Doctors aren't gods!

-Doctors aren't gods!
-Doctors aren't gods!

Revoke their license to k*ll!

-Revoke it!
-Revoke it!

-We refuse patients!
-We refuse patients!

Stop the coercive investigation!

-Stop it!
-Stop it!

Banseok University Medical Center,
an evil group!

Apologize to the public!

Repressed doctors. Failed medical system!

The trial for the Hojun Case is about to…

Seven-year-old Hojun, who was brought
to the emergency room for rhabdomyolysis,

died of acute renal failure due to
poor medical treatment by the doctor.

The conflict between civic groups
and the medical association

is intensifying over the passage
of the "Hojun Act," which will strengthen

criminal penalties
for medical malpractice.

Dr. Park, who has
repeatedly denied the allegations,

is said to have admitted to the charge
of his poor medical treatment

at the trial today.

Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong
of the Medical Crime Department

at Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office

asked for a two-year sentence for Dr. Park
of Banseok University Medical Center,

who is accused of professional negligence

and violation of medical law.

Gu Jingi, director
of Banseok University Medical Center

and chairman of the foundation,

is likely to replace Lee Giljae,
the former Minister of Health and Welfare,

who recently resigned on bribery charges.

This is expected to cause a stir.

As it is a case of public interest,
some predict that the outcome of the trial

may affect the appointment of candidates.

Defendant. Please rise.

I will announce the sentence.

It is recognized
that the defendant Park Kitae

neglected his duty of care

to his patient as a doctor.

Accordingly, the court acknowledges

that the defendant Park Kitae
caused the death of the young victim

due to professional negligence…

Thus, the court sentences him
to two years…

Defendant.

Defendant. Are you all right?

Defendant!
Please check on him immediately.

Mr. Park Kitae. Can you hear me?

Defendant! Mr. Park Kitae!

There is no heartbeat.

What in the world…

-AED! Please bring a defibrillator now.
-Yes, Your Honor.

Breaking news by Reporter Ban Soohee.

Dr. Park, who was on trial,

collapsed due to breathing difficulties
during sentencing

and is in cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest?

The court officer
performed CPR on Dr. Park immediately,

but it seems that
he has not yet regained consciousness.

The cause of his breathing difficulties
is still unknown.

The trial against him has been suspended.

-Quickly.
-Yes, sir.

Please step back.

What's going on? Why isn't it working?

Dang.

-What about the ambulance?
-I called for it already.

-Who is that?
-What?

Han Yihan.

What on earth are you doing here?

What are you doing?

You're not a doctor anymore.

Then, should I just leave him to die?

Please step aside.

-Who are you?
-I'm his lawyer.

Pardon?

He is breathing!

What's happening to him?

COUNSEL

Anaphylaxis. It's obstructing his airway.

What's the matter with him?

Please hold this.

Please pour the alcohol.

Hold his head and legs down.

Please hold him down tighter.
He'll die if he moves.

The courtroom is like an operating room.

It may end a life,

or provide a fresh start.

FIVE YEARS AGO

SURGERY IN PROGRESS

All good with the vital signs, right?
Let's stop the pump.

-Clamp.
-Okay. Standby.

One, two, three.

Stop the pump.

Anesthesiologist, please check the valve.

Valve leaflets are working fine,

and there is no paravalvular leak.

Well done.

I see that the aorta is a bit thin.

It may bleed, so press it down well.

Okay.

Gauze.

One, two, three.

Let’s wrap up. Wiring.

Army Navy retractor.

What are you doing?

Focus.

Gosh, you're so awesome.

How do your fingers move
as fast as Usain Bolt?

That surgery would take four hours
at least. How can you finish in two hours?

The longer it takes,
it puts the patient under extra strain.

Hey man, others don’t take longer
on purpose.

You modest, annoying punk.

You must be a god.
The rest of us are mere human doctors.

He's not just quick. He's also precise.

Yihan, you're off now, right?

Yes. But I'll still be here,

-so call me if any emergency arises.
-Okay.

To the patient, the long-term outcome is
more important than the surgery duration.

-Please check his condition often.
-Yes, I will.

He is handsome and is always right,
so I can't even complain.

He's going to see Seokju now, right?

Yes.

Gosh, he has amazing stamina.

He performed
three surgeries back to back today.

But it's an important day for Seokju.

