2
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,493
[wind howling]
3
00:00:44,325 --> 00:00:46,790
(Molly) A survey was taken
a few years ago that asked
4
00:00:46,792 --> 00:00:49,090
three hundred professionals
one question.
5
00:00:49,092 --> 00:00:51,659
"What's the worst thing
that can happen in sports?"
6
00:00:55,026 --> 00:00:57,358
Some people answered,
losing at game seven.
7
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,124
(male announcer) He scores,
Bruins win in seven games!
8
00:01:02,126 --> 00:01:04,324
(Molly) And other people
said getting swept in 4.
9
00:01:04,326 --> 00:01:06,890
[indistinct commentary]
10
00:01:06,892 --> 00:01:09,690
Some people said it was
missing the World Cup.
11
00:01:09,692 --> 00:01:11,091
(male announcer)
Guatemala is eliminated!
12
00:01:11,093 --> 00:01:13,223
(male #1)
Goal!
13
00:01:13,225 --> 00:01:16,190
(Molly) And some Brazilian said
it was losing to Argentina.
14
00:01:16,192 --> 00:01:20,924
Not just in the World Cup.
Any time, ever, in any contest.
15
00:01:20,926 --> 00:01:22,891
But one person answered
that the worst thing
16
00:01:22,893 --> 00:01:26,956
that can happen in sports is
fourth place at the Olympics.
17
00:01:26,958 --> 00:01:28,990
This is a true story,
but except for my own
18
00:01:28,992 --> 00:01:30,991
I've changed all the names
and I've done my best
19
00:01:30,993 --> 00:01:34,723
to obscure identities for
reasons that'll become clear.
20
00:01:34,725 --> 00:01:35,991
I'm Molly Bloom.
21
00:01:35,993 --> 00:01:38,190
And right now, I'm ranked third
in North America
22
00:01:38,192 --> 00:01:39,690
in Woman's Moguls.
23
00:01:39,692 --> 00:01:41,224
I grew up
in Loveland, Colorado
24
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,723
about two hours
north of Denver.
25
00:01:42,725 --> 00:01:44,423
I have a B.A.
in Political Science
26
00:01:44,425 --> 00:01:45,857
from the University
of Colorado
27
00:01:45,859 --> 00:01:47,891
where I graduated
Summa Cum Laude
28
00:01:47,893 --> 00:01:50,023
with a 3.9 GPA.
29
00:01:50,025 --> 00:01:53,857
The median L-Sat score
at Harvard Law School is 169.
30
00:01:53,859 --> 00:01:55,390
My score is 173.
31
00:01:55,392 --> 00:01:57,790
Number 87, up!
Fifty six on deck!
32
00:01:57,792 --> 00:01:59,924
I've spent 16 years
chasing winter
33
00:01:59,926 --> 00:02:02,856
and being coached
by the best in the world.
34
00:02:02,858 --> 00:02:04,557
Sundays were for working out
with my father.
35
00:02:04,559 --> 00:02:06,358
Something's really wrong.
36
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,390
(Molly)
When I was 12 years old
37
00:02:07,392 --> 00:02:08,422
for no particular reason
38
00:02:08,424 --> 00:02:09,790
my back exploded.
39
00:02:09,792 --> 00:02:11,623
Tough it out.
40
00:02:11,625 --> 00:02:13,823
- Good advice.
- And lose the attitude.
41
00:02:13,825 --> 00:02:15,257
(Molly) Less than 10
minutes later, I was in
42
00:02:15,259 --> 00:02:17,456
the back of an ambulance.
43
00:02:17,458 --> 00:02:19,724
I had what's called
rapid onset scoliosis.
44
00:02:19,726 --> 00:02:21,756
My spine was curved
at 63 degrees
45
00:02:21,758 --> 00:02:23,789
and I'd need a seven hour
surgical procedure
46
00:02:23,791 --> 00:02:25,656
that involved
straightening my spine
47
00:02:25,658 --> 00:02:27,090
extracting bone from my hip
48
00:02:27,092 --> 00:02:28,657
fusing 11 vertebrae together
49
00:02:28,659 --> 00:02:30,624
and fastening steel rods
to the fused segments.
50
00:02:30,626 --> 00:02:32,724
- She's gonna be fine.
- Oh!
51
00:02:32,726 --> 00:02:35,857
I wouldn't let her ski anymore,
definitely not Moguls.
52
00:02:35,859 --> 00:02:38,190
And obviously
skiing competitively
53
00:02:38,192 --> 00:02:39,592
is out of the question.
54
00:02:41,025 --> 00:02:43,191
Oh, God, thank you.
55
00:02:43,193 --> 00:02:44,923
(Molly)
I was on skis again in a year.
56
00:02:44,925 --> 00:02:46,357
Running Moguls in 18 months
57
00:02:46,358 --> 00:02:47,590
and by my 20th birthday
58
00:02:47,592 --> 00:02:48,957
I made the U.S. Ski Team.
59
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:50,489
It's the last round
of qualifying
60
00:02:50,491 --> 00:02:52,091
for the Salt Lake City
Olympics.
61
00:02:52,093 --> 00:02:54,056
This is the champion run
at Deer Valley.
62
00:02:54,058 --> 00:02:55,523
The altitude is 8100 feet.
63
00:02:55,525 --> 00:02:57,057
And the pitch is 52 degrees
64
00:02:57,059 --> 00:02:59,590
which is the same as the sides
of the great pyramids.
65
00:02:59,592 --> 00:03:02,824
The wind's 20 to 25 miles
an hour blowing left to right.
66
00:03:02,826 --> 00:03:05,024
It's 3 below zero
at the top of the slope.
67
00:03:05,026 --> 00:03:07,390
And with seventeen skiers
in front of me
68
00:03:07,392 --> 00:03:08,957
it's gonna be like trying
to stick a landing
69
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:10,456
on a frozen infinity pool.
70
00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:11,890
Kiki blew out of her line.
71
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:13,891
Shannon was off balance
on her second landing.
72
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:15,258
(Molly)
He's talking about Kiki Bandy
73
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:16,324
and Shannon Keebler
74
00:03:16,326 --> 00:03:17,723
my two toughest competitors
75
00:03:17,725 --> 00:03:19,457
who had significant
point deductions
76
00:03:19,459 --> 00:03:21,422
on their final runs.
77
00:03:21,424 --> 00:03:22,623
I can make the Olympic team.
78
00:03:22,625 --> 00:03:24,489
- Right now.
- Go get it.
79
00:03:24,491 --> 00:03:26,224
And if I have three prefect
runs in Salt Lake
80
00:03:26,226 --> 00:03:28,057
the best runs of my life
81
00:03:28,059 --> 00:03:30,590
I can beat the Austrians
and the Swiss
82
00:03:30,592 --> 00:03:32,623
and have a realistic shot
at the podium.
83
00:03:32,625 --> 00:03:34,590
Then law school
and then a start up.
84
00:03:34,592 --> 00:03:37,957
A foundation that seeds
entrepreneurial women.
85
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:39,757
My father's
at the bottom of the slope
86
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:41,524
telepathically telling me
to check my line.
87
00:03:41,526 --> 00:03:44,657
- Check your line.
- I check my line.
88
00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:46,326
(male announcer)
Ready?
89
00:03:51,059 --> 00:03:53,056
(Molly) Good snow contact.
Calm upper body.
90
00:03:53,058 --> 00:03:55,690
Legs together. Good shape.
