(Doldam Hospital)

(Episode 8)

Seokgu wants to see you.

I have a surgery to get to. Step aside.

I heard you were Seokgu's friend.

He'll be sad if you ignore him.

Who said that he was my friend?

You little...

What are you doing, Euntak?

You can't do this in the hospital.

I'm going to k*ll this guy.

It came out nicely.

Should I share this on social media

with the caption, "A nurse grabs a patient
by the collar and threatens him"?

Then your hospital will be toast.

Will you be okay with that?

We have breaking news.

The Gangwon-do military base sh**ter
has been revealed.

He is a non-commissioned officer
with the last name Jeon.

Gambling debt was
the apparent cause of the trouble.

It seems
everything the elders say is right.

They say gambling is a shortcut
to ruin and disgrace.

...and it was revealed that he shot
Platoon Leader Second Lieutenant Park

and the platoon members on duty
because of this grudge.

By the way,
it seems like they haven't caught him yet.

He wouldn't show up
at our hospital, right?

Why would he show up at our hospital?

What for?

They said he was holding a grudge.

What if he figures out they're here

and comes to harass them again?

It's a possibility, Chief Jang.

No way.

There are soldiers standing guard.

He'd have to be crazy to...

Second Lieutenant Park

and other injured individuals

were rushed to a nearby trauma center
as transport to a military hospital

became difficult
in worsening weather conditions.

Mr. Jeon, who is on the run--

So they're still alive?

Get some more blood.

Switch places.

Remove your hands.

It's my fault.

I failed this patient.

Doil, there isn't enough
blood volume. Pump some more.

Okay.

What?

He's in V-fib.

Bring the internal
defibrillation paddles, quickly!

I'll do it!

20 joules.

Shock!

Let's do it once more.

Cha Eunjae, once more.

20 joules.

Shock!

All right, he's back.

Bring the 16 gauge angiocath, quickly!

Cha Eunjae,

you haven't lost anything yet.

What do you want to do?

Do you think you can continue?

I'll start a wedge resection now.
Please give me the linear cutters.

Okay.

Sir, how do you feel?

What? Where did he go?

(Doldam Hospital)

(Park Euntak)

Hey, Park Euntak.

You've gotten really weak.

Is this why you asked to see me?

This is just a greeting.
A "let's get along from now on" greeting.

Your hospital has
a lot of good drugs, right?

My injuries really hurt.

Give me a strong painkiller,
will you?

Was it called pethidine?

Something like that.

Your hospital has that, right?

Is that how far you've come?

Can you give me some?

Just leave the hospital quietly

before I call the police.

How many years did it take you?

It should be about 10 years.

Even if this is
some hospital in the boonies,

you probably studied
and worked really hard those 10 years.

That's how you've gotten this far.

But Euntak,

I could destroy those 10 years

in less than five minutes.

You know the power of editing, right?

If I touch up that video you saw earlier,

it'll be over for you.

Not only you,

but your hospital too.

Ruining someone's life...

is too easy in this world,

you idiot.

Can you guess why?

I have nothing to lose,

but you worked hard for this life,

so you have a lot to lose.

Your sense of inferiority...

Your sense of defeat is understandable,

but you shouldn't threaten me like that.

It makes you look
like a total scumbag right now.

Do you have a death wish?

So watch what you say.

You should be the one
watching what you say, you b*stard.

Wonyoung died because of you.

Don't you think
you should pay for your sins?

So, my friend.

Stop trying to get on my nerves

and just give me a shot
so we can quietly end things.

I just want some hospital medication,
courtesy of a friend.

Is that too much to ask?

(Treatment From the Heart
Hope, Love, Service)

Oh, Chief Jang.

Have you seen Nurse Euntak?

No, I haven't.

Why? Is he not here?

Yes, and I can't get hold of him.
He's not in the medical office or the ER.

I wonder what happened.

Nurse Euntak isn't one
to leave without saying anything.

