00:00:00What are you gambling?
00:00:02Gambling seems fair.
00:00:04Deceptively so.
00:00:07Ready for Disneyland!
00:00:08Look at this!
00:00:10Go!
00:00:11Back in the car!
00:00:14The moment you take a seat,
00:00:16you've already lost.
00:00:18Listen.
00:00:19You'll never gamble like me.
00:00:21Promise me. No one
00:00:23can win forever.
00:00:24Wake up, worm.
00:00:30Not sure why
00:00:32Claudia brought your lazy ass back.
00:00:34Sort all these chips.
00:00:36Use cards. Stop
00:00:37wasting fresh ducks.
00:00:44We're back tonight.
00:00:46We're trying to start game here.
00:00:48Move! Quickly!
00:01:11This fucker messing me around with a brand new deck.
00:01:15Didn't he?
00:01:18We have a winner here.
00:01:20Yes!
00:01:23Woo!
00:01:24Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:01:27Let's go again.
00:01:29Hey, big guy, let's go.
00:01:30Let's go.
00:01:31I'm feeling lucky.
00:01:32Forgive me, Dad. I broke my promise.
00:01:35I'll find out who killed you,
00:01:36and I won't let him get away with it.
00:01:49Good job, baby!
00:01:50Good job, baby!
00:01:50Woo!
00:01:51Come here.
00:01:52Oh my god, we did it.
00:01:53We did it again.
00:01:54That's more jewelry for you,
00:01:56and another holiday.
00:01:57Okay!
00:01:58Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:02:03First layer of gambling.
00:02:04Speed.
00:02:06Like martial arts wisdom,
00:02:08speed alone defies defeat.
00:02:10Yes!
00:02:11Oh yeah!
00:02:12I love to win!
00:02:20Claudia, your champagne's here.
00:02:31Surprise!
00:02:33Guess who it is?
00:02:33It's Flash, baby!
00:02:35I'm currently crushing it right now in your casino,
00:02:38which, by the way,
00:02:39I'm planning to take over.
00:02:41Unless, of course,
00:02:42you take me up on my offer to be my
00:02:44one and only baby doll.
00:02:46You decide, sweetheart.
00:02:50Call everybody in.
00:02:51I think we are in big trouble.
00:03:00Not sure if today is a blessing or a curse.
00:03:04Get lost!
00:03:05You are not near here.
00:03:07What bothers you so much, boss?
00:03:08Flash is here at our casino.
00:03:11Is this man, Flash?
00:03:14The Flash?
00:03:15The world speed-cubing champion.
00:03:17The man with lightning-fast hands.
00:03:19Woo!
00:03:20He's taken over four casinos in a row this month,
00:03:22and now he's come to ours.
00:03:28It might be the end for us today, but you guys have worked for me for a really long time.
00:03:35This is the least I can do.
00:03:36Take it easy, boss.
00:03:39Although Flash is one of the best gamblers on the West Coast,
00:03:43we ain't nobody.
00:03:45I promise I'll take care of this punk.
00:03:48This isn't a street fight, Jason.
00:03:50They call him Flash because his hands move faster than the ice can track.
00:03:53He's gonna clean us out.
00:03:56Please, take the money.
00:03:57If this is the end for us today, at least you guys will still have a living.
00:04:01I have to help Claudia.
00:04:09Oh, thank you.
00:04:11Congratulations, sir.
00:04:12There we go, ladies.
00:04:15You're welcome.
00:04:17Would you like to play something else?
00:04:21I'm so bored!
00:04:23Alright!
00:04:24Warm-up's over!
00:04:25Bring out your boss now!
00:04:38Flash.
00:04:39I see subtlety isn't your strong suit.
00:04:42Claudia.
00:04:44Nice to finally meet you.
00:04:46Even more beautiful in person.
00:04:49Nice place you have here.
00:04:51It's cozy.
00:04:52Profitable.
00:04:53I like it.
00:04:55I'm glad to hear.
00:04:57I understand you want to play a high-stakes game with me.
00:05:01How much money, exactly, have you bought?
00:05:12Oh, just to be crystal clear, I want to win every single cent in your casino and shut you down.
00:05:20Come on.
00:05:26If you win all of the money in this house, the casino is yours.
00:05:32If you lose, you get the hell out of here and you tell your hyena's boss to leave the paradise
00:05:40alone.
00:05:44Deal.
00:05:47Let's gamble.
00:05:50Deal.
00:06:03Let's gamble.
00:06:11Deal.
00:06:17Well, hit or stand?
00:06:20I reckon I could probably beat you with these.
00:06:24Stand.
00:06:26That's all you got?
00:06:27What happened with the famous Flash?
00:06:30More like a scary little boy playing with daddy's money.
00:06:34Worm probably plays better than you.
00:06:38Patience, big guy.
00:06:40What you got?
00:06:53Patience, big guy.
00:06:54What you got?
00:07:01You're the dealer, remember?
00:07:02You know the rules.
00:07:04If it's less than 16, you gotta take another hit.
00:07:06Go on.
00:07:11Five, nine, nine.
00:07:14Five, nine.
00:07:15gig, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, a...
00:07:25god damn it.
00:07:28Looks like it's my lucky day!
00:07:30Keep those cards coming, big guy.
00:07:32You've got great things to us for a look.
00:08:00J-Suck, J-Suck, J-Suck, J-Suck.
00:08:05J-Suck, J-Suck, J-Suck, J-Suck.
