Yi San (2007–2008): Season 1, Episode 25 - Episode #1.25 - full transcript

Brought to you by MrsKorea and mily2

- How are they different?
- This is for fireworks and this is for explosions.

Episode 25

This has less gunpowder mixed in,
so it is only used for firework displays.
Episode 25

This has less gunpowder mixed in,
so it is only used for firework displays.

Then...

- This one is used for weapons?
- Yes, My Lord.

Because of the high ratio of gunpowder,
a small amount of this will set off a big explosion.

Alright. Give them to me.
You may leave.

Yes, My Lord.

Second Royal Secretary!



What are you doing here by yourself?

Your Highness!

What is that?

This...

This is gunpowder, Your Highness.

- Gunpowder?
- Yes, Your Highness.

Gunpowder is not easily obtained.
How did you come to have it?

Even though this is gunpowder,
it is too weak to be used with weapons.

It is meant to be used during the fireworks display
at the year-end festivities.

- At the year-end festivities?
- Yes, the Minister of Culture is in charge this year.

He asked me to assist him
in the preparations, Your Highness.

- You have been busy since your return.
- Not at all, Your Highness!

It is my honor to be of assistance.

The fireworks display is a vital part of the
festivities. Please do your best.



Yes, Your Highness!

This year's festivities will have
many entertaining events.

It will be unforgettable,
even for you, Your Highness.

Alright then.
I will be on my way.

You think they'll try to hurt him
during the festivities?

Yes, if my intuition is right,
that's what they will do.

The year-end festivities is the biggest event
of the year in the palace.

Not only will there by firework displays,
but exhibitions of military might and weaponry.

This is the one time when military weapons
are allowed in the palace.

It is a good opportunity for those who
want to eliminate the prince.

But... but the Second Royal Secretary
is Her Majesty's older brother!

If what you're saying is true, then that
means the queen knows about this plan!

We can't be certain of that.

Her Majesty has never done
anything suspicious before.

But because of that very fact,
I have always been a bit wary of her.

But what is certain is that Lord Kim Gui Joo's
return signifies a loss of power of the Noron faction.

But for someone like him to return so suddenly...
There is a plot being hatched.

If that's the case,
shouldn't we tell His Highness about this?

Tell Official Nam and Minister Chae.
They will know what to do.

- But don't tell them that I know about this.
- What? Why?

We don't know how the prince will feel
if he knows I am involved.

Tell Jang Bo and Suk Ki to watch
Secretary Jung and Lord Kim.

- Yes, Sir.
- The festivities is only two days away.

We have to find out what
they are up to before then.

Yes, Sir.

If that's the case, then don't we have to
try and stop the festivities?

- We have only suspicions, not evidence.
- We don't have time to find evidence.

Hundreds of people will be entering the
palace to participate in the festivities.

How do we know which of
them will be the assassin?

Inspector Hong asked me to tell you to watch
Secretary Jung and you to watch Lord Kim.

We must notify Inspector Hong
if anything is amiss.

- Alright.
- Alright.

Welcome, My Lord.
We have been waiting for you.

- Where is Mae Yang?
- Mae Yang is here.

- Welcome, My Lord!
- Yes, is the Minister here?

Yes.
Please join him inside.

- I'm a bit late.
- I just arrived as well.

I will send in some wine and
a few of our lovely girls.

No. We won't drink today.
Do not send anyone in.

Yes, My Lord.

Everything is ready.

- Now it's your turn.
- What is it?

On the day of the festivities, you must
change the seating of the prince and the princess.

But it is always the same
seating every year.

That's why you have to be involved!

If the plan is to succeed, this must happen!

You scared me!

Why are you here during the day?

- The Second Royal Secretary is here, isn't he?
- How did you know?

- Who is he meeting?
- He is meeting the Minister of Culture.

Why do you ask?

Could you find out what
they are talking about?

He told me to not let anyone near the room!

