Coma (코마)

Hey, Mr. Lee. Come over here.

Why?

This section doesn't look right.

What is it?

There shouldn't be a wall here.

Do you want to take it down?

Mr. Kim, help me with this.

What are you doing?!

Aah!

Stop it! Wait a minute!

Let go of me. Damn it!

No! Stop it! Don't do that!

Hey! Get out of the way! Geez!

There's nothing behind that wall!

Then what's your problem, lady?

You must not open the door! Don't go there...

What is this place?

Gosh.

I thought you were hiding something special here.

Oh my god... You opened the door.

This is some freaky mental hospital.

Birthday Party

They unlocked the room! They opened it!

It's still alive! It's alive!

Hey Mister.

Watch what you're doing. That's an expensive piece of equipment.

Will you stop bothering me? Do you own this?

Just mind your own business. And pack your stuff, too.

Excuse me.

As you can see, we're closing down.

Our hospital went out of business.

Didn't you hear me?

I'm from the insurance company.

I came to meet the hospital director and Ms. Lee So-hee. She's a patient here.

So did you make a decision?

Actually, I came here to tell you

that our insurance company will not cover

Ms. Lee So-hee's transfer to another mental institution.

In that case, you could have just called us.

Why did you come here?

It's my job to check for any falsified insurance claims

as well as any cases where our company

might have been overcharged.

As you are aware, our hospital is closing down.

Is that more important than the patient's life?

Doctor, I think there's a misunderstanding.

Namwon Hospital signed an insurance policy

with us not Lee So-hee...

Since your hospital was found to be

at fault for causing Lee So-hee's medical problems,

our company has been paying her medical bills.

But when your hospital closes down,

our contract automatically expires.

In that event, we will not liable for

covering her medical expenses.

Do you want me to show you the contract?

We're talking about a patient's life here.

A hospital is not some charity organization.

And neither are we.

You can make an exception, can't you?

Please accept this money.

I just want to help my patient as best as possible.

Is this how you help your patients?

Let me first see the patient.

Oh, of course.

You still tremble a lot.

A hospital is not some charity organization.

Take care of this matter quietly.

Oh my goodness!

Where can I find Lee So-hee?

Get in.

This way.

No one has reported her missing and she has no visitors.

Come in.

Why is she placed

in the back of the room? She's the only patient here.

How would I know?

Even though she's in a coma, she looks fine.

It's a little creepy.

I need to go downstairs.

Come to the 1st floor after you're done.

These are her medical records.

That's all?

You can be prosecuted for

withholding records on purpose.

Why would we withhold her records?

What's inside that cabinet?

Oh, that?

I don't know if I should tell you this...

Oh well... Our hospital will close down by tomorrow so it's probably OK.

All records of patients who died here are placed in that cabinet.

Those records will get shredded.

Could you leave the room so I can study these records?

OK.

Come in...

Are you Lee So-hee's doctor?

Yes...

But who are you?

I'm from the insurance company.

We're going out of business so why are you here?

I checked Lee So-hee's medical records

and I found a few discrepancies with the records that we received.

The administration staff must have made a few mistakes.

In the records we received, it says that Lee So-hee slipped

into a coma after her operation. But in the nurse's report...

I can't help you. The administration staff quit already.

I can tell you how to reach them.

Then what about the numerous needle marks and

bruises on the patient's arm?

They didn't look normal to me.

Could you explain that to me?

When you're in a coma, you're not in a normal state, you know.

That's a very simple explanation.

Perhaps you prefer complicated answers.

Could you leave if you don't have anything else to say?

I still didn't finish packing my stuff.

If you do not cooperate with me then it might be impossible

for us to cover Lee So-hee's transfer to another hospital.

What did you just say?

You'll transfer her?

Who says you can do that?

Listen to me carefully.

I won't let you touch my patient.

I'll make you pay for it. So go home.

I'm a doctor not some cop who looks for missing people.

So go back home.

I won't let this happen!

It's over now.

I'm going to transfer Lee So-hee to another hospital no matter what.

Didn't you meet the insurance person?

Dr. Jang.

Why don't you visit your family in America?

Take a break for a month. You'll feel better after that.

I'll look for a position for you while you're away.

No thanks. Good luck.

I'll never come here again.

If you want to get answers ask the director.

He knows everything about this hospital.

Did you see the patient?

We should transfer her, right?

There's one thing that mystifies me.

Why is Dr. Jang obsessed with that patient?

I don't know.

I need answers if you want me to help your patient.

I can't tell you what I don't know.

Have we ever met before?

The records don't match and the doctor is out of his mind.

This is a strange hospital.

Nobody will cooperate with my investigation and

they're not giving me any answers.

This is a waste of time.

Sir, I'm going back.

Yoon-young, calm down.

You know, you always get irritated when we bring up that hospital.

I can't stand it here. I can't continue my work.

Alright.

Just gather all the records and return to the office,

Let's talk about this when you get back.

By the way, I heard that today is your birthday.

Sorry for ruining your day.

My birthday?

What? You forgot your own birthday?

That's so like you.

Oh, I have to go. I'll call you later.

The janitor eats human flesh with that mop.

You're lying.

It's true. I heard it.

He also pours blood into that bucket

and drinks it when there's a full moon.

Uh-oh!

Yoon-young, wait up for me!

Mrs. Kim Bok-ja from Bokseong, please come to the emergency room.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

Yoon-young!

Where are you?

Yoon-young, where are you? Yoon-young...

Let's hurry or else we'll be late for the birthday party.

The food is going to be great.

OK.

What are you doing? You're not gonna go?

Joo-hee, I'm sorry. I don't think I can go.

Hye-young might be crying.

What? What's your problem? You always change your mind.

I'll keep my promise on my birthday. We'll have fun then.

Joo-hee, Joo-hee...

Liar. You lie all the time.
