Episode 3

Joon.

What's happened?

It's all my fault.

Mother, go to
Samgae ferry port.

I will follow you.

Joon! Joon!

Who are you?

Let me talk to
the police captain.

Huh?

I have something to tell him.

Let me talk to him.

You bastard!
Who do you think you are!

Get away!

Please let me see him, please!

Please let me see the police
captain, please!

He's not someone you can meet.
Go back now!

- Please let me see...
- Go!

- Excuse me...
- What?

Look.
Don't you remember me?

You put me in jail.

Yes, you got caught
without an identity tag, right?

- That's right.
- What is it?

Let me see
the police captain.

What do you want
to see him for?

I have something to tell him.

Let me talk to him.

Don't try to play any tricks
and just go back.

I want to report
who plotted the conspiracy.

You really know?

I do.

Who is it?

Tell me who it is!

It's Jahun Min,
the Mayor of Seoul.

You fool. Sir Jahun Min

has already been released,
not guilty.

Don't lose your head
and accuse a nobleman,

and go away!

I'm not lying! Believe me.

Do you know Sir Lee Jungchan,

who died in Yongchun?

Aren't the police
looking for his daughter?

I know where she is.

Is that true?

Yes. She is at Jahun Min's house.

If this is a lie,
you will lose your head.

Follow me.

I will bring the Captain.
Wait here.

Yes, sir.

Where is he?

I... I told him to wait here.

Did he say he knows
where Lee Jungchan's daughter is?

Yes. He said she is
at Jahun Min's house.

Find him now!

It's no use lingering any longer.

Let's go.

I know how you feel.

I know how much
you love her.

But that girl has
always lived in a

different world from us.

Can't you see how hard it would be

to change your social position?

You can't do as you wish

because when her nobility has
been restored, she will resent you.

You should never have given
her your heart.

Let's go.

Joon.

No matter what happens,

I will be with you.

Dahee.

Give me some rice and soup, please.

Do you want some rice wine, too?

- No, thanks.
- Okay.

It's getting late. Let's stay here for today

and we'll meet
the magistrate tomorrow.

Yes. We need to clean up.
Let's go see him tomorrow.

Yes.

Here! Here!

Set a table for a big meal.

What about my request?

If you take care of that for me,
I can set two tables for you.

Oh, that!

What request?

Oh, her daughter got married,
but is being mistreated

because she didn't have
a baby boy.

So she wants to know
how to give birth to a boy.

That's simple.

How?

My sperms are infallible.
Send her daughter to me.

You idiot!

Do you have the letter
with you?

Yes, it's here.

If you can get
that letter to him,

the Magistrate of Sanum
will find us a way to live.

He was a good friend
of your father's,

ever since he served at Camp Haemi.

He was a vigorous
and respectable man.

Anyone there?

Yes?

If you're not sleeping,
try some of this. It's sweet.

Thanks.

You seem to have come
from far away.

We're from Yongchun.

Yongchun? Where's that?

In Pyungan Province,
under Weeju.

Weeju?
Wow, what a long way...

You must have had
a hard time.

What's Sanum like?

I've heard there are many people
starving to death,

but you won't go hungry
down here.

But I noticed that
the fields are small

and there doesn't seem to be
any big trades.

Farming isn't the only way
to make a living.

If you come to Sanum with empty hands
and stay for 3 years,

you take out 3 years' food with you.

This place is full of medicinal herbs.
Danggui, which is good for the blood

and Omija, which especially
quenches thirst

are of the best quality, 3 times
more expensive than those from
other regions.

Mt. Jiri stands right in front of us.

Every season, the mountains are
full of precious herbs.

If you aren't lazy,
there's no problem making a living.

And if you work at the
iron mine in Mayoundong,

the pay would be enough
for a family of 2 or 3.

You mean this place
produces iron?

Sure.
In a place called Mayoundong.

Their iron is very famous.

It's a wonderful place
for the humble.

Well now, take a good rest.

- Thank you.
- Not at all.

If she's right,

we haven't wasted
our efforts.

Back in Yongchun, there were always
enemies invading,

making the place
harsh and panic-stricken.

The people here seem to be
good-hearted.

Whether I gather herbs

or work in a mine,

I will support you, Mother.

I will be satisfied if you can

wipe away the dishonor
of being a concubine's son

and live without
anyone's disdain.

We must lay aside

all the grudges and resentments

we've borne for so long.

We must live a good life

thinking of
your father's kindness

in sending us down here.

