DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3
THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE WORKS OF FICTION
(soft music)
SABU: Abnormal climate.
Natural disasters.
The climate is rapidly changing for the worse.
Forest fires, earthquakes, and wars.
Many unpredictable incidents, accidents, and man-made disasters.
We will be engulfed by these suddenly and without warning.
At this point, the world has become a place
where no matter what happens, we wouldn't find it surprising.
Now,
we have to prepare for that kind of world.
Our Rough Rock Project will become the cornerstone for that.
EPISODE 9
AGAINST REDEVELOPMENT THAT'S KICKING OUT RESIDENTS!
PROTESTER: We are against this redevelopment!
STUDENT 1: Hey, I tanked all my exams today.
What about you?
That's the story of my life.
Still, I'm going to the academy to at least try to do well in math.
-STUDENT 1: As if you are. -(student 2 laughs)
Did you hear the academy is moving to downtown Jeongseon next month?
They should've moved a long time ago. Look at this.
It's a wonder the building is still standing.
Will the tteokbokki restaurant move too?
Gosh. Tteokbokki.
-Hello. -Hello.
WOMAN 1: Hi, girls.
-Hello. -Hello.
MAN 1: Hey, there.
STUDENT 1: The building looks shabbier than usual today.
STUDENT 2: I know, right?
Is there no tteokbokki place near the new location?
STUDENT 1: I don't know. I like the tteokbokki here.
STUDENT 2: I know.
-TEACHER: Hello. -STUDENTS: Hello.
STUDENT 3: Hello.
Hey.
Why are you going down there? The academy is upstairs.
What do you care? Just go and teach your class, sir.
What did you say?
TEACHER: Will you keep skipping after paying your lesson fees?
I'll call your mom.
What's with the sudden act?
Just take the money and get lost. You're so annoying.
(clicks tongue)
-(sighs) -(footsteps receding)

BLS PROGRAM
911 PARAMEDICS HIGH-QUALITY BASIC LIFE SUPPORT PROGRAM
Hello, I'm emergency physician
Jung Insu from Doldam Hospital.
(applause)
Recently, some regions have launched pilot programs
that implement technologies such as Smart Emergency Medical Services
that can provide not only basic life support
but also more advanced life support
when a patient goes into cardiac arrest.
INSU: Some reports say that
the chances of ROSC in cardiac arrest patients are increasing,
and many cases are showing good neurologic prognoses
thanks to these programs.
What do we do in disasters?
(people murmuring)
What is the first thing we should do
at a scene with multiple casualties?
It's to minimize damage.
In order to minimize damage with limited people and resources,
we must choose and focus.
In other words, it's not our goal to resuscitate an already dead patient.
Instead, our greatest goal
is to prevent deaths
by treating patients who could be dying.
Do you mean we don't perform CPR?
That's right.
In disaster situations with multiple casualties, we don't do CPR.
That's the rule.
(phone vibrates)
Excuse me.
3:20 P.M. CHUNCHEON DISTRICT COURT, YEONGWOL BRANCH
(sighs)
Right, let's get started with the program right away.
-Open your books. -STUDENTS: Yes, sir.
We went over the graph of a logarithmic function last time, right?
STUDENTS: Yes, sir.
TEACHER: What do you do when it's larger than one?
-STUDENTS: It increases. -TEACHER: That's right.
When it's greater than zero but less than one?
-STUDENTS: It decreases. -Yes, it decreases.
Jungmin.
-Yes? -TEACHER: Put your phone away.
That's why your grades and popularity are decreasing like this.
(students laugh)
Sir, Jungmin isn't that bad.
Why are you saying that out loud?
-BOYS: Ooh. -Sir, I'm more popular than you think.
STUDENTS: Ooh.
That's unexpected. Let's move on to the problem.
TEACHER: You need to find the maximum and minimum of a logarithmic function.
-This is easy. -(cracking)
What's with this today? The water hasn't been running all day.
You need to do something about this. I have a business to run!
-STUDENT 4: Seriously? -WOMAN 1: This is driving me crazy!
STUDENT 4 (groaning): What if the teacher gets mad at us?
