00:00:00Hey! Hey! Get back here! Get back here! Hey, get the fuck out of here!
00:00:18It's all good. You have a good night, Bonnie, class.
00:00:20You okay?
00:00:23Be a little more careful next night, right? I won't be there to save you.
00:00:26Wait, please don't go.
00:00:28I'm sorry, I don't have time. I need to...
00:00:31It's okay, I already have.
00:00:33Check the engraving. If you don't really believe that, it's yours.
00:00:38How much?
00:00:43You stole it back from them. That's why they're chasing you, huh?
00:00:47Let me give you a ride.
00:00:49Thanks, but I don't really have anywhere to go.
00:00:51I'll take you anywhere you need to go.
00:00:53I'm good, thanks.
00:00:54Come on, trust me.
00:00:55Okay, wait. What the hell are you doing?
00:00:57This is kidnapping. What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:01:00I'm rewarding you for returning my property.
00:01:03Do you have any idea how much this watch is worth?
00:01:05500 grand. Probably new.
00:01:08100 on the black market. 200 if you know where to look.
00:01:12100 grand would help you, wouldn't it?
00:01:14So, why didn't you take it?
00:01:17I'm not a thief.
00:01:18You're a pickpocket, but not a thief.
00:01:22Kind of an odd profession.
00:01:29What's your name?
00:01:30Lil?
00:01:33Come on.
00:01:37Don't you want to know my name?
00:01:39The name of your rescuer?
00:01:40You mean my kidnapper?
00:01:42Yeah, no, thanks. I'm good.
00:01:45Fine.
00:01:46Suit yourself.
00:01:48Let's go.
00:01:55Jerome?
00:01:56Good evening, Mr. Sterling.
00:01:58Wait.
00:01:59You're Nathan Sterling?
00:02:00The billionaire?
00:02:02Yes.
00:02:04Great.
00:02:06Would you lead our guest to her room?
00:02:07Yes, sir.
00:02:09Right this way, man.
00:02:10Jerome, have Maison send over some clothes for Lil in the morning?
00:02:13Yes, sir.
00:02:14And Lil, be sure to shower.
00:02:17Right this way, man.
00:02:20And here you are.
00:02:22If there's anything you need, just let me know.
00:02:33You know, this is actually the first girl you've let stay over.
00:02:38So, tell me about her.
00:02:40I don't know.
00:02:41She reminds me of a little mouse.
00:02:45And these big eyes that see everything, but very twitchy.
00:02:50Do you even know what she likes to eat?
00:02:52Not a clue.
00:02:53I think she'd eat anything right about now.
00:02:57Cheese.
00:02:57That's what nice.
00:02:59Like to eat.
00:03:01Nathan, you can pick your jaw up off the floor, Nathan.
00:03:04Good morning, Lil.
00:03:08How about I whip you up an arm?
00:03:09Yeah, that'd be amazing.
00:03:11If it's not too much trouble.
00:03:12No trouble at all.
00:03:13It's actually one of Mr. Sterling's favorites.
00:03:17You look...
00:03:19Clean?
00:03:20Different.
00:03:21Good different.
00:03:23So, look, you can stay here as long as you need to, okay?
00:03:27And then later on, I'll figure out what to do with you.
00:03:31Go.
00:03:34Looks amazing.
00:03:36Just waiting until you taste it.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43We are having a huge issue here at the casino.
00:03:47Uh, fine.
00:03:48I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:03:50Sir, the situation is escalating.
00:03:52Okay, so do your job and find me.
00:03:55Sorry, I have an emergency at one of the card rooms I own.
00:03:57Just stay here, relax, until I get back.
00:04:00Can I come?
00:04:02You really want to?
00:04:05Okay.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07Uh, get dressed.
00:04:07We'll leave in five.
00:04:08Oh, uh, I couldn't find any of my clothes this morning.
00:04:11Yeah.
00:04:12Uh, I had Jerome burn those.
00:04:14But, trust me, I did you a favor.
