[Episode 15]
Pour, you son of a bitch.
You're a monster that killed a person with an ashtray.
So where do you get off now, trying to act like a human being?
Subtitles by DramaFever
Since when have you been aware of this?
Since...
you showed your face on television as a professional.
So...
how did you manage to stay quiet about this
all the way up until now?
When you make sauce, you have to to let it ferment.
People are the same way.
What is it that you want, Senator?
The top-secret confidential documents.
Also
I want the Goong Rak Foundation.
I want them both.
You're being far too greedy.
You're telling me to hand over my life
for a little position in politics.
So you can hand it over now and steal it back later.
Isn't that what you do best?
Out of 50 million, only 300 people can be awarded the Gold Senator's Badge.
I refuse.
Do you seriously think
that you can beat me in a fight?
I don't exactly think I'm going to lose.
You've done so many dirty things
that you will be destroyed to rubble if someone looks into your past.
4,500 won.
And you think that you're going to be safe from scrutiny?
Do you have a death wish?
No, this is for my survival.
They say that even a mouse will attack a cat when it gets cornered.
So don't try to corner me.
Yeah, there might be mice that attack cats.
But not a single mouse has survived after they did it.
I've never it happen before.
Have you?
Are you all right, sir?
Have you ever
feared someone?
Has anyone ever made you gasp for air, just from the thought of them?
They make your blood run cold when you look into their eyes?
No, sir.
You haven't...
If anything...
I'm scared of my father's blood, that runs through my veins.
I'm scared that the blood of that murderer
will make me go crazy one day.
I kept you waiting for a while, didn't I?
I'm late because I had to speak to Master Ha.
I didn't know that you would be here so quickly.
The materials you sent to me were very helpful.
But where exactly did you get these things?
I'm sorry
but I'm not at liberty to share that information.
Well, how useful it is
is much more important than where it came from.
But I do have one thing I need to confirm with you, Madame Go.
Why are you trying to destroy Master Ha?
Goong Rak Won
belongs to the Go Clan.
But he is doing whatever he wants, and he is destroying it.
I'm going to stop him, no matter what that takes.
But why are you asking me, of all people?
You are the only person in the world...
that he is afraid of.
That's why I reached out to you.
I want that evil man to learn how scary the world can be
at the hands...
of his wife.
[DNA Parentage Test Report]
Why are you acting like this, all of the sudden?
You were mean to me, and now you're being so nice.
Which you is the real you?
I heard that you received 20 percent of Goong Rak Won's shares.
Why not just pick one and give them your shares?
Don't think about it too much.
You stay here. I can stay at Goong Rak Won.
So this is why you were being nice to me?
So that you could use me?
Geez, what's with that look? Why are you so surprised?
Wait... You want me to do all this by myself?
A dishwasher doing dishes makes sense. What else would they be doing?
You dragged me in here, even though I said that I don't want to work here
while that chef guy jumps ship?
What are you talking about?
Da Hae!
Where have you been, and what have you been doing?
What do you mean, the chef is jumping ship?
He left us all behind
for some place called Chi Myun Restaurant.
It's clear, obviously he only cares about himself!
Why, I ought to grind that bastard up...
Hey, what do you mean, "grind him up"? Don't say scary things like that.
You don't know anything about it, so just stay quiet.
So where is he now?
What is it?
I'll ask you the same thing. What the hell are you doing?
Ms. Da Hae.
You're quitting here
and going to the Chi Myun Restaurant?
So the reason you were nice to me
and taught me noodle-making, and let me stay at your place...
You did all of that so you could use me?
Did you do that
so I would give my shares to Master Ha?
Ms. Da Hae, first, calm down and then, hear me out.
I think that you have misunderstood something here.
I dare you to look at this, and then say that to me again.
[DNA Parentage Test Report]
I thought you were someone who liked noodles as much as I did.
And someone who harbored the same amount of pain inside that I did.
Your sincerity reminded me of myself
and it gave me strength just to be by your side.
And I was so thankful when you looked out for me.
How much longer are you going to whine at me?
The one who deceived the other first was you, Ms. Da Hae. Not me.