Really?

How frustrating!
Why are you asking all this?

It's nothing.
I'll see you later.

How strange of him.

- Are you making sure Lord Kim is being watched?
- Yes.

I've sent someone to follow him.

Do you think his plan is to really have the
prince assassinated during the festivities?

I think he is fully capable
of something like that.

Yes, that's the problem.

How could he be so crude?

Let's go.

What?

He's going to create an explosion
in front of others? Is he crazy?

Are you saying that the queen
agreed to this crazy plan?

When one is anxious,
he tends to seek the easier road.

Her Majesty is anxious.
And who can blame her?

No one knows when
His Majesty will collapse again.

So what is your plan?

Will you just sit and watch?

If they succeed, it will be a problem.

But if they fail, it will be
an even bigger problem.

We can both be hurt by this.
We need to stop them.

- Your Excellency!
- Please excuse me.

What is it?

- Is that true?
- Yes, Your Excellency.

What do you think, Your Excellency?

I agree that the enemy may use this opportunity
to try and assassinate the prince.

But this is all speculation.
There is no concrete evidence regarding this.

Even the speculation was originated
by the words of an old man.

But it is certain that the year-end festivities
may expose the prince to danger.

So, what is it that you need?

Well, I was told to find out
everything about the festivities.

What? You were told?

No, I meant I want to find out.

So... I mean, not only
the description of the events,

but also who and what is entering the palace,
who is managing the events, and

especially information on who is bringing in
what type of military equipment.

Using this information, we can have a better
understanding of how and when this may happen.

Alright. What you said makes sense.
I will try and find out that information for you.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

You now know how to strategize!
You've become quite a good Royal Guard!

You flatter me, Sir.

Shouldn't we tell His Highness
the gravity of this situation?

Alright.

Send this book and this instrument to the
Chief of the Royal Farm.

Tell him to experiment with it as I have written,
and report to me in four days.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, Minister Chae is here.

- Let him enter.
- Yes, Your Highness.

- Please take a seat.
- Yes, Your Highness.

I'm glad you came.
I have something to discuss with you.

What is it?

I would like to show His Majesty about the new
instruments and techniques I learned from that old man.

What do you think, Minister?

I also thought that the sooner we publicize these
new techniques and instruments, the better.

Since you agree with me,
I will proceed with it.

Your liveliness has returned, Your Highness.

Is that so?
I am glad that I am learning new things.

Your Highness...

Do you have something to say?

No. I was just going to say that I wanted
to meet that old man for myself too.

Let's do that.
I think you will like him.

What happened?
Did you tell His Highness?

- I couldn't.
- Why? Why didn't you?

The prince is already exhausted
by the enemy's wiles and manipulations.

I couldn't tell him that they are
planning yet another attempt.

- But...
- Don't tell him until we are more certain.

Guns!

Fire!

Stand!
To the back!

Guns!

They are the country's most skilled marksmen.
They will be showing their skills at the festivities.

Damn it! How do we know if one of them
will turn their gun on His Highness?

Can we ask for the gun display to be taken out?
Then at least the prince won't be shot.

I know, but how can we do that?

Minister! Minister!
Will you do nothing about this?

- What are you talking about?
- The Second Royal Secretary!

He's walking around like he's
got something up his sleeve!

I'm just so anxious because of him!

You know what kind of man he is!

I don't know what he is up to,
but it is foolish to risk our futures on him!

Make the right choice!

How are the preparations
for the year-end festivities?

Yes, everything is going smoothly.

It hasn't been long since
the Capital's economy was in ruins,

and our people were killed.

I am not looking forward to
this festivities at a time like this.

Why don't we eliminate the fireworks display
and have a quieter event this year?

Your Majesty, the Year-end Festivities is a festival
to ward off bad fortune for the coming year.

In times of crisis, it is more important that the
festival is done properly and with more care.

The queen is right as well.

