00:16Boss, think I'm finally in line for that Archangel promotion?
00:24Your credit record shows an outstanding balance of 3,000 merit points.
00:28No promotion until it's paid off.
00:32Well, come on, you know how it went.
00:34I burned through every last point saving humans last time.
00:37Come on, cut me a break.
00:38I'll pay you back, principal and interest, the second I make Archangel.
00:41You want to take out a new loan to cover the old one?
00:44This isn't a charity.
00:46No, no, this is different.
00:48I swear it.
00:49You've got 17 unpaid debts on file.
00:52Here's the offer.
00:5410,000 merit points on a payment plan.
00:568.7% annual interest repaid with your future merit points.
01:02A payment plan?
01:03You're a lifesaver, boss.
01:05I'm in.
01:05Miss a payment, you get late fees.
01:08And we trigger the forced collection protocol.
01:10Then the contract is binding.
01:13First payment, 1,000 merit points.
01:18Do now.
01:24And it's a total domination.
01:26Champion Marcus is unstoppable.
01:28Look at that left hook.
01:32Oh, David's down again.
01:46What the hell?
01:47He's not dead?
01:48He's up.
01:48Damn it.
01:49They stuck me in a pathetic washed up box body's body.
01:55How the hell is this guy still breathing?
01:57I need to finish him fast.
01:58These steel balls in my gloves won't stay hidden much longer.
02:00Thank the light.
02:01My powers are still here.
02:03I can still see through anything and hear every damn thought.
02:07You were dead.
02:08The fight's over.
02:09It's done.
02:12Fight continues.
02:14You're just a gambling junkie who lets himself get punched for cash.
02:17You want to die twice?
02:18I'll make it quick.
02:19Fake the right to push him back.
02:21Then hit his ribs with a left hook.
02:22Finish.
02:40Mark has cheated with his gloves.
02:42The winner, the Ghost David.
02:46The winner, the Ghost David.
02:48Merit points.
02:50I'm coming for you.
03:03This must be my wife.
03:10The place is pretty bare bones.
03:13But the lady of the house has made it feel so warm and cozy.
03:21I'm back.
03:25You got beaten bad tonight.
03:27Hurry and put some medicine on it.
03:34Thanks.
03:36So this is the original's wife, deaf and mute, and he beat her for years.
03:41Take it.
03:42It's what I earned tonight.
03:44All the money I make from now on is for fixing your voice.
03:47It's not enough, though.
03:48Do you have any cash stashed somewhere?
03:52David, please, stop lying to me.
03:55This is our last money for food.
03:57Don't take it.
03:58That bastard ruined everything for her.
04:00She can't even believe I'm being nice.
04:02Thinks I'm just after her cash.
04:08Hey, buddy.
04:10Open up.
04:12Got a can't-lose deal for you.
04:15I know you're in there.
04:16Don't hide.
04:20David!
04:20Got the sickest deal for you.
04:22Jake's got a new fight den open.
04:24Odds are through the roof.
04:25Go without me.
04:25I'm staying with my wife.
04:27Staying with her?
04:27Since when you start making jokes, man?
04:29You used to call her a charity case.
04:30Just some chick who owes you her life for saving her.
04:33That was the old me.
04:34And I said no.
04:35End of story.
04:36Come on, David.
04:37Johnny's trying to hook you up.
04:38You don't want to fight?
04:39Fine.
04:39Lend us $800.
04:40We'll split the winnings with you.
04:4110% cut.
04:42Win-win, man.
04:43You get to play house with the wife and still make bank.
04:46What's not to like?
04:46I got no money for you.
04:50You got cash and you're holding out on your boys?
04:52Real cool, David.
04:54Shame it's chump change.
04:55We need way more than this.
04:56Put the money down.
05:00Or what?
05:01You gonna hit us?
05:05Come on, David.
05:06Your old lady's only getting finer look at that face.
05:08That body.
05:09Danny pay a pretty penny for her.
05:11Easy.
05:11Damn straight.
05:12She's a looker.
05:13Could get her a nice little gig making quick cash.
05:16Ain't like she can hear or scream none anyway.
05:18Some guys love that sh-
05:26You...
05:27You dare hit me?
05:48The money.
05:49Give it back.
05:50The one you stole from her.
05:56Remember this.
05:58Don't show your faces around me ever again.
