00:00:05Welcome to High Card Hustle.
00:00:08I'm rich! I won! I actually won!
00:00:12No! No! Please don't take my hand!
00:00:19My 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!
00:00:59Wait! 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.
00:01:13Someone was mixing them into the deck.
00:01:15The 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.
00:01:34Unless he thinks he's the Phantom Ace.
00:01:36Is he the Phantom Ace 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.
00:01:56Let'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.
00:02:20Oh!
00:02:23Oh!
00:02:26Oh!
00:02:26Oh!
00:02:27Oh!
00:02:28Oh!
00:02:28Oh!
00:02:29Oh!
00:02:30Oh!
00:02:30Oh!
00:02:31Oh!
00:02:32Oh!
00:02:35Satisfied?
00:02:37Pants, too!
00:02:39Hold it.
00:02:41I found something.
00:02:47Listen!
00:02:48I'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?
00:03:01Everyone out!
00:03:08Keep my girls safe!
00:03:12Keep my girls safe!
00:03:15Elder!
00:03:23That night still haunts me. Even after all this time, I don't know who Alden wanted me to keep safe.
00:03:35I'm coming. I'm coming!
00:03:40I'm coming!
00:03:50Professor Stone, I need your help.
00:03:55You need... you need a minute, or...
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. My 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. What does that tell you?
00:04:34It tells me you tried to hustle and got hustled.
00:04:37I know that casino. Be grateful you still have two hands.
00:04:42Listen, Miss...
00:04:42Briar.
00:04:44These people stole all the money my father left me when he died and now the mob is hounding me
00:04:48for 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.
00:05:12Who told you I'm the best?
00:05:15My father.
00:05:17Your father?
00:05:19Was Alden?
00:05:22Keep my girls safe!
00:05:25Keep my girls safe!
00:05:29Alden!
00:05:32Yes.
00:05:33I'm Alden's little girl.
00:05:35Or I was.
00:05:39So...
00:05:39You'll help me?
00:05:45This is the place where Professor Alden died.
00:05:48Where I buried the worst night of my life.
00:05:50And the thing I swore I'd never use again.
00:05:58You ready to take this place down?
00:06:02More than you know.

00:22:31An unlikely victory
00:22:33No!
00:22:36This 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?
00:22:55He 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, don't be stupid
00:23:07The phantom acle 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
00:23:36Let 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
00:23:46So 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?
00:24:14Keep my girls safe!
00:24:18Elden!
00:24:21Something like that
00:24:28Nah, I'd rather not
00:24:30I've taken enough of your assets for the day
00:24:32You can't quit!
00:24:34Don't you know that's rude?
00:24:36Give a chance to win some back!
00:24:38What, you win one impossible hand and run?
00:24:40Some phantom ace you are
00:24:42The real phantom ace never feared a table
00:24:49Sixteen!
00:24:51That's the number of employees that will be jobless if you liquidate my business
00:24:54What will I tell them?
00:24:56You just bet the fates of another two stores worth of employees
00:24:58I was desperate, okay?
00:25:00At least let me buy it back
00:25:01I'll give you anything
00:25:03I'll give you my body!
00:25:09That's right
00:25:09Give me the deed
00:25:11And my body is yours
00:25:15Did Vivian St.Clear just whore herself out?
00:25:19Like I said
00:25:20You have nothing left I want
00:25:24You're too good for me, is that it?
00:25:27He'll play you again!
00:25:33If he doesn't, we're through
00:25:37What are you doing?
00:25:38We got your money back, we're done here
00:25:39We only have her money
00:25:41They both scammed me
00:25:42You're letting Kelvin off with barely a scratch
00:25:44If you don't do it, I will!
00:25:46No!
00:25:47Keep my girls safe!
00:25:49Elder!
00:25:51Please!