No line deviation.
91
00:03:55,692 --> 00:03:57,860
Set up for the D-Spin and...
92
00:03:59,791 --> 00:04:01,356
stick the landing.
93
00:04:01,358 --> 00:04:02,557
Now, two things you need
to know
94
00:04:02,559 --> 00:04:03,789
before the second trick
95
00:04:03,791 --> 00:04:05,223
which will be a 720.
96
00:04:05,225 --> 00:04:06,856
The first is that
when visibility is bad
97
00:04:06,858 --> 00:04:09,557
the way it is now,
race officials toss pine boughs
98
00:04:09,559 --> 00:04:11,356
on the course
so the skiers have some
99
00:04:11,358 --> 00:04:12,991
foreground depth reference.
100
00:04:12,993 --> 00:04:15,057
The second is that
the tightness of your bindings
101
00:04:15,059 --> 00:04:17,156
is determined by what's
called a DIN setting.
102
00:04:17,158 --> 00:04:19,756
If you're a beginner, your DIN
setting is probably a 2 or 3.
103
00:04:19,758 --> 00:04:21,723
If you're an experienced
weekend skier
104
00:04:21,725 --> 00:04:23,923
it's probably seven or eight.
Mine's fifteen.
105
00:04:23,925 --> 00:04:27,057
My boots are basically welded
to my skis, right?
106
00:04:27,059 --> 00:04:30,423
So how does this happen?
107
00:04:30,425 --> 00:04:32,223
It happened
because I hit a pine bough
108
00:04:32,225 --> 00:04:34,323
that had become frozen
in the snow.
109
00:04:34,325 --> 00:04:36,091
And I hit it so precisely
110
00:04:36,093 --> 00:04:38,590
that it simply snapped
the release of my bindings.
111
00:04:38,592 --> 00:04:40,056
Right in that moment
I didn't have time
112
00:04:40,058 --> 00:04:41,756
to calculate the odds
of that happening
113
00:04:41,758 --> 00:04:43,523
because I was about
to land pretty hard
114
00:04:43,525 --> 00:04:45,490
on my digitally re-mastered
spinal cord
115
00:04:45,492 --> 00:04:47,257
which was being held together
by spare parts
116
00:04:47,259 --> 00:04:48,726
from an Erector Set.
117
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:52,723
[crowd gasps]
118
00:04:52,725 --> 00:04:54,490
[screaming]
119
00:04:54,492 --> 00:04:57,160
- Give her room!
- Get out of the way! Move!
120
00:05:02,725 --> 00:05:04,790
(Molly) None of this has
anything to do with poker.
121
00:05:04,792 --> 00:05:06,757
I'm only mentioning it
because I wanted to say to
122
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:08,390
whoever answered that the worst
thing that could happen
123
00:05:08,392 --> 00:05:11,023
in sports was 4th place
at the Olympics...
124
00:05:11,025 --> 00:05:12,826
Seriously? Fuck you.
125
00:05:32,858 --> 00:05:34,325
[crickets chirping]
126
00:05:55,992 --> 00:05:59,126
[phone ringing]
127
00:06:06,025 --> 00:06:08,623
- Hello?
- Molly Bloom?
128
00:06:08,625 --> 00:06:11,156
- Is this Molly Bloom?
- Yes.
129
00:06:11,158 --> 00:06:13,524
(Tomasino) This is Special
Agent Tomasino of the FBI.
130
00:06:13,526 --> 00:06:15,422
We have a warrant
for your arrest.
131
00:06:15,424 --> 00:06:16,690
- Sorry?
- We're outside your door.
132
00:06:16,692 --> 00:06:19,223
We want you
to come out here. Okay?
133
00:06:19,225 --> 00:06:21,690
Listen to me now. Make sure
we can see your hands.
134
00:06:21,692 --> 00:06:22,556
Who is this?
135
00:06:22,558 --> 00:06:24,256
This is Special Agent Tomasino
136
00:06:24,258 --> 00:06:25,556
of the FBI, Miss Bloom.
137
00:06:25,558 --> 00:06:26,956
You've got 30 seconds to open
138
00:06:26,958 --> 00:06:28,723
your door
or we're breaking it down.
139
00:06:28,725 --> 00:06:31,189
Do you understand
what I just said?
140
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:32,659
[door unlocks]
141
00:06:36,325 --> 00:06:37,823
[gun cocks]
142
00:06:37,825 --> 00:06:40,156
(Tomasino)
Hands in the air!
143
00:06:40,158 --> 00:06:42,690
Put your hands in the air!
144
00:06:42,692 --> 00:06:45,090
- There's been a mistake.
- Are you Molly Bloom?
145
00:06:45,092 --> 00:06:49,489
I want you to walk toward me
very slowly. Okay? Go ahead.
146
00:06:49,491 --> 00:06:52,125
- I'm...
- Slower. Slower. Slow down.
147
00:06:53,157 --> 00:06:54,757
Come on. Come on.
148
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:57,389
I'm having a hard time seeing,
the, the flashlights in my eyes.
149
00:06:57,391 --> 00:07:00,857
- Walk slower.
- Yes, sir.
150
00:07:00,859 --> 00:07:04,389
(female #1) Hands on the wall.
Spread your arms and legs.
151
00:07:04,391 --> 00:07:06,222
(Tomasino) Is there anyone
in your apartment right now?
152
00:07:06,224 --> 00:07:07,590
Uh, no, sir.
153
00:07:07,592 --> 00:07:09,056
Are there any firearms
in your apartment right now?
154
00:07:09,058 --> 00:07:11,156
- No, sir.
- Go.
155
00:07:11,158 --> 00:07:13,524
You're under arrest for running
an illegal gambling operation.
156
00:07:13,526 --> 00:07:15,590
- Do you understand?
- Uh, yes.
157
00:07:15,592 --> 00:07:17,557
(Tomasino)
Say you understand.
158
00:07:17,559 --> 00:07:19,590
I understand, but
there's been a mistake.
159
00:07:19,592 --> 00:07:21,122
Because I haven't
run a game in two years.
160
00:07:21,124 --> 00:07:22,222
I want you to take a look at
161
00:07:22,224 --> 00:07:23,789
this piece of paper right here.
162
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:25,459
Can you see what
it says at the top?
163
00:07:27,592 --> 00:07:28,490
Yes.
164
00:07:28,492 --> 00:07:31,189
Read to me
what it says at the top.
165
00:07:31,191 --> 00:07:34,460
"United States of America
vs. Molly Bloom."
166
00:07:37,192 --> 00:07:38,760
I bet heavy on the favorite.
167
00:07:41,525 --> 00:07:42,789
(Larry)
Alright, what do you, um...
168
00:07:42,791 --> 00:07:45,056
think about
the following concepts?
169
00:07:45,058 --> 00:07:46,422
Just gonna run them by you.
170
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:50,524
- Marriage.
- It is a trap.
171
00:07:50,526 --> 00:07:53,525
- Society?
- It is a joke.
172
00:07:54,858 --> 00:07:57,156
People.
173
00:07:57,158 --> 00:08:00,126
I... think there's good and bad.
174
00:08:02,091 --> 00:08:03,559
But I don't trust them.
175
00:08:04,791 --> 00:08:07,189
I don't trust people.
176
00:08:07,191 --> 00:08:08,823
(Molly) Every year on our
birthdays, my father would
177
00:08:08,825 --> 00:08:10,924
interview my younger
brothers and me.
