This looks brand new.

I'm sorry.

- What are you going to do about it?

- I'm sorry.

Don't be so hard on her.

Don't worry.

This is waterproof.

- And?

- Ah.

He's a proud man.

Love sports.

He's 52, but he likes it

when you say he looks younger.

Idiot.

You could pass for

a man in his 40s.

I hear that all the time.

Do you play golf?

When did you get so good?

You'll win this round, too.

I hear you play cards

these days.

You can get back

your money from there.

- You gamble?

- I've only done it once or twice.

Men who like to gamble

end up rich.

- Isn't that right, Ye-rim?

- I wouldn't know.

He's got 10 billion won

in real estate.

Three buildings and 15 ships.

Wow.

He got money

in the Saemangeum land.

So he's got no cash up front?

Good shot!

That's a great shot!

Hit it, Ye-rim.

I think we're going to win.

It looks like it.

- What if I don't make it?

- A shot like this?

You'd be a fool to miss it.

It's right next to the cup.

Each acre will go for

That's...

- You missed?

- How could you miss that?

What's the matter with you?

It was right next to the hole!

That means you owe me 5 mil.

- Let's have one more game.

- Sure.

They said it's going to rain soon.

This sucks!

Is money that

important to you?

This isn't about money.

I just hate to lose.

I see.

I'm going to take a cab.

Ye-rim!

Ye-rim! Ye-rim!

I'm really sorry.

I've been horrible.

No. It's my fault.

You've given me new life.

- Let's make this last.

- Yes.

OK.

Tell him your husband is

going to play hwatu tomorrow.

Bring him along.

Make him join the game.

Make him win the first 2 days.

Give them 60 million won.

You'll bring him the money.

Tell him to be careful.

Make him do more.

Get him a little confused,

but not too much.

I see.

Let's get to it.

Finish this up by this week.

We have to leave soon.

The money is drying up.

When do we start work?

We've already begun, help them.

The gambler is here

for his audition.

Where?

- Back at the hotel.

- Okay.

That'll be all.

Send him away.

I don't like his face.

Bring Goni to me.

Do you think we need him?

He's got good looks.

He asked Raccoon to look for

PARK Mu-seok.

You mean

he's still in Seoul?

Tell Raccoon I'm coming.

Yes.

I really should quit smoking.

Life is tough, Goni.

How much?

Twenty?

You're raising it again?

Six pair.

You win again?

- This sucks.

- Well...

- Can someone start?

- Where you going?

- To pee.

- No.

You want to lose your mojo?

You'll get unlucky.

We can all go.

Have fun.

Hurry back.

Turn on the music, so we can pee.

He folded with a five pair?

Will you shuffle these?

I only have one hand.

He doesn't seem to

have much skills.

Who is this guy?

I'll give him a low score.

Let's start with 10 mil.

I'm so excited.

Because of Goni?

You interested in him?

I'm flattered.

- You are?

- Right?

I see you. I raise you 50.

You're dead.

I have about 100 million.

Should I toss it in?

Sure.

I've got a lousy 8 points.

Seven pair.

Give this money to the manager!

And write it down in the books!

How'd he get a 7 pair?

I gave him a 7 points.

Hey.

Let's play one more round.

I'm done.

This isn't over.

One more round.

You'll never beat me.

You a**hole!

One Ear?

I'm sorry

I didn't recognize you.

You changed the 7 points

to a 7 pair.

- You're good, too.

- I know.

It's lie.

But how can you tell

when someone's bluffing?

At what point do you know?

You need to read

the opponent's mind.

How do you do that?

I don't know.

Never look at the opponent's eyes

when you're bluffing.

What exactly happened

between you and Agwee?

I'm feeling drunk.

He cut off my ear for cheating

then cut off my hand for losing.

It's not a big deal.

This will happen to you, too.

- Where can I take you?

- Anywhere.

What about

Kyeonggi Province?

Or maybe

the pier by Yeonan?

- I don't care.

- Okay.

The pier, it is.

Wait! Stop the car!

Hey!

But...

I'll do it.

You look so pretty.

Are you kidding me?

Don't you like

how you look?

- I'll do it over.

- No.

- Forget it. Honey!

- What is it?

She can't do this right.

I'm a mess!

- What? Where's the manager?

- I'm so sorry.

- You don't like it?

- We'll do it over for you.

- Does she can do this?

- Yes, but...

Sorry.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Where's your bride?

- She's somewhere nearby.

- I see. Get him some coffee.

Okay.

Part time job?

For now. I'd like to open

my own shop someday.

I saw the bride

yelling at you.

Don't have enough skills?

I have skills.

The problem's with the bride.

I bet you have skills.

Did you spend

all night gambling?

I lost everything.

Wait, the scissors...

Remember how Goni promised

to pay our debts for us?

- Yeah.

- But...

He never gave

a dime to his family.

Do you believe that?

I'm going to see them

tomorrow.

You can't let a woman tell you

what to do.

You're one to talk.

You need to show them

who's boss!

Like I did with Se-ran.

- Gwang?

- Should I put eggs in your ramen?

Honey, come on.

Don't get your hands dirty!

Your hands...

Nice day.

So I give this money

to your sister or your mom?

You sure you're not coming?

Fine.

My uncle's a prick.

Try not to punch him.

I can't promise you that.

See you.

Hello. I'm KO Gwang-ryul.

Hello.

Goni sent me here.

What? You know my son?

- Yes.

- Goni?

He's busy with work.

He asked me to bring you

this money.

He had to stay behind

because of work.

- where is he?

- Great.

Is he doing well?

Of course.

He's doing too well, in fact.

Goni's got a job?

Hello.

You must be his uncle.

We work at

an export company.

Selling what?

We make those... Uh...

We make batteries.

This is all money?

Yes.

Ouch...

This kid's made huge bucks!

I'll go count this.

- Are you okay?

- Not really.

Got any extra pair of pants?

- Bring him a pair.

- Okay.

Tell me the truth.

Is Goni still

into gambling?

He's an honest man now.

- Mr. KO?

- Yes.

- Please take care of my son.

- Sure.

Don't let him go back

to gambling.

Here. Take this.

It's for the noodles.

Please, keep it. Please.

Goni's a good kid.

He's very hardworking.

He is so gentle man.

He must take after you.

And the boy's got balls.

It's not a bad thing.

That's a good thing.

He's popular with women.

Listen, please.

What am I saying?

One time, I was trying to

ask this girl out,

and Goni snatched her

away from me!

I could have killed him.

I'm just joking.

He's a good kid.

He won't trouble you anymore.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

Look what your uncle did!

Goni won last time.

Goni's going to play

a game against KWAK.

What's in that head of yours?

I can't let him go to KWAK.

Why didn't you tell me

about this sooner?

I didn't know

about this either.

I was looking for Mu-seok.

How much did Goni win?

About 400 million.

He can't play against KWAK.

I see you.

Hello.

I knew you'd find me.

You've gained weight.

Have a seat.

The chairs look

uncomfortable.

I came to ask you a favor.

You're starting to scare me.
