Rounders

[Man Narrating] |
| 00:01:13 |
If you can't spot the sucker |
| 00:01:18 |
then you are the sucker. |
| 00:01:28 |
Guys around here'll tell ya... |
| 00:01:32 |
It's like any other job. |
| 00:01:36 |
Your goal is to win |
| 00:01:40 |
Get your money in when you have the best |
| 00:01:43 |
Don't give anything away. |
| 00:01:45 |
That's how I've paid my way |
| 00:01:48 |
A true grinder. |
| 00:01:52 |
See, I learned how to win a little at |
| 00:01:57 |
If you're too careful, your |
| 00:02:10 |
This is Teddy KGB's place. |
| 00:02:14 |
- [Man] Five hundred. |
| 00:02:17 |
Nope. |
| 00:02:19 |
No? What? |
| 00:02:25 |
Give me three stacks |
| 00:02:42 |
Thirty thousand. |
| 00:02:51 |
- That's good. |
| 00:02:57 |
- Good. Want a cookie? |
| 00:03:01 |
[Narrating] |
| 00:03:03 |
but KGB is connected all the way |
| 00:03:07 |
He's the one guy in the game |
| 00:03:10 |
But if you're looking |
| 00:03:13 |
this is the only place |
| 00:03:15 |
They all know me as a small-timer, |
| 00:03:25 |
Joey Knish |
| 00:03:28 |
He's been a rounder, |
| 00:03:31 |
since he was 19 years old. |
| 00:03:34 |
What are you, |
| 00:03:36 |
Uh, yeah, |
| 00:03:40 |
- You should be. |
| 00:03:42 |
'Cause I hope you're not thinking |
| 00:03:44 |
[Narrating] He's as close to a friend |
| 00:03:48 |
- Come here. |
| 00:03:51 |
Now, you don't wanna |
| 00:03:53 |
'Cause they'll chew you up, |
| 00:03:58 |
- So you say. |
| 00:04:00 |
We get outta here, get some coffee, |
| 00:04:03 |
I know what I'm doing. |
| 00:04:08 |
You're making a run at it, |
| 00:04:11 |
Rolling up a stake |
| 00:04:14 |
I'm right, right? |
| 00:04:17 |
- I can beat the game. |
| 00:04:19 |
Maybe this is a game |
| 00:04:22 |
But you know you can beat the 10-20 |
| 00:04:25 |
at that goulash joint |
| 00:04:29 |
Okay. |
| 00:04:35 |
I understand. |
| 00:04:41 |
[Narrating] The game in question is |
| 00:04:44 |
Minimum buy-in $25,000. |
| 00:04:47 |
A game like this doesn't come together |
| 00:04:51 |
The stakes attract |
| 00:04:53 |
and they in turn |
| 00:05:00 |
No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em |
| 00:05:04 |
Each player is dealt |
| 00:05:07 |
Five cards are then dealt |
| 00:05:10 |
These are community cards everyone can |
| 00:05:15 |
The key to the game is playing |
| 00:05:18 |
Bet an eight ball. |
| 00:05:23 |
There's no other game in which fortunes |
| 00:05:27 |
A brilliant player can get |
| 00:05:30 |
and lose his mind along with |
| 00:05:33 |
This is why the World Series of Poker is |
| 00:05:38 |
Some people, pros even, |
| 00:05:40 |
They can't handle |
| 00:05:44 |
But there are others, |
| 00:05:47 |
who consider No-Limit |
| 00:05:52 |
Like Papa Wallenda said..."Life is on |
| 00:05:57 |
Pass it to you. |
| 00:06:03 |
All right, I raise. |
| 00:06:05 |
- I'm gonna raise five hundred. |
| 00:06:11 |
It's a position raise. |
| 00:06:19 |
[Narrating] |
| 00:06:23 |
- Go ahead. |
| 00:06:26 |
and I want to keep him |
| 00:06:28 |
Against your average guy, |
| 00:06:32 |
Let him walk into it. |
| 00:06:35 |
So, what I've got to do |
| 00:06:38 |
make it look like |
| 00:06:40 |
- I bet $2,000. |
| 00:07:15 |
Call. |
| 00:07:18 |
[Narrating] |
| 00:07:23 |
Burn and turn. |
| 00:07:27 |
[Narrating] |
| 00:07:29 |
I got a full house. |
| 00:07:33 |
- To the bettor. |
| 00:07:35 |
[Narrating] Now I hope |
| 00:07:39 |
That way he'll bet strong, and I'll beat |
| 00:07:48 |
I'm going to bet... |
| 00:07:52 |
Bet... |
| 00:07:56 |
$15,000. |
| 00:08:01 |
Time. |
| 00:08:06 |
[Narrating] I want him to think |
| 00:08:09 |
but all I'm really thinking about |
| 00:08:28 |
All right, your 15, plus |
| 00:08:32 |
Um... |
| 00:08:38 |
Yeah, I'm gonna go all in, 'cause |
| 00:08:45 |
You are right. |
| 00:08:55 |
[Narrating] I know before |
| 00:09:02 |
Aces full, Mike. |
| 00:09:34 |
Get up. |
| 00:09:39 |
Come on. |
| 00:09:46 |
- Want some? |
| 00:09:49 |
I'm down to the felt, Knish. |
| 00:09:52 |
Man, I lost my case money. |
| 00:09:58 |
It happens to everyone. |
| 00:10:02 |
You'll be back in the game |
| 00:10:05 |
I'm done. |
| 00:10:08 |
They all say that |
| 00:10:11 |
Hey, man, let me stake you. |
| 00:10:14 |
Fifty percent of your winnings. |
| 00:10:20 |
I'd just throw it away. |
| 00:10:25 |
- You still got the truck? |
| 00:10:29 |
Come on. |
| 00:10:45 |
[Mike Narrating] You don't hear much |
| 00:10:49 |
but I'll tell you |
| 00:10:52 |
They end up humping crappy jobs |
| 00:10:54 |
trying to figure out |
| 00:10:59 |
See, I had this picture |
| 00:11:01 |
Me sitting at the big table, |
| 00:11:04 |
Amarillo Slim to my right, |
| 00:11:09 |
And I let that vision |
| 00:11:13 |
Now, the closest I get |
| 00:11:16 |
driving this lousy route |
| 00:11:19 |
to rounders who forget |
| 00:11:22 |
Always leave yourself outs. |
| 00:11:24 |
- Hey, Moogie. |
| 00:11:27 |
In a legal sense, can fuckin' |
| 00:11:30 |
Does he have the fuckin' right |
| 00:11:33 |
I don't know. |
| 00:11:36 |
- You didn't learn that yet? |
| 00:11:40 |
Oh. |
| 00:11:43 |
- Take care, man. |
| 00:11:56 |
- [Chattering] |
| 00:11:59 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:12:01 |
I'd heard about it for years on the |
| 00:12:05 |
A rotating group of ten or twelve |
| 00:12:09 |
They all have money, |
| 00:12:11 |
it would have been pretty sweet to have |
| 00:12:15 |
Only problem is, no one |
| 00:12:17 |
One rounder, Crispy Linetta, |
| 00:12:22 |
but they found out he was a pro, |
| 00:12:26 |
Even his regular club, |
| 00:12:29 |
Place had been open |
| 00:12:32 |
Oh, Michael. |
| 00:12:34 |
- You got some things for me? |
| 00:12:37 |
Put 'em on the desk, |
| 00:12:41 |
Kid, he paying you |
| 00:12:43 |
Oh, well, knowledge is |
| 00:12:46 |
- [Chuckles] |
| 00:12:48 |
Why don't you become a jockey, |
| 00:12:51 |
- [Group Laughs] |
| 00:12:54 |
Enough with the Belmont |
| 00:12:57 |
- All right. I call. |
| 00:12:59 |
in the Moot Court |
| 00:13:01 |
Besides, he could use |
| 00:13:04 |
clerk for one of you fellas |
| 00:13:07 |
Abe, I thought you liked the kid. Why do |
| 00:13:11 |
Yeah, look... a word to the wise. |
| 00:13:14 |
That Nassau defense attorney's game? |
| 00:13:18 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:13:21 |
there isn't a single |
| 00:13:24 |
- I call. |
| 00:13:27 |
Um, the professor raises. |
| 00:13:31 |
Mike? [Whispers] |
| 00:13:35 |
No, you're good. |
| 00:13:37 |
All right, I call. |
| 00:13:40 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:13:42 |
before it even starts, |
| 00:13:47 |
- Good. |
| 00:13:49 |
- [Clears Throat] |
| 00:13:55 |
Threes check. |
| 00:14:02 |
Check to Martin and Lewis |
| 00:14:05 |
- Check to the raiser. |
| 00:14:08 |
- What's the limit? |
| 00:14:12 |
Okay. Good. |
| 00:14:17 |
You've seen half a hand. How the |
| 00:14:21 |
You sure this is wise, Abe? |
| 00:14:23 |
It's plenty wise. |
| 00:14:28 |
[Chuckles] |
| 00:14:31 |
Summer clerkship in your office says |
| 00:14:34 |
I don't bet |
| 00:14:36 |
Let's just say I'll put you at the top |
| 00:14:40 |
Okay. [Clears Throat] Well, you |
| 00:14:44 |
but you forgot that Professor Green |
| 00:14:47 |
and now you're representing |
| 00:14:49 |
The D.A. made his two pair, |
| 00:14:51 |
Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze out |
| 00:14:55 |
and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping |
| 00:14:58 |
So, like I said, |
| 00:15:01 |
- Well, kiss my ass. |
| 00:15:04 |
[Group Laughs] |
| 00:15:08 |
- What'd you have, Abe? |
| 00:15:11 |
- Oh, come on. |
| 00:15:13 |
All right, kid, your first assignment. |
| 00:15:17 |
Oh, I'd like to. I can't, I can't. |
| 00:15:20 |
- Get outta here! |
| 00:15:23 |
- Whose deal? |
| 00:15:26 |
- I like the kid, Abe. |
| 00:15:29 |
Smart kid. |
| 00:15:31 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:15:34 |
An open invitation |
| 00:15:38 |
But I'm retired. |
| 00:15:42 |
The truth is, I can always |
| 00:15:45 |
Easy games, tough games, straight games, |
| 00:15:49 |
I can turn this truck onto the Jersey |
| 00:15:55 |
But I've made promises. |
| 00:16:00 |
I'm just a law student now. |
| 00:16:04 |
Hello? |
| 00:16:06 |
- Hey. |
| 00:16:10 |
- How'd it go? |
| 00:16:17 |
[Sighs] |
| 00:16:21 |
Don't worry. |
| 00:16:24 |
Mmm. |
| 00:16:27 |
Oh, I gotta go. |
| 00:16:30 |
- I'm really late. |
| 00:16:33 |
- You won't feel a thing. [Chuckles] |
| 00:16:36 |
We both know |
| 00:16:38 |
Besides, you should |
| 00:16:41 |
These fuckin' long nights |
| 00:16:43 |
They never used to. |
| 00:16:45 |
Yeah, well, that's different. |
| 00:16:47 |
buy in at 8:00, next thing |
| 00:16:50 |
But hey, you know, I think |
| 00:16:53 |
Hooked up how? |
| 00:16:55 |
Well, after I left you last night at the |
| 00:16:59 |
I think I might be in line |
| 00:17:03 |
Tell me more. |
| 00:17:06 |
Well, those guys were |
| 00:17:09 |
Just hear me out now, |
| 00:17:11 |
They were playing cards |
| 00:17:17 |
So, instead of coming home, you went |
| 00:17:21 |
No, I wasn't even playing. |
| 00:17:27 |
I just caught his eye |
| 00:17:29 |
I mean, as long as I don't fuck |
| 00:17:35 |
What kind of job |
| 00:17:38 |
Writing an opinion |
| 00:17:40 |
Honey, you're the one |
| 00:17:43 |
that I should use my poker skills |
| 00:17:45 |
Yeah, I know |
| 00:17:48 |
You know what I meant. |
| 00:17:51 |
You know, the way you calculate odds |
| 00:17:55 |
That's what I meant. |
| 00:17:59 |
- Honey, con? I was networking. |
| 00:18:04 |
Networking. Are you trying |
| 00:18:07 |
No. |
| 00:18:10 |
I just... |
| 00:18:13 |
You'll be just like one |
| 00:18:17 |
You know, great job at the |
| 00:18:19 |
they never miss |
| 00:18:22 |
It's true. I just think if you |
| 00:18:26 |
you'll always be |
| 00:18:28 |
Baby, I didn't even play. |
| 00:18:32 |
Okay. |
| 00:18:35 |
I'll see you later. |
| 00:18:44 |
Oh. |
| 00:18:46 |
- Hey, hon, can I take |
| 00:18:51 |
Uh, Worm's gettin' out. |
| 00:18:53 |
Tomorrow. |
| 00:18:56 |
I promised |
| 00:18:58 |
Worm. I just can't believe you |
| 00:19:02 |
He's like my brother. |
| 00:19:06 |
Shit. |
| 00:19:10 |
[Mike Narrating] I met Worm |
| 00:19:14 |
We were the only two kids attending |
| 00:19:17 |
My father's office was there. |
| 00:19:20 |
That's why |
| 00:19:26 |
- [Makes Buzzer Sound] |
| 00:19:32 |
W-Was that, like, |
| 00:19:35 |
- Motherfucker! |
| 00:19:38 |
That's the fourth time you done |
| 00:19:41 |
No, no, no, no, no. |
| 00:19:43 |
Dowling had it three hands ago, and |
| 00:19:46 |
so I don't want to |
| 00:19:48 |
- Yeah, but he shot the moon |
| 00:19:51 |
- So it helped you. |
| 00:19:55 |
You ain't walking outta here |
| 00:19:58 |
You know the drill, okay? I'm not |
| 00:20:02 |
if you want 'em back, you can |
| 00:20:05 |
Murphy! What the hell you sittin' |
| 00:20:11 |
Processed? This motherfucker's |
| 00:20:15 |
Come on, man, have |
| 00:20:18 |
You can buy all the smokes |
| 00:20:20 |
- What are you talking about? |
| 00:20:23 |
Jesus, you guys are such |
| 00:20:27 |
If you're determined to die |
| 00:20:31 |
Ain't a good idea to add |
| 00:20:33 |
- That shit will come back and hurt you. |
| 00:20:36 |
Not in this lifetime. |
| 00:20:41 |
Murphy. |
| 00:20:44 |
[Mike Narrating] Worm's dad |
| 00:20:47 |
That's when we did 'em. |
| 00:20:49 |
Of course, the grounds |
| 00:20:51 |
Worm put us into a scam a day |
| 00:20:55 |
selling 'em dime bags |
| 00:21:00 |
- Where's the rest? |
| 00:21:07 |
- Thank you. |
| 00:21:09 |
more than just pocket change |
| 00:21:12 |
We had the starting five take a dive |
| 00:21:16 |
The point guard snapped |
| 00:21:24 |
They hauled him up before |
| 00:21:27 |
Tell us who else was involved, |
| 00:21:31 |
Worm didn't say a fuckin' word. |
| 00:21:37 |
- I stayed in school and graduated. |
| 00:21:39 |
[Bell Rings] |
| 00:21:43 |
Not many guys would stand up |
| 00:21:56 |
- Ta-da! |
| 00:21:59 |
- Mike McD. God. I knew you'd be here. |
| 00:22:02 |
- You never let me down. |
| 00:22:05 |
I know, I know. I couldn't |
| 00:22:08 |
- Look at you. You look great, man. |
| 00:22:10 |
- Did they toughen you up in there? |
| 00:22:13 |
It was a piece of cake. |
| 00:22:15 |
Man, look at your ride. You've been |
| 00:22:18 |
- What have you been up to? |
| 00:22:21 |
Whatever. Just get in it and |
| 00:22:27 |
There's like two whole economies in |
| 00:22:30 |
So I gotta keep three games |
| 00:22:32 |
A game with the white guys, |
| 00:22:36 |
And the trick is, I gotta take |
| 00:22:39 |
to lose it to the guards so that |
| 00:22:43 |
but I gotta trim enough smokes |
| 00:22:47 |
in the style that I've grown |
| 00:22:52 |
So you're working |
| 00:22:54 |
No. Who the hell |
| 00:22:56 |
- It's just me all alone. |
| 00:22:58 |
- You like that? Isn't that beautiful? |
| 00:23:00 |
It's like an ace up my sleeve. |
| 00:23:03 |
Wait till I show you some of my chops, |
| 00:23:06 |
- It's like, it's like, you know... |
| 00:23:09 |
It's gonna blow your mind, |
| 00:23:11 |
You been working? |
| 00:23:14 |
No, man, |
| 00:23:16 |
What, are you... |
| 00:23:18 |
No, man, |
| 00:23:21 |
- [Laughs] What, are you shitting me? |
| 00:23:25 |
- I got cleaned out. |
| 00:23:29 |
Yeah, man, l... It was a real |
| 00:23:33 |
You sat down with the Mad Russian |
| 00:23:36 |
Yeah. I didn't want to tell you |
| 00:23:39 |
I didn't want to |
| 00:23:42 |
Jesus, what were you thinking? |
| 00:23:44 |
- What are you doing for money? |
| 00:23:48 |
Oh, God, you're killin' me. Mike, Mike, |
| 00:23:51 |
- The old partners here, |
| 00:23:54 |
I mean, I really am. Done. |
| 00:23:56 |
You are, huh? All right. I know a game |
| 00:24:00 |
It's a berry patch right outside |
| 00:24:03 |
- I'll drop you... I'll drop you off. |
| 00:24:08 |
- I mean it. No, I'm really off it. |
| 00:24:20 |
This is it, |
| 00:24:22 |
So get this, here's the plan. |
| 00:24:25 |
She's fuckin' hot. I was this close |
| 00:24:30 |
She works as a hostess for all these |
| 00:24:33 |
She got me into |
| 00:24:35 |
She introduced me as her cousin |
| 00:24:40 |
That sounds solid. |
| 00:24:42 |
It's all the way nice. There's only |
| 00:24:46 |
- What feeling is that, exactly? |
| 00:24:50 |
- You know, when you got |
| 00:24:52 |
- Knife, fork, sauce, |
| 00:24:56 |
- You just don't have the stake. |
| 00:24:59 |
A nickel would start me |
| 00:25:02 |
Whoa, Jesus, what have you |
| 00:25:05 |
I'm livin' a little light, |
| 00:25:07 |
- Anyway, that's $220, |
| 00:25:11 |
Hey, thanks, but I mean, |
| 00:25:16 |
I mean, I can't |
| 00:25:18 |
Good, so forget this game. I'll |
| 00:25:21 |
No way. I gotta get started. |
| 00:25:24 |
I mean, I'm already |
| 00:25:26 |
You just got out. |
| 00:25:28 |
The hurry is, other than you, |
| 00:25:31 |
like, eagerly awaiting |
| 00:25:34 |
- How much do you owe? |
| 00:25:37 |
- Ten? |
| 00:25:41 |
Hey, look, I can get |
| 00:25:47 |
I heard you asking before, and I hear |
| 00:25:50 |
I just can't do that. |
| 00:25:53 |
Hey, you know what? What am I saying? |
| 00:25:57 |
It's fine. I'll make a couple of moves |
| 00:26:01 |
- But thanks, I appreciate it. |
| 00:26:04 |
- I'll catch you in the city tomorrow? |
| 00:26:09 |
Hey, Mike, man. |
| 00:26:12 |
You too. |

