Episode 20.

This man, Lee Ha Eung.

Starting today I will completely give up on politics, and

leave it all behind.

Leave it all behind?

For what reason?

Elder!

The Left State Minister

has the letter of agreement that I had with the French priest.

Even if I accuse them of high treason, If they release that letter to the public,

all blame will be poured onto me.

They will say that the so-called King's father was trying to

sell this country out by making an agreement with a foreign power.

So you're stepping back now?

You should fight! You got up to that position by fighting.

By doing so,

if I get crushed, I am not afraid of them.

However, what will happen to the King,

who will be left all alone at the end of that fight?

Stepping down now,

is for the young King.

What about the Catholics?

Even if you back down now, Left State Minister will not stop the persecution.

And they won't leave you alone, either.

Did you say that they believe in the Lord?

Like they're putting their lives on the line for their religion...

I too, will put my life on the line for this nation.

This land of Joseon is...

like a religion to me.

Elder...

Come here!

Prince Regent is losing the power.

How did something like this happen?

By chance...

by trying to stop the Catholic persecution, did history get distorted?

With a piece of paper, you have gained the world back, Lord.

From the beginning, this world was not meant to be shared with Prince Heung Seon.

Finally, the world is turning the way it should be.

There is an extra secure drawer in the Taxation Department. Keep this there.

Oh...Why are you keeping it separately?

There are many people with shady backgrounds under Prince Heung Seon.

At one point, someone had broke into my house, and stole the box of gold.

When he takes the letter,

escort and guard him.

Yes, Father.

Isn't that unnecessary caution?

Prince Heung Seon seems to have given up completely. Hmm?

I heard that Prince Heung Seon will be holding a banquet for the people under him. Huh?

What? In this situation... A banquet?

Would he be drinking for joy?

It would be more like a time of farewell.

The taste of that drink would be more bitter than ??

What's this? Were you not able to contact everyone?

Of course I did.

I have told everyone to gather together, as Prince Regent is treating drinks.

But why are these the only people?

When a ship starts sinking, rats are the first to run away.

Rumors must have spread already.

I have never seen a noble man who is loyal!

Oh, except for Officer Lee.

Everyone sit down!

Choon Hong!

Yes.

I am planning on getting drunk with these people today. Bring all the drinks that you have in this house.

How could I refuse an order from such a high official?

If there isn't enough, I would make it and bring it.

Oh, bring in the Guhmungo player and the singer, too.

I will.

Here...today we

take the official clothing off, and enjoy ourselves without any pretense.

Wait...

I don't see Officer Hong.

Brother!

Why?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I am sorry.

You foolish girl.

I...

tried to change the world with my sword.

But you tried to change it with (God's) grace.

Betray your religion.

That is the only way to save your life.

Brother

Denying the religion won't make your inner belief disappear.

Instead of showing it with death, protect it by living.

Not only me,

but Doctor Jin is also worrying about you so much.

Denying the religion is the only way, Young Rae.

You look like you have something to tell me.

What is it?

What are you planning on doing with the Catholic believers?

Catholics? Why are you asking about it?

Although their sin for believing in a foreign religion is big, I don't think they should lose their lives for it.

To show our clan's benevolent spirit,

how about if we let the Catholics go?

That is unthinkable!

People are like molten metal that is always boiling with complaints and anger.

As long as you can find the catalyst to cool that heat,

beneath that, they will boil, cool, and then harden.

That means...

It's better that the people's anger is directed to the Catholics,

rather than to the noble society.

As it turns out,

Prince Heung Seon has worked hard to set the way.

That is one that we could thank him for.

Ah... Lord...

They are all... Hahaha

Look, who's here! Eh?

My only friend, Doctor Jin!

Here, here, here. Get some drink. Bottoms up!

I will take you home. Please get up now.

Oh, you clueless dude.

Finally, Choon Hong was going to serve me. And you are telling me to leave now?

Choon Hong, didn't you say so?

There are as many days as a bird's feathers. So would it be so hard to serve you?

Here...

However, why don't you leave for the day?

Ah, you rude woman.

Because I am getting kicked out of the palace,

even you are looking down on me?

Of course not!

Then, stop talking and serve me now.

Sir.

Uh huh. Stay still.

Sir!

