies.
I must find her.
They might suspect you too.
Just let it go.
She's the reason why
I appreciate my life.
She's the only person who helped me
to find my dream!
Who is Mr. Park Hoon?
Who is it?
I wasn't trying to escape.
My father is very sick!
Are you Comrade Park Hoon?
You're all grown up!
The purpose of this
research center
is to maintain the health
of our dear leader.
Therefore, now you'll never be
able to go outside again.
I'm sure you just saw what'll happen
if you try to escape.
I never said I'd come here.
It's the decision
of the Party.
Then if I study hard here, will I
be the main doctor of our dear leader?
In a way, yes.
What do you mean?
Whether you become his doctor or become
a guinea pig is entirely up to you.
[Five Years Later]
Where are you going this time?
I'm going to make a delivery. I feel
trapped inside of these buildings.
Do you know that you'll be executed if
you leave without permission?
Don't assume that your medical talents
will protect you from everything.
If you stick your nose up in the air too high,
it might get broken.
My nose is naturally big.
Don't you think so? Comrade?
You need to perform a surgery for
myocardial infarction.
Get ready.
Hoon.
Father?
Outsiders aren't allowed to enter here.
How did you get in?
I heard you often leave the premises
without permission.
Yes. I'm combing through every
prison and labor camp out there.
Are you still searching for Jae Hee?
- Of course.
- You should stop.
You might put yourself in danger.
None of your business, father.
Hoon!
This research center's purpose is to
maintain the health of our dear leader.
The quality of the manpower here
is the best in our country.
We train our doctors by bringing most
of the country's heart patients to here.
Please take a look.
They're performing
an off-pump bypass.
Pause the surgery.
He says that if you stop now,
the heart muscle will start dying.
Tell him the electricity will come back
before that. Take the guests outside.
I think the doctor is going to continue.
Stop the surgery! How can he
insert a tube if he can't see anything?
I've done this thousands of times.
What do you mean I can't see?
Cut.
He says the surgeon is amazing.
Please finish up for me.
Well done, Dr. Park.
That was a very impressive surgery.
All the clinical training the past
5 years wasn't for nothing, was it?
- But don't you think it's hilarious?
- What is?
How can the best research center
in the country lose electricity?
Especially during a surgery.
What's there to worry about
if we have you, Dr. Park?
Is this person even alive?
So far, yes.
Where is this patient from?
The condition is abysmal.
The No. 6 Special Supervision Center.
A secret prison for political criminals.
The Asian medicine department will
run some experiments with herbs on him.
And we'll run some experiments on
organ transplant and tumors on him.
I can't do it.
He came in with a daughter.
See if you can use her
organs to make this guy live.
I don't think there'll be a
transplant rejection as they're related.
Do you want me to kill the daughter
to make the father live?
You need to impress those
Europeans once more.
We need their approval to get free
medical machines worth millions of dollars.
- Didn't I just say I can't do it?
- Just do as I say!
The daughter will die.
What will you tell the father later?
They'll all die when they return
to the prison anyway.
I can't do it.
Tell someone else to do it.
Don't be so haughty.
You've done worse things here before.
That's why I can't do it anymore.
Park Hoon!
Doctor, when's the surgery?
- What surgery?
- They're from the Special Supervision Center.
- I won't do it.
- What?
My name is Song Jae Hee.
You?
Please save her.
I don't care if I live.
But please save my Jae Hee...
The organs are heavily damaged.
Especially the kidneys.
They seem to belong to a girl.
She must be going through a tough time.
One of the kidneys of
the male patient is also damaged.
But I think he has a chance to live.
What if I tranplant the man's kidney
to the girl?
That means the man will die.
I can save the girl.
No, you can't.
That's not what a doctor does.
Then what does a doctor do?
Are you really asking
me this question?
Do you know what I did here
the past five years?
I opened the chests of perfectly
healthy people countless times.
I transplanted organs even though
it was obvious that rejection will occur.
I applied thousands of
unverified synthetic grafts.
A countless number of people
died because of me. Then...
What should a doctor do, father?
You probably think that
a doctor never murders people.
Hoon.
You're wrong!
This is the world in which
even doctors murder people.
Is it that bad if I want to murder
someone to save the love of my life?
Tell me what's so wrong with it.
Could it be that this girl is...
Scalpel.
I thought it was supposed to be the man?
The procedure would be easier to show
on a female subject.
They've agreed to provide
medical equipment.
Really?
You may begin.
He is asking for one thing, however.
He wishes to show Dr. Park's skills
to doctors in other countries.
Do you want me to go all
the way to Budapest?
Just for 5 days.
I can't leave my post.
Dr. Park.
They'll only give us the equipments if you go.
I need to keep track of the progress
of my patient.
Is this really how you want to play?
Don't worry, Jae Hee.
I will never lose you again.
Hoon.
Father.
I've been waiting forever.
What are you doing here so late?
Do you even have
a permit right now?
