Ghost Doctor (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
It was actually Dr. Cha.
You mentioned it last time.
You said it was uncanny
how similar I was to Dr. Cha.
-Stop it.
-I'm not assuming Dr. Cha's persona.
Dr. Cha is inside of me.
I said shut up!
What?
What are you saying?
He's…
right next to me.
He's looking at me angrily.
Don't say another word.
Dr. Koh.
Why are you doing this?
Can't you see that you're scaring her?
Step outside. Let's talk. You and me.
Act very naturally, okay?
Don't forget to say bye.
And despite his situation,
he's worried about you.
Shall I enter your body?
What was that?
How could you tell her
without discussing it with me?
You did the same. You did things
without discussing them with me.
And I apologized for that.
I tried to control myself, but I couldn't.
Because of Dr. Jang, you lose your temper.
That's right.
I regret it.
I did it for Dr. Jang too,
I might regret this later.
-What?
-Perhaps…
she's getting back at me in a way.
It could explain why she wants me
to keep my distance from her.
She has no idea when you'll wake up
as she stays by your bedside.
She blames herself for this
as she struggles to help you.
I felt sorry for her.
So?
Should I tell her I've become a spirit
that follows her around?
And that I enter your body at times?
You think she'll believe you
like Mr. Han did?
Why don't you consider
how confusing this is to her?
You want to tell her
how you feel, don't you?
It's the same with her.
I'll tell her myself.
I'll look into her eyes
and say it myself.
I'll wait.
And I'll tell her
all of my feelings
later on at once
myself.
You can't predict when you'll wake up.
-It doesn't matter.
-Your memories will be erased.
-We can just start over then.
-What if you'll never wake up?
Among the wandering spirits I saw
when I was eight,
most of them died and didn't wake up.
They would disappear all of a sudden.
It would happen when I least expected it.
They never got to say farewell
to their loved ones.
So…
you're telling me to say my farewells
because I might die, too?
That's not what I said.
I know.
Pneumothorax, pneumonia, or sepsis.
You have one complication
and you can die right away.
Even if
I die and never wake up…
Seung-tak.
Do you know why a coma patient
can't remember anything?
Because he would lose his sanity
if he recalled his time as a spirit.
Being a spirit
shatters my sense of identity.
If Se-jin can remember things I forgot.
Or if I die like you just said.
I won't be able to bear it.
So how can she bear it?
To follow the natural order,
neither of us should know
or remember this.
There are rules in the real world
that have to be followed.
Who do you think you are?
You can't break those rules.
When somebody dies
without being able to bid farewell,
their loved ones will be crushed.
You know that better than most.
You believe in personal privacy.
You've crossed that line.
Don't cross it again.
You made this mess, you fix it.
You're good at making up excuses.
Dr. Koh. What did you mean earlier?
What were you saying?
Did I say something?
Why you, punk.
I don't remember.
I don't know what I said to you
but just forget it.
That's not a good excuse.
Hey, Dr. Koh!
I think I made a mistake
in thinking of you as a friend.
You were right.
Sometimes, I get confused
when I'm around you.
I thought that was my fault.
Because of my personal losses,
I'm going through a difficult time.
I'm grateful
for the help you gave me before.
I thought we were working together
in treating Dr. Koh.
Because I believed you truly cared
about Dr. Cha.
What is this?
You can't remember?
I should forget what you said?
Is this a joke to you?
A coma patient is a joke?
How could you say such things
about someone who is lying in a coma?
Dr. Jang.
Let me warn you.
Don't get involved
in any of Dr. Cha's treatments.
Don't come to his room ever again.
If you show up again,
I'll give you a piece of my mind
without any hesitation.
Got it?
What? Am I in trouble?
Yes, this is trouble.
I've seen this many times before.
When she gets angry,
she can be scarier than me.
You're in deep trouble now.
What now? She'll give me
a piece of her mind.
You'll have to face her.
Try apologizing until she accepts it.
Let's just tell her the truth, okay?
No, you don't. I said no to that.
He's right next to me.
He's looking at me angrily.
And despite his situation,
he's worried about you.
That bastard.
How could he joke around like that?
When somebody dies
without being able to bid farewell,
their loved ones will be crushed.
You know that better than most.
His friends were already there
when he got to his classroom.
He said hello to them.
Hi, I'm Ji-won.
What's your name?
Hi, I'm Seung-jo.
Do you know why a coma patient
can't remember anything?
Because he would lose his sanity
if he recalled his time as a spirit.
To follow the natural order,
neither of us should know
or remember this.
Who do you think you are?
You can't break those rules.
Are you okay now? Can you move your arms?
Like this?
Put it back on.
-That looks like a beanie.
-Hey.
Really.
Are you cold?
Forget all of it.
Forget everything and enjoy your life.
Be confident and speak your mind.
When did you get here?
Those were the good times.
I thought I was going to be rich.
My son, Joon-young.
I wonder how big he is now.
Why don't you come and visit me?
What? Are you scared?
You've done it before.
So why can't you do it?
But this is different.
Looks like you already forgot
what transpired.
I didn't touch a hair
on the chairman's head.
I was nowhere near him at the time.
You betrayed
Dr. Cha, not me.
Dr. Cha will wake up from his coma
if nothing is done about it.
Will you be able to face him then?
We started this together.
You have to see it to the end.
You need to get your medical career back.
Don't you?
Se-jin.
Se-jin!
Se-jin!
-We have a patient! Hurry!
-Seung-tak?
What happened to Dr. Jang?
Se-jin, wake up.
Se-jin.
Dr. Cha?
-Check her vitals.
-Okay.
CBC, electro.
-ABGA.
-Okay.
-Is it you?
-What?
Yes.
What am I doing here?
I was sleeping in the night-duty room.
Due to overwork and lack of sleep,
she has a cold.
She's also malnourished.
She was found lying on the floor.
Dr. Cha must've been frantic.
He didn't even wake me up first.
When he carried her here,
his face was ashen.
Dr. Cha is next to her, right?
Yeah, he can't take his eyes off of her.
What were you doing
when this was happening?
You told me to behave myself.
Exactly.
You should've brought her food
and taken turns with her.
You better start doing that.
Even a tough man will tumble
after caring for a patient for a few days.
She also sees patients during the day.
It's been months.
You don't need to explain
the relationship they have.
It's obvious.
We have to hurry a bit.
Could you get it done cleanly this time?
Don't forget to say goodbye.
I'm not forcing you to do it.
It's your choice to make, Dr. Ahn.
Whether you'll rot in prison
or be back working as a doctor here.
What a nice day.
It's perfect for a drive
while enjoying the foliage
and relaxing while getting fresh air.
Dr. Cha.
Let Dr. Jang have a normal life now.
CHA YOUNG-MIN
Nurse Jung.
Nurse Jung?
STAR IN THE SKY, JESSICA
He was really a fan.
Oh my gosh.
I think I'm dreaming again.
You're up.
You should sleep more.
Are you feeling better?
What is going on?
