SECRET HEALER

EPISODE 18

She's not here.

The Princess has escaped with Jun.

If they are determined to hide, even the soldiers will be of no use.

You ordered me to kill her.

I'm sure you do not want to let her walk away.

If you order your soldiers to help me, I'm sure I can capture the Princess.

Do you think...

I agreed with you because I trust you?

If you let the Princess walk away, the people are going to resent you.

Isn't that why you agreed with my plan in the first place?

They are already blaming the Princess, so why are you hesitating?

If you get rid of the Princess who caused the plague and the famine,

the people will praise you for being a good and wise king.

No one will ever look down on you for being a collateral descendant.

What exactly do you want to gain?

Why are you inciting me?

By any chance,

are you expecting me to forgive you

after all the crimes you have committed?

We only had the same objective.

That is why I ordered you to kill the Princess.

I have no intention of acquitting you.

I am aware of that.

All I want is to get rid of the Princess.

I am not asking for anything in return, Your Majesty.

I will order the soldiers to help you then.

Make sure you capture the Princess no matter what.

If I bring back the Princess,

please order Poong-yeon Choi to execute her.

Are you really asking me

to order Poong-yeon

to execute the Princess?

He inherited the True Samadhi Fire,

so he's the only one who can kill the cursed Princess.

He sacrificed his own life to save the Princess.

He even disobeyed my orders.

This time,

he won't disobey you.

Clear out.

Move aside.

Make way.

Clear out.

Make way.

Move aside.

Make way.

Make way.

My wife and children passed away from the plague

because of the cursed Princess.

Let's go get that monster!

Let's do it!

Let's get rid of the monster.

She's a hideous monster.

-She's a treacherous ghost. -That's right.

This is a terrible omen. Let's burn it up.

-Let's burn it. -Let's just burn it.

Because of this monster,

we are stricken with plague and misfortune.

It's so scary. Quickly burn it up.

-Quickly. -Wicked monster.

-This is a horrible omen. -Burn it up.

My lord.

Have you found Yeon-hee?

Staying away for now is what's best for her.

I understand why she escaped.

The people are planning to get rid of her.

However, there isn't much time left. We have to light all the candles.

We must find her before Hong-joo does.

I think we should look for her separately.

I will go to the cave where she used to hide.

Yes, my lord.

My lord.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Please hurry.

Oh, my.

Are you sure you can catch something?

Just wait a little.

Looks like we're going to starve today.

Do you really think I will let you starve?

Just wait.

It feels good to be here with you.

Yeon-hee.

Tell me the things we did that you enjoyed the most today.

I liked it when we walked while we were holding hands.

I also liked you carrying me on your back while we were crossing the creek.

It was so fun when you couldn't catch a single fish earlier.

I just like being with you.

As for me,

I liked it when you smiled.

If I wasn't cursed,

do you think we would still meet?

Who are you?

We would probably still meet each other,

but we're also probably just leading ordinary lives.

Just like today.

One day,

I'm sure we would recognize each other.

Can you speak comfortably to me like before?

I don't think we're close enough for me to do that.

It is none of your concern.

I'm sure we're going to miss those ordinary moments.

We will miss each other when we're apart and we will smile when we're together.

Every moment we spend together would feel too short.

I will always treasure

the time we spent together.

Just like this moment.

Jun.

Yeon-hee.

They wouldn't come here if they really escaped.

We never know.

They don't have anywhere else to go.

This isn't a place where outsiders like you can enter

but I still brought you here because I had no other choice.

Jun.

Jun.

Yeon-hee.

Are they there?

Where on earth did they go?

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Why are you chasing us?

It's His Majesty's order!

Yeon-hee.

Jun!

Where is Jun?

I need to find him.

The soldiers are still looking for you out there.

I don't care.

Please let me go, Poong-yeon.

I have to find Jun.

I have to find him.

Yeon-hee!

Calm down.

I will look for him.

Jun didn't do anything wrong.

It's all my fault.

I am the one to blame.

Why does Jun have to...

Why does he have to suffer because of me?

What am I going to do if he's dead?

No.

He can't be dead. Please...

He can't die.

No.

Jun.

Stop right there!

You lost the Princess?

Please don't worry.

We're going to catch her soon.

Did you order the soldiers to capture the Princess?

The people witnessed who she truly is.

Even if you desperately beg me to save her life,

there is nothing I can do.

