Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear director.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, director.
Episode 19
What's wrong? Am I that intimidating?
No, princess.
I came to wish you a happy birthday, too.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, princess.
-I picked this out especially for you. -Thank you.
-Open it. -I'll do it later.
Open it.
Should I?
This is...
This is too much...
-It looks good. -It does? It looks good?
You have to practice going out in front of people.
You have to start singing, too.
Sit.
If you're tired, you can sit.
I'm fine. I'll stay.
Withdraw the court case, separate from Kim Hang Ah and step down from your throne.
Or else...
He's going to kill me?
That's a given.
But Korea will be in danger, too.
All the citizens of your nation may die.
You decide... Yourself or your nation.
I'll give you ten minutes.
I'm going back.
Where?
I'm worried about the king.
He's the king. Nothing will happen to him.
To be honest, there's something I talked to the king about.
Sorry, dad. I couldn't tell you because it was confidential.
Only the guards...
So how do you feel?
Now that your man has allied with me.
Don't hate him too much.
I tried very hard to get him on my side.
Did you ever do anything to win him over?
You got his loyalty for free. Just for being a king.
There's no difference between you and I.
I bought him with money. You bought him with your royal title.
Did you really betray me?
Why should I like a powerless king?
Of course there were tempting moments.
When you said you would abdicate.
And when you told me you could never send me here.
But those were the only times.
You always blamed others, but never gave up.
Even when faced with a 99% impossibility, you always looked for and found that 1% possibility.
I'm not faithful to you because you're a king.
I'm faithful because you never give up even in times of despair.
Freeze!
Are we finished?
Did we go through everything thoroughly?
Yes. Do you know the code?
Can you talk on the phone?
That's the password.
He's going to say the real location now.
I won him over.
"I won him over."
Turn on the AES.
What did you want me to choose?
Korea or my life?
My choice...
is you.
Drop your guns!
You, too.
Put your hands up.
My name is Peter McNickle, ICC investigation.
John Mayer, you have the right to remain silent.
If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in the court of law.
You have the right to consult with a lawyer, and have that lawyer present during any questioning.
If you choose to talk to the police officer, you have the right to stop the interview at any time.
Eun Shi Kyung. Eun Shi Kyung.
Why do you make me do this?
Shi Kyung. Eun Shi Kyung.
Don't say anything. Get medical aid!
How can this... How can this happen because of me?
Don't say... Don't say that.
I chose this.
We got Bong Gu.
Even in the future, don't ever give up.
You're...
Eun Shi Kyung!
You're a king.
Shi Kyung. Eun Shi Kyung!
You can't die!
Don't die. Eun Shi Kyung.
Eun Shi Kyung!
Don't die!
Eun Shi Kyung!
We started out as friends. As precious lovers...
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.
Breathing alone gave me happiness.
It was love like the sunshine.
I believed it would last forever.
But now all we have are the memories.
Eun Shi Kyung. Eun Shi Kyung!
Don't die. Eun Shi Kyung!
Eun Shi Kyung. Eun Shi Kyung!
Eun Shi Kyung, don't die!
Eun Shi Kyung, don't die.
Eun Shi Kyung...
What did you... just say?
Comrade Eun Shi Kyung lost his life carrying out the mission...
He said he was going on vacation.
He was telling the truth. He can't lie.
He said he would come back.
He said when I finished his homework, he would return.
I practiced... and I sang...
He said he would return.
He said he would come back...
We're probably thinking the same thing right now.
"I killed him." "He died because of me."
I'm the king, and I can't keep on thinking those thoughts.
You, too.
He and I were different.
But how about me?
I'll honor you like my father.
Attention!
Salute!
At ease.
Your highness.
Is Guard Eun Shi Kyung still banned from entering into Korea?
Please lift the ban.
Let his spirit come back to us.
I order for the reinstatement of Eun Shi Kyung's position.
I am Martin Kaimer, the prosecutor at ICC.
Please provide me with short and clear answers to my questions.
When the proof was filmed, was there any trap or conciliation from the Korean king?
Did you attempt to kill the Korean king, Lee Jae Kang and queen, Park Hyun Joo?
I learned one thing from all this.
I can't have any needless emotions.
It just becomes poisonous.
We're legal counselors for Club M.
We have a bail request for John Mayer.
They can't allow a bail.
