Doctor Stranger
Yes. I'm that Lee Seung Hoon from 20 years ago.
Thank you for not letting my life go to waste.
Chairman Oh Joon Gyu.
You... you bastard!
- Take out the emergency key right now. - Okay.
Father. Father, are you okay?
Jae Joon!
Father!
Call the operating room. Hurry!
Yes!
What in the world did you do? What did you do...
Father. Father.
Move him quickly.
I will never forgive you. Never.
I'm almost done so go on out.
He's okay, so don't worry.
Because you keep just standing there, I can't focus.
Okay.
Episode 19
How is Chairman?
He'll be okay.
Although that's bad news to you.
Were you thinking to do this from the beginning?
Tell me! I'm asking if you were thinking of causing my father to die from the beginning!
I didn't know he would collapse.
Lies. Then why did you lock the door?
- I didn't want to be interrupted. - From what?
From killing Father?
- Soo Hyeon. - Then what?!
I told you. If only I got an apology from the Chairman-
Don't kid with me. If I didn't come in at that time, my father would have died.
He would have died in your hands!
You're a doctor after all.
How can you do something so cruel?
When a person was dying in front of your eyes, how can...
You're not a doctor, but a murderer.
You're right. I'm not even a doctor.
All I am is a murderer who is blinded by revenge.
However can't you try to understand me?
You're asking me to understand you?
The feeling you have right now, it's that feeling I felt when I lost my parents 20 years ago.
Why I had to do that, why I had no other choice but to be so cruel... I'm asking you to think about it.
After doing this to me,
you're asking me to understand you?
I can't understand you.
Get out of this hospital right now.
Immediately.
Alright.
Thanks.
I don't know who it was, but if emergency measures were taken even a little bit later, it could have been bad.
Jeez, seriously.
Hyungnim.
That weird rumor going around in the hospital...
perhaps... that's not true, right?
What rumor?
That you are the son of a medical malpractice victim.
That's why you did this to take revenge on the chairman, but-
- It's true. - What?
I'm saying that it's not a rumor, but it's the truth.
Hyung.
I'll be leaving soon.
From the start, I didn't fit in here.
Chi Gyu, you must work hard and become a good doctor.
♬ While people gathered on a nice day like this they laughed and rejoiced. ♬
♬ Because the tears are flowing and I am in pain only by myself ♬
♬ I’m thinking of you. ♬
♬ It shouldn’t be a secret. ♬
♬ It should be easy to forget you like that. ♬
♬ I'm sorry. I don't think I can live without you ♬
♬ I can neither eat nor sleep. ♬
♬ I can neither laugh nor cry. That’s right. ♬
What are you doing here?
I turned in my resignation.
Then go now.
♬ On a bright sunny day. On a good day like this. ♬
Never appear before me again. ♬ On a bright sunny day. On a good day like this. ♬
No, don't even come anywhere near this hospital. ♬ On a bright sunny day. On a good day like this. ♬
♬ On a good day like this, the day we broke up. ♬
♬ I tried to smile but it was no good. ♬
♬ Even though I try to pretend I’m fine, I’m the same ♬
He will regain his consciousness soon. ♬ Even though I try to pretend I’m fine, I’m the same ♬
Thank you. ♬ On a nice day like this, the day we broke up. ♬
♬ I tried to bear it but that didn’t work. ♬
♬ On a bright sunny day. ♬
♬ On a good day like this. ♬
Why on earth did you do that?
Because it was something I've been waiting and planning for 20 years.
So?
Do you feel better now?
I've failed to get revenge.
You didn't fail but gave up, isn't it?
Because you love Quack.
No.
Please don't lie.
I already know that you performed CPR on the Chairman to save him.
Tell Quack the truth and ask for her forgiveness.
Otherwise Quack will misunderstand and resent you all her life.
It's preferable this way.
She'll be able to forget about me at once.
I came here to say goodbye before I leave.
