ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

I am giving you the chance

to work for me.

And why should I do that?

Why?

Because…

Yoo Se-yeop

is your name.

I heard that you killed the previous King.

So you passed the medical exam with flying colors

and were the head acupuncturist,

but you accidentally killed the King?

That probably ended your career as a physician.

At a time like this, you need somebody very powerful

to protect you.

If you just follow my orders,

you will have the chance to get rich,

and you will live a better life than most people here.

It is a much better deal than working for a physician like Ji-han

who kills his patients instead of treating them.

I was

an arrogant and foolish physician.

I ought to live the rest of my life repenting for my sins.

I can never go back to doing what I used to do.

Yes, that is right.

That is why you need somebody to protect you.

I will be going now.

Hey. Se-yeop.

Hey, Se-poong.

Gosh!

Darn it. The location of that infirmary

is such a nice one.

I heard that you killed the previous King.

Eun-woo.

These flowers are so beautiful, just like you.

I found them in front of the gates.

My goodness.

Is she still sleeping?

She should be awake by now.

Shin-woo.

Eun-woo.

What are you doing?

Where have you been? It is so early in the morning.

And what do you have there?

And

what is with your clothes…

and your hair?

I am going to stay at Gyesu Infirmary from now on and learn medicine.

Learn medicine?

Eun-woo.

You just escaped that horrible family.

So why are you doing this…

Do you even know how hard it is to be a female physician?

Why can you not just try to live a happy life?

Happiness looks different for everybody.

Ever since you were young, you found joy in learning martial arts.

And I loved reading books and solving criminal cases.

But you are a noblewoman. Will you really practice medicine?

Your father will never allow it.

He actually did.

He allowed it?

I cannot do anything now

as a noblewoman.

But if I become a physician,

I can begin a new chapter of my life. It excites me.

From now on, I want to do the things I want to do,

the way I want to do them.

Surprise!

Oh, my!

You scared me half to death.

Really? You like him that much?

I can almost see hearts shooting out of your eyes.

You know, servants usually hate their masters.

You are a weird one.

What? What are you crying about?

-What? He is crying. -He is crying.

-Hey. -The wild boar is crying.

No.

-I think you are crying. -I am not.

-You are crying. -I told you, I am not.

Stop it, seriously.

It is just, you know,

he used to treat the king, and now he is…

I mean, when he was in the Royal Infirmary,

it was such a hassle

because everybody wanted him to perform acupuncture on them.

But now he cannot even use his needles.

Gosh.

If he could just fix the tremor in his hands,

the people in Hanyang would call him back right away.

Move aside.

I have a question for you.

Which physician is an expert in treating hand tremors?

Hand tremors?

-Let me feel her pulse first. -No, you cannot.

It is wrong for a man to hold a woman's wrist.

Can you not just estimate it?

How are your symptoms?

She plays the geomungo sometimes, just for me,

but her hands tremble every time she plays,

so it is a bit bothersome.

I will pay as much money as you want for the treatment.

So please get the most expensive medicine for her.

I think you should work on building your strength

by eating some meat.

But if the tremors do not stop,

I will prescribe some deer antlers.

-Next. -Thank you, sir.

Gosh, he is so nice to her.

-Move. -He is so caring.

But he did not let her say a single word.

"Get the most expensive medicine for her."

How touching of him.

I am so jealous.

I wish I could date a guy like him.

He is very rich, not to mention very kind and caring.

Hey, Ip-boon.

Snap out of it.

Money is not the only thing that matters.

Right. Rich people are usually criminals.

You are always insulting the nice and cool people.

You should eat meat for hand tremors.

You should eat meat for hand tremors.

He cannot even memorize that one thing?

What an idiot.

My lady.

Are you hurt somewhere?

Get on my back.

How dare you stand in your master's way?

How dare you glare at a nobleman like that?

That insolent swine.

Let us go.

Here.

You rude bastard.

Oh, no!

Oh, no! What are you doing?

The young master's hand tremors are not getting better

because all he eats are vegetables.

That was the reason.

What are the rest of us supposed to eat then?

If you are so broken up about it, then go catch a rabbit or something.

That is true.

The King of the Ocean wanted a rabbit when he was sick too.

Do not be ridiculous.

I said that because rabbits are the easiest to catch.

The King of the Ocean wanted a rabbit.

What?

What…

It is too cute to eat.

I do not want it.

Young Master, rabbits have always been…

You know.

