Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist (Joseon Psychiatrist Yoo Se-Poong / Joseon Jungshingwa Uisa Yoosepoong / 조선 정신과 의사 유세풍)

No, wait!

I am sorry. I did wrong.

But I did it because the Second State Councillor told me to.

I had no choice. That is the truth.

It is time...

to reveal the truth clearly.

What command you were given,

and what evil you did to bribe the Second State Councillor!

Yes. Of course.

I will tell you everything.

Will you...

help me get out of this alive?

Yoo Se Poong.

No. Yoo Se Yeob, sir.

What the Second State Councillor made me do and took,

I will tell you everything.

Believe me.

I, Im Soon Man,

will expose the Second State Councillor’s corruption!

That way. Go and search!

Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Listen, Se Poong.

Here.

Do not speak. I must stop the bleeding.

Here, take this.

My field of gold.

You cannot take it.

All this... is mine.

The Second State Councillor...

gave dansacho to the former king.

What will you do now?

Commander Im...

would have recorded what he gave the Second State Councillor.

I must find that ledger.

That ledger.

I found it.

Here.

From sable skins...

to produce meant for the King, he gave as a bribe.

What does this mark mean?

After he stopped giving sable skins and produce,

a massive amount of money and gold changed hands.

That must be the money made from selling opium.

He gave him gold bars to coincide with each harvest.

With the stiletto needle and this, we can take him down.

While I get things going in the Palace,

I need you to look into the damage caused by opium.

Okay, I will do that.

Young master, be sure to eat on time.

I will be back soon. - Okay.

We should go.

No. You should remain here...

We must go. Is this not a pressing matter?

Have a safe trip. Go on.

Was she going too?

I have no idea.

I feel bad you have to be my hands.

Now I am putting you in danger.

I promised I would not let you leave alone.

We have come this far together, and I will stay until the end.

Yes. This is really the end.

I will bring the Second State Councillor to his knees.

That ledger shows...

how the Second State Councillor bled the people dry,

and that stiletto needle was used on the former king.

Are you saying...

this is enough to have him locked up immediately?

It is not yet time, Your Majesty.

Wait until he falters...

and causes himself to crumble.

When that time comes,

that is when you charge him for murdering the former king.

But the court...

is full of his people.

Even if we find more proof,

he will cut his losses and get out unscathed.

How about you burn his tail...

so he cannot cut it off and escape?

Set fire to his tail?

Here, on the date where it says the former king's boils went red...

and formed blisters,

write down what he ate.

Okay.

For a late-night snack, he was served candied red ginseng.

The next day, red bean porridge.

Physician Gye must have arrived safely, right?

His Majesty's royal guard went with him,

so they must have arrived by now.

I am sure...

everything will go well.

You said bad things came from what you were never worried about.

I trust that you will untangle the mess.

If...

something happens...

I will be fine.

Long time no see, Shin Gui Soo.

I did not know that you were still alive.

Of course, you did not know.

You killed everyone.

You must want to get rid of me now.

You know that, yet you dared to show up before me?

I am here to give you a chance.

You should kneel before me and beg me to spare you, if anything.

What? A chance?

You will give me a chance? How dare you!

Did you think you could live...

as if nothing happened when you poisoned a king?

Such insolence!

That is a groundless accusation.

The stiletto needle used that day.

His Majesty has it.

What did you say?

Why?

Do you not believe me?

The Second State Councillor ordered you...

to murder the late King.

Everyone already knows all about it.

You killed your teacher and your friend...

and joined hands with the Second State Councillor.

How could a physician...

harm someone using poisonous herbs? Do you not care...

as long as you get the royal physician title?

Who is my friend? And who is my teacher?

All Jeon Kyu Hyung did was coddle hypocrites like you.

I do not consider him my teacher!

Our teacher...

cherished your skills...

as a physician.

His Majesty promised...

that he would spare your family...

if you confessed.

You must save your innocent children for they did nothing wrong.

This is your last chance to atone for your sins.

Think wisely.

You could not find the stiletto needle?

It must have burned...

and melted in the fire when Im Soon Man died.

Then what about Yoo Se Yeob?

While I was taking care of Im Soon Man,

he disappeared.

You fool.

You asked for a chance.

I will not repeat myself.

The stiletto needle and Yoo Se Yeob.

Neither can be allowed to exist.

Understood.

I will do that.

Physician Yoo was right.

Shin Gui Soo is faltering.

What now?

If what I am thinking is right,

Shin Gui Soo will go straight to the Second State Councillor.

Where is the Second State Councillor?

As soon as he gets there, the palace guards on site...

will arrest him in front of the Second State Councillor.

Royal Inspector Cho Sin Woo...

must be arrested with him.

What is this ruckus?

How dare you.

This is the Second State Councillor’s residence!

Obey the King's command!

Tie up Shin Gui Soo and Royal Inspector Cho Sin Woo!

Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Let go! - Councillor Cho!

Did you say...

it was the King's command?

Yes.

Fine.

Go ahead and obey the King's command.

Councillor Cho!

This is His Majesty's chance to learn...

what could happen...

when he wrongfully imprisons someone without evidence.

Do not worry.

He cannot punish his loyal subjects who did nothing wrong at all.

Do not be afraid.

Take them!

Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

I have secured...

countless pieces of evidence and witnesses.

As the royal physician,

how dare you poison the late King?

Your Majesty, there are many eyes watching me in the Palace.

They record every single thing I do,

and there are court maids who work as royal tasters.

How could you believe such false accusations?

This is not fair, Your Majesty!

You are still telling lies?

Does the man behind you...

scare you more than I do?

Tell them to cancel the morning audience.

Yes, Your Majesty.

When did this begin?

His condition has been worsening...

since he saw the royal physician yesterday.

He does not trust the physicians in the Medical Office.

Se Yeob, I...

I cannot breathe.

You are experiencing heart palpitations caused by anxiety.

Please get some rest. I will make some herbal tonic for you.
