Episode 114

Halt.

I am one of the royal physicians in the royal retinue.

We were held up but finally made it. Let us pass.

All the royal entourage is inside.

Are you a blithering idiot?

This is Royal Physician Heo Jun.

Now let him through.

My lord.

Doctor Yi.

How did you...?

I'm so glad to see you again.

I feel awful.

I didn't realize what you went through to save the records.

It's in the past.

We owe it to Sanghwa.

It was his sacrifice that made this possible.

Well, tell us all the news.

Everyone says it's just a matter of time till the enemy gets here.

They're leaving.

Those...

This is Pyongyang. Where can they go?

All that's left is the Yalu.

And Lord Yang has taken ill.

Is it bad?

Not really, but he's weak.

So...

That is why the King's attending physician is Doctor Yu.

My lord.

What?

Heo Jun just arrived.

Are you sure?

Yes. He's with Doctor Yang now.

Ma'am, if Doctor Heo is here, your husband may be with him.

I'll be right back.

Hong-choon...

Hong-choon.

Hong-choon.

Hong-choon.

Hong-choon...

Hong-choon.

- Hong-- - Husband.

Dear.

- Hong-choon. - Husband.

Hong-choon!

I thought I'd never see you again.

Are you all right?

Yes, my husband.

Hong-choon...

Your son.

Huh?

It was your duty to accompany the retinue.

What you did was foolish

Yes sir.

Then again, good doctors are always stubborn.

My lord.

However, no one will understand why you went back for those medical texts.

I was going to send for you.

Did you give the King his tonic?

I am doing so now.

You have fulfilled your duty.

Doctor Heo will resume as royal physician.

Doctor Heo?

I would like to see the King. Announce me.

Of course.

Sire, Doctor Heo.

Doctor Heo?

Enter.

Doctor Heo will resume as royal physician.

I knew it.

I knew he wouldn't try to run away.

I'm not satisfied with your explanation.

You stayed behind to get some old books?

Meaning those bits of paper are more important than the King?

- Milady, I... - Silence!

It was out of concern for the royal house, out of loyalty...

...that he saved the archives.

Or he's making an excuse to cover up his running away.

Milady.

Enough. Leave us.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Don't let it bother you.

His Majesty puts great value in you. That is why he feels that much more sorrow.

It's the war, that's all.

Just wait until he settles down a bit.

The King will see why you did it.

Your grace is immeasurable.

I'm pleased that you made it.

Your Highness.

How is your family?

I didn't reach them in time.

I don't know.

How awful.

My lord.

Have you been well?

I thought you were assigned to Prince Im-hae.

I'm assigned to His Majesty now.

Did you hear about your family?

You know something?

They were here looking for you.

Where are they? Well?

Ugh, I'm so hungry that my stomach is sticking to my back.

Just our luck.

- I swear. - Mom, Mom...

Where have you been?

What did you get this time?

Ta-da.

Where did you get it?

Eat.

How did you get it?

For a trinket.

Jewelry? From your dress?

Mm.

That cost MONEY! For rice balls?

What good are jewels if I'm dead?

You got fleeced by profiteers.

- Well done, very well done. - What do you mean "well done"?

That's my girl.

Let's all eat together.

- Sure, sure. - Ma'am, Lady, Kyeom!

Rice balls.

Sweetie!

- Here you go. Eat. - Where did you...?

Where...?

From my little girl, best girl in the whole world.

Enjoy, everyone. We'll get more.

Well done.

...you little no-good...

Eat.

Kyeom. Here. Eat.

I'm fine.

Eat.

Best rice ball I ever had.

C'mere.

What? What?

What?

If you must trade jewelry for rice balls...

...keep it for US, not strangers!

What strangers?

W-w-what?

You mean my husband and the in-laws?

Smell the green tea.

If you marry him we'll be supporting the whole family.

Marry?

Ugh, what are you laughing about?

Now eat. All of it.

Mother.

My lord.

Jun.

- My husband. - Wife.

You're safe, you made it.

Mother.

- Who..? - Jun.

My lord.

- You're here. - You're alive.

Where have you been?

