Be careful!

Your arrogance will threaten your life one day.

There is a nurse called Yejin in the residence area.

Deliver this message to that nurse.

High treason criminal, Lee Jungmyung, surrender!

Episode 41

It's from the Chief of Police of Police.

I decided to write to you, after hesitating for many days.

But it's so difficult to fill up the piece of paper in front of me.

I'm embarrassed to be called a man.

I regret telling you about my feelings for you.

Although I couldn't deny my feelings from the first moment I met you,

even after saying it in my own mind for a thousand times...

I shouldn't have told you.

Then, I won't, painfully, have to see you

avoiding me.

I won't be so anxious at not having you by my side.

I should have kept my longings

for you in my mind, with a desire to protect you...

Just watching over you from a distance.

My relationship with you started coincidentally,

but I have a feeling it will end with lonely waiting.

I try to tell myself not to expect anything, but...

I can't help having a desire to see you right now.

I will wait for you at Yanghwa ferry point at 4 pm.

You may call me a fool, but I still want to see you.

Seize him.

Sir, what happened?

I committed treason.

Sir...

It's treason not to follow the group currently coveting power.

Let's go.

I said, sleep well at night!

I will wait for you at Yanghwa ferry point at 4 pm,

You may call me a fool, but I still want to see you,

Is anything wrong?

You don't look so well.

I think so, too. Go and rest if you don't feel well.

No, I'm fine.

Didn't you know

that Yejin has had feelings for you

for a long time?

You've lived so peacefully, without any worries.

It's a cruel thing to do.

You're a bad man, you know.

No...

You're a good man.

That's why I'm so miserable.

If you were a bad man, I could hate you as much as I wanted.

But I can't, so it's painful.

Did you hear?

A group of men were taken to the hearing department for

conspiracy and are being reprimanded.

After their investigation, many people will have to be serve up poison.

Think about who to send.

Yes, ma'am.

What is it?

I would like to go out for a bit. Please allow me.

Are you going to see the Chief of Police who recommended you here?

Yes.

How is he related to you?

He helped me when I was in a difficult situation.

In the past, there have been nurses, who had inappropriate

relationships with men and died young from the scandals.

You'd take care, too.

Yes, ma'am.

You may go.

I can't read her mind.

That type of person, with her deep eyes, will have

many stories and a sad fate...

Sir, the criminal has fainted.

Wake him.

Yes, sir.

Do you know what this is?

I don't know.

This is the letter the dead Mr. Ku was going to send you.

This letter has details of you forming a gang with Sohn Minho

and Kim Kwangryool to pursue treason.

Will you deny it even with the evidence in front of you?

Why do you have a letter that is sent to me?

They say the dead cannot talk...

Since we can't ask whether Mr. Ku actually wrote that,

isn't it possible for you to write whatever you want?

Shut up!

Are you being contemptible at a felony trial?

After Ku Taehoon died suddenly from his chronic disease,

you falsely accused Yoon Jungho, who was secretly investigating

him, and tried to hide your part in the conspiracy, didn't you?

Sir.

Stop disgracing the King and the Court, with your farfetched

accusations and just kill me.

What?! You will not repent, will you?!

I've not committed a sin for which I need to repent.

If I've committed a sin, it was only that I had no interest in power.

If I've committed a sin, it was only that I didn't follow any cliche.

If there is a sin,

it would be that I neglected my duty as General Manager

of the Police Bureau, even though I knew there were people

who were disgracing the King's dignity.

Sir!

Don't hide back there, and come up front!

Isn't this your plot?

Come and reprimand me yourself!

Attention!

Twist his legs harder before he speaks any more nonsense.

Yes, sir.

Damn it!

They make us work all day just because we're the public hospital's doctors.

Now they want us to look after all the conspiracy criminals!

If you feel it's unfair, just be more successful.

He can't, even if he wanted to, because of his mouth.

Did I say something wrong?

What's going on?

I received a request to send a doctor.

I think they want us to look after the condition of the criminals.

Since they are accused of high treason, they must be in bad shape.

They want us to treat them, so they don't die.

I'm off then.

Wait...

I will go to the examination dept.

You?

