Ghost Doctor (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Episode #1.13 - full transcript
It's hot.
Seung-tak, put on your life jacket.
Hurry. Wear it.
Dad! There's a big--
Seung-tak!
Doctor, his blood oxygen levels
are falling.
What?
What can we do?
We need to use ECMO.
But Dr. Oh isn't here.
Oh, no.
Hey, Seung-tak! Where are you going?
What was the cause of death?
Patient went into shock after losing blood
due to a tear in his aorta.
Was there a medical mistake?
We can't blame Dr. Koh because
the patient's blood pressure plummeted
while they were waiting for Dr. Jung.
Something had to be done to prevent it.
When they opened up the patient,
his aorta had burst already.
It's not a mistake then?
A resident would have
applied pressure using their hands
while waiting for the surgeon.
In his haste to save the patient,
Dr. Koh tried to operate…
Moreover, the patient suffered
from high blood pressure.
So his aorta was larger
than the average person's.
Which means his aorta was weakened.
Anyway, under the circumstances,
Dr. Koh did the best he could do.
Are you reading from a script?
I get the sense that you're covering
for each other.
Is that what you'll tell the family?
Of course, we must take responsibility
for what happened to the patient.
We failed to fulfill our moral obligation.
It's hard to call it a malpractice case.
We'll see about that after a review.
But what are you doing here, Dr. Ban?
-What?
-Don't you have an operation to do?
The operation will be canceled?
What do you mean?
It's not a delay?
It'll be canceled entirely?
We're dealing with a problem right now.
The senior doctors are all preoccupied.
I don't know what it could be
but what about his surgery?
Then when will it be rescheduled?
It's hard to tell.
Where is Dr. Koh right now?
Well, you see…
The problem involves Dr. Koh.
Seung-tak!
Stop right there.
You can't leave like this.
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Why that punk…
I told you so.
I warned you to be careful.
I was kicked out of his body
during surgery.
I tried to enter his body, but I couldn't.
Why did it have to happen at that moment?
Even if it didn't,
you would've lost the patient.
You should've stopped
when you felt something was wrong.
You had to enter his body
to try to save someone.
It wasn't me this time.
I saw the desperation in his eyes.
It must have been the same look you had.
If he was that desperate,
he should've done it himself.
That would've been
the wiser career choice.
When he returns,
make sure he doesn't do that again.
I don't know if he'll come back.
I realized something
after experiencing that.
I could never operate on a patient.
I might not be able to save lives,
but I don't want to let anyone die.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have entered his body.
Then he wouldn't have lost a patient
he was operating on.
If you knew it was a mistake,
why are you wringing your hands
and blaming yourself?
You need to think of a way to fix this.
Both of you are so pathetic.
I should punch you in the throat.
I'm off.
-Is that Seung-tak? What did he say?
-The number you have dialed…
-Where is he?
-…cannot be reached.
Why did he turn off his phone?
Come on. Answer your phone.
Why did Seung-tak act so recklessly?
He thinks he can save every patient.
It got to his head.
He only has himself to blame for this.
He was overconfident.
How can you criticize him?
If it were you, you wouldn't
have been able to do anything.
Seung-tak tried his best
to save the patient.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Please leave a message…
-Intern Oh.
-…after the tone.
-Did you get a hold of him?
-Isn't he answering?
His phone is turned off.
He's not checking his messages either.
Didn't expect this reaction.
After running out of surgery,
he went AWOL.
It's a big shock, of course.
I knew he would
get in big trouble someday.
-He was getting too cocky.
-I'll punch you in the throat.
Should a doctor act like a bystander
and not do anything?
Doctors are supposed to intervene
to save lives.
Patients aren't something
we have to avoid.
-Have you checked the hotels?
-We've called all the hotels in the city.
He left his car in the parking lot.
So that makes it harder.
He must have not gone home then.
He's not home yet?
I couldn't reach him on his phone,
so I came to find him.
It must've been a shock.
The whole family is worried,
so he should've gone home.
Don't worry too much.
He needs time to process it.
Seung-tak is stronger
than you think he is.
I'm sure
he'll be back soon.
-Thanks.
-Don't worry about the operation.
I'll make sure his family is treated well.
You know what I do.
This is my job.
Seung-won.
Your uncle. Seung-tak's dad.
He died while trying to save Seung-tak.
-You know that, don't you?
-Of course.
In a boating accident 20 years ago.
And the shock he had from that day
had made him this way.
You remember that, right?
He used to be a cheerful
and very thoughtful child.
But after the accident,
he had totally changed for years.
I'm afraid, Seung-won.
I'm worried he'll go far away again.
Why did you encourage him
to become a doctor if he was so precious?
You know what goes on at a hospital.
You didn't foresee that
this was bound to happen?
It would have been nice
if you had made him quit the hospital.
I clearly gave you a chance.
I understand the situation.
But Dr. Cha needs this surgery.
If Dr. Koh can't do it,
there are other surgeons, right?
But Seung-tak has to be present
during Dr. Cha's operation.
Who said so?
Did Dr. Ban say that?
Actually, I agree with him.
We're talking about Dr. Cha's operation.
So I believe our genius surgeon,
Seung-tak needs to handle it.
I know Dr. Koh has exceptional skills.
But he's just a first-year resident.
He's not just any first-year.
He's as good as a star doctor.
It wasn't always like this,
but he became this good since he operated
on Dr. Cha's tamponade case.
He's been doing complicated surgeries
by himself since.
It's hard to blame the lead surgeon
for the patient's death.
It wasn't that the doctor showed neglect
while the patient was fading.
If we were to suspend the doctor over this
when he tried his best,
the whole medical community
will be in uproar including our hospital.
You make it sound like I'm blaming him.
Don't try so hard.
Just follow the procedures
and medical report.
The hospital will cover all funeral costs.
And offer a hefty compensation
to the family.
Yes, sir.
What about the suspension of Dr. Koh
that you asked me to pursue?
What's the point? It's over for him.
It's a hassle and distraction.
Forget about it.
Seung-tak won't return to the hospital.
Right. He can't.
Process his resignation letter
when he submits it later.
I feel a chill down my spine.
You must be here, Dr. Cha.
You can tell?
Go ahead and jump out the window.
Before I push you myself.
Were you plotting again
to get rid of Seung-tak?
Seung-tak suffered a tragic loss.
So you think he'll implode
without your prodding?
It's not me.
Dr. Cha, you ruined Seung-tak's life.
-What?
-I didn't do anything to him.
You're the one who clipped his wings.
Why did you go that far?
What did you do to him
when he's emotionally unstable?
Let's look at the facts now.
I didn't put you in your predicament.
You were just unlucky.
Stop blaming others.
I feel sorry for Seung-tak.
Why did you do all those surgeries
while inside his body?
You've been using my cousin
so that you could survive.
Now look what you've done.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
Do you feel better now?
No.
It pains me.
I didn't know about his personal tragedy.
I'm worried.
He's got a weak constitution
and it could get weaker.
I'm frustrated.
I want to talk to him but I can't leave.
Why am I talking to myself?
But you're wrong about one thing.
Nobody clipped his wings.
His life isn't over.
You don't know him.
You don't know him like I do.
I was told you said
that Dr. Koh had to be present
in Cha's surgery.
So you did.
So you have. Well, you see…
Even though he's just a first-year
resident, he's our best surgeon.
You haven't seen him operate
so it could be hard to believe.
Dr. Ban, have you seen
Dr. Koh operate then?
