Original subtitles

First, memorize your card.

Once each player's card is set, the game begins.

Six-Ball is about lowering your points using 6 balls.

When the first shot hits the black ball

and then collides with the other colored balls,

points will be dropped.

But if you miss the black ball,

or if you hit multiple colors in the same turn,

then you lose your turn.

Avoid these mistakes to keep dropping points.

Your final total point has to match your card.

That's how you win.

But you'll lose if you can't match your score and your number.

Easy, right?

Sung-hoon, just help me out this one time.

It's a piece of cake.

No thanks.

Come on. Just once.

I said I'm not doing it.

Come on kid. I might lose my pool hall.

Please, you're my only hope.

Did you put up your pool hall in a bet?

Seo-kyung, you're here!

What's going on?

Nothing. Just about to order some food.

You hungry?

No, I'm ok.

Who the hell puts up their pool hall in a bet?

If something goes wrong, where can we practice?

That's why you have to help me!

With your skills, we can win.

Seo-kyeong doesn't know, right?

Of course not!

About what?

Oh, you know that restaurant at the corner.

This kid wants to order from there!

Bad choice, right?

Yeah, they're pretty bad.

Let's get going.

It's time for practice.

Oh... right.

Remember, hit the black ball first

and drop points by hitting colored balls.

Got it?

You listening to me or not?

Yes, I got it, ok?

I'm just making sure!

What is that anyway?

A bracelet.

It's Seo-kyung's birthday soon.

I'm going to ask her out.

Aren't you two dating already?

No. Not yet.

Tell you what. you win today,

I'll keep my pool hall, and you'll have the money for a date.

Really?

I give you my word. Just win.

Let's go.

Finally.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

How about a game with the pool hall as the wager?

I don't usually play for scraps.

Just this one time, then.

So, who's that next to you. A new recruit?

Recruiting talent...

Deep pockets, hmm?

If you're ready, should we begin?

You're in a hurry today.

Game's a foregone conclusion, anyway.

Hey! Set it up.

(2 Points)

Cards are set.

The game has begun.

Remember your number.

A bad memory's going to cost you.

Yes!

Wow!

All done?

Guess we're done here?

How about handing over our pool hall?

Impressive.

You've got nerve too.

But...

a little too hasty.

Checking the cards.

(5 Points)

Look!

5 points.

What? This wasn't my card...

Hey, mine was 2 points!

I told you to remember.

This can't be right...

Play again!

Something's not right!

You have money?

If you really want to try again,

bring a hundred grand.

I can't accept this! Damn it!

You bastards!

You piece of shit!

(Six Ball)

(1 Year Later)

Hello...

Still kicking and breathing, huh?

In-chul?

You eat yet?

How many zeros are there. One, two, three...

You went a little overboard?

Hey man, I got this.

How's the arm, by the way.

For everyday stuff, it's fine.

- It's just... - Can't play too long.

I can play

but my limit is 30 damn minutes...

So, your arm still starts to like shake after 30 minutes?

30 minutes...

OK!

What do you mean?

So you can play for 30 minutes, right?

So?

Let's play doubles and make some money.

Are you nuts? I'm no good with this one hand!

And betting games are...

Come on, give it a shot.

Wasting your talent is a god damn sin.

- You can't work parttime forever. - No thanks.

- Come on. let's team up and... - I said no!

You stubborn... Come if you change your mind.

I'll share the address. OK?

Let me know if you want to grab dinner again...

maybe something cheaper next time...

(Winning Player)

Where are you guys...

Hey you!

Give me something sweet.

Any big fish today?

Those boys seemed like big spenders.

- Hey, you got a light? - What the heck, man.

- You got a light? - Excuse me.

How about a game?

You okay with doubles? There's two of us.

You guys don't play singles?

You know, no money in singles.

That's true...

Hey, where were we?

- Thanks anyways. - No worries.

Hey, Sung-hoon.

Yes?

You know we're hardly making a profit these days.

And after paying out salaries, there's barely any left.

I'm really sorry, but...

- I can't keep you anymore. - Look, look!

