"Breathe out." "Breathe in." "Episode 18" "I am making an incision in the abdomen without anesthetic." "Also... the surgery has to be done within 10 minutes." "Please bite into this." "Doctor Jin?" "Yes?" "Even if something were to happen to me, you must save my baby." "Madame, you will be safe as well." "Please bite into this." "The caesarean section (C-section) surgery." "I am starting." "I have done many surgeries since I came to Joseon." "However, I was hoping that I would not have to do obstetrics and gynecology surgery." "It is because two lives are at jeopardy with one surgery." "I have to succeed." "I must." "Madame." "Please you must not let go of your senses." "Madame, please bear with it for little longer." "I have to proceed with it as quickly as possible before the patient loses her senses." "The Mother will not be able to withstand this for long time." "Because there is no time to waste, midline incision is made." "[Midline incision: a line which passes through the body perpendicularly from front to back]" "Skin, hypodermic fat," "I have to make incision to the linea alba in order." "[Linea alba: a fibrous structure that runs down tiphoid process to pubis at the midline of the abdomen]" "No matter what other people say, the Queen Dowager is my wife's aunt!" "I cannot betray that person." "Then... the King and I get kicked out and then" "Andong Kim family's world comes again." "Are you saying you are good with that?" "That action means you are loyal to Queen Dowager but betraying this country, Joseon." "What I am saying is do not bring up matters that I won't be able to handle!" "Your wife is enduring the flesh ripping suffering right now." "But you, until when are you going to just be afraid, Officer Lee?" "First, push down the bladder." "Incision is made at the lower half of the uterus over the entire surface." "To ensure not hurting the fetus, I have to make very thin incisions in many layered sections." "Just a little longer..bear it a little longer." "When the amniotic sac is visible through the incision, the envelope is pulled out." "And then the amniotic sac is ripped open with both hands." "Through the wide opening at the incision, insert my hands..." "Madame, the baby begins to show!" "Leave out the recognition and relationship behind, but as a scholar, ask yourself!" "Can you truly ignore this country that has fallen into ruin?" "Are you the only loyal subject?" "Do you think only you worry about this nation?" "More than anything else, think about the child that is about to be born!" "In 10 or 20 years, in Joseon that is still crawling with Left State Minister's people," "How the child will live..." "I cannot be burdened to think so far into the future." "Stop it here." "Officer Lee!" "I will help too." "Okay." "Oh." "Soon as the fetus is taken out, I will start the anesthesia." "I will put pressure on the area superior to the uterus." "The baby has to be taken out very quickly." "If the incision at the uterus rips, the blood vessel can be damaged so I need to be careful." "Madame, just a short while, just a while." "The baby has came out." "I will cut the umbilical cord." "But his arms and legs are limp!" "I think it's barely breathing as well." "The ends of his arms and legs are showing signs of hypoxic state." "No way." "Is the baby experiencing apnea?" "What are you doing?" "Hurry here!" "He cried!" "He cried, he cried!" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "I just did what I saw in the medical books." "You did well." "You did well." "Is it healthy?" "Yes." "He is healthy." "He is a very healthy boy." "First of all, we need to give an anaesthetic to the patient." "I will remove the placenta and then suture the incision at the uterus." "Do it." "Hurry." "Is it a son?" "Yes." "He's very handsome." "This little rascal." "I never seen such an unfilial child." "You must not let the baby get outside air for a long time." "Really?" "How did it go?" "She is still asleep from anesthesia." "Fortunately the suture is done well." "Thank you, Doctor Jin." "You saved my family." "Your wife did it." "She is an extremely courageous woman." "Also there is something you will need to do from now on." "Me?" "Yes!" "Apply poultice, cold water cloth, to your wife's abdomen, and keep the room cool." "Doesn't she need to sweat a lot?" "It's the exact opposite." "In order to stop the postpartum complications, the room has to be cool." "By applying cool compresses, it expedites the shrinking of the uterus." "I understand." "Wife." "You did well." "What are you doing here?" "Will you help me?" "So what are you telling me to do?" "You delivered Yi Gyo Ri's child." "If the words come from you," "Yi Gyo Ri will change his mind." "You want to threaten Yi Gyo Ri with his child?" "It's not a threat." "It's a negotiation." "For this country and me." "I'm sorry, but I can't abide by your request." "Elder." "Even if