Episode 50

I need to hand out water.
Please hold this for a moment.

When did you arrive?

We've just arrived.

Sorry we came so late.

Don't say that.

I feel so relieved to see
your good face.

- Hey, Myungheon.
- Hakdo!

Welcome.

Doctor Hur!

Thank you.

Say your greetings. It's
General Manager from Seoul.

Thank you for your work.

What's going on?

I have something to tell you.

Please leave us.

Yes, sir.

What is it that
you want to tell me?

I'm the Hur Joon, of Yongchun,
that you talked about.

I was about to confess
everything to you, but

I was suddenly dispatched here.

If you're here to arrest me ...

It is right that I arrest you
and exact punishment.

Although, I'm here to accompany
the General Manager and

Manager public security, but

I still can't overlook a criminal
being in charge here.

Illegal trading is a serious crime,
as well as escaping from custody.

Also, your crime of marrying
a daughter of a noble family.

Your wife is a daughter of
Sir Lee Jungchan, isn't she?

How can a socially low status man,
like you, break the social status rule?

Sir, I'm prepared to pay
for my wrongdoings.

But I have a request of you.

Please allow me to fulfill
my duty as a doctor ...

Until I find a cure for the murrain.

Many people are dying
each day.

Yet, we haven't found the cause
or the medicine to cure it.

My skills are poor, but please
let me help to stop the plague.

After that,
I will take my punishment.

How can I trust you?

You ran off before you were
sent to Kamyoung, Pyungyang.

Thanks to you,
I was in trouble for awhile.

How can I trust such a person
to keep his promise?

Please trust me.

I've seen the towns hit by the virus
and I know the situation is dire.

Every single doctor is needed
here.

And I don't intend to seize you
when you're leading other doctors.

Sir.

But it's only for awhile.

As soon as the situation improves,
I will start an investigation.

I will be watching you all the time,
so don't try to fool me.

In case of Eunyool, the level
of disease is not severe.

So it was controlled with
Tak Li So Dok San.

Tak Lee So Dok San/ Prescription
for various tumor

But, in Ongjin and other towns,
the level was severe.

So the same medicine
didn't work.

This is presumed from the fact
that the patients in Eunyool

died after 10 days from the
onset of being sick.

But patients in other towns
died within 3 days.

Then the sickness is getting
more severe each day?

Yes, sir.

Is there any other solution?

I'm planning to use Bang Poong
Tong Sung San and Jang Dal Hwan.

Bang Poong Tong Sung San/ Herb
used for heat concentrated area

5 years ago, murrain causing
similar symptoms hit

villages near Sanum,
Kyungsang province.

At that time, people used
the herbs to stop the progress.

Is that for certain?

The condition of patients in
Hwanghae are similar to that.

I think this would be
the most effective way for now.

We will start with the towns having
the fastest spread of the disease.

Doctor Jung will be in charge of
Hwangjoo, Doctor Lee of Haejoo,

and Doctor Jang
in charge of Ongjin.

I'm the Governor of Bongsan.
Who will be in charge of my town?

I will.

Murrain is dangerously
infectious.

Doctors can't avoid that.
Don't hesitate, Just go back!

I can't.

I can't leave my master
and the patients behind.

Even if I would die here,
I can't go.

Taking the risk of facing
death is not all you can do.

There are a lot of other patients
waiting for you out there.

Samjuk and I can handle
these patients. Go back.

Master!

I said go back!

I can't go!

How dare you!

You have much more work to do.
You have to live.

It's late.

You should go in and get
some sleep.

I was thinking about my master.

When I followed the master
to the town hit by plague,

he rejected me, by saying

that I had to live because I
have much more work to do.

At that time, I didn't
understand him.

But, now, I think I know
what he meant.

Although, I'm still not confident
how to handle this disaster.

As the person in charge of
fighting this plague.

Please don't lose courage.

I'm sure the teacher trusted
you to do well.

Tell people to throw away
all the things used by the patients.

