EPISODE 12

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

I thought I just saw something.

Let go!

Let go of me, you jerk!

Let me go!

Get some sleep.

You'll be treated by the time you wake up.

You really are incredible.

You kill the living,

but you keep me alive every time I try to die.

I guess

you'll really become God.

I'll take care of the rest. Let her go now.

Hang this up.

I guess that cabinet will do.

Where is Mr. Yu when we need him?

He quit.

There's a new manager now.

She's Ms. Baek.

-A déjà vu? -Yes.

A déjà vu actually occurs

when your frequency matches that of another world

and you get a glimpse of yourself in that world.

You know that I used to be in the radio club, right?

But why are you mentioning that right now?

I saw myself just now.

But I was with someone who looks exactly like you.

My doppelganger had short hair,

and your doppelganger was in a hospital gown.

A hospital gown?

Na-ri!

Right, you're injured.

So I guess you could be delirious from a fever.

And this has happened twice already, so I have to ask.

Who is Na-ri?

Why do people keep calling me Na-ri?

Myeong Seung-a, a newcomer at the Royal Public Affairs Office.

We talk formally, and she's good at her work and with words.

I meant ordinary,

not Na-ri.

I meant that I want to get better

and go back to my ordinary life.

Should I tell you how someone who's a bad liar like you

can get out of a situation like this?

It's finally time

for you to ask for my number.

It's 010...

So it was you.

The person he was talking about.

She has pretty eyes.

Excuse me?

Hey, newbie.

Take good care of your number.

Don't give it out to other guys.

Damn, I thought I was going to get caught.

She looks exactly like Na-ri. Wow.

Even across different worlds, she's still so pretty...

Na-ri...

How are you...

Na-ri, Na-ri...

Jo Eun-sup...

He seems a bit strange these days.

Does he have another weird dream?

Hello, welcome.

Can I see your menu? This is my first time here.

Here you go.

What's this?

It's the most popular milk tea we have.

There are chewy tapioca pearls and soft pudding inside.

It sounds like a foreign language.

But it sounds interesting. I'll have that to go.

It's 5,800 won.

Here.

Please wait a moment.

Hey, you're here. Hang on.

Eun-bi and Kka-bi aren't here yet.

Why did you come so early?

I want my japchae!

What are you talking about?

You told me to come get some japchae. You said you'd give me some. Come on.

Here's your drink.

I'm sorry.

We're childhood friends.

I see.

It's good.

Come back again next time.

Can't you see I have a customer?

And why did you cut your hair so short?

Na-ri, let me borrow your car. The one out there.

Nonsense. You don't even have a license.

DRIVER'S LICENSE JO EUN-SUP

The car escorting the VIP just passed the Naegok-dong intersection.

It's heading for the National Security Agency.

Hang in there, Lieutenant Jeong.

I'm coming for you.

I promise

I will find you.

I want you all

to use big data to find the person in this photo.

It's very urgent.

This isn't an order,

but a request.

-Yes, Your Majesty! -Yes, Your Majesty!

Could I have the data, Your Majesty?

It's a photo of a security footage,

so it's not very clear.

Could it still work?

Yes, it's possible.

But since we don't have the exact location of the target,

it may take some time.

I understand.

Your Majesty, there's a call for you.

Yes, Yeong.

Sir, Detective Kang called again.

He said something about finding Luna or whatever.

They were chasing her and causing a huge racket.

Tell him to call me right now.

And keep your voice low.

Is there a quiet room and a laptop I could use?

I'll have them ready right away.

I checked the video.

It's near the Busan palace.

Yes. If you look at the 15th second in the third file,

you can tell it's Luna for sure.

She's not the one you've been looking for,

but thank you.

Right...

What?

Take care, then.

I'll thank you in person later.

I got info on the target's attire.

A grey hoodie, training pants, and white sneakers.

She probably has her hair tied in a ponytail.

Check the routes from the Eastern Market to the main palace.

TAE-EUL

SIN-JAE

Jo Eun-sup?

It's Jo Yeong. Detective Jeong isn't picking up.

Please come to Yeouido. I need your help.

Do you have Eun-sup's phone, too?

What's going on?

You're going to have to owe me, though.

I'll be waiting.

Go on

and get some rest.

You've done a good job today.

It's nothing.

Did you find out?

I hope it's news that will put me back on my feet.

I checked the alibis of the court workers who changed their shifts.

And there was nothing in particular about Lee Gi-yun, Yun Do-gyeong, and Kim Su-a.

So

there was something about Park Suk-jin?

She only went out twice recently to a bookstore in the slums.

And the days she left

were when His Majesty's schedule was empty.

After she left the bookstore,

she was burning this.

And the reason I'm reporting to you today is because

that bookstore was where the traitor's followers were staying.

What?

How could someone like her

have worked here at the palace?

She was hired as a descendant of a national contributor,

and the contributor was her grandfather, Park Dong-u.

But she was not his real granddaughter, Park Suk-jin.

What in the world are you talking about?

The real Park Suk-jin is living in Pyongan Province under the name of Min Seon-yeong.

And there's a record of Min Seon-yeong having lost her son a long time ago.

What?

Min Seon-yeong?

I was so thorough when hiring workers in the palace,

but it was you!

What is your real name?

Are you Min Seon-yeong, who lost a son a long time ago?

Keep your mouths shut!

If even a word

about this incident leaves the palace,

I will punish you and your family for three generations!

-Yes, Head Court Lady Noh. -Yes, Head Court Lady Noh.

And call the palace doctor.

Take her to the secondary palace.

We must keep her alive.

I have to find out and reveal

who tried to keep her mouth shut.

Hey!

Can't you drive properly?

I could've died!

You can't die here,

Prime Minister Koo.

Do I look like a government official?

I think you're mistaken.

I don't think I am.

You're mistaking me with someone else.

Why would you mistake me for someone else?

It's dangerous.
