(TAZZA: One Eyed Jack)
Down card!
(20 years later)
- Good luck. - Gosh, man!
Hurry up.
Fold!
You coward, always cowering away...
What am I to do?
What's half? About 20?
Raise 20.
I'm out.
I'll see your 20
and raise you 40.
Here's 40, and all in.
Shit, the pot's huge.
What you got?
Whatever, this is my last game.
So it's about 50?
Here you go.
Take the pot if your hand is higher than a two pair.
What? You only got a pair?
You went against four of a kind with a pair?
What do you have? Is it a flush?
For real? It wasn't?
As I promised, that was my last game...
Wait.
I'm getting a little suspicious.
How did you know I was bluffing every damn time?
Come on, that's a trade secret.
Fine, fine.
Here, $1,000.
Explain to me how you looked through my bluffs.
If I can't explain it?
Then I'll get the Beard to show me the cam.
You damn bitch!
Come on, man.
You got a habit...
- Habit? - Habit is a scary thing.
When you get a down card,
you squeeze your cards when you're after a rank.
You squeeze them differently when you got nothing.
When the down card is shit,
you got nothing. Now you've got to bluff.
That's when you prep to bluff and place your cards ever so elegantly.
So serious.
But if you have a made hand,
you scatter your cards.
It's way too predictable.
But more decisively, your rhythm is different.
- Your betting rhythm! - What?
When you have a made hand...
- Give me a call. - Call.
One, two, three, call, like this.
If you got nothing,
you're half a beat late or early.
That rhythm.
Does that explain everything?
You're a tazza!
I'm late for class. Here, this is your tip...
Wait.
Let's play again next time.
I'm going to make you regret what you just told me.
Dude.
Do you think I told you everything?
(1. Doh Il-chul)
Here, here.
You crazy bastard.
How much did you win
with a 50-cent ante?
If you're desperate enough,
stars align themselves to help.
Wait, what's that? What is it?
It's nothing.
You can't play with cash!
I know, man!
You never listen!
Why doesn't anyone ever follow the rules?
He nags and nags...
How much?
Hold on, I'm not an AI. I've got to calculate it.
$3,574 minus time charge and table charge,
so $3,193.
I'll knock off $93 to even it out...
Wait a minute!
Why would you round down?
It's not like we rubbed our bellies.
You punk,
stop being a cheapskate!
Gamblers must be innately generous.
Be broad-minded, got it?
To hell with that! I bet my life to win all that.
I almost got my ass handed to him earlier.
Don't skim off anything!
$3,190 and what?
$3, asshole.
$3,193...
I passed $10,000 in winnings.
If you had used your grit to study,
you would've passed the civil service exam.
Who studies with grit nowadays?
Then what? Your brain?
With this, old man.
Then again, you've never studied.
Look, those born into money start off differently.
(Ivy League admission scandal investigated by the prosecution)
Born to wealthy parents,
they get tutored up the ass,
and study abroad too. Those bastards.
How could I compete with pricks
who can get into any school?
I'm not born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
So you resort to gambling?
What's there not to love about it?
Silver spoon or not,
we all play with 7 cards.
It's a worthy fight.
Holy shit!
How could you swear in front of your mom?
You should've said you were coming.
Why did you turn off the light?
I knew you'd be studying.
Calling ahead would disturb you.
What about the diner?
I closed up early.
Why? Did something happen?
To make you some food.
Why did you make so much? I got nowhere to put...
Glass noodles?
Wow...
It's good!
Are you doing well?
I'm studying hard. Don't you worry.
That's all I ask.
- Leaving? - Yeah.
Jesus Christ...
Mom!
It's really late.
First buses run now.
I have to open the diner.
Close up for a day. You're not going to make that much anyway.
That much?
Son, we live off that diner.
And you think I do this just for the money?
I got regulars who come every single morning.
That's a promise between me and them.
It may be trivial,
but one must keep promises!
Your irresponsible deadbeat dad...
All right, fine.
I wondered why you didn't bring that up...
Mom...
(Doh Il-chul)
Whatever. Okay, fold.
To hell with it.
Civil service exam isn't all that.
I can pass it. No problem.
Make it or break it.
n x + 2 = 0.
Square root of this, so with this,
what should you solve this with?
Approach it with the relation between roots and coefficients.
So when we're given alpha n and beta n,
alpha n + beta n = 3n/-1.
- Then beta n would be 2/1. - What the hell...
Then, on the other side,
when sigma alpha n and beta n are given to us,
by reducing them with fraction, you'd get 11 45s by...
The exam's coming up soon.
This exam may not be
the surefire card for your life,
but it's not a bad bet either.
Don't feel too pressured about the exam.
Everyone, call!
- What the hell! - Dang, full house.
What? Shit.
I keep getting full houses. Should I be in real estate or what?
Did you hide a card?
It's nothing like that. I'm playing honestly.
How does he get a full house so easily?
Go wash your face.
Just deal, man.
Hey.
What? Me?
Want to go get some food?
Food?
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
Who are you?
Shit...
And you are?
- You a student? - Yes.
A student shouldn't be at a place like this.
You're not my teacher or something.
I play really well.
Give me your hand.
What? My hand?
Give me your hand.
That's so random...
Asking for my hand?
So embarrassing.
It's rough.
And warm.
You can't gamble with these hands.
Stick to studying.
Do you know how much I won today?
You don't know shit. You shouldn't say that.
I just lost $100,000.
The moment you think you got it, that's when you're in danger.
It goes for both gambling and relationships.
You seem to look down on me.
We're not friends yet, you know.
- What the... - You there!
- What? - You've got to pay.
Everything's in my way today...
2 ox bone soups, 1 soju,
- You son of a bitch! - $18.
My card, give me the card first.
Take care.
- Here. - Check.
Check.
That's no big deal!
You just lost your house!
It's all over!
