(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
With my hands, I caused the former king to die.
That is why...
I was banished from the Palace...
and unable to use needles.
And also,
someone is still threatening me over that incident.
I do not wish to leave.
However...
I must discover the truth.
Will you still...
wait for me?
No.
Take the path you see fit.
And uncover the truth.
I will not just sit and do nothing.
I will find my own way.
Together, just like now.
Did the Second State Councillor send you?
Does your side sting?
You lacked the skill and could have died.
Thank me for saving you.
Darn!
Run, but you cannot hide from me.
You had it coming, you punk.
Goodness.
This came into my possession?
(Dansacho)
(Jeon Kyu Hyung, Gye Ji Han, Shin Gui Soo)
Who used dansacho and how, when there were guards...
and tasters and testers?
Why did the royal investigator come to Sorak Village?
To kill me?
To find evidence?
Physician Yoo, may I come in for a moment?
(Cho Sin Woo, Cho Tae Hak)
Sin Woo must be involved in it too.
At the moment, it is only speculation.
Do you think the Second State Councillor sent this?
This...
belongs to Physician Yoo?
Does this needle box have something to do with the incident too?
Did something happen?
The other night, when Sin Woo heard that this belonged to you,
he seemed very flustered.
Sin Woo might already know...
what you are after.
I should ask him directly.
(Episode 10)
What do you mean Sin Woo left?
He was transferred to the State Tribunal last night.
And he was nowhere to be seen this morning.
He must have had to leave in a rush to start his new job.
Goodness. He should have at least told us before he left, right?
He would not leave without even saying goodbye.
I wonder what happened.
But those who are after you are like wild beasts.
They will only stop when they rip the throat of their prey.
They are cruel beings.
He might be in danger.
Where are you going?
You must walk along this trail to get there.
Look.
It is blood.
Royal Inspector Cho!
Royal Inspector Cho, wake up.
I must take you to the clinic. Hold my hand.
No.
No one can know...
that I am still alive.
Royal Inspector Cho.
Royal Inspector Cho!
Who did this?
The Second State Councillor’s son was attacked before he could slay me.
Who attacked him? And why?
Please wake up.
I cannot let you die like this.
It has been taken care of, my lord.
That weak fool.
Your Majesty, you have been avoiding governmental affairs for days,
and you would not even let us see you.
Please try to understand our situation, Your Majesty.
The rash on my leg has worsened.
It is hard for me to even stay seated for a moment.
- Oh, no.
- My goodness.
Hence,
I wish to visit the hot spring in Onyang.
However, you are not well enough...
for such a long trip.
It could worsen the rash.
Like the former kings,
I wish to be treated in Onyang.
I hope you all understand.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You must regain your health for our country to be strong.
We will thoroughly prepare everything.
My rash is worsening by the day,
so make sure I can leave immediately.
Yes. Well understood, Your Majesty.
It has only been a little while since he ascended the throne.
He already wants to go stay in Onyang?
He is ill.
He suddenly wants to go to the palace in Onyang?
Lord Cho!
Lord Cho.
I found the court maid.
However,
His Majesty is...
What?
Now, I see what is going on.
Bring Im Soon Man to me.
Yes, my lord.
What happened?
Who tried to kill you?
Take Eun Woo and leave at once.
If you stay here with me, you will be put in danger too.
Royal Inspector Cho.
You saved my life yet again.
Is there anything you know about that needle box?
If it is something related to my father, please tell me.
Are you telling me to repay my debt?
Your father was found...
with a discoloured stiletto needle in his hand.
And I was investigating the case.
However,
I no longer have that stiletto needle.
The man...
who stabbed me probably took the needle.
Who was it?
All right. One for you, Jang Gun.
I get two.
- Hey!
- Come on.
- This is delicious.
- By the way,
Physician Yoo was acting so strange today.
My young master is always weird.
I saw him sneaking out...
- with tons of food.
- What?
Lady Seo was acting weird too.
She left the house with some food.
She took my crunchy rice too.
I see. If she even took Jang Gun's crunchy rice...
I know what is going on.
- What?
- What is going on?
Those two...
are in love!
What?
They are?
- They are in love!
- They are in love!
Finally, this happened.
What? What do you think happened?
They secretly...
Yes.
They moved in together in secret!
- What?
- What?
They will get in trouble, will they not?
They cannot get married.
Do not worry. That is simply impossible.
My young master has been single all his life,
so he cannot even think of doing such a thing.
You never know what can happen between a man and a woman.
Let us go check out Poong's new house!
- Okay!
- No.
- No, wait.
- No.
- Get back here!
- Hey.
Jang Gun, hold on.
- No.
- Come on!
- They are in love!
- Quiet.
Well...
Did you have dinner?
Yes, I ate.
Oh, where?
Would you like some yakgwa?
You two...
can share one.
They are beginning to look alike.
Where did Royal Inspector Cho go when he is still unwell?
His wounds will reopen if he moves.
I am sure he did not make it far.
Let us find him.
The royal inspector...
asked about the needle...
that had changed in colour.
Yes, that is right.
This is the needle he probably showed you.
What am I looking at?
Have you figured it out?
I kept mum not wanting to be dragged away by authorities.