00:25:55I'll do it
00:25:56I'll take the deal
00:25:57I'll keep playing
00:25:58There he is
00:25:59Briar's masked miracle man
00:26:02Careful, Vivian
00:26:03Keep saying it and you might start believing it
00:26:05Nobody believes it
00:26:06Then you've got nothing to worry about
00:26:08Then you've got nothing to worry about
00:26:09Then you've got nothing to worry about
00:26:12I can't believe they were dumb enough to fall for my bait
00:26:23shit that was supposed to be an ace it's so hard to tell what's coming out next
00:26:29give me the card hustlers perforate the edges of a golden set with the subtlest abnormalities
00:26:39feel the bumps yeah it's subtle those bumps are a language that one's a king
00:26:48and this one's an ace a good hustler learns to communicate on multiple levels
00:27:04the game begins anew don't expect better luck this time you playing too or are you just here for
00:27:10moral support i played last time yeah yeah but you quietly folded right before things got hot
00:27:16speaking of that why your first wife left the fuck you just say
00:27:23guess the problem wasn't passion what the hell viv let me at him he's trying to bait me to make
00:27:29a mistake let him think he's playing you i'll sit back this time to keep an eye 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 professor what happens
00:28:30if 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 wife she's been tapping his shoulder to feed him tips
00:28:49from 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
00:28:53i'm not sure he's barely moved could it be he's moving too fast to see with the naked eye
00:28:58only the phantom can pull something like this off i'm telling you
00:29:02no
00:29:03not the ace but i think we're dealing with a master hustler
00:29:06shit but the cards have to be on him right all we need to do now is force a search
00:29:18four million go ahead and try
00:29:24liam stone i'm on to you
00:29:37i'm out
00:29:38what about you still in
00:29:43what's the interest on taking out a loan to keep playing
00:29:46you can't
00:29:49the casino owner wants people to enjoy themselves
00:29:52if you pay it off the same day it's zero interest
00:29:55and in 24 hours
00:29:5725 percent and then 10 percent 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
00:30:17either he's suicidal or he already knows the cards
00:30:20all right time for the showdown
00:30:33four of a kind thanks to biliana swapping a card with me
00:30:37the odds of a player getting four of a kind are one in about four thousand hands
00:30:42the chance of two players getting four of a kind round is one in 2.7 million
00:30:46if he beats this too no not even the phantom acel could be that clean
00:30:55i've got it now
00:31:00cheater

00:34:32You're free to leave.
00:34:38That was thorough, and still nothing.
00:34:40At a certain point, doesn't luck start looking like skill?
00:34:47Don't flatter yourself.
00:34:49Why not?
00:34:50You keep bringing up the Phantom Ace.
00:34:52Why can't I be him?
00:34:53Because the Phantom Ace was a ghost in a black mask.
00:34:55You're a half-naked statistics professor with a rabbit tattoo.
00:35:00And yet, I'm the one leaving with your money.
00:35:03You can't do this!
00:35:04I need all my fingers!
00:35:05Please!
00:35:12Most of my cards were already gone after the last round.
00:35:15The rest I hid right under their nose,
00:35:17bouncing their cards into the brass run-out rail beneath the lip of the table
00:35:21as they continued playing with my cards.
00:35:23None the wiser.
00:35:31Until the only cheat cards I had left on me
00:35:35were in my hand.
00:35:38I don't know how you did it,
00:35:39but I'm gonna prove you're cheating, scum!
00:35:42You're dead meat!
00:35:44Do you want to find evidence of cheating?
00:35:48Check their side of the table.
00:35:51What?
00:35:59Shit!
00:36:00Shit!
00:36:00We're getting our hands cut off for sure!
00:36:18You did it.
00:36:19Perfect throw.
00:36:21You're ready now.
00:36:22Tomorrow we get your revenge.
00:36:27What if they get caught cheating?
00:36:29You feeling bad for the people who robbed you?
00:36:34Heldon!
00:36:35Heldon!
00:36:37Heldon!
00:36:38Heldon!
00:36:42Sometimes when a person gets the itch bad enough,
00:36:45pain is the only wake-up call.
00:36:47The itch?
00:36:48To keep hustling.
00:36:50Keep winning.
00:36:51You stop thinking about the cost
00:36:53until it's right in front of you.
00:36:55By then, it's too late.
00:37:02Please!
00:37:03Stop!
00:37:04Please!
00:37:05Please!
00:37:06I'll do anything!
00:37:07You assholes!
00:37:09Unhand me!
00:37:11Oof.
00:37:11Very poor choice of words.
00:37:19Oh god.
00:37:21No.
00:37:22I used that hand.
00:37:27Stop.
00:37:34This casino is the property of Red Mask.
00:37:36I am Red Mask's most trusted associate.
00:37:39Those two are with me.
00:37:58To sweet revenge.
