00:00:03Why do you gamble?
00:00:06Gambling seems fair, deceptively so.
00:00:11Ready for Disneyland!
00:00:13Yeah!
00:00:13Look at this!
00:00:15Go!
00:00:16Back in the car!
00:00:18No!
00:00:19The moment you take a seat, you've already lost.
00:00:23Listen, you'll never gamble like me.
00:00:26Promise me.
00:00:26No one can win forever.
00:00:28Wake up, worm!
00:00:35Not sure why Claudia brought your lazy ass back.
00:00:38Sort all these chips.
00:00:40Use cards.
00:00:41Stop wasting fresh decks.
00:00:48We're back tonight.
00:00:50We're trying to start game here.
00:00:52Move!
00:00:53Quickly!
00:01:15This fucker messing me around with a brand new deck.
00:01:20Get in here.
00:01:23Hey, so we have a winner here.
00:01:25Yes!
00:01:26Yes!
00:01:27Woo!
00:01:29Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
00:01:32Let's go again!
00:01:33Hey, big guy, let's go!
00:01:35Let's go!
00:01:36I'm feeling lucky.
00:01:36Forgive me, Dad.
00:01:37I broke my promise.
00:01:40I'll find out who killed you,
00:01:41and I won't let him get away with it.
00:01:43I won't let him get away with it.
00:01:47Let's go.
00:01:48Let's go.
00:01:54Let's go.
00:01:55Yeah, baby!
00:01:56Woo!
00:01:57Come here.
00:01:57Look.
00:01:58Oh my God, we did it.
00:01:59We did it again.
00:02:00That's more jewelry for you and another holiday.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:03Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:02:09First layer of gambling, speed.
00:02:12Like martial arts wisdom, speed alone defies defeat.
00:02:16Yes! Oh yeah, I love to win!
00:02:25Claudia, your champagne's here.
00:02:37Surprise! Guess who it is, it's Flash, baby!
00:02:41I'm currently crushing it right now in your casino, which, by the way, I'm planning to take over.
00:02:47Unless, of course, you take me up on my offer to be my one and only baby doll.
00:02:52You decide, sweetheart.
00:02:56Call everybody in, I think we are in big trouble.
00:03:06Not sure if today is a blessing or a curse.
00:03:09Get lost! You are not near here.
00:03:12What bothers you so much, boss?
00:03:14Flash is here at our casino.
00:03:18Is this man Flash? The Flash?
00:03:21The world speedcubing champion, the man with lightning-fast hands.
00:03:25He's taken over four casinos in a row this month and now he's come to ours.
00:03:34It might be the end for us today, but you guys have worked for me for a really long time.
00:03:41This is the least I can do.
00:03:43Take it easy, boss.
00:03:45Although Flash is one of the best gamblers on the West Coast, we ain't nobody.
00:03:51I promise I'll take care of this bunk.
00:03:53This isn't a street fight, Jason.
00:03:56They call him Flash because his hands move faster than the ice and track.
00:03:59He's gonna clean us out.
00:04:01Please, take the money.
00:04:03If this is the end for us today, at least you guys will still have a living.
00:04:07I have to help Claudia.
00:04:16Oh, thank you.
00:04:17Congratulations, sir.
00:04:19There we go, ladies.
00:04:21You're welcome.
00:04:23Would you like to play something else?
00:04:28I'm so bored!
00:04:29Alright!
00:04:30Warm-up's over!
00:04:32Bring out your boss now!
00:04:36Let me show you where I go.
00:04:44Flash.
00:04:45I see subtlety isn't your strong suit.
00:04:49Claudia.
00:04:50Nice to finally meet you.
00:04:53Even more beautiful in person.
00:04:55Nice place you have here.
00:04:57It's cozy, profitable.
00:05:00I like it.
00:05:01I'm glad to hear.
00:05:03I understand you want to play a high-stakes game with me.
00:05:07How much money, exactly, have you bought?
00:05:19Oh, just to be crystal clear, I want to win every single cent in your casino and shut you down.
00:05:32If you win all of the money in this house, the casino is yours. If you lose, you get the
00:05:42hell out of here and you tell your hyena's boss to leave the paradise alone.
00:05:51Deal?
00:05:54Let's gamble.
00:05:57Let's gamble.
00:05:58Let's go!
00:05:59Oh no.
00:06:23If you want to do a lottery.
00:06:24We'll win.
00:06:25Wait for you.
00:06:25it. I reckon I could probably beat you with these. Stan. That's all you got? What happened
00:06:35with the famous Flash? More like a scary little boy playing with daddy's money. Worm probably
00:06:42plays better than you. Patience, big guy. What you got?
00:07:08You're the dealer, remember? You know the rules. If it's less than 16, you've got to take
00:07:13another hit. Go on.
00:07:33God damn it. Looks like it's my lucky day. Keep those cards coming, big guy.
00:08:07Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason's no match for this guy. I have to help Claudio.
00:08:18I had enough. I'm awake. I don't believe you can always beat me with luck. Okay.
00:09:05What the? This is bullshit. You are cheating.
00:09:16That's a very serious accusation right there. Can you prove it? Feel free to search me
00:09:24at your own discretion, but when you can't find anything, I expect you to leave your hand
00:09:31and then I'll forgive you.
00:09:41You see, just because, and if the house loses it all to me, who's going to be able to check
00:09:49out your chips? Unless you grant me authorization to start running the Paradise Casino tonight.
00:10:03Or you could say goodbye for one last night. Providing that you're a good girl and you're
00:10:09going to do what I say.
00:10:12You're we out the flying. Shut the fuck up, Jason. Haven't you ever gambled before?
00:10:18All for the winner, remember? That's what gambling's about, right? But of course, darling, I'll
00:10:26give you five minutes so you make the right choice. In the meantime, I'll enjoy a lovely drink.
00:10:33Waiter! A drop of your finest whiskey, please.