No way. You know what we went through to get him.
I will consult with the royal court legal advisers.
You might have to stay around a little longer.
South Korea strongly claims you can flee.
What about the Americans and the Chinese we paid off?
They're writing a petition with influential politicians.
All the politicians that took our bribe, tell them I'll make it public.
No, just do it.
Then we get hurt, too.
If we're going to get them to their senses, we need to cut off a few fingers.
Don't they know who's captured right now?
I'll get the action underway, regardless of the consequences.
Pressure the North and South Korea. A bit more push, and they'll be done.
Really? Seriously?
Yes, we're open for foreign laborers even on the weekends.
There are mobile currency exchange centers that can visit...
Sorry.
Yes, mother.
I served breakfast this morning, and now I'm volunteering at the bank.
I'm pretty good now.
Don't worry.
Don't think about anything. Just get plenty of rest.
Yes, mother.
Who were you talking to?
A man?
I wish I had a man to talk to on the phone.
You must be tired.
No, I'm having fun.
Mother used to do this...
They're saying August 15 is a good date for our wedding.
Royal family advisers picked that day, too.
Hello? Why aren't you saying anything?
You don't want to do it?
What're you saying? I guess it won't be bad to never get married...
No way, we went through so much to get to where we are now.
Oh, can you come an hour earlier when you come for the filming for the marketing promotions.
Yes.
I'll buy you delicious cake before the filming.
Let's wear jeans and caps, and enjoy a date.
We can hold hands...
Is that okay?
Wedding preparation.... Marketing events...
We're so busy. How can we?
I'm just saying we should use the spare moments for us.
If you don't want to, forget it.
I'll have to go with someone else.
I know there's a lot of pretty girls there.
Should I just date them?
We can really act like normal couples, drinking coffee and eating cake?
Yes.
The sun is shining today.
Maybe we should have a drink sitting at the cafe.
No thanks.
When the next event is over, I'll head right over.
-Wait for me. -Okay.
See you soon.
This one is good.
The decisions were already made. Why the sudden change with the Americans?
That's not all. They won't negotiate for the currency rate.
And they want to cancel the H1-B Visa quota.
They're putting financial pressure on us.
Why?
And the director of the U.S. National Security Council wants to talk with you.
I believe it has something to do with all this.
I'll get directly to the point.
We're getting ready for a petition, so that John Mayer can get bail.
232 politicians.
The U.S., China and many other countries are getting involved.
Putting John Mayer under arrest is a tragedy of international contradictions.
It's a tragedy to the Korean royal family as well.
-He's indispensable. -He's a murderer.
The court will make a judgment.
So I recommend that you help us get John Mayer on bail.
Otherwise, Korea will experience much more sanctions.
Is that what this financial pressure is all about?
Did you get it already? So it's going to be easy now.
Hello?
Is it your own personal request to get John Mayer out on bail,
or is it a formal request from the U.S. government?
Well, it's part of U.S. politician's opinions.
But as you know, I am the director of the U.S. National Security Council.
Really? I'm the king of South Korea.
It's not the stance of the American government, but it's not a personal stance either...
I should interpret what that means...
I don't know much about that.
Don't bother calling me unless you have a formal stance from the U.S. government.
Ask for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chief of the Finances Department.
It's rare that he would call you personally on the phone.
We're in a difficult situation.
If this continues for 6 months, it will have a detrimental effect on our recovering economy.
It's true that their request to you for John Mayer's bail was inappropriate.
But he'll still go through the trial...
Still, bail is not an option.
His bail would have an impact on the trial.
And it's very possible that he'll flee to a third country during his bail.
John Mayer must be punished.
The financial pressure would have how much impact on the...
Excuse me.
Yes.
No, I can't. Please cancel the filming for the marketing.
There's nothing I can do.
Father.
You're telling me China refuses to help us again?
There's chaos right now.
Even the original plan has been put on hold.
At this point, we even have to decrease the rations to the citizens.
We can't let Kim Bong Gu get away with this.
You know what he did to me, right?
Father, North and South must unite their strengths.
There's so much pressure on North Korea.
So if Kim Bong Gu gets out on bail, you think China will reward us?
"Delay the trial."
"Pressure the North and South to withdraw the case."
He'll keep on controlling us.
This is a South Korean problem.
I mean...
Can't you just be a good housewife?
Father!
