Blood
[Episode 10]
What is this? Even the graveyard pictures are here.
Chief Jung's father... These are Doctor Jung Han Su's logs.
Doctor Jung Han Su?
The doctor I respect the most. A legend in infectious disease medicine.
I was reading through the old articles and found something new.
Scroll down.
- Mom? - Look at the next picture.
[Taemin Cancer Hospital New Drug...]
[There are no results for your search.]
This caller is not available. Please leave a message.
Editor, this is Choi Kyung In.
Why can't I get a hold of you?
Once you hear this, call me right away?
Chairman.
How could you do something like this?
Did you think I wouldn't know... if you released an article in secret?
Tell me why you did this.
Tell me right now!
It was for Taemin, of course.
For Taemin?
Telling the world about this is for Taemin?
You were willing to go this far to get rid of the Director?
No that's not it.
I wanted to do this to wake you up from your misjudgment.
What? My misjudgment?
You're falling for all of the Director's flattery and letting him have his way.
If we're not careful, one person can make Taemin's honor crumble to the ground.
The Director is one of the top medical scholar's in the world.
He is not someone who should be judged so carelessly by you.
Does my 20 years at Taemin mean nothing? Do my thoughts mean nothing to you?
I am the Associate Director of Taemin.
I have the right to judge...
That position is too much for you.
But because I thought you had put in your due, I gave you that position.
Am I that lacking for the position of Associate Director?
I have done everything you have ever asked for, Chairman.
Even things I shouldn't have.
So... have you decided to shove that in my face now?
I apologize. That wasn't my intention.
If you do anything like this again...
it won't be the hospital you leave, but Taemin entirely.
This is my last warning.
- Uncle. - Oh, yes.
What exactly were you thinking?
Why did you get rid of the meeting system?
And why aren't you allowing the doctors to have their say?
That's not what I'm doing. I'm just minimizing wasteful disputes.
Did the Director tell you to get rid of the meeting system?
- Does he not want us to start talking? - Ri Ta!
- Why else would you make this decision? - I told you to focus on your own work!
Uncle...
You all don't focus on your own duties and sticks your nose into other things.
You and the Associate Director... You are all the same!
You don't think about me, even a little bit.
Are you okay?
I'll get going now.
Is that true?
Yes. I've never seen him like that.
I had no idea.
I'll take him aside and make sure he gets a medical exam.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
Oh right... I'm sorry, Auntie.
You got in trouble with Uncle because of me, didn't you?
No, don't worry about it.
It's just one more to add in the 20 years I've worked for him.
I remember what my father said long time ago.
He said that you never really do anything wrong.
But that Uncle is always getting mad at you.
Yes.
My mom really liked you a lot, as well.
She said you were pretty, upright, and smart.
I do miss the two of them.
They were very good to me.
Your mother treated me like I was her real younger sister.
What can I do for you?
It's been a long time, Chief.
Sorry to interrupt.
I'll come find you another time.
Do you think he's here because of the cancellation of the meeting system?
Perhaps.
I will talk to him another time.
Is there a strong backlash from all the other doctors?
More than I expected.
Haven't we seen this happen all over the world?
It will eventually subside.
As long as it does not impact their work in a big way.
Nonetheless, I'm sorry you had to come out here again.
Oh no. I had other business to take care of..
I will show you something even more powerful and moving today.
Why don't we go?
Ji Sang, just calm down.
Right now, everything is like a piece of string that's in a knot.
If you try to untie it a hurry, the string might break.
So gently... untie it slowly.
How are you saying we should untie it?
Don't show Chief Jung this picture of Director Lee.
I don't think Chief Jung has seen this article.
Therefore, he has no idea that this picture exists.
He doesn't know about the Director either.
If he sees that picture, he'll be shocked.
Not only is the Director there, he hasn't aged at all since then.
That's right.
Chief Jung cannot find out about the existence of the infected.
Only ask him about the relationship between your parents and Doctor Jung Han Su.
As for the Director, be cautious until we know everything.
The story he told you before doesn't quite make sense anymore.
Oh right, Ji Sang... Have you ever seen your father's face?
It's quite fortunate.
The article made it clear that they were married.
Otherwise, we may not have... Well, never mind.
He looks exactly like you!
I would have known who your father was just on first glance.
It's not what you're thinking. Stop it.
Ha! What do you mean 'not'. You two slept in the same room...
Hey! What are you saying?
The things you say...
You two had this look in your eyes.
And you were holding his face just like this.
Hey! There's no way out of this. There is no way to back out.
- The thing is... - Well, look who's coming.
- Hey! - What?
It's gone. This.
What?
The sutures on his face.