-(ominous music) -(glass cracking)
STUDENT 5 (in English): Six, seven, eight!
(upbeat pop music)
-(rattling) -(electricity buzzing)
STUDENT 5 (in Korean): And up.
Go back a little more.
(rattling continues)
(ominous music intensifies)
(upbeat music)
VOLUME 9 THE RIGHTEOUS DOCTOR COMPLEX
-(tapping) -(Eunjae sighs)
Come on, lights. Change already.
We have enough time.
Right.
What did you say?
We still have plenty of time.
You're right.
(exhales)
I look nervous, don't I?
(groans)
This is my first time officially introducing a guy to my dad.
I really must be your first relationship, Dr. Cha.
And what about you?
I've had others.
I've always been pretty popular.
So how many girls have you dated?
I'm not sure. I don't remember.
I haven't really kept count.
How many girls have you dated that you don't even remember?
Does the number matter?
You're the one by my side now.
WOOJIN: Isn't that what matters?
Ms. Pretty Please?
What's this?
Are you trying to provoke me, Mr. Seo Woojin?
The light's green.
Don't think you can get away with this.
We'll have a proper discussion about this later on, Mr. Seo Woojin.
(laughs softly)
(exhales)
(sighs)
This way.
EUNJAE: Mom?
What happened? Where's Dad?
He went to court. There's a hearing today.
EUNJAE'S MOM: Didn't you know?
Seriously, that hospital must be cursed or something.
EUNJAE'S MOM: First, your brother had to deal with an exhausting lawsuit,
and now your dad got roped into one
as soon as he became head of the trauma center?
EUNJAE'S MOM: Goodness.
Should we just go?
What?
Let's sit down.
Hey, I didn't come because I wanted to either.
Your dad insisted I buy you guys a meal,
so I did, even though I didn't want to.
Not gladly, but unwillingly.
That's good. Then let's just leave for today, Mom.
It's our precious day off,
and we don't want to waste it eating with you unwillingly.
Let's go, Dr. Seo.
I hear this place has great steaks.
WOOJIN: Are you okay with steak for lunch?
If that's too heavy, we could also order some pasta
and share.
I tend to eat lightly for brunch.
Then I'll ask if there's a salad you could order.
WOOJIN: Excuse me.
SERVER: Yes?
I have other plans.
Please, Assemblywoman Ko. Why don't we reach a settlement?
I have nothing to say about that.
I'll see you in court.
(sighs)
Fighting in court will be exhausting for everyone.
If you tell us what you want,
I'll do my best to meet your requests.
Do you think I'm haggling with you over the price of my son's life?
(exhales) I didn't mean that.
That trauma center you people built?
To be honest, I still don't see why it's necessary.
Master Kim's emergency medical center is running perfectly fine as it is.
Why did you build a separate trauma center?
Why must we spend a large sum of the province's budget on that?
What does this lawsuit have to do with the province's budget?
I intend to prove the illusion and worthlessness of the trauma center
through my son's death in court.
That's the true objective of this lawsuit.
-(tense music) -(sighs)
Assemblywoman Ko, I have already sent you
over 100 pages of material on the trauma center's necessity.
I've briefed you on it endlessly.
Its usefulness and value are as clear as day.
Then you won't have to worry in court.
You can prove yourself in there.
GRAND MEETING ROOM SEMINAR ROOM
(sighs)
MINGUK: She seems very determined.
It seems she will bring in reporters to make the issue even bigger.
What should we do?
Then we should also be very determined
in our response.
This isn't the first time something like this happened.
Will you be going to court in person?
Why not leave the trial to the lawyers and watch how things proceed--
JINMAN: That would work
when both parties are willing to settle on a certain amount.
JINMAN: I should go and explain what I need to.
That would look better
for our side.
Still, the head of the trauma center can't be gone all afternoon.
A trial would take hours with the travel time to the courthouse.
The complaining party should put up with the shortage of medical staff
due to useless lawsuits like this.
JINMAN: Don't you think so?
(door opens)
(sighs)
Master Kim.
We're putting an elephant in a fridge now, aren't we?
