00:00:34,428 --> 00:00:37,562
(wind howling)
3
00:00:44,393 --> 00:00:46,859
Molly : A survey was taken
a few years ago that asked
4
00:00:46,861 --> 00:00:49,158
three hundred professionals
one question.
5
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,728
"What's the worst thing
that can happen in sports?"
6
00:00:55,094 --> 00:00:57,426
Some people answered,
losing at game seven.
7
00:00:57,428 --> 00:01:02,192
male announcer : He scores,
Bruins win in seven games!
8
00:01:02,194 --> 00:01:04,392
Molly : And other people
said getting swept in 4.
9
00:01:04,394 --> 00:01:06,959
(indistinct commentary)
10
00:01:06,961 --> 00:01:09,759
Some people said it was
missing the World Cup.
11
00:01:09,761 --> 00:01:11,159
male announcer :
Guatemala is eliminated!
12
00:01:11,161 --> 00:01:13,291
male #1 :
Goal!
13
00:01:13,293 --> 00:01:16,258
Molly : And some Brazilian said
it was losing to Argentina.
14
00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:20,992
Not just in the World Cup.
Any time, ever, in any contest.
15
00:01:20,994 --> 00:01:22,960
But one person answered
that the worst thing
16
00:01:22,962 --> 00:01:27,024
that can happen in sports is
fourth place at the Olympics.
17
00:01:27,026 --> 00:01:29,058
This is a true story,
but except for my own
18
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:31,059
I've changed all the names
and I've done my best
19
00:01:31,061 --> 00:01:34,792
to obscure identities for
reasons that'll become clear.
20
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:36,059
I'm Molly Bloom.
21
00:01:36,061 --> 00:01:38,258
And right now, I'm ranked third
in North America
22
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:39,759
in Woman's Moguls.
23
00:01:39,761 --> 00:01:41,292
I grew up
in Loveland, Colorado
24
00:01:41,294 --> 00:01:42,792
about two hours
north of Denver.
25
00:01:42,794 --> 00:01:44,492
I have a B.A.
in Political Science
26
00:01:44,494 --> 00:01:45,926
from the University
of Colorado
27
00:01:45,928 --> 00:01:47,959
where I graduated
Summa Cum Laude
28
00:01:47,961 --> 00:01:50,091
with a 3.9 GPA.
29
00:01:50,093 --> 00:01:53,925
The median L-Sat score
at Harvard Law School is 169.
30
00:01:53,927 --> 00:01:55,458
My score is 173.
31
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:57,859
Number 87, up!
Fifty six on deck!
32
00:01:57,861 --> 00:01:59,992
I've spent 16 years
chasing winter
33
00:01:59,994 --> 00:02:02,924
and being coached
by the best in the world.
34
00:02:02,926 --> 00:02:04,626
Sundays were for working out
with my father.
35
00:02:04,628 --> 00:02:06,426
Something's really wrong.
36
00:02:06,428 --> 00:02:07,458
Molly :
When I was 12 years old
37
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:08,491
for no particular reason
38
00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:09,859
my back exploded.
39
00:02:09,861 --> 00:02:11,692
Tough it out.
40
00:02:11,694 --> 00:02:13,891
- Good advice.
- And lose the attitude.
41
00:02:13,893 --> 00:02:15,325
Molly : Less than 10
minutes later, I was in
42
00:02:15,327 --> 00:02:17,525
the back of an ambulance.
43
00:02:17,527 --> 00:02:19,793
I had what's called
rapid onset scoliosis.
44
00:02:19,795 --> 00:02:21,825
My spine was curved
at 63 degrees
45
00:02:21,827 --> 00:02:23,858
and I'd need a seven hour
surgical procedure
46
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,725
that involved
straightening my spine
47
00:02:25,727 --> 00:02:27,158
extracting bone from my hip
48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,726
fusing 11 vertebrae together
49
00:02:28,728 --> 00:02:30,693
and fastening steel rods
to the fused segments.
50
00:02:30,695 --> 00:02:32,793
- She's gonna be fine.
- Oh!
51
00:02:32,795 --> 00:02:35,925
I wouldn't let her ski anymore,
definitely not Moguls.
52
00:02:35,927 --> 00:02:38,258
And obviously
skiing competitively
53
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:39,661
is out of the question.
54
00:02:41,093 --> 00:02:43,259
Oh, God, thank you.
55
00:02:43,261 --> 00:02:44,991
Molly :
I was on skis again in a year.
56
00:02:44,993 --> 00:02:46,425
Running Moguls in 18 months
57
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:47,659
and by my 20th birthday
58
00:02:47,661 --> 00:02:49,025
I made the U.S. Ski Team.
59
00:02:49,027 --> 00:02:50,558
It's the last round
of qualifying
60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,159
for the Salt Lake City
Olympics.
61
00:02:52,161 --> 00:02:54,124
This is the champion run
at Deer Valley.
62
00:02:54,126 --> 00:02:55,592
The altitude is 8100 feet.
63
00:02:55,594 --> 00:02:57,125
And the pitch is 52 degrees
64
00:02:57,127 --> 00:02:59,659
which is the same as the sides
of the great pyramids.
65
00:02:59,661 --> 00:03:02,892
The wind's 20 to 25 miles
an hour blowing left to right.
66
00:03:02,894 --> 00:03:05,092
It's 3 below zero
at the top of the slope.
67
00:03:05,094 --> 00:03:07,459
And with seventeen skiers
in front of me
68
00:03:07,461 --> 00:03:09,025
it's gonna be like trying
to stick a landing
69
00:03:09,027 --> 00:03:10,525
on a frozen infinity pool.
70
00:03:10,527 --> 00:03:11,958
Kiki blew out of her line.
71
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,959
Shannon was off balance
on her second landing.
72
00:03:13,961 --> 00:03:15,326
Molly :
He's talking about Kiki Bandy
73
00:03:15,328 --> 00:03:16,392
and Shannon Keebler
74
00:03:16,394 --> 00:03:17,791
my two toughest competitors
75
00:03:17,793 --> 00:03:19,526
who had significant
point deductions
76
00:03:19,528 --> 00:03:21,491
on their final runs.
77
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:22,692
I can make the Olympic team.
78
00:03:22,694 --> 00:03:24,558
- Right now.
- Go get it.
79
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,292
And if I have three prefect
runs in Salt Lake
80
00:03:26,294 --> 00:03:28,125
the best runs of my life
81
00:03:28,127 --> 00:03:30,659
I can beat the Austrians
and the Swiss
82
00:03:30,661 --> 00:03:32,692
and have a realistic shot
at the podium.
83
00:03:32,694 --> 00:03:34,659
Then law school
and then a start up.
84
00:03:34,661 --> 00:03:38,025
A foundation that seeds
entrepreneurial women.
85
00:03:38,027 --> 00:03:39,825
My father's
at the bottom of the slope
86
00:03:39,827 --> 00:03:41,593
telepathically telling me
to check my line.
87
00:03:41,595 --> 00:03:44,725
- Check your line.
- I check my line.
88
00:03:44,727 --> 00:03:46,395
male announcer :
Ready?
89
00:03:51,127 --> 00:03:53,124
Molly : Good snow contact.
Calm upper body.
90
00:03:53,126 --> 00:03:55,758
Legs together. Good shape.
No line deviation.
91
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,928
Set up for the D-Spin and...
92
00:03:59,859 --> 00:04:01,425
stick the landing.
93
00:04:01,427 --> 00:04:02,626
Now, two things you need
to know
94
00:04:02,628 --> 00:04:03,857
before the second trick
95
00:04:03,859 --> 00:04:05,291
which will be a 720.
96
00:04:05,293 --> 00:04:06,924
The first is that
when visibility is bad
97
00:04:06,926 --> 00:04:09,626
the way it is now,
race officials toss pine boughs
98
00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:11,425
on the course
so the skiers have some
99
00:04:11,427 --> 00:04:13,059
foreground depth reference.
100
00:04:13,061 --> 00:04:15,125
The second is that
the tightness of your bindings
101
00:04:15,127 --> 00:04:17,224
is determined by what's
called a DIN setting.
102
00:04:17,226 --> 00:04:19,824
If you're a beginner, your DIN
setting is probably a 2 or 3.
103
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:21,791
If you're an experienced
weekend skier
104
00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:23,991
it's probably seven or eight.
Mine's fifteen.
105
00:04:23,993 --> 00:04:27,125
My boots are basically welded
to my skis, right?
106
00:04:27,127 --> 00:04:30,492
So how does this happen?
107
00:04:30,494 --> 00:04:32,291
It happened
because I hit a pine bough
108
00:04:32,293 --> 00:04:34,392
that had become frozen
in the snow.
109
00:04:34,394 --> 00:04:36,159
And I hit it so precisely
110
00:04:36,161 --> 00:04:38,658
that it simply snapped
the release of my bindings.
111
00:04:38,660 --> 00:04:40,124
Right in that moment
I didn't have time
112
00:04:40,126 --> 00:04:41,824
to calculate the odds
of that happening
113
00:04:41,826 --> 00:04:43,592
because I was about
to land pretty hard
114
00:04:43,594 --> 00:04:45,559
on my digitally re-mastered
spinal cord
115
00:04:45,561 --> 00:04:47,326
which was being held together
by spare parts
116
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:48,794
from an Erector Set.
117
00:04:51,493 --> 00:04:52,791
(crowd gasps)
118
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,559
(screaming)
119
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:57,228
- Give her room!
- Get out of the way! Move!
120
00:05:02,793 --> 00:05:04,858
Molly : None of this has
anything to do with poker.
121
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:06,825
I'm only mentioning it
because I wanted to say to
122
00:05:06,827 --> 00:05:08,459
whoever answered that the worst
thing that could happen
123
00:05:08,461 --> 00:05:11,091
in sports was 4th place
at the Olympics...
124
00:05:11,093 --> 00:05:12,894
Seriously? Fuck you.
125
00:05:32,926 --> 00:05:34,394
(crickets chirping)
126
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:59,194
(phone ringing)
127
00:06:06,093 --> 00:06:08,691
- Hello?
- Molly Bloom?
128
00:06:08,693 --> 00:06:11,225
- Is this Molly Bloom?
- Yes.
129
00:06:11,227 --> 00:06:13,592
Tomasino : This is Special
Agent Tomasino of the FBI.
130
00:06:13,594 --> 00:06:15,490
We have a warrant
for your arrest.
131
00:06:15,492 --> 00:06:16,758
- Sorry?
- We're outside your door.
132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,292
We want you
to come out here. Okay?
133
00:06:19,294 --> 00:06:21,758
Listen to me now. Make sure
we can see your hands.
134
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,624
Who is this?
135
00:06:22,626 --> 00:06:24,325
This is Special Agent Tomasino
136
00:06:24,327 --> 00:06:25,624
of the FBI, Miss Bloom.
137
00:06:25,626 --> 00:06:27,024
You've got 30 seconds to open
138
00:06:27,026 --> 00:06:28,791
your door
or we're breaking it down.
139
00:06:28,793 --> 00:06:31,258
Do you understand
what I just said?
140
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:32,727
(door unlocks)
141
00:06:36,394 --> 00:06:37,891
(gun cocks)
142
00:06:37,893 --> 00:06:40,225
Tomasino :
Hands in the air!
143
00:06:40,227 --> 00:06:42,758
Put your hands in the air!
144
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,158
- There's been a mistake.
- Are you Molly Bloom?
145
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,557
I want you to walk toward me
very slowly. Okay? Go ahead.
146
00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:52,194
- I'm...
- Slower. Slower. Slow down.
147
00:06:53,226 --> 00:06:54,825
Come on. Come on.
148
00:06:54,827 --> 00:06:57,457
I'm having a hard time seeing,
the, the flashlights in my eyes.
149
00:06:57,459 --> 00:07:00,925
- Walk slower.
- Yes, sir.
150
00:07:00,927 --> 00:07:04,457
female #1 : Hands on the wall.
Spread your arms and legs.
151
00:07:04,459 --> 00:07:06,291
Tomasino : Is there anyone
in your apartment right now?
152
00:07:06,293 --> 00:07:07,658
Uh, no, sir.
153
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:09,124
Are there any firearms
in your apartment right now?
154
00:07:09,126 --> 00:07:11,225
- No, sir.
- Go.
155
00:07:11,227 --> 00:07:13,592
You're under arrest for running
an illegal gambling operation.
156
00:07:13,594 --> 00:07:15,658
- Do you understand?
- Uh, yes.
157
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:17,625
Tomasino :
Say you understand.
158
00:07:17,627 --> 00:07:19,658
I understand, but
there's been a mistake.
159
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:21,191
Because I haven't
run a game in two years.
160
00:07:21,193 --> 00:07:22,291
I want you to take a look at
161
00:07:22,293 --> 00:07:23,857
this piece of paper right here.
162
00:07:23,859 --> 00:07:25,527
Can you see what
it says at the top?
163
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:28,558
Yes.
164
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,258
Read to me
what it says at the top.
165
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:34,528
"United States of America
vs. Molly Bloom."
166
00:07:37,261 --> 00:07:38,828
I bet heavy on the favorite.
167
00:07:41,593 --> 00:07:42,857
Larry :
Alright, what do you, um...
168
00:07:42,859 --> 00:07:45,124
think about
the following concepts?
169
00:07:45,126 --> 00:07:46,490
Just gonna run them by you.
170
00:07:46,492 --> 00:07:50,592
- Marriage.
- It is a trap.
171
00:07:50,594 --> 00:07:53,593
- Society?
- It is a joke.
172
00:07:54,926 --> 00:07:57,225
People.
173
00:07:57,227 --> 00:08:00,195
I... think there's good and bad.
174
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,627
But I don't trust them.
175
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:07,258
I don't trust people.
176
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:08,891
Molly : Every year on our
birthdays, my father would
177
00:08:08,893 --> 00:08:10,992
interview my younger
brothers and me.
178
00:08:10,994 --> 00:08:13,491
Larry : Who are the heroes
or heroines in your life?
179
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:17,324
Who, uh... who do you
really respect?
180
00:08:17,326 --> 00:08:19,025
I don't have any heroes.
181
00:08:19,027 --> 00:08:20,825
Larry :
You don't have any heroes.
182
00:08:20,827 --> 00:08:22,558
Molly :
How's this for hubris?
183
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,692
I don't.
184
00:08:24,694 --> 00:08:27,791
Because if I reach the goals
I set out for myself
185
00:08:27,793 --> 00:08:31,657
then the person I become,
that'll be my hero.
186
00:08:31,659 --> 00:08:33,658
Molly :
Even by teenage girl standards
187
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:35,524
I would appear
to be irrationally angry
188
00:08:35,526 --> 00:08:37,191
at nothing in particular.
189
00:08:37,193 --> 00:08:41,158
It would be another 22 years
before I'd find out why.
190
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,192
After my colossal wipe out
at Deer Valley
191
00:08:43,194 --> 00:08:46,059
I decided to take a year off
before law school.
192
00:08:46,061 --> 00:08:48,524
I needed to go away,
sever myself from reality
193
00:08:48,526 --> 00:08:50,557
and come up with a new plan.
194
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,592
So I chose Los Angeles.
195
00:08:52,594 --> 00:08:54,258
A friend of mine
from the ski team
196
00:08:54,260 --> 00:08:57,025
had agreed to let me crash
on her couch for a while.
197
00:08:57,027 --> 00:08:59,490
My father had disapproved
of postponing law school
198
00:08:59,492 --> 00:09:01,424
and so, declined to help out.
199
00:09:01,426 --> 00:09:04,325
But I had $1700 dollars I'd
saved from babysitting money
200
00:09:04,327 --> 00:09:08,191
and that would support me until
I found a waitressing job.
201
00:09:08,193 --> 00:09:11,223
I'd already had a career
and retired from it.
202
00:09:11,225 --> 00:09:15,324
I wanted to be young
for a while in warm weather.
203
00:09:15,326 --> 00:09:19,458
I think that's what I wanted at
first. It's hard to remember.
204
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:21,792
I got a job working
bottle service at a club
205
00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:24,892
in Hollywood
called "Nacional Nightclub."
206
00:09:24,894 --> 00:09:26,924
It was Cuban themed,
so my uniform
207
00:09:26,926 --> 00:09:29,528
was camouflaged short-shorts
and a wife beater.
208
00:09:30,994 --> 00:09:32,858
The promoter would go over
which record producer
209
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:35,558
was sitting where, which
hot designers, which Lakers
210
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,391
and Borislava the Bulgarian
billionaire, who didn't drink.
211
00:09:38,393 --> 00:09:40,857
But he ran a $100,000 bar tab.
212
00:09:40,859 --> 00:09:42,390
My job was
to get people to spend
213
00:09:42,392 --> 00:09:44,190
more money than they needed to.
214
00:09:44,192 --> 00:09:45,525
Could we get a bottle of Skyy?
215
00:09:45,527 --> 00:09:46,892
You guys look like
you deserve Grey Goose.
216
00:09:46,894 --> 00:09:49,458
What do guys who deserve
Grey Goose look like?
217
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:50,491
To begin with,
they've got a bottle
218
00:09:50,493 --> 00:09:51,892
of Grey Goose in front of them.
219
00:09:51,894 --> 00:09:53,992
You're quick. Very clever.
220
00:09:53,994 --> 00:09:56,191
Uh, alright, yeah. Grey Goose.
221
00:09:56,193 --> 00:09:58,458
Molly : They just spent an
additional $300 dollars
222
00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:00,490
bringing their total
to $900 dollars
223
00:10:00,492 --> 00:10:02,925
for $8 and 50 cents
worth of vodka.
224
00:10:02,927 --> 00:10:04,824
But the club doesn't
need you to buy a bottle.
225
00:10:04,826 --> 00:10:06,490
They need you
to buy five bottles.
226
00:10:06,492 --> 00:10:07,992
So these girls over here
227
00:10:07,994 --> 00:10:09,924
they let you buy them
shots for a living.
228
00:10:09,926 --> 00:10:11,691
It would be like waiting
in a long line to get into
229
00:10:11,693 --> 00:10:14,158
the Gap so you can pay
1000% percent mark-up
230
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,827
to buy all the employees
a pair of pants.
231
00:10:18,926 --> 00:10:21,358
I only had one shift a week.
I didn't wanna tell my parents
232
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,857
I was a cocktail waitress and
back then, I never turned down
233
00:10:23,859 --> 00:10:25,725
an opportunity
to make more money.
234
00:10:25,727 --> 00:10:27,824
So I found a second job
as an office assistant.
235
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:30,457
And that's how I ended up
working for Dean Keith.
236
00:10:30,459 --> 00:10:32,058
(instrumental music)
237
00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:34,891
Dean was a partner
in Black Hues Investments.
238
00:10:34,893 --> 00:10:37,257
He was a regular at the club,
and one night he said...
239
00:10:37,259 --> 00:10:38,728
People seem to take to you.
240
00:10:40,226 --> 00:10:42,223
Hey, how would you like to
get paid to go to grad school
241
00:10:42,225 --> 00:10:43,958
and get an MBA
in how life works?
242
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,058
What makes you think
you know and I don't?
243
00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:48,991
I'm a regular here
and you're a waitress here.
244
00:10:48,993 --> 00:10:50,657
Look at the fuckin' scoreboard.
245
00:10:50,659 --> 00:10:52,958
Molly : Dean explained what
my job was by saying...
246
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,925
Me. I'm your job.
247
00:10:55,927 --> 00:10:58,692
Molly : I answered the phone, made
coffee runs, set appointments.
248
00:10:58,694 --> 00:11:00,490
- Made spread sheets.
- What is that?
249
00:11:00,492 --> 00:11:02,058
And showed Dean
what a spreadsheet was.
250
00:11:02,060 --> 00:11:03,591
Spreadsheet.
251
00:11:03,593 --> 00:11:05,691
But I made $450 dollars
a week on top
252
00:11:05,693 --> 00:11:07,757
of the $300
I was making at the club.
253
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:10,858
Which would be enough
to get off my friend's couch.
254
00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:13,291
I remember the day started
by being about bagels.
255
00:11:13,293 --> 00:11:14,524
- This is Molly.
- Get to the office.
256
00:11:14,526 --> 00:11:16,193
Dean :
Pick up bagels.
257
00:11:18,226 --> 00:11:20,090
Do you mean now?
258
00:11:20,092 --> 00:11:22,625
Molly :
Dean was a Hollywood staple.
259
00:11:22,627 --> 00:11:24,458
Over leveraged. Going broke.
260
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:26,290
Trying to prove
he wasn't broke and making
261
00:11:26,292 --> 00:11:29,257
a true effort to be
as vulgar as possible.
262
00:11:29,259 --> 00:11:31,058
Honestly making an effort.
263
00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:32,857
I hadn't told anyone
I was a skier
264
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,624
and it was hard not
to laugh when Dean said...
265
00:11:34,626 --> 00:11:36,223
Anyone ever teach you
how to fuckin' hurry?
266
00:11:36,225 --> 00:11:38,691
- No.
- What are those?
267
00:11:38,693 --> 00:11:40,257
Bagels.
268
00:11:40,259 --> 00:11:41,658
- Are these from Blue Bell?
- Yeah.
269
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,825
- It's on the way from my house.
- Seriously?
270
00:11:43,827 --> 00:11:47,157
You might as well have stopped
at a fuckin' homeless shelter!
271
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:48,425
You might as well
have walked into
272
00:11:48,427 --> 00:11:50,890
a mother fucking
homeless shelter and said
273
00:11:50,892 --> 00:11:54,024
"I'd like a dozen bagels from
this homeless shelter, please."
274
00:11:54,026 --> 00:11:58,557
I do not eat bagels
from Blue-fucking-Bell, Molly
275
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,291
because these
are poor people bagels!
276
00:12:02,293 --> 00:12:03,624
From where would you like me
to get your bagels...
277
00:12:03,626 --> 00:12:05,158
Forget about the fuckin' bagels.
278
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,258
- Done.
- Except smarten up.
279
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:07,657
- Got it.
- Hang on.
280
00:12:07,659 --> 00:12:09,223
Molly :
Like I said, the day started
281
00:12:09,225 --> 00:12:12,591
by being about bagels,
but that would abruptly change.
282
00:12:12,593 --> 00:12:14,592
My weekly poker game
is moving to the Cobra Lounge.
283
00:12:14,594 --> 00:12:16,557
Tomorrow night,
and then every Tuesday night.
284
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,691
You'll help run it.
285
00:12:17,693 --> 00:12:19,223
Take these names and numbers.
286
00:12:19,225 --> 00:12:20,825
Tell them to bring
ten grand in cash
287
00:12:20,827 --> 00:12:23,728
for the first buy-in.
The blinds are 51/100.
288
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:26,291
- And Molly.
- Yeah.
289
00:12:26,293 --> 00:12:27,926
Don't fucking tell anybody.
290
00:12:35,092 --> 00:12:38,658
Molly : I'd regarded Dean as a
nitwit when I regarded him at all.
291
00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:41,592
But on that pad were nine names
along with phone numbers of
292
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,792
some of the wealthiest and most
famous people in the world.
293
00:12:44,794 --> 00:12:47,923
I put the numbers in my phone
and composed a simple message.
294
00:12:47,925 --> 00:12:50,358
There'd be a game tomorrow
night at the Cobra Lounge.
295
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,261
There was
a $10,000 dollar buy-in.
296
00:12:54,727 --> 00:12:56,893
All nine players confirmed
that they'd be there.
297
00:12:59,992 --> 00:13:03,390
All within 90 seconds
of my sending the text.
298
00:13:03,392 --> 00:13:06,790
Molly : The Cobra Lounge sits on
the edge of the Sunset Strip.
299
00:13:06,792 --> 00:13:09,757
And in it's heyday was famous
for introducing unknown bands
300
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,823
like "The Doors"
and "The Beach Boys."
301
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:15,358
All I knew was school work
and skiing.
302
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,957
I'd always figured
sophistication
303
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:18,958
would be easy to learn
if I ever needed it.
304
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,958
My cheese platter had
a sticker that read
305
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,525
"Cheese From the Great State
of Michigan."
306
00:13:24,527 --> 00:13:26,724
Diego, a professional dealer
307
00:13:26,726 --> 00:13:29,624
was setting up the table
when I got there.
308
00:13:29,626 --> 00:13:31,658
I Googled "What type of music
309
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:33,691
do poker players
like to listen to?"
310
00:13:33,693 --> 00:13:35,491
and then tried to figure out
how to make a playlist
311
00:13:35,493 --> 00:13:37,524
out of one Kenny Rogers song.
312
00:13:37,526 --> 00:13:40,357
I set up the bar...
313
00:13:40,359 --> 00:13:41,957
put out my cheese platter...
314
00:13:41,959 --> 00:13:43,624
and positioned myself
at the door where I'd been
315
00:13:43,626 --> 00:13:44,890
instructed to only let in
316
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:46,490
the names on the list.
317
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:48,057
I was wearing my best dress,
which I had bought
318
00:13:48,059 --> 00:13:51,524
two years earlier
at J.C. Penney for $88.
319
00:13:51,526 --> 00:13:53,557
The players started to arrive.
320
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,024
I introduced myself as Molly,
Dean's assistant.
321
00:13:56,026 --> 00:13:57,193
For you.
322
00:13:58,626 --> 00:14:00,460
Asked if I could
get them a drink.
323
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:07,361
And took from each of them
$10,000 in cash.
324
00:14:09,825 --> 00:14:12,057
- Hi.
- Hi.
325
00:14:12,059 --> 00:14:13,226
I'm...
326
00:14:15,925 --> 00:14:17,157
I know.
327
00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:19,223
- Your boss...
- Everybody here?
328
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:20,557
- Yeah.
- Hey, buddy.
329
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,394
Fuck off,
I'm gonna own your shit.
330
00:14:23,658 --> 00:14:26,123
Ugly dress.
Ugly shoes.
331
00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:27,594
Let's play!
332
00:14:30,226 --> 00:14:32,756
Molly : Diego fanned nine
cards out on the table
333
00:14:32,758 --> 00:14:34,926
and the players
chose for seats.
334
00:14:44,392 --> 00:14:46,291
Diego :
Eleven and eleven...
335
00:14:46,293 --> 00:14:48,491
He checked,
the action's on you.
336
00:14:48,493 --> 00:14:52,123
Molly : I just finished
counting out $90,000 in cash.
337
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:56,991
I was in a room
with movie stars, directors.
338
00:14:56,993 --> 00:14:59,490
Rappers. Boxers.
339
00:14:59,492 --> 00:15:01,461
- He's in trouble.
- And business titans.
340
00:15:02,693 --> 00:15:05,590
They were going all in,
all the time.
341
00:15:05,592 --> 00:15:08,325
Burning through their
buy-ins over and over.
342
00:15:08,327 --> 00:15:10,690
- Here you go. Good luck
- Thank you so much.
343
00:15:10,692 --> 00:15:13,024
I don't know.
344
00:15:13,026 --> 00:15:16,223
Molly : I Googled every word
I heard that I didn't know.
345
00:15:16,225 --> 00:15:17,624
- Flop. River.
- Fourth Street.
346
00:15:17,626 --> 00:15:19,656
Molly :
Fourth Street. Tilt. Cooler.
347
00:15:19,658 --> 00:15:21,823
- Boat. Nuts.
- Yeah, he's pot committed.
348
00:15:21,825 --> 00:15:22,792
Playing the rush.
349
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:27,158
You keeping track
of the buy-ins?
350
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,757
- Yeah.
- Where? Where's the paper?
351
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:30,958
Spreadsheet.
352
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,894
(indistinct chatter)
353
00:15:37,492 --> 00:15:38,960
male #2 :
Yeah, motherfucker.
354
00:15:42,193 --> 00:15:43,627
All in.
355
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:46,923
Molly :
The game ended at 3:30.
356
00:15:46,925 --> 00:15:48,958
And when it did,
that's when Dean shouted out...
357
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,090
Hey, tip Molly if you wanna
get invited back next week.
358
00:15:54,092 --> 00:15:55,724
Molly :
Tip Molly.
359
00:15:55,726 --> 00:15:59,157
Deep down, I didn't like
the sound of that.
360
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:00,657
Deep down, I knew
that when your boss says...
361
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:01,957
- And Molly.
- Yeah.
362
00:16:01,959 --> 00:16:03,790
Don't fucking tell anybody.
363
00:16:03,792 --> 00:16:05,024
Molly : That's usually
not the beginning
364
00:16:05,026 --> 00:16:06,291
of a promising law career.
365
00:16:06,293 --> 00:16:07,826
See you next week.
366
00:16:10,225 --> 00:16:12,425
Molly :
But that was deep down.
367
00:16:12,427 --> 00:16:14,426
I just made $3000.
368
00:16:40,025 --> 00:16:41,790
What are you reading?
369
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:43,257
"The Crucible."
370
00:16:43,259 --> 00:16:44,856
For school?
371
00:16:44,858 --> 00:16:46,327
My father assigned it.
372
00:16:49,659 --> 00:16:52,325
Do you know how many witches
were burned at Salem?
373
00:16:52,327 --> 00:16:53,923
- How many?
- None.
374
00:16:53,925 --> 00:16:56,423
They didn't burn witches.
It's a myth. They hanged them.
375
00:16:56,425 --> 00:16:59,626
Or drowned them, or crushed them
with heavy rocks.
376
00:17:01,592 --> 00:17:03,325
Wait. Aren't...
You're Molly Bloom.
377
00:17:03,327 --> 00:17:05,290
- Right?
- Yeah.
378
00:17:05,292 --> 00:17:07,724
You don't look the same
as in your photos.
379
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:09,194
None of us do.
380
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,191
- Molly.
- Yes.
381
00:17:12,193 --> 00:17:13,723
- I'm Charlie Jaffey.
- Oh.
382
00:17:13,725 --> 00:17:15,690
Thank you again
for seeing me so early.
383
00:17:15,692 --> 00:17:18,091
- This is my daughter, Stella.
- We met.
384
00:17:18,093 --> 00:17:20,723
Isabel will be here in 45
minutes to take you to school.
385
00:17:20,725 --> 00:17:22,557
- Finish your math?
- Yeah.
386
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:24,489
- Civ? You know it?
- Yeah.
387
00:17:24,491 --> 00:17:26,057
Could you teach it
in class today?
388
00:17:26,059 --> 00:17:29,456
If I asked you to teach me
Roman Law, could you do it?
389
00:17:29,458 --> 00:17:31,592
- Yes.
- Okay.
390
00:17:33,491 --> 00:17:35,524
So. First things first.
391
00:17:35,526 --> 00:17:37,426
When was the last time you
slept? Today's Friday.
392
00:17:38,456 --> 00:17:40,356
Tuesday morning at 5 a.m.,
I was arrested by the FBI.
393
00:17:40,358 --> 00:17:42,591
I spent Tuesday
in L.A. County Jail.
394
00:17:42,593 --> 00:17:44,289
I was assessed to be
a minimal flight risk
395
00:17:44,291 --> 00:17:46,024
and bail was set
at a $100,000.
396
00:17:46,026 --> 00:17:47,724
My mother signed over her house.
397
00:17:47,726 --> 00:17:49,723
I was released on Wednesday
and ordered to appear
398
00:17:49,725 --> 00:17:52,958
in Federal Court
in New York's Southern District.
399
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,657
10 a.m. today.
400
00:17:54,659 --> 00:17:55,693
In here.
401
00:17:56,525 --> 00:17:58,194
Close that, will you?
402
00:18:01,858 --> 00:18:04,823
I flew here Wednesday and met
with five attorneys yesterday.
403
00:18:04,825 --> 00:18:07,724
Have a seat.
You didn't hire any of them?
404
00:18:07,726 --> 00:18:09,424
Three of them had
already been taken.
405
00:18:09,426 --> 00:18:11,556
Yeah, 31 people were named
in your indictment.
406
00:18:11,558 --> 00:18:13,024
It's Black Friday
for criminal lawyers.
407
00:18:13,026 --> 00:18:14,256
How about the other two?
408
00:18:14,258 --> 00:18:15,323
One told me money was his
409
00:18:15,325 --> 00:18:16,756
second favorite form of payment.
410
00:18:16,758 --> 00:18:18,223
- I know him.
- The fifth was also taken.
411
00:18:18,224 --> 00:18:20,457
- But he recommended I call you.
- Why?
412
00:18:20,459 --> 00:18:21,990
I told him I wanted someone
who'd worked in
413
00:18:21,992 --> 00:18:24,692
the prosecutor's office and
wasn't even a little bit shady.
414
00:18:27,025 --> 00:18:29,222
Do you know about me?