- It's botched up! - I'm shit out of luck!
How much is this?
Buddy!
Yeah?
Fold.
Shit...
Hey!
You idiot!
Do you know how much this door costs?
What are you going to do about it?
Are you glaring at me? Look at me nicely.
How much is it?
What?
How much is this damn door?
Look at this punk ass.
Just a little pup.
My heart's beating so fast.
That's enough.
Pup.
If your balls get bigger and you feel like a big man,
you'll get jacked up, got it?
Goddamn pup.
What is it?
You know him? Someone you know?
Call.
Call, fold.
Open.
How much is the door?
Bastard!
It's a Mercedes, so it's a bit pricey.
I say the door is about $10,000.
That's good.
My bike is also about $10,000.
Good, very good.
Let's do it this way.
Each play with $10,000.
Whoever wins can get
a new door or a new bike.
- Up for it? - That's no good at all.
I'm owed the dinner tab too.
$18.
Eh? Did you two do something?
I'll skip the tab.
But if I win, let's go on a date.
You did, you little brats.
Do you even have $10,000?
Do you?
Punk, the ante is $100.
Our lovely Madonna will deal,
okay?
3 spades.
Toss the 6 clover and go for a flush.
The probability is 21.4%.
1 pair with 10.
I don't know about this...
- Ante. - I'll see you
and raise 20.
4 cards drawn with a pair of 6's.
I just burned a 6.
Two pairs?
Or three of a kind?
I call your 20.
Odds of making a four flush with five cards, 35%.
Hit hard!
Raise 40.
40?
This will be over in the first round.
I'll see your 40 and raise 80.
He raised it? Three of a kind?
Call.
Interesting twist.
6 is a goner, high 2 pairs at the most.
Full house odds, less than 5%.
- Half. - Half?
For real? Are you kidding?
Take this and go full.
He'll hit me to death, is that it?
He's bluffing,100%.
Call.
Down card.
Spade...
Spade!
Everything.
All in.
All in?
All in, eh?
Call!
Ace high.
It's a flush.
Bad news for you.
- You came on a down card? - Why?
Did your balls shrivel up because I caught your bluff?
This is why I hate poor people. They're too honest.
With a decent hand, they're desperate to win money.
You think I can't see your hand? You dimwit.
Full house for me.
Don't give me that bullshit...
There's no 6.
6? What about it?
Triple twos.
Full house with triple twos.
(Creditor: Park Yong-pal Debtor: Doh Il-Chul)
No matter how I look at it, this is all wrong.
I'm already in.
Il-chul!
I've seen countless guys who get jacked up!
This isn't right!
Let go of me!
Goddamn...
Gambling debt will ruin you!
Don't be like that. We're in the same business.
So? Cancel it?
I can win, dude.
Is this over that girl?
- No. - Then why?
Why go this far?
I don't know!
I don't know shit.
I was only thinking of the 6 pair.
I burned a 6...
Two!
And held one...
But how could he raise
on a pair?
Eh? It's a full house.
He got that from a down card. How?
No...
I was the one who went nuts over a four flush.
Fold.
He probably knew it then, that I was bluffing.
You should call it quits.
I have to win.
Hey.
This is not a joke.
Bitch.
You had to give me a shitty hand.
Why do you stay with someone like him?
Why do you gamble?
How much do you have left?
About 50? You're almost down.
Put them all in. Let's finish this.
Why? Scared?
Dickhead.
What happened to your grit from earlier?
Eh? Three of a kind?
If spade ace wasn't dealt...
If 2 wasn't dealt to him...
If 6 pair wasn't in the flop...
Had I not burned a 6...
Would it...
change anything?
Shit...
(2. One Eyed Jack)
Jeez...
Come here, asshole!
Get up. It's not over.
I'm losing weight because of all the beatings.
My wife's getting suspicious.
Our sex life is taking a hit!
Your mom runs a diner in Dongincheon.
Boss, I've got to cut something today.
I'm sick of going home empty-handed.
Say what? What's with him?
What?
He said if we go near his mom,
he'll kill us.
This bastard really doesn't get it.
- Let's cut him. - I've had it.
- Give me his hand. - Put it here!
Shut your face and hold still!
I'll just take this one.
Come on, don't do that.
Do you even think at all?
How is a gambler supposed to pay back
if you cut his finger off?
You know him?
What a hassle!
What is it?
Can't you see we're working?
If you're passing by...
You shouldn't beat someone up for borrowing some money.
Am I right, Il-chul?
You're Il-chul, right?
I'm talking here.
- Yes. - That's enough.
How much is the debt?
$45,000 principal plus interest
and late fees.
A little over $100,000.
100 large?
Let's do it this way. I'll pay you that money.
But I don't have the money right now.
But I will pay,
so stop charging interest from today.
Yo. Stop charging interest?
How can I trust you?
Are you Yong-pal's boys?
Hey, son of a crow!
Don't say his name so recklessly!
Go tell Yong-pal that
One-Eye vouched for him.
I, uh...
Thank you so much.
I'll pay you back somehow...
You know me?
Of course. You're One-Eye.
Every gambler knows you.
You're legendary.
A tazza.
Tazza, my ass. I'm just a swindler.
Are you just going to stand there?
#13, play again.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
There was a real tazza back in the day.
Known as "One-Ear."
- One-Ear? - Doh Sung-gil.
That's my father.
I think you got it all wrong.
He was a nobody.
Perhaps it's better that
you don't know he was a legendary tazza.
When I was young, I was indebted to your father.
I never got to pay that back though.
Wait a minute...
So he was a legendary tazza,
known as One-Ear?
There are only 3 legends in our country.
One-Ear of Gyeongsang-do, Blackmouth of Jeolla-do,
and one known all over the country...
What's the point of telling you?
So why did this legend
die on the street penniless?
That's how gamblers die.
So if you don't want a tragic end yourself,
walk away and don't come back.
