Original subtitles

You don't hear anything from the room, right?

Break the door down and go in. There will be a dead body inside.

Get rid of it without a trace.

Your Majesty.

You don't hear anything from the room, right?

Break the door down and go in. There will be a dead body inside.

Get rid of it without a trace.

Kang Hee.

Whose body is it this time?

Did you kill him the way you tried to kill me?

Spit it out!

You were talking about Kang Joo Seung's dead body, right?

Did you poison him after getting him out from the hospital?

It was Empress Dowager's order.

What?

After she found out that he was alive,

she asked me to kill him.

Empress Dowager also instigated Ms. Choi to kill him...

seven years ago.

I just did what I was told to do.

Are you telling me that you killed him then?

You just admitted that you killed Kang Joo Seung!

Oh, that.

I had no choice.

She threatened me with Ari's safety.

Did Mother order you to kill me too?

I know nothing about this.

That day, I was coming down with the flu.

I was stuck here...

I'm tired of your lies and don't want to hear them.

Come with me!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Yoon... Yoon.

Why are you so surprised, Mother?

Aren't you glad that I've recovered?

When did you wake up?

How could you look so healthy?

It was definitely a woman who attacked me in the Records Room.

I scratched the woman's neck as I was struggling to get out.

Were you the one who fabricated the DNA result with the police?

Your own son could have died.

How could you, my mother, cover it up?

Did you order her to kill me?

I know nothing about this.

How could you make such a hideous accusation?

I have all the videos on my phone.

Who has the phone now?

Do you have it? Or does she have the phone?

It's not me.

It's unfair and upsetting that you are suspecting me.

I don't know anything about this either.

Why are you protecting her?

I told you I must find out the truth behind Empress So Hyun's death.

Why are you stopping this?

It was you who killed Empress So Hyun.

The truth doesn't change.

Have you forgotten that Kang Hee witnessed it?

You just wanted him to be a murderer.

The water level of the pond seven years ago wasn't deep...

due to the construction.

Empress So Hyun was a great swimmer.

It wasn't deep enough for her to fall and drown.

She was pregnant.

Besides, she was carrying twins and was almost due.

All right then. Your best friend fell into the pond.

Why didn't you save your friend?

You were a good swimmer too. You even competed in matches.

You were more than capable of saving her.

When I arrived at the pond, she was already dead.

I could only flee because I was scared and felt guilty.

You were smiling brightly...

at the party for the new palace in the video I saw.

You had the biggest smile on. It wasn't a smile you would have...

after witnessing your best friend's death before your eyes.

What's the truth about you?

If I saved her, you wouldn't have spared me.

To protect my child I was carrying, that was the best I could do.

It was you who committed the act. Why are you blaming it on her?

You are such a coward.

Then...

what's your take on this?

Ms. Choi tried to kill me.

Empress Dowager ordered her to kill me.

What is this?

Is Kang Joo Seung alive?

Stop playing innocent.

I heard you told Seo Kang Hee to get rid of Kang Joo Seung.

She just told us the truth.

How dare you? You witch!

What nonsense did you tell him?

Was it you who took Kang Joo Seung?

You were behind this, weren't you?

I only got rid of him because I knew...

he would be bad news for you.

Shouldn't you thank me instead?

If Kang Joo Seung talks,

it's you who would be in the biggest trouble.

How shameless!

How dare you make up such lies? How dare you?

Empress Dowager had greenhouses in Chungeum Island.

Inside, there was a field of poppies.

What?

Was this the reason why you didn't like Empress So Hyun?

Did you spread a fake scandal about them...

and let her die...

because of the poppies? Is that it?

I know nothing about this!

Stop everything.

Burn that dirty field of poppies...

with your own hands!

It's me who had been managing this Family.

The poppy business was the basis...

to grow our family to where we are now.

You have been living a nice life with the money I earned for you.

Are you criticizing me now that the money is dirty?

Drugs are a separate matter.

Our act won't be condoned.

I will not allow it.

At least, you should say so. You had the biggest gain out of it.

The Imperial Family must be wealthy, for the public to follow us.

