ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

-Hey, wait for me. -Wait for me.

Eun-woo.

Shin-woo.

I heard that Councilor Cho adopted you.

So what are you doing in Sorak?

What are you doing out late at night?

And who is this?

He is a physician in this village.

A physician?

Are you sick?

I am all right now.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Chungseong Lee family.

Eun-woo might get in trouble

if she is seen with a man late at night.

Be more thoughtful.

What is there to be thoughtful about? I am her physician.

People will start talking.

A proper physician would never abandon his patient

because he is afraid of some rumors.

I shall be going now.

How do you know that righteous man?

My father used to be his mentor a long time ago.

Did he offend you?

If he said those things because he cares for you,

I am fine with it.

-Did you hear that? -Yes, I did.

I will investigate it.

What? Investigate it?

Mr. Yoo, you saw something white too, right?

It was probably a wild animal.

I am sure it was.

There used to be martens and deer in Sorak Mountain,

but they have disappeared after being presented to the king yearly.

Do you think…

It was…

a ghost?

"If you can empty your mind,

then even the spirits shall admire you."

What? Who said that?

It is what Zhuangzi said in his book, Heaven and Earth.

I see.

I will take you back

to the government office safely, Lady Eun-woo.

GYESU INFIRMARY

Have you all starved to death?

Nam-hae, you are here.

Who is this? I like the way he eats.

He always follows Mr. Yoo around.

What are you hiding? Let me see that.

-What? I am not hiding anything. -Ip-boon!

I told you many times to make sure that the vegetable pancakes look pretty.

Grab a big spoonful,

and make a circle here.

A circle.

Yes, a circle.

-Ip-boon. -Why is it not working?

Enjoy.

Ip-boon, your side dishes need to improve.

There you are, Poong's girlfriend!

Come, you should eat with us.

Welcome, Lady Eun-woo.

Lady Eun-woo, you should eat with us.

I think you will enjoy the food now.

I am seeing a lot of new faces around here, Mr. Gye.

Feel free to give us more food. We were forced to eat her food to survive.

Father!

I heard that the Nine-Tailed Fox reappeared last night.

Please be careful.

Yes. Everybody is talking about it.

They killed somebody on Sorak Mountain and took the liver.

You mean, the Nine-Tailed Fox from last year?

But they caught the perpetrator for that.

There has been another murder.

You know, Chil-sung asked me this morning

to help him with the autopsy.

I really do need to send somebody.

I mean you should go, you idiot. You cannot even perform acupuncture.

I am a physician,

not a mortician or a law official.

So why on earth should I go?

This is the countryside. We do not have our own mortician.

The village physician must help out.

Sure.

Lady Eun-woo.

Did you work in the fields all morning?

Oh, my.

I think you ate more and faster than him.

This is hurting my pride.

I am usually the biggest eater at the table.

Sorry, I keep eating when I am thinking about something.

This is really good, though.

Are you thinking about what we saw on the mountain last night?

Yes. Something similar happened last year too.

It was a murder that was disguised as the doing of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

But the perpetrator got caught, right?

Yes. The murderer was caught and punished, which is the problem.

They may say that my father's investigation was flawed.

It will be troublesome for him.

By the way, how do you know so much about this, my lady?

Before I got married,

I helped the government office with autopsies.

Really? Then you worked directly with the corpses…

Could you come with me, then?

You must remember the investigation from last year.

If I go to the government office,

people might start talking.

I am sure that your father will appreciate the help.

I know that you know a great deal about this case,

but you cannot be seen by anyone here.

So make it quick.

Yes, Father.

Mr. Yoo, look at this.

Oh, goodness.

It is different from last year.

The liver is gone, which is the same,

but the wound from last year was in a straight line,

and the cut was not this precise, either.

The perpetrator was a woodsman, so his murder weapon was a wood hatchet.

The blade was dull, which made the cut jagged.

Do you think the murderer is pretending to be the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Yes. This was not a spontaneous murder.

