(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
I will grant you...
the opportunity to serve me.
Why would I agree to that?
Why?
Because...
your name is Yoo Se Yeob.
That is who you are.
From what I hear, you murdered the late King.
Poor you.
The Head Acupuncturist who aced the Medical Exam...
was doing so well,
but his one mistake was to kill the King.
That must have ruined your physician career.
Right now, you are in need...
of someone high up to look out for you.
You do.
If you do as I say, you will amass a great fortune,
and live better than you did in the Palace.
Rather than work for Gye Ji Han, the quack who does harm,
what I can offer is much better.
I was a physician who was...
arrogant and foolish.
I must pay for my crime for the rest of my life.
I cannot go back to the life I had.
That is true. That is why you need me to look out for you.
Do excuse me.
Wait, Se Yeob. Se Poong.
Darn it.
The spot that clinic is located...
is prime real estate.
(Episode 4)
From what I hear, you murdered the late King.
Eun Woo.
They are pretty, like you.
I found them on the ground.
Oh, dear.
Is she not up yet?
She should be by now.
Sin Woo?
Eun Woo.
What are you doing here?
Where were you at this early in the day?
What are you carrying?
And...
Your clothes...
and hair...
Starting today, I will live at Gyesoo Clinic and learn medicine.
Medicine?
Eun Woo.
It was hard enough for you to break free from your in-laws.
Why would you torture yourself?
Do you know how hard the life of a female physician is?
Can you not just enjoy life and have fun now?
Everyone has a different definition of fun.
You always thought training in martial arts was fun,
and I had fun reading books...
and solving mysterious cases.
A woman of noble birth studying medicine?
Your father would not allow it.
But... he did.
He did what?
I have nowhere else to go as a woman of noble birth.
But as a physician,
I can start a new life, and that excites me.
Now, I want to go about the way I choose,
doing the work I choose.
Boo!
Oh, my goodness.
You scared me bad.
Do you like him that much?
I can see the sweetness dripping from your gaze.
Other servants cannot stand their masters.
You are a strange case.
Why are you suddenly crying?
- He is crying. - He is.
The boar is crying!
No. I am not.
- You cried. - I did not.
- Your eyes... - I did not cry.
Will you stop it? I said stop it.
It is not like that.
He used to treat the King, but now...
When he was in the Medical Office,
everyone lined up for his acupuncture treatment.
He got into trouble for it.
But now he cannot even hold a needle.
If only he could cure his darn hand tremors,
he would be summoned right back to Hanyang.
Make way.
I have a question.
Who treats hand tremors the best?
Hand tremors?
Let me check your pulse.
You cannot.
How dare you touch a woman's flesh?
Can you not just look and then prescribe something?
What are your symptoms?
The young lady sometimes plays the geomungo for me in private.
Recently, her hands tremble whenever she plays,
and the music is unbearable.
I will pay you however much the treatment costs.
Prescribe the best of medicinal herbs.
It would be best she eats meat to regain some energy.
If your hands still tremble,
I will prescribe a deer antler tonic then.
- Next. - Thank you.
My goodness.
- He treasures her. - Make way!
Talk about being overprotective.
The lady did not say a word herself.
"Prescribe the best of medicinal herbs."
How sweet.
I am jealous. When can I meet a man like him?
On top of being wealthy,
he is incredibly sweet to her.
Ip Bun!
Come to your senses.
Following money will lead you straight to your own demise.
That is right. Those with money are often the bad ones.
Gosh, whatever.
You always speak ill of those who are wealthy and successful.
Meat dishes for hand tremors.
He cannot even memorize that one thing.
That birdbrain.
My lady.
Are you hurt?
Let me carry you.
Do not block your master's way.
How dare you glare at me like that?
That brazen fool.
Let us go.
This way.
How dare he.
What was that just now?
What are you doing?
You feed us this kind of rabbit food every day.
That is why my young master's hands are not getting better.
No wonder!
It is not like meat can magically fall into your lap.
If you are that worried,
go catch a hare or something.
Right.
Even the Dragon King of the Sea wanted a hare when he fell ill.
Oh, come on.
That is because it is the easiest animal to catch.
No, a hare.
My goodness.
What? I cannot eat such a cute creature.
I refuse.
Young Master, hares are traditionally considered...
What was it?
Right, even the Dragon King of the Sea...
sent his subjects to catch one when he fell ill.
