00:00:05Welcome to High Card Hustle.
00:00:07I'm rich! I won! I actually won!
00:00:12No! No! Please don't take my hand!
00:00:18My name is Liam, an S-Class Hustler.
00:00:22In this world, cards aren't just gambling tools.
00:00:26They're power, wealth, and magic itself.
00:00:31Every day, fortunes rise and fall.
00:00:35Winners are crowned.
00:00:36And fools lose everything.
00:00:40Oh, you ask about me?
00:00:42I never lose.
00:00:44I am Liam, the Phantom Ace.
00:00:47The greatest Hustler alive.
00:00:49Hey! Liam's cheating!
00:00:53Hustlers lose a hand!
00:00:58Wait! Wait! You have to search me!
00:01:01You have to search me first!
00:01:09What's going on here?
00:01:10The dealer found a marked card.
00:01:12Someone was mixing them into the deck.
00:01:14The rest of us were searched already.
00:01:16That only leaves him.
00:01:22You picked the wrong house, Hotshot.
00:01:25New blood like you doesn't last five minutes in a place like this.
00:01:33Unless he thinks he's the Phantom Ace.
00:01:36Is he the Phantom Ace?
00:01:38The Phantom Ace?
00:01:39Please.
00:01:41The masked Phantom Ace mastered all 28 tricks.
00:01:44And vanished from the gambling underworld years ago.
00:01:48Exactly.
00:01:49This little punk couldn't palm a dinner roll without getting caught.
00:01:54Search him anyway.
00:01:55Let's see what this rookie's hiding.
00:01:59Jesus, Liam.
00:02:01Professor Alden...
00:02:02You'd think the star student of a master Hustler would be more careful than to cheat in a place like
00:02:06this.
00:02:06What aren't you saying?
00:02:08Speak up!
00:02:09I don't know him.
00:02:10But I played this table earlier.
00:02:13If you're gonna search him, search me as well.
00:02:16You're gonna search him as well.
00:02:35Satisfied?
00:02:37Pants two!
00:02:39Hold it.
00:02:41I found something.
00:02:47Listen, I'm a master Hustler.
00:02:50Cards, dice, gears.
00:02:51I can be of use to you.
00:02:52I can teach you what I know.
00:02:54Master Hustler, huh?
00:02:56Is that so?
00:03:08Is that so?
00:03:12Keep my girl safe!
00:03:16Alden!
00:03:17Alden!
00:03:23That night still haunts me.
00:03:25Even after all this time, I don't know who Alden wanted me to keep safe.
00:03:34I'm coming.
00:03:36I'm coming.
00:03:39I'm coming!
00:03:40I'm coming!
00:03:50Professor Stone, I need your help.
00:03:55You need...
00:03:57You need...
00:03:58You need...
00:03:58A minute.
00:04:01Or...
00:04:03Office hours are...
00:04:0710 to 12.
00:04:13You lost two million dollars in a game with a one dollar buy-in?
00:04:16Lost is not the right word.
00:04:18My father also taught statistics.
00:04:20What are the chances the same player pulls four of a kind twice in a row?
00:04:26Improbable is not impossible.
00:04:28I have a photographic memory and a knack for counting cards.
00:04:31There were four aces on the table and one in my hand.
00:04:33What does that tell you?
00:04:34Tells me you tried to hustle and got hustled.
00:04:37I know that, casino.
00:04:38Be grateful you still have two hands.
00:04:41Listen, miss...
00:04:42Briar.
00:04:43These people stole all the money my father left me when he died
00:04:46and now the mob is hounding me for the rest of the payment.
00:05:03I came to you because I want to learn how to out-hustle those hustlers and win my money back.
00:05:07I was told you're the best.
00:05:09Well, besides the Phantom Ace.
00:05:11Who told you I'm the best?
00:05:15My father.
00:05:16Your father was Alden?
00:05:21Keep my girls safe!
00:05:24Keep my girls safe!
00:05:29Alden!
00:05:31Yes.
00:05:33I'm Alden's little girl.
00:05:35Or I was.
00:05:38So, you'll help me?
00:05:44This is the place where Professor Alden died.
00:05:48Where I buried the worst night of my life.
00:05:50And only when I swore I'd never use again.
