my Joong-man will certainly win

I lied to the TV producers

but he's been preparing to become

a professional athlete for a long time.

Mr. Lim?

Let's be honest.

You need that $200,000.

Here is $200,000

I don't need that

I'm not here to get

that petty money.

So don't think too hard.

You just need to hit few times

then let him win.

Did you pay off the other 6 players?

No. I'm not that rich.

Jae-seok and other 40-somethings

are just sidekicks.

You admit that too

Right, Jae-seok?

Are you going to chase

after the uncertain prize money?

Or take my certain $200,000

Make your choice.

Of all things,

think about your child.

Are you going to make your daughter

sleep in a restaurant?

Mr. Lim, you're a father, all right.

Deok-kyu.

You made money, huh?

Noodle shop owner makes it big,

a $200,000 overnight.

You got more to say?

You want some sort of fee

or something?

You've changed a lot.

Guess no one can win against time.

Mr. perfect Lim Deok-kyu

crumbles in front of money.

What do you want from me?

Isn't this what you want?

Let go.

We can fight at the tournament.

Frankly, I thought you'd refuse.

That's the Lim Deok-kyu I know

I can't ever do it,

but you can.

Are you embarrassed?

Then I'll try to finish

what you couldn't.

See you in the ring.

You did good

You made money anyway.

Long time no see.

How are your kids?

I'm a bachelor

Don't I look like a college student?

Lim Soo-bin.

You have to win.

Is this your daughter?

Soo-bin, say hello.

They are my friends.

Hello.

Is she your real daughter?

It's a live TV so focus.

Do you want to be the producer?

Maybe I should.

Standby.

They are your brothers and uncles.

They are your fathers.

Tonight's contestants are

regular people like you.

The Match of Legends will begin now.

Stop, stop!

A High Kick.

Mr. Lee is incredible.

There goes an arm bar

An arm bar.

Stop, stop! Stop, stop!

Game over.

That technique

I taught him that myself.

Final match of the first round.

The front-runner

Mr. Turtle, Choi Joong-man.

His opponent is the street fighter,

- Mr. Shin Jae-seok!

- The instructions.

No headbutts,

soccer kicks, and elbows.

Hey! Elbow!

E.L.B.O.W

Elbow.

To your corners.

The match begins.

A knee kick.

Choi starts aggressive

from the beginning.

Another knee kick.

Look at that.

Shin is putting up a pretty

good fight.

Shin is having a hand-to-hand

combat with Choi.

Choi throws in a choke.

Shin is in danger.

Let's end this.

Let's end it.

Come here.

You come here, come here.

After Shin miraculously holds up

the first round,

he has a different style

for round 2.

Wait.

- Referee is stopping the bout.

- A warning.

What?

Fight.

This is my strategy

Avoiding by running away.

That's right.

- Purely with strength,

- Fight.

Shin can't win against Choi.

Shin knows that

so he uses his head.

Now, Choi will take

a big physical toll.

Choi thought this was going

to be an easy win.

But he looks so exhausted.

No one imagined this fight

would go to round 3.

Fight

I'm Shin Jae-seok.

A warning.

What?

Cheer up, bastard.

It's the guillotine choke.

Mr. Turtle turns the game

around in matter of seconds.

This is Choi's best technique.

This one is hard to escape.

Shin desperately tries to get out.

He seems to be in a lot of pain.

- Stop, stop!

- A tap out. Game over.

Choi, Mr. Turtle is the winner.

The game went as expected.

But Shin put up a good fight.

Yes. He lost, but his intelligent

play was superb.

What are you doing?

I tried hard not to look so obvious.

Go Lee Sang-hoon.

Did you see?

He spent about

half of his strength on me

I know you'll lose

but I want you to know

Lee Sang-hoon vs. Yoo Tae-kyung

It's the first match of the semi-finals

Lee often uses kicks,

but he has yet to attack.

Yoo learned mixed martial arts

as a hobby.

He's cleverly using

his ground-fighting skills

Lee is holding up pretty well

but it's a tough fight.

Pounding by Lee!

Yoo is trying everything

to get close to the ground.

Closer he gets,

more damaging it is

Lee's middle kick hits

right on the spot

Lee's strike continues.

He grabs the chance

Lee is bringing out

his best techniques.

But Yoo counterattacks.

Can he reverse the situation?

Yoo's attack continues with

Kimura attack.

The situation has reversed

Lee is in dangerous situation.

A knee bar

Lee seems to be in a lot of pain.

Will the idol of 10 million white-collars

go down like this?

It's the triangle choke.

Yes. Lee gets in position.

- A tap out.

- Stop.

- Lee Sang-hoon.

- Bravo.

Lee Sang hoon to the Finals.

Mr. Park, I think Sang-hoon

went on the show for the money.

Raise $100,000 to his salary

and bring him back right away.

Yes, sir

I feel so lonely these days.

- Cheers.

- Cheers

Lee Sang-hoon,

the idol of white-collars.

He didn't let the 10 million

white-collars down.

He made it to the finals

I think Lee was injured.

Mr. Lee, are you okay?

Where does it hurt the most?

Is it your leg? Your knee?

I'm okay.

Are you going to make it

to the finals?

I'm fine.

That's good.

Between Choi and Lim,

who would you like to fight

at the finals?

It doesn't matter.

Is it because you're confident

that you'll win?

Yes, I'm here to win.

He's so cool.

- He's a man.

- That was Lee Sang-hoon!

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

- We need paramedics.

- Step back.

Mr. Lee.

What's wrong?

Take emergency measures

He needs to go to the finals.

Shouldn't you go see a doctor?

It's okay, I'm all right.

You want to fight with

a body like this?

You want me to give up?

$200,000 must be a lot of money.

It's not about the money

I want to fight fair and square

till the end.

Sang-hoon, you're awesome

You're different from someone.

You know the Turtle

will go to the finals.

If you go up against like that,

you could die.

He won't let you get off easily.

Second match of the semi-finals.

The highlight of tonight's tournament.

With a face of the Grim Reaper.

The best of the best

The Turtle.

Mr. Choi Joong-man.

Mr. Lim You need to go up.

Yes, Sang-hoon.

You can't fight the Turtle

in this condition.

Give up and go to the hospital.

Why do you only think

the Turtle will win, bastards?

Deok-kyu, don't you have

any self-confidence?

Are you that scared of the Turtle?

Scared?

Mr. Lim Hurry.

Jae-seok.

This is an exciting match.

The Grim Reaper

vs. the Devil himself.

Two best fighters of

Legendary Fighter.

It might end as soon as it starts

so stay alert

I bet on Mr. Turtle.

Round 1 begins.

Fight.

They're engaging in

reconnaissance.

During the first round,

he used a lot of his strength.

But Choi still seems relaxed.

Hit me.

Choi is provoking Lim.

Lim should not play into

Choi's scheme.

A left high kick.

Choi pushes Lim back with punches.

A strong take-down.

And a choke.

Lim is in dangerous situation.

Aren't Choi's ground skills superb?

It won't be easy to

get out of that hold.

Is the bout going to end like this?

Lim fights back with all his might.