00:08:08Jason's no match for this guy.
00:08:10I have to help Claudia.
00:08:12I had enough.
00:08:13I'm old.
00:08:14I don't believe you can always beat me with luck.
00:08:18OK.
00:08:59This is bullshit, you are cheating!
00:09:08That's a very serious accusation right there.
00:09:12Can you prove it?
00:09:15Feel free to search me at your own discretion, but when you can't find anything, I expect
00:09:22you to leave your hand, and then I'll forgive you!
00:09:33You see, just because, and if the house loses it all to me, who's going to be able to check
00:09:41out your chips?
00:09:42Unless, unless you grant me authorization to start running the Paradise Casino tonight.
00:09:56Or, you could say goodbye for one last night, providing that you're a good girl and you
00:10:02do what I say.
00:10:04You're way out of flying!
00:10:06Shut the fuck up, Jason!
00:10:09Haven't you ever gambled before?
00:10:11All for the winner, remember?
00:10:13That's what gambling's about, right?
00:10:17But of course, darling, I'll give you five minutes so you make the right choice.
00:10:22In the meantime, I'll enjoy a lovely drink.
00:10:26Waiter!
00:10:27A drop of your finest whiskey, please!
00:10:33Your drinks.
00:10:38You clumsy little...
00:10:42I'm so sorry.
00:10:45Who are you?
00:10:45Who are you?
00:10:46Oh, nobody.
00:10:47A bartender here.
00:10:50Let me tell you who I am.
00:10:53I'm the guy who runs this establishment now.
00:10:55As part of my first order of business, I'm going to kick you out there onto the street
00:11:00after I teach you some manners!
00:11:01Let me handle this.
00:11:03He's not worth your time.
00:11:04I will take care of you, Cole.
00:11:06I don't think you are, though.
00:11:08You said every cent of the house is money, right?
00:11:11I have $100 of the house's money.
00:11:14So, technically, you're not finished yet, are you?
00:11:18Now, your opponent's me.
00:11:27Your opponent's me.
00:11:34Claudia, your bartender's insane.
00:11:37Doctor?
00:11:38Any doctors in the house?
00:11:40Texas Hold'em.
00:11:42Heads up.
00:11:43One round.
00:11:44You're no match for me.
00:11:46You're a kid!
00:11:47Can you imagine?
00:11:48That's bullying.
00:11:49What would I say?
00:11:51I'd feel ashamed if people found out.
00:11:53But you have to keep your promise.
00:11:55$100 of the house's money.
00:11:57Right here.
00:11:57What are you gonna do?
00:12:00That $100 to get $500,000 back?
00:12:07That's a good one!
00:12:09That bet's $100...
00:12:14...and my life.
00:12:15No!
00:12:16This is not your war to fight!
00:12:18If you win, my life's yours.
00:12:21If I win, you leave Claudia in paradise alone.
00:12:23Are you out of your mind?
00:12:25Listen to me!
00:12:26This is not some back alley game!
00:12:28You saw what he did to Jason!
00:12:29Back off!
00:12:31No!
00:12:37Your life is of no interest to me, kid.
00:12:40It's literally worthless.
00:12:43But what you can do is talk to Claudia about my idea.
00:12:47And maybe then I'll reconsider a few things.
00:12:51I see.
00:12:53That fucker is helping him!
00:12:56Setting a trap for Claudia!
00:12:58Explain yourself, Warren.
00:13:00What do you want?
00:13:03Cut the crap!
00:13:04Okay.
00:13:06Are you in?
00:13:15Fine.
00:13:16I'm in.
00:13:17But just remember...
00:13:20I'll take great pleasure in seeing Claudia pay top price to bail you out.
00:13:28Don't let him trick you, Claudia.
00:13:32Jason is right.
00:13:33Don't trust Worm.
00:13:35Trust me.
00:13:40Okay.
00:13:42I'm counting on you, Ethan.
00:13:44Bring me a deck!
00:13:46A new deck!
00:13:56Wait.
00:13:58I'd like to shuffle.
00:14:03You got balls, kid.
00:14:05I'll give you that.
00:14:06But I gotta be real with you.
00:14:08This is about to be the shortest game in history.
00:14:12You know, even now you kinda look like my newest employee.
00:14:16Hey.
00:14:17I'll even give you an opportunity.
00:14:18to redeem yourself.
00:14:20If you put in a good word to Claudia on my behalf, I might even chuck in a good bonus
00:14:25for you.
00:14:32Whoa!
00:14:34When did you learn to do that?
00:14:36Last night on fucking YouTube?
00:14:40Are you fucking kidding me?
00:14:45Useless.
00:14:46I told you, he couldn't be trusted.
00:14:51He seems to be a real wookie.
00:14:55Wait.
00:14:56Let me cut the deck.
00:15:09I took a book.
00:15:12I thought this is enough if you wanted to do that.
00:15:13I think you have to like a cool flash bar.
00:15:13I didn't know.
00:15:14Well, I think it's not a little too bad.
00:15:14You never missed anything.
00:15:14You never missed any questions.
00:15:15I was 26 years old.
00:15:37All in
00:15:40I'm not even looking at what you've got
00:15:42Stakes are set
00:15:43What difference does it make?
00:15:51I call
00:15:57Looks like your luck runs out today, kid

00:16:57You have a one percent chance of winning.

00:19:58Claudia, it's nothing.
00:20:00It's not nothing. It was astonishing.
