Then, to commemorate the opening of the hotel...
Wow!
No more bets.
I'm going to follow you.
Keep playing, ma'am?
Wait.
Why? You're not going to keep going?
You can play by yourself.
Why? I have a good feeling about this one.
Well, you can keep playing by yourself, then.
-You want me to play all by myself? -Yeah.
No more bets.
She doesn't know how to read the flow of the game.
I'm going to show my cards.
Yes! Natural!
Ms. Ko, you should have kept going!
I told you, I had a good feeling about that one.
Such a shame.
Oh, my God, Ms. Ko, what a shame.
Banker wins, natural eight.
My God.
My goodness.
Thank you.
In my account, please.
Yes, ma'am.
You can go now.
Huh? Go where?
To Seoul.
Didn't you hear me?
Huh?
Go where?
You!
I want to talk to you.
-Yes, ma'am. -Huh? What's wrong?
I don't get it. What's going on?
What's up with you guys? Gosh.
Wow. Is she jealous of me?
BIG BET
THE GAME PLAN
Wow, is this the Blue House?
-This place is huge. -Hello.
-Hey, Mr. Jeon. It's been a while. -Hello.
-Hey.
Wow, this place is going to get all the business around here.
I put a lot of work into it.
What brings you here so early?
Mr. Jeon.
Well, I'm here because
I'm planning on putting a bid on this hotel, okay?
So just be aware of that.
I'm afraid that won't work.
There are people who put their money in here more than a year ago.
Well, I've been waiting too, right behind those people.
I'll put my money in.
So make it happen.
You should have
talked to us beforehand.
You haven't said a word until now, and--
Well, I can do whatever I want.
Do I need your permission for anything?
It's just that you're telling us this so suddenly.
I'll mention it to my superiors...
...but I don't think it'll be possible.
Nothing's impossible
nowadays.
Do you have a death wish?
Make it happen while I'm still playing nice.
I'll be waiting, then.
Come on. How can you just come here and do this
without even giving us any money?
I've got the money here.
Just a second.
Yeah, the money's right here.
I've got a package for you.
What are you doing?
Here's a deposit of 100 million pesos.
Happy now?
Not at all. You can't do this!
What do you mean? I have the money, don't I?
Well, you can do whatever you want with it.
Just throw it away for all I care. Hey, let's go.
I'm leaving.
Hey, you need to follow the correct procedure!
Procedure, my ass.
Hey, by the way, there aren't any Korean restaurants around here, right?
-No, I don't think so. -Right.
Damn it.
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm going on a picnic, Moosik.
-With that woman? -Yeah.
Well, why are you making this here? Go make it at your own place.
Come on, I'm making some for you, too. It's really good.
You should try it, Moosik.
Jesus Christ, you're such a try-hard.
Ugh.
Hello.
Mr. Cha. I asked about it,
but I really don't think that it'll be possible this time.
The people who did it before you got really angry.
I'm so sorry.
Hey, Mr. Jeon.
Listen to me very carefully.
I've set my mind to something, right?
So do you really think that I'll just stay quiet
if you keep trying to mess with my plans?
Of course, I won't.
You know, I'm usually like an angel.
So why are you trying to turn me into the Devil?
Seriously, this isn't happening!
I'll give you your money back, okay?
Hold on.
If nobody tries to fight me, then I'm totally angelic.
Do you think that you'll survive if you try to mess with my business?
Think about it carefully, then call me back.
What? Think about...
He keeps making me repeat myself.
Did he just hang up?
That crazy asshole.
Hey, you son of a bitch! Fuck!
What do you think?
-We're here. -Right.
This way.
This place is really nice.
You can't even compare it to the place...
...that you used to visit.
This is the bar.
You can use it all you want.
Welcome to the Bolton Casino.
This way, please.
Welcome to the Bolton Casino.
-Let's go. -Sure.
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
I finally made it to the best casino in Caliz.
I paid off the three companies that had arranged a deal
and took the whole casino all to myself.
-Hello. -Hey.
Hello.
Oh, Mr. Min. You're early!
Of course. You've got to be early on a special day like this.
By the way, have you seen Jungpal?
No idea.
Where did he go on a day like this?
This is great.
Yeah, Sojung. Where are you?
I'm in the hotel. Where are you?
I'm just walking in the rain.
Why are you in the rain?
Just because.
The rain is trying to beat me up.
Hey, by the way, I have no idea where I am.
Is something wrong?
Not at all.
It's just that I have depression.
So I feel a bit down when it rains.
Don't be like that, Jungpal. Come over here.
