Original subtitles

The patient's condition is strange. Please check her.

What?

I'll never be fooled by you again.

Boys! Get this man out of here!

My lord!

- Get him out! - My lord!

My lord!

She should take the decoction.

I can't trust you anymore.

Get this man out of here, now!

Yes, sir!

My lord! My Lord!

My Lord!

Episode 14

Sir!

She needs to take the decoction and recover her strength!

I need to look after the patient!

Shut your mouth!

Lock him up straight away.

And go to Sanum and bring Yoo Weetae.

Yes, sir. Lock him up!

Yes, sir.

Sir! Sir!

Sookgwihyang is all set up.

Alright.

Hey.

I am going to Samjuk temple with him.

Then, aren't you going to Changnyung?

Hur Joon will solve it.

Whenever you want to see lepers, come to Samjuk temple anytime.

How can you become a doctor, if you're afraid of the sick?

Is Dr. Yoo here?

He's out, what's going on?

- Search! - Yes, sir.

What are you doing? Move aside!

What are you guys doing?

- What do you think you're doing? - Doji!

I said what on earth are you doing?

He's not home.

Where is Dr. Yoo?

He went to Samjeoksa temple.

He said he would come down to Changnyung in a few days!

What is he doing there? He is showing disdain to my master!

Dr. Yoo is my father.

Tell me what is going on.

Hur Joon has worsened my master's wife's illness,

while nursing her.

Since Dr. Yoo is not here, let's take him instead.

- Take him! - Yes, sir!

Excuse me.

What has he done wrong?

- Ma'am! - Doji!

- Hey! - Ma'am

Hey, hey! Let me go!

- Doji! - Guys!

Doji! Doji!

Ma'am!

What are you doing? Follow him!

Me?

Is there anyone else here?

Go after him! Hurry!

Yes, ma'am.

You go to Samjuk temple and bring Dr. Yoo, now!

- Now! - Yes, ma'am!

Oh my god! Guys!

What's wrong?

It looks like your husband went to Changnyung

and has caused a big problem!

What do you mean?

People from Changnyung came to seize Dr. Yoo,

saying your son has worsened the lady's illness.

Oh no!

Mother! Mother!

Are you alright? Mother!

Are you alright? Mother!

Who is that person following us?

It looks like he's one of their students.

- Go and seize him. - Yes, sir!

- Guys! - Stop!

Guys!

Sir! Sir!

Wait, wait!

Excuse me. I'm not a doctor.

Be quiet!

Sir...

Please release Dr. Hur.

His treatment on her is not finished yet.

Once she regains strength with the decoction, she needs acupuncture.

Shut up! Don't let this girl anywhere near the main room.

Yes, sir.

Sir!

Sir!

What are you doing?

Uh...

Stop wandering around here and get out of sight!

Yes, sir.

You bastard!

Guard closely!

How is she?

I'm sorry, but...

the chances are nil.

Mother...

I'm going to get him and destroy him.

Go and bring Hur Joon now!

Yes, sir.

What... what's going on?

Open the door, now.

What happened?

Uh...

You fool!

Where have you left Hur Joon?

What happened?

The doctor who was locked up has disappeared.

What?

What were you doing?

Did you just watch him run away?

He couldn't have gone far.

Go and bring him now.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Let go.

Do you know where Hur Joon is?

Didn't you lock him up?

Don't you know he has disappeared?

You idiot!

Did he abandon the girl he came with

to run away and save himself?

That can't be!

Dr. Hur is not that kind of person.

Shut your mouth!

I can't forgive him even if he apologizes.

How can a man be such a coward?

I'm going to capture him and destroy him!

What happened?

We searched every nook and corner from Machun ferry point to

the tavern roads in Yangji. But we couldn't find a trace of him anywhere.

You guys are hopeless!

Then, go to Sanum!

There must be family.

You must seize him even if it involves destroying his family.

Yes, sir!

Oh...

Father.

Are you out of your mind?

If you punish me,

I'll accept it.

But before that,

please let me serve the decoction to her.

Because she is weak,

she can't gain strength from just acupuncture.