178
00:08:10,926 --> 00:08:13,423
(Larry) Who are the heroes
or heroines in your life?
179
00:08:13,425 --> 00:08:17,256
Who, uh... who do you
really respect?
180
00:08:17,258 --> 00:08:18,957
I don't have any heroes.
181
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:20,757
(Larry)
You don't have any heroes.
182
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,490
(Molly)
How's this for hubris?
183
00:08:22,492 --> 00:08:24,624
I don't.
184
00:08:24,626 --> 00:08:27,723
Because if I reach the goals
I set out for myself
185
00:08:27,725 --> 00:08:31,589
then the person I become,
that'll be my hero.
186
00:08:31,591 --> 00:08:33,590
(Molly)
Even by teenage girl standards
187
00:08:33,592 --> 00:08:35,456
I would appear
to be irrationally angry
188
00:08:35,458 --> 00:08:37,122
at nothing in particular.
189
00:08:37,124 --> 00:08:41,089
It would be another 22 years
before I'd find out why.
190
00:08:41,091 --> 00:08:43,123
After my colossal wipe out
at Deer Valley
191
00:08:43,125 --> 00:08:45,991
I decided to take a year off
before law school.
192
00:08:45,993 --> 00:08:48,456
I needed to go away,
sever myself from reality
193
00:08:48,458 --> 00:08:50,489
and come up with a new plan.
194
00:08:50,491 --> 00:08:52,524
So I chose Los Angeles.
195
00:08:52,526 --> 00:08:54,190
A friend of mine
from the ski team
196
00:08:54,192 --> 00:08:56,957
had agreed to let me crash
on her couch for a while.
197
00:08:56,959 --> 00:08:59,422
My father had disapproved
of postponing law school
198
00:08:59,424 --> 00:09:01,356
and so, declined to help out.
199
00:09:01,358 --> 00:09:04,257
But I had $1700 dollars I'd
saved from babysitting money
200
00:09:04,259 --> 00:09:08,123
and that would support me until
I found a waitressing job.
201
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:11,155
I'd already had a career
and retired from it.
202
00:09:11,157 --> 00:09:15,256
I wanted to be young
for a while in warm weather.
203
00:09:15,258 --> 00:09:19,390
I think that's what I wanted at
first. It's hard to remember.
204
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,724
I got a job working
bottle service at a club
205
00:09:21,726 --> 00:09:24,824
in Hollywood
called "Nacional Nightclub."
206
00:09:24,826 --> 00:09:26,856
It was Cuban themed,
so my uniform
207
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:29,460
was camouflaged short-shorts
and a wife beater.
208
00:09:30,926 --> 00:09:32,790
The promoter would go over
which record producer
209
00:09:32,792 --> 00:09:35,490
was sitting where, which
hot designers, which Lakers
210
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:38,323
and Borislava the Bulgarian
billionaire, who didn't drink.
211
00:09:38,325 --> 00:09:40,789
But he ran a $100,000 bar tab.
212
00:09:40,791 --> 00:09:42,322
My job was
to get people to spend
213
00:09:42,324 --> 00:09:44,122
more money than they needed to.
214
00:09:44,124 --> 00:09:45,457
Could we get a bottle of Skyy?
215
00:09:45,459 --> 00:09:46,824
You guys look like
you deserve Grey Goose.
216
00:09:46,826 --> 00:09:49,390
What do guys who deserve
Grey Goose look like?
217
00:09:49,392 --> 00:09:50,423
To begin with,
they've got a bottle
218
00:09:50,425 --> 00:09:51,824
of Grey Goose in front of them.
219
00:09:51,826 --> 00:09:53,924
You're quick. Very clever.
220
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:56,123
Uh, alright, yeah. Grey Goose.
221
00:09:56,125 --> 00:09:58,390
(Molly) They just spent an
additional $300 dollars
222
00:09:58,392 --> 00:10:00,422
bringing their total
to $900 dollars
223
00:10:00,424 --> 00:10:02,857
for $8 and 50 cents
worth of vodka.
224
00:10:02,859 --> 00:10:04,756
But the club doesn't
need you to buy a bottle.
225
00:10:04,758 --> 00:10:06,422
They need you
to buy five bottles.
226
00:10:06,424 --> 00:10:07,923
So these girls over here
227
00:10:07,925 --> 00:10:09,856
they let you buy them
shots for a living.
228
00:10:09,858 --> 00:10:11,623
It would be like waiting
in a long line to get into
229
00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:14,090
the Gap so you can pay
1000% percent mark-up
230
00:10:14,092 --> 00:10:16,759
to buy all the employees
a pair of pants.
231
00:10:18,858 --> 00:10:21,290
I only had one shift a week.
I didn't wanna tell my parents
232
00:10:21,292 --> 00:10:23,789
I was a cocktail waitress and
back then, I never turned down
233
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:25,657
an opportunity
to make more money.
234
00:10:25,659 --> 00:10:27,756
So I found a second job
as an office assistant.
235
00:10:27,758 --> 00:10:30,389
And that's how I ended up
working for Dean Keith.
236
00:10:30,391 --> 00:10:31,990
[instrumental music]
237
00:10:31,992 --> 00:10:34,823
Dean was a partner
in Black Hues Investments.
238
00:10:34,825 --> 00:10:37,189
He was a regular at the club,
and one night he said...
239
00:10:37,191 --> 00:10:38,660
People seem to take to you.
240
00:10:40,158 --> 00:10:42,155
Hey, how would you like to
get paid to go to grad school
241
00:10:42,157 --> 00:10:43,889
and get an MBA
in how life works?
242
00:10:43,891 --> 00:10:45,990
What makes you think
you know and I don't?
243
00:10:45,992 --> 00:10:48,922
I'm a regular here
and you're a waitress here.
244
00:10:48,924 --> 00:10:50,589
Look at the fuckin' scoreboard.
245
00:10:50,591 --> 00:10:52,889
(Molly) Dean explained what
my job was by saying...
246
00:10:52,891 --> 00:10:55,857
Me. I'm your job.
247
00:10:55,859 --> 00:10:58,624
(Molly) I answered the phone, made
coffee runs, set appointments.
248
00:10:58,626 --> 00:11:00,422
- Made spread sheets.
- What is that?
249
00:11:00,424 --> 00:11:01,990
And showed Dean
what a spreadsheet was.
250
00:11:01,992 --> 00:11:03,523
Spreadsheet.
251
00:11:03,525 --> 00:11:05,623
But I made $450 dollars
a week on top
252
00:11:05,625 --> 00:11:07,689
of the $300
I was making at the club.
253
00:11:07,691 --> 00:11:10,790
Which would be enough
to get off my friend's couch.
254
00:11:10,792 --> 00:11:13,223
I remember the day started
by being about bagels.
255
00:11:13,225 --> 00:11:14,456
- This is Molly.
- Get to the office.
256
00:11:14,458 --> 00:11:16,125
(Dean)
Pick up bagels.
257
00:11:18,158 --> 00:11:20,022
Do you mean now?
258
00:11:20,024 --> 00:11:22,557
(Molly)
Dean was a Hollywood staple.
259
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,390
Over leveraged. Going broke.
260
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:26,222
Trying to prove
he wasn't broke and making
261
00:11:26,224 --> 00:11:29,189
a true effort to be
as vulgar as possible.
262
00:11:29,191 --> 00:11:30,990
Honestly making an effort.
