How can I help you?

I'm here to see Mr. Han Seung Jae.

What?

Kim Tak Goo is downstairs at the company lobby?

Take him where people can't see him.

Take him to the reception room.

No, take him to the small conference room.

Mr. Han.

I was about to call you for a meeting

for Chairman Jeong of Daeu Group.

I see.

But I have an urgent meeting to attend.

I'll follow you as soon as I'm done.

If it's an urgent meeting, then don't bother.

Get Jag Yeong. I'll go with her.

Can you do that for me?

Let's go.

Chairman.

Hey.

What's wrong?

No, I thought I saw a familiar face.

You should hurry.

Let's go.

Are you out of your mind?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to give something back to you.

What should I do? Should I call the police?

Or should I go to the Chairman and

tell him that his son Tak Goo is back.

Aren't you scared that I'll show up

in front of the Chairman

and tell him who I am?

Do you think he'll welcome you

with open arms if you do?

What?

I think you're mistaken.

You're nothing to the Chairman

and Geoseong Foods.

You're nothing.

Even if you show yourself here,

it won't change anything.

If I don't mean anything,

then why do you keep doing this?

Do what?

You paid someone to do the unthinkable.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talking about the gas explosion

and the conspiracy to drop

me from the competition.

You paid Go Jae Bok to do that to me.

I'm sorry, but I don't know who that man is.

You don't know him?

If you can show me proof that I know that man,

then show me.

Mr. Han!

You can go to the police if you want,

but in order to do that, you'll need proof.

Unless you want to get sued

for defamation, that is.

Let's stop here for today, Tak Goo.

You're messed up.

No matter how much you try to shoot

me down, it won't happen.

Do you know why?

Because I know that I'll win.

Jae Bok, get up.

Don't ever sell your soul

to a man like him again.

That arrogant little...

You're working at the secretary's office?

Yes.

Why are you working at

the secretary's office for my father?

It just happened.

Why did you disappear 2 years ago

from your room and your school?

No one knew where you were.

Where did you hide?

Did you look for me?

I never said that I looked for you.

How is Tak Goo doing?

He said that he'll work hard for 2 years

so that he can become a baker.

He tried, but it wasn't that easy.

He eventually resorted to dirty tricks.

He mixed the other participants' flour

with soda and ruined them.

What?

I was a little disappointed at him,

but I'm also glad.

He's not as special as

everyone thought he was.

I'm sure there was a good reason.

Tak Goo would never do something like that.

How could you be so sure?

Just because.

Just because?

Yes, I just know.

The Tak Goo that I know would

never do something like that.

And people don't change that easily.

Some things never change,

even if it seems like it did.

I see. I guess that's true for you too.

You don't have anything but your pride.

I guess you haven't changed either.

It was nice seeing you, Shin Yug Yeong.

Don't ever disappear out of my sight again.

Don't hide without my permission.

Don't cut yourself off from me. Understand?

Why do I have to do as you say?

Just because.

Just don't do it.

Do you know what I can do?

I can start a rumour that your dealings are

unethical and shun you from this industry.

Then you leave us with no other choice

than to ask your husband for help.

What? You're going to ask who?

Chairman Gu Il Jung is the only

person we can talk to about your debt.

Damn those guys! What do they take me for?

I'm sorry, Tak Goo.

But this wasn't easy for me either.

Not a day went by in peace for the last 2 years.

I mean it.

No wonder your bread didn't taste good.

Your heart wasn't in the right place.

Tak Goo.

That's enough.

Go home.

And forget what you saw and

heard at Geoseong today.

Jin Gu.

If you tell anyone, including Gap Su,

you'll have to explain what you did.

Understand?

I'll take this with me to the grave.

Good.

You planned this from the start, right?

You knew that I wouldn't do

anything to Jae Bok.

Isn't that why you brought him

to me instead of Mr. Pal Bong?

I knew that you're incapable of hating anyone.

Because you know how painful

it is to harbour hatred.

That's why you can't hate people.

Isn't that right?

Stop pretending to know everything about me.

But they still think that I did it.

And I've been banned from the bakery kitchen.

I don't know what to do.

Let me tell you one more thing.

The competition is not over.

Will you let them get disqualified and go

on with the competition under suspicion?

Or will you compensate them?

Are you telling me to forfeit?

If you don't compensate them,

the three participants can get disqualified.

Here are 3 sacks of flour, 20kg each.