00:20:03Where'd you learn to play like that?
00:20:04Who are you really, Ethan?
00:20:06I'm just a bartender who happened to get lucky this one time.
00:20:10Oh, come on. We both know that's not true.
00:20:14Are you going to keep your little secret? Even from me?
00:20:21Jesus, you're such a coward, Worm. You'd be dead years ago without her. This is how you repay her?

00:28:19That's life when you've grown up with nothing.
00:28:22Your money, I'm not stealing it.
00:28:24I'm reclaiming it from gamblers like you who have destroyed families with your addiction.
00:28:29You should thank me for helping you serve your cursed cash for a good purpose.
00:28:37Rebecca, who's out there?
00:28:40No one, Grandpa.
00:28:42Go back to sleep.
00:28:43What kind of trouble are you in now?
00:28:46Bring them in.
00:28:47Bring them in now.
00:28:54How many times must I tell you?
00:28:57Do not take anything that isn't ours.
00:29:01I apologize.
00:29:03I apologize for my granddaughter's behavior.
00:29:06She'll return the money.
00:29:09But Grandpa, your medication...
00:29:10It's not worth our integrity.
00:29:17Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:23Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:25Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:28Somebody help!
00:29:30Somebody!
00:29:35Grandpa, are you okay?
00:29:43Keep the money.
00:29:45Your grandfather needs it more than I do.
00:29:47Wait, seriously?
00:29:48That's very generous of you, but we cannot accept that.
00:29:53Why would you do this?
00:29:55Because I know what it's like to need help and not get it.
00:30:01Look, Rebecca isn't always this defensive.
00:30:05You know, since her parents...
00:30:07Grandpa don't.
00:30:08They became involved with the hyena gambling debts.
00:30:13You know, with the high interest.
00:30:15And when they couldn't make the payments...
00:30:18Well, you know...
00:30:21She's been looking after me all this time.
00:30:25And it's a burden for this young lady.
00:30:27It's not fair.
00:30:32Go to the Paradise Casino.
00:30:35Find Claudia.
00:30:36Tell her you're a friend of Ethan's.
00:30:37She'll be able to help you.
00:30:44Because of this money, I work for you.
00:30:54We got no choice, guys!
00:30:56Thanks.
00:30:59What?!
00:31:15There it is!
00:31:19Look at this!
00:31:21Ten years ago, were you driving this car near the Paradise Casino?
00:31:24No!
00:31:25Dude, I already told you.
00:31:26I just had eyes on it.
00:31:29It belongs to Mr. X.
00:31:31Who's Mr. X?
00:31:32He runs half the underground gambling syndicates in the city.
00:31:36No one knows his true identity.
00:31:37And he knows every crime family around town.
00:31:42I think I know who I know where he is.
00:31:46Ken will find him.
00:31:47That's Mr. X's right hand man.
00:31:48He runs the El Dorado Casino for the hyenas.
00:31:54Dad.
00:31:55I promise I'll find who did this to you and make him pay his debt.
00:32:21I'm looking for Ken.
00:32:23Mr. Warcloth isn't a developer for anyone, especially for losers.
00:32:27I'm looking for Ken.
00:32:28Oh, that's fine.
00:32:28We understand.
00:32:29When will he be available?
00:32:31He's hosting a high stake games tonight.
00:32:33At least one million dollars.
00:32:37What do we do now?
00:32:39We wait.
00:32:40Would you like to bet?
00:32:45Would you like to bet?
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:47Why not?
00:32:53This table, bet minimum 100.
00:32:56Perhaps we will be more comfortable than many slots.
00:33:03Don't look at me.
00:33:04Maybe next time think twice before you give away all your money.
00:33:07Don't look at me either.
00:33:09Nobody told me to bring the money.
00:33:12Everybody knows that you can't even handle a tiny paradise casino.
00:33:16I suggest you disappear before Mr. Warcloth finds out who you are here.
00:33:20Actually, we wanted to play that high stakes game you mentioned.
00:33:24The funniest things I ever heard.
00:33:26You need at least one million dollars to get a seat at the table.
00:33:31Reserve me a seat. I'll have the money.
00:33:33With the 20 dollar bills?
00:33:35It's the funniest things I ever heard.
00:33:40I never gamble on luck. What games can I play with 20 dollars?
00:33:53Great.
00:33:54Are you insane?
00:33:56How are you going to turn 20 dollars into one million dollars in an hour?
00:33:59Don't worry about it.
00:34:01No, not yet.
00:34:09Second layer of gambling.
00:34:11Insight.
00:34:12Ears listening.
00:34:14Eyes observing.
00:34:15Mind remembers.
00:34:17Feeling the dealer's rhythm.
00:34:19The patterns on the cards.
00:34:20The cracks in your opponent's armor.
00:34:24Can I remember?
00:34:30Rest. 14.
00:34:32Flare wins.
00:34:34Did we win?
00:34:35Oh yeah, we won!
00:34:39Find a little bit.
00:34:41Again, all in black.
00:34:45Flare, what do you want?
00:34:46Flare wins.
00:34:47Brilliant!
00:34:48But it's too slow.
00:34:49We'll never reach one million.
00:34:51Hmm.
00:35:16You must be new to this game.
00:35:18You will lose all your money.
00:35:20Betting on numbers is suicide.
00:35:28Oh!
00:35:30Oh my God!
00:35:32It's impossible.
00:35:33How much money did we win?
