You're the last place of 28.
But you still passed it.
Thank you.
Congratulations...
...on passing.
What are they going to insult me with this time?
They want their King's title as Emperor...
...and change our alliance relationship to...
...master-servant relationship.
They've brought their official letter.
I just saw Mi Ryung.
How is that possible?
It's a wise decision.
Let's end it here.
What are they now?
[Yong Gol Dae: General of Manchus (Qing Dynasty)]
Who are you?
How dare you trying to hurt my people?
What's your name.
He's likely one of the Crown Prince's men.
The Crown Prince knows our plan.
And he stabbed the Prince.
Shoot!
Get him!
He's over there!
What was that?
Why those savages chasing me in my own country?
[Episode 3 Secret Mission]
Isn't that blood?
Did you get hurt? Where?
Is there anyone out there?
Yes, Your Highness.
Get in here.
You should leave now and don't worry.
But...
I said leave.
What happened?
Explain the blood.
If Wooikchan ignores me as well...
[Wooikchan: Royal Guard for Royal Prince] (Primary 6th Class)
...I won't sit still!
Your Highness, the thing is...
I just saw Mi Ryung.
What happened?
What are you saying?
Mi Ryung?
She's alive.
She's alive?
She hanged herself.
You said you confirmed the body.
You didn't see it for yourself.
That...
Actually, I just heard that...
...body was buried.
So I couldn't check...
...the body.
There's no way.
I don't believe he lied to us.
You must have been mistaken.
I need to check.
Go find Yoon Eui Rip first thing tomorrow.
Why can't we call the Royal Doctor?
What do you mean?
We can't let the Crown know.
I can't tell you anymore.
I don't believe he's badly hurt...
Are you still here?
Don't worry, go back to your room.
It's nothing.
How can it be nothing when you're bleeding?
Did you think that was real blood?
You were fooled.
I was just playing with color paint.
What?
Your biggest flaw is you can't take jokes.
Please work on that.
Let's go.
Where are you going like that?
We're going to see a doctor, don't worry.
Who are you?
Get up.
You have a patient.
What? In the middle of night...
Why did you come in...
Shut your mouth.
If you don't, I can't save your life.
How have you been?
It's been a long time Dr. Park.
Prince?
I'm sorry to wake you up...
...but you have to save me.
It hurts a lot.
Your Highness!
Who tricked me?
Is it Kim Ja Jum or the Prince?
Or they're working together...
...then...
...did the King of Joseon trick me?
We don't know that either.
Otherwise...
...is it you?
If the Prince dies...
...or the situation gets complicated...
...I'll kill you...
...with my bare hands.
Where did he run to?
That way.
Put that sword away!
What did he say?
He's worried about the Prince might die.
Then we would have a war on our hands.
He won't die.
I didn't stab him deeply.
Are you sure?
He won't die from that wound.
I didn't have a chance to stab deeper.
If I had known it was him...
...I would've killed him.
Right?
What did this country do for us?
It was my chance to finish the royal family.
What's wrong?
I thought you went to a party last night.
But why...
Was that only last night?
What?
I feel like it was a year ago.
What the...
What happened to him in a single day?
Sir.
Are you in there?
I'm opening the door!
Who are you?
- Oh well. - Whose servant are you?
I'll shoot on the count of three.
One. Two...
I'm Servant Pan Se from Minister Heo.
Don't shoot please.
Heo Seung Po sent me here.
Come in.
Sorry if I scared you.
I'm a bit sensitive lately.
Anyway, what's going on?
He sent me here to see...
...if you're okay.
Do I look okay to you?
No, no.
You're correct.
Tell him I'm not okay...
...but I'm still alive.
How about your master?
He's well.
Here's a letter for you.
If you're reading this...
...it means you're alive.
I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you...
...but I'm taking care of my whining friend...
...who's crying over a little stab wound.
He's a well-known crybaby, so don't you worry.
He's recovering right now.
I need to hear what happened to you...
...so follow Pan Se.
Obviously, this is to be kept a secret.
The Three Musketeers.
- Should we go? - Yes, sir.
It's to Minister Choi Myung Gil's house.
Minister Choi Myung Gil?
Why?
He's the teacher of those three.
- He's right there. - Are you out of your mind?
You did something you deserve to die...
...and have no idea what's going on?
I've already warned you many times.
I taught you not to overlook your relationship to the Prince.
