When your mother opened the door,
I hoped that she'd run away far away to a place where she won't be found.
Student!
What are you doing right now?
Three
When I came out the door.
I was already a monster.
I sincerely hoped not to harm the person opening the door.
Behind there doors is the true me.
I can only live behind these doors.
[Episode 9]
This isn't possible.
That guy is Choi Soon Seok.
Tell him! You're Choi Soon Seok!
What are you saying?
Catch him.
I think there was a misunderstanding.
It's okay,
but who is Choi Soon Seuk?
It's no deal. I'm sorry.
Kim Gil Do?
Only my mother and I know that name. Grandpa, how do you know that name,
Do it again. G, N, D... Grandfather!
Grandfather, can you hear me?
Huh? Grandfather!
I understand, I'l go out.
Go that way.-Yes!
This way. Let's go.
Aigoo, so noisy. So noisy that I can't sleep.
Madam.
Yes, Da Hae?
What's all the fuss about?
I... Madam,
Yes?
Grandfather opened his eyes.
What happened?-We lost him.
Find him, even if you've to do it whole night!
Yes, sir!
Move! Huh?!
Dong Bae if you continue to stand here, I'll kill you myself.
I said move!
You're crazy.
He closed his eyes again?
Yes.
Don't tell anyone without my permission.
Okay.
Dae Hae, let's prolong this a little longer. At least until he can speak.
Huh?-Yes, madam.
You might have woken my father up.
Thank you. I won't forget it.
You can't run away with that leg. Get in.
Find him!
You've no one who can help you now.
You have nowhere to hide... at least not in this country.
It's all because of you. Because of you.
You're alive because of me for now.
There is no proof in this world to show that I'm Choi Soon Seok. No one will believe you.
That means it's unless to sell me out.
Shut up, you punk!
If I were you I'd leave this country.
Should I teach you a way?
Of all the things you have sell the most valuable item to the highest buyer.
What are you planning?
Why are you helping me?
Don't be mistaken.
I'm not helping you, but getting rid of you.
Get off.
Don't get in my way again.
Noodle Master
Doggoo.-I've a work for you.
Come to the Goong Rak Won.
What's the matter?-I'll tell you once you come here.
I'm not a mutt who comes when you call so at least give me a reason..
Hello?
Hey, Dough! Punk...
I have to go.
You wait for me. I'll kill you if a single piece is missing.
Yes, hyungnim.
What?!
It's impossible. He is Choi Soon Seok.
Tell him! You're Choi Soon Seok!
What is the issue calling me this late at night. People are going to start thinking that we're dating.
What's the matter?
I need you to capture a person.
Why are you like this?
I said I'd do business with you not run your errands.
If you're trying to spin your wheels to make me your subordinate,
you're way off. Got it?
Da Hae is in danger.
The person who knows my bad side a little too well
He knows that Da Hae is my greatest weakness.
We have to catch it.
You're not trying to get me to work by selling Da Hae?
Does it look like it?
Hurry up and bring in Tae Ha. Or have someone follow her around.
If you hurt even one hair strand of Da Hae's, I won't leave you alone.
I've decided on Park Tae Ha. He'll come by soon.
Who do you want me to catch?
Hwang Seung Rok.
Hwang Seung Rok?
Tell me some places where he might go.
There's only one person the bastard will go to.
Aigoo, do I have to come here personally for all of you guys to show your faces?
-Have you been well?-Yes, I have been well.
But I'm not sure how Moo Myeong's doing.
I even went as far as looking for Moo Hyung High School's deceased students.
And his name had to be Moo Myeong (anonymous). Everyone listed were anonymous.
Everytime I see him, my heart drops.
You can't contact him either?
I wouldn't be this worried if I could get a hold of him.
To put it bluntly, we don't have money, connections, nor family.
We only have four of us friends. Wouldn't it be nice for us to live closely?
And you, go see Yeo Gyeong every once in a while.
Friends are suppose to visit each other, okay?
Here.
Make sure you eat well.
I'm going now.
11 meters horizontal...
17 meters vertical...
It's very nice to meet you all. My name is Moo Myeong.
But the interior I saw was much smaller.
About 7 meters in vertical length had disappeared.
Behind this, there's definitely a hidden place.
A hidden, secret space.
Madam Seol
-Yes, Ms. Can you open the door for me?
I had no idea you'd go as far as commanding the kitchen.
You're quite talented at shocking people.
Now that you've been admitted successfully, you'll go ahead and take control of the kitchen, right?
