We'll have to go round a few more times.

You got any binoculars in the house?

And the verdict is?

Once more, I want to do it.

That's the place they're selling. Imagine what they're moving into.

G -H -A -Z -H.

Find out who that belongs to, who they are, and what they're doing here.

Okay.

And if they're a threat, you deal with it.

I don't want to know about it.

Somebody broke in last night.

So what's missing?

Nothing. It's ridiculous.

They seem to have left everything.

What about the plane?

Ronnie's still checking, but he says they're fine.

The police said there's nothing more I can do, so we may as well get going.

I'm looking forward to this reunion.

Oh, Harriet, this is Chris Manning, our two pilots.

Yeah, I know, I know. It's great to meet you. I've read your book.

Lives away, the children's education, everything.

There's my father just taking it all from them. It's so cruel.

It wasn't up to him to be their conscience.

Can't afford to lose, you shouldn't sit down at the table.

Ah, come on, what is this?

What happened to the girl who squared off against Pee Wee Abbott?

What'd she do?

Don't you dare.

Ah, she couldn't have been more than eight. She sat across the table from Pee

Wee in these dinky pyjamas and bluffed the shirt off his back with a pair of

fours. I've never forgotten it.

Oh, shoot, it was so proud. You'd think she'd won the Nobel Prize.

Very impressive.

Hey, you, face the front.

Jimbo, are there some people here to see you?

G'day.

Is there news on the break -in?

We just want to ask you a few questions.

About what?

We'd like to know what a chopper belonging to Big Sky was doing over

yesterday.

Can I see some ID?

You make those yourself?

This chopper was seen at Point Piper around noon and someone was seen to be

taking photographs from it. We'd like to know why.

We were hired to take photos for a real estate ad.

That's not illegal to take photos, is it?

What's the name of the photographer?

Lexi Chiani.

She's a pilot here.

She takes all our photos.

Can we speak to her?

She's on a job. She'll be back tomorrow.

Then we'll be back tomorrow.

Any time, guys.

He just stood up from the table, plucked it out of his hat and gave it to me.

Hell of a game, that's all he said.

Hell of a game. I busted him out after 15 hours straight.

So this is your good luck time then?

No, don't believe in luck, son.

But it is my most prized possession.

Johnny Costa was a legend.

Best I ever saw.

Yeah, but luck's got to play a part.

Let me tell you something.

Poker's about character, not luck.

Your character gets stripped bare at the poker table.

If the other players can read you better than you read yourself, they'll take it

to the cleaners every time.

Chapter five.

Play the man, not the card. Yep.

If you can read your opponent's tells, you can beat him no matter what.

Some people might, you know, chew their lip or fold their arms or scratch an

ear, so many things.

If you can pick the other guy's tells, you can beat him.

For instance, I can tell that Lauren hasn't done much flying before.

Well, what's the tell?

Well... Number one, she fidgets her shoulders when she's nervous.

There you go.

Number two, she keeps checking the instruments even though we're only

But most importantly, she told me just before we got on the plane.

Oh, look at this.

Mad Dog Manning.

What do you reckon? You're not.

Hey, I've read his book. I can't lose.

Yes, you can.

I was being ironic.

Excuse me.

And I'll see you.

There are five.

Three aces wins.

Hi. What's up?

Your house too.

This is getting weird.

Enjoying yourself?

I am, Harry.

Take your time.

For you.

Tudor sent them to me.

We used to send them to each other from all over the place. Turned into a bit of

a tradition.

He wrote about you mostly, so... Well, thanks. That's so nice.

I kept them all this time because I thought one day you'd like to have them.

Well, thank you.

He was really fond of you.

Yeah.

He was pretty special, the old shooter.

Well, better get going.

See you later.

Harry, how you doing?

You can stick a fork in me, because I'm done.

You busted out two.

Yeah, see what I mean about good luck charms?

You can't rely on them.

Tell me about it.

200 grand?

Would have done me.

You're hanging a lot longer than some of us pros that do it for a living. That's

not bad.

So what are you going to do, go back to Sydney?

No, no. The fun starts now.

The real action at these tournaments are the satellite games the high rollers

set up after they busted out. This is the business.

I've got a few starters coming to my room in about an hour or so for a game.

Why don't you stop by?

I don't see a need to confiscate any of these.

So, uh, what's all this then?

We had to make sure.

Sure of what?

It's a very sensitive matter.

You need to contact the police about your break -in or anything to do with

photos. Make sure you call us.

Oh, so they're related?

We're not certain yet.

I still say they're not real police.

So who are those guys?

Look, I told you. We went over them with a fine -tooth comb.

They're nearly all of the house next door.

The ones at the meeting, you can't make out any detail.

There's no way I can get back to you.

You sure you saw all the photos they had? If they're going to hide any shots

from us, they have to know what we're looking for.