Not to forget your role and responsibilities.
And refrain from rash acts!
[Choi Myung Gil: Teacher of the Prince] [An ambassador and Civilian.]
Are you really his royal guards?
How could you bring the Prince into the jaws of death?
Does that make sense to you?
You made it.
Has the cat got your tongue?
I told you I would take care of it.
I trusted you and this is what happened.
That...
- That was because the wall fell... - Is it funny to you?
Why did you stop?
It sounds like an excuse.
I'm sorry.
I didn't keep my promise.
- I wasn't able to give this back. - How can you be so childish?
I heard the Ministers were there too!
What happened?
- What? - That woman and the one-eyed guy.
I lost them.
- Don't you know the King's temper? - They went into the mountains...
...and they met with some savage warriors.
Do you mean the envoys?
They were envoys?
No wonder they spoke a weird language.
There was someone who looked like a general, too.
You mean Yong Gol Dae.
Yong...
That notorious general?
That's him?
You met him, why ask me?
Prince, you have your faults too.
Don't laugh and reflect upon yourself.
Now you have to put distinction between business and personal.
I always informed you that the King who failed to draw the line...
...between official and personal matters will not succeed in his career.
You are still acting like a teenager...
...and hanging out with them.
You have to acknowledge that you are degrading yourself.
Yes, sir.
I'm reflecting very deeply.
It doesn't seem so.
King's intrepidity is not being in the van.
Your act was of a civilian...
...and not of the King.
The King should...
Who are you?
Oh, teacher.
He's Park Dal Hyang, the one I mentioned.
He helped us out last night.
Introduce yourself.
He's Hojo Panseo Choi Myung Gil.
[Hojo Panseo: Head of the Ministry of Finance] (Primary 2nd Class)
Nice to meet you.
I'm Park Dal Hyang from Gangwon-do.
I have a letter from father for you.
I came here last time...
...but you weren't here.
Your father knows me?
Yes.
Park Oh Soon.
Park Oh Soon...
My father is your cousin's brother-in-law's...
...uncle's cousin.
My cousin's brother-in-law's uncle's...
Uncle's cousin.
My brother-in-law's uncle's...
...cousin.
Oh right.
Now I remember.
You remember?
I do.
He's very tall and has white skin.
My father is...
...really short and dark.
Oh, yeah?
Okay, well.
But the important thing is that you're the son of Park Oh Soon.
Right.
I'll remember some day.
Today we have Bang Bang Eui.
[Bang Bang Eui: Ceremony that calls out the names of people who passed the exam.]
Yes, sir
You've gone through a lot before you even got your badge.
Many things happened while I was gone.
Since you're already involved, we have nothing to hide.
Let me explain.
The country is not doing well.
War is very close.
Sir.
Where would you go?
[Kim Ja Jum: Head of the rebels] [Civilian of Chuck Hwa faction.]
Let's get out of here first.
Let's go back to Anju.
We have to hide that...
...you were Hanyang or they'll accuse of you of betrayal.
Why was the Prince there?
Kim Ja Jum probably left the city.
We can't find him.
I'm sure he's running away to Anju.
The others are all freaked out...
They're scared to death.
Before that, Yong Gol Dae is our issue.
He tried to kill Park Dal Hayng.
It means he's confused too.
It won't be good for Manchus either.
They might come later after sorting things out.
Kim Ja Jum usually sticks with the strongest side...
...so it's not surprising that he wants to contact Manchus.
But why did Yong Gol Dae want to see Kim Ja Jum?
What's their plan?
If we have another war, Joseon's era will be over.
Point of no return.
The government should work together to solve this.
But as you saw, they only worry about themselves.
They're making excuses, and it's a chaotic scene.
Everyone tries to save the country...
...but no one knows how to.
You understand?
Unfortunately, you've become a government...
...employee when it's like this.
Let me ask you this.
How will you live...
...as a military officer?
How will you protect this country?
Sir.
What's going on?
You have a visitor.
Visitor?
At this hour?
It's the Prince's servant.
What brings you here?
Why did you come at this hour?
I'm sorry that I'm too early.
The Prince sent me here.
Why would he...
What's going on?
It's about your late daughter.
Mi Ryung who hung herself 5 years ago.
Fire!
Get up!
Fire!
Get up! Fire!
Mi Ryung!
Prince!
You said you loved me!