Let's grab something to eat when I'm done.
Really?
Well, if I just happen to head that way
while I'm walking somewhere, I'll drop by.
I'll be waiting, so make sure to come and look for me.
Hey, Sojung.
Oh! Did you actually walk here?
My goodness.
Oh, no. You're soaking wet.
Why were you out in the rain?
I...
Jungpal, do you want to go to the sauna?
No, I'm allergic to saunas.
I'll get you some warm water, then.
No, Sojung.
I think I'll feel better once I rest a bit.
Is there an empty room?
Huh?
Jungpal, do you want any medication?
No, it's okay.
I just need to rest. I'll feel better once I get some rest.
I've got to get some rest.
Well, there's a room that was just cleaned up.
Do you want to rest in there?
Sure.
Just a second.
-Let's go, Jungpal. -Okay.
Hold on.
Come on. Hold on to me.
You're so heavy.
We can't do this, Jungpal.
Why not?
I'm working right now.
I want to do it even more because you're on the clock.
Wait, wait.
Then...
I'll do it.
Oh, okay.
Jungpal!
-Jungpal, wait! Hold on. -My shoe. Dammit.
Hey.
Were you sleeping somewhere?
I was sleeping at home.
Home?
I mean, at someone else's home. Yeah.
Ugh, hey.
Let's eat.
-Hey, hey. Moosik, Moosik, Moosik, Moosik! -Come on, cook something, Jungpal.
You know Sojung, right?
Could you put in a good word for her and have her come work in our hotel?
She really, really wants to transfer over.
This is a genuine request.
Were you with her?
Why aren't you saying anything? It's not like you did something wrong.
Well, I just don't want you to feel pressured.
What?
Well, you might feel pressured and a bit uncomfortable
because she's my girlfriend.
I just don't understand how
your mind works.
How did you jump to that conclusion?
You think I'll feel pressured because she's your girlfriend?
You're half-delusional.
Hey, be quiet and go cook me something.
Come on, Moosik.
-Moosik, we need more people, too! -You've lost it.
No! I don't need more people. I'm not doing it.
Come on, Moosik. Please, just do this for me.
No, I'm not doing it.
Come on, Moosik.
Jessica!
-Honey, where's Jessica? -Yeah.
Jessica, come out. Let's eat. You're late. Come on.
Seriously, you haven't given her breakfast yet?
It's coming. Just a bit late today. Jessica, come here, we're late.
-Come here, sit. -Where's her bag? Her bag?
It's on the couch.
Here.
No.
Can you eat it for me just once?
-No. -Come on.
-No. -This is
-the last one. It's the last one. -No!
Hey, you can eat when you're there. You can eat when you're there.
Honey, honey, you should eat. You should eat before you go.
I told you yesterday that I have a meeting today. Look at the time.
-We have no time for breakfast. -Come here. Wait.
Jessica.
-No, no. -Say "ah."
You can eat there, Jessica.
It's here.
There's Jessica, guys.
-Good morning, Jessica. -Hello.
-Hi, Teacher. -Hi.
-Did you do your homework, Jessica? -Yes.
All right, hop in.
-Hi. -Hi, Jessica.
Hi, my name is Brian Hunt.
I'm the new English teacher at the academy.
-Oh, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
My name, Mr. Jo.
-Mr. Jo? -Yeah.
You work at the, uh, Korean embassy, right?
Yeah.
I used to live in LA.
And when I lived there, I was a cop, and I lived right in K-Town.
-Oh, really? -Yeah!
Oh. It's good.
But, uh, I quit my job. I like kids,
so I'm doing the English teaching thing.
I also lived in Sydney and Tokyo, and taught there. All the good stuff.
Oh. It's good.
Yeah.
If you, uh...
If you need a private lesson in English,
give me a call, okay?
Okay.
Say goodbye. Watch yourself, be careful.
Bye, Jessica.
-Okay, bye, guys. -Bye.
Why are you dressed like that? Are you going somewhere?
I'm meeting somebody.
A meeting?
Hey, who are you...
Why is he calling me?
Hey, Chilgu.
Hey, Yoongi.
I'm in Manila right now. Are you free this evening?
You're in Manila right now?
Of course, I can see you.
Okay, then. I'll call you later this evening.
Sure, Chilgu. Sure.
Huh, what's the occasion?
Hey, Yoongi.
You're looking a lot better after becoming a consul, right?
What do you mean better?
I'm just having a tough time in a foreign country.
You're the one who looks better, actually.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
You didn't even call to tell me that you were coming.