As fast possible, I'm going to get that position of Noodle Chef.
Then your first goal is to be the Assistant Noodle Chef?
As for the Assistant Noodle Chef, I'll get his submission first. Then, I'll work with him.
The saucier needs the help of the Assistant Noodle Chef.
I am going to make it four people.
How about the heads of each divisions?
The Entremetier is the Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon's person.
The Boucher isn't anything special.
But the Potager catches my eye.
Looking at his age or experience, he's the first one in line. But he's too quiet.
Decide first where you'll tackle first. I'll send in my support.
Oh, yeah, there will be an initiation.
It sounds nice when you say Initiation, but it's just a way to bother you with a smile.
I don't pay attention to things like that.
Rather...
What's this?
There's a secret room in the Noodle Master's office.
Are you sure?
Look at the plan.
There's an empty space the size of the current office.
Hmm.
A person who has a lot of secrets needs a place to hide those secrets.
I'm sure there sits the Noodle Master's secret inside that secret room.
It's like a ceremony.
I personally pin on the name tags of all the Sauciers.
I also personally take it off.
From now on, I hope that there will no reason for me to take that name tag off.
I'm sure you won't have too.
You're name is quite special. Moo Myeong-I don't think this is your given name.
My real name is Ha Jung Tae.
I changed my name because it was the same as the Noodle Master's.
To be honest, when I was younger, I was very weak
my name didn't even get recorded on the family record and was called Moo Myeong.
I've gotten used to the name, so Moo Myeong is more comfortable for me.
I also had a different name before.
We have a lot in common.
Let's go now.
Everyone listen up. I am never going to acknowledge that parachute (term meaning someone who got the job through connections within the company).
I can't stand the fact that a rock that rolled in is getting rid of the rock that's been around for a long time.
I'm going to chase them away by making every day a living hell for them.
Anyone have problem with that?
Ok. Go start.
The kitchen is made of noodle, soup, and meat divisions. Each division has a head.
The Noodle Chef is the chef of the entire kitchen. Under him, there's the Assistant Noodle Chef.
In the noodle division, palace noodles, traditional noodles...
In the soup division, broth and appetizers...
In the meat division, all meat dishes and drinking food... And the vegetable division take care of vegetable dishes.
The Kitchen... it's a place where a king's meals are prepared.
Only the best Sauciers can go in.
Do you always give a tour yourself?
Yesterday, I incurred a huge debt with you that I must pay back.
That's okay-I already forgot it.
I haven't forgotten.
I never forget any debts that I owe people.
Now, please start.
Today's first order is Nanmyeon.
Go ahead, start.
Did something happen yesterday night?
It wasn't anything, so forget it.
It doesn't look good to see big guys running around Goong Rak Won.
This isn't a place for kids to fight.
Let's make noodles. Not mess people up.
Do you always have to have the last word?
It's tiresome for you to constantly have the last word.
That's good.
I said it to tire you out.
Father.
This is Gang Sook. I heard you opened your eyes.
Can you hear me, father?
Aigoo, Father. Say something. Why won't you even move a finger for me?
Hello?
This is Secretary Hwang.
Why are you calling me?
I've something to tell you.
Forget it.
I know the who hit the noodle master in the hit and run.
Who is that person?
There's a saying the Noodle Master says all the time.
You block the ears with money and open the mouth with a beating. I don't believe in that.
Money closes the ears and opens the mouth.
Open my mouth with money.
You're teasing me. Have you seen anyone sanding off his skin because he's itchy?
I have to know who it is in order for me to buy into the proof.
Is it who I think it is?
Noodle Master ordered me.
I did it.
Do you have proof?
Hit-and-run's proof, let's talk when we meet.
I'll tell you another interesting thing when we meet, so
Make the deposit first and I also need a passport.
I processed everything, so just go and pick it up. I can' like as Hwang Seung Rok anymore.
Will Noodle Master stay still?
Hello? Secretary Ha!
Cry?
She didn't cry when her father went into vegetative state, but she's crying now?
She's crying for real.
Seung Rok...
That stupid Seung Rok...
I've been living with a monster.
You try living with a monster from now on.
Depot from Go Gang Sook $200,000.
Go Gang Sook
Thank you.
The weather's nice today, not too hot and a nice breeze.
Who are you waiting for?
Whoever I'm waiting, it isn't you.
The person you waiting for, he will not come.
I don't know what you heard, but that isn't true.
A cornered rat bites a cat but people tell lies.
