Episode 64 - Final Episode -

Listen carefully.

You can't get in touch with anyone from outside

unless we give permission.

You can't go to any towns

in neighborhood and if you voluntarily leave the place of exile

you will be punished severely.

Repent of your sins,

take care in everything you do and act in good manner.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

Come often and check his movement.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

I know you used to be royal physician in Seoul.

Please save my mother.

She's been lying down for a month

and we couldn't give her any medicine because we're poor.

Please consider our situation.

I'm a criminal who is on exile. I can't treat patients.

Doctor!

Please go back.

Doctor!

Please check her just once.

Please save my mother.

If my mother dies without getting treatment from a doctor,

the feeling of grudge will last forever.

Please, please save her, doctor.

Can you get leek root and castor oil?

Yes, we can get that.

Then listen to what I say carefully and do as I say.

Yes, doctor.

She has an illness called Sang Han.

Sang Han: A kind of illness giving off heat due to climate factors

It's caused by chill in one's body.

Fortunately Sang Han in summer is not a life-threatening disease

if treated promptly.

First, take her home

and put leek root in hot rice soup and let her eat it.

Then she must sweat until all of her body is wet.

But if she sweats for too long, then energy in her will weaken

so it must not be longer than 1 hour.

- I got that. - I got it, I got it.

Mother...

Royal physician is here.

Let him in.

Sit down.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Do you know how Mr. Hur June's family is doing?

I heard he has mother, wife and a son who works for the government.

His old mother got sick after Mr. Hur left to the place of exile

and his son, Hur Gyum, is a governor in Jin Chun.

Got Sick? Is she in serious condition?

I'm not sure on that.

Then you go there yourself and look after his mother.

Your Majesty.

I'm quite disappointed that I had to send him away.

I want to call him back right away

but other officials feel too strongly about authority of royal family

and the principle of the Court. They strongly oppose it so I can't do.

Like you look after me, take high quality herbs

and look after his mother with sincere mind.

Your Majesty, I will follow your order.

I will take it.

How is she?

She was weak already

and with sir's incident, I think she got a severe shock.

I will go out.

Please be quiet.

What are you doing here?

The royal physician is here and looking after Mrs. Hur.

Royal physician? Then Mr. Doji?

The King sent him.

He sent him on exile, and now he sent royal physician?

It's like making him sick and then giving him medicine.

Please! You're being disrespectful.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

I heard she is very ill so we brought some decoction.

OK, good.

Anyway, any news on June?

How can I know anything about a person who is on exile?

I don't know either.

By the way, I told his wife June would be doing well

so don't say anything to her.

- You heard that, right? - What?

Watch what you say!

Aw, it's salty! OK.

Come here, quiet.

What are you doing?

Are you awake?

What are you doing?

I did as you told me

and my mother got better very soon, .

As a human being, how can I ignore your kindness?

Doctor.

Please don't do this.

Thank you.

Breakfast is ready.

- Put it down. - OK.

Please go ahead.

If the government office finds out about this, you'll be in trouble.

Don't worry about us, and please have it.

I will die just once, not twice, right?

It's not much, but please go ahead.

By the way, was there anyone who visited you other than us?

There mustn�t have.

What do you mean?

Actually, my stupid wife

told everyone about it.

What is going on?

Please go back. You can't do this.

Doctor, please treat our sickness.

We won't start a rumor so please check us.

Just once, please.

What are you doing?

Sir.

Don't you understand me?

I understand, but if the magistrate finds out about this

we will die.

We shut our mouth and you shut your mouth.

How can he find out?

Your wife has been sick for 2 years

after she gave birth, right?

You're right but...

That doctor there is a person sent by God

to save poor people like us.

So just do as I say.

Sir!

If diarrhea lasts long and won't stop, eating acorn will do.

Peel off its skin, fry it, powder it and mix with water.

Let him drink it 3 times after the meal.

Yes, sir.

The 8 Meridian Pulses are assigned to acupoints.

CV and GV are assigned to acupoint.

