Short filmTranscript
00:00At the beginning of the story, we see an American football match where a man named
00:03Nicky is sitting comfortably with his girlfriend Jess in the VIP stands.
00:07The match is going on, but Nicky is more focused on the crowd than on the game.
00:12He notices a beautiful girl getting up from her seat and leaving.
00:15At that moment, a mischievous idea comes to his mind.
00:18He makes a small bet with Jess, saying,
00:20Let's see how many people look back at that girl.
00:22One of the men sitting nearby, Li Yuan, says he also wants to join the bet, and Nicky agrees.
00:28Everyone jokingly places a $10 bet and starts counting.
00:31When the girl leaves the stand, the final count shows that seven people looked back at her.
00:36In this bet, Jess had guessed the closest number, so she won.
00:40Li Yuan gives her the money without hesitation, and then suggests starting the next round.
00:44This time, the bet is about who will commit the next foul.
00:47Jess drops out, saying she doesn't know much about the game,
00:51but Nicky jumps in and places a $1,000 bet.
00:54As soon as the whistle blows, the referee signals a foul, and it turns out to be the team Nicky
00:59had bet on.
01:00He wins, and puts the money in his pocket.
01:03Even after losing, Li Yuan gets more excited and says,
01:06Let's place a $5,000 bet this time.
01:09Now the question is whether the player will pass the ball or run with it.
01:13Nicky hesitates a little at betting $5,000, but finally agrees.
01:17Li Yuan guesses that the player will run, and Nicky says he will pass.
01:21As soon as the whistle blows, the player actually runs with the ball, which means Nicky loses $5,000.
01:27Now Nicky decides,
01:29It's okay, we lost $5,000.
01:31Let's stop here, and asks Jess to come have coffee.
01:34He wants to leave, but Li Yuan insists.
01:36He says,
01:37You're sitting in the VIP lounge, you have money.
01:40Why be upset over $5,000?
01:43Let's play another bet, this time for $10,000.
01:46Eventually, Nicky agrees.
01:47Now the question is whether the player will make the next pass correctly, or not.
01:52Nicky predicts yes, but the other team intercepts the pass.
01:55Nicky has now lost $15,000.
01:58While taking out the money, Nicky gets a little upset.
02:01He thinks for a moment and says,
02:02Let's place a $50,000 bet this time.
02:05Jess is shocked to hear this, but Nicky looks angry.
02:08At this point, luck is not on his side.
02:11He loses the next bet again, and has to give away another $50,000.
02:15Now Jess urges him to stop immediately, but Nicky's anger and ego take over.
02:20Without thinking, he places the next bet of $100,000.
02:25Li Yuan laughs and teases him, saying,
02:27Do you even have that much money?
02:28Nicky silently throws a whole bundle of cash on the table.
02:32Seeing this, Li Yuan also gets excited.
02:34This time, Nicky bets that the next pass will be intercepted, and won't be completed.
02:39But the pass is successful.
02:40Now Nicky has suffered a loss of $100,000.
02:43He can't figure out how to get out of this mess.
02:46Jess is also shocked by his behavior.
02:48But now the game has reached a very serious stage.
02:51Nicky says,
02:52I have $1,000,000 left.
02:54Let's bet it all.
02:55Let's see who wins this time.
02:56The final decision will be made by playing cards.
02:59Since Li Yuan has been winning continuously, he's now going crazy with excitement.
03:03He starts looking at Nicky like an ATM machine.
03:06Li Yuan draws his card.
03:08It's a five of clubs.
03:10Now Nicky just has to draw a card higher than five.
03:12His chances of winning are very high.
03:15Nicky picks up a card and flips it over with great confidence, but it's the three of hearts.
03:20Seeing this, Jess immediately fell off her chair.
03:23When Nicky started the game, he only intended to bet $10, but now, he had lost more than $1,000
03:29,000.
03:30After such a shameful defeat, he had nothing left to say.
03:34So, he quietly held Jess's hand and started walking out.
03:38He was deeply upset, but Li Yuan began teasing him even more.
03:41He said, this is what happens when you mess with the master.
03:45Nicky stopped and placed another bet.
03:47This time for $2,000,000.
03:49Now the idea was a little different.
03:51Nicky challenged that Li Yuan could choose any random player using a telescope.
03:55And if Nicky guessed the player's jersey number correctly, the win would be his.
04:00Li Yuan got a little confused.
04:01He said, this is like mind reading.
04:04It felt like Nicky was setting himself up for failure.
04:07Li Yuan also started suspecting that Nicky might be cheating.
04:09To remove his doubt, Nicky said,
04:12Okay, I won't guess.
04:14This time Jess will do it.
04:15Jess looked angrily at Nicky.
04:17She couldn't understand what was happening.
