Dr. Han Seung-hui.
Each person has a different heartbeat.
Just like how we all have different faces
each heartbeat is different.
What are you talking about?
It'll take a few seconds.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Apologize to her.
That's okay, Dr. Oh.
Are you crazy?
What?
There is one person with the same heartbeat as yours in this world.
And that person is your destiny.
Really?
Then Dr. Han...
- I'm just messing with you. - What?
Even if that's true, she's not the one.
Wait a second.
Maybe you're my destiny.
Shall we listen to our heartbeats and see if we're for each other?
That was not funny!
MYEONGWOO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
I'm really sorry. I mistook you for someone else.
-Hello, this is Han Seung-hui. - Hello, this is Oh Su-hyeon.
-Okay. - Okay.
Please act like a doctor.
Let's go.
-Where to? - To the emergency room.
-I'm not going. - Just listen to me. Come.
Hey!
Here. Done.
There should be no problem with this.
Come on, we did it to see if she was a spy.
You really are so naive.
She would have fabricated this if she really was a spy.
- A fake report? - If the spy has one kidney,
- she'd turn in a fake report. - You're right.
Her blood pressure is unstable. More saline solution and blood.
Okay.
We have a problem. There's too much air leakage and bleeding.
She might lose the baby if the blood pressure keeps dropping.
What?
The air in her lungs is pressing on her heart
which is making the blood pressure drop.
Then take the air out.
What? There's too much air leakage and bleeding?
AIR LEAK: LEAKAGE OF AIR
- Check for lung lacerations. - Her lung tissue is torn.
She needs a CT scan.
It will be too late if she really has a laceration.
Low blood pressure means low blood supply to the fetus.
She might lose her baby or it might lead to brain damage.
If we're not careful, the baby might end up having a disability.
EMERGENCY OPERATING ROOM
You're the anesthetist, right?
Let's take her to the operating room.
He should be more polite to us, shouldn't he?
I think he's cool.
What's so cool about him?
You can start.
EMERGENCY OPERATING ROOM
Scalpel.
You, Anesthetist. Keep checking her blood pressure.
Don't worry.
- Quack, you're the assistant? - Would you stop calling me that?
Stay focused.
She anesthetized her in five minutes.
It's hard to anesthetize a pregnant woman but she's good.
She would have been perfect for our team if only she wasn't a spy.
A spy?
It makes sense. But if she really is a spy,
she'd easily be able to manipulate the report.
Exactly. Is there any way to check?
- Well, there is. - There is?
But...
can I get my salary this month?
Dr. Han didn't take care of that?
He's supposed to pay the fellow surgeons.
I think he left me out because I'm in your team.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
So tell me how we can get it checked.
We can ask her to get a new medical check-up from this hospital.
CT scan is in the list so we'll know when the result it out.
Right. You're right.
Let's do that.
Blood pressure is dropping!
I got it.
Saturated oxygen level is only 90. Isn't it blocked?
- It's not. - Then why isn't it going up?
- Ninety is okay. - Are you stupid? She's a pregnant woman.
- Even 100 might not be enough. - I wish I could make it go up.
But her lung capacity is too low because she's pregnant.
Her other lung isn't good.
Will that be your excuse after she's dead?
Dr. Park.
Perform two-lung ventilation.
Will you be okay? You won't be able to see clearly.
I can do it.
I'll try one-lung ventilation again.
We removed the blood clot. So she'll be fine.
You were too harsh.
- She's new here. - You think the patient would care?
More to the left.
Cut her some slack. It's like you're upset she's not the one you've been looking for.
- Just call obstetrics. - To deliver the baby?
She's going to need a c-section anyways. I think it'll be better to do it now.
Stop the one-lung ventilation.
No bubbles. It's been sutured.
Suction.
They're twins.
EMERGENCY OPERATING ROOM
-Can you drain it? - Don't worry. Good job.
- A new medical check-up? - Yes.
Have her get a check-up again and send me the report.
I might go to jail because of this.
We should already be in jail.
Do it or we'll both go to jail. I'm telling everyone.
But...
Should we get HR involved? Or call the police right now?
What?
Just do it.
What happened?
Why...
They were twins, Jae-jun.
I'm sure you've experienced this quite often.
It feels nice when the patient looks at you after the surgery.
But you also feel
some responsibility.
Sometimes it's like a burden.
I guess so.
Anyway, Dr. Park did a great job.
