01x21 & 01x22 - The Empress Returns to the Palace/ The Empress Goes Live

[bunniefuu]

(Episode 21)

- This very moment - This very moment

- I love - I love

- You - You

- It's the Empress. - It's her.

- Isn't that the Empress? - What? Seriously?

It's the Empress!

Your Majesty.

After getting married into the Imperial Family,

I was hurt a lot.

And I was sad for many days.

The thought of bidding farewell to you...

is the saddest thought to me.

What...

What are you doing?

That is why I have decided.

I want us to start over.

I will do my best...

to raise Ari.

- She's so nice. - Gosh, how nice of her.

Are you kidding me? This isn't what we promised upon.

Stop it.

Ms. Oh. No, My Empress.

It's...

I love you.

Your Majesty.

Congratulations!

Good luck!

Congratulations.

Be good to her!

What are you doing? Why are you still here?

Did you just fool...

Your Majesty, you should've given me a heads-up for this surprise.

I almost didn't catch these awesome clips.

No, this isn't what I planned.

I'll film your departure as well.

Let's head to the palace now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What are you scheming?

You were to leave quietly. How dare you break our deal?

Do you really have a death wish?

I know that you're shocked.

But you know that this isn't a bad decision even for you.

For you to recover your tarnished reputation,

I'm sure you need me.

And who is responsible for tarnishing my reputation?

Don't try to trick me, and leave now.

You must show the public that you're trying to save your marriage.

Only then the public can forgive your mistake. Don't you think so?

I'll say that I, your wife, am okay.

If I tell them I still love you,

no one will point fingers at you.

How could I believe you?

After you push your way in here,

you'll try to uncover the late Empress and Grandmother's death.

I've been putting my nose in other people's businesses, right?

Now, I completely understand...

how scary this place can get.

What is it that you want?

To regain my honor.

No one believes Ms. Hong's confession to the m*rder.

I must clear my name for Grandmother's death.

Only then I can live like a decent human being.

Can't you think of it as your giving me my job back?

As your Empress?

My Empress... A job?

Are you making fun of me?

Do you think anything you just said makes sense?

You can think of it as a contract marriage.

However, when I become of no use to you,

you can discard me as you please.

Sunny made you such an offer?

You don't think she knows about the inheritance, do you?

Does she know that she can only access it as an empress?

I made sure the lawyer keeps quiet about it. I'm sure that's not it.

Everything is ruined.

I thought I was done with for good.

I can't believe she forced her way in again.

Our hands are tied. The public already knows about it.

It won't be too late to get rid of her after milking her...

as much as we can.

We can't trust that witch.

Of course, we shouldn't.

Won't it be better to keep her close and figure out her intention?

Keep the biggest threat as close as you can.

Do you have a good idea?

Don't you worry.

I can't let her take that big of the inheritance.

Where is the guard, Mr. Chun Woo Bin?

I beg your pardon?

It's as you heard.

Make the Empress yours.

If you help him divorce her in a month...

after making a critical flaw on her part,

we will comply with any of your demands you wish.

Since there had already been a scandal with you and her,

it'll be easy to create some stories.

We can count on you, can't we?

I didn't know I would ask you to do such a thing.

It'll be easier to follow your order to k*ll her than seduce her.

It's not that hard.

If you're nice to her, you'll win her over in no time.

Your Majesty,

it won't matter to you even if I end up falling for her...

while trying to seduce her?

That will never happen.

There isn't a part of her you'll fall for.

No need to worry about such a pointless thing.

Gosh, he's funny.

Your Majesty, what happened?

Why did you take her back?

The whole country wants to know who you are.

They're dying to find out who my mistress is.

To cover it up, I need her.

A few episodes of the documentary and some other gossip,

those ignorant people will forget about your scandal in no time.

Kick her out at this minute.

- It was so hard to get here. - I told you I had a plan.

Why are you so impatient?

Mother and I...

will take care of this. You will stay out of it.

I am at your service once again, Your Majesty.

Then I appreciate your service, Mr. Chun.

I won't make trouble like last time,

so don't worry.

