Is this true?

Yes, Milady. She's leave with Priest Samjuk.

That intelligent girl understood me.

I want nothing more than for her to leave.

Is it true you are going to treat the lepers?

Yes.

When will you be back?

I'm not sure.

I don't know when I will return.

This is for you.

What...?

It is a medical text. I will be leaving with Priest Samjuk.

I won't be needing it there. Put it to good use.

Thank you.

Dig here.

It's the poria mushroom, which helps the kidney and lungs.

It cures excessive urine and stomachaches.

It usually grows near rotten pine trees.

Master! Master!

I have myocardial infarction.

If it's myocardial infarction, we need medicine made of musk.

But how are we supposed to get that in the mountain?

Take the long needle and stick in the upper spine.

But how can I...

Just do as you've learned.

I'm not yet...

Just do it!

Do it.

You must insert it where the blood gathers.

One wrong insertion can kill. You must find the precise spot.

I have taught you all I can, so don't come here anymore.

Sir?

I still have a long way to go, Master.

You shameless fool.

You want me to waste all my time with you?

You've learned the basics now. It's up to you to become a real doctor.

Leave.

You have done so much for me. Please let me repay your kindness.

Fool, how will you repay me?

Anything. I will do anything for you.

No. Just go.

I can't just leave you like this. Please let me do something for you.

I want to cut open your belly to get a look inside.

Can I?

Huh?

I am sick of looking inside animals.

My only wish is to see inside a real human being.

Will you let me do that?

If not, leave!

I want to cut open your belly to get a look inside.

Help! Is the doctor in?

Doctor! Doctor!

What's the matter, sir?

He's the magistrate's relative. It is very urgent, please hurry.

Have the young master come at once.

Come this way.

The magistrate's relative is sick?

Yes, ma'am.

How sick?

In critical condition.

Good.

If Do-ji saves him, he'll earn the magistrate's gratitude.

- Mother. - Do-ji.

Did you hear about the magistrate's relative?

I did.

This is a great opportunity for you.

You must save him and earn the magistrate's trust.

I will. Let's go.

He has severe chest pains and very cold hands and feet.

It must be myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction? Then...

What's that? What is myocardial infarction?

It's a serious heart condition where eight out of ten die.

Get the myocardial infarction medicine.

Yes, sir.

That medicine could cure the condition. But it's too late for him now.

What the--?

You better perform acupuncture with the long needle.

First in the upper back and then the center of his chest.

What's he babbling about?

Who do you think you are?

Out of my way!

What happened?

The patient is dead.

I understand. Take the body home.

What happened?

The patient was the magistrate's relative. He died from myocardial infarction.

What did you do to him?

I prescribed him with the myocardial infarction medicine.

You did well since he was suffering from myocardial infarction.

However no medicine would've worked considering his extreme condition.

You should have done acupuncture first using the long needle.

The upper back and center of his chest. He might have lived.

You! How did you know?

Know what?

How did you know about that treatment?

I read it from the book Lady Ye-jin gave me.

A medical text?

I have to brew a tonic.

Go ahead.

Wow, that guy's something special.

How is that possible? He knew Doctor Yu's treatment?

Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?

Of course we didn't hear wrong.

Bu-san-po and I heard it ourselves.

Without a doubt.

He knew the treatment that Master Do-ji didn't.

How could he have known it?

How the hell would I know?

He really creeps me out. Argh.

Is it true the patient could've lived if they had listened to Heo Jun?

It's true.

It's all Mr. Lim and the others can talk about.

How can he know the cure when he's just an errand boy?

If that's true, it means he's more skilled than Master Do-ji.

I knew from the moment he arrived that he was special.

So true, so true.

What are you talking about?

Oh!

Milady, it's Han-sang.

Come in.

Did you find out?

Yes, Ha-dong spoke the truth.

He knew the treatment to cure the dying man?

Yes.

What do you think?

When did he surpass Do-ji in terms of medical skills?

I think it was dumb luck. You should forget about it.

No, I had a bad feeling about him from the moment I saw him.

I felt that he would get in Do-ji's way someday.

Keep a close eye on him. We'll kick him out if he slips up.

Yes, Milady.

I'm sick of looking inside beasts.

My only wish is to see inside a real human being.

Will you let me do that?

Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

If you get caught, you'll be executed without question!

