Episode 13
Hey, count and see how many there are.
There are 46.
When people age, we get wrinkles.
Trees gain tree rings.
All of these are like my wrinkles and tree rings.
46... you're still in your prime.
Jung Tae...
Yes.
Use these as your base and multiply them to 100, 200.
The essence of all food is in the sauce.
The sauce has to be good in order to make delicious noodles.
Even if you forget everything else, don't ever forget this. Got it?
Of course. I understand.
This guy... he's almost a Masan man.
Damn that old man. Why did he have to do that?
What are you thinking about?
About your father.
So strange... a son-in-law is thinking of his father-in-law...
But why do I get goose bumps?
Gil Do...
Stop now.
Did you... just call me Gil Do? How am I Kim Gil Do?
Chi Meon Restaurant in the marketplace and Goong Rak Won in Gangnam... it was Ha Jung Tae who built all that.
Ha Jung Tae is the one who transformed a marketplace noodle maker into a noodle master with skills to make the palace pheasant buckwheat noodles.
Ha Jung Tae is the one who worked like a slave eating food so uncomfortably given by the Go family.
Why am I Kim Gil Do only at times like this?
Why exactly!
Kim Gil Do is...
a murderer.
Am I the only one who killed someone?
The only person I ever loved... you killed her.
Are you shocked? Do you want to be shocked even more?
The daughter of the woman you killed... do you know who it is?
Da Hae.
Don't... don't... don't lie. It's all... a lie.
Do you know why I didn't kill you and kept you alive?
When you die, your daughter Go Gang Sook inherits your shares.
Goong Rak Won... is mine.
I built it with my life on the line. No one can touch it.
If anyone touches it... you and even your daughter Go Gang Sook...
will never be safe.
So, let's make a deal.
Bequeath your shares to me.
And you... you're neither dead nor alive. Just breathe.
I can't accept anything else but that.
Gil... Kim... Gil Do... you...
Looking for a robbery murder suspect in Seongbukdong.
Is this the same person I'm thinking of? Who else besides you knows about it?
Now you know as well, Elder.
Why are you giving this to me?
Shouldn't you at least know whether you're embracing a human being or an animal?
Leave that to me. If you ignore this, I'll have to reveal it to the world.
He killed someone.
Forget it!
Grandpa, are you okay? Grandpa...
Did the Noodle Master come here?
I smell Cho Oh. He was here, right? What did he do? Huh?
Da Hae...
Yes, Grandpa. Please speak.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry...
Yes.
Did you review the composite drawing?
It's from 34 years ago. The statute of limitation has passed more than twice.
Isn't this just a common robbery murder case?
The crime location... Seungbukdong 387-18
The owner of the house hasn't changed in 34 years. Do you know who the owner is?
Senator So Tae Seop.
Are you sure?
Yes, Prosecutor.
I understand. Come into the office for now.
What's this about?
What else could it be? It's the skill of asking for a favor.
Explain, so I can understand.
Someone as powerful as him never assigns a case in particular. It all becomes a problem later as applying pressure.
If your back itches, he makes you scratch your calves first.
Once you start scratching, wouldn't he scratch your back one of these days?
He pulled me in, so that I can dig into a case involving him personally?
Since you ate a bowl of soup and rice with him, he's asking you to pay for it.
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Gyeong
Excuse me for a moment.
Prosecutor Chae, it's me.
The murder case at Seongbukdong with the composite drawing... it occurred at your home.
Your housekeeper was murdered and the killer is Kim Gil Do. Is that right?
It's correct.
Did you drag me into this to satisfy a personal vendetta, Senator?
On top of that, the statute of limitation on this case has passed already.
What are you talking about?
The murderer Kim Gil Do and...
Goong Rak Won's Ha Jung Tae... How are they relevant?
They are relevant.
Don't be hasty in your conclusion and you should dig in more.
Hello? Hello, Senator?
Looking for a robbery murder suspect in Seongbukdong.
Where are you coming from?
There was something I had to take care of in a hurry.
- Let's go inside. - Sure.
Take away the scent by adding rowan.
By adding poria cocos (a type of mushroom), you need to capture the taste of the sauce.
This is my secret recipe. It should never leak.
I'm sorry. I had to take an urgent call.
You're a busy man. Is everything okay?
Why are you sweating so much? You're not feeling well?
No, I'm okay.
Bamboo leaf?
Now, let's eat.

What a wonderful combination of clams and wild ginseng...
Your attention to the subtle details of healing noodles.. I'm impressed.
