Dr. Romantic (2016–2023): Season 2, Episode 14 - Selective Dyslexia - full transcript

I need to talk to you, sir.

What's it about? Go ahead.

I'm afraid…

I have to move to another hospital.

I heard there's a doctor

called Doctor Kim at Doldam.

Just seal the paper quietly

unless you want us to cut off his hands.

Crushing the hands

of some rural hospital doctor?

For us,



it's a piece of cake.

There's a hospital in Seoul…

that offered to pay me twice as much.

It bothered me
that I had to pay you a million won

every single month,

and if I get paid twice as much,

I could probably pay off everything else.

That's why…

I decided to do it.

You already decided to do it?

I'll follow the progress

of the patient in the ICU.

Then I'll resign.

Hey, Woo-jin.



What's going on?

You suddenly disappeared
and had us worried,

then came back saying
you'll move to a different hospital.

Why is everything so random with you?

I'm tired. I need some rest.

Shouldn't you at least explain?

Didn't you hear me?

-I'm going to a hospital in Seoul.
-Where in Seoul?

You can't go anywhere because of Hyun-jun.

He lifted…

their boycott against me.

He did?

He can't forgive me for what I've done,

but he also doesn't want to ruin
his junior's life.

He went to the alumni associations

and brought the contract himself,

complete with double my current salary.

Isn't he something?

Tell me.

You're using money as an excuse.
I know you have another reason.

The whole world already knows
that I'm a guy in need of money.

Why should there be another reason?

You're being

really weird and awkward.

Do you know that?

Do you know what was…

the weirdest and most awkward for me

in my entire life?

It's this place, Doldam Hospital.

The people I met here.

The time I spent with them.

And…

It's time for me to wake up

and return to where I was.

That's the right thing to do for everyone.

I SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO DEDICATE MY LIFE
TO SERVING HUMANITY AS A DOCTOR

DOCTOR AGENCY, CEO IM HYUN-JUN

SELECTIVE DYSLEXIA

-Are you coming in now?
-What brings you here this early?

What do you think?

-I'm here to schedule the surgery.
-Haven't you told Professor Park yet?

-I won't open up the OR for him.
-Of course I did.

However,

he's going ahead with it.

Then find another anesthesiologist.

Don't you think you're a bit too much?

What?

Professor Sim.

Did you already forget what happened
three years ago?

Don't you remember who took your side
when you were about to be fired?

If you're thankful for
what Professor Park did,

you shouldn't do this to him.

I'm doing this for his sake.

I'm afraid he'll cause major trouble.
Don't you get it?

That's why you and I should help him

so that no matter what happens,
he finishes this surgery successfully.

That's what Professor Park wants the most.

That is…

how you repay someone,

Professor Sim.

Is his urine all right?

It was fine.

If his oxygen saturation changes,
let me know.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

The operation went well. Don't worry.

I'll check in often.

Okay.

Let's watch him until the afternoon.

If his BP is stable and his urine is fine,

-we'll move him to a regular ward.
-Yes, Doctor.

Doctor Seo.

May I ask you a question?

Do those creditors

have anything to do
with the decision you made yesterday?

Why do you ask?

Just because.

I just want to know.

I don't want to tell you.

Even if I do, nothing will change anyway.

STAFF ONLY, ICU

So what?

Is Woo-jin really leaving us?

Yes.

He's leaving.

That's too bad.

I thought he was getting settled in.

Do you think he did this

because he was threatened
by his creditors?

That's what I think too.

He doesn't seem like the type

to make such a decision
only because of money, Doctor Kim.

He'll be paid twice as much.

How can there be any other reason?

Money is the truth and life in this world.

Show me the money.

All that money.

That's just your opinion.

Let's just say it's my animal instinct.

My basic instinct.

-Do you still study English?
-I signed up to long-term classes.

I seem to have a knack for it.

Did you take care of the headhunter?

Well…

Somewhat, I guess.

Why can't you give us a clear answer?
Don't tell me he got to you.

Gosh. Watch your mouth,

Doctor Nam.

Figures.

