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

It looks like the needle
that changed colors.

So, that needle

belonged to Yoo Se-yeop?

What is wrong?

Shin-woo?

I will come back later.

Why did Yoo Hoo-myung

hold onto this needle that killed the King

even while he was dying?

The head injury that killed him

was definitely not caused
by falling off a horse.

Then his death was not caused by accident,
but by homicide?

There is food!

There are a lot.

Gosh, look at all this.

What is that?

Hey, look at this.

I found honey.

-That looks so good.
-That looks amazing.

We can all eat it later.

Hey, take it easy.

What do you think?

What kind of patient
calls the physician to a brothel?

Hey, you are supposed to come
when your patient calls,

you stupid physician.

You arrogant bastard.

I have not forgotten about
how you screwed me over

right in front of Ji-han.

Well, if you want to stay in one piece,

you need to do something for me.

No.

Would you look at this fool?

Hey, are you actually an idiot?

Or is this some weird sense of loyalty?

How come you trust Ji-han so much?

Do you not know what kind of person he is?

Of course I do.

He loves to drink
and loves money even more.

That is not the end of it, though.

He used to be called the Crazy Murderer.

I heard he cut open
somebody's stomach during the war,

and fed poisonous plants to people.

That is exactly right.

Ji-han is a crazy bastard.

He does not care about other people.

How about this? Kick him out,

and take over Gyesu Infirmary.

If you do that,
I will watch your back for you.

I do not want to
take over Gyesu Infirmary,

and I do not need anyone to watch my back.

Hey, you little…

Do you have any idea
how valuable that land is?

I just do not want it
to go to waste, that is all.

Even if Ji-han is a lost cause,

you out of all people
should see some sense.

You have decided, have you not?

He fed poisonous plants to people?

Unbelievable.

It is the plague!

It is the plague!

Let us go back inside.

Run! It is the plague.

It is the plague!

-It is the plague.
-Go inside.

Help me, please.

What is going on?
Is he suffering from psychosis?

PSYCHOSIS: LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY

After we lost all of our kids

to the plague,

he goes crazy
whenever he hears the word "plague".

Yes, the plague!

The plague is spreading.

Let me take a look. I am a physician.

What if he actually goes crazy?

Look, I already have boils.

Please save me.

Come on, do something.

Please help him.

Will you please help him?

The plague is spreading.

Let us wrap things up and go.

I think the plague is spreading.

I just saw a patient
who had boils on his skin.

Yes. That is what I suspected
when all these people came running.

We need to brew digestive medicine
and cold medicine.

Eun-woo, please tell your father
and the inspector about the plague.

Yes.

If you have boils, come stand over here.
If you do not, stand over there.

Yes, do what he said.

What? The plague?

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

The patients are swarming
to the infirmary.

None of the other regions
are suffering from the plague.

We must block the roads
to prevent it from spreading

to the neighboring areas and Hanyang.

You are right.

I will come up with a countermeasure.
Distribute the vaccines to the villagers.

All right. Let us hurry.

We must focus on distributing
the vaccines in Sorak.

We will need more herbs
from the neighboring counties.

I am telling you, we are all sold out.

People are dying out there.

How can you not have
any honeysuckle or indigo?

I am telling you,

I seriously do not have anything.

Then give me all of the skullcap
and goldthread.

Somebody bought them all as well.

Who bought them?

Sir, please help us!

You are an herbalist!
How can you run out of herbs?

You are the only herbalist in town!

Hey, move it.

Put them in the innermost storeroom.

I better not notice any missing.

If I do, your head will go missing too.

I am going to get so rich!

How dare you lay your filthy hand on me?

Did you really buy all of the herbs?

You think people's lives are a joke?

That is funny coming from you.

You are Ji-han the Nutjob, after all.

You do not care about people's lives.

Stop it with the nonsense.

I will pay you exactly what you paid
for those herbs, so give them to me.