Of course, I saw it.
Many times.
This isn't a matter
that should be publicized.
The first time Dr. Koh performed surgery,
our department was shocked.
It felt as if we were all possessed
seeing him operate like that.
If it just happened once,
I could write it off.
But he kept amazing us again and again.
His skills were just amazing.
It's on a supernatural level.
A total mystery.
Sometimes I think
he really is possessed by a spirit
and that he was gifted
by the heavens with his talent.
Did Dr. Koh tell you he would handle
Dr. Cha's surgery?
Of course.
With tears welled up in his eyes,
he pleaded to do it.
Dr. Koh is very determined
to save Dr. Cha.
And Dr. Koh came up
with the procedure himself.
So please wait a little more.
I think that's prudent.
If we can't wait any longer,
I can do the operation. I'll manage.
But I'd like our best doctor
to operate on Dr. Cha.
I am very fond of Dr. Cha.
He's a good friend.
-But you're asking me to wait?
-What?
I can't wait much longer.
If Dr. Koh is crucial to this surgery,
then please bring him back soon.
Otherwise, I'll ask someone else.
Dr. Koh…
will return.
He's a mysterious person and hard to read.
I do know one thing about him.
He cares about saving lives.
He's taken bold stances
that have humbled us.
Dr. Cha.
Are you here by any chance?
Can you hear me?
If you can, please give me a sign.
I'm sorry for intruding.
I didn't barge in. I knocked first.
It's all right.
You're Dr. Oh Soo-jung, right?
You know me?
I saw you working in ER.
You're friends with Dr. Koh.
I was about to go down to talk to you.
Have you talked to Dr. Koh?
No, not yet.
I thought he'd answer your calls.
What brings you here?
Right. I almost forgot.
Did you have lunch?
I didn't know what you liked.
So I just ordered a quick meal.
Looks like people want to
treat me to lunch.
-What?
-Dr. Koh would always ask me
if I ate.
Dr. Koh would bring you lunch?
He never did that before.
He did good.
He would usually treat me to a stew lunch.
I wonder how he knew I liked stews.
Is that so?
He hates stew
because the broth makes him full quicker.
He knew your favorite foods.
Good for him. He never treated me to stew.
You came instead of Dr. Koh
to treat me to lunch?
Well…
I had to do something to help.
It didn't feel right to not do anything.
I can't do the things he did for you,
but I can bring you lunch.
I feel like I'm supporting Dr. Koh
in my own way
by taking over things he used to do.
By doing this, I hope he won't feel
that I didn't support him.
You're a good friend.
Not really.
I'm embarrassed for making you worry
when I'm your senior.
Thanks. I'll enjoy this lunch.
Dr. Koh told me once.
That I had to be strong
for Dr. Cha to get well.
I believe his words.
That's why I'm going to be strong.
So you don't have to worry about me.
Look after your friend, Dr. Koh.
He helped me a lot
when I had a tough time.
As you can see, my hands are full
caring for Dr. Cha.
I will.
-Let's cheer ourselves up with some food.
-Okay.
Enjoy.
-It looks good.
-Seung-tak has a good friend.
There are more people I need to repay.
Can a drowning person
wait until rescuers come?
-What?
-A patient can't wait
for a doctor to arrive.
I had a scary incident.
It was terrifying.
Because I was just eight at the time.
Where the heck is he right now?
All by himself…
My cooking skills are rusty.
I should've practiced cooking more.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
The young doctor isn't coming,
and I'm here yawning.
I asked Hoon-gil to wait here with me,
but he left.
What?
Honey.
You heard the news, right?
Hye-jin is applying for lecturer positions
at multiple colleges.
Ji-won said she passed the first round
for a professorship at a local college.
Gosh. She just woke up from a coma.
There's no hurry.
You'll be able to catch up.
You'll be discharged in two weeks.
So you can double your efforts
to finish your thesis next year.
Mom, I'm reading.
-Can you be quiet so I can read?
-What?
I'm just concerned how you'll feel
since your friends are getting their PhDs
and becoming professors.
I never wanted to get a PhD
or become a professor.
That's what you want.
You're concerned that I won't be a PhD.
Amazing.
Yes!
What's gotten into you?
Is this because of post-traumatic stress?
L'idée de temps:
Cours au Collège de France 1901-1902
Did you bring this book, Mom?
Where and how did you know to get this?
What? Isn't that your book?
I only brought the books
that were in your room.
Did Soo-mi bring it?
Why am I hiding? I'm a ghost.
It must be the young doctor.
He's going to remind me he did that favor.
Why isn't the young doctor back?
Where is he? I still have one more favor.
Ahn Tae-hyun.
What are you doing here?
How dare you show up here!
Honey, how have you been?
Sorry for not visiting often.
Joon-young couldn't come since he went
to watch basketball with a friend.
He said his favorite player is playing.
So he told me to say sorry to you.
He promised to come later.
I see.
That's okay.
He's at the age to like players.
He wouldn't want to see me in a coma.
It would only make him sad.
You don't have to come frequently.
You're busy.
It's surprising.
I followed this recipe and it tastes
the way you used to make them.
Joon-young also likes them
and says they're tasty.
They're selling well now.
We'll become rich in no time.
What a relief.
That's good news.
But did you write this recipe down
and keep it with you?
It's not your handwriting.
Where did he get this recipe?
Why didn't you give it to me sooner?
You could've taught me.
We could've saved our old shop then.
I didn't want you to make walnut snacks.
I was going to do it.
You…
worked day and night
to keep the shop running.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't save the shop.
I should be sorry…
for putting you through so much.
I'm so sorry.
That young man said something funny.
He said we should visit
because you were waiting for us.
That's none of his business.
I was going to thank him.
But he's on vacation today.
So that's what he said.
I'll tell him you were grateful.
Look. Our guy is here.
Dr. Ahn. It's been a while.
What? What are you plotting now?
Why did you call me here?
You need your job back, right?
-What?
-Of course.
We can't let a great doctor like Dr. Ahn
be on leave.
I heard that doctors get rusty
if they rest for too long.
Right?
A doctor suddenly pulled out
right ahead of an important operation.
You have a patient who needs a doctor.
A patient?
Who is the patient?
Cha Young-min.
-What?
-You're telling me to operate on Dr. Cha?
Is that important?
What's important is the procedure.
What do you mean?
A doctor lost a patient
in the middle of an operation.
It happens.
He was trying to save the patient,
but it was beyond his control.
Sometimes, when a doctor is about
to operate on a patient,
the patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
Isn't that right?
You'll receive
a reinstatement letter soon.
Good luck with your return surgery.
Why are you telling me this here?
Why?
Because Dr. Cha might be here?
Who cares if he is.
What can he do?
Seung-tak is no longer around.
But what is that?
This?
It's a gift
to celebrate his reinstatement.
After you finish the operation,
let's celebrate with this.
Don't make any mistakes this time.
Get the deed done swiftly. Okay?
This is a very rare bottle.
-It's very rare.
-You know your champagne.
It's Dr. Cha's apartment.
It seems Dr. Koh goes there
from time to time.
I have a hunch
that you might find him there.
I see.
If you see him,
can you tell him we need to talk?
I have something I need to ask.
Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
-How did you find this place?
-I came to get you.
Let's go while I'm being nice.
Why aren't you coming?
Just wear anything.
I'm busy because I'm an intern.
Dr. Jang told you?
Or Nurse Jung?
It was Dr. Jang.