And not to drink the
water from the well or creek.

Yes, sir.

- Yejin, you follow him.
- Yes, ma'am.

Move the serious patients to the
government office for treatment.

Commanders,
help move them.

Understood, Sir!

Doctor, doctor!
Please help me.

Can't you see people waiting
their turn?

Please step back in line!

He is one of the doctors who
is treating the patients.

Has the disease reach
even the doctors?!

Yes.

Where are you going?

I need to take some rest.

- Lay the patient here.
- Yes.

What are you doing?

He grabbed my hand...!

Be quiet! What an awful thing
to do in front of the patient?

I ... I can't do this job.

Stop yourself!

Virus attack people
who are scared of it.

If you're not afraid,
it will skip over you.

If your determination is weak,
your body will become weak, too.

I'm sorry.

Take some rest and calm down.

Be quiet!
Stop making trouble.

If you leave us like this,
everyone will die.

I said to be quiet.

Please.
Please open the door.

- If you leave us like this, everyone...
- I said, be quiet!

What's going on?

It's nothing, Doctor.

Sir, help us. There is a patient
over here, too.

If you leave us like this, we will
all die. Everyone is sick here.

Open the door.

- Doctor.
- I said open it!

What the hell are you doing?

How can you leave people
until they become like this?

What's going on?

That doctor is...

What are you doing?

Release them from the prison.

They need to be isolated
and treated.

Even the healthy people
might die

if they're left here.

They can't be released.

Sir.

They're all criminals.

Even the good people are dying
because there is no medicine.

I can't release these law-breaking
people from the prison.

Thereby, saving the life of the
criminals.

Criminals are also people.

They have lost strength. So they
won't have energy to run away.

Please let them be treated.

This is beyond your
jurisdiction. Go.

Sir.

I said you should go.

I think we should do as
the doctor says.

I think it would be better to
listen to the doctor.

He said the criminals
are human, too.

We can't let them die like this.

Release the criminals.

But I can't let this person go.

The virus of plague should have
already spread in the prison.

Anyone left inside will probably
die.

That man is a seriously
brutal criminal.

Policemen will be watching
him. So I ask you to release him.

Since they will be guarded very
closely, he won't be able to escape.

There are not enough hands.

So we need him to help
with the work.

If anything happens...

I will take care of it.

Release him.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Doctor, thank you.

I need to tend to the patients
in the jail, so help me.

Yes, Doctor.

A message from Dr Hur, who was
dispatched to Hwanghae, has arrived.

Has he found a way to
stop the plague?

After examining Eunyool & Ongjin,
they started treatment with

Bang Poong Tong Sung San
and Jang Dal Hwan.

What's
Bang Poong Tong Sung San?

It's brewed medicine with ginger
and over 10 herbs, such as

licorice root, Cnidium officinale,
Angelicae Gigantis Radix and mint.

Then, can that medicine stop
the plague?

I think we will have wait and
see a bit longer.

It's good that we, at least,
found a medicine.

At a time, when it seem like we
were being stricken powerlessly.

If the knowledge that the plague
is spreading to the capital city,

the people will be in chaos.

So, until a medication
is found,

control all people coming in
from West and North areas.

And, keep this information
strictly secret.

Yes, sir.

I'd better report this to the King.

Don't let the patients in Public Hospital
know that the doctors and nurses

are dispatched to Hwanghae
where plague is prevailing.

Tell especially those nurses with a
'light mouth'.

Yes, sir.

Who are you?

Is this the house of Dr Hur,
of the Public Hospital?

Yes, but, who are you?

I'm Oh, the medicine keeper,
working with Dr Hur.

Ahh, I'm not his wife.

Dahee, Dahee!

Dr Hur has some work so he won't
be able to come home for awhile.

For how long?

I think at least for 10 days...

What's going on?

Uh...

Looking at your face, I can
tell something has happened.

Uh...

- Plague?
- Plague?

He said thousands of people
have died already.

