SECRET HEALER

SECRET HEALER

Hey, Persimmon Girl.

Why are you here?

Poong-yeon.

EPISODE 4

What's the matter with her?

Is she ill?

Her body is cold and she looks so pale.

She needs to see a doctor quickly...

Don't get me wrong. Well, this is...

This is sort of my working attire.

I mean, I sell things these days.

By any chance,

do you know my sister?

No.

In any case, thank you for helping my sister.

I'll take care of her now,

so please go your way.

Goodbye.

Is that cold and unfriendly man her brother?

They don't look alike at all.

Anyway, will she be all right?

She didn't look very well.

Well, I have my own problems to worry about.

Mother.

Mother.

-Poong-yeon. -Poong-yeon.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Wake up.

Yeon-hee.

Why did you do it?

Father.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Father.

Why?

What...

What is happening to me?

I'm so scared.

Please save me, Father.

What happened to him?

I'm asking you what happened to him.

You said everything was fine.

You said nothing would happen.

Look what happened.

Save the prince now!

Save him.

Save him!

Eunuch Park, bring Queen Sim to her home.

-Your Highness, please calm down. -Your Highness.

Prince Soon-hoe. Open your eyes, please.

No.

Not my son.

Never.

Prince Soon-hoe, please wake up.

Please, no.

-Queen Sim. -Your Highness.

Attend to her.

Hyun-seo Choi.

Mother.

Let me go, rogues!

Mother.

My lady.

I thought you were a smart boy,

but it seems like you don't quite know your place.

So, I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight.

What are you trying to do?

Please, stop.

Go ahead.

No.

No!

Stop it!

No!

Stop!

No!

Mother!

Mother!

-Stop him. -Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Please. I made a mistake.

It was my fault, so please tell them to stop.

Please, tell them to stop.

Please. Save my mother, please.

Please.

-Make them stop, please. -Stop.

I heard you were trying to buy off your mother's slave paper.

Jun.

There is one thing people are misled about.

They think they can break away from the situation they are in.

But whatever they do,

there is one thing they can't break away from.

Do you know what that is?

It's parents.

Wealthy parents can provide many things for their children.

However, poor parents can only pass down

the worthless life they've been living

to their children.

Parents' lives are passed down to their children

so you shouldn't have been born.

You shouldn't have been born in this world.

That would've been better for both you and your mother.

Who can you blame now?

You only have yourself to blame for having such a mother like her.

Don't attempt to do anything.

Don't attempt to escape or fight it.

Just live as quietly as a dead person.

That's the only way you and your mother can live. Understood?

Yes.

Remember my words.

If you didn't understand what I said today,

your mother will actually be in there next time.

Mother.

Let's get out of this house.

Poong-yeon.

Why can't you swallow the medicine at all?

Poong-yeon, please wake up.

Mother.

Poong-yeon, are you awake now?

Are you okay?

Poong-yeon.

Go away!

Go away!

What's the matter?

What's wrong with you? Please.

Go away.

Poong-yeon, look at your mother.

-Poong-yeon, look at me. -Don't come closer!

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee's power can't be controlled.

She loses her consciousness after using her power

so she can't be moved yet.

The Black Forest's ritual boundary has been broken.

We must take her to Chungbing Temple as soon as possible.

What if we get caught by Hong-joo

by acting hastily?

Wouldn't everything be over then?

But if we leave her like that

Yeon-hee, the Crown Prince and Poong-yeon

will all be in danger.

Even Yo-gwang can be in danger.

Then what should we do? We have no other solution.

Are you all right?

Don't worry. My lord will take care of everything.

Everything will be back to normal once you go to Chungbing Temple.

Chungbing Temple?

What is that place?

Well...

I'll tell you when we get there. Just wait a little bit.

Father will hate me now, won't he?

What are you talking about?

I became like this because I didn't listen to him.

Now,

Father will hate me.

He wouldn't.

Why would you say that when he cares about you very much?

He must be going through a hard time.

Both you and Poong-yeon are in trouble.

What do you mean?

Did something happen to Poong-yeon?

This won't work. Let's just go back.

Please.

Let me at least see my brother's face, please.

If he finds out, he will be furious.

-No. -If not today,

I don't know when I'll see him again.

Then just have a look and come back right out.

These amulets won't last much longer.

Do you understand?

Follow me carefully.

Be careful.

Poong-yeon.

