Pour me a drink at least.
Pour.
Wench! What are you doing?
Pour me a drink! Now!
Sir.
She must be feeling uncomfortable.
It seems she doesn't want to be here.
Why don't you send her back?
What? Are you drunk? You don't speak to Lord Jung like that!
There are plenty of other courtesans.
I can bring you all the girls you want. Please send her back, sir.
I guess I have made a grave mistake.
It seems that you like her. You must be jealous that I took her.
It seemed you didn't care for women, but you were secretly in love?
She moved this man with a heart of ice. You should give her up, sir.
Considering that I am his senior, the rules of seniority have been compromised.
Wouldn't you all agree?
Come, let's drink.
Drink up.
Lady Ye-jin.
I'm so sorry.
Please quit being a nurse.
I can't bear to see you go through this.
After losing my wife three years ago, I thought I'd never fall in love again.
I never thought my heart would ache for someone again.
I'll protect you.
Can't you accept my heart?
So that I can protect you?
Sir...
I know how you feel about Doctor Heo.
I'm not saying you should say yes now.
But please allow me to approach you.
So that I can prove my feelings.
I guess it's true that nurses are sent to banquets to serve as courtesans.
Maybe Lady Ye-jin was sent there. I didn't see her at her quarters earlier.
This is a serious matter.
Sir!
Sir, come quickly!
What's the matter?
Someone has hung himself in the tonic room.
What?
Help me.
What are you waiting for?
Yes, sir.
Is he dead?
Why did it have to happen on the night of your shift?
The fellow hung himself?
He hung himself on the grounds?
Yes, sir.
How could something like this happen?
What did you do with the body?
What's going on?
Guys!
Guys! Guys!
Did you hear? Assistant Park hung himself in the tonic room.
Is that really true?
Yes! I heard it from Assistant Oh myself!
How terrible!
By the time Oh found him, his tongue was sticking out like this.
Doctor Heo tried to save him, but what could he do when he was dead?
He was working the nightshift last night?
Yes.
What bad luck for Doctor Heo.
Since the man killed himself inside the public hospital,
this won't go away quietly.
Doctor Heo will be held responsible.
What a shameless man. Why did he hang himself in here?
Sir, what do you intend to do?
We have to contact the administration.
Sir?
But this happened in the public hospital.
Shouldn't we bury this incident quietly?
A man committed suicide here. We must report this incident.
What if this creates a problem for us later?
Don't worry, I'm close with the justice.
What were you doing?
You were on duty last night.
You are responsible for failing to prevent the incident.
Sir, I don't think that's fair.
What?
If someone is determined to die, how is anyone supposed to stop him?
It happened while Doctor Heo was working the shift.
This is completely your responsibility, so clean up the mess quickly.
Let's go, sir.
Darn them!
Trying to save their necks right now.
How were you supposed to save a man set on killing himself?
Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right.
The girls I told you about, sir.
They helped at the clinic when I was in Saneum.
They were known for being hard-working.
And they're pretty knowledgeable about nurse work.
Your names?
I'm Cho-rye.
I'm Mi-geum.
To be a nurse is to be a medicine courtesan.
And medicine courtesans must know how to give massages.
Can you give massages?
Yes, sir, I'm very good.
Then give it a try.
Yes, sir.
She's got good hands.
Let's change rooms and you can show me how good you are.
In private.
Sir, news from the public hospital.
What is it?
An assistant hung himself and died.
What?
What's wrong?
What?
Why are you so nervous? Have you committed a crime?
Watch your darn mouth when you talk to your husband!
Where is Yang-tae, anyway? Is he super busy?
Il-seo! Il-seo!
Yang-tae!
There he is.
- I've prepared everything. - Good job.
Prepared what?
You don't need to know.
What do you mean? Tell me.
Ma'am, your days of poverty are over.
Shush.
I'm gonna be late so don't wait up.
We'll get down tomorrow.
Darn you! Help out at the shop!
Come on in, Justice Heo.
It's been a while.
Have a seat, sir.
Sit.
An assistant hung himself on the grounds?
Yes, it's quite a headache.
We'll need your help to bury this matter quietly.
Why the big deal over an assistant's suicide?
Don't worry, I'll handle it.
First I should meet with the doctor who was working the nightshift.
Of course, sir.
Doctor Heo!
The justice wants to see you.
What?
This doctor was working the nightshift.
This is Justice Heo.
I'm Heo Jun.
We'll need to go somewhere private to discuss the details.
What a small world.
I never imagined I'd run into you here.
I don't know how you became a doctor at the public hospital,
but you must've hidden your history.
