The Last Princess Page #6

Who can understand her grief?

Just what exactly does royalty

or homeland mean?

Do you regret it?

What?

All that happened to you for

the sake of the homeland.

No.

What about you?

I don't either.

Yes. Yang Deok Hye is here.

Is that true?

But without a family certificate,

you won't be able to see her.

She is the Joseon princess.

This reporter has come all the

way from South Korea to see her.

May I please see her just once?

I beg you.

How about it?

Please.

Up until now, she has not had

anyone come to visit her.

According to our records,

there have been 15 times

she has tried to commit suicide.

Suicide?

Come in.

I want to go out.

Let me out of here!

Let me out.

Let me out!

I want out of here.

This is it.

(6TH KOREA-JAPAN TALKS)

Prime Minister Ikeda's position on the

Korea-Japan economic agreement is very positive.

After returning home, we will

conduct specific negotiations.

Please continue your questions.

I am reporter Lee Jeong Oh

of the People's Daily newspaper.

Will detailed negotiations be

carried out in the future?

Of course, they must. But at

this stage, we have no specifics.

Due to our schedule, we can

only take one more question.

I am Reporter Sin Tae Yun of

Dongsin News.

Prior to most of the talks with

the Prime Minister...

Who is he?

I am Kim Jang Han from

Seoul News.

We realize that achieving normal Korea-Japan

diplomatic relations is a major issue.

But first, we must restore our

national pride.

You know the last royal family of the

Korean Empire has been abandoned in Japan.

Why have they still been

unable to return home?

Today's press conference is only regarding

the Korea-Japan economic agreement.

This is both shameful and a

disgrace to us.

They used to be the royal family

of the Korean Empire.

They were abandoned while an enemy

stole and ravaged this land!

You can't continue to ignore

this!

Chairman!

You did such a great thing.

What's going on now? Why

write this stuff about royalty?

As a reporter, I only do what

needs to be done.

Don't you love your country?

Let him go.

Chairman Pak wants to see you.

I heard you were a senior officer

in the Imperial Army,

but still involved in the

independence movement.

You don't want to serve in the

revolutionary government?

I don't support this current

government.

You're very cool.

But, why has King Yeongchin

not returned home?

President Lee Seung Man who

took power after the liberation,

rejected requests by the Joseon

royal family to return home.

Chairman, the King and his family

did not voluntarily go to Japan.

They were forced to go.

It was wrong for us to refuse to let

them come home and abandon them.

How do you want our

government to help you?

King Yeongchin and Princess Deok Hye,

restore their nationality to them,

and allow them to come home.

Princess Deok Hye? Who is

Princess Deok Hye?

Welcome.

How did it go?

Long live!

Everyone! Tonight, everything

is on the house!

Really?

Thank you!

(PATIENT:
YANG DEOK HYE /

GUARDIAN:
KIM JANG HAN)

Be careful.

I'll go finish the paperwork.

Please wait a moment.

Yes.

Princess.

Princess.

Do you remember me?

I am Jang Han.

Kim Jang Han.

"Jang meaning Seal. Han meaning endurance.

Kim Jang Han."

"Princess, just give me 10

minutes."

"In 10 minutes, I'll come and

find you, understand?"

No matter what happens,

don't ever look back.

Just keep running straight ahead.

I will definitely protect you.

We don't have much time!

We must hurry and escape

from here!

That's right. We will.

We will escape from here and

go away.

You can now return to your

homeland, Princess.

Why have you just come now?

It's been more than 10 minutes.

I have been waiting for you

for such a long time.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Princess.

I'm sorry that I couldn't

protect you.

(JANUARY 26,1962 GIMPO

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, SOUTH KOREA)

This way, please.

Okay.

Princess.

You have now returned to

your homeland.

Agassi! Agassi! Agassi!

Agassi, you have returned!

Agassi! Agassi!

It's been 38 years!

Agassi, please receive our

respects!

Welcome home, Princess.

Welcome!

(ACCESS PROHIBITED)

Princess, I'll go buy a soda

for you.

Please wait here for me.

Agassi! Agassi!

My child.

You've worked hard, my child.

Deok Hye.

Princess. Princess.

As a princess of Joseon, I have

a lot inadequacies.

No, Princess.

No. I wasn't able to become

the hope of my people.

I was powerless to do anything

for them.

Everyone will think of me

like that.

At least for me, you have always

given me strength.

You have always been my

motivation.