(sighs)
MUNJEONG: Say hello, Dr. Lee.
-This is Elizabeth. -Pardon?
(faltering) Eli… zabeth?
Elizabeth, you should say hello too.
This is Dr. Lee Seonung, the new cardiothoracic surgeon
at Doldam Hospital.
SEONUNG: Uh…
Hi.
-MUNJEONG: That reminds me. -(clattering)
You haven't met Jessie yet either, right?
-MUNJEONG: Here. -SEONUNG: Oh.
SEONUNG: Hi.
Wow, Jessie sure has a knack for recognizing a surgeon's hand.
She says you have great hands.
She expects great things from you.
Right.
Sure.
-(phone rings) -Oh.
This is Bae Munjeong.
Hi, Ms. Eom.
Got it. Bye.
(phone clicks)
There's a patient.
MUNJEONG: One moment. (chuckles)
(door opens, closes)
Did you finally say hi to them?
SEONUNG: Oh.
So you know them. Did you say hi to them too?
Honestly, I was baffled at first too.
MUNJEONG: Say hello, Dr. Jang Donghwa.
This is Elizabeth.
DONGHWA: What is this?
Oh, and this…
is Jessie.
Here.
Go on.
DONGHWA: What's with this guy?
-That's what I thought. -(knocking)
Yes?
Dr. Ortho, here's a list of cutbacks from the ER.
Thank you.
Hi, Elizabeth.
AREUM: Hi, Jessie.
Elizabeth seems to be in good condition today.
She just met Dr. Jang Donghwa.
She must like him.
You're a lucky guy. She has high standards, you know.
SEONUNG: Oh.
This must be some kind of welcoming ritual for new staff.
I see it now.
So it wasn't that weird a situation then.
You're wrong. It's a very weird situation.
This whole place is like that. The hospital and the people too.
Jeez.
Still, you're going to stay at this hospital.
No. My goal is clear.
Colorectal surgery.
Colorectal surgery?
Yes, I unwillingly became a doctor because of my parents,
but I don't have a great sense of duty to be responsible for someone's life.
DONGHWA: Hear me out.
No emergency patients. You're guaranteed a nine-to-six schedule.
You have a steady number of patients, but not too many.
You can have a work-life balance.
That's the life I dream of.
(inhales) But then
why did you come all the way here?
You could've done your residency in Seoul too.
Just because...
I was curious about this place.
(phone alarms blare)
(tense music)
Oh…
(sighs)
EUNJAE'S MOM: He seems to have become a lot more relaxed.
He was so stiff three years ago.
He's just shy, not stiff.
How are his financial circumstances?
Have you looked into his bank accounts?
What do you mean?
Your dad has already approved of his talent, so that's fine.
EUNJAE'S MOM: We should check how his finances are ahead of time.
He has no family background to boast of.
It'll be a hassle if he has debts too.
(sighs) He doesn't have anything like that.
He took care of everything three years ago.
We're saving up together now.
Together?
Why would you do that?
I mean we'll take care of our own business, Mom.

PARAMEDIC: What is it?
PARAMEDIC 1: Hey, it's an emergency.
It's an emergency!
Everyone, let's go!
Come on!
-Did you get the message? -Yes, what's the situation now?
A decrepit building collapsed in the Gongyeong-dong redevelopment area.
We're not sure how many casualties there are,
but there was a math academy on the second floor of the building.
Students again?
Yes, that's right.
(exhales)
REPORTER 1: We have breaking news.
A building in Gongyeong-dong, Jeongseon, Gangwon Province has collapsed.
This old building was built in the 1970s,
and there were already several cracks in the walls.
It was in a redevelopment area,
-and it was set to be demolished. -Oh, no.
REPORTER 1: The exact number of casualties remains unclear…
Is everyone here?
A building has collapsed in the redevelopment area.
We don't know how many casualties there are,
but Doldam Hospital will serve as the base for the DMAT.
DMAT: DISASTER MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TEAM
And as of now, we're in Code Orange. Okay?
-Yes, Doctor. -Yes, Doctor.
(claps) Go.
Wait, what's Code Orange?
