My friends live
[Episode 10] in the home of a monster.
Subtitles by DramaFever
One friend, who is as dear to me, as my own life.
And another friend who saved my life.
And a monster dwells...
in the home of that monster.
Why is Tae Ha here?
Why the hell is he here?
Moo Myung.
Why are you here--
Let's go somewhere else. It's not safe here.
No, don't kid yourself.
I... can't even sleep because I'm afraid that you'll get rid of me.
You've already kidnapped me once, so I wouldn't put anything past you.
Meaningless, huh?
No.
If you were a human being... you wouldn't be able to say such things.
Because of your meaningless acts, I'm living in hell. Do you know that?
Have you ever heard of knocking?
I did, twice.
This reminds me of when I caught you secretly using my makeup.
And when I walked in on you, you hid it, and got mad at me.
When did I ever do that?
You did that, when you were young. So there were no secrets between us.
After all, your secrets were always written all over your face.
Why are you here so late?
To see Da Hae.
I heard her voice and thought she was in here...
But I guess she's not.
Da Hae's voice? Her voice, As if.
How ridiculous...
But since the topic has come up, let me ask you something.
Madame Seol...
How much do you know about her?
Why are you asking me that?
You're the one who has had her by your side for three whole years now.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it on the day you got out.
I'm sure you had a good reason.
It's all right.
Leave Goong Rak Won.
Everything began because Master Ha came to the orphanage.
The fact that you went to Goong Rak Won in Masan, and what I saw there...
and even what happened today... it's all linked to Goong Rak Won.
Please, stop now.
You're in danger!
My parents...
were killed in front of my very eyes.
And of all the ways to die, they were burned to death.
And that damn Ha Jung Tae, is the one who did it.
I have a nightmare every time I close my eyes.
Since that moment, I've never had a good night of sleep.
The man who killed my parents is right in front of me, so how can I play dumb?
I've already come too far to do that.
I can't stop anymore, Tae Ha.
Right now... I'm doing what I need to do.
Have you seen Yeo Kyung?
No.
Go and see her already.
Guilt doesn't go away because you refuse to face the one you feel guilty towards.
Instead, your imagination will just make your guilt get worse.
And... I don't know what brought you here.
But, I'd like it if I didn't see you again here.
I'm off.
You can't handle it.
He's not an enemy you can face alone.
Sometimes you have to fight, even though you know it's a lose-lose battle.
And that's how this fight feels for me.
You won't just lose, you could even die!
Thanks for the warning.
You're here?
Lots of people burn their hands doing hot kneading.
You should pour the hot water on the buckwheat flour gradually
and knead it in quickly to prevent burns.
You sure are working hard, so late at night.
The more I get to know you, the less I feel like I know you.
You went head-to-head with Master Ha, even though you're a mere odd-jobber.
And you walk your way in and out of Madame Go's heart, seamlessly.
You're a very amusing girl.
I don't know why you're saying these things, all of the sudden.
But it's better than hearing that I'm a boring person.
What's this?
The blueprint for Goong Rak Won.
There's a secret room in Master Ha's office.
Go in there.
Are you positive?
The layout of his office doesn't match up with the blueprint.
There is definitely extra space in there that's unaccounted for.
Who knows?
It might help you with the real reason that you came here too.
Have I been suspended?
Well if they dock your salary after they take away your case, then yes.
Who cares if you moved to Special Forces? There's nothing to do there.
Detective Kim. About Goong Rak Won--
Stop looking into Inmate Number 5021 already.
If you keep investigating against orders telling you not to
you'll just make things worse for yourself.
Furthermore, you're part of Special Forces now.
People will start bad-mouthing you
if you keep messing with a criminal case.
How can I just sit around and watch while prospective criminals are prancing about?
I have to do something, whether that means
getting to the root, or taking them on myself!
That's right!
We do have to do all those things in the name of justice.
- Chief Prosecutor. - Prosecutor Chae.
Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I have.
Let's go have some soup and rice.
I just told you I already ate.
