[Episode 92] Open the door.

- Quiet you...! - Please open the door.

There are patients here. Please help us.

We'll all die if you leave us in here.

Shut up! How dare you cause a ruckus?

Doctor, Doctor! It's me, Dol-swe!

What happened? Why are you here?

It's a long story.

After my mother passed away, I tried to make a living and...

What's the matter?

It's nothing, Doctor.

What do you mean?

Please save me. There are many patients here.

Open the door.

Doctor...

I said, open the door.

What do you think you're doing? How can you leave them in here?

What's the matter?

Well, the doctor...

What do you think you're doing?

Please get the healthy inmates out of jail.

The sick inmates must be quarantined and treated.

The healthy will get infected and die.

I can't do that.

Sir.

They are all hard criminals.

We don't have enough medicine. I can't waste precious medicine on them.

But they are human beings, too.

They are too weak to run away. Please let me treat them, sir.

This is none of your business. Scurry off.

Sir.

Go back to your work.

Why don't you take the doctor's advice?

I think he has a point.

Their lives are as precious as ours. We can't leave them to die.

Remove the inmates.

Yes, sir.

But we can't let this one out.

The jail cell is already plague-stricken. He'll die if he remains.

He is much healthier than the others. He could run away.

My men and I will keep a close eye on him.

Release him.

There are guards everywhere, so he won't be able to run away.

We are short of hands. He can assist the doctors.

If something goes wrong...

I'll take responsibility.

Release him.

Yes, sir.

Sir, thank you!

I have to treat many patients, and I need your help.

Yes, sir!

Chae-sun.

Chae-sun.

What is it?

When I look at you, I think of Hong-choon.

And when I look at her, I think of you.

Can you get her for me?

Where is Chae-sun?

Ye-jin, massage my shoulders.

All right.

Wenches, you are royal nurses. Carry yourself with more dignity.

What will the public hospital nurses think of you?

You girls need their rest.

They worked hard all day long. Who cares about dignity?

Ma'am, Assistant Lim is looking for you.

He is waiting for you outside.

Hong-choon.

Over here.

What's the matter, sir?

Come with me.

I'm so worried about you catching the plague.

You should be careful, too.

I have my ways of avoiding the plague.

Here.

Take this.

What is it?

It's called Realgar.

If you apply this under your nostrils, like this...

Then you'll sneeze and no plague can attack you.

You should try it, too.

One moment.

You won't get sick if you eat well. No disease can attack a healthy body.

I brought this just for you. Go on, eat.

Sir...

Come on. Eat.

Here, go on.

Ma'am!

Goodness! What is that? Oh, it's chicken!

You should eat some, too.

All right.

That's delicious.

Go on, eat it with salt.

Why not eat it all?

Chae-sun, look!

Let's go.

Ma'am!

Man, that's low.

Sir, I brought the tonic.

Thanks.

Drink this.

Drink all of it.

Here.

Miss. Here.

Wait, aren't you Dol-swe? Why are you here?

Um, I'm helping Doctor Heo.

But why are you in Hwanghae Province? You live in Jincheon.

Geez, why are you asking me pesky questions?

I won't.

Water, please.

Are you talking to me?

Can you talk?

Water, please.

Sir.

What is it?

A dying patient is talking again.

The swelling and fever also went away.

Is he really showing signs of being cured?

Yes, sir.

The fever is gone, and it means that he's recovering.

Sir, we have a message from Haeju.

It's a letter from Doctor Lee in Haeju.

He says the condition is improving there.

Report the good news to Minister Jung at once.

Yes, sir.

Here, I wrote the good news.

Deliver the letter to Lord Sung without delay.

Yes, sir.

We must let people in the other regions know of the prescription.

Of course. What a relief this is.

We owe all of this to you, Doctor Heo.

You've done a wonderful job.

Sir, things have taken a strange turn.

What do you mean?

What if Heo Jun really cures the plague?

Such a huge accomplishment might lead to a royal pardon.

Then all the years spent trying to arrest him would go to waste.

So what do you suggest?

We have to bring him down now.

I can't stand him anymore. I will tell Minister Jung...

Don't.

Sir.

If you go against my wishes, I will investigate the bribes you took.

Sir!

I'll handle the matter of Doctor Heo. Don't get involved.

What the...

Sir, you should get going.

Where?

Minister Jung is going himself to check on the situation.

Shouldn't you join him?

If he asks for me, tell him you can't find me.

Yes, sir.

Man, he does whatever he wants.

No saving him.

He thinks he's the king.

I have returned safely, sir.

Was everything all right?

The third minister had a bit of a problem with his diabetes,

but I was able to make him feel better.

Yes, I heard about it. Good job.

