02x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

If you're incapable,
why did you become a doctor?

How can someone like you be a doctor?

You're a m*rder*r!

m*rder*r!

Good morning.

I have an interview later.
I'll get going first.

I don't feel like saving people anymore.

Do you remember what I told you

about a doctor who saved my life
when I was a kid?

If he hadn't saved me back then,
I wouldn't have met you.

Maybe he was just lucky.
That's why he was able to save you.

If he had failed,
you wouldn't be sitting here today.

Or you could be suffering
for the rest of your life.

Just like what happened
to the lighting designer.

If you were the doctor,

would you have tried to save me?
Even if you knew that

I would end up in a vegetative state?

It is a very difficult question, isn't it?

Since it's a very difficult question,

we must face it.

Okay.

Remember to lock the door
before you leave the house.

I'll get going.

Please save my wife and my child.
Please, I beg you.

I promise I'll save him.

Didn't you promise to save my brother?

Useless doctor!

Prepare an operating room.

Call a doctor who is on standby.

Dingsheng Took One Life!

Sir, in there...

There's...

The original draft.

Have a seat.

Make sure whatever I'm going to say
stays in this room.

Flaws in the Drug Approval Process?

This was my first ever cover story
that I wrote.

But the issue was never published.

This is...

This is the newspaper clipping
in Hsien-rong Chen's briefcase.

That's right.

At the time, among all the journalists,
I was the only one working on the topic.

The others didn't care about it.

That's why I kept it as a memento.

This is the MRT b*mber.

Da-yi Qiu.

He was the inspector
of the side effects of drugs.

His last mission was AM2.

So, you've known
about this all along, haven't you?

Back then, Da-yi Qiu

found out that this drug
had serious side effects,

so he held a press conference
with the legislative assistant.

I was the only one working on the topic.

Do you know why?

Because I was a rookie.

I was clueless.

The legislative assistant
was Wei-cheng Xiong.

-The patient transfer incident.
-Wei-cheng Xiong?

Sen Xiong's dad.

Yes.

Anyone who's connected
to this case won't end well.

Please stop whatever you're doing.

Okay?

This cover story

caused a magazine agency
and a printing factory to be set on fire.

As for me,

I am no longer able to work
in the media industry anymore.

I don't know who else is behind this.

But I'm certain that we can
no longer play along with them.

Let's just end it here.

Okay?

It's for the sake of everyone.

I understand.

I've been working with you
for a long time.

If you put it this way,
it means the issue is really serious.

We'll just do as you say.

Why not?

Why shouldn't we continue reporting on it?

There's more to this than meets the eye.

I've spent a lot of time
trying to understand a lot of things.

Aren't we the Wake Up Times?

How could we compromise
the quality so easily?

Exactly because of this,
we must continue reporting on it.

Because of the exclusivity

and because of our self-worth
as journalists.

I don't see any reason
for me to give it up.

I don't mind that you've been
disrespecting me all this while.

But this time around,

please respect my position
as the editor-in-chief.

I just want to do the right thing.

This is not about right and wrong.

There are certain things
that we just can't touch.

We can't challenge them.

Take my tooth for example.

I can either extract it

or take the painkillers.

We'll have to find a way
to coexist with them.

Let's just put this matter to rest.

Okay?

Okay.

We understand.

I understand.

Okay, then.

Zoe.

Zoe.

Stop making that weird sound.

They said the same thing to you,
didn't they?

It's your choice if you want to give in.

It's because of leaders like you

who suppress us
using the practical problems we face,

which even you don't
understand it yourselves,

that journalism has become
a profession that people look down upon.

If you don't get your tooth treated,
you'll get a bacterial infection.

You will rot,

but I don't want to.

Happy birthday.

Do you remember this song?

You used to play it yourself
when you were a kid.

-Bach.
-Yes.

When I was younger,

I loved listening to you
playing Bach's music.

When I was a kid,

I used to think
that you guys fought because of me.

I thought I'd be the reason
for you guys to get a divorce.

Silly girl.

Enough with that.

Your dad is so loyal to me.
It's impossible for us to get a divorce.

That's right.

I will never leave your mom
in this lifetime.

Actually, we look forward
to this moment every year.

Celebrating your birthday.

Yes.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I've missed you so much.

Let's get a real one, okay?

That sounds good.

But I don't think we can afford it.

We can sell the house.

Then, we can go wherever we want to.

Deputy Director Yang.

You still have such a big responsibility.

I can resign.

Let's go on
a medical volunteer trip in an RV.

Okay.

Let's buy one tomorrow.

Are you falling asleep?

-What?
-You're falling asleep.

Yes.

I'm already sleeping.

Where are we going then?

Let's go

to Pingtung.

