Episode 16
Hello?
I will no longer take personal phone calls from Club M.
Only call me if you have official...
I'll give you your first option.
We want King Lee Jae Ha to resign peacefully.
Second Option.
He resigns by physical power.
We want to give you a choice.
I'm sure you don't want your son to know about what you've done.
Tell him.
Whether you tell my son or the whole world, I don't care.
I will no longer do as you wish.
Looks like you've chosen the second option.
Physical power.
There will be blood.
It's okay.
This will be a memorable moment.
Is it okay that you let your whole country fall into amiss?
I will no longer get threatened by you. From now...
Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
Did you want to see me?
Yes. Where's the king?
He's listening to the royal family elders.
He's decided to use separate rooms from Ms. Kim Hang Ah until the wedding.
There's that incident with the premarital sex and all...
How's the investigation going?
What?
Ahn Myun Do.
Looking for the one who murdered the king.
We'll re-investigate now that the engagement is over.
Shi Kyung...
I...
The investigation will be over soon.
I, Eun Gyu Tae, communicated with Club M and committed the following crimes.
I will take full responsibility and welcome all punishment.
On March 27, I received a record from Club M worth about 1 million pounds.
And in return, I notified them of the late king's vacation spot.
On April 6, as a way to protect myself,
I filed the late king's death as that of an accident.
And I aided a suspect to depart the nation safely.
On April 22, I lifted John Mayer's ban from entering into the nation.
And I continued to keep in close contact with him.
Your highness, please don't forgive me.
Pretending to benefit the royal family, 8 I continued to work as the Chief Secretary.
Do you really have to go to the volunteer service?
Especially to a foreign country?
It's what the high queen has been doing all along. I want to follow in her footsteps.
Why does mom have to go international?
When our country was at war, foreign volunteer units helped us out.
Now, it's our time to give back what we received to the struggling countries.
But still, our family comes first. There's still a lot of hungry people here.
You're right.
So should I just go serve in North Korea?
I'm engaged now.
So isn't the North part of our family now?
Have a good trip to the foreign nation.
Don't check it.
You must ignore it.
It was sent to my personal email.
They've made their first move.
They're not going to stop even if we ignore this.
Even if we get hit, we should know what's coming.
We can't just get hit from behind not knowing anything.
If it's something suspicious, you must let me know first.
You received our mail yesterday, so I'm sure you were up all night.
And you probably went and told the king that you'd like to quit.
Right?
But you probably didn't tell him why. Right?
You know why?
Because you took our bribe and leaked the information to us.
Resigning?
-I must be punished. -Excuse me?
Where's the king?
I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk to you about.
I must advise so that your king doesn't make any mistakes.
And I also need to open up the road to peace.
Before we can start, there's something we need to resolve.
Is this the head department? It's Eun Gyu Tae, Chief Secretary of the royal family.
We would like to uplift the ban on John Mayer's entrance into Korea.
If it's wrong to give gifts, is it also wrong to donate?
Oh no, if you think so, I will accept your gift.
-Thank you. -It's my pleasure.
Oh wait a minute.
If you want to vacation in Korea, you should consider Ahn Myun Do.
The sunset is very beautiful.
What is this?
I'll just ask you one thing.
Did you ever intentionally miscommunicate my words to Hang Ah?
Yes.
What about the Jeju Forum dinner party?
Did you change Jae Shin's entrance song?
As Club M requested?
No, right? You wouldn't do that...
I changed it.
I can understand about Ahn Myun Do.
You didn't know he was from Club M.
You also had to receive the donation.
But, everything that happened after... How could you do that?
You were like family to us.
For 30 years, my father, my brother and I trusted and counted on you.
How could you?
I'll resign and receive my punishment.
Letter of resignation? You're resigning again?
All this time, fooling me about the nation and the dignity of the royal family.
Now that everything's out in the open, you want to escape?
I'm not asking for pardon.
I will receive my punishment...
Then that's not a resignation. Dismissal. You should be arrested.
I'll do as you wish. But you must be cautious, your highness.
Club M is...
What?
There's something else that you collaborated with them?
You should be careful.
Not only you, but all of the royal family. You should cancel all schedule...
How dare you warn me?!
You think I'll be fooled by you again?
You're a traitor.
All your crimes! You traitor!
I'll be waiting for my punishments.
Helping the enemy to gain my own personal honor.
Responsibility for the late king's death.
Abusing your faith in me.
I'll get punished.
