Original subtitles

Thank you.

Sir, may I use your phone for an international call?

Where did you come from? You don't sound like a local.

From nearby.

Wait here.

Sit.

Thank you.

Leave!

Pardon?

Run away! Hurry, go!

Name?

Kim Hang Ah.

Are you the fiancée of the South Korean king?

There are so many defectors lately impersonating Kim Hang Ah.

Verify it.

Don't you dare glare at me.

You came into our country illegally.

Listen to me quietly

or you'll be dead in a blink.

Translator.

Are you taking good care of Kim Hang Ah?

We won't let you have her.

We'll follow the protocol.

Of course, but your rules allow you to hold her for a month, right?

Do you know why I didn't kill Kim Hang Ah?

Because you guys were pressuring me?

No.

She's the Joker card.

The very card that can turn the peninsula upside down.

How do you plan to use her?

You'll find out soon enough.

Hey!

Stop or you'll be treated like the others. Strip searches and forced labor.

How annoying!

The wound on my arm really hurts.

When is the doctor coming?

Bear it for a week. You'll be examined

when you're transferred.

Transferred? Where?

How should I know? Go to sleep!

Geez!

What's wrong?

TUMEN BORDER PATROL ADMINISTRATION

Your Majesty.

Sorry about that.

Have we checked the legal details of utilizing the ICC?

Yes, according to Article 7 of the ICC Rome Statute,

"crimes against humanity" is any widespread or systematic attack

directed against civilians with knowledge of the attack.

That applies to the attacks against the late king

and Queen Dowager.

Did you change your hobby to fishing?

At least, do something you're good at. You're bad at this.

It has been one hour, but not a single bite.

The beginning is half the battle.

I was always daunted by you.

I knew what you wanted, but I couldn't do it.

I wanted your approval, but I was lacking.

I was scared and intimidated.

And I felt small in front of you.

I think that's why

I was so angry with you.

To compensate for my complexes.

But now, I'm glad.

I think I can finally be independent.

Dad, if anything happens to me,

don't ever blame yourself.

It would

be my own choice.

I am my own person.

Did something happen?

Oh, the float! It's moving.

A bite after an hour, and you let it get away.

-Hand it over, let me try. -Use my other rod.

Give me this one. We don't need two.

Forget it.

I'll catch a fish if it's the last thing I do.

Are the objective and subjective requisites ready?

What about the correlation to policy?

It exists between the national policy and the WOC and your marriage.

We can sue him.

Good, move forward in absolute secrecy.

We'll meet again for the other details...

Forgive me for interrupting, but I have urgent news.

Captain Eun is leaving.

He still plans to go to China.

I haven't taken any time off since working here.

-I want to use my vacation days. -His Majesty has you under observation.

Because you keep trying to pull these stupid stunts!

I understand.

If you won't let me take time off...

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Hey, Eun Shi-gyeong.

Captain, what do you think you're doing?

It's no use, you're not allowed to leave the country.

You banned me from leaving, Your Majesty?

What is it?

His Majesty is not seeing anyone right now.

Speak to him from here. You're not allowed inside.

You've decided to charge him, right? So why?

China won't just let our troops come in to arrest Bong-gu.

So I should let him take me--

There are plenty of other guys to play the double agent.

And if Bong-gu kills all the agents you send?

Bong-gu knows that I'm your right-hand man.

He'll try to win me over only to give you a double blow.

So, why won't you let me?

Because I'm your friend?

Then, please rest assured.

I've never once considered you my friend.

So please

toughen up, Your Majesty!

Lee Jae-ha!

Fine, hide in there and hold onto your friends.

So, you've lost Kim Hang Ah.

And now you're terrified to lose me, too?

I've lost any feelings of guilt long ago.

So it's time for you to get it together!

-Lee Jae-ha? -We're friends, right?

You're going too far!

I promise.

I will return.

There was that bomb threat...

WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL OF JOHN MAYER'S INVESTMENT

Are we done?

Did we check every detail?

Yes.

The code...

IS IT SAFE TO TALK?

Memorized it?

Yes.

But before all that, we have to solve the problem with China.