Even the King of the Ocean told his servants

to get him a rabbit when he was sick.

Folk remedies are worth trying too.

That is not a folk remedy. It is a folk religion.

I will just take some gongjin pills.

You want some rabbit stew?

Rabbit dumplings are good too.

The dumplings are the best.

Honestly, I never liked eating meat.

Really?

When you were in Hanyang,

you were completely obsessed with beef.

How did you eat those cows? I mean, their eyes are so cute.

Can we keep the rabbit?

-Can we? -No.

-Can we? -No.

-No. -Can we keep it?

Put the carrot away. What are you doing?

-Can we? -No.

-Please? -No.

-I want the rabbit. -No.

My goodness, no, you cannot.

Hand tremors?

You need some good medicine for that, like gastrodia elata.

I think I am almost there.

In the wild, you will find them deep in the mountains.

But you might run into a tiger.

No. I am the most fearless person alive.

Oh, my.

He could have told me what they look like, at least.

He said they are in the mountains. That is useless.

Look at this. This is the wrong thing.

Wait, I think this might be it.

What the heck is going on there?

My lady, you need to get up.

You need to come with me.

Come on, we need to go.

Do you really wish to die?

I get what you are saying, so just let go of my hand.

Wait.

I thought I saw you somewhere.

You are the lady who visited our infirmary a while ago, right?

Is your ankle bothering you?

I will take you to the infirmary right away.

And who are you?

Please let go of me.

She wants you to let go.

What do you think you are doing to your master?

It is none of your business. Get lost.

"Get lost"?

Hey, why do you keep glaring at me?

You know, people used to call me the Rock Fist.

You are kidding me.

I am not going to feel bad about this

because you hit me first, all right?

Oh, no.

Wait a minute.

We will have to stop by the government office first.

Where is the boar?

Yes. He should be jumping around

in excitement by now.

Jang-goon, go find Man-bok.

-All right. -Do you not have anything better to do?

Do not worry about him missing his meals.

He loves his food. I am sure that he will show up soon.

That is true.

On the day Man-bok skips a meal…

Ji-han will stop drinking.

And dogs will stop pooping.

-What? -Just be quiet!

I will explain yin and yang to you after dinner then.

I want to learn more until Man-bok comes back.

-Then shall we? -Yes.

All right.

You do not have to learn yin and yang from a book.

There he is!

What is this?

Arrest him at once!

What? Why?

Why are you arresting me?

Hey, let go of me!

I did not do anything!

I know nothing about this! I am innocent!

Man-bok!

Young Master.

What happened to you, Man-bok?

I heard that there were some gastrodia elata in the mountain,

so I went to dig some up for you, and…

Why were you looking for some? I am not even ill.

I heard it is good for hand tremors.

Young Master, I did not kill anybody.

You know that, right?

Of course I do. I trust you.

Even if they torture you,

you cannot confess to something that you did not do.

I will prove your innocence, so just wait for me.

Yes, Young Master.

Do you remember what happened?

Anything at all.

Let go of me.

Do you really wish to die?

I…

I saw that lady with the hand tremors before I passed out.

That servant was dragging her away to kill her.

That is what happened.

This man is Mr. Jeong's servant, Gae-ban.

It looks like he died

after getting a hatchet to the head.

Right now, Man-bok definitely looks like the perpetrator.

May I take a look at the hatchet?

Since the strike was to the head, the attack was probably fueled by hatred.

Man-bok could not have done this.

Look at this.

I can see why the murderer struck his head so violently.

Those are constriction marks, are they not?

Yes.

It may look like he was killed by a hatchet to the head,

but he was actually strangled to death.

Why would the perpetrator try to hide that?

They were trying to throw off the investigation.

They wanted to make Man-bok look like the murderer.

Well, you need to release Man-bok.

I cannot release the most likely suspect because of some presumptions.

That is a shame.

Even though the victim was a slave, it is still murder.

Man-bok will be executed.

Damn it.

Hey, snap out of it.

If you do not, then your servant is going to die for sure.

He is not my servant. Man-bok is--

I do not want to hear it. Get ready.

We are going to the house this guy used to live at.

Mr. Jeong's house.

Let us do some digging.

Mr. Jeong must have been so shocked after hearing such terrible news.

I came here right after I heard about what happened.

You, too. Your eyes are unfocused,

and your lips are dry.

Your skin is rough. Your organs are malfunctioning.

