EPISODE 15

(siren wailing continues)

(horns honking)

(sighs)
I was going to go home and get some rest.

(upbeat music)

DOLDAM

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

SIM HYEJIN

(helicopter blades whirring)

So what's the situation right now?

Several firefighters
who were putting out the fire

and workers
at the chemical fertilizer plant

are heading
to the Trauma Center right now.

But there is no one

at the Trauma Center at the moment.

Also,

there's someone here
from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

(sighs)

TREATMENT FROM THE HEART
HOPE, LOVE, SERVICE

This is an emergency, Dr. Kang.

Bring the Trauma Center staff
who are on strike in the lounge right now.

(breathes heavily)

Look how the Ministry of Health
and Welfare sent someone.

Also, the provincial budget officer
is watching us like a hawk.

Right now of all times!

Do you think I can make any negotiations?

You should at least go
beg on your knees if you can't.

Aren't you prepared to do that much
as the future head of the Trauma Center?

Why should I have to grovel?

And I haven't seen anyone
be convinced by such tactics either.

This is why you were blindsided
by Assemblywoman Ko Kyungsook.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Ko!

(sighs)

(sighs)

(line ringing)

OPERATOR: The number you have dialed
cannot be reached…

What? Why are you here?

Didn't you get the emergency text?
(pants)

It's a forest fire.

Those who were injured
while putting it out will be here soon.

So what? What do you want from us?

Don't you see we're on strike right now?

I do.

Then shut up and get out.

Our rights are
just as important as survival.

I know that.

I also know why you're doing this.

The patients always take priority
over our rights.

And our desperate voices
only sound selfish to the world.

And whenever that happens,

we wonder,
"What are we devoting ourselves for?"

WOOJIN: We get hurt,

become dejected, and feel doubtful.

WOOJIN: I know all that.

But,

we can…

keep fighting.

The trauma patients arriving soon

can't fight without us.

Without us,

they don't have a future.

HOJUN: Hey.

We're not refusing to treat patients.

We will treat them.

So, go tell Kang Dongju
to come and kneel before us.

Why are we the only ones
considering the patients?

If Kang Dongju
also considers the patients,

he should come and kneel
before us first. Isn't that right?

(sighs)
Hojun.

That can only mean that you want to
use patients for your pride.

WOOJIN: In the meantime,

our colleagues will have to
work that much harder.

Someone has to fill in

the lack of medical care.

YEONGMI: Ms. Oh.

I think we might have to go on strike.

You will join us, won't you?

No, I don't think I can join you.

Why not?

Weren't you on our side?

Of course. I'm always on your side.

But for you to step away
from your jobs more comfortably,

someone will have to
stay here and work your parts too.

MYEONGSIM: We're fighting against

the unjust system, not the patients.

But still, don't hesitate
to make your voice heard.

A society where you can't make
your voice heard is a sick one.

Go and confidently say your piece.

I will try my best to fill the places

that you guys leave behind.

Okay?

Ms. Oh.

Let's go back now.

It's not just any emergency.

It's a disaster situation.

I don't think it's right
to put this all on Ms. Oh.

HOJUN: Ms. Joo.

You can't back down now.

HOJUN: We're all in this together.

Those who want to stay can do so.

Let's respect each other
no matter what decision we make.

EUNJAE: So you shouldn't try
to force anyone either.

Just like how gathering here was
a free choice,

I think going back should be
up to each person too.

(sighs)

(laughs softly)

(tense music)

SABU: Hey.

All right. You've all heard, right?

There are a total of 20 casualties
due to the fire

according to the report.

But there might be twice as many injured.

SABU: Let's all be prepared.

Hand me one of those.

Ms. Eom.

Let's be prepared for the patients
who have inhaled toxic fumes and gases.

SABU: Get ready with the high-flow
and prepare as much oxygen as possible.

HYEONJEONG: Yes, Master.

By the way, the Trauma Center asked us
to send some staff over.

No, I don't think they need us.

What? But apparently,
there's no staff at the center and--

No, they'll be fine.

Oh, okay, then.

(sirens wailing)

-(doors open)
-PARAMEDIC: We have patients!

Sir?

Paramedic Heo.

MYEONGSIM: Paramedic Heo.

Captain Heo and Paramedic Kim
were crushed by a falling structure

while helping people evacuate.

PARAMEDIC: Captain Heo's vitals are
110/70 and 96.

-And Paramedic Kim?
-It's 90/60 and 120.

Ms. Oh, have we heard back
from Doldam about the backup request?

I told them it was urgent,
so they should be joining us soon.

They'll have lots of patients
themselves too.

Sir?

You'll have to explain
this situation later on, Dr. Kang.

Let's talk about it
once we're safely past this situation.

Hurry and move them to the trauma bay!

