[Episode 3]
Memories become fond recollections when they become muddled by time.
Only the happiest, most beautiful moments remain
and the rest conveniently disappear.
And yet
if something that shouldn't have been tampered with is tampered with
the memory can come back to you as a nightmare.
Speaking carelessly can bring pain back with the sting of a knife.
You're... Choi Soon Suk, right?
Choi Soon Suk: a name I had erased from existence.
A memory that should have never been tampered with.
Choi Soon Suk. That's your name, right?
Why is that name coming out of your mouth? Why?
Who?
You know, the day that you came here is the same day he went missing.
And I heard that he had pretty bad burns, too.
- Hey, this tastes great! - I've never heard that name before.
Well, never mind then! No need to get aggressive!
Who knows? I may be able to find your parents for you.
They died. So stop doing such unnecessary things.
Oh, is that right?
That's strange.
A punk like you who can't even remember his own name
somehow remembers that his parents are dead?
Isn't that really strange?
Kim Gil Do: the only one who knows my name.
The only one who could recognize me.
I have to stop this! I can't fall into his hands!
Oh, geez.
What's taking her so long?
Just hit it, already!
- Wow! - Great shot!
Oh my, Madam, are you a professional? How did you hit it so straight?
I'd bet even the ladies of Gangnam would be jealous of that swing!
I guess taking a bunch of practice strokes worked out for me.
Leave.
Excuse me?
How will I be able to play properly with you blabbing on?
What good is it to sweet-talk me, when you're full of shit?
Madam, that's not what I meant...
Have you gone deaf? Leave right now!
Yes, it's me.
Is he alive?
All right, got it.
How could this happen? What do we do?
And where is "he?"
I contacted him, so he should be on his way by now, right?
Oh, it's you, ma'am.
Land doesn't have feet, you know. It's not going anywhere.
The only thing that moves is the scrap of paper called a deed.
The land itself doesn't go anywhere.
Who knows? It may even come back to you one day.
So let's be optimistic about all this, yeah?
I'm finished, sir.
- Oh, the grapes. - Yes, sir.
Chief Hwang over here is quite a generous guy
so he brought you a bunch of grapes.
President Seo seemed to be quite fond of them.
What's wrong? Calm down! Nurse! Nurse!
What do we do? What do we do?
Oh, the man President Park has been waiting for is here!
- Oh, Noodle Master Ha! - Yes, please sit.
What couldn't wait for you to call me here like this?
You already know, don't you? I feel uneasy, of course!
Looks like this guy has a serious case of unrequited love!
Wow, this is great. Life finally feels worth living!
So, the golf course issue has been taken care of.
All we need to do now is roll out the red carpet
for Master Ha to walk on, to Gangnam!
Of course!
I'll pay you back tenfold for this!
Well then, please work out the logistics with Chief Hwang.
I'll be going now.
How's your father-in-law?
I heard he was hurt in a hit-and-run.
And that's what happened to President Seo, too.
Let me know if there's anything else troubling you.
We should help each other out, after all.
President.
If you keep eating so greedily, your stomach will implode.
You should be more mindful of your rank.
Let's enjoy a long business relationship together, all right?
- Oh, Noodle Master! - How's Father-in-Law doing?
Why not go in and ask?
You can head back now.
How could I do that? He's like a father to me!
I'll stay here until he comes out of surgery, at least--
Leave. Now.
You sure took your time, even with your Father-in-Law in such a state.
Looks like you had time to put on makeup and coordinate your outfit
even though your own father is in this state.
And while you were at a golf course, no less.
Are you Mr. Go Dae Chun's guardians?
Yes.
I wonder why he went for a drive so late at night.
His eyesight is terrible.
Oh, are you wondering about my accent?
Well, I have to prepare in advance, since I'll be following you to Gangnam.
I heard that folks in Gangnam are quite stuck-up.
I don't want to be called a country bumpkin.
Shouldn't you try to act even a little bit sad, at least?
This is why not getting properly educated is a scary thing.
He's the kind of man to keep his store open the day my mother passed away.