00:35:34I can't do the calculation.
00:35:35Around about 15,000.
00:35:38Oh my God!
00:35:43Switch in loaded dice.
00:35:44Something else, man.
00:35:46You walked something out.
00:35:47How did he do this?
00:35:47I thought I was good.
00:35:51Ahhhh.
00:35:57Here's his chips.
00:35:59Something else, man.
00:36:00You walked something out.
00:36:01How did he do this?
00:36:02I thought I was good.
00:36:06Let's freshen up the game.
00:36:08New dice.
00:36:11They're on to you.
00:36:12We need to switch tables.
00:36:14Anyone bet?
00:36:19You have won loads.
00:36:21Don't be risky.
00:36:22Mind your own business, man.
00:36:26Final bet.
00:36:27Excuse me.
00:36:27I couldn't help but notice how beautiful your hand was.
00:36:29Would you be able to lend me your luck for this round?
00:36:32A woman as beautiful as you surely wouldn't mind, right?
00:36:35Changed my mind.
00:36:36I'm gonna go 15.
00:36:38Let's see.
00:36:56Flash, Rebecca.
00:36:57New table, new game.
00:36:58Let's go.
00:37:12Do you want to play?
00:37:14No.
00:37:15I quit.
00:37:2320 points.
00:37:25Strong hand.
00:37:26Stand or split?
00:37:27Holy idiot who split his hands.
00:37:30Split.
00:37:32Wait.
00:37:33Are you crazy?
00:37:34That's a winning hand.
00:37:35Is he serious?
00:37:37Is he serious?
00:37:37Nobody splits face card.
00:37:48What are the odds?
00:37:50If he has any sense, you stand on both hands right now.
00:37:53Stand.
00:37:54We're definitely winning now.
00:37:56Split.
00:38:03Split.
00:38:05Hey, man.
00:38:07Don't be stupid.
00:38:09You're throwing away the money.
00:38:10Have you lost your damn mind?
00:38:11That's $800,000 on the table now.
00:38:30Good advice often falls on deaf ears.
00:38:33This is all my fault.
00:38:34I should have played for you.
00:38:35Look at what you've done.
00:38:3712, 13, 14, 13 points.
00:38:40Would you like to hit off any of these hands?
00:38:47Stand on all four.
00:38:49I've seen some bad plays in my mind, but this really takes the cake.
00:38:55Someone should teach these kids how to bleed before he goes broke.
00:38:58It's impossible to win with those hands.
00:39:07Less than 16.
00:39:08You have to draw another card.
00:39:20Blast it, baby!
00:39:21Yahoo!
00:39:23Yeah!
00:39:24Come here!
00:39:24Yeah!
00:39:26Yeah!
00:39:27Thank you very much.
00:39:38My, my.
00:39:40Isn't this quite the winning streak you're having?
00:39:48Strange.
00:39:49A newcomer walks in with only $20 and suddenly can't lose?
00:39:57Makes one wonder.
00:40:00Beginner's luck?
00:40:14I'm Ken.
00:40:15Floor manager of Eldorado.
00:40:17I don't believe we've met.
00:40:20Peter?
00:40:22Maybe you can introduce us.
00:40:25And how dare you show your face out of that disgrace of paradise?
00:40:32This is, uh, Ethan, my cousin from the Bay Area.
00:40:37He owns his own tech startup.
00:40:40Alright.
00:40:41Cousin from the Bay Area.
00:40:43I heard you're interested in my high stakes game.
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:46I believe I have the required buy-in already.
00:40:50Oh, I would love to offer you a seat.
00:40:53With 1.6 million?
00:40:56This is awkward.
00:40:58You see, the buyers have just doubled in.
00:41:00Unless you can get 2 million right away.
00:41:03That's not fair.
00:41:05You can't change the game.
00:41:07My casino.
00:41:08My rules.
00:41:15Don't worry, if we can win 1.6 million, 400 grand is easy.
00:41:18Let's go get it.
00:41:19There's no time for that.
00:41:21The high stakes game has already started.
00:41:23But of course you are willing to, uh, you can play at those low league tables.
00:41:29I think you'll find your table's the only one worth my stack.
00:41:32Oh, I see.
00:41:34It's not about the table, is it?
00:41:37It's about me.
00:41:40Listen, you insignificant nobody.
00:41:45How dare you come to my casino and cause trouble.
00:41:49I will make sure you lose everything.
00:41:54Of course that is when you can qualify to be in my high stakes game.
00:42:02Lone Shark.
00:42:04I need 400 grand right now.
00:42:07That's a lot of money.
00:42:09Euclidean does not go to hit Peter.
00:42:12I'll put up collateral.
00:42:14What collateral?
00:42:15You can nothing left.
00:42:16I have my body, all my organs.
00:42:19Peter, are you insane?
00:42:21What are you talking about?
00:42:23Give him the 400 grand.
00:42:24I have my hands.
00:42:30Looks like we will be harvesting more than just money tonight.
00:42:44Peter, why are you doing this?
00:42:46Ken and I could be working together or something to set you up for your organs.
00:42:49Why do you trust me?
00:42:50Sometimes life is one big gamble.
00:42:54You just have to trust.
00:42:56I've been cheated my whole life.
00:42:58I've lost everything.
00:43:00I have no excuses if it happens again.
00:43:03But something tells me it won't happen this time.
00:43:07I trust you, Ethan.
00:43:09I believe in you.
