When Mother opened the door...
I wanted to run...
far, far away, where nobody could find me.
Student!
What are you doing?
Three.
By the time I walked out that door
I had already become... a monster.
And
I prayed desperately that I wouldn't have to dispose of the one behind this door.
And behind this door, is the version of myself with whom, only I am acquainted.
[Kim Gil Do]
From the very beginning, behind this door is the only place I've ever lived.
[Episode 9]
There's no way, sir.
Impossible, that's Choi Soon Suk, sir!
That bastard... is Choi Soon Suk! Admit it!
What the hell are you talking about?
Catch him.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
It's fine.
But... Who is this "Choi Soon Suk" guy?
It's nothing to worry about. I apologize.
Kim Gil Do?
[Kim Gil Do]
That's a name that only my mother and I know.
So how do you know it? Huh?
Let's do it one more time! G! N! D...
Grandfather! Can you hear me? Huh? Grandfather!
Okay, no problem. I'll leave.
- He's not here. - Let's go!
Geez, so noisy! How can anyone sleep around here with all this commotion?
Madame Go.
Yes, Da Hae?
Why are they all so worked up like this?
Um... Madame Go.
Yes? What?
Grandfather...
opened his eyes.
- What happened? - We lost him, sir.
Find him.
Even if it takes you all night!
Understood, sir!
Move over! All right?
Dong Bae.
If you keep this up
you'll die by my hands.
I said, move!
You must have lost your mind...
So he closed his eyes again?
Yes.
You must not tell anyone about this, until I give you permission to do so.
I understand.
Da Hae.
Let's stall for a little bit longer.
Until he can talk at least. Okay?
Yes, Madame Go.
I'm not sure...
but you might be the one who woke up my father.
Thank you for that. I will repay you for your kindness.
You can't flee with that leg. Get in.
Hey, there he is!
There's nobody who can help you now.
And there's nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide.
Not in this country, at least.
This is all your...
all your fault.
No, you're still alive because of me. For now, anyway.
There isn't one shred of evidence in the world that I'm Choi Soon Suk.
Nobody will believe you.
What I'm saying is, there's no use in trying to expose me.
Shut it, bastard.
If I were you, I'd leave this country.
Want me to tell you how to do that?
Sell the most dangerous thing you have.
There's a person who will take it off of your hands at a very high price.
What in the world are you planning?
Why are you helping me?
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm not helping you.
I'm getting you out of my way.
Get out.
And don't be an eyesore to me again.
[Master Ha]
- Do Kkoo here. - Something happened.
Come to Goong Rak Won.
What happened?
I'll tell you when you get here.
I'm not your lapdog, you know.
Geez. If you're telling me to come and go as you please--
Hello?
Hey! Why, this little-- hey!
Ugh, what a rotten bastard...
Wait. Just wait right here. If you eat a single piece, I'll kill you.
Yes, sir.
Fine, I won't eat it! Geez!
There's no way, sir.
Impossible, that's Choi Soon Suk, sir!
That bastard is Choi Soon Suk! Admit it!
Geez! Why did you call me, so late at night?
People might think we're dating, or something.
What's this all about?
Catch someone for me.
Geez... Why are you doing this to me?
I said I would be your business partner, not your personal thug!
If you thought you could gradually turn me into one of your underlings
by making me run errands
you are severely mistaken!
Da Hae is in danger.
This man knows more of my weaknesses than anyone else.
And he knows that the greatest of my weaknesses is Da Hae.
He must be captured.
You're not just using her to make me do this for you, are you?
Does it seem that way to you?
Hurry up and get Tae Ha under you. Or find someone else.
I won't sit still if anyone touches one single hair on Da Hae's head.
I've decided on Park Tae Ha. He'll be here soon.
Who is the person that needs to be caught?
Hwang Sung Rok.
Hwang Sung Rok?
Do you have any ideas as to where he might be?
There's only one person that he would go to see.
Geez... unreal.
Do I have to search for all of you, just to see your faces?
Have you been well?
Well, yeah.
But I'm not sure how Moo Myung is doing lately.
Why else would I be running around trying to see every unidentified corpse?