And when I yelled at him for that
he said he's making noodles because
he wants to live a long life, or whatever.
Do you need me to go on?
A woman like you really is...
Don't laugh.
You can't laugh.
I'm the town's token crazy woman, but you have a reputation to uphold.
What if someone sees you smiling when your father-in-law's a vegetable?
Isn't that right?
- What are you saying? - Think about it.
You're a real smartypants, after all.
It must be nice to finally have your wish come true
since there's no one left
standing in the way of moving Goong Rak Won to Gangnam.
I'm sorry, sir. I was too sloppy with the job.
Do you know what I hate hearing the most?
"I'm sorry." "I apologize." "I'll never do that again."
If you did something wrong, you need to be punished accordingly.
Words are meaningless.
I'm... willing to be punished, sir.
What should we do about your lunch appointment, ma'am?
Well, I got myself a solid excuse.
It's not like I'll see them anymore. Cancel all my plans with those women.
Oh, yes, ma'am. I understand.
- Where shall I take you? - Just go for a drive.
- Let's get some air. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm sure you stepped on the brakes a bit last night, just like you did now.
I'm sure you thought that what you did sufficed.
Or you may have felt a bit guilty.
At any rate, it was a judgment call that you yourself made
without my permission.
Do as you are commanded to do.
All you ever have to do is follow instructions.
- Is that so difficult? - No, sir.
Smash into them. At full speed.
One more time.
Again.
If you crash into him one more time, that bastard will die.
But you'll be caught, for sure. There's no way out of that.
Now there's a witness. Go in reverse.
Smash them.
Don't make decisions of your own volition, bastard!
Stop.
Don't you dare make your own judgment calls again.
I'm the one who gets to do that. Not you.
Y-y-yes, sir.
Let's take a look at your face.
Take my business card.
My name, phone number, and address are all there.
You can report this to the cops, or even go to the press about this.
That much is your own decision.
However, if the cops come searching for me, or
there's even a single line in the press about me, you're dead.
I can guarantee you that. You'll definitely die.
You married? Do you have a kid?
Decide. Have your rights infringed upon, but live
or defend your rights, and die.
Let's go.
[Love Orphanage]
- This is Ha Jung Tae. - About that child, Choi Soon Suk...
do you think you'd remember him if you saw an old photo of him?
Of course.
I think I've found Choi Soon Suk.
Are you certain?
I'm sure you'll know when you confirm it for yourself.
- I'll come to you. - Oh, no need for that.
I'm sure you're busy, so I'll come to you.
I can get a gander of the famous Goong Rak Won while I'm at it, too.
Wow... this sure reeks of sweet, sweet money!
[Love Orphanage]
Oh my gosh, you surprised me!
Sorry.
What, are you looking for something?
No, not really.
Hey, I think the Director would misunderstand if he saw you.
Yeah. Exactly.
It sure does feel strange in here.
Right?
Keep cleaning.
What are you still doing here? Are you planning on living in here?
I've been looking all over for you.
I was wondering whether or not I should steal that photo, too.
Give it here.
This is the only photo that the four of us took together.
Keep it safe, okay?
Let's make copies of that photo for all of us later.
Y-yeah, let's do that.
Oh yeah. Go grocery shopping with everyone else later.
- Where are you going? - School.
[Evidence that Love Orphanage's Subsidies Have Been Embezzled, #2]
This is more than enough.
I knew there must have been a reason why your grades were slipping.
I'm the only one to blame if I don't make it into Seoul University.
It's not the other kids' fault.
When we leave, everyone will forget about the orphanage.
And even if we say that we won't forget, we can't go back there again.
Just like you.
- Yeo Kyung. - I'm sure I'd end up the same way.
All I'd probably do is send the kids some snack money, at most.
Even though that money will probably be embezzled, too.
[You can do it! Let's not give up!]
Don't misunderstand. I'm just using you as a garbage can.
[Flower Soy Sauce Specimens]
What are you doing?
Hello?
I'm telling you!
Only girls wear things like rings!