something were to happen to me," "I will not use your friendship." "That is the kind of friendship I know." "Doctor Jin!" "Oh my.." "look at me." "I..." "left a surgical needle in Yi Gyo Ri's wife." "It's right here." "Ah..." "Was it the anesthetic medication bottle then?" "Ah.." "I have that." "No.." "I left something there." "I'm sure I left something there." "I'll have to go and ask." "Ah..don't wait for me and you two go ahead." "Go, go." "Go." "But Doctor Huh, I have it" "Ah..go!" "Gwang." "Gwang." "(His name is Huh Gwang)" ""The monk cannot even cut his own hair." (He cannot take care of his own problem) Why the heck are you so meddlesome?" "I am so lonely." "This Huh Gwang!" "With whom can I return?" "No place to go." "I have no place to go." "I was very surprised by you today." "This was my first time dealing with postnatal care also." "I was little perplexed." "If the emergency care was delayed even a little, the baby would have suffocated." "You did very well." "You said it yourself." "That I had skills in medicine." "You're right." "I'm good at judging people." "I suddenly had this thought." "If I hadn't come to this place... and if I hadn't met you... then would you be living a normal and happy life right now." "Those kinds of thoughts." "Normal, yes." "But happy... probably." "Happy as somebody's wife." "Have you seen Major?" "I saw him momentarily in the palace." "He told me to become the best doctor in Joseon." "But when I think about it, it would be difficult as long as Doctor Jin is here." "No." "Even if you were born in a different world, you would've been an excellent doctor." "I told you." "I'm good at judging people." "You're right." "It seems like you're right." "Officer Lee's son was delivered safely." "It's probably due to Doctor Jin's help." "Prince Heung Seon probably took that opportunity and tried to persuade Lee Hyo Ri." "How did you know that, Sir?" "Do you always have to see to know what's going on in this world?" "Since Prince Heung Seon is surrounded by enemies on all sides, only Officer Lee can help him now." "He probably didn't get a good answer." "It looked like that." "If a street dog loses a bone..." "If an old cat falls off..." "We have nothing to lose." "This country will continue to flourish in my flower pot." "The momentum of how the leaves are extended appears messy to me." "You should attack Officer Lee." "If you seize and then interrogate him strictly, he will confess to the discussion of the heir." "Of course, we will have to get the confession before Left State Minister interferes." "Interrogate Queen Dowager's nephew-in-law...." "How would we handle the headwind?" "Is there a choice in this matter?" "Even with the fair wind, it is about to flip over in this condition." "We'll have to wait." "There will be a change in how the wind blows." "Go ahead and keep drawing the orchids." "I will grind the ink stick for you." "The eyes and the nose look just like yours, my lord." "I can't tell yet." "Please look closely." "Every inch of him looks exactly." "Wife..." "Prince Heung Seon wants me to join him." "If that happens, light will cease to shine in Queen Dowager's quarters." "So, what did you tell him?" "That I cannot forsake humanity, her kindness." "Is Prince Heung Seon's intention well meant?" "He said to change this country which is currently is Left State Minister's world and the treacherous court subjects." "This came to my mind." "When this child is all grown up, will he be able to take an attempt at the civil exam?" "Andong Kim's family or which family do I have to visit in order for me to buy a government position?" "Wife!" "I am a married woman. (In this era, married woman is considered stranger to her side of the family)" "I will follow you, my lord." "Thank you." "What a happy occasion, this early in the morning." "What brings you here?" "Your Highness," "Earlier during the previous King's reign, I learned that to discuss the heir to the throne is a serious crime that is included as a high treason." "Right now, what did you just say?" "Even if the highest elder of this country was momentarily tricked by a treacherous subject, even I can't just ignore this matter." "So, are you saying that you would punish me for high treason?" "That's a nonsense, Your Highness." "How can this subject accuse you who is the high-ranked elder?" "But if this matter is revealed to other subjects, it will cause a lot of petitions urging to dispose you, the Queen Dowager." "That's what I am afraid of." "So, as you would cover this up at this state," "I should just step down from the regency and stay as a powerless old lady?" "The son of Officer Lee is really cute." "You should be able to see his cuteness for a long time, Your Highness." "I think" "I wouldn't want to hold the son of my niece any longer." "Queen Dowager, please reconsider the loyal advice of the Prince Regent." "I don't want to