(Kim Min Jae)

(Kim Hyang Gi)

(Kim Sang Kyung)

(Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist)

(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

- Yes!
- Hey, wait for us!

Eun Woo.

Sin Woo.

I heard the Second State Councilor adopted you.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing out this late?

And who is he?

Oh, he is a village physician.

A physician?

What is wrong? Are you unwell?

I am fine now.

She married into the Cheongsong Lee clan.

If someone were to see her out late with a man,

she could get into trouble.

So be very cautious.

What trouble could come of a physician accompanying a patient?

You could cause gossip!

If I were to ignore a patient for fear of gossip,

what a dreadful physician I would be.

I will get going, then.

How do you know the angry nobleman?

My father was once his teacher.

Were you offended?

If he spoke that way for you, out of concern, I do not mind.

Did you hear that?

Yes.

I must check what it was.

In person, you mean?

Physician Yoo. Did you just see that white thing fly by?

I am sure it was a wide animal.

It must have been.

There used to be white deer and white sable,

but they were hunted for the king and are now obsolete.

Was it... a ghost?

No, right?

If you care not for ghosts,

even they can cause you no harm.

Who said that?

Zhuangzi did, in one of his books.

Oh, I see.

I will escort you safely back to your father's office.

(Gyesoo Clinic)

Did they all starve to death?

(Episode 3)

Lady Namhae, you are back.

Who is this man with a healthy appetite?

He is the man who follows our dear Physician Yoo around.

Show me what you are hiding.

What? What am I hiding?

Ip Bun!

I told you so many times that jeon...

is all about its looks.

Take a large scoop and make it nice and round.

Nice and round. Ip Bun.

Come on.

Eat as much as you want.

Ip Bun, must you dirty your face while cooking?

She is here!

Come in and eat with us.

Join us!

My gosh, Lady Seo. Welcome.

Join us for some food.

It will taste quite good this time.

I see that the family has grown a lot while I was away.

Feed them well.

We all ate the food she cooked to survive, so we are nearly dying.

Father!

Gumiho is rumored to have returned last night,

so please stay safe.

- Rumors are already rampant.
- Gumiho?

Gumiho k*lled someone in Mount Sorak...

and took the liver again.

The same gumiho from last year?

But I thought they had already caught the culprit.

Another m*rder has occurred.

Chil Sung actually stopped by early in the morning...

to tell me they needed help with the autopsy.

I have to send someone.

Yes! You, dunce. You should go.

You cannot even administer acupuncture anyway.

A physician's job differs...

from that of a pathologist's and prosecutor's.

Why must I go there?

They do not send pathologists to a small rural village like this.

Local physicians are expected to help out!

Yes, I understand.

Lady Seo.

Were you working on the farm early in the morning?

My gosh.

You are eating faster and more than he is.

Oh, this hurts my pride.

When it comes to eating, I have never let anyone beat me.

When I am thinking about something,

I eat nonstop.

This is very delicious.

Are you still bothered by what you saw in the woods last night?

Yes, a similar case took place last year.

It was a m*rder made to look as if a gumiho had k*lled the victim.

But earlier, they said the culprit had already been caught.

Yes, already caught and punished.

That is the problem.

People might accuse my father of a faulty investigation.

I am certain that he will be in a pickle.

By the way, how come you know so much about it?

Oh.

As a maiden, I used to assist at the Autopsy Office.

Is that so? You personally examined bodies?

Then please come with me.

You must remember the details of the investigation.

But if I go to the office,

people may gossip.

I am certain that it will help the district governor.

I am aware that you know a lot about the case,

but you cannot be seen here.

Take a quick look and leave.

Yes.

Physician Yoo, you need to see this.

Oh, dear.

This is different from last year's case.

Both corpses are missing their livers.

But last year, the wound was a straight line.

And the cut was not caused by a sharp edge.

The culprit was a woodcutter.

He used his ax to k*ll the victim,

and the edges looked rugged because of the dull blade.

Then do you think this is another m*rder...

made to look like a gumiho incident?

Yes. This was not done on impulse.