Are you actually crazy?

You see, the price changed a bit
since I bought them.

They are now
at five times the original price.

You got the money for that?

You darn thief.

You useless killer physician.

Fine. I will give you those herbs,

if you give me Gyesu Infirmary.

Is that what this is about?

I will never allow that to happen.

Fine, then.

You can just watch all those people die

while eating some popped corn then.

What?

Do not do it.

How dare you?

There was a fly.

I was catching the fly for you.

My goodness.

I will look for those herbs
somewhere else.

Let us go. He is useless.

Yes.

Do not waste your energy.

Just bring me the land certificate
for Gyesu Infirmary.

Here.

That is all we have left.

This will not do.

All of you, come inside.

We need to get as much
of the cure as we can.

Which means tonight,

we are getting all of the herbs
from Soon-man's storeroom.

Jang-goon.

Hide the land certificate.

Are you really going to give
Gyesu Infirmary to that man?

You cannot!

Where are we going, then?

Who said I was going to do that?
Absolutely not.

We are just getting the herbs.

Dad, did you hit your head?

Or do you have a fever?

Have you met Soon-man?
He will never give them to us.

Did you not learn your lesson
a few hours ago?

You really do not look like it,

but you can be pretty naive sometimes.

We should steal them. Come on.

We are going to steal everything
from his storeroom.

I can do it too.

I agree with this plan.

-There is no way.
-Right?

We are going to steal everything
from his storeroom,

tonight!

Come get some hangover stew!

That prick loves to drink.

Every night, when the curfew bell rings,

he receives hangover stew
and a bottle of alcohol.

Come get some hangover stew!

That is going to be our chance.

ALCOHOL

Who are you?

We have hangover stew.

We are delivering stew
from Namhansanseong.

For Lord Im?

The delivery goes to the kitchen.

That smells good.

Is that expensive?

Of course it is. We put abalones in there.

But you can each have a bowl,

if you will tell your friends about us.

Of course we will.

Here.

Have some rice wine first.

Rice wine.

Thief!

They took the herbs from the storeroom.

Thief!

Thief!

We are dead. Chase them.

Thief!

What?

My herbs.

My herbs.

Where did they go?

My precious herbs!

Those pricks.

Those evil thieves!

The thieves are running away, sir.

You are telling me?

Go after them!

Hurry.

Right.

-Get them!
-Chase them down!

-Stop right there!
-Catch them!

Catch those darn thieves!

Come on, hurry up!

Quickly!

Go after them!

-They are all on the cart.
-Good.

Now…

Well, at least I am giving you
more than the original amount.

Let us go.

Eun-woo.

-Get them.
-Get them.

-Thief!
-Stop them!

-Do not get them mixed up.
-Yes.

Hey.

Are you all right?

That man would pursue with all his might
if it meant his money was on the line.

You seemed to be very worried about me.

Worried about you? No way.

Look at this.

I found this in Soon-man's storeroom.

This is…

the hang sedge.

Yes. They are hard to find,

but he had a whole lot
of them, that prick.

These will be fantastic for measles.

Right.

We should make them into pills overnight
to use tomorrow.

All right.

Lift your head a bit.

Here.

Hey, you!

You stole my herbs, did you not?

What on earth are you talking about?

And what is that wrapped around your face?
Are you that scared of the plague?

You could line up to get some medication.

Give me money for the herbs.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

But I could make a report,
saying that somebody stole the herbs

that you had stocked up.

I could even write an appeal for you
if you want.

Darn it. Go away.

Get away from me.

You.

I am going to kick you out
of this village soon, all right?

Even a tiger would not eat
someone so rotten like him.

Is that all we have?

We have four geuns and two nyangs.

and we made four geun into pills.
So we have two nyangs left.

I hope that they will be effective.

Thank you.

-Thanks.
-Sure.

Give that back. You already had one.

Jeez.

My goodness.