CV, GV/ One of the 8 pulses and CV controls Yin energy

So Meridian pulses should be categorized into 14 types

including CV and GV.

And GV controls Yang energy

14 pulses? That can't be right.

Even the lame doctors all know that there are 12 kinds

of pulse points for energy flowing pathways in human's body.

Since CV and GV are included in the 8 Meridian pulses,

it's different from 12 pulses.

Your assertion is hard to agree.

But the royal physician was reviewing about including

CV and GV with 12 pulses.

Royal physician?

When did he say it?

Sir Hur June who was in charge of compilation work said so.

What will you do, sir?

Sir, I think you need to go out.

What's going on?

We have a problem because we can't divide which one to dry

Pok Gun/ drying in the sun Eum Gun/ drying in the shade

in the sun and in the shade.

Is there a reason to separate it

when we're just drying it?

So we'd like to study the difference in its effect.

But you changed it. What do you think you're doing?

Was it from sir Hur June?

Yes, sir.

- That can't happen. - Sir.

How can we let someone on exile be in charge of that work?

Sir Hur June has been in charge of this work for more than 10 years.

But because it's not in his lead anymore, progress is difficult.

Then stop the work.

Sir!

Hur June is not a doctor now, but a criminal.

I can't let him do any work for the Court.

You either finish the work with you in charge

or stop the work.

How are you going to let sir Hur June take charge?

I'm going to send medical books

and study materials to where he is.

Sir! If you get in touch with him who is on exile,

it could cause problem.

If you get caught, you'll be charged for secretly

communicating with criminal

and he may be in trouble too.

This book was begun with your life on it.

So he must finish it himself.

Since our effort is included, it must be properly made.

To do that, we need help of Mr. Hur.

This will have to be proceeded in secret so stay quiet.

- Is that true? - Yes.

I was ordered to leave with luggage and other doctors

after an hour.

If there is anything to send to him, give it to me.

OK.

How did it go?

The police are on guard so I couldn't go in.

Oh no.

But something is strange.

Patients were going in and out of his house.

It seemed he was seeing patients.

I haven't seen you before.

I don't think you're from this town. Where are you from?

What?

I heard the rumor and came from...

What's going on?

I don't think he's from our town but I can't understand him at all.

I think he's sick let him in.

Go in.

When you start having phlegm from cold, boil bellflower and

give her to drink 3 times a day after the meal.

The reason she feels dizzy and feels like vomiting

is because she got heatstroke.

Make rice and bean soup and expose it to night dew.

Then give her 3 times a day or

if that can't be done, make juice with root of arrowroot and

drink in empty stomach.

Yes, sir.

- You must do as he tells you. - Yes, sir.

Next!

What's wrong?

Find out how many patients are remaining outside.

Yes, sir.

God, what are you doing here?

Sir!

There he comes!

Sir! Sir.

Sir...

Sir!

Sir!

- Have you been well? - Yes.

Sir.

Royal physician said you need to finish the compilation work.

And other doctors all think so.

Everyone can get into trouble because of me.

We're prepared.

This is from your wife.

How are my mother and wife doing?

They're well.

The King sent royal physician and

told him look after your mother.

The royal physician says the King is in great grief

after sending you here.

Although you were sent here due to other officials' oppositions,

since the King thinks a lot about you

I think you will be released from here soon.

Why humans� head are round and why humans� feet have edges

is because we learn from the Sky

which is round and earth which has edges,

Like there are 4 seasons in the sky, humans have 4 limbs,

Like there are 5 elements in the sky, humans have 5 viscera,

Since there are 6 extreme points in the sky, humans have 6 viscera,

- Hurry. - Yes.

- Prime minister - Yes, Your Majesty.

I would like to call Hur June who is on exile

and let him take charge of my and royal families' health.

Sir, that can't be.

Until when will you say no?

Hur June is a special person to me.

So follow my will now.

I understand your will

but releasing him is disturbing principle of the Court.

I think we have put the principle in order enough.

