Blood
Episode 2
- Hello? - It's me, Ji Sang.
- What is it? - Are you playing a video game?
Wow, the gun sound effects sound totally real.
Game? Are you kidding? I'm busy. Bye!
Wait, wait!
I finally figured it out. The origin of that data.
Where?
Taemin Cancer Hospital in Korea.
To be more exact, that hospital's security database.
Doctor, please move the patient.
Yes... let's move out!
What are you going to do now?
Where did you find it?
It's someone's website, but its IP no longer exists.
But by digging through the code, I was able to find the originating site.
With some luck, I can even find the person who put it up.
- Where is this? - Kochenia Drota Plains Gravesite.
- Kochenia? - Yes.
A secret gravesite thought to be a legend.
Looking at their teeth and finger bones, they all look like infected individuals.
If you look carefully at the pictures, there are
signs that someone took pieces of their clothing.
According to what it says here...
the bodies of these infected had been hidden for 150 years.
And they were discovered by someone in they year 1976.
That person took samples of these infected individuals' clothing.
It was through those samples that they were able to orient the virus.
Bingo!
If it was discovered in 1976, that's three years before you were born.
If you consider the orientation process, the
timing coincides with your family's infection.
Then whoever uploaded this information is the one that created the virus?
That, we don't know. However...
The origin of this data could hold the clues to creating a cure for the virus.
[Seintdom Cancer Center, Canada]
Yes?
When?
The plan worked a lot faster than I thought it would.
Professor!
You don't even bother knocking anymore?
We have an urgent situation.
What urgent situation?
- We have to get into surgery soon. - The thing is...
The surgery has been rejected.
The Hematoma Department objected it.
What the...
Is the inauguration for the new director tomorrow?
Yes, it is.
It sure will cause a ruckus in the hospital.
It isn't just anyone, but the great Lee Jae Wook after all.
Oh yes... I hear we're getting someone new.
Yes. His name is Park Ji Sang. He was a famous surgeon in school.
Mayo, M.D. Anderson, Royal London, Muenchen...
are the places he was trained.
He's also a renowned researcher.
He's done a world tour.
Does he have some sort of issue?
Oh yes. And last year... He even volunteered in Kochenia.
Isn't that a bit of overkill?
Why's he going to a bloody place like that for?
Hey you!
Gosh, I'm in a rush.
Watch where you're going!
You will be issued your employee number and ID by tomorrow morning.
For today, you will only have access to your lab.
Please forgive me for the procedural delay.
That's fine.
I've prepared everything you requested.
I see that you've left some things out.
Please, let me know what I've missed.
As for the drinking water in my lab...
please make sure the pH level is at an eight.
And I'd like my meals to be custom-ordered.
I won't be using the employee cafeteria.
And please get me a cable channel showing Major League games.
I'd like season tickets for the LG Twins, as well.
Near the home dugout.
Yes, I will get that ready for you.
This patient is operable.
I'm telling you, I can operate.
With tumor in the body of the pancreas
it's possible the celiac artery was infiltrated.
In this patient's case, the CT's show this is true.
The CT's show that the excision is possible.
Take a proper look.
That is not possible.
When you open up the patient...
the tumor will have made its way towards the
celiac artery more deeply than the CT's show.
This patient must be treated with radiation combined with chemotherapy.
Do you think that will work on this patient?
We have a unique system in our hospital.
Before a surgery, if there is an error found..
The department and its consulting departments can stop the surgery.
The surgeon in charge must get extremely angry.
It's a method that everyone partakes in, so it's widely accepted.
Also, it's an Agora-style discussion, so it can get very interesting.
- Agora? - Yes.
The Chairman has always pushed for open discussion.
He must be a very democratic man.
I have not changed my mind.
For now, we must stick to radiation and chemotherapy to avoid harming the patient.
Are you just having trouble comprehending what I'm saying right now?
I know that this is an open discussion.
But, let's not forget basic manners... Doctor Yoo.
First, I apologize.
Now, hypothetically... let's say that
hypothetically that the tumor spread further.
- If I separate the artery in stages. - What separation...
Who the heck are you?
That, I recognize.
Who are you to suddenly barge in...