Dr. Seo!

What's wrong?

I can't find the patient you brought over.

There's half an IV left,
but he just took it out and disappeared.

The troublesome patient that fought
with Nurse Euntak is missing too.

He went to use the restroom
and hasn't come back yet.

What is going on here?

No way.

A serial disappearance

in our Doldam Hospital?

Mr. Koo, could you check
near the restrooms?

I'll check the second floor.

Okay, I will.

There's a snowstorm.

The hospital becomes isolated.

Did you happen
to see Nurse Euntak anywhere?

- I haven't seen him today.
- One by one,

people start to disappear.

It's unlikely
that they went outside in this weather.

Then there's a high probability

that the incident started
inside the hospital.

Please check the I/O hourly

- and notify someone if there's a fever.
- Yes, Doctor.

Are you looking for someone?

Did Nurse Euntak come up here?

No, I haven't seen him.

Is Nurse Euntak playing hooky too?

He isn't like you.

What did I do?
I've been dutiful these days.

The patient he fought with in the ER
is missing too.

Did they go out to fight then?

Dr. Seo!

Dr. Seo!

Dr. Seo.

It's an emergency!
You need to come down immediately.

They're from a bus
that was passing near the hospital.

It skidded down a slope
on the snow-covered road.

No one has been seriously injured,
but quite a few of them are hurt.

They were redirected
to Doldam Hospital by 911

because it would take too long for them
to send help because of the snow.

We have to get it done by tomorrow!

If I were to take a guess,
there are more than 20 people.

We should let Master Kim know first.

He can't come, because he's operating
on a patient with a g*nsh*t wound.

He left the patients in our care
until he gets back.

However, the situation is dire.

Who's on duty at Doldam right now?

You can say it's only us right now.

Director Park Minguk went
to a budget review meeting today,

but he's probably unable
to come back due to the snow.

How about Dr. Lee Seonung?

Dr. Ung is in an operating room
with Dr. Ortho.

What should we do, Dr. Seo Woojin?

Are you sure
we shouldn't contact Master Kim?

Nurse Eom, use the KTAS

and send anyone level three and below
to the ER.

Yes, Doctor.

Also, Chief Jang,

please guide patients with no pain

or visible trauma to the lobby to wait.

- Okay.
- And you.

Stay focused.

You've got this, right?

You shouldn't trust me too much.

You've got this. Right, Dr. Donghwa?

I'll do my best.

Right.

Hello? Are there any doctors here?

Is no one here at this hospital?

Let's go.

(Emergency medical center)

(Volume 8
Underdog Effect)

Kelly.

Is it lodged in the bone?

I think there's only a cortical break.

Let's try pulling it out.

Vascular clamp.

Irrigation, please.

I don't think we need to perform a bypass.

I'll start the repairing process.

Suture, please.

- Cut.
- Cut.

- Cut.
- Cut.

We're repairing an artery.

- Cut.
- Cut.

I'll take the clamp off now.

Okay.

I've done my part.

Let's switch out.

As expected of you.

Good work, Dr. Cha Jinman.

I think I finally understand
what Dr. Nam Doil meant

when he said you two were "TVPG."

It's my first time

getting nervous
about the pace of a surgery

since working with you.

I told you there were
a lot of hidden masters in Korea.

I'm going to explore the nerve injury now.
Give me the Senn retractor.

All right, grab here.

Suture, please.

Oh, hey.

Did the operation end well?

The patient went into cardiac arrest
in the middle of the surgery.

Oh, I see.

You made a great effort.

Do you want me to get you a cool drink?

No, I have to go see the patient.

Luckily, we stopped the bleeding
but we still have to wait and see.

Take it easy, okay?

Today's surgery was a little difficult.

Dr. Cha...

doesn't usually make that kind of mistake

but she missed a lung injury

caused by a rib fracture
on the right side.

There was subcutaneous emphysema
up to the patient's face.

You inserted a tube on the left.