He'd be the perfect target
because he's so gullible.

What? Did you just call me "gullible"?
What do you take me for?

What? Woo-jin is leaving too?
He's leaving to work in Seoul?

Who said that?

That recruiter is going around saying

that he hooked him up with a new hospital,
and that he signed the contract too.

He already signed everything?

How accurate is this information?

Did Doctor Seo really sign the contract?

Is he sure?

It's not just Doctor Seo.

He said a few more will be signing soon.

Come to think of it, it looked like

Doctor Jeong had been
meeting with him often.

Me?

My goodness.

No way.

I met him a few times
because we went to the same school.

I'm getting thirsty.

Did I catch a cold?

One rotten apple
does really spoil the barrel.

Can't we do something
about that recruiter or whatever?

We can.

I'll have a talk with him.

He was my senior in school,
and we were in a study group together.

You can all stay still.

Wow.

Do you know where he is?

MEN'S BATHROOM

Would you like some juice?

Right, sure.

Is your work

going smoothly?

Yes, I've been discussing it
with a few places.

I see.

I heard

a rumor that

you doubled Doctor Seo's salary.

What?

Of course, I'm not a doctor,

so I won't expect it to be doubled.

-But come on.
-Yes, sure.

I'll get you as much of a raise
as you deserve.

I'm discussing it with a few places,
so give me time.

You'll hear good news very soon.

Goodness.

Please make sure

you do a great job for me, Mr. Im.

Sure.

Okay.

JEONG IN-SU, JOO YOUNG-MI, KIM MIN-KYUNG

HONG YOON-JUNG, LEE YU-RI, KIM IN-AE

BAEK JONG-A, CHO YE-WON, SO MI-RAN

SEO WOO-JIN

CONFIRMED

WPW syndrome tends to come
without any symptoms,

but if he develops atrial fibrillation,
he could even die suddenly.

Not everyone who has WPW syndrome
dies on the operating table.

On top of that, he's young,

and he has never shown any symptoms.

There isn't a huge possibility
that what you're worried about

will happen.

May I ask why you're trying so hard

to push ahead with this surgery?

Doctor Park.

Do you use your scalpel to win?

I truly hope

that the surgery goes well.

It's time you got off…

that bus.

Professor Park.

Obviously,

it's for the patient.

OR SCHEDULE

Please do not make me

regret this decision.

Right.

Why don't you let Doctor Seo
go in as your first assistant?

It's open surgery, not laparoscopy.

Doctor Yang isn't as good
at open surgery, is he?

I think Doctor Seo will be more helpful

with his operating skills.

Don't you know

what Professor Park thinks of him?

He's a troublemaker who never listens.

-How can he be in such an important--
-Since this surgery is important,

don't you think it's right
to put personal feelings aside,

Doctor Yang Ho-jun?

How's the patient you operated on?

He's showing good progress.
He'll be moved to a regular ward soon.

I'll keep my eye on him until tonight,

and I'll get packed up by tomorrow night.

By tomorrow night?

Yes.

What about your other patient?

The abdominal injury patient was
the last patient I operated on.

Why do you keep changing your story?

What about this?

You said you're my doctor

until you take the stitches out.

You'll need to take these out
before you leave.

And you.

You haven't made my diagnosis yet.

Pardon?

What do you want to know?

Your current condition.

It's not something GS should worry about.

But still, I'm your doctor right now.

It'll help me make a diagnosis
if you tell me your symptoms.

Doctor.

Back then, I was--

The symptom of my elbow is…

Yes.

What you saw back then is correct.

It's not just my elbow.

My wrist, the back of my neck,
and my shoulder blades hurt.

And I get a little bit of a headache too.
After operating for about two hours,

my back, thighs, and even calves

swell up, hurt, get tight, and feel numb.

These symptoms are
usually caused because of aging,

and lack of exercise.

It could also be
because of overwork and stress.

Or it could be a mix of any of those.

Doctor Kim.

And there were around two instances
when the pain was almost irritating.

The level of pain was

about three or four on the NRS scale.