Let's go to Hualien.

Let me know once you've made a decision.

Okay.

I'll let you know
once I've made a decision.

KANGLIAN HOSPITAL

Didn't the PR woman say that we should put
this patient up in the VIP room?

It has been changed.
He's being transferred to Renxin Hospital.

It's an instruction
by Dr. Hsiao of the Trauma Team.

Let's go.

Wait for a moment.

This patient is a VIP.

A van is specially arranged for him.

-But the manager has confirmed it.
-Yes.

-He's Mr. Hsien-rong Chen.
-Yes.

-We're sending him to Renxin Hospital.
-Let me take a look.

Mr. Hsien-rong Chen.

Renxin Hospital. That's right.

I'm in charge of the PR at Kanglian
Hospital. Let me take care of this.

Renxin Hospital. Thank you.

-I'm sorry you came here for nothing.
-Don't worry about it.

Hey.

I haven't seen you in a while.

Have you moved?

No. I've been very busy lately.

Hey.

You want a different flavor?

That's fine. Just give me both of them.

There have been many accidents lately.

The planned site of the biotech center for

-They report on the b*mber every day.
-Dingsheng Pharmaceutical, was bombed.

At least 30 people were injured.

It's 90 TWD.

We learned that the expl*si*n...

Yes. Every day.

But no one cares about why he...

That's right.

You'd want to know his motive,
wouldn't you?

They're reporting
on the same thing every day.

There's no mention of his motive.

Actually, I also want to know
why he planted the b*mb.

-Really?
-Yes.

Do you really want to know?

Yes, I do.

But it's wrong to plant a b*mb.

Maybe he didn't have a choice.

It doesn't matter what his motive was.
It's still wrong to hurt innocent people.

Then, what if

I was the b*mber?

No wonder I haven't seen you lately.

Were you busy making bombs?

Hey.

Then, what was your motive?

I was just kidding.

You were so serious.

Here's your change of ten dollars.

Next time...

I'll tell you next time.

Okay.

Thanks.

You're here.

Did it take you long to find this place?

It wasn't too bad.

Come in.

I'll give this back to you first.

Other than a world of zero and one,

I don't understand
a book with so many words.

You don't have enough wisdom.

You haven't found a place to stay yet.

Why don't you stay at my place
for the time being?

We have lived together
for many years, haven't we?

Hey.

It's your favorite.

The computer is right there.

That's right.

Just so you know that I didn't lie to you.

Do me a favor.

Help me check.

Who does this phone number belong to?

It is not registered to the real owner.
There's no way you can find the person.

Then, what about the legislator?

The quickest way to find someone
in the digital age

is to hack into their calendar
and look at their schedule.

But it's a little difficult
to do that with a legislator.

So, there's no way to do it?

There are 113 legislators.

You have to at least give me a name.

Da-qi Wan.

Have you had any noodles
since you got out?

Isn't that too old-fashioned?

I just need this vitamin.

Should I get a girl for you?

Here?

Hello.

I just arrived at Renxin Hospital.

Dr. Chen's blood test results are ready.

There was indeed a high concentration
of AM2 in his blood.

-I see.
-Go get an emergency physician.

Thank you.

-I'll just go see him.
-Please give way. We have an emergency.

-I'll call you later.
-Prepare the equipment to draw blood.

Hook up the monitor.

Excuse me. Please tell me
what happened to this patient.

He may have had a heart attack.

-We need to give him first aid.
-Didn't he just arrive?

Wei-yu: I know where we should go.

Koh Samui.

So, should we go there
by an RV or an airplane?

Okay, close your eyes. Don't move.

The bleeding is in the basal ganglia.
The area has exceeded 23ml.

The size has increased.

You don't have a history of hypertension.

When your head was injured,
did you get it checked?

I did.

I didn't do it when I was in Jordan.
I did get it checked in Switzerland.

It was only 10ml then.

I thought it would disintegrate
by itself. Therefore...

From your current situation,
it can no longer disintegrate by itself.

You need a surgery.

What are my chances
of recovering if I have the surgery?

Sir.

I'm sorry.

I'm just here for a consultation.
That was an inappropriate question.

Bo-en.

If you were in my place,

would you go for surgery?

Traumatic basal ganglia hematoma.

It was advised in the medical journal,

"Surgical evacuation for all lesions
having a volume greater than 25ml."

Judging from the current size
of your blood clot

and the speed at which it's expanding,

it might exceed 25ml within a year.

From the statistics of 37 cases,
the success rate is about 40%.

Furthermore, if you don't get a surgery,

no one can predict
when something would happen.

If I were you,

I would make all the preparations
and go for surgery.

Dr. Hsiao.

Dr. Hsiao, are you okay?

Dr. Hsiao.

