Yes.
I am the Lee Sung-hun
you knew from 20 years ago.
Thank you for making
my life worth living.
Mr. Oh Jun-gyu.
You... How dare you!
- Bring the key! - Okay.
Father. Father, are you okay?
Jae-jun!
Father!
- Get an OR ready. - Okay.
What have you done? What did you do to him?
Father.
Take him quickly.
I will never forgive you.
Never.
We're almost done. You can leave.
He's fine so don't worry.
Your standing there isn't helping.
Okay.
How is he?
He'll be fine.
Although you probably won't be happy about it.
Is this what you had in mind all along?
Tell me! Was it your plan to get him killed?
I didn't know he would collapse.
Don't lie.
- Then why did you lock the door? - I didn't want to be interrupted.
Doing what?
Killing my father?
- Su-hyeon. - What was it then?
I told you.
- All I wanted was his apology. - Give me a break.
If I didn't break in, he would have died because of you.
You are a doctor.
How can you be so cruel?
He was dying in front of your eyes!
You're not a doctor. You're a murderer.
You're right, I'm not a doctor.
I'm a murderer who was blinded by revenge.
But can't you understand me?
Understand you?
That is how I felt 20 years ago when I lost my parents.
I'm asking you to understand why I did it
and why I had to be cruel.
This is what you do to me
and you ask for my understanding?
Well, I can't.
I want you to leave Myeongwoo.
Right now.
Okay.
Thank you.
He could have died if he didn't get a CPR.
Gosh.
Jae-jun.
I've heard some strange rumors. They're not true, are they?
What rumors?
They're saying you're the son of a man who died from malpractice.
And they say you took revenge on the chairman, but...
It's true.
What?
They aren't just rumors. It's true.
But...
I'm leaving.
This never was my place.
I hope the best for you.
Be a good doctor.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
What are you doing here?
I resigned.
Then leave.
Don't ever show up again.
Don't come anywhere close to Myeongwoo.
He'll wake up soon.
Thank you.
Why did you do that?
I waited 20 years for that moment.
So,
are you satisfied now?
No, my revenge failed.
You didn't fail. You gave up because you love her.
- I didn't give up. - You don't have to lie.
I know you did CPR on him to save him.
Tell her the truth and ask for her forgiveness.
Or she will blame you for the rest of her life.
I'm actually glad this happened.
She'll be able to forget me now.
I'm leaving. I just came to say goodbye.
You're leaving?
I can't be
a doctor anymore.
- Why? - I don't deserve it.
I became a doctor to take revenge.
Saving patients was never on my mind.
At first, I thought you were the stranger here.
But now I realize that
the real stranger
was me.
You helped me see that.
A doctor who doesn't respect patients
is only a stranger.
Then you should stay here.
Because there will come a time when she will understand you.
I can't forgive myself.
And I'm not coming back.
So I need you to do me a favor.
What favor?
Su-hyeon
truly likes you.
I'm sorry but I found Jae Hui.
I can't give you the details but I found her.
So I can't love anyone else and I have no time for that either.
I can't do you that favor.
Then do me this favor.
Take good care of her
as a friend.
As a friend?
Please.
Father. Father, are you okay?
What is it? Who do you want to see?
Dr. Han.
Where is he?
He's gone.
Bring him here.
I have to talk to him.
You don't have to.
He left you on the floor.
He didn't.
He saved me.
For the sake of Su-hyeon.
Find him and bring him here.
No, he couldn't have done that.
Listen to me.
He didn't tell me anything.
Bring him.
You're lying.
Come on.
The number you dialed...
OH SU-HYEON
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON HAN JAE-JUN
Jae-jun!
I'm sorry.
And Mr. Oh is recovering in the ICU.
He got bitten by Han Jae-jun.
They will soon name another acting chairman.
They must. Our VIP's operation is just around the corner.
We need a leader here.
You didn't find the body?
He was shot. You must find his body.
Yes, Sir.
Cha Jin Su might be alive. So be more careful.
Yes, Sir.
I don't feel at complete ease to act on my sick father's behalf.
However, as the acting chairman, I'll do my best so that he can be proud of us
when he returns.
CHAIRMAN OH JUN-GYU
Check how many doctors we need and inform that to the branch.
Got it.
Oh wait, you're the acting chairman. I'll do as you say, Ma'am.
You can treat me like you used to.
Am I the director of our ward?
Yes.