I need to talk to you.
You'll be in trouble if they find out.
Let's go before the power comes back.
Go to Budapest.
I know one of the doctors
that was on the delegation.
So the reason why they
asked me to go to Budapest is...
I got the final confirmation today.
This will be your last
chance to escape here.
I'm sorry.
I can't go without Jae Hee.
She'll go with you, too.
I'm fully aware of what
she means to you.
Father.
Once you leave tomorrow, we'll never
be able to see each other again.
I wish you a life full of
happiness with that girl.
What about you, father?
Don't worry about me.
Father!
Father.
I'm sorry.
I can't go.
Why not?
Because of me?
I'll protect Jae Hee no matter what.
Hoon.
Let's go.
I'll show you the way.
There is a secret exit
at the end of the tunnel.
This is the passage that I use
every time I need to get out of here.
You must reconsider. This is the last
chance to escape from here.
You should go. The power will
be back in any minute now.
Hoon.
Goodbye, father.
Father.
Father!
No!
No, you can't.
Father!
Father!

I've made a decision.
I've made a decision too.
Huh?
Ouch! Jae Hee!
Just a moment!
Song Jae Hee!
I'm going to tell everything to your father.
How can you do this to
the man of your destiny?
The man of my destiny?
Hilarious!
What are you doing?
Put me down right now!
I'm aware that your parents
are not fond of me.
But they can't do anything
to alter destiny.
Will you marry me?
Where did you get this?
It's pretty, right?
I risked my life selling South Korean
tapes so I could buy this.
You must have lost your mind.
You risked your life for something like this?
Then you can marry me.
Forget it.
We'll get married, okay?
Okay.
I'll marry you.
Maybe in 100 years.
Hey!
Song Jae Hee.
Don't you think this is too much?
Damn.
You didn't come to my class.
What were you doing?
I'm sorry, father.
What would you do if I disappeared
all of a sudden?
I'll search the whole world
and find you.
- Really?
- Of course.
My dad wants to see you.
- Really?
- Yes. He wants you to come for dinner.
But be careful.
My father is a very scary man.
It's fine.
I like scary men.
- Dress up!
- That goes without saying!
Dressing up that much isn't necessary
when you're going to see patients.
Are we going to
the clinic today?
Let's go.
We might be late.
Father.
Can I not go today?
- No.
- Just today. Please?
Think about the patients
who are waiting right now.
If you want to skip today after that,
you may do so again.
There won't be too many
patients today, right?
There weren't that many last time.
It's not an easy task to screen
for disease with proper equipment.
To be a doctor in a place where even
a basic X-Ray machine doesn't exist
you must learn how to screen for disease
without equipment.
The inflammation on the wall layer of
his heart must be sucked out.
Otherwise, it will cause
serious complications.
I only started clinical
training 2 months ago.
What if I stab a wrong place?
I assume you read a lot
of books on anatomy.
Hoon!
I assume you read a lot
of books on anatomy.
Hoon!
Remember those pictures in your head
and feel them with your hands.
Hoon!
Those feelings in your hands will often
show you more than machines.
Hoon!
- Are you feeling okay?
- Yes, I am.
Hoon!
Hoon!
Please, come on in.
Hoon!
Hoon!
I'll finish up here.
Shall we go inside?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
- Hoon!
- Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae hee.
Jae Hee!
Hoon!
Hoon!
What's going on?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Hoon!
Hoon!
I'm scared.
Hoon!
Why?
What's wrong?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Where's the bitch?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Hold on.
Hoon!
Hoon!
- Wait! What are you doing?
- Please don't forget me!
Hoon!
Hoon!
Please don't forget me!
Okay?
Hoon!
Just wait! Wait!
Hoon!
Hoon!
What are you doing to her?
Hoon!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Her family has ties with The General
Association of Korean Residents in Japan.
It seems like the girl's
father has been purged.
Jae Hee didn't do anything wrong.
For political crimes,
the guilt-by-association rule applies.
I must find her.
They might suspect you too.
Just let it go.
She's the reason why
I appreciate my life.
She's the only person who helped me
to find my dream!
Who is Mr. Park Hoon?
Who is it?
I wasn't trying to escape.
My father is very sick!
Are you Comrade Park Hoon?
You're all grown up!
The purpose of this
research center
is to maintain the health
of our dear leader.
Therefore, now you'll never be
able to go outside again.
I'm sure you just saw what'll happen
if you try to escape.
I never said I'd come here.
It's the decision
of the Party.
Then if I study hard here, will I
be the main doctor of our dear leader?
In a way, yes.
What do you mean?
Whether you become his doctor or become
a guinea pig is entirely up to you.
[Five Years Later]
Where are you going this time?
I'm going to make a delivery. I feel
trapped inside of these buildings.
Do you know that you'll be executed if
you leave without permission?
Don't assume that your medical talents
will protect you from everything.
If you stick your nose up in the air too high,
it might get broken.
My nose is naturally big.