I'll live a quiet life as if I don't exist here.

Thank you for your service.

Make the Empress yours.

Don't you resent me?

I did horrible things to you. Don't you hate me?

How could you, a guard,

disobey the Great Ruler of this country?

I brought it upon myself by going after him.

Isn't that right?

Your Majesty, how could you come back here?

Empress.

What took you so long?

I thought all this waiting was going to make me blind.

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

To leave you all alone.

It's all right.

Wherever you are or whatever you do,

I believe in you.

To truly believe in someone,

you must do so even if the circumstances seem otherwise.

My gosh, don't cry now.

If you cry, you'll ruin that pretty face of yours.

Do you want to play the card game? It's been a while.

Are you in?

Grandmother.

You're doing well with Ms. Hong, right?

I'll bid my last farewell to you.

You walked in here on your own.

You are as gutsy as a general.

For the time I stayed here,

I apologize for my bad manners to you.

I will do anything you ask me from now on.

From now on, except for your official events,

we won't provide you with any support as the Empress.

Food, clothes, or anything you might need to live here.

You are to take care of it on your own.

Will that be okay for you?

If this isn't to your liking, you can leave now.

Of course, not.

I should stay out of your way, not to impose any harm on you.

That's what I had in mind when I decided to come back.

Is that so?

Then...

let's clean up the mess you just made.

We have started the legal procedure to correct the family registry...

and accept Ari as an official princess.

We will hold the installation of the Princess today.

This is all thanks to the Empress who had made the hard decision.

Thank you.

This was only the natural step to take, Mother.

Thank you.

The Imperial Auditors were not...

opposed to installing His Majesty's flesh and blood as a princess.

On behalf of the Imperial Auditors,

let me introduce you to Princess Ari.

- Your Highness, - Your Highness,

- we are honored to serve... - we are honored to serve...

- a beautiful and wise princess. - a beautiful and wise princess.

Make sure to serve her the best you can.

- As you wish, Your Highness. - As you wish, Your Highness.

I, as the princess of the Korean Empire,

will inherit the proper decorum,

filial duty, and allegiance of the Imperial Family...

and will maintain the dignity of a princess.

I swear before the people that...

I will devote my time to establish...

knowledge, virtue, and physical well-being.

I have a lot of interest in the environment and the economy.

I'm trying to find a way to develop them at the same time...

while the environment heals...

as the economy gets developed.

I want all of the people in the Korean Empire to be happy.

I want to do my best in my position to make that happen.

Your Highness, you are very intelligent.

I feel as if I'm watching the Emperor when he was young.

Could you please share a studying tip if there is any?

There's no special tip.

The Princess likes to learn and has an outstanding memory.

As she takes after me,

she has a keen interest in environmental issues.

Could Her Majesty share a comment as well?

I am happy to have...

this beautiful and lovely princess fall from the sky.

I ask that you show her your love and support.

I will do my best to provide her with everything she needs.

As this is a happy occasion to the Family and to the Empire,

I will personally cover the expenses to run a celebratory article...

at all the present agencies for the Princess' installation.

We were able to show a great side of the Imperial Family today.

Princess, you must continue to devote yourself to your studies.

Maintain your dignity as a princess.

Yes, Grandmother.

I will do my best to repay for your kindness.

Right. Good job.

Mother.

Thank you for accepting me as your daughter, Mother.

I hope we can get along, Princess Ari.

Studying is important,

but you must learn to play in the dirt as a healthy child.

There are some things you can only do at your age.

Yes, Mother.

I will heartily take your advice.

My goodness.

You sure can drop that word, "Mother" to anyone.

What about me, who raised you for seven years?

Will you ignore me overnight?

According to the ranks, she is in a higher rank than you are.

You must watch your language and behaviors around her.

Mother.

Don't you think you're being too harsh?

After getting rid of Mother,

it was so easy to have the palace under my thumb.

This is Empress Dowager's order.

She asked to provide you appropriately based on your taste.

I made you work more on my account.

Hold on.

I will take this myself.

Minimalism is trending these days.

Now, this looks like my room.