Try this folk remedy.
That is a folk belief, not a remedy.
The herbal medicine is enough for me.
Should I make some soup with the hare?
Oh, dumplings with hare meat are delicious too.
- Dumplings are the best. - True.
I never really liked meat to begin with.
What?
When we lived in Hanyang,
you ate beef whenever you had the chance,
raw or grilled.
Have you seen cows' innocent eyes? How could you eat them?
Can we please keep the hare and raise it?
- Please? - No.
- Please? Let us. - No.
- Please! - No, not a chance.
- Please let us keep it. - Put the carrots away. Come on!
- Please? - No way.
- No? - Not a chance.
- Let us keep it, please. - No.
- Please? - No.
- Please? - No way. Not a chance.
Hand tremors?
Find high-quality medicinal ingredients.
Like gastrodiae rhizoma.
I think I am almost there.
The wild ones grow deep in the mountains.
Be careful. You might encounter a tiger.
I am...
a fearless man.
Here I come.
He should have at least told me what it looked like.
All he told me was that it would be up in the mountains.
Look at this. Clearly, this is not it.
Oh.
This could be it.
My goodness. What is going on over there?
My lady, you must get up.
You have to come with me.
You need to get up!
Do you wish to die?
I heard you.
Let go of my hand.
Wait, hold on.
Yes, it is you.
You are the young lady who was at the clinic the other day, right?
You must have sprained your ankle.
Let me take you to the clinic.
Who are you?
Let go of my hand.
She told you to let go.
What are you doing to your master?
Mind your own business.
Just go away.
"Just go away"?
Why do you keep glaring at me?
You see, people used to call me "Rock-Hard Knuckles".
I cannot believe this.
Since you punched me first,
I now have no reason to hold back.
Oh, no...
Hold on.
I should take you to the governor's office before we go to the clinic.
By the way, where did the boar go?
I wonder too. At every mealtime, he gets so excited.
He should be jumping around excitedly now.
Jang Gun! Go find Man Bok.
- Okay! - Do you have nothing better to do?
You are worried that he will miss a meal?
All he thinks about is food.
I am sure he will be back before the meal is ready.
That is true. If Man Bok can miss a meal...
Gye Ji Han can quit alcohol.
And dogs will stop pooping.
- What? - Shut it, you fool!
Then let us go over yin and yang after dinner.
Oh, let us study a little more. Just until Man Bok is back.
Shall we?
Yes.
Okay.
Who reads a book to learn about yin and yang?
Over here!
What is this?
Tie him up at once!
Let go.
Why are you arresting me? Let go of me!
This was not me! I did not do this.
Oh, dear.
Man Bok.
Young Master!
What on earth happened?
I was told where I could find high-quality gastrodiae rhizoma,
so I went there to get some for you and...
Gastrodiae rhizoma? I am not ill.
What was it for?
I hear that it helps with hand tremors.
My gosh.
Young Master, I did not kill anyone.
You know me.
Yes, of course. I believe you, Man Bok.
Do not falsely admit to committing the crime...
just to break free from the torture.
I will prove your innocence, so stay strong until then.
Yes, Young Master.
What about it do you remember?
Tell us everything.
Let go of my hand.
Do you wish to die?
Before I passed out,
I came across the lady with hand tremors.
Her manservant was dragging her someplace to kill her.
The body is that of Gae Ban,
the manservant at Lord Jung's residence.
Judging by his wounds,
the cause of death was a hatchet to the head.
Right now, Man Bok seems to be responsible for his death.
May I see the hatchet?
The many wounds to the head suggest...
a personal grudge.
Man Bok could not have done this.
Please take a look at this.
I now understand why his head was bashed in.
These are ligature marks.
That is correct. The murder weapon may seem like a hatchet,
but he was in fact strangled.
Why did this need to be covered up?
To misdirect the investigators.
This way, whoever killed the man could make Man Bok take the fall.
I request that you release Man Bok.
I cannot release a suspect based on circumstantial evidence.
This is terrible. The victim may be a manservant,
but murder is always punished by beheading.
Why you...
Stay alert!
If you lose your focus,
your manservant will not be able to live.
He is not my manservant. To me, he is...
Enough. Just get ready for the road.
His residence.
Lord Jung's is where we are headed.
Maybe we will get lucky.
Lord Jung must be distressed by the tragic event.