I was planning on introducing him later, but why don't we do it now?
Starting today, he will be the Team Manager of
Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery (HPB) Team 1.
This is Doctor Park Ji Sang.
Team 1?
That doctor up there... with the makeup on like an LA girl.
My name is Yoo Ri Ta.
I am Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
What stages will you take in a case like this?
There is no such method in the world.
If you look at this from a surgical point of view, excision is impossible.
So, is radiation and chemotherapy the right course of action?
No, that's not it either. The liver will not last.
Then, do you have an alternate solution?
Appleby operation.
When a tumor becomes difficult to reach because
of the location of the celiac artery...
the surgery becomes inoperable and many doctors tend to give up.
However, using the Appleby method, you can just get rid of the celiac artery.
If you use this method, the liver will no longer have an artery supplying blood.
And in order to use the Appleby method, we need a different set of indicators...
Focus very hard with your pupils and look at every inch of that slide.
SMA...
The SMA will provide blood into the right artery of the liver.
So, even without the celiac artery, blood will be supplied.
There is always the right artery.
- However, the Appleby is too risky and... - You've never done it, have you?
I suppose if you haven't tried it, it's understandable to be scared.
You don't have to do it, if you're scared.
I'm not scared at all.
I'm going to do it my way.
I guess you're the one who just can't comprehend people.
Please enter your pin number.
Your safe is now open.
How could Doctor Park be Manager of the HPB Surgery team?
I was told that a new surgeon was coming. No one told me anything like this!
I'm very sorry.
I was planning to tell you after the conference.
Team 1 will consist of Team Manager Park and Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
- It will be run by the two of them. - Excuse me?
And you will manage HPB Surgery Team 2.
Doctor Gerrard Kim and Doctor Lee Ho Yong will work with you.
How can that young kid be a Team Manager?
I apologize.
And what exactly is the difference between Team 1 and 2?
Team 1 will be in charge of liver transplants.
Doctor Park Ji Sang may be young, but he is very talented.
He is experienced in liver transplants.
This re-organization of the structure...
Were you the one who made it happen, Associate Director?
No, that's hardly the case.
The Chairman and the new Director came to this hiring decision together.
Please, Manager Woo. Let's come to an agreement on this.
What? Makeup like an LA girl?
His face looks like he has white flour pasted all over it.
And did you eat chili rice cake and not wipe your mouth?
Why are your lips so red?
Who told you, you could do this surgery?
- You startled me. - I asked, who permitted this surgery?
Manager Woo Il Nam.
From what I know, you're my team member.
First of all, you may refer to me as Doctor Yoo.
This patient was here before you became my Manager.
So, Doctor Woo and I are the surgeons in charge.
Regardless who's in charge, the surgery won't work.
Look here, you.
You may refer to me as Team Manager, not you.
Cancel this surgery.
What are you doing out here, Doctor Yoo?
If you act this way, what use was the debate?
There is an error right in front of your very eyes.
It's not an error, just a difference in perspective.
- Get inside the operating room. - Yes.
I guess you call 'a difference in skill', 'a difference in perspective'?
The Chairman is coming. Please stand.
Chairman, that man over there is the new...
I apologize.
I should have welcomed you myself. But, I had an important meeting.
- It's not a problem. - Here. Let us sit.
Vitals?
BP is 110 over 60.
Heart rate is 88 and O2 saturation level is at 97%.
We will now begin patient Kim Jung Keun's pancreatic tumor removal now.
Scalpel.
Oh yeah. Our team should be going out for another dinner party soon.
This time, let's go somewhere unique... not just another BBQ restaurant.
Bovie.
She can be prideful, but she's a surgeon with great potential.
She finished her fellowship at CSU University Hospital and came here.
Other people say that she's a genius.
I, myself, don't really know.
I know she thinks very highly of herself, but she's still very lacking.
I hope you can teach her many things.
This is a personal favor I'm asking you.
I don't think it needs to be me specifically.
Still, I'd like to ask you.
She's my only niece.
Lee Sun Kyun, find a good party venue.
Okay.
Gauze. That's right. A cosplay party. That sounds fun.
Starting separation procedure now. Step by step, slowly.