00:38:00To being filthy rich.
00:38:07What?
00:38:08What are you looking at?
00:38:10Mistletoe.
00:38:12What?
00:38:13There's no...
00:38:18Heldon!
00:38:23I'm sorry, Liam.
00:38:25I...
00:38:27No.
00:38:28It's okay.
00:38:30I just can't.
00:38:31We can't.
00:38:32But...
00:38:33Why?
00:38:34It's not like I'm actually your student.
00:38:37But...
00:38:41That old thing still works?
00:38:44It's not supposed to.
00:38:46Who is this?
00:38:48I thought you looked familiar.
00:38:49You're not the Phantom Ace.
00:38:52But when I saw that tattoo,
00:38:53I knew exactly which coward you were!
00:38:56I know what you did.
00:38:58I know what you did.
00:38:59Haven't the foggiest what you're talking about.
00:39:01Neither does she, I'm sure.
00:39:03Join me at Sin and Cypher's VIP lounge in two days' time.
00:39:06We'll see which one of us is the better hustler.
00:39:09Otherwise, I tell your precious fiancée that you got her daddy killed.
00:39:20What is Sin and Cypher?
00:39:29What is Sin and Cypher?
00:39:42Before you can get in,
00:39:43they 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,
00:39:53don't mention I have anything to do with the Phantom Ace.
00:39:56Then stop winning like him.
00:40:01We're gonna have to search you.
00:40:10It'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
00:40:24totally unique to them making it impossible to replicate.
00:40:33Maybe for someone else.
00:40:43That'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?
00:40:54Oh, fuck yeah!
00:41:06See anything?
00:41:07I'm not even sure what I'm looking for here.
00:41:10If Kelvin chose this place to cheat,
00:41:12it means he has a mechanic.
00:41:15Mechanic?
00:41:17Hustling Technique 13.
00:41:29You don't need to cheat if someone else fixes your cards.
00:41:33Just watch that VIP door and tell me where else the dealer goes.
00:41:46I think I've spotted her.
00:41:48Remember, observe your mark.
00:41:51Her name is Regina.
00:41:52Nervous energy with more cats than she knows what to do with.
00:41:55Got a few scars that suggest she's coping with a serious drug problem.
00:41:59Not that she'd ever tell you about it.
00:42:00She's terrible at parties.
00:42:02Phenomenal in the bedroom.
00:42:03You got all that from a glance?
00:42:05Not exactly.
00:42:06She's my ex.
00:42:09Your what?
00:42:14Relax.
00:42:15It was a long time ago and it was mostly just sex.
00:42:17Mostly?
00:42:22Regina!
00:42:23Hi!
00:42:24So weird bumping into you here.
00:42:26You look...
00:42:27amazing.
00:42:28What are you doing?
00:42:29If she's your ex, you should steer clear.
00:42:36Briar.
00:42:37What are you doing here?
00:42:39Same reason anyone else is here.
00:42:41Money, money, money!
00:42:42I saw you and thought, oops, awkward.
00:42:44I figured I'd just, um, break the ice?
00:42:46Yeah, um, I gotta go.
00:42:51I take it it wasn't a clean break?
00:42:52Something like that.
00:42:55Heads up, she's beelining to the Bladtrick table.
00:42:59You might have to take this.
00:43:01Uh, that wasn't the plan.
00:43:03You have to play at her table.
00:43:05It's her cards that we have to copy.
00:43:07You're a human camera.
00:43:09You can't make me hustle my ex!
00:43:11Shh, not so loud.
00:43:13Someone might hear you.
00:43:14No one's around!
00:43:27Magnify five.
00:43:28And play about the last ten seconds, please.
00:43:31That wasn't the plan.
00:43:34You're a human camera.
00:43:35Who is he talking to?
00:43:38Oh shit.
00:43:40I think he has an earpiece.
00:43:42Find out who's on the other end and bring them both to me.
00:43:53You think because we dated, I'm gonna help you?
00:43:56No.
00:43:57Of course not.
00:43:58I'm just here to play.
00:44:00Can't I just play?
00:44:04Sure.
00:44:10Remember, you don't need to win.
00:44:12You just need to stay there long enough to memorize what each card looks like.
00:44:19Are you kidding?
00:44:20This is Blackjack.
00:44:22Remember what I told you when we first met?