I'm here for work.
I wanted to see you before going to Caliz.
Why are you going to Caliz?
I'm building a hotel there.
You are?
Yeah.
I need to get so many different approvals, though.
And each one of them takes ages, really.
Well, of course. You're in the Philippines.
You know,
if you're not a resident, it'll be hard to get those approvals.
So I've teamed up with a Korean who's a resident.
He runs a casino.
A casino?
You know, people in that kind of business are pretty shady.
Why are you trying to do business with somebody like that, Chilgu?
It's fine. I've known him for a really long time.
How big are you thinking?
I'm thinking about an 18-hole golf course and 300 rooms.
Three hundred?
Wow, it's really a huge scale, seriously.
Can I be a part of it too? Is there anything that I can do?
You could ask your father-in-law to make an investment.
Is he still the mayor?
Come on, he resigned a long time ago.
-Oh... -Chilgu, I'm being serious.
You need to have a connection like me
if you don't want to get backstabbed while doing business here.
It takes months to just get electricity and water around here.
Of course, I know that.
But you're so busy. Do you really think that you can do stuff for me?
I'm not busy.
And even if I am busy, I'd do anything for you.
Don't worry about it.
Hey, Mija.
-She's the manager here. -Oh.
-Did you call for me? -He's a really important businessman
from Korea,
so make sure to impress him.
All right.
What drink would you like?
How about the 21-year-old Veltvin?
Just get whatever you usually get. I'm fine with anything.
I'll buy today.
Well, you pay for me all the time.
The 21-year-old Veltvin, please.
I'll set that up for you right away.
Wait just a little bit longer for the girls to arrive, okay?
Sure.
I need to use the bathroom. Oh.
Hey, Mija, Mija. Hey.
How much will my order come out to be, including the second round?
About 50 thousand pesos.
Fifty thousand...
Then charge him 100 thousand pesos today
and put that 50 thousand on me at the end of the month.
Isn't that too much, Yoongi?
It's fine, he's loaded. Just get us the right girls.
Yoongi, Yoongi.
Can I pay the bill for this month next month?
You see, one of my girls screwed up pretty badly,
so I'm having a hard time.
Hey, why are you telling me about your problems?
You're so weird.
Don't give me the bullshit. I want the payment this month,
or I'll have this shop shut down.
How do I look?
Wow, I guess you used to be a flight attendant after all.
Mr. Cha.
Thank you. I'll make sure to give it my best.
Sure. I'm looking forward to working with you.
The uniform looks good on you.
Hello. I'm Philip.
He's an agent, too.
Oh.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Thank you so much. I love you.
Just do your job.
Of course.
Oh, one of our honeybees got us a new customer.
He wants to introduce you to him.
Who is it?
Professor Na.
He's super excited.
He said that this one should be enough to pay off his debts entirely.
There are people here who we call "honeybees."
They're people who can't leave the casino
although they've lost all their money there.
They bring more customers to the casino.
Ugh.
Hey, Sukwoo!
Hey, Professor Na. Welcome.
It's been a while.
Wow, how many years has it been?
Wow, it's so nice to see you here.
Here are my wife and daughter.
-Oh, hello there. -Hello.
-Oh. -So this is Seoyoung?
Yeah.
-Wow, you're old enough to get married! -Come on.
Hey, Sukwoo, where's your oldest son?
Oh, he runs a tire shop.
He's so busy that he has no time to see me.
What's he working so hard for?
He could just inherit his father's business.
Well, he's proud of what he does. Here, sit, sit.
All right, then.
Wow, you're looking great.
How are you liking the Philippines?
It's decent.
Is your business going well, Sukwoo?
I don't have to do much. It basically runs itself.
And I'm going to start doing business in China now.
Oh, really?
Wow, that's great.
Are you not going to venture into the Philippines, though?
Well, actually, I've been looking for a factory site,
but I'm not sure if it'll work.
But government offices are involved in everything around here.
A lot of Chinese factories are coming over here nowadays.
-Oh. -In Korea,
the biggest problem is the unions, but there's nothing like that around here.
True.
It must be really nice in the Philippines.
Sukwoo,
I'll introduce you to some really decent people.
Really?
I mean, sure. I'd love that.
Here.
Here, let me pour you one.
Yeah.
Sukwoo, Mr. Cha right here is the most successful Korean immigrant
I know in the Philippines.
He has a lot of Filipino politician friends,
and he's best friends with the mayor.
Hey, don't say that.
I'm not, uh, I'm nothing that impressive.
I just make a living by doing a lot of different things
here and there.