It was carefully planned out.

The perpetrator is very intelligent.

They are probably angry at the victim or you, Father.

That is impressive, Lady Eun-woo.

Have they identified the victim yet?

It will take some time,

since there is no identification and his face is damaged.

They found a butcher's knife next to the body.

The police are investigating based on that.

Mr. Seo, I have some urgent news.

The inspector from Hanyang is here.

And,

Mr. Im is with him, sir.

If Mr. Im finds out that you are here, he will throw a fit.

Go prepare a place for us to talk.

Yes, sir.

Darn it, move aside.

Mr. Seo, are you in here?

I am coming in.

This is the mortuary.

You cannot be in here.

The Nine-Tailed Fox murder has happened again,

which means you got the wrong man last year.

In my opinion, it makes no sense to trust Mr. Seo

with this case after he completely impeded the investigation.

Please come in, sir.

Shin-woo.

Hey.

He is an inspector sent by His Majesty himself.

Show some respect.

I am here as the inspector.

Since the murder happened before greeting you,

let us skip the formalities.

Please give me all of the records and reports.

All right.

Let us take this someplace else, since there is a corpse in here.

By the way, why did you hide, Mr. Yoo?

I do not know.

I wonder why the perpetrator left the murder weapon.

Do you think it was a mistake?

I am also bothered by how the knife appears so new.

How have you been?

Eun-woo.

What are you doing here?

I was just passing by.

It is almost my brother's memorial ceremony.

You still have not fully recovered, right?

I will explain everything to Mother,

so just focus on getting well.

I will try my best.

Let us go, my lady.

This cannot be all that you have.

While the investigation records were getting transported,

they were lost in a fire. It is all that we have left.

How disappointing.

Anyway, since we have a new murder on our hands,

it means that last year's perpetrator, Dol-seok,

is innocent, right?

It is too early to conclude that the perpetrator is the same for both.

-The investigation is still ongoing. -Mr. Seo. I cannot believe

that you were so careless with the investigation.

Is Councilor Cho doing well?

I am always hoping for

his good luck and happiness.

I need you to pay a visit to your hometown.

What would you like me to do, sir?

Go down there and find a man named Yoo Se-yeop.

If you find him, send me a letter first,

then keep an eye on him.

I need you to find somebody for me.

Yes, sir. Just give me a name.

I will go out right now and…

Yoo Se-yeop.

He is 27 years old.

He is from the Royal Infirmary and was named Top Acupuncturist

because he is so good at placing his needles.

Is that enough for you to find him?

I know Sorak like the back of my hand.

I could tell you how many dogs there are in this village.

-I will look for him now. -The faster, the better.

Yes, sir.

To the left, you idiot.

Darn it, I should be riding on a litter

lined with gold.

See, he is not even Councilor Cho's son.

He is just an adopted son. Who does he think he is?

No.

If I want to get a promotion,

then I need to suck up to him.

Hey, to the right!

Do your jobs right!

Jeez.

We are going to Gyesu Infirmary.

GYESU INFIRMARY

What is all this?

Move.

Mr. Gye is here.

Come on, you need to form lines.

Married women, go over there.

If you are hurt, go over there.

Where is everybody?

Jang-goon.

Ip-boon.

What the…

Darn.

What are you doing?

This is jangsagu.

I know that it is jangsagu.

But this requires several physicians

to work on it for multiple days.

Get rid of it!

I can do it by myself if I am persistent enough.

The first round is over, so I need to do the second round.

Do you plan to do this all night?

And I should see all those patients alone?

-Come on, clean this up. -Hey, Dad.

Mr. Yoo is trying to do something without acupuncture.

Why can you not support him?

You have both lost your minds.

I can heal him with a needle, so get this out of my sight.

It needs to go through the second round. You have to wait.

What has gotten into you?

Is this your version of a protest?

He just has dyspepsia.

He just needs a well-placed needle. How long will this take?