And?

No way.

They're completely in the dark.

You'd better be right.

There you are. Come on, come in. I'll introduce you to everyone.

Hey, Harry, this looks a bit serious.

Don't worry, they're laughing inside.

What's the ante?

At the moment, it's really low, just for fun.

Don't worry.

I'll let you know if you look like getting in a strike. Come on.

I thought it was you.

Ian Drake.

I was a friend of your father's. Oh, Ian, yeah, hi.

Gosh, I haven't seen you in a year.

I was so sorry to hear about Duncan.

Thank you.

You're here for the tournament, of course.

Oh, what on earth brings you here?

Don't tell me you've become a player.

Oh, God, no.

No, I'm in the aviation business now. I flew up here with Harry Queen.

Pleasure, Harry. Yeah, that's right.

Is something wrong?

No, no, it's...

Just a bit surprised, that's all.

Why? Oh, Harry and your father.

Ian, what are you talking about?

He tried to pretend everything was okay.

Do you know how it is when it gets around?

We all knew that your father's business was falling apart.

We stopped inviting him to the big poker games.

I mean, we tried not to make it obvious, but...

Harry? He knew your father was nearly bankrupt.

But he still kept involving him in high stakes games.

He didn't stop playing at the table. He went straight for the jugular.

It was terrible to watch.

I saw him take at least a quarter million off your old man.

And that was just the games I was at.

Harry was one of Dad's closest friends.

Not at the end.

When your dad was in strife, all Harry saw was blood in the water.

I had a go at him once. Told him to leave Duncan alone.

He just laughed.

Did someone try and tell Dad?

I did. But he was a proud bloke.

He told me to mind my own business.

He wouldn't admit how bad things had got for him.

Maybe he just didn't want to believe his best friend could do that to him.

Anyway, I went overseas.

The next thing I heard, he'd died.

Sorry.

First lesson of photography, always hide your necks.

They can't be cops. Cops would have found them.

Their badges look real.

Have you ever seen a cop badge?

In the movies?

Exactly.

I knew it.

I had a hunch those pigs weren't kosher, and I was right.

A hunch?

So who do you think you are, Kojak?

No.

I've got a feeling for this.

A sixth sense that was telling me something.

Who were those guys?

The answer.

It's in those photos.

Lexi!

Lexi, print everything.

Everything we haven't seen before.

Whatever they wanted is right here.

What are we looking at?

We've got to think like cops.

Don't look at the photo. Look through it.

Like a detective would.

How's that?

Keep an open mind.

Don't let the facts fit the story.

Was it the story fit the fact?

Well, look who it is.

Our guy.

So, they said they were there.

Yeah, but the question is, who is this guy?

This is so cool.

Cool? What are you talking about? What if they changed their minds and come

after us?

Oh, come after us?

Why would they do that?

Well, how should I know?

after us. I wish you hadn't said that.

I'm going to take another run up to Harvard tomorrow and check the place out

again. What for?

Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't go.

Have you got any scots?

We've been looking at the wrong thing.

It's the boat, not the house.

Big Sky, this is Echo Whiskey Victor.

Go ahead, Echo Whiskey Victor.

Say, could you tell Lexi that my thick dance was right again?

Sorry?

Tell her my hunch paid off. She'll know what that means.

Why can't you blow them up?

Well, not the Polaroids. They'd just be all fuzzy pixels.

But if I had the neg shit... What's that?

The negative you peel off the back, you can do great blots from those.

Well, um, what do you do with them?

I don't know. I just toss them away in the back of the chopper.

I'll be back.

Hey, Lauren.

Oh, my goodness, you look dreadful. How long since you've slept? I don't know.

I'm in one of those satellite games, been going all night.

I can't believe what's happening.

I guess who's winning? A monster.

Oh, dear, how it all begins.

I can't believe this. These guys aren't so tough.

Are you listening? Yes, they are.

Well... Harry said he wouldn't let me get into too much trouble. It's a buzz.

Harry, you're playing with him.

Yeah, who else?

Be careful.

What's wrong?

Nothing. No, not nothing. What?

It's okay.

Right.

Break for 20 minutes.

Well, you've got a mean winning streak going there.

I can't believe all this money.

I hate to do this. I've got to pull out.

What? Oh, tell me you're joking. You can't walk out now. You're on a roll.

Look, I play blackjack with pilots. Half of them call it pontoon.

I feel like I'm flying without a parachute feeling.

I hate to see you do it.

My gut feeling is you could triple what you're sitting on now before you even

start to get nervous.

You're kidding. No.

There's a feel to every game.

Believe me, this game ain't beating its children yet.

You've got the feel, haven't you?

Look, tell you what.

Stay for one more session. Clean out a few more of these losers.

I'll give you the signal when to jump.

Okay?

All right.