Don't you think so? Comrade?
You need to perform a surgery for
myocardial infarction.
Get ready.
Hoon.
Father?
Outsiders aren't allowed to enter here.
How did you get in?
I heard you often leave the premises
without permission.
Yes. I'm combing through every
prison and labor camp out there.
Are you still searching for Jae Hee?
- Of course.
- You should stop.
You might put yourself in danger.
None of your business, father.
Hoon!
This research center's purpose is to
maintain the health of our dear leader.
The quality of the manpower here
is the best in our country.
We train our doctors by bringing most
of the country's heart patients to here.
Please take a look.
They're performing
an off-pump bypass.
Pause the surgery.
He says that if you stop now,
the heart muscle will start dying.
Tell him the electricity will come back
before that. Take the guests outside.
I think the doctor is going to continue.
Stop the surgery! How can he
insert a tube if he can't see anything?
I've done this thousands of times.
What do you mean I can't see?
Cut.
He says the surgeon is amazing.
Please finish up for me.
Well done, Dr. Park.
That was a very impressive surgery.
All the clinical training the past
5 years wasn't for nothing, was it?
- But don't you think it's hilarious?
- What is?
How can the best research center
in the country lose electricity?
Especially during a surgery.
What's there to worry about
if we have you, Dr. Park?
Is this person even alive?
So far, yes.
Where is this patient from?
The condition is abysmal.
The No. 6 Special Supervision Center.
A secret prison for political criminals.
The Asian medicine department will
run some experiments with herbs on him.
And we'll run some experiments on
organ transplant and tumors on him.
I can't do it.
He came in with a daughter.
See if you can use her
organs to make this guy live.
I don't think there'll be a
transplant rejection as they're related.
Do you want me to kill the daughter
to make the father live?
You need to impress those
Europeans once more.
We need their approval to get free
medical machines worth millions of dollars.
- Didn't I just say I can't do it?
- Just do as I say!
The daughter will die.
What will you tell the father later?
They'll all die when they return
to the prison anyway.
I can't do it.
Tell someone else to do it.
Don't be so haughty.
You've done worse things here before.
That's why I can't do it anymore.
Park Hoon!
Doctor, when's the surgery?
- What surgery?
- They're from the Special Supervision Center.
- I won't do it.
- What?
My name is Song Jae Hee.
You?
Please save her.
I don't care if I live.
But please save my Jae Hee...
The organs are heavily damaged.
Especially the kidneys.
They seem to belong to a girl.
She must be going through a tough time.
One of the kidneys of
the male patient is also damaged.
But I think he has a chance to live.
What if I tranplant the man's kidney
to the girl?
That means the man will die.
I can save the girl.
No, you can't.
That's not what a doctor does.
Then what does a doctor do?
Are you really asking
me this question?
Do you know what I did here
the past five years?
I opened the chests of perfectly
healthy people countless times.
I transplanted organs even though
it was obvious that rejection will occur.
I applied thousands of
unverified synthetic grafts.
A countless number of people
died because of me. Then...
What should a doctor do, father?
You probably think that
a doctor never murders people.
Hoon.
You're wrong!
This is the world in which
even doctors murder people.
Is it that bad if I want to murder
someone to save the love of my life?
Tell me what's so wrong with it.
Could it be that this girl is...
Scalpel.
I thought it was supposed to be the man?
The procedure would be easier to show
on a female subject.
They've agreed to provide
medical equipment.
Really?
You may begin.
He is asking for one thing, however.
He wishes to show Dr. Park's skills
to doctors in other countries.
Do you want me to go all
the way to Budapest?
Just for 5 days.
I can't leave my post.
Dr. Park.
They'll only give us the equipments if you go.
I need to keep track of the progress
of my patient.
Is this really how you want to play?
Don't worry, Jae Hee.
I will never lose you again.
Hoon.
Father.
I've been waiting forever.
What are you doing here so late?
Do you even have
a permit right now?
I need to talk to you.
You'll be in trouble if they find out.
Let's go before the power comes back.
Go to Budapest.
I know one of the doctors
that was on the delegation.
So the reason why they
asked me to go to Budapest is...
I got the final confirmation today.
This will be your last
chance to escape here.
I'm sorry.
I can't go without Jae Hee.
She'll go with you, too.
I'm fully aware of what
she means to you.
Father.
Once you leave tomorrow, we'll never
be able to see each other again.
I wish you a life full of
happiness with that girl.
What about you, father?
Don't worry about me.
Father!
Father.
I'm sorry.
I can't go.
Why not?
Because of me?
I'll protect Jae Hee no matter what.
Hoon.
Let's go.
I'll show you the way.
There is a secret exit
at the end of the tunnel.
This is the passage that I use
every time I need to get out of here.
You must reconsider. This is the last
chance to escape from here.
You should go. The power will
be back in any minute now.
Hoon.
Goodbye, father.
Father.
Father!
No!
No, you can't.
Father!
Father!