Just like you said, I cannot place any needles.

So I am using medicine and moxibustion

in order to carefully examine the roots of the illness.

Fine. That is great.

But what about this prescription?

Is this the Royal Infirmary? Are they high-ranking officials?

Musk, agarwood, ox bezoars, deer antlers,

rhinoceros horn, and Bubalus bubalis horn?

Are you kidding me?

Just look at these expensive herbs and medicines.

Mistletoe? Where would you get that?

Jang-goon and Man-bok went to get them.

From now on, I am going to treat all of my patients,

even if I have to use every medical text that I know.

What, you…

Step aside!

What the hell is going on here?

Is there a fire here or what?

Hey, Ji-han.

How is a quack physician like you still in business?

Stop right there!

How dare you slither in here?

Slither? I walked.

This is such a great location.

An infirmary this pathetic does not suit such a location.

If it had been up to me,

I would have built a better and grander building.

I do not want to hear it. Get out!

Hold on.

I heard you have a new physician here. Is that him?

Who said that you could come in? Get out!

Hey, if you cannot use your needles, try to be resourceful instead.

Do something useful.

I will try my best.

"Try my best"?

Move aside!

-Go away. -Dad.

Hey, let go!

-Dad. -Let go of me. Let go!

A physician who cannot use needles?

I said, move!

-Poong. -Hey, let go.

Do not bully Poong.

-Poong? -Hey, Granny.

Stop bullying Poong!

I said it needs to go through the second round.

No way.

It is definitely not him, then.

What a useless idiot.

Let go!

You have not changed at all, Ji-han.

Gosh.

You prick!

Why do you think Mr. Gye

tries so hard to get all of that money

from the noble families?

Probably so that he can buy more alcohol.

Three cabbages, five radishes,

two pieces of fish, and one pumpkin.

What is this?

This is what he got paid.

There were not any nobles among the patients, were there?

Mr. Gye is like Robin Hood.

He only takes money from the nobles.

These are gifts from the patients.

What did you just hide?

It is nothing.

What is nothing?

MUWONROK

Muwonrok?

Well…

This book is…

When you compare the marks left on somebody who was strangled

to the marks left on somebody who hung themself,

they look different over time.

Yes, that makes sense.

Muwonrok is a book that explains these things in great detail.

Is it not scary to read at night?

Not really. I have been helping out with autopsies since I was very young.

You know, I have been thinking that

you are very fearless, Lady Eun-woo.

I am not very good with corpses.

As a physician, you just need to treat your patients.

Nowadays, I cannot even do that.

It is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has killed again.

Get up.

It is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

There has been another murder.

The Fox killed somebody else.

Who are you? What is your name?

After asking around on the streets and showing his clothes to his family,

we found out that this is Choi Yoon, who was the mayor of Uiju.

We confirmed he was missing as well.

This is Min Yu-gyeom, Mr. Choi's student.

He came to the infirmary very often.

I put in those stitches last year.

The mayor of Uiju and his student.

Do you not think there was a motive?

They captured the perpetrator at the scene, did they not?

How could a child have killed a man who is over two meters tall?

Lady Eun-woo is right.

The child's name is Yeon-hee,

and she is the daughter of a butcher, who is a widower.

She is ill,

but she is not a murderer.

Ill, you say?

She sleepwalks.

It is an illness where she walks around while asleep,

but she does not remember anything later on.

Even if that were true, the knife that was found next to the body

was a butcher's knife. It is a definite piece of evidence.

Is she not the daughter of a butcher?

Are you really the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Do you not know who this is?

Answer him right away!

I…

Answer me.

Are you the Nine-Tailed Fox?

I think I am, sir.

You are confessing to killing somebody.

Think carefully before you talk.

I never wanted to kill him.

But…

I think I did.

How did you kill two fully grown men

with a child's body?

I do not remember, sir.

I have many witnesses who saw you wandering around Sorak

late at night.

I order you to speak the truth!