If we forget about it, it won't be a problem.

Give it up.

I'll stop you.

Go ahead. Try to stop me if you think you can.

Break our family with your own hands.

You can't even admit that you killed Empress So Hyun.

How could you turn your back on the Family?

The moment any of you open Pandora's box rashly,

the palace will be a sea of fire.

That reckless tongue of yours...

won't be able to escape from my punishment.

What are you doing?

Will you just let Mother and Kang Hee do whatever they want?

I'll take care of it. You stay out of it.

You know Mother won't change just because you give her a chance.

Can you still not abandon this rotten Imperial Family?

Do you want to maintain that petty title as emperor?

What do you know? This is all I know.

I was born here and lived here all my life.

My entire life is in this palace!

I can't throw it away...

that easily.

I thought you had changed at least a little bit,

but I was mistaken.

Look at yourself.

How are you different from Mother?

I won't come to you ever again.

Leave. Get lost!

It's all...

for the Imperial Family.

You would've had...

no other choice either.

Are you mad?

How dare you bring me down with you?

Should I tell them what I know?

Go ahead.

Then I'll talk too.

I'll say you ordered me to kill Crown Prince Yoon.

So we're tied.

Let's take the fact that...

I killed Empress So Hyun and that you tried...

to kill the Crown Prince to our graves.

So don't try to blackmail me again.

If you'd bury it forever,

I'll do the same.

Evil witch.

You call that a negotiation?

You're the one who killed Kang Joo Seung.

I told you. That was the only way...

to keep the Chungeum Island matter a secret.

So don't even think of betraying me.

Do whatever it takes to kick Sunny out,

and make me Ari's legal proxy.

If I could give it to you, I would've taken it for myself.

Empress Eun already made her decision.

How can I undo it?

Get them divorced and kick her out,

or kill her as you did Empress So Hyun.

Shut it!

Shouldn't you deal with the Chungeum Island matter first?

We're in on this together now.

We have to rely on each other.

She was so strong.

To think, she crumbled so miserably like this.

She wasn't the type to take her own life.

The disgrace that her daughter-in-law...

and grandson tried to kill her, and the guilt...

regarding the Imperial Family's ruin were too much for her.

She decided she'd convict them with her death.

Please do something before you return.

Please return the throne to Hyuk.

And why is that?

I plan to throw him a grand party...

for the 10-year anniversary of his reign.

I must watch that throne that they wanted to protect so badly...

crumble instantly into nothingness...

and watch them fall to the ground...

with my own eyes.

I plan to close the investigation of Empress So Hyun's death.

All we have are circumstantial evidence.

We could not obtain any solid evidence.

Thus, we cannot prove the Emperor's guilt.

This is the decision of the Imperial Auditing Team.

Emperor Lee Hyuk...

shall return to his role as emperor as of this moment forth.

Since the Crown Princess is still unstable emotionally...

and lacks sufficient education and training,

the Emperor...

shall settle the discord within the Imperial Family.

Yes, Your Highness.

I must return to the US today,

so sadly, I will be unable to attend...

the 10-year anniversary celebration this weekend.

Plenty of people will attend,

so you don't need to worry about that.

There is one more item to resolve before then.

I heard Mother's will was incorrectly executed?

I found Grandmother's real will.

The will that the Empress Dowager purported to be real...

was completely fabricated.

I thought it was strange.

How could Grandmother give everything she had...

to Mother and the Emperor,

whom she never favored when she was alive?

Then how much do I get?

"I, Jo Tae Ja, leave behind all of my assets..."

"to Oh Sunny, the Empress"?

What?

Do I get nothing either way?

Shut it!

Why should we believe that is the real will?

We had a handwriting analysis done...

and confirmed it was the real will.

And the Crown Princess testified that the contents were true.

Will you really deny it?

I know Mother passed away,

but this makes no sense.

Sunny schemed with haters of the Imperial Family...

in order to destroy the Imperial Family.

We can't give that traitor the Imperial Family's inheritance.

Mother was wise,

but she fell for that witch's tricks.

Watch your mouth.