Internal Medicine-wise,

I have indigestion

and a bit of heartburn.

Now,

those are all the symptoms I have

which you need to know of.

If you want to find a lead,

you can find it there.

What? Can't you do it?

Doing this won't change anything.

I already signed the contract.

Think of it as your last assignment
from me.

You should have something in your heart

from the time you spent here with me.

Don't you think so?

You have until the end of this week.

I'll let you ask only two more questions.

So think carefully and ask.

You get…

only two chances.

That's all.

STAFF ROOM

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Hey, Hyun-jun. It's me.

Where are you?

HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE

He's not around the lobby.

He's not upstairs either.

And not around the restrooms.

Maybe he isn't here yet.

Hey.

Found him.

You did?

Where is he?

In a treatment room.

I'm hanging up.

What happened?

Did Woo-jin sign the contract?

Yes.

I got those guys to make him sign it
last night.

Then can you give me
a copy of the contract too?

-Why do you need that?
-I need it for something.

What are you doing?

Will you knock before you come in?

I need to talk to you.

TREATMENT ROOM 4

How did you threaten him?

-What do you mean?
-I'm talking about Woo-jin.

He's going to a different hospital
because of you, right?

You know there's no way
I can threaten him to do anything.

He's going because of money, that's all.

He's in need of money.

Exactly.

It's weird.

He's getting paid twice as much,
but he doesn't look thrilled,

as if he's leaving against his will.

It doesn't matter if he's like that.

-What does that have to do with you?
-To be honest, you were at fault

for using ghost surgeons.

Hey, Eun-jae.

But you acted as if you're the victim,

turning Woo-jin into the offender,
when he only wanted to right your wrong.

He was boycotted by the entire industry
and almost got kicked out as well.

So, what are you trying to say?

Yet Woo-jin

never said a bad word about you.

He never said you were at fault
or that he was falsely blamed.

I never saw him complain
or make an excuse for what happened.

What about you?

Why did you follow him down here
to continuously bully him?

He lost his entire career
because of a senior he trusted,

and he finally patched it up
and began to settle down here at Doldam.

Was it that dreadful to see that?

Were you that jealous?

Is that why you're shaking him around?

Are you crazy?

What are you doing right now?

Did you sleep with him?

My gosh. What did he just say?

He must be completely insane…

TREATMENT ROOM 4

Hold your horses.

If you go in right now,
it'll turn into a huge fight.

-Move aside.
-No, you can't go in.

Hey, stop him from going in!

No, Doctor Seo.

What did you just say?

It's not like you're his wife.

Why are you so worked up
over what happened to him?

Anyone can obviously see what's going on.

No?

That's enough, Ho-jun.
This is a tiny industry, Eun-jae.

Your reputation will be ruined at once
if you continue to hang out with Woo-jin.

Be careful.

TREATMENT ROOM 4

Are you insane?
How dare you hit your senior's head?

-You hit my head like that first!
-What?

It wasn't physical,

but it was the same.

No.

You resorted to cheap
and disgusting acts of violence,

worse than any physical abuse!

-You!
-Don't talk down to me like that, Yang!

What?

"Yang"?

Just "Yang"?

As of this hour, you are

not my senior or anything else.

Please stop annoying me
by using your position as a senior.

And…

you need to stop acting like the victim.

You two aren't even funny.

PROFESSOR PARK MIN-GOOK

PROFESSOR PARK MIN-GOOK

Yes, Professor Park.

I'm sorry,

but can you say that again?

PROFESSOR PARK MIN-GOOK

SPEAKERPHONE

Mr. Kang Ik-joon's Whipple procedure

will begin at two o'clock.

You'll be my first assistant.

Please don't answer him.

Why won't you answer me?
Aren't you going to come in?

Please don't answer him.

Yes, sir.

I'll be there.

Get ready and come to the monitoring room.

Before that, I have something to tell you.

-What is it?
-Actually,

there's a problem with my contract.

Your contract? What is this about?

Actually, I signed

a contract with Hyun-jun yesterday.

A hospital in Seoul
offered to pay me twice as much.