These are for Tae Jo, Mi Sun, and Jae Bok.

For me too?

But now you only have 17,000 won left.

What can you do with them?

It's not that I only have 17,000 won left.

I still have 17,000 won left.

Tak Goo.

I'd rather stick with 17,000 won than

to be under suspicion with 50,000 won.

Even if I get disqualified,

you need to make it to the next stage.

So you can keep making good bread.

Does this mean that you're going to forfeit?

Forfeit? No way.

But you're banned from the

bakery kitchen for a week,

and you haven't perfected baking yet.

You haven't decided on what to make,

and you barely have any money left.

Yet, you're still going through with this?

But there's always a way out.

I'm still going to try.

I'll save the disappointment until later.

As for now, I'm going to do what I can.

Jae Bok, what are you doing?

I'm splitting my flour in half, Mi Sun.

Why are you doing that for?

So I can give this to Tak Goo

when he comes back.

For Kim Tak Goo.

Tak Goo moved another person's heart, Grandpa.

You're very sneaky.

What now?

First, you cheat by mixing flour with soda.

And now you're handing out flour?

Are you trying to win our favour

because you think you're going to lose?

Why are you so twisted?

Can't you take things at face value?

But everything you do is pathetic.

What's so pathetic?

What are you going to do with 17,000 won?

That's like forfeiting the competition.

I said, I didn't forfeit.

Are you sure you want

to see Shin Yug Yeong again?

Actually, I don't know

if Shin Yug Yeong wants to see you again.

Do you think she'll wait for you

after you get disqualified?

You don't have anything to show for.

No money, no education, and no talent.

The competition isn't over yet, Seo Tae Jo.

I haven't given up.

No one knows if I'm going

to get disqualified or not.

Sheesh!

Are you the pin wheel tattooed man?

What can I do for you?

I'd like you to protect someone for me.

Bring her here if something happens to her.

Don't ever place her in danger.

Don't let her see the boy.

Do you understand me?

I don't know what this is about,

but I just need to bring her here, right?

That's right.

Okay, I'll do that.

There was an accident.

I looked for her all night long,

but I think she was swept away by the currents.

Why do I keep seeing flashes of the past?

No! Stop!

No! Ms. Hong!

Don't do that, mother.

No! Stop! Ms. Hong!

- Let me go. - Stop!

Ms. Hong!

Don't tell my husband.

Ms. Hong!

Honey.

You must've had a nightmare.

Calm down.

You can get nightmares if you have

too many things on your mind.

Calm down and go back to sleep.

What are you doing?

Excuse me

I mistook you for someone that I know.

Here.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Mr. Pal Bong!

Mr. Pal Bong!

Come in.

What's this?

I got you omija iced tea. It's good for you.

What do you want to tell me?

What?

Aren't you here because you

have something to tell me?

No, actually...

Can you unban me from the bakery kitchen?

So this omija iced tea

is a bribe to get me to lift the ban.

Of course not! I would never bribe you!

Can you let me off the hook this time?

They won't get along.

Hey!

You bumped into me first!

I was coming down first!

What are you doing?

- I'm going down. - I'm going down.

Geez!

Clean that.

No, you clean it.

I cleaned it last time.

I cleaned it last time too.

Give that to me.

What are you doing?

Pick that up.

They argue over nothing.

Why aren't you taking that?

I already took one.

I already took one too.

They never give in to each other,

even for the tiniest things.

Can you split this into half?

They don't seem to be getting any better.

What should we do?

I see.

Bring both of them to the living room.

Tak Goo and Tae Jo!

Put that strap on your wrist, both of you.

Come on!

Don't untie that for 3 days.

What?

Mr. Pal Bong.

If you can keep that on you for 3 straight days,

I'll wave your ban from the bakery kitchen.

What are you talking about?

What about when we need to wash up?

What about when we need to use

the rest room or change clothes?

That's none of my business. Just don't untie it.

But...

If you untie it before the 3 days are up,

whoever unties it will be banned

from the bakery kitchen

until the day of the competition.

Thanks for the omija iced tea, Tak Goo.

That's not why I gave you that tea.

Mr. Pal Bong!

Come here!

Omija iced tea? What did you ask him?

I only asked him to wave

the ban from the kitchen!

Is that why I have to do this?

I didn't know he would do something like this.

Be quiet, you two.

I can't believe you're still fighting.

Don't you understand why Mr. Pal Bong is

making you do this?