How did you get such connections?
Well, Filipinos don't really like people who get all up in your business.
Oh.
They like me because I just stay behind the scenes
and give them their money.
-Uh, have you been living here... -Here.
...for a while?
Let's see, has it been 14 or 15 years?
I've been here for about 14 years.
Anyway, if you ever need anything, feel free to reach out to me.
I'll do my very best to help you.
Sure.
Look who it is!
I haven't seen you in a while, Mr. Cha.
Come on. Where have you been?
Are you neglecting your store now?
I was out golfing.
She's the owner here.
And this is Mr. Jeong from Seoul.
-Oh, hello. -Hello.
-You know Professor Na over here, right? -Yes, yes.
-Hello. Yes, yes. -It's been a while.
-Uh, Mr. Cha. -Yeah?
I have some friends visiting me from Korea,
and they're staying at your hotel.
Do you think that they could get an upgrade?
-How many? -Four.
They got two rooms.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
Well, then.
Text me their reservation.
Oh, oh, thank you so much.
I'll make sure that you get an exceptional service today.
I hope you enjoy the food.
Good.
Thanks so much, Mr. Cha.
Sure, sure.
-Uh, do you own a hotel? -Hmm.
No, no. I run a casino at a hotel.
Oh.
At which hotel?
Bolton.
Isn't that the best hotel in town nowadays?
Of course. It just opened and it's the best one.
Where are you staying, Sukwoo?
Oh, right. We're staying at Genoma Hotel.
Oh, Genoma?
-Yeah. -Oh.
That place is super neat. They just renovated their suites.
What kind of room did you get?
Well, since we have a kid and all, we just got a room with two beds.
My goodness. I'll get you upgraded.
I'm friends with the owner of that hotel.
-Oh, it's, it's fine. -No, no.
We're really good friends. Just hold on.
Oh...
Hi, bro.
A friend of mine is staying at your hotel.
Can you upgrade him?
Thanks.
Wait a moment.
Can you give me your passport?
Oh, sure.
Wait a moment.
I mean, it's really fine.
Just...
Uh, his name is Sukwoo Jeong.
Uh, S-E-O-K.
M7397137.
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my.
This is so nice.
What is this place?
Wow!
We're always working hard.
-So, what is it that we do? -Moosik.
-Hey, Jonghyun. It just came in. -First,
-we size them up on a professional level. -Thanks.
Okay. Stay healthy. I'll call you again.
We measure how much wealth that person has.
He's the CEO of Woosam Precision Machines,
with a profit of 81 billion won
and no debt.
Oh, he also privately owns a building
and some land in Jongno that's worth about 20 billion won.
That should be worth about 30 or 40 billion won, right?
Yeah. High five.
Once the target is identified...
...the second step is figuring out what they're like.
Nice!
You missed!
You missed.
I'm not having a good day today. Ugh.
-You missed, you missed, you missed. -All right, all right.
-All right... All right! -Okay!
Are you a putting machine or something?
How come you keep making birdies back to back?
Come on, Mr. Jeong. Be a good sport.
Hey, let's up the stakes a bit. This isn't exciting enough.
Sure thing.
He's really firing up my competitive spirit here.
-How about 10 million won per hit? -All right.
Go.
You're doing way too well all by yourself.
-Mr. Cha. -Yeah?
Want to play a game at your casino later?
Huh?
Come on, Mr. Jeong, don't do it.
You really want to gamble when your family's here, too?
Oh, come on. It's just for fun, right?
I want to take a look at where you work, too.
Yeah, let's do it. It's just for fun.
Still, Mr. Jeong, I don't think you should do it.
You came all the way here with your family.
You should stay with them.
They'll be fine by themselves.
I'll tell them to go shopping or something.
And I don't bet a lot. I set a limit and I stick to it, okay?
All right, then. You can just play a little bit.
Don't bet too much.
All right.
All right, let's go for an eagle!
And when I look at my target's weak spots...
-This way, please. -Sure.
...I can figure out his temper,
like what makes his blood boil
or when he has his ups and downs.
This man is obviously somebody who'll end up ruining himself with money.
It's nothing much.
It's basically a neighborhood drug store compared to other places.
Oh, I think it's just great.
All right, Mr. Jeong.
-This way, please. -Sure, sure.
-Hello. -Hey, which game is the cheapest?
Here's one that goes by 3,000 pesos.
Okay.
-Here. No pressure. -Sure.
Sukwoo.
I'm going to get going now.
Oh, why? You should play with me.
I'm not that good at this stuff.