I'm fine.

Bo-en.

At this very moment,

what's the one thing
that you can't let go of?

It's my daughter, I suppose.

Although I don't get to see
her much due to my shifts,

from the time
when she's about two years old,

if she's still awake
by the time I get home,

I will see her running towards me.

Then, she will hug me and call me dad.

Don't tell Deputy Director Yang
about this.

Okay.

I understand.

The others as well.

Okay.

Do you know?
Every time I fell in love with someone,

I would fear that I would lose her.

I'd be terrified.

Terrified.

Then, I would do something
that messed things up

and made the person leave me.

After she left me,
I wouldn't lose her anymore.

If I wouldn't lose her,

I wouldn't feel bad.

But I would still feel very bad.

But I would still feel very bad.

I know you're terrified.

You're terrified of facing
your past and your future.

I'm as terrified as you are.

Why haven't you signed it?

When are you going to sign this document?

The director is away for two days.

Can he just take time off just like that?
Then, I will too.

Can you not make things worse?

The director...

Well, he's not an irresponsible person.

I'm sure he has
something important to attend to.

We should learn to be independent.

Learn to be independent?

Then, sign this.

-Only the physician can sign this.
-Exactly!

What a nonsense.

Okay. Don't be angry.

Let me deal with this.

I have my coffee stash with me.

It's really good. Do you want some?

I'll make some for you.

-I know the director is not around.
-Zai is not here either.

But I'm here.

We just have to study
the SOP and follow it.

Our team will still be able
to function normally.

Am I right? Don't worry too much.

We can't be disoriented
once Dr. Hsiao isn't around.

Let's not be like this.
We should stay united.

Let's use this as an opportunity
to improve ourselves.

Okay?

I can't control my speech

And can't focus on my acting

I can no longer hear the melody

I can only hear the ECG

I only hear my heart stop beating

You've messed up the lyrics.
One more time.

Zai, one more time.

I can't control my speech

And can't focus on my acting

I can no longer hear the melody

I can only hear the ECG

I can only hear
the instruments stop working

Staying put in the cold room

-You've messed it up again.
-The family won't stop crying...

Okay, one more time.
You messed up the lyrics.

I can't control my speech

And can't focus on my acting

I can no longer hear the melody

I can only hear the ECG

I only hear the instruments stop working

Staying put in the cold room

The family won't stop

-It's offbeat.
-Crying

One more time. Okay, one more time.

Crying and shouting

One more time.

Okay, one more time.

I can't control my speech

And can't focus on my acting

I can no longer hear the melody

I can only hear the ECG

I only hear the instruments stop working

Staying put in the cold room

The family won't stop crying
And shouting the patient's...

Zai, come out.

Are you okay?

This song...

Didn't you rehearse it multiple times?

Tang.

Can we go for a cigarette?

Okay, let's take a five-minute break.

Bi-hao.

Why are you here?

Doesn't the team have a lot of work today?

It's the same old story.

You can focus on being a singer now.
You must be very happy, right?

Now that I look at the lyrics
of the songs that I wrote, I realized

that I'm even not that good.

What right do I have
to criticize other people?

You're overthinking.

But you always have more ideas than I do.

Look at me.

When I first joined the Trauma Team,

I had no idea why I wanted
to become a doctor.

I'm now wondering
if it's because I did well in school

and my parents wanted me
to study medicine.

I just listened
to what they told me to do.

Did you know?
Actually, I've always looked up to you.

It's true.

Because of you, I learned that saving
someone is such a meaningful thing.

That gives me a sense
of accomplishment in my work.

But now I can't be sure
whether I'm saving people or harming them.

What makes you think so?

We are doctors.

Whether the ending is a good or a bad one,
we are always saving lives.

Dr. Xiong.

The team needs you.

Now that the director is away,
we're in a mess.

At least, you can come back and lead us.

It doesn't matter
how much longer the team can survive.

Even on our last day,

we'll still try to save
as many lives as we can.

Doctor, I'm sorry.

He showed signs of recovery
in the previous hospital.

But why have things changed
after he was transferred here?

The CT scan shows
that there are no issues.

We suspect it's respiratory depression
caused by a drug overdose.

Did you do a blood test?

When will the results be ready?

It will take a few days. Don't worry.

Jian-de, I received a call
from the b*mber.

The b*mber called you?

What did he want?

He wanted me to interview him.

Interview?

Where are you going to meet him?

At the place he requested.

On two conditions.

First, I'm not allowed to call the police.

And...

And what?

And...

he wants me to take you along.

Now, besides knowing
that Da-yi Qiu was the b*mber,

do you know why he wanted
to commit suicide?

I'm not sure why he wanted
to commit suicide.