I'm glad he's working with us.
I'll go and check my patient.
Su-hyeon, you also did a good job.
- But I'd like you to remember this. - What?
That you are
the most important surgeon on my team.
Of course, I know that. I have to go.
Dr. Han will be a great anesthetist in our team. You agree, don't you?
She's not bad.
You have to understand that I'm in this huge dilemma.
You will hate it if she's Dr. Han, but I'll be very happy.
You'll be happy if she's Jae Hui, but it'll be over for me.
That would mean you're also a spy.
You're not, are you?
We already confirmed that she's not Jae Hui.
Because she has two kidneys?
If she's a spy,
she'd have easily manipulated the report.
So let's get this done.
We'll check it again today.
I already submitted my report.
Why should I have a new one?
I'm sorry, but those are the rules.
We need to have you get a check-up here.
We might really end up in jail.
There's no going back now. It's all in or nothing.
She's undergoing a new check-up.
Blood tests, eyesight test, everything.
This will point to the truth. She was checked here today.
- A medical check-up? - Yes.
- You already submitted one. - They asked me to have a new one.
- Did you do it? - Yes.
This is a bit unexpected, but just be aware that
medical records can serve as important personal information.
- Even in South Korea. - Dr. Han.
I'll call you again later.
What is it?
We have to check if you're a spy or not.
What do you mean?
Dr. Park's girlfriend has only one kidney, right?
If results show that you have one kidney, that proves you're his girlfriend.
Which, unfortunately, would also mean that you're a spy.
If it turns out that you have two kidneys,
in that case, I'll have to apologize.
Let's take a look.
Is that my medical record?
It's what my master wants so just let him check.
Don't you know that accessing medical records without permission is illegal?
What are you doing?
- Hey. - Let go!
Let him do it.
Good.
What are you doing?
Byeong-cheol.
Give me that CD.
But I have to check something.
You can't access it without permission!
Give it to me.
What are you doing?
Hun!
She has two.
I'm not going to let you get away with this.
Dr. Han.
Let me apologize on their behalf.
Please, don't report it.
How could they go through my medical record without my permission?
They're doctors, they should know better.
I'll apologize instead. Please do me a favor.
Dr. Han,
I am very sorry.
- I'm sorry so just let it go. - Yes.
Please, forgive us just this once.
But...
Dr. Han.
Dr. Han!
Hey, Chang I. What are you doing here?
Money doesn't grow on trees. Plus I have to pay for Mom's treatment.
Goodness.
What are you doing? Why are you taking it off?
I have to go to my second job. It's right across the street.
Really?
What else are you wearing?
The sauna uniform. You want to see more?
No, thanks. Give me the truck key.
- Are you going somewhere, Bro? - To my clinic.
- Do you want me to drive you there? - No, you have work to go to.
- Ma'am, enjoy your food. - Thank you.
I'm leaving.
- Why do you call him "Bro"? - What's wrong with that?
You're a girl. Behave like one.
Don't behave like a boy.
- I feel comfortable that way. - Comfortable? How?
Don't mind me. Are you not going to eat that? I'll have it then.
So this is your clinic.
What are you doing here?
I'm going to China in a few days.
Don't go.
Someone in China will take me to North Korea.
I'll find Jae Hui myself.
So don't meddle with it anymore.
- I must tell you something. - I don't want to know.
It's about your father.
The reason why he had to go to North Korea.
LAWSUIT
"Lawsuit. Plaintiff, Park Cheol. Defendant, Myeongwoo Hospital?"
You'll also get a call next week.
Dr. Park,
do you really have to do this?
The patient died during the operation.
Anyone can make mistakes.
My friend,
why do you think people call us doctors?
Because we are not allowed to make even a single mistake.
- We deal with people's lives. - But Dr. Park...
They're not saying who performed the surgery.
So tell him to feel
the weight of his operating gown.
I will be held responsible for this so please, Mr. Oh.
Responsible for what?
That happened during my operation. I will admit malpractice and--
Then what about Myeongwoo Hospital?
We're this close to being approved as a medical university.
We can get the approval next year.
Dr. Choi!
You promised me!
We agreed to make Myeongwoo the best hospital in Korea.
Did you forget that?
I must do this to keep that promise.
We'll be screwed if we don't get approval within this year!
- How will you keep that promise? - Please, Mr. Oh.
Oh, here you are.
How are you? It's been a long time.
I want to help you keep your promise.