263
00:11:30,992 --> 00:11:32,789
I hadn't told anyone
I was a skier
264
00:11:32,791 --> 00:11:34,556
and it was hard not
to laugh when Dean said...
265
00:11:34,558 --> 00:11:36,155
Anyone ever teach you
how to fuckin' hurry?
266
00:11:36,157 --> 00:11:38,623
- No.
- What are those?
267
00:11:38,625 --> 00:11:40,189
Bagels.
268
00:11:40,191 --> 00:11:41,590
- Are these from Blue Bell?
- Yeah.
269
00:11:41,592 --> 00:11:43,757
- It's on the way from my house.
- Seriously?
270
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:47,089
You might as well have stopped
at a fuckin' homeless shelter!
271
00:11:47,091 --> 00:11:48,357
You might as well
have walked into
272
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:50,822
a mother fucking
homeless shelter and said
273
00:11:50,824 --> 00:11:53,956
"I'd like a dozen bagels from
this homeless shelter, please."
274
00:11:53,958 --> 00:11:58,489
I do not eat bagels
from Blue-fucking-Bell, Molly
275
00:11:58,491 --> 00:12:02,223
because these
are poor people bagels!
276
00:12:02,225 --> 00:12:03,556
From where would you like me
to get your bagels...
277
00:12:03,558 --> 00:12:05,090
Forget about the fuckin' bagels.
278
00:12:05,092 --> 00:12:06,190
- Done.
- Except smarten up.
279
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:07,589
- Got it.
- Hang on.
280
00:12:07,591 --> 00:12:09,155
(Molly)
Like I said, the day started
281
00:12:09,157 --> 00:12:12,523
by being about bagels,
but that would abruptly change.
282
00:12:12,525 --> 00:12:14,524
My weekly poker game
is moving to the Cobra Lounge.
283
00:12:14,526 --> 00:12:16,489
Tomorrow night,
and then every Tuesday night.
284
00:12:16,491 --> 00:12:17,623
You'll help run it.
285
00:12:17,625 --> 00:12:19,155
Take these names and numbers.
286
00:12:19,157 --> 00:12:20,757
Tell them to bring
ten grand in cash
287
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,660
for the first buy-in.
The blinds are 51/100.
288
00:12:24,891 --> 00:12:26,223
- And Molly.
- Yeah.
289
00:12:26,225 --> 00:12:27,858
Don't fucking tell anybody.
290
00:12:35,024 --> 00:12:38,590
(Molly) I'd regarded Dean as a
nitwit when I regarded him at all.
291
00:12:38,592 --> 00:12:41,524
But on that pad were nine names
along with phone numbers of
292
00:12:41,526 --> 00:12:44,724
some of the wealthiest and most
famous people in the world.
293
00:12:44,726 --> 00:12:47,855
I put the numbers in my phone
and composed a simple message.
294
00:12:47,857 --> 00:12:50,290
There'd be a game tomorrow
night at the Cobra Lounge.
295
00:12:50,292 --> 00:12:52,193
There was
a $10,000 dollar buy-in.
296
00:12:54,659 --> 00:12:56,825
All nine players confirmed
that they'd be there.
297
00:12:59,924 --> 00:13:03,322
All within 90 seconds
of my sending the text.
298
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:06,723
(Molly) The Cobra Lounge sits on
the edge of the Sunset Strip.
299
00:13:06,725 --> 00:13:09,690
And in it's heyday was famous
for introducing unknown bands
300
00:13:09,692 --> 00:13:12,755
like "The Doors"
and "The Beach Boys."
301
00:13:12,757 --> 00:13:15,290
All I knew was school work
and skiing.
302
00:13:15,292 --> 00:13:16,889
I'd always figured
sophistication
303
00:13:16,891 --> 00:13:18,890
would be easy to learn
if I ever needed it.
304
00:13:18,892 --> 00:13:20,890
My cheese platter had
a sticker that read
305
00:13:20,892 --> 00:13:24,457
"Cheese From the Great State
of Michigan."
306
00:13:24,459 --> 00:13:26,657
Diego, a professional dealer
307
00:13:26,659 --> 00:13:29,556
was setting up the table
when I got there.
308
00:13:29,558 --> 00:13:31,590
I Googled "What type of music
309
00:13:31,592 --> 00:13:33,623
do poker players
like to listen to?"
310
00:13:33,625 --> 00:13:35,423
and then tried to figure out
how to make a playlist
311
00:13:35,425 --> 00:13:37,456
out of one Kenny Rogers song.
312
00:13:37,458 --> 00:13:40,289
I set up the bar...
313
00:13:40,291 --> 00:13:41,889
put out my cheese platter...
314
00:13:41,891 --> 00:13:43,556
and positioned myself
at the door where I'd been
315
00:13:43,558 --> 00:13:44,822
instructed to only let in
316
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,422
the names on the list.
317
00:13:46,424 --> 00:13:47,989
I was wearing my best dress,
which I had bought
318
00:13:47,991 --> 00:13:51,456
two years earlier
at J.C. Penney for $88.
319
00:13:51,458 --> 00:13:53,489
The players started to arrive.
320
00:13:53,491 --> 00:13:55,956
I introduced myself as Molly,
Dean's assistant.
321
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:57,125
For you.
322
00:13:58,558 --> 00:14:00,392
Asked if I could
get them a drink.
323
00:14:03,992 --> 00:14:07,293
And took from each of them
$10,000 in cash.
324
00:14:09,757 --> 00:14:11,989
- Hi.
- Hi.
325
00:14:11,991 --> 00:14:13,158
I'm...
326
00:14:15,857 --> 00:14:17,089
I know.
327
00:14:17,091 --> 00:14:19,155
- Your boss...
- Everybody here?
328
00:14:19,157 --> 00:14:20,489
- Yeah.
- Hey, buddy.
329
00:14:20,491 --> 00:14:22,326
Fuck off,
I'm gonna own your shit.
330
00:14:23,591 --> 00:14:26,055
Ugly dress.
Ugly shoes.
331
00:14:26,057 --> 00:14:27,526
Let's play!
332
00:14:30,158 --> 00:14:32,688
(Molly) Diego fanned nine
cards out on the table
333
00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:34,858
and the players
chose for seats.
334
00:14:44,324 --> 00:14:46,223
(Diego)
Eleven and eleven...
335
00:14:46,225 --> 00:14:48,423
He checked,
the action's on you.
336
00:14:48,425 --> 00:14:52,055
(Molly) I just finished
counting out $90,000 in cash.
337
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:56,923
I was in a room
with movie stars, directors.
338
00:14:56,925 --> 00:14:59,422
Rappers. Boxers.
339
00:14:59,424 --> 00:15:01,393
- He's in trouble.
- And business titans.
340
00:15:02,625 --> 00:15:05,523
They were going all in,
all the time.
341
00:15:05,525 --> 00:15:08,257
Burning through their
buy-ins over and over.
342
00:15:08,259 --> 00:15:10,622
- Here you go. Good luck
- Thank you so much.
343
00:15:10,624 --> 00:15:12,956
I don't know.
344
00:15:12,958 --> 00:15:16,155
(Molly) I Googled every word
I heard that I didn't know.
345
00:15:16,157 --> 00:15:17,557
- Flop. River.
- Fourth Street.
346
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:19,589
(Molly)
Fourth Street. Tilt. Cooler.
347
00:15:19,591 --> 00:15:21,755
- Boat. Nuts.
- Yeah, he's pot committed.
