[Episode 11]
Kim Gil Do?
[Kim Gil Do] How do you know that name?
Don't ever say that name again.
And what if I do?
You!
It wasn't fake?
It was his real name?
Mom?
Mom...
Go all the way.
You absolutely must keep this a secret.
Nobody can find out.
My lips are sealed.
Don't worry.
And...
Madame Go told me to keep an eye on Da Hae.
Now I'll have to keep going back and forth.
Find out how much Madame Go knows about Da Hae.
But...
when are you going to go face to face with Ha Jung Tae?
Don't forget.
I've been rotting in this place for the last decade
just so I can strangle him.
I've already begun.
And it won't take long.
Get it done.
If you take too long
I'll take it into my own hands.
Kim Da Hae.
Ha Jung Tae's daughter.
But...
that's a secret that nobody can find out.
Is this why you wanted to get inside of Goong Rak Won?
Or...
is there another reason?
Why the sudden visit?
I need to have a reason to come here?
It's been a while since I've seen you.
Since when are we so close?
Do you know how many laundered checks have been issued to Goong Rak Won?
Our branch made it possible for those checks to be untraceable.
I don't know if you remember.
I paid you for your troubles.
Right.
Did I tell you that my youngest child is going abroad to study?
The tuition fees...
They're ridiculous!
Geez.
And why are plane tickets so expensive?
I don't know why I'm telling you all of this.
Isn't it difficult, raising a family?
You agree, right?
You'll see Branch Manager Park in the parking lot.
Give that to him.
What is this?
Don't ask me questions.
Just do as I say.
Yes, sir.
Are you Branch Manager Park?
What took you so long?
What is this, a joke?
Why is Mom's picture in that drawer?
Why does he have Mom's keepsake?
He's the one who abandoned us!
Why does he have that?
Are you okay?
Outsiders aren't allowed in here.
- I... I just... - Do you want me to scream?
I'm not an outsider.
I'm a chauffeur.
If you don't live here, then you're an outsider.
I'm sorry.
Hold on a second.
I'm done crying.
Oh... okay.
You're a chauffeur?
For who?
Master Ha.
Forget it. Just go.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I can't pretend I don't see it.
You have flour. Under your eye.
Stay still.
I'll go, then.
I told you all of my secrets.
If they find out that we're from the same orphanage, it's all over.
Knowing all of that...
why are you still here?
When I went away
I thought I would be able to start fresh after I did my time.
Since I got out of jail
I've felt more punished than when I was inside of it.
I'm sick of trying to free myself from sinking quicksand.
I'm here for my own sake.
I want to get recognized and make something of myself.
That's all.
Cut the crap!
You don't think I know you?
You would never do this for your own sake.
And, Tae Ha...
You don't know me.
Just like I don't know you.
You know what I regret more than anything else in my entire life?
Going to prison for someone else.
Do you really mean
what you just said?
Everything I just said is true.
I've changed.
Just like you've changed.
I gave the box to Branch Manager Park, sir.
Unless I tell you to stop
keep an eye on Kim Da Hae.
Are you telling me to protect her?
Watch her.
Don't let her go by the office.
Yes, sir.
I already told Master Ha.
I wanted to hear what you thought.
Tell me.
I want to make Kim Da Hae
an official noodle-maker.
No.
I told you, it's too early.
Strange.
A man entirely null and void of emotion gets so riled up when we discuss her.
Is there something that I don't know?
Since Noodle-Maker Moo Myung has resolved our broth problem
our sales have been skyrocketing.
I don't see why Kim Da Hae wouldn't be just as good as he is.
What do you think, Madame Seol?
They say that watching people fight is the best spectacle in the world.
But it's no fun at all, probably because I've seen you two fight so much.
Since you asked, I'll answer.
I'm for it.
If you object, speak up.
Not that you'll change my decision.
You are
making a mistake.
I've already thought...
that I might be making a mistake.
But judging by your reaction
I don't think that I've made a mistake.
Noodle-Maker Kim Da Hae.
Yes?
Did you...
say noodle-maker?
Out of all the staffers training here, you have been the best.
I'm sure that everyone can agree.
Good job.
Go see Master Ha, and get your name tag.
Thank you.
Noodle-Maker Kim Da Hae.
It's a formality.
I put every employee's name tag on myself.
And
I take them off as well.
I hope I won't have to
take this one off.
Kim Gil Do.
That was your real name?
Stop acting up.
There's only so much that I can take.
[Noodle-Maker Kim Da Hae]
Mom.
Did you even love her?
You better never go in the den.