06:00And don't you dare speak of her with that mouth of yours.
06:03Next time, it won't just be a broken nose and ribs.
06:07Get out.
06:13Keep it safe.
06:19You'll get hurt.
06:20They have so many friends.
06:21They'll come back for revenge.
06:23Don't be scared.
06:24From now on, I'll protect you.
06:26I'll make the money to fix your voice.
06:29I'm not the man I was before.
06:31I promise.
06:36My merit points.
06:38Let them start with protecting her.
06:48Subject, Elena.
06:50Condition, acquired sensory neurogenic abysa.
06:53Primary injury, lorinal cartical damage.
06:56Ilana, I know how to fix your voice.
06:59Really?
07:00But is it going to cost a lot?
07:02Is it dangerous?
07:04I'm fine with how we are.
07:06Safe, together.
07:08I'm scared.
07:09Don't worry about the money.
07:10I'll-
07:10No!
07:11Don't go back to the underground fights.
07:13I've heard the stories.
07:15People die there.
07:17I don't care about my voice anymore.
07:19I just need you to be okay.
07:21I said I'd protect you.
07:22And I'm going to fix your voice.
07:24I mean it.
07:25Die way!
07:26Ilana!
07:27I know you're in there.
07:29Rent's two days late.
07:30Pay it today, or get your junk out of my building.
07:33Now!
07:35Davey.
07:36Nice to see you not glued to a poker table for once.
07:40Elena, honey, I hate to be the bad guy.
07:43But this ain't a charity.
07:45Rules are rules.
07:46Rent's due the first, and it's the third now.
07:48Mrs. Harris, I'm so sorry.
07:50We're having a hard time.
07:51It's just a few more days.
07:52That last month.
07:53I've cut you slat long enough.
07:55Today, either you fork over $450, or I call the movers to clear you out.
07:59Your call.
08:00Mrs. Harris, we'll pay the rent.
08:02Just give us a little more time.
08:04Time?
08:05Your idea of time is wasting it at the fights or the casino.
08:08You never make a dime that sticks.
08:10Now, cash.
08:12Or get out.
08:15This is all I have for now.
08:18It's a start.
08:20Oh, my God!
08:22You think these pennies are going to pay your rent?
08:25David, are you trying to insult me?
08:27Or just embarrass yourself?
08:30One second.
08:33This is all I have.
08:36This is all I've got.
08:38Gotta make it work.
08:44Mrs. Harris, take this diamond.
08:46It's a collateral for this month's rent.
08:47A diamond this big?
08:49Never seen one in my life.
08:51It's a fake.
08:52Plain and simple.
08:53You'd be lucky to get a few bucks for it at a pawn shop.
09:00Please.
09:02Fine.
09:02For Elena's sake.
09:04One week.
09:05I'm only giving you one week.
09:07Pay me the $450 in cash by then, or I'm selling this junk to a pawn shop.
09:11Don't say I didn't warn you.
09:14That diamond.
09:15I've never seen you wear it before.
09:17Promise me you didn't do anything bad to get it.
09:20Oh, that old thing?
09:22Found it years ago, had no clue what it was worth.
09:25Stashed it in a box and totally forgot about it.
09:28A week.
09:29Can we really get the money in time?
09:32I don't want you stressing over this.
09:34Don't worry about it.
09:35I said I'd fix this, and I will.
09:38I'll get the diamond and your necklace back by the deadline.
09:41You have my word.
09:45David, it's John.
09:47Heard you're short on cash.
09:49Yeah.
09:50There's a private poker game at the Moonjoy Bar.
09:52Easy win with your skills.
09:54$100,000 buy-in.
09:56If you're going to play in this game, you're going to need all the help you can get.
09:58Send me the address again.
10:00I'll be there tonight.
10:01Smart move.
10:02Same time as always.
10:04Don't forget the cash.
10:12You still in debt to someone?
10:16I landed a job interview.
10:18Just need 50 bucks for it.
10:21I trust you.
10:23You're not the same man anymore.
10:24This is all we have left.
10:26Take it.
10:27Come back soon.
10:30I will.
10:31Wait for me.
10:35You here.
10:36Got the cash?
10:38200 bucks.
10:39Every last cent.
10:41You said this private game's the real deal?
10:43Better not be a scam.
10:46You know it.
10:48It's legit.
10:49Come on.
10:50Follow me.
