The Three Musketeers
Final Episode 12
What kind of useless men are you?
[Previously]
I appointed him as the 6th Primary Royal Guard.
- Father. - Dal Hyang!
Your Highness.
Please stop, Father.
There's no chance for you to...
...become a princess forever.
I'll kill you for sure.
I don't know either, why I'm like this.
I've been wasting all the time so far.
How could I?
It's a murder.
The prisoner killed the doctor and ran away.
- Father - Father?
Father.
Father!
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night.
Go now...
Prin...
Princess...
[Episode 12: A letter from the continent]
Princess!
- Princess! - Wake everyone up.
Get a doctor.
Hang in there.
You'll be fine.
You'll be okay.
Wait.
How come you're all the way here?
I came to see the Prince, what's going on?
The Princess was shot and she's in critical condition.
I'm going to the palace to tell the news.
What on earth is going on?
She needs to lay on the side.
I'll be here.
Don't worry.
I'll be right with you.
Your Highness!
I'm sorry, Prince, please leave the room.
Your Highness.
What's going on?
Do you know who did it?
I didn't see him.
It was too dark.
Hyang Sun escaped from the jail.
She sent a poisoned drink to Park Dal Hyang.
Now his father is dead.
Father...
It's a murder case...
...go report this to the authority.
Yes, I understand.
It must be her.
Where did she get shot?
There's no one inside...
...you can't go in.
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Where are you?
I'm alone.
Come out.
I...
...regretted it everyday...
...and questioned myself...
...if ruling the evil with anger was...
...too hasty of a decision...
...if it was the best choice 5 years ago.
So when you appeared alive...
...I was sincerely glad.
I had another chance to...
...rule it with a good deed.
I thought it was the right thing to do!
I thought you'd change too.
If you change, I thought I'd be happy too!
But...
...now look at us.
Is this the result of my sincerity?
How...
...how an ill- fated relationship we have.
I...
...I just...
...came here to talk to you.
I thought...
...you'd at least be sad.
But...
...you were having fun with that woman.
After putting me in the jail.
How could you do that?
Okay.
I understand.
You can't see me happy.
I can't forgive you.
Right.
Let's die together.
Our deaths...
...will save everyone.
Others have no fault.
Don't come.
You don't think I can shoot you?
Don't come near!
Prince!
Where are you?
Hey.
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
You're in the palace now.
Hang in there.
Princess?
She's hanging in there too.
You worry about yourself now.
Is it better now?
Princess?
I said she's okay!
She's recovering faster than you.
Your Highness.
How is the Princess?
She's much better now.
Let me get up.
I need to see her.
She went to her house.
The King sent her home for faster recovery.
She's resting too, so don't worry.
Dear!
So...
I told him not to go...
...saying it's worthless.
He's never been to Hanyang.
He insisted he should go and then...
Father, what are you doing?
It's my honor to see the 6th primary guard...
...for the first time in my life.
I should bow to you.
Stop it, Father.
My Highness!
Where are you going?
To get some water.
Excuse me...
Are you Park Dal Hyang by any chance?
Yes.
Heo Seung Po from Hanyang...
...sent you a letter.
How are you doing there?
I'm sorry I'm not with you now.
I have some news.
Hyang Sun is...
Prince!
Where are you?
Prince...
Your Highness!
Prince!
There's someone!
Chase her! It's Hyang Sun!
Hurry up! Your Highness!
Prince!
Please wake up!
Prince!
Stop there!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Stop there!
Her body was found a few days ago.
I know it won't be much of a comfort...
...but I hope it will ease your anger a bit.
Hyang Sun is dead...
...but everything left is badly hurt.
He's recovering, but there's something he doesn't know.
I couldn't tell him.
They said the Princess...
... won't make it.
And we are...
What should we do?
What's going on?
What are you...
Are you Heo Seung Po?
Yes?
Let's go to the authority.
What?
What are you doing?
It's the King's order.
Now we're arrested and interrogated.
Everything is revealing because of that woman.
I'm letting you know because it might affect you too.
Please hide for awhile.
I hope you survive.
