Episode 12
Hey, Kim Tak Gu!
Are you asleep?
Aren't you going?
I'll take you home. Get in the car.
Are you going to sit there till daybreak?
I said I'll take you home.
Please start the car.
Let go of me!
Let's go.
You have been living in a place like this?
This won't do, come with me.
At least eat something.
It looks like you have nothing to eat.
And it's not healthy to make food here either.
Why?
Why did you make that kind of deal with Tak Gu?
Aren't you going to eat something?
You already own a lot of things.
You have a lot more than Tak Gu, don't you?
Let's go out to eat.
Is it fun?
Is it that much fun to bully a weak person...
who has nothing?
You know too...
that Tak Gu has nothing right now.
He has no family now...
I know!
I know that he has nothing. I know that.
But, why do you still want to stay with him?
What's your reason?
Because I only have Tak Gu,
He did all the things for me
that Father didn't.
He is the only person whom I can really laugh with.
To you, the existence of a person like him means nothing.
But to me,
he is my everything.
You won't understand what that means.
You won't understand for sure.
Because you already own everything
when you were born into this world; before even wanting them.
How would you understand? You can't understand.
Leave... People like you,
I don't want to see any more.
I'll make sure...
I'll give you things that Tak Gu can't give you.
- Let go of me. - What do you need?
Money? Clothes?
First, get out of this run-down place. I will change this for you.
I'll get you a much prettier, cleaner, and more suitable house for you, so...
Let go of me!
Be my woman!
Shin Yu Kyung, you...
be my woman.
I don't know what I have done.
All I cared about was to get Yu Kyung out of there.
I said I can do anything,
but when I think of how we can't see each other for two years...
I am going crazy!
Why did you promise him then?
That's all I can do. I could only agree to his condition.
What are you going to do now then?
Study hard...
and win against him.
That's all I can do now that I've already decided to compete with him.
I can beat him, if I study very hard for two years, right?
Do you really think it's so easy to make bread?
But it doesn't matter how hard. It can be done.
I should be okay if I study with all I have.
And you will help me, won't you?
Should I tell you something?
You... will not win for sure.
Even though you have talent, it's not enough.
You might be able to make bread.
But to make bread that will satisfy my grandfather within two years is impossible.
And you won't beat him either.
This is the fact and the foreseeable result two years from now, do you understand?
You mean you won't help me then?
Two years is too short a time.
Is it really impossible?
There is no way.
There won't be any miracle?
No, there won't; for sure.
Absolutely not.
But, I still want to win.
What should I do, Yu Kyung?
Think about it carefully.
You don't want to live in this run-down house all your life either, right?
I will help you.
I will help you escape this kind of life.
Don't think of changing this world.
If you feel it's unfair, then just change yourself.
If you become rich and powerful,
then the world will change too.
[Murderer]
Whichever way I see it, it looks like Tak Gu
is responsible for this.
Ever since I heard he is back,
I've always felt something would happen.
It's clear that he's in trouble and needs money that's why he is doing this.
He must be trying to use his missing mother's case...
to blackmail us for money, isn't he?
I...
will check it out first.
If it isn't Tak Gu,
no one else...
No one else would write
this kind of letter to blackmail us, right?
Absolutely not...
There were only two of us that night.
And only two of us...
knew about this thing.
It's really depressing.
Mother-in-law's memorial is almost here and this kind of thing happens.
Don't be too affected.
It's not something that serious.
Am I right?
Only the two of us know about it, right?
Don’t worry.
I already sent her out to buy something.
He's here because of Ja Rim.
Doctor Kim, please come over here.
Madam, you are home.
I thought there was no one here so I was about to leave.
Ja Rim is in her room.
Okay, I'll go in there first then.
He was personally introduced by Chairman Cho so don't worry.
Find out who sent that letter first.
If my guess is right then...
You must handle it right this time. If we should give him some money
- or... - I got it.
I will take care of it.
Please keep it down.
Those words that I said about you needing to risk your life to stop that child,
you should keep it to heart. Do you understand?
Don’t worry, I've already began taking care of that.
It's a very hard life because you need
to take care of your deeply ill sister, isn't it?
What do you want me to do?
Let's start with Kim Tak Gu.
Find out what he is doing at the bakery.
Who is he meeting?
I need someone to track him for me.
And sometimes, you'll have to follow my instructions...
to disrupt some of his activities.
I believe you will accept my request.