It means we will empty the ER now.
How?
EUNTAK: Discharge patients who can leave,
and move those who can't to the wards.
Oh.
SABU: Ms. Eom.
-Yes, Master Kim. -Call the trauma center.
Have Ms. Oh and Dr. Jung Insu join us for the emergency meeting.
Dr. Jung went to teach the BLS program at the fire department today.
He's supposed to go straight to the courthouse after that.
What about Seo Woojin?
He's off today.
Call both of them in.
(alarm bell ringing)
911 EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM
Master Kim, what should I do? Should I go straight to the scene?
I'll join DMAT Team One.
It isn't far from where I am now. I can be there in ten minutes.
(in English) Okay.
(in Korean) Then Seo Woojin will go to the scene.
Yes, Master Kim.
Park Euntak, Jang Donghwa.
SABU: And Chief Jang too. Go to DMAT Team One.
Yes, Master Kim.
Dr. Jung.
Get back to the hospital as soon as you can.
We're the base hospital. We'll be flooded with patients soon.
As fast as you can.
Yes, Master Kim.

There are so many young students.
Seo Woojin. Don't get swept up in the situation.
Stay calm and get your head in the game.
(continues breathing shakily)
SABU: Right now, the most important thing
is to keep a cool head and assess the situation.
That's how you can save one more person, got it?
Yes, Master Kim.
The safety of the medical staff
takes priority at a disaster scene. Keep that in mind.
STUDENT 7: Help!
And do your best.
Let's save as many lives as we can.
Yes, Master Kim. I'll call you again.
STUDENT 7: Help!
(sighs)
Ms. Oh, it's me.
Tell everyone at the trauma center to gather.
STUDENT 7 (crying): Help!
Help!
Please help us!
Can I take a look?
He's my friend and he's not breathing.
STUDENT 7: Please help.
(Eunjae sighs)
(siren wails in the distance)
WOOJIN: At a disaster scene with multiple casualties,
the rule is to not do CPR.
We must save those who can be saved. You get what I mean, right?

CHOI DOHYUN DONGBANG HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT 7: Why won't you do anything?
My friend isn't breathing.
(Eunjae sighs)
Are you hurt anywhere?
Your head, chest, or anywhere that was badly hit or in pain?
Are you giving up on my friend?
Aren't you doing CPR?
This is the rule in a disaster.
We're not here to revive
a person who is already dead.
We're here to treat patients who can survive.
That's our priority, so you should go and get treated--
STUDENT 7: Aren't you a doctor?
Then you should save my friend first.
STUDENT 7: Please save him.
(crying) Save him.

Kid, are you okay?
EUNJAE: Kid!

What's the current situation?
So far, there are 4 fatalities.
Thankfully, the math teacher caught on before the collapse
and evacuated most of the students.
The kids got tangled up and fell on their way out
and were hurt in the process.
Before the quick response team arrives,
set up a makeshift clinic where the patients
are being brought out.
And set out triage mats.
After we triage them, reds to the left, yellows to the right,
and greens to the back.
For blacks,
we'll keep them inside in a corner
until a temporary morgue is set up. We'll send them there.
Got it.
EUNTAK: Dr. Seo!
WOOJIN: Nurse Euntak.
Go to Cha Eunjae.
WOOJIN: Over there.
Dr. Seo, here's your vest.

-Okay. -EUNJAE: And something to cover up.
Transportation team! Over here!
TRIAGE TAG
This patient has tension pneumothorax. Watch his BP and saturation.
Get him to Doldam's trauma center quickly.
(exhales) I'll see you at the hospital.
Let's move him.
Ms. Joo, call all the doctors in.
Call Dr. Bae Munjeong here too.
-Hey. -Doil.
We don't know how many severe patients we'll get.
Call all anesthesiologists in, so we can start emergency surgery
as soon as they come in.
-Okay. Check the blood supply first. -Yes, Doctor.
Ms. Oh.
They'll triage the patients on the scene,
but check the patients' RTS and separate them as they come in.
Emergency patients will go to Doldam's ER,
and critical patients will come here to the trauma center.