415
00:18:29,224 --> 00:18:32,024
Um, I've been briefed a little
by my daughter, who knows
416
00:18:32,026 --> 00:18:34,489
a lot about your story
because her mother's a moron.
417
00:18:34,491 --> 00:18:37,723
- Her mother reads the tabloids?
- Yeah, and I read them too.
418
00:18:37,725 --> 00:18:40,024
I read your indictment
after I got your call last night
419
00:18:40,026 --> 00:18:41,923
and I bought your book.
420
00:18:41,925 --> 00:18:44,158
I'm only on page 112,
but, Molly, did you commit
421
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,924
a felony and then write
a book about it?
422
00:18:45,926 --> 00:18:47,324
I haven't run a game
in over two years.
423
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:48,557
Not to spoil the ending,
but that's
424
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:49,723
when the government
raided my game
425
00:18:49,725 --> 00:18:51,356
and took all my money assuming
426
00:18:51,358 --> 00:18:53,890
all of it was made illegally,
which it wasn't.
427
00:18:53,892 --> 00:18:55,924
I've been living in my
mother's house in Telluride
428
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:59,656
and... I wrote the book so I
could start paying off debts.
429
00:18:59,658 --> 00:19:01,657
I just finished the press tour
for the book and I moved back
430
00:19:01,659 --> 00:19:04,624
to Los Angeles
so I could start over.
431
00:19:04,626 --> 00:19:08,289
Hm. You ran games in L.A.
for roughly eight years?
432
00:19:08,291 --> 00:19:10,457
- Yeah. Right.
- Without taking a rake?
433
00:19:10,459 --> 00:19:12,290
And then you ran games
in New York for roughly two.
434
00:19:12,292 --> 00:19:14,424
Well, I took a rake
for the last six months.
435
00:19:14,426 --> 00:19:19,057
In the first 112 pages,
you name a bunch of names.
436
00:19:19,059 --> 00:19:20,390
- Sorry?
- Uh.
437
00:19:20,392 --> 00:19:21,623
You named the names
of some movie stars
438
00:19:21,625 --> 00:19:23,924
that played in your game.
439
00:19:23,926 --> 00:19:25,456
Yeah.
440
00:19:25,458 --> 00:19:27,659
That not against
some sort of poker code?
441
00:19:29,858 --> 00:19:31,390
Am I supposed to be sitting
all the way over here?
442
00:19:31,392 --> 00:19:33,226
- Can you hear me from there?
- Yeah.
443
00:19:34,859 --> 00:19:36,423
Are you taking me
on as a client?
444
00:19:36,425 --> 00:19:38,423
My retainer is $250,000.
445
00:19:38,425 --> 00:19:40,893
Do you have $250,000?
446
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:44,557
No. I don't have anything.
447
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:45,991
What about the sales
from your book?
448
00:19:45,993 --> 00:19:48,390
The book isn't
jumping off the shelves.
449
00:19:48,392 --> 00:19:50,390
But I will find a way
to pay you, Charlie.
450
00:19:50,392 --> 00:19:51,759
Ask around about me.
451
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,624
Unfortunately,
the people I'd ask
452
00:19:54,626 --> 00:19:56,524
are goin' away for a while.
453
00:19:56,526 --> 00:19:59,423
What happened on Tuesday morning
was called a "GPS Takedown."
454
00:19:59,425 --> 00:20:01,690
Thirty-one people were arrested
in the same instant.
455
00:20:01,692 --> 00:20:04,222
Something in excess
of 600 agents were dispatched
456
00:20:04,224 --> 00:20:05,923
to locations
in New York and L.A.
457
00:20:05,925 --> 00:20:08,122
in coordinated strikes
with automatic weapons.
458
00:20:08,124 --> 00:20:10,357
And you're trying to tell me
you're in my office
459
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,190
because you raked a game
of Texas Hold 'Em?
460
00:20:13,192 --> 00:20:15,423
Have you seen the other names
in your indictment?
461
00:20:15,425 --> 00:20:17,724
"Nicholas Kozlowski.
Peter Druzhinsky.
462
00:20:17,726 --> 00:20:19,489
Peter Antonovich.
The Gershen Brothers."
463
00:20:19,491 --> 00:20:20,991
I mean come on, Molly,
just how deep
464
00:20:20,993 --> 00:20:22,323
into the Russian mob were you?
465
00:20:22,325 --> 00:20:23,859
Because your book doesn't say.
466
00:20:40,426 --> 00:20:43,289
Why are you making your daughter
read "The Crucible?"
467
00:20:43,291 --> 00:20:44,723
So she can see
what happens to a group
468
00:20:44,725 --> 00:20:46,524
of bored teenage girls
when they gossip.
469
00:20:46,526 --> 00:20:48,223
- I never read the play.
- Many consider it to be...
470
00:20:48,225 --> 00:20:49,657
The best play
of the 20th century.
471
00:20:49,659 --> 00:20:50,857
Is that what
many consider it to be...
472
00:20:50,859 --> 00:20:53,356
I don't defend
violent criminals.
473
00:20:53,358 --> 00:20:55,457
- I've never hurt anyone...
- Your friends have.
474
00:20:55,459 --> 00:20:57,457
I've never heard of 90%
of the names...
475
00:20:57,459 --> 00:20:58,556
- On the indictment.
- And the other 10%?
476
00:20:58,558 --> 00:20:59,657
I didn't know they were
connected.
477
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:00,890
I'd no idea
who they were.
478
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:02,490
Let me ask you a question.
479
00:21:02,492 --> 00:21:05,457
The character in the book
you call "Dean Keith"
480
00:21:05,459 --> 00:21:08,290
he didn't say
"Poor people bagels," did he?
481
00:21:08,292 --> 00:21:09,657
I think I know who he is.
482
00:21:09,659 --> 00:21:10,823
I think I know
a real estate lawyer
483
00:21:10,825 --> 00:21:12,123
that worked with him
and quit.
484
00:21:12,125 --> 00:21:13,490
He said...
485
00:21:13,492 --> 00:21:14,925
"Nigger bagels," right?
486
00:21:20,925 --> 00:21:22,824
I'm not telling you his real
name. He's not involved in this.
487
00:21:22,826 --> 00:21:24,959
But you were willing
to name some names.
488
00:21:29,024 --> 00:21:31,490
(chair scraping the floor)
489
00:21:31,492 --> 00:21:33,123
Why is the FBI arresting me
490
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,623
two years after
I stopped running games?
491
00:21:34,625 --> 00:21:36,791
Were you paid extra
in your book deal
492
00:21:36,793 --> 00:21:38,393
to name the movie stars?
493
00:21:41,792 --> 00:21:44,189
I'm not your guy, Molly.
494
00:21:44,191 --> 00:21:47,459
I wish you good luck,
but this just isn't for me.
495
00:21:48,426 --> 00:21:50,260
(Charlie sighs)
496
00:21:55,793 --> 00:21:57,256
(sighs)
497
00:21:57,258 --> 00:21:59,456
I didn't know
who the Russians were.
498
00:21:59,458 --> 00:22:01,855
I can get you
the $250,000.
499
00:22:01,857 --> 00:22:03,324
I left 10 times
that on the street.
500
00:22:03,326 --> 00:22:04,423
It'll just take some time.
501
00:22:04,425 --> 00:22:05,657
We regularly lend out our best
502
00:22:05,659 --> 00:22:07,956
litigators like me to the ACLU
503
00:22:07,958 --> 00:22:10,356
Southern Poverty Law Center,
veterans groups.
504
00:22:10,358 --> 00:22:12,591
But I don't think
I can convince my partners
505
00:22:12,593 --> 00:22:14,724
to take a flyer
on "The Poker Princess."
506
00:22:14,726 --> 00:22:16,523
I didn't name myself
"The Poker Princess."
507
00:22:16,525 --> 00:22:19,855
Uh, "Molly Bloom, the self
proclaimed Poker Princess..."
508
00:22:19,857 --> 00:22:21,023
Is that "Us Weekly?"
509
00:22:21,025 --> 00:22:22,657
Yeah, I would agree
it would be unusual
510
00:22:22,659 --> 00:22:24,591
for them to print
something that wasn't true.
511
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:26,057
But it's not true,
and if you think
512
00:22:26,059 --> 00:22:28,757
a Princess can do what I did,
you're incorrect.
513
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:30,324
I'm getting you don't
think much of me.
514
00:22:30,326 --> 00:22:32,324
But what if every one
of your ill-informed
515
00:22:32,326 --> 00:22:34,323
unsophisticated opinions
about me were wrong?
516
00:22:34,325 --> 00:22:35,657
- I'd be amazed.
- Yeah. You know what, bud?
517
00:22:35,659 --> 00:22:37,223
- You would.
- You don't need me.
518
00:22:37,225 --> 00:22:40,193
- You need a publicist.
- No, I need a fucking lawyer!
519
00:22:47,125 --> 00:22:48,759
You didn't answer my question.
520
00:22:51,558 --> 00:22:53,293
When was the last time
you slept?
521
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:57,759
It was a while ago.
522
00:23:06,225 --> 00:23:07,990
Alright.
523
00:23:07,992 --> 00:23:09,656
I'm gonna walk you through
the arraignment this morning
524
00:23:09,658 --> 00:23:11,090
'cause you shouldn't
do that alone.
525
00:23:11,092 --> 00:23:13,056
I'm gonna put some bodies
on you and walk you
526
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:15,089
through the side door,
'cause I don't know
527
00:23:15,091 --> 00:23:16,123
what you've got on the Russians.
528
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:17,624
But neither do they.
529
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:19,390
And the Russians
take care of shit.
530
00:23:19,392 --> 00:23:20,926
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
531
00:23:23,725 --> 00:23:24,792
Yes.
532
00:23:26,059 --> 00:23:28,959
(instrumental music)
533
00:23:30,425 --> 00:23:33,389
Almost. You gotta keep
your eyes up, alright?
534
00:23:33,391 --> 00:23:34,923
Always gotta look ahead.
535
00:23:34,925 --> 00:23:35,956
If you look down
536
00:23:35,958 --> 00:23:37,192
that's where
you're gonna go.
537
00:23:39,025 --> 00:23:40,256
Alright?
538
00:23:40,258 --> 00:23:41,489
If you look down
539
00:23:41,491 --> 00:23:43,624
that's where you'll go,
alright?
540
00:23:43,626 --> 00:23:45,460
- Yeah.
- Alright.
541
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,591
Let's go.
542
00:23:49,593 --> 00:23:51,090
Molly :
My father's a therapist
543
00:23:51,092 --> 00:23:53,223
and psychology professor
at Colorado State.
544
00:23:53,225 --> 00:23:54,655
No! No!
545
00:23:54,657 --> 00:23:55,722
Molly :
The second rule of his house
546
00:23:55,724 --> 00:23:57,289
is that academic excellence
547
00:23:57,291 --> 00:23:59,324
and athletic excellence
weren't optional.
548
00:23:59,326 --> 00:24:01,489
You can't be afraid of it,
alright?
549
00:24:01,491 --> 00:24:03,223
Don't play defense.
550
00:24:03,225 --> 00:24:04,357
Molly :
And the first rule
551
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,624
was that he made all the rules.
552
00:24:05,626 --> 00:24:06,490
Again.
553
00:24:06,492 --> 00:24:08,222
Dad, I'm pretty tired.
554
00:24:08,224 --> 00:24:10,256
Hon, she's tired.
555
00:24:10,258 --> 00:24:12,189
We've been out here
since 6 o'clock.
556
00:24:12,191 --> 00:24:13,658
Her lips are blue.
557
00:24:15,024 --> 00:24:16,658
- You're tired?
- Yeah.
558
00:24:19,924 --> 00:24:21,392
What's another word for tired?
559
00:24:23,426 --> 00:24:26,260
Name a synonym for tired
and we'll get in the car.
560
00:24:27,326 --> 00:24:28,790
Weak.
561
00:24:28,792 --> 00:24:30,456
That's right.
562
00:24:30,458 --> 00:24:31,691
Let's go home.
563
00:24:32,325 --> 00:24:34,523
Again.
564
00:24:34,525 --> 00:24:36,989
Molly : I decided to postpone
law school another year.
565
00:24:36,991 --> 00:24:39,157
After six weeks of tips,
I went to Barneys
566
00:24:39,159 --> 00:24:42,089
and asked for a dress that made
me look nothing like myself.
567
00:24:42,091 --> 00:24:44,022
I'd overheard stories
about games that folded
568
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:47,489
after one bad night and I
needed this one to keep going.
569
00:24:47,491 --> 00:24:49,889
And I needed to bring
value to it.
570
00:24:49,891 --> 00:24:52,057
Molly : I knew if I
wanted to cement my place
571
00:24:52,059 --> 00:24:53,922
there was one guy I needed
to team up with.
572
00:24:53,924 --> 00:24:55,089
Ten thousand.
573
00:24:55,091 --> 00:24:56,756
Molly :
And that was this man.
574
00:24:56,758 --> 00:24:59,189
The game had regulars
and the game had guests.
575
00:24:59,191 --> 00:25:01,456
And four of the regulars
were famous actors.
576
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:03,390
And I'm gonna call one of them
Player X.
577
00:25:03,392 --> 00:25:04,655
I'm all in.
578
00:25:04,657 --> 00:25:05,722
Molly :
Player X subscribed
579
00:25:05,724 --> 00:25:07,290
to the belief that money won
580
00:25:07,292 --> 00:25:08,790
was twice as good
as money earned.
581
00:25:08,792 --> 00:25:11,490
He lived to beat people
and take their money.
582
00:25:11,492 --> 00:25:13,222
Here's Player X
talking to one of the guests
583
00:25:13,224 --> 00:25:14,489
into folding the winning hand.
584
00:25:14,491 --> 00:25:16,855
I swear on... look at me.
585
00:25:16,857 --> 00:25:19,259
I swear on my mother's life,
I have you.
586
00:25:21,992 --> 00:25:25,390
Molly : Player X was the best
player at the table, and tonight...
587
00:25:25,392 --> 00:25:26,859
this guy was the worst.
588
00:25:30,591 --> 00:25:32,156
He's staring at his cards.
589
00:25:32,158 --> 00:25:33,756
Even a reasonably good amateur
590
00:25:33,758 --> 00:25:35,989
would know it was
mathematically the best hand.
591
00:25:35,991 --> 00:25:38,223
Which in poker
is called "The Nuts."
592
00:25:38,225 --> 00:25:39,990
There was $47,000 in the pot
593
00:25:39,992 --> 00:25:41,623
and the guest
was holding the nuts.
594
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:43,089
But he was starting
to get confused
595
00:25:43,091 --> 00:25:44,756
because a movie star
was talking to him.
596
00:25:44,758 --> 00:25:46,923
My mother's life man,
I'm not messing with you.
597
00:25:46,925 --> 00:25:47,956
Why would you be telling me?
598
00:25:47,958 --> 00:25:49,156
Either I am messing with you
599
00:25:49,158 --> 00:25:50,257
or you're new to the game.
600
00:25:50,259 --> 00:25:51,489
You've had bad cards all night.
601
00:25:51,491 --> 00:25:53,356
You should've folded
after the flop
602
00:25:53,358 --> 00:25:54,989
and I don't wanna win
more of your money this way.
603
00:25:54,991 --> 00:25:56,292
I've got queens under here.
604
00:25:57,658 --> 00:25:58,792
Take your time.
605
00:26:12,192 --> 00:26:14,323
- Fold.
- Fuck you.
606
00:26:14,325 --> 00:26:16,357
- No!
- Oh.
607
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,492
(instrumental music)
608
00:26:23,592 --> 00:26:26,323
Molly : A fish is a
particular kind of player.
609
00:26:26,325 --> 00:26:27,923
A fish has money.
610
00:26:27,925 --> 00:26:30,523
A fish plays loose
and doesn't fold a lot.
611
00:26:30,525 --> 00:26:33,323
A fish is good...
but not too good.
612
00:26:33,325 --> 00:26:34,755
There's an ATM in the hall, bro.
613
00:26:34,757 --> 00:26:35,990
Molly :
The Cobra Lounge may belong
614
00:26:35,992 --> 00:26:37,423
to Dean Keith.
615
00:26:37,425 --> 00:26:38,923
But the game belonged
to Player X.
616
00:26:38,925 --> 00:26:40,655
People wanted to say
they played with him.
617
00:26:40,657 --> 00:26:41,989
The same way they wanted to say
618
00:26:41,991 --> 00:26:43,555
they rode on Air Force One.
619
00:26:43,557 --> 00:26:45,189
My job security
was gonna depend
620
00:26:45,191 --> 00:26:46,822
on bringing him his fish.
621
00:26:46,824 --> 00:26:48,522
But where would I find people
with a lot of money
622
00:26:48,524 --> 00:26:49,922
who didn't know how to spend it
623
00:26:49,924 --> 00:26:51,523
and liked to be
around celebrities?
624
00:26:51,525 --> 00:26:53,256
If they say
they're interested in poker
625
00:26:53,258 --> 00:26:55,522
you give 'em my number,
I vet them.
626
00:26:55,524 --> 00:26:57,089
They end up playing in a game...
627
00:26:57,091 --> 00:27:00,089
I'll give you a $1000
the first time they play.
628
00:27:00,091 --> 00:27:02,389
Five hundred every time
after that.
629
00:27:02,391 --> 00:27:04,956
Be sure to mention
these guys are all regulars.
630
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:06,190
Is this true?
631
00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:07,425
These guys play?
632
00:27:09,357 --> 00:27:12,523
Molly : The Commerce Casino is
off the 5 freeway in East L.A.
633
00:27:12,525 --> 00:27:15,556
And no one's ever gonna confuse
it with Monte Carlo.
634
00:27:15,558 --> 00:27:17,156
I'd watch the tables
for a while
635
00:27:17,158 --> 00:27:19,222
before I approached
a friendly-looking pit boss.
636
00:27:19,224 --> 00:27:22,056
Third chair
at table eight can't lose.
637
00:27:22,058 --> 00:27:25,123
Unless there are players
at his table who can win.
638
00:27:25,125 --> 00:27:27,756
You know about the game
at the Cobra Lounge, right?
639
00:27:27,758 --> 00:27:28,789
Sure.
640
00:27:28,791 --> 00:27:31,223
One thousand for every player
you send me.
641
00:27:31,225 --> 00:27:33,223
You get a piece
of what they lose.
642
00:27:33,225 --> 00:27:34,723
No pros.
643
00:27:34,725 --> 00:27:36,756
I'm Molly.
644
00:27:36,758 --> 00:27:38,355
Molly :
Poker was my Trojan horse
645
00:27:38,357 --> 00:27:41,189
into the highest level
of finance, technology
646
00:27:41,191 --> 00:27:43,057
politics, entertainment, art.
647
00:27:43,059 --> 00:27:44,589
All I had to do was listen.
648
00:27:44,591 --> 00:27:46,556
The art world is controlled
by a few major dealers.
649
00:27:46,558 --> 00:27:48,789
China's Telecom companies wanna
partner with other providers.
650
00:27:48,791 --> 00:27:50,488
The owners don't mind
spending $30 million
651
00:27:50,490 --> 00:27:52,990
on an outfielder
that hits 320 with 110 RBI.
652
00:27:52,992 --> 00:27:54,322
They alone control the market.
653
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:56,690
They chose the artist
they wanna be important.
654
00:27:56,692 --> 00:27:58,156
They don't mind
spending $10 million
655
00:27:58,158 --> 00:28:00,389
on a pitcher
who is 8-14 this season.
656
00:28:00,391 --> 00:28:01,990
- It's gonna be Gephardt.
- They set the prices.
657
00:28:01,992 --> 00:28:04,889
They even mark 'em up,
70, 80, 90 percent.
658
00:28:04,891 --> 00:28:07,690
They're all very excited
about a company called Twitter.
659
00:28:07,692 --> 00:28:10,023
Unregulated money.
Usually all cash. Unreported.
660
00:28:10,025 --> 00:28:11,822
- His days are numbered.
- His days are numbered.
661
00:28:11,824 --> 00:28:13,189
I don't know how much longer
she's gonna be in that job.
662
00:28:13,191 --> 00:28:14,221
- She's done.
- She's gone.
663
00:28:14,223 --> 00:28:15,655
All in.
664
00:28:15,657 --> 00:28:16,690
Molly :
People have asked me what
665
00:28:16,692 --> 00:28:18,090
my goal was at that point.
666
00:28:18,092 --> 00:28:19,723
What was my end game?
667
00:28:19,725 --> 00:28:22,255
Back then, I would have
laughed at that question.
668
00:28:22,257 --> 00:28:24,022
I was raised to be a champion.
669
00:28:24,024 --> 00:28:25,556
My goal was to win.
670
00:28:25,558 --> 00:28:27,355
At what and against whom?
671
00:28:27,357 --> 00:28:29,755
- Those were just details.
- I'm all in.
672
00:28:29,757 --> 00:28:31,057
Molly :
I had my own apartment now.
673
00:28:31,059 --> 00:28:32,188
I'll take it.
674
00:28:32,190 --> 00:28:34,221
Molly :
A new car...
675
00:28:34,223 --> 00:28:36,488
and $17,000 in a shoebox.
676
00:28:36,490 --> 00:28:38,459
Law school could wait
one more year.
677
00:28:40,425 --> 00:28:43,722
male #3 :
Next, please. Come on through.
678
00:28:43,724 --> 00:28:47,590
Step on up please. Thank you.
Come on through.
679
00:28:47,592 --> 00:28:50,188
So. Here's all that's
gonna happen today.
680
00:28:50,190 --> 00:28:51,623
Judge is gonna ask
each defendant
681
00:28:51,625 --> 00:28:52,923
if they've read the indictment
682
00:28:52,925 --> 00:28:55,155
or they'd like the court
to read it to them.
683
00:28:55,157 --> 00:28:57,488
Then the judge is gonna ask
how you plead.
684
00:28:57,490 --> 00:28:59,523
You're gonna answer,
"Not guilty."
685
00:28:59,525 --> 00:29:00,956
I'll make it clear
for the record
686
00:29:00,958 --> 00:29:02,022
that I'm not your counsel
687
00:29:02,024 --> 00:29:03,288
but I am appearing
on your behalf
688
00:29:03,290 --> 00:29:04,355
at the arraignment.
689
00:29:04,357 --> 00:29:05,890
In propria persona.
690
00:29:05,892 --> 00:29:08,188
In propria persona
means on your behalf.
691
00:29:08,190 --> 00:29:09,455
- Yeah.
- No.
692
00:29:09,457 --> 00:29:11,089
I'm saying it means
on your behalf.
693
00:29:11,091 --> 00:29:12,288
I am appearing on your behalf.
694
00:29:12,290 --> 00:29:13,323
In propria persona means
695
00:29:13,325 --> 00:29:14,855
you're appearing on your behalf.
696
00:29:14,857 --> 00:29:16,191
Not my behalf.
697
00:29:17,792 --> 00:29:20,289
I'll check that out,
but the point is...
698
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:21,655
I'm not your lawyer.
699
00:29:21,657 --> 00:29:23,658
And I'll make that clear
for the record.
700
00:29:33,458 --> 00:29:36,592
(indistinct chatter)
701
00:29:39,024 --> 00:29:40,492
(gavel pounding)
702
00:29:42,258 --> 00:29:44,323
That's us over there.
703
00:29:44,325 --> 00:29:46,023
You know, why don't you
sit there?
704
00:29:46,025 --> 00:29:47,525
And you sit on the other side.
705
00:29:54,624 --> 00:29:57,622
You've gotta good judge.
He's a good guy.
706
00:29:57,624 --> 00:30:00,489
- Counsel, please...
- How about the prosecutor?
707
00:30:00,491 --> 00:30:02,323
Harrison : Good morning, Your
Honor, Harrison Wellstone
708
00:30:02,325 --> 00:30:04,723
Assistant U.S. Attorney
for the Southern District
709
00:30:04,725 --> 00:30:07,022
joined at counsel table
by Assistant U.S. Attorney
710
00:30:07,024 --> 00:30:11,189
Eric Brennan and FBI
Special Agent Deborah D'Angelo.
711
00:30:11,191 --> 00:30:12,655
Thank you.
712
00:30:12,657 --> 00:30:14,855
Are there any oral motions
at this time?
713
00:30:14,857 --> 00:30:16,289
Switch with me.
714
00:30:16,291 --> 00:30:18,455
(indistinct chattering)
715
00:30:18,457 --> 00:30:20,623
On behalf of the defendant...
716
00:30:20,625 --> 00:30:23,389
Just in case your lawyer
doesn't mention it
717
00:30:23,391 --> 00:30:24,723
next time you appear
in front of the judge
718
00:30:24,725 --> 00:30:27,690
you might wanna re-think
your clothes. Okay?
719
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:29,759
You look like the Cinemax
version of yourself.
720
00:30:31,223 --> 00:30:33,188
I sold my clothes
when the government seized
721
00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:34,856
all of my money two years ago.
722
00:30:34,858 --> 00:30:37,423
Which, incidentally,
was the last time I ran a game.
723
00:30:37,425 --> 00:30:40,021
But I think
I already mentioned that.
724
00:30:40,023 --> 00:30:41,590
- Okay.
- Not guilty.
725
00:30:41,592 --> 00:30:42,988
- Thank you, you may be seated.
- Hey. Switch back.
726
00:30:42,990 --> 00:30:46,723
Defendant number two.
Nicholas Segel.
727
00:30:46,725 --> 00:30:49,189
Judge : Has the defendant seen
a copy of the indictment?
728
00:30:49,191 --> 00:30:50,523
Nicholas :
Yes, Your Honor.
729
00:30:50,525 --> 00:30:52,022
Have you discussed it
with your lawyer?
730
00:30:52,024 --> 00:30:53,656
Nicholas :
Yes.
731
00:30:53,658 --> 00:30:54,656
Switch back.
732
00:30:54,658 --> 00:30:56,156
Nicholas :
Yes.
733
00:30:56,158 --> 00:30:58,789
- And how do you plead?
- Not guilty.
734
00:30:58,791 --> 00:31:00,855
Thank you,
you may have your seat.
735
00:31:00,857 --> 00:31:02,355
Your old boss.
736
00:31:02,357 --> 00:31:04,488
The one in the book
you called Dean Keith.
737
00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:06,056
He was terrible to you.
738
00:31:06,058 --> 00:31:08,021
Why cover up for him
by changing it
739
00:31:08,023 --> 00:31:09,655
to "poor people bagels?"
740
00:31:09,657 --> 00:31:12,255
I promise you
it couldn't matter less.
741
00:31:12,257 --> 00:31:14,790
Judge : Has the defendant seen
a copy of the indictment?
742
00:31:14,792 --> 00:31:18,088
- Just making conversation.
- Yes, your honor.
743
00:31:18,090 --> 00:31:20,389
- Hey, switch back.
- Discussed with your lawyer?
744
00:31:20,391 --> 00:31:23,423
- I have.
- How do you plead this time?
745
00:31:23,425 --> 00:31:24,790
Not guilty.
746
00:31:24,792 --> 00:31:26,556
Judge :
Have a seat.
747
00:31:26,558 --> 00:31:29,488
Defendant number four.
Molly Bloom.
748
00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:32,625
(indistinct chatter)
749
00:31:36,023 --> 00:31:38,590
Good morning, Your Honor.
Uh, Charles Jaffey
750
00:31:38,592 --> 00:31:41,259
for the defendant,
just for the purposes...
751
00:31:45,957 --> 00:31:48,288
(instrumental music)
752
00:31:48,290 --> 00:31:51,121
Well, it's good to see you,
Mr. Jaffey.
753
00:31:51,123 --> 00:31:52,592
Are you with us this morning?
754
00:31:55,390 --> 00:31:57,422
Mr. Jaffey?
755
00:31:57,424 --> 00:32:00,755
Uh, yes, sir.
Just, uh, one moment.
756
00:32:00,757 --> 00:32:04,489
- Switch back.
- Seriously?
757
00:32:04,491 --> 00:32:06,789
You said you left ten times
that much on the street.
758
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:10,755
In my office, when I said
the retainer was $250,000
759
00:32:10,757 --> 00:32:13,056
you said,
"I left ten times that much..."
760
00:32:13,058 --> 00:32:14,423
Yeah.
761
00:32:14,425 --> 00:32:16,722
Counsel! I need to record
your appearance.
762
00:32:16,724 --> 00:32:20,555
If it please the court,
Your Honor, Just one moment.
763
00:32:20,557 --> 00:32:22,821
You're extended credit,
you're destitute
764
00:32:22,823 --> 00:32:25,056
and you leave two and a half
million dollars on the street?
765
00:32:25,058 --> 00:32:26,589
I had to.
766
00:32:26,591 --> 00:32:28,055
Didn't anyone try
to buy your debt sheet?
767
00:32:28,057 --> 00:32:30,423
Everyone tried to buy my debt
sheet. Is this...
768
00:32:30,425 --> 00:32:32,989
Why didn't you sell it like
you sold your clothes?
769
00:32:32,991 --> 00:32:35,788
- I couldn't.
- Why?
770
00:32:35,790 --> 00:32:38,459
I couldn't be sure
how they were gonna collect.
771
00:32:41,725 --> 00:32:43,857
I was afraid
you were gonna say that.
772
00:32:49,057 --> 00:32:50,222
Counsel!
773
00:32:50,224 --> 00:32:51,821
(clears throat)
774
00:32:51,823 --> 00:32:52,821
Yes, your Honor. Uh...
775
00:32:52,823 --> 00:32:54,389
Charles Jaffey
for the defendant.
776
00:32:54,391 --> 00:32:55,854
For the purposes
of this hearing only?
777
00:32:55,856 --> 00:32:58,255
No, sir.
I am Molly Bloom's attorney.
778
00:32:58,257 --> 00:33:00,656
Uh, she's read the indictment,
discussed it with her lawyer.
779
00:33:00,658 --> 00:33:02,289
Waives the right
to have it read to her
780
00:33:02,291 --> 00:33:05,021
and pleads "Not guilty."
781
00:33:05,023 --> 00:33:06,988
Thank you, you may be seated.
782
00:33:06,990 --> 00:33:09,754
female #2 : Defendant number five!
Ilian Gershen!
783
00:33:09,756 --> 00:33:11,789
Gershen :
Good morning, Your Honor.
784
00:33:11,791 --> 00:33:13,388
I'm gonna have to keep
reading your book.
785
00:33:13,390 --> 00:33:16,121
(instrumental music)
786
00:33:16,123 --> 00:33:18,322
Molly : There was a track
star of the 1930's
787
00:33:18,324 --> 00:33:20,455
named Matthew Robinson.
788
00:33:20,457 --> 00:33:22,388
Matthew Robinson shattered
the Olympic record
789
00:33:22,390 --> 00:33:26,022
in the 200
at the Berlin Games in 1936.
790
00:33:26,024 --> 00:33:29,522
Absolutely shattered
the Olympic record...
791
00:33:29,524 --> 00:33:31,021
and came in second.
792
00:33:31,023 --> 00:33:33,921
The man who came in first
was Jesse Owens.
793
00:33:33,923 --> 00:33:35,988
Jesse Owens went on
to be a legend.
794
00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:38,188
Matthew Robinson
went on to be a janitor
795
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,556
at a whites-only
middle school in Pasadena.
796
00:33:40,558 --> 00:33:43,654
The difference
was 4/10 of a second.
797
00:33:43,656 --> 00:33:45,055
As if that wasn't enough
798
00:33:45,057 --> 00:33:46,523
Matthew Robinson
had a little brother
799
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:47,555
who was also an athlete.
800
00:33:47,557 --> 00:33:49,657
His name was Jackie.
801
00:33:50,591 --> 00:33:51,654
I have two younger brothers
802
00:33:51,656 --> 00:33:53,488
who are overachievers as well.
803
00:33:53,490 --> 00:33:55,921
While I was ranked third
in North America
804
00:33:55,923 --> 00:33:58,755
my brother Jeremy
was number one in the world.
805
00:33:58,757 --> 00:34:02,221
And while I was placing into
AP Chemistry as a sophomore
806
00:34:02,223 --> 00:34:03,654
my brother Jordan was doing it
807
00:34:03,656 --> 00:34:05,021
when he was 12-years-old
or something.
808
00:34:05,023 --> 00:34:06,556
I don't know.
809
00:34:06,558 --> 00:34:08,754
I was a hot shot student
and a hot shot skier
810
00:34:08,756 --> 00:34:10,788
everywhere but my own house.