00:44:24It's what I'm best at.
00:44:36Hit me.
00:44:49Someone's having a lucky day.
00:44:54Don't be so obvious.
00:44:56It's not the other players or even the dealer that you're trying to beat here.
00:45:02It's the Enforcers.
00:45:06Remember, Sin and Cypher doesn't play around.
00:45:10It's not their hand they're after if they catch you.
00:45:17Here, they come for your throat.
00:45:21Excuse me.
00:45:23Who are you talking to?
00:45:30Talking to someone?
00:45:32No.
00:45:34I was...
00:45:34I just mumble to myself sometimes.
00:45:36I'm sorry, who are you?
00:45:38Damien Drainheart.
00:45:39The other bartender had to run.
00:45:41I'm taking over his shift.
00:45:44I just need a few more cards to show up at the table and I'll have every design in Regina's
00:45:49deck.
00:45:50Hit me.
00:45:50Do you have to keep saying it like that?
00:45:53Like what?
00:45:54Hit me.
00:45:57He's claiming to be a bartender.
00:45:59The notebook and pen seem consistent with that.
00:46:01But something's off.
00:46:03Why does he have a house receiver?
00:46:04Is that gunpowder under his fingernails?
00:46:08He's an enforcer.
00:46:09I'm a hustler's worst nightmare.
00:46:12Come on, Briar.
00:46:13Hurry it up.
00:46:18What's wrong with saying, hit me?
00:46:20Used to say that when we made love.
00:46:26Jesus, Regina.
00:46:27It was two weeks, freshman year.
00:46:41What the fuck?
00:46:43Briar.
00:46:45Get out of there now!
00:46:49Stay right where you are.
00:46:51You.
00:46:52Let me see your ear.
00:46:53Excuse me?
00:47:02What the hell is this?
00:47:04That's my hearing aid, asshole!
00:47:07Hello?
00:47:12I'm reporting this place on Yelp!
00:47:16You're gonna go?
00:47:18Just like that?
00:47:21We don't work, Regina.
00:47:22Fix your drug problem!
00:47:28I told you the decoy was a good idea.
00:47:32You'll make a master hustler yet.
00:47:45Nice tip, bitch.
00:47:49Nice tip, bitch.
00:47:57Not so fast.
00:47:59You want some candy?
00:48:00You're gonna help us win tomorrow.
00:48:24Good work out there, Master Hustler.
00:48:25You've come a long way.
00:48:29If I didn't know any better, I'd think you're the phantom ace.
00:48:37Thanks.
00:48:37We make a great team.
00:48:45I think we should probably call it a night.
00:48:48I have some tests to grade for next week.
00:48:50Don't we still have to plan tomorrow's hustle?
00:48:52We can do that in the morning.
00:48:59Why are you so afraid that I might get close to you?
00:49:15Alden.
00:49:19My dad?
00:49:20Before he died, he made me to protect you.
00:49:22We're not a...
00:49:22I want to, but...
00:49:23Liam.
00:49:24It's okay.
00:49:25I want this.
00:49:27I made a promise to take care of you.
00:49:30I'm sorry.
00:49:31You should go.
00:49:40I'm not some fragile little girl.
00:49:42We are both adults.
00:49:43I make my own choices, and the risks I take are mine.
00:49:45Got it?
00:49:46Raya, I ordered you to go.
00:49:50Thing is, Teach, I was never too good at school.
00:49:53For whatever reason, I had trouble following directions.
00:49:55I am way better at giving them.
00:49:57I shouldn't.
00:49:59I can't.
00:50:00But, oh God, I want this so bad.
00:50:06Clear the desk.
00:50:16Pants off.
00:50:17Now.
00:50:19Yes, ma'am.
00:50:28We will do better this time.

00:50:31Shut up!
00:50:31Shut up!
00:50:37You better.
00:50:39This isn't negotiable.
00:50:41If you don't, someone is going to pull the plug on your son's health insurance policy.
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:56Did I tire you out?
00:50:59You have a surprising amount of energy for an older guy.
00:51:05What's the plan for today?
00:51:06Aside from planting the deck.
00:51:08I find that I overcrowded.
00:51:21I fell on my own.

01:17:27in jeremy's coma and he has no living relatives that agreed to take him in
01:17:30so he's got nowhere to go
