[Episode 60]

Just what are the rules for deciding the rank?

Why are they posting Doctor Heo and me to the public hospital?

I don't think it's fair at all.

You should have gotten the 8th rank instead of me.

I can't receive the promotion while you're sent to the public hospital.

I don't think of it that way. Don't worry.

Since there are plenty of patients there, I'm sure it will be a chance to learn.

Will you cut out the nonsense? Don't you know what that place is like?

Not only is the workload crazy,

but once you are posted there, it's impossible to return to the palace.

Most doctors just give up and go back home.

Is that why you passed the exam? Is that what you really wanted?

I'm sure Kim Eung-taek is behind this.

He's getting revenge because you brought back the tonic.

I can't let this go.

Doctor Jang.

Even if I have to quit, I shall make a hard protest on this outrage.

Doctor Jang!

What is the matter?

I have something to say, sir.

What is it?

You're saying Doctor Kim is taking revenge on you and Heo Jun?

I'm sorry but that is how it is.

Silence!

Doctor Kim and Doctor Song wouldn't have bribed anyone.

And they would never let their personal feelings get in the way.

How dare you make such an accusation?

If you can't believe me, please look into this matter.

What!

If you find out that I'm lying, you can have my life.

Is anyone out there?

Yes, sir.

Tell Doctor Jung that there will be an internal investigation.

Yes, sir.

I was worried for a moment. I'm glad it's over.

I knew this would happen.

You still don't know what Doctor Yang is like?

What do you mean by that?

He is the one who really wants Heo Jun out.

Just because he had accepted Yu Do-ji, do you think he has forgiven Yu Eui-tae?

Not at all.

I will demand my prize if I win.

Kneel before my feet.

Shout out three times that Yu Eui-tae is the best doctor in the nation.

Also, I want you to treat me to food and wine.

Yu Eui-tae is the best doctor in this country.

Again.

The best doctor in the country...

...is Yu Eui-tae.

Doctor Yang quit drinking in great bitterness after losing that contest.

He put aside his pride and said, Yu Eui-tae is the best doctor in the country.

You really think he's forgotten it?

When Yu Eui-tae's son came into the picture, Doctor Yang was very nervous.

But Do-ji wasn't as good as his father, and it was obvious.

He was better than other candidates,

but he didn't have the fire and the skills that his father had.

But Heo Jun is different.

His skills are superior enough to threaten Doctor Yang and his reputation.

Why would Doctor Yang train a man who will be a threat someday?

Heo Jun will suffer at the public hospital and eventually quit.

Sir!

What's the matter?

Doctor Yang has ordered an investigation!

Investigation? Investigate what?

He's checking the inventory list of the medicine and herbs.

You fools.

Sir, please forgive us.

How can you expect me to forgive you?

Stealing medicines and using them for personal reasons is a serious crime.

Sir, it wasn't for our personal use.

We were looking after the health of the important senior court officials.

Where's the harm in winning the lords' favor?

It would only benefit you--

Shut up!

Are you trying to drag me into this?

Sir, please understand our intentions.

You were the ones I trusted the most.

How will I ever trust the others to do the right thing?

I am going to send you to a new post as a punishment.

Sir.

Be grateful I am letting you off with a slap on the wrist.

Sir!

You may leave.

I said leave!

Yes, sir.

I'm sure you couldn't disobey your superiors,

but as you were involved, I must punish you as well.

I understand what I did was wrong. I'll take any punishment you give me.

Doctor Choi will manage the storage. Be on standby for my next order.

Yes, sir.

How did it go?

Things turned out worse.

We're still going to the public hospital,

and Doctors Song and Kim are going with us.

They hate us as it is. They'll make our life a living hell.

You had the guts to expose the truth, so what are you afraid of?

Let's not worry and make the most of things.

I made the situation even worse. I feel really bad.

You are being punished for this incident. We have to punish Jang Hak-do.

You are not thinking ahead.

It may be a blessing in disguise.

I may be on probation, but this is better for me.

What do you mean?

Doctors Kim and Song were Doctor Yang's most trusted men.

Now that they are sent away, who else is left in the palace?

Doctor Jung doesn't care about success and politics.

We'll have a better chance.

I see.

Come on, let's drink.

Yes, sir.

Mother, I'm home.

Come in.

Sit.

Is it true that you're being punished?

How did you know?

My father sent a message.

Please do not worry. He will speak with the head physician.

I don't know how to repay you for everything.

I am satisfied with my husband's affection.

Please don't feel pressured.

Excuse me while I go prepare some tea.

My goodness.

My wife is right. You don't have to feel pressured.

You are clearly clueless that her words have a hidden meaning.

What do you mean?

She knows about Ye-jin and your past relationship.

That's all in the past. What does it matter now?

It's not in the past.

You didn't know that she has become a nurse?

Stand aside.

Now, now, step aside.

Keep up with me.

It's fine, I'll keep reading your palm.

Maybe you'll become rich. You'll most likely age.

Let me see.

Here we go. Other side.

You poor, poor woman. Your life is full of misery.

Goodness!

You're unlucky with your husband and children.

Absolutely no blessings!

What do I do?

Well, listen to me carefully. Every single word.

- Let me whisper. - Whisper.

- Closer. - Closer.

Listen carefully.

Eon-nyun...

Having fun?

No.

Go! Go now!

Run, faster!

See, I told her to leave.

Having fun whispering sweet nothings?

Nope.