hear that!" "Because of whom do you think you have enjoyed your position and power?" "Now, are you saying to reconsider?" "Why don't you leave." "Queen Dowager!" "I don't want to hear it." "I told you to leave!" "Your Excellency!" "The Queen Dowager is looking for you urgently." "Tell her to wait since I have an urgent matter to discuss with other subjects." "Maybe, not today, but tomorrow I will visit the Queen Dowager." "You can give her the message." "Yes." "Not any other person, but how could Officer Lee turn his back to the Queen Dowager?" "Prince Heung Seung..." "I don't know what he's up to..." "If Prince Heung Seon attacks us to see our cards by using Officer Lee, both sides would be in very dangerous situation." "I won't go for that kind of reckless move." "You're right." "But you must not be connected to the Queen Dowager any more." "She's already the sun which is setting." "The Queen Dowager got bitten by the dog she had raised." "It's not going to work out as we hoped for." "After eliminating the Queen Dowager, it's so obvious that he would immediately aim at us." "Watch Prince Heung Seung closely." "I will do that as you ordered." "Not today, but tomorrow!" "Did you tell him it was an urgent matter for sure?" "Yes, Your Highness." "It says that people swallow the thing if it's sweet and spit it out if it's bitter." "Now, is the Left State Minister trying to protect himself only?" "You bastard!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness, please calm down, Your Highness." "Your Highness!" "For a while, you need to rest." "And you might easily have an upset stomach, so it would be better to have soft food." "Doctor Jin." "Yes, Queen Dowager." "After I reached this age, every day, living itself is a curse." "You need to stay healthy." "Prince Heung Seon is a really scary person." "He kicked out the Left State Minister." "He will take over Joseon." "Even if you are just a doctor, I know you're very close to Prince Heung Seon." "Please help Prince Heung Seon to lead the country on the right path." "You need to help him, Your Highness." "What can I do." "I can only stay back and grow old quietly..." "I'm getting sleepy, I need to take a nap." "The Queen Dowager Jo was one of the key people who set King Gojong on the throne, and a political companion of Prince Heung Seon." "But like this, she faded out from the political core." "Therefore, I will lie down this old body and spend time to study the late kings' virtue." "All subjects, don't be sad about my decision, and be loyal for the Royal family and this country." "That is this old lady's last wish." "The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" " The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" " The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" "The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" " The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" " The Queen Dowager, Your Highness!" "The Prince Regent, Your Excellency!" "Congratulations." "To me?" "Now you don't have to go to the Queen Dowager's quarters and give your heartless flattery." "In old saying, a hunter kills his dog after finishing hunting, but in this case, the dog boiled the hunter." "Oh, this person..." "He's still the Prince Regent." "Watch your language." "Then, I'll congratulate you too, the Left State Minister." "There is the owner of the Grand Hall (meaning the King), but I heard a rumor that you're preparing another heir." "Once I heard that, I just ignored it." "Who spreaded that wrong rumor?" "He must be really cowardly." "Even if it's a wrong rumor, with fire, there must be some smoke." "Officer Lee." "Don't be bothered by that kind of rumor." "He's the Left State Minister of this country, so why would he commit that kind of high treason?" "People like me who has been in a high position for many years often become a subject of that kind of rumors." "It's a relief that Prince Heung Seon has a right ear to judge correctly about those rumors." "As you say it's a relief, it's a relief to me as well." "Let's go." "Left State Minister must be sharpening his knife hard." "Not more than me." "40 years.." "I have been sharpening my knife for 40 years." "Now I'm holding the knife, so I have to wield it." "Elder," "Sit down." "How is Queen Dowager?" "I heard she gained her energy a bit." "She's emotionally very tired." "Of course." "She worked too hard." "Don't you have any ambition, Sir?" "Didn't you push her away to keep the power?" "The important thing is what that ambition is for." "Am I trying to seize the power just to fill my stomach?" "Then, I wouldn't have done this!" "Read it." "Officer Hong (Young Hwi) got my secret order and investigated about the Confucian memorial halls." "We cannot leave it alone." "Elder, but this..." "Tell me, from what you learned about history, is it recorded as a succeeded policy?" "What?" "Since you wrote