I believe it was planned thoroughly in advance.

The culprit is highly intelligent and knowledgeable.

It must be someone who harbors a grudge against you or the victim.

I am truly impressed, Lady Seo.

Have you managed to identify the victim yet?

There is no identification tag, and the face has been damaged.

I believe it will take some time.

The type of knife that butchers use...

was found near the body.

The constables are searching the village to find the owner.

Sir, we have a problem.

The royal inspector from Hanyang is here.

And...

Commander Im is here too.

If Commander Im finds out that you are here,

he will not let it slide.

Prepare for a meeting.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, seriously! Move!

Governor Seo, are you here?

I am coming in.

This is where we perform autopsies.

You cannot come in here.

Another gumiho incident has occurred.

It means that the person you caught was not the real culprit.

You did a terrible job with the investigation,

so you should not be in charge of this case.

Please come in.

Sin Woo.

How dare you. He is the royal inspector...

who is here on His Majesty's orders.

Be polite!

I am here as a royal inspector.

An incident took place before I could formally introduce myself,

so let us skip the formalities.

Please give me access to all the records.

I will.

The corpse is here,

so let us leave this room.

After you.

By the way, why did you...

hide?

I wonder too.

Why was the knife left at the scene when it was the m*rder weapon?

Was it a mistake?

It is suspicious that the knife looks barely used.

How have you been?

My sister-in-law.

What brings you here?

Oh, I happened to be just walking by.

My brother's memorial ceremony is around the corner.

I suppose you are still not well enough yet.

I will explain your situation to Mother.

Please focus on your recovery.

I will do my best to treat her.

Let us go.

How come this is all you have?

We lost most of the investigation records in a fire...

while transporting them, so that is all we have left.

What a mess.

In any case, we have a new case now.

Hence, the man you caught last year, Kim Dol Seok,

is innocent. Am I wrong?

We cannot assume that this is the same case.

We are still investigating it.

Governor, I am appalled...

that you did such a clumsy job with the investigation.

All is well with the Second State Councilor, right?

Wherever I am and whatever I do,

I always wish him good fortune.

I need you to visit your hometown for a short while.

Is there something you need me to do?

Go there...

and find the man named Yoo Se Yeob.

Let me know when you find him.

And just watch him.

I need you to find someone for me.

Sure thing.

Just tell me who it is. I will go now and...

Yoo Se Yeob.

Age, 27.

A former physician in the Medical Office.

People call him the Divine Needle because of his acupuncture skills.

Would that be enough for you to find him?

I know this village...

like the back of my hand. I even know how many dogs...

each household owns.

I will look into it immediately.

The faster, the better.

Understood.

Hey, keep to the left!

Goodness. I should be riding in a palanquin with gold rims.

That would look much better.

He is not the Second State Councilor's real son.

He is an adopted son,

yet he is still so arrogant.

No, I should not say that.

If I wish to use this to my advantage,

I should fawn over him.

Keep to the right!

You fools. Get a grip!

My goodness.

Take me to Gyesoo Clinic first!

- Gosh.
- What is all this?

Hey, move.

- Oh, Physician Gye is here.
- My gosh!

Everyone, form a line!

- Hello, Physician Gye.
- Women on this side.

If you are injured, stand over here!

- My gosh.
- Where is everyone?

- Jang g*n!
- I am in so much pain.

Ip Bun!

- My gosh.
- Good grief.

My stomach...

Oh, gosh.

Darn it.

What do you think you are doing?

I am treating the patient with garlic moxibustion.

As if I did not know that.

This treatment takes days...

and a number of physicians to complete.

We do not have time for this!

Anyone persistent enough can manage it alone.

That was the first batch. Two more and...

Are you willing to stay up all night?

Am I supposed to see all those patients myself?

Ip Bun, clean this up!

Father, Physician Yoo is trying to be helpful...

by performing treatments other than acupuncture.

We should be supportive.

You have both lost your mind.

I will treat him with acupuncture, so clean this mess!

Like I said, he needs two more batches.

Please have patience.