What do you mean by leaving?
Doctor... I'm going to quit.
Why?
I'm not qualified.
Since the beginning, I became a doctor for revenge.
I had no sense of duty of treating patients.
At first, I thought you were a foreigner.
But when I thought about it, it turned out that the real foreigner
was me.
I realized this thanks to you, Doctor Park.
Doctors who truly don't respect a patient's life are all foreigners.
If that's what you're thinking, then you should stay right here.
Once you keep doing that, a time will come when even Quack will come to understand you as well.
I can't forgive myself.
I won't be coming back to the hospital.
Instead, I have a favor to ask of you.
What favor?
Soo Hyeon likes you sincerely.
I am sorry but I found Jae Hee.
It's hard to tell the specific details but I found her.
So I can't like another woman,
nor do I have the capacity to be concerned about it.
I decline that favor.
Then let me ask you for a favor like this.
Stay by Soo Hyeon as a friend and watch over her.
A friend?
Please.
Father...
Father are you alright?
Why? Who are you looking for?
Chief Han.
Where is Han Jae Joon?
He's not here anymore.
Bring him here.
There is something I need to say.
Forget about it.
Why would you look for the person who just watched you when you collapsed?
No,
Chief Han saved me.
It's because of Soo Hyeon.
Find Jae Joon.
That can't be.
- Hurry. - He didn't say anything to me. Not a word-
Jae Joon...
It's a lie.
Hurry.
The number you dialed...
Oh Soo Hyeon
Cardiothoracic Department Han Jae Joon
Jae Joon.
I am sorry.
So, Chairman is recovering at the ICU right now.
He got bitten by Han Jae Joon properly.
I hear they will be picking a new acting Chairman soon.
They have to. There is not much time left until VIP's surgery.
Would it make sense not to have the head here?
You can't find the body?
It's a body which was shot.
You definitely have to find him.
Yes.
There is a chance that Cha Jin Soo is still alive so be extra careful.
I understand, Secretary Kim.
Since I got to be in this position due to the Chairman's illness, my heart is heavy.
To be sure that it won't be troublesome for the Chairman when he returns after his recovery,
I will execute the Chairman's position with all my efforts during this period.
Chairman, Oh Joon Gyu.
You should quickly grasp the manpower we need and after you call the branch, put it up on the board.
Okay.
No.
I understand, acting Chairman.
You can talk comfortably as before.
Then it means that starting today, I've become the Chief of Cardiothoracic Department, right?
Yes.
It's really unfortunate about Chief Han's matter.
- Please take your leave. - Okay.
Cardiothoracic Department Chief Moon Hyung Wook
I just came back to my original place, but
why am I so moved?
Congratulations Doctor Moon, I mean Chief Moon.
Let's end this quickly.
Stay still for a moment.
Why are you telling me to hurry it up when it's such an emotionally moving moment?
Let's give a round of applause.
Thanks.
When this Prime Minister's surgery ends,
there will be countless amount of interest in our cardiothoracic department,
and an enormous sum of research funds will be rolling in.
What are you doing, huh?
An enormous sum of research funds... yes, go ahead.
As your chief, as the chief,
I am feeling an overwhelming responsibility.
So all of you should unite with me,
and let's do our best to make this cardiothoracic department become the face of
Myeongwoo University Hospital.. Quack
This what I want to say. Hey where are you going?
What weird thing did Jae Hee say?
Is it correct that you used Jae Hee's father's kidney to do the transplant surgery?
If that is really true, then that means that Jae Hee really likes you.
Otherwise, how could she have come looking for you after knowing that?
What are you saying? She knew that before meeting me?
She said that's why she was not confident in meeting you.
On top of that, she was saying that you liked me.
Quack, I told you it's not you. That's why I apologized.
I'm so thankful for confirming it, but what I'm saying is
that it seemed like Jae Hee was pointlessly trying to pass you over to me.
Why did you lie to me?
Lie?