10:57Well, well.
10:58Look who it is.
10:59The famous money train, David.
11:01Lost your last dollar and your dignity last time, didn't you?
11:06You fool, Lucifer.
11:08Lose all your cash.
11:09Sign that collateral deal.
11:11And that beautiful wife of yours is mine to sell for a pretty penny.
11:14David, Victor says he'll put you in touch with someone.
11:18You can return the favor once you've got your feet on the ground.
11:20It's a fair deal, isn't it?
11:26Sure.
11:28If Victor's so kind to offer, who am I to say no?
11:34You think you can set me up?
11:36Let's see who will win.
11:40Elena, another customer asked him about that Geradium's on the window sit painting.
11:44He's offering $150.
11:46You sure you don't want to sell it?
11:47It'd help with your bills.
11:48A lot.
11:48I want to keep it.
11:49Thank you, Mr. Frank.
11:52All right.
11:52I respect it.
11:53Go stock the new Soda Supportman in the back, will ya?
12:00He's here, in a place like this.
12:01He promised he'd stop gambling.
12:03But maybe he has no choice.
12:05Maybe it's for us.
12:07Elena, what are you doing here?
12:09I work here, David.
12:10Tell me the truth.
12:11Are you gambling again?
12:12Was the job interview this morning a lie?
12:14Elena, this is a chance.
12:16I can make enough money fast to fix your voice and get your necklace back.
12:20David, I'm terrified.
12:21I don't want you getting hurt.
12:23I don't want you to go back to who you were.
12:25Can't we take it slow?
12:26I can work more jobs.
12:27I can sell my paintings.
12:29Elena, look at me.
12:30Trust me.
12:31I promised I'd protect you.
12:33I promised I'd fix your voice.
12:36And I will.
12:37If this is for our future, I trust you.
12:41I swear to you.
12:42I'm gonna win this.
12:44Wait for me.
12:46That's David's wife.
12:48Elena.
12:49Such a pretty little thing.
12:51Make sure David loses everything.
12:53I want that special contract signed.
12:55And I want it fast.
13:03David.
13:04What'll it be for you?
13:06What else can he play?
13:07The bloke can't even afford the minimum stake.
13:16Ten bucks.
13:17That's my bet.
13:18Ten bucks?
13:18Are you kidding me?
13:19This is a private game.
13:20Not a street corner slot machine.
13:22Mr. Victor, just kick him out.
13:23He's wasting everyone's time.
13:25Ten bucks?
13:26Well, that's a first.
13:27House rule's a hundred minimum.
13:28But for John's sake, I'll make an exception.
13:30What game you want to lose at?
13:33Keep it simple.
13:34Roll the dice.
13:35One toss.
13:36Winner takes all.
13:37Interesting.
13:38You sure about that?
13:39Dead sure.
13:40Mr. Victor, just roll the dice.
13:42Let this loser learn his lesson.
13:43Roll it.
13:53Snake size.
13:54Three ones.
13:56Snake jars, are you out of your mind?
13:58That's the worst bet you could make.
13:59You'd be better off buying me a drink with that ten bucks.
14:02David.
14:02Last chance.
14:04Change your bet.
14:06Open it.
14:10Snake stars.
14:12Three ones.
14:15What?
14:16Snake shars for real?
14:18No way.
14:19What kind of luck is this?
14:20150 to one.
14:21That's 1,500 bucks for me.
14:23Nice luck.
14:24Keep going.
14:26Keep going.
14:35Snake shies.
14:36Three twos.
14:38God damn it!
14:39You dare bet snake eyes again?
14:40I don't believe this!
14:46Payout.
14:58David.
14:59You're...
15:00full of surprises.
15:03Just lucky.
15:05You want to keep this going, Victor?
15:07Or...
15:08you're gonna step up and play yourself?
15:10Too much luck makes you a target.
15:12Sam, get over here.
15:13Play with Mr. David.
15:18Place your bet.
15:22Kid, no matter what you're playing at, the dice do what I say.
15:25Always.
15:26Sam never lets me down.
15:28Your turn.
15:37All in.
15:38Snake size.
15:39Three sixes.
15:41Doesn't matter what he guessed.
15:43I can change it.
15:45Wait a second.
15:48How about we let Mr. Vic lift the cup this time?
15:51I've got a feeling he'll bring me luck.
16:00Snake eyes.