Why do you think I will accept it?
Your sister will be treated
in a much better environment as long as you agree.
Aigoo, that punk...
Why does he want to learn how to make bread out of the blue?
Who would imagine?
Anyway, everything that guy Tak Gu does is out of hard-headedness.
What's wrong with Tak Gu? Did something happen?
Who knows what happened?
He suddenly wants to formally learn how to make bread.
And he said he's planning to get the certificate from Teacher two years from now.
Aigoo, such a crazy guy.
He thinks it is something so easy to get?
I guess I've lived long enough
to hear bulls*** stories like that.
Hey, does it make any sense?
You know nothing about making bread, and yet what do you want to receive?
The certificate from Teacher.
Hey, did you drink?
No, I am wide alert.
How could you say such ridiculous words then?
I will study really hard and learn the techniques.
I'll try really hard.
Do you think making bread can be learned by just trying?
What else besides technique?
Please tell me; I will do whatever it takes.
Shut your mouth.
People like you won't do even if you clean pans for three years.
Hurry, go back to your room.
Is there any way, Teacher?
No way.
Your reason is...?
I'm asking you why all of a sudden, you want my certificate.
I had an agreement with Seo Tae Jo
that two years from now, we will take the test together from Teacher.
What?
You mean you are competing with Seo Tae Jo?
You?
Yes, I want to compete and...
I want to win.
This punk who knows nothing...
Wait, Boss.
You said you want to beat me?
Aigoo, really...
Father, it is not the time to laugh about it.
Whenever that guy does or say something,
something big happens.
I don't know where I should even start, Father.
He's a child who survived on his own in the streets,
from the young age of 12.
His brain was filled with only one thought - to find his mother.
So he sometimes does scary things and unexpected things.
However, Father,
we can't just let him dream too high either.
What should I do then?
Since you've chosen the whip, I have no choice but to choose the carrot.
Father!
He has been pushed aside ever since he lost his mother.
He's had a tough life with no one ever caring about him.
But, Father,
he wants to learn how to make bread?
How can we let that kind of child be, Father?
Then... let me ask you this.
Why did you allow that child to return to the bakery?
What?
What I mean is, when that guy said he wanted to come back,
why did you accept him back?
You said it was for the children, didn't you?
You said it was an order from the children's hospital.
Those children are eagerly waiting in hunger for the bread.
How will that work then?
You should try to trust the child's heart that you saw that day.
Just sow the seed in that trusting land,
and it will grow rapidly for sure.
Could it be that, Father...
Are you really going to let Tae Jo compete against that child?
It might actually be fun.
Although I'm saying this,
but you have the final say.
- Gather together! - Gather together!
This is the list of today's work.
And Kim Tak Gu, you...
Why didn't you wipe out all the moisture on the baking pans?
What?
In this kind of weather, if there's moisture on the baking pans, the pans will be ruined.
You didn't know this?
The guy doesn’t even know this basic thing?
You want to get the certificate from Teacher?
I'll go wipe them right now.
Clean the bottom of those pans; get them shinning for me.
Yes, I got it.
Make them shine until your face reflects on them.
Until they're shinning... do you understand?
Until they show my face and shinning... I got it.
Do it again. Start from the beginning.
Again!
Yes, do it again.
Is it okay like that?
Every day, cleaning pans like this; not to mention beating me...
Will you even be able to take the test?
I... Kim Tak Gu am a man.
I keep the words which come out from my mouth.
I will compete with you, fair and square, two years from now, so...
You don't need to worry.
There's no need to be fair and square.
You won't be able to beat me if you do it fair and square.
You shouldn't care about what methods to use.
You should just put all your life on it...
Because I will be doing that.
Tak Gu, there is a guest outside for you.
Guest? Me?
Yes, it's a man in a suit.
What made you come for me here?
Are you doing okay in the bakery?
You came here just out of curiosity about this?
Why?
Go get some gangsters again.
Aren't you going to drag me again somewhere; like an underground storage?
Why don't you do your worst?
Is that the reason you sent the blackmail letter?
Blackmail?
That letter you sent to Madam of Geosung...
You sent that kind of letter to vent your anger, didn't you?
Wait a minute, Manager Han.
What are you talking about?
If not...
So, did you do it because you are looking for money?
In that case, then you better tell me up front.
How much do you want?
How much will it take for you to sever ties with Geosung?
The scare tactics did not work so now you're using money.
