-Give me your car key. -For what?
I don't have time to explain.
Welcome.
I'm looking for Ki Ho Tae.
Who are you?
Who are they?
I am Kang Chul Suk.
Let's talk. You must have a lot to ask me.
You must have questions, not I.
But not now. I have an urgent matter.
Your car key.
It won't take long. Right, sir?
Who knows. It may take a while.
Then you should wait.
Give me the key! Hurry!
I will drive.
I don't know what's going on. But you need to be extra careful when you're in a hurry.
Wait.
Is this related to the man I'm supposed to meet here?
Is that true?
Don't speed up. You may cause an accident.
How did you find out?
It's a crime if he embezzled money from his customers.
-I just happened to find out. -How?
What are we doing now?
Why are we chasing Ki Ho Tae?
A gang related case?
He's the no.3 guy in Chang Woni Gang.
Buy bigger bread next time.
I'm just wasting my breath.
Anyway, what was going on just now at the restaurant?
We will know when we get there.
So, how is this related to our case?
No relation.
We have a lot on our plate!
We need to submit a suspect list by tomorrow!
Who am I talking to now?
Wait for me!
Stop!
Don't be foolish! Stay still right there!
Die tomorrow if you want to die. Today's my birthday.
Don't ruin my birthday. Just die tomorrow.
You don't make sense now!
Mr. Yu Jung Ho! Everyone makes mistakes.
That's why we are humans. You can start over!
It's over now.
-I have no choice but to die! -Who said you can die?
If you jump off now, I'll kill you!
Understand?
Think about your family!
Come on down, and talk with me!
I have nothing to say.
No!
You want to die?
Yes, I do! So, let me die!
You told me... to take responsibility.
Do you really want to die?
Jump off then.
What are you saying?
You are a coward.
Do you think everything will be OK if you die like that?
You're mistaken if you think that's being responsible.
Stay right there.
There's a difference between "want to die" and "can die".
If you can dare to die, you won't run away like that.
You gotta die decently. But this is a pathetic death!
If you want that, go ahead. I won't stop you!
Listen to me, Mr. Yu Jung Ho.
I have $2 million. $2 million!!
You can't believe it? But it's true!
I just got that money unexpectedly.
I will give that money to you.
I promise.
These are my witnesses.
It all depends on how you look at it.
My father used to say this when I did something wrong.
"It's not over yet"
"You can start over anytime, so..."
"It's important to try again when you fail."
There are many friends around you.
The head of the bank is waiting for you at Earth and Man.
Sir...
What is this idiotic behavior of yours?
Come down, right now!
I have something important to tell you.
You come down, immediately!
Aren't you listening?
Come down! This is an order from your boss!
Kimchi Rice Wraps
Are you OK?
My lifespan just decreased by 10 years.
Are you hurt?
You're good at swindling.
Who swindled?
Are you OK?
You didn't have dinner yet, right?
It's late but can we eat at your restaurant?
Of course.
Enjoy your meal!
Let's see!
This is the taste I've craved!
What are you doing? Go ahead.
This will be the food that will make you cry.
Go ahead and eat.
How is it?
Isn't it so good that you want to cry?
Yes, it's very good.
It is quite spicy.
Have some radish water Kimchi. It'll soothe your tongue.
The Earth and Man is a special place for me.
And this Kimchi rice wrap...
... saved my life.
The owners of this restaurant were my first customers.
Really?
They used to hear me out and make meals for me.
It was like a home for me, who had just come from the countryside.
I often got drunk and said things.
Because of that, they probably knew a lot about me.
I see.
They must have been a lucky charm.
I became very successful at my bank.
I was even transferred to a stock investment team.
But how fickle humans can be.
I used to come here almost everyday during those hard times.
Once I started doing well, I stopped coming here.
What happened?
I started taking my customers to fancy places...
...like clubs for entertainment.
My colleagues, seniors and juniors...
They were all competitors to me.
I was fixated on becoming successful.
And then, I had a problem.
A problem?
I invested too aggressively...
I lost the bank's and customers' money.
I got fired and there was no way to retrieve the customers' money.
In addition...
No one in the company would help me out.
I just ... wanted to die.
One day, the owner lady of Earth and Man called me.
