know before the second trick,

which will be a 720.

95
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:42,979
The first is that
when visibility is bad

96
00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:44,234
the way it is now,

97
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:46,282

boughs on the course

98
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:47,484

foreground depth reference.

100
00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:51,238
The second is that
the tightness of your bindings

101
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,244
is determined by
what is called a DIN setting.

102
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:54,324
If you're a beginner,

103
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:55,875
your DIN setting
is probably a two or three.

104
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,247
If you're an experienced
weekend skier,

105
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:58,579
it's probably seven or eight.

00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,382
My boots are basically
welded to my skis.

108
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:03,925
Right?
So how does this happen?

109
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:08,338
It happened because
I hit a pine bough

110
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,843
that had become
frozen in the snow.

111
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:12,263
And I hit it so precisely

112
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:14,720
that it simply snapped
the release of my bindings.

113
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:16,146
Right in that moment,
I didn't have time

114
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,848
to calculate the odds
of that happening

115
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,433

00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:22,949
Just going to
run them by you.

177
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:24,159
Marriage?

178
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,585
It is a trap.

179
00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:28,163
LARRY: Society?

180
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:29,960
It is a joke.

181
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,296
People?

182
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:36,388
I think there's
good and bad.

183
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:39,974
But I don't trust them.

184
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:42,719
I don't trust people.

185
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:44,771
MOLLY:
Every year on our birthdays,

186
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,270
my father would interview
my younger brothers and me.

187
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,776
LARRY: Who are the heroes
or heroines in your life?

188
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,650
Who do you really respect?

189
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,273
I don't have any heroes.

190
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,983
You don't have any heroes?

191
00:08:57,078 --> 00:08:58,693
MO LLY: How’s this for hubris?

192
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:00,028
I don't.

193
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,991
Because if I reach the goals
I set out for myself,

194
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:07,577
then the person I become,
that'll be my hero.

195
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:09,712
Even by teenage
girl standards,

196
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,539
I would appear to be
irrationally angry

197
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:13,590
at nothing in particular.

198
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:16,090
It would be another 22 years
before I'd find out why.

199
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,764
After my colossal
wipeout at Deer Valley,

200
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:22,433
I decided to take a year off
before law school.

201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,852
[needed to go away,
sever myself from reality,

202
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,224
and come up with a new plan.

203
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,647
So, I chose Los Angeles.

204
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:30,642
A friend of mine
from the ski team

205
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,274
had agreed to let me crash
on a couch for a while.

206
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,442
My father had disapproved
of postponing law school,

207
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,819
and so declined to help out.

208
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:41,369
But I had $1, 700 I'd saved
from babysitting money,

209
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:42,445
and that would support me

210
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,622
until / found
a waitressing job.

211
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:47,746
I’d already had a career
and retired from it.

212
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:50,704
I wanted to be young
for a while in warm weather.

213
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,711
I think that's what
I wanted at first.

214
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:54,832
It’s hard to remember.

215
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,507
I got a job working bottle
service at a club in Hollywood

216
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,883
called Nacional nightclub.

217
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,215
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

218
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,220
It was Cuban-themed,
so my uniform

219
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,802
was camouflage short-shorts
and a wife-beater.

220
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:08,346
The promoter would go over

221
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,272
which record producer
was sitting where,

222
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,850
which hot designers,
which Lakers,

223
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,810
and Boris/a va
the Bulgarian billionaire,

224
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:16,445
who didn't drink,
but he ran a $100,000 bar tab.

225
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:18,397
My job was to get people

226
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:20,108
to spend more money
than they needed to.

227
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,443
Can we get a bottle of Skyy?

228
00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:23,494
You guys look like
you deserve Grey Goose.

229
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,697
What do guys who deserve
Grey Goose look like?

230
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,248
TO begin with,
they‘ve got a bottle

231
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:28,495
of Grey Goose
in front of them.

232
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,167
You‘re quick. Very clever.

233
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,083
All right, yeah.
Grey Goose.

234
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:34,710
They just spent
an additional $300,

235
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,712
bringing their total to $900,

236
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:39,465
for $8.50 worth of vodka.

237
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,178
But the club doesn't need you
to buy a bottle.

238
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,013
They need you
to buy five bottles.

239
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:44,557
So these girls over here,

240
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,259
they let you buy them
shots for a living.

241
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,810
It would be like
waiting in a long line

242
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:48,886
to get into the Gap,

243
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,098
so you can pay
a 1,000% markup

244
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:53,399
to buy all the employees
a pair of pants.

245
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,561
I only had one shift a week.

246
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:57,771
I didn't want
to tell my parents

247
00:10:57,866 --> 00:10:59,481
I was a cocktail waitress.

248
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:00,907
And back then,
I never turned down

249
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,404
an opportunity
to make more money.

250
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,702
So I found a second job
as an office assistant,

251
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,030
and that’s howl ended up
working for Dean Keith.

252
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,538
Dean was a partner
in Black Hues Investments.

253
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,627
He was a regular at the club,
and one night he said...

254
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:15,421
People seem to take to you.

255
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,667
How would you like to get paid
to go to grad school

256
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,422
and get an MBA
in how life works?

257
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,299
What makes you think
you know and I don't?

258
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,256
I'm a regular here,
and you're a waitress here.

259
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:26,682
Look at the fuckin'
scoreboard.

260
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,303
MOLLY: Dean explained
what myjob was by saying...

261
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:30,432
Me.

262
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,512
I'm yourjob.

263
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,269
MOLLY: / answered the phone,
made coffee runs,

264
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,191
set appointments,
made spreadsheets.

265
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:37,310
What is that?

266
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:38,394
MOLLY: And showed Dean
what a spreadsheet was.

267
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:39,478
Spreadsheet.

268
00:11:40,074 --> 00:11:42,816
But I made $450 a week
on top of the $300

269
00:11:42,911 --> 00:11:44,196
l was making at the club.
(PHONE RINGING)

270
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:46,278
Which would be enough
to get off my friend's couch.

271
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,659
I remember the day started
by being about bagels.

272
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:50,957
This is Molly...
DEAN: Get to the office.

273
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:52,033
Pick up bagels.

274
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,703
Do you mean now?

275
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,422
Dean was a Hollywood staple.

276
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,883
Over-leveraged. Going broke.

277
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:01,959
Trying to prove
he wasn't broke

278
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:05,013
and making a true effort
to be as vulgar as possible.

279
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:07,515
Honestly making an effort.

280
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:09,308
I hadn 't told anyone
I was a skier,

281
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,056
and it was hard not to laugh
when Dean said...

282
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,596
Anyone ever teach you
how to fuckin' hurry?

283
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:13,930
No.

284
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,856
What are those?
Bagels.

285
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:18,439
Are these from Bluebell?
Yeah. It's on the way

286
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:19,644
from my house.
Seriously?

287
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:23,030
You might as well have stopped
at a fucking homeless shelter.

288
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:24,565
You might as well have walked

289
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:26,993
into a motherfucking
homeless shelter

290
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,490
and said,
"I'd like a dozen bagels

291
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,742
"from this homeless
shelter, please!"

292
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:34,951
I do not eat bagels from
Blue-fucking-bell, Molly,

293
00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:37,708
because these
are poor people bagels!

294
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,214
From where would
you like me to get
your bagels?

295
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:41,381
Forget about
the fuckin' bagels.

296
00:12:41,511 --> 00:12:42,842
Done.
Except smarten up.

297
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,294
Got it.
Hang on.

298
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,593
MOLLY: Like I said, the day
started by being about bagels,

299
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:48,890
but that would
abruptly change.

300
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,138
My weekly poker game
is moving to
the Cobra Lounge.

301
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:52,844
Tomorrow night,
and then every
Tuesday night.

302
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,145
You'll help run it.

303
00:12:54,232 --> 00:12:55,722
Take these names
and numbers

304
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:56,806
and tell them to bring
ten grand in cash

305
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:58,266
for the first buy-in.

306
00:12:58,361 --> 00:13:00,192
The blinds are $50/$100.

307
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,479
And, Molly...
Yeah?

308
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,321
Don't fucking tell anybody.

309
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:12,863
MOLLY: I’d regarded Dean

310
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,950
as a nitwit
when I regarded him at all,

311
00:13:15,169 --> 00:13:16,625
but on that pad
were nine names,

312
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:18,749
along with phone numbers,
of some of the wealthiest

313
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,126
and most famous people
in the world.

314
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:24,254
[put the numbers in my phone
and composed a simple message.

315
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:25,627
There’d be a game
tomorrow night

316
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:26,711
at the Cobra Lounge,

317
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,671
there was a $10,000 buy-in.

318
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:30,172
(PHONE CHIMES)

319
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,638
All nine players confirmed
that they'd be there.

320
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:39,558
All within 90 seconds
of my sending the text.

321
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:41,817
The Cobra Lounge
sits on the edge

322
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:43,314
of the Sunset Strip,

323
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:44,737
and in its heyday was famous

324
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,189
for introducing
unknown bands

325
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,115
like The Doors
and The Beach Boys.

326
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,240
All I knew
was schoolwork and skiing.

327
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:53,324
I'd always figured
sophistication

328
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,202
would be easy to learn
if I ever needed it.

329
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:57,204
My cheese platter
had a sticker that read

330
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:59,786
"Cheese from the Great State
of Michigan. "

331
00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:03,043
Diego, a professional dealer,

332
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,212
was setting up the table
when I got there.

333
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:08,261
I googled, ”What type of music

334
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,095
"do poker players
like to listen to ?"

335
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,514
And then tried to figure out
how to make a play/ist

336
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,683
out of one
Kenny Rogers song.

337
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:15,347
I set up the bar,

338
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,349
put out my cheese platter,

339
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:19,647
and positioned myself
at the door

340
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:20,723
where I'd been instructed

341
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,103
to only let in the names
on the list.

342
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,234
I was wearing my best dress,

343
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:25,562
which I bought
two years earlier

344
00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:27,396
at JCPenney for $88.

345
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:29,865
The players started
to arrive.

346
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,443
I introduced myself as Molly,
Dean's assistant...

347
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,618
MAN: For you.

348
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:36,952
...asked if] could
get them a drink,

349
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,538
and took from each of them
$10,000 in cash.

350
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:47,633
Hi.
Hi.

351
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:49,126
I'm

352
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:53,260
I know.

353
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:54,803
Your boss...
(WHISPERING)
Everybody here?

354
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:56,972
Yeah.
Hey, buddy.

355
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,599
Fuck off,
I'm going to own
your shit.

356
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,939
Ugly dress. Ugly shoes.

357
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:03,732
Let's play!

358
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:09,276
MOLLY: Diego fanned nine cards
out on the table,

359
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,232
and the players
chose for seats.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

361
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:28,500
I just finished
counting out
$90,000 in cash.

362
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:31,131
l was in a room
with movie stars,

363
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:32,257
directors...

364
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:33,337
HOST:
And the award goes to...

365
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:34,513
MOLLY: ...rappers,

366
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,261
boxers,

367
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:37,933
and business titans.

368
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,684
They were going all in,
all the time,

369
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,182
burning through
their buy-ins
over and over.

370
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,441
Here you go.
Good luck.
Thank you so much.

371
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:48,027
I don't know...

372
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:52,361
I googled every word I heard
that I didn't know.

373
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:53,612
Flop. River.

Fourth Street.
Tilt. Cooler.

375

Boat. Nuts.
MAN:
He's pot-committed.

376
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,034
MOLLY: Playing the rush.

377
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:03,535
You keeping track
of the buy-ins?

378
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,585
Yeah.
Where? Where's the paper?

379
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:07,371
Spreadsheet.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Allin.

382
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:23,558
MOLLY: The game ended
at 3:30,

383
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,685
and when it did, that’s
when Dean shouted out...

384
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:29,268
Hey! Tip Molly if you want to
get invited back next week.

385
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,608
MOLLY: "Tip Molly. "

386
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,149
Deep down, I didn’t
like the sound of that.

387
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,074
Thank you so much.

388
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,618
Deep down, [knew that
when your boss says...

389
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,286
And, Molly...
Yeah?

390
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:40,488
Don‘t fucking
tell anybody.

391
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:41,698
That’s usually
not the beginning

392
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,914
of a promising law career.

393
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:44,037
See you next week.

394
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:48,170
MOLLY: But that was
deep down.

395
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:51,044
I just made $3,000.

396
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:17,734
What are you reading?

397
00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:19,364
The Crucible.

398
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,241
For school?

399
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:22,575
My father assigned it.

400
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:28,415
Do you know how many witches
were burned in Salem?

401
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:30,621
How many?
None.

402
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,877
They didn't burn witches.
It's a myth. They hanged them.

403
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,421
Or drowned them,

404
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:36,173
or crushed them
with heavy rocks.

405
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,302
Wait. Aren't...
You're Molly Bloom, right?

406
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,508
Yeah.

407
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:43,592
You don't look the same
as in your photos.

408
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:45,887
None of us do.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

409
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:49,023

Yes.

00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:52,393
Thank you again
for seeing me so early.

This is my daughter
Stella.
We met.

413
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,440
Isabel will be here in 45
minutes to take you to school.

414
00:17:57,535 --> 00:17:58,615
You finish your math?
Yeah.

415
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:00,234
Civ?
Yeah.

416
00:18:00,329 --> 00:18:01,318
Do you know it?

417
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:02,870
Could you teach it
in class today?

418
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,580
If I asked you to
teach me Roman law,

419
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:05,907
could you do it?

420
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,416
Yes.

421
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:08,788
Okay.

422
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:12,084
SO, first
things first.

423
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:14,039
When was the last time
you slept? Today's Friday.

424
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,343
Tuesday morning at 5:00 am.
l was arrested by the FBI.

425
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,341
I spent Tuesday
in LA. County Jail.

426
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,968
l was assessed
to be a minimal
flight risk

427
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:22,594
and ball was set
at $100,000.

428
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,550
My mother signed over
her house.

429
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,725
l was released on Wednesday

430
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,394
and ordered to appear
in federal court

431
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:30,564
in New York's Southern
District 10:00 am. today.

432
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,270
In here.

433
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:34,227
Close that,
will you?

434
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,025
Flew here Wednesday and met
with five attorneys yesterday.

435
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,109
Have a seat.

436
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,195
You didn't hire
any of them?

437
00:18:44,749 --> 00:18:46,239
Three of them had
already been taken.

438
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:48,450
Yeah, 31 people
were named in
your indictment.

439
00:18:48,544 --> 00:18:49,659
It's Black Friday
for criminal lawyers.

440
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:50,743
What about the other two?

441
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:51,998
One told me money was

442
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,329
his second favorite form
of payment.

443
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:54,917
I know him.
The fifth was also taken,

444
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:56,249
but he recommended
I call you.

445
00:18:57,053 --> 00:18:58,168
Why?
I told him
I wanted someone

446
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,718
who'd worked in
the prosecutor's office

447
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,045
and wasn't even
a little bit shady.

448
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,470
Do you know about me?

449
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,556
I've been briefed a little
by my daughter,

450
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,138
who knows a lot
about your story

451
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:11,480
because her mother's
a moron.

452
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,647
Her mother reads
the tabloids?

453
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,646
Yeah. And | read them too.

454
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:16,602
| read your indictment after
I got your call last night,

455
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:18,400
and I bought your book.

456
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,864
I'm only on page 112,
but, Molly,

457
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,816
did you commit a felony, and
then write a book about it?

458
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:24,368
I haven't run a game
in over two years.

459
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,490
Not to spoil the ending,
but that's when

460
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,663
the government raided my game
and took all of my money,

461
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:30,750
assuming all of it was made
illegally, which it wasn't.

462
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,288
I've been living
in my mother's house

463
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:33,836
in Telluride,

464
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:34,999
and I wrote the book

465
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:36,251
so I could start
paying off debts.

466
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:38,507
| just finished
the press tour
for the book,

467
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:39,671
and I moved back
to Los Angeles

468
00:19:39,762 --> 00:19:40,797
so I could start over.

469
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:42,419
Hmm.

470
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:45,048
You ran games in LA.
for roughly eight years?

471
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:46,473
Yeah.
Without taking a rake?

472
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,549
Right.

473
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,351
Then you ran games in New York
for roughly two?

474
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:51,387
I took a rake
the last six months.

475
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:55,225
In the first 112 pages
you name a bunch of names.

476
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:57,267
Sorry?

477
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,694
You named the names
of some movie stars

478
00:19:58,823 --> 00:19:59,812
that played in your game.

479
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:01,863
Yeah.

480
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:04,783
That not against
some sort of poker code?

481
00:20:06,831 --> 00:20:08,116
Am I supposed to be sitting
all the way over here?

482
00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:10,240
Can you hear me
from there?
Yeah.

483
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:13,292
Are you taking me
on as a client?

484
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,244
My retainer is $250,000.

485
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,625
Do you have $250,000?

486
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:20,333
No. I don't have anything.

487
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:23,218
What about the sales
from your book?

488
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:25,546
The book isn'tjumping off
the shelves.

489
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,506
But I will find a way
to pay you, Charlie.

490
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:28,636
Ask around about me.

491
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:29,800
(CHUCKLES)

492
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:31,602
Unfortunately,
the people I'd ask

493
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:32,769
are going away for a while.

494
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:34,772
What happened
on Tuesday morning

495
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,474
was called a GPS takedown.

496
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,685
Thirty-one people were
arrested in the same instant.

497
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:42,067
Something in excess 600 agents
were dispatched to locations

498
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:44,023
in New York and LA.
in coordinated strikes

499
00:20:44,118 --> 00:20:45,403
with automatic weapons,

500
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:47,655
and you're trying
to tell me you're
in my office

501
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,658
because you raked a game
of Texas Hold 'Em?

502
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:50,870
Yes.
Have you seen

503
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:52,414
the other names
in your indictment?

504
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,207
"Nicholas Kozlowski.
Peter Druzhinsky.

505
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,411
"Peter Antonovich.
The Gershen Brothers."

506
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:57,540
I mean, come on, Molly,

507
00:20:57,631 --> 00:20:58,996
just how deep into
the Russian mob were you?

508
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,339
Because your book doesn't say.

509
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:03,876
(EXHALES)

510
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,187
Why are you making your
daughter read The Crucible?

511
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,769
So she can see
what happens to a group

512
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,400
of bored teenage girls
when they gossip.

513
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,567
I've never read the play.

514
00:21:24,658 --> 00:21:26,569
Many consider it to be the
best play of the 20th century.

515
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:28,192
Is that what many
consider it to be?

516
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,403
I don't defend
violent criminals.

517
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:31,578
I've never hurt anyone
in my life.

518
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:32,996
Your friends have.
I've never heard

519
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,948
of 90% of the names
on the indictment.

520
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:36,500
And the other 10%?
I didn't know they were

521
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:37,702
connected. I had no idea
who they really were.

522
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,412
Let me ask a question.

523
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:42,374
The character in the book
you call "Dean Keith,"

524
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,709
he didn't say
"poor people bagels," did he?

525
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,544
lthink I know
who he is.