It's my duty as a wife to support the king.
You told me yourself that I should become a South Korean.
What do we do?
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.
Kim Bong Gu is driving me crazy.
North Korea will support you.
The representatives will be going to the ICC.
And...
I will go, too.
What?
Isn't a big part of Kim Bong Gu's crime that he tried to break up the peace in North and South?
In such circumstances, people who hold symbolic importance should go.
You and I are symbolic people of our nations.
No, you can't. Kidnapping, imprisonment...
What's going to be next?
I'm trying to help you.
-Please... -I just want you to stay out of this.
Until Kim Bong Gu serves his sentence... No even just until his trials...
Can't you just stay by my side?
The most important thing right now is to punish Kim Bong Gu as soon as possible.
ICC is a political fight.
South Korea, you alone, are fighting.
That's why North Korea, I, will help you.
I'm fine. Don't do anything.
I can't bear to see anything else happen to you.
-Then until when do I have to just sit back? -I told you already.
-Until Kim Bong Gu goes to jail. -And if he doesn't go to jail?
I have to live my life hidden in this palace in fear of him?
Yes. Just stay out of this.
What is this... Trying to get Kim Bong Gu, I'm going to die first.
If it's okay with you...
Do you remember the place you went to volunteer?
Can you visit there again?
Now? At this time?
Yes, one of the elders is sick. He's asking to see you.
The king told me to stay put.
Will it be okay?
Yes, he gave permission. He said you can go.
Where's the elder?
Are you Lee Jae Ha, the elder?
Yes.
Oh, is this the street that's being filmed for the marketing purposes?
It's 11 PM.
That street is so busy, we'll be noticed within 3 seconds.
What happens if Kim Bong Gu shows up here?
I'm scared.
It'll be fine here. We blocked off everything.
That's fine. There's nothing here.
But I'm here.
There's no warm sunlight.
But there's the moonlight.
I'm sorry.
We can't even hold hands or drink tea like normal couples.
We can't even go for a walk. I'm sorry.
Sorry for always yelling at you.
Sorry for getting angry at you.
I told you I'd make you happy, but I let so many bad things happen to you.
I'm so sorry.
That's why I can't send you.
Without you, I can't do anything anymore.
This is not scary.
Where're you going?
Let's go.
Trust me.
Oh, no! What if we die?
Comrade Lee Jae Ha, can we go on this one more time?
This is my favorite.
Comrade Lee Jae Ha, are you okay?
Just one sip...
They say if this shoelace is untied, that means someone is thinking about you.
I wonder who's thinking about you.
Weren't we on the same journey?
Don't look at me just as a woman.
Think of me as a person walking hand in hand with you.
Even a wheel barrel with only one wheel is unstable.
You really must go?
-Comrade Lee Jae Ha. -I'm not your comrade.
Fine. I'm Kim Bong Gu. What're you gonna do?
I'm going to the ICC. Kim Bong Gu is at the U.N....
How do you know when you'll come face to face with him?
I'm Kim Bong Gu.
What'll you do if you meet him?
Sorry for the late introduction.
I'm Kim Hang Ah, the fiancee of the South Korean king.
The South Koreans call me the woman from the North.
I'm glad to see you.
You made my man cry bloody tears?
-Today's your funeral day. -I'll be good.
If you tell me what you want, I'll...
Just three days.
You can go.
You know I'm always by your side, right?
I'll come back safely.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Hang Ah, representing North Korea.
Nice to meet you. My name is Martin Kaimer.
I'm the chief prosecutor here at ICC.
Actually, I'm in charge of John Mayer's case.
John Mayer owns corporations in 42 countries.
He owns over 30 residences in 27 different countries.
His people have been known to create fake IDs and passports.
Excuse me, could you please make it short?
I'm telling you that there is danger of fleeing.
There's also high possibility that he will spoil the evidence.
Even with the late king's assassination, he created the fake EP070 cell phone...
I'm sorry, but John Mayer's bail has been approved 20 minutes ago.
Wasn't the trial for the bail set for 2 weeks later?
This is a digression of the chief of justice.
What's the reason?
Because his health was deteriorating.
If the bail was set today, isn't there still 3 days left before the decisions are carried out?
Did you already carry out the decisions?
It's useless.
The justice department made the decision.
Petitions from many influential leaders have been approved.
We have thousands of petitions as well...