These healing noodles were delicious. I enjoyed them very much.
Senator So, please say a word.
I feel like I'm sitting in deep woods full of camphor aroma.
Next noodles please.
These are unusual. There is something hidden but I can taste it.
The presentation is dynamic but the state of the noodles are lacking. It's unfortunate.
I believe you probably boiled the cape jasmine dough first.
Unfortunately, the noodles are a bit over too loose.
I'm of the same opinion, Madam Seol.
Let's reveal the score.
Oh, before that... I want to hear each of your ways of making the broth.
It's getting late and the Senator is busy.
Let's decide on the Noodle Master.
I'm fine with that.
How about it? Is it possible to reveal it?
Yes.
Then, why don't we hear about five herbal rice noodles first?
For broth, I used astragalus (ground plum), acanthopanax, arrowroot, goji, jujube, silver vine...
and cho oh. (Aconite root - a very toxic poison)
Cho oh?
Cho oh is used as poison for death sentences.
It can kill an ox if consumed in large amounts.
You're saying you put poison?
If you wanted to kill us, you could've, right?
Cho oh is poison, but it's also medicine.
Cho oh gets rid of bad smell in herbs and brings out the savory flavor. It's also good for arthritis and diabetes.
That's why I used it.
If you put poison inside food. Does that make you a beast or a human being?
There isn't any reason to go there. It was tasty.
Let's considerate it a good competition.
What did you put in the camphor clam noodles?
I put wild ginseng, goji, dong quai, licorice, and astragalus (huang qi).
Now... I'm sure your curiosity has been satisfied.
Astragalus isn't in there.
Instead of astragalus, he put rowan.
Also, poria cocos is in it.
Kim Da Hae consider what is appropriate to involve yourself in.
Wait, I remember that recipe.
Don't be insistent.
Rowan and poria cocos are medicinal herbs used along with wild ginseng.
The Assistant Noodle Maker probably is confused about what he used, right?
I'll ask the assistant noodle maker for the last time.
This has your reputation at stake so answer honestly.
Was it a simple mistake or
or did you not put rowan and poria cocos?
As for me... rowan and white poria cocos...
I didn't use them.
Regardless of what happened, it was my shortcoming so I will take full responsibility.
I'll take responsibility and quit.
I'm sorry for causing you to worry.
Ingredients that were never used must have walked in by themselves.
The Assistant Noodle Master acknowledged his mistake. Shouldn't we now make a decision?
Due to Assistant Noodle Chef's fraudulent actions, he is disqualified in the noodle chef competition.
Moo Myeong is the new Noodle Master.
Thank you, everyone.
Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon.
He's completely alert now.
I thought I should let everyone know.
Inability to be flexible and having one-track mind... I clearly told you it's not a compliment.
I will study more, so that being inflexible and having one-track mind becomes a compliment.
Thank you for everything.
It won't due you any good to study more.
This is where it ends for you.
Assistant Noodle Chef, Lee Gi Baek
The Elder is awake...
shouldn't you go?
I should see you off. You took your valuable time to visit us.
I didn't come to see the noodles in this competition?
I came to see what kind of person you are.
But after watching you during this competition, there is something that bothers me.
I'm always sincere in front of noodles.
Until now and in the future.
You should be.
Oh, yeah... do you play ball, Noodle Master?
If you're speaking of golf, yes, I do play a bit.
Let's go together. I have to tell you something as we stroll on the greens.
- Please give me a call. - Alright then.
Oh, my goodness... our Noodle Master is completely up and running.
Is this dream or reality?
Not completely up and running, but he's speaking a bit.
Both his body and mind are very weak. We need to observe him more.
- Then, do we now serve two noodle masters? - What?
Gosh, seriously... it's hard enough to serve one master. How are we to serve two?
They should just do rock-paper-scissors and let one person have all the power. Why are you poking me?
Noodle Master, what do I do... I'm dead...
You should've told me!
He regained consciousness, but he's extremely weak.
The fortunate thing is that his cognitive ability is close to normal.
If you request to cancel his incompetent status, I'm sure they'll take care of it right away.
For awhile, he must have absolute rest.
Gathering here like this can be stressful for him.
Don't forget to keep strict visiting hours.
Excuse me.
Father...
Father... this is Gang Sook. Say something.
Father, why don't you call your daughter's name once?
Father...
Is that you, Gang Sook? Are you doing well?
How could I be doing well when you're bedridden?
Mi Ja.
Oppa...