However, this is no ordinary needle.
It is a stiletto needle used to cut boils.
I see.
It is called a stiletto needle?
That is right.
It seems to have come from someone of authority too.
That much is true.
Anyway, bring me more answers as soon as possible.
I need not remind you that you must keep quiet.
Absolutely. You need not worry.
Now, let us move on.
Do you have what I requested?
Of course. Here you go.
Right. Let me see.
Goodness.
Splendid.
That dunce. If he blindly seeks the truth in Hanyang...
The Minister of Personnel died while looking into this herb.
If you value your life,
you will leave immediately.
However, it is not something I can keep hidden forever.
I am afraid we are closed. Please come by tomorrow.
Who on earth interrupts our peace at this hour?
Are you the physician here?
You are in the presence of...
I heard about...
the young gifted physician who works here.
Where can I find him?
The young physician?
That is right. I wish to be seen by the one...
who is from the Medical Office.
I wonder how such news travelled outside this village.
On my way to Hanyang for the state exam,
I asked around hoping to have my condition treated.
Even from the village entrance, I heard villagers gushing over him.
Like I said, it is after hours.
Exactly. You should head back tonight.
No matter what you offer me,
it will not have me reopen the clinic.
If it is that urgent, we do offer after-hours service.
What nonsense are you spewing? Since when did we...
Head inside!
The later the night, the steeper the price.
But treating illnesses comes before money.
Steeper as in twice the amount we just offered?
Let me escort you inside.
This way, please. Go on.
This way.
Not a word!
Does the young physician not see patients?
He is merely my assistant, and I sent him on an errand.
Allow me to check your pulse while you await.
Goodness.
Judging by your bloodshot eyes and canker sores on your tongue,
you have heat trapped in your chest area.
One might guess that you have never been at ease.
You are right.
Due to being sick on a daily basis,
I see physicians almost every day.
Your manservant is as thin as a chopstick,
but your tummy is fully greased up.
No wonder your energy is blocked.
You brought this on yourself.
What do you suggest that I do?
Rather than physicians who only seek money and fame,
be treated by those who can actually make you better.
When choosing your physician,
see his talent and personality.
We will look for him again when the day breaks.
Where on earth have you been wandering all day?
I bet he was out doing no good.
Is someone here at this hour?
A young scholar from a wealthy family...
on his way to take the state exam.
He seemed suspicious at first,
but one could not have asked for a better patient.
I wonder who it is.
Make sure he does not leave while I bring his medicinal herbs.
Your Majesty.
Hush. Not so loud.
Se Yeob.
I hope you have been well.
You seem drawn.
It must not have been easy for you.
Your Majesty.
Lift your chin up.
I am here to see my old friend today.
But...
We only offer the best herbs...
What are you doing?
All right.
Goodness.
You have been chasing skirts most of your waking hours.
That much is quite obvious to me.
Anyway, these herbs...
will clear your bloodshot eyes...
and lower the heat trapped in your chest.
Physician Gye, you must be suffering from stiffness in your muscles.
Why you... Is it not obvious to you?
Someone so young has that much fat around his belly.
At this rate, he will be a goner in a few years.
Do not come to me when you are dying...
and take this medicine to...
- You should turn in for the night.
- What...
- What is going on?
- I will explain later.
Please turn in for the night, Physician Gye.
Make sure he pays a hefty amount.
My apologies, Your Majesty. He is not all that bad.
He is actually a talented physician...
who once worked at the Medical Office.
The Medical Office?
No wonder.
He was not all that wrong.
One must ask what brings you to this remote village.
Did you come all this way to see your disloyal subject?
I had a favour to ask.
A court maid from the Royal Kitchen is being brought here.
I need you to treat her.
A court maid from the Royal Kitchen?
The royal food taster gave her life trying to tell me to find this girl.
There is quite a lot that I must tell you.
Take your seat.
Then my father...
was looking into the stiletto needle and the former king's death?
The court maid who is on the way...
will know something about it.
I need you...
to cure her.
I will.
But what with and how is that court maid ailing?
What is it?
Are you all right?
Wake up.
I must return.
Take care of it for me.
Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best.
- What happened?
- I apologize, Your Majesty.
She was overcome with fear and fled.
She fainted with fear is all, Your Majesty.
I need you to cure her. You must.
You must uncover the truth.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(Gyesoo Clinic)
Who is this girl?
Did you...
Can you not cause a fuss?
His Majesty asked I treat her.
What are you on about? "His Majesty?"
- His Majesty?
- His Majesty?
You crazy man.
You tried to con the King into paying a fortune?
He did not just take his money.
I heard he even said a whole load of nasty things.
You have enough courage to be a commander of the army.
He pointed at His Majesty with his finger like this...
and criticized him and called him names too.
"Someone so young has that much fat around his belly."
Is what he said.
You have enough courage to be a commander of the army.
If he did and said all that to the King,
will we all just...
We all just what?
Get dragged off to be hung, drawn, and quartered?
We will be flogged and whipped before that.
Gye Ji Han. You are crazy. Crazy.
- You are crazy.
- Oh, dear.
I should open a tavern here.
Yes, you do that. This place...
It is no place for a clinic.
Oh, dear...