That's Park Dal Hyang?
Yes...
...I gave him the letter.
Arrest him!
Yes, sir!
Is this from Heo Seung Po?
It'll be confiscated as evidence.
How about the Prince?
Prince will survive.
The rumor says the Princess won't be.
What a vicious woman.
Who can be crazy like her?
Anyways, she's saving me.
I can survive this way.
The King's order is to investigate thoroughly...
...since it's a grave case.
Yes, of course. This is a real serious case.
A mere girl shot both...
...the Prince and Princess.
Hyang Sun was a witness...
...for conspiring with you.
Then why would that woman escaped the prison...
...to shoot the Prince and Princess?
Right, how strange.
Please be more serious.
You're being suspicious here.
What did you say?
Are you saying I...
...ordered her to shoot them?
How dare you talk to me like that?
I'm the Minister of this country!
I'm just telling you, there is an assumption.
So tell us all in detail.
I don't know about other things but I've heard...
...her past from her.
The past?
The reason she'd shot him.
What?
We can't trust him thoroughly...
...but there are some suspicious stories.
The Prince knew Hyang Sun already.
He arrested her for Anju case...
...but actually it was his personal reason.
Hyang Sun took revenge.
I thought you should be aware of it, Your Majesty.
Re-investigate the Anju case.
Anju's governor Kim Suk Han's letter is...
...all strange now.
The Three Musketeers.
They came and told me to rewrite the letter.
The Three Musketeers?
They called the Prince and his...
...two friends as "The Three Musketeers".
Prince and his friends?
The Prince said I can only live...
...by rewriting the letter.
I was so scared and I did as he said.
The Prince went to Anju?
He called himself as the Prince.
Is he really him?
I know the other two for sure.
It's Heo Seung Po and Ahn Min Seo.
Arrest Heo Seung Po and Ahn Min Seo.
Park Dal Hyang told you to destroy the letter?
Yes, he did.
How dare!
I made a promise with Heo Seung Po.
So he was really in Anju.
Yes, sir.
He was with Ahn Min Seo.
So they all deceived me.
Arrest Park Dal Hyang.
Arrest him.
Yes, sir!
Did you really tell Kim Suk Han to rewrite the report to the King?
Yes, but it wasn't a twist.
It was to have him write the truth.
Anyways, you've interrupted him reporting to the King.
We brought Officer Park Dal Hyang.
Sit him down.
You didn't get the letter?
You should've sent it earlier.
It didn't do any good.
I'll ask you again.
While you threaten him to rewrite the report...
...Park Dal Hyang...
- The King is here. - What?
Everyone get out.
Yes, sir.
I was going to report you after, you didn't have to come.
I have something to ask them directly.
So you leave too.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I need to check something with you.
I heard the report letter from Kim Suk Han was written,...
...threatened by someone.
I trusted you and appointed you as the 6th Primary Royal Guard...
...because your story matched his report.
If the report is all manipulated...
...is your story made up too?
It's not manipulated, Your Majesty.
The saying that it's manipulated is manipulated.
I was almost killed with the...
...2nd Primary Minister's conspiracy.
I barely survived.
I'm not asking you this because I trust Kim Ja Jum all of sudden.
I've seen this conspiracy and who-did-what scheme a lot.
It's not even surprising anymore.
I just want to know one thing.
There was The Three Musketeers involved when you survived.
The Three Musketeers are Heo Seung Po, Ahn Min Seo...
...and who's the other one?
The one who threatened the authority...
...manipulated the report...
...sent Yong Gol Dae away at the border...
...and deceived me.
Is it the Prince?
Tell me now!
Who is the other member of you!
Isn't it the Prince?
It's me.
I'll tell you everything.
Us, three used the Prince's name.
I wanted to be successful faster and have a better life.
I thought people wouldn't know even...
...if I told them I was the Prince.
So it was you?
I heard The Three Musketeers saved you.
It was all just one same person.
The Anju authority has never seen my face.
So we deceived them and we...
...fought over who'll take the credit.
I won at the end and came to Hanyang.
So as I wished, you appointed me...