What has gotten into you?

Is this your idea of a rebellion?

All he has is an upset stomach.

Why are you wasting time on him when all he needs is acupuncture?

As you know, acupuncture is not an option for me.

In order to eliminate the cause of his illness,

I am meticulously looking into his condition.

All right, fine. Say that I agree with you for now.

What is with this prescription? This is not the Medical Office.

Our patients are not government officials.

Musk, agilawood, burdock, deer antlers,

a rhinoceros' horn, among others.

Is this your idea of a joke?

These medicinal ingredients and expensive herbs.

And loranthaceae is hard to obtain!

Jang g*n and Man Bok went to collect them.

From this moment on, I will gather all I know...

from medical texts and treat my patients.

Why you...

Move!

What is this ruckus?

Has a fire erupted at this house?

You there. Gye Ji Han.

The crackpot is still in the business of curing the sick.

Halt!

How dare you crawl in here.

I walked in here rather than crawling.

This land of good value...

is home to a tattered clinic.

If I was put in charge,

I would have built a chateau grander than the one over there.

You and your mindless words. Get off the property!

Not so fast.

I heard that the clinic welcomed a new physician.

Is that him?

Mind your own business and leave!

If you cannot perform acupuncture, be good at bringing in business.

Do something that will benefit the clinic.

I will try.

You will try?

Move!

- You... Move.
- Father, please.

Let go of me, darn it.

Let go!

A physician who cannot perform acupuncture?

- Move!
- Poong!

- You...
- Leave my Poong alone.

- Poong?
- Granny!

- Leave my Poong alone.
- Move.

- Stop this.
- This requires more time.

- You three...
- I guess it cannot be him.

Where did he find a useless dunce like him?

Let go!

Of course everything you do is below average.

- Goodness.
- Ji Han, stop!

Why do you think...

that Physician Gye seeks out wealthy patients...

and has them pay the full price for their treatments?

Well...

Probably to fund his drinking habits.

Three napa cabbages, five radishes,

two fishes, and one zucchini.

What are these?

This is what he made by seeing patients today...

as there were not any from noble families.

Physician Gye is the Robin Hood of this village.

He only receives payment from noble families, you see.

Patients left these behind as a token of their appreciation.

What did you tuck away in a hurry?

What? Nothing, of course.

What do you mean it is nothing?

("Forensic Medicine")

"Forensic Medicine"?

Right.

So this book is about...

When one is strangled...

compared to when one hangs himself,

the mark left on the neck is different.

Right, of course.

In "Forensic Medicine,"

such findings are described in detail.

Is it not scary to read this at this late hour?

I am used to it...

thanks to the autopsies...

I have performed since a young age.

I noticed this the other day,

but you are not scared easily.

As for me, the sight of dead bodies...

All you have to do is cure the living.

I am afraid that has not been a specialty of mine these days.

- It is the Gumiho.
- The Gumiho is here.

- The Gumiho.
- It is the Gumiho!

- Please.
- Help!

- Run!
- Run from the Gumiho.

- Come on.
- Run, everyone!

- Keep going.
- Run.

- It is the Gumiho.
- Keep running.

- I saw it.
- It k*lled again.

It is the Gumiho and it has k*lled yet again.

Who are you? Identify yourself.

After questioning those at the market,

we confirmed it with his family.

He has been identified as Deputy Magistrate Choi Yoon.

He was also reported missing.

And this man is scholar Min Yu Kyum, one of Choi Yoon's pupils.

He frequently came by the clinic.

Here is where I stitched him up last year.

The pupil of a deputy magistrate?

These killings seem intentional to me.

But the k*ller was apprehended at the scene.

How could a young girl have k*lled a man twice her size?

Lady Seo is correct.

The girl's name is Yeon Hee,

and she is the daughter of a single father who is a butcher.

She has an illness.

She does not have it in her to k*ll anyone.

An illness?

Yes, sleepwalking.

Those who suffer from it...

walk around in their sleep and are unaware of it the next day.

Even if what you say is true, the knife found at the scene...

is one used by butchers. The evidence says it all.