My mother did?
Yes.
She told me to hurry here for something urgent.
And?
How do you like it?
Did you come to your senses now?
It was so spicy that my mind woke up!
Is that why you asked to put in extra red pepper?
That's right.
I wanted him to experience that hot spicy flavor!
I cried a lot, using that spicy food for an excuse.
"I want to die."
"There's no way out."
I must have said those things.
Your father said to me...
How can you die properly when not knowing how to live properly?
Stop acting like a child. Go back and do your job.
Your job is to do your best earnestly.
Drink some of this.
It will refresh your taste buds from the spiciness.
Later I found out that...
They heard about me from my colleagues who came here.
Their last advice to me was...
Not to think life is too complicated.
In life...
Power or money isn't that important.
What you need in life is...
Your warm heart.
I want to say that to you.
With an earnest and warm heart...
Do what you're supposed to do.
Yes, sir.
You will be responsible legally.
And it'll be hard to come back to a normal life.
-Yes, I know. -But...
If you do your best...
I will help you.
I will help you as best as I can.
So, be strong.
Here.
Drink some of this.
It will refresh your taste buds from the spiciness.
It's so cold!
Why is it taking so long?
I'm starving. We haven't eaten.
How interesting.
What is?
Should we come here to eat sometime?
What?
I said we should come here to eat.
You quit eating rice.
Is it smoking? What is there to quit?
You quit eating rice as well when you quit smoking.
Why? Do you smell some crime here?
What a pretty girl.
Do you live here?
What's your name?
You are not married, right?
Are you done checking my family registry?
He didn't mean it that way.
Anyway, is she your daughter?
Go to the ladies.
Who are they?
Cops... I meant...
You don't need to know. Go in. It's cold.
OK.
Let's get to the point.
Why are you looking into a 15-year old case?
What case?
You know.
The case that involved Woo Tae Bok.
Why are you digging into it?
I don't need to tell you.
You'd better tell us.
I'll decide myself.
I know you belong to Chang Woni Gang.
Is it that a gangster has too much time to kill?
Let me correct you first.
It's Baek Du Construction Co., not Chang Woni Gang.
And I resigned a while ago.
I'm working here now.
I'm really curious about that.
It's impossible for a gangster to become a decent human being.
Right. A gangster, who ranks no. 3 in the gang...
...is working at a restaurant. I don't get it.
You lack comprehension.
Or you have bad hearing.
-What? -I said it clearly.
I'm not the no.3 guy but a restaurant worker.
We are detectives.
Just answer the questions.
Do you have a warrant?
No.
Then I don't need to answer.
Aren't you going to speak politely?
I treat people as they treat me.
This brat!
Stop.
We can find out about you. Should we check on you?
I guess the police have nothing to do.
OK, you wait and see. I will dig into you.
I will bring a warrant. You just stay right here.
I'm sorry if my words offended you.
I guess a gangster can turn into a decent human being sometimes.
I know a lot about Woo Tae Bok.
Maybe, we have information to exchange with each other.
So...
Just ask me if you have questions about that case.
If so, you should answer my questions too.
-Let's go. -OK.
And...
Do you know Woo Tae Bok and Cho Dae Shik are working together?
You seem to already know.
I don't know why a gangster is working here.
Regardless, it's interesting.
I'm sorry for causing trouble for you.
Don't say that. And never think of such foolish things.
Your parents gave you a precious life.
I won't.
Thanks for everything.
We thank you too. Visit us often.
I will.
Where is that young man?
He saved this guy's life.
Where's Ho Tae? I haven't seen him for a while.
He was with the men who came earlier.
I see. I will go bring him.
Don't do that, Sis.
I will give him your regards.
You can thank him next time. You will come again. Right?
I will come back although I don't know when.
Please tell him I thank him.
I will.
Please let me know when your father comes back.
I will come over right away!
We will.
Don't think any bad thoughts.
When bad thoughts come to your mind, come to see us.
I will make Kimchi rice wraps with lots of pepper.
OK.
Oh!
Now I know what the $2 million was about.
-Now you know too, Hae Jun. -Yes.
I am sorry about earlier.
Are you leaving?
Yes.
Did you have dinner?