If we can ward off evil spirits from our nation,
then we must do so.

So you're saying that\
we should stop our plans now?

Please forgive me for saying this, but that is so.

Using explosives is completely
different than using an assassin.

It has to happen in front
of hundreds of people.

If a mistake is made, we will not be able
to handle the consequences.

Are you telling me this because you think
that I haven't thought about this?

- Your Majesty!
- I know this is a reckless plan.

But I feel that we need
a level of recklessness.

That is why I summoned my older brother.

We don't know when His Majesty
is going to fall ill again.

But when that happens,
no one can guarantee that he will recover.

We have no more time for careful plans.

I must see us succeed this time
with my own two eyes.

- Geum Mong!
- Yes, Sir?

Why don't you take off your top slowly?

Yes, Sir!

I didn't mean for you
to take it off completely!

Just stay like that.

It's more sensual if you can
glimpse a little bit of skin,

rather than the whole thing.

Yes, Sir!

When will you be done?
When will you be doing mine?

It'll be over soon.
Just wait a while longer!

I'm being so good to my two eyes today!

- Hey, Dal Ho!
- Oh, it's you.

What is all this?
Have you started your peddling again?

Yes. I decided to join a merchant clan.

Really?
That's good!

Good?
I have to give them half of my profits!

I joined them because I have no choice,
but I'm not happy about it at all!

I came here happy,
but you have brought me down!

Really?
Is the Gisaeng House going well for you?

Don't I get a share of the profit?

That's right!
I'm not getting beaten by my wife anymore,

and the Gisaengs are rushing to undress
so that I can paint them!

So what about later?
So Yang was asking for you.

If you have time, you want to go...?

So Yang?

So Yang?

So Yang? Who is that?

So Yang?

That's what he said!
So Yang is asking for you!

So Yang? I didn't say it.

He said Song Yeon!
Didn't you, Sir?

That's right!
I said Song Yeon!

Then what was that about them undressing?

Oh that! I was... I was just mentioning
that you and Dal Ho should hurry up and get married,

so that you could both undress
each other anytime!

Get married?
Really?

Sir.... Sir!

Are you crazy?
How could you talk about getting married?

What else could I do?
I had to say something!

But still, getting married?

You've known each other for so long anyway.
Why don't you just get married?

Don't be so picky.
Just go and ask her for her hand!

But... I can't get married!

Why not?

I... I'm going to go crazy!
I'm going to go insane!

I'm dizzy!

Why a sly fellow!
He was consulting others on marrying me?

- Are you telling me this is your painting?
- What?

Don't you see the crooked lines?

- How can you expect us to color this?
- Forgive me, Sir.

- This isn't solved by apologizing!
- Sir...!

Let me see.

These things are happening
because these Damo wenches are painting.

Please forgive me, Sir.
I'll redo them.

It won't be any use to redo them.
Take them away. They're useless!

Can you explain to me
why these can't be used?

- You don't know?
- I know the lines are a bit crooked,

but it's not to the point
where you can't color them.

Don't you see the mess she has made?
Everything is taking twice as long as before!

But Sir, when you draw maps, you also
tend to discard a few.

How could we not make mistakes
when even the Artists make them?

What?

If you don't like these,
I'll redo all of them for you.

So please forgive her just this once
and give her another chance.

I know we are lacking,
but we are trying our best.

Please, Sir?

Don't cry, Shibi.
Why are you crying over such a small thing?

That's right, stop crying!
People will think someone died!

I'm sorry, everyone!
I made all of you look bad.

You should not have made
so many mistakes!

What about you?
You think yours were perfect?

But it was better than hers!

I don't care about us looking bad, but I'm
worried you'll take all the blame.

- We shouldn't have asked to paint!
- Stop saying that! It's not because of you!

It was my own impatience
that got me in trouble.

She was quite good, wasn't she?

I'm not afraid at all of being disliked by the Artists,
so don't lose hope.

