[Episode 11]
Did you want to see me, sir?
Were you in the storeroom last night?
Yes, sir.
Your job is to run errands. Why would you be in the storeroom?
You get into fights like a street thug, and now you steal from us?
Huh? What do you mean by that, sir?
Precious medicine was stolen last night. You are the thief, are you not?
No, sir. That is not true.
Then why were you in the storeroom last night?
Tell them the truth.
Is your silence an admission of guilt?
No. It wasn't me.
Then why were you there?
I sent him there.
I left some books in the storeroom, so I asked him to bring them to me.
You didn't touch the medicine?
No, I did not.
Only the expensive medicine was stolen. There must be a thief among us.
Who did it?
I'll find out who did it eventually.
Do-ji, a word.
This is preposterous.
Why did we accept this wanderer? He even got into a fight here.
I was against it, but Father permitted it.
Tsk, tsk! What a terrible judge of character.
Han-sang, are you outside?
Yes, ma'am.
Come inside.
Yes, Milady?
Find out some background on this Heo Jun character.
I believe Gu Il-seo introduced him.
Gu Il-seo? Isn't that Haman's husband?
Yes, that's right.
Good, you can ask Gu Il-seo or Haman about him.
Yes, ma'am.
Report the theft to the authorities and question all the merchants.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll handle this affair. Don't get involved with the clinic.
I am in charge of the patients while Father is away.
When will you find the time to study?
Focus on your studies for now.
Okay, Mother.
Prepare the ingredients for cicada tonic and ginseng tonic.
Which ingredients would you need?
Both tonics are for the patient with boils.
We made them yesterday. Must I tell you every day?
I know, cicada tonic needs dried cicada skin and licorice root.
Ginseng tonic needs perilla, pinellia ternata,
arrowroot, and poria mushrooms.
Right, Mi-geum prepare the ingredients. Cho-rye, clean the ward.
Yes, ma'am.
Come over here.
What is it?
Come when I tell you to.
You want to lose your job?
Show off like that again, and I'll sew your lips shut.
Thank you for your help.
Telling them that you read the prescriptions will make things worse.
Don't be so rash again.
I'll check back in a few days.
Okay.
Speak of the devil. We were just talking about you.
What about me?
You were accused of being a thief?
My name was cleared.
That's what YOU think. That man works for Doctor Yu.
He's asking around about you.
What did you tell him?
No need to worry. I can keep secrets.
I told you to quit that job and hunt with me instead.
I was very lucky today. I caught a bear and a wild boar.
I'm the best hunter in the world.
Let's go have a drink. It's on me.
No, thanks.
Trust me, I won't offer again. Come along.
Here.
Drink up.
Stop wasting your time, and quit what you're doing right now.
Check this out.
This is a bear's gall. I can get five coins.
And this is the gallbladder of a wild boar.
It works great on children's seizures. At least one full coin.
Where do you sell those?
Where do you think? It's easy.
I sell it to Doctor Yu or other herb and medicine merchants.
They only want cheap herbs here. I sell expensive ones in Haman.
Haman?
Why?
Who's there?
Bu-san-po's the thief! I sucked him dry last night.
He said he'd bring more money so let's have another go tonight.
I know he doesn't have the cash.
The only way to make the money is to sell stolen medicine!
Where the heck is Gu Il-seo?
Young-dal, go find out where he is.
You know he never refuses a chance to gamble.
Let's wait, he'll be here.
Listen up, I want to clean Il-seo out tonight.
Work with me, okay?
Not to worry.
You being a show-off? Sit down.
Ready to empty your pockets again?
Deal the cards.
Hold up.
What is it now?
Someone's here to see you.
Who?
You'll find out when you step outside.
Jeez!
Deal.
I'm taking everything home tonight.
What brings you here?
You know why I'm here.
What nonsense is this? Leave, I have no business with you.
Put the medicine back where they were.
What?
You punk, wanna die? Did you see me steal them?
You're unbelievable. I had nothing to do with that.
If you blabber this nonsense, I'll make your life a living hell.
Don't dump your sins on an innocent man!
You little--! Who are you trying to frame?
Know Yang Gong-do from Haman?
Merchants only buy cheap herbs here.
You'd need him to sell the expensive galls and bladders you stole.
Bastard, how dare you accuse me? I don't know this Yang Gong-do!
You worked for Doctor Yu for five years. Don't let those years go to waste.
Shut up! It wasn't me!
Fine, then I'll make you talk.
Boys, come out! Help!
Hey!
This bastard tried to kill me. Teach him a lesson.
Hold on!
Milady!
What's the matter?
All the missing medicines are back in the storeroom.
What are you talking about?
I'm not sure, but everything except the deer antlers are back.
What to do about the men from the magistrate's office?
Since my husband is away, let's not make a big deal.
Just guard the storeroom well.
Yes, ma'am.
Haman, can I ask you for a favor?
I want to share, but I don't have enough.
No, I didn't mean the food...
Since you lived here for a long time, can you find me mending work?
Are you skilled in sewing?
I'm not that skilled, but I've been doing it for years.
Can you find sewing work for me?
Who would want to make clothes at a time like this?
I guess you are right.
But I'm sure I can find someone.