She told me to beat you silly
and bring you back if you refused.
How did she know I have a wicked punch?
I heard everything was taken care of.
All that is left is for me to leave.
My resignation letter
is in the living room.
Could you hand it in for me?
They keep calling me. It's so annoying.
This looks all right.
Doesn't fit right.
You made my heart flutter.
Did you know that?
What?
When you ran around in your white gown.
When you jumped up in joy
after saving a patient.
You looked so charming.
My heart raced whenever I was around you.
My grandpa would've been proud of you.
That also occurred to me.
Your grandpa? That's so random.
I've never met him.
He passed away.
Yes, 20 years ago.
Before he died,
he saved a young boy's life.
That's why I'm so upset.
That boy is giving me problems.
What are you talking about?
I need to go out.
Take a nap here
before you head back to work.
Bye.
You know Dr. Cha's
operation has been delayed.
Dr. Cha is probably waiting for you.
You would know that.
There are other doctors who can do it.
They'll handle it.
Dr. Jang wants to talk to you.
She has something important to ask you.
Well, I don't think
we'll be seeing each other anymore.
I just told you my feelings. You jerk.
Maybe I should've beat him.
Are you crazy?
You want me to do what?
I don't have much time.
You're crazy. This is too reckless.
What do you take me for?
I'm a ghost that follows the principles.
You intervened and saved Seung-jo.
How is that the same?
And Hoon-gil too.
I said I won't do it.
Stop being so stubborn?
Then why did you
-come to the operating room that day?
-What?
What are you doing? Grab the clamp!
You always argue over small details.
If you had come sooner,
could we have saved the patient?
What are you saying?
I can't do an operation.
I only picked up a few tricks.
Why did you possess my body back then?
12 years ago, on that day.
And you did it several
more times to save patients.
You're a doctor. A heart surgeon.
A very skilled surgeon, too.
You owe me a big favor.
It doesn't work that way.
Isn't it the other way around?
I'm having surgery soon.
When they wheel me in,
I'll die.
If you're not careful,
you can die before your body
enters the operating unit.
This time,
please get involved
in saving my life.
Doctor.
Seung-tak.
Mom.
I worried you, I think.
Of course, you did.
I was so worried about you
these past few days.
That's why I came.
I didn't want to hurt you.
Let's have a look at you.
Are you eating three meals a day?
I hardly ever skip a meal, Mom.
You know I like fine dining.
Why won't you come home?
Where are you staying?
A secret hideout.
Don't tell grandpa.
Grandpa is worried a lot.
You know how he never shows his emotions
but he cares for and loves you a lot.
I know.
You had a difficult time mediating
between Grandpa and me,
taking my side
as he rarely showed his emotions.
I didn't like that.
But I caused another situation.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
I'm hungry.
Can we order first?
Don't be too surprised.
Don't cry a lot.
I'm okay.
I'll be fine.
I'm not doing this to die.
I'm trying to live.
And I'll go to you then.
-Yes?
-We need you at ER.
Okay.
What is he trying to do?
He really is reckless.
I don't care anymore.
The food is great.
Let's come here again, Seung-tak.
Mom.
I recall that one time…
I think you were about ten.
You came downstairs with a big smile.
"Mom, I'm hungry. Where's breakfast?"
After saying that…
"it's so good. Make this again for me."
I remember that time.
It was that day
when you began
to pretend everything was okay.
You would laugh louder and acted silly.
You made an effort
to act like a spoiled rich kid.
I know it was because of me.
You felt guilty
for taking away dad from me.
So you were trying to cheer me up.
You gave me a lot of happy moments
and sad moments.
You were forcing yourself
to act like that.
I know you're not interested
in managing the hospital.
But you worked at the hospital
because you think
that I took this position
in place of your father
and want to pass this down to you.
But Seung-tak.
You don't have to force yourself.
Don't do it for my sake.
Pursue what you want.
Live the life you want.
That'll make me happier.
We don't have any patients
with brain injuries.
There must have been a mistake.
Yes, Nurse Jung?
What?
What happened?
I think it's aspiration.
-We need a portable X-ray now.
-Okay.
This is VIP room 9101.
Please bring a portable chest AP fast.
I came right away after getting your call.
The bed was flat when I got here.
I thought that was strange,
so I raised the height.
Why was it like that?
I had the height raised.
MISSED CALL
MOM, JAE-WON
JAE-WON
Hey, answer your phone!
Dr. Cha's condition is critical!
What's wrong? How is Dr. Cha?
Why weren't you answering?
Mister, take me to Eunsang University
Medical Center. Please hurry.
How could you?
Wasn't the chairman alone enough?
Now you're trying to kill Dr. Cha?
-What are you talking about?
-What is it now?
You're worried
that Dr. Cha's operation will work?
If he wakes up,
the truth will come out, right?
But how could you do this?
You thought I didn't know?
Do you know why I stayed silent
despite knowing the truth?
I was afraid you'd try to harm Dr. Cha.
Because I'm trying to save him.
To wake him up from his coma.
Listen carefully.
If anything happens to Young-min,
I'm going to come after you.
Tell my half-brother this.
If he tries something like this again,
I'll follow him to the depths of hell
and end him.
Understand?
You came? Seung-tak.
Do I have to risk my life to meet you?
What's that?
I recognize that jacket.
Are you worried I might be dead?
As you can see.
Are you crazy?
How could you do that to yourself?
You could've died.
You gave me no choice. Without you around,
there was nothing I could do here.
And that tone again. You punk.
That day,
we couldn't have saved him
even if everything went right.
You didn't know it
but the aorta burst
before you opened his chest.
It was too late. It's not your fault. So…
That could have been you.
I could have killed you.
What if that happens again? You would die.
I'm a bad judge of character.
I thought I could make you
a skilled surgeon by mentoring you.
I guess not.
After leaving that day,
was that all you thought about?
Instead of thinking about improving
your skill to save lives,
you were worried
that it would happen again?
Doctor.
Doctors don't always leave
an operating room with a big smile.
You think they'll say,
"The operation was a success.
Don't worry."
Is that what you think?
Doctors aren't gods.
Because they aren't,
they just try their best.
Hoping that they'll save
more lives than lose them.
That's the only hope they have.
Gosh.
Will you do this again?
Become miserable with grief
and hole yourself inside and cry?
Quit being a doctor
if that's how you'll act.
You don't have the qualification
to be a doctor.
The hand mask.
The one I gave you. Give it back.
Who says I'll be a doctor?
You don't get to judge me.
You entered my body and made a big mess.
You won't remember any of this
when you wake up.
Why did this have to happen to me?
What did I do to deserve this?
You regret it?
Or…
are you sick of me?
You said you'd hang in there
till I wake up.
Yes, I'm sick and tired.
I'm sick of the hospital,
the patients and being possessed.
I'm tired of trying to figure out what
to do in life and what career to pursue.
It annoys the hell out of me!
I want this to end.
I just want to live a normal life.
He came when he heard the news
and you risked your life
to bring him back.
But still,
why did you have to talk tough?
Why couldn't you be supportive?
You told me to make sure
he didn't do that again.
Since when did you ever listen to me?
That day…
Why did you possess my body 12 years ago?
I already told you.
Because you had the same look
-he had on his face.
-Stop!
This is a hospital and we're doctors.
If we give up on our patients…
I was moved by your expression.
Are you both nine-tailed foxes or what?
I know, right?
That's why I'm going to
place my bet on him.
He's contemplating.