What are you doing here, Dr. Koh?
Did I cause this?
Maybe, I shouldn't have said that.
It's my fault.
Because I'm in a coma
and not waking up or dying.
Don't say that.
You just threw away all your happy
hormones with those words.
You're not recharging
because you can't do surgeries.
I need a favor.
I was worried that she'd collapse.
Don't worry too much.
I'll take her there somehow.
If she won't go, I'll force her.
I just need to stay
until she falls asleep, right?
This is the door code.
Thanks for doing this.
I just got here.
Nurse Jung had to go to work.
And I'm on a vacation.
Look here, Dr. Koh.
Can you save your outbursts
after you regain your strength?
Have some breakfast.
I warned you to stay away from me.
You're not taking me seriously.
Am I a joke to you?
What is going on right now?
It's not a joke.
Forget it. I'll leave.
Dr. Cha
wouldn't want that.
Look here.
He wouldn't like that you're tending
to him in such a state.
Dr. Koh, what do you know?
If I were Dr. Cha, I wouldn't like that.
Watching someone collapse
from exhaustion due to me.
Coming back to me regardless
in order to protect me.
"I would rather die."
"Would her life be better if I died?"
Perhaps, I would think like that.
Dr. Koh.
"Would I feel less guilty
if she could rest for a day
and replenish her energy?"
"I should wake up at least for her sake."
I think I'll cheer up with that thought.
I'm sorry
for what I said.
Never mind.
I don't want to talk about it.
I was merely speculating
how Dr. Cha would react.
How would he feel
if he saw you going through a tough time?
What would Dr. Cha do
if he could be present?
So I wanted to help a little.
I didn't want
to cause any trouble for you.
I know I overstepped the boundaries.
This…
won't happen again.
You know there's nobody next to him.
You know that.
Why is there a guard?
That's hot.
It's hot.
I'm not a good cook.
I tried my best though.
I haven't cooked at home in ages.
My cooking skills are rusty.
You cooked this with those hands?
What?
Well, yes.
It might not look appetizing
but it's actually good.
You like tofu, don't you?
And I made an omelet. Your favorite.
I'll get you a cup of water.
Why is this cracked?
I have a new one.
A new cup.
You know where everything
is in the kitchen.
As if you've lived here.
I came by often to see Dr. Cha.
You weren't on good terms with him.
We're in a love-hate relationship.
We're very close.
So I heard a lot about you, Dr. Jang.
Here. Have some.
You're going to leave already?
Rest some more.
I got enough sleep
and ate a nice breakfast.
I feel better. Bye.
Wait a minute.
How about you dedicate
the rest of the day to Dr. Cha?
Like the time you went to
the Jessica concert.
Do the favorite things Dr. Cha enjoyed.
I'm sure Dr. Cha would want that.
The floor is very slippery.
Be careful. You could fall on your face.
Oh, gosh.
What are you doing, Hoon-gil?
Oh boy.
It's kind of lonely around here.
Dr. Cha and the young doctor
aren't around. Bo-mi…
It's not any different.
Wasn't it like that before?
I like that it's quiet again.
That was before.
It used to be busy here but now it's not.
Will he be back?
Of course, he will.
-What?
-He has to since his body is here.
What a lucky guy. He gets to go outside.
Oh gosh. Waiting is such a chore.
What? The coma patients?
We had a scare with one of the patients.
Keeping them around
will only cause headaches.
So have them transferred
to other hospitals.
Well, that's…
We had a little emergency,
but the coma patient is stable now.
Dr. Ban, you tend to override my orders.
-What?
-I let the matter
with the boy patient go.
You think I'm a softie?
Shall we discuss that matter now?
-What?
-I think I'll also bring that up.
The patient in the bed next to the one
who had an emergency.
I recall he was a walnut snack seller.
-Wasn't the lead surgeon…
-We don't have any spare patient beds.
And we did enough for the patients
and even more.
We surely cannot continue like this.
Let's not delay this.
I'm sick and tired of coma patients.
You'll feel a slight discomfort.
You'll feel a slight discomfort.
Mom, I'm in the middle
of something important.
I'll call you back. Sorry.
I'll insert the swab.
Some discomfort.
Soo-jung. I'll drop by
to give you some snacks.
Soo-jung?
Did you hang up?
She hung up.
I haven't been here for many years.
Why did she have to choose to work here?
Which floor
is the Ophthalmology Department?
Which is better? This one or this?
You frequent this shop, Dr. Koh?
I came here with Dr. Cha a few times.
I was here with him a few times.
He criticized me
by calling me a fashion terrorist.
Dr. Cha said that?
What?
Yes. He said he started dressing well.
That one looks nice.
Don’t you get sick and tired
of wearing the same outfit?
You've been wearing that for years.
People were talking about you
behind your back.
They called you a fashion terrorist.
Dr. Cha…
never hated you even once.
He fondly remembers the good memories.
That's why he can't hate you.
He doesn't feel it.
When he was reunited with you,
he was mad
because it took you so long to return.
He had waited for years.
That's probably why.
Since you left,
his personality…
changed a little.
He became petty.
And right now…
he's trying his best…
to hang in there.
So that you won't have to wait long…
until he wakes up.
I know this.
Because I'm close to Dr. Cha.
You're done.
He'll be fine
if he takes his prescribed medication.
You're a young doctor
but you're very good.
I'm so grateful.
Thank you.
I'm just doing my job.
Mom?
Mom, let me explain.
Soo-jung. We need an ABGA test.
-It's an emergency.
-Okay. I'm coming.
Mom, wait a minute.
-Soo-jung, why aren't you on it?
-I'm on it.
Did you talk to their families?
Oh, gosh.
Alright. Tell them
to come to the hospital.
We'll discuss it in person.
Okay.
My life really sucks.
Actually…
I don't make the decisions.
I'm on a fixed salary.
If I cross upper management,
I'll get fired.
Who do we have here?
I look good in this photo.
Back then I was brimming with hope.
I had a sense of duty
and listened carefully to my patients.
There you are. The most caring among us.
He was a fine doctor.
Everyone looked up to him.
It was all for nothing.
He passed so suddenly.
Life can be so in vain.
How could she lie to me?
She said she was in ophthalmology?
What was she doing in ER?
Oh my goodness.
She lied to me.
Did I ever force her to do anything?
I just want what is best for her.
Oh, that brat!
Indeed!
No child knows
how their parents feel towards them.
They think they know best.
So you need
something refreshing when you're upset.
Have this. It's okay.
Your daughter is a doctor
at this hospital?
Well, yes.
You must be proud.
But she seems to be an ER doctor.
ER is tough work.
It's the toughest job in the hospital.
Exactly.
Why did she choose that?
I'm so upset.
Yes, you're upset.
Of course, you are.
No doctor is doing what they do
for respect
or because it's gratifying.
ER doctors run around
saving patients all day.
They stay up late working.
What reward is there
if they don't have time for their family?
It's so meaningless.
The best job is to earn a lot
without a lot of effort.