00:10:40Your drinks.
00:10:45You clumsy little...
00:10:49I'm so sorry.
00:10:52Who are you?
00:10:54Oh, nobody. A bartender here.
00:10:58Let me tell you who I am. I'm the guy who runs this establishment now. As part of my first
00:11:04order of business, I'm going to kick you out there onto the street after I teach you some
00:11:09manners.
00:11:09Let me handle this. He's not worth your time. I will take care of you, Cole.
00:11:14I don't think you are, though. You said every cent of the house is money, right? I have $100 of
00:11:20the house's money. So, technically, you're not finished yet, are you? Now, your opponent's
00:11:28me.
00:11:42Claudia, your bartender's insane. Doctor, any doctors in the house? Texas Hold'em. Heads up. One round.
00:11:52You're no match for me. You're a kid. Can you imagine? That's bullying. What would I say? I'd
00:11:59feel ashamed if people found out. But you have to keep your promise. $100 of the house's
00:12:04money. Right here.
00:12:06What are you going to do? Bet $100 to get $500,000 back?
00:12:15That's a good one.
00:12:16That bet's $100.
00:12:22And my life.
00:12:23No! This is not your war to fight.
00:12:26If you win, my life's yours. If I win, you leave Claudia in paradise alone.
00:12:31Are you out of your mind? Listen to me. This is not some back alley game. You saw what he
00:12:37did to
00:12:37Jason. Back off!
00:12:45Your life is of no interest to me, kid. It's literally worthless. But what you can do is
00:12:53talk to Claudia about my idea. And maybe then I'll reconsider a few things.
00:12:59I see. That fucker is helping him. Set in a trap for Claudia. Explain yourself,
00:13:07Borm. What do you want? Cut the crap. Are you in?
00:13:23Fine. I'm in. But just remember, I will take great pleasure in seeing Claudia pay top price to bail you
00:13:34out.
00:13:37Don't let him trick you, Claudia.
00:13:40Jason is right. Don't trust Worm.
00:13:44Trust me.
00:13:49Okay. I'm counting on you, Ethan.
00:13:53Bring me a deck! A new deck!
00:14:05Wait. I'd like to shuffle.
00:14:12You got balls, kid. I'll give you that.
00:14:15But I gotta be real with you.
00:14:17This is about to be the shortest game in history.
00:14:20You know, even now you kinda look like my newest employee.
00:14:25Hey, I'll even give you an opportunity to redeem yourself.
00:14:28If you put in a good word to Claudia on my behalf,
00:14:32I might even chuck in a good bonus for you.
00:14:40Whoa!
00:14:42When did you learn to do that?
00:14:45Last night on fucking YouTube?
00:14:48Are you fucking kidding me?
00:14:54Useless.
00:14:55I told you, you couldn't be trusted.
00:14:59He seems to be a real rookie.
00:15:03Wait.
00:15:05Let me cut the deck.
00:15:45All in.
00:15:48Not even looking at what you've got.
00:15:51Stakes are set. What difference does it make?
00:15:57All in.
00:15:59I call.
00:16:06Looks like your luck runs out today, kid.
00:16:11I haven't lost.
00:16:13What?
00:16:15Are you blind?
00:16:16I have an 82% chance of winning, bucko!
00:16:20Dishes never lose.
00:16:27It's time to see your flop.
00:16:33Let it be two.
00:16:34Please, God.
00:16:35We need two.
00:16:36Please, two.
00:16:36Two.
00:16:38Two.
00:16:38Two.
00:16:39Two.
00:16:40Two.
00:16:41Two.
00:16:41Two.
00:16:42Two.
00:16:43Two.
00:16:43Two.
00:16:44Two.
00:16:48Two.
00:17:01Two.
00:17:14Two.
00:17:14Two.
00:17:15Two.
00:17:16Two.
00:17:17Two.
00:17:17Two.
00:17:17Two.
00:17:17Two.
00:17:18Two.
00:17:18Two.
00:17:18Yes!
00:17:21If there's another two, I'll eat it.
00:17:25I'll eat it.
00:17:26I'll eat it.
00:17:52What?
00:17:54No!
00:17:55You're a cheater!
00:18:04No, what?
00:18:11You're cheating!
00:18:12That is a serious allegation, Flash.
00:18:16Do you have anything to back it up?
00:18:18I mean, you're free to search me if you like.
00:18:22But if you can't find anything, I'll forgive you if you eat a card.
00:18:26In fact, I can smell a drunk two up your sleeve.
00:18:37It smells whiskey.
00:18:43The same scotch you ordered earlier.
00:18:45I knew it!
00:18:47You're a cheating bastard!
00:18:48No, no, impossible!
00:18:49This is impossible!
00:18:50You cannot beat me!
00:18:51You weren't expecting me to have a fifth two in this deck, were you?
00:18:54You're not a bartender!
00:18:55Who are you?
00:18:56My name's Ethan Cross.
00:18:57And you're about to eat that card.
00:19:00Eat it!
00:19:02Eat it!
00:19:04Eat it!
00:19:05Eat it!
00:19:07Eat it!
00:19:08Eat it!
00:19:10Eat it!
00:19:11Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it!
00:19:41Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it.
00:19:57Leaving without saying goodbye.
00:20:02If it wasn't for you today, Flash would have taken it all and the paradise wouldn't exist anymore.
00:20:08Claudia, it's nothing.
00:20:09It's not nothing. It was astonishing.
00:20:12Where'd you learn to play like that? Who are you really, Ethan?
00:20:16I'm just a bartender who happened to get lucky this one time.
00:20:20Oh, come on. We both know that's not true.
00:20:24Why, you're gonna keep you a little secret? Even from me?
00:20:31Jesus.
00:20:32You're such a coward, worm. You'd be dead years ago without her. This is how you repay her?
00:20:39You know, with your skills, we can make something bigger, better. We can make real money.