You yourself said she is the daughter of one.

Are you the one known as Gumiho?

Why you... How dare you keep silent.

Answer him immediately!

I... Well, I...

Answer me.

Are you the one known as Gumiho?

I...

Yes, it seems as though I am, my lord.

You will be admitting to m*rder.

Carefully rethink your answer.

k*lling him was not my intention.

However,

I think it was I who k*lled him.

With your fragile build?

How could you have k*lled two men twice your size?

That I do not remember.

We have enough witnesses who saw you wandering...

around Sorak Pass at night.

Speak the truth!

This knife.

Does it not belong to your father?

Speak the truth!

Yeon Hee.

How dare she.

Please come to.

The commotion outside had her...

asking for you.

Everything is all right now, so please get some sleep.

There was someone. A man.

Not anymore. You are safe.

Granny, stop gibbering now.

Physician Yoo is here, so please go to bed.

Right.

I am scared, Poong.

Go to sleep.

Then...

watch Granny for me.

For me.

Watch out.

Written prescriptions. We have 7,870.

Patient records. We have 18,082.

Well done.

Now let us put them in alphabetical order.

Okay.

Back when you cared for no one.

I preferred things much better then.

Even now, no physician has as much knowledge as I.

Why are you suddenly acting like this?

Why are you doing extra work for yourself?

I am testing myself to see if I should remain a physician.

It will take you days to read all 18,082 records.

Why not just shut your eyes and stab a needle?

Would I be doing this if it were that easy?

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you, Jang g*n.

Physician Gye prescribes tonics made with just one ingredient.

Correct.

Physician Gye often prescribes a tonic that contains...

just one or two herbs.

This will keep you up all night.

Why are you up working so late?

Shall I cook you a snack?

Not for us.

Oh, dear. We just had a lot of something to eat.

So we are full.

There was nothing to eat at all. What did you have?

We had...

- Sweet potatoes.
- Chestnuts.

- Chestnuts.
- Sweet...

You can cook...

A stupid mosquito does not know when it is not welcome.

You had a long day assisting me.

You should get some rest.

Okay.

Hey, you!

I sent you ahead to look after Granny.

What are you wasting your time on now?

You said the girl was your patient.

She is a sleepwalker?

Yes.

She walks about at night because of her illness.

And that makes her look guilty.

The investigation is a load of nonsense.

Is there nothing we can do?

We are not utterly out of options.

We might lose her.

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee.

I must take her to the clinic.

You cannot.

She is a suspect in two murders who was caught red-handed.

It is just a symptom of her sleepwalking.

She should be treated,

not framed for m*rder.

You dare try to lecture me when you are...

merely a village physician?

I once worked at the Medical Office.

Did you not follow her this far because you yourself...

did not believe she could have k*lled two grown men?

However, the law still stands.

This girl should be taken back to her cell.

Oh, Royal Inspector, sir!

Did this fool cause you trouble?

Revealing the truth is...

Silence.

My dunce of an apprentice has no idea how the world works.

That is fine.

You truly are a man of great spirit.

And generous.

In that case...

If you must lock up Yeon Hee,

would you let me visit and treat her sporadically?

I cannot allow a criminal such a luxury.

Do not assume she is a...

Be quiet.

Yes, of course you are right, sir.

However,

based on my past examinations of her,

her heart is weak and liver and bowels stagnated.

A change in surroundings will sap her energy,

and it could threaten her life.

If she were to die even before you determined her guilt,

would that not make you look so dreadfully bad?

Is her health really that dire?

Yes, it is. Please allow me just 15 minutes a day...

to look in on and examine her.

(Pediatrics, Gynecology, External, Internal)

Physician Gye!

Please help me.

Please save my Yeon Hee.

Get off your knees and sit down.

I meant to come and see you.

People think she is Gumiho.

You must be so flustered.

You said that the way...

she walked about at night...

was because she had a sickness.

Yes. She is sick.

She did not commit a crime.

Will you please tell the district governor that?

How could my Yeon Hee k*ll two men?

