[Episode 50]

Here you are.

Hello, sir.

These are rare medicine.

I see you are determined.

It is too late to help him. Eui-tae knows this.

He is ready to move on.

But I cannot give up.

Doctor Yu.

Are you acquainted with a Lord Lee Jung-myung?

The assistant section chief of the interior ministry.

I've never met him before.

Go. He is waiting outside.

Sir, this man is Doctor Yu.

My name is Yu Do-ji, sir.

Don't be nervous. I am Lee Jung-myung.

Is there something I can do for you, sir?

Did you meet Lady Ye-jin?

What do you mean?

Han-sang!

Where's Han-sang?

What are you doing home?

Did you know that Ye-jin was in Hanyang?

Did you or not?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

You didn't know?

Do-ji, what's the matter?

Mother, Ye-jin is here in Hanyang. You didn't know?

What are you talking about? Why would she be here?

I haven't heard anything either.

Do-ji! Do-ji!

Who is Ye-jin? What's the matter?

Well...

You don't have to worry about it.

What do you mean you are leaving for a trip?

I want to visit my ancestors' tombs.

If something should happen to me, give this to my workers at the clinic.

It's the secret method of making ointment.

Since they know a thing or two about herbs,

I'm sure they can make a living out of it.

Are you...

Stop letting your imagination run wild.

I'm taking Sang-hwa with me. Don't worry.

You are a critical patient. Why are you doing this?

Come on. You know how stubborn I am.

Looking back, I was way too stubborn.

I never opened up to people who didn't reach to my expectations.

Perhaps that's why Do-ji turned out that way.

I must have suffocated him.

Do you regret it?

I regret never being generous and kind to people's faults and mistakes.

Master.

I'll be back.

Let's go.

Put the bundle down and go back to Saneum.

Tell Heo Jun and Samjuk to come on the seventh day of this month.

But Doctor Heo told me to serve you at your side.

Do as I say.

I went to the blacksmith and heard something odd.

Doctor Yu had asked him to make strange looking knives.

What do you mean?

Doctor Yu had hand drawn pictures.

He asked for six or seven small sharp blades.

And he even asked for a saw.

Do you use this sort of knife in the clinic?

They had one left over.

Doctor Heo.

Oh, you're back.

Where is Doctor Yu?

He didn't go to his ancestral tombs?

He went to Mt. Chunhwang in Milyang instead?

Yes.

He didn't tell you why he wanted us to come?

No. He just said that you had to come.

We'll have to hurry to be on time.

Let's get some rest.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Yu is a very odd man. Why ask us to come to Milyang?

He is not an easy man to figure out. I can't even guess.

Maybe he wants some company for his trip.

No, he wouldn't make us come for that.

What can be on his mind? Why ask us to come all this way?

And what could he want with this knife?

What's that?

It is a knife.

Let me see.

If I had a well-made knife like this,

it would've been easier to cut animals open.

Where did you get this?

Doctor Yu had it made by the town's blacksmith.

All doctors wish to look inside a body.

I am no exception.

A doctor must treat many diseases and it's not easy doing that

based only on ancient medical books and vague records about the organs.

We can't cut open a human body.

Who would want their body to be cut open?

It's simply impossible.

But if it is necessary, somebody must do it.

This must be the place.

Master.

Sir.

Eui-tae.

Why are you scaring us like this?

This is...

- Eui-tae! - Master!

Eui-tae! Eui-tae!

Sir!

Eui-tae.

He committed suicide.

No, it can't be true.

It can't be.

His body is still warm.

Look. There is still warmth left.

He is still warm.

Forget it.

It's a waste of time.

It's too late!

Master.

Master...

Master. Master.

Master!

Master!

Master... Master...!

Master!

Master. Master.

Master!

He left his will for you.

Read it.

Dear Jun.

I know you'll be sad over my death more than anyone else.

So I write this letter to you.

I have seen death approaching, and I wish to welcome death.

A life is born with a limited span, it is not something to be upset about.

As I face death after sixty years, I shouldn't have any regrets about life.

But when I hear the silent footsteps of death, I can't help but ponder.

From a baby in the cradle to people that this world needs.

From those devoted to others to those who died without being happy.

Isn't there a way for me to find the cure to all diseases

so that everyone can live in good health until their inevitable end?

This is the responsibility of all doctors.

For those who earnestly want to be a true doctor, this is their ultimate goal.

But since I have a terminal disease, I don't have the energy for the endeavor.

I hope that you can fulfill my life's wish. To that end, I am giving you my body.

Remember, you must cut me open before my body starts to decay.

See what a human's inner organs look like.

Learn about all of the 360 bones and veins.

I hope this broadens your medical knowledge.

Master.

Sir... Sir!

I hope that you can fulfill my life's wish. To that end, I am giving you my body.

Remember, you must cut me open before my body starts to decay.

I can't do it, Doctor.

I can't!

I can't do it.

The sun is going down.

What will you do?

Let's go in.

The body is becoming stiff. The blood will stop flowing soon.

I can't do it.

Don't betray Doctor Yu's last wish.

I can't do it!

How do you expect me to put a knife to my mentor's body?

How can you ask me to cut him open?

I can't do it! I just can't!

Get up!

Sir...

Get up right now!

This doesn't just concern you.

Eui-tae killed himself for the benefit of all the sick people.

You must do it!

Your master killed himself so that you could learn from his body.

Do not ignore his final teaching.

But how can I...

You don't have to be concerned about us.

You are here as a doctor that Eui-tae truly loved and cared about.

You must remember what your master used to say.

About teaching something valuable to a worthy pupil.

Your teacher gave you the most precious teaching

because of his high regard for you.

You're the one that he has chosen.

Don't think you're just cutting open your teacher's body.

You're doing it for sick people everywhere.

What he wants is for you to save the sick people.

He wishes to give himself to you so that many patients can be saved.

Get up. And take the knife.

Take it and look at the inner organs.

Discover ways to cure diseases.

Do not disobey your teacher's last will.

Don't let his death be in vain. That's the way he can live forever.

Take the knife.

Wouldn't it be better for you to start?

No. Heo Jun must do it.

He must do it from the beginning to the end.

I'm sure that is what Doctor Yu wants.

May your soul rest in peace.

May Buddha's grace be with you.

You may begin.

This is the way I can make my teacher live forever.

This is the way he can live forever.

This is the way...

...he can live forever.

Unless I make a doctor out of him, he'll become a murderer with his skills.

Even a single mistake cannot be forgiven!

The minute you accepted the letter, you lost your right to be a doctor.

No matter what people may think,

a doctor deals with life so it is one of the noblest occupations.

But if you lack one thing, you can't call yourself a true doctor.

And that is compassion. You must have compassion for the sick.

When you sympathize with patients, you become a true doctor.

The true doctor is someone that this world really needs.

Master... Master...

Master!

Master!

Let's get going.

I won't forget you.

I'll always remember your kindness for me.

If I ever betray your trust, please punish me.

If I ever regret becoming a doctor...

...or be not diligent enough in my pursuit...

...or if I ever pursue personal fame and wealth on account of my skills,

please punish me most severely.