Too much of a good thing
can become poisonous.

How are you feeling?

Mr. Gye.

Look at this.

I think it is working.

We need some more of the Hang sedge.

Right.

The boils became lighter in color.

If he has measles,
he should be getting scabs.

But those are purple blisters.

No, there is no way.
It must be a coincidence.

The dan sedges were all burnt.

Please help.

Please help my brother.

Please help him.

Let me look at him.

Have you been with him this entire time?

And you are feeling fine?

She did not get the plague
although she was with him.

That means…

We must quarantine the sick
in the mountain hut right away.

If we dawdle, the plague
will spread to the capital.

What will you do if that happens?

We are quarantining
the patients right now.

We do not know if it really is the plague,
or what kind of plague it is.

Besides, the new medicine is working.

We need to observe the patients more.

They think we are abandoning them
in the mountains.

Well, are we all supposed
to die with them then?

Since they have the plague,
they will die anyway.

It does not matter where they are.

They will die anyway.

They can die without taking us with them.

Mr. Gye.

What do you think about this?

I agree with you, sir.

Mr. Gye.

If this is not the plague,

they will make a full recovery
in the mountain hut.

But if this is the plague,

then quarantining them in the mountain hut

is the only way to save
the rest of the village.

Really? What has gotten into you?

We cannot do that.
It is too early to decide.

One of the patients

has died.

Well, look at that.

Looks like your medication is not working.

Bury the dead,

and take the sick to the mountain hut.

-Now.
-Yes, sir.

A hut has been set up
in the mountains for the sick.

If you have the plague,

you must go there now.

Are you going to set us on fire?

Please do not send us away.

We took the medicine.
We feel a lot better now.

This is an order from the government.

If you do not obey,
you will be punished according to the law.

Take them away.

Hold on.

Help me.

Hold on.

Please let me talk to him.

How is he?

I do not think the Hang sedge
was the cure.

Am I going to die now?

That was not the cure?

No. I am not going to give up on you.

We will find the cure. I promise.

You are lying.

You are lying!

You are just going to run away!

How can you call yourselves physicians?

You are no physicians!

If this is happening
because of the dan sedge, not the plague…

You cruel bastards!

HAEDONG BOOK OF HERBS

How dare you?

I am sorry,

Mr. Jeon.

I heard Gyu-hyeong tricked the people

by saying that he could cure leprosy
with the dan sedge.

Yes, sir. He left the Royal Infirmary
to grow dan sedges here all by himself.

Burn every last page

of his research about the dan sedge.

Nobody can know about this plant.

HAEDONG BOOK OF HERBS

Since they filed a report,
Councilor Cho will know about this soon.

They must believe it is the plague.

If they start thinking
that it is because of the sedge,

they will kill everybody in this village.

If it really was the dan sedge,

the corpse will start to swell
after six hours

and purple blisters will appear.

What are you doing?

Move. I do not have much time.

I do not understand.
Why are you doing this?

Is it because you think a disease
other than the plague is causing this?

Get lost if you are going
to keep spewing that nonsense.

Why can you not tell me
what you are doing?

If we leave the patients
in the mountains, they will die.

You must know that.

You know nothing.

Do not give me that.

Tell me what is going on,
so we can solve it.

People call you a nutjob

because you are always running around
like this at night.

You cannot know about this.

Move aside.

Come with me.

We must save those who can still be saved.

Do you really think you are so special?

You think you can save everybody?

You arrogant fool.

No.

But I want to stay next to the patients.

Nothing is worse than dying

without ever getting the chance
to be treated by a physician.

Really?

Did you save the King

while you were sitting next to him
like a coward?

You are just a stupid physician

who could not save his patient
because of his arrogance.

Move! I am busy.

They are purple. And this shape…

This is not the plague.

It has to be the dan sedge.

What on earth is he hiding?

You are so annoying.

Go away, will you?

You should not be doing
something like this.