Joon and other Court doctors ...

All went to Hwanghae where
the plague is prevailing.

Where about in Hwanghae?

He said Haejoo somewhere.

Haejoo? Yangtae, how far is
Haejoo from Seoul?

About 80 to 100 km?
Anyway, it's very close.

Oh, dear!
What are we going to do?

If it's closeby, we don't know
when it will reach Seoul.

This is fantastic!

What are you talking about?

Thousands of people are dying.
You call it fantastic?

Those living should continue living.

Ilsuh?

When plague occured in
Doosi village in Sanum,

you got a charm from a
shaman, right?

Yes, I did!

How much did you pay for it?

I paid 6 cent for yours,
mine and unyun's.

If the rumor spreads that plague
has taken hold ...

6 cents, 10 cents ...
will be nothing.

Are you talking about doing
charm business?

That's it! And if we sell herbs
good for the plague,

we will become rich in
a matter of time.

Let's see. There is no talk in
the marketplace about the plague yet.

I'd better start the rumor first.
Come here.

Chaesun.

Yes?

I need to see you.

You remind me of Hong Choon.
And she reminds me of you.

Where is Hong Choon?!

Where did Chaesun go?

Yejin, massage my shoulder.

Oh, god.

You girls!

Where is your dignity as Court nurses!
Can't you straighten your body?

If you act like that, what will
the young nurses learn from you?

You may get some rest.

It's enough working hard all day.
There is no need for the dignity!

Chief Nurse! The medicine
manager is looking for you.

Go outside now.

Hong Choon...

Look at me, look at me.

Why?

Let's go.

I'm worried every day that
perchance you might get the plague.

You be careful. too.

I have a secret method of my
own, from the olden days.

Take this.

What's this?

This is called orpiment.

Take this much and push it through
the nose and sneeze.

Then, the plague wouldn't
come near you.

Here, you try it.

Push it in, close this side and

Good!
That's good.

Sit down, sit.

Good.

To avoid the plague, health
restoration is primary.

If you're healthy,
the virus can't attack you.

So I prepared this for you.

Eat it. Come on.

Sir...

Eat it.
You take this.

Chief!

What's that?

Oh! It's chicken!

- Yes, you eat it too.
- Alright.

- It has herbs.
- It's fine.

You're eating all the big
pieces.

Eat it.

Stop eating it!

Here. Take this and eat it
somewhere else.

There is no meat...

Go there and eat!

Where are you going?

There is no meat.

Are you alright?
Please go and take some rest.

I'm fine.

Give me water.
Give me water, please...

Did you talk to me just now?

Can you talk?

Yes, give me some water.

Doctor Hur!

What is it?

A dying patient just talked.

The swelling went down and
the fever started to lower.

How is he?
Is there really progress?

Yes.

The fact that the fever and
swelling inside the neck are down

means the murrain is lessening.

Good, good.

Sir, sir!

A message from a doctor
in Haejoo has arrived.

It's from Dr Lee in Haejoo.

It's a message that the patients
there are getting better, too.

You should go and see
the General Manager

and report this to him.

Yes, sir.

It's an express message that
they have found the cure.

Send this post haste and
let deputy minister know.

Yes, sir.

We should share this prescription

with other towns hit by the
plague and stop the sickness.

Of course. This is great.
We are saved.

Thank you for your hard work
in finding a cure so quickly.

Good job.

They say plague is prevailing
in Hwanghae area

and thousands of people
died from it.

It's already spread to Haejoo
and Gaesung and ...

It's just a matter of time
until it reaches Seoul.

No need to panic. No need to panic.

Then what's good for the plague?
What do you think?

You don't know, right? Wait.

Come on. Come out.

Good, it's out.

Here! Among all this charm is
the best for plague.

Let me explain about this.

This was drawn by a brilliant fortune
teller in Mr. Kyeryong. And,it's excellent.

If you post this on your doorsill
or have it on your waist ...