Oh, right. It's an important day.

-Dang.
-Life isn't fair. We have to work hard.

Let's go.

What are you doing?
Good hygiene is a must here.

GEUM SEOKJU

MATHEMATICS

The second period has ended.

Submit your answer sheet.

How is your condition? Are you okay?

Of course. I am totally fine.

Don't overexert yourself.

Let me know right away
if you feel shortness of breath or pain.

Of course.

By the way, where is my sister?

She said she would take half a day off.
She isn't here yet?

You are right. She is late.

She must be here.

Where are you?

AMBULANCE

Yihan, I need you to operate.

There is someone we need to save.

He got stabbed in the chest.

He is on his way
to Banseok University Medical Center.

Stabbed?

Switch to video call
and show me the wound.

Okay.

Paramedic, please tell me
about the patient's condition.

He has lost a lot of blood
and his vital signs are very low.

So that his blood pressure won't drop,
we found the vein…

and are injecting IV fluids.

Is there a cardiac stimulant?

Yes. We have epinephrine.

We can't let his heart stop.

Please administer
one ampule through the IV line.

This video is being recorded
and I will take full responsibility.

Okay.

Good job.

Please come to the entrance
of the main building. I will be there.

Not the emergency center,
but the main building?

Yes. I will check up on the patient
and operate myself.

Understood.

Seokju.

Go ahead. I am okay.

Call the medical staff
if you feel the slightest pain, okay?

Don't worry.

I know my heart better than you.

Okay. I will be back.

Good luck.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

AMBULANCE

Yihan.

Lift on the count of three.
One, two, three.

What happened?

He was supposed

Let's make a bypass first.

If it can't keep up with the blood flow,

we will open up his chest
and add a cannula to the aorta.

Okay.

Doctor, the blood bank
has two bags of Blood Type A left.

We won't have enough blood.

Even with a blood transfusion,
the BP will fall below 50.

He is in terrible condition.

Yihan, will he be able to survive
this surgery?

Don't say that
when the patient is still breathing.

He is barely breathing.

Focus. The surgery has begun.

Going in.

-What's the ACT?
-It's going over 320 seconds.

-Start the pump.
-Start the pump.

-Start the pump.

The flow is at 50%.

Let's open the chest
and insert a drain to the right atrium.

It's the left ventricle.
How far did the knife go in?

Suction.

BP, 55 over 35.

-Help me see it clearly.
-Okay.

Hand me the ACC.

Heart rate, 70bpm.
Oxygen saturation level, 100%.

His vital signs are good.

Gosh.

You are obstructing my view!

-Suction.
-Suction.

The ST segment is too high.

Give me Isoket and prepare
the rapid infusion system.

-Yes.
-Isoket.

Suction! I can't see anything!

Turn off the music.

-Do a gauze count.
-Okay.

-No more epinephrine?
-That was the last ampule.

I told you to prepare them.
Go and bring more.

Yes, doctor.

For goodness' sake.

The vital signs are stable.

Han Yihan, you are the best.

You are insane.

The patient had almost encountered death,

but you managed to bring him back to life.

What is this? Who brought a cell phone
to the operating room?

-Wrap it up.
-What?

Take over.

Okay.

-Where are you going?
-Where are you going?

Close the chest and wrap up.

You were so intent on operating.
You should wrap it up.

Gosh, I am anxious.

Let's do well.
It's all about mental fortitude.

Focus.

Yihan, what happened?

It ended well.
They are closing up his chest.

His chest? Then it hasn't ended yet.

Another emergency came up.

Don't worry. Dr. Park is in there.

You should go to Seokju.

He is taking the exam,
so you should be by his side.

Okay.

-I will be there when I am done.
-Okay. Good luck.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

He must be in trouble again.

Come on! It's slippery here.
Wipe the blood.

BP is 65 over 30.

Oxygen saturation level, 85%.

-I need more blood here.
-This is all we have.

He's Rh-negative. I barely got three bags.

Put an IV fluid on him!

If his blood pressure drops more,
he'll die!

-Yes, sir.
-Your call, Dr. Gu.

Should I make an announcement?

He might have a cardiac arrest.

You should at least massage his heart.

Dr. Gu. What do we do?

-Dr. Gu.
-Dr. Gu. Tell us what to do.

-Dr. Gu.
-Dr. Gu!