What brings you here at this hour?

I am here to see Mr. Gye.

I must talk to him
about the patients in the mountains.

Dad, get out here. The inspector is here.

I will go to the mountain hut.

-I need your permission.
-Young Master.

What did you just say?

If you go there, you cannot
come back out unless you are dead.

Why?

Are you planning
on burning the place down?

I am still going.

I will not leave them to die.

What a special physician you are.

You can go if you want.

Mr. Cho.

He does not know what he is talking about.
He is just upset.

What has gotten into you?

Is this because of yesterday?

A physician should never

give up on his patients.

You are so stubborn.

Everyone is saying that you should not go.

You should not have
to do this, Young Master.

You can put that down and head back.

Young Master.

Hey, I am not going to die.

Here. It is dried meat.

You need to eat well
to avoid the plague, right?

Are you really giving this to me?

This is truly a special occasion.

I will remember this forever.

I have something for Mr. Yoo.

He cannot treat the patients
if he does not have this.

Is that all right with you?

DO NOT ENTER

Eun-woo.

Mr. Yoo.

You do not look well.

I think you are overworking yourself.

Eun-woo, this disease is
nothing like I have ever seen,

and the blisters are different
from those mentioned in medical texts.

It might be a completely
different kind of disease.

What?

Please go to Suri-gol
where the disease first broke out

and look into this.

All right. Please take care of yourself.

You too.

What is it?

You should read it first, sir.

A plague?

Purple blisters…

Lord Cho, please allow us
to burn down the hut in Sorak.

The symptoms sound like

they could be the symptoms
of dan sedge poisoning.

But those remaining plants
were all burned.

The ones that we did not get
may have grown back, sir.

I cannot say anything for sure,

but I think we should be careful.

You should have wiped out
every single one of them.

You should have made sure
that not a single trace was left behind!

Hey.

Why are you running?
I am not going to hurt you.

Let me go. I am not sick.

You must be hungry.

You can have this.

Are you the only person here
who is not ill?

Before the disease,

what did you and the other adults do
to make a living?

We dug up herbs and plants,
and picked honey to sell to the village.

Honey?

Do you have any more biscuits?

Can I have more if I bring honey?

Mr. Gye.

Lady Eun-woo.

How come we have so many patients

even after quarantining the others?

That is what I would like to know.

I went to Suri-gol earlier today.

Do you know

what kind of flower this is?

A boy gave me some honey
that was made from this flower's pollen,

so I ate a little bit of it…

And I think I might have a headache.

My lady, you must take
some cold medicine right now.

What…

What is going on?

Mr. Yoo.

Are you all right?

We are all going to die.

We are all going to die here!

Shut up! Stop saying that nonsense!

You prick.

Stop it.

Stop it.

This is…

You idiot.

What are you doing?

I thought you were going to cure
all of the sick people in the world.

Come here.

How did you get in here?

I am not a nerd like you.
I can come in here whenever I want to.

What has gotten into you?
Your patients are suffering out there.

How are you a physician?

I cannot do anything for them.

I am giving them medicine,

but their symptoms
are changing too quickly.

Snap out of it.

Are you not better than this?

Before, I could never stop you
from going around

and finding those weird herbs.

And now you are going to ignore
your patients here?

You are acting like an idiot.

You need to save them.

You cannot give up and find a cure.

If I thought the cure was out there,
I would have done anything to get it.

When the physician gives up
on the patient, it is over.

You must believe
that your patient will get better.

Lady Eun-woo has those blisters as well.

She does?

When did this happen?

Today.

Would you really do anything

to find the cure?

Of course.

You know something, do you not?

Tell me.

I have seen this illness before.

Really?

Why did you not say anything, then?

Because it is fatal.

Why?

Is there no cure?

There is, but it might as well not exist.

Why?

It is called mock strawberry,
and it is too poisonous.

If we use it, the patient might die.

The Haedong Book of Herbs.

