SECRET HEALER

EPISODE 5

How did it go?

We searched the entire lake where the Princess fell,

but we couldn't find her.

Okay.

You may leave now.

The curse will not lift easily

even if the princess is dead.

But why...

Your spell will end up taking your own life.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Mother.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Can you recognize me?

Mother.

I...

I'm hungry.

Is anybody there?

Bring some food for the Crown Prince, immediately!

Are you awake now?

Mother.

Are you okay?

Thank goodness.

I'm so glad.

I'm truly relieved.

Why you son of a...

-I'm going to teach you a lesson! -Hey, stop.

I told you not to hit him where people can see.

-All right, Dong-rae. -Yes, sir.

I was thinking since yesterday

that Jun and his mother were acting a little suspiciously.

So, I went there to check up on them,

and neither of them were there.

I guess they're trying to come up with a stupid plan.

Don't you think so?

I don't know anything about it.

I really don't know.

-Is that right? -Yes, sir.

If that is the case,

you probably also don't know what happens

to runaway servants when you help them

or hide them, right?

I don't know.

You really don't know?

-I don't know anything about it. -Poor thing. Is that right?

I really have no idea.

Then what about the fact

that your mother is a servant?

You don't know that, either?

Well, I am aware of that.

-You are? -Yes, I am.

So are you saying that you and Jun are in the same boat?

Dong-rae, you better tell me when I'm still being nice to you.

You don't want this to end up harming you in any way, do you?

Am I wrong?

Goodness.

Have I been treating you too civilly? This is ridiculous.

Hey, give me something to hit him with.

I'm sorry, sir.

-What did you say? -Please spare my life.

Please don't kill me.

I won't kill you.

I may not look it but I'm a warm-hearted person.

I'll never kill anyone so don't worry.

Instead... What shall I do?

Let me cut off one of your ears.

You can totally live without it. You will still be able to hear everything.

Flex your ear so that it can be cut off easily.

-No, please. -Sang-man, hold him down.

-Okay. -Hey, get his hands off his ears.

All right. Hold him down, guys.

-Please don't do this. -Hold him.

-Please, sir. -Get his hands off his ears.

Hold him tightly.

-Please. -Don't move.

All right. One,

-two. -Wait!

Wait, please.

Why?

Are you going to tell me now?

BOAT TICKETS AUGUST 20TH 1195

Mother.

All right, everyone!

It's time now, so come on out!

-What? -Pardon? Is it here now?

Have your ticket ready.

-Hurry up! -Your ticket.

-Hurry up, everyone. -Go.

-Check everyone's ticket. -Move it!

Have your ticket ready prior to boarding.

-It's here. -Move along.

Move on.

-Show me your ticket! -Here it is.

-Check everyone thoroughly. -Yes, sir.

Ma'am.

Go on.

Jun's mother?

What are you doing here?

Well,

master.

What are you doing here

without your master's permission?

Are you trying to run away with your son now or what?

Well, your son is a very smart fellow.

He wouldn't do such a thing, knowing that you would be caught.

-Well, it's... -So, what are you doing here now?

Master.

I'm asking why you're here now.

I did this myself.

Jun doesn't know anything.

Please forgive me.

Jun really has nothing to do with this.

This is why you shouldn't be too generous.

I provided you with food and a place to stay.

How dare you betray your master?

-Please... -Stop it.

I will...

Hey, listen up.

I will be sure

to rip you and your son to pieces.

I'm sure you know what happens to servants who run away.

-Come here. Come on. -Master.

-Come on! -Please.

-Jun really doesn't know anything. -Come here.

-Master, please. -Get up.

-Please. -Shut your mouth, okay?

Be quiet.

You're a lowly servant.

-You're not even a human. -Please.

You just need to bark like a dog.

Like this. All right?

-Come here. -He really doesn't know anything.

Can you be more specific?

-Come on. -Please forgive me.

Come closer.

-Master, please forgive me. -What is this now?

What is going on? What should we do?

No!

-Darn it! Go away! -Master.

Let go of me!

-Goodness. I need you here. -Master.