- I'm sorry. - I play better than you!

You loser!

(Billards Club)

- Sorry for beating you again. - Shut up, we're not done.

Wow, you actually came?

Yeah, well...

Hey, bathroom break, alright?

I got a big one.

I don't care about your shit!

You can't back out now.

Can you allow my friend play instead?

- What? - No way!

Just this one game, alright?

I gotta go.

You got this man.

- I gotta go! - Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing?

- What? - It's your turn.

Ah... right.

You still got it huh?

Out of the game for a year but, you still got it.

I have to admit, it was fun.

Only that?

The payoff is not too shabby.

But I'm no use as I can't play longer.

So that's why I keep telling you to play doubles.

Win or lose in just one game!

And... Doubles is the moneymaker.

Hey.

What?

Can we make a hundred grand?

If you go all out, why not?

But why?

No... No way...

You're not going up against him, right?

Why can't we just play, have fun, make some money?

You in or you out?

Damn it!

Fine. I'm in.

But the split's 60 to 40.

I'm taking the 60, since I brought you in.

I'm taking the 60, since I play better.

Damn, are you serious?

Alright. 50, 50 split.

You better not lose.

I'm feeling up for another game.

Good, let's go make some money!

You seriously going to play against him?

Yeah.

You idiot!

Sir, sir...

Please, give me some more time.

Geez...

Why are people always begging me for time?

Hey.

You should've asked for time, not money in the first place.

You reap what you sow, right?

Put it in his mouth.

Please. Just a little more time.

Sir... Please...

You son of...!

I would stay very still if I were you.

An inch away might take your eyeballs.

It's make it or break it time...

Although, these moments make it more dramatic, right?

I wasn't actually expecting that!

Saw that? You guys saw that?

My deepest apologies, sir!

Final turn! Your last chance to get...

a draw... sir...

Damn! That was so close!

Too bad... You guys played really well...

So bad...

We'll be taking our winnings then.

That's a new face.

He's been showing up since a few days ago.

He's cute.

- Cigarette? - Gimme a pack.

Thanks, darling.

You mean, my players are struggling?

How much have they won?

- Around 30,000. - 30,000...

I think I need to talk with them.

Yes, ma'am. I'll bring them up.

Damn, we made bank today.

- Hey, we're eating steak tonight. - Cool.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

- Would you come with me? - Huh?

- Please take a seat. - Thank you.

Coffee? Tea?

Coffee for me, thank you.

Just water for me.

Coffee and water.

Right away.

Let me get right to the point.

How would you like to work with me?

Work?

Yes. I think you guys are qualified players.

You'll pay good for this?

I wouldn't be asking you if we weren't.

I'm in.

But 60 to 40 split. The bigger cut for us.

Confident. I like that.

Very well then.

Then, shall we discuss the first job?

What?

I don't know... I think you've changed.

How?

You... look the same...

But greedier, know what I mean?

Are you drunk?

Never mind. All good.

Going home?

Nah. Got some place to go.

See you.

Where you going? I'll drop you off!

Man... must be a girl.

Well, true that you should spare some time for girls, too...

Sir. Have you ever...

Heard of 'The legendary lighter?'

Huh? The legendary what?

That assassination attempt of Daeho Construction CEO...

That lowest-rank kid with the unknown...

That kid who took on 20 men...

Bull. Shit. Bull. Shit.

You're sick, trust me!

Get out of here, now!

Stupid lighter or whatever...

So? Got your money?

Yes.

Hmm. That was quick.

Your payment has been confirmed!

Ms. Seo-kyung Choi, aged 28.

The last time you saw her was a year ago?

Yes.

Noted.

Searches for urban areas carries a 20% surcharge.

And 50% if we find her a month in advance.

That's fine.

You guys do find people, by the way?

- You're cute. - Huh?

Anything that pays, we can do.

Oh... right.

So leave your case with Detective Puppy.

And wait.

Get home safe.

You're sick. Sick...

Happy birthday.

He's involved in trade business. Very easy-going man.

He loves any ball sports.

Among those, his favorite is billiards.