But... please don't let Shi Kyung...
He's inflexible.
He never learned to be flexible. I made him like that.
I'm not asking out of the sake of my honor.
I'm worried for him.
I'll tell him myself soon.
Please, your highness, please don't let him know for now.
My father? Why?
It's not even a resignation. It's a dismissal.
The king fired him.
Jae Ha, are you crazy? How can you do that to the Chief?
I think you heard something... He may have taken money,
but he wouldn't have spent it on himself. It would've been for us.
I'll tell you later.
Why wait? Tell us now.
-You need to bathe, right? -Is that important right now?
Did you hear something? You know something?
He said he'll tell us later. Please...
Is he really fired?
Yes.
Why?
Please don't let my son know for now.
A new leader needs a new adviser.
You know, he and I were always disagreeing.
-We have two different goals. -You have the same goal, just different tactics.
-He's old. -He's still young.
-He's already worked for 30 years... -Exactly.
He served your family for 30 years.
-How could you... -I said he's too old.
He's an old gramps.
He's old-fashioned and boring.
Are you the same king that I knew?
Why? You want to hit me?
Yes.
Go on a vacation. Just go.
You must be tired. Go get some rest.
-Take your father... -I'll stay.
-I told you to rest. -I want to know what you're hiding.
-What kind of secret you have with my father... -Eun Shi Kyung!
Until I find out everything, I'll stay by your side.
Did you read this?
I'm sure it was really hard for the Chief Secretary.
I'm sure.
He's already repenting.
And...
Club M is the one who wanted you to know about this.
-We could be falling into their trap. -So...
You want me to let him stay?
He collaborated with the enemy.
He used my faith in him as a weapon.
He scolded and lectured me and led me to fall for Club M's tricks.
My brother died.
Jae Shin became handicapped. And he continued to...
I'm human, too. I need time.
You should get some rest.
I can't.
I have 5 meetings tomorrow. I need to go over this.
How can you read this when there's a thunderstorm in your heart?
Why?
Are you scared?
Yes.
I'm scared of everyone, but you.
I can't trust people.
At least, I have people who have faith in me.
Lee Jae Ha has cut Eun Gyu Tae.
Isn't that what's most import in life?
People.
Oh, really?
So, that's why you got rid of him?
People who support me even after I rejected them.
Even someone who loves me despite the fact that I shot her.
Do as planned.
Yes, it's already begun.
Stomp on me. The more you do, the stronger I'll get.
These are the files on the nation you'll be volunteering in.
And this...
I'll give her that.
Wear this bag when they take pictures after our arrival.
It's been handed down for generations to the queens.
Why? You don't like it?
No, it's because I like it so much.
But, why do I have to do this when I'm going there to serve?
Yes, it's a bit of a contradiction that we have to carry such an expensive bag,
when we're going there to serve.
But we have to look dignified.
I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate... But we have to look dignified.
Especially when visiting foreign nations. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
That's what citizens want. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Because we're royal family. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
We are the pride and symbol of South Korea. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
It's our duty to look dignified. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
That's why we have to try hard. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
If we volunteer our time just going through the motions, we become superficial people. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
You can do well, right? From the bottom of your heart? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
What was this past week like? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Anterograde Amnesia, right? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
My illness. I looked through some psychological books. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
It's not an illness. It's a bit of a symptom. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Isn't it that I erase my own painful memories, I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
because I don't want to admit those things actually happened to me? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
How do I get my memory back? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
I can understand, but you are the one who hid your own memories. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
-If you force yourself to reveal it... -I'm really okay now. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
You know, I can even stand in front of people. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
-I even gave a speech. -That was a temporary courage. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
It was possible because of Eun Shi Kyung. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
You're not ready yet. You may have a panic attack. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
It's not time yet. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Did you call me? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Is the Chief Secretary well? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Yes. He's down at the summer home. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Please don't hate my brother. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
-I'm sure there's something we don't know... -I know. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
There must be something. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
I'm getting therapy. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
-I'll soon get my memory... -Singing... I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
You're not singing? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
You have to push me when I just barely got to my feet? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
That's what you always did. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Memory is important, but you have to get back to your old way of life. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Fine. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
I'll let it pass this time. Are you my trainer or something? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
My temper has been tamed quite a bit. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
No, I'm not saying do it now. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
What was that again? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
The song I sang to you for the first time. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Start with the A chord. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Oh, right. A is right. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
Wait... What was next? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
I must have dementia. Why can't I remember? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
We started out as friends... I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
That's how it begins. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
And after that? I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
As precious lovers... I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
As I started to hold your heart inside my own. I believed that the butterflies in my stomach would turn into fate...