(clamoring)

Please make way!

Please move faster!

A total mess.

Everything is a total mess.

(clamoring continues)

This way.

Dr. Seo!

(pants)

(gasps)

Tell me about
the patients' conditions first.

Paramedics Heo and Kim
were crushed underneath the wreckage

that fell in the fire
while rescuing people.

MYEONGSIM: Paramedic Heo is unconscious
and Paramedic Kim's vitals aren't good.

Paramedic Choi was hit by a car
that was backing up.

I suspect he has multiple injuries.

Paramedic Choi is in cardiac arrest!

PARAMEDIC 2: CPR!

Move the beds to the back!

-Please move this bed!
-(clamoring)

YEONGMI: This way.

I'll take Captain Heo to the trauma bay!

WOOJIN: Let's move the others
to the observation area.

This way to the observation area.

YEONGMI: Yes, that way.

I hope you're not misunderstanding.

About what?

That you were moved by my surgery?

Or that you came here?

Just because I'm back
doesn't mean I will compromise.

The staff came back
for the patients and our colleagues.

We don't intend to gloss over the problem.

Don't get the wrong idea.

(tense music)

(scoffs)

(upbeat music)

VOLUME 15
THE GAME CHANGER

-(slurping)
-SEONUNG: Mmm.

By the way, Dr. Jang,

when is your rotation over?

Doesn't a resident's rotation
last about four months?

That's about right.

When it's over,
will you go back to Keosan?

Yes, I guess.

(slurps)

Keep eating. I'm just grabbing some water.

You need to eat while you can
to be able to keep going.

This is a battle of stamina.

-Yes, Ms. Eom.
-(chuckles)

(Seonung laughs)

-I'll go first. Take your time.
-Wait, but…

Hey, wait.

-Why is he…
-(door opens)

(slurps)

(indistinct clamoring)

NURSE 1: Here comes a patient.

NURSE 2: Coming through.

NURSE 3: Thank you. Out of the way!

Out of the way.

NURSE 4: Wait.

NURSE 3: Out of the way.

NURSE 4: That's…

DONGHWA: How did you become
Master Kim then?

Someone

started calling me that.

She was the first pupil Master Kim met
during his heyday.

Her name was Jang Hyunju.

HYUNJU'S COMPILATION

PARAMEDIC 3: We have a patient!

(tense music)

Is he a burn victim?

He works at the factory.
He can't breathe well.

PARAMEDIC 3: He inhaled a lot of smoke.

-Okay, this way.
-PARAMEDIC 3: All right.

Breathe out.

(coughs)

SEONUNG: In one, two, three!

(wheezes)

This sounds really bad.

(patient's wheezing continues)

My eyes hurt too.

They're burning.

It could be because of the smoke.
Don't rub your eyes.

Oh.

DONGHWA: I think this patient was burned.

What? Where? His clothes look fine.

DONGHWA: Right here.

Dr. Ung. What's wrong?

Dr. Ung?

Well, the thing is…

I actually…

One moment.

Sir, how did you get hurt?

PATIENT: I don't know.
(wheezes)

I think I hurt myself

while escaping.

I'm sorry.

I need a minute.

Where do you work?

The chemical fertilizer plant?

Yes.

The firefighters are spraying water
where the chemical tanks are.

I believe there haven't been
any gas leaks.

What kind of chemicals do they have there?

PARAMEDIC 3: We were warned
about accidents from hydrogen fluoride.

It was diluted,
but they did use hydrofluoric gas.

It sounds bad.

SABU: Dr. Jang.

Wash out his eyes with saline first,

irrigate his whole body,

and have him change.

The whole body?

Washing the patient is priority
in cases of hydrofluoric gas exposure.

Hurry up.

Yes. I'll need some saline.
Let's wash out his eyes first.

Dr. Yoon.

Yes, Master?

Figure out how many patients there are

who came from the fertilizer plant.

Yes, Master.

PARAMEDIC 3: Sir, I think chemical gases
have been leaked at the plant.

-(dial tone)
-Mr. Jang, it's me.

Set up a decontamination and detox tent
outside the hospital right now.

And tell the paramedics

to have people from the plant
go through there first

before they enter the ER.
Please get the word out.

Yes.

Okay. Bye.

CONSULTATION ROOM 3

(soft music)

(grunts)

(sniffles)

What was wrong with Dr. Ung just now?

I don't know.

I was telling him about the burn
and he suddenly went like…

He acted all flustered and then left.

Does he have indigestion?
His face was as white as a sheet.

-DONGHWA: Master Kim didn't say a word.
-HYEONJEONG: Why?

DONGHWA: If I ran off,
he would've yelled at me.

HYEONJEONG: Were you told off before?

DONGHWA: No.

(soft music)

I'll take a five-minute break.