Mock strawberry plants.

"The plants died a month after sprouting

as they could not grow
in the soil of Joseon."

Have you…

read the Haedong Book of Herbs?

Yes. I read it because
I had never seen it before.

Besides, that book is the link
between you and my father.

He does not know
about the sedge, does he?

If mock strawberry plants
can cure this disease,

I will go and find them.

-You cannot find them in the country.
-No.

You missed something.

I found the right conditions
for the plants to grow,

which were abandoned, cold places,

as well as humid and windy places,
and scattered the seeds again.

That means…

that he was growing them somewhere.

THE PLANTS DIED A MONTH AFTER SPROUTING
AS THEY COULD NOT GROW…

I do not know why,

but there was a map hidden in that book.

A hidden map?

Yes.

I will find those plants,

and I will save them.

It has to be somewhere high up,

with cold and humid winds.

I am going to find them.
I swear that I will.

The order said to burn Se-yeop
along with the mountain hut.

Everything is ready, sir.
We are just waiting for your order.

All right.

Eun-woo.

What do you think you are doing?

You cannot go in there.

And what are you doing?

Are you going to burn this hut down?

Do not worry about it.

Go back to the infirmary.

I have the plague as well.

What?

Do you really?

Yes. I am going
to join the other patients.

If you want to set this place on fire,
you will have to kill me too.

No, Eun-woo. I cannot let you go in there.

Go to the infirmary
and have them treat you.

Now.

What is going on here?

Why are you here? Where is Mr. Yoo?

You know how useless he is
without his needles.

So he left to find the herbs

that could cure the plague.

How dare he disobey
the government's orders?

From now on, if anybody disobeys my words,

I shall have them beheaded.

Wait for my orders.

This is the last one.

Please.

Please.

It is all over now.

Why did you abandon your patients?

Abandon them?

I am on my way back
after finding the cure to treat them.

I told you that you cannot leave
the hut until you die.

You disobeyed my orders.
You will pay for that.

I can save the patients.

If you are going to kill me,

do it after using those herbs.

Please.

I will deliver those herbs.

But you need to die here.

Why are you doing this?

This is not because I disobeyed
your orders, is it?

Why do I need to die?

It is nothing personal.

You must die

for the peace of this country
and the royal palace.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Why must I die?

I am sorry.

You have a fever.

You have blisters as well.

Stop talking nonsense.

You have the plague, sir.

Inspector Cho.

Inspector!

They are burning the hut!

They are burning the hut!

You sure got a lot of gall.

We are carrying out the will
of the government.

Move aside!

So His Majesty told you
to lock up the patients in the mountains

and burn them to death?

Cut the nonsense.

Nonsense?

Throw these rebels in jail.

Start with him.

I will protect my patients

until the very end.

If you do anything to them,

then I am going to kill you.

I do not care if I die doing it!

You are so darn loyal.

Do you really have a death wish?

All right, then kill me!

No! Do not hurt my father.

You idiots.

Lock them up.

Link arms!

-Hey!
-Hey!

Do not let them take you!

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

You pricks!

Fine. I will burn it down myself.

Give it to me.

Stop!

All of you, stop.

The idiot is back.

I have the cure.

I can save them all!

Inspector Cho.

What happened?

Inspector Cho has the plague as well.

Lay him down inside.
We must treat him right away.

How dare you?

You little…

Happy now?

Hey, save it. Just go inside.

Mr. Gye.

Dad, this is the cure, right?
Then we should use them right away!

Do not touch those.

I do not want any of you
touching those plants, all right?

Eun-woo.

All right, tell me.
How do we use those plants?

This is not the plague.

Was this illness

caused by the dan sedge?

With the mock strawberry plants
being the cure

and looking at the symptoms
of the illness,

the dan sedge is the only answer.

Am I right?

Yes, you are.

It may be a poisonous plant,

but it is the only plant
that can cure leprosy.

