Original subtitles

Torture them again!

Stop!

Stop. It's the order of the Queen

Release them!

What are you talking about?

There is no problem with the food

There's no problem with the food?

Then what?

It's due to a misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis?

Is this true?

Yes, sir

(Episode 45)

How did this happen?

I don't know

They said it was the order of the Queen

That means...

She's been finding out more about the illness while...

everyone thought she had been punished by the inspectors

By the order of the Queen?

Yes

Are you saying that our lives are in Jang-Geum's hand right now?

For now...

That girl is still alive?!

Yes, Sir Min said it was the order of the Queen

I didn't give this to the police yet because I didn't know...

how the situation would turn out

That's good...

What could be going on?

The Queen did this against all the rules?

What should we do about Lady Choi's family?

We should get them out first when they're declared innocent

Yes

I've brought everything from my father in Soonchang

Did you bring all of the books written by Jang Joon-Kyung?

Yes. Books on the flu all there by Jang Joon-Kyung

But what kind of family do I have?

Though my grandfather was a minister of the government

he was well versed in medicine so he also acted as a physician

and my grandfather wrote books as a physician as well

So there are books that can't be found anywhere else in Chosun

Jin Gui Yao Lue

Is this one of his books too?

Yes? Yes, he told me that

this is one of the rare books available only in our family

I think he said it lists all other illnesses

What book is this?

It's called "Jin Gui Yao Lue"

Isn't Jang Joon-Kyung a Chinese physician who wrote about the flu?

How come we didn't see this before?

I think it lists many of other illnesses

It probably was overlooked because of his famous book on flu

Where did you find this?

I asked someone at Sung-Gyun College...

to find me a book by Jang Joon-Kyung and he found me that book

I didn't realize it at first but don't you think it's that disease?

But isn't the description too short?

Can you be sure only with few lines?

But they seemed to list important symptoms

Sir!

What is it?

Jang-Geum is back

What?!

Jang-Geum?

What?!

It's Jang-Geum for sure

Please go now...

Did you find the King's illness?

Yes, we've carefully examined many patients...

who had similar flu-like symptoms like the King

But I found out that the problem isn't the flu

If it's not flu...?

When the King didn't have the flu he frequently had a swollen mouth...

and spots on the legs The wound from a thorn festered

and when he received acupuncture as well

They were all same disease

The symptoms of flu and skin problems were all same disease

I've successfully treated two persons with exact same symptoms as the King

Really? You really did that?

Yes, Your Majesty

What is the cause?

How did he get the illness?

I haven't found that out yet

What is the name of this disease that is making the King suffer?

I've found the disease but I haven't found what its name is...

It's Behcet's disease

Then did you know about this already, head physician?

I knew after seeing how often he suffered...

while studying about King's symptoms

I read that he could have a sequela if the flu symptoms...

are prolonged and that it is called Behcet's disease

From a book?

Yes, it's Jang Joon-Kyung's book called "Jin Gui Yao Lue"

Then does it have a prescription too?

Yes, Your Majesty

We can use licorice medicine

No, Your Majesty. We must use Yong-Dam-Sa-Gan medicine

It is due to an inflammation of liver meridians

we must see this as a weakened liver

What are you saying? We must see this as a bad liver and kidney

He drinks much and because he is constantly worried by

the affairs of the court, his liver energy had increased stress

Frequent sickness due to cold, flu & sores have drained his energy...

weakening his ying energy & it has caused a consumptive fever

It's true that many of the patients suffering from frequent flu...

have suffered skin problems before they suffered flu symptoms

It's possible that it isn't a simple sequela due to flu

Do you mean you know more about this than Han dynasty's Wang Shu-He?

I don't mean that...

If not, then why are you trying to refute what is written in the book?

Head physician, she isn't talking about such things right now

What do you mean?

Head physician, please calm down

We read the Golden Coffer Medicine Summary too

but the description was too brief

It's hard to rely on it only...

Are you saying you trust Jang-Geum more than Wang Shu-Be or myself?

That's not what he's trying to say

He's saying that since Jang-Geum has seen...

and treated patients we've never seen before

we ought to be more careful

Even you?! Why are you doing this?

Let's stop this. We need to take care of the King quickly and

the Queen has requested to get a prescription as quickly as possible

so we can't continue on like this

Three physicians will check the King again

And we'll discuss this again

This doesn't make any sense

How could she give such an important order to a mere physician lady...

without telling you when there is Royal Pharmacy?

The Queen has nothing to do with this she can't be interfering like that!

And treat the King relying on a mere physician lady?! It's shocking!

That's right... This can't be...

Head physician, you still haven't changed your mind?

No, Your Majesty. It's a sequela caused by frequent flu

It's Behcet's disease

The prescription I gave initially wasn't wrong and...