526
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:47,845
I think I know
a real estate lawyer

527
00:21:47,932 --> 00:21:49,012
that worked
with him and quit.

528
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,761
He said "nigger bagels,"
right?

529
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:58,972
I'm not telling you
his real name.

530
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:00,103
He's not involved in this.

531
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:02,059
But you were willing to
name some names.

532
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,030
Why is the FBI
arresting me

533
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,610
two years after
I stopped running games?

534
00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:13,491
Were you paid extra
in your book deal

535
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:15,038
to name the movie stars?

536
00:22:18,712 --> 00:22:20,293
I'm not your guy, Molly.

537
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,377
| wish you
good luck, but this
just isn't for me.

538
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:35,676
I didn't know
who the Russians were.

539
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:38,933
I can get you
the $250,000.

540
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,389
I left 10 times that
on the street.

541
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,769
It'll just take some time.

542
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,351
We regularly lend out
our best litigators

543
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,060

Southern Poverty Law Center,
veterans groups,

545
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:49,735
but I don't think
I can convince my partners

546
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:51,738
to take a flyer
on the Poker Princess.

547
00:22:51,829 --> 00:22:53,740
I didn't name myself
the Poker Princess.

548
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:54,953
"Molly Bloom,

549
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,701
"the self-proclaimed
Poker Princess..."

550
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,032
Is that Us Weekly?

551
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:00,125
I would agree
it would be unusual for them

552
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:01,702
to print something
that wasn't true,

553
00:23:01,797 --> 00:23:02,786
but it's not true.

554
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,588
And if you think a princess
can do what I did,

555
00:23:04,675 --> 00:23:05,664
you're incorrect.

556
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,541
I'm getting
you don't think
much of me,

557
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:09,422
but what if every one
Of your ill-informed,

558
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,344
unsophisticated opinions
about me were wrong?

559
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:12,547
I'd be amazed.

560
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:13,801
Yeah, you know what, bud,
you would.

561
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,349
You don't need me,
you need a publicist.

562
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:17,017
No,|need
a fucking lawyer!

563
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:25,604
You didn't answer
my question.

(SNIFFLES)

565
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,106
When was the last time
you slept?

566
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,405
It was a while ago.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

568
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,202
All right.

569
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:46,914
I'm going to walk you through
the arraignment this morning

570
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:48,465
'cause you shouldn't
do that alone.

571
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:49,876
I'm going to put
some bodies on you

572
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,210
and walk you through
the side door

573
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:53,383
because I don't know what
you've got on the Russians,

574
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:54,509
but neither do they,

575
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,386
and the Russians
take care of shit.

576
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,141
Do you understand
what I'm saying?

577
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:01,974
Yes.

578
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:10,195
Almost. You got to
keep your eyes up,

579
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:11,822
always got to look ahead.

580
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:14,275
If you look down,
that's where
you're gonna go.

00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,492
If you look down,
that's where you'll go.

582
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:21,160
Ready?
Yeah.

583
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:22,240
All right.

584
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,420
Let's go.

585
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,167
MOLLY: My father is
a therapist

586
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:30,169
and a psychology professor
at Colorado State.

587
00:24:30,386 --> 00:24:31,842
No! No!

588
00:24:31,929 --> 00:24:34,341
The second rule of his house
was that academic excellence

589
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,513
and athletic excellence
weren't optional.

590
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,636
You can't be
afraid of it. All right?

591
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:40,137
Don't play defense.

592
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:42,470
And the first rule was that
he made all the rules.

593
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:43,679
Again.

594
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:45,355
Dad! I'm pretty tired.

595
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:47,103
Hon, she's tired.

596
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:48,934
We've been out here
since 6:00.

597
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,277
Her lips are blue.

598
00:24:51,949 --> 00:24:53,564
You‘re tired?
Yeah.

599
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:58,152
What's another word
for "tired"?

600
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:03,157
Name a synonym for tired,
and we'll get in the car.

601
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:05,283
Weak.

602
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:06,877
That's right.

603
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,541
Let's go home.

604
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:10,748
Again.

605
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:14,255
MOLLY: I decided to postpone
law school another year.

606
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,302
After six weeks of tips,
I went to Barneys

607
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:17,379
and asked for a dress

608
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,260
that made me look nothing
like myself.

609
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,761
I’d overheard stories
about games

610
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:22,263
that folded
after one bad night,

611
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,387
and I needed
this one to keep going,

612
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:25,891
and I needed to
bring value to it.

613
00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:27,018
Good night, Molly.
Thanks very much.

614
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:29,191
I knew if] wanted to
cement my place,

615
00:25:29,278 --> 00:25:30,893
there was one guy
I needed to team up with.

616
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:31,977
$10,000.
MAN: Fold.

617
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:33,187
MOLLY: And that was
this man.

618
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:36,361
The game had regulars,
and the game had guests.

619
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,488
And four of the regulars
were famous actors.

620
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,611
And I’m going to call one
of them PIayerX.

621
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:41,945
PLAYER X: I'm all in.

622
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,497
PIayerX subscribed
to the belief

623
00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:46,075
that money won was twice
as good as money earned.

624
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,502
He lived to beat people
and take their money.

625
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,295
Here 's PlayerX
talking one of the guests

626
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:51,588
into folding
the winning hand.

627
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:53,040
I swear... Look at me.

628
00:25:54,094 --> 00:25:56,085
I swear on
my mother's life,
I have you.

629
00:25:59,433 --> 00:26:01,344
MOLLY: PlayerX was
the best player at the table.

630
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:03,926
And tonight,
this guy was the worst.

631
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:07,436
(CHUCKLES)

632
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:09,268
He’s staring at his cards.

633
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,020
Even a reasonably
good amateur would know

634
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:13,189
it was mathematically
the best hand,

635
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,020
which in poker is called
"the nuts. "

636
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,235
There was $47,000
in the pot,

637
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:18,823
and the guest was holding
the nuts.

638
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:20,362
But he was starting
to get confused

639
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:21,736
because a movie star
was talking to him.

640
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,661
My mother's life, man.
I'm not messing with you.

641
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:24,784
Why would you
be telling me?

642
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,412
Either I am messing with you,
or you're new to the game,

643
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:28,663
you've had bad cards
all night,

644
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:30,290
you should've folded
after the flop,

645
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:31,995
and I don't want
to win more of
your money this way.

646
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:33,588
I've got queens under here.

647
00:26:34,551 --> 00:26:35,666
Take your time.

648
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,479
Fold.

649
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:51,807
Fuck you.
No!

650
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,150
(ALL EXCLAIMING)

651
00:27:00,661 --> 00:27:03,152
MOLLY: A fish is
a particular kind
of player.

652
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:04,745
A fish has money.

653
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:07,414
A fish plays loose
and doesn't fold a lot.

654
00:27:07,501 --> 00:27:10,493
A fish is good,
but not too good.

655
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:11,789
There's an ATM
in the hall, bro.

656
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,996
The Cobra Lounge may have
belonged to Dean Keith,

657
00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:15,877
but the game belonged
to Player X.

658
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,583
People wanted to say
they played with him.

659
00:27:17,678 --> 00:27:18,793
The same way
they wanted to say

660
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,718
they rode on Air Force One.

661
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:22,213
My job security
was gonna depend on

662
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:23,763
bringing him his fish.

663
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:25,678
But where would I find people
with a lot of money

664
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:26,926
who didn't know
how to spend it

665
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:28,635
and liked to be
around celebrities?

666
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:30,228
If they say
they're interested in poker,

667
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,395
you give them
my number.

668
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,518
l vet them.

669
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:34,395
lfthey end up playing
in a game,

670
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,898
I'll give you $1,000
the first time they play,

671
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,854
$500 every time
after that.

672
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:40,439
Be sure to mention

673
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:41,694
that these guys are
all regulars.

674
00:27:42,077 --> 00:27:44,568
Is this true?
These guys play?

675
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:49,699
MOLLY: The Commerce Casino
is off the 5 freeway
in East LA,

676
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:52,375
and no one’s ever going to
confuse it with Monte Carlo.

677
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,373
I’d watch the tables
for a while

678
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,420
before I approached
a friendly-looking pit boss.

679
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:58,632
Third chair at Table 8
can't lose.

680
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,505
Unless there are players
at his table who can win.

681
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,675
You know about the game
at the Cobra Lounge, right?

682
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,173
Sure.

683
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,429
$1,000 for every player
you send me.

684
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:09,768
You get a piece
of what they lose.

685
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:11,725
No pros.

686
00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:12,804
I'm Molly.

687
00:28:14,193 --> 00:28:16,354
Poker was my Trojan horse
into the highest level

688
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:20,320
of finance, technology,
politics, entertainment, art.

689
00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:21,525
All I had to do was listen.

690
00:28:21,658 --> 00:28:23,774
The art world is controlled
by a few major dealers.

691
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,075
China's telecom
companies want

692
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:26,151
to partner
with other providers.

693
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:27,782
The owners don't mind
spending $30 million

694
00:28:27,873 --> 00:28:30,410
on an outfielder hits .320
with 110 RBI.

695
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,827
They alone control

00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:47,243
there'll be
no hard feelings.

1042
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:55,005
Let's play.

1043
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,336
MOLLY: The game was mine now.

1044
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:59,423
l incorporated,
and Molly Bloom
Event Planning was born.

1045
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,975
I paid taxes
and 1099'd my employees.

1046
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:04,177
I never became romantically

1047
00:42:04,272 --> 00:42:06,433
or sexually involved
with any of the players.

1048
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:07,730
The game would have
fallen apart.

1049
00:42:08,317 --> 00:42:11,024
This was back when / was
still making good decisions.

1050
00:42:11,112 --> 00:42:12,852
And I went to a lawyer
to make absolutely sure

1051
00:42:12,947 --> 00:42:14,357
all this was legal.

1052
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:16,071
LOUIS: Are you taking a rake?
MOLLY: No.

1053
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:17,490
Then you're not
breaking the law.

1054
00:42:17,577 --> 00:42:19,033
But can I give you
some advice?

1055
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,109
Please.

1056
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:21,193
There's a saying
in my business.

1057
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,496
"Don't break the law
when you're breaking
the law."

1058
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:26,370
What do you mean?
No drugs.
No prostitutes.

1059
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:27,997
NO muscle
to collect debts.

1060
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:29,543
I don't do anything
like that,

1061
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,461
but you just said
lwasn't breaking the law.

1062
00:42:31,549 --> 00:42:32,664
You want to keep it
that way

1063
00:42:32,759 --> 00:42:33,839
because you don't want to
break the law

1064
00:42:33,926 --> 00:42:35,086
when you're breaking
the law.

1065
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:37,047
Am I breaking the law?

1066
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:38,794
Not really.

1067
00:42:39,098 --> 00:42:41,009
We‘re able to find out
for sure, aren't we?

1068
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,340
Laws are written down.

1069
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:43,971
You‘re not taking
a percentage of the pot?

1070
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:45,051
No.

1071
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:46,852
You're running
a square game.

1072
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:49,768
MOLLY: My game had
a tricky ecosystem.

1073
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:51,482
These guys
could buy anything.

1074
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:54,853
But here, in this room,
you couldn't buy your win.

1075
00:42:54,989 --> 00:42:57,401
You couldn't buy me.
You couldn't buy the girls.

1076
00:42:57,492 --> 00:42:59,608
And you couldn’t buy
a seat at the table.

1077
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:02,364
There's nothing as sweet as
a win you have to work for.

1078
00:43:02,455 --> 00:43:04,491
And the wins and losses
were compelling,

1079
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,038
and they were real.

1080
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:07,160
Of course, it helped that

1081
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:08,286
the players were
gambling addicts.

1082
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:09,787
Can I see you
for a second?

1083
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,250
Jay, you’re famous.

1084
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,926
You are an
international rock star.

1085
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:21,220
Oh, I wasn't sure
you'd noticed.

1086
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:23,051
You can't send emails
like that.

1087
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:25,175
Well, it's not
a federal production, okay?

1088
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:27,885
ljust invited you to Cabo
for the weekend.

1089
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:30,392
The next woman you send
an email like that to,

1090
00:43:30,483 --> 00:43:33,099
it's not going to
be me. It's going
to be someone else.

1091
00:43:33,194 --> 00:43:34,229
You‘re playing with fire.

1092
00:43:34,362 --> 00:43:36,603
I'm telling you that
I'm in love with you,

1093
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:38,570
and you are worried
about me getting blackmailed?

1094
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:40,781
Oh, my... Thatjust makes me
more into you.

1095

Lemon head.

1096
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:43,568
They won't need to
blackmail you,

1097
00:43:43,663 --> 00:43:45,949
they can getjust as much
money from TMZ.

1098
00:43:46,082 --> 00:43:48,118
And TMZ will give them
what they really want.

1099
00:43:48,209 --> 00:43:49,198
Tell me the truth.

1100
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:50,999
Was mine the first
love letter you've gotten
from a player?

1101
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:53,624
It was the seventh.
All digitally transmitted.

1102
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,124
You are begging
for your life

1103
00:43:55,216 --> 00:43:57,798
to be turned into
a very public hell.

1104
00:43:57,885 --> 00:43:58,965
So, that's a "no"
on Cabo?

1105
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:00,759
Why don‘t you give your wife
and kids a break

1106
00:44:00,847 --> 00:44:02,508
and run 'em over
with a limo?

1107
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:03,883
I love the way
that you talk to me.

1108
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:05,010
Oh, God.

1110
00:44:10,857 --> 00:44:12,688
I've had a thought.
Yeah?

1111
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:13,890
Raise the stakes.

1112
00:44:16,737 --> 00:44:17,726
To what?

1113
00:44:19,365 --> 00:44:21,276
50K buy-in.
Blinds are 250/500.

1114
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:27,278
That's a 500% hike.
Yeah.

1115
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,076
I don't think
it's a good idea.

1116
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:31,244
Could you guys
give me the room
for a second?

1117
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:34,953
Sure.

(MOLLY CHUCKLES)

1120
00:44:40,386 --> 00:44:41,922
The players that
are losing $100,000
a week

1121
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:43,173
are going to be losing
halfa million.

1122

And the players winning
$100,000 a week...

1123
00:44:44,849 --> 00:44:46,464
Will have no one left
to play with.

others are gonna
get killed, and some
will drop out.

1126
00:44:49,896 --> 00:44:52,262
It's not sustainable.
We'll lose the game.

Find new players.

1128
00:44:54,942 --> 00:44:57,228
MOLLY: He meant,
"Find new fish. "

1129
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,685
I went recruiting again.

1130
00:44:58,779 --> 00:45:00,485
First up
was Donnie Silverman.

1131
00:45:00,573 --> 00:45:02,859
Donnie won the World Series
of Poker last year

1132
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:04,690
and got in touch with me
through one of the players.

1133
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:06,195
Are you fucking nuts?

1134
00:45:06,287 --> 00:45:08,278
Donnie Silverman
won the World Series
of Poker.

1135
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:09,908
You can watch it online.

1136
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:12,540
He took 11 hands
at the final table,

1137
00:45:12,627 --> 00:45:14,834
but he had the nuts
on eight of them.

1138
00:45:14,921 --> 00:45:16,286
Three of those...

1139
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:18,211
Three were two outerS

1140
00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:19,709
with four players
still in the hand.

1141
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,789
He ran hot.

1142
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:22,295
He doesn't lock
his chips down,

1143
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,172
he's reckless,
he gives tons of action,

1144
00:45:24,263 --> 00:45:25,969
and he's got
$12 million.

1145
00:45:31,312 --> 00:45:33,598
You know,
I don't like
playing poker.

MOLLY: The next recruit
was Brad Marion.

1150
00:45:42,365 --> 00:45:43,650
Good evening, gentlemen.

1151
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:45,447
Who everyone called
"Bad Brad, "

1152
00:45:45,534 --> 00:45:49,368
because he was uniquely
terrible at this game.

1153
00:45:49,455 --> 00:45:51,741
If there was a worse player
in the world,

1154
00:45:51,874 --> 00:45:53,910
Brad would still find a way
to lose to him.

1155
00:45:54,001 --> 00:45:55,866
Sorry, ldon't have
a chair, but you're
welcome to a drink.

to introduce you to Brad.

| just wanted to
introduce you
to Brad Marion.

1160
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,708
He wants to play.

1161
00:46:04,804 --> 00:46:05,884
Give me his information.
I'll check him out.

1162

NEAL: Derek is going to
vouch for him.

MOLLY: "Derek's going
to vouch for him"

1164
00:46:08,557 --> 00:46:11,469
meant Derek would
cover any losses
if Brad didn't pay.

1165
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,221
Up to any amount.
Yeah.

Hi, I'm Molly Bloom.
Brad Marion.

Nice to meet you.
You too.

1168
00:46:18,943 --> 00:46:20,934
MOLLY: But he could pay,
and had to,

1169
00:46:21,362 --> 00:46:22,693
because he embraced
the fallacy

1170
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:24,111
of being pot-committed.

1171
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,446

through to the end.

Bad Brad had raised
$700 million

1175

for a fund
that traded oil futures,

1176
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:37,416
and every week
he came to the game,

1177
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:39,710
lost $100, 000,
and tipped me $5,000

1178
00:46:39,797 --> 00:46:41,082
so he could play
the next week.

1179
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:43,831
He wasn't getting
any better.

many friends.

Yeah. Maybe.

He was getting customers.

1204
00:47:37,229 --> 00:47:38,844
He 'd drop
his $100K at the game

1205
00:47:38,939 --> 00:47:40,679

for his hedge fund.

00:47:48,657 --> 00:47:50,067
and that he’d be good
for the game,

1211
00:47:50,159 --> 00:47:52,024
but I wasn’t seeing
what he was seeing.

1212
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,279
He played tight,

1213
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:55,987
folding after the hole card
64% of the time.

1214
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:58,494
It wasn't clear
where his money
came from.

1215
00:47:58,584 --> 00:47:59,699
He produced
backyard wrestling videos

1216
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:01,746
and other
low-rent productions.

1217
00:48:02,296 --> 00:48:03,376
But worst of all,

1218
00:48:03,464 --> 00:48:06,001
Harlan Eustice
was a good card player.

1219
00:48:06,092 --> 00:48:07,332
Why would PlayerX
want someone

1220
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:08,757
at the game
who could beat him?

1221
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:11,005
I’d learn the answer
to that one the hard way.

1222
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,675
How was your flight?
MOLLY: Just fine.

1223
00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:16,511
How are you paying
for tickets between
LA. and New York?

1224
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,467
I had two million points
left on my Amex.

1225
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:19,847
They took the card,
but let me keep
the points,

1226
00:48:19,939 --> 00:48:20,928
which I thought
was nice of them.

1227
00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:22,012
You had meetings.

1228
00:48:22,608 --> 00:48:23,597
Hmm?

1229
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:25,690
You had meetings in LA.
about your book
and life rights.

1230
00:48:25,778 --> 00:48:27,314
I did.
Was there
any interest?

