(Episode 8)
Hello.
- It's good to see you. - Hello.
- How are you all? - Hello.
- Welcome. - Hello.
It's nice to see you.
Sir.
You look much better.
- I'm well now. - Good.
Hello.
You've been doing this...
through wind, rain, and snow every day for years.
I stopped counting after 30 years.
I got bored.
You used to bring the kids in a fishing boat.
Isn't it great to have a motorboat like this one?
It is.
- Teacher. - Teacher.
Hello.
Don't run or you'll trip up.
- Hello. - How are you?
You're coming with me. Now get in the boat.
Watch your step.
Go down one by one. Good.
Be careful, kids.
- Bye. - See you.
Take care, sir.
See you later today.
Don't you worry.
(Somang Elementary School)
Hello, teacher.
Hello.
You're here already?
We're here to check up on the kids.
Stay for some kalguksu when you're done.
They caught so many clams yesterday.
Can we?
It looks like...
we have some new doctors on the hospital ship.
Say hello to the doctors.
- Hello. - Good.
Hello.
- Doctor Song Eun Jae's a surgeon. - Hello.
- I'm Cha Joon Young, a dentist. - Hi.
- And... - Internal Medicine, Kwak Hyun.
How could you?
Have you been well?
Why didn't you come and visit me once?
Sorry.
Do you know each other?
He's my best friend's son.
Do you mean Kwak Sung is...
Yes, Kwak Sung. He grew up here.
Kwak Sung?
He used to be a surgeon here.
Is your dad still reluctant to come back to Korea?
Yes. He still is.
He must be doing well for someone his age.
Let's all go inside.
Come with us.
- Come along. - Let's go inside.
- Stay behind. - I won't.
Oh dear.
Step up on this.
It doesn't hurt at all.
- Really? - No.
136cm, 44kg.
Did you have a big breakfast?
Come on, you need to share.
What does your dad do?
Open wide.
(Somang Elementary School)
Did it hurt?
Well done.
You're very healthy.
Listen to your teacher, okay?
Good girl.
It's your turn. What's your name?
- Kim Jin Woo. - Jin Woo. Does it hurt anywhere?
Good boy.
I'll listen to your lungs. Breathe in deeply.
Breathe in.
Doctor Kim.
Is it quiet because the others went to the school?
Yes.
Your coffee smells great.
Does it?
What kind of a reaction is that?
You should've said, "Would you like a cup?"
Or maybe even, "Shall I make you some?"
Isn't that what a normal man would say?
I'm astonished you find dates at clubs.
I should act like I'm at a club at work?
You're a bit odd today.
What?
Is that what it sounds like I meant?
- Gosh, no. - Right?
It sounds like he doesn't want to...
hear an older woman nag, so you should stop.
Captain.
Hello?
What?
Who?
You won't treat me?
It's not that I won't. I can't.
We can't cure liver cirrhosis.
I don't want to be cured.
I don't even want to live longer.
I just need to last for one more month.
Why don't you ask for the spirits' help?
Hey, you.
Who's that who follows you around?
He looks a lot like you.
He's dressed in blue...
and has a wound on his forehead.
How'd you know my brother has a wound on his forehead?
He's standing right next to you.
He has something he must say to you.
Will you help me out?
I'm starving.
Come on in. I warmed the soup for you.
Was there a lot to do? You're late for lunch.
- Have you eaten? - Yes. Enjoy.
Nurse Pyo.
Did the shaman call anyone on the ship?
Why? Of course she did.
She did?
The Korean Medicine doctor went right over.
- Who, Jae Geol? - That prickly jerk? What for?
Why would a doctor see a patient other than to treat her?
He took his needles and a lot of medicine.
Where are you going? You need to eat.
I warmed up the soup for you guys.
What are you doing?
Step away from my patient.
Who's your patient?
Did you see that? She chose me.
So you'll feed her this?
Do you know how dangerous this is to someone with liver cirrhosis?
There are many papers about the benefits to the liver.
- Doctor Kim. - Of course,
I won't give her medicine right away.
First, I'll treat her nausea with acupuncture.
Liver cirrhosis patients are prone to getting hepatitis.
Performing acupuncture in the open...
Do you think I wouldn't take precautions against infections?
Liver cirrhosis patients are likely to bleed out.
What are you worried about?
The needles are only 0.2mm in diameter,
and I'm sticking them into capillaries 0.01mm wide.
It won't lead to excessive bleeding.
The width of the vein doesn't determine if the bleeding stops.
It depends on if the patient has blood coagulation factors.
Will you both stop it? I feel dizzy.
What the patient wants right now isn't a cure.
It's the elevation of her symptoms.
Her nausea is the worst at the moment.
So you'll go ahead with your unscientific acupuncture treatment?
"Unscientific"?
Do you people call everything you don't know unscientific?
Stop the treatment right now.
That's just nonsense.
- Doctor Kwak. - Kwak.
- What do you think? - What do you think?
I hope the patient gets better soon.
More than anything,
having two doctors fight in front of a patient...
contributes nothing towards her treatment.