And the contract says

I can only stay here until today.

So I'm asking you to adjust that date.

How so?

Think of it
as your last assignment from me.

You have until the end of this week.

-To the end of this week.
-To the end of this week?

Shouldn't I stay and watch the progress

of the patient I will operate on today?

I'll have enough time to do that
if I stay until the end of the week.

I'll try to adjust the date.

Anything else?

I heard the patient has WPW syndrome.

We already consulted Internal Medicine.

Is there any problem?

Even the meticulous Professor Sim
reviewed everything.

There's nothing to worry about.

Yes, sir.

Then I'll get ready. See you in the OR.

Doctor Yang.

Is there anything else I should know?

Well…

Here. Take it.

I'm guessing it's yours.

Here.

-Who is it?
-Pardon?

Do Yun-wan?

Professor Park?

No, it's not like that.

I learned by hearsay

that there are great medical staff
here at Doldam Hospital.

In that case,

you should have come to me first.

I'm the oldest and the best surgeon

here at Doldam Hospital.

How can I mess with someone like you,
Doctor Bu Yong-ju?

You already have.

JEONG IN-SU, JOO YOUNG-MI…

I did a little digging on these hospitals,

and all of them have been caught
for conducting illegal medical practices.

They were often fined,

and the worst place was

shut down for a couple of months.

Yet they haven't quit conducting

the illegal medical practices.

If you're going to make money
for referring doctors to hospitals,

the least you can do is
find decent hospitals.

Oh, I know.

If these hospitals

went to you in need of doctors,

that already speaks for itself.

Give that to me.

You sellout!

You sold your family, your conscience,

and even your junior. What now?

Are you going to sell out
your fellow doctors?

I'm doing this to make a living too.

If I don't do this,
if I don't hold out like this,

there's no way I can survive.

No matter how poor, angry,

humiliated, and degraded you feel,

there's something you never compromise.

It's something called your conscience.

How much have you tried
to keep your conscience clear?

How much did you hold out?

You live your life however you like

according to your greed.

If something will bring you money,

you sell your conscience and whatever else

to take that dirty money.

I tried as much as I could too!

I tried my hardest to live
with a clear conscience.

But it didn't work, so what can I do?

It's unfair for me too!

Don't get conscience and greed confused.

That's why you always think

things are only unfair for you.

You poor thing.

Eun-jae.

Are you there?

Yes, why?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Because of me,
you heard something you didn't have to.

That wasn't your fault.

It's their problem for having

such a disgusting thought process.

Anyway, don't take my side from now on.

And don't step in to cover for me.

Okay?

I don't want to do that.

I don't want to hold myself back

from saying what I want,

and let things slide
and avoid people like them.

I don't want to do that.

I'm not going to live like that anymore.

Are you listening to me?

No, you need to listen to me, Eun-jae.

Stop going around dealing with
their nonsense because of me.

We're allies.

Don't allies take each other's side?

When things get tough for me,
I'm going to ask you to take my side.

If I need you,
I'm going to boss you around too.

Well, if you're going
to a different hospital

because you don't want me to do that,
I can't say anything to stop you.

But you know,

you won't find another ally like me.

I'm smart, witty,

and I recently broke away from my mom.

I don't even feel nauseated anymore,
and I'm an excellent surgeon too.

Cut to the chase.

So don't go.

You wanted us to stay here forever.

You said that first. Right?

Right?

What's your plan?

What if…

I really cross over the line?

What will you do?

No.

Never mind.

WOMEN'S CHANGING ROOM

Nurse Um, did Doctor Jeong step out?

I'm not sure.
I haven't seen him since earlier today.

-Can you try calling him?
-Sure.

I'll take this.

Hello, this is Doldam Hospital's ER.

Yes, that's right.

Sorry?

CONTRACT

JEONG IN-SU

JEONG IN-SU

Darn it.

JEONG IN-SU

-Nurse Park.
-Is this…

Is this yours?

Well…

Well, I…

The ER is calling.

CONTRACT

Yes, what's wrong with the patient?