If she saw how she disgraced the Imperial Family,

she wouldn't have given her a single weed.

You are so wealthy. Why are you so obsessed with the will?

Is it because of Chungeum Island?

- In case you lose that too? - Sunny!

As long as I am living,

I will not give it to you. I won't give you a single thing.

How could you dirty the Imperial Family like this?

If you want the inheritance so much, take it to court.

Should we go to court?

You are still shameless.

I don't care about the money,

but the Imperial Family must know Grandmother's real will,

so I will not back off.

I'll give you our company's best lawyers.

It'll be quite amusing to watch.

I want to tear her to shreds!

Where did she find Mother's will?

Did the lawyer switch over to her side?

Ms. Choi. Did you call Mr. Kim?

I can't reach him.

Do whatever it takes to silence him.

- Call everyone we know in the US. - Yes, Your Highness.

My head is about to explode.

Call Dr. Cho.

Your finances aren't the best. You should refrain yourself...

Did you just give me an order?

Shut it and bring me Dr. Cho!

This is the most popular injection in Europe.

It is extremely expensive,

but it has hormones that are excellent in maintaining youth.

Don't worry about the price.

As long as it makes me younger, bring me whatever it is.

As long as I can live a long life without growing old,

I'll give you whatever you want.

Yes, Your Highness.

I think the bath was effective.

Your skin looks milky white.

I'll give you the injection now.

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E49 The Last Empress "Michelle Reinstates Hyuk As the Emperor" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I'm done.

Here's your chicken.

Dong Shik, scoop some rice.

Put this on the rice like so...

Try it.

How is it? Isn't it good?

It tastes like short ribs.

- It's delicious. - Really?

- It's super yummy. - Really?

Kids, be good friends with Dong Shik from now on and don't fight, okay?

Chew well and eat slowly. Drink as you eat.

- Okay? - Yes.

Those punks.

Are you that happy that Mr. Lee woke up?

You're beaming.

Also,

who would've known he had such a miserable life?

I know. I feel so sorry for him.

- My gosh. - So, while we're on the topic...

- can we let him... - Drop it.

I already cleaned his room for him.

Where else would he go?

Tell him to move back in right away.

Yoon.

You know where we are, right?

Of course. It's the new mall that the Imperial Mall...

just opened as its new core business.

Why did you want to meet here?

I acquired this mall.

You did?

Grandmother had a soft spot for the Imperial Mall,

so I wanted to protect it.

So I was thinking, I'd like you to run it.

Me?

Given your track record at work and your knowledge on trends,

you'll be able to try a variety of things with this shopping mall.

I have a favor to ask you too.

Hel Ro.

Let's live only for today.

I want to be happy with you starting now.

I will love you and cherish every second with you.

Me too. I will do the same.

I love you.

What is this about?

How shameless. After you tried to kill the Crown Prince,

were you planning to stay here?

Is it that again?

Based on what evidence, are you...

You lied about your alibi that day.

I know that you forced the Crown Princess to lie for you.

Should I bring her in to confirm it?

Will you talk only then?

As the legal proxy of the Crown Princess,

I cannot let you ruin Ari's life anymore.

Starting today, I will relieve you of your post as Ari's nanny.

I will remove you from occupying Inhyeongak.

Even so, I'm her biological mother.

You cannot cut my tie with her.

Ari is my daughter.

Come in.

Drag out Seo Kang Hee right now and lock her up in a cell.

I will close down Inhyeongak right now.

In addition, starting now,

she is banned from contacting the Crown Princess.

Make sure you do everything necessary to stop her...

from approaching the Crown Princess.

You must keep an eye on her at all times.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

You witch! Don't you know who I am?

I'm the biological mother of the Crown Princess!

Do you all want to die? Let go of me!

You will regret what you did today.

Mark my words. I do everything I set my mind on.

I order you to let go of her!

Mother is my legal proxy.

How dare you try to harm her?

You will pay for violating the rule of the palace.

Crown Princess.

The Empress is trying to lock me up in the cell.

My only sin is loving my child vehemently.

Please save your mother.

You cannot abandon me for your own good.