Right, and I have a favor to ask.

Meet with Jae-shin before you go.

You know how she's doing.

And you know about her feelings.

No matter how dense you are, if you don't know that--

Do I have your permission?

To do as I wish?

So all this time, you haven't made a move on her?

Your permission?

Not as a captain and the princess,

but as one person to another.

Screw that.

You mean as a man and a woman.

To be honest with my feelings.

Just once, for one moment.

May I meet her with your permission?

It's me. Take the princess to the back garden.

And set up a barricade at a two kilometer radius.

Don't let anyone enter, other than Captain Eun Shi-gyeong.

Are you happy?

Why are you taking my wheelchair away?

Did you hear about my memory?

I'm like a monster, aren't I?

You're disgusted by me now, aren't you?

It was my father

who told Bong-gu about Anmyeon Island.

Despite that,

I'm not going to blame myself.

Because I am my own person.

The same applies to you.

They're the bad guys. It wasn't your fault.

My princess, the fact that you faced a terrible memory,

that was amazing.

It isn't

your fault at all.

Your Highness, I'm going on vacation.

Why? Where?

I'll give you homework.

I'll be back by the time you complete it.

You always act like a teacher.

Say "It is not my fault" a hundred times a day.

A hundred times for you, too.

Fine.

And laugh three times a day, even if it's forced.

Okay.

Receive psychotherapy treatment.

And don't skip your rehab sessions.

Okay.

And practice

being in front of lots of people.

Okay.

I will.

Please start singing again.

Anything else?

Forgive me.

For what?

I was holding back so well.

Why now?

So, that's what Shi-gyeong is up to.

I tried to stop him, but he insisted.

No.

I'm the one who sent him.

I think I only pretended to stop him.

I was so desperate for help.

But if I jumped at the chance,

then I'd be the bad guy.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Your Majesty.

If you think that's bad, what does that make me?

Come back to the palace.

There's too much to do before we charge Bong-gu.

Stay by my side

like you did for my brother.

I'm cutting your salary, though.

Our financial situation is a little tight.

But first,

I must ask for forgiveness from someone.

I told them

the location and covered it up.

I didn't know how to tell you.

As a fellow parent,

I can't believe I buried the truth.

How did he look?

You were one of the last people to see him.

Did he look happy?

Yes, it was a well-earned vacation.

And when he passed on?

He had a smile on his face.

That's enough for me.

We received this from North Korea.

The tablet used when you were threatened in North Korea.

They found it in the near vicinity.

But it can't be restored.

I understand. You're excused.

Are you happy?

Are you feeling smug as you watch me

working hard to find proof?

RECORDS OF DAILY JOURNAL

These two areas have the tightest security.

We're better off infiltrating this area.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I've found the proof.

I understand.

I'm ready too.

I see.

Be careful.

Your Majesty, the reporters are waiting.

Let's do it.

Lee Jae-ha?

No.

He's not someone who acts so recklessly.

Get us connected.

Dear citizens, I'm standing here today to reveal a terrible truth.

The death of the late king Lee Jae-kang

was found to be murder.

A mere overseas company chairman

assassinated the late king of South Korea.

The following video clip is proof.

Are you laughing in your heart because I got angry?

But you're wrong.

I purposely toyed with you.

Why?

Because I'm very smart.

The recording will begin after the beep.

Are you happy?

The setting of the start keyword has finished.

"Are you happy?"

Are you happy?

Are you laughing in your heart because I got angry?

RECORDS OF DAILY JOURNAL

WOC? The South-North marriage?

Of course, I was annoyed.

But that wasn't the real reason I killed your brother.

Your brother dared

to ban me from entering Korea.

He died knowing none of this.

Like a fool.

While drinking wine...

While he was drunk...

-Who is that man? -Is that John Mayer of Club M?

Yes, it is John Mayer of Club M.

A king is not just a sovereign.

He represents Korea and its 50 million citizens.

John Mayer, chairman of Club M, assassinated 50 million people.

He violated and toyed with us.

He committed a crime against humanity according to Rome Statute Article 7,

and I will bring him before the ICC.