00:43:17Welcome to the high stakes game.
00:43:22Time to bet.
00:43:24Wait.
00:43:26Play it safe.
00:43:27All right.
00:43:28Thought you trusted me.
00:43:29I do, but...
00:43:34Just kidding.
00:43:35Let's try 100,000.
00:43:38I'm a player.
00:43:40Any more bets?
00:43:40Let's try 100,000.
00:44:07Banker wins.
00:44:15Losing already, are we?
00:44:23Looks like the new kids won't just come out.
00:44:27Should we stay at the rolling table?
00:44:29At least you keep your money a little bit longer.
00:44:34I thought you were the chosen one, but you were just lucky earlier.
00:44:37Aren't you?
00:44:39Love buys the chips, skill castes them.
00:44:44You have for another game?
00:44:47Or do you need a moment to cry?
00:44:50I'll win one player.
00:44:55Desperate and foolish.
00:44:57He's trying to provoke you.
00:44:59Don't take the bait.
00:45:00We have all night to get it back.
00:45:12Wait.
00:45:14I'd like to cut the deck.
00:45:18I'd like to cut the deck.
00:45:43It isn't going to help you.
00:45:44You are dead for sure this time.
00:45:46You are dead for sure this time.
00:45:53I haven't lost yet.
00:45:55I haven't lost yet.
00:46:14It's a natural eight.
00:46:15We need a natural nine.
00:46:16What are the odds of that?
00:46:25You know, I think today might just be my lucky day.
00:46:30Oh, whoa.
00:46:31Yes!
00:46:32Oh, my God!
00:46:32Thank God you did it!
00:46:33Yes!
00:46:34No, I...
00:46:37You're cheating.
00:46:38How can you say that?
00:46:39You've been shuffling and handling the deck.
00:46:40He's barely touched the cards.
00:46:58Who sent you here to cause trouble with the Hynias?
00:47:01Your casino only welcomes losers, not winners?
00:47:04Who are you, really?
00:47:06Insignificant nobody.
00:47:08Tell me about Mr. X.
00:47:12Everyone out.
00:47:13Now!
00:47:19Alright, alright.
00:47:21Let's get some exercise.
00:47:29I'd like to meet Mr. X.
00:47:31He has some information that I want to know.
00:47:34He wants to meet Mr. X.
00:47:37You're not someone that Mr. X meets, okay?
00:47:41You're delusional.
00:47:43Well, then I'm just gonna keep winning until your casino runs out of money.
00:47:46Not too hard to imagine how Mr. X feels about that, right?
00:47:53Let's do this properly.
00:47:55One last game.
00:47:57Simplest rules possible.
00:47:58I love simple.
00:48:01Three dice game.
00:48:03Lowest total wins.
00:48:06Pure skill.
00:48:08No cheating.
00:48:09And if I win, you take me to Mr. X.
00:48:12When you lose, not only do you leave all the money, but also your right hand.
00:48:20Don't do this, Ethan.
00:48:21You can walk away from this right now.
00:48:24Okay?
00:48:25I've got debts to pay.
00:48:26You have enough money.
00:48:28We can find another way to get to Mr. X.
00:48:30Deal.
00:49:09Impressive, for a rookie, but not good enough.
00:49:16One, the minimum.
00:49:21Impossible to beat.
00:49:23This is why I'm king of the casinos.
00:49:28What, do you really think he was gonna beat me?
00:49:30Some nobody.
00:49:33I tell you what, I'll make it quick.
00:49:37One clean cut.
00:49:41If you beg me, I'll leave you a pinky as a souvenir.
00:49:46We're finished.
00:49:48His hand, my organs.
00:49:51What's wrong?
00:49:53Too scared to see your loss?
00:49:56I mean, by now, most people will wet their pants.
00:50:01Show your dice.
00:50:03Face your defeat.
00:50:14Third layer of Gambit.
00:50:17Shadow.
00:50:18Break every rule.
00:50:20Strike where they least expect.
00:50:23Zero.
00:50:24No points.
00:50:25That's impossible.
00:50:28How did you do it?
00:50:30Your turn, Ken.
00:50:31Deal's a deal.
00:50:34No, no.
00:50:35No, this can't be.
00:50:38Nobody gets out of here alive!
00:50:40Get them!
00:50:44Need some help?
00:50:59Nobody gets out of here alive!
00:51:01Get them!
00:51:06Need some help?
00:51:09Ethan is under my protection.
00:51:12Anyone who wants to harm him answers to me first.
00:51:20Time to call Mr. X.
00:51:22You don't understand what kind of monster he is.
00:51:28Okay, okay.
00:51:32Ken, what is it?
00:51:34Boss, some kitty wants to talk to you.
00:51:43Mr. X, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:51:46Who is this?
00:51:47Oh, me, I'm nobody.
00:51:49But you're gonna know who I am.
00:51:52Ken, you lost to a nobody?
00:51:55You know I don't like losers.
00:51:57Please, look.
00:51:58Just give me one more chance.
00:51:59I can fix this.
00:52:01It's Claudia.
00:52:02She's the one protecting him.
00:52:04Claudia.
00:52:08Do you really want to stand up against me?
00:52:13I...
00:52:13Think real hard about what comes next.
00:52:18Boss, wait, what about me?
00:52:20What about my hand?
00:52:21Useless tools have no use in my organization.
00:52:26Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:52:28Beep, beep, beep.
00:52:30Beep, beep, beep.