You knew from earlier on that you had your transplant surgery with your father's kidney.
Is knowing when I found out important?
You said that you couldn't forgive me as you said you had just found out.
On top of that, you had even asked Quack to take care of me.
You're doing it on purpose.
You pretended to be angry to send me away.
Fine, I did it to send you away.
Why?
I already told you,
I found out that this love was a hypocrisy.
What you're feeling is guilt and sense of duty for causing my father to pass away. And you're calling that love.
- Jae Hee- - I told you not to call out that name.
Do you know?
Do you know...
how it feels to live with my father's death attached to my body?
Even if I want to forget, it can't be forgotten.
When he's always here in my body, how can it be forgotten?
Every single day I live, I feel so guilty and is very painful.
But it hurts even more since I think it's because of you.
Do you still not know?
Then I'll say it more clearly.
I have never once sincerely loved you.
If you understand, go back now.
Then what was this?
The last month I was able to meet you again,
were moments that I really could not forget.
Especially you know... that one time,
when you hugged me tightly in the staff room.
I was really happy then.
Even if I don't say it... even if I keep denying it,
I felt that you recognized me.
Listen!
Hoon,
the reason why I said I'd do this alone,
is because of your mother.
If you are in charge of the surgery team and by any chance something goes wrong,
there would be no one to take care of your mother.
Look straight into my eyes and say it.
Is it true that you don't love me?
That's right.
Say it again.
Is it for real?
Say it!
Is it for real?
That's right I like you. I love you.
I have never once hated you! Pretending to hate you was really hard!
I only thought about you every day.
Each day, I've only lived dreaming of living happily with you.
♬ Like the sun which comes through the window late in the morning waking me ♬
♬ You gently approach. ♬
♬ When I open my eyes I wonder whether it is a dream. I wonder whether I am allowed to feel this joy. ♬
♬ I keep asking myself. ♬
♬ I love like a tomorrow which may not come. ♬
Then why did you do that? ♬ I love like a tomorrow which may not come. ♬
You becoming a doctor, ♬ I love as if I may not see you again. ♬
I thought I was blocking it. ♬ I love as if I may not see you again. ♬
I thought that I had to let you go for you to become ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
comfortable and to be safe. ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
I'm sorry. ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
I didn't think that you would be in danger because of me.
Why is that because of you?
It's because I made the wrong choice.
The wrong choice?
When I think about it now, I regret it so much.
Don't you want to meet that bastard, Park Hoon?
♬ I love like a tomorrow which may not come. ♬
Back then, I never imagined that it'd put you in danger! ♬ I love as if I may not see you again. ♬
No, I didn't even have time to think about that. ♬ I love as if I may not see you again. ♬
Because I missed you so much. ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
I'm sorry, Hoon. ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
I seriously, ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
never thought you would be in danger. ♬ Day to day for me I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
I just, ♬ Because I am grateful, I will always keep the tears inside. ♬
just once, ♬ Because I am grateful, I will always keep the tears inside. ♬
even if it was just once, ♬ Because I am grateful, I will always keep the tears inside. ♬
wanted to see you. ♬ Because I am grateful, I will always keep the tears inside. ♬
♬ When today passes like closing our eyes ♬
♬ Like there cannot be a more perfect tomorrow. ♬
♬ Day to day for me, ♬
♬ I heal with love instead of scars. ♬
Jang Seok Joo did that to you and Mother?
I didn't say it because I thought you would worry. Sorry.
No, I was a fool for thinking that he would just let you go.
I'm going to try meeting with Secretary Kim tomorrow.
Jang Seok Joo's secretary?
If I convince that person, I think there should be a good way.
Can you do it?
I have to try. I have to do something.
Yeah.
You want me to to betray the Prime Minister?
People like Jang Seok Joo have no right to become one nation's leader.
I'm sure you know that more than anyone else.
If you'll just help, I have a plan to stop that.
I've worked in the area of intelligence, but I'm a soldier.