I'm really sorry about Dr. Han.
- You may leave. - Okay.
DIRECTOR OF CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY MUN HYEONG-UK
It's finally come back to its place.
I'm so overwhelmed.
- Congratulations, Dr. Mun. - Thanks.
Can we finish it now?
Can't you just let me enjoy it? It's a very touching moment.
Give me a break here.
Let's give him a round of applause.
Thanks.
After we finish operating on the prime minister,
we will get the attention of many people.
As well as a huge amount of research fund.
What are you doing?
Sorry, it's because I worked overnight. Keep going.
So as the director of this ward,
I feel great responsibility.
So you must help me and make our department
the face of Myeongwoo Hospital, okay?
QUACK
You get me, right? Hey, where are you going?
What did Jae Hui tell you?
Did you really transplant her father's kidney to save her?
If that's true, that means she really loves you.
She knew about it but she still came to you.
What do you mean? So she knew already?
She said that's why she wasn't ready to see you.
And she said that you like me.
I told you I don't and that I'm sorry.
Thank you for the reminder, but what I'm trying to say here is
that she's trying to push you away.
Why did you lie to me?
Lie to you?
You already knew your new kidney was your father's.
When I found out isn't what's important.
You said you can't forgive me because you just found out.
And you asked Su-hyeon to take care of me.
You're trying to push me away.
You are pretending to be mad at me to push me away.
Yes, I'm trying to push you away.
- Why? - I told you.
I realized your love was a lie.
You're mistaking guilt and obligation for love.
- Jae Hui. - Don't call me like that.
Do you know what it feels like
to be living every day
with a part of your dead father physically inside you?
I want to let go but I can't.
He's part of me. How am I supposed to forget that?
I live with the guilt every single day of my life.
But what hurts me more
is that you caused this.
Do you still not get it?
Then let me make this clear for you.
I've never
truly loved you.
Now please leave.
Then what's this?
I won't be able to forget
the past month I spent with you.
Especially that moment
you hugged me in the office.
I was so happy you did that.
Even when I didn't say anything and even though I denied it,
I could tell that you recognized me.
Listen!
Hun.
I'm doing this alone for the sake of your mother.
If anything goes wrong while you're operating on him,
there will be no one left to take care of her.
Now look me in the eye and say it.
Are you sure you don't love me?
Yes.
Say it again.
Are you sure?
Tell me.
Do you mean that?
Fine, I like you! I love you.
I've never stopped loving you. I had a hard time pretending.
I thought about you every day.
Every day I dreamed of happily living with you.
Then why did you do that?
I thought I was stopping you
from being a doctor.
I thought I had to let you go
so things could be easier for you.
And that you could be safe.
I'm sorry.
I never thought I'd put you in danger.
It's not your fault.
I made a wrong choice.
A wrong choice?
And I regret it so much.
You want to meet Park Hun, don't you?
I didn't know that my choice would put you in danger.
I couldn't afford to think about anything else.
I just missed you so much.
I'm sorry, Hun.
I really...
didn't know this would happen.
Just once...
I just wanted to see you
one more time.
The prime minister is threatening you and your mother?
I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. I'm sorry.
No. I was stupid to think he'd just let you go.
I'm going to meet his secretary, Mr. Kim, tomorrow.
Jang Seok-ju's secretary?
We might have a way out if I manage to convince him.
You think you can?
I have to try, at least.
Okay.
You want me to betray the prime minister?
He doesn't deserve to be the leader of a country.
And you know that better than anyone.
If you agree to help me, I have a plan to stop him.
I work for the government but I am a soldier.
There are things you can't buy with money from a soldier.
Do you know what that is?
Loyalty.
That's for everyone who works for him.
Do you think he acknowledges that?
He wouldn't have kept me by his side for over 20 years if he didn't.
If your loyalty
is so noble,
why did you save me and take care of my mother?
Because he told you to?
I considered it a debt.
We didn't have this talk.
So stop thinking about it.
And get ready for the operation.
Yes, Jang Seok-ju speaking.
It's the VIP room, Sir.
Yes, Mr. President.
How are you feeling?
Well, it's not that bad.
I'm going to visit you tomorrow.
- Tomorrow, Sir? - Yes.
I can't ignore my sick prime minister, can I?
I understand, Sir.
Soon. Very soon.
OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FOR THE PRIME MINISTER
SUPPORT OF THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
I guess you could get what you want if the elections happened right now.