Just think that your father cleared off your debt.
- Go on! - Pardon?
Get going.
I'm so sorry.
Piss off, you're bad luck.
Do they let anyone in here?
Fine, I'm going.
Were you even suspicious?
What?
What's the first thing you should do
when you lose money?
Be suspicious...
Start with those closest to you.
It can't be you, Beard.
You son of a bitch!
Shit.
Well, if you keep making this game bigger...
You should ease up.
Then how about next Saturday...
Excuse me.
- Hello. - Chairman...
Let's go with next Saturday,
and I'll send a car.
Excuse me...
- I've actually been thinking... - See that lady...
in the polka dot dress?
- Yes. - Want to have a go with her?
- What? - Jooni's mom?
Yes?
- Excuse me, one moment. - Where are you going?
Could you have a go with him?
Right now?
Sure.
I was kidding.
Go play your game.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Do you think that woman has a soul?
She once had a kid and a husband too
and lived harmoniously
before she borrowed gambling money from me.
First, you lose money, then your family,
and lastly, you lose your soul.
Go home before you lose it all.
I never said I was gambling.
You said you're a swindler.
I'd like to try my hand at swindling.
This world is filled with swindlers.
Why can't I do it too?
- You can't. - Why not?
You don't seem to be talented.
How do you know that? You've never seen me play.
Why would a talented one use a loan shark's money?
Shit...
I was just unlucky that day...
Luck is talent too.
You feel wronged?
I bet you are.
But that's how this world works.
But you said my dad was a tazza.
If you teach me,
I'll pay everything back.
Forget it. That was my debt to One-Ear.
I don't know about that. I'll flippin' pay you back!
Pardon my French.
Let's see it.
See what?
Your talent.
Choose wisely. You only get one chance.
I don't back down on my word.
Whatever, go red.
A man's red all the way.
When you bet, bet your life.
Red...
#19.
That's it!
- Red! - Congratulations!
Red!
Flippin' red!
Did you see my talent?
How much is that? That was close...
Red!
Baby, did you wait long?
I had noodles.
I'm not smoking.
They don't miss their dad?
What?
How could I just come up with $20,000...
- Sir? - I sent it to you last time.
Why enroll them into extra classes there?
Over here!
Yes. I've got to go.
Mr. Jo!
Ms. Yoon.
It's been way too long!
I'm always here. It's you who's never here.
What do you mean?
I'm always at that table, waiting to see you.
- For real? - Sure.
- What about me? - Hey, baby!
What's with you? You won't talk to me?
Is something not working out?
- Sweetie... - Yes?
I'm in pain.
Pain? Where?
Where are you in pain?
Here.
Come on. You startled me!
I'm serious. I'm going insane...
Because it hurts...
Forest fire in front, river in the back...
(Hint Price Lv. 1: $50, Lv. 2: $100...)
Let's tread cautiously.
I didn't expect that, Professor.
Still alive.
Wait a minute...
Right, I've got to pay you.
That is incredible.
It's a close match.
You have to do well to win.
You too, sir.
No need to frown. I'm still not at your level.
Sorry about that.
Need a new ashtray?
Yes, sure.
All right.
So that's how it goes.
There was a way.
How about a drink with me?
I'll buy.
I have a lot of problems lately.
Could you consult me?
Consult you?
Sure thing.
Then I'll wait for you. I'll be at that table.
Baby! It's been too long!
Are you listening to yourself?
Get him in the game!
Are you kidding? It's almost ready.
Goddammit!
Why the hell am I doing this for?
The money is almost ready, so get Mr. Jo...
Just get those suckers buttered up.
I've been up since dawn getting my part ready.
I'm not letting others take it.
Yes?
What?
What is it?
What the...
Who are you?
Being big is troublesome.
Hell!
That attitude of his.
How old?
What?
How old are you? Asshole!
I'm 34...
34...
She's the mother of my kids.
- Send her back. - Okay...
He's got a temper for a young one.
I'd hate to ask,
but could I get a little more?
Mr. Kwon, come on...
My kids ran out of money in the Philippines.
You're barely keeping afloat.
Am I running a charity?
Are you sure
your money is going to your kids?
Don't say that.
What about your wife?
She hasn't come to Korea for 3 years.
She could've already hooked up with someone.
Shit.
Forget it, just go!
Sure, it's a split.
Don't look for me.
Pull yourself together.
The one who tipped me off gave me this.
What the hell is it?
What do I do with this?
It's a gold mine.
What is it?
One Eyed Jack!
Only 2 cards out of a 52-card deck.
So what?
It's an invincible card
that can trump over anyone.
That's me.
You're so lucky!
Luck of a newbie, maybe?
Are you two new here?
I wouldn't have missed two hotties like you.
It must be your lucky day.
You won big and met me too.
It's not easy coming across someone like me, no?
Aren't I pretty?
I'm actually a bit tipsy today.
I'm over there.
I always welcome those who want to lose money to me.
What's wrong? My heart just skipped a beat.
You got a weak heart.
While your hand...
is quite bold.
Here.
Jesus Christ...
Ma'am, could you...
Dammit...
Hey! You bastards!
I think she's pissed.
Stop right there, assholes!
How dare you ruin my business!
Your business?
So that's your job?
Stealing a few chips?
Yeah, that's my job.
It "was" my job.
I lost it thanks to you.
Don't you think you're too pretty
to make an honest buck?
Mind your own business.
That's enough.
What is it?
It's a chance!
A chance to change your life.
Choose wisely.
You too.
It's not easy taking someone else's money.
What the...
(3. The Pushover)
Come on out, asshole!
I worked so hard on that job.
I'm going to kill him...
I'm going to cause a major stink today.
I can feel it.
Where are you?
Come on out!
Can you calm down?
There's no one here. Stop saying that!
Stay put, will you?
Mister, I'm about to go insane.