Let's clean this place up.

(Na Wang Shik's)

"Na Wang Shik".

That Na Wang Shik is the son of the late victim.

He was chased out of Bichido by men Lee Hyuk sent.

He couldn't even bury his mom.

Whether or not you wanted to,

you covered up...

Wang Shik's mom's hit-and-run accident.

You're alive, right?

You're not dead, right?

I really want to...

thank you...

and say that I'm sorry.

I cleaned out the Empress' chamber.

Well done.

I must keep this safe for the next Empress.

- Ms. Choi. - Yes, Your Highness.

Keep it safe.

Right.

I plan to renovate Grandmother's chamber into a new chamber.

I'm not sure if you're up for the job.

Of course, I should.

Who will be using the chamber?

I'm not sure.

I can't leave a nice chamber like that empty.

I ought to find its owner soon. Don't you agree?

I will decorate the place nicely, Your Highness.

Your Majesty.

Is there anything you need to tell me?

Good job on raising Ari for the past years.

Since she's a princess now,

it is only fair that you be treated properly as her birth mother.

Tell me if there is anything you want.

I only want one thing.

What is it?

I want to live next to Princess Ari.

I don't care if I live in the shed or the storage room.

As long as I can watch her grow up in the palace,

I have nothing more to ask for.

Please.

Please allow me, Your Majesty.

Mr. Han, what is this regarding?

This is the Emperor's order.

Her Highness will occupy this chamber starting today.

What did you just say? "Her Highness"?

I thank you for your service, Ms. Min.

You must have worked hard to decorate this chamber for me.

I don't need these fancy or valuable things.

A cotton-wool blanket, a small mirror, and a table will do.

Please remove them from my chamber. They don't suit me.

Right away.

Please tell me if there's anything you need, Your Highness.

"Your Highness"?

As you all know, the position of the Chief Guard is vacant.

I will appoint Chun Woo Bin as the Chief Guard.

Chun Woo Bin.

These look great on you.

I believe I have the right man for the job now.

I will hold a celebratory party for you tonight.

You can look forward to it.

How could you do this to me?

You gave the chamber to Seo Kang Hee?

I gave her the chamber for being Ari's mother, not as a woman.

Do you not really know what kind of a woman she is?

She's trying to force her way next to you one by one.

Yu Ra.

Were you always this bothersome, blinded by jealousy?

Your Majesty!

If you have my heart, you have all.

When you have 99 chambers,

you're jealous of a woman who has only one?

Nothing satisfies you!

Get out!

I can't solely depend on His Majesty anymore.

Is this your chamber?

Yes, Your Highness.

You were given a nice chamber all thanks to me.

You must be so thankful to me.

Of course.

But what brings you here?

The angora scarf. You're not going to give it back?

Angora scarf?

At the dawn of the day when Great-grandmother passed away,

you wore it as you were in a rush.

That scarf. Great-grandmother gave it to me as a present.

I treasure it so much. Why did you take my scarf?

Give it back now.

That scarf?

I'll return it to you soon.

Were you in the palace on that day, Ms. Seo?

Mother!

Your Majesty, what brings you here?

I came here to sort out Grandmother's articles...

when I heard you were to occupy her chamber.

Will you accompany me...

to offer my morning greetings to Father tomorrow?

Of course. We'll go together.

Really?

Then I must go over...

what to discuss with Father tomorrow morning.

Thank you, Mother.

How were you in the palace?

I heard you weren't here that night.

Well...

Princess Ari won't lie.

Your Majesty, actually, that night...

The Empress Dowager ordered people to bring me to her.

And I ran away and was hiding in the storage.

Search every corner of the palace, and find me Seo Kang Hee.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

With the thought that only the Grand Empress Dowager could save me,

I secretly went to her chamber late at night.

And I saw Min Yu Ra at her chamber.

She didn't come out for quite some time.

I opened the door and peered inside through the gap.

Her hairpin was lodged into her chest?

Then why didn't you speak up?

I didn't see Ms. Min plunge the hairpin into the chest.

