Original subtitles

Why would you do that?

I got no place to put my money in.

Hey. What did I say?

Why are you mad at me?

You and KWAK are the same.

Enjoy the movie.

- No. - Come on.

- We can't. - Why not?

- Wait. - It'll only take a second.

I'm not that kind of woman.

And I'm not that kind of man!

I didn't know you're a gambler.

- I'm going to quit. - You will?

Of course! I always keep my word.

- You promise to quit? - Of course!

- You swear? - Sure.

Oh, no!

That must be Hwa-ran! Hide!

- You're back so soon? - Yeah.

What about your date?

I dumped him.

- You? - Me?

I dumped him, too.

Good. Did you see his hairstyle?

It looked like a hen pecked at it.

Men with bad hair don't know how to deal with women.

Why did you leave your guy?

Uh?

Well...

He's too full of himself.

Daddy?

What?

Daddy?

- I thought you liked him. - Go back to bed.

- Daddy! - Daddy's right here.

Hey, boy!

- Mommy! Daddy's home! - What?

- Were you having a dream? - What's going on?

Hi there, Hwa-ran.

Let's get it started.

Their father made a fortune with his mining business.

6. A Pretty Knife during the colonial period.

But his sons ruined the family business.

In the 80s, they recovered most of the money.

How did they get ruined in the first place?

Gambling.

Tell him to pay with credit.

- You got me? - Yes, sir.

- What! - Hey! Lady!

Look what you've done!

I'm so sorry!

This looks brand new. I'm sorry.

- What are you going to do about it? - I'm sorry.

Don't be so hard on her.

Don't worry. This is waterproof.

- And? - Ah.

He's a proud man. Love sports.

He's 52, but he likes it when you say he looks younger.

Idiot.

You could pass for a man in his 40s.

I hear that all the time. Do you play golf?

When did you get so good?

You'll win this round, too.

I hear you play cards these days.

You can get back your money from there.

- You gamble? - I've only done it once or twice.

Men who like to gamble end up rich.

- Isn't that right, Ye-rim? - I wouldn't know.

He's got 10 billion won in real estate.

Three buildings and 15 ships.

Wow.

He got money in the Saemangeum land.

So he's got no cash up front?

Good shot!

That's a great shot!

Hit it, Ye-rim.

I think we're going to win.

It looks like it.

- What if I don't make it? - A shot like this?

You'd be a fool to miss it.

It's right next to the cup.

Each acre will go for

That's...

- You missed? - How could you miss that?

What's the matter with you? It was right next to the hole!

That means you owe me 5 mil.

- Let's have one more game. - Sure.

They said it's going to rain soon. This sucks!

Is money that important to you?

This isn't about money. I just hate to lose.

I see.

I'm going to take a cab.

Ye-rim!

Ye-rim! Ye-rim!

I'm really sorry. I've been horrible.

No. It's my fault.

You've given me new life.

- Let's make this last. - Yes.

OK.

Tell him your husband is going to play hwatu tomorrow.

Bring him along. Make him join the game.

Make him win the first 2 days. Give them 60 million won.

You'll bring him the money.

Tell him to be careful.

Make him do more.

Get him a little confused, but not too much.

I see.

Let's get to it. Finish this up by this week.

We have to leave soon.

The money is drying up.

When do we start work?

We've already begun, help them.

The gambler is here for his audition.

Where?

- Back at the hotel. - Okay.

That'll be all.

Send him away.

I don't like his face. Bring Goni to me.

Do you think we need him?

He's got good looks.

He asked Raccoon to look for PARK Mu-seok.

You mean he's still in Seoul?

Tell Raccoon I'm coming.

Yes.

I really should quit smoking.

Life is tough, Goni.

How much?

Twenty?

You're raising it again?

Six pair.

You win again?

- This sucks. - Well...

- Can someone start? - Where you going?

- To pee. - No.

You want to lose your mojo?

You'll get unlucky.

We can all go.

Have fun.

Hurry back. Turn on the music, so we can pee.

He folded with a five pair?

Will you shuffle these? I only have one hand.

He doesn't seem to have much skills.

Who is this guy?

I'll give him a low score.

Let's start with 10 mil.

I'm so excited.

Because of Goni? You interested in him?

I'm flattered.

- You are? - Right?

I see you. I raise you 50.

You're dead.

I have about 100 million. Should I toss it in?

Sure.

I've got a lousy 8 points.

Seven pair.

Give this money to the manager!

And write it down in the books!

How'd he get a 7 pair?

I gave him a 7 points.

Hey.