I'm kind of sad that you're believing in a lie that is unbelievable.
Whether it's truth or lie, I'll determine. Don't try to give me your sloppy advice me.
You... You think I did that to your father?
I'm asking you. Do you really think that?
Don't fish for information. It won't work.
Everything starts with suspicion. Let not do that.
Why are you suspecting me? An honest person like myself.
You won't need the passport. You can just rip it up.
I'll resend you the money you deposited.
If you don't touch or mess with what is mine, I don't touch you.
Whoever touches or messes with what is mine, I won't leave them alone.
You almost committed both acts.
Let's just live like now.
Smile on the outside and despise each other on the inside. Wow, everyone looks so happy.
We should live like that too.
Since your outside already, go back slowly. Take a walk.
I caught him and turned him over to your men.
Yes. Good work.
I just feel uneasy... Never mind...
Nothing will happen, right?
Don't imagine it. Nothing will go wrong.
Then, I'm stepping out.
Hyungnim, jajangmyeon is getting soggy.
Eat it yourself.
Yes, hyungnim.
Hey! Let's start!
Seung Rok... I'll ask you one last time.
That friend, Moo Myeong, are you sure he's Choi Soon Seok?
I told you already.
I'll ask again. Is he Choi Soon Seok?
If I say you are right, will you spare me?
Then, let's say he isn't. Noodle Master,
It isn't the end now.
Grandfather, I'm here. This is Da Hae.
Do you remember the name you mentioned yesterday?
Kim Gil Do.
Kim. Gil. Do.
Do you have anything else you want to say about Kim Gil Do?
Okay. I'll start now.
(She's reciting the Korean alphabet.)
(She's reciting the Korean alphabet)
"Shiot"
Are you by chance talking about the murderer?
Is Kim Gil Do the murderer? Is that right?
Ma'am.
Oh, Dae Ha. You were here.
How is father?
Nothing's changed.
Go inside. I'll stay by his side.
Yes, Ma'am.
Father
Father, you can hear me right?
Please listen to me carefully.
The person who made you this way,
no, that blackhead animal,
I won't let them get away with this.
So, please get up.
On the day you get up
I'm going to chew that individual up.
Until then,
I don't know how I'm going to endure.
So, Father
please
get up. Please. I beg you.
Please?
He's the killer?
Who did he...
Let's talk.
I have nothing to discuss with you.
Kim Gil Do.
Why are you so surprised? That's your name.
Did you use a different name with me and my mother?
Did you really want to hide us?
How many names do you have? Which one is real?
How many times do I have to say it?
You are nothing to me.
If you want to mess around like this, go find out somewhere else.
And that name you just said, don't ever say it again.
-If anyone finds... And if they find out?
What will happen if they find out?
No-what if I tell everyone? What will happen then?
YOU!
Have you ever killed someone?
Kim Dae Ha. YOU!
Is something going on here?
There's no reason for the Noodle Master to be fighting with the laborer.
It doesn't look like you are being scolded either.
How should I understand this situation?
Kim Dae Ha. Please go in.
No, stay right there.
You have to precisely tell them what's wrong.
If you just go over it carelessly, then they will keep at it because they think it's ok.
Please don't make this a bigger deal than it is.
She looked like she's been having a hard time, so I was just encouraging her.
Is that right?
Yes, Ms.
Just because you say that doesn't mean I believe it.
However, I will pretend that I believe you.
I don't have room to take on your vicious words today, Madam.
I'm going in now.
Then, I will as well.
You start a fight, but then avoid the matter when I ask about it?
Huh, you see all sorts of things as you live.
Hey Puppy, what's going on this time of the night?
I have something to say. When are you free?
Time? I have too much time!
It's the Goon Rak Won? Wait a little.
I'll be there in a jiffy.
Why are you outside?
I was going to come find you inside.
I just came out for a moment.
The Saucier hasn't finished yet.
I-
Is everything alright?
By chance, is the person who killed my mom
the Noodle Master?
Hey, let's stop it now.
Why do you keep searching for answers that don't exist?
Uncle, you know.
You just have to tell me who it is.
Before I know that person's name, I can't give up.
It's not your father.
The person who killed your mother is not your father.
That, I can swear to Heaven.
Then who killed her?
I don't know. I really don't.
Do you know who Kim Gil Do is?
No, I told you I don't know.
Why are you digging around?!
Go.
I have nothing else to say to you.
Did you call me just for that? HEY!
I took care of it.
Go now.
Also, Noodle Master,
this was inside the wallet.