She is awake.
My gosh. I got scared, thinking you were dead.
You scared me.
What is your name?
Do you not know your name or age?
Do not scare her.
Where are you from? Have you eaten?
Why ask questions when she cannot speak?
That must be it. She cannot speak.
I see.
Now that you are awake, you should eat.
I will bring some porridge.
You woke up.
Good.
It is okay. This is a safe place.
They will all protect you.
You can trust us.
My lord. You asked to see me again.
I am eternally grateful.
My lord. Just give a command.
I serve you and you alone now.
A young girl will go to Sorak Village...
and look for Yoo Se Yeob.
Contact me as soon as it is confirmed,
and find out where she is taken.
I will come myself.
I will do that. Do not worry.
Last time, with my cunning, the royal investigator incident...
got taken care of. You know, right?
Do not dare take this lightly!
I brought something that I would like to offer up.
What is this?
It is a sweet drug that confuses the mind.
Once you take this,
you travel to and from paradise to purgatory.
You keep wanting more,
until later on, you sell your house and cattle.
Eventually, you give up your life.
That is what it is like.
It is evil.
The profit from this amount...
is much more than the profit from selling a crate of tobacco.
Much more.
If you so wish,
this could give you the nation.
Do you think it would be that easy?
You cannot cover the sky with one hand.
But my sky is you and only you.
Why can you not become the sky that lords over us all?
That is dangerous chatter.
I am so glad I did not use this yet.
At a more crucial time,
I will use you then.
I am a true master of scheming.
She will not speak.
The extreme shock and fear...
blocked her heart and mind.
We should try using wonjihan and bokshinsan.
Okay. I will use acupuncture on Jinjeong to help her relax.
You must get better.
I am doing this to treat you.
You are too afraid.
Acupuncture is out of the question.
Yes.
Time flies.
That punk.
What?
You crazy old hag! Do you know how much this costs?
Why are you back?
All you do is cause a ruckus.
Is that how you speak to adults?
You, teach her some manners.
You, you will pay.
You! What are you here for?
From now on, each time you step foot in our yard,
pay a fee.
You lot.
When a guest comes by, you should escort them inside.
I am here to get treated and to pay for it.
Unless it is terminal, get lost.
I am extremely busy, okay?
Yes, and I want to go inside and get a thorough check-up.
Hey! You scoundrel.
Move aside. Let me go in!
I washed the dirty rag! It is clean now.
Well done, Granny!
Hey, get lost.
What is so important about that wench?
What is with this hide-and-seek?
Well, it is none of my business.
Gyesoo Clinic is all I care about.
Very soon, it will be mine.
I am curious about what made you shut yourself off from others.
If there is anything you would like to tell me, write it down.
Here.
It is okay. Do not worry.
You do not have to write it in words.
There must be a reason Im Soon Man was here. It concerns me.
I will find a place for her to stay and move her there tomorrow.
Okay.
What should I do?
The Ojisangseung Therapy states...
that anxiety can only be overcome with joy.
Man Bok.
What would give her the most joy?
I heard many court maids feigned illness...
to visit their families.
She would be very happy if she could visit her family.
What is this?
Here, drink this.
Wait!
Wol!
Go away!
Wol!
- We should take her inside.
- Okay.
Is she not breathing?
She is. She may look like she is not breathing, but she is alive.
Eun Woo, administer acupuncture on Cheondol, Hwagae, and Okdang.
Okay.
You are...
The acupuncture points are Cheondol, Hwagae, Okdang.
You are that girl.
"That girl?"
One, two, three.
She has epilepsy.
She has turned the corner.
Use acupuncture on Geogweol, and she will wake up.
Okay.
Do you know her?
Yes, I recognized her...
when I saw the moles on her chest.
"Moles on her chest?"
Yes.
They form a triangle.
Even back then, I thought it was unusual.
Physician Yoo, were you a playboy in the Palace?
What?
You were. Of course, with that handsome face.
I knew it.
Gosh.
What? What are you saying, all of a sudden...
No. I swear, we did not have that kind of relationship.
Do not get the wrong idea.
Oh, dear.
That court maid is with Yoo Se Yeob now.
I told you to keep tabs on them.
Sure thing, my lord.
My servants are watching them...
with their eyes peeled all day and all night.
Lead the way.
I will finish her off with my own two hands.
It is okay. Relax.
You...
must remember me.
Take your time.
You can tell me when you are ready and want to talk.
Do you not want to visit your family back home?
You must miss your family.
Do not worry. I will go with you.
- What is going on?
- You little...
Who made this beautiful young lady cry?
- What happened?
- Why did you make her cry?
Physician Yoo, what is with you? Stop making women cry.
Young Master, can you explain what is going on?
It is not because of me.
She started crying when I brought up her family.
Oh, dear. What is the matter?
Do not cry.
It is okay.
It is okay.
My gosh.
Oh, dear.
I did not make her cry.
- My gosh.
- You poor thing.
That poor thing. What happened that she is such a wreck now?
Something must have happened to her family.
Oh, boy.
Was that why she had a seizure...
and fainted?
She must have gone home as soon as she ran away from the Palace.
But she will not even say a word, so...
She must have experienced something she could not handle.