I know. So let's go have some soup and rice.
Chief Prosecutor.
This is an order.
Let's go, Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung!
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung.
Nice to meet you.
My name is So Tae Sup.
You're curious as to why I called you out here, right?
I'm more uncomfortable than I am curious.
Your eyes...
your nose...
and your lips, are all quite similar.
May I speak a little more comfortably?
It's awkward to be speaking so formally to my younger sibling's daughter.
Your younger sibling's daughter?
Professor Chae Il Hwan is your father, is he not?
You knew... my father?
He was my adjutant, and was like a little brother to me.
We went to military school together, but Professor Chae went into research
and I went into politics.
You've grown up quite well.
Your father...
would be so proud.
No, it's fine.
I'm sure Il Hwan would have wanted his daughter to have this, instead of me.
Hold onto it, and let's eat together again some time.
I'll ask you to come eat with me every time I want to see Il Hwan again.
Thank you.
Do you know a man named Do Kkoo?
He's a good-for-nothing, but he has his own business.
And he's been heading some things for a foundation lately.
He seems to be quite busy.
I'm sure...
you'll find some interesting things if you look into him.
I was ordered to stop investigating anything related to that.
And it's the Criminal Department's case, so for me to intervene is a bit...
It makes no sense to argue about bureaucracy
when you're after a criminal!
What do you think about that?
So you were still alive...
You didn't call, so I thought you had forgotten about me.
And him?
Master Ha?
He's not doing anything... Nothing worth mentioning, at least.
How long have I known you for?
About eight years?
And after all of that time, I still don't trust you.
I'm sure.
So how's Master Ha?
Lately he's been so busy with Goong Rak Won.
So busy that I'm afraid that he's no longer interested in politics.
Didn't I write your lines for you?
Don't forget any of your lines. Just put on a good act.
If you do, everything will end up fine.
I've wasted three years of my life already.
Next year, I'm going to snag you a spot on a political talk show.
On a public TV channel.
What? Why are you acting that way?
Huh? What do you mean?
You're all looking at me funny.
Did you... have a good meal?
What did Senator So talk to you about?
I'm right, yeah?
I really am right!
She's made it big this time!
We met. It was just a meal. And he said tons of nice things to me. Happy?
Don't you know that Director and Chief Prosecutor
got that high up by being affiliated with him?
- And? - The fact that you ate with him
not to mention as a newcomer, is totally unprecedented!
All we did... All we did was have a meal together. It didn't mean anything!
I don't think it was "just a meal".
All the materials you asked for but weren't able to get
all have connections to him.
The Goong Rak Foundation's funding is almost gone.
And who cares if we're getting cash? It's not like we can use it.
The Goong Rak foundation gets its money from Goong Rak Won
but we're strapped for cash regardless.
I don't know what we can do.
Just wait a little bit. When I get the management rights to this place again
I'll have Goong Rak Won fund the foundation again immediately.
It's going to be hard for us to get through these next three months!
Three months is manageable. I've already taken measures for it.
How strange! There isn't one safe here! So where could all of that money be?
Mind your own business. And just take care of your own work.
Wow... How could you say that? I'm working my ass off, you know.
Geez, I'm tearing up!
Bring me Park Tae Ha. I've done plenty for you, so if you can't do that for me
you'd be the one causing problems between us. Don't you think?
What the hell?
Wow...
I can't believe this.
Did all of you orphans make a pact to meet up here or something?
Where's Do Kkoo?
Look at this punk.
"Do Kkoo"?
Hey.
He's my superior. How dare you refer to him so casually?
This disrespectful bastard!
Do you hang out around Goong Rak Won too?
I'm a VIP, punk! Do you know that term? VIP!
Tell Do Kkoo that I want to see him.
Look at this bastard...
Who do you think you are, telling me to be your messenger boy?
Hey.
Do I still look like a pushover to you? Huh?
Don't be like this. I'll never be scared of you.
- Chul Doo. - I'm Doo Chul, you bastard!
Who the hell are all of you? Huh?