00:52:36Beep, beep.
00:52:45Noooooooooo!
00:52:49The one thing Ken is right about is
00:52:51Mr. X is not someone to be trifled with.
00:52:54He controls half the underground city.
00:52:56His reach is everywhere.
00:52:58Why do you want to mess with him anyway?
00:53:00Oh, come on.
00:53:01You've met Mr. X.
00:53:02You know how dangerous he is.
00:53:04Help me out here.
00:53:05I'm sorry, but my mind's being made up.
00:53:07I'm with Ethan now.
00:53:09He's my mentor.
00:53:10Wherever he goes, I'll fight for you.
00:53:11Rebecca.
00:53:12Grandpa told me to repay Ethan's kindness.
00:53:15Whatever he wants, I'll do it.
00:53:19I'm sorry, Claudia.
00:53:22But I can't give up now.
00:53:40Welcome home, Ethan Cross.
00:53:51I had to see for myself what kind of a man could make Claudia stand up against me.
00:54:06I must admit, I'm quite impressed.
00:54:10Claudia!
00:54:12I see you've made your choice.
00:54:14This isn't about her.
00:54:16It's about you and me.
00:54:35Aces are my favorite.
00:54:40Hearts for love.
00:54:44Diamonds for wealth.
00:54:47Clubs for luck.
00:54:50Spades.
00:54:55For death.
00:54:56What the hell?
00:55:01Okay.
00:55:03Let's play a game.
00:55:04You and me.
00:55:06If I win, you tell me the answer to something that I want to know.
00:55:10If you win, my last year I see.
00:55:15The answer to whatever question that may be, must be very important to you.
00:55:21Do you know, Ethan, it's been years since anyone has dared challenge me.
00:55:26You don't stand a fucking chance.
00:55:28You know that, right?
00:55:31But if death is your wish, then I accept your challenge.
00:55:36But not in this dump.
00:55:38Come to my place.
00:55:40It's 10 million to enter.
00:55:47I don't waste time on small games.
00:55:50Oh, by the way, space really suits you well.
00:56:15Bob, I finally found it.
00:56:27I'm sorry I brought all of this to your doorstep.
00:56:30The casino can be rebuilt.
00:56:32It's you I'm concerned about.
00:56:36You know him, don't you?
00:56:40It's...
00:56:40complicated.
00:56:42It's complicated.
00:56:47He killed my father.
00:56:50I've been haunting him for 10 years.
00:56:53That's why you don't gamble for money?
00:56:56I promised him before he died.
00:56:57Hey, your father made you promise to stay away from gambling
00:57:00because he didn't want you caught up in these syndicate wars.
00:57:03This is exactly what he feared.
00:57:06I can't give up now.
00:57:08I hope he forgives me that I broke my promise, but...
00:57:11I'm so close.
00:57:13Okay.
00:57:15I'm with you.
00:57:17Don't worry about the money.
00:57:18I will take care of it.
00:57:21Pretty much cleaned up out there.
00:57:25I think this is why we part ways.
00:57:27What happens next, I can't guarantee anyone's safety.
00:57:31Are you kidding?
00:57:32After everything we've been through?
00:57:34Your debt's paid, and you still have your grandpa to take care of.
00:57:38That's not fair.
00:57:43That's not fair.
00:57:45I heard what you said to Claudia.
00:57:46How come she gets to come and I don't?
00:57:48I'm coming.
00:57:52It's going to be really dangerous.
00:57:55You're stuck with us.
00:57:57Deal with it.
00:58:00Okay.
00:58:02But, Rebecca, I have a favor to ask first.
00:58:13Well, they're late.
00:58:16Young people nowadays.
00:58:18They're all full of shit.
00:58:20There may be a way to scare you to show up.
00:58:24I can't believe some rookie would dare to challenge you.
00:58:28The boy must be regretted about what he did right now.
00:58:34Now you guys are probably right.
00:58:36Let's not waste any more time here.
00:58:40Let me show you what I do.
00:58:57Oh my.
00:58:59Welcome, welcome.
00:59:01The challengers finally arrive.
00:59:04What happened this morning?
00:59:05Did your boyfriend forget to dress you?
00:59:08Oh, no, wait.
00:59:08I got it.
00:59:09He forgot how to use Google Maps.
00:59:28Security.
00:59:33Standard procedure for fairness, of course.
00:59:37Me or not.
00:59:41It's family heirloom asshole.
00:59:43Hands up, sweet cop.
00:59:59It's more than enough. Your men have made their point.
01:00:02So touchy. I was merely ensuring fair play.
01:00:19I trust you brought the buy-in?
01:00:22Ten million. Counted twice.
01:00:25Oh, I forgot to mention.
01:00:27I've hired an internationally renowned referee to ensure everything is legitimate.
01:00:33His fee is $200,000. As a challenger, that's your responsibility.
01:00:38These are the rules.
01:00:40Ah, but you don't have a buy-in.
01:00:43Ah, man, what a shame.
01:00:45Shameless bastard.
01:00:50Sweetheart, what made you think I would play fair?
01:01:12I'm willing to take care of that referee fee for you.
01:01:18All you have to do is stand up and bow.
01:01:23Thank me properly.
01:01:25A simple gesture of respect.
01:01:29You should be honored to have the chance to play with Mr. X.
01:01:49These are custom-made designer pieces worth over $100,000.
01:01:57These are worth 20 bucks from the mom.