Do whatever you want! Get drunk and start gambling!

You can go back to being a street dog!

Say that again!

Just because you are my friend doesn't mean you can say whatever you want.

You call me a friend. But do you even listen to me?

You said you were worried about the young King.

Then you should look for something you can do for him!

I've lost my position and power. So what can I do?

Have you come this far because you had power before?

I will not stand back and not do anything.

I don't know from when what went wrong.

But I will not just watch the history that I know

get all twisted.

Sir!

Bring more drinks!

Not the one that gets me drunk, but I need to drink the one that wakes me up.

Sir,

Stop it now.

What you are trying to do for the Lady... No matter what it is, you cannot mess with the history.

Step aside!

I came to save you.

The reason I came back from that world to here as a young girl is...

in order to protect you, Sir.

Hmph, That sounds reasonable.

You got me there.

Sir!

No.

I can't let this happen.

The Lady, I have to save her. Then Mi Na also can be...

The Royal Guards should be more alert at night than during the day time.

Watch closely with both of your eyes open.

Yes!

I thought everyone had gone home, since the lights were out at the Royal clinic.

I came here because I have something to talk to you about.

Byung In Bak Hae: It's the event when numerous Catholics are sacrificed,

causing the French fleet to attack Gang Hwa Province.

The Kyung Bok Palace reconstruction causes too much burden...

Who are you?

I asked who you were!

If you are really innocent, then you would tell me your name and where you live.

The Future country...

It's not this Joseon.

It's very far away...

Doctor Jin!

Tomorrow,

they will execute all the Christians.

They will let the ones who deny the religion live.

I heard it from my brother.

He told me to give up my religion and save my life.

So you are going to do that, right?

Miss.

You will lose your life if you don't give up your medical skills...

Then, Doctor Jin, can you abandon practicing medicine?

Is this kind of life worth living?

You don't give up your life to prove something.

Can I live without practicing medicine?

Yes, I can.

Even though it's cowardly and I'll be miserable, I will still live. I will live,

and find something other than medicine to live excellently.

It will be hard. Living may be more miserable.

But your fate

may not only be yours.

What do you mean by that?

I don't know.

I don't know how to explain it, but just for me...

Can't you do it for me?

Who are you, bastards!

If you give up the letter, we will spare your life.

Shut up!

Hurt me!

So that they won't be suspicious of me.

Hurry!

Hu....hurry!

Let's go.

To you, who are deceived by the foreign religion,

this is the last chance for you to turn back and live.

These things have been dirtied with your hands.

If you want to live, step on them.

Those who refuse and turn back are assumed willing to die. So I will gladly cut your head off!

Even if you are rolling on the dog manure, this world is said to be better.

Don't think of dying in vain. Hurry, come up to the front.

That's right. Of course, that's what you should do.

Hey, hey, hey! Look at that bastard!

Get him over here immediately and cut his head off!

-Who are you? -I'm a royal physician, it'll be just a moment.

There is an order that no one should be allowed in!

Just a moment.

Move away!

How many steps are in between this world and the other one?

Which one would you choose to go?

But your fate...

May not be only yours.

I am sorry, Doctor Jin.

My fate...

Maybe only up to here.

Just for a moment please.

Miss! Miss!!

Just for a moment please! Miss!

Miss!

Miss...

It's the King's Royal Decree!

The captured Catholics are to be released as innocent under the King's order.

What is this about...?

In addition, from now on...

the King has ordered that no Catholic is to be captured, tortured, or interrogated.

The defense department and the police should obey this decree immediately!

What in the world?

The King is having a meal. Therefore, you can come back later, if you have something to say.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Prince Regent, tell him to take back the Royal decree immediately!

As a subject of the King,

rather than obeying the King's order, you are telling him to take it back or not.

You, Left State Minister, is the one who is speaking nonsense!

What!

If you do this as you leave, it won't be much fun.

Who's leaving!

I don't have time to make idle talk with you.

There is a mountain of work to do as I help out the young King.

That...man, isn't he gone completely mad, Father?

The Minister of Taxation!

What?

Has he moved the letter safely?

Miss, are you alright?

Doctor Jin, what happened?

How come so suddenly...?

It's alright. It's all over now.

Please forgive me.

