Father.
Father!
No, Father!
Father!
No.
Prepare the operating room. Get it ready now!
Hun.
Promise me...
one thing.
Father.
Don't forget
you are a doctor.
Don't ever...
forget that.
Father.
Father!
Father.
Hey, Dr. Park!
Everyone in the Party is expecting a good amount of investment.
So do your best.
Or you might end up like your father.
What is the name of the patient he operated on?
Song Jae Hui, Sir.
I want every bit of information about her.
Find out how she is connected to Park Hun.
-Jang Seok-ju! Jang Seok-ju! - Jang Seok-ju! Jang Seok-ju!
Dr. Park!
The weather is quite cold here.
I didn't expect you here.
Well, I'm here to escort our investment promoter.
By the way.
Do you know who she is? She attended your university.
Isn't it a strange coincidence?
Just like South Korea
took the IMF crisis as an opportunity for development,
we hope our expatriates here will become Hungary's greatest
economic driving force. I certainly believe you can be that.
One needs a lot of money to run for president.
He decided to fully support Mr. Jang Seok-ju.
I'll be seeing you again soon.
We received these photos from the embassy.
That is Cha Jin Su.
- Do you know him? - He was a North Korean spy.
They're here to negotiate for medical equipment support.
Medical equipment?
Wait.
- Who is he? - He's their doctor.
Why is the embassy watching them?
One of them applied for asylum.
Asylum?
The ampoules you asked for.
Jae Hui.
Hun.
Do you...
know who I am?
Hun.
Where is my father?
Jae Hui.
No matter what happens, you have to trust me.
Okay?
Is she awake now?
No, not yet.
Someone applied for asylum at the South Korean embassy.
You didn't do that, did you?
Don't even think about it.
Or else we can get rid of both of you without a single trace.
- I'm sure he's the one. - I'll get him out of here.
No, we might lose our investor.
We'll end up in a labor camp if we go back empty-handed.
So don't ever lose sight of them. Understood?
Three hours from now, this will stop your heart momentarily.
You must endure it, Jae Hui.
Goodness.
So, coming this far has paid off.
It's the swing votes that decide the candidate and the president.
Many members of Parliament haven't decided who they'll vote for.
No, no.
They're just waiting and seeing who will give them the money.
Take care of it.
Do you remember Park Hun?
The son of the doctor you sent to North Korea.
- What about him? - He is in Budapest right now.
Code blue! Code blue! Code blue!
- What's going on? - The woman is dead!
Charge it.
Remove the handcuffs!
Step back.
Turn off the monitor so it won't show her heartbeat is back.
What? She's dead?
You must be careful. Her heart might really stop beating though.
Tell me what happened!
As you can see, her heart stopped. There's no pupillary response.
She was fine a moment ago. Why did she suddenly die?
You don't have time for this. What about the investment?
What?
The patient is dead?
The operation was successful. She died of some other cause.
This is not acceptable! The patient is dead!
- What? Find an interpreter! - Doctor.
I will confirm her death.
If her heart really stops,
you must resuscitate her within five minutes.
- Five minutes. - What?
This is an emergency!
Where are you?
Come on.
Three minutes.
One minute.
Jae Hui! Please.
Jae Hui, please.
Jae Hui.
Park Hun, that bastard!
Kill them!
There!
We're on their tail.
- Are you okay, Sir? - Let go!
Go after them. They're headed for the South Korean embassy.
Applied for asylum?
Does the embassy know he's the son of Park Cheol?
I don't think they do, Sir.
It's been more than ten years.
I wonder how much Park Hun knows.
Open the door. Open it!
Open the door. I'm Park Hun. I applied for asylum.
The reason I could become the party's presidential candidate
was because of the 1994 crisis.
Jang Seok-ju, the hero that saved South Korea from a potential war.
Without that, I would be
just a member of Parliament who always worries about re-elections.
But was killing him necessary?
It was a sacrifice for a greater cause.
I'm sorry, Sir.
And that's why you took care of that woman.
My son.
Where is my son?
Wait.
There!
What are you doing?
Open the door! Open it!
Please, open. Open the door!
Open the door!
Park Hun!
Let's go.
The Hanguk Party running for election will decide the presidential election.
The head of that party will become president,
the leader of South Korea.
Until then,
nothing must get in my way.