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU HEALTHY

It's a 60-year-old male.

He collapsed
due to his end-stage lung cancer.

The paramedics

are bringing him here at the moment.

Okay.

But the thing is…

What is it?

It's Mr. Yeo.

What?

Incoming!

This way. Quick.

Let's move him. One, two, three!

I'll remove this.

-The blood glucose level?
-It was 75.

Now it's 72.

Give him D10W.

And two ampoules of thiamine on the side.

Check his blood sugar level
every 30 minutes.

We'll do an ABGA.

His oxygen saturation is at 92.
Should we give him oxygen?

Yes. The mask, at six liters per minute.

And do the full test,

including an electrolyte test.

What is your name?

Kang Ik-joon.

-What is this surgery for?
-Pancreatic cancer.

I'll administer your anesthesia now.
Relax and take a deep breath.

Give him oxygen.

This is oxygen.

We'll insert an A-line to monitor him.
Please give me what I need.

Make sure I can see the EKG monitor.

-I want to do the five-lead monitoring.
-Five leads?

-Isn't it normally three?
-I want five, please.

Will Doctor Seo be here?

Yes.

He'll be the first assistant.

May I begin, Doctor Sim?

Yes. Please get started.

This patient, Kang Ik-joon,
has pancreatic head cancer.

We'll now begin the Whipple procedure.

Scalpel.

Gauze.

Bovie.

Retractor.

What are you doing? The retractor!

Right, the retractor.

Get out if you can't stay focused!

-I'm sorry.
-Sponge stick, please.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

You'll get the up-front payment tomorrow.
Don't even dream of running away.

See?

I told you it had something to do
with the loan sharks.

You were right.

So they're taking the up-front payment.

I know a few people who deal

with things like this professionally.

BAEKJANG DISTRIBUTION, LEE JANG-SIK

-Doctor Cha.
-Doctor Cha.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

If you ever have a problem
or any difficulties while you're here,

please don't hesitate
to get in touch with me.

I might contact those thugs

and give them a chance to repay me.

What do you think?

Don't complicate things.

Why don't you let me handle it?

I'd appreciate that, Doctor Cha.

TREATMENT ROOM 1

All he does is study bones.

He can't "handle" it on his own.

Hello?

Hello, this is Cha Eun-jae,

number two at Doldam Hospital.

Right, yes.

So you remember me.

Yes.

I know.

If I get involved,

Dad will probably find out.

But you see…

if I turn a blind eye and hide again…

I'll really regret it.

See you later, Elizabeth.

You too, Jessie.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

I don't see a mass.

And no hemorrhage.

I don't see any cerebral edema either.

Then the loss of consciousness

isn't related to the brain.

-I have the test results.
-Right, how does it look?

He has severe hyponatremia
as well as rhabdomyolysis.

Insert the Foley and do a urine test.

I'll take care of that.

Oh, okay.

What about three-percent NaCl?

It's very likely that he has hypovolemia,

so let's hydrate him
with normal saline first.

Check his electrolytes every two hours.

Sir, he's having a seizure!

SEIZURE: A CONVULSION

It's V-fib.

I'll do chest compressions.

-Doctor Jeong.
-What?

Don't tell me…

Did he sign a DNR?

DNR: DO-NOT-RESUCITATE ORDER

Doctor Kim.

What do we do, Doctor Kim?

Doctor Kim!

Doctor Kim!

Let's do chest compressions.

Nurse Um, bring the defibrillator.

Now!

Metzenbaum scissors.

The tie.

How's the patient doing?

So far, so good.

-Cut.
-Okay. Cut.

What? What's going on?

It's V-tach.

V-TACH: VENTRICULAR TACHYARDIA

I think it's A-fib with WPW.

-I still feel a pulse.
-What's his BP?

80 over 40.

Synchronized cardioversion, 150 joules.

Remove the drape!

200 joules.

-Charged.
-Step back!

Clear!

-Compression!
-Let me take over.

One milligram of epinephrine every three
minutes through the IV. Intubate him.

Hey, what are you doing? Do it properly!

Okay!