What's going on?

Something is wrong, isn't it?

Actually,

I told him I wanted to break up.

Really?

I mean, you really did that?

You told me to give it a go.

You said that would make
Nurse Euntak come to his senses.

-Would you like some coffee?
-Yes.

HYEONJEONG: So, coffee…

Which one do you want?

So? What did he say?

Nothing.

What? He didn't say anything
when you said you wanted to break up?

He didn't even react.

I don't think he was fazed at all.

AREUM: What do I do, Ms. Eom?

I think…

we might be really over.
(cries)

HYEONJEONG: But…

PARAMEDIC 4: We have a patient!

-In front of the ICU.
-PARAMEDIC 5: Okay.

Let's go.

That way, please.

Excuse me.

Please grab a stand
and start an IV for him.

Hey, I'm in a lot of pain.
When will you treat me?

We have a lot of urgent patients.

I'm in a lot of pain too!

Look.

I'm hurt too. I'm a patient too.

I'm sorry, but could you wait
a little longer?

PATIENT 2: Hey.

Hey.

Darn it.

-DONGJU: Ms. Oh.
-Yes?

Why are the regular injuries here?

They're getting
a lot of gas-exposure patients at Doldam.

We decided to take
the regular injuries here.

Who did?

WOOJIN: I did.

Let's check vitals.

I thought I said
we'll only take severe trauma cases.

I know, but there was an exception.

In case of disasters,
we can accept a wider range of patients.

Do you also know
we can't use the facilities and equipment

from the Trauma Center
for regular patients?

In cases of inevitable circumstances,
"like lacking emergency surgery facilities

beyond the Trauma Center,

or when doctors
who can use certain equipment

are only in the Trauma Center,

they make an exception."

Did that answer your question?

If you have more questions,
let's set a time to discuss them later.

I have an urgent patient right now.

See? I told you he was pretty good.

It sounds as if

-you're sticking up for your youngest son.
-(laughs)

I feel the same way
about all of the doctors here.

Including you, Dr. Kang.

I know you want to do well,

but I think
how you do well is also important.

MYEONGSIM: What we need now
isn't a single hero.

It's a leader who can unite us as one.

"Follow my lead!"
You should stop doing that.

You should be a leader
who can tell people to join you.

The work that we do

is impossible
without everyone's cooperation.

NURSE 5: Ms. Oh, the trauma bay.

Okay. I'll be right there.

(sirens wailing)

PARAMEDIC 5: We have a patient!

(whimsical music)

Are you looking for someone?

My dad.

-(tense music)
-(Insu pants)

-Let's check his rhythm.
-(flatlining)

(Insu pants)

Compressions!

EUNJAE: Ms. Oh, please connect the bottle.

NURSE 6: Dr. Cha,
I have Master Kim on the line.

EUNJAE: Master.

I just sent Captain Heo's brain CT.
Did you see them?

Who? Captain Heo?

You mean our Paramedic Heo?

EUNJAE: Yes, he has multiple bleeding
in his chest and abdomen.

The hemoperitoneum isn't bad,

but I think his right diaphragm
is slightly elevated

and there is some fluid.

EUNJAE: I'm trying to take care of
the massive hemothorax first,

but the brain CT seems to show an IVH.

(sighs)
You're right. It's an IVH.

How are his pupils?

EUNJAE: They're both 3 mm and prompt.

Then let's just keep an eye
on his brain condition

and take care of the hemothorax quickly.

EUNJAE: The IVH could increase
during surgery, right?

I'll let Dr. Nam Doil know,

so take care of the hemothorax first.

EUNJAE: Yes, Master.

Ms. Oh, please ask Dr. Nam
to get us an OR.

Call Dr. Ung and Dr. Seo
for the GS combined surgery.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Seo is handling
another emergency patient now.

I'll do the combined surgery.

(tense music)

(Eunjae sighs)

Ms. Oh, please ask
if Director Park can come.

Didn't you hear me say
that I'll do the surgery, Dr. Cha?

I'm not comfortable with that.

Deal with it, then.

Dr. Cha.

Paramedic Heo is our priority.

MYEONGSIM: Right?

INSU: Let's check the rhythm!

-(pants)
-(flatlines)

One more time.

Let's go one more time.

Compressions!

(Insu pants)

How long has it been?

NURSE 7: It's been 30 minutes now.

-Insu.
-Please.

Please. You can do this.

INSU: Inchul.

You're still young!

Inchul.

Let's check the rhythm.

-(pants)
-(flatlines)

Compressions!

(exhales)

That's enough.

(pants)

-(solemn music)
-(breathes shakily)

(exhales)

The time of death…

is 21:09.

INSU (voice breaking):
Paramedic Choi Inchul…

has passed away.