I put some sense into him.
So that's your takeaway?
You're totally infatuated.
Our timing and angle
were perfectly timed, right?
This isn't an operation.
You're lucky the nurse found you quickly.
I can't predict what'll happen from here.
It's my first time, too.
My principle
is to avoid possessing evil men.
I possessed a piece of trash.
Wipe that smile off your face.
What bad luck!
Where are you right now?
I thought all that was left
was his surgery, after which he'd wake up.
What now, Doctor?
It's my fault.
If I hadn't left his side…
I'm to blame.
Don't skip your meals!
You better keep your phone
on at all times.
Dr. Cha didn't advance to sepsis.
He had aspiration pneumonia.
After two weeks of antibiotics,
they'll have to wait and see.
His operation has been delayed
until he recovers.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
But Se-jin,
I'm a doctor.
I see a critical patient before me
and I can't do anything.
That drives me crazy.
I had to try something.
I want to save his life.
I'm not going to let him die.
I'll save him no matter what.
And send him back to you.
I promise.
Hey, Seung-tak. Do something.
Otherwise, the patient will die.
Doctors aren't gods.
Because they aren't,
they just
try their best.
Hoping that they'll save more lives
than lose them.
That's the only hope they have.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
JAE-WON
What? Did something happen to Dr. Cha?
Yes.
They're transferring him
to another hospital.
What?
Dr. Jang wants to transfer Dr. Cha
to another hospital
so that he can get surgery.
I think what happened yesterday
shocked her.
Dr. Ban isn't in his office right now.
-Please discuss this with him.
-No, that's not necessary.
I've waited long enough.
I can't entrust him here.
Please find a suitable hospital
where he can be moved.
But Doctor…
Do I have to find one myself?
Does Dr. Cha also know?
What? Who?
What are you saying?
What if Dr. Cha knows?
What's wrong?
Did it get caught in your throat?
Oh my, Ji-min.
-Son! What's wrong?
-What's wrong with him?
Help. I need help.
I think you need to call a paramedic.
-Call for help.
-Please call 911.
We're at an intersection.
What's wrong, Ji-min?
Please help my son. Please help.
Wake up, Ji-min. Oh my gosh.
Please help. Wake up, Ji-min.
Dr. Ban?
Does your son have asthma?
Yes, he does.
A peanut got lodged in his throat.
But we just got it out.
He seemed okay
but after taking a few steps,
he wheezed and suddenly collapsed.
That irritated his throat.
His airway has been sealed.
What should I do?
Should I take him to a hospital?
He won't last till then.
Hold on.
PHARMACY
Stay right here.
I'll just take five minutes.
Seung-tak, stay by this boy's side.
Don't let Dr. Ban go anywhere.
It's you?
What? Where am I?
What are you saying?
Seung-tak!
PHARMACY
What just happened here?
Move it.
What is this?
-Take off your scarf. I need it.
-Okay.
Seung-tak, turn on your flashlight.
-Point it here.
-Okay.
Can he use that?
Are you okay, Ji-min?
It's Mommy. Are you okay, Ji-min?
-He's awake.
-He's alive.
What a relief.
911 RESCUE
What's the situation?
The boy has asthma.
He had an asthma attack
after a piece of food got lodged
in his throat.
I've cleared his airway
so take him to a hospital.
Give him steroid treatment.
Are you a doctor?
How did you know that?
What's happening?
Why am I blacking out?
What's happening to my mind?
Excuse me. Who are you?
I've completed the discharge paperwork.
When will we move him?
Hold on a sec.
Who are you?
What is this? What are you doing here?
I heard you're transferring him.
Did Dr. Cha agree to this?
Stop talking nonsense. Get out of here.
Did you not hear me?
You must not know yet.
Or…
are you hiding it from me?
What are you talking about?
It was hard to keep up with you.
I think Dr. Ban is getting old.
How could he have no leg strength?
I wonder how he does surgery for hours?
Were you a doctor?
Why didn't you go inside
after you came all the way
to the hospital?
You made me wait outside in the cold.
It's freezing.
Is your last name "Oh?"
Since we're here,
how about we go buy some spring suits?
Could we visit a men's store nearby?
Could you buy me a few suits?
You have a granddaughter who's my age?
Of course.
She's the prettiest person in the world.
Soo-jung.
-How are the boy's vitals?
-Dr. Ban.
What are you doing in there?
I don’t know.
I'm wondering how I got here, too.
It's just like that day.
That day, 20 years ago.
Like that day.
Was it you?
Did you save my life 20 years ago?
That little boy
is all grown up now.
Seung-tak.
Time flies, doesn't it?
-Doctor, we have the ambulance ready.
-Okay.
Take your hands off of the patient.
-Dr. Koh.
-You want to transfer to another hospital?
What took you so long, you punk?
It was such a long wait.
You're still sticking
with your judgment of me?
-Of course.
-Okay. Then stay here.
With me.
Right here.
20 YEARS AGO
Cut.
Dr. Oh, you're amazing.
You were perfect.
Good job.
By the way…
Dr. Ban.
-Yes?
-When you have time,
come observe my surgeries.
You'll improve your skills
by learning the areas
in which you lack expertise.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'll try my best to learn.
Are you not feeling well?
No.
I'll stay by the patient's side.
So please turn in.
-You didn't go home yesterday either.
-No.
I have to stay until the patient wakes up.
My little princess.
Yes.
I'll go home after I see a patient.
What?
You…
You're going to stay up and wait?
Of course. I bought you a chocolate cake
that you like, Princess.
Do an ABGA an hour later.
Call me if anything looks abnormal.
Okay.
Hello? We don't have a surgeon available.
Could you take him to another hospital?
What kind of patient?
Hold on.
A patient with a descending
aortic aneurysm and impending rupture.
Even if his vitals are stable,
he might not make it
because it's an impending rupture case.
I'll go down.
Accept the patient.
And call anesthesiology. Get a room ready.
Okay, Doctor.
Send him our way.
Do you believe in God?
Even if you don’t believe
in a higher power, there'll come a time
when you'll pray to God
in a desperate situation.
And in those times,
we, doctors, will handle it.
So how can a doctor ignore a patient?
You can't rely on a spirit to help.
Everything depends on us
since we're the ones alive.
It's gotten late.
She cried and tried to stay awake
until you got home.
She's asleep now, Father.
I'm late again.
Grandpa broke his promise again.
Doctor.
Oh, dear.
He's done another night shift.
Doctor.
Are you asleep?
Did you check the test results
for the patient with chest pain?
Not yet.
Be on your toes, punk.
What if he has a myocardial infarction?
-That's careless.
-Okay.
Thanks for waiting for me.
Let's go now.
This way.
Lift him.
One, two, three.
Get the EKG attached. Hurry.
Pump the Ambu bag.
This way.
Hurry. Lift him. One, two, three.
Seung-tak.
Seung-tak, wake up.
Attach the EKG.
Hong-joo, intubation.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
The moment you call out for God.
And the moment you'd wish
a ghost could come and help
if God is too busy.
Dad?
If the living could fix everything…
Only if they could…
Do you know what time it is?
You're late on your first day.
Don't try anything against Dr. Cha.
He's my mentor now.
-Master.
-Yes.
I want to save these patients.
It's a cardiac arrest. Start CPR.
To master this,
go back to learning the basics.
No, not like that. Work on it all night.
Did you have lunch?
-This is strange.
-Something is strange.
Time to get even.
Watch out, Dr. Koh!