I was trying hard to forget your request.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

I thought you might do that.

Anyway, it's alright since you're safe. Let's go.

Don't worry too much. You won't be in danger anymore.

Dr. Jin.

The way it should be, this persecution should continue, shouldn't it?

Yes.

Did you change it around, Doctor Jin?

How come?

Perhaps, that fate,

even though it doesn't only belong to me, is it because of that?

I don't know.

Doctor Jin, you were afraid to change history, but when I see you putting so much effort to do so,

I think there's a good reason for it.

Do you want to hear the reason for it?

I want to protect you as long as I am in this world.

Of course there may be other reasons too. But you're the most important person to me right now.

Thank you.

I thank you also.

Even if I had ten tongues, I don't have anything to say, Sir.

What about the Minister of Taxation?

He is experiencing seizure so he went home to get some rest.

It's more likely that he is afraid to be blamed and is hiding.

Such a useless person.

Did you get cut deeply?

It doesn't interfere with functioning.

The one who uses the sword also has to be fearful of it.

I'll keep that in mind, Sir.

Anyway, we are chased into the corner.

We have lost our card but they still have their card.

How should we overcome this difficulty?

Do not worry about Officer Lee's letter of agreement.

What do you mean by that?

Tomorrow morning, we will be leaving with the letter.

But how could...

Last night, I sneaked into Woon Young quarter and stole it out.

Is that true?

As I was coming out, I have got into sword fight with a few,

but I don't think they know it was me.

Even though you have achieved something, you've also lost something as well.

I am sorry.

However, this is still good news.

Prince Heung Seon has lost the proof for accusing us of high treason.

That's right, Sir.

If that's the case, we still have the winning hand.

Because he ordered the Catholics to be released,

the public outcry is soaring.

When he loses the heart of the people, he won't be able to stand long.

We shall arouse all the Court subjects to chase him into the corner.

Would he be defeated easily?

After calling "check" and "checkmate\

the only thing that's left is hitting him in the back.

He won't be able to escape this time.

How did this get to the Left State Minister in the first place?

This proves that the Major has not betrayed our secret.

How's the major's injury?

I did not...

cut him that deep.

It's "Go Yook Ji Gae": [A strategy of harming one's own body in order to deceive the enemy.]

The Left State Minister should not be suspicious of him, right?

Since he was given the letter regarding the high treason,

he shouldn't be blamed for everything.

Is the major still concerned about the safety of his family?

Even if he is the son of a concubine, he still is the bloodline of the Left State Minister.

He could not ignore a disaster which would destroy his enitre family.

He has many faces.

Among all those,

I wonder which one is his true self.

You should find it.

He is not the type... who would think of something else.

Is there a reason why you wouldn't trust the major?

The fact that my success or failure depends on someone else is what I cannot trust.

In addition, as you said, he may follow his father's blood.

Let's go to the King's Court.

Right now?

Because we have released the Catholics, people would be upset.

It is time to use the prescription that Doctor Jin has given me.

Your subject, Left State Minister, is speaking.

Inside and outside of the capital city,

complaints towards the King and Prince Regent are rising.

As if leasing those who believe in foreign religion isn't enough,

because of the King's decree that states that they will never be guilty in the future,

the people's hearts are wavering.

That is not all.

Because of the King's decree that we shall not interrogate them,

noblemen and scholars cannot stop crying out.

Aren't all those petitions driven by the Left State Minister?

No matter how much I fan, if there wasn't a source of fire to begin with,

there wouldn't have been any fire.

Please take back the King's order and punish those who are trying to protect

the foreign religion. Your Highness.

I don't want to.

My mother is a Christian and my father has released them.

And you are telling me to punish them?

How can an unfilial son qualify to be a King?

You are absolutely right, Your Highness.

Those who are not willing to pay a cent for the funeral are the same ones who are demanding so much.

People are paying the taxes for this country, when they are laboring to the point of breaking their back.

But what about the self righteous noblemen and scholars?

You are all healthy but do not do anything, other than moving your tongues and complaining!

Then, are you saying that you will start collecting taxes from the noblemen?

Speak.

Last time, durring the Sam Nam province's revolt,

the uproar against the corruption of this government has been revealed to the whole world.