Is this butcher's knife…

not your father's?

Speak the truth!

Yeon-hee.

That little brat.

Wake up.

She kept looking for you since it was so loud out there.

It is all right now. Go to sleep.

There was a man there.

A man.

He is not there anymore. It is all right.

Granny, stop being so weird. Mr. Yoo's here, so go to sleep.

I am scared, Poong.

You should go and rest too.

Look after her for me, please.

Look after her.

Watch out.

There are 7,870 prescriptions,

and 18,082 patient records.

Good job.

Now, let us organize these by last name.

Yes.

You used to think you were the smartest man on earth.

I kind of miss those days.

Even now, nobody knows medicine better than me.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden, then?

You are putting yourself through so much suffering.

I am testing myself to see if I am still worthy of being a physician.

Still, how are you going to read

all 18,082 pieces of paper?

How about you just

take a needle and stab it in there?

-If I could do that, I would not be here. -Oh, my goodness.

Thank you, Jang-goon.

I see that Mr. Gye prescribes a lot of orange peel tonic.

That is right.

Mr. Gye likes to prescribe medication that only uses

one or two ingredients.

You will be doing this until the sun rises.

My goodness, why are you working so late?

Would you like some snacks?

It is fine.

We just ate a whole lot of food. I am so full.

The pot was not even warm. What on earth did you eat?

Well…

-Sweet potatoes. -Roasted chestnuts.

-Roasted chestnuts. -Sweet potatoes.

You can just make us anything.

What a stupid mosquito.

You worked hard all day to help me perform moxibustion.

Go get some rest.

Yes.

Hey.

I told you to go and take care of Granny.

What do you think you are doing?

You said that the girl is a patient here, right?

She sleepwalks?

Yeah.

She walks around at night because of her illness,

but they think she is the murderer.

Their investigation is total crap.

Is there anything that we can do?

There is something…

My goodness.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

I need to take her to the infirmary.

I cannot let you do that.

She was caught at the crime scene.

She is a murderer who killed two people.

It was simply a symptom of sleepwalking.

She should be treated for it, not framed for a crime.

You think you can lecture me? You, a small village physician?

I was once in the Royal Infirmary.

Are you not here because you could not believe

that such a small child could have killed two grown men?

Well, the law is the law.

She must go back to her cell.

Inspector Cho.

Did he say something stupid again?

-You must try to discover the truth… -Stop.

Our idiot newbie

does not really know anything about how the world works.

It is fine.

You are so forgiving, sir.

How kind of you.

Sir, what do you think about me treating Yeon-hee

while she is locked in her cell?

That is a luxury

that a murderer cannot afford.

A murderer? You do not know that.

Shut up.

Of course, Inspector Cho. You are completely right.

But, based on what I know after treating Yeon-hee for so long,

her heart is weak, and her liver is under a lot of pressure.

If she is in a new environment, her life could be in danger

because of a lack of energy flow.

If the perpetrator dies before the truth is revealed,

then you might take the blame for it.

Is her condition really that serious?

Yes, sir.

Please allow me to look at her

for just 15 minutes every day.

CHILD, WOMEN, EXTERNAL INJURY, INTERNAL INJURY

Mr. Gye.

I need your help.

Could you help Yeon-hee, please?

Hey. Get up.

Sit down.

I was planning on talking to you.

I cannot believe that they think Yeon-hee is the Nine-Tailed Fox, either.

Mr. Gye. You said that Yeon-hee walks around at night like that

-because of her illness! -Yes, I did.

Yeon-hee is ill. She did not commit any crimes.

Could you please talk to Mr. Seo?

There is no way that Yeon-hee could have killed two men.

Did Mr. Gye not say to sleep with the doors locked

because of Yeon-hee's symptoms?

But why did you leave the door open that day?

It is driving me crazy, too.

I do not know why the door was left open.

The door was left open on that day?

Did you lose a knife by any chance?

No, of course not.

I slaughter pigs for a living.