Did you hear about the plague in Hwanghae Province?

We heard about it on the way, so we took another route.

What is the situation now?

Doctor Heo and other royal physicians are working there,

but it hasn't been resolved.

Sir, please send me to Hwanghae Province.

It's too soon after your trip back from China.

Stay here.

- Sir! - We understand.

Rest at home.

Milady! Milady! Master Do-ji is coming.

Do-ji.

Husband.

Have you been well?

Not a bit. She nearly died.

Watch your tongue.

She nearly died? What do you mean?

Nothing important. Don't mind her.

You've thinned.

The long journey must've been hard.

She suffered from metrorrhagia?

Yes.

Who treated her?

Tell me.

Doctor Heo Jun and Nurse Hong-choon.

He treated her sincerely though she refused and humiliated him.

Gather around, gather around. There's no time to dilly-dally.

This is no time to go grocery shopping.

A plague took up in Hwanghae Province and thousands have died.

It's already spread to Haeju and Gaesung.

It'll reach Hanyang in no time.

What do we do?

But I'm not worried. I have this powerful charm.

I hang this on my hip, and it chases away all illnesses.

No way.

Hold on, I'm speaking from experience.

Where'd you get that?

This? They might've run out.

How much was it?

It's a little expensive. Just a little.

A bit pricey.

So how much?

Go over there.

Where?

Focus!

What is this? It's a super powerful charm.

Got them from a very famous fortune teller living on Gyeryong Mountain.

Hang it in your house, carry it around!

Sends away the plague, chases it away far!

Know someone who died too quickly to even write his will?

Give him this charm, and he'll wake up to say,

"Everything to my firstborn."

That's how amazing it is.

We also have an amazing medicine. It's the perfect cure for any plague.

Will we have this charm tomorrow? The day after?

No!

Why not? Because we're running out fast.

Only for today!

So don't regret it later and buy it today!

Money in my paw first.

Line up, line up.

Alright, don't worry. Got plenty.

Did you sell a lot?

Yeah, I need you to get more charms from the fortune teller.

We're running out of tonic ingredients, too.

Didn't realize till today how heavy money can be.

Look at all this money.

We'll strike it rich in no time.

You'll be wiping your behind with silk soon!

Arrest them!

Yes, sir!

- What? What? - Sir!

No! That's mine!

Let go!

What are you doing? Haman!

Oh, sir!

- Sir... - Sir! Please don't kill me.

I'm dying! Please spare me!

Oh, Il-seo! Please spare them!

I'm dying!

I was just following orders!

Sir, spare us!

What did we do to deserve this?

Sir, please don't kill us. Spare us!

Shut up! You spread false rumors that a plague is spreading.

You sold charms and tonic ingredients for profit.

Are you going to deny how you misled innocent people?

What are you doing? Strike them!

Yes, sir.

No, sir!

Sir!

I wanted to save them! From the plague!

Sir! You'll kill him!

Spare him!

Let's go! Hurry!

Il-seo!

What happened?

What? You'll buy me a huge mansion and silk dresses?

I knew this would happen! Oh, my rotten luck!

Ow! Be quiet!

Why were you arrested?

It's nothing. Please don't worry.

You call spreading rumors of a plague and profiting off panic, nothing?

Is this true? Why would you be so foolish?

Forgive us, ma'am.

Oh, my body aches all over.

I should be massaging the king. What the heck am I doing here?

I knew you would be here.

What are you doing while everyone's working?

Ma'am, I just got here, I swear.

Get up!

I have a fever. I ache all over.

Stop being a crybaby and come out.

Doctor Heo, have a drink.

If we were in Hanyang, I would've treated you at a courtesan house.

Please understand that things aren't so favorable here.

You did a wonderful job. Let us drink.

Do you not drink, Doctor Heo?

I'm sorry, but the situation is not over completely.

I am honored, but it might be too early to celebrate.

Goodness, you won't get drunk over one drink.

And the people are getting better. I don't think we need to worry.

Wouldn't you agree?

I surely would. Doctor Heo, feel free to drink.

Sir! Sir! Sir!

You need to come now.

What's the matter?

The plague patients are getting sick again.

What?

This way, sirs.

What's going on?

Their high fevers have returned.

What's the problem? Didn't you say they were getting better?

Prepare more Jangdalhwan.

Yes, sir.

- Sir! Sir! - Sir!

Sir!

Is he dead?

- Chae-sun! - Chae-sun!

What is wrong with her?

She's infected.

Those who drank the apricot juice are getting better.

Doctor Heo has cured the plague!

I don't want to die.

You won't!

What if His Majesty pardons his sins?

The past cannot be buried.

I have fulfilled my duty. Punish me now.