Pardon?
You must be hungry. Come on in. I'll bring out food.
No, thanks. It's getting late.
It will be quick.
Ho Tae's friend is my friend too.
We are not friends...
We are good. Let's go.
OK.
Bye bye.
Bye.
They must be hungry.
Where did I see him?
Who?
I know that face.
Who are you talking about?
Excuse me...
Well...
Are you the police?
Yes, we are.
I'm sorry but...
Why did you want to see Mr. Ki Ho Tae? Is something wrong?
Not really, but...
Do you know much about him, enough to hire...?
It's nothing.
We came for a personal reason, so don't worry.
Is that so? Nothing is really wrong?
That's right. Please don't worry.
OK.
We will be back for a meal next time.
Please do. We'll make you a delicious meal.
Please take care.
Thanks.
Ki Ho Tae is lucky.
Why?
Do you think she was serious about the $2 million?
Who knows?
That can't be true.
What is it?
Kang Do Shik!
It's impossible for a gangster to become a decent human being.
I know a lot about Woo Tae Bok.
We may have information to exchange with each other.
What are you doing here?
You look so miserable. Go to sleep.
If you catch a cold, it won't be good for our business.
You go to sleep. Don't interrupt me being miserable.
You seem a little different.
Perhaps you became a little serious after the suicide incident.
Are you thinking you should live your life well?
Go to sleep.
Do you want Makgeolli?
You were pretty awesome today.
You changed someone's life.
If you ignored it with a cold heart...
Who knows what would've happened to Mr. Yu?
Like my dad said, I will stop thinking life is too complicated.
It will be OK as long as I have a warm heart like you do.
You said today was your birthday...
Don't stay outside too long.
Sleep well, Ho Tae.
Stay with me just for a moment.
Just for a moment.
You look tired.
A little.
Lean on me.
I have strong shoulders. Lean on me.
I meant you lean on me!
This is better.
Let me rest just for a moment.
Just a moment.
Please take care of us today too!
Let's go, Lee Kang San!
Did you sleep well?
Yup.
It's nice weather!
Well... it's so so.
Go with me to deliver Kimchi to the Italian Restaurant.
Why me?
You have the least to do here, Snail!
(Police Station)
This is a bill of good luck.
It's just a $1 bill, but can be $2 million, depending on how you look at it.
It may sound absurd, but magic is nothing.
If you believe, the magic will be real.
It will come true if you believe someday you will become fortunate.
I will give you this bill of good luck.
All ready!
I'm nervous since it's the first day of delivery there!
Congratulations!
You're part of this too. Congratulations to you too!
I will go with you. It's too heavy for you to carry.
I already asked Ho Tae.
Did Uncle go to the market?
You are so slow!
Carry this!
Am I a luggage boy?
I pay you!
Such a fuss over that little salary.
You work very little.
You are a vicious employer!
-Are you leaving? -Yup.
Hurry up!
-We'll be back soon. -Did you eat the leftovers from last night?
No.
Did you, Ho Tae?
Nope.
How strange. We had leftovers.
I told you your customers would like it.
They loved it more than we expected.
If so, would you like to try other kinds of Kimchi?
Bell pepper Kimchi, cabbage sesame leaf Kimchi will go well with Italian food.
Well...
I will bring some. Why don't you try serving it to your customers?
You will become rich at this rate.
Why not!
You said life isn't about money.
A little money is good to have. About $2 million?
Right. That's not much to have.
Hey, you!
It's yours. I went to take it back.
I was scared at first, but...
I'm OK now.
You will be fine if you are not afraid.
You can win.
I will fight for you.
How unexpected!
I couldn't even imagine you'd be working at a place like this.
-Did you eat yet? -I already did.
You always said you did. Let's go. The food here is great.
-What? -You...
Did you quit doing that kind of work?
Well...
I happened to.
What about you?
Me? Just the same...
What's that laugh?
Let's go eat first.
Should I bring food here if you're uncomfortable out there?
Enjoy your meal!
Thank you.
Are you Ho Tae's friend?
Yes, I am.
You look so nice.
I'm Lee Woo Ju. And my sister, Lee Kang San.
I am Park Hyun Seo.