Yes, Mother.

I will be back.

Be strongly resolved,

and be careful
not to disgrace your father.

Yes.

What did you say?
'The former magistrate'?

What do you mean
'the former magistrate'?

If you're looking for Sangdu Jo,
he was the former magistrate I served.

Then, do you mean he's not here?

Of course.
Why would a retired man

stay in this rural area?

But how do you know him?

I must see him.

I came from Yongchun
to meet him.

Yongchun? Where's that?

Let me see... Yongchun...

You mean the place under Weeju?

That would be 3 thousand...
No, 5 thousand miles from here!

That's such a long way...

I don't know why you're here.
But, unfortunately

if you want to meet him,
you'll have to go to Seoul.

Who is he?

I don't know. Maybe he's the son
of the former magistrate's concubine.

But his family name was Hur,
his name is Hur Joon.

Then how can his father's last name
be Jo?

It's strange. He came here
from thousands of miles away.

Maybe he's a fleeing criminal.

If you're trying to trick me,
I won't let you get away with it.

Why do you think
I'm trying to trick you?

Here. It's the bear's gall
that you asked for.

You expect me to believe that?

This is a badger's gall!
Who are you trying to fool?

You are quick.

A badger's gall
is also good for the health.

Mom, I'm hungry.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Do you think I'd make you go hungry
if I had food? Do you?

Stop crying!

- Let's go.
- Wait...

Buy your kid some porridge.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

But aren't you from Sanum?

I was desperate because it
was a lean year.

So I brought my child
to Sanum

and now I'm being forced
to leave.

But why?

Why do you think?

They're driving out
all vagabonds like us.

The Magistrate of Sanum
is very strict.

Thank you.
Let's go.

Let's go
and get some porridge.

So?
Did you meet the magistrate?

Did something go wrong?

He retired and
went back to Seoul.

What?
Then...

We came all the way here ...

but now...
how could this...

What should we do?

We lost the money
your father gave us to make a living.

And, we're perfect strangers here.

What should we do?

If we can't go back,
we have no choice but to make the best of it.

Even if we live in a hut in the mountains
and live on herbs and trees,

it would still be better
than living as a concubine's son.

The only problem with living here

is not obtaining a means of livelihood,

but getting our personal status
guaranteed.

The officials will surely ask,

but I don't even have
an identity tag...

Your father said to say that we were
migrants headed for the mountains.

I've thought of that. But the
Magistrate of Sanum is so strict

that he's driving out
all the vagabonds.

What?

Now what shall we do...
what shall we do?

Maybe...

Let me see your identity tag.

I'm not an official.
You need not be afraid.

Look.

Joon.

My name is llsuh Koo.

I'm Hur Joon.

I'll speak in a forthright way.

You don't have
an identity tag, do you?

Even if you do,
it must be a tag of the lowly.

Nowadays there are
many people like you

trying to change their lives,
coming here on the pretext
of a bad harvest...

What do you want
from me?

I told you.
You don't need to be afraid.

I'm trying to help you.

I know all
the officials of Sanum.

I serve all of them.

Getting a new identity tag

would not be a problem,
you know?

You're a stranger.

Why are you trying
to do me a favor?

What is an identity tag for?

Isn't it used by noblemen

to exploit humble people
like us?

'Birds of a feather
flock together.'

We should help each other out,
don't you agree?

Bring me some money

so I can serve the officials
and flirt with retired showgirls.

I'm telling you getting a new
identity tag can be easy.

Is that true?

Do you think I'm lying?
Let's just drop it then.

Wait!

Wait a minute.

Mother!
What's the matter?

Mother!
Help! Help!

What is it?

My mother is sick.
Where is the doctor's house?

Oh, does she have
a stomachache?

Don't worry.
Except for people dying of old age,

Dr. Yoo cures everyone that is
sick here in Sanum.

Isn't that right?

- Dr. Yoo?
- His name is Weetae Yoo.

Of course. Dr. Yoo
cures everyone.

Where does he live?

Go down that way
and across the brook.

Follow me.
Carry her on your back.

- Yes.
- Give her a piggyback.

Bring her over here.
Move. Hey! Move.

Move over!

Wait, wait here
for a minute.

Jangswe. Jangswe!

Here you go.

Wh... what's this?

A number plate. You have to wait for your turn.
When that guy

gives you this look,
step forward.

Since I know you, I'll advanced
your turn.

Thank you.

Are you alright?

A lot better.