So I would like to visit her family's home.
Would it not make the situation worse?
It is still her home.
The place where she was born and raised,
filled with good memories.
Bringing back the good memories will help her recover.
Oh, dear.
You must...
be overwhelmed with emotions,
which is why you cannot speak.
Even if that is true, do not let it wear you down.
Do not try to hide.
Even amid all that confusion,
there must still be memories that you cherish.
I would like to take you to your home...
and help you recall those memories.
Do you not wish to go?
If that is the case,
shake your head.
What do you say? Are you not up for it?
If you wish to go,
the people at the clinic will escort you there.
You are not alone anymore.
Look over there.
No way.
This is my first time leaving Sorak Village.
What a delight.
Pretty, is it not?
What about me?
This is unexpected.
Royal Inspector Cho is still suffering from his wounds.
I wonder where he could have gone.
I am worried that he will harm himself some more.
Do not worry too much.
Sin Woo is strong and is a gifted swordsman.
I see you trust him.
I have known him since childhood.
You two must share a lot of memories.
I guess we do.
But...
my current life means more to me right now.
Come on. Seriously?
Please give me one.
Let us unpack.
Sure.
Jang Gun, you should stay back with Lady Eun Woo and Wol.
Let us...
wait over there.
Goodness me.
Such barbarians!
I knew it.
Ip Bun, take Granny to get us some water.
Man Bok, follow me.
Let us clean up the mess.
The house looks warm and welcoming.
- Here.
- Ta-Da.
Goodness, I must starve to death.
Is eating all you care about?
Absolutely.
You can throw scholars at me, but all I will care about is food.
Wol,
let me know what you wish to eat.
I will make it all.
Goodness, is that so? If that is the case,
we should have beef.
Right,
Wol?
Beef.
Here.
What is this, Father?
Do you want us to talk through your drawings?
Is this a brazier?
Young Master.
I am off to collect some greens.
Sure.
Jang Gun, can you get me some more banggi and jihwang?
Sure.
You must...
be longing to see him.
I lost the only family member I had.
My father passed away.
You might...
also know of him.
Do you remember Supreme Commissioner Yoo Hoo Myung?
If, back then,
had I not treated the former king, would it have been okay?
If, back then,
I were not so arrogant,
then perhaps...
my father would still be alive.
Such thoughts...
prevent me from sleeping at night.
I wish to...
apologize to you too.
It is possible...
that the torment you are suffering...
is because of me.
So do not be too harsh on yourself,
or take it hard.
Because it is...
all my fault.
What are you doing, Jang Gun?
Butterfly.
Physician Yoo. It is a butterfly.
She drew a butterfly.
Then it was not the needles. It was the butterfly fastening.
It is okay. It is fine.
It is a drawing of a butterfly and nothing else.
Were you trying to say something?
Is that why you drew?
Okay. Say whatever it is you want to say.
I will listen.
Physician Yoo.
It is...
not your fault.
Your father...
was murdered.
What...
do you mean?
A man with a black jade butterfly ornament.
Commissioner Yoo...
was killed by that man.
You must die.
Was the royal inspector told to kill both my father and me?
I cannot disobey the order...
or kill the one who saved me.
You must leave and never show yourself again.
But he failed to kill me. Why?
There must be others with the same ornament.
It will not be Sin Woo.
We must find out who did it.
The girl's luck ran out...
when persistent little me caught on to her.
Oh, no.
Young Master!
I have bad news. Right now...
Im Soon Man is up to something.
He is coming this way with soldiers.
It is Wol and me they are after.
Why?
I will take Wol and escape.
Take the others and go to the crowded village center.
No. What if you get in danger?
Come with us.
It is us two they want.
I cannot put the rest of you in danger.
The market is close by, so they will not attack.
But still...
Oh, dear...
Take care.
We will be safe.
We must go. We must live.
Do not be afraid. I said I would protect you.
I will lead them that way. Stay here and hide.
You cannot do that. You might...
It is the King's command.
You must live, and I must keep you alive.
So live.
- Find her.
- Yes, my lord.
- Search.
- Yes, sir.
- Go after her.
- Yes, my lord.
- Go after her. Now.
- Yes, sir.
My lady. You said we must go.
Stay on this path and go straight to Gyesoo Clinic.
Stick to crowded roads.
Where are you going?
I will come too.
You must...
get the others safely back to Gyesoo Village.
I will get Physician Yoo.
- Go.
- My lady.
- Go on.
- My lady.
Wol.
Wol.
Physician Yoo.
What happened? Why are you alone?
I told Wol to hide, but she is gone.
Either she returned home to escape the men...
Lord Cho.
They must be hiding in the woods.
I will find them quickly and bring them to you.
Wol.
Wol.
I will take care of Yoo Se Yeob...
and retrieve the stiletto needle at all costs.
What will you do in Hanyang?
I will go with you.
Please spare me.
That is all. Please...
Hey!
How dare you sell such a thing?
- Arrest them all!
- Let go!
The Second State Councillor was deeply involved in it.
You must be very careful.
We brought the body from Seobinggo.
Dansacho was found in the blood of the court lady...
who tasted the King's food.
You will not get involved in anything dangerous.
Promise me.

(Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
With my hands, I caused the former king to die.
That is why...
I was banished from the Palace...
and unable to use needles.
And also,
someone is still threatening me over that incident.
I do not wish to leave.
However...
I must discover the truth.
Will you still...
wait for me?
No.
Take the path you see fit.
And uncover the truth.
I will not just sit and do nothing.
I will find my own way.
Together, just like now.
Did the Second State Councillor send you?
Does your side sting?
You lacked the skill and could have died.
Thank me for saving you.
Darn!
Run, but you cannot hide from me.
You had it coming, you punk.
Goodness.
This came into my possession?
(Dansacho)
(Jeon Kyu Hyung, Gye Ji Han, Shin Gui Soo)
Who used dansacho and how, when there were guards...
and tasters and testers?
Why did the royal investigator come to Sorak Village?
To kill me?
To find evidence?
Physician Yoo, may I come in for a moment?
(Cho Sin Woo, Cho Tae Hak)
Sin Woo must be involved in it too.
At the moment, it is only speculation.
Do you think the Second State Councillor sent this?
This...
belongs to Physician Yoo?
Does this needle box have something to do with the incident too?
Did something happen?
The other night, when Sin Woo heard that this belonged to you,
he seemed very flustered.
Sin Woo might already know...
what you are after.
I should ask him directly.
(Episode 10)
What do you mean Sin Woo left?
He was transferred to the State Tribunal last night.
And he was nowhere to be seen this morning.
He must have had to leave in a rush to start his new job.
Goodness. He should have at least told us before he left, right?
He would not leave without even saying goodbye.
I wonder what happened.
But those who are after you are like wild beasts.
They will only stop when they rip the throat of their prey.
They are cruel beings.
He might be in danger.
Where are you going?
You must walk along this trail to get there.
Look.
It is blood.
Royal Inspector Cho!
Royal Inspector Cho, wake up.
I must take you to the clinic. Hold my hand.
No.
No one can know...
that I am still alive.
Royal Inspector Cho.
Royal Inspector Cho!
Who did this?
The Second State Councillor’s son was attacked before he could slay me.
Who attacked him? And why?
Please wake up.
I cannot let you die like this.
It has been taken care of, my lord.
That weak fool.
Your Majesty, you have been avoiding governmental affairs for days,
and you would not even let us see you.
Please try to understand our situation, Your Majesty.
The rash on my leg has worsened.
It is hard for me to even stay seated for a moment.
- Oh, no.
- My goodness.
Hence,
I wish to visit the hot spring in Onyang.
However, you are not well enough...
for such a long trip.
It could worsen the rash.
Like the former kings,
I wish to be treated in Onyang.
I hope you all understand.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You must regain your health for our country to be strong.
We will thoroughly prepare everything.
My rash is worsening by the day,
so make sure I can leave immediately.
Yes. Well understood, Your Majesty.
It has only been a little while since he ascended the throne.
He already wants to go stay in Onyang?
He is ill.
He suddenly wants to go to the palace in Onyang?
Lord Cho!
Lord Cho.
I found the court maid.
However,
His Majesty is...
What?
Now, I see what is going on.
Bring Im Soon Man to me.
Yes, my lord.
What happened?
Who tried to kill you?
Take Eun Woo and leave at once.
If you stay here with me, you will be put in danger too.
Royal Inspector Cho.
You saved my life yet again.
Is there anything you know about that needle box?
If it is something related to my father, please tell me.
Are you telling me to repay my debt?
Your father was found...
with a discoloured stiletto needle in his hand.
And I was investigating the case.
However,
I no longer have that stiletto needle.
The man...
who stabbed me probably took the needle.
Who was it?
All right. One for you, Jang Gun.
I get two.
- Hey!
- Come on.
- This is delicious.
- By the way,
Physician Yoo was acting so strange today.
My young master is always weird.
I saw him sneaking out...
- with tons of food.
- What?
Lady Seo was acting weird too.
She left the house with some food.
She took my crunchy rice too.
I see. If she even took Jang Gun's crunchy rice...
I know what is going on.
- What?
- What is going on?
Those two...
are in love!
What?
They are?
- They are in love!
- They are in love!
Finally, this happened.
What? What do you think happened?
They secretly...
Yes.
They moved in together in secret!
- What?
- What?
They will get in trouble, will they not?
They cannot get married.
Do not worry. That is simply impossible.
My young master has been single all his life,
so he cannot even think of doing such a thing.
You never know what can happen between a man and a woman.
Let us go check out Poong's new house!
- Okay!
- No.
- No, wait.
- No.
- Get back here!
- Hey.
Jang Gun, hold on.
- No.
- Come on!
- They are in love!
- Quiet.
Well...
Did you have dinner?
Yes, I ate.
Oh, where?
Would you like some yakgwa?
You two...
can share one.
They are beginning to look alike.
Where did Royal Inspector Cho go when he is still unwell?
His wounds will reopen if he moves.
I am sure he did not make it far.
Let us find him.
The royal inspector...
asked about the needle...
that had changed in colour.
Yes, that is right.
This is the needle he probably showed you.
What am I looking at?
Have you figured it out?
I kept mum not wanting to be dragged away by authorities.