I was childish. It was my first love.
You know the rest, right?
Come.
Excuse me?
Follow me.
This room has the best audio system.
Sing properly. I want to record it and listen.
I can't believe you let your talent rot away until now.
Sing.
If you're really good, I'll help you to debut as a singer.
-No thank you. -I won't make you sing live.
Oh, how about singing duet with me.
I'll get going.
Mr. Eun Shi Kyung...
Do you dislike me that much?
I confessed to you, and I'm trying really hard...
Aren't you being a little too harsh?
You're doing this out of curiosity.
Excuse me, I know what I'm feeling...
Because we're so different.
I'm nothing but an amusing toy to you.
As you said, I'm a boring man.
I may be amusing now, but you'll grow tired of me soon.
Mr. Eun Shi Kyung.
-I'm not that impulsive. -Don't toy around with me.
I don't want to be your toy.
I'm telling you it's not like that...
I'll ask you one thing.
Do you dislike me because I'm handicapped?
No. Of course not.
Even if that's the reason, I can't do anything about it.
Then one more thing...
That song... I sang it to you once before.
How did you remember it?
Are you a genius?
Because you sang it.
I'm sorry we had to bring you here.
The hotel we were booked at had a sudden terror attack.
Really?
I thought it was quiet here for the past year...
Yes, and that's why we decided to come here.
It seems like there may be danger of a civil war.
We'll have to cancel all service work, and return home tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
-All the rooms are vacant? -I have only customers who made a reservation.
You don't have to worry about the privacy because we're vacating three floors by your room.
Please regard that we are planning to leave early in the morning.
Third floor...
Excuse me.
Please make the breakfast simple.
We'd like fresh fruit...
I really wanted to meet these children.
His name is Mahada. He was 2, and he had malnutrition.
He only weighed 5 kg.
The countryside in North Korea has a lot of kids like these, too.
So did he live?
Yes, but his mother passed away. She had tuberculosis.
That's a scary disease. That's how my mother died.
My father was wrongfully accused of political treason and we had to go live in the countryside.
That's when my mother got tuberculosis.
The penicillin shot cost more than 1 kg of rice. She didn't get to receive any shots.
But, I went up to Pyung Yang soon after. And I grew up there.
I never had tuberculosis.
And I got all of my vaccine shots.
What did your mother do?
She translated for foreign children's books.
I can't remember clearly, but she read books to me at bedtime.
"Anne of Green Gables"
"Gulliver's Travels"
Hyun Joo used to call me "mother."
In our family, between daughter and mother in-laws,
we consider each other just daughter and mother.
You should call me that.
Don't call me "your highness."
Mother.
Without the North Korean accent.
Mother.
Who is it?
Room Service.
I didn't order anything.
I have your welcoming gift from the hotel.
Wait a minute, please.
I think it's a good idea to leave here quietly.
Or I'll kill her.
-What happened? -I don't know, but there's no fire in the building.
I'll check it out.
Don't worry.
-Where do we go? -I don't know.
Mom and Hang Ah, they're both missing?
Yes.
The guards as well.
Call the prime minister.
Call everyone who's involved.
Be careful that it doesn't leak out to the public.
Did Bong Gu do this?
According to their surveillance camera, it was their native rebels.
We are suspecting they kidnapped them looking for a ransom.
Thank you.
These are the people caught in the surveillance camera.
They are from northern Somalia.
Then it was kidnapping? Money?
That's what's strange. There's been no contact or demand.
It's too quiet.
But why did they die? Aren't they the kidnappers?
They recently started a civil war. They must be in need of money.
Maybe they were fighting over who gets the ransom money, and killed each other.
But there were no demands for money.
And why did this happen when they were there for volunteer service?
And why is the target the royal family?
We don't have much to do with Somalia.
Isn't there one more person caught on the camera?
Yes. But they're having a hard time identifying the person.
According to the Chief of Palace, she saw a suspicious looking woman.
She had a tattoo on her neck.
It was a peculiar tattoo, a bar code.
That woman you captured before... The one connected to Bong Gu...
Yes, it was a bar code.
I verified with the Chief of Palace.
I asked her to identify from a pile of pictures. She picked the one with Bong Bong.
So, it really was Club M?