I mean that, never.
Noodle-Maker Kim Da Hae. Congratulations.
Congratulations.
You've gone up a step.
Keep going up.
Show him.
Thank you.
When are you free?
Let's go celebrate with a drink.
You know I can't drink.
Oh... That's right.
Was it, two drinks that made you pass out?
It was one.
After the second one, I was in REM sleep.
Do you have something for me?
There was a big safe on the wall.
I couldn't open it because it was locked with a passcode.
This is more dangerous than I thought.
What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
Any other pictures?
I almost got caught.
I had to get out quickly, so that's all I have.
Can I trust you?
You don't trust anyone.
Your favorite hobby is suspecting people of things.
Okay, I'll believe you this time.
But next time, I'll need more.
That's hard. I could get caught.
Just don't get caught.
Goong Rak Foundation and a safe to store cash...
I can only think of one thing.
Money laundering.
I knew he was up to something, but I had no idea it was this.
Nothing works better than money to get one to mingle with the powerful.
Especially dirty money.
They can't betray one another.
If they do, they'll both go down.
That's exactly it.
I don't want Goong Rak Won to be exposed to such a dangerous situation.
I agree.
Let's find a way.
That's enough for today.
I saw that Kim Da Hae became an official noodle-maker.
Whose idea was that?
Madame Go pushed for it, and I helped.
Why did you do that?
She probably thinks that Da Hae is loyal to her. Even though she's wrong.
Noodle-makers spend their entire day in the kitchen.
Of course.
She won't be able to go to the outbuilding.
She won't have a chance to do anything else.
She must have pushed for the promotion to get her away from the outbuilding.
No way...
There must be something in the outbuilding.
Something that nobody can find out.
You don't have time to visit me anymore.
I came to thank you.
It's all thanks to you.
I haven't even had the chance to congratulate you.
You deserved it, you deserved it. Don't thank me.
The fact that everyone approved proves that you deserved it.
Nobody... objected?
Even Master Ha agreed to it.
How...
is Grandpa doing?
Geez. He won't even blink his eyes at me.
Da Hae.
You're the only one that I can trust at Goong Rak Won.
You are the only one who knows how I feel.
From time to time, I think about how I wish that you were my daughter.
I worry that I might get hurt, counting on you so much.
But what can I do? I simply like you.
You don't need to worry about that.
Do you mean that?
Can you promise me that?
Yes.
Thanks.
Just listening to you makes my heart melt.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir?
Sous-chef.
Someone complained that the noodles keep breaking.
This is the third complaint today already.
Okay.
Please apologize to the costumer.
I'll make them again.
Okay.
What is it?
This brine is different than the brine from yesterday.
Compare it.
It's a little less salty.
What's going on?
The brine is different.
It's a lot more watered down than yesterday.
It seems like it's been diluted.
On humid days like today, the noodles tend to be less sticky.
The diluted brine is making it worse, making them break easily.
We need to get the brine right.
A place like Goong Rak Won can't use store-bought brine.
But it takes a long time to make our own brine.
We can't just not do it, because it takes time.
A sunny place, without direct sunlight...
Oh, this is a good spot.
Put it here.
First, put the sea salt on top of the jar.
This is no special method.
I know how to do this myself.
You mix in buckwheat powder too?
Buckwheat powder?
Buckwheat powder will help with the stickiness of the dough.
One spoonful of powder, to one bowl of brine.
That's how I make the brine.
It sounds like a secret method.
Why are you sharing it with me?
So the noodles taste better.
Do you need another reason?
Fine. Let's try it.
But if there are no results, we'll stop it right away.
Sous-chef.
With buckwheat noodles, you can use shrimp stock instead of brine too.
It adds to the stickiness, and makes the noodles chewy.
I've been doing this for 15 years.
I've never heard of using shrimp stock.
Just because you've never heard of it, doesn't mean it's impossible.
I've done it before.
It's pretty good.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Fine. Let's try both ways.
We'll do whatever it takes.
If we keep trying, something is bound to work.
I've never heard of using shrimp stock either.
Didn't you tell me to stop showing off?
Not when it comes to noodles.
I didn't know a lot about noodles.
I didn't eat them much, and nobody ever taught me.
So I just kept making them.
That's how I found out about using shrimp stock.
But, it really is good.
You can taste the shrimp every time you bite into it.
They'll taste good with brisket broth.
How did you know?
I got the best results when I mixed shrimp stock with brisket broth.
- The ratio... - Five to one?
How did you know?
Isn't it amusing?
- Amusing? - We can talk about noodles forever.