Chief Park's face is clean.
What do you mean, sutures?
It was a very slight scratch that healed and he took the bandage off.
Scratch? What scratch?
When you took the bandage off, there were suture marks....
Girl, what are you talking about?
Hey... Ri Ta.
This is your father... Doctor Jung Han Su, am I right?
Yes.
You found out.
He's a world famous infectious disease specialist.
He saved many lives through the viruses that he discovered.
Well, thank you for saying that.
Do you perhaps...
know these people?
They probably worked for my father in his lab.
When my father was actively researching, I was still very young.
So I don't remember anything.
These two are a married couple.
Are their names Hyun Seo and Sun Young by chance?
Yes.
I have seen their names written in my father's journal.
I want to know what Doctor Jung Han Su and his lab were researching.
I'm referring to your father's journal... and the logs he kept.
Have you stolen my research files now?
I'm sorry for that, but I need to know.
- You have no right, Chief. - Because of those two people, I do.
That married couple that worked with your father...
They are my parents.
Oh my god!
Well, that really is too bad.
He was in a really good mood yesterday in the cafeteria.
He was sure he was going to be promoted to Chief.
But, how could this happen to him over the course of a day?
- Who? - Oh, Doctor Yoo.
You know... Doctor Lee from Internal Medicine.
What happened to Doctor Lee?
Yesterday after drinking too much, he fell off a parking garage.
You want to share the research my father and your parents did together?
This seems a bit forced.
This research is like an family heirloom to me.
Who shares an heirloom?
You're right. I'm asking for a lot.
However, I will be able to further supplement that research.
I won't be taking away from it.
I can provide more than enough support.
You will be the sole owner of that research.
Give me some time to think for now.
Yes, take all the time you need.
Have you heard the news?
- What? - Doctor Lee of Internal Medicine.
He had an accident at the parking garage at his home, he fell and died.
- How did that happen? - He was extremely drunk.
He came into ward 21A with liver cancer.
And he has also developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease of the nervous system.
It's an acute paralysis of the peripheral nerve.
The patterns of his symptoms are most similar to yours, Chairman.
His state looks so bad that he cannot even get up.
This video shows the patient before he received the first and second round of medication.
How can this be...
You are seeing the patient three days after receiving the reagent.
The reagents are regenerating the insulating material like the myelin sheath of neurons.
We discovered this in the morning and that's why we wanted to show you.
He's no longer having convulsions.
If he continues to get treatment, it looks like he will be able to walk.
Yes.
The sample yesterday showed its effect on a tumor.
Today's sample shows its effect on a damaged nervous system.
I really wanted you to see this.
This is what you meant about utility vaccine, right?
That's right.
Before or after the onset of a disease
this antigen can free people from all kinds of illnesses.
Well...
With this much progress, maybe I can be a test subject now?
Can you wait just a bit longer? Just a little longer.
- Doctor Choi. - Yes?
Get the blood kit.
Where are we going?
- 21A. - What?
We'll start testing their infections and treatments.
That's handled by Infectious Disease and the New Drug Team.
Do you still trust them? Follow me.
I'll be drawing blood from the patients.
Chief, did you get permission to?
No, I'll take the responsibility, so don't worry.
Chief. Chief! Chief!
I won't let you take the fall, so don't worry.
It's not about that.
I'm worried that you might get in trouble for no reason.
If I get in trouble, I get in trouble.
Chief, you also think it's strange, right? I mean Doctor Lee from Internal Medicine.
Well, it could be a coincidence.
But he did die a few days after he sided with the Director.
But most importantly, I specialize in drunkenness so I know.
He can navigate through the parking lot with his eyes closed.
He wouldn't fall off the building like that.
Now you are CSI.
Everything feels wrong.
Even the smallest things.
What's going on? Did something happen?
At least say something before you leave!
You can't leave here. Please wait here.
- Move. - You can't leave.
What should we do?
Drawing blood is not allowed without permission.
Hand over the blood samples and please leave.
- Move. - I told you that's not possible.
Since when did the security get in the way of a doctor's medical treatments?
This isn't part of a treatment. It's against the hospital bylaws.
I don't care about the bylaws or whatever.
If you keep this up, we'll have to use physical force.
Move.
Whenever something comes up, you want to use physical force!
My thoughts exactly.
And are the doctors intruders or spies?
My thoughts exactly.
Chief, if you keep this up, it'll complicate things more.
You look like you're ready to throw a punch.
Go ahead. We'll take care of it here.
Are you crazy? Take care of it how?
Chief, you should go.
I'll go and brew some coffee then.
This if my final warning.
- Hand over the blood samples and... - I will
give you a final warning.