You're Master Ha's daughter, and yet acted like you weren't.
You were the one, playing both Madame Go and Madame Seol.
And it sure wasn't a coincidence that Master Go's shares were given to you.
That person's death...
This is
no ordinary noodle restaurant.
This is a battlefield where people fight with their lives on the line.
So if you're looking for sincerity, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Evil bastard.
Listen damn carefully to what I'm about to say.
This is a battlefield, where you kill, or you get killed.
And I must win, no matter what it takes.
I'm going to use any damn thing that I can
and I'll trample on anything that I need to, to achieve my goals.
So don't meddle my brain, with your innocence act.
Sincerity towards noodles?
What a load of bullshit.
I know...
how much you detest Master Ha.
But you know what?
You're no different from him.
That's what I want right now.
To become just like your father.
You better come back here.
And when you do
I'll be the one to drive you out.
Where have you been?
I was so worried! Why didn't you pick up my calls?
It's my decision to go wherever I please.
And how is it your business whether or not I leave my phone off?
Oh...
I know, I disappeared even though you were supposed to watch me.
So you must have been punished by Master Ha.
I'm sorry. I should have stayed in plain sight.
Ms. Da Hae.
I'm so damn tired
of people acting like they care about me to use me!
It's really pissing me off now! I'm begging you.
Please, leave me alone.
It's not like that.
That's what Madame Go, Madame Seol
and Master Ha all said.
They all said that at first.
I don't think
that you'll be any different than them.
Yeah, there might be mice that attack cats.
But not a single mouse has survived after they did it.
Have you returned?
I saw you at the crematorium.
I don't know whether or not you were putting on an act then
but if that was a lie too
then I really was born for no purpose whatsoever.
So I've decided that I'll trust you.
However, I won't believe anything else except for that.
You used the shares that I gave you
to send the chef to Chi Myun Restaurant, I see.
I know that you used him to get to me too.
- I don't know anything about that. - It doesn't matter.
It's all in the past now, and I'll just feel more betrayed if I dwell on it.
The Goong Rak Won shares that I gave you.
I'll be taking them back.
I...
like noodles.
And the people in the kitchen feel the same way.
But all you people care about, is money, and shares.
I'll use all of the resources available to me to survive.
Whether that might entail shares that fell out of thin air
or being your daughter, I'll use anything I can.
I will protect Goong Rak Won
so that it doesn't fall into the hands of people who are hungry for money.
Looks like you've matured.
Take them.
And protect them.
You can only take what belongs to others
when you can reliably protect what's already yours.
I have no intention of taking anything that belongs to others.
If you become the owner of Chi Myun Restaurant
you'll be taking something that belongs to Moo Myung.
And if you become the Master, you'll be taking something that belongs to me.
It's not bad to take what belongs to others.
It's bad to have things taken from you.
What's this, sir?
Take a look.
[Bank Account Details]
If you look closely...
you'll be able to figure out where the check came from.
There's only one bank account that had money transferred out.
And only one person who received a check.
Do Kkoo.
That money made its way overseas...
through a paper company.
It'll spend a year abroad and will return a year later, after it's been laundered.
It must be the Goong Rak Foundation.
I can use this to link Ha Jung Tae and the Goong Rak Foundation to everything.
Don't lay a finger on the Goong Rak Foundation!
What?
All you have to do is target Ha Jung Tae, alone.
The Goong Rak Foundation doesn't need to be involved in all of this too.
Wait a minute, sir.
Ha Jung Tae is very closely linked to the Foundation, so...
What do you mean, leave it alone?
All you need to do is do as I tell you.
All you need to do is capture Do Kkoo and drag Ha Jung Tae into this.
And then just perform a search and seizure at Goong Rak Won.
Furthermore, all you need to do during search, is find one document.
That's what you must do.
I...
am not your errand girl.
I have no plans of adjusting my investigation to suit your needs.
I'm not asking you to run an errand.
I'm asking you for a favor. Why don't you understand that?
What is it that you really want, Senator?
Is it Ha Jung Tae, or that document that you want me to find?
