Lady Ye-jin, what's the matter?
Where is he...?
I'm so sorry. I was looking for my husband.
You haven't been yourself these days. What is the matter?
[Episode 46]
Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
Chase rabbits and butterflies in your dream.
This isn't right.
What's wrong? Why are you so restless?
Honey, I...
What is it?
No, never mind.
What is it?
I...
No, never mind.
What the... Will you just tell me!
It's about Lady Ye-jin at the clinic.
What about Lady Ye-jin?
I think Jun is having an affair with her.
It could happen... What?
I think they've fallen for each other.
Fallen and not tripped?
I'm serious here.
Will you cut the nonsense?
You better not open your big mouth and make Jun and Lady Da-hee fight.
Got it? Got it?
Dear girl, I think I married a dog!
Oh, hello.
Go on, keep working.
I guess you're not much better off even if your husband is a famous doctor.
He doesn't have any love for his family, so why make money for you?
How is your husband doing lately?
Since he is so busy at the clinic, he doesn't come home very often.
Then you sleep alone?
Oh, goodness.
Come closer.
What's so funny? I'm not joking.
He is cheating because you are so trusting.
Men are all the same. Your husband is no different.
Doctor Heo, Doctor Yu is looking for you.
I'll be right there.
You asked for me?
Take a look at the patient.
Yes, sir.
Feel the pit of his stomach.
Yes, sir.
I feel hard skin as if his blood is clogged.
It's dead skin, not clogged blood.
Are you saying that he has stomach cancer?
Have you seen a patient with it before?
This is my first time.
Look at him closely.
Yes, sir.
What is stomach cancer?
What are you going to prescribe him?
For vomiting blood, eating loquat helps.
And panax notoginseng roots are also good.
You're wrong.
There is no cure for this disease.
Doctor, what do you mean? Are you saying I am going to die?
You should take him home.
Doctor!
All I can do is to minimize his pain. There's nothing more I can do.
Make "Shinsun-talmyung-dan" using orpiment, borax, and frankincense.
Yes, sir.
Doctor, please save him! We can't go home like this.
Perform acupuncture.
Doctor, please save my husband! We can't just leave!
Doctor... Doctor! Please save my husband.
Please! Please save him!
Acupuncture, anything!
Have him take the medicine three times a day.
Will he live if he takes the medicine?
Give us medicine that will save him.
We don't need useless medicine.
Please tell us what he can do to live.
Doctor.
There's no guarantee that he'll live, but there's a slight chance.
So take this medicine as I instructed.
Yes, Doctor. Thank you!
Thank you.
You shouldn't have said that.
That patient will pass away soon. You only gave them false hope.
But we have to do everything we can.
We can't just wait for death to come without doing anything.
Pack your things and come with me.
Here we are.
Where are we?
Samjuk and I had stumbled onto this home by chance.
They lived here for three generations. There is a patient with cancer.
He will die soon. Take care of him until then.
Master.
There are more diseases that we can't cure than we can.
When you find what you cannot do, you'll realize many things.
Doctors should try everything they can to cure a disease,
but they should not let falsely believe that they can cure all diseases either.
Go on in.
Yes, sir.
Father... Father!
Father! Father!
Sir, there is an urgent patient.
What is his condition?
I just got here myself.
This is...!
It's murrain.
Move all the patients out of here immediately!
Sir!
Hurry, hurry.
Murrain is extremely contagious, right?
You'll die in less than three days if you get it.
What?
I'm so scared.
Bring the Nokeun-shinmyung-san.
Yes, sir.
No! Brother! What's wrong?
Brother! Doctor!
Brother! Brother!
How many patients are there in your village?
There were dozens yesterday.
Then why did you come to the clinic now?
A shaman said we'd be okay with a talisman.
Though it is terrible for the deceased, we must burn their bodies.
What? Brother! Brother!
Burn the bodies, towels and blankets that were used by the infected.
Sir?
What are you waiting for?
Yes, sir.
Deliver this to the magistrate.
Yes, sir.
There is an epidemic spreading in Dushi-gol.
Once murrain begins to spread, thousands of people will die.
The disease hasn't spread to other villages yet.
Block all roads to Dushi-gol to contain it.
Yes, sir.
You two come with me to Dushi-gol.
The rest of you, barricade the roads.
Yes, sir.
Make sure that the people don't panic.
Yes, sir.
Stay here. I will go by myself.
What do you mean?
Dushi-gol is a small village. I can do it alone.
I'm not worried about you. I have my duty as a doctor.
I'll go with you, too.
You stay at the clinic.
Master!
Do as Samjuk says.
If Jun returns, make sure he doesn't come anywhere near Dushi-gol.
Let's go.
You can't go this way. There is an epidemic in Dushi-gol.
An epidemic?
- Understand? - Yes, sir!
Doctor Yu.
What is the situation?