1231
00:48:27,405 --> 00:48:29,191
A company that owns
4,000 video poker
machines

1232
00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:30,361
wants to put
my face on 'em.

1233
00:48:31,075 --> 00:48:32,064
Anything else?

1234
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:34,450
Treat magazine made
a generous offer.

1235
00:48:34,578 --> 00:48:35,567
Treat?

1236
00:48:35,663 --> 00:48:36,778
It's a new magazine for

1237
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,029
the high-end
photography enthusiast.

1238
00:48:38,124 --> 00:48:40,160
They want you
to pose naked.
I'd be the April Treat.

1239
00:48:40,334 --> 00:48:41,574
I meant interest
in your book.

1240
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:43,283
Uh, yeah.

1241
00:48:43,671 --> 00:48:44,660
Any offers?

1242
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,330
A few, I guess. Couple.

1243
00:48:49,301 --> 00:48:50,416
Five.
Really?

1244
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:52,001
Yeah.
And?

1245
00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:53,176
I passed.

1246
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:55,004
You're destitute,
and you passed
on five offers

1247
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:56,179
to turn your book
into a movie?

1248
00:48:56,267 --> 00:48:57,256
You will be paid, Charlie.

1249
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:58,511
I'm just curious
as to why you passed

1250
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,638
on what would appear to be
the only way out you have.

1251
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:03,103
Creative differences.
Okay.

1252
00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:04,225
Shall we start?

1253
00:49:04,316 --> 00:49:06,227
You know,
I am gonna
figure you out.

1254
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,774
Well, let me know
what you find.

1255
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:08,897
You see this?

1256
00:49:08,988 --> 00:49:10,899
This is discovery.

1257
00:49:10,990 --> 00:49:12,651
Let's see what
we discovered.

1258
00:49:13,617 --> 00:49:15,778
Over here
we have Peter Druzhinsky,

1259
00:49:16,287 --> 00:49:17,367
Peter Antonovich,

1260
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:19,616
and Peter Slobo.
The three Petes.

1261
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,530
Now, the three Petes run
a chain

1262
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:22,705
of corrupt
medical clinics

1263
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:24,784
and have been committing
insurance fraud,

1264
00:49:25,212 --> 00:49:27,919
wire fraud, and mail fraud
on an epic scale.

1265
00:49:28,007 --> 00:49:29,247
Now, over here we have

1266
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:31,878
the Ragnyada-Gershen
Organization.

1267
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,551
They're a worldwide
bookmaking operation

1268
00:49:34,638 --> 00:49:37,004
handling hundreds of
millions of dollars a year

1269
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:38,839
in illegal Sports betting.

1270
00:49:38,934 --> 00:49:40,094
And over here we have

1271
00:49:40,186 --> 00:49:41,722
the Alexander-Habib
Organization.

1272
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,187
This is also an illegal
sports betting organization,

1273
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:48,266
but this one,
financed by an art gallery

1274
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,568
owned by Shillel Habib,
who everyone calls...

1275
00:49:51,655 --> 00:49:52,644
Shelly.

1276
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:59,068
This is the Russian Mafia.

1277
00:49:59,163 --> 00:50:00,903
And the three
are tied together

1278
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:02,659
in the indictment
through

1279
00:50:04,210 --> 00:50:05,199
a poker game.

1280
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:08,244
Were they tapping
my phones?
No.

1281
00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:09,369
Thank God.

1282
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:11,543
They were tapping the phones
of everyone you talked to.

1283
00:50:11,926 --> 00:50:12,915
Okay.

1284
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:15,001
They‘ve got you
confirming that
you ran raked games

1285
00:50:15,095 --> 00:50:16,084
at the Plaza Hotel

1286
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:17,260
and various locations
in New York.

1287
00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:19,763
They've also got
a confidential informant

1288
00:50:21,727 --> 00:50:22,716
at the Plaza Hotel

1289
00:50:22,811 --> 00:50:24,176
and various locations
in New York.

1290
00:50:24,313 --> 00:50:26,804
You were
in violation of 1955,

1291
00:50:26,899 --> 00:50:28,139
which is a part
of the US Code

1292
00:50:28,234 --> 00:50:29,269
that makes it illegal

1293
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,225
to run an illegal
gambling business.

1294
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,685
You know what
you did?

1295
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:34,736
You finished writing a book
before the good part happened.

1296
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:36,772
You really get a kick
out of yourself, don't you?

1297
00:50:37,660 --> 00:50:39,571
You know,
ldon't like this picture.

1298
00:50:39,703 --> 00:50:40,863
Thank you.

1299
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:42,070
You look like the cat
that ate the canary,

1300
00:50:42,164 --> 00:50:43,370
and then told the canary's
parents about it.

1301
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:44,909
It's the picture
the publisher wanted.

1302
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,080
And I didn't get a vote.

1303
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:47,578
I liked the book.
A good story, well told.

1304
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:48,659
Thank you.

1305
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:50,164
I need you to
tell it again though,

1306
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:51,286
from the beginning,
and this time

1307
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:52,997
without Skipping over
the Russians.

1308
00:50:53,259 --> 00:50:54,248
Would you like
a glass of water?

1309
00:50:54,385 --> 00:50:55,545
I'd like a glass
of bourbon.

1310
00:50:56,512 --> 00:50:57,627
(SIGHS)

1311
00:50:59,014 --> 00:51:00,675
One more thing.
Yeah?

1312
00:51:01,267 --> 00:51:02,347
I need your hard drives.

1313
00:51:02,434 --> 00:51:04,015
Going back how far?
What do you mean?

1314
00:51:04,311 --> 00:51:06,097
Well, I kept my
hard drives when
I'd buy a new laptop.

1315
00:51:06,855 --> 00:51:07,844
You're kidding.
No.

1316
00:51:07,940 --> 00:51:09,055
It had a record
of who owed what

1317
00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:10,184
and spreadsheets
on the players.

1318
00:51:10,276 --> 00:51:11,391
It has more
than that.

1319
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:12,770
Every time you charge
yourphone

1320
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:14,397
by plugging it
into the computer,

1321
00:51:14,488 --> 00:51:15,898
the computer takes a record

1322
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:17,696
of all your text messages
and emails.

1323
00:51:17,783 --> 00:51:19,489
My laptop has a record
of all text messages

1324
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:21,033
and emails
received years ago

1325
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:23,327
on phones that have been
smashed with an aluminum bat?

1326
00:51:23,414 --> 00:51:26,326
I wanna run a forensic
imaging on your hard drives.

1327
00:51:26,667 --> 00:51:27,702
Oh, no, thanks aanay,

1328
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:28,953
but I'll be destroying
those hard drives.

1329
00:51:29,044 --> 00:51:30,079
You can't do that,
they're evidence.

1330
00:51:30,296 --> 00:51:31,285
Well, I'm going to
blow them up.

1331
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:32,369
I'm literally going to
use explosives

1332
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:33,829
and scatter the remains
in the sea.

1333
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,130
Except you told me
they exist.

1334
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:36,297
You‘re gonna have to pretend
ldidn‘t tell you.

1335
00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:37,374
Can't do that.
Yes, you can.

1336
00:51:37,469 --> 00:51:38,675
You were the one
who wanted a lawyer

1337
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:39,922
that wasn't even
a little bit Shady.

1338
00:51:40,014 --> 00:51:41,003
New information
has come to light,

1339
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,087
and | now see that,
that was stupid.

1340
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:43,171
Molly.
There are no hard drives.

1341
00:51:43,267 --> 00:51:44,928
If you destroy evidence
and obstructjustice

1342
00:51:45,019 --> 00:51:46,054
on top of the charges

1343
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:47,851
already brought against you
in this case,

1344
00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:49,724
you will be,
I promise, incarcerated.

1345
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:52,226
You don't understand
what's in those
text messages.

1346
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:53,683
I understand
you've had boyfriends,

1347
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:54,857
and there'll be
some exchanges

1348
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,355
that are
a little bit
embarrassing...

1349
00:51:56,447 --> 00:51:57,778
I don't care
about embarrassing

1350
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:58,980
text messages
from boyfriends

1351
00:51:59,074 --> 00:52:00,063
as there is not left

1352
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:02,024
the smallest corner
of my private life

1353
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,950
that isn't available
for public scrutiny.

1354
00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:05,903
There are messages

1355
00:52:05,998 --> 00:52:07,113
that would destroy
other lives.

1356
00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:09,449
There are messages
that would end careers

1357
00:52:09,585 --> 00:52:10,665
and obliterate families.

1358
00:52:10,794 --> 00:52:13,285
If those the text messages
were to be made public...

1359
00:52:13,464 --> 00:52:14,704
They won't be.
If they were...

1360
00:52:14,798 --> 00:52:15,787
They won't be.

1361
00:52:15,883 --> 00:52:16,998
It would be
catastrophic for
many people.

1362
00:52:17,134 --> 00:52:18,374
I'm a lawyer.
I'm legally...
No.

1363
00:52:18,469 --> 00:52:20,050
Listen to me.
I'm legally prohibited

1364
00:52:20,179 --> 00:52:21,259
from disclosing
anything...

1365
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:22,969
Someone leaked
my last deposition

1366
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:24,672
to the National Enquirer,
Charlie.

1367
00:52:24,767 --> 00:52:25,756
Butterball?

1368
00:52:25,851 --> 00:52:27,136
My last lawyer‘s name
was Butterman,

1369
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:28,307
and he was
one of five people

1370
00:52:28,395 --> 00:52:29,760
in the room besides me.

1371
00:52:30,105 --> 00:52:31,845
But the information
in that deposition

1372
00:52:31,940 --> 00:52:34,101
would be nothing
compared to
the consequences

1373
00:52:34,234 --> 00:52:36,520
of those
text messages...
Ah!

1374
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:37,809
I just got it.

1375
00:52:38,364 --> 00:52:39,444
...Showing up
everwvhere.

1376
00:52:39,531 --> 00:52:40,691
lcouldn‘t figure out why

1377
00:52:40,783 --> 00:52:42,899
you named some people
but not others.

1378
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:44,824
I thought that
maybe some people paid you.

1379
00:52:44,912 --> 00:52:46,322
You were wrong.
But doesn't matter.

1380
00:52:46,497 --> 00:52:48,283
No, the only people
you named in that book

1381
00:52:48,374 --> 00:52:50,239
were the ones
that were already named

1382
00:52:50,376 --> 00:52:52,207
in the Bad Brad Marion
deposition.

1383
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:53,496
Which you think...
I know.

1384
00:52:53,587 --> 00:52:54,702
...somebody leaked it...
Sold it.

1385
00:52:54,797 --> 00:52:55,877
...to the tabloids.
Yes.

1386
00:52:55,964 --> 00:52:57,374
Maybe even Butterbean.
Butterman.

1387
00:52:57,466 --> 00:52:58,672
But I don't know
who it was.

1388
00:52:58,801 --> 00:53:00,507
I watched
Jenny McCarthy beat you up

1389
00:53:00,594 --> 00:53:01,629
for naming the players.

1390
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:02,709
Why didn't you just say,

1391
00:53:02,805 --> 00:53:04,261
"Hey, those names
are already public record."

1392
00:53:04,390 --> 00:53:06,802
I don't know. Because
lwasn't on The View
under subpoena.

1393
00:53:06,892 --> 00:53:09,008
Can we please get back
to the emails and texts?

1394
00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:10,475
IS that why you have
creative differences

1395
00:53:11,689 --> 00:53:14,146
Because they want
information you won't
give them?

1396
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:15,268
ldon't know you.
Hmm.

1397
00:53:15,359 --> 00:53:17,691
If what happened last time
were to happen this time,

1398
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:19,439
it would make
what happened last time...

1399
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,269
What is this for?

1400
00:53:21,365 --> 00:53:22,855
It's got every text message
and email

1401
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:24,235
I've sent in the last year

1402
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:26,533
as well as a variety
of incriminating evidence

1403
00:53:26,662 --> 00:53:27,822
about my clients.

1404
00:53:27,913 --> 00:53:29,369
Now if anything of yours
get leaked,

1405
00:53:29,498 --> 00:53:31,614
you can sell my phone
to the highest bidder,

1406
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,370
and I'll lose myjob
and get disbarred.

1407
00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:35,709
So in order
to demonstrate
the sanctity

1408
00:53:35,796 --> 00:53:38,208
of your attorney-client
confidentiality,

1409
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:39,708
you're betraying
the confidentiality

1410
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,915
of all your
other clients?

1411
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:43,709
I know you're not
going to look at it.

1412
00:53:44,638 --> 00:53:45,718
How do you know?

1413
00:53:46,306 --> 00:53:47,295
I don't know.

1414
00:53:53,856 --> 00:53:54,936
I'll fly home
to Colorado

1415
00:53:55,983 --> 00:53:57,223
and be back the next day
with the hard drives.

1416
00:54:00,446 --> 00:54:01,982
MOLLY: Harlan Eustice
was excited about

1417
00:54:02,072 --> 00:54:03,608
the surprise
40th birthday party

1418
00:54:03,699 --> 00:54:06,065
he was throwing for
his wife in 24 hours.

1419
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:07,946
I rented out the whole
courtyard of
The Buffalo Club.

1420
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:09,992
It'll be about
a hundred people.

1421
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,617
Kumamoto oysters,
snow crab, lobsters.

1422
00:54:12,750 --> 00:54:15,116
MOLLY: He wasn’t ticking off
menu items to show off,

1423
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:16,996
he was genuinely excited
about the party

1424
00:54:17,087 --> 00:54:18,076
he was giving his wife.

1425
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,578
She doesn't know anything
about it.

1426
00:54:19,673 --> 00:54:22,085
She thinks we're having
dinner with her brother
and his wife.

1427
00:54:22,217 --> 00:54:23,252
(MOLLY AND HARLAN CHUCKLING)

1428
00:54:23,343 --> 00:54:24,833
MOLLY: I liked Harlan.

1429
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:27,214
But nobody else liked him
except Player X.

1430
00:54:27,306 --> 00:54:30,469
He played tight,
didn't give a lot
of action,

1431
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:32,299
and always got his money
in good,

1432
00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:34,305
which means
he was running the odds.

1433
00:54:34,396 --> 00:54:36,227
DIEGO: $5,000 to call.
No.

1434
00:54:36,315 --> 00:54:38,271
MOLLY: In other words,
he was playing poker,

1435
00:54:38,609 --> 00:54:39,815
and the others
were gambling.

1436
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:43,895
And he won.

1437
00:54:45,449 --> 00:54:47,155
By midnight,
Harlan had tripled

1438
00:54:47,242 --> 00:54:49,699
his original
$50, 000 buy-in.

1439
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:52,407
But everything came off
the rails with one hand.

1440
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:55,831
And that's how it happens.
That's how you go full-tilt.

1441
00:54:56,418 --> 00:54:58,659
Harlan, the best player
at the table,

1442
00:54:58,754 --> 00:55:00,335
the best player
at most tables,

1443
00:55:00,714 --> 00:55:02,670
was about to get
bluffed off the win by,

1444
00:55:02,758 --> 00:55:05,750
of all people, Bad Brad.

1445
00:55:06,178 --> 00:55:07,258
How?

1446
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:09,803
Because Harlan had never
played with Brad before

1447
00:55:09,890 --> 00:55:12,927
and didn't know yet
that Brad was bad.

1448
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,767
Harlan's got a boat.
Nines full.

1449
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:17,969
Brad’s got nothing.

1450
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:19,930
But his pre-flop betting
made it look,

1451
00:55:20,025 --> 00:55:22,016
entirely accident/y,

1452
00:55:22,110 --> 00:55:23,691
like there was a chance
he had pocket kings.

1453
00:55:23,779 --> 00:55:24,894
HARLAN: $20,000.

1454
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:26,068
MOLLY: Which, if true,

1455
00:55:26,156 --> 00:55:27,737
would give him
the better full house.

1456
00:55:29,159 --> 00:55:30,569
Brad's counting off $20,000,

1457
00:55:30,661 --> 00:55:31,776
which means
he’s going to call.

1458
00:55:31,912 --> 00:55:32,947
And Harlan knows that

1459
00:55:33,038 --> 00:55:34,869
if Brad is going to call
and not raise,

1460
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,454
it means
he didn't have the boat

1461
00:55:36,542 --> 00:55:37,827
and he’s betting
a high two pair,

1462
00:55:37,918 --> 00:55:39,533
probably kings and queens.

1463
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:41,960
But then,
instead of calling the bet,

1464
00:55:42,047 --> 00:55:44,254
Brad pushes $72,000
into the pot.

1465
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:45,330
I'm all in.

1466
00:55:47,052 --> 00:55:48,917
Harlan looks at Brad.

1467
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:50,385
Every tell Harlan
knows about,

1468
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:53,305
carotid artery pumping,
stiff hands,

1469
00:55:53,392 --> 00:55:55,508
Brad’s doing the opposite.

1470
00:55:55,602 --> 00:55:57,138
Brad’s betting represented
a huge hand

1471
00:55:57,229 --> 00:55:58,344
by calling on the flop,

1472
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:00,850
check raising the turn,
and bombing the river.

1473
00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:02,806
Of course,
Harlan didn’t know that

1474
00:56:02,901 --> 00:56:05,142
Brad didn't know
what any of that meant.

1475
00:56:05,362 --> 00:56:07,728
So Harlan,
always a good sport, said...

1476
00:56:07,823 --> 00:56:09,939
Nice bet.
I'm laying this down.

1477
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:12,194
As he tossed in
what he didn't realize

1478
00:56:12,286 --> 00:56:14,072
was the winning hand.

1479
00:56:14,162 --> 00:56:15,993
Brad tosses in
his cards too,

1480
00:56:16,081 --> 00:56:18,072
and one of them flips over,
and Harlan sees...

1481
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:19,743
You didn't have
pocket kings?

1482
00:56:21,336 --> 00:56:23,201
I didn't have any kings,
except the one in the middle.

1483
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:26,997
You had two pair?
I had one pair.

1484
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:28,965
The nines in the middle.

1485
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:31,005
(MEN EXCLAIMING AND LAUGHING)

1486
00:56:34,558 --> 00:56:36,219
PLAYER: Harlan,
what are you thinking, man!

1487
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:38,433
Thank you.

1488
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:43,055
MOLLY: It wasn't even that
it was that much money.

1489
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:45,812
Harlan only lost about
$40,000 on the hand.

1490
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:47,559
But a circuit breaker blew,

1491
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:49,610
and Harlan was
out for blood now.

1492
00:56:49,698 --> 00:56:51,154
E veryone’s.

1493
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:54,195
You have $1 12,000
on the table.

1494
00:56:54,286 --> 00:56:55,742

another 50?

Sign here for $100,000.

1497
00:57:02,753 --> 00:57:05,415
By 5:00 am, Harlan was down
half a million.

1498
00:57:05,547 --> 00:57:07,412
He 'd abandoned everything
he knew about poker

1499
00:57:07,507 --> 00:57:08,997
and was playing
like a frat kid,

1500
00:57:09,092 --> 00:57:11,174
swinging for a home run
on every hand.