Stay out of it if you don't want bloodshed.
I've tasted more than blood in my time.
I'm about to go batshit insane.
I'm going to set the world on fire today. Don't butt in!
Or you'll get hurt.
Damn, he talks so damn much.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
Who's that asshole?
How did you know I'm an asshole?
We got a brainiac here.
Was it you?
You're that bastard?
Mr. Kwon!
Holy shit...
You were still alive?
Shit!
You were so quiet
that I thought someone got to you.
I was out of the country for a while.
No one gets to One-Eye.
- One-Eye of Bangbae-dong? - Good morning.
I'm not late?
I came to drop off my CV.
I'll explain plainly.
I got a pushover with all the prep work done.
It's a big job,
so I need a team.
I've gathered a decent group of members,
so if you don't like the plan,
feel free to walk away.
Wait a minute.
Are we on the highway?
No need for an introduction?
I can tell from your faces.
Gamblers and swindlers, no?
Being a swindler isn't all that.
Amateurs steal with cards,
experts steal with bets,
swindlers steal all the time.
He's an impatient one. Let's get this over with.
I'm Mr. Kwon.
And I'm a swindler.
I'm Doh Il-chul.
One-Ear's son.
Master Doh! Legendary tazza!
You do look a little alike!
He played hwatu so artfully.
Does your father still play?
He passed away.
What? How?
Probably while playing cards.
Artfully.
I'm Yoon Young-mi, an actress, obviously.
Actress?
You don't look it.
Hey! I majored in theater and film!
Sure...
And who acts with looks nowadays?
Then what?
I cover up my lethal weapon.
Because it's too dangerous.
Then shouldn't you show us something?
How can I trust you?
Let's start with you to see if you're useful.
I'm the bomb.
Show me yours,
and I'll show you mine.
Wild and hot.
For real?
Don't change your mind later.
What can I show you?
How could I get a chance to bang Young-mi?
Judging by his tongue,
he's a con man.
I'm curious. Let's see what you can do.
Do you even need to see it?
Can't you just feel it?
You stand out too much.
I'm Fealer.
Know why I'm called that?
Because I'm a flippin' dealer.
Fealer, who can flippin' deal.
Look at this guy.
Oh no, I hate queens.
Yeah?
That's no good. I've got to satisfy you.
Why does she hate queens?
What does Young-mi like?
Let's all take a deep dive into Young-mi's heart.
I think you're into hearts.
Keep them.
He's cute.
I'm adorable.
Now, your turn.
Sure, a promise is a promise.
Wait a minute.
I said I'd show it to you.
Right.
So only you get to see it.
Shit, I love it!
Isn't that BMW outside yours?
How did you know that?
Because it looks like shit.
Wait in the car. I'll show it to you only.
Okay.
Sorry, but I'll get a good look
and tell you in detail.
Hold on, where are you going without your keys?
Eh? You saw?
You swiped it in his face. How could we not see it?
These guys are something.
The icebreaker's over. Let's get down to business.
So flippin' cute.
Let's get to work then.
He's a new money.
He sold booze, girls, and lands as a young man.
He made a mint with hot springs,
and raised buildings.
- Hello there. - Hello.
This is Mr. Kim Bang-su.
And this is the couple I told you about the other day.
You came early.
You two are newlyweds.
I don't like him!
Can I do it with him?
Il-chul has a different job.
He still needs to learn a lot.
Then I'm out. I don't need to be in this.
We need a beauty to make the game big.
Dammit...
- Nice to meet you. - Shit!
The Pushover's got too much pride.
He doesn't like to lose, loves girls,
and is greedy as hell.
He's the archetype of a new money.
You're young entrepreneurs in the market
for land to build a cottage.
- Very sweet. - Indeed.
Baby, I love it here. It's so beautiful.
The air is nice,
but can people even live here?
Check out the land for a few days and be very fussy.
- Holy shit! I saw a snake! - Where? Where?
It was a poisonous snake!
Where? Over here?
Goddamn snake!
Ultimately, speak ill of the town.
I think this town is dirty
and smells quite a bit.
The stench surprised me.
Baby, the roads are bad here.
It's hard to get down...
Say it's dirty, has bad roads,
is run-down, and has weird locals...
People here ooze bad energy,
and the town is a bit lousy.
Don't you think, baby?
At least the air is good.
Wait a minute.
So when do we start the job?
That is the job.
He needs to be worked up.
Poke at his pride!
And when his gauge is filled up...
- Sir. - Yes?
How about a smoke?
Yeah? I was thinking about it.
We'll be right back.
Men are so weird...
They can't quit smoking.
I'm so bored...
Sir.
Is there anything fun to do?
He'll start a card game naturally.
Hello there!
Welcome.
The Pushover will bring a man to join the game.
A tazza?
Tazza, my ass.
A frog in a small pond.
He's no match for you.
Do about 3 games and take his $100,000.
Will that stir him up?
He's still a big shot in town.
He's a new money.
That'll be enough to rouse him.
I wonder if I can go with a straight.
He had this funny look!
His pupils were shaking too!
- That's so good! - I knew he was bluffing!
I had to go after it!
Justice prevails!
- Oh my gosh! - I wondered if I should fold!
Look who it is!
Then go meet the real estate agent.
Tell him the geezer's land is worthless,
and ask to see something else.
I think his land is worthless.
Can I see something else?
And don't forget...
Yes?
- That man... - Yes?
He sucks ass at gambling.
He's a sucker, a major one.
Baby, you crossed the line!
What you said will naturally reach the geezer's ears.
Goddammit!
And that is when Mr. Kwon and Doh enter the scene.
Just in time!
- Question! - Yes?
What will you be doing?
Yeah, we'll all be working.
Me?
You should've passed earlier.
That's no good.
Is that so hard?
It's revenge, just revenge!
This isn't about the $100,000.