348
00:15:21,757 --> 00:15:22,757
Playing the rush.
349
00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:27,090
You keeping track
of the buy-ins?
350
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,689
- Yeah.
- Where? Where's the paper?
351
00:15:29,691 --> 00:15:30,890
Spreadsheet.
352
00:15:30,892 --> 00:15:33,826
[indistinct chatter]
353
00:15:37,424 --> 00:15:38,892
(male #2)
Yeah, motherfucker.
354
00:15:42,125 --> 00:15:43,560
All in.
355
00:15:45,392 --> 00:15:46,855
(Molly)
The game ended at 3:30.
356
00:15:46,857 --> 00:15:48,890
And when it did,
that's when Dean shouted out...
357
00:15:48,892 --> 00:15:54,022
Hey, tip Molly if you wanna
get invited back next week.
358
00:15:54,024 --> 00:15:55,656
(Molly)
Tip Molly.
359
00:15:55,658 --> 00:15:59,089
Deep down, I didn't like
the sound of that.
360
00:15:59,091 --> 00:16:00,589
Deep down, I knew
that when your boss says...
361
00:16:00,591 --> 00:16:01,889
- And Molly.
- Yeah.
362
00:16:01,891 --> 00:16:03,722
Don't fucking tell anybody.
363
00:16:03,724 --> 00:16:04,956
(Molly) That's usually
not the beginning
364
00:16:04,958 --> 00:16:06,223
of a promising law career.
365
00:16:06,225 --> 00:16:07,758
See you next week.
366
00:16:10,157 --> 00:16:12,357
(Molly)
But that was deep down.
367
00:16:12,359 --> 00:16:14,358
I just made $3000.
368
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:41,722
What are you reading?
369
00:16:41,724 --> 00:16:43,189
"The Crucible."
370
00:16:43,191 --> 00:16:44,788
For school?
371
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:46,259
My father assigned it.
372
00:16:49,591 --> 00:16:52,257
Do you know how many witches
were burned at Salem?
373
00:16:52,259 --> 00:16:53,855
- How many?
- None.
374
00:16:53,857 --> 00:16:56,356
They didn't burn witches.
It's a myth. They hanged them.
375
00:16:56,358 --> 00:16:59,558
Or drowned them, or crushed them
with heavy rocks.
376
00:17:01,524 --> 00:17:03,257
Wait. Aren't...
You're Molly Bloom.
377
00:17:03,259 --> 00:17:05,222
- Right?
- Yeah.
378
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:07,656
You don't look the same
as in your photos.
379
00:17:07,658 --> 00:17:09,126
None of us do.
380
00:17:10,292 --> 00:17:12,123
- Molly.
- Yes.
381
00:17:12,125 --> 00:17:13,655
- I'm Charlie Jaffey.
- Oh.
382
00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:15,622
Thank you again
for seeing me so early.
383
00:17:15,624 --> 00:17:18,023
- This is my daughter, Stella.
- We met.
384
00:17:18,025 --> 00:17:20,655
Isabel will be here in 45
minutes to take you to school.
385
00:17:20,657 --> 00:17:22,489
- Finish your math?
- Yeah.
386
00:17:22,491 --> 00:17:24,422
- Civ? You know it?
- Yeah.
387
00:17:24,424 --> 00:17:25,989
Could you teach it
in class today?
388
00:17:25,991 --> 00:17:29,389
If I asked you to teach me
Roman Law, could you do it?
389
00:17:29,391 --> 00:17:31,524
- Yes.
- Okay.
390
00:17:33,424 --> 00:17:35,457
So. First things first.
391
00:17:35,459 --> 00:17:37,379
When was the last time you
slept? Today's Friday.
392
00:17:38,389 --> 00:17:40,289
Tuesday morning at 5 a.m.,
I was arrested by the FBI.
393
00:17:40,291 --> 00:17:42,523
I spent Tuesday
in L.A. County Jail.
394
00:17:42,525 --> 00:17:44,222
I was assessed to be
a minimal flight risk
395
00:17:44,224 --> 00:17:45,956
and bail was set
at a $100,000.
396
00:17:45,958 --> 00:17:47,656
My mother signed over her house.
397
00:17:47,658 --> 00:17:49,655
I was released on Wednesday
and ordered to appear
398
00:17:49,657 --> 00:17:52,890
in Federal Court
in New York's Southern District.
399
00:17:52,892 --> 00:17:54,589
10 a.m. today.
400
00:17:54,591 --> 00:17:55,625
In here.
401
00:17:56,457 --> 00:17:58,126
Close that, will you?
402
00:18:01,790 --> 00:18:04,755
I flew here Wednesday and met
with five attorneys yesterday.
403
00:18:04,757 --> 00:18:07,656
Have a seat.
You didn't hire any of them?
404
00:18:07,658 --> 00:18:09,357
Three of them had
already been taken.
405
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,488
Yeah, 31 people were named
in your indictment.
406
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:12,956
It's Black Friday
for criminal lawyers.
407
00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:14,189
How about the other two?
408
00:18:14,191 --> 00:18:15,256
One told me money was his
409
00:18:15,258 --> 00:18:16,688
second favorite form of payment.
410
00:18:16,690 --> 00:18:18,155
- I know him.
- The fifth was also taken.
411
00:18:18,157 --> 00:18:20,390
- But he recommended I call you.
- Why?
412
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:21,922
I told him I wanted someone
who'd worked in
413
00:18:21,924 --> 00:18:24,624
the prosecutor's office and
wasn't even a little bit shady.
414
00:18:26,957 --> 00:18:29,155
Do you know about me?
415
00:18:29,157 --> 00:18:31,956
Um, I've been briefed a little
by my daughter, who knows
416
00:18:31,958 --> 00:18:34,421
a lot about your story
because her mother's a moron.
417
00:18:34,423 --> 00:18:37,655
- Her mother reads the tabloids?
- Yeah, and I read them too.
418
00:18:37,657 --> 00:18:39,956
I read your indictment
after I got your call last night
419
00:18:39,958 --> 00:18:41,855
and I bought your book.
420
00:18:41,857 --> 00:18:44,090
I'm only on page 112,
but, Molly, did you commit
421
00:18:44,092 --> 00:18:45,856
a felony and then write
a book about it?
422
00:18:45,858 --> 00:18:47,257
I haven't run a game
in over two years.
423
00:18:47,259 --> 00:18:48,489
Not to spoil the ending,
but that's
424
00:18:48,491 --> 00:18:49,655
when the government
raided my game
425
00:18:49,657 --> 00:18:51,289
and took all my money assuming
426
00:18:51,291 --> 00:18:53,822
all of it was made illegally,
which it wasn't.
427
00:18:53,824 --> 00:18:55,856
I've been living in my
mother's house in Telluride
428
00:18:55,858 --> 00:18:59,588
and... I wrote the book so I
could start paying off debts.
429
00:18:59,590 --> 00:19:01,589
I just finished the press tour
for the book and I moved back
430
00:19:01,591 --> 00:19:04,556
to Los Angeles
so I could start over.
431
00:19:04,558 --> 00:19:08,222
Hm. You ran games in L.A.
for roughly eight years?
432
00:19:08,224 --> 00:19:10,389
- Yeah. Right.
- Without taking a rake?
433
00:19:10,391 --> 00:19:12,223
And then you ran games
in New York for roughly two.
434
00:19:12,225 --> 00:19:14,357
Well, I took a rake
for the last six months.