Sit down. Lower your back!

Master.

-Let go. -Please, master.

-I said, let go! -Please.

Get off of me.

-Let me go! -Master, please help me.

Goodness, let go of me.

-Master, please. -Just stay here and die!

No!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Mother.

Please wake up.

Mother.

Mother.

Jun.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry

that I am your mother.

If...

you were born...

to a different mother...

Mother, please don't say that.

You are all I need.

I don't need anything else.

I know you've been in a lot of pain.

I'm sorry.

As your mother,

I am

really sorry.

Mother.

Open your eyes.

Mother, please.

It's all my fault.

Mother.

Ok.

What's wrong?

Goodness gracious.

Mother, what should I do now?

About what?

Because of me,

-Jun's mother... -Don't worry.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Why are you so scared?

It is a servants' duty to sacrifice their lives to save their master.

Of course you should have been the one to live.

Are you saying that you should've died to save that lowly servant?

-Mother. -Plus,

she was going to run away with her son.

I clearly told her to lay low and not to cause trouble.

Those two brought the disaster upon themselves.

Do not worry about it.

Sit tall and straight.

Keep your head up, too.

You're the eldest son

of the Heo family who will become a key government official.

Just think that you had a nightmare and forget about it.

Do you understand?

Thank you so much.

The Crown Prince wasn't recovering, so I was getting anxious.

You never disappoint me.

To show you my gratitude,

I will do my best to support the Hall of Stars.

I'm counting on you.

Please eat slowly.

Are you okay?

I am much obliged for your concern, Your Highness.

Since nothing has happened to you

it must mean she is dead.

Is that what is concerning you?

If her highness, the princess is alive

I wouldn't be fine like this.

Then why did the Crown Prince become like that all of a sudden?

By any chance,

is it because of your sorcery?

Not at all.

Her Highness' death

has already washed the curse away entirely.

The Crown Prince is physically and mentally weak at the moment

so a bad energy is temporarily inhabiting him.

And the bad energy

just happened to inhabit him on his 17th birthday?

If it was my sorcery

that made the Crown Prince like that,

what would you do about it, Your Highness?

-What did you just say? -So, just believe me.

Why you little...

The Crown Prince is not just your child.

I risked my life to give him life.

How dare you?

What are you trying to tell me now?

I'm saying that I will assist and serve him until the very end.

Tell me.

What are you going to do to the Crown Prince?

I'm telling you this now so that you can put your mind at rest.

What do you mean?

Hong-joo disappeared?

There is nobody at the shrine.

All of her apprentices have disappeared, as well.

What?

Your Highness.

What is the matter?

Well, His Highness,

The Crown Prince is...

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Wake up.

Open your eyes for me.

It's your mother.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Prince Soon-hoe, what happened?

You!

Bring Hong-joo here.

Bring her to me right now!

Your Highness.

Hong-joo

has disappeared.

What did you say?

What do you mean by that?

Then what will happen to Prince Soon-hoe?

He needs to...

I cannot let this happen.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Open your eyes!

Please, Prince Soon-hoe!

Open your eyes for me!

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Crown Prince, please come back.

Crown Prince, please come back.

Spirit of the Crown Prince of Joseon,

please come back!

Crown Prince, please come back.

Crown Prince, please come back.

Crown Prince, please come back.

Your Highness.

If you want to abandon me like that

I have no choice, either.

Any blade causes more pain

when it is being taken out than when it is being thrusted.

Please stay well and healthy until the day we meet again.

Crown Prince, please come back.

Mother.

Do you know what day it is today?

Goodness, silly. Of course, I do!

-Tell me, then. -Today is...

-Go on. -Ok's

-birthday! -It's Ok's birthday!

It's my birthday!

-Let's celebrate! -Let's celebrate!

Let's drink until we drop!

-Let's drink! -Let's drink!

Mi-hyang will fall under the spell of my charms today.

Jun!

Hey, where are you going?

Jun, come and drink.

Come here.

Let me pour you a drink. Here.

Hey.

Today is my birthday.

You should eat and drink with us.