At first, this began as a way for me to investigate the murder of my parents.
But now, you're just asking me to run personal errands for you.
I have no reason to continue doing this.
Are you trying to make a deal with me right now, or something?
A deal involves give-and-take from both parties.
But you haven't given me a single thing yet.
- So where do you get the nerve? - Senator!
Do the search and seizure and find that document for me!
Only then
will I tell you who killed your father.
This would be a real, fair deal.
Just what is this document, that you're acting this way over it?
If you open it, you'll get hurt. And if you read it, you'll die.
So don't you dare open it. And don't dare to even think to read it.
Do you know what gets me angriest?
When a good, virtuous man is looked down upon.
Chief An, it's me.
About Prosecutor Chae...
I thought she was smart
but she has a hard time grasping what I'm saying.
Make her understand.
And then take care of the search and seizure yourself.
Do the search and seizure, and get me that document.
Only then
will I tell you who killed your father.
Yeah, it's me. Let's meet up.
[Chi Myun Restaurant Menu: Royal court-style quail buckwheat]
Head Chef, what's all of this?
Come on in. I was working on a menu.
So, what happened? Did you leave Goong Rak Won for good?
No, only for a little while. I'll be back there soon.
What's this?
Make sure you're taking care of yourself.
Just a second.
Thanks.
Can I try these?
Wait. I'll you make a fresh one.
No, it's okay! The noodles aren't swollen. It's fine.
It's good.
Here's evidence that Goong Rak Foundation has been involved in money laundering.
We'll start with Do Kkoo. It will be easy to link him to Master Ha.
This evidence is more than enough to get a search warrant for Goong Rak Won.
So what will happen next?
We'll be summoning Do Kkoo in the morning
and performing a search and seizure.
In these situations, you risk evidence being destroyed, so we'll move fast.
Just tell me
the location of his secret room.
First, I have to get into his secret room.
I told you to stay behind me, so why are you trying to jump forward?
This isn't the time for you to be stubborn about trivial details.
We need to focus on destroying Master Ha
and getting you out of Goong Rak Won, as soon as possible.
So, tell me. Where is his secret room?
I can't tell you for sure.
He changed the way in, so I barely got out of there alive last time.
But is this information, from a credible source?
You don't have to tell me who it was if you don't want to.
I got this from Senator So Tae Sup.
It's legit.
And here. This.
These are some materials I gathered that are relevant to Ha Jung Tae. Take a look.
I'll be going, then.
Move.
I wasn't monitoring you. I was protecting you.
I've never once thought that I was monitoring you.
Also, nobody monitors anyone within such close proximity.
Monitoring someone
is done as far away from the subject as possible, without being seen.
I'm sorry...
about that time.
I was worked up. I didn't know who I could trust.
- That's why... - That's why...
I'm happy.
Have... you been doing well?
I've been so-so.
And you?
So-so.
So, why are you here?
I want...
to make a shameless request of you.
I need to know where the secret room is.
If that's what you want to talk about, I have nothing to say.
Moo Myung is trying to get back in there.
I know he almost got caught last time.
This time, he might also...
This can't go on any longer.
Master Ha has caught on.
He laid out a trap, waiting for someone to fall in.
So doing that would be the same as walking into his trap.
That's why I'm making the first move.
Please tell me how I can get into the secret room.
It's the only way to keep Moo Myung safe. And there...
may also be things pertaining to your father, and my parents in there.
Tae Ha.
Even I've never even been in there.
There is one thing that gets to me though.
Master Ha...
has been making sure he carries around this one fountain pen for some time now.
I'm sure that he won't have any paperwork to do
once he gives up his rights to Goong Rak Won.
And he never writes anything with it, nor does he ever need to sign anything.
And he's quite visibly restless when he doesn't have it.
A fountain pen?
That's all that I can tell you.
Thanks.
Go.
It's true...
that a person would be able to get by just fine...
without friends.
And maybe friends are nothing special, just like you said.
But you know, Tae Ha...
Don't force yourself to act that way.
Get home safely.
What about the warrant?
What's taking so long?
Chief Prosecutor An.
Were you waiting for this?
