The Last Princess Page #5

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

Take care of my brother.

King Yeongchin has been taken. The Queen and

Princess Deok Hye are inside this building.

Keep them in there.

Make sure there are no other

exits!

This is the Queen.

Where?

Over here!

This way! This way!

Hurry!

We don't see an escape path.

Both of you be careful.

I'll find a boat somehow.

I'll see you in 2 days.

Take care of yourself.

The Princess, too.

Please be careful.

That son of a b*tch.

Kill them!

Are you hurt?

It's all right.

(SHIZUOKA, INDEPENDENCE

FIGHTERS BASE)

Sit here.

Princess, can you help me?

Yes.

Pour on some disinfectant.

Hemostatic powder.

Just hang on.

Jang Han, wake up.

Stay with me.

How are you feeling?

Wait. Let me do it.

It's better if I do it.

I searched around and found

some potatoes.

This water is very cold.

Let me do it.

Go back in the house and rest.

I want to do it.

It's very good, Princess.

When it was cold here, we

would all drink this together.

I really feel a bit warmer.

Princess, I'm sorry this has

been hard for you.

It's all right. I can withstand it.

Tomorrow afternoon, the boat

will be here.

Just endure this a bit longer.

(IDENTIFICATION CARD)

Miyuki Fujiwara.

Beautiful happiness.

I hope the name I picked for

you makes you happy.

When we get to Shanghai, I would like

to teach Korean to the Joseon children.

Princess, have you ever had

5-spices pork?

When we get to Shanghai, I will

take you to a good restaurant.

Thank you.

Luckily we still have 3 potatoes

left.

We can give one to Bok Dong.

Princess, just a moment.

The sea breeze is very cold.

Stop!

Stay here and don't move.

Take cover!

Princess, from now on you'll

have to go alone.

Follow this path until you find

the trail.

Keep going down the trail until

you come to the shore.

At the beach you will find a

place where the boat is hidden.

No! I absolutely can't go alone!

Let's go together!

I'll cover you and then follow.

No matter what happens,

don't ever look back.

Just keep running straight ahead.

Princess, just give me 10 minutes.

In 10 minutes, I'll come and

find you.

I will definitely protect you,

understand?

Go now.

Stop!

Let's go.

Over here.

Stop.

It's here.

Take cover!

Over here!

Bok Dong! Over here!

Here!

Princess! Princess!

Hey!

Hyeongnim!

No!

No! You can't!

No!

Don't!

(MISSING PERSON LOOKING

FOR YI DEOK HYE.)

At that time, I thought you

were dead.

At that time, I thought you

were dead.

I was caught by them and sent to the

South Pacific Islands as the scapegoat,

and was eventually released

there.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

It's all my fault that this

happened to all of you.

Hyeongnim, I'm really sorry.

I'm really sorry, hyeongnim.

Oppa! Can we have a drink?

The intestine soup is really

good here.

Really?

Welcome.

I'm so hungry.

The usual?

Yes, right here.

It's been a while.

That's right.

Just a moment.

On May 8, 1931, following the Emperor

of Japan's order, Princess Deok Hye

was compelled to marry Count

So Takeyuki of the Tsushima clan.

The Joseon people were extremely

angry upon hearing this news.

At that time, one newspaper deliberately

wiped the face off So Takeyuki.

Eventually, Princess Deok Hye

faded from people's memory.

Tokyo - So Takeyuki family

Eat something.

I had them prepare some

Korean food for you.

If this goes on, she might

really starve herself.

To get married to a Japanese

person like me...

I know was against your will.

But for me, you...

are not a Korean person nor a

Japanese person.

You are only my wife.

So I...

will do my best for you to

live happily.

(SO TAKEYUKI)

I'm a reporter from South Korea.

We are looking for the whereabouts

of Princess Deok Hye...

I do not...

want to be involved with any

of her issues.

How can you say you don't

want to be involved?

She was your wife, wasn't she?

I will rely on you.

You surely must understand.

Go back.

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

It's all right.

Stop this!

What are you doing?

You are the one who should stop!

I will call the police.

Why are you hiding her?

You abandoned the princess twice!

Who are...

Just who are you?

These are Deok Hye's things.

It may be helpful to restore

her memory.

That was...

her favorite record to play.

That is our daughter, So Masae.

Her Joseon name is Jeong Hye.

Two years after Deok Hye and

I were divorced,

she committed suicide.

I did abandon Deok Hye...

but I...

never abandoned her first.

The one who left first...

was her.

(AUGUST 15, 1945)

Jeong Hye, the maple trees at Deoksu

Palace are brighter than this.

Walking between the red and

yellow trees,

do you know how happy I felt?

So I could never wait for autumn.

Like this?

Mom, I'm hungry.

Wait just a moment.

(TAKING EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO HELP

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE PEOPLE, )

(THE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT DECLARES SURRENDER TO THE

UNITED STATES, BRITAIN, CHINA, AND THE SOVIET UNION.)

Japan has surrendered.

Mom.

Let's go now. Let's go home.

(SHIMONOSEKI PORT)

Next one, please.

You may pass.

Next!

Why can't I?

Let go of me! Let go! Let go!

Shut up!

Don't move! Keep in line!

Is it okay if we go home?

Didn't I tell you?

Japan lost the war.

Now we can go back to Joseon.

What about Father?

If the war is over, Father will

also come back.

From now on, you must forget

about your father.

From now on, you aren't

part of the So family.

You're a Korean named Jeong

Hye. Okay?

If we can return to Joseon,

they should welcome us.

I have waited for almost 20

years. Waiting for 20 years.

Next.

So Deok Hye.

Your guardian, So Takeyuki,

where is he?

He is still in military service.

What is your Joseon name?

Yi Deok Hye.

Are you... Princess Deok Hye?

Yes, that's right.

(NOT ALLOWED)

Joseon will not allow you to return home.

Why am I not allowed?

Joseon has put your name on

their rejection list.

Next.

Excuse me! Why am I being

rejected?

- I'm from Joseon! I'm Deok Hye!

- Next!

- But why?

- What are you doing?

- Wait! Wait! Wait!

- Mom!

Why am I being rejected?

I'm from Joseon!

Mom! Mom! Are you all right?

Are you all right?

I'm Deok Hye from Joseon.

I'm Deok Hye from Joseon.

I'm from Joseon.

It's been a long time, Princess.

This world has changed again.

Joseon has unexpectedly

recovered.

Isn't that such wonderful news?

Oh, you must be Jeong Hye.

You've gotten big.

Step away! Step away!

Mom!

Didn't I tell you this before?

Princess, you will never be

able to step foot in Joseon.

Are you Mr. Han?

Yes, my name is Taek Su Han.

Please, come this way.

Mom.

Princess Deok Hye again

attempted to return home,

but at the time, the government

was concerned about stability,

and they refused to allow any

Joseon Royalty to return home.

Yang Deok Hye. She even changed

her name to her mother's name.

So that's why we couldn't

find her.

How did the Princess become

like that?

I guess it would be good to forget everything

in your life and just live happily.