(sniffles)

(paramedics cry)

PARAMEDIC 1: Inchul!

PARAMEDIC 3: Inchul!

Dr. Cha, Paramedic Heo's family is here.

Let's get their consent for surgery first.

But the thing is,

they're his kids.

What do you mean?

Why can't we get an OR right away?

Dr. Lee in anesthesiology has the day off.

He went to visit his family.

He's in Sokcho, and it'll take
at least two hours to get back.

And if the road conditions
aren't great with the forest fire,

it might take even longer.

How long do you think
your surgery will take?

Paramedic Heo is in
very bad shape right now.

He has a hemothorax, a hemoperitoneum,

and even an IVH.

He has to be observed for that too.

Paramedic Kim's abdomen
is continuing to swell too.

WOOJIN: We can't delay any longer.

And he even had a stent put in
for an unstable angina last year.

He takes aspirin too, wow.

What's going on?

I didn't expect you to be here
until next week.

I know, right?
As soon as I get back from my sabbatical,

-I'm right back on the b*ttlefield.
-(laughs)

Have you been well, Dr. Nam?

Thanks to you being gone,
I was busier than ever.

(laughs softly)

Hey, you look great.

HYEJIN: You didn't get married
while I was gone, did you?

-(soft music)
-(laughs softly)

Can you take a look first?

WOOJIN: It's a massive hemoperitoneum.
We should go in soon.

I don't think we have time
to check his heart condition.

He's taking aspirin,
so he will have bleeding tendencies.

Look at you changing the topic.
How suspicious.

Could we open the OR in 10 minutes?

I should've come back tomorrow.

Okay, fine.
I'll see you in OR One in 10 minutes.

(laughs)

She's the same as ever.
(chuckles)

Ms. Lee, let's move the patient.

(sighs)

What are you doing?
It's a mess out there. Why are you hiding?

I'm sorry.

I missed the signs
for the gas-exposure patient.

But to my eyes,

those burn marks weren't visible.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

The initial diagnosis
for emergency patients

is the job of emergency physicians.

SABU: You were just trying to help

because it was a disaster situation.

Sure, you shouldn't miss
a patient's symptoms.

But Jang Donghwa was there, and so was I.

I became a doctor
because I wanted to help people.

I don't want to receive help.
(sniffles)

But I keep becoming a nuisance.

It feels terrible.

Hey.

I've never seen a newbie
who wasn't a nuisance.

And I've never seen anyone become
a specialist without making mistakes.

What if a patient suffers because of me?

That scares me so much.

So what? Will you quit being a doctor?

If that's not it, just keep doing
what you've been doing.

Besides, you've never been
confused in the OR.

SABU: You've never gotten
the wrong blood vessel or anything.

MUNJEONG: He was a little slow,
but he was precise.

It was his first surgery,
but he didn't hesitate.

That means

you worked so hard to get there.

Even I can see how hard you must've worked

to overcome your weakness
by looking at so many blood vessels,

familiarizing yourself with their shapes,

and memorizing their characteristics.

That weakness of yours

has made you who you are now.

So believe in the effort
that you've put in so far.

Don't be scared of making mistakes.

Don't be anxious
about how others might see you

or what they might think of you.

Hey.

Do you want to know a secret?

It's not other people's views of you
that make you.

It's your own views that make you. Okay?

Yes.

SABU: So,

praise yourself more
and be kind to yourself.

You're doing really well right now,
Dr. Lee Seonung.

(Sabu chuckles)

(sniffles)

Cha Eunjae is waiting for you
in the OR. You should get going.

Yes, sir.
(sniffles)

Hurry up and run over there.

Yes.

(sniffles)

(exhales)

SURGERY CONSENT FORM

MYEONGSIM (sighing): But they're so young.

Will they be able
to understand the situation?

Give it to me. I'll explain it to them.

Are you Paramedic Heo's son?

Yes.

Do you want to see your dad?

Dr. Kang.

Paramedic Heo's condition right now

is not something a child should see.
He's in bad shape.

What do you want to do?

I want to see my dad.

(sighs)

What is it? Is something wrong?

(sighs)
I don't know.

What on earth is Dr. Kang doing?

Do you know

just how many people your dad has saved?

There are so many
that we can't even count them all.

Yejun.

This time, it's our turn to save your dad.

YEJUN: Is my dad…

going to live?

Do you see that doctor over there?

She's the best surgeon at our hospital.

DONGJU: I am sure

she will do her best for your dad.

Isn't that right, Dr. Cha?

Of course.
(laughs)

I will do my best.

I HAVE READ AND CONSENTED TO THE FOLLOWING

ATTENDING PHYSICIANS:
KANG DONGJU, CHA EUNJAE

RELATION: SON
HEO YEJUN

EUNJAE: Seriously, he sure has a way
of making people feel pressured.