No…
Subtitle translation by: Eric Park
Seung-tak, put on your life jacket.
Hurry. Wear it.
Dad! There's a big--
Seung-tak!
Doctor, his blood oxygen levels
are falling.
What?
What can we do?
We need to use ECMO.
But Dr. Oh isn't here.
Oh, no.
Hey, Seung-tak! Where are you going?
What was the cause of death?
Patient went into shock after losing blood
due to a tear in his aorta.
Was there a medical mistake?
We can't blame Dr. Koh because
the patient's blood pressure plummeted
while they were waiting for Dr. Jung.
Something had to be done to prevent it.
When they opened up the patient,
his aorta had burst already.
It's not a mistake then?
A resident would have
applied pressure using their hands
while waiting for the surgeon.
In his haste to save the patient,
Dr. Koh tried to operate…
Moreover, the patient suffered
from high blood pressure.
So his aorta was larger
than the average person's.
Which means his aorta was weakened.
Anyway, under the circumstances,
Dr. Koh did the best he could do.
Are you reading from a script?
I get the sense that you're covering
for each other.
Is that what you'll tell the family?
Of course, we must take responsibility
for what happened to the patient.
We failed to fulfill our moral obligation.
It's hard to call it a malpractice case.
We'll see about that after a review.
But what are you doing here, Dr. Ban?
-What?
-Don't you have an operation to do?
The operation will be canceled?
What do you mean?
It's not a delay?
It'll be canceled entirely?
We're dealing with a problem right now.
The senior doctors are all preoccupied.
I don't know what it could be
but what about his surgery?
Then when will it be rescheduled?
It's hard to tell.
Where is Dr. Koh right now?
Well, you see…
The problem involves Dr. Koh.
Seung-tak!
Stop right there.
You can't leave like this.
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Seung-tak!
Why that punk…
I told you so.
I warned you to be careful.
I was kicked out of his body
during surgery.
I tried to enter his body, but I couldn't.
Why did it have to happen at that moment?
Even if it didn't,
you would've lost the patient.
You should've stopped
when you felt something was wrong.
You had to enter his body
to try to save someone.
It wasn't me this time.
I saw the desperation in his eyes.
It must have been the same look you had.
If he was that desperate,
he should've done it himself.
That would've been
the wiser career choice.
When he returns,
make sure he doesn't do that again.
I don't know if he'll come back.
I realized something
after experiencing that.
I could never operate on a patient.
I might not be able to save lives,
but I don't want to let anyone die.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have entered his body.
Then he wouldn't have lost a patient
he was operating on.
If you knew it was a mistake,
why are you wringing your hands
and blaming yourself?
You need to think of a way to fix this.
Both of you are so pathetic.
I should punch you in the throat.
I'm off.
-Is that Seung-tak? What did he say?
-The number you have dialed…
-Where is he?
-…cannot be reached.
Why did he turn off his phone?
Come on. Answer your phone.
Why did Seung-tak act so recklessly?
He thinks he can save every patient.
It got to his head.
He only has himself to blame for this.
He was overconfident.
How can you criticize him?
If it were you, you wouldn't
have been able to do anything.
Seung-tak tried his best
to save the patient.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Please leave a message…
-Intern Oh.
-…after the tone.
-Did you get a hold of him?
-Isn't he answering?
His phone is turned off.
He's not checking his messages either.
Didn't expect this reaction.
After running out of surgery,
he went AWOL.
It's a big shock, of course.
I knew he would
get in big trouble someday.
-He was getting too cocky.
-I'll punch you in the throat.
Should a doctor act like a bystander
and not do anything?
Doctors are supposed to intervene
to save lives.
Patients aren't something
we have to avoid.
-Have you checked the hotels?
-We've called all the hotels in the city.
He left his car in the parking lot.
So that makes it harder.
He must have not gone home then.
He's not home yet?
I couldn't reach him on his phone,
so I came to find him.
It must've been a shock.
The whole family is worried,
so he should've gone home.
Don't worry too much.
He needs time to process it.
Seung-tak is stronger
than you think he is.
I'm sure
he'll be back soon.
-Thanks.
-Don't worry about the operation.
I'll make sure his family is treated well.
You know what I do.
This is my job.
Seung-won.
Your uncle. Seung-tak's dad.
He died while trying to save Seung-tak.
-You know that, don't you?
-Of course.
In a boating accident 20 years ago.
And the shock he had from that day
had made him this way.
You remember that, right?
He used to be a cheerful
and very thoughtful child.
But after the accident,
he had totally changed for years.
I'm afraid, Seung-won.
I'm worried he'll go far away again.
Why did you encourage him
to become a doctor if he was so precious?
You know what goes on at a hospital.
You didn't foresee that
this was bound to happen?
It would have been nice
if you had made him quit the hospital.
I clearly gave you a chance.
I understand the situation.
But Dr. Cha needs this surgery.
If Dr. Koh can't do it,
there are other surgeons, right?
But Seung-tak has to be present
during Dr. Cha's operation.
Who said so?
Did Dr. Ban say that?
Actually, I agree with him.
We're talking about Dr. Cha's operation.
So I believe our genius surgeon,
Seung-tak needs to handle it.
I know Dr. Koh has exceptional skills.
But he's just a first-year resident.
He's not just any first-year.
He's as good as a star doctor.
It wasn't always like this,
but he became this good since he operated
on Dr. Cha's tamponade case.
He's been doing complicated surgeries
by himself since.
It's hard to blame the lead surgeon
for the patient's death.
It wasn't that the doctor showed neglect
while the patient was fading.
If we were to suspend the doctor over this
when he tried his best,
the whole medical community
will be in uproar including our hospital.
You make it sound like I'm blaming him.
Don't try so hard.
Just follow the procedures
and medical report.
The hospital will cover all funeral costs.
And offer a hefty compensation
to the family.
Yes, sir.
What about the suspension of Dr. Koh
that you asked me to pursue?
What's the point? It's over for him.
It's a hassle and distraction.
Forget about it.
Seung-tak won't return to the hospital.
Right. He can't.
Process his resignation letter
when he submits it later.
I feel a chill down my spine.
You must be here, Dr. Cha.
You can tell?
Go ahead and jump out the window.
Before I push you myself.
Were you plotting again
to get rid of Seung-tak?
Seung-tak suffered a tragic loss.
So you think he'll implode
without your prodding?
It's not me.
Dr. Cha, you ruined Seung-tak's life.
-What?
-I didn't do anything to him.
You're the one who clipped his wings.
Why did you go that far?
What did you do to him
when he's emotionally unstable?
Let's look at the facts now.
I didn't put you in your predicament.
You were just unlucky.
Stop blaming others.
I feel sorry for Seung-tak.
Why did you do all those surgeries
while inside his body?
You've been using my cousin
so that you could survive.
Now look what you've done.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
Do you feel better now?
No.
It pains me.
I didn't know about his personal tragedy.
I'm worried.
He's got a weak constitution
and it could get weaker.
I'm frustrated.
I want to talk to him but I can't leave.
Why am I talking to myself?
But you're wrong about one thing.
Nobody clipped his wings.
His life isn't over.
You don't know him.
You don't know him like I do.
I was told you said
that Dr. Koh had to be present
in Cha's surgery.
So you did.
So you have. Well, you see…
Even though he's just a first-year
resident, he's our best surgeon.
You haven't seen him operate
so it could be hard to believe.
Dr. Ban, have you seen
Dr. Koh operate then?