Why do you need another on the right?

The right side still shows signs of
pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema.

The subcutaneous emphysema
could go past the midline.

If the pneumothorax isn't that serious,

inserting tubes on both sides
is too much, Dr. Cha.

Fortunately, Master Kim
was able to bring the patient back.

He not only saved the patient
but saved Cha Eunjae too.

Cha Eunjae...

has a hard time as it is
because of her surgery anxiety.

What are you doing here?

Observing the patient.

Is he really in that bad of a condition?

No, he's okay.

His brain CT came back clear

and no unusual signs.

Hey, the patient's monitoring line
is still intact, right?

Yes, it's still intact.

After losing Assemblywoman Ko's son,

I've started to doubt everything I know.

Even though I know
the top priority is to stop bleeding,

I can't help but think, "Is that right?"

"What if that seemingly fine patient
is in a more critical state?"

The current state I'm in is,

in short,

the worst of the worst.

I almost lost a patient today too.

How?

Because...

Because I'm inexperienced.

You must have had a really hard time
if you're saying that.

I thought he was going to die
and completely lost my wits.

But thanks to Master Kim,
the patient lived.

Open cardiac.

Open...

That's our Master Kim. As expected.

Respect.

Respect.

At least it's not as busy

as I thought it would be today.
I was worried since it snowed a lot.

What did you just say?

- Hello, this is Doldam Hospital.
- Where is the restroom?

One moment, please.

- A blanket, please!
- Excuse me, may I get a blanket?

My head...

Thank you.

- What's wrong?
- I'm sorry.

Gosh, it's so cold.

- Oh?
- What the heck?

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.

I feel bad using the blanket alone.

My gosh, it's cold.

Okay, the lobby is clear.

It's not our first time working together.

- It's normal for quarantine to follow...
- Sir.

- Wait one moment, please.
- Sir.

I feel a little better now.

Please hurry up and do something.

- Bring me the suture materials.
- Okay.

I'm really busy though.

Hurry up!

What are you doing, Chief Jang?

The identity of the military base sh**ter
has been revealed.

Oh, really?

They say he's still on the run.

It's unlikely he's here though.

I'm checking in advance as a precaution.

What's wrong?

I think

I've seen this person before.

You've seen him? Where?

Oh, I can see it!

- Does it hurt?
- Yes...

Nurse Eom, can I get tramadol
and an X-ray for this patient?

Nurse Eom?

Nurse Eom!

I'll do it.

You...

After giving the patient tramadol,
I'll take him to get an X-ray.

Did you get hurt? Let me see.

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Hold on. Don't move.

Did the surgery end well?

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

We'll talk about that later.

Dr. Jang, prepare some dressings.

Okay.

Nurse Euntak, there's no problem, right?

No, of course not.

Even if there was, I can handle it.

Let me know if you need help. Okay?

He got completely beat up.

Shouldn't we report this
to the police as as*ault?

Don't you have a patient?

Why are you always so mean to me?

You're so nice
when you talk to Nurse Euntak.

So what?

Nurse Choi, I need normal saline
and to run labs on this patient.

Yes, Doctor.

- Dr. Seo!
- Dr. Seo Woojin!

It's him, right?
The patient you brought over.

Yes, it is him.

Where could he have gone?

Could he have run away?

I treated him,

but it would be hard for him
to walk with the deep leg wound.

Not only that, it's snowing a lot outside.

That means

he's hiding somewhere.

Chief Jang, call the police first.

Okay, I will.

What should we do
about the people in the hospital?

Hello, this is the Trauma Center.

What's up, Dr. Seo Woojin?

Hi, Nurse Eom. What's going on?

Yes.

- Excuse me?
- What?

- Cut.
- Cut.

- Master Kim.
- Yes?

Should we take a break?

No, it's okay.

Nerve hook, please.

I think the nerves are connected well.

Just a little more irrigation
and we'll wrap up after that.

Okay.

