This is a command to send Jang-Geum to the Royal Court in custody!

What? Why?

Saving the invaders' chief s life is clearly an act benefiting the enemy!

There will be an investigation

What?

Bring the criminal in custody!

Yes, sir!

(Episode 32)

We could've been killed ifJang-Geum hadn't cured the enemy

How can that be a crime?

That's right! We all survived because ofJang-Geum

There probably was a misunderstanding It'll be clarified soon

I hope so

Don't worry. Anyway, we should be able to find out more about this...

once the high officer or the governor comes back. They're taking long

Sir! It's been a long time...

I read your report about defeating the raiders

The King is very pleased

Yes. I came here when I received the summon at Jeolla

I was going to see you at the dancer bar...

so I had talked to Park Bu-Kyum

I heard it from him

The King is very worried because of frequent invasions...

by Yuh-Jin and the Japanese

So he has called you and Min Jung-Ho who've defeated the Japanese...

and Sir Kim Chi-Sung for driving back Yuh-Jin

Isn't Sir Kim Chi-Sung the person who was the general at Pyung-Ahn...

I think the King is going to promote him to work at the court

Sir Kim Chi-Sung...

I can't oppose the King for promoting him for defending the country...

Anyway we need someone to curb this

You're the perfect man for it

Thank you, sir!

The King has read the report himself and he's very pleased...

that you've round them up without any loss to the civilians

Huh? He did?

So it'll be very easy to promote you into the court. Good job!

Sure

What's wrong?

These are lies Lies?

This is a falsified report

The governor secretly fled when they attacked the armory

And he remained without any plan until I came back

And a maid servant colluded with the enemy?

Then it isn't true that he retreated

because he knew of the collusion...

and attacked later when he had the chance?

No. That maid servant helped me when I attacked them

So I was going to report her act and have her get a reward

This is big trouble then

The King has mentioned the fact that many of our countrymen...

are acting in collusion with the enemy so we should...

punish her severely to set an example

What?

She's probably being investigated at the police already

You didn't hand over the armory key to the enemy?

No... hand over the armory key?

You didn't? Right

So you didn't act in collusion with the enemy...

and hand over the armory key?

This isn't some small Jeju office but the Royal Police!

Act in collusion?! I've never done such a thing...

There's a soldier who saw you at the shore...

on the day the enemy invaded

And you even treated the enemy's chief

How are you going to explain this?!

But...

Are you going to deny that you've treated the enemy chief, too?

Stop!

Aren't you Jung-Ho?

She helped me defeat the enemy

so how can you charge her for that?

But that's what it says in the report And I have a duty to investigate

That report is wrong

Wrong? Then do you have any proof for this?

I do

That's a letter she secretly wrote to me

As you can see I was able to defeat the enemy

because she had written me

the details of their situation

How can a person acting in collusion with the enemy...

send such a letter risking her own life?

I brought the letter to report at Jeolla what she did...

but I never expected to use it this way

Then are you saying this report is a lie?

That's right

Then it's a lie that she treated the enemy's chief?

She did it because other people's lives were in danger

I'll make a new report so please postpone the investigation for now

Sir, why are you blocking my report?

The report that the governor wrote is wrong

Wrong?! How can the armory be attacked so easily...

unless that maid servant acted in collusion with the enemy?!

And she even treated the chief knowing that he was the enemy!

I'd like to ask you. I had told you be extra vigilant in guarding...

so how come you were invaded so easily?

Besides, you fled as soon as you heard of their attack

That's because I wanted to make another plan...

So you don't know what happened...

between the enemies and those who were captured, eh?

How can you as the leader who turned his back on the people...

try to blame your own people?!

Even so, treating the enemy chief is against the law

So it's natural for her to be misunderstood

Then should she have just sit by and watch innocent people die?

If she hadn't treated their chief he would have died

And you can't have a military without a chief

It would've been destroyed by itself

Sir, the chief threatened people Please understand

She could've just pretended to do it

But she treated him properly and she even followed them

Is that a lie, too?

Head of guards, what do you think?

If someone saved the enemy chief shouldn't she...

be tried at the military court?

People are suffering as the number of invasions are increasing

So the King ordered himself to severely punish those...

who act in collusion with the enemy

But a servant physician treated the chief enemy

If we keep her alive just because we've defeated the enemy

what are you going to do about the public order of the people?

Did you hear? About the physician lady from Jeju?