Take care of Gang Sook for me.
Yes...
Are all the kitchen staff outside?
Yes.
I have something to say to them. Bring them in.
Come in.
Noodle Master... this is Jin Yeo. Kim Jin Yeo. Can you recognize me?
Why did you gain even more weight?
Geez, I'm all bones. What are you talking about?
Moon Bok...
You have aged plenty as well.
I'm already 50.
Won Sung. Are you still...
acting like a mute?
I'm a blabbermouth now.
Cheon Yeo... you still aren't married?
I wouldn't be called Cheon Yeo (virgin) if I'm married. I'd be a married woman (yu bu nyeo).
Jin Hak, are you still looking for an easy way out?
I've made up my mind now.
The kitchen is...
ruled by the Noodle Chef. Help the Noodle Chef and...
have fun and make noodles.
You think noodles are made by hands?
Noodles are... made with your heart.
Do you understand?
Yes.
This is my will.
To say this... I...
opened my eyes again.
What did you do to Grandfather?
Say it so I can understand.
Cho oh. I smelled it from the first day I arrived here.
Grandpa's mouth and Dong Bae's hands... Since I was new to the scent, I thought it was a medicine smell.
But earlier... I smelled it the most from you.
You fed it to Grandpa all this time, right? That's why he remained paralyzed.
Because Grandpa shouldn't get well again... that's why you fed him cho oh. You tried to kill him!
Elder was no different than a father to me.
He's the one who accepted me who had nothing into the Chi Meon Restaurant.
The one who made me his heir...
He's the one who gave me his precious daughter.
But you're saying I killed him?
You're saying I killed someone that's like a father to me?
Cho oh... yeah, it's poison. But it's also used as medicine.
It's very effective for stroke or paralysis. That's why I used it on him. To help him get up again.
So, he can knead dough like he used to...
and make noodles.
I want to be alone.
Nice acting. I almost fell for it.
You went to the Father's living quarters during the competition in secret, right? Did you feed him cho oh again?
I told you. I used it as medicine.
Father's paralysis and him unable to speak all this time...
It's all because of cho oh you fed him, yet you call it medicine?
Try to cover the sky with your palms and see if you can.
If you have this much time to talk to me, go visit Father. Don't regret it later.
From this moment on, don't lay a finger on my father.
You made him like this, so at least act humane and let him die in peace.
Do you understand?
Let's be careful. I told you.
You and I do best for each other if we just coexist just aware of one another.
Forget it! My father... don't ever touch him.
Then, I'll be a cautious like a good wife for the time being.
Born 1961, Seoul National University graduate. Birthplace: Seoul. Home: Gangnam, Seoul. Current activity, 4th Noodle Master of Goong Rak Won, ED of Goong Rak Foundation. Height 173cm, weight 67 kg
If I dig Kim Gil Do, Ha Jung Tae will appear. Looking for a robbery murder suspect in Seongbukdong. Reward 2 million won -> 3 million won. Address) Gangnam San 323-37
Address) Gangnam San 323-37
Detective Kim.
Yes, Prosecutor.
Find out current address of Gangnam San 323-37.
I'm sure it was a mountain before.
Prosecutor, Gangnam San 323-37 is currently Irwondong in Gangnam.
But do you know what's there now? Goong Rak Won.
The land Ha Jung Tae purchased is where Kim Gil Do's house used to be.
Goong Rak Won's site document lists Goong Rak Won as the owner.
But this red outlined area is owned by Ha Jung Tae.
He bought it twenty years ago.
That's right. He planned on building Goong Rak Won starting twenty years ago.
For the land that's not even 20 pyung, he bought 3,000 (9,917 square meters) more pyungs.
What do you think is the reason for him to be so attached to that land?
Ha Jung Tae and Kim Gil Do are one person.
I'm the new noodle chef, Moo Myeong. I'm sure you've heard what's been going on.
Please don't waver and do your best in your assigned positions.
First, for the empty position of assistant chef... I'll have the Potager take dual roles.
Excuse me? But...
Pleaes help us, Potager.
I don't deserve your bow.
Well, I do lack a lot, but I will give it my all!
Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon said the noodles are made by your hearts.
Also for me, I'll give my most sincere heart to lead this kitchen.
Alright then. We'll start with three palace pheasant buckwheat noodles.
Let's start.
Yes sir.
Don't you know the meat will become tough if you do that?
You hit the body once and legs twice.
I'm sorry, Noodle Chef.
I feel bad about what happened to Assistant Chef as well. But it's no one's fault. You don't need to feel guilty.