811
00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:13,889
As I got older, I began
to bait my father into fights
812
00:34:13,891 --> 00:34:15,622
without really knowing
why I was doing it.
813
00:34:15,624 --> 00:34:17,691
What did everyone
learn in school today?
814
00:34:22,724 --> 00:34:25,222
Uh... I learned
that Sigmund Freud
815
00:34:25,224 --> 00:34:26,754
was both a misogynist
and an idiot.
816
00:34:26,756 --> 00:34:28,689
And anyone who relies
on his theories
817
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:30,322
of human psychology is a quack.
818
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:31,621
I don't know why you'd say that.
819
00:34:31,623 --> 00:34:33,689
You asked me what I
learned in school today.
820
00:34:33,691 --> 00:34:35,458
- Is this Mrs. Linwood?
- Yup.
821
00:34:36,556 --> 00:34:38,222
Did she happen
to mention anything
822
00:34:38,224 --> 00:34:40,189
about his work
on the unconscious mind?
823
00:34:40,191 --> 00:34:43,088
His dream analysis has
the credibility of a horoscope.
824
00:34:43,090 --> 00:34:44,689
But what got my attention
825
00:34:44,691 --> 00:34:46,988
was that he opposed the women's
emancipation movement.
826
00:34:46,990 --> 00:34:48,255
He believed that a woman's life
827
00:34:48,257 --> 00:34:49,621
is about her
reproductive functions.
828
00:34:49,623 --> 00:34:51,256
So you're really getting
to the nuts and bolts
829
00:34:51,258 --> 00:34:52,488
of why middle-class
suburban white girls
830
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:53,655
have been oppressed
for centuries.
831
00:34:53,657 --> 00:34:54,855
No, Mrs. Linwood was just...
832
00:34:54,857 --> 00:34:58,189
Barbara Linwood
doesn't like men, Molly.
833
00:34:58,191 --> 00:35:00,588
She doesn't like dicks,
dad, there's a difference.
834
00:35:00,590 --> 00:35:01,857
Molly...
835
00:35:05,958 --> 00:35:07,621
Don't disrespect me
like that at the table.
836
00:35:07,623 --> 00:35:08,654
I wasn't disrespecting you.
837
00:35:08,656 --> 00:35:10,423
I was disrespecting Freud.
838
00:35:10,425 --> 00:35:11,722
And it's the kitchen table
839
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:13,288
not the tomb
of the unknown soldier.
840
00:35:13,290 --> 00:35:15,555
And I'm a professional
psychologist, not a quack.
841
00:35:15,557 --> 00:35:16,989
- I never said you were...
- Yeah, you did.
842
00:35:16,991 --> 00:35:18,325
And don't do it again.
843
00:35:21,324 --> 00:35:23,021
And don't ever use language
like that again.
844
00:35:23,023 --> 00:35:25,688
Okay. Ignore my teachers,
watch my language
845
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:27,388
and respect the kitchen table.
846
00:35:27,390 --> 00:35:28,622
What else do I
need to do before
847
00:35:28,624 --> 00:35:30,021
I'm allowed
to disagree with you?
848
00:35:30,023 --> 00:35:31,288
Make your own money
849
00:35:31,290 --> 00:35:33,988
so you can live
in your own house...
850
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:35,457
and eat your own food.
851
00:35:38,357 --> 00:35:40,422
Molly : I'd been running
the game for three years
852
00:35:40,424 --> 00:35:43,088
and saved $58,000.
853
00:35:43,090 --> 00:35:44,722
I was recruiting
and vetting players.
854
00:35:44,724 --> 00:35:46,121
- Keeping the books.
- Call.
855
00:35:46,123 --> 00:35:47,588
Collecting
and delivering checks.
856
00:35:47,590 --> 00:35:49,022
Meeting the needs
of all the players
857
00:35:49,024 --> 00:35:50,455
through out the week
and still working
858
00:35:50,457 --> 00:35:52,021
full time for Dean Keith.
859
00:35:52,023 --> 00:35:54,289
Who made it clear that
if I quit the office job
860
00:35:54,291 --> 00:35:55,355
I'd lose the game.
861
00:35:55,357 --> 00:35:57,021
- Call.
- Eights, full of nines.
862
00:35:57,023 --> 00:35:59,957
(clamoring)
863
00:36:07,423 --> 00:36:08,821
I thought he had trips too.
864
00:36:08,823 --> 00:36:10,455
He was slow-playing
into the river
865
00:36:10,457 --> 00:36:12,422
and he hid the pocket eights
pretty well.
866
00:36:12,424 --> 00:36:14,156
It's a tough beat, man.
867
00:36:14,158 --> 00:36:16,591
- You owe the game...
- I know what I owe the game!
868
00:36:19,556 --> 00:36:20,655
I wanna talk to you a minute.
869
00:36:20,657 --> 00:36:22,121
- Okay.
- In the hall.
870
00:36:22,123 --> 00:36:25,387
♪.. It came from heartache ..♪
871
00:36:25,389 --> 00:36:27,988
♪.. Then it died ..♪
872
00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:30,891
♪.. From the street... ..♪
873
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:34,424
Is he cheating?
874
00:36:35,557 --> 00:36:36,521
No.
875
00:36:36,523 --> 00:36:38,822
- How would you know?
- I'd know.
876
00:36:38,824 --> 00:36:40,156
He and Diego
aren't in bed together?
877
00:36:40,158 --> 00:36:41,458
No.
878
00:36:42,324 --> 00:36:44,388
What about him and you?
879
00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:45,854
A 52 card deck produces
880
00:36:45,856 --> 00:36:48,388
hundreds of millions
of random patterns.
881
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:50,688
But every time one of you loses
two weeks in a row
882
00:36:50,690 --> 00:36:52,189
you're sure something fishy
is going on?
883
00:36:52,191 --> 00:36:53,424
Come on.
884
00:36:56,324 --> 00:36:58,622
I'm gonna stop paying you.
885
00:36:58,624 --> 00:37:01,922
- What do you mean?
- As my assistant.
886
00:37:01,924 --> 00:37:03,355
- Are you firing me?
- I'm not firing you.
887
00:37:03,357 --> 00:37:04,522
I'm just gonna stop paying you.
888
00:37:04,524 --> 00:37:05,889
You get paid once a week
from the game.
889
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:07,287
It doesn't seem fair.
890
00:37:07,289 --> 00:37:08,688
But I also have a job working
for you 24 hours...
891
00:37:08,690 --> 00:37:10,688
And if you didn't have a job
892
00:37:10,690 --> 00:37:12,855
you wouldn't have the game.
You understand what I'm saying?
893
00:37:12,857 --> 00:37:14,854
I understand each of the words
that you're saying but I don't...
894
00:37:14,856 --> 00:37:17,589
- Look!
- 24 hours a day, every day.
895
00:37:17,591 --> 00:37:19,021
But you're gonna stop paying me
to do that job
896
00:37:19,023 --> 00:37:21,256
because I'm making too much
money doing my second job?
897
00:37:21,258 --> 00:37:23,022
And if I say no,
I'll lose both jobs?
898
00:37:23,024 --> 00:37:24,255
Because it doesn't seem fair?
899
00:37:24,256 --> 00:37:26,355
Business is bad right now.
900
00:37:26,357 --> 00:37:27,758
Welcome to the real world.
901
00:37:29,691 --> 00:37:32,355
Alright, here it is.
Banks are loaning you money.
902
00:37:32,357 --> 00:37:33,689
And they shouldn't.
903
00:37:33,691 --> 00:37:35,288
You're a bad risk, they know it.
904
00:37:35,290 --> 00:37:36,755
So the debt service
on your loans
905
00:37:36,757 --> 00:37:39,189
is close to 20%,
which is crazy.
906
00:37:39,191 --> 00:37:41,189
Twenty percent is
barely survivable
907
00:37:41,191 --> 00:37:42,589
if it's a bridge loan.
908
00:37:42,591 --> 00:37:44,221
But, like for instance
909
00:37:44,223 --> 00:37:47,354
it's taken you 10 years
to build seven houses.
910
00:37:47,356 --> 00:37:49,321
All of which are worth
less than they were
911
00:37:49,323 --> 00:37:51,388
before you built them,
because the housing market
912
00:37:51,390 --> 00:37:53,555
is on a downward trajectory
for the first time
913
00:37:53,557 --> 00:37:54,722
in the history of houses.
914
00:37:54,724 --> 00:37:57,288
And that's why business
is doing bad.
915
00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:59,989
Not because you're paying me
$450 a week.
916
00:37:59,991 --> 00:38:01,287
You're a business savant?
917
00:38:01,289 --> 00:38:02,754
I've read every piece of paper
in your office.
918
00:38:02,756 --> 00:38:04,455
You're making thousands
in tips every week.
919
00:38:04,457 --> 00:38:05,988
Why do you care about $450?
920
00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:07,789
Because I don't want to pick up
your dry cleaning for free!
921
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:11,121
Well, you don't have
bargaining power here!
922
00:38:11,123 --> 00:38:13,691
You can refuse the pay cut
but you could lose the game.
923
00:38:15,723 --> 00:38:17,190
Cash me out, please.
924
00:38:18,890 --> 00:38:20,321
Molly :
I wasn't gonna wait for Dean
925
00:38:20,323 --> 00:38:21,521
to take the game away from me
926
00:38:21,523 --> 00:38:23,889
before I put a plan in place.
927
00:38:23,891 --> 00:38:25,454
The next morning,
I made appointments
928
00:38:25,456 --> 00:38:27,254
at the Four Seasons,
The Peninsula
929
00:38:27,256 --> 00:38:28,857
and the Beverly Hills Hotel.
930
00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:33,121
The suite was $5200 a night.
931
00:38:33,123 --> 00:38:34,789
I spent $17,000
932
00:38:34,791 --> 00:38:37,454
on a shuffle master that was
installed in the table.
933
00:38:37,456 --> 00:38:39,487
Faster, more reliable shuffles.
934
00:38:39,489 --> 00:38:41,022
Less downtime between hands.
935
00:38:41,024 --> 00:38:42,689
Food was brought in
from Mr. Chow
936
00:38:42,691 --> 00:38:45,089
and available to eat
on the side tables.
937
00:38:45,091 --> 00:38:46,422
There was Macallan 18
938
00:38:46,424 --> 00:38:48,422
Belvedere, 1942
939
00:38:48,424 --> 00:38:50,854
Remy Martin,
and a '88 Lafite Rothschild
940
00:38:50,856 --> 00:38:53,855
served by a bartender who'd
already memorized your drink.
941
00:38:53,857 --> 00:38:56,888
Cohibas and Monte Cristo
were in the humidor.
942
00:38:56,890 --> 00:38:58,654
A professional stylist
turned me
943
00:38:58,656 --> 00:39:00,488
into what my defense attorney
would later call
944
00:39:00,490 --> 00:39:03,022
"The Cinemax version
of myself."
945
00:39:03,024 --> 00:39:05,321
I spent almost everything
I had in preparation
946
00:39:05,323 --> 00:39:06,788
for the phone call
I knew was coming.
947
00:39:06,790 --> 00:39:08,257
(phone ringing)
948
00:39:12,923 --> 00:39:14,655
- Hello.
- I want you to listen to me.
949
00:39:14,657 --> 00:39:16,589
- 'Cause you need to hear this.
- Where are you?
950
00:39:16,591 --> 00:39:18,821
I need to tell you something
in plain English
951
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:20,388
and I need to know
that you understood it.
952
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:22,922
- Dean.
- You are unimportant.
953
00:39:22,924 --> 00:39:24,355
Do you hear me?
954
00:39:24,357 --> 00:39:26,422
And you are fired.
955
00:39:26,424 --> 00:39:27,721
The job, the game...
956
00:39:27,723 --> 00:39:29,721
- You're fired.
- Can I ask why?
957
00:39:29,723 --> 00:39:31,721
How many of my friends
are you sleeping with?
958
00:39:31,723 --> 00:39:33,021
I'm not sleeping
with any of 'em.
959
00:39:33,023 --> 00:39:34,488
That's not what I heard.
960
00:39:34,490 --> 00:39:37,121
Listen to me.
With a HAZMAT suit, I wouldn't...
961
00:39:37,123 --> 00:39:38,790
Can I give you some advice?
962
00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:41,421
Lose the bitchy air.
963
00:39:41,423 --> 00:39:43,722
Lose the superior air.
964
00:39:43,724 --> 00:39:45,354
And go to the office
and get your stuff
965
00:39:45,356 --> 00:39:47,190
and be out of there
before I show up.
966
00:39:48,056 --> 00:39:49,490
Hey, are you Molly?
967
00:39:50,157 --> 00:39:51,255
Yeah.
968
00:39:51,257 --> 00:39:52,655
I'm Leah, um...
969
00:39:52,657 --> 00:39:54,722
Dean asked me
to pack your personals.
970
00:39:54,724 --> 00:39:55,755
I appreciate it.
971
00:39:55,757 --> 00:39:57,755
He also asked me
to get the numbers
972
00:39:57,757 --> 00:40:01,120
of tonight's players
so I can confirm the list.
973
00:40:01,122 --> 00:40:02,922
Leah :
I'm really sorry.
974
00:40:02,924 --> 00:40:03,892
Don't be.
975
00:40:05,756 --> 00:40:07,254
My phone's in my car.
976
00:40:07,256 --> 00:40:08,488
Uh, I'll text you
all the numbers
977
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:10,120
you need when I get downstairs.
978
00:40:10,122 --> 00:40:12,555
I texted my replacement
a bunch of random numbers
979
00:40:12,557 --> 00:40:13,922
with 310 area codes.
980
00:40:13,924 --> 00:40:15,021
Then I sent a text
981
00:40:15,023 --> 00:40:16,321
to the players for tonight
982
00:40:16,323 --> 00:40:17,822
and told them
the game had been moved
983
00:40:17,824 --> 00:40:21,555
to the Four Seasons Hotel,
Suite 1401.
984
00:40:21,557 --> 00:40:24,588
- Hey, how you doing?
- Drink?
985
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:26,088
- Thank you very much.
- Do you a part...
986
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:27,321
Molly :
I'd love to.
987
00:40:27,323 --> 00:40:29,589
Yeah?
So this guy's producing it.
988
00:40:29,591 --> 00:40:31,121
You should, uh, come down.
989
00:40:31,123 --> 00:40:33,655
- Amazing.
- Yeah, it'll be fun.
990
00:40:33,657 --> 00:40:36,791
(singing in foreign language)
991
00:40:46,556 --> 00:40:48,724
Fellas, can I have your
attention for a moment?
992
00:40:50,823 --> 00:40:51,923
(music stops)
993
00:40:55,157 --> 00:40:56,324
Where's Dean?
994
00:40:58,022 --> 00:41:01,354
I'll be hosting a game in this
suite every Tuesday night.
995
00:41:01,356 --> 00:41:04,422
If you play tonight, you'll be
guaranteed a chair for a year.
996
00:41:04,424 --> 00:41:07,355
If you prefer to play
at the Cobra Lounge...
997
00:41:07,357 --> 00:41:09,491
there'll be no hard feelings.
998
00:41:15,356 --> 00:41:16,654
Let's play.
999
00:41:16,656 --> 00:41:18,221
Molly :
The game is mine now.
1000
00:41:18,223 --> 00:41:21,589
I incorporated and Molly Bloom
Event Planning was born.
1001
00:41:21,591 --> 00:41:24,554
I paid taxes and 1099'd
my employees.
1002
00:41:24,556 --> 00:41:26,955
I never became romantically
or sexually involved
1003
00:41:26,957 --> 00:41:28,321
with any of the players.
1004
00:41:28,323 --> 00:41:29,988
The game would have
fallen apart.
1005
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:32,821
This was back when I was
still making good decisions.
1006
00:41:32,823 --> 00:41:34,522
And I went to a lawyer
to make absolutely sure
1007
00:41:34,524 --> 00:41:36,321
all this was legal.
1008
00:41:36,323 --> 00:41:37,853
- Are you taking a rake?
- No.
1009
00:41:37,855 --> 00:41:39,722
Then you're not
breaking the law.
1010
00:41:39,724 --> 00:41:41,455
- But can I give you advice?
- Please.
1011
00:41:41,457 --> 00:41:42,955
There's a saying
in my business.
1012
00:41:42,957 --> 00:41:45,820
Don't break the law
when you're breaking the law.
1013
00:41:45,822 --> 00:41:48,155
- What do you mean?
- No drugs. No prostitutes.
1014
00:41:48,157 --> 00:41:49,554
No muscle to collect debts.
1015
00:41:49,556 --> 00:41:51,088
Oh, I don't do
anything like that.
1016
00:41:51,090 --> 00:41:53,121
But you just said
I wasn't breaking the law.
1017
00:41:53,123 --> 00:41:55,155
You wanna keep it that way
because you don't wanna
1018
00:41:55,157 --> 00:41:56,725
break the law when
you're breaking the law.
1019
00:41:57,922 --> 00:41:59,722
Am I breaking the law?
1020
00:41:59,724 --> 00:42:00,888
Not really.
1021
00:42:00,890 --> 00:42:02,988
We're able to find out
for sure, aren't we?
1022
00:42:02,990 --> 00:42:04,255
Laws are written down.
1023
00:42:04,257 --> 00:42:05,988
You're not taking
a percentage of the pot?
1024
00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:07,188
No.
1025
00:42:07,190 --> 00:42:09,755
You're running a square game.
1026
00:42:09,757 --> 00:42:12,055
Molly :
My game had a tricky ecosystem.
1027
00:42:12,057 --> 00:42:13,588
These guys could buy anything.
1028
00:42:13,590 --> 00:42:15,088
But here, in this room
1029
00:42:15,090 --> 00:42:16,688
you couldn't buy your win.
1030
00:42:16,690 --> 00:42:19,154
You couldn't buy me,
you couldn't buy the girls.
1031
00:42:19,156 --> 00:42:21,555
And you couldn't buy
a seat at the table.
1032
00:42:21,557 --> 00:42:24,188
There's nothing as sweet
as a win you have to work for.
1033
00:42:24,190 --> 00:42:27,955
And the wins and loses were
compelling, and they were real.
1034
00:42:27,957 --> 00:42:30,221
Of course, it helped that the
players were gambling addicts.
1035
00:42:30,223 --> 00:42:31,691
Can I see you for a second?
1036
00:42:37,557 --> 00:42:39,154
Molly :
Jay, you're famous.
1037
00:42:39,156 --> 00:42:41,187
You are an international
rock star.
1038
00:42:41,189 --> 00:42:43,221
Oh, I wasn't sure
you'd noticed.
1039
00:42:43,223 --> 00:42:44,821
You can't send
emails like that.
1040
00:42:44,823 --> 00:42:46,920
Well, it's not a federal
production, okay?
1041
00:42:46,922 --> 00:42:49,688
I just invited you to Cabo
for the weekend.
1042
00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:52,054
The next woman you send
an email like that to
1043
00:42:52,056 --> 00:42:53,155
is not gonna be me.
1044
00:42:53,157 --> 00:42:54,921
It's going to be someone else.
1045
00:42:54,923 --> 00:42:56,121
You're playing with fire.
1046
00:42:56,123 --> 00:42:57,887
I'm telling you that
I'm in love with you
1047
00:42:57,889 --> 00:43:00,387
and you are worried about me
getting blackmailed?
1048
00:43:00,389 --> 00:43:02,521
Oh, my, that just makes me
more into you.
1049
00:43:02,523 --> 00:43:05,255
Lemon head. They won't need
to blackmail you.
1050
00:43:05,257 --> 00:43:07,687
They can get just as
much money from TMZ.
1051
00:43:07,689 --> 00:43:09,788
And TMZ will give them
what they really want.
1052
00:43:09,790 --> 00:43:11,421
Tell me the truth.
Was mine the first love letter
1053
00:43:11,423 --> 00:43:12,455
you've gotten from a player?
1054
00:43:12,457 --> 00:43:13,920
It was the seventh.
1055
00:43:13,922 --> 00:43:15,354
All digitally transmitted.
1056
00:43:15,356 --> 00:43:17,187
You are begging for
your life to be turned
1057
00:43:17,189 --> 00:43:19,221
into a very public hell.
1058
00:43:19,223 --> 00:43:20,588
So that's a no on Cabo?
1059
00:43:20,590 --> 00:43:22,387
Why don't you just give your
wife and kids a break
1060
00:43:22,389 --> 00:43:23,787
and run 'em over with a limo?
1061
00:43:23,789 --> 00:43:25,720
I love the way that
you talk to me.
1062
00:43:25,722 --> 00:43:26,689
Oh, God.
1063
00:43:32,556 --> 00:43:34,387
- I've had a thought.
- Yeah?
1064
00:43:34,389 --> 00:43:35,623
Raise the stakes.
1065
00:43:38,523 --> 00:43:39,524
To what?
1066
00:43:40,723 --> 00:43:43,724
50k buy-in. Blinds are 250/500.
1067
00:43:46,855 --> 00:43:49,190
- That's a 500 percent hike.
- Yeah.
1068
00:43:50,556 --> 00:43:51,955
I don't think it's a good idea.
1069
00:43:51,957 --> 00:43:53,623
Could you guys give me
the room for a second?
1070
00:43:55,723 --> 00:43:56,689
Sure.
1071
00:44:01,856 --> 00:44:03,355
The players that are losing
a $100,000 a week
1072
00:44:03,357 --> 00:44:04,753
are gonna be losing
half a million.
1073
00:44:04,755 --> 00:44:06,287
The players winning
a $100,000 a week...
1074
00:44:06,289 --> 00:44:08,120
Will have no one left
to play with.
1075
00:44:08,122 --> 00:44:10,487
Players are gonna get hurt,
others are gonna get killed.
1076
00:44:10,489 --> 00:44:12,487
And some will drop out.
It's not sustainable.
1077
00:44:12,489 --> 00:44:13,656
We'll lose the game.
1078
00:44:15,089 --> 00:44:16,454
Find new players.
1079
00:44:16,456 --> 00:44:18,920
Molly :
He meant "Find new fish."
1080
00:44:18,922 --> 00:44:20,088
I went recruiting again.
1081
00:44:20,090 --> 00:44:21,955
First up was Donnie Silverman.
1082
00:44:21,957 --> 00:44:24,287
Donnie won the World Series
of Poker last year
1083
00:44:24,289 --> 00:44:26,254
and got in touch with me
through one of the players.
1084
00:44:26,256 --> 00:44:27,821
Are you fucking nuts?
1085
00:44:27,823 --> 00:44:30,087
Donnie Silverman won
the World Series of Poker.
1086
00:44:30,089 --> 00:44:31,521
You can watch it online.
1087
00:44:31,522 --> 00:44:33,920
He took 11 hands
at the final table.
1088
00:44:33,922 --> 00:44:36,387
But he had the nuts
on eight of them.
1089
00:44:36,389 --> 00:44:38,654
And three of those...
1090
00:44:38,656 --> 00:44:41,087
Three were two outers with
four players still in the hand.
1091
00:44:41,089 --> 00:44:42,388
He ran hot.
1092
00:44:42,390 --> 00:44:44,554
He doesn't lock his chips down,
he's reckless.
1093
00:44:44,556 --> 00:44:47,987
He gives tons of action
and he's got $12 million.
1094
00:44:47,989 --> 00:44:50,923
(instrumental music)
1095
00:44:52,756 --> 00:44:55,590
You know,
I don't like playing poker.
1096
00:44:56,257 --> 00:44:57,388
Why do you play?
1097
00:44:57,390 --> 00:44:59,455
I like destroying lives.
1098
00:44:59,457 --> 00:45:00,657
Give him a chair.
1099
00:45:02,189 --> 00:45:05,387
Molly : The next recruit
was Brad Marion.
1100
00:45:05,389 --> 00:45:06,988
Who everyone called Bad Brad
1101
00:45:06,990 --> 00:45:10,787
because he was uniquely
terrible at this game.
1102
00:45:10,789 --> 00:45:13,220
If there was a worse
player in the world
1103
00:45:13,222 --> 00:45:15,653
Brad would still find a way
to lose to him.
1104
00:45:15,655 --> 00:45:17,653
Sorry, I don't have a chair,
but you're welcome to a drink.
1105
00:45:17,655 --> 00:45:19,720
No, I just came to
introduce you to, uh, Brad...
1106
00:45:19,722 --> 00:45:21,620
male #4 :
I'm all in. Calling it.
1107
00:45:21,622 --> 00:45:23,453
- Yeah, I call.
- Sorry.
1108
00:45:23,455 --> 00:45:25,088
I just wanted to introduce
you to Brad Marion.
1109
00:45:25,090 --> 00:45:26,820
- He wants to play.
- Give me his information.
1110
00:45:26,822 --> 00:45:28,787
- I'll check him out.
- Derek's gonna vouch for him.
1111
00:45:28,789 --> 00:45:30,955
"Derek's gonna vouch for him"
meant Derek would cover
1112
00:45:30,957 --> 00:45:34,657
any losses if Brad didn't pay,
up to any amount.
1113
00:45:37,357 --> 00:45:39,154
- Hi, I'm Molly Bloom.
- Brad Marion.
1114
00:45:39,156 --> 00:45:40,688
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
1115
00:45:40,690 --> 00:45:42,954
Molly :
But he could pay and had to.
1116
00:45:42,956 --> 00:45:45,853
Because he embraced the fallacy
of being pot committed.
1117
00:45:45,855 --> 00:45:47,254
I'm all in.
1118
00:45:47,256 --> 00:45:48,821
Molly :
You've already invested so much
1119
00:45:48,823 --> 00:45:52,322
you might as well see it
through to the end.
1120
00:45:52,324 --> 00:45:54,853
Bad Brad had raised
$700 million
1121
00:45:54,855 --> 00:45:57,720
for a fund that traded
oil futures and every week
1122
00:45:57,722 --> 00:46:00,721
he came to the game,
lost a $100,000 and tipped me
1123
00:46:00,723 --> 00:46:03,721
five thousand so he could
play the next week.
1124
00:46:03,723 --> 00:46:05,955
He wasn't getting any better...
1125
00:46:05,957 --> 00:46:07,690
and the guys were
feasting on him.
1126
00:46:11,789 --> 00:46:13,854
Can I get another 50?
1127
00:46:13,856 --> 00:46:16,191
- Can we talk for a second?
- Sure.
1128
00:46:18,256 --> 00:46:19,587
Brad, this game might not
be for you.
1129
00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:21,788
I know I'm no card shark.
1130
00:46:21,790 --> 00:46:23,258
No, you're not.
1131
00:46:25,690 --> 00:46:27,853
Here are your losses
after ten weeks.
1132
00:46:27,855 --> 00:46:30,486
And you've won... never.
1133
00:46:30,488 --> 00:46:32,853
It's actually
a statistical anomaly.
1134
00:46:32,855 --> 00:46:34,323
Yeah. I know.
1135
00:46:35,523 --> 00:46:36,587
I like playing with the guys.
1136
00:46:36,589 --> 00:46:38,320
I don't have that many friends.
1137
00:46:38,322 --> 00:46:40,353
Don't take my seat away.
1138
00:46:40,355 --> 00:46:41,654
I can tip you more.
1139
00:46:41,656 --> 00:46:43,188
No.
1140
00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:44,588
Your tips are very generous.
1141
00:46:44,590 --> 00:46:46,620
How about I-I get you
some books.
1142
00:46:46,622 --> 00:46:49,220
Or even, even a pro
to give you lessons?
1143
00:46:49,222 --> 00:46:51,787
Yeah, maybe.
1144
00:46:51,789 --> 00:46:54,386
- Yeah, let me think about it.
- Okay.
1145
00:46:54,388 --> 00:46:57,255
Molly : Turned out Bad Brad
knew what he was doing.
1146
00:46:57,257 --> 00:46:58,753
He was getting customers.
1147
00:46:58,755 --> 00:47:00,521
He'd drop his
100K at the game
1148
00:47:00,523 --> 00:47:02,588
and pick up four million
for his hedge fund.
1149
00:47:02,590 --> 00:47:04,354
- Tell him what's smart...
- Not me.
1150
00:47:04,356 --> 00:47:06,321
Molly :
More on that later, but first
1151
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:07,621
Harlan Eustice.
1152
00:47:07,623 --> 00:47:08,955
Player X said he met Harlan
1153
00:47:08,957 --> 00:47:10,321
at the Commerce Casino
1154
00:47:10,323 --> 00:47:11,787
and that he'd be
good for the game.
1155
00:47:11,789 --> 00:47:13,687
But I wasn't seeing
what he was seeing.
1156
00:47:13,689 --> 00:47:17,553
He played tight, folding after
the hole cards 64% of the time.
1157
00:47:17,555 --> 00:47:19,587
It wasn't clear
where his money came from.
1158
00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:21,621
He produced backyard
wrestling videos
1159
00:47:21,623 --> 00:47:23,520
and other low-rent productions.
1160
00:47:23,522 --> 00:47:24,821
But worst of all
1161
00:47:24,823 --> 00:47:27,420
Harlan Eustice
was a good card player.
1162
00:47:27,422 --> 00:47:30,553
Why would Player X want someone
at the game who could beat him?
1163
00:47:30,555 --> 00:47:33,254
I learned the answer
to that one the hard way.
1164
00:47:33,256 --> 00:47:35,620
- How was your flight?
- Just fine.
1165
00:47:35,622 --> 00:47:37,821
How are you paying for tickets
between L.A. and New York?
1166
00:47:37,823 --> 00:47:39,853
I had two million points
left on my Amex.
1167
00:47:39,855 --> 00:47:41,453
They took the card,
but let me keep the points.
1168
00:47:41,455 --> 00:47:42,653
Which I thought
was nice of them.
1169
00:47:42,655 --> 00:47:44,955
- You had meetings.
- Hmm?
1170
00:47:44,957 --> 00:47:47,055
You had meetings in L.A.
about your book and life rights.
1171
00:47:47,057 --> 00:47:48,286
- I did.
- Was there any interest?
1172
00:47:48,288 --> 00:47:49,787
A company that owns
four thousand
1173
00:47:49,789 --> 00:47:50,687
video poker machines
1174
00:47:50,689 --> 00:47:52,386
wants to put my face on them.
1175
00:47:52,388 --> 00:47:54,554
Anything else?
1176
00:47:54,556 --> 00:47:56,353
"Treat Magazine"
made a generous offer.
1177
00:47:56,355 --> 00:47:57,687
- "Treat?"
- It's a new magazine.
1178
00:47:57,689 --> 00:47:59,487
For the high-end
photography enthusiast.
1179
00:47:59,489 --> 00:48:01,587
- They want you to pose naked.
- I'd be the April treat.
1180
00:48:01,589 --> 00:48:03,353
I meant interest in your book.
1181
00:48:03,355 --> 00:48:05,253
Ah, yeah.
1182
00:48:05,255 --> 00:48:08,187
- Any offers?
- A few, I guess.
1183
00:48:08,189 --> 00:48:10,219
Couple...
1184
00:48:10,221 --> 00:48:11,254
Five.
1185
00:48:11,256 --> 00:48:12,621
- Really?
- Yeah.
1186
00:48:12,623 --> 00:48:14,219
- And...
- I passed.
1187
00:48:14,221 --> 00:48:15,620
You're destitute
and you passed on
1188
00:48:15,622 --> 00:48:17,219
five offers to turn
your book into a movie.
1189
00:48:17,221 --> 00:48:18,253
You will be paid, Charlie.
1190
00:48:18,255 --> 00:48:19,420
I'm just curious as to why
1191
00:48:19,422 --> 00:48:20,588
you passed on
what would appear to be
1192
00:48:20,590 --> 00:48:22,521
the only way out you have.
1193
00:48:22,523 --> 00:48:23,721
Creative differences.
1194
00:48:23,723 --> 00:48:25,521
- Okay.
- Should we start?
1195
00:48:25,523 --> 00:48:27,621
You know, I am gonna
figure you out.
1196
00:48:27,623 --> 00:48:28,821
Well, let me know
what you find.
1197
00:48:28,823 --> 00:48:32,219
You see this?
This is discovery.
1198
00:48:32,221 --> 00:48:34,621
Let's see what we discovered.
1199
00:48:34,623 --> 00:48:37,420
Over here we have
Peter Druzhinsky
1200
00:48:37,422 --> 00:48:40,153
Peter Antonovich
and Peter Slobo.
1201
00:48:40,155 --> 00:48:41,353
The three Petes.
1202
00:48:41,355 --> 00:48:42,486
Now the three Petes run a chain
1203
00:48:42,488 --> 00:48:43,954
of corrupt medical clinics
1204
00:48:43,956 --> 00:48:46,087
and have been committing
insurance fraud
1205
00:48:46,089 --> 00:48:49,320
wire fraud and mail fraud
on an epic scale.