00:05:57You ready to take this place down?
00:06:01More than you know.
00:06:03No.
00:06:03No.
00:06:07No.
00:06:14No.
00:06:49Are you hitting on my girlfriend?
00:06:51What? No! Of course not!
00:07:03It's them! Those two stole my money!
00:07:12Think fast and keep your cool.
00:07:15Tell me, what's the first rule of hustling?
00:07:27A good hustler identifies their target's core weakness within moments of meeting them.
00:07:34You have to pay attention.
00:07:43There's a lot to glean in a glance.
00:07:56Quick, what do you see?
00:07:58Vivian St. Clair.
00:08:00She draws a lot of attention to her body.
00:08:02Maybe to appear confident.
00:08:04Vain.
00:08:05But she's not.
00:08:07She's nervous.
00:08:08Concerned for her boutique?
00:08:10Is it doing well?
00:08:23Briar Thorne.
00:08:25Back to lose more money?
00:08:27Tell me.
00:08:28Who's your boyfriend?
00:08:37Fiancé, actually.
00:08:39Oh, wow.
00:08:41Fiancé.
00:08:43Careful.
00:08:45He looks good enough to steal.
00:08:52Hands off.
00:08:54So cold.
00:08:55Must be that cheap coat.
00:08:57You should drop by my boutique.
00:08:59I'm sure we could make a deal.
00:09:00So, what brings you both in today?
00:09:02You here to beg for what you lost?
00:09:04Kelvin Slade.
00:09:05Breath stinks of cigarettes and whiskey.
00:09:07Everything he owns came from Vivian's boutique,
00:09:10mooching off his new girlfriend since his wife left.
00:09:12That's his weak point.
00:09:16Why would I do that?
00:09:18Got everything I need right here.
00:09:23Hey, that's my girlfriend!
00:09:24See, I'm gonna win back everything you took from my briar.
00:09:27And then some.
00:09:29With what?
00:09:30That professor's salary?
00:09:31Careful.
00:09:32He's not just some professor.
00:09:34His teacher was the Phantom Ace.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:43The Phantom Ace was a masked king of the table.
00:09:46Your fiancé looks like he grades papers by candlelight and cries after.
00:09:51I don't care who he is.
00:09:52It's time to play.
00:10:14Let the games begin.
00:10:22See you at the table, tiger.
00:10:32You ready?
00:10:38Hey.
00:10:39You dropped this earlier.
00:10:40Thank you!
00:10:42I didn't realize!
00:10:45More chips, please!
00:10:53No!
00:10:54You can't!
00:10:56You're going to lose!
00:10:58Do you want us to have nothing left?
00:11:00Just stand there and look pretty!
00:11:04Forgive my fiancé.
00:11:06She's young and experienced.
00:11:08That's why she lost.
00:11:10Besides, I'm the better player.
00:11:13I'm naturally lucky.
00:11:14Naturally lucky, of course.
00:11:16Much more believable than briar's little Phantom Ace fantasy.
00:11:20If he knows the Phantom Ace, I'm the Queen of Hearts.
00:11:24Yes!
00:11:37What do you know?
00:11:38A full horse.
00:11:40To the victor goes the spoiler.
00:11:42On the line.
00:11:48Like I said, I'm just lucky.
00:11:56That kind of timing.
00:11:58I've only heard of one hustler who could read a table that fast.
00:12:01Oh, please.
00:12:02I'm only saying, the last man I saw read a table that clean for a black mask.
00:12:06Then maybe clean your monocle.
00:12:07This man is not the Phantom Ace.
00:12:11What the hell?
00:12:12There's no way he's the legendary Phantom Ace.
00:12:15The real Ace never showed his face.
00:12:17That's gotta be luck.
00:12:18Right?
00:12:19Enough whispering.
00:12:21Let's play.
00:12:38Alright, let's see what I've got.
00:12:48Classic discards for you.
00:12:52Left.
00:12:54That means...
00:13:10His golden set is on his right.
00:13:27Just as I thought.
00:13:28They work the table as a team.
00:13:30Vivian has a work wife.
00:13:42The work wife?
00:13:44Really?
00:13:45Because they're working the table.
00:13:47Get it?