You want to use money to wipe me out?
Tell me, how much do you need?
Listen to me, Manager Han...
I have severed my ties with Geosung long ago.
That night 12 years ago...
when I walked out of that house,
I already decided to never go back there again.
You really didn't write that letter?
I am a man.
How could I do such a shameful thing?
Stop before you go beyond the limit, Manager Han!
Don't you ever interfere with me again.
If you dare touch me again,
even I don't know what I will do to you then.
What I mean is, I might just go straight to the President.
If you show up one more time,
then I will not take it anymore. Do you understand?
Number 5!
please taste like how I imagined.
- I am really... - Hey, Kim Tak Gu... You!
I didn't use my fist.
I used my knee... so I kept my promise.
Ma Jun.
Didn't I tell you not to do anything?
Did you forget that I told you not to do anything to Kim Tak Gu?
If he needs to be defeated, then I should be the one who defeats him.
I told you not to touch him and not to interfere in this.
It looks like you lost weight.
Do you eat on time?
That is not what you should be asking, Ahjussi.
Ahjussi, are you my father?
At the very least...
tell me when you are going to get out from here.
Your mother is very worried about you.
She asks me several times every day to look for you.
For the next two years, I'll be staying here so you know.
Two years?
That can't be! You're really going to stay for that long?
Even if it's long, I will wait and stay on.
And I must receive that certificate which Father is expecting.
You know this now so don't come to Pal Bong Bakery any more...
Ahjussi.
You should...
at least call your mother to say hi to her.
Stop saying your mother, your mother...
To Ahjussi, she is a madam that high in heaven, isn't she?
Even after living together like a family for such long time,
you should still maintain a master and servant distance, Manager Han.
Right, so it is like that.
I will be careful from now on.
Father... Father, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Father, please don't hit me.
I was...
I was wrong, Father.
You absolutely can't take Yu Kyung away.
Don't hit her. Don't hit her!
Tak Gu!
Where are you going?
I'm going to Tak Gu.
I want to see Tak Gu.
Hey! Hey, Shin Yu Kyung!
Hey!
It's malnutrition.
It is also those injuries from the beating.
Malnutrition?
Yes.
It's best to let her rest in the hospital for a week.
Let's do that. I will pay for the medical expenses.
Okay.
Number one four times in school...
The over archiving female college student
and malnutrition...
Shin Yu Kyung,
what kind of person are you really?
You've had a difficult life already.
Why are you pretending to be so great in front of me?
Come in.
This is the marketing plan for entering the French market.
Why not give it to me in the office instead of here?
I already told Manager.
Besides, I have something to say to Father.
What do you want to say?
On Grandma's memorial day,
I would also like to go to her grave with Father.
There's no need. You don’t need to go to that kind of place with me.
I am the eldest daughter of this family, even if it's just a title.
But Father, I am really your eldest daughter.
So please give me a chance too.
Ja Kyung...
I will do well. I won't disappoint you.
After reviewing this, bring it to the manager.
Yes.
We will leave early on Saturday; no later than 7 o'clock...
so don't be late.
You may leave now.
Yes.
Ahh... It tastes really great!
Tak Gu...
Where are you?
What are you doing?
What else? No one is teaching me so I am studying on my own.
- Studying on your own? - Yes, studying on my own!
Where was I?
Potassium... Potassium...
Sodium... Calcium...
Better leave this for tomorrow.
I better read this today.
Do you know how many kinds of bread there are in this world?
There are about 30 some thousand.
Like this...
By yourself, how could you figure out this wonderful
yet complicated world of bread?
You really lack brains...
It's impossible.
Correct, I lack brains.
I'm just an empty shell.
I don't know anything.
I dropped out of elementary school.
There's nothing in my head. I know nothing.
I know nothing about bread.
And I don't know what to do in order to defeat that guy Seo Tae Jo.
I did see my father whom I haven't seen for 12 years.
But I was so dumb that I couldn't say anything...
in front of the father who called me his special child.
My current status is very embarrassing.
I have no confidence in myself.
I feel very guilty inside.
Hey, Kim Tak Gu.
So from now on, I don't want to live like that anymore.
Whether it's bread or Seo Tae Jo's defeat,
there is only one living goal in my head from now on.
This is the only way
I can say when I meet my mother or father in the future,
"How are you? I am your son Kim Tak Gu. "
I will no longer fell shame and be able to greet them proudly.