[Search Warrant]
Why do you have this--
I'll be handling this search and seizure personally.
Sir!
We'll split up into two teams and then we'll go into Goong Rak Won.
You and I will be heading in there together, okay?
Wait... Wait a minute, sir!
What exactly is this?
Let me tag along too. Follow me.
Oh, geez...
There's a whole crew of you, isn't there?
You should have called ahead if you wanted to have a staff dinner here.
We have a search and seizure warrant. We order you to comply.
Well if it's an order, of course, I must obey.
Get started!
What are you saying? A search and seizure?
I guess his bad deeds finally caught up to him.
I'm sure he'll deal with the consequences on his own, whatever they end up being.
You...
You didn't...
Are you behind all of this?
Why? I've already lost pretty much everything anyway.
Are you saying that I should just sit here and take it quietly?
Gang Sook!
This will lead to your own demise too!
You'll end up harming Goong Rak Won in your pursuit for Master Ha's blood!
I'm going to lose it anyway, just by sitting still.
I'll deal him his blows, even if it means losing some blood in the process.
You seriously...
Just watch.
Even bugs wriggle when you step on them.
And I'm a human, you know.
So I shouldn't fight back, at least a bit more than a bug would?
Geez, I'm going to go insane...
Gang Sook.
Everything's clean. There isn't even any dust.
Damn it...
What's going on?
Don't you just have to dig through what you have to dig through
and take what you need to take?
I'm a bit disappointed in you, Prosecutor An.
I wonder if the Director is aware of this situation.
I think I'm going to go crazy.
Can you wrap things up now?
I've talked to the kitchen. If any of you are hungry
you can have some noodles before you go, if you'd like.
Hey, pull out.
We'll finish the search and seizure. So, please sign here.
I need to do this too?
Geez, how complicated...
Will that be all?
What a great fountain pen.
This is something that I bought, as a gift to myself.
Do you mind if I take a look at it?
I need to give someone a gift in a few weeks.
I can't even look at it for a quick second?
Of course you can.
What are you doing?
Oh!
Wow, this is really something. Does it have any other features?
Get in there!
Geez, seriously...
It's totally clean, huh?
There's something else
that we need to do during the mourning period.
Something else?
Wow, you people sure are working hard!
How is it
that there's more stuff leaving than there is, coming in? Huh?
Hey, that's enough. Get out. Get out.
It was you. You did this, didn't you?
Say something! You told Master Ha about this, didn't you?
You're the only person I told about this. So you must have been the one!
How could you do this to me? How? How could you?
Yeo Kyung.
Master Ha... cannot fall from grace just yet.
No...
He won't be defeated by these measures.
After I get everything that I want from him
And, after I find out Father's name, then...
You know...
I sacrificed everything to get you out of Goong Rak Won.
And Tae Ha...
went there because of his friend.
No, because of you!
And even Gil Yong ran right over as soon as you needed help!
And... And yet, this is how you repay us?
Revenge? Fine! Try and do things your way then.
But you know, even if you succeed with your revenge
by that point, there won't be a single person by your side.
You'll be laughing alone, and you'll be crying alone too!
I made it so easy for you. You couldn't even get this taken care of?
Ah, yes, well...
I believe that there was a leak from somewhere.
And you lost Do Kkoo?
Yes, sir.
We have to link Master Ha to this through Do Kkoo
so how could you lose him?
We've put out "Wanted" posters of him. For now--
For now? Until when?
Catch him.
In order for us to catch Master Ha, you need to find Do Kkoo.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Also... And...
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung.
I think we'll have to use any means necessary to punish her...
Can't we just suspend her for a bit?
We don't know when we'll have to use her again.
So don't crush her too badly.
Yes, sir.
But you know, even if you succeed with your revenge
by that point, there won't be a single person by your side.
You'll be laughing alone, and you'll be crying alone too!
Tomorrow's the grand opening, right?
Yes, sir.
Wow, this is nice. It's nice and simple.
But why did you give me that information regarding the search and seizure?
I wanted to help you in any way that I could.
And how did you find out about it?