00:13:49Look, maybe it's not the coolest name, but it's the most common way to cheat at cards.
00:13:55Two hustlers working together can give each other a huge advantage.
00:14:00Then if that's true, why shouldn't I play at the table beside you?
00:14:04Our biggest advantage is them thinking they have the upper hand.
00:14:07As my doling girlfriend, you can observe their plays and feed me information while they think I'm not paying attention.
00:14:16Girlfriend?
00:14:17Easy there.
00:14:18We haven't even had coffee.
00:14:27Technique zero?
00:14:30Method act.
00:14:32If your opponent's a hustler, always stay in character.
00:14:39These assholes think we're just some dumb ruse.
00:14:42A sexist jerk and his over-emotional wife.
00:14:45Little do they know.
00:14:47That's why they'll lose.
00:14:58Shit.
00:14:59Slipped through my fingers.
00:15:00Hold your fingers like this.
00:15:02Again.
00:15:15Who's that?
00:15:16One of the Phantom Ace's tricks?
00:15:18One of the Phantom Ace's tricks?
00:15:20It's a card trick.
00:15:22That cut paper in half and stabbed your chalkboard?
00:15:25A good card trick.
00:15:28The real trick is figuring out how to exchange cards covertly.
00:15:36About that, what if you slapped me?
00:15:41You want me?
00:15:43No, I don't want people to think I abuse you.
00:15:46Well, the over-emotional girlfriend, over-confident, sexist boyfriend thing.
00:15:51It fits the M.O. you crafted.
00:15:53Plus, I'm not into a little love tap from time to time.
00:16:00I'm getting bored.
00:16:01How about we make things more interesting?
00:16:04One hundred thousand.
00:16:06Unless you're not man enough.
00:16:12Stop!
00:16:13They upped the bet to lure you in.
00:16:15That's exactly how they got me.
00:16:16Get off me!
00:16:35That fall, she hit something.
00:16:37Do you really think this little lover's quarrel is a Phantom Ace technique?
00:16:40Please.
00:16:41The Phantom Ace had elegance.
00:16:43That was just ugly.
00:16:47It's all right, I'm fine.
00:16:52Are you fine?
00:16:55Oh, you have no idea.
00:17:00He's being dramatic.
00:17:01Women, right?
00:17:02The Phantom Ace would never lose control over a crying girl.
00:17:07I raised to two hundred thousand.
00:17:10If you can't meet the bet, get out.
00:17:17This is a low-stakes table.
00:17:20I don't do low-stakes.
00:17:22Boring is for the poor.
00:17:24Careful.
00:17:24You may be one of those poor soon enough.
00:17:27This is the deed to St. Clair's.
00:17:30Surely you've heard of it.
00:17:33It's only the most prestigious clothing store on the West Coast.
00:17:36All the most famous celebrities shop there.
00:17:39Are you sure you want to bet that?
00:17:40Of course.
00:17:41It's a sure bet.
00:17:43Why?
00:17:43Can't ant up?
00:17:44You could always take a loan from the casino.
00:17:51Come here, honey.
00:17:52I need to borrow your engagement ring.
00:17:59Her engagement ring?
00:18:10Bets with sentimental value can sometimes guilt the other players into folding early.
00:18:16Or, if you're playing other hustlers.
00:18:28Professor!
00:18:29Liam!
00:18:30I don't know what to say.
00:18:32It throws them off their game.
00:18:38That was part of the lesson.
00:18:39I totally knew that.
00:18:50She'll come back once I win.
00:18:54What, are we supposed to be impressed?
00:18:57The Phantom Ace was a legend.
00:18:59This man is just humiliating his fiancée in public.
00:19:02Exactly.
00:19:03No legend needs a woman's tears to win a hand.
00:19:06Sorry, but a ring?
00:19:08How much could that possibly be worth?
00:19:09I've been in my family ten generations.
00:19:13My grandmother smuggled it out of Germany while fleeing the Nazis.
00:19:20I think I've been in my family.
00:19:23I'm not a god.
00:19:23Look at this.
00:19:25I'm not a man.
00:19:26I'm a man.
00:19:27It's a man.
00:19:27No one knows.
00:19:43I'm not a man.
00:20:00Those aces are interesting.
00:20:03Care to go fish?