If you don't move, everyone will...
What is going on here?
Chief Jung, hand over the blood samples.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
Chairman, we have the right to test our patients.
Chief Jung, who I highly respect...
Give me the samples, and let's talk.
- Chairman. - Doctor Yoo, be quiet.
How can the doctors I respect the most at Taemin...
cause such a nonsense incident?
On top of that, in front of all the patients and staff.
If the New Drug team's work wasn't kept confidential...
this wouldn't have happened.
I'm sorry, Chairman.
I should've made sure the doctors understood.
This is my fault.
Please discipline me instead.
You're right. You are partially responsible.
Still, doctors behaving like this
hurts Taemin's image as a whole.
Don't you know as well, Chairman?
Ever since the New Drug team and ward 21A opened
only unfortunate events happened.
Are you saying that the unfortunate events don't occur in regular wards?
There are mistakes and errors made all over the place.
All of you are only attacking the New Drug team.
It's very biased.
And it's a poor form of dividing up the staff.
Open up the New Drug team to us. Then we can be more supportive.
Perhaps, their request is reasonable.
I'm sure they are curious and it's appropriate for them to ask questions.
Maybe you should reconsider...
Every company and hospital keeps their confidential information
open to select few, not all employees.
This isn't only Taemin's principle.
This is different. The patients keep...
Back to what I was saying, let's make sure this doesn't happen again.
If I didn't respect all of you
everyone would have been out of your doctor's gown 10 minutes ago.
Please acknowledge my trust in you.
That was a big incident.
So in the end, Chief Jung left without anything.
- Yes. - Thank you for always keeping me up to date.
It's nothing.
As always, don't worry about getting paid.
Okay. Thank you.
But, about drawing blood from the patients...
I know the nurses aren't allowed to do it either.
But, it is possible, right?
What? Um, yes.
Drawing blood isn't the problem.
I think every patient room has CCTV camera.
And as of today, they started body searching everyone at the ward entrance.
If you were going to hide it, you should've hid it better!
It was completely visible.
There where should've I hidden it?
Here in your back pocket or in your bra. There're lots of places!
It won't go in!
- If I put it in my bra like this, it'll stick out! - Doctor Choi.
That's enough.
Okay.
Somehow we became a group of biased and narrow-minded people.
And losers who shouldn't get access to confidential information.
One thing we know for sure...
is that the Director holds quite the control.
I mean who cares about the Director? We can bring him down.
It will never be easy.
I mean how did our hospital become this way?
So cold.
Anyway, your office is quite cold.
It's still spring, but you turned the AC on?
Oh, yes.
Well, I was so upset over Chairman.
So I turned the AC on.
I'm still hot from anger.
Chief.
- Yes. - Can I ask why you randomly came by my office?
Was it because of ward 21A?
Or, was it because of discontinuation of the meeting system?
As for the Director, until you believe him completely
you need to be cautious with him.
Something is not right with what he said to you earlier.
About both 21A and the meeting system.
I apologize. I should've at least gave you an explanation.
Well it already happened. Nothing I can do now.
The patient doesn't look good.
I don't think he can last more than two or three days.
Only if things didn't go unexpectedly
he could've lived a new life.
Above miracles, there are opportunities.
Without a opportunity, there's no miracle.
- Aspen 80 every four hours. - Okay.
Doctor.
For allowing me to keep getting treatment...
Thank you.
But, Doctor.
Will he continue to be treated with medication only?
Aren't there other cancer treatments?
That's right.
- Excuse me, Chief. - What is it?
I have something to tell you regarding the patient Choi Woo Shik.
What about Choi Woo Shik?
The thing is...
Oh...
It's something I'm not allowed to hear.
Then I'll be out of here in a flash.
No, you can hear too.
Okay, what is it?
- You say Soo Yun asked for it? - Yes.
So...
She'd like to walk down the aisle with her dad now, is that right?
Before her dad passes away?
She asked me to make it happen, but I'm not sure I can pull it off.
She wants to do this for her father.
As a last gift.
How could that young thing think of something like that?
What should we do?
We should discuss it with General Affairs.
What do you mean, General Affairs?
Tell Soo Yun, we'll do it tomorrow.
Oh, thank you!
What are you looking at?
This is nothing.
General Affairs is so lowly.
I am curious about one thing.
About your patient, Choi Woo Shik.
You were so cruel and told him not to admit himself.
And now you're even covering for him when's he's being forced to discharge?
I don't know, the reasons why.
- Really? - Yes, really.
It's probably because you feel very sorry.
I don't think that's it.
I really don't know why.
Think carefully.
I'm going now.