Not to mention, his name literally means "No Name".
Every time I see one, I think it could be him.
I swear... I get so nervous every time I go.
You can't get in touch with him either?
You think I would be this worried if I could?
Honestly, we don't have much to rely on. Money, connections, families.
We're lucky enough to have each other.
So it would be nice if we could stick together.
You too, man. Go see Yeo Kyung once in a while or something.
Friends shouldn't treat each other this way. Okay?
Here.
Make sure to eat these, okay? I'm off.
Eleven meters wide...
Seventeen meters long...
Nice to meet you. My name is Moo Myung.
However...
It seemed a lot smaller than that in there.
About seven or eight meters smaller than it's supposed to be.
There's definitely... a hidden space in that room.
A secret, hidden place.
[Madame Seol]
Yes, Madame Seol?
Open your door.
I didn't know that you would try to direct the workflow in the kitchen.
You sure have a knack for surprising people.
Since you passed with flying colors, you'll have to go in there now, right?
I'm going to become the chef, as soon as I can.
So is your first objective to become sous-chef, then?
First I'll break him, then I'll take him under my wing.
I can't run the kitchen without the sous-chef.
I'm going to bring him over to my side.
What about the captains of the individual teams?
The Side Dish Specialist is loyal to Master Go Dae Chun
and the Head Butcher doesn't particularly love anybody.
I'm a bit concerned about The Entremetier.
He's too quiet for someone who could easily become head chef, with his skills.
Decide which team you're going to get through to first.
I'll support you from the shadows.
Oh, and, there's going to be an initiation process.
Or so it's called, anyway.
Basically, they'll just be tormenting you with smiles on their faces.
Things like that don't concern me.
Rather, here.
What's this?
There's a secret room, next to Master Ha's office.
Are you sure about this?
Take a look here.
There's an empty space that isn't accounted for in his office.
Oh...
A person with many secrets, needs a place to hide those secrets.
I'm sure that he's hiding those secrets in that room.
[Noodle-making Team: Moo Myung]
This is a rite of passage, of sorts, that we have here.
All the people working in the kitchens have had their name tags pinned on by me.
And I'm the one who takes them off, as well.
I hope that I won't be needing to take this name tag off.
Something like that won't be happening, I assure you.
You have quite a unique name. "Moo Myung"?
That can't be your real name.
My real name, is Ha Jung Tae, sir.
We have the same name, so I changed mine.
To tell you the truth, I was never officially added to my family tree
because I was always sick as a child. So, they called me "Moo Myung".
I've gotten used to it now, so I'm more comfortable being called Moo Myung.
I had... a different name once too.
We sure have a lot in common.
- Well, all right then. Let's go. - Yes.
Listen up, everyone.
I can't acknowledge anyone that hasn't properly paid their dues.
I can't stand the way he acts either.
I'll be getting rid of him.
I'm going to make him hate every minute that he spends here. Any objections?
All right. Let's get started.
In our kitchens, we have the noodle team, the side dish team, and the stock team.
Every team has a team captain.
And the captain of the noodle team, is the sous-chef.
Below him, is the deputy captain.
The noodle team does royal court- style noodles, and traditional noodles.
The stock team takes care of all of the broth used for the dishes.
The meat team takes care of all the butchery and the appetizers.
And the side dish team takes care of all of the side dishes.
Our kitchens are called "Sooksulso".
That means that they are places that create cuisine fit for kings.
And only the best of the best, can work here.
Does everyone get the grand tour from you, like I just did?
Yesterday, I became greatly indebted to you. It's only fair that I repay you.
I'm fine, sir. I've forgotten all about it already.
I haven't forgotten about it.
I never... forget... my debts to others.
Well then, go ahead and begin.
The first item for today is nangmyun. Please begin.
Get started.
Did something happen last night?
It's nothing, so don't worry about it.
It doesn't look good.
Having hoodlums running around here.
It's not like this is a place for people to come and fight.
Stick to messing with noodles, okay?
Instead of messing with people.
You always need to get one more word in.
Did you know that that tends to make people sick of you?
That's perfect.
