(Episode 04)
Sound waves connect souls together.
Yeo Kyung thought the sound of happiness...
would last forever.
Until all the sounds of the world...
disappeared.
By the time sounds came back,
all the sounds connected to Yeo Kyung...
were torn to pieces.
Right then,
the sound of the telephone saved Yeo Kyung's life.
And when...
the telephone rang,
it sounded like...
the gates of misery were opening up.
(Mr Ha Jung Tae of Goongnakwon)
She is unconscious. How can she even make a statement?
We need Chae Yeo Kyung as a witness.
We have to talk to her now.
She is a victim before being a witness.
She is a rape victim.
I told you many times.
We need a statement from the witness.
- Get in. - You can't talk to her now.
She needs to rest.
Yeo Kyung.
- Don't come out. - Let me go.
What is happening?
Why am I a witness?
Then...
who is the murderer?
Tell me. Who's the murderer here?
Give me that.
Yeo Kyung, it's okay. Everything will be fine.
Calm down. It's okay.
Don't worry. It is going to be fine.
Yeo Kyung!
We need to call the police.
Yeo Kyung needs to go to the hospital.
No.
What are you going to do? We will be in trouble if things go wrong.
Take good care of Yeo Kyung. Don't take your eyes off her.
Myeong!
Tae Ha.
Tae Ha!
Tae Ha! What are you doing?
How is Yeo Kyung doing?
Give me that.
Go back to her.
Go take care of Yeo Kyung.
I can't send you like this.
Don't even think about it.
It is an accident committed by a teenager.
The court will consider extenuating circumstances if I turn myself in.
What about your plan to become a policeman?
It's been your lifelong dream.
I just woke up...
- from that dream. - Park Tae Ha!
I'm leaving.
Don't you dare leave.
(Plaque of Appreciation)
I owe Yeo Kyung something.
It is something that I have to take care of.
You should...
just do what you have to do.
And I hope...
you will be able to deal with it.
When the gates of misery are open,
there is nowhere left to run.
You must go in and fight.
You must fight and survive.
(Mr Ha Jung Tae of Goongnakwon)
(Delete)
(Mr Ha Jung Tae of Goongnakwon)
He will call until someone answers.
If no one answers, he will visit.
I must pick up.
This is Ha Jung Tae.
Let's see the other tape.
The one that shows Choi Soon Seok's face.
Who is this?
You called the wrong number.
This is my new phone number.
Oh, I apologise.
Excuse me.
(Plaque of Appreciation)
That day,
the murderer became the witness,
and the witness...
made himself a murderer.
That is how...
Tae Ha left us.
The orphanage director...
changed his number and went into hiding.
He was bluffing.
Forget about him.
And Choi Soon Seok, too?
When hunting, you can chase,
or you can set a trap.
Now is the time for a trap.
I'm not on a hunt.
I'm just looking for a friend's son.
Catching or searching.
What is the difference?
(Personal File)
(Noodle Expert Ha Kwon Il)
(First Ever Noodle Master Ha Jung Tae)
I have one shot left.
Do you want to take a picture together?
You know I don't take photos.
Come on.
Just one.
I don't have any photos with you.
Please?
(3 months later)
This area used to be a room.
This was the kitchen.
There was a door here.
Where have you gone
Every day
The price of this land went up hundreds of times,
but it still reeks.
This is why land is great.
It never changes.
What doesn't change doesn't betray you.
The mountains behind it act like a folding screen,
and in the front, you have a large yard, which is great.
It's all thanks to you.
I didn't do much.
I'm finally repaying a bit of what I owed you in Masan.
Let's help each other.
If you stand alone here, everyone tries to pull you down.
I hope you'll help me.
It's cold up here.
Let's meet somewhere warmer next time.
Are you happy to be home?
The corners of your mouth are going up.
My goodness.
Your beard is so stiff.
They're like nails on a board.
Father.
Do you know?
I talk to you more now than I did when you were well.
He knows you came home today, but I still haven't seen him.
My husband's on cloud nine because he's moving to Gangnam.
Stay with us.
If you die now,
all our hard work will go to the dogs.
He might succeed in Gangnam, or he might fail.
Let's see what happens.
There's nothing else we can do right now.
Here are the details of the Gangnam Goongnakwon project.
Located in Ilwon-dong, Gangnam-gu,
the site is a total of 28,000 square metres.
We plan to reproduce the beauty and luxury...
of old palaces and mansions...
by following traditional architectural designs.
The basic concept uses Korean colours and design...
on a Hanok-style restaurant.