At least this seems safer than the Appleby Operation.
Do you really think so?
Well, Appleby is more of a risky procedure,
and has greater chance of complications.
That's true, but it can be the last hope. To the patient.
What?
A skilled surgeon performing Appleby.
That's the best option right now.
It's going well, right?
Now, she's getting ready to throw the grenade.
This time, let's have a cool and fun party.
We need to decide on the theme first.
I think the celiac artery just ruptured.
Ka....boom.
What should we do, professor?
Doctor Yoo, don't panic. Start the compression for now.
It's hard to control the bleeding with arterial suture at this stage.
I got it. Please just keep quiet. Start compression.
Clamp.
One more.
What should we do, Manager?
We should've thought this through more...
Manager Park. What do you think we should do?
Unlocked.
This is nothing. We can stitch this up. Start suturing.
Doctor Yoo, as Manager Oh said, you shouldn't rush.
- Move your hand. - Professor.
I said move your hand.
Suture.
The bleeding is too severe.
Pulse 130. BP 60 over 40 and dropping.
Start compression again.
Hurry up and su... su... no, start blood transfusion.
His BP continues to drop. We can't keep going.
Keep the transfusion going.
You realize you're pouring blood into a bottomless pit.
What are you doing in here?
- Move aside. I will do it. - What?
- What kind of protocol is this? - 'This is my patient.'
Let's not use such a cliche saying, and just step aside.
If you're too upset, you can leave.
- Who are you to say I should leave? - Let Manager Park take over.
Transfer the operation to him, and come up here.
Uncle!
This is an operating room. Address me properly.
Everyone, this is your first surgery with me.
I look forward to working together.
Now, we will begin the Appleby Operation.
I guess everyone only saw it in textbooks.
Don't be intimidated. Yes, Sir.
Let's start by turning off that loud alarm. Suction.
With such excessive bleeding, I wonder if it's
possible to secure the celiac artery.
You can only see as much as you know.
As much as you know.
Now, I'll begin securing the celiac artery.
Bovie.
Right angle.
What is he planning to do?
Once the celiac artery is isolated and secured
one can use the clamps to stop the bleeding.
But as it is now, it's not easy. Maybe impossible.
Clamp.
Uncle! How could you do that to me?
Let's talk later. You should watch the surgery now.
How... did he control the bleeding so quickly?
He got lucky.
Maybe his ancestors are helping him.
Vitals.
Saturation, heart rate, BP all back to normal now.
We'll cut the celiac artery on this side of the clamp. Metzembaum.
It's okay. I'm not sweating.
Suture.
Out.
Cut
Now, we'll excise the tumor.
Bovie.
Control the bleeding and finish up.
You don't need me for that, do you?
Great job.
Should I just kill myself?
- Keep your cool. - Really, where did such a thing...
You can't call him a thing. You read many of his papers and books, didn't you?
I'm going to set all his papers and books ablaze.
Right now. Immediately.
And you! Why didn't you agree with me during the conference?
Hey, how can I when my supervisor was there?
What's with the way he speaks to people? He's so rude!
- Still... Isn't he a bit sexy? - What? Sexy?
Honestly, I never watched a surgery like that.
And his looks are... well...
You think he has good looks? Him?
Yes. Isn't he like in top 0.1% of the population, looks-wise?
- Anyways, do you know how old he is? - I don't know, 37, 38 or something.
Oh my. And he looks that young?
He totally looks like he's in his early twenties.
Amazing. He must have a great anti-aging regimen.
Maybe it's his genes?
How can you... when I was ridiculed by him?
Ri Ta!
- You must've been so upset before. - That's none of your business.
- None of your business? None, south... Business, moving...
Oh! Are you moving to Kang Nam?
Just for you, Ri Ta, I made a reservation at a very famous French restaurant.
Gerald Fronsac, an exceptional chef, makes the best foie gras...
Duck liver... please eat to your heart's content, Professor.
Ri Ta.
Ri Ta!
No need to check. He's stable.
You dropped honorifics all of a sudden.
Isn't that Korean culture? Work superiors speaking casually to juniors.
You learned those things rather quickly.