- Let's work hard and not get discouraged, alright?
- Alright! Let's try our best!

Let's get back to work.

Your Highness!

Look over there!

It's so exciting to see all of
those acting troupes in the palace!

Yes, there are many talented
people in this world.

I like this time of the year the most!

The palace is always so noisy with all the people!
It feels more alive!

You're right.

Oh... why is she here?

I was in a good mood until I saw her!

Have you been well, Your Highness?

- You must be here because of the festivities.
- Yes, Your Highness.

Then I will leave you to it.
Work hard while you're here.

Well done, Your Highness! You have to come
across as cold and fearsome so that she fears you!

What do you mean I was fearsome?
Did I come across that way?

Did you not do that on purpose?

You were so cold to her that I thought
you were doing it on purpose.

Your Highness!

- I shouldn't listen to you anymore.
- What?

I never spoke to her about it,
and yet I am suspicious of her.

But Your Highness,
I didn't make any of it up!

She does these suspicious things herself!

Did you really try out
the instrument at your farm?

Why would I lie to an old man?

We're still experimenting with some of the
other farming methods in your book, so wait a while.

When we're done, I'll let you know.

You're a strange fellow.

Who are you?

Who am I?
What do you mean?

Anybody in?

What brings you here?

We haven't heard from you in such a long time
that we came to see if we had to have a funeral.

Fools! Just because you are bastards,
does that leave you with only half your manners?

- Have you been well, Teacher?
- Have you been well, Teacher?

Who is this fellow?
He doesn't look familiar!

I am Yi Mu Duk.

I used to study at Chungwonhangyo
and have only recently come to the Capital.

Glad to meet you.
I am Kang Won Ae.

If you're new to the Capital,
how have you come to be here?

That's right. That's another young man
whose life will be ruined!

Bastards!

What?
You saved these two men's lives?

I rescued this one from Gwangtonggyo Bridge
and that one from Soopyohae Bridge.

These men jumped from the bridges and
forced me to get wet!

What was the reason?

Didn't you listen just now?
We are bastards of the royal family.

I used to live a life of debauchery
because of my birth status.

Finally, I got sick of it and jumped off a bridge.
But when I opened my eyes, I was here.

Ever since then,
I have considered him my teacher.

You don't treat me like your teacher,
but you call me one all the time!

Stop speaking nonsense and tell us
about your travels!

How are the Royal Descendants nowadays?

They're busy getting ready
to enjoy the Year-End Festivities!

People are starving and freezing to death.
What is the nation coming to?

And not only that, the prince who was removed
from rule is the same as the rest of them.

He shut himself up in
the library for a long time,

and now he's said to be
wandering outside the palace.

I heard he fearlessly tried to rule the nation
and was humiliated!

He didn't do it for long!

He shouldn't even have
started in the first place!

He said he wanted to help the people,
but he only made it worse!

Stop complaining and do something!

If you spent all that time studying,
then you should challenge yourself to something!

There is nothing we can do, Teacher!

The government only gives out low positions
to royal bastards like us.

Only low positions?
What do you mean?

In the year of the Tiger, His Majesty permitted
the half descendants to be in government.

Now they are permitted
to attain up to the sixth order!

Are you really from Chungwonhangyo?

What do you mean?

You're so acknowledgeable about our nation that
you must not be from Chungwonhanggyo but Ching China!

Who would give us these positions?
It is the government officials, the noblemen!

Will noblemen like you allow us
to attain such high status?

Really?
So nothing seemed strange?

Yes, even the arsenal and weaponry
seemed to be in order.

We are the same.
We trailed Secretary Jung and Lord Kim.

But there was nothing out of place.

How strange. I can smell it,
but no one's passed gas.

What should we do, Sir?
The day is approaching and we've found nothing!

Don't be anxious.
We won't solve anything that way.

Go back and keep following Lord Kim.
You must not let him out of your sight.

Yes, Sir.

