Episode 7
This guy know me but what can I do?
It's not possible. It was too dark. Even my footprints couldn't be seen.
Come to the 5th floor. The pool hall.
You seem to be here alone. Would you like to play a game?
My friend will be here. Sorry.
Friend my a**.
What is it?- We've seen each other before.
This is the first time.
Really?
Is that really the truth?
Yes. Is something wrong?
Hospital, the broadcast room and now here.
Do you know what the common denominator is?
How would I know that!?
It's you.
You were at all 3 places.
And of those 3 places there is a connection to me.
It too odd to be considered a coincidence?
Let go of me.-Let him go you punks!
You better let go! Are you alright?
Wait a little. I take care of these punks!
Bring it on! Bring it! Come at me!
Are you guys afraid!?
- What are we waiting for? - Run!
Quickly, quickly, quickly.
Seventh floor...
The other way!
- Hey, you! - Where are we doing?
Hey, quickly, quickly, quickly!
Split up!
Did my warning come off as nagging to you? Is that why you're coming at me?
Wasn't it more of a threat than a warning?
It still gives me goosebumps to even think of it, so how could I think it was a warning?
Then why when the choice is so frightening?
Why are you here?
To make noodles.
I'll become the Saucier after working with Madam Go.
So I gave it my all to get in here.
I know what you're thinking.
You think I won't harm you.
Don't be mistaken. You don't mean nothing to me.
That corpse like body and you
are the same to me.
It's meaningless.
If you were a father. No,
if you were a human being. You couldn't say those words.
Because that meaningless work
I've been living in hell. Are you even aware?!
So damn persistent! Omg.
Yea, where are you?
Regardless of where I am. What's with those guys? What have you been doing?
You don't need to know. Just bring the USB.
Bring it to you? Forget it. You can come get it from me.
Hey! Did I ever tell you to do it like that?
Am I your underling? Do I have to do what you tell me too?
Even today. You could have come to get it. You always make me bring it to you.
I'm hanging up.
Hey, hey! Go Gil Yong!
Let me take a look.
Has it been about 3 years?
It's taken too long, hasn't it?
There isn't such a thing as taking too long when most others never even begin.
Your father must be very happy.
Thank you.
Don't come back.
Yeo Gyeong!
Gil Yong.
Here.
What is this?
Myeong is coming to get it.
Why would Myeong? Hey Go Gil Yong?!
You couldn't catch him! You idiots.
Since then
he hasn't moved.
You can't say a word to anyone.
It will take time.
Even if he opens his eyes,
it's useless unless he's completely recovered.
It's a secret. A secret between you and I.
Madam Seol can't know either.
Can you keep this to yourself?
I'm asking you.
I'll keep it.
Alright, thank you. I owe you.
Are you cold?
Oh no, no, no.
Is something wrong with your hand?
I'm alright
I'll have to place a laborer in the kitchen. You know the one I'm working with? Kim Dae Hae?
Oh yes. It's just that I did not wanted to do it alone.
Does it sound like I'm asking you?
No.
Make your decision wisely.
Movement of his fingers can be a subconscious reaction.
Pupil reflex is what's important. So, observe him very carefully. Give me a call if you see even a slight change.
If you turn on the music he enjoys listening to or talk to him. That would help with regaining consciousness.
Be consistent with that.
I get it, but can you keep it a secret from them?
You're patient Go Dae Cheon's guardian, Madam Go.
Not the Noodle Master. Don't worry.
Yes, you have work hard.
Can you see me for a moment?
Yes.
If it wasn't for you during the IMF, we would've gone bankrupt.
When everyone was lowering their price and making noodles for the ordinary mass, I was tempted.
But at the time, you're the one who said let's make better noodles with better ingredients.
Thanks to you, we can work it now.
It was just good luck.
That's your medal of honor and my debt.
If our upcoming banquet doesn't succeed, you'll lose that medal of honor.
Be prepared to die.
I'll keep that in mind.
Noodle Master, the Madam asked me to use Dae Hae as a laborer. Is that alright with you?
Use her for now. But kick her out as soon as possible.
It's been a while.
Yes, it's been a while.
I heard you went to Shanxi Province. I heard you opened up a noodle restaurant, too.
It hasn't been that long.
You should've called me to come. I wanted to eat your noodles.
I'm sorry. I was too busy.
Congratulation on passing the test.
I still have the interview left. It's not definite yet.
It must've been extremely difficult for you. But you endured well.
It would be even more extremely difficult for Tae Ha.
