There's a common saying in poker... Play the player, not the cards. Read him, bluff him, Make him doubt his strength. The trick, Bobby, Is knowing when the other guy is doing the same. Otherwise, the only person you're bluffing, son... Is yourself. I call. All right. Had a feeling you were chasing a straight. All right. I love my mom, you know what? Everybody loves your mom. I loved her twice last night. You are a motherfucker. Fucking guys. You know... Why is it always me? Talk to your sister lately? Come on, let's get some hot coins.

Really? Tons of times? Yeah. I don't know about tons of times... Like, a few times. Couple times. Like, one time for real with a car, but... Just watch my back, all right? Look at these shit-boxes.

Yeah, you know me, I'm just rolling in money. Holy shit, look at this place. Are you good? Yeah, man. All right, you got this. I can feel it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna mop the floor with these guys. 'Atta boy. Now go win us some money. What? I'm here for the game. There ain't no game here. This way. Talk to him. Hey. Can I get in on your game? How'd you get in here? Front door. Sure, but how'd you get in here? I don't know what you mean. You're in my home. I don't know you. Who told you about the game? Pino told me about the game. Turk, come on. Let's just leave the guy. No, no, no, no. Let him answer. Who the fuck told you about the game? Pino. One thing, though, friend of Pino, What's to stop me from taking your money And throwing you in a hole where no one will find you? Nothing. Who's gonna carry me out of here? This old guy? Easy, Burt. Turk. That's what they call me. You? I'm Bobby Locke. I don't know what you're expecting, Bobby, But, uh, we just play for fun. That's not what I heard. What'd you hear? I heard 250 K. Doesn't that sound like fun to you? Sounds like a lot of fun. So you're one of Chip's friends, then? I know Chips. Think you can beat him? Beat Chips with my eyes closed. That's a good story, Bobby. Hey, baby, give me a bullet, neat. You here for some action? Yeah, you here for the drinks? Oh, yeah, I get 'em for nothin'. No, I thought I'd just play a few hands, Bust out early, go to bed. Good. Guess it's my night, then. Who can tell? Turk! Makin' money? The easy way. All right. Let's play poker. Raise. I'm all in. Any time, Al. It's Alan. Right. Alan... Any time. Sorry, just calculating opportunity costs. What is that? I'm a banker. It's economics. Well, figure it out and let's go already. I wouldn't expect you to understand this, But it's not that easy. No, take your time. I mean, no, we wouldn't get it, you know? Only, if it takes you that long to figure out You got about a 32% chance Of catching that open-ended straight you're waiting for, And that you're getting 3-to-1 pot odds, You're probably not much of a banker, Al. I'm all in. Call. Bye-bye, Al. Now the game gets interesting. Burt. Burt, wake up. Get the case. Call. Raise. You gonna look at your cards? Stop fucking around. Let's play like men, not a couple of pussies, All right? What are you talking about? You either call or you fold, Bobby. You haven't even looked at your cards yet. I'm all in. You serious? Fold. Playing for 250 grand. You're gonna keep fuckin' stealing the blinds. Moment of truth, Bobby. Either step up and play the game, or get out. I thought you were stronger than your father. I thought you were willing to take some risks. But what I'm looking at is a little boy With his little pecker in his hand talking big. 25 grand. Make it 50. I'm all in. I'll call. Tripple. Flush beats trip kings in any game, Bobby. When it hits, it hits! Fuck me! I told you we have fun, here, Bobby! Fuck. Did we win? You've got ten minutes to get out, Robert. I don't even know who you are anymore. Mom, what are you talking about? You just took it all, Robert. Gambled it away. It was our only safety net. It was the only thing we had. I'm gonna pay that back. Huh. I'm trying to take care of you, Mom. Don't you dare use me As an excuse for your gambling. Get out. Mom... Oh, no, no, I'm not gonna ask you again. Get out. What happened to you? I'm fucked. I'm officially fucked for life. So, let's celebrate. Why are you here for real? My mom kicked me out. Come on, Kim, I got nowhere else to go. Please. Okay. You gotta promise me something. Yeah, anything. Don't fuck me over. Don't make me regret this. You're not. You're not gonna regret it. I'll help you get back on your feet. I can even give you a little money, but that's it. Look, I can win it back, I know I can. I'll pay off my debts. I'll... I'll take care of you. I got a flush. Yeah, fuck! I'm