1206
00:48:49,322 --> 00:48:50,554
Now, over here we have
1207
00:48:50,556 --> 00:48:53,720
the Ragnyada-Gershen
Organization.
1208
00:48:53,722 --> 00:48:55,853
They're a worldwide
bookmaking operation
1209
00:48:55,855 --> 00:48:58,253
handling hundreds of millions
of dollars a year
1210
00:48:58,255 --> 00:48:59,853
in illegal sports betting.
1211
00:48:59,855 --> 00:49:01,021
And over here, we have
1212
00:49:01,023 --> 00:49:03,688
the Alexander-Habib
Organization.
1213
00:49:03,690 --> 00:49:06,386
This is also an illegal
sports betting organization.
1214
00:49:06,388 --> 00:49:09,454
But this one,
financed by an art gallery
1215
00:49:09,456 --> 00:49:12,887
owned by Shillel Habib,
who everyone calls...
1216
00:49:12,889 --> 00:49:14,356
Shelly.
1217
00:49:18,088 --> 00:49:22,254
This is the Russian Mafia
and the three are tied together
1218
00:49:22,256 --> 00:49:25,354
in the indictment through...
1219
00:49:25,356 --> 00:49:26,524
a poker game.
1220
00:49:27,655 --> 00:49:29,588
- Were they tapping my phones?
- No.
1221
00:49:29,590 --> 00:49:30,621
Molly :
Thank God.
1222
00:49:30,623 --> 00:49:31,653
They were tapping the phones
1223
00:49:31,655 --> 00:49:32,954
of everyone you talked to.
1224
00:49:32,956 --> 00:49:34,320
Okay.
1225
00:49:34,322 --> 00:49:36,086
They got you confirming
that you ran raked games
1226
00:49:36,088 --> 00:49:38,720
at the Plaza Hotel and various
locations in New York.
1227
00:49:38,722 --> 00:49:41,019
They've also got
a confidential informant
1228
00:49:41,021 --> 00:49:43,753
confirming that you ran
raked games at the Plaza Hotel
1229
00:49:43,755 --> 00:49:45,521
and various locations
in New York.
1230
00:49:45,523 --> 00:49:49,220
You were in violation of 1955,
which is a part of the U.S. Code
1231
00:49:49,222 --> 00:49:52,353
that makes it illegal to run
an illegal gambling business.
1232
00:49:52,355 --> 00:49:53,853
You know what you did?
1233
00:49:53,855 --> 00:49:56,186
You finished writing a book
before the good part happened.
1234
00:49:56,188 --> 00:49:58,821
You really get a kick out
of yourself, don't you?
1235
00:49:58,823 --> 00:50:00,821
You know,
I don't like this picture.
1236
00:50:00,823 --> 00:50:02,453
- Thank you.
- You're like the cat...
1237
00:50:02,455 --> 00:50:03,621
That ate the canary
and then told
1238
00:50:03,623 --> 00:50:05,019
the canary's
parents about it.
1239
00:50:05,021 --> 00:50:06,286
It's the picture
the publisher wanted
1240
00:50:06,288 --> 00:50:07,321
and I didn't get a vote.
1241
00:50:07,323 --> 00:50:08,721
I liked the book, good story.
1242
00:50:08,723 --> 00:50:10,086
- Well told.
- Thank you.
1243
00:50:10,088 --> 00:50:11,354
I need you to tell
it again, though.
1244
00:50:11,356 --> 00:50:12,487
From the beginning,
and this time
1245
00:50:12,489 --> 00:50:14,153
without skipping over
the Russians.
1246
00:50:14,155 --> 00:50:15,487
Jaffey : Would you
like a glass of water?
1247
00:50:15,489 --> 00:50:17,322
I'd like a glass of Bourbon.
1248
00:50:20,222 --> 00:50:22,286
- One more thing.
- Yeah?
1249
00:50:22,288 --> 00:50:23,653
I need your hard drives.
1250
00:50:23,655 --> 00:50:25,220
- Going back how far?
- What do you mean?
1251
00:50:25,222 --> 00:50:28,020
Well, I kept my hard drives
when I'd buy a new laptop.
1252
00:50:28,022 --> 00:50:29,187
- You're kidding.
- No.
1253
00:50:29,189 --> 00:50:30,487
It had a record of who owed what
1254
00:50:30,489 --> 00:50:31,520
and spreadsheets on the players.
1255
00:50:31,522 --> 00:50:32,653
It has more than that.
1256
00:50:32,655 --> 00:50:34,053
Every time you charge your phone
1257
00:50:34,055 --> 00:50:35,621
by plugging it into the computer
1258
00:50:35,623 --> 00:50:37,054
the computer takes a record
1259
00:50:37,056 --> 00:50:38,920
of all your text messages
and emails.
1260
00:50:38,922 --> 00:50:41,387
My laptop has a record
of all text messages and emails
1261
00:50:41,389 --> 00:50:42,887
received years ago on phones
1262
00:50:42,889 --> 00:50:44,587
that have been smashed
with an aluminum bat?
1263
00:50:44,589 --> 00:50:47,653
I wanna run a forensic imaging
on your hard drives.
1264
00:50:47,655 --> 00:50:49,754
Oh, no. Thanks anyway, but I'll
be destroying those hard drives.
1265
00:50:49,756 --> 00:50:51,486
No, you can't do that,
they're evidence.
1266
00:50:51,488 --> 00:50:52,920
I'm going to blow them up,
I am literally gonna use
1267
00:50:52,922 --> 00:50:54,521
explosives and scatter
the remains in the sea.
1268
00:50:54,523 --> 00:50:56,386
Except you told me they exist.
1269
00:50:56,388 --> 00:50:57,521
You're gonna have
to pretend I didn't tell you.
1270
00:50:57,523 --> 00:50:58,987
- Can't do that.
- Yes, you can.
1271
00:50:58,989 --> 00:51:00,087
You wanted a lawyer that
1272
00:51:00,089 --> 00:51:01,421
wasn't even a little bit shady.
1273
00:51:01,423 --> 00:51:02,587
New information
has come to light.
1274
00:51:02,589 --> 00:51:03,620
- I see that was stupid.
- Molly.
1275
00:51:03,622 --> 00:51:04,954
There are no hard drives.
1276
00:51:04,956 --> 00:51:06,654
If you destroy evidence
and obstruct justice
1277
00:51:06,656 --> 00:51:08,487
on top of the charges
already brought against you
1278
00:51:08,489 --> 00:51:11,187
in this case, you will be,
I promise, incarcerated.
1279
00:51:11,189 --> 00:51:13,621
You don't understand
what's in those text messages.
1280
00:51:13,623 --> 00:51:15,554
I understand you've had
boyfriends and there'll be
1281
00:51:15,556 --> 00:51:17,588
some exchanges that are a little
bit, you know, embarrassing...
1282
00:51:17,590 --> 00:51:20,321
I don't care about embarrassing
text messages from boyfriends
1283
00:51:20,323 --> 00:51:22,087
as there is not left
the smallest corner
1284
00:51:22,089 --> 00:51:23,421
of my private life
1285
00:51:23,423 --> 00:51:25,720
that isn't available
for public scrutiny.
1286
00:51:25,722 --> 00:51:28,521
There are messages that
would destroy other lives.
1287
00:51:28,523 --> 00:51:30,287
There are messages
that would end careers
1288
00:51:30,289 --> 00:51:31,788
and obliterate families.
1289
00:51:31,790 --> 00:51:34,521
If those the text messages
were to be made public...
1290
00:51:34,523 --> 00:51:35,919
- They won't be.
- If they were...
1291
00:51:35,921 --> 00:51:38,254
- They won't be.
- It would be catastrophic.
1292
00:51:38,256 --> 00:51:39,688
- I'm a lawyer, I'm legally...
- No.
1293
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:41,886
Listen to me,
I am legally prohibited
1294
00:51:41,888 --> 00:51:42,887
from disclosing anything...
1295
00:51:42,889 --> 00:51:44,320
Someone leaked
my last deposition
1296
00:51:44,322 --> 00:51:45,920
to the National Enquirer,
Charlie.
1297
00:51:45,922 --> 00:51:47,520
- Butterball?
- My last lawyer's name...
1298
00:51:47,522 --> 00:51:49,520
Was Butterman
and he was one of five people
1299
00:51:49,522 --> 00:51:51,353
in the room besides me.
1300
00:51:51,355 --> 00:51:52,886
But the information
in that deposition
1301
00:51:52,888 --> 00:51:55,387
will be nothing compared
to the consequences
1302
00:51:55,389 --> 00:51:56,920
of those text messages...
1303
00:51:56,922 --> 00:51:59,487
Ah! I just got it.
1304
00:51:59,489 --> 00:52:00,621
Showing up everywhere.
1305
00:52:00,623 --> 00:52:02,219
I couldn't figure out why you
1306
00:52:02,221 --> 00:52:04,054
named some people
but not others.
1307
00:52:04,056 --> 00:52:05,920
I thought that maybe
some people paid you.
1308
00:52:05,922 --> 00:52:07,787
You were wrong.
But doesn't matter.
1309
00:52:07,789 --> 00:52:09,919
No, the only people you named
in that book were the ones
1310
00:52:09,921 --> 00:52:13,253
that were already named in
the Bad Brad Marion deposition.
1311
00:52:13,255 --> 00:52:14,620
- Which you think...
- I know.
1312
00:52:14,622 --> 00:52:15,886
- Somebody leaked it.
- Sold it.
1313
00:52:15,888 --> 00:52:17,220
- To the tabloids.
- Yes.
1314
00:52:17,222 --> 00:52:18,620
- Maybe even Butterbean.
- Butterman.
1315
00:52:18,622 --> 00:52:19,953
But I don't know who it was.
1316
00:52:19,955 --> 00:52:21,220
I watched Jenny McCarthy
1317
00:52:21,222 --> 00:52:22,520
beat you up
for naming the players.
1318
00:52:22,522 --> 00:52:23,620
Why didn't you just say,
"Hey, those names
1319
00:52:23,622 --> 00:52:25,287
are already public record?"
1320
00:52:25,289 --> 00:52:28,220
I don't know. 'Cause I wasn't
on "The View" under subpoena.
1321
00:52:28,222 --> 00:52:30,320
Can we please get back
to the emails and texts?
1322
00:52:30,322 --> 00:52:31,919
Is that why you have
creative differences
1323
00:52:31,921 --> 00:52:32,954
with the Hollywood offers?
1324
00:52:32,956 --> 00:52:34,220
Because they want information
1325
00:52:34,222 --> 00:52:35,387
and you won't give them.
1326
00:52:35,389 --> 00:52:36,421
- I don't know you.
- Hm.
1327
00:52:36,423 --> 00:52:37,454
If what happened last time
1328
00:52:37,456 --> 00:52:38,852
were to happen this time
1329
00:52:38,854 --> 00:52:41,120
it would make
what happened last time...
1330
00:52:41,122 --> 00:52:42,420
What is this for?
1331
00:52:42,422 --> 00:52:44,286
It's got every text message
and email
1332
00:52:44,288 --> 00:52:46,621
I sent in the last year
as well as a variety
1333
00:52:46,623 --> 00:52:48,653
of incriminating evidence
about my clients.
1334
00:52:48,655 --> 00:52:50,254
Now if anything
of yours get leaked
1335
00:52:50,256 --> 00:52:52,653
you can sell my phone
to the highest bidder
1336
00:52:52,655 --> 00:52:55,320
and I'll lose my job
and get disbarred.
1337
00:52:55,322 --> 00:52:57,186
So in order to demonstrate
the sanctity
1338
00:52:57,188 --> 00:52:59,253
of your attorney-client
confidentiality
1339
00:52:59,255 --> 00:53:01,254
you're betraying
the confidentiality
1340
00:53:01,256 --> 00:53:02,457
of all your other clients?
1341
00:53:03,721 --> 00:53:06,054
I know you're not
gonna look at it.
1342
00:53:06,056 --> 00:53:07,820
How do you know?
1343
00:53:07,822 --> 00:53:08,823
I don't know.
1344
00:53:15,121 --> 00:53:16,820
I'll fly home to Colorado...
1345
00:53:16,822 --> 00:53:18,722
and be back the next day
with the hard drives.
1346
00:53:21,289 --> 00:53:22,752
Molly :
Harlan Eustice was excited
1347
00:53:22,754 --> 00:53:24,719
about the surprise
40th birthday party
1348
00:53:24,721 --> 00:53:27,020
he was throwing for
his wife in 24 hours.
1349
00:53:27,022 --> 00:53:29,520
I rented out the whole
courtyard of the Buffalo Club.
1350
00:53:29,522 --> 00:53:31,253
It'll be about a hundred people.
1351
00:53:31,255 --> 00:53:33,953
Kumamoto oysters,
snow crab, lobsters.
1352
00:53:33,955 --> 00:53:36,487
Molly : He wasn't taking off
menu items to show off.
1353
00:53:36,489 --> 00:53:38,253
He was genuinely excited
about the party
1354
00:53:38,255 --> 00:53:39,486
he was giving his wife.
1355
00:53:39,488 --> 00:53:40,653
She doesn't know
anything about it.
1356
00:53:40,655 --> 00:53:41,686
She thinks we're having dinner
1357
00:53:41,688 --> 00:53:44,354
with her brother and his wife.
1358
00:53:44,356 --> 00:53:45,852
Molly :
I liked Harlan.
1359
00:53:45,854 --> 00:53:48,354
But nobody else liked him
except Player X.
1360
00:53:48,356 --> 00:53:50,120
- He played tight.
- Fold
1361
00:53:50,122 --> 00:53:51,653
Didn't give a lot of action
1362
00:53:51,655 --> 00:53:53,454
and always got
his money in good.
1363
00:53:53,456 --> 00:53:55,287
Which means he was
running the odds.
1364
00:53:55,289 --> 00:53:57,086
- Five thousand to call.
- No.
1365
00:53:57,088 --> 00:53:59,619
Molly : In other words,
he was playing poker.
1366
00:53:59,621 --> 00:54:01,356
And the others were gambling.
1367
00:54:04,021 --> 00:54:05,256
And he won.
1368
00:54:06,523 --> 00:54:09,020
By midnight, Harlan had
tripled his original
1369
00:54:09,022 --> 00:54:11,019
fifty thousand dollar buy-in.
1370
00:54:11,021 --> 00:54:14,087
But everything came off
the rails with one hand.
1371
00:54:14,089 --> 00:54:15,454
And that's how it happens.
1372
00:54:15,456 --> 00:54:17,454
That's how you go full-tilt.
1373
00:54:17,456 --> 00:54:19,753
Harlan, the best player
at the table
1374
00:54:19,755 --> 00:54:22,553
the best player at most
tables was about to get
1375
00:54:22,555 --> 00:54:25,386
bluffed off the win by,
of all people...
1376
00:54:25,388 --> 00:54:28,086
Bad Brad. How?
1377
00:54:28,088 --> 00:54:30,786
Because Harlan had never
played with Brad before
1378
00:54:30,788 --> 00:54:34,620
and didn't know yet
that Brad was bad.
1379
00:54:34,622 --> 00:54:38,020
Harlan's got a boat.
9's full.
1380
00:54:38,022 --> 00:54:39,485
Brad's got nothing.
1381
00:54:39,487 --> 00:54:41,053
But his pre-flop
betting made it look
1382
00:54:41,055 --> 00:54:43,619
entirely accidently,
like there was
1383
00:54:43,621 --> 00:54:44,886
a chance he had pocket kings.
1384
00:54:44,888 --> 00:54:46,086
Twenty thousand.
1385
00:54:46,088 --> 00:54:47,420
Molly :
Which if true
1386
00:54:47,422 --> 00:54:50,087
would give him
the better full house.
1387
00:54:50,089 --> 00:54:52,986
Brad's counting off $20,000,
which means he's going to call
1388
00:54:52,988 --> 00:54:55,853
and Harlan knows that if
Brad's gonna call and not raise
1389
00:54:55,855 --> 00:54:57,519
it means he didn't
have the boat.
1390
00:54:57,521 --> 00:54:59,154
And he's betting
a high two pair.
1391
00:54:59,156 --> 00:55:01,485
Probably kings and queens.
1392
00:55:01,487 --> 00:55:03,286
But then instead
of calling the bet
1393
00:55:03,288 --> 00:55:05,653
Brad pushes $72,000
into the pot.
1394
00:55:05,655 --> 00:55:06,688
I'm all in.
1395
00:55:07,888 --> 00:55:09,652
Molly :
Harlan looks at Brad.
1396
00:55:09,654 --> 00:55:11,553
Every tell Harlan knows about
1397
00:55:11,555 --> 00:55:14,519
carotid artery pumping,
stiff hands...
1398
00:55:14,521 --> 00:55:16,553
Brad's doing the opposite.
1399
00:55:16,555 --> 00:55:18,486
Brad's betting represented
a huge hand
1400
00:55:18,488 --> 00:55:19,920
by calling on the flop
1401
00:55:19,922 --> 00:55:22,253
check raising the turn
and bombing the river.
1402
00:55:22,255 --> 00:55:23,753
Of course, Harlan didn't know
1403
00:55:23,755 --> 00:55:26,519
that Brad didn't know
what any of that meant.
1404
00:55:26,521 --> 00:55:29,054
So Harlan, always
a good sport said...
1405
00:55:29,056 --> 00:55:31,054
Nice bet. I'm laying this down.
1406
00:55:31,056 --> 00:55:35,354
Molly : As he tossed in what he
didn't realize was the winning hand
1407
00:55:35,356 --> 00:55:37,120
Brad tosses in his cards too
1408
00:55:37,122 --> 00:55:39,353
and one of them flips
over and Harlan sees...
1409
00:55:39,355 --> 00:55:42,453
You didn't have pocket kings?
1410
00:55:42,455 --> 00:55:43,486
I didn't have any kings
1411
00:55:43,488 --> 00:55:45,687
except the one in the middle.
1412
00:55:45,689 --> 00:55:48,820
- You had two pair?
- I had one pair.
1413
00:55:48,822 --> 00:55:50,223
The nines in the middle.
1414
00:55:58,721 --> 00:55:59,722
Thank you.
1415
00:56:02,055 --> 00:56:04,120
Molly : It wasn't even that
it was that much money.
1416
00:56:04,122 --> 00:56:07,253
Harlan only lost
about $40,000 on the hand.
1417
00:56:07,255 --> 00:56:08,686
But a circuit breaker blew
1418
00:56:08,688 --> 00:56:10,887
and Harlan was
out for blood now.
1419
00:56:10,889 --> 00:56:12,986
Everyone's.
1420
00:56:12,988 --> 00:56:15,385
Molly : We have a
$112,000 on the table.
1421
00:56:15,387 --> 00:56:17,020
You want another 50?
1422
00:56:17,022 --> 00:56:18,319
Give me another 100, please.
1423
00:56:18,321 --> 00:56:21,320
(upbeat music)
1424
00:56:21,322 --> 00:56:23,253
Sign here for a 100,000.
1425
00:56:23,255 --> 00:56:26,154
Molly : By 5 a.m., Harlan
was down half a million.
1426
00:56:26,156 --> 00:56:28,286
He'd abandoned everything
he knew about poker
1427
00:56:28,288 --> 00:56:29,752
and was playing
like a frat kid
1428
00:56:29,754 --> 00:56:32,388
swinging for a home run
on every hand.
1429
00:56:34,589 --> 00:56:37,020
- Another 100 please.
- Hey, bud...
1430
00:56:37,022 --> 00:56:38,823
Molly, please. Let's go.
1431
00:56:40,487 --> 00:56:41,956
Molly :
Sign here for a 100.
1432
00:56:51,455 --> 00:56:53,954
Molly : Text messages were going
out letting everyone know
1433
00:56:53,956 --> 00:56:55,452
Harlan was bleeding.
1434
00:56:55,454 --> 00:56:56,520
Guys were coming by to play
1435
00:56:56,522 --> 00:56:58,086
for a couple hours before work.
1436
00:56:58,088 --> 00:57:00,086
They'd been losing
to him for months.
1437
00:57:00,088 --> 00:57:02,452
Everyone wanted a check
from Harlan Eustice.
1438
00:57:02,454 --> 00:57:03,653
If you go home now you can have
1439
00:57:03,655 --> 00:57:06,053
a few hours sleep
before Sheila's party.
1440
00:57:06,055 --> 00:57:07,222
Soon.
1441
00:57:08,755 --> 00:57:10,319
Come talk to me.
1442
00:57:10,321 --> 00:57:12,455
Hi, guys.
Help yourself to some coffee.
1443
00:57:17,156 --> 00:57:18,987
You're on tilt.
1444
00:57:18,989 --> 00:57:20,320
Everybody knows it.
1445
00:57:20,322 --> 00:57:21,386
You're playing
without the weapons
1446
00:57:21,388 --> 00:57:22,589
you need to win.
1447
00:57:23,354 --> 00:57:24,556
You're right.
1448
00:57:25,455 --> 00:57:26,689
Alright, thank you.
1449
00:57:27,455 --> 00:57:29,255
Just give me $500,000.
1450
00:57:30,988 --> 00:57:32,553
I just gotta get back to even.
1451
00:57:32,555 --> 00:57:33,987
Molly :
That should be the second line
1452
00:57:33,989 --> 00:57:35,686
of every gambler's obit.
1453
00:57:35,688 --> 00:57:39,385
Mr. Feldstein died while
trying to get back to even.
1454
00:57:39,387 --> 00:57:40,552
Harlan never did.
1455
00:57:40,554 --> 00:57:41,819
And he never got to his wife's
1456
00:57:41,821 --> 00:57:43,054
birthday party.
1457
00:57:43,056 --> 00:57:45,652
She filed for divorce
two days later.
1458
00:57:45,654 --> 00:57:47,920
There was one last punch coming
1459
00:57:47,922 --> 00:57:49,923
that would put Harlan
on the floor for good.
1460
00:57:51,721 --> 00:57:53,954
Harlan was heads up against
a guy named Frederick
1461
00:57:53,956 --> 00:57:55,656
who was Austrian royalty.
1462
00:57:57,689 --> 00:57:58,552
Call.
1463
00:57:58,554 --> 00:58:00,353
Harlan had pocket queens.
1464
00:58:00,355 --> 00:58:02,720
His Excellency had ace king.
1465
00:58:02,722 --> 00:58:05,920
They were both in 65K pre-flop.
1466
00:58:05,922 --> 00:58:07,386
Flops queen seven-seven.
1467
00:58:07,388 --> 00:58:08,953
Harlan has a full house again.
1468
00:58:08,955 --> 00:58:10,687
Queens full of sevens.
1469
00:58:10,689 --> 00:58:13,285
With three rounds of betting
in front of him...
1470
00:58:13,287 --> 00:58:14,922
the Count has nothing.
1471
00:58:18,355 --> 00:58:20,719
- All in.
- And the Count goes all in.
1472
00:58:20,721 --> 00:58:22,119
He wants Harlan
to think he's got
1473
00:58:22,121 --> 00:58:23,319
two more sevens under there.
1474
00:58:23,321 --> 00:58:24,954
- Call.
- "Nope," says Harlan.
1475
00:58:24,956 --> 00:58:28,285
He's not falling for this again
and he snap calls all in.
1476
00:58:28,287 --> 00:58:30,923
There's $750,000 on the table.
1477
00:58:32,388 --> 00:58:35,887
Diego burns a card
and deals a turn.
1478
00:58:35,889 --> 00:58:39,486
A king. Otto Von Bismarck
now has two pair.
1479
00:58:39,488 --> 00:58:41,453
Kings and sevens.
1480
00:58:41,455 --> 00:58:43,953
But two pair is nothing
next to a full house.
1481
00:58:43,955 --> 00:58:45,252
And at this point
1482
00:58:45,254 --> 00:58:46,452
the only hand left that can
1483
00:58:46,454 --> 00:58:48,221
beat a queen full house...
1484
00:58:49,654 --> 00:58:51,355
is a king full house.
1485
00:58:52,788 --> 00:58:55,986
Captain Von Trapp
bluffed two pair
1486
00:58:55,988 --> 00:58:58,321
and rivered into kings full.
1487
00:58:59,354 --> 00:59:01,118
Motherfucker!
1488
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:02,385
Motherfucker!
1489
00:59:02,387 --> 00:59:04,486
- Fuck you, fucking mechanic.
- Hey!
1490
00:59:04,488 --> 00:59:06,519
Fuck you, you bottom-dealing
party magician!
1491
00:59:06,521 --> 00:59:07,987
Hey! Get out on the terrace.
1492
00:59:07,989 --> 00:59:09,753
You've been pulling this shit
on me for two days!
1493
00:59:09,755 --> 00:59:11,956
- Come on, come on.
- Party magician.
1494
00:59:14,087 --> 00:59:15,956
- You good?
- I'm okay, thanks.
1495
00:59:21,488 --> 00:59:23,319
Molly :
What the hell?
1496
00:59:23,321 --> 00:59:26,086
I'll apologize to Diego.
1497
00:59:26,088 --> 00:59:28,053
Yeah. And you're gonna go home.
1498
00:59:28,055 --> 00:59:29,722
I'm making a floor call,
that's it.
1499
00:59:31,387 --> 00:59:32,555
Did you hear me?
1500
00:59:33,854 --> 00:59:35,321
I don't have it.
1501
00:59:39,055 --> 00:59:40,523
A million two.
1502
00:59:41,388 --> 00:59:42,622
I don't have it.
1503
00:59:46,220 --> 00:59:47,522
I'm sorry.
1504
00:59:55,622 --> 00:59:56,889
Go home.
1505
00:59:58,988 --> 01:00:00,488
I'm very sorry.
1506
01:00:03,288 --> 01:00:05,955
You got to tell
Sheila the truth, okay?
1507
01:00:07,521 --> 01:00:10,085
Tell her the truth.
Tell her what happened.
1508
01:00:10,087 --> 01:00:13,918
And I'm gonna help you.
I'm gonna get you to a meeting.
1509
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,619
We'll meet tomorrow
and figure out
1510
01:00:16,621 --> 01:00:18,455
what to do about the money.
1511
01:00:32,087 --> 01:00:33,918
Molly : Harlan and I
didn't meet the next day.
1512
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,819
He just called me
and said everything was okay
1513
01:00:35,821 --> 01:00:37,620
and showed up the next week
with a bank check
1514
01:00:37,622 --> 01:00:39,952
for a million, two hundred
thousand dollars.
1515
01:00:39,954 --> 01:00:42,352
Molly : Where did he
get the money from?
1516
01:00:42,354 --> 01:00:44,252
- I loaned it to him.
- Loaned it?
1517
01:00:44,254 --> 01:00:46,553
I get 50% of his wins
until the debt's paid off.
1518
01:00:46,555 --> 01:00:50,018
And then fifty percent for the
next two years with no exposure.
1519
01:00:50,020 --> 01:00:51,687
You're getting 50% of the wins.
1520
01:00:51,689 --> 01:00:54,619
- And no exposure on the losses?
- Yeah.
1521
01:00:54,621 --> 01:00:56,353
First of all, he'll never
climb out of that.
1522
01:00:56,355 --> 01:00:58,285
That's sharecropper math.
1523
01:00:58,287 --> 01:01:00,953
It's also usury.
It's racketeering.
1524
01:01:00,955 --> 01:01:02,952
Second, you can't
stake a player
1525
01:01:02,954 --> 01:01:04,652
and play in the game
at the same time.
1526
01:01:04,654 --> 01:01:07,285
I've been doing it
for two years.
1527
01:01:07,287 --> 01:01:09,755
- You've been staking Harlan?
- Yeah.
1528
01:01:10,988 --> 01:01:13,653
- Jesus Christ.
- It's not cheating.
1529
01:01:13,655 --> 01:01:14,919
It creates
the opportunity for it.
1530
01:01:14,921 --> 01:01:16,653
- Tell me how.
- Are you kidding me?
1531
01:01:16,655 --> 01:01:18,486
- Tell me how!
- You've interest in another...
1532
01:01:18,488 --> 01:01:19,619
You think I'm going
to take a dive?
1533
01:01:19,621 --> 01:01:21,485
And if I did, who would care?
1534
01:01:21,487 --> 01:01:22,752
You fold your hole cards.
1535
01:01:22,754 --> 01:01:24,453
Five of clubs,
and a jack of hearts.
1536
01:01:24,455 --> 01:01:25,485
He's still in the game.
1537
01:01:25,487 --> 01:01:26,885
It would benefit him to know
1538
01:01:26,887 --> 01:01:27,918
that the five of clubs...
1539
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:28,952
You think I'm signaling him?
1540
01:01:28,954 --> 01:01:29,985
I'm saying it can't
1541
01:01:29,987 --> 01:01:31,455
fucking happen again.
1542
01:01:37,820 --> 01:01:41,852
- You disapprove of me.
- It's not personal.
1543
01:01:41,854 --> 01:01:43,485
It feels personal
when you chat up
1544
01:01:43,487 --> 01:01:45,153
every other guy
at the game except me.
1545
01:01:45,155 --> 01:01:47,553
When you stay late for a drink
with J.T. but never...
1546
01:01:47,555 --> 01:01:49,218
Have you visited his Oscar?
1547
01:01:49,220 --> 01:01:51,453
I think it's bolted
on the hood of his car.
1548
01:01:51,455 --> 01:01:53,818
It's noticeable,
when you go out of your way
1549
01:01:53,820 --> 01:01:55,520
to demonstrate that you
have no interest in me.
1550
01:01:55,522 --> 01:01:57,386
You did the same thing to Dean.
1551
01:01:57,388 --> 01:01:59,353
These guys want to play cards
with me, not you!
1552
01:01:59,355 --> 01:02:00,786
Be that as it may...
1553
01:02:00,788 --> 01:02:02,486
You know who the biggest
winner in this game is?
1554
01:02:02,488 --> 01:02:03,552
- It's you.
- You know who...
1555
01:02:03,554 --> 01:02:04,652
The second biggest winner is?
1556
01:02:04,654 --> 01:02:06,355
- Look...
- It's you.
1557
01:02:07,788 --> 01:02:09,719
What are you taking home,
10,000 a night now?
1558
01:02:09,721 --> 01:02:11,751
That is my business,
literally.
1559
01:02:11,753 --> 01:02:13,818
Between you, the dealers
and the servers
1560
01:02:13,820 --> 01:02:15,587
you're taking a lot of money
out of this game.
1561
01:02:15,589 --> 01:02:17,253
Not as much
as I'm bringing to it.
1562
01:02:17,255 --> 01:02:18,586
That 10,000 is 10,000
1563
01:02:18,588 --> 01:02:20,019
that doesn't go in my pocket.
1564
01:02:20,021 --> 01:02:21,385
Again, my money is...
1565
01:02:21,387 --> 01:02:24,219
Your money is my money.
1566
01:02:24,221 --> 01:02:26,219
Is it?
1567
01:02:26,221 --> 01:02:28,687
I think we should talk
about capping your tips.
1568
01:02:31,753 --> 01:02:33,453
You want to get together
with the other players
1569
01:02:33,455 --> 01:02:36,886
who on my tax returns,
are called clients
1570
01:02:36,888 --> 01:02:39,018
and discuss putting
a ceiling on my wages?
1571
01:02:39,020 --> 01:02:40,952
That's right.
1572
01:02:40,954 --> 01:02:44,688
It'll be America's most closely
watched anti-trust case.
1573
01:02:46,288 --> 01:02:47,652
Molly :
Right there, right then
1574
01:02:47,654 --> 01:02:50,852
that fast, I lost the game.
1575
01:02:50,854 --> 01:02:53,118
It was the next Tuesday,
game night.
1576
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,185
He waited until he knew
I'd be on the way to the hotel
1577
01:02:56,187 --> 01:02:57,787
and then sent me a text.
1578
01:03:02,854 --> 01:03:04,618
It said, "We're playing
at Dave's tonight.
1579
01:03:04,620 --> 01:03:05,985
No need to show up."
1580
01:03:05,987 --> 01:03:08,119
And I knew the truth
even before I answered
1581
01:03:08,121 --> 01:03:09,755
the call that came next.
1582
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,118
(Player X laughing)
You are so fucked.
1583
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,255
(instrumental music)
1584
01:03:31,787 --> 01:03:33,885
There's no such word
as verticality.
1585
01:03:33,887 --> 01:03:36,786
- Hmm?
- In the book, on page 152.