00:20:20Time for the showdown.
00:20:25Guess I'm the one who's naturally lucky.
00:20:39Sure about that?
00:20:40Not even the Phantom Ace can beat four aces with that board.
00:20:44Show the cards!
00:20:46Show the cards!
00:20:47Show the cards!
00:20:48Show the cards!
00:20:49Show the cards!
00:20:50Show the cards!
00:20:51Show the cards!
00:20:57No way he has a two.
00:20:59That would be a one in a million chance.
00:21:22Please!
00:21:23I'm innocent!
00:21:24This is just an unfortunate misunderstanding.
00:21:26I don't know where that deck of cards came from.
00:21:28It's not even mine!
00:21:29You were caught cheating at Sin and Cypher Casino.
00:21:32A casino with a steep punishment for hustling.
00:21:36Please!
00:21:37Forgive me!
00:21:38I'm too young and pretty to die!
00:21:41Enough, Viviana.
00:21:42I have no need of seeing you dead.
00:21:44Your boutiques, on the other hand, do spark interest.
00:21:49Of course!
00:21:50They're yours!
00:21:51Anything you want, just don't kill me!
00:21:54Why would I do that?
00:21:56I have another use for you.
00:22:14Straight flush beats four aces.
00:22:17The pot is yours.
00:22:21Looks like I won.
00:22:24A straight flush against four aces.
00:22:27That's phantom ace luck.
00:22:31An unlikely victory!
00:22:34No!
00:22:35This man is a cheater, not a legend!
00:22:45Double or nothing.
00:22:47I have two more boutiques I can bet with.
00:22:53What are you doing?
00:22:54He could get lucky again.
00:22:56Remember, those stores aren't yours to lose.
00:22:58Be for real, Kelvin.
00:23:00I can feel it in my bones.
00:23:01He walked us into that hand.
00:23:03So what?
00:23:04You think Briar was right?
00:23:05No.
00:23:06Don't be stupid.
00:23:07The Phantom Ackle would never show his face.
00:23:10Then who is he?
00:23:12A hustler.
00:23:14And a damn good one.
00:23:19What do you say?
00:23:24All we have to do is prove he's cheating.
00:23:27All we have to do is prove he's cheating.
00:23:36Let me guess.
00:23:37Quit while you're ahead?
00:23:39Exactly.
00:23:40Gambling changes a person's brain chemistry.
00:23:44They think a win is right around the corner, so they bet anything.
00:23:50They bet anything and everything.
00:23:53If that's true, that means we'll have an easier time cleaning house.
00:23:59You're a clever girl, but that mentality will get you killed.
00:24:03A hustler is just a gambler who got tired of losing.
00:24:06You've rigged the game, but that only means the stakes are higher.
00:24:12Is that why you gave it up?
00:24:13Keep my girls safe!
00:24:17The Phantom Ace is over.
00:24:18Help me!
00:24:21Back off...
00:24:22Something like that.
00:24:28Nah, I'd rather not.
00:24:30I've taken enough of your assets for the day.
00:24:33You can't quit.
00:24:34Don't you know that's rude?
00:24:36Give a chance to win some back!
00:24:37What you win one impossible hand and run some phantom ace you are the real phantom ace never feared a
00:24:44table
00:24:50That's the number of employees that will be jobless if you liquidate my business. What will I tell them?
00:24:56You just bet the fates of another two stores worth of employees. I was desperate. Okay, at least let me
00:25:01buy it back
00:25:01I'll give you anything. I'll give you my body
00:25:08That's right. Give me the deed and my body is yours
00:25:15Did Vivian st. Clear just whore herself out like I said you have nothing left I want
00:25:24You're too good for me is that it he'll play you again
00:25:33If he doesn't we're through
00:25:37What are you doing? We got your money back. We're done here. We only have her money
00:25:41They both scammed me you're letting Kelvin off with barely a scratch if you don't do it. I will know
00:25:46Keep my girls safe
00:25:50Please
00:25:55I'll do it. I'll take the deal. I'll keep playing there. He is
00:25:59Briars masked miracle man careful Vivian keep saying it and you might start believing it nobody believes it then you've
00:26:07got nothing to worry about I
00:26:12Can't believe they were dumb enough to fall for my bait
00:26:23That was supposed to be an ace
00:26:26It's so hard to tell what's coming out next give me the card
00:26:30Hustlers perforate the edges of a golden set with the subtlest abnormalities
00:26:39Feel the bumps
00:26:41Feel the bumps
00:26:42Yeah, it's subtle those bumps are a language that one's a king
00:26:47And this one's an ace a good hustler learns to communicate on multiple levels
00:27:04The game begins anew
00:27:05Don't expect better luck this time
00:27:07You playing too or are you just here for moral support?