...as the 6th Primary Royal Guard.
Is that true?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yes, sir.
So all three of you planned this all...
... and used the Prince's name?
I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
This is the truth.
We were too close for a long time...
...and I thought of the Prince as my friend.
I didn't even think I should report it to him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
After the probation, we wanted to get our position back.
Your Majesty.
The Prince is awake now.
Yeah?
Would you like to meet him?
No, before that get the investigator.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Those Three Musketeers...
...they have committed a serious crime.
I'll punish them right now.
The investigation is not over yet...
Heo Seung Po, Ahn Min Seo, and Park Dal Hyang...
Kill them all.
Your Highness.
I'm sorry to tell you this when you just woke up.
What's going on?
There was something I couldn't say.
While you were unconscious...
...Heo Seung Po, Ahn Min Seo, and Park Dal Hyang...
...were investigated for the Anju case.
All the story was revealed and the King got very upset.
He sentenced them to death.
What?
He said it right now. What should we do?
How can he be so hasty about the judgment?
The investigation isn't even completed.
They told the King they used...
...your name and planned all this.
They lied to protect you.
Those fools...
Why are they here by the way?
To meet whom?
What?
Is there anything else you didn't tell me?
Your Highness.
Why are you all here?
I heard she went to her house.
It won't last long.
Right, she hasn't woken up for a few days now.
They said it's miracle she's still breathing.
Oh my...
Prince! You're awake!
How are you feeling?
She was like this since then?
Yes, Your Highness.
She didn't wake up once.
They said she was recovering.
We didn't tell you so you can recover faster.
It's good you're well at least.
The King is here!
Their act was very vicious.
I'm deeply angry and am here to see their end myself.
Proceed.
Proceed!
Get up.
Do you regret it?
Regret it now, right?
Why did you interrupt?
If you kept quiet, it'll be just us two dying.
Who told you to be The Three Musketeers?
We all die anyways.
It's better to die together than alone.
I have no regret.
Good bye.
This is crazy.
Wait!
Please wait a bit, Your Majesty.
It's the Prince!
That dude is always late...
Are we going to live?
We're going to live?
Your Majesty.
The Prince is coming.
Should we halt the execution?
What are you doing? Proceed!
Wait!
Please wait!
Who's here?
I need to tell you something.
Please halt it for awhile.
Are you here hearing your friends' sad news?
I'm sorry, but they used...
...your name and deceived...
I'm the other member of The Three Musketeers.
Stop the execution.
Stop it!
What did you just say?
They said it's them.
That's not true.
It's not Park Dal Hyang.
I'm the member of The Three Musketeers.
They just followed my order.
So please ask me to take responsibility.
Are you saying you deceived your father and the country,...
...planned all this, and helped the enemy behind?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You used the Princess to hide Yong Gol Dae...
...and when the rumor says about the adultery between them...
...you went to Anju and threaten them to hide the story.
You sent Park Dal Hyang to Anju to destroy the report.
Do you admit that all?
Yes, Your Majesty.
If that's all true...
...do you even deserve to be a prince?
No, Your Majesty.
I'm not qualified as a prince.
I don't have the capability to lead the people.
I now clearly know I can't...
...even save my close friends.
Are you saying you have nothing...
... to say even if you're dethroned?
I have nothing say, Your Majesty.
The Prince said himself he will step down.
If he's not qualified as a prince...
...he doesn't have the rights to protect them either.
Whoever the member is...
...it's still the Three Musketeers...
...who manipulated the case.
So if you're one of them...
...you must be punished too.
Your Majesty.
The Three Musketeer's act should be ruled as death.
Park Dal Hyang should also die for his false testimony.
Hang all four of them.
Your Majesty.
He just recovered himself.
You can investigate this later...
This won't solve anything Your Majesty.
We should discuss first...
What are you doing? Get the Prince up there now!
Your Majesty.
Please forgive the Prince.
You can't do this, Your Majesty.
He confessed himself, so there's no chance.
Proceed.
Please, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
What the...
Who told you to die with us?
Do you think we'll be grateful?
This is meaningless a death!