That's true.
And endure the new employee ceremony, as long as possible.
So I can rest too.
It's good.
Especially the shrimp roe noodles.
It's sweet, and has a clean aftertaste.
I didn't know that you were so imaginative.
Did you...
put buckwheat powder into the brine?
Yes, ma'am.
I think it helps with the stickiness.
That's how we used to make the brine during the Chi Myun Restaurant days.
Even though we don't do that anymore.
It definitely makes it sticky and gives it solid flavor.
Aren't you the one who stopped using that method?
That was the only way we could supply the demand.
I like the shrimp roe noodles too.
Are you trying to ask us to promote you to Head Chef?
It's great, and the sales are going up too.
Sous-chef.
I'm seeing you in a different light.
You can go.
It was Moo Myung's idea to put buckwheat powder into the brine.
And the shrimp roe noodle, is Kim Da Hae's creation.
I can't take credit for either of them.
All I did, was carry out their creative thinking.
How stubborn.
You're so hard-headed.
I'm sorry.
It's a compliment.
You could have taken full credit for this.
But you admitted the truth.
That's not easy to do.
You can go, Sous-chef.
Okay.
I think we can make him Head Chef.
Everyone respects him well.
His skills are a little lacking
but his command of the kitchen makes up for it.
What do you think?
There's no need to rush things.
We've waited this long. Let's keep watching him.
Is this because of Moo Myung?
Stop dreaming.
Even if he becomes the head chef, you won't be running the show here.
Running the show?
Rather offensive, but you're making me want to do it.
The reason sales went up is because Moo Myung got the broth right again.
He's qualified, no overqualified.
He just became a noodle-maker.
Head Chef?
Don't short Goong Rak Won.
There's no question that the clan will oppose.
They just like whoever makes them more money.
You still don't know that?
Let's think about it.
That's enough. For today.
No.
Since we started this, I would like to finish it.
How about we put Moo Myung
and the sous-chef
up against each other?
Stop the nonsense!
You startled me. Why is that nonsense?
If you keep turning me down, I'll have to get the clan involved.
Do you want to see what will happen then?
You're going to keep this up?
I officially propose a competition.
Madame Go will be against it
so I guess it's up to you.
Please give me time to think.
I'll get back to you by tomorrow.
Madame.
Da Hae. Go bring me the sous-chef.
The sous-chef... The sous-chef is in Master Ha's office.
What?
A competition?
You'll be facing off against Moo Myung.
He... He just became a noodle-maker!
I've been the sous-chef for the past five years!
If you give up, you'll be the sous-chef for ten years.
It's your choice.
Listen carefully.
I will make you... win that competition.
There isn't even a one percent chance that you'll lose.
But, you'll have to promise that you will work for me.
I'll compete with my own skills.
I refuse to use dirty tactics.
How stubborn.
You're so hard-headed.
And that's not a compliment.
If Moo Myung becomes the head chef, you'll have to quit.
You want to let your 15 years of hard work go to waste?
Do it with your own skills.
You won't lose.
I'll just assist you a little bit, from the side.
I don't mind becoming your person.
But if I become the head chef with your help
then the past 15 years of my life will mean nothing.
I may not be perfect, but I want to win, using my own skills.
You don't understand?
If you pledge loyalty to me, I will put you in whatever position you want.
If you turn down my offer, I'll kick you out of Goong Rak Won.
Your eyes might start cramping up. You should take it easy.
How can his accounting records be cleaner than the records of an accountant?
No records of illegal activities.
No records of illegal contracts.
Take a look at this.
Sixteen arrested for illegal gambling.
The arrested include a company president, a lawyer, a bank branch manager...
What's this?
That bank branch manager is from Gwang Myung's Naegok branch.
He was gambling with 480 million won, including a few checks.
Do you know who issued those checks?
Goong Rak Won?
You got him?
Who should I summon first?
Mr. Yoon was arrested on the 31st for running the illegal gambling site.
The sixteen men who participated include a bank branch manager...
Did you know that Branch Manager Park was a gambler?
I didn't look into his personal life.
You didn't give him any money behind my back, did you?
He was whining about his youngest child going abroad to study
so I gave him the money to pay for the plane ticket.
The prosecutors will pry into this. What are you going to do, huh?
If we get investigated, all of the money that we've accumulated, we'll lose it!
Why are you so fearful? Very different than what I thought.
It's not that I'm fearful.
It's that you are fearless!
You want me to teach you how to live fearlessly?
I know.
I had no idea that he was a gambler.
Witness investigation?