1501
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:15,052

Harlan was bleeding.

1507
00:57:34,701 --> 00:57:35,907

before work.

from Harlan Eustice.

Everybody knows it.

1519
00:57:59,518 --> 00:58:01,554
You‘re playing without
the weapons you need to win.

1520
00:58:02,521 --> 00:58:03,510
You're right.

1521
00:58:04,773 --> 00:58:06,229
All right, thank you.

1522
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:08,273

00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:17,737
”Mr. Feldstein died while
trying to get back to even. "

1527
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:19,693
Harlan never did.

1528
00:58:19,788 --> 00:58:22,029
And he never got
to his wife's birthday party.

1529
00:58:22,416 --> 00:58:24,577
She filed for divorce
two days later.

1530
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:26,666
But there was
one last punch coming

1531
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:29,119
that would put Harlan
on the floor for good.

1532
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:32,502
Harlan was heads up
against a guy

1533
00:58:32,592 --> 00:58:34,674
named Frederick
who was Austrian royalty.

1534
00:58:36,596 --> 00:58:37,631
Call.

1535
00:58:37,723 --> 00:58:39,384
Harlan had pocket queens.

1536
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:42,056
His Excellency
had ace-king.

1537
00:58:42,144 --> 00:58:44,886
They were both in
65K pre—flop.

1538
00:58:44,980 --> 00:58:46,641
Flop's queen-seven-seven.

1539
00:58:46,732 --> 00:58:48,017
Harlan has a full house again,

1540
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:49,390
queens full of sevens,

1541
00:58:49,484 --> 00:58:51,600
with three rounds
of betting in front of him.

1542
00:58:52,362 --> 00:58:54,398

MOLLY:
And the Count goes all in.

1545
00:58:59,870 --> 00:59:00,950
He wants Harlan
to think

1546
00:59:01,038 --> 00:59:02,653
he’s got two more sevens
under there.

1547
00:59:02,748 --> 00:59:04,204
Call.
"Nope, " says Harlan.

1548
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:05,576
He's not falling
for this again,

1549
00:59:05,667 --> 00:59:07,498
and he snap-calls all in.

and deals a turn.

1552
00:59:15,093 --> 00:59:16,299
A king.

1553
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:18,798
Otto von Bismarck
now has two pair,

1554
00:59:18,889 --> 00:59:20,550
kings and sevens.

1555
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,222
But two pair is nothing
next to a full house,

1556
00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:24,390
and, at this point,

1557
00:59:24,478 --> 00:59:26,434
the only hand left that can
beat a queen full house

1558
00:59:28,857 --> 00:59:30,222
is a king full house.

1559
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:35,019
Captain von Trapp
bluffed two pair

1560
00:59:35,113 --> 00:59:37,479
and rivered
into kings full.

1561
00:59:38,533 --> 00:59:40,069
Motherfucker!

1562
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,149
(SCREAMS)
Motherfucker!

1563
00:59:41,328 --> 00:59:43,034
Fuck you,
you fucking mechanic!

1564
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,235
Hey!

1565
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,447
Fuck you, you bottom-dealing
party magician!

1566
00:59:46,541 --> 00:59:47,701
Hey, get out
onto the terrace.

1567
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:49,329
You‘ve been pulling this Shit
on me for two days!

1568
00:59:49,753 --> 00:59:51,118
Come on! Come on!
Party magician!

1569
00:59:53,507 --> 00:59:54,713
You good?
I'm okay, thanks.

1570
01:00:01,014 --> 01:00:02,220
MOLLY: What the hell?

1571
01:00:02,808 --> 01:00:04,799
I'll apologize to Diego.

1572
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:06,265
Yeah.

1573
01:00:06,353 --> 01:00:07,342
And you're going
to go home.

1574
01:00:07,437 --> 01:00:08,802
I'm making a floor call,
that's it.

1575
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:11,980
Did you hear me?

1576
01:00:13,151 --> 01:00:14,482
I don't have it.

1577
01:00:18,532 --> 01:00:19,692
A million two.

1578
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,066
I don't have it.

1579
01:00:25,747 --> 01:00:26,953
I'm sorry.

1580
01:00:31,044 --> 01:00:32,159
(SIGHS)

1581
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:35,955
Go home.

1582
01:00:38,426 --> 01:00:39,541
I'm very sorry.

1583
01:00:42,556 --> 01:00:44,512
You got to tell Sheila
the truth, okay?

1584
01:00:46,977 --> 01:00:48,933
Tell her the truth.
Tell her what happened.

1585
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:50,802
And I'm gonna
help you,

1586
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:52,012
I'm gonna get you
to a meeting.

1587
01:00:53,567 --> 01:00:54,977
We‘ll meet tomorrow

1588
01:00:55,068 --> 01:00:57,309
and figure out
what to do about
the money.

1589
01:01:11,585 --> 01:01:13,371
Harlan and I didn't meet
the next day.

1590
01:01:13,461 --> 01:01:15,201
He just called me and said
everything was okay

1591
01:01:15,297 --> 01:01:16,332
and showed up
the next week

1592
01:01:16,423 --> 01:01:18,914
with a bank check
for $1,200, 000.

1593
01:01:19,509 --> 01:01:20,589
Where’d he get the money from?

1594
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,836
l loaned it to him.
Loaned it?

1595
01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:25,921
| get 50% of his wins
until the debt's paid off,

1596
01:01:26,016 --> 01:01:28,348
and then 50% for the next
two years with no exposure.

1597
01:01:29,311 --> 01:01:32,553
You‘re getting 50% of
the wins and no
exposure on the losses?

1598
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:34,512
Yeah.
First of all,

1599
01:01:34,649 --> 01:01:36,765
he'll never climb out of that.
That's Sharecropper math.

1600
01:01:37,652 --> 01:01:40,394
It's also usury.
It's racketeering.

1601
01:01:40,655 --> 01:01:42,361
Second,
you can't stake
a player

1602
01:01:42,449 --> 01:01:43,780
and play in a game
at the same time.

1603
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:45,315
I've been doing it
for two years.

1604
01:01:46,786 --> 01:01:48,697
You‘ve been staking
Harlan?
Yeah.

1605
01:01:50,165 --> 01:01:51,245
Jesus Christ.

1606
01:01:51,333 --> 01:01:52,869
It's not cheating.

1607
01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:54,286
It creates the opportunity
for it.

1608
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:55,412
Tell me how.

1609
01:01:55,503 --> 01:01:56,538
Are you kidding me?
Tell me how.

1610
01:01:56,630 --> 01:01:57,915
If you have interest
in another player
winning...

1611
01:01:58,006 --> 01:01:59,086
You think
I'm going to take a dive?

1612
01:01:59,174 --> 01:02:00,459
And if I did,
who would care?

1613
01:02:00,842 --> 01:02:02,082
You fold your hole cards.

1614
01:02:02,177 --> 01:02:03,713
Five of clubs,
jack of hearts.

1615
01:02:03,803 --> 01:02:04,838
He's still in the game.

1616
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:07,216
It would benefit him to know
that the five of clubs...

1617
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:08,387
You think I'm Signaling him?

1618
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:10,136
I'm saying
it can't fucking
happen again.

1619
01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:19,266
You disapprove of me?

1620
01:02:20,654 --> 01:02:21,734
It's not personal.

1621
01:02:21,821 --> 01:02:22,936
It feels personal
when you chat up

1622
01:02:23,031 --> 01:02:24,646
every other guy at
the game except me.

1623
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:26,902
When you stay late
for a drink with J.T.,
but never...

1624
01:02:26,993 --> 01:02:28,403
Have you visited his Oscar?

1625
01:02:28,495 --> 01:02:29,735
I think it's bolted
on the hood of his car.

1626
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:33,201
It‘s noticeable
when you go out
of your way

1627
01:02:33,291 --> 01:02:34,827
to demonstrate that
you have no interest in me.

1628
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:36,624
You did the same thing
to Dean.

1629
01:02:36,711 --> 01:02:38,702
These guys want to
play cards with me, not you.

1630
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:39,999
Be that as it may...

1631
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:41,541
You know who the biggest
winner in this game is?

1632
01:02:41,633 --> 01:02:42,668
lt'S you.

1633
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:43,919
You know who
the second-biggest
winner is?

1634
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:45,341
Look...
It‘s you.

1635
01:02:47,013 --> 01:02:49,254
What are you taking home,
$10,000 a night now?

1636
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:51,214
That is my business,
literally.

1637
01:02:51,309 --> 01:02:53,300
Between you, the dealers,
and the servers,

1638
01:02:53,395 --> 01:02:54,931
you're taking a lot of money
out of this game.

1639
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:56,636
Not as much
as I‘m bringing to it.

1640
01:02:56,731 --> 01:02:59,097
That $10,000 is $10,000
that doesn't go in
my pocket.

1641
01:02:59,317 --> 01:03:02,275
Again. My money is...
Your money is
my money.

1642
01:03:03,571 --> 01:03:04,651
Is it?

1643
01:03:05,573 --> 01:03:07,564
I think we should talk
about capping your tips.

1644
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:12,653
You want to get together
with the other players,

1645
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:16,202
who on my tax returns
are called clients,

1646
01:03:16,293 --> 01:03:18,033
and discuss putting
a ceiling on my wages?

1647
01:03:18,128 --> 01:03:19,163
That's right.

1648
01:03:20,422 --> 01:03:21,457
It‘ll be America's

(CHUCKLES)

1651
01:03:25,719 --> 01:03:29,758
Right there, right then,
that fast, I lost the game.

1652
01:03:30,307 --> 01:03:32,593
It was the next Tuesday,
game night.

1653
01:03:32,726 --> 01:03:33,932
He waited until he knew

1654
01:03:34,019 --> 01:03:35,350
I’d be on the way
to the hotel,

1655
01:03:35,437 --> 01:03:36,677
and then sent me a text.

1656
01:03:36,813 --> 01:03:37,848

1658
01:03:42,193 --> 01:03:44,149
It said, "We’re playing
at Dave '5 tonight.

1659
01:03:44,237 --> 01:03:45,522
"No need to Show up. "

1660
01:03:45,613 --> 01:03:46,648
And I knew the truth

1661
01:03:46,740 --> 01:03:48,480
even before I answered
the call that came next.

1663
01:03:55,248 --> 01:03:56,954
PLAYER X: (CHUCKLING)
You are so fucked.

1664
01:04:11,348 --> 01:04:13,384
There's no such word
as "verticality."

1665
01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:16,265
Hmm?
In the book
on page 152,

1666
01:04:16,394 --> 01:04:18,555
when you lose the game
in LA. and you come to
New York,

1667
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:20,182
you admire
the city's verticality.

1668
01:04:20,357 --> 01:04:21,392
It‘s a word.

1669
01:04:21,566 --> 01:04:22,726
Once you're in New York,

1670
01:04:22,817 --> 01:04:25,684
you talk about games lasting
all night, two nights,

1671
01:04:26,029 --> 01:04:28,566

for days, but you don't
mention drugs.

1672
01:04:29,699 --> 01:04:31,189
There were drugs.
I'm two years clean.

1673
01:04:31,326 --> 01:04:32,486
You left the drugs out
of the book.

1674
01:04:32,619 --> 01:04:34,701
You know what,
I'm not paying
you $250,000

So far you're not
paying me for anything.

ljust emailed you
"verticality"

1678
01:04:39,751 --> 01:04:41,412
from the Merriam-Webster's
dictionary.

1679
01:04:42,420 --> 01:04:43,785
What's an advance
on a book like this?

1680
01:04:45,757 --> 01:04:46,963
The advance?

(SIGHS)

1682
01:04:49,969 --> 01:04:51,004
It depends.

1683
01:04:51,096 --> 01:04:53,553
If you guarantee
the publisher certain
elements,

1684
01:04:53,681 --> 01:04:55,546
then I can get you
a million and a half.

1685
01:04:55,767 --> 01:04:57,052
Which you'd probably
double in sales,

1686
01:04:57,143 --> 01:04:58,349
plus ancillary rights.

1687
01:04:58,561 --> 01:04:59,641
What kind of elements?

1688
01:04:59,813 --> 01:05:01,269
You have to use
real names.

1689
01:05:02,273 --> 01:05:03,308
Eli...

1690
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,311
There's a guy who sits
outside my Starbucks

1691
01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:08,894
with a cardboard Sign
that says, "Vietnam Vet."

1692
01:05:09,155 --> 01:05:10,861
And every morning,
I give him a quarter.

1693
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:12,821
And right now
the only difference

1694
01:05:12,909 --> 01:05:14,115
between you and him

1695
01:05:14,202 --> 01:05:15,612
is that you have a story.

1696
01:05:15,745 --> 01:05:17,281
I'm 1,000% sure that

1697
01:05:17,372 --> 01:05:19,237
the homeless Vietnam vet
has a better one.

1698
01:05:19,499 --> 01:05:20,739
You have one asset.

1699
01:05:21,126 --> 01:05:23,492
Write your story, and I can
get you a million and a half,

1700
01:05:23,628 --> 01:05:24,743
and that's the floor.

1701
01:05:25,088 --> 01:05:27,875
Go big or go home
and live with
your mother.

1702
01:05:28,299 --> 01:05:29,630
For the rest of your life.

1703
01:05:33,179 --> 01:05:34,510
What ifI...

1704
01:05:37,350 --> 01:05:40,137
What if I told
the publishers
that I would

1705
01:05:40,895 --> 01:05:42,806
name the players
who are already named

1706
01:05:42,897 --> 01:05:44,228
in the Brad Marion
deposition.

1707
01:05:44,691 --> 01:05:45,771
All four?

1708
01:05:46,901 --> 01:05:48,766
I'll use the real names
of the players

1709
01:05:48,862 --> 01:05:50,602
who are already named
by Bad Brad.

1710
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:51,815
What if I told them that?

1711
01:05:51,906 --> 01:05:52,986
You Spent eight years
in Hollywood

1712
01:05:53,074 --> 01:05:54,439
and two years in New York
running the world's

1713
01:05:54,534 --> 01:05:57,241
must exclusive, glamorous,
and decadent man cave.

1714
01:05:57,829 --> 01:05:59,160
So what do
the publishers
get from you

1715
01:05:59,289 --> 01:06:00,449
about people
with real names?

1716
01:06:03,710 --> 01:06:05,450
My advance was $35,000.

1717
01:06:07,338 --> 01:06:08,453
Well, the first thing
I'm gonna do is

1718
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,209
get you
a minor role reduction.

1719
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:11,915
Get the 12 points
knocked down to 10.

1720
01:06:12,051 --> 01:06:13,166
What's a minor role
reduction?

1721
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,418
I'm going to argue
to the prosecutor

1722
01:06:14,554 --> 01:06:16,135
that you're an employee

1723
01:06:16,222 --> 01:06:18,008
that was hired
and fired by the players.

1724
01:06:18,183 --> 01:06:19,298
Not a chance.

1725
01:06:19,434 --> 01:06:20,469
I think
we've got a good chance.

1726
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,175
No. Not a chance
I'm letting you make
that argument.

1727
01:06:22,270 --> 01:06:23,635
Why not?
It's not true.

1728
01:06:24,606 --> 01:06:26,062
Let me explain
how the point system
works.

1729
01:06:26,191 --> 01:06:27,226
I know how it works.

1730
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:29,308
Points correspond
with the prosecutor's

1731
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:30,733
sentencing recommendation.

1732
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:31,855
You try to get
a point reduction

1733
01:06:31,946 --> 01:06:33,402
based on a variety
of factors,

1734
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:35,151
including, say,
prior criminal history,

1735
01:06:35,241 --> 01:06:36,401
which I don't have.

1736
01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:38,484
Or whether the defendant
played a minor role,

1737
01:06:38,578 --> 01:06:39,613
which I certainly
did not.

1738
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:40,944
You really think this is
a good time to hog credit?

1739
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,160
I built it from scratch.

1740
01:06:42,332 --> 01:06:43,321
No. There was
already a game

1741
01:06:43,416 --> 01:06:44,531
at the Cobra Lounge
when you came along.

1742
01:06:44,626 --> 01:06:46,412
The New York game
is what I'm talking
about,

1743
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:47,492
I built from scratch.

1744
01:06:47,754 --> 01:06:49,540
I wasn't fireable.
I made sure of that.

1745
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:51,044
So, no.

1746
01:06:52,592 --> 01:06:53,627
I wasn't really listening.

1747
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:55,208
I'm refusing you
permission

1748
01:06:55,303 --> 01:06:56,713
to seek
a minor role reduction.

1749
01:06:56,804 --> 01:06:58,010
I'm refusing you permission

1750
01:06:58,097 --> 01:06:59,507
to invalidate
my entire career.

1751
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:00,634
And I'm not caring.

1752
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:02,556
I built a successful...
Hey, do you
want kids?

1753
01:07:05,188 --> 01:07:06,473
You interested
in having a family?

1754
01:07:07,815 --> 01:07:08,895
Very much.

1755
01:07:08,983 --> 01:07:10,098
I don't get you
some point reductions,

1756
01:07:10,235 --> 01:07:11,441
and the sentencing
recommendation

1757
01:07:11,569 --> 01:07:13,275
guidelines say
8 to 12 years.

1758
01:07:13,404 --> 01:07:14,894
And that‘s before
they try to jam you up

1759
01:07:14,989 --> 01:07:16,024
more for money laundering.

1760
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:17,150
Money laundering?

1761
01:07:17,242 --> 01:07:19,028
The moment you changed
the Russians' money
for chips...

1762
01:07:19,118 --> 01:07:20,779
I would have had to
been aware where
the money was...

1763
01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:21,985
Find me 12 men and women

1764
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,490
who'll believe that
you weren't aware

1765
01:07:23,581 --> 01:07:25,196
of exactly who was sitting
at your table

1766
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:27,703
and where the money
came from. So, that's it.

1767
01:07:27,794 --> 01:07:29,705
You were
a cocktail waitress.

1768
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:36,465
MOLLY:
When I lost the LA. game,

1769
01:07:36,553 --> 01:07:38,134
I told myself
it was no big deal.

1770
01:07:39,430 --> 01:07:41,295
It was just supposed
to be an adventure

1771
01:07:41,391 --> 01:07:43,256
and a way
to meet influential people.

1772
01:07:43,518 --> 01:07:44,724
(PANTING)

1773
01:07:45,436 --> 01:07:48,178
And I'd saved
over $200, 000.

1774
01:07:50,275 --> 01:07:52,857
But that wasjust a weak
firewall I’d hastily built

1775
01:07:52,944 --> 01:07:54,980
to keep out the humiliation
and depression

1776
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:56,356
I knew was coming.

1777
01:08:00,577 --> 01:08:01,737
It had to end sometime.

1778
01:08:03,871 --> 01:08:05,862
I just thought
it would be on my time.

1779
01:08:07,292 --> 01:08:10,750
The game had given me
an identity, respect,

1780
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:14,537
and a defined place in
a world that was
inaccessible.

