[Episode 12]
Subtitles by DramaFever
When you are faced with a beast
don't let him know your intentions.
If you show your ambitions
he will use them against you.
If you show your weakness, he will linger onto that weakness.
Slowly.
Don't attack him.
Hide the fact
that you know him.
Act as if you've never met before.
You must hide your claws.
That's how one beast, fights against another beast.
I asked to see Master Ha.
Who are you?
I'm his bodyguard.
Why are you here?
I have a simple question for him regarding our investigation.
He doesn't need to hide.
He's in an important meeting.
He has no reason to hide.
Bring him here now.
Do you have a warrant?
If you're not carrying a subpoena, you won't be able to see him.
I won't bring him in here.
You're interfering with the state of our business right now.
Please leave.
You said you found a good job, one that you were enjoying.
You said you wanted to make money
and not allow your family to suffer.
Is this why you told me
to bury the files and close the case?
So you could go work at Goong Rak Won?
So you could run errands for Master Ha?
That was why?
Tell me.
Why are you here?
Why are you next to a man, who you, yourself, called dangerous?
- Chae Yeo Kyung. - Park Tae Ha!
What are you doing? Why are you lying?
You won't believe me, no matter what I say right now.
I had my reasons for entering Goong Rak Won.
And now I can't leave.
So what's that reason?
Why can't you tell me what's keeping you here?
You won't be able to handle it.
He's not... somebody you can face alone.
Sometimes you need to fight, even if you know it's a losing battle.
It's not just about losing. You could die!
Thanks for the warning.
Don't come back here again.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Tae Ha.
You've...
always done everything I've wanted.
Let me ask you for one last favor.
Get out of that place.
I didn't do things because you wanted them.
I was paying back my debt.
The debt my parents owed to your parents.
I thought I paid you back in full.
But you think I still owe you?
Yeah.
That debt.
You still owe me, you owe me a ton.
So pay me back. I need to get repaid!
Master Ha got to where he is now
by being a criminal, by committing crimes.
If you stay by his side, you could end up just the same.
I haven't done anything wrong.
You know that better than I do.
Go.
I hope we won't have to see each other like this again.
If this is how you're going to leave...
we won't be friends anymore.
If I...
skip even one meal, I get hungry.
It's hard...
for me to hold my breath, even for a minute.
But it's...
bearable, not seeing a friend
for six years.
Friends...
aren't as important as I thought.
Go.
I heard that you've been wanting to see me.
You're powerful enough to move the country.
I've always respected you.
No.
If the country is a big airplane
I'm nothing but a tiny little screw.
But, Master Ha.
You look very familiar.
Have we met before?
It's my first time meeting you.
Really?
I'm sure that I've seen you somewhere before.
I don't like to beat around the bush.
People who want to meet with me, all have a reason for it.
And I meet with them, because I have my own reasons.
All I hope
is that I can be a small help to you
in running the country--
Do you know what the character for noodles means in Chinese?
It means having a grasp on water.
Both politics and noodles need their own grasp on water.
But
do you think it's possible to do that with hands that are held open?
Water will seep out between the fingers.
You need to close up your fingers, and clench your hands small and tight
in order
to be able to do any of that.
That's very touching.
I hope that
I will be able to do that myself.
I'm getting hungry.
Hey, will you get me a bowl of noodles?
What would you like?
Well, it's a happy day.
Get me some feast noodles.
I'll get them ready for you.
I've enjoyed my dinner.
I hope we'll be able to meet more often.
I heard you're holding a competition to choose your new head chef.
I'll see you then.
I want to see how you run the competition.
Will that be all right?
It would be my pleasure.
The...
only free day that I have is the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?
That's so sudden. We need some time to prepare.
You've never taken a test?
Cramming for a test is useless.
You should take the exam with the skills you already have.
It works for me.
Although I'm not sure if it works for Master Ha.
We'll hold the competition the day after tomorrow.
Such an important event, should be carried out fairly.
You can fall instantly
if you use trickery or deceit to seat the man of your choice.
It's your job to assure the competition is carried out fair and square, right?
Of course.
Then I'll head out.
See you then.
Travel safely.
Don't use trickery or deceit during the competition...
I thought the senator became your spokesperson.
No way.
Why would he do that for me?
I just wanted to meet him, but he seems so demanding.
This is not the picture I wanted.
You can erase it, and draw again.