What I want the most is
pure, unadulterated revenge.
- That's all. - I see.
Know what they said about me
because they won some money?
A sucker!
That's too much.
Very good!
- See that? - That was awesome.
According to Mr. Na,
you gents are very skilled.
We don't fool around with cards.
We work as a team, so we don't make mistakes.
Can I trust you?
Should we just go?
No, no.
Mr. Na vouched for you.
He's like a son to me.
I see.
Anyway, get that couple for me.
Hello there!
This is my nephew.
He came for a visit and wants to play cards.
Mind if he joins us?
Sure. The bigger, the better.
Shall we begin?
3 for me.
Call.
Fold.
Even the ante is too much.
Fold.
Fold? It's a pair of ace.
A real master goes to battle with a high 2 pair.
Hurry up. This isn't an exam.
Whatever. Fold the damn thing.
Dang, I only won this much with a full house with triple kings?
Wow, full house with triple kings!
Who the hell is this guy?
Ante.
Call.
10 for me.
- 2 pairs. - Three of a kind.
Raise 30 grands. Fold if you can't take it.
- I'm out. - Fold.
Double raise.
Shit.
I won!
- King two pair. - Ace two pair.
What's with me today?
- Straight! - Straighter!
Full house with triple threes.
Full house with triple jacks.
Did I eat too much?
I have to shit.
I'll be right back. You guys keep playing.
Will you stop smoking? My head hurts!
It'd be weird if only he smoked.
So tired...
Give me a massage.
Shit, shit...
No toilet paper!
Cheers!
- That was incredible. - Pardon?
How did you read their hands?
It was astonishing!
It’s part of the job.
Here, $10,000 for your work.
Oh my.
Isn't that too little for a week worth of work?
No, not at all.
We had fun thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
All right!
Take this as my bonus!
No, you don't have to.
Since you're in Seocheon,
get trashed
and smash some Seocheon chicks too!
Wait a minute.
We're doing all that just for a petty sum?
I know, there are 5 of us here.
Barely enough to cover all the expenses.
Up to here is...
Fealer, he took the bait.
- Get some rest here. - Sure thing.
Boss, you got a call.
- Hello? - It's me.
Yes?
Let's go another round, a hell of a big game!
- What? - I can't stand losing.
A game worth $5 million.
$5 million?
Music to my ears!
We've got to do the job. Call!
Let's do it, call.
Get ready
to be rich.
Let's do this!
Isn't that color too much?
Jesus...
Why move that by yourself?
Asshole, help me with these!
I am working, asshole.
One, two, three, four, five, give it a go.
One, two, three, four, five...
Look at this goddamn idiot.
Shit!
Try again.
We've never been there before.
Don't act like you know us.
What's next?
Focus and get this right before we move on.
#22. What are you doing?
- Look at it! - Stupid bitch!
I can't see well.
Goddammit!
You're pretty good now.
This is nothing at all.
I told you, I got talent.
Could I ask you something?
How did you get the debt?
Debt?
You said you were indebted to my father.
Well...
Doing this over and over again,
I got curious for the first time.
But it's no big deal.
My dad...
What kind of a man was he?
On the gambling table,
everyone except my opponent
has to be my ally.
Just remember that.
$10,000.
Whatever. I'll see you and raise $20,000.
Too much. I fold.
Let's go for it. Call.
I'll accept,
and $100,000 more.
Call.
Shit...
All right, take the down card.
Fold.
The card I wanted didn't come through.
What can I do?
What happened to your backbone?
Isn't the air here great? Sweet?
How do you like the taste of poker in Seocheon? Ain't it sweet?
Shut your mouth!
Before I make you gag on my dick.
You son of a bitch!
You want to be fish food?
Yeah, try me, fatass!
You bastard...
Save some face for Mr. Kim.
You should watch your mouth.
Mr. Kim?
- Stop it. - Shush, stop.
It's all right.
People can get worked up over money.
Stop frowning. Back off, boy.
- Is he insane? - Sit down.
- Baby, come on. - It's quite all right.
I'm scared...
I got my eyes on you!
- Sit! - Let's just try to have fun.
Go sit down. You too, sit.
Go on.
- Shall we? - What?
Deal.
Right, let's start the game.
All right.
Mix it properly.
Should I teach you something?
When you got a foul mouth,
you get a bad hand.
Here we go.
Start with $10,000 ante?
Call.
I'll raise you $20,000.
Call.
All right, let's just check out the down card. Call.
Here, down card.
Hey, come on.
Could you hurry up? Are you on a field trip?
Ante.
Then me too.
$100,000.
Fold.
All in.
I'm out. I got a weak heart.
All right, call.
Yes!
You fell for it!
I was so nervous
that you wouldn't fall for it.
Look at my hands. I'm so sweaty.
Look at it!
It all came together in the end.
2, 3, 5, and 6,
4 diamonds came flying in.
Same suite in a row.
Is that a straight flush?
What? Never seen it before?
Like you!
It came together in the end.
What?
I was waiting for a straight flush too.
8, 9, Jack, Queen.
10 of spade came along.
Same suite and in a row.
Baby!
Jeez...
Why didn't you follow his sign?
You should've folded when he told you to.
Even if he's a master,
how could he read my hand?
It was a straight flush, and I had to go for it.
If you're going to keep at it, we're pulling out.
We can't continue to work
if we get recognized.
- Take care. - I'm really sorry.
I really am,
so can we try one more time?
One more what? You lost everything.
I'll do whatever you ask, okay?
Come on...
Look at that, the real deal is here.
Welcome.
Playing cards again?
I hooked a real sucker.
You can't lose this money...
I'm Seocheon Rotary Club Chairman Kim!
So don't you worry. Since you're here, you should stay for the sauna.
They're tazzas from Seoul.
I see. Tazza...
Don't just stand there. Get her a suite.
Sure!
Go inside, come on.