- Master Kim!
- Yes, Nurse Joo?

We just got a call
from Doldam Hospital.

There's been an off-road bus accident.

7 injured patients and 16 other passengers
have evacuated to the hospital.

Who's over there right now?

For now, Dr. Areum and Dr. Woojin
are taking care of things,

but...

What is it? Is something wrong?

The sh**ter who is on the run
seems to be inside the hospital.

He came in as a patient.

- Damn it. Call headquarters now.
- Yes, sir.

Scalpel.

Potts scissors.

A 4-French Fogarty catheter, please.

Dr. Seonung,
you have to push it in a little more.

All right. That's good.

Okay, now gently use the syringe.

Heparin fluid, please.

You're doing much better
than I thought you would.

Should we...

increase the pace a little bit?

I'm sorry,
I was going a bit slow, wasn't I?

You were just being cautious.
That's not a bad thing.

Thank you.

I'll begin distal revascularization now.

What's the situation like now?

Well, the military police
are on their way.

However, as you know,
the weather conditions are very bad.

So we don't know how long it will take.

Until then, it'll be best
to evacuate to a safer place.

What do you mean, evacuate?

Wouldn't this be over
if you just arrest the culprit?

Well...

You see,

there's something
that wasn't released to the public yet.

What?

The culprit...

is carrying a weapon.

He took two g*ns with magazines
from the guard post

and a p*stol from the second lieutenant.

How many b*ll*ts are in one magazine?

Each magazine holds 30 b*ll*ts.
In total, he has 60 b*ll*ts.

You didn't even inform us in advance
about such a dangerous situation

and just brought the patients?

Did you even think
about the safety of our medical staff?

We didn't expect the situation
to get this big either.

- Dr. Jung Insu.
- Yes, Master Kim?

Transfer the patients
in the Observation Area to the ICU.

Leave only two ICU staff members.

- Okay.
- And evacuate the rest of the staff

to the medical office on the second floor.

Understood.

Excuse me.

Dr. Jung Insu is well aware
of evacuation procedures,

so you can discuss everything with him
and make decisions accordingly.

The control tower needs to be strong,
so no personnel mishaps occur, right?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to go over to Doldam Hospital

and move the patients
Dr. Seo Woojin already operated on.

It'll be easier to protect the patients
if we keep them together.

We'll go with you.

Okay, let's go.

Dad, is something the matter?

There's an issue in the hospital,

so everyone is evacuating
to the medical office.

You should get out too. Evacuate.

(Restricted area)

Seo Woojin.

Yes, Master Kim?

No, we're okay. Nothing's happened yet.

Evacuate everyone in the lobby to the ER.

Keep movement to different locations,

including restrooms, to a minimum.

Get ready to move patients
from the Observation Area to the ICU.

Okay, we'll do that.

- Jang Donghwa.
- Yes?

We're moving the hemoperitoneum patient
from the ICU to the Trauma Center.

Go get the patient ready.
I'll be right behind you.

Okay.

Dr. Yoon, evacuate everyone
in the lobby to the ER for now.

Work with Chief Jang to get it done.

Okay, understood.

Nurse Euntak,
separate the patients into sessions.

Okay, I'll do that.

(Narcotics for medical usage)

Why is this b*stard taking so long?

He won't come.

What did you say?

You know how Euntak is.

He would never do such a thing.

Were you informed
about the hemoperitoneum patient?

Yes, we're getting ready
to transfer him to the Trauma Center.

Okay.

Get down.

- Oh, my.
- What...

Everyone in here...

should get out.

Go, get out. Quickly.

Let's go.

You should leave too.

What? Oh, okay, I will.

Dang it.

How does it feel to save a patient?

Today, it was you who did well.

What are you doing?

I told you to hurry up and get out!

Yes, I'm leaving.
I'm on my way out.

I'm going to leave, but...

Damn it!

What are you doing?

But...

By the way...