BP is 50 over 30.
He's about to have a cardiac arrest.

Dr. Gu!

-Dr. Gu!
-Dr. Gu.

How's the patient?

BP, 50 over 20.
Oxygen saturation level, 80%.

His sinus is bad.
He might have a cardiac arrest.

Push two of epinephrine.

Pushing two of epinephrine.

-Suction, and start the cell saver.
-Yes, sir.

Doctor! I got it.

Water syringe, please.

Walk me through.

Well…

He was performing
a coronary artery bypass graft.

He must have nicked another vessel.

Micro forceps.

-Keep watering it. Blow it.
-Yes, sir.

Keep suctioning.

Given the amount of blood loss,

he should use a coronary shunt.

Give me a shunt.

Suture, Eight Zero Prolene.

What a monster.

-Cut it short.
-Yes, sir.

His rhythm is good.

Good work. Thanks to you, the patient…

Good work.

Dr. Gu.

Dr. Gu!

You must perform surgery.

I'll close up his chest.

Where's your head at?

Were you plotting together to screw me?

Never.

"Good work"? You little…

Do you know who our patient was?

He's the father-in-law of the Health
and Welfare Committee's chairman.

He's our biggest VIP patient.

The director's son
personally performed the surgery.

Can't you read what's going on?

Dr. Han was a mere ghost doctor.

How dare you compliment him
in front of Dr. Gu?

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Keep this in mind.

Dr. Han never set foot in this room today.

Dr. Gu Hyunseong did the surgery
from start to finish.

He saved the patient. Got it?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

-Clean up and go.
-Okay.

Jeez.

You have five minutes left.
Mark your answers.

KOREAN HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES

I'm sorry.
The surgery ran longer than I thought.

How's Seokju?

He's fine.

Daewoong came and checked
his vital signs during his break.

His exam is about to end soon.

Kid, are you all right?

Can I get a new answer sheet?

Your answer sheet?

You only have three minutes left.
But shouldn't we get a doctor first?

No.

Give me the answer sheet now.
Hurry, please.

Okay.

Here.

GEUM SEOKJU

Are you sure you're okay?

Gosh. What should I do?

I'm…

I'm fine.

I can finish the exam.

Seokju! Geum Seokju!

Don't come in!

Don't.

If they come in now,
my exam won't count. Right?

That's the rule, but…

I'm fine. Don't come in. Just wait.

-It'll be over soon.
-But you…

Don't worry.

This doesn't even hurt that much anymore.

I can do this. No.

I will do this no matter what.

Seokju.

Seokyeong, I'm sure he'll be okay.

Let's believe in him.

It's over.

Seokju.

Seokju. Are you okay?

Yihan. Please do something.

Seokju.

Seriously. You're so fussy.

I told you I was fine.

Come on.

You idiot!

-What were you thinking? Seriously!
-Hey.

Seokyeong, I'm in pain.

I'm still a patient.

Only when you need to get out of trouble?

You couldn't have been okay.
I bet it hurt like crazy.

You'd better get good grades
after what you just pulled.

Otherwise, we're going to…

Good job.

They are relatively prime,
so you add 17 and 6. And you get 26.

Some of you might think why I ended here
when it's a probability question.

Then you will have to study
about conditional probability.

In conditional probability,
the total number of outcomes is the same.

So you have to remember to…

Seokyeong,
can you pull my ear like before?

What? Okay.

Wait. That doesn't hurt.

I must be dreaming. Yes. This is a dream.

-Hey, pull mine.
-Okay.

-Any pain?
-None.

-What?
-We must be dreaming.

Is it really happening?

Oh, my goodness! You got a perfect score!

You did so well!
I'm so proud of you, my baby brother.

I can't believe this!

-Seokyeong, I got a perfect score!
-Yes.

-Hey, your heart.
-My heart?

Calm down. Don't get excited.

-Whatever! Gosh.
-Gosh!

I don't care if my heart stops beating!

How could I not get excited right now?

Seokyeong, didn't I tell you?

I'll be a med student
at Banseok University.

I'll fix patients
with heart problems like me.

I'm going to be the best
cardiothoracic surgeon like Dr. Han!

Okay. I'm so proud of you.
You did so well, Seokju.

Great job. You were amazing.

Well done. My goodness.

A perfect score!