That's how you repay your parents.
Isn't that so?
Oh my. Lady, you got your priorities
all wrong.
You work at a hospital.
How can you say that?
If a doctor only cares about making money,
that's no doctor.
What kind of utter nonsense
are you spewing?
Are you comfortable?
We can stay in the car.
I'm fine.
It's nice here.
I thought I'd never see a pretty scene
like this again.
Why are you staying by Dr. Cha's side
when it's so hard?
You don't know if he'll wake up.
Sorry. I shouldn't be saying that.
Because I'm afraid
of losing him again.
12 years ago, I left him.
I was so stupid.
I didn't have the courage.
I'm not going to lose him again.
That's why I'm trying harder.
But I'm getting fearful.
I vowed to save him.
I'm afraid I might fail.
There's not much I can do.
You…
are doing your best.
By being at his side.
She's not answering her phone.
Mom is sure mad at me.
Grandpa.
Mom found out.
How do I fix this?
I've seen this scene before.
Maybe it wasn't
Seung-tak in his body then, too.
Doctor.
I heard you collapsed.
Are you okay? Are you feeling better?
I was so alarmed when I heard the news.
See, Doctor?
You look a lot better
after resting for a day.
I'm doing so much for both of you lately.
You hid the Black card.
That?
I gave it to Dr. Kim.
It's to cover the doctor's room upkeep.
I lent you my body and my car.
You have to ask for my credit card?
You've been freeloading off me a lot.
Anyway, thanks.
What kind of thank you is that?
I almost forgot.
The clothes I bought…
584,000 won. Or was it 585,000 won?
Anyway, wire the money to Dr. Jang.
What?
He bought clothes?
I'm not assuming Dr. Cha's persona.
Dr. Cha is inside of me.
I know.
It can't be true.
But it would be nice…
if that were true.
For just a day as if in a dream.
If I studied this hard in med school,
I'd have gotten into Harvard.
What a long way to go.
Seung-tak!
You're up already?
Did the workers wake you?
I know.
Why did you hire contractors?
The noise woke me up.
They're fixing the pipes.
We had problems with water pressure.
It's a mess.
Something is clogging the pipes.
They said they have to replace the pipes.
Oh my. Father!
Are you okay?
Grandpa.
What were you doing there?
Oh no. Oh my goodness. Father.
Hey, use your words.
Don't spray me with water.
Seung-tak, go fetch a towel, would you?
A hose…
A barrier?
-Oh my.
-Seung-jo!
What? Who is it?
What? Why are you here so early?
It's me, Seung-tak.
Take your time to get ready.
I found something.
-What?
-You found what?
-About the barrier.
-What?
The blocked blood flow!
I'm not following.
Your brainwaves are improving
but there's something blocking you.
The wall, the blood vessel, and Seung-jo.
Because the blood flow increased,
it pinched his internal mammary artery.
Could it be that the blood vessel
to your brain is being pinched?
I was tested though.
Yes, you had a CT scan
of your blood vessels.
Nothing looked abnormal.
But you only had brainwave scans.
Because your brainwaves were not normal.
Now your brainwaves are okay.
-Angiography!
-Angiography!
-What are you talking about?
-Let's get him tested first.
-We'll begin now.
-Okay.
Shoot.
The subclavian artery
on his left looks fine.
-Shall we check his common carotid artery?
-Yes.
The left common carotid artery
looks fine too.
There is it.
There it is.
-The innominate artery.
-His innominate artery has narrowed.
We found it. That's it.
How did you discover this?
I was born a genius, you see.
A genius can see an apple fall
and immediately tell that's gravity
and find the density of a material
while in a bathtub.
What? Why you!
Oh my, I'm sorry. I felt so happy.
It's fine. It can happen
when you're happy.
I found the cause
of Dr. Cha's weakening consciousness.
-What?
-Really?
How did he discover it?
How could he?
This is the angiography test we did
this morning.
You can see his innominate artery
has narrowed.
It's causing less blood to flow
to his brain. That's affecting him.
I see.
Why didn't we detect this before?
He had MRI and CT scans.
In his previous CT scans,
it was hard to detect a decrease
in blood flow.
During that time, the flow
was worsening and improving.
That's why it didn't show.
Then did his brainwave activity spike
because of blood flow improvement?
That is hard to tell in medical terms.
What occurred is hard to analyze.
It's outside the realm of medical science.
Why did he have to say that?
Seung-tak is impressive.
He found the cause.
You mean Dr. Cha can wake up from his coma
if you fix the innominate artery?
How will you fix it?
With artery graft surgery.
Replace the entire innominate artery
to improve the blood flow.
You could play it safe
and do bypass surgery.
Since the patient is young,
you should completely fix it.
Did you schedule the operation?
Yes, it'll be done tomorrow at 8 a.m.
You want me to handle Dr. Cha's operation?
Dr. Koh, why are you doing this to me?
Thank you for letting me
operate on Seung-jo.
-What?
-Even though you knew
you'd be in trouble,
you sided with the patient.
We're on the same boat now.
A boat? I haven't done anything.
When Dr. Cha wakes up,
he'll join us on that boat.
Can I get off that boat?
I get seasick.
Please?
Fine.
You'll be the assisting surgeon, right?
What? No, I can't.
Don't you remember what Tess said?
How can we proceed with the surgery
in this situation?
Despite all that, you operated on Seung-jo
without a problem.
It was risky. Our connection wasn't solid.
You said it was momentary, right?
That single moment was very frightening.
It happened again to me
at the clothing store.
I'll pay you back, Dr. Jang.
Thank you.
Did I buy too much?
You're not confident?
Alright then, I heard you.
Who said I wasn't confident?
I'm the best.
You were afraid your urge
to save a patient
wasn't as strong as the others.
That's what motivated you to save lives.
Is there a doctor who wants to cure you
more than you do?
Are you just going to let
Seung-tak keep winning points?
You said you were going to bring him down.
But he's soaring even higher.
When will it happen?
He used to be such a slacker.
Why is he suddenly so motivated?
They're calling him a genius.
Is he possessed by a spirit?
Then you should do an exorcism.
That's ridiculous, Mother.
Aren't you busy?
You'll let them take over the hospital?
You're the older cousin
but you can never beat him.
All your life, you just keep losing.
Mother!
I'll go.
Oh, gosh.
I thought you'd take after me
and be ambitious.
This is so upsetting.
What is it now?
Who is getting an operation?
If they do it, Dr. Cha will wake up?
So who will perform the surgery?
The procedure itself
isn't the most challenging kind.
It'll be hard due to the dissection
and the fact it's a reoperation.
Even if my hand shakes for a moment,
I can control the situation
as I did before.
What are the high-risk areas?
The ones we have to watch out for.
When you attach the innominate artery
and stitch the native and graft.
If you slice the native,
then you have to go deeper.
Which makes it more complicated and risky.
If we don't succeed in stitching it…
It'll be a failure.
Dr. Ban will be the lead surgeon.
And Dr. Koh will be his assisting surgeon.