I need your help, Noodle Maker Kim Jin Hak.
Please take good care of me even though I'm lacking.
Thank you, Noodle Chef.
Gil Yong.
You're the noodle chef. You must be very happy, huh?
Yeo Gyeong is still investigating Goong Rak Won.
- What? - You said it's dangerous. Shouldn't you stop her?
Father... Father... Can you awaken?
- Da Hae... - Aigoo...
Oh, my gosh... Da Hae, Da Hae... why are you so desperate for her?
Talk to me, too.
Father, listen carefully to what I say.
Your share in Goong Rak Won... you must give it to me.
If we're not careful, everything will go to Ha Jung Tae. Do you understand?
Father, Father, please open your eyes.
The one who made you like this is Ha Jung Tae. We need to pay him back.
To pay him back, I must have the power!
Father, isn't that right?
Tell Lawyer Park to come.
I will.
Yeo Gyeong
If you're the first person to come to work and the last to leave, when will you sleep?
The laborer position isn't filled, so I should do the work since I'm the youngest.
I should hire a laborer quickly. Good job today.
You have the day off tomorrow. What are you doing?
Well, nothing special.
I want to have a small celebration. How about it?
Let me apologize first. I'm sorry for yesterday.
Was it because of cho oh?
I thought Grandpa was in danger. So...
It's okay. Rather than helping me out, you could've prevented a huge accident.
Where should we have the celebratory party at?
At Fish Noodles?
Where are you heading this late?
What? Oh, I have an appointment.
Aren't you taking it too far? It's dangerous riding a motorcycle at night.
Hop in.
You can go first. I'll catch up with you.
There's plenty of room here.
Do you want to come too?
It's alright.

What music do you listen to?
Anything. What about you?
Me too, anything.
Do you remember? I was going to get out through that window.
How could I forget? You left your scooter that day too.
Oh yeah, I did.
When I came to find my motorcycle, it was so chaotic, even the police came.
How could two friends be so identical to each other? No compromise and so stuffy.
Friend?
A woman prosecutor. She came by Goong Rak Won, too. Didn't you meet her?
What? You don't even know her number too. Are you guys really friends?
Yeo Gyeong is still investigating Goong Rak Won. You said it's dangerous. Shouldn't you stop her?
Here.
It looks so good!
Because it's made out of konjac, I don't have to worry about gaining weight. Also perfect as drinking food.
What is that?
Oh my gosh! Do you know how much I've been looking for this?
You had it this whole time? You bought a new one, right?
Smell it.
It's my scent!
Just eating can be a bit boring. Should we play the truth game?
The person who can't answer, they have to drink.
Okay, but I want to start first.
Goong Rak Won... why did you go in?
Why did you go into Goong Rak Won, Da Hae?
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Noodle Masters @ Viki
How do you get into the secret room?
Don't break the rules! It's my turn.
What else is inside the secret room besides a safe?
It's my turn.
Under the Noodle Master's desk, there is a button.
If you press it, the wall will rotate.
Rotate...
What did you do?
She's just drunk, don't think about weird things.
Don't do this again. Don't use people that have nothing to do with anything.
It's not like that.
Tae Ha!
Why are you like this? What are you doing right now?
Nice scent. Tae Ha's scent.
Why did you drink when you can't even take it...
I can go by myself.
That's right. I should take a picture.
I have to take whatever pictures I can and report back.
Report to whom?
Aye... What picture...
I like the smell. I really like it.
Yeo Gyeong
I'm sorry for calling you out. Have a seat.
No. I came because I've something to say too. Once I finished saying it, I'm going to leave.
You... I know you're targeting the Noodle Master and I know that no one can stop you.
So I made up my mind. I will stop worrying and trying to talk you out of it.
Yeo Gyeong...-Listen some more, I'm not done talking yet.
The death of my parents...is related to the Noodle Master.
is also connected to the Noodle Master.
I'll track it down to the end and reveal it.
So, you and I are facing the same enemy.
I'll get to the conclusion. There's only one way to get you and Tae Ha out of Goong Rak Won.
Destroy the Noodle Master.
Let's join forces.
We'll crush that monster and go back to the old times.
You stay out. I can do it alone.
What can you do alone? Just because you became the Noodle Chef, can you handle him?
I can't see you getting hurt. I don't want to be worried about you getting hurt.
So, stay out. That monster, you can't handle him.
Have you...killed someone?
I did.