The elections
are against the law of nature where the strong defeat the weak.
An act of defiance.
It's a way through which the bewildered herd throws its trash.
You don't need this support to win.
You need money to clean all the trash they throw.
Or you need a very interesting happening that will make them
forget about cleaning.
Like a South-North summit?
Exactly.
Why are you here? You didn't come to listen to my political views.
Release Park Hun's mother.
And why should I listen to you?
Because if you don't,
I will not treat
the president.
Oh, really?
You need the carrot and the stick to make the horse run.
He almost died several times because of your whim.
And you can't threaten him any more.
The stick won't work so he needs a carrot?
You just have to send his mother back to him.
And you can still keep an eye on her.
I feel like it's checkmate.
Don't forget.
Now you only have
Park Hun
as your option.
The president is coming?
Yes, he's coming tomorrow to visit the prime minister.
He might want to meet us so you'd better get ready.
It will be the honor of my family to meet the president personally.
No, wait.
I'll ask him to take a photo with me.
HAN SEUNG-HUI
Hey, what's up?
Can you come home?
What's going on?
Your mother is here.
Mom.
The table looks better than the other day, right?
Thank you.
She's Jae Hui. My girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Isn't she pretty?
She is.
You're beautiful too.
Of course. She's my mom.
See you later.
You'll talk to the president?
It's a good chance. If we tell him about Jang Seok-ju's plan
he will make sure we are safe.
But Jang Seok-ju's men will be watching us.
And he has his own bodyguards. How will you approach him?
I'll take care of the bodyguards. I need you to talk to Quack.
To Dr. Oh?
I need her help to meet the president.
How do you feel?
It's a little stuffy being here when I'm not sick.
But what brought you here? We could have talked on the phone.
I wanted to meet someone.
Who?
Dr. Park Hun.
Dr. Park Hun?
Yes.
He will operate on my heart.
So I must meet him, at least.
He doesn't know he'll be operating on you.
We made it confidential. If rumors spread,
we might have a problem.
I see.
Then I'll just take a look around the hospital.
Yes, please do that. I'll get everyone ready.
Have your eyes on Park Hun and Han Seung-hui.
Yes, Sir.
No. We can't let them meet and talk to each other.
- You take care of it yourself. - Yes, Sir.
Since when did you start working here?
After I finished my studies. It's this way, Sir.
What?
You lost him?
I'm sorry, Sir.
Where is the president?
Hun has a good reason to meet the president.
I don't think he'll have a chance to meet him privately.
Please. It's very important.
What's going on?
It won't hurt the hospital so please, do me this favor.
So this is where the doctors stay?
Yes, I'll show you around.
Protect him!
I'm Park Hun, Mr. President.
The doctor that will operate on the prime minister, right?
I must speak to you.
To me?
I wish to talk to you in private.
I'm afraid that's not possible.
It's okay. Tell me what's going on.
Okay.
The operation on the prime minister--
Sir, there you are!
Mr. Jang.
You met already?
He will be performing my surgery, Sir.
His mother is sick but he still comes to the hospital
so that he's ready at all times.
I see.
Anyway, I'm sure the prime minister is in good hands.
Get your hands off of him.
I'm sorry, Sir.
I waited ten years for this and you almost ruined it!
- I'm sorry, Sir. - I don't want your apology!
You did that on purpose, didn't you?
You let him go on purpose.
- Sir... - Then
how did you lose him?
For some reason, I always felt that you were protecting him.
I told you to kill him and you saved him.
You even took care of his mother when I asked you to kill her!
I didn't think it was necessary.
Shut up!
You've been saying things to the prosecution, haven't you?
They told me everything!
Sir,
I've worked for you for more than 20 years.
- I've been loyal-- - Loyal?
Let's be honest. Be honest with yourself.
You're only doing this to become the chief officer of the presidential security!
Sir.
Then do it right!
I don't care if that is what you're after.
But do your job until that happens! You get it?
Yes, Mr. President.
How about we go with Minguk Hospital instead?
But the operation is next week...
Their chairman is ill and his son was arrested.
But we already decided to...
Anyway, we'll reconsider the matter.
Was it necessary to kill him?
It was for a greater cause.
This case has nothing to do with the prime minister.
You've been saying things to the prosecution, haven't you?
They told me everything!
I'm back from school.
Jang Seok-ju saw you?
Did you get to tell him anything?
Nothing.
Aren't you even worried?