All of his players are women.

Not exactly world-beaters though.

We're going to keep the game casual, so relax.

- Go and count the money. - I'm sure it's OK.

You must always double check.

You think too good of people.

Do I?

- A dinner after the match? - I'd love to.

All done.

OK. Everything's good.

Let's play.

Should we do three sets?

One set!

It's only 30,000 dollars anyway.

As always, you make the right call.

Where do you find guys like them?

They're babies compared to your players.

OK.

Damn...

Missing on a setup like this is an insult to the sport.

That fellow is a bit of a showman.

Pretty good ladies, pretty good.

I'm just worried we might lose.

So close! You were almost there!

Hey. Why don't you just shut up?

My sincerest apologies.

That prick can't keep his mouth shut.

Let him. He's doing it on purpose.

But, it's getting on my nerves.

Well. Watch what I'm doing.

It's so hot.

Having trouble focusing?

Hey.

What are you doing?

Just getting ready.

A little too hard to handle?

Goddamn it. I really envy eunuchs.

Damn.

There it is!

You know that... Bel... bal...

Balance?

Yeah, to balance it out! Know what I'm saying?

Best game in a long time.

That one should be a comedian on TV.

It was just luck.

No, they were great! We'll play again next time.

Don't want to play more?

No, they're too good.

Can't beat 'em.

Let's go, ladies.

Thank you for the game.

- Well done! - Thank you.

You played really well too.

Thank you.

In-chul, you'd better watch yourself around girls.

That was my plan to...

And Sung-hoon, you didn't lose focus for even a moment?

I was impressed.

Talking about focus, I'm the one...

Ma'am.

You have a guest.

Excuse me. I have to go.

Absolutely!

Pretty good teamwork today, huh?

We were like a dream team.

We almost lost because of you.

It was all part of my plan.

Anyways. Tomorrow I...

Have some personal appointments...

- Hey, hey! - What?

- You listening to me? - Yup.

- I can't play tomorrow. - Why?

- I gotta go visit my dad's grave. - Uh...

I tried to skip this time but...

But they insisted on putting watermelon on the table.

(Ms. Kim)

Hello.

I don't think there's a bar around here.

You handle your alcohol really well.

Oh, thanks.

Why can't you look me in the face?

Do I make you nervous?

I've never had a woman here before...

I don't believe you.

Who taught you billards?

Some girl.

Girlfriend?

Just my doubles partner.

I bet she wanted more than a partner.

A man like you...

Anyone would feel...

what I'm feeling now...

Get down.

A professional player...

Get up.

Can't do better than your owner?

You. Go get the next one.

A girl...

Come here.

You idiot. You know I don't hire girls?

- She's talented. Give her chance. - You son of...

Sir.

I'm good.

Billards... And... Other things too.

Do you want to fix a game with me?

Fix?

Yes, for billiard games.

You can't fix billiards games.

You're really naive.

What's up?

About fixing billiards games. But he doesn't believe me.

You can fix games?

How innocent, both of you.

Let me give you an example using Six Ball.

After setting up the table each player picks a card, right?

So they switch the cards.

No. That's not it.

You have the opposing player pick first to gain trust.

Then where's the fix?

And

after the player checks his card,

the dealer switches the card.

Then, no matter what happens...

He can't win the game.

That scumbag.

Right, a scumbag... No, it's the girl.

Since the dealer is usually a female.

Hold on. I need to get this.

- Cheers. - Oh, right.

Hello.

How are you doing? This is Detective Puppy.

Yes, hi.

We found Ms. Seo-kyung.

You should've paid your debts before opening up a cafe.

Why are you asking me for it?

I didn't borrow it!

Your uncle did, but he's disappeared.

So, you're on the hook.

Leave before I call police.

Police?

Hey, young lady.

Remember, this is your last warning.

Understand?

Let's go.

Boss, are you OK?

Yes. Could you bring me some water?

Of course.

Where did Sung-hoon go?

He said he had to go see someone right away.

Really?

He normally wouldn't meet someone this late...

Might be a girl again, the prick.

What?