04:19She said, among so many people, what are the chances I'll guess the correct jersey number?
04:24Saying this, she tried to leave.
04:26But Li Yuan's security guard stopped her, and a small fight broke out between them.
04:30Jess calmed herself down a little.
04:32Nicky told her to just look around the ground and say whichever number felt like her own.
04:36Li Yuan picked up the binoculars and chose a player.
04:39Then Jess took the binoculars and scanned the entire field.
04:42She could see jersey numbers everywhere.
04:45How could she guess?
04:46Then her eyes fell on a familiar face.
04:48And she remembered Nicky's words.
04:50That she should choose the number that felt like her own.
04:53Their friend Farhad was wearing jersey number 55.
04:56Jess understood that this was all part of Nicky's plan.
04:59She said, number 55.
05:01And it was the correct answer.
05:03Li Yuan was stunned.
05:05Jess also started wondering how Nicky had known Li Yuan would choose that number.
05:08But at that moment, it didn't matter.
05:11They had already won the bet.
05:12Both of them made a $1 million profit and got back all the lost money.
05:16They left the stadium with two big bags full of cash.
05:20In the car, Nicky told Jess that everything had been part of their plan.
05:24They had been tracking Li Yuan for a long time.
05:26Li Yuan was well known in high society for his bad gambling habits.
05:30He would jump at any bet placed in front of him.
05:33Nicky's team had planned the entire setup.
05:35As soon as Li Yuan stepped out of his hotel room, the number 55 was planted in his subconscious mind.
05:41The number 55 was written on the label pin of the security guard.
05:44The same number appeared on signboards along the road to the stadium.
05:47They didn't just show him the number.
05:49They made him hear it too.
05:51While coming to watch the match, a song had been played in Li Yuan's car that repeated the number 55
05:56again and again.
05:57That number was said 124 times in the song, which kept pulling Li Yuan's attention toward it.
06:03He had even been shown a photo of Farhad, which helped build a visual memory.
06:07So, when Li Yuan looked through the binoculars, his mind naturally went toward the number 55, and Jess said 55
06:15as soon as she saw Farhad.
06:16Jess had not been told anything in advance, so her expressions would stay natural during the entire game.
06:22This way, no one would suspect her.
06:24After hearing everything, Jess was completely impressed with Nicky.
06:28After this, the story takes us a few days back.
06:31Just a few days earlier, Nicky was lying on a bed in a room with Jess beside him, and a
06:36man was pointing a gun at his head.
06:38Jess was sitting next to him, someone he had met only recently.
06:42It was clear that someone had trapped Nicky, but there was no sign of fear on his face.
06:46He calmly said,
06:48I don't have a single penny.
06:49If you want to shoot, then shoot.
06:51The man with the gun looked at Nicky's reaction and quickly realized,
06:55this man was clever, even more cunning than them.
06:58And his guess was absolutely right.
06:59Nicky was a master con artist who pulled off petty thefts with great skill.
07:04Jess had brought Nicky to that room by tricking him, but Nicky saw a natural talent in her.
07:09At that time, Jess didn't understand anything.
07:12When the man with the gun left, Nicky told Jess,
07:15You have a gift.
07:16If you polish this ability to trick people, you can live a very comfortable life.
07:20Nicky said,
07:30Without wasting time, Jess took out some money and said,
07:33I want to learn from you.
07:34Nicky agreed.
07:35While walking out, he stole one of Jess's rings, and she didn't even realize it.
07:39By the time she figured it out, her watch had also disappeared.
07:42When she had put the watch in her handbag, Nicky had already taken her wallet.
07:46After all these tricks, Nicky said,
07:49Sleight of hand, timing, and a little style.
07:51That's all you need for this work.
07:53Then Nicky said goodbye to her, and left.
07:56After a few months, Jess found Nicky in New Orleans,
07:59where he had started building a new team.
08:01Their meeting was actually a test.
08:03He wanted to see if Jess was capable of joining his team or not.
08:06When Jess agreed, Nicky sent her to a fair with one of his team members.
08:10This was Jess's first practical assignment.
08:13She began asking people for directions, holding a map in her hand.
08:16While she distracted people, her partner secretly stole a tourist's camera lens.
08:21Then, another team member intentionally bumped into a man, and Jess took his wallet.
08:26Jess was now starting to feel more confident in her stealing style.
08:30Using chopsticks, she took another woman's wallet from her bag.
08:33Everything went so smoothly that no one even suspected them.
08:37Nicky was watching everything from the top of a building.
08:40He told the team to leave Jess alone.
08:42Now it was her turn to fly solo.
08:45Jess started stealing expensive items one after another,
08:48and with each theft, Nicky's respect for her kept growing.