00:20:49Anyway, you really saved us today and I want to thank you properly.
00:21:03Take this.
00:21:06I... I don't want this.
00:21:09What do you want, Ethan?
00:21:11What do you want, Ethan?
00:21:12Whatever it is, just say the word and I will make it happen.
00:21:19Promise me you'll never gamble for money. Promise me.
00:21:24Somebody help! Help!
00:21:25I promise. I promise. I promise.
00:21:29I promise whatever you say, please stay with me.
00:21:36I don't... gamble for money. I... I can't.
00:21:41But tonight...
00:21:42Tonight wasn't about money. I... I helped because you've always been nice to me. That's all.
00:21:47Okay, I respect that. But please, take this. Not as reward or a payment, but as a gift for helping
00:21:54a friend.
00:21:57And promise me you'll think about what I said.
00:22:01Hey, you will always be welcome at the paradise and I will always be your friend.
00:22:07Whatever you want. Whenever. Just ask.
00:22:34STOP!
00:22:54Goddammit!
00:22:54Flash! What the hell? Do you want revenge?
00:22:56No, no, no, no. I didn't come here to fight. I came here to talk.
00:22:59About what?
00:23:01I want to learn your skill.
00:23:02That skill's making cocktails.
00:23:04Oh, come on, man. I saw you in there.
00:23:07I'm so sorry.
00:23:08You tricked me.
00:23:10You played dumb and beat me.
00:23:13I won't be fooled again.
00:23:15I know you're a shark.
00:23:16You can think what the hell you want.
00:23:18Oh, come on, Ethan.
00:23:18My name is Peter Vale.
00:23:19I didn't mean to cause the ruckus at your casino.
00:23:21The hyenas, they hired me.
00:23:23Look, I didn't mean to take you out in the casino,
00:23:25but they said I had to take over with them.
00:23:27Otherwise, if I didn't comply, then they would...
00:23:30Look, they would...
00:23:30They would make me disappear.
00:23:34Why should I believe you?
00:23:36Because I'm telling the truth.
00:23:37Believe me, if I had another option, I would take that.
00:23:41But the hyenas, they...
00:23:43They won't let me fail.
00:23:45I can't go back.
00:23:46And I can help you.
00:23:48I don't gamble for money.
00:23:50Oh, yeah?
00:23:51What's that?
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:05Here.
00:24:07Take it.
00:24:09God bless you, sir.
00:24:11God bless you.
00:24:13Are you insane?
00:24:14That's a fortune.
00:24:15She needs it more than I do.
00:24:18Listen, look.
00:24:19I fell into a trap years ago.
00:24:21Okay?
00:24:21It was a silver Mustang.
00:24:23Limited edition.
00:24:24I was obsessed with it.
00:24:24I asked the owner.
00:24:26I wanted to get it up.
00:24:30That night, for whatever reason, I ended up losing a game.
00:24:33Everything, including the silver Mustang.
00:24:35Whoa!
00:24:35What's going on?
00:24:40What's going on?
00:24:42Silver Mustang?
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44Long kill by that!
00:24:47Do you remember its license plate?
00:24:48Well, yeah.
00:24:49It was like my child.
00:24:49But why would you even care about that d-
00:24:51Stop!
00:24:52Stop me!
00:24:53Stop!
00:24:54Stop!
00:24:55Stop!
00:24:55Get your bitch!
00:24:59My money!
00:25:03Look back here!
00:25:09I swear to God she went this way.
00:25:11Wait.
00:25:12Where'd she go?
00:25:12Shh!
00:25:14There.
00:25:15Let's grab her.
00:25:15Wait.
00:25:35Okay, come on.
00:25:40All you have to do is just choose one car.
00:25:43Okay, I choose this one.
00:25:46So this one?
00:25:47How do you do that?
00:25:49What?
00:25:50Here?
00:25:50It's here.
00:25:51What?
00:25:52Or it's here.
00:25:53I want, I want again, again, again.
00:25:56Okay.
00:25:57Okay.
00:26:06Rebecca.
00:26:21Who's there?
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:27How do you know my name?
00:26:32Do you know me?
00:26:33How do you know my name?
00:26:34I heard your grandfather call you before.
00:26:36What?
00:26:36I actually have a pretty good hearing.
00:26:38I actually have a pretty good hearing.
00:26:39What do you want, bat ears?
00:26:40Our money.
00:26:41For starters.
00:26:42Your money?
00:26:43That homeless lady scammed it.
00:26:45I'm just redistributing the wealth.
00:26:47Okay, Robin Hood.
00:26:48Give us our money.
00:26:49Hate to ruin that beautiful face.
00:26:51Whoa!
00:26:52Okay!
00:26:52Easy!
00:26:53Easy!
00:26:55What now, clumsy bear?
00:27:10Take it easy with that thing.
00:27:11We're not here to hurt anyone.
00:27:13You should teach your friends some manners.
00:27:16Dare try your luck with me again?
00:27:18No, no, we're good.
00:27:18Right, Ethan?
00:27:19We're good.
00:27:23I know you guys are gamblers.
00:27:25Wanna gamble with me?
00:27:27No, we're not gonna gamble with you.
00:27:28I'll give your money back.
00:27:29Deal!
00:27:32What's the game?
00:27:33One that tests real courage.
00:27:36Put your hand palm down on the table like me.
00:27:48Then what?
00:27:51First one to pull away loses.
00:27:57It's going to fall on your hands.
00:28:12It's going to fall on your hands.
00:28:17It's going to fall on your hands.
00:28:19Whoa!
00:28:26I won
00:28:27You're insane
00:28:28That's not a game, that's suicide
00:28:30No, that's life when you've grown up with nothing
00:28:34Your money, I'm not stealing it
00:28:36I'm reclaiming it from gamblers like you
00:28:39Who have destroyed families with your addiction
00:28:42You should thank me for helping you serve your curse cash for a good purpose
00:28:49Rebecca, who's out there?