Why are you like this?

Please, wake up.

Poong-yeon, can you hear me?

It's me, Yeon-hee.

Go away.

Go away, monster!

Poong-yeon.

Please.

Please, don't show up before me ever again.

Please, get lost!

I want to live.

I want to live.

Don't come near.

I want to live.

Let's go, Yeon-hee.

Let's go back.

Wretched girl. How dare you come here?

Mother.

Poong-yeon.

It's all because of you.

This is all because of your curse.

The reason Poong-yeon became like this

is all because you're cursed.

This is the reason why I couldn't take you in as my daughter.

You shouldn't have been born.

You shouldn't have been born into this world.

I'm begging you.

So, please disappear.

Please go far away

from my Poong-yeon and disappear.

Please.

Take Yeon-hee.

Yes, my lord.

Let's go, Yeon-hee.

Let's go.

Master.

The place called Chungbing Temple.

How can I get there?

I will go there.

I will do whatever you tell me.

So, please

save my brother.

My lord.

I don't think we can delay it any longer.

My lord.

Someone is here from the palace.

Take Yeon-hee and go to Chungbing Temple before me.

I will bring the Book of Curses and follow you.

-Yes, my lord. -Yes, my lord.

Why did you come

all the way here?

I came to apologize.

I thought you were an easy opponent.

Who can I blame? It is all my fault.

When you said you would kill the princess 17 years ago,

I shouldn't have believed you.

You, Lord Hyun-seo Choi, of all people.

What are you trying to say?

Where is the princess?

You did not kill the princess.

It could have been

out of sympathy or pity.

I understand it all.

So, tell me.

Where did you hide the princess?

The princess

is dead.

You saw it with your own eyes

how she burned in flames.

Well,

is that your answer?

I see.

Goodbye.

What is it?

The exit is that way.

My lord.

If the cursed princess is alive

your family will be executed and you will be quartered to death

for disobeying Queen Dowager's orders

and harming the Crown Prince's life.

Also, anyone who is infected by her curse

will become ill and die within 15 days.

However, that will not happen.

Since you wouldn't have committed

such a horrible act of saving a threat.

Aren't I right?

Excuse me.

Can't you see we're closed?

Well...

I heard you deal with leathers going to the Ming Dynasty,

so I came to see it.

You came to the wrong place.

We don't carry such high-quality items.

Chung-dong referred me to you.

I need two boat tickets to the Ming Dynasty.

Please.

After two hours,

come to the hut over the hill.

It will be 200 nyang in total.

Are you ready?

Jun, riding a smuggler's boat

is too dangerous.

Let's forget it. If we get caught you will be in danger as well.

Mother.

I've given up on a lot of things while living in this house.

I made mistakes and fell down on purpose.

That's how I lived.

However,

I will not live like that anymore.

Jun.

Even if we live for a day,

let's do things we want to do.

Come on. I'll give you money.

Let me see.

-Master. -Wait. What?

Master.

-Let me see. -Master.

What?

Well...

This country called Joseon Dynasty is so backward.

Because of Confucian ideas and things,

we aren't allowed to wear fancy accessories.

It's so lame, right?

A man with an exotic appearance like me

should wear a ring like this, don't you think?

-You're right. -Of course.

It looks great on you, sir.

Sir, you should buy one when you have the chance.

His rings are hard to get even if you pay lots of money.

-Is that so? -Of course.

He's a merchant from the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, the border is so strict on letting foreign merchants in,

so it's extremely difficult to meet them.

That's why this ring is so beautiful like you.

It's completely different from Joseon rings.

I'm feeling generous.

Pick one each.

I'll gift them to you.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-Really? -Me too!

You choose first.

Master.

What?

What is it?

Just a moment.

Hey, keep going in.

If you wait here, I'll go get the tickets.

I gave up a lot of things,

living in this house

I made mistakes and fell down on purpose.

That's how I lived.

However, I will not live like that anymore.

I'm here to see Gapachi.

Here's the money you asked. Give me the tickets now.

I sell tickets to the same person only once.

Do you know why?

Because people either safely arrive in the Ming Dynasty

become fish bait in the rough sea

or get caught by slave hunters.

Do you know which happens the most?

Getting caught by slave hunters.

They are cruel and unshakable.

If you get caught, you're dead. If not, you're on the run forever.

This is the last chance

to change your mind.

Will you still go?