Dozens of the villagers have died already.
We need young men to move patients and set fire to the houses.
You must find the men in the village. Nobody will volunteer to go in.
He's right. Let's go.
He's a doctor from Hancheon-gol. Work with him and stop the epidemic.
Sir, I can't go into Dushi-gol.
What?
I do not want to die, sir!
What? And you call yourself a doctor?
Maybe I should just cut off your head!
Sir! Please don't kill me sir!
Your Honor, you can let him go.
Doctor Yu.
We can handle the task by ourselves. Just let him go.
You coward! Get out of my sight.
Let's go.
Husband!
You shouldn't stay here.
We have to go!
Ma'am! Ma'am!
She's already dead.
Gather the bodies and set them on fire.
Set fire to all the empty houses.
Yes, sir!
Husband! Husband!
What's wrong? Father!
This won't cure the patient!
Hurry up and move him out!
Yes, sir.
The patients must be made to sweat and have diarrhea.
I'll take care of things here. Go and get the medicine we need.
All right.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving the clinic.
What? Leave? And go where?
We'll be full of contagious patients soon.
We'll surely get infected.
But you can't just leave. Who will help the patients?
You should come with me. I don't want to die.
I don't either, but...
Not coming with me? Then I'm off.
But...!
Hey, are you going somewhere?
I'm going home to Gurye.
Why so suddenly?
What? An epidemic?
Quiet, people can't find out.
Tell my brother to stay home for the time being.
Okay.
A plague? Oh, no! An epidemic!
Honey, there's big trouble! Big trouble!
You say that all year long.
There has been an outbreak of plague in Dushi-gol!
What? Plague!
Put this around your waist. Stuff it in deep.
What's this?
It's a lucky charm to scare away plague spirits.
Then Eon-nyun, too.
Oh no, oh no. What do we do?
It's absolutely terrible!
Did you hear from Jun?
Not yet.
I wonder if he went to that village.
Father! You can't die.
Father. Father!
Doctor, please save him. Save my father.
Please save my father.
I'm sorry.
There is nothing I can do.
Save him.
Father! Father!
Father!
Ha-dong, go to Lord Kim's house.
Yu-wol, go to Lord Song's house.
Yes, Milady.
Make sure you meet the madams and not just their maids.
Don't worry, Milady.
Then get going.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
- What's in here? - Expensive jewelry.
What?
Bribes to curry favor for Master Do-ji.
If anything happens to them, the madam will murder you.
It's me.
Come in.
When are they assigning you to a department?
I heard in four days.
I made preparations, so you should be set.
What do you mean?
If it was just about skill, you'd be a royal physician.
But there is still that incident between your father and Doctor Yang.
Leave it to me. I will win him over yet.
Eui-tae!
You should take a break.
I'm fine.
Stop being stubborn and get some rest.
You'll die before the plague victims.
Don't worry about me. Go back to the patients.
Goodness.
Doctor Heo.
You mean they are in Dushi-gol now?
Yes.
I must go.
No, you can't.
The master ordered me to keep you from going.
Is that what he really said?
He wants you to take care of patients here.
But there are no urgent patients in the clinic at this time.
Unless we do something fast, many more lives will be lost.
They will need many doctors. I must go and help.
A plague? Let's turn back.
Where are you going?
To Saneum.
You can't pass through here. You'll have to go around.
What's the matter?
There's an epidemic in Dushi-gol now.
What? An epidemic.
I wouldn't go to Saneum if I were you. That town isn't safe either.
What? How could this have happened?
I have a private matter to discuss.
I'm listening, ma'am.
When you leave for Saneum, Do-ji will ask a favor regarding Ye-jin.
But you must not relay anything or receive anything from her.
Simply inform my husband of Do-ji's marriage.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
Who are you?
Please let me enter the village. I'm Doctor Heo Jun.
Are you really Heo Jun?
Yes, I am.
Go on then.
Let him through.
Eui-tae.
This is too much for you.
I'll take care of things here. You go and rest.
No.
If you keep up like this, you'll die before they do.
I'm soon to die anyway. Don't worry.
Master!
I told you not to come here. Why did you disobey me?
Lady Ye-jin told me, but...
Go back at once. Samjuk and I can take care of things here.
Go back.
I heard there are many urgent patients in the village.
Please let me stay and help you.
You must leave immediately!
Master.
Murrain is very contagious. It won't spare you because you're a doctor.
Go back.
No, I can't, Master.
I can't leave you or the patients.
My foremost duty is to take care of patients.
How can you tell me to run away when they need my help?
Even if I have to die here, I can't leave.
Such an attitude is not always good.
The world needs a doctor like you.
Samjuk and I will stay. You go home.
Master!
I said, leave!
I can't do that, sir.
Why, you...!
I was assigned to the palace and am a royal physician.
You have many things to accomplish. Go home now.