For today, though, I am doing a special acupuncture deal.

One plus one for the needles.

Gyesu Infirmary is trying to lighten the burdens of its neighbors.

I am saying that I will treat you too.

I mean, who even are you?

It is not like this is a party. What are you doing here?

The government sent us.

Mr. Seo sent us physicians to this house

in order to protect the family of the victims.

Mr. Seo?

Come on, move aside. Do you want to disobey Mr. Seo's orders?

Right. You want to disobey him?

I mean, Mr. Jeong…

Good job.

You must be distraught after what happened to your family member.

"Family member"?

I am a nobleman and he was a lowly slave.

Why is the government office

kicking up such a fuss over a slave's death?

Of course it is not about the slave.

He sent us because he was concerned about you, sir.

You are the wisest and most dependable man in Sorak County, after all.

Well, he was never an obedient one.

I did not like the way he looked at me, you see.

I am glad he is dead.

So you do not need to worry about me.

I have been wanting him gone for a long time now.

I am guessing that Gae-ban was a troublemaker, then.

Do not even get me started.

I am telling you, he is better off dead.

Here. Just place the needle.

I was planning on selling him anyway.

So I just want my money back, that is all.

How are you feeling?

Hand tremors are often influenced by your mental condition.

The shock you just experienced probably made the tremors worse.

Shock? That is nonsense.

She has been lying here the entire time

after she visited the infirmary.

The deer antlers should help, do you not think?

I am going to feel your pulse.

My goodness.

I told you, it is improper.

It would be fine for a female doctor.

There are not any female doctors who have truly mastered medicine.

Just prescribe some good deer antlers for her.

She is eating premium beef every single day.

Lady Hyo-yeon.

You were there when Gae-ban died, right?

I told you, she was at home.

I am talking to the lady.

Please, give me an answer.

If you had been there,

you must have seen a servant. He is a big man.

He is like family to me.

Hey.

He is being framed as Gae-ban's murderer right now.

He could be executed. Please.

If you were there, please tell me what happened.

-Look here. -Lady Hyo-yeon.

Ban…

Ban…

Ban…

"Ban"?

She had a nickname for him?

Lady Hyo-yeon.

Calm down.

As I have told you before,

Lady Hyo-yeon has been sick this entire time.

Right?

You were lying in this room yesterday too, were you not?

Because you are ill and Mr. Jeong worries about you, right?

Yes, that is right.

What would you like to do?

Mr. Yoo looks like he still has some questions for you.

Is it fine if he keeps asking you questions?

Or would you like him to leave?

I want to rest a bit.

Lady Hyo-yeon, you still have not given me a response.

Please tell me what happened yesterday.

What is going on here?

How dare you come in here without my permission?

Get out, now!

Mr. Yoo.

I am sorry about that.

You see, Gae-ban did so many horrible things.

That is why Lady Hyo-yeon does not even want to think about him.

So that is why Mr. Jeong…

Yes.

Do not tell anybody I said this,

but he once suspected

that Gae-ban had a crush on

Lady Hyo-yeon.

Did he really?

Of course not.

I will be back.

I will bring deer antlers so she can regain her strength.

Mr. Jeong ordered me to never let you in again.

Good night, then.

You said that you would let a proficient female physician

feel Lady Hyo-yeon's pulse.

You did not forget that, did you?

If such a female doctor really does exist,

I will be sure to call her right away.

The boar killed somebody.

The boar killed somebody.

-That is not true. -The boar killed somebody.

He is not the type to kill people.

You know,

He cried because he killed an ant while chopping firewood.

He is a big softie. I bet he is crying in his cell every day.

They arrested the wrong person.

He will be back in no time, asking for more food.

He better not complain about the side dishes.

What happened? I thought you were going to rescue him.

It will be hard.

None of this would have happened

if you had eaten that damn rabbit, Se-poong.

Mr. Yoo, I need to talk to you.

We need Lady Hyo-yeon

to save Man-bok.

And there is only one way to find out the truth from Lady Hyo-yeon.

I must become a proficient female physician.

You said that you would let a proficient female physician

feel Lady Hyo-yeon's pulse.

You did not forget that, did you?

So that is what you meant.

You are planning on doing it yourself.

However, it takes a very long time to master medicine.

Man-bok will be executed before then.

Mr. Yoo.

Do you not know this?

"It is not because you cannot. It is because you will not."

The teaching by Mencius…

There is another one.