Stay for the music and dance, too.

Oh, right.

Your mother's funeral is going on.

What can I do, though?

I can't do the three-year mourning period with you.

She must be precious to you because she's your mother.

But to me, she's just one of the poor servants.

What?

You seem like you're going to punch me.

What can I do?

Even if I beg you, nothing will change because she's dead.

Will you be able to handle it?

Master,

please spare my life.

Please, Master.

Mi-hyang!

Bring more wine.

I wish you

a happy birthday.

I wish you

a long, healthy life.

Okay.

I will live a long, healthy life.

Thanks.

Guys, let's drink

-Master. -until we drop dead.

This.

You dropped this.

Oh, that.

Why do you have this?

That's strange.

I thought I lost it.

Thanks anyway.

Let's drink!

Let's drink, guys!

FIVE YEARS LATER

There is a woman who is hiding

deep in the mountains

at a place where humans can't easily find.

Her skin is as white as snow and her lips are as red as blood.

Her eyes are filled with sadness.

She can move objects without touching them at all

and she sucks life out of everything around her.

People call this woman

a witch, a sorceress.

Whenever the full moon rises,

she changes into a monster and attacks people

to take their hearts like this.

Gosh, you startled me.

Stop it. I'm getting scared.

What are you talking about? This is where the best part begins.

That woman

seduces people

with her striking looks first and attacks them!

Goodness.

That story about the ghost that eats human hearts

hasn't changed at all after all this time.

I'm sick of hearing it.

Is that story

about the Red Robe

whom everyone is talking about these days?

Oh, yes. That's right.

The Red Robe.

This witch kills people, dressed in a red gentlemen's robe.

She shows up out of nowhere

and disappears into thin air, so no one has seen her face.

But if this witch wears a gentlemen's robe,

doesn't that mean it's a man?

Oh, you're right.

Then should we call this mysterious witch a warlock?

Well, it's not like only men can wear robes. Am I wrong?

Women can also do this to... I'm sure they can wear it, too!

Of course, they can.

-I'm sure they do. -Stop being silly.

Hey!

Stop talking rubbish and just pass the cards around.

Oh, right.

-That's right. We got distracted. -Yes.

We forgot what we were doing.

I'm not a greedy man.

Let's be honest. It's not like this game can change our lives.

My goodness.

Think about it. Nothing will change.

My lord, you didn't forget the promise you made, right?

Of course! How could I forget my promise? Impossible.

All right.

Okay. Then let's begin.

Here I go.

-Oh, my! -My goodness.

Well, I just want to say

that I don't like losing.

We're here to have fun. Let's have a fun game.

I have nine! My two cards add up to nine!

I got two of the same card, so I won.

Wait, hang on. Hold on a second.

If that is the case,

what will happen after this?

He trumped them all!

Hey, did you see that?

Unbelievable.

How did that happen?

That's impossible.

Why?

Did I win a game I wasn't supposed to win?

I'm not sure if you've seen these.

"The accused host gambles illegally all over the country

and trick people by using hand gestures they have devised."

Compared to how the rumor makes you look,

this is like a total joke.

I'm disappointed.

Who are you?

Who the hell are you?

That hurts.

Catch them!

-There they are. Get them! -They are over there!

Catch those swindlers!

Let go of me!

-What are you doing? Arrest them. -Yes, sir!

-Let's go. -You're coming with us!

-Let go of me! -Come on!

It's you again.

Thanks to you, we've been able to catch these troublemakers.

This really made my day.

Please don't mention it.

I just served my duty as a chief constable.

Now, I just want to catch that murderer known as the Red Robe.

If we could do that, I would have no more worries.

Anyway, you did a great job today.

Sir.

They will be promoting a few officers soon.

You can expect some good news.

Hey, Jun.

Take this.

Good work.

Take it.

Master.

I didn't do much at all.

You've been generously providing

someone like me with food and a place to sleep.

This is the least I could do to show you my gratitude.

Yes, that is true.

I'm not doing this for myself. You know that, right?

I need to succeed

in order to be able to take care of you as well.