As I was already on bad terms with the Empress Dowager,

I was afraid I might be blamed for the m*rder.

But you should have shared that with the authority.

You weren't even questioned by the police.

Ms. Min is under the Emperor's protection.

As you know,

no one is here to help.

Just like yourself.

If people found out that I was in the palace that night,

I would have faced what you had gone through.

Don't you know how scary this place is?

I do understand why you would be worried.

Please. You won't tell anyone about this, will you?

You're the only person I can trust.

Don't cry.

Then did Min Yu Ra witness Grandmother's body first?

Or did she m*rder Grandmother?

What do you mean?

I told them that I would go ahead with Vincent Lee's signing.

The inspectors from the palace will be at the event.

I already sent out the invitations to his readers.

How dare you make such a decision without talking to people in charge?

Didn't you tell me that you would hold a signing to celebrate...

the 10-year anniversary of the Emperor's coronation?

Well,

I only said that because Ms. Oh said she could.

Ms. Lee.

If this event doesn't go through,

I will hold you, Ms. Oh and Your Highness responsible.

Hold me responsible? How will you do that?

You will have to give up your post.

- Hey! - I will assume that...

tomorrow's event will be held according to the plan, right?

Darn it!

I'm so stressed out! She's stressing me out.

Are there any new products? Bring me all of them!

Excuse me. Can you check how this looks on me?

Gosh, what a day.

I'm not the sales clerk here.

What brings you here, the ladies' apparel section out of all places?

I'm here to pick out some clothes.

I suck at picking out women's clothes.

Can you help me?

Why would you need women's clothes?

Is this really the prettiest one here? Are you sure?

It's not for me. It won't matter if I think it's pretty or not.

You should find it pretty since it's a present for you.

What?

Why would you give me a present?

Because I want to.

Will you not accept my present?

Of course, I will.

I'll even put on a rag if you want me to wear it.

How do I look?

You look pretty.

Why do you keep saying that I'm pretty? You'll spoil me.

Then is today the first day of our relationship?

Pardon?

Gosh, I thought our first day was a few days ago. Was I wrong?

Goodness, you're making me blush.

My Bin.

Dong Shik is well, right?

Of course.

Don't worry about us.

I heard you made Chief Guard.

I think I have Lee Hyuk's complete confidence now.

Things with Princess So Jin are going well too.

What about the Empress?

The Empress Dowager and Lee Hyuk...

plan to use the Empress's vulnerability to get a divorce.

"Vulnerability"?

Oh, right.

The Crown Prince got in touch with me.

I believe he has finally made his decision.

(Episode 22)

Are you...

ready to tell me about what happened that day?

Just die!

No, Your Majesty.

Let go! I will k*ll you today!

I will dethrone you as Crown Prince!

This is Empress So Hyun's diary.

I'm sorry it took me so long to give it to you.

Her diary?

I hope it'll help uncover the truth of what happened that day.

But it was seven years ago, and we have no solid evidence.

It'll take time to prove what happened.

This is all I can say.

I am grateful for even this much, Your Highness.

The darker the Imperial Family's shadow grows,

a witness who has been silent may speak up.

Wait. There's someone you need to meet first.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Gosh. I don't know if I should just be happy...

that business is good because of Sunny.

Why are you working so hard today?

I should work hard. This is our business.

When didn't I work hard?

Something's up. What is it?

Were you fired?

Fired? Me?

Why are you getting so upset?

Why are you so late?

This is the Empress'...

Yes, it's the Empress' dad's restaurant.

But sorry, there are no tables.

You'll need to take a number.

- Okay. - Here you go.

I feel like we've met somewhere before.

You do look familiar.

Yes, so... He is...

- Geum Mo! - Baek h*!

Ghost-fighting Marine, Platoon 570,

Byun Baek h*!

Ghost-fighting Marine, Platoon 566,

Oh Geum Mo.

- Geum Mo! - Baek h*!

- How long has it been? - It's been at least 30!

What's going on? Didn't he come with you?

Yes, but they seem to know each other already.

My nickname was chicken eyes.

Mr. Lee, don't just stand there. Go fry up some chicken.