So Dr. Cha will operate on himself?
Army navy retractor.
Something was off.
Something's happening
between them.
I'm good at this, aren't I?
In the beginning,
I made mistakes and left cuts.
Did it hurt?
Sorry.
It was my first try so I couldn’t help it.
He…
won't be able to remember.
You know why you shave
a coma patient's beard?
You don't know when they'll wake up.
It's so they won't be shocked
when they see themselves after recovery.
I won't remember…
the things that happened during my coma.
You might get mad at me
when you wake up.
It would hurt less
if you get mad with your handsome looks.
It's okay.
We can start over.
That'll do it.
This is the last time
I'll do this for you.
Starting tomorrow, do it yourself.
You know
what I mean, right?
Here's your reward for solving the case.
A reward.
It's a soft drink though. I prefer milk.
I need more protein.
That's a protein drink.
Replenish your protein with that.
Really?
It's cool and refreshing
like the two of us.
Shut up.
I'm drinking one too
cause I didn't have a filling dinner.
You don't look that great today.
Haven't you been going home lately?
You had night shifts?
I'm avoiding going home.
I'm not ready
to face the impending tirade.
From whom?
Did your mom find out the truth?
Let's talk about that later.
Focus on Dr. Cha's surgery for now.
Be on your toes tomorrow.
I'm not going to be doing it.
So why get pumped up?
Don't page me starting tomorrow.
This whole thing will be over now.
It feels great.
A lot of people will be happy.
And there'll be disappointed folks.
What about you?
How will you feel?
Take a guess.
By the way,
what did you witness 20 years ago?
What was it?
What did you see?
I'll tell you later.
I have a lot on my mind.
I don't know if I should wish
for the boy I saw then to forget it all,
Or wish for him to keep pushing
even if it's tough.
I've got a patient coming.
Good luck tomorrow. Bye.
The patient crashed
while riding an electric scooter.
He has a broken rib.
We suspect lung damage.
Looks like we need cardiology.
Seung-tak is available, right?
Page him.
Seung-tak has a big…
I'll call another doctor.
-Have you seen Tess?
-I finally found you. Where were you?
Dr. Cha…
I'm sorry to ask for another favor.
I'm really sorry but…
Could you make a call
to the walnut snack shop?
-What?
-You're having surgery tomorrow.
That's great. Congratulations.
I know you're super busy.
But this is urgent to me.
Hoon-gil is depressed.
And Bo-mi disappeared after recovering.
You know that if I disappear,
it'll be because I died.
WALNUT SNACK RECIPE
I'll go.
And I'll try some of the walnut snacks.
Where is the address?
Anyone in?
So he was a walnut snack artisan.
Who are you?
We're not open.
Nobody buys the walnut snacks that I make.
They're not selling
because they don't taste good.
What?
Just follow this recipe.
You'll find success.
And if you have time,
visit the hospital with your son.
He's been waiting for you.
HODU NARAE
WALNUT SNACK RECIPE
When did you get here?
I'm just returning them
before you wake up.
It's all right.
You don't have to return it.
Thanks.
Thank you…
for all you did.
Sure.
Fix that temper of yours when you wake up.
What? Are you nervous?
That you'll make a mistake operating
on yourself?
Is that it?
Then let the living handle it.
Gosh. You won't listen.
I can't stop you
from trying to save your own body.
Nobody can.
You said it before.
That it's up to heaven's will
whether you wake up or not.
Thanks for the suit.
What are we here for?
It's dusty.
Why didn't they clean my office?
Everything has been untouched.
A life full of happy hormones.
I'd like to do it for you, but I can't.
So do it yourself.
I need to wear these gloves?
I don't say this to anyone
so listen carefully.
Do this once a week.
It's not for moisturizing your hands.
Patients' lives depend on your hands,
so you need to take care of your hands
like the way you care for patients.
Do I have to?
Go to the operating room
at least once a day.
Either assisting a surgeon
or as an observer.
You visited the hospital
since you were a boy.
Do what you did.
Frequent the operating room
and you'll get used to it.
You can overcome your fear.
I'll be by your side to help.
Like you did for me.
This is how…
I'll repay you.
That's strange. He's bleeding.
Nurse Jung!
Yes?
-Hello.
-I'll be there.
Yes?
What?
What's the matter? What happened?
There's blood dripping
from his chest tube.
His heart rate went up
and his blood pressure is falling.
The patient crashed while on a scooter.
Dr. Jung examined his X-ray and CT scan.
He said he would
do a rib fixation tomorrow.
Even though he has a few broken ribs,
luckily, none of them damaged the aorta.
He said he could perform surgery tomorrow
after drawing blood
and monitoring him tonight.
The light color of the blood
indicates the aorta has been torn.
A broken rib cut the aorta
while he was breathing.
He's dying.
He needs to be operated on now.
It's the aorta.
A broken rib cut his aorta.
What?
What should we do?
Don't hesitate. Call a senior doctor.
And call anesthesiology. Schedule surgery.
Call a senior doctor.
I'll move him to an operating room.
What now? Dr. Jung says
it'll take him two hours.
He can't make it?
Are there any other doctors?
Dr. Han had a drink so he can't do it.
Dr. Kim is in another city.
I'm going crazy.
Did you not hear me?
How can we do this surgery?
You said he can't wait for two hours.
We're talking about the aorta.
It's major surgery and very risky.
That's why you have to do it.
My hands are not working right.
I told you this.
What if my hand shakes
in the operating unit?
Don't you know that one mistake
made during surgery like this
could end up killing the patient?
What about your surgery?
Aren't you taking a risk yourself?
That's my life.
Even if the operation is unsuccessful…
Anyway…
this is a different patient.
How can you gamble with someone's life?
Keep drawing blood
and provide him with blood
to keep him alive.
Can a drowning person
wait until rescuers come?
-What?
-A patient can't wait
for a doctor to arrive.
You said that yourself.
Seung-tak!
Why isn't anyone coming?
His blood pressure fell to 60.
The patient won't last much longer.
Do something.
Seung-tak, can't you do something?
You're the only person
who can save this patient.
Did his aorta burst?
Scalpel.
Bovie.
I think it burst already.
It's too late, right?
Deaver retractor.
Suture. Prolene 4-0.
Hey, Seung-tak.
Focus now!
Suture.
They're what now?
They're operating on a critical patient.
The ICU was in chaos.
They mentioned the aorta.
It's supposed to be difficult.
They had to do this?
Hey, Seung-tak. Do something.
Otherwise, the patient will die.
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
What are you doing? Grab the clamp!
Give me the clamp. Hurry.
Hey, Seung-tak.
Why did this have to happen to me?
-Dr. Cha, you ruined Seung-tak's life.
-I don't know if he'll come back.
I want this to end.
I just want to live a normal life.
I don't have much time. I'll die.
You can die before your body
enters the operating unit.
You have a patient who needs a doctor.
The patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
You're telling me to operate on Dr. Cha?
I don't think
we'll be seeing each other anymore.