However, this is no ordinary needle.
It is a stiletto needle used to cut boils.
I see.
It is called a stiletto needle?
That is right.
It seems to have come from someone of authority too.
That much is true.
Anyway, bring me more answers as soon as possible.
I need not remind you that you must keep quiet.
Absolutely. You need not worry.
Now, let us move on.
Do you have what I requested?
Of course. Here you go.
Right. Let me see.
Goodness.
Splendid.
That dunce. If he blindly seeks the truth in Hanyang...
The Minister of Personnel died while looking into this herb.
If you value your life,
you will leave immediately.
However, it is not something I can keep hidden forever.
I am afraid we are closed. Please come by tomorrow.
Who on earth interrupts our peace at this hour?
Are you the physician here?
You are in the presence of...
I heard about...
the young gifted physician who works here.
Where can I find him?
The young physician?
That is right. I wish to be seen by the one...
who is from the Medical Office.
I wonder how such news travelled outside this village.
On my way to Hanyang for the state exam,
I asked around hoping to have my condition treated.
Even from the village entrance, I heard villagers gushing over him.
Like I said, it is after hours.
Exactly. You should head back tonight.
No matter what you offer me,
it will not have me reopen the clinic.
If it is that urgent, we do offer after-hours service.
What nonsense are you spewing? Since when did we...
Head inside!
The later the night, the steeper the price.
But treating illnesses comes before money.
Steeper as in twice the amount we just offered?
Let me escort you inside.
This way, please. Go on.
This way.
Not a word!
Does the young physician not see patients?
He is merely my assistant, and I sent him on an errand.
Allow me to check your pulse while you await.
Goodness.
Judging by your bloodshot eyes and canker sores on your tongue,
you have heat trapped in your chest area.
One might guess that you have never been at ease.
You are right.
Due to being sick on a daily basis,
I see physicians almost every day.
Your manservant is as thin as a chopstick,
but your tummy is fully greased up.
No wonder your energy is blocked.
You brought this on yourself.
What do you suggest that I do?
Rather than physicians who only seek money and fame,
be treated by those who can actually make you better.
When choosing your physician,
see his talent and personality.
We will look for him again when the day breaks.
Where on earth have you been wandering all day?
I bet he was out doing no good.
Is someone here at this hour?
A young scholar from a wealthy family...
on his way to take the state exam.
He seemed suspicious at first,
but one could not have asked for a better patient.
I wonder who it is.
Make sure he does not leave while I bring his medicinal herbs.
Your Majesty.
Hush. Not so loud.
Se Yeob.
I hope you have been well.
You seem drawn.
It must not have been easy for you.
Your Majesty.
Lift your chin up.
I am here to see my old friend today.
But...
We only offer the best herbs...
What are you doing?
All right.
Goodness.
You have been chasing skirts most of your waking hours.
That much is quite obvious to me.
Anyway, these herbs...
will clear your bloodshot eyes...
and lower the heat trapped in your chest.
Physician Gye, you must be suffering from stiffness in your muscles.
Why you... Is it not obvious to you?
Someone so young has that much fat around his belly.
At this rate, he will be a goner in a few years.
Do not come to me when you are dying...
and take this medicine to...
- You should turn in for the night.
- What...
- What is going on?
- I will explain later.
Please turn in for the night, Physician Gye.
Make sure he pays a hefty amount.
My apologies, Your Majesty. He is not all that bad.
He is actually a talented physician...
who once worked at the Medical Office.
The Medical Office?
No wonder.
He was not all that wrong.
One must ask what brings you to this remote village.
Did you come all this way to see your disloyal subject?
I had a favour to ask.
A court maid from the Royal Kitchen is being brought here.
I need you to treat her.
A court maid from the Royal Kitchen?
The royal food taster gave her life trying to tell me to find this girl.
There is quite a lot that I must tell you.
Take your seat.
Then my father...
was looking into the stiletto needle and the former king's death?
The court maid who is on the way...
will know something about it.
I need you...
to cure her.
I will.
But what with and how is that court maid ailing?
What is it?
Are you all right?
Wake up.
I must return.
Take care of it for me.
Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best.
- What happened?
- I apologize, Your Majesty.
She was overcome with fear and fled.
She fainted with fear is all, Your Majesty.
I need you to cure her. You must.
You must uncover the truth.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(Gyesoo Clinic)
Who is this girl?
Did you...
Can you not cause a fuss?
His Majesty asked I treat her.
What are you on about? "His Majesty?"
- His Majesty?
- His Majesty?
You crazy man.
You tried to con the King into paying a fortune?
He did not just take his money.
I heard he even said a whole load of nasty things.
You have enough courage to be a commander of the army.
He pointed at His Majesty with his finger like this...
and criticized him and called him names too.
"Someone so young has that much fat around his belly."
Is what he said.
You have enough courage to be a commander of the army.
If he did and said all that to the King,
will we all just...
We all just what?
Get dragged off to be hung, drawn, and quartered?
We will be flogged and whipped before that.
Gye Ji Han. You are crazy. Crazy.
- You are crazy.
- Oh, dear.
I should open a tavern here.
Yes, you do that. This place...
It is no place for a clinic.
Oh, dear...