Therefore, in order to straighten out the goverment and to strengthen the nation's finances,

we will implement Ho Po Je. [Taxation to every family, including the nobelmen]

What is this? Ho Po Je? Uh oh...

Taxation will not depend on the number of people in the family,

rather it will depend on each clan, regardless of their social status.

However, we will separate noblemen vs. commoners

and there will be separate tax brackets.

This is just unbelievable, no matter how much I think about it!

The person who should've been kicked out of the palace, is going to empty out the storage room of the noblemen!

Tax? It's supposed to be paid by the lowly ones. Does it even make sense to let noblemen pay that?!

Ha! Only if the letter was not stolen back, the situation would not have turned this bad.

Oh, I...am not trying to blame you...father...

How would mere thieves have targeted the Minister of Taxation?

What?

There seems to be a bug in the Orchid.

It is possible to have a bug in the family.

You will be able to detect it only if you observe it very carefully.

I shall follow the bastard around.

Ha ha ha ha

It is more difficult to see you, Doctor Jin,

than to have an audience with the King himself!

Have a seat.

I've heard from Office Hong.

That the lady has been released safely.

Yes, due to your help.

Doctor Jin,

how can I express my my gratitude to you?

You are the most important person in my life.

It all worked out fine. That's good enough for me.

Since we have stopped the persecution of the Catholics,

The war that you were worried about will not happen.

Isn't that so?

That's what I should wish for.

From this incident,

I realized something.

Joseon's future will be

detemined not only by internal affairs, but

by other countries as well. Japan,

China,

and even the country above it,

Russia.

I have to know what's going on with the other countries surrounding Joseon.

You

probably learned about their history as well.

Please tell me about their future.

Sir, that...

If you feel uncomfortable talking about it,

you can write the letter, like the last time.

It would be very useful to this country.

I cannot do that, Sir.

We already came too far.

We cannot change history anymore.

Aren't you worried about the future of this country?

I don't even know myself what will happen tomorrow.

Sir, I know what you mean, but,

I cannot honor your request.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to impose on you anything that you don't want to do.

But, Doctor Jin...

Have you thought about your reason for being here?

Perhaps,

you were meant to change the course of Joseon's history.

Perhaps so.

Or perhaps not.

Hey there, Doctor Jin...

You spend more time doing secret work

than in the Royal clinic.

I'm tired. I'll be going.

I...

will need to get rid of this.

Film location: Korean Folk Village

There isn't anything wrong.

Oh...

Is that right? But,

why is all my internal system uncomfortable?

Maybe because of Prince Heung Seon's success,

I must be jealous.

Your wonderous medical skills had saved me.

So I shouldn't have illness of mind.

Oh, your medical skills...

What did you say about where you learned it?

Did you say you learned it from a Westerner?

Or you've aquired the skill in China?

Why all of a sudden...?

If not...

did you say you learned it from far away future?

Dae Kyun, when you traveled,

you have seen many objects from the Westerners and Chinese.

Yes, Sir. But I have never seen

these kind of things before.

Father, did you look for me?

Come in.

Did you know Doctor Jin's identity?

Yes.

Then how come you didn't come forward with it?

Oh...

It was such a shocking thing,

I wanted to find out for sure.

Doctor Jin. From earlier on,

I've been very impressed with your wondrous medical knowledge.

I thought you were different from other doctors.

Really, this is unbelievable.

So you're a doctor from the Future...

Why don't I see Doctor Jin?

Ah, he has gone to the Left State Minister's house to check his health.

What about Doctor Yoo?

Doctor Jin went to Left State Minister's house instead?

You see...

Left State Minister

specifically asked for Doctor Jin.

How Prince Heung Seon has gone up to that position without much obstacle...

I understand it now.

You, Doctor Jin, have

told him the way, didn't you?

No,

That Prince Heung Seon became the father of the KIng

was predetermined per history.

I had nothing to do with it.

Then,

what will happen to Prince Heung Seon?

What about our Ahn Dong Kim clan?

What are you doing?

He's asking you.

Even if I knew,

I couldn't tell you, Sir.

Ah, what!

Calm down.

You have been telling Prince Heung Seon the heaven's secret so far.

But why are you being so stingy only to me?

From now on, I can't talk to anyone

about the Future.

I told this to Prince Heung Seon also.