01:02:03My Daytona Rolex is worth a hundred grand.
01:02:06Just don't let them know it's from Chinatown.
01:02:11Touching.
01:02:13Just like little dogs waiting for a treat.
01:02:16They're not dogs.
01:02:19They're my friends.
01:02:22Where's your buy-in anyway?
01:02:31You bitch!
01:02:34How dare you question me...
01:02:37...in my house?
01:02:48I lost everything once.
01:02:51And now all I have is money and power.
01:03:05That's quite a fortune we have there, isn't it?
01:03:09It's too bad none of you will be living to see it.
01:03:13What do you mean?
01:03:15You'll lose.
01:03:17Your lives will be mine.
01:03:19No one who sees my true face lives to speak of it.
01:03:24Ask Claudia.
01:03:26Oh, she hasn't told any of you?
01:03:34Sorry, I never meant to drag any of you into this.
01:03:36It's okay. We know.
01:03:38We chose to be here.
01:03:40You're gonna win.
01:03:41I know it.
01:03:46If you lose?
01:03:48I'll tell you what you need to know.
01:03:51And...
01:03:52...you can take my life.
01:03:53It won't be worth shit anyways if I lose to somebody like you.
01:03:57These gentlemen here would find me extremely fucking worthless.
01:04:02I have no interest in taking your life.
01:04:04I want you to tell me about my father's murder.
01:04:07And then I want you to confess to the police.
01:04:13You're James' boy.
01:04:16I thought I recognized those eyes.
01:04:19How exciting is this?
01:04:21I get to have a game with my old friend's little boy.
01:04:37You were friends.
01:04:40Then why did you kill him?
01:04:45Let's not waste any more time here.
01:04:47I'll tell you everything you want to know.
01:04:50You think you can beat me.
01:04:55Okay.
01:04:57Money checked.
01:04:59That's a gun.
01:05:01Taxes hold them, no limits.
01:05:04The plans for 50,000 to 100,000.
01:05:08And the game ends when one player loses the chips.
01:05:12Or is caught cheating.
01:05:15Is it clear?
01:05:17Any questions?
01:05:20Please check.
01:05:38Small plans, big plans please.
01:06:01Raise 300,000.
01:06:13You're lying.
01:06:14You're lying.
01:06:16Am I?
01:06:18Re-raise 1.3 million.
01:06:27Ask yourself why he made you promise never to gamble.
01:06:34Call.
01:06:50Was thinking 1.2 million.
01:07:01Call.
01:07:1110,000.
01:07:17All in.
01:07:18Call.
01:07:18Call.
01:07:22Even with that straight and flush.
01:07:24You have less than 30% chance to hit.
01:07:27The pot is against you.
01:07:30Basic math.
01:07:32official now,
01:07:43will perform.
01:07:47Show them the river.
01:07:54This is the right horror all the time.
01:07:58This is worth a centering pool.
01:08:03What's going on?
01:08:04He bluffed with nothing when he's playing like a madman.
01:08:11One hand, two and a half million dollars gone.
01:08:14Just like that.
01:08:16Quarter of your chips have vanished because you were too afraid to play the better hand.
01:08:22I can't believe you even came here to challenge me.
01:08:26I will destroy you in under an hour and take everything you have.
01:08:31I will destroy you in your arrogance.
01:08:34And you see, that's why he's the man.
01:08:38He knows how to break a man's mind.
01:08:41To Mr. X, the master of gambling.
01:08:46Don't listen to him. He's deliberately messing with your head.
01:08:52Oh, no!
01:08:55It's easy, easy. Remember, son, cards don't really matter as much as how you play them.
01:09:00And how you play them depends on controlling your emotions.
01:09:07Stay calm, no matter what.
01:09:11That's how you win.
01:09:18Game's only just begun.
01:09:24You really learned a lot from your father.
01:09:27Play the card.
01:09:30Oh.
01:09:491.2 million.
01:10:011.2 million.
01:10:11All in.
01:10:111.2 million.
01:10:24He folded three kings.
01:10:26That's practically unheard of in a game of heads up.
01:10:29Nobody folds a hand that strong.
01:10:32Your hand was written all over your face.
01:10:35It's impossible I gave away my tails.
01:10:37How did he always know my hands?
01:11:07Check.
01:11:11300,000.
01:11:15Call.
01:11:39500.
01:11:42Going big this time huh?
01:11:44You must have a really good hand.
01:12:01Check.
01:12:032 million.
01:12:14You really hit something big.
01:12:17Straight.
01:12:18Full house.
01:12:21What makes you so confident?
01:12:23One like this I could have anything even four aces.
01:12:27You should probably save yourself some money by folding down.
01:12:36Call.
01:12:38I hate to fold on a turn but I always want to see the river.
01:12:51Check.
01:12:51Check.
01:12:55All in.
01:12:57All in.
01:12:59All in.
01:12:59All in.
01:13:08Such a shame.
01:13:10You play it alright.
01:13:12You got balls at least.
01:13:28Call.
01:13:29I'll make this quick and easy and payless for you and your friends.
01:13:34Let's finish this.
01:13:35Call.
01:13:39He's cheating.
01:13:40No way he could win like that.
01:13:42Never accuse anybody of cheating.
01:13:44Unless you can prove it.
01:13:47Start with her.
01:13:49Cut out that sharp tongue of hers.
01:13:50Stop.
01:13:53Playing the hero to the end.
01:13:54I respect that.