Please reconsider it, Your Majesty.

I don't want to hear it! Leave!

What do you mean a suspicious person is meeting

the criminal?

From what I have found out, it seems that person is from Seoul.

From Seoul?

- Investigate him in more closely. - Yes, sir.

Hur June is secretly communicating with Court doctors.

I must report to the King.

Book of East Medicine

Now I have finished the compilation of medical books,

Although Korea is located at the inlet of East,

study of medicine never stopped ever since previous ages,

This medical book is not inferior to North and South medicine in China

Since this will shine over many generations like the mirror

which is clear with fortune and respect

I named it Book of East Medicine,

I would like to offer this book to you and all the people

who will be born and live in this land,

- Search it. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Don't you know?

You secretly got in touch with Court doctors and

tried to discuss national affairs.

The King ordered to find out about it.

- Why are you standing here? - Yes, sir.

- Take out all these books. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing? What on earth are you doing?

- Step aside. - What are you doing?

- Give it back. Move. - You can't take this.

- Step aside. - No.

You can't take that. Not that.

- You can't take it. - Move out of the way.

You can't take that. No!

The King is here.

Sit down.

Do you know what these are?

Deputy minister, do you know?

They're medical books called Book of East Medicine.

These are medical books

Dr. Hur and other doctors worked very hard on and finished.

Even after he became alone in back land,

he completed medicine system

which will shine over many future generations.

Your Majesty, he has no right to do that.

Listen!

I would like to reward doctors who completed these books after

so many years of hard work so

you call Hur June who is on exile to Seoul

right away!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Mr. Hur June is here.

Tell him to come in.

- Sit down. - Your Majesty, you can't do this.

Please take a seat.

You've become very thin. It must have been hard there.

Please forgive me.

I couldn't protect you due to my lack of virtue.

Your Majesty.

I think the feeling of remorse

is disappearing now that I'm facing you.

Don't leave my side again and take care of royal family and me.

You must live longer than me.

Your Majesty, I have a request.

Go ahead.

I will do anything for you.

Your kindness to call me back is like the rivers and the sea

but I would like to finish being a medical officer

and leave for countryside.

Leave for the countryside?

I would like to go down to Sanum area, hometown of my Master,

and spend rest of my life looking after the patients there.

Please allow me.

I was very upset after I sent you away and I called you now...

I can't do that. I can't!

There are many younger doctors who're more excellent

than me.

I believe they have the skills to look after the royal family and you.

The reason I trust and rely on you is not just because of your skills.

Until now, you were a teacher and a friend to me.

You were the only one who knew

what worries I have and how I can solve it.

I still remember clearly.

My mother asked you to look after my brother and I

before she passed away, didn't she?

Didn't you promise her that you will?

Your Majesty.

The reason I was anxious over not calling you from the exile place

was probably because of me rather than because of you.

I need you. Please recall your request.

I'm sorry,

but I made a pledge in front of my teacher's grave that

whatever happens, I won't abandon the poor patients.

I worked all my life to keep that

pledge but there was something I didn't realize for long.

That is I must find them first and share life together

instead of waiting for them

to come and find me.

My pledge with my teacher is more important than my life.

I'm a fool to have found a way to keep that pledge

when I don't have a lot of time.

Please forgive my disloyalty

and allow me to go down to the countryside.

Is there really no other way?

Is there no way to keep that pledge staying by me?

Your Majesty.

If I keep being stubborn, it will just make you upset.

Your Majesty...

If I made a pledge with you

I would have tried to keep that promise whatever happens.

So I would have to help you keep your pledge with your teacher.

Your Majesty.

But when I want to see you, you must run to me.

Please make a pledge.

Your Majesty.

Will you make a promise?

I'm only your servant.

How can I disobey your order?

OK, you may do as you wish.

Thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Dahee.

June.

I need to see mother. Where is she?

Mother...

I want to go down with you

but she won't listen to me.

I will go down soon so go down first.

I will never forget you looking after my mother and wife

while I was on exile.