Yes. I agree with him wholeheartedly.
All three of you can get lost.
Can you send them away and let me stay?
I brought this.
No, I must stay.
I must take out the needles and finish the conversation.
I told you all to get out of here.
Being around you will cause more illnesses I don't have.
Please leave.
Get out of here now.
She's just helpless.
Why did she make things worse?
She just needs a transplant.
She can't do it.
What do you mean?
Her daughter's about to get married.
If she had the money for surgery, she'd rather give it to her.
What nonsense is that?
Isn't that level of maternal instinct a disease?
Why did you come back?
Do you think she'll thank you?
Do you think your daughter will dance for joy...
if you give your all to last until the wedding?
What are you saying?
You save every cent instead of getting an operation...
to pay for her dowry and travel for hours to do what she wants.
No.
Even if you go through the excruciating pain of childbirth,
she won't be grateful.
She won't care at all.
- How dare you... - She takes it for granted.
That's what all moms...
are expected to do.
You evil witch. Will you shut your mouth?
- Is it unfair? - Yes.
It's so unfair that I can't stand it.
If that's how you feel,
give her time.
Until she gets to know she shouldn't take her mom for granted.
So that she can...
thank you for once in her life.
Even if it's just once.
Wait until she's able to thank you.
Give your daughter some time.
Get a transplant.
You can live if you do.
Forget about it. You should go.
- Ma'am. - Whether I make it...
is up to the spirits.
I don't need you to interfere.
Now leave me alone.
Are you frustrated?
Do you want to save the old lady?
I know of a good way.
What is it?
Must we go so early in the morning?
- Yes. - Why?
- I'm just too curious. - About what?
When will fate bring me my spouse?
- What are you talking about? - Don't you get it?
The nasty Jae Geol took his needles and medicine...
to treat the woman.
What else could that mean?
- She's good at telling fortunes? - Bingo. She's very good.
- Let's not lose out. - Got it, doctor.
They aren't open.
Let's wait a bit.
(My Mother)
(On the Road)
(A tree, a flower...)
Are you in, sir?
What brings you here so early in the morning?
There's something that we must ask you.
Is that so? Come in.
Come in, Dr. Song.
What would you like to know?
You've worked here for 40 years.
Most of the residents on the island must be your students.
That goes without saying.
Do you know Park Oh Weol from Bam Island?
- It's Sun Hwa's mother. - Is Sun Hwa her daughter?
Please give us her contact number.
Why do you ask?
It's because...
Let's see.
This is Sun Hwa. After she left the island 10 years ago,
we lost touch.
She was best friends with Yoo Jung.
You can get in touch with her to find out.
Is anyone home?
Patient... I mean, Ms. Park?
Doctor, look.
Are you the one who called me?
- Yes. - What is it?
I came to give you a chance.
I lost my chance,
but you still have your chance.
What do you mean?
Hyun, we're in trouble.
Is the operating room ready?
Come with us now.
We'll start Park Oh Weol's liver transplant.
Scalpel.
(Geoje Jeil Hospital)
Where am I?
Where do you think it is?
You're here, so I'm not dead yet.
From now on, believe in doctors instead of the spirits.
If you take care of yourself,
you'll make it to your daughter's wedding.
You'll also see your grandson getting married.
By the way,
until when...
will you ignore it?
She told me.
She said not to bury her.
Your mother...
told me...
that she can't rest in peace.
It's too sad to watch you.
That's why...
she can't rest in peace.
Did Mom...
Did Mom say that?
Can you...
see her?
Can you see my mom?
(Isolated Room)
Mom.
Sun Hwa.
You're getting married soon.
Sun Hwa.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
- My baby. - I'm sorry.
(My Book of Recipes for Eun Jae)
"My Book of Recipes for Eun Jae".
To a daughter who will start to love.
From a bad mother who took away her time...
to love.
Seaweed soup tastes like birth.
If you want to turn over a new leaf,
how about some clam seaweed soup?
It's raining.
I made some seafood and green onion pancakes.
I bought makgeolli to drink with your aunt,
and it keeps reminding me of you.
You enjoyed drinking as if the alcohol tastes sweet.
But still, you shouldn't drink too much.
Beef bone soup has the taste of waiting.
The longer you wait, the richer and tastier it gets.
My busy daughter.
You're always pressed for time, right?
You always cut me off when I talk.
I often scolded you for being rude,
but I'm okay.
You can do that to me.
You can cut me off...
and grumble at me.
But when you marry someone...
and have your own child in the future,
please try to hear them out.
It'd be better if you listen to them while looking in their eyes.
If you look at someone's eyes and listen to their breathing,
you'll notice things you couldn't notice before.
They might say they're fine,
but that's not how they really feel.
I say everything is okay,
but the truth is...
The truth is...
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
(Hospital Ship)
Is she here? The woman I'm meant to be with.
Can you see her?
I can't see her.
What should I do?
It looks like...
I lost my ability because of the surgery.
What did my brother say?
I don't hear anything.