I've ordered those who may have internal injuries
to be sent here too.
I'll make sure not to miss anything.
By the way, where is Director Park?
I called him right after you called me.
Here he comes.
-Master Kim. -Director Park.
We'll need you to help out in the trauma center.
SABU: The head of the trauma center isn't here,
and with Seo Woojin at the scene, we're short on general surgeons.
Wait.
There is something you must see first.
What?
Here is the breaking news once again.
Provincial Assemblywoman Ko Kyungsook who was visiting the redevelopment area
is currently believed to be buried under the collapsed building.
REPORTER 1: We'll go to the scene for more details.
Reporter Song Hyejin. What is the current situation?
CAUGHT IN THE ACCIDENT WHILE MEETING RESIDENTS
Yes.
Provincial Assemblywoman Ko Kyungsook was in the redevelopment area around 1 p.m.
REPORTER 2: She was meeting with the shop owners
in the building who haven't moved out yet.
As the shop owners who were making a living
in the old building refused to move out in protest,
she was there to persuade them about safety issues
and what will happen after moving out when the building suddenly came down.
(screams) Help!
No!
CAUGHT IN THE ACCIDENT WHILE MEETING RESIDENTS
REPORTER 2: Sadly, Assemblywoman Ko Kyungsook's whereabouts
have not yet been confirmed.
With the Fire Department declaring a Level Two Emergency Response--
Master Kim.
The situation might get more serious than we thought.
What do we do?
(sighs)
(sirens wailing in the distance)
Master Kim. The patients are arriving.
One chest injury and one broken bone.
YEONGMI: They're both severe.

Okay. One, two.
PARAMEDIC 8: Where are you?
STUDENT 8: Down here.
(breathes shakily) Please help me.
(groans)
Let's start a saline IV drip.
It's not an open fracture, but there will be lots of bleeding.
He could go into shock. Let's move him now.
Yes, Doctor. Transportation team!
-STUDENT 9: Are you okay? -(student 10 retching)
STUDENT 10: I'm okay.
(continues retching)
Excuse me.
-Are you dizzy? -Yes.
TRIAGE TAG BRAIN CT
You'll be moved to the hospital.
Can I go with her?
My leg is all scraped up below my knee.
Can you walk?
Yes, I brought her outside.
Then you're a non-emergency case.
Non-emergency cases will be moved last according to the level of injury.
Please go to that tent for now.
I want to stay with my friend.
I can't do that for you right now.
You go to the ambulance. You, to that tent over there.
Please take her to the ambulance.
DONGHWA: Dr. Cha.
ON-SITE EMERGENCY CLINIC
It seems to be hemoperitoneum.
His vitals are really bad.
STUDENT 11: Help me!
(sighs) His lungs sound bad too.
GITAE: Dr. Cha!
Here you are.
Ms. Joo called just now. She needs you back quickly.
Professor Cha is out for the hearing and they're short on CT surgeons.
Then I'll ride with this hemoperitoneum patient.
His vitals are really bad. I'll keep an eye on him.
Yes, Doctor.
-Transportation Team, let's move. -PARAMEDIC 9: Yes, Doctor!
PARAMEDICS: One, two, three.
PARAMEDIC 9: Let's lift on one, two, three.

Get this patient's vitals!
Dr. Cha.
Yes, I'm leaving.
-Transportation team! -PARAMEDIC 12: Yes.
-Take him to the red zone. -PARAMEDIC 12: Got it.
Dr. Seo.
EUNTAK: Help me with this patient.
I think we need to intubate.
What's going on?
There is a pulse, but her breathing is very weak.
DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER DOCTOR
WOOJIN: Let me see.
(Woojin grunts)
The Ambu is stiff.
I think her airway is blocked.
Put a neck collar on her first.
STUDENT 12: Help me!
The video laryngoscope, please.
-(beeps) -Here.
STUDENT 13: Over here!
Wipe it, please.
That's good.
This won't do. Give me the direct scope.
And get suction ready too.
Ready.
WOOJIN: Hold her neck so it doesn't bend.
Please.
Take it out.
I can't get a clear view.
I'm just going in blind.
