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.
00:01:54I'm feeling lucky.
00:01:55Yeah, baby!
00:01:56Woo!
00:01:57Come here, look.
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, okay?
00:02:04Thank 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 needed 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?
00:03:20The world speed-cubing 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.
00:04:59Profitable.
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 gamble.
00:05:59Let's gamble.
00:06:02Let's gamble!
00:06:12Let's gamble.
00:06:13Let's gamble.
00:06:16Let's gamble!
00:06:24People who are of course not to me.
00:06:27I reckon I could probably beat you with these.
00:06:30Stan.
00:06:32That's all you got?
00:06:34What happened to the famous Flash?
00:06:36More like a scary little boy playing with daddy's money.
00:06:41Worm probably plays better than you.
00:06:45Patience, big guy.
00:06:46What you got?
00:07:08You're the dealer, remember? You know the rules. If it's less than 16, you gotta take another hit. Go on.
00:07:26Night, night, night, night, night, night, night.
00:07:32God damn it.
00:07:36Looks like it's my lucky day. Keep those cards coming, big guy.
00:07:41Anything's just bad luck.
00:08:07Jason! Jason! Jason! Jason! Jason!
00:08:15Jason's no match for this guy. I have to help Claudia.
00:08:19I had enough!
00:08:21I'm all in. I don't believe you can always beat me with life.
00:08:24Okay.
00:09:05What the?
00:09:07What the?
00:09:07This is bullshit! You are cheating!
00:09:16That's a very serious accusation right there.
00:09:19Can you prove it?
00:09:22Feel free to search me at your own discretion, but when you can't find anything, I expect you to leave
00:09:30your hand and then I'll forgive you!
00:09:41You see, just because, and if the house loses it all to me, who's gonna be able to check out
00:09:49your chips?
00:09:50Unless, 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 do what I
00:10:10say.
00:10:12You're way out of flying!
00:10:14Shut the fuck up, Jason!
00:10:16Haven't you ever gambled before?
00:10:18All for the winner, remember?
00:10:21That's what gambling's about, right?
00:10:24But of course, darling, I'll give you five minutes so you make the right choice.
00:10:30In the meantime, I'll enjoy a lovely drink.
00:10:33Waiter!
00:10:35A drop of your finest whiskey, please!
00:10:41Your 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.
00:11:00I'm the guy who runs this establishment now.
00:11:03As part of my first order of business, I'm gonna kick you out there onto the street after I teach
00:11:08you some manners.
00:11:09Let me handle this. He's not worth your time.
00:11:12I will take care of you, Cole.
00:11:14I don't think you are, though.
00:11:16You said every cent of the house is money, right?
00:11:19I have $100 of the house's money.
00:11:22So, technically, you're not finished yet, are you?
00:11:26Now, you're upon us me.
00:11:35Your opponent's me.
00:11:42Claudia, your bartender's insane.
00:11:45Doctor, any doctors in the house?
00:11:48Texas Hold'em.
00:11:50Heads up. One round.
00:11:52You're no match for me. You're a kid!
00:11:55Can you imagine? That's bullying.
00:11:57What would I say?
00:11:59I'd feel ashamed if people found out.
00:12:01But you have to keep your promise.
00:12:03$100 of the house's money.
00:12:05Right here.
00:12:06What are you gonna do?
00:12:07You bet $100 to get $500,000 back?
00:12:15That's a good one!
00:12:17That bet's $100...
00:12:22...and my life.
00:12:23No! This is not your war to fight!
00:12:26If you win, my life's yours.
00:12:29If I win, you leave Claudia in paradise alone.
00:12:31Are you out of your mind?
00:12:33Listen to me! This is not some back alley game!
00:12:36You saw what he did to Jason. Back off!
00:12:45Your life is of no interest to me, kid.
00:12:48It's literally worthless.
00:12:51But what you can do is talk to Claudia about my idea.
00:12:56And maybe then I'll reconsider a few things.
00:12:59I see.
00:13:01That fucker is helping him!
00:13:04Set in a trap for Claudia!
00:13:06Explain yourself, Born.
00:13:08What do you want?
00:13:11Cut the crap!
00:13:14Are you in?
00:13:23Fine.
00:13:24I'm in.
00:13:26But just remember...
00:13:29I will take great pleasure in seeing Claudia pay top price to bail you out.
00:13:36Don't let him treat you, Claudia.
00:13:40Jason is right.
00:13:41Don't trust Worm.
00:13:44Trust me.
00:13:49Okay.
00:13:50I'm counting on you, Ethan.
00:13:53Bring me a deck!
00:13:54A new deck!
00:14:05Wait.
00:14:06I'd like to shuffle.
00:14:12You got balls, kid.
00:14:13I'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?
00:14:49Are 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 wookie.
00:15:04Wait.
00:15:05Let me cut the deck.
00:15:20Now I have to look at what you've got.
00:15:20I can't see you.
00:15:20I can't see you.
00:15:27I can't see you.