01:13:57How would you like to die?
01:13:59You're a choice of course.
01:14:01It's a privilege I rarely offer.
01:14:04You don't want to see my hand.
01:14:05Can a flush beat a four of a kind?
01:14:11What kind of a flush beats four of a kind?
01:14:14Next time you come down here and learn the fucking rules.
01:14:18Wait a minute.
01:14:18Wait a minute.
01:14:20We all know there's not going to be a next time.
01:14:29What about a royal flush?
01:14:32That good enough to be four of a kind?
01:14:36Wait guys.
01:14:38Oh my.
01:14:38Yes!
01:14:39Oh my god.
01:14:40Yes!
01:14:42Oh my god.
01:14:43Yes!
01:14:45Wow!
01:14:46This can't be happening.
01:14:48It's impossible.
01:14:49He cheated.
01:14:50Search him now.
01:14:51That is not necessary.
01:14:53I won fair and square.
01:14:54If you got nothing to hide then why resist?
01:14:56Hey, hey.
01:14:57Kids.
01:14:58Technology reveals everything.
01:14:59I have secret cameras every recording his every move.
01:15:13There!
01:15:14See?
01:15:14He switched the cards.
01:15:15Everybody saw it.
01:15:17Grab him!
01:15:19Now let's see where you hid the real cards.
01:15:21Shall we?
01:15:34Nothing.
01:15:35No hiding cards.
01:15:38Get out.
01:15:49Looking for this?
01:15:51My lucky charm.
01:15:53It's just a sticker.
01:15:57It's not against the rules though, is it?
01:16:00Gambling seems fair.
01:16:02Deceptively so.
01:16:03Yet, the moment you take your seat, you've already lost.
01:16:07No one can win forever yet.
01:16:10No one can win forever yet.
01:16:11Unless, you set the rules.
01:16:15The third layer of gambling.
01:16:18Shatter.
01:16:19Break every rule.
01:16:22Strike where they least expect.
01:16:30This kid?
01:16:32What are you doing?
01:16:33My father and I used to do this before.
01:16:37We can't expect Mr. X to play fair, can we?
01:16:44Oh no!
01:16:45Don't touch it!
01:16:48Ah!
01:16:49God damn it!
01:16:50What?
01:16:50Some disgusting earworks you've got there.
01:16:53This is how he knew my hand.
01:17:01He was cheating all along.
01:17:05X, you're all the time cheating.
01:17:07The winner is ace in class.
01:17:13Where do you think you're going?
01:17:15I got you all those casinos.
01:17:17Hey!
01:17:17Hey!
01:17:17You!
01:17:18Hey!
01:17:18I got you millions of dollars!
01:17:21Hey!
01:17:22I launched you tens of millions of dollars!
01:17:25Where you going?
01:17:26Fine!
01:17:27Take off!
01:17:28Don't fucking come back!
01:17:32What happened to my father, X?
01:17:34Why'd you kill him?
01:17:35He shouldn't have taken the money.
01:17:40What happened to my father, X?
01:17:41Why'd you kill him?
01:17:43He shouldn't have taken the money.
01:17:45He shouldn't have been with them.
01:17:47You were friends.
01:17:50I was just a weapon.
01:17:52Somebody else pulled the trigger.
01:17:54That's bullshit.
01:17:54You're making excuses.
01:17:56Why would I lie?
01:17:58He made me do it.
01:18:00Here's somebody!
01:18:02Ready for Disneyland!
01:18:04Yeah!
01:18:04Look at this!
01:18:09No, dad!
01:18:10No!
01:18:11Don't kill my dad!
01:18:12No!
01:18:13No!
01:18:16No!
01:18:18No!
01:18:32Help!
01:18:33Help!
01:18:33It's them.
01:18:34Please.
01:18:35Promise me.
01:18:36You'll never gamble like me.
01:18:38Promise me.
01:18:39I promise whatever you say.
01:18:40Please stay with me.
01:18:42Somebody help!
01:18:43Somebody!
01:18:46Somebody!
01:18:48Help!
01:18:48Help!
01:18:51Money!
01:18:52Get the money!
01:18:53Get the money!
01:18:53Get the money!
01:18:55But the ultimate art.
01:18:56Not to play at all.
01:18:58For players may win sometimes.
01:19:01The banker never loses.
01:19:09What now?
01:19:13I'm still not done.
01:19:14Someone else is behind all this.
01:19:18Well, no matter what, I'm with you.
01:19:22And you?
01:19:24Grandpa doesn't want me home, so I've got nothing else to do.
01:19:33Go away from me at the car.
01:19:43No, he's James' son.
01:19:44He cannot be a part of the plan, I'm telling you.
01:19:47No, it ends here.
01:19:50Look, I've gotta go.
01:19:51I'll call you back later.
01:19:53Got something to tell me?
01:19:56I do know things, Ethan, but it goes way deeper than you could ever imagine.
01:20:02Your father, he just wanted to protect you.
01:20:05To keep you away from all of this.
01:20:07That's why he made you promise never to gamble.
01:20:11I am begging you, please.
01:20:13Walk away while you still can.
01:20:18How about we leave it up to fate?
01:20:22If you win, you give up now.
01:20:25Pretend like none of this ever happened.
01:20:27Go about living my life.
01:20:29If I win, you tell me everything I want to know.
01:20:52I'm headed to death.
01:20:57Go ahead, we'll get into death.
01:20:58Here we go.