1781
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:18,249
And in one irrational
heartbeat it was taken away.

1782
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:24,885
l was irrelevant
and forgotten overnight.

1783
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,350
It'd been two weeks
since I lost the game,

1784
01:08:31,941 --> 01:08:33,727
and I made an appointment
to see someone,

1785
01:08:33,985 --> 01:08:36,397
because now
the humiliation
and depression

1786
01:08:36,487 --> 01:08:38,398
had given way
to blinding anger

1787
01:08:38,489 --> 01:08:39,854
at my powerlessness

1788
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:42,031
over the unfair whims
of men.

1789
01:08:44,787 --> 01:08:47,028
It was that
there weren't any rules.

1790
01:08:47,165 --> 01:08:48,826
These power moves
weren't framed

1791
01:08:48,916 --> 01:08:50,247
by right and wrong.

1792
01:08:50,335 --> 01:08:52,496
Just ego and vanity.

1793
01:08:52,587 --> 01:08:55,078
Selfish whims with no regard
for consequence.

1794
01:08:55,173 --> 01:08:57,004
No fairness,
no justice.

1795
01:08:57,133 --> 01:09:00,091
And that giggling,
cackling call from Player X.

1796
01:09:00,261 --> 01:09:01,467
PLAYER X: (CHUCKLING)
You are so fucked.

1797
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:03,670
I couldn’t lose to
that green-screened
little shit,

1798
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:06,381
and I didn’t want
a therapist to make me
feel okay about it.

1799
01:09:07,518 --> 01:09:09,759
You know what makes me
feel okay about losing?

1800
01:09:10,438 --> 01:09:11,723
Winning.

1801
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:13,979
I got on a plane
to New York.

1802
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:18,810
Wall Street.
Madison A venue.

1803
01:09:18,946 --> 01:09:22,234
Fifth Avenue. The Dakota.
The San Remo.

1804
01:09:22,575 --> 01:09:24,987
The players were here,
ljust had to bait the hook.

1805
01:09:26,037 --> 01:09:28,824
This time
I didn't have movie stars.

1806
01:09:29,415 --> 01:09:31,781
This time
I used Playboy Playmates.

1807
01:09:32,168 --> 01:09:34,329
These weren't
just any Playmates.

1808
01:09:34,712 --> 01:09:36,293
Jesse was
a Puerto Rican knockout

1809
01:09:36,381 --> 01:09:38,087
who grew up working
in card rooms

1810
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:39,584
and was a good
player herself

1811
01:09:40,301 --> 01:09:41,541
I could stake her,

1812
01:09:41,636 --> 01:09:42,625
infiltrate other games,

1813
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,926
and peach
their big-ticket players.

1814
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:45,002
Ready to make some money?

1815
01:09:45,098 --> 01:09:46,429
Shelby could write code

1816
01:09:46,516 --> 01:09:47,926
and run more thorough
background checks

1817
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:49,052
than the TSA.

1818
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:50,349
Here's your account
at Citibank.

1819
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:52,176
MOLLY: Winston was
the daughter

1820
01:09:52,271 --> 01:09:53,351
of an American diplomat.

1821
01:09:53,898 --> 01:09:55,388
She's lived
in nine different countries

1822
01:09:55,483 --> 01:09:56,814
and had the email addresses

1823
01:09:56,901 --> 01:09:58,641
of half
the Saudi royal family.

1824
01:09:59,737 --> 01:10:01,352
MOLLY: Who's
the biggest game
in Manhattan?

1825
01:10:01,447 --> 01:10:02,436
On any given night

1826
01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:04,488
it's either Teddy Chin
or Tutti Toscano.

1827
01:10:04,784 --> 01:10:06,866
But that's Manhattan.
What do you mean?

1828
01:10:06,953 --> 01:10:09,239
The biggest game
in New York is
in Brooklyn.

1829
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:10,612
Russian Jews.

1830
01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:13,790
Buy-in's 100k,
no one runs the game,
theyjust play and pay.

1831
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:15,750
MOLLY: We couldn't
promise anyone

1832
01:10:15,837 --> 01:10:17,702
they'd rub elbows
with movie stars,

1833
01:10:17,797 --> 01:10:20,163
but New York has
one thing Hollywood
doesn’t.

1834
01:10:20,425 --> 01:10:21,414
The Yankees.

1835
01:10:21,676 --> 01:10:23,132
And there was one Yankee
in particular

1836
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:25,801
that every man in America
would line up to lose to.

1837
01:10:25,888 --> 01:10:27,128
Don't say his name
out loud.

1838
01:10:27,223 --> 01:10:28,884
Write it on
a cocktail napkin.

1839
01:10:29,058 --> 01:10:30,173
Crumple the napkin up.

1840
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:31,515
Put it in
a glass of water,

1841
01:10:31,602 --> 01:10:32,887
so they can see
the ink dissolve.

1842
01:10:33,312 --> 01:10:34,392
That‘s really
necessary?

1843
01:10:34,522 --> 01:10:35,682
No, it's not at
all necessary.

1844
01:10:35,982 --> 01:10:37,472
When do we tell them
the game is going
to start?

1845
01:10:38,443 --> 01:10:39,774
Tell them
it's been happening

1846
01:10:39,861 --> 01:10:41,817
once a week
for about six months

1847
01:10:41,904 --> 01:10:43,610
at a location
you won't disclose
right now.

1848
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:45,734
There's a pretty long
waiting list for a chair,

1849
01:10:45,825 --> 01:10:49,613
but Molly's here somewhere,
and I'll introduce you
to her.

1850
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:52,161
50k buy-in,
blinds are five and one?

1851
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:53,951
Yeah, 50...

1852
01:10:57,837 --> 01:10:59,748
Mol? 50k buy-in?

1853
01:11:00,298 --> 01:11:02,505
N0. 250.

1854
01:11:03,384 --> 01:11:04,749
That's gonna make noise.

1855
01:11:05,178 --> 01:11:07,510
Enough to be heard
on Rodeo Drive.

1856
01:11:10,683 --> 01:11:11,843
(BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING)

1857
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:13,265
The Gold Coast
of Long Island

1858
01:11:13,352 --> 01:11:14,888
has been home
to the Vanderbilts,

1859
01:11:15,021 --> 01:11:16,602
Roosevelts, Whitneys,

1860
01:11:16,731 --> 01:11:18,847
J. P. Morgan,
and F.W. Woolworth.

1861
01:11:19,025 --> 01:11:20,481
It's an impossible ticket
to get.

1862
01:11:21,444 --> 01:11:22,684
But I can talk
to Molly.

1863
01:11:22,779 --> 01:11:25,020
MOLLY: Tonight was
a $10, 000—per-person
fundraiser

1864
01:11:25,156 --> 01:11:26,441
to pay for major
renovations

1865
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:27,988
at the East Hampton
Yacht Club.

1866
01:11:28,201 --> 01:11:29,486
Molly's around
here somewhere.

1867
01:11:29,619 --> 01:11:31,484
I could introduce you,
but I wouldn't get
my hopes up.

1868
01:11:31,662 --> 01:11:32,651
MOLLY: That's for real.

1869
01:11:32,747 --> 01:11:34,157
There was a charity event
for residents

1870
01:11:34,248 --> 01:11:35,784
of the Hamptons
who own yachts.

1871
01:11:36,292 --> 01:11:38,749
In my business, that’s called
a target-rich environment.

1872
01:11:38,836 --> 01:11:41,828
l have to tell you, the
initial buy-in iS $250,000.

1873
01:11:41,923 --> 01:11:44,790
$250,000? That's almost
as much as my second car.

1874
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:47,966
Do your friends come
to the games?

1875
01:11:48,137 --> 01:11:49,172
Mmm-hmm.

1876
01:11:49,263 --> 01:11:50,423
MOLLY:
It took only
seven weeks of

1877
01:11:50,515 --> 01:11:51,755
recruiting to get
ten players

1878
01:11:51,849 --> 01:11:53,430
and seven on a waiting list.

1879
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:54,924
And in these circles,

1880
01:11:55,019 --> 01:11:57,431
that was more than enough
to start the mythology.

1881
01:11:58,314 --> 01:11:59,850
By morning,
gamblers would be

1882
01:11:59,941 --> 01:12:02,227
telling and hearing stories
about this game in London,

1883
01:12:02,610 --> 01:12:03,690
Tokyo, and Dubai.

1884
01:12:03,778 --> 01:12:04,813
Allin.

1885
01:12:04,904 --> 01:12:05,984
At the end of that year,

1886
01:12:06,072 --> 01:12:10,987
I reported an income
of $4, 773, 000,

1887
01:12:11,202 --> 01:12:13,909
every square inch of it
legal and on the books.

1888
01:12:14,497 --> 01:12:16,863
l was the biggest
game runner in the world.

1889
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:20,117
All tips.
I still hadn't
taken a rake.

1890
01:12:20,336 --> 01:12:21,792
And I still hadn't
accidentally recruited

1891
01:12:21,879 --> 01:12:23,790
members of
a Russian crime syndicate.

1892
01:12:24,549 --> 01:12:27,086
In the beginning,
I was using drugs
to stay awake.

1893
01:12:27,385 --> 01:12:28,465
First Adderall,

1894
01:12:28,594 --> 01:12:31,427
then Adderall crushed up
to defeat the time release.

1895
01:12:31,514 --> 01:12:34,847
Then coke, Valium, Vicodin,
Percocet, and more Adderall.

1896
01:12:35,434 --> 01:12:37,971
I rented a penthouse apartment
and installed plasma screens

1897
01:12:38,062 --> 01:12:39,268
for the sports betters.

1898
01:12:39,939 --> 01:12:41,099
I had the lower-stakes games

1899
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,772
on Wednesdays, Thursdays,
and Sundays at my place,

1900
01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:46,067
with Tuesday night
at the Plaza being
the big game.

1901
01:12:46,779 --> 01:12:47,985
At 7:00, the dealers came,

1902
01:12:48,072 --> 01:12:49,528
and the table was set up
and polished,

1903
01:12:49,615 --> 01:12:51,151
and 10 chairs were placed
around it,

1904
01:12:51,242 --> 01:12:52,857
exactly 12 inches apart.

1905
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,109
I used custom chips

1906
01:12:55,204 --> 01:12:57,695
and two dealers who worked
an hour on, an hour off,

1907
01:12:57,790 --> 01:13:00,202
with a new crew coming in
after 12 hours.

1908
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:03,080
Casinos had discovered that
certain scents

1909
01:13:03,170 --> 01:13:05,456
make people more likely
to place big bets.

1910
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:08,164
The casinos pump those scents
in through the ventilation.

1911
01:13:08,676 --> 01:13:10,166
I had custom candles made.

1912
01:13:11,846 --> 01:13:14,178
I’d been working with
a new dealer named "B. "

1913
01:13:14,307 --> 01:13:16,218
Not like Beatrice,
just the initial.

1914
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:18,762
She'd been working
in trashy card rooms

1915
01:13:18,853 --> 01:13:20,844
on the East Side,
and we became friends.

1916
01:13:22,315 --> 01:13:23,555
Tone it down.

1917
01:13:23,649 --> 01:13:25,264
The big players
don't like fast hands.

1918
01:13:28,779 --> 01:13:31,236
Sarcastic dealing, cool.

1919
01:13:31,908 --> 01:13:34,490
You've gotta do it.
Not doing it is insanity.

1920
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:36,238
You must be able
to see that?

1921
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:38,990
You‘ve been stiffed four
or five times,

1922
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:41,367
you've got hundreds
of thousands on the street.

1923
01:13:41,459 --> 01:13:42,949
That's money
you're never gonna
see again.

1924
01:13:44,045 --> 01:13:46,457
MOLLY: B had been suggesting
it for a long time.

1925
01:13:47,256 --> 01:13:48,666
(DOORBELL RINGS)
She was suggesting it again

1926
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:50,373
because of an incident
the week before.

1927
01:13:50,468 --> 01:13:51,628
Hey, Cole.
Hey.

1928
01:13:51,719 --> 01:13:53,801
Come on in.
Thanks.
You got my check?

1929
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:57,422
I do. It's right here.
Thank you.

1930
01:13:57,516 --> 01:13:59,677
Hey, can I show you
something on TV?

1931
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:01,885
Actually,
I'm in kind Of a hurry.

1932
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:03,435
It'll just take a second.
Have a seat.

1933
01:14:06,776 --> 01:14:08,812
This is last
Tuesday's game.

1934
01:14:09,403 --> 01:14:10,438
Shit, Molly,

1935
01:14:10,529 --> 01:14:12,144
if the guys find out
you've got cameras
on them,

1936
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:13,445
they're gonna go nuts.

1937
01:14:14,075 --> 01:14:15,940
Yeah. That's you
in the seventh chair.

1938
01:14:16,035 --> 01:14:17,150
Look at your stack
of chips.

1939
01:14:17,244 --> 01:14:18,575
I've got a cab
downstairs. Can we just...

1940
01:14:18,663 --> 01:14:19,743
Look at the time stamp.

1941
01:14:20,164 --> 01:14:21,870
1:06 am.

1942
01:14:22,291 --> 01:14:23,906
Let's fast-forward
to 1:07.

1943
01:14:24,001 --> 01:14:25,866
1:07 you lose a hand
to Boosty.

1944
01:14:26,128 --> 01:14:28,244
What is this?
1:08...

1945
01:14:28,464 --> 01:14:29,874
Our Sheets say
you didn't buy in again

1946
01:14:30,007 --> 01:14:31,463
between 1:06 and 1:08.

1947
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:33,750
But look at that.
Your stack's bigger.

1948
01:14:33,928 --> 01:14:35,168
I can explain.
It's just...

1949
01:14:35,304 --> 01:14:36,293
Okay, let's rewind.

1950
01:14:36,430 --> 01:14:38,512
This screen's got
the dealer changeover

1951
01:14:38,641 --> 01:14:41,303
while at the same time
on this screen, and...

1952
01:14:43,396 --> 01:14:44,602
There we are.

1953
01:14:44,689 --> 01:14:47,021
This is why
I can't reconcile $57,000

1954
01:14:47,108 --> 01:14:48,223
from Tuesday's game.

1955
01:14:48,359 --> 01:14:49,815
A 7-Eleven's
got security cameras

1956
01:14:49,902 --> 01:14:50,891
on their slushie machine.

1957
01:14:50,987 --> 01:14:52,602
I've got a million dollars
changing hands

1958
01:14:52,697 --> 01:14:54,312
every two minutes, imbecile.

1959
01:14:54,448 --> 01:14:56,188
You don't think
I've got eyes on the table?

1960
01:14:58,995 --> 01:15:00,201
Relax.

1961
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:06,449
l... I owe people money.
I know.

1962
01:15:06,585 --> 01:15:08,075
Why isn't it coming
from the trust fund?

1963
01:15:08,170 --> 01:15:10,331
I need my parents'
permission to get
that much.

1964
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:11,954
And they'd kill me.

1965
01:15:12,049 --> 01:15:13,289
You don't even understand
what it's like.

1966
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:15,212
People just don't realize
trust fund kids

1967
01:15:15,302 --> 01:15:16,838
are suffering
in this economy too.

1968
01:15:16,971 --> 01:15:18,427
I realize
what I did was wrong...

1969
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,050
Did it take a lot of
soul-searching to

1970
01:15:20,141 --> 01:15:21,130
get you there?
I meant that...

1971
01:15:21,225 --> 01:15:22,214
First Ofall,

1972
01:15:22,309 --> 01:15:23,549
the guys that are making
the counterfeit chips,

1973
01:15:23,644 --> 01:15:24,884
they're taking you
for a ride.

1974
01:15:24,979 --> 01:15:26,970
They know that there
are signatures built in
the chips,

1975
01:15:27,064 --> 01:15:29,680
exact weight,
infrared markings...

1976
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:31,561
(GASPS)
Breathe. Second...

1977
01:15:31,652 --> 01:15:33,017
Don't try this
at anyone else's game,

1978
01:15:33,112 --> 01:15:34,272
because if you do,

1979
01:15:34,363 --> 01:15:35,478
they're gonna express
their anger

1980
01:15:35,573 --> 01:15:37,529
in a much different way
than I am.

1981
01:15:37,825 --> 01:15:39,406
You owe me $57,000.

1982
01:15:39,493 --> 01:15:40,858
When I get it,
you get the tape.

1983
01:15:40,953 --> 01:15:42,068
But until then,

1984
01:15:42,163 --> 01:15:44,575
you don't play
in anyone's game.

1985
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:47,327
So, when Tuesday night
came, B was at it again.

1986
01:15:47,418 --> 01:15:49,079
B: Your exposure's crazy.

1987
01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:51,244
It's not if, it's when.

1988
01:15:51,505 --> 01:15:52,620
You're gonna get
blown up.

1989
01:15:53,340 --> 01:15:55,001
Your risk is nuts.

1990
01:15:55,926 --> 01:15:58,258
If I took a rake, this game
would no longer be legal.

1991
01:15:58,345 --> 01:15:59,505
And if you can't cover,

1992
01:15:59,597 --> 01:16:01,303
this game
will no longer exist.

1993
01:16:02,141 --> 01:16:03,472
You're the bank now.

1994
01:16:04,101 --> 01:16:06,057
You‘re guaranteeing
the game.

1995
01:16:08,939 --> 01:16:11,772
If you see a hand
you don't want to carry,

1996
01:16:11,859 --> 01:16:13,224
just look at me,

1997
01:16:13,569 --> 01:16:15,309
flash me a number,

1998
01:16:15,404 --> 01:16:16,769
and I'll take it off
the table.

1999
01:16:18,908 --> 01:16:21,194
Most runners
cap it at 5%.

2000
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:24,785
I'll see you
out there.
See you out there.

2001
01:16:24,914 --> 01:16:26,029
(SCOFFS)

2002
01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:28,413
(DOOR CLOSES)

2003
01:16:43,682 --> 01:16:45,172
MOLLY: Two weeks later,
around 2:00 am,

2004
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:48,009
there was a pot that was up
to $1.3 million pre-flop.

2005
01:16:48,104 --> 01:16:49,093
PLAYER: Call.

2006
01:16:49,188 --> 01:16:50,473
MOLLY:
With five players still in.

2007
01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:54,561
My hope was that the flop
would chase four of them off.

2008
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,059
PLAYER: $200,000.

2009
01:16:57,154 --> 01:16:58,360
Raise $100,000.

2010
01:17:01,408 --> 01:17:03,239
$300,000 to you, sir.

2011
01:17:03,327 --> 01:17:04,442
Call.

2012
01:17:05,246 --> 01:17:07,612
MOLLY: There was now
$2.1 million on the table.

2013
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:12,207
$300,000 to you, sir.

2014
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:15,870
Plus 200.

2015
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:17,501
MOLLY: $2. 6 million.

2016
01:17:24,515 --> 01:17:25,721
$3 million.

2017
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:27,848
She was right.

2018
01:17:27,935 --> 01:17:29,926
l was extending credit.
Big numbers.