00:15:28I can't see you.
00:15:28He's going to beHHHHH.
00:15:46Hello.
00:15:49I was surprised.
00:15:49I can see you.
00:15:49He's a bad boy.
00:15:49You can't see me.
00:15:49I can't see you.
00:15:50I can't see you.
00:15:51Stakes are set, what difference does it make?
00:15:59I call.
00:16:06Looks like your luck runs out today, kid.
00:16:11I haven't lost.
00:16:13What? Are you blind?
00:16:16I have an 82% chance of winning, bucko.
00:16:20Deuces never lose.
00:16:27Time to see your flop.
00:16:33I need to beat two.
00:16:34Please, god.
00:16:35Two.
00:16:36Two!
00:16:37Two!
00:16:38Two!
00:16:38Two!
00:16:39Two!
00:16:40Two!
00:16:41Two!
00:16:41Two!
00:16:43Fuck.
00:16:45No!
00:16:48This game doesn't count.
00:16:50Let me play with you one more time.
00:16:53He's just a bartender.
00:16:55He can't stand for us.
00:16:57Bet's a bet
00:16:59What do you say, Claudia?
00:17:01It's okay, we can still win
00:17:03You still have a chance to get 2-2
00:17:07You have a 1% chance of winning
00:17:09Go on
00:17:132-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
00:17:18Yes!
00:17:21If there's another 2
00:17:24I'll eat it
00:17:25I'll eat it
00:17:26I'll eat it

00:17:55No! You're a cheater!
00:18:00Two! Two! Two! Two!
00:18:03Yeah!
00:18:10No, what? You're cheating!
00:18:13That 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! You're a cheating bastard!
00:18:48No, no, impossible! This is impossible! You 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! Who are you?
00:18:56My name's Ethan Cross, and you're about to eat that card.
00:19:00Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater! Eater!

00:36:40Final bet
00:36:41Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice
00:36:42How beautiful your hand was
00:36:43Would you be able to lend me
00:36:45Your luck for this round?
00:36:46A woman as beautiful as you
00:36:47Surely wouldn't mind, right?
00:36:49Changed my mind
00:36:50I'm gonna go 15
00:36:52Let's see
00:36:53Let's see
00:36:53Let's see
00:36:54Let's see
00:37:03Let's see
00:37:05We're so rich
00:37:06Oh, my God.
00:37:07Oh, my God.
00:37:10Flash, Rebecca, new table, new game.
00:37:12Let's go.
00:37:26Do you want to play?
00:37:28No, I quit.
00:37:3720 points. Strong hand. Stand or split?
00:37:41Holy idiot who split this hand.
00:37:44Split.
00:37:46Wait, are you crazy? That's a winning hand.
00:37:50Is he serious? Nobody 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. We're definitely winning now.
00:38:10Split.
00:38:17Split.
00:38:20Hey, man.
00:38:22Don't be stupid. You're floating away to money.
00:38:25Have you lost your damn mind?
00:38:26That's $800,000 on the table now.
00:38:44Good advice often falls on deaf ears.
00:38:47This is all my fault. I should have played for you. Look at what you've done.
00:38:5112, 13, 14, 13 points. Would you like to hit off any of these hands?
00:39:01You stand on all four.
00:39:03I've seen some bad plays in my mind but 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.
00:39:20Oh, less than 16, you have to draw another card.
00:39:35Blast it, baby!
00:39:36Yahoo!
00:39:37Yeah!
00:39:38Come here!
00:39:40Yahoo!
00:39:42Thank 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 $20 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 you show your face after that disgrace of paradise?
00:40:46This is Ethan, my cousin from the Bay Area.
00:40:52He owns his own tech startup.
00:40:54All right.
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.
00:41:15Unless 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, 400 grand is easy.
00:41:34Let's go get it.
00:41:35There's no time for that.
00:41:36The high stakes game has already started.
00:41:39But of course you are willing to, uh...
00:41:41You 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, you insignificant nobody.
00:42:00How dare you come to my casino and 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.
00:42:23That's a lot of money.
00:42:24Your credit does not go to hit Peter.
00:42:27I'll put up collateral.
00:42:29What collateral?
00:42:30You have nothing left.
00:42:31I have my body, all my organs.
00:42:35Peter, are you insane?
00:42:36What 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.
00:43:19But something tells me it 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.
00:43:40Wait.
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 100,000.
00:43:53I'm a player.
00:43:55Any more bets?
00:43:56I'll try 100,000.
00:44:02I don't know what to do.
00:44:03I'm a player.
00:44:10You're a player.
00:44:16I'm a player.
00:44:22I'm a player.
00:44:23And I'll try 100,000.
00:44:23I'll try 100,000.
00:44:24That's your second game.
00:44:25I'll try 100,000.
00:44:26I'll try 100,000.
00:44:26If you want to try 100,000.
00:44:30Losing already, are we?
00:44:39Looks like the new kids won't just come out.
00:44:44Should we stay at the roll-aid table?