"If you start learning something, do not give up until mastering it."

That is from Doctrine of the Mean, Chapter 20.

Alright.

Let us do it.

But medical texts are much harder than Confucian texts.

This will be challenging.

Of course.

Let us tackle this one first.

I am not going to sleep until I am done.

No, you should sleep.

After my special cram session,

you will learn medicine faster than anybody else.

The medical texts say that

in regards to body shapes,

thinness is preferable over obesity

and healthy skin is better than yellow skin.

Also, the treatment method is different for everyone.

Gokji.

GOKJI

Try finding susamri.

Right here.

Now, try finding hapgok.

HAPGOK

Good job.

This drawing shows the 12 meridian vessels.

At this rate, I am sure you will be able to learn it before sunset.

This diagram shows the inside of the human body.

A person's body is just like a country.

Therefore, when the heart is not working,

the foundation of the body is at risk,

so you must be very, very careful.

Ouch!

There are ways to keep yourself healthy through the seasons.

In the spring and summer, you should sleep late and get up early.

In the fall, you should sleep early and get up early.

Rehmannia radix and Rehmannia glutinosa.

The black Rehmannia glutinosa and fresh Rehmannia radix

are the same thing.

Pick up the Rehmannia glutinosa.

If you wash Rehmannia, then squeeze it, steam it, and dry it

until it becomes black and shiny,

it becomes Rehmannia glutinosa.

Rehmannia glutinosa is sweet and delicious like candy.

Young Master.

I wonder if Man-bok is sleeping well.

I mean, he usually falls asleep pretty quickly,

but he is picky about what he wears.

He used to fix my clothes for me whenever I looked disheveled,

saying that people would talk badly about me.

That is why your clothes have been…

I thought I have been dressing pretty decently.

Let us try our hardest to save Man-bok.

Yanggye, yangji, and yanggok.

Try finding them.

Yanggye.

Yangji.

Yanggok.

I am sure that Man-bok is doing just fine.

This might sound strange,

but Man-bok is the only family that I have left.

Try finding onyoo.

Do you not have any siblings?

No.

I have no siblings. My mother passed away,

and my father…

Man-bok is the only person that I have left.

You should eat.

Are you feeling bad for me right now?

Try finding joktonggok.

It is around here.

Lady Hyo-yeon is a lot like you.

-Me? -Yes.

Wait, I mean,

I am talking about the way you used to be.

You acted like you had nobody left in the world to rely on.

Is it not strange?

Her betrothed cares so much for her,

and Mr. Jeong seems like he loves her as well.

But she looked so lonely to me.

No, I…

I think she is more like you, Mr. Yoo.

Why is that?

She looked a lot like you

when you were trying to save Man-bok.

Ban…

Ban…

What do you mean?

Poong.

Poong…

Poong.

Why did she say it like that?

Why do you think Lady Hyo-yeon

called Gae-ban "Ban"?

Judging by the records alone, it looks like Man-bok killed him.

A slave who lives at Gyesu Infirmary?

What is there to think about?

A slave has committed murder. He should be executed at the very least.

My daughter's betrothed acquired this from Qing.

It is very precious,

so make sure to keep it safe.

From Qing, you say?

I am having trouble dealing with the government office

because my slave was killed.

I do not want to deal with this for very long.

I will make sure to take care of it right away, sir.

You are so reliable, Mr. Im, unlike the stubborn Mr. Seo.

The investigation is not over yet.

There is something fishy about this case.

Mr. Seo.

The King's Court wants to stop all disorderly conduct in this country.

There is no reason to waste so much time on a couple of slaves.

Three days.

If you cannot find new evidence in three days,

the slave will be executed.

I only care about the records,

and the records are telling me that he is the one who killed him.

GYESU INFIRMARY

Stop that!

What is the occasion?

Why are you making all this?

I am making some gongjin pills.

Man-bok needs to stay healthy in prison.

I am cooking some food for Man-bok.

They probably do not give him enough food in there.

These are some rice balls for the boar.

Should you not put something in there for flavor?

If you want it to last for a long time, you can only use salt and sesame oil.

If you add anything else, it will go bad.

You do not know because you have never been imprisoned.

Nam-hae, have you ever been imprisoned?

I killed my ex-husband.

Me too.

What? Really?

No, I have never been married.

Nam-hae gets a lot of requests to make food for prisoners.

This is all for Man-bok? That is amazing.