As soon as I heard the news, I came rushing for a house call.
You...
You too, my friend.
Your eyes are murky, your lips are busted,
and your skin is dry.
Your internal organs must be in shambles.
I am serving patients...
with free additional acupuncture treatments today.
Get 2 for the price of 1.
We, at Gyesoo Clinic,
wish to take care of our neighbours.
I am saying that I will treat you for free today.
I understand your words, but who are these other people?
Why should I let you all in when this is not a feast?
We are here on official business.
District Governor Seo dispatched physicians...
to the bereaved family.
Now, step aside.
Who are you to block our path...
when we were sent by the district governor?
You heard him. Do not block our way.
Lead the way to Lord Jung.
That was clever of you.
I can only imagine how upset you must be...
over the death of a family member.
A family member?
Are you dismissing our class system?
It is only a manservant who lost his life today.
It does not warrant this amount of fuss.
Goodness. The manservant is the least of our worries.
We were sent to check on your welfare, my lord.
It is no secret that you provide the village with mental support.
Him and his arrogant gazes.
He was hardly obedient.
His death is actually a reward.
I worry less now that he is dead,
so you do not need to worry about me.
That manservant of yours must have been a troublemaker.
You have no idea.
He is of better use to us as a corpse.
Anyway, perform the acupuncture and hurry on out.
He was going to be sold anyway.
I will have lost nothing as long as I get my money back.
How are you feeling?
Hand tremors...
usually manifest due to one being concerned.
The shock of what happened recently must have worsened your condition.
She was not shocked at all.
Ever since she came back from the clinic,
she has been lying still under her covers.
It seems as though she must be given a deer antler tonic.
Allow me to check her pulse.
Goodness.
I already told you I cannot allow you to take her pulse.
But maybe a female physician could.
Of course.
As if there is a female physician...
who has fully mastered all medical texts.
Please give her your best deer antler tonic.
As for her diet, she is being served top-quality beef every day.
Lady Hyo Yeon.
You were in the woods where Gae Ban was killed.
She was home all day.
I already told you that.
The question was directed at Lady Hyo Yeon.
Please answer me.
If you were there, you would've met a burly manservant.
He is like family to me.
- Look here... - Right this moment,
he is being framed as Gae Ban's killer...
and might be sentenced to decapitation. Please.
If you were there, let us know what happened.
- Look here! - Lady Hyo Yeon.
Ban...
Ban?
She calls him Ban, not Gae Ban.
My lady.
Please calm down.
I already told you...
that she has not been feeling well all day.
Right?
Yesterday, you were also bedridden.
You were not feeling well, and Lord Jung was worried.
Yes, that is true.
Anyway, what should we do?
The physician seems to have more questions to ask you.
Could he carry on?
Or should I request that he leaves?
I should rest.
Lady Hyo Yeon, you still have not answered my question.
What happened yesterday?
What is this ruckus I hear?
How dare you question her without my approval?
Leave this instant!
Physician Yoo.
I must apologize.
Gae Ban never behaved properly.
I am afraid that thinking of him...
upset the lady.
Is that why Lord Jung...
I am afraid so.
This is for only you to hear,
but Lord Jung did suspect...
that Gae Ban had the audacity to develop romantic feelings...
for Lady Hyo Yeon.
Is that true?
Of course not.
We will be back.
With deer antler tonic that will replenish her energy.
I am afraid that Lord Jung...
has banned you from entering the residence.
Good night.
I hope you did not forget how you were open to the idea...
of a master female physician treating the young lady.
If such a person existed,
I would gladly pay a hefty sum.
The boar killed a man!
- Of course not. - The boar...
- killed a man! - He could not harm anyone.
Man Bok...
mourned the ant he killed while chopping firewood.
Him and his fragile heart. He must be crying his eyes out.
They arrested the wrong man.
He will soon be back whining for more food.
And complaining about the side dishes.
What happened? You said you would soon have him back!
It seems impossible.
None of this would have happened...
had you eaten the rabbit as told.
Darn it.
Physician Yoo. May I have a word?
The way to save Man Bok...
is to get to Lady Hyo Yeon.
And there is only one way...
to get her to speak.
It is for me to become a physician who mastered a medical script.
I hope you did not forget how you were open to the idea...
of a master female physician treating the young lady.
What you said to the young nobleman...
meant you would help in person.