But this fellow, who might end up being my fatal flaw, has appeared.
You know what to do, right?
- Jae Hui. - Hun.
I don't think I can make it. You should go without me.
Just a little more.
- But... - Stop talking nonsense.
Jae Hui. Jae Hui, run. Run!
Hun!
Jae Hui.
Hun.
It's okay.
No.
It's okay.
Hang on a little more. Just a little more.
No.
Hun.
No.
Don't forget me.
No, don't. Don't.
No, don't. Don't, Jae Hui. Don't.
My doctor, Comrade Park Hun.
Goodbye.
No, no.
No.
Jae Hui!
No! Let me go!
Jae Hui! Jae Hui.
2 YEARS LATER, SEOUL
If the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart is blocked,
it can cause angina pectoris or MI.
In the past, bypass surgery was done to arrest the heart before operating on it.
But nowadays, OPCAB is more popular.
And you're now looking at such procedure.
Irrigation.
So, is this the team that's most likely to be operating on the prime minister?
The Jeil Hospital team is also a strong candidate.
But there already is a hospital he usually gets treatment from.
Why is he suddenly looking into choosing another team?
I think it's like an event.
- An event? - Well, you see...
Being a cardiothoracic surgeon is hard work.
So medical students tend to avoid it.
Choosing a team to operate on the prime minister
will get them in the spotlight.
Then medical students might give it a second thought.
And as far as I've heard,
even the Blue House is paying attention to this event.
The Blue House?
I think you can understand that as the president being concerned about
- the prime minister's health as well. - I don't think so.
Right, they were rivals during their party elections.
But they're in the same party.
He's the prime minister now so they must be on good terms.
Let's stop talking about politics and move on.
I'll make sure you all get a nice juicy story.
Code blue, code blue. ICU, code blue.
Yes, Han Jae-jun speaking.
Clear.
Charge to 200.
Clear.
- What happened? - Ventricular fibrillation, Sir.
Step back.
Get him an ampule of epinephrine. Charge to 200!
Get him to the operation room.
What? It's not that serious.
Dr. Mun was there any mistake during the operation?
What happened?
We all make mistakes.
- Sir. - Mr. Oh.
Are you admitting the hospital made a mistake?
Shouldn't we save the patient first?
Sir, I can do it. I'll do it.
Get the team ready.
Okay, got it.
- Can you take it from here? - Yes, don't worry.
Okay, I'll be right there.
The anesthetist can't leave the OR during operation.
You have Dr. Choi. Right, Doctor?
Yes, Dr. Oh.
MYEONGWOO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
He's my patient. I'll operate on him.
This is my OR!
Leave.
Scalpel.
Sir, this was my one and only mistake.
Yes, but it happened in front of the journalists.
But being suspended and demoted, aren't those too...
Our hospital is to operate on Prime Minister Jang Seok-ju.
That is all the more reason I should lead the team.
I know very well you're good.
But you can't operate alone. You need a team.
- Sir. - If you want to get back what you lost,
then create a better team than Dr. Han's.
He has all the best doctors. I have no one left.
That's your problem.
SEOUL PENITENTIARY
Bro!
Isn't that too tough for a girl?
There you go.
You can't trick me twice. Let's go.
- What about the clinic's deposit? - I'm not renting it.
I told you I need the money.
Hey, I invested half of that money. Don't forget that.
Take half of it.
To go to China? And get caught on the way to North Korea?
What happened to your tone?
I'm practicing the Seoul accent. I have to make a living here.
Don't I sound like a Seoul citizen?
Yes, very much like it.
So bring me the deposit money.
You should stop. You've been to prison three times already.
You don't even know if she's dead or alive.
I was told that she was taken to North Korea alive.
So what? I've done everything to get my mother out and it was useless.
Where's your Seoul accent now?
Anyway, Mr. Lim is quitting being a broker for the defectors.
You know what? I don't trust him anymore.
There are loads of brokers out there. He was just too sloppy to get caught.
He said there's another way.
Another way?
What's the other way?
- Pay him and he'll deliver her. - Is your mother a water bottle?
I already paid him 30,000 dollars.
What? 30,000 dollars? You really gave that fraud 30 million won?
You really are crazy, aren't you?
We'll see if I'm crazy or not.
He asked me to tell you to bring him all the money you have.
So you better work hard. To that stationery store.