He really must be a noted doctor

having so many patients.

Is it always this crowded?

That's because he's not home now.

Where did he go
abandoning his patients?

I have no idea.
He is quite cranky.

He goes away
for a couple of months a year.

So you have to be sick
while he's around.

Over there.

That man is the famous Dr. Yoo.

And the man next to him
is his student called Doji.

He is as skillful as
his teacher.

Who are you?

My name is Rockstone Jun,
from Bam Village.

You've got jaundice.
It's a liver disease.

Stick out your tongue.

Brew gentians,
goldthread, gongchung.

And if the liver gets tense,
you must eat something sweet to ease it.

Use licorice
or rice and beef, and dates.

Yes.

Next.

Where...

Use a needle
and acupuncture B60,

and the left S36.

Do it.

Your balls are feeble.

What? B... balls?

Don't you know balls?
Every man carries them around...

But yours are
half the size of others'.

Oh...

Prescribe him Palmihwan.

Next.

Why don't you say anything to me?

All medicines have proven useless.

Go home and make your will.

Next.

Now what did you say?

A corpse came here.

- A corpse?
- What? A corpse?

Who is?
How could you!

I'm good and alive
and you call me a corpse?

Examine my pulse again!

Make me well now!

Here we give medicine
to people who can live.

We don't sell lives.

What? You quack!

Empty vessels make
the greatest sound.

Examine my pulse now!

Don't die while you're outside
and go home and keep to your bed.

You, you bastard!
You're all high and mighty

just because you cured the governor!

Cure me now! You scoundrel!

Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor!

She...

It's nothing.
Take her home.

Nothing? What do you mean?

Can't you see her sweating hard?

Look!

What's your name?

I'm not the patient.
It's my mother.

What's your name?

I'm Hur Joon.

Why do you ask?

Is it something serious?

She just got seasick
and ate some food.

It isn't anything
to worry about.

Just go home and
make her wash her feet with warm water.

She'll feel better.

Did you say seasick?

Did you see us
riding a boat?

We never rode a boat!

He can even smell
the scent of a corpse

from a mourner
who went to a funeral days ago.

Just believe what he says
and go back.

Thank you for your trouble.

No problem.

Oh... and here.

We've come a long way
and this is all that's left.

This is all you've got?

You can't do anything
with this.

Well, alright.
I wasn't doing it for money anyway.

I'll get you
an identity tag tomorrow.

So meet me under the persimmon tree
at 5:00, okay?

Thank you so much.
I'll never forget your kindness.

No problem.
See you tomorrow.

How do you feel?

A lot better.
I think I'm well now.

That Dr. Yoo is really skillful.

I heard he has many skills

that no one can follow.

But what are we going to do

now that the magistrate
has retired?

Don't worry.
I've thought up a way

to get a new identity tag.

How can you get a new identity tag
in an unfamiliar place?

I have my ways.
Don't worry and take care of yourself.

- Thanks for the meal.
- Sure. Come again.

Oh, Ma'am?

Do you by any chance
know someone called llsuh Koo?

Of course I do. Didn't he take
your mother to the doctor yesterday?

What does he do for a living?

He's a hunter, who hunts in Mt. Jiri

and he's well known
as a roughneck around here.

Be careful of him.

I heard he's been
tricking the vagabonds

and taking their money.

What?
Where can I find him?

Well, he might be gambling

in some tavern.

Are you going to
keep on bothering me?

This is a musk deer's penis.
Just give me 20 dollars, huh?

You rat!

You'd bring a radish
and call it a wild ginseng.

If this is a musk deer's penis,

then, this must be a
herb for eternal youth!

The sparrow near a school
sings the primer.

We've been near
Dr. Yoo for almost 3 years.

Don't try to trick us
and piss off!

Shit!

I've lost so much ...
You can at least give away a share.

You dirty rascal!

Here you go.
Go and drink.

Next time I go up the mountains...

I'll get you a real musk deer's penis.
Give it to your wife.

What?

Everyone knows she's ugly as a hag.

You'll have to smell some musk
to sleep with her.

You... you son of a...
You bastard!

Just my luck!
Shit!

What brings you here?

Where's my identity tag?

Th... That is...

My identity tag!

That is...
It didn't work out.

If you want this to be done,

you'll need more money...

Can't you make some more?

Like selling ornaments,
gold rings, you know?

Anything you can sell.

Wh... What are you doing?

Ouch...

Ow!

No one gets away with

offending me

here in Sanum.

