SECRET HEALER

SECRET HEALER

It is you, isn't it?

Persimmon Girl.

Please let go.

-Yeon-hee. -I am not.

I came to see if you had completed the book,

but you must have gotten the wrong idea.

You must have mistaken me for someone else.

Please let go.

Why are you doing this?

What happened?

If I can help...

Look out for yourself.

You don't seem to be in any position to help others.

I'm sorry.

I mistook you

for someone else.

I would like you to complete the Book of Curses

as soon as possible and leave.

I came to tell you that.

EPISODE 8

Everyone you love will die.

Everyone who loves you

will also die.

Seo-ri.

I think he has completed the Book of Curses.

I will send him away at the break of dawn.

Give me the amnesia potion.

Why are you hesitating?

You know how important this is.

Do not ruin things with personal issues. Do you understand?

Amnesia potion

I'm so tired.

Let's take a short break.

Why don't you sit for a while?

Gosh.

Gosh.

Are you not tired?

I am fine.

The way down is rough.

You must be careful.

Amnesia potion

I've been walking up and down this path for 30 years but it still feels far.

The view is incredible, though.

You must be thirsty.

Have some cold water.

Thank you.

Why don't you drink first?

No, it's okay. You drink first.

-You drink first. -No, you drink first.

Please.

Drink first. Drink.

I'm fine.

Is this what Lady Seo-ri wishes?

Do you know...

what that is?

The recipe came from my brain. Of course I do.

Please tell her...

that I am very thankful.

Goodbye.

That scholar left.

What is it?

Do you regret it?

It's for the best.

We'll finally have peace here.

He drank the amnesia potion, too.

Are you all right?

He was just

someone passing through our lives, that is all.

We weren't meant to meet again.

If you would trust me,

I will get rid of all the thorns

that are tormenting you.

What is it...

that you want?

Call me into the Palace.

That is all I wish for.

The maid we sent with the King disappeared?

Yes, Your Highness.

They say she left in the middle of the night,

and did not return.

Do you think the King figured it out?

I don't think His Majesty did.

Then who?

Why?

Your Highness.

What is it?

What?

I have an announcement to make.

I plan

to rebuild the Hall of Stars which was torn down.

Your Majesty,

the Queen Dowager tore down the Hall of Stars.

So why...

I wish to do it to bring myself peace.

What is the problem?

Horrible events...

such as gangs of bandits stealing

and murdering keep occurring throughout the nation.

The nation is filled with a spirit of unrest.

I want to do all I can

to protect the nation.

Who would dare stop me?

But

if the Queen Dowager finds out...

Look.

I am the king of this land,

not the Queen Dowager.

Bring her in.

Furthermore,

the head shaman of the Hall of Stars

will be Hong-joo.

She is in charge of everything related to the Hall of Stars.

I hope you will follow my wishes.

Your Majesty,

please withdraw your orders!

-Please withdraw your orders. -Please withdraw your orders.

-Please withdraw your orders. -Please withdraw your orders.

-Please withdraw your orders. -Please withdraw your orders.

I love the welcome very much, Your Majesty.

We meet again.

What have you done to His Majesty?

What exactly did you do,

that His Majesty suddenly called you into the Palace?

I simply reopened the Hall of Stars in order to heal His Majesty.

Do you want to know how I knew of His Majesty's illness?

That is what I do.

I'm warning you.

If you ever hurt the King in any way,

I will kill you myself.

Do you understand?

Please do so.

How much is that?

-It's five. Five. -How much is this?

-That isn't right. -It's five.

Come on. Three...

Three for this?

Keep it down.

-What is that? -Oh man.

-Let's go see. -Hurry.

Murderer Jun Heo

Dead

The grave of the mother of the murderer

Okay, now. This is the last time. The last time.

-Just once. Just once. -Let's see.

Come now. No regrets. You shouldn't have any regrets.

Place your bets.

Let's do this.

Let's see.

Let's see.

Where should I look?

Oh, my gosh.

This is...

My gosh.

My cards aren't good at all. I fold.

-I fold. -I fold.

Look here.

I have eight!

I will take this!

I have nine.

What? Nine?

How...

-Wait a second. Wait. -What?

What is he doing?

Hey. You.

No. Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Are you deaf?

Look, because of you, I...

You...

You...

You murderer.

Hey, why did you kill Man-wol?

I have a favor to ask.

How are you alive?

Are you a ghost?

Who was that hanging in front of the Palace gate?

Did you check to see if it was me hanging there?

Why would I kill Man-wol?

She was my only friend whom I could talk to.

Are you saying you have been framed?

That's why

I need you to do something for me.

No. I won't do it. Whatever it is, I won't do it.

They thought I was working with the Red Robe because of you.

Do you know how gross that feels?

The money I just gave you is a down payment.

I'll give you double if you succeed.

No. I don't want to do anything with you.

The pay is good. Plus, you don't have to do it yourself.

You just need to get me a few people.

You won't have to get involved any more.

Please.

I'm not drunk.

Hey.

Oh, my.

-Are you all right? -Are you okay?