The dan sedge

was mixed with the herbs and honey
that the children brought back.

That is how everyone became ill.

Thank you.

My mentor

used to live in Suri-gol.

We studied the dan sedge there,

and he completed
the Haedong Book of Herbs.

Well, do you know how many
mock strawberry plants you need?

My mentor…

was murdered.

I survived because I was hiding
like a coward.

I told myself

that I had to stay alive

in order to pass on my mentor's teachings.

That is why

I can do nothing but drink all the time.

They are dangerous.

Do you understand?

If we slip up, everybody here could die.

Who on earth did something like that?

If I survive, I will tell you about it.

So you must never speak a word
about the dan sedge.

Mock strawberry plants are the cure.

That is all there is to it.

Fine.

Now, tell me how much of the plant I need.

Eun-woo is very ill.

I am not sure. You need to try
using it on the patient.

What the…

Spit it out.
Even a small amount is deadly.

If it is fresh, not dry,
then it is less poisonous,

and after the blisters appear,

it can be cured
with mock strawberry plants.

Darn it.

Here. Eat it.

You need to stay awake.

Se-yeop.

Se-yeop, get up!

Young Master.

Young Master. Can you hear me?

What happened, Man-bok?

Stay still.

I did it!

What do you mean?

You almost died overnight.

My goodness.

The blisters all disappeared,
but you were not waking up.

I thought you might never wake up, and I…

What about Eun-woo?

Wait…

Young Master, wait…

Eun-woo.

Mr. Yoo.

Eun-woo.

Are you all right now?

Are you sure?

Can you talk and see normally?

We should be worried about you.
You look more ill than she does.

Yes.

I am fine now, thanks to the herb
that you found.

I can see just fine,

and everything else feels fine as well.

Why did you do something
so reckless, though?

Well, you could have died.

I did not have much time.

Why did you save me?

I tried to kill you.

Because you are my patient.

So, Inspector Cho,

please write in your report
that this is not the plague,

but a strange illness
that is not contagious.

If you say that it is the plague,

then they will tell you
to burn down the hut.

Please save the people of this village.

We can cure them.

We must not give up on them.

Will I really be all right

if I drink this?

I drank it too, and I feel all better now.

I heard you found
these plants on an island.

Did you really?

Yes.

There is enough for everybody,
so do not worry.

This…

This plant could have saved them.

My goodness.

Oh, my…

My poor children…

If I had this plant,

no,

if I had somebody like you, Mr. Yoo,

my children would not have died like that.

I am sorry.

My children…

The plague of Sorak County…

Am I right?

Yes, you are.

The dan sedge

was mixed in the herbs and honey
that the children brought back.

That is how everybody got the illness.

…is a strange illness
that is not contagious.

The medicine that was used
before I burned down the hut

turned out to be very effective.

The illness in Sorak
has been completely eliminated now.

I shall take care of the physician,
Yoo Se-yeop, as you ordered.

There is nothing
to worry about in that regard.

One says it was a strange illness,

CHO SHIN-WOO

and the other says it was the dan sedge.

Whom shall I trust?

Why did you try to kill me?

I am a physician who was exiled here

for killing the previous King.

So I do not know why you,

the adopted son
of the all-powerful Councilor Cho,

tried to kill me.

Why did you?

Please, tell me.

Did Councilor Cho…

order you to do it?

Last time, you drew your sword

but you did not manage to cut me down.

Are you…

going to kill me now?

-Do you know this herb?
-My goodness!

If somebody used the dan sedge
on the previous King,

it must be revealed!

If you do that, then you will endanger
every single person in Sorak County.

Do you think it is a coincidence
that Eun-woo got hurt?

He might have sent another assassin.

It is my fault.

-I should have followed her.
-Why would you?

So a tiger cub has the evidence
to prove the King was poisoned?

If anybody hurts Eun-woo,

they will have to deal with me.

I could say the same thing.