I'm not going to kill anyone. I just mean to borrow the corpse.

I think you're totally nuts. Absolutely bonkers.

Why can't you be happy with learning herbs and writing prescriptions?

Why would you want to do something so awful?

Not all doctors have truly earned their titles.

How can we prescribe medicine when we don't know what the interior?

Do all doctors cut open bodies? Did Doctor Yu do that, too?

If you dig up a grave and cut open the body,

you'll be sentenced to death.

And it's not just anyone. This is the magistrate's relative!

Do you want to die?

Yes. I'm crazy. I am crazy about medicine.

It's a path I can't take without losing my mind.

Have you ever seen me go against you?

But this time, I have to say no. Think about your mother and Lady Da-hee.

He is right. You have a family to worry about.

If you can't help me, I'll do it by myself.

I'll help you then.

Have you lost your mind?

I came all the way here for him.

If he wants to die, I'll die with him.

Darn it.

Fine, I'm nothing without my loyalty.

I know it's crazy, but let's do it.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh! Is he crazy?

Why is he joining them?

Hold on, do I turn them in?

Wait, what about my husband?

What am I supposed to do?

Oh my stomach! My stomach!

- What's wrong? What's happening? - Oh, my stomach! I'm dying!

Do you need to poop? Where does it hurt?

Right there.

Ow, my stomach!

What do I do?

I don't think he'll come.

We have to do it before sunrise. Let's go.

It's fine.

Who's there?

Jun!

Jun!

How dare you!

Let's go.

Bastards! Who are you?

Stop right there!

Master, it's me, Heo Jun.

Master!

If you want to become a true doctor, always think about people first.

I have deserted the world, but you should help people.

I wrote this book after reading the classics and studying herbs in Mt. Jiri.

Read them and apply them to your practice.

Small needle, common needle, long needle.

When performing acupuncture...

...good for weak bodies, the heart and the stomach.

It's late. Please get to bed.

I'm all right. You go to sleep.

Anyone here? Anyone?

Help us!

Help us! This is an emergency.

What's wrong?

I heard a doctor lives here. Please save my daughter.

Please save her! Please!

I'm not a proper doctor yet. Let's go to Doctor Yu's clinic.

We don't have time! She's dying!

Please help! Please...

Jun, do what you can.

Dear husband.

Please come in.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you!

- Call Yang-tae for me. - Okay.

- Hurry! - Thanks.

Mother, we need to brighten the room.

Use the sesame oil in the kitchen. It'll make the room brighter.

Alright.

What happened?

It's...

You have to tell me what happened.

She hung herself.

How long has it been? How long?

I don't know.

When I opened the door, she was unconscious.

Please save my daughter's life, doctor. Please save her.

Please.

I need hot water quickly.

Okay.

Take off her clothes.

Take off her clothes?

Do as I say.

Cover her body and rectum with this towel.

Sir?

Hurry!

Yes, sir.

Ma'am, how did it go?

I don't know. I hope she's okay.

- Help me. - Okay.

Why can't she open her eyes? Is she dead?

What if she dies?

Wake up. Open your eyes.

As long as she has warmth in her solar plexus, she can live.

I rubbed her chest, arms and legs. She should be breathing by now.

What went wrong? Where did things go wrong?

Yang-tae! Are you there?

I'm here.

I need a rooster.

Huh? Why do you need a rooster?

Just get me one!

Okay.

How am I supposed to find a rooster in the middle of the night?

- Sundeok! - Sundeok!

Wake up! Please!

Why hasn't she responded yet?

Back off!

- What if she dies? - Back off!

Jun, I'm back!

Come in.

Yeah. Here's the rooster you wanted.

What the...!

Open her mouth! Hurry!

Sundeok!

Sundeok!

What's he doing?

Mix liquor with chicken excrement and bring it to me.

I see.

Excrement? What are you doing?

What are you doing?

She's not breathing at all, and you're doing strange things.

What if you kill her?

Please calm down.

He's doing all he can. Please just wait a little more.

How much longer must we wait?

Sundeok! Sundeok!

- Sundeok! - Child!

- Wake up! - Sundeok!

Wake up!

Child!

Sundeok! Wake up!

Are you a doctor?

No, sir.

Then how can you treat a patient?

You wouldn't do that unless you don't care for lives!