Or just fix up the existing picture.
I'm sure that you'll be able to draw the picture you want.
It's not the picture you want?
Stand by my side.
Only enemies
stand in front of me.
If you stand before me
I may step all over you, without mercy.
No.
I'm not foolish enough to stand up to you.
I'll have to keep my eye on you.
We will be holding a competition to pick the new head chef tomorrow.
We'll do it at ten, after we close the restaurant.
The judges
will be Madame Seol, Madame Go, and myself.
It will be a blind test.
Please tell them the noodle dish that they will be making.
You will be making
herbal noodles.
You will have to keep the flavor sharp, but eliminate the bitterness.
It's very hard to come up with a good flavor.
If you can't create the perfect harmony of noodles, broth, and garnish
it won't even be edible.
There's no set way to make the dish
so I think that it's best to use this for the competition.
But, you must use at least five different herbs.
Please choose one assistant each.
I choose Kim Ji Rak.
I choose Kim Da Hae.
Please speak up, if you have any objections or any questions.
If you don't have any, you may go.
Is there anything else you want to say?
No, I'm happy with... everything.
Now, we just have to carry it out fairly.
Don't worry about that.
I'll be watching over the entire process.
Nothing unfair will arise.
But Master Ha.
You seem very familiar.
Have we met before?
You can't go in.
What's going on?
Wait for me here.
I...
can't even sleep, afraid that you'll hurt him.
You've already kidnapped him. You're capable of worse.
It's meaningless?
If you were a father... No...
No, if you were a human being...
you wouldn't say that.
Don't worry about anything.
I'll watch over the entire process.
Madame Go.
Who are you?
I'm Master Ha's bodyguard.
Oh... You're the new director?
I'm not the director, yet.
You're very handsome.
Don't get scared, I won't bite you.
Is Master Ha in there?
He's not.
You said you're his guard.
How are you guarding him from here?
He told me to wait here.
Okay, go on your way.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
I came to get my stuff.
I'll find it for you.
You know what I'm looking for?
Move.
He opened his eyes?
Are you sure?
Get out.
Are you going to follow me around like a little puppy?
Don't let me bother you.
Strange.
You have the eyes of a rabbit
but you've become a snake.
Oh, geez, I can't believe how forgetful I am...
Where did I put this thing?
Father...
Have you returned to us?
You should have given me clues that you would be coming back.
You scared me.
Who else knows about this?
Your daughter?
Da Hae?
Tell me.
I know you opened your eyes before.
Why do you do this to me now?
You did this when I was moving Goong Rak Won to Gangnam too.
Why do you always get in my way?
You really can't stand to see me get my way?
Is that it?
Open your eyes!
Why is this remote control here when nobody is around?
So it really exists.
Master Ha.
What do you think you are doing?
You don't have eyes?
Father is all skin and bones.
I'm trying to give him a massage.
What's this?
It looks like a bruise.
You strangled him.
I saw it with my own eyes!
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
There's nothing wrong with me, you're the one playing dumb!
You call yourself a human?
How can a human being do this?
What the hell is wrong with you?
I am so sick
of you accusing me of things.
Shut up!
Wait.
You saw what?
I was here all alone.
Dad.
Dad!
Dad.
Dad...
He opened his eyes?
Dae Chun.
How is he?
He keeps going in and out of consciousness.
What if he never comes back?
Never.
He's strong-willed.
I'm sure that he'll wake up.
It's almost a miracle that he regained consciousness.
But his vitals aren't great right now.
And he's under severe stress.
The strangest part is that he seems to be...
addicted to some kind of nerve medicine.
What do you mean?
He has symptoms of a very intense paralysis.
Nothing has shown up on the tests
but I'm fairly certain
that he's addicted to something.
Then...
what should we do?
You should hospitalize him.
Madame Go.
I won't hospitalize him.
If we hospitalize him
I can't stay by his side.
If I'm not around
my father could pass away.
Until he regains his health
I'm going to sleep and eat in here.
If that's how you feel, I will have to respect that.
But I will
get a nurse for emergencies
so try not to worry yourself too much.
Okay, then.
Please step outside of the room.
I have something to say to him.
Dad.
I found evidence that we can use
to get rid of Ha Jung Tae.
He won't be able to get out of it this time.
Burn this.
You don't know anything.
You didn't see anything.
Do you understand?
Yes, Detective Park? It's me.
Can you come here quickly?