Of course, I saw it.
Many times.
This isn't a matter
that should be publicized.
The first time Dr. Koh performed surgery,
our department was shocked.
It felt as if we were all possessed
seeing him operate like that.
If it just happened once,
I could write it off.
But he kept amazing us again and again.
His skills were just amazing.
It's on a supernatural level.
A total mystery.
Sometimes I think
he really is possessed by a spirit
and that he was gifted
by the heavens with his talent.
Did Dr. Koh tell you he would handle
Dr. Cha's surgery?
Of course.
With tears welled up in his eyes,
he pleaded to do it.
Dr. Koh is very determined
to save Dr. Cha.
And Dr. Koh came up
with the procedure himself.
So please wait a little more.
I think that's prudent.
If we can't wait any longer,
I can do the operation. I'll manage.
But I'd like our best doctor
to operate on Dr. Cha.
I am very fond of Dr. Cha.
He's a good friend.
-But you're asking me to wait?
-What?
I can't wait much longer.
If Dr. Koh is crucial to this surgery,
then please bring him back soon.
Otherwise, I'll ask someone else.
Dr. Koh…
will return.
He's a mysterious person and hard to read.
I do know one thing about him.
He cares about saving lives.
He's taken bold stances
that have humbled us.
Dr. Cha.
Are you here by any chance?
Can you hear me?
If you can, please give me a sign.
I'm sorry for intruding.
I didn't barge in. I knocked first.
It's all right.
You're Dr. Oh Soo-jung, right?
You know me?
I saw you working in ER.
You're friends with Dr. Koh.
I was about to go down to talk to you.
Have you talked to Dr. Koh?
No, not yet.
I thought he'd answer your calls.
What brings you here?
Right. I almost forgot.
Did you have lunch?
I didn't know what you liked.
So I just ordered a quick meal.
Looks like people want to
treat me to lunch.
-What?
-Dr. Koh would always ask me
if I ate.
Dr. Koh would bring you lunch?
He never did that before.
He did good.
He would usually treat me to a stew lunch.
I wonder how he knew I liked stews.
Is that so?
He hates stew
because the broth makes him full quicker.
He knew your favorite foods.
Good for him. He never treated me to stew.
You came instead of Dr. Koh
to treat me to lunch?
Well…
I had to do something to help.
It didn't feel right to not do anything.
I can't do the things he did for you,
but I can bring you lunch.
I feel like I'm supporting Dr. Koh
in my own way
by taking over things he used to do.
By doing this, I hope he won't feel
that I didn't support him.
You're a good friend.
Not really.
I'm embarrassed for making you worry
when I'm your senior.
Thanks. I'll enjoy this lunch.
Dr. Koh told me once.
That I had to be strong
for Dr. Cha to get well.
I believe his words.
That's why I'm going to be strong.
So you don't have to worry about me.
Look after your friend, Dr. Koh.
He helped me a lot
when I had a tough time.
As you can see, my hands are full
caring for Dr. Cha.
I will.
-Let's cheer ourselves up with some food.
-Okay.
Enjoy.
-It looks good.
-Seung-tak has a good friend.
There are more people I need to repay.
Can a drowning person
wait until rescuers come?
-What?
-A patient can't wait
for a doctor to arrive.
I had a scary incident.
It was terrifying.
Because I was just eight at the time.
Where the heck is he right now?
All by himself…
My cooking skills are rusty.
I should've practiced cooking more.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
The young doctor isn't coming,
and I'm here yawning.
I asked Hoon-gil to wait here with me,
but he left.
What?
Honey.
You heard the news, right?
Hye-jin is applying for lecturer positions
at multiple colleges.
Ji-won said she passed the first round
for a professorship at a local college.
Gosh. She just woke up from a coma.
There's no hurry.
You'll be able to catch up.
You'll be discharged in two weeks.
So you can double your efforts
to finish your thesis next year.
Mom, I'm reading.
-Can you be quiet so I can read?
-What?
I'm just concerned how you'll feel
since your friends are getting their PhDs
and becoming professors.
I never wanted to get a PhD
or become a professor.
That's what you want.
You're concerned that I won't be a PhD.
Amazing.
Yes!
What's gotten into you?
Is this because of post-traumatic stress?
L'idée de temps:
Cours au Collège de France 1901-1902
Did you bring this book, Mom?
Where and how did you know to get this?
What? Isn't that your book?
I only brought the books
that were in your room.
Did Soo-mi bring it?
Why am I hiding? I'm a ghost.
It must be the young doctor.
He's going to remind me he did that favor.
Why isn't the young doctor back?
Where is he? I still have one more favor.
Ahn Tae-hyun.
What are you doing here?
How dare you show up here!
Honey, how have you been?
Sorry for not visiting often.
Joon-young couldn't come since he went
to watch basketball with a friend.
He said his favorite player is playing.
So he told me to say sorry to you.
He promised to come later.
I see.
That's okay.
He's at the age to like players.
He wouldn't want to see me in a coma.
It would only make him sad.
You don't have to come frequently.
You're busy.
It's surprising.
I followed this recipe and it tastes
the way you used to make them.
Joon-young also likes them
and says they're tasty.
They're selling well now.
We'll become rich in no time.
What a relief.
That's good news.
But did you write this recipe down
and keep it with you?
It's not your handwriting.
Where did he get this recipe?
Why didn't you give it to me sooner?
You could've taught me.
We could've saved our old shop then.
I didn't want you to make walnut snacks.
I was going to do it.
You…
worked day and night
to keep the shop running.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't save the shop.
I should be sorry…
for putting you through so much.
I'm so sorry.
That young man said something funny.
He said we should visit
because you were waiting for us.
That's none of his business.
I was going to thank him.
But he's on vacation today.
So that's what he said.
I'll tell him you were grateful.
Look. Our guy is here.
Dr. Ahn. It's been a while.
What? What are you plotting now?
Why did you call me here?
You need your job back, right?
-What?
-Of course.
We can't let a great doctor like Dr. Ahn
be on leave.
I heard that doctors get rusty
if they rest for too long.
Right?
A doctor suddenly pulled out
right ahead of an important operation.
You have a patient who needs a doctor.
A patient?
Who is the patient?
Cha Young-min.
-What?
-You're telling me to operate on Dr. Cha?
Is that important?
What's important is the procedure.
What do you mean?
A doctor lost a patient
in the middle of an operation.
It happens.
He was trying to save the patient,
but it was beyond his control.
Sometimes, when a doctor is about
to operate on a patient,
the patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
Isn't that right?
You'll receive
a reinstatement letter soon.
Good luck with your return surgery.
Why are you telling me this here?
Why?
Because Dr. Cha might be here?
Who cares if he is.
What can he do?
Seung-tak is no longer around.
But what is that?
This?
It's a gift
to celebrate his reinstatement.
After you finish the operation,
let's celebrate with this.
Don't make any mistakes this time.
Get the deed done swiftly. Okay?
This is a very rare bottle.
-It's very rare.
-You know your champagne.
It's Dr. Cha's apartment.
It seems Dr. Koh goes there
from time to time.
I have a hunch
that you might find him there.
I see.
If you see him,
can you tell him we need to talk?
I have something I need to ask.
Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
-How did you find this place?
-I came to get you.
Let's go while I'm being nice.
Why aren't you coming?
Just wear anything.
I'm busy because I'm an intern.
Dr. Jang told you?
Or Nurse Jung?
It was Dr. Jang.