The Ambu bag.

One milligram of epinephrine
every three minutes.

The Ambu bag, please.

Checking his heart rhythm.

Charge to 200 joules. Hold this for me.

Okay.

-Charged.
-Step back!

Clear!

Compression.

Don't squeeze too fast!

-Only once every six seconds!
-Okay.

Let's check his heart rhythm.

Again, 200 joules.

Charged.

Step back.

Clear!

Compression.

-Give him 300 mg of amiodarone.
-Administering 300 mg of amiodarone.

Checking his rhythm.

Asystole.

ABSENCE OF VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS

Let me check his rhythm.

ROSC. He's back.

RETURN OF SPONTAENOUS CIRCULATION

I think…

we should just call it.

CURRENT TIME: 17:39

Patient Kang Ik-joon…

time of death,

5:39 p.m.

You scumbag.

ELEVATOR, OPERATING ROOM

WPW syndrome.

Are you sure you consulted an internist?

What do you mean?

Did Professor Sim voluntarily agree
to perform the surgery?

Didn't you just push ahead with it?

-That's what I'm asking.
-You won't be held responsible anyway.

This is your last day here, after all.

I was told I could stay

until the end of the week
if I scrubbed in.

Yes, but only if you had
a living patient to observe.

He died.

Right?

RESTRICTED AREA: OPERATING ROOM

At the moment, he's stable.

But…

But what?

It seems like

Mr. Yeo signed a DNR.

And Doctor Kim

went against it and revived him.

Hey.

Did you get my text?

That's what happened with Mr. Yeo.

Doctor Kim is quite distraught.

So is everyone else at Doldam.

I'm just curious.

Why did you follow me out that day?

I realized

you could've stayed at that hospital
because you've got the skills.

If you had stayed,

a stellar career would've been guaranteed.

I'm just wondering why you joined me.

Because you wanted to show everyone.

You said we should show the world…

that people like us…

could also live the good life.

That's what you said.

You see,

I really wanted to live a decent life.

My parents

and even my aunt…

probably thought that things…

would be much easier with me dead.

That's why I wanted to survive and thrive.

I wanted to show them…

that I actually deserve…

a decent life.

I wanted…

to show everyone

that I have what it takes…

to live a decent life.

That's why I liked you.

You said even a punk like me…

was worthy of something.

That's why.

You're helpless.

I wanted to help

lift the boycott on you…

but a jerk like you…

DOCTOR AGENCY

You need to rot more
at a lousy hospital like this.

With that ill-tempered man, Doctor Kim,
this place is perfect for you.

Just remember…

that I'll be watching you.

So…

you better live a decent life.

Okay?

Show everyone that you can do it.

All right?

CONTRACT

Oh, Moon-jung.

SURGERY, FAMILY MEDICINE

Where is Doctor Seo?

He's still here.

In fact…

I've been keeping him here.

Doctor Seo. Are you leaving now?

Yes, I guess.

-Give it back already.
-What?

Right.

Okay.

By the way, I think you have a visitor.

Woo-jin.

Why are you here again?

You still have to harass me like this?

I'm sorry, Woo-jin.

I'm sorry… for harassing you,

beating you up,
and making you pay unreasonable interest.

I'm sorry about everything.

Well, I'm sorry too.

Happy now?

What is this about?

You paid back the principal in full

as well as all the interest…

so as for what's left…

We decided to just let it go.

-What?
-Anyway, don't ask questions.

This is where we part ways.

Well, goodbye.

This is it.

Let's go.

Let's never cross paths again.

Okay?

What just happened?

They're really leaving, just like that?

-They'll never come back?
-They won't, apparently.

I knew it.

Baekjang Distribution didn't let me down.

What did you say?

What?

Nothing. You don't need to know.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Hey, guys.

Did you tell him politely?

I'm asking you a question.

Why are you all quiet?

Did you tell Doctor Cha,

Doldam's number two,

and her friend, Doctor Seo,

that you'd never show up again?

Politely, like this.

Did you tell them or what?

Hey, look.

You guys are not the reason we're here.