"Few players recall big pots |

"but every player can remember |
| 00:27:06 |
the outstanding tough beats |
| 00:27:09 |
Seems true to me. |
| 00:27:11 |
I can hardly remember |
| 00:27:13 |
but I can't stop thinking |
| 00:27:16 |
Mike. |
| 00:27:18 |
- Hi. |
| 00:27:22 |
Just follow me. |
| 00:27:30 |
I probably won't even sit. |
| 00:27:34 |
No, no, that's |
| 00:27:36 |
Here's the play... |
| 00:27:40 |
Really? Well, I'm not |
| 00:27:43 |
Bullshit. Worm tells me that's |
| 00:27:50 |
My cut is 25 per cent. |
| 00:27:53 |
- I see. |
| 00:28:03 |
Gentlemen. |
| 00:28:05 |
- This is my boyfriend Michael. |
| 00:28:08 |
[Barbara] |
| 00:28:10 |
- Leave him enough money |
| 00:28:13 |
- Good luck. |
| 00:28:15 |
Here, why don't you |
| 00:28:19 |
- Okay, this one's Chicago. |
| 00:28:23 |
- Uh, remind me. |
| 00:28:25 |
High spade in the hole |
| 00:28:27 |
Okay, well, |
| 00:28:33 |
- That's you. |
| 00:28:37 |
Okay. |
| 00:28:41 |
- That's two on you, Murph. |
| 00:28:47 |
- I'm in. |

Hey, big spender. |

[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:28:57 |
We bring out all the old school tricks, |
| 00:29:00 |
signalling, chip placing, |
| 00:29:03 |
- We even run the old best hand play. |
| 00:29:05 |
I can probably crack the game |
| 00:29:08 |
but there's no risk |
| 00:29:10 |
Now, some people might look down on |
| 00:29:14 |
But as Canada Bill Jones said, "It's |

His technique is flawless. |

A few times, I have to fold the case |

Still, he plays the part |
| 00:29:52 |
Flush. |
| 00:29:54 |
I got the full house. |
| 00:29:57 |
Ahh, fuck! |