That was my intention when I started talking anyway.
Father...
It's me, Gang Sook.
Father, I heard that you opened your eyes.
Father, can you hear me?
Geez...
Geez, Father.
Father, please say something!
Why won't you even move a finger for me?
Hello?
This is Chief Hwang.
And why the hell are you calling me?
I have something I must speak to you about.
- Screw that. - The person who did the hit-and-run...
I know who that was.
And enlighten me, who was it?
There's something that Master Ha always says.
"Block people's ears with money, and get people talking with a beating."
But, in my opinion
money is the best way, to do both of those things.
So go ahead and get me to talk, with money.
You don't know me at all, do you?
Do you take me for a fool?
I'll have to know who it was if you want me to buy evidence from you!
Tell me.
Is it the person who I think it is?
Master Ha ordered for it to be done...
and I'm the one who did it.
Do you have evidence?
Let's talk about that in person.
I'll also send you one more interesting thing, as a freebie
so get your money ready in the meantime.
Also, I'll be needing a passport.
I've set everything up already, so just go pick it up for me.
I can't live as Hwang Sung Rok any longer.
Do you think that Master Ha would let me live?
Hello? Chief Hwang!
Crying?
When her father went comatose, she didn't cry
but she's crying now?
Huh? She really is crying.
Sung Rok.
That damn Sung Rok.
I've lived with a monster all of these years.
So it's your turn to live with a monster now.
[Transfer from Go Gang Sook: 200 million won]
[Package for: Go Gang Sook]
Thank you.
Wow! What great weather. It's not even hot. And there's a nice breeze too.
Who are you waiting for?
Not you... that's for sure.
The person you're waiting for... will not be coming.
I don't know what you heard, but it's all a complete lie.
A cornered mouse will bite a cat, and a cornered person will lie.
But, how could you believe such a ridiculous lie? I'm a bit disappointed.
I'll be the one to judge whether it's a lie or not.
Don't you dare think about giving me some sort of pathetic warning.
You think...
that I'm responsible for your father's accident, right?
Hey, I'm asking you a question. Do you really think that?
Spare me your tactics.
They won't work on me.
All tragedies begin with doubt.
Let's not be like that.
Why are you doubting a man as honest as me?
Hwang Sung Rok won't be needing a passport. You can just tear it up.
And I'll return the money you sent him.
I... do not bother others, as long as they do not bother me.
But... if they do mess with me, and the things that belong to me
I'll never let them off the hook
no matter who they might be.
But you almost messed with two things that are mine.
Let's...
just continue living the way we do now.
We'll act like we like each other, but inside, we'll despise each other.
Wow, everyone looks so happy.
We should live like that too.
Since you're already out, why don't you get some fresh air?
Take your time getting home.
I caught him, and handed him over to your men.
Yes. Great job.
I'm just asking because I feel a little uneasy. But...
Never mind.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong now, right?
Don't let your imagination run too wild. Nothing much will happen.
Then, I'm washing my hands clean of this now.
Sir.
Your noodles are getting overcooked.
- It's fine. You stuff yourself. - Yes, sir. Hey, let's begin!
Sung Rok.
I'll ask you one last time.
Is Moo Myung really Choi Soon Suk?
I already told you.
I'll ask you one more time.
Is he really Choi Soon Suk?
Are you going to let me live
if I tell you that he is?
Then just go ahead and think that he isn't.
Master Ha.
It's not...
over yet.
Grandfather!
I'm here.
It's me, Da Hae.
You remember telling me that name yesterday, right?
Kim Gil Do, I mean.
Kim. Gil. Do.
Is there... anything else you want to tell me about that Kim Gil Do?
Okay, I'll get started now, then.
G. N. D. R. M. B. S.
S.
Murder
Is there... any chance that you're trying to say "murderer"?
So you're saying that Kim Gil Do is a murderer?
Is that right?
- Madame Go. - Oh, Da Hae.
This is where you were.
How's Father doing?
He's not very different than he was before.
You go and rest. I'll stay here.
Yes, Madame Go.
Father...
Father, you can hear me, right?
Please listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
Father, the man who made you this way...