DONGJU: Did you feel pressured?
I was only trying to cheer you on.

Dr. Cha,

you've improved a lot
compared to the past.

You always used to doze off
in the OR and fall over.

You'd have to be carried out.

I even had to yell at you once.

EUNJAE: That was ages ago.

I just didn't feel well for a while
during my residency.

You're still going on about that?

DONGJU: I got into a huge fight
with that guy once.

He thought I was too harsh on you.

You've been dating since then, right?

DONGJU: What will you do, Dr. Cha?

If you feel too pressured to do this,
I can call Master Kim now.

EUNJAE: No, I'll do it.

I'll save him, no matter what.

WOOJIN: Are you doing this on purpose?

DONGJU: What?

WOOJIN: Making people angry.

DONGJU: She wants to save him.
Isn't that what matters?

What's important
is the unwillingness to back down.

WOOJIN: So,

are you getting what you want?

DONGJU: I'm discovering what it is
that I actually want to get.

HYEJIN: Isn't that Kang Dongju?

MYEONGSIM: I guess you know him.

HYEJIN: I worked with him a few times
at Keosan University Hospital.

So he's back.

MYEONGSIM: And so are you, Professor Sim.

HYEJIN: Seeing this fine Trauma Center

being filled up by doctors

makes me think
Master Kim's picture is being finished.

MYEONGSIM (laughs): Do you think so?

NURSE 8: Dr. Seo, we're ready for surgery.

DONGJU: Good luck.

HYEJIN: The patient's current vitals
are 110/80 and 90.

He has an underlying unstable angina
and multiple severe injuries.

He's at higher risk
of complications from anesthesia.

So he can't be under
for too long, Dr. Seo.

WOOJIN: I know. I'll try to finish
in under two hours.

EUNJAE: Can we begin, Dr. Nam?

DOIL: Yes, you may begin.

-EUNJAE: Scalpel.
-WOOJIN: Scalpel.

(hopeful music)

MYEONGSIM: Is Master Kim's picture

being finished piece by piece?

DOIL: It's the picture

that we've all been dreaming of.

Yes, it sounds okay.

-Get some rest.
-PATIENT 3: Yes, Doctor.

Thank you.

-(tense music)
-(fire roaring)

GITAE: The beds are to the left!

-The beds are to the left!
-(sirens wailing)

GITAE: Those who can walk,
go to the right!

You have been exposed
to dangerous material.

-You must be decontaminated!
-(sirens wailing)

GITAE: The patients
from the chemical fertilizer plant

must enter the building
after they are decontaminated.

Are you from the fertilizer plant?

Please go to the decontamination tent.

You must go through that first.

Are you from the fertilizer plant?
Please go to the decontamination tent.

(groans)

(groans)

(groans)

(groans)

STAFF 1: The patient is coming out!

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

STAFF 2: Please make way.

Coming through.

HYEONJEONG: This way, please.

AREUM: Nurse Euntak.

Could you bring some more ointment?

EUNTAK: Yes, one second.

(soft music)

DONGHWA: Is Dr. Yoon really breaking up?

HYEONJEONG: It's not Dr. Yoon.
It's Nurse Euntak.

He seems to want to break up.

(Donghwa sighs)

(phone emergency alert rings)

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

STAFF 3: Aren't we in danger here too?

-(tense music)
-(wind howling)

(wind howling)

(siren wailing)

(hissing)

EUNJAE: Ung, can you pull down
the lung retractor more?

SEONUNG: Yes, Doctor.

I'm pulling it down.

-(tense music)
-(Eunjae exhales)

EUNJAE: What is this?

This is the liver.

The hemoperitoneum

must've been liver damage.

The blood from the liver
is leaking into the chest cavity

through the ruptured diaphragm.

The broken liver is herniating
into the chest cavity too.

DONGJU: Switch places. Get out of there!

EUNJAE: I'll open him up. Scalpel, please.

WOOJIN: Richardson.

WOOJIN: I need more gauze.

HYEJIN: Get some more blood.

And let's start another line.

Get a 16 gauge needle and a PMS ready.

NURSE 9: Yes, Doctor.

GITAE: Master Kim.

-(coughs)
-(indistinct chattering)

GITAE: Master Kim!

-GITAE: Master Kim.
-SABU: Ms. Eom,

please close this patient's wound
and give him diclofenac.

-Let me know if the pain persists.
-HYEONJEONG: Yes, Master.

SABU: What is it, Mr. Jang?

GITAE: Chief Park is here.

DONGJU: The liver is packed,
and the bleeding is subsiding.

So you don't need to rush.

He has a TBI as well.

There will be a high chance of TIC.

DOIL: His vitals aren't stable.

-Can we get more FFP for him?
-NURSE 9: Yes, Doctor.