You shouldn't be carrying around
such a dangerous weapon in the hospital.

This is...

This is the ICU, so you have to...

You have to wear a mask.

You have to dis...

disinfect your hands too...

Get out of the way.

I said, get out of the way!

How can I do that?
If I move, you'll sh**t him!

Then you can die with him.

- Wait, please!
- Stop!

Dr. Seo!

Come out, quickly.
Go to the medical office.

Come out, quickly.

Leave it.

Eunjae, what are you doing?
I told you to get to the medical office.

Hurry. Come on out.

I'm sorry, but I have to stay here.

The patient's condition is still unstable,
so I have to stay by his side.

Why are you being so stubborn?

You should listen to me
in a situation like this!

He's my patient, Dad.

I make the decisions,
and he's my responsibility.

From what I experienced in the OR,

I'm now painstakingly aware
of what happens to a patient

if I don't fulfill
my responsibility to them.

I don't...

want that to happen again.

I'll stay here.

Eunjae...

This is a hospital.
What do you think you're doing?

I'm going to k*ll them.

They looked down on me,

walked all over me,

and disregarded me.
I'm going to k*ll these b*stards.

Then go do that somewhere else.
This is a hospital.

So you should've left me alone.
Why did you take me here?

Because you were hurt,

and I'm a doctor.

You're so full of yourself.

Put down the g*n.

You won't gain anything with that.

Do you think
I'm doing this to gain something?

Well, I'm not!

I'm giving this unfair...

and unjust world a wake-up call.

There are people like me
who were born to different starting points

and struggle to have things go their way!

I want to give comfort to those people!

Do you think
saying it like that makes it right?

What did you just say?

In reality, it's not true.

It's all just an excuse, a justification.

You got caught gambling,

got kicked out of the army, and got mad
at yourself for your own shortcomings!

You're just taking it out on others,

in the most vulgar form of violence
and in the most cowardly way!

Shut up! Stop acting all high and mighty!

Dr. Seo!

- What is going on?
- Hello, Doctor.

- Can you tell us what's going on?
- I have to go!

We deserve some answers!

- Nurse Euntak.
- Master Kim.

How is the evacuation...

What happened to your face?

It's nothing. I just fell.

Did you finish evacuating everyone?

Yes, the hybrid OR and five inner beds
were given to the patients.

The rest were given to regular passengers.

Okay.

What about Seo Woojin?

In the ICU on the second floor.
He was getting ready--

- What the...
- What's going on?

Oh, my gosh. What's happening?

A g*nsh*t!

A g*n?

Wasn't that a g*n just now?

I think so.

That was a g*nsh*t just now, right?

I think so.

What was that?

Who the heck does target practice
while it's snowing?

Crazy fools.

(Incident report: On-duty absence
Chicken burger...)

Go that way.

Over here!

Over here, Euntak!

Over here, quickly! Hurry up!

What am I going to do?

Someone help me!

Damn it!

Be gentle, it hurts.

Don't cry. You won't die.

Hey, Jang Donghwa.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm okay.

The patient...

is safe too.

What about Seo Woojin?

Where is he now?

It looks like your wound reopened.

Don't worry about that and walk.

If the inflammation gets worse,
it can lead to sepsis.

Then you could die.

It's not my first time
hearing a doctor say things to scare you.

Don't make the situation bigger
than it already is and turn yourself in.

No one's died yet.

It's not as bad as you think it is.

Be quiet.

I'll take care of my own issues!

Hey.

What would you know...

as a doctor?

All you did was study in a nice home

where you had everything handed to you
on a silver platter.

You go to medical school or law school,

getting to be the doctors, prosecutors,
and judges you always wanted to be.

Do you even know what it's like...

to live a life like ours?

Yes,

I do.

I never had a nice home.

I was never born...

with a silver spoon in my mouth.

After my father's business failed,

my whole family died

in a m*rder-suicide.

I was the only one to come out alive.

Sure.

The world is...

an unfair place.