After regaining strength from the decoction, she will have to have acupuncture.

If I don't give her medicine now, she will never get up.

I will do what I have to do as a doctor

before I die.

Please, please allow me.

Father...

We've already heard that she has nil chance. We have no other way.

Serve the decoction.

Father!

Mother has regained consciousness.

What?

Do you know who I am?

Are you alright?

Mother.

Are you ok?

Sir.

- Honey! - Mother!

Look,

she moved her right hand.

Hey.

Will she live?

Will she live now?

She has passed the crucial moment.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh...

My master told me to give this to the doctor.

What is it?

It's new clothes for him.

He said he has prepared a new dwelling

in the detached house, so he should move there.

Ok.

Are you there?

Mrs. Hur.

Mrs. Hur, how is she doing?

She stays lying down.

OK.

Um...

These are a few bowls of grains of barley.

Stew this and give it to Joon's mother.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Mother, it's a thin gruel. Please have it and gain strength.

Was there any news from Changnyung?

No.

Ma'am, I trust Joon.

He will get here fine, so don't worry too much.

With the power of the Jinsa family, they can seize an innocent person

and kill him.

How can he be alright when Joon harmed the wife of a person,

who was once a minister?

- You can't come in like this. - Let me meet the doctor.

Dr. Yoo is not here,

so go back.

Dr. Yoo is not here, so come back later.

How many days has it been? We're going to die.

Oh my gosh.

The doctor is not here now,

so please come back later.

Come back later.

Come back later.

What's going on here?

Can't you see?

Due to Hur Joon imprudently running wild,

the hospital is in pain.

What brings you here anyway?

I've come to sell you the herbs.

Herbs? Can't you see the hospital is in ruin?

Go somewhere else.

You!

You're not even married. Watch your language!

You're driving me nuts.

- Come back later I said! - Please let me in.

- Come back later. - There is no use waiting.

What are you doing? Hurry!

What?

Drink this before the others see you. It's good for your health.

What is it?

It's good for you. Just drink it.

I know it's hot, drink it!

- Uh... - Hum!

No, I...

Sir! I have brought the doctor from Sanum.

Tell him to come in.

Go on.

Have a seat.

Are you Yoo Weetae?

This is Yoo Weetae's son.

My name is Yoo Doji.

Due to family circumstances, we sent the person

lacking medical skills. Please forgive us.

We meant for him to just nurse her

until my father came,

but I heard that Hur Joon

caused you a lot of worry.

I'll do my best to treat your wife,

so please relent towards my father.

Sir Doji has as much reputation as Dr. Yoo in Sanum.

Yoo Weetae must be one fine doctor.

If a person like Dr. Hur lacks in medical skills,

then would you or Dr. Yoo save even the dead?

Thank you for coming such a long way,

but we're fine with Dr. Hur.

Father! Father!

What's wrong?

Please get up!

Please get up.

Try to walk.

You can get up with your own strength.

You can get up. You can get up.

Try to walk now. Yes, you can walk!

A little bit more...

Yes, just a little bit more...

Hey!

Mother!

A bit more...

Try to walk.

You can't put your hands down.

You have to lift your knees higher.

Try to walk.

You have to lift your knees higher.

Yes, that's right. A bit more...

Yes.

Walk a little bit more.

Lift your face now.

Walk.

Step aside, please.

Stand up. A bit more...

Yes, get up.

Please try to walk.

Your face, lift your face a bit more.

The knees, lift your knees higher.

A bit more! You have to lift your knees higher.

A little bit more...

A little bit more...

Good.

Mother.

Doji!

When did you come?

A while ago.

Did you see that?

Dr. Hur cured Mrs. Jung-Gyung's illness.

What do you mean doctor?

Who said Hur Joon is a doctor?

How can he be a doctor?

Arrogant man!

Do you know how humiliated I was because of him?

If he worsened Mrs. Jung-Gyung's illness,

then my father and I would be dead.

Why on earth did he perform

such a thoughtless treatment

with mine and my father's life on the line?

Your father said he trusted him.

Do you also trust him?

I guess you do.

