Original subtitles

What's the issue?

Let me into the town.

I'm a doctor, Hur Joon.

Are you really Hur Joon?

I really am.

Go in.

Episode 28

Father!

Father!

My father...

Mother, wake up... Open your eyes.

Father!

Mother!

Weetae!

You can't do it anymore.

I'll take care of this. You go back.

No, thank you.

If you keep doing this, you will die.

I'm dying anyway. So, never mind me.

Master.

I didn't want you to come here. Didn't you hear?

I heard it from Yejin, but...

Go back.

Samjuk and I can take care of all of them. So, go back.

They said you have many serious patients.

Let me help, you and the priest, with taking care of the patients.

I said go back!

Master.

Murrain is dangerously infectious.

Doctors can't avoid that!

- Don't hesitate. Just go back. - I can't.

I can't leave my master and the patients behind.

You taught me not to be afraid of disease.

You taught me a doctor's duty is taking care of patients.

How can you tell me to leave the patients behind

and go away?

Even if I should die here, I can't leave.

Taking the risk of facing death is not all you can do.

There are a lot of other patients waiting for you out there.

Samjuk and I can handle these patients. Go back.

- Master! - I said go back!

- I can't go! - How dare you!

What's going on?

You've much more work to do. You have to live.

Go back!

He didn't mean it. He doesn't want you to die.

You must understand your master.

He's worried about the worst case.

He wants you to take care of the rest when he's dead.

Mother... Mother...

Mother...

Mother... Mother...

Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Lady, wake up!

Lady! Lady! Wake up!

- Doctor! - Weetae!

What's wrong? Wake up! Weetae!

Master! Master...

What's wrong with him?

Priest.

He overworked himself.

Recently, he's not looked well.

Does he have any other disease?

Master.

Well...

Come to yourself?

Why didn't you leave?

Forgive me.

I don't want to disobey you, but I can't go.

Let me be with you to take care of the patients.

You're so weak and

just two of you can't handle all of the patients here.

I know

you're worried about me, but ...

What else will I be able to do

if I leave the patients that are in front of me?

If you tell me to leave here,

that means you're telling me to give up being a doctor.

Master.

Take care of the patients here.

Yes, master.

Even the great Yoo Weetae

lost to his strong will.

I value him because of his heart.

Take this.

When are you going to inform him?

He admires and respects you so much.

He'll be shocked when he finds out later.

He'll know when I die. He doesn�t have to know earlier.

What're you doing?

I'm making a decoction for the patients in the ward.

That is our job.

Give me that.

No, thank you.

By the way, take this.

Put this powder in your nostril and sneeze.

What's this?

Orpiment powder.

If you put this powder in your nostril and sneeze,

the murrain can't come into your body.

Take this.

What about you?

I have enough.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- Well, go back to your business. - Okay.

Put that in your nostril frequently, it's good for you.

Yes.

I'm sorry. This is my decoction.

This will keep me from the murrain.

I'll take this and I'll live your live, too.

Ohgun!

You look good enough already.

You have no reason to take decoction.

Even if I look good enough, my inside's bad.

What brings you here?

Where's Joon?

He went to Doosi village.

Doosi village? Where the murrain thrives?

Murrain?

Who are you?

Don't you know the murrain thrives in Doosi village?

Go back.

We know already.

We're not going to enter the town. Don't worry.

What is this disgusting smell?

We're burning dead bodies.

Dead bodies?

Three or four people die every day.

We can't get rid of the smell of burning the dead bodies.

- Yangtae, let's go. - Ilsuh.

I think we're here to meet Joon.

They're burning the dead bodies.

If someone fat like you die of murrain,

his body will burn for several days like Dongtak.

- Oh, it's gross! - Do I smell bad?

Llsuh, wait for me.

He went there, as I guessed.

How's Doosi village?

When I got to the entrance of the town,

they said 3 or 4 people die every day.

The smell of the burning dead bodies...

Don't worry too much. He's a doctor.

And he's a man, too.

No one can guarantee he's not going to be infected.

I thought you went to Mt. Jiri. You came back so soon.

The town is in a panic because of the murrain. How can I hunt?

What's the smell?

Did the smell soaked into my body?

Did you burn a dog?

I wanted to have some dog meat with soybean paste.

Why didn't you bring the meat?

Don't even think about it.

It's not a smell of a dog. It's a smell of men.

Men?

When I got to Doosi village, they were burning the dead bodies.

It smelled everywhere.

Are you crazy? Why did you go there?

I didn't get into the town. Don't worry about it.

Are you carrying the amulet I gave to you?

Let me see.

Here, here it is.

While I unfasten the belt, we can...

Don't! That amulet will become ineffective.

I'm dying.

- I'm dying. - Honey.

Honey, what's wrong?

- I'm cold. - Cold?

- Yes, I'm cold. - Really? Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

- Wait! Wait for me! - I'm dying.

Honey! Darling!

Hurry! Quick!

There! Hurry!

Save my husband. It seems he's going to die.

- What's the matter? - Doctor!