He's lying about it being a friendship ring!
- Well, it seems cool to me. - And it's only cubic zirconia!
Don't you know the concept of "unisex?"
Wait, what did you say? S-s-sex? Stop acting like you're all that.
That's not a word you should be saying in broad daylight!
It really scares me to see how much of an idiot you are.
But what are you buying pine nuts for?
Oh, hey! Have you been doing well, you orphan bastards?
Look at you and your girly-ass glasses.
And look at you other punks laughing.
Well, laugh while you can since I'll be coming for my money soon.
And when that time comes
your laughter will fade into a world of pain!
You little shits.
- Who are you, again? - I told you, Doo Chul, damn it!
You got yourself a new motorcycle, huh?
Those bastards! Those little...
[Cho Gye Ok Noodle Shop]
- What can I get you? - The same thing as him, please.
Excuse me, lady! How could you accept money for this slop?
What did you just say? Say it again, I dare you.
- This isn't proper beef broth. - Says who?
- Do you have evidence? - Of course I do.
You used artificial flavor enhancers instead of real beef broth!
And this garnish. You used glacial acetic acid in it, didn't you?
- How dare you? Get the hell out of here! - No!
Apologize for playing with food like this, first!
Why, I ought to--
Hey, lady. Is it okay if I destroy this place
if I find even one bag of pre-made broth?
Looks like your dog-like sense of smell is still there, as always.
That bowl smelled like it was full of chemicals.
Isn't it more strange that you didn't notice that at all?
At this rate, you're going to end up dating a guy with stinky pits.
Wow, such malice.
You're not even going to ask me how I've been
after seeing me for the first time in five years?
You smell like a thug. And like jail.
And like the chemicals that you just consumed.
It's not that people pick up scents. Different scents create a person.
Wow, my Da Hae has grown up so much.
And you've aged quite a bit, Uncle Do Kkoo.
I know that you're lying!
What do you want me to do?
Crack my head open and show you my brain?
Just try and hide it. I'll figure it out, one way or another!
There's nothing to figure out, or for me to hide!
So stop fantasizing and forget about it, already!
That person was the person I loved the most.
They left such a deep impression on me that
I could never forget them, even if I died!
But you want me to forget about them?
- Why did you even call me, then? - Because I wanted to see you.
I wanted to see if you turned out right, and how much you'd grown.
I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to recognize you anymore if I put it off.
Happy?
I have an image to uphold, you know. I can't just go bowing my head.
Open it up, and press one. If you do, I'll run over to you right away.
But why did you want to talk here, of all places?
I have a debt to repay, you see. All I have are debts.
Make sure you smell like a good guy next time, all right?
Go, already!
So you even had friends, Father?
Hey, Yeo Kyung!
I'm going on a business trip to the countryside
so manage the kids well.
I'll be back tomorrow-ish.
You said that you wouldn't use the term "manage" anymore.
Oh my, I'm oh-so very sorry.
Then watch over them well, okay?
Happy now?
"Business trip to the countryside?" As if.
It's kind of like a charm. I think I'll do well if I wear it, so...
- Like them? - Hey, shut up.
You'll be a great cop.
I'm aware of that, too.
So don't commit crimes in front of me, okay?
I'll go cheer you on during the physical part of your exam.
That's why you made rice noodles, right?
They're good for digestion.
And the pine nut broth was so warm and delicious.
You're pretty much a noodle master now.
It's the first time that someone made food, just for me.
Thanks, man.
Wow, just look at the day!
All right, let's go!
- There he is now. - Oh, Tae Ha!
- Oh my gosh! - Wow, even I'm getting nervous!
The photo disappeared, so why isn't he looking for it?
Why is he so at peace?
- Hey, Tae Ha is running now! - He's running!
- Mr. Park Tae Ha? - Yes.
- Park Tae Ha! Yeah! - Park Tae Ha! You go!
Who are those people?
Oh... they're my friends, sir.
Wow, you're really giving it your all, huh?
- Hey, what's the perfect score? - 200 seconds!