out. What? That ain't you. You're only up, like, 300 bucks! That's 300 more than I came with, Pino. Bullshit. You're just fuckin' scared After Chips mopped the floor with you. Fuckin' coward. Goodnight, Pino. Yeah, goodnight, Bobby. Come on, let's play. Hey, Chips. Got a little something for you this time. Yeah, funny. Hey, listen. I know you're looking at me in a funny way Because of the other night. But I have the biggest opportunity in your life To offer you. Listen, whatever it is you're offering, I'm not interested. Wanna bet? Turk has got himself a pretty good situation Over there in his little playroom, don't you think? So? They meet there once a month, you know that? No, why would I know that? But they got good security. They got an old guy who sleeps half the day. Couple of guys could go in there, Take the whole bundle. Not much trouble. Sure. But you'd have to have the IQ of a fucking squirrel. No, no, no, no, no. No, there's no way. The new guy shows up at the game, All of a sudden there's a robbery. I'll be there. I'll tell 'em you were here all night. Pino will vouch. Chips, it's... In and out in five minutes. I'll give you 100 grand. I'm not doing it. Two grand, expenses. You know what, fuck you and your expenses, Chips. All right, you call me when you've changed your mind. Would you quit being such a pussy? I mean, it sounds pretty straight-forward to me. Believe me, I could use the money. But I'm not going to jail for Chips. They don't look like revenge guys, Bobby. Okay, they're soft. They're a bunch of bankers, right? Besides, Chips will be there. This is... This is crazy. I'm trying to dig myself out, I'm not trying to dive back in again. I got plans, I got Kim. See, now you just sound stupid. Okay, it's gonna take you months To pay back your mom. And then you're gonna be right back where you started. Okay, and medical bills, I mean, that shit ain't cheap. You got meds and treatments and nurses. This is your way out. You and Chips, you guys only see what you wanna see. This is messed up. I'm not getting mixed up in it. Bobby... Hey, Bobby. Hey, what's up, Femi? So, I put in a good word for you in head office, And I got great news. Yeah, what? You're gonna be our next Employee of the Month. Plaque on the wall, lunch at home every Friday For the next month. That's... that's great, Femi. There's one catch, but it doesn't really matter. Um, you're gonna be sharing it with Arthur this month. Arthur? Yeah. He's won it 14 times. It's a company record. Fourteen times in 40 years. That's dedication. He's been here for 40 years? Yeah. Amazing, right? Congratulations, Bobby. Ben, what's up? Hey, Femi, I'm just, um... Yeah, carry on. Go ahead, my victims. Read 'em and weep. It'll always come up kings, Chip. Ha, ha... A-ha... Maybe they did... I don't wanna play anymore. I mean, I do. I mean... Burt! Grab that. Who the hell is...? If I were you, I wouldn't stay in this game. I really wouldn't. Could cost you too much. I'll decide what's too much. You're awful cute, honey, but you're not gonna win. Burt? Don't fucking move! Oh, shit! We need you to open the fucking safe! What the fuck? He almost shot you. Hey, stay down! Fuck it. It's already open! There's nothin' in here! What? Hey, sit your ass down! I'm gonna need your briefcase. Just hand it over and no one else gets hurt! It would be a real shame If something happened to your little girl. Augh! Ah... Ah, fuck! Holy shit, Bobby! Jesus Christ! Fuck, Bobby! You know, we could take this down To the roulette tables right now And put it all on red and double it! That's exactly what we should do with all this money! Yeah, yeah, you mean it? Yeah, no. No, that's not what we should do at all, you idiot. You know, Bobby, sometimes you can be really negative. Just help me count the money, okay? Yeah? Your eyes stop bleeding yet? Fuck, I got out of there quick, But I'm still puking my guts out. He came into my home, Chips. Came into my fucking house When my daughter's fucking sleeping! I'm just as fucking furious as you are, But I don't know who these molodranes are. I really don't. Do you know? Do you have any idea who this could have been? A guy came in last month. The one you beat. Bobby. Bobby something. I need his address. That's the first guy I thought of too, But when I came in my club last night, He was drunk as skunk sitting there. I asked Pino, he said he'd been there all night, And I checked the video. It's not him. All right, maybe it wasn't Bobby. Whoever it was, I want their fucking heads On a fucking stick! And you're gonna fucking help me find him! That's 100%. Jesus. Tear gas? What