Oh... Officer Kim.
It's Detective Kim now, Chul Doo.
We're with the Special Forces Department of the Seoul Prosecutor's Office.
From this point on, we're confiscating everything here on charges
of fraud, loan sharking, and creating falsified documents.
Go ahead.
- Hey, come on, now. - No, please!
Just stand by, all of you.
We're going to take you all
Tae Ha?
Detective... Kim.
Geez, no way, is that really you, Tae Ha?
But.. but why are you here?
I'm not involved in any of this. If it's okay, I'd like to leave.
Tae Ha.
[Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung]
Sorry. I kept you waiting for a while, didn't I?
Want some coffee?
I'm good.
We just called them all in for questioning. No need to worry.
I'm not Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung right now. I'm your friend, Yeo Kyung.
You haven't changed at all.
It's great to see.
How... have you been?
So-so.
I'm using all of the skills I learned back in jail.
Work is fun.
I think I'm establishing a place for myself there too.
I'm thinking, I could save up some money and buy some machinery.
That way, I won't be totally rich.
But I'll be able to take care of my family.
Tae Ha.
Don't say that you're sorry.
If you do
the past six years will lose all meaning.
And don't say "thank you" either.
I did it for my sake, not for yours.
And don't cry either.
I made it through this entire time without crying.
So please, let me keep living that way.
And about Incident 1994, Inmate 5021...
Let's just give up on that now.
I was being narrow-minded.
Nothing will change from digging up old incidents.
My father killed your parents.
And I wanted to repay that debt to you.
It was a tragedy that neither of us could have done anything about.
So let's forget about it now, Yeo Kyung.
From this point on, I'm Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung.
Not your friend, Yeo Kyung. So listen carefully.
If a person commits murder because they were ordered by someone else
that is considered instigation of murder.
We can't pretend it didn't happen
even if the statute of limitations has expired.
It does make a difference.
That person...
who trampled all over our lives like this... that bastard...
Even if I can't get them into jail
we can expose what happened.
I'm going to ruin them.
But if I just stop now, the past six years that you spent, that I spent...
will all have been for nothing.
I can't... let that happen.
Yeo Kyung.
Do Kkoo and Ha Jung Tae from Goong Rak Won are linked to that night.
I'm going to look into them first.
And if we keep following the trail
we will find that bastard soon enough.
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
It's dangerous! You could get hurt!
Are you scared of that?
I'm not scared.
I won't...
be saying "sorry"
or "thank you"
to you, from now on.
And I won't ever cry in front of you.
So don't ever...
tell me to stop again.
The Park Tae Ha that I know, would never run away.
He is a person who fights for what he believes is right...
until the very end.
The questioning is over now.
You may leave.
Oh, my.
Oh, my! You sure are working hard, Da Hae.
Whenever I see you, I feel so bad!
It wouldn't cost much to hire another odd-jobber to help you out.
Seriously, they're trying to kill you or something.
Isn't this strange?
There are tons of strange things here.
Look. We have a guy who just climbed a social ladder onto the noodle team.
- No, I mean the broth. - Huh?
Lots of people aren't finishing their broth lately.
Especially, for the royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles.
Really? I only work on the side dishes, so I didn't notice.
More than half the broth left is strange.
And lots of customers are only eating the noodles.
Hong Chan! Hurry up and get over here!
- Hurry up and organize these! - Stop barking at me, already!
"Hong Chan!" "Hong Chan!" You're going to wear my name out.
Hi!
Oh, you're here, my Gil Yong?
Yes, I am!
Why not say hello to people once in a while?
- It was nice not seeing you. - You little...
Get over here, you two. Quickly!
I'll be giving these delicious things to you guys!
Look. Kings used to eat this! This is hwayangjeok.
Wow! This is so delicious! You made it, right?
Yes, I did. You have one too, Da Hae!
Here. You can have this bean jelly, so that you get prettier.
It's good, right? I'll have one, too.
Oh, yeah. It's been about three years since you crawled in. Right, Gil Yong?