435
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,989
In the first 112 pages,
you name a bunch of names.
436
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,323
- Sorry?
- Uh.
437
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:21,555
You named the names
of some movie stars
438
00:19:21,557 --> 00:19:23,856
that played in your game.
439
00:19:23,858 --> 00:19:25,388
Yeah.
440
00:19:25,390 --> 00:19:27,591
That not against
some sort of poker code?
441
00:19:29,790 --> 00:19:31,323
Am I supposed to be sitting
all the way over here?
442
00:19:31,325 --> 00:19:33,159
- Can you hear me from there?
- Yeah.
443
00:19:34,791 --> 00:19:36,355
Are you taking me
on as a client?
444
00:19:36,357 --> 00:19:38,355
My retainer is $250,000.
445
00:19:38,357 --> 00:19:40,825
Do you have $250,000?
446
00:19:41,992 --> 00:19:44,489
No. I don't have anything.
447
00:19:44,491 --> 00:19:45,923
What about the sales
from your book?
448
00:19:45,925 --> 00:19:48,323
The book isn't
jumping off the shelves.
449
00:19:48,325 --> 00:19:50,323
But I will find a way
to pay you, Charlie.
450
00:19:50,325 --> 00:19:51,691
Ask around about me.
451
00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:54,556
Unfortunately,
the people I'd ask
452
00:19:54,558 --> 00:19:56,456
are goin' away for a while.
453
00:19:56,458 --> 00:19:59,355
What happened on Tuesday morning
was called a "GPS Takedown."
454
00:19:59,357 --> 00:20:01,622
Thirty-one people were arrested
in the same instant.
455
00:20:01,624 --> 00:20:04,155
Something in excess
of 600 agents were dispatched
456
00:20:04,157 --> 00:20:05,855
to locations
in New York and L.A.
457
00:20:05,857 --> 00:20:08,055
in coordinated strikes
with automatic weapons.
458
00:20:08,057 --> 00:20:10,290
And you're trying to tell me
you're in my office
459
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:13,123
because you raked a game
of Texas Hold 'Em?
460
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:15,355
Have you seen the other names
in your indictment?
461
00:20:15,357 --> 00:20:17,656
"Nicholas Kozlowski.
Peter Druzhinsky.
462
00:20:17,658 --> 00:20:19,421
Peter Antonovich.
The Gershen Brothers."
463
00:20:19,423 --> 00:20:20,923
I mean come on, Molly,
just how deep
464
00:20:20,925 --> 00:20:22,256
into the Russian mob were you?
465
00:20:22,258 --> 00:20:23,791
Because your book doesn't say.
466
00:20:40,358 --> 00:20:43,222
Why are you making your daughter
read "The Crucible?"
467
00:20:43,224 --> 00:20:44,655
So she can see
what happens to a group
468
00:20:44,657 --> 00:20:46,456
of bored teenage girls
when they gossip.
469
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:48,156
- I never read the play.
- Many consider it to be...
470
00:20:48,158 --> 00:20:49,589
The best play
of the 20th century.
471
00:20:49,591 --> 00:20:50,789
Is that what
many consider it to be...
472
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:53,288
I don't defend
violent criminals.
473
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:55,389
- I've never hurt anyone...
- Your friends have.
474
00:20:55,391 --> 00:20:57,389
I've never heard of 90%
of the names...
475
00:20:57,391 --> 00:20:58,488
- On the indictment.
- And the other 10%?
476
00:20:58,490 --> 00:20:59,589
I didn't know they were
connected.
477
00:20:59,591 --> 00:21:00,822
I'd no idea
who they were.
478
00:21:00,824 --> 00:21:02,422
Let me ask you a question.
479
00:21:02,424 --> 00:21:05,389
The character in the book
you call "Dean Keith"
480
00:21:05,391 --> 00:21:08,223
he didn't say
"Poor people bagels," did he?
481
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:09,589
I think I know who he is.
482
00:21:09,591 --> 00:21:10,755
I think I know
a real estate lawyer
483
00:21:10,757 --> 00:21:12,056
that worked with him
and quit.
484
00:21:12,058 --> 00:21:13,422
He said...
485
00:21:13,424 --> 00:21:14,858
"Nigger bagels," right?
486
00:21:20,858 --> 00:21:22,756
I'm not telling you his real
name. He's not involved in this.
487
00:21:22,758 --> 00:21:24,892
But you were willing
to name some names.
488
00:21:28,957 --> 00:21:31,422
[chair scraping the floor]
489
00:21:31,424 --> 00:21:33,056
Why is the FBI arresting me
490
00:21:33,058 --> 00:21:34,555
two years after
I stopped running games?
491
00:21:34,557 --> 00:21:36,723
Were you paid extra
in your book deal
492
00:21:36,725 --> 00:21:38,325
to name the movie stars?
493
00:21:41,724 --> 00:21:44,122
I'm not your guy, Molly.
494
00:21:44,124 --> 00:21:47,391
I wish you good luck,
but this just isn't for me.
495
00:21:48,358 --> 00:21:50,193
[Charlie sighs]
496
00:21:55,725 --> 00:21:57,189
[sighs]
497
00:21:57,191 --> 00:21:59,388
I didn't know
who the Russians were.
498
00:21:59,390 --> 00:22:01,788
I can get you
the $250,000.
499
00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:03,256
I left 10 times
that on the street.
500
00:22:03,258 --> 00:22:04,355
It'll just take some time.
501
00:22:04,357 --> 00:22:05,589
We regularly lend out our best
502
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:07,889
litigators like me to the ACLU
503
00:22:07,891 --> 00:22:10,288
Southern Poverty Law Center,
veterans groups.
504
00:22:10,290 --> 00:22:12,523
But I don't think
I can convince my partners
505
00:22:12,525 --> 00:22:14,656
to take a flyer
on "The Poker Princess."
506
00:22:14,658 --> 00:22:16,455
I didn't name myself
"The Poker Princess."
507
00:22:16,457 --> 00:22:19,788
Uh, "Molly Bloom, the self
proclaimed Poker Princess..."
508
00:22:19,790 --> 00:22:20,956
Is that "Us Weekly?"
509
00:22:20,958 --> 00:22:22,589
Yeah, I would agree
it would be unusual
510
00:22:22,591 --> 00:22:24,523
for them to print
something that wasn't true.
511
00:22:24,525 --> 00:22:25,990
But it's not true,
and if you think
512
00:22:25,992 --> 00:22:28,689
a Princess can do what I did,
you're incorrect.
513
00:22:28,691 --> 00:22:30,256
I'm getting you don't
think much of me.
514
00:22:30,258 --> 00:22:32,256
But what if every one
of your ill-informed
515
00:22:32,258 --> 00:22:34,255
unsophisticated opinions
about me were wrong?
516
00:22:34,257 --> 00:22:35,589
- I'd be amazed.
- Yeah. You know what, bud?
517
00:22:35,591 --> 00:22:37,156
- You would.
- You don't need me.
518
00:22:37,158 --> 00:22:40,126
- You need a publicist.
- No, I need a fucking lawyer!
519
00:22:47,058 --> 00:22:48,692
You didn't answer my question.
520
00:22:51,490 --> 00:22:53,225
When was the last time
you slept?
521
00:22:56,224 --> 00:22:57,692
It was a while ago.
522
00:23:06,157 --> 00:23:07,923
Alright.
