Those people seem not to care.

- I bet 10 million.

- You want to end it now?

You scared?

No. I see your 10 million.

- 10 pairs?

- Yes.

I've only got a 9 pair.

You're going to quit after

you get your sister's money?

I'll have to make

five times as much.

Will you promise to cut your finger

if you can't quit?

Sure.

Good. Let's go to Busan.

Who are we meeting this time?

Ever heard of

the Flower of Gambling?

Busan

Someone's here to see you.

Tell him to wait.

Tell him to come inside.

Just go in through that door.

Why haven't you been

in to see me?

Hold on.

I'll call you back.

How have you been?

Well. I've been living

the lonely life.

Why did you ask to see me?

I missed you.

You're a good liar.

Let's talk business.

He's a retired army general.

He's quite a gambler.

He's got a lot of cash.

He's got no skills,

but he's good.

Who's he? Your bodyguard?

He'll be playing tomorrow.

Is he that good?

Can't you tell?

- He looks too soft.

- You're wrong.

He challenged me to a game,

and he played me

by giving me a 9 pair.

Who? Me?

I could tell you were cheating.

You really are good.

Okay. Let's see.

What color are my nails?

Red.

But your hands are too soft.

You probably

can't play cards.

- He's good.

- You have no idea.

Let's review. Shall we?

If I rub my nose?

Fold.

If I touch my lips?

- Raise the money!

If I rub my shoulder?

Show off my panties.

You haven't changed a bit.

People don't change.

If I touch my stomach?

Double.

My knee?

Triple.

Look at those flowers.

What do those

look like to you?

Sakura. Three pair.

You're getting good at this.

You're not going out

for a drink?

I don't feel like it.

Why don't we...

Why don't we what?

Have a drink?

Hold on.

I don't care for drinks.

Don't be so rough.

Take your time.

Your lips are like

a wet rose.

That's sweet.

Sweet?

You think I'm sweet?

Mr. PYEONG?

I'd like to erase him from my memory.

You slept with him?

You have to be joking.

- Want to make some dough?

- Always.

You'll get your wish

if you work for me.

What about Mr. PYEONG?

He used to be good,

but he's long past his prime.

You'll get to ride a Beemer

if you work for me.

A Beemer?

What's that?

Want a watch?

Be careful when playing

against the general.

He's very calm. Conservative.

What should I do?

He's a man who hates to lose.

Toy with his mind.

I get him all excited?

Let's start.

Let's start with 2 million.

You're not

lucky today, General.

Sometimes you win,

sometimes you lose.

Let's go with 5 million.

Start the game!

Lalalalalala

Stop singing.

Does it bother you?

What's wrong with singing?

I won't look at my cards.

I bet 30.

Here.

Whatever.

I bet thirty more.

I fold.

I fold.

I need 20 more.

Do you accept collateral?

Sure. Want to bet your house?

Stay right here.

A .38 caliber Smith & Wessen.

What do you say?

Sure. Toss it on top.

Seven pair.

What do you have?

Wow! I can't believe I won!

Don't move.

- Go to the second floor.

- Yes, sir.

- Wait five minutes.

- Bullet, too?

At that moment, I realized

what it was I felt for Goni.

I wanted to make him mine.

The man came back in

just 3 minutes.

Just like I knew he would.

I can't let you

leave with my money.

Bring the boys...

Don't make a sound.

Don't even move a finger.

What are you doing?

It's always the guys you trust

who stab you in the back.

You don't think it was fun

to have a guy on the inside?

I don't gamble for fun.

Goni? Give me that revolver.

People like us must stay away

from things like this.

You have to go home

to your mother now.

Don't go, Goni.

Aren't you coming?

I'm coming.

Cut off your finger.

What?

I can tell you won't quit.

Cut is off.

Cut it off. And let's go home.

What happened?

Lost some money on hwatu?

You can't cut that off.

Want to bet?

Get out of here.

Someone will do the job for you

when the time comes.

Who do you think you are?

You want my name?

Wait a minute.

Why am I doing this?

I've been thinking.

You didn't cut it off?

Well... No...

We don't know if I'll go back

to gambling yet.

You still alive?

Don't worry.

I'll die one day.

I still have unfinished

business with you.

One day,

we'll get to finish it.

Scared?

Who is he?

Agwee.

Agwee?

Why didn't you cut it off?

Ah, well... Um...

This is the only way I know

how to make money.

Besides, I need to at least

get behind the wheel.

Take charge of my life.

Oh.

My bag.

Go.

Madam JEONG is a pretty knife.

Be careful when wielding her.

Last rule.

There are

no friends for life,

just as there are

no enemies for life.

This car's fantastic,

but it'll be too cold

for the winter.

Shake it.

Get used to the taste.

Here's your share.

What are you going to do

with that money?

It's a secret.

Seven.

All I need is a seven!

Would you look at that?

Seven pair!

What a lucky!

You're taking everything!

I've saved this for months.

We're about to lose all we have!

We should get out of here

before we go bankrupt.

What's this for?

Put in a good word for me

to Madam JEONG.

You need more practice.

Is he Madam JEONG's

new b*tch?

Learn to be humble, boy!

Thanks for the advice.

- Thank you!

- Your welcome! Take it easy.

- Thanks.

- Be careful...

Yeah.

Why did you go there

yesterday?

Where?

To the U.S. army base.

I was just bored.

I was looking for a high roller.

There was none.

I told you not to get mixed up

with other games.

You won't get a job

if you whore yourself out.

Don't worry, Ma'am.

You and I both know

I need a job.

Let's go to work.

This is going to be a big game.

Wear the other jacket.

You look good in cobalt blue.

Is that a fact, Ma'am?

Stop it.

How does a professor

have so much money?

It's his kid's hospital bill.

I fold.

I take 5 million won. Well?

- One pair.

- Oops.

Oh no.

Seven pair.

- I'm so sorry. This is too bad.

- You got all.

How did you do?

Sir? Have some coffee

in the next room.

Take a break.

Good job.

Cheer up. Sometimes you win,

sometimes you lose.

I have to win.

I'm sure you're feeling

the heat now.

Touch my tits.

It'll give you good luck.

Really?

Let's go.

Let's start.

This sucks.

I fold.

- Already?

I have a five pair. I win!

I'm sorry. I have an eight.

- I should go.

- Don't be so down.

Come back anytime.

We're always here.

Here you go.

Don't come back here again.

I'll kill you

if I see you back here.

Thank you!

- You want to win this time?

- Yes!

Good luck!

Not even God can stop him.

Don't bother, you and I both

went through that.

You went through that, too?

Tell me about your past.

I'd rather tell you my weight.

Then tell me your weight!

- Yes?

- Tell me.

- It's for you.

- Me?

Hello?

- Let go of me! Let go!

- You're bleeding!

Let go!

Bring Agwee to me.

Please!

You don't know it was him!

I won't let you go near him!

Fine.

I'll look for him myself!

Everyone he plays against

ends up dead!

You think I'll end up dead?

That's when I realized...
