but the decision will be yours.

If you refuse,

the entire Joseon royal family

will be in imminent danger.

Please understand this very

clearly.

We will send clothes over again.

This time, don't play any games.

I used to be a housemaid.

Did you know?

Mother.

I have a favor to ask.

You have to promise me.

I've always wanted to wash your

feet for you.

Can't you just say this time

that you're unable to go?

I'll come back as soon as I

finish my studies. Don't worry.

Princess, you must come back.

No matter what happens,

you must come back.

I will.

Mother, just call me Deok Hye.

I really want to hear you say my

name again. It's my wish.

Be sure to always bring this

thermos with you.

In an enemy country, you can't

drink just any cup of water.

Always remember how your

father passed away.

Yes, Mother.

I'm going.

Agassi! Agassi!

Seonim! Seonim!

[Eldest brother]

How long since we last met?

It's already been 30 years.

Seonim.

We meet again like this in Japan.

Let's go.

This way.

(LEE BANG JA (MASAKO NASHIMOTO) WIFE

OF CROWN PRINCE EUN (KING YEONGCHIN))

After the war ended,

all of our assets were returned

to the South Korean government.

Life has been very difficult.

His Majesty has always longed

for his homeland.

Recently, we heard news that the

Princess was missing.

Do you happen to know her

whereabouts?

His Majesty has felt very guilty

toward the Princess.

He was afraid people would

laugh at her.

Apparently, every month he

sent money to some people,

but he never told me who it was.

I hope you will help me look for

the Princess.

(PRINCE AKASAKA HOTEL, FORMER

RESIDENCE OF CROWN PRINCE EUN)

Do you have a reservation?

Would it be okay if I just looked

around?

Okay.

Thank you.

2nd lieutenant Kim of the

Japanese Imperial Army.

(KING YEONGCHIN [CROWN

PRINCE EUN], SON OF GOJONG)

You've finally arrived.

You've finally arrived.

This is the 2nd lieutenant just

appointed as my aide.

This is Princess Deok Hye.

It's nice to meet you.

This is my wife.

I am Masako. We have been

waiting for you.

Are you that Korean?

The one who graduated in 2nd

place from the military academy?

Yes, that's right.

I am Han Taek Su, the royal

advisor.

It's too bad.

It you had been born in Japan,

it would have been better.

I think my loyalty to the emperor

would not have been diminished.

Unpack and get ready for dinner.

How about a cup of tea before dinner?

Princess.

I am Jang Han.

How can you be here?

The Japanese uniform suits you.

When we heard you were coming,

we had them prepare sashimi.

Well, let's eat.

I will enjoy the meal,

Your Highness.

This is quite delicious.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm still not used to this type of

food.

A Japanese Imperial soldier

still can't eat this.

Try something. You might love it

as much as I do.

How is it?

Very good.

I'm glad.

I guess I will come to enjoy

sashimi.

Our Princess still hasn't developed

a taste for sashimi.

Why did you postpone my

return home?

Since I've already graduated,

please keep your promise.

Deok Hye, let's discuss this

matter later.

Korea and Japan are one.

As Japan and Korea are one,

is there still a need for you

to return?

I'll request the royal family to

arrange a good marriage for you.

Your joking has gone too far.

My stomach doesn't feel well,

so I'll leave first.

Your Highness, eat a bit of this.

I suppose the Queen sent this

for me.

Please just eat a little.

Today I was really craving some

Korean food.

Your Highness, I'm sure you'll be able

to return, so just be a little patient.

After we get back, I'll make you

some extra spicy kimchi soup.

(PRINCE YI WU, GOJONG'S GRANDSON)

It's been a long time, Aunt.

I thought you were in Shanghai.

I came back not long ago.

Have you been doing well?

How would that be possible?

I keep waiting for the day I can

return to Joseon.

Let's go. I'll send you back

to Joseon.

You've come.

Is everyone here?

Yes. Please come in.

Come this way.

I'm sorry we're late.

Welcome.

Comrade Kim, is everything

going smoothly?

Very smoothly.

Good work.

Please come over here.

This side.

Your attention.

This is my aunt, Princess Deok Hye.

- Welcome.

- We are Joseon students studying abroad.

You're very welcome.

Hello. I'm Yi Deok Hye.

Now that everyone is here,

let's begin the meeting.

We found this.(EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF JAPAN-KOREA UNITY. THE

NUMBER OF KOREAN WORKERS IS INCREASING.)

(EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF JAPAN-KOREA UNITY. THE

NUMBER OF KOREAN WORKERS IS INCREASING.)

The conditions for Korean workers

are worse than we imagined.

It's completely different than

what is reported in the news.

They live collectively together.

Children who should go to school

are also enslaved.

A lot of the children have had their

fingers pinched off by machinery.

Japanese managers even collect

the fingers that fall on the ground.

Then they play catch with the

children.

These damned workers are

really nothing but slaves.

Let's all discuss this and find a

way we can help our people.

Welcome!

What happened?

The police are on their way here.

There must be an intelligence leak.

Please leave quickly and hide.

The Japanese police are coming!

Clean it up!

I'll go down and stall them.

Please take care of the Princess.

Comrade Kim.

Hurry up!

I'll take you home.

Quickly!

Open the door!

Wait just a moment!

This way!

It must be this way!

I'm sorry.

Don't be. You're not that

kind of person.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

In the future, you must continue

to misunderstand.

Do you hear news from Joseon?

I can only read what's in the

Japanese newspapers.

It's impossible to read news

that's really true.

Starting this year, I haven't even

received any news from my mother.

Probably someone is intercepting

her letters to me.

I will check into it and see if I

can help.

I never dared to imagine I'd

finally have someone on my side.

I will rely on you from now on.

Princess.

We plan to help King Yeongchin

flee to Shanghai.

Let's go with him.

Princess, you must come back.

No matter what happens,

you must come back.

Hello. You haven't been here in

a while.

I'll show you to your table.

I'll take it.

This is General Tadao Yoshida.

This one is the actual person in

charge of vehicle inspection.

They are our main targets at the

New Era celebration.

The key is having enough

explosives.

We must figure out a way to

get those.

What is the reason the King

is still hesitant to flee?

Because of the Queen.

She can't.

She is from the Emperor of

Japan's bloodline.

It seems the Queen...

is pregnant.

That was unexpected.

The people in Shanghai are trying to

arrange a new marriage for the King.

Does that make any sense?

For the sake of legitimacy of

Joseon, there is no other choice.

His Majesty will absolutely not

go alone.

Commander, there is no other way.

You must go and persuade