But one thing I know is that
it must have something to do with AM2.

He was the drug inspector
responsible for AM2.

What about Hsien-rong Chen?

What does he have to do with AM2?

Dr. Chen.

He was part of the clinical trials
on AM2 back then.

Over there.

Be careful.

He's not here.

You understand everything
on the AM2 issue, right?

We're here.

As you instructed,

I didn't call the police.
I've also brought my new colleague.

Jian-de Yeh.

He knows who you are.

I recognized you the first time I saw you.

When I was doing an investigation of AM2,
I saw an article about you.

You were a surgeon 15 years ago.

You were Hsien-rong Chen's student.

The victim of
the patient transfer incident

just completed a huge mission.

He was just released.

So, what is it that you want
by asking us to come here?

Jian-de Yeh.

I trust you.

Ms. Shen,
look at the information on the wall.

That's all I want to say.

Da-qi Wan.

Da-qi Wan.

So, he was your target
at the inauguration ceremony?

Yes.

He's the root of all this.

Who do you think you are?

Do you know how many people you've hurt?

That was an accident.
My target was Da-qi Wan.

What about Hsien-rong Chen?

Why did you want to hurt him?

Hsien-rong Chen is a coward.
He's not qualified for this.

I see.

So, you did all this
for the sake of revenge.

AM2 ruined the life
of your dad, Da-yi Qiu.

So you want to seek justice for him.

I don't care why Da-yi Qiu
committed suicide,

but please be clear on this.

The person you want
to seek revenge on is Da-qi Wan.

Maybe he's still sleeping peacefully
in his bed at home and is completely fine.

But those innocent people...

They didn't do anything wrong,
yet you hurt them.

Therefore, it doesn't matter
how good your reason is,

you shouldn't have done what you did.

Everything you did was wrong.

Da-qi Wan was the one
who did something wrong.

I don't understand

how he can still be dressed
looking smart in a suit

and be shaking hands
with people with a smile.

He even allows
that problematic AM2 to be sold.

Do you know how many people it will k*ll?

Why did my dad commit suicide?

Because he wanted to reveal the truth.
But what happened in the end?

None of the media organizations
reported on it.

Anyone who's connected
to this case won't end well.

Please stop whatever you're doing.

Why?

It's all because no one dares
to report on Da-qi Wan.

Do you dare?

Do you dare?

-Please calm down.
-Why must we report on it?

Why must we believe everything you say?

Who knows if you're telling the truth?

I believe you.

Please give me some more time.
I will help you seek justice.

Why do you need more time?

All the evidence is here.

I don't have time left.

I don't have time left!

How can you not have any time left?

Are you mortified now?

Am I right?

Maybe this is what you're thinking.

"It doesn't matter whether
what I do is right or wrong.

I don't have any time left

because I have no choice,
but to seek revenge."

That's the only thing you can do.

Am I right?

I know how you feel.

You must feel very helpless now.

You feel very lonely.

Maybe all you need is closure
by talking to them.

It wasn't your intention to harm
those innocent people.

You feel bad, don't you?

Stop whatever you're doing.

I can help you.

Tell me the truth.

I will definitely report it.
I will never lie to you.

The truth?

The truth has been suppressed.

End of interview.

Don't come near me.

I have a b*mb on me.

I will definitely report it.

Trust me.

Finish whatever you're supposed to.

I don't have much patience.

Also,

I'm not the person behind
what happened to Hsien-rong.

Let him go.

His target is Da-qi Wan.

You shouldn't have made a promise to him.

Why not?

How would we know the truth otherwise?

But his motive is revenge.

It stems from the hatred
buried deep in his heart.

You'll never understand it.

That thing will consume him
like a bottomless pit.

He won't give himself too much time.

I think you'd better do
what you've promised to him

before he makes his next move.

Otherwise, it'll be too late.

Give me his phone number.

I'll find him.

Mr. Wan.

I've dealt with Hsien-rong Chen.

He will no longer be able to talk.

Okay.

No matter how you try to convince me,
I will not give up.

Sir, why did you come to
the Ministry of Health and Welfare today?

Which publishing company are you from?
Who sent you?

A piece of trash like this

should be brought upon justice
as soon as possible.

Hey, Da-qi.

If Kanglian Hospital is downgraded,

I don't think it would benefit
you either, right?

Ms. Shen.

Come to Hanxuan Hotel.

I just saw Da-qi Wan with Pei-xuan Shi
of Kanglian Hospital.

Hold on. Director Zhu
of Kanglian Hospital is here.

Deputy Minister Wu is also here.

Why are they together?

Hey.

I can help you.

NEXT EPISODE

Zoe!

Hello, Dr. Xiong.

We are now going to Kanglian Hospital.

Are you there?
