Episode 113
My lord, we need to go.
A little longer.
Doctor, please.
Staying puts us all at risk.
Please.
Sang-hwa will die if we do.
For him to die like this, it's not right.
What else can we do?
We can't stay here.
- My lord. - My lord.
Sang-hwa.
Doctor Heo, it's Sang-hwa. Sang-hwa!
- Sang-hwa. - Sang-hwa.
Sang-hwa...
Sang-hwa.
Sang-hwa!
Sang-hwa...
Turn around.
I can't.
- Turn around! - I can't!
Let go. Move!
Sang-hwa, we're coming!
Sang-hwa, Hang on!
Doctor Heo! It's me!
Sang-hwa!
Please, we'll all die.
Let go!
Sang-hwa...
Sang-hwa.
My lord, please, we'll all die.
Sang-hwa.
Sang-hwa...!
No, Sang-hwa!
Sang-hwa!
Sang-hwa...
...Sang-hwa...
Sang-hwa...
Sang-hwa, Sang-hwa...
How much further?
That's my girl. Just a little more.
Hello?
Hello? Anyone?
What brings you here?
As you can see, we're refugees.
It's been four days now.
Could we ask for cold rice, any li-i-ittle thing you can spare?
I got no rice, no gruel, no nothin'.
We have a pregnant woman.
Perhaps she could rest her a bit?
I don't have the luxury to take you all in. Go away.
I know we're at war, but aren't you being too much?
Too much? What's too much?
You think you're the first refugees we've seen?
We have to look out for ourselves.
Now go.
Wait, hang on, wait...
Filthy, petty...
Well, we'll have to move on.
Here.
Let's go.
Let's see now.
Her labor pains have started.
Kyeom, find an empty house, a stable, anything.
Okay.
Oh no, what do we do? What if she ends up having the baby on the street?
- Good. Push a little more. - A little more.
Good, good.
That's it. Good.
A little more.
Ugh.
Stay with us. A little more.
Hang on.
A little more.
...oh...
- Good, good. A little more. - A bit more.
Goodness.
- I'm going nuts. - Geez.
Hey, they'll let us know when it's born.
So stop acting like you gotta go and hold still.
Father.
Where were you?
Rice, rice.
- What? - Rice.
Not rocks, not rats, rice?
I'm confused because it's been so long.
It really is rice. Rice!
Where did you find it?
Rice can't be bought for love or money.
I traded two of my silk jackets for it.
That's my girl.
A great name, looks, the whole package.
You see that?
That's my girl.
Our savior, my little girl.
She'll tell a tiger, 'Catch a bunny,' and he would.
A real catch, my girl.
Well done.
Kyeom, I'll make you some rice.
Move.
Make it for who? Not for her dad?
That's a girl for you.
I should trade her in.
Her and her mother both.
Girls.
Ma'am.
Well?
It's a boy, a boy.
Well, now, Yang-tae.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Look at you. What are you crying for?
You wouldn't know what I'm feeling right now.
After following Jun all this time, I've been alone in the world.
Now my boy is born. You don't know how I feel.
I know.
Go on, cry.
I don't know why I'm tearing up too.
Blubbering on a day like this.
People dying all around us and here's new life.
The mystery of life, that's what it is.
She's right. All this war and hurt and misery.
Your boy is a reason to rejoice.
Call him 'Ha-Ha' for short.
Well done.
I remember when I met him.
Beating the drums fervently in order to release the bitterness in his heart.
I can still see him.
That boy...
It is a waste for him to die like this.
My lord, he may still be alive.
Enough of that.
It's no good hoping.
My lord, let him go.
If we don't, we'll stop him from moving on.
We have to say goodbye so he can leave.
He's a comfort to see.
May I?
My lord.
I'm going to rear this child.
Sang-hwa died to save him. He would want that.
It's the will of heaven.
He's my son now.
Reconnoiter the other side of the fort.
- Yes sir. - Yes sir.
Minister Jeong in the capital has deserted.
As have our soldiers to the south.
In Fort Pyongyang, Im Su-chan's son, Im Kuk-no
used his mother's illness as an excuse to run away.
And Pak Jeong ran away, saying he's looking for more men.
Yu U-shin and Doctor Heo both...
Enough.
They owed their allegiance to the throne. It does no good to tell the King.
At this rate, the enemy will reach Pyongyong within a few days.