She is awake.
My gosh. I got scared, thinking you were dead.
You scared me.
What is your name?
Do you not know your name or age?
Do not scare her.
Where are you from? Have you eaten?
Why ask questions when she cannot speak?
That must be it. She cannot speak.
I see.
Now that you are awake, you should eat.
I will bring some porridge.
You woke up.
Good.
It is okay. This is a safe place.
They will all protect you.
You can trust us.
My lord. You asked to see me again.
I am eternally grateful.
My lord. Just give a command.
I serve you and you alone now.
A young girl will go to Sorak Village...
and look for Yoo Se Yeob.
Contact me as soon as it is confirmed,
and find out where she is taken.
I will come myself.
I will do that. Do not worry.
Last time, with my cunning, the royal investigator incident...
got taken care of. You know, right?
Do not dare take this lightly!
I brought something that I would like to offer up.
What is this?
It is a sweet drug that confuses the mind.
Once you take this,
you travel to and from paradise to purgatory.
You keep wanting more,
until later on, you sell your house and cattle.
Eventually, you give up your life.
That is what it is like.
It is evil.
The profit from this amount...
is much more than the profit from selling a crate of tobacco.
Much more.
If you so wish,
this could give you the nation.
Do you think it would be that easy?
You cannot cover the sky with one hand.
But my sky is you and only you.
Why can you not become the sky that lords over us all?
That is dangerous chatter.
I am so glad I did not use this yet.
At a more crucial time,
I will use you then.
I am a true master of scheming.
She will not speak.
The extreme shock and fear...
blocked her heart and mind.
We should try using wonjihan and bokshinsan.
Okay. I will use acupuncture on Jinjeong to help her relax.
You must get better.
I am doing this to treat you.
You are too afraid.
Acupuncture is out of the question.
Yes.
Time flies.
That punk.
What?
You crazy old hag! Do you know how much this costs?
Why are you back?
All you do is cause a ruckus.
Is that how you speak to adults?
You, teach her some manners.
You, you will pay.
You! What are you here for?
From now on, each time you step foot in our yard,
pay a fee.
You lot.
When a guest comes by, you should escort them inside.
I am here to get treated and to pay for it.
Unless it is terminal, get lost.
I am extremely busy, okay?
Yes, and I want to go inside and get a thorough check-up.
Hey! You scoundrel.
Move aside. Let me go in!
I washed the dirty rag! It is clean now.
Well done, Granny!
Hey, get lost.
What is so important about that wench?
What is with this hide-and-seek?
Well, it is none of my business.
Gyesoo Clinic is all I care about.
Very soon, it will be mine.
I am curious about what made you shut yourself off from others.
If there is anything you would like to tell me, write it down.
Here.
It is okay. Do not worry.
You do not have to write it in words.
There must be a reason Im Soon Man was here. It concerns me.
I will find a place for her to stay and move her there tomorrow.
Okay.
What should I do?
The Ojisangseung Therapy states...
that anxiety can only be overcome with joy.
Man Bok.
What would give her the most joy?
I heard many court maids feigned illness...
to visit their families.
She would be very happy if she could visit her family.
What is this?
Here, drink this.
Wait!
Wol!
Go away!
Wol!
- We should take her inside.
- Okay.
Is she not breathing?
She is. She may look like she is not breathing, but she is alive.
Eun Woo, administer acupuncture on Cheondol, Hwagae, and Okdang.
Okay.
You are...
The acupuncture points are Cheondol, Hwagae, Okdang.
You are that girl.
"That girl?"
One, two, three.
She has epilepsy.
She has turned the corner.
Use acupuncture on Geogweol, and she will wake up.
Okay.
Do you know her?
Yes, I recognized her...
when I saw the moles on her chest.
"Moles on her chest?"
Yes.
They form a triangle.
Even back then, I thought it was unusual.
Physician Yoo, were you a playboy in the Palace?
What?
You were. Of course, with that handsome face.
I knew it.
Gosh.
What? What are you saying, all of a sudden...
No. I swear, we did not have that kind of relationship.
Do not get the wrong idea.
Oh, dear.
That court maid is with Yoo Se Yeob now.
I told you to keep tabs on them.
Sure thing, my lord.
My servants are watching them...
with their eyes peeled all day and all night.
Lead the way.
I will finish her off with my own two hands.
It is okay. Relax.
You...
must remember me.
Take your time.
You can tell me when you are ready and want to talk.
Do you not want to visit your family back home?
You must miss your family.
Do not worry. I will go with you.
- What is going on?
- You little...
Who made this beautiful young lady cry?
- What happened?
- Why did you make her cry?
Physician Yoo, what is with you? Stop making women cry.
Young Master, can you explain what is going on?
It is not because of me.
She started crying when I brought up her family.
Oh, dear. What is the matter?
Do not cry.
It is okay.
It is okay.
My gosh.
Oh, dear.
I did not make her cry.
- My gosh.
- You poor thing.
That poor thing. What happened that she is such a wreck now?
Something must have happened to her family.
Oh, boy.
Was that why she had a seizure...
and fainted?
She must have gone home as soon as she ran away from the Palace.
But she will not even say a word, so...
She must have experienced something she could not handle.