Physician Gye told you many times...

to lock her door at night because of her illness.

Why did you not that night?

That is what is driving me crazy.

It just so happened...

that her door got unlocked just that night.

It got unlocked just that night?

Did you not happen to lose a bleeding knife?

No, I did not.

I slaughter pigs for a living.

I could not do my job without my knives.

Okay.

I understand.

Do not cause a scene here. Go home.

I will help as best I can.

Get up and go home.

Could you speak to Yeon Hee?

She could have seen something.

You.

Do not try to do anything pointless.

Fine. You want me to focus on doing what will make us money.

As if you would do as I say.

I will make money as that is my specialty.

Do not disturb me.

Find a medical textbook we can use to save Yeon Hee.

You are not allowed to do anything else.

Fine.

Yeon Hee, what did you do after you arrived at the forest?

I do not remember.

You said you saw me leave.

You left and ran toward the mountains.

Do you have no recollection of that either?

Be quiet, will you? My liver nearly popped out of my chest.

Well, if that happens,

Gumiho will happily come and collect your liver.

Anyway, why are you chopping firewood? It is not winter now.

Well, I am just trying to earn my keep.

I am not so shameless after all, you see.

If you want to earn your keep, go cut every tree in Mount Sorak.

My gosh!

Look at you two fooling around.

Jang g*n! What is the matter?

What is wrong? Are you okay?

Why? Did someone make fun of you again?

Who is it? I will beat them up to a pulp.

I will shred them to pieces.

(Deceased)

Is Lord Choi Yoon truly deceased?

Oh, you poor thing. That is why you are so sad.

Every time he was here, he adored you like his own grandson.

The sables in Mount Sorak.

He said he would take me there and show me again.

He said we would go see sables together next time.

Is that true?

He promised to show you the sables?

He said...

we would be able to see sables playing all over the mountain...

if we caught...

the bad people who had hunted them.

But now...

I am sleepy,

but I am so scared.

Do not worry. Just sleep.

You took the herbal tonic and received acupuncture too,

so you will be fine.

Darn it. Maybe the real culprit is someone else.

Yes, it is someone else.

I found out that Deputy Magistrate Choi...

was after people...

who poached sables and deer that were meant for the King.

I checked the record that he had reported to the royal court.

Then do you know who those people are?

No, not yet.

I believe he was m*rder*d right before he could uncover the truth.

Oh, dear. They stole such rare animals...

that should have been sent to the palace.

If they sold those, they could easily buy several houses.

How brazen.

Yes. It was certainly done with bad intentions.

I swear, it was not Yeon Hee.

A goblin! I saw a goblin!

- Yeon Hee.
- A goblin!

Yeon Hee, get up.

A goblin holding a knife.

The goblin...

shot a star down from a tree.

I am so scared.

I am terrified.

What does that mean?

Yeon Hee...

Yeon Hee must have seen the culprit.

Thank you.

Yeon Hee.

What did the goblin look like?

Apricot blossom.

A red apricot flower.

What does that mean?

She definitely saw something.

I should visit the scene again.

Okay, hurry.

I will tidy up here.

The corpse was found here.

A goblin shot a star down from a tree?

That tree is too far.

I mean, to stab someone.

We were fixated on the knife, and that was a mistake.

The culprit left the knife there on purpose.

The victim was shot with an arrow.

Then there must be traces left on the body.

Yes, you are right.

This is it.

Right here.

The arrow.

It is the willow leaf arrow.

The arrowhead hit the bone and broke.

And it was left in the body.

Then someone shot him with an arrow from a tree,

concealed the arrow,

and intentionally left the knife at the scene.

Correct. Based on the depth of the wound and the distance...

A heavy bow was used.

It was not a hunter.

It is a military test strength bow.

How do you know all this?

The patient records.

I must view the patient records.

Here, drink up.

Jang g*n. You remember the day when Yeon Hee was here, right?

Can you find the records of the patients who were here that day?

Yes, easy-peasy.

Vomiting and diarrhea, age 17.

Coughing, age 46.