You've had feelings for him, from the beginning.

So I guess you do.

Doji.

I better get going.

Doji.

Will she be alright without anymore acupuncture?

In my opinion, she will be alright, but...

Tell me. I will do whatever you say.

I have done all I can.

The only thing left is for my teacher to see her and decide.

Thank you very much.

I'm thankful I have met you.

I can imagine how good Yoo Weetae is just by looking at your skills.

And, I like you.

The doctors that I've met in the past,

inflated even their little services and tried to show everyone up.

But you're praise-worthy, even though you're young.

I don't deserve your praise.

So, how are you living?

There is something I would like to give you.

How about if I build a house for you?

How can I repay you for saving a person's life with material things,

but I sincerely want to. So please allow me.

Mother!

Yes?

Soy-mixed water is good for my flatulence.

I feel so flatulent.

I'm living in a shabby, but not inconvenient house.

Saving a patient is not due to my skills,

but I owe it to my master's teachings.

If you want to show appreciation, please show it to my teacher.

It's praiseworthy to defer your credit,

to your superior.

But my father wants to especially show his gratitude,

so accept it, please.

I heard your wife has given me some textiles.

That's enough already.

I'm happy enough with your mother's recovery.

Yoo Weetae is one good person to

plant this spirit and character in his students.

Did Hur Joon really treat her?

Yes.

Did he cure a paralytic, who couldn't

use her arms and legs nor talk?

Yes, sir.

I knew his medical skills were excellent,

but I didn't know they were that good.

This is nice.

What fine goods these are.

Hey, sit down here and take a look at this.

These are the silks from China.

You can't get them,

no matter how much money you have unless you have the power.

They sent us a lot, so there are two more piles.

Wealthy families have different ways of spending, after all.

I've told him we're leaving tomorrow morning.

- Yes, sir. - Leaving tomorrow morning?

They were hoping you would stay for a few days more.

Look.

If you stay here for a few more days and nurse the lady,

you don't know how much more goods you might get.

So why are you in such a hurry?

I did what I came here to do. So I should go back now.

So you mean you have earned all you can?

Let me ask you a question.

The butler said that the owner suggested building a house for you

and you refused. Is that true?

Is that true?

You're crazy!

Why do you refuse a free gift?

Sir invited us to have a drink in the evening, so please go with me.

Even if you live like this,

do you think people in the world will recognize you?

Receiving appreciation for saving

a deathly-illed patient is so natural.

It's not like they're poor.

Building you a house

is nothing for people like them.

Why do you refuse?

Just take it,

and if you really don't like it, you can give it to me.

Let's just pack.

It's fortunate I didn't cause trouble for my teacher.

Every time I felt like running away,

I could rely on and be encouraged from your support.

Thank you.

I was also touched by your devotion

for the patients.

Now I think I know why Miss Dahee

came a long way in search for you.

Hey, Dr. Hur.

The banquet is ready, so let's go.

Alright.

Here, take this.

Yes, sir.

Let's drink.

- Let's drink. - Yes, sir.

- Drink it. - Yes, sir.

I would be happier if you stayed a few more days.

In several days, my teacher will come and see her,

so don't worry too much.

The reason I want to make you stay is not because of my wife.

It's to stay longer with a strong-willed person like you.

I hardly deserve your praise.

Let's drink.

So, have you thought about my suggestion?

You're stubborn.

So, what's your wish?

I don't have a big wish.

I have decided to become a doctor for my living,

so if I have an opportunity,

I would like to take the medical examination.

You mean, the medical department in the palace?

Yes.

But a medical department? You mean the odd job department?

Yes, for people like me who wish to enter the medical department,

it's like the specialized department for the noblemen.

For us to jump from our current social standing

to a higher social ranking, it's the only way.

So for people like me, it's a dream-like opportunity.

Is the timing of the general and specialized department exams the same?

Sometimes it is and sometimes it is not,

but I heard that it will be the same time next year.

Then how about taking the medical test next year?

What do you mean?

If you want, I would like to give you some help

passing the exam.

Father, do you have a way to help him?

Yes, the medical department is not an unfamiliar place for me.

