SECRET HEALER

EPISODE 14

Can you use your magic

to win people's hearts?

Are you sure

the grief and despair that I feel is not my fault?

If I unleash the full power of my hatred against them,

will it free me from the pain in my heart?

My lord.

Do you want me to bring Yeon-hee back to you?

If you kill her evil and cursed soul,

she will return to her kind old self.

Don't try to fool me.

If you cannot believe me,

I'll make you believe.

Is there anyone out there?

How long will it take?

I used one of the deadliest curses of black magic.

If she fails to dispel the curse,

the Queen Dowager won't be able to make it through tomorrow night.

However,

it's the Princess that bothers me.

The Queen Dowager is still her mother, even if she didn't raise her.

I'm sure the Princess won't be at ease if she finds out about the curse.

The Princess earned an extraordinary power when she was cursed.

Will the Princess try to harm me?

Is there anyone you trust who will protect you?

If Officer Poong-yeon Choi was still on your side,

you wouldn't have had to worry.

Don't ever mention his name

in front of me again.

My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.

This is black magic.

"This is black magic."

This is a curse that will harm the Queen Dowager.

"This is a curse that will harm the Queen Dowager."

If it is black magic,

there must be a cursed amulet

hidden somewhere.

"If it is black magic,

there must be a cursed amulet hidden somewhere."

You must find the cursed amulet formed by hatred...

We must find the cursed amulet formed by hatred and destroy it.

If you fail to find the cursed amulet and lift the curse...

"If you fail to find the cursed amulet and lift the curse..."

If so, the Queen Dowager won't make it through tomorrow night.

"If so, the Queen Dowager won't make it through tomorrow night."

Hong-joo did this.

If we find the amulet and destroy it, will the Queen Dowager be all right?

The cursed amulet must be hidden somewhere within the Palace.

"The cursed amulet must be hidden somewhere within the Palace."

You must find that amulet.

"You must find that amulet."

Yes, my lord.

Are you okay?

Yes, Your Highness.

Please don't worry about me.

You did a good job.

If I have to, I'll search the whole Palace with Master Yo-gwang

and find that cursed amulet. So don't worry.

Yeon-hee.

We have only 20 days left until the North Star disappears.

You'll lose your strength with time.

Is what the Book of Curses saying true?

Am I dying?

Please don't tell this to Jun.

Not to Poong-yeon, either.

That's not what's important now.

There aren't many candles left to light.

I won't die.

Yeon-hee.

"Before the North Star fades away,

all the candles must be lit in order to lift the curse."

Are you all right?

I must have been stressed

because the Queen Dowager is in danger.

Yes.

Stop worrying about her and go back to sleep.

I'll stay here until you fall asleep.

Your Majesty!

As soon as I heard about the dismissal of Officer Poong-yeon Choi.

I was so concerned about you that I came to you right away.

From now on, I'll protect you, Your Majesty.

Can you protect me at the cost of your own life?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'll do everything that I can.

I was told that I may be in danger.

You need to be beside me at all times and protect me from danger.

Pardon me?

Yes...

I'll make sure no harm comes your way, Your Majesty!

With my distinguished skill in martial arts,

I'll protect you from anyone who tries to harm you.

I'll get rid of them!

That's all.

You are dismissed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your mercy is endless, Your Majesty.

You must have had a hard day at work.

I could have jeopardized my life.

What do you mean by that?

His Majesty told me that he may be in danger

because someone wants to kill him.

His Majesty asked me to protect him.

So how did you respond to that?

I said I would protect him even before His Majesty asked me to.

I was just about to run away after that,

but he suddenly changed his mind and dismissed me.

Did you decline His Majesty's orders?

No, I didn't decline it.

He... I mean, His Majesty said it wasn't necessary.

You idiot!

You stupid idiot!

How could you be so stupid?

-Why are you hitting me? -Calling you stupid isn't enough!

You should have told His Majesty

that you would sacrifice your life to protect him.

That could have been your chance to get close to His Majesty.

Are you out of your mind?

What if I get killed protecting His Majesty?

No, even worse than death,

what if I lose an arm and become disabled? Then what?

You should have done it even if it meant risking your life!

Haven't you heard?

His Majesty's temper is so strange that he does not let people by his side.

If you had become his right-hand man,

it would have been a great honor for our family.

You are so frustrating.

If another opportunity comes your way, you must grab it.

You must show His Majesty that you would do anything

to protect him even if it puts your life at risk.

-Do you understand? -Yes, I do.

I should just get stabbed while protecting His Majesty.

Please stay close to His Majesty.

You'll realize what you'll need to get rid of.

Is everything all right with His Majesty?

He is in danger.

Now that you've left him, there is no one protecting him.