I thought you loved me.
I just met him.
What did he say?
Surprisingly...
...he didn't see her body either.
The body was too damaged and I couldn't really show it to you.
So I buried her.
- Buried? - Yes.
Back of the mountain.
If you'd like to check...
...should I dig her up?
Never mind.
Forget it.
He only remembered...
...the servant saying that she was buried.
Then why didn't you ask the servant?
But that servant...
...committed suicide few days after.
For what reason?
I heard he had many complaints but...
...no one knows the real reason.
So no one...
...saw her death in person.
That's about right.
Could she...
...really be Mi Ryung?
I'm not sure.
It was so quick.
What will you do...
...if she's alive?
Morning is coming.
Let's get back.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
He'll give his morning greetings to the King.
But the Princess already left...
...after waiting.
By herself?
Is the King awake?
Yes, Your Highness.
How about the Crown Prince?
He has a cold, so he's a bit sick now.
So I think it just has to be me today.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
The Crown Princess is...
Say again.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
The Prince and...
...the Princess are here.
You can't even lie well. What were you gonna do?
Smile.
Let them in.
Close the door.
What?
Should we come back?
No.
What's going on out there?
I'm ready.
Are you sure?
Open the door.
Yes, Your Highness.
Are you hurt, Crown Prince?
You don't look so good.
I think I slept funny. I have a pain in my arm.
It's nothing. Please don't worry.
How was your night?
You couldn't sleep because of me.
I'm sorry.
Don't mention it.
I was stupid.
It was only a dream.
The envoy isn't even here.
Please understand me.
After your mother died...
...I have no one to lean on.
This palace is so lonely.
It would be great to have a grandson.
Any news yet?
Are you even trying?
Princess.
Are you crying now?
No, I'm not.
Did I say something wrong?
I can't even say that as a father?
No, that's not it...
I'm sorry.
Luckily, his lung is okay...
...and the bleeding stopped right away.
So you don't need to worry much.
And he was at Sir Choi Myung Gil's house afterwards.
He seems to be out of danger.
Okay.
You can leave now.
Another war is near.
How will you live...
...as a military officer?
How will you protect this country?
Find your answer before you are appointed.
It'll be very hard...
...to be a military officer in times like this.
Line up please.
Line up.
- Han Myung Sun. - Yes.
- Seo Myung Ho. - Yes.
- Heo Jung Ho. - Yes.
- Min Jong Sik. - Yes.
- Kim Sung Hon. - Yes.
- Han Jung Mok. - Yes.
Min Jong Ho.
Oh Chang Seo.
Oh Chang Seo?
Here!
You're the 8th.
Why are you there? Go find your spot.
How could you not know your spot? This way.
It's in the order of your passing grade.
Remember your grade.
My servant told me...
...the Prince was stabbed. I don't know what happened.
And the Royal doctor wasn't notified.
If the Prince doesn't show up here, he's hurt for sure.
If we get blamed for this, we're dead.
But the King didn't say anything.
It seems like he doesn't know anything.
Where the heck did Kim Ja Jum go?
- He got us into this mess! - Right...
We didn't do anything wrong.
We just went out because he called us.
Why don't you go in?
Your Highness.
The ceremony will start soon. What's so interesting here?
Oh, right.
How was your night?
I had a nightmare.
And I couldn't sleep.
A nightmare where traitors...
...betrayed this country...
...even before the war began.
How ridiculous.
I'm glad...
...it's not real.
It was just a dream.
Please. go on.
I'll take it from here.
How was everything?
I want to hear.
I heard there was an incident last night.
What is that sound?
I think Bang Bang Eui is taking place.
Oh, that was today?
Would you like to go see?
They permit the families too.
So there will be women as well.
No, it's okay.
Bang Bang Eui.
Have you ever been to Bang Bang Eui?
No.
In the large garden of the palace...
...all the ministers and officers gather.
The ones who just passed the exam are there waiting.
When they call their names...
...civilians go east.
Military officers go west.
In the order of their passing grade.
When I pass, you better come.
His Majesty is here!
The first place of civilians...
...Bang Si Ho!
The first place of military officers...
...Park Myung Sun!
Lee Si Sun!
Park Sin Gil!
Park Dal Hyang!
Everyone, bow!
Let's go.
Your Highness.
Over there...
What?
Please look at the family section.
Can you see?