Then I confessed what I didn't have to.
Why did you come?
You should have rested.
I'm sorry.
Do you all want to die?
What are you all doing?
How do you feel up there?
Are you scared?
Now you see how big your crime is?
What do you think up there?
I regret it.
Regret what?
I made them die when they're innocent.
I put my wife's life in danger.
I couldn't see her sincerity.
I ruled the evil with evil.
Also, I killed someone as a prince.
I also had them...
...deceive the government.
It's all my fault.
So are you saying you want to die alone?
If that's possible...
...yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
He's reflecting himself.
Please forgive him.
Please forgive him, Your Majesty.
Proceed.
Stop.
Stop!
Bring Choi Myung Gil.
The teacher is at fault for all this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We'll discuss about the Prince's dethronement...
...and their punishment.
Come back inside.
Your Highness!
Open the door!
Your Highness.
Bring the doctor already. Hurry!
Yes.
Oh, who's here?
Park Dal Hyang from Gangwondo.
I thought you went out to die?
How did you come back alive?
What a long life.
This is why you can't trust yourself too much.
You never know what's going to happen tomorrow.
The King is indecisive, but he's not stupid.
Since he knows you fooled him...
...even if you're alive today, your life won't be easy.
You can die again tomorrow.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not your enemy.
Since you're young, you divide...
...people into your enemy or friend.
The enemy is going around taking turns.
Even if it's taking turns, the enemy is still an enemy.
Wouldn't it be funny if I don't think you as an enemy...
...when you tried so to kill me?
If the war erupts now...
...who's the enemy?
It's Yong Gol Dae, not me.
If I save you guys...
...am I still your enemy?
Or am I your friend?
I hate you two.
It's true I can only trust you.
That's my grief.
Your Majesty.
For what happened today...
Don't you make any excuses!
I didn't call you to hear your excuse.
Yes.
I wanted to talk.
About what, Your Majesty?
I'm scared of my son.
I've had these feeling sometimes, but this time I'm sure.
So I brought him out to the execution site...
...to see how he'll react.
What I wanted was him begging...
...and crying for forgiveness.
He couldn't have thought he'd be hung.
I thought he'd blame others then.
I wanted to teach him a lesson.
Did you hear that?
He went up there.
He even asked if he can die alone.
I don't like that about him.
You can think of it as manliness.
He's brave.
I don't want a son who is braver than I am.
If the leader is determined like that...
...more people will follow him.
What if he has more people than me?
That's nothing to worry about.
It can't be.
Park Dal Hyang is the Primary Royal Guard!
He's my man, who should serve me!
Instead, he lied to me to protect him...
...and even ready to die for him!
You think that's nothing to worry about?
When young, loyalty is what...
...they die for, Your Majesty.
Then are you thinking...
...of the dethronement of the Prince?
That's an option in my mind.
Your Majesty!
How about you keep them...
...and use them instead?
You've built a strong...
...relationship with Later Jin.
If you change your heir now...
... it will confuse our neighbor countries.
Please watch over them and use the Prince...
...for the relationship with Later Jin.
This will recover your disgrace while...
...Later Jin and us will be smooth.
Are you siding with the Prince now?
I...
...only worry about the future of Joseon.
What do you think?
I think he's right.
I'm not sure if I can...
...trust my own son anymore.
If you can't...
...you can watch over him.
This is not a decision you have to make it right away.
Should we tell him?
He's not even awake...
...how should we?
We're in the mourning period though.
He doesn't even know she's...
Let's tell him later.
He needs to recover first.
He needs to know before the funeral ends.
If he finds out later...
Your Highness.
Are you crying?
Why are you crying?
Did you have a bad dream?
Your Highness.
Am I dreaming now?
What?
Are you...
...really alive?
What?
Her Highness Jung Bin passed away last night.
We were worried since she was old, but all of sudden...
We couldn't tell you because you weren't awake.
Did you cry thinking I was dead?
I'm alive...
...you were the one who's been sick for a long time.
You...
...cried because of me?
Really?
Oh my...
I'm glad I'm alive.
Who'd ever know?
