Son of a bitch!

FOR THE EMPEROR

I really don't get it.

I don't know if that was a miscalculation on his part,

or limitation of his control,

but he couldn't fulfill his duties as a relief pitcher,

and completely blew the lead...

Where did it all begin?

Busan High Pitcher Lee Hwan leads team to series win

MVP Pitcher Lee Hwan

Scouted to Red Whales

Most Anticipated Debut

Sudden Shoulder Injury

Dropped to 2nd String

A walk, then a triple in the 9th,

and a loss by 2 equals 50x payout.

Is he really a rookie?

His accuracy is one of a kind.

Let's finish the deal.

Fine!

Hey!

Everything's here?

It was a few hundred short last time.

Don't be a cheapskate over pocket change.

We got heavy unloaders today, play a few hands.

It's littered with rich fucking posers.

See you. Let's go.

Hwan, let's do this again soon.

You're short a bundle.

Did I bring you to the 1st string for sucking me off?

Commission, asshole.

Motherfucker...

Incoming raid! Get out!

Catch-and-release is my job as a prosecutor.

Treat me to fancy sushi soon.

Take care, Sang-ha.

Even penny slot players are gamblers.

You're lucky, Hwan.

Bud!

Isn't this yours?

Look at them bruises, are you alright?

It looks pretty bad.

My heart fucking aches...

Listen here.

Loans are supposed to be paid back, not to be forgotten.

If you paid in time, you coulda saved them bruises,

and have a good laugh.

Who the fuck?

I want my money.

Is that fucking mutt lost?

- Here. - Yes, sir.

Listen here, you shit,

you're so out of your...

Wait!

It's the king of game fixer, Lee...

Look, look.

Stop right there.

You really surprised me.

A tough guy, eh?

I don't know what your deal is,

but being an athlete means shit in this part of town.

Tossing balls now and then,

and street fights are...

I said I'm sorry.

Fuck your fucking sorry, fucker.

I need to be compensated, $10,000.

Give me a card.

Hwangje Capital

- It's him? - Yes, boss.

He was kicked out for game-rigging.

He's the one.

Cute.

You outnumbered him, yet, he still bested you?

If I wanted to, I could have smashed his spine and every bone in his body.

But we outnumbered him,

so we went gentle.

Hey, you'll freeze to death.

Get up, mister!

Out of my way!

Look at this prick.

It's unacceptable to come back empty from a collection.

Jong-ho, weren't you on top of this?

Rockfish still has some clout on the streets.

Shit could hit the fan if we don't tread carefully.

Don't make excuses like a bitch.

You're the fuck who called?

This guy's a piece of work.

You want a loan for the compensation?

Isn't that why you wanted to see me?

I don't got shit.

So why shouldn't I ask a shady loan shark?

Brave motherfucker, this one.

Get the fuck up,

if you wanna keep breathing!

Enough.

I did ask for you.

What'll you do for the money?

Shouldn't you at least have some credibility?

He's called Rockfish a retired gangster.

This fat fuck took off with our money.

Young man, isn't life more important than money?

Don't get worked up and get killed,

sit this one out and observe.

See how pros do it.

- Let's go! - Yes, boss.

Bring Sang-ha, you hear me?!

Stay out of this, I got this!

Son of a whore!

Come at me!

Who the fuck are you?

Do you know who I am?

So, you're goldfish?

Goldfish?

Goldfish?!

Time to pay up

if you had enough fun.

Motherfucker!

What the fuck...

Rockfish's all but finished in Busan.

Done deal?

Everyone knows you now, what will you do?

- Why do you care? - Why shouldn't I?

Continue working for us.

You got the chops.

Overconfidence alone won't put food on the table.

Either cook, or line up at a soup kitchen.

If not...

starve to death.

When does he start?

He'll report tomorrow, sir.

Life's full of ironies.

How's Madame Cha?

She's doing well.

The old man likes her too.

Tell her to keep a good watch.

Put him in good mood.

Yes, sir.

Hi!

Got a boner?

Let's go.

Boss, he's in great shape.

I picked out his clothes.

He's got a good build, so everything fits.

Even rags look good on him.

Fuck that shit, look how skinny he is.

Leave the past behind, and have a fresh start.

Yes, sir.

Come on, boss!

He took care of a weak ass bitch,

there's no need to put him on a high horse.

Fucking gambler.

What the fuck are you staring at?

I'll fucking rip your eyes out!

Boy, get up

Get the fuck up!

Calm down.

Hwan is now part of the family.

Raise your glasses.

Didn't make you for a cheap drunk.

Stay with Kyung-su and learn the ropes.

Yes, sir.

Wait, come here.

Fucking smooth.

Stick it at the right height.

When you're on the toilet,

squeezing shit out,

your soul is also released...

And at that moment, they have to see the sticker.

Don't you see this?

I know it's an Au-fucking-di.

- It's worth more than... - Fine, deal's over.

Wait, please!

Let's go.

No, I'm not done here.

Hold on a minute.

1-click Bets - League Schedule

Let's go.

Did you turn it off?

I picked a few teams.

You fucking nuts?!

Fuck off!

Hands off!

HVe-jllng, you're up.

100 grand!

200!

Jackpot! Holy fucking shit!

Going home?

What's the most useless thing in our business?

Sir?

Sympathy.

Sympathy won't make you rich.

If you sympathize with a pig, how'd you eat pork?

So cool...

You see?

Once you let go of sympathy, you gain respect.
