Mr. Suero?

Oh!

Victor Victory Suero.

Miles Sellers.

Welcome to the Tirofront. It's a true pleasure.

I'm an admirer. Oh, you're a fight fan? Yeah, I am. But a fan of yours in

particular. Have a seat.

Really? You specialize on fighters with so 500 records?

Oh, come on.

You and I both know that there are many reasons to admire you outside your win

-loss column.

Your toughness, for example.

When I was about, um, around about 14, my old man brought

us here all the way from Austria.

Looking for the American dream and damn it if New York didn't give it to him.

He worked as a stevedore in Red Hook.

That toughened him up. And as a result, he toughened us up.

Me, my sisters, my brothers.

You grow up in New York and you take on the character of this city.

Stock market crash.

Terrorist attacks.

Blackout riots.

Yeah.

New York's a city that survives.

That's how I knew that I could help you.

I read up on you a little bit. You're a survivor too, aren't you, Victor?

You survived a fire that killed both parents.

You survived being bound from foster home to foster home, always protecting

little sister. You survived countless battles in the ring despite your

affliction.

What is this?

I assumed you'd train a lot and thought maybe you could use a new pair of

running shoes.

You don't really give out loans, do you?

No, I do not.

But let me tell you a little about my line of work.

The hunt is 24 hours, from sunrise to sunrise.

50 ,000 for the first hour, 100 for the second.

Deposits increase 50 grand every hour until hour 20, which pays a million.

and that increases by a million every hour after that for a total of $24 .5

million. The game takes place in the five bars in Long Island.

Leave the confines. It's a violation, and the game never ends.

Tell anyone it's a violation. Go to the cops, get yourself arrested. It's a

violation. At the top of every hour, your location's given up to the hunters

15 seconds. You keep this phone on you at all times, or it's a violation.

No guns.

Hunters need to get up close and personal.

Anyone you run into could be the last person you ever see.

Sport in its purest form.

A hunt to kill.

42 ,000.

Doubt payment. Shows you I can get you the money we owe. No.

Shows me you can get me less than 10 % of money you owe. But I can get you the

rest.

When you work something out, just give me more time.

The only thing I'm going to give you is your little change purse bag.

You talk to those loan sharks I told you about.

You haven't met them?

No, I have not.

Because I have not made mistake of owing when I cannot pay.

So... Get home.

Rob bank. I don't give shit.

But you walk in here with a less than full amount again, you don't walk out.

But I promise you, I will stuff your sister in same oil drum I put you in, so

you can be together.

Now go.

Get me my money.

Hey.

Hey.

Did they take you back?

Yeah, they love me there.

I need to show you something.

I looked it up.

There's, like, 12 decommissioned lie -outs in the U .S. respect.

And they're expensive as shit, so... I don't be able to afford you one.

No.

So, next best thing.

I love it.

You're scary.

How do you know?

Because every time you're scared, you do something like this.

When you thought the court wouldn't let you adopt me, you took me to see the

Wiggles. And when I got my appendix out, you built me Dollhouse Manor.

At a shoe box.

Still kicked ass.

Now, a homemade lighthouse.

What's up?

My God, are you smart?

I'm worried things might go wrong.

Fights have been thrown a thousand times.

What would you do if something happened to me?

I mean, what wouldn't I do?

No curfew, no checking calls, no find my family app. I'm serious.

What would you do?

For real?

I mean, it's not what I do, it's what could I do.

Nothing.

You're my life. You saved me from fire, from these thugs.

Thank you for this.

Te quiero.

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

You're wearing the shoes that I got you.

Well, I hope that's all you brought. Yeah, no cash, no ID. Here's the...

Sorry.

I have to be certain.

Well, no nervous perspiration?

No rapid heartbeat?

You accepted my offer within hours of it being presented?

Most people take a day or two before agreeing to a life -and -death

Well, you're not scared.

I'm terrified, like before every fight.

I just don't let it affect me.

Because you're a true scrapper.

That's why I was so pleased when you called.

As the conductor of this orchestra, I, of course, am not allowed to wager on

outcome, but if I could, I'd bet my last dollar on you.

People bet on this? Yes, pre -screened and approved participants bet on how

hours you'll last.

Which hunter might kill you, where it might happen, whether you kill a hunter,

do you know which one? We have investors who support and train your pursuers

like a nation does an Olympic team.

Some hunters are just so wealthy that this game is the only thing left in life

that makes them feel anything.

You're sick.

No. I'm just managing a game.

A game which starts at 5 .53.

which is just under a minute.

The hunters are all within 100 yards of the stadium.

Don't forget this.

You have a one -minute head start.

It used to be three, but the competition committee felt it was too long.

Underdogs sometimes win, Victor.

Remember that.

Welcome to the big league.
