EPISODE 4

Min-seong told me to give you this.

Me?

Yes.

He asked me to make sure

to give this

to whoever brought the dumpling stew.

Cha-young,

thanks for the dumpling stew.

I just knew it.

I could tell right away that you made it.

You went to Greece because of Kang, didn't you?

The Peter Pan from your childhood you always talked about.

Kang is that boy, isn't he?

My wallet isn't here. Did I leave it in the movie theater?

-Gosh, I'll be right back. -Cha-young. It's raining though.

Cha-young!

I happened to see that photo inside your wallet.

The one where the two of us were out of focus,

but Kang, who was smiling, looked very clear and sharp.

Kang and I are going fishing today.

I'm going to tell him when I see him.

That you remembered and waited for him for many years.

To tell you the truth, I've tried to tell him a number of times,

but I lost the chance to do so, being the petty-minded guy that I am.

I'm sorry.

You couldn't be with him because of me.

This time, don't let him go anywhere.

Before it gets too late.

I've learned that

life is too short to waste time fooling ourselves.

I'd like to thank you one more time.

Your dumpling stew is the most delicious dish

I've ever tasted in my life.

Take good care of Kang.

I made

dumpling stew for him.

Min-seong

really enjoyed it.

I understand that it's hard for you to accept Min-seong's death,

but you should give him a good send-off.

Don't make him wait for too long, Kang.

Taxis rarely come by around here.

Because it gets dark, and it's raining.

Where are you headed?

Drop me off anywhere

where I can catch a taxi.

Are you going back to Greece?

Yes.

Have a safe flight back.

And I hope we never meet again.

Okay.

Let's stop for a moment here.

You see,

I call him Peter Pan.

I only met him once when I was a little girl.

He was my first love.

I met him again when I got older, too.

But I was still

so excited to see him,

and he made my heart flutter.

Although he didn't even recognize me.

I'm such a fool, aren't I?

Mom.

Mom...

Mom.

Mom.

Where am I?

Am I

dead?

No, you're alive.

You can hear me, right?

Ma'am,

are you here by my side?

I'm right by your side,

so don't be scared.

Let's get out of here alive, okay?

You can hear me, right?

Answer me, sweetie.

Sweetheart.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Do not give up, sweetie.

Sweetie.

We must live.

Sweetie?

Sweetie...

Cha-young.

Cha-young!

Sir, what did you eat yesterday?

Yesterday? Nothing much.

Judging from the symptoms, I think you have enteritis.

But you should still get a CT scan just in case.

It's too expensive though.

No, it's not. Insurance covers it nowadays.

Chang-gi!

Hey, Kang.

What's going on?

This woman needs a checkup.

Oh, okay. This way.

The fracture in her rib and right shoulder blade

caused a lung contusion.

The CT scan shows significant lung damage.

I drained it through a chest tube as a temporary measure.

But I think you need a CT scan as well.

What's taking NS so long?

They got rid of NS a year ago.

They got rid of Neurosurgery?

They never hired anyone after the professor retired.

It's hard to find qualified candidates in the countryside, and it's not profitable.

This lady is in serious condition,

but you look even worse now.

Kang, let's go get a CT scan immediately. Please?

Where is the closest hospital that is equipped for neurosurgery?

-Daejeon. -How far is it from here?

It's about an hour away.

Come on, you need a CT scan immediately.

We still have all the neurosurgical tools, right?

What are you thinking?

Cha-young...

I mean, this lady. I think she has an epidural hematoma.

It's spread about 10mm already.

We need to remove the blood clot at once,

or it could cause severe neurological disorders.

Her life may be put at risk as well.

So? What are you going to do?

I'll operate on her.

Kang, open up. Please?

You're in no condition to perform surgery.

Kang!

Hey, you're the one that needs to undergo surgery now.

Kang, I beg you. Let me in, please?

Painkillers won't be enough for this.

Hey, open this door this instant.

Yes.

Yes, what's up?

What?

I'm Lee Kang, a neurosurgeon from the main hospital.

This branch has no neurosurgery department

but this patient is in critical condition, so I'll be performing her surgery.

Thank you all for your help.

-Please get ready. -Yes, doctor.

Sweetie.

What's your name?

Cha-young.

Moon Cha-young.

Moon Cha-young.

That's a pretty name.

What is your name, ma'am?

My name is

Jung Su-hui.

Jung Su-hui.

Scalpel.

Are you scared?

No, not anymore.

Because you're here with me.

But

I'm sleepy, and I feel weak.

Can you reach out your hand? Towards this crack where I am.

Hold on.

A little more.

Just a little more.

Hang on.

What is this?

It's chocolate.

OPERATION TIME 31 MINUTES

Gauze.

-Suction. -Suction.

My son

loves chocolate.

I bought it for my son,

but I don't think I'll make it.

This chocolate is good.

Even if it's hard,

you must hold out until help arrives.

Eat the chocolate

and...

get out of here alive,

Cha-young.

Okay.

How are her vitals?

Her systolic BP is 150. Her vitals are stabilizing.

I'd like to do her chest and orthopedics next,

in a combined operation.

Will that be okay?

It should be fine.

-But you look like you're in pain. -I'm fine.

Thank you, everyone.

I told you that I can beat him on my own.

I repeatedly told you I'm competent enough to beat that little jerk.

Why won't you believe me?

Leave!

No, you leave.

If you don't want Chairman Jo to die on the operating table,

you're the one who should leave.

Let's get ready.