And you, return to the palace
and bring me the map of the festivities.

- Minister Chae can get it for you.
- Yes, I understand.

Do you think we are mistaken about this?

I don't think so.
What do dogs do in a new neighborhood?

They mark their territory and make packs.

Kim Gui Joo will be determined
to show others his ability.

He is not one who will miss this opportunity.

How strange...

- Where are your men?
- I sent them away.

This must explode in front of the prince.

There must be no errors.
Do you understand me?

Yes.
Do not worry, My Lord.

When everything is finished,
you must leave immediately.

This should be enough for you to be
comfortable wherever you go.

Yes, My Lord.

Remember my words.

Excuse me!

What is it?

I have a question.

- There is someone here...
- Get him!

- Take him away!
- Who are you? What is this?

Kim Gui Joo met with
the Chief of the Arsenal?

Yes, I saw him stop by his house.

I thought it was strange that the Second Royal Secretary
would meet with the Chief of the Arsenal.

So I followed him instead of Lord Kim.

But then something went white
on the back of my head.

And I must have fainted.

I looked for that Arsenal Chief,
but he was nowhere to be found.

Does that mean that they knew
we were tailing them?

Probably.

We've failed.

- What did you do with him?
- He is being held in the warehouse.

- Send him back tomorrow morning.
- Yes, My Lord.

- Attendant Yi, are you outside?
- Yes, Your Highness.

I wish to go to the Eastern Palace.
Make preparations.

At this late hour, Your Highness?

I said make preparations!

Yes, Your Highness.

The government only gives out low positions
to royal bastards like us.

Only low positions?
What do you mean?

Who would give us these positions?
It is the government officials, the noblemen!

Will noblemen like you allow us
to attain such high status?

Your Highness, your mother the princess is here.

Let her in.

Please sit.

What brings you here at such a late hour?

Did something happen?

I had a terrible dream.

Son...

Yes, Mother?

Did you know Kim Gui Joo
is back from Pyongyang?

Yes, I met him recently.

Ever since he returned to the palace,
my mind is anxious.

What is the reason Lord Kim
is affecting you so, Mother?

My prince, do you know who was the one
who falsely incriminated your father?

It was Kim Gui Joo.

He caused a rift between His Majesty and your father
and caused him to wrongfully die!

- Is that true?
- Yes it is.

How can my mind be at rest
when such a man has returned?

Son, that Kim Gui Joo is a wicked man.

He will try to plot against you.
You must beware of him!

Son...!

Well done.

I am really looking forward to the expression
on her face when she sees this.

- I will go to see the queen. Make preparations.
- Yes, Your Highness.

What brings you both here
so early in the morning?

Please forgive us, Your Majesty.
But it was an urgent matter,

and we couldn't wait.

Urgent matter?
What is it?

What is this?

Why don't you open it, Your Majesty?

This is the gunpowder that was given to the
Arsenal Chief by Lord Kim.

This almost went into the hands of
the prince's men who were following him.

If my man hadn't found out and stopped him,
it would have been a big incident.

- Did you say he found out?
- Yes, Your Majesty.

I was shocked when I found out about this.

Now do you know how urgent this was?

You were fortunate that Secretary Jung found out
about this. You would have been in great trouble!

It would not only have been the Second Royal Secretary,
but you would have been in danger too.

The Chief told us that Lord Kim wanted to
use this gunpowder at the festivities.

But why were we not informed about this?

Must I confer everything
with you and Secretary Jung?

Of course not, Your Majesty.

But if it involved the assassination of the prince,
you should have made some sort of commitment to us.

The reason why I didn't
confer with you first,

was because I wanted you to rest.

- You wanted us to rest?
- It's as I said.

You and Secretary Jung have always been
handling the dangerous assignments.

I though that perhaps it might be good
if you two were given a rest.

Is that so?

You are so kind to take care of us.
Thank you, Your Majesty.