Just come enjoy a cup of coffee.
The one in charge is a rookie. We'll take care of her.
Don't worry about anything.
Well then, I'll come by to enjoy some tea with you.
Yeah.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Stop worrying about other things, and worry about yourself.
They'll start the investigation. Right?
They will search for any and all pieces of evidence they can find.
How can I not be worried?
Even if Branch Manager Park stays quiet, what about Deputy Manager Choi?
You think he'll keep his mouth shut, if the prosecutors grill him?
It won't get that far.
And if it does, we'll stop him.
I will stop him.
Busy?
No.
Walk me out.
How's the job going?
I like driving.
If driving was the whole job, there would be no problems.
Oh, my...
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Pretend not to know, like that?
Yeah.
That's easy.
Tae Ha.
Listen carefully to what I have to say.
Master Ha and you are already in the dumpster. You can't get out.
Do you know how the one in the dumpster gets back at his friend?
He smears the trash on his friend.
Master Ha will give you an order soon. If you're going to do it, do it right.
If you don't want to do it, it's not too late to quit.
Let me say this again.
If you hesitate for one second, you're done.
Do you understand?
I don't plan on looking back.
That's the problem with you.
You should look, back once in awhile.
You're not a turtle. You can't just look ahead.
You weren't able to protect my father.
But I will protect my friends.
Friends?
There's more?
So busy, you are.
Are you a worker bee?
[Master Ha]
Yes?
I'll get it ready.
Where am I taking you?
The Central Prosecutor's Office.
What?
Seoul Central Prosecutor's Office.
Why?
You've had bad experiences with them in the past?
No, sir.
May I ask you... why you're going to the prosecutor's office?
I'm sorry, sir.
No, you can ask that.
I'm going there to enjoy a cup of tea.
Okay.
Oh, okay, yes.
Ha Jung Tae has been summoned?
She knows how to play the game.
She's spiking down all my volleys.
Listen to me very carefully.
Don't get involved in this case.
Just watch from the sidelines.
I'm going to watch how well she takes care of this case.
You don't know me?
Once I...
decide to use someone...
I'm in, all the way.
Branch Manager Park is still staying silent?
He's trying to buy himself some time. I think he's counting on something.
He admitted to borrowing the money, but he won't say who loaned it to him.
I'll have to see this man that he's counting on.
Summon Deputy Manager Choi, the branch manager's man.
I'm sure we'll be able to get something out of him.
Prosecutor Chae's office?
Yes, Director.
Yes, sir.
The director is looking for you.
Director.
- Assistant Director. - Come in.
Say hello, this is Master Ha from Goong Rak Won.
And this is the prosecutor in charge.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Ha Jung Tae.
I'm Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung.
Have a seat.
I'm sorry.
But having a private meeting with a witness...
What are you saying?
Are you saying that the director is trying to taint the case?
No, but I can't bring myself to understand this situation.
Did somebody ask you to understand this?
Chief Prosecutor. Do I need to get yelled at for stating what I think is wrong?
Hey!
You may go.
I don't need her to get the wrong idea.
I'm sorry if I've offended you.
Is she crazy?
I don't think that I can enjoy tea with this kind of atmosphere.
The last order for today is chung myun.
It's tradition for the new noodle-maker to make the last order on her first day.
Will that be possible?
Well...
When you say chung myun...
Do you mean mixing starch powder into water, pouring it onto a thin fabric
adding berry water to the noodles, making it into noodles with a beverage?
- Is that right? - That's right.
Noodle-maker Kim Da Hae Will you be able to make it?
Yes!
- You can take it out. - Yes.
Let's finish up then.
Thank you, everyone.
Good job.
Why have you changed so suddenly?
You were so mean to me, and now you are so nice.
Which side is the real you?
Why are you starting with me again?
Shouldn't you thank me first?
Yes! Thank you!
I really am thankful.
I'm used to trying to make it on my own.
I love the feeling of being cared for.
I came here determined to succeed.
I shouldn't get so soft.
Don't worry.
You're already doing well.
I'm sure...
your father will be proud too.
Don't say that.
You didn't tell him about your promotion?
I said stop.
I'm sorry. It's been a busy day.
It's okay.
You're not hungry?
I'm hungry.
I haven't had a single meal today.
I am not hungry.
Are you aware that out of Branch Manager Park's gambling funds
there were checks issued by Goong Rak Won?
They found a lighter from a Jeju Island bar in my friend's pocket.
But he's never been there before.
Even lighters travels overseas. It's much easier for checks to travel.
Don't you think that you're abusing your powers
calling me in for something like this?