Subtitle translation by: Eric Park
You mentioned it last time.
You said it was uncanny
how similar I was to Dr. Cha.
-Stop it.
-I'm not assuming Dr. Cha's persona.
Dr. Cha is inside of me.
I said shut up!
What?
What are you saying?
He's…
right next to me.
He's looking at me angrily.
Don't say another word.
Dr. Koh.
Why are you doing this?
Can't you see that you're scaring her?
Step outside. Let's talk. You and me.
Act very naturally, okay?
Don't forget to say bye.
And despite his situation,
he's worried about you.
Shall I enter your body?
What was that?
How could you tell her
without discussing it with me?
You did the same. You did things
without discussing them with me.
And I apologized for that.
I tried to control myself, but I couldn't.
Because of Dr. Jang, you lose your temper.
That's right.
I regret it.
I did it for Dr. Jang too,
I might regret this later.
-What?
-Perhaps…
she's getting back at me in a way.
It could explain why she wants me
to keep my distance from her.
She has no idea when you'll wake up
as she stays by your bedside.
She blames herself for this
as she struggles to help you.
I felt sorry for her.
So?
Should I tell her I've become a spirit
that follows her around?
And that I enter your body at times?
You think she'll believe you
like Mr. Han did?
Why don't you consider
how confusing this is to her?
You want to tell her
how you feel, don't you?
It's the same with her.
I'll tell her myself.
I'll look into her eyes
and say it myself.
I'll wait.
And I'll tell her
all of my feelings
later on at once
myself.
You can't predict when you'll wake up.
-It doesn't matter.
-Your memories will be erased.
-We can just start over then.
-What if you'll never wake up?
Among the wandering spirits I saw
when I was eight,
most of them died and didn't wake up.
They would disappear all of a sudden.
It would happen when I least expected it.
They never got to say farewell
to their loved ones.
So…
you're telling me to say my farewells
because I might die, too?
That's not what I said.
I know.
Pneumothorax, pneumonia, or sepsis.
You have one complication
and you can die right away.
Even if
I die and never wake up…
Seung-tak.
Do you know why a coma patient
can't remember anything?
Because he would lose his sanity
if he recalled his time as a spirit.
Being a spirit
shatters my sense of identity.
If Se-jin can remember things I forgot.
Or if I die like you just said.
I won't be able to bear it.
So how can she bear it?
To follow the natural order,
neither of us should know
or remember this.
There are rules in the real world
that have to be followed.
Who do you think you are?
You can't break those rules.
When somebody dies
without being able to bid farewell,
their loved ones will be crushed.
You know that better than most.
You believe in personal privacy.
You've crossed that line.
Don't cross it again.
You made this mess, you fix it.
You're good at making up excuses.
Dr. Koh. What did you mean earlier?
What were you saying?
Did I say something?
Why you, punk.
I don't remember.
I don't know what I said to you
but just forget it.
That's not a good excuse.
Hey, Dr. Koh!
I think I made a mistake
in thinking of you as a friend.
You were right.
Sometimes, I get confused
when I'm around you.
I thought that was my fault.
Because of my personal losses,
I'm going through a difficult time.
I'm grateful
for the help you gave me before.
I thought we were working together
in treating Dr. Koh.
Because I believed you truly cared
about Dr. Cha.
What is this?
You can't remember?
I should forget what you said?
Is this a joke to you?
A coma patient is a joke?
How could you say such things
about someone who is lying in a coma?
Dr. Jang.
Let me warn you.
Don't get involved
in any of Dr. Cha's treatments.
Don't come to his room ever again.
If you show up again,
I'll give you a piece of my mind
without any hesitation.
Got it?
What? Am I in trouble?
Yes, this is trouble.
I've seen this many times before.
When she gets angry,
she can be scarier than me.
You're in deep trouble now.
What now? She'll give me
a piece of her mind.
You'll have to face her.
Try apologizing until she accepts it.
Let's just tell her the truth, okay?
No, you don't. I said no to that.
He's right next to me.
He's looking at me angrily.
And despite his situation,
he's worried about you.
That bastard.
How could he joke around like that?
When somebody dies
without being able to bid farewell,
their loved ones will be crushed.
You know that better than most.
His friends were already there
when he got to his classroom.
He said hello to them.
Hi, I'm Ji-won.
What's your name?
Hi, I'm Seung-jo.
Do you know why a coma patient
can't remember anything?
Because he would lose his sanity
if he recalled his time as a spirit.
To follow the natural order,
neither of us should know
or remember this.
Who do you think you are?
You can't break those rules.
Are you okay now? Can you move your arms?
Like this?
Put it back on.
-That looks like a beanie.
-Hey.
Really.
Are you cold?
Forget all of it.
Forget everything and enjoy your life.
Be confident and speak your mind.
When did you get here?
Those were the good times.
I thought I was going to be rich.
My son, Joon-young.
I wonder how big he is now.
Why don't you come and visit me?
What? Are you scared?
You've done it before.
So why can't you do it?
But this is different.
Looks like you already forgot
what transpired.
I didn't touch a hair
on the chairman's head.
I was nowhere near him at the time.
You betrayed
Dr. Cha, not me.
Dr. Cha will wake up from his coma
if nothing is done about it.
Will you be able to face him then?
We started this together.
You have to see it to the end.
You need to get your medical career back.
Don't you?
Se-jin.
Se-jin!
Se-jin!
-We have a patient! Hurry!
-Seung-tak?
What happened to Dr. Jang?
Se-jin, wake up.
Se-jin.
Dr. Cha?
-Check her vitals.
-Okay.
CBC, electro.
-ABGA.
-Okay.
-Is it you?
-What?
Yes.
What am I doing here?
I was sleeping in the night-duty room.
Due to overwork and lack of sleep,
she has a cold.
She's also malnourished.
She was found lying on the floor.
Dr. Cha must've been frantic.
He didn't even wake me up first.
When he carried her here,
his face was ashen.
Dr. Cha is next to her, right?
Yeah, he can't take his eyes off of her.
What were you doing
when this was happening?
You told me to behave myself.
Exactly.
You should've brought her food
and taken turns with her.
You better start doing that.
Even a tough man will tumble
after caring for a patient for a few days.
She also sees patients during the day.
It's been months.
You don't need to explain
the relationship they have.
It's obvious.
We have to hurry a bit.
Could you get it done cleanly this time?
Don't forget to say goodbye.
I'm not forcing you to do it.
It's your choice to make, Dr. Ahn.
Whether you'll rot in prison
or be back working as a doctor here.
What a nice day.
It's perfect for a drive
while enjoying the foliage
and relaxing while getting fresh air.
Dr. Cha.
Let Dr. Jang have a normal life now.
CHA YOUNG-MIN
Nurse Jung.
Nurse Jung?
STAR IN THE SKY, JESSICA
He was really a fan.
Oh my gosh.
I think I'm dreaming again.
You're up.
You should sleep more.
Are you feeling better?
What is going on?