things on the letter you gave me, you don't want to say any more?" "It will succeed." "And the people in the country would support that too." "Of course." "I want to know that too." "But, this is too fast." "Much faster than what I know!" "Even if you read the same book, its tone could change, depending on each day." "But that doesn't mean the content of the book is changed." "Even if its timing is different from what you know, if the result would be successful, that's enough." "You can fail if you rush!" "You're naive." "Time is not on my side." "If I hesitate even a little at this moment, the Left State Minister will make a counterattack." "Before I get hit, I need to take the initiative!" "Do you remember our promise, Sir?" "Are you talking about Catholicism?" "Yes." "You're not even a follower." "Why are you worried about something that didn't even happen?" "There is someone I need to protect." "The lady of Prince Regent!" "My lady!" "Have you been well?" "Why haven't you come to the church these days?" "Because I was working at the Royal Clinic..." "I heard you became a doctor." "So, I came here to talk about something secretly." "Who came?" "Mother, she is the Princess Consort to the Prince Regent." "Oh my god." "What brought you here in this humble place?" "Please come inside." "No." "There's a patient who urgently needs to be seen." "Can she come with me?" "Is it alright?" "Of course." "Hurry up and go with her." "The Princess Consort to the Prince Regent..." "then she's the mother of the King!" "Young Rae's medical skill must be great, since the high-ranked lady personally came to find her." "Is he Priest Ridel, really?" "That's right." "Have you heard about him?" "Of course I know him." "He came to Joseon from the far away France to share the gospel of the God." "Any Christian would want to meet him." "On his way back to China, he must have been caught by the inspection of soldiers." "While he was escaping, the wound on his leg got worse, so now..." "The Church is not safe, and I couldn't bring him to the clinic, so for now, I brought him here." "I will need to bring some medicine from the infirmary." "You can't let anyone know that." "Yes." "Once you get the power, you will start to close many Confucian memorial halls in a large scale." "The scholars will oppose to that violently, but at the end, with the support from most commoners of Joseon, you will successfully close many Confucian memorial halls." "He's a doctor, but he's into this kind of fortune telling?" "You've been here?" "Ah, yes." "Is there something wrong?" "Miss..." "There's a patient, I think he has hematosepsis." "Hematosepsis?" "He has a high fever." "He's in critical a condition." "I don't know if he can get better with a prescription of Penicillin." "Doctor Jin, perhaps you can see him?" "Alright, can you go get him?" "What's wrong?" "Actually, he is a western Catholic priest." "Right, I think it is hematosepsis." "His condition is serious." "Then," "Let's see what happens after he gets treated with an injection of Penicillin." "Ah!" "What is that!" "It's an injection that has a medication." "Injection...?" "Medication...?" "You have to get this medication to get better." "No." "Don't touch me." "Don't do anything to my body." "Priest!" "I have never seen that medication even in my country." "Also, I can't trust a medication made by a Joseon doctor." "He's an excellent doctor." "He even has treated the King." "I have to go back to China." "We have our doctors there." "I think I can bear it until then." "If you leave it alone, the infection will get more severe, and you might even die!" "I'm fine." "I don't need a Joseon doctor." "Miss, you convince him and give him the injection yourself." "Me..." "He will trust you more because you're a Christian like him." "Please trust her if you don't trust me." "Is that alright?" "I am a Christian too." "This injection and this medication are not dangerous at all." "I can promise in the name of the God." "Please believe me, father." "It's all done now." "This is the first time I'm seeing a female doctor in Joseon." "Then, the next injection..." "I'll do it." "Please don't come, Miss." "Don't you remember what you promised?" "You shouldn't go to the church or associate with Christians for now." "But..." "This is for you!" "I'll take care of the priest, so please follow what I say." "I am sorry for worrying you." "I'll do as you say." "It's alright then." "I don't feel good about this." "What are you talking about, Father?" "He has been sharpening his knife, seems like." "I'm not sure what he wants to slice off exactly but..." "It'll be bloody." "Now..." "The financial situation of this country is in total shambles;" "it is even hard to discuss the issue." "Therefore," "I dare to make a request to Your Majesty." "These days, the number of the Confucian memorial halls in Joseon is about 1,700." "And among