What happened?

Well?

He's dead.

It can't be... it can't...

Make him better! Do something!

Sire, kill me.

Baby, no. Don't leave us.

Don't leave me.

Open your eyes. You can't leave me.

Baby... my baby...

Baby!

No...!

Sire, kill me.

Please... kill me...

...my baby...

[Episode 116]

You're awake?

My lord.

Lie still.

I'm fine.

- Here. Drink this. - Thanks.

What happened?

I remember being shot, that's it.

When I came to I was alone at the river.

The bullet had passed through my side.

After that all I could think of was getting to Pyongyang.

Well done.

You saved us all. We were heartsick.

You saved me once. It was the least I could do.

My lord, my lord.

The Japanese are attacking again.

Stones!

Logs!

Yang-tae, kick him!

Behind you! Move!

Take that!

- Young master! - Scum!

Kyeom! Kyeom!

Stay with us!

Kyeom!

Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!

Kyeom's been shot.

What?

Kyeom.

Young master...

Kyeom, Kyeom... Kyeom...

...Father...

Kyeom... Kyeom!

Father.

All right?

My lord.

Prince Kwang-hae wants you.

Your Highness, Doctor Heo.

Enter.

- Sit. - Your Highness.

How may I be of service?

Sinsong is dead.

Your Highness.

You have to go to Uiju.

My father is ill.

Your Highness.

Get ready.

Sir.

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?

Young master...

- Husband. - Mother.

Jun, will Kyeom be all right?

Don't worry, the wound isn't fatal.

Kyeom.

Father.

I'm afraid I have to let you down again.

I've been ordered to Uiju.

To where? And leave your wounded son?

Jun.

His Majesty is gravely ill.

It's my duty to attend him.

It's our Kyeom, your boy.

Darling.

Father, don't worry about me. Go.

I know what you do matters, it is worthy work.

Go. Look after our King.

Kyeom.

I won't hold it against you.

Don't worry. Do your duty.

The enemy has us surrounded. Getting through won't be easy.

Your escorts to Uiju.

Don't worry about Kyeom.

We'll do all we can for him.

Please.

Shall we?

Move out.

Hong-choon, I have to go.

Be safe.

You, too.

Go.

Go, go, go!

Yes, sir.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, just a graze.

This won't do.

We'll deal with them. You go on.

You'll come to a larger road.

Follow it all the way to Uiju.

Now go.

Right.

- Come on. - Yes, sir.

Ye-jin.

Ma'am.

Welcome.

How is the king?

He's been ill for days.

Will I live?

Sire, I'll do all I can for you.

We will get you back on your feet, never fear.

How is the King?

Exhausted mentally and physically.

Be more specific.

Anxiety, anger, and the sudden death of his son.

It all caught up with him.

Can you treat him?

I can only promise to do all I can.

Usually fatigue is indicated by low fever or chills.

One or the other can be treated.

But both at once are dangerous.

His Majesty?

He suffers from both symptoms.

The imbalance of Yang and Yin has made him weak.

We dare not try acupuncture treatment.

King Heart Tonic and Four Substance Decoction...

...should balance his Yang and Yin.

- Prepare the tonic. - Yes, Doctor.

I'll monitor the preparation.

Wait.

I have a question.

Yes?

Where is Doctor Yu?

In the stockade.

With the death of the Prince, even if he lives through it...

...his medical career is over.

You've had your look.

Now go.

Doctor, Doctor.

We have a problem.

There are no herbs for the King's medicine.

What?

The herbs we brought from Pyongyang?

We had enough for the tonic, but not the decoction.

The herbs are not to be found.

How much tonic do we have?

Three days worth.

Do what you can with that.

I'll come up with alternatives.

Have men scour the local herbalist shops.

Yes, sir.

Doctor.

Doctor, if I may?

Yes, come in.

Doing all right?

How did you get here?

We evacuated to Uiju.

Sir, they have rare herbs imported from the Ming.

Is this aloeswood?

Yes, sir, the war has been good to us.

We got to thinking, 'Ah, invest in Ming herbs, that's the ticket.'

Then we heard how the King's medicines have run dry and here we are.

Thank you.

Aloeswood regulates the Qi and eases pain.

This will be a great help to the King.

If you're happy, we're happy.

The King is improving?

Yes.

He's well enough to begin acupuncture treatment.

Excellent. When will that be?

Tomorrow morning.

You hold the fate of the King and our country in your hands.

Remember that.

My lord.

I would like Doctor Yu to perform the acupuncture.

You what?

I was shot in the right arm on the way here.

I cannot hold the needles.

But Doctor Yu can.

Impossible.

Your Grace.

He let the Prince die.

How can we trust the King to him?

Your Grace, Doctor Yu failed, it is true.

But he is still a fine doctor.

He is the only one that can treat the King with acupuncture.

Please allow him to help.

Doctor Yu is treating the King?

Yes. Doctor Heo was shot in the arm and can't hold the needles.

Why not? It was just a graze.

How odd.

I think that Doctor Heo is giving him a chance to redeem himself.

Untie him and leave us.

- Sir. - Sir.

Let's go.

Why are you doing this?

One reason.

You're the only one that can help.

Let's go.

I will pardon Doctor Yu.

Forgive me for doubting you.

I am sorry one hundred times.

Forgive me.

I apologize.

For coming between you and our master.

For being a burden to your career.

Do you know what happened to my family?

They were taken by the enemy.

Mother... Darling... Kyeom...