Why did you only tell Prince Heung Seon?

Do you know the reason?

I heard it was to prevent a war, Sir.

War?

In order to prevent the war that is about to happen to Joseon,

because of the French priest.

For me,

would you change your mind?

I'm sorry.

So it won't work.

If you join me,

you will gain all the riches and power.

You may leave now.

Father,

you are letting him go like that?

The letter.

Right.

The Westerner's letter stated this.

That if we keep persecuting the Catholics, they

will send the military.

Go find the western priest. Bring him to me once you find him.

Yes, Father.

Is he the boss?

Oh, Doctor Jin.

Here, sit down.

Not long ago, I panicked in front of you.

That's why I'm here to drink and reconcile with you.

Here, take this drink.

Was Left State Minister sick?

He was lacking strength a little.

Is that right?

He didn't talk about anything else?

No, Sir.

I don't know what Prince Heung Seon told you, but Joseon's's real power is I,

Kim Byeong Hee.

Also, it's up to me to handle the fate of the Catholics in Joseon.

The matter of missionaries and re-catching the Catholic believers.

What do you want from me, Sir?

Did you said you will return to China when the day breaks?

Yes, I will do that.

If you go back,

return with your war ships.

Come to Joseon and show us your military power.

What do you mean by that?

I promised there will be no war.

That agreement is broken. You have to cater to my demands.

If you come and shoot a few rounds of artillary,

we can guarantee that you can preach freely.

If I cannot do that, then,

Innocent believers and

you all, French priests will all be killed.

My father has power to do such a thing.

I have to go back to China and negotiate.

Decide which side is better for your country and fellow Christians. Please consider carefully.

Hey, even the stray cats should be sleeping at this hour. Is this right for us to be spending all night here?

What do you mean "us"? YOU should keep watch!

What? That's not fair!

Again with your nonsense. Be careful before I beat you up.

The Prince Regent seriously asked me to be a look out so keep your eyes open!

Is this regarding about the noblemen paying the taxes?

Everyone I know is all clapping for it, saying that it's a great thing!

Seriously, with your nonsense.

That's why the high and mighty noblemen will gather around and start scheming.

Don't doze off.

Boss, look.

That side.

Don't tell me that is the Catholic priest.

A Western priest!

Did you say war?

The Royal circle does not have a strong foundation.

If they cannot fight off a foreign attack, they will waver greatly.

There is no guarantee that Prince Heung Seon will be able to defend well.

But...How do you ask for foreign military in order to drive out Prince Heung Seon...

In order to destroy him who has earned the heart of the people,

this is the only prescription.

It seems like that Western priest has not made a decision.

Go after them and help them make the decision.

What?

Go and slay them all, except for one priest!

You, have something else to do.

Yes.

Lord, lord!

We were watching the Left State Minister and

What's going on?

Did that clan members have a meeting?

A westerner. A western priest has come by.

A western priest?

Yes. It seems to me that they had some extremely important discussion.

Where did he go?

I have sent Ggae Bok to follow. So he should be able to tell us where he went.

Officer Hong! Officer Sim!

Send people out right away to capture that western priest.

Yes, lord.

You.

What did you talk about with the Left State Minister?

Elder. We still don't know what this is all about.

Do you take me for a dummy?

The fact that the Left State Minister met the western priest cannot be a good thing for me.

Let's first capture that priest and then discuss.

Elder.

Elder!

Things are being twisted around.

The history that has changed and the history that is trying to return the way it should be...

they are conflicting with each other and being shattered.

Truly... Is this truly what you wished for?

Sir!

Sir.

Archer.

No! You can't do this.

Prevented...

I thought it's already prevented.

It's still not late.

Surely we can find another way.

We can send someone to China...

What exactly

did you talk about with the Left State Minister?

Pardon?

The future of Joseon... No, did you tell him all about what would happen to me?

Elder.

I have trusted you as a friend.

But you...

Everything that we had planned together...

Did you tell them all to the Left State Minister?

Right now...

are you suspecting me?

Are you saying that I betrayed you?

Then answer me.

What exactly did you tell the Left state Minister?

Doctor Jin!

It would've been better if I did not know anything and

if there was nothing to say.

From the very beginning,

I shouldn't have come to this world.