S... Spare me!

Rats like you wringing money
out of vagabonds

must die!

Please forgive me.

Spare me!

I've got a wife and children, too.

I'm sorry. Please.

P...p...please, forgive me!

Please spare me!

Give back my money.

Now.

Well, that is...

I don't have it now.

I lost it gambling.

Where are we going?

I've found a place
for us to stay, in the meanwhile.

- Let's go inside
- Yes.

Honey, I'm home.

Honey.

My husband died gambling.

So, if you're a beggar,
go back!

Died!
Why would I be dead?

If you're not,
then I'll kill you myself.

Clean up the back room
and wait on these two.

Are you out of your mind?

We don't even have
enough food for us!

I didn't say we need to feed them.

Since they don't have
anywhere to go,

let's give them shelter.

You know Snake Village?

I was hunting down there,

when I ran into a boar,

and he saved my life.

So this is the least
we can do for him.

He did no good.

He should have just let you die.

He's not a patron, he's an enemy!

Oh, you!

Give it to me.

Here are your blankets.

Thank you.
How can I return the favor?

It's no problem.

Since I've decided to
serve you all my life,

make yourselves at home,
even if it's a shabby place.

Shabby?

To a vagabond,
this place is a palace.

Let me have a word
with you.

Now what are you going to do?

I gave you a place to stay
because I owed you.

But I can't feed you.

Go up Mt. Jiri and dig herbs

or go work at the iron mine
in Mayoundong.

How you make your living
is none of my business.

To whom do I sell
the herbs I dig up?

Dr. Yoo?

He has servants who
dig up herbs there every season.

They don't buy others' herbs.
Why do you ask?

Are you worried about
not being able to sell herbs?

If I'm going to dig up herbs,

I would like to work for Dr. Yoo.

Wh... what?

If it's possible,
I want to learn medicine under him.

He doesn't teach medicine.

But weren't the men
in the infirmary his students?

Students in name only.

People stay there for years
leaving with nothing gained.

From what I heard there were many

who stayed for 10 years,
without learning anything.

10 years?

The ones next to him
holding candles or charts

have been there for 5 to 7 years.

The ones who wash clothes
stained with bloody pus

have been there
for, at least, 3 or 4 years.

Dr. Yoo never asks people
to stay or makes them go.

He's cold-hearted.
If you work for him

digging up herbs, making fires,
helping patients,

you'll feed no more than
your own self.

What about your mother?

Don't waste your time
and give up on that, okay?

Arrange an appointment for me.

What?

I'll do everything else,
so just arrange an appointment.

What?

So?

The guy I asked isn't here now.

But everything is arranged,
so go in.

Thank you.

We'll see about that.

I've advised you
as much as I can.

Don't reproach me afterwards, ok?
Go in.

Alright.

I...

What is it?

I'd like to learn medicine under Dr. Yoo.

Medicine?
What's that?

Why are you here?

Anyone who wants to learn here

has to get
our permission first.

Yeah, of course.

Let me see Dr. Yoo.

Who do you think
you are?

We don't even know
if we can learn from him.

How dare you try
to put yourself forward!

I don't want to fight with you.
Where's Dr. Yoo?

You scoundrel!

Thinking you can take our place!

Piss off!
Piss off, you rat!

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do, you bastard?

- You fool!
- Let go!

Words are no use.
Just beat him up!

Ouch!
You rat!

What are you doing?

Fighting in a hospital?

He suddenly showed up
and committed an outrage.

Didn't I cure
the patient you brought?

You pay me back in this way?

My name is Hur Joon.

I came here to learn
medicine from you.

Shut up!

This is no place for
a fire-eater like you.

Get away!

I behaved imprudently.

I've come through
the good offices of llsuh Koo.

Please forgive me
and accept me.

Ilsuh Koo?

I let him in at llsuh Koo's request,

but I didn't know he was a roughneck.

We don't need you.
Go back.

I will do anything.

Anything you ask.
Please accept me.

You seem to know
the vital spots of the body well.

There once was a gangster
called Jang You in China.

He had so many fights
he was an expert in knowing vital spots.

Later he used that skill
to become a great doctor.

If I don't make him a doctor,

he will use his talent
to kill people.

Come and learn.

But if this happens
one more time,

I won't forgive you then.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Mother.

I found a way
to make a living.

What? How?

I've decided to go under Dr. Yoo
and learn medicine.

Did he accept you?

Yes. He accepted me
as his student.

Good, good.