I will fight him, and I will capture him.

By definition and by principle, we will judge him before the law.

I better go into hiding.

Contact the prison camp and have Kim Hang Ah

transferred tomorrow.

Who?

You?

Remember what I told you?

Call Miller, have him catch

and torture Collin's co-conspirators.

And put Miller under observation too.

Tell Craig I want to see him.

I'm sorry.

But I don't eat rotten cookies.

Kill me.

Kill me right now!

Don't touch him.

Treat him well, but watch him carefully.

Don't let him escape.

Infiltration is successful.

Kim Bong-gu is smarter than he looks.

He'll suspect you if you give in right away.

You have to try your hardest to hold out.

Don't make a fuss. It's almost healed.

She's ready for the transfer.

-What are you doing? -Don't move!

Back off.

Back off!

Take out your phone.

Now!

The ICC began an official investigation

without any preliminaries.

And they issued an arrest warrant yesterday.

We can try to persuade China through Russia.

That might work...

Hello?

Comrade Jae-ha!

I'm in a Chinese prison camp.

Hang Ah.

Tumen! A prison camp in Tumen!

They're trying to--

Don't move!

Hang Ah! Kim Hang Ah!

Hang Ah!

Was that Ms. Kim?

Contact the Chinese embassy and North Korea.

And cancel everything on my schedule.

I'm going to China.

Transfer Kim Hang Ah now. If he traced the call...

Really?

-Minister Wang. -What?

We've been contacted by both North and South Korea.

What?

They're requesting a complete lockdown on the Tumen prison camp.

THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

ORDER, HUMAN RIGHTS AND HARMONY TUMEN BORDER PATROL ADMINISTRATION

We went into full lockdown after you called.

What do we do now?

Get her out quietly when you can.

What an honor, Your Highness--

Three hours ago, my fiancée said she was being held here.

And the call originated from here. We're going to search.

There seems to be a mistake--

Search every corner.

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

What are you doing?

-Ms. Kim! -What are you doing?

Ms. Kim!

Comrade Kim!

Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

-Ms. Kim Hang Ah! -Comrade Kim!

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Comrade Kim!

-Check upstairs. -Sir.

Comrade Kim!

Comrade Kim!

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Don't move or you're dead.

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Comrade Kim!

Your Highness, you should wait inside.

No, I'll wait right here.

I want to see for myself

where you locked my fiancée up.

And how you treated her.

Drag her out! Grab her!

Comrade Lee Jae-ha, I'm over here!

Comrade Lee Jae-ha!

I'm over here!

Shut up and come with us!

Over there!

No! Don't!

Stop! Don't!

Open the door! Open!

Shut up and come out!

Move!

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

-Comrade Kim! -Ms. Kim Hang Ah!

Hang Ah! Kim Hang Ah!

Hang Ah!

Move! What are you looking at?

Move!

-Hang Ah. -Hurry! Go!

Hurry.

Hang Ah!

No!

Hang Ah.

Comrade Lee Jae-ha,

it's no big deal.

Hey.

Hang Ah.

Hang Ah.

Untie him.

Now!

My advisor says I should win you over.

And have you kill Lee Jae-ha.

Make you pull the trigger.

But you can't.

Not with your personality.

So I won't

force you to do that.

But do one little thing for me.

Join my team.

I want one truly loyal person by my side.

But you have no one.

If you don't, you'll end up so lonely.

What did I do wrong?

Money rules this world.

I believed what I saw.

I worked hard to get this far.

My life molded my thoughts.

And I acted accordingly, so why?

Why must I be bothered by such trivial matters?

Thought precedes action.

Work for me.

Like you guys planned.

What plan? I came on my own--

It's written all over your face.

You can't pull off being a double agent.

Lee Jae-ha sent you to try and deceive me, right?

Honestly speaking, isn't he worse than me?

Sending in his friend like this.

He pretended to stop you? To shed responsibility.

He's actually more ruthless than me.

He only showed you his good side.

If he were born in the past, he would trump Hitler and Nero.

That's precisely your limit.

You believe only what you see.

You're right.

So, be the one to set me right.

Advise me as a friend.