Plague? Plague? Even the evil
can't come near you. Yangtae!

Here! Let me tell you about this herb.
This is good to prevent the plague.

If you make a decoction with this,
you don't need to worry about it.

Give me one.

Stop pushing.

Give me one too.

Here is the charm.

There is the last one.

Ilsuh!

Honey, did you sell many?

- Hello.
- Hello.

Go to the fortune teller and
get more. We've sold them all.

Oh, dear.

And the herbs are nearly gone too.

Look! This is all money.
Money.

We will be rich soon.
We will be rich.

- Take them away now.
- Yes, sir.

What's going on?
You've got the wrong person!

Why are you doing this?

Let's talk.
Sir, let's talk.

- Oh, honey!
- Ilsuh!

Put it down and let's talk.
Don't do this.

Sir, please save me.
Sorry, sir.

Sir, please have mercy.

We didn't do anything wrong, sir.

Shut up!

You spread the rumor in the
marketplace about the plague.

And you deceived people by
selling them the charm and herbs.

Do you deny your crime of corrupting
public moral and cheating the people?

- What are you doing? Hit them.
- Yes, sir.

Oh, Dear. Ilsuh!

What? Let me live in a whale-sized
house and wrap me in silk?

Oh, you trouble-maker!

I knew it from the moment
you called it fantastic.

There is no wealth in my fate.

Be quiet...

What's going on?

It's nothing.
Don't worry, miss.

My whole body is aching.

I should be looking after the King
inside the Court by now.

What hard work.

I knew it.

Everyone is working.
What are you doing here?

I just came in here.
It's true.

Get up now!

Yes, ma'am.
But I have a fever and I'm sick...

Stop being a baby
and come out now!

Doctor Hur,
take some drink.

If we were in Seoul, I would call
the nurse gisaengs and give you good time.

Since that's not possible.
Please be understanding.

Thank you for your work.
Let's drink.

Doctor Hur, can't you drink?

I'm sorry, but the sickness
is not completely under control.

I'm grateful that you have
prepared this feast,

but I think it's too early
to enjoy it.

One glass doesn't make you drunk.

And the way I see things,
the patients are showing progress.

I think we don't need to worry about
the plague. Don't you think so?

You are right, sir.

Let's drink.

Please come out, sir.

What's going on?

The patients who were showing
progress have relapsed.

What?

- Sir.
- What happened?

The fever is back.

What's wrong with them?
You said he was getting better.

- Prepare Jang Dal Hwan.
- Alright.

Doctor! Doctor!

Look at this patient!

Is he dead?

Doctor Hur.

Doctor Hur.

What about other areas?

Return to your assigned region
and take care of the patients.

The same thing may have
have happened there.

Yes.

What happened?

What's the reason patients are dying
again when they were fine this morning?

I'm not sure of the cause either.

If a doctor doesn't know,
then who would?

Chaesun!

Chaesun! Chaesun.

Sir, what's wrong with this girl?

It's murrain.

It can't be.

Doctor Hur, please check her again.

Please help us.
Please help this girl.

Chaesun...

- Joon.
- Doctor.

Doctor, doctor!

Chaesun...

Sir.

I've successfully delivered
the private message.

Sit down.

Anything happened?

The General Manager who led
the trip suffered from sogal,

but I looked after him
and he's fine now.

I was told by him. Great job.

Are you aware that a plague is
prevailing in Hwanghae?

Yes, I heard it on my way back

and detoured the trip
and came to Seoul.

How is it going?

Doctor Hur led the doctors and
Public Hospital nurses there,

but it's not enough.

Send me to Hwanghae, sir.

Chaesun.

Chaesun, Chaesun...

Chief...

Are you awake?

Chaesun

Chief, Yejin...

I can't die like this.

Chaesun.

I wanted to go to Court and...

Look after the King.

I can't die like this.

Chief, Yejin...

Please... Please...

Please save me...

Chaesun, you won't die.
You won't die.