Where is the doctor?

Dr. Yoo and Dr. Hur ... They both went to Doosi village.

Yejin, where's Yejin?

She's not here, either.

My husband's going to die!

- Look at me! - What?

I'm a doctor, too.

What're you doing? Take him to the ward.

Yes.

No, no.

- I'm dying. - Honey.

- Over there. - I'm dying.

- I'm dying. I'm cold. - Let me see.

I'm cold.

- We can talk. - Okay.

What are his symptoms?

He was fine last night. He became sick in the morning.

Nothing was wrong last night?

We went to the entrance of Doosi village yesterday.

Doosi village?

What's wrong with him?

I'm cold.

- It seems he's infected. - What?

We need to segregate him right now.

And you prepare for the cremation, just in case.

- Ilsuh! - Honey!

What should he do?

- Honey... - What's going on?

Yejin, save my husband.

He's got murrain, like a bolt from the blue sky.

I'm dying.

It's not murrain. Don't worry about it.

If it was murrain, he'd have a fever and red blotches.

His symptoms are only a fever and coldness.

Hanjeung/ Disease caused by coldness

Decoction and some rest will make him better.

Thank you.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

And a quack doctor is a dangerous thing, too.

I said, 'it seems'. I didn't say it's murrain.

Above all, I can heal the coldness.

Are you going to harm someone again?

I've been with the doctors, for more than ten years.

Cut the useless words. Just take him out.

Honey, darling...

Undress him.

What?

He's shivering with coldness. How can you can say

undress him?

What're you doing? Undress him!

Yes...

He's going to die. What if he dies?

- Why are you undressing him? - What're you doing?

- Ilsuh! - Honey!

Honey! Wake up!

You'll know if I'm a quack doctor or not.

- Haven't you received any news yet? - No, magistrate.

I should know what's going on, for me

to inform the governor.

Send someone in.

But nobody's going to ...

Then you get in there!

Magistrate, Dr. Yoo's coming.

How's the situation?

The murrain in Doosi village calmed down.

Unless it spreads into another town, you don't have to worry.

Thank you, Dr. Yoo.

Dr. Jang, Dr. Jang.

What's the matter?

Today our ranks and positions

will be decided today.

This afternoon, vice manager of the Royal Hospital

will come to announce it.

Our rank will be the last anyway.

What matters is the type of position we get.

Our ranks will not be the same.

What're you talking about?

Based upon the results of our studies,

our ranks will be differentiated.

In the same way, from the Palace,

which guarantees the way to becoming a royal doctor,

to the Public Hospital, which is like hell to us.

It'll be determined based on the results of our studies.

Then since you passed the exam with top honors,

you'll be a palace doctor with the highest rank among us.

Who knows? We'll see. Let's go.

I gained the confidence of the judge during the training time,

but what is important is Yang Yesu's decision.

If he still has bad feelings against my father,

caused by the nine-needle play,

I will end up at the Public Hospital.

Instead of being a Public Hospital doctor, I'd rather quit.

I'd rather open a hospital outside the Palace

than deal with the stupid patients.

There...

I appreciate your efforts

to learn Palace etiquette and Court speech.

I'll announce your ranks and positions,

based on the results of your studies.

I hope you'll fulfill your job with a sincere heart.

As the royal doctor said, you are not

private doctors anymore.

You should take care of the King,

as well as, all the people who visit the Public Hospital.

Your responsibility's are so great.

Don't forget you're still public doctors

and servants of the king.

Yes, sir.

- Doctor, announce it. - Okay.

Han Dongjoon, Park Myungsoo,

Kim Myungsung,

Lee lmsae,

Yoo Doji,

Lee Won,

Kwon Chulree.

Open it and check your rank and position.

Mother.

What's the matter?

Mother, I...

I'm a palace doctor, who takes care of the prince.

And I was also commended for public service.

Public service?

My rank's two steps higher

than the other trainees.

Doji...

How great... You did a great job.

You made my dream come true.

Since we broke off relations with your father,

I've been very anxious.

Now I'm relieved.

Mother.

Your father was wrong.

He used to say, 'you still have long way to go.'

But you're a genius. You're excellent.

- Ma'am, it's Hansang. - Come in.

Thank you for your effort.

Did you inform the doctor of Doji's marriage?

As a matter of fact,

I couldn't even get into Sanum.

What're you talking about?

The murrain was thriving in Doosi village.

And the officers were blocking all roads to Sanum.

Murrain?

I waited in the tavern, hoping the murrain would calm down.

But I couldn't see the end of it. So I came back.

If that's so, there's nothing we can do.

We did what we could do.

Let's have a wedding ceremony, as soon as possible.

Did you hand the letter to Yejin?

When I got to Samjuk Temple,

she had left for Sanum.

So you couldn't?

I couldn't get into Sanum, so...

Here's the letter.

Yejin, I wanted to let you know my heart for the last time.

But it didn't even get to you.

It seems to be our destiny.

Dr. Yoo, congratulations.