- Fuck you and your never-ending |

Well, my Uncle Les says when the |

You guys, uh, |

How'd we do? |

Fuckin' assholes, |
| 00:30:46 |
All right, $300, |
| 00:30:48 |
- Thank you very much, boys. |
| 00:30:51 |
- When can we do this again? |
| 00:30:54 |
- Just because. |
| 00:30:56 |
- Uh, two weeks. |
| 00:30:59 |
- Hey, thanks a lot. Yeah. |
| 00:31:03 |
Hey, I had to try, right? |
| 00:31:05 |
Bye. |
| 00:31:08 |
Hey, how'd you know |
| 00:31:10 |
That's easy. |

Clint Eastwood. The Outlaw Josey Wales, |

He always doubles back |

[Worm] Hey, we made good time. |
| 00:31:22 |
[Mike] No, I gotta get home. If she |
| 00:31:26 |
Just do me a favor. |
| 00:31:28 |
Get me |
| 00:31:35 |
This may not look like Teddy's place, |
| 00:31:38 |
So don't fuck around. |
| 00:31:41 |
All right. |
| 00:31:48 |
Hey, you know I have no problem |
| 00:31:51 |
but these guys |
| 00:31:53 |
- They'll spot every move. |
| 00:31:56 |
- Yeah. I'm serious. |
| 00:31:58 |
- You won't just get |
| 00:32:00 |
- I'm playing straight. |
| 00:32:12 |
Michael McDermott. |
| 00:32:15 |
- How you doin', Mikey? |
| 00:32:17 |
Good. You know, um, |
| 00:32:20 |
the computer tried |
| 00:32:22 |
- Oh, yeah? |
| 00:32:24 |
Oh, no, I'm not back, |
| 00:32:26 |
- It's good to see you. |
| 00:32:29 |
Um, this is Les Murphy. |
| 00:32:32 |
Call me Worm. |
| 00:32:34 |
- [Phone Rings] |
| 00:32:38 |
Hey, what's she |
| 00:32:40 |
They're wired right into the precinct. |
| 00:32:49 |
- What are they playing? |
| 00:32:52 |
It's the only game going |
| 00:32:55 |
Is that Fat Greggie sitting 20-40? |
| 00:32:58 |
Yeah. It's a real live game. |
| 00:33:02 |
- No. |
| 00:33:04 |
- Oh, come on, you're not |
| 00:33:07 |
Mike, we could cut |
| 00:33:12 |
All right, run along, then. |
| 00:33:16 |
- Me, too. |
| 00:33:25 |
Jesus. What a fuckin' waste. |
| 00:33:27 |
Do you believe that? |
| 00:33:30 |
- That's not so bad, is it? |
| 00:33:33 |
- Come on, give me $2,000. |
| 00:33:35 |
You heard Mike. |
| 00:33:38 |
Look, I'm gonna triple that |
| 00:33:42 |
Okay. |

[Keys Jingling, |
| 00:34:02 |
Hey. |
| 00:34:04 |
Reunion run a little late? |
| 00:34:06 |
I was gonna call, |
| 00:34:09 |
It's okay. |
| 00:34:12 |
Well, why don't you change |
| 00:34:17 |
Um, why don't you just go ahead, |
| 00:34:19 |
And if I miss a little bit |
| 00:34:31 |
Hey. |
| 00:34:35 |
At least give me a story. |
| 00:34:38 |
I mean, tell me you were |
| 00:34:40 |
Tell me you were getting |
| 00:34:43 |
- I don't care, just give me something. |
| 00:34:47 |
- Uh-huh. |
| 00:34:50 |
- So, you were nowhere near a card game. |
| 00:34:54 |
What? |
| 00:34:56 |
- I'm just... |
| 00:35:00 |
All right? |
| 00:35:02 |
All right. |
| 00:35:35 |
I mean, the key is a seamless |

I think the most important thing |

Now, wait a minute. |

Gene Marinacci won't buy |
| 00:35:47 |
Oh, it's Gene, is it? |
| 00:35:49 |
Well, I knew there was a reason |
| 00:35:52 |
and it's got nothing to do |
| 00:35:55 |
Sorry. |
| 00:35:57 |
Anyway, when you make |
| 00:36:01 |
And use the right cites. |
| 00:36:05 |
Hi, Jo. |
| 00:36:07 |
- Long time. |
| 00:36:11 |
The same. |
| 00:36:14 |
I don't mean to interrupt |
| 00:36:17 |
but l, uh, |
| 00:36:21 |
- Um... |
| 00:36:23 |
Okay. Excuse me. |
| 00:36:26 |
Sorry. |
| 00:36:30 |
- I'll act as lead counsel. |
| 00:36:32 |
We were gonna |
| 00:36:35 |
Coffee time. |
| 00:36:41 |
The guy's a cheat. |
| 00:36:44 |
Right now, he's over at Chesterfield's, |
| 00:36:47 |
with every lousy second |
| 00:36:49 |
Shit. I told him. |
| 00:36:51 |
Nobody saw... I heard it. |
| 00:36:55 |
I didn't know him, |
| 00:36:57 |
I turn around, and I see him |
| 00:37:00 |
- You want one? |
| 00:37:02 |
I tried to warn him, but |
| 00:37:05 |
- All right, I'll go get him. |
| 00:37:07 |
Most of those Georges are at the tail |
| 00:37:10 |
They can't see straight. |
| 00:37:14 |
But if he's still there |
| 00:37:16 |
he's gonna wish he was |
| 00:37:18 |
I'm gonna go get him. |
| 00:37:22 |

