Episode 17
Mr. Ha Jung Tae.
You told me that this room was designed so one could kill inside of it, right?
So tell me, bastard.
Did you know that you were going to die in this room too?
Stupid fool...
You should have just kept rotting away in your cell for a few more years.
Why are you making this into such a big deal?
You made things this way. I didn't create this shit storm.
You're very strong.
Isn't that why you chose me?
The reason I chose you, was because you can't kill people.
You couldn't kill Chief Hwang, so the task fell into my hands.
That's why I chose you.
Because no matter what I do to you...
you won't kill me.
You can never kill me, Do Kkoo.
Shut your damn mouth, you son of a bitch!
You're too affectionate.
I dare you, laugh one more time.
You bastard!
Master Ha.
How did it go?
I'll see you there then.
Ms. Da Hae.
What happened to your face?
Did you get into a fight?
I'm fine.
Have you
heard from Do Kkoo?
No, well, can you get in touch with him for me?
What exactly is going on?
Before I explain, can you call him? Please.
All right.
I can't get in touch with him.
Okay, then.
Mr. Tae Ha, something's going on, right?
Tell me.
I'll tell you later. I will.
Uncle Do Kkoo?
Are you causing trouble again? What happened to Mr. Tae Ha's face?
Is Tae Ha with you right now?
Give him the phone.
Where is Master Ha?
Why are you asking me that? Aren't you his lapdog?
I asked you where he is.
Wow... You're already Master Ha's loyal crony? That didn't take too long.
You think he's going to come apart at the seams
because I hit him a few times?
Do you think that little of me?
Tae Ha.
It's over for Master Ha.
Stop protecting him
I will apologize for sending you to him.
That is, indeed
my fault.
What did you do?
Did you...
What do you mean, "What did you do?"
A person should put garbage in a garbage can, right?
I beat the shit out of him, and locked him up in an abandoned warehouse.
Go find him if you want.
Don't worry about it. It's nothing.
Mr. Tae Ha!
I didn't see any glaring issues, based on your test results.
It's highly likely that your symptoms are due to trauma.
It's similar to how dementia affects a person's sense of taste too.
Have there been recent situations that have aroused a great deal of stress?
When you burn a dragonfly, they make a crackling noise.
No.
Nothing in particular.
How's your side? Do you still feel that stabbing pain?
Yes, occasionally.
Doctor...
Will I be able
to get my sense of taste back?
I can't make you any guarantees right now.
First, let's try some psychological treatments.
I think that would be the best for you.
Master Ha!
Are you all right?
He should have at least wiped off the ink if he wanted to make me stamp something.
Are you really all right?
No, I'm not all right.
Do Kkoo never intended on killing me.
He just needed my thumb to stamp on some document.
Yes, sir?
Are you talking about someone losing their sense of taste?
Oh... yes. I understand.
That's plan is fine. Let's give it a try.
Then, I'll be heading out.
Whisper, whisper...
I wonder, just what interesting things, you could have been discussing.
He'll be the master soon. There are lots of things for us to be discussing.
Soon?
When will you begin taking over the Goong Rak Foundation?
I'm not sure. Maybe the day after tomorrow?
Why are you dragging your feet? Why not just go and do it already?
Master Ha is angry enough right now.
I don't want to start a fight with him.
Master, my ass...
He's not a master anymore.
Let's stop talking about boring things already.
Now, shall we discuss how we'll manage Goong Rak Won and the foundation?
I offer lots of professional support for Goong Rak Won, and you would offer
a bit of help to the Foundation, since you take care of the accounting.
I guess you just can't give it up.
Listen to me.
You just focus on...
researching historic noodles, or whatever it is that you do.
Why are you so dead-set on having a part of Goong Rak Won for yourself?
Wow... you sure are great at putting things nicely.
I'm saying this because you do a crappy job of managing this place!
Mind your own business already! Geez, what's wrong with you?
Keep acting like this, I dare you...
I'll make you pay every time that you eat noodles here.
You--
is your father.
Ms. Da Hae.
I came because I have something to talk to you about.
And it's also my day off.
Have a seat.
What you said to me about my dad...
About Master Ha, killing your parents...
I keep replaying those words in my head, over and over.
We've dismissed him. So are you done getting your revenge?
- Or... - No, it's not over.
I'm going to take everything your father has, away from him.
And then, I'll reclaim my father's life, which your father stole from him.
The royal court-style quail buckwheat noodle recipe
is one that my father perfected, that your father stole from him.
I'm going to expose everything that he's done to the world
and give him exactly what he deserves.
In order for my revenge to be complete, I have to do all of those things.