00:28:52No one, Grandpa
00:28:53Go back to sleep
00:28:55What kind of trouble are you in now?
00:28:58Bring them in, bring them in now
00:29:06How many times must I tell you
00:29:09Do not take anything that isn't ours
00:29:13I apologize
00:29:14I apologize for my granddaughter's behavior
00:29:18She'll return the money
00:29:20But Grandpa, your medication
00:29:23It's not worth our integrity
00:29:29Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:36Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:41Somebody help, somebody
00:29:49Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:56Keep the money
00:29:57Your grandfather needs it more than I do
00:29:59Wait, seriously?
00:30:01That's very generous of you, but we cannot accept that
00:30:06Why would you do this?
00:30:08Because I know what it's like to need help and not get it
00:30:12Look
00:30:14Rebecca isn't always this defensive
00:30:17You know, since her parents
00:30:19Grandpa, don't
00:30:20They became involved with the hyena gambling debts
00:30:26You know, with the high interest
00:30:28And when they couldn't make the payments
00:30:30Well, you know
00:30:34She's been looking after me all this time
00:30:37And it's a burden for this young lady
00:30:39It's not fair
00:30:45Go to the Paradise Casino
00:30:46Find Claudia
00:30:48Tell her you're a friend of Ethan's
00:30:50She'll be able to help you
00:30:56Kids of this money
00:30:58I work for you
00:31:07We got no choice, guys
00:31:10Thanks
00:31:12What?
00:31:13What?
00:31:16What?
00:31:29There it is
00:31:33Look at this
00:31:34Ten years ago
00:31:35Were you driving this car
00:31:36Near the Paradise Casino?
00:31:37No
00:31:38Dude, I already told you
00:31:39I just had eyes on it
00:31:42It belongs to Mr. X
00:31:44Who's Mr. X?
00:31:46He runs half the underground gambling syndicates in the city
00:31:48No one knows his true identity
00:31:50And he knows every crime family around town
00:31:55I think I know
00:31:56Who might know where he is
00:31:59Ken will find him
00:32:00That's Mr. X's right-hand man
00:32:02He runs the El Dorado Casino for the hyenas
00:32:07Dad
00:32:07I promise I'll find who did this to you
00:32:10And make him pay his debt
00:32:35We're looking for Ken
00:32:36Mr. Warko isn't available for anyone
00:32:39Especially for losers
00:32:40Oh, that's fine
00:32:42We understand
00:32:42When will he be available?
00:32:44He's hosting high-stake games tonight
00:32:47At least one million dollars
00:32:50What do we do now?
00:32:52We wait
00:32:54Would you like to bet?
00:32:59Would you like to bet?
00:33:01Yeah, why not?
00:33:06This table bet minimum 100
00:33:09Perhaps we'll be more comfortable than many slots
00:33:17Don't look at me
00:33:17Maybe next time think twice
00:33:19Before you give away all your money
00:33:21Don't look at me either
00:33:23Nobody tell me to bring the money
00:33:26Everybody knows
00:33:27That you can't even handle
00:33:28A tiny paradise casino
00:33:30I suggest you disappear
00:33:31Before Mr. Warko find out
00:33:33You are here
00:33:34Actually, we wanted to play
00:33:36That high-stakes game you mentioned
00:33:38The funny thing is I have a part
00:33:40You need at least one million dollars
00:33:42To get a seat at the table
00:33:44Reserve me a seat
00:33:45I'll have the money
00:33:47With the $20 bills?
00:33:49It's the funniest things I ever heard
00:33:53I never gamble on luck
00:33:55What games can I play with $20?
00:34:07Grant
00:34:08Are you insane?
00:34:10How are you going to turn $20 into one million dollars in an hour?
00:34:13Don't worry about it
00:34:15Do you want to win all?
00:34:17No, not yet
00:34:23Second layer of gambling
00:34:24Insight
00:34:26Ears listening
00:34:27Eyes observing
00:34:29Mind remembers
00:34:31Feeling the dealer's rhythm
00:34:32The patterns on the cards
00:34:34The cracks in your opponent's armor
00:34:39Final bet
00:34:45Red
00:34:4514
00:34:46Flare wins
00:34:48Did we win?
00:34:49Oh yeah, we won
00:34:53Final bet
00:34:55Again, all in black
00:34:59Black, 31
00:35:00Flare wins
00:35:01Brilliant
00:35:02But it's too slow
00:35:03We'll never reach one million
00:35:05But it's too slow, we'll never reach one million
00:35:32Hmm
00:35:32You'll lose all your money
00:35:33Betting on numbers
00:35:36Is suicide
00:35:44Oh my god
00:35:45It's impossible
00:35:47How much money did we win?
00:35:48I can't do the calculation
00:35:49Around about 15,000
00:35:52Oh my god
00:35:57Switch in loaded dice
00:35:58Something else man
00:36:00You are something else
00:36:15How did he do this?
00:36:16I thought I was good
00:36:20Let's freshen up the game
00:36:21New dice
00:36:25They're on to you
00:36:26We need to switch tables
00:36:27Anyone bet?
00:36:33You have won loads
00:36:35Don't be risky
00:36:36Mind your own business man
00:36:39Final bet
00:36:41Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful your hand was
00:36:43Would you be able to lend me your luck for this round?
00:36:46A woman as beautiful as you surely wouldn't mind, right?
00:36:49Changed my mind
00:36:50I'm gonna go 15
00:36:52Let's see
00:36:59Oh
00:37:00Oh
00:37:01Oh
00:37:03Oh
00:37:03Oh
00:37:03Oh
00:37:05Oh
00:37:06Oh
00:37:06Oh
00:37:07Oh
00:37:07Oh
00:37:10Flash, Rebecca
00:37:11New table
00:37:11New game
00:37:12Let's go
00:37:26Do you want to play?