1586
01:03:36,788 --> 01:03:39,119
"When you lose the game in L.A.
and come to New York
1587
01:03:39,121 --> 01:03:41,186
you admire
the city's verticality."
1588
01:03:41,188 --> 01:03:42,219
It's a word.
1589
01:03:42,221 --> 01:03:43,352
Once you're in New York
1590
01:03:43,354 --> 01:03:44,386
you talk about games
1591
01:03:44,388 --> 01:03:46,485
lasting all night, two nights.
1592
01:03:46,487 --> 01:03:50,253
Bein' up for days,
but you don't mention drugs.
1593
01:03:50,255 --> 01:03:51,718
There were drugs.
I'm two years clean.
1594
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,286
But you left the drugs
out of the book.
1595
01:03:53,288 --> 01:03:55,353
You know what?
I'm not paying you $250,000
1596
01:03:55,355 --> 01:03:56,586
for your Amazon
customer review.
1597
01:03:56,588 --> 01:03:58,785
So far, you're not
paying me for anything.
1598
01:03:58,787 --> 01:04:00,486
I just emailed you
verticality
1599
01:04:00,488 --> 01:04:02,785
from Merriam-Webster's
Dictionary.
1600
01:04:02,787 --> 01:04:05,289
What's an advance
on a book like this?
1601
01:04:06,355 --> 01:04:08,489
The advance?
1602
01:04:10,155 --> 01:04:11,453
It depends.
1603
01:04:11,455 --> 01:04:13,152
Eli :
If you guarantee the publishers
1604
01:04:13,154 --> 01:04:14,352
certain elements
1605
01:04:14,354 --> 01:04:16,319
then I can get you
a million and a half.
1606
01:04:16,321 --> 01:04:17,886
Which you'd probably
double on sales
1607
01:04:17,888 --> 01:04:19,153
plus ancillary rights.
1608
01:04:19,155 --> 01:04:20,519
What kind of elements?
1609
01:04:20,521 --> 01:04:23,518
- You have to use real names.
- Eli...
1610
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,719
There's a guy who sits
outside my Starbucks
1611
01:04:25,721 --> 01:04:28,186
with a, uh,
with a cardboard sign
1612
01:04:28,188 --> 01:04:29,651
that says "Vietnam Vet."
1613
01:04:29,653 --> 01:04:31,519
And every morning,
I give him a quarter.
1614
01:04:31,521 --> 01:04:33,484
And right now,
the only difference
1615
01:04:33,486 --> 01:04:34,851
between you and him
1616
01:04:34,853 --> 01:04:36,452
is that you have
a story.
1617
01:04:36,454 --> 01:04:38,152
I'm one thousand
percent sure that
1618
01:04:38,154 --> 01:04:39,953
the homeless Vietnam vet
has a better one.
1619
01:04:39,955 --> 01:04:41,686
You have one asset.
1620
01:04:41,688 --> 01:04:43,285
Write your story
and I can get you
1621
01:04:43,287 --> 01:04:45,686
a million and a half,
and-and that's the floor.
1622
01:04:45,688 --> 01:04:47,586
Go big or go home
1623
01:04:47,588 --> 01:04:49,018
and live with your mother.
1624
01:04:49,020 --> 01:04:50,687
For the rest of your life.
1625
01:04:53,988 --> 01:04:55,455
What if I...
1626
01:04:58,055 --> 01:04:59,320
What if I told the publishers
1627
01:04:59,322 --> 01:05:02,484
that I-I would name the players
1628
01:05:02,486 --> 01:05:05,118
who are already named in
the Brad Marion Deposition?
1629
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:06,388
All four?
1630
01:05:07,588 --> 01:05:09,286
I'll use the real names
of the players
1631
01:05:09,288 --> 01:05:11,119
who are already
named by Bad Brad.
1632
01:05:11,121 --> 01:05:12,786
- What if I told them that?
- You spent eight years...
1633
01:05:12,788 --> 01:05:14,485
In Hollywood and
two years in New York
1634
01:05:14,487 --> 01:05:15,852
running the world's
most exclusive
1635
01:05:15,854 --> 01:05:18,118
glamorous and decadent
man cave.
1636
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:19,686
Eli : So what do the
publishers get from you
1637
01:05:19,688 --> 01:05:21,688
about people with real names?
1638
01:05:24,021 --> 01:05:25,955
My advance was $35,000.
1639
01:05:27,653 --> 01:05:29,018
Well, the first thing
I'm gonna do is
1640
01:05:29,020 --> 01:05:30,585
get you a minor role reduction.
1641
01:05:30,587 --> 01:05:32,418
Get the 12 points
knocked down to ten.
1642
01:05:32,420 --> 01:05:34,085
- What's a minor role reduction?
- I'm going to argue...
1643
01:05:34,087 --> 01:05:36,718
To the prosecutor that you're,
uh, an employee that was
1644
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,385
hired and fired
by the players.
1645
01:05:38,387 --> 01:05:40,785
- Not a chance.
- I think we got a good chance.
1646
01:05:40,787 --> 01:05:42,384
No, not a chance I'm letting
you make that argument.
1647
01:05:42,386 --> 01:05:44,719
- Why not?
- It's not true.
1648
01:05:44,721 --> 01:05:46,153
Let me explain how
the point system works.
1649
01:05:46,155 --> 01:05:47,484
I know how it works.
1650
01:05:47,486 --> 01:05:49,484
Points correspond
with the prosecutor's
1651
01:05:49,486 --> 01:05:50,918
sentencing recommendation.
1652
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,118
You try to get a point reduction
1653
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,419
based on a variety of factors
1654
01:05:53,421 --> 01:05:55,618
including, say,
prior criminal history
1655
01:05:55,620 --> 01:05:57,652
which I don't have,
or whether the defendant
1656
01:05:57,654 --> 01:05:59,585
played a minor role,
which I certainly did not.
1657
01:05:59,587 --> 01:06:01,318
You really think this is
a good time to hog credit?
1658
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:02,585
- I built it from scratch.
- No.
1659
01:06:02,587 --> 01:06:03,851
There was already a game
at the Cobra Lounge
1660
01:06:03,853 --> 01:06:04,919
when you came along.
1661
01:06:04,921 --> 01:06:06,451
The New York game is
what I'm talking about.
1662
01:06:06,453 --> 01:06:07,885
I built from scratch.
1663
01:06:07,887 --> 01:06:09,052
I wasn't fireable.
1664
01:06:09,054 --> 01:06:10,086
I made sure of that.
1665
01:06:10,088 --> 01:06:11,388
So, no.
1666
01:06:12,588 --> 01:06:13,618
I wasn't really listening.
1667
01:06:13,620 --> 01:06:15,351
I'm refusing you permission
1668
01:06:15,353 --> 01:06:16,685
to seek a minor role reduction.
1669
01:06:16,687 --> 01:06:18,119
I'm refusing you permission
1670
01:06:18,121 --> 01:06:19,652
to invalidate
my entire career.
1671
01:06:19,654 --> 01:06:21,918
- And I'm not caring.
- I built a successful...
1672
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:23,420
Hey, do you want kids?
1673
01:06:25,254 --> 01:06:27,285
You interested
in having a family?
1674
01:06:27,287 --> 01:06:28,751
Very much.
1675
01:06:28,753 --> 01:06:30,418
I don't get you
some point reductions
1676
01:06:30,420 --> 01:06:32,085
and the sentencing
recommendation guidelines
1677
01:06:32,087 --> 01:06:33,484
say eight to twelve years.
1678
01:06:33,486 --> 01:06:35,153
And that's before they
try to jam you up
1679
01:06:35,155 --> 01:06:36,718
more for money laundering.
1680
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,953
The moment you changed the
Russian's money for chips...
1681
01:06:38,955 --> 01:06:40,718
I would've had to been aware
where the money was...
1682
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,752
Find me twelve men and women
who'll believe
1683
01:06:42,754 --> 01:06:44,752
that you weren't aware
of exactly who was sitting
1684
01:06:44,754 --> 01:06:46,384
at your table
and where the money came from.
1685
01:06:46,386 --> 01:06:48,019
So, that's it.
1686
01:06:48,021 --> 01:06:50,320
You were a cocktail waitress.
1687
01:06:55,088 --> 01:06:59,452
Molly : When I lost the L.A. game,
I told myself it was no big deal.
1688
01:06:59,454 --> 01:07:01,452
It was just supposed
to be an adventure
1689
01:07:01,454 --> 01:07:03,921
and a way to meet
influential people.
1690
01:07:05,653 --> 01:07:08,487
And I'd saved over $200,000.
1691
01:07:10,154 --> 01:07:12,852
But that was just a weak
firewall I'd hastily built
1692
01:07:12,854 --> 01:07:15,319
to keep out the humiliation
and depression
1693
01:07:15,321 --> 01:07:16,787
I knew was coming.
1694
01:07:20,587 --> 01:07:22,420
It had to end sometime.
1695
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,954
I just thought
it would be on my time.
1696
01:07:27,386 --> 01:07:30,184
The game had given me
an identity
1697
01:07:30,186 --> 01:07:32,651
respect and a defined place
1698
01:07:32,653 --> 01:07:35,652
in a world
that was inaccessible.
1699
01:07:35,654 --> 01:07:39,220
And in one irrational
heartbeat, it was taken away.
1700
01:07:41,253 --> 01:07:43,452
I was irrelevant...
1701
01:07:43,454 --> 01:07:45,588
and forgotten, overnight.
1702
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,918
It'd been two weeks
since I lost the game...
1703
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,886
and I made an appointment
to see someone.
1704
01:07:53,888 --> 01:07:56,651
Because now,
the humiliation and depression
1705
01:07:56,653 --> 01:07:58,618
had given way
to a blinding anger
1706
01:07:58,620 --> 01:08:02,287
at my powerlessness
over the unfair whims of men.
1707
01:08:04,788 --> 01:08:07,151
It was that
there weren't any rules.
1708
01:08:07,153 --> 01:08:10,419
These power moves weren't
framed by right and wrong.
1709
01:08:10,421 --> 01:08:12,586
Just ego and vanity.
1710
01:08:12,588 --> 01:08:15,318
Selfish whims with
no regard for consequence.
1711
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,084
No fairness, no justice.
1712
01:08:17,086 --> 01:08:19,885
And that giggling,
cackling call from Player X.
1713
01:08:19,887 --> 01:08:21,752
(Player X giggling)
You're so fucked.
1714
01:08:21,754 --> 01:08:23,751
I couldn't lose to that
green-screened little shit.
1715
01:08:23,753 --> 01:08:25,053
And I didn't want a therapist
1716
01:08:25,055 --> 01:08:27,685
to make me feel okay about it.
1717
01:08:27,687 --> 01:08:30,651
You know what makes you feel
okay about losing?
1718
01:08:30,653 --> 01:08:32,419
Winning.
1719
01:08:32,421 --> 01:08:34,284
I got on a plane to New York.
1720
01:08:34,286 --> 01:08:36,618
(instrumental music)
1721
01:08:36,620 --> 01:08:39,018
Wall Street. Madison Avenue.
1722
01:08:39,020 --> 01:08:41,318
Fifth Avenue. The Dakota.
1723
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:42,552
The San Remo.
1724
01:08:42,554 --> 01:08:44,085
The players were here.
1725
01:08:44,087 --> 01:08:45,952
I just had to bait the hook.
1726
01:08:45,954 --> 01:08:49,452
This time,
I didn't have movie stars.
1727
01:08:49,454 --> 01:08:52,284
This time,
I used Playboy Playmates.
1728
01:08:52,286 --> 01:08:54,586
These weren't
just any Playmates.
1729
01:08:54,588 --> 01:08:56,585
Jesse was
a Puerto Rican knockout
1730
01:08:56,587 --> 01:08:58,351
who grew up working
in card rooms
1731
01:08:58,353 --> 01:09:00,451
and was a good player herself.
1732
01:09:00,453 --> 01:09:02,752
I could stake her,
infiltrate other games
1733
01:09:02,754 --> 01:09:05,151
and poach
their big ticket players.
1734
01:09:05,153 --> 01:09:06,618
Shelby could write code
1735
01:09:06,620 --> 01:09:08,419
and run more thorough
background checks
1736
01:09:08,421 --> 01:09:10,984
than the T.S.A.
1737
01:09:10,986 --> 01:09:13,952
Winston was the daughter
of an American diplomat.
1738
01:09:13,954 --> 01:09:15,418
She's lived in nine
different countries
1739
01:09:15,420 --> 01:09:17,218
and had the email addresses
1740
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:19,619
of half
the Saudi Royal Family.
1741
01:09:19,621 --> 01:09:21,484
Molly : Who's the biggest
game in Manhattan?
1742
01:09:21,486 --> 01:09:24,953
On any given night, it's either
Teddy Chin or Tutti Toscano.
1743
01:09:24,955 --> 01:09:27,118
- But that's Manhattan.
- What do you mean?
1744
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,251
Biggest game in New York
is in Brooklyn.
1745
01:09:29,253 --> 01:09:30,719
Russian Jews.
1746
01:09:30,721 --> 01:09:31,552
Buy-in's a 100k.
1747
01:09:31,554 --> 01:09:32,785
No one runs the game.
1748
01:09:32,787 --> 01:09:34,551
They just play and pay.
1749
01:09:34,553 --> 01:09:36,485
We couldn't promise anyone
they'd rub elbows
1750
01:09:36,487 --> 01:09:37,952
with movie stars.
1751
01:09:37,954 --> 01:09:39,018
But New York has one thing
1752
01:09:39,020 --> 01:09:40,151
Hollywood doesn't.
1753
01:09:40,153 --> 01:09:41,586
The Yankees.
1754
01:09:41,588 --> 01:09:43,318
And there was one
Yankee in particular
1755
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,619
that every man in America
1756
01:09:44,621 --> 01:09:46,051
would line up to lose to.
1757
01:09:46,053 --> 01:09:47,385
Don't say his name out loud.
1758
01:09:47,387 --> 01:09:49,117
Write it on a cocktail napkin.
1759
01:09:49,119 --> 01:09:50,319
Crumple up the napkin up.
1760
01:09:50,321 --> 01:09:51,685
Put it in a glass of water
1761
01:09:51,687 --> 01:09:53,251
so they can see
the ink dissolve.
1762
01:09:53,253 --> 01:09:54,585
- That's really necessary?
- No.
1763
01:09:54,587 --> 01:09:56,085
It's not at all necessary.
1764
01:09:56,087 --> 01:09:57,117
When do we tell them the game
1765
01:09:57,119 --> 01:09:58,419
is going to start?
1766
01:09:58,421 --> 01:09:59,619
Tell them it's been happening
1767
01:09:59,621 --> 01:10:01,786
once a week for about six months
1768
01:10:01,788 --> 01:10:04,217
at a location you won't
disclose right now.
1769
01:10:04,219 --> 01:10:05,917
There's a pretty long
waiting list for a chair
1770
01:10:05,919 --> 01:10:08,519
but Molly's here somewhere
1771
01:10:08,521 --> 01:10:10,251
and I'll introduce you to her.
1772
01:10:10,253 --> 01:10:12,451
50K buy-in,
blinds are five and one?
1773
01:10:12,453 --> 01:10:14,588
Yeah, fifty...
1774
01:10:17,986 --> 01:10:19,018
Mol?
1775
01:10:19,020 --> 01:10:20,651
50K buy-in?
1776
01:10:20,653 --> 01:10:23,685
No, 250.
1777
01:10:23,687 --> 01:10:25,319
That's going to make noise.
1778
01:10:25,321 --> 01:10:27,954
Enough to be
heard on Rodeo Drive.
1779
01:10:29,853 --> 01:10:31,819
(instrumental music)
1780
01:10:31,821 --> 01:10:33,552
Molly :
The Gold Coast of Long Island
1781
01:10:33,554 --> 01:10:35,185
has been home
to the Vanderbilts
1782
01:10:35,187 --> 01:10:36,519
Roosevelts, Whitneys
1783
01:10:36,521 --> 01:10:38,985
J.P. Morgan
and F.W. Woolworth.
1784
01:10:38,987 --> 01:10:42,419
It's an impossible ticket
to get, but I can talk to Molly.
1785
01:10:42,421 --> 01:10:45,184
Molly : Tonight was a $10,000
per person fundraiser
1786
01:10:45,186 --> 01:10:46,484
to pay for major renovations
1787
01:10:46,486 --> 01:10:48,185
at the East Hampton Yacht Club.
1788
01:10:48,187 --> 01:10:49,652
Molly's around here somewhere.
1789
01:10:49,654 --> 01:10:51,552
I could introduce you, but I
wouldn't get my hopes up.
1790
01:10:51,554 --> 01:10:52,651
Molly :
That's for real.
1791
01:10:52,653 --> 01:10:53,752
There was a charity event
1792
01:10:53,754 --> 01:10:55,218
for residents of the Hamptons
1793
01:10:55,220 --> 01:10:56,319
who own yachts.
1794
01:10:56,321 --> 01:10:57,485
In my business, that's called
1795
01:10:57,487 --> 01:10:58,850
a target-rich environment.
1796
01:10:58,852 --> 01:11:01,686
I have to tell you
the initial buy-in is $250,000.
1797
01:11:01,688 --> 01:11:05,221
$250,000? That's almost as much
as my second car.
1798
01:11:06,353 --> 01:11:08,152
Your friends come to the games?
1799
01:11:08,154 --> 01:11:09,419
Mm-hm.
1800
01:11:09,421 --> 01:11:10,485
Molly :
It took only 7 weeks
1801
01:11:10,487 --> 01:11:12,018
of recruiting to get 10 players
1802
01:11:12,020 --> 01:11:13,884
and 7 on a waiting list.
1803
01:11:13,886 --> 01:11:15,185
And in these circles
1804
01:11:15,187 --> 01:11:16,217
that was more than enough
1805
01:11:16,219 --> 01:11:18,352
to start the mythology.
1806
01:11:18,354 --> 01:11:20,252
By morning,
gamblers would be telling
1807
01:11:20,254 --> 01:11:22,817
and hearing stories
about this game in London
1808
01:11:22,819 --> 01:11:25,051
Tokyo and Dubai.
1809
01:11:25,053 --> 01:11:26,117
At the end of that year
1810
01:11:26,119 --> 01:11:27,251
I reported an income
1811
01:11:27,253 --> 01:11:31,052
of $4,773,000.
1812
01:11:31,054 --> 01:11:34,652
Every square inch of it
legal and on the books.
1813
01:11:34,654 --> 01:11:37,284
I was the biggest game runner
in the world.
1814
01:11:37,286 --> 01:11:38,618
All tips.
1815
01:11:38,620 --> 01:11:40,152
I still hadn't taken a rake
1816
01:11:40,154 --> 01:11:42,418
and I still hadn't accidentally
recruited members
1817
01:11:42,420 --> 01:11:44,652
of a Russian crime syndicate.
1818
01:11:44,654 --> 01:11:47,452
In the beginning, I was using
drugs to stay awake.
1819
01:11:47,454 --> 01:11:49,686
First Adderall,
then Adderall crushed up
1820
01:11:49,688 --> 01:11:51,618
to defeat the time release.
1821
01:11:51,620 --> 01:11:53,618
Then coke, Valium, Vicodin
1822
01:11:53,620 --> 01:11:55,284
Percocet and more Adderall.
1823
01:11:55,286 --> 01:11:58,218
I rented a penthouse apartment
and installed plasma screens
1824
01:11:58,220 --> 01:11:59,952
for the sports bettors.
1825
01:11:59,954 --> 01:12:01,850
I had the lower stakes
games on Wednesdays
1826
01:12:01,852 --> 01:12:03,818
Thursdays and Sundays
at my place
1827
01:12:03,820 --> 01:12:06,551
with Tuesday night at
the Plaza being the big game.
1828
01:12:06,553 --> 01:12:07,985
At 7:00, the dealers came
1829
01:12:07,987 --> 01:12:09,717
and the table was set up
and polished
1830
01:12:09,719 --> 01:12:11,285
and ten chairs
were placed around it
1831
01:12:11,287 --> 01:12:13,717
exactly 12 inches apart.
1832
01:12:13,719 --> 01:12:15,684
I used custom chips
and two dealers
1833
01:12:15,686 --> 01:12:17,818
who worked an hour on,
an hour off
1834
01:12:17,820 --> 01:12:21,052
with a new crew coming in
after 12 hours.
1835
01:12:21,054 --> 01:12:22,885
Casinos had discovered
that certain scents
1836
01:12:22,887 --> 01:12:25,251
make people more likely
to place big bets.
1837
01:12:25,253 --> 01:12:28,519
The Casinos pump those scents
in through the ventilation.
1838
01:12:28,521 --> 01:12:31,751
I had custom candles made.
1839
01:12:31,753 --> 01:12:34,084
I'd been working
with a new dealer named "B."
1840
01:12:34,086 --> 01:12:36,885
Not like Beatrice,
just the initial.
1841
01:12:36,887 --> 01:12:38,685
She'd been working in
trashy card rooms
1842
01:12:38,687 --> 01:12:40,888
on the East Side
and we became friends.
1843
01:12:42,119 --> 01:12:43,419
Tone it down.
1844
01:12:43,421 --> 01:12:45,721
The big players
don't like fast hands.
1845
01:12:48,954 --> 01:12:51,551
Sarcastic dealing, cool.
1846
01:12:51,553 --> 01:12:54,551
You got to do it,
not doing it is insanity.
1847
01:12:54,553 --> 01:12:56,352
You must be able to see that.
1848
01:12:56,354 --> 01:12:58,784
You've been stiffed four
or five times.
1849
01:12:58,786 --> 01:13:01,285
You've got hundreds of thousands
on the street.
1850
01:13:01,287 --> 01:13:03,751
That's money you're
never gonna see again.
1851
01:13:03,753 --> 01:13:07,319
Molly : B had been suggesting
it for a long time.
1852
01:13:07,321 --> 01:13:08,617
She was suggesting it again
1853
01:13:08,619 --> 01:13:10,185
because of an incident
the week before.
1854
01:13:10,187 --> 01:13:11,552
- Hey, Cole.
- Hey.
1855
01:13:11,554 --> 01:13:14,184
- Come on in.
- Thanks, you got my check?
1856
01:13:14,186 --> 01:13:16,151
Molly :
I do.
1857
01:13:16,153 --> 01:13:17,484
- It's right here.
- Thank you.
1858
01:13:17,486 --> 01:13:18,884
Hey can I show you
something on TV?
1859
01:13:18,886 --> 01:13:21,818
Umm, actually,
I'm in kinda a hurry.
1860
01:13:21,820 --> 01:13:23,654
It'll just take a second.
Have a seat.
1861
01:13:26,619 --> 01:13:29,217
This is last Tuesday's game.
1862
01:13:29,219 --> 01:13:31,051
Shit, Molly,
if the guys find out
1863
01:13:31,053 --> 01:13:33,952
you've got cameras on them,
they're gonna go nuts.
1864
01:13:33,954 --> 01:13:36,018
Yeah, that's you
in the seventh chair.
1865
01:13:36,020 --> 01:13:37,185
Look at your stack of chips.
1866
01:13:37,187 --> 01:13:38,618
I've got a cab downstairs...
1867
01:13:38,620 --> 01:13:42,052
Look at the time stamp.
1:06 a.m.
1868
01:13:42,054 --> 01:13:43,651
Molly :
Let's fast forward to 1:07.
1869
01:13:43,653 --> 01:13:46,118
1:07,
you lose a hand to Boosty.
1870
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,351
- What is this?
- 1:08.
1871
01:13:48,353 --> 01:13:49,985
Our sheets say that
you didn't buy-in again
1872
01:13:49,987 --> 01:13:51,485
between 1:06 and 1:08.
1873
01:13:51,487 --> 01:13:53,617
But look at that,
your stack's bigger.
1874
01:13:53,619 --> 01:13:56,051
- I can explain, it's just, uh...
- Okay, let's rewind.
1875
01:13:56,053 --> 01:13:57,951
This screen's got
the dealer changeover
1876
01:13:57,953 --> 01:14:00,319
while at the same time,
on this screen
1877
01:14:00,321 --> 01:14:04,151
and... there we are.
1878
01:14:04,153 --> 01:14:08,151
This is why I can't reconcile
$57,000 from Tuesday's game.
1879
01:14:08,153 --> 01:14:10,718
A 7-11's got security cameras
on their slushy machine.
1880
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,419
I've got a million
dollars changing hands
1881
01:14:12,421 --> 01:14:14,385
every two minutes, imbecile.
1882
01:14:14,387 --> 01:14:16,520
You don't think
I've got eyes on the table?
1883
01:14:18,986 --> 01:14:20,487
Relax.
1884
01:14:23,619 --> 01:14:25,517
I, uh, I owe people money.
1885
01:14:25,519 --> 01:14:27,850
I know. Why isn't it coming
from the trust fund?
1886
01:14:27,852 --> 01:14:30,985
I need my parents' permission
to get that much.
1887
01:14:30,987 --> 01:14:33,251
And they'd kill me. You don't
even understand what it's like.
1888
01:14:33,253 --> 01:14:35,319
People don't realize
trust fund kids.
1889
01:14:35,321 --> 01:14:36,451
Are suffering
in this economy, too.
1890
01:14:36,453 --> 01:14:38,117
I realize what I did was wrong.
1891
01:14:38,119 --> 01:14:40,384
Did it take a lot of soul
searching to get you there?
1892
01:14:40,386 --> 01:14:41,785
Okay, okay, first of all
1893
01:14:41,787 --> 01:14:43,251
the guys that are making
the counterfeit chips
1894
01:14:43,253 --> 01:14:44,551
are taking you for a ride.
1895
01:14:44,553 --> 01:14:45,952
They know that
there are signatures
1896
01:14:45,954 --> 01:14:46,984
built into the chips.
1897
01:14:46,986 --> 01:14:49,751
Exact weight, infrared markings.
1898
01:14:49,753 --> 01:14:51,451
Breathe. Second.
1899
01:14:51,453 --> 01:14:53,319
Don't try this
at anyone else's game
1900
01:14:53,321 --> 01:14:54,850
because if you do,
they are going to express
1901
01:14:54,852 --> 01:14:57,517
their anger in a much different
way than I am.
1902
01:14:57,519 --> 01:14:59,252
You owe me $57,000.
1903
01:14:59,254 --> 01:15:00,817
When I get it, you get the tape
1904
01:15:00,819 --> 01:15:01,985
but until then
1905
01:15:01,987 --> 01:15:04,117
you don't play in anyone's game.
1906
01:15:04,119 --> 01:15:07,151
Molly : So when Tuesday night
came, B was at it again.
1907
01:15:07,153 --> 01:15:09,018
Your exposure's crazy.
1908
01:15:09,020 --> 01:15:11,151
It's not if, it's when.
1909
01:15:11,153 --> 01:15:13,018
You're gonna get blown up.
1910
01:15:13,020 --> 01:15:15,517
Your risk is nuts.
1911
01:15:15,519 --> 01:15:17,952
If I took a rake, this game
would no longer be legal.
1912
01:15:17,954 --> 01:15:21,917
And if you can't cover,
this game will no longer exist.
1913
01:15:21,919 --> 01:15:23,685
You're the bank now.
1914
01:15:23,687 --> 01:15:26,354
You're guaranteeing the game.
1915
01:15:28,953 --> 01:15:30,284
If you see a hand
1916
01:15:30,286 --> 01:15:31,750
you don't want to carry
1917
01:15:31,752 --> 01:15:33,351
just look at me
1918
01:15:33,353 --> 01:15:35,118
flash me a number
1919
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,354
and I'll take it off the table.
1920
01:15:38,553 --> 01:15:42,252
Most runners cap it
at five percent.
1921
01:15:42,254 --> 01:15:45,187
- I'll see you out there.
- See you out there.
1922
01:16:03,353 --> 01:16:04,985
Molly :
Two weeks later, around 2 a.m.
1923
01:16:04,987 --> 01:16:08,450
there was a pot that was up to
$1.3 million, pre-flop
1924
01:16:08,452 --> 01:16:11,684
with five players still in.
1925
01:16:11,686 --> 01:16:15,417
My hope was that the flop
would chase four of them off.
1926
01:16:15,419 --> 01:16:16,918
male #5 :
$200,000.
1927
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,720
Raise a $100,000.
1928
01:16:21,420 --> 01:16:24,751
- $300,000 to you, sir.
- Call.
1929
01:16:24,753 --> 01:16:27,921
Molly : There was now 2.1
million on the table.
1930
01:16:30,853 --> 01:16:32,654
$300,000 to you, sir.
1931
01:16:34,286 --> 01:16:35,517
Plus 200.
1932
01:16:35,519 --> 01:16:37,187
Molly :
$2.6 million.
1933
01:16:44,252 --> 01:16:46,283
Three million.
1934
01:16:46,285 --> 01:16:47,550
She was right.
1935
01:16:47,552 --> 01:16:49,584
I was extending credit.
Big numbers.
1936
01:16:49,586 --> 01:16:51,550
And it's not like
Harlan Eustice hadn't already
1937
01:16:51,552 --> 01:16:53,685
put the fear of God into me.
1938
01:16:53,687 --> 01:16:55,550
If I couldn't pay one time
1939
01:16:55,552 --> 01:16:58,052
that'd be the end of the game.
1940
01:16:58,054 --> 01:16:59,687
I was the house.
1941
01:17:02,987 --> 01:17:05,483
That's how quickly
I made the decision.
1942
01:17:05,485 --> 01:17:08,384
And just as quickly, B
calculated 2 percent of the pot
1943
01:17:08,386 --> 01:17:10,220
and took it off the table.
1944
01:17:12,652 --> 01:17:14,785
That was it,
I had just taken a rake
1945
01:17:14,787 --> 01:17:19,319
in violation of
U.S. Criminal Code, 1955.
1946
01:17:24,219 --> 01:17:26,184
It's time to introduce
Douglas Downey
1947
01:17:26,186 --> 01:17:28,985
'cause Downey's gonna
take us all the way home.
1948
01:17:28,987 --> 01:17:30,818
Downey was a drunk,
and he'd stay after the game
1949
01:17:30,820 --> 01:17:33,450
and hang out
while I did the books.
1950
01:17:33,452 --> 01:17:35,216
He was hard to understand
when he was drunk
1951
01:17:35,218 --> 01:17:36,418
and his conversation openers
1952
01:17:36,420 --> 01:17:37,484
would always sound like
1953
01:17:37,486 --> 01:17:38,952
the title of a detective novel.
1954
01:17:38,954 --> 01:17:41,750
Victim of circumstance.
1955
01:17:41,752 --> 01:17:42,888
Yeah.
1956
01:17:45,420 --> 01:17:48,283
Story of, you know...
1957
01:17:48,285 --> 01:17:51,586
Story of my proverbial,
you know...
1958
01:17:56,219 --> 01:17:58,917
- Life?
- Life.
1959
01:17:58,919 --> 01:18:01,318
Molly :
He'd talk about his marriage.
1960
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,183
I married young, Mol.
1961
01:18:04,185 --> 01:18:06,717
I married young
and I married dull.
1962
01:18:06,719 --> 01:18:10,885
If I'd been born in Greenwich
instead of Flushing...
1963
01:18:10,887 --> 01:18:12,817
Molly : He talked about
wanting a better life.
1964
01:18:12,819 --> 01:18:14,283
New Canaan...
1965
01:18:14,285 --> 01:18:17,284
Gone to... Rye Country Day
1966
01:18:17,286 --> 01:18:18,921
Princeton...
1967
01:18:20,787 --> 01:18:21,854
The life I'd have.
1968
01:18:23,085 --> 01:18:24,850
The wife I'd have?
1969
01:18:24,852 --> 01:18:26,786
I'd be a player.
1970
01:18:29,919 --> 01:18:31,786
Victim of circumstance.
1971
01:18:35,286 --> 01:18:38,751
Mol, these are things
I only say to you.
1972
01:18:38,753 --> 01:18:39,951
Good call.
1973
01:18:39,953 --> 01:18:41,184
Molly :
And he'd talk about another
1974
01:18:41,186 --> 01:18:43,050
game he played in.
1975
01:18:43,052 --> 01:18:44,450
It was the Brooklyn game.
1976
01:18:44,452 --> 01:18:45,517
The Brighton Beach game
1977
01:18:45,519 --> 01:18:46,751
where they played all night
1978
01:18:46,753 --> 01:18:47,951
and all day.
1979
01:18:47,953 --> 01:18:50,417
The game that was
populated by Russians.