If you want to go, I'm happy.

The criminals should be in an ugly state.

I will go.

Hur Joon...

I'd better ask the chief and go flower viewing or something.

There are forsythia and azalea everywhere in the hill behind

the public hospital. There is no need to go far.

I feel like I need to go somewhere.

Sehee and Onji must be having fun in the Court...

Look at us stuck here.

You don't look well after going out.

Is anything wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Ladies!

Where have you been and not doing needle work?

Did you hear?

The criminals charged with treason have been brought to the examination department

and are being tortured and the smell of their skin burning is everywhere.

- They're screaming all day... - Stop it.

Why can't you figure out what to say and what not to say?

Treason... Someone must be facing death, then.

Then do we need to deliver the poison again?

Probably.

- What does that mean? - Didn't you know?

Bringing the poison to the condemned criminals is our responsibility.

That's what we have to do.

I can't do that anymore.

After I see people die from taking poison and spitting blood,

the dead faces appear in my dream for many days.

I followed them without knowing what was going on the other day.

I was so frightened to see them...

These are the criminals that will drink poison, under the King's order.

Take care of them so they don't die before then.

Yes, sir.

Sir...

Sir...

I'm troubling you again.

I'm being accused of treason...

Even my life is not mine, so please look after it.

I must be alive until the moment I die.

Sir...

I was full of anger thinking it's unfair to die.

But, after setting my mind to die... I am at peace.

But one disappointing thing is that...

after carelessly telling Yejin about my feeling towards her,

I'm leaving so suddenly.

I was a fool...

She's such a precious person. Just looking at her...

and I gave her a hard time.

Don't tell Yejin about my situation.

I will remember our short relationship, even after I die.

I think I know why she likes and respects you.

Girls...

Poison will be assigned to the conspiracy criminals today.

Sohyun and Yejin should go.

We're following the King's orders, so don't make any mistakes.

Don't tell Yejin about my situation...

Serve the poison!

What are you doing? Serve it!

Excuse me!

Lee Jungmyung, who committed treason, take this poison!

Father... Please forgive me.

I tried to follow your teachings and live a scholarLY life.

but I'm dying without realizing my aspirations.

I'm not ashamed.

But I'm receiving the King's royal order, even while virtuous.

Please... Please forgive my undutifulness.

Sorry,

Sorry I can't keep my promise that I will protect you.

Once, I wanted to make you look at me,

But not now...

I wish I was just another person, who went past you, without any feelings.

I hope you don't cry because of me...

I hope you won't feel pain due to my sudden death...

I just wish our relationship was nothing.

Sehee!

What happened?

Doctor Yoo is on duty tonight.

Sir.

Who is it?

What are you doing here?

Sir... I...

I came to repay your kindness for treating my burn.

I brought some drink and snacks. Please take them.

What on earth are you doing?

How can a doctor on night duty have a drink?

Sir, but...

Leave now!

Sir...

From the first moment I saw you,

I had feelings for you in my heart.

Please accept my feelings.

Excuse me.

Will you say you don't know me?

It's dark...

- Is everything fine in the Court? - Yes.

Sir...

You've come here? Oh, dear...

Sir.

What are you doing here?

I brought the log of all the herbs and decoctions going in and out today.

Sir, there are more pretty girls among the nurses than the gisaengs, right?

But... I heard there were many officers

who had a casual thing with them and regretted it seriously.

They say a trainer of the public hospital got a heavy punishment for

harassing a nurse in the time of the former King.

And there was one officer on night duty, who called

a nurse, to the office and did nasty things.

He got caught and was taken to the police, where he was hit severely.

He was stripped and kicked out right away...

What are you talking about?

I was just worried about you...

You'd better watch your mouth!

Leave!

What happened?

It wasn't easy.

If he was so easy, I wouldn't be as greedy.

Watch, because I will do it.

So you have something to say to me?

Yes... Uh...

Come on. Tell her now.

Ma'am, I...

Say it!

Yangtae is getting married.

Getting married?

Good for you.

Who are you marrying?

It's Yoowol, working in Doctor Yoo's house.

He had a thing with her from when we were in Sanum and

he continued to see her after coming to Seoul.