But it takes a long time to master a medical script.
Man Bok will be executed before then.
Physician Yoo.
You can never accomplish...
what you do not try.
Mencius...
He said that studying...
If you have begun to learn,
do not give up until you are well-learned.
"Doctrine of the Mean", chapter 20.
Very well.
We shall try.
But medicine is much more difficult than the texts of Confucianism.
The training will be hard.
Yes. It should be.
We will start with these.
I do not plan to sleep.
I will let you sleep.
My cramming lecture...
will help you memorize faster than anyone.
Medical texts say that...
based on general shape,
it is better to be thin than fat.
A bright complexion is better than a yellow one.
Each person must be treated differently.
Gokji.
(Gokji)
Where is Susamri?
Here.
Find Habgok.
(Habgok)
Well done.
This is a drawing of the 12 Hard Pulses.
You should be able to memorize this...
before the sun sets today.
This is the body and its organs.
This is what is inside of us.
Each human body is like that of a nation.
When a heart does not function properly,
it threatens your life,
so you must be careful and cautious.
Good.
Okay.
There are many ways to get through each season.
In spring and summer, sleep late and wake early.
In the autumn months, sleep and wake early.
Raw and dried.
The black, dried jihyang herb is the same as the white raw one.
Pick up the black one.
It is made by juicing...
and then drying raw jihyang.
If you do that until it is very dark and shiny,
it is ready.
Black jihyang is sweet...
and tasty.
Young Master...
I wonder...
if Man Bok gets any sleep.
He does snore as soon as his head hits the pillow,
but he is picky about clothes.
Whenever I would throw anything on to go out,
he would touch it up for me saying people would gossip.
Is that why what you have been wearing recently looks oddly...
Do I not look good enough?
We must try to get Man Bok out.
Yangge, Yangji, Yanggok.
Find them.
Yangge, Yangji, Yanggok.
Man Bok will be healthy and fine.
You might find it strange,
but to me,
he is my only family.
Where is Onyu?
Do you not have any siblings?
No. I have no siblings,
and my mother is deceased.
My father too...
Now,
Man Bok is all I have left.
Eat a few more.
Are you taking pity on me?
Where is Joktonggok?
Somewhere here.
Lady Hyo Yeon is a lot like you.
Me?
Yes.
I mean...
you from the past.
You both looked like you stood all alone in the world.
Is it not strange?
Her betrothed cares for her dreadfully,
and her father thinks the world of her.
But she looked like she had no one.
No.
I think she is more like you.
How so?
The determined look in your eyes to save Man Bok.
I saw the similar look in Lady Hyo Yeon's.
Ban...
What are you saying?
Poong.
Poong...
Poong.
What kind of feel is that?
Why did Lady Hyo Yeon say "Ban" instead of "Gae Ban"?
The records say Man Bok is the killer.
A slave living at Gyesoo Clinic?
There is nothing to consider.
A lowly fool killed a man.
He must be executed.
My daughter's betrothed brought this from Qing.
It is very valuable,
so keep it safe at home.
Qing?
There is an ongoing investigation into my slave's death,
and it is a headache.
I would like the case to be closed soon.
I will take care of that for you.
They do say you are more efficient...
than the frustrating district governor.
The investigation is not yet over.
There are many suspicious circumstances.
District Governor.
Did you not hear the court wants those who cause unrest punished?
We need not waste time...
on the lives of two lowly slaves.
Three days.
If you do not find new proof by then,
I will carry out the execution.
I focus only on records.
They say the man we have is guilty,
and that is that.
(Gyesoo Clinic)
[VIU Ver] tvN E04 'Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist' "Se Poong’s Painful Past" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Is it a special day?
What is all this food?
I am making Gongjindan.
Man Bok must eat well in prison.
We are cooking him some food.
With his appetite,
prison food will not be enough.
Rice balls for the boar.
Should you not stuff it with some flavouring?
It has to keep,
so it is seasoned only with salt and sesame oil.
Anything else will go bad.
You do not know as you were never locked up.
Lady Namhae, have you been to prison?
I killed my ex-husband.
Me too.
What?
Really?
I have never even been married before.
People often ask her to cook food for those in prison.
Everyone is doing this for Man Bok. How thoughtful.
What can I do to help?
Here.
- Wrap this up. - Got it.
Thank you all.
But these look as though they were made for a banquet.