Everyone, keep an eye on these two to

make sure they don't untie that knot.

Report to me if you see that knot untied.

- Understand? - Yes, Sir!

Mr. Pal Bong is so funny.

I hope you get along for 3 days!

Come again.

What now?

Clean that up.

No, you clean it up.

That felt good.

These are walnuts, barley and beans.

They're very heavy.

You weren't quick enough.

Stop getting in my way!

It's your fault, not mine.

You two are so childish!

Clean this up, you two.

Geez...

Forget it. Go away.

Stay still.

You're supposed to lean back

when you get a nose bleed.

I said, go away!

Listen to your older brother.

Hey mister!

I said, go away!

What do you know, you beggar?

Who do you think you are? Huh?

Who am I? I'm your older brother.

An older brother's job is to look after

his younger brother in times of trouble.

I can't believe you're bleeding. You scared me.

Thank you. Come again.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Table.

Table.

Kim Tak Goo.

See? You can do it.

Here.

We should bring Ma Jun back.

I can't wait until the board meeting.

We should open an emergency meeting and

get Ma Jun into the company this month.

Let's think about the other problems later.

Why are you in such a hurry?

The board meeting is scheduled for next month.

I may not be able to keep the shares

that I bought from Mr. Choi 2 years ago.

What?

I only have a month left.

It won't be a problem

if I can secure funds until then,

but if I can't, I'll lose the shares.

So, tell me where Ma Jun is. I'll talk to him.

Tell me how much you borrowed.

I can take care of my own problem.

Don't make the problem get out of hand.

Tell me what's going on.

You're not supposed to keep secrets from me.

I'm not sure if you're on my side or not.

What?

If you're really on my side, then show me proof.

The letter that you saw on my desk that day...

I'm back from the market.

I heard that Mr. Pal Bong lives in Incheon.

Where exactly in Incheon is he? Tell me.

This is really good.

This is the best food court in the market.

Why aren't you eating, Tae Jo?

I don't feel like it.

But, it's good.

Leave him alone. I'll eat his food too.

Do you want one?

Here.

Why are you acting like a beggar?

I want steamed buns, mum...

Let's go.

I want steamed buns...

I want steamed buns...

Come here.

Don't act like a beggar. Sit down.

That's what you get for trying to help.

Who do we have here?

Long time no see, Kim Tak Goo.

Thank you. Come again.

Hello? What's up, Mi Sun?

What?

We're in trouble!

Send Jin Gu or Father to the market!

Yes, to the ingredient shop!

Do you know these guys?

A little, back in the days...

This is like meeting your enemy at a dead end.

Come on, guys. I retired a long time ago.

Why don't we put the past

behind us and go on our ways?

Yeah, right.

Do you know what you did to me 2 years ago?

You knocked out a tooth!

Do you know how much a gold tooth costs?

Some guys came and broke my rib cage,

threatening me to tell them where you are.

I'll compensate for that

later after I make money.

Later?

Yeah, right.

Get up.

I said, stop it. I don't fight any more.

There are 3 biggest lies in the world.

1. A lady who swears not to marry.

2. An old person who says that he wants to die.

3. Kim Tak Goo vowing not to fight.

Okay, fine. Hold on.

Seo Tae Jo, did you tie your shoelaces?

What?

Run on the count of three.

Two, three!

What are you doing?

You should've run to the left.

Why didn't you tell me?

Run!

Get them!

This way!

Stop!

Stop!

Kim Tak Goo!

Tae Jo!

Tae Jo!

We can get a taxi if we go a little further.

No, I can't.

Gosh...

Where did he go?

Search the area!

He's not here.

- Look over there. - Yes, Sir.

I'm going to find you.

Oh, no. Can't you move at all?

If you untie it before the 3 days are up,

whoever unties it will be banned

from the bakery kitchen

until the day of the competition.

Kim Tak Goo, I know that you're in there.

Come out!

What are we going to do?

What are you doing?

They are after me, not you.

You'll be safe once I get out.

Are you out of your mind?

Are you going to give up on the competition?

I'm sorry, Seo Tae Jo.

I don't think I can keep my promise with you.

But I'll make sure you can

make it to the competition.

Kim Tak Goo...

No matter what happens, don't come out.

Kim Tak Goo is over here. What do you want?

Finally.

I'm here to pay you back for

what you did 2 years ago.

You jerk.

Take him away.

- Tak Goo! - Tak Goo!

Tae Jo! Seo Tae Jo!