I'm just kidding.

See you next time.

Ma'am. There's a guest.

Who?

- Hi, Ms. Kim! - It's been a while!

What brings you here?

I was busy lately.

I heard that you've been playing some games.

Just for small stakes only.

I'm here to do you a big favor.

I met this man in Busan. He's a complete fool.

A total jerk but very rich.

He's coming to Seoul soon,

so I have a game fixed.

You're in, right?

What's the admission?

The game will be a cakewalk. But winner takes one hundred grand.

Hundred grand for one game?

- Boss. - Yes?

That man has been waiting for you for a while.

- OK. I'll talk to him. - Yes.

I'm so sick of this...

I told you to stop...

Sung-hoon!

It's been a while.

So you actually did find her.

So, how's she doing?

She's running a small cafe.

She's doing well for herself.

Maybe she played billard gamble too.

- Hey. Shut up. - Huh?

What's with the attitude?

Do you still have a thing for her?

I don't know.

But she looks even prettier.

Here's today's winnings.

Thank you.

I haven't seen Sung-hoon lately.

Quite busy maybe.

Where is he?

At the cafe.

For what?

Not much of a coffee drinker, isn't he?

You're here almost everyday.

You know...

I have a lot of time on my hands, that's all.

Don't throw trash away, sir.

Hello.

How'd you...?

Somthing wrong with me being here?

I missed you cause I haven't seen you in such a long time

I've got a big game,

so please answer when I call you.

Sorry. I was going to call you back.

Well, please do.

Have we met before?

I don't think so.

Really?

Guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

I'm Sun-young Kim.

I'm Seo-kyung Choi.

Seo-kyung...

Pretty name. Take care.

Seo-kyung Choi...

Damn...

Look up!

You scumbag!

Damn...

I said raise your damn head.

Bring that here.

Hey.

You thought you could fool me?

I'm so sorry. I won't do it again.

- I'll pay it all back... - How disgusting!

Please, give me a chance.

Hey, give me a cigarette.

God damn...

So annoying.

You have a pretty niece.

Seo-kyung Choi, wasn't she?

She's a good billiards player, right?

Please! Not my niece.

She's just a child.

Damn! Hold him!

I said, just put your fingerprint and your niece will be fine.

You understand me?

Finish him.

Such a nice day.

Didn't you say you have to go?

Let's stay here a little bit longer.

Seo-kyung.

Yeah?

What happened that day?

You just disappeared without even a call.

Just... things happened.

Something went wrong?

Just... nothing was easy.

Our pool hall was turned over to someone else.

And I didn't even know if my uncle was dead or alive.

Later, I found out that he had lost everything by gambling.

I didn't want to be anywhere near billiards.

But I'm over it.

I'm sure he's doing just fine somewhere.

Hang on.

Hey, Soo-jin.

What?

Sung-hoon's not answering?

No, he's not picking up.

He'll be here very soon, sir.

What happened to your player?

Could you buy me a little more time?

That bastard's already pissed off.

So now you even have time to go on dates?

What are you doing here?

Who's this, your husband?

Leave before I call the cops.

The way he threatens me is just like his little girlfriend.

Why don't you pay up for her then?

Why are you asking me for this?

You're definitely more excited than usual.

Let's wrap all this shit up by the end of the month.

Hello. Is this the police?

You wench!

- You scumbag! - Just leave him.

Why the heck did you bring a scumbag like that.

Hey, Miss.

Get the money before I get it by selling you off, OK?

Let's go.

Boss!

Are you OK?

You!

You out of your mind?

Why do you keep bothering her?

It was her uncle's debt, not hers!

That uncle agreed to have his niece take on that debt.

What did you say?

So you didn't know?

You want to know something funny?

She doesn't know that, right?

That her uncle's gone.

Don't lie to me, you scumbag. How do you know?

Hey, It's a small world.

If you wanna keep seeing her,

better have that money ready.

Here.

You better take it, prick.

Let's go.

You still don't know where he is?

I kept calling him but...

Let me try calling again.

Where have you been?

What happened to your face?

Something came up.