Whenever they had time, they've been secretly seeing each other.

Really?

I thought he was a clumsy oaf, but I guess not.

But you need to help me.

What brings you here?

I've come to see Mrs. Yoo.

Ma'am, Doctor Hur's mother is here.

What is she here for? Let her in.

Have you been well?

Sit down.

What's going on?

I should have visited you earlier. Sorry, I'm late in coming here.

Why should I receive your greetings?

I am a person who thinks our relationship is evil destiny.

Get married? There are a lot of guys out there.

I can't allow it.

It seems that both of them have already talked about it. Please allow them.

What's the use of talking to each other?

As you can see, my daughter-in-law is pregnant.

There are many things she needs help with.

How can they think about getting married at this time?

I will see after she gives birth.

According to Ms. Hadong,

you're still doing odd jobs in the market?

I know his salary is low, you wouldn't be able to eat without part-time work.

If your financial situation is so bad,

come and help my daughter-in-law with post-partum care.

I will pay you well.

What are you doing here? Get out.

Get out now. Tidy up here too.

You wipe the bottom of your nose. It's too dirty.

What are you doing? We're going to be late.

Yes, sir.

Girls! Be quiet.

Here he comes. Line up.

It's time for all the Medical Association's assembly, so come to the Court.

We will meet the new Deputy Minister.

So, pay extra attention to your behavior.

Who will stay at the public hospital while the assembly is on?

Hur will stay.

Okay, let's go!

This is Mr. Sung Inchul, the new Deputy Minister of Court Medicine.

Everyone, show your respect.

Looking after the welfare of the King and the Royal family

- It's the General from Changnyung... - is looking after the welfare of the public.

There's no use telling you how important your role

is, you already know.

Please continue to work hard to fulfill your duties.

These are the doctors in charge of the public hospital.

My name is Kim Eung-taek.

My name is Song Hak-gyu.

This is the doctor of Court medicine.

My name is Jeong Jak.

This man is in charge of looking after Gongbin queen and the prince's health.

My name is Yoo Doji.

I've seen you somewhere...

When your wife was sick in Changnyung...

Yes, you're the son of Yoo Weetae, the famous doctor in Sanum.

I wrote a recommendation letter to work in the royal hospital...

His name was...

Sir, sir!

What is it?

Someone is ill at the queen's residence.

Doctor Yoo and Jung follow me.

Yes, sir.

Illness so suddenly?

Did the King or Queen show any signs?

No, they didn't.

I heard the Queen is unwell.

It's not the Queen, but one of her brothers.

It's the prince's uncle.

So the King commanded us to look after him with care.

Where is he?

- Sit down. - Yes, Your Highness.

A sleeping child sweats a lot because she can't control the heat,

so you don't need to worry.

Wipe it often and give her a thick

blanket, so she doesn't catch cold.

Thank you.

If you're concerned about it, boil Doonglae and give it to her before meals.

Yes, Doctor.

Doctor.

The Royal Physician is here.

He is the best doctor in Korea. So take off the towel and sit near him.

No!

Everyone I meet pushes in needles and gives me medicine.

How can I trust him?

If you can't cure it, leave now!

I'm the Royal Physician.

Although it's a difficult illness, there's been no illness I couldn't cure.

So please show it to me.

What are you doing? Come on!

- You take a look. - Yes, sir.

How is it?

It's Bell's Palsey.

Bell's Palsey/ Illness which causes eyes and mouth to go out of place

What is it?

Why do you get such illness?

It's caused by paralysis penetrating blood vessels.

Paralysis?

How long have you have it?

It's been 10 days since he began complaining that

it was difficult to move his chin, and had sore eyes.

Tell him in detail.

It's been about 15 days. I went out and worked the farm during the day.

Then took a nap on the rock, and I became like this.

Please help him. Why is he like this?

It's an illness called Bell's Palsey.

The cause originates from paralysis. but he has a stomach disorder.

We can move our arms and legs freely when

our 5 viscera and 6 entrails are healthy.

But when we sweat from the spicy food or from exerting strength

without preparation and then be expose to cold wind,

paralysis hits the overworked area.