Have fun. I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay, then.
-Bye. -Have a great time.
-Okay. -See him out.
-Yes, sir. After you. -Yeah.
-Sure. -You can sit here.
-Sure. -All right.
Wow, it's been so long.
Thanks.
Don't gamble that one away, okay?
Of course not.
Give Mr. Cha my thanks.
Sure, sure. Goodbye, now.
Okay. Bye.
Bye.
-Damn it. -Hello.
Huh? Hello.
-Looks like you're working today. -Yeah.
Yeah, right, right. I was just doing something, uh...
You moved here from Korea?
Yeah. I moved here with my parents when I was a kid,
and I've stayed ever since.
Mm.
You said that you used to be a flight attendant, right?
Yeah.
I see, so that's why.
I mean, you just look amazing in your uniform.
Doesn't it look a bit awkward, though?
No, no. Not at all.
You have such a great body shape.
You seriously look so beautiful.
By the way, what's that tattoo?
This?
It's nothing special. I got it when I was younger.
-Hmm. -Huh?
It's really unique.
I've never seen it before.
Oh, you've never seen it before?
By the way, Jungpal really likes you, Sojung.
We're not like that.
Really?
Well, then. Do you want to have dinner with me some other time?
Sure.
All right.
Okay, then.
Bye.
Damn, I think I chose the wrong seat.
Mr. Jeong, what's the largest amount of money that you've ever won in a game?
Well, I've won 10 million won before,
and I once won 20 million won on a machine
but lost it all on Baccarat.
-I once won 300 million won... -Right.
...with just 50 thousand won.
It was in Manila.
Really?
Yes, I did.
But I gave it all to a friend.
Wow, you're a generous man.
He could play with 10 million won for a week.
I wouldn't last five seconds with 10 million won...
Hey, Mr. Jeong.
I have to go now.
Why? You're not going to play with me?
I have a prior appointment.
-Oh. -Yeah.
All right, then.
Make sure that Mr. Jeong feels comfortable,
and get him back to the hotel safely after the game.
-Yes, sir. -All right.
No, no. I can grab a taxi.
-Don't worry about me. -No, no.
Don't you worry about it, Mr. Jeong.
Consider it a favor from a friend.
Yeah. Don't worry and just enjoy.
Well, thank you, then.
I hope you win big.
-Thanks. -Good luck.
Thanks. It was fun.
All right.
Bye.
Wow, he's so nice.
Yeah, what is it?
Mr. Cha.
He's already out of money. He wants to borrow some.
How much?
500 thousand pesos.
500 thousand pesos?
Yeah.
Let him borrow it.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter if he begins with a million or 10 million won.
I can get him to borrow 10 billion won in the end.
Hey.
Mr. Jeong.
You already lost all your money?
No, I still have some.
All right. Why don't you call it a night and go diving with me tomorrow?
Think about your family.
Let me just finish this round.
Why am I so bad at Baccarat?
When it's not working out, maybe you should just stop.
I'm going to finish this one then stop. I swear.
You can't last ten minutes in Baccarat with this.
Right?
Can I borrow just 500 thousand pesos, then?
I'll send you the money right away when I go back to Korea.
All right, then.
But don't just spend it all. Try to play with it for a while.
Okay.
Philip, give Mr. Jeong 500 thousand pesos.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Do you not like to play, Moosik?
I played quite a bit when I was younger.
But I don't have the time for it anymore.
Oh, don't be like that. Let's play together, yeah?
All right, then.
Then I guess I'll play a round, since you're here.
-Yeah, let's do it. -Yeah. Please sit.
It's just for fun, anyway, right?
Yeah.
-500 thousand pesos for you. -All right.
Hey, bring me 10 million pesos from my deposit.
-10 million pesos? Yes, sir. -Yeah.
Aren't you going to play?
Well,
why don't you pick one for me?
Wow, this is hard. I feel so nervous
because you're right next to me.
No pressure. It's fine with me if I lose.
Hey, I think you should pick the player this time.
Player? Okay.
One million.
-No more bets. -Yes.
Sukwoo, can you just take a peek for me?
I'm so scared because I haven't done this in so long.
Just take a peek for me.
-You want me to do it? -Yeah.
Moosik, I think I'm going to win!
Did you get something?
I guess luck is on your side, Mr. Jeong.
Which one are you picking now?
If you were me, which one would you pick?
Player, of course.
Player again?
All right, player.
-Two million. -No more bets.
Um.
Mr. Jeong.
Can you do it one more time?
I won again!
I won! I won again!
Wow!