Yes, it doesn't sound like irrelevant news...

because she's one of us

I know... what is one to do in such a situation?

A physician lady shouldn't treat others...

risking her life just because she's a physician?

Though her life was on the line...

they were threatening to kill others, too

Then that's more of a reason...

The Queen says she has shoulder pains...

OK

A physician lady from Jeju?

Could it be Jang-Duk?

Such a thing happened?

Yes. Should one not treat the enemy's chief in such a situation?

I don't know. They threatened to kill other innocent people...

if she didn't treat the chief?

Yes

It must've been a difficult situation

Yes, Your Majesty. The King has ordered a severe punishment...

to set an example for those who act in collusion with the enemy

She's being investigated right now

Is that so?

His Majesty the King is entering

What were you talking about with the physician ladies?

I was talking about important issues with them

About the physician lady from Jeju...

who is being investigated at the police right now

A physician lady from Jeju?

You don't know about it?

I did tell them to set a public example...

of the enforcement of the law but I don't know about the details

I still think you should know about it

What in the world is this?!

How can a government official blame his fault on a maid servant...

and submit a falsified report?!

Discharge Jeju official Han Dong-Ik & reward the physician lady...

who helped the high military officer defeat the enemy

But, Sire, she acted to benefit the enemy by treating the chief

You've ordered us to set a public example of the law

No! No!

The reason why I gave you such an order is...

because other people get hurt when invasions occur...

because of such people It is to save the lives of people

And she treated him to save people, so how could this be collusion?

There shouldn't be any affair where we forget the essentials...

because we focus so much on the externality, OK?

Your grace is immeasurable

There she is! Jang-Geum!

I thought you were in big trouble!

Do you know how hard he worked on this?

I have to go visit the police now, so you can go ahead to my home

Jang-Geum!

So you're the physician lady from Jeju

Hello, again. You've come, too

Yes, it turned out that way

I thought it was Jang-Duk

She wasn't there when it happened

I see What happened to you?

I came back to the Royal Pharmacy That's good, sir! That's really good!

I owe it all to Jang-Duk She healed me of my illness

Yes

The chief s illness was a type of acute appendicitis

It's not easy to cure You must've been studying hard

So will you be going back to Jeju?

Yes. As soon as Sir Min is done with his work in one or two days...

Where are you staying? I'll visit after work

I'll probably be at Sir Min's home

OK

Sir... I've been looking for you

Why?

The medical department wants to talk about...

the examination of the physician ladies on the seventh

OK

It's not because of medicine...

It's because that's the only hope, the hope of returning to the palace

They say that's the only way for a maid servant to go to the palace

I'll go back and punish those...

who have made my mother, Lady Han and myself like this

What? Punish?

Are you saying you want revenge?

Yes, sir. I'm going to find a way once I go back to the palace

I wonder what happened to Jang-Geum

Me, too...

If it wasn't for this she would've been there for the exam

It's hard to know when they'll pick physician ladies again

Pyung-Ahn inspector Sir Kim Chi-Sung will be promoted to the court

Sir Kim Chi-Sung? Yes

That's good! Such a person ought to protect the King with you

Sir Kim was the one who recommended you to me...

and I think you should be at his side from now on

Come back to the court That's what he wants, too

He asked for you

Is anything uncomfortable for you?

Oh, no...

Where is officer Park?

He became close with the servants already

and he went out to tour through Han-Yang

It's been a long time since you were here last time

You should meet your friends at the court. I'll help you

I don't want to right now

I'll go back with dignity...

Then I'll meet them

And that's what Lady Han wants, too

Sir, Mr. Jung from the pharmacy is here

I'll ask you again

You haven't changed your mind from last time?

Do you still believe you could practice medicine...

with hatred in your heart?

Give that up now

No. The hatred became even stronger when I saw the palace today

You still haven't come to your senses

You're the only one who can dissuade her

You must stop her You must dissuade her

Or else she can't practice medicine

With such a heart, how do you expect her to concentrate on medicine?

She'll only think about taking revenge

But Lady Suh isn't that kind of a person

Everyone is capable of that

The heart can easily change

Even if she started with only pure passion...

she can change, that's how it is in the palace

I believe and trust that Lady Suh will not change that way

And even if she changes, it's something she'll have to decide

Jang-Geum, I can't tell you about the physician lady exam...