So glad to meet you. Come here often.
Go ahead and eat. The stew is getting cold.
Thank you.
How did that tin pan become friends with a clay pot?
You're talking too casually with someone you just met.
He is my grandson's age!
You are too much.
He means well, so don't be offended.
Of course. Don't worry.
Sir, Ho Tae is a man like a clay pot too.
No way! He's a tin pot. He heats up, and then cools down easily.
Don't meddle. Just let him eat.
It's hot. You like rice soup, right?
Yes.
How do you know each other?
Classy mates?
Not classy, it's classmates.
I talk funny. Just understand what I say.
Friends from High school?
Sir...
Let him eat first. Ask later if you have questions, please.
Please go ahead.
Our house is a bit noisy.
It got noisier since Ho Tae came here.
That's not true...
Go ahead and eat please.
The stew is cold. Should I warm it?
No, it's OK.
If you don't like barley rice, I'll bring white rice.
I am good.
OK then.
How is it?
It's really good!
Isn't it?
Try Kimchi too. Tell me if you want more.
You want some Makgeolli?
What's the rush? You said your delivery is done.
Wait. Let's talk somewhere else.
I have part time work too.
How about tonight then?
I work at a convenient store.
I will call you. Let's have a drink.
OK.
Oh, are you in touch with Young Ju?
Not really.
-You didn't bring your bike. I'll take you. -No, I'm good.
I have a place to stop by. Bye then.
You two must have been really close.
We were like brothers.
You haven't seen him for a while?
We lost contact for some reason.
He seems like a nice guy.
That's his flaw.
Kang San!
What's up?
The bank will extend our loan. They said to come over there.
Really?
Yes, isn't it great?
I am relieved but...
What happens to Mr. Yu Jung Ho?
I asked. He turned himself in to the police.
-He did? -Yes.
Do you have his cell phone no.?
He turned himself in?
He did that!
Where is that brat?
Where is Yu Jung Ho?
He turned himself in?
He really did that?
Where is he? Where is Yu Jung Ho?
I heard he went home after being interrogated.
Bring him.
Bring him to me now!
You should go hide first.
What if you get arrested for blackmail...
Why should I?
We handled the police temporarily...
-But you still... -Bring that brat to me first!
Didn't you hear me?
Come on. Answer it.
"...can't answer it now. Please leave a message..."
I can't explain now.
But stay in a crowded area.
And I'm Ki Ho Tae from Earth and Man. Call me back now.
So, it was all for nothing this time too.
I am sorry.
It's not your fault.
But using Cho Dae Shik is no longer good.
You need to understand your enemy.
But Cho Dae Shik doesn't know how.
You handle him.
I will.
Anyway...
Did you find out about it?
As you suspected, the Chairwoman hired help...
to find Lee Ki Chan.
So that was it.
I knew it.
That's what I thought.
You like Sushi from this place.
I went to get it.
Go ahead. You haven't eaten yet.
Why did you go yourself?
It's your lunch. I should go myself.
That's my happiness.
Go ahead.
Thanks!
You should put your health first over work.
What if you lose your health for work?
You should eat too.
I already ate.
Are you considering buying a pickled seafood place in Kwang Chun?
-Yes. -Is it necessary?
They make a very rare type of pickled shrimp.
For some reason, they are trying to sell the place.
Your judgment must be right then.
It's good.
It was worth it then.
We need to order pickled shrimp. But they're not answering.
They seem to be in trouble.
Why?
Did something happen to them?
We may need to visit them in person.
Is something going on with that store?
A delivery for you!
You are giving me another chance?
But the head chef position was offered to Lee Kang San...
Kang San came to see me.
I don't deserve the position.
I appreciate your offer, but I should stay at Earth and Man.
You should think twice, Kang San.
There's a lot for me to learn at Earth and Man.
I realized there's so much to discover in that place.
Can't you learn those things at Monami?
Earth and Man has many flaws.
It can close down any time. And mistakes are made almost everyday.
Well... there's not even a single day without trouble.
Do you know what Nureungi is?
You mean burnt rice?
Yes. Burnt rice.
In the old days with no electric rice cookers, rice often got burnt.
Ok, and?
My mother used to say...