I overheard Senator So Tae Sup on the phone with a prosecutor.
Oh...
But you know
I was already making preparations for that.
It's something that I predicted would happen, sooner or later.
But I never considered the idea that you would help me.
That was not something that I predicted.
Did I... do something I shouldn't have?
I'm praising you. I'm trying to tell you that I'm thankful.
When I visited Masan's Chi Myun Restaurant
for the first time after being cooped up in Bongpyeong, I thought...
"Wow... So there are noodle restaurants of this magnitude."
At first, it almost seemed like a palace to me.
But when I took a look at it again later, it was just a simple traditional home.
As a person's dreams get bigger, their past seems more and more shoddy.
Make this place so grand
that Goong Rak Won
will seem shoddy in comparison.
I believe that you're more than capable of doing that.
I'm off then.
Yes.
Did you live in Bongpyeong... for a long time?
Including the time that I spent learning noodle-making
I'd say I was there for about two years, at a friend's place.
You became the successor of Masan's Chi Myun Restaurant, in just two years?
I got lucky.
Just like I did now.
[Property Deed]
Ha Jung Tae apparently was wanted for breaking the law in his college days.
He disappeared for a bit
and then requested new copies of his ID and family registry.
And he did this in Bongpyeong, Gangwon Province.
Ha Jung Tae...
Gangwon Province, Pyeongchang County, Bongpyeong-myeon, Yupori.
That's my old home address.
Bongpyeong 801-2.
That's where my parents and I used to live.
Why is this address registered to Ha Jung Tae?
And on top of that, Ha Jung Tae said that he lived at his friend's place.
So how could the addresses...
Regardless, I think Kim Gil Do went around stealing identities.
I copied it, and stole it all.
If that bastard stole my father's name...
If he swapped his name with my father's...
If that monster not only killed my father
but stole my father's identity too...
then Ha Jung Tae was my father's name!
And yet, I've cursed that name my entire life!
But that was his name...
These are the sales reports for Goong Rak Won, for May and June.
They're meaningless
since it's all going to change soon, anyway.
Let's chat for a bit.
Do we have any business remaining, with one another?
It was only natural to expect us to meet again, on opposite sides of the stand
even if we haven't found incriminating evidence yet.
It's only natural that issues arise when you accuse innocent people.
And when issues arise, reflect on the causes, instead of looking elsewhere.
That's why I came here.
So that I wouldn't be dragged around, and so that I could solve this on my own.
That's great. I hope you yield good results.
Chief Park, see Prosecutor Chae out.
Kim Gil Do.
This is you, right?
I've never heard that name before.
It does look a little like me though.
Even so, I've never seen that face before.
Looks like you're barking up the wrong tree.
Here. Let me correct you now. So memorize this.
Chae Yeo Kyung. A prosecutor in the SFD of the Seoul Prosecutor's Office.
Your father was Chae Il Hwan.
Chae Il Hwan was a lieutenant, and was discharged later on.
He was a professor researching national defense, and then he was killed.
And the murderer was Park Moo Taek, a druggie with a criminal record.
Senator So is backing you right now, correct?
Okay. Now, I'll push Senator So aside.
Professor Chae arrived at home that night after his daughter's birthday party.
Park Moo Taek was waiting, and killed Professor Chae and his wife.
I'm sure that the investigation log only details the events up until this point.
Please. Please stop.
No... please continue.
Park Moo Taek, who killed Professor Chae, approaches his daughter, the witness.
With a bloodied knife in his hand.
I told you, please, stop!
Continue!
At that moment, the now-deceased Professor Chae's phone goes off.
That sound startles Park Moo Taek, and he flees the scene.
Thus, the sound of that phone is what saved Professor Chae's young daughter.
Do you know, who called that phone, at that moment?
It was me.
I'm sure you'll know if you look at the incident log
but Professor Chae's number was...
- 017-2387
- 3937. - 3937.
How do you know that?
It's like you were there.
Senator So and I loathe one another, very deeply.
We've been watching one another, for thirty years now.
That's how I found out about all of this.
Senator So used you, Prosecutor Chae, to catch me.