No, that foul beast...
I'm going to punish him.
So please, get up soon.
Father, on the day that you rise
I will devour that bastard, whole!
But I don't know how I'll be able to endure until then.
So please, Father.
Please.
Please, please, hurry and get up. Please?
Yeah?
A murderer?
Who murdered who?
Let's talk for a bit!
I have nothing to speak to you about.
Kim Gil Do.
Why are you so shocked? That's your name, after all.
Did you use a different name with just Mom and I?
Did you want to hide the two of us away that badly?
How many names do you have? Which one is the real one?
How many times do I have to tell you? You mean nothing to me.
If you want to make a fuss like a baby, do it somewhere else.
And don't you dare utter that name... ever again.
- If someone else finds out-- - Then what?
What will happen?
No. What will happen if I just go around blabbing it?
You!
Have you ever killed someone?
Kim Da Hae.
You!
Is something going on over there?
I'm sure that there's no reason for you to be fighting with a mere odd-jobber.
And the way you were touching her makes it unlikely
that you were just chastising her.
Can you help me understand what's going on here?
Ms. Kim Da Hae. Go back inside now.
Stop right there.
You need to set him straight right now.
It's because people keep overlooking it, that he thinks doing this is okay.
Don't make a big deal out of nothing.
She looked like she was having a hard time, so we spoke for a bit.
Is that true?
Yes, Madame Seol.
Oh...
Just because you say that though, that doesn't mean I believe it.
However...
I'll do you the favor of pretending that I do.
I don't have the leisurely time to hear your spiteful commentary today.
I'll be going.
Then... I'll go too.
He's backing away from a fight even though I instigated?
I never thought I would see the day.
Hey, little pup! What's up, at this hour?
I have something to talk to you about.
When do you have time?
Time? I have all the time in the world!
You're at Goong Rak Won, right? Wait a bit. I'll fly right over there.
Why are you out here? Geez! I could have found you on my own!
I just stepped out for a bit. I'm still on the clock.
Um...
Is something the matter?
Something's wrong, isn't it?
Is the person...
who killed my mom...
Master Ha, by any chance?
Oh, come on. Stop it with that, now.
You know that nobody knows what really happened.
But you do know what happened. You can just tell me who it was!
I can't give up until I find out who did it!
It was not your father.
The person who killed your mother, was not your father.
At the very least, I can swear to the heavens on that.
Then who did it?
I don't know.
I'm telling you the truth.
Do you know who Kim Gil Do is?
I don't know, I'm telling you, I don't!
Why are you digging around?
Leave!
I have nothing else to say to you.
You called me here just for this? Hey!
We've taken care of him, sir.
Leave.
Um, sir.
This was in his wallet.
I thought you may need to see it.
I found the guy who ruined the celebration--
No, wait... Choi Soon Suk, sir.
Leave now.
Senator Choi.
Have you been well?
You know it would be a blatant lie if I told you that I missed you.
Anyway, come by to have some noodles some time.
I was thinking of introducing you to a good person too.
Yes.
[Order: Royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles]
Three orders of royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles.
And two orders of soy sauce buckwheat noodles.
Oh... Ow... Ow, ow.
Geez... They're going to kill him, at this rate.
Mind your own. This is his initiation.
Oh, my, you're quite cold.
You've never kneaded dough before. You get sore after doing it for an hour!
But look! He's been at it for eight hours now.
Stop worrying about other people, and make some jeon, woman!
Oh my. I feel so bad for him...
If I could, I would offer up my own arms for him to use.
And just where have you been? The energy in here is terrible, as it is.
They're still making him knead all the dough alone?
Not just that. He's making the noodles and boiling them all on his own too.
I can't tell if he's a man or a machine.
What are you going to do? Do you want to get punished too?
Just sit still.
So they're really going for the gusto with this initiation. It's a lot, no?
We were expecting that though.
If he can't handle this, he wouldn't be able to survive anyway.
Isn't it only natural
to try and fix bad traditions that have been passed down?
This is only going on because you're playing dumb and letting them do it.
He's making 100 portions, all on his own.