She told me to beat you silly
and bring you back if you refused.
How did she know I have a wicked punch?
I heard everything was taken care of.
All that is left is for me to leave.
My resignation letter
is in the living room.
Could you hand it in for me?
They keep calling me. It's so annoying.
This looks all right.
Doesn't fit right.
You made my heart flutter.
Did you know that?
What?
When you ran around in your white gown.
When you jumped up in joy
after saving a patient.
You looked so charming.
My heart raced whenever I was around you.
My grandpa would've been proud of you.
That also occurred to me.
Your grandpa? That's so random.
I've never met him.
He passed away.
Yes, 20 years ago.
Before he died,
he saved a young boy's life.
That's why I'm so upset.
That boy is giving me problems.
What are you talking about?
I need to go out.
Take a nap here
before you head back to work.
Bye.
You know Dr. Cha's
operation has been delayed.
Dr. Cha is probably waiting for you.
You would know that.
There are other doctors who can do it.
They'll handle it.
Dr. Jang wants to talk to you.
She has something important to ask you.
Well, I don't think
we'll be seeing each other anymore.
I just told you my feelings. You jerk.
Maybe I should've beat him.
Are you crazy?
You want me to do what?
I don't have much time.
You're crazy. This is too reckless.
What do you take me for?
I'm a ghost that follows the principles.
You intervened and saved Seung-jo.
How is that the same?
And Hoon-gil too.
I said I won't do it.
Stop being so stubborn?
Then why did you
-come to the operating room that day?
-What?
What are you doing? Grab the clamp!
You always argue over small details.
If you had come sooner,
could we have saved the patient?
What are you saying?
I can't do an operation.
I only picked up a few tricks.
Why did you possess my body back then?
12 years ago, on that day.
And you did it several
more times to save patients.
You're a doctor. A heart surgeon.
A very skilled surgeon, too.
You owe me a big favor.
It doesn't work that way.
Isn't it the other way around?
I'm having surgery soon.
When they wheel me in,
I'll die.
If you're not careful,
you can die before your body
enters the operating unit.
This time,
please get involved
in saving my life.
Doctor.
Seung-tak.
Mom.
I worried you, I think.
Of course, you did.
I was so worried about you
these past few days.
That's why I came.
I didn't want to hurt you.
Let's have a look at you.
Are you eating three meals a day?
I hardly ever skip a meal, Mom.
You know I like fine dining.
Why won't you come home?
Where are you staying?
A secret hideout.
Don't tell grandpa.
Grandpa is worried a lot.
You know how he never shows his emotions
but he cares for and loves you a lot.
I know.
You had a difficult time mediating
between Grandpa and me,
taking my side
as he rarely showed his emotions.
I didn't like that.
But I caused another situation.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
I'm hungry.
Can we order first?
Don't be too surprised.
Don't cry a lot.
I'm okay.
I'll be fine.
I'm not doing this to die.
I'm trying to live.
And I'll go to you then.
-Yes?
-We need you at ER.
Okay.
What is he trying to do?
He really is reckless.
I don't care anymore.
The food is great.
Let's come here again, Seung-tak.
Mom.
I recall that one time…
I think you were about ten.
You came downstairs with a big smile.
"Mom, I'm hungry. Where's breakfast?"
After saying that…
"it's so good. Make this again for me."
I remember that time.
It was that day
when you began
to pretend everything was okay.
You would laugh louder and acted silly.
You made an effort
to act like a spoiled rich kid.
I know it was because of me.
You felt guilty
for taking away dad from me.
So you were trying to cheer me up.
You gave me a lot of happy moments
and sad moments.
You were forcing yourself
to act like that.
I know you're not interested
in managing the hospital.
But you worked at the hospital
because you think
that I took this position
in place of your father
and want to pass this down to you.
But Seung-tak.
You don't have to force yourself.
Don't do it for my sake.
Pursue what you want.
Live the life you want.
That'll make me happier.
We don't have any patients
with brain injuries.
There must have been a mistake.
Yes, Nurse Jung?
What?
What happened?
I think it's aspiration.
-We need a portable X-ray now.
-Okay.
This is VIP room 9101.
Please bring a portable chest AP fast.
I came right away after getting your call.
The bed was flat when I got here.
I thought that was strange,
so I raised the height.
Why was it like that?
I had the height raised.
MISSED CALL
MOM, JAE-WON
JAE-WON
Hey, answer your phone!
Dr. Cha's condition is critical!
What's wrong? How is Dr. Cha?
Why weren't you answering?
Mister, take me to Eunsang University
Medical Center. Please hurry.
How could you?
Wasn't the chairman alone enough?
Now you're trying to kill Dr. Cha?
-What are you talking about?
-What is it now?
You're worried
that Dr. Cha's operation will work?
If he wakes up,
the truth will come out, right?
But how could you do this?
You thought I didn't know?
Do you know why I stayed silent
despite knowing the truth?
I was afraid you'd try to harm Dr. Cha.
Because I'm trying to save him.
To wake him up from his coma.
Listen carefully.
If anything happens to Young-min,
I'm going to come after you.
Tell my half-brother this.
If he tries something like this again,
I'll follow him to the depths of hell
and end him.
Understand?
You came? Seung-tak.
Do I have to risk my life to meet you?
What's that?
I recognize that jacket.
Are you worried I might be dead?
As you can see.
Are you crazy?
How could you do that to yourself?
You could've died.
You gave me no choice. Without you around,
there was nothing I could do here.
And that tone again. You punk.
That day,
we couldn't have saved him
even if everything went right.
You didn't know it
but the aorta burst
before you opened his chest.
It was too late. It's not your fault. So…
That could have been you.
I could have killed you.
What if that happens again? You would die.
I'm a bad judge of character.
I thought I could make you
a skilled surgeon by mentoring you.
I guess not.
After leaving that day,
was that all you thought about?
Instead of thinking about improving
your skill to save lives,
you were worried
that it would happen again?
Doctor.
Doctors don't always leave
an operating room with a big smile.
You think they'll say,
"The operation was a success.
Don't worry."
Is that what you think?
Doctors aren't gods.
Because they aren't,
they just try their best.
Hoping that they'll save
more lives than lose them.
That's the only hope they have.
Gosh.
Will you do this again?
Become miserable with grief
and hole yourself inside and cry?
Quit being a doctor
if that's how you'll act.
You don't have the qualification
to be a doctor.
The hand mask.
The one I gave you. Give it back.
Who says I'll be a doctor?
You don't get to judge me.
You entered my body and made a big mess.
You won't remember any of this
when you wake up.
Why did this have to happen to me?
What did I do to deserve this?
You regret it?
Or…
are you sick of me?
You said you'd hang in there
till I wake up.
Yes, I'm sick and tired.
I'm sick of the hospital,
the patients and being possessed.
I'm tired of trying to figure out what
to do in life and what career to pursue.
It annoys the hell out of me!
I want this to end.
I just want to live a normal life.
He came when he heard the news
and you risked your life
to bring him back.
But still,
why did you have to talk tough?
Why couldn't you be supportive?
You told me to make sure
he didn't do that again.
Since when did you ever listen to me?
That day…
Why did you possess my body 12 years ago?
I already told you.
Because you had the same look
-he had on his face.
-Stop!
This is a hospital and we're doctors.
If we give up on our patients…
I was moved by your expression.
Are you both nine-tailed foxes or what?
I know, right?
That's why I'm going to
place my bet on him.
He's contemplating.
I put some sense into him.