Let's play one more round.

I'm done.

This isn't over. One more round.

You'll never beat me.

You asshole!

One Ear?

I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

You changed the 7 points to a 7 pair.

- You're good, too. - I know.

It's lie.

But how can you tell when someone's bluffing?

At what point do you know?

You need to read the opponent's mind.

How do you do that?

I don't know.

Never look at the opponent's eyes when you're bluffing.

What exactly happened between you and Agwee?

I'm feeling drunk.

He cut off my ear for cheating then cut off my hand for losing.

It's not a big deal. This will happen to you, too.

7. Never Look Into the Eyes

- Where can I take you? - Anywhere.

What about Kyeonggi Province?

Or maybe the pier by Yeonan?

- I don't care. - Okay.

The pier, it is.

Wait! Stop the car!

Hey!

But...

I'll do it.

You look so pretty.

Are you kidding me?

Don't you like how you look?

- I'll do it over. - No.

- Forget it. Honey! - What is it?

She can't do this right. I'm a mess!

- What? Where's the manager? - I'm so sorry.

- You don't like it? - We'll do it over for you.

- Does she can do this? - Yes, but...

Sorry.

- Hello. - Hello.

Where's your bride?

- She's somewhere nearby. - I see. Get him some coffee.

Okay.

Part time job?

For now. I'd like to open my own shop someday.

I saw the bride yelling at you.

Don't have enough skills?

I have skills. The problem's with the bride.

I bet you have skills.

Did you spend all night gambling?

I lost everything.

Wait, the scissors...

Remember how Goni promised to pay our debts for us?

- Yeah. - But...

He never gave a dime to his family.

Do you believe that?

I'm going to see them tomorrow.

You can't let a woman tell you what to do.

You're one to talk.

You need to show them who's boss!

Like I did with Se-ran.

- Gwang? - Should I put eggs in your ramen?

Honey, come on.

Don't get your hands dirty!

Your hands...

Nice day.

So I give this money to your sister or your mom?

You sure you're not coming?

Fine.

My uncle's a prick. Try not to punch him.

I can't promise you that. See you.

Hello. I'm KO Gwang-ryul.

Hello.

Goni sent me here.

What? You know my son?

- Yes. - Goni?

He's busy with work.

He asked me to bring you this money.

He had to stay behind because of work.

- where is he? - Great.

Is he doing well?

Of course. He's doing too well, in fact.

Goni's got a job?

Hello. You must be his uncle.

We work at an export company.

Selling what?

We make those... Uh...

We make batteries.

This is all money?

Yes.

Ouch...

This kid's made huge bucks! I'll go count this.

- Are you okay? - Not really.

Got any extra pair of pants?

- Bring him a pair. - Okay.

Tell me the truth.

Is Goni still into gambling?

He's an honest man now.

- Mr. KO? - Yes.

- Please take care of my son. - Sure.

Don't let him go back to gambling.

Here. Take this. It's for the noodles.

Please, keep it. Please.

Goni's a good kid. He's very hardworking.

He is so gentle man.

He must take after you.

And the boy's got balls.

It's not a bad thing.

That's a good thing.

He's popular with women.

Listen, please.

What am I saying?

One time, I was trying to ask this girl out,

and Goni snatched her away from me!

I could have killed him.

I'm just joking. He's a good kid.

He won't trouble you anymore.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Look what your uncle did!

Goni won last time.

Goni's going to play a game against KWAK.

What's in that head of yours?

I can't let him go to KWAK.

Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

I didn't know about this either.

I was looking for Mu-seok.

How much did Goni win?

About 400 million.

He can't play against KWAK.

I see you.

Hello.

I knew you'd find me.

You've gained weight.

Have a seat.

The chairs look uncomfortable.

I came to ask you a favor.

You're starting to scare me.

I've started a new job in Kunsan, but I have no players.

Why don't you come with Gwang?

Hello there.

Oh! Hello!

I'll pay you 10 times the amount from Busan.

Who is she?

I'm not strapped for cash.

Goni?

- Lunch is ready. - Okay.

Hello.

Hello. Who are you?

I'm his girlfriend.

I heard a lot about you.

You did? What did he tell you?

You're not as chubby as he said you are.

How are you two getting along?

It's hard to control a man like him.

Love isn't about control.

You make a nice couple.

What's with this suit? So childish.

Call me if you need anything. I'm staying at the Jeonju Hotel.

See you.

Goodbye.

Who does she think she is? Bitch.

- What is it? - Do one more thing.

I need you to steal me a car. For 5 million won.

