00:00The Johansson family, consisting of Scott, Kate, and Alex, were taking a campus tour at Bucknell
00:04University. Alex planned to study there next year, but instead of listening to the directions from
00:08the guide, Scott and Kate were busy warning Alex to avoid promiscuity when he was studying there.
00:13A few months later, Alex graduated and registered himself at Bucknell, and soon an email from campus
00:17arrived and was opened together with her parent. She was accepted. As a celebration of her acceptance,
00:22Scott held a party at his house. He invited the neighbors and friends from college, one of whom
00:26was Frank, a man known to be addicted to adult movies and gambling. Alex's study in college
00:31surely would cost money and Scott depended on the scholarship from the city government to pay the
00:35tuition. But at the city meeting that year, they were informed that the scholarship for high-achieving
00:39children would be stopped because the mayor Bob was going to build a public swimming pool.
00:43This construction required a large amount of funds so some of the budget funds would be diverted to
00:47finance the construction of the pool, including the scholarship budget. Scott and Kate immediately
00:52voiced their objection because Alex was supposed to be the scholarship recipient this year.
00:55This objection made Bob hold a vote to see who voted for the scholarship to continue and who
01:00voted for the construction of the swimming pool. The result was that almost all residents voted for
01:04the construction of the swimming pool, so Scott and Kate had to swallow their disappointment.
01:08The problem was that they didn't have spare money to pay for the tuition. To cover Alex's college
01:12costs, both of them looked for various ways to get extra money. They went to the bank to apply for a
01:16loan that the bank refused. Kate went to her old office and asked to be hired again, but the office
01:21couldn't just accept her after she resigned. Scott tried to ask his boss for a raise which she
01:25couldn't grant just because he would send his daughter to college. They were about to give up
01:29after all their efforts failed when they remembered that they had an appointment to go to Las Vegas
01:33with Frank. They decided to go to Frank's house and intended to cancel the promise, but when they got
01:37there, they saw Frank arguing with Raina, his wife. Raina could no longer stand Frank who was addicted
01:43to adult films and gambling, and the worst thing was that Frank couldn't give up his habit of gambling.
01:47Frank looked very messy because Raina asked him to divorce, making Scott back down his intention
01:51to cancel the trip, especially when Frank said that he had been waiting for the trip to calm his heart.
01:56In the end, the three of them still went to Vegas and visited the casino there.
02:00When they entered one of the casinos, Frank looked livelier and happier. He even invited Scott and Kate
02:04to bet in the game. At first, Scott and Kate didn't want to, but when Frank promised that they could
02:09pay for Alex's college if they won, Scott's interest was piqued. He bet several hundred dollars for the
02:14number four even though Frank thought four was an unlucky number, but miraculously, Scott actually
02:18won. Moreover, the win wasn't just a one-off. Frank felt like Scott was in lucky mode at that time,
02:24so he asked Scott to keep betting everything. The money that once was only a few dollars was
02:28raised to become enough to pay Alex's college tuition, but at that time, Scott wasn't satisfied
02:32yet and decided to bet all his money back on number four, but this was where Scott's luck ran out
02:37because the last dice no longer gave the number four but the number seven. This made Scott lose all his
02:42money, including the money he once had, but even though he lost, Frank kept trying to cheer him
02:46up by saying that it was natural for the bookie to win in the end. Hearing this, Scott casually asked
02:51about what if he was the bookie. Surprisingly, Frank took it seriously and after returning from
02:55Las Vegas, Frank presented his idea to get a lot of money in a short time, namely to open their own
02:59casino. He even presented the gambling algorithm on how the bookie would always end up winning.
03:05Frank's presentation interested Scott but not Kate, considering that the risk was very big if caught,
03:08but Scott insisted on doing it because they didn't have any other to pay Alex's college tuition.
03:14In the end, for Alex's sake, Kate agreed to the idea. Frank immediately turned his house into a
03:18casino since there were a lot of empty rooms because his wife left carrying most of the things in the
03:22house. The fence of the house was also very high and soundproof, so it was difficult to be seen from
03:27outside if they were running a casino in the house. Apart from that, there was a secret entrance that had
03:31been prepared. Later, the players' cars would be parked at the supermarket behind Frank's house.
03:35While Frank prepared his house, Scott and Kate were tasked with looking for the players. They both
03:39met each of their friends or neighbors who had a lot of money and were busy with work.