08:51Now Nicky gave her another big assignment, this time, a high-tech scam.
08:56With the help of special lenses, they could see other players' cards and beat them easily.
09:00There was also a system for stealing credit cards.
09:03The stolen card was secretly sent to a teammate, where a device would copy its data,
09:08and then the card would be returned to the owner's pocket.
09:11By the time anyone realized, their entire account would be emptied.
09:15Another scam was a fake ATM machine.
09:17Whenever someone withdrew money, the ATM would secretly store their PIN.
09:22Farhad would later remove the machine and steal all the data.
09:25All the stolen credit cards were sorted into different categories.
09:29Expensive luxury items were bought using them.
09:31And finally, their data was sold on the black market.
09:34One day, Jess saw a beautiful necklace and wore it.
09:37But Nicky immediately told her to take it off.
09:40He strictly explained that all the items had to be sold.
09:43Nothing was to be kept personally.
09:44Jess was seeing this large-scale fraud for the first time.
09:48The feeling of standing in the middle of a mountain of stolen goods was surreal.
09:51The next day, Jess and Farhad were wandering through a wealthy area.
09:55Their task was to act.
09:57Farhad suddenly fainted, and Jess started shouting,
10:00Please! Someone help us! Please!
10:02It was a distraction, which the rest of the team used to steal from the rich people around them.
10:07After the job was done, the whole team escaped by hiding in an ambulance.
10:11The whole plan was so perfectly executed that no one could figure out anything.
10:16That night, they all celebrated together.
10:18Nicky praised everyone because they had made $1.2 million in just one week.
10:23The next day, all the team members were preparing to go their separate ways.
10:27The documents were destroyed, and Nicky assured everyone that their money would be transferred to their bank accounts within a
10:33few days.
10:33But the old members of the team knew that Nicky still had one last mission left.
10:38The next morning, Nicky took Jess to the VIP lounge of the stadium.
10:42He performed a full demonstration in front of Jess to show how they could earn a million dollars in just
10:46a few minutes.
10:47By now, Jess had started falling in love with Nicky.
10:50She thought she was Nicky's girlfriend, and that's why he was showing her all this.
10:54But Nicky had only included her in the group for his own benefit.
10:58When everything was over, Nicky gave her $80,000 in cash, and finally said goodbye.
11:03Jess looked at him with tears in her eyes.
11:05Her heart was broken because she had fallen in love with Nicky.
11:08At the same time, she also felt that $80,000 was too little, because Nicky had just earned $1 million.
11:15But in Nicky's world, there was no place for emotions.
11:18Jess had now seen his true colors.
11:21Nearly three years later, a race car pulls into a service station, and we see Nicky again.
11:26There was tiredness in his eyes, and it was written all over his face that he was running out of
11:30money.
11:30During lunch, he met with George, the owner of a race car team.
11:34George's research team had developed a new algorithm called EXR, but he wanted to improve it to increase his chances
11:40of winning.
11:41So, he hired Nicky.
11:42The plan was simple.
11:44Nicky would pretend to be their chief engineer.
11:46Then, they would stage a fake fight between George and Nicky, so that other teams would fall into their trap.
11:52After that, Nicky would sell a fake version of EXR to the rival team, while George's team would use the
11:58real system and easily win.
11:59As part of the deal, Nicky was supposed to receive 1 million euros for the job, and the money he
12:05earned by selling the fake system would also be his.
12:08Nicky thought this job was a joke.
12:10He could have done such a scam even in his sleep, but George's butler didn't trust him at all.
12:15He directly threatened Nicky and said,
12:17If you do anything wrong, I'll shoot you right in the chest.
12:20Nicky wore a tuxedo and left to attend a party that evening.
12:23The plan between Nicky and George was to stage a fake fight in front of the crowd, but their plan
12:28completely fell apart when Jess appeared, walking down the stairs in a red dress.
12:33She went straight to hug George.
12:35Seeing this, Nicky's eyes filled with anger.
12:37His mind went blank.
12:39He hadn't seen Jess in 3 years, and now she was with someone else, and that too, with the man
12:44who had hired Nicky.
12:46Jess calmly walked up to Nicky and told him that she was no longer a con artist, and whatever had
12:50happened 3 years ago didn't matter anymore.
12:52She also said that George didn't know anything about their past relationship, and it would be best to keep it
12:57that way.
12:58Hearing this, Nicky got furious.
13:01He picked up a glass of vodka and drank it in one go.
13:03Earlier, he had planned to act like he was angry, but now, he truly was.
13:08The fight with George in front of everyone was no longer a drama, it was real.
13:12Their fight caught the attention of the rival racing team, just as planned.
13:16Soon, security came and threw Nicky out of the party.
13:19But now, he had the business card of the rival team in his hand.