She didn't witness her in the act, but there's a big chance.
You want to continue the fight?
My weapon and my strength are my people.
Then everything will be destroyed.
Your engine.
Is Lee Jae Ha continuing to call us?
Yes, he tried to find a number of ways to contact us.
Let him be. We just need to heat up the frying pan.
Let him go crazy on top of the hot frying pan. We just need to let him be.
But make sure you treat our guests with respect and honor.
Stop eating.
What if they put poison inside?
If they wanted to kill us, they'd have done it already.
Here mother, you should eat, too.
You need to eat and get strengthened.
We need to do something, like escape.
Escape?
We have to do something.
I'm sure the royal family is in upheaval.
We can't do nothing.
But they have guns.
We have to get past them.
No, I can't.
You have to try. The king...
I can't.
You're a soldier, but I'm old and...
Hello my queens.
Is it not queens, maybe just a queen?
Is that right?
I've only seen you in pictures. It's my first time meeting you in person.
You must be Mr. Kim Bong Gu.
Kim Bong... Then...
-Would you have tea with me? -No, deal with me first.
Mother, mother!
In my opinion, I think it's Club M as well.
This past month, Club M had been in close contact with Kinaros.
I thought it was strange. I didn't know Hang Ah was going to a foreign nation,
so I just let it be.
We have to keep the possibility that it may not be Club M.
It could be another terror unit.
-Even if it really is Club M... -I know.
But the executive board will be looking into other possibilities, so we should focus on Club M.
-You still can't get in contact with Bong Gu? -No.
They keep giving me excuses. They won't connect me.
Tell them I'll do whatever they want. I can go visit them.
I can even go down on my knees and beg.
-Your highness. -They have Hang Ah.
They have Hang Ah and mom.
You know my mom. She won't be able to withstand it.
Mother.
Can I call you that?
You resemble my mother a lot.
You must detest me.
It's understandable.
Even if it was me...
But, mother...
If you get to know me, I'm really someone you can sympathize with.
My father left me when I was young.
And my mother pretty much abandoned me, too.
She owned and managed a bar. She had to feed herself.
I guess she felt if she just put me into the royal school, I'd turn out okay.
That's not what children need. They need love and care.
You do a lot of volunteer service work, so you must know.
Children who come from broken homes are really pitiful.
When I was young, I was really lovable. I don't know what happened to me...
I just want to let go of everything. I'm too tired.
So, mother...
Please put in a good word to Jae Ha.
Tell him to let go of everything, and step down from the throne.
You're really different from others.
You're so dignified.
My mother was so cheap-looking.
Cheap-looking?
How can you say that about your own mother?
I was just trying to compare you to her.
You're royal...
Broken homes... Yes, I know.
But do you think all those children turn out like you?
No, there're more who turn out to be successful and nice.
And how can you blame all your wrong-doings on your parents?
With your own lips?
I was just hoping you'd understand me...
And me. I am Jae Kang's mother.
I'm the mother of someone that you killed.
You should be kneeling before me asking for forgiveness.
What the heck are you doing keeping me a captive here?
And you're trying to use me as a bait to get to Jae Ha?
You underestimated me and the royal family!
I was trying to be nice.
Fine, kill me. Just kill me.
Do it!
You think my kids will be affected by you?
I'll get revenge on you!
Revenge for Jae Kang, Hyun Joo, Jae Shin, and even Hang Ah's baby.
Even if I fall into hell, I'll see the end of you!
You evil man!
I'll ask your mom when I die, "Were you proud after giving birth to your son?"
You trash! You evil one!
Father, please pick up the phone. Ms. Kim Hang Ah and the high queen are missing.
We're trying to get in touch with Club M. Please wait...
A day has already passed.
The executive board is looking into other possibilities, but they find it rather strange
They've never had kidnappers stay this quiet.
Just connect me to Club M. I'll take care of it!
No, let's just go. We can just go there.
No, your highness. According to the protocols...
Is this the time to worry about that?!
This is what they want.
They want us to fall into chaos, and just give up on our own.
We cannot fall into their trap.
Ten minutes.
I'll give you 10 minutes. Connect with Club M within that time.
Yes.
Your highness, you should be cautious. Club M...
Yes.
Is it you, your highness?
I heard that Ms. Kim Hang Ah and the high queen were kidnapped.
I'm in no position to advise you, but...
You should take full advantage of the foreign diplomats.
You know this is Club M's doing.