I can't believe you.
What do you mean, he stole the recipe?
I'll show you.
No...
I'll prove it to you.
Try it.
I'm sure that it's only going to taste a tiny bit different.
You're right.
Can you imagine the ingredients, just by tasting it?
That's to be expected.
That's because there are some ingredients in there with no flavor or smell.
Are you talking about...
water-shield?
That's right. Water-shield.
That's the secret behind my father's method.
This is the technique that produces that tiny little difference.
Why...
are you teaching me this?
Because
that's the only way I can prove to you
that this recipe, was originally crafted by my father.
So it's true then
that your father was the original creator of this recipe.
It really is true.
Thank you for that.
He had a power of attorney document with your seal on it.
We had no choice but to oblige him.
Do Kkoo...
Do prosecutor's cars come with wings? They're so damn fast.
What about the confidential document?
You have to get my indictment suspended
and choose not to prosecute me for this.
For us to do business, you have to prove you destroyed any evidence tied to me.
If I'm going to do that, I have to visit the prosecutor's office.
And, here are the materials.
Do with them, as you please.
Here.
Happy now?
Have you washed your hands clean of all of this, then?
I've dipped my toes into this mess. I should stick around to the end, right?
Ms. Prosecutor.
I do feel as though things are moving a bit too quickly.
You should slow down a little bit.
There's plenty of crazy bastards in this world.
But the craziest of the lot is definitely Ha Jung Tae.
You should worry more about yourself.
At the very least, I can take care of myself.
Ha Jung Tae...
Are you going to destroy him?
I will, for certain.
Can I add one more condition to our agreement?
Ha Jung Tae has a guy working for him...
Park Tae Ha. He's his chief guy.
He doesn't know anything about this.
If he does
get caught up in this...
please go easy on him.
And just how do you know Chief Park?
He's my friend's son.
That friend's name...
is Park Moo Taek, right?
Prosecutor. How do you know that?
Park Moo Taek...
killed my parents.
What? Am I being weird?
No, sir.
Typically, I would be so angry that I would lose my mind completely.
But there isn't much that I can do about spilled milk.
I'd rather focus my attention on something else.
How do I get revenge?
How many times worse should I make my revenge?
I have lost something that I must never have lost.
And I must get it back, no matter what that takes.
The world is such a scary place.
How did this end up happening?
I have something that I want to ask you.
Is it true that Park Moo Taek was one of Master Ha's subordinates?
Yes, that's true.
I should have kept him from doing that, back then.
I should have prevented him from going, somehow.
Please tell me what you know. Everything. Every single detail.
I was the one who was first asked to carry out the act.
And I refused.
I don't have it in me to kill anybody.
So...
Master Ha gave drugs to Moo Taek.
He gave him a knife too.
Then he sent him after Professor Chae Il Hwan.
Moo Taek was such a kind person, but his mind went blank from the drugs.
And he ended up being a killer.
And if I hadn't called him then, he would've killed you too.
Wait... a minute.
What are you talking about?
Master Ha said that he was the one who called him.
He even had my father's cell phone number memorized!
Master Ha really worked hard
to manipulate you.
Your father's phone number...
I remember it too.
017-2387-3937.
Geez...
Prosecutor...
It looks like I owe you one too, Prosecutor.
If you ever need me
set my number on speed dial. Call me anytime you need me.
I'll come running to you, wherever I am.
Call everyone.
I have something to tell them--
Prosecutor.
The coffee is quite good.
Detective Kim.
Our guest from this morning is still here, correct?
Oh, yes, Prosecutor.
Have them on standby.
I'll interrogate them as soon as I'm finished speaking to Master Ha.
Yes, I understand.
You come here often.
Do you think that the Prosecutor's office is the neighborhood cafe, or something?
Don't be so hard on me.
I was really debating on whether or not I should come here.
Why did you lose Do Kkoo?
Master Ha, you're not my supervisor.
I don't need to report any details to you.
Let me ask you this one more time. Why did you let Do Kkoo go?
I saw that you cleared Do Kkoo of all charges.
I'm sure you two made a deal. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Are you seriously suggesting that I let him go on purpose?
You have quite a vivid imagination.
This is why people need insurance.
When it's exposed that you accepted a bribe, you'll lose your job.
And if you lose your position, you'll be nothing. An ordinary citizen.
You must decide between Senator So and I.
If you try to play both sides, you might just get torn apart.
I've never been on either of your sides, so I'll be just fine.
If you reveal the fact that I accepted a bribe, you won't be safe either.
Also, I've been prepared to get fired for a long time now.