I'm sorry

Sir Kim was the one who recommended you to me...

and I think you should be at his side from now on

Come back to the court That's what he wants, too

He asked for you

I'm leaving tomorrow, sir

Why? You still resent me?

No, sir

Then why are you leaving? I said Sir Kim needs you, too

Think it over one more day

Since going back isn't urgent think it over

If you came to Han-Yang, you should've visited our home

Were you going to just leave without seeing us?

She was at the police

How about yesterday?

She's a maid servant

How can she travel as she wills?

Sir Min would surely allow her to visit us!

It's because there's no affection for us...

She has forgotten about us

Oh, no, that's not it...

Then what is it?

If I visit, then I would miss you so much...

and when Duk-Gu came last time to Jeju...

What's wrong with you? Why are you making her cry?

Who is this anyway? He only eats and eats!

I'm a Jeju officer ofJeolla

Jang-Geum, I didn't know you were so good at cooking

Give me more of this

At least ask us to eat with you!

If one's busy eating one can naturally forget such courtesy

That's not it

Sir, you shouldn't be doing this Your father is old now

Even though he was heartbroken when you left for Jeju...

he said that a scholar-official should have such a spirit...

and that he's fine so I shouldn't worry

But he didn't look fine at all

He regained his strength with the hope of you returning to the court

But I heard you declined again

You shouldn't do that...

Please think of your father. Sir!

Why aren't you resting? You know we're leaving tomorrow

Sir...

I have a favor to ask of you

Please go ahead

You must do it for me

Sure... I'll do whatever it is if it's your request. Please go ahead

I wish you could work as a police at Han-Yang now

Not yet

I can work as one anytime in the future

That's my wish

Sir

I promised you I'll be with you at all times

I consider you to be with me whether in Jeju or in the palace

Just like Lady Han

You have to work for the government in the capital

Be armed with power Not just power, but righteous power

I'm going back to the palace for sure

She left?

Yes, that maid servant left

I have to give this to her!

Madam, you've been doing well?

I hope you aren't cold

I'm sorry... for not making you warm

Hey, let's hurry... I'm cold

Sir, I have a favor What now?

Please give me a little time to build a mound here

We don't have time for that...

Please? She's just like my mother

Please allow me to build a mound here, huh?

Jang-Geum!

Jang-Geum! I ran here because I didn't say bye to you

But I saw you yesterday, so what brings you here again?

But you're traveling far and I should see you get on the boat at least

By the way, why are you standing here?

Duk-Gu

This is the place where Lady Han is buried

Madam! How sad!

How come there's no mound?

I was asking the officer for it

Please, sir

Now I see that you're a heartless person!

Do you know who she is?!

No, it's not that...

You! Jang-Geum, I'll go back to the town and get some tools

Will you do that?

Yes... you come over here!

Come follow me!

Hold on!

You shouldn't make a grave here!

What do you mean?

This is our land

Then this land belongs to someone?

And this spot isn't for graves

We can't make a grave here?

The Ong-Ryo mountain ridge comes down to here and one branches out...

into that lake there so it was a death by drowning

What?

The sounds of wind and water are like a woman's weeping sound...

so here must lie a woman with a lot of grievances

How did you know, sir?

This place is So-Tang-Hyeul

The prince is sad and laments...

that there's no successor and no one who comes...

so the longing never stops

If the adults find out you'll get in trouble...

so move the grave quietly

What should we do, Jang-Geum?

I told you so! If we hadn't started to make the mound...

we wouldn't be in this situation!

What are you going to do?

Where are you going, Jang-Geum?

Jang-Geum!

Sir... aren't you feeling stuffy? And don't you have a fever?

You cough and suffer from cold sweats, eh?

How do you know of my illness?

I'm a physician lady from Jeju

I think I know the illness I've seen my teacher treat it

If it's because of the grave...

A physician does not make a deal over an illness

OK... you don't seem that way...

Please let me check your pulse

How is it?

I think it's that illness I was thinking of

I'll try treating it

Since I was 7, I had no appetite...

and my body grew weak for some reason

Many doctors came and diagnosed it as a food-related illness...

and gave me medicine to take, but they were only temporary...

and my body only grew weaker

They can't do anything about it now

If you treat me and nothing happens you could get in trouble by my parents

I will try

No!

Father...

I heard about this

Trust your body to a physician lady? That's absurd!