held to his father's maxim... |
| 00:37:28 |
"You can shear a sheep many times, |
| 00:37:31 |
Gotta bet my jacks. |
| 00:37:34 |
This is a lesson |
| 00:37:37 |
- [Speaking Russian] |
| 00:37:39 |
English only at the table, |
| 00:37:41 |
- What are you talking about? |
| 00:37:45 |
If you want to see |
| 00:37:47 |
- Oh, da, motherfucker. |
| 00:37:50 |
I'm sure you're just talking |
| 00:37:52 |
and snow and shit, but let's |
| 00:37:54 |
There's the river, |
| 00:37:58 |
I think you got that ace, |
| 00:38:03 |
Okay, well, |
| 00:38:05 |
- Ace. |
| 00:38:07 |
Wow, two pair. |
| 00:38:09 |
- With my jacks. |
| 00:38:13 |
You said just jacks. |
| 00:38:15 |
But you made me for the sevens, |
| 00:38:17 |
- Fuck! |
| 00:38:20 |
- Hey, Maurice. |
| 00:38:22 |
Hey, Mike, you here to play? |
| 00:38:25 |
They're putting a fucking bracelet |
| 00:38:28 |
- I already stuck two racks. |
| 00:38:31 |
Can I talk to you |
| 00:38:33 |
No, man, I'm on a roll. |
| 00:38:36 |
Gotta do it. |
| 00:38:38 |
- [Speaking In Russian] |
| 00:38:40 |
Leave it. |
| 00:38:42 |
[Speaking In Russian] |
| 00:38:48 |
- What's going on? |
| 00:38:50 |
I was pumped up eight G's. I was ready |
| 00:38:54 |
- All right, listen. |
| 00:38:57 |
You're in town for five fuckin' minutes, |
| 00:39:00 |
Oh, what, that fuckin' Knish |
| 00:39:03 |
You gotta stop listening |
| 00:39:05 |
He sees all the angles, but |
| 00:39:07 |
Hey, that guy hasn't had to |
| 00:39:09 |
You don't think that's work, |
| 00:39:12 |
Grinding it out on his fuckin' |
| 00:39:14 |
I thought so, too, all right? |
| 00:39:17 |
Speaking of which, |
| 00:39:20 |
Or are you just gonna go back |
| 00:39:22 |
- Huh? You gonna go away again? |
| 00:39:25 |
I was distributing. Distributing. |
| 00:39:27 |
Second of all, I'm never |
| 00:39:30 |
Stop worrying |
| 00:39:32 |
Come here. |
| 00:39:36 |
I just want you to think |
| 00:39:39 |
Every place in Manhattan, |
| 00:39:42 |
If you get listed as a mechanic, |
| 00:39:46 |
you're not gonna get a fuckin' game |
| 00:39:48 |
It's stupid. |
| 00:39:51 |
Look, this is what I love about you... |
| 00:39:54 |
That's great, okay? |
| 00:39:56 |
I don't play the game straight up, |
| 00:39:58 |
go get some real work |
| 00:40:00 |
I see a mark, |
| 00:40:02 |
That's what I do. |
| 00:40:04 |
I know. Listen, you're the guy |
| 00:40:07 |
- But I'm not the guy |
| 00:40:10 |
I'm not gonna preach to you, but those |
| 00:40:13 |
Roman and Maurice? |
| 00:40:17 |
Not as bad as KGB, but you don't want |
| 00:40:20 |
With those fake |
| 00:40:24 |
Look, you still got time. |
| 00:40:28 |
Lose their fuckin' money |
| 00:40:30 |
Just make it look good. |
| 00:40:32 |
- Give it back to 'em. |
| 00:40:34 |
I gotta put some scratch together, man. |
| 00:40:37 |
Then go out to suburbia, man. Play |
| 00:40:40 |
- Go to Swan Meadow, |
| 00:40:44 |
I'll definitely do that, |
| 00:40:48 |
You got to. |
| 00:40:51 |
All right, |
| 00:40:53 |
Meet me at Stromboli's |
| 00:40:56 |
I can't, I gotta go. |
| 00:40:58 |
And then I gotta go to fuckin' Queens. |
| 00:41:00 |
Jesus, man, you're such |
| 00:41:02 |
- Make it look good. |
| 00:41:18 |
- So, how'd you do? |
| 00:41:22 |
Six thousand, |
| 00:41:24 |
Oh, hold on. |
| 00:41:28 |
All right, so it's |
| 00:41:30 |
take back the two we lent you, |
| 00:41:32 |
You know what? |
| 00:41:34 |
Why don't you give me |
| 00:41:37 |
Usually, credit players |
| 00:41:39 |
Otherwise, the juice starts |
| 00:41:41 |
Oh, okay. |
| 00:41:46 |
[Sighs] |
| 00:41:59 |
Hey. I've been looking |
| 00:42:03 |
Didn't want to |
| 00:42:05 |
You know, Petrovsky waited and waited. |
| 00:42:08 |
- Jo, look, I missed one meeting. |
| 00:42:11 |
I don't care about the meeting. Do |
| 00:42:15 |
- I found that gangster's roll |
| 00:42:18 |
- It's not what you think. |
| 00:42:22 |
Look, old days at least |
| 00:42:25 |
You lost everything, |
| 00:42:30 |
Jo, this wasn't even a real game. |
| 00:42:34 |
- Can you lose your rent |
| 00:42:36 |
- That's the point. |
| 00:42:38 |
I watched you, I stood by you while |
| 00:42:41 |
- I don't think I can go |
| 00:42:44 |
Why does this still seem |
| 00:42:46 |
Why do you think the same five guys |
| 00:42:49 |
at the World Series of Poker |
| 00:42:52 |
What are they, the luckiest guys |
| 00:42:54 |
- It's a skill game, Jo. |
| 00:42:58 |
- Because I knew you wouldn't understand. |
| 00:43:02 |
Last night, I sat down |
| 00:43:06 |
I felt alive for the first time since |
| 00:43:11 |
You just told me you felt alive for |
| 00:43:15 |
- No, what... |
| 00:43:25 |
[Sighs] |
| 00:43:30 |
[Rock] |
| 00:43:44 |
Midnight, gettin' uptight |
| 00:43:48 |
- You said you need me |
| 00:43:51 |
Hey, fuckin' Grama. |
| 00:43:53 |
- I was just thinkin' about you. |
| 00:43:56 |
See me in, like, two weeks. |
| 00:43:58 |
Well, I got some bad news for ya, Worm. |
| 00:44:03 |
- Really? |
| 00:44:05 |
Go figure. |
| 00:44:07 |
There were a lot of angry people when |
| 00:44:11 |
I know, Grama, that's why I'm trying |
| 00:44:13 |
A lot of people coming up to me, |
| 00:44:15 |
asking if I knew |
| 00:44:17 |
- So, it got me to thinkin'. |
| 00:44:20 |
Hey, Jesus! Come on! |
| 00:44:23 |
It's just |
| 00:44:26 |
Hey! Easy, easy, easy, easy. |
| 00:44:29 |
Get the fuck outta here. |
| 00:44:32 |
- Hey, man, take it easy! |
| 00:44:37 |
Okay. |
| 00:44:40 |
Instead of you owing 15 grand spread out |
| 00:44:44 |
What? Where the fuck |
| 00:44:46 |
Where the fuck |
| 00:44:49 |
[Grunts] |
| 00:44:51 |
Here's how it is. 25 grand, |
| 00:44:55 |
Jesus Christ. |
| 00:44:57 |
What the fuck are you doin', man? |
| 00:45:00 |
No, no, |
| 00:45:02 |
But I learned |
| 00:45:04 |
I consolidated |
| 00:45:08 |
[Scoffs] Where'd you get |
| 00:45:11 |
You've been rolling fags |
| 00:45:14 |
- Still a wise ass. Unbelievable. |
| 00:45:17 |
What I did was go partners |
| 00:45:19 |
Teddy KGB backed me. |
| 00:45:23 |
Bullshit. |
| 00:45:26 |
[Spits] |
| 00:45:30 |
Why would he put you |
| 00:45:32 |
Because as soon as he heard your name, |
| 00:45:37 |
What, so you bought me up, Grama? |
| 00:45:40 |
Yeah, got a real sweet deal, too. |
| 00:45:43 |
There's not a lot of faith in you |
| 00:45:46 |
Great, so you're a banker now, Grama. |
| 00:45:49 |
Not exactly. I don't have to tell you |
| 00:45:53 |
[Sighs] |
| 00:45:55 |
Just take it easy, |
| 00:45:57 |
I'll scrape something together, |
| 00:45:59 |
- That's just what I figured. |
| 00:46:02 |
- So I'm gonna take what you |
| 00:46:05 |
Have yourself |
| 00:46:09 |
[Sighs, Chuckles] |
| 00:46:11 |
[Groans] |
| 00:46:14 |
Damn! |
| 00:46:29 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:46:42 |
Mind if I sit? |
| 00:46:44 |
Michael. |
| 00:46:47 |
Please, please. |
| 00:46:52 |
That was a nifty trick |
| 00:46:56 |
- It was wonderful. |
| 00:46:58 |
Marinacci and the D.A. were ready to cut |
| 00:47:02 |
[Chuckles] |
| 00:47:05 |
Of course, |
| 00:47:09 |
you pulled today |
| 00:47:11 |
- Yeah. Well, I figure |
| 00:47:16 |
I'm sure there's |
| 00:47:18 |
You'll just have to |
| 00:47:20 |
- [Chuckles] |
| 00:47:24 |
Right. Yeah. |
| 00:47:27 |
- Okay, well, thanks. |
| 00:47:32 |
- Jamie? |
| 00:47:34 |
- Another glass, darling. |
| 00:47:37 |
- What are you drinking? |
| 00:47:39 |
- Here you go. |
| 00:47:41 |
Thank you. |
| 00:47:43 |
I know a magician doesn't |
| 00:47:47 |
[Chuckles] |
| 00:47:49 |
Well, if it wasn't magic, |
| 00:47:53 |
how did you know |
| 00:47:56 |
It's a combination |
| 00:47:59 |
Um, I was watching |
| 00:48:01 |
That's... That's just an old habit |
| 00:48:05 |
You watch the cards. |
| 00:48:07 |
I watch the cards also, but I watch |
| 00:48:11 |
That's how I knew the D.A. |
| 00:48:14 |
and Judge Kaplan |
| 00:48:16 |
I was watching their eyes |
| 00:48:18 |
- Their faces tell you everything. |
| 00:48:22 |
l... I never knew you had |
| 00:48:32 |
All right, here's the thing. |
| 00:48:35 |
You only start |
| 00:48:38 |
nines or better wired, |
| 00:48:41 |
If it's good enough to call, you gotta |
| 00:48:44 |
I mean, tight, but aggressive. |
| 00:48:48 |
I mean, you gotta... |
| 00:48:51 |
You are officially never |
| 00:48:57 |
I don't blame you. Put a guy |
| 00:49:01 |
I'll play it blind. |
| 00:49:05 |
Michael, |
| 00:49:08 |
- May I tell you a story? |
| 00:49:11 |
For generations, |
| 00:49:17 |
In Israel, |
| 00:49:20 |
It was to be my calling. |
| 00:49:23 |
The pride of my yeshiva. |
| 00:49:26 |
The elders said I had |
| 00:49:28 |
of the midrash |
| 00:49:32 |
But by the time |
| 00:49:36 |
I knew I could never |
| 00:49:38 |
Why not? |
| 00:49:40 |
Because for all |
| 00:49:45 |
I never saw |
| 00:49:48 |
- You couldn't lie to yourself. |
| 00:49:51 |
Tried like crazy. |
| 00:49:53 |
I mean, people were |
| 00:49:56 |
But yours is |
