00:07Maverick. 300 million in one night. Tell me how you did it. And maybe I let you live.
00:18Mr. Smith. This deck has 52 cards.
00:31Impressive. No wonder they call you the Hand of God. Can my brother and I leave now?
00:48Bastard! I said you could leave. Not how. What do you want? Your hands.
01:02Go!
01:15Maverick. Go. And promise me. No more gambling.
01:40These hands won every game. But lost what mattered most. No more cards. Ever.
01:52Luna! Have you lost your mind? Put the gun down! Luna!
01:56Just let me die, Maverick! I ruined everything! I destroyed this family! I don't deserve to live!
02:08I lost all our money. I'm sorry. I failed you and Amy.
02:14Luna, that's 200 grand.
02:17No!
02:20The minimum bet was only one dollar. I don't know how I lost that much.
02:24One dollar bets don't lose 200 grand overnight. Someone cheated.
02:29Look at me. Calm down. This isn't over yet. There's only one way out.
02:34What?
02:36I go back to the table.
02:41Maverick, please. Let's just leave. This place is hell. They'll destroy us.
02:46Relax, Luna. We're just here to take back what's ours.
03:02Full house! Beat that if you can!
03:30Looks like luck's on my side tonight. Four of a kind.
03:33I'll take it all.
03:42Well, well. The Hays couple. What is this? Lost your money, now your husband came to drive you home?
03:49We're not here for a cab ride, Maverick. If you're not gambling, get out.
03:53My wife lost 200 grand last night. I'm here to win it back.
03:57What happens in a casino can always be won back. Wanna play?
04:09Another idiot.
04:12What are we playing?
04:15Texas Hold'em. Don't tell me you've never played before.
04:20I've heard of it. Never really learned.
04:23Two whole cards, five community cards, best hand wins. Ask Luna. She learned real fast last night.
04:29Maverick, please stop. Let's go home. I was wrong.
04:32Shut up! You lost 200 grand! How else do I pay rent?
04:35But...
04:36Get off me! Stop screwing this up, bitch!
04:39No need to be rude.
04:41If Maverick wants to play, let him.
04:44Minimum bet's only one dollar.
04:47Enough talking. Deal.
04:51One dollar bets took 200 grand from her?
04:54Let's see how these parasites did.
05:01Boring. Fold.
05:03For Mr. Hayes' first game, I'll call.
05:07Is he pretending? Or really this stupid?
05:11Your turn, Maverick. Showdown.
05:15As you wish.
05:25Wow. Looks like luck really likes you tonight. You win.
05:34I won? That easy?
05:3780 bucks. Only 199,920 left.
05:45What an idiot.
05:47He really thinks one dollar bets can win back 200 grand?
05:50You're on a streak, Maverick.
05:52If you win big tonight, buy me a drink.
05:57Deal.
05:58As long as I keep winning, deal again.
06:04Keep going, idiot.
06:05I'll leave you broke down to your underwear.
06:20Mr. Hayes, you're a machine.
06:24Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, talent. See that, Luna? I'm already up three grand.
06:30At this speed, we'll be here till next year. Why not make it more exciting?
06:34How?
06:36Raise the stakes.
06:38One hundred minimum.
06:40You in?
06:42No! Maverick, stop!
06:44This is exactly how I lost everything!
06:48Please, leave with the three grand.
06:51Come on, Luna.
06:53How else are you paying back 200 grand?
06:56Or what?
06:57Your husband needs your permission?
07:01Actually, Maverick Pierce?
07:05Forget it, Nova.
07:07A hundred bucks is probably his whole day's pay.
07:15Fine! A hundred it is!
07:20Are you insane? You'll ruin us!
07:22Shut up! You already ruined us!
07:25Don't tell me what to do!
07:27Say one more word, and I'll shut you up myself!
07:35Deal!
07:38Sit down!
07:40Who said you could leave? I haven't got my money back yet!
07:44Deal!
07:51Win means lose. Maverick, you'll die to me.
07:55Wait. Mr. Hayes seems lucky tonight.
07:59Mind if I shuffle?
08:01I don't mind.
08:02What about you, Maverick?
08:09Do whatever you want.
08:10Just hurry up!