00:04:16There was no saving.
00:04:18Those were the only clothes that I had.
00:04:20What are these?
00:04:20No, this is too much.
00:04:24I can't.
00:04:25Yes, you can.
00:04:26Unless you want to go naked, of course.
00:04:35Ready?
00:04:37Okay.
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39Uh, and don't make me regret this.
00:04:42No promises.
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:50Son of a bitch.
00:04:55What is going on here?
00:04:56Are you watching this?
00:04:57Everybody shut the hell up, please.
00:05:01What the fuck happened?
00:05:02Sir, a gentleman arrived early this morning.
00:05:06He is clearing out the card tables.
00:05:09He's currently at the blackjack table.
00:05:12He is cheating.
00:05:14We just don't know how.
00:05:16He's up 750k.
00:05:18Is it one of the dealers?
00:05:20No.
00:05:20No way.
00:05:21Every table has a different dealer.
00:05:23He isn't cheating.
00:05:24What?
00:05:25He isn't cheating.
00:05:27He's counting cards.
00:05:28Impossible.
00:05:30He started with half a million in chips,
00:05:32and card counters target only one game.
00:05:35Yeah, exactly.
00:05:36He's not counting to win.
00:05:38He's counting to crash you.
00:05:40That would ruin the hotel's reputation.
00:05:42No high rollers would come here again.
00:05:44Give me 10k.
00:05:46What?
00:05:48I mean, you can afford it.
00:05:50Yeah, but I don't see...
00:05:52Okay, lend me the chips,
00:05:53and I'll get your money back.
00:05:56Go to the chips.
00:05:58But, sir...
00:05:59Now?
00:06:04I am going to ruin his day.
00:06:06I've been watching this table.
00:06:09Let me go in now,
00:06:10and I will be right back.
00:06:14Split, please.
00:06:34Are you kidding?
00:06:36She has a six.
00:06:37You don't fucking split with that, idiot.
00:06:40Stan.
00:06:40Just give her 21!
00:06:52Fuck!
00:06:56I bet that he has a benefactor
00:06:57who fronted him all the money.
00:06:59Okay, find out whatever you can
00:07:01about him, please.
00:07:03Want a full report by Monday?
00:07:04Yes, sir.
00:07:05Look, you're obviously being targeted.
00:07:12Do you know anybody
00:07:12who would want to hurt your business, or...?
00:07:15I have a few ideas.
00:07:21Hello?
00:07:23What are we doing here?
00:07:26Eating.
00:07:29Thanks.
00:07:30Yeah?
00:07:31But, you know what I mean, okay?
00:07:35You could have taken me anywhere.
00:07:37Why would you bring me to a place like this?
00:07:39To thank you.
00:07:40So, be grateful and order something.
00:07:45Look, what you did back there
00:07:47was very, very impressive.
00:07:50Where did you acquire
00:07:51such a unique set of skills?
00:07:53Oh.
00:07:53I mean,
00:07:55it was me and my mom,
00:07:57and we managed
00:07:58until she got sick.
00:08:02Um,
00:08:02after that,
00:08:03I had to find a way
00:08:04to survive on my own.
00:08:07And then when she
00:08:07went to the hospital full-time,
00:08:09can't really do that
00:08:10from foster care, so...
00:08:12How is your mom now?
00:08:15She passed.
00:08:16Last year.
00:08:17I'm sorry.
00:08:17And you've been
00:08:20homeless
00:08:22ever since then?
00:08:24Off and on.
00:08:26I mean,
00:08:26I got my GED,
00:08:27but it's kind of
00:08:28hard to get a job
00:08:29when you don't have
00:08:30an address
00:08:30or a phone.
00:08:32Oh my goodness,
00:08:33Nathan!
00:08:34Shit.
00:08:35Hey,
00:08:36just follow my lead,
00:08:37okay?
00:08:39Nathan!
00:08:40I always try to drag you away
00:08:42from work at this time of day,
00:08:43but you always turn me down.