Age 20, fell from a tree. Lumbar pain.

Alcoholic jaundice, age 35.

They were all here on the same day.

Jang g*n...

picked out these patients because he had memorized all of them?

Only Jang g*n can do this.

Thank you.

Jang g*n is even smarter than my young master.

Yeon Hee is not the culprit.

However, the incidents only occurred...

on the nights when she was out sleepwalking.

Do you think it was a coincidence?

Do not ask us. Get straight to the point.

Someone who knew that she often sleepwalked...

framed her so they could get away with it.

Yes, exactly.

Who knows about her condition?

Yeon Hee's father is her only family.

So aside from us, her father is the only person who knows.

Then the culprit must be one of the patients...

who were here on the day you treated her.

You have a loud voice, so someone must have heard you.

The door must be locked from the outside. Do you understand?

You are saying something that makes sense, for a change.

My young master is incredibly smart.

These are the records of the patients...

who were here on the same day.

(Chest pain, age 73)

(Vomiting and diarrhea, age 17)

(Coughing, age 46)

(Lumbar pain, age 20)

(Alcoholic jaundice, age 35)

Mr. Lumbar Pain.

He cannot have done it since he can barely move.

(Ruled out)

The one with chest pain is over 70.

He lacks the strength to sh**t an arrow.

The other two cannot move without the help of another,

and one is a child.

Then,

that leaves us with one person.

He is someone we know.

This man.

A red apricot flower.

I will explain your situation to Mother.

- Please focus on your recovery.
- His scar does look...

like an apricot flower.

District Governor Seo must be frantically searching for evidence.

What if I get caught?

Would I not be served capital punishment?

A true man should be more audacious.

How else do you expect to be in office?

Do you know who the Second State Councilor is?

Even if you were charged with treason and not m*rder,

he would be able to have you released.

In the event that you are caught,

all you need to do is keep your mouth shut.

Do so,

and you will be given a rank, not be painted as a k*ller.

Yes, my lord.

What could this be?

It is the piece of evidence...

you have been so afraid of.

(Appeal)

It is the appeal that would have been served...

by the arrogant Choi Yoon and his pupils.

How dare they.

Apparently, they had written both our names in there.

Sorak Village is in my hands, is it not?

Who cares if I caught a few martens?

Anyway, I could not inconvenience the Second State Councilor.

Of course, my lord.

What would this mean for my place among the ranks?

The Second State Councilor will bestow you with one when he can.

Now, let the appeal burn.

And continue...

to bring me all the martens caught in Sorak Village.

I will have them secretly served to the Second State Councilor.

Gosh.

How sweet

Our evidence is insufficient.

Yeon Hee's words are not enough to arrest him.

I found that evidence earlier.

The fragment of the arrow found in Deputy Magistrate Choi's body.

All we need is the arrow itself.

As if he would still have it lying around.

I hope...

you did not do anything that could lead the investigation back to you.

Of course not.

My lord,

in order for this deal to be neatly wrapped up,

my sister-in-law must be taken care of.

What are you talking about?

She is the one who solved the Gumiho case...

last year.

She is highly audacious for a woman of nobility.

Even now, she has been digging for evidence regarding the case.

District Governor Seo is your sister-in-law's father.

An in-law that is worse than your nemesis.

What do you need me to do?

Commander Im.

What is it this time?

I, Im Soon Man,

as the commander of the town hall,

cannot allow the people to have corrupt morals.

What are you speaking of?

Your daughter, Lord Seo.

Being a widow is nothing to be proud of.

She feigned her illness, left her husband's home,

and has been frolicking with random men.

Our traditions and customs are at risk of demoralization.

I apologize.

Once she regains her health...

The one who is currently ill is actually her mother-in-law!

Do you not agree?

Your daughter only does as she pleases...

because you have adapted the rules for her.

On top of that,

you failed to solve the Gumiho case in a timely fashion...

which led to the death of two people.

If you do not send your daughter back to her mother-in-law,

I will report you to the royal court...

for dereliction of duty and corruption of morals.

What will it be?