03:43Scott was very sure they would be interested in gambling as an outlet for stress because they
03:46were too busy working. After several players were gathered, they were directed by Scott to enter
03:50through the supermarket, then out the back door, and ended up in Frank's backyard. They didn't expect
03:55Frank to turn his house into a casino with lots of machines that they could try. The game started
03:59and everyone enjoyed their time while Frank, Scott, and Kate monitored and occasionally provided
04:03the facilities needed by the players. Every day, Frank added new machines and new people started
04:08to come. Apart from providing a bar to relax, Frank also provided an entertainment venue in the form of
04:12stand-up comedy. The casino ran smoothly in the first week. However, there was one problem, they ended
04:18up losing $3,500 because many visitors actually won at their table. Scott and Kate started to get
04:23nervous, especially when they got the details of tuition fees reaching $50,000. Entering the second week,
04:28Frank installed five safes, each of which can hold $100,000. If the safe was full, they would get
04:33$500,000, which would then be divided equally. New visitors kept coming, but the large number of
04:38visitors also created new problems. One day, players named Reggie and Garvey got into a fight because
04:43one of them lost a bet. They got involved in a fight so Scott had to stop them, but Frank instead
04:48facilitated them in a boxing ring and invited the other players to place bets. Unexpectedly, their fight
04:53ended quickly when Garvey was immediately KO-ed in just one hit. This made a visitor named Martha
04:57dissatisfied because she bet on Garvey's win. Her complaint was followed by a player named Laura.
05:02They continued fighting in the ring, replacing Reggie, which had won by a landslide.
05:07This time, the game was much more exciting because Martha and Laura were equally strong.
05:10Both of them fought until they were bloody, and no one seemed superior. In the end, both were knocked
05:15out at the same time, and because there was no winner, all the betting money belonged to the bookie
05:19and added a great income for the casino. Frank decided to expand the business by adding a swimming
05:23pool area and a massage place to make visitors feel at home and spend more time at the casino.
05:27At the weekly meeting at the city hall, many residents were absent for no apparent reason.
05:32Laura was one of those present, but she came with a battered face. Bob asked her about the
05:35reason behind her battered face, but Laura, who was still annoyed about last night's defeat,
05:39instead interpreted Bob's question as a challenge. After the meeting was finished,
05:43Bob called an officer named Chandler and asked him to find out what was going on in the city.
05:48After several days of watching the neighborhood, Chandler found that there was a supermarket whose
05:51parking lot was always full every night. He monitored the condition of the supermarket and saw a
05:56suspicious visitor whom he then followed to the back of the supermarket. He didn't immediately
06:00confront him and came back the next morning. The next morning in the forest, he met Frank who was
06:04seen putting something in his pocket. Chandler was suspicious and asked, but Frank swiftly took his
06:09cell phone and accused Chandler of entering his property without permission. Apart from almost being
06:13caught by the police, they also faced a problem, namely that a cheater. Frank found him via CCTV and he
06:19intended to confront the player to stop cheating. At first, they only reminded him through words,
06:23but because they looked amateur at handling the problem, the person just laughed them off.
06:28He felt brave because he was Tommy's subordinate, a cruel lone shark in town.
06:31Scott took an axe to scare him and that was when the mistake happened. He accidentally chopped off
06:35the man's finger. The next day, Scott was haunted by feelings of guilt because he had cut someone's
06:39finger. He kept hallucinating seeing a finger or seeing someone cutting off their finger.
06:44He immediately hid at Frank's house and told Frank his problem which Frank reassured him that it was all
06:48just hallucinations and most importantly, people were afraid of him. It was true because since that
06:53incident, everyone no longer dared to go into debt without paying. They were afraid of having their
06:57fingers cut off if they were late or didn't pay the debt. The proceeds from collecting the debt were
07:01quite large. They decided to use some of it to have dinner at a luxury restaurant, but when they were
07:05enjoying their food, Frank saw Raina, his ex-wife, who came with another man. Frank approached him
07:10intending to beat him, but unfortunately, the man was stronger than him and easily pinned him down.
07:14Chandler was called by the restaurant and reminded Frank not to make commotions. Not long after,
07:19Bob came with his secretary and they were suspicious of the unusual appearance of Scott
07:23and his wife. The next night, Bob and Chandler went to Frank's house. Chandler was very sure that
07:27the parking lot, which was always full at the supermarket, must have something to do with
07:31Frank's house, so he invited Bob to come with him to investigate. When Chandler entered, he was
07:35immediately shocked when he saw that Frank's house was a fully-fledged casino, where there were lots of
07:40slot machines and gamblers. When they found out the police were coming, everyone immediately ran out and
07:44all that was left was Scott, Frank, and Kate. Every corner of the room was searched by Bob and Chandler,
07:50until finally, they entered Frank's room where the stakes were kept. Bob found all the money and
07:54immediately confiscated it, saying it was for city development purposes. This incident was a blow to
07:58Scott and Kate, who had been working hard to raise money for Alex's college fees. Scott intended to stop
08:03everything because the world of gambling was not for them, but Kate didn't want to give up yet.