The water's great here.
Your skin will feel so smooth!
Shit...
(4. Madonna)
As the leaves fall en masse
And the long winter night...
The straight flush flew right into my heart,
and I just lost my shit then.
But thanks to you all, I recovered half.
Let's mess them up tomorrow!
By the way...
who was the lady from earlier?
Isn't she a hottie?
You know, my lover.
Really? You fell for it?
How is a tazza so gullible?
I wish she was my lover!
That bitch is being way too uptight.
It must be nice.
Getting greased up with booze and girls...
This is too much...
We get rice cakes?
Young-mi...
What?
I'm getting nervous because of tomorrow.
So what?
Could you do me a favor?
What?
Let me get you laid.
I'm begging you.
Can you give it to me once?
Give you what?
I lost my damn appetite...
You punk!
- Listen to me. - Eat your rice cake, you horny ass!
Goddamn!
Playing hard to get...
We were just starting to have fun!
It's raining!
Give it! Let's drink a little more!
She's a widow from Seoul.
She had it tough
because she met a bad guy.
After her husband died,
she wrapped things up
and came to her hometown to settle down.
What can I do?
I felt bad for her. She's like a sister to me,
and she's pretty too.
There's a building going up in Daecheon.
It's a small $5 million building.
We decided to go half-half on it.
Buildings are the only things I own.
So I borrowed some cash to invest in it.
I can always win more to pay that loan back,
no?
What if you lose?
- If I lose? - Back up, back up!
Look here.
Do you know how I became rich?
To be frank, the thing about business is,
it's the same as gambling.
The winner takes it all.
It'll all end up in my pocket.
That building won't go up.
No matter how long you wait, it just won't get built.
You're a tazza in gambling,
and I'm a tazza in business.
It's a no-lose situation.
2 tazzas came together, no?
I just sent him home.
He passed out drinking.
From the looks of it, tomorrow's game will be at night.
Yeah...
Where are you going?
No, it's nothing.
Yeah.
You don't remember me?
How could I not?
So why pretend otherwise?
And you? Why did you?
I heard he's dead.
All gamblers get hurt or die off.
Shouldn't you apologize?
I'm going to start over.
I came here for that.
Gamblers, gamesters, swindlers.
I'm sick of it all.
So, could you leave me?
Pull your investment out.
We're working on that old man.
So get your money out. Go invest elsewhere.
You wanted to start over. That geezer is...
Why are you so naive?
You haven't changed one bit.
Why are you telling me this?
You said you'll work on him.
I don't know...
I must be nuts.
What the hell?
Shit!
Do you also take me for a pushover?
All right.
I'll show you what I'm made of.
What the hell are you doing?
What? What is it?
We're done.
What? No one's inside?
Are you kidding me?
Did you think they'd be waiting for you, dumbass?
If you can't find them, go look for them!
Find that goddamn couple, and Mr. Na too!
Bring them all to the fish storage!
Or I'll feed you to the fish,
you hear me, dipshit?
Shit...
You thought we'd be easy?
You took all of us for fools.
You guys are in deep shit today.
You watch.
This is for the history books.
- Let's go. - Yes, boss.
Why is he taking it out on me?
Search everywhere.
Let's cut them open!
Fealer, the window!
Window...
Go on. Knock it down!
Shit!
Come on out!
You?
- Get going! - We have to go together!
Just go, dammit!
Jump!
Hey!
When I survive this...
give it to me for real.
You idiot!
Hey...
Don't die.
Are you tickling it?
Don't kid around.
Shit...
What is it?
Red light.
Are you testing me?
Testing my damn temper?
You're waiting for the light in the middle of the night?
And you call yourself a hooligan?
- Go! Just go! - Okay! I'm going!
If you're going to obey all the laws,
become a judge!
Why are you even a hooligan?
Go jerk off somewhere else!
You're up?
You son of a bitch.
Where's Fealer?
- You bastard... - Young-mi! Come here.
Let's get some air.
Cut off your wrist.
I can get you the money right away. I'm not lying!
I got so much money!
I really do...
Stop it! No!
You son of a bitch!
Please don't kill me...
Don't kill me, I'm begging you...
Will I be forgiven if I cut it off?
Forgiven?
There was someone named "Demon."
He was undefeatable.
Brutal and calm...
I was terrified.
Why do you complicate things?
Tell your master to bring us the money!
Demon was the one who killed One-Ear.
I betrayed your father.
Yes, master.
I was going to lay low, but I ended up in a game...
Could you help me?
They're suckers!
Traitors can't be forgiven.
You live with the guilt for your entire life.
Like me.
If you want your revenge, do it now.
Will you let him go?
We have to get Fealer.
It's best that I go alone.
Are you kidding me? By yourself?
He's famous among Seoul gamblers.
He's known as "One-Eye."
One-Eye?
Or "One Eyed Jack."
Goddamn Na...
What did I tell you?
You must be careful with these gamblers.
Shut the hell up!
Focus on getting those bastards who got away!
Stupid prick...
You'll get them...
Then what?
Kill them, of course.
Not going to get your revenge?
Revenge?
You need to get revenge!
Or get paid.
I know a specialist.
A specialist?
Ever heard of Demon?
(5. Demon)
Madame!
- Get me some beer! - Did you win some?
Call.
All right, call.
Go somewhere else, okay?
You shooed away all my customers.
Go away.
How many months has it been?
Eat, sleep, eat...
Or at least go easy on them.
You scared everyone away.
Why not go to a bigger game?
How am I to make a living?
Stop staring.
If you're penniless, piss off.
- The hell did he say? - You suddenly grew balls, huh?
I could stab you to death.
Shit...
What the hell?
Holed up here, huh?
Looks like...
you'll end up like me soon.
It's been a while since I played.
I don't know if I still got it.
- Came for revenge? - Revenge?
Why get that from you? It's not like you cut it off.