She correctly guessed my illness just by looking at my face

Even so, no way! You're a precious son to me

Father, I know

So trust me and let her do this I'm doing this for a reason

Go ahead

But if it gets worse or something bad happens...

then you'll be in trouble Do you understand?

You saw it all, right? Tell me what you saw

Get a fat cow and cut out 4 legs, chuck crest, loin and...

throw away the tendons and membranes

Chop the meat up chestnut-size and put them in a cauldron

You'll get beaten in Jeju again, Jang-Geum

It's not her fault The head ordered her to do it

Anyhow, this is great trouble

He didn't ask to be served beef but to be healed of a disease

I know... why does she keep on chopping up meat?

Go and ask her for some meat so we can cook up some here

Oh no, she won't let me go near it!

I'm letting her do it because we tried everything else...

but she's a lowly physician lady, a mere servant girl

Besides, treat you only with beef? I don't trust her at all

She doesn't look like someone who would harm people

Give her a chance

Does it have to be from a river?

Water's all the same

Be quiet and start carrying it

Why do you keep talking down to me like that? I am...

Jeolla's mere officer What?! Mere officer?

Stop staring directly at me!

It's been many days already and Jang-Geum and I could get beaten

Just wait... we should hear something soon

If this is how it's going to be, then I'll tie her up and go

What? Tie her up?!

Tie me up! Go ahead!

My mistake...

Why you! What did you do to him?!

Instead of healing him of his illness he is vomiting again!

How dare you try to fool people?!

He has to vomit. He'll be healed if he eats a little more

This is normal

How dare you! Stop this now! Stop this right away!

He has never been healthy He's suffering again!

Drag her outside the house right now!

No, rather, report her to the police and have them cut off her head!

Yes, sir!

Sir, it's the treatment you asked for

If you want me to stop, I will stop

Ultimately, it's not me or your father who has to drive this illness away

Father, I will try to endure this

If I can be healed enduring this, I will

She's someone who will heal me for sure

But still... no way...

This way, we could get in trouble before reaching Jeju

I hate to be beaten...

I was dragged away to the police once and beaten there

You were beaten at the police?

I was falsely accused and I heard them breaking logs

Let's run away

Run away? How about Jang-Geum?

That's right... Jang-Geum...

What happened?

Are you feeling OK?

Yes, I feel very good

It was a food-related illness after all

But as the physicians prescribed medicine just treating...

the symptoms instead of the cause, his illness grew

The cause?

The gall and extravasated blood accumulated...

and damaged the intestines

So I used a cleansing method for the intestines

Cleansing method?

Just as you saw, it was done by using pure beef extract

My teacher said it's a method widely spread in countries...

west of China, so it's probably not well known here

The extract goes into the intestines...

and pushes out everything...

that is floating around or rotting in there

Giving him medicine after cleaning out his system is what healed him

So he's completely healed now?

Yes, but he must not eat beef for the next three years

How hard could refraining from beef for 3 years be?

Thank you

Sir, I have a question...

How were you able to be sure that I would heal you?

I knew a great helper would come to me

I didn't know whether it would be a woman and a maid servant...

but I knew that a helper associated with that place would come

He has already memorized the Seven Chinese classics...

and the Book of Changes at 10 He views the world...

differently from normal people Even we don't take his words lightly

I have no other way to thank you...

but to find a good place for...

the person who is buried in our land

Will you really do that?

Sure

We'll make a mound and take care of it, so don't worry

So you're a physician lady in Jeju?

Yes

I heard the court is hosting an exam for physician ladies...

so that must be why you came here

What? There's an exam for physician ladies?

It's on the seventh day

Then... it's tomorrow?

Jang-Geum! Jang-Geum!

What?! Han-Yang, instead ofJeju?

Yes. There's an exam so a notice must've gone to Jeju, too

We didn't know because we left before it arrived

But even so, we can't go back!

Sir, farewell

Thank you. What is your name?

My name is Jang-Geum

Study the Book of Changes Huh?

According to your face you will save a lot of people

Jang-Geum!

Madam!

Madam, thank you very much!

I'm going to take the exam thanks to you

Thank you, Madam

Hurry!

It's time now. Close the door!

Don't close the door!

What is it?!

I'm an officer ofJeolla!

Exam ground for physician ladies only!

There's another lady who will be a physician here! Open up!

Good luck!

His arm will get cut off! Open up!

Are you OK?

Is Jang-Geum inside? Yes, she is

It's fine Yeah?