| 00:50:00 |
Not to my family. |
| 00:50:02 |
My parents were destroyed, |
| 00:50:08 |
My father sent me away |
| 00:50:13 |
to live |
| 00:50:16 |
Eventually, l... |
| 00:50:19 |
my life's work. |
| 00:50:23 |
What then? |
| 00:50:26 |
I immersed myself fully, |
| 00:50:29 |
I learned everything I could |
| 00:50:31 |
I mean, I felt deeply inside |
| 00:50:37 |
- And did your parents get over it? |
| 00:50:41 |
I always hoped |
| 00:50:45 |
some way to change |
| 00:50:52 |
They were |
| 00:50:55 |
My father never spoke |
| 00:51:03 |
If you had to do it |
| 00:51:06 |
would you make |
| 00:51:10 |
What choice? |
| 00:51:16 |
The last thing I took away |
| 00:51:21 |
We can't run |
| 00:51:26 |
Our destiny chooses us. |
| 00:51:31 |
Hey. |
| 00:51:55 |
Hey. |
| 00:51:57 |
Hey, where you been? |
| 00:51:59 |
- What happened? |
| 00:52:02 |
- What happened? |
| 00:52:06 |
- Just mind your own business. |
| 00:52:08 |
No, I've been standing out here |
| 00:52:10 |
Listen, things haven't |
| 00:52:13 |
so tone it down |
| 00:52:16 |
- Tone down what, motherfucker? |
| 00:52:18 |
- Never mind. |
| 00:52:23 |
When you become a big shot lawyer, |
| 00:52:26 |
Shut up. |
| 00:52:32 |
What, did you |
| 00:52:35 |
Um, not exactly. |
| 00:52:39 |
Wait, wait, wait. |
| 00:52:43 |
[Scoffs] |
| 00:52:47 |
Oh, my God. Mike, she made off |
| 00:52:52 |
I always told her she'd be |
| 00:52:54 |
- Know exactly when |
| 00:52:58 |
This girl is obviously |
| 00:53:00 |
No, she was a good... I knew it. |
| 00:53:10 |
[Sighs] |
| 00:53:12 |
You can't trust 'em. |
| 00:53:14 |
I mean, look at you. |
| 00:53:18 |
You took yourself out of the life. |
| 00:53:20 |
And the minute you want a little |
| 00:53:24 |
It's just like |
| 00:53:27 |
In the poker game of life, |
| 00:53:32 |
- They are the fuckin' rake. |
| 00:53:35 |
What saying? |
| 00:53:39 |
I don't know. |
| 00:53:46 |
- You know what cheers me up |
| 00:53:51 |
Rolled up aces over kings. |
| 00:53:57 |
- That right? |
| 00:53:59 |
Check raising stupid tourists |
| 00:54:04 |
- Yeah? |
| 00:54:08 |
Playin' all night, |
| 00:54:13 |
- Where the sand turns to gold. |
| 00:54:18 |
- Don't tease me. |
| 00:54:34 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:54:36 |
is the center of |
| 00:54:39 |
Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, |
| 00:54:42 |
The legends consider it |
| 00:54:44 |
Every couple of days |
| 00:54:46 |
wanting to beat |
| 00:54:48 |
Usually they go home |
| 00:54:51 |
Down here, the millionaires are scarce |
| 00:54:53 |
but there's still |
| 00:54:56 |
In fact, on the weekends |
| 00:54:58 |
because all the New York rounders |
| 00:55:01 |
Hey, hey, why don't you warm up |
| 00:55:05 |
- What? |
| 00:55:07 |
- I got certain needs |
| 00:55:10 |
- I mean, I'm overdue. |
| 00:55:13 |
I thought, maybe, you know, |
| 00:55:17 |
Hey, in your dreams, |
| 00:55:28 |
- Hey, Mikey! |
| 00:55:30 |
This is beautiful. |
| 00:55:34 |
- Ho! |
| 00:55:36 |
Come all the way to Atlantic City |
| 00:55:39 |
Twice in one week. |
| 00:55:41 |
For someone who don't play, you spend |
| 00:55:44 |
This is what |
| 00:55:46 |
Mike McDermott where he belongs... |
| 00:55:49 |
Tellin' jokes, |
| 00:55:52 |
Occasional? Yeah, like my ex-wife |
| 00:55:56 |
Forget her, Face. I was actually gonna |
| 00:56:01 |
But in honor of Mike's |
| 00:56:04 |
I'll sit with you all |
| 00:56:06 |
Hey, don't do us |
| 00:56:08 |
- They're about to go to |
| 00:56:12 |
I raise. You know, if we wanted |
| 00:56:15 |
we could have just |
| 00:56:19 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 00:56:21 |
what they're about to |
| 00:56:25 |
Down here to have a good time, |
| 00:56:27 |
why not give poker a try? |
| 00:56:30 |
After all, how different |
| 00:56:32 |
they've played |
| 00:56:36 |
All the luck in the world isn't |
| 00:56:41 |
They're simply overmatched. |
| 00:56:46 |
We're not playing together, |
| 00:56:50 |
It's like the Nature Channel. You don't |
| 00:57:02 |
They wear their tells |
| 00:57:06 |
Facial tics, nervous fingers. |
| 00:57:09 |
A hand over a mouth. |
| 00:57:11 |
The way a cigarette |
| 00:57:14 |
Little unconscious gestures |
| 00:57:17 |
We catch everything. |
| 00:57:19 |
If a fish acts strong, |
| 00:57:22 |
If he acts meek, |
| 00:57:31 |
- How are you, you workaholics? |
| 00:57:34 |
Good to see ya. |
| 00:57:37 |
Number's changed, |
| 00:57:39 |
Lotta games this weekend, |
| 00:57:41 |
- I'll give you a ring. |
| 00:57:43 |
Do they allow people like you |
| 00:57:45 |
Zagosh, when you get yourself a job, |
| 00:57:49 |
How about that? |
| 00:57:51 |
Now, let's get started, |
| 00:57:54 |
I'm sorry, sir. |
| 00:57:56 |
You can't take chips |
| 00:57:58 |
We all know each other here. |
| 00:58:01 |
We're like friends, so if nobody |
| 00:58:03 |
- It's all right. |
| 00:58:05 |
- Sir, you have to buy 'em from me. |
| 00:58:10 |
Fuck this low-limit shit. |
| 00:58:15 |
I want to talk to you. |
| 00:58:17 |
Look who's treatin' |
| 00:58:19 |
Don't let that M.S.G. fuck |
| 00:58:22 |
You keep grinding out that rent money, |
| 00:58:27 |
So, hey, uh, |
| 00:58:30 |
What's with |
| 00:58:34 |
- I'm on empty, that's why. |
| 00:58:36 |
I mean... |
| 00:58:38 |
- Mike, please. Relaxation therapist. |
| 00:58:43 |
Okay? |
| 00:58:45 |
- It's not where it went. |
| 00:58:47 |
It went to |
| 00:58:49 |
I told you, man, you didn't have to |
| 00:58:52 |
Take a little money |
| 00:58:55 |
Hey, that's not |
| 00:58:59 |
- I ran into Grama tonight. |
| 00:59:01 |
Yeah. He took |
| 00:59:03 |
You're kiddin' me. |
| 00:59:08 |
Well, he's sorta |
| 00:59:10 |
This fucker went around |
| 00:59:13 |
That turncoat motherfucker. |
| 00:59:17 |
So what do you owe him? |
| 00:59:19 |
I don't know. By his crazy fuckin' |
| 00:59:21 |
Like, 15. |
| 00:59:23 |
- Fifteen? Fifteen? |
| 00:59:26 |
He says the juice has been running |
| 00:59:30 |
- So, it's just like... |
| 00:59:32 |
Why did you not tell me that? |
| 00:59:34 |
- I had the... I had the money. |
| 00:59:37 |
I'm not gonna sit in the can and have |
| 00:59:39 |
I'm not a leech, |
| 00:59:41 |
We can help each other, like always. |
| 00:59:44 |
That's... That's why we gotta |
| 00:59:47 |
- Do you hear what I'm saying? |
| 00:59:49 |
- Listen, man, I'll help you. |
| 00:59:51 |
- I mean, fuck that guy. |
| 00:59:59 |
How long |
| 01:00:01 |
I suggest we wait another five minutes, |
| 01:00:10 |
Here he comes. |
| 01:00:14 |
Mr. McDermott, |
| 01:00:18 |
I'm so sorry I'm late. |
| 01:00:21 |
Come to order in the matter |
| 01:00:25 |
The facts have been stipulated, |
| 01:00:29 |
Lead counsel for plaintiff, |
| 01:00:34 |
please proceed |
| 01:00:38 |
If that is convenient |
| 01:00:43 |
Yes, it is, and again, |
| 01:00:47 |
Um... |
| 01:00:49 |
Well, I think clearly |
| 01:00:53 |
the case which controls the issue at bar |
| 01:00:58 |
- Which holds... |
| 01:01:01 |
Mr. McDermott, that is a Supreme Court |
| 01:01:05 |
that has no bearing |
| 01:01:08 |
Each group was apprised to ignore |
| 01:01:12 |
and focus instead on the idea |
| 01:01:17 |
Right. Um, well... |
| 01:01:20 |
Mr. McDermott has |
| 01:01:22 |
so I'll take over, |
| 01:01:24 |
Someone saying something meaningful |
| 01:01:30 |
What we have here is a clear case |
| 01:01:33 |
impacting schoolchildren |
| 01:01:36 |
that was created solely |
| 01:01:39 |
Although not dispositive, the student |
| 01:01:43 |
Well, that |
| 01:01:45 |
Usually you have to know something about |
| 01:01:49 |
Guys, what... |
| 01:01:52 |
Hey, it worked out great |
| 01:01:56 |
Jo. |
| 01:01:59 |
- Jo. Jo. |
| 01:02:02 |
We're not gonna talk? |
| 01:02:06 |
- You make it sound |
| 01:02:09 |
I came home and you were gone. |
| 01:02:14 |
I learned it |
| 01:02:16 |
You always told me |
| 01:02:19 |
Rule number one: Throw in your cards |
| 01:02:22 |
- Fold the hand. |
| 01:02:25 |
It's not some |
| 01:02:28 |
I know exactly what |
| 01:02:36 |
So, that's the last |
| 01:02:41 |
Yeah. |
| 01:02:45 |
[Scoffs] |
| 01:02:52 |
I mean, I'd say good luck, but I know |
| 01:03:06 |
[Announcer] |
| 01:03:08 |
and yet |
| 01:03:10 |
Chan is trying to sucker him in |
| 01:03:16 |
Oh, look at that look |
| 01:03:19 |
And now Fifth Street, |
| 01:03:23 |
Johnny Chan has |
| 01:03:27 |
Will Eric Seidel |
| 01:03:31 |
Yes, he's going all in, |
| 01:03:34 |
Johnny Chan, the master... |
| 01:03:39 |
- Yes, he's going all in, |
| 01:03:44 |
- Hello. |
| 01:03:50 |
Yeah, I'll buzz you in. |
| 01:03:52 |
[Buzzing] |
| 01:03:56 |
Well, that's the important thing |
| 01:03:59 |
You're never down and out |
| 01:04:04 |
- Hey. |
| 01:04:06 |
- How you doing? |
| 01:04:10 |
- [TV: Man Continues Speaking] |
| 01:04:16 |
Looks about the same. |
| 01:04:18 |
- You want some scotch or something? |