I have nothing to lose. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
You can't win against me, Master Ha, when you have so much to lose.
Our futures...
they don't... look too bright.
You and I are running head-on, at top speed, right towards each other.
It's only obvious that nobody's ending will be happy.
Let me give you a warning.
Do you know what happens if Senator So learns you have the classified document?
I suggest you make a wise decision.
There are others who have their knives pointed at you.
Let me tell you something too.
Only one person
will be stabbed in the heart by my knife.
Wait.
Are you ready?
Shall we go somewhere for a bit?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I've never seen this person in my life.
Aren't you trying to close this case by using Senator Choi's aide?
It's obvious what you're doing here. So why are you denying it?
You said that he came by six times, and gave you money three times, correct?
Yes... that's right.
Are you trying to accuse me of things without having any actual evidence?
If we had evidence, we would have already arrested you.
That's why we're trying to see if the stories align.
We'll continue interrogating you two, so be prepared.
And don't even dream of leaving the country.
You're in deep now, Master Ha.
Try and get away, if you can.
Prosecutor An. Let's meet.
Senator Choi ran into a door, right? So what did you run into, Master Ha?
A flight of stairs? A table?
All right.
Hey... come on now.
Why did you call me out if you weren't drinking?
I've shoved so much damn money down your throat.
For you to go over and be Senator So's lapdog?
You saw...
what happened to Senator Choi
after he took my bribes, and betrayed me.
Why did you lift Prosecutor Chae's suspension?
Why is she still being allowed to run free?
Look here, sir.
Listen, Mr. I-Own-A-Noodle-Shop.
You really suck at taking hints, don't you?
I treated you nicely because you went to the same school as the Director.
Do all prosecutors look like idiots to you, or something?
Do you need a good slap in the face
for you to able to face reality?
Stop it with your high-and-mighty act
and just disappear when it's obvious that the situation is bad--
If someone has fed you well
you should have manners, and say thank you.
You've had your fill, from the palm of my damn hand
and then you act all superior, which is why things like this happen.
This is what you said about Chae Il Hwan.
"How could I ever do anything to the Vice Director?"
"I can't even touch him. I'm too scared."
And yet, you're a shitty prosecutor who has accepted many bribes.
And you've been stuffing your face like that for ten whole years, at that.
I don't know about anyone else
but you'll definitely go down with me.
Do you
have a better grasp of reality now?
I... under... stand.
Arrange a meeting for me and Senator So.
Me, you, and Senator So.
None of us will be able to escape this until the bitter end.
You got that?
I'm positive that Do Kkoo made a deal with Prosecutor Chae.
But there is something that I don't understand.
Prosecutor Chae took the classified document from me
so why is she threatening me? Why?
I'm sorry, sir. I should have protected it better.
I'll meet Senator So, and see if he got his hands on the classified documents.
If he doesn't have them, the person who the monster inside me will tear to pieces
will be Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung.
And then, I'll reclaim my father's life, which your father stole from him.
Why aren't you asleep?
How could I sleep, after seeing your face like that?
Why are you going around like that, making people worried?
So...
have you not gone to bed, because of me?
I can't forget what Uncle Do Kkoo said.
He told me that misfortune comes to anyone who stays by Master Ha's side.
After hearing him say that...
I realized that he was completely right.
If you really must stay by that man's side
I'd like it if you were the exception to his curse.
This one is fine.
Is there something wrong?
No.
The preparations for this all went seamlessly, right?
You know, you asked me that a couple of times today already.
I just want to be sure. Here, please take this.
Here you are, Chef.
This is the beef tartar that will be served to customers.
It's fresh. The texture is great.
I think it should be fine to send it out as is.
How did it go?
I poured a bunch of salt on it, like you told me to.
He can't taste anything at all.
Really?
Should I try it one more time?
No, that's enough.
Please
keep this a secret between us.
And you must make sure that Madame Go never hears about this.
Her and the head chef are on the same team.
I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
This isn't stealing. This is just recycling.
Yes. Throwing away beef tartar is a sin!
- Isn't that right? - Of course!
Oh, geez! It's really a shame that we have no soju.
All right!
What is this? It's drenched in salt!
Oh, my... my tongue!
What's going on?
Oh, no, no... it's nothing... Don't worry about it!
- Come on! What is it? - I'm telling you, it's nothing!
Geez, seriously. It's not like anyone would steal that.
What?
Wasn't this presented to the head chef not a little while ago?
That's true. He said that it was okay to serve to customers.
Well, I'll get going, then.
Have a seat.
Looks like the black stones
are all but demolished.