Congratulations, Mr. Jeong.
Which one this time?
Mr. Jeong, which one feels right this time?
Player, of course.
-Player? -Yeah, yeah.
Then, Mr. Jeong, this time...
...you can do 20 thousand pesos. I'll do 3 million.
If you lose money, I'll make it up to you.
No, no, it's okay.
Just think of it as insurance.
Make sure to pick a good one for me, though.
Really? Can I do that?
All right, then.
All right, Mr. Jeong.
Please make sure that everything goes well for me again.
That's it. All right.
I won! I won again!
You won again?
Wow, congratulations.
Congratulations, sir.
Wow, look at you.
Then that's six million pesos...
...excluding the original amount.
-Hey, put the 10 million pesos back. -Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jeong.
I need to go now. I have to meet someone.
Are you not coming back?
I'm coming back.
I'll come back, but I'll leave these chips here.
Okay?
You can play with your own chips first.
If you happen to lose them, then you can use my chips.
If you win any money with these, then it's all yours.
But if you lose money, I won't hold you responsible.
Can I really do that?
Of course. I won these thanks to your lucky peek, anyway.
But
please win. Please.
All right, okay.
Mr. Jeong, whatever you win with these chips is all yours.
Okay?
All right. Thanks.
-Good luck. -Good luck.
I'm going now.
-Bye. -Bye.
Once I've sized up somebody, I can invest billions of won in them.
I can do that because I know for sure I'll get that money back.
Yeah, Mr. Cha.
He's playing by million pesos now.
And what's the score?
He won about 10 million pesos.
Stop him. Go in and stop him.
Yes, sir.
Damn.
Sir.
I'm going to count the chips.
Yeah, sure.
Sir. I know that Mr. Cha said
that you can keep whatever money that you win,
and that he won't hold you responsible for losing any money.
But you do need to give him six million pesos back since you've won.
Oh, of course.
-Here's the original six million pesos. -Yes, sir.
And here's the one million pesos that I borrowed.
Thank you, sir.
How did it go?
What happened?
He won 10 million pesos, excluding the original amount.
Oh yeah?
Congratulations, Mr. Jeong.
All right. Let's stop here and go drink some soju.
Soju?
If you keep playing, you'll lose money.
All right, let's call it a night.
-Hey, send him his winnings. -Yes, sir.
Wait, how are you going to send this money to Korea?
Sukwoo, we'll launder the money sparkling clean
and deposit it right into your account.
Really?
Of course. If anything happens, then call me. I'll take care of it.
He's nervous that he might
-lose the money that he won. -Here's a lighter.
He probably thinks that the people who work at a casino
are really cruel and scary.
Sorry.
You can keep this one.
Thank you.
Let's go, Mr. Jeong.
I'll buy you some soju, okay?
No, no. I'll buy it since I won the money.
You can use that money to buy your wife a nice car
once you're back in Seoul.
Let's go. I'm buying today.
I know a place that does really good spicy stew.
-Oh, okay. -Let's go.
Hey, deposit this into his account.
Yes, sir.
Don't worry.
-Let's go. -Uh, make sure that this...
Sure.
Good night.
My goodness.
Congratulations, Mr. Jeong.
The next time you're here, don't play so many games.
Go sightseeing with your wife, okay?
Sure, of course.
-Yeah. -Of course, I will.
When are you leaving?
The day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow?
Can I see your ticket?
Sure.
Mr. Jeong.
Don't fly economy anymore. You have me now.
I'll change it for you.
My goodness.
Hello.
Hey, can you upgrade plane tickets to business class for me?
Yeah, two adults and one child.
I'll pay for it.
The date?
February eighth.
I'm going downtown. Go do what you need to do.
Yes, ma'am.
And I'll contact you once the money gets deposited,
so put it into my account.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Ko!
Oh, oh my.
Ms. Ko!
Ms. Ko, I'm sorry!
Ms. Ko, I was so rude to you.
I'll never do it again. Please forgive me, Ms. Ko, please!
Jesus Christ. What are you doing?
Please, Ms. Ko.
If I don't have you, then I have nowhere else to go.
I'll do better, Ms. Ko.
What are you doing? Get her out of here.
-Please forgive me, Ms. Ko. -Just hold on.
-Just this once. -Hold on, hold on.
-I'll do better, I swear. -Hey!
Ms. Ko, Ms. Ko.
-Can you just talk to me? Ms. Ko! -I'm sorry.
Let go of me! What are you doing?
Let go!
Holy fuck, that's a bench press.
Damn, so that's why he works out?
Who is she?