It's not a hit-and-run.
It's very urgent.
Yes.
Can you keep guard here?
Okay.
Who gave you permission to let her come inside?
You don't know that nobody is allowed in my room?
I have to tell you that?
I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry." "It was my fault."
I hate those words more than anything.
How many times do I have to tell you?
It's too late to do anything.
It's not like you can undo the contract.
Shocked again?
I guess it...
would be weird if you weren't shocked.
No?
What are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
- Honey. - Honey?
A word like that exists?
It's been so long, I forgot it existed.
Ha Jung Tae.
Do you know why I came here?
I came here to kill you.
Detective Park.
What happens if you install hidden cameras without permission?
It's a criminal offense against privacy.
It's a felony. A criminal offense, sir.
Watch carefully.
And see what he's been up to.
You did this?
If you mean changing the channels, then yes.
I see you picked a good man.
Wow, you went this far...
Should we look into it further?
It's okay.
They've made me into the psycho.
Pardon us.
Before...
Before, that was my fault, sir.
Even if I were you, I would have been mad.
From now on, I won't allow anyone to enter this office.
How did you change it?
While I was in prison, I spent my time learning about IT.
I didn't know it would end up being of use.
Good job.
Get out.
Director Park.
Use up all the money in that wallet by today.
- What? - Spend it all.
There were no surveillance cameras near Deputy Manager Choi's house.
There is one across the street, but it's broken.
You said that he fell down the stairs.
According to the emergency squad staff
right here, there was a pool of blood.
Any dashboard cameras?
It's a residential parking area.
I'm sure that there was a car with a dashboard camera.
Please get the owner of the car to cooperate.
Yes.
Once a day
dilute five grams of this with water
and feed it to him. No more, no less.
Don't eat it.
If you eat it, you won't even feel your body burning up.
Hey! Liar Go!
You're here?
Stop talking to me.
If Madame Go finds out, she'll give you the look again.
How can she be so mean to you, when your last name is Go too?
Do you want this noodle-maker to make you some noodles?
You would have to pay me to eat your noodles.
Noodle-maker?
Wow! That's great!
Congratulations!
Why are you jumping all over me?
Congratulations!
If you become a master...
Get out of here!
I'm going.
Hey... Hey!
You...
It's been a while.
Why? Why not hide forever?
You keep delivering vegetables here.
We were going to run into each other sooner or later.
It's just more convenient for me to pick the place and time.
I can't stand this guy...
Hey. Do you know how hard and long I looked for you?
Any time an unclaimed body was posted
I traveled across the country looking to see if it was you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Is there a beehive at Goong Rak Won?
Why is everyone buzzing around here?
We all have our reasons.
The same way you come here to deliver vegetables.
You are the one who made me deliver to this place!
You made me work at a vegetable store that vends to Goong Rak Won!
How is Yeo Kyung?
Oh... Yeo Kyung?
Do you even think about her?
You... shouldn't be like that.
Yeo Kyung's heart has been shattered into tiny pieces.
Don't tell her that you saw me.
She'll just hurt more.
It's better for everyone to just go on living like this.
Let's do that, okay?
Go on living like we never met?
The day you disappeared, after you got stabbed
how do you think Yeo Kyung's has lived since that day?
You think that she's been able to live a single comfortable day?
I'm doing this because I know that!
If she finds out that I'm here, she'll end up in danger too!
Don't let Yeo Kyung know, okay?
You tell her yourself.
If you don't have the guts to face her, then at least call her.
Do you get it?
[Yeo Kyung]
Damn it.
Well? Have you found anything?
No...
Geez, nothing was caught on camera.
Damn.
That's the only evidence we would have had.
What do we do now?
We'll investigate the site.
There could be a witness.
Okay, I understand.
[Delete File]
[Yes]
[Senator So Tae Sup]
Yes, sir?
Did you wait long?
No, sir. It was nice, getting some fresh air.
Judging by your face, it looks like you've been going through some troubles.
I know it's hard to be in charge of a special case like this.
I know.
At times, you might hit a wall.
And two types of people emerge from hitting that wall.
The ones who give up.
And the ones who contemplate whether to break that wall or to climb over it.
You are the latter.
That's why I like you.
I may collapse in front of that wall.
But I'll never give up.
Do...
you know Kim Gil Do?
I've never heard that name before.
Look into him.
You'll find something interesting.