1980
01:18:50,419 --> 01:18:53,618
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
1981
01:18:53,620 --> 01:18:57,151
Mol, these are the nicest
guys I've ever met.
1982
01:18:57,153 --> 01:19:00,451
Molly : Then one night, Douglas
Downey lost $80,000 at my game
1983
01:19:00,453 --> 01:19:01,750
and didn't have it.
1984
01:19:01,752 --> 01:19:03,818
Winston, can I have
the room, please?
1985
01:19:03,820 --> 01:19:05,084
Sure.
1986
01:19:05,086 --> 01:19:06,587
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Mm.
1987
01:19:11,019 --> 01:19:12,850
You won a $190,000 last week.
1988
01:19:12,852 --> 01:19:16,751
- I owe Teddy Chin and Tutti...
- Right.
1989
01:19:16,753 --> 01:19:18,251
And some sports bets.
1990
01:19:18,253 --> 01:19:20,884
I'm a winner trapped
inside the body of a...
1991
01:19:20,886 --> 01:19:23,116
- Stop.
- Yeah.
1992
01:19:23,118 --> 01:19:25,383
The Brooklyn game.
1993
01:19:25,385 --> 01:19:27,151
Is everything I've heard true?
1994
01:19:27,153 --> 01:19:28,651
What have you heard?
1995
01:19:28,653 --> 01:19:30,216
The Russian's have deep pockets
1996
01:19:30,218 --> 01:19:31,617
bad at poker, give action
1997
01:19:31,619 --> 01:19:33,618
pay instantly
and wear a coat and tie.
1998
01:19:33,620 --> 01:19:34,888
It's all true.
1999
01:19:39,085 --> 01:19:40,850
Bring me some of those players
and I'll give you
2000
01:19:40,852 --> 01:19:43,885
a piece of the game
until your 80K is paid down.
2001
01:19:43,887 --> 01:19:45,718
Loser is what I was gonna say.
2002
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,851
Winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2003
01:19:47,853 --> 01:19:49,184
- I know. Got it.
- Loser.
2004
01:19:49,186 --> 01:19:50,518
Can you bring me some players?
2005
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,851
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2006
01:19:52,853 --> 01:19:54,850
Do you understand the deal
I'm offering you?
2007
01:19:54,852 --> 01:19:57,717
No, I'm saying this
because you're Irish
2008
01:19:57,719 --> 01:19:59,718
and they may not want
to play in your game.
2009
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,016
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2010
01:20:02,018 --> 01:20:03,952
I'm not Irish.
2011
01:20:06,053 --> 01:20:09,685
- You're not?
- No.
2012
01:20:09,687 --> 01:20:10,916
Molly Bloom?
2013
01:20:10,918 --> 01:20:13,253
You're thinking
of the James Joyce character.
2014
01:20:15,053 --> 01:20:17,217
I always thought you were Irish.
2015
01:20:17,219 --> 01:20:19,016
I'm not.
Can you bring me some players?
2016
01:20:19,018 --> 01:20:20,417
Isn't there a famous book...
2017
01:20:20,419 --> 01:20:22,050
Okay, Douglas, focus up.
2018
01:20:22,052 --> 01:20:24,417
Yes, there's a book
by James Joyce called "Ulysses"
2019
01:20:24,419 --> 01:20:25,718
and there's a character
named Molly Bloom
2020
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,183
and that is why
you think I'm Irish
2021
01:20:27,185 --> 01:20:29,184
but now it's time
to move past that.
2022
01:20:29,186 --> 01:20:31,521
Can you bring me
some Brighton Beach players?
2023
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,484
If you're not Irish,
what are you?
2024
01:20:36,486 --> 01:20:38,617
I'm a Russian Jew.
2025
01:20:38,619 --> 01:20:41,450
Molly : The next week, I
had some new players.
2026
01:20:41,452 --> 01:20:42,817
Mike was the first one
to arrive.
2027
01:20:42,819 --> 01:20:44,750
- I'm Jesse.
- I'm Mike Davidoff.
2028
01:20:44,752 --> 01:20:46,484
Molly : Mike owned a
chain of medical clinics
2029
01:20:46,486 --> 01:20:48,816
and had already posted
with a wire transfer.
2030
01:20:48,818 --> 01:20:51,817
Next were the Gershen brothers.
Illya and Alexei.
2031
01:20:51,819 --> 01:20:54,450
They were in the business
of exporting steel to China.
2032
01:20:54,452 --> 01:20:56,518
Alexei brought a quarter
of a million dollars
2033
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,654
in cash, in a backpack.
2034
01:20:59,753 --> 01:21:02,850
Mr. Habib, good evening.
I'm Shelby.
2035
01:21:02,852 --> 01:21:05,684
I'm Shelly.
Only one letter's different.
2036
01:21:05,686 --> 01:21:08,051
Also I'm a billionaire. I think
I may have seen you naked.
2037
01:21:08,053 --> 01:21:10,518
No. You would remember.
2038
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,051
Molly :
And then Shelly Habib.
2039
01:21:12,053 --> 01:21:13,951
The Habib family
owns the largest collection
2040
01:21:13,953 --> 01:21:17,618
of classical art in the world,
valued at 3 billion dollars
2041
01:21:17,620 --> 01:21:19,350
and Shelly runs
the Hallie Gallery
2042
01:21:19,352 --> 01:21:20,517
on Madison Avenue.
2043
01:21:20,519 --> 01:21:22,083
As for tonight, I was not able
2044
01:21:22,085 --> 01:21:23,417
to put my hands on cash today
2045
01:21:23,419 --> 01:21:24,451
because I woke up this morning
2046
01:21:24,453 --> 01:21:25,883
after the banks had closed.
2047
01:21:25,885 --> 01:21:27,184
So I'm hoping you'll accept
2048
01:21:27,186 --> 01:21:29,454
this as temporary collateral.
2049
01:21:32,052 --> 01:21:35,383
That is an authentic Monet?
2050
01:21:35,385 --> 01:21:38,250
Grabbed it right off the wall.
2051
01:21:38,252 --> 01:21:40,484
You came over here
carrying a Monet?
2052
01:21:40,486 --> 01:21:43,716
I was driven and I have security
outside the door.
2053
01:21:43,718 --> 01:21:46,250
Okay, Shelly.
Here's what I need you to do.
2054
01:21:46,252 --> 01:21:47,984
I need you to get this...
2055
01:21:47,986 --> 01:21:49,283
- What, four?
- Seven.
2056
01:21:49,285 --> 01:21:50,384
Molly :
Seven million dollar
2057
01:21:50,386 --> 01:21:51,717
painting out of here right now.
2058
01:21:51,719 --> 01:21:53,884
- And you're, I assume, armed?
- Sure.
2059
01:21:53,886 --> 01:21:56,351
Molly : Security can't stand
in front of the door.
2060
01:21:56,353 --> 01:21:58,016
Fix this up, come on back
2061
01:21:58,018 --> 01:22:01,250
and I'll extend you credit
tonight up to one and a half.
2062
01:22:01,252 --> 01:22:03,283
You're a very
beautiful woman.
2063
01:22:03,285 --> 01:22:04,683
Please be careful
with the painting.
2064
01:22:04,685 --> 01:22:06,117
Always.
2065
01:22:06,119 --> 01:22:08,650
Molly : Mike, Illya,
Alexei and Shelly.
2066
01:22:08,652 --> 01:22:10,716
Those were the players
Doug Downey brought me.
2067
01:22:10,718 --> 01:22:13,717
As advertised,
they played loose, gave action
2068
01:22:13,719 --> 01:22:16,251
lost to the regulars
and settled right away.
2069
01:22:16,253 --> 01:22:19,016
People have asked,
"Wasn't there any way to tell
2070
01:22:19,018 --> 01:22:20,783
"that some of the players
at your game were connected
2071
01:22:20,785 --> 01:22:22,617
"to one of the darkest,
deadliest
2072
01:22:22,619 --> 01:22:25,916
and far-reaching organized
crime syndicates in the world?"
2073
01:22:25,918 --> 01:22:28,217
No. There wasn't.
2074
01:22:28,219 --> 01:22:30,254
I'm gonna go all in.
2075
01:22:53,386 --> 01:22:56,521
(instrumental music)
2076
01:23:24,719 --> 01:23:25,853
(Charlie sighs)
2077
01:23:27,253 --> 01:23:29,717
I wish I had better news.
2078
01:23:29,719 --> 01:23:32,517
Harrison Wellstone didn't go
for the minor role reduction?
2079
01:23:32,519 --> 01:23:33,749
No.
2080
01:23:33,751 --> 01:23:35,550
He didn't buy that
I was a cocktail waitress?
2081
01:23:35,552 --> 01:23:38,650
- No.
- Aww. Is it because I wasn't?
2082
01:23:38,652 --> 01:23:41,216
Hey, I tried, which is what
you're not paying me to do.
2083
01:23:41,218 --> 01:23:42,549
So what now?
2084
01:23:42,551 --> 01:23:43,883
The Government
is expressing an interest
2085
01:23:43,885 --> 01:23:45,451
in you being
a cooperating witness.
2086
01:23:45,453 --> 01:23:46,717
- You don't say?
- Molly.
2087
01:23:46,719 --> 01:23:48,483
Who could've possibly seen that
coming?
2088
01:23:48,485 --> 01:23:50,184
- Let's have the conversation.
- It will be short.
2089
01:23:50,186 --> 01:23:51,784
Because I don't know anything
at all that can help them.
2090
01:23:51,786 --> 01:23:53,418
You don't know anything that can
help them convict
2091
01:23:53,420 --> 01:23:55,084
the Russians, but you
know things that can help them.
2092
01:23:55,086 --> 01:23:57,550
Did you know that
97 percent of Federal cases
2093
01:23:57,552 --> 01:23:58,783
never make it to trial?
2094
01:23:58,785 --> 01:24:00,549
Even though the chances
of being convicted
2095
01:24:00,551 --> 01:24:01,917
at trial is a little more than
one in a hundred?
2096
01:24:01,919 --> 01:24:03,716
If you want to go
to trial, that's fine.
2097
01:24:03,718 --> 01:24:06,083
But it's gonna cost you
in the area of $3,500,000
2098
01:24:06,085 --> 01:24:08,151
Which the Justice Department
knows I don't have
2099
01:24:08,153 --> 01:24:09,482
because they took
all of my money
2100
01:24:09,484 --> 01:24:10,984
in a civil forfeiture
which they can do
2101
01:24:10,986 --> 01:24:13,116
without a warrant,
because my property
2102
01:24:13,118 --> 01:24:14,749
doesn't have a presumption
of innocence.
2103
01:24:14,751 --> 01:24:17,017
Then after I'm arrested
by 17 agents
2104
01:24:17,019 --> 01:24:19,418
holding automatic weapons,
totally necessary
2105
01:24:19,419 --> 01:24:20,884
not at all meant
to intimidate me.
2106
01:24:20,886 --> 01:24:22,916
I'm given two days
to hire a lawyer
2107
01:24:22,918 --> 01:24:24,917
and appear in a courtroom on
the other side of the country.
2108
01:24:24,919 --> 01:24:26,650
If you're saying
that everything that happens
2109
01:24:26,652 --> 01:24:28,583
from the moment
you are arrested is designed
2110
01:24:28,585 --> 01:24:30,584
to persuade you to plead guilty,
you are correct.
2111
01:24:30,586 --> 01:24:32,284
So tell me all the ways
I can help
2112
01:24:32,286 --> 01:24:33,951
'cause I really feel
I owe it to them.
2113
01:24:33,953 --> 01:24:35,450
Oh, speaking of owing
2114
01:24:35,452 --> 01:24:37,917
the IRS put a tax lien
on the money they took from me.
2115
01:24:37,919 --> 01:24:40,482
Are you ki... Alright.
None of that matters.
2116
01:24:40,484 --> 01:24:42,184
Taking my money wasn't a tax
2117
01:24:42,186 --> 01:24:44,084
I also need
to give them my money.
2118
01:24:44,086 --> 01:24:45,717
- Or they will take it again.
- None of that matters.
2119
01:24:45,719 --> 01:24:47,449
- It needed to be said.
- Not really.
2120
01:24:47,451 --> 01:24:49,350
So, to be clear, you're not
interested in entering
2121
01:24:49,352 --> 01:24:50,883
a cooperation agreement
with the prosecutors?
2122
01:24:50,885 --> 01:24:53,450
If I had testimony that would
lead to the conviction
2123
01:24:53,452 --> 01:24:55,217
of a bad guy, no one would have
2124
01:24:55,219 --> 01:24:56,884
to coerce me into cooperating.
2125
01:24:56,886 --> 01:25:01,051
But I don't. I have dirt.
I have dish. I have gossip.
2126
01:25:01,053 --> 01:25:02,482
So my value to the prosecution
2127
01:25:02,484 --> 01:25:05,016
is exactly the same
as it is to Hollywood.
2128
01:25:05,018 --> 01:25:08,151
I'm here to ensure the
New York Post covers the trial.
2129
01:25:08,153 --> 01:25:09,449
I'm here to sell tickets.
2130
01:25:09,451 --> 01:25:11,683
Which is nonetheless
value to the prosecution.
2131
01:25:11,685 --> 01:25:14,117
So what we do
is leverage it to get
2132
01:25:14,119 --> 01:25:15,584
you a favorable sentencing
recommendation
2133
01:25:15,586 --> 01:25:18,983
or, better yet,
complete immunity. What?
2134
01:25:18,985 --> 01:25:20,584
Oh. Hey, honey.
2135
01:25:20,586 --> 01:25:22,553
- Hey, Stella.
- Hey.
2136
01:25:23,119 --> 01:25:24,151
Hey.
2137
01:25:24,153 --> 01:25:25,549
What does he have you doing now?
2138
01:25:25,551 --> 01:25:26,883
An essay on three poems
2139
01:25:26,885 --> 01:25:28,549
with what he believes
are a common theme.
2140
01:25:28,551 --> 01:25:30,883
Not an essay. Two paragraphs.
2141
01:25:30,885 --> 01:25:33,383
- Which three poems?
- Close, Rush and Walls.
2142
01:25:33,385 --> 01:25:36,349
Oh, I know those.
What's the common theme?
2143
01:25:36,351 --> 01:25:37,884
Things with one word titles.
2144
01:25:37,886 --> 01:25:39,917
Are you sure you're qualified
to be teaching poetry?
2145
01:25:39,919 --> 01:25:41,849
Hang on... And yes.
2146
01:25:41,851 --> 01:25:44,716
Anytime you wanna run away from
home, you can come live with me.
2147
01:25:44,718 --> 01:25:46,616
Charlie : Then you'll discover
she doesn't have a home
2148
01:25:46,618 --> 01:25:48,950
and you'll come back to me.
2149
01:25:48,952 --> 01:25:50,483
This is good. Great.
2150
01:25:50,485 --> 01:25:52,250
Why don't you grab a snack
and start your homework
2151
01:25:52,252 --> 01:25:53,283
in one of the conference rooms?
2152
01:25:53,285 --> 01:25:54,849
Okay. See ya.
2153
01:25:54,851 --> 01:25:56,683
There's no law that says you
can't just hit him in the head.
2154
01:25:56,685 --> 01:25:58,317
There is a law that says that,
it's the first thing
2155
01:25:58,319 --> 01:25:59,716
I taught her to read.
2156
01:25:59,718 --> 01:26:00,786
Go.
2157
01:26:02,451 --> 01:26:03,785
(door closes)
2158
01:26:06,686 --> 01:26:09,482
My father used
to give us extra work.
2159
01:26:09,484 --> 01:26:11,516
Can I ask you a question?
2160
01:26:11,518 --> 01:26:13,983
You think I'm too hard on her?
2161
01:26:13,985 --> 01:26:17,083
I met a girl when I first moved
to L.A., she was 22.
2162
01:26:17,085 --> 01:26:19,249
Someone arranged through
a third party
2163
01:26:19,251 --> 01:26:20,550
to spend the weekend
with her in London.
2164
01:26:20,552 --> 01:26:21,884
You know what she got?
2165
01:26:21,886 --> 01:26:24,116
For a weekend? Five grand.
2166
01:26:24,118 --> 01:26:27,517
A bag. A Chanel bag she wanted.
2167
01:26:27,519 --> 01:26:31,253
Whatever you're doing
with Stella, double it.
2168
01:26:38,552 --> 01:26:40,686
Where's your father in all this?
2169
01:26:43,053 --> 01:26:44,849
You mean, physically?
2170
01:26:44,851 --> 01:26:47,485
He's in Colorado.
2171
01:26:49,886 --> 01:26:51,783
Your parents still together?
2172
01:26:51,785 --> 01:26:53,317
No.
2173
01:26:53,319 --> 01:26:55,784
You and your father close?
2174
01:26:55,786 --> 01:26:57,016
No.
2175
01:26:57,018 --> 01:26:59,583
Was he tough on you?
2176
01:26:59,585 --> 01:27:01,215
You know how many girls
at the Olympics
2177
01:27:01,217 --> 01:27:02,817
have demanding fathers?
2178
01:27:02,819 --> 01:27:05,720
- All of them?
- Well, that's right.
2179
01:27:08,484 --> 01:27:11,050
I was tough on him.
2180
01:27:11,052 --> 01:27:12,616
What do you mean?
2181
01:27:12,618 --> 01:27:15,183
Um...
2182
01:27:15,185 --> 01:27:17,553
I was a brat.
2183
01:27:20,351 --> 01:27:22,253
Charlie :
Fathers don't care.
2184
01:27:23,985 --> 01:27:27,483
- I'd start fights with him.
- Why?
2185
01:27:27,485 --> 01:27:29,884
Charlene :
You're lying!
2186
01:27:29,886 --> 01:27:31,717
Molly : Why would I
start fights with him?
2187
01:27:31,719 --> 01:27:33,282
Charlie :
Yeah.
2188
01:27:33,284 --> 01:27:34,819
Charlene :
I put you through grad school!
2189
01:27:36,752 --> 01:27:38,317
I raised the kids.
2190
01:27:38,319 --> 01:27:42,450
I did every... God, everything!
2191
01:27:42,452 --> 01:27:43,517
No.
2192
01:27:43,519 --> 01:27:45,250
No, you listen to me.
2193
01:27:45,252 --> 01:27:47,450
All you do is cheat on me,
and lie to me
2194
01:27:47,452 --> 01:27:49,286
and lie to the kids!
2195
01:27:50,619 --> 01:27:53,186
You lie to your wife
and you lie to your kids.
2196
01:27:55,819 --> 01:27:57,752
I don't know.
2197
01:28:00,551 --> 01:28:03,082
For the record, the law in 1955
2198
01:28:03,084 --> 01:28:05,849
that I'm accused of breaking it,
defines gambling as betting
2199
01:28:05,851 --> 01:28:07,516
on games of chance.
2200
01:28:07,518 --> 01:28:09,215
- Yes.
- Poker isn't a game of chance.
2201
01:28:09,217 --> 01:28:11,382
Roulette's a game of chance.
2202
01:28:11,384 --> 01:28:15,216
- Poker's a game of skill.
- Still, I me...
2203
01:28:15,218 --> 01:28:17,553
I'll tell them everything
they want to know about me.
2204
01:28:19,786 --> 01:28:21,719
About me.
2205
01:28:22,785 --> 01:28:24,719
That's it.
2206
01:28:28,519 --> 01:28:30,583
Molly :
Remember Bad Brad Marion?
2207
01:28:30,585 --> 01:28:33,316
It turns out his $700,000,000
hedge fund
2208
01:28:33,318 --> 01:28:35,884
wasn't what you would
call... real.
2209
01:28:35,886 --> 01:28:37,517
It was a Ponzi scheme.
2210
01:28:37,519 --> 01:28:39,649
He'd been falsely reporting
profits for years.
2211
01:28:39,651 --> 01:28:41,849
He wasn't even registered
with the SEC.
2212
01:28:41,851 --> 01:28:43,884
With the money given to him
by friends and family
2213
01:28:43,886 --> 01:28:45,849
and players at the game,
he bought several
2214
01:28:45,851 --> 01:28:47,216
Malibu Beach Houses
2215
01:28:47,218 --> 01:28:48,951
an airplane hanger
full of cars
2216
01:28:48,953 --> 01:28:51,917
another one with an airplane,
and a life he wanted.
2217
01:28:51,919 --> 01:28:54,982
When he was arrested,
he had $740 in the bank.
2218
01:28:54,984 --> 01:28:57,516
Brad cooperated with the FBI
and gave them hours
2219
01:28:57,518 --> 01:28:59,749
of testimony
on a range of subjects.
2220
01:28:59,751 --> 01:29:01,382
Including how three years
earlier
2221
01:29:01,384 --> 01:29:03,549
he lost $5,200,000
2222
01:29:03,551 --> 01:29:05,550
in an underground
celebrity poker game
2223
01:29:05,552 --> 01:29:08,016
that was run by a girl
named Molly Bloom.
2224
01:29:08,018 --> 01:29:09,350
His story was that
I had induced him
2225
01:29:09,352 --> 01:29:11,050
to play in a high stakes game.
2226
01:29:11,052 --> 01:29:12,650
I just wanted to introduce you
to Brad Marion.
2227
01:29:12,652 --> 01:29:14,082
Molly :
And that due to my enabling
2228
01:29:14,084 --> 01:29:15,416
he'd become a gambling addict.
2229
01:29:15,418 --> 01:29:17,482
...who made me
become a gambling addict.
2230
01:29:17,484 --> 01:29:18,883
Brad, this game might
not be for you.
2231
01:29:18,885 --> 01:29:20,450
Molly :
Federal Bankruptcy lawyers
2232
01:29:20,452 --> 01:29:21,816
were brought in to recover
as much
2233
01:29:21,818 --> 01:29:23,850
of the boosted money
as they could.
2234
01:29:23,852 --> 01:29:26,983
I was sent a subpoena and flew
out to L.A. to be deposed.
2235
01:29:26,985 --> 01:29:29,250
Can you confirm
the names on the list
2236
01:29:29,252 --> 01:29:31,316
all played poker
with Brad Marion?
2237
01:29:31,318 --> 01:29:33,317
This list was provided
to you by Brad Marion?
2238
01:29:33,319 --> 01:29:34,817
I just need you
to confirm for the record
2239
01:29:34,819 --> 01:29:36,882
that your game included
but was not limited to...
2240
01:29:36,884 --> 01:29:39,482
I understand, what I'm trying
to get on the record is that
2241
01:29:39,484 --> 01:29:42,416
I'm not the one
who provided the list.
2242
01:29:42,418 --> 01:29:44,951
These names were provided
by Brad Marion.
2243
01:29:46,351 --> 01:29:48,784
female #3 :
So, under oath...
2244
01:29:48,786 --> 01:29:52,116
Yes. I can confirm
the list is accurate.
2245
01:29:52,118 --> 01:29:54,583
Molly : The L.A. players
and I were given a choice.
2246
01:29:54,585 --> 01:29:57,049
Testify against each other
in open court
2247
01:29:57,051 --> 01:30:00,783
or help make restitution to the
victims of Brad's Ponzi scheme.
2248
01:30:00,785 --> 01:30:03,983
I wrote the government
a check for $500,000 dollars.
2249
01:30:03,985 --> 01:30:07,050
And somewhere in an FBI field
office in New York
2250
01:30:07,052 --> 01:30:09,886
someone was pinning
my picture to a wall.
2251
01:30:11,352 --> 01:30:12,949
I was running six games a week
2252
01:30:12,951 --> 01:30:15,584
sometimes at two different
locations in a night.
2253
01:30:15,586 --> 01:30:19,016
And by this point,
I was addicted to drugs.
2254
01:30:19,018 --> 01:30:21,283
Adderall. Ambien. Xanax. Coke.
2255
01:30:21,285 --> 01:30:24,316
Alcohol, Valium,
Ativan, Trazadone.
2256
01:30:24,318 --> 01:30:27,483
Anything that could keep me up
for a few days
2257
01:30:27,485 --> 01:30:29,952
and knock me out
for a few hours.
2258
01:30:32,652 --> 01:30:35,816
But I wasn't just taking them
to stay awake anymore.
2259
01:30:35,818 --> 01:30:39,983
It was dark and friendless
where I was.
2260
01:30:39,985 --> 01:30:43,216
I felt like I was in a hole
so deep, I could go fracking.
2261
01:30:43,218 --> 01:30:46,915
It didn't feel like depression,
it felt more violent.
2262
01:30:46,917 --> 01:30:48,382
(indistinct chatter)
2263
01:30:48,384 --> 01:30:50,049
I was tired of living
in the frat house
2264
01:30:50,051 --> 01:30:51,650
I'd built for degenerates.
2265
01:30:51,652 --> 01:30:54,015
I was tired of the greed.
2266
01:30:54,017 --> 01:30:56,949
Mine, not theirs. Everybody's.
2267
01:30:56,951 --> 01:30:58,883
I was sick
of being high all the time.
2268
01:30:58,885 --> 01:31:01,149
I was sick
of living in the grey area.
2269
01:31:01,151 --> 01:31:02,749
I couldn't recognize myself
2270
01:31:02,751 --> 01:31:05,253
and what I recognized,
I couldn't stand.
2271
01:31:06,784 --> 01:31:09,516
After a game one night,
Douglas Downey surprised me
2272
01:31:09,518 --> 01:31:11,282
with a confession,
after opening
2273
01:31:11,284 --> 01:31:13,083
with another
detective story title.
2274
01:31:13,085 --> 01:31:15,350
Gut shot on the river.
2275
01:31:15,352 --> 01:31:17,716
- I want to say something.
- Okay.
2276
01:31:17,718 --> 01:31:21,683
- I want to say, um, something.
- Okay.
2277
01:31:21,685 --> 01:31:23,882
- I'm just gonna say...
- Cool.
2278
01:31:23,884 --> 01:31:28,449
Because there's a poem,
a famous, uh...
2279
01:31:28,451 --> 01:31:31,283
A poem about...
2280
01:31:31,285 --> 01:31:33,683
thoughts left unexpressed.
2281
01:31:33,685 --> 01:31:37,419
Two roads emerged
from the woods.
2282
01:31:38,717 --> 01:31:40,652
Do they explode?
2283
01:31:41,785 --> 01:31:44,949
I don't know.
Do you like poetry?
2284
01:31:44,951 --> 01:31:46,583
I did until a second ago.
I'm gonna call you...
2285
01:31:46,585 --> 01:31:48,719
I'm, I'm in love with you.
2286
01:31:50,918 --> 01:31:53,915
- This isn't happening.
- Plain and simple.
2287
01:31:53,917 --> 01:31:56,383
You're the woman
I've always dreamed of
2288
01:31:56,385 --> 01:31:57,649
and I've been dreaming...
2289
01:31:57,651 --> 01:31:59,849
Shh. Stop it.
Listen to me, Douglas.
2290
01:31:59,851 --> 01:32:02,249
I'm the woman all of you
have always dreamed of.
2291
01:32:02,251 --> 01:32:05,215
I'm the anti-wife.
I encourage your gambling.
2292
01:32:05,217 --> 01:32:06,749
I have drinks served
to you by models
2293
01:32:06,751 --> 01:32:09,215
who simultaneously
create the impression
2294
01:32:09,217 --> 01:32:10,883
that you're the kind of guy
who can score
2295
01:32:10,885 --> 01:32:12,382
a dime piece anytime you want.
2296
01:32:12,384 --> 01:32:14,950
It's nice for you in here.
2297
01:32:14,952 --> 01:32:17,082
Do you know who Circe was?
2298
01:32:17,084 --> 01:32:20,748
- Uh...
- Circe?
2299
01:32:20,750 --> 01:32:22,550
Used to play
in Teddy Chin's game?
2300
01:32:22,552 --> 01:32:25,783
Nope. Circe did not play
in Teddy's game.
2301
01:32:25,785 --> 01:32:27,683
She was the Greek goddess
of magic.
2302
01:32:27,685 --> 01:32:30,683
And she gave men feasts
with wine and honey
2303
01:32:30,685 --> 01:32:32,615
and then turned them into swine.
2304
01:32:32,617 --> 01:32:36,382
- Why?
- Fantastic question.
2305
01:32:36,384 --> 01:32:39,249
I would never do that to you.
2306
01:32:39,251 --> 01:32:41,549
Missed the point by miles,
but that's okay.
2307
01:32:41,551 --> 01:32:43,682
Oh.
2308
01:32:43,684 --> 01:32:45,349
Um, Molly.
2309
01:32:45,351 --> 01:32:48,882
Shelby and Winston
will close up.
2310
01:32:48,884 --> 01:32:50,520
I'll see you next week.
2311
01:32:56,218 --> 01:32:58,183
Here you go,
thanks a lot, Randy.
2312
01:32:58,185 --> 01:32:59,615
Thanks, Molly.
2313
01:32:59,617 --> 01:33:02,449
- Good morning.
- Morning, Pat.
2314
01:33:02,451 --> 01:33:06,082
Molly :
Pat was my driver and security.
2315
01:33:06,084 --> 01:33:07,915
- Straight home?
- Yeah.
2316
01:33:07,917 --> 01:33:09,516
Molly : We didn't know
much more about each other
2317
01:33:09,518 --> 01:33:11,816
than we needed to know,
but I liked him.
2318
01:33:11,818 --> 01:33:13,751
We were friends.
2319
01:33:19,451 --> 01:33:23,417
I used to be
a competitive athlete.
2320
01:33:23,419 --> 01:33:24,882
I didn't know if you knew that.
2321
01:33:24,884 --> 01:33:27,016
What sport?
2322
01:33:27,018 --> 01:33:29,082
Skiing.
2323
01:33:29,084 --> 01:33:31,316
Freestyle.
2324
01:33:31,318 --> 01:33:33,452
Pat :
Were you good?
2325
01:33:35,385 --> 01:33:37,518
I don't know.
2326
01:33:44,385 --> 01:33:46,283
- Hey, Molly.
- Pat asked me a favor.
2327
01:33:46,285 --> 01:33:48,349
Molly : He said there were a
couple of hedge fund guys
2328
01:33:48,351 --> 01:33:49,982
in New Jersey
who wanted to play
2329
01:33:49,984 --> 01:33:52,015
and he could score points
with them if he was able
2330
01:33:52,017 --> 01:33:53,282
to get them a meeting with me.
2331
01:33:53,284 --> 01:33:54,949
I said, "Sure," and set
the meeting
2332
01:33:54,951 --> 01:33:58,049
for 5 p.m. on a Thursday
at the Four Seasons Bar.
2333
01:33:58,051 --> 01:33:59,748
Knowing that if they were legit
2334
01:33:59,750 --> 01:34:01,883
they'd recognize someone
in the crowd at happy hour
2335
01:34:01,885 --> 01:34:04,016
at the Four Seasons right after
the closing bell.
2336
01:34:04,018 --> 01:34:06,583
It turns out I didn't
need to be that clever.
2337
01:34:06,585 --> 01:34:08,316
These weren't finance guys.
2338
01:34:08,318 --> 01:34:10,149
They were from the cast
of "Jersey Boys."
2339
01:34:10,151 --> 01:34:12,283
They looked around the bar
self-consciously.
2340
01:34:12,285 --> 01:34:13,648
They were out of their element.
2341
01:34:13,650 --> 01:34:15,183
And tough guys
try to look tougher
2342
01:34:15,185 --> 01:34:16,548
when they're insecure.
2343
01:34:16,550 --> 01:34:17,882
I had a good hunch
what they wanted
2344
01:34:17,884 --> 01:34:19,482
and I was gonna have
to shut down
2345
01:34:19,484 --> 01:34:21,350
this meeting quickly,
but without being rude
2346
01:34:21,352 --> 01:34:23,749
to Joey Bag-a-Donuts
and Secaucus Sal.
2347
01:34:23,751 --> 01:34:25,382
I'm Molly Bloom.
Nice to meet you.
2348
01:34:25,384 --> 01:34:27,050
- John G.
- And you are?
2349
01:34:27,052 --> 01:34:28,719
Paul.
2350
01:34:29,785 --> 01:34:32,415
John G. :
How do we get a drink?
2351
01:34:32,417 --> 01:34:34,382
Molly : I don't remember
what the other guy ordered
2352
01:34:34,384 --> 01:34:35,783
but I'll never forget
what John G had.
2353
01:34:35,785 --> 01:34:37,415
He looked at the waiter
as if to say
2354
01:34:37,417 --> 01:34:38,848
that he could handle
himself just fine
2355
01:34:38,850 --> 01:34:40,849
among the Manhattan elite
and said...
2356
01:34:40,851 --> 01:34:42,785
I'll have an Appletini.