Gosh, I have to make money anyway.
I saw it first.
- I dropped it. - You're lying.
- What coin is it? - A 500 won coin.
Head or tail?
- Head. - Tail!
Tail, see?
The drawing is the head. Isn't it? Let me see.
- What happened to your finger? - Nothing. Just let go.
- It's broken. - It's fine.
You might end up losing it, so let's go to my hospital.
No.
Then pay for the treatment. That'll be 500 won.
- I never asked for it. - Either way, I treated you.
- Jung-min. - Dad.
Hey, give me back my 500 won.
You should be delivering, not playing with a girl.
Which side is the head of a coin?
Are you kidding me? Drawing, head. Number, tail.
That little...
GARIBONG CLINIC
Hey, you.
I told everyone you're seeing patients again.
So let's get it started.
I cleaned it and prepared your tools.
You, preparing everything? Yeah, right.
Did you bring these people in?
- I'll call you, Bro. - Hey.
- They must be patients. - Hey, Chang I. You...
Well, it feels like I'm Moses parting the Red Sea.
How can I help you?
Well...
I'm not here as a patient.
Then why are you in my clinic? Get out of here.
There is someone who needs your attention.
There is the patient. Why didn't you tell me so?
He has some unavoidable reasons, so he can't go to a hospital. Where'd you go?
What is the problem?
He's been having stabbing pains in the stomach since yesterday.
Let me see.
Goodness. There are too many doodles. No wonder he's so sick.
He has a fever.
Does this hurt?
He needs an operation right now.
It's appendicitis. He'll die if it explodes.
Boss, he'll operate on you.
You'll be fine soon.
I guess gangsters these days are making a good living.
Your clothes look so nice.
These are cheap clothes.
- Done. - Finished?
No, not yet. You have to pay me.
Making your presence felt as gangsters, aren't you?
You see this?
Okay, okay. How much is it?
That'll be 1.5 million won for the operation.
- Here. - No credit cards.
- Here, 1.5 million won. - Okay, sign it.
Sign it? Give me a pen.
Here.
- And it's 100,000 won per stitch. - What?
I think 10 stitches will do. So that would be a million won.
- Come on. - A million won?
Okay, one million won. Now stitch is up.
Oh, right. Give me another 500 won.
- For what? - Just pay when I tell you to.
Okay!
Here. 500 won. Take it!
- Okay, here we go. - Do it quickly.
Hey, my phone.
What a real pain in the ass.
Your phone.
Hey, what's up?
What?
Bro!
- They found your mother? - Well done, well then.
We found her. Give me the rest of the money.
Okay, here we go.
I got the money.
Mom!
Chang I!
- It's you. Chang I! - Mom.
Chang I.
Stop crying. You should take your mother somewhere nice
and treat her to good food.
You must tell Mr. Choi
that I am very thankful.
I am so thankful.
It's not Mr. Choi. He's Mr. Lim.
That's right. I'm Mr. Lim.
Come on, take her home.
Here.
- Let's go. - It feels like a dream.
Good work.
- But how? - It's very simple.
I first send this to the Chinese contacts.
Then they call their contacts in North Korea
and inform them that I've sent a certain amount.
Then that is when he finds the people we're looking for.
They have their own ways of smuggling people out.
Of course, they pay the North Koreans.
Socialism? Give me a break.
With enough money, you can even bring Kim Il Sung's statue over.
So the woman you're looking for
is called Song Jae Hui?
Did you find her?
- Did you find her? - Come on.
You know I only accept US dollars.
Did you find her or not?
I'm back, Sir.
- Sir? - It was so close.
Right, Mr. Kim?
But you are still the prime minister.
There's only one person above me.
Just like the prime minister of the Joseon dynasty.
People make songs and sing about the king.
But nobody cares who the prime minister is.
Sir, are you okay?
What about Park Hun?
He was released today.
- How is he doing? - Just like they predicted.
I never thought there would come a day
I'd be needing his help.
What a funny situation.
He was the best cardiothoracic surgeon in North Korea.
Well, yes. But he won't accept the offer so easily, will he?
Right, he won't.
This isn't enough to start the operation.
I'll make more and give you. Just tell me if you found her.
Fine. You're a doctor so I'm sure you'll make money.
- So this is her? - Yes.
Hun.
Jae Hui.