Let's see...
It's a shit hand.
Doesn't work anymore.
Bring some money if you want to play.
I don't gamble anymore.
Only with family on holidays.
So why did you come here?
To see your face.
A traitor's face.
One Eyed Jack...
is dead.
I thought at least you should know.
You son of a bitch...
Why would he die?
He went back to Seocheon.
Thanks to him...
I got to live.
That girl brought in a specialist,
and he lost mercilessly.
Who? One Eyed Jack?
I've never seen anything like it.
He was calm...
Brutal and calm...
Calm and brutal...
I was terrified.
He was terrifying.
His name was...
Was it...
Was his name Demon?
I'm off.
Looks like you're the one who needs revenge.
Go get your money back.
What money?
Demon said to collect the dinner tab.
$18.
I'm owed the dinner tab too.
- $18. - You idiot!
What happened to your grit from earlier?
This is why I hate poor people.
You think I can't see your hand? You dimwit.
There was someone named "Demon."
He was undefeatable.
This AC is almost new.
$200 is your best?
All right, fine.
- Sign here? - Yes.
Okay.
Why do you think Demon toyed with me?
Coincidence or not, it's an ill-fated relationship.
Whatever the case, don't go.
If I don't,
I may regret it all my life.
Regret?
That's what gamblers do.
You think about the money and the games you lost,
then you betray and get betrayed,
leaving only regrets behind.
Revenge?
You think your regrets will vanish?
No, I know that well.
Same for One-Eye and me too.
Your father probably felt the same too.
Il-chul...
Don't go.
(6. One-Ear)
My gosh.
We ate everything.
You should've come sooner.
Where's Doh Il-chul?
That bastard suddenly grew balls.
He came here with money.
What did I tell you?
As long as that bitch is here, he'll come.
Watch your mouth.
You look well.
The geezer's giving you love?
It was like yesterday when you got scared and spilled everything.
Now, now. Separate your friends from foes.
We're on the same side here.
This is between tazzas. I won't have a chance.
I'll just set things up and get the ball rolling,
so whoever wins, my cut is 50%.
50%?
That's highway robbery.
Forget it then.
I don't care about revenge or loyalty.
I only trust money and follow it.
Yay or nay? I got no time.
Let's check out Doh Il-chul's face.
Very well, let's go!
Wow, you were alive.
It's not easy meeting me twice.
It's still the same, that mouth of yours.
What's the house rule?
What can you bet?
When you bet, bet your life.
What?
Bet your life.
My life?
- Sure. - I knew it'd come to this.
That's why I took out an insurance policy.
I'm not trying to scare you.
So this guy fooled around
with paperwork to take a building
that belongs to my nephew.
If tazzas use their skills,
how can I fend them off?
Am I right?
It's not that deep, maybe 5m?
You'll all play tomorrow with that on.
Good, no need to see blood.
You can try to pull a fast one in front of everyone.
My heart's beating so fast, no?
Get going. Have the boats ready.
It's like a deja vu.
It was the other way around last time.
Can you win tomorrow?
Would you like me to win?
No.
Like I said, your hands aren't meant for gambling.
Don't try to pull a fast one. You know better.
I don't want Demon to win either.
Nor the Pushover.
You came to tell me that?
At this hour?
Demon, the Pushover and me, we're all on the same team.
You can never win by yourself.
Let's just take the money and run.
I have a plan.
How can I trust you?
You fooled me twice.
Twice!
Don't trust me. Trust the money.
I'll bite. What's your plan?
I'm going to spike the drink.
And then?
I'll spike the entire jug,
so don't drink it.
You know what'll happen next.
What's with the mood here?
Gambling should be fun, no?
I'm trying to see if they rubbed bellies last night.
So? Did they?
Who knows. We'll find out once we start.
Let's get started.
We'll play Seven Card Stud.
There's no love lost here, so no limit, full betting.
All right, take your pick.
Look, a one-eye.
This is a bad omen.
Is he watching us from hell?
Give me a good hand.
I'll give you plenty of tips when I see you.
Let me ask you something.
What is it?
Why did you kill One-Ear?
Who? Your daddy?
Why do you keep bringing up dead people?
I have to know why before I get my revenge.
Revenge? Really?
King, boss. $10,000.
He took off with my money.
That's all?
Do gamblers need another reason?
Son of a bitch...
You not going to play?
Call.
Me too.
How weird.
The almighty One-Ear lied to me.
He must've been desperate for money.
Maybe he got into girls in his later years.
$100,000.
Shit!
But you got it back.
So why did you kill him, asshole?
He lied to me twice!
One-Ear did!
Boss! Boss!
He was the only one...
who stole from me.
Aren't you curious?
Where did he hide that money?
It's like a novel.
You know I'd chase you to the ends of hell
if you stole my money.
So you came to get your money back?
From me?
I didn't get everything back, asshole.
Don't worry. If I win this,
it should be even.
This must be hell.
Call, and all in.
Eh? Got yourself a flush?
This seems to be a flush too.
Fold.
It is hell.
Call.
All in.
Come on...
I can't keep up if you hit so hard on the first game.
You don't learn, do you?
I got a king-high flush.
You got a flush too, eh?
You're no match for me.
Why? The geezer got the king of spade,
and I burned the ace of spade.
This?
I got it on the down card.
You sure? Did you burn this?
If you did, it'd be here.
Can you bet your life on it?
That's my burned clover.
That's mine.
My burned 8.
Kiddo, let's dip one of them.
Yes, sir.
Stop, stop.
Don't touch that, asshole!
Why?
Have your balls shriveled up?
If they have, we can call this off.
Don't pull a fast one on me!
You've got another ace of spades, don't you?
There was no cheating.
Good.
There's no cheating, I'm sure.
That's why we'll take a look, dickhead!
I'll bite. Tell me your plan.
Don't worry. No one will notice.