Let me add one more thing.

I'm so glad to see you coming to terms

with your reality at such a young age.

What if you are the type who doesn't know his place,

and foolishly pursues useless, vain dreams

such as obtaining a post in the government?

You would end up wasting so much time.

Why would you want to do that?

This is so much better.

We're helping each other out, and you get to use your skills.

Isn't it so great?

You're absolutely correct.

I'll let you know when I need your help again.

Get some rest now, okay?

What's that? Well, then.

Hey, give it to me now.

Gosh, you're so impatient.

-I want to see it, too. Let me smell it. -Hold on.

Does this thing really make men become that great?

Of course.

So, you're saying that this will allow me

to have an amazing experience in bed, right?

Probably,

you will notice the change in the way men look at you first.

If that's the case,

you should show me first.

What do you want to see?

The effectiveness of this elixir.

If I witness its effectiveness with my own eyes,

I'll buy ten more bottles.

You know what?

I don't need

an elixir like that

to give you an amazing experience.

What do you say?

Will you be able to handle it?

Gosh, this is no fun.

Nothing is fun anymore.

Seo-ri.

Seo-ri.

What are you doing out here?

What took you so long?

Can't you see this?

You really just got the candles?

Of course.

Goodness.

Well, I heard

that there's a rumor about you going around.

I went to find out more about it

and played just one game.

People call you a witch.

Don't do that, please!

I just wanted to see what people are talking about these days.

I thought I could figure out a way to help you.

I am lighting up this candle for someone else's earnest wish.

I've lighted 100 candles for the last five years.

Now, I just need to light eight more candles.

I will be sure to light all candles and make the curse go away.

I cannot let anyone else die

because of me.

Please.

Please don't let this candle flame get blown out.

Did you find the Princess?

It's already been six months.

I haven't been able to light a single candle.

I went through so much to get here.

Press down on the wound.

Is what that woman said

really true?

She said that everyone I love

as well as all the people who love me would die.

Is it true?

Is that why

Poong-yeon became like that?

We can change it.

If we dispel the curse, we will be able to go back.

For now, forget yourself as well as your memories.

Be strong and focus on removing the curse.

From this moment,

you will live as Seo-ri not as Yeon-hee.

Also,

you should light all 108 candles here

to dispel the curse put on you.

You can live as Yeon-hee again after that.

-Seo-ri. -Please bring the wish tablet.

I'll light the candle.

What is the matter?

No, it's nothing.

All right.

It has to be an earnest wish.

Only then, I'll be able to light the candle.

All right.

Goodness.

-Gosh. -How brutal.

-My goodness. -Tell all the kids

to never go out late at night.

I'm sure that this is

the Red Robe's doing.

I know.

Judging from how the victim is holding a medicine bottle,

the killer must be someone who was determined to kill him.

I heard the killer hangs dead bodies at obvious spots like that.

-How cruel. -Goodness.

Is he trying to show off or what?

-I must say, he's like pure evil. -It's crazy.

Why are we standing here looking at this gruesome sight?

Let's go. Let's get out of here now.

My goodness.

Sir.

Are you okay?

You lost him again?

Why is it

that you just can't catch that murderous monster?

The entire nation is in a state of mayhem because of that murderer.

I have committed a mortal sin, Your Majesty.

I have committed a mortal sin, Your Majesty!

Be quiet, ministers!

Just shut up!

If you have the energy to talk like that,

KING SEONJO

go and bring the Red Robe to me, immediately!

That murderer is disgracing the capital as well as my nation.

We need to do whatever it takes to catch that monster.

We must catch him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

-Yes, Your Majesty. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Did I upset you?

Not at all, Your Majesty.

Please don't worry.

Poong-yeon.

I did it because I truly care about you.

I completely understand.

Now, tell me everything in detail.

His height seemed to be under 180cm,

and his swordsmanship was very precise.

He's definitely not an average swordsman.

Where did he come from?

I'm sorry I couldn't catch him.

Don't say that.

No one has even seen him properly because he's so swift.

You said that you left him with a stab wound.

I'm certain that you will be able to slit his throat next time.