Could you excuse us for a minute?

Sung-hoon and I need to talk.

OK. Let's talk over the phone later.

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

Didn't I tell you that today was a big deal?

Things happened.

Were you with that wench?

You watch your mouth.

The first thing In-chul asked about was my face.

But you only care about money, right?

Mr. Yong.

How could you miss a big fish like that?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Hey.

Are you seeing someone?

What?

It's OK.

You can have a social life.

But...

If I let a fool run a gambling parlor...

Do your job properly, OK?

Stick to playing the small-timers

and give me a call when the stakes are higher.

Yes.

Let's have a drink later.

It's been a while since I felt your passion.

(Repaying the debt)

How much is it?

So the boyfriend does end up paying.

You better not show up again.

All we needed was the payment.

What did your girlfriend say about her uncle?

You're quite cautious, aren't you?

- We're done here. Let's go. - Yes, sir.

Call Ms. Kim that we got the money.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Kim? Sun-young Kim?

What? How do you know her?

It's OK. Go and wait outside.

Something wrong?

You look upset.

What did you do to her uncle?

What do you mean?

Seo-kyung's uncle, Min-kook Choi!

Did you kill him?

Watch your mouth. You're...

Shut your damn mouth before I kill you!

It's a misunderstanding.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I only did what I was told to do.

Also, I helped you out a lot, didn't I?

You're a piece of trash.

I'm going to make you regret this.

What's that wench to you anyway!

I need a player for a game coming up.

The target is a player, so I need someone really good.

This is a big one.

In-chul, where are you?

What a jerk.

Forget about him! He's not worth it.

So I need to ask you a favor.

There is one last piece that I have to take care of.

It's a singles game,

so only one will be enough.

I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out.

Could you?

Su... sure.

Thank you, In-chul.

Don't worry. I called a driver.

Did you... fight with Ms. Kim?

Why?

Never mind.

Ms. Kim has another big game on the way.

I'm out.

Hey, Sung-hoon.

- What happened to you? - Whatever.

Come on!

- Don't trust her. I Gotta go. - Hey! Hey!

What's wrong with the prick.

Whatever.

Don't worry about the stake and just play easy.

Damn it...

Darn it...

So close...

A lucky day for me.

How about another round?

Are you up for it?

You're too tensed up.

Was it because my girl was too pretty?

What do you think, Ms. Kim?

Wanna raise the stakes?

Just a moment.

Can you... win?

I was overconfident in this one.

Second time's the charm.

Let's raise it.

No way...

Such a shame. You played really well too.

One more round.

Are you okay? I think we need to stop.

No, I'm just getting warmed up.

I'm winning the next round for sure. Don't worry about it.

- But we're out of cash right now. - Huh?

How about we do this.

You take out a loan and play.

I'll front you the cash if we lose.

You are winning this round, right?

Let's do this.

I know you can do it.

Mr. Yong, you give out loans, right?

Mr. Yong?

In-chul!

Hey.

What's wrong? What happened?

Can I hide out at your place?

What happened? Tell me.

Mr. Yong...

Mr. Yong? Did you just say Mr. Yong?

I should've listened to you. I'm sorry.

Never dreamed something like this could happen.

Did you tell Seo-kyung about this?

No, she was already stressed out from the debt.

What should we do now?

We're going to do... what we've planned.

What plan?

Mr. Yong, that bastard is the reason.

I got back in the game.

What brought you here?

In-chul was your own player.

I didn't think you could go any lower like that.

You think I wanted this?

This is on you.

You... You!

It's because of you and that wench!

Whatever. Set up a game until tomorrow.

That's what you want, isn't it?

What's up? Something wrong?

What?

- Hey, Seo-kyung. - Yes?

Could you play doubles with me?

Billiards? Why all of a sudden?

It's...

You can't be serious...

You are not asking me to play betting games, right?

Sorry, I just can't. Get home safe.

You said you do anything for money, right?

I'm so sorry about your uncle.

Sung-hoon told me not to tell you,

but I think you need to know.

I think he went to play alone for us.