If you feel that bad for him, go help him knead, or something.
Sounds like there's an edge to your words.
You started it. And you want Goong Rak Won too.
So I have no pity for your little lackey, who only got in here, thanks to you.
He's here to save you from your own terrible situation.
You, of all people, should be cheering him on.
Hasn't it crossed your mind, that he might betray your trust?
Wow, you really don't know me at all.
In order to be betrayed, you have to trust someone.
Have you ever seen me trust anyone?
A lack of trust of this nature is what leads one to having no comrades though.
Just like you and me.
Service is over.
Good work!
They'll really end up killing him, at this rate.
He's not human. Anyone else would have foamed at the mouth and passed out.
How has been able to keep at it for four days now?
How could he be a human being?
He's a beast, is what he is.
Oh, what a beast.
Well, today's the last day, so let's see if he can make it through.
Mr. Noodle-maker.
Master Ha would like to see you.
Sure.
Wow, this place seems so fancy, every time I come here.
I wish they could make my office look like this too.
If they did, I would work my butt off for society.
Exactly.
I'm kind of hungry. Will we be having noodles?
Before that though, I'd like to introduce you to someone.
I'm sure you'll be very happy to see him.
Really?
The only person I'd be happy to see is my wife though.
Did my wife come all they way here to stuff her face with some noodles?
It didn't seem like you thought much of her when we drank together before.
Oh, come on. Let's not talk about that, all right?
Senator Choi!
Oh, my! Is that you, Moo Myung?
Why are you here?
Do you work here now?
It turned out that way, yes.
You two... know each other?
Of course!
If he didn't volunteer his skillful noodle-making during my campaign
I would have lost, for sure!
He helped me get the votes of people who otherwise never would have voted.
Really?
He even cooked noodles for me when I broke my nose... on the door.
Wow, it's been a while! You look fantastic!
- Thank you. - Wow!
It's just like you said. Master Ha called me here.
Are you a psychic? How did you predict all of that?
If I was psychic, I wouldn't have gotten stabbed.
I was even betrayed... by a certain someone.
Stop it, already! It's not like I'd put my life on the line for you.
Speaking of which, it sure is a small world.
How would I have known that you'd be here?
Wow, you sure are tenacious though. You ended up all the way here.
And I'm going to collect on the debt that you owe me, with tenacity as well.
Oh, sure, fine. But only a little. I have a family to feed, after all.
Are there any new recruits that might be useful, this time around?
We have a diamond in the rough.
[Chae Yeo Kyung]
Top marks on the bar, and valedictorian to boot?
Nobody has ever scored as high as she did on the bar.
A girl like this should become a judge! Why does she want to be a prosecutor?
Read through it.
She's quite inflexible though. In this way, she stands out.
Furthermore--
Prosecutor Chae is passionate, then. That's great.
I'm scared that she'll end up taking my position soon, with these scores.
Is she that bad?
- She's an orphan? - Yes.
Her parents were murdered.
That's what bothers me the most.
I don't think she's worth being mentored by you, sir.
I think it's worth a shot.
Why are you scared?
Do you think I'll hurt you?
Don't give me your childish excuses.
They won't work on me.
Prosecutor.
Go ahead.
I think it would be best if you stopped looking into this case any deeper.
The statute of limitations has expired, and going to the scene was dangerous.
The higher-ups are starting to notice, too. I think it'd be best to give up.
I... became a prosecutor to dig deeper into this incident.
I can't give up.
Do you think
that the prosecutor's office exists for your convenience?
- Detective Kim! - Chae Yeo Kyung!
I'm the one who brought you, Tae Ha, and Moo Myung to the orphanage.
I know why this incident is important to you, more than anyone else!
But you can't do it like this.
Is it all right for a mere detective to use informal speech with a prosecutor?
Request materials regarding the changing of the zoning law where Goong Rak Won is
and prepare to look into the bank accounts of his powerful acquaintances.
- Hey, Chae Yeo Kyung! - Chief Prosecutor.
I heard that you really won't listen.
Everyone in the department knows all about what a troublemaker you've been.
I'm just doing what needs to be done.