Tak Gu...
So...
don't tell me it won't work when it hasn't even started yet.
I once said that I will try, didn't I?
Even a person like me can have a dream, right?
There are four basic items.
Flour, water, salt, and yeast.
These are the four most basic items in making bread.
This is how my grandfather said it.
Since the ancient times,
to reach a faraway place, one needs to start from the closest place.
To reach the highest point, one needs to start from the lowest point.
Fallen Soybeans!
Start from that. Flour, water, salt, and yeast...
Start from that.
Are you making dumpling skin?
Did you have a good night sleep, Boss?
Mixing good dough is not just dependent on brute force.
Look...
- The dough is over-mixed; it's too soft. - Yes.
- Do it again. - Yes.
Oh ba mising...
Oh ba... oh ba...
It's not oh ba mising. It's over-mixing.
It means mixing the dough too much.
When mixing isn't enough, the dough will be hard.
But when it is overdone, the dough will be too soft.
Oh, so it's like that!
Mixing... ahh... Hey, it's magical.
What's the meaning of raw?
It's dough that is mixed and ready.
Ahh... dough that is mixed and ready.
Raw is the mixed dough, and mixed dough is raw.
Hey... Mi Sun, there is nothing you don't know! You are really great.
Hey. Hey, what is this?
Couleur du pain...
Couleur du pain?
It means...
The dough we mix isn't just a block of dough.
It is a living thing.
This is cool.
[Nan Yang Hong family, Jung Beon's grave]
There are flowers this year too.
From who is it?
I wonder...
I don't know who it is either. It's been already more than 12 years.
Someone sends flowers every memorial day for your grandma...
They're the flowers that grandma liked.
That person must have been a good friend of Grandma while she was still alive.
But, I'm still wondering who it is.
It's been over such a long period; rain or shine.
Yes.
Okay, let's bow to Grandma.
Yes.
Seung Jae, you...
What kind of hatred did you hold against our family...
that you did such an ugly thing?
How could you betray our kindness like this?!
How could you do such a horrible thing? How could you?
I...
would never...
never let you two go free.
I will never let you two go free!
Manager Han.
Yes, President.
Is it someone you know?
No.
You are much better now.
Then I can go outside now?
It's okay to go on simple shopping trips but you better avoid any party.
Yes.
My daughter's treatment is done?
Yes, I don't need to come here starting tomorrow.
And I will recommend a psychiatrist to you.
It's best to have a weekly session.
Okay, let's do that.
You worked hard, Doctor Yoon.
Not at all.
Oh, the girlfriend is very pretty.
What?
I'm talking about Ma Jun's girlfriend.
What do you mean?
Oh, you didn't know?
How nice it is to have a boyfriend with that kind of background.
The girlfriend is sick so he arranged for a special hospital room for her.
Where do I find such a nice boyfriend in this world?
I'm so envious of you.
Yes, this is room 1209.
Oh, Yes.
It's your boyfriend.
Hello.
How are you feeling? Are you better?
Why did you bring me here?
It's a burden for me. Either change the room or get me discharged.
As expected, you're not going to say thank you!
It's okay. I wasn't expecting it anyway.
There is something in the family so I got permission to go out.
I will be there in a little bit.
Before I get there, don't say anything; just rest.
Hello... Did you hear what I said?
Hey, Shin Yu Kyung.
It's Mother, Ma Jun.
The one standing in front of me...
This girl is the newest girl you are going out with, isn't she?
Mom.
Yes, I got it.
Ma Jun, you can tell me everything later.
Let me take care of everything here for now.
I heard about this situation.
You received an invitation from Ja Rim and went to the company anniversary party.
There, you met Ma Jun that day.
And you maintained that relationship till now, right?
You pulled my daughter into participating in student activism.
And then you planned to gain benefits from my son, didn't you?
I originally thought you were smart, but you are so easily led by others!
Your words are too prejudiced.
Right.
How deep is your relationship with our Ma Jun?
Can that relationship be resolved by money?
Or is it a relationship that can be ended by my advice today?
In the past, because of girls like you who stuck around Ma Jun,
I got headaches countless of times.
Oftentimes, I resolved it with money.
Fine, how much do you want?
That's enough.
Whatever you are trying to say is clear enough.
So you don't need to say anything more.
Yu Kyung... Yu Kyung!
Yu Kyung, you are out safe!
When were you released? How did you get out?