You know the person who was really behind their murder, don't you?
Tell me.
Hurry up and tell me!
That's your job, Prosecutor Chae. Not mine.
Shouldn't you prioritize finding out who that was, instead of coming after me?
I didn't bring this up to reopen your old scars.
It's something that you would have to be aware of anyway.
And I felt that it was time for you to finally know, now.
Is it really... Senator So?
Yes, that's right.
He is the person I fear most in this life.
If you go now, you'll die.
[Seven Days Later]
Hey, there hasn't been an order for 20 minutes now, right?
Even if lunch is winding down, isn't this still a bit much?
I think "a bit much" is a bit of an understatement.
It's the first time in my life I've ever had so much free time in a kitchen!
Geez... What if the place really folds, at this point?
Why are you all acting like this, suddenly?
Is it really okay for the dishwasher's hands to be so dry like this?
Shut that mouth of yours, right now!
They say that nobody ever knows what they had, until it's gone.
Who knew that not having our chef would have such a huge impact?
Geez...
Who's this?
She's a noodle-maker, Clan Elder.
Hm?
Oh, my... Would you look at that?
How can you sleep at times like these?
Get the hell up right now!
How noisy...
Oh, Clan Elder.
What brings you here?
Did you sell Goong Rak Won?
What?
I'm asking if you sold it!
What are you talking about, all of a sudden?
Do you know why Goong Rak Won's sales are so bad right now?
Well...
obviously because you gave management rights to the wrong person.
The nerve!
Because you're selling royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles at Chi Myun!
You didn't know Chi Myun Restaurant was selling that dish?
And for half the price we sell it at?
Your Chi Myung Restaurant is killing Goong Rak Won!
- No way. - Why? You can't believe it?
Come with me, then! Come with me, and see for yourself!
- Another water here, please! - Over here!
Please head in that way.
- How long is the wait? - About 40 minutes.
- Wow, that's a long wait. - Please come again!
It sure is different than Goong Rak Won...
- Our noodles are great too, sir. - It does seem that way.
The noodles are quite chewy!
This is the royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles.
It's better than Goong Rak Won!
Moo Myung.
Moo Myung, go downstairs for a bit.
Then, please converse freely.
Are you still going to insist that you never gave him the recipe?
It tastes the same as the one at Goong Rak Won!
Did you seriously teach him how to make this?
Why would I do that?
I'm obviously saying this because you did do it!
Did you acknowledge him as your successor without telling us, and then teach him?
What do you mean, acknowledge him as my successor, without the Clan's permission?
There's no way, sir.
What are you going to do if he opens a shop in front of Goong Rak Won, huh?
There's no need for me to say anything else.
Hurry up and acknowledge him as your successor before he gets any funny ideas
and make him sign a promise saying that he won't open his own restaurant!
Please, calm down. I'll come up with a solution after I look into this more.
Forget that!
Master Ha. Listen carefully right now.
If I add my shares to Gang Sook's and Madame Seol's, we reach 50 percent.
Furthermore, if we add that Da Hae's or whatever, we get 70 percent.
Do you know what will happen then?
We can revoke the title of "Master" from you.
You've crossed the line, sir.
You'll need to make a wise decision. Got that?
The only reason you had any power at all is because you were the only one who knew
the recipe for the royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles.
If everyone knows the recipe, then you're useless to us. Got that?
Let's go.
Do you remember
the contract you signed when you first came to Chi Myun Restaurant?
If you really shared that recipe without permission
you'll lose everything that you have.
Detective Kim. I'm suspended from duty right now.
Here's what you requested. Materials regarding Senator So.
I'm sure that these will be worth your time.
There's some dirty stuff in there too.
Also...
your father never...
worked for Senator So in the army.
He was fired for revealing corruption within the ranks.
Even if you just seem like you're lying
I'll make you disappear.
I don't care about the successor thing, or about the Go Clan.
And I will definitely go to great lengths to get you back for this.
Fine. Ask me the question then.
Why did you put the royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles on the menu?
Because you never told me not to.
All you told me
was to make Goong Rak Won seem shoddy in comparison.
