The Last Princess Page #3

Synopsis: "The Last Princess" is both a drama and an action film that is based upon the life of Princess Deok-hye (1912-1989) who was born into Korea's last royal family in 1912 as the youngest and only daughter of the last King of Jo-seon, ex-Emperor Gojong and his concubine Yang Gui-in. In truth, her sad and tragic life was shaped at the highest levels of the Japanese Imperial family and its government, and carried out by their Korean collaborators - a path that led to Japanese political ends at the expense of her personal happiness. Two years before her birth, the Japanese Imperial Army surrounded Gwang-bok-gong Palace with artillery batteries with orders to shoot while Japanese officials inside the Palace coerced Emperor Su-jong's (King Go-jong's son) cabinet to approve Korea's annexation to the Japan Empire. After her beloved father suddenly died from poisoning in 1919 - allegedly by the occupying Japanese - the Japanese forced Princess Deokye to leave Korea and her family for an education

the provisional government.

Okay.

The uprising will surely succeed

this time.

The day of Joseon independence

is nearly within our reach.

Yes.

We have a guest.

He was sent by the Shanghai

provisional government.

Japan is far better than I had

imagined.

We've finally come back.

Did everything go well?

I want to return to Joseon.

You are very much needed in

Shanghai, Your Highness.

I miss my mother very much.

I understand.

Officer, I have a favor to ask.

Please go ahead.

For the workers' children, I would

like to set up a Korean school.

After meeting those students the other day,

I felt our Royal Family has no presence.

In any case, I'd like to help them.

Princess! Princess!

Princess, you're so beautiful!

You're all wrong! This one is

not the Princess!

She's over there!

She's over there!

- Princess! Princess!

- Hello everyone.

Princess!

That isn't necessary.

Please get up.

They thought I was the Princess.

Bok Sun, your name means

you're lucky, right?

Me too.

Sure, take one.

Thank you.

How old are you?

I'm 33.

You're older than me.

(JOSEON HANGEUL SCHOOL)

Let's take a picture!

Don't look so unhappy!

Smile!

Just count to 3 and take it.

Smile! 1 - 2 - 3!

"Please forgive me for entering your

room without permission. Kim Jang Han"

Your Highness, this letter was brought

to you by Young Master Jang Han.

These people actually want to

stop our contact with each other.

How much are you suffering

while you are there?

I am powerless to do anything

except miss you.

I hope you can quickly return and

fill the void in our Royal Family.

Please stay healthy.

It's nice that there's still a place

we can hear Joseon music.

Thank you for doing this.

I won't forget your help.

Stay strong, Your Highness.

I'll come back later.

It's all right.

I have prepared a special gift for

Your Highness.

Oh, it splashed me.

"Kiss me fire!"

The Princess doesn't drink.

I never said that.

I'll drink it.

Drink it more slowly.

You'll get drunk.

Very tasty.

Please give me another one.

How about a margarita?

Not too strong.

Not too strong?

A little stronger.

A little stronger?

Call me when you two decide.

It's so pretty!

I could die from happiness!

Next time, I'll give you

something new.

But, isn't it a bit too small?

No! It fits me perfectly!

Bok Sun, could you make some

porridge for me?

I think I drank too much

last night.

Sure.

Would you also call Officer

Jang Han?

What?

What?

Okay.

I have important matters to discuss

with the Princess, so please leave.

I said leave.

It's okay. You can go.

Yes.

What do you have to say?

There was a labor uprising at

Daito Industries.

We need you to go there and

make a speech.

In front of my oppressed fellow

countrymen, you want me to read this?

Oppressed?

They voluntarily came here.

I can't do it.

This was a request from the

Japan royal family.

Please say it clearly. By request,

you mean an order.

If you refuse, it will become

an order.

I can't do it.

If you give the speech, I'll send

you back to Joseon.

(ROYAL CONSORT YANG IN

CRITICAL CONDITION.)

Princess, you can't do it.

If you issue a pro-Japanese

speech now,

all of our previous efforts will

be for nothing.

This doesn't mean a step

backward.

Princess, don't forget you are the

last pride of the Joseon Royal Family.

Before I am a princess, I am the

daughter of a critically ill mother.

Princess.

I'm tired.

Leave now.

In order to encourage the Joseon workers in

their hard work for our great Emperor of Japan,

there will be a special speech.

The speech will be given by Princess Yi

Deok Hye of the Joseon Royal Family.

Friends and countrymen from

far away,

for the sake of the great Emperor

of Japan, we Joseon people,

in order to build a strong nation

for the Emperor of Japan,

we all stand at the forefront.

I feel this is a very great honor.

A lot of the children have had their

fingers pinched off by machinery.

They live collectively together.

Children who should go to school

are also enslaved.

These damned workers are

really nothing but slaves.

My countrymen,

I am Joseon Princess Yi Deok Hye.

What is she saying?

- She is speaking in Korean.

- Today, I am standing here,

and for all of you,

I am unable to do anything at all.

For that, I feel very ashamed.

You all must have hope and

continue to work hard.

But don't forget,

we still wish to return to our

homeland.

At this moment, we have family

members waiting for us.

So please don't lose hope.

Please don't ever give up.

We will reclaim that which has

been taken from us.

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo

Over Arirang Pass I

long to cross today.

Send us back to Joseon!

Princess! Princess!

Let us go back to Joseon!

I'm extremely sorry!

We want to return to Joseon!

Soon. Just wait for a while.

Please help me go home!

Princess! Princess!

I will take the Princess.

Yes.

Let's go. This way.

Get out!

How dare you! How dare you

strike the Princess!

You bastard!

You son of a b*tch!

Why don't you go straight to hell!

You crazy b*tch!...

- Minister.

- Let go!

People are watching.

Princess.

Are you all right?

Han Taek Su is getting more and

more abusive.

Using protection of the Royal

Family as an excuse,

he has even had soldiers

stationed inside the house.

He doesn't suspect anything,

does he?

It seems he just wants to monitor

the Princess.

This has me worried.

Uncle, how about we get rid of

Han Taek Su?

Who is it?

Your Highness.

Princess, are you not able to

sleep?

You don't need to worry.

I heard the troops will be

withdrawn soon.

Bok Sun.

Yes, Your Highness.

I'm sorry.

If not for you, I could never

have endured any of this.

Aigoo. Aigoo. My princess.

Stay strong.

I will always be by your side

to protect you.

Why are you together?

Take her away!

Yes!

Let go!

What do you think you're doing?

I have instructions to send

Bok Sun back to Joseon.

Who gave you these instructions?

What are you waiting for?

Yes.

- Don't!

- Your Highness!

Bok Sun! No!

- Bok Sun! Bok Sun!

- Your Highness!

Minister Han, who gave you

these instructions?

- Bok Sun!

- Your Highness!

Control her.

Bok Sun!

Come here.

That's enough! That's enough.

Bok Sun, I will think of a way.

Just go with them for now.

Please stop! Please stop!

Your Highness.

Bok Sun! Bok Sun!

Hurry and go!

I want you to go.

That's an order.

Are you not listening to me?

Your Highness.

Please take care.

I know. Go quickly.

I promise you,

if I return to Joseon,

I will surely find you.

Yes, Your Highness.

Bok Sun.

And I promise you.

The day will never come that you

set foot on Joseon soil again.

It's Jang Han.

Come in.

Even if those people try to stop

me, I will return to Joseon.

Even if there's no one to help me,

I want to see my mother.

Princess, some news has come

from Joseon.

Is there news of Bok Sun?

Royal Consort Yang has passed

away.

When did she pass away?

I heard it was yesterday.