You've come.

What is the matter?

I have something to tell you.

Don't tell me something happened to Doctor Jin?

Something that will happen in the near future.

Not because of others, but

Is because of you, Miss.

What is all this luggage?

You are leaving?

No.

Just packing my belongings.

Don't hide it.

I heard it all.

In your head a tumor is growing.

The headache is also because of that.

If you change history,

your existence,

will forever disappear.

Miss.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Just to save me, everything became like this.

I know who said such a thing.

Don't believe it. Everything is a lie.

But...

That's the best thing I did since I've come here.

Protecting you and teaching you medical skills.

Then why are you trying to leave?

Only if I disappear, there won't be any other problems for everyone else.

And you, too.

Is that why you want to leave secretly?

I'm sorry.

Don't leave, Dr. Jin.

Teach me medical skills again.

No. Even if I don't learn anything it's all right.

Please don't leave my side.

Miss.

If you leave...

why must you leave me with this incurable disease.

Miss.

We...

will meet again.

Doctor Jin,

In case I...

I...

Did the Lady come to see you?

What you did was unnecessary.

The Lady has to know also.

Otherwise you'll continue...

Stop it!

I don't want to hear about worthless things.

There's one more thing!

I couldn't tell you earlier...

The last fact.

What more do you have to say?

For me? Don't be funny!

You only used me from the beginning.

To get Prince Heung Seon in his place,

you manipulated me.

My Lord!

How can you say something like that?

Alright. I will disappear quietly.

As if I had never existed from the beginning,

I will disappear forever.

So you need to stop talking nonsense...

as well.

What is it?

Who are you people?

What's this?

What are you guys? What?!

Who are you, bastards! Stop right there!

Don't talk.

Unni! What to do?

Unni! Is she hurt?!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Please give me hot water with gauze.

As much as possible. Yes.

My lord...

Please don't talk! You need a surgery!

But...I have to tell you...

That's enough! Please don't talk!

Later. Please talk later.

Over here. This way, please.

The reason why I returned from the other world

was to protect you.

What more do you have to say?

To protect me? Don't be funny!

You only used me from the beginning

to get Prince Heung Seon to his place.

You manipulated me.

My Lord...

How can you say something like that?

What did you say!

Then, is she in critical condition?

Yes, Doctor Jin started the surgery but,

he said it won't be easy...

Evidently, the heart is lacerated.

Even the heart valve is stabbed in too deeply.

The condition is critical.

What's the matter? Is anything wrong?

The heart sustained a very deep laceration.

Probably everything is torn and damaged.

The heart is torn?

Then why don't we just suture it up? Close it up!

To do a heart surgery she must first be connected to an artificial heart machine.

When the heart stop then we can begin the surgery.

It's impossible to do it here.

Doctor Jin!

Maybe her life cannot be saved.

Doctor Jin?

Are you giving up on the patient then?

No. I'll do the surgery until the end.

If there is any chance at all, I won't give up.

Will you be able to help?

Is that even something to ask?

I'll help! Of course, I'll help!

I'll also help to the end.

If the valve is torn it is possible to form blood clots.

This is not an easy surgery.

Since when did you only do easy surgeries?

Why don't you do it! Yes.

The interior of the heart can not be operated on.

We can only suture the muscles of the right ventricle.

Doctor Jin! The heart...

No! Please! Please!

It worked!

The heart is...The heart is beating again.

Her heart was barely saved, but

we are unable to do a surgery on the valve.

It could be dangerous if blood clots develop.

Are you awake?

I didn't know if I would see you again.

Her breath sounds are coarse,

don't tell me the blood clot already entered the stomach area.

Then, it's not good.

Miss...I want to see the children...

Can you get them...?

I understand. I'll go get them.

I still have something to say to you...

Please don't talk. You need to stay calm now.

It pertains to the Lady...

Later. I'll listen to you later.

The Lady....You cannot save her life according to her fate.

While trying to do useless thing...

you may disapear forever.

So that's why I returned here to protect you.

What does that mean?

The world you left...

that person there...

is already...dead...

What are you talking about?

Mi...What about Mi Na...?

What about Mi Na?

My Lord...

Look here.

Look here, Look here!

Look here...Look here!

No... No!

Look here! No!