She's one of our customers.
Her net worth is in the trillions.
Who is she?
Don't try to pry too much.
What?
Why would you say it like that?
That's not what I'm saying.
Whatever. Don't talk to me anymore.
Hey, don't get mad. Don't get mad. Come on.
I'll tell you who she is.
She's the CEO of Pastella.
Pastella?
Really?
She comes by every once in a while to play.
Two Korean college students who were
visiting tourist attractions in the Philippines
were murdered by Filipino gang members.
An investigation is currently being held...
A tourist getting shot in broad daylight?
Who will visit the Philippines now?
People are already saying
that the embassy can't even protect its own citizens.
We need a solution.
Uh, sir.
Either way, we need the help of the Filipino police,
but it's not easy to communicate with them.
And they're not entirely dedicated
because the crime involves foreign citizens.
Hmm.
Well...
What if we dispatch Korean police officers?
Oh...
The Filipinos probably won't accept that.
They might think that it's a violation of their sovereignty.
Has any other country ever done something like that?
I'm not too sure.
I don't think so.
Hmm. I mean, it'd be nice
to have officers stationed in crime-heavy areas at least.
That would be great, sir.
I think that it'd be easier if we put somebody in charge.
We'll be able to respond more quickly as well.
Sir, if you can
speak of this on the government level,
then we'll ask the relevant institutions for their cooperation.
Sure. Yeah.
Well, it sounds like you have
such a tough life.
What would you like for lunch, sir?
Oh, I've already made a reservation at a Korean restaurant.
Ugh, Korean food in the Philippines, too?
What else is there that tastes good?
Hey, Mr. Jeong.
Hey, Mr. Cha. How have you been?
Shouldn't you wait at least a month before calling to say hello?
Well, actually...
I was thinking about visiting you. I have a couple of days to waste,
with the company's founding anniversary and all.
Oh.
What about the golf club, then?
Should I bring one?
Oh, no, no.
I'll buy one for you. You can come empty-handed.
Just take a picture of the one that you use and send it to me.
Thanks, Moosik. I'll see you soon.
Sure.
All right. Come back. Come on back.
That was great, Mr. Jeong.
Yeah.
-Want a cigarette? -Sure.
Here you go.
By the way, Mr. Jeong.
If you keep acting like this, wouldn't your wife want to get a divorce?
My wife trusts me completely.
Mr. Jeong.
Still, you can't be sure that your business will always do well.
Shouldn't you have an apartment or two hidden away, just to be safe?
I've already given my wife a lot of them.
-I've set some aside for my kids too. -Hmm.
What about your company, then?
Well, my company can run itself. It's over 20 years old.
By the way, Mr. Jeong.
What exactly do you do?
I make antennas that go inside smartphones.
That's our technology.
-Oh, antennas for smartphones? -Yeah.
I didn't know people made stuff like that.
Hey, anyway,
I'm planning on playing a few rounds at your casino.
You can lend me some money, right?
How much do you need?
Well, about 100 million won.
I wasn't planning on playing, so I only brought 10 million won with me.
But I don't have anything else to do at night, anyway.
Then just use the 10 million won. My goodness.
How am I supposed to play anything with that money?
Come on, let me borrow some.
I'll send it to you once I get back to Korea.
Wow, you're a tough one.
Okay?
Sure, sure, sure.
Wow.
I had a great time thanks to you.
Thank you.
Next time, you should bring your wife along
and have a good time with her.
My wife is busy.
If I'm coming back, I'll come by myself.
I mean, I've left my golfing bag here and all.
Did you check the money that I sent?
Of course, I did. Thank you.
And I got a business class ticket this time.
That's good.
I mean, a man like you has a pride to keep.
Oh.
-I'll get going, then. -Sure.
-See you soon. -All right. Have a safe flight.
-Yeah, bye. -Goodbye.
I'll call you.
Wow, he got pretty lucky.
I didn't know that he'd win again.
Hey, let's go eat. I'm hungry.
What do you want?
How about ramen?
Put some rice cakes in it this time, okay?
Enough about those rice cakes!
Hello, Ms. Ko. I'm the manager of this hotel, Kim Sojung.
How are you liking your food?
It's good.
Would you like any drinks or coffee?
It's fine.
Yes, ma'am.
We got some fresh lobster today.
Would you like one?
I don't eat shellfish.
-Ms. Ko. -Hey.
Hello, hello.
Are you here to eat?
Yeah. I'm going to eat with her.
Are you two dating?
Not at all.
We're not.
We just happened to be free around the same time,
so we're eating together.