I bet my brother is the first student

to take the exam in the hospital
and get a perfect score in history.

I saw it, but I still can't believe it.

Can you believe it?

I have news that will make you happier
than Seokju's perfect score.

What news? What is it?

Come on, tell me.
What could possibly make me happier…

No way.

Seokju…

will get a new heart.

The transplant center called this morning.

The donor's family is abroad right now.

So we'll procure the organ
and do the transplant in three days.

I wanted to tell you sooner.

But I didn't want to distract him
before the exam.

We…

We waited too long for this.

It was painful even for me.

Seokju must have been
in so much pain and scared all this time.

That means my brother
will be healthy now, right?

Just like other kids, he can go to school

and make friends too.
He can do all of that, right?

Of course.

I will make it my mission
to get him healthy

and ready to start his semester
at Banseok University in March.

And once he does,

we should…

get married.

You, Seokju, my mother,

and me.

The four of us can be happy together.

Thank you.

Let's be happy for the rest of our lives.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

-Hello.
-Hello.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

We had a 130-billion-won deficit
over the last three years.

You spent 200 billion won from
the reserve fund for essential business

to set up
a global research and development center.

But for three years,

the center annually wasted


Technically, it's an investment,
not a waste.

We can't survive just by treating patients
and performing operations

in the future.

To become a global bio-healthcare company

from a general hospital,

we must enter the medical market in the US

and develop our technology.

No. Hospitals must only focus
on treating the patients.

What are you talking about?
A global company?

The reserve fund
for essential business was meant

to be used to train medical personnel

and to set up the infrastructure.

That's why this fund is exempt from taxes.

You can't treat this fund
like it's your personal asset.

Hey, Jungok.

Are you lecturing me?

We're at an official meeting.
Don't call me by my name.

Address me as the chairwoman.

Director Jang Yoontae.

An official meeting?

Jingi, let's be honest here.

You're using the foundation's money

to set up Banseokwon
and the research and development center

because of your inferiority complex.

You were the first work student
our foundation sponsored.

You grew up in a poor family.

As a man from a humble family,
you have an inferiority complex.

You're the one
with the inferiority complex.

-What?
-You know I'm right!

Father sent you abroad,
so you could become a doctor.

But you kept causing trouble
and couldn't even graduate!

So you never became the chairman
nor the hospital director.

How dare you?

Hey, stop it.
There's no point talking about it.

We'll hold you responsible

for your management decisions
at our next board meeting.

We won't provide you with any more funds!

If you can't cover up the deficit,
be ready to resign from your positions!

They only wasted our funds
with their bad investment calls.

Since when were they interested
in managing the hospital?

Don't they know we made Banseok
one of the top five hospitals?

You had to fix politicians

and rich businessmen's hearts
all these years to achieve that.

They couldn't even squeak
when my father was alive.

How dare they?

I'll meet up with other board members
and try to convince them,

but I'm not sure if it will work

since my brothers probably
got to them already.

See you at home.

Okay. See you at home.

The offer you made.

Is it still on the table?

They got us good this time.

They obviously threw him under the bus.

It's obvious, but it's effective.

Given the chief aide's condition,
even if he recovers,

I don't think we can investigate.

What about
Assemblywoman Yoon Misun's ill*gal fund?

Our hands are tied. We must close it.

We're not giving up.
We're letting it stew.

I'm sure you know

some things are bound to get out.

That's a new ring.

Did he propose?

Oh, this…

He told me he would make us happy.

Seokju and me.

So I said yes right away.

Congratulations.

You will get busy with Seokju's surgery
and wedding planning now.

Hand over this case to me.
I'll wrap it up.

No. I was the one who found this case.

So I'll see it through.

Great.

All the test results look good.

You can get your surgery
in two days as we planned.

That's great. I was really worried.

Why would you worry?

You withstood the long battle.

You just need this surgery, and that's it.

Well, now that I'm getting the surgery,

I'm even more nervous.

To be honest,
I've been scared all my life.

I never talked about this
because I didn't want to worry Seokyeong.

But I was scared because I didn't know…

when my heart would stop.

I will be grateful for the rest of my life

and become a good doctor
as well as a good adult.

Thank you so much, Dr. Han.

Thank you, Yihan.

Sure.

Be an excellent doctor and give back
to the world for the rest of your life.

Yes, Director Gu.

Dinner?

Okay.