(Doil exclaims softly)

CHIEF PARK: The wind has changed
direction.

The wind has changed direction?

What does that mean?

The wind was blowing to the east,
but it's now blowing southwest.

The direction of the fire is changing too.

But if it's heading southwest…

It'll be 30 minutes at the fastest.

At the latest,
the fire will reach Doldam Hospital

in 40 to 50 minutes.

GITAE: What do you mean by that?

The fire will reach Doldam Hospital?

Are you saying that Doldam Hospital

will catch on fire?

There hasn't been any rainfall
over the past month.

And the wind is blowing too strong.

CHIEF PARK: The fire is continuing
to spread,

and it's burning
everything down in its path

from the chemical fertilizer plant

to the nearby homes and stores.

GITAE: No way. It can't be.

We only just finished building
the Trauma Center, and it will burn down?

The firefighters will do our best
to keep it at bay,

but the forest fire is so vast

that we won't have
a lot of men to post here.

CHIEF PARK: I think

you should be prepared
for the worst-case scenario.

(tense music)

NURSE 10: Dr. Jang,
please take a look here.

Okay.

DONGHWA: Dr. Yoon, take a look at Bed Two.

Yes? One second.

(indistinct chatter)

MAN: Doctor, please help over here.

MR. KOO: Ms. Eom,
we're back from the X-ray.

Okay.

Put the bed here.

Ms. Joo, after you dress his wound,

-get an X-ray for this patient,
-YEONGMI: Yes, Doctor.

(groans)

(phone vibrates)

Hey, Doil.

DOIL: Master Kim, what do we do?

I just checked

and Paramedic Heo's pupil reflex
has become sluggish.

DONGJU: Bring a portable CT here quickly!

-EUNJAE: Cut.
-DONGJU: Cut.

DOIL: I don't think
we can delay any longer.

NAM DOIL

GITAE: Master Kim.

You must hurry.
The fire is going to reach here

like water rising in a flood.

Mr. Jang.

Call Director Park, please.

Got it.

Nurse Euntak.

-EUNTAK: Yes, Master.
-Come here.

Paramedic Heo is in surgery now
for multiple injuries.

He has an IVH.

I think I'll have to go
to the Trauma Center and operate.

Will you do an EVD?

You should go ahead
and prepare for it first.

I'll be there in five minutes.

Yes, Doctor.

GITAE: Master Kim!
I have Director Park on the line.

Yes, Master Kim. Talk to me.

Yes.

Yes.

Great work today, Dr. Seo.

You haven't lost any speed
with only three fingers.

It's thanks to you both.

Hey, isn't that Master Kim?

DOIL: He's holding up.

Paramedic Heo had an IVH.
He must be here for that.

Does Master Kim operate on the brain too?

He's a neurosurgeon.

His specialty is in the spinal nerve,
so he usually doesn't work on the brain.

MYEONGSIM: But I guess
the situation has gotten urgent.

-(exhales)
-(phones vibrate)

(gasps)

(gasps)

(phones vibrate)

(phones vibrate)

(staff murmuring indistinctly)

What's this about
transferring the patients?

Why?

Why are we emptying out the hospital
all of a sudden?

But there are so many patients.

Everyone, don't be alarmed and listen.

The forest fire seems to be
headed to Doldam Hospital now.

It's heading to the hospital?

We must evacuate the patients
in Doldam's ER, ICU, and rooms

in 30 minutes.

MUNJEONG: Most of all,
we must maintain order

so we don't scare the patients.

If you seem flustered,

people will get hurt.
You know that, right?

ALL: Yes, Doctor.

The ICU patients who are out of surgery
will be taken to nearby hospitals

in ambulances where it is safe.

Patients in need of urgent care

will be taken
to Jeongseon's public health center.

And the rest of the patients
who are able to move on their own

will move to a safe evacuation site
where they will continue being treated.

How should we divide up the staff?

Yes, we'll do that.

Patients who just got out of surgery

will be marked by the doctors
who operated on them.

MYEONGSIM: The other Trauma Center staff
will go to the evacuation site.

The Doldam staff will go
to the public health center.

(sighs)
I sure picked a great day to come back.

I'll get going first.

-(Hyejin sighs)
-Professor Sim.

Yes?

(scoffs)
Okay, get going.

I'll stay with the patient.

Thank you.

Buy me a meal next time.

(tense music)

SABU: Dr. Kang.

How's it going with the liver?

DONGJU: The damaged part
has been taken care of by packing it.

SABU: How long do you think it'll take?

DONGJU: The mesentery is damaged too.

If we sort that out
and wrap up with a temporary closure,

it will take about 20 minutes.

WOOJIN: Dr. Lee. Let's switch places.

SEONUNG: Yes, Doctor.

