Father.
Father! No!
No, you can't. Father!
Prepare for surgery. Surgery! Right now!
Hoon.
Please promise me one thing.
From now on, the fact that you're a doctor
Please never forget that.
Father!
Hey, Dr. Park!
The Party is expecting a lot of money from this trip.
Do try your best, Dr. Park.
If you don't, I'm afraid you might end up like your father.
What's the name of the girl whom Park Hoon operated on?
I believe it's Song Jae Hee, sir.
Find out more about her. Especially how she is connected to Park Hoon.
Episode 2
Jang Seok Joo!
Dr. Park!
It's pretty cold here.
What brings you here?
Nothing special.
Just to recognize your hard work making money for the country.
Oh, right.
I was wondering whom that girl was.
But it seems like you guys went to the Pyongyang Medical School together.
Life works in funny ways.
As South Korea turned its financial crisis
into an opportunity for economic development
I dare to say you, the Korean-Hungarians, will be
the main pillar of Hungary's economic development!
It must be expensive to run a presidential primary.
My boss is going all in for Assemblyman Jang in this primary.
We'll meet again soon.
These are the photos from our embassy here.
That's Cha Jin Soo.
Do you know him?
He used to work at the Office of Southern Affairs.
Apparently he's here to discuss bringing medical equipment to North Korea.
Medical equipment?
Wait.
Who's this?
He's a North Korean doctor.
Then why is our embassy spying on them?
One of these people has applied for asylum.
Asylum?
Dr. Park!
As you requested.
Jae Hee.
Hoon.
Can you recognize me?
Hoon.
How about my father?
Jae Hee.
You must trust me no matter what happens. Okay?
Has she woken up yet?
Not yet.
Someone from this group applied for asylum to the South Korean embassy.
It's not you, is it?
Don't even think about it.
Both you and this girl can die without a trace.
It must be that bastard.
I'll take him out at once, sir.
Just wait.
We might not get the foreign aid if we do that.
If we go back with nothing, we'll end up in labor camps too.
So always keep an eye on him. Understood?
This will stop your heart in three hours.
You must make it through, Jae Hee.
It was worth it to come all the way here.
Both the primary and general elections are decided by undecided voters.
The delegates who haven't decided on their choice of candidate.
No, that's not it.
Those bastards are waiting to see which candidate gives the most money.
You know what to do with this money.
Do you remember the name Park Hoon?
He's the son of Park Cheol, the doctor that we sent up to North Korea.
So?
He's here right now.
Code Blue, Code Blue.
- What happened? - The girl died.
Charge.
Take off the handcuffs!
Back off.
If you turn the monitor off, they can't find out whether her hearbeat is back.
What? She's dead!
However, if the hearbeat doesn't come back, she's in extreme danger.
Tell me. What happened?
You saw it yourself.
Her heart has stopped, and there is no pupillary response.
You don't think I know that? How did she just die after doing so well?
Do you have time to start a fight right now?
I'm afraid the foreign aid is in danger.
The patient died?
The surgery was successful. She died because of some other reason!
I can't believe the patient died.
Come translate!
I'll help you to confirm.
But if her heart really stops, you have to restore it in five minutes.
Five minutes...
What?
It's an emergency.
Where?
Three minutes.
One minute.
Jae Hee! Please...
Jae Hee.
Park Hoon. Bastard!
Kill them all!
Are you okay, sir?
The South Korean embassy. Follow them.
An asylum request.
Does the embassy know that he is the son of Park Cheol?
It didn't seem like it.
It was more than a decade ago.
Park Hoon. How much can he possibly know?
Open the door!
Please open the door. I'm Park Hoon and I've applied for an asylum.
The reason why I could become a presidential candidate
is the Yongbyon Nuclear Crisis of 1994.
The one and only hero who saved Korea from war. Jang Seok Joo.
If it wasn't for that, I'd have remained as a boring assemblyman
always worried about his reelection.
Do you think it was really necessary to kill him?
It was a sacrifice for the greater good.
I apologize, sir.
That's why you took care of that woman too, Mr. Kim.
My son.
Where is my Hoon?
Wait.
Right there!
What are you doing?
Open the door!
Open the door now!
Open the door!
Park Hoon!
Let's go.
The primary race of the Korea Party pretty much is the presidential race.
If I win the primary, I'll become president. I'll be the leader of Korea.
Until then
I can't afford any scandal.
