Foolish Plan

---

1

In 1339,

Emperor Yuan Shun issued an edict

that canonized Qi from Korea as the Queen.

He ordered eighty-one craftsmen to build a set of

precious mirrors and gave them to Qi,

named the Dragon and Phoenix Mirrors,

which symbolized "Dragon and phoenix combine.

Peace reigns over the land."

In 1368,

Zhu Yuanzhang's army invaded the capital.

The Yuan Dynasty ended.

Queen Qi secretly fled to Korean and disappeared.

The Dragon and Phoenix Mirrors

have been missing since then.

Help!

No! Please stop that!

Please! Just stop!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Get out of here.

Don't gamble again.

Stop, stop!

Please! Don't beat me!

Stop.

Let's call it a day.

Finally. I'm exhausted.

Are you okay?

It's sour.

Let's get some sweet fake blood next time.

I'm Mei Dazhi from Hong Kong,

a less successful mid-aged man.

I went to Police Training School

and worked as a private detective.

On my worst days,

I sold Fish Ball Rice Noodles at the Causeway Bay.

Now I work for a casino in Jeju Island.

Chip exchange.

Money laundering.

Dunning.

While those are dishonest practices,

I'm good natured.

I married a girl called An Jing (quiet),

but she isn't quiet at all.

Instead, she got me involved

in an elaborate fatal scam,

which happened tonight.

What wish did you make?

It's obvious.

She wishes I love her all my life.

I hope your stock deal at HKEx this time

will be a success.

Where is the Phoenix Mirror?

Bai Chuxiong, I won't give it to you

even if you kill me.

Sister, you can't go back to Hong Kong.

Bai Chuxiong won't let you get off so easily.

All the documents were signed by you.

He set you up.

I know, but I can't hide from it.

We will get through this together.

Where do you put the money?

Just forget it.

It's too much.

You can't raise the money by gambling.

No.

Bai Chuxiong wants money, right?

Well, I'll take a chance.

I have been working in the casino

for so many years.

And what do I see?

Dog-eat-dog, breakup and ruthlessness!

I don't care. I have to do this for my sister.

Dazhi, if you Jove me...

If you love me, let me go.

If you love me, just let me go, will you?

They reason why I won't is exactly

because I love you!

You understand?

Mei Dazhi, let me out!

Mei Dazhi, let me out!

Do you remember

the letter of indemnity you signed at HKEx?

You didn't pay even a penny.

It's your signature

on the letter.

You set me up.

Don't be so childish.

If I file the letter of indemnity

to the court,

who do you thing the judge would trust, you or me?

You...

Listen to me.

Go to Jeju

find your student Zaizai

and get the Phoenix Mirror.

Then we'll be even.

I've got it.

Tomorrow night,

I'll send someone to pick it up in Jeju.

And we'll be even then.

Miss An.

Boss.

This is the deposit, three million.

Find a hit man for Chuxiong in South Korea.

An unfamiliar face.

No loose end.

Boss.

In South Korea?

Yes, because our target is in South Korea.

What a coincidence, boss.

I happen to have some men in Seoul.

Very reliable.

Perfect match makes it priceless.

To eliminate the troubles you have

to dig up the roots.

Got it.

When you get the Phoenix Mirror...

This is Cha Ki-Bum

from Seoul.

He claims to be the best film

makeup artist in Seoul.

A man having integrity and big dreams.

No bad habit.

He frequents

parties thrown by South Korean stars,

and are on terms of intimacy

with most A-listers.

Why did he come to Jeju to kill someone?

He has never made that clear.

It's so difficult to understand him.

No!

Oh, my money!

My eyebrow!

Oh, I'm sorry!

Wait a minute.

I'll fix it for you with the pencil.

What are you doing?

It's okay.

Cha-Cha?

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry.

You nuts!

Cha-Cha?

Cha-Cha?

Busted!

Cha-Cha!

Come here. Don't run.

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Cha-Cha!

This way, this way!

Stop! Don't do this to me.

Give me a break!

Wild laughter gives you decreased immunity

and accelerates the secretion of stress hormones.

Your hair will fall off in wisps,

and you will die within five hours.

Boss, boss, give me one more mouth.

One month?

No.

Fifteen days, and I will pay you back.

Fifteen days?

Five days. Five days will do.

Five days?

Yes, five days.

Hello, Myeong Cheol.

Thirteen.

I got a big deal for you.

Really?

One million Hong Kong dollars for a hit man.

One million Hong Kong dollars

is less than 150 million won.

Thirteen, even the price of pickles goes up now.

It's impossible to hire a hit man at this price.

Unbelievable.

So 500 thousand more.

I need an unfamiliar face.

Thirteen, here's the deal.

Two million Hong Kong dollars,

one million paid in advance.

I'll send you the world's best killer

to get the job done perfectly.

You can contact him personally.

Okay, deal.

What are you good at?

I'm a make-up artist.

I heard you speak Chinese.

A little bit.

Do something for me

and all debts can be cancelled.

Okay, okay.

Okay, I will do it.

But what do you want me to do?

Go to Jeju and kill someone for me.

Kill someone?

Damn it, you ruin my cosmetics.

Bummer.

Welcome.

Hello.

Someone booked a room for me.

A moment, please.

What a shame to kill such a pretty girl.

Bro, I've got the files.

1:
00 a.m. at the all in house.

Kill her when you get the thing.

Your boss has arrived at Jeju.

Collect money tomorrow.

Okay.

Well, don't be afraid.

These are the props for our filming.

Sorry for that.

Checkout for you now?

Seventy-eight thousand won.

So...

I'll get you two-thousand change.

We've got a customer now. I'll call you later.

Here's your change.

Pervert!

How could this happen to me?

You are...

You?

Where is it?

Where is my stuff?

Where is mine?

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Give it to me. Give...

Don't run!

Hey, don't run!

Hey!

Don't run!

Stop!

Honey, let's take a vacation

and have fun this time, okay?

So let's enjoy

our honeymoon.

Dazhi.

Thirteen.

Use your eyes, okay?

Damn it,

you ruin my cosmetics.

You look much more handsome now!

Guoguo, Guoguo, Guoguo, look.

A casino chip. How many zeroes are there?

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

What a windfall! God bless.

He is Hao Dongdong.

A Hokkien living in Beijing.

He owns an apartment and a car,

and is the best antique appraiser in Beijing.

Gamble is a commendatory term to him,

or at least a neutral term.

Boastful, romantic, wife-lover.

The first thing he does after marriage

is take all of his egg money

to travel with his wife.

But this time,

he happens to choose Jeju as their destination.

Honey.

For my Audi and your Dior,

let's do it.

Let's go.

I'm rich.

Awesome.

Here we go.

This way, please.

Thirteen.

I'll exchange the chips for you.

Okay.

Banker, banker, banker, banker.

Thanks.

Honey, do you have more money? Give me some.

That was all we got.

Dior? Audi? We can't even afford Oreo now.

Miss.

You have been winning.

How about

we follow you?

Please.

The jade ring in God of Gamblers.

Full jade green. It's precious.

You are an expert.

You bet.