| 01:04:22 |
- Oh, '88 World Series, huh? |
| 01:04:27 |
Johnny Chan. |
| 01:04:29 |
Flops the nut straight and |
| 01:04:32 |
He knows Seidel's |
| 01:04:35 |
- [Announcer] |
| 01:04:38 |
Chan is trying to sucker him in |
| 01:04:42 |
Look at the control. |
| 01:04:45 |
He knows his man well enough |
| 01:04:48 |
and risk winning nothing |
| 01:04:51 |
He owns him. |
| 01:04:53 |
[Announcer] |
| 01:04:56 |
Yes, he's going all in |
| 01:04:59 |
- Johnny Chan, the master. |
| 01:05:04 |
Yeah, I know |
| 01:05:06 |
It's like a locomotive |
| 01:05:10 |
You feel gut-shot. Fuck it. |
| 01:05:14 |
What's going on? |
| 01:05:18 |
- Tomorrow's a week. |
| 01:05:24 |
The first two thousand |
| 01:05:27 |
- Oh. Worm. |
| 01:05:31 |
He'd just won eight grand. |
| 01:05:34 |
So, he took, what, about eight |
| 01:05:38 |
Yeah, yeah, he comes in |
| 01:05:42 |
sits for like |
| 01:05:44 |
cashes out |
| 01:05:47 |
Maurice hasn't been back since. I think |
| 01:05:51 |
But, uh, Worm's |
| 01:05:55 |
He's run you up |
| 01:06:00 |
Well, do me a favor |
| 01:06:04 |
- Yeah? |
| 01:06:07 |
Um, I tell ya, |
| 01:06:09 |
I got a thou. |
| 01:06:12 |
I just started |
| 01:06:14 |
- Thanks for making it easy, Mike. |
| 01:06:21 |
I'm, uh... I'm sorry to be back |
| 01:06:24 |
- Don't worry about it. |
| 01:06:28 |
It's good |
| 01:06:35 |
- I can stay. |
| 01:06:38 |
I'll come... I'll come... |
| 01:06:41 |
- I'll come by this week. |
| 01:07:00 |
[Glass Shatters] |
| 01:07:24 |
I know you're in here. |
| 01:07:33 |
Mike? |
| 01:07:35 |
Hey. I thought you |
| 01:07:38 |
It's a good thing Grama |
| 01:07:41 |
Come on. I'll play ya horse. |
| 01:07:44 |
Yeah? When I win, are you gonna pay |
| 01:07:48 |
Oh, oh, easy. Relax. Don't wing it. |
| 01:07:57 |
You need to work |
| 01:07:59 |
Will you stop fucking around |
| 01:08:03 |
Whoa, Jesus. What happened? |
| 01:08:06 |
I should fucking beat the shit |
| 01:08:12 |
You remember when we found |
| 01:08:17 |
Yeah, I remember |
| 01:08:19 |
You were hiding from Tommy Manzy |
| 01:08:23 |
Yeah, now, see? |
| 01:08:26 |
- You fucked his mother. |
| 01:08:30 |
Yeah, but she was a good-Iooking |
| 01:08:33 |
You spent a year of your life hiding in |
| 01:08:37 |
until he pissed off |
| 01:08:41 |
What do you want me to say? Those |
| 01:08:44 |
Nothing's changed. |
| 01:08:46 |
You were hiding from your troubles then. |
| 01:08:49 |
I like to hide, and that's |
| 01:08:51 |
I don't like |
| 01:08:53 |
It's like I used to have a running |
| 01:08:56 |
If we fucked up back then |
| 01:08:58 |
the worst thing that was going to happen |
| 01:09:02 |
But, man, you're fixing to go down hard, |
| 01:09:07 |
Stop worrying so much about me, okay? |
| 01:09:09 |
I'm not gonna let anybody |
| 01:09:12 |
No, no, you're gonna get out of the way. |
| 01:09:15 |
I'll see ya. |
| 01:09:21 |
Come on, Mike. Hey. |
| 01:09:27 |
I'm sorry, okay? |
| 01:09:29 |
I should've told you. |
| 01:09:31 |
It's just... What do you want me to say? |
| 01:09:35 |
l, like, just get out, |
| 01:09:38 |
I need something to get goin'. |
| 01:09:41 |
And? |
| 01:09:43 |
Well, I'm not gonna lie. |
| 01:09:46 |
- Some reversals. |
| 01:09:51 |
I mean, I caught a frozen wave of cards |
| 01:09:55 |
I think I'm getting you outta hock, |
| 01:09:59 |
I know, man. I was really... |
| 01:10:02 |
I was cruising along. |
| 01:10:04 |
I tried to beat that blackjack game |
| 01:10:07 |
- That place is a mitt joint. |
| 01:10:11 |
I got so good with this, |
| 01:10:14 |
You're really jamming me up |
| 01:10:16 |
- I know. |
| 01:10:21 |
- I understand. That's okay. |
| 01:10:23 |
- You gotta square things |
| 01:10:26 |
I'm not talking |
| 01:10:29 |
You think |
| 01:10:34 |
[Mike Narrating] I know all |
| 01:10:37 |
but sometimes |
| 01:10:40 |
You see, no one's |
| 01:10:43 |
The guy's been kicked around |
| 01:10:49 |
Maybe he's not the same guy |
| 01:10:52 |
but I can't give up on him |
| 01:10:55 |
I'm all he's got. |
| 01:10:57 |
Oh, what the hell. |
| 01:11:03 |
- Hi, boys. |
| 01:11:05 |
You cops? |
| 01:11:08 |
- We're not cops. |
| 01:11:12 |
No, no, we're just here |
| 01:11:19 |
Jesus. |
| 01:11:23 |
- You sure about this? |
| 01:11:26 |
Just let me do |
| 01:11:34 |
[Mike] |
| 01:11:36 |
- Long time. |
| 01:11:39 |
Hey, Worm. It's good you came. |
| 01:11:43 |
So, did you bring him along |
| 01:11:47 |
Uh, there's no money today. |
| 01:11:49 |
No money? |
| 01:11:52 |
Come on. Get outta here. |
| 01:11:56 |
He's not kidding. |
| 01:11:58 |
You owe 25. I'll take |
| 01:12:02 |
- Five grand in a week, |
| 01:12:05 |
- [Dog Growling] |
| 01:12:09 |
[Dog Growling] |
| 01:12:13 |
- [Whimpering, Thud] |
| 01:12:16 |
- Christ. |
| 01:12:18 |
You can't let 'em get away with it |
| 01:12:22 |
- [Sighs] So, where were we? |
| 01:12:26 |
In a week. Grama, we want what |
| 01:12:30 |
But three days... three days |
| 01:12:34 |
No one's saying you're not the man. Just |
| 01:12:37 |
Look, he just got out. |
| 01:12:41 |
No, no, no, no, no. |
| 01:12:43 |
We're not negotiating here. |
| 01:12:46 |
Well, then, I'm asking. |
| 01:12:50 |
So, you're looking for a |
| 01:12:54 |
You know what, Grama? |
| 01:12:57 |
- Shut the fuck up! |
| 01:13:01 |
- Hey, listen! He's good for it. |
| 01:13:03 |
If you think he's good for it, |
| 01:13:06 |
Then it's on me too. |
| 01:13:08 |
- Fifteen large, five days, |
| 01:13:11 |
Get the fuck outta here. |
| 01:13:14 |
Piece of shit. |
| 01:13:17 |
Now, what the hell |
| 01:13:19 |
I'm not gonna get down on my knees |
| 01:13:22 |
All I said is just keep |
| 01:13:24 |
- Shit. I'm sorry. |
| 01:13:27 |
That's it. |
| 01:13:30 |
No, 15 grand in five days. |
| 01:13:35 |
Ah, under optimum conditions |
| 01:13:39 |
- But what have you got on you? |
| 01:13:42 |
Ah, that's 1,200 between us. |
| 01:13:46 |
No, man, no. Listen. Find the games, |
| 01:13:49 |
You know, we might have |
| 01:13:52 |
if we sat together |
| 01:13:54 |
I'm not gonna do that. |
| 01:13:57 |
- Oh, fuck, man. |
| 01:13:59 |
- Well, where do you wanna start? |
| 01:14:02 |
Come on, listen... there's the 4:00 a.m. |
| 01:14:06 |
All right, there's |
| 01:14:08 |
- I know a guy |
| 01:14:11 |
- There's four. |
| 01:14:14 |
- It's like an easy clean. |
| 01:14:18 |
- You sure you're up for this? |
| 01:14:20 |
An 80. |
| 01:14:29 |
I bet the full amount. |
| 01:14:32 |
The full amount, huh? |
| 01:14:38 |
Nope. You didn't do it this time. |
| 01:14:52 |
- [Woman] I don't know. |
| 01:14:55 |
[Woman] |
| 01:14:57 |
A nice, nutty finish. |
| 01:15:00 |
I love the Cameroon wrapper |
| 01:15:06 |
I'll call. |
| 01:15:10 |
I have what's |
| 01:15:12 |
It's got earthy tones, a smooth draw, |
| 01:15:17 |
Call. |
| 01:15:19 |
- Trip aces. |
| 01:15:24 |
- Jacks. |
| 01:15:27 |
Does he look like a man |
| 01:15:30 |
Jacks are a monster compared |
| 01:15:33 |
- Ah, fuck you. Fuck you. |
| 01:15:37 |
[Man] |
| 01:15:40 |
[Mike] |
| 01:15:43 |
- Make it five. |
| 01:15:48 |
I call your 300. |
| 01:15:50 |
- How much is in there, Weitz? |
| 01:15:54 |
[Man] |
| 01:15:57 |
I bet you |
| 01:15:59 |
[Weitz] |
| 01:16:02 |
You might want to leave |
| 01:16:05 |
There's a lot more |
| 01:16:12 |
Take it down. |
| 01:16:13 |
I got shit. |
| 01:16:16 |
- [Laughing] |
| 01:16:18 |
Get up. Get off your ass. |
| 01:16:22 |
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere... |
| 01:16:25 |
Buy some real jewelry, |
| 01:16:28 |
Unbelievable. |
| 01:16:30 |
- What were you doing in there? |
| 01:16:32 |
You didn't have it? |
| 01:16:34 |
Since when you have to have it to |
| 01:16:38 |
- A grade schooler would've |
| 01:16:41 |
Eventually, he was going to bluff |
| 01:16:44 |
We don't have time. |
| 01:16:48 |
The move was folding. I can't lose |
| 01:16:51 |
Oh, Jesus, you know what? |
| 01:16:55 |
Well, what |
| 01:17:01 |
That's like seven. |
| 01:17:03 |
With that pot you just dumped |
| 01:17:06 |
we would've had ten. |
| 01:17:08 |
Look at you. One 64-hour session, |
| 01:17:11 |
- No time for a fucking nap. |
| 01:17:14 |
Come on. |
| 01:17:16 |
I know... I got just the place |
| 01:17:19 |
[Man Singing In Italian] |
| 01:17:28 |
Feel like I'm gonna get whacked |
| 01:17:34 |
We got 7,300, Mike. |
| 01:17:40 |
Well, we're gonna get close. I'm sure |
| 01:17:44 |
We come up |
| 01:17:47 |
Grama will shoot us and bury us |
| 01:17:51 |
Now, I know this game |
| 01:17:54 |
- In Binghamton? |
| 01:17:56 |
It's like 16 or 17 guys. |
| 01:18:01 |
They come play right after |
| 01:18:05 |
Are you sure? Binghamton's |
| 01:18:09 |
Well, look, I figure there's |
| 01:18:14 |
If we get even half of that, |
| 01:18:17 |
Lead me to it. |
| 01:18:30 |
- Municipal workers, huh? |
| 01:18:35 |
They work for the state, |
| 01:18:38 |
Oh, this is |
| 01:18:41 |
Look, we're here, okay? |