And it's unjust.

But still,

don't assume that others had it easy...

while achieving the things
they worked so hard for.

That would really infuriate me...

because I worked myself to the bone
to get here.

You're full of yourself.

Don't act all high and mighty,
you b*stard.

Despite all that,
we're the same when we die, you know that?

So let's keep it fair and die together.

How about that?

(Cha Eunjae)

Why aren't you answering?

Don't move.

(Cha Eunjae)

I told you not to move, you b*stard!

I'm sorry...

but I'm going to live some more.

I want to live some more.

This b*stard...

Hey!

Are you okay?

Yes.

The situation has been handled.
You may come out now.

- All right. Let's go.
- What a relief.

Go, Nurse Oh and Nurse Joo.

Dr. Cha, I'm here!

Did you hear that g*nsh*t too?

Unbelievable. I didn't know
a g*nsh*t would be that loud.

Nurse Joo, hold on.

Can you watch the patient for a bit?
I'll be right back.

The patient is stable now,
so just keep an eye on the urine.

Next time, don't run into danger
like you just did, got it?

Other people could have gotten hurt.

You would have done the same, Master Kim.

There's no need for you
to be like me in that way, Dr. Seo.

What if you had gotten hurt?

Then you could fix me up, Master Kim.

What?

My goodness.

Hey, Seo Woojin!

Hey, you should answer your phone when...

Don't worry about me, Eunjae.

Continue what you were doing.

All of it.

Now it's Eunjae's turn
to give you an earful.

That way you'll get a grip on yourself.

Go on, Eunjae. You can continue.

Do as much as you want!

Hey, Seo Woojin,

the hospital was
in such a serious situation.

It's a state of emergency,
and there were evacuation orders.

How could you not call...

Why are you looking at me like that?

I love you.

What?

What did you say?

I'll see you later.

What did you say?

Hey, Seo Woojin!

Eunjae,

I wonder what would have become of me

if I had never met you.

You should have told us in advance
about a situation like this. Gosh.

I'm sorry, considering the situation...

Regardless of the situation,
one of our doctors almost got hurt!

If I had never met Master Kim in my life,

what would have become of me?

Chief Jang,
where have you been this whole time?

I was very busy
helping Dr. Seo Woojin in the ER--

I was in the ER with Woojin
this whole time! You...

Why are you getting angry at me?
In my own way, I...

Dr. Seo!

Are you okay?
You're not hurt, are you?

Gosh, I was worried
something bad was going to happen to you.

My heart was racing so fast
I thought I was going to die.

The g*nsh*t was really...
Gosh, unbelievable.

I thought you said
you liked sh**ter games.

A game is a game,

you shouldn't confuse a game with reality.

Well, anyway, I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Can I be that kind of person
to someone as well?

Do you want a drink?

Well...

I'll take an orange juice.

The squeezed, expensive kind.

I almost died, so it's okay, right?

Can I, really?

Why aren't you getting me one?

Sir, we've given you the painkillers,
so you'll start to feel better soon.

I told you it really hurts right now.

I'm...

I'm not okay at all!

Could you give me something stronger?

Nurse Eom, give him pethidine.

Don't, Dr. Yoon.

This patient has an addiction.

Then we'll go with another tramadol.

Sir, we're going to give you
something else that's not a narcotic.

Hey, what are you saying?

What did you say to that doctor?

I told her that you were a drug addict

and that you can't be given
opioid pain relievers.

What the hell are you saying?

Hey! Do you really want me to k*ll you?

Do you even know...

what it is to die?

What?

While Wonyoung was dying,

I ran 30 minutes with him on my back.

I can still...

remember the way
Wonyoung's body became stiff on my back.

If I had found Wonyoung faster that night,

maybe he could have lived.

The regret of not stopping him

from getting along
with scum like you, the self-blame,

and the weight of death
that weighed me down endlessly...

I ran for the last 10 years...

carrying all of that on my back.