(Woojin grunts)
You can't let go of…
There is
no pulse.
-STUDENT 11: Help me! -(somber music)

(exhales)
MR. HEO: Doctor!
We found survivors in the basement.
MR. HEO: A paramedic has gone down after we cleared a small path.
I think there is someone injured down there.
(dial tone rings)
What is it like down there?
PARAMEDIC 13: He's in his early to mid-thirties.
He's a teacher at the academy.
His legs are pinned down and can't move.
It's because of us.
(cries) He came down to evacuate us.
(cries)
PARAMEDIC 13: He has a big bruise on his abdomen.
PARAMEDIC 13: His entire abdomen is hard and swollen.
What about the other students?
There are five in total.
PARAMEDIC 13: One male student is unconscious.
No external bleeding or things to note.
-His vitals aren't that bad either. -(coughs)
The other four have light abrasions and lacerations.
-One boy is having trouble breathing. -(gasps for breath)
Can you ask if he has asthma?
Kid.
Do you have asthma?
(pants)
(breathlessly) I have my inhaler in my backpack.
But it's buried underneath.
(continues panting)
How long until we can get them out?
There's a risk of further collapse. It won't be easy to get equipment in.
MR. HEO: We'll have to get them out by hand.
In that case, we don't know if it'll take an hour or longer.
If we wait until they get out,
it's likely he could die.
Then what do we do?
WOMAN 4: Help us over here!
Nurse Euntak.
Bring the REBOA kit.
REBOA: RESUSCITATIVE ENDOVASCULAR BALLOON OCCLUSION OF THE AORTA
No, Dr. Seo.
If I go down and do first aid,
we can buy some time until they get out.
Dr. Seo.
You can't go down there. The building might collapse further.
The teacher risked his life
to save those kids down there.
I can't just let him die.
The safety of medical staff takes priority at accident sites. That's the rule.
The moment we give up,
people will die.
Then let's go in together.
Nurse Euntak, don't be like this too. You can't do this.
You'll need me to use the REBOA kit anyway.
Get the salbutamol from the ambulance.
(sighs)
I'll let the command center know.
STUDENT 14: Ow, ow.
-Ow! -Press on this.
DONGHWA: Huh?
What are they doing?
MR. HEO: Let's go.
What?
Are they going in?
Jeez, what do I do?
Seriously…
MAN 3: Please, it hurts so bad.
The building collapsed.
Green patients to the Doldam ER waiting room.
MYEONGSIM: Yellows to the ER.
Reds to the trauma center's observation area. Here.
PARAMEDIC 14: Hang in there.
To the treatment room.
-This way. -(groans)
Goodness.
-Let me touch it. -(yells)
Okay.
Give him some tramadol.
Please tell me if you feel pain.
Show me the CT scan.
(grunts)
There's lung laceration and hemopneumothorax.
Get a tube in there quickly.
Get a chest tube ready, please.
(patients yelling, groaning)
-Don't move. -STUDENT 15: It hurts!
(groaning continues)
PARAMEDIC 15: Moving the patient.
-One, two, three. -HOJUN: You're here now.
Don't move.
Don't move. One, two, three.
Kid.
You're at the hospital.
STUDENT 16: It hurts!
Please wait just for a moment.
Nari!
Nari, are you okay?
This way!
(clamoring)
-WOMAN 5: We need to go. -Just a moment!
You'll be treated according to the severity of your injuries!
EMPLOYEE: Green patients, please wait in the waiting room.
Green patients, please have a seat in the chairs.
-Don't tell us just to sit. -We'll see you in order!
Let's get a head CT in Bed 13!
-What's your name? -Im Juyeon.
-Does your elbow hurt? -Yes.
-Let's try moving it. -(yells in pain)
-It hurts. -Ms. Eom.
-Let's get her to X-ray. -Okay.
(moans) It hurts.
-Master Kim. -SABU: Yes?
Dr. Jang Donghwa is on the line from the scene.
Watch out for adhesions.
I told Dr. Seo to give orders at the scene.
YEONGMI: The thing is…
Dr. Seo has gone into the collapsed building.
SABU: What are you saying?