I'm also right about the current prescription

What do you think physician Jung?

I think, it's not caused by frequent flu

Then?

It's due to inflammation of liver meridians as Jang-Geum said

Now your diagnosis has become very important. What do you think?

Seeing how his pulse is submerged...

his liver seems have severe stress which is causing the fever, so...

Your Majesty...

the Right Prime Minister & other officials are waiting outside

What is it?

What is this about?

No, Your Majesty. Your health foretells the nation's future

So how could you accept words of a mere physician lady? Please take back

Please take back

And you've ignored the pharmacy and myself to do this when the...

Royal Pharmacy could've found this out, going through the formal process

So the officials are already talking about other motives...

that you might have

Other motives?! How could I have other motives...

besides the one to better the health of the King?

Your Majesty, that's what I'm telling them as well...

but the Confucian scholars and the officials are acting differently

So please correct the path that has taken a temporary wrong way

This should be taken care of by myself and the pharmacy

Your Majesty, please understand us

Please understand us!

Sure. I'll do as you and the head physician say

Your Majesty, you can't do that!

Shut up! How dare you speak like that?!

Your Majesty, I don't normally do this for other things

This is about the health of the King

A wrong prescription directly effects the King's welfare

If we don't treat him right away he will suffer extreme stomach pain

and could have difficulty breathing which can lead to paralysis

and even... and even...

Shut up! How could you speak this way about the health of the King?!

Your Majesty...

Head physician you take care of the King

So they're going to do as the head physician suggested?

Of course...

I don't know why the Queen has ignored us to do this

I know... it doesn't make any sense...

This is the list, go ahead and make it

Yes, sir

Sir, it's written in the book

Don't worry about it

Then the Right Prime Minister has sided with...

the head physician to follow his treatment?

Yes

What is he thinking anyway?

But he couldn't have sided with Jang-Geum though

If the head physician does cure him we won't be going out of here

I'm saying there's something strange with how he's doing things

He should release us first If things turned out this way...

it means there's no solid proof that the food was the problem

so why should we be kept in here?

Tell him that we've asked to be released immediately

Sure

Your Majesty... Your Majesty!

What's wrong?

My lord, are you OK?

Weren't Jang-Geum's words right?

He's has extreme stomachaches and has breathing difficulties

What are you going to do?! What?!

What are you going to do now?

What Jang-Geum has said came true but what about the rules...

and formalities that leave the King like this?

Please bring up the Yong-Dam-Sa-Gan medicine

The acupuncture meridians are Daedon, Kyun, Kwangmyung...

from all the places from Seungeup to Changjook Jungmyung

All the places from Seungeup to Changjook Jungmyung??

What's wrong?

Those spots are too dangerous

We even avoid using them on civilians

That's how much we think of safety for the King

You might be saying that because...

you don't really understand the rule about acupuncturing the King

so please change your mind

Please use those places

Though I don't know about medicine it sounds like the prescription...

and the treatment you've given are dangerous

Why don't you follow the advices of physician Jung and Shin?

I'm worried about it myself, but if the disease has spread to the stomach

and the respiratory organ then it could spread to that place

That place?

The acupuncture is successfully completed

It must go without an accident he must be kept well

If anything goes wrong, then not just the physician lady...

but you and myself, and even the Queen will be put in a danger

And the appeals to impeach you for ignoring the set procedures...

of the Pharmacy's secret order...

for the Queen to do this it's overflowing already

I know

It was reckless

It's too reckless...

His breathing sound seems to indicate he's feeling better now

You think that too?

His breath does seem to be deeper now

Yes, Your Majesty

He seems to be comfortable breathing now and

his stomach pain seems to have come to a lull

So I think he can start eating again

Jang-Geum, tell us what type of food he should eat

But the Highest Lady of the Kitchen...

So you came out?

We can only come out since we've been innocent from the start

You came out because Jang-Geum has said...

the illness is not related to food...

but since the problem of his health and papilionaceous mushroom...

hasn't been solved, your feet will be tied until it has been settled

What?

You will not be able to go out of the palace

and the highest lady won't be preparing King's food for a while

It's only until the issue settles

We heard Jang-Geum treatment worked What more needs to be done?

It's only procedure

Procedure?

Papilionaceous mushroom was found

And you were released because I earnestly requested the Queen

So don't feel sad

Things are difficult for me too I don't know how it will turn out

Sleepy...

Are you selling these?

Yes. You want some? Pay up

No, I don't want it I've made a bet...

with my wife over whether this is a liquor or not. It's over 2 cents

So who won?

I did

Then give me one cent

What? Why?

If you earned 2 cents because of me then one belongs to me

Are you crazy or something?

What the heck, waking me up and...

Honey...

Why are you here again?

You've been doing fine for last 3 days?

Yes

Could something have happened to Sir Min?

Really?