Why don't you try to win with those?
They're too far gone. Nobody can save them now.
This is the summary of what's going on at the Goong Rak Foundation.
Do you have a list of the people who gave you money?
They're all registered here, with aliases.
I've included a list of their real names and how much they've contributed.
There are more than ten senators here who are positioned against you.
This will be very useful to you, I'm sure.
Why did you change your mind?
Nothing changes someone's mind better than a beating.
My problems seem to be growing, but I can't seem to handle them.
Come and join the Goong Rak Foundation.
And, take this.
Good idea.
What good would it do for us to just keep fighting, anyway?
And...
As for the confidential document...
Yes.
Where is that confidential document?
There are only seven days left until the nomination screenings.
I'll give it to you then, after you've dealt with everything.
I need... a means to survive too, right?
Well, I think things will be resolved. So don't worry too much.
Let's go eat.
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung...
is taking things too far.
She's coming at me, trusting in your support, and it's quite annoying.
May I... be the one to take care of her?
You know what happens if you mess with prosecutors, right?
Even I can't help you if you get into trouble with them.
Nobody could.
What if they're not a prosecutor?
Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung accepted a bribe.
This is evidence to prove that.
The next step
is for you to pretend that you didn't know anything about this.
Must you really do this?
Yes, I must, sir.
It's me, Gil Yong. I have a request for you.
Oh, my, you scared me!
I snuck out, so I can't stay here for too long.
Master Ha will get the document you took from him, no matter what it takes.
You'll be in danger.
If you came all this way to tell me that, you've wasted your time.
I won't change my mind, no matter what anyone says.
What if what just touched you was a knife, and not my hand?
What if it wasn't me, but someone else instead?
You'll die. Do you understand?
Your body could be discovered tomorrow morning.
Well, it was your hand, not a knife, and it was you, not someone else.
I'm not going to concern myself with things that haven't happened yet.
Chae Yeo Kyung. Please, listen to me! I'm begging you!
Can't you just turn a blind eye?
It's not like anything will change from you acting this way!
Tae Ha.
Listen very carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
The Master Ha that you serve
is the man behind the deaths of our parents. Not Senator So.
The one who gave your dad drugs and a knife to kill my parents
is that bastard, Master Ha.
Both of us were deceived by him.
So let's not be toyed by him anymore.
Are you sure?
Who told you that?
Do Kkoo.
I really don't know anymore. I don't know who's telling the truth anymore!
Tae Ha.
I'll go now.
Take care of yourself!
Oh, the Goong Rak Foundation.
All right, let's take a look inside of you now.
Wait.
Where did all of the funds go?
As you can see, half have been sent overseas
and the other half is being kept by me, in cash.
Out of your damn mind...
I always had my doubts.
But how could you run a money laundering business like this, in broad daylight?
That's how you conduct business of this nature.
If you're overly cautious, it becomes that much more noticeable.
You've now become the director of the Goong Rak Foundation, so you decide.
Will you report this to the cops and get rid of the foundation altogether
or will you join us in our debauchery?
Master Ha!
"Master", huh? It sure sounds nice to hear.
People need to wear clothes that suit them.
If someone forcibly adjusts clothing to fit their body
like you are right now, they end up looking ridiculous.
All right. Let's make a deal.
Wash your hands clean of the foundation, and focus on Goong Rak Won.
Madame Go has a tight grip on the management rights to Goong Rak Won.
Even if I do focus on it, I won't have any particular way of getting it.
What if I give you my shares?
If you add up yours, mine, and the Go Clan's, we're the majority.
With that, getting rid of Go Gang Sook will be as easy as it gets.
In exchange, I have a condition. I get the management rights to Goong Rak Won.
Not you.
Of course. All I care about is the foundation.
Fine, that's that.
But... about the new head chef.
His sense of taste--
Weren't you two on bad terms?
Looks like things are different now.
Well, then. I'm off.
What brings you here?
I came to film you.
- Oh, yeah. - Look at you...
What does it matter how hard I try, when you're this close to failure?
The nomination screenings are in a week
and if you get a nomination, there will be nothing to stop you.
You only have two more TV appearances before the screenings happen.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Can I
get onto the broadcast, too?
And who is this courageous young lady?
A major shareholder of Goong Rak Won.
Why do you want to go on TV, all of the sudden?
It's something I've wanted to do for a while.
I want it to be known that women also work in Goong Rak Won's kitchens.
Why did you do that, before?
When we all met to vote on whether or not I'd be dismissed...
I thought that we resolved the misunderstanding between us.
But I guess not.
Or did you... fall for someone else's lies?