Goni's car?

You left the money in the car?

This is awful!

I can pay you more than that!

Really?

Of course!

- I'll get the shirt. - Okay.

- You take my pants - Okay.

- What is it? - Go home.

What?

Go home! Now!

Asshole.

Turn on the lights.

I was having fun.

We need to talk.

What's my share?

20%.

Uh... Goni?

What if KWAK finds out?

That's your choice to make. Either he kills you, or I do.

I've got no choice. Do I?

How have you been? Did you have dinner yet?

We don't always have the time to eat.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

Let's run a check.

They're going to use a camera on you.

Can I turn this on?

So no one is tempted to cheat.

Don't turn it on! - No!

It's just for precaution. You never know.

- Just for precaution. - How do I turn this on?

- And they'll drug you. - Give it.

I apologize for Goni. He's way too suspicious.

Want another cup?

No.

- We're so sorry. - Forget it. Let's begin.

I start.

You know the rules.

No bluffing, no limits.

Let's go.

I have flowers.

I'm sorry.

- Seven. - Eight.

One pair.

Three pair.

You might want to stop drinking.

Ten million.

I see you, and raise you 30.

Let's go with 100. No limits.

200 million.

You can fold if you're pissed.

I fold. I'm not pissed at you.

Got a good hand?

You bet.

Then I'll see you.

I fold.

Seven pair.

I'm sorry. It's a push.

You want to take this back or double it?

Double or nothing.

Eight.

I'm sorry. It's another push.

Triple or nothing.

Cut.

I'll do it.

I've got a lousy hand. I fold.

- Twenty. - I have no money left.

- All in. - Yes, sir.

All in.

- Check the money. - Yes, sir.

- It's all clean, sir. - Hold on.

Let's make this bigger.

I'm throwing in 500 mil.

We'll play again next time.

What did you have?

Nothing much.

One point?

You bet 500 million with that?

Thank you for the money.

Hey.

You want to come work for me?

I'm not interested.

What's keeping Mu-seok? What if they found out?

They won't.

I have to pee.

- Oh my goodness. - You can go first.

Really? I'll meet you at the cafe.

Should I start a business with this money?

Yeah. I knew you'd laugh.

I'll see you later.

I can't endure anymore.

I have to pee!

They knew all our tricks.

There's a traitor amongst us.

Sir. It wasn't me.

Where's my money?

I knew you'd say that.

- What are you doing? - Don't playing game!

Get these bitches out!

Get the money.

8. Too Many Enemies

You're still alive?

I'm here to buy the women.

With what?

- Money? - Isn't that the rule?

You and I...

both play by no one's rules.

But we need to respect them in some cases.

Wasn't that my money to start with?

That means we have no deal.

In exchange, I'll work for you for the next 2 years.

Sir, are you sure you can trust him?

Let me ask you this, Yong-hae.

Can you put your neck on the line, like he's done?

Of course.

What you laughing at?

You should have stayed away when you had the chance.

Give me the phone.

- The money's all there? - Yes.

- Get my car. - Yes, sir.

Release the girls.

Do as I say.

Let's go.

What are you going to do with Gwang?

I started this life when I was 17.

I'm the only man who's managed to come this far.

Want to know how?

By outsmarting the best ones

and killing off the traitors.

- Goni. - Yes?

- Bum a smoke. - Yes, sir.

Sir, the Olympic Highway is a disaster.

Then take the Mapo Bridge.

Yes, sir.

Hey!

- Ye-rim? - I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you return my messages?

I had things to take care of.

- What kind of things? - I'm sorry.

- You don't have to apologize. - I want to see you tomorrow.

- Alright. I love you. - Love you, too.

Kiss, kiss!

Get this out of the way!

And cover up the windows!

Who'd want to lose money in a broad daylight?

Are you mad?

Trust! That's important to us.

You are mad!

Ye-rim! Ye-rim!

Ye-rim!

Hey! Don't fix that! Let insurance cover it!

Are you breaking up with me?

No.

Why haven't you come to see me?

- I can't tell you. - What is it?

I played cards that night.

You did?

- Sotda? Gostop? - Sotda.

Sotda? It's great.

I didn't know you knew how to play that.

I'm usually calm but...

I get a rush when I'm holding those cards.

- I was out of my mind. - Gambling is not a bad thing.

Want me to get your money back?

You can't get mixed up in this.

Those people are smart and rich.

Hwatu is about luck and balls.

If you've got balls, you'll win the game.

The hardest part is to draw him into the game.

Once he sits down, it's easy to raise the stakes.