At times, I feel guilty eating when I get hungry and sleeping when I'm sleepy.
I took away Tae Ha's freedom.
It's not your fault, you did not know it would happen
Tae Ha went in voluntarily.
I could've rectify the wrong.
In the end, I ran away using Tae Ha as an excuse.
Like a coward.
I came back from solitary confinement.
Good job.
It would taste better with hot water. Sorry, I couldn't get a thermos.
Don't do that again.
Don't make me feel guilty.
Gil Yong told me to give you this.
I didn't come here just for this
I know
Aren't you getting on?
Later.
Get on. You can go.
I... I did something wrong to Tae Ha too.
When I fought with Tae Ha, I hoped that Tae Ha would win.
No... perhaps I fought him knowing I can't beat him.
That's probably the reason why Tae Ha avoids us.
For the fear that our hidden guilt would resurface when we see him again.
Yeo Gyeong, we have to forget that.
That way, he can meet us comfortably.
Can you give me your phone?
Some one said, "What kind of friend doesn't have their friends number."
I'll see you when Tae Ha gets released. With a smile.
Laborer?
Yeah, a kitchen laborer. Depending on how you do, you can get promoted to Noodle Maker.
But most end up being laborers.
Thank you.
Be thankful to madam Seol
Thanks, I owe you one.
You! What are you doing here?
Like you said, Uncle, what are you doing here?
Th-th-that was was I said.
Welcome.
Let's go in.
What I'm trying to say is...-You gangster!
Standby.
What happened? Our condition was for you to leave Dae Hae alone.
She came in voluntarily.
Her being here is a burden to me.
I don't have any reason to bring her in.
I need to know for sure.
Ask her yourself to make sure.
Secretary General?
CEO?
Aren't they all fake?
That's right. There's no actual position.
But I'll make it exist for real.
That business card is the business.
You must be teasing me...
You won't understand right away. Learn.
Even if you have to force yourself, study.
Oh, my... I'm getting a headache. Get to the point.
You wouldn't have brought me in if I'm to do beautiful work.
What are you trying to do?
Money laundering.
We're having important guests over for our 100 anniversary banquet.
I worked hard in selecting them. Ones who are crooked and have hidden money...
rotted funds... only bastards with overflowing things like that.
That money, I'll make it so you can use it.
Find out their weaknesses. Using the money, I'll grab hold onto those weaknesses.
Those weaknesses will be used as fertilizer for our restaurant to grow on.
What will you do with all that stench?
Roses that grow on fertilizer smell rosy, not shitty.
That means your foundation is the poop bucket.
The foundation will do only good deeds.
Perfectly good deeds seen from the outside.
Da Hae.
Kiddo...
Eat properly!
I feel like smoking.
You're pretty, Mom.
I got into Goong Rak Won.
Today, they told me to work as a laborer in the kitchen.
It's exactly as it sounds. Do small errands and hear a mouthful.
But if I work hard, I'll be able to do it.
I'll work hard.
But, Mom...
just why did you have to love that kind of person?
Don't misunderstand. You mean nothing to me.
That old man lying there like a corpse or you... you're both same to me.
I don't consider that person my father.
No, I can't.
He knows who killed you but hides him, Mom.
Anyhow,
I think it might be his doing too.
He'll do anything to kick me out.
I'll do whatever it takes to go though it. I'll never leave on my own will.
Give me strength, please.
Give me strength.
I'm always asking favors from you.
I'm sorry, Mom.
This is a list of the banquet guest list.
You've to make sure.
I don't lie about something I'll get caught right away.
Invitation List
Leave.
Hyungnim.
It's been a while.
How am I your hyungnim?
Huh? Are we of same blood or did we grow up sharing meals together?
It's not right?
Please help me just once.
You'll get callouses on your knees, punk.
Let's hear it.
There's a guy I'd like to chew up. If you help me this once,
I'll put my life on the line and be loyal to you.
Who is that?
Banquet
It took 30 years to hang this up.
Congratulations, Noodle Master.
I'll start with the banquet.
Hi Editor Kim.
The banquet?
I'm toothless (powerless). Why would he invite me?
But you know what? I'm being pressured not to attend it.
By whom?
Someone difficult to deny.
You... what are you going around doing?
I'm well aware the banquet guests are being pressured.
What will you gain by ruining the banquet?
If the banquet is ruined, it will help you at least, Madam.
Your power comes from the Go Clan's trust in you.
But that trust was fractured because of the last broadcast.