Also, I wrapped up everything with her and sent her back.
Want to eat together?
Huh? Well, if you're all right with it.
Sure.
I've been feeling a bit lonely.
Well, then. Let's eat together.
Thank you.
Thank you for the food, Ms. Ko.
Thank you.
Hmm.
Did your family move here too?
No, I'm the only one here.
My parents are back in Korea.
What do your parents do?
They're both high school teachers.
Sojung used to be a flight attendant.
Now she's working at this hotel.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Not yet.
Oh, why? You look like you'd be popular with guys.
I guess I just haven't found the right person yet.
Well, how about him?
He's handsome and has a good job.
Who, me?
Oh, no, Ms. Ko, Ms. Ko.
She's way out of my league.
I'm a huge fan, Ms. Ko.
When I was in Korea, I only used makeup from Pastella.
Especially, the eye creams are the best.
The best in the whole world.
I mean,
Ms. Ko has such a great eye for things.
When I look at them, all of those creams look the exact same.
But she can tell what they are just by touching them.
Well, that's all that I do.
What else do you like to do?
Uh, nothing special.
I don't do much when I'm not working.
Oh.
I like to drink.
So you don't gamble?
No.
I'm not very good at it.
Well, that's good.
You could screw over your life with just one wrong move.
Uh...
I've read all the news articles about you.
You're my role model, really.
Thanks.
If you ever need anything, please call me.
I can even be your drinking buddy.
Sure.
By the way, I heard that Ms. Ko...
...sold Patella Cosmetics to a foreign company for two trillion won.
She probably got over a trillion won in cash, after taxes.
One trillion?
Damn! That's amazing.
Whoa.
What else is Ms. Ko doing?
Well...
She told me that she's preparing something,
but I don't know what it is exactly.
Oh, she also asked Mr. Cha to invest in something,
but he said that he won't invest in things that he doesn't know about.
Wow, she really started from rock bottom, didn't she?
That's even more impressive.
She's really a self-earned success.
It's self-made. Self-made.
Yeah.
Hmph, you're an ass.
Come here, come here, come here, come here.
Come on, come on, come on.
Yeah?
Hey, you know, Ms. Ko
really has a unique personality.
She's so suspicious of everything.
I mean...
...she seriously thinks that everyone is out to steal her money, for real.
Ugh.
Well, of course, she does, considering who she is.
Still, I think she likes you. She asked me about you again today.
Really?
Yeah.
What did she ask?
If we're sleeping together.
What?
That's what she wanted to know?
Right? That's what I'm saying.
By the way, that rumor about Ms. Ko,
is it true?
What rumor?
Did you do it, too?
No! Are you crazy?
Come on, be honest.
I'll forgive you.
What are you even talking about? Don't be weird.
Hmm?
Oh, that's a call.
Is it mine?
No, it's mine.
Who is it?
-Hey, who is it? Huh? Who is it? -Just give me a second.
JUNGPAL
SOJUNG
WELCOME INSPECTOR OH SEUNGHUN
Hello.
I'm sorry. I'm a bit late.
I'm consul Jo Yoongi from the embassy.
-Hello, I'm Oh Seunghun. -Hello.
By the way, what took you so long?
I thought you missed the plane.
Oh, what happened is
the people at border control wouldn't let me leave.
They put all these people in the waiting room
without air conditioning.
It was awful. I'm sorry.
I see. Well, let's get going.
All right. Sure, sure.
Mr. Jo, I'm sorry,
but could I smoke just one cigarette?
Sure. You can smoke in the car.
All right.
Uh, I'm going to put out this cigarette.
-Hey, hey, I'm, I'm still drinking... -Oh, you were drinking...
I'm sorry. I'll get you another one later. I'm sorry.
You could've just tossed it outside.
All right. I'm sorry.
Uh...
they didn't know what the Korean Desk is, right?
My goodness.
Yeah. I showed them my dispatch papers and ID,
but they didn't know anything about it.
It makes sense that they don't know. It just came to be.
This is your first time in the Philippines, right?
Yeah.
You should have told them that you're here for golf.
By the way, how old are you?
Well, you're my senior. You can talk to me casually.
Well, we can just take things slow.
Are you married?
No, not yet.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Uh, not yet.
You seem like a decent guy.
How come you don't have a girlfriend?
Well, do you like golfing?
No, I've never tried it before.
Well, that's good. You can just learn how to play golf while you're here.
Sure.
Since you're working by yourself,
nobody's going to tell you what to do anyway.
This is a great place to go golfing.
Okay.