From 1955 to 1966, there were
461 people registered in our system under that name.
Let's narrow down that number.
Cut out those with acquitted prosecution, those with criminal records
as well as those missing, and those wanted by the police.
1989.
1995.
I'm... sorry for asking, Prosecutor.
Who is Kim Gil Do? Is--
Do we have electronic files registered before 1995?
I don't think the tags will be precise.
Even if we see it here, we'll need to verify the files at the branch offices.
You and I can take a few days to go around to the branch offices.
Please file them aside on the server, first.
Okay.
Hang on, we're almost done with this.
You left ready to fight.
Why do you look so down now?
How is Dad doing?
He's sleeping.
He won't open his eyes for me.
Dad, oh, my...
I'm so disappointed.
Why didn't you call out my name
when you opened your eyes?
Madame Seol, can I ask you for a favor?
Can we postpone the competition
until Dad regains consciousness?
When will that be?
I don't know when that will be.
Do you know?
Are you going to be like this?
You are the one who is oblivious to this situation.
This isn't the time to be greedy. This is the time to make a choice.
Will it be
me or Master Ha?
Madame Seol!
- Dad. - Dae Chun.
Dad.
Master Go!
Da... Dad...
It's me, Gang Sook.
I'm listening. Go ahead, talk!
Da... Da Hae...
What?
Da...
Hae...
Da Hae?
Madame Go.
Madame Seol.
Sit down.
Grandpa.
Da Hae is here.
Is there something you want to say?
What is it?
You want me to leave?
We'll be outside.
Let's go.
Grandpa. Speak slowly.
I'll wait, so you don't need to push yourself too hard.
Cho...
What?
Cho...
Cho, what?
Here! Come here! Help!
Dae Chun.
Dad. Dad!
Dae Chun.
It's a light convulsion.
He needs to rest right now.
What did Dad say?
He was about to say something, but he started convulsing.
You mean that?
Yes, Madame Go.
Stop it, she has no reason to lie.
I'm just curious.
You should get inside.
I'll go, Madame Go.
Okay, see you.
Da Hae.
It seems like Dad will only speak to you.
He really didn't say anything?
You can tell me.
No.
You need to tell me.
How many times do I have to say
that he didn't say anything?
There are times in life when people get an inexplicable feeling.
People say, "I have a feeling".
That's how I feel right now.
I have a feeling that you are hiding something.
And I'm wondering about
what you have to do with the master.
You should stop.
I'm sick and tired of you suspecting everyone.
Suspicions don't disappear until they have been checked on.
I'm sure that day will come soon.
If I find out
that my feelings were right, then...
I will get rid of you.
I warned you before.
This is war.
There's nothing strange about people dying during a war.
Do you know why people take sides and choose who they follow?
To survive.
They know that they can't make it on their own.
I'm sure that the time will come when you have to choose.
So...
choose wisely.
Master Go Dae Chan has woken up
and he even opened his mouth.
This is an unexpected factor.
That's what I hate the most.
Unexpected.
Impossible to predict, and you don't know how it will play out.
Then...
Madame Go will try to postpone the competition.
I stopped her for now.
But...
I'm sure Ha Jung Tae will want to speed it up
before Master Go wakes up.
But there's another unexpected factor.
Kim Da Hae.
There's something going on with her and Master Go.
And with Master Ha too.
I plugged her in here, but I'm suspicious of whether she's actually on my side.
I'll approach her--
Focus not on what she knows
but on what she's hiding. That will be quicker.
Sure.
One more thing.
What will you do after you become the head chef?
I'll go on TV with Master Ha.
I'm going to let everyone know, on TV, what kind of a man he really is.
I'll kick him out of his position, and then I'll think about my next step.
Your next goal is the foundation, then?
I'm sure that place is littered with his corruption.
Good. I don't even care if you get rid of the foundation altogether.
I...
just want Goong Rak Won.
Cho...
You know that the competition is tomorrow, right?
Good luck.
I chose you as my assistant.
What?
Who gave you permission?
I'm busy getting ready for the initiation ceremony!
I can't be your assistant!
I need your support.
Herbal noodles can't be successful without the help of your nose.
I'll help you with the initiation ceremony then.
You know you'll get demoted
if you can't make every type of noodle, right?
Kim Ji Dan got demoted after the second order.
She couldn't make calamari noodles.
I'll teach you the hard way to make noodles.