The president might change the hospital to Minguk.
He won't.
What?
He can't change hospitals.
I'm the only one that can operate on him.
What do you mean?
You'll understand soon.
But I need your help.
- My help? What is it? - Listen.
What did you tell him?
Did anything happen?
What did you tell him that he wants to change hospitals?
He won't change hospitals.
And his heart won't last more than a week.
I'm sorry, Sir.
Your heart won't last more than a week.
You might need to consider a transplant.
He needs a transplant but he must have a reason why he can't.
He probably has a disease
that doesn't allow him to take immunosuppressants.
You said I'd die if I took immunosuppressant drugs.
There must be some other way.
-Batista procedure might work. - The chances are too low.
- Then I have no other option? - There is one, Sir.
There is a procedure that will work for your heart.
But nobody practices it now.
What is that procedure?
It's SAVER.
I've looked into journals published during the last ten years.
I found no successful case, let alone a clinical case.
We do have a case.
I know someone that can do it.
He needs SAVER to survive.
What if you're wrong?
He will call you.
Don't try to fool me.
Yes, Sir.
It's me, Mr. Jang.
Yes, Sir. How can I help you?
I think I'll stick to Myeongwoo.
Jae Hui.
How did it go?
The president will come here.
We're almost there.
Everything is going to be okay.
I guess we can tell him the truth now.
Yes, Sir.
Actually, you won't operate on the prime minister.
You'll operate on me.
That procedure you performed recently...
SAVER.
Yes, Sir.
Is that patient all right?
Of course, Sir.
RESTRICTED DOCUMENT
Do you think you can perform SAVER on me?
Your left ventricle is ballooning. It's called ventricular aneurysm.
I've been told that many times.
I want you to tell me what my chances are.
I can't say it's 100%.
I hate it when doctors say that.
You say you'll do your best
but nothing is certain.
Only God can tell you a procedure will be 100% successful.
No special treatment for being the president?
All patients in the OR are treated the same.
You are a doctor, indeed.
Then may I know what you wanted to tell me the other day?
The chief bodyguard and three more men are inside the facility.
Another team is standing by outside.
How is he?
His condition is more serious than we expected.
We will fix the date.
Yes, Sir.
I trust I'm in good hands.
- Sir! - Can you hold me?
Help him.
Dr. Park.
I trust you.
EMERGENCY BUTTON
Take him to the operation room.
We have an emergency.
Mr. Jeong?
Do you know what Article 71 of the Constitution is?
As of today, until the president wakes up,
I, the prime minister, will be the acting president
as per Article 71 of the Constitution.
Call the secretary and ministers and gather them in the Blue House.
Do we inform them on the president's condition?
Keep it confidential for now.
Yes, Sir.
Doctor, what's going on?
We need to hurry up.
- What happened? - Enough with the talk
- and stay focused. - Okay.
Hurry up.
We're ready.
We will perform SAVER.
Scalpel.
What do you mean the president has collapsed?
He's in an emergency operation.
Where is he?
He's in Myeongwoo Hospital.
What if something happens to him?
What do you mean by that?
Don't you get what he's asking?
What if he dies during the operation?
Is that what you're wishing for?
Gentlemen, please. Calm down.
Isn't it obvious?
We will proceed according to the Constitution.
If the presidency becomes vacant,
the prime minister acts on his behalf.
NEW MESSAGE
The operation was successful.
If it reads 40 to 60, he's still anesthetized.
If it reaches 80, it means he's conscious.
If this condition continues, his position will be vacant.
But if it goes up to 80 and comes down to 40 or 60,
he will be considered to be in a coma.
You know what?
Do you know who my favorite king of Joseon is?
It's Sejo.
The seventh king of Joseon.
You know, the guy that killed his nephew to become a king.
He was very wise. Wise about what?
He knew who was weak and who was strong.
I'm not talking about physical strength.
The one that crushes the weak is regarded as the strong man.
He was his nephew, but who cares?
You must be ruthless when you have the power to trample on the weak.
That's how the world works.
But our president didn't know that.
You were so naive.
You should have gotten rid of me when you had the chance.
But no, you put a leash on me
to make me do whatever you wanted. You thought I'd listen to you?
You thought wrong.
We will soon hold
the presidential elections.
Have a good rest until then.
I'll hold a summit with the North Koreans
and make our ignorant people get excited.
Then I'll make sure
that you get your eternal rest.
Do you get me?