16:01Three sixes.
16:04Good.
16:06Good you've got guts, kid.
16:09Looks like my luck's holding out tonight.
16:12Mr. Victor, let's settle up.
16:14150 to 1.
16:15Remember?
16:18Victor.
16:20Mr. Victor, I had no idea.
16:23I swear.
16:24Spare me.
16:27Come on.
16:36David, you think you can win and just walk away?
16:39Why?
16:40You got a rule against winning here?
16:46David.
16:48You win all this cash and just bolt?
16:50That's not how you show respect to me.
16:54How about one more game?
16:58Oh?
16:59What else you got, Victor?
17:01Seems like your dice guys can't keep up.
17:03Real men play games that take brains and guts.
17:06Texas Holders.
17:07Just you and me.
17:08Winner takes all.
17:09Your cash.
17:10My table stake.
17:11You in?
17:14Sounds interesting.
17:17All right.
17:18Let's play.
17:19Sure.
17:20I'll play.
17:25That's Mr. Smith, the Las Vegas poker legend.
17:28It's the poker king.
17:30Mr. Myth, I had no idea you'd honor us with a visit.
17:33Please, have a seat.
17:36Just passing through.
17:38Heard things were lively here.
17:40Carry on.
17:40Don't let me interrupt.
17:47Shall we?
17:49Let's go.
17:50Gentlemen, please verify the cards.
17:56Fine.
17:57Looks good to me.
18:06Then, let's begin.
18:08Blinds are $1,000.
18:18David, Texas Holders isn't about luck.
18:22It's about skill.
18:23Something you clearly don't have.
18:29A pair of kings.
18:31I'll just nudge him with a small raise.
18:33Hook him in.
18:35A pair of kings.
18:36Not bad.
18:37Too bad you think so loud.
18:38Action.
18:39Please.
18:40Raise to three grand.
18:42You in, David?
18:44Or you gonna fold like a coward?
18:50Call.
18:52Call.
18:55Yes.
18:56I gotta milk this for all it's worth.
19:01Raise to six grand.
19:03Call.
19:05Still with me, Davili?
19:07Might wanna fold before you lose every cent you got.
19:09Raise to eight grand.
19:13Pass.
19:14This guy's not as dumb as he looks.
19:17Gotta take it slow.
19:19Don't scare him off.
19:22Looks like your day's luck ran out, Dawe.
19:25Texas Holden's about skill and guts.
19:28Something you're short on.
19:30Cut the crap.
19:31Deal the cards.
19:34Aces.
19:35Pocket aces.
19:37God's on my side.
19:38This time I'm cleaning him out for good.
19:40Finally, the big one.
19:42Time to let him show his hand.
19:45Terrible cards.
19:46Perfect.
19:49He's three budding me.
19:50Must have a solid hand.
19:52But I've got pocket aces.
19:54Unbeatable.
19:54Can't scare him off.
19:55Play it slow.
19:56Drag him in deeper.
19:57Call.
19:57You seem pretty confident about this one, David.
20:00Just having fun.
20:02Bet five grand.
20:04Three aces.
20:05Nothing beats this.
20:06Call him.
20:06Build that pot bigger.
20:07He's gonna lose it all.
20:08Call.
20:09This one's irrelevant to you.
20:10Bet ten grand.
20:11Time to reel him in.
20:13Gotta blow this pot up.
20:14Make him regret ever sitting down.
20:15Oh?
20:15You sure about that?
20:16Let's test how strong your hand really is.
20:18Raise to thirty grand.
20:26Gotta sell the act.
20:28Make him think I'm on the edge.
20:31Call.
20:33Taking his money isn't enough.
20:35That wife of his, Elena.
20:37She's the real prize.
20:38David.
20:39Let's make this last round interesting.
20:41What do you say?
20:42If this is gonna go down,
20:44you gotta bring your wife Elena over for a little sit down.
20:47I got some business to talk over with her.
20:52Deal.
20:53There's no way I lose this.
20:57Just as I thought.
20:58A good-for-nothing gambler who'll sell anything for money.
21:01Perfect.
21:02You're a man after my own heart.
21:04Now I'll all in.
21:07Your turn, David.
21:09Call.
21:10Or get the hell out.
21:11Call.
21:12And I'll raise you this.
21:14If I win, I take the money.
21:15And you never go near Elena again.