Let's have another drink. Please?

-Ok. -You are drunk.

-Hey. -Ok.

I'm in a good mood.

I'm glad you are.

Can you get home like this?

Hey.

Don't worry about me.

You know who I am.

-Why did it get so cold? -It's cold.

-I'm cold. -Get over here.

-No, I'm not cold. -Let's go.

-Mi-hyang, where are you? -No.

-Let's go. -It's so cold.

What is this?

That looks warm.

Mi-hyang, I want to ride this.

Hey. Ok. That's...

My lord, I'm sorry.

But this is for our girls.

Who am I?

Pardon?

Who am I?

Who am I?

What is this?

I'm the senior officer of the Royal Guard!

If I want to get in a carriage, I will get in a carriage!

Open the door!

-Open it. Now. -You. Over here.

Open the door, okay?

Gosh.

Darn it.

-This looks nice. -My lord.

Let's go!

Get home safely!

Hey. Right side.

Balance this thing.

I'll lock you up in jail.

Hey...

Here comes the senior officer of the Royal Guard.

I'm not just any officer. Wait, I am an officer of the Royal Guard.

The Palace. Have you ever been in the Palace?

Darn.

Okay, here.

-Go have a warm bowl of soup. -Let's go.

This is a secret.

-Let's go. -Go.

What? What's going on?

Hey! Where are we?

Why am I here?

Help!

Help! Mother!

Oh, gosh.

Help!

Help me. Help...

Help me. Help.

Help me.

I almost died.

I don't know who you are, but thank you so much.

Do you know where those rats are?

I'm going to...

How dare they do this? Do they know who I am?

You're so right.

Who dared mess with

the senior officer

of the Royal Guard?

Ghost...

Ghost...

Did you see a ghost?

You're right.

I'm the Red Robe

that you killed.

What?

How are you here?

I came to get you even after becoming a ghost.

The rules of noblemen are strict, after all.

Hence,

I plan to check every so often to make sure you are safe

since no one knows what may befall you.

Like a ghost.

No need to be so frightened.

I will catch the real Red Robe with my own hands

and clear my name, and dwell among the living.

Until then,

please take care of yourself.

Hey! You jerk!

You! Do you know who I am?

I'm the senior officer of the Royal Guard, you jerk!

Do you think I can't catch a little rat like you?

Get back here!

Get back here, you jerk!

That son of a bitch.

Your Majesty.

Please cancel the reopening of the Hall of Stars.

If you bring Hong-joo into the Palace,

you must handle the calamity that will befall the royal family.

Your Majesty,

please withdraw your order.

Your Highness, it is cold.

Please protect your body.

I will not take a step

until His Majesty withdraws his order.

So, everyone, please leave.

Now!

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

Now!

Your Majesty.

Please withdraw the order!

Your Majesty!

Please withdraw the order!

Dear brother.

Your Majesty.

Not Hong-joo.

Hong-joo...

Not Hong-joo.

No more.

No more...

My Queen.

No, you are now the Queen Dowager.

How have you been?

You witch.

How dare you?

I am thrilled to see you again,

but you must not be pleased to see me.

You witch.

How dare you step foot in the Palace?

I did not forget what you did.

Because of you,

the Crown Prince...

The Crown Prince...

Things went wrong back then.

I have returned to set things right.

Your Majesty, you must not let Hong-joo in the Hall of Stars.

Your Majesty.

Mother.

Your Majesty.

Mother.

It is me, your son.

I am your son, Soon-hoe.

Please stop.

Mother.

Why are you doing this?

Just why

do you despise me?

Just why...

Mother.

It is me, your son.

Prince Soon-hoe.

Mother!

It is me, Soon-hoe, Mother.

Crown Prince?

Are you

really my son?

Yes.

Yes, Mother.

Mother.

I am

hungry.

My son.

Are you truly my son?

Mother.

My son.

What is going on?

My son.

-Are you really my Soon-hoe? -Mother.

Are you really Soon-hoe?

Soon-hoe.

Queen Dowager.

Queen Dowager.

Are you all right?

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!

-Take him in. -Your Majesty!

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry. Please.

I will return the Crown Prince to you.

What did you just say?

Please rebuild

the Hall of Stars.

Why did you suddenly have a change of heart?

Your will is my will, is it not?

I had no idea

that you would follow my will

so earnestly.

Think as you wish.

Hong-joo.

Do you know that shaman?

I do not.

True,

you despise the Hall of Stars so much.

You wouldn't have gotten close to a shaman.

Is that not right?

Please be careful, Your Majesty.

If you are blinded by desperation,

you will lose a lot.

You promised.

You'll let me see the Crown Prince again

once you return to the Hall of Stars.

I always keep my word.

Can you

truly let me see

the Crown Prince again?

Your Highness.

The Crown Prince

has a spirit but no body.

Therefore, finding him a body is the priority, is it not?

What do you mean?

Do you mean the King's body?

That is the only way you can see the Crown Prince again.

That will be the King,

not the Crown Prince.

How did you feel just now when you saw His Majesty?

Whose throne was it suppose to be?