You committed a crime.

It is only just to pay for your crime.

You must follow Mother's order.

Crown Princess.

You will be dearly punished if you abandon your mother.

Don't you know that I've lived my whole life for you?

No.

You can't do this to me.

Crown Princess. The Empress isn't on your side!

You must trust me!

Let go of me!

Please don't think I'm being cruel.

Everything I decided was for your benefit.

No.

I understand you, Mother.

I will not misunderstand you anymore.

I know that you always look out for me.

Thank you.

I know that you don't have any official events to attend.

Is there anything you'd like to do?

What I want to do?

Can it be anything I want?

I do have one thing in mind.

What did you just say?

I said that I wanted to go out with you and Mother.

I want to eat delicious food and go to a fun place too.

I've never done this before.

I would like to have fun like regular kids for a day.

Will you not allow it?

Mother said yes.

Is that true, My Empress?

If you don't want to,

the Crown Princess and I will have fun on your behalf too.

- You can just stay here. - I'll go get ready now.

(Emperor's Chinese Restaurant)

Did you want to try jjajangmyeon that badly?

Dong Shik told me that...

jjajangmyeon is the tastiest food in this world.

I've never had this before. I was really curious about it.

Have you ever tried this before?

No, I've never been to a place like this before.

"Emperor's Chinese Restaurant"? Ms. Choi.

- That looks good. - Gosh.

Here you go. Ta-da.

There.

It's tastier because you're feeding me.

You should feed Father too.

I don't think that's necessary.

Didn't you say you'd do anything that I wanted today?

Sure.

Indeed.

Since this place is verified by the palace, it's very good.

Don't rush. Eat a lot.

What else do you want to do, Ari?

You want to go in there?

Yes.

I saw it on a variety TV show.

I was dying to come here!

This place looks scary. Do you think you can handle it?

You don't need to worry about me!

I have Father with me.

He's the bravest man in the world.

Are you scared?

Then you can wait outside.

Not possible.

I'm the Emperor of the Korean Empire who's not afraid of anything.

Let's go.

Is she gone? Is she still here?

Tell her to go away. Or I'll be really angry.

She's gone, so get off me. Stop acting.

I'm okay with everything,

but I'm just not so great with ghosts from the East.

They're not real.

In this world, there are a lot of scarier things than that.

Humans can be scarier than ghosts.

Let's go.

My Empress.

Let's go.

You got scared.

He's so annoying.

Please come on out.

I can pull off anything, but this is a bit iffy.

Crown Princess, this is a bit...

Mother, you promised me that you would do anything...

I wanted to do.

I want to put a photo sticker on my phone.

Just this once. Please?

Hurry.

Hurry. Let's go.

Please choose your background.

It will start now. 1, 2, 3.

(Princess Ari)

I'm sorry.

I wish time would stand still.

Sunny.

Call the Empress Dowager right now.

Tell her that I'm locked up in a cell!

Can't you hear me? Hey!

Please be quiet!

I just told the Empress Dowager.

"I believe she will adapt to it very well."

That was her message for you.

Did the Empress Dowager really say that?

You must be kidding me.

You want to take this to the end, is that it?

What are you talking about?

A break-in on Chungeum Island?

It was suspicious that the guards disappeared,

so I checked the security videos,

and there were traces of strangers entering the greenhouse yesterday.

This...

is Sunny.

How dare she break into my territory?

I spent so much time and money on this.

Do they want to follow in Empress So Hyun's footsteps?

Ms. Choi.

What happened with the mole?

Do not worry.

I've brought him over to our side.

You did?

Bring the Emperor. Right now.

Do you have the composition analysis of the cookie from the secret room?

As you suspected, there were traces of drugs.

The court lady who was locked in there said...

she smelled a strong flower scent.

That probably means they extracted the poppies there.

This is...

what my daughter tried to expose at the press conference.

She tried to expose the Empress Dowager...

for selling drugs to the people,

and...

ended up dying because of her.

I'm sorry. It's all because of my mother.

Don't be.

I know you hurt more than anyone else right now.

Thank you for continuing to help.

This weekend is D-day.