21:17If I lose,
21:18you can do whatever you want with both of us.
21:21Deal.
21:21You're just bluffing.
21:24Show your cards.
21:25I've got pocket aces, three of a kind.
21:29What could you possibly have to beat that?
21:38Looks like I win.
21:39Your three aces can't beat a straight, Mr. Victor.
21:47You dared to three-bet me with a lousy 5-8 offsuit?
21:51Haven't you heard?
21:53Texas Hold'em's a game for the bold.
21:57Thanks for the win.
22:06Fascinating, young man.
22:09Gotta get back fast.
22:11Elena's waiting.
22:15Mr. David.
22:16In a hurry?
22:17Mr. Victor.
22:19Wants you to come back for a chat.
22:21Real interesting hospitality you got here, Victor.
22:23Head of the bodyguards.
22:24Cut the crap.
22:25Hand over the box and stay put.
22:27The boss is humiliated thanks to you.
22:29You gotta pay for that.
22:30Boss said beat him to a pump.
22:31He'll cover whatever happens.
22:33Let's see what you got.
22:49Damn it.
22:51Punching legend my ass.
22:53Finish him off.
22:54This is fun.
23:00Get out.
23:01Fall back.
23:02Fall back now.
23:08You here to take a swing too?
23:10I don't care about the money, but your poker skills, they're fascinating.
23:16Young man, I don't care about the money, but your performance at the poker table tonight,
23:21it reminds me of someone I used to know.
23:24Guess Victor's VIP has pretty broad interests.
23:29Just an old condition.
23:30Nothing to worry about.
23:35This isn't an illness.
23:37You can see it?
23:39I can.
23:40A twisted force, feeding on your life core, draining you bit by bit.
23:45Go on.
23:46Tell me more.
23:47It's not a natural affliction.
23:48It's more like a curse.
23:50A vile mark anchored to your soul or body, fueled by dark magic.
23:53Regular medicine, even most exorcisms, can only scratch the surface.
23:56They can't touch the root.
23:57The root?
23:57How do you break it?
23:58You need both internal and external measures.
24:00Find the caster's lingering will and tear it out.
24:03Seven years.
24:04I've seen every top doctor in Europe.
24:06Some threw up their hands.
24:07Others just gave me painkillers and sedatives, told me it was incurable.
24:11You're just a washed-up boxer, hanging around underground fights and gambling dems,
24:15yet you saw it in one glance.
24:16You even know how to fight it.
24:18Who are you?
24:18Just a lucky guy who knows a little more than most.
24:20Believe me or not, your call.
24:21I believe you.
24:22At the very least, you gave me something no one else could.
24:24This isn't the place to talk.
24:26Come with me to my place, we can fit me goons showing up again.
24:30After all, you've got someone waiting for you at home, don't you?
24:33This could be the way to get the rest of the money I need.
24:37Lead the way.
24:47Make himself at home.
24:49No need for formalities.
25:03David, back in the alley, you saw it in one glance, called this illness for what it really is, a
25:10curse.
25:12If you can cure me, I'll cover every last cent of Elena's treatment, no expenses spared.
25:17Deal of the century.
25:19Exorcism's what angels do, power or no power.
25:21I've got this.
25:22Mr. Smith, your offer is generous.
25:25I accept.
25:33Let's begin, Mr. Smith.
25:34It might be uncomfortable.
25:36Try to relax.
25:37Don't resist the energy.
25:45There it is.
25:46Need to guide it carefully.
25:48No mistakes.
25:50No mistakes.
26:05Only by the light of heaven, purify this corruption.
26:12That's it.
26:14First session's done.
26:16Can't push further tonight.
26:19This, this feeling, it's been seven years, that constant searing pain, it's gone, faded so much.
26:27Mr. Gray, you did it.
26:28This isn't a trick.
26:29This is real.
26:29I can feel it.
26:30I spent millions on doctors.
26:32All they gave me was disappointment.
26:33You've, you fixed more in one session than any of them could.
26:36It's just preliminary.
26:37I dredged and suppressed it.
26:38You'll need more treatments.
26:39I understand.
26:40I understand completely.
26:42This is five million dollars for your services tonight.
26:46And next month, there's the World Poker Championship in Monte Claro.
26:49This is a VIP invitation.
26:50Top tier.
26:51No strings attached.
26:52I want you to compete.
