EPISODE 11

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

Gosh, hold on.

Hey, I haven't even pricked your finger yet.

Gosh, do it already.

What brings you here?

I heard you're here, so I came to say hello.

I should've gone to greet you first.

You'll be the chairman of Geosung sooner--

That hurt!

You asshole! Keep your hard feelings aside, will you?

Dr. Lee is watching. Watch your words.

Gosh, it hurts.

Did I prick too hard?

He had neungi baeksuk and can't digest it.

He asked me to prick his finger.

Gosh, you're a doctor.

Why not get a shot or take some medicine?

Medically, there's no proof that this works.

What are you talking about?

Ask oriental medicine doctors. There's so much evidence.

Gosh, that's gross. Why are you sucking your blood?

Nothing's coming out anyway.

The food is still sitting in my stomach. Maybe there's something else.

Gosh, I shouldn't have asked this quack for help.

Listening to this man's crazy nonsense

is giving me indigestion.

I'll go take some digestive medicine.

And clean out my ears.

Hey, wait up. Hey!

That prick, seriously.

Who do you take after?

Sorry?

Your father had no ambition for power whatsoever.

That is why he chose not to marry the minister's daughter

and eloped with the daughter of our housemaid instead.

Do you take after your mom?

But she'd at least be able to gauge the situation.

I'll leave if you have nothing else to say.

Why do I keep getting a feeling

that you may not be my brother Jae-hun's son?

But the paternity test couldn't have been wrong.

Your doubtful grandmother got it done three times already,

so I'm sure it's right.

Get back to work.

That punk.

In the past few decades,

there were even tougher challenges than that.

But I endured

and got through them.

If I let myself become weak now,

I'll never rise again, for good.

If I let myself fall apart here,

it'll be the end of me.

Look at you.

What about all the things that I've done to raise you?

Did I spend a fortune on your private education

and send you to med school just so that you can wash

patients' clothes here?

You should be in the operating room now holding a scalpel!

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

I haven't even heard you say that five times all your life so far.

You were always so bright, smart, and competent.

Neither your mom nor I have had to nag you even once.

Do you know that?

So why now out of all time?

Why, at this critical moment?

Why must you be such a hot mess?

Damn it!

Your grandmother told me to come here and help Kang.

She said I should help Kang

so that we can shut down the hospice as soon as possible.

Then she said she wants me to run the silver town

that we'll build here.

She told me to take good care of it

and pass it down to you.

What do you think it means?

She's basically saying

that the crummy silver town is all you and I are going to get.

She'll hand down Geosung to Kang.

It's her way of saying, "Take that and buzz off!"

God damn it!

DIRECTOR LEE SEUNG-HUN

I think it's game over now.

It looks like Mom's favorite

is Kang after all.

I mean, she was going to pass Geosung down to Jae-hun anyway.

Seo-hun.

Who did King Yeongjo pass the throne to even after Crown Prince Sado

died in a rice chest like that?

I would've kicked him out because I'd be afraid he might avenge his father's death.

But anyway, he passed the throne to Jeongjo, Crown Prince Sado's son.

For consistency and legitimacy's sake.

You know that King Yeongjo is my mom's role model, right?

Stop being so on edge all the time.

Get rid of those claws already. And your teeth too.

Don't your teeth hurt? You grit them all the time.

Seo-hun.

What, ma'am?

Enough already.

No one can spit on a smiling face.

Kang is very sweet and tenderhearted, you know.

Just sweet-talk him instead.

Coax him into giving you the things that you want. Then he'll--

Do you think...

I'm a beggar?

I'm just worried that you might end up as one.

This is the first sign that your demise may be near.

Why is this thing even here?

I think you lost your sense of smell due to the injury.

You might experience diplopia too,

but that will go away with time.

Then,

will my senses of taste and smell also come back eventually with time?

The traditional, on white bread. Medium size, please.

I'll get the same thing, but the regular size.

Did you have a house call?

Or did something bad happen?

Did you cry?

Did your patient pass away?

Do you want mine too?

Ji-yong said this sandwich made him happy.

Maybe eating more of this will make you happy.

Although I don't believe it.

Do I look unhappy to you?

Yes, a little.

But I'm not.

Right, who could be happier than you?

You're a doctor. You're handsome and popular with the ladies.

Oh, right. I got yelled at, big-time.

For telling you that the nurse, Ye-sol, and I

all know about you

having a crush on her.

-What? -The other day, remember?

I told you that I know you have a crush on her.

You were talking about the nurse? Nurse Bae Na-ra?

Yes.

I'm sorry

if I did anything to cause a misunderstanding.

I just realized

It's my mistake

and my fault.

I'm Min-seong's friend.

So, to me, you are...

I know what you mean.

To me, Dr. Lee...

You're still Min-seong's friend.

CAFETERIA

-What's going on? -What?

Oh, hello. Well...

The patient in 303 has food allergies, so I was just checking.

But it's been two days since that patient

passed away.

Right.

He did.

I was confused.

What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?

Could it be...

What is this delicious smell? Is it seaweed soup?

Yes.

Susan, you're making seaweed soup?

Who? Who is this "someone else"?

Well, I'm sorry to ask you this,

but could you taste the seaweed soup for me when it's ready?

Me?

You should taste it. You're the expert.

Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?

Ye-sol!

GEOSUNG HOSPICE

Ms. Han!

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

You're bad.

I waited for you because you told me to.

I kept waiting, but you never came back.

What are you talking about?

I told you to wait for me? Where?

You said it!

When you were going to the washroom.

My grandpa didn't even look at me.

I was so scared.

I'm sorry.

Ye-sol, you see...

Well, I was...

Because I was so scared of my grandpa

that I couldn't even give him the wedding invitation.

You said that you'd talk to him about it for me,

so I kept waiting for you there.

You're a liar!

My gosh, I don't remember that at all.

I don't remember what I promised to Ye-sol.

I have no recollection of it.

What do I do?

Remember my replacement, the lady from Taean?

Yes, right.

I know she's supposed to start next month, but could she come a bit earlier?

Well, sometime this month would be great.