the fuck were you thinking, The way you handle this? Thinking that we roll in there like a couple of bad-asses And rob a card game. Why don't you just shut the fuck up? Give him a break, okay? You know... A little heads-up would have been nice. "Ah, geez, Chips, I love you like a father... Wear some fucking swimming goggles. " Something! Well, you know, Chips, on the next job We'll keep you fully informed, okay? If you never speak again, you'd do the smartest Fucking thing you ever did in your life! Here. Don't spend it all in one place. I'm done with this shit, Chips. I'm serious. This was my last bet. Yeah, sure, that's good. I'll see you tomorrow night. Later, Chips. The Giambrone brothers here. One's stupider than the other. Hey. There it is. Every penny. How'd you get the money back, Bobby? Gambling, right? Mom. Mom, this is the last time. I swear to you, I'm done. Can I come home now? Oh, honey. Oh, Bobby. I love you. I love you, too. I know. Where'd you get this money from? Look, you can't tell anyone. I love secrets. And first of all, I've never done this before, And I'm never doing it again. Got it. Chips got us to rob a card game. He said if I did it, I'd get 50 grand. So I did. Jesus, Bobby. Babe, I just... I needed a way out. Okay, I-I just... Just a boost to start over again. That's it. No, and now Chips has you by the balls Because he can turn you into the cops Whenever he wants. No, and if he does I'll do the same to him. We got each other by the balls. Trust me, I'm done with Chips. Is he done with you, though? I mean, guys like that are never out of your life, Bobby. Maybe. But I'm using this money to start over. You do something that stupid again and I'm gone. I got it. Want some of this cake? The fucking cake. I'm gonna eat the rest of it. It's actually pretty good. Turk, look, it's 250... It's not about the fucking money. I don't give a shit about the money. These creeps come into my house and do this. You... you don't need to justify it, okay? I just need to know what... I'm not done. If I want to invite some colleagues into my home And they want to play some games, grab some ass, I don't want them looking over their shoulders Wondering when some... Some nut-job in a gas mask Is gonna smack 'em with a sledgehammer. And then you add the fact they threatened my daughter. Turk, look, I understand, it's very distressing. I draw the line, Leonard. You do not fuck with me. These fuckheads need to understand this. So what are you thinking of in terms of this understanding? This should help smooth things out considerably. Bobby. How're you doing? I'm good. Where's Ben? I-I actually haven't seen him. Great. Call me if he gets here. Yeah, will do. What? Are you serious? Why aren't you at work? What? No, I'm never going back there again. Goddammit, Bobby. You're not? What do you think, you got 50 grand, Now you think you're rich? You don't think Turk is looking at everyone Who is associated to that game? Oh, come on, Bobby, you're being paranoid. Hey, can't you see this is goddamn Christmas for us? Okay, I'm gonna get a bag of weed, 10 cheeseburgers, and an X-box. Okay? That's gonna be my day. Did... did you hear a word I just said? Get dressed. We're going to work. You know what, have fun becoming Arthur, okay? Your Employee of the Month plaques are gonna look great Growing old together. Ben, if you're not at fucking work tomorrow, I swear to God I'm gonna come here and drag you there myself. I'm not getting fuckin' clipped for you, Ben! Fuckin' idiot. Fuckin' id... You're a... idiot. Myself and one of the other nurses will check in Twice a day to give you your medication And to monitor your condition. We're also gonna get you on a completely different diet Which will make you much more comfortable. Okay. You also need to stop taking the Methotrexate immediately. Your son has paid for an upgrade to the Tofacitinib. You might be weak for a few days While we make the transition. And it's fairly new, but you shouldn't worry Because we'll be checking in on you a lot. Well, I check in on her all the time, too. Good. Oh, and there's also the matter of the billing. Oh, I'll take that. Just put that in my hand. Sure thing. Okay. You'll get your first visit starting tomorrow. Okay. Thank you. Hey. You happy? Yeah. Thanks. I don't know. I-I don't know if I can make it work, If it's enough money to get my mom back on her feet. I can't get her to start the new treatment And then stop it. Look, I'm sure between both our jobs We can swing it. I don't know. Maybe. It's a lot of money, though. Who's that? It's nobody. I'll call back. It's Chips, right? Just leave