What do you say?
Well, not a bad deal.
Then, what should I do first?
Sleep well.
So you're in your best condition.
What are you doing?
Huh?
Why are you sticking your neck out, like a tortoise without a shell?
I wasn't.
Stop.
I haven't seen you around. Where do you work?
- I'm Director Park Tae Ha. - Director?
What director?
I work for Master Ha.
Oh, my... You should have said that earlier!
Who are you looking for?
It's nothing.
Tae Ha?
I guess she found you.
She found you!
Nobody ever asks me out on dates...
Lucky you.
You get to date a co-worker.
Don't worry about her. That's how she is.
What's going on?
Oh...
Thanks, for the other day.
What are you doing when you're done?
Are you asking me out on a date?
No, I... just wanted to know what you were doing.
I was just curious.
What are you doing?
I'm just going to eat, rest, and sleep.
Come on, seriously... Just eat with him!
I feel so bad for him.
Chan!
I'm sorry, but I need to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
What competition are you talking about?
To choose the head chef.
The sous-chef and Moo Myung will be facing off against each other.
I'm Moo Myung's assistant, so I can't hang out today.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
How's your hand?
It's fine.
Did you spend all the money?
They say you use money like you use water.
That's how easy it is to spend money.
It's not easy, spending someone else's money.
It's even easier.
I've never done it, so I'm not sure, sir.
I... don't like stubborn people.
Even worse if they're inflexible and slow too.
I'm sorry.
But it's not always bad.
Since it means that they're honest.
That's a compliment.
Thank you.
This is an important time.
I won't allow for any small mistakes, or unexpected factors.
Are you talking about the competition?
I don't like that noodle-master kid.
He keeps showing me his teeth
and they're very sharp.
It won't be easy to embrace him, or discard him.
He's the opposite of you.
I'll have to find out some background information on him.
Keep an eye on him, and report to me if you see anything suspicious.
Yes, sir.
Welcome, Senator So.
I hope I'm not being intrusive.
No, not at all.
Please come in.
Smell this broth.
Tell me the ingredients.
Astragalus, acanthopanax, straw roots.
Gogi, jujube.
Silver vine leaves?
Wow! Your sense of smell is amazing.
At first...
it smells like pureed Jerusalem artichokes.
And it has the scent of astragalus.
And at the end it smells bitter.
Do you know what herb that is?
I don't have your sense of smell.
Yeah. Who could possibly know if I kept describing it like this?
Why do you look so curious?
I smelled that herbal scent on three different people.
It's not a common scent.
Isn't that weird?
Which people?
We'll start the competition.
The dish to be cooked, and the rules were previously explained.
Gifting us with his presence today, is Senator So Tae Sup.
I look forward to tasting your herbal noodles
which will be fitting, only of our Goong Rak Won standard.
Okay. You may begin.
So this is what I said.
You are dumb, ugly, and all you do well is lie.
What are you going to do when you grow up?
My daughter said she wants to be a politician.
She's the current prime minister.
Yeah.
There are a lot like that out there.
Who would have known that you would become a politician?
Your major in school was history too.
Yeah...
Madame Go majored in fashion design
and now she's running Goong Rak Won.
With your beauty, you might have been better suited as a model.
Master Ha.
How can I win the heart of a woman as beautiful as she is?
It just happened that way...
Is something bothering you?
No, I'm fine.
I'm curious about something.
I heard that you graduated from Seoul University.
How did you manage to study, date
and learn to make noodles all at the same time?
I never did all three at the same time.
You can take out the dating part.
We were pretty much set up.
Oh, really?
I need to excuse myself.
Why did you choose to use the five colored rice noodles?
Those were the only kinds of noodles that my mother ever made for me.
What's that?
Both medicine and poison.
It'll be added to the broth at the end.
Both medicine and poison?
A little bit will be beneficial to your health
but a lot will become poisonous.
I wanted to show this man
who once used this as poison
that it can also be used as medicine.
What's the name... of this herb?
Cho.
The roots of the monkshood flower.
It was used as a means to poison people during the Joseon Era.
Grandpa!
[Seongbuk Murder Case]
Yes, Detective Kim?
I think I found something on Kim Gil Do.
I'll fax it over to you.
Yes, please.
I don't want to do this either.
But it'll be even worse
if I have to go back to my past.
Gil Do...
Stop.
[Master: God Of Noodles]