So I would like to visit her family's home.
Would it not make the situation worse?
It is still her home.
The place where she was born and raised,
filled with good memories.
Bringing back the good memories will help her recover.
Oh, dear.
You must...
be overwhelmed with emotions,
which is why you cannot speak.
Even if that is true, do not let it wear you down.
Do not try to hide.
Even amid all that confusion,
there must still be memories that you cherish.
I would like to take you to your home...
and help you recall those memories.
Do you not wish to go?
If that is the case,
shake your head.
What do you say? Are you not up for it?
If you wish to go,
the people at the clinic will escort you there.
You are not alone anymore.
Look over there.
No way.
This is my first time leaving Sorak Village.
What a delight.
Pretty, is it not?
What about me?
This is unexpected.
Royal Inspector Cho is still suffering from his wounds.
I wonder where he could have gone.
I am worried that he will harm himself some more.
Do not worry too much.
Sin Woo is strong and is a gifted swordsman.
I see you trust him.
I have known him since childhood.
You two must share a lot of memories.
I guess we do.
But...
my current life means more to me right now.
Come on. Seriously?
Please give me one.
Let us unpack.
Sure.
Jang Gun, you should stay back with Lady Eun Woo and Wol.
Let us...
wait over there.
Goodness me.
Such barbarians!
I knew it.
Ip Bun, take Granny to get us some water.
Man Bok, follow me.
Let us clean up the mess.
The house looks warm and welcoming.
- Here.
- Ta-Da.
Goodness, I must starve to death.
Is eating all you care about?
Absolutely.
You can throw scholars at me, but all I will care about is food.
Wol,
let me know what you wish to eat.
I will make it all.
Goodness, is that so? If that is the case,
we should have beef.
Right,
Wol?
Beef.
Here.
What is this, Father?
Do you want us to talk through your drawings?
Is this a brazier?
Young Master.
I am off to collect some greens.
Sure.
Jang Gun, can you get me some more banggi and jihwang?
Sure.
You must...
be longing to see him.
I lost the only family member I had.
My father passed away.
You might...
also know of him.
Do you remember Supreme Commissioner Yoo Hoo Myung?
If, back then,
had I not treated the former king, would it have been okay?
If, back then,
I were not so arrogant,
then perhaps...
my father would still be alive.
Such thoughts...
prevent me from sleeping at night.
I wish to...
apologize to you too.
It is possible...
that the torment you are suffering...
is because of me.
So do not be too harsh on yourself,
or take it hard.
Because it is...
all my fault.
What are you doing, Jang Gun?
Butterfly.
Physician Yoo. It is a butterfly.
She drew a butterfly.
Then it was not the needles. It was the butterfly fastening.
It is okay. It is fine.
It is a drawing of a butterfly and nothing else.
Were you trying to say something?
Is that why you drew?
Okay. Say whatever it is you want to say.
I will listen.
Physician Yoo.
It is...
not your fault.
Your father...
was murdered.
What...
do you mean?
A man with a black jade butterfly ornament.
Commissioner Yoo...
was killed by that man.
You must die.
Was the royal inspector told to kill both my father and me?
I cannot disobey the order...
or kill the one who saved me.
You must leave and never show yourself again.
But he failed to kill me. Why?
There must be others with the same ornament.
It will not be Sin Woo.
We must find out who did it.
The girl's luck ran out...
when persistent little me caught on to her.
Oh, no.
Young Master!
I have bad news. Right now...
Im Soon Man is up to something.
He is coming this way with soldiers.
It is Wol and me they are after.
Why?
I will take Wol and escape.
Take the others and go to the crowded village center.
No. What if you get in danger?
Come with us.
It is us two they want.
I cannot put the rest of you in danger.
The market is close by, so they will not attack.
But still...
Oh, dear...
Take care.
We will be safe.
We must go. We must live.
Do not be afraid. I said I would protect you.
I will lead them that way. Stay here and hide.
You cannot do that. You might...
It is the King's command.
You must live, and I must keep you alive.
So live.
- Find her.
- Yes, my lord.
- Search.
- Yes, sir.
- Go after her.
- Yes, my lord.
- Go after her. Now.
- Yes, sir.
My lady. You said we must go.
Stay on this path and go straight to Gyesoo Clinic.
Stick to crowded roads.
Where are you going?
I will come too.
You must...
get the others safely back to Gyesoo Village.
I will get Physician Yoo.
- Go.
- My lady.
- Go on.
- My lady.
Wol.
Wol.
Physician Yoo.
What happened? Why are you alone?
I told Wol to hide, but she is gone.
Either she returned home to escape the men...
Lord Cho.
They must be hiding in the woods.
I will find them quickly and bring them to you.
Wol.
Wol.
I will take care of Yoo Se Yeob...
and retrieve the stiletto needle at all costs.
What will you do in Hanyang?
I will go with you.
Please spare me.
That is all. Please...
Hey!
How dare you sell such a thing?
- Arrest them all!
- Let go!
The Second State Councillor was deeply involved in it.
You must be very careful.
We brought the body from Seobinggo.
Dansacho was found in the blood of the court lady...
who tasted the King's food.
You will not get involved in anything dangerous.
Promise me.