What are you doing here, Dr. Koh?
Did I cause this?
Maybe, I shouldn't have said that.
It's my fault.
Because I'm in a coma
and not waking up or dying.
Don't say that.
You just threw away all your happy
hormones with those words.
You're not recharging
because you can't do surgeries.
I need a favor.
I was worried that she'd collapse.
Don't worry too much.
I'll take her there somehow.
If she won't go, I'll force her.
I just need to stay
until she falls asleep, right?
This is the door code.
Thanks for doing this.
I just got here.
Nurse Jung had to go to work.
And I'm on a vacation.
Look here, Dr. Koh.
Can you save your outbursts
after you regain your strength?
Have some breakfast.
I warned you to stay away from me.
You're not taking me seriously.
Am I a joke to you?
What is going on right now?
It's not a joke.
Forget it. I'll leave.
Dr. Cha
wouldn't want that.
Look here.
He wouldn't like that you're tending
to him in such a state.
Dr. Koh, what do you know?
If I were Dr. Cha, I wouldn't like that.
Watching someone collapse
from exhaustion due to me.
Coming back to me regardless
in order to protect me.
"I would rather die."
"Would her life be better if I died?"
Perhaps, I would think like that.
Dr. Koh.
"Would I feel less guilty
if she could rest for a day
and replenish her energy?"
"I should wake up at least for her sake."
I think I'll cheer up with that thought.
I'm sorry
for what I said.
Never mind.
I don't want to talk about it.
I was merely speculating
how Dr. Cha would react.
How would he feel
if he saw you going through a tough time?
What would Dr. Cha do
if he could be present?
So I wanted to help a little.
I didn't want
to cause any trouble for you.
I know I overstepped the boundaries.
This…
won't happen again.
You know there's nobody next to him.
You know that.
Why is there a guard?
That's hot.
It's hot.
I'm not a good cook.
I tried my best though.
I haven't cooked at home in ages.
My cooking skills are rusty.
You cooked this with those hands?
What?
Well, yes.
It might not look appetizing
but it's actually good.
You like tofu, don't you?
And I made an omelet. Your favorite.
I'll get you a cup of water.
Why is this cracked?
I have a new one.
A new cup.
You know where everything
is in the kitchen.
As if you've lived here.
I came by often to see Dr. Cha.
You weren't on good terms with him.
We're in a love-hate relationship.
We're very close.
So I heard a lot about you, Dr. Jang.
Here. Have some.
You're going to leave already?
Rest some more.
I got enough sleep
and ate a nice breakfast.
I feel better. Bye.
Wait a minute.
How about you dedicate
the rest of the day to Dr. Cha?
Like the time you went to
the Jessica concert.
Do the favorite things Dr. Cha enjoyed.
I'm sure Dr. Cha would want that.
The floor is very slippery.
Be careful. You could fall on your face.
Oh, gosh.
What are you doing, Hoon-gil?
Oh boy.
It's kind of lonely around here.
Dr. Cha and the young doctor
aren't around. Bo-mi…
It's not any different.
Wasn't it like that before?
I like that it's quiet again.
That was before.
It used to be busy here but now it's not.
Will he be back?
Of course, he will.
-What?
-He has to since his body is here.
What a lucky guy. He gets to go outside.
Oh gosh. Waiting is such a chore.
What? The coma patients?
We had a scare with one of the patients.
Keeping them around
will only cause headaches.
So have them transferred
to other hospitals.
Well, that's…
We had a little emergency,
but the coma patient is stable now.
Dr. Ban, you tend to override my orders.
-What?
-I let the matter
with the boy patient go.
You think I'm a softie?
Shall we discuss that matter now?
-What?
-I think I'll also bring that up.
The patient in the bed next to the one
who had an emergency.
I recall he was a walnut snack seller.
-Wasn't the lead surgeon…
-We don't have any spare patient beds.
And we did enough for the patients
and even more.
We surely cannot continue like this.
Let's not delay this.
I'm sick and tired of coma patients.
You'll feel a slight discomfort.
You'll feel a slight discomfort.
Mom, I'm in the middle
of something important.
I'll call you back. Sorry.
I'll insert the swab.
Some discomfort.
Soo-jung. I'll drop by
to give you some snacks.
Soo-jung?
Did you hang up?
She hung up.
I haven't been here for many years.
Why did she have to choose to work here?
Which floor
is the Ophthalmology Department?
Which is better? This one or this?
You frequent this shop, Dr. Koh?
I came here with Dr. Cha a few times.
I was here with him a few times.
He criticized me
by calling me a fashion terrorist.
Dr. Cha said that?
What?
Yes. He said he started dressing well.
That one looks nice.
Don’t you get sick and tired
of wearing the same outfit?
You've been wearing that for years.
People were talking about you
behind your back.
They called you a fashion terrorist.
Dr. Cha…
never hated you even once.
He fondly remembers the good memories.
That's why he can't hate you.
He doesn't feel it.
When he was reunited with you,
he was mad
because it took you so long to return.
He had waited for years.
That's probably why.
Since you left,
his personality…
changed a little.
He became petty.
And right now…
he's trying his best…
to hang in there.
So that you won't have to wait long…
until he wakes up.
I know this.
Because I'm close to Dr. Cha.
You're done.
He'll be fine
if he takes his prescribed medication.
You're a young doctor
but you're very good.
I'm so grateful.
Thank you.
I'm just doing my job.
Mom?
Mom, let me explain.
Soo-jung. We need an ABGA test.
-It's an emergency.
-Okay. I'm coming.
Mom, wait a minute.
-Soo-jung, why aren't you on it?
-I'm on it.
Did you talk to their families?
Oh, gosh.
Alright. Tell them
to come to the hospital.
We'll discuss it in person.
Okay.
My life really sucks.
Actually…
I don't make the decisions.
I'm on a fixed salary.
If I cross upper management,
I'll get fired.
Who do we have here?
I look good in this photo.
Back then I was brimming with hope.
I had a sense of duty
and listened carefully to my patients.
There you are. The most caring among us.
He was a fine doctor.
Everyone looked up to him.
It was all for nothing.
He passed so suddenly.
Life can be so in vain.
How could she lie to me?
She said she was in ophthalmology?
What was she doing in ER?
Oh my goodness.
She lied to me.
Did I ever force her to do anything?
I just want what is best for her.
Oh, that brat!
Indeed!
No child knows
how their parents feel towards them.
They think they know best.
So you need
something refreshing when you're upset.
Have this. It's okay.
Your daughter is a doctor
at this hospital?
Well, yes.
You must be proud.
But she seems to be an ER doctor.
ER is tough work.
It's the toughest job in the hospital.
Exactly.
Why did she choose that?
I'm so upset.
Yes, you're upset.
Of course, you are.
No doctor is doing what they do
for respect
or because it's gratifying.
ER doctors run around
saving patients all day.
They stay up late working.
What reward is there
if they don't have time for their family?
It's so meaningless.
The best job is to earn a lot
without a lot of effort.
That's how you repay your parents.