He said he needed those for something.
Who said that?
I asked her to make those.
You said you would go back to Lord Jung's residence.
What is with that face?
You must leave at once.
Lord Jung will really kill me this time.
Come on. See what we brought before you turn us away.
Once you see it, you will hate to let it go to waste.
Forget it.
If I let you in, they will eat what you brought at my funeral.
We are here on official business.
Is that so?
You said that last time too.
All right, then. Return safely.
This was sent by the government. If you let this go to waste...
The government?
Yes, there will be problems if you turn us away.
Rumour has it that Lord Jung's daughter who is soon to be wed...
is having some health issues.
The royal inspector dispatched by His Majesty the King...
ordered to have the food sent to Lord Jung's residence.
What do we do? Should we just leave?
No, wait. Do not leave.
If that is the case, I will ask Lord Jung...
as soon as he is back, so please wait a few moments.
Then let us do this.
Physician Yoo and I will wait outside...
while our cook goes in to drop off the food quickly.
You are not allowed to bring food...
to criminals arrested for murder.
He is not a murderer.
You have been a constable for years, yet you are still so slow-witted.
Did you catch him?
Oh, dear. Everyone who works here is in cahoots together.
What is it?
How brutal.
You are playing dumb...
after killing a man with an axe.
No, that is not true.
I swear, I never killed anyone.
I am telling you the truth!
No, you are lying.
You will be beheaded in just three days.
You know what it means, right?
They will chop your head off.
What is this about?
He is my family. Threaten him once more, and we will have problems.
What will you do?
What? Do you still think you are a well-respected physician...
in the Medical Office?
Do not run your mouth like that.
Come on.
You could not get off your high horse even in the Palace,
so you got fired.
Shut your mouth!
Oh, right.
Will you split his stomach open too when he dies?
The loony of the Medical Office.
Physician Gye the Quack!
You scoundrel!
I will make sure you cannot walk ever again.
You know about my acupuncture skills.
Oh, I am so very scared. Of course, I know all about it.
Even the woman you loved...
died because of your magical skills.
Ip Bun, you are all grown up now.
Do you remember your mother's face?
You said you would just drop it off and leave.
Why are you cooking up a storm?
Then what? Let Lord Jung eat cold food?
Then the royal inspector...
No. What if the King arrests and interrogates me?
Even so, this is...
It is good.
It is delicious.
But can I eat this?
Yes, it is fine.
Eat as much as you want.
A servant sure understands how other servants feel.
I know how hard you all work.
That is why I made extra food.
Go bring everyone!
Okay.
- One moment. - Oh, my.
- She flipped it! - Wait a moment.
This tastes best when it is hot. Stay put and wait.
You cannot do this.
You promised me that you would let me keep the geomungo.
Once we get married next month,
you will have to look after the household as my wife,
so you cannot keep playing the geomungo.
This...
I cannot give up.
Do not talk back to me from now on.
Answer me.
Answer me!
Okay.
Once you become my wife,
you will have to do your best to always look elegant and beautiful.
Do you like this?
But...
after such a tragic incident,
I cannot wear such a bright colour.
A tragic incident?
What are you talking about?
Ban...
I mean, Gae Ban is dead.
So what? It has nothing to do with us.
That day, you did not go anywhere.
You did not do anything. Am I wrong?
It is okay.
Everything is okay.
Lady Hyo Yeon.
The daenggi truly suits you.
Oh, is this okay?
We have no choice.
You do anything and everything to help your patients.
I must do something to find evidence.
We ought to save Man Bok.
Yes, we must.
We must save him.
But what are you looking for?
Master Jung.
You should try these.
Of course.
I would have headed to the kitchen myself.
I apologize for inconveniencing you.
This little man kept sending me after you...
so that you could taste these.
Are they not delicious?
They are.
I found it.
This...
This is Gae Ban's identity tag.
But his name...
is Ban, not Gae Ban.
That is correct, and the meaning of it...
is friend and partner.
(Ban)
Young Master, my gosh.
Why are you here...
and not at the clinic seeing patients?
They were treated to perfection...
and were sent home.
Which is what I would expect from Joseon's best physician.
Once you are able to perform acupuncture again...
I apologize.
Goodness.
If you were going to visit,
you could have brought me some rice balls.
Even after all these years, you are still dense.
That never crossed my mind.
My goodness.
You are the best. Thank you.