And, I have no reason to discuss this with you.
Oh... So you're saying that I can't boss you around
since you're not in my Special Forces Department?
- That's not what I meant. However-- - Starting today...
stop pursuing that druggie, or whatever, and... Wow! Why is that so messy? Huh?
The messiness of that board isn't going to help you solve the case any faster!
People who are actually smart, do it in their heads, instead of making a map.
- Stop it. - Regardless, stop investigating this.
And pack your things.
What?
Prosecutor Chae, of the Criminal Department.
From this point on, you're a member of the Special Forces Department.
Tell your department chief, and come upstairs immediately.
We have seniority over your department. You know that, right?
What's this, all of the sudden? How could I suddenly...
Who do you think the most powerful prosecutor is?
One that has great connections.
Wow, you must be happy. Looks like we'll get well-acquainted.
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung is here.
Director.
Welcome, Prosecutor Chae.
You asked to speak to me directly, yes?
I have to speak to you regarding my transfer.
I've just joined the force, and don't have much experience.
I don't quite feel deserved of going to Special Forces yet.
And?
Is there... another reason that you're doing this, by any chance?
What you say is true. Special Forces is the best of the best.
And that's why I believe that you have a right to be there.
What?
We need someone who isn't well-connected to work on important cases.
I need someone with a sense of justice that will not be swayed.
So don't feel overwhelmed, and just accept it gracefully.
- However-- - I'll be seeing you again.
Oh, Senator!
Have you been well?
She seems quite bright.
I've transferred her, per your request.
So you must support her now, from this point forward.
Shouldn't we eat with her sometime soon?
That sounds great!
Tae Ha, do you know who ordered your father to commit murder?
I do.
Huh? Why are you here?
Let's talk.
That noodle chef guy
seemed to have known my father.
Your dad always stuck with me
so chances are that he did.
He said that he knew who commanded my father to commit murder.
Really?
Is that true?
I don't know. How could I possibly know?
I'm thinking about meeting him.
Seriously?
I want to hear what he has to say, at least.
I'm going to ask about what kind of a man he was
and find out why...
it had to be my father, of all people.
Let's go.
I'll give you a ride. I needed some fresh air anyway.
Excuse me!
- Geez... - Would you like to order?
How tacky. Only country hicks read through the menu here!
They make you any noodles you want, if you just ask.
Oh. Then...
Can I get pine nut noodles? With rice noodles.
Of course.
Can I get chogye noodles?
Oh!
You don't use naengmyun broth for that here, right?
We use chicken stock for that here, sir.
Geez... you're such a country hick.
Hey! I'm telling you! There are places that use tender chicken and no additives!
- We'll get that ready then. - Yes.
I'm telling you, places like that exist.
This is the last order.
Last order! Pine nut noodles, with rice noodles.
And chogye noodles.
The last order is ready now.
Eat up.
Oh, welcome.
Have a seat over there.
Shall I teach you how to buy the law?
Before that, I'd like to know who did that to my father.
Nothing will change by you finding that out now.
What I'm saying... is that you can't do anything.
Even if I tell you, you can't lay a finger on their head.
I'll be the one to decide what to do after I find out.
I'll be frank. If you try to fight them, you will end up dead.
You should give up and run. Why are you making that decision now?
Come work for me. You can strengthen your own power.
And if you combine that with my power, then you might be able to take him on.
At that point, I'll tell you who did that to your father.
I guess I came for nothing.
I'll get going.
I'll be seeing you again.
But I would like it... if you matured a bit before that.
I do not bother others, as long as they do not bother me.
But if you do mess with me, and the things that belong to me
I'll never let them off the hook, no matter who they might be.
Madame Go. A package for you.
Leave it there.
I know why you're so confident with the way you're coming at me.
It's because you believe that I'll never get rid of you.
Don't kid yourself. You mean nothing to me.
You mean just as much to me as that corpse laying right there.
I mean nothing to you, huh? If you were a father -- no!
No, if you were a person, you wouldn't be able to say such things.
And because of your meaningless acts, I'm still living in hell!
Do you know that?
Moo Myung.
[Master: God of Noodles]