Goodness.

Look at him with his pride.

-I know.
-All right.

Goodness, okay.

Don't worry. It's not like

I'll go around telling others about this.

So just chill and… What the heck?

Just don't ever

come this way again, okay?

Doldam Hospital and Jeongseon

are on our turf.

I hope I got…

my message across.

Hey, let's go.

All right.

Get back safely.

We won't see you off.

Boss.

-Yes?
-Over there.

My gosh.

Guys, where are your manners?

Doldam Hospital's number two

is smiling at us.

All right, guys. Let's show our respect.

-Good night, Dr. Cha!
-Good night, Dr. Cha!

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

I'm Doldam's number two? Awesome.

To cheer you up.

I'm all right.

I totally understand
Doctor Kim's decision.

I do too.

But at the same time…

I can't quite say
it was the right decision.

I have never

questioned his decision, but…

This time, I'm just not sure.

Perhaps Doctor Kim

is feeling the same way, don't you think?

Doctor Kim.

You should get some rest.

I'll stay here.

I…

went against his wishes.

I'm sure…

he'll understand.

What happened today

is probably something…

that I'll have to deal with
for the rest of my life.

SON

Hi, Yul.

Yes.

I was in surgery,

so I couldn't answer your call.

What?

Of course.

Yes, I saved him.

Right.

What about you? How was the lesson?

CHAIRMAN DO YUN-WAN

Hello, Park Min-gook speaking.

I just heard the unfortunate news.

So he died on the operating table?

Are the chairman of Sejen and his wife

aware of this?

They would've…

probably heard about it by now.

I made it clear to you

that they're very important clients
of ours.

How could you let this happen?

I'll take responsibility
for everything that happens…

from now on.

Just stepping down or resigning…

won't do.

What do you mean by that, sir?

Listen to me carefully.

This might be

your only chance to survive.

Come in.

What's up? What do you need?

-The assignment you mentioned yesterday…
-Yes.

I'll do it.

You can only ask two questions. That's it.

Do I get any hints?

What?

Okay, fine.

Oh, one more thing.

Gosh, what now?

About the money I owe you…

Can I continue to pay you back

a million won a month for the time being?

But why?

I heard a hospital in Seoul offered you
twice your current salary.

Did things not go well with them?

Well, kind of.

They decided against it.

I was told to rot here for a bit longer.

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

Take this.

What is this?

You asked for a hint.

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

This is a lot of reading for just a hint.

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

Carefully read through everything,

and you'll find some hints.

There.

Now, you can only ask

one more question.

Sorry?

Gosh, you'll count this as a question?

You got a problem with that?

Then just give up.

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

Back then, I had absolutely no idea.

THE ODDBALL PROJECT

About the meaning

behind the Oddball Project,

which Doctor Kim introduced me to.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

Isn't that man…

Could he be…

HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE

This place hasn't changed at all.

Did you take care of the headhunter?

Don't tell me he got to you.

-Gosh, come on.
-Figures.

He'd be the perfect target
because he's so gullible.

What? Did you just call me "gullible"?

What do you take me for?

Feel free to call me if you're interested.

I'll take good care of you.

I'm working on it, so give me some time.

Great work, Mr. Jang.

But why are you asking me

to keep this a secret?

"Do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing."

That's just my fate as a lonely hero.

What's "gullible" in English?

Gosh, Doctor Nam.

How would he know that?
What's "apple" in English?

-"Apple"? Goodness.
-What is it?

It's "apple." Did you think
I'd say Steve Jobs?

My goodness.

Then what about "pineapple"?

It's "pineapple," obviously.

How's his brain?

You saw Doctor Do In-beom?

What brings you here?

Hey, please.

Why? You can't see?

I guess your eyesight
isn't as good as your hands.

Their goal is to find a reason

to shut down Doldam at all costs.

It looks like they're even
going to desert Professor Sim.

What did you just do, Doctor Seo?

I won't let anyone harm Doldam Hospital

or Doctor Kim.

You punk! Do you have a death wish?

I won't let anyone mess with us.