it. You got nothing to say to that asshole. Relax. What, did he Feel you up at work or something? Kim? Look, I wanted to tell you this before, But I thought you'd be mad. Okay. What? Look, Chips told me that he and your dad Bought into a huge tournament together. My dad? And Chips won it, but he refused To split the money with your dad. Just straight screwed him over. Chips bought Scruples and your dad never got a penny. How do you know that? Just remember that I didn't judge you After you told me about the robbery. All right. When I started out at Scruples, Chips and I... You fucked Chips. Hey, you said you wouldn't judge. Don't pull this shit with me! You, Christ, you fucked Chips? It was a fling, Bobby. It wasn't a big deal. How is that not a big deal? I see the way he leers at you! Everybody fucking leers at me. It's part of the job. He feels responsible for you. He feels responsible for me? I was thinking this would be my half of the office. What the fuck? Apparently I own half this fucking shithole! Pino, Bruno? Come in, come in! You guys work for me now! You work for me now. Ask him. Ask him about Henry Locke! I want paperwork tomorrow Or I'm gonna burn this fucking place to the ground. Is it true? Is it true you fucked him over? Your father fucked himself over. Bullshit! You... You let me believe That he lost all his fucking money here! Your best friend. My father! Get him outta here. Come on, come on. Fuck you, Chips. Out! Take a hike. Fuck off! Go fuck yourself. Fuck! Let me talk to Turk. Yeah, it's Chips. I got one of your guys. Yeah. His name is... His name is Ben Miller. 30332nd, yeah. You too. What? Ben Miller? Fuck! I'm gonna... Please, please, please! Jesus Christ! No, let go! Please don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! I had nothing to do with it! Hey, hey, hey, calm down for a second! Just listen to me! I wasn't even there! I had nothin' to do with... Stop! Mom? Mom, you awake? Hmm. Hmm? We can't find anything else. I think that's all that's here. That's not even a quarter of the money. Funny thing... He's made a lot of calls to Bobby Locke. Heh. It's time for a visit. Robert, what are you doing? Playing Blackjack. I found out, Mom. About Chips taking money from Dad. You never told me? Bobby... You don't know what you're talking about. I know that Dad took a chance and got screwed over. So he figured I'd do the same, right? But you know what pisses me off? Is that you just rolled over and took it. Honey... Remember that time in school, Ma? We had to do that report. They asked us what we wanted to be. And I said "tennis player. " I wanted to be a professional tennis player. And you and Dad, you said, "No Bobby, it's not realistic. " Mom, who cares if it wasn't realistic? I was nine. Every time I tried to do something big You guys pushed me down. "No, Bobby, you're just not tough enough. " "No, Bobby, that's not what people like us do. " People like us, Mom? Your dad and me, we... We just wanted to protect you. Ah, Mom! Mom, it smells in here! It smells like Dad's old work clothes! It smells like the same shitty coffee he drank For 40 years! We're gonna be right here in 20 years In the same house doing the same things... With this... This fucking smell! Is that what you want, Mom? Can I help you? Uh... Sure. Do you live here? No, I-I'm a nurse. For Audrey? I'm not at liberty to say. I hear it's gotten pretty bad. I should go in. Uh, sorry, no. Will you put her in the trunk, please? Ow, ow! Shh... Should we take out the mother too? Jesus, Bill, I'm not an animal. What if more of these nurses come? It's a big trunk. Bobby, please come to see me in the office. Hey, what's going on? I've got some bad news. It's... it's Ben, right? Look, things have been really tough on him lately. Just give him a break. I'll make sure he comes in, okay? Ben's dead, Bobby. What? Uh, I dunno, the police just called, and, uh... He's dead? I'm so sorry. Mom? Hello, Bobby. Your mother won't be joining us for coffee, unfortunately. Where's my mom? Where's Nadine? Oh, they're fine... I think. My ideal version of this, You tell me where my money is, and then... We kill you. Listen, this wasn't my idea, okay? I-I, yes, I robbed your card game, But I was paid to do it. I don't have your money. I'm not buying it. Look, look, I'm a nobody, man. I've been a nobody my whole fucking life. I don't have your money. You want it back, go talk to Chips. Is that the best you can do? He was at the fucking game, for Christ's sake. What did he say to you when you called him? That I was at his club all night? He told you I was drunk, right? Look, I can help you get