How can I help?

Here.

-Wrap them up. -All right.

Thank you, everyone.

But these look like they are for a feast.

He said he has a use for them.

Who?

I asked for them.

We are going back to Mr. Jeong's house, right?

What is with that look?

Go back.

Mr. Jeong will actually kill me this time.

Come on.

Just take a peek at the food.

You will not be able to resist it.

No.

I do not want to die over some food.

We are from the law enforcement office.

Oh, yes?

You said that last time too.

You can go right back there.

If you throw away food given by the government…

From the government?

Will it not be problematic?

People are talking about how Lady Hyo-yeon's health

has taken a turn for the worse right before her marriage.

So, the royal inspector who was sent by the King himself

told us to bring you this food.

My goodness, should we just go back?

No, not at all.

If that is the case, then I will ask Mr. Jeong about this

as soon as he comes back. Please just wait a bit.

Let us do this, then.

Mr. Yoo and I will wait outside.

Nam-hae over here will go in and just deliver the food.

A murderer is not allowed to get outside food.

A murderer? Says who?

You have been a constable for so long. How are you so clueless?

I did not bring him in.

Jeez. You guys are all the same.

What?

How horrifying.

You are acting all innocent after killing somebody's property with a hatchet.

That is not true.

I did not kill anybody.

I swear I did not.

Do not make me laugh.

Your head is going to fly in three days.

You know what that means, right?

They are going to chop your head off.

What?

If you threaten my family member again, you are dead.

What are you going to do?

What? You may have been in the Royal Infirmary,

but you are nothing now.

Shut up.

Come on.

You got fired because you were acting so stupid

while supporting the wrong person.

Shut your mouth.

Are you planning on cutting him open once he is dead, too?

You are the nutjob of the Royal Infirmary.

Gye Ji-han, the useless physician.

How dare you?

I will make you crawl on all fours. You know my skills with needles.

How terrifying.

Of course I know.

Those miraculous acupuncture skills of yours

killed the woman you loved too.

You have gotten so tall, Ip-boon.

Do you remember your mother's face?

I thought you were just delivering the food.

What are you doing?

Well, I cannot serve cold food.

What if the royal inspector…

No, His Majesty becomes unhappy with me?

-Still, seriously-- -Eat!

It is good.

It is delicious.

-Can I eat this though? -It is fine.

Eat as much as you want.

Only commoners can understand each other.

I cooked so much because I know you all are working so hard.

Come on, call everybody here.

Hold on.

Look at that.

Be patient.

I want you to eat them warm,

so just hold on.

You cannot.

You said you would leave the geomungo alone.

When we get married next month,

you will be taking care of my household as my wife.

You cannot seriously keep playing something like the geomungo.

This is…

not something I will give up.

Do not talk back to me from now on.

Answer me.

Answer!

Fine.

When you become my wife,

you must always look beautiful and noble.

Do you like it?

But…

How can I wear something so bright

after such a horrible thing happened…

"A horrible thing"?

What are you talking about?

Ban…

I mean…

Gae-ban was killed.

That has nothing to do with us.

You did not go anywhere that day,

and you did not do anything.

Is that not right?

It is all right.

It is all right.

Lady Hyo-yeon.

The ribbon looks beautiful on you.

Is this all right?

We have no choice.

You do whatever you have to do in order to save your patients, right?

I am also going to do whatever I have to do to find evidence.

We need to save Man-bok.

Yes, we do. We need to.

But what are you looking for?

Sir.

Would you like to try some of this?

Sure.

You know, I would have gone to the kitchen eventually.

I am sorry you brought it all the way here.

He kept telling me that you had not gotten to taste the food yet, sir.

-Is it not good? -Yes.

I found it.

PERSONAL SLAVE BAN

This is…

It is Gae-ban's identification.

But his name is Ban, not Gae-ban.

Yes.

The character means "friend" or "companion."

My goodness, Young Master.

What are you doing here instead of treating your patients?

I have already treated them perfectly.

They all went back home.

I knew it. You are the best physician in this country.

You just need to perform acupuncture…

Sorry.

My goodness.

You know, you could have brought me some rice balls or something.

You are still kind of thoughtless, you know that?

I forgot about that.

Wow.

You are the best. Thanks.

Young Master.

Please bury me when I die.

Do not say that.

I told you that I am not letting you die.

It is all right. It is natural for slaves

to get killed and tossed aside.

Honestly, I do not even want a grave.