Let's go inside and look for him

Sir Oh, the Right Prime Minister has gone out of his home 3 days ago...

and he hasn't come back

I've watched his place for 3 days without a sleep

Except for two people going into her residence...

the previous head lady hasn't gone outside of her home either

If their relationship isn't disclosed then our Jang-Geum...

I'm sorry

There goes a girl like Jang-Geum...

It isn't someone like her It is Jang-Geum

Then am I dreaming or are we in Jeju?

I didn't have a chance to tell you

but she has been taking refuge temporarily by the order of the Queen

I couldn't tell you because it was a very important order

But even so, how could you have kept it as a secret to us?!

I am really sorry

Do you know how much we've been worrying for her and

spent many sleepless nights? Isn't that right, honey?

Honey...

You're really remarkable!

You've found the King's illness...

I know... she's really remarkable!

I heard he's been improving and he can eat again

How are you feeling, Madam?

Shin-Bi has been taking such a good care of me

my rapid heart beating and dizziness have gone away

You must be careful until the delivery

OK...

Madam, I'm a military official from the royal guards

Is the physician lady Jang-Geum here?

What is this about?

Seize the criminal Jang-Geum!

My lord, look at me. Can you see me?

No... my eyes have darkened so I can't see well

You can't even see me?

I can only see you faintly...

My lord! My lord!

Queen... I can't see...

You can't see, my lord??

The King can't see Because of your prescription

How dare you try to diagnose his illness as a mere physician lady

and the official of the pharmacy to convince the Queen...

to give secret order to bring about such monstrous result?!

Jang-Geum, speak if you have a mouth to speak

Why can't you speak?

You've said that the King's health would greatly deteriorate...

if we didn't follow your prescription

There is no need to listen to her anymore

Drag Sir Min to the police and imprison him

Jang-Geum should be driven out of the palace...

and be beheaded as a public example

Her Majesty the Queen is here

I trusted you... how could you commit such a tragic act?

Tell us the reason! Why did you insist on those acupuncture spots...

even when the Pharmacy tried to prevent it?

I did it to prevent the King from going blind

What do you mean?

It's not because of the acupuncture his eyesight has weakened

It's part of the healing process

Your Majesty!

We couldn't utter such serious consequences to you at the time

but Jang-Geum predicted that it would happen

That's why she gave such prescription

They're lying. They're trying to evade responsibility

There's an infirmary set up by the Queen in the herb garden

You'll find two patients there and one of them has gone blind

So Your Majesty...

Please allow me to check the King's pulse

She's out of her mind! How could a physician lady touch the King...?!

Although I'm a physician lady, I also practice medicine

I've read his private medical records and many other books

but I've never been able to check his pulse myself

Your Majesty!

Please allow me to check him!

Then will you be able to cure him?

Your Majesty I'm sorry to tell you this

but a physician cannot give assurance over an illness

Are you trying to extend your life since you're going to die anyway?

Your Majesty, I'm sorry...

but a physician does not try to save her own life before a patient

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, it's something you've started anyway...

so I think you should go ahead and make a decision yourself

Sir, a physician lady checking the King's pulse?! That cannot be!

Why didn't you finish it yourself?

Why did you give it to the Queen?

Yes... this is concerning the health of the King

If he happens to lose his eyesight because of that physician lady...

Sir!

What are you planning to do?

We can get rid of the Queen's forces and Left Prime Minister now

If the health of the King happens to be damaged...

Even if that happens what damage would that do to us?

What?

We have the Crown Prince

We can gain everything in one action

I've driven us to the edge of a cliff

At that edge of a cliff you are with me

I said I would be with you whether it'll be one year or ten years

Her Majesty the Queen is here!

If I accept your request I have to hang everything I have on you

I have to put this position as the Queen on the line

I trust your heart and I trust your words

But your heart, or words are not your talents or skills

So I think a good person without skills or...

a bad person with skills can injure a person equally

The former without intent and the latter with intent

That's all the difference

Though it isn't intentional, if your skills lack, I will be hurt

Do I still have to trust you?

Do I have to do that?

Yes

First, you already have lost two legs

By preventing her to check his pulse those two legs won't grow back

But if you allow her to check him so he can be cured...

then your two legs will grow back and you will even gain two wings

Sir...

But that's only possible ifJang-Geum opens the King's eyes

That's the second reason

Physician lady Jang-Geum will most certainly cure him

It's the order of the Queen

Release physician lady Jang-Geum and have her check the King's pulse

But she has ordered Sir Min to be locked up in the jail...

until the treatment is over

Would you be able to make out a prescription?

Would you be able to make out a prescription?

Leave her alone

It is more important to cure him of the disease

Do it with care and tell us when you've made the prescription

Jang-Geum, what's wrong?

Is your prescription wrong?

No, but...