And those records belong to me.
If you need them, take them.
Check his vitals again. Come to my office after.
What's with ordering me around?
Professor, I have to perform an enema. Can you give us the room?
Oh, sure. Yes, it should not be blocked.
What's with your attitude when you botched your surgery?
I did nothing wrong.
Had you left me alone, I would've finished it successfully.
As there are no hypotheticals in history, there are no hypotheticals in surgery.
I got it.
Punish me or embarrass me even more. Do whatever you want.
- I'll let you get off the hook this time. - Why?
Are you afraid of the consequences?
You heard of special pardons, right?
Granting a pardon to someone who has committed a crime.
On Independence Day or something like that.
Forgetting your mistake today
is a special pardon for my inauguration.
Wow, I'm so thankful I can't handle it. This is awesome.
And one more thing.
I got that from Chile. It's a limited edition.
I stood in line for two hours to get it.
Thanks to you, the frame is broken.
You want me to reimburse you? How much is it? I'll pay.
I don't need money. Just get me the exact same pair.
- What? - It's not like I can go back to Chile.
Okay, I'll get them. The exact same pair.
And lastly.
Others may be more careful with you
but I don't cater to those things.
Hey you, I mean, Manager, I never flaunted the fact that I'm the Chairman's niece.
This is our team's performance reviews.
Whether it's during conferences or in
surgery, if you display an attitude like that
this review will be filled in with a list of your flaws.
There will be no empty space.
Write up whatever you want.
Very soon, I'm going to step all over you.
Oh no, it's bleeding.
Happy birthday LUUVY.
Your owner must be home.
Temperature 25 degrees. Normal.
Blood pressure 101 over 49. Normal.
Pulse 21. Normal.
Your bed has been set up.
Oh... I am so tired from unpacking.
Have you found out anything about the origin of the gravesite data?
- No, I ran into an issue. - Issue?
Taemin Cancer Hospital's database...
Suddenly, this morning they tightened the security. I just can't get through.
It's totally air-tight.
Are they building nuclear weapons or something?
Oh yeah.
If you're a Manager, you get secure access don't you?
I'll be getting my employee number and ID tomorrow morning.
Okay, once you get, I need to go inside the system.
You came a long way so you must be tired. I'll drive you to your house.
Thank you.
By the way...
Has Doctor Park Ji Sang arrived well?
He made quite the impact as soon as he arrived.
He's much more exceptional than what I had expected.
It is only the beginning.
You will see some truly amazing things.
But, how is it that you got Doctor Park to come to our hospital?
You two are not exactly friendly.
I was able to pique his curiosity.
There is no better motivator than that.
May I ask you what you did to pique his curiosity?
It was nothing medical, but something regarding his self-being.
Yes.
I have a present for you.
Come in, LUUVY.
I made this in secret for two years, and I put my heart and soul into it.
Its name is LUUVY.
It comes from 'love.' L-U-U-V-Y.
Okay, say hello to your master LUUVY.
Walkie talkie, Macintosh.
It's very nice to meet you, Master.
- That robot talks funny. - I modeled it after my own speech.
Most robots talk in such a boring and stiff manner.
From now on, LUUVY will do your health checks.
Why did you bother making a useless thing like that?
What do you mean, why? It's for you, Ji Sang.
To tell you the truth, LUUVY is built for love... love.
He has 20,000 videos, songs, voices, and other data related to love.
He can respond to over 8000 different Q&A's...
all related to love and anything you want to know about it.
Hey... you know I'm not interested in anything to do with love, right?
It's bad for my health.
The kind of love I'm talking about isn't
shallow love, where you're high on dopamine.
I'm talking about agape love. You need some of that.
- You are so dry, right now.
- I don't need it, so you take it and play.
Also, LUUVY can read your facial expression and read your mood.
Father, you are happy right now.
Your girlfriend's parents must be out of town.
What? Father?
Father, you are sad right now.
There must be another man in your girlfriend's house.
You see, you see? Look.
If you meet a girl you like, what are you supposed to say?
Can you not go home tonight? Can you stay out with me?
I think that's moving a little fast. Try something else.
Hey you... you're mine! What color is your underwear?