00:37:28No, I quit
00:37:29No, I quit
00:37:3720 points
00:37:3820 points
00:37:39Strong hand
00:37:39Stand or split
00:37:41Holy idiot who split his hands
00:37:44Split
00:37:46Wait
00:37:47Are you crazy?
00:37:49That's a winning hand
00:37:49Is he serious?
00:37:51Nobody splits face card
00:38:03What are the odds?
00:38:04If he has any sense, you stand on both hands right now
00:38:07Stand?
00:38:08We're definitely winning now
00:38:10Split
00:38:17Split
00:38:20Hey man
00:38:22Don't be stupid
00:38:23You're throwing away the money
00:38:24Have you lost your damn mind?
00:38:26That's eight hundred thousand dollars on the table now
00:38:44Good advice often falls on deaf ears
00:38:47This is all my fault
00:38:48I should have played for you
00:38:49Look at what you've done
00:38:5112
00:38:5113
00:38:5214
00:38:5313 points
00:38:54Would you like to hit off any of these hands?
00:39:01Stand on all four
00:39:03I've seen some bad plays in my mind
00:39:06But this
00:39:07This really takes the cake
00:39:10Someone should teach these kids how to bleed before he goes broke
00:39:13It's impossible to win with those hands
00:39:21Less than 16, you have to draw another card
00:39:32Let me show you what I
00:39:34Blast it baby!
00:39:36Yahoo!
00:39:37Yahoo!
00:39:38Come here!
00:39:39Yahoo!
00:39:41Thank you very much
00:39:53My my
00:39:55Isn't this quite the winning streak you're having?
00:40:03Strange
00:40:04A newcomer walks in with only twenty dollars and...
00:40:08Suddenly can't lose?
00:40:12Makes one wonder
00:40:14Beginner's luck?
00:40:28I'm Ken
00:40:30Floor manager of Eldorado
00:40:32I don't believe we've met
00:40:35Peter
00:40:37Maybe you can introduce us
00:40:40And how dare
00:40:41Show your face after that disgrace of paradise
00:40:46This is Ethan, my cousin
00:40:50From the Bay Area
00:40:51He owns his own tech startup
00:40:54Alright
00:40:56Cousin from the Bay Area
00:40:57I heard you're interested in my high stakes game
00:41:00Yes, I believe I have the required buy-in already
00:41:04Oh, I would love to offer you a seat
00:41:07With 1.6 million?
00:41:10This is awkward
00:41:12You see the buyers have just doubled in
00:41:15But unless you can get 2 million right away
00:41:18That's not fair
00:41:19You can't change the game
00:41:21My casino?
00:41:23My rules
00:41:30Don't worry
00:41:31If we can win 1.6 million
00:41:33400 grand is easy
00:41:34Let's go get it
00:41:34There's no time for that
00:41:36The high stakes game has already started
00:41:39And of course you are willing to
00:41:40You can play at those low league tables
00:41:44I think you'll find your table's the only one worth my stack
00:41:47Oh, I see
00:41:49It's not about the table, is it?
00:41:52It's about me
00:41:55Listen
00:41:56You insignificant nobody
00:42:00How dare you come to my casino
00:42:03And cause trouble
00:42:05I will make sure you lose everything
00:42:10Of course that is when you can qualify to be in my high stakes game
00:42:17Boneshark
00:42:20I need 400 grand right now
00:42:22That's a lot of money
00:42:23Your credit does not go to hit Peter
00:42:27I'll put up collateral
00:42:28What collateral?
00:42:30You have nothing left
00:42:31I have my body, all my organs
00:42:35Peter, are you insane? What are you talking about?
00:42:38Give him the 400 grand
00:42:45Looks like we'll be harvesting more than just money tonight
00:42:59Peter, why are you doing this?
00:43:01Ken and I could be working together or something to set you up for your organs
00:43:04Why do you trust me?
00:43:06Sometimes life is one big gamble
00:43:10You just have to trust
00:43:12I've been cheated my whole life
00:43:14I've lost everything
00:43:16I have no excuses if it happens again
00:43:19Something tells me
00:43:20It won't happen this time
00:43:23I trust you, Ethan
00:43:25I believe in you
00:43:33Welcome to the high stakes game
00:43:38Time to let
00:43:39Colin
00:43:39Wait
00:43:41Play it safe, alright?
00:43:43Thought you trusted me
00:43:44I do, but
00:43:50Just kidding
00:43:51Let's try
00:43:52100,000
00:43:55Anymore bets?
00:43:56Let's try
00:44:20Let's try
00:44:22Thank you
00:44:23Who wins
00:44:30Losing already, are we?
00:44:39Looks like the new piece
00:44:42One just come out
00:44:44Should we stay at the roll 8 table?
00:44:45At least you keep your money a little bit longer
00:44:50I thought you were the chosen one
00:44:51But you were just lucky earlier
00:44:53Aren't you?
00:44:55Love buys the chips, skill castes them
00:44:58Do you have another game?
00:45:03Or do you need a moment to cry?
00:45:07I'll leave one player
00:45:11Desperate and foolish
00:45:12He's trying to provoke you
00:45:15Don't take the bait
00:45:16You have all night to get it back
00:45:28Wait!
00:45:31I'd like to cut the deck
00:45:32No
00:45:33No
00:45:33No
00:45:36No
00:45:59It isn't going to help you.
00:46:01You are dead for sure this time.
00:46:10I haven't lost yet.
00:46:21That's exactly what I set up.
00:46:24Now you'll get two kings, zero point.
00:46:27Admit your tragic loss, sucker.
00:46:31It's a natural eight.
00:46:32We need a natural nine.
00:46:33What are the odds of that?
00:46:41You know, I think today
00:46:43might just be my lucky day.
00:46:47Whoa.
00:46:48Yes!
00:46:48Oh my God!
00:46:49Thank God you're cheating!
00:46:50What?
00:46:51No, I...
00:46:53You're cheating.