| 01:18:44 |
- You got any better ideas? |
| 01:18:48 |
No, it's easy. |
| 01:18:52 |
This one guy, Pete Frye, I probably lost |
| 01:18:57 |
I mean, he thinks |
| 01:18:59 |
He told me anytime I wanted a game |
| 01:19:02 |
You just go in there, |
| 01:19:06 |
You're gonna clean this game up. |
| 01:19:09 |
All right. Give me, |
| 01:19:12 |
- Come back at 7:00, 7:30. |
| 01:19:16 |
- Why don't I come in? |
| 01:19:20 |
- No, not a chance. |
| 01:19:24 |
You wanna play straight? You go |
| 01:19:30 |
Aw, Jesus. |
| 01:19:32 |
All right, all right. I'll go find |
| 01:19:35 |
I don't know. |
| 01:19:37 |
[Chattering] |
| 01:19:41 |
Excuse me. |
| 01:19:43 |
- Can I help you? |
| 01:19:50 |
Yeah, right over there |
| 01:19:53 |
Thanks. |
| 01:20:00 |
Let's go. |
| 01:20:02 |
- Sean Frye? |
| 01:20:04 |
Yeah, your Uncle Pete told me |
| 01:20:08 |
You one |
| 01:20:12 |
Oh, no, no, no, no. |
| 01:20:16 |
- You know him from hunting then, huh? |
| 01:20:19 |
I met him over at, uh... He took me |
| 01:20:23 |
Well, that's the buy-in here. |
| 01:20:27 |
- Grab a seat. |
| 01:20:39 |
- How you doing? I'm Mike. |
| 01:20:41 |
- Osborne. |
| 01:20:44 |
Bet 40. |
| 01:20:46 |
- Back at ya. |
| 01:20:48 |
- All right. |
| 01:20:53 |
Another 40. |
| 01:20:55 |
All right, |
| 01:21:00 |
- Flush. |
| 01:21:02 |
[Mike Narrating] Generally, |
| 01:21:06 |
And these guys, despite being cops, |
| 01:21:11 |
I'm right on schedule, |
| 01:21:14 |
- The morning can't get here soon enough. |
| 01:21:18 |
[Worm] |
| 01:21:21 |
My grandfather got that one. |
| 01:21:23 |
- Hey, fellas. |
| 01:21:26 |
Met this guy down at the bowling alley. |
| 01:21:29 |
[Vitter] |
| 01:21:32 |
This is Whitley. Osborne. |
| 01:21:35 |
- Mike? How are ya? Les Murphy. |
| 01:21:38 |
- So, what are you guys playing? |
| 01:21:40 |
Okay. |
| 01:21:42 |
All right, |
| 01:21:44 |
Give him some chips, |
| 01:21:48 |
[Chattering] |
| 01:21:52 |
Everybody ante. |
| 01:21:59 |
Let's play some cards. |
| 01:22:12 |
- [Worm] Ace high bets. |
| 01:22:16 |
The bet is 20. |
| 01:22:18 |
I know that look. |
| 01:22:22 |
Fold too. |
| 01:22:24 |
I'll take it. |
| 01:22:28 |
- Yeah, everybody ready? Fourth Street. |
| 01:22:38 |
Raise you. |
| 01:22:40 |
- I'm in. |
| 01:22:44 |
A lot of action. |
| 01:22:52 |
- I got the flush. |
| 01:22:58 |
- Jesus. Who wants more? |
| 01:23:01 |
- I'm in. |
| 01:23:03 |
I'm staging |
| 01:23:07 |
Late-night rally. |
| 01:23:10 |
Okay? Just to... |
| 01:23:16 |
Ace high bets. |
| 01:23:20 |
Uh, ace checks. |
| 01:23:22 |
- Check. |
| 01:23:26 |
- Check. |
| 01:23:28 |
All right, free card. |
| 01:23:31 |
- Hold on there a fucking second. |
| 01:23:34 |
- Give me the deck. |
| 01:23:37 |
- [Vitter] |
| 01:23:40 |
- What are you... What? |
| 01:23:44 |
This son of a bitch |
| 01:23:46 |
- Caught a hanger, Sarge. |
| 01:23:49 |
I don't even know |
| 01:23:52 |
- He's saying you're dealing |
| 01:23:56 |
- What did he give him? |
| 01:23:59 |
- Seven of hearts. |
| 01:24:03 |
I was winning |
| 01:24:05 |
Okay, okay. Let's let the cards |
| 01:24:08 |
If the seven didn't help you, |
| 01:24:11 |
Ozzy, turn the cards. |
| 01:24:14 |
- [Murmuring] |
| 01:24:17 |
- Shut up! |
| 01:24:20 |
One last thing, Stu. |
| 01:24:23 |
- [Murmuring] |
| 01:24:25 |
Hey, all right, |
| 01:24:27 |
Aren't you supposed |
| 01:24:30 |
Here's your fuckin' rights! |
| 01:24:31 |
[All Shouting] |
| 01:24:35 |
Fuck you! |
| 01:24:50 |
Get the fuck outta here, |
| 01:24:57 |
Aw, Jesus! |
| 01:25:01 |
Worm. |
| 01:25:06 |
Worm? |
| 01:25:08 |
[Mike Groans] |
| 01:25:10 |
Hey, Les. |
| 01:25:12 |
Hey. |
| 01:25:14 |
Hey, you all right? |
| 01:25:17 |
Mike? |
| 01:25:19 |
Yeah. |
| 01:25:22 |
You should've played |
| 01:25:25 |
- Aw, you're an asshole. |
| 01:25:28 |
I know. I know. |
| 01:25:33 |
They took |
| 01:25:35 |
I think I got 300 |
| 01:25:41 |
Oh, look at you. |
| 01:25:44 |
Fuck, I cannot believe |
| 01:25:47 |
- Aw, it's never happened, |
| 01:25:52 |
- God, I think I cracked a rib. |
| 01:25:55 |
- I was trying to give us an edge. |
| 01:25:58 |
Hey, I'm sorry |
| 01:26:01 |
I took a shot and I missed. |
| 01:26:03 |
- Fucking happens |
| 01:26:07 |
You're the guy who flushed his whole |
| 01:26:10 |
- Oh, hey, fuck you, man. |
| 01:26:14 |
Why different, huh? |
| 01:26:17 |
How come all your moves |
| 01:26:20 |
and I'm always |
| 01:26:22 |
You act like you're the only one |
| 01:26:25 |
What's your ambition, man? Tell me. |
| 01:26:29 |
- I don't even know. |
| 01:26:32 |
No, I don't think |
| 01:26:34 |
You always think you can beat the game |
| 01:26:37 |
- I told you, I'm always gonna |
| 01:26:40 |
We owe 15 grand in a day. |
| 01:26:43 |
It's easy. We get |
| 01:26:46 |
We just steer clear |
| 01:26:49 |
We'll hit the road. We'll be up again |
| 01:26:52 |
- We'll have a ball. |
| 01:26:55 |
- You talk to Grama. |
| 01:27:00 |
We're not dealing with Grama. |
| 01:27:04 |
You said |
| 01:27:07 |
- You told me Grama's on his own. |
| 01:27:13 |
- So you've just fucked us |
| 01:27:17 |
So you see what I'm saying? |
| 01:27:21 |
Are you with me or not? |
| 01:27:25 |
No, I'm not this time. |
| 01:27:34 |
- Give me the keys. |
| 01:27:39 |
Yeah. |
| 01:27:43 |
I'll see you |
| 01:27:48 |
Hey. At least you're |
| 01:27:52 |
You're gonna thank me |
| 01:27:55 |
[Engine Starts] |
| 01:27:58 |
[Car Driving Away] |
| 01:28:06 |
[Mike Narrating] Fold or hang tough. |
| 01:28:10 |
These are decisions |
| 01:28:13 |
Sometimes the odds are stacked so clear, |
| 01:28:17 |
Other times, like holding a small pair |
| 01:28:21 |
it's six to five, |
| 01:28:23 |
Then it's all about feel, |
| 01:28:28 |
Well, look at you. |
| 01:28:30 |
Look at me. |
| 01:28:32 |
Come in. |
| 01:28:35 |
No. |
| 01:28:37 |
- Where's your friend? |
| 01:28:41 |
- He's gone. |
| 01:28:47 |
- I'm a little short. |
| 01:28:51 |
The whole way. |
| 01:28:53 |
There must be |
| 01:28:57 |
Well... |
| 01:28:59 |
as you can see, |
| 01:29:03 |
I see you're |
| 01:29:10 |
You never should've vouched |
| 01:29:16 |
Maybe not. |
| 01:29:20 |
- You're leaving me no outs here. |
| 01:29:23 |
I can't trust you two |
| 01:29:27 |
I'm not the one |
| 01:29:32 |
You wanna take it up with KGB, |
| 01:29:36 |
Otherwise, you got one day, |
| 01:29:42 |
[Door Slams] |
| 01:29:59 |
- Hey. |
| 01:30:11 |
You look like Duane Bobick |
| 01:30:15 |
- What the fuck happened to you? |
| 01:30:21 |
When are you |
| 01:30:24 |
I'm listening. |
| 01:30:26 |
What do you need? |
| 01:30:30 |
- Huh? |
| 01:30:33 |
- Fifteen? |
| 01:30:35 |
I need a blow job |
| 01:30:39 |
- Get the fuck outta here. $15,000? |
| 01:30:42 |
What can you do for me? |
| 01:30:46 |
Goddamn it, Mike, if 500 won't |
| 01:30:53 |
What kind of trouble |
| 01:30:55 |
I'm in the worst kind, |
| 01:30:58 |
- KGB? |
| 01:31:03 |
Come here. |
| 01:31:06 |
Didn't I tell you... |
| 01:31:08 |
to never let that guy |
| 01:31:11 |
- You told me a lot of things. |
| 01:31:15 |
I tell you to play within your means, |
| 01:31:18 |
I tell you not to |
| 01:31:20 |
you go into hock for more. |
| 01:31:23 |
I was giving you |
| 01:31:25 |
showing you the playbook |
| 01:31:29 |
That wasn't enough |
| 01:31:31 |
This is one time I don't need |
| 01:31:35 |
I know I fucked up. |
| 01:31:37 |
What I need from you |
| 01:31:40 |
- I need whatever money you can give me. |
| 01:31:43 |
This time |
| 01:31:46 |
I give you two grand, |
| 01:31:49 |
No, I give it to you, |
| 01:31:51 |
- That's fucking great. |
| 01:31:54 |
You had to put it all on the line |
| 01:31:57 |
Yeah, I took a risk. |
| 01:31:59 |
You see all the angles. |
| 01:32:02 |
"Stones"? |
| 01:32:06 |
I'm not playing for the thrill |
| 01:32:09 |
I owe rent, alimony, child support. |
| 01:32:14 |
My kids eat. |
| 01:32:16 |
I got stones enough |
| 01:32:19 |
or fucking pipe dreams |
| 01:32:22 |
You want me to, uh, |
| 01:32:25 |
try and buy you |
| 01:32:27 |
Place to stay, or the truck. |
| 01:32:30 |
But about the money, |
| 01:32:34 |
That's fine. |
| 01:32:41 |
- Hey, listen. |
| 01:32:44 |
I put it all on the line. |
| 01:32:47 |
And you know what? |
| 01:32:50 |
I wasn't unlucky. |
| 01:32:52 |
I got outplayed. |
| 01:32:57 |
But I know I'm good enough |
| 01:33:00 |
It's not... It's not |
| 01:33:02 |
I don't doubt your talent. |
| 01:33:05 |
I never... |
| 01:33:08 |
About eight, nine months ago, |
| 01:33:12 |
and I see Johnny Chan |
| 01:33:14 |
And he goes, |
| 01:33:16 |
And the whole place stops |
| 01:33:19 |
Everybody puts |
| 01:33:21 |
After a little while, |
| 01:33:24 |
'cause all the high rollers |
| 01:33:26 |
Some are playing with him, giving |
| 01:33:29 |
"Oh, I played |
| 01:33:31 |
And you know what I did? |
| 01:33:34 |
Nah, you need 50, 60 grand |
| 01:33:38 |
Well, I had six, |