No matter what,

I'll get on the boat.

At noon,

the boat will leave immediately.

You must not be late.

Okay.

BOOK OF CURSES

Are you going to Yeon-hee?

I have no time to explain right now.

I will explain when I return.

Please, do not go.

Everything is over anyway.

Everything is all over now.

What do you mean?

What did you say?

I told everything to the Shaman of the Hall of Stars.

Why?

Why did you do that?

What do you mean why?

Do you really not know?

That strange pattern behind Poong-yeon's ears.

It appeared because of Yeon-hee, didn't it?

Poong-yeon became that way because he liked Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee's curse has to be lifted

so we can save the country from Hong-joo's hands.

I don't care!

Our son is dying. What use is a country?

That shaman clearly said that

if the girl dies...

If the girl dies...

our Poong-yeon can live.

She promised she would prevent everything

if we don't meddle with this affair.

So, please do not go.

I packed everything we need.

Let's leave quickly.

Stay here.

Sogyeok-seo masters gather to sneak out the cursed girl.

How can you call yourselves the guards of the palace?

Attack.

Chun-gwon.

Chun-gwon!

Chun-gwon.

Chun-gwon!

Chun-gwon!

Chun-gwon!

Master!

No!

No!

No!

You fools.

Do you know what her curse is about?

You're dying like this all because of that girl.

What do you mean?

All because of me?

Poor thing.

Didn't anyone tell you

about your curse?

People whom you love will all die.

And people who love you

will all die.

That's your curse.

Child.

Are you sad?

Are you in pain?

So, why were you born?

Nobody wanted you.

Do you want to save everyone?

Then, you should die.

Only you.

Stop!

Stop it.

You must not take her.

My lord, please do not interfere anymore.

I won't forgive anymore even if it's you.

My lord, run away quickly.

Go after the princess and the lord. Do not miss them.

You will have to go through me.

Who will go to the underworld with me first?

They couldn't have gone far. Search the area thoroughly.

We must find the princess and take her to the palace.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Yeon-hee.

Father.

Yeon-hee.

Listen carefully.

When I get their attention, you must run straight ahead.

Never look back.

Just run forward.

No. I don't want to.

It's all because of me.

So, I'll just...

I'll just die.

No.

No, Yeon-hee.

You must not die and live.

Go to Chungbing Temple and lift the curse.

That way, everyone can live.

You must go to Chungbing Temple.

I'm sorry, Yeon-hee.

And I know its late, but happy birthday.

Father.

There he is. Chase after him!

Yeon-hee, you must not die and live.

Go to Chungbing Temple and lift the curse.

That way, everyone can live.

Over there!

Where is the princess?

I don't know.

She is fated to die anyway.

But why would you risk everything for her?

No, she must live.

That is the divine providence.

"The divine providence"?

What is that exactly?

Accepting the fate that's been unfair from the start.

Is that what you call "the divine providence"?

Because you are born with nothing,

you become rich men's toy

and you bow down to them

even if you get abused by them.

Is that "the divine providence" you desperately call for?

Serving the wrong providence

is also a subject's duty.

Opening up the right path for the providence

is what you and I must do.

No.

I will not live like that from now on.

I will step on them and rise above them.

Hong-joo.

I know what kind of grudges you have.

However, this isn't the right way.

How you became like this

is all my fault.

Let's go to the palace together.

Let's stop here

and pay for our sins.

Please don't ruin yourself anymore, Hong-joo.

I deeply regret

that I'm retuning your teaching

this way.

Still,

from today

there's no divine providence.

From now on,

my will

is the divine providence.

We have to catch the princess no matter what.

We will catch her

and kill her.

Hey, Persimmon Girl.

Is your name Yeon-hee by any chance?

Are you sad?

Are you in pain?

So why were you born?

Nobody wanted you.

They said there is no one that should not have been born.

No matter who it is,

everyone is born

with a reason and purpose to help the world.

Do you want to save everyone?

Then,

you should die.

Only you.

It's all because of me.

So, I'll just...

I'll just die.

No.

SECRET HEALER

The cursed princess won't die easily.

Bring Hong-joo here right now!

They brought this on themselves.

Mother!

My poor mother.

Master, you dropped this.

Bring the Red Robe before me,

right now!

You must catch him at any cost.

You are under arrest for murder.

I will lift the curse no matter what.

It wasn't me!