I cannot do anything without my knives.

Yes.

All right.

You should go back home for now.

I will help you to the best of my ability. Let us get up.

Could you talk to Yeon-hee, my lady? She might have seen something.

Hey, you.

Do not go around doing stupid things.

Yes. I am sure you want me to only treat patients who will pay me.

Well, you never listen to me anyway.

I will make the money, so do not get in the way of my treatments.

Just find some medical texts to help Yeon-hee.

I will allow only that.

All right.

Yeon-hee.

What did you do after you went to that forest?

I cannot remember.

You saw me leaving, right?

You went out this way then ran into the mountains.

Do you not remember that, either?

Do it quietly, will you? You almost gave me a heart attack.

I am sure the Nine-Tailed Fox

will love that.

Why do you keep chopping wood? It is not even winter yet.

I am just earning my keep.

I am not that shameless, you know?

If you want to earn your keep,

you must chop down all of the trees on Sorak Mountain.

Oh, please!

Stop messing around.

Jang-goon. What is wrong?

What is it? Are you all right?

Did somebody tease you again?

Who was it? I will break them in half.

I will break them into fours.

DECEASED

Did Mr. Choi really die?

Gosh, Jang-goon. You must be so sad.

He always treated you like his own grandson.

He said he would let me see the martens on Sorak Mountain again.

He said we could go look at them next time.

Really?

Did Mr. Choi really say that he will show you the martens?

Mr. Choi said that the martens can play in the mountains again

once he catches all of the bad men who hunted them down.

But…

I feel sleepy,

but I am so scared.

It is all right. You can sleep.

You drank the tonic and received acupuncture as well,

so you will be fine.

Darn it, I feel like she is not the real perpetrator.

You are right. She is not.

I found out earlier that Mr. Choi had been investigating

those who were poaching martens and deer, which were tributes to the King.

He submitted a report to the King's Court as well.

Did he find out who the poachers were?

No.

I think he was murdered before he discovered the truth.

They stole the most luxurious tributes for the royal palace.

They could have bought several mansions.

Those bastards.

Yes, there is some kind of nefarious plan behind this.

Yeon-hee did not do anything.

A goblin!

-A goblin! -Yeon-hee.

-A goblin! -Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Wake up, Yeon-hee.

There was a goblin holding a knife.

The goblin

was standing in a tree and it shot down a star.

I am scared. I am so scared.

What could she mean?

Yeon-hee.

I think Yeon-hee saw the murderer.

He is here, sir.

Yeon-hee.

What did that goblin look like?

A plum blossom.

A red plum blossom.

What does that mean? I think that she saw something for sure.

We need to go back to the crime scene.

You all can go. I will wrap things up here before I leave.

This is where the body was.

A goblin shot down a star while standing in a tree.

But that tree is too far away.

Too far to stab someone.

We were too focused on that butcher's knife.

The perpetrator left the knife there on purpose.

-No, he shot him with a bow and arrow. -If he shot him,

then there has to be evidence left behind.

Yes, Mr. Yoo. You are right.

That evidence

is right here.

This came from an arrow.

A war arrow.

The arrowhead that broke after hitting the bone

stayed inside the body.

Then, somebody shot Mr. Choi from a tree,

then took the arrow

and covered it up with that butcher's knife.

Yes.

Considering the depth of the injury and the distance,

the arrow was shot from a heavy bow. It was not a hunter.

That bow is only used in the Military Service Exam.

How do you know all this?

MORTUARY

The patient records. I need to look at them.

Here, have a drink.

Jang-goon, remember the day when Yeon-hee came here?

Could you find the records of the patients who came here around that time?

A piece of cake.

A 17-year-old with vomiting and diarrhea.

A 46-year-old with swollen lymph nodes.

A 20-year-old who fell from a tree, pain in his lower back.

A 35-year-old with jaundice.

They are all patients who visited the infirmary on the same day.

Did Jang-goon memorize all of the patients

who visited us on that day?