Hey, what do you mean, "crawled in"? I'm not a mouse, you know.
I strode in confidently to do my vegetable deliveries.
Why are you here less often now?
Well... because I have some other stuff to take care of.
- Did you miss me? - Why, I ought to--
- Who's this? - I'm Liar Go. I deliver vegetables.
I mean, Go Gil Yong is my name.
See me, Hong Chan.
Um, Madame Go. I didn't drag him in there on purpose.
You share a room with Ms. Kim Da Hae, correct?
What?
Oh! Oh, yes, I do.
That girl snores like no other, seriously!
From now on, report everything she does to me.
But why...
Don't ask and just do as you're told.
It'll just be a secret between the two of us, all right?
Oh, yes. I understand.
Um, Entremetier.
What?
Can I taste some of your broths?
Why? You need a hangover cure?
Did you drink last night?
What are you doing?
I thought you said to pretend that I didn't know you.
Except for work-related things, I said.
The aftertaste is strangely bitter.
That's why customers aren't drinking their broth.
You noticed it, too?
Soup and noodle restaurants pride themselves on their broths.
It wasn't hard to see what was happening.
The other broths are just fine though.
The issue was with the quail stock.
What do we do now?
We've figured out the issue, so we have to solve it now.
You said that you leave people alone as long as people leave you alone, right?
Does that include Goong Rak Won? It's not yours yet though.
When it comes to your ability to study, you fall short, per usual.
I thought long and hard about it, after you threatened me.
Would it be better to wash my hands clean of this place
or should I just finish this place off?
What do you think I decided on, in the end?
Regardless of what you decided on, you won't be able to protect this place.
You're always like this. Always quick to look down on people.
The reason why Goong Rak Won is like this now, is because you're not working hard.
"Not working hard"?
Losing management rights didn't mean you should have relinquished
your duties as executive chef of this place.
Nowadays, you look like someone just waiting for Goong Rak Won to fail.
I think that it's definitely fair to say that you have been neglectful.
Listen up.
The reason Goong Rak Won is this way now, is because of your lack of skill.
Why not examine yourself first, before blaming others?
If you don't have any skills, hand the management rights back over.
Don't blame an innocent person for your shortcomings.
You want me to wave a white flag in defeat, and run away, don't you?
As if.
I'm going to get through the three months I have left, with tons of profit.
If you give up now, I'll let you keep your position of Madame in this place.
But if you keep fighting me, like you are now
you'll have nothing left to your name in three months.
It would serve you well to listen to my warning.
About Kim Da Hae...
Why do you look so shocked?
Oh, my. Look at your eyes widening.
If you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush.
I was wondering if we should raise her pay.
She works hard, and she's skilled.
I don't like that she got to work here because of Madame Seol
but you seem to be quite interested in her too. Am I wrong?
It's too soon for that.
Think about it.
I've already decided on it. So if Madame Seol agrees, I can do it.
Wouldn't it look better if we all agreed?
It seems fine.
The royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles uses both quail and fish sauce.
Wow. You two take a break any chance you possibly can.
Hey, odd-jobber.
Yes?
Are odd-jobbers allowed to touch the sauces?
No, sir.
More than anything else, we're weary of sauce thieves here.
Got that? Because in those sauces lie all of our secrets!
If you don't want to be seen as a thief, don't ever lay a finger on those.
- Got that? - Yes!
And you. Moo Myung.
Hey.
Where's the fish sauce?
- Wow, are you ignoring me? - Where is it?
In storage. We store it separately.
Hey... hey!
Stop right there! Stop while I'm being nice about it!
One! Two! Three--
The fish sauce storage room is managed by Master Ha.
Nobody is allowed in there.
Even the Entremetier has to ask for the exact amount he needs every day.
You're straight up disrespecting your senior, huh?
What?
Hey, hey, hey... I didn't mean that. Hey, I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!
Step aside.
Oh, my, that crazy bastard!
What are you doing?
This is expired.
People cannot eat this.
Stop it right now!
Stop.