To a soldier, there is worth a money can't buy.
Do you know what that is?
It's loyalty.
That's same for all the agents who serve the Prime Minister.
Would a person like Jang Seok Joo really know that?
If he didn't know, he wouldn't have kept me beside him for over 20 years.
Loyalty.
If that was that amazing, why did you save me and look after my mother?
Is that what that person ordered?
I thought of it as a debt.
I will act like I never heard this so don't think of useless stuff,
and just prepare well for the surgery.
Yes it's Jang Seok Joo.
It's the VIP, Prime Minister.
Yes Mr. President.
How are you feeling?
It's somewhat bearable.
I intend to visit you at the hospital tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yes, when the Prime Minister has been hospitalized, I shouldn't just stay still.
Yes I understand.
There's not much time left.
Overwhelming amount of support for the current Prime Minister, Jang Seok Joo.
If the election was happening right now, you would be able to get what you want.
In the logic of nature that the strong defeat the weak and rule the world,
an election is an action which offends that logic.
Shall I say it's like the bathroom where ignorant people excrete their desire?
If I want to win here, instead of this approval rating,
I'll need bunch of toilet paper that I can properly wipe their bottoms with, called money.
Either that or... I'll need an event exciting enough for them to spring up, even forgetting to wipe their bottoms.
You mean like the North-South Korean summit?
Exactly.
What is it?
I'm sure you're not here to promote my philosophy about politics.
Please return Park Hoon's mother.
What's the reason I have to grant that request?
If you don't, we won't be able to perform the surgery on the President as you wish.
Does it work like that?
In order for you to get a horse to run, I heard that both a carrot and a whip are needed.
The person who has hovered between life and death because of your pranks,
can't be moved with threats anymore.
The whip isn't working,
so offer a carrot?
It will be enough by returning his mother, of course,
surveillance is something you guys can do as you want.
For some reason, I feel like I'm being cornered to a "wooden hand mill." (no way out)
Keep in mind that right now,
there is no other option than Park Hoon.
The President's coming?
Yeah, he's coming to visit the Prime Minister tomorrow.
He might ask to see the Prime Minister's surgery team, so be prepared. synced by riri13
If I meet the President and shake his hand, that would be an honor for my family.
No, when we meet, let's ask him to take a picture first. Right?
Dr. Han Seung Hee
Yeah, it's me.
Stop by my house for a bit.
What is it?
Your mother is here.
Mom.
Mom, the food looks much better than last time, right?
I will eat well.
Mom, she's Jae Hee, my girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Isn't she pretty?
She's pretty.
You are beautiful, too.
Of course, she's my mom.
See you later.
You'll meet the President?
It's a good opportunity. If I'm able to just tell the President about Jang Seok Joo's plan,
we can get assured of our safety.
Jang Seok Joo's people will be watching.
Even with the President's bodyguards there, will you be able to meet him?
I will try to do something about people watching over me.
Instead, you try to convince Quack.
Doctor Oh?
To meet the President, we need Quack's assistance.
How are you feeling?
It's a bit stifling to just lay here when I'm perfectly fine.
But what are you here for? If you had something to say, you could've just called me.
There's someone I wanted to meet.
- Who? - Doctor Park Hoon.
- Doctor Park Hoon? - Yes.
He's the doctor who'll fix my heart. Don't you think I should at least see his face once?
He doesn't know that it's your surgery yet.
If the rumors spread, I am worried that
everything we kept secret will have been for nothing.
Is that so?
Then should l just look around the hospital?
Yes, please do. I will call ahead.
You have people keeping tabs on Park Hoon and Han Seung Hee, right?
Yes.
No no. Since it'll be a big problem if they meet and say something wrong,
you do it yourself.
I understand.
Dr. Oh, how long have you been here?
After coming back from studying abroad, I started right away.
This room is where the surgeons do their research.
What? You lost Park Hoon?