I just want to get buried in the ground.

I bet the dead guy just got left somewhere.

My god, I hope that

his spirit has moved on by now.

I do not want to meet him after I die and become a ghost too.

Here it is.

You leave it here for a fortnight, and the animals take care of it.

This is a person's body.

How can you just leave him here?

He was just a slave.

-Shin-woo. -Eun-woo.

Why…

How long have you been waiting?

I want to ask you something.

Is the execution happening so quickly

because both the victim and the prisoner are slaves?

It would be the same even if they were not slaves.

I only pass the judgment,

and that judgment is based on the evidence.

Can you not push back the execution?

There is no motive for murder here.

You cannot just call him a murderer

because he was discovered next to the corpse.

There may be no motive, but the evidence is there.

I have already filed a report to the King's Court. I cannot delay it.

Not unless new evidence is discovered.

But this is all so fast.

You know, I might ask your father to call you back home.

I do not want you to get involved in these situations with the physician.

You used to be so bright and happy, Eun-woo.

Shin-woo.

Nobody is born bright and happy.

I shall take my leave.

One, two, three.

My lady, we are physicians from Gyesu Village…

We visited you a while ago.

We will be coming in.

The left vein in her wrist feels empty.

Her pulse has gaps as well.

Her hands are trembling because her heart is weak.

We must use acupuncture and moxibustion to help her regain strength,

and then she needs some tonic.

Shall we perform acupuncture next?

Right.

You know how to perform acupuncture as well?

Of course.

Have you always been so proficient in medicine?

I am envious.

Nobody is born a certain way.

People must choose what they want,

then change in that direction.

It has not been that long since I learned medicine.

Could you…

go somewhere with us?

We found this where Gae-ban used to live.

PERSONAL SLAVE BAN

This is his identification, right?

"Ban,"

meaning friend, comrade,

and companion.

The "ban" in Gae-ban originally meant “food,”

making his name mean "dog food."

Mr. Jeong probably gave him that name out of spite

after tossing him some food.

Here, eat this.

From now on, I shall call you Gae-ban.

It means "dog food."

But you, Lady Hyo-yeon,

called him Ban, not Gae-ban.

BAN

This is your name.

It means "best of friends,"

does it not?

Because you grew up together like best friends.

Eun-woo assumed that

a friend of his who had grown up with him

helped him get that identification.

Is that right?

Ban.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I remember now.

I was there

when Ban died.

Perhaps…

I am the one who killed him.

I will confess everything to the government office.

Just give me one day.

Lady Hyo-yeon.

I am glad that you are feeling better.

But I cannot have you

collapsing again.

Let us go back home.

Lady Hyo-yeon has something to confess.

That is enough.

A person's life depends on this.

I care about my lover much more than some stupid slaves.

So you are threatening your precious lover with your pathetic money?

Mr. Yoo.

Did you say "pathetic money"?

Your pathetic slave

strangled our pathetic slave to death.

I want some compensation.

But are you not doing this

because you do not have money?

How sad.

Let us go.

Come on.

Please do what you said you would do, Lady Hyo-yeon.

Stop.

Why the long faces?

Is it not a bit early to be mourning?

What the hell are you doing here?

You do not know?

I came here on this fancy litter to piss you off.

Have you heard?

The executioner in Woohwang

is sharpening his sword.

Make sure to come to the execution tomorrow between 5 and 7 p.m.

and pick up his head.

You little…

What are you going to do?

You stupid old woman. Get away from me.

Now that I have delivered that wonderful news,

I am leaving.

No need to see me off.

Bye.

Do you think Lady Hyo-yeon will come to the execution?

We have no choice but to trust what she said.

What do you mean trust?

You two are too naive and kind.

Naive? Poong and his girlfriend?

No, they are not.

GAE-BAN

GIL-SOO

So please get the most expensive medicine for her.

HYO-YEON

I was there.

What do you think you are doing to your master?

GAE-BAN, GIL-SOO

Were you not lying in this room yesterday too?

Do you really wish to die?

I might have killed him.

I did not kill anybody.

WE MUST PROTECT MAN-BOK AND HYO-YEON

That is what we know so far.

Jeez.

Can we not just tell the officers that Lady Hyo-yeon did it?

You said she confessed, right?

Do you really think she killed Gae-ban, though?

They were like siblings, right?

I thought Gae-ban was a bit rebellious, not like a slave, you know?