Before you ran away, right? You seems strange.

You in?

- You? - Of course.

The Bible says never miss out on a game like this.

- Fifty. - Wow.

Then I have to play by God's Word. Fifty.

What do you have?

I see your fifty. Two pair.

KIM! Call Ye-rim.

Sir. You can't do this. You're losing control.

Just call Ye-rim.

You lost all that money?

First, get his money.

He'll think he's losing because he's got no cash.

That's why I'll lend him half of the money up front.

- Sir. - Go wait in the car.

Eight pair!

Nine!

He'll lose money.

- That money will come to me. - Here we are.

Then I'll lend him the money back.

The cash goes round and round.

Wait! I'm in.

That way, no one wins.

Soon, he'll rack up hundreds of millions in debt.

That's when I end the game.

I was on a winning streak, but Mrs. CHO got lucky.

You lost 2 billion! And not just that!

I know! I lost dollars, too.

That's not worth much to you,

- but that's all I've got! - Okay! Okay!

I'll get it all back.

I'll loan 3 billion more

with my real estate as collateral.

Would that be enough?

Don't you need at least 5 billion?

Isn't is enough?

- You're right. What is gambling? - Riding the waves.

Once I go down, I'll come back up.

This time, I'm going to win!

Take care of yourself.

Good luck!

Good luck to you.

- Madam? - Huh?

Do you have news on Goni?

No one knows where he is.

If you find him, will you tell him I'm here?

Of course.

He'll come running if he knows you're here.

Thank you.

- Bye. - Thank you.

He will be dearly missed.

The seed that planted can't alive unless it died.

The dead people's revival is same as well.

He's here.

9. Price of Death

I hear you're looking for Goni.

- I want revenge. - What for?

KWAK wasn't your father or anything.

You can't think of this as revenge.

Revenge is much too kind.

It's making a money. This is a quest for blood.

I have to go home to my son.

Don't let them go anywhere until Goni gets back.

- Watch them! - Yes, sir.

It's me.

Meet me inside the cab that pulls up at 5 o'clock.

I'm sorry about all this.

You look prettier with your hair down.

- Keys to Goni's car. - Thanks, Raccoon.

All I need is my money.

Give him 10 million in cash.

I have news on Agwee.

I'm tired of hearing about him.

Mr. PYEONG fell off the train somewhere near Kangkyung.

But Agwee got off before that. He got off near Nonsan.

That means he wasn't the one who killed Mr. PYEONG.

There was someone else in that train.

Who?

I'm not sure, but there was a witness.

You miserable fuck!

He told me the killer had a gold plated tooth...

Why...

Why?

Mr. PYEONG...

That asshole ruined my life. He turned me into this mess.

I'll leave the money.

The house is closed tonight?

- It's been a long time. - Yeah.

It's very simple. Bring Goni to me.

No.

Sweetheart. You gotta do this for me.

There's no evidence to prove he killed KWAK.

- What did you say? - Stay out of this.

I hear you set up a game for some rich bastard.

I could ruin that setup.

Are you threatening me?

- Do you know who I am? - Of course I do.

But I also know you don't want your name in tomorrow's paper.

What a...

It must be unlucky day.

I'll think about it.

What more do you have to think about?

What'll you do to him?

Don't worry. I'll take him out of your hands.

Can't you go easy on him? - What?

I never figured you for the romantic type.

When did you get so soft?

I want 50% of the earnings.

Watch it.

You get 20%, I get 80%. Or else.

Or else what?

Tell the old man I'm a pro. I'll play for him.

Deal?

This man is here to help me.

Can he join? Is that okay?

Of course. As long as he got the cash.

Let's play with chips.

There's too much cash flying around.

If I catch anyone cheating,

I'm slicing off their wrists.

That won't be necessary.

Of course. Cut?

I've put my life on the line.

You think you'll scare me with that empty threat?

Ten million.

Let's go with 100.

Scared?

We're raising the stakes already?

I see your 400. I raise you.

- I fold. - Me, too.

I'm starting to get scared. Here.

You in?

You bet. Eight pair!

Oh no! I've lost!

It's all in luck.

Nine pair!

- Gwang. - Do I know you?

Think you can fool me?

I'll bet my right hand and my money

you have a card under your palm.

- What will you bet? - Why are you doing this?

- Uncle. - Yes?

No wonder you lost.

Oh.

Where's my hammer?

You can bet your ear instead. That's what One Ear did.

You're Agwee!

Grab him.

I'm going after Goni next.

No! Please!

Hello?