We have to move our camp to Eui-ju and take His Majesty to the Ming.
You suggest we take the King across the Yalu?
Yes.
We have volunteers and the regular army.
You suggest running away?
You think I say this for myself?
What I do I do for the King.
Fleeing to the Ming is tantamount to abandoning his country.
It can't be allowed.
Listen to you.
And suppose he falls into the hands of the enemy, what then?
We'll get him across the river and go from there.
Your counsel offers sound advice, Sire.
We should send an envoy to the Ming to sound them out.
I agree, Sire.
You've seen the eyes of your subjects here in Pyongyang.
I worry what they might do,
even without the enemy bearing down on us.
Father.
The suggestion to run to the Ming should be dismissed out of hand.
How dare you?
I have seen the anger in the eyes of our people as well.
And who can blame them?
Running off with the court while the volunteers and troops fight the war?
How can they trust Your Majesty after that?
If we step foot outside our borders this land will never be ours again.
A country without a king is not a country.
A King that abandons his country is no king at all.
Running to the Ming is utterly absurd.
Please reconsider.
What?
Shh.
Where did you get that?
I traded some herbs for it.
Good for you.
You two.
What is this?
You little wretches...
We barely have a bean between us and you sit here stuffing yourselves?
What's going on here?
They found some rice balls and were eating them by themselves.
Is this true?
What have you been teaching these girls?
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
This won't do, no matter how bad it gets.
Never again.
- Yes ma'am. - Yes ma'am.
His Majesty is getting more tired.
See that he is given that twice a day.
Yes, doctor.
Doctor Yu.
What are you doing here?
My lord.
We have the same problem with herbs.
You should know that well.
Actually we have a request.
What?
Let us join the King's entourage.
Kangwon with Prince Sunhwa, Hamgyeong with Prince Im-hae...
It's a living hell.
The entire staff is busying tending the wounded on the battlefield.
Soon we'll all be dead.
Think of how we've followed you.
Please help us.
My lord.
I'll think about it.
Thank you.
No promises. But I'll mention it to the Chief Physician.
But that's pretty much you now.
Whatever you decide goes for the Chief Physician too.
My lord.
What?
Some people outside are looking for a member of your staff.
Who exactly?
A Doctor Heo.
I said he's not here, but they won't go.
If the King is here, he has to be here.
It must be a mistake. Ask again.
There's Doctor Yang and that's about it.
This Heo Jun character isn't with the retinue.
That can't be. Ask again, please.
There's no need.
My lord.
You're looking for Doctor Heo?
Yes.
I'm afraid you wasted a trip. He's not here.
Where is he?
No idea.
He said he would meet us.
But he never showed up.
That's the last we heard. He may well have run away.
He said he would meet us. But he never showed up.
That's the last we heard. He may well have run away.
- Mother. - Lady Da-hee.
I'm fine.
Three pieces.
Line up!
Pay up and line up!
Pay up! Pay up and line up!
Sorry I can't give a lot.
No line-jumping now.
Did you pay?
Don't shake it.
42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47...
...Oh, yeah...
48, 49, 50...
One grain makes two, two grains makes a feast.
61, 62, 63, 64...
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... - Hey.
You messed me up.
What should we sell next?
I'm not sure. Let's see what makes us the most cash.
Count.
Where was I?
61, 62... Can't you keep quiet?
You're sure?
There's no doubt? You double-checked?
Yes.
Do-ji told us himself.
Jun never met them.
Then where is he?
Did he run away?
Now you're just being stupid.
He's not the type.
Then where was he?
Where did he go? Where could he be?
Mother.
We should have waited for him.
We shouldn't have left him this way.
Try not to worry.
I'm sure he's fine.
We're here. We made it.
Hong-chun, I made it.
Ma'am.
Well done.
Let's go.
- Milady, I-- - I don't want to hear it.
Are you saying that those medical books were more important than His Majesty?
Leave now.
Did you hear news of his family?
Mother.
What brings you here?
Why are you being so disrespectful to your father?
How could you be so indifferent to us?
No one will understand your going back for the medical texts.
It was foolish of you.
Please delay the course.
- We cannot change our course to Eui-ju. - Do-ji.
They say we cannot go to Eui-ju.
It is obvious how the people with react. I will stay behind.
I will remain behind.
The one who must serve by His Majesty's side is not me, but you.
I will leave my health to Do-ji. You stay behind and tend to the Crown Prince.