Don't say that. We're a family, aren't we?

It would be good if you could be a doctor in Seoul.

Please take care.

If he doesn't make me go angry, I will live long.

- Let's go now. - OK.

I'm going to cry.

June, take care.

Let's hurry. Why are you so slow?

What about patients room and herb storage?

It's all ready.

When doctor Hur arrives, he will be touched.

Ohgun!

Ohgun. June is here.

He is coming? He is?

Welcome.

It must have been a long trip.

No, it was fine.

How is it? It's just like in the past, right?

Behind the rear room, we built another room for patients.

The rumor spread that you're coming and

patients not only from Sanum

but people from near towns are coming here.

OK.

We have prepared herbs you must use right away.

- Thank you. - No.

Guys, get up.

It's doctor Hur. Say hello.

They're the herb collectors.

Gguk Swe, where is he?

- Kuckswe! - Yes.

Come here.

Doctor Hur!

Long time no see.

Doctor Hur.

Although he's old... with no teeth...

His ears and eyes are sharp.

Go inside the room.

We left things teacher used.

Don't be surprised,

It's as what you see, as what you feel. 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.

Master, I'm back,

I will continue with your will in this place where you

stayed all your life,

I will work hard to be the people's doctor until the day I die,

Please watch me,

Line up!

I said no!

Please consider my situation.

- We can't. - Please.

What a thick man you are!

- Just once. - Come on!

What is it?

He begs everyday for medicine empty handed.

Please consider my situation. I really have no money.

Hey, who asked you to bring money?

If you have no money, it would be right to bring at least

a bowl of barley corn, isn't it?

Aren't you ashamed?

Because of famine for several years, I'm living on roots and barks.

I know what is right and wrong.

If I have food at home, how could I do this?

Please consider my situation.

Many people die from hunger in Doosi village, Osi village, everywhere.

Please consider my situation. Please.

Yang Tae, let him in and give him what he needs.

- Pardon? - Thank you.

If we do this, we can't operate the hospital.

Our rice bin is showing the floor as well.

Not mentioning the wages for the herb collectors,

we can't even give 3 meals to them.

They say there are plenty of people living on barks and roots.

How can we just think about our meals?

If the patients starve, we will have to starve too.

How can we cure any illnesses without understanding their situation?

I will go to Osi village and Doosi village to see patients,

so please prepare.

Yes, sir.

From what did he die?

They died of hunger, nothing else.

I'm a doctor. May I check him?

Take a look.

All I hear is crying.

Yong Soon.

Open your eyes.

Open your eyes. Yong Soon...

Yong Soon, open your eyes.

Excuse me. I'm a doctor. May I check the child?

She's dead already.

What�s the cause?

They're not dying from starvation.

Then what is it?

How can they die so ruthlessly?

I think it's epidemic.

We need to isolate the patients, so call Yang Tae and herb collectors.

OK.

- I need to check other houses. - OK.

Because they have starved and became weak, disease is spreading

very fast. We will give them general decoction and build up strength.

OK.

- Where are you going? - I must go to government office.

Government office?

What is it?

I'm a doctor in Sanum and I need to see magistrate.

I said what's going on?

I need to tell him something urgent so tell him now!

Alright.

Sir magistrate.

What's going on?

Epidemic is spreading in Osi village and Doosi village.

Is that right?

Because the people starved over long famine and became weak

disease is spreading fast.

You will have to restore people's strength from exchanging grain.

Open the warehouse and give out food!

Open the warehouse? Who are you making an order to?

The system of exchanging grain is made for situation like this, right?

Are you going to pile up the grain and make people starve to death?

It's my decision to open it or not.

Mind your own business and you just treat patients!

Sir, sir!

What an intolerable man!

What a rude man!

Did he say he's a doctor of Sanum?

Sir, they say he's a doctor called Hur June.

What? Then he is sir Hur June who used to be royal physician?

Yes, sir.

What a trouble.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I didn't know it either.

Oh dear.