You saw it too, sir! He's breaking containers of our precious sauces!
Step aside.
Master Ha!
Now!
Sauce is the lifeblood of noodle dishes.
No matter how well you make noodles, they will taste bad if the sauce is bad.
But you just destroyed the sauce we've been fermenting for ten years
as well as the expensive clay vessels that held them.
Make me understand, why you did this.
If you can't, you will have to compensate us for this.
This vessel was not made with high-grade clay.
They used something else to make it look as if it had been glazed with red lead.
But it wasn't actually made with genuine high-grade clay.
So the vessel can't breathe the way it's supposed to.
And because the sauce wasn't able to breathe in there
it developed bitterness instead of depth, and affected the food we make with it.
This is why customers aren't drinking their broth.
So you're telling me that the taste of the fish sauce has changed?
Yes. Confirm it for yourself.
Entremetier, come and taste this.
What he said is true.
It's bitter and sour.
If the vessel is flawed, airing it out and giving it sun is pointless.
That's why I broke it.
So that it could finally get some air.
Do a thorough inspection of the fish sauce we have left
and take special care when it comes to the maintenance of the clay vessels.
Yes, sir.
Da Hae.
Did you know about this?
I thought it was strange that so much broth was being left behind.
I didn't know.
How utterly humiliating...
I'm sorry, sir.
Why are you sorry?
It's all because I couldn't get it together.
It's not your fault. Master Ha replaced all these clay vessels two months ago.
You were against that, weren't you?
These are the clay vessels he got last time.
You must not speak of that with anyone else, understand?
If word gets out, we're toast. Got that?
He knew that I changed the vessels just by seeing the luster and texture?
Why is the mood in here so dreary today?
What brings you here?
The elections are over now, so people will be culled out
by authorities if they find any evidence of foul play.
I'm sure there will be a by-election soon so you'll have to get ready for it.
If you miss this chance, you'll have to wait four more years.
Well, I'm fine with that. But will you be? I don't know.
I have to reclaim Goong Rak Won first. That takes priority.
You're right. Ha Jung Tae has no chance at the polls.
But Master Ha of Goong Rak Won... That's a different story.
You must keep your position here. If you lose it, everything will be over.
Tell me what you have planned.
Choosing a district, getting supporters, getting staff, doing political rallies..
You don't need to do any of that.
You just need a nomination.
You need a nomination to get money, which will get people together
which will lead to you wearing that gold Senators Badge.
That badge weighs six grams and is worth 35,000 won, just in raw material.
But the moment you put it on, you'll be someone who creates the law.
You can't give up. This may be your last chance.
Is it okay for you...
Madame Go.
I'm so humiliated that I can barely show my face.
But you seem to be doing just fine.
Well, it's my job as the PR Section Chief to smooth out these mishaps.
Wow, PR Section Chief?
You sure did get promoted quickly.
How are you already a section chief when you barely have any PR experience?
Sometimes, I get scouted by corporations to go work for them.
At my level, this title is more than I can ask for.
I'm sure you would have went already, if you were actually scouted.
Even if Goong Rak Won is big, we're not as big as a corporation.
Isn't that right?
You're about 165 centimeters, right?
You have white skin, with average-length hair.
And you have this innocent and wily look going for you. You're really his type.
That's unpleasant to hear.
Stop it.
Want me to make you feel worse?
You're his fourth one, already.
So enjoy it while you can. The fifth will replace you soon enough.
I know... all about you trying to seduce him into doing politics.
I'm warning you. Don't mess with him -- no, with Goong Rak Won.
If you keep doing this, I'll really make you pay.
Got that?
Y... Yes. Are you some sort of thug, or something?
Thug?
Are you scared of thugs?
I'm more scared of myself than some damn thugs.
Section Chief Do. Leave now.
What good would she do you?
I said one thing, and she teared up. Section Chief of PR, my ass.
If you have something to say, say it. Stop beating around the bush.
About politics... Get involved, if you want to.
You're not the type not to do things just because I tell you not to.