2019
01:17:30,020 --> 01:17:31,351
And it’s not like
Harlan Eustice

2020
01:17:31,438 --> 01:17:33,599
hadn’t already put
the fear of God into me.

2021
01:17:34,024 --> 01:17:37,312
lfl couldn't pay
one time, that’d be
the end ofthe game.

2022
01:17:38,237 --> 01:17:39,602
l was the house.

2023
01:17:43,492 --> 01:17:45,778
That’s how quickly
[made the decision.

2024
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:49,991
B calculated 2% of the pot
and took it off the table.

2025
01:17:52,918 --> 01:17:54,033
That was it.

2026
01:17:54,128 --> 01:17:55,117
I had just taken a rake

2027
01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:59,171
in violation
of U. S. Criminal Code 1955.

2028
01:18:04,763 --> 01:18:06,845
It’s time
to introduce Douglas Downey,

2029
01:18:06,932 --> 01:18:09,173
’cause Downey's gonna
take us all the way home.

2030
01:18:09,268 --> 01:18:10,849
Downey was a drunk,
and he'd stay after the game

2031
01:18:10,936 --> 01:18:12,722
and hang out
while I did the books.

2032
01:18:13,731 --> 01:18:15,471
He was hard to understand
when he was drunk,

2033
01:18:15,566 --> 01:18:17,272
and his conversation openers
would always sound like

2034
01:18:17,359 --> 01:18:19,065
the title
of a detective novel.

2035
01:18:19,445 --> 01:18:21,185
Victim of circumstance.

2036
01:18:21,906 --> 01:18:22,941
Yeah.

2037
01:18:25,910 --> 01:18:27,650
Story of,

2038
01:18:28,662 --> 01:18:31,324
Story of my proverbial,
you know...

2039
01:18:36,420 --> 01:18:38,251
Life?
Life.

2040
01:18:39,673 --> 01:18:41,004
MOLLY: He'd talk
about his marriage.

2041
01:18:41,717 --> 01:18:43,673
I married young, Mol.

2042
01:18:44,887 --> 01:18:47,503
I married young,
and I married dull.

2043
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,258
If I‘d been born in
Greenwich instead
of Flushing...

2044
01:18:51,352 --> 01:18:52,762
MOLLY: He talked about
wanting a better life.

2045
01:18:52,853 --> 01:18:54,263
New Canaan.

2046
01:18:54,396 --> 01:18:59,106
Gone to Rye Country Day.
Princeton.

2047
01:19:00,903 --> 01:19:02,359
The life I'd have.

2048
01:19:03,447 --> 01:19:04,857
The wife I'd have.

2049
01:19:04,949 --> 01:19:06,655
I'd be a player.

2050

(CHUCKLES)

2051
01:19:10,204 --> 01:19:11,694
Victim of
circumstance.

2052
01:19:15,584 --> 01:19:18,121
MOI, these are things
I only say to you.

2053
01:19:19,046 --> 01:19:20,252
Good call.

2054
01:19:20,339 --> 01:19:23,001
And he'd talk about
another game he played in.

2055
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:24,707
It was the Brooklyn game.

2056
01:19:24,802 --> 01:19:25,962
The Brighton Beach game

2057
01:19:26,053 --> 01:19:28,260
where they played all night
and all day.

2058
01:19:28,347 --> 01:19:30,508
The game that was populated
by Russians.

2059
01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:32,681
I'm the only Irish guy
they‘ll let play.

2060
01:19:33,852 --> 01:19:37,185
Mol, these are
the nicest guys
I've ever met.

2061
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:40,852
Then one night,
Douglas Downey
lost $80, 000 at my game

2062
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:41,978
and didn't have it.

2063
01:19:42,528 --> 01:19:44,189
Winston, can I have
the room, please?

2064
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:45,645
Sure.

2065
01:19:45,739 --> 01:19:47,195
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hmm.

2066
01:19:51,537 --> 01:19:53,528
You won
$1 90,000 last week.

2067
01:19:53,622 --> 01:19:56,785
lowe Teddy Chin
and Tutti... (SIGHS)

2068
01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:58,786
Right.
And some
sports bets.

2069
01:19:58,877 --> 01:20:01,459
I'm a winner trapped inside
the body ofa...

2070
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:02,753
Stop.
Yeah.

2071
01:20:03,716 --> 01:20:05,297
The Brooklyn game.

2072
01:20:06,135 --> 01:20:07,466
IS everything
I've heard true?

2073
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,301
What have you heard?

2074
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:10,673
The Russians have
deep pockets,

2075
01:20:10,764 --> 01:20:12,880
bad at poker,
give action,
pay instantly,

2076
01:20:12,975 --> 01:20:15,216
and wear a coat and tie.
That's all true.

2077
01:20:19,940 --> 01:20:20,975
Bring me some
of those players,

2078
01:20:21,108 --> 01:20:22,188
and I'll give you
a piece of the game

2079
01:20:22,318 --> 01:20:23,478
until your 80k
is paid down.

2080
01:20:24,403 --> 01:20:26,439
Loser is what
I was gonna say.

2081
01:20:26,530 --> 01:20:28,191
Winner trapped inside
the body of a...

2082
01:20:28,282 --> 01:20:29,988
I know. Got it.
...loser.

2083
01:20:30,075 --> 01:20:31,360
Can you bring me
some players?

2084
01:20:31,452 --> 01:20:33,238
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.

2085
01:20:33,871 --> 01:20:35,907
Do you understand
the deal I'm offering
you?

2086
01:20:35,998 --> 01:20:38,330
NO, I'm saying this
because you're Irish,

2087
01:20:38,625 --> 01:20:40,490
and they may not want
to play in your game.

2088
01:20:40,586 --> 01:20:42,201
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.

2089
01:20:42,338 --> 01:20:43,498
I'm not Irish.

2090
01:20:43,756 --> 01:20:44,996
(CHUCKLES)

2091
01:20:46,842 --> 01:20:48,548
You're not?
No.

2092
01:20:50,637 --> 01:20:51,752
Molly Bloom?

2093
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,587
You‘re thinking of
the James Joyce
character.

2094
01:20:55,559 --> 01:20:57,470
| always thought
you were Irish.

2095
01:20:58,062 --> 01:20:59,848
I'm not. Can you bring
me some players?

2096
01:20:59,980 --> 01:21:02,642
Isn't there
a famous book...
Okay, Douglas, focus up.

2097
01:21:02,733 --> 01:21:05,065
Yes, there's a book
by James Joyce
called Ulysses,

2098
01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:06,312
and there's a character
named Molly Bloom,

2099
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:07,939
and that is why
you think I'm Irish,

2100
01:21:08,030 --> 01:21:09,986
but now it's time
to move past that.

2101
01:21:10,074 --> 01:21:12,030
Can you bring me
some Brighton Beach
players?

2102
01:21:15,037 --> 01:21:16,493
If you're not Irish,
what are you?

2103
01:21:17,498 --> 01:21:18,954
I'm a Russian Jew.

2104
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:21,832
The next week
I had some new players.

2105
01:21:22,294 --> 01:21:23,659
Mike was the first one
to arrive.

2106
01:21:23,754 --> 01:21:25,290
Good evening.
I'm Jesse.
I'm Mike Davidoff.

2107
01:21:25,381 --> 01:21:27,042
MOLLY: Mike owned a chain
of medical clinics

2108
01:21:27,132 --> 01:21:29,589
and had already posted
with a wire transfer.

2109
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:31,337
Next were
the Gershen brothers,

2110
01:21:31,428 --> 01:21:32,793
lllya and Alexei.

2111
01:21:32,888 --> 01:21:35,345
They were in the business
of exporting steel to China.

2112
01:21:35,432 --> 01:21:36,968
Alexei brought a quarter
of a million dollars

2113
01:21:37,059 --> 01:21:38,344
in cash in a backpack.

2114
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,595
Mr. Habib, good evening.
I'm Shelby.

2115
01:21:42,815 --> 01:21:45,682
(CHUCKLES) I'm Shelly.
Only one letter's
different.

2116
01:21:46,276 --> 01:21:47,391
Also, I'm a billionaire.

2117
01:21:47,528 --> 01:21:48,517
I think I may have
seen you naked.

2118
01:21:48,695 --> 01:21:50,686
No. You would remember.

2119
01:21:51,323 --> 01:21:52,938
MOLLY: And then
Shelly Habib.

2120
01:21:53,033 --> 01:21:54,864
The Habib family owns
the largest collection

2121
01:21:54,952 --> 01:21:56,533
of classical art
in the world,

2122
01:21:56,620 --> 01:21:58,360
valued at $3 billion,

2123
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:01,037
and Shelly runs the Hallie
Gallery on Madison Avenue.

2124
01:22:01,166 --> 01:22:03,999
As fortonight, lwas
not able to put my hands
on cash today,

2125
01:22:04,086 --> 01:22:06,702
because I woke up
this morning after
the banks had closed.

2126
01:22:06,797 --> 01:22:08,207
So, I'm hoping
you'll accept this

2127
01:22:08,298 --> 01:22:09,754
as temporary collateral.

2128
01:22:12,845 --> 01:22:16,133
That is an authentic Monet.

2129
01:22:16,223 --> 01:22:17,759
Grabbed it right
off the wall.

2130
01:22:18,976 --> 01:22:21,137
You came over here
carrying a Monet?

2131
01:22:21,228 --> 01:22:24,436
lwas driven, and l have
security outside the door.

2132
01:22:24,523 --> 01:22:26,104
Okay, Shelly.

2133
01:22:26,191 --> 01:22:29,399
Here's what I need you to do.
I need you to get this, what,

2134
01:22:29,486 --> 01:22:30,521
four?
Seven.

2135
01:22:30,612 --> 01:22:32,694
$7 million painting
out of here right now.

2136
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:35,272
And you're,
I assume, armed?
Sure.

2137
01:22:35,367 --> 01:22:36,903
Security can't stand
in front of the door.

2138
01:22:37,119 --> 01:22:38,905
Fix this up, come on back,

2139
01:22:38,996 --> 01:22:41,282
and I'll extend
you credit tonight
up to one and a half.

2140
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:43,781
You‘re a very
beautiful woman.

2141
01:22:44,209 --> 01:22:45,494
Please be careful
with the painting.

2142
01:22:45,586 --> 01:22:46,666
Always.

2143
01:22:47,004 --> 01:22:49,746
MOLLY: Mike, lllya, Alexei,
and Shelly.

2144
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,831
Those were the players
Doug Downey brought me.

2145
01:22:51,925 --> 01:22:54,416
As advertised, they played
loose, gave action,

2146
01:22:54,511 --> 01:22:57,423
lost to the regulars,
and settled right away.

2147
01:22:57,514 --> 01:22:58,799
People have asked,

2148
01:22:58,891 --> 01:23:00,552
”Wasn’t there any way
to tell that some
of the players

2149
01:23:00,642 --> 01:23:01,927
"at your game
were connected

2150
01:23:02,019 --> 01:23:03,134
"to one of the darkest,

01:23:03,228 --> 01:23:04,559
"and far-reaching organized

01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:06,386
"crime syndicates
in the world?"

2153
01:23:06,482 --> 01:23:08,393
No. There wasn’t.

2154
01:23:09,026 --> 01:23:10,982
I'm gonna go all in.
ALL: Aww!

2155
01:24:04,081 --> 01:24:05,446
(DOOR CLOSES)

2156
01:24:05,541 --> 01:24:06,781
(SIGHS)

2157
01:24:08,377 --> 01:24:09,537
lwish I had better news.

2158
01:24:10,837 --> 01:24:13,328
Harrison Wellstone
didn't go for the minor
role reduction?

2159
01:24:13,423 --> 01:24:14,833
No.

2160
01:24:14,925 --> 01:24:16,461
He didn't buy
that l was
a cocktail waitress?

2161
01:24:16,552 --> 01:24:17,917
No.
Aww.

2162
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:19,418
Is it because I wasn't?

2163
01:24:19,555 --> 01:24:22,297
Hey, I tried, which is what
you're not paying me to do.

2164
01:24:22,432 --> 01:24:23,547
So, what now?

2165
01:24:23,642 --> 01:24:24,927
The government is
expressing an interest

2166
01:24:25,018 --> 01:24:26,349
in you being
a cooperating witness.

2167
01:24:26,436 --> 01:24:27,471
You don‘t say?

2168
01:24:27,563 --> 01:24:28,678
Molly.
Who could have
possibly

2169
01:24:28,772 --> 01:24:30,353
seen that coming?
Let's have
the conversation.

2170
01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:31,680
It'll be Short,
because I don't know

2171
01:24:31,775 --> 01:24:32,855
anything at all
that can help them.

2172
01:24:32,943 --> 01:24:34,433
You don't know anything that
can help them convict

2173
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:35,938
the Russians, but you know
things that can help them.

2174
01:24:36,029 --> 01:24:38,361
Did you know that
97% of federal cases

2175
01:24:38,448 --> 01:24:39,688
never make it to trial?

2176
01:24:39,783 --> 01:24:41,819
Even though the chances
of being convicted at trial

2177
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:42,945
is a little more
than one in 100?

2178
01:24:43,078 --> 01:24:44,488
If you want to go to trial,
that's fine.

2179
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:47,203
But it's gonna
cost you in the area
of $3.5 million.

2180
01:24:47,332 --> 01:24:48,868
Which the Justice Department
knows I don‘t have,

2181
01:24:48,959 --> 01:24:51,075
because they took all
my money in a civil forfeiture

2182
01:24:51,169 --> 01:24:54,081
which they can do
without a warrant,
because my property

2183
01:24:54,172 --> 01:24:55,787
doesn't have
a presumption
of innocence.

2184
01:24:55,924 --> 01:24:58,040
Then after I'm arrested
by 17 agents

2185
01:24:58,135 --> 01:24:59,500
holding automatic weapons...

2186
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:02,007
Totally necessary,
not at all meant
to intimidate me...

2187
01:25:02,097 --> 01:25:03,382
I'm given two days
to hire a lawyer

2188
01:25:03,473 --> 01:25:04,508
and appear in a courtroom

2189
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:05,635
on the other side
of the country.

2190
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:06,761
If you're saying that

2191
01:25:06,852 --> 01:25:08,717
everything that happens from
the moment you are arrested

2192
01:25:08,812 --> 01:25:10,643
is designed to persuade you
to plead guilty,

2193
01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:11,807
you are correct.

2194
01:25:11,898 --> 01:25:13,104
So, tell me all the ways
I can help,

2195
01:25:13,233 --> 01:25:14,473
because I really feel
I owe it to them.

2196
01:25:15,193 --> 01:25:16,399
Oh, Speaking of owing,

2197
01:25:16,486 --> 01:25:18,772
the IRS put a tax lien on
the money they took from me.

2198
01:25:18,864 --> 01:25:20,695
Are you kidding...
(SIGHS)

2199
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:21,817
All right.
None of that matters.

2200
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:23,114
Taking my money
wasn't a tax.

2201
01:25:23,201 --> 01:25:25,032
I also need to give them
my money,

2202
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:26,826
or they will
take it again.
None of that matters.

2203
01:25:26,955 --> 01:25:28,286
It needed to be said.
Not really.

2204
01:25:28,415 --> 01:25:29,905
So, to be clear,
you're not interested

2205
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,080
in entering
a cooperation agreement

2206
01:25:31,168 --> 01:25:32,157
with the prosecutors?

2207
01:25:32,252 --> 01:25:33,913
If I had testimony
that would lead

2208
01:25:34,004 --> 01:25:35,244
to the conviction
of a bad guy,

2209
01:25:35,339 --> 01:25:38,046
no one would have to
coerce me into cooperating.

2210
01:25:38,216 --> 01:25:40,002
But I don't.
I have dirt.

2211
01:25:40,177 --> 01:25:41,713
l have dish.
I have gossip.

2212
01:25:41,803 --> 01:25:43,293
So, my value
to the prosecution

2213
01:25:43,388 --> 01:25:45,925
is exactly the same
as it is to Hollywood.

2214
01:25:46,016 --> 01:25:47,051
I'm here to ensure

2215
01:25:47,142 --> 01:25:48,882
the New York Post
covers the trial.

2216
01:25:48,977 --> 01:25:50,217
I'm here to sell tickets.

2217
01:25:50,312 --> 01:25:52,678
Which is nonetheless
value to the prosecution,

2218
01:25:52,773 --> 01:25:54,604
so what we do
is leverage it

2219
01:25:54,691 --> 01:25:56,306
to get you a favorable
sentencing recommendation.

2220
01:25:56,401 --> 01:25:57,436
Or, better yet,

2221
01:25:57,527 --> 01:25:58,516
complete immunity. What!
(KNOCK ON DOOR)

2222
01:26:00,822 --> 01:26:02,153
0h. Hey, honey.
Hey, Stella.

2223
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:03,275
Hey.

01:26:04,951 --> 01:26:06,657
What does he have
you doing now?

2225
01:26:06,745 --> 01:26:07,905
An essay on
three poems

2226

Um...

Circe?

2404
01:33:02,535 --> 01:33:03,695
Used to play
in Teddy Chin's game?

2405
01:33:03,787 --> 01:33:04,776
Nope.

2406
01:33:05,121 --> 01:33:06,861
Circe did not play
in Teddy's game.

2407
01:33:06,956 --> 01:33:08,947
She was the Greek
goddess of magic.

2408
01:33:09,042 --> 01:33:11,784
And she gave men feasts
with wine and honey,

2409
01:33:11,878 --> 01:33:13,960
and then turned them
into swine.

2410

VVhy?

2411
01:33:15,381 --> 01:33:16,871

2412

I would never
do that to you.

2413
01:33:20,470 --> 01:33:22,426
Missed the point
by miles, but that's
okay.

2414

Yeah.

much more about
each other

We were friends.

2427

a competitive athlete.

Hey, Molly,
can I ask you something?

2435
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,155
MOLLY: Pat asked me a favor.

2436
01:34:28,246 --> 01:34:30,453
He said there were
a couple of hedge fund
guys in New Jersey

2437
01:34:30,540 --> 01:34:31,620
who wanted to play,

2438
01:34:31,708 --> 01:34:32,914
and he could score points
with them

2439
01:34:33,001 --> 01:34:34,741
if he was able to get them
a meeting with me.

2440
01:34:34,836 --> 01:34:36,451
I said sure,
and set the meeting

2441
01:34:36,546 --> 01:34:38,002
for 5:00 p. m.
on a Thursday

2442
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:39,374
at the Four Seasons bar,

2443
01:34:39,465 --> 01:34:41,046
knowing that
if they were legit,

2444
01:34:41,134 --> 01:34:42,419
they'd recognize someone
in the crowd

2445
01:34:42,510 --> 01:34:43,499
at happy hour

2446
01:34:43,595 --> 01:34:45,756
at the Four Seasons
right after the closing bell.

2447
01:34:45,847 --> 01:34:47,803
It turns out, I didn't need
to be that clever.

2448
01:34:48,141 --> 01:34:49,551
These weren't
finance guys.

