Never mind.

You should go.

Hey, Ma.

I’m home.

Hey, Ma.

Mom, are you asleep?

Hey, Ma.

Mom, I’m home.

Come on.

I came home, Ma.

Hey, Ma.

Just, just open your eyes.

Come on.

I’m home now, Mom.

I got some money for us now.

We’ve got a real barista working for us here, and he can make you a cup as well.

I’m not sure if you’d like it that much.

Why am I here to see you?

Uh, sorry, you had to take the trip here.

I wanted to have a car sent out to you, but.

Why am I here?

What’s wrong?

Uh, well.

So you see, you created your account here quite a while ago and, and you haven’t made that much effort to contact us since.

What do you mean?

Did I do something wrong?

Huh?

Uh, uh, no.

It’s nothing like that, sir.

Uh, you’ve got all your money set up in a normal savings account.

You weren’t earning all that much interest on it.

And recently, our bank began offering these consultations for VIPs looking to expand their financial assets.

I wanted to let you know that we’re here to help.

I’m sure you’re keeping busy.

I just wanted to say.

Oh.

I’m sorry.

Did I offend you?

Could you help me out with something else?

Okay, what can we do?

Please spare me just 10,000 won?

What?

Uh.

All right, yeah.

Here, let me just.

Excuse me.

Would you buy some flowers?

Please, mister.

I need to get rid of them tonight or they’ll end up wilting away.

Thank you, mister.

I appreciate it.

Uh, here.

Have a good night.

Pour some water in there.

Please, Gi-hun.

Who are you?

You explain this.

You see him?

That man down there?

He must be drunk because he’s been sitting there for hours.

He looks homeless too if I had to guess.

You.

Were you the one who’s behind it?

He’s going to freeze to death if he stays out there any longer.

And no one is going over to help or anything.

Why the hell did you do it?

Would you help out that guy?

Answer me!

Why did you do that to us?

You think that you will stop walking and help that disgusting, stinking drunk, little piece of trash, huh?

Tell me who you are!

Why did I get to live and no one else?

Listen.

Let’s play something tonight.

That man out there if he remains out there until midnight, I win.

If anyone goes to help the drunk before then, in that case, you win.

Cut the crap, okay?

I could easily snap your neck right here.

If you do that, then you won’t get to hear my explanation for all this.

Play this game with me and.

I’ll give you the answer to your question.

And if I win then I’ll kill you without a second thought.

What will you bet on it with then?

Anything.

It doesn’t matter.

You might as well take everything I have.

So then who are you?

I earn a living, lending out money.

You give money to people for a living and you get rich doing it?

Money.

You know what making money is like.

It’s not simple to do.

So then was any of what you said true or was it all just a lie?

Oh Il-nam.

Is that even your real name, huh?

It is.

Yes, that’s real.

Oh Il-nam.

That tumor’s also real.

And it also had gotten larger too.

That’s true.

And the house

I used to live with my family in was almost exactly like that one in the alley.

That’s all true.

Can you still trust anybody to be good even after everything you’ve been through?

Why did you send a card?

I heard that all the money you won is just sitting there and that you are still living like you used to.

Is it all just because you feel guilty?

Guilt?

Shut up.

You don’t feel any guilt for what you did, do you?

It’s yours now.

That cash is your reward for your hard work and luck.

And you have every right to use it now.

Life goes by quick In one minute gone in a blink.

Why did you do something like this?

Do you know what someone who doesn’t have any money has in common with someone with too much money to know what to do with?

Living is no fun for either of them.

If you have too much money, then it doesn’t matter what you buy, or eat, or drink, or whatever.

Everything, well, it all gets boring.

All of my clients, started to eventually say the exact same things whenever we talked.

Everybody felt that there was no joy in their lives anymore.

And so, we decided to get together.

We did a little bit of thinking.

What could we all do to finally have some fun?

Some fun?

You put us through all of that so you can have fun?

It seems that you forgot how no one had to play, and you all put your signatures on the agreement.

And that you all made your decision to come back on your own.

Well, he’s still out there.

It looks like you’ve run out of luck.

Tell me you still trust in humanity being good?

I wanna know.

I wanna know why you joined us?

Oh, well, in my childhood

I always had so much fun out doing things with all of my friends.

We’d lose track of time for hours.

I wanted to just feel something just one last time before I die.

And you are not going to get that feeling if you are just going to spectate.

And I desperately wanted that.

And so did playing do that then?

Hell yeah.

You asked why I let you live.

By joining and playing with you.

I got that chance to feel again.

Thanks to you.

I got to remember all these things that I had forgotten long ago.

It had been such a long time.