2357
01:34:44,383 --> 01:34:46,615
- Okay.
- So, how was your week?
2358
01:34:46,617 --> 01:34:49,950
My week? Uh, it was fine.
Thank you.
2359
01:34:49,952 --> 01:34:54,448
Pat said you guys might
be interested in a game?
2360
01:34:54,450 --> 01:34:57,216
We want to partner
with you.
2361
01:34:57,218 --> 01:34:59,715
- We've talked to Tutti, Will...
- Teddy Chin.
2362
01:34:59,717 --> 01:35:01,016
Teddy Chin.
2363
01:35:01,018 --> 01:35:03,381
We did a little work
with them too.
2364
01:35:03,383 --> 01:35:05,518
We can make
your life easier.
2365
01:35:07,383 --> 01:35:09,915
Nobody will fuck with you.
2366
01:35:09,917 --> 01:35:11,851
Nobody will stiff you.
2367
01:35:14,817 --> 01:35:19,615
I appreciate the offer,
but really, I'm fine.
2368
01:35:19,617 --> 01:35:22,415
I don't carry a big debt sheet.
I feel safe.
2369
01:35:22,417 --> 01:35:25,482
Ah-uh, you lied just then
2370
01:35:25,484 --> 01:35:27,815
when you said you don't carry
a big debt sheet.
2371
01:35:27,817 --> 01:35:30,149
You've got 2.8 million
on the street right now
2372
01:35:30,151 --> 01:35:31,783
right as we're sitting here.
2373
01:35:31,785 --> 01:35:33,416
We do our research.
2374
01:35:33,418 --> 01:35:35,415
That money should be
in your hands.
2375
01:35:35,417 --> 01:35:39,183
'Cause it's yours. It's yours.
2376
01:35:39,185 --> 01:35:40,548
And if you don't have it,
you got
2377
01:35:40,550 --> 01:35:42,685
to go into your pocket
to pay the wins.
2378
01:35:44,283 --> 01:35:46,349
Fellas, I'm sorry.
2379
01:35:46,351 --> 01:35:49,348
It's just a friendly game
with higher stakes.
2380
01:35:49,350 --> 01:35:51,248
It was really nice
to meet you though.
2381
01:35:51,250 --> 01:35:53,548
Let me know if there's ever
anything I can do for you.
2382
01:35:53,550 --> 01:35:55,582
I like to do favors.
2383
01:35:55,584 --> 01:35:58,249
They'll put your drinks
on my card.
2384
01:35:58,251 --> 01:35:59,916
Molly : There are some
gaps in my memory
2385
01:35:59,918 --> 01:36:01,582
which they say is common
when you've had
2386
01:36:01,584 --> 01:36:02,950
what's called, an event.
2387
01:36:02,952 --> 01:36:04,783
For instance, I don't remember
where I was
2388
01:36:04,785 --> 01:36:06,950
coming from when I walked
into my building.
2389
01:36:06,952 --> 01:36:08,949
Just that my doorman, Reggie,
said he had packages for me.
2390
01:36:08,951 --> 01:36:10,183
Ms. Bloom, I think
I got some things
2391
01:36:10,185 --> 01:36:11,281
for you in the package room.
2392
01:36:11,283 --> 01:36:12,848
- I'll bring them on up.
- Thanks.
2393
01:36:12,850 --> 01:36:14,349
Molly : It was the first
night of two weeks off
2394
01:36:14,351 --> 01:36:16,214
for Christmas and New Year's.
2395
01:36:16,216 --> 01:36:20,449
And my plan was to take a bath
and try not to take drugs.
2396
01:36:20,451 --> 01:36:22,882
Reggie came up
with my packages.
2397
01:36:22,884 --> 01:36:25,251
(intense music)
2398
01:36:26,617 --> 01:36:29,481
Ahh, I'm sorry,
you're in the wrong...
2399
01:36:29,483 --> 01:36:31,584
Wait! Okay, hold on a second,
I have...
2400
01:36:36,317 --> 01:36:37,952
Not a sound.
2401
01:36:41,818 --> 01:36:43,115
Do you hear me?
2402
01:36:43,117 --> 01:36:45,015
I have money. It's all cash.
2403
01:36:45,017 --> 01:36:47,316
- Where?
- S-safe.
2404
01:36:47,318 --> 01:36:48,649
Where is it?
2405
01:36:48,651 --> 01:36:50,852
- It's in the closet.
- Show me.
2406
01:37:08,685 --> 01:37:11,185
Put the money
and jewelry in a bag.
2407
01:37:12,251 --> 01:37:14,952
(dramatic music)
2408
01:37:20,084 --> 01:37:22,218
Gold bars too.
2409
01:37:31,150 --> 01:37:32,214
Come on.
2410
01:37:32,216 --> 01:37:35,782
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
2411
01:37:35,784 --> 01:37:39,616
It wasn't an offer they made.
It wasn't a suggestion.
2412
01:37:39,618 --> 01:37:42,615
This will be
your only reminder.
2413
01:37:42,617 --> 01:37:47,552
Your mother lives alone
in Telluride, Colorado. Right?
2414
01:37:49,984 --> 01:37:53,284
Right? Right, Molly?
2415
01:37:54,251 --> 01:37:55,682
She doesn't live there anymore.
2416
01:37:55,684 --> 01:37:57,618
Yes, she does.
2417
01:38:59,250 --> 01:39:03,015
Molly : I couldn't call a
doctor or go to an E.R.
2418
01:39:03,017 --> 01:39:05,552
They'd take one look at me
and call the police.
2419
01:39:12,618 --> 01:39:15,516
My eyes were swollen and black.
2420
01:39:15,518 --> 01:39:18,281
My lips were cut and bloody.
2421
01:39:18,283 --> 01:39:20,418
I couldn't feel my face.
2422
01:39:47,050 --> 01:39:50,184
(instrumental music)
2423
01:39:58,717 --> 01:40:00,716
Pat had set up the meeting
2424
01:40:00,718 --> 01:40:03,217
and he was how they knew
where I lived.
2425
01:40:06,116 --> 01:40:08,449
I stayed in my apartment
for two weeks
2426
01:40:08,451 --> 01:40:10,416
waiting for my face to heal...
2427
01:40:10,418 --> 01:40:13,252
and waiting for the phone call
I knew was coming.
2428
01:40:14,651 --> 01:40:17,015
But the call didn't come.
2429
01:40:17,017 --> 01:40:19,448
Where was the call from John G?
2430
01:40:19,450 --> 01:40:21,751
"So maybe you've had
a change of heart?"
2431
01:40:24,751 --> 01:40:27,884
After ten days, I opened my
front door for the first time.
2432
01:40:30,916 --> 01:40:33,748
People were coming back into
town after New Years in Cabo
2433
01:40:33,750 --> 01:40:36,251
and St. Bart's,
and South Beach.
2434
01:40:38,150 --> 01:40:41,683
My phone was blowing up with,
"When's the next game?"
2435
01:40:41,685 --> 01:40:43,818
But nothing from John G.
2436
01:40:45,517 --> 01:40:47,715
And then right there
on the front page
2437
01:40:47,717 --> 01:40:51,049
of the New York Times
from eight days ago...
2438
01:40:51,051 --> 01:40:54,884
nearly a 125 arrested
in sweeping mob roundup.
2439
01:40:56,184 --> 01:40:58,248
Those guys
were either laying low
2440
01:40:58,250 --> 01:41:00,381
or they were in custody.
2441
01:41:00,383 --> 01:41:02,851
Sometimes God happens fast.
2442
01:41:05,283 --> 01:41:07,481
My face had healed enough,
so that a little make-up
2443
01:41:07,483 --> 01:41:09,684
would cover the bruises
that were left.
2444
01:41:10,884 --> 01:41:13,215
I put together
a week of games.
2445
01:41:13,217 --> 01:41:16,615
One week of games to get
the 2.8 million I was owed
2446
01:41:16,617 --> 01:41:19,516
and then I was out, I was done.
2447
01:41:19,518 --> 01:41:22,381
One week of epic games.
2448
01:41:22,383 --> 01:41:24,281
I had some of my
London players in town
2449
01:41:24,283 --> 01:41:26,814
and the Russians had
visiting friends from Moscow.
2450
01:41:26,816 --> 01:41:29,681
Jesse and Shelby had already
started the game at the Plaza
2451
01:41:29,683 --> 01:41:32,415
and were reporting
heavy early action.
2452
01:41:32,417 --> 01:41:35,049
I was on my way
when the phone rang.
2453
01:41:35,051 --> 01:41:37,185
It was Douglas Downey.
2454
01:41:38,384 --> 01:41:39,948
I'm on my way, Doug.
2455
01:41:39,950 --> 01:41:42,747
Douglas :
Wait, Molly. Wait.
2456
01:41:42,749 --> 01:41:44,448
I'm hiding in the bathroom.
2457
01:41:44,450 --> 01:41:46,214
I just... I-I need you
to believe me, okay?
2458
01:41:46,216 --> 01:41:47,648
- I just...
- Whose bathroom?
2459
01:41:47,650 --> 01:41:49,148
I need you to believe me
because, uh...
2460
01:41:49,150 --> 01:41:51,415
Uh, at the suite, at the plaza.
2461
01:41:51,417 --> 01:41:52,814
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2462
01:41:52,816 --> 01:41:55,481
I would never tell them
anything about you.
2463
01:41:55,483 --> 01:41:57,747
I said, "Guys,
you want me to go further
2464
01:41:57,749 --> 01:42:00,948
"you want me to go other
places, I'll do it.
2465
01:42:00,950 --> 01:42:04,449
"But nothing about Molly,
she can't be touched.
2466
01:42:04,451 --> 01:42:06,782
- Just the Russians."
- Okay, you're drunk.
2467
01:42:06,784 --> 01:42:08,981
And a little difficult
to understand
2468
01:42:08,983 --> 01:42:10,915
so I'll see you in a few minutes
when I get there.
2469
01:42:10,917 --> 01:42:12,949
I was, uh...
2470
01:42:12,951 --> 01:42:15,584
I was... uh...
2471
01:42:17,518 --> 01:42:20,182
I was cited
for securities fraud.
2472
01:42:20,184 --> 01:42:21,847
It was scrubbed from my record.
2473
01:42:21,849 --> 01:42:24,515
- That's why you don't know.
- Did you say Securities Fraud?
2474
01:42:24,517 --> 01:42:26,548
I would never help them
build a case against you
2475
01:42:26,550 --> 01:42:29,982
I would have never give them
anything against you
2476
01:42:29,984 --> 01:42:32,515
I'd commit perjury
before I did that.
2477
01:42:32,517 --> 01:42:35,281
It was such bullshit,
it was 2006.
2478
01:42:35,283 --> 01:42:36,848
If you'd had an arrest,
I would've known.
2479
01:42:36,850 --> 01:42:39,115
- It was bullshit!
- Doug.
2480
01:42:39,117 --> 01:42:40,881
I told them I'll go further
2481
01:42:40,883 --> 01:42:44,348
I'll go other places,
but not you.
2482
01:42:44,350 --> 01:42:46,215
I love you, I, I love...
2483
01:42:46,217 --> 01:42:48,681
Doug, listen, I-I need you to
pull it together for a second.
2484
01:42:48,683 --> 01:42:50,881
Did they scrub your record,
because you've been informing?
2485
01:42:50,883 --> 01:42:53,681
Should I...
Should I have told you?
2486
01:42:53,683 --> 01:42:56,882
That's a question that'll,
that'll haunt me for all my...
2487
01:42:56,884 --> 01:42:58,281
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2488
01:42:58,283 --> 01:43:00,416
...for my days, Molly.
2489
01:43:00,418 --> 01:43:04,416
Always know that I was
trying to protect you.
2490
01:43:04,418 --> 01:43:07,918
Molly : Five blocks away,
the FBI had raided my game.
2491
01:43:26,516 --> 01:43:28,014
I fully expected the lobby
to be filled
2492
01:43:28,016 --> 01:43:30,015
with guys wearing windbreakers,
but it wasn't.
2493
01:43:30,017 --> 01:43:32,081
Reggie : Ms. Bloom. Haven't
seen you for a while.
2494
01:43:32,083 --> 01:43:34,384
- Yeah.
- You need a cab?
2495
01:43:40,250 --> 01:43:43,448
I guess you never made it
upstairs with the packages.
2496
01:43:43,450 --> 01:43:46,285
Maybe I didn't tip you enough
before Christmas.
2497
01:43:49,317 --> 01:43:51,949
Harrison : Then you got into
a cab, took the cab to JFK
2498
01:43:51,951 --> 01:43:53,615
and flew to your mother's house
in Denver.
2499
01:43:53,617 --> 01:43:54,915
Molly :
Telluride.
2500
01:43:54,917 --> 01:43:56,747
My mother lives in Telluride.
2501
01:43:56,749 --> 01:43:58,781
- That was two years ago.
- Mm-hmm.
2502
01:43:58,783 --> 01:44:00,382
In a cab on the way
to the airport
2503
01:44:00,384 --> 01:44:02,447
I checked
my bank account balance.
2504
01:44:02,449 --> 01:44:04,148
There should've had a little
over four million dollars
2505
01:44:04,150 --> 01:44:07,415
but instead, it said the balance
was zero, and there was a note
2506
01:44:07,417 --> 01:44:09,515
telling me to contact
the Justice Department.
2507
01:44:09,517 --> 01:44:12,148
I just want to mention that she
also voluntarily checked herself
2508
01:44:12,150 --> 01:44:15,681
into 28-day rehab and has been
sober and clean for two years.
2509
01:44:15,683 --> 01:44:18,715
I don't care. Were the women
that worked for you call girls?
2510
01:44:18,717 --> 01:44:19,881
No, sir.
2511
01:44:19,883 --> 01:44:21,249
They never exchanged
sex for money?
2512
01:44:21,251 --> 01:44:22,547
No.
2513
01:44:22,549 --> 01:44:23,847
Have you ever exchanged
sex for money?
2514
01:44:23,849 --> 01:44:25,915
- No.
- I think he was talking to me.
2515
01:44:25,917 --> 01:44:27,981
I meant, no, she's not
answering that question.
2516
01:44:27,983 --> 01:44:29,781
- The purpose of this meeting...
- I know.
2517
01:44:29,783 --> 01:44:31,182
- Purpose of this meeting...
- We're off the record.
2518
01:44:31,184 --> 01:44:32,281
We're not off the record.
2519
01:44:32,283 --> 01:44:33,982
Do you see
a stenographer in here?
2520
01:44:33,984 --> 01:44:35,781
We're off the record in
as much as there is no record
2521
01:44:35,783 --> 01:44:37,648
but you're free to use
the information you're given
2522
01:44:37,650 --> 01:44:39,781
and we're not giving
the information for free.
2523
01:44:39,783 --> 01:44:41,715
I've been sitting at this table
for five hours
2524
01:44:41,717 --> 01:44:44,548
waiting for the opportunity
to implore you to do
2525
01:44:44,550 --> 01:44:47,881
the right thing while begging my
client for the last three weeks
2526
01:44:47,883 --> 01:44:49,647
to act in her own
best interest.
2527
01:44:49,649 --> 01:44:51,915
Neither of those things
should be hard.
2528
01:44:51,917 --> 01:44:54,448
The purpose of this meeting
is for you to meet Molly Bloom
2529
01:44:54,450 --> 01:44:56,615
and discover, as I have,
that she's not the person
2530
01:44:56,617 --> 01:44:57,847
the press has invented.
2531
01:44:57,849 --> 01:44:59,282
She's not under
Federal indictment
2532
01:44:59,284 --> 01:45:00,848
for getting bad press, Charlie
2533
01:45:00,850 --> 01:45:02,914
and the purpose of the meeting,
for me is to discover
2534
01:45:02,916 --> 01:45:05,248
if your client is willing to
cooperate with the government
2535
01:45:05,250 --> 01:45:07,681
in putting away
some bad people.
2536
01:45:07,683 --> 01:45:08,614
No.
2537
01:45:08,616 --> 01:45:09,881
You're not willing to cooperate?
2538
01:45:09,883 --> 01:45:13,782
Uh, no, I never traded
sex for money.
2539
01:45:13,784 --> 01:45:16,648
I'm still not sure if there's
a record but if there is
2540
01:45:16,650 --> 01:45:19,847
I want it to be certain
that was in it.
2541
01:45:19,849 --> 01:45:21,914
It appears to me throughout
your career as a game runner
2542
01:45:21,916 --> 01:45:23,949
you were extremely diligent
about vetting players.
2543
01:45:23,951 --> 01:45:25,248
I was.
2544
01:45:25,250 --> 01:45:26,480
But you let four guys
play in the game
2545
01:45:26,482 --> 01:45:27,781
without knowing
they were connected?
2546
01:45:27,783 --> 01:45:30,618
Yeah, plus an FBI informant,
it's embarrassing.
2547
01:45:37,583 --> 01:45:41,049
I was high
at the end and...
2548
01:45:41,051 --> 01:45:43,214
doing my job badly.
2549
01:45:43,215 --> 01:45:46,949
I'll also add that in my limited
experience with the Russian mob
2550
01:45:46,951 --> 01:45:51,248
they don't immediately
present themselves as mobsters.
2551
01:45:51,250 --> 01:45:53,648
My experience with the Italian
mob on the other hand...
2552
01:45:53,650 --> 01:45:54,751
Help us.
2553
01:45:56,416 --> 01:45:57,848
I don't know anything
that can help you.
2554
01:45:57,850 --> 01:45:59,748
- Yes. Yes, you do.
- And if I did...
2555
01:45:59,750 --> 01:46:01,782
You can provide color.
You can paint a picture.
2556
01:46:01,784 --> 01:46:03,747
You can tell us Druzhinsky
wore a $100,000
2557
01:46:03,749 --> 01:46:05,414
Patek Philippe
and even drove a Phantom.
2558
01:46:05,416 --> 01:46:07,082
You can tell us Illya Gershen
showed up
2559
01:46:07,084 --> 01:46:09,148
with a quarter million dollars
cash in a backpack and you can
2560
01:46:09,150 --> 01:46:11,247
tell us how much action Shelly
was taking on a sports bet.
2561
01:46:11,249 --> 01:46:14,981
No one was allowed to place
sports bets inside the room.
2562
01:46:14,983 --> 01:46:16,114
They would have to go outside.
2563
01:46:16,116 --> 01:46:17,981
So I had no idea how much
2564
01:46:17,983 --> 01:46:19,648
anyone was taking or laying.
2565
01:46:19,650 --> 01:46:21,415
So now you're saying
you knew they were making
2566
01:46:21,417 --> 01:46:22,582
and taking sports bets.
2567
01:46:22,584 --> 01:46:24,281
That's the point of them
going outside.
2568
01:46:24,283 --> 01:46:26,248
They could have been calling
their mother for all I knew.
2569
01:46:26,250 --> 01:46:28,847
- Molly?
- Yes, sir.
2570
01:46:28,849 --> 01:46:31,248
I don't believe you.
2571
01:46:31,250 --> 01:46:33,515
In Mike Davidoff's phone
intercepts alone
2572
01:46:33,517 --> 01:46:36,547
just Davidoff, your
name comes up 19 times.
2573
01:46:36,549 --> 01:46:38,615
We need Molly... Get
Molly... Bring Molly...
2574
01:46:38,617 --> 01:46:40,481
It strongly suggests
that you were important
2575
01:46:40,483 --> 01:46:42,015
to his business, so it's hard
for me to believe
2576
01:46:42,017 --> 01:46:44,581
that someone with your savvy
and obvious intellect...
2577
01:46:44,583 --> 01:46:47,615
Talking about the drug...
2578
01:46:47,617 --> 01:46:50,347
Get Molly... Bring Molly...
We need Molly...
2579
01:46:50,349 --> 01:46:53,650
It's... They're talking
about the drug ecstasy.
2580
01:46:55,717 --> 01:46:59,048
Shit. My office is next to yours
for two years
2581
01:46:59,050 --> 01:47:01,481
and I've seen you make
some bone-headed moves
2582
01:47:01,483 --> 01:47:03,480
but I've never seen
any prosecutor
2583
01:47:03,482 --> 01:47:06,281
step in it
the way you just did.
2584
01:47:06,283 --> 01:47:07,748
You should thank
all of the Gods that
2585
01:47:07,750 --> 01:47:09,081
there is no physical evidence
of that exchange.
2586
01:47:09,083 --> 01:47:10,848
- Hey, look.
- No, you look.
2587
01:47:10,850 --> 01:47:12,614
Weren't you going to implore me
to do the right thing?
2588
01:47:12,616 --> 01:47:15,949
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment.
2589
01:47:15,951 --> 01:47:17,847
Are you out of your minds?
2590
01:47:17,849 --> 01:47:20,981
She does not belong
in a mob indictment.
2591
01:47:20,983 --> 01:47:24,514
She raked a game, that's it,
for seven months, two years ago.
2592
01:47:24,516 --> 01:47:27,081
And why? Because she was giving
credit in the millions
2593
01:47:27,083 --> 01:47:29,847
and she didn't want to use
muscle to collect.
2594
01:47:29,849 --> 01:47:33,847
She has had opportunity after
opportunity to greatly benefit
2595
01:47:33,849 --> 01:47:37,248
herself by just telling
the real stories that she knows.
2596
01:47:37,250 --> 01:47:40,948
Okay? I have the forensic
imaging going back to 2007.
2597
01:47:40,950 --> 01:47:43,515
And I'm talking
about text messages, emails
2598
01:47:43,517 --> 01:47:46,348
movie stars, rock stars,
athletes, billionaires
2599
01:47:46,350 --> 01:47:48,681
all explicit,
some married with kids
2600
01:47:48,683 --> 01:47:50,581
and that's just
the tip of the iceberg.
2601
01:47:50,583 --> 01:47:52,414
What about the guy
that comes this close
2602
01:47:52,416 --> 01:47:54,314
to being the U.S. Ambassador
to Monaco?
2603
01:47:54,316 --> 01:47:56,949
He's withdrawn from
consideration at the last minute
2604
01:47:56,951 --> 01:47:59,781
no one knows why, she does.
2605
01:47:59,783 --> 01:48:02,281
CEOs with college-aged
mistresses
2606
01:48:02,283 --> 01:48:04,248
an SVP of an investment bank
2607
01:48:04,250 --> 01:48:06,648
who wanted Molly to put
a marked deck in a game.
2608
01:48:06,650 --> 01:48:08,380
The head of a movie studio
that texted her that
2609
01:48:08,382 --> 01:48:11,214
a particular movie star was too
black for his liking, I mean...
2610
01:48:11,216 --> 01:48:15,648
J. Edgar Hoover didn't
have this much shit on Bobby!
2611
01:48:15,650 --> 01:48:17,380
You know, she could
have written a best seller
2612
01:48:17,382 --> 01:48:18,980
and been set for life.
2613
01:48:18,982 --> 01:48:22,013
Easy, she's got the, she's got
the winning lottery ticket
2614
01:48:22,015 --> 01:48:23,850
and she won't cash it.
2615
01:48:25,883 --> 01:48:29,547
Your office took every dollar
she has in a constitutionally
2616
01:48:29,549 --> 01:48:31,615
fucked up seizure
and then put the IRS on her
2617
01:48:31,617 --> 01:48:34,447
to tax what you seized,
I mean...
2618
01:48:34,449 --> 01:48:35,915
I've been in those
strategy meetings.
2619
01:48:35,917 --> 01:48:38,113
You-you broke her back
so she couldn't possibly
2620
01:48:38,115 --> 01:48:39,747
afford to defend herself.
2621
01:48:39,749 --> 01:48:42,582
And now she has an opportunity
to guarantee her freedom
2622
01:48:42,584 --> 01:48:45,647
by "providing color,"
and she still won't do it.
2623
01:48:45,649 --> 01:48:47,914
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment
2624
01:48:47,916 --> 01:48:49,882
she belongs
on a box of Wheaties!
2625
01:48:49,884 --> 01:48:52,981
So, yes, Harrison,
I am imploring you
2626
01:48:52,983 --> 01:48:54,615
to do the right thing.
2627
01:48:54,617 --> 01:48:56,314
She knows nothing
about the three Petes
2628
01:48:56,316 --> 01:49:00,480
nothing about Ragnyada, nothing
about RGO or insurance fraud.
2629
01:49:00,482 --> 01:49:03,248
Between the two of us, we've
appeared in front of this judge
2630
01:49:03,250 --> 01:49:05,681
28 times as prosecutors
and not once
2631
01:49:05,683 --> 01:49:08,381
has he deviated from
our sentencing recommendations
2632
01:49:08,383 --> 01:49:10,684
he's not gonna start now.
2633
01:49:12,750 --> 01:49:15,247
I know you've been putting this
bust together for three years
2634
01:49:15,249 --> 01:49:18,614
and there's no one who doesn't
want to see mobsters go to jail
2635
01:49:18,616 --> 01:49:21,480
including and especially
the one person in the room
2636
01:49:21,482 --> 01:49:25,481
who's had one of them
put a gun in her mouth.
2637
01:49:25,483 --> 01:49:27,515
Probation, community service,
or better yet
2638
01:49:27,517 --> 01:49:28,981
just consider that all she did
2639
01:49:28,983 --> 01:49:31,081
was run a poker game
exactly the same way
2640
01:49:31,083 --> 01:49:35,750
every casino in America does
and drop the God damn charges!
2641
01:49:48,848 --> 01:49:51,184
Anything else
you'd like to add?
2642
01:49:53,116 --> 01:49:54,581
Charlie :
No.
2643
01:49:54,583 --> 01:49:56,883
There's nothing else
she'd like to add.
2644
01:49:58,683 --> 01:50:00,948
Uh, I'd like to talk
to Charlie in private
2645
01:50:00,950 --> 01:50:02,683
if that'd be okay with you?
2646
01:50:04,449 --> 01:50:05,780
Charlie :
Yeah.
2647
01:50:05,782 --> 01:50:07,648
Why don't you just grab
some dinner for an hour
2648
01:50:07,650 --> 01:50:09,783
and meet me back at the office?
2649
01:50:26,083 --> 01:50:28,114
Huh? I'm sorry?
2650
01:50:28,116 --> 01:50:29,750
Did you want a hot dog?
2651
01:50:37,015 --> 01:50:38,949
I'll have a pretzel, please.
2652
01:50:53,050 --> 01:50:56,183
(song on PA)
2653
01:51:12,848 --> 01:51:15,113
Here you go.
2654
01:51:15,115 --> 01:51:19,614
Hi. I would like to rent
a pair of skates, size 7.
2655
01:51:19,616 --> 01:51:22,213
But I don't have any money.
2656
01:51:22,215 --> 01:51:26,846
These are $800 dollar leather
Chanel gloves, I'll trade you.
2657
01:51:26,848 --> 01:51:28,113
$800 dollar gloves?
2658
01:51:28,115 --> 01:51:31,316
And they keep hands just
as warm as the $10 dollar kind.
2659
01:51:33,050 --> 01:51:36,148
- Miss, are you alright?
- I'm fine.
2660
01:51:36,150 --> 01:51:38,214
I'm divesting.

Sorry.
2679
01:52:50,816 --> 01:52:52,816
Takin' you off the ice
right now.
2680
01:52:57,016 --> 01:52:58,184
How's it goin'?
2681
01:53:13,050 --> 01:53:15,415
What're you doing in New York?
2682
01:53:15,417 --> 01:53:16,847
And how'd you know
I was at the skating rink?
2683
01:53:16,849 --> 01:53:20,614
- I'm a doctor of the mind.
- Well, dad...
2684
01:53:20,616 --> 01:53:23,714
I'm here in New York,
because that's where you are.
2685
01:53:23,716 --> 01:53:27,514
I called your mom at the hotel
and she said you were here.
2686
01:53:27,516 --> 01:53:29,714
Listen, it's not a big deal,
but from what I saw out there
2687
01:53:29,716 --> 01:53:31,780
I think you're having
a small breakdown.
2688
01:53:31,782 --> 01:53:33,981
That's weird,
I can't think of why.
2689
01:53:33,983 --> 01:53:36,047
Probably because of the arrest
and not knowing
2690
01:53:36,049 --> 01:53:37,447
what's going to happen next.
2691
01:53:37,449 --> 01:53:40,450
Old man, do you really
not recognize sarcasm?
2692
01:53:41,682 --> 01:53:42,949
Do you?
2693
01:53:44,782 --> 01:53:46,613
Here, drink this.
2694
01:53:46,615 --> 01:53:48,913
I'm an alcoholic, I can't drink,
but thanks for remembering.
2695
01:53:48,915 --> 01:53:50,550
It's hot chocolate.
2696
01:53:51,582 --> 01:53:53,114
Okay.
2697
01:53:53,116 --> 01:53:54,680
And for diagnostic purposes
2698
01:53:54,682 --> 01:53:56,713
do you think that we're on
a cocktail lounge right now?
2699
01:53:56,715 --> 01:53:59,314
Seeing waiters
with trays of champagne?
2700
01:53:59,316 --> 01:54:01,450
Wanna check your pulse.
2701
01:54:07,149 --> 01:54:09,446
- Have you found a pulse?
- Yeah.
2702
01:54:09,448 --> 01:54:11,547
Just admiring my watch.
2703
01:54:11,549 --> 01:54:13,446
I can see you're getting
warmed up, but I really
2704
01:54:13,448 --> 01:54:15,280
don't have the emotional
bandwidth to defend
2705
01:54:15,282 --> 01:54:17,314
my "as usual
irresponsible behavior."
2706
01:54:17,316 --> 01:54:18,880
I know, I got your email.
2707
01:54:18,882 --> 01:54:20,747
I get that I'm not
welcome in your life right now.
2708
01:54:20,749 --> 01:54:22,314
As your father though,
you should know
2709
01:54:22,316 --> 01:54:24,780
I could give a shit
if I'm welcome or not.
2710
01:54:24,782 --> 01:54:28,513
But I'm not here in my capacity
as your father.
2711
01:54:28,515 --> 01:54:31,580
I'm indifferent to whether
your father lives or dies.
2712
01:54:31,582 --> 01:54:33,881
I'm a very expensive therapist
and I'm here to give you
2713
01:54:33,883 --> 01:54:35,781
one free session.
2714
01:54:35,783 --> 01:54:37,913
You think what I need
right now is a therapist?
2715
01:54:37,915 --> 01:54:40,849
Ha-ha-ha. Yeah.
2716
01:54:42,782 --> 01:54:45,449
I have to be back
in my lawyer's office soon.
2717
01:54:47,015 --> 01:54:49,081
Do you like your lawyer?
2718
01:54:49,083 --> 01:54:51,380
I wasn't asking for money
when I called you, dad.
2719
01:54:51,382 --> 01:54:53,214
I just needed my dad.
2720
01:54:53,216 --> 01:54:55,547
God forbid you part
with a nickel.
2721
01:54:55,549 --> 01:54:58,313
Yeah, Tiny Tim, you grew up
on a lake and you've skied
2722
01:54:58,315 --> 01:55:00,314
all over the world,
were those work houses tough?
2723
01:55:00,316 --> 01:55:01,680
- I gotta go.
- Molly.
2724
01:55:01,682 --> 01:55:05,516
- I gotta go.
- Molly, sit the fuck down.
2725
01:55:15,615 --> 01:55:17,314
Alright, we're gonna do
three years of therapy
2726
01:55:17,316 --> 01:55:19,081
in three minutes.
2727
01:55:19,083 --> 01:55:20,379
How?
2728
01:55:20,381 --> 01:55:22,181
I'm gonna do what patients
have been begging
2729
01:55:22,183 --> 01:55:23,380
therapists to do
for a hundred years.
2730
01:55:23,382 --> 01:55:25,847
I'm just gonna give you
the answers.
2731
01:55:25,849 --> 01:55:28,047
- To what?
- Well, let's start with this.
2732
01:55:28,049 --> 01:55:30,113
Why does a young woman,
who, at 22
2733
01:55:30,115 --> 01:55:33,947
has a gold-plated resume,
why does she run poker games?
2734
01:55:33,949 --> 01:55:35,847
Why did I choose
to make a ton of money?
2735
01:55:35,849 --> 01:55:37,047
That's a head scratcher.
2736
01:55:37,049 --> 01:55:39,347
You were gonna be a success
at anything you wanted.
2737
01:55:39,349 --> 01:55:41,814
You know it. If you'd gone
to law school, you'd have...
2738
01:55:41,816 --> 01:55:44,114
You'd have owned
the law firm by now.
2739
01:55:44,116 --> 01:55:46,816
Why did you do
the other thing instead?