Young Master.
Once I die,
please have me buried.
Those words of weakness!
I said I would not let you die.
Lowly beings like me die when misfortune finds us...
and get discarded.
Please know that I do not even dream of having a grave.
All I want is to be buried.
The dead manservant was thrown out, was he not?
Lord have mercy on him and guide his soul to a better place.
I do not wish to cross paths with his resentful spirit.
This is the place.
In about 15 days,
the wild animals will have fed on him.
A person died,
and this is how was he treated?
He is of lowly origin.
Sin Woo.
Eun Woo?
How are you here?
How long have you waited?
I had a question to ask.
Is the sentence being handed out quickly...
because it is a case of a slave killing another slave?
It would have been the same had their origins been different.
All I do is make the ruling.
And that is based on the evidence collected.
Could you please have the sentencing pushed back?
How can he be framed as a killer...
for being found next to the body...
when there is no motive?
The motive might be a mystery, but there is enough evidence.
Also, I cannot delay the ruling...
since the royal court has already been informed.
Unless there is new evidence that contradicts the findings.
Why must it be rushed?
Maybe I should request that you live among these quarters instead.
You should not get involved in dangerous events...
with that young physician.
Eun Woo,
you have always had a cheerful spirit.
Sin Woo,
no one is born with one personality.
Good night, then.
One, two, three.
Lady Hyo Yeon, we are from Gyesoo Village.
The physicians to be exact.
We shall enter.
Her left Gwan pulse is thready.
It skips a beat from time to time as well.
Her fatigued heart is causing her hand tremors.
We will rejuvenate her energy with needle moxibustion...
and have her consume a herbal tonic.
Maybe you can perform acupuncture next time.
Sure.
Do you know how to perform acupuncture?
Of course.
Have you always been a skilled physician?
I envy you.
No one is born with a skill.
In life, we choose what we wish to do...
and have it come true.
I have only recently started to practice medicine.
We request...
that you accompany us to a place.
We found this at Gae Ban's quarters.
(Ban)
Is this his identity tag?
Ban.
It means friend, companion,
and partner.
Gae Ban which is the name he was given must have meant...
"dog food."
My guess is that Lord Jung named him that way...
as he threw out food for him to eat.
There you go.
As of today, I will name you Gae Ban...
as in dog food.
Rather than calling him the same way,
you called him "Ban."
(Ban)
This is your name.
A good friend.
Is that not what it means?
He was the friend you grew up with.
Lady Eun Woo assumed...
that a friend helped him...
receive his identity tag.
Was she right?
(Ban)
Ban.
I am sorry.
I...
remember now.
When Ban died,
I was there.
It is possible...
that I might have killed him.
I will tell all at the magistrate's office.
Give me just one day.
My lady, I am glad you have recovered,
but how am I to live if you were to fall ill again?
Come home with me.
Lady Hyo Yeon has something to say.
Let it go.
A man's life depends on it.
I care more for my future wife than the life of a slave.
And yet you treat your future wife like she is your lowly sacrifice?
Physician.
Did you say "lowly sacrifice"?
Your lowly slave...
strangled and killed my lowly slave.
You must compensate us for it.
You are stirring things up because you have no money for that.
What a pity.
Come with me. Now.
Please keep your word, my lady.
Down.
Why is everyone moping?
No one is dead yet.
What are you here for?
You do not know? I came over in a litter...
to get on your nerves and infuriate you.
Have you heard?
The executioner from the village over...
is busy sharpening his blade.
Come to the magistrate's office between 5 and 7pm...
and collect the fool's head.
You...
What is that for?
You demented old hag. Do you have a death wish?
I relayed the good news to you.
Now I shall leave.
Do not see me off.
Goodbye.
Will she come to the magistrate's office?
All we can do is trust her and wait.
Trust her and wait for what?
You two are too naive and sweet for your own good.
Poong and the young lady?
No.
(Gae Ban)
(Gil Soo)
Prescribe the best of medicinal herbs.
(Hyo Yeon)
I was there.
What are you doing to your master?
Yesterday, you were also bedridden.
Do you wish to die?
I might have killed him.
I did not kill anyone.
(Gae Ban)
(We shall protect Man Bok and Hyo Yeon)
That is what we have so far.
Then we can just tell the magistrate that Lady Hyo Yeon did it.
You said she said so.
Do you think she really killed Gae Ban?