Let's go somewhere and eat Sure

What's your name?

My name is Jang-Geum

Write down Jang-Geum

So-Ryung... Mal-Geum... Mak-Dal

Come in

Ok-Yee Yes

Yeup-Yee Yes

Jang-Geum Yes

Come in

The score is high, medium or low

If you receive "low" from any of us you fail the exam

What symptoms does one have if there's a disease in the liver?

Sour taste in the mouth...

and one becomes talkative...

and the person can easily get sick by the wind

Your turn

You get anxious and cry easily...

and there are muscle problems

How about the pulse?

How about the pulse?

You can feel the bow pulse

How about when the person's spleen is not well?

His face turns brown and they burp more often...

and because his arms and legs feel heavy...

he doesn't want to move Plus, sleep increases...

and his navel area feels hard and painful

(Jang-Geum: High)

Tell me the parts that indicate the condition of health

Urine, feces, skin and voice...

Next

Eyes, tongue and hair...

Next

And there are also blood, saliva and sweat

Write them down on the paper and turn them in

You don't know how to write?

No...

(Jang-Geum: High)

Let's say there's an enemy

He has a terminal disease and came to you for help

Would you save him or not?

Of course, one should save him

A person who practices medicine must save a person's life no matter what

I think you should save him

It is wrong to practice medicine according to personal emotions

I haven't made my decision yet

(Jang-Geum: Low)

There she comes

Jang-Geum!

Jang-Geum, how did you do?

She was taught with whippings so she couldn't have failed

No... I did fail

What?! You'll be killed by Jang-Deuk

What?! You're joking, aren't you? How could that happen?!

One of the judges is someone I know...

Really? That's great

He gave me "low"

Low?

Receiving one low means failure

You should've greeted him properly!

You should've recognized him and bowed to him!

Whether it was a success or not let's head to Sir Min's place first

No, not that place

Huh?

Why not?

Honey

Jang-Geum, you didn't leave yet?

I'm leaving tomorrow

What's wrong with her? Did something go wrong?

I met her on the way... Make it short

After healing a rich man's son...

Make it shorter

She failed

Failed? From what?

She took the Royal Physician Lady exam but she failed

You should've said that first...

Jang-Geum failed?! Really?

I don't know... that's what she said

What? Punish? You'll take revenge?

Yes, sir. I'll go back to the palace first and find a way

If that's the case, then stop studying right now!

Medicine is to heal people, so how can you heal people with...

such a heart of anger?!

I can never allow it!

How can a person filled with anger heal people?!

Just quit right now! Now!

Lady, how did you learn medicine?

Let me see...

Jang-Geum!

Yes!

Jang-Geum! My daughter Jang-Geum has become a Royal Physician Lady!

You did it!

Jang-Geum, you made it! Made it!

So-Young beside Jung-Hee and...

Jang-Geum beside So-Young!

Greet him. He's Chief Pharmicist Do, head of the Medical Department

You'll be trained as physician ladies from now

This is a special order to treat women in many parts of the country...

as well as the palace so learn diligently

Training will start tomorrow at the medical center

Gather there by 6 a.m.

Thank you, sir

I still haven't acknowledged you

I've only put off my decision because you haven't made yours yet

Think it over carefully while you're being trained here

Sir, you've come back to be promoted...

and Jang-Geum has made it to become a physician lady...

so we can live like in the good ol' days

This is so good! Yes

I feel like I'm on top of the world!

Yes, yes

But how come you don't look good?

I feel angry thinking about going back to Jeju by myself

You wanted to go back so badly...

so why would you be angry?

They say bitter relationships can also be sweet...

I must've grown attached...

Do you want to come to Han-Yang?

If I have an opportunity I'll request it

Really?

Things turned out really good Yes

You wanted it so much and that's why you made it

I still have a long way to go

In order to enter the palace you have to be...

an apprentice to a physician lady

You have to be in the top three for that

You will make it

Studying medicine in order to get in the top three...

That's what made sir Jung angry

Lady Han would've gotten angry over it, too

But I'm going to put aside such thoughts for now

Please do so... you'll find a way...

to fulfill those two wishes for sure

The training officially starts today

Medical Prof. Shin Ik-Pil will teach you

Greet him

Sit down

What you knew up until now is all trash!

Forget all that you knew

You have to accept all that I teach you

Those who oppose or can't endure it may leave now

Do you understand?