00:46:54How can you say that?
00:46:55You've been shuffling and handling the deck.
00:46:57He's barely touched the cards.
00:46:59What?
00:47:01What?
00:47:14Who sent you here to cause trouble with the Hynias?
00:47:18Your casino only welcomes losers, not winners?
00:47:21Who are you, really?
00:47:23An insignificant nobody.
00:47:25Tell me about Mr. X.
00:47:28Everyone out!
00:47:30Now!
00:47:36All right, all right.
00:47:38Let's get some exercise.
00:47:46I'd like to meet Mr. X.
00:47:48He has some information that I want to know.
00:47:51He wants to meet Mr. X.
00:47:54You're not someone that Mr. X meets, okay?
00:47:58You're delusional.
00:48:00Well, then I'm just going to keep winning
00:48:01until your casino runs out of money.
00:48:03Not too hard to imagine how Mr. X feels about that, right?
00:48:10Let's do this properly.
00:48:12One last game.
00:48:14Simplest rules possible.
00:48:16I love simple.
00:48:18Three dice game.
00:48:21Lowest total wins.
00:48:23Pure skill.
00:48:25No cheating.
00:48:26And if I win, you take me to Mr. X.
00:48:29When you lose, not only do you leave all the money,
00:48:33but also your right hand.
00:48:37Don't do this, Ethan.
00:48:39You can walk away from this right now, okay?
00:48:42I've got debts to pay.
00:48:44You have enough money.
00:48:45You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:48:49Damn.
00:49:04You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:04You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:04You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:05You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:09You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:10You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:11You can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:49:26Impressive for a rookie, but not good enough.
00:49:33One, the minimum.
00:49:38Impossible to beat.
00:49:41This is why I'm king of the casinos.
00:49:45What, do you really think you was going to beat me?
00:49:48Some nobody.
00:49:51I tell you what.
00:49:52I'll make it quick.
00:49:55One clean cut.
00:49:58If you beg me, I'll leave you a pinky as a souvenir.
00:50:04We're finished.
00:50:06His hand, my organs.
00:50:09What's wrong?
00:50:11Too scared to see a loss?
00:50:14I mean, by now, most people will wet their pants.
00:50:19Show your dice.
00:50:21Face your defeat.
00:50:33Third layer of Gambit.
00:50:35Shadow.
00:50:36Break every rule.
00:50:38Strike where they least expect.
00:50:40Zero.
00:50:42No points.
00:50:43It's impossible.
00:50:46How did you do it?
00:50:48Your turn, Ken.
00:50:49Deal's a deal.
00:50:52No, no.
00:50:53No, this can't be.
00:50:55Nobody gets out of here alive.
00:50:58Get them!
00:51:01Need some help?
00:51:18Ethan is under my protection.
00:51:18Nobody gets out of here alive.
00:51:20Get them!
00:51:25Need some help?
00:51:28Ethan is under my protection.
00:51:31Anyone who wants to harm him answers to me first.
00:51:39Time to call Mr. X.
00:51:41You don't understand what kind of monster he is.
00:51:47Okay, okay.
00:51:50Ken.
00:51:51Ken, what is it?
00:51:53Boss.
00:51:54Some kitty wants to talk to you.
00:52:02Mr. X.
00:52:03I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:52:04Who is this?
00:52:06Oh, me.
00:52:06I'm nobody.
00:52:08But you're going to know who I am.
00:52:11Ken, you lost to a nobody?
00:52:14You know I don't like losers.
00:52:16Please, look.
00:52:17Just give me one more chance.
00:52:18I can fix this.
00:52:20It's Claudia.
00:52:21She's the one protecting him.
00:52:23Claudia.
00:52:27Do you really want to stand up against me?
00:52:31I think real hard about what comes next.
00:52:36Boss.
00:52:37Wait, what about me?
00:52:38What about my hand?
00:52:40Useless tools have no use in my organization.
00:52:45Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:53:08The one thing Ken is afraid about is Mr. X is not someone to be trifled with.
00:53:13He controls half the underground city.
00:53:15His reach is everywhere.
00:53:17Why do you want to mess with him anyway?
00:53:19Oh, come on.
00:53:20You've met Mr. X.
00:53:22You know how dangerous he is.
00:53:23Help me out here.
00:53:24I'm sorry, but my mind's being made up.
00:53:26I'm with Ethan now.
00:53:28He's my mentor.
00:53:29Wherever he goes, I'll fight for you.
00:53:31Rebecca.
00:53:31Grandpa told me to repay Ethan's kindness.
00:53:34Whatever he wants, I'll do it.
00:53:39I'm sorry, Claudia.
00:53:41But I can't give up now.
00:53:59Welcome home, Ethan Cross.
00:54:10I had to see for myself what kind of a man could make Claudia stand up against me.
00:54:25I must admit, I'm quite impressed.
00:54:29Claudia.
00:54:31I see you've made your choice.
00:54:33This isn't about her.
00:54:35It's about you and me.
00:54:55Aces are my favorite.
00:54:59Hearts for love.
00:55:03Diamonds for wealth.
00:55:06Clubs for luck.
00:55:09Spades.
00:55:14For death.
00:55:16What the hell?
00:55:21Okay.
00:55:22Let's play a game.
00:55:24You and me.
00:55:25If I win, you tell me the answer for something that I want to know.
00:55:30If you win,
00:55:32my last choice.
00:55:35The answer to whatever question that may be
00:55:38must be very important to you.
00:55:40Do you know, Ethan,
00:55:41it's been years since anyone has dared challenge me.
00:55:45You don't stand a fucking chance.
00:55:48You know that, right?
00:55:50But if death is your wish,
00:55:52then I accept your challenge.
00:55:56But not in this dump.
00:55:57Come to my place.
00:56:00It's ten million to enter.
00:56:06I don't waste time on small games.
00:56:10Oh, by the way,
00:56:13Spades really suits you well.