Kiss... kiss.
Don't come on so strong. Start at level one!
You come in here with a perverted robot.
Get out.
Both of you, get out!
Talk about a bad temper!
Have you arrived?
Go home and rest, for now.
What? Special pardon?
Come on! Really?
Is our Ji Sang eating and cooking his yummy food?
Wow! What is that? I don't think that's what Mommy made you?
Ji Sang. Look over here. Look up here... Look up at Mom.
Wink.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Eat lots, quickly... I'm going to catch you!
If you get caught by Mommy, I'm going to kiss you a million times.
You're on a horse? I can still chase you. I can run. I can run!
- Ji Sang, what's that? - It's the sun.
- Our Ji Sang, you're drawing the sun? - Yes.
Wow, that is such a good drawing!
Oh, it's hot. It's hot.
Can you show Mom your pretty drawing?
I'm so excited to see it... tada!
Wow! You did a very, very good job.
Do you have a date today?
What are you doing? Stop filming!
Why? You look so handsome.
Wow. You are so very handsome.
- Don't do that. I'm going to use this. - Stop filming.
If you're watching this now...
something very bad must have happened.
I hope you never have to see this.
If you are watching this...
listen to Mom's words, carefully.
You are not a monster... you are infected with a virus.
You have been infected with a virus called VBT-01.
Your father and I were infected.
And because you were born to us, you were infected, as well.
Your father felt apologetic until the day he died.
So very much...
The reason we were on the run was because of others that were infected.
They wanted to use the virus for bad purposes.
Your father and I did not agree.
While we hid, we tried to find a cure.
We failed.
Back then, they found us... And I ran away with you.
Your father?
He died...
while protecting us.
You want to know who killed your father, don't you?
But... I will not tell you.
If I tell you, you'll go after them.
Then... what would happen to you?
You must grow stronger!
Strong enough to face them.
Once you have that strength...
you'll be able to find out on your own.
Whether they come after you or you go after them...
So, for now... get as far away as you possibly can.
With the abilities that you have, the possibilities are endless.
Just like you saved that child with your abilities...
save yourself.
And someday, you'll save many others too.
Ji Sang.
I know you can do it.
Because you're my son and your father's son.
I'm very sorry...
that I'm not there with you.
I love you... my son.
Park Ji Sang.
The lock is now released.
The door is now open.
The door is now closed.
Good morning, Master.
Hey, turn the volume down. It's too early for this noise.
Empty stomach. Empty stomach.
Please eat for proper brain functions.
Human brain burns one quarter of daily calorie intake.
Get this thing to shut up, Hyun Woo!
Ji Sang.
I still have medicine left.
I figured you'd have more surgeries, so I
increased the dose and made a new compound.
I'm going.
Have a wonderful day, Master!
[Welcome! Inauguration Ceremony for Director Lee Jae Wook]
Manager Park?
Those are the same pair, aren't they?
This case is also made from crocodile leather from the amazon.
Where did you get these?
The sunglass stand in front of the main entrance of the hospital.
A sunglass stand? Isn't this a fake imitation?
Don't you see the certificate of authenticity on the bottom of the case?
Chile?
Limited Edition, yeah right?
A stand?
[Friday 10, HPB Resident Interviews]
If I were to become a resident here...
I would like to share everything I learned at Stanford.
Here... in my father's country.
And I know that I'll become the top surgeon here at this hospital.
Your grades... research results...
and even your performance assessments are all fantastic.
- Thank you. - Next.
- Sung Won University Hospital? - Yes.
Excuse me, do you speak English?
I'm sorry. I'm not very good at English.
Miss Min Ga Yeon.
Sung Won University Hospital may be the best in this country but
We at Taemin Cancer Hospital don't think that.
Yes, I'm very aware of that.
What made you apply to our hospital?
My mother...
she passed away at this hospital.
When I was 10 years old, she was in her last stage of ovarian cancer.
Other hospitals gave her two months to live.
She got treated here and lived for eight months.
During those extra eight months...
I was able to share precious moments with my mother.
That's when I decided to become a doctor.
Even if there's no hope...
I want to give the patients a chance to live longer.