to him. You got no idea how bad I wanna help you get to him. Why would I do that? You think I can't take Chips out myself? What do you have to lose? Trust me, just make sure you show up at Scruples Tonight at 8. I'm a betting man. Tonight at 8. Mom! Mom, where are you? Mom! Mom, please! Oh, God! Mom, I'm sorry! Mom! Mom! Hold on. Oh, my God. It's Kim. Leave me a message. Mom! Kim, Kim, listen, I fucked up. I need your help. My mom's in trouble. Kim, listen, I know I fucked up. I need your help. Ben's dead. I need your help. This is my fault. I need you. Please. I have a plan. Surprised to hear from you. Well, Bobby's a jealous guy. Couldn't be seen getting friendly with you, Whatever the reason. He's not here? No. Look, I was stupid, and I was naive. Bobby made me care for him But he only wanted a soft place to land Whenever he fucked it all up. You were always nice to me. It's time I returned the favour. Where is he? Kim? Hey, I just got your message. How are you? I'm okay. Uh... Mom's not doing so well. Can you come over? Maybe in a bit. As soon as you can. Hey, what's up? I'm glad you came. I didn't want to leave things the way we did before. Come in. Hello, Bobby. You made a mistake this time. You pissed off the wrong broad. Hell hath no fury, motherfucker. That's for wrecking my office, asshole. Let me tell you something, by the way, About your history. The whining about your family, your mother and your father, Things went sour between me and your father, But I never let it change my feelings toward your mother Or for you. I don't wanna kill you, but I may give you to Turk. This is the last chance you have to say anything. Chips, it's me. After my father died, you looked after me. He took care of me, you helped out. You paid for the funeral. I'll never forget that. I know I owe you. Let me make things right. You're gonna make things right? Sure. Look, Chips, just, just play me for it. Play you for what? You want Turk off your back, I can do that for you. What the fuck are you talking about? You win, I'll take the fall. I win... You won't win. The least you can do Is play me one final fucking game of cards. Take this fuck upstairs. Come on. Pino, hold a gun on him. You, sit here. Bruno, deal. 20 chips each, no limit. Sure. Cocky fuck, aren't you? Got it from my dad. At least that's what my mom tells me. She really didn't like you. Couldn't figure out why till now. What are you talking about? I mean, I know she fucking hated you 'Cause you fucked my dad over, but... There's something else, right? Something I'm missing. You don't know what you're saying. I know you loved her. I know you couldn't stand the fact That my dad was happy with her. You shut your fucking mouth! Am I wrong? You didn't fuck him over Because she picked him over you? Huh? Even with all your fucking money, She picked a loser. She picked a fucking loser, Chips. Maybe you don't care. You don't care that she's dead now. That's right. She couldn't get the medical attention she needed, 'Cause Turk's men didn't let the nurse come into our home. Since you sent Turk after Ben and me, She's dead because of you. She's dead? I didn't send Turk after you! You made a bad bet, Chips. I'm all in. That wasn't supposed to happen. What did she say? Did she say anything? You wanna know what she said? You go all in too. And you get Turk's money And you put that on the fucking table! Shut the fuck up. You're not in charge here. Where is it? It's in the safe? And that's where it's gonna stay. Deal a card. I win. Straight beats two pair, Chips. Don't matter no more. You all right? My mom's not dead, asshole. It's called bluffing. Bobby... You wanna finish him off? Money's in the office. Here. It's all here, man. All the money. I'm still so fucking mad about that fucking tear gas. My lung have been burning ever since. Not to mention the kids' nightmares. I should kill you for that. And then I was thinking you're not such a bad kid. You got some smarts, some creativity. Maybe I should just let you go Knowing I'm out there, waiting for you. I could just kill you whenever you want. Turk, look, I don't know what you're getting at, But I-I... I just don't know if I can trust you, Bobby. And where would be without trust? You know you can trust me, right? Meh. Freeze! Hands off your weapon! Aah! Oh my God, Bobby! Hey. Are you okay? What happened? It's over. That's all that matters. What did you say when you called? I saw these men go in with guns. My boyfriend's in there. Please, you have to help him. I heard gunshots. Okay. All right, I guess you're better than I thought. Your mom gonna be okay? I missed you. |