I will return to my late husband's home,

so please let this rest.

Eun Woo.

Look here!

How can proper work be done at the office...

when you have a woman wandering the grounds?

You ought to behave.

Are you sure you will be all right?

I was going to return once I recovered.

You are not the reason I am heading back there.

Lady Seo sure is admirable.

How could she return to the home of a m*rder*r?

According to your records,

members of her husband's family came by the clinic.

Am I right?

Then...

You knew.

Know what?

Do you go around telling your patients' secrets?

This is not the same.

You know how rough Lady Seo's life is.

And you were told to mind your own business.

Hastily treating symptoms can worsen patients' conditions.

We must await the right moment.

At least for today,

you will put in the effort of holding the rite alone.

A woman should have the decency...

to mourn for at least three years after her husband passes.

Even the most reckless wife...

should show respect by cooking the food herself!

Mother, you should head back inside.

My lady, you have a visitor.

Eun Woo.

What are you looking for?

You should get rid of that habit...

of digging into other people's businesses.

So,

did you find what you were looking for?

Yes.

I found it.

But the truth is, I did not even have to look.

I found the deputy magistrate's letter of appeal you had hidden.

It mentions the names of the men who have stolen from the king.

Do not lie.

Why do you think I am lying?

Because you destroyed it already? Is that it?

I found an arrow tip in the deputy magistrate's body.

I found the corresponding piece in this house.

How dare a wench search the shrine?

If you die,

no one will be left to condemn me.

You are afraid, are you not?

The Ming Code says...

punishment for m*rder is execution at least. Too bad.

You...

I will send you to be with your husband.

On her husband's death anniversary,

the loyal widow takes her own life.

Is that not a beautiful story?

Die.

Let go of her!

Eun Woo.

Tie him up immediately.

Yes, sir.

You fool!

To cover up your crimes, you k*lled honest men...

and almost k*lled an innocent child.

Why are you blaming me?

This is unfair.

It is unfair?

When we have such clear proof?

You said yourself that you had hidden it in the shrine!

I found an arrow tip.

I found the corresponding piece in this house.

How dare a wench search the shrine?

You dare trick me?

Do you think I will give in to you?

Keep still. You move too much.

Now do you get it?

This was a fake.

Everyone focused on the blade.

But the real m*rder weapon was a bow and arrow.

To use her illness against her,

the victims were lured to the path Yeon Hee took.

But Yeon Hee saw...

the arrow take flight from a tree.

It reflected the moonlight and looked like a sh**ting star.

She saw the k*ller take out the liver...

to pretend to be Gumiho.

Take him away.

Let me do that.

Get up.

Mother!

h* Joon!

h* Joon!

h* Joon!

You evil wench. You took both my sons from me.

I dedicated my life to preserving the Cheongsong Lee clan.

You ruined it all.

How dare you?

Why are you still alive?

I will just...

What a lame, pathetic family yours is.

Your eldest son had stomach cancer.

He shriveled away,

because he vomited, could not eat, and had blood in his stools,

and yet you ignored the physician's advice...

and paid shamans for talismans.

That is why your son died!

And you blamed your daughter-in-law and demanded...

she take her own life.

Are you not ashamed?

You do not know enough to speak like that.

You are but a lowly physician!

Even a lowly physician...

has the heart to save patients.

If it is to save my patient,

I will do anything.

Where is she going? What will she do?

Look at her.

What is she doing?

- How dare she...
- A woman...

A woman should know better than to bow at a memorial tablet.

What is she going to do?

Should we stop her?

I prayed one last time that my husband would rest in peace.

As of now,

I cut my ties with the Cheongsong Lee clan.

Where...

How dare...

Where...

I did not know.

I tried to tell myself my husband's death...

was not my fault.

But everyone blamed me,

and it became a fact.

Eventually, even I...

blamed myself.

Why was that?

Why blame me?

I had such a hard time.

If I had known,

I would not have blamed myself so.

It is not your fault.

So now, live your own life.

They will not be able to interfere with your life.

I will see to that, Eun Woo.

I just blurted that out.