08:07She intended to call all the customers and tell them that the casino was still in the business.
08:10This succeeded in inviting customers back to spend their money at the casino, but just as they
08:15restarted the casino, they got unexpected guests, namely Alex and Tommy. Alex came to the casino because
08:21he was invited by her friends and was surprised to find her parents were the ones who ran the casino.
08:25Meanwhile, Tommy came because he wanted revenge for his subordinate's cut finger. He was looking for
08:30the one who cut the finger and wanted to ask him to pay compensation. Tommy searched the entire casino
08:34until he met Frank, who directed him to Scott and Kate. Tommy immediately saw the safes and asked for
08:40compensation for his subordinate's fingers with the money there. Kate tried to explain that they had
08:44just been robbed so there was no more money to give, but this made Tommy annoyed and he immediately
08:48took Alex's collateral so that Scott would pay anyway. He handcuffed his hand with Alex's so she
08:53couldn't run away. Tommy didn't realize it when Scott was suddenly behind him with an axe in his hand.
08:58Through his wife's help, he had the opportunity to cut off the handcuffs that were binding Tommy and
09:01Alex's hands, but instead of breaking the handcuff, he accidentally missed it and cut Tommy's arm.
09:06Tommy screamed hysterically while holding his amputated arm. It didn't stop
09:10there. Kate came with a flamethrower and tried to scare Tommy, only to end up burning his other
09:14hand. She panicked and asked someone to put out the fire. Scott went to get water in a glass and
09:19poured it without knowing that the water was vodka. Tommy's men also tried to put out the fire with
09:23a water gun, but it turned out that it was also filled with vodka. Frank tried to put off the fire
09:27by rolling Tommy on his casino carpet. Unfortunately, the fire spread and burned the whole house and all
09:33its contents. Frank's house burned down, causing all the money from the casino to also be burned.
09:37Scott and Kate once again failed to send Alex to college. This time, they were honest with Alex
09:42about the possibility that she would not be able to go to campus. They also said that Bob had taken
09:46the money they intended to use to pay for the tuition. Alex was very upset to hear Bob's name
09:50who made all this tragedy happen, so she thought she would take back the money that had been collected
09:55by her parents. At first, Scott and Kate thought they wouldn't be able to get their money back,
09:59but suddenly Chandler offered help to them to take their money back. It turned out that Chandler was fed up
10:04with Bob because Bob never really cared about the city. Recently, he found out that Bob and his
10:08secretary were having an affair and Bob used the city funds to finance his affair. When Scott heard
10:13that all the money he made was used by Bob for useless things, he was so triggered and together
10:17with Kate decided to take matters into their hands. They worked together with Chandler to lure Bob out of
10:22his office by showing a video containing the people mocking him at the casino. Bob was offended and
10:27intended to raid the casino with Chandler. After leaving the office, the Johansson family entered the office
10:32and opened Bob's safe to take all the money. Luckily, Bob still put all the money in the
10:36suitcase, so they had no problem taking it away. Unfortunately, Bob's secretary saw them came out
10:42of his office and immediately reported it to Bob. Bob returned and still had time to intercept them
10:47who almost managed to escape. They ran to avoid Bob. They slipped, but Bob managed to get up first
10:51and grab the suitcase. When Bob entered the meeting room, Scott jump kicked Bob so he couldn't escape
10:56anymore. He intended to take his suitcase back, but Bob had already handcuffed his hands with the
11:00suitcase. Scott immediately took an axe and swung at the handcuffs. This time, he managed to hit the
11:05handcuffs without cutting Bob's hands. Right after that, Chandler came and Bob ordered him to arrest
11:10the Johansson family, but of course, Chandler refused. Bob's secretary showed up and Bob hoped her to be on
11:15his side. Unfortunately, the secretary also turned away from him because she wanted to be loyal to her
11:20husband. Bob was left alone and angry because he had given everything he had to her. He even admitted
11:25that he had used the city budget for his affair. Scott then said that Bob's words had been recorded
11:29on camera so Bob immediately ran away from there. Finally, Scott could take the money home in peace.
11:35The money was immediately used to pay off Alex's tuition fees from Bucknell University
11:38so that Alex could study in college.