I'm sorry, Prime Minister.
Where is the President right now?
Hoon has a reason to meet the President.
Will there be an opportunity to meet him without being seen by others?
I beg you. It's something important.
Exactly why is it that you're like this?
It will not ever cause damage to the hospital,
so I'm begging you.
Is this the staff room?
Yes, have a look around.
Block him!
I'm Park Hoon, Mr. President.
You are the person who will do the surgery on the Prime Minister, right?
I have something to say to you.
To me?
It's something for only the President to hear.
It is a bit difficult, but what is the matter?
It's fine, so just say it.
I understand. This Prime Minister's surgery...
Ah, so you were here.
Prime Minister Jang.
You already met him.
This is Doctor Park Hoon.
Even though his mother is sick,
he is preparing himself here at the hospital.
I see.
In any case, please take care of the Prime Minister.
What are you doing?
I am sorry.
10 years of hard work almost failed. Do you know?!
- I am sorry. - Do you think saying sorry takes care of everything?
You did it on purpose, right?
You let him go on purpose, didn't you?
- Prime Minister. - If not,
why would you lose that guy, huh?
I had a weird feeling you were protecting him.
I told you to kill him, but instead you save him.
I told you to dispose of her but instead, you took care of his mother for over 10 years.
I didn't feel the need to do that.
Shut up.
Even during the prosectutor's investigation, you carried on saying weird things!
I heard things from the Prosecutors!
Prime Minister, I have been serving you for over 20 years.
- How can you take my loyalty- - Loyalty?!
Let's be honest! Honest! Let's be honest here!
You're only seeking the position as Chief of Presidential Security Service once I become President, so you're enduring it!
- Prime Minister! - Endure it!
So no matter what seize it! I'll forgive you for all of it!
However, before then, do it properly properly properly! UNDERSTAND?!
VIP
Yes, Mr. President.
What do you think about changing to Mingook University Hospital?
Next week is the surgery... if you say that now...
The Chairman of Myeongwoo collapsed, and
I heard that his son was arrested also.
But you already decided to get the surgery here...
In any case, let's rethink about doing it at Myeongwoo.
Do you think it's necessary to kill him?
It was a sacrifice for a greater cause.
I'd like to first say that this incident has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.
Even during the prosectutor's investigation, you carried on saying weird things!
There are things that I heard from the Prosecutors!
I'm home from school.
Jang Seok Joo saw you?
Did you say anything to the President?
No.
Yet you're this idle?
The President might change the hospital to Mingook University Hospital.
That won't happen.
What?
The President won't be able to have the surgery anywhere else.
If it isn't me, there's no one else who can do the surgery.
What do you mean by that?
I'll tell you soon, but there's something you have to help me with.
Me? What?
That's...
What did you say?
Is there something wrong?
What did you say, that the President won't do the surgery here?
The President won't be able to go to another hospital.
The President's heart in one week...
I'm sorry, it's hard to guarantee even one more week.
Even though it's dangerous, how about considering a transplant?
In order to live, he has to do a heart transplant but I'm sure there's a reason why he can't.
He probably has a condition where he can't take immunosuppressant drugs.
If I take immunosuppressant drugs, you said I'll die. Is there another way?
There is a Batista Operation (Left Ventricular Reduction), but
the probability of success becomes too low.
Then are you saying there isn't a method at all?
It's not impossible.
There is a most idealistic surgery method for your heart, but
it's a procedure that has died out.
What is that?
It is SAVER.
I looked through published research in the past 10 years,
there weren't even clinical trials, let alone successful cases.
There is one.
I am saying there is a person who did that.
If he wants to live, he'll have to do a SAVER surgery.
If you're wrong?
We will get a call.
Don't act arrogant!
VIP
Yes?
It's me, Prime Minister Jang.
Yes, please speak.
I think I need to have it at Myeongwoo.
Jae Hee.
How did it go?
The President will come here.
We only have a little more to go.