Lauren.

We need to talk.

in trouble. You knew he was losing money.

I want money off your dad. Sure, a lot of money. But I want it fair and square.

Fair? How can you call that fair?

You want it to play, Lauren.

Don't make me out to be the villain here.

Shooter was a gambler. That's what he did. I didn't make him that way. Oh, no.

So you just bleed him dry when he's down.

I don't have to justify myself to you or anybody.

No, Harry, he wasn't just some bark from out of town. He was supposed to be your

friend. You could have tried to stop him. Others tried. Ian Drake tried. We

could tell it wasn't going to do any good.

Because... Because you kept sucking him back in.

You could have told him to slow down. You could have stopped inviting him to

play. He still would have found a way to lose.

Because in the end, that's what he was, a loser.

Hadn't been to me, it would have been to someone else.

I'm sorry about your old man, Lauren.

I liked him, I really did.

But he did it to himself.

You've just got to learn to live with that.

Now, why don't you take off?

I've got some poker to play.

Who the hell are these two?

He's kind of cute.

Yeah, isn't she?

Do you think maybe she did the breaking?

What are you going to be, Chris?

Ronnie?

What? It's Lisa Page.

Oh, like Welcome to the Planet was on the news this morning.

Murdered? Yeah, two days ago, they reckon. They just found her body.

It's her.

Of course it's her.

I'd better be getting bed.

Shay, look at this.

These are the photos I was telling you about.

Look.

Oh, my God.

It's her, isn't it?

Look at her. Do you think those boobs are for real?

Shay. Of course it's Elizabeth Page. No one else would look that gorgeous.

It's unlocked.

I went down to the game and they said you'd pulled out.

Congratulations.

Thank you kindly.

How much did you win?

Well, I had $82 ,000.

Had?

You blew it.

Maybe I could get a job as a pilot in Ethiopia.

They get a lot of money there because they're always getting shot at. Or I

retire. Yeah, I could sit in a park bench drinking musket out of a brown

bag.

What do you reckon?

Come on, it's not that bad.

Oh, yes, it is.

Well, we've got a problem with the transport.

Something wrong with the plane?

You could say that.

I lost the plane to...

I lost my head.

Oh, I just can't believe this.

How do you better play it anyway? What, are you throwing to the pot a propeller?

No, door keys and fuel keys.

Oh, Chris, this is ridiculous.

Well, that's what I reckon.

Will you take this seriously?

I mean, all the stupid stuff you've pulled... I just... Well, there must be

something we can do.

Oh, yes, sure, great. Oh, it's we now.

I mean, you lost the damn thing. You work out how to get it back.

Well, what do you think I've been doing, sitting here doing nothing?

Look, I don't care what happened...

Harry does not own my plane. Get down to the airfield and break in. We're

leaving. I already thought of that.

It's gone.

Gone?

Yeah, I went down to steal it. It's not there.

Oh, how could you be so stupid?

Lauren, I had four queens.

I couldn't lose.

I was sitting there at the table holding them and everyone was sitting around

smiling at me and then Harry bet the pot.

What can I do?

You hurled four queens and you lost.

To what?

Straight flush.

Eight high.

Four queens beaten by a straight flush in the same hand. Do you know what the

odds against that are?

About 50 million to one.

You were rolled, mad dog.

Oh, this would go after this.

Yeah.

What's he doing?

He's a muscly bastard, isn't he?

What are they doing there?

I think he's going to kiss her.

Then why hasn't she got her arms around him?

He had no right to bet it. It's not legally his plane.

Do you understand?

I understand. I just don't care.

I've got it now, Lauren. You don't like it.

Take me to court.

You'd bet him up.

Just like my father.

That's a serious charge.

You go around saying things like that, I hope you've got proof.

Four queens and a straight flush in the same hand.

Extremely rare, but not impossible.

I'm not a sucker, Harry.

You and I both know what really happened here.

Yes, we do.

I'm on your plane.

You bastard.

The question is, who's Lisa's lover boy?

Well, give me a look at him, then.

She's a babe, all right.

I can tell you who that is.

It's Terry Bradshaw.

What, that's Terry Bradshaw?

Yeah, the one and only. Don't you guys know anything about football?

I don't know.

He's got a wife and kids.

Quick, Scotty, turn it up.

With manslaughter and supplying an illegal substance.

Solicitors for the convicted drug dealer said Mercer would vigorously defend the

charges. Mercer claimed he had not seen Lisa Page any time in the past week.

Who's Mercer?

I don't know, some crim.

They've got the wrong guy, Jimbo.

The answer has got to be in these blow -ups.

How we looking?

According to him, possession is ten -tenths of the law. Oh, what a surprise.

Well, I can't see what we can do except win it back.

Lauren, I know I've got no right to offer advice, but you don't normally do

things this stupid.

