DOCTOR CHA

EPISODE 14

PROFESSOR SEO IN-HO

Mom.

Eun-seo!

Are you treating me because it's payday?

Of course. It'll be a full-course meal, including dessert.

What are we eating?

Let's see. Beef?

Sounds good?

Why isn't she picking up?

Did something urgent come up?

Who are you calling like that?

It's the hospital.

I guess you're nervous that Seung-hi is in charge of my mother.

What are you on about?

Someone might hear you.

You listen carefully.

My mother may find out one day but now is not the time.

If you make a mistake and my mother finds out about our divorce

before she's treated and discharged, then…

I won't hold back.

Of course. But we haven't gotten a divorce.

Welcome.

There you are.

-Hello. -Hey.

Mother, you're here.

Yes, I feel bad for bothering you when you're so busy.

No, it's fine.

Even busier people do at least this much for their families.

-Let's go in, Mother. Let's go, Mom. -Okay.

Eun-seo, you have to eat a lot today, okay?

Do you see this? I'm wearing elastic pants.

Okay, let's eat until those pants rip.

How dare you try to seduce my man?

-Mother! -No!

-There must have been a misunderstanding! -Mother!

-You must be mistaken! -Mother!

Please let go of her! Let go first, and we can talk.

Ma'am, let go of her hand first.

-Are you okay? -What do we do?

Mother?

Look at this.

So you're the son who had an affair and raised a secret love child?

Be quiet!

No, Ms. Oh. It's not what you think!

Please cover your ears!

Like mother like son, both of you are cheaters!

Is it in your genes?

-Let go. -Please be quiet!

Ma'am, what did you just say?

Did you just say he had an affair and has a secret love child?

Yes!

He had an affair with his first love and has a daughter.

Did you not know?

Welcome.

Gosh, Grandma.

Goodness.

Excuse me.

Ms. Kwak.

I'm sorry.

Hey, let's go.

Go where?

Ms. Kwak.

I'll contact you soon. I'll explain everything then.

-Come on. -An affair is an affair!

What other explanation is needed?

Let go! I'm not going to stand back!

Wait.

Let's go out and talk for a minute.

Let go.

What are you two doing here?

We came to eat. Why else would we come here?

Just by coincidence?

Did all of you know about this?

Ms. Kwak.

Jung-min and I-rang too?

Jeong-suk, did you know too?

Mom.

Mom…

Where did In-ho go?

Of course it's by coincidence. Do you think we stalk you?

I'm sorry.

I'm all out of sorts right now.

But the situation here isn't great.

I'm sorry, but can you go eat somewhere else?

Why should we do that?

-Seung-hi. -I don't want to hide anymore.

I don't want to look pathetic in front of Eun-seo anymore.

If you go in there right now, you won't look pathetic.

You'll look downright deplorable.

Seung-hi, Eun-seo, please.

Save me just this once, please?

Seo In-ho, you bastard. Where are you?

Okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

Let us go to my place.

Does that include me?

Shall we go to another beef restaurant?

No, let's change the menu. What do you want to eat?

Are you still dating Dad?

You're not legally married and it's not like there's a custody issue.

So why are you still with him?

Eun-seo.

You'll understand once you meet someone you like later on.

These things aren't easy.

I understand that it isn't easy.

Do you not want to eat?

I'm not in the mood to have a meal.

Let's go and let off some steam.

-It's so spicy. -It's spicy?

You actually spend money on something this spicy?

You feel a sense of catharsis if you eat something this spicy.

Mom, you shouldn't have any more. You had gastric cramps recently.

It's okay. I'll have a little more.

This is actually kind of addictive.

-Right? -Yes.

Mom.

Let's go back to the US.

Let's go back

and start over.

You and me.

Do you

really have a child out of wedlock?

I'm sorry, Mother.

I guess it's true since you're saying you're sorry.

Who is the woman?

That lady before said it was with your first love…

Don't tell me…

Is it the professor in charge of me?

Professor Choi Seung-hi?

Mom…

That's why you wanted me to switch doctors? Right?

The truth is…

I'm sorry, Mother.

What I did is unforgivable.

These are the medicine and expensive cosmetics

that your mother gave to me as gifts.

Take them back.

But the cosmetics did nothing wrong--

I thought it was strange

when your mother started giving me expensive gifts

because she never did anything like that before.

But now I know that she bought these things for me

because she felt guilty about what her son had done.

Do you think I can take and use these knowing that?

Mom.

Mom, don't worry too much.

We'll resolve all this one way or another.

Exactly how will you resolve this?

I'm mad at you too.

You had surgery and barely survived.

Why would you keep this bottled up?

You work in the same place as that woman!

You must have felt such fury every single day!

Fine.

It's pointless for me to say what's right and wrong now.

But, In-ho.

Yes, Mother.

People can make mistakes and do the wrong thing.

But…

what separates humans from animals

is that humans can repent for their sins and ask for forgiveness.

No matter what happens between you two,

you should sincerely ask my daughter, whom you've hurt, for forgiveness.

Mother, what I did was wrong.

I'll spend the rest of my life reflecting and asking for forgiveness.

Please help her change her mind.

She wants to divorce me.

That matter is up to you two.

Get up. I have to go to the hospital.

Go to the hospital?

I have to go to the hospital and get my things!

Mom, you can't be discharged right now. Let's go tomorrow.

You deal with the procedures.

I want to sleep comfortably in my own home.

Let's hear the results before you get discharged.

If you were me, would you want to stay here?

Yes, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.

Right now?

The patient's brain MRI came out.

She had a headache for two months, right?

Yes, that's right.

If you look at the image,

it's white to the right of the middle cerebral artery.

A cerebral infarction occurred as the blood wasn't able to flow there.

If you look at the start of the right internal carotid artery

and the left vertebral artery, both show signs of stenosis.

But thankfully, fibrinolytic therapy can be done right away.

And we want to proceed immediately.

Yes, okay.

Doctor.

You must've been worried.

All the blood clots were broken down well.

She can get better right away, but it can differ for each case.

We'll follow up on her vitals and symptoms in the ICU

and monitor her progress through imaging tests.

I see.