It will be a cultural complex...
where the past meets the present.
Gangnam Goongnakwon will merge the past and the present...
and become a cultural space in the centre of Seoul.
- Well done. - Thank you.
Can you all excuse your director and I?
Is there a problem?
An attorney is required by law to keep a secret.
A doctor is forbidden from sharing details of...
a patient's condition or private life.
What about you?
We don't have such a law.
I have a secret.
And it must be kept.
Right here. Build a secret room.
A secret room?
It must be completely segregated and no one can know about it.
No one can know what goes on inside.
Simply put,
it's should be a place where time passes at a different speed.
Can you do that?
Would you like to read the paper?
No.
The top right-hand corner of the general news page.
You should read it.
(The Director of Sarang Orphanage Gets Murdered)
I'll give it a try.
I'm sure he'll see me.
Will you be okay?
Give this to him.
He should have it.
I agree. He should have it.
If you speak, I'll leave.
So just listen.
- Tae Ha. - If I go now,
we won't be able to meet for three years.
Right.
I gained 2kg.
I've grown taller, too.
I'm still a teenager, so I'm not done growing.
I'm a minor, so I'm kept separately.
I get along with the others, so don't worry.
It's not over for me yet.
I'm just...
postponing my start, that's all.
Do me a favour.
Become a prosecutor.
Case number 1994-J-5021.
Look into it.
That's the reason I wanted to become a police.
That's also the reason...
I'm in here.
What are you talking about?
Tae Ha.
Wait.
Take this.
Thanks.
I'll keep it well.
Bye.
How dare the youngest accept a visitor without reporting?
Don't you think he deserves another beating?
I grovelled to you jerks...
to keep my face pristine.
"You jerks"?
Did you just hear what he said?
I didn't want to make someone cry.
Someone who'd be wracked by guilt.
But I don't have to worry about that any more.
What?
Have you lost your mind?
The male lion crushed the pride of hyenas.
There's was only one way to do that.
It was to kill the alpha female.
How is he?
Yeo Kyung.
What?
He gained some weight and grew taller.
He smiled as if nothing had happened.
Will you take the college entrance exam?
And you?
I might learn a skill.
I heard a welder earns a lot.
What about you?
I'm not sure.
Is it time to go our separate ways?
I'll think of you whenever I see noodles.
See you all in three years when Tae Ha gets out.
If you don't show up,
our friendship's over.
Okay. See you guys then.
Go ahead. I'll stay a while.
Look after yourself.
You, too.
Where do you think you're going?
Stay still!
(Child record of Moo Myeong)
I remember you.
What was your name again?
Why are you here?
Is the orphanage closed?
It is under construction.
It says "No admittance to outsiders" at the entrance.
Does it?
Please leave the building.
I heard that...
the director was beaten to death.
He died instantly.
He was just accused of embezzlement...
and beaten to death.
I just can't understand.
Was there anything else that happened?
Get out of here now.
When people feel horror, their pupils dilate...
so that they can see the target even better.
And their jaw drops a little.
It's to get ready...
to cry out for help.
That's what you are doing now.
Why?
Why are you terrified?
Are you afraid that I'll harm you?
I have no reason to be terrified by you.
Don't even try to pretend anything in front of me.
Don't pretend like you don't know.
It doesn't work on me.
I need to check the records of the children.
From 1995 to now.
Without exception.
Now!
You can access the records...
only when you need to see them in the execution of official duty.
That means you are not allowed to access the records.
You are trespassing.
- I will see you again. - Who do you want to meet?
The police? Or news reporters?
Yeo Kyung, are you all right?
Fund embezzlement and attempted rape.
He doesn't sound like a good man.
I know. He deserved to die.
But that doesn't mean that all the things he said were lies.
Every time I get in there,
I feel like he might have told me the truth.
Find out more about the murder case.
Just the murder case?
Please tell me the starting point.
Then I will work on that.
Come live with me.
You can study at my house.
Do you remember the supporter?
He sends money on the last day of every month.
He never missed it even once for the past three years.
Use the money for the children.
- Yeo Kyung. - I...
will steel myself.
I have to.
Please take good care of the children.
Gosh.
Gosh. This is too tight.
You tied it too hard. No one's going to take it anyway.
It's a dangerous world where...
people even steal from the poor.
For me, these are practically my life.
So I have to tie them up real tight.
You are good at this.
Thank you very much.
Do you need a hand?
No, it's okay. Your clothes will get dirty.
Oh, dear.