But I am just as concerned for the future of
our nation as you are, Your Majesty.

How can we rest when the matter is regarding
the throne and the government?

In the future, please confer
everything with us.

Then we can protect you and make sure
something like this doesn't happen again.

Fine. I will do as you ask.

I will never forget your loyalty
to me and the nation.

I am honored, Your Majesty.

Did you see how nervous she was?

She will never be able
to look down on me again.

The Second Royal Secretary
is here, Your Majesty.

I hurried here when I heard you were
looking for me, Your Majesty!

What is it?

What is it?

Are you telling me you
don't know what happened?

What?

What do you mean, Your Majesty?

- How is this...?
- Do you know who brought this here?

It was Secretary Jung and Princess Hwa Wan.

They said that they prevented this from
going into the hands of the prince.

How.. how could you be so careless?

Forgive me, Your Majesty!
Please kill me!

Stop everything now.

I will pretend this didn't happen,
so lay low and wait for me.

But everything is ready, Your Majesty!

But why do you want me to stop?
Why?

Didn't you hear what I said?
The prince knows about your plan.

We cannot kill the prince in this way.

- What happened?
- I don't know, My Lord.

A man appeared out
of nowhere and grabbed....!

- Is that your excuse?
- Secretary Kim!

Now look here!

Everything is ruined because of you!
But you don't know anything?

Say that one more time!
Say that one more time!

- Now, Second Royal Secretary...
- Let me go!

Even if I kill this fellow here,
I will not be satisfied!

Now look, Second Royal Secretary...!

- I won't stop!
- What do you mean you won't stop!

Everything will proceed as planned.
You'll do everything as we discussed.

- But Her Majesty said...
- Are you listening to me?

We have to do this for Her Majesty!

If we let things be, Princess Hwa Wan
and Secretary Jung will grow in power.

Then what will become of Her Majesty?

Even if the prince is suspicious,
he will not know the details.

So we still have a chance.

All we have to do is kill the prince.

If we do that, nothing else will be a problem.

Are these all the event maps
of the festivities?

Yes, I brought all the maps as you wanted.

This is the seating plan
you specifically asked for.

What do you think, Sir?
Is there anything strange?

Sir!
Why are you so quiet?

- Go and get last year's maps as well.
- What? What do you mean?

This doesn't tell me anything.

I need last year's drawings to compare to
this year so I can see what they are planning.

Last year's paintings will be kept
at the Bureau in Taepyongbang.

- How will we get them at this house?
- You must steal them if necessary.

What?

Are you listening to me?

If you have to, you must climb over
the wall to the Bureau.

Song Yeon, is there anything you can do?

But Sir, it is impossible to take
the paintings out of the Bureau.

It is against the nation's laws to take things
out of the Bureau...

I know that.
But His Highness' life depends on it.

Right now, you are our only hope.

Alright. I'll try and find a way.

I'll keep an eye out,
so you focus on finding it.

- Who's that?
- Come out!

Year-End Festivities for
the Year of the Hare...

This is last year's record of the festivities,

and this is the present year's
seating arrangement.

Do you see the difference?

The seating is different.

Last year, the prince sat
to the left of His Majesty.

But this year, he is sitting next to
his mother on the lower level.

And not only that, the Dragon Tiger Troop
is stationed next to him.

Sir, the Dragon Tiger Troop will be displaying
their marksmen skills during the festivities.

In all these years, His Majesty has always been flanked
by the queen on the right and the prince on the left.

But this year, he is not only sitting on the lower platform,
but also next to the Dragon Tiger Troop.

Someone has purposefully changed the seating.

What do we do?

The soldiers can shoot
the prince from their position!

Go and tell Minister Chae
about this immediately.

The prince must not attend the festivities!

Tell him the prince must not be there!

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

Is that true?
The seating arrangement had been changed?

Yes, Sir.

What do you think, Your Excellency?