Then why? How can you be reading books right now?

There's something

I'm suspicious about, I must find it

You see... she was only talking big

I know, she was so sure of herself and she's only reading books now

How could she accept those empty words before death?

Shouldn't we stop her before it's too late?

What if something happens to the King...

before someone could treat him properly?

What if...

Timing is important in treating a person

Is she still reading books?

Yes, she's been on them all day yesterday

I think the King's pulse and her assumptions didn't match up somehow

Yes, I saw her feeling perplexed when she was checking him

She seemed to be somewhat doubtful as well

Something is wrong

She may be trying to be careful since everything depends on this...

What is it?

Did you decide on the prescription?

Yes

What is it?

But I'd like to visit some place before I give prescription

Please allow me...

A place you want to visit?

Your Majesty! You must not allow it

She seemed to be ready to cure him

but she only read books all day yesterday

She could be trying to run away now that she finds it difficult

And the King's eyesight is getting worse day to day

I must confirm if my prescription is correct

That way I can cure his eyesight as well

Your Majesty!

Go

But soldiers will follow you

This is the well for the water reservoir

It's reserved for the King's use

This is the King's bath water

Because of his many skin problems we draw the water from here

Doesn't his meat and milk from this region as well?

That's right

Then I should go there

You should do this for us

What is it?

No matter how I think about it it can only be the head physician...

who put papilionaceous mushroom in our spice jar

We can't suffer like this

Write in a small amount of arsenic poison in the prescription...

written by him before the day when King fell ill

Yes?

I return only as much as I have received. Do that

But I made medicine with that prescription

You only have to say that you only followed his order

and that he has told you it's a medicine for the King

And we'll protect you

You've received goods from us and you said you'll be on our side

Isn't this right?

OK

Only Yeul-Yee could have added the mushroom

We'll see how things will turn out

You put a person behind Yeul-Yee

Yes, ma'am

Are you sure? She really... did meet the attendant of Lady Park?

Yes

Finally, things are becoming clearer

Then Lady Park has been...

What should we do?

Find out what kind relationship Yeul-Yee has with Lady Park

And also, find out who Yeul-Yee's father is

He is the new owner of my brother's herbal fields

Could even the Right Prime Minister Sir Oh Kyum-Ho...?

I don't know...

The disease seems to be Behcet's

but it doesn't seems to be a sequela of flu

I've checked it in various ways

But that's what it is?

It could be. It could cause inflammation of liver meridian

It could show as acute symptoms

but I've seen it come to surface 10 or 20 years later

After checking many things, I've grown to be more confident

Did you decide on the prescription?

Yes

What is it?

It's Bang-Gi root and red ginseng

The reason is...

Bring up the medicine We don't have time

Sure

I need help. Please show me again how to make red ginseng

Then you've been doubting that?

Yes

I hope the head physician won't be put in a more difficult situation

I don't have any objection to his prescription

Your Majesty, it's garlic porridge and pickled plum

Please have this

These are red ginseng cakes

My lord, you still can't see me?

My lord, look at me. Can you see me?

My lord, please look at me

Do you feel better?

My lord! My lord...

Your Majesty, please eat this...

My lord, eat...

My lord! My lord!

I trusted you! But how come his eyes or skin problems aren't improving?

What good is this red ginseng if he can't see?! What good?!

Get them out of here right now!!

Oh, no, Your Majesty. He must eat

He is getting better he will get better

He must eat

I'm the criminal for trusting you

I'm the criminal for trusting you

My lord, kill me instead...

Queen, calm down... calm down

My lord!

Get this wench out of here!

Get this girl out of here!!

Your Majesty, the King must take my medicine and food!

That's the only way he'll get healed

Please trust me, Your Majesty!

He must take them! Please trust me!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Lady Suh!

Sir...

Then what will happen now?

The Queen is in agitated state so no one can speak out...

but surely, the head physician's words will carry more weight

Then it's back to the starting point again

Arrest them!

You were speaking so confidently...

Are you afraid?

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid that I might go away like this...

without having cleared Lady Han's name

Criminal Suh Jang-Geum, come out

Confess your crimes!

Confess all the details leading up to current circumstances!

Torture them using leg-screws until they confess their crimes!

Stop!

Stop!

The Queen has ordered physician lady Jang-Geum to come immediately

What is the reason?

There is no time to give reason

Release her immediately! Hurry!

Jang-Geum, come near quickly!

Come near... come...

After I sent you out, the physicians came to check him

and he's doing much better now

His skin has improved greatly

He no longer has skin problems

Physician Shin and Jung said your prescription works

That's why I called for you again

Although the skin has improved a lot his eyes are still the same

Check him again... Go ahead and check him

Is it over now?

No, just a moment

Please...

Your Majesty, please sit up

Your Majesty, open your eyes now

My lord, open your eyes