them, just a handful of the Confucian memorial halls were built by the Royal Funds, and the rest places were built by the local scholars on their owns for their personal club activities." "Therefore, I suggest that those private Confucian memorial halls, which are exploiting the people of Joseon and affecting the finance of local governmental offices must be closed all." "Wh...at?" "I won't forgive anyone who hurts the people of Joseon, even if that person is Confucius coming back from the death!" "And the Confucian memorial halls in these days are same as the dens of thieves." "Although they have a huge land and many slaves, they don't pay a single penny of tax." "They are indeed the moths eating up this country." "After closing the Confucian memorial halls, the land properties of those halls will be returned to their local governmental offices." "Moreover, we must establish the law banning to build the Confucian memorial halls privately afterward!" "The Confucian memorial halls are to honor the spirits of all saints!" "Close such halls?" "Are you trying to destroy the tradition of Confucianism of this country?" "Look, Left State Minister!" "When the finance of the country is about to be bankrupt, we can't enjoy the parties of ritual ceremonies for Confucius!" "The local scholars won't stay still!" "If you do nothing because you're afraid, you can't make anything!" "Wh....what?" "Everywhere in this country is suffering because of the exploitation of those Confucian memorial halls." "For the people of Joseon who are suffering because of the heavy taxes, we would need to eradicate them resolutely." "Then, aren't those scholars the people of Joseon?" "Why are you trying to make those scholars as the enemies?" "People who waste the funds of the government try to rule the governmental offices, are not the people of Joseon but just thieves." "How dare such a mere officer of the auditing department cut in here?" "So, since there is a big thief in the palace, are you saying we should let those little thieves slide?" "What... what did you say?" "Be quiet!" "I understand your intention, Prince Regent, but, how will you handle the resistence of those scholars?" "Can you face that back-fire?" "They would find out that the living Prince Regent is more frightening then the dead Confucius!" "Close the Confucian memorial halls?" "The Confucian memorial halls?" "Closing the Confucian memorial halls which abused the power of the country?" "This is an awesome news!" "That, what does that mean?" "Such scholars, they should've been punished much earlier!" " Right!" " Sure!" "The Prince Regent, His Excellency, is something, indeed!" "The scholars won't stay still." "Huh!" "Let them try then!" "Then, someone will arrest them." "Sure, sure!" "I'm not afraid of those maggots who don't pay any taxes!" "The order of closing Confucian memorial halls, forced by Prince Regent was getting the overwhelming support from the people of Joseon." "So far, it has been running as per the predetermined history." "Then what will happend to the persecution against Catholic Church?" "Will it be really.. unavoidable?" "He's totally different with such ignorant people like us." "The spirit of all those saints is enraged!" "Prince Regent, aren't you afraid of the Heaven?" "Withdraw the order of closing the memorial halls and ask the forgiveness of the Heaven!" " Ask the forgiveness of the Heaven!" " Ask the forgiveness of the Heaven!" "Ask the forgiveness of the Heaven!" "Withdraw the order of closing the memorial halls!" "I thought the blowfies were making noises in somewhere, but here people like bugs are gathering!" "What did you say?" "Hey you rascals!" "Even if you're chanting "Confucius says", "Mencius says" during your entire life, can you make a single grain of rice or a yard of cotton fabric?" " Don't you think so, everydbody?" " You're right!" "So, what will you do?" "Will you go back home with your own feet, or will you be dragged by me and get locked in the jail?" "Using your those smart brains, make a choice between them!" "Ready!" "I'm counting three." "One..." "Two..." "Three!" "Catch them!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "So, those scholars who gathered in front of the palace now are scattered?" "During the ruckus, a few of them stayed and resisted, but at the end, they were dragged by the soldiers." "What will those scholars be able to do, they were studying books only." "When they were threatened and pursuaded, how can they resist further?" "Let alone those scholars." "The problem here is the people." "Dozens of scholars who were heading to the capital arrived at a town near the capital, but returned to their home town after getting humiliated by the people." "What?" "Did they dare to humiliate nobleman?" "What did the governmental officers do for them?" "I think there was a separate order of Prince Regent, for the governmental