00:27:11I played last time
00:27:13Yeah, yeah, but you quietly folded right before things got hot
00:27:17Speaking of that why your first wife left the fuck you just say
00:27:23Guess the problem wasn't passion
00:27:26What the hell Viv let me at it
00:27:27He's trying to bait me to make a mistake. Let him think he's playing you. I'll sit back this time
00:27:31to keep an eye out
00:27:34Be careful what you wish for something tells me your luck has run out
00:27:57He spent this whole game just staring at his cards
00:28:04What's his secret?
00:28:23Does that mean they switched hands you're getting better at this? Thanks
00:28:28Professor what happens if they catch on to our strategy? They're hustlers. They're gonna realize they're being played
00:28:35They might but that's just when the fun begins
00:28:40She's been his eyes all along
00:28:43It's the girl. She's his eyes his work life
00:28:46She's been tapping his shoulder to feed him tips from where she's standing. I think she can see our cards
00:28:51But how does he come up with a winning hand every time?
00:28:54I'm not sure he's barely moved
00:28:55Could it be he's moving too fast to see with the naked eye only the phantom can pull something like
00:29:00this off. I'm telling you
00:29:02No
00:29:03Not the ace, but I think we're dealing with a master hustler shit, but the cards have to be on
00:29:08him, right?
00:29:08All we need to do now is force a search
00:29:18I'm
00:29:19Four million go ahead and try me
00:29:24Liam stone I'm on to you
00:29:36I'm out what about you still in
00:29:43What's the interest on taking out a loan to keep playing you can't?
00:29:49The casino owner wants people to enjoy themselves if you pay it off the same day it's zero interest and
00:29:56In 24 hours 25% and then 10% for every additional day the debt is outstanding
00:30:00Oh a very generous deal all right four million dollar loan
00:30:12He's definitely cheating he signed that contract without any hesitation at all either he's suicidal or he already knows the
00:30:20cards
00:30:20All right
00:30:22Time for the showdown
00:30:33Four of a kind
00:30:34Four of a kind thanks to Viviana swapping a card with me
00:30:37The odds of a player getting four of a kind are one in about 4,000 hands
00:30:41The chance of two players getting four of a kind round is one in 2.7 million if he beats
00:30:46this too
00:30:48No
00:30:49Not even the phantom acel could be that clean
00:30:55I've got it now
00:31:02Liam stone I accuse you of planting cards
00:31:06No one beats four of a kind twice without a plant
00:31:10Not you
00:31:11Not even the phantom acel
00:31:13All right punk
00:31:15Let's see how smug you look with only one hand
00:31:24I can do it myself creep
00:31:26You better the rules of the rusty cleaver casino state that anyone accused of cheating must be stripped of their
00:31:31clothes to confirm they're not hiding cards
00:31:33We'll get to the bottom of this
00:31:35If I find any evidence of cheating the culprit will lose a hand and the aggrieved will recoup all their
00:31:40losses for the day
00:31:41Your shirt please
00:32:03Wait where have I seen that tattoo before?
00:32:06Is he that little punk from 6 years ago?