- Chaesun, you won't die.
- You will be fine.

After all this pain...

I want to give a massage
to the King...

Of course.
You must massage the King.

Please save me.

- Yes, Chaesun.
- Please, save me...

You will be fine...

You must live. You must live.
Chaesun...

Doctor Hur, I can imagine
how upset you must be...

But you can't give up like this.

Doctor Hur.

Doctor Hur, let's start over.

We used a lot of medicine and

we did everything we could.

But it's not effective, so

how about prescribing different
medicine according to each symptom?

This is emergent situation.
we can't forecast anything.

We will be giving prescription without
precedent and causing confusion.

Let's use gosam, as instructed,
in the medical books.

It's a very strong herb,
almost poisonous.

The brewed decoction will be so
strong it can exterminate intestinal worms.

We can't use it on the patients
who have lost much physical strength.

If you're worried about toxicity,
how about gardenia seeds?

It's used for jaundice, headache,
scrotal hernia

and it's good for calming down
boil on children's head

or swelling inside adults' neck.

What do you think, Dr Hur?

Doctor Hur.

Doctor Hur.
Chaesun is...

Chaesun, get up.
Chaesun...

Doctor!

Doctor Hur, please save her.
Doctor.

Chaesun!

She passed away.

Chaesun.

Chaesun! Chaesun!

Chaesun!

Doctor!

Chaesun, Chaesun...

No. No.

Chaesun, Chaesun...

Doctor, please save her.

Chaesun, Chaesun...

Doctor

I have something to say to you.

What is it?

Please don't think I'm being
impertinent.

But, try giving Japanese apricot
to the patients.

In the past, there was
a similar plague in my hometown

and all the patients who had
Japanese apricot juice were cured.

Did they get better with
Japanese apricot juice for sure?

It's for sure.

Apricot is good for high fever,
diarrhea and dysentery.

And, there is credibility to hear
Japanese apricot cured murrain.

But you get boil on the head
from the murrain.

And I haven't heard about Japanese
apricot being good for that.

I think the high fever is causing
boil on the head

and swelling in the neck.

So if we lower the fever,
those symptoms can be cured also?

Yes, I think that's for sure.

Fever is caused by being unable to
digest food at the right time, so

let's empty the sick stomach with
a castor bean and use Japanese apricot.

OK.

What about our plan to use
gardenia seeds and sophora?

Since the effectiveness of
Japanese apricot is not confirmed yet,

let's divide the patients into 3 groups
and also use sophora and gardenia seeds.

Let's do that.

Doctor, here is the apricot juice
you asked for.

Put them down.

Give this apricot juice to the patients.

More here!

- Is it sour?
- Give me one more.

If you take it excessively,
it will be toxic.

How is it going?

The patients who had apricot juice
is showing lowered fever.

The patients who had sophora and
gardenia seeds didn't progress.

Then give apricot juice to those who
are on sophora and gardenia seeds.

Sir, a message from Dr Hur
has arrived.

Sir, Dr Hur is in control
of the plague.

Really?

It says he used apricot to calm
the disease.

The patients in all towns hit by
the disease are showing progress

and there are no more deaths.

Yes, good!

I'd better report this to the King.

Thank you for working day and night.

Since the disease seems to be under
control, prepare to return to Seoul.

Great work.

To reward your work,
I've prepared a feast.

So relieve all the hardships
before leaving.

Take the doctors and nurses
to the feast.

Good work, Doctor.

Sir.

I recognize your achievement
and hard work,

but I can't overlook your past.

Since I've fulfilled my duty,
take me.

Prepare to escort him to Seoul.

Yes, sir!

Doctor Hur! Doctor Hur!

The magistrate is looking for you.

You have to go to Seoul now.

There was an order from the King.

The King will meet the doctors and
nurses who worked against the plague.

Get prepared.

Go and prepare now.

What are you doing?
You should get ready to leave.

I can't stop you since
it's the King's order.

I will ask about your past
in Seoul.