Without a shield like the clan, you can't endure the Noodle Master's pressure.
That's why I want to ruin it.
If the banquet fails, the clan won't trust the Noodle Master either.
Then he'll need you again, Madam.
And I, too, need you, Madam.
Why me, of all people?
You're enemies with the Noodle Master and
friendly with the clan and influential over Goong Rak Won.
Only you, Madam, can do all those things.
So, what is it that you want?
Place me as a Noodle Maker.
I'll get my control starting as a noodle maker.
After that?
I'll go even higher.
Fine.
I will watch you try to accomplish what you say.
When you finally do it, that is when I will believe you.
Goong Rak Won
Aigoo, really.
Go in.
You've to let him know.
Noodle Master.
Say it.
I think we will have to cancel the banquet.
Goong Rak Won's 100th anniversary banquet
The Chief Clan, Clan Elder, and the guests, I give my word of thanks.
In 1911, the first Noodle Master Go Myeong Ho...
at the Masan market place, under a tent without walls...
under a tent, he opened up the first buckwheat restaurant, Chi Meon.
Including the Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon and me, four generations spanning a hundred years, today Goong Rak Won...
Forget the rambling and bring out the noodles!
I'm at a noodle restaurant. Do you make noodles with your mouth?
Speak with your noodles, not with your mouth!
Are these noodles?
Do you call these noodles?
Mukbap would taste better than this.
If you're going to make noodles like this, what's with the party, huh?
Throw everything out!
Elder!
You go and get Gang Sook.
Yes, Elder.
Idiot... you must feel fire in your chest.
Ah, really.
How embarrassing is this?
But what were you guys doing until this place turned like this?
You told me this before...
To shut my mouth because the Noodle Master is making a lot of money.
What... What?!
You've kept quiet all this time. I'm scoffing at you for doing this because our sales are down.
Hey! Go Gang Sook, you...
His mind is elsewhere.
Foundation, politics and whatnot...
Please set things straight, the Clan Head.
You do it!
Ah, no. You two do it together.
That Noodle Chef or whatever. Fire that guy whose hand keeps shaking first.
Revive the taste of your noodles first.
We don't have the power.
Even if Madam Seol and I combine our shares, it only adds up to be 30%.
Look... combining Ha's 30% share and
the 20% share of Noodle Master Go who is lying down comes to 50%.
If the Clan turns our back and you combine all your shares
it's 50%. 50:50.
It would be worth your effort.
I've done as you asked.
The banquet was ruined and the clan head turned his back on the Noodle Master.
When will you go in?
We still have some work to do before then.
I'll go in after a week.
No one knows when the crack will close up again.
You should go in while you can.
It's important work.
You must protect the position at all costs.
Then I have no choice.
Instead, I'll give you an advice.
I don't know who you have in your hand,
but if anyone is to betray us, it would be that person.
You...
could be in danger.
I'm sorry.
I think the invite list was leaked.
If you know, why aren't you doing anything?
If you know, shouldn't you be looking for that person?
Whether it leaked from the inside or swiped on the outside, find him.
Find him and make him kneel in front of me!
Yes.
Secretary Hwang.
Yes, Noodle Master.
You and I are the only ones who know the list.
You...
don't trust me?
I don't trust anyone.
I will definitely find him.
I'm not into slapping someone when I actually feel like crying.
Don't misunderstand, just listen.
The Clan wants a strong show of accountability regarding this incident.
It looks like we'll have to fire the Noodle Chef at the least to oblige them.
I'll take care of it.
By the way, Father has been sentenced incompetent.
The guardian is me, of course.
Any legal actions regarding the property belonging to an incompetent person can be canceled at any given time.
It means getting his fingerprints stamped is useless.
You are slapping me when I feel like crying.
I know right? If you stamped, you should've cleaned the ink properly.
You only know about your dirty hands. Goodnight.
There will be lots of people laughing while sleeping tonight.
Senator So Tae Seop is powerful.
How could he stop all 100 people? He's no Kim Byung Joo (scandalous businessman). Don't you think so?
My hyungnim... I thought your ropes (connections) were all broken off, but you had a chain link.
Have a drink.
- You sure are melting nicely tonight. - Geez...
what are you saying? I'm your original fan.
Senator, it's my honor to meet you.
Who is he?
He's Prosecutor Ahn of Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office whom I told you about.
I heard you're great at straddling and two timing. Are your legs alright?
There seems to be a misunderstanding.
Did you get to eat some food? (insinuating bribe)
Well, just this and that...