There are noble ladies in Dangsangol who get new dresses for each season.
Can you help me?
But it's not that simple. Who would trust a complete stranger?
But you are acquainted with them. I'll make sure to pay you.
I'll give you a share of the money.
Get ready then. Let's go.
Right now?
Why waste time? We should do it right away.
Off we go!
Hurry.
I wonder if she's home.
Isn't this Doctor Yu's place?
The lady is quick-tempered, but she spends money like the highest nobles.
Let's go inside.
So beautiful.
That silk is so rare that even the ladies in Hanyang can't get it.
You can't get it even if you pay threefold.
Lady Kwon promised to give me extra if I get it for her.
What do you think?
- It suits you very well, Milady. - You look like a noblewoman, Milady.
Maids think anything flashy is nice. What do you know about quality?
So how many rolls did you bring?
I brought four rolls.
No need to go to Lady Kwon. I'll buy them all.
Yes, Milady.
Milady! Are you well?
Hello there. How are you?
Pay the lady a greeting.
Who are you?
I'm the mother of Heo Jun, who just started working here.
Heo Jun?
He recently joined. He runs errands and carries water.
So what brings you here?
This woman is very skilled in sewing, so I thought I'd introduce her to you.
Oh, really?
Ladies in her hometown lined up to get her to work on their dresses.
I'll do my very best if you allow me the chance, Milady.
First help me with housework.
I'll give you sewing work after I see how you do.
Thank you, Milady.
It's edema. Prescribe a tonic. Mainly use ginseng and rhizome.
For supplements, use citrus peels and poria, musk and snake's beard.
Yes, sir.
Let's see.
You're getting better.
The condition is renal glycosuria. Prescribe nutritious tonics.
For the prescription, use arrowroot and dried honeysuckle stems and leaves.
I see.
Hello, Milady.
See me for a moment.
How many patients do we have?
Six with terminal illnesses, and twelve with light symptoms.
How many of them are being treated for free?
It's...
Why aren't you answering? What is the matter?
Doctor Yu instructed me to treat them whether they can pay or not.
It's completely senseless! No wonder people take us lightly.
Since people hear that we work for free,
even the rich ones come here and pretend to be poor.
Doctors have to make a living, too! We can't starve to save other people.
But...
Send away the ones without money!
Help! Help us!
Help!
Lay him down over here.
What happened?
He fell from the rope.
I can't feel his pulse. Ask Master Do-ji to come.
Yes, sir.
Don't bother.
You treat him.
Huh?
Do-ji is busy studying for the state medical exam.
Don't make such a fuss and distract him from his studies.
But...
You worked here for ten years. You can't treat a simple injury?
Sir...
Perform acupuncture on the philtrum and between the eyebrows.
That will wake him.
I know that.
How did it go?
If there's a doctor in this house, why isn't he treating the patient?
Um…
Is it because we're lowly circus men?
Every life is treated preciously here. He knows what he is doing.
Don't worry.
Now that his condition is stable, treat his broken arms and legs.
Check his status constantly, and let me know if anything is wrong.
Yes, sir.
Do-ji.
I have something to discuss with you.
I have studied very hard under you and your father.
I read all the medical books by the great doctors.
I read books on medicine and treatments.
But all the knowledge is in my head. It's frustrating that I can practice it.
Allow me to treat patients.
Is that necessary? It's all kinds of dirty work.
It's very tiring work. It's too hard for a woman.
But I can do it.
I don't want you to. I wish you'd stop working as nurse.
Aren't you busy studying for your test? What are you doing here?
I called him. There was an urgent patient.
Do-ji needs to study. Don't bother him.
Don't take her words to heart.
- Hold on tight. - Yes, sir.
It will hurt.
Did you not hear what I said?
I told you to kick them out.
But...
What are you waiting for?
Get the freeloaders and these circus men out of here!
Yes, Milady.
Carry him on your back.
But he has been hurt badly. He could die...
Well, there's nothing we can do. We have to follow orders.
Hurry up.
Take the boy back.
What?
How can you do this? Kicking out a dying boy?
- Please save him! - Please!
It's a pity that he got injured while Doctor Yu is away.
If he were here, he would've treated the boy.
Take him away.
No, please save him! Please save him!
What are you waiting for? Get them out of here!
Please save him! Please save the boy!
What's going on here?
What are you doing with the patient?
I just asked you a question.

A patient must be comforted by the look in the doctor's eyes.
Meaning you must truly care for the patient.
You're clearly not there yet.
How could this happen? Kicking out this injured boy?
But the lady…
Shush! A doctor must stake his life to save people.
Did you learn nothing?
You must pass the exam, no matter what.
Pass and make my hard work worthwhile.
What kind of doctor will you become?
You're nowhere near ready.
Now I see your purpose.
You brought him here to make me give up the exam!
I'm trying to make you into a greater doctor.
I will prove that they are wrong about me.
Have a drink.
I studied the difficult medical books...
...for you.
He needs company on this long journey.
Take Heo Jun.
He's being sent for a reason. He will help Do-ji.
We're on the way to take the civil exam.
Clear out the commoners and make room for us.
Trying to kick out the people who were here first?
We won't leave!