13:23The next morning, Nicky met the owner of the McLaren team.
13:26He spoke directly, saying,
13:27I want to sell you the EXR system.
13:29It will cost 3 million euros.
13:31The team owner had no shortage of money, so there was no need to bargain.
13:35He immediately tested the system on the track, and when he saw the results, his face lit up.
13:40Nicky promised that the complete software would be delivered in 48 hours.
13:44Meanwhile, Jess met Farhad on the road.
13:46Farhad had been sent by Nicky.
13:48He told Jess that it was necessary for Nicky to leave 3 years ago.
13:51He had no other choice.
13:53Farhad also said that Nicky still loved her.
13:55Then he handed Jess a box, which had the same necklace that Jess had once liked.
13:59Whether it was real or fake didn't matter.
14:02Jess's heart melted after seeing it.
14:04She told Farhad that she couldn't trust Nicky, but her eyes said something else.
14:08She still had feelings for him.
14:10Well, on the day of the deal, Nicky showed up and handed over the software to the owner of
14:14the McLaren team.
14:15In return, a strong man gave him a case containing 3 million euros.
14:20But Nicky's nature was such that he never worked without taking risks.
14:23He had secretly sold a copy of the same software to every racing team.
14:27Every handshake brought him more euros.
14:29Whoever shook hands with him paid him millions.
14:32Until the race began, no one had any idea that every team had been sold the exact same EXR system.
14:38That night, instead of running away, Nicky messaged Jess, saying that if she came in time, they could escape together.
14:44Nicky waited, but no one came.
14:46Just when he gave up and turned to leave, Jess appeared.
14:49But it was too late to run, because at that moment, the same strong man who had given him 3
14:54million euros on behalf of the McLaren team showed up in front of Nicky.
14:58In reality, he was George's man.
15:00He had found out the truth, that Nicky had sold the original software instead of the fake one.
15:06He didn't care about the 1 million euros.
15:08Now he wore his full racing gear and intentionally crashed into Nicky's car.
15:12After a terrible accident, both Nicky and Jess were captured.
15:16They were tied up, and all the stolen cash was laid out in front of George.
15:20George was furious.
15:22He had spent 40 million euros creating that software, and now everything was ruined.
15:27The worst part was, he still couldn't figure out how Nicky had stolen the real software.
15:32When Nicky didn't say anything, George pressed Jess's nose shut, cutting off her air.
15:37Seeing this, Nicky broke down.
15:39He confessed everything.
15:41How he had made Jess fall for him again by rekindling her old love.
15:44He said he gave her the same necklace she had once liked, but this time it had a special chip
15:49inside.
15:49As soon as George opened the software, that chip stole his password and copied the data.
15:55Jess was heartbroken when she heard this.
15:58Tears streamed down her face, but George and his men started laughing.
16:01They liked the story but didn't believe a word of it.
16:04George then said,
16:05Jess was never really my girlfriend.
16:07I know she was only with me for my money.
16:09Jess admitted that she was only pretending to love George to steal his expensive watch collection.
16:14Nicky was shocked.
16:15So Jess had faked her love for George just to make Nicky jealous.
16:18Now, both of them were caught.
16:21George turned to the butler and asked how Nicky managed to steal the software.
16:24As soon as Nicky opened his mouth, the butler suddenly fired a bullet.
16:27It hit Nicky straight in the chest.
16:29George's face turned pale.
16:31He panicked and told the butler,
16:33I can earn money again, but if I get caught for murder, I'm finished.
16:37George quickly fired the butler and fled from the warehouse.
16:40Jess was crying uncontrollably, but the butler calmly said,
16:44There's no need to worry.
16:45I'm actually Nicky's man.
16:47In truth, the butler was Nicky's father.
16:49He had shot the bullet carefully just near the heart, not through it.
16:53He sealed the wound with tape, used a needle to draw out the extra blood,
16:57and balanced the air pressure in Nicky's chest.
16:59Suddenly, Nicky opened his eyes.
17:01He was alive.
17:03It was a crazy plan, but it worked.
17:05Behind them lay a huge pile of money.
17:07All three of them left the warehouse.
17:09Nicky was actually an orphan and had been raised by this man.
17:12He was the one who had taught Nicky all the tricks of the trade.
17:15Their rule was simple, never get emotional.
17:18But now, Nicky had truly fallen in love with Jess.
17:21The butler left both of them on the roadside and took all the money with him.
17:24Nicky was left with nothing, but on the way to the hospital,
17:27he saw something shining in Jess's hand.
17:30It was George's 200,000 euro watch.
17:32Nicky looked at her.
17:33Jess looked at him, and both of them smiled.
17:36With tricks like this, and sleight of hand, they'd never go hungry,
17:40no matter where they were in the world.