Hey Tae Ha! You better do it in 150 seconds, all right?
You can do it!
Why would he even be here if he could do it in 150 seconds?
He should be training for the Olympics instead!
All right, get ready.
A thief just ran into an alleyway.
All right... let's go catch him!
Wow, as expected from Tae Ha!
Isn't he running way too quickly?
He has to, if he's going to do it in 150 seconds.
Even though it's 1000 meters?
He'd run like that even if it were 10,000 meters.
- Hey, does that make any sense? - Of course it doesn't.
So why, then?
Because you told him to.
It's the home stretch.
That's how we were.
We did anything Yeo Kyung wanted us to do.
That was the only way we'd be able to see her dazzling smile.
That was the only way that we'd be able to smile, too.
He's coming... he's coming!
- Go for it, Tae Ha! - Run! Run!
Great job!
[149 seconds]
- What's his time? - How many seconds?
- Wow, seriously? - That's amazing!
Aw, I should've brought the camcorder!
Things like this should be seen until the end of time!
Just like when you fell down?
I'm sure that footage of you from the athletic meet is around somewhere.
Yeo Kyung, why do you always have to ruin everything?
Hey, should we have a congratulatory drink since the Director isn't around?
- Where did the Director go? - A business trip to the countryside.
Why?
He went to Masan. He didn't need the photo.
And that was because he had video of me!
Taxi! Taxi!
- Where do you want to go? - Masan.
- Do you have money? - Just go. I'll pay you somehow.
I said, go! I have to go and stop him! Hurry up and go!
You bastard... are you out of your mind?
Hey, hurry up and get out! I'm busy enough as it is!
Wow, this is quite a place he's got here.
It's like the entire place is made of money!
I must leave. That's the only way I'll survive.
And I must survive in order to destroy that bastard.
Master, the director of Love Orphanage is here.
Bring him in.
Oh, hello! What a splendid place you have, here!
What kind of noodle place is-- well, um, anyway... it's impressive.
- Let me see. - Oh, of course.
Here you are.
It took quite a bit of effort for me to find this.
And wow, the gas prices are skyrocketing nowadays!
I had photos, but they were quite faded.
I'm sure that this will show you a lot more clearly.
All right.
[Love Orphanage's Athletic Meet]
Oh my, what's wrong with this?
J-j-just a moment, sir.
There's no way!
You walked in here, but it looks like you'll be crawling out.
- Chief Hwang! - W-w-wait, sir!
The tapes must have been switched! I'll go and look for it right now!
Master! Master! I'll look for it one more time! Master!
This is around the time when Gil Yong trips and falls.
One, two, three!
How did you know?
I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.
Choi Soon Suk.
He should be about that young man's age now.
And I'm sure that he has a burn scar, too.
I realized it when he said "burn scar" that you were Choi Soon Suk.
And that the Noodle Master was looking for you, and you needed to hide.
As for the videotape...
[Love Orphanage's Athletic Meet]
It's too important to just leave hidden.
It's not important whether you're Choi Soon Suk or not.
And I don't want to know what happened to you before you came here.
It's not like we can turn back time and prevent it from happening, anyway.
But you know, Moo Myung... let's not run away, at the very least.
We don't have any place left to run to anymore.
I was the only one who hadn't known
that we had no place to run to from the very beginning.
And that this was the end of the road.
Were you waiting for me? To relish in my failure?
You're the one who swapped the tapes, right?
- Say something, bastard! - Let me ask you something.
What do you think about the saying
"living a great life is the best revenge toward your enemies?"
- What? - I can't seem to agree with it.
Paying them back tenfold for what they did is the best revenge.
- That's something I can get behind. - What the hell are you saying, bastard?
Let me give you a warning.
Don't get involved. And if you do, you'd better wager your damn life, like we are.
Crazy bastard.
Water.
- Hey, you. - It's Doo Chul, sir!
Oh, whatever!
Anyway, who's the best fighter?
All right! You won! You won!
Number 19 got double cherries!