I got your tail. I need to see the rest of you.
And... I'm not abusing my powers. I'm just doing my job.
What was the most recent time you met with Branch Manager Park?
Most recent...
I'm not sure what you mean by most recent...
But I don't remember.
It's been so long.
I guess this will take some time then.
I don't think that we'll be done any time soon. You should call your wife.
Tell her not to nag, since you're not out drinking.
Is there... a reason you're doing this?
Yes.
Don't try to use my superiors to get your way.
I'll make sure you never get your way.
Oh... So scary.
I just got chills.
I guess you can go from rags to riches.
Seeing as to how you became a prosecutor, after growing up in an orphanage.
Should we... make a bet?
I bet that you will be dismissed from this case today.
So, don't work yourself up.
The prosecutor's office is an independent government entity.
You can't shake me up.
Even ten years ago, I had no problem shaking up a rookie prosecutor.
Go to Ahyeon.
Recite the prosecutor's code of conduct! Right now.
- Why are you asking me to do that? - Recite it!
A prosecutor must obey the prosecution director's orders.
All must become one unit to act in unison.
Remove yourself from this case, and wait for a new assignment.
I can't do that.
What?
I'm running an audit on the check.
And I'm summoning the branch manager's man, Deputy Manager Choi.
And Master Ha of Goong Rak Won--
You!
Are you out of your mind?
I'm glad that you know that now.
The director said that I'm perfect for the Special Forces Department
since I have no assets or connections.
I can't let the director down.
No connections?
I know you're counting on So Tae Sup to back you up.
Are you playing games?
Please take back what you just said.
Don't forget this.
Connections or not, you can't do anything about the hierarchy in this office.
The entire prosecutor's office will collapse if you do.
So, try all you want.
I'll show you what happens to rookies... that don't know their place.
Don't ask me why.
As soon as I tell you to, get out of the car.
I've made my decision, so don't make any decisions of your own.
Let me tell you one more time.
If you hesitate for one second, you're done.
Do you understand?
His money for his beating.
Shut him up by beating him up.
Then keep that mouth shut by shoving money in his mouth.
That's my way.
No more, no less.
Beat him up just enough, so he can crawl back home.
Get out.
Punk!
No...
Please don't kill me...
Start the car.
I want to be alone.
Leave me alone.
You don't hear me?
- Go away. - I don't hear you.
- Yell louder. - Get away from me!
Louder.
It smells like gas
blood.
and... old letters.
The scent of longing.
Fortunately, that scent is stronger than the first two.
If I were you, I would quit before I became more entrenched.
Thank you.
Is this how you always grab girls' hands?
Sly and sneaky?
Be strong.
You'll be entering a competition against the sous-chef.
That's the only way you can become Head Chef.
With your skills, I'm sure you'll be able to beat the sous-chef.
What do you say? Does that sound like a good deal?
I accept.
You can go on TV with me after you become the head chef.
But I need a favor too. When can I meet Senator So?
You'll have to declare the competition first.
I keep my promises, no matter what they may be.
Whether it's a promise to kill someone, or to save someone.
How about dinner tonight?
[Top Secret]
[National Defense Industry's Corruption]
Deputy Manager Choi was hospitalized.
He says he fell down the stairs
but it seems rather suspicious.
Trying to avoid the summons.
Yes.
What will happen if I continue with the case and disregard the orders to stop?
You'll be punished for disobedience. And...
it will be hard for you to survive in the unit.
What else?
Ms. Han and I could get fired too.
I'll just end up killing time, without a single assignment.
Or they could assign you several cases, every day.
Either way, you won't be able to get through it.
I'm in the mood for some noodles.
What about you?
You know I love noodles.
Senator.
You were meant to be a noodle-maker.
It fits you well.
This way please.
Crying?
You can use violence. I won't say anything if you use your fists.
If you can't, you'll die at my hands.
It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Ha Jung Tae.
I'm So Tae Sup.
Please come in.
For two? Please come this way.
I don't need to eat. Go bring Master Ha.
It's an honor to meet you.
I'm honored to meet such a famous man.
Tae Ha, go ahead.
[Master: God of Noodles]

You don't know anything.
You didn't see anything.
I can feel that you're hiding something.
I did everything you wanted. Get out of there right now.
Don't say that you met me. It's better for everyone.
Look into Kim Gil Do.
You'll find out who Ha Jung Tae is.
So it's really here.
A little bit will be beneficial, but a large amount can be poisonous.
Grandpa!
Ha Jung Tae, do you know why I'm here?
