[Episode 130]

My lord.

My lord... My lord...

My lord... My lord...

Such a fool.

My lord.

I'm not the fool, you are.

The righteous have nothing to fear.

Power is fleeting.

What matters greed to the just?

You...!

Here he is.

How's Doctor Heo?

The Inquisitors got him.

Huh? The Inquisitors?

The ministers want him executed.

Executed?

Curse them, ALL of them.

May lightning strike them dead.

What did Doctor Heo do wrong?

You're right.

After all the years he spent caring for him as Crown Prince.

This is what he gets? Execution?

Does his family know yet?

Maybe. Probably not.

My lord.

My lord...

The warden let us bring you some food.

You shouldn't have bothered.

You'll need your strength for what lies ahead.

Please.

Thank you.

I need a favor.

Anything.

My family may not know what happened.

If you could let them know?

Of course.

I'll tell them myself.

Huh? He was right here. Jun. Jun.

Jun, Jun, Jun!

Jun...!

Jun... Jun...

Ma'am, you need your rest.

Who are you?

Ma'am, it's Dol-swe.

Don't you recognize me?

Have you seen Jun?

He and Yang-tae were playing at the ferry.

But they're not back yet.

Go find him.

Ma'am, please...

Mother.

Ma'am, she's not herself.

Mother.

Has he come back from the Mongols?

Go to Fort Juan.

I sent someone to help him, but who knows?

Well? Go on.

Yes, Mother.

Doctor Heo is being held by the Inquisitors.

What will happen now?

He'll be punished, but no one knows how.

Try not to worry.

The ministers know how much he's done.

They'll show mercy.

Can I go see him?

I'll ask.

But it won't be easy.

You asleep?

Nope. Not me.

Life is transient. It's so true.

'Life is transient.'

You've been reading.

Heo Jun.

I was so jealous when he was promoted to the first rank.

Now he's in prison.

Waiting for his sentence.

You never can tell with fate.

My lord, aren't you going to do anything?

At least try talking to the King.

Doctor Heo may be executed.

Law or no law, the idea is absurd.

I already spoke with Minister Song.

And?

He and Doctor Heo are close, he'll do what he can.

Be patient.

Sire, the Prime Minister.

Enter.

Yes?

Sire, I'm here about Doctor Heo.

Go on.

The other ministers want his head.

But that is unjust.

I agree.

He must be held accountable for His Majesty's death.

Surely exile to a distant land will suffice.

What? She's suffering from senility?

Yes, I saw it myself.

Rambling on and on, completely out of sorts.

Then On-nyeon was right.

Does Jun... I mean, Doctor Heo know?

No, I doubt that very much.

One thing after another.

What now?

Senility is more properly called dementia.

Then dementia it is.

Now, is there no treatment?

Well...

I've been at this for twenty years and I've never heard of one.

Jun can help her. I know he can.

I swear.

How will he do that from prison?

Shouldn't we at least tell him her symptoms?

I don't think so.

He can't do anything. Why break his heart?

Don't you think?

Yes, I do.

Now that's a first.

Hear the King's decree.

Hear and obey.

The ministers desired your head for the death of the late King.

But in recognition of past services,

His Majesty sentences you to exile.

Sire, thank you.

Sire.

Sire.

Come in.

Well?

He's on his way.

Good. You may go.

My lady.

My lord.

I hated to exile him.

But appeasing the court and consolidating royal authority...

...is a daily trial.

Ma'am... Ma'am.

Ma'am, Doctor Heo has been banished.

He's still in the capital.

If you hurry, you can see him.

Hurry, ma'am.

Jun... Jun...

There he is.

...Oh, no...

Doctor Heo...

Oh, Doctor Heo...

Jun... Jun... Jun...

Jun, Jun!

Doctor Heo.

My love...

- Darling. - Darling.

Jun.

Jun! Jun!

Jun!

Jun!

- Mother. - Jun.

Mother.

Jun... Jun...

Jun!

Jun! Jun!

- Jun! - Ma'am.

Jun! Jun!

Jun...!

Jun! Jun!

Ma'am, please...

Jun!

Jun...

- Jun... - Jun...

Move out.

This is your sentence.

No contact with anyone not approved by the local office.

You may not go to the local village.

Any deviation will be met with severe penalties.

Remember why you're here.

Behave yourself.

- Move out. - Sir.

Come by often to make sure he's behaving.

Yes, sir.

Jun...!

Jun! Jun!

Ma'am, please...

Jun!

Jun...

Who are you?

The magistrate sent her.

Eun-ok, you will do his chores and be his caregiver.

Sir.

Caregiver? I don't need that.

She is a government slave.

The magistrate would like a word.

Come along.

Magistrate.

Welcome, my lord.

What do you want?

I want to ask a favor.

There's a person of note that needs a doctor.

A counselor to the late king, Lord Yi Jae-cheon.

Is he ill?

Let's go in and find out.

I've heard of you, even out here in the wild.

It's a shame your fate was tied to the royal house.

Not at all.

I failed to revive His Majesty.

It's fitting.

How is he?

Very well.

Nothing to worry about?

Yes.

Perhaps a restorative?

I'll have the herbalist prepare it.

No. He doesn't need it.

But what if the King sends for him?

The trials of court life.

The court physicians are more than competent.

You needn't worry.

My lord, my lord.

You can't just leave.

I have it in my power to make your life much easier.

If you make me look good...

Don't ask me to do this again.

W-w-wait...

Talk about obstinate, I swear.

Can you read?

I asked if you can read.

Yessir.

You may go.

Oh, and you needn't come back.

Yessir.

Ah, you just got back?

Yes.

The magistrate wants you.

Off you go.

You're up?

What are you doing?

They sent me back.

I told you there's no need.

Now go.

It's fine. Go on.

My lord, the truth is, the magistrate told me to keep an eye on you.

Act like I'm not here.

My lord, come quickly.

What is it?

We know you were a capital doctor.

Please help my mother.

It's been a month now but we don't have money for medicine.

Help her, Doctor.

Save my mother.

I'm in exile. I can't treat anyone.

Doctor.

You should go.

- Please. - Doctor.

My lord, forgive me

But I believe all she needs is a simple prescription.

How do you know that?

Help my mother.

If would break my heart if she died...

...without seeing a single doctor.

Just one look, please.

Look at her, Doctor.

Heo Jun is no doctor, he's a criminal.

He's treating patients?