Of course. He is Jang-goon.

Thank you.

You are smarter than my young master.

Yeon-hee did not kill anybody. But the murders occurred on the nights

when Yeon-hee was sleepwalking.

Is it a coincidence?

Stop asking questions. Just tell me.

You are saying that somebody knows about Yeon-hee's sleepwalking

and they made her look like the perpetrator, then tried to escape.

That is exactly it.

Who else knows about Yeon-hee's illness?

Yeon-hee lives with her father,

so aside from him and us, nobody else knows.

Then the murderer must be

one of the patients who was there when Yeon-hee was at the infirmary.

Since Mr. Gye's voice is loud, someone must have overheard.

Make sure to lock the doors from the outside.

I have never seen you sound so smart.

You have no idea how smart he really is.

These are the records of patients

who were at the infirmary on the day that Yeon-hee was getting treated.

HEART PAIN

VOMITING AND DIARRHEA

SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES

LOWER BACK PAIN

JAUNDICE

Exclude the patient with lower back pain, since he could not move.

EXCLUDED

The patient with heart pain is over 70 years old,

so he probably cannot shoot an arrow.

The rest cannot move by themselves or are children.

Then,

we only have one person left.

I think I know him.

Wait, this is…

Red plum blossoms.

I will explain everything to Mother, so just focus on getting well.

He does have a red plum blossom

on him.

Mr. Seo is probably running around trying to find the evidence.

If somebody finds out,

I will be beheaded.

You need to be more ambitious than that

to hold a position as a government official.

Do you not know who Councilor Cho is?

Even if you committed high treason

instead of murder,

he could make sure that you get pardoned.

So, even if you happen to get caught,

you will score a position in the government

if you just keep your mouth shut.

Yes, Mr. Im.

What is this, sir?

This is the evidence

that you are so scared of.

It is the appeal that Mr. Choi

and those scholars were trying to submit.

Those insolent bastards

were planning on writing both of our names on there.

But I know everything that goes on in Sorak.

I cannot bother Councilor Cho because of some stupid martens.

Of course, Mr. Im. I completely agree.

Then, about my position…

Councilor Cho will take care of it.

Burn it to ashes.

And make sure to keep bringing me

the martens caught in Sorak.

I will make sure that they make their way to Councilor Cho.

My goodness.

But we do not have enough evidence.

They will not arrest him because of what Yeon-hee says.

Lady Eun-woo just found the evidence.

It is the piece of an arrowhead found in Mr. Choi's body.

We just need to find the rest of it.

There is no way that he still has that arrow.

You did not

do anything that might be traced back to you, did you?

Not at all.

Mr. Im.

If you want everything to go according to plan,

then you need to stop my sister-in-law.

What are you talking about?

She is the one who solved the Nine-Tailed Fox case last year.

She does not know her place as a widow.

Even now, she is going around looking for evidence.

Right. Mr. Seo is one of your in-laws.

How unfortunate.

What would you like me to do?

What is it, Mr. Im?

As a high government official

of Sorak County,

I will not put up with any more of this disorderly conduct.

What on earth do you mean?

I am talking about your daughter.

Does she think that being a widow is something to be proud of?

She ran away from her in-laws under the excuse of an illness,

and now she is mingling with men.

It is unsightly and dishonorable.

I apologize. As soon as Eun-woo gets better…

The person who is truly ill here is Madam Noh of the Chungseong Lee family.

Would you not agree?

I am presuming that you are letting her do whatever she wants

because you favor her as your own daughter.

On top of that, you did not even conclude the Nine-Tailed Fox case properly,

leading to the deaths of two men.

Therefore, if you do not send your daughter back to her in-laws,

I will report you to the King's Court

for dereliction of duty and disorderly conduct.

What will you do?

I shall go back to my in-laws,

so stop this right now.

Eun-woo.

Just look at this.

You have got a woman walking around in here.

So you are getting nothing done.

You better watch yourselves.