00:08:45Hello, Jane.

00:08:50so Lil and I here

00:09:01at the same restaurant
00:09:02as your fiancée!
00:09:05Lil, was it?

00:09:25a workaholic

00:09:27Why is that?
00:09:28You're gonna find
00:09:29any excuse you can
00:09:31to never go home again.
00:09:34It's a family thing.
00:09:35It will never happen.
00:09:37What?

00:09:40Well, I bet she's

00:09:58your unique talents.
00:10:01Okay, well,
00:10:03I'm not a fan
00:10:05of being someone's project.

00:10:50Oh, son of a bitch,
00:10:50you scared me.
00:10:52Tell me you didn't
00:10:53fuck it up.
00:10:56Did you bankrupt
00:10:56the casino?
00:10:57I nearly did.
00:11:00Nearly?
00:11:00But on the last hand,
00:11:01they must have switched
00:11:02out the decks
00:11:03or something
00:11:03because I lost.
00:11:06How much?
00:11:09All of it.
00:11:11Are you telling me
00:11:12that you lost
00:11:12all of the money
00:11:13that I gave you?
00:11:14It wasn't my fault.
00:11:15There was this girl.
00:11:18What girl?
00:11:24Mr. Sterling,
00:11:25here are the documents
00:11:25you asked for.
00:11:27And your call
00:11:27to the commissioner
00:11:28has been confirmed
00:11:29for three o'clock.
00:11:30Great.
00:11:32Would you mind
00:11:32taking a little to HR
00:11:33and get her sorted?
00:11:35On it.
00:11:35Take a seat here
00:11:44and Mr. Sterling
00:11:45will call
00:11:45when he needs you.
00:11:48Glad to have you
00:11:48on board.
00:11:56Fresh face.
00:11:57You new?
00:11:58Yeah.
00:11:59How'd you guess?
00:12:00Well, I already know
00:12:01the names of all
00:12:01the pretty girls
00:12:02around here.
00:12:03I'm Joanne.
00:12:04Will?
00:12:06You look familiar,
00:12:07Will.
00:12:07Have I seen it?
00:12:09What are you doing here?
00:12:10Just stopped by
00:12:11to check out
00:12:11the new merchandise.
00:12:13My brother.
00:12:14Can't take a joke
00:12:14any more than
00:12:15he can take a day off.
00:12:17Brother?
00:12:18Half-brother.
00:12:19We can talk
00:12:19in my office
00:12:20so you don't continue
00:12:21harassing my employees.
00:12:22If you need anything,
00:12:24I'm your guy.
00:12:28Mr. Sterling,
00:12:29I think our business
00:12:30will be able
00:12:31to help your brand
00:12:32expand globally.
00:12:40I'll let you know.
00:12:42Thank you for coming in.
00:12:50Who the hell
00:12:51do you think you are?
00:12:53Excuse me?
00:12:53I asked
00:12:54who the fuck
00:12:55you think you are.
00:12:57You just cost me
00:12:58a five million dollar deal.
00:13:00I think you cost yourself
00:13:01a deal
00:13:01when you filed
00:13:02for bankruptcy
00:13:03and then stole
00:13:03your subordinates' ideas
00:13:05to pass them off
00:13:05as your own.
00:13:06I never did that.
00:13:07A simple internet search
00:13:09showed me otherwise.
00:13:11You know,
00:13:12I just think
00:13:13being partners
00:13:14would be a bad
00:13:14business strategy.
00:13:16I couldn't agree more.
00:13:18Mr. Sterling,
00:13:19we wouldn't want
00:13:20to add browbeating
00:13:21an assistant
00:13:21to your list
00:13:22of grievances,
00:13:23would we?
00:13:26Fuck you.
00:13:32Nice work.
00:13:35You have a gift
00:13:36of seeing
00:13:36through people's bullshit.
00:13:37Thank you,
00:13:39Mr. Sterling.
00:13:40Call me Nathan.