I don't care what happens, as long as Goong Rak Won thrives.
But...
Don't even think about breaking away from us, and then crawling back.
I won't accept that.
You're cursing me?
Making the best noodles, or becoming a corrupt politician.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to choose one.
You can't imagine me doing both?
Let's be more positive, shall we?
I smile while seeing my husband playing around with some other woman.
How could I possibly be any more positive?
- Wow! - Wow!
Wow, that was great!
Congratulations, on getting elected for the third time.
All thanks to you.
So... it's about time for you to help me out a bit now, isn't it?
I'm always dead last, so I don't know how I could possibly help you.
Do you have any ideas?
Someone who has been elected six times in a row could easily help me, right?
You know that So Tae Sup is the only one who has been elected six times, right?
How can one get an audience with an official as highly ranked as he is?
They say, sometimes the hardest thing to see is right under your nose.
You have Moo Myung, don't you? He's closer to him than I am.
Wow, that's beautiful...
I didn't know that noodles could be so beautiful.
They're lotus noodles.
I used lotus leaves in the batter for the noodles
and I made the stock out of mushrooms and kelp.
This is the best, from the seungso noodles that you like so much.
They say that they get their name by making Buddha smile?
Yes.
I'm lucky to have met you.
How else would I ever have met you, if not for running into you
at that temple while you were recovering?
I went to that temple to pray, but met the Buddha of noodles!
- Go ahead and eat, sir. - Yes.
Is your body okay?
Yes. It got a lot better.
I see. I always feel bad asking you to make noodles for me all the time.
If you just said the word, I'd open a splendid noodle shop for you.
You're a bit too late. I'm working at Goong Rak Won now.
Why?
Why are you wasting your skills on that?
I've respected the executive chef there for a very long time.
That makes me feel even worse about wanting to call you again in the future.
Don't worry, sir. Any time you call me, I'll come running.
Madame Go.
My father just fell asleep.
There's no need to go inside.
But since I'm here, I want to see him, at least--
No. You don't need to come here any longer.
I'm... going to promote you to the noodle-making team soon.
The noodle-making team?
You'll get busier, so I don't want to be selfish and impose on you.
Oh, but I'll be fine. I'm doing this because I like it.
- So-- - Focus on work for the time being.
If you get demoted, it'll only look bad for both of us.
I'll call you if I need you again. Let's do that, okay?
Hey! Tae Ha! Are you all right?
Why did they take people who have nothing to do with this?
How annoying. I'm busy enough as it is.
Hey, we're not running an illegal operation, all right?
We're doing everything by the law, all right?
Let's go.
Do you remember Moo Myung?
He was there when we first fought.
Moo Myung?
Myung... Oh! I do. The one who took you away?
Please act like you don't know him if you see him at Goong Rak Won.
And tell Doo Chul that he must do the same too.
And why do I need to do that?
Isn't that your problem to take care of?
Moo Myung has some bad blood with Master Ha.
He must not be exposed. Otherwise, he'll be in danger.
If you're that worried about him, go there and protect him.
You can't just wiggle out of this and make me do everything.
This isn't my business, so you take care of it.
I'll go.
I'll go to Goong Rak Won. In exchange, do this for me. Both you and Doo Chul.
In exchange, I have one favor to ask of you.
She's like a daughter to me.
You have to protect her well
and shield her if something dangerous happens.
Can you do that?
Why are you leaving her here if she's like a daughter to you?
Geez, way to rub salt into my wounds...
Oh! Little pup!
We're opening soon. I have to get inside.
Stop being so testy.
This is Park Tae Ha. And this is Kim Da Hae. Say hello.
Um... Hello.
Yes.
Tae Ha is working at Goong Rak Won from now on.
So get along with him, okay? I wanted to introduce him to you.
We've said our hellos. Happy now, right?
Hey! That little...
She has kind of a nasty temper.
I know.
You do?
I'll go in.
How does he know that?
Oh, man, I didn't even put on my lip gloss!
My sunglasses.
Are you taking good care of them?
