[Episode 38]

He can't leave...

Are you leaving already?

What do you mean already? We promised to stay until noon.

We can't stay here any longer.

But they waited for their turn all morning.

Doctor, it's finally my turn now. Can't you go after treating me?

I hurt my back. Acupuncture will cure it right up.

I'm in an urgent situation myself. Please take a look at my back infection.

Stop it. He said he'd stay until noon.

It wouldn't be right for us to hold them here.

Doctor, please.

Let's go.

Goodbye, folks.

You go ahead.

Doctor Heo, what do you mean? Aren't you coming?

I'll go.

I can't treat all of these patients but there are some urgent ones.

Are you insane? We're still in Chungcheong province.

Hanyang is still seventy miles away from here.

I still have one extra day.

If I leave tonight, I can get to Hanyang before the exam.

You're going to go straight to the exam yard?

You have to look over your books and possible questions beforhand.

You can't take the exam when you are dead tired.

Let us just go. You can't give up your lifelong dream.

Doctor, we simply endured our illnesses.

But when we heard about you, we came thinking you could help us.

I'm ashamed to ask you to do this, but can you treat us a little longer?

Haven't you heard anything?

I know you are desperate, but we have an important exam to take.

How can you ask us to stay longer?

I'll stay.

You go ahead without me.

They need my help, and I can't turn them down.

Doctor Heo.

Who the hell are you? Why do you keep interfering?

What?

It's really none of your business.

All we need is that doctor. We don't care if you leave.

I treated you all night without sleeping a wink.

This is all I get?

You ignorant ingrates!

Although I had nothing to gain, I decided to stay because of you.

But I refuse to do good for these mindless fools anymore.

I'm leaving!

Doctor Wu, the folks never meant to insult you.

I hope to see you in Hanyang.

Good riddance!

I'm very sorry. You would be nearing Hanyang if not for me.

It's alright.

Now, everybody listen up. No doctor can cure all diseases.

All I have are acupuncture needles. I don't have any medicine with me.

Your illness won't be cured overnight.

But I'll stay until tonight. I'll do my best until then.

Doctor, thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You all heard him, right? You know why he has to go to Hanyang.

When the night comes, we all send him on his journey.

Yes! Thank you, Doctor!

Take able-bodied men with you and collect herbs.

Yes, Doctor.

Please divide the urgent from the less urgent patients.

Yes, Doctor.

Okay, let's do our best to make the best out of this!

- Goodness. - Hello.

I heard the doctor stayed up all night.

Yes.

Please give this to him.

Precious eggs. Thank you.

This is for my family's memorial rite, but I brought it for Doctor Heo.

Thank you.

- He's been a great help. - He has.

Don't cry. You're dying for Doctor Heo.

Think of it as an honor!

How many female patients are there in the other room?

There are twelve in total.

Tell them I'll go look at them as soon as I'm done here.

Yes, Doctor.

The folks are back with herbs. I don't know if they got the right ones.

I'll take a look.

We got what you wanted.

I can use these.

These are too old to work properly.

Anyway, I appreciate your effort.

I'll have a look at the female patients now.

Sir, the corn I have is killing me. Please help me get rid of it.

You fool! He is busy with urgent patients.

Who cares about your stupid corn?

But it hurts!

Shut up, lout! Hey, drag him out.

- Doctor! - Let him go.

All people feel that their cold is more serious than somebody else's cancer.

We really feel sorry for making you do this.

It's easy to get rid of corns.

Get a jujube and take out the seed.

Tie the seedless jujube around your corn.

When it gets soft, yank it off.

Thank you! Thank you!

- Brat! - What did I do?

Stop it!

Lady Ye-jin!

Lady Ye-jin! Lady Ye-jin!

It IS you!

How are you?

When did you get back from the temple?

Just now. Did you have the baby?

Yes. It's a girl.

I am so unlucky. I should have delivered a boy.

She looks like a boy. If only she had the parts.

Please don't say such things in front of your daughter.

She's absolutely lovely.

She'll be a good daughter if you raise her well.

- Right. - You're right.

You should get married and have a son--

What's wrong?

You're probably super busy.

- Good-bye. - Bye.

Nice day.

You and your big mouth!

What brings you?

Master Samjuk asked me to get him some medicine.

Which ones do you want?

Ox bezoar, musk and bear's gall.

They are all very expensive.

He is such a shameless man. Did he think we owe him?

Stop it.

Did I say something wrong?

I know you give him money now and then.

Now he expects us to provide him with medicine?

Take whatever you need.

Yes, sir.

Are you doing well at the temple?

Yes.

You must be tired. Go rest.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Welcome home, Lady Ye-jin.

- It's been so long. - It has.

Lady Ye-jin! Lady Ye-jin!

Please save our madam.

What happened?

She fainted while giving her daily prayer.

Take her inside.

Girls, follow me.

Mother, Mother.

Mother!

Brew a tonic with these.

Yes, ma'am.

I remember when you first came to Saneum to find Doctor Heo.

You were suffering from extreme fatigue.

I asked you who you were looking for. You replied, your future husband.

You came hundreds of miles for him, and you looked so beautiful.