I'll be sure to catch that murderer

so that you can put your mind at rest.

Thank you.

Poong-yeon.

In this entire capital,

you're the only person I trust.

Be careful not to get hurt.

I shall obey your orders.

Have you heard

anything about your father yet?

No.

I hope you can understand why I want to rebuild Sogyeokseo soon.

I apologize, Your Majesty.

I don't know where my father is but I know that he's still alive.

How could I take my father's position

when he is still alive?

Okay.

I understand.

-Gosh, I'm right. -No, it's a girl.

-Goodness. Can't you tell? -All right. Let's find out, then.

Okay. Let's find out.

-Look. It's a girl. -Gosh. He's just a pretty boy.

-Do you want to bet? -Okay. Come closer and look.

Goodness gracious.

What is going on here?

It's nothing.

Let's go now.

I looked into what you had asked me to find out.

It was neither Lord Hyun-seo Choi nor your sister.

Then did you find anything about that shaman's whereabouts?

I went to the place she lived after being expelled from the palace,

but she wasn't there.

I see. Thank you.

It has already been five years,

but I can't even find any trace.

How about we search the wall where corpses are piled up?

My father and Yeon-hee are not dead.

I'm sorry.

I was just...

It's okay.

I'm sorry I burdened you.

You still

haven't figured out

what causes my illness?

I apologize.

How can you call yourself a doctor?

Find out what causes it as soon as possible.

However,

no one can find out about my condition.

Is that clear?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Pull it out again.

Your Majesty.

Her Highness is here to see you.

I heard that another gruesome dead body was found.

Why do such wicked and sinister things

keep happening in the capital?

Did you come to see me

at this late hour to tell me this?

QUEEN SIM

It looks like

you feel uncomfortable around me.

How could I feel comfortable around you?

You are the highest person in the Palace.

Yes.

As the person in the most respectable position,

I should look after you.

Don't hesitate to let me know if you're ever feeling unwell.

Thank you for the concern,

but please do not think that I'm like the late Crown Prince.

What I mean

is that you don't have to worry

because I am well and healthy.

Your Majesty.

Joseon's future solely depends on you.

If there is any problem with your health,

the state affairs will be affected. How could I not be concerned?

Right.

Please do not worry.

I won't ask you to take care of any governance matters...

in my place.

It is getting late.

You should go back to your room.

I also hope

that what I'm worried about will not happen.

Have a good night.

I heard about the doctors from the royal infirmary

visiting Gangnyeongjeon a few times late at night,

but there wasn't anything notable in their records.

However, I heard that a court maid from the sewing department

sneaks into His Majesty's chamber every morning and takes his bedding.

His bedding?

Yes. I'm afraid to tell you this,

but I heard that his bedding gets stained with blood and pus at times.

Does this mean

that the curse put on the Palace isn't over yet?

Did you look into what I asked you to find out the other day?

I apologize.

I even hired slave hunters to find that shaman,

but I haven't been able to find her whereabouts at all.

Hire as many slave hunters as you need.

You have to find that shaman.

You must.

Yes, Your Highness.

Mother.

This.

Oh, that.

Why do you have this?

That's strange. I thought I lost it.

Thanks anyway.

Mother.

I'm almost there now.

Please wait just a little bit more.

I will take them down

and make them pay

for taking your life.

Everyone you love will die.

Everyone who loves you

will die as well.

Go away.

Go away, monster!

Father.

Now, I just need to light eight more candles.

I will be sure to lift the curse

and protect everyone I love.

I will make sure to find out why I was born

with a terrible curse like this.

SECRET HEALER

There are only 49 days left now.

I should go and see the 100-year-old tree.

I need to bring proof.

I know who that scholar is.

I can help you meet him.

But I have a favor to ask you.

Is there a price I have to pay

to make my wish come true?

What is the reason?

Why are you killing everyone related to that tree?

I haven't been able to light a single candle in six months.

There you are, Princess.

You're the Red Robe, aren't you?

You're under arrest for murder!

I will be sure to remove the curse.

I didn't do it!