What do you mean?
North Korea asked us for
a good cardiothoracic surgeon.
Really? That's good news.
Dr. Choi is the best there is.
It's an unofficial request,
so it won't help you in your PR.
Moreover, Dr. Choi is my doctor. You should take care of me.
If we add up the financial support you've been giving us every year,
it's equivalent to the cost of several buildings.
Life is about give and take, isn't it?
They need a doctor that can fix Kim Il Sung's heart.
Kim Il Sung?
But if you go,
you might not be able to come back for a while.
- Then... - Yes, I'll convince Dr. Park Cheol.
The malpractice lawsuit will be put on hold.
In the meantime, you can get your hospital licensing approved
and also settle the lawsuit.
Thank you, Mr. Jang.
But Dr. Choi, you must help me.
It's a severe angiostenosis in the coronary arteries.
He won't survive more than a month if no measures are taken.
He can't come here.
- Then this is... - Yes, that's Kim Il Sung's heart.
I told you I can't explain it now.
I'm getting married in a few days.
I can't take care of him right now.
I know it's not easy for you. But Hun is your son too.
I want everything that has to do with you gone from my life including Hun.
- You're his mother. - I'm sick and tired of it.
Don't ever call me again.
Yes, it's only for a week. His mother will pick him up.
What's going on?
I'll explain later. Please take good care of Hun.
You don't have to worry, Dr. Choi.
I will be
responsible for
their lives.
Liar.
Be responsible for our lives?
We worked very hard to
get you back here.
You worked hard to bring us back? You wanted us dead.
What do you mean
we wanted you dead?
Don't pretend you don't know. I heard it myself.
The North Koreans lied to you. That's not possible.
That's bullshit!
I can't force you to
believe me.
Somebody had to go. If not...
there would have been war.
He went there to save a patient.
And you took advantage of him.
You sent him and me there because of your greed.
And you threw us out like we were garbage.
We were abandoned.
Do you know what kind of life we had in that strange place?
- But your father made you a doctor. - A doctor?
Do I look like
a doctor to you?
Hun.
Yes,
my father wanted me to be a doctor.
He said I wouldn't have to kill anyone as long as I'm a doctor.
But he was wrong.
In...
In there...
In there, even doctors kill people.
Yes, it's true. I killed a lot of people.
I've killed countless people.
That's not what doctors do.
I cut people up because they told me to. I was like a killing machine.
I see.
I understand why you feel
like that.
But no matter what, you are a doctor.
If you know why your father wanted you to be a doctor, you--
Shut up!
You know nothing
about how my father felt.
He took the bullet
for a pathetic person like me because he wanted me to be a doctor.
You don't know how he felt.
And you have no idea how I, his pathetic son, felt
when I could do nothing but leave him there.
Leave.
I wasn't able to find
his body.
Hun!
Hun.
Dad.
Father.
GARIBONG CLINIC
Thank you for bringing me his belongings.
- But don't bother me again. - Hun.
What happened to them?
The man died
and his wife died soon after.
- They had a son. - He's an orphan because of you.
I heard he was adopted by an American family.
I'm going to look for him after I first find Jae Hui.
I'll find her myself.
So you find him and ask him for forgiveness.
- Hun. - Go to America, not North Korea.
Stay out of my business.
LAWSUIT
Jae-jun.
I thought you'd be busy.
My father wanted to see me. He asked you to come too?
I guess he wants to talk to us.
Jae-jun.
Yes?
What's wrong?
Don't move.
We're here.
- Do you believe in destiny? - Destiny?
Do you believe in it?
I know, it's silly.
You probably guessed why I wanted to see you two together.
I think you should be thinking of marriage.
You believe in destiny, don't you?
Destiny? What do you mean?
You said you felt it when you first saw Mom.
Thank you for considering me as a good candidate for your daughter.
But I think we should be making that decision ourselves.
Did anything happen between you two?
No. I like Jae-jun.
And he likes me too. Right?
But we'd like to have more time to think about marriage.
Yes?
Okay.
- Can I leave, Father? - Yes.
You're going to the hospital?
Yes, the hospital called.
- Do you want me to give you a ride? - And leave Father alone?
Su-hyeon.
The destiny I believe is not about believing in it.
I think we make
our own destinies.
I knew you'd say that.
I have to go.
I must be crazy.
You'll marry Su-hyeon, won't you?
- Of course. - Take charge of Myeongwoo.