At Hyuk's 10-year anniversary celebration,

I will expose all of the Imperial Family's corruption.

Please make sure everything is prepared well.

Don't worry.

I will complete...

what my late daughter tried to do.

The Empress Dowager is not an easy foe.

We cannot be careless. The plan must be foolproof.

You know that, right?

What did I say?

I told you she wouldn't give up that easily.

Your 10-year anniversary may be...

the last day of the Imperial Family.

We can't cancel it now.

We must do anything necessary to...

I will stop Sunny,

so don't you do anything.

And shut down the greenhouse on Chungeum Island now...

if you want the Imperial Family to survive.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Mr. Pyo.

I think...

we'll have to kill them all that day.

Even the Emperor?

What choice do I have?

I need to know...

to let go of petty emotions for the greater good.

Prepare well.

Sunny and the Emperor...

must never return to the palace.

The killer...

should be Na Wang Shik.

I will do as you order, Your Highness.

(Episode 50 will air shortly.)

(Episode 50)

Watch where you're going.

I'm sorry.

You have a pretty hand.

I've waited so long just so I can kill you,

but you don't remember me?

I'll repay you...

for that humiliation today.

I've forgotten my love

I've forgotten what I've lost

I've forgotten my tears

What do you plan to do?

What will you do after killing him here?

Do you know what that jerk did to me?

My life went to the dogs because of that louse.

Do you know why I came into this disgusting palace?

Let's see.

Joo Seung, just wait right there.

Who are you people?

Why are you going through our things?

Shut it!

There's nothing here. I don't think he hid anything here.

- Wait outside. - Let's go.

Leave Kang Joo Seung.

He was never in your life.

Play dumb even if others ask. Understand?

Did the Imperial Family send you?

Did you people do something to Joo Seung?

Don't go anywhere near the Imperial Family,

and don't look for Kang Joo Seung.

If you do,

I'll hunt you down and kill you.

What?

Do you doubt me?

You have a pretty hand.

I made sure she understood me clearly, Your Highness.

Don't worry.

Don't stop me.

I'm going to kill that jerk and the Empress Dowager.

Please get yourself together.

When I came here, I was willing to risk my life.

I wanted to take the most precious thing she had, so I seduced him.

I wanted them to hate each other.

After ruining this family,

I can just kill myself.

Will death solve everything?

Is ruining your life a way to get back at those people?

Don't think you're better than me. What do you know?

When I think about that day,

that filthy incident drives me crazy!

What about Dong Shik?

What about Kang Joo Seung? You two just met again.

I don't care. They don't mean anything to me.

Na Dong Shik isn't my child.

You're just like Lee Hyuk!

What?

With the excuse that you're suffering the most,

you're ignoring the responsibility you should face.

Have you ever been sorry to Dong Shik?

I don't want to hear it.

When I look at Dong Shik,

those guys' faces pop up in my head. It's torturing me.

What am I supposed to do?

I can only breathe when I hate him.

Dong Shik's life, Kang Joo Seung's life,

and my life...

are ruined because of the Imperial Family!

Then you must rectify that now.

You must reveal every wrongdoing they did.

And make them pay for what they did.

You must also let them know...

what they did was wrong.

They deserve to die for that.

Killing them won't solve everything.

(Princess Ari)

Did you look into what Na Wang Shik is doing?

He just left after fixing the lights in the Empress's chamber.

In the Empress's chamber?

Who does he think he is? How dare he enter her chamber?

How dare he when I'm right here? This palace belongs to me!

Na Wang Shik. Is this your doing?

Na Wang Shik. You cannot surpass me.

You cannot take the Empress from me.

Your 10-year anniversary may be...

the last day of the Imperial Family.

Sunny.

Is there...

any hope for me?

What?

Will you ever forgive me?

Just like that time,

you still haven't changed.

I gave you a chance for you to reveal everything on your own.

And I waited for you.

For a second, I even hoped that you would.

However, it was you who stayed silent and ran away like a coward.

With that said, why must I forgive you?

You're telling me...

it won't work out for us, right?

Then you leave me no choice.