Why did Seo Woojin go in there?
DONGHWA: They found survivors in the basement of the collapsed building.
There are five students and a teacher down there.
But…
they didn't know how long it'll take to get them out.
And… And I guess
there's someone who is severely injured inside.
(yelling) So what?
What happened to Seo Woojin?
DONGHWA: He went into the basement himself.
Along with Nurse Euntak.
(sighs)
DONGHWA: Can't you call them and have them come back up?
There's a risk of further collapse.
Master Kim!
I'll go first. I have better athletic skills.
I'm quite fit too. I jog every morning.
MR. HEO: Doctor, are you sure you'll be okay?
If Master Kim finds out, you'll be in big trouble.
I'll go down first, then the DMAT bag, and Nurse Euntak last.
Let's go in that order.
MR. HEO: Okay.
-Take me down. -Going down.
(dial tone ringing)
SEO WOOJIN
NURSE PARK EUNTAK
(dial tone ringing)
Patient's vitals are 80/60. Rate is slowing down.
The abdomen is swollen and the lung sound isn't great.
There's no room in here.
We'll move the fracture to the observation area.
Let's bring the bed in first.
MUNJEONG: We need someone over here.
MUNJEONG: Moving the bed!
MINGUK: Coming in.
-MINGUK: Sonogram and portable! -NURSE 1: Yes, Doctor.
Sir, can you hear me?
Open your eyes.
Let's intubate.
Master Kim. (exhales)
SEONUNG: Dr. Cha.
Can you help with this patient?
Okay, coming.
Mr. Heo. What happened?
Why did my staff go down to that dangerous place?
And why won't either of them answer their phones right now?
MR. HEO: The thing is, Master Kim…
I came down with them.
It's me, Master Kim.
MR. HEO: One second.
(sighs)
Hey, Seo Woojin.
You idiot. What are you doing down there?
Why would you go down there?
Don't you know that
the safety of the medical staff takes priority on the scene?
There was a patient.
WOOJIN: He's a teacher who was hurt while trying to save kids.
What?
His leg is pinned under rubble and can't move.
WOOJIN: He's bleeding a lot in his abdomen, so even with ultrasound,
I can't see his organs very well.
(exhales)
WOOJIN: His spleen seems to have completely ruptured.
His liver looks to be damaged too.
We're hydrating him via IV right now.
How are his vitals?
It's 80/40, 121.
How are his legs?
I think his sensory function is deteriorating.
But I still feel his dorsalis pedis artery.
SABU: So what's your plan?
You must've gone down with some kind of plan.
I've brought a REBOA kit.
REBOA?
We'll do first aid
and buy some time until rescue.
(sighs)
SABU: Next time, don't run into danger like you just did, got it?
Other people could have gotten hurt.
You would have done the same, Master Kim.
WOOJIN: Don't worry too much.
I'll do what I can and call you back, Master Kim.
SABU: Hey.
-Seo Woojin! -(call ends)
(sighs)
Did Dr. Seo go into the collapsed building?
I think so.
(exhales shakily)
There are two patients with chest injuries, Master Kim.
The hemoperitoneum patient who just came in
is showing extravasation in the lungs. We'll have to go in and stop the bleeding.
What should we do?
You and Director Park should do a combined surgery
and stop the bleeding.
SABU: I have to do an artery repair on a knee fracture patient.
And help Dr. Lee with any future chest injury patients.
Yes, Master Kim.
EUNJAE: The sunlight was so warm this afternoon.
EUNJAE: I don't know which one is better.
EUNJAE: No, it'll be cute with jeans.
Which pair of jeans do you like?
Okay, show me your walk.
WOOJIN: All right.
Ta-da.
EUNJAE: You and I were excited to go out for the first time
in a while.
EUNJAE: Ms. Joo.
If you get any news about Dr. Seo during surgery, please let me know.
It's not because I'm not worried. It's been on my mind.
I think I'd be able to focus more if I hear that he made it out okay.
I'm worried too, Dr. Cha.
I'll let you know as soon as I have news.
EUNJAE: Thank you.