523
00:23:07,925 --> 00:23:09,588
I'm gonna walk you through
the arraignment this morning
524
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:11,023
'cause you shouldn't
do that alone.
525
00:23:11,025 --> 00:23:12,989
I'm gonna put some bodies
on you and walk you
526
00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:15,022
through the side door,
'cause I don't know
527
00:23:15,024 --> 00:23:16,056
what you've got on the Russians.
528
00:23:16,058 --> 00:23:17,556
But neither do they.
529
00:23:17,558 --> 00:23:19,322
And the Russians
take care of shit.
530
00:23:19,324 --> 00:23:20,859
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
531
00:23:23,658 --> 00:23:24,725
Yes.
532
00:23:25,992 --> 00:23:28,892
[instrumental music]
533
00:23:30,357 --> 00:23:33,321
Almost. You gotta keep
your eyes up, alright?
534
00:23:33,323 --> 00:23:34,856
Always gotta look ahead.
535
00:23:34,858 --> 00:23:35,889
If you look down
536
00:23:35,891 --> 00:23:37,124
that's where
you're gonna go.
537
00:23:38,958 --> 00:23:40,188
Alright?
538
00:23:40,190 --> 00:23:41,421
If you look down
539
00:23:41,423 --> 00:23:43,556
that's where you'll go,
alright?
540
00:23:43,558 --> 00:23:45,392
- Yeah.
- Alright.
541
00:23:48,058 --> 00:23:49,523
Let's go.
542
00:23:49,525 --> 00:23:51,023
(Molly)
My father's a therapist
543
00:23:51,025 --> 00:23:53,155
and psychology professor
at Colorado State.
544
00:23:53,157 --> 00:23:54,588
No! No!
545
00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:55,655
(Molly)
The second rule of his house
546
00:23:55,657 --> 00:23:57,221
is that academic excellence
547
00:23:57,223 --> 00:23:59,256
and athletic excellence
weren't optional.
548
00:23:59,258 --> 00:24:01,421
You can't be afraid of it,
alright?
549
00:24:01,423 --> 00:24:03,155
Don't play defense.
550
00:24:03,157 --> 00:24:04,289
(Molly)
And the first rule
551
00:24:04,291 --> 00:24:05,556
was that he made all the rules.
552
00:24:05,558 --> 00:24:06,422
Again.
553
00:24:06,424 --> 00:24:08,154
Dad, I'm pretty tired.
554
00:24:08,156 --> 00:24:10,188
Hon, she's tired.
555
00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:12,121
We've been out here
since 6 o'clock.
556
00:24:12,123 --> 00:24:13,591
Her lips are blue.
557
00:24:14,957 --> 00:24:16,591
- You're tired?
- Yeah.
558
00:24:19,857 --> 00:24:21,324
What's another word for tired?
559
00:24:23,358 --> 00:24:26,192
Name a synonym for tired
and we'll get in the car.
560
00:24:27,258 --> 00:24:28,723
Weak.
561
00:24:28,725 --> 00:24:30,388
That's right.
562
00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:31,624
Let's go home.
563
00:24:32,257 --> 00:24:34,455
Again.
564
00:24:34,457 --> 00:24:36,922
(Molly) I decided to postpone
law school another year.
565
00:24:36,924 --> 00:24:39,089
After six weeks of tips,
I went to Barneys
566
00:24:39,091 --> 00:24:42,022
and asked for a dress that made
me look nothing like myself.
567
00:24:42,024 --> 00:24:43,955
I'd overheard stories
about games that folded
568
00:24:43,957 --> 00:24:47,421
after one bad night and I
needed this one to keep going.
569
00:24:47,423 --> 00:24:49,822
And I needed to bring
value to it.
570
00:24:49,824 --> 00:24:51,990
(Molly) I knew if I
wanted to cement my place
571
00:24:51,992 --> 00:24:53,855
there was one guy I needed
to team up with.
572
00:24:53,857 --> 00:24:55,022
Ten thousand.
573
00:24:55,024 --> 00:24:56,689
(Molly)
And that was this man.
574
00:24:56,691 --> 00:24:59,121
The game had regulars
and the game had guests.
575
00:24:59,123 --> 00:25:01,388
And four of the regulars
were famous actors.
576
00:25:01,390 --> 00:25:03,322
And I'm gonna call one of them
Player X.
577
00:25:03,324 --> 00:25:04,588
I'm all in.
578
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:05,655
(Molly)
Player X subscribed
579
00:25:05,657 --> 00:25:07,222
to the belief that money won
580
00:25:07,224 --> 00:25:08,723
was twice as good
as money earned.
581
00:25:08,725 --> 00:25:11,422
He lived to beat people
and take their money.
582
00:25:11,424 --> 00:25:13,154
Here's Player X
talking to one of the guests
583
00:25:13,156 --> 00:25:14,421
into folding the winning hand.
584
00:25:14,423 --> 00:25:16,788
I swear on... look at me.
585
00:25:16,790 --> 00:25:19,191
I swear on my mother's life,
I have you.
586
00:25:21,925 --> 00:25:25,322
(Molly) Player X was the best
player at the table, and tonight...
587
00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:26,792
this guy was the worst.
588
00:25:30,524 --> 00:25:32,088
He's staring at his cards.
589
00:25:32,090 --> 00:25:33,689
Even a reasonably good amateur
590
00:25:33,691 --> 00:25:35,922
would know it was
mathematically the best hand.
591
00:25:35,924 --> 00:25:38,155
Which in poker
is called "The Nuts."
592
00:25:38,157 --> 00:25:39,923
There was $47,000 in the pot
593
00:25:39,925 --> 00:25:41,556
and the guest
was holding the nuts.
594
00:25:41,558 --> 00:25:43,021
But he was starting
to get confused
595
00:25:43,023 --> 00:25:44,689
because a movie star
was talking to him.
596
00:25:44,691 --> 00:25:46,856
My mother's life man,
I'm not messing with you.
597
00:25:46,858 --> 00:25:47,889
Why would you be telling me?
598
00:25:47,891 --> 00:25:49,088
Either I am messing with you
599
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:50,189
or you're new to the game.
600
00:25:50,191 --> 00:25:51,422
You've had bad cards all night.
601
00:25:51,424 --> 00:25:53,288
You should've folded
after the flop
602
00:25:53,290 --> 00:25:54,922
and I don't wanna win
more of your money this way.
603
00:25:54,924 --> 00:25:56,224
I've got queens under here.
604
00:25:57,591 --> 00:25:58,725
Take your time.
605
00:26:12,124 --> 00:26:14,255
- Fold.
- Fuck you.
606
00:26:14,257 --> 00:26:16,289
- No!
- Oh.
607
00:26:16,291 --> 00:26:19,425
[instrumental music]
608
00:26:23,525 --> 00:26:26,255
(Molly) A fish is a
particular kind of player.
609
00:26:26,257 --> 00:26:27,856
A fish has money.
610
00:26:27,858 --> 00:26:30,456
A fish plays loose
and doesn't fold a lot.
611
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:33,255
A fish is good...
but not too good.
612
00:26:33,257 --> 00:26:34,688
There's an ATM in the hall, bro.
613
00:26:34,690 --> 00:26:35,923
(Molly)
The Cobra Lounge may belong
614
00:26:35,925 --> 00:26:37,356
to Dean Keith.
615
00:26:37,358 --> 00:26:38,856
But the game belonged
to Player X.
616
00:26:38,858 --> 00:26:40,588
People wanted to say
they played with him.