How's your health? Are you hurt anywhere?
I'm sorry, Yu Kyung.
I didn't intend to hurt you,
but... I was too afraid.
It's okay.
Rich people are all like that.
I never expected friendship
and loyalty from people like you in the first place.
Yu Kyung...
Enough. It's okay.
Just consider it as if we never met each other.
What?
You...
didn't join the movement for some special interests, did you?
You did it just for fun, didn't you?
It's similar for me too.
What kinds of ideas would people like you who were born in a rich family have?
I was wondering about that so I befriended you.
Yu Kyung, how could you say this?
It's too much!
- Nonetheless, we were friends. - I was only pretending to be a friend.
Leave!
It's better not to see each other again from now on.
Aigoo! Isn't this Ma Jun?
Aigoo... I haven't seen you for so long. I'm very happy to see you.
Did you come for Grandma's memorial?
Where is my mother?
Mother is here.
You are back, my son.
Why did you go to the hospital?
You haven't seen Mother for a long time and these are your first words?
She really was sick... very sick.
That is the best excuse for a woman to attract a man.
Anyway, you are not allowed to see her again from now on.
You are so bad.
Mom, don’t do this again.
How long are you going to interfere with my life?
Mom's son is 24 years old now!
So what if you're 24 years old? The girls you find are all the same.
- Mom! - That's enough. Say no more.
I'll pick your future wife anyway.
Mom!
Someone from a family matching ours the most.
She has to be well educated, well mannered,
and treats you as the heaven. She has to be that kind of girl.
My daughter-in-law has to be like that kind of girl. Do you understand?
Let's change the topic, Ma Jun. Where are you staying?
It's good if you don't know.
You really!
Do you want Mother to follow you around every day?
If you dare... then I will hide.
The reason I let you stay out is
Mother trusts you and has been waiting for you till now.
So you should at least give me a hint of where you are staying.
That way I won't be too worried.
Where? Where are you staying?
I'm staying at Teacher Pal Bong's place.
He was your father's teacher, wasn't he?
Correct.
You... why did you want to go there?
I had no other choice.
I want to change Father's perception of me.
Getting a certificate from Teacher Pal Bong is the fastest way.
My son even thought of this!
From now on, I will take care of my future. So Mom...
I got it. I fully understand what you mean.
From now on, I will not ask and will not interfere with your business.
To tell you the truth,
I was thinking of asking you to work hard in running the business.
But your idea is not bad too.
Can you relax now?
I'm not just relaxed but also very thankful for your hard work.
Aigoo, my son!
Thank you, my son.
Hey, how is it? This time, I did it well. Right?
Bake it first then we will know if there is any problem.
Bake it?
If you want to use the oven
then you need to get permission from Jin Gu hyung.
He doesn't like people using things without his permission.
Really?
Since Jin Gu hyung seems to have a soft spot for you, he'll probably help you.
Forget it, who said I want help from that kind of person?
Without baking, it's not finished bread.
Besides, you need Jin Gu hyung's help for baking the bread. That's for sure.
Fighting then.
I'll leave first.
How fortunate is she?
She passed away a long time ago,
yet the whole family honors her like this every memorial day.
This makes it look like she is more fortunate than me,
doesn't it?
What's going on with that letter?
I found the post of origin.
From where?
Cheongsan.
Where? Cheongsan?!
You're too loud. Keep it down.
So you're saying the one who sent the letter wasn't Tak Gu but someone else.
Who is it then?
We don't know anything yet. Let's wait till detailed investigation is done.
Madam!
How is Madam?
I just gave her a shot to calm her down. She should be fine after sleep.
Really?
Ah!
That... I... I am just...
You want to bake these?
No, I...
I will bake it myself later.
Before baking, the bread is just dough.
It needs to be baked to know what kind of bread you have made.
That...
I will count it as you once helped me bake bread.
I'm not saying I'll forgive you.
I am just... just...
I know that.
I am helping you as your sunbae; that's all. Is that okay?
Wait!
What is that sound?
That sound came from the bakery, didn't it?
It sounded like something exploded, Teacher.
Shall we leave now?
Are you okay?
Hurry, open the windows! Open the windows!
Tak Gu!
- Hey, Jin Gu. - Jin Gu...
Jin Gu!
- Aigoo, something major happened. - Tak Gu!
Tak Gu!
Tak Gu...!
It's okay now.
Let's go.