If you don't do anything,

I will reveal that you suffered from an illness caused by black magic

and that you tried to cure it with black magic as well.

I will tell everyone that a mere shaman is manipulating you.

I am going to reveal everything.

Please go ahead and reveal everything.

If you want to destroy the royal family,

then do as you please.

When did you start caring for the Princess?

Are you really doing this for the sake of the Princess?

Aren't you just afraid about people finding out

that you used black magic to have children?

Why are you here?

Does my existence frighten you?

I am the prime minister!

I will soon become the first vice-premier!

This is too harsh.

-Move! -How could they exile me?

-Move! -Please, have mercy.

Move!

Release me.

Hurry. Run!

-Gosh! -Stop right there!

-Hurry. -Get him!

You little scoundrels! You can't exile me!

Jun.

Jun!

Yeon-hee...

Is Yeon-hee all right?

Wake up.

You have to stay awake.

Yeon-hee is missing.

I'm going to look for her, so just wait here.

My lord.

I'll come with you.

Look at your condition. Will you be okay?

Yeon-hee is in a worse state than I am.

Where do you think she went?

She thought you were dead,

so she lost her senses.

Then,

she probably went back to the Palace.

I will be right behind you.

You should hurry and go back.

My lord.

My lord.

So?

Are you saying

that you will kill me?

What's wrong?

Am I not allowed to kill?

You are all so eager to kill me.

Princess.

You don't need to worry about me anymore.

Jun is dead.

They killed him.

I'm ordering you to stop what you're doing!

How dare you threaten me, the King?

Do you have a death wish?

Who are you...

Who are you to say if I live or die?

Don't you still know the reason?

You were born because of their selfishness and greed.

You were only born so you could die from the very beginning.

Shut your mouth.

Why are you risking your life to lift the curse?

Those you risked your life for have abandoned you.

That is how the royal family is.

They used your mother and abandoned her just like what they did to you.

What are you saying?

You were brought to this world

because of me.

I used black magic to bring you into this world.

That is why you are cursed.

Aren't you curious about how that happened?

I told you to shut your mouth!

Yeon-hee.

Please don't listen to her.

Queen Sim...

is not your real mother.

Queen Sim was infertile and couldn't bear a child.

Your real mother was a court maid.

She used her to conceive you and the Crown Prince.

I transferred you and your brother to Queen Sim's womb using black magic.

Then,

Queen Sim killed your real mother.

Yeon-hee.

That is how your curse started.

Your pain and suffering all started from this place.

Pay them back by leaving them with your curse.

Shut your mouth.

That is the punishment you want to inflict upon the royal family.

What does your grudge have to do with me?

Why do I have to die because of your vengeance?

Why do I have to fall victim to your distorted greed?

This is all your fault and you will pay for it with your life.

No.

It doesn't matter now.

Let's just all die together.

My lord.

Don't lose sight of who you truly are.

Don't be so arrogant.

From the moment I saw you with Yeon-hee,

I already hated you.

If you didn't show up,

I would be by Yeon-hee's side now.

My lord.

You almost killed Yeon-hee because Hong-joo tricked you.

Try to remember that, my lord.

You already got rid of the voices in your head before.

This is all your fault.

If it wasn't for you,

I would be by Yeon-hee's side.

If you didn't show up,

those horrible things

wouldn't have happened

to Yeon-hee.

My lord.

You've already decided to let go of that.

You have to get rid of those voices whispering inside your mind.

You can do it.

Focus on what you want to protect the most!

Yeon-hee is in danger.

I know...

you would risk your life for Yeon-hee.

My lord.

Go.

Rescue Yeon-hee.

Go!

Yeon-hee!

I wanted to live normally like everyone else.

I just wanted to live a normal life with him.

Was that so wrong?

Why do the ones I love have to die?

Yeon-hee.

Don't do that.

Arrest them!

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

-Your Majesty. -No.

Don't.

Please listen to me.

She only did that because she thought I was dead.

I don't care about the way you feel for each other.

The Princess said it herself.

She said she's going to kill me.

Why did you order the soldiers to kill the Princess?

You know that the Princess

has nothing to do with the plague and the misfortunes.

I will investigate the cause of the plague circulating the town.

I will meet everyone who got infected by the plague.

I will uncover the cause of it and I will find the treatment.

I will do whatever it takes, so please...

Please save the Princess.

The rumor about the Queen Dowager

was all true.

The Princess was really cursed.

Whether or not the plague is her fault...

does not matter.