There's a cab standing out front. Come on out.

Hello? Goni? - Se-ran?

Gwang got hurt while playing hwatu.

- I don't know what to do! - Who told you?

These men here.

- Se-ran! - How've you been?

- What happened to Gwang? - Agwee took his right hand.

He won't be able to come to the phone.

Where's Agwee?

He's with Madam JEONG.

Your friend's dying, and your chick is here with us.

Don't hurt her. She means nothing to me.

Hello? Hello?

You said I don't know how to love.

You could be right.

If I ever come back,

I promise I'll never leave you again.

One ticket to Kunsan.

One-way or round trip, sir?

Round trip.

I'm going to kill Goni tonight.

The problem is the money. Watch out for Madam JEONG.

I'm going to make money tonight.

That's all we're after.

What about Goni?

Over here!

How've you been?

- Where's Agwee? - He's waiting. Get in.

We need to do a great job.

I put all my money in this game.

What are you going to do?

I'll play the traditional way.

There's nothing to be scared of.

There are no friends for life,

just as there are no enemies for life.

Everyone I know has been hurt or killed.

Did you have dinner yet? Could have been your last supper.

Shut up.

Don't fucking mess with me.

I've seen enough shit in this world.

We have a live one!

- Where's Gwang? - Why are you in such a rush?

You'll see him soon at the hospital.

Why don't we say the loser has to give up his right hand?

Sounds fun.

Captain? Take him to the back.

Ye-rim! They are so cruel.

You have to get off the ship!

Make sure your safe.

It's no use acting nice here.

We're in hell. You idiot.

It's every man for himself. Now get out of my way.

Fuck...

- Gwang! - Goni?

Are you okay?

It'll take more than this to kill me.

- Why did you come here? - To win money.

What about you?

To win money.

Just walk away.

I'll be back.

10. The Door Always Closes from Behind

- 400. - I fold.

- Uncle? - Yes.

- What do you have? - Three pair.

Four pair.

300?

I fold.

I see your 300.

I raise you 300.

- You can fold if you're low. - I fold.

Eight points.

Nine points.

We went through

- 400. - I fold.

- 300. - I fold.

- 100. - I fold.

- 20. - I fold.

Is that all you're going to do tonight?

What's it to you?

I'm worried you'll lose your hand.

That's so sweet.

Uncle, why don't you go play some baduk?

That's a good idea. Captain? Come play with me.

- I don't know how. - Let me teach you.

This game is for the pros.

Okay.

Show.

- Seven points. - Ten points.

I raise you.

That's all you won?

That's not enough.

Abracadabra.

- What are you saying? - Nothing.

- Abracadabra - That's what Mr. PYEONG does.

Finger!

You're the guy from the train!

How's Mr. PYEONG doing?

- He's dead. - How'd he die?

He fell off a train with his right hand cut off.

What a fantastic way to die.

- I fold. - I fold.

That's still not enough.

I should get my hammer ready.

A dagger slices the air. It stabs at my heart.

But my hands are faster than the eye.

Agwee gets cards from below the stack.

I get a card from the top.

- Trying to cheat me, boy? - What?

My cards came from below the stack!

You trying to fool me?

- Got proof? - Of course.

You gave me a 9 pair.

And you were about to give Madam JEONG this!

See this?

You wanted this to end as a tie.

That's a nice little story.

Ye-rim? Check the other card!

Don't touch it! Bring me the hammer!

- Do you have to do this? - Wait.

You really want to see blood?

This is how we roll.

Fine.

I bet you my right hand this is not a maple card.

You scared?

You messing with me, boy?

No talk and no action?

- You scared? - Scared?

Fine, I bet my right hand, too.

Tie us up.

You ready?

Let's check our card.

- It's a sakura! - A sakura?

I saw him take them out from the bottom!

Never make a bet unless you're damn sure.

- Well? Give me your hand! - Get him! Get him!

What's going on?

What is he doing?

Now all I do is take my money.

Captain. Untie Goni's hand.

Okay.

I'm fine. Get Gwang.

What should we do?

- Call the cops! - You think so?

Do it!

Wait.

Mr. PYEONG lost his right hand?

How did you know that?

It was just a guess.

- Wasn't it? - Why did you do it?

Don't yell at me!

Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this?

- Do it! - I can't.

Don't look at me like that. You saw how he treated me.

He treated me like dirt!

How is this a sakura?

You have to understand.

Let's get the money first.

You want the money?

I did this for you!

You wouldn't have come this far if you had stayed with Mr. PYEONG!

I only take half of my wins.