I am telling you that you need to see

what's threatening His Majesty with your own eyes.

Believe only what you can see.

You'll come to believe me.

Princess.

Are you on your way to see the Queen Dowager?

You must be very worried.

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

I'm worried that nasty rumors about you might spread

because bad things began happening as soon as you came into the Palace.

Please don't be misled by the sly words of Hong-joo.

You are the father of this nation.

How anxious would your people feel when they realize their leader is lost?

It just occurred to me,

you take after your mother.

Are you also interested in the throne?

If you are a princess,

behave like one.

Dress up like a princess

and look after the flowers and trees in the royal garden.

Don't be so impudent.

What's this?

It is a tracking amulet.

TRACKING AMULET - THE AMULET THAT FINDS TRACES OF ENCHANTED OBJECTS

I didn't know that kind of amulet existed.

Since this is my first time doing it,

I'm not sure if it will work.

Let's go outside.

This is all your doing, isn't it?

Don't be a coward.

If you want to kill me, just kill me.

I would like to,

but the Queen Dowager is in my way.

You must have cursed her with your hatred towards her.

Where is it?

Where is the cursed amulet?

You seem very anxious because there is not much time left.

You are asking me something that I cannot give a straight answer to.

What you want is not the life of the Queen Dowager.

I'll tell you since you came all this way to save your mother's life.

My hatred for her is not enough for this curse.

There is someone who hates her more than I do.

Are you insinuating that...

Gangnyeongjeon...

His Majesty has cursed the Queen?

He hates her so much that he wants to kill her.

It was formed with His Majesty's hatred,

and he is the one who holds the cursed amulet.

If you wish to save the Queen Dowager,

you need to harm the King.

But if you do harm the King, you'll be executed.

If you don't do anything about it, the Queen Dowager will die.

This is a real dilemma.

This a trap to catch me.

What's more important than one's own life?

So just stay away.

Could it be true that Hong-joo

left the cursed amulet with His Majesty?

The tracking amulet led us here,

so let's look for it.

Okay.

Please don't be misled by the sly words of Hong-joo.

You are the father of this nation.

How anxious would your people feel when they realize their leader is lost?

Is everything all right, Your Majesty?

Yes.

Let's head back.

Where on earth did she hide it?

Could it be that it's not here? We've looked everywhere.

According to the tracking amulet...

What brings you here?

I came to discuss some things with you as your friend.

Did you really consider me

as your friend?

Your Majesty and I are good friends

that understand each other, aren't we?

You're right.

You used to be the friend

who knew me well.

Who are you?

Master, what are you doing here?

Do you know them?

How dare you sneak into my chambers?

Did you come here to kill me?

We apologize if we scared you. That was not our intention.

We were only trying to save the Queen Dowager's life.

Did...

Did the Queen Dowager order you

to kill me?

No, Your Majesty. That's not true.

Tell me the truth.

Why did you break in here?

Please calm down, Your Majesty. I can explain...

I don't want to hear it!

What's the reason you are here?

Kill them at once!

Do it!

Stop it.

Yeon-hee.

Finally, the mastermind has arrived.

You are the one who wants me dead.

Reveal your true colors!

You wicked thing!

Do you think you'll be okay even after what you've done?

Poong-yeon.

Look!

The Princess is trying to kill me.

Go and kill her now.

Do it.

Do it!

That evil witch is trying to kill me.

If you kill her evil and cursed soul,

she will come back to her kind old self.

I told you that the Princess must die for me to live.

Kill her.

Kill her now.

My lord.

Didn't you come here to protect my life?

Take a look!

Your sister whom you protected

is trying to kill me.

Kill her.

If you can't,

I'll kill her.

Your Highness.

How...

How...

How dare you?

Is anyone out there?

Is there anyone outside?

The Princess tried to murder me.

Arrest her immediately.

Arrest her!

-Tie her up! -Yes, sir!

Get them!

Arrest all of them immediately!

You witch.

You saw everything with your eyes.

Would Yeon-hee try to harm others?

That's not Yeon-hee.

She is nothing but a cursed witch.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee!

Yeon-hee!

Yeon-hee!

Yeon-hee!

-Let go of me! -Jun!

Let's go.

Hurry.

Jun!

What are you doing?

What do you think you can do for her?

-There is nothing you can do. -My lord.

-My lord. -You need to leave now.

Thank you. Let's get going.

We need to go.

Oh, gosh.

It was all Hong-joo's plan.

What should we do now?

We must save Yeon-hee.

If you act recklessly, Yeon-hee will be charged with treason

and expelled from the Palace.

Why?

Why does His Majesty desperately want to kill Yeon-hee?

His Majesty believes his illness is because of the Princess.

Is that why...

he has such wounds?

-That's right. -That's nonsense.