| 01:33:41 |
What happened? |
| 01:33:43 |
Played tight for an hour. I folded |
| 01:33:46 |
- Wired aces or kings? |
| 01:33:51 |
I had nothing. |
| 01:33:54 |
And I just decided, you know, |
| 01:33:57 |
I'm just gonna |
| 01:33:59 |
I'm just gonna outplay |
| 01:34:02 |
- I re-raised. |
| 01:34:05 |
- You played right back at him, huh? |
| 01:34:08 |
And he just comes right |
| 01:34:10 |
trying to bully me like |
| 01:34:13 |
I hesitate for two seconds. |
| 01:34:15 |
And he makes a move toward his checks, |
| 01:34:18 |
And he looks at his cards, |
| 01:34:21 |
And he mucked it. |
| 01:34:25 |
"Did you have it?" |
| 01:34:31 |
I got up, and I walked |
| 01:34:34 |
I sat with the best |
| 01:34:38 |
You put a fucking move on Chan, |
| 01:34:42 |
So that's why you made |
| 01:34:45 |
That's right. |
| 01:34:47 |
And I'll do it again |
| 01:34:52 |
Well, then I'm rooting |
| 01:34:55 |
I'll see you around, |
| 01:34:59 |
This is temporary? |
| 01:35:03 |
Oh, I think we |
| 01:35:07 |
I hope my story |
| 01:35:10 |
No. It inspired me. |
| 01:35:15 |
- But now you're here. |
| 01:35:18 |
- You're in trouble? |
| 01:35:22 |
Uh, not with the law. |
| 01:35:27 |
- A gambling debt? |
| 01:35:31 |
It's not mine. It's, uh... |
| 01:35:36 |
Um, so now it's on me. |
| 01:35:39 |
I understand. |
| 01:35:43 |
So, what will it take |
| 01:35:48 |
- I need 15,000 tonight. |
| 01:35:51 |
Michael! |
| 01:35:58 |
- You know, I'm not |
| 01:36:01 |
And it kills me |
| 01:36:05 |
I don't have |
| 01:36:07 |
So, uh, if you can |
| 01:36:11 |
I hate to see you |
| 01:36:13 |
I want to help you, Michael. |
| 01:36:15 |
I know. |
| 01:36:17 |
[Sighs] |
| 01:36:24 |
If it must be tonight, |
| 01:36:28 |
then ten |
| 01:36:32 |
Would you do that? |
| 01:36:39 |
When my mother |
| 01:36:42 |
it nearly broke her. |
| 01:36:45 |
But she knew... |
| 01:36:51 |
To do that for another |
| 01:36:57 |
And for that, I owe. |
| 01:37:14 |
So you take this money... |
| 01:37:18 |
and you get yourself |
| 01:37:21 |
You hear me? |
| 01:37:28 |
I know you can. |
| 01:37:33 |
l... I promise that I'm gonna... |
| 01:37:38 |
Good luck. |
| 01:38:03 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 01:38:06 |
Short-stacked and long odds against, |
| 01:38:11 |
one last card in the deck |
| 01:38:15 |
I used to wonder how they could let |
| 01:38:19 |
and how the hell they thought |
| 01:38:30 |
Just walking in here |
| 01:38:32 |
The brick walls. |
| 01:38:35 |
The musty smell. I feel like Buckner |
| 01:38:40 |
But what choice do I have? |
| 01:38:42 |
So, you have my money? |
| 01:38:45 |
- I owe you that money tomorrow, right? |
| 01:38:50 |
So it's still mine. |
| 01:38:52 |
For the next eight hours, |
| 01:38:57 |
But if you |
| 01:39:00 |
then you are mine. |
| 01:39:03 |
Well... |
| 01:39:10 |
I got $10,000. |
| 01:39:16 |
- You sure? |
| 01:39:23 |
So, we'll play. Heads up. |
| 01:39:26 |
We both start |
| 01:39:29 |
Blinds, uh, 25 and 50? |
| 01:39:33 |
And we don't stop |
| 01:39:40 |
Let's do it. |
| 01:39:43 |
[Cards Shuffling] |
| 01:40:08 |
I'm gonna raise. |
| 01:40:10 |
Thousand straight. |
| 01:40:13 |
Very aggressive. |
| 01:40:15 |
A new day. |
| 01:40:18 |
And you won't be pushed around. |
| 01:40:22 |
But... I re-raise. |
| 01:40:26 |
Five thousand. |
| 01:40:31 |
[Mike Narrating] Doyle Brunson says, |
| 01:40:34 |
is to put a man to a decision |
| 01:40:37 |
Teddy's just done it. |
| 01:40:39 |
He's representing aces, |
| 01:40:42 |
I can't call and give him |
| 01:40:45 |
I can only fold, |
| 01:40:48 |
I re-raise. I'm all in. |
| 01:41:21 |
Take it down. |
| 01:41:31 |
In a heads-up match, |
| 01:41:33 |
the size of your stack is almost as |
| 01:41:38 |
I chopped one of his legs out |
| 01:41:40 |
- Now all I have to do is lean |
| 01:41:45 |
Bet a thousand. |
| 01:41:47 |
Call. I'll call. |
| 01:41:54 |
Check. |
| 01:41:57 |
What's that, 2,500 there? |
| 01:42:11 |
Jacks up. |
| 01:42:15 |
Very good. |
| 01:42:18 |
Good hand. |
| 01:42:21 |
Catching that Jack |
| 01:42:25 |
- You got lucky there. |
| 01:42:30 |
So, that's it then, hmm? |
| 01:42:34 |
Just like a young man |
| 01:42:39 |
I feel so unsatisfied. |
| 01:42:44 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:42:46 |
You must feel proud |
| 01:42:50 |
Strong enough |
| 01:42:54 |
- I feel fine. |
| 01:43:00 |
'Course maybe we check |
| 01:43:04 |
Grama! |
| 01:43:10 |
I thought I smelled him. |
| 01:43:12 |
I'll take what's ours. |
| 01:43:14 |
'Course you could |
| 01:43:17 |
Take your chances. |
| 01:43:21 |
Sure, partner. |
| 01:43:23 |
He still has till morning |
| 01:43:26 |
Uh, you know what? I got my |
| 01:43:31 |
- I'm going home. |
| 01:43:35 |
It's a fucking joke anyway. |
| 01:43:37 |
After all, I am paying you |
| 01:43:45 |
- What did you say? |
| 01:43:48 |
I am still up 20 grand... |
| 01:43:52 |
from this last time |
| 01:43:55 |
[Mike Narrating] They're trying |
| 01:44:00 |
But this isn't a gunfight. |
| 01:44:05 |
I can leave now, |
| 01:44:09 |
and halfway |
| 01:44:12 |
That's the safe play. |
| 01:44:14 |
I told Worm you can't lose |
| 01:44:18 |
- Deal 'em. |
| 01:44:24 |
Checks! |
| 01:44:28 |
- [Mike] Double the blinds? |
| 01:44:32 |
Table stakes. |
| 01:44:34 |
Good. Feel free |
| 01:44:39 |
[Speaking Russian] |
| 01:44:54 |
You must |
| 01:44:57 |
for not walking out |
| 01:45:04 |
Bad judgment. |
| 01:45:06 |
But... |
| 01:45:08 |
don't you worry, son. |
| 01:45:11 |
It will all be over soon. |
| 01:45:20 |
Okay. |
| 01:45:46 |
Check. |
| 01:45:50 |
No check here. |
| 01:46:08 |
I'm laying |
| 01:46:12 |
Top two pair. |
| 01:46:14 |
It's a monster hand, |
| 01:46:18 |
'cause you got two-four, and I'm |
| 01:46:27 |
Lays down a monster. |
| 01:46:37 |
Should have paid me off |
| 01:46:42 |
Why the fuck did you |
| 01:47:01 |
Wow. |
| 01:47:05 |
Mr. Son of a Bitch. |
| 01:47:08 |
Let's play some cards. |
| 01:47:11 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 01:47:13 |
You spot a man's tell, |
| 01:47:17 |
I finally spotted KGB's. |
| 01:47:19 |
And usually I would've let him |
| 01:47:23 |
But I don't have that kind of time. |
| 01:47:28 |
Not even Teddy KGB's immune |
| 01:47:32 |
Enough is enough, Teddy. |
| 01:47:36 |
Hanging around. |
| 01:47:39 |
Kid's got alligator blood. |
| 01:47:47 |
No, I'm not going anywhere. |
| 01:47:50 |
Okay. |
| 01:47:53 |
I call. |
| 01:48:04 |
Check. |
| 01:48:17 |
Two grand. |
| 01:48:23 |
All right, I'll call the two grand. |
| 01:48:25 |
Don't splash the pot. |
| 01:48:29 |
You're on a draw, Mike? |
| 01:48:33 |
This one |
| 01:48:35 |
And in my club, I will splash the pot |
| 01:48:41 |
Okay. |
| 01:48:48 |
[Sighs] |
| 01:48:51 |
I'm gonna check, Teddy. |
| 01:48:54 |
That's right. |
| 01:48:56 |
Big daddy... |
| 01:49:01 |
bets... |
| 01:49:04 |
the pot. |
| 01:49:10 |
That's 4,400. |
| 01:49:12 |
All right, I'm gonna call you, or else |
| 01:49:16 |
Respect is all you'll have left |
| 01:49:21 |
Last card coming. |
| 01:49:35 |
Check. |
| 01:49:37 |
It hurts, doesn't it? |
| 01:49:41 |
You can't believe |
| 01:49:45 |
All your dreams... dashed. |
| 01:49:49 |
Hopes down |
| 01:49:53 |
Your fate, he is sitting |
| 01:49:57 |
That ace could not |
| 01:50:00 |
[Chips Rattling] |
| 01:50:03 |
I bet it all. |
| 01:50:12 |
You're right, Teddy. |
| 01:50:18 |
I flopped |
| 01:50:22 |
Motherfucker! |
| 01:50:26 |
- Motherfucker! That is it! |
| 01:50:30 |
What the fuck |
| 01:50:32 |
- Take him down, Teddy. |
| 01:50:34 |
No! Not tonight! |
| 01:50:36 |
This son of bitch, |
| 01:50:41 |
He trapped me! |
| 01:50:43 |
Well, you feeling |
| 01:50:46 |
'Cause I can go on |
| 01:50:49 |
Nyet! Nyet! |
| 01:50:57 |
He beat me. |
| 01:51:01 |
Pay him. |
| 01:51:05 |
Pay that man his money. |
| 01:51:49 |
Turned my ten grand |
| 01:51:53 |
Paid 15 to Grama, six went back |
| 01:51:57 |
As for Worm, |
| 01:52:00 |
And after the ten going back |
| 01:52:03 |
I'm back where I started, |
| 01:52:17 |
Hey. |
| 01:52:21 |
- You look like hell. |
| 01:52:29 |
- Are you okay? |
| 01:52:33 |
Now I am. |
| 01:52:40 |
So, you're |
| 01:52:42 |
Yeah, I'm... I figure |
| 01:52:48 |
Listen, um, will you |
| 01:52:52 |
I... didn't want to wake him up. |
| 01:52:56 |
Can I count on you |
| 01:52:59 |
You could always count |
| 01:53:04 |
Thanks. |
| 01:53:06 |
Take care, Jo. |
| 01:53:10 |
Hey. Call me. |
| 01:53:15 |
If you need a lawyer. |
| 01:53:17 |
I will. |
| 01:53:20 |
And I will. |
| 01:53:41 |
Kennedy Airport. |
| 01:53:52 |
- So, where you headed? |
| 01:53:57 |
- Vegas, huh? |
| 01:53:59 |
Good luck, man. |
| 01:54:01 |
[Mike Narrating] |
| 01:54:04 |
Thanks. |

First prize at the World Series |

Turn your back on the people |

Put your faith in the answers |

Hit the ground hard, runnin' |

Say a prayer for the ones |