Isn't that so?
Oh my. Lady, you got your priorities
all wrong.
You work at a hospital.
How can you say that?
If a doctor only cares about making money,
that's no doctor.
What kind of utter nonsense
are you spewing?
Are you comfortable?
We can stay in the car.
I'm fine.
It's nice here.
I thought I'd never see a pretty scene
like this again.
Why are you staying by Dr. Cha's side
when it's so hard?
You don't know if he'll wake up.
Sorry. I shouldn't be saying that.
Because I'm afraid
of losing him again.
12 years ago, I left him.
I was so stupid.
I didn't have the courage.
I'm not going to lose him again.
That's why I'm trying harder.
But I'm getting fearful.
I vowed to save him.
I'm afraid I might fail.
There's not much I can do.
You…
are doing your best.
By being at his side.
She's not answering her phone.
Mom is sure mad at me.
Grandpa.
Mom found out.
How do I fix this?
I've seen this scene before.
Maybe it wasn't
Seung-tak in his body then, too.
Doctor.
I heard you collapsed.
Are you okay? Are you feeling better?
I was so alarmed when I heard the news.
See, Doctor?
You look a lot better
after resting for a day.
I'm doing so much for both of you lately.
You hid the Black card.
That?
I gave it to Dr. Kim.
It's to cover the doctor's room upkeep.
I lent you my body and my car.
You have to ask for my credit card?
You've been freeloading off me a lot.
Anyway, thanks.
What kind of thank you is that?
I almost forgot.
The clothes I bought…
584,000 won. Or was it 585,000 won?
Anyway, wire the money to Dr. Jang.
What?
He bought clothes?
I'm not assuming Dr. Cha's persona.
Dr. Cha is inside of me.
I know.
It can't be true.
But it would be nice…
if that were true.
For just a day as if in a dream.
If I studied this hard in med school,
I'd have gotten into Harvard.
What a long way to go.
Seung-tak!
You're up already?
Did the workers wake you?
I know.
Why did you hire contractors?
The noise woke me up.
They're fixing the pipes.
We had problems with water pressure.
It's a mess.
Something is clogging the pipes.
They said they have to replace the pipes.
Oh my. Father!
Are you okay?
Grandpa.
What were you doing there?
Oh no. Oh my goodness. Father.
Hey, use your words.
Don't spray me with water.
Seung-tak, go fetch a towel, would you?
A hose…
A barrier?
-Oh my.
-Seung-jo!
What? Who is it?
What? Why are you here so early?
It's me, Seung-tak.
Take your time to get ready.
I found something.
-What?
-You found what?
-About the barrier.
-What?
The blocked blood flow!
I'm not following.
Your brainwaves are improving
but there's something blocking you.
The wall, the blood vessel, and Seung-jo.
Because the blood flow increased,
it pinched his internal mammary artery.
Could it be that the blood vessel
to your brain is being pinched?
I was tested though.
Yes, you had a CT scan
of your blood vessels.
Nothing looked abnormal.
But you only had brainwave scans.
Because your brainwaves were not normal.
Now your brainwaves are okay.
-Angiography!
-Angiography!
-What are you talking about?
-Let's get him tested first.
-We'll begin now.
-Okay.
Shoot.
The subclavian artery
on his left looks fine.
-Shall we check his common carotid artery?
-Yes.
The left common carotid artery
looks fine too.
There is it.
There it is.
-The innominate artery.
-His innominate artery has narrowed.
We found it. That's it.
How did you discover this?
I was born a genius, you see.
A genius can see an apple fall
and immediately tell that's gravity
and find the density of a material
while in a bathtub.
What? Why you!
Oh my, I'm sorry. I felt so happy.
It's fine. It can happen
when you're happy.
I found the cause
of Dr. Cha's weakening consciousness.
-What?
-Really?
How did he discover it?
How could he?
This is the angiography test we did
this morning.
You can see his innominate artery
has narrowed.
It's causing less blood to flow
to his brain. That's affecting him.
I see.
Why didn't we detect this before?
He had MRI and CT scans.
In his previous CT scans,
it was hard to detect a decrease
in blood flow.
During that time, the flow
was worsening and improving.
That's why it didn't show.
Then did his brainwave activity spike
because of blood flow improvement?
That is hard to tell in medical terms.
What occurred is hard to analyze.
It's outside the realm of medical science.
Why did he have to say that?
Seung-tak is impressive.
He found the cause.
You mean Dr. Cha can wake up from his coma
if you fix the innominate artery?
How will you fix it?
With artery graft surgery.
Replace the entire innominate artery
to improve the blood flow.
You could play it safe
and do bypass surgery.
Since the patient is young,
you should completely fix it.
Did you schedule the operation?
Yes, it'll be done tomorrow at 8 a.m.
You want me to handle Dr. Cha's operation?
Dr. Koh, why are you doing this to me?
Thank you for letting me
operate on Seung-jo.
-What?
-Even though you knew
you'd be in trouble,
you sided with the patient.
We're on the same boat now.
A boat? I haven't done anything.
When Dr. Cha wakes up,
he'll join us on that boat.
Can I get off that boat?
I get seasick.
Please?
Fine.
You'll be the assisting surgeon, right?
What? No, I can't.
Don't you remember what Tess said?
How can we proceed with the surgery
in this situation?
Despite all that, you operated on Seung-jo
without a problem.
It was risky. Our connection wasn't solid.
You said it was momentary, right?
That single moment was very frightening.
It happened again to me
at the clothing store.
I'll pay you back, Dr. Jang.
Thank you.
Did I buy too much?
You're not confident?
Alright then, I heard you.
Who said I wasn't confident?
I'm the best.
You were afraid your urge
to save a patient
wasn't as strong as the others.
That's what motivated you to save lives.
Is there a doctor who wants to cure you
more than you do?
Are you just going to let
Seung-tak keep winning points?
You said you were going to bring him down.
But he's soaring even higher.
When will it happen?
He used to be such a slacker.
Why is he suddenly so motivated?
They're calling him a genius.
Is he possessed by a spirit?
Then you should do an exorcism.
That's ridiculous, Mother.
Aren't you busy?
You'll let them take over the hospital?
You're the older cousin
but you can never beat him.
All your life, you just keep losing.
Mother!
I'll go.
Oh, gosh.
I thought you'd take after me
and be ambitious.
This is so upsetting.
What is it now?
Who is getting an operation?
If they do it, Dr. Cha will wake up?
So who will perform the surgery?
The procedure itself
isn't the most challenging kind.
It'll be hard due to the dissection
and the fact it's a reoperation.
Even if my hand shakes for a moment,
I can control the situation
as I did before.
What are the high-risk areas?
The ones we have to watch out for.
When you attach the innominate artery
and stitch the native and graft.
If you slice the native,
then you have to go deeper.
Which makes it more complicated and risky.
If we don't succeed in stitching it…
It'll be a failure.
Dr. Ban will be the lead surgeon.
And Dr. Koh will be his assisting surgeon.