I'm sorry.
But there's too much gap between the respective influence weight.
Your opponent is the United States of America.
If you're finished, we're gonna leave now.
We flew here for 14 hours.
How can you not even give us 5 minutes?
I deal with many countries as the chief prosecutor.
Is there any reason for me to talk to the North Korean representative for more than 2 minutes?
What's wrong with our country? Why are we so powerless?
I guess your status in North Korea has gone up?
After all, you're getting married to the South Korean king.
It's all thanks to your husband.
I hear you got your bail due to your health deterioration.
You don't seem too sick.
The influential leaders of the world have recognized my heartache.
I'm sure you felt anxious with your imprisonment approaching.
-Your wedding preparation's going well? -As long as you don't interfere.
But I'm going to. I'll make you fight.
Bombing?
Yes.
You mean Washington has decided to attack North Korea?
No. We're talking about it just as a physical action measure.
But the important thing is that these things are being mentioned over and over again.
Are you happy?
What do you mean?
I told you not to mention anything that's not a formal stance.
Please answer truthfully to the following questions.
Has Washington decided to attack North Korea?
It's a U.S. military strategy.
We never tell foreigners.
And we won't tell Korea.
We have no obligation to do so.
But if we do, we do.
And if we don't, well we don't.
I guess you're right.
Don't worry about this too much.
No decisions have been made yet.
But since it's directly related to national security, I'll come again.
Good luck.
If you do decide to attack North Korea, the U.S. won't be allowed one step into South Korea.
Will that be alright?
It'll be hard for Lee Jae Ha to resolve.
He's only a king.
He's the head of the state, but that's just title. He's weak...
You should've just stayed put.
You should've just gotten manipulated and disappeared.
Oh no, your eyes tell me you're scared.
The most important thing in assassination training is that.
Making sure you don't show feelings through your eyes.
You can't do it.
Do you feel that much pressure?
You're pretty funny.
I'm going to send Lee Jae Ha an email today.
It'll be a wedding gift.
Read it with him.
I'll tell you how North Korea can survive in this world.
Oh, right. It'll be hard for South Korea to survive as well.
Not when there's a war with a neighbor.
Control your eyes.
They moved.
He wants us to withdraw the lawsuits against him.
And he wants us to change the national defense to his liking.
This will avoid American... This can't be.
He wants you to sell over the nation.
But what about the talk about the war?
I think he's bluffing, but what if it's true?
There's always been a danger of war.
But if that danger gets bigger because of our wedding...
You haven't done anything wrong. They're just trying to put the blame on you.
They're planning a psychological warfare.
You can't fall for it.
But Kim Bong Gu follows through on his words.
Even if there's a 1% chance of war, shouldn't we stop it?
Your highness, you have two options.
One, fulfill all of Kim Bong Gu's requests and abdicate from the throne.
You'd be surrendering and handing over the nation,
just because of a war threat that's always been there.
Two, aside from surrendering, try out every strategy to avoid war.
If you were a citizen, which king would you choose?
Let's start with foreign affairs.
King Lee Jae Ha and his fiancee, Kim Hang Ah, started on their journey to visit 20 different nations today.
This is the first time in royal family history to visit 20 nations at once.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs as well as 76 corporate leaders are accompanying them.
I'm very sorry.
Guard Eun Shi Kyung asked me to give you this if anything happened to him.
I was too late in getting this to you.
What is this?
This was his personal security box at the royal family bank.
What's the passcode?
8..6..0..3... 8603?
Hold on.
It's my birthday.
He's something else... Who uses video cassettes these days?
This is the only place in the palace that you can view this.
His room.
When I was promoted, I got his room.
I wanted to throw this out because it's so old.
It's a good thing I didn't.
Is this recording?
I was going to write you a letter, but I have bad handwriting...
Is this recording?
Before, that ki...
Kiss...
I'm sorry.
I was a coward.
I'm dull and boring.
I thought you would get sick of me if I let you know.
That's why I was just going to keep my feelings to myself...
I couldn't do it.
Since the first time I met you, I liked you.
You were so free-spirited and confident.
Qualities I don't have.
I thought tens of thousands of times...
I wanted to be someone that you could like.
I know I wasn't a good match for you.
That's why I got the courage this time.
I want to be someone that would be a good match for you.
If you get to see this...