A touching story, but...
feelings are not enough to be a surgeon here.
We need something more practical...
You can start today.
- What? - Don't make me repeat myself.
Manager, we all need to discuss first...
What discussion? I'm putting her in my team.
This is the last group, right?
You are making things difficult.
I decided that she'll be in my team. What's the issue?
- Manager! - That...that...
Professor.
It's an honor to be able to meet you in person.
I used all your books to study.
- From now on, don't force sentiments. - Yes?
Are you starring in some medical show?
No, I was just trying to be sincere...
Oh why did I get chosen?
You look like you don't need much sleep. People
who look like you don't need much sleep.
I'm the new Manager.
Yes I know. I heard a lot about you.
I'm the Head Nurse Lee Young Joo.
I'm Nurse Lee Hae Young.
I'm Nurse Chae Da Song.
I only need to know your position.
It's not like we'll be on a first name basis.
Looks like we have the king of jerks here.
Get back to work.
In my opinion...
Medical treatments...
need to be like a mini skirt.
Treatment duration should be short, but
what needs to be covered should be covered.
It can't be too short either.
Things that should be covered become revealed.
Before I am a Director, I am a Surgeon.
I'm saying that I'm not a professional businessman.
Therefore.
Within the limits of hospital not going bankrupt, I'll invest in the facility.
Chairman's face looks a bit pale?
Chairman has built a fee-free ward for this society.
People with no income.
Orphans.
And others with low income. A ward providing
completely free services to them.
I sincerely respect you, Chairman.
By this point, isn't it time for an applause?
At this hospital, that faithfully fulfills its duty to our society, I will
strive for results that are not possible in any other hospitals in the world.
I'll give it my all.
And I will fulfill my duty as a surgeon.
Thank you.
I guess he decided to come after all.
He wanted to show his face to the Director.
He's not any different from the rest of us.
Doctor Park Ji Sang?
I recognized you from afar.
It's an honor to have you.
The honor is all mine, meeting a person from Times cover.
Compared to you who did volunteer work in Kochenia, I'm ashamed.
It's just a job I enjoyed doing.
I heard that there's a conference later today.
I'll see you then.
The case of Lee Hyung Tae's tumor in his liver.
Since this is a major hepatectomy, the plan is to approach from the abdomen.
This patient has a mass in this entire section of his liver.
- So...
- More than anything, he'll need a quick surgery.
This patient is a weak 72 year old.
A surgery with long duration can be risky for this patient.
- If that's the case, we can quickly... - Manager Park?
- Yes? Major hepatectomy.
You hold the record for shortest surgery time, right?
If done in that time...
there won't be as much risk to the patient.
This is my personal suggestion.
This operation.
What do you think about asking Manager Park to do it?
Manager Woo is the surgeon in charge.
And the end result won't be much different.
It's not just about time. Manager Park
is known to keep bleeding to its minimum.
The patient's complete recovery should
become higher priority than our convenience.
I'd like you take it on, Manager Park?
Sure, why not.
Ok then, go check on the patient and prep for surgery right away.
I need to go to my office briefly.
I'm sorry if this upset you.
I was only putting the patient first.
I may be out of line, but
our department has its own rules and policies.
The previous Director respected them as well.
Department policies...
are they above patient care and their lives?
- I...
- The place we are at now, isn't it a hospital?
If you agree with my views
please gladly accept my suggestion.
That way I won't feel bad.
[Taemin Cancer Hospital Security Database]
[Access Denied. You are not authorized.]
- Hello? - Manager, we are done with surgery prep.
I'll be on my way.
From now.
We'll start the tumor removal.
Anesthesia is complete.
BP 130 over 70.
Heart rate 98. Saturation level is 99%.
Scalpel.
Subtitles by DramaFever
It wasn't the dosage, it was a completely different pill!
In normal situations that's true, but in surgeries, success is the most important.
The bigger problem is that someone knows that you're taking those pills.
Even your identity as well.
We are not evils or monsters. We are just superior beings.
Will Manager Park join us?
He's not part of this, and he can't know about this either.
Did you cause trouble again?
Do you think I always cause problems?
The thing that's most needed by Park Ji Sang... is that.