I apologize, my lady.

No.

Please call me like that. Call me by my first name.

I am done worrying about what others might think.

From now on, I wish to live as Eun Woo.

Well understood, Eun Woo.

From now on, I wish...

to devote my life to helping others like you are doing.

Although I am not sure what exactly I should do.

Then,

how about you stay at Gyesoo Clinic...

and study to be a physician?

You have a warm heart.

On top of that, you are brave and quick-witted unlike me.

I am certain that you will be a great physician.

Can I...

really do that?

You lost another court maid from the Royal Kitchen?

If you make mistakes like this every single time,

just take your own life before me right here and now.

Please forgive me, my lord.

Even a year ago,

you nearly ruined my plan. Have you forgotten all about it?

I will find that court maid at all costs.

If I make another mistake, I will pay with my life.

Hurry.

If the King finds her first,

we are all doomed.

- No!
- My lady!

My lady!

What happened?

Wake up. How did this happen?

Open your eyes!

There is a court maid...

who was involved in the death of the former King.

Your Majesty, she is dead.

Cover her.

This must not get out.

Hold a funeral for her in secret...

and move the body to Seobinggo.

I will launch a separate investigation.

Yeon Hee was released safe and sound thanks to the two of you.

Is this the grave of Yeon Hee's mother?

How did you know?

A physician does not only look at ailments.

"Seek, smell, ask, and pulse."

It is also a physician's job...

to observe carefully to figure out the root causes...

of the ailments.

Yeon Hee started sleepwalking because she missed her late mother.

That is why she has been coming here.

Oh, I see.

I had no idea.

Thank you, Physician Yoo.

I will read every medical textbook that exists...

to cure you.

Physician Yoo made this for you.

My doll!

My gosh, thank you.

How did you come up with the idea of making a doll for her?

Yeon Hee's mother made a doll for her before she passed away.

But her father burned it by mistake.

Oh, no.

That was when the sleepwalking began.

You are very sweet.

But how come you were hesitant to give it to her yourself?

In the past,

I could have used acupuncture to treat her.

So I felt bad that the only thing I could do was give her a doll.

Acupuncture uses a needle too.

So in a way, we could say that you used acupuncture to treat her.

Yes, I suppose.

Were you behind the "gumiho" incidents...

that k*lled Choi Yoon and Min Yu Kyum?

No.

Are you telling me the truth?

Of course, sir. How could you doubt my word?

For a moment, I wondered if you had cooked up such a ruse...

to impress the Second State Councilor.

I did suspect you for a moment.

However, you clearly know how to flatter others and pull strings.

Knowing that I am the Second State Councilor's adopted son,

you would not have taken lives without consulting me first.

That is the conclusion I have reached.

Yes, of course.

Well...

How could I do such a thing?

Gosh. Darn it.

Oh, right.

About the arrogant young physician at Gyesoo Clinic.

I heard he used to work in the Medical Office.

Could he be Yoo Se Yeob?

Well, I am not sure.

I heard his name was Poong.

Poong?

Yes, Poong.

Poong...

Hurry.

Is this from the Second State Councilor?

I cannot read.

Bring me all the letters...

that were sent to the royal inspector.

Do you understand?

Yes, my lord.

You may leave.

There is definitely something else.

Why would he come all the way here to find a physician?

He is the Second State Councilor's son after all.

I will grant you the opportunity to serve me.

Why would I agree to that?

Why?

Because...

your name is Yoo Se Yeob.

That is who you are.

From what I hear, you m*rder*d the late King.

You are in need of someone high up to look out for you.

What are you doing here?

You cannot.

Only a husband should be able to grab a lady's hand.

I did not k*ll anyone.

Do not falsely admit to committing the crime...

just to break free from the t*rture.

I will not Young Master.

All the evidence points to Man Bok as the culprit.

In order to prove Man Bok's innocence,

I must become a master physician.

Let us catch the real culprit.

I will do whatever I can to find the evidence we need.

The law is the law.

I will follow the legal process.

A man's life is at stake!

And I refuse to give up.