- Here's a tip. Take it. - Thanks a ton! Hope you win some more!
Welcome!
How have you been? Doing well? Huh?
Just wait a bit, punk.
Are you the boss of this place?
- Have you eaten? - Have you gone mad, bastard?
Piss off with your crazy man antics, man.
I asked if you've eaten, bastard.
I've been starving myself so that I'd have room to grind you up and eat you!
- Why? - Great.
I'm asking since there's some guys who tend to throw up when they get beaten up.
Crazy bastard!
This place is mine now. Anyone got a problem with that?
If you do, come at me! I'll give you a grand old time.
First things first, return my motorcycle.
Got it? Return it, and give me the money you sold my other one for.
Wait, no. That's too nice of me.
- Pay me back tenfold. Got it? - Crazy bastard.
You'd better, before I go to the orphanage and destroy it!
- What about Tae Ha? - He went to return the motorcycle.
What? Oh, damn it!
- Here you go. - You bastard.
Are you returning this to me, right now?
But you still need to give me a rental fee.
So, Tae Ha, did you bring me some money?
Here. Do whatever you want with this.
Why you little... you think you're hot shit because you're becoming a cop?
Crazy bastard-- whoa!
Hey, come on, now. Cops shouldn't fight thugs.
I'm Doo Chul, damn it!
Damn it, it's so noisy that I can't sleep!
I'm sorry, sir!
Take the guys and go for a stroll. I have to talk to him for a sec.
Sir, but taking a stroll in the hills at this time of night is...
What, do you want me to send you out for even longer then?
- No, sir! Hey, let's go! - Yes, sir!
You're Tae Ha? I've seen you before, right?
Wow, you're not like him in the slightest.
Are you really Park Tae Ha?
Who are you?
Me? Do Kkoo. I don't let go once I bite, hence my name.
Your dad never mentioned me?
Don't bring my father into this.
Oh? And what are you going to do about it?
Isn't your dad a total coward?
He used to quiver in fear and piss his pants all the time.
Looks like a mere pup was trying to fight a tiger.
Tae Ha!
Hey, wake up! Tae Ha!
Get over here.
Now isn't the time.
You're going to take care of him? Good. That's the smart thing to do.
Take him and go.
I heard that Tae Ha is becoming a cop soon.
- Is that true? - Yeah.
And he'll lock you away first.
He came at me like a rabid dog when I merely mentioned his dad.
So will he really be able to become a cop?
Isn't it strange, sir?
I'm talking about the director from Love Orphanage.
No matter how much I think about it, I don't think he was here to play around.
And there's no way he would've told such an obvious lie.
Leave.
I get beaten up here, and there... I'm like the neighborhood's punching bag.
Me! Me, Lee Myung Shik! The great Lee Myung Shik!
I don't know why I'm like this... I really don't know why!
I don't know. Oh, whatever!
Oh, sir! Why are you calling me so late at night?
You idiot. Why are you going around doing such idiotic things?
I'm talking about the documents regarding the embezzlement from the orphanage!
Mr. Park hid it when it came in, and passed it along to me.
If this gets out, everyone's dead.
So hurry up and figure this out, bastard!
Why, I ought to... get up! Get up!
You're the one behind all this, right?
Do I look like an idiot to you? Huh?
Hey!
Damn it, I'm going to go insane! How dare you try to run away!
Hey! You little... how dare all of you challenge me like this!
I'm going to destroy you, so that you'll regret this forever!
You little... stay still! Stay still, damn it!
[Master of Goong Rak Won]
[Master: God of Noodles]

Live a long time.
If everything ends here, you're just helping him.
I have a secret. You must keep it.
Protect Yeo Kyung. Don't leave her alone for a second.
What's going on? Why am I patient here?
I can't send you off like this, so don't even dream of it, bastard!
I'm not "hunting."
I'm just trying to find an old friend's son.
This is a small way of repaying my debt from back in Masan.
Incident Number 1994, prisoner number 15011.
Find out what happened.
Acting as if you know me, and acting as you don't...
none of that will work on me.