My goodness. How kind of you.
The pink skirt rustling in the spring breeze
Today
I'm a cheerful woman like this.
I feel better when I sing like this.
I'm chewing on my coat string
I walk on the road with swallows flying
When flowers bloom
Did she abandon me to live like this?
Number 1148. Come out.
This is a good watch.
It's high in scarcity value, too.
It wouldn't suit you, though.
It's a keepsake from my father.
It's 3,000 dollars, and the interest is 2.9 percent.
I'll hold this for a year.
I see, okay.
Make sure you come back for it.
You shouldn't leave your father's keepsake here.
All right.
(Always stay healthy. Don't even catch a cold.)
You want to hear the starting point?
When I returned,
the whole place was covered in fire.
People were only afraid of the fire blazing into the mountains.
They all forgot about the people who lived there.
People didn't even realise...
that only two bodies were found in a household of three.
He was like a brother to me,
and Soon Seok was practically my son.
That's the reason why I've been looking for him for over 10 years.
That's the beginning and the end of the story.
So now, tell me your plan.
It's very rare to find bodies...
which have been burnt to death without family.
I am sure they were used as a cadaver for a medical school.
Hello.
What's up?
I actually have an assignment from school.
Do you think I can take a look around?
My goodness, that won't do.
This is not a place for everyday person like you.
I am writing a thesis on deceased without family or friends.
Please, Sir.
There is nothing to see here. Go back home.
My noodles are getting soggy.
Sir, please use this money for your cigarettes or something.
My goodness, young man.
You are not supposed to do this.
Are you a college student?
I am, Sir.
My gosh, I can't let down someone who wants to study this badly.
- Follow me. - Yes, Sir.
Absolutely no pictures are allowed. Do you understand?
You can just take a look around and come back out.
(Authorised personnel only)
Everyone who died without families are cremated,
then they are put in this storage for 10 years.
We need to make more space, so if no one comes to pick them up,
we let them go.
Goodness gracious.
Doesn't that sound awful?
There are many unknown people...
in this storage.
Also, here lied...
my mother and my father.
(Deceased without family, Choi Ok Shim)
What? Sir.
Sir.
Sir, come on.
Sir, open the door.
Sir.
Sir, open the door, please.
What are you doing?
Please, open the door.
Sir, open the door.
Sir, come on.
Sir.
Sir, open the door.
So what?
He must visit every year.
Even stopped watches tell the right time twice a day.
It'll be worth waiting for.
Hello?
Hello, Detective.
I'm calling from Bongpyeong Storage for Ashes.
I'm calling to report that vicious criminal...
who's here to look for someone named Choi Ok Shim.
I think I have him.
I'll be there soon.
Do not do anything until we get there.
Okay, of course, Sir.
Sir, please!
Go in, you fools!
Once you get used to the darkness,
you will be able to see.
You can't see me,
but I can see you.
Sir, are you okay?
Get him. Right now!
Yes, Sir.
- Go and check. - Yes, Sir.
No.
I see blood stains.
What's wrong? Does that fishnet have a hole?
Rice fish won't get caught by you.
If it does, it's probably dead.
I never said I was catching rice fish.
I'm going to catch a snakehead.
Are you trying to copy me?
No, you are copying me.
You're a little troublemaker.
Soon Seok, come here and have some noodles. Hurry up.
Come on.
Eat up.
No.
Wait, wait for me, please.
Wait.
Wait for me.
He was here.
Find him.
Go through the entire mountain if you have to.
If we don't find him, we're the ones who'll be killed.
Do you want to find me that badly?
Is that what you want?
Fine.
I will walk into your stomach.
So try your best to find me.
If you fail to find me,
I will rip open your stomach and walk out.
(Mr Ha Jung Tae)
Yes, Sir.
Did you catch him?
He's dead.
Do you want to check and see?
(Kim Gil Do, the noodle maker of Goongnakwon)
(Case number 1994-J-5021)
We were separated,
and we began to live in different times.
Nobody will know...
how we will have turned out when we get back together again.
(Goongnakwon)
I will become more ferocious...
as times goes by,
and I will become colder.
I will be like a beast.
I will live in a beast's time.
(Master of Revenge)
You didn't even put in the watershield plant in the water.
It was obviously your fault.
You're bold.
I'm going to crush your mouth first.
Live your years and come back out.
I'll show you something funny.
Why are you tailing me?
It's for your sake.
We can lose the noodle master, Mr Min.
I won't let him investigate or walk into Goongnakwon.
I won't allow any of that.