You can relax and be comfortable by yourself.
Doctor Yoo Ri Ta. I hope you don't know much.
BP isn't bad and temperature is good.
Do you feel any other discomfort?
Just my neck feels a bit stiff.
Your neck...
Yes?
Why are you coming in so awkwardly?
Um, you didn't have dinner yet, right?
I came out of an operating room less than ten minutes ago.
Let's... go get dinner.
Why?
Because you feel bad for making me do all your surgeries?
I mean not because I feel bad...
It's a team dinner. Yes, team dinner.
What are we having?
Whatever you want to eat.
You should've planned it with a list of three options.
I just don't want to bother.
There. Let's go there. They have lots there.
All you can manage to think of was Kimbap Heaven?
The menu here is gigantic.
Almost 80 food items.
I think two kitchen staff making all these items is quite respectable.
Excuse me. I'd like two tuna rolls and one rice cake stir fry.
- So thirsty. - Oh, water is self-service.
I know, I know!
Can you do me a favor?
- What favor? - No, you have to do me a favor.
From today, I'm going to start 100 questions and 100 answers.
About vampires... very intensive Q&A.
I don't want to. I won't answer. Why would I?
You have no conscience, really.
Didn't you bring me here because you felt bad?
Unfortunately, this won't be enough for me.
You have to do what I want.
Questions won't be asked in order. It'll be random, depending on the situation.
I said I don't want to.
First question.
Do vampires really drink blood?
Everyone knows the answer.
- You drink it too? - No, not me.
Then what do you eat?
Condensed blend of milk and albumin.
And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
How do you eat that? It's totally a monks' diet.
I can't taste. I don't have sense of taste.
Then cold vegetable dish, tom yum soup, glazed pig's feet, steamed sea toad...
- You can't taste them? - Right.
Oh, I feel sorry for you.
But, you can still eat whatever, right?
Yup.
Then do you also go to the bathroom?
Of course. If one eats, one has to let it out.
I asked a very obvious question.
Enjoy your food.
Have some.
It's okay. You eat.
Still, you should have some.
If you came with me, you should eat with me.
You have no manners.
What are you doing?
- Really... - What is he saying?
All the data Chief Jung was looking at...
At least the scanned data is difficult to decipher.
I can't figure out the content and the ordering is confusing
The originals are probably in bad state too.
Are they research logs?
No, they look like personal journals.
But one thing is for sure, it is Doctor Jung Han Su's diary.
I did ask if I can participate in the research.
I think I'll get an answer tomorrow.
That sounds about right. This isn't a common research topic.
And I didn't say anything to the Director.
That's good.
What the Director said, makes no sense from the start.
Seems like Doctor Jung Han Su went to this cemetery as well.
On top of that, they are all students of one advisor.
They took part in the research as well.
40 years ago, I was in Kochenia for volunteer work.
There was an old man dying from a disease.
His coughed up blood came into my mouth.
After I was infected...
I found out others that were infected were after me.
I kept running away.
Eventually I was found, and the others came.
But then...
he didn't say anything about his advisor or the cemetery.
He made it sound like he was the only one.
And he never mentioned your parents.
Your parents were also infected.
For now, don't let him know that you know.
Until the Director says something close to the truth.
If he keeps lying, he must have some sort of a goal.
And Ji Sang. You know what we've been searching for?
- Maybe it's right in front of us. - What?
Doctor Jung Han Su discovers the cemetery of the infected and obtain samples.
And orients the virus. There's a good chance that happened.
It could be Doctor Jung Han Su who created the VBT-01 virus.
That's why we need to get all of Chief Jung's data.
Do not continue this research.
A day will come, when I tell you the reason why.
So for now, just stop this research.
He knows something for sure.
Perhaps, more than what I know.
Father.
Mother never showed me a picture of your face.
In order for me to be strong...
she thought I should not miss you or have any regrets.
She wanted me to think of myself only.
And never look back.
I think I did well living the way mother wanted me to live.
So from now, I'll start missing you a little.
Nice to meet you, Father.
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.
[Do vampires transform while kissing?]
- Oh my. - What?
Why are you so shocked?
I mean, why would you reveal your identity so easily?
Oh man! So after just one night, you're totally smitten, huh?
Amazing.
It's not like that.
Do you remember the story I told you?
About saving a girl in Jeju island? Do you remember?
Yup, wild dogs.
That girl from the story is Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
Even more amazing.
No way, that's a lie.
This isn't a movie. Coincidences like that don't really happen.
It's the truth. I'm taking off.
Have a refreshing day, Master.
You were full of surprises today! Very dynamic!
Patient Jung Da Hun. Wow! The surgery was a huge success.
