[Episode 79]

You just gave birth. You should eat the seaweed soup.

I can't bear to face you.

Don't be too disappointed. You'll get a son next time.

Go on, eat.

Okay.

She seems to be in a better mood. Did something happen?

Yes, it's good news to her.

What good news?

The doctor who replaced Master Do-ji is facing a possible punishment.

That put her in a good mood.

- Punishment? - Yes.

You wanted to see me?

Do-ji is bringing home fellow doctors. Prepare wine and dinner.

In fact, cook enough for a feast.

Yes, ma'am.

If you need help, contact Haman and Heo Jun's wife.

Yes, ma'am.

Go on and get started.

Okay.

She wants us to prepare a feast.

What's the occasion?

Doctor Heo might lose his hand, and she wants to celebrate.

I've never seen a crueler person in my life.

I heard Doctor Heo's wife is fasting and praying endlessly.

Geez.

Life is full of unexpected twists.

Oh geez.

What brings you here?

I am here for the tonic ingredients.

You came to get them yourself?

Yes, sir.

Can you really cure cancer in five days?

Don't dig your own grave, and let Doctor Yang treat him.

I am doing all I can for the patient.

Take the ingredients you need.

What is this?

Red ginseng to restore your strength.

Three days have passed already.

Not only is my face still paralyzed, I have burn marks on my body.

Having burn marks is not an illness.

What did you say?

I'll cauterize with moxa again, so please be prepared.

How is Doctor Heo doing?

It seems he is having a tough time.

Doctor Heo cauterizes with moxa and then does acupuncture at sunset.

His face becomes normal, but twists again when the needles are removed.

Time is running out, but neither the paralysis nor cancer has been cured.

What should we do?

We can't do anything but trust Doctor Heo.

Milord, there is still one day left. Please don't be too concerned.

I believe that Doctor Heo will pull through.

He could be forgiven for disrupting the discipline of the bureau,

but he can never be pardoned if he fails to honor his promise.

If he indeed fails, both Your Lordship and I will be held responsible.

I am sure Doctor Heo will do his best and succeed.

I'll stay with the patient. Get some rest.

Doctor Heo...

The cancer symptoms aren't visible. Why don't you cure his face first?

Tomorrow is the promised date.

You must find a way to save yourself first.

If you cure his face, I'm sure they'll give you a few more days.

Dear Jun.

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.

It is still hot, we must wait.

These are drawings of the teacher's internal organs.

He recorded changes in his body while suffering from gastric cancer.

And he gave up his body to me for research.

He never wanted anyone to die from gastric cancer again.

I pledged that I'd find the cure.

But you don't have much time left.

As So-hyun said, you should cure the paralysis first.

When you prove yourself, you'll get another chance.

But the disease will worsen with time.

Sir...

If there is a disease, there is a cure.

It is a doctor's job to find that cure.

I cannot give up.

Is anyone there? Is anyone...

Call the doctor at once!

Yes, ma'am.

Sir, we have a serious situation!

What is it?

The patient has vomited blood.

Why is my brother's condition worsening?

I am deeply sorry, Milady.

What will you do now?

I did as you told me, and now I have a fever and I'm vomiting blood!

When my face was twisted, at least my body didn't hurt.

But your so-called cancer treatment has put me in great pain!

Please calm down and lie with your head to the east.

Shut up! Don't play witch doctor with me!

Do as I tell you!

What?

Her Ladyship is here.

Milady!

What is going on?

How come the patient's face is the same as before?

Tell me. Is he getting better?

I believe so, Milord.

You believe so? Do I look like I'm better?

Because of your quack treatments, I'm vomiting blood and have bloody stool!

What do you mean? Vomiting blood and bloody stool?

He's having those symptoms because the cancer tumor is dissolving inside.

Shut up! How dare you try to fool her?

Don't be deceived by this wretch. My body feels like it's on fire.

I came here to get my condition cured, but I think I'm going to die.

Speak the truth!

If what you are saying is true, how come his face is the same?

Compared to the cancer, the paralysis is nothing.

As far as I know, he will get better after vomiting a few more times.

And then his face will return to normal.

Didn't you promise that you would cure him by tomorrow?

I did, Milady.

Then let's wait until tomorrow.

Milady!

The promised date is tomorrow. You must follow his orders until then.

Milady!

Is he really getting worse?

Yes, Sire, he's vomiting blood and has bloody stool.

When is the promised date?

Tomorrow, Your Majesty.

Okay, leave me.

Is Doctor Yang inside?

Yes, he's with Doctor Yu right now.

What happened with Heo Jun? I heard that today is the promised date.

The patient is in worse condition, sir.

The patient was in pain all night and couldn't even sleep.

And what about the face?

People say it's the same, if not worse than before.

How have you been, sir?

Welcome.

I heard about what is happening with Heo Jun.

He has failed to cure the patient. What should we do?

There is still time left. Let us wait.

Sir, what if you are held responsible for it?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Heo Jun was brought in by Lord Sung.

Why should Doctor Yang be held responsible?

We should not let Heo Jun get away with this.

Everyone in the royal medical bureau is now calling for Heo Jun's punishment.

He must be taught a lesson in the most severe manner.

Heo Jun won't be able to walk away from this unharmed.

He made a false promise to the king. He'll pay a heavy price.

Will you stop minding the time? Just do your job.

It's 5:00 already, yet the patient's condition is the same.

Why don't we go see Doctor Yang?

If he begs the king, maybe Doctor Heo can be pardoned.

That won't work. The top officials are eager to see him punished.

They must be thrilled at what is happening.

I have to go somewhere. Fill in for me.

Are you here to meet Sir Ahn?

Is he inside?

He went out for a while.

Sir...

Will you stop calling me "sir?" What brings you here?

Doctor Heo will be killed at this rate. Isn't there any way?

Any way for what?

Are you talking about saving Jun or curing the gastric cancer?

There's nothing I can do.

He made a promise to the king, so if he fails he'll lose his hand.

There is no simple cure for cancer, I can't help with curing the patient either.

Go and wait.

He knows about gastric cancer better than anyone.

Man-kyung, I need you to take these kids under your care.

Min-sae used to look after them.

Make the girl a nurse.

Make the boy a tonic assistant in the bureau.

Your mouth used to turn back with acupuncture,

but even that is not happening.

You have two more hours left.

Sure I can wait.

I have waited for five whole days. I can bear two more hours.

Make the tonic for the patient an hour later.

Doctor...

It is the last tonic, so make it well.

Doctor Heo, how did it go? Is he better?

He is much better.

So you did it, huh?

Judging by his smile, the patient must've been cured.

But what's wrong with you? You look very worried.

The last tonic?

There's one more tonic left, sir.

Good luck.

Drink, sir.

That is the bell for 8:00.

Give me the mirror.

It is my turn now.

I shall have your head for this.

Milady.

I have done all that I could, but the result was not satisfactory.

I will prepare a report listing all of the prescriptions I used.

I will be glad to receive any punishment.

Still remember that "no vain word is tolerated in the palace?"

I don't go back on my word as a man.

I have no regrets concerning my treatment.

Silence!

You may have done all you could, but I'm the one who had to suffer.

Because of your insane treatment, I'm the one who had to shed blood!

You boasted that you could cure me when you knew you couldn't.

It's time for you to lose your hand!

- He is cured of gastric cancer! - What?

I believe in my treatment.

It is too late. Put your hand forward.

Sir!

Please forgive Doctor Heo!
