have no f***ing morale.

Don't people get a bit aggressive

when they get drunk?

Right, M r. Park?

That's true, President Son

Mountain man wore a cloud hat.

He flew like a butterfly.

He approached quietly.

Which room is it?

It's room number one.

Go bring the boss.

Yes, sir.

Sang-hoon!

Yes.

Take care of it.

The cumulative prize

money of $40,000.

He has won second time in a row!

Going for the $60,000 is Mr. Choi

Joong-man also known as Mr. Turtle.

Mr. Turtle is dominating the match!

He's got superhuman strength!

He tramples all over his opponent!

Get up!

- Is he really an office worker?

- Get up!

He looks like a professional athlete.

How could you compare him to us?

A finishing blow!

For the first time in this program,

he's going for the third win!

Wait!

Isn't a soccer kick against the rule?

Mr. Turtle!

- Please stop.

- Stop, stop!

What's wrong with him?

He ignores the referee!

Mr. Turtle is going berserk!

- Hurry and stop him!

- Stop, stop!

He's brutal!

This is not a bout!

Choi is trying to infflict pain

on his opponent!

This is an insult to the sacred ring!

He's no legend.

He needs to be disqualified!

He loses by disqualification!

Choi fouls and loses his chance

to win the third win!

Choi Joong-man loses by disqualification.

There goes his $60,000!

Sadang High Legend.

Mr. Lim, you're a true man.

What?

You're very manly.

Hello.

Hello.

- Please follow me.

- Okay.

Are you a national representative?

Something like that.

Let's shake hands.

I'm Seo Kang-kuk.

Lim Deok-kyu here.

You own a business?

Yes.

A restaurant?

What?

I can tell a lot by

looking at a person.

Let's talk about that later

and start the fight.

Fight!

Seriously.

I was a member of

the National Intelligence Service.

Why don't you believe me?

Isn't National Intelligence story

going a bit too far?

Can you get the

content rating approved?

Interesting. We can omit

that part for the ratings board

I'm the victim of the power struggle

of the National Intelligence Service

I was always proud of my job

and got axed suddenly.

Why should the agents get fired

when a new administration comes in?

Do we live in the 1970s

like the Silmido soldiers?

You keep saying that

you were a secret agent.

What do you exactly want?

I want my job back or compensation.

I need to live too!

Why don't you tell that

to the National Intelligence

instead of this program?

They won't let me!

Mr. Seo.

Yes.

What did you do at the National

Intelligence before you got fired?

It's confidential information.

I can't tell you.

Shoot!

His Taekwondo moves

are very collected.

And he gets hit

like the collected person he is.

If he really was a secret agent,

I'm worried about our national security.

A very strong jab in the abdomen.

It was a big impact for him.

The legendary national intelligence

agent is going down!

Give it up!

Mr. Seo, give it up.

He is holding up Mr. Seo

I said, give up!

He's still doing okay.

Wait. What is that?

Mr. Seo. Where are you going?

Mr. Seo!

Was this show a comedy genre?

I didn't scout you with a big salary

to do comedy.

Don't edit any of the National

Intelligence story and just go.

The National Intelligence will understand

that we did it for the entertainment.

Yes. Let's go to next contestant.

You used to make such

highly rated programs on broadcast TV.

But now, your show continuously has

only one ratings point at our network.

We feel somewhat insulted.

Who's next?

Here we have our last contestant

of Legendary Fighter.

Name is Lim Deok-kyu.

He is 43 years old

and owns a noodle restaurant.

He was a legend at

Sadang High and took

control of Dongjak

district 25 years ago.

The charismatic Legendary Fighter

steps into the ring.

Fight!

Mr. Lim used to be an amateur

boxer up until high school.

Mr. Lim was a boxer

not a martial arts athlete.

A low kick!

Look at that low kick.

There's nothing like that in boxing!

Mr. Lim seems so lethargic.

Referee, tighten it up.

The show is getting too loose.

Fight!

Mr. Jung! Hurry and finish him!

What just happened?

Our Jung Sang-ho,

the middleweight

champion is down!

Jung is okay. He's fine. Go!

A left hook! A left hook!

Right uppercut!

Down!

Jung is down again!

The contender who came for

a verification of his fighting skills

knocked down our

professional athlete!

This is unbelievable!

- Is Jung okay?

- Holy sh*t!

Mr. Jung! Jung Sang-ho!

Jung. Get "P!

After one hour, we'll tape the show

Are you going to be okay?

I think one hour will be enough.

Let me see

I'm okay

I think you got it worse than me

I told you I have conviction about you.

Please hold back the pain

and win one more game.

For $20,000

and for the TV ratings

I don't care much about the ratings.

If I win, can I get the money

right away?

On the spot,

in a white envelope.

The contestant won by disqualification

I think Mr. Lim has over 95%

chance of winning.

Your show appearance pay

will be transferred to your account.

So hurry and go home.

That was from two weeks ago.

There was a new winner

from last week.

Who is that?

The National Intelligence agent

doesn't know?

Do they have to know everything?

What?

For the prize of $20,000,

a match between two legends.

Mr. Shin Jae-seok knocked out

Mr. Yoon Sung-jin

and won $20,000.

Will he win against the unprecedented

Mr. Lim Deok-kyu?

Mr. Shin said he never

played any sports.

But as seen last week,

he is animalistic

and has instinctive fighting skills.

Here are the instructions.

Long time no see.

Now you recognize me.

Stop talking to each other.

No headbutts, soccer kicks,

elbows.

Elbow?

Elbow strikes.

To your corners.

I'm Shin Jae-seok

from South Seoul High.

Coming on the show like this.

Your life must be pretty shitty.

Let's get this over with.

I think the two just

talked to each other.

It was probably something like

"let's not get hurt".

Shin's attack continues!

A take-down!

He's showing superb skills today.

Will Lim survive today?

Did Shin learn martial arts?

He looks like a real fighter.

Understand

I just need the money.

That's not right.

Headbutts and elbows, which can

cause injuries, are forbidden.

This is not the back alley, Mr. Shin.

That's a warning. No headbutts!

Cut!

Cut!

Stop, stop, stop!

Cut!

That's a cut. Cut!

What?

We can't have that many tattoos.

We can't air this.

Why not?

Kids these days love these!

Mr. Shin, do you want to

advertise your gangster days?

That's our money.

So you follow my rules.

Edit the scene when he takes the shirt off

and go from where they go again!

This is how I've been doing.

Fight!

Lim corners Shin!

A ceaseless stream of punches!

This is dangerous for Shin!

A left hook!

A right hook!

A left hook! A right hook!

Continuing left hooks!

Stop!

Referee stops.

Referee stops the bout.

Lim is the winner!

He is awesome!

After knocking out

a professional athlete,

he perfectly vanquished