2449
01:34:49,642 --> 01:34:51,724
They were from the cast
ofThe Jersey Boys.

2450
01:34:51,811 --> 01:34:53,676
They looked around the bar
self-consciously,

2451
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:55,011
they were out
of their element,

2452

to look tougher

2454
01:34:58,067 --> 01:34:59,398
I had a good hunch
what they wanted,

2455
01:34:59,485 --> 01:35:00,474

what the other guy ordered,

2463
01:35:16,294 --> 01:35:17,750
but I'll never forget
what John G. had.

2464
01:35:17,879 --> 01:35:19,494
He looked at the waiter
as if to say

2465
01:35:19,631 --> 01:35:21,167
that he could handle
himself just fine

Uh, it was fine.
Thank you.

interested in a game?

with them too.

carry a big debt Sheet.

2572
01:41:55,067 --> 01:41:58,150
One week of games to get
the $2.8 million I was owed,

2573
01:41:58,237 --> 01:41:59,397
and then I was out.

2574
01:41:59,488 --> 01:42:00,898
l was done.

2575
01:42:01,157 --> 01:42:03,523
One week of
epic games.

2576
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,196
I had some of
my London players in town,

2577
01:42:06,287 --> 01:42:08,824
and the Russians had
visiting friends from Moscow.

2578
01:42:08,914 --> 01:42:11,530
Jesse and Shelby had already
started the game at the Plaza

2579
01:42:11,626 --> 01:42:13,912
and were reporting
heavy early action.

2580
01:42:14,211 --> 01:42:16,167
l was on my way
when the phone rang.

2581
01:42:16,255 --> 01:42:18,246
(PHONE RINGING)
It was Douglas Downey.

2582
01:42:20,134 --> 01:42:21,499
I'm on my way, Doug.

2583
01:42:22,011 --> 01:42:23,421
DOUG: Wait, Molly.

2584
01:42:23,512 --> 01:42:24,627
Wait.

2585
01:42:24,722 --> 01:42:26,633
I’m hiding in
the bathroom. I just...

2586
01:42:26,724 --> 01:42:28,464
[need you to believe me,
okay? ljust...

2587
01:42:28,559 --> 01:42:29,548
Whose bathroom?

2588
01:42:29,644 --> 01:42:30,759
Ineed you to believe me
because...

2589
01:42:30,853 --> 01:42:32,935
At the suite,
at the Plaza.

2590
01:42:33,022 --> 01:42:34,558
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?

2591
01:42:34,649 --> 01:42:37,356
I would never tell them
anything about you.

2592
01:42:37,443 --> 01:42:39,684
I said, "Guys, you want
me to go further,

2593
01:42:39,779 --> 01:42:42,691
"you want me to go
other places, I’ll do it.

2594
01:42:42,782 --> 01:42:44,818
"But nothing about Molly.

2595
01:42:44,909 --> 01:42:46,115
"She can't be touched.

2596
01:42:46,202 --> 01:42:47,317
"Just the Russians. "

2597
01:42:47,411 --> 01:42:48,776
Okay, you're drunk

2598
01:42:48,871 --> 01:42:50,953
and a little difficult
to understand,

2599
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,746
so I'll see you
in a few minutes
when I get there.

2600
01:42:52,833 --> 01:42:54,073
l was, uh...

2601
01:42:54,585 --> 01:42:55,791
l was...

2602
01:42:56,379 --> 01:42:57,368
Uh...

2603
01:42:59,215 --> 01:43:02,207
I was cited
for securities fraud.

2604
01:43:02,301 --> 01:43:03,666
It was scrubbed
from my record.

2605
01:43:03,761 --> 01:43:04,796
That's why you
don't know.

2606
01:43:04,929 --> 01:43:06,465
Did you say
"securities fraud"?

2607
01:43:06,555 --> 01:43:08,341
I would never help them
build a case against you.

2608
01:43:08,432 --> 01:43:11,970
I would have never
give them anything
against you.

2609
01:43:12,061 --> 01:43:14,302
I'd commit perjury
before I did that.

2610
01:43:14,689 --> 01:43:17,101
It was such bullshit.
It was 2006...

2611
01:43:17,191 --> 01:43:19,307
If you'd had an arrest,
I would have known.

2612
01:43:19,402 --> 01:43:21,108
It was bullshit.
Doug.

2613
01:43:21,195 --> 01:43:23,026
I told them
I’ll go further,

2614
01:43:23,114 --> 01:43:26,151
I'll go other places,
but not you.

2615
01:43:26,242 --> 01:43:28,153
Have you, Have...

2616
01:43:28,244 --> 01:43:30,610
Doug, listen, I need
you to pull it together
for a second.

2617
01:43:30,705 --> 01:43:33,196
Did they scrub
your record because
you've been informing?

2618
01:43:33,290 --> 01:43:35,372
Should I. ..
Should I have told you?

2619
01:43:35,501 --> 01:43:36,536
(PHONE CHIMES)

2620
01:43:36,669 --> 01:43:38,910
That’s a question
that’ll... That'll haunt me
for all my...

2621
01:43:39,004 --> 01:43:40,869
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?

2622
01:43:40,965 --> 01:43:42,501
For my days, Molly.

2623
01:43:42,717 --> 01:43:45,709
Always know that
I was trying to protect you.

2624
01:43:47,012 --> 01:43:49,628
MOLLY: Five blocks away,
the FBI had raided my game.

2625
01:44:08,617 --> 01:44:10,153
I fully expected the lobby
to be filled

2626
01:44:10,244 --> 01:44:12,235
with guys wearing
windbreakers,
but it wasn't.

2627
01:44:12,329 --> 01:44:13,660
REGGIE: MS. Bloom.
Haven't seen you
for a while.

2628
01:44:13,748 --> 01:44:14,737
Yeah.

2629
01:44:14,832 --> 01:44:16,163
You need a cab?

2630
01:44:22,339 --> 01:44:24,295
I guess you never made it
upstairs with the packages.

2631
01:44:25,342 --> 01:44:27,333
Maybe I didn't tip you
enough before Christmas.

2632
01:44:31,515 --> 01:44:32,755
HARRISON:
Then you got into a cab,

2633
01:44:32,850 --> 01:44:33,930
took the cab to JFK,

2634
01:44:34,018 --> 01:44:35,224
and flew to your mother's
house in Denver.

2635
01:44:35,352 --> 01:44:36,432
MOLLY: Telluride.

2636
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,636
My mother lives
in Telluride.

2637
01:44:38,731 --> 01:44:40,847
That was two years ago.
Mmm-hmm.

2638
01:44:40,941 --> 01:44:42,306
In the cab on the way
to the airport,

2639
01:44:42,401 --> 01:44:44,187
I checked my bank
account balance.

2640
01:44:44,278 --> 01:44:46,269
There should've been
a little over $4 million,

2641
01:44:46,363 --> 01:44:48,729
but instead,
it said the balance
was zero,

2642
01:44:48,824 --> 01:44:50,030
and there was a note
telling me

2643
01:44:50,117 --> 01:44:51,482
to contact
the Justice Department.

2644
01:44:51,577 --> 01:44:52,987
ljust want to mention
that she also

2645
01:44:53,078 --> 01:44:55,569
voluntarily checked herself
into 28-day rehab

2646
01:44:55,664 --> 01:44:57,700
and has been sober
and clean for two years.

2647
01:44:57,792 --> 01:44:58,781
I don't care.

2648
01:44:58,876 --> 01:44:59,865
Were the women
that worked for you
call girls?

2649
01:45:00,753 --> 01:45:01,788
No, Sir.

2650
01:45:01,879 --> 01:45:03,119
BRENNAN: They never exchanged
sex for money?

2651
01:45:03,214 --> 01:45:04,203
No.

2652
01:45:04,298 --> 01:45:05,538
Have you ever
exchanged sex
for money?

2653
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:06,622
No.

2654
01:45:06,717 --> 01:45:07,923
lthink he was
talking to me.

2655
01:45:08,010 --> 01:45:10,376
I meant, "No, she's not
answering that question."

2656
01:45:10,471 --> 01:45:11,836
The purpose of
this meeting...

2657
01:45:11,931 --> 01:45:13,546
I know.
We're off the record.

2658
01:45:13,641 --> 01:45:14,630
We're not off the record.

2659
01:45:14,725 --> 01:45:15,805
Do you see
a stenographer in here?

2660
01:45:15,893 --> 01:45:17,849
We‘re off the record in as
much as there is no record,

2661
01:45:17,937 --> 01:45:19,518
but you're free to use
the information
you're given,

2662
01:45:19,605 --> 01:45:21,311
and we're not giving
the information for free.

2663
01:45:21,398 --> 01:45:23,935
I've been Sitting
at this table for five hours,

2664
01:45:24,026 --> 01:45:25,482
waiting for
the opportunity

2665
01:45:25,569 --> 01:45:27,776
to implore you
to do the right thing

2666
01:45:27,863 --> 01:45:29,945
while begging my client
for the last three weeks

2667
01:45:30,032 --> 01:45:31,772
to act in her own
best interest.

2668
01:45:31,867 --> 01:45:34,028
Neither of those things
Should be hard.

2669
01:45:34,119 --> 01:45:36,280
The purpose of this
meeting is for you
to meet Molly Bloom

2670
01:45:36,372 --> 01:45:37,703
and discover, as l have,

2671
01:45:37,790 --> 01:45:39,951
that She's not the person
the press has invented.

2672
01:45:40,042 --> 01:45:41,157
She's not under
Federal indictment

2673
01:45:41,252 --> 01:45:42,617
for getting bad press,
Charlie,

2674
01:45:42,711 --> 01:45:44,201
and the purpose of
the meeting, for me,

2675
01:45:44,296 --> 01:45:46,628
is to discover if your
client is willing to
cooperate

2676
01:45:46,715 --> 01:45:49,127
with the government
in putting away
some bad people.

2677
01:45:49,468 --> 01:45:50,548
No.

2678
01:45:50,636 --> 01:45:51,716
You're not willing
to cooperate?

2679
01:45:51,804 --> 01:45:54,762
No, I've never traded
sex for money.

2680
01:45:56,016 --> 01:45:57,506
I'm still not sure
if there's a record,

2681
01:45:57,601 --> 01:45:58,716
but if there is,

2682
01:45:58,811 --> 01:46:01,177
I want it to be certain
that was in it.

2683
01:46:01,939 --> 01:46:04,055
It appears to me
throughout your career
as a game runner,

2684
01:46:04,149 --> 01:46:05,229
you were
extremely diligent

2685
01:46:05,317 --> 01:46:06,807
about vetting players.
l was.

2686
01:46:06,902 --> 01:46:08,267
But you let four guys
play in the game

2687
01:46:08,362 --> 01:46:09,647
without knowing
they were connected?

2688
01:46:09,738 --> 01:46:12,445
Yeah, plus an FBI informant,
it's embarrassing.

2689
01:46:19,665 --> 01:46:24,625
l was high at the end
and doing myjob badly.

2690
01:46:25,546 --> 01:46:27,787
I'll also add that
in my limited experience

2691
01:46:27,882 --> 01:46:29,088
with the Russian mob,

2692
01:46:29,174 --> 01:46:31,916
they don't immediately
present themselves
as mobsters.

2693
01:46:33,554 --> 01:46:35,169
My experience
with the Italian mob

2694
01:46:35,264 --> 01:46:36,845
on the other hand...
HARRISON: Help us.

2695
01:46:38,267 --> 01:46:39,803
I don't know anything
that can help you.

2696
01:46:39,894 --> 01:46:40,974
Yes.
MOLLY: And if I did...

2697
01:46:41,061 --> 01:46:42,597
Yes, you do.
You can provide color.

2698
01:46:42,688 --> 01:46:43,677
You can paint
a picture.

2699
01:46:43,772 --> 01:46:44,887
You can tell us
Druzhinsky wore

2700
01:46:44,982 --> 01:46:47,439
a $100,000 Patek Philippe
and drove a Phantom.

2701
01:46:47,526 --> 01:46:49,232
You can tell us
Illya Gershen
showed up

2702
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,060
with a quarter million
dollars cash in a backpack,

2703
01:46:51,196 --> 01:46:52,356
and you can tell us
how much action

2704
01:46:52,489 --> 01:46:53,899
Shelly was taking on
a sports bet.

2705
01:46:54,033 --> 01:46:56,649
No one was allowed
to place sports bets
inside the room.

2706
01:46:56,744 --> 01:46:57,824
They would have
to go outside.

2707
01:46:58,203 --> 01:46:59,864
So I had no idea

2708
01:46:59,997 --> 01:47:01,783
how much anyone
was taking or laying.

2709
01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:03,201
So, now you're saying
you knew

2710
01:47:03,334 --> 01:47:04,699
they were making
and taking sports bets?

2711
01:47:04,877 --> 01:47:06,868
No. That‘s the point
of them going outside.

2712
01:47:06,962 --> 01:47:08,827
They could have been calling
their mother for all I knew.

2713
01:47:08,923 --> 01:47:10,163
HARRISON: Molly.
Yes, sir?

2714
01:47:10,758 --> 01:47:11,918
I don't believe you.

2715
01:47:13,469 --> 01:47:15,710
In Mike Davidoff's phone
intercepts alone,

2716
01:47:15,804 --> 01:47:18,546
just Davidoff,
your name comes up
19 times.

2717
01:47:18,807 --> 01:47:20,718
"We need Molly..."
"Get Molly..."
"Bring Molly."

2718
01:47:20,851 --> 01:47:22,512
lt strongly suggests
you were important

2719
01:47:22,603 --> 01:47:23,809
to his business,
so it's hard for me

2720
01:47:23,896 --> 01:47:25,761
to believe that someone
with your savvy

2721
01:47:25,856 --> 01:47:26,971
and obvious
intellect...

2722
01:47:27,066 --> 01:47:28,272
They're talking
about the drug.

2723
01:47:29,944 --> 01:47:30,979
"Get molly..."
"Bring molly..."

2724
01:47:31,195 --> 01:47:33,151
"We need molly..." It's...

2725
01:47:33,864 --> 01:47:35,946
They're talking about
the drug ecstasy.

2726
01:47:36,867 --> 01:47:37,902
(CHARLIE LAUGHS)

2727
01:47:37,993 --> 01:47:41,030
Shit. My office is next
to yours for two years,

2728
01:47:41,121 --> 01:47:43,453
and I've seen you make
some boneheaded moves,

2729
01:47:43,540 --> 01:47:45,622
but I've never seen
any prosecutor

2730
01:47:45,709 --> 01:47:48,121
step in it the way
you just did.

2731
01:47:48,462 --> 01:47:49,622
You should thank
all of the gods

2732
01:47:49,713 --> 01:47:51,499
that there's no physical
evidence of that exchange.

2733
01:47:51,590 --> 01:47:53,046
HARRISON: Hey, look...
No, you look...

2734
01:47:53,133 --> 01:47:54,998
What, are you going
to implore me to do
the right thing?

2735
01:47:55,094 --> 01:47:57,881
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment.

2736
01:47:57,972 --> 01:47:59,712
Are you out of your minds?

2737
01:48:00,265 --> 01:48:03,177
She does not belong
in a mob indictment.

2738
01:48:05,229 --> 01:48:06,719
for seven months,

2739
01:48:06,814 --> 01:48:09,396
And why? Because
she was giving credit
in the millions,

2740
01:48:09,483 --> 01:48:11,974
and she didn't want to use
muscle to collect.

2741
01:48:12,361 --> 01:48:14,647
She has had opportunity
after opportunity

2742
01:48:14,738 --> 01:48:16,820
to greatly
benefit herself

2743
01:48:16,907 --> 01:48:19,944

the real stories
that she knows. Okay?

to 2007.

of the iceberg.

that comes this close

to being
the US. Ambassador
to Monaco?

2752
01:48:36,510 --> 01:48:38,000
He's withdrawn
from consideration

that a particular
movie star

2760
01:48:51,734 --> 01:48:53,520
was too black
for his liking.

have this much Shit on Bobby.

have written

afford to defend herself.

an opportunity to
guarantee her freedom

Why did you do
the other thing
instead?

01:56:34,654 --> 01:56:36,565
You didn't start with
the drugs until the end.

2910
01:56:36,656 --> 01:56:38,897
They weren't
the problem, they
were the medicine.

2911
01:56:39,910 --> 01:56:42,822
It was so you could
control powerful men.

2912
01:56:45,957 --> 01:56:49,825
Your addiction was having
power over powerful men.

2913

Is that what
you really think?

2914
01:56:55,550 --> 01:56:56,539
No.

It wasn't about you.

Nah, it wasn'tjust
about me.

01:57:05,268 --> 01:57:07,429
It wasn't at all
about you.
It was.

Second year,
second question.

2921
01:57:14,569 --> 01:57:16,560
Do you think
you were a good husband?

2922
01:57:16,696 --> 01:57:17,856
What do you care?

2923
01:57:17,989 --> 01:57:19,729
I care because
you were married
to my mother.

2924
01:57:19,824 --> 01:57:21,906
I care because
my father's an asshole.

2925
01:57:21,993 --> 01:57:25,030
Congratulations.
You've completed
year two.

2926
01:57:25,455 --> 01:57:27,491
And for the record,
your father raised
three kids

on a college professor's
salary.

2928

Well, nobody's perfect.

The point is,
I did a few things right.

I'll answer it,
but you have to ask it.

2942

You have to ask it.

2943
01:58:18,008 --> 01:58:20,090

as much as my brothers?

You drove it
into a McDonald's.

for that, but they don't...

Did you not see
the McDonald's?

Did you misunderstand
what drive-thru meant?

02:04:45,895 --> 02:04:49,058
He spreads his money
around. You don't have
any.

3079
02:04:49,148 --> 02:04:51,855
The composition of
female inmates
in Federal prison...

3080
02:04:51,943 --> 02:04:54,059
They did not commit
financial crimes!

3081
02:04:54,153 --> 02:04:55,188
They're drug dealers!

3082
02:04:55,279 --> 02:04:57,565
They get raped
by prison guards, you...

3083
02:04:58,324 --> 02:04:59,860
You will not be
anonymous, Molly.

3084
02:04:59,951 --> 02:05:01,532
You will be a target.

3085
02:05:01,619 --> 02:05:03,701
Children will read their
fathers' text messages
saying

3086
02:05:03,788 --> 02:05:06,200
he wished he'd never
had kids.

3087
02:05:06,666 --> 02:05:08,657
These guys...
These guys,
where are they?

3088
02:05:08,835 --> 02:05:11,167
Why are you in this alone?
Where are your friends?

3089
02:05:11,254 --> 02:05:12,869
Where is the one
guy saying,

3090
02:05:12,964 --> 02:05:14,829
"Hey, Molly, I know
you're doing everything

3091
02:05:14,966 --> 02:05:16,672
"to save my life,
what can I do
for you?

3092
02:05:16,759 --> 02:05:18,750
"Let me buy you
a sandwich." Where
are they, Molly?

3093
02:05:18,845 --> 02:05:20,335
You kept their
secrets.