But now, someone who could start the most damaging scandal has appeared.
What should I do in this situation, Mr. Kim?
Jae Hee.
Hoon, I think I'm done. You should go.
Hang tight. Just a bit more.
- But... - Don't say anything stupid!
Jae Hee! Run! Now!
Hoon!
Jae Hee.
Hoon.
It's okay.
No.
It's fine. Don't let it go.
No.
Please remember me.
Don't do it!
My dear doctor, Comrade Park Hoon...
Goodbye.
No, No!
No!
Jae Hee!
[Two Years Later, Seoul]
Once there is a stricture on the coronary artery of the heart
many complications, including myocardial infarction, can occur.
Back in the day, we operated on the heart
after arresting it with a bypass machine
But these days it's more common to operate it without the pump.
That's what you reporters are looking at right now.
Do you think this hospital will be in charge
of Prime Minister Jang's heart surgery?
Jaeil University Hospital is also a possibility.
Why is he turning his surgery into a big deal?
He should just get it from his local hopsital.
- I think it might be a publicity stunt. - A publicity stunt?
Think about it.
Most medical school graduates avoid cardiology because it's so demanding.
By making his heart condition a public issue
He might be hoping more medical students enter cardiology.
I also heard that the President is monitoring the situation.
The President?
It might be to show that the President is concerned with the Prime Minister's health.
I don't think that's the case.
You're right. They fought a very rough primary race!
But they still belong to the same party!
If the President made Mr. Jang prime minister, doesn't that mean that they're on good terms now?
Let's stop talking about boring politics and get up.
I'll make sure that you have a good time tonight!
Code Blue, Code Blue. ICU Code Blue.
Han Jae Joon, cardiology.
Clear!
Recharge.
Clear!
What's going on?
A sudden myocardial infarction, sir.
Let me see.
Charge the defibrillator to 200!
You should just move him to the operation chamber.
What are you talking about? All we need to do is correct his heartbeat.
Dr. Moon! Was there a mistake during his heart surgery?
Tell me what happened!
Every person makes mistake.
Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Chairman. Are you admitting medical malpractice right now?
Don't you think it's more important to save the patient right now?
Mr. Chairman, I'll take care of him.
Assemble the team.
Fine.
- You can finish up, right? - Don't worry.
I'll be right there.
How can the anesthesiologist leave her post during surgery?
Dr. Choi will take care of it. Right?
Yes, Dr. Oh.
He's my patient. I'll operate!
This is my operation room!
Please leave.
Scalpel.
This was my mistake, Mr. Chairman. A very rare one.
Yes, and you made it in front of the reporters.
But isn't it too harsh for you to ask me to resign my post and stop practicing?
This hospital will be responsible for Prime Minister Jang's heart surgery!
That's another reason why I should stay.
I'm well aware of your abilities. But surgery is done by teams, not individuals.
If you want to redeem yourself, get yourself a team that's as good as Dr. Han's.
Dr. Han already took all the good ones! How can I form a team as good as his?
That's your business.
[Seoul Penitentiary]
Brother!
Who are you calling your brother?
Did you think I'd be fooled again?
Let's go.
What happened to the security deposit for the doctor's office?
I didn't put the office on the market.
I told you to get some cash!
Let's be real. I invested the half of your hospital.
You can take your share.
Are you going to China again with that money?
You'll get arrested if you try to sneak into North Korea!
What's wrong with your accent?
I've been practicing a Seoul accent. I must assimilate to get a job here.
What do you think? My accent is pretty good now, right?
It's perfect.
Get the security deposit right now. Okay?
I think you should stop, Hoon.
This is the third time you went to prison because of her.
You don't even know whether she's alive or not.
Dr. Hyun said he saw her getting dragged to North Korea alive.
So what if she's alive?
I tried so many different things to get my mother out to no avail.
You're back to your old accent.
Mr. Lim said he's stopped smuggling people out of North Korea.
I don't trust him anymore anyway!
There are so many smugglers around the border!
But he's the only one who gets caught every time.
He did say there's an alternative.
An alternative?
What's the alternative?
He'll deliver here if we pay him first.
Do you think your mother is some spring water? Delivered to your doorstep?
I already paid him 30,000 dollars.
30,000 dollars?
You gave 30 million Won to that swindler?
You really have lost your mind this time.
Only time will tell.
Mr. Lim wants you to come meet him with every single penny you have.