And I was wondering who the lucky man could be.

When I found out it was Doctor Heo, I understood.

I believe that he is a man who deserves your faithful love and sacrifices.

She is not seriously ill. Please don't worry too much.

Thank you.

We'll never forget what you did for us.

I'm sorry I could not treat all the patients.

After taking the exam, I will return to treat those remaining.

Don't mind us. Please pass the exam.

Otherwise, we will feel guilty for making you stay here.

Hurry up and go now.

Goodbye.

Dol-swe, be sure to show him the way.

Don't worry.

With my shortcuts, we can save you some miles.

- Thank you. - Take care.

Inner and outer body, tonic, acupuncture.

The inner parts of the body include the face, the body, bone marrow, chi, blood.

For inner diseases, check the pulse, detoxify and use medication.

The principle of medicine...

I have to go straight to the exam courtyard as soon as I arrive

I must study on the way. I don't have time to sleep.

Attention, please!

We'll be handing out admission tickets for the medical exam.

After registering, you must receive the ticket to enter.

Next, Yu-tae.

Sir.

- Excuse me, sir. - What is it?

How long will you be giving out the tickets?

Until we close at 5:30 p.m.

My friend hasn't arrived yet. Can I take the ticket for him?

No, that is not possible. We only give out one ticket per person.

What if he doesn't make it on time? Is there any other way?

Well, the applicants must receive it before the exam,

but if necessary, we issue the ticket right before the exam begins.

However, he must come on time. If he comes after 8:30 a.m.,

he won't receive the ticket and he won't be admitted.

Next.

You're finally here.

Doctor Jung. Doctor Yu.

Where's Doctor Heo?

I don't know what he's thinking, but he was still there when I left.

Is he giving up on the exam?

No. He said he'd make it here on time.

But I don't think he can.

Fortunately, he can still get the ticket if he gets here by 8:30 a.m.

I really hope he makes it.

Let's go and get our tickets.

Are you waiting for someone?

None of your business.

Yes, it was great fun!

What is it?

Sir, don't you remember me?

Oh, you're...

I am Yu Do-ji.

I failed the last exam because my father was rude to Doctor Yang Ye-su years ago.

My father regrets his action very much. He feels very sorry.

I'm begging you, sirs.

Please erase the past from your memory, and judge me solely on my merit.

If I'm allowed to pass the exam with my skills,

I'll serve you and Doctor Yang with all of my heart and soul.

This is a token of my gratitude, sir.

Only a little bit more.

Let's go.

Where are we?

This is my house.

Your house?

I have tricked you. I wanted you to treat my mother.

Please save my mother, Doctor.

How can you do this to me? I don't have the time to...

Doctor, I'm begging you. Please cure my mother of her disease.

I'm going.

Whatever you say, I don't have time to stay here.

Doctor! Please save her!

Let go of me. Let go!

Doctor, please save my mother. Please!

You can't leave. If you go, I'll kill you.

If you don't save my mother, I'll kill you and kill myself.

It's no use!

Even if you threaten me, you can't stop me from going.

Who's there? Is that you, Dol-swe?

Mother!

Mother! Please get up!

Mother! Mother!

How long has she been this ill? When did she start vomiting blood?

It's been a long time. I took her to a doctor last fall.

What did he say?

He said she'd pass away soon so treat her well.

So you just left her alone and did nothing?

What could I do? He recommended medicine I couldn't afford.

All I could do was feed her beef soup that I got by working at the inn.

Doctor, please save my mother. Please help her.

Doctor! Doctor!

Mother!

Massage her hands and feet.

She says it hurts when I massage her.

Just do it!

Yes, sir.

Move out of the way.

Bring my bundle.

You're leaving?

Now!

Yes, sir.

Go to the nearest clinic and buy the ingredients listed here.

We don't have a moment to lose.

Yes, sir!

Who are you?

I was just passing by your house.

How strange, I saw the mountain god in my dream.

He separated me from my husband. He was saying something to me.

He grabbed me...

Your finger...

Please try to rest.

Doctor, I have the herbs!

Did you get the right ones?

Yes. I checked twice.

Do you have a pot for boiling medicine soup?

I have two. I also have hardwood charcoal.

Good. While I make the medicine, rub her arms and legs.

Yes, sir.

Mother, wait just a little longer. You won't vomit blood anymore.

I didn't vomit this blood.

That man bit his own finger to feed me.

He did what?

I was about to choke to death.

But then I tasted something very hot.

I saw him giving me blood from his finger.

Who is he? Who is that man?

I'll do it. Go tend to your mother.

It's alright.

She was about to die, so I did what I had to do.

I deserve to die.

I did something unthinkable to you.

Nobody treated me like a human being until you did.

And yet I threatened you with a sickle...

It's okay. I understand how you feel.

Don't feel so bad.

How can I ever repay you? Doctor...

I still have seventy miles to go. I have exactly two days left.

I have to walk thirty-five a day. I must go now.

If I don't leave now, I won't make it.

But this medicine soup contains a poisonous ingredient.

She might die if it isn't prepared right.

I must leave right now. If I don't, I will miss the exam.

What are you doing? What have I done wrong?