If this is true, then this is surely a plot
to assassinate the prince!

You know the prince's personality.
He will not be absent because of this reason.

But if something really happens,
we will not be able to save him!

We have no time to delay!
We must speak to the prince!

Alright. You stay here.
We will go speak to the prince.

Yes, Your Excellency!

It is I, Official Nam.

Enter.

What brings you two here at this hour?

Your Highness, we have something to tell you.

Tell me.

We think it would be a good idea if you
didn't attend this year's Year-End Festivities.

What do you mean?

Forgive us for saying this, but we think that
there is a plot to assassinate you at the event.

Although we have no concrete evidence,
there are several indications.

Indications?
Tell me specifics, Minister.

This year's festivities is unlike other years
in that the palace is in disarray.

If we look at their actions thus far,
we are certain they will try to harm you.

And this year, someone has purposefully
changed your seating to a lower platform.

And they have arranged the Dragon Tiger Troop
to be stationed near you.

This has never happened before.

Is that all?

Your Highness, there are countless opportunities
in this event in which they may try to harm you.

No matter what precautions we take,
we will not be able to guarantee your safety.

- So this year, perhaps you can say that you are ill...
- I can't do that.

Those kind of dangers
have always been with me.

If I back down because of this,
what can I possibly accomplish?

Your Highness!

I am this nation's Crown Prince, and this event
is not just any festival.

The event will be attended
by the entire royal family.

I cannot ignore the duty of the Crown Prince
because of the possibility of assassination.

- What happened?
- Dae Su, has the prince said he wouldn't attend?

- No.
- Then he'll attend?

Yes, he said he could not ignore his duty
because of a mere possibility of assassination.

Mere possibility?
We have so many concrete indications!

Is there anything else we can do?

The prince wants to attend.
What can I do?

Sir...

Dae Su, what do we do?

Damn it!

This way.

These are the Royal Guards who will be
attending the prince at the festivities.

There is a high possibility that there will be
those whose goal is to kill the prince.

All of you must ensure that
you protect the prince with their lives.

Yes, Your Excellency.

We will take care of the interior.
You handle the exterior, Dae Su.

Yes, Sir.
Do not worry.

Those of you going to the festivities must
take one of these entry passes.

You won't be able to enter the palace
if you don't have this.

- Song Yeon.
- Yes, Chobi?

Is he... I mean Park Dae Su,
will he be at the festivities today?

No, he said he won't be there.

What? Why?
Isn't the prince coming?

No, the prince is going.

What?
Oh, misery!

As you all well know,
today's event will be outdoors.

Drawing outdoor events are difficult,
so please pay caution.

I must enter the palace first, so bring
the Artists and the Damo Attendants.

Yes, Sir.

- Excuse me, Sir...
- What is it?

I'm not feeling very well today.
Could Artist Kang take my place?

- Alright then. Make it so.
- Thank you.

What's wrong, Artist Yi?
You usually like these sort of events.

- I have better events to attend to.
- Better events? Like what?

None of your business!

Artist Yi!
Hey, Artist Yi!

Fireworks! Fireworks from Ching China!

Fireworks all the way from Ching!

- Fireworks!
- Isn't it illegal for commoners to have fireworks?

It is illegal, but they turn a blind eye during
the Year-End Festivities.

Look here, fireworks from Ching!
Fireworks for sale!

- How much for one?
- 1 pun.

Geum Mong will like these.

What are they doing?

They're soldiers from the Arsenal.
They said they need it for making explosives.

Those kids!
They scared me!

Fireworks.

Explosives!

- How is everything?
- They are getting things ready.

How is everything?

What are you doing?

I was checking the fireworks
to see if they're in order.

- Then... work hard, gentlemen.
- Same to you!

- Doesn't he seem suspicious?
- Everyone looks suspicious to me right now.

So there are fireworks in there?

Damn it. We won't even be able
to enjoy the fireworks display.

Let's go.