Chicken?

Are you speaking to him?

Yes, right away.

- But... - He's good at frying chicken.

Hel Ro, say hi.

He was in the Marines with me.

Hello.

Now go bring us some drinks. Go on.

My gosh. Hold on.

I'm your predecessor in the military,

but you're my predecessor as an Empress' father.

- Yes, sir. - Then what's this today?

Today... This is a gathering of Empress' fathers.

- That's correct. - Okay.

Here. Let me pour you one.

Yes, sir.

No. Mr. Byun.

Sure, kid.

No, sir!

You startled me. Here you go.

I'm in a great mood today.

Congratulations, Chief Guard Chun Woo Bin.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty"?

What's that?

Call me "Brother."

- That's absurd. - You're no fun.

What's the big deal? It's just us here.

You can call me "Brother" when we're alone.

Okay. Go on, say it.

- I can't. - Gosh.

I've never...

thought I had a brother.

But today,

I feel like I've gained a real brother.

What about Prince Yoon?

He was a jerk who ruined my life ever since we were young.

Mother only liked him.

Father too.

Darn it.

I want to k*ll him,

and he's after my throne.

That will never happen.

I will protect you to the end.

Okay,

I believe you.

I believe you're on my side.

Here. You may drink as much as you'd like today.

What's going on? How did you know I was here?

Ms. Min had called.

Am I intruding on your date?

Should I just go?

Sit yourself down.

- I need to use the restroom. - Go ahead.

Your Majesty. I was being overly sensitive earlier.

With Princess Ari, Kang Hee, and even the Empress,

I felt like you were becoming more distant from me.

But you're the one next to me.

Are you still nervous?

You're mine.

I won't lose you to anyone.

Come here.

- Excuse me for a minute. - Okay.

Woo Bin.

What are you doing? Get over here.

You need to catch up.

Are you looking for something?

No.

Have a drink.

Congratulations on becoming chief guard,

Chief Chun Woo Bin.

Please tell us about yourself.

I wonder who you are, that His Majesty likes you so much.

Is there a woman in your life?

Yes, I want to know too.

I'm sure women would love someone like you.

I was betrayed.

What?

I loved her with all my life and gave her everything,

but she left me for another guy.

That witch.

What was she like?

She was pretty and sophisticated just like you, Ms. Min.

Someone whom I could not satisfy.

My brother. Ms. Min went through tough times as well.

The truth is,

she's an orphan.

Your Majesty, why are you...

There's no need to hide anything from him.

I told you, he's my brother.

I just don't want to think about that life.

It was so painful and miserable that I wanted to die.

Okay. You said your stepmom was pure trash.

Enough of that.

It'll just get me depressed on this happy day.

Shall we play the king game you like so much?

Yes, the king game is perfect for the king.

Isn't she so funny?

She's the one who wanted to play and ended losing every round.

Chief Chun.

- Good night, Your Majesty. - My little brother.

I like you.

Thank you.

Okay. Good night.

From what I saw on the surveillance videos,

she played a big part in your mom's death.

He's the one who hit her with his car,

but she was the one who hit her first with a rock.

I just don't want to think about that life.

It was so painful and miserable that I wanted to die.

I can k*ll you 1,000 times over,

but I didn't for one reason.

In case people won't see your sickening true self.

I will be patient and uncover the disgusting truth...

and k*ll you when you have nothing left.

Find out what's in this. It's urgent.

(Start Broadcast)

Is this it?

Is this how you do it?

(The Imperial Family's Secrets)

Hello. I'm the Empress, Oh Sunny.

- The Empress? - Is this for real?

- The Empress is broadcasting live? - It's working.

Yes, it is live.

I will be broadcasting live starting today.

The show's name is...

"Good Morning, Empress."

I'm utterly speechless.

After k*lling a person...

Adultery, m*rder, and then "I Want To Know"?

Maybe she's a look-alike.

Our great people are so energetic...

so early in the morning.

Let me formally introduce myself.

I'm Oh Sunny. I'm the Empress.