08:18Cute trick.
08:20Stacking cards into your own hand?
08:22That's amateur hour.
08:34Four aces. Let me guess, he dealt himself a straight flush.
08:41It feels like a good hand. I'm in.
08:45Trash hand. Fold.
08:47Four of a kind? And he folded? What is he doing?
08:55What the hell? He clearly had.
08:58Damn it. I dealt him quads. Did I mess up the shuffle?
09:03Boring. Fold.
09:07My foot. Thanks.
09:14Fold. Fold. Fold. Fold. Fold.
09:20Fold. Fold. Fold.
09:23What now, Maverick?
09:25You folding every hand? How are you supposed to win?
09:29Your shuffle sucks, Kai.
09:32Ever since you touched the deck, I haven't seen a decent card.
09:35Dealer shuffles next hand. Hands off.
09:39Fine.
09:42Maverick.
09:43Maverick. Small blind. Your bet.
09:51500. Feels like luck is back.
09:55Didn't even look at your cards? Already feeling lucky?
09:59That's instinct. I can feel it right here.
10:02Luck's got my name on it tonight.
10:05Then let's go bigger. Call. 1000.
10:09Call.
10:12Nova gets me.
10:14As long as you smile at me, I'll match any bet.
10:17Not just at this table.
10:23Honey, isn't this enough?
10:25We can survive on 3000 for now. Let's go home.
10:28Get lost! We're nowhere near 200 grand.
10:31But...
10:32Shut up! I'm here to win big.
10:34Try killing my mood again and you'll regret it.
10:37Look at him. Another one losing his mind.
10:42Buddy, calm down. This place eats people a lot.
10:45Who asked you? Mind your business.
10:47Call. 1500.
10:51He folds good hands, then starts betting blind like a maniac.
10:55What's his game? Was that last win really just dumb luck?
10:59Call.
11:01Kai? Too scared?
11:05Crazy bastard.
11:07Fold.
11:13Now it's just us, Maverick.
11:15Call. 1000.
11:17Maybe after this, we can play somewhere less public.
11:22That depends on how well you perform tonight.
11:25Call. 1000.
11:32No full house.
11:34No straight.
11:35Show me your cards, genius.
11:39Ten.
11:40Seven.
11:43Are you kidding me?
11:44You bet all that on garbage?
11:47What can I say?
11:49I like taking risks.
11:53If I clean him out now, he might run.
11:55Better let him stay hooked a little longer.
11:59You win.
12:01I won?
12:02Hell yeah!
12:04Told you!
12:05I'm unstoppable tonight!
12:07Looks like luck really is kissing you tonight, Mr. Hayes.
12:13Funking again!
12:14I'm taking back my money and every dollar in this place!
12:22Idiot.
12:24Next hand ends you.
12:30These old sharks see everything.
12:33How do you switch cards without getting caught?
12:37Speed is amateur stuff.
12:39Real pros win with disguise.
12:42Disguise?
12:45Act like a lunator.
12:46Once they think you've lost your mind, every move looks meaningless.
12:52Luna!
12:53Did you see that?
12:54I won with high card!
12:56Luck is on my side tonight!
12:58I'm winning back every cent!
13:03Deal.
13:04Come on, hurry up.
13:06Tonight, I'm bankrupting all of you.
13:08Idiot.
13:09The hook's already in deep.
13:15Maverick, with luck like that, aren't these tiny bets kind of boring?
13:19What are you suggesting?
13:22Kai just wants you to win bigger.
13:25Kai just wants you to win bigger.
13:25How about we raise the minimum to 1,000?
13:28You in?
13:30Come on, Nova.
13:31Don't pressure him.
13:33He probably doesn't make that in a month.
13:371,000?
13:391,000?
13:39Fine!
13:40Anyone scared is a coward!
13:44No!
13:46Maverick!
13:47It's a trap!
13:49Don't do this!
13:52Shut up, bitch!
13:54Maybe stay quiet, Luna.
13:56Your husband clearly knows what he's doing.
14:10Borrowing some luck.
14:11You don't mind, right?
14:14Palming cards?
14:15That trick's 20 years outdated.
14:18Take all you want.
14:19I've got plenty.