00:13:43You're accompanying me
00:13:44to a charity auction
00:13:45tonight.
00:13:49That won't be
00:13:50a problem,
00:13:50will it?
00:13:52Of course not,
00:13:53Nathan.
00:13:54Good.
00:13:56And it's formal,
00:13:57so

00:14:00for the occasion.
00:14:00make sure it's done
00:14:07before the auction begins.
00:14:08I will soon.
00:14:09If you fail this time,
00:14:10there will be
00:14:11severe consequences.
00:14:13Understood.
00:14:14I won't let you know.
00:14:15You look lovely tonight,
00:14:35little mouse.

00:16:36$10 million.
00:16:38$10 million.
00:16:39$10 million going once.
00:16:41Going twice.
00:16:43Sold!
00:16:44For $10 million.
00:16:45Here.
00:16:51Okay.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:59Brother,
00:17:00why'd you overpay
00:17:01for that last piece?
00:17:02I thought my assistant
00:17:03needed a little token
00:17:04of my appreciation.
00:17:05Besides,
00:17:06she wears it well.
00:17:07Don't you think?
00:17:08She wears everything well.
00:17:11You know,
00:17:11I was going to buy
00:17:12that set.
00:17:14Was.
00:17:15I advised him
00:17:16against it.
00:17:16Why?
00:17:17Because they're fake.
00:17:19How dare you?
00:17:22You're just jealous.
00:17:24I bet you told Nathan
00:17:25you wanted these.
00:17:27She didn't.
00:17:28She told me
00:17:29those were fake.
00:17:31No, no, no.
00:17:32I paid.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35But, Nathan,
00:17:36if you thought
00:17:37they were fake,
00:17:37why did you bid on them?
00:17:38My brother donated them
00:17:40and if word got out
00:17:41they were fake,
00:17:42it'd damage the family name.
00:17:43They're not fake.
00:17:45Well, there's
00:17:46one way to find out.
00:17:48Mr. Marzon,
00:17:49would you mind
00:17:50indulging me for a moment?
00:17:51Certainly, Mr. Sterling.
00:17:53Would you mind
00:17:53taking a look
00:17:54at Miss Lockhart's
00:17:55latest purchase?
00:17:56Of course.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:00My.
00:18:01Word.
00:18:01This
00:18:02is a forgery.
00:18:04How can this be?
00:18:06Doesn't this auction house
00:18:07authenticate
00:18:08every product they sell?
00:18:09Of course it does.
00:18:10Someone must have
00:18:11switched my real donation
00:18:12out with this fake one.
00:18:14It's
00:18:14possible.
00:18:16I will have my staff
00:18:18review the CCTV
00:18:18and complete
00:18:19a full investigation.
00:18:21In the meantime,
00:18:22Julian,
00:18:23I think you should
00:18:24return Miss Lockhart's
00:18:2550 million dollars.
00:18:27Uh,
00:18:28until the real gems
00:18:29have been found,
00:18:30of course.
00:18:31It's only right.
00:18:32I don't, uh,
00:18:33I don't think that's,
00:18:34You can cover it,
00:18:35can't you?
00:18:35I mean,
00:18:37I'd hate to think
00:18:37your finances
00:18:38are as fake
00:18:39as those gems.
00:18:41Of course.
00:18:44Excuse me.
00:18:47Uh,
00:18:48Miss,
00:18:49may I take
00:18:50a closer look
00:18:50at your piece?
00:18:52Certainly.
00:18:56My
00:18:56word.
00:18:57Well,
00:19:00looks like
00:19:01the assistant
00:19:01got scammed too.
00:19:03No,
00:19:04quite the opposite.
00:19:06In fact,
00:19:06this is a rare
00:19:07vintage piece
00:19:07that once belonged
00:19:08to the royal family
00:19:09of Nepal,
00:19:10rumored to have
00:19:11saved the life
00:19:12of a Nepali king.
00:19:13Wait,
00:19:14really?