You cried for me.
Forget it.
What?
Erase this from your memory forever.
If you bring this up again...
...I won't forgive you.
I'll think about it...
...it depends how you do.
Did you just say you'll think about it?
I'm not scared of anything after I almost died.
I'm not scared of you at all now.
Don't smile, we're in the period of mourning.
[Shimyang, Later Jin.]
At your service, Emperor.
It's our first snow this year.
Yes, Your Majesty.
As you begged, I've been only watching Joseon.
Joseon's King has no future.
Get ready.
Once the River is frozen...
...we'll conquer Joseon.
After a few months, the war erupted.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
War...
It's a war!
What?
The Emperor of the enemy is leading the army himself.
They're already close to Gaesung.
I don't want to talk about the miserable war everyone knows.
I don't want to remember the King's horrified face.
Hurry up!
Hurry!
Run!
Hurry!
The look of him fleeing while abandoning his people.
Also the sorrow of the day the Prince...
...and Princess were captured as hostages.
Also, the palace with no master only hurts me.
[2 Years Later]
So I'll skip the time.
Two years after the Prince and Princess were captured in Later Jin...
...my story starts again when I arrived in Shimyang...
...carrying out the King's order.
We'll go to *Shimyangguan tomorrow.
[Shimyangguan: Place where the Prince and the Princess stayed as hostages.]
Now it's too late.
Okay.
Didn't you tell me you know them personally?
Very well.
Then you can go greet them first.
We don't need to go through procedures.
I've already sent them a message.
You did?
Heo Seung Po should be here with his drink by now.
There he is.
Why are you alone?
Did you tell him I'm here?
No, he wasn't there.
- How about Ahn Min Seo? - He wasn't there either.
How about the Prince?
They said he's out.
No one is here?
Right, so I just came back.
They should know I arrive here today.
They said they went to take care some urgent matters.
Urgent...?
If you're free, let's go drink with me.
Sure.
Is there any place we can go around here?
Why is it so loud here?
Let's sit here.
Sure.
Here's a servant girl!
They must have been caught after running away.
10 *Nyang.
[Nyang: Later Jin's money unit.]
80 Nyang.
They're hitting her and stepping on her...
Overlook this.
This is everyday life.
We're in their country.
What would you like?
Drink.
Give me some drink.
Okay.
Why is he...?
Excuse me.
What are you...
It have been a while!
You look better now?
Not as much as me.
How have you been?
I missed you!
Me too.
Tani waited for you so long, why did you come now?
You didn't get the letter?
What letter?
I sent many Tani's letters to you...
...but there was no reply.
It must be because I moved.
By the way, who's Tani?
Tani!
Tani! The one you promised to get married to.
What?
Did you promise you'll marry her...
...if she saves you?
She said you must keep that promise!
Oh.
Now you're here finally.
Tani will be so joyful.
Get married here while you're here.
What nonsense...
The Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers are here!
Isn't that Ahn Min Seo?
Look at him.
I'll see you later.
I think they're from Joseon.
What are they?
The Three Musketeers.
What?
The Three...what?
They're my friends.
Look over there.
If you're free come in.
We're short of staff here.
What's going on?
You know we never do bad things.
Please wait here a while.
Let me help them.
Wait!
How have you been?
I've been fine.
I was worried about this place.
I didn't know you're having fun here.
We're not going anywhere.
The Three Musketeers.
Are they The Three Musketeers?
Yes, they're The Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers were more popular on the Continent.
They all know you?
They don't know the face of Prince anyways.
We can simply hit and run here.
They slaughtered Joseon's servants.
Let's show them the price.
Kill them all.
There seemed to be more things to do for them.
As well as for me too.
Who is that?
How can it be?
How did you survive?
Are you surprised?
My cursed life is too long.
Why did you come here?
You made a promise you didn't keep.
I'm dead because of that.
Now...
...you need to pay what you owe me.
Are you still interested...
...in the Princess's position?
- It's all in the past... - No.
I don't need that stupid position.
It's meaningless to me.
I want to be...
...the King's woman.
[The Three Musketeers]