It will all turn out well... all of it.
I suppose there is nothing more to hide.
Yes, Mr. President.
The truth is that the person who is going to receive the surgery
isn't the Prime Minister, but me.
The surgery that Doctor Park did not too long ago,
SAVER.
Yes.
The patient who received SAVER surgery...
is still healthy even now, right?
Of course.
Is the SAVER surgery possible?
The left ventricle is enlarged more than normal.
This is called left ventricular hypertrophy.
I heard a lot about that from my other doctors.
Not that but tell me about the possibility of success.
It is hard to say there is a 100% success rate.
I really hate the way the doctors speak like that.
"We will do our best. We need to keep an eye on it."
They don't give me any answers with certainty.
No person other than God is confident about having a 100% success rate.
Is there no premium service for the President?
Once you lie on the surgery table, you're a patient. No more and no less.
You are a doctor by nature.
Then this time, shall we listen to
what you were going to say before?
Inside the hospital, there is the Chief of Performance and three Security Agents.
Outside the building, there is a team of Presidential Security Service on standby.
How is he?
The condition of his heart is more severe than I thought.
Let's schedule the surgery for tomorrow.
Yes. I understand, Mr. President.
Then please take care of me.
- Mr. President! - Wait, help me...
Hurry.
Doctor Park.
Please.
Emergency Button
Let's quickly move him.
Everyone, listen! Everyone, listen!
Chief Jung.
You know Article 71 under the Constitution, right?
From now on, until the President wakes up,
on the basis of Article 71 under the Constitution,
I, the Prime Minister,
will temporarily take jurisdiction over the President's position.
Call the Presidential Secretariat and all heads of departments to gather immediately at the Blue House.
Then the President's condition...?
Maintain that under strict security.
Yes, I understand.
Doctor Park, what happened?
- Hurry, Nurse Min. - What happened all of a sudden?
Shut up and Delinquent... you stay completely alert, understand?
Yes, I got it.
Quickly scrub and come.
We're ready.
Okay. From now on, we'll begin the SAVER surgery.
Scalpel.
What do you mean the President collapsed?
He's in emergency surgery right now.
Then where is he right now?
He's at Myeongwoo University Hospital.
If a problem arises, what happens?
What do you mean "a problem"?
Isn't it obvious? He's asking what happens if something goes wrong during surgery.
Is that something you're wishing for or what?!
Ah, quiet, quiet. Be quiet please.
What is there to ask about?
There is a clear direction in the Constitution.
In a case where the President is in an accident or vacant,
the Prime Minister gets the authority.
Message
The surgery ended well as you wished.
If the BIS value is from 40-60, he's in a state of anesthesia.
If it goes over 80, it means his consciousness is coming back.
If it maintains this current state, there will be a vacancy.
If it goes over 80 even momentarily, and then drops again,
it becomes a state of an accident.
I, you see...
do you know which king from the Joseon Dynasty I like the best?
It's Sejo. Sejo.
Tae Joeng Tae Sae Moon Dan Sae, that Sejo.
You know who it is.
It's that man who became a king after killed his nephew.
He was someone who knew something.
What does he know? The difference between a weak man and a strong man.
That...it's not something that happens just because you're strong.
You have to know how to properly trample on the weak to be the strong one.
Nephew? That stuff doesn't matter.
Without mercy, when you have the power,
you need to know how to properly trample the weak.
That is the law of the world and the truth.
Because he doesn't know that, our president is... here like...
Hey, when you found fault with the election slush fund,
you should have trampled and killed me at that moment.
After putting me on such a trivial leash,
if you pulled and dragged me, "Yes, I understand."
"Yes, I'll do as you say."
Did you think I would do that?
Really!
Soon, there will be a presidential election.
Until then, rest well.
I'll accomplish the North-South Korean Summit with the North Koreans,
and lighten the mood for the ignorant citizens.
After that, I'll allow you to rest forever.
Understand?