00:19:14It can't be.
00:19:16I'm sure of it.
00:19:17Frankly,
00:19:18I'm quite surprised
00:19:19no one else
00:19:20even bid.
00:19:21That brooch
00:19:21is worth
00:19:22at least
00:19:2225 million.
00:19:24And Nathan
00:19:26got it for a steal.
00:19:27I guess
00:19:28I had
00:19:28beginner's luck,
00:19:29huh?
00:19:30If you ever
00:19:31decide to sell,
00:19:32please contact
00:19:32me first.
00:19:35Will do.
00:19:36Come.
00:19:37Let's, uh,
00:19:38let's get out of here.
00:19:39Nathan,
00:19:40you have to
00:19:40help me fix this.
00:19:42Julian.
00:19:43Julian!
00:19:45Is that her?
00:19:46That's her, right?
00:19:48That's Lil?
00:19:49Maybe.
00:19:49I'm sure
00:19:52it's her.
00:19:54What's up?
00:19:55I'm gonna go
00:19:56get that bitch.
00:19:57Bro.
00:20:02How did you
00:20:03know that?
00:20:04Know what?
00:20:05About the rubies
00:20:06being fake.
00:20:07Um,
00:20:08well,
00:20:09before my mom
00:20:09got sick,
00:20:10she used to work
00:20:11at this luxury
00:20:11jewelry store,
00:20:12and she taught me
00:20:13everything she knew
00:20:14about gemstones.
00:20:15So how the real ones
00:20:16would reflect light
00:20:17in a certain way.
00:20:18So a real ruby
00:20:19glows dark red.
00:20:20Fake one throws
00:20:20a rainbow light.
00:20:22Hmm.
00:20:23You must miss
00:20:24your mom.
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26I wish I could've
00:20:27told her I met
00:20:27Maison tonight.
00:20:29He was her favorite
00:20:29designer.
00:20:31Second favorite.
00:20:33Who was her first?
00:20:34She always used
00:20:35to say me.
00:20:36I used to do
00:20:37sketches of jewelry
00:20:37for her.
00:20:38Really?
00:20:40You should show
00:20:41me sometime.
00:20:43I mean it.
00:20:47I'll...
00:20:48see you in the morning.
00:20:50Oh, wait.
00:20:51Um,
00:20:52could you help me
00:20:53with this?
00:20:56Yeah.
00:20:57Ethan,
00:21:09I can't accept this.
00:21:12Yeah.
00:21:13Sure you can.
00:21:14Little mouse.
00:21:19Um,
00:21:20I'm sorry.
00:21:20I'm,
00:21:20I'm tired.
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:22I'm gonna head to bed.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:26Good night.
00:21:37My brother somehow
00:21:39knew those rubies
00:21:40were fake.
00:21:40But how?
00:21:41I didn't switch them
00:21:41until after they
00:21:42were authenticated.
00:21:43We need to come up
00:21:46with 50 million dollars
00:21:47by the end of this week.
00:21:48It's time we cleaned
00:21:49up our mess
00:21:49at the casino.
00:21:52And this time,
00:21:54no slip-ups.
00:22:00Mr. Sterling,
00:22:02Mason sent over
00:22:02the security footage.
00:22:05Who is this guy?
00:22:16Wait a minute.
00:22:18This is the same guy
00:22:19that was counting cards
00:22:20in the casino a week ago.
00:22:25What a coincidence.
00:22:28Or not.
00:22:29Funny.
00:22:30Yeah.
00:22:31Shouldn't you be
00:22:31pestering your brother
00:22:32or?
00:22:34No, I actually
00:22:35came here to see you.
00:22:36Me?
00:22:37Wanted to see
00:22:38if you had plans
00:22:38for today.
00:22:40I'm gonna take you
00:22:40somewhere.
00:22:41Where?
00:22:43I can't tell you
00:22:43that.
00:22:44We're in a surprise.
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:47Unlike my brother,
00:22:48I know how to have fun.