Forget it. If you're full, then leave now.
Excuse me?
I said get lost.
Yes, then. Have a good time.
Although you may stay close to a bear or fox,
you should never be close to a bat. That's the basics in politics.
I'll keep that in mind.
Senator, I'm indebted to you for what you did for me.
Forget about that.
Now, make up with the noodle seller.
Excuse me?
Now that the fight is over, we should focus on politics, right?
Ayo... These punks.
I'm the substitution driver, I've arrived here.
Why are you so late?
Good evening, Prosecutor Ahn.
You must be a prosecutor.
My friend is a prosecutor too. I mean she will be one soon.
Her name is Choi Yeo Gyeong and she passed the bar exam recently.
You see her later on, please look after her well.
What an a**hole... he sure talks too much.
Excuse me?
Signal has changed!
Idiots... they think they all become judges and prosecutors for passing the bar.
There are numerous people who mess up at the training institute.
She passed both of the first and second exams with the highest scores. She'll become a prosecutor for sure.
What was your friend's name? Chae?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I forgot.
It's me. Who's the one who scored highest this time?
Chae Yeo Gyeong?
This must be the day. Now, dogs and cows even look down on me.
Your friend becoming a prosecutor, do you like it that much?
Hey, do you feel righteous and proud?
Please stop, prosecutor.
When you succeed, the first thing that changes is the protocol. The next thing is people you meet.
Friends? Give me a freaking break...
What would a prosecutor gain by keeping a friend like you who works as a driver, punk?
It took me ten years for me to cut off ties with shitty flies like you, a**hole.
Stop! I said Stop!
Look at the friend!
[Operating Room]
What's going on?
I was passing by and wanted to stop by to see you. Would you offer me a glass of cold water?
It's impressive. The interior design is great.
Forget the hotels...
The lighting is very high end as well. Wow...
I can't touch the person backing you, Congressman Choi.
And since we got each other once, we're even.
But I can't forgive handing over the banquet guest list.
Especially if it's from someone inside the Goong Rak Won.
What would you do by killing a rat?
If you hand over the rat, I'll give you the photo original.
That's tempting.
Who is it?
I shouldn't do this.
Myeong.
Yes, where should we meet?
I don't think I can go see Tae Ha.
All of a sudden, I've lots of deliveries to make. I can't excuse myself.
Seriously. Ok. Let's meet at the noodle shop.
It's you?
Excuse me?
You hit my mom?
I'm sorry. - Sorry or what not.
We should settle. Don't think about trying to get out of it. I'll just throw you in jail.
I'm sorry.
Congressman Choi
Yes.
Let's meet. I've something to say to you.
I've no reason to see you for a while. Bye.
I heard your girlfriend is really pretty.
Wow, I'm jealous.
What are you talking about?
She must be studying for the bar since she lives in a dormatory for law students.
Wow, you can live off of her if you're lucky.
How do you know about that?
You find out things about the person you have affection for.
What is it that you want?
Why are you being like this? You think I kidnapped your girlfriend or something?
You should get my photo back for me if I ruined the banquet for you.
Do you think I'd be disappointed or not if you act this way?
Do you know the bench at the Samcheon Park? Meet me at 1 p.m. there.
Don't be scared. What can happen during day light?
Catch him.
Then...
Go to the appointment spot.
You have to be there, so he won't run away.
I'll just confirm him for you and leave.
You take care of the rest.
Wow, so high class...
2016 Bar Exam ♪3, Choi Yeo Gyeong
Myeong
- Yes? - Training Institute Director would like to see you for a moment.
Yeo Gyeong
You're weird, hyungnim.
About what?
You only kept the letters, but I never saw you write back.
I didn't like my friends feeling guilty every time they saw me.
With time, that guilt may become dull.
Back then, I used to smile without cares too.
Number 1148, you're being released.
I'm leaving first. Let's meet outside Yong Joo.
Yes!
Goodbye!
Someone named Go Gil Yong prepared this for you to wear on your release.
You look nice.
How about $500,000?
It's an emergency, I need to use it.
- Just once? Please, help me.- No, I can't.
$1,287.53

Master: God of Noodles
Choi Yeo Gyeong, the debt father left behind...
I feel like they're making only the noodles disregarding the person eating it.
Goong Rak Won should be restored.
Hire someone to replace Secretary Hwang.
You're not the Noodle Master's spy who's here to keep an eye on me?
You really think that?
But isn't it funny?
The most important person didn't make it.
No matter what it takes, I make them come on my side if I want them.