It's Mi Ryung.
She was really alive.
But how...
Get her.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Are you the Crown Princess?
How dare you!
I'm sorry.
I couldn't believe you were...
...standing in front of me.
It's my honor to meet you.
Your Highness.
Did you lose her?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Sir!
Are you in there?
It's me again.
- So cold! - What is it this time?
Sir Seung Po sent you something.
Don't tell me something happened again.
This is a slave paper.
What?
Congratulations!
You looked nice in your uniform.
Well, not as good as me.
Since we're friends...
...I give you this servant as a gift.
Since you're an officer, you'll need one.
Let him run all your errands...
...and be your messenger.
His name is Pan Se.
You're Pan Se.
Yes.
Do you know whose contract is this?
No, I am illiterate.
It's yours.
Excuse me? Why...
Your master has given you to me.
Right. What?
What did you say?
Oh no.
I'm doomed.
I didn't know!
Where are you going?
I think Sir Seung Po has made a mistake.
He meant to send someone else.
Why me?
I do so many things for him!
This must be a mistake.
Let me go check!
It can't be a mistake.
This is yours and your name is in the letter.
No, no.
It's a mistake!
It must be!
I'm not running away because...
...I don't want to serve you.
Don't get me wrong!
You're running away because you don't like it!
That's not true!
Why is it pouring?
Why were you looking outside?
Did you know I was coming?
Don't let anyone get near here.
Yes, sir.
Can I come in?
Close the door. Someone might see us.
Are you here alone?
Yes, I am.
Why?
Must it always be the Three Musketeers?
Sit.
Why are you standing like that in your own room?
You could have sent for me. Why did you come...
...all the way here?
I like getting out of the palace.
As you know, I wasn't born a Crown Prince.
My father became the King unexpectedly.
And me, the Prince as well.
I was born and raised out of the palace.
So I like out here.
And I couldn't find a good spot to meet you.
Too many eyes everywhere.
Our meeting tonight is confidential.
Even Seung Po and Min Seo don't know.
Alright.
How do you feel getting this red badge?
I'm not sure.
I haven't started working yet.
What do you want to do from now?
Do you want to join the Royal guards?
That's not...
...somewhere you can just join as you wish.
When I ask, it's possible.
The teacher also told me I could keep you with me...
...since you are already involved with us.
Seung Po and Min Seo like you too.
But I said no.
Think about it...
...you'll meet my wife often...
...if you work for me.
And what if you fall in love with her again.
She doesn't like me these days.
What if you two elope together?
How could I...
It was just a joke.
I said no because...
...I'd like to give you a different mission.
You'll be assigned to *Youngjubdogam.
[Youngjubdogam: Temporary Office for Welcoming Envoys.]
Youngjubdogam...
You'll be the guard of the Manchu envoy.
Yong Gol Dae.
I have a reason for sending you there.
Find the woman you lost last night.
Her name is Mi Ryung.
She might call herself Hyang Sun.
You're the only one who knows her face.
Obviously, she's related to the envoy team.
Find her and bring her here by all means necessary.
That's your first mission as a military officer.
There!
The barbarians are here!
How dare they! Why are they here?
Remember this.
This is only between you and me.
This shouldn't influence our relationship with Manchus.
So resolve this matter rather quietly.
Find her and bring her to me.
Any questions?
Is this task...
...an official duty or...
...your personal matter?
It could likely be both.
Then...
...what are you going to do after I find her?
Well.
The last time I saw her was 5 years ago.
I hope she's changed.
What happened 5 years ago?
Now you're talking.
Since you asked if I had any questions.
At that time...
Your Highness.
I thought you said you loved me.
I thought you loved me.
Kill yourself.
I killed her.
But she's still alive, so...
...I'm surprised to see her.
Then...
...if you find her now...
I'm not sure.
I need to see her...
...to find out what I'm going to do.
It's one way or the other.
I'll kill her again.
Or I fall in love and run away with her.
Are you...
...joking now or...
Q & A time is up.
Now do your job.
Can I not take the order?
Park Dal Hyang is assigned to the envoy guards.
Your Majesty!
Please kill Yong Gol Dae...
...and send your message!
I have less patience than you do...
Where is the King going now?
Maybe I pity you.
I kind of like you now.
Please cover yourself first.
- You're hiding something. - No, no.
Your Highness.
Stay a bit longer.