00:22:51Okay.
00:22:52Fine.
00:22:53Let's go.
00:23:02Julian.
00:23:08Why here?
00:23:09What's this about?
00:23:11Been here before?
00:23:12Nathan's Casino?
00:23:14Yeah, he brought me here once.
00:23:16Doesn't sound like
00:23:16he showed you a good time.
00:23:19Let's correct that.
00:23:20Shit.
00:23:40Poker,
00:23:41you just want to watch me win?
00:23:43No.
00:23:44I don't gamble.
00:23:45Oh, don't be a party pooper.
00:23:47I'll gladly watch you play.
00:23:48Okay.
00:23:50It's at this blackjack table.
00:23:52Is that the one
00:23:53where you have to get
00:23:53as close as you can
00:23:54to 21?
00:23:55Yes,
00:23:56without going over.
00:23:57Okay.
00:23:57Let's play.
00:24:02Sir,
00:24:03they found your brother.
00:24:05He's at the blackjack table.
00:24:06Okay,
00:24:07tell them to keep
00:24:07eyes on my brother,
00:24:08but if he touches her,
00:24:09shut it down.
00:24:10Yes, sir.
00:24:12You need to come with me
00:24:13every time I play.
00:24:15Hello,
00:24:15a good luck charm.
00:24:16She won't.
00:24:21Everything's always changing,
00:24:22Nathan.
00:24:22Maybe she'll realize
00:24:23that she deserves better.
00:24:26How about we play
00:24:27for her?
00:24:32What?
00:24:34We make things interesting.
00:24:36We play.
00:24:38Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:24:39What do you say?
00:24:43Not brave enough
00:24:44to take the risk.
00:24:48What is she worth
00:24:48to you, Nathan?
00:24:50Half a million?
00:24:52All right,
00:24:52don't even think about it.
00:24:53Are you kidding?
00:24:54Half a million?
00:24:55Please.
00:24:56Nathan knows I'm worth
00:24:57at least ten times
00:24:58more than that.
00:24:59Lil,
00:24:59what are you doing?
00:25:02Uh,
00:25:03five million?
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06You want Mr. Sterling
00:25:07to take your bets seriously.
00:25:12Yeah,
00:25:12and after last night,
00:25:13he probably doesn't even
00:25:14have five million.
00:25:16Unless,
00:25:17he wants to put up
00:25:18his shares in Sterling Corp
00:25:19as collateral.
00:25:20Fine.
00:25:25My share's against
00:25:25five million dollars.
00:25:27Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:25:30Agreed?
00:25:38What are you doing?
00:25:40If I lose,
00:25:40you have to go with him.
00:25:42This isn't the game.
00:25:44What?
00:25:45This is the distraction.
00:25:47This isn't the real game.
00:25:49He's moving something
00:25:50while you're stuck here.
00:25:55We'll find out
00:25:56soon enough.
00:26:09Hey,
00:26:09what are you doing?
00:26:11Looks like your little pet
00:26:12doesn't want you to win.
00:26:13Just fall, bro.
00:26:15Call it Marcy.
00:26:16I'll be right back.
00:26:17Don't miss me too much.
00:26:18Agreed.
00:26:19Aw.
00:26:20It's like you've already
00:26:21lost her.
00:26:32Lil must be worth
00:26:33five million in the sack.
00:26:34Otherwise,
00:26:34why would you be playing?
00:26:36Well,
00:26:36you can tell me.
00:26:37I'll find out tonight anyway.
00:26:39That'll never happen.
00:26:40You just want her
00:26:41because she's mine.
00:26:43Yours.
00:26:44She's not a prize,
00:26:46Julian.
00:26:46She's with me
00:26:47because she chose it.
00:26:48I doubt she'd see it that way.
00:26:50What do you mean?
00:26:51She's not stupid.
00:26:52She works for you.
00:26:53You're a little worker bee.
00:26:55The most she could ever hope for
00:26:56is to be your plaything.