00:32:13nothing in his shirt make sure he drops his trousers too i want to see everything he's
00:32:19hiding careful about hollow accusations vivian dealer what's the punishment for false claims
00:32:25the accuser must forfeit three fingers
00:32:32what
00:32:39he had nothing in his shirt if there's nothing in his pants i'm cooked wait why does he always
00:32:45hand his clothes to her first search his bitch too she's helping him hide his card what
00:33:05wait you can't search her why not something to hide i didn't even touch the table what do you
00:33:13think the lady doth protest too much oh i think she does
00:33:21in front of all these people cheating disputes are done out in the open for transparency's sake
00:33:27fuck your transparency what happened to that sweet little cry baby you were 10 seconds ago
00:33:33i'll make you cry baby failure to comply will be taken as admission
00:33:39fine fine i'll do it get off me
00:33:50come on everything off you two
00:33:53go ahead and give us a show let's see if our faux phantom ace has anything thing up his sleeve
00:33:59or under hers
00:34:25yeah yeah it's huge i know are we done here you want us to shed our skin too
00:34:30no evidence is found you're free to leave
00:34:37that was thorough and still nothing at a certain point doesn't luck start looking like skill
00:34:47don't flatter yourself
00:34:48why not you keep bringing up the phantom ace why can't i be him
00:34:52because the phantom ace was a ghost in a black mask you're a half-naked statistics professor with a rabbit
00:34:58tattoo
00:35:00and yet i'm the one leaving with your money
00:35:02you can't do this i need all my fingers please

00:35:21as they continued playing with my cards

00:39:01neither does she i'm sure
00:39:02join me at sin and cypher's vip lounge in two days time

00:39:20what is sin and cypher
00:39:24it's a casino that's even more strict on cheating than the last
00:39:28more strict than losing a hand
00:39:30what do they just shoot you
00:39:37the security in that place is harder to break than fort knock
00:39:41before you can get in
00:39:42they scan you from head to toe for oddity
00:39:47nothing gets past them
00:39:50oh
00:39:51and before we go any further
00:39:52don't mention i have anything to do with the phantom ace
00:39:55then stop winning like him
00:40:01we're gonna have to search you
00:40:09it's just a hearing aid
00:40:12i've had it since i was a child
00:40:17then if you do manage to sneak something past them
00:40:20every dealer in that joint uses a handcrafted custom set of cards totally unique to them
00:40:25making it impossible to replicate
00:40:33maybe for someone else
00:40:44that's good
00:40:48you're gonna need that confidence if you're gonna play for me at the table
00:40:52you want me to what
00:41:05see anything
00:41:06i'm not even sure what i'm looking for here
00:41:09if kelvin chose this place to cheat
00:41:11it means he has a mechanic
00:41:14mechanic
00:41:17hustling technique 13

00:54:00phantom ace my ass
00:54:01that's cheating
00:54:03how is that possible
00:54:05kelvin was supposed to get the full house
00:54:07unless
00:54:13that was supposed to be a king
00:54:16someone switched my cards
00:54:26how the fuck did liam win
00:54:28i thought i was paying you to be my fixer
00:54:31i'm just creating a false sense of security
00:54:33keep them guessing
00:54:34you better be telling the truth regina or it's curtains
00:54:36capi
00:54:41i can't tell kelvin or he'll kill me
00:54:43and i can't report it without exposing my own cheating
00:54:47in which case my bosses kill me
00:54:50i'm so fucked
00:54:53fuck you briar
00:54:54what what did i do
00:54:59so

00:55:09of course
00:55:14i think i'm getting the pattern that perforation means ace
00:55:17all i need to do is memorize the high cards
00:55:20and i can move this game back to kelvin's favor
00:55:28if i didn't know any better
00:55:29i'd think that look you're giving our dealer betrayals a partnership of some kind
00:55:36now you sound paranoid
00:55:3825 million
00:55:40get over yourself or put it all on the table
00:55:42all right
00:55:43all in
00:55:4450 million
00:55:46i got it from selling all of vivian's businesses
00:55:51i'm trusting you regina
00:55:56all right

00:56:23what are you doing
00:56:25you can't bet away your son's life
00:56:27i don't want to
00:56:30but if we don't win back everything we owe red mask
00:56:33me and my son are as good as dead anyway
00:56:38do you think he's bluffing
00:56:40he wouldn't really bet that would he
00:56:45hustling technique number 12 remember
00:56:49he's hoping a highly sentimental bet will throw us off our game
00:56:54well i guess it's successful i'm folding right away
00:56:57a true gambling addict will bet anything on the false notion that they're about to win
00:57:03once they get the itch they cannot help themselves
00:57:05you're not responsible for what he bets
00:57:14i can't believe i haven't noticed it before
00:57:16what's that
00:57:17how cold you can be
00:57:21i'm out