I'm offering you all I have.
Hey, Jae-jun.
I thought you'd be at the hospital.
I'm sorry. I had to drop by somewhere.
- Someone else might sign it. - Okay.
Are you at the hospital?
Yes.
Are you coming here?
No, I'm going home. Why?
I just felt lonely when you left.
And I wanted to discuss with you on the team setup.
Let's talk about it tomorrow. Okay?
Okay. Drive home safely.
Father. Mother.
I'm almost there.
Wait just a little longer.
Dr. Han, please. I'm begging you.
Come on. Forgive me.
I told you I won't report it.
I'm really grateful for that.
But I'll only feel forgiven if you join my team.
Just because I let this slide doesn't mean I want to forgive you.
- Dr. Han, please. - I'm sorry.
I might join an operation with you and Dr. Park.
But I'm not interested in joining any operating team.
Wait, Dr. Han.
You really don't know how I feel?
I really need you.
- Gosh. Dr. Han. - Stop.
- What is it? - Look at yourself.
- What about it? - She's young enough to be your daughter.
Here you are proposing to her in public when you're a married man.
Can't a married guy even profess his love?
It's none of your business.
- Dr. Han! - Okay. Why not?
That's good news. No more team stuff, huh?
I'm not going to give up.
We can't form a team without a good anesthetist.
You have to pay some of it at least. It's one week overdue.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to get the money.
Please give me more time.
I'd like to give you more time but--
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Is being sick a sin?
Don't be sorry.
Let's go. I'll change your bandage.
Come on. Let's go. Dr. Mun!
Goodness.
It's hard to be a good parent without money.
I need the blood culture results of the patient in room 1102.
- The twins are sick? - Yes, Doctor.
But I'm unable to pay for treatment.
I'll go and check on them, so make sure you stay in bed.
Hey, that's not the issue right now. They'll soon choose the operating team.
A doctor's priority is his patient.
I'm also a patient.
I'm dying inside because of you.
Take care of yourself first so you can be there for the twins.
Hey!
Why are you so obsessed about that operating team?
I have to defeat Han Jae-jun
and become a director again.
- Like that's a big deal. - Of course, it is.
Only directors of cardiothoracic surgery can rise to that position.
Mr. Oh and Byeong-cheol were once directors themselves.
You have a lot of money already and you still want the title?
That's my dream.
So what?
- That can't be a dream. - It can.
My father was
a salesman in a pharmaceutical company for 30 years.
He had to always beg to doctors.
And do you know what he told me when he was dying?
"Hyeong-uk.
You must become
the chairman of a hospital.
So that
all the doctors can bow
at my grave."
That's what he said.
- That's not the only reason, is it? - Of course not.
Do you know how much the chairman makes?
No, I mean...
It was my father's last wish.
Okay, Master.
We'll look for another anesthetist.
I don't want another one.
We need the best. Only the best.
You perform the surgery and Han Seung-hui anesthetizes.
Just who are we operating on that you want only the best?
Prime Minister Jang Seok-ju.
- Who? - Prime Minister Jang Seok-ju.
Yes, the prime minister.
LEE BOK-HEE
Very good.
- I'd like to meet them. - Personally, Sir?
That would be too risky. There are too many eyes watching us.
My political career,
no, my life is in their hands.
I must take such a risk.
Let me tell you
what cardiothoracic surgeons joke about.
"By the time we retire,
no doctors will be left to fix our hearts.
So if any of us has a heart problem,
we have no other option but to jump off a bridge."
It's a joke but it's also the cold, hard reality.
With fewer and fewer cardiothoracic surgeons,
more and more people will inevitably be affected.
Does the president know that an operating team is going to be selected?
Of course.
I'm sure the president wants to know
which team will treat me.
Do you have any hospital in mind?
We have chosen Jeil, Dongwoon, Minguk
and Myeongwoo Hospitals as potential candidates.
Myeongwoo Hospital?
What criteria will you be basing your evaluation on?
Financial solidity and ethics.
Patient satisfaction as well.
We're talking about a team that will be operating on the prime minister.
The hospital with the best team will be selected.
Ten billion won as medical funds
and 15 billion won to ease the imbalance of health care services.
Successfully operating on the prime minister would boost the hospital's image,
resulting to 100 billion won worth of economic benefit.
It's a good chance for us to jump up to the next level.
So I expect everyone's active cooperation.
Will Dr. Han's team be representing our hospital?