Would she have if they were like siblings?
But then, Gae Ban was rebellious, unlike a slave.
Then did he molest her out of love?
Come on.
Do not turn it into a crass love story.
Both Gae Ban and the handsome young man love her.
She did not look strong enough to hold a hatchet.
He was strangled with twine, not killed with a hatchet,
so it does not look impossible.
What? He was not killed by a hatchet?
Everyone in the market believes so.
Man Bok has strong, muscly arms,
and people who thought he could kill...
are saying he eventually did.
The officials never announced the cause of death.
They would just let people talk as they pleased.
(We shall protect Man Bok and Hyo Yeon)
Then...
how did Master Gil Soo know?
Your lowly slave...
strangled and killed my lowly slave.
He knew the fact that...
Gae Ban was strangled.
Let us catch the killer.
Let us catch the killer!
What...
Why are you here again?
Why would a physician visit?
I am here to see if your lord is all right.
My lord!
What is this fuss about?
I must see your daughter.
We are too late.
They left already.
Put up posters. The handsome fool is the killer.
We have no time to hire an artist.
Ip Bun can draw it.
I do not remember any features other than that he was handsome.
Jang Gun remembers everything.
Jang Gun. Did you not see his face?
His eyes look more evil.
No.
This does not look like him.
Darn it.
Not that either.
It looks weird. This is not his face.
No.
Good.
Yes, this is it.
A little darker. Almost there.
It is done.
- Good. - Good.
My lady. We just have to cross this ridge.
I will make you happy for the rest of our lives.
Stay strong.
Can you not just let me go?
Please.
Come along.
If you will let me go,
I will not tell anyone.
You will not tell anyone?
Tell what?
You did not see anything.
Are you crying?
Why are you crying when this is all on you?
This would not have happened if you did not play the geomungo.
You made me look like this. Do you get that?
I am barely refraining from killing you and you cry?
I apologize.
I crossed the line. Forgive me.
To me, you are my everything.
You are my life.
I do not fear death.
What I fear is...
not being able to see you.
So please...
Pull yourself together.
Have you seen this person?
Have you seen these people?
Take a look!
Leave, will you?
- Hey! What is wrong with her? - Go away.
This pretty young lady and...
Take a good look. He has big, piercing eyes.
You really have not seen them?
- No, we have not. - No, we have not.
Hey, dunce!
Someone saw Gil Soo on the way to Sorak Port.
Sorak Port? Many merchants from Qing frequent the port.
A ship from Qing arrives between 3 and 5pm on the 15th of each month.
He used to import goods from Qing, so he must know.
The 15th? That is today.
- What? - Between 3 and 5pm?
Then we do not have time.
Sin Woo.
We heard we could borrow horses and constables...
with the royal inspector's permission.
We cannot use our resources to help you with a personal matter.
We are doing this to make sure the law is implemented fairly.
This is not a personal matter.
The real culprit is holding Lady Hyo Yeon hostage.
The law must be obeyed.
I ought to follow the rules.
Please, Sin Woo.
Please trust me.
He is the real culprit.
We must catch him at all costs.
If I am wrong,
I will gladly accept any punishment.
Who do you think you are?
Even last time, everyone was shocked...
when you let the girl go into the woods.
This is not about you being punished.
Someone's life depends on this.
I cannot give up like this.
If you help us this time,
I will do anything you say.
By any chance,
do you know where Gae Ban's corpse is?
Get up.
You said you were in a rush.
I will let you borrow a horse.
The execution will be carried out between 5 and 7 pm as planned.
You must catch him and bring him to me before that.
Make way!
No, please...
- Man Bok. - Man Bok.
My gosh.
- Help me, please. - Man Bok.
- Man Bok. - Save me.
Man Bok.
Man Bok!
I will be back soon.
What? You even know how to ride a horse?
We do not have time. We must hurry.
(Yoo Se Yeob)
Stop!
- All of you, back off! - Stop.
Young Master!
I suppose you have managed to find Yoo Se Yeob.
Kill him.
I will uncover all the hidden secrets...
and survive at all costs.
Visual hallucinations?
Has this ever happened before?
A bruise and another wound.
Who hit him?
I have a question.
- Ma'am! - You see,
you are awfully slow-witted.
I told you to stay away from the physician.
I must save him.
That is why you said you would make a house call.
You will help me, right?