14:24Bet.
14:251,000.
14:28Call.
14:29Call.
14:30Call.
14:302,000.
14:31Call!
14:322,000!
14:34Honey!
14:35Please!
14:36Stop!
14:38This is exactly how I lost 200 grand again.
14:41It's happening all over again.
14:45Straight flush ready?
14:47Done.
14:49He's dead.
14:56Fold now if you know what's good for you.
14:58Unless you want to leave here broke.
15:00Idiot.
15:01Talking big without even checking your cards?
15:03Let's see how I ruin you.
15:05Raise.
15:064,000.
15:07Call.
15:084,000.
15:10These people are insane!
15:12A one dollar blind and the pot's over 10 grand?
15:19Maverick, are you going to call or go home to cry with your wife?
15:24Call!
15:25I'm all in tonight!
15:27Please!
15:28Let's go home!
15:30Get off me!
15:31I'm about to win!
15:33Got him.
15:33He's completely hooked.
15:35You think I'm the fish?
15:37Cute.
15:40Raise!
15:4110,000!
15:4310 grand?
15:44Last I checked, your wife already lost your last dollar.
15:48Where'd you get that money?
15:52This card has 200 grand on it.
15:54What?
15:58Where did that come from?
15:59I mortgaged mom's house.
16:01Borrowed 200 grand.
16:03Maverick, are you insane?
16:05Cash me out!
16:06200 grand in chips, now!
16:13200 grand.
16:15One bite and this family is finished.
16:23Raise.
16:2410,000.
16:26Call.
16:38Looks like that river card wasn't kind to you.
16:41Funny.
16:41I haven't even looked yet.
16:43You seem pretty confident.
16:44Lose to you?
16:45Wouldn't be the worst thing.
16:48All in.
16:4919 grand.
16:50Match it if you've got the guts.
16:57No way!
16:58He went all in blind?
17:00Four times the pot?
17:02His wife lost 200 grand yesterday.
17:04He's just trying to prove something.
17:12All in!
17:13200 grand!
17:15It's over.
17:16We're done.
17:18Maverick, betting like that, aren't you scared of losing everything?
17:22Told ya.
17:24Luck's got my name on it tonight.
17:30Fine.
17:31I fold.
17:34All in.
17:3519 grand.
17:37Trust me, Mr. Hayes.
17:38This will be the most unforgettable night of your life.
17:44Oh, I believe that.
17:46Disgusting pig.
17:48Good thing this ends tonight.
17:52Go ahead, Maverick.
17:55Let's see what you've got.
17:58Sure.
18:00Watch closely.
18:17This is impossible.
18:26Holy crap.
18:28He hit a full house blind?
18:30Maybe luck really is on his side tonight.
18:34Nice hand, Mr. Hayes.
18:38You did it!
18:39I knew you could!
18:44I knew you could!
18:45Nova hasn't shown yet.
18:55Full house is cute.
18:58But I have a royal...
19:00flush.
19:07You lose, Mr. Hayes.
19:09Maybe go see if anyone needs a ride home.
19:13Could earn some diaper money.
19:22What?
19:23How is that possible?
19:27Can you stop embarrassing yourself?
19:31This was...
19:33This was...
19:34Obviously...
19:39What?!
19:42How did this happen?!
19:57We won!
19:58We won!
19:59We actually won!
20:05Straight's nice.
20:07But I have a full house.
20:09But I have a full house.
20:11I win.
20:12I have a full house.
20:22No!
20:22That's impossible!
20:26Hey, Nova.
20:26People win, people lose
20:30Now my wife and I are leaving
20:33My switch was flawless
20:36Only one explanation
20:38He cheated too

32:10A few grand is enough. Yesterday Mr. Maverick walked out with 400 grand.

33:57Come on. I'm not heartless. I'll leave you two bucks for the bus ride home.
34:02Very good.
34:02Asher, you once told me, if kindness, if kindness earns no respect, then answer cruelty with something worse.
34:11With something worse.
34:12Today, I'll show them despair.
34:16Ah, Mr. Hayes is mad now?
34:23Weren't you killing it yesterday?
34:26Come on, keep winning.
34:28Come on, keep winning.