My will isn't so weak, that I would just fall for anyone's lies.
I was judging whether you really wanted to help Goong Rak Won
and whether or not you had any genuine interest in noodle-making.
That's the reason I agreed to your dismissal.
I got a call from Senator So Tae Sup.
They told me to incapacitate you, and then await their orders.
This isn't a mere suspension.
This may even lead to a forced resignation, or getting fired altogether.
So I said to him...
"As if, my ass!"
Well... no.
I couldn't say that out loud.
I have three kids to feed at home, after all.
What is it that you want to say?
He... found your weakness, didn't he?
Did you accept a bribe or something?
How much time do you need to lock up Master Ha?
I've accepted way too many bribes, so I'm powerless to do anything.
But I can offer you a shield, at the very least.
So go ahead...
and try to take him down.
Prepare yourself, and do the best you can.
Why are you changing gears, all of a sudden?
Maybe... because of my stupid pride?
I met Master Ha a while ago and was utterly humiliated by him
and I lost everything.
If you just happily accept whatever people give you
that's what will end up happening to you too.
If you accepted money from them, give it back now.
And don't ever accept another bribe again.
I can hold him off for about a month.
I can't last much longer than that.
Take him down as soon as you can.
Let's just call him "Master Ha".
Yes.
All right. You're all ready, right?
We'll get started right away, then.
Today, we've brought Noodle-maker Kim Da Hae as our only female guest.
All right. Today's theme is "Father".
Shall we see what kind of noodles everyone made?
I've made nooreun noodles.
Oh! Wait a minute.
Isn't this the same dish as the kkoldoo noodles you made last time?
Kkoldoo noodles are based on nooreun noodles.
Their real name was only rediscovered recently.
And there's also a name that I must rediscover
for my father.
That's why I made nooreun noodles.
Oh... It seems like you have a story linked to names, Chef Moo Myung.
How unique.
All right.
Then what kind of noodles did you make, Ms. Kim Da Hae?
These are hand-cut kelp and clam noodles.
When I first had these noodles, I felt like I was tasting the ocean.
It's the first happy memory that I have.
I want to convey this message to my father.
It's not too late, so confess your sins and go back to the way you once were.
What a heartfelt message! It looks like you all have interesting stories.
All right. Finally, Master Ha.
Oh, it looks like you made hand-cut kelp and clam noodles too!
What could be the story behind this?
I have... no memories of my father.
So I made the dish that I would like to make my child, if I were to have one.
Yes, thank you. How about we exchange dishes and try them out now, then?
Ms. Da Hae. Thank you for before.
It was nothing. Think of it as repayment for the noodles you helped me with.
Head Chef.
Yes, Consultant Ha?
See me later. I have something to talk to you about.
I also have something to talk to you about.
It's not too late, so confess your sins and go back to the way you once were.
Yes, Senator?
I've pulled my support from Chae Yeo Kyung.
So do whatever you deem fit.
Thank you, sir.
What are you doing?
You won't join us?
If you don't, I'll stick this inside of you...
You can kidnap her, or whatever you want to do.
All I need are the documents.
To be honest, attacking her is very risky, even for us.
And it will cost us as lot of money to lay low for a couple of years.
What's the deadline?
Deadline?
Right now.
Who are those people?
I'm talking about the people who just left.
I just gave them some work to do.
May I ask you what?
It's something that you can't do.
It's something very wicked and dangerous.
What?
Do you have a problem?
No, it's nothing.
Pick up... Pick up, Yeo Kyung!
It's Prosecutor Chae Yeo Kyung. I have something to discuss with you in person.
Yes. I'll meet you there.
Chae Yeo Kyung has left.
Sir, he said that she left.
Tell him to tail her, closely. When she stops her car, get her.
Please! Please, damn it!
Get her into the car.
Damn it! Damn you!
Are you okay, Yeo Kyung?
Oh, look who it is.
Aren't you Tae Ha?
You are, right? Tae Ha?
Just wait a bit. It'll be over soon.
Wow, how disappointing... Right?
We even spent three years together in the pen.
You're really disappointing me, just ignoring me like this.
Look at that bastard. He looks like he could shoot lasers out of his eyes.
There are some people you should just leave alone.
Bastards like you shouldn't even be allowed to come near her.
What an amazing soliloquy. Are you writing a poem right now?
You bastards started this.
- Not me. - Get him.
Tae Ha...
July 6th, 1995. Love Orphanage.
Love... Orphanage?
Chae Yeo Kyung.
Park Tae Ha.
Love Orphanage.
No... no! Tae Ha! No!