officers not to intervene." "Look how the country is running now." " Ha!" "Geez..." " The people who have despised the scholars are welcoming this order, as if it's cleaning off all the old dead skin." "Since the public sentiment is leaning toward Prince Regent, if we make a rash move which is against him, their resentment can turn to you, Your Excellency." "GET OUT!" "Prince Heung Seon!" "He's getting worse and worse!" "Behind his reason that he will use the funds from closing the memorial halls for the national finance, there must be some hidden intention." "Of course, no need to mention that." "By cleaning up the source of Noron, [An Dong King's political faction.]" "he's trying to shake the supporting base of our family." "How dare..." "However, I think this is the time now." "What do you mean?" "He eliminated the Queen Dowager and forced the abolition of the memorial halls." "Since everything is working as per his intention, he must be getting big-headed." "A gap is usually seen at this kind of moment." "That gap.." "can you dig into it?" "I will find the way, for sure." "You'll recover after a few days of rest." "It could have been very serious." "I'm not happy to be alive." "In the meantime, many brothers and sisters were captured because of their faith." "I know." "There is no hope in Joseon." "If they keep suppresssing our faith by force, there can be a big disaster coming." "By the way, what is your name, Priest?" "My name is Felix Claude Ridel" "My Joseon Name is Lee Bok Myeong." "Ridel." "With the excuse that Catholic Christians were suppressed in Joseon, this French priest brought the battleships to Joseon." "This man became the fuse which caused Byeong In Yang Yo." "[In 1866, French battleships invaded the Kang Hwa island against Prince Regent's massacre and suppression toward Catholic christians.]" "For some reason, you're different than other people in Joseon." "You have amazing medical skills." "The medication you made too." "You are an outsider like me." "You're not from this place." "Where did you come from?" "You came back safely?" "Doctor jin!" "Is your headache worse?" "Miss..." "The western priest..." "Did anything happened to the priest?" "If he returns to China..." "You don't look good." "I'll get the medicine right away." "So, the Royal Clinic looks like this." "What brings you here, Sir?" "I'm sorry, but I didn't come here to see you." "Doctor Jin." "If you're ok, I'd like to talk with you." "Do you have any idea why he came?" "It's probably nothing serious." "If we look back, it's really amazing." "Prince Heung Seon who used be called a stray dog is now becoming the Prince Regent and controlling this country, Joseon." "And he's even fighting against my family which has had the power for last 60 years." "Isn't it astonishing?" "So?" "Not only that, you saved a dying person with your medical skills." "It would have been unbelieveable if I didn't see it myself." "What do you want to say?" "In the center of all of those incidents, there was you, Doctor Jin." "What is your identity?" "Who are you and where are you from, so that you could make all these things possible?" "I... am just a doctor." "who is just a friend of Prince Regent and teaching the medical skills to Miss." "An ordinary doctor." "Didn't you leave one thing out?" "Not only at the medical skills, but also at the fortune-telling to foresee the future, you are excellent." "I'm going to think about your use for a while." "Until then, you have to answer who you are." "Why did he come?" "Why... are you looking at me like that?" "By any chance, have you ever talked about me?" "What...?" "The fact that I came from another world, the Future." "How can the Major know...?" "Doctor Jin!" "[Film location :" "Korean Folk Village]" "Those scholars were like the empty cookies, so I just grab them with my two bare hands and lifted and threw!" "Right, Ggae Bok?" "Wherever I went, I could hear people praising Prince Regent." "You earned peoples' hearts through this." "If I earned the public sentiment, it's same as earning the will of the Heaven." "From now on, there'll be more things that you can do than what you cannot do." "Of course." "Of course." "However, you still can't consider Left State minister lightly yet." "I can see Left State Minister's mind as if I see my palm." "Isn't that right?" "What do you mean?" "Did you plant a spy in his side?" "Geez.." "If I reveal there here, I can't call it a spy." "Just pretend you didn't hear it." "Unnie, there is someone looking for you." "Did Major know that?" "Yes." "He doesn't know everything, but he has a hunch." "You really didn't tell him anything?" "Why would I ever do that?" "I only wish for your safe return." "I understand." "Sir!" "Are you alright?" "You don't look good." "I'm alright." "I need to go to the priest..." "What?" "I have to tell him." "The war..." "War?" "What are you talking about?" "It's