To the diplomats, Kim Bong Gu, is their money line.
Kim Bong Gu overstepped his boundary, I'm sure the U.S. and China would agree.
Use that to pressure Kim Bong Gu.
It's true that he's extremely powerful, but he's still just a corporate leader.
He can't surpass a nation.
I'm sure the U.S. and China are already pressuring him.
If we add to that pressure, I'm sure he'll be uneasy.
Please stay calm and objective, your highness.
Call all the diplomats.
It looks like South Korea is asking U.S. for help even though they don't have proof.
I know they're using diplomatic measures through China.
And unfortunately, within the U.S. and China,
there's been some negative reactions to our recent accomplishments.
He's getting smarter. I'll meet him.
Tell the desperate one to come here.
Will you be okay on your own?
How've you been, your highness?
I heard you've been trying to contact me.
I'm sorry. I've been very busy.
What do you want?
Just let them go safely. Then I'll...
Let what go?
I know you're not after money.
Even if we emptied out our accounts, it wouldn't add up to your yearly budget.
Your highness, I don't understand.
You need to explain yourself.
Do you need money? Would you like to borrow some?
You have...
You have Hang Ah and my mom captured.
They're missing? How did that happen?
Should I help you look for them?
Should I delay my wedding?
It's planned to be held in three months, but I can delay it.
North Korea may get upset, but I'm sure Hang Ah will understand.
Just send them back alive. Then I'll...
Now I understand. You think we kidnapped them?
We really didn't.
I can understand why you might be mistaken looking back at our history.
Fine, let's pretend we did it. If that'll put you at ease...
Mr. Kim Bong Gu...
But, if I really did kidnap them...
Do you think I did it just to break up an engagement?
If I have the two of them...
This is only hypothetical.
You know it would've been really hard to capture them.
You think I did all that just to get between the king's love?
No, that doesn't balance out.
Then what?
Well...
Abdication?
Why don't you let go of everything and step down from your throne?
How about it?
Wait... Would that lead to a problem in succession?
Ms. Lee Jae Shin is not fitting...
Oh right... You have that relative of yours...
He's a bit senile, but I'm sure he has no problem using the royal seal.
I know that would cause worry. The parliament would probably control everything.
But politics was never your field.
It's very dirty. You know...
So just ignore everything. Totally.
You should just move to the South Pacific with your family and live in paradise.
You can take Ms. Kim Hang Ah, too. Just live in comfort.
I will support you financially.
What else can you do?
Your family, everyone you love, is about to die.
Is your country that important when your love is on line?
What's the point of justice?
Don't you agree?
Oh, it's getting late.
I must get going. I'm very busy.
What did you talk about?
May I ask?
You...
How did you get here?
This must be a dream.
What's wrong with your expression?
Please don't skip any meals.
And don't forget to exercise.
Why are you doing this? What happened?
Your sadness is just temporary.
It'll all pass.
Hang Ah...
Mom.
No, mom. Hang Ah...
Mom...
Hang Ah...
Mom...
Hang Ah!
Are you okay?
-Where's mother? -She's fine.
Currently, the king is hesitating on our offer.
Why don't you, as his fiancee, persuade him?
For your information, the hairdresser is not that skillful.
She might hurt you without intention.
You can't, your highness. You can't step down.
This is his plan.
He's trying to make you feel the time pressure.
He has the royal family as captives.
He wouldn't dare do anything.
And what if he does?
He's like a rugby ball.
Jae Kang's death...
North's capture...
Nobody even imagined it possible.
Still...
Mom and Hang Ah...
If they really kill them, what will I do?
I'm not that strong.
I've just been forcing myself to stand strong.
Every time was like standing at a cliff's edge.
I can't do this anymore.
They'll die.
Mom and Hang Ah.
Why do I have to do that?
I didn't even want to be king.
At this point when mom and Hang Ah may die, why do I have to hold onto my position?
Sorry.
I want to be at ease.
I can't dye your hair.
Maybe, I should do something about your eyes.
I will persuade him to abdicate.
Stop.
Good.
Let's phone him here then. Shall we?
I want to talk to him face to face.
Don't you think it'll have more affect to do it in person?

I've already made up my mind.
Let's just live in comfort.
I think Shi Kyung found out.
You told me to serve.
This is your father's real side.
That's your job. You better find it.
We may all die.
What happened? What's going on?
Lee Jae Ha doesn't know yet, right? Keep it a secret.
Hang Ah. Hang Ah!
