00:01They say every man's got a line that he won't cross.
00:05Mine's always been more of a suggestion.
00:08But tonight...
00:09Tonight I found out just how far I'd go to win a game.
00:12No one survives.
00:16Well, you're a hard man to pin down, Jack.
00:19I almost thought you skipped town.
00:21You don't send the invitations, Vince.
00:23You send goons.
00:24And they don't knock.
00:27Well, I thought we had a...
00:28We had an understanding.
00:29We had an understanding towards each other.
00:31You take my money.
00:33You deliver.
00:34And now it seems like my money have brought me an empty file.
00:38And I hope on your excuse.
00:40There's nothing quite like staring down the barrel of your own bad decisions.
00:45Especially when they come with a double-breasted suit.
00:48And a reputation for making bodies disappear.
00:52I found a slight because your problem is bigger than you think.
00:55This guy you want me to find?
00:56He's not just hiding.
00:57He's got protection.
00:59Federal kind.
01:00Oh, that sounds like you're selling me a reason.
01:03I don't want a reason.
01:04I want a result.
01:06Results take time.
01:08Time takes money.
01:09And you didn't exactly pay me for the long haul.
01:11I knew I was playing with fire.
01:13What I didn't know was whether I wanted to burn out or burn him down with me.
01:22You're out of time Calloway.
01:23You bring me what I want.
01:24And I'll show you what happens when people don't.
01:26What happens Vince?
01:27I get an all expenses paid trip to the bottom of East River?
01:30You'll be lucky then.
01:31One week.
01:32That's all you got.
01:33They say the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
01:46But with Vince, you don't get the luxury of a choice.
01:50You just hope you see him coming.
01:56Funny thing about poker.
01:58You can play the best hand you got.
02:00And still lose.
02:02But me?
02:03I'm not playing the lose.
02:05I'm just hoping the deck ain't stacked too high against me.
02:20I'm not playing the bank.
02:21I can try and play.
02:22In this case.
02:23I don't know how much time you got there.
02:25We're leaving.
02:26They're still in telling you.
02:27What's the race?
02:28I can play the best hand you got away.
02:29Some people can play like that.
02:30I don't know.
02:31It's a good part.
02:32I'm not.
02:33I'm not.
02:34I'm not.
02:35I'm not.
02:36I'm not.
02:37I'm not.
02:38I'm not.
02:40I'm not.
02:41I'm not.
02:42I'm not.
02:43I'm not.
02:44I'm not.
02:45I'm not.
02:46I'm not.
02:47I'm not.
02:48I'm not.