So Dr. Cha will operate on himself?
Army navy retractor.
Something was off.
Something's happening
between them.
I'm good at this, aren't I?
In the beginning,
I made mistakes and left cuts.
Did it hurt?
Sorry.
It was my first try so I couldn’t help it.
He…
won't be able to remember.
You know why you shave
a coma patient's beard?
You don't know when they'll wake up.
It's so they won't be shocked
when they see themselves after recovery.
I won't remember…
the things that happened during my coma.
You might get mad at me
when you wake up.
It would hurt less
if you get mad with your handsome looks.
It's okay.
We can start over.
That'll do it.
This is the last time
I'll do this for you.
Starting tomorrow, do it yourself.
You know
what I mean, right?
Here's your reward for solving the case.
A reward.
It's a soft drink though. I prefer milk.
I need more protein.
That's a protein drink.
Replenish your protein with that.
Really?
It's cool and refreshing
like the two of us.
Shut up.
I'm drinking one too
cause I didn't have a filling dinner.
You don't look that great today.
Haven't you been going home lately?
You had night shifts?
I'm avoiding going home.
I'm not ready
to face the impending tirade.
From whom?
Did your mom find out the truth?
Let's talk about that later.
Focus on Dr. Cha's surgery for now.
Be on your toes tomorrow.
I'm not going to be doing it.
So why get pumped up?
Don't page me starting tomorrow.
This whole thing will be over now.
It feels great.
A lot of people will be happy.
And there'll be disappointed folks.
What about you?
How will you feel?
Take a guess.
By the way,
what did you witness 20 years ago?
What was it?
What did you see?
I'll tell you later.
I have a lot on my mind.
I don't know if I should wish
for the boy I saw then to forget it all,
Or wish for him to keep pushing
even if it's tough.
I've got a patient coming.
Good luck tomorrow. Bye.
The patient crashed
while riding an electric scooter.
He has a broken rib.
We suspect lung damage.
Looks like we need cardiology.
Seung-tak is available, right?
Page him.
Seung-tak has a big…
I'll call another doctor.
-Have you seen Tess?
-I finally found you. Where were you?
Dr. Cha…
I'm sorry to ask for another favor.
I'm really sorry but…
Could you make a call
to the walnut snack shop?
-What?
-You're having surgery tomorrow.
That's great. Congratulations.
I know you're super busy.
But this is urgent to me.
Hoon-gil is depressed.
And Bo-mi disappeared after recovering.
You know that if I disappear,
it'll be because I died.
WALNUT SNACK RECIPE
I'll go.
And I'll try some of the walnut snacks.
Where is the address?
Anyone in?
So he was a walnut snack artisan.
Who are you?
We're not open.
Nobody buys the walnut snacks that I make.
They're not selling
because they don't taste good.
What?
Just follow this recipe.
You'll find success.
And if you have time,
visit the hospital with your son.
He's been waiting for you.
HODU NARAE
WALNUT SNACK RECIPE
When did you get here?
I'm just returning them
before you wake up.
It's all right.
You don't have to return it.
Thanks.
Thank you…
for all you did.
Sure.
Fix that temper of yours when you wake up.
What? Are you nervous?
That you'll make a mistake operating
on yourself?
Is that it?
Then let the living handle it.
Gosh. You won't listen.
I can't stop you
from trying to save your own body.
Nobody can.
You said it before.
That it's up to heaven's will
whether you wake up or not.
Thanks for the suit.
What are we here for?
It's dusty.
Why didn't they clean my office?
Everything has been untouched.
A life full of happy hormones.
I'd like to do it for you, but I can't.
So do it yourself.
I need to wear these gloves?
I don't say this to anyone
so listen carefully.
Do this once a week.
It's not for moisturizing your hands.
Patients' lives depend on your hands,
so you need to take care of your hands
like the way you care for patients.
Do I have to?
Go to the operating room
at least once a day.
Either assisting a surgeon
or as an observer.
You visited the hospital
since you were a boy.
Do what you did.
Frequent the operating room
and you'll get used to it.
You can overcome your fear.
I'll be by your side to help.
Like you did for me.
This is how…
I'll repay you.
That's strange. He's bleeding.
Nurse Jung!
Yes?
-Hello.
-I'll be there.
Yes?
What?
What's the matter? What happened?
There's blood dripping
from his chest tube.
His heart rate went up
and his blood pressure is falling.
The patient crashed while on a scooter.
Dr. Jung examined his X-ray and CT scan.
He said he would
do a rib fixation tomorrow.
Even though he has a few broken ribs,
luckily, none of them damaged the aorta.
He said he could perform surgery tomorrow
after drawing blood
and monitoring him tonight.
The light color of the blood
indicates the aorta has been torn.
A broken rib cut the aorta
while he was breathing.
He's dying.
He needs to be operated on now.
It's the aorta.
A broken rib cut his aorta.
What?
What should we do?
Don't hesitate. Call a senior doctor.
And call anesthesiology. Schedule surgery.
Call a senior doctor.
I'll move him to an operating room.
What now? Dr. Jung says
it'll take him two hours.
He can't make it?
Are there any other doctors?
Dr. Han had a drink so he can't do it.
Dr. Kim is in another city.
I'm going crazy.
Did you not hear me?
How can we do this surgery?
You said he can't wait for two hours.
We're talking about the aorta.
It's major surgery and very risky.
That's why you have to do it.
My hands are not working right.
I told you this.
What if my hand shakes
in the operating unit?
Don't you know that one mistake
made during surgery like this
could end up killing the patient?
What about your surgery?
Aren't you taking a risk yourself?
That's my life.
Even if the operation is unsuccessful…
Anyway…
this is a different patient.
How can you gamble with someone's life?
Keep drawing blood
and provide him with blood
to keep him alive.
Can a drowning person
wait until rescuers come?
-What?
-A patient can't wait
for a doctor to arrive.
You said that yourself.
Seung-tak!
Why isn't anyone coming?
His blood pressure fell to 60.
The patient won't last much longer.
Do something.
Seung-tak, can't you do something?
You're the only person
who can save this patient.
Did his aorta burst?
Scalpel.
Bovie.
I think it burst already.
It's too late, right?
Deaver retractor.
Suture. Prolene 4-0.
Hey, Seung-tak.
Focus now!
Suture.
They're what now?
They're operating on a critical patient.
The ICU was in chaos.
They mentioned the aorta.
It's supposed to be difficult.
They had to do this?
Hey, Seung-tak. Do something.
Otherwise, the patient will die.
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
What are you doing? Grab the clamp!
Give me the clamp. Hurry.
Hey, Seung-tak.
Why did this have to happen to me?
-Dr. Cha, you ruined Seung-tak's life.
-I don't know if he'll come back.
I want this to end.
I just want to live a normal life.
I don't have much time. I'll die.
You can die before your body
enters the operating unit.
You have a patient who needs a doctor.
The patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
You're telling me to operate on Dr. Cha?
I don't think
we'll be seeing each other anymore.