Do you think

he did something bad because he loved Lady Hyo-yeon?

Hey.

Let us not make this into some kind of trashy love story.

Gae-ban or that handsome nobleman, they are both trashy love stories.

I do not think that lady could have lifted a hatchet.

Well, he was strangled to death with a rope, not killed with a hatchet.

So it is not impossible.

What? It was not a hatchet?

That is what people were saying at the market.

They were saying that Man-bok

had finally killed a man

with those enormous arms of his.

The law enforcement office never announced the cause of death.

They just let people talk amongst themselves.

Then…

How did Gil-soo…

Your pathetic slave

strangled our pathetic slave to death.

He definitely knew

that he had been strangled to death.

It is time to catch the perpetrator.

Time to catch the perpetrator!

-Why are you here again? -I am a physician. What do you think?

I am here to see if Mr. Jeong is doing well.

Mr. Jeong.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I need to meet your daughter.

We are too late.

They have already left.

Let us put up flyers.

That handsome guy was the bad guy after all.

We do not have the time to draw and make the flyers.

Ip-boon can draw them.

I cannot remember much about him, other than that he was handsome.

Jang-goon can remember anything.

Jang-goon, did you see his face?

Did you?

His eyes look a lot meaner.

No.

-That looks nothing like him. -Damn it.

That is also wrong. It looks weird.

That doesn’t look like him.

Nope.

Good job.

That is it.

A bit darker.

You are almost there.

That is it.

-Great. -Alright.

My lady, we just need to go over this hill.

I will make sure that you are happy forever.

so just keep walking for me.

Please let me go.

Please.

Come on.

If you let me go,

I will not tell anybody about what happened.

You will not tell anybody?

Tell them what?

You did not see anything, remember?

Are you crying?

This is all your fault. You have no right to cry.

This would not have happened if you had not played the geomungo.

You are the one who put me in this situation.

Do you understand?

I am trying to stop myself from killing you here,

and you are crying?

I am sorry.

I should not have done that.

Please forgive me.

You are everything to me.

I would do anything for you.

I no longer fear death.

What I am afraid of

is losing you.

So, please keep walking.

Have you seen her?

Have you seen these people?

Have you seen them?

Just look at it.

Go away.

Hey.

That stupid old woman.

She is a pretty noblewoman.

Look, he has these scary eyes.

You have not seen them?

-No, I have not. -No.

SON, YOO SE-YEOP

SON, YOO SE-YEOP

Hey, idiot.

Somebody saw Gil-soo on a path leading to Sorak Port.

Sorak Port? The merchants from Qing frequent that place.

A ship from Qing comes in

between 3 and 5 p.m. on the 15th of each month.

He used to be a merchant from Qing,

-so he must know that. -The 15th? That is today.

-What? -If it is between 3 and 5 p.m.

we do not have much time.

GOVERNMENT OFFICE

Shin-woo.

I heard that we can utilize the horses and officers

with the royal inspector's permission.

Government resources cannot be used for personal matters.

We are doing this for a fair enforcement of the law.

These matters are not personal.

And that murderer is holding Lady Hyo-yeon as hostage.

The law is the law,

and I shall follow it.

Shin-woo.

Please trust me.

He is the real murderer. We must catch him.

If I am wrong, then I will accept any punishment.

Who do you think you are?

You shocked everyone last time as well by requesting he be released.

This is not just about an individual's punishment.

This is a matter of life or death.

I cannot give up now.

If you help me,

I will do whatever you tell me to do.

Do you know where Gae-ban's corpse is?

Get up.

You said it is urgent, right?

I will lend you a horse.

The execution will take place between 5 and 7 p.m. as planned.

You need to catch him by then.

Move!

-Move out of the way. -Move!

Help…

-Man-bok. -Man-bok.

-Please help me. -Man-bok.

-Man-bok. -Man-bok.

Man-bok.

I will be back.

You can ride a horse too?

We are running out of time. We should go.

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

YOO SE-YEOP

Stop!

-Get out of my way! -Stop this.

Young Master!

Did you find Se-yeop?

Kill him.

I shall survive, even if I must uncover every secret hidden here.

You said that he was seeing things?

Has this happened before?

A bruise. It is another wound.

Who hit him?

I have a question for you, madam!

You know, you really need to learn some tact.

I told you to not get involved with that physician.

We need to save Seok-chul.

Is that not why you said you would visit the patient?

Will you help me?