3094
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:21,636
Where are the people
you're protecting

3095
02:05:21,723 --> 02:05:23,634
by not telling the whole
story in the book?

3096
02:05:23,725 --> 02:05:25,261
By settling
the Brad Marion suit.

3097
02:05:25,351 --> 02:05:27,808
By not taking $5 million
of your own money.

3098
02:05:27,937 --> 02:05:29,097
By going tojail.

3099
02:05:29,188 --> 02:05:30,428
Where did everybody go?

3100
02:05:30,523 --> 02:05:32,855
It‘s not their names
I'm protecting, Charlie.

3101
02:05:32,942 --> 02:05:33,977
It‘s mine.

3102
02:05:34,068 --> 02:05:35,103
Oh, that's great.

3103
02:05:35,194 --> 02:05:36,980
Well, we don‘t have
the luxury of integrity.

3104
02:05:37,071 --> 02:05:38,356
You have to take
the deal.

3105
02:05:38,781 --> 02:05:40,146
No.
You stay out ofjail,

3106
02:05:40,241 --> 02:05:41,276
you get your money back,

3107
02:05:41,367 --> 02:05:42,698
you pay your debts,
you start a new life.

3108
02:05:42,785 --> 02:05:43,865
No.

3109
02:05:43,953 --> 02:05:45,113
Is this
self-imposed
punishment

3110
02:05:45,204 --> 02:05:46,535
for naming four guys
in a book?

3111
02:05:46,622 --> 02:05:47,657
It‘s not.

3112
02:05:47,749 --> 02:05:48,829
You didn't do
anything wrong.

3113
02:05:48,916 --> 02:05:51,953
I threw four people
under the bus for
$35,000, Charlie.

3114
02:05:52,045 --> 02:05:53,785
I noticed you kept that
out of your speech
to the prosecutor.

3115
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:54,869
No, don't do that
to me.

3116
02:05:54,964 --> 02:05:56,295
I took advantage
of gambling addicts.

3117
02:05:56,424 --> 02:05:58,756
Donnie Silverman,
my brilliant find.

3118
02:05:58,843 --> 02:05:59,832
Molly, stop.

3119
02:05:59,927 --> 02:06:01,212
He lost $6 million
on my table,

3120
02:06:01,304 --> 02:06:04,842
moved to Florida,
got a job as
a substitute teacher,

3121
02:06:04,974 --> 02:06:06,054
then hanged himself
in his Shower!

3122
02:06:06,142 --> 02:06:07,222
Oh, and that's
your fault?

3123
02:06:07,310 --> 02:06:08,675
That's not your fault!
Donnie Silverman's dead!

3124
02:06:08,770 --> 02:06:11,637
Harlan Eustice is in jail
in Nevada, wishing he was.

3125
02:06:11,731 --> 02:06:13,221
But that's not why
I'm saying no.

3126
02:06:13,316 --> 02:06:14,431
You're not saying no.

3127
02:06:14,525 --> 02:06:15,856
l was named after
my great-grandmother.

3128
02:06:15,943 --> 02:06:18,605
I don't care.
Molly Dubin Bloom
is my name.

3129
02:06:18,696 --> 02:06:20,027
We will stay here
all night until
you understand...

3130
02:06:20,156 --> 02:06:22,147
Until you understand
nobody gives a shit

3131
02:06:22,241 --> 02:06:23,321
about your good name!

3132
02:06:23,409 --> 02:06:24,990
WW? I do!

3133
02:06:25,078 --> 02:06:26,614
Because...
Why?

3134
02:06:26,704 --> 02:06:27,944
Because.
Tell me why!

3135
02:06:28,039 --> 02:06:30,246
Because it's all
l have left!

3136
02:06:31,793 --> 02:06:33,579
Because it's my name.

3137
02:06:37,590 --> 02:06:40,832
And I'll never
have another.

3138
02:06:45,556 --> 02:06:47,842
Now you read
The Crucible?

3139
02:06:48,601 --> 02:06:51,058
Yeah.
Everyone's right,
it's great.

3140
02:06:51,145 --> 02:06:52,305
It is great.

3141
02:07:00,196 --> 02:07:01,686
I want to go
into that courtroom

3142
02:07:04,075 --> 02:07:05,110
and plead guilty.

3143
02:07:06,119 --> 02:07:08,576
No deals.
No trades.

3144
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:15,496
And you're
very sure?

3145
02:07:16,754 --> 02:07:17,834
Yes.

3146
02:07:20,633 --> 02:07:21,873
BAILIFF: All rise.

3147
02:07:22,385 --> 02:07:24,717
MOLLY: The business
of the court began.

3148
02:07:25,263 --> 02:07:27,845
We stood for the Honorable
Judge Dustin Foxman,

3149
02:07:28,558 --> 02:07:30,344
and counsel entered
their names for the record.

3150
02:07:30,434 --> 02:07:32,220
Assistant US. Attorney
Harrison Wellstone

3151
02:07:32,353 --> 02:07:33,388
for the Southern District
of New York.

3152
02:07:33,479 --> 02:07:34,514
MOLLY:
The docket was called...

3153
02:07:34,605 --> 02:07:35,845
Docket number
10095-130R268.

3154
02:07:35,940 --> 02:07:37,396
...and some pro forma
instructions

3155
02:07:37,483 --> 02:07:38,723
were given to counsel.

3156
02:07:38,901 --> 02:07:40,516
And / was asked
a series of questions

3157
02:07:40,611 --> 02:07:41,896
from a script the judge had
in front of him.
What is your full name?

3158
02:07:41,988 --> 02:07:43,444
Molly Dubin Bloom.

3159
02:07:43,573 --> 02:07:44,653
How old are you?

3160
02:07:44,740 --> 02:07:47,152
Have you taken any
drugs, medicine, or pills,

3161
02:07:47,243 --> 02:07:49,950
or had any alcoholic
beverages in the past
48 hours?

3162
02:07:50,037 --> 02:07:51,026
Sudafed.

3163
02:07:51,122 --> 02:07:52,612
IS there anything
about the reasons

3164
02:07:52,707 --> 02:07:53,696
for you taking Sudafed

3165
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,372
that would interfere with
what's going on here today?

3166
02:07:55,459 --> 02:07:57,370
MOLLY: Eighty-seven
questions he was
required to ask

3167
02:07:57,461 --> 02:07:58,951
before he’d permit me
to plead guilty.

3168
02:07:59,046 --> 02:08:00,252
JUDGE FOXMAN: IS your mind
cleartoday, Ms. Bloom?

3169
02:08:00,339 --> 02:08:01,328
It is.

3170
02:08:01,424 --> 02:08:02,914
Do you understand
what's going on
here today?

3171
02:08:03,009 --> 02:08:03,998
ldo.

3172
02:08:04,093 --> 02:08:06,004
Under the Constitution
and laws of
the United States,

3173
02:08:06,095 --> 02:08:08,461
you have a right to
plead to the charges
in the indictment.

3174
02:08:08,556 --> 02:08:10,672
Do you understand that?
Yes, Your Honor.

3175
02:08:10,766 --> 02:08:12,631
And do you
understand that?
Yes, sir.

3176
02:08:12,727 --> 02:08:15,639
At that trial, you would
be presumed to be
innocent

3177
02:08:15,730 --> 02:08:17,812
and would not have to prove
that you were innocent.

3178
02:08:17,899 --> 02:08:19,059
Do you understand that?

3179
02:08:19,150 --> 02:08:20,139
Yes, Sir.

3180
02:08:20,276 --> 02:08:21,686
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, Sir.

3181
02:08:21,777 --> 02:08:24,439
If you plead guilty,
and I accept your plea,

3182
02:08:24,530 --> 02:08:26,441
you will give up
your right to appeal,

3183
02:08:26,532 --> 02:08:29,444
along with all other
rights I've enumerated,

3184
02:08:29,535 --> 02:08:30,650
do you understand?

3185
02:08:30,745 --> 02:08:31,734
Yes, Sir.

3186
02:08:31,829 --> 02:08:34,411
Do you understand that
you are charged
in count 20

3187
02:08:34,498 --> 02:08:36,659
with operating
an illegal gambling
business

3188
02:08:36,751 --> 02:08:38,707
in violation of
Title 18,

3189
02:08:38,836 --> 02:08:42,624
United States Code
Sections 1955 and 2?

3190
02:08:42,715 --> 02:08:43,921
Yes, I understand.

3191
02:08:44,008 --> 02:08:46,374
Understanding everything
you've been told,

3192
02:08:46,469 --> 02:08:48,334
do you now wish
to enter a plea?

3193
02:08:48,429 --> 02:08:49,418
Yes, Sir.

3194
02:08:49,513 --> 02:08:51,049
How do you plead
to the charge?

3195
02:08:52,016 --> 02:08:53,381
Guilty, Your Honor.

3196
02:08:54,685 --> 02:08:56,971
Your plea has been
so recorded,

3197
02:08:57,480 --> 02:08:59,016
and you may take
your seat.

3198
02:08:59,649 --> 02:09:01,640
Before we move
to the sentencing
phase,

3199
02:09:01,734 --> 02:09:03,565
I would like a word
with counsel, please.

3200
02:09:07,031 --> 02:09:08,771
MOLLY: And then
something happened.

3201
02:09:08,866 --> 02:09:11,198
Pardon me, Mr. Jaffey,
just government counsel.

3202
02:09:14,205 --> 02:09:15,365
Yes, Sir.

3203
02:09:19,919 --> 02:09:21,375
What's going on?

3204
02:09:22,129 --> 02:09:23,244
(INAUDIBLE)

3205
02:09:23,381 --> 02:09:24,746
What are they doing?

3206
02:09:30,805 --> 02:09:32,045
Wait for it.

3207
02:09:33,182 --> 02:09:34,297
What?

3208
02:09:38,437 --> 02:09:40,473
Will the defendant
please rise for
sentencing?

3209
02:09:45,403 --> 02:09:47,394
Based on
all available
information,

3210
02:09:47,488 --> 02:09:49,774
this court
manifestly disagrees

3211
02:09:49,865 --> 02:09:51,730
with the government's
sentencing
recommendation.

3212
02:09:54,161 --> 02:09:55,617
This courthouse is located

3213
02:09:55,705 --> 02:09:57,661
within spitting distance
of Wall Street.

3214
02:09:58,332 --> 02:09:59,947
I know this
from my personal
experience

3215
02:10:00,042 --> 02:10:01,282
trying to Spit at it.

3216
02:10:01,377 --> 02:10:02,742
The men and women
who work there

3217
02:10:02,837 --> 02:10:04,202
will commit
more serious crimes

3218
02:10:04,297 --> 02:10:05,377
by lunchtime today

3219
02:10:05,464 --> 02:10:06,624
than the defendant
has committed

3220
02:10:06,757 --> 02:10:08,167
in this indictment.

3221
02:10:08,259 --> 02:10:10,545
I simply don't see
how either the people

3222
02:10:10,636 --> 02:10:12,126
or the cause ofjustice
are served

3223
02:10:12,221 --> 02:10:13,802
by locking Molly Bloom
in prison.

3224
02:10:13,889 --> 02:10:14,969
MOLLY: It was as casual

3225
02:10:15,057 --> 02:10:16,593
as if he was ordering
lunch off a menu.

3226
02:10:16,726 --> 02:10:17,886
JUDGE FOXMAN: MS. Bloom,

3227
02:10:17,977 --> 02:10:19,513
this court sentences you

3228
02:10:19,645 --> 02:10:21,761
to 200 hours
of community service,

3229
02:10:21,856 --> 02:10:24,097
one year
of supervised
probation,

3230
02:10:24,191 --> 02:10:28,025
drug testing,
and a $200,000 fine.

3231
02:10:28,154 --> 02:10:29,519
This case is adjourned.

3232
02:10:30,698 --> 02:10:32,563
MOLLY: And that was that.
(LAUGHING)

3233
02:10:32,908 --> 02:10:34,193
BOTH: Let's go.

3234
02:10:34,285 --> 02:10:35,775
MOLLY: There was crying
and hugging...

3235
02:10:35,870 --> 02:10:36,859
Proud of you.

3236
02:10:36,954 --> 02:10:38,114
jokes from my brothers,

3237
02:10:38,205 --> 02:10:41,038
tough talk about how no one
messes with the Blooms,

3238
02:10:41,375 --> 02:10:44,287
and [eve/headed talk
about Christmas miracles.

3239
02:10:45,212 --> 02:10:47,669
Steaks and beer bought
by my father,

3240
02:10:48,090 --> 02:10:49,921
and full reenactments.

3241
02:10:50,009 --> 02:10:51,965
And in the middle
of it all,

3242
02:10:52,094 --> 02:10:53,709
as grateful as you are,

3243
02:10:54,347 --> 02:10:57,339
the reality starts creeping
toward you like the tide.

3244
02:10:59,518 --> 02:11:01,975
And that's the first time
you have the thought.

3245
02:11:03,147 --> 02:11:04,603
"What do / do now?"

3246
02:11:05,816 --> 02:11:07,181
OFFICIAL:
We've got a racer down!

3247
02:11:07,276 --> 02:11:08,982
We need a toboggan
and a back board!

3248
02:11:09,070 --> 02:11:10,276
MOLLY: I’m a felon.

3249
02:11:10,363 --> 02:11:13,275
I’m 35 years old,
unemployed,

3250
02:11:13,366 --> 02:11:15,402
and pled guilty
in a mob indictment.

3251
02:11:15,493 --> 02:11:17,029
Make way, people! Make way!
Make way, people!

3252
02:11:17,119 --> 02:11:18,984
Patrol here, move away!
Move away!

3253
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:21,696
MOLLY: I owe the government
close to $2 million in taxes

3254
02:11:21,791 --> 02:11:23,907
assessed
on the civil forfeiture,

3255
02:11:24,001 --> 02:11:25,957
plus a $200, 000 fine.

3256
02:11:26,045 --> 02:11:27,626
And you better believe
they're going to come
get it.

3257
02:11:27,713 --> 02:11:28,702
OFFICIAL: Clear a path!

3258
02:11:28,798 --> 02:11:30,504
Move back, please! Back!

3259
02:11:30,591 --> 02:11:31,876
I have a quarter
of a million dollars

3260
02:11:31,967 --> 02:11:33,127
in legal bills.

3261
02:11:33,219 --> 02:11:35,505
I don ’t know what I'd say
in a job interview,

3262
02:11:35,596 --> 02:11:38,383
or if I'll ever be given
a job interview.

3263
02:11:38,849 --> 02:11:40,680
I’ll never be allowed
to vote again.

3264

FEMALE MEDIC: I'm going
to need a set of Vitals!

3265
02:11:42,728 --> 02:11:44,184
MO LLY: And for some reason,

3266
02:11:44,271 --> 02:11:46,057
I’m not allowed
to go to Canada.

(RADIO CHATTER)
Molly, can you hear US?

3268
02:11:49,693 --> 02:11:51,149
Hips are stable.

3269
02:11:51,237 --> 02:11:53,023
Pelvis is stable.

3270
02:11:54,615 --> 02:11:56,480
MALE MEDIC: Her dad's here.
What's her LOA?

3271
02:11:56,575 --> 02:11:57,564
MALE MEDIC:
She's coming around now.

3272
02:11:57,660 --> 02:11:59,070
FEMALE MEDIC: Open your eyes
if you can hear us.

3273
02:11:59,161 --> 02:12:00,947
MEDIC: Okay, she's conscious.
Molly, what day is it?

3274
02:12:01,038 --> 02:12:02,027
FEMALE MEDIC:
You need to stay
down, okay?

3275
02:12:02,123 --> 02:12:03,408
You need to go to
a hospital.

3276
02:12:03,499 --> 02:12:04,614
What day?

3277
02:12:05,167 --> 02:12:06,657
Dad, I'm fine.

3278
02:12:06,794 --> 02:12:08,204
MEDIC: Try not to move, Molly.
MOLLY: Let go of my arm.

3279
02:12:08,295 --> 02:12:09,284
LARRY: You trying to
getup,hon?

3280
02:12:09,422 --> 02:12:10,502
MOLLY: Yeah.
She wants to get up.

COMMENTATOR 1: Our cameras
can't get in there,

3282
02:12:12,091 --> 02:12:13,080
so we don‘t know...

3283
02:12:13,175 --> 02:12:14,164
COMMENTATOR 2:
I wonder if Tracy's got

3284
02:12:14,260 --> 02:12:15,249
an update for us
on the ground.

3285
02:12:15,344 --> 02:12:17,335
COMMENTATORS: She's moving!

3286
02:12:18,222 --> 02:12:20,008
LARRY: You sure
you're good?
Yeah.

3287
02:12:20,099 --> 02:12:21,714
Okay, here we go.

3288
02:12:23,519 --> 02:12:24,634
COMMENTATOR 1:
We can see that

3289
02:12:24,728 --> 02:12:26,138
she's being helped
to her feet now.

3290
02:12:26,230 --> 02:12:29,017
Molly Bloom is, of course,
the Sister of Jeremy Bloom,

3291
02:12:29,108 --> 02:12:31,690
who holds the world's
number one ranking.

3292
02:12:31,777 --> 02:12:33,187
That’s her longtime
coach there,

3293
02:12:33,279 --> 02:12:35,520
Ted Keene,
and her father.

COMMENTATOR 2: She came back
from an injury

3295
02:12:37,658 --> 02:12:39,023
when She was just 13.

3296
02:12:40,119 --> 02:12:42,656
You know, you have to wonder
about the psychological toll,

3297
02:12:42,746 --> 02:12:45,362
coming that close,
only to lose it
like that.

3298
02:12:47,042 --> 02:12:48,828
MOLLY: Did anything good
come of this?

3299
02:12:49,628 --> 02:12:50,788
Not really.

3300
02:12:54,550 --> 02:12:56,666
But I learned
something encouraging.

3301
02:12:57,386 --> 02:12:58,717
I’m very hard to kill.

3302
02:12:59,889 --> 02:13:00,969
people who have
never gotten over it.

3303
02:13:01,056 --> 02:13:02,546
COMMENTATOR 2: ldon't know
if the young woman

3304
02:13:02,641 --> 02:13:04,051
we ’ve just seen
is one of those people.

3305
02:13:04,143 --> 02:13:05,974
We may not see her ski
competitively again,

3306
02:13:06,061 --> 02:13:07,301
but I think
we 're going to
see her.

3307
02:13:07,396 --> 02:13:09,762
MOLLY: Winston Churchill
defined success as,

3308
02:13:09,857 --> 02:13:12,098
"The ability to move
from failure to failure

3309
02:13:12,193 --> 02:13:13,933
"with no loss
of enthusiasm. "

3310
02:13:14,403 --> 02:13:16,894
So, I guess
I'm pot—committed.

3311
02:13:16,989 --> 02:13:17,978
COMMENTATOR 2: She’ll be back.

3312
02:13:18,073 --> 02:13:20,439
All right, up next at
the gate is
Whitney Summerhill,

in 12th place after...