617
00:26:40,590 --> 00:26:41,921
The same way they wanted to say
618
00:26:41,923 --> 00:26:43,488
they rode on Air Force One.
619
00:26:43,490 --> 00:26:45,121
My job security
was gonna depend
620
00:26:45,123 --> 00:26:46,755
on bringing him his fish.
621
00:26:46,757 --> 00:26:48,455
But where would I find people
with a lot of money
622
00:26:48,457 --> 00:26:49,855
who didn't know how to spend it
623
00:26:49,857 --> 00:26:51,456
and liked to be
around celebrities?
624
00:26:51,458 --> 00:26:53,188
If they say
they're interested in poker
625
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:55,455
you give 'em my number,
I vet them.
626
00:26:55,457 --> 00:26:57,021
They end up playing in a game...
627
00:26:57,023 --> 00:27:00,021
I'll give you a $1000
the first time they play.
628
00:27:00,023 --> 00:27:02,322
Five hundred every time
after that.
629
00:27:02,324 --> 00:27:04,889
Be sure to mention
these guys are all regulars.
630
00:27:04,891 --> 00:27:06,122
Is this true?
631
00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:07,358
These guys play?
632
00:27:09,290 --> 00:27:12,456
(Molly) The Commerce Casino is
off the 5 freeway in East L.A.
633
00:27:12,458 --> 00:27:15,489
And no one's ever gonna confuse
it with Monte Carlo.
634
00:27:15,491 --> 00:27:17,088
I'd watch the tables
for a while
635
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:19,154
before I approached
a friendly-looking pit boss.
636
00:27:19,156 --> 00:27:21,988
Third chair
at table eight can't lose.
637
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:25,055
Unless there are players
at his table who can win.
638
00:27:25,057 --> 00:27:27,689
You know about the game
at the Cobra Lounge, right?
639
00:27:27,691 --> 00:27:28,722
Sure.
640
00:27:28,724 --> 00:27:31,155
One thousand for every player
you send me.
641
00:27:31,157 --> 00:27:33,155
You get a piece
of what they lose.
642
00:27:33,157 --> 00:27:34,656
No pros.
643
00:27:34,658 --> 00:27:36,689
I'm Molly.
644
00:27:36,691 --> 00:27:38,288
(Molly)
Poker was my Trojan horse
645
00:27:38,290 --> 00:27:41,121
into the highest level
of finance, technology
646
00:27:41,123 --> 00:27:42,989
politics, entertainment, art.
647
00:27:42,991 --> 00:27:44,522
All I had to do was listen.
648
00:27:44,524 --> 00:27:46,489
The art world is controlled
by a few major dealers.
649
00:27:46,491 --> 00:27:48,722
China's Telecom companies wanna
partner with other providers.
650
00:27:48,724 --> 00:27:50,421
The owners don't mind
spending $30 million
651
00:27:50,423 --> 00:27:52,922
on an outfielder
that hits 320 with 110 RBI.
652
00:27:52,924 --> 00:27:54,255
They alone control the market.
653
00:27:54,257 --> 00:27:56,623
They chose the artist
they wanna be important.
654
00:27:56,625 --> 00:27:58,088
They don't mind
spending $10 million
655
00:27:58,090 --> 00:28:00,322
on a pitcher
who is 8-14 this season.
656
00:28:00,324 --> 00:28:01,922
- It's gonna be Gephardt.
- They set the prices.
657
00:28:01,924 --> 00:28:04,822
They even mark 'em up,
70, 80, 90 percent.
658
00:28:04,824 --> 00:28:07,623
They're all very excited
about a company called Twitter.
659
00:28:07,625 --> 00:28:09,955
Unregulated money.
Usually all cash. Unreported.
660
00:28:09,957 --> 00:28:11,755
- His days are numbered.
- His days are numbered.
661
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,121
I don't know how much longer
she's gonna be in that job.
662
00:28:13,123 --> 00:28:14,154
- She's done.
- She's gone.
663
00:28:14,156 --> 00:28:15,588
All in.
664
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:16,623
(Molly)
People have asked me what
665
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:18,022
my goal was at that point.
666
00:28:18,024 --> 00:28:19,656
What was my end game?
667
00:28:19,658 --> 00:28:22,188
Back then, I would have
laughed at that question.
668
00:28:22,190 --> 00:28:23,954
I was raised to be a champion.
669
00:28:23,956 --> 00:28:25,489
My goal was to win.
670
00:28:25,491 --> 00:28:27,288
At what and against whom?
671
00:28:27,290 --> 00:28:29,688
- Those were just details.
- I'm all in.
672
00:28:29,690 --> 00:28:30,989
(Molly)
I had my own apartment now.
673
00:28:30,991 --> 00:28:32,121
I'll take it.
674
00:28:32,123 --> 00:28:34,154
(Molly)
A new car...
675
00:28:34,156 --> 00:28:36,421
and $17,000 in a shoebox.
676
00:28:36,423 --> 00:28:38,392
Law school could wait
one more year.
677
00:28:40,358 --> 00:28:43,655
(male #3)
Next, please. Come on through.
678
00:28:43,657 --> 00:28:47,523
Step on up please. Thank you.
Come on through.
679
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:50,121
So. Here's all that's
gonna happen today.
680
00:28:50,123 --> 00:28:51,556
Judge is gonna ask
each defendant
681
00:28:51,558 --> 00:28:52,855
if they've read the indictment
682
00:28:52,857 --> 00:28:55,088
or they'd like the court
to read it to them.
683
00:28:55,090 --> 00:28:57,421
Then the judge is gonna ask
how you plead.
684
00:28:57,423 --> 00:28:59,456
You're gonna answer,
"Not guilty."
685
00:28:59,458 --> 00:29:00,888
I'll make it clear
for the record
686
00:29:00,890 --> 00:29:01,954
that I'm not your counsel
687
00:29:01,956 --> 00:29:03,221
but I am appearing
on your behalf
688
00:29:03,223 --> 00:29:04,288
at the arraignment.
689
00:29:04,290 --> 00:29:05,822
In propria persona.
690
00:29:05,824 --> 00:29:08,121
In propria persona
means on your behalf.
691
00:29:08,123 --> 00:29:09,388
- Yeah.
- No.
692
00:29:09,390 --> 00:29:11,021
I'm saying it means
on your behalf.
693
00:29:11,023 --> 00:29:12,221
I am appearing on your behalf.
694
00:29:12,223 --> 00:29:13,256
In propria persona means
695
00:29:13,258 --> 00:29:14,787
you're appearing on your behalf.
696
00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:16,124
Not my behalf.
697
00:29:17,725 --> 00:29:20,222
I'll check that out,
but the point is...
698
00:29:20,224 --> 00:29:21,588
I'm not your lawyer.
699
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:23,591
And I'll make that clear
for the record.
700
00:29:33,391 --> 00:29:36,525
[indistinct chatter]
701
00:29:38,956 --> 00:29:40,425
[gavel pounding]
702
00:29:42,191 --> 00:29:44,256
That's us over there.
703
00:29:44,258 --> 00:29:45,955
You know, why don't you
sit there?
704
00:29:45,957 --> 00:29:47,458
And you sit on the other side.
705
00:29:54,557 --> 00:29:57,555
You've gotta good judge.
He's a good guy.
706
00:29:57,557 --> 00:30:00,422
- Counsel, please...
- How about the prosecutor?
707
00:30:00,424 --> 00:30:02,256
(