Guards.

Escort the Empress...

with respect.

Lee Hyuk. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Let go! Let go of me.

Let go!

Sunny.

This is the only way to stop you.

You will never...

forgive me, anyway.

The car in front of us is Na Wang Shik's car.

Stay at his heels.

Start cornering him.

Step on it now!

Get close to him. Get close!

Closer!

Darn it.

Get closer.

Na Wang Shik.

Emperor Lee Hyuk's 10-year anniversary celebration of...

his enthronement will be officiated here today.

Recently, due to a distasteful incident,

he was temporarily suspended.

It's his first official event after his reinstatement as the Emperor.

This event has garnered attention from the people and the world.

Salute!

(Emperor Lee Hyuk 10 Year Anniversary Celebration)

Where did Mother go?

Didn't you say you'd come here with her?

She wasn't feeling well this morning. She couldn't make it.

Unfortunately, she won't be attending the event today.

That worked out nicely. I didn't want to see her anyway.

Hey, open this door. Open it.

Hey, open this.

I brought the Empress her meal.

- Run! - What is this?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

No. Let go!

Let go!

Get her!

Let go!

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E50 The Last Empress "The Emperor’s 10-Year Anniversary Celebration" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Are you okay?

How could they do this again?

Hyuk and the Empress Dowager are probably relaxed now,

so it's actually better this way.

Let's go.

Wang Shik is supposed to meet us here, but I can't reach him.

We don't have time. Let's go.

I apologize...

from the depths of my heart for causing you...

concern as of late.

Moreover, I'd like to thank everyone who never stopped believing in me,

and supported me.

I promise that the Imperial Family will do everything we can...

to make the Korean Empire a place where its people can live...

comfortably and with pride.

Next, the Empress will say a few words.

The Empress is not feeling well and could not make it.

Let's move onto the next item.

Your Majesty.

(Emperor Lee Hyuk 10 Year Anniversary Celebration)

My Empress.

My apologies for being late.

Where are we going?

The Empress...

said to have you return to the palace first.

She did?

Still, it's Father's anniversary celebration.

I want to watch.

It will end quickly anyway.

Since the Empress is your legal proxy,

you must do as she says.

I guess I have no choice if that's what she said.

Why is that jerk...

Your Royal Highness.

I don't see Wang Shik.

I think something happened.

I have a bad feeling about this.

- Stay on your toes. - Yes, sir.

The Empress Dowager is up to something.

It was a long and difficult path to get here...

to the Emperor's 10 year anniversary.

It was dangerous as well.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

You've done well.

(Emperor Lee Hyuk 10 Year Anniversary Celebration)

I've prepared a montage of the Emperor's accomplishments...

over the past 10 years as a gift to him.

(Emperor Lee Hyuk 10 Year Anniversary Celebration)

What is that?

Oh my gosh.

What is that?

What's going on?

Turn that off right now.

The woman who died due to that accident...

is Baek Do Hee, the mother of the man you all know very well...

for his many donations recently, Na Wang Shik.

If they had just taken her to the hospital,

she would've lived.

But the Emperor...

even tried to kill Na Wang Shik, who tried to uncover the truth...

behind his mother's death.

He shot Na Wang Shik in the head and dumped him in the ocean.

The person who did such a heinous thing...

is Emperor Lee Hyuk.

Stop it.

This is not true. Get out!

What are you doing?

The Emperor buried the truth behind Baek Do Hee's death...

and created an alibi for this hit-and-run,

which is why he married me strategically.

However, he tried to kill me during the wedding.

Is what the Empress says true?

Why did you try to kill the Empress?

At the time, the Empress was having an affair...

with his personal assistant Min Yu Ra.

He married me to cover up his crimes,

but he had no intention of maintaining our marriage.

The Emperor...

deceived me...

and used me.

How could he do that?

The Imperial Family killed our mom.

Our mom's name is...

Shin Eun Soo.

She was also Empress Oh Sunny's mom.

Our mom, who had a rare blood type,

was receiving surgery at the Imperial hospital 10 years ago,

and died because she couldn't receive the blood.