The person who manages the department is called Do Jaejo,

and I heard he is in charge of it.

You mean the left minister?

Yes, he is a very close friend of mine.

I'm not recommending an unskilled person,

I'm recommending a very skilled person,

so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm thinking of writing a recommendation letter for you.

I also think taking that letter

would help you.

What are you waiting for? Say yes.

You didn't have a second thought when I said I would build you a house,

but you do for just a few words?

After this party is over, come to my room.

Sir, it's hard for me to say this,

but my dream was also to work as a doctor in the palace.

So please give a word of recommendation for me also.

I haven't seen your medical skills,

so I can't do that recklessly.

Let's drink.

You too.

If you want, I would like to give you some help

passing the exam.

Joon, I'm okay.

Don't say anything,

Being a low class woman is like this.

It's not a bad thing. It's not like it's never happened.

He was touched by my devotion and there is no reason

why I should refuse.

The only way to escape from the lowly social status

and become a nobleman is the national medical examination.

To escape the humiliation poor Dahee and mother are experiencing,

I must pass the national medical examination.

The recommendation of Sir is equivalent to passing the exam.

Sir, Dr. Hur is here.

Tell him to come in.

- Go in, please. - It's ok.

Take him safely to the ferry point.

Yes, sir.

I will never forget your gratitude.

Gratitude? No.

I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to repay you.

I better get going.

Alright.

Our son is captured and we don't know whether he will live,

and you are not going? What do you mean?

I don't need to go.

What do you mean?

Then, do you mean you don't care if Doji dies?

That won't happen.

There can't be another cold-hearted person like him.

Oh my God... Poor me.

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Sir Doji is back.

What? Where? Where?

Sir!

Doji! Doji!

What happened? Nothing bad happened?

No.

Is my father home?

Yes, he's in the attached room with Priest Samjuk.

It's Doji.

Come in.

Looking at you, the patient must have gotten better.

How can you be so cold?

Do I look fine?

Because of Hur Joon,

I was dragged along by the servants of the minister and humiliated.

He was practicing reckless treatment with our lives on the line.

I told him to do that.

Father!

Nothing went wrong, did it?

No.

He made the paralytic, who couldn't use her arms or legs,

walk and talk again.

He's gained the trust of the former deputy prime minister.

If he can cure it, there is no reason why I can't.

Then why do you trust him more than me?

Why did you send him when I should have gone?

What I trust in Hur Joon is not medical skills, but his good nature.

It's good, you're fine.

You're cold, indeed.

I know he is lacking, but why do you treat him like someone unrelated to you?

He can't read my mind.

He doesn't have the capability to consider how a father feels,

who values a person who is better than his own son.

They say the ship is arriving at the ferry point. Let's get ready.

Look at me, Joon.

I have something to say to you.

Please help me.

Please get me one of those recommendation letters.

Then, I will never forget your kindness.

Please help me.

Please, just one.

I don't think there is any use going there.

No use?

Sir treasures you so much.

He just needs to write one more.

How can he refuse that?

Look at me.

Please help me just once.

Please don't do this.

I have studied medicine for over ten years,

and I never saw the light all my life.

Don't you pity me?

He's not that easy a person to

convince to recommend someone without seeing their medical skills.

If you say one word, it will all be solved.

Please, I'm begging you.

Dr. Hur.

I still think it's unreasonable.

Unreasonable?

I better get going.

Hey! Hey, Joon!

Doctor sir! Joon! Hey!

He was one rude brat!

He was an ill-bred son. Bastard!

I'll be watching you.

It's late. So go home and come to the hospital tomorrow.

Would it be ok?

Why do you look at me?

I have no power. You should do whatever you like.

I'll tell Dr. Yoo, so do as I say.

Then I will see you tomorrow.

Alright.

Let's go.

Dahee...

Joon.

Son.

Son.

I'm back.

Son...

How... did it go?

I have cured Mrs. Jung-Gyung.

You did it. You did it.

Mother.

I'm so proud of you.

Joon.

Son.

I'm proud of you.

Mother.

Son.

Mother.