It's all due to your kind consideration.

I didn't do anything.

The Royal Physician must've thought you were good enough.

By the way, have you thought about the marriage?

I'm supposed to inform them in a few days.

If you arrange the marriage,

I'll marry her. Just give me a couple of days.

Okay. Once you've made up your mind, let me know immediately.

If you're married to the daughter of Kwon Hyuksoo,

it�ll be like whipping the galloping horse.

Master, it's Joon.

What's the matter?

I brought the documents on the disease.

But it seems he's sleeping.

I'll get it for him.

These are pills for serious pain.

Shin Sun Tal Myung Dan/ Pills for serious pain

As far as I know,

there is no such serious patient in the ward.

For whom are these pills?

Mix orpiment, borax, date and sulfur.

Make pills out of them.

Weetae!

Dr. Hur.

Master...

Have a seat.

Come to me and examine my pulse.

Master.

Examine my pulse.

Touch the side of the pit of my stomach.

Master...

Don't be so surprised.

What you feel is just as you see. It's gastric cancer.

It's too late.

Don't be surprised. Don't be sad.

Everyone dies. It's destiny. No one can avoid it.

My time is coming. It's my destiny.

So don't be disappointed or shaken.

Leave me.

Master...

Incurable diseases are many more than curable ones.

And you know that.

That's not true. They're only incurable

when they're first found.

Doctors will discover eventually how to cure it.

Where there is a disease,

there must be the way to cure it.

I'll cure your disease.

I'll cure your disease.

It's useless.

Gastric cancer is incurable.

I can't let you go like this.

I can't let you go.

I can't let you go like this.

There's only one thing you can do for me.

Accept my death. I'm going to die, no matter what.

What you are doing now is a burden to me.

What is gastric cancer?

Banwee/ Gastric cancer

Dead flesh makes a lump in the pit of the stomach

and it gets stiff. It's incurable.

Then Dr. Yoo's going to die?

How come such a great doctor

couldn't control his own disease?

What should he do? What should we do?

Gastric cancer is known as an incurable disease,

but I can't let him go like this.

I'm going to read and study medical books and medicines.

I won't be able to come home every day.

Don't worry about us. Just find the way to cure the disease.

How's Joon?

He hasn't come out of the library for two days.

Do you have any memory of your father?

I only have a dim memory.

He was very upright.

And he was very kind to the patients.

Why did I become a doctor?

It's because of him.

He was traveling around with a needle case.

His home was where the patients were.

He was a real doctor, who sympathize with the patients.

How can I meet him? I'm worried about it.

I have nothing to wish for or regret in my life.

But I'm worried about you.

Master...

If I'm gone,

you'll be alone.

Don't worry about me.

I'll lead a life taking care of the patients.

You should find somebody to lean on now.

Samjuk said,

you're in love with Joon.

If he was alone, I'd arrange the marriage.

But he's already got a

righteous and smart wife. What can we do?

Do me a favor for the last time.

Go and find Doji.

Although he's foolhardy,

he's been thinking of you as someone special since childhood.

He truly loves you.

You can lean on him for the rest of your life.

I broke off relations with my stupid son,

but I can't help thinking about him.

He's truly my blood.

Make him a righteous man.

Help him to be a righteous man.

Master...

This is my last wish.

Please, do not reject it.

The feeling of love is hard to control.

Priest.

But, sometimes, time generates feeling of love.

Do as Weetae said.

That'll be good for you.

Priest! Yejin!

We can heal the disease.

New Zealand spinach is good for the stomach cancer.

And houseleek growing on the old tiled roof

is effective, too.

And if you eat Phellinus linteus for a long time,

you can control the gastric cancer.

And wood vinegar, byproduct from charcoal production,

is also good for the stomach cancer. And loquat and

the root of Panax notoginsengs are good for its blood vomiting.

I know. But it's too late.

I can't give up.

I'm going to go and find the medicine tomorrow.

He truly loves you.

You can lean on him for the rest of your life.

This is my last wish, Please, do not reject it,

I'm going to drop by the charcoal burner's shed

and ask for the wood vinegar generated from the gas.

And I'm going to the sand beach in the south

to get loquat and New Zealand spinach.

You grub the root of Panax notoginsengs.

Okay, don't worry about us.

Then, in ten days,

let's meet at the herb hut in Byuksoryung.

- Okay, let's go. - Okay.

Master, it's Yejin.

Come in.

I'll obey you.

But until the day

you pass away, let me be with you.

You don't have to do that.

If you've made up your mind, leave now.

Be with someone to lean on, as soon as possible.

So, that I can go without worrying.

Master...

Please, forgive me

for my writing to you, instead of bidding you farewell.

Dr. Hur, I'm letting you take care of our master.

Half of the healing in the medical art is a doctor's sincere heart.

I believe your heart will reach the heavens.

And, that our master will be saved,

I was happy since I could be with someone I respect.

That was the happiest time of my life.

The memories of you, the priceless memories ...

I won't forget them.

I'll keep them in my mind through all eternity,
