The King: Eternal Monarch (더 킹 : 영원의 군주)

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

You really came to Gwanghwamun.

And you're indeed wearing a jacket with a lot of buttons.

This is strange.

You seem to know me.

Let's skip that.

If I don't do this now,

I'll probably regret it later.

When it's fate, there are no coincidences.

It is inevitable by nature,

but when you realize its meaning,

it's always too late.

DAD

-Dad. -Hey.

I got your call and beat up all those guys.

Where are you?

You got my call?

Hey, what's wrong with your voice?

Hang on. The police are here. They're asking for me.

I'll call you again later, okay?

Is that a person?

Oh, my gosh.

Excuse me, are you okay?

She's bleeding pretty badly. We should call an ambulance.

So you're saying that my mom met Lee Gon's,

I mean, Lee Ji-hun's mom?

At the Grace Heritage Hotel.

Start with the security camera there. You'll be able to track Song Jeong-hye.

Will you help me?

Why did you follow my mom?

Are you going to help me?

Hello?

It's been a long time. I believe your name was Hyeon-min.

Kang Hyeon-min.

You must have lost your mom.

I'll find her for you.

Who are you?

How can you look exactly the same as before?

That's right.

That's why I thought I had a lot of time.

But now that I think of it,

that was the first crack.

My nephew was just a baby back then,

but now he's all grown and he's almost caught up to me.

Enough with your family issues. Just tell me why you called.

It's time for you to repay me for changing your life.

The mother who was deceived her whole life,

and the mother who deceived her whole life.

The lives of both your mothers

depend on you.

Just get to the point.

What do you want?

You're someone who is far from yet close to my nephew.

This is a very easy deal.

Bring me Lee Gon's whip, whatever it takes.

And it'll be even better if you kill him in the process.

Can't you suggest a normal deal?

I'm not a good son.

I'm not that devoted.

You should be.

I'm sure you have an affection that's sweet and melts quickly.

So, Hyeon-min.

Let's just die together.

-Let's die together. -No!

-Hyeon-min! -Mom!

-Mom! -I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry!

It will only take a second.

-I'm so sorry! -Stop...

I'm sorry.

Don't mind us, and just be on your way!

Your name is Min Seon-yeong.

And your son is Kang Hyeon-min.

Is this your thumbprint?

I said I'd pay by tomorrow.

I still have one day left.

Did you pray?

If you want to throw away your life, why not give it to me?

I will give you and your son a new life.

You will be a palace worker named Park Suk-jin,

and your son will have a rich father.

Who are you? What are you on about?

How would you do such a thing?

You...

Are you...

Prince Imperial Geum?

You're supposed to be dead.

You just need to nod

and grab a hold of the luck that came to you.

What is it?

Are my palm lines strange?

It's interesting.

This scar connected with your fate line, and became your new fate.

What kind of fate?

Well, since this is just for fun, I'll tell you.

Your fate is to commit treason if it were the old times.

Will it succeed?

Well, that's the problem.

You're fated to be beheaded, I mean, if it were the old times.

So in other words,

you failed.

If you're actually me,

this is probably where you're keeping your sword.

That fate has already passed.

I took part in the beheading myself.

Although it was foolish of me to do so.

I should've trusted myself

and killed the crown prince first.

The crown prince?

Na-ri! Hello, Na-ri!

Why are you holding hands?

It's so cheesy.

I've recently joined a palm-reading club.

-Should I read yours too? -Yes.

I'm sure I've seen you before.

My gosh. Where did I see you before?

He is one of the traitor's followers.

Get him!

Stay right here behind me.

Yes, you saw me at Haeundae.

Can you relay a message to my nephew, then?

I don't know where he's hiding right now,

but I'd really love to see him on the death anniversary of his mother.

Tell him I'll be attending the memorial mass.

And that if he doesn't show up,

I'll be visiting your fortune-telling friend again.

Who is he? Do you really know him?

Stay right here, okay?

I need to call Tae-eul.

-She's right over there, outside. -What?

Tae-eul!

What's going on?

Lee Lim came by just now.

You know, Lee Lim.

Here? Where's Dad?

He went to pick up the kids. He couldn't cancel the afternoon class.

-What's all this fuss? Who is he? -I'll tell you later.

Hey, what happened to your forehead?

What are you doing here when you're hurt?

You're hurt? Where? Why?

Something just happened. Let's go, Sin-jae.

Jeong Tae-eul.

You were stabbed on your left side.

Oh, right.

I'm right-handed.

What's going on?

Eun-sup, take care of Na-ri.

What's with your forehead?

I asked him already,

-but he's not answering. -Shut up.

It's you, Jo Yeong.

Don't look at me like that.

We're from the same country.

If I saw you there, you'd be dead by now.

Who put you up to this?

Who told you to poison the King?

Is it Lee Lim?

Narcotic painkillers.

They're prescribed to late-stage cancer patients.

-Do you have cancer? -Yes.

I'm going to die soon.

But don't get too excited.

Can you two give us a moment?

I'll talk to her.

Call me, then.

Call me if anything happens.

So

you came to kill me

because you have cancer?

What do you need?

A liver? A kidney?

Is that why you avoided my organs when you stabbed me?

So it's true.

There really isn't even

a hint of anxiety in your eyes.

You're the one who called my dad and told him, right?

Why didn't you stab me deep enough to kill me?

Homemade soybean paste is the best.

The soup is amazing.

I didn't want to upset your dad.

What did you talk about with my dad?

I heard you were at my house when I wasn't here.

We talked about food,

money,

and work.

It was all about you in the end.

Sitting here like this,

it feels like I'm looking into a mirror.

Tell me about yourself now.

You're pretty sentimental, aren't you?

VIOLENT CRIMES DIVISION SQUAD 3

Oh, my gosh!

How can we help you?

Is Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul here?

Is it April, 2020 right now?

Excuse me, but how do you know Detective Jeong?

I've finally come to the year 2020.

Where is Lieutenant Jeong right now?

My name