Starting today, I will broadcast live every morning...

and uncover the secrets about the Imperial Family.

Aren't you the one keeping secrets?

If you don't want to watch, get out. Don't give her an attitude.

She seems to want attention,

so here you go.

Thank you for your attention.

First, I've prepared...

a time when you can ask me questions.

I will tell you anything you want to know about the Imperial Family.

Please send me questions to my email address.

(Is this an act?)

I'll see you tomorrow at this time on "Good Morning, Empress".

Bye.

(eka1es0 has left. Moda has left.)

(End Broadcast)

That's good enough for today.

Nothing is easy from the start.

Your Highness, you must look at this.

What is she doing?

("Good Morning, Empress" The Empress' Shocking Broadcast)

What is this?

I will be broadcasting live starting today.

My daughter is so smart.

She's doing this to show her dad...

that everything is fine.

She's super smart because she takes after you.

You have quite the spirit.

I misjudged you.

You're a great judge of character.

Do you think she'll be okay? The Imperial Family won't be happy.

What could they do?

This is a brilliant move.

People will flip out if she misses even a day.

Even the Imperial Family couldn't touch her.

What's gotten into her? She finally used her brain for once.

You used your brain more. Did you get a perm?

Yes. It's my last day at work,

- so I put in extra effort. - Last day?

Did you really get fired? Why? What did you do?

I quit because they're jerks.

They were being nasty because I couldn't bring Vincent,

so I plan to throw my resignation letter in their faces.

Vincent? Who's that?

Are you really quitting because of him?

No way.

I hear 600,000 children...

die every year from air pollution.

We must increase the speed at which we develop renewable energy.

It's clear in theory,

but it isn't easy to reduce it to practice.

You are correct, Father.

Why are you crying?

I did not scold you.

I am so grateful that you responded...

to what I said.

Having you speak with me like this...

makes me feel like you really are my father.

A princess must not cry so easily.

I'm sorry, Father. I will not cry again.

I will heed your words.

Your Majesty.

I do not want to ruin this lovely moment,

but my stomach hurts. May I use your restroom?

What?

Why did you come with her?

My chamber was just too far.

Your Majesty.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

I'm sure it was here somewhere.

I'm sure it was a man.

Who was it?

I bit his hand.

He was...

about this tall.

His physique...

He was about this wide.

What are you doing? Why didn't you knock?

I did knock.

You didn't hear me.

Please come out. The Empress Dowager wishes to see you.

I'm going.

Yes, Your Majesty.

A live broadcast?

How could an empress do this?

You said you'd only do things that help the Imperial Family.

Did you forget your promise already?

It's fun. What's the problem?

The palace must be dignified and sacred.

Don't you know we don't even have security cameras?

Why are you putting on...

this crude show?

I need to make money to survive.

What?

I've lost all financial support.

I need to do something...

to make money.

Please consider it a part-time job.

It will not harm the Imperial Family in any way.

Just wait and see.

Mother, the response is incredible.

There are over 10,000 comments posted already.

European royalty and international celebrities asked to be a guest.

Whereas half of them are negative,

they are going crazy, saying it's such a novel idea.

That can't be true. I need to see it to believe it.

- Empress. - Yes, Mother.

Attend the event at the Imperial Mall today.

We can confirm whether it's true right away.

(Vincent Lee Signing Event)

(Vincent Lee Signing Event)

- Empress Sunny! - You're so pretty!

Empress Sunny!

You're so pretty!

Awesome. The Empress is here.

The Emperor and Empress are so tough.

They're in a class of their own. That must be an act too, right?

- Empress Sunny! - Empress Sunny! Look this way!

- Empress Sunny! - Empress Sunny!

Empress Sunny!

You're so handsome!

You're so pretty, Empress Sunny!

(Vincent Lee Signing Event)

They'll leave the mall in half an hour.

Somewhere with a lot of people would be best.

You are incredible.

Why does it take so much effort to fire someone?

You hate her more because she's the Empress' sister, right?

This is business.

It's only right to fire someone who is incompetent.

She's late.

I didn't know she'd be irresponsible as well.