Are you sure?

I was planning on going back once I got better anyway.

Do not blame yourself.

Lady Eun-woo is really something else.

I cannot believe she will go back to live with a man like that.

I saw in the patient records that you examined

Lady Eun-woo's in-laws as well.

Is that right?

Then you must have known.

What, you idiot?

Would you spill all of your patients' secrets?

That is not what I mean.

Lady Eun-woo is suffering so much.

I told you not to get nosy about other people's business.

If you thoughtlessly mess with an illness, it will only get worse.

Wait for the right time.

Jeez.

I want you to show your dedication

by doing the ceremony all by yourself.

If a husband dies, a woman should be

mourning his death for at least three years.

No matter how immature you are,

you should be the one to hold your husband's ceremony.

My goodness.

You should go inside now, Mother.

Madam, you have a visitor.

Eun-woo.

What are you looking for now?

You know, going around and being nosy

is a bad habit. You should fix it.

Well,

did you find what you were looking for?

Yes,

I did.

But, if I am being honest,

I did not even have to look.

I have the appeal

that Mr. Choi kept hidden away.

The name of those who stole the tributes is written here very clearly.

You are lying.

Why do you think I am lying?

Is it because you have gotten rid of it?

This is a piece of an arrowhead that came from Mr. Choi's body.

I found the rest of the arrowhead in this house.

How dare a woman like you look through our ancestral shrine?

If I kill you,

nobody will find out what I have done.

You are scared, are you not?

According to federal laws,

you will be hanged for murder at the very least.

What a shame.

You can go and be with your husband now.

"On the day of her husband's memorial ceremony,

the widow took her own life."

Is it not beautiful?

Now, die.

Let go of her.

Lady Eun-woo.

Arrest him.

Yes, sir.

How dare you…

Listen closely.

You killed innocent scholars to cover up your corruption

and even tried to kill an innocent girl.

You cannot do this to me.

I did not do anything.

"Did not do anything"?

Here is the irrefutable evidence.

You are the one who said that you hid this in the ancestral shine.

This is a piece of an arrowhead that came from Mr. Choi's body.

I found the rest of the arrowhead in this house.

How dare a woman like you look through our ancestral shrine?

You dared to lie to me?

After all I have done for you?

Stay still and stop flopping about.

Did you just realize that?

This is a fake.

We were all preoccupied with the knife.

However,

the real weapon was the bow.

You lured the victim out onto the path

that Yeon-hee usually takes when she sleepwalks.

But Yeon-hee saw you.

She must have remembered the arrow flying from the tree

as a shooting star, as the moonlight reflected off of it.

She witnessed you taking out the liver,

making it look like it was the Nine-Tailed Fox.

-Drag him away. -I will do it.

Get up.

Mother.

-Mother! -Ho-jun!

-Ho-jun! -Mother!

Ho-jun!

Ho-jun!

You have taken both of my sons away from me now.

I have protected my family with my life.

How dare you ruin everything?

You have no shame.

You should die too.

I am going to kill you.

How dare you…

What a pathetic family.

Your son suffered from gastric cancer.

He had dysphagia

as well as bloody stool, and he was getting thinner by the day.

But you ignored the physician's prescription

and used talismans and rituals instead.

That is why he died.

But you put all of the blame on your poor daughter-in-law

and pressed her to kill herself.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You do not know anything.

You are just a lowly physician.

Even if I am just a lowly physician,

I care for my patients.

I will do anything

to save my patients.

-Where is she going? -What is she doing?

What is she doing?

How dare a woman bow at an ancestral memorial ceremony?

-What is she doing? -What has gotten into her?

I just bid my dead husband farewell.

And now,

I am cutting all of my ties with the Chungseong Lee family.

How dare…

That little…

I did not know.

I tried to tell myself that

it was not my fault that my husband had died,

but it slowly became my fault

because everybody was blaming me.

In the end, I began

to blame myself as well.

Why did they do it?