When Demon and the Pushover drink,
you shuffle the cards...
I got you, bitch.
You bring me trash and ask me for a game?
Why? Not up for it?
We'll beat you just enough to see the brink of death.
Even if I lose,
you can still get a 50% commission.
$2 million.
Hold on.
You can have everything except for my $2 million cut.
$4 million.
Bitch.
So damn predictable.
Since it turned out this way,
let's just focus on tomorrow.
You son of a bitch...
I'll take that as a yes.
What's the plan?
I'll signal. That's your cue.
Signal? What signal?
The signal is...
Let me ask you something.
One-Ear.
Why did you kill One-Ear?
Who? Your daddy?
- And then? - I need you to lead him on.
He must've been desperate for money.
Maybe he got into girls in his later years.
Get him to keep talking about One-Ear.
So where did he hide the money?
It's like a novel.
So?
You won't be able to pull a fast one.
Demon will be watching you.
Even if you're so skilled...
Don't you worry about that.
You'll be the one switching.
Not me.
Wow!
- Me? - It won't require a lot of skill.
I'm not asking you
to switch cards that everyone's watching.
A card no one is watching.
Switch a burned card.
Can you do it?
But if by chance, Demon catches you,
then you'll die.
Good luck.
On the gambling table,
everyone except my opponent
has to be my ally.
Just remember that.
- Begin. - Sure.
Boss!
Go on! Dip him!
Boss!
Want to go for a swim too?
Excuse me?
Can you take me with you?
Help me...
You've got to make me see blood.
I can't take any money, can I?
Boys, the game's over.
Clean up and get the money.
This just isn't right.
Where I'm from, you can't just
let someone who made you
$4 million go empty-handed.
It's against the rules.
It's fine. We're not that close anyway.
We made a ton of money,
so let's go drink,
sing some songs, and shake some booty.
This young man's no fun.
Drop me off at the terminal.
Still, this is not right. I feel terrible...
Is this the way to the terminal station?
Eh? It's a short cut.
He's from around here.
The scenery is great.
I've thought it over,
but this isn't right.
While I fronted all the money, you did some grunt work,
yet you take $2 million?
That's not right...
Isn't this a capitalist society?
Son of a bitch...
Didn't I tell you
how I became rich?
You thought you could take my money so easily?
Leave the money and walk away.
How could you be so predictable, asshole?
What?
What the hell?
How... how could you...
Isn't it worth killing a person for $4 million?
In a capitalist society?
Does seeing money make you greedy?
I learned one thing from him
while seeing him gamble.
Know what that is?
If you've eaten enough, close your eyes and walk away.
Shit, he's the real tazza.
Why do people lose money in gambling?
They can't walk away until they lose it all.
I told you to eat properly. You never listen.
Idiot, have you experienced morning sickness?
You think this is easy?
(One Love Maternity Hospital)
You still have to eat.
You're not eating just for yourself.
Our baby's eating too.
The doc said he's way too small!
- My baby? - Shut up. Just get the car.
- Okay. - Now I understand.
Life may feel like gambling, but it's more than that.
Yeah, I've got to check in the bag.
The driver's bringing it over.
I bought that. I spent all day at Central Market, yeah.
I'm going back to my life
before losing my soul.
Over here!
This won't do, let's go eat steaks.
Angus, your favorite!
You idiot! We've got to save up!
There are so many things to buy before the baby's due!
Whatever, let's just eat and then think about it.
When are you going to grow up?
What's this?
Wait a minute! Hold up!
This isn't my bag.
It's nothing. My bag's switched.
No, it's yours, green checkered bag.
Hold on a second!
Excuse me, it's not mine!
I've never seen this...
I'll leave the money.
As long as I have the money,
I'll go back to cards.
How do I know that?
I just do.
Because I'm a tazza.
You should've gone inside to sleep.
Why are you dozing off here?
Is the result out? How did it go?
It's okay.
You can take the exam again. You're still young.
Cheer up! It's okay!
You hungry? Let's eat.
- Oh yeah, Mom. - Yeah?
Something came.
No way!
You passed!
Jesus!
Don't overreact.
It's not a cure for cancer.
It almost is! Incredible!
Come on.
Let's eat.
I'll cook something special.
It's okay. Let's eat out.
For what? I'll make a special dinner.
You don't have to...
We actually need to talk.
What is it?
It's about your dad.
Forget it. It can't be good.
There's something he asked me to give you,
and I think I can finally tell you.
Listen carefully. It's a long story.
He was a gambler. A famous one, I'm told.
One-Ear of Gyeongsang-do, Blackmouth of Jeolla-do,
and one known all over the country...

Ma'am...
This is...
There isn't anything I can do for you even if you come by often.
If you have an adult son in your family register,
you can't be eligible for basic living subsidies.
I got none.
He's not at home.
Hey, Il-chul.
That granny is here to pass the time.
You can't be nice to her every single day.
But she makes a tough living collecting recycling material...
So? What's that got to do with us?
Il-chul, do we look like suckers?
We're just civil servants.
Know your limits and work like one.
You won't get an award for working hard.
It's the section chief.
- Chief! Salute! - Salute!
Sir, a game today?
I'm always ready.
I'll set it all up and text you.
Bastards...
Mr. Moon?
- You're here. - Finally.
Sorry for making you do this.
You're the only one in the office at this hour, so...
Here, cards.
Very good.
- Goodnight. - All right, see you.
Wait a minute, Il-chul!
One second.
Can you play cards?
Poker, do you play?
- I don't. - It's okay, you'll learn quickly.
- Heard of one pair, two pair? - No idea.
Never played it at school?
It's just matching pictures.
And the section chief's inside. You should come in.
You have to at least say hello. Come in.
Chief.
He's the rookie I told you about.
Yeah? Come in.
I...
Are you sure this is okay?
Yes, of course.
Really?
It's okay. Join us.