What does his illness have to do with Yeon-hee?

I think Hong-joo is responsible for that as well.

Can she make people fall sick with her black magic?

That's possible.

Black magic is designed to make people both physically and mentally ill

by attacking their weaknesses and wickedness.

So that's possible.

-Where are you going? -I'm going to save Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee can live if I persuade His Majesty.

His Majesty is on Hong-joo's side now.

He is blinded by her.

He won't listen to what you say.

If he doesn't listen to me,

I'll have to show him.

I'll show him who Hong-joo really is.

Jun.

Your Majesty!

How could such a disaster take place?

I am at fault for all of this.

If I was by your side,

I would have protected you with every fiber of my body.

I would have protected you from the swords of heinous people.

Even if you don't allow me to be at your service,

I'll never, ever...

leave your side again, Your Majesty.

I dedicate my life to you.

Your Majesty!

My lord,

it is finally time for you to help me.

Father!

My lord,

light up the True Samadhi Fire here.

Father.

My lord.

What are you doing?

Light up the fire.

My lord, what's wrong?

Don't hesitate and light the fire.

We are almost there.

He has lost the True Samadhi Fire.

The True Samadhi Fire

is the power that is passed down to the heads of Sogyeokseo.

He must still possess that power.

It can't be.

I told them not to let anyone in.

Why don't they obey my orders?

Your Majesty,

I am solely to blame for it.

It wasn't an act of treason.

She was only trying to save me.

She probably did it to lift the curse Hong-joo laid on me.

The Princess is not at fault.

What do you mean?

She tried to kill me.

She plunged a sword into me.

She deserves to be beheaded

for what she has done.

I'll no longer take care of any governance matters.

I'll no longer engage in the affairs of the state.

What's the use of that if I die?

You can have the royal throne.

You incited the Princess to murder me because of that, didn't you?

-Your Majesty... -I have

heard enough.

Your Highness, I am glad to see you well again.

Why didn't you just kill me?

Because that's not what I want.

Do you think I'll give you the Princess?

Since my life was spared,

I am going to watch you pay for your sins.

You...

You have ruined everything.

Didn't you tell me that you would kill the Queen Dowager?

Don't you think it's more important

to kill the Princess in order to cure your illness?

Does that mean

that you used me as bait?

It was only a plan to restore your health.

How dare you?

You put my life in danger.

How will I trust you now?

How?

You...

You came here to cure my illness.

But it's only getting worse.

Can you

really

cure

my illness?

Your Majesty,

if you want to live,

do as I say.

Don't think...

and don't doubt.

Do you understand?

How dare you...

lay your hands on me,

the King?

I'm the one who put you where you are.

Do you know why?

Because you are feeble, narrow-minded, and cowardly.

You have no qualities of a king.

So if you want to protect your throne,

do as I say.

I'll kill the Princess myself

and cure Your Majesty's illness.

So please don't worry.

I caught the real Red Robe,

so come to the West Forest tomorrow.

If you don't come,

I'll reveal the Red Robe's identity to the public tomorrow.

I am going to take you before the King tomorrow.

I'll show you what the truth is

so that you can see for yourself.

It has been taken care of.

Ma'am.

Good work.

She was a clever child.

What a shame.

Are you all right?

Right.

I almost died.

Hong-joo has been tracking me.

I've already sent a letter to His Majesty

and we are going to draw her out.

What do you think they will do to you

if I bring you there?

This is what you get for your loyalty and obedience,

and for shedding all that blood.

Don't do evil anymore, and be at peace.

Haven't you had enough?

Think of it as an evil spirit.

When a person is possessed by an evil spirit, we get rid of it.

Once we break the Princess' curse,

she will return to being the Yeon-hee that you know.

You can have her then.

Will Yeon-hee truly return?

If you trust and help me,

she will return.

Poong-yeon.

No!

Get away!

Get away!

Get away from me!

What did you just say?

The source of your illness

is not the Princess.

It's not?

It is Hong-joo's black magic.

What?

I showed you that Hong-joo is the true murderer

who used the Red Robe to cause panic among the people.

This time, I'll prove that she used black magic

to cause your illness.

What is it...

that you want?

Please spare the Princess' life.

Do you want me to trust you

and hand over the Princess?

I'll...

cure you of your illness.

SECRET HEALER

Can you use your magic...

To win people's hearts?

If you need magic to win it over, then it wouldn't be genuine.

From now on, you'll be with me until death.

Don't lay a hand on my children ever again.

If you want to kill me, stab me with a dagger.

Do you think I won't be able to kill you without the Crown Prince?

Help me live as a human being.

If you want to live, do as I say.

It was all Hong-joo's plan.

-From now on, -Get away!

my will is the divine will.