- Is it fun? - No.

Why don't you read my palm?

My ear!

Nice try!

Blood! I'm bleeding!

It was just business.

Likely story!

Il-seo! Il-seo! Oh-keun is coming.

- Oh-keun! - Hello!

How have you been?

We've been fine.

Put those down here.

What did you bring?

They bring medicinal ingredients to the palace from all over the country.

And they'll also supply you with high quality herbs.

All you have to do is sell them to private clinics in Hanyang.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You may go now.

Goodness.

In early April, medicinal herbs will arrive from the Northern provinces.

There will be rare Chinese medicines.

If you can get them, you'll be set.

- Oh-keun! - Stop it!

We won't forget what you have done, Oh-keun!

Wait!

If other herb merchants find out, they'll become jealous.

- So be quiet about this. - Of course.

As long as Il-seo keeps quiet.

He's right, focus on the work. Or I'll kill you.

No more sweet nothings. Gotta protect my other ear.

Bye then.

Why don't you have a drink with us?

For sure!

No, thanks. I don't feel like drinking.

Why not? What's the matter?

I feel so stuffy. What is life?

Bye.

Oh-keun!

What! What's the matter?

Put that red thing away.

Why?

The red color reminds me of somebody.

- Who? - Bye.

Why's he acting all weird?

Well, he was never normal.

Ow! That hurts!

- Does it hurt? - Nope.

Going somewhere?

Off to see Mr. Lim?

Be quiet, brat!

What's that?

I packed food for him.

Last time you packed a bundle for Yang-tae.

Better zip your lips if you don't want to get hurt.

What if the madam asks for you?

Come up with something.

I might stay the night.

Why does this room feel so big and empty?

Hong-choon... Hong-choon.

Sir.

Who's there?

It's me, Hadong.

What brings you here?

Please, like I need an excuse to come.

Since you have no wife, I'm sure you're not eating properly.

Thinking of you breaks my heart.

I made some food for you. Please try some.

It's meat, noodles, pan-fried stuff, your favorites...

No, thanks. Take it away.

There is nothing I can eat.

Sir...

Who asked you to bring me food? What would people think?

Take it away, and don't ever do this again.

What's gotten into you?

Leave.

Now.

Where am I supposed to go?

Leave.

- Sir. - Go.

- Sir! - Leave me now!

Then I shall leave for work.

Take care.

I have to work night shifts every two days in the public hospital,

so I won't be coming home every night.

The public hospital is located near Jongro so it will be easy to find.

If something urgent happens, send Yang-tae.

I will.

You should go.

Yes.

Is anyone there?

Open the door.

We're not open yet, so wait.

I am not a patient. I'm a new doctor here.

Open the door.

Ye-jin! He must have been assigned here.

That's strange. Only those with the poorest grades are sent here.

But he came in first. How strange.

Well, it's a good thing for you.

There's going to be a meeting shortly, so hurry up!

You...

I am Heo Jun. I was posted to the public hospital.

I told you to avoid this place.

Did you give up on your dream or were you not as good as others said?

I hope to learn a lot from you, sir.

Well, welcome aboard.

Welcome.

This is Doctor Kim Eung-taek, who will be in charge starting today.

The public hospital has been managed very poorly all this time.

But I'll make sure that discipline and order prevail in this place.

First, I will inspect the inventory to see what needs to be reformed.

He's the one who stole medicine and now he wants to inspect us?

What a joke!

Why do you think he wants to check the storeroom?

He wants to see if he can steal again.

How can that be?

Just wait and see.

How long have you had the fever?

- A few days. - Few days...

Huh, look. It's Lady Ye-jin.

Lady Ye-jin.

- Lady Ye-jin. - Lady Ye-jin.

What brings you here?

We're here to see you.

We want to become nurses. Please help us.

We're willing to do anything to become nurses.

I understand how you feel, but there's nothing I can do.

It is not so easy to become a nurse.

We know, that's why we're asking for help.

Okay, I'll see what I can do. But don't expect much.

She knows about Ye-jin and your past relationship.

That's all in the past. What does it matter now?

It's not in the past.

You didn't know that she has become a nurse?

Things seem to match up.

Ye-jin, you are so lucky.

You have a handsome nobleman watching your back.

And now you work with the doctor you love.

But look at me. I get punished all the time.

What's the matter?

The amount of Angelica herbs don't match up.

Well, there could be a little difference.

But it's not a little. It's five pounds.

That much?

Why do nurses keep the inventory record?

The doctors are too busy, so we keep the records instead.

Let me see the record.

What are you waiting for? Give it to him.

He is suffering from severe fatigue.

He is pale because of a bad liver, and his eyesight is getting worse.

Prescribe him with the four ingredients tonic.

Yes, sir.

So-hyun.

Ye-jin and Chae-sun are being punished by Doctor Kim right now.

For what reason?

The storage they are managing is missing five pounds of Angelica herbs.

All right. Go back to work.

Okay.

How can so much be missing if you didn't steal the herbs?

Tell me where the herbs are!

How would we dare do something like that?

We don't know why they are missing.

You manage the storage. If you don't know, who does?

Tell me!

We may be responsible for the loss, but we didn't steal it.

What? How dare you talk back to me?

That's enough.

Take them to the constabulary!

You manage the storage. If you don't know, who does?

Go outside.

A doctor from the palace is looking for you.

We can't let this happen.

There's nothing we can do.

I will find it!