Who... Who is that?

Why are you all decked out when you're being fired?

This is why she hates you.

I have nothing to lose anyway.

You're shameless just like your sister.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are here.

I can't wait to see how you fix this.

Seeing how much effort you put into embarrassing me,

I can tell what my sister has been going through at the palace.

You realize how childish you are, don't you?

Look at those people before you talk.

If our image takes a hit because of this,

I'll sue you for damages too.

You have nothing.

You should worry about how you'll pay up.

You are so mean, Ms. Min.

Damage? Firing her wasn't enough?

I won't be fired.

What are you doing?

Oh my gosh. You must have lost your mind.

Ms. Oh.

(Vincent Lee Signing Event)

Hello everybody. It is an honor to be here.

It's nice to meet you.

It's an honor to have a signing event at the Imperial Mall.

Hello everyone.

I am the author Vincent Lee.

Aren't you the Empress' sister?

Yes, I am. That's why I didn't want to expose my identity,

but I had no choice.

Vincent Lee is your sister?

Nonsense. That family isn't capable of such a thing.

Hel Ro. What are you talking about?

My sister didn't know either.

Do you see the look on her face?

I'm getting chills. Oh my gosh, this is insane.

This can't be.

("The Last Mrs. Spencer" Vincent's Signing Event)

Spit it out. I need to go duke it out.

I'm Vincent Lee, whom you've been searching for.

Stop kidding around.

I know we've gotten close, but this is no time for jokes.

I'm busy.

- Mr. Han? - Yes, Mr. Lee.

I was about to call you.

The Imperial Mall is adamant that you have a signing event today.

You're not going there, are you?

Yes, I am going. In a disguise, though.

Do you still think I'm kidding?

How could you be Vincent Lee?

I can't say who I am at the moment.

So please, become Vincent Lee on my behalf today.

Excuse me. Is there a model on whom you based Mrs. Spencer?

Yes, there is.

But Mrs. Spencer is a collection of various people,

so I can't pinpoint a single person.

Yes, there is.

But Mrs. Spencer is a collection of various people,

so I can't pinpoint a single person.

"The Last Mrs. Spencer" hasn't been completed yet.

Do you have an ending?

- I'm still writing it... - I'm still writing it,

so I can't say anything yet,

but I'm confident that the ending will surpass all expectations.

Why have you been keeping your identity a secret?

What is your plan going forward?

Shall we begin the signing event now?

(Vincent Lee Signing Event)

What's going on?

I love your work.

She got you good, Ms. Min.

There was a reason she couldn't bring Vincent Lee.

Mother, Emperor, Empress,

I prepared this.

All of it.

I guess she wasn't just fooling around.

Ms. Min. What's next on the agenda for us?

You have a breakfast.

I will escort you, Your Majesty.

Let's go.

You brat. Why are you doing this?

You? Writing a novel? You don't even keep a journal.

What is this?

I'll explain later. Just play along.

Sorry. What's your name again?

The Emperor k*lled my brother!

My brother did nothing wrong!

The Emperor k*lled him! You m*rder*r!

Let go! I said let go!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- What's going on? - Let go!

I said to let go!

You. Wait.

Oh my gosh.

Are you all right, sir?

Chief!

Are you all right?

Chief Chun!

What are you doing?

Chief Chun!

It's me.

The man who helped me before.

The man in the palace. Is that Chun Woo Bin?

Did you figure it out?

That's insane. How could he...

How did you find out?

He hurt his head while saving me.

So he's at the hospital.

No. He cannot go to a hospital.

He has a b*llet lodged in his brain.

What do you mean?

- Why is a b*llet... - He is...

the man you're searching for, Na Wang Shik.

Na Wang Shik?

Chun Woo Bin is Na Wang Shik?

You idiot. You can't even do that right?

- Hello? - I have the lab results.

It's a strong painkiller.

A strong painkiller?

It's a rare drug used...

when operating without anesthesia or to treat a g*nsh*t wound.

How is he? Is it serious?

Tell us. How is he?

It's very serious.

As you can see in the left frontal lobe...