Or as a brother.

I'll get rid of the henchmen stinking up the place if you want.

So make me a better person, okay?

I thought you were the main source.

The source of the stench.

Treat him with utmost respect.

Hang Ah.

My child, does it hurt?

Dad.

Don't get up. The IV drip isn't done yet.

His Majesty. Get him for me.

What's the rush?

Bong-gu.

Kim Bong-gu is a vicious man.

We have to find him as soon as possible...

Hang Ah.

Comrade Lee Jae-ha!

Do you have a plan to get Kim Bong-gu?

If we don't, he'll get us first.

We have to capture him as soon as possible.

Please excuse us.

Do you have a way?

Have you made a plan?

Rest for a day and think of nothing else, Hang Ah.

No, there's no time for rest.

That man is a true terror.

Hang Ah, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

-We don't have time to spare-- -I know!

Seeing you like this,

I can imagine how terrifying and hard it was for you.

I'm sorry, Hang Ah.

I promised to make you happy,

but I am a weak king.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay, it's going to be okay.

Minister Wang Tao of the Central Committee.

We regret the recent events.

An apology won't make up for anything.

Show us how apologetic you really are.

You know that John Mayer of Club M is currently in China.

Help us capture him.

The thing is...

If you can't help directly, at least let our troops in.

A North Korea-China

joint military drill is coming up in two months.

Do you think we'll attend if you hold out on us?

Forget the joint military drill.

We'll probably switch sides to Russia from here on out.

This is your fault! Leave our country!

Lee Jae-ha's not the only one who can lose his cool.

You don't want me to get mad.

Did you think the money we gave you was just a gift?

Do you want a scandal before the elections?

Enough with the threats.

We're a country,

not one of your affiliates.

If we were to go to war, who do you think will win?

It's time for you to step back.

Leave by three o'clock tomorrow.

Look.

There's an ICC arrest warrant for me--

Where is Eun Shi-gyeong?

Did you think about it?

Brother.

I'm in a bit of a tight spot.

Lure in Lee Jae-ha.

Do exactly what you guys had planned. And tell him a fake location.

You have to do it.

Look, I don't want to break you.

You've had a taste of that already.

That was nothing. If I give the order...

You're a goner.

You'll be so far gone, you'll beg for death.

So work with me, okay?

You have until noon tomorrow to decide.

If you still say no...

Why do you guys force me to do this?

Comrade Shi-gyeong went there?

Yes, he let Bong-gu capture him.

He said he'd pretend to be on their side and slip me Bong-gu's location.

But he hasn't called yet.

That's letting the fox guard the henhouse.

-If something were to go wrong-- -Then,

I'll be guilt-ridden for life.

Give it some time. Our troops are coming in tomorrow.

Let's have faith in Shi-gyeong.

Hello?

Your Majesty.

It's Shi-gyeong.

Shi-gyeong, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Is it safe to talk?

It's done.

I made Kim Bong-gu trust me.

Great. It must've been hard.

And Bong-gu? You know his hiding place?

Yes.

Latitude 38.57.25.89.

Longitude 118.33.04.54.

I see, I'll send over the Royal Guard and our troops immediately.

Aren't you coming?

Well, I just met up with Hang Ah.

But she was injured, and I have to take her back to Korea.

You should come to witness Bong-gu's capture.

Isn't that what you've been fighting for?

If you're in Beijing, you're close. It's only three hours away.

I'll go and meet you.

All right. Where?

There's a nuclear power plant three miles northwest of the hiding place.

I'll meet you there at three.

Will you be okay?

It's fine. You go on ahead.

I'll go with you. We can--

No, you can't go with that injured leg.

Besides, it's Shi-gyeong I'm going to meet.

I'll be back. See you in Korea.

You've lost so much weight.

Come separately with me.

-And the Royal Guard? -Send them to the hiding place.

They'll need every last man to fight against Bong-gu's men and weapons.

Nice car.

How are you? Did you get hurt?

I have to go back.

Where?

I can't stop worrying about His Majesty.

Kim Bong-gu.

He's hiding here?

Yes.

Welcome, Your Majesty.