No, we have two teams that are competing against each other.
Two teams?
- Two teams? - Yes.
The first team will be lead by Director Han Jae-jun.
Irrigation.
Suction.
They're taking photos because we'll be the selected team.
- Then smile for the camera. - We're wearing masks.
Then wave your hands.
Do we have another team other than Dr. Han's?
Yes, it's Doctor Park Hun's team.
- Park Hun? - Who?
Father, he is a North Korean defector.
- His skills matter, not his origin. - But...
Any good doctor can represent our hospital.
Represent our hospital? Don't make me laugh.
You of all people can't do this to me.
If your team is selected,
you will be recognized as the best doctor in Korea.
- What's up your sleeve this time? - Hun.
Then how can you ask me to operate on him?
You know what my dad and I went through because of that man.
I should be killing him not treating him.
Your father treated
Kim Il Sung.
- I'm not my father. - You are a doctor like him!
Well, you know what? I
don't give a damn.
Hun!
Hun.
I won't do it. I'm not going to pretend to be a doctor for him.
Hey, Park Hun. Hey!
- What is this? - My white flag.
We haven't even started yet.
Who cares?
It's funny.
A competition between doctors that cure people.
- It's not like we're knights. - That's why I'm not doing it.
Still, I looked forward to it.
By going against the great Park Hun,
I was curious to see the outcome of the competition.
Well, I'm terribly sorry for disappointing you.
It's not because you're afraid of losing, is it?
Think whatever you want. You win.
What? He didn't win.
Listen, we're not surrendering. We are not!
Hey, Hun!
Hey!
- What happened? - Oh, my goodness.
- Are you okay? - Go to room 1129.
Ma'am, please calm down. Please drop the scalpel.
We'll die anyway if you kick us out of here.
- No, we can help you get-- - That won't do.
- Ma'am. - Doctor, don't come.
I'm going to die with my kids.
What happened?
- The twins have cardiac anomalies. - What?
- Why did you get yourself involved? - I'm sorry. But the kids...
Who will take care of our kid if anything happens to you?
- I need the chart of the twins. - There, it's on the monitor.
We would have known if she had taken an ultrasound when she was pregnant.
She probably couldn't afford to get one.
The arterial tube is almost blocked
and the hole in the atrial septum is too small.
If it's too small, that means it's a dangerous situation, right?
She used to work in the operating room.
- Prepare for an operation. - What operation?
Oh, there you are.
Why did you want to see me?
- Tell the directors to gather. - Yes, Sir.
- We have a VIP visiting? - Let's go. It's someone you know.
Kick the patient out?
She's thousands of dollars in debt after the operations.
- We did all we could. - The babies need treatment.
The operation costs 30 million won. That would be 60 million won for two.
- Are you going to pay for that? - That's your reason for kicking them out?
Nobody is kicking them out.
We'll just let the police take care of it.
- The police? - She threatened us, didn't she?
Did she hurt you?
We'll let them go and the police will solve it.
What's going on?
Oh my god!
Hello. Good to see you.
What should we do? The baby isn't moving.
- Let me check your baby. - Don't come closer. We'll die here.
Nobody is dying here!
The baby is not breathing.
- Get me the intubation kit. - Yes, Doctor.
- Don't let him in here. - What are you talking about?
Are you going to let him call the police so they're taken away?
- Get out of my way! - The patient is being treated.
- It's a hostage situation. - I told you he's being treated.
- Stop messing around. Get inside. - Yes, Sir.
This is Oh Su-hyeon you're going up against.
Move one step closer and I'll make you regret it.
I can't feel his pulse. He needs to go to the Intensive Care Unit.
Your mom is here.
Now you act like a doctor.
Doctor Park Hun.
You're not stopping me. Get out of the way!
- Get out! - What are you doing?
- Move the babies to the ICU. - You heard him.
- Dr. Park, we need to talk. - I have a place to go to. Laters.
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON PARK HUN
- Doctor Park Hun gave up? - Yes, that's what he just said.
Well, that doesn't matter.
We have Doctor Han Jae-jun.
- Well, yes. - Would you just let me in?
- You can't come in. - That's okay.
Doctor Park Hun?
- What is it? - You have something of mine.
I thought you gave up.
On one condition.
- What condition? - That competition or whatever you call it.
Have the hospital pay for the competition.
- Is that all you want? - I'll take that as a yes.
I have high hopes for you.