No... It's nothing.
I'm sure you won't get to see this. It's not like I'm going there to die.
I'll return as a better man.
I'm bringing this joke book.
There's no more of this boring man.
Humor... Sense of humor.
I'll return bold and confident like you.
And...
When I return, I will tell you in person...
I love you.
Salute!
King Lee Jae Ha attended a supper with the German prime minister.
They have a joint itinerary to visit 5 major cities in Europe...
They haven't responded about the present at all?
No.
What about the U.S.?
The congressmen they're trying hard.
But they seem to be having some difficulty making an issue out of the North Korean attacks,
without causing political oppositions.
Besides, the North and the South are in a peaceful mood right now.
No more excuses.
Really?
I'll have to create an excuse then.
The bombing terror in Michigan has led to 40 casualties.
The suicide bombers were identified as North Koreans.
There were 40 casualties in the state of Michigan due to a terror attack.
The terrorists were found to be of North Korean nationality.
Connect to the White House.
Sir, North Korea made a terror attack on us.
How long are we going to tolerate this?
Your highness...
The North Korean terror attack is so grave and unfortunate,
we're seriously considering a severe physical reaction.
We're prepared to resolve this situation by any means necessary.
Let's go back to Korea.
You're sure?
The suicide bombers were not North Koreans?
I see. Look!
We should still confirm.
Why would the U.S. do this so suddenly?
Did you look into China?
Things look suspicious.
They have to have a reason for doing this to us.
They're not just bluffing.
These Americans...
Why did you make peace agreements with South Korea?
Now even the Americans are out to get us because of them!
We made the agreement for times like this.
We need to ask South Korea for help.
It's hard for us to find out if the U.S. intended on whether they would bomb us or not.
Even if we deny anything, it just looks like a political gesture to them.
The more we deny, the bigger the problem gets.
So?
You want to ask the South to act as an arbitrator?
You think the South cares about us more than they care about the U.S.?
Are you thinking about fighting the U.S.?
That can't be.
If that happens, we all die.
We need to quietly ask the South to act as the mediator between the North and the U.S.
Yes?
Hello, Mr. President. This is Mike Taylor, ROK-US combined forces command.
Yes, I heard.
The Def-con was raised to level 3.
Level 3 signifies that there are signs of an approaching war.
The last time Korea hit this level was back in 1976.
Did you contact South Korea?
I did.
They said they're in contact with the U.S. government.
They claim this is just a political step due to the terrorist incident.
Then why..
At this level, the warfare plans are handed over to the ROK-US CFC.
The USFK increase the number of soldiers in Korea.
North Korea is put on the radar screen, and the army starts preparations for counter-attacks.
Do you see?
This is the response from South Korea after 3 years of joint collaboration.
Prepare for the announcement.
-Comrade... -Kim Nam Il!
Get out if you're going to continue talking about working together with the South!
We proclaim that the minute the U.S. attacks Pyung Yang,
we'll counter-attack Seoul, and make it into a sea of fire.
Our good-relations with the South has crumbled.
What's wrong with them?
When did we betray them?
-Who's in charge of guarding the king today? -It's Guard Yeom Dong Ha.
Tell him to contact me.
Yes. What?
Did you watch the news? It's an emergency.
Don't ask anything, do as I order.
Still... How can we...
Yes. I understand.
Should we get off now?
You just need to get off by yourself.
Why?
Ms. Kim Hang Ah's father is waiting.
-My father? -Yes, he wants to see you.
Where is he? I want to see him, too.
He wants to see his daughter alone.
Huh? Why?
I'll escort both of you to the palace after. Your highness, you should return first.
Go first. I'll be there soon.
Father!
It's raining a lot.
Father, you said you were buying me dinner. Why are we here?
Father!
What's going on?
You should go in first.
What's going on?
The Def-con has been raised to level 3.
-What? -9 AM this morning,
our warfare plans have already been handed over to the ROK-US CFC.
Father! What are you doing?
Tell me!
North Korea announced they'll attack Seoul.
It's war.
U.S. declared they'd attack Pyung Yang.
And if that happens, Pyung Yang will attack Seoul.
What about Hang Ah?
I begged the South Korean's Ministry of Unification to allow us to enter the North safely.
No. I can't go to the North like this!
-Where's Hang Ah?! -Comrade Lee Jae Ha!
Father!