00:44:46At least you keep your money a little bit longer.
00:44:50I thought you were the chosen one, but you were just lucky earlier, aren't you?
00:44:55Love buys the chips, skew-casts them.
00:45:00Have you ever another game?
00:45:03Or do you need a moment to cry?
00:45:06I'll be one player.
00:45:11Desperate and foolish.
00:45:13I'm trying to provoke you.
00:45:15Don't take the bait. We have all night to get it back.
00:45:28Wait.
00:45:31I'd like to cut the deck.
00:45:32I'd like to cut the deck.
00:45:38Don't take the bait.
00:45:47I'm trying to knock you out
00:46:02or I'll be one player.
00:46:02You're 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.
00:46:30It's a natural eight, we need a natural nine.
00:46:33What are the odds of that?
00:46:41You know, I think today might just be my lucky day.
00:46:47Whoa!
00:46:48Yes! Oh my god!
00:46:49My god, you did it!
00:46:50Yes!
00:46:51No, I...
00:46:53You're cheating.
00:46:54You say that, you've been shuffling and handling the deck.
00:46:57He's barely touched the cards.
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!
00:47:36Let's go!
00:47:36All right, all right.
00:47:38Let's get some exercise.
00:47:45Nice!
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 gonna keep winning until 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, but also your right hand.
00:48:37Don't do this, Ethan.
00:48:39You can walk away from this right now.
00:48:41Okay?
00:48:42I've got debts to pay.
00:48:43You have enough money.
00:48:45We can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:48:49Deal.
00:48:58Let's go!
00:49:00Let's go!
00:49:02Let's go!
00:49:17Let's go!
00:49:27Impressive for a rookie, but not good enough.
00:49:34One, 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 he was going to beat me?
00:49:48Some nobody.
00:49:51I tell you what, I'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.
00:50:20Face your defeat.
00:50:32Third 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!
00:51:17Nobody 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.
00:51:51Ken, what is it?
00:51:53Boss, some kitty wants to talk to you.
00:52:02Mr. X, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:52:04Who is this?
00:52:06Oh, me, I'm nobody.
00:52:07But 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, wait, 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 right 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, you'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 been 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.
00:54:24I 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.
00:55:26If I win, you tell me the answer to something that I want to know.
00:55:30If you win, if you win, my last choice.
00:55:35The answer to whatever question that may be, must be very important to you.
00:55:40Do you know, Ethan, it's been years since anyone has dared challenge me.
00:55:45You don't stand a fucking chance.
00:55:50But if death is your wish, then I accept your challenge.
00:55:56But not in this dump.
00:55:58Come to my place.
00:56:00It's $10 million to enter.
00:56:06I don't waste time on small games.
00:56:10Oh, by the way, Spades really suits you well.
00:56:33Bob, I 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 complicated.
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.
00:57:18Hey, your father made you promise to stay away from gambling because he didn't want you caught up in these
00:57:22syndicate 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, but I'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 and 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 going to 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.
00:58:41Maybe we're just going to show up.
00:58:44I can't believe some rookie would dare to challenge you.
00:58:48The movie 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.
00:59:19Oh my.
00:59:20Welcome, welcome.
00:59:22The challengers finally arrive.
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.
00:59:54Standard procedure for fairness, of course.
00:59:59We hear that.
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, what 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?
01:03:57I'm sorry.
01:03:58I 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.
01:04:15And 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.
01:05:14You think you can beat me?
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.
01:05:35All is co-chasing.
01:05:39Is it clear?
01:05:41Any questions?
01:05:44Please check.
01:06:02Small plans, big plans, please.
01:06:05Please.
01:06:25Raise 300,000.
01:06:29Your father used to like the bluff, pre-flop.
01:06:32I tell I exploited many times.
01:06:35We were partners once.
01:06:37You know, before we decided to go straight.
01:06:39You're lying.
01:06:40Am I?
01:06:42We raised 1.3 million.
01:06:51Ask yourself why he made you promise never to gamble.
01:06:58Call.
01:07:00Call.
01:07:15I was thinking 1.2 million.
01:07:25Call.
01:07:3510,000.
01:07:41All in.
01:07:46Even with that straight and flush, you have less than 30% chance to hit.
01:07:52The pot is against you.
01:07:55Basic math.
01:08:12Show them the river.
01:08:18It'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.
01:08:31When he's playing like a madman.
01:08:36One hand, two and a half million dollars gone.
01:08:39Just like that.
01:08:41Quarter of your chips have vanished because 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 and take everything you have.
01:08:56I will destroy you in your arrogance.
01:08:58And you see, that's why he's the man.
01:09:03He knows how to break a man's mind.
01:09:06To Mr. X, the master of gambling.
01:09:11Don't listen to him.
01:09:12He's deliberately messing with your head.
01:09:15He's the man's mind.
01:09:16He's the man.
01:09:16He's the man.
01:09:18Oh, no.
01:09:19Oh, no.