This pretty much guarantees that your career is over.
- Brother. - Shut up!
Who are you calling "brother?"
Do you know how you ruined my father?
And my mother...
She passed away with great resentment in her heart.
I want to ruin you right now, but that would be too easy.
I'm going to bleed you to death slowly.
You'll get on your knees and beg for a quick death!
Just wait and see.
Justice Heo.
After talking to the doctor, I decided this matter is too grave.
The constabulary will have to launch an investigation.
Sir, you promised to help me.
I will pay you handsomely. Please help.
Unfortunately, I can't. I will contact the constabulary.
Let's go.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Justice Heo! Justice Heo!
What's going on?
My goodness.
Who was the first to find the body?
He did.
And the doctor next to him was on night duty.
It is extreme disloyalty to take one's own life in a government office.
Somebody ought to be held responsible.
But it seems to be a clear cut case. I'll take it as a simple suicide.
Thank you, sir.
What are you waiting for? He's being generous about this case.
You should thank him.
Sir.
Nothing will happen to Doctor Heo.
I know how you feel about Doctor Heo.
I'm not saying you should say yes now.
But please allow me to approach.
So that I can prove my feelings.
What about the goods?
I've got the ginseng, hemp cloths and the flower-patterned mats they asked for.
How come Oh-keun is so late?
Darn him and his short legs.
Don't be so nervous. Just trust me on this.
Drink up.
I'm so nervous I can't even drink.
Oh-keun!
What took you so long?
Gosh, darn it.
We have to meet the smugglers by the ferry tonight.
We should get ready to leave.
Let me have a drink.
Work first, drink later.
I'm out.
- Wha...? - What?
What are you talking about?
Everything is ready. Why are you saying this now?
I don't want to go.
Did something happen?
I just saw a man who hung himself. I feel unlucky today.
Leave me out of this.
Do you want to see me and Yang-tae die?
If you back out, we're going to hang ourselves at your house!
Die another way. No hanging, please.
Then should I drown?
You don't need to worry. Trust me.
All you have to do is to come with us and watch us get the money.
Come on.
Hush! I'm trying to think!
- Thinking complicates things! - Darn you!
Geez!
Come on, hurry along.
Dude, it's a miracle I'm walking this fast.
Wait for me!
They're not here yet. Let's wait.
Mine's the heaviest.
Look at that fool.
How can he sleep at a time like this?
He doesn't have a worry in the world.
Ignorant brute.
Too ignorant.
Yang-tae! Yang-tae!
Yang-tae!
Look!
All right. Let's go.
Go? Go?
I brought the goods you asked for.
We have to check what they brought, so why don't you go and have a look?
Why me?
You are the only man who can distinguish medicinal ingredients.
- Go. - Darn you...!
Careful, careful.
Best ginseng ever!
They are high quality ingredients but the amount is less than promised.
It will be our loss to trade the goods.
They didn't keep their word?
Don't worry.
Forget it. The deal is off.
Well, it's your loss.
(What are you...?)
(Do something!)
The ferry patrol will make their round soon.
It's your loss if you keep wasting time.
- What now? - Do something.
Like I said, I can't agree to this sort of deal!
Well, we feel the same way.
Yang-tae, what now?
Let me think.
Gil-sang. Set it on fire.
Jun, what's wrong with you?
- Step back! - Jun!
Are you mad? How much do you want?
You know how much I want.
Ten silver coins for twenty silk rolls.
Are thirty coins enough?
Set them on fire.
- Eh? - Fire?
Crazy fool! Fire?
- Oh my! - What's wrong with you?
Are you just going to let them burn?
Are you?
I couldn't care less about it.
Nice, big fire.
Everything's burning!
Hey, do something!
Put out the fire! Hurry!
You fool! Why set them on fire?
Since much of your goods are damaged, I can't make the deal as we agreed.
I'll make up for the burnt goods with cash.
Fine, then.
(Why, you!)
Fool...!
How can you drink at a time like this? Huh?
You can still drink?
How?
Enough, he feels bad.
Stop hitting him.
- Stop! - Stop!
- It pains me! - It pains me more!
So painful!
I want to ruin you right now, but that would be too easy.
I'm going to bleed you to death slowly.
You'll get on your knees and beg for a quick death!
Just wait and see.
What happened?
The case was closed with no complications.
Thank goodness! I was worried about you.
Anyway, everybody is saying that it's suspicious.
His colleagues all say that Park had no reason to kill himself.
But we can't ask a dead man. This is so frustrating.
Sir.
I have my own suspicions about it, too.
Suspicions? What do you mean?