So that's your takeaway?
You're totally infatuated.
Our timing and angle
were perfectly timed, right?
This isn't an operation.
You're lucky the nurse found you quickly.
I can't predict what'll happen from here.
It's my first time, too.
My principle
is to avoid possessing evil men.
I possessed a piece of trash.
Wipe that smile off your face.
What bad luck!
Where are you right now?
I thought all that was left
was his surgery, after which he'd wake up.
What now, Doctor?
It's my fault.
If I hadn't left his side…
I'm to blame.
Don't skip your meals!
You better keep your phone
on at all times.
Dr. Cha didn't advance to sepsis.
He had aspiration pneumonia.
After two weeks of antibiotics,
they'll have to wait and see.
His operation has been delayed
until he recovers.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
But Se-jin,
I'm a doctor.
I see a critical patient before me
and I can't do anything.
That drives me crazy.
I had to try something.
I want to save his life.
I'm not going to let him die.
I'll save him no matter what.
And send him back to you.
I promise.
Hey, Seung-tak. Do something.
Otherwise, the patient will die.
Doctors aren't gods.
Because they aren't,
they just
try their best.
Hoping that they'll save more lives
than lose them.
That's the only hope they have.
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
JAE-WON
What? Did something happen to Dr. Cha?
Yes.
They're transferring him
to another hospital.
What?
Dr. Jang wants to transfer Dr. Cha
to another hospital
so that he can get surgery.
I think what happened yesterday
shocked her.
Dr. Ban isn't in his office right now.
-Please discuss this with him.
-No, that's not necessary.
I've waited long enough.
I can't entrust him here.
Please find a suitable hospital
where he can be moved.
But Doctor…
Do I have to find one myself?
Does Dr. Cha also know?
What? Who?
What are you saying?
What if Dr. Cha knows?
What's wrong?
Did it get caught in your throat?
Oh my, Ji-min.
-Son! What's wrong?
-What's wrong with him?
Help. I need help.
I think you need to call a paramedic.
-Call for help.
-Please call 911.
We're at an intersection.
What's wrong, Ji-min?
Please help my son. Please help.
Wake up, Ji-min. Oh my gosh.
Please help. Wake up, Ji-min.
Dr. Ban?
Does your son have asthma?
Yes, he does.
A peanut got lodged in his throat.
But we just got it out.
He seemed okay
but after taking a few steps,
he wheezed and suddenly collapsed.
That irritated his throat.
His airway has been sealed.
What should I do?
Should I take him to a hospital?
He won't last till then.
Hold on.
PHARMACY
Stay right here.
I'll just take five minutes.
Seung-tak, stay by this boy's side.
Don't let Dr. Ban go anywhere.
It's you?
What? Where am I?
What are you saying?
Seung-tak!
PHARMACY
What just happened here?
Move it.
What is this?
-Take off your scarf. I need it.
-Okay.
Seung-tak, turn on your flashlight.
-Point it here.
-Okay.
Can he use that?
Are you okay, Ji-min?
It's Mommy. Are you okay, Ji-min?
-He's awake.
-He's alive.
What a relief.
911 RESCUE
What's the situation?
The boy has asthma.
He had an asthma attack
after a piece of food got lodged
in his throat.
I've cleared his airway
so take him to a hospital.
Give him steroid treatment.
Are you a doctor?
How did you know that?
What's happening?
Why am I blacking out?
What's happening to my mind?
Excuse me. Who are you?
I've completed the discharge paperwork.
When will we move him?
Hold on a sec.
Who are you?
What is this? What are you doing here?
I heard you're transferring him.
Did Dr. Cha agree to this?
Stop talking nonsense. Get out of here.
Did you not hear me?
You must not know yet.
Or…
are you hiding it from me?
What are you talking about?
It was hard to keep up with you.
I think Dr. Ban is getting old.
How could he have no leg strength?
I wonder how he does surgery for hours?
Were you a doctor?
Why didn't you go inside
after you came all the way
to the hospital?
You made me wait outside in the cold.
It's freezing.
Is your last name "Oh?"
Since we're here,
how about we go buy some spring suits?
Could we visit a men's store nearby?
Could you buy me a few suits?
You have a granddaughter who's my age?
Of course.
She's the prettiest person in the world.
Soo-jung.
-How are the boy's vitals?
-Dr. Ban.
What are you doing in there?
I don’t know.
I'm wondering how I got here, too.
It's just like that day.
That day, 20 years ago.
Like that day.
Was it you?
Did you save my life 20 years ago?
That little boy
is all grown up now.
Seung-tak.
Time flies, doesn't it?
-Doctor, we have the ambulance ready.
-Okay.
Take your hands off of the patient.
-Dr. Koh.
-You want to transfer to another hospital?
What took you so long, you punk?
It was such a long wait.
You're still sticking
with your judgment of me?
-Of course.
-Okay. Then stay here.
With me.
Right here.
20 YEARS AGO
Cut.
Dr. Oh, you're amazing.
You were perfect.
Good job.
By the way…
Dr. Ban.
-Yes?
-When you have time,
come observe my surgeries.
You'll improve your skills
by learning the areas
in which you lack expertise.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'll try my best to learn.
Are you not feeling well?
No.
I'll stay by the patient's side.
So please turn in.
-You didn't go home yesterday either.
-No.
I have to stay until the patient wakes up.
My little princess.
Yes.
I'll go home after I see a patient.
What?
You…
You're going to stay up and wait?
Of course. I bought you a chocolate cake
that you like, Princess.
Do an ABGA an hour later.
Call me if anything looks abnormal.
Okay.
Hello? We don't have a surgeon available.
Could you take him to another hospital?
What kind of patient?
Hold on.
A patient with a descending
aortic aneurysm and impending rupture.
Even if his vitals are stable,
he might not make it
because it's an impending rupture case.
I'll go down.
Accept the patient.
And call anesthesiology. Get a room ready.
Okay, Doctor.
Send him our way.
Do you believe in God?
Even if you don’t believe
in a higher power, there'll come a time
when you'll pray to God
in a desperate situation.
And in those times,
we, doctors, will handle it.
So how can a doctor ignore a patient?
You can't rely on a spirit to help.
Everything depends on us
since we're the ones alive.
It's gotten late.
She cried and tried to stay awake
until you got home.
She's asleep now, Father.
I'm late again.
Grandpa broke his promise again.
Doctor.
Oh, dear.
He's done another night shift.
Doctor.
Are you asleep?
Did you check the test results
for the patient with chest pain?
Not yet.
Be on your toes, punk.
What if he has a myocardial infarction?
-That's careless.
-Okay.
Thanks for waiting for me.
Let's go now.
This way.
Lift him.
One, two, three.
Get the EKG attached. Hurry.
Pump the Ambu bag.
This way.
Hurry. Lift him. One, two, three.
Seung-tak.
Seung-tak, wake up.
Attach the EKG.
Hong-joo, intubation.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
The moment you call out for God.
And the moment you'd wish
a ghost could come and help
if God is too busy.
Dad?
If the living could fix everything…
Only if they could…
Do you know what time it is?
You're late on your first day.
Don't try anything against Dr. Cha.
He's my mentor now.
-Master.
-Yes.
I want to save these patients.
It's a cardiac arrest. Start CPR.
To master this,
go back to learning the basics.
No, not like that. Work on it all night.
Did you have lunch?
-This is strange.
-Something is strange.
Time to get even.
Watch out, Dr. Koh!
No…