2740
01:55:47,448 --> 01:55:50,014
I don't know.
2741
01:55:50,016 --> 01:55:52,280
Drugs.
2742
01:55:52,282 --> 01:55:53,846
You didn't start with the drugs
until the end.
2743
01:55:53,848 --> 01:55:57,379
They weren't the problem,
they were the medicine.
2744
01:55:57,381 --> 01:56:00,382
It was so you could
control powerful men.
2745
01:56:03,049 --> 01:56:07,249
Your addiction was
having power over powerful men.
2746
01:56:11,482 --> 01:56:14,246
- Is that what you really think?
- No.
2747
01:56:14,248 --> 01:56:15,814
I know it for sure.
2748
01:56:15,816 --> 01:56:18,680
You've now completed
your first year of therapy.
2749
01:56:18,682 --> 01:56:20,948
I saw an opportunity,
it wasn't about you.
2750
01:56:20,950 --> 01:56:22,781
Nah, it wasn't just about me.
2751
01:56:22,783 --> 01:56:25,683
- It wasn't at all about you.
- It was.
2752
01:56:26,516 --> 01:56:29,183
Second year, second question.
2753
01:56:32,050 --> 01:56:34,013
Do you think
you were a good husband?
2754
01:56:34,015 --> 01:56:35,514
What do you care?
2755
01:56:35,516 --> 01:56:37,313
I care because you were married
to my mother.
2756
01:56:37,315 --> 01:56:39,279
I care because
my father's an asshole.
2757
01:56:39,281 --> 01:56:41,081
Congratulations.
2758
01:56:41,083 --> 01:56:42,780
You've completed year two.
2759
01:56:42,782 --> 01:56:45,014
And for the record,
your father raised three kids
2760
01:56:45,016 --> 01:56:46,681
on a college professor's salary.
2761
01:56:46,683 --> 01:56:49,313
One of them
is a two-time Olympian
2762
01:56:49,315 --> 01:56:51,580
a sixth round draft pick
of the Philadelphia Eagles
2763
01:56:51,582 --> 01:56:54,112
and a leading philanthropist.
2764
01:56:54,114 --> 01:56:56,846
The other is a cardiothoracic
surgeon at Mass General
2765
01:56:56,848 --> 01:57:00,713
and the third managed to build
a multi million dollar business
2766
01:57:00,715 --> 01:57:03,550
using not much more
than her wits.
2767
01:57:05,382 --> 01:57:07,781
I'm about to plead guilty
in Federal Court.
2768
01:57:07,783 --> 01:57:09,513
Well, nobody's perfect.
2769
01:57:09,515 --> 01:57:12,347
The point is I did
a few things right.
2770
01:57:12,349 --> 01:57:13,747
Last question.
2771
01:57:13,749 --> 01:57:15,180
No. I've to go.
2772
01:57:15,182 --> 01:57:19,216
Last question, Mol. I'll answer
it, but you have to ask it.
2773
01:57:22,014 --> 01:57:24,816
You have... to ask it.
2774
01:57:35,114 --> 01:57:38,147
Why didn't you like me
as much as my brothers?
2775
01:57:38,149 --> 01:57:39,949
There it is.
2776
01:57:42,516 --> 01:57:43,783
I did.
2777
01:57:45,449 --> 01:57:49,180
It only from time to time
appeared that I didn't.
2778
01:57:49,182 --> 01:57:51,246
It only appeared
that you didn't?
2779
01:57:51,248 --> 01:57:52,379
Yeah.
2780
01:57:52,381 --> 01:57:55,380
That is some
Schedule 1 bullshit.
2781
01:57:55,382 --> 01:57:57,646
Why would...
"It only appeared..." What?
2782
01:57:57,648 --> 01:58:00,880
What? O-okay,
I had an attitude problem.
2783
01:58:00,882 --> 01:58:03,514
I talked back, I...
2784
01:58:03,516 --> 01:58:05,546
broke some normal
adolescent rules.
2785
01:58:05,548 --> 01:58:08,279
I snuck phone time after curfew
2786
01:58:08,281 --> 01:58:09,346
I took your car
when I wasn't allowed to.
2787
01:58:09,348 --> 01:58:10,946
You drove it into a McDonalds.
2788
01:58:10,948 --> 01:58:12,279
And kids get punished for that
but they don't...
2789
01:58:12,281 --> 01:58:13,680
Did you not see the McDonalds?
2790
01:58:13,682 --> 01:58:16,012
I mean, did you misunderstand
what drive-thru meant?
2791
01:58:16,014 --> 01:58:18,147
You'd turn into a different
person, your voice, your face...
2792
01:58:18,149 --> 01:58:20,450
It's because
I knew you knew.
2793
01:58:22,382 --> 01:58:24,347
I didn't hear what you said.
2794
01:58:24,349 --> 01:58:26,079
I said...
2795
01:58:26,081 --> 01:58:28,112
"I knew you knew."
2796
01:58:28,114 --> 01:58:29,513
You knew I knew what?
2797
01:58:29,515 --> 01:58:30,979
Larry :
What do you, uh, think about
2798
01:58:30,981 --> 01:58:32,379
the following concepts?
2799
01:58:32,381 --> 01:58:34,881
Just going to run them
by you. Marriage?
2800
01:58:34,883 --> 01:58:37,213
It is a trap.
2801
01:58:37,215 --> 01:58:40,147
That I was cheating on mom.
2802
01:58:40,149 --> 01:58:41,714
I knew you knew.
2803
01:58:41,716 --> 01:58:44,479
- Society?
- It is a joke.
2804
01:58:44,481 --> 01:58:47,314
No. I didn't know
unt-until I was 20.
2805
01:58:47,316 --> 01:58:49,879
- People?
- I don't trust people.
2806
01:58:49,881 --> 01:58:52,180
No, you'd known
since you were five.
2807
01:58:52,182 --> 01:58:55,850
You saw me in my car and you
really didn't know what you saw.
2808
01:58:58,783 --> 01:59:00,550
I don't have any heroes.
2809
01:59:02,949 --> 01:59:06,783
You knew, honey, and I knew
you knew. And that's...
2810
01:59:08,582 --> 01:59:12,246
That's how I reacted
to the shame.
2811
01:59:12,248 --> 01:59:14,845
And you reacted by showing...
2812
01:59:14,847 --> 01:59:17,315
seething contempt for me.
2813
01:59:18,448 --> 01:59:21,580
By driving my car
into McDonalds.
2814
01:59:21,582 --> 01:59:24,012
Wanting to have power over
powerful men?
2815
01:59:24,014 --> 01:59:25,546
No.
2816
01:59:25,548 --> 01:59:28,413
That was a red-herring
just to make you mad.
2817
01:59:28,415 --> 01:59:30,882
- You're such...
- You tripped over a stick.
2818
01:59:32,482 --> 01:59:36,047
Okay? Twelve years ago,
you tripped over a stick.
2819
01:59:36,049 --> 01:59:40,047
It was a one in a million thing.
You tripped over a stick.
2820
01:59:40,049 --> 01:59:42,346
That's what you did wrong.
2821
01:59:42,348 --> 01:59:44,483
There's your session.
2822
01:59:50,148 --> 01:59:52,213
It's funny how much faster
you can go
2823
01:59:52,215 --> 01:59:54,747
when you're not charging
by the hour.
2824
01:59:54,749 --> 01:59:57,280
I'm your father.
2825
01:59:57,282 --> 02:00:00,479
Trying to comprehend
how much I love you
2826
02:00:00,481 --> 02:00:03,346
would be like trying
to visualize the size
2827
02:00:03,348 --> 02:00:05,282
of the universe.
2828
02:00:06,649 --> 02:00:09,013
I didn't know...
2829
02:00:09,015 --> 02:00:12,349
you'd got beaten up
until I read it in your book.
2830
02:00:13,847 --> 02:00:15,414
It was a hell of a way
to learn about it.
2831
02:00:15,416 --> 02:00:18,113
You should know
that I'm hirin' someone
2832
02:00:18,115 --> 02:00:19,246
to find the guy who did it.
2833
02:00:19,248 --> 02:00:21,212
Then, I'm hirin'
someone to kill him.
2834
02:00:21,214 --> 02:00:22,680
Don't even joke about that.
2835
02:00:22,682 --> 02:00:23,948
I'm not.
2836
02:00:25,848 --> 02:00:27,879
It wasn't a purse snatcher, dad.
It was the mafia...
2837
02:00:27,881 --> 02:00:29,846
I don't care
if it's the leader of Hamas.
2838
02:00:29,848 --> 02:00:33,516
Someone put their hands
on you, they're gonna suffer.
2839
02:00:37,416 --> 02:00:40,250
- Dad, I'm fine.
- No, they're gonna suffer.
2840
02:00:41,782 --> 02:00:43,079
Dad...
2841
02:00:43,081 --> 02:00:44,779
- I'm, I'm alright.
- No.
2842
02:00:44,781 --> 02:00:46,416
They're gonna suffer.
2843
02:00:51,149 --> 02:00:52,949
Really, I'm fine.
2844
02:01:18,881 --> 02:01:20,813
- Did you know that...
- Oh!
2845
02:01:20,815 --> 02:01:22,580
I didn't see you.
2846
02:01:22,582 --> 02:01:24,047
Did you know that we know
what the center
2847
02:01:24,049 --> 02:01:27,246
of our galaxy smells like?
2848
02:01:27,248 --> 02:01:30,013
It smells like
rum and raspberries.
2849
02:01:30,015 --> 02:01:31,946
The center of the galaxy
is ethyl formate
2850
02:01:31,948 --> 02:01:34,179
which is the same gas
that gives rum its smell.
2851
02:01:34,181 --> 02:01:36,379
And raspberries their taste.
2852
02:01:36,381 --> 02:01:38,080
Why do you know these things?
2853
02:01:38,082 --> 02:01:40,579
To stay busy during games,
I surfed the internet.
2854
02:01:40,581 --> 02:01:43,580
Then I started
taking online courses.
2855
02:01:43,582 --> 02:01:45,645
I'm 12 credits away
from a degree in Astronomy
2856
02:01:45,647 --> 02:01:47,782
I didn't even know
I was enrolled.
2857
02:01:50,781 --> 02:01:52,879
Hey.
2858
02:01:52,881 --> 02:01:55,548
I wanna thank you
for what you said tonight.
2859
02:01:59,316 --> 02:02:00,781
It was Stella...
2860
02:02:04,316 --> 02:02:06,479
who asked me to be your lawyer.
2861
02:02:06,481 --> 02:02:07,879
She read the book.
2862
02:02:07,881 --> 02:02:09,746
I accused her
of reading trash.
2863
02:02:09,748 --> 02:02:14,880
But she defended
the book impressively.
2864
02:02:14,882 --> 02:02:18,146
And then defended you.
2865
02:02:18,148 --> 02:02:20,283
You're her role model.
2866
02:02:21,781 --> 02:02:23,715
I'm good with that.
2867
02:02:27,714 --> 02:02:29,849
There's a new offer
on the table.
2868
02:02:31,115 --> 02:02:32,279
What is it?
2869
02:02:32,281 --> 02:02:34,215
We hand over the hard drives.
2870
02:02:35,381 --> 02:02:36,580
I don't get it.
2871
02:02:36,582 --> 02:02:38,213
We hand over
the forensic imaging
2872
02:02:38,215 --> 02:02:40,047
of the emails and texts
in exchange for...
2873
02:02:40,049 --> 02:02:43,250
Exchange for, what could they
possibly offer me to do that?
2874
02:02:51,747 --> 02:02:54,182
I wrote it all down.
It's, um...
2875
02:03:02,049 --> 02:03:04,513
Your money back.
2876
02:03:04,515 --> 02:03:07,516
They'll give you all your money
back, plus interest.
2877
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:11,279
It's over five million dollars.
2878
02:03:11,281 --> 02:03:13,748
Is that why they took it
in the first place?
2879
02:03:14,848 --> 02:03:16,346
So they could offer it
back to me?
2880
02:03:16,348 --> 02:03:17,812
Yeah. For what it's worth
2881
02:03:17,814 --> 02:03:19,846
if we went to trial,
you'd have to hand over
2882
02:03:19,848 --> 02:03:21,746
the forensic imaging
and the discoveries.
2883
02:03:21,748 --> 02:03:23,645
But that's different than
voluntarily handing it over...
2884
02:03:23,647 --> 02:03:26,212
Sure, but it's not really
voluntary anymore
2885
02:03:26,214 --> 02:03:28,079
when the alternative
is prison.
2886
02:03:28,081 --> 02:03:30,581
And that's what they're going
to recommend, 42 months.
2887
02:03:34,547 --> 02:03:36,280
Why do you keep breaking
eye contact with me?
2888
02:03:36,282 --> 02:03:38,479
I-I'm looking right at you.
2889
02:03:38,481 --> 02:03:40,246
You think I should do it.
2890
02:03:40,248 --> 02:03:41,812
You gotta let me keep
you out of prison.
2891
02:03:41,814 --> 02:03:43,113
You've seen
what's on those hard drives.
2892
02:03:43,115 --> 02:03:44,379
Yeah. Yeah.
2893
02:03:44,381 --> 02:03:45,445
It's a lot more
than a little color.
2894
02:03:45,447 --> 02:03:47,212
Yeah, but complete immunity.
2895
02:03:47,214 --> 02:03:48,780
Alright?
You get all your money back.
2896
02:03:48,782 --> 02:03:50,846
You'd be the first defendant
to walk out of a courtroom
2897
02:03:50,848 --> 02:03:52,314
better off
than when you walked in.
2898
02:03:52,316 --> 02:03:54,346
Careers will be ruined.
2899
02:03:54,348 --> 02:03:56,813
Families, wives, lives on both...
2900
02:03:56,815 --> 02:03:59,378
Hey, you know,
w-when a rich goes to jail
2901
02:03:59,380 --> 02:04:01,314
he spreads his money around,
his-his lawyer knows
2902
02:04:01,316 --> 02:04:02,780
how to take care of that.
2903
02:04:02,782 --> 02:04:05,679
He spreads his money around.
You don't have any.
2904
02:04:05,681 --> 02:04:08,579
The composition of female
inmates in a federal prison.
2905
02:04:08,581 --> 02:04:10,880
They did not commit
financial crimes.
2906
02:04:10,882 --> 02:04:13,412
They're drug dealers.
They get raped by prison guards.
2907
02:04:13,414 --> 02:04:14,880
Y-you will... You...
2908
02:04:14,882 --> 02:04:16,478
You will not be anonymous,
Molly.
2909
02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:17,980
You will be a target!
2910
02:04:17,982 --> 02:04:20,379
Children will read
their father's text messages
2911
02:04:20,381 --> 02:04:23,478
saying he wished
he'd never had kids.
2912
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:25,546
- These guys...
- These guys, where are they?
2913
02:04:25,548 --> 02:04:27,746
Why're you in this alone?
Where are your friends?
2914
02:04:27,748 --> 02:04:30,512
Where is the one guy saying,
"Hey, you know, Molly
2915
02:04:30,514 --> 02:04:32,345
"I know you're doing everything
to save my life.
2916
02:04:32,347 --> 02:04:34,479
What can I do for you?
Let me buy you a sandwich."
2917
02:04:34,481 --> 02:04:37,080
Where are they, Molly?
You kept their secrets.
2918
02:04:37,082 --> 02:04:39,047
Where are the people
you're protecting by not telling
2919
02:04:39,049 --> 02:04:40,378
the whole story in the book?
2920
02:04:40,380 --> 02:04:42,112
By settling
the Brad Marion suit.
2921
02:04:42,114 --> 02:04:44,146
By not taking
five million dollars
2922
02:04:44,148 --> 02:04:45,979
of your own money,
by going to jail!
2923
02:04:45,981 --> 02:04:47,312
Where did everybody go?
2924
02:04:47,314 --> 02:04:49,712
It's not their names
I'm protecting, Charlie.
2925
02:04:49,714 --> 02:04:51,179
- It's mine.
- Oh, that's great.
2926
02:04:51,181 --> 02:04:53,746
Well, we don't have
the luxury of integrity.
2927
02:04:53,748 --> 02:04:55,912
- You have to take the deal.
- No.
2928
02:04:55,914 --> 02:04:57,745
You stay out of jail,
you get your money back.
2929
02:04:57,747 --> 02:04:58,680
You pay your debts.
2930
02:04:58,682 --> 02:04:59,912
- You start a new life!
- No.
2931
02:04:59,914 --> 02:05:01,646
Is this self-imposed punishment
2932
02:05:01,648 --> 02:05:03,580
for namin' four guys
in a book?
2933
02:05:03,582 --> 02:05:05,179
- It's not.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
2934
02:05:05,181 --> 02:05:08,746
I threw four people under
the bus for $35,000, Charlie.
2935
02:05:08,748 --> 02:05:10,312
I noticed you kept that out of
your speech to the prosecutor...
2936
02:05:10,314 --> 02:05:11,712
No, don't do that to me.
2937
02:05:11,714 --> 02:05:13,245
I took advantage
of gambling addicts.
2938
02:05:13,247 --> 02:05:15,479
Donnie Silverman,
my brilliant find.
2939
02:05:15,481 --> 02:05:17,412
He lost six million dollars
on my table...
2940
02:05:17,414 --> 02:05:19,946
- Molly, stop. Stop. Uh-huh.
- Moved to Florida.
2941
02:05:19,948 --> 02:05:21,912
Got a job as a substitute
teacher, then hanged himself.
2942
02:05:21,914 --> 02:05:23,680
- In his shower.
- Oh! And that's your fault.
2943
02:05:23,682 --> 02:05:25,546
- That's not your fault!
- Donnie Silverman's dead!
2944
02:05:25,548 --> 02:05:28,645
Harlan Eustice is in jail
in Nevada wishing he was.
2945
02:05:28,647 --> 02:05:30,079
But that's not why
I'm saying no.
2946
02:05:30,081 --> 02:05:31,478
You're not saying no.
2947
02:05:31,480 --> 02:05:32,913
I was named
after my great grandmother.
2948
02:05:32,915 --> 02:05:34,813
- I don't care, you stay here...
- Molly Dubin Bloom...
2949
02:05:34,815 --> 02:05:36,545
- ...all night, you understand?
- ...is my name.
2950
02:05:36,547 --> 02:05:39,079
Until you understand nobody
gives a shit
2951
02:05:39,081 --> 02:05:40,178
about your good name.
2952
02:05:40,180 --> 02:05:41,980
- I do!
- Why?
2953
02:05:41,982 --> 02:05:43,179
- Because...
- Why?
2954
02:05:43,181 --> 02:05:44,679
- Because...
- Tell me why!
2955
02:05:44,681 --> 02:05:48,246
Because it's all I have left.
2956
02:05:48,248 --> 02:05:50,716
Because it's my name.
2957
02:05:54,114 --> 02:05:57,748
And I'll never have another.
2958
02:06:02,180 --> 02:06:04,880
Now, you read "The Crucible!"
2959
02:06:04,882 --> 02:06:08,080
Yeah. Everyone's right.
It's great.
2960
02:06:08,082 --> 02:06:09,516
It is great.
2961
02:06:16,715 --> 02:06:18,849
I want to go
into that courtroom...
2962
02:06:20,747 --> 02:06:22,214
and plead guilty.
2963
02:06:22,982 --> 02:06:25,616
No deals. No trades.
2964
02:06:30,814 --> 02:06:33,580
And you're very sure?
2965
02:06:33,582 --> 02:06:34,549
Yes.
2966
02:06:37,181 --> 02:06:38,879
male #7 :
All rise.
2967
02:06:38,881 --> 02:06:41,645
Molly : The business
of the court began.
2968
02:06:41,647 --> 02:06:45,047
We stood for the honorable
judge Dustin Foxman.
2969
02:06:45,048 --> 02:06:46,912
And counsel entered
their names for the record.
2970
02:06:46,914 --> 02:06:48,613
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Harrison Wellstone
2971
02:06:48,615 --> 02:06:50,211
for the Southern District
of New York...
2972
02:06:50,213 --> 02:06:52,346
- The docket was called.
- Docket number 1009...
2973
02:06:52,348 --> 02:06:55,446
Molly : And some pro forma
instructions were given to counsel.
2974
02:06:55,448 --> 02:06:57,079
And I was asked a series
of questions
2975
02:06:57,081 --> 02:06:58,779
from a script
the judge had in front of him.
2976
02:06:58,781 --> 02:07:00,211
Molly Dubin Bloom.
2977
02:07:00,213 --> 02:07:01,312
How old are you?
2978
02:07:01,314 --> 02:07:02,712
Have you taken any drugs?
2979
02:07:02,714 --> 02:07:04,412
Medicine or pills, or had any
2980
02:07:04,414 --> 02:07:06,713
alcoholic beverages
in the past 48 hours?
2981
02:07:06,715 --> 02:07:07,645
Sudafed.
2982
02:07:07,647 --> 02:07:08,947
Is there anything about
the reasons
2983
02:07:08,949 --> 02:07:10,212
for you taking Sudafed
2984
02:07:10,214 --> 02:07:11,712
that would interfere
with what's going on...
2985
02:07:11,714 --> 02:07:13,780
Molly : 87 questions
he was required to ask
2986
02:07:13,782 --> 02:07:15,712
before he'd permit me
to plead guilty.
2987
02:07:15,714 --> 02:07:17,211
Foxman : Is your mind
clear today, Ms. Bloom?
2988
02:07:17,213 --> 02:07:18,580
- It is.
- Do you understand...
2989
02:07:18,582 --> 02:07:19,913
- What's going on here today?
- I do.
2990
02:07:19,915 --> 02:07:21,546
Foxman :
Under the constitution and laws
2991
02:07:21,548 --> 02:07:23,279
of the United States,
you have a right
2992
02:07:23,281 --> 02:07:25,246
to plead to the charges
in the indictment.
2993
02:07:25,248 --> 02:07:27,211
- Do you understand that?
- Yes, Your Honor.
2994
02:07:27,213 --> 02:07:29,046
- And do you understand that?
- Yes, sir.
2995
02:07:29,048 --> 02:07:31,746
At that trial,
you would be presumed to be
2996
02:07:31,748 --> 02:07:34,512
innocent and would not have
to prove that you were innocent.
2997
02:07:34,514 --> 02:07:36,346
- Do you understand that?
- Yes, sir.
2998
02:07:36,348 --> 02:07:37,378
Yes, Your Honor.
2999
02:07:37,380 --> 02:07:38,413
Yes, sir.
3000
02:07:38,415 --> 02:07:39,880
If you plead guilty
3001
02:07:39,882 --> 02:07:41,346
and I accept your plea
3002
02:07:41,348 --> 02:07:42,946
you will give up
your right to appeal
3003
02:07:42,947 --> 02:07:45,745
along with all other rights
I've enumerated.
3004
02:07:45,747 --> 02:07:48,313
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
3005
02:07:48,315 --> 02:07:49,978
Do you understand
that you are charged
3006
02:07:49,980 --> 02:07:53,313
in count 20 with operating
an illegal gambling business
3007
02:07:53,315 --> 02:07:56,112
in violation of Title 18
United States
3008
02:07:56,114 --> 02:07:59,212
Code Sections 1-9-5-5 and 2?
3009
02:07:59,214 --> 02:08:00,546
Yes, I understand.
3010
02:08:00,548 --> 02:08:03,012
Understanding everything
you've been told
3011
02:08:03,014 --> 02:08:04,912
do you now wish
to enter a plea?
3012
02:08:04,914 --> 02:08:08,780
- Yes, sir.
- How do you plead to the charge?
3013
02:08:08,782 --> 02:08:10,215
Guilty, Your Honor.
3014
02:08:11,248 --> 02:08:14,345
Your plea has been so recorded.
3015
02:08:14,347 --> 02:08:15,978
And you may take your seat.
3016
02:08:15,980 --> 02:08:18,346
Before we move
to the sentencing phase
3017
02:08:18,348 --> 02:08:20,449
I would like a word
with counsel, please.
3018
02:08:23,548 --> 02:08:25,312
Molly :
And then, something happened.
3019
02:08:25,314 --> 02:08:28,314
Pardon me, Mr. Jaffey,
just government counsel.
3020
02:08:30,914 --> 02:08:32,382
Yes, sir.
3021
02:08:36,848 --> 02:08:38,282
What's going on?
3022
02:08:40,013 --> 02:08:41,947
What are they doing?
3023
02:08:47,381 --> 02:08:50,816
- Wait for it.
- What?
3024
02:08:54,881 --> 02:08:57,515
Will the defendant please rise
for sentencing?
3025
02:09:02,348 --> 02:09:04,313
Based on all available
information
3026
02:09:04,315 --> 02:09:06,079
this court manifestly disagrees
3027
02:09:06,081 --> 02:09:08,749
with the government's
sentencing recommendation.
3028
02:09:10,681 --> 02:09:12,512
This courthouse
is located within
3029
02:09:12,514 --> 02:09:14,513
spitting distance
of Wall Street.
3030
02:09:14,515 --> 02:09:16,479
I know this
from my personal experience
3031
02:09:16,481 --> 02:09:18,012
trying to spit at it.
3032
02:09:18,014 --> 02:09:19,612
The men and women
who work there will commit
3033
02:09:19,614 --> 02:09:21,712
more serious crimes
by lunchtime today
3034
02:09:21,714 --> 02:09:24,713
than the defendant has committed
in this indictment.
3035
02:09:24,715 --> 02:09:27,713
I simply don't see how
either the people or the cause
3036
02:09:27,715 --> 02:09:30,278
of justice are served
by locking Molly Boom in prison.
3037
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:33,312
Molly : It was as casual as if he
was ordering lunch off a menu.
3038
02:09:33,314 --> 02:09:35,812
Ms. Bloom,
this court sentences you
3039
02:09:35,814 --> 02:09:38,011
to 200 hours
of community service.
3040
02:09:38,013 --> 02:09:40,679
One year
of supervised probation.
3041
02:09:40,681 --> 02:09:45,079
Drug testing
and a $200,000 fine.
3042
02:09:45,081 --> 02:09:47,312
This case is adjourned.
3043
02:09:47,314 --> 02:09:49,449
Molly :
And that was that.
3044
02:09:50,781 --> 02:09:52,445
There was crying and hugging.
3045
02:09:52,447 --> 02:09:54,245
Jokes from my brothers.
3046
02:09:54,247 --> 02:09:57,844
Tough talk about how no one
messes with the Blooms.
3047
02:09:57,846 --> 02:10:01,812
And level-headed talk
about Christmas miracles.
3048
02:10:01,814 --> 02:10:04,845
Steaks and beer
bought by my father
3049
02:10:04,847 --> 02:10:06,345
and full reenactments.
3050
02:10:06,347 --> 02:10:08,446
And in the middle of it all
3051
02:10:08,448 --> 02:10:10,778
as grateful as you are
3052
02:10:10,780 --> 02:10:13,780
the reality starts creeping
toward you like the tide.
3053
02:10:15,980 --> 02:10:19,479
And that's the first time
you have the thought.
3054
02:10:19,481 --> 02:10:22,212
What do I do know?
3055
02:10:22,214 --> 02:10:23,812
male #8 :
We've got a racer down!
3056
02:10:23,814 --> 02:10:25,646
We need a toboggan
and a back board!
3057
02:10:25,648 --> 02:10:28,546
Molly : I'm a felon,
I'm 35 years old
3058
02:10:28,548 --> 02:10:31,712
unemployed, and pled guilty
in a mob indictment.
3059
02:10:31,714 --> 02:10:33,613
Make way, people!
Make way!
3060
02:10:33,615 --> 02:10:35,446
Patrol here, move away!
Move away!
3061
02:10:35,448 --> 02:10:37,645
Molly : I owe the government
close to $2,000,000
3062
02:10:37,647 --> 02:10:40,445
in taxes assessed
on the civil forfeiture.
3063
02:10:40,447 --> 02:10:42,745
Plus, a $200,000 fine.
3064
02:10:42,747 --> 02:10:44,478
And you better believe
they're gonna come get it.
3065
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:47,112
Clear a path!
Move back please!
3066
02:10:47,114 --> 02:10:49,613
I have a quarter of a million
dollars in legal bills.
3067
02:10:49,615 --> 02:10:51,946
I don't know what I'd say
in a job interview.
3068
02:10:51,948 --> 02:10:55,313
Or if I'll ever be given
a job interview.
3069
02:10:55,315 --> 02:10:57,079
I'll never be allowed
to vote again.
3070
02:10:57,081 --> 02:10:59,011
female #4 : I'm going to
need a set of vitals.
3071
02:10:59,013 --> 02:11:01,245
Molly : And for some
reason, I'm not allowed
3072
02:11:01,247 --> 02:11:03,679
to go to Canada.
3073
02:11:03,681 --> 02:11:05,812
female #4 :
Molly, can you hear us?
3074
02:11:05,814 --> 02:11:09,545
Hips are stable.
Pelvis is stable.
3075
02:11:09,547 --> 02:11:11,012
Yeah.
3076
02:11:11,014 --> 02:11:12,612
- Her dad's here.
- What's her LOA?
3077
02:11:12,614 --> 02:11:14,345
- Uh, she's comin' around now.
- Open your eyes...
3078
02:11:14,347 --> 02:11:15,979
- If you can hear us.
- Okay, she's conscious.
3079
02:11:15,981 --> 02:11:17,778
- Molly, what day is it?
- You need to stay down, okay?
3080
02:11:17,780 --> 02:11:19,712
You need to go to a hospital.
3081
02:11:19,714 --> 02:11:21,546
What day?
3082
02:11:21,548 --> 02:11:23,545
- Dad, I'm fine.
- Trust you not to move, Molly.
3083
02:11:23,547 --> 02:11:24,945
- Let go of my arm.
- You trying to get up, hon?
3084
02:11:24,947 --> 02:11:26,812
- Yeah.
- She wants to get up.
3085
02:11:26,814 --> 02:11:28,146
male #9 : Our cameras
can't get in there
3086
02:11:28,148 --> 02:11:29,679
so we don't know...
3087
02:11:29,681 --> 02:11:30,946
male #10 : I wonder if
Tracy's got an update
3088
02:11:30,948 --> 02:11:32,211
for us on the ground.
3089
02:11:32,213 --> 02:11:34,578
- She's moving.
- She's moving.
3090
02:11:34,580 --> 02:11:36,345
- You sure you're good?
- Yeah.
3091
02:11:36,347 --> 02:11:39,145
Okay, here we go.
3092
02:11:39,147 --> 02:11:42,678
male #9 : We can see that she's
being helped to her feet now.
3093
02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:45,412
Molly Bloom is of course,
the sister of Jeremy Bloom
3094
02:11:45,414 --> 02:11:48,011
who holds the world's
number one ranking.
3095
02:11:48,013 --> 02:11:50,844
That's her long time coach
there, Ted Keene
3096
02:11:50,846 --> 02:11:52,612
and her father.
3097
02:11:52,614 --> 02:11:56,212
She came back from an injury
when she was just 13.
3098
02:11:56,214 --> 02:11:58,946
You know, you have to wonder
about the psychological toll
3099
02:11:58,948 --> 02:12:03,313
coming that close,
only to lose it like that.
3100
02:12:03,315 --> 02:12:06,078
Molly :
Did anything good come of this?
3101
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:07,281
Not really.
3102
02:12:10,948 --> 02:12:13,111
But I learned
something encouraging.
3103
02:12:13,113 --> 02:12:15,179
I'm very hard to kill.
3104
02:12:15,181 --> 02:12:17,278
male #9 : You and I both know
people who've never gotten over it.
3105
02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:19,478
male #10 : I don't know if the
young woman we've just seen is
3106
02:12:19,480 --> 02:12:21,345
is one of those people,
we may not see her ski
3107
02:12:21,347 --> 02:12:23,612
competitively again, but I
think we're gonna see her.
3108
02:12:23,614 --> 02:12:25,678
Molly : Winston Churchill
defined success
3109
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:28,511
as "The ability to move
from failure to failure
3110
02:12:28,513 --> 02:12:30,579
with no loss of enthusiasm."
3111
02:12:30,581 --> 02:12:33,313
So, I guess I'm pot-committed.
3112
02:12:33,315 --> 02:12:34,379
male #9 :
She'll be back.
3113
02:12:34,381 --> 02:12:35,412
Alright, up next at the gate
3114
02:12:35,414 --> 02:12:36,712
is Whitney Summerhill
3115
02:12:36,714 --> 02:12:39,548
who's currently
in 12th place after...
3116
02:12:39,550 --> 02:12:41,578
