- I want revenge.

- What for?

KWAK wasn't

your father or anything.

You can't think

of this as revenge.

Revenge is much too kind.

It's making a money.

This is a quest for blood.

I have to go home to my son.

Don't let them go anywhere

until Goni gets back.

- Watch them!

- Yes, sir.

It's me.

Meet me inside the cab

that pulls up at 5 o'clock.

I'm sorry about all this.

You look prettier with

your hair down.

- Keys to Goni's car.

- Thanks, Raccoon.

All I need is my money.

Give him 10 million in cash.

I have news on Agwee.

I'm tired of hearing about him.

Mr. PYEONG fell off the train

somewhere near Kangkyung.

But Agwee got off before that.

He got off near Nonsan.

That means he wasn't the one

who killed Mr. PYEONG.

There was someone else

in that train.

Who?

I'm not sure,

but there was a witness.

You miserable f***!

He told me the killer had

a gold plated tooth...

Why...

Why?

Mr. PYEONG...

That a**hole ruined my life.

He turned me into this mess.

I'll leave the money.

The house is closed tonight?

- It's been a long time.

- Yeah.

It's very simple.

Bring Goni to me.

No.

Sweetheart.

You gotta do this for me.

There's no evidence to prove

he killed KWAK.

- What did you say?

- Stay out of this.

I hear you set up a game

for some rich bastard.

I could ruin that setup.

Are you threatening me?

- Do you know who I am?

- Of course I do.

But I also know you don't want

your name in tomorrow's paper.

What a...

It must be unlucky day.

I'll think about it.

What more do you have to

think about?

What'll you do to him?

Don't worry.

I'll take him out of your hands.

Can't you go easy on him?

- What?

I never figured you

for the romantic type.

When did you get so soft?

I want 50% of the earnings.

Watch it.

You get 20%, I get 80%.

Or else.

Or else what?

Tell the old man I'm a pro.

I'll play for him.

Deal?

This man is here to help me.

Can he join?

Is that okay?

Of course.

As long as he got the cash.

Let's play with chips.

There's too much cash

flying around.

If I catch anyone cheating,

I'm slicing off

their wrists.

That won't be necessary.

Of course. Cut?

I've put my life on the line.

You think you'll scare me with

that empty threat?

Ten million.

Let's go with 100.

Scared?

We're raising the stakes already?

I see your 400.

I raise you.

- I fold.

- Me, too.

I'm starting to get scared.

Here.

You in?

You bet. Eight pair!

Oh no! I've lost!

It's all in luck.

Nine pair!

- Gwang.

- Do I know you?

Think you can fool me?

I'll bet my right hand

and my money

you have a card

under your palm.

- What will you bet?

- Why are you doing this?

- Uncle.

- Yes?

No wonder you lost.

Oh.

Where's my hammer?

You can bet your ear instead.

That's what One Ear did.

You're Agwee!

Grab him.

I'm going after Goni next.

No! Please!

Hello?

There's a cab standing out front.

Come on out.

Hello? Goni?

- Se-ran?

Gwang got hurt

while playing hwatu.

- I don't know what to do!

- Who told you?

These men here.

- Se-ran!

- How've you been?

- What happened to Gwang?

- Agwee took his right hand.

He won't be able to

come to the phone.

Where's Agwee?

He's with Madam JEONG.

Your friend's dying,

and your chick is here with us.

Don't hurt her.

She means nothing to me.

Hello? Hello?

You said

I don't know how to love.

You could be right.

If I ever come back,

I promise

I'll never leave you again.

One ticket to Kunsan.

One-way or round trip, sir?

Round trip.

I'm going to kill Goni

tonight.

The problem is the money.

Watch out for Madam JEONG.

I'm going to

make money tonight.

That's all we're after.

What about Goni?

Over here!

How've you been?

- Where's Agwee?

- He's waiting. Get in.

We need to do a great job.

I put all my money

in this game.

What are you going to do?

I'll play the traditional way.

There's nothing

to be scared of.

There are

no friends for life,

just as there are

no enemies for life.

Everyone I know has been

hurt or killed.

Did you have dinner yet?

Could have been your last supper.

Shut up.

Don't f***ing mess with me.

I've seen enough sh*t

in this world.

We have a live one!

- Where's Gwang?

- Why are you in such a rush?

You'll see him soon

at the hospital.

Why don't we say the loser has

to give up his right hand?

Sounds fun.

Captain? Take him to the back.

Ye-rim! They are so cruel.

You have to get off the ship!

Make sure your safe.

It's no use acting nice here.

We're in hell. You idiot.

It's every man for himself.

Now get out of my way.

F***...

- Gwang!

- Goni?

Are you okay?

It'll take more than

this to kill me.

- Why did you come here?

- To win money.

What about you?

To win money.

Just walk away.

I'll be back.

Closes from Behind

- 400.

- I fold.

- Uncle?

- Yes.

- What do you have?

- Three pair.

Four pair.

I fold.

I see your 300.

I raise you 300.

- You can fold if you're low.

- I fold.

Eight points.

Nine points.

We went through

- 400.

- I fold.

- 300.

- I fold.

- 100.

- I fold.

- 20.

- I fold.

Is that all you're going

to do tonight?

What's it to you?

I'm worried

you'll lose your hand.

That's so sweet.

Uncle, why don't you

go play some baduk?

That's a good idea.

Captain? Come play with me.

- I don't know how.

- Let me teach you.

This game is for the pros.

Okay.

Show.

- Seven points.

- Ten points.

I raise you.

That's all you won?

That's not enough.

Abracadabra.

- What are you saying?

- Nothing.

- Abracadabra

- That's what Mr. PYEONG does.

Finger!

You're the guy from the train!

How's Mr. PYEONG doing?

- He's dead.

- How'd he die?

He fell off a train

with his right hand cut off.

What a fantastic way to die.

- I fold.

- I fold.

That's still not enough.

I should get my hammer ready.

A dagger slices the air.

It stabs at my heart.

But my hands are faster

than the eye.

Agwee gets cards

from below the stack.

I get a card from the top.

- Trying to cheat me, boy?

- What?

My cards came from

below the stack!

You trying to fool me?

- Got proof?

- Of course.

You gave me a 9 pair.

And you were about to give

Madam JEONG this!

See this?

You wanted this to end

as a tie.

That's a nice little story.

Ye-rim? Check the other card!

Don't touch it!

Bring me the hammer!

- Do you have to do this?

- Wait.

You really want to see blood?

This is how we roll.

Fine.

I bet you my right hand

this is not a maple card.

You scared?

You messing with me, boy?

No talk and no action?

- You scared?

- Scared?

Fine, I bet

my right hand, too.

Tie us up.

You ready?

Let's check our card.

- It's a sakura!

- A sakura?

I saw him take them out

from the bottom!

Never make a bet

unless you're damn sure.

- Well? Give me your hand!

- Get him! Get him!

What's going on?

What is he doing?

Now all I do is take my money.

Captain. Untie Goni's hand.

Okay.

I'm fine. Get Gwang.

What should we do?

- Call the cops!

- You think so?

Do it!

Wait.

Mr. PYEONG lost his right hand?