You're really not going to fight?

I already told you. I quit. I'm a baker now.

I can't punch people with the hands

that I use to bake food for people.

If I did anything wrong in the past,

please forgive me.

If you're mad about anything,

let's resolve it right now.

You can punch me some more if you want to.

I'm okay with it.

I hate you.

How do you know Chairman Gu Il Jung?

He's looking for you.

What? He looked for me?

When?

2 years ago, not long after you came

to find the pin wheel tattooed man.

He looked for me?

Go on your way.

I hope we never see each other again.

Let's go.

Do you think he'll welcome you

with open arms if you do?

You're nothing to the Chairman

and Geoseong Foods.

That wasn't true.

He didn't forget about me.

It's me. Did you hear anything about Tak Goo?

I see. Keep it up.

And I'd like you

to find one more person for me.

I'm looking for the pin wheel tattooed man.

He was a fighter in Cheongsan.

Can you look into what he's doing now?

How much for everything?

How much?

Can I buy all that for 17,000 won?

Forget it. We're not beggars.

Go away.

I'm not giving money away.

I want to buy everything that you have.

Bring your son to

the Pal Bong Bakery when you have time.

I'll make you a lot of delicious bread.

Come here, Pil Ho.

This is good.

Kim Tak Goo, what are you doing here?

Chief.

What happened to your face?

Did you get bitten by a mosquito or something?

Mi Sun, Jin Gu. It's late. Let's go home.

But chief...

I think Kim Tak Goo and Seo Tae Jo will

be home late today.

This is so like them.

Grandpa must be waiting. Let's go home.

Don't just stand there. Help me.

Huh?

I sprained my ankle. Help me.

Okay.

Oh, right.

And?

Seo Tae Jo and Kim Tak Goo kept their promise.

I see.

They kept the promise that

they made with me?

Yes.

Can I take these two to

the bakery kitchen with me?

If that's what you want to do, then go ahead.

Okay.

I heard that ice is good for sprained ankle.

Forget it. Go away.

Hey, let your older brother help you out.

Thanks, Seo Tae Jo.

No need to thank me.

I didn't help you because I like you.

You don't have any friends, huh?

What?

You're too crude.

Of course you don't have a friend.

I'll be your friend.

I never asked you to be my friend.

But I want to. So how about it?

Look how swollen your ankle is.

You'll need an ice pack all night long.

Look.

- To your places! - Places!

Here's a list of the breads we'll be baking today.

Tae Jo, how's your ankle?

I had an ice pack yesterday. I can walk.

Good.

Tak Goo, did you get all the ingredients

necessary for the competition?

Uh...

What kind of an answer is that?

The thing is...

What's all this?

The ingredients that I bought yesterday.

And your receipt?

I couldn't get a receipt because

it was from a street vendor.

I paid 17,000 won for this.

What?

You paid 17,000 won for two cups

of barley and a sack of corn?

Who ripped you off?

I didn't get ripped off.

Are you kidding me?

You only have 2 days before the competition.

What can you do with 2 cups

of barley and a sack of corn?

You don't have flour, yeast, or anything!

Chief!

This flour is for Kim Tak Goo.

We have live yeast and butter too.

I got some leftovers.

I don't want to throw it out.

Come on.

Here are some eggs and other things

that I don't need.

What?

I think he's about to move

another person's heart, Grandpa.

These are from all the other participants.

I think he'll be able to make bread with these.

Do you think so too, Kim Tak Goo?

Yes, I think I can make the most filling bread

in the world with these.

Good. You have what you need now.

Good. Very good.

How have you been, son?

Is this where you work?

This belongs to Tae Jo. I think he forgot this.

Give that to me. I'll give it to him.

What are you doing here, mum?

I wanted to see where you work,

along with other things.

Mum, no one here knows who I am.

If anyone sees you here...

I have something to tell you, Ma Jun.

We can talk over the phone, or I'll go home.

Quit your job here and come back home.

Come back, Ma Jun.

Mum! What are you talking about?

I just started the competition.

I haven't even passed phase 1 yet.

You don't need that competition.

Come and work for the company.

Mum!

I waited 2 years for you.

Besides, I need you right now.

Come back home, Ma Jun.

No, I can't go back yet.

Not until I finish the competition.

Ma Jun...

I'm sorry, mum. I have to go.

Ma Jun!

Seo Tae Jo... What's going on?

Who is he?

Tae Jo...