WOOJIN: I'll join you.

I can cut that time by five minutes.

SABU: All right.

We'll begin too.

DOIL (in English): Okay.

SABU (in Korean): Scalpel blade no. 10.

AREUM: One second.

-You shouldn't be moving!
-NURSE 11: Coming through!

Those of you who can walk,
please step outside!

-Let's move.
-One second!

Here!

-Ms. Eom. Are you okay?
-CHIEF LEE: That way.

If you can walk, go to the front doors.

-We'll take care of you. Please come.
-Over here!

Just a second.

AREUM: It was really hard
to start an IV for this patient.

Make sure it doesn't slip out.

-DONGHWA: Yes, Doctor.
-(pants)

DONGHWA: Dr. Yoon, you should hurry too.

I don't see Nurse Euntak.

Have you seen him?

DONGHWA: Master Kim called him earlier.
They went over to the Trauma Center.

I think they had a surgery over there.

What?

He went into the OR in the middle of this?

SABU: Drill.

-DONGJU: Cut.
-SEONUNG: Cut.

DONGJU: Suture.

-WOOJIN: Cut.
-SEONUNG: Cut.

Go slowly.

MINGUK: Bed coming through.

Good.

We should evacuate now. On the mountain…

Dr. Jung, please wait a moment.

Yes, Director Park.

PATIENT 2: Darn it!

What are you trying to do here?

Didn't I say I was in pain
since a while ago?

-Didn't I?
-Sir.

The forest fire is headed this way.

Patients who are able to walk

-must go outside on their--
-PATIENT 2: Hey!

(patient 2 sighs)

Do I look like I can walk right now?

Do I?

PATIENT 2: I've been telling you
I was hurt,

that I was in pain,
and that I need treatment.

I said it multiple times,
but you didn't even look at me.

That's because you weren't bleeding
after we dressed your wound.

And your head CT didn't show any problems.

There were other patients who were in need

-of more urgent care--
-PATIENT 2: Darn it. As if that's true.

Hey, you're lying.

I know you've been
only taking care of those paramedics.

Are you guys friends? Is that it?

Are paramedics the only patients here?

Are we not patients?

It's not like that.

All the paramedics
who have been brought here

are severely injured.

INSU: Sir, can't you see them?

I'm severely injured too!

Hey, look.
I was bleeding so much earlier too.

For now,

the situation is urgent.
You should evacuate to a safe place.

We'd appreciate it if the patients
who are able to walk

-could go on their own--
-Why, you little punk.

-PATIENT 2: Didn't you hear me?
-Let go of this.

-PATIENT 2: I told you I can't walk.
-Let go.

I can't walk right now, punk!

Sir, let go of him.

-Out of the way, lady!
-Ms. Oh.

Hey, punk.

PATIENT 2: You're a doctor,
but you don't even take care of a patient.

If you had done your job right,
I wouldn't be doing this now!

Let go of him.

I said let him go!

(yells)

There's a forest fire spreading!

Didn't you hear him?

You should be evacuating in order!

How dare you grab a doctor
by the collar and cause a scene?

Lady! How dare you raise your voice at me?

Do you know who I am?

Who on earth are you?

I'm dying to know who you are too.

Tell me your name!

Who on earth are your parents,
and what do you do?

Tell me that!

What kind of life have you led
that you're this rude, shameless,

and brazen? Tell me that!

And tell me where you work too.

I will go to your boss
and ask him what his standards were

for hiring a guy
with a terrible personality like yours.

Tell me. Answer me right now!

(yells)

Ms. Oh. Please calm down.

(pants)

The paramedics who were lying there

all got hurt while saving you people.

MYEONGSIM: While trying to save
your lives,

their intestines were crushed,

their livers smashed, their bones broken,

and some even died!

Is it so upsetting that we treated

those urgent patients first?

How is it that

our dedication and sense of duty
is such a given for you?

How can you so brutally
take someone's sacrifice for granted?

-(sniffles)
-(clears throat)

Well,

I didn't mean to take it for granted.

-I was hurt and in pain right here, so--
-MYEONGSIM: Forget it!

Tell me.

Your name,

your job, your parent's names.

Tell me all of them!

(huffs angrily)

I'm sorry.

(comical music)

(patient 2 yelps)

(exhales loudly)

Aren't there any police officers
to arrest annoying patients like him?

Why must we put up with guys like him
when we did nothing wrong?

How much longer must we do this?

Ms. Oh, please calm down.
There are kids watching.

(light whimsical music)

Goodness. I'm sorry, kids.

I didn't yell because I was angry.

I did that because I was upset.

It's okay.
There's a kid like that in my class too.

He never listens to the teacher,

and he only blames his friends
when he was the one who did wrong.

Right. Then shall we evacuate too?