EUNJAE: But before we know it,
we are
standing at the end of someone's life again.
How is the student?
His vitals are holding steady.
WOOJIN (in English): Okay.
(in Korean) Euntak, let's begin. Needle, please.
EUNTAK: Here.
(soft music)
Guide wire.
Long guide wire.
EUNJAE: You're there,
and I'm here.
As always, we will both do our best.
MINGUK: The patient is in bad shape.
We'll have to go after both bleedings
in the hemoperitoneum and hemothorax at the same time.
Dr. Nam Doil.
DOIL: Yes, you may begin.
MINGUK: Dr. Cha Eunjae.
EUNJAE: Yes, I'm ready.
MINGUK: Scalpel.
EUNJAE: I sincerely hope
that our efforts will end well
and that they won't go to waste.
WOOJIN: Give it here.
Got it.
Let's dress the wound.
How are his vitals?
EUNTAK: BP is rising.
It's 100/60.
(exhales) (in English) Okay.

KDMAT FIRST RESPONSE TEAM
Over there!
Why aren't the doctors coming up?
Dr. Woojin and Nurse Euntak.
I'm sure they'll come up after they send up the kids.
GITAE: If they were the kind of people who wanted to save themselves first,
they wouldn't have gone down in the first place.
Seriously, why on earth did they go down there?
Are doctors supposed to be superheroes or something?
It looks like everyone is being rescued safely.
Let's wait a bit longer.
-Darn it. -MAN 5: There are more survivors.
AIDE: Over here!
Excuse me.
(pants) Assemblywoman Ko is alive.
She just called. It's the assemblywoman. Take the call.
Is this Assemblywoman Ko?
It's me, Ko Kyungsook.
No, I'm okay.
I'm not badly hurt.
(grunts)
(exhales)
Yes.
It's dark in here now.
I can't see very well. Hang on.
(grunts)
(coughs)
(Kyungsook coughs)
I see
a shop owner collapsed on the floor.
KYUNGSOOK: She looks badly injured.
Ma'am, please put pressure on the wound with some cloth to stop the bleeding.
CHIEF: But we're currently rescuing some students right now.
Hey!
What are you saying? You have to save Assemblywoman Ko first!
She went into the tteokbokki store last.
Look over there first!
If we're not careful, the building could further collapse.
That's why you need to get her out!
What if you delay and something happens to her?
AIDE: Will you handle the consequences?
Do you want to be sued for negligence? Is that what you want?
Assemblywoman Ko.
There are students who've been badly hurt. We'll wrap up rescuing them first,
and we'll get you out as soon as we can.
Can you hang in there a little longer?
Please hurry.
(sighs)
We'll do our best. Hang in there.
There are more survivors! Hurry up!
-Hey! -PARAMEDICS: Yes, sir!
-Go. -AIDE: Hey!
(phone vibrates)
Assemblywoman Ko. Yes, ma'am.
Don't worry and just hang on.
Yes, I'll call the governor and handle the situation.
Yes, ma'am. Please hang in there.
AIDE: Darn it.
(pants)
(grunts weakly)
Kid, you should go up now. It's your turn.
I said I would go up with my teacher.
(coughs)
I know how you feel,
but you can't be stubborn now.
I swore at him!
(upbeat pop music)
Guys, get out. It's dangerous.
-(music cuts off) -Just hurry up and get out now!
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Can't you see us practicing?
Cheon Soyoung. Something is wrong with the building.
Everyone upstairs is evacuating too. So let's get out first.
TEACHER: Hurry up. Go.
Why won't you listen?
-Hurry up. -SOYOUNG: Stop nagging already.
Get out, you jerk!
-Hey. -(rattling)
-(glass cracking) -(rumbling)
Watch out!
(sniffles)
Your teacher will be okay.
WOOJIN: We'll be sure to save him, so you go on up.
That way, we'll be able to focus on helping him.
(cries)
That's what you can do for him now.
Do you understand?
PARAMEDIC 17: Be careful.
Going down.
We're good.
It looks a bit tight.
If we just break that bit of concrete to the right,
I think we could get him up.
MR. HEO: I don't know how much weight this can stand.