I think you need to see this.
The guy who ruined the banquet... No, Choi Soon Seok...
I found him.
Go out.
Congressman Choi.
Have you been well?
You'll know right away I'm lying if I told you I miss you, Congressman Choi.
Why don't you come over for some noodles?
I also have someone I want you to meet.
The palace pheasant buckwheat noodles, 3 serving. Goldongmyeon, 2 servings.
He's going to kill him.
Don't mind him. It's his initiation.
Oh, my... you speak so heartlessly.
You've kneaded before, too.
Kneading for just an hour makes your whole body ache.
He's been doing it for eight hours now.
Never mind other people's business. Go make pancakes, girl.
Oh man, look at that man.
I want to give him my arms.
Ayo!
Where have you been when the mood of the kitchen sucks?
Is he still making it by himself?
Not only kneading. Cutting, boiling, doing everything alone.
Is he a human?
What are you going to do? You want to suffer, too?
Stay still.
Pouring in the orders and even party orders...
Initiation is still alive and well.
You expected the backlash.
If he can't endure this much, he can't survive anyhow.
Beatings, terrible customs... isn't it only right to fix these bad habits?
Because we turn a blind eye to those things, they keep happening.
He's making 100 servings alone.
If you feel so sorry for him and can't stand to see him like that,
go ahead and help him with the dough.
Your words have a knife's edge.
You're the one who took out the sharp edge, Madam.
You're greedy over Goong Rak Won, too.
So, I can't be thrilled about Moo Myeong who came through you.
When the main players failed...
he's the pitcher who came in to save the game.
You should cheer him on rather than booing him.
You believe him too much,
Haven't you ever that you could get the short end of the stick?
You don't know me at all.
You have to trust someone to be betrayed.
Have you seen me trusting anyone?
If you don't believe people, then you won't have friends.
Just like you and I.
Closing light meal time.
Good work.
At this rate, he's going to die.
Is he human? Any other man would've fainted by noon.
He's been doing that for three days.
How's he human? He's an animal.
Animan... Anyway, today is the last day.
Let's see if he goes all the way to the end.
Noodle Maker.
Noodle Master asked for you.
Okay.
This place is such a killer.
If they built the congressman's office like this,
we'd work so hard for the people.
I know right?
I'm a bit hungry...
shall we eat some noodles first?
Before that, I've someone to introduce to you.
You'll be happy when you meet him.
Oh yea?
The only person I like is my wife.
That darn wife of mine... did she come all the way here to stuff herself with noodles?
Back then when we had drinks together, I think you never think about your wife.
That, let's not talk about past.
Congressman Choi.
Oh who is this? Aren't you Myeong?
Why are you here?
Oh? You got a job here?
It turned out that way.
You two know each other?
Of course. While I ran my campaign, if Myeong didn't volunteer making noodles...
I would've lost the election.
Senior centers, fishing village... all the votes...
he gathered all of them for me.
Is that so?
Last time, when I broke my nose on the door...
He made noodles for me then.
Wow... it's been a long time, man. You look so handsome.
Thank you.
Just as you said, Noodle Master asked for me.
Can you see the future? How can you get that right?
If I could see the future, do you think I would have been hit by a sword?
I've been betrayed by a certain someone.
Stop it. Should I die to let you live?
The world's really unfair.
How would I have known you'd come through Senator So Tae Seop?
You're so sickening... Going around and around...
you got yourself in Goong Rak Won.
The debt you owe me, Congressman Choi...
I'll get that back as well.
Sure, just a little. I need to survive, too.
Anyone useful this year?
There is one who stands out among the crowd.
Number one at the first and second exam. Top of the class at the training center?
- It's the highest score ever. - Why isn't she becoming a judge? Why a prosecutor?
- Tell me. - She's not too flexible.
Within the organization, she stands out too much.
She should have at least that much ambition for Prosecutor Choi.
I'm scared that she'd come in with the Prosecutor Office.
To that extent?
She grew up in the orphanage? Sarang Orphanage
Yes. Her parents were murdered.
That's the biggest thing that's holding me back.
I don't think you need to pay attention to her. 3. Family - Father, Chae Il Hwan, deceased. Mother Park So Won, deceased.
I think she's worth raising.
Why are you scared? You think I'd hurt you?
Don't copy sloppily in front of me.
It won't work on me.
Prosecutor.-Talk to me.
I wish you'd stop working on this case.
The statute of limitation has expired on this case.
You'll be in danger like Hyun Jung.