00:56:34Bob,
00:56:35I finally found him.
00:56:47I'm sorry I brought all of this to your doorstep.
00:56:50The casino can be rebuilt.
00:56:52It's you I'm concerned about.
00:56:56You know him, don't you?
00:57:00It's...
00:57:00complicated.
00:57:07He killed my father.
00:57:10I've been haunting him for ten years.
00:57:13That's why you don't gamble for money?
00:57:16I promised him before he died, but...
00:57:18Hey, your father made you promise to stay away from gambling
00:57:20because he didn't want you caught up in these syndicate wars.
00:57:23This is exactly what he feared.
00:57:26I can't give up now.
00:57:28I hope he forgives me that I broke my promise,
00:57:30but...
00:57:31I'm so close.
00:57:33Okay.
00:57:35I'm with you.
00:57:37Don't worry about the money.
00:57:38I will take care of it.
00:57:41Pretty much cleaned up out there.
00:57:45I think this is why we part ways.
00:57:47What happens next?
00:57:48I can't guarantee anyone's safety.
00:57:51Are you kidding?
00:57:52After everything we've been through?
00:57:54Your debt's paid,
00:57:56and you still have your grandpa to take care of.
00:57:58That's not fair.
00:58:04That's not fair.
00:58:05I heard what you said to Claudia.
00:58:07How come she gets to come and I don't?
00:58:09I'm coming.
00:58:12It's gonna be really dangerous.
00:58:15You're stuck with us.
00:58:17Deal with it.
00:58:20Okay.
00:58:22But, Rebecca, I have a favor to ask first.
00:58:34Well, they're late.
00:58:36Young people nowadays.
00:58:38They're all full of shit.
00:58:40There may be a way to scare you to show up.
00:58:45I can't believe some rookie would dare to challenge you.
00:58:49The boy must be regretted about what he did right now.
00:58:54Now, you guys are probably right.
00:58:57Let's not waste any more time here.
00:59:00Let me show you where I go.
00:59:03Oh, my.
00:59:20Welcome, welcome.
00:59:22The challengers finally arrived.
00:59:25What happened this morning?
00:59:27Did your boyfriend forget to dress you?
00:59:29Oh, no, wait, I got it.
00:59:30He forgot how to use Google Maps.
00:59:50Security.
00:59:54Stand a procedure for fairness, of course.
00:59:58Me or not.
01:00:02It's a family heirloom, asshole.
01:00:05Hands up, sweetheart.
01:00:20It's more than enough.
01:00:21Your men have made their point.
01:00:23So touchy.
01:00:24I was merely ensuring fair play.
01:00:41I trust you brought the buy-in?
01:00:43Ten million.
01:00:45Counted twice.
01:00:47Oh, I forgot to mention.
01:00:49I've hired an internationally renowned referee
01:00:51to ensure everything is legitimate.
01:00:54His fee is $200,000.
01:00:57As a challenger, that's your responsibility.
01:01:00These are the rules.
01:01:02Ah, but you don't have a buy-in.
01:01:05Ah, man, what a shame.
01:01:07Shameless bastard.
01:01:11Sweetheart.
01:01:12What made you think I would play fair?
01:01:34I'm willing to take care of that referee fee for you.
01:01:40All you have to do is stand up and bow.
01:01:46Thank me properly.
01:01:47A simple gesture of respect.
01:01:51You should be honored to have the chance to play with Mr. X.
01:02:12These are custom-made designer pieces worth over $100,000.
01:02:19These are worth 20 bucks for the mom.
01:02:25My Daytona Rolex is worth $100,000.
01:02:28Just don't let them know it's from Chinatown.
01:02:33Touch it.
01:02:35Just like little dogs waiting for a treat.
01:02:39They're not dogs.
01:02:41They're my friends.
01:02:45Where's your buy-in anyway?
01:02:47I'm sorry.
01:02:54You bitch!
01:02:57How dare you question me in my house?
01:03:11I lost everything once.
01:03:14And now all I have is money and power.
01:03:28That's quite a fortune we have there, isn't it?
01:03:32It's too bad none of you will be living to see it.
01:03:36What do you mean?
01:03:38You'll lose.
01:03:40Your lives will be mine.
01:03:42No one who sees my true face lives to speak of it.
01:03:47Ask Claudia.
01:03:49Oh, she hasn't told any of you?
01:03:57Sorry, I never meant to drag any of you into this.
01:04:00It's okay.
01:04:01We know.
01:04:01We chose to be here.
01:04:03You're gonna win.
01:04:04I know it.
01:04:09If you lose?
01:04:11I'll tell you what you need to know.
01:04:14And you can take my life.
01:04:17It won't be worth shit anyways if I lose to somebody like you.
01:04:21These gentlemen here would find me extremely fucking worthless.
01:04:26I have no interest in taking your life.
01:04:28I want you to tell me about my father's murder.
01:04:31And then I want you to confess to the police.
01:04:37You're James' boy.
01:04:40I thought I recognized those eyes.
01:04:43How exciting is this?
01:04:45I get to have a game with my old friend's little boy.
01:05:01You were friends.
01:05:04Then why did you kill him?
01:05:09Let's not waste any more time here.
01:05:11I'll tell you everything you want to know.
01:05:15You think you can beat me.
01:05:16I'll tell you everything you want to know.
01:05:19Okay.
01:05:21Money checked.
01:05:23Let's go.
01:05:25Taxes hold them.
01:05:27No limits.
01:05:28The plans for 50,000 to 100,000.
01:05:32And the game ends when one player loses the chips.
01:05:36Or is co-chasing.
01:05:39Is it clear?
01:05:41Any questions?
01:05:44Please check.
01:06:02Small plans, big plans please.
01:06:08Please check.
01:06:25Raise 300,000
01:06:29Your father used to like the bluff, pre-flop
01:06:31Attila exploited many times
01:06:35We were partners once
01:06:36You know, before we decided to go straight
01:06:38You're lying
01:06:40Am I?