The Princess was born...

with the use of black magic.

Now that I know the truth,

I can't simply ignore it.

Didn't you say that you wanted to become a good king?

Are you not...

going to take responsibility

just because you fear the people who criticize you?

The people are tired and don't have a place to go to.

That is why they're blaming the Princess.

Why are you trying to cover it up?

Please look at how your people are living and find a solution, Your Majesty.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are to say that to me?

I am...

I'm protecting this throne with my life.

Don't bother me again.

Come in!

Lock him up.

-Yes, Your Majesty! -Yes, Your Majesty!

Are you all right?

I shouldn't have left you behind.

It wasn't your fault.

Yeon-hee.

Don't worry and don't be afraid.

I would really like to escape with you

but I know that is not what you want.

So I will just protect you in the only way I know how.

I promise you,

they won't be able to do anything to you.

I will...

make sure of it.

Poong-yeon.

Yeon-hee.

I like you a lot.

You mean everything to me.

I'm very disappointed.

Who knew you were so weak and cowardly?

You witch!

Release me this instant.

This is exactly why I'm here.

How could you kill yourself

before fulfilling a big task assigned to you?

You can't ruin things like that.

You...

You won't gain anything from me.

Doesn't it hurt?

You won't gain anything.

Your feelings won't be reciprocated.

Just remember that excruciating pain.

That will help you feel better.

You're slowly becoming another person.

-Hey. -What?

Is there a war going on?

What's with the mood here?

It's because the Princess cursed the town with a plague.

A plague?

Wait.

I turned out like this because of Jun and the Princess.

Are you really saying that all of this is because of the Princess' curse?

Where is the Princess?

I heard she escaped.

Escaped...

In that case,

we should catch her and become heroes.

What do you think will happen then?

-The Princess... -Yes?

She has strange powers.

She can even throw people just by looking at them.

-All right? -What?

Let's not catch her then.

BOOK OF CURSES

I know that this is not everything.

I'm talking about the Book of Curses.

What are you hiding from me?

My lord,

you can no longer turn your back on me.

I also don't want to turn my back on you.

What do you want then?

Tell me.

I want the last page of the Book of Curses.

I want the last page.

Bring it to me.

Sir!

I think I found the woman you're searching for.

Are you sure?

I heard she returned to the Palace.

The Palace?

No.

Yo-gwang.

My lord.

You need to return the thing I asked you to keep for me.

What do you mean?

The last page of the Book of Curses.

Give it back to me.

Why are you suddenly looking for it?

We burned it a long time ago.

Go and hide when I tell you.

Now!

Please stop now.

Do you think you can wield your sword into me?

You are nothing

but a worthless loser.

If someone has to kill you,

I will do it.

Really?

Then kill me.

But don't make any mistakes if you wish to save the Princess.

I can't do it, my lord.

How could I ever do that to you?

Please...

Please come to your senses.

It's Yeon-hee.

The one...

you protected by risking your life.

It's your daughter.

It's Yeon-hee.

Sir!

Sir.

Oh, no.

What did you just say?

The Princess' execution...

has been scheduled.

She's going to be executed tomorrow morning.

Your Highness.

It's all over.

It's all over.

What can I do about my poor daughter?

What can I do about my princess?

Princess.

Is this really the end?

Is there really nothing I can do for Yeon-hee?

They are ready to execute her.

Master.

Master.

Please come to your senses.

You still have to protect the person you treasure.

I can't just watch you live with regrets.

I can no longer stand seeing you in despair.

You foolish girl.

Didn't I tell you

that your feelings would bring you to your end?

No.

No.

Master.

You...

Who are you?

How did you end up there?

I was kicked out,

so I kept wandering and found myself there.

Do you have any relatives?

I don't.

I never had one.

I see.

Why don't you work for me?

I'll make sure to feed you for the rest of your life.

No.

I'm sorry.

No!

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

-Open the cell. -Yes, sir!

-Your Highness. -Princess Yeon-hee.

Princess...

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

No, please.

-Princess. -Princess Yeon-hee.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

Your Highness...

The prisoner is here!

-Make way! -She's the witch!

-Kill the witch! -Make way!

Step back!

Make way!

Get out of the way!

Move out of the way!

It's the witch!

The Princess is guilty of casting a curse and for causing a plague.

She will be executed for the said crimes.

-Kill her right now! -Kill her!

-Execute her! -She's a witch!

Light the fire.