Good job.
And patient Na Ki Chan...
- His family has a history of hepatitis. Check properly. - Okay.
Have a good day.
What's with shots everyday? So annoying!
You need these shots to make yourself better soon.
You don't even take the medicine, and throw them away.
When did I do that?
If you get caught throwing the medicine away
I'll give you the most painful shot.
I'm still going to throw them away!
You shouldn't do that.
You're in big trouble now.
This doctor here is really scary.
- Are you going to throw it out or not? - I won't throw it out.
What! What the heck?
Hey! Why are you using honorifics when you talk to this doctor?
You must be really scared of him.
No! It's because he's good looking.
Anyways, make sure to listen to all the doctors and nurses here.
- Okay? - Yes.
You little brat. You only care about looks.
What's going on? Why is everyone here?
And who the heck are you!
Huh?
Why... why is she like this?
Oh! It's almost time, Chief.
Wow! It's so pretty!
I wore it when I was just your age.
My mom bought it for me for my birthday party.
Then are you letting me borrow it?
No. I'm giving it to you, as a gift.
- Wow really! - Yes.
Be pretty out there, just like this dress.
Thank you!
[I have yet to marry, but you first... Yoo Ri Ta, Choi Soo Eun]
[Grow up healthy and beautifully. Taemin Cancer Hospital]
Oh I forgot. We're missing one thing.
The groom. There should be a groom.
It would feel empty without one.
- Dad. - Yes?
I'm going to remember this... for sure.
The day I held your hand and walked down the aisle.
Okay.
You have to... you have to remember it.
This moment...
Your dad's hand.
Of course.
Dad's hand.
Honey? Honey!
Choi Woo Shik... Choi Woo Shik!
Choi Woo Shik!
Honey, lift up your head! Honey!
I think his time has come.
Are you going transfer him and move him to his deathbed?
I couldn't do anything... for this patient.
Even in the time he has left...
I won't be able to do anything for him.
It isn't just you, Chief.
We all feel the same way.
- Sister? - Yes.
I read about you in an article.
You have helped over 200,000 deserted and starving children.
And you have looked after over 50,000 orphaned children.
Oh my... where did you read such a useless thing?
If...
you were to live your whole life all over again...
you could save all of those children again, can't you?
That would be nice.
But, He who lives up there... He would not allow me to live again.
But what if... what if He were to give you that chance and allowed it?
I heard that you went had to endure an unfortunate event yesterday.
It was not so bad. It was a bit of excitement so it was good.
I know that you still need blood samples from ward 21A.
I believe it is absolutely necessary in order to examine the matter closely.
What if I were to get the blood sample for you?
To my knowledge, it would be difficult for you too.
I've broken many promises to you. I'd like to keep this one.
Trust me, one more time.
Excuse me.
You're Choi Woo Shik's guardian, aren't you?
Arms up.
You said it wouldn't be a problem to draw the blood sample, right?
That's right.
Even a small quantity will do. Do it without getting noticed.
Don't worry. If you get the blood, I'll be able to get you out.
You seemed busy yesterday and today.
Yes, a bit.
It seems like you have a lot to say to me, but you're holding yourself back.
I really don't have much to say.
I know everything there is to know.
I understand.
Oh and I heard about the terminal pancreatic cancer patient.
I heard about the moving event, as well.
As his physician, I know that you must feel grief.
It's more painful when you know that you can offer him complete recovery.
That's a pain only we know.
A day will come when we will no longer have to feel such pain.
Nurse?
Did Choi Woo Shik go somewhere?
Oh, you didn't know?
I am his physician. You should have spoken to me!
I'm sorry.
However... I think the treatment here is what my husband needs.
Do you even know what this ward is?
Of course.
I heard everything and I made a careful decision.
Give us a chance.
We're not trying to give your husband false hope.
I understand you may be worried because it is a new medication.
But, you won't feel anymore despair.
We even have a success case.
And if you decide to transfer, all medical costs will be free. We even have a success case.
And if you decide to transfer, all medical costs will be free.
You won't have to worry about the burden of cost at all.
Please understand, Doctor.
This is the only real hope that we have left.
We have nowhere else to turn.
Whether it's with this illness or our financial situation.
No, you can't do this. I'll treat him again...
So, come back.
He's already started the medication and I've signed the agreement.
Now, I'm going to wait quietly.
Please... just leave us alone.
As his physician, I know that you must feel grief.
It's more painful when you know that you can offer him complete recovery.
That's a pain only we know.
A day will come when we will no longer have to feel such pain.
Chief.
Where are you going, Chief?
Let go...
What is it, Chief?
Why in the world are you doing this?