01:06:42Re-raise 1.3 million
01:06:51Ask yourself
01:06:53Why he made you promise never to gamble
01:06:58Call
01:07:13I was thinking 1.2 million
01:07:25Call
01:07:3310,000
01:07:41All in
01:07:46Even with that straight and flush
01:07:48You have less than 30% chance to hit
01:07:51The pot is against you
01:07:55Basic math
01:08:12Show him the river
01:08:18It's still the right fault
01:08:21It's still the right fault
01:08:22Oh my god
01:08:23He's bluffing
01:08:28What's going on?
01:08:29He bluffed with nothing
01:08:30When he's playing like a madman
01:08:36One hand
01:08:37Two and a half million dollars gone
01:08:39Just like that
01:08:41Quarter of your chips
01:08:42Quarter of your chips have vanished
01:08:44Because you were too afraid to play the better hand
01:08:47I can't believe you even came here to challenge me
01:08:50I will destroy you in under an hour
01:08:53And take everything you have
01:08:55I will destroy you in your arrogance
01:08:59And you see
01:09:00That's why he's the man
01:09:02He knows how to break
01:09:04A man's mind
01:09:06To Mr. X
01:09:07The master of gambling
01:09:11Don't listen to him
01:09:12He's deliberately messing with your head
01:09:17Oh no
01:09:20It's easy, easy
01:09:21Remember son
01:09:22Cards don't really matter as much as how you play them
01:09:25And how you play them
01:09:27Depends on controlling your emotions
01:09:32Stay calm
01:09:33No matter what
01:09:36That's how you win
01:09:43Game's only just begun
01:09:49You really learned a lot from your father
01:09:52Play the card
01:10:141.2 million
01:10:35All in
01:10:50He folded three kings
01:10:51That's practically unheard of in a game of heads up
01:10:55Nobody folds a hand that strong
01:10:57Your hand was written all over your face
01:11:00It's impossible I gave away my tells
01:11:03How did he always know my hands?
01:11:31Check
01:11:36300,000
01:11:39Call
01:12:05500
01:12:08Going big this time, huh?
01:12:10You must have a really good hand
01:12:27Check
01:12:292 million
01:12:41You really hit something big
01:12:43Straight
01:12:45Full house
01:12:47What makes you so confident?
01:12:49One like this
01:12:50I could have anything
01:12:51Even four aces
01:12:53You should probably save yourself some money
01:12:55By folding down
01:13:03Call
01:13:03Call
01:13:05I hate to fold on a turn
01:13:06But I always want to see the river
01:13:17Check
01:13:21All in
01:13:24All in
01:13:25All in
01:13:25All in
01:13:35Such a shame
01:13:36You play it all right
01:13:39You got balls at least
01:13:55Call
01:13:55Call
01:13:56I'll make this
01:13:57Quick and easy
01:13:58And payless
01:13:59For you and your friends
01:14:00Let's finish this
01:14:01Call
01:14:06He's cheating
01:14:07No way
01:14:08No way he could win like that
01:14:09Never accuse anybody of cheating
01:14:11Unless you can prove it
01:14:14Start with her
01:14:15Cut out that sharp tongue of hers
01:14:17Stop
01:14:20Playing the hero to the end
01:14:21I respect that
01:14:24How would you like to die?
01:14:26You're a choice, of course
01:14:28It's a privilege I rarely offer
01:14:31You don't want to see my hand
01:14:32Can't a flush beat a four of a kind?
01:14:39What kind of a flush beats four of a kind?
01:14:42Next time you come down here
01:14:43Learn the fucking rules
01:14:45Wait a minute, wait a minute
01:14:47We all know there's not going to be a next time
01:14:56What about a royal flush?
01:15:00Is that good enough to be four of a kind?
01:15:04Wait guys, oh my
01:15:05Yes!
01:15:06Oh my god, he's cheating!
01:15:07Yes!
01:15:10Yes!
01:15:11Yes!
01:15:12Wow!
01:15:14This can't be happening
01:15:15It's impossible
01:15:16He cheated
01:15:17Search him now
01:15:18That is not necessary
01:15:20I won fair and square
01:15:21If you got nothing to hide
01:15:22Then why resist?
01:15:23Hey, hey
01:15:24Kids
01:15:25Technology reveals everything
01:15:26I have secret cameras everywhere
01:15:28Recording his every move
01:15:41There, see?
01:15:42He switched the cars!
01:15:43Everybody saw it!
01:15:44Grab him!
01:15:46Now let's see where you hid the real cars
01:15:48Shall we?
01:16:02Nothing!
01:16:03No hiding cars!
01:16:05Get out!
01:16:08No hiding cars!
01:16:17Get out!
01:16:18No hiding cars!
01:16:19No hiding cars!
01:16:20My lucky John
01:16:20It's just a sticker
01:16:25Not against the rules, sir
01:16:26Is it?
01:16:28Gambling seems fair
01:16:30Deceptively so
01:16:30Yet
01:16:31The moment you take your seat
01:16:33You've already lost
01:16:35No one can win forever
01:16:38Unless
01:16:39You set the rules
01:16:43The third layer of gambling
01:16:46The third layer of gambling
01:16:47Shatter
01:16:47Break
01:16:48Break
01:16:48Every rule
01:16:49Strike
01:16:50Where they least expect
01:16:57This good?
01:16:59What are you doing?
01:17:01What are you doing?
01:17:01My father and I used to do this before
01:17:05We can't expect Mr. X to play fair
01:17:06Can we?
01:17:12Oh no!
01:17:13Don't touch it!
01:17:16Ah!

01:18:03He shouldn't have taken the money
01:18:09What happened to my father, X?
01:18:10Why'd you kill him?
01:18:11He shouldn't have taken the money
01:18:14He shouldn't have been with them