It was my son's throne.

That is correct.

If he had not passed away back then,

he would be sitting on that throne.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

-Please select your successor. -Please select your successor.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

-Please select your successor. -Please select your successor.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

-Please select your successor. -Please select your successor.

PRINCE HASEONG, LATER KING SEONJO

Your Highness,

I have found a body that is perfect for the Crown Prince,

so please trust me.

-Did you put it away? -Yes, my lady.

We never know when he will be back,

so take good care of it.

My lord.

I am starting over.

Man-wol.

Red Robe.

Who are you?

Is that it?

Yes.

But...

why do you wish to reinvestigate the Red Robe?

Unless we catch the real Red Robe,

the people are still in danger.

Furthermore,

this is the only thing I can do

for His Majesty right now.

Will you

really be okay?

How is your skin so smooth?

Let's check to see if you really are a man.

Hey!

Why you...

My lord.

Where are you from that you are so pretty?

What are you doing?

How could a woman

flirt so openly with a man? It is improper.

Just answer my question.

I told you already.

We cannot answer your question

until you empty this cup.

I already told you,

I do not drink.

Do you expect us to believe that a man

does not drink?

Try a sip.

-Here. -That's it.

-Drink. -That's it.

That's enough.

Stop it already.

Anyway...

Well, that girl Man-wol

was so ugly

that hardly anyone called for her.

She played the zither well, which is why she was allowed to stay.

Wait.

There was a scholar who used to ask for her.

He was the only one.

What scholar?

That scholar by the name of Jun Heo.

But I still don't understand.

How could that distinguished scholar

have been the Red Robe?

Was there anything strange before Man-wol died?

Anything strange before she died?

Yes!

There was something.

That ugly girl

went to the 100-year-old tree the night before,

and showed up here looking really pretty overnight.

It was like magic.

But the very next day, that horrible thing happened.

How scary.

There must be a clue somewhere.

The 100-year-old tree Man-wol went to before she died.

Do you know anything about it?

The 100-year-old tree is famous for supposedly granting wishes.

It grants wishes?

Yes.

What is it?

There were other victims before her

who had gone to the 100-year-old tree.

There is something there.

This is it.

My apologies.

I didn't know someone was in here.

It's all right.

-How pretty. -I got it at the market yesterday.

Who is that?

Hey!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Why aren't you greeting me?

What a rude newcomer.

Do you think being young and pretty is everything?

Kids these days are so rude.

I'm sorry. I'm terribly busy.

Wait!

Please, let's talk.

Please show me your face.

You...

-Sol-gae, go that way. -Yes, Master.

What were you doing there?

What's it to you? Let go!

What are you doing?

Who are you?

What is your relationship with the Red Robe?

Me?

I'm the man who wants to capture the Red Robe like crazy.

Then what is this outfit?

Your uniform?

I'm not the Red Robe.

I know you aren't.

Then let go.

Once you're cleared of all suspicion.

You may be working with the Red Robe, after all.

Okay.

I am...

Move aside!

Hey, what are you doing?

My golden bell that you took.

Where is it?

Golden bell?

What's that?

You don't know?

You must be mistaken.

I don't know anything about it.

-What are you doing? -I told you I'm investigating.

Drag him away.

Why are you doing this to me?

I'll interrogate you at dawn, so stay quiet.

I told you I don't know. It wasn't me!

We will find out tomorrow

whether you're telling the truth or not.

The ritual boundary.

Why is it starting to fail again?

Master.

Master.

Master.

Yes, Seo-ri.

What were you doing?

Nothing.

Did you bring it?

What?

Yes, I'm on my way to get the wish tablet.

Are you going to make the potions again?

-Yes. -Good thinking.

Go down and get ready. I'll bring it right down.

Take your time.

Okay. Get ready.

I must find it.

There must be a way. There must.

There must be a way. You fool. You stupid fool.

The book of Taoism.

The book of Taoism.

The book of Taoism.

The book of Taoism.

The book of Taoism

The ritual boundary.

The ritual boundary.

Is he...

a human ritual boundary?

You stupid fool.

Why did you make him drink the amnesia potion?

The amnesia potion!

Do I have to perform a ritual or something?

Why is nothing going my way?

I'll explain quickly, so listen carefully.

You may not know me, but I know you.

I am Yo-gwang.

You may not remember,

because you drank the amnesia potion.

Why did I make you drink that?

Anyway, you resided briefly at Chungbing Temple.

You met a lady named Seo-ri there.

Seo-ri?

Amnesia Potion

I can feel the Princess's energy.

Master!

Seo-ri.

Seo-ri!

Seo-ri!

We meet again.

SECRET HEALER

Since I drank the Clairvoyance Potion, let's go see dead people.

Where is Jun Heo?

Please stay by Seo-ri's side.

Leave, and you'll know whether or not I'm your ritual boundary.

Do you think Jun Heo will come?

Why don't lowly people ever know their places?

No matter how hard I try,

will I never be free from the curse?

They say it is wrong for me to live,

so I will fight to the death to live.

She is after me,

so I will go.