Our ancestors were very wise.
They gave new life to something burnt like Nureungi.
So... we should give ourselves a new chance.
Even food that should be thrown away...
...can be transformed into a new thing once given a chance.
Give the former head chef a chance, please.
Lying is bad but...
He did that because he desperately wanted to be a chef.
It's too harsh...
To dismiss all the time he worked so hard for.
He thinks it's all over for him...
Please give him a chance to get a new life.
I beg you.
Dad's homework is too easy this time.
It's green onion Kimchi. Right?
As I thought, it's getting more difficult.
What do you mean?
It's hard to explain.
But why doesn't he write a letter any more?
That's right. He hasn't written a letter for a while.
Shouldn't you put out an ad for a missing person?
He may be right In this cold weather...
I really worry about Dad, Kang San.
-Chef! -Welcome.
Oh, what happened to your offer?
I will tell you later.
-What brought you here? -Are you a nut?
Are you an idiot? Do I look that pathetic to you?
What?
Hey, what's your problem? Are you drunk again?
What's the matter?
Go back to Monami before you regret it.
You won't have this kind of chance again! You should take it!
That's why you should help me.
Help me not to regret my choice.
I beg you.
Lee Kang San.
Don't look down on me.
I'm just Nureungi now. But I will transform into something new.
Why are you Nureungi?
Because she made me that.
What?
What does that mean?
It's just something...
Have a meal before you leave.
Next time.
I will when I deserve your food.
Thank you.
Anyone here?
Who is it?
What's going on?
Why did he send green onions twice?
Is this homework too?
Uncle, do we need to figure out why he sent them twice?
What is he trying to say?
Don't overthink it.
He means to make LOTS of it.
Maybe he forgot.
Forgot what?
Maybe he forgot having already sent a box...
That can't be right.
What is it?
Why did he send the same thing twice?
Sir...
Oh, yes.
We have no record of the child you're looking for.
-Is that so? -Bye then.
Ma'am...
I have a favor to ask...
Would it be OK if I rest here tonight?
Don't you have a place to stay?
I'm not feeling too well today.
-If it's too much... -Not at all.
It's a small place but you can stay one night.
Thank you.
Follow me, please.
These days I just wander a lot on the road.
Not knowing where to go, or how to get there...
I just wander around.
And I realize how that child felt the same as I do...
I feel saddened.
Not knowing where to go or how to get there...
He must've have wandered a lot.
This isn't much pain for me.
But it must've been painful for that child.
My heart aches, thinking that.
Really?
Yes, as you worried about.
-Where are you? -Don't come. I'll hang up.
Dong Su! Dong Su!
Bye! Come again!
All done for today!
-Do you want Makgeolli? -Sounds good!
-Ho Tae and Hae Jun too! -OK!
Right! Yesterday was Ho Tae's birthday.
Where are you going? Ho Tae!
What's going on?
You thought you could run away from me if you turned yourself in?
You're mistaken.
I'm close to the cops.
But there are too many cops.
Some aren't close to me.
If so... what should you do?
Recant.
You confess your crime. I have nothing to do with you.
Repeat after me. "Recant."
Recant...
Let him go.
Oh! Who is this?
Don Quixote is here.
Glad to see you. How did you know we were here?
Did you install a GPS on my car?
Cho Dae Shik, you are so predictable.
-Cho Dae Shik? -Let him go.
He was going to die. You don't need to kill him twice.
What will you give in return, if I do?
What will make you let him go?
Well... what should I ask?
What should I ask?
Right, I got an idea.
How about you getting beaten to death?
I will let him go then.
Don't want that?
Never mind then.
Keep that promise in front of your guys.

It's strange.
He went to talk.
Keep it a secret.
-What secret? -You scared me!
Oh Myung Chul...
-Does he have a woman? -Don't you know how to greet?
Someone saw your father.
Where is the man who saw my dad?
Didn't you hear anything last night?
I hope he won't appear again.
-What's that scar? -You don't need to know.
-Ran away? -I saw you running away when Chairwoman came.
Were you ever married, Uncle?
I will keep your secret.
Our beautiful Kang San might get damaged because of me.
I thought hard but I still don't know.
-It's warm. -It's warm.