So get busy and make money!
To that stationery store right there.
Fine, fine. I guess I'll take every penny I can get.
I saw it first.
I dropped it.
Stop lying.
Then do you know which coin it is?
It's a 500 Won coin. Do you know if it was heads or tails?
Heads!
Tails!
See? Tails.
I thought the picture is heads.
Let me see.
What's wrong with your finger?
I'm fine. Let go of me.
- It's broken. - I said it's fine.
You might end up losing that finger forever. Let's go to my hospital.
No.
Then pay me for treating you. 500 Won.
I never asked you to treat me.
But I did it anyway! Give me!
Jeong Min!
Dad!
Hey, give me that coin! You brat!
I asked you to deliver a water bottle, not to play with a kid!
Hey, what comes on the head of a coin?
Are you stupid? The picture is heads, and the number is tails!
Damn.
[Garibong Doctor's Office]
You little brat.
I told everyone that the office is opening up
again so you have some work to catch up on!
I cleaned the office and brought in some necessary tools.
I told you to put it on the market.
Did you bring them in also?
- I'll call you. - Hey...
- They might be patients! - Hey, Lee Chang Hee!
What is this? The miracle of Moses?
Please describe your illness.
Well
I'm not here because I'm sick
Then what are you doing in my office? Get out at once!
There's someone you must see.
I see that you came for a patient. You should've told me earlier!
He can't go to a regular hospital because of some reasons.
Where did he go?
Please describe your illness.
He's been saying that he has a piercing pain in his lower abdomen.
Let's see.
You have graffitied yourself! No wonder why you're in pain.
He's also a bit feverish.
Is this where it hurts?
He should get surgery immediately.
It's his appendix. If it explodes, he'll die.
He wants to operate right now, boss. Please hang tight.
The gangsters these days must be doing well.
You all look very fashionable in your suits!
It's a cheap suit.
Done!
Are we all done?
Not until you pay.
Gangsters will be gangsters, I guess.
Do you see this?
Okay! Okay! How much?
1.5 million Won for the surgery.
Charge it on here.
We don't accept credit cards.
Here, 1.5 million.
Make sure you endorse them first.
Endorse them? Give me the pen.
Are we good?
Every stitch is extra. 100,000 Won per stitch.
I think I can manage it in 10 stitches.
So, one million Won?
Fine. Here's a million.
Hurry up!
Oh, right. Give me 500 Won more.
What is that for?
You're asking too many questions.
Fine, fine!
500 Won!
Here!
- I'll stitch him up. - Please!
Hand me the phone.
Your phone.
What's up?
What?
- Hoon! - What happened?
He found your mother?
I did more than just finding her.
Where's the rest of my money, Chang Hee?
Mom!
Chang Hee!
Hey, Chang Hee.
Stop crying and take her out for a nice meal!
Please tell Mr. Choi how grateful I am! Thank you so much!
It's not Mr. Choi, mom. It's Mr. Lim.
That's right. I'm Mr. Lim.
What are you doing? Go take care of her.
Here.
Let's go.
Am I dreaming right now?
Well done.
How did you manage this?
It's simple.
I just send this to my people in China.
Then they call up their contacts in North Korea.
Then those contacts find the person I'm looking for.
We already have established routes to smuggle people out.
It's all pre-arranged by bribing North Korean officials.
Socialism?
It's all a farce.
They'll even smuggle out a statue of Kim Il-sung if I pay them!
Who was that lady again?
Song Jae Hee, right?
Did you find her?
You already know that I only take U.S. dollars.
I asked if you found her!
I'm back, Mr. Prime Minister.
Mr. Prime Minister?
It was a very close race. Wasn't it, Mr. Kim?
You still became prime minister.
Above everyone, but under one man.
I guess I'm like a chancellor to a king.
Everyone remembers ancient kings, but no one cares about their chancellors.
Mr. Prime Minister!
How's Park Hoon?
He got out of the prison today.
How is he doing?
He's acting as planned.
To think that I'm in need of his help...
I've become a joke.
But he's the best cardiologist in the Korean peninsula.
That's true. But I presume he won't say yes that easily.
That's only natural.
This isn't enough for the deposit!
I'll give you more as I earn. Tell me if you've found Jae Hee!
Fine!
I'll see what I can do.
Is this the girl?
Yes, sir.
Hoon...
Jae Hee...