I'll go to your house. Okay.

Good work yesterday.

Because of my lacking son,

I'm always in your debt.

Don't mention it.

I just saved a patient
as any doctor would.

Seokju's heart transplant surgery
is in two days, right?

Yes. He will now have a chance
to get the transplant surgery

thanks to your support.

Have the surgery at Banseokwon.

I'll settle all the bills. Don't worry.

But…

all the medical expenses
you covered for us…

He's the brother of someone
you deeply care about. Of course, I can.

No need to feel bad. Just accept it.

This is nothing
compared to everything you've done

for my son.

Thank you so much.

-Have a drink.
-Yes.

Hey, come here. Join us for a drink.

I'm tired. I'll get some rest.

Come sit.

You should hear it too.

During the next personnel transfer,

I'm going to appoint you
as Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Yihan.

Father. What are you talking about?

That position should be given to me.

Hyunseong.

You know one's skills are most important
in cardiothoracic surgery.

But…

"I think of you as a son.
I treasure you like my own."

I can't say those things to you.

Because that would be a lie.

In return,

I, Gu Jingi, will repay you

for all the help you've given Hyunseong.

You should have a drink too.

I hope that I could see the two of you…

lead Banseok…

together.

I'll work harder.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Cheon.

This is from Director Gu.

It's to repay you for all your help.

Oh, I see.

Please tell him I said thank you.

Okay. Goodbye.

Goodness.

Was he embarrassed
to give it to me himself?

You must be happy.

You got the position you always wanted.

Of course I'm happy.

We have one of the top cardiothoracic
surgery programs in the world.

Right. He must be so happy too.

I'm talking about your dead father.

Imagine how proud he is.

He wanted to become
Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery,

so he did an impossible surgery
and k*lled his patient.

Then he got caught taking bribes,
so he k*lled himself out of embarrassment.

His son managed to fulfill the dream
he couldn't realize.

Should I say this is moving?

Or should I say it's tragic?

Regardless,
I don't think you're one to talk.

If it wasn't for me,

you would've k*lled a lot of patients too.

What?

I get you're mad because I've been chosen
as Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery,

but don't express
your inferiority complex like this.

Or get acknowledged with your talent.

Although it won't be easy.

Bye.

Dang.

Dad!

Dad. No.

No.

No, Dad.

-Honey.
-Dad.

Clean water is seen before us.

Hey. You're home late.

Did you drink?

Yes. I had a drink with the director.

The director? Why?

He gave me permission to do
Seokju's surgery at Banseokwon.

He's even going to cover the cost.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so grateful.

When I heard the surgery was going to cost
over 30 million won,

I thought that I should help pay for it.

My gosh.

You care more about Seokyeong than me.

I have some more good news.

My angel, Madame Kang, your son is

the new Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery
at Banseok University Medical Center.

The youngest one in its history.

Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery?

How can you become the head
when Hyunseong is there too?

Your skills are most important
in cardiothoracic surgery.

As for Hyunseong…

I'm sure the director
will give him a better position.

What is it? Aren't you happy?

I'm happy. I really am,

but I'm reminded of your father.

If he was still alive,

he'd be so happy with us.

What a terrible man.
How could he leave us like that?

Goodness, Madame Kang.

Why are you acting like this
on such a happy day?

-Did you take your medicine today?
-No.

When I take it,
my stomach feels uncomfortable.

You should still take it.

I know you still have a hard time
when you think about Dad.

If it upsets your stomach,
I'll get you a different prescription.

Is it more than one bottle?
Why is it so heavy?

What is this? Is this money?

I, Gu Jingi, will repay you

for all the help you've given Hyunseong.

When he said repay me, did he mean…

Even still, this is wrong.

I should return this to him.

Good luck with your surgery.
I'll be waiting outside.

It's not like I'm doing anything.

I'll be going to sleep once I'm in there.

I'm sure Dr. Han will do his best.

Yihan.

So don't worry about anything and wait.

I'll come back with a strong new heart.

We'll go in now.

-Please take good care of him.
-I will.

-Good luck, Seokju.
-Bye.

Good luck. Don't worry.

-I'll be back!
-Geum Seokju, you can do it!

Yihan.

Take good care of Seokju for me.

Don't worry. I'll do my best.

No. I'll make sure it's successful.
No matter what.

Good luck.