Kyeom.

Is that any way to treat your father?

Kyeom.

You must be busy looking after the King and his court.

What brings you all the way here?

Kyeom.

Is this how you treat your mother, your wife, me?

Is this all we are to you?

Kyeom.

When the capital was burning all we thought about was you.

But you never came.

If you had to look after the King...

...you couldn't take a minute for your own family?

Always the same.

Ever since I was little.

Your family means nothing. Your work, everything.

Did you give a single thought to your mother? Your wife?

Kyeom, how dare you?

I've never held it against him.

I'm proud of him.

I know how important his work is, I'm proud.

Don't do this, please.

I'm to blame.

I'm in the wrong.

Husband.

I'm sorry.

He's like you in a way.

More like you, I'd say.

He's our boy, he's like us both.

Such a sleepy-head.

Hong-choon.

I won't be able to live if I don't see you for even a moment.

Let's never be apart again.

Husband.

Hong-choon.

- Oh. - There, there.... There, there...

Now... c'mere you...

There, there...

Let's go outside.

Or maybe the barn...

Kaesong and Haeju are in enemy hands.

Your Majesty, we must go to Eui-ju.

Pardon me.

If we leave Pyongyong, our people will rise up in rebellion.

I will stay.

Your Highness.

His Majesty's safety in Eui-ju cannot be guaranteed if Pyongyang falls.

Leave me the remaining troops and I will hold the city.

As you know, the royal retinue will be split.

Half with the King in Eui-ju.

The other half here with the Prince.

I will remain here with Yu Do-ji, Kim Man-gyeong and Yi Myong-won.

My lord, I'll stay.

You belong with the King.

No. I'm not the one to attend him. You are.

My lord.

I doubt I could make it to Eui-ju.

I will only be a burden to His Majesty.

He is under mental and physical strain.

Don't leave his side for a moment.

His Majesty is moving to Eui-ju.

So-hyeon will attend the King. The rest will stay here.

The enemy will attack Pyongyong in force.

We will serve as hospital nurses.

Be ready.

Ma'am, let us go with the King as well.

Ma'am, send them in my place.

I will stay here.

I would if I could, but how can I trust them?

Do as you're told.

Take stock of our supplies and report to me.

Yes, ma'am.

How much rice is left?

One or two sacks.

Sell it for cheap real quick and get ready to leave.

Why sell it for cheap? It's pricey stuff, what's the rush?

Hey! The King's retinue is leaving for Eui-ju.

Huh?

Father, please look after yourself.

What are you doing here?

I have been ordered to attend the Crown Prince.

I'm taking Doctor Yu with me. You stay with the Prince.

Yes, Sire.

Ma'am.

Doctor Yu, quickly.

Yes ma'am.

Doctor, His Highness is feeling faint.

How is he?

I have treated the fainting spell.

With acupuncture and medicine he'll be back to his old self.

Your Majesty, I didn't realize how hard all this has been on our son.

Perhaps we could stay until he is better.

Your Majesty, forgive me, but the enemy could be here any minute.

We can't wait.

We must flee for Eui-ju.

Enough.

What do you think Doctor Yu?

Will the trip to Eui-ju be too much for him?

I have performed acupuncture and we have herbs.

He should be fine for the journey.

We must find a place where Your Majesty can rest as well.

I see. We move on.

- Yes Your Majesty. - Yes Your Majesty.

- Move out. - Move out!

Let's go!

Death to the Japanese!

Move, move!

How much thistle, camellia and cuttle-fish bone is left?

Thistle, two bushels, camellia, three, and none of cuttle-fish bone.

We don't have nearly enough medicine.

What should we do?

Send people to the hills to find horseradish.

Horseradish?

The extract can be used to treat wounds and stop bleeding.

Yes, sir.

Jun.

- My lord. - Doctor.

What are you doing here?

We'll do our part, live or die, so...

...we came to join the volunteer army.

It's true.

Father.

Kyeom.

Japanese! The Japanese are coming!

Check his pulse again. I told you to recheck his pulse!

My son! No!

Kill me, Your Majesty.

You can't leave me like this.