They stole the blood she was supposed to get!

(The Imperial Family's Hideous Past)

It's true. The Emperor was there after a motorcycle accident...

and urgently needed a blood transfusion.

He had to have the same rare blood type as my wife.

My wife, because she lacked money and power,

had the blood meant for her stolen by the Emperor.

And she died that day.

What? How could he do that?

How could the Emperor do that?

I received the statement...

from the doctor back then myself.

However, the Imperial Family feared this would become public,

and poisoned him to death and...

disguised it as suicide.

Furthermore, the Imperial Family framed me...

for killing the Grand Empress Dowager,

and tried to remove me as the empress.

The person who put poison in the food I had sent her,

and set me up as the killer was...

the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager...

blackmailed the Grand Empress Dowager's assistant,

Hong So Mae, and told her that she must frame me as the killer,

causing her making the drastic decision...

of taking her own life.

- I want... - No.

- to clear the name... - No. No.

- No, please... - of Ms. Hong, who died unjustly...

here and now.

That is not true.

How could you accuse me without any evidence?

Naturally, I have evidence.

I saw...

who put poison in your food that night.

That person must be the real killer.

Why else would she have tried to frame you?

Who was it?

Mother.

Mother...

put the poison in your food that day.

I saw it all.

How is that...

I kept a copy just in case.

Yoon. Must you do this?

Please stop.

These are all the Imperial Family's crimes.

This is not all.

There is another heinous crime the Imperial Family committed.

You must know well about the drug cookies...

that are causing trouble nowadays.

Did you know that the supplier was...

the Imperial Family?

- What? - Is that true?

Sunny, how dare you...

They sold drugs too?

I need to get out of here.

Get ready.

This is the beautiful island, Chungeum Island,

that the Grand Empress Dowager left me.

The Imperial Family kicked out everyone living there...

and built large greenhouses.

They were growing plants that should not be grown.

What is that?

Poppy.

It's a drug.

- They grew poppies? - What?

The Imperial Family used that black money...

built their businesses, deceived the people,

and lived a life of extravagance and vanity.

Seven years ago,

when Empress So Hyun tried to reveal this to the public,

she faced a wrongful death.

It's all a lie!

Long time no see, Your Highness.

Who is he?

How could you...

You weren't dead?

Seo Kang Hee, that witch.

I'm Kang Joo Seung.

I was Empress So Hyun's guard seven years ago.

- What's going on? - A guard?

The Imperial Family created a fake scandal between us.

And they continued to blame the scandal as the cause of death.

Everything is a lie!

- Please explain this! - Is that true?

The Imperial Family...

killed Empress So Hyun just because she knew...

the secret behind Chungeum Island.

And Ms. Choi right here...

ran me over with her car.

Your Highness, are you all right?

Why are you just standing there? Help the Empress Dowager right now!

Lee Hyuk. Don't blame me.

You chose to jump into the fire with Sunny.

Stop!

I'm going to reveal which member of the Imperial Family...

was behind growing poppies...

and producing the drug cookies.

What are you doing? Get me out of here!

- Out of my way! - Oh, no!

- Mother! - How could this be true?

How could she do such a thing?

Move! Get out of my way.

- What is it? - Don't move.

The person who ordered all of this was...

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Are you all right?

Sir, please help these people get out.

Help them get out!

Call 911. Quickly!

Everyone, evacuate! Please evacuate now!

Mr. Oh! Hel Ro!

Sunny.

- This way. - The bomb is over there!

You must get out now. Hurry, and get out of here.

You must get out of here!

Hyuk!

Wake up. Wake up. Hyuk, wake up!

Wake up. Wake up, Hyuk!

What happened?

We don't have time. Another bomb will go off in any minute.

Get up. Get up now.

Sunny. Sunny!

Sunny!

Sunny. Sunny!

Sunny.

I, Lee Hyuk, the Emperor of the Korean Empire,

will entrust Empress Oh Sunny with all of the authorities...

if something happens to me...

and I am not able to fulfill my duty as the Emperor.

I told her everything.

Even Emperor Lee Hyuk's last moment.