While you were sleeping on the rock, the coldness of the rock

penetrated your body. It's the same principle.

Both damp wind, cold energy and humid air can harm our body

and energy. Then, paralysis penetrates the weak points.

Drinking alcohol to remove the coldness can make you warm temporarily,

but when you're sober again, the coldness worsens.

It was a mistake trying to treat the chill in the mountain.

Can he get better?

I will do my best.

When will his face return to normal?

When will he be cured?

If you do as I say, you'll be back to normal, after 3 days.

Really?

Will my face be back after 3 days?

Why can't you say? You said you can heal it.

Making no comment, does it mean you're not confident?

He will show progress after 7 days.

You mean his face will be back after 7 days?

In my opinion, yes.

7 days, there is no reason why we can't wait.

I will not forget your work, so please treat him well.

Yes, Your Highness.

Why 7 days? I think 5 days would be enough.

From reading his pulse, I thought so. too.

Sir, when there is no illness in the palace, we don't exist.

And, we take responsibility only when someone in royal family is unwell.

No matter how great is the work we do, we can�t equal the ranks of the literary

and military. Yet, we're heavily held accountable for our actions.

I thought at a time like this, when the high-ranked people of

the royal family are watching, it's best to show the existence of Court doctors.

If I say 7 days and he gets better in 5 days,

your and my medical skills will seem superior.

Bell's Palsey can be treated easily, so please trust me.

I've been the Royal Physician since the former King,

but I've never seen a person like you. You're a scary person.

Sir, I'm...

I'm not saying it to scold you, so no need to make excuses.

I will let you handle the treatment, so please do your best.

Sir.

The King is here!

Your Highness...

What happened?

The Court doctor says it's a sickness called Bell's Palsey.

And my brother will recover in 7 days.

Is that so?

Yes, Your Highness.

Gongbin queen is very fond of him, so please take extra care of him.

I will do my best.

Let's go in.

You're now in charge of not only the queen and princes,

but also the King's brother-in-law.

So it seems that your relationship with Jinsook palace is something special.

And, just who is this patient?!

It's Gongbin queen's brother, loved by the King.

So if you treat him, then it seems not far from you being

in charge of the King's welfare with the support of Gongbin queen.

Someone might hear.

Go to the decoction room and prepare Chung Dam Soon Gi Tang.

Chung Dam Soon Gi Tang/ Decoction for Bell's Palsey

Yes, sir.

We should have given them advance notice first.

In order to see how a public hospital is actually operating, they should not be notified.

Sir, sir, sir...

What is going on?

The Deputy Minister has come to the public hospital.

What?

Hello, sir.

Isn't it natural that I make a tour, since I'm in charge of all the medical divisions?

But it seems that the number of doctors are not enough, compared

to the number of patients. What are you doing?

There are many odd jobs in the public hospital.

Do you get paid just to handle some odd jobs?

Couldn�t you be more modest?

Ouch!

What's this noise?

You are...

What are you doing?

It's the Deputy Minister. Show your respect.

Doctor Hur.

Sir.

It's you.

Have you been well?

Yes, yes.

If I had known you had become a doctor, I would have come right away.

What's wrong with him?

He has Bell's Palsey. I'm looking after him.

When did he come for treatment?

It's been 2 days.

When will he be cured?

He should be back to normal after 1 more day.

- Then, 3 days? - Yes.

Yes, Your Highness! He would be back to normal after 7 days.

Endure one more day.

One day?

Then is it going to be 3 days earlier than what you promised?

It's better if he makes fast progress, isn't it?

The King and you are both very worried.

Thank you.

The King is here.

The patient's face is back to its normal place.

Is that right?

He promised 7 days at first,

but the Royal Physician and Dr. Yoo's skills are so excellent.

Gongbing queen asked me to

notify you of the good news, so I came here running.

What good news!

Why are you putting in needles on the opposite side?

Stop moving your mouth because the acupoint will move.

Will you not even let me talk?

Since you said 3 days, there should be progress today.

Is it still the same?

Just stay still.

You just keep sticking in needles.

Am I really going to be cured by today?

It will be difficult!

Difficult? You said 3 days in the beginning.

How can you be so irresponsible?