You know, the ones I threw away and gave to you.
They're fine.
It's been a while.
Yes, it has been.
Come in.
Master Ha.
Take a seat.
We were able to avoid the worst with those fish sauces, thanks to you.
I'm very grateful.
It was nothing, sir.
Well, that's that...
But anyway...
it seems that you're well-connected.
What do you mean, sir?
You're familiar with Senator Choi
and I also heard that you're familiar with Senator So Tae Sup.
I saw him a few times when I was making an offering at a temple.
He really likes my noodles.
I'd like to have him at Goong Rak Won some time.
Could I ask you to arrange that for me?
Yes. That won't be too difficult.
Great. Then let's get him in here as soon as we can.
Yes.
Under one condition.
A condition?
Make me the chef.
And one more thing.
I want to be on all of the TV programs you'll be on.
If you can do these things for me, I'll bring Senator So here.
You're basically asking me to train you as the successor of this place.
I think you're asking for too much for the favor I've asked of you.
You're not really inviting him here to feed him noodles.
So you think I have other reasons?
I've already laid all my cards out on the table.
My objective is to become your successor.
I'm prepared to do anything, if you'll open your heart to me.
Whether it may be in noodle-making, or politics.
If Madame Seol knew you were saying this, she'd pass out!
I want to show her
how she just got betrayed
by her own person.
I don't belong to anyone.
I simply met Madame Seol earlier than I met you.
I'm not turning my back on any master.
Rather, I'm shopping around to see who will receive my first true loyalty.
You know that I harbor doubts toward you, right?
Doubt me even more, then.
You'll have to use up all of your doubt to finally trust me, after all.
If you lied about a single thing you said to me today
you'll come to regret it, for sure. You won't be able to handle me.
I don't do anything that I won't be able to handle.
My specialty is making people quiver in fear.
When people are fearful, they're more accommodating and cooperative.
But my tactics don't seem to work on you.
Would you like me to act as if I'm scared, to humor you?
I like... your spunk.
And the fact that you have the courage to propose a deal to me.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Let me think a bit longer, about making you the chef.
Yes.
Why did you change your mind, all of the sudden?
I was being too rash. I thought that I may never get a chance like this again.
That's why I came.
If you want to work for me, you must abide by a few rules.
First. You must not make judgment calls on your own.
I'm the one who will be doing all the decision-making.
I'll be commanding you, and you will follow those commands.
I understand.
Second. Betrayal, trickery, and lies, are all unacceptable to me.
If you do such things, you will pay the price for doing so.
Carefully understood, sir.
Third.
Don't mention the issue... with your father until I do.
I'll tell you all about it when I'm certain that you're loyal to me.
Is that all right?
Yes, understood, sir.
Follow me.
This fellow will be driving. You have a license, right?
Yes.
I'll be bringing one customer. Please get everything ready.
Please head inside.
That's enough. This much is more than sufficient.
Clean up Chief Hwang's room. Someone else will be living there.
Did you just test me?
I get the worthless ones without much discretion, because they're disposable.
But I do have more of a discerning eye, for those who are more valuable.
It's natural for people to be pickier, towards things that are more valuable.
I'll be investing tons of money in you, from here on out.
It's only natural that I'd test you.
I'm not a commodity.
No, you are a commodity.
And soon, you'll become the most valuable thing I own.
I'm sure that these suits are going to look great on you.
Hey, what are you doing?
You have to sort the garbage before you throw it out!
And you have to throw clothes out separately! I told you this already!
- Whose things are these? - Chief Hwang's.
I'll throw out what needs to be tossed, and burn what needs to be burned.
So you run along, now.
No, I have to be the one to--
Are you going to take responsibility
if problematic things unfold because you did this wrong?
Hurry up and go! Go! Now! Go! Hurry up!
Geez, people don't have any common sense these days!
I... feel really overwhelmed by all of this.
That's exactly why I did this.
That way, you'll do your best.
Good work. This is your room. It should be clean now, so stay here from now on.
Yes, I understand.