You learned how to keep order, right?

Yes, I learned it in kindergarten.

We don't push the people in front,

and we have to help people who are hurt.

The young ones are better than the adults.

I know.

But what about my dad?

He still seems to be in surgery.

The doctors will evacuate him safely

as soon as his surgery is over.

Don't worry.

Now, let's evacuate.

Let's go.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

(indistinct clamoring)

Yes, ma'am.

The hospital is transferring people out
because of the fire.

We wouldn't have to do anything ourselves.

Yes, I'll tell you the rest
when I get back.

STAFF 4: How many patients are left?

STAFF 5: We still have a few more.

-Let's get a move on.
-Get out of the way.

Those who can walk

-should move quickly.
-I'll carry that.

-DONGJU: Cut.
-SEONUNG: Cut.

(hopeful music)

(Sabu grunts)

SABU: Give me an EVD catheter.

Inserting the catheter.

All of you, stop for a second.

SABU: Focus.

(tense music)

SABU: Bowl, please.

(Eunjae exclaims softly)

EUNJAE: It's draining well.
That's awesome, Master.

DOIL: Dr. Cha, saying "awesome"
with a patient on the table is a little…

EUNJAE: I'm sorry.

SABU: The EVD is a success.

DONGJU: We'll keep going. Drain, please.

WOOJIN: We'll do a temporary closure.

SABU: We'll close up this side too.

SABU: Suture.

SABU: Don't be surprised
and listen to what I'm about to say.

There is news

that the forest fire
is heading to Doldam Hospital now.

So right now,

the hospital is transferring everyone out.

Cut.

EUNTAK: Cut.

-GITAE: Get inside!
-SABU: According to Chief Park,

we won't have a lot of time left.

As soon as we close up
and finish operating,

you should also evacuate
as soon as you can.

Dr. Nam.

DOIL: Yes, Master Kim.

SABU: I have an ambulance ready
to move Paramedic Heo.

Can you ride with him
and go to the hospital in Seoul?

DOIL: Of course.

SABU (in English): Okay.

-SABU (in Korean): Right. Cut.
-EUNTAK: Cut.

-WOOJIN: Cut.
-SEONUNG: Cut.

-SABU: Cut.
-EUNTAK: Cut.

WOOJIN: Ioban, please.

SABU: All right.

Great work, everyone.

We really were…

a perfect team.

WOOJIN: Master.

(Sabu laughs softly)

-(door opens)
-(Doil sighs)

EUNJAE: What does this mean?

If the forest fire
is heading to the hospital,

what will happen to the Trauma Center

and Doldam Hospital?

("I Promise" by Lee Juck playing)

DONGJU: Dr. Nam.

Let's move the patient first.

DOIL: Yes, let's do that.

Let's move the patient.

Dr. Lee.

SEONUNG: Yes.

DOIL: Okay, let's go.

("I Promise" by Lee Juck continues)

(sighs)

It's a shame.

That was our first surgery

as Team Doldam.

Seo Woojin.

Don't tell me…

Was that…

our last surgery just now?

("I Promise" by Lee Juck continues)

(music fades)

Master Kim!

Yes?

Is the surgery over?

Yes, we just finished.

Then you should evacuate.
What are you doing here?

The smoke is coming in already.

What about the other patients?

The patients in the Trauma Center
and Doldam Hospital

have been evacuated safely.

I was checking to see
if anyone was left behind.

Please make sure
not a single person gets hurt.

Of course. I'll be right out
after I check the ICU once more.

Okay.

Master Kim.

Yes?

Don't think about anything else right now.

I understand how you must feel,

but please evacuate first.

MINGUK: From this point onward,

there is nothing that we can do as humans.

Okay.

(soft somber music)

(sighs)

WOMAN: Master!

-GITAE: Get inside.
-PARAMEDIC 6: Everyone, hurry up!

This way, quickly.

STAFF 6: It's this way.

-Yes, they'll be back!
-That's it. There will be more.

GITAE: Go!

CHIEF LEE: All right, that's it.

-GITAE: Go.
-CHIEF LEE: They'll be back

-after dropping off the patients.
-GITAE: There will be more!

-CHIEF LEE: Please wait calmly.
-GITAE: Go.

(suspenseful music)

(coughs)

(Eunjae sighs)

(coughs)

Dr. Seo.

Nurse Euntak.

-What is it?
-I can't find Master Kim.

EUNJAE: What?

(ominous music)

WOMAN: Master!

(closing theme music)

DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3

All right, we will start
evacuating the medical staff now.

I can't find Master Kim.

-EUNJAE: What do we do?
-DONGJU: Master Kim!

KYUNGSOOK (shouts): Please help!

SABU: They say that life

puts us to the test in two ways.

Either nothing happens

or everything happens all at once.