Oh, I can be stupid too.

Yeah, but you're not a natural.

You have to work it.

I'm not leaving here without that plane, and I'm going to get that back.

Except with the casino, you can get a dealer.

Tell them it's for Harry. They always like to suck up to the high roller.

are you going?

I'm going shark hunting.

Your card.

You're first to speak, sir.

How many counts?

The

point

is, she died then.

And what's going on here? I mean, they are fighting. Oh, for what? They had a

fight. Big deal. That does not make him a murderer.

Well, it doesn't make the other guy a murderer. I mean, why protect... Get

guy, Scotty. I mean, he's married and he's half naked on a boat with Lisa

What kind of a saint's that?

Hey, all I'm saying to you is if you take these to the cops, then you'll ruin

him. I mean, this Mercer guy, OK, what? He's a drug dealer, a standover man.

I've read about him and he is a nasty piece of work.

I mean, the cops don't get him for this, they'll get him for something else.

He's the criminal.

The point is he's innocent this time, Scotty. We don't know that, just like we

don't know what's going on.

I mean, what do you want to do? You want to ruin the good guy and you want to

let a criminal go free. Is that what you want, is it?

That's not fair, Scotty.

No, but the truth.

Terry Bradshaw is a hero.

We can't ruin him.

We should give him a chance to go to the cops by himself.

Yeah, I guess.

Call and raise.

What's that?

Registration paper for the big sky chopper.

It's worth a lot more than the plane you took off, Chris, but you bet that and

we'll call it even.

If you throw in your feather.

What?

Are you crazy? What do you want my feather for?

Were you going to call or not?

Like father, like daughter, you just don't know when to quit, do you?

Alright.

I call.

Full house.

Yeah.

Queen's over aces.

Mr. Quinn?

Three fixes.

Full house wins.

Uh, Terry, can we go again, please, mate? Sure. Thanks.

So, Ricky, we'll give you this now, and then by the time you get out, you'll be

able to play with it, won't you?

Okay, excellent.

You look forward to that, I bet.

There you go.

Hi. Hi.

Sure, of course you can.

It's very impressive, Lauren. That's business with the cold, as you did it

deliberately, didn't you? Yeah, apparently I do it when I'm nervous.

guess I thought you were a shooter's daughter.

I guess.

Yeah, well, I won't make that mistake again.

Well, you get the chance.

Now, come on, you can't stop now.

You've won your claim back. We're even. Time for some real poker.

No, thanks, Harry. I got what I came for. Now, don't walk away, Lauren.

You owe me the chance to get my money back.

And that feather.

Darling, I'm talking serious money.

Come on.

You're the real thing, just like your old man.

You know you want to do it, don't you?

Goodbye, Harry.

So, what are you going to do with the money?

Not much left after you take the planes out.

Maybe just enough to get my washing machine fixed.

Can I assume your days of poker playing are over now?

Cut it out.

I don't have to spend an expert like you at it. Oh, I'm warning you, mad dog.

Yeah, OK.

OK.

Terry? Yeah.

Hi. Jimbo. How are you?

I'm a pilot from Big Sky.

Oh, yeah? I wanted to talk to you about Elizabeth Pate.

She just collapsed.

We'd had a bit of a fight. She'd been doing coke all morning.

I really liked her, you know.

But she was screwed up, depressed.

I tried to help her.

I really did.

Yeah, but the point is the cops have arrested this guy called Mercer.

I hope they hang that mongrel.

He's the one that's selling her all this stuff.

Yeah, but he wasn't there when she died.

You were.

Okay, look, I'll tell you the truth.

I didn't kill her, but I moved the body.

I panicked, okay?

I mean, if she'd OD'd on my boat, can you imagine what had happened?

What it would do to my career, my family?

So you were behind the break -ins then?

Yeah, well, I just looked at the chopper. I mean, it wasn't hard to work

just read the numbers on the sign.

What? So these photos could get that Mercer guy off?

You're not telling me you'd turn those over to help that piece of crap?

Listen, mate.

I am begging you.

I've got a lot of good things to do.

Like helping these kids.

Lisa Page was just one mistake in my life.

Don't crucify me for it.

Please.

I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Give me copies.

What?

You're going to have to hand them in to the cops.

What do you mean?

Well, I know he's a drug dealer.

I mean, he might be a serial killer as far as I'm concerned.

But he's innocent.

He can't take the fall for this.

Either you do it, or I do.

Either way, it's going to happen.

So do you think he'll go to the cop fund, though?

I'll have to buy the papers tomorrow and find out.

How does it feel, Sherlock?

The mystery's solved?

No, now it's not.

We've only solved half of it.

Oh, yeah.

Who were those guys?

And then my father better now.

It felt so good to win.

It was so addictive.

So intense.

So sexy.

It was so hard to walk away.