God, that idiot can only play for 30 minutes...

That boy with Min-kook, right?

Glad to see me?

Quite the coincidence!

That arm of yours still works?

Can you play?

I can play enough to crush you down.

The balls on this kid.

I love that kind of attitude.

You're by yourself? No partner?

No, it's two of us.

How...

It took me forever to find this place.

Tell me next time.

How heartwarming.

Once we win...

you better pay up.

This prick...

Don't worry. Just make sure you win.

Let's do it.

Impressive.

Your skills haven't aged a bit.

Can we switch out a player?

Why? You going to play instead?

How'd you guess?

You sure you can play with those fingers?

Are you alright?

I'm OK.

You can always just forfeit.

No way.

Wow.

Hey.

Heard you beat your players when they don't play well.

Since you play better than your players...

Let's go 1-on-1, me and you.

Are you crazy?

Or you can just forfeit.

I like this guy. So funny.

What game?

Six-Ball.

Ok. Set it up.

Don't worry.

How can I not worry?

Your hand!

It's already shaking.

Why are you laughing?

Just trust me.

What?

Are you OK?

What? You think I'm going to lose?

I was a pro player once.

- I'm well aware of that. - Then?

Something...

just doesn't feel right.

You know we always win with Six-Ball.

(1 Point)

What? Getting cold feet?

No way...

I've been waiting for this a long time.

I've thought about it.

I have lost my honor

and friends after that...

I think I need compensation.

But the pot's too small.

I won't look my card. Raise the stakes 5 times instead.

Deal?

Crippled in the arm and the head, apparently.

You in or you out?

OK. Deal.

Get the document ready so he can't change words.

Just remember your number.

A bad memory's going to cost you.

The cards are set.

A former pro make a mistake like that?

Ending the game in one go is too heartless.

You get to play a turn.

That should be fair, right?

How generous.

What if I end it right now?

You still don't get the picture.

Hey, there's a fine line between confidence and delusion.

Switching hands?

So you must bridge the cue with your right hand.

Right hand?

Yeah. Don't you switch it over to your right?

No way...

'Ski'?

Is there any cool way end the game with Six-Ball?

Like a hole in one in golf.

There is! It's called 'Ski'.

'Ski'?

Hit all balls in order at the first strike.

Game's over regardless of your point total.

But...

What?

It's basically impossible. No way.

Nothing is impossible in billards.

You just have to figure out the perfect angles.

Oh my god!

Why the long face?

Bring me 1 million, then I'll play you.

I told you to trust me!

I had no idea you were going to switch up the hands.

Just as I expected...

Hey! That was just a lucky shot.

Play one more round!

Lucky or not, I still won.

I'm going to kill you!

Bring that money back and play one more round.

Hmm... It's about time.

What? Time for what?

You're the lowest-rank kid here?

So what?

You with the bullshit again!

I'm sick of your bullshit!

You're late!

I'm so sorry, sir.

I hurried, but city traffic was murder.

Your mad upsets me!

Wait a sec.

One, two, three, four, five...

Six!

6 men, excluding the women.

That comes to 30,000.

What the fuck is this?

By the way, the person who just spoke up.

Make sure he can't use both his arms.

What?

Both arms?

Got it! I'll call you when it's done.

Ok, boys. Let's get to work.

My puppy, puppy, puppy,

puppy, puppy,

puppy, puppy.

You came.

The pool hall's doing well.

- Soda, please. - It'll be right there!

- Is this free? - Of course!

Sorry about what happened to your uncle.

I tried, but... I couldn't tell you.

I understand. You had your reasons.

Take this.

What's this?

A belated birthday gift.

Wow!

Put it on for me.

It's lovely.

- Seo-kyung. - Hmm?

Do you wanna play doubles with me again?

I understand if it's too much for you...

Sure.

Seriously?

We're a great team, remember?

But, after your treatment ends.

What? I'm fine now.

Not yet.

- I'm really OK. - No way.

- Want me to show you? - No, not yet!

- Seriously, I'm OK now! - Gosh!

- Why are you hitting me. - I said not yet!