nothing." "It's alright." "Sir!" "Priest." "What happened to the Priest?" "He said that he would hold his last farewell Mass in Joseon." "I told him it's too early for him..." "I'm alright now sister." "I was in a rush." "I didn't get the medication ready." "Can you move?" "The clinic is not too far, why don't you go and get the injection?" "Yes." "That's a good idea." "Priest..." "I am alright." "You said you have to travel far." "Please hurry." "These are the group of a false religion." "Arrest them all!" "Father, hurry!" " But..." " Hurry!" "Stop there!" "Where are you going?" "You two are quite suspicious." "Ah, Miss..." "At this hour, here..." "I was bringing my patient." "We can't waste any time." "Take off your hat!" "Hurry up!" "Catch that guy!" "Look here." "Here are many people who can see us." "I have something to tell you." "Was there something wrong last night?" "Do you still have your people in the police station?" "Why?" "An officer of the auditing department has some personal request?" "It's not for me, but for Prince Regent." "I need to let one person get out of the jail of the police station." "If you tell me the story without any details, how can I understand that?" "Tell me more." "The wife of Prince Regent..." "She's in the jail, crime committed being a Christian." "Including the madame, I heard 6 or 7 Christians were captured." "Once the order from the Ministry of Justice is given, the interrogation will be started right away." "Then, the fact she is your wife will be also..." "We must stop before that!" "Before Left State Minister finds it out, we must take her out!" "What did he say?" "He said he can't pull her out because the Christians are the matter to be reported to the Ministry of Justice." "In the Ministry of Justice, there are too many people of Left State Minister." "I can't make a move as I want." "Then, what should we do?" "Tell them to release all the criminals by the order of me, Prince Regent." "There is no justification for this, but don't you think we would have a big problem later?" "We have to put the fire out first." "Hurry." " Yes." " Yes." "Min Ah." "Open your eyes." "Why are you sweating so much?" "Not even once," "I had a dream like this." "What did you dream about?" "That person..." "Bad things happened to Min Ah in the dream." "It was just a bad dream." "But it's very strange." "It seemed vivid." "and ominous..." "It's because you think about her deeply." "Is that really true?" "Prince Heung Seon's wife is a Christian?" "Officer Hong told me that and asked me to pull her out." "Then, what happened to those criminals?" "Before the order of the Ministry of Justice arrived, they were released by the order of Prince Regent." "A person who used the words "by the law of this country" at the every sentence, overturned it with his own mouth...." "Father, let's go to the palace." "Is this room a room of some slave?" "Yes?" "How can you come and go without permission?" "Stay outside." "Do you want me to mobilize the soldiers to arrest the wife of Prince Regent?" "No matter what happened, she's the mother of the King." "As she's once released, it would be difficult to arrest her again." "Then, will you make it as a big issue at the Court?" "Of course, I should." "Although the people are looking up Prince Regent," "If they find out his wife is a Catholic, they will turn their backs." "Peoples' hearts can change faster than flipping your hand." "With this issue, we would be able to shake not only Prince Heung Seon but also the throne." "The newly appointed magistrates and auditors are as I reported." "Once they receive the certificates and badges, they will leave for their appointed posts." "Then, with this last agenda, today's meeting will be finished." "The subject, Left State Minister, Kim Byeong Hee, would like to speak to Your Majesty." "From the beginning, our country Joseon has honored the teaching of Confucius and Mencious, so, their basic ideas were the base of the policies, such as that men and women are different and that the noblemen and commoners are strictly divided." "However, since some years ago, a horrible false religion called Catholic church has been spreaded among the people, so this would even make the late Kings in the tombs cry." "They say that all people are equal in the name of the God." "Which barbarians's custom in the world would it be?" "The people who believes in Catholicism which is banned by the national law are criminals for being contemptuous of Your Majesty and for denying the manners and courtesy." "It's so obviously right, but why are you talking about this now?" "I heard that the Catholic criminals, who were captured last night, were released by Prince Regent." "What is the reason to release the criminals before the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice?" "And by any chance!" "if he did so because his wife is a Catholic," "I am