But you're going...

to destroy that in five minutes?

Don't be ridiculous.

You can't even touch my collar, Seokgu.

Can you guess why?

No matter how much you try to rattle me,

I won't be rattled.

I haven't lived in such a sloppy way
to be rattled by the likes of you.

Are you crazy, you b*stard?

My gosh.

- Hello, everyone.
- Detective Ko.

I got a report

that there was a drug offender
in the hospital.

Are you Choi Seokgu?

Hey, hurry up and catch him!

Let go of me!

Let go of me. Damn it!

Park Euntak.

This isn't the end.

I won't go down easy.

I will come back and k*ll you!

Let go!

I said, let go of me!

Okay!

I'm done!

(Doldam Hospital)

(Incident report)

Looks like the operation went really well.

Dr. Lee was actually more meticulous
and calm than I thought he would be.

Is that so?

Well...

You must have practiced a lot
in secret on your own.

No, that's not it.
Dr. Bae Munjeong helped me a lot.

(Heo Byungbae)

Remember this patient's name,

since he's the first patient
you've operated on in this hospital.

Okay, I'll make sure to remember his name.

All right. Keep up the good work.

- Bye.
- Bye.

By the way, Dr. Ung.

About what you said before the surgery,

let's keep that between us for now.

Right, okay.

I'll be going.

I heard you performed
the mesentery surgery.

Did you already hear about that?

How did it feel?

Well, my hands weren't as dull
as I thought they were.

My reflexes weren't bad either.

I'm a third-year resident now,
so I should know how to do that much.

You're late.

Sorry?

When I was your age,

I did everything
from a hemoperitoneum to a panperitonitis

in my last residential years.

Back in my day,

a single mesentery,
assisted by a professor...

That was nothing to write home about.

So you're a "when I was your age"
kind of person too.

Hey, everyone has
their own "when I was your age" stories.

I wouldn't be here today
if not for those experiences.

Don't you think so?

Right.

So...

keep that in mind.

Today will be one of your many...

"when I was your age" stories.

You did well today.

(General Surgery Resident
Jang Donghwa)

(Chief of Surgery
Master Kim)

Nurse Oh, why haven't you gone home yet?

Can you make me some coffee?

All right then. Let's go in.

We've been through
all sorts of situations now, haven't we?

I guess it's become that kind of era.

Even as we speak,

there are women and children dying

because of w*r somewhere

and thousands of people are dying
because of earthquakes somewhere else.

We've seen a whole city
flooded by natural disasters

and the whole world on lockdown
because of an infectious disease too.

At this point,
the world has become a place

where anything can happen
and we wouldn't find it unrealistic.

Now,

we have to prepare...

...for that kind of world.

Next, you'll be saying
you'll save the world.

They say saving one person
is like saving a universe, Ms. Oh.

How is...

your arm?

I was a little slow at work in the OR,
wasn't I?

I was performing
an open cardiac in the other OR

and I overdid it. That's all.

There's nothing to worry about.

Today,

after watching
Professor Cha Jinman's surgery,

I understood
that Director Park's stubbornness

wasn't what brought him here.

I told you that was the case.

- Master Kim.
- Yes?

How far...

has your condition progressed?

I need to hear an answer today.

- You did great, Dr. Cha.
- You too.

- Hey.
- Are you going home?

Do you want to go home together?

We're eating fried chicken
in the medical office.

At this hour?

If your mother hears this,
she'll be furious.

By the way, are you upset

because I missed the rib fracture

in the pneumothorax patient?

If that's the case,

my advice wasn't wrong.

That patient was a special case.

Normally, if there's little
to no pneumothorax,

you don't put in tubes on both sides.

And there aren't many cases
where it gets to hypertension.

Then it'll be a case
of excessive medical treatment.

Yes, that's usually the case.

But this is a trauma center, right?

That's usually the case.

But this is the trauma center.

Here in the trauma center,
no treatment is excessive.

It's a place where you have to do
everything you can to save a patient.

I spent the past three years
learning that from Master Kim.

You didn't miss it, Professor Cha.

I missed it.

Get home safe.

You're brilliant, Eunjae.

Wonyoung...

was my best friend since middle school.

He was a great guy,

but after befriending Seokgu,
he began doing terrible things.

Then he got ahold of drugs...

that he never should have touched.

Do you feel...

guilty about his death?

I'm not sure.

Whether it's guilt...

or remorse.

Regardless, my friend died

and I went astray for a while
before I got into a car accident.

That's when I was brought here,

to Doldam Hospital.

Nurse Euntak,

you were a patient here?

At Doldam Hospital?

That's how it started.

After I met Master Kim,
I came to my senses.

Perhaps Wonyoung couldn't stand

seeing me being a mess,

so he sent me here.

I get that thought sometimes.

I see.

You're...

disappointed, aren't you?

By what?

By my past,

my friends from then,

going astray, the accident, and so on.

At one point,

I used to stutter.

In middle school,

I was bullied by my best friend.

I once stole my mom's money too.

There were shoes I really wanted,
but she didn't buy them for me.

I was an unruly teenager...

and playing make-believe became a hobby.

As a result, I used to be called a freak

and a nutjob.

Are you disappointed...

in me?

No, I'm not.

I believe that without a past,
you don't have a present.

If you love the present,

there's no past you can't understand.

I like the present Nurse Euntak.

What?

It's Dr. Cha. She says come quickly.

Okay.

Eat. Let's eat.

- What?
- Oh, hey!

- Hey.
- Hello.

Welcome, Dr. Yoon Areum and Nurse Euntak.

Dr. Jung, it's been so long!

23 bus passengers?

And you managed all that.

- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.

What is this good smell?

Whoa! Fried chicken?

For everyone,
since they had a hard day today...

Did you pay for it?

- No, Dr. Seo Woojin did.
- Oh, I see.

Enjoy, everyone.

- Thank you!
- Thank you.

Gosh, it tastes really good too.

I was worried because of the snow

but thankfully, things were pretty calm
and quiet at the hospital, right?

Or was the Trauma Center in shambles
because of the GSW patient?

Dr. Yang Hojun, what's your MBTI?

I don't believe in that kind of thing.

It doesn't sit well with me.

You're so...

Eat up.

Shall we make a drumstick toast
to celebrate all of us gathering here?

- Sure!
- Let's do that.

Let's congratulate Dr. Jang Donghwa
on his mesentery operation

and Dr. Lee
on his first operation! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Congratulations!

Congratulations. You did well.

Thank you very much!

By the way,

- wasn't I kind of cool earlier?
- What do you mean?

The way I stood in front of the patient
to protect him.

I didn't see that.

You should've seen it.

I was really cool.

That's too bad.

Did you know?

To me,

every day at Doldam Hospital...

is a spring day.

My gosh, you could have come tomorrow.

You didn't have to with all that snow.

I stopped by on my way home from work.

It's from the court,
so I thought it was important.

- From the court?
- Yes.

The court?

One moment.

Master Kim!

Master Kim!

(Complaint)

(Complaint)

(Plaintiff Ko Kyungsook)

(Defendant 1. Cha Jinman
Defendant 2. Jung Insu)

This really...

(Handle with care
Please don't throw)

Dr. Lee Seonung.

Oh, hello.

A package for you.

Thank you.

Keep up the good work.

- Thank you.
- No problem!

(Dr. Romantic 3)

Call both of them.

A decrepit building collapsed

in a redevelopment area.

Please help us!

There are so many young students.

Chief Jang, let us out here.
We'll run from here.

Director Park, we'll need you...

- This way!
- ...to help out in the trauma center.

Pick up the phone.

Pick up.

Then let's go in together.

The building is collapsing again!

It can't be.

I hope our efforts don't go to waste.

Seo Woojin!