Hand me the ACC.

ACC is on.

The pump flow is good.

-Daewoong, what's the time?
-It's 12:27 p.m.

I will now extract the patient's heart.

The heart has arrived.

It's 1:21 p.m.

His body temperature is back up.

I'll start the weaning.

I'll start the ventilation.

Stop the LA vent. What percent are we at?

The LA vent is stopping. We're at 50%.

The root vent is keeping up
with how much is coming out.

Is there any air in the heart?

How's the left ventricle moving?

The LV wall motion is good,
and I don't see any air.

-Stop the root vent.
-Stopping the root vent.

Stop the pump.
I'll check the drainage now.

I'll give you the sign
for stopping the pump.

One, two, three.

You have the tubing line.

Adjust the meds
according to his condition.

Okay.

Let's focus on controlling bleeds.

It'll be hard if he starts bleeding.

Don't worry. The biggest enemy
of heart surgery is bleeding.

SURGICAL TIMER, CURRENT TIME,
ANESTHESIA TIMER

Yes!

Dr. Han Yihan has added
another successful case

to heart transplants. Good job, Yihan.

Dr. Park, that's upsetting.

It's not like
Dr. Han did the surgery alone.

I know. We're all standing right here.

Don't be like that.

You guys are the mom and dad of Banseok.

You are the dream team in my heart.

It's thanks to all of you guys too. Right?

Yes. Congratulations!

What's wrong? The surgery went well…

Hold on.

Dr. Lee. Can you check
the pulmonary artery pressure?

Okay.

It's 70 over 50. It keeps going up.

-It's too high.
-Too high? What's too high?

If the pressure is too high,

the right ventricle can't handle it,
and the heart will stop.

BP is 90 over 55. Now it's 85 over 50.

Heart rate is 50.

It's dropping.

The left and right ventricular pressures
might get reversed.

The right ventricle is impaired.

sh**t. What went wrong?

Did we give him too much blood?
Or the meds…

What? Is an anesthesiologist
an easy target?

I was precise.

What should we do? Turn the pump on again?

Dang.

Yihan.

Turn on the nitric oxide to 40bpm.

Bring me a 16-gauge needle.

A 16-gauge?
What are you going to do with that?

I'm going to take blood out
of the pulmonary artery. Hurry.

Hey! If something happens to the patient…

-Another one.
-sh**t.

Hey, Yihan. That's enough.

Another one.

This is dangerous.
Something bad could happen!

Another one. Hurry!

How much are you taking out?
It's already over 400ml!

BP is 80 over 35.

Now it's 90 over 40. It's going up.

Keep reading it to me.

It's 95 over 50.

It's 100 over 60.

It's 110 over 70.

The blood pressure is stabilized.

Let's close him up.

Give me Four Zero Prolene.

Seokyeong.

Yihan.

Don't worry. The surgery went well.

How's Seokju?

He's in an aseptic area.

Then when can I see him?

After an organ transplant,
your immunity is compromised.

So you need to avoid any contact
with the outside.

I know you want to see him,
but wait until he wakes up.

I'll watch over him until then.

Thank you so much, Yihan.

Thank you for everything.

Yes, sir.

The operating room?

Yes, sir. I'll be right there.

SURGERY IN PROGRESS

Where's Director Gu?

He's inside.

You're here. Come inside.

Who is that person?

You don't need to know.

He came in three hours ago
from a car accident.

He had a bad heart,
so he was waiting for a transplant.

We removed it,
and he's on bypass right now.

Then…

He won't last long.

He needs a transplant right now.

A transplant?

We don't have a heart,
so how could we do the surgery?

We have a heart.

Sir.

That heart…

Who does it belong to?

WE THANK NAM KEEAE
FOR HER SPECIAL APPEARANCE

Do the surgery for me.

I'll assist you.

-Why are you doing this?
-Because it's worth it.

Where are you? We're in trouble.

What's going on? Give me 200 joules!

Dr. Han. His heart might explode!

He passed away.

I'm just telling you the truth
as revealed from the autopsy.

There's no way.

Dr. Han Yihan!

Don't do anything you'll regret.

Nothing you do will matter anymore.

I already have plenty of regrets.

Why are you doing this?

There's a patient I must find.

Then I'll make you admit

that you're a m*rder*r.

Who is that patient
that you're going this far…

Who is that?