It's a letter from sir Hur June who went down to Sanum.

OK.

I must report to the King.

Appoint Choi Myung Gul as a special missioner

to send to Kyung Sang province.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Royal physician, dispatch doctors and settle the epidemic.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Epidemic is prevalent in Guh Chang, Mil Yang, Jin Joo and

Sanum area where sir Hur June is.

There is an order from the King to send doctors and stop the disease.

Who will go?

I will.

I will go too, sir.

Send me as well, sir.

I will take the lead.

OK.

Doctor Hur.

I'm fine.

Ohgun.

Please have this.

- Take this. - No, you take it.

No, go on.

June, please eat this.

No, you...

Here, eat it.

June, you will collapse too.

How many days have you not eaten?

I ate some last evening.

Look at them with psoriasis, wrapped in hunger.

In front of them who're tired and dying from poverty,

how can I just fill up my stomach?

It's not your fault they're hungry.

They said even the King can't save people from poverty.

Yes, what can I do about this poverty, even the King can't solve?

But I should share their pain. That's the duty of the doctor.

Uh... if you have the pill to treat murrain, could I have some?

I have given it to everyone in the room.

- It's for something else. - Alright.

Sir, sir!

- Doctor Lee - Sir.

- Doctor Jang - Yes, sir.

Doctor Kim.

Hello. Sae Hee, you're here.

Yes.

Ok Jung, Chae Lyung.

Keum Duk, thank you.

Please prepare and come.

Sir, Mr. Choi Myung Gul is here as temporary captain.

Mr. Jung and Yoon went to Guh Chang, Doctor Lee and Han

are in Mil Yang to look after the patients.

I'm relieved now.

But you don't look good. Are you ill?

I'm fine, don't worry.

People are starving.

How can a magistrate be so ignorant?

Sir, I was ordered by the governor...

Shut up!

Don't you have ability to determine that it's a wrong order?

Open the warehouse and give out food!

Yes, sir.

Hurry, hurry.

Next, next.

Sir, sir, where are you?

Sir, bad news!

What is it?

Medicine for the patients have used up.

I will ask them to prepare it but it will need time.

- Hey. - Yes, sir.

Give this medicine to kids

and tell doctor Kim and medicine keepers to formulate medicine.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing? We're out of herbs.

Medicine must be given to patients on time otherwise it will be fatal.

- There is no use taking it. - OK, OK.

Come on, hurry!

Hello, sir.

Where is doctor Hur June?

He is looking after the patients.

How are the patients?

Except for those patients who didn't get medicine on time,

patients suffering from chill and fever got better.

Epidemic is settled now.

What a good news.

I got a letter from Mil Yang, Guh Chang and Jin Joo

that it's settled there too.

Doctor, thank you.

We will hold a party for the doctors

who worked hard and the people who suffered fighting with hunger

and disease. So prepare.

Yes, sir.

You don't look good, sir.

You look sick.

I think it's because I'm tired from working too much for a while.

I will be fine after taking rest.

Sir! Sir.

Sir, Mr. Choi has called

all the doctors.

The town is very lifted having a party.

June, let's go.

I have a patient I need to look after so you go first.

We will go first then. Come down quick.

You go as well.

You need to rest. Please come in.

I will check a patient and follow so don't worry and go ahead.

Sir

Sir.

Sir?

Sir!

That lousy wife. If she had gone with you...

How did I know it would be the last?

I'm the one who should go.

Live a peaceful life after death.

Chief nurse,

Chief nurse,

What is it?

Who's grave is this?

It's someone I respect all my life,

What did he do?

He was a doctor,

He...

He was like water running through the earth,

It's easy to renown yourself under the sun shine,

What's difficult is to quench one's thirst without letting anyone know,

He was like that,

He was a doctor who truly loved patients with his heart,

Chief nurse,

Chief nurse,

Yes?

Did he love you?

I'm not sure about that,

When I die, get buried in earth and meet him as running water...

Then...

Then I will ask him for sure,