I killed someone. Yet I stood by and watched Tae Ha take the blame.
I'm a murderer. But I walk around as a prosecutor as if nothing ever happened.
Monster? Who is the monster?
I... Can you say I'm not the monster?
Listen well. Once I'm done dealing with this, I'm stepping down as a prosecutor.
I'll put Tae Ha back in his place and I'll repay for the crime myself. So...
So... you...
don't you run away from me.
Let go. Let go!
Why do you think I ignored you in the first place? Because I know you'd jump in for me without thinking it through!
That's why I did it, Yeo Gyeong. That's why.
Let's go together. Now, let's not run away.
But let's make this clear. I'll go first and you come after me. Never step ahead alone.
If you can't make that promise, then we can't do this together.
I promise.
There's a secret room inside the Noodle Master's office.
He launders the money there and I found out a way to get in there. I'll get in there soon.
Find out enough to issue a search and seizure warrant.
I need concrete evidence. Once I get started, I'll strangle the Goong Rak Foundation as well.
Go in. You must be busy.
Take care.
It's an important day for you.
Take Senator So's rope and fly away. Don't forget about me later on.
The new prosecutor... was it Prosecutor Chae Yeo Gyeong? Is she still stuck on that case?
For now, I tied her hands and feet. She'll calm down soon.
Good shot!
Do you play sports?
Thank you!
Your distance improved a whole lot!
Our Noodle Master put too much power into the swing.
Prosecutor Ahn, go to the restroom for a minute.
Excuse me? I went a little earlier.
Go again then.
Yes!
I heard from politician Choi.
I want to invest some money as well.
If you take my money, there is one big advantage and one small disadvantage.
If my money is involved, you will be untouchable.
Isn't that a big advantage?
Then what's the small downside?
I heard it takes about a year to launder the money?
I'm impatient, so I can't wait that long.
You have to give it back in three months.
That's the small downside.
That's realistically impossible...
Make the impossible happen.
It's a saying for a reason.
Now, now... let's finish the second half of our game.
I, Go Dae Cheon...
Under my name...
Did he make many changes to his will?
It seems like he revised it completely.
My name...-Right now, it's hard for him to answer any kind of question.
- Lawyer Park...-I'm sorry.
I must carry out the duty of keeping my client's confidences. Alright then.
Lawyer Park.
Noodle Master.
What brings you here?
Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon asked me to come.
For what matter?
On revising his will.
Is that so?
Then, I'll take my leave.
Let's go out.-Why?
I'm not done here.
- You have no sense. Hurry up and come out. - You and your temper...
What are you doing?
You scared me.
Are you okay?
Of course, I'm okay.
That's a relief.
I... About yesterday, I was drunk, so
I don't remember anything. Nothing happened right?
Nothing happened.
Right? Of course.
Ah! The Noodle Master asks you to meet him in 30 minutes at the living quarters.
Please go on time.
Noodle Master? Why me?
I don't know. Goodbye then.
Aigoo...did I wake you?
I'm sorry.
I was going to leave quietly.
What is it?
I asked you to correct the wrong.
But you ruined it even more.
So, I came to correct the wrong myself this time.
Of course my house...
would be left to you.
Is that why you called lawyer Park?
If you were going to hand that house over to me,
then why did you leave me out and called lawyer Park?
Why?
Th-That...Why do you have that?
Well... Why would I have this?
Now...
It should be going to Da Hae.
Soon, Da Hae will come here.
You two should have a nice talk.
Gil Do...
Kim Gil Do!
No...
This isn't it...
Is anyone there?
Follow me!
Myeong, step back.
Grandfather, are you okay?
This isn't...
Grandfather! Grandfather!-This...
This... Why is this here?
This... Is this yours, Grandfather?
I... I...
You killed my mother, Grandfather?
Tell me! Is it true that you killed Mother, Grandfther?
Here... Someone help me!
Grandfather, no! Don't die!
You can't die! Grandfather!
Grandfather, tell me why you killed my mother!
I'm... sorry...
Don't die, Grandfather.
Grandfather! No!
Grandfather!

Your father-in-law...
passed away.
Thank you.
For telling me now.
Do you know how I succeeded? Rest in peace, Noodle Master Go Dae Cheon
It's because I don't have friends.
Don't come in here again.
The Noodle Master owns 50% of the shares overnight.
Suffocating Ha Jung Tae... I'd like to see that, too.
That doesn't mean that I'm forgiving you.
As it doesn't change the fact that you abandoned me.
Tell me. Why did you betray me?