The higher-ups are also noticing. Why don't you just stop the case?
I...became a prosecturo because of this case. I can't give up.
Is prosecutor position a place of personal revenge?
- Detective Jung. - Chae Yeo Gyeong.
You, Tae Ha, Myeong... I took all of you to the orphanage.
I know better than anyone why this case is important to you.
But this isn't right.
Can a detective speak so informally to the prosecutor?
Relating to the Goong Rak Won's site move...
Please request files to relevant divisions and get ready to trace relevant people's bank accounts.
Prosecutor Choi.
Prosecutor.
I heard you won't budge at all. The rumor is all over the detective division that you're an idiot.
It's something I must do,
Especially from the Special Investigative Team Prosecutor...
I shouldn't have to hear that from you.
I see. Since we're in different divisions, the hierarchy is useless?
I don't mean that, but...
As of today, stop digging into that drug dealer Seo Gyeong Hwan.
Why is the status board so complicated?
Just because the status board looks complicated, doesn't mean you"ll raise your productivity.
The ones who do a great job investigate with their heads, not by scribbling.
Please stop.
Anyway, close the case and pack up.
Excuse me?!
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Gyeong of Criminal Investigative Team. I order your transfer to the Special Investigative Team.
Report to your Chief and come up.
Special Investigative Team is on the seventh floor. You know, right?
What are you saying all of a sudden?
How can a new recruit join the Special Investigative Team?
Who is the strongest among the prosecutors?
The one with great connections.
It must be nice. It's nice.
From now, let's get along well.
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Gyeong is here.
District Attorney.
Welcome, Prosecutor Chae. You wanted to see me?
I have some questions regarding my promotion.
I'm still new and I lack experience.
The sudden request flustered me.
And so?
Maybe... there's another reason?
Your words are correct.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the Special Investigative Team is the Prosecution Office's best.
That's why I believe you're qualified.
Excuse me?
When we work on politically sensitive cases or dig into the critical factors involving the powerful...
Having many connections get in the way.
I need someone who can work only for justice.
So, do well without any worries.
- But...- See you again.
Congressman!
How are you?
She looks quite sharp.
As you mentioned, I placed her in the Special Investigative Team.
You support her from now on, Senator.
Shouldn't we have a meal together one of these days?
That sounds nice.
Do you know told your father to kill those people?
I know.
What are you doing here?
Let's have a talk.
Noodle Master knew my father.
Since he's with me all the time...
How can he not know?
The person who ordered to kill my father...
He said he knows.
Yea?
Is that true?
I don't know.
How would I know what he's thinking?
I'm going to meet.
Really?
I want to hear him.
I want to meet and find out what kind of person he is and why it had to be my father...
I'm going to ask him.
Let's go!
I'll drive you there.
I feel stuffy. I need some fresh air.
Here!
Would you like to order?
So tacky...
You'll be called a country bumpkin if you read the menu.
They will make whatever noodle you want.-Ah...
Then, can you make grain noodles? Made with rice noodles?
Of course.
I'll take chicken noodles.
Ah, you don't use cold buckwheat noodle broth here, right?
We use chicken broth.
So tacky...
Man... some places use cold buckwheat noodle broth with MSG
and tenderize chicken meat using glacial acetic acid.
I'll prepare it.-Ok.
This is the last order.
This is the last order!
Grain noodles using rice noodles.
And chicken noodles.
The last order is ready.
Come in.
Sit there.
Do you want to know how to buy the law?
Before that,
I want to know who made my father like that.
Nothing will change even if you know now.
I'm saying you can't do anything, Tae Ha.
Even if I told you who, you can't touch a hair on his body.
I will decide what to do.
I'll tell you honestly.
If you attack now, you'll die, Tae Ha.
You should give up and run. Why are you making that decision now?
Come work for me.
Grow your strength and add my power to that.
Perhaps you'd be able to do something then.
Then I'll tell you who ordered your father.
I shouldn't have come.
I'll be back.
See you again.
I hope you come a bit mature then.
I don't touch anything as long as anything of mine isn't touched or hurt.
But if anything of mine is touched or hurt...
Whoever that may be, I won't just stand back.
Madam, a package for you.
Leave it there.
I know what you're trusting in as you push your way in.
You believe I won't hurt you.
Don't be mistaken. You mean nothing to me.
That corpse-like old man and you are the same to me.
We're meaningless?
If you were my father-No! If you were a human!
You should never say that.
Because of your meaningless actions...
I'm living in hell now, did you know?
Myeong.