Why?

I suffered so much.

If I had known the truth,

I would not have felt so guilty.

It was not your fault, my lady.

So, you should live your own life now.

From now on,

they cannot mess with you anymore.

I will make sure of that, Eun-woo.

I did not mean to…

I apologize, my lady.

No.

You can call me by my name.

From now on, I want to live like the person I truly am

without caring about what other people think.

All right, Eun-woo.

I want to help other people

just like you, Mr. Yoo.

I am not sure how to get started, though.

How about you learn medicine

while staying at Gyesu Infirmary?

You have a warm heart, Eun-woo.

On top of that, you have the courage and intuition that I do not have.

I think you will make a great physician.

Do you really think I could do that?

You lost the court lady from the Royal Kitchen again?

If you are going to keep doing a crappy job,

then kill yourself right here and now.

I am sorry, Councilor Cho.

Have you already forgotten

that you almost ruined everything a year ago as well?

I will find the court lady, sir.

If I make a mistake again, then you can take my life.

Hurry up.

If the king finds her first, then it will be over for us.

-Madam! -Madam!

Madam!

Can you hear me? What on earth happened?

Wake up.

There is a court lady

who was involved in your father's death.

Your Majesty.

She has passed.

This never happened.

I do not want anybody to speak a word about this.

Arrange a funeral for her in private, and move her body to the ice house.

I will look into this personally.

Yeon-hee was released safely

thanks to you two.

Is this the grave for Yeon-hee's mother?

How did you know?

A physician does not only look at the symptoms.

It is also the job of a physician to carefully study a patient

and find out the cause

of the illness.

I think Yeon-hee started sleepwalking

because she missed her dead mother so much.

That is why she came here.

I had no idea.

Thank you, Mr. Yoo.

I will treat you, even if I have to read a whole library to do it.

Mr. Yoo made this for you.

This is my doll!

Why did you make that doll for her?

I think her father accidentally burned

the doll that her mother made for her before she died.

I see…

That is when she started to sleepwalk.

You are such a kind person, Mr. Yoo.

Why did you not give it to her yourself, though?

In the past,

I would have treated her with acupuncture.

But I can only give her a doll now. I felt bad.

You used a needle to make that doll,

so you used acupuncture to treat her, in a way.

I guess that is also true.

Were you behind the death of Mr. Choi and Mr. Min?

Not at all, sir.

Are you sure about that?

Yes, sir. Why are you accusing me of this?

I thought for a moment that you might have

arranged all of this in order to

get into Councilor Cho's favor.

But a smart man like you

would not have committed murder

without even talking to me, the adopted son of Councilor Cho.

Right?

Yes, sir. Of course.

I would never do something like that.

That is hot.

So,

you know that insolent young physician at Gyesu Infirmary?

I think he is from the Royal Infirmary.

Do you think that he is Yoo Se-yeop?

I am not sure, sir.

His name is

Poong, as far as I am aware.

-Poong? -Yes, sir. Poong.

Poong.

-Did Councilor Cho send this? -I do not know how to read, sir.

From now on, I want all of the letters

that are addressed to the Royal Inspector.

-Do you understand? -Yes, sir.

Now go.

Something is going on here.

The adopted son of Councilor Cho would not have come to Sorak

to look for a mere physician.

I am giving you the chance

to work for me.

And why should I do that?

Why?

Because…

Yoo Se-yeop

is your name.

I heard that you killed the previous King.

You need somebody very powerful to protect you.

What are you doing?

No, you cannot.

It is wrong for a man to hold a woman's wrist.

I did not kill anybody.

Even if they torture you,

you cannot confess to something that you did not do.

Yes, Young Master.

Right now, Man-bok definitely looks like the perpetrator.

To save Man-bok…

I must become a proficient female physician.

It is time to catch the perpetrator.

I am also going to do whatever I have to do to find evidence.

The law is the law,

and I shall follow it.

A person's life depends on this.

I cannot give up now.
