I've started a new job in Kunsan,

but I have no players.

Why don't you come

with Gwang?

Hello there.

Oh! Hello!

I'll pay you 10 times

the amount from Busan.

Who is she?

I'm not strapped for cash.

Goni?

- Lunch is ready.

- Okay.

Hello.

Hello. Who are you?

I'm his girlfriend.

I heard a lot about you.

You did? What did he tell you?

You're not as chubby as

he said you are.

How are you two getting along?

It's hard to control

a man like him.

Love isn't about control.

You make a nice couple.

What's with this suit?

So childish.

Call me if you need anything.

I'm staying at the Jeonju Hotel.

See you.

Goodbye.

Who does she think she is?

B*tch.

- What is it?

- Do one more thing.

I need you to steal me a car.

For 5 million won.

Goni's car?

You left the money in the car?

This is awful!

I can pay you more than that!

Really?

Of course!

- I'll get the shirt.

- Okay.

- You take my pants

- Okay.

- What is it?

- Go home.

What?

Go home! Now!

A**hole.

Turn on the lights.

I was having fun.

We need to talk.

What's my share?

Uh... Goni?

What if KWAK finds out?

That's your choice to make.

Either he kills you, or I do.

I've got no choice. Do I?

How have you been?

Did you have dinner yet?

We don't always have

the time to eat.

- Have a seat.

- Thank you.

Let's run a check.

They're going to use

a camera on you.

Can I turn this on?

So no one

is tempted to cheat.

Don't turn it on!

- No!

It's just for precaution.

You never know.

- Just for precaution.

- How do I turn this on?

- And they'll drug you.

- Give it.

I apologize for Goni.

He's way too suspicious.

Want another cup?

No.

- We're so sorry.

- Forget it. Let's begin.

I start.

You know the rules.

No bluffing, no limits.

Let's go.

I have flowers.

I'm sorry.

- Seven.

- Eight.

One pair.

Three pair.

You might want to stop drinking.

Ten million.

I see you, and raise you 30.

Let's go with 100.

No limits.

You can fold if you're pissed.

I fold.

I'm not pissed at you.

Got a good hand?

You bet.

Then I'll see you.

I fold.

Seven pair.

I'm sorry. It's a push.

You want to take this back

or double it?

Double or nothing.

Eight.

I'm sorry.

It's another push.

Triple or nothing.

Cut.

I'll do it.

I've got a lousy hand.

I fold.

- Twenty.

- I have no money left.

- All in.

- Yes, sir.

All in.

- Check the money.

- Yes, sir.

- It's all clean, sir.

- Hold on.

Let's make this bigger.

I'm throwing in 500 mil.

We'll play again next time.

What did you have?

Nothing much.

One point?

You bet 500 million

with that?

Thank you for the money.

Hey.

You want to come work for me?

I'm not interested.

What's keeping Mu-seok?

What if they found out?

They won't.

I have to pee.

- Oh my goodness.

- You can go first.

Really?

I'll meet you at the cafe.

Should I start a business

with this money?

Yeah. I knew you'd laugh.

I'll see you later.

I can't endure anymore.

I have to pee!

They knew all our tricks.

There's a traitor amongst us.

Sir. It wasn't me.

Where's my money?

I knew you'd say that.

- What are you doing?

- Don't playing game!

Get these b*tches out!

Get the money.

You're still alive?

I'm here to buy the women.

With what?

- Money?

- Isn't that the rule?

You and I...

both play by no one's rules.

But we need to respect them

in some cases.

Wasn't that my money to

start with?

That means we have no deal.

In exchange, I'll work for you

for the next 2 years.

Sir, are you sure

you can trust him?

Let me ask you this, Yong-hae.

Can you put your neck

on the line, like he's done?

Of course.

What you laughing at?

You should have stayed away

when you had the chance.

Give me the phone.

- The money's all there?

- Yes.

- Get my car.

- Yes, sir.

Release the girls.

Do as I say.

Let's go.

What are you going to do

with Gwang?

I started this life

when I was 17.

I'm the only man

who's managed to come this far.

Want to know how?

By outsmarting the best ones

and killing off the traitors.

- Goni.

- Yes?

- Bum a smoke.

- Yes, sir.

Sir, the Olympic Highway

is a disaster.

Then take the Mapo Bridge.

Yes, sir.

Hey!

- Ye-rim?

- I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you return

my messages?

I had things to take care of.

- What kind of things?

- I'm sorry.

- You don't have to apologize.

- I want to see you tomorrow.

- Alright. I love you.

- Love you, too.

Kiss, kiss!

Get this out of the way!

And cover up the windows!

Who'd want to lose money

in a broad daylight?

Are you mad?

Trust!

That's important to us.

You are mad!

Ye-rim! Ye-rim!

Ye-rim!

Hey! Don't fix that!

Let insurance cover it!

Are you breaking up with me?

No.

Why haven't you come to see me?

- I can't tell you.

- What is it?

I played cards that night.

You did?

- Sotda? Gostop?

- Sotda.

Sotda? It's great.

I didn't know you knew

how to play that.

I'm usually calm but...

I get a rush

when I'm holding those cards.

- I was out of my mind.

- Gambling is not a bad thing.

Want me to get

your money back?

You can't get mixed up in this.

Those people are smart and rich.

Hwatu is about luck and balls.

If you've got balls,

you'll win the game.

The hardest part is

to draw him into the game.

Once he sits down,

it's easy to raise the stakes.

Before you ran away, right?

You seems strange.

You in?

- You?

- Of course.

The Bible says never miss out

on a game like this.

- Fifty.

- Wow.

Then I have to play by

God's Word. Fifty.

What do you have?

I see your fifty. Two pair.

KIM! Call Ye-rim.

Sir. You can't do this.

You're losing control.

Just call Ye-rim.

You lost all that money?

First, get his money.

He'll think he's losing

because he's got no cash.

That's why I'll lend him half

of the money up front.

- Sir.

- Go wait in the car.

Eight pair!

Nine!

He'll lose money.

- That money will come to me.

- Here we are.

Then I'll lend him

the money back.

The cash goes

round and round.

Wait! I'm in.

That way, no one wins.

Soon, he'll rack up hundreds

of millions in debt.

That's when I end the game.

I was on a winning streak,

but Mrs. CHO got lucky.

You lost 2 billion!

And not just that!

I know! I lost dollars, too.

That's not worth much to you,

- but that's all I've got!

- Okay! Okay!

I'll get it all back.

I'll loan 3 billion more

with my real estate

as collateral.

Would that be enough?

Don't you need

at least 5 billion?

Isn't is enough?

- You're right. What is gambling?

- Riding the waves.

Once I go down,

I'll come back up.

This time, I'm going to win!

Take care of yourself.

Good luck!

Good luck to you.

- Madam?

- Huh?

Do you have news on Goni?

No one knows where he is.

If you find him,

will you tell him I'm here?

Of course.

He'll come running

if he knows you're here.

Thank you.

- Bye.

- Thank you.

He will be dearly missed.

The seed that planted can't

alive unless it died.

The dead people's revival is

same as well.

He's here.

I hear

you're looking for Goni.