That's why I put it on the menu.
Where did you learn to make royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles?
I can recreate any food that I've tasted once.
Royal court-style quail buckwheat noodles' flavors change significantly
just by tweaking sauce rations a bit.
So it just took me some time to get it down.
Fine. Let's do this, then.
I'm going to make the most difficult noodles that I know how to make.
Then, you must recreate them, just by tasting them.
If you truly are a super-taster, you'll be able to recreate the flavors.
And if you're not, the taste will differ slightly.
Are you up to the challenge?
Fine, sir.
If you win, I'll acknowledge you as my successor.
Furthermore, you'll become the chef at Goong Rak Won once again.
You'll also be working at Goong Rak Won three days a week.
But if you fail, I'll consider it as you having stolen the recipe.
And so, you'll have to deal with the appropriate consequences.
Is that still okay with you?
Of course, sir.
Fine. 10:00 p.m. tomorrow.
The kitchens at Goong Rak Won.
And the dish... will be an item that I'll be deciding upon.
I'll see you tomorrow then.
Senator.
Prosecutor Chae.
I heard that you wanted to see me.
I'm afraid that I've been out of line this entire time.
The fact that I was moved to Special Forces
and the fact that I was given such an important case, despite being a rookie
was all thanks to you. And yet, I had forgotten that.
It's true that I misunderstood your good intentions, and I doubted you.
I apologize.
What brought on this sudden change of heart?
They say it isn't good when people change so suddenly.
I realized that nothing is possible with my solely my own power.
If you'd be so gracious as to give me one more chance
I'll catch Master Ha Jung Tae for you.
And then...
what must I do for you to do that?
Please lift my suspension, and give me back my team.
Pear naengmyun?
There are no such things as super-tasters.
This is the last hurdle I must overcome, before I become his successor.
I'm certain that he learned it from Ha Jung Tae.
If I just overcome this
I'll pick up the power to drag that bastard down.
If he reacts in any way to what I tell him, then he is Choi Soon Suk.
No matter what happens, I must not falter.
If he reacts in any way...
Calm down.
I definitely won't let that bastard live.
I have to calm down to survive.
You're making pear naengmyun, I see.
The pear-and-brisket broth is quite important.
If there's too much pear, it will be too sweet.
But if there isn't enough, you won't be able to taste the pear at all.
That's right. Go ahead and begin.
Just a moment.
If you roast bamboo lightly, it secretes a sap. It has a charred taste.
That's joongyuk. But I don't see that among the ingredients here.
There's bamboo here though, isn't there?
I understand. I'll make it.
Just listen.
There's a story that I want to tell you.
Go ahead.
There's a novel that I read.
The main character was so good at copying others
when he would steal, deceive, and mimic others, people would always fall for it.
Then...
he made a grave mistake and ended up being pursued.
He runs away, and then ends up meeting a friend.
But...
he was so jealous of that friend's life, that he wanted to steal it.
He learned a lot from him, and this friend was quite skilled.
And so...
he pushed him off a cliff.
Time went by, and one day, that friend's wife came to see him.
He even had a child, and was living a happy life.
But the main character goes to his friend's house once more.
Why? Well, to rid himself of the evidence.
You married, and even had a child. How nice.
That's nice and all, but why did you have to crawl out and be so damn nosy?
You should have stayed cooped up in here, living.
And then...
he sets a fire.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry at all.
Have you ever burned a dragonfly before?
No, I haven't, sir.
When you do, they burn with a crackling noise.
It's just like the sound of burning bamboo.
Crackle.
I've never heard of this book.
Does it really exist?
It's a book that isn't published yet.
And I'm the author
of this novel.

I've found some evidence.
I believe that we can charge both Do Kkoo and Master Ha.
This is because of Master Ha, right?
Whoever stays by your father's side, ends up with misfortune.
The reason I came here was to get revenge for my parents.
I'm already far too involved. It's too late to turn back now.
Chae Yeo Kyung!
Park Moo Taek was someone who worked for Master Ha.
I've found Do Kkoo. Please go there immediately.
I think tomorrow would be good.