very curious about it." "They are saying to arrest all Catholics." "What's going on?" "Haven't you heard that?" "Right now, the palace is in chaos!" "Pardon?" "The wife of Prince Regent, who is the biological mother of His Majesty," "She is a Catholic according to the rumor." "So?" "Because the captured criminals were released, now all the subjects are protesting about that." "They are insisting that If His Excellency is innocent, he should arrest all Catholics immediately." "Doctor Jin!" "Doctor Jin!" "This is not a matter that you can't just pretend you don't know about it." "Many officials of all the departments are writing the petitions aiming at you!" "The people the Left State Minister provoked are just a few." "The rest of them..." "They have complaints about you giving a lukewarm response to Catholics." "I heard that the people are gathering and coming to the capital too." "They are questioning if you would let Catholicism spread like this." "If Your Excellency keeps protecting Catholics, then not only Left State Minister's side but also the people of Joseon won't stay still." "Then, are you suggesting to wipe them out right now?" "No, we must not." "If you lose the public sentiment, you will lose the power as well." "Don't give the Left State Minister any excuse for him to corner you." "Hey, Prince Regent!" "You need to make... a right decision." "All of you leave." "I need to think." "Elder!" "You can't do this." "You promised to me." "You absolutely cannot do this." "This won't work." "If we keep going now, we will definitely get caught by the inspection." "Then, where should we go?" "Elder!" "You cannot have the Christians killed." "You have to stop it, Sir." "The Left State Minister is waiting for that." "What does it matter?" "As long as you decide not to do it, that should be alright." "Politics is not that simple." "See what will happen if I take the side of Catholics." "They will say it's because of my wife or because I joined my hands with westerners." "I'll be attacked from all directions for sure." "At the end, I will lose the political power." "So, you'll sacrifice people's lives for your position?" "If I get kicked out, do you expect the Left State Minister would leave them alone?" "He would suppress them even more harshly!" "Let that Left State Minister do what he wants!" "You don't have to bloody your hands!" "Why should I give up my position when they will be sacrificed anyway." "The Lady is in danger also." "Yes, the Lady is a Christian also." "She's probably being chased somewhere now.." "I'm asking you for a favor." "If something happens to the Lady..." "I don't know." "I really don't know, but something serious will happen!" "It's painful, but I can't let the Left State Minister's side take over the country again." "I'll need to make a difficult decision for Joseon." "Don't lie please." "All the politicians say the same thing." "For the country..." "For the people..." "But in the end, it's for them." "Isn't it true?" "You can't trust me?" "I can't trust the authority that you don't want to lose." "You said you wondered how the history would appraise you, Sir." "This persecution!" "This is the first mistake you would make." "Then the second, and the third!" "Do you know what will happen to the country in the end?" "Shut up!" "My history would be different from what you learned!" "No." "I just realized it know." "It's just like what I learned about history." "You are changing just like in history." "Here comes the Prince Regent!" "Even if they believe in Catholicism which is banned by the national law, they are also the children of the King and the people of this country." "When the children did something wrong, whether embracing with mercy or beating with a stick, it's the teaching of the father." "This subject, with a mind of the strict father," "I'm going to hold the stick highly." "We will incarcerate all the followers and the teachers of Catholicism." "Not only the household of Catholics, but also 5 houses around that house would get punished, so that we can show the example how strict and important the national law is." "Miss..." "Stop!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Geez..." "I lost my mind." "Why don't you two go first, don't wait for me." "Go." "It's here..." "Go!" "Even if you were born in a different world, you still would have been an excellent doctor." "I told you, I'm a good judge of people." "You're right, Doctor Jin." "What do you want to say?" "What is your identity?" "Who are you and where are you from, so that you could make all these things possible?" "I am just a doctor." "An ordinary doctor." "The wife of Prince Regent is in jail." "Crime comitted being a Catholic." "Catholic believers cannot be taken out carelessly." "Tell them to release all the criminals by the order of me, Prince Regent." "Don't you think we would have a big problem later?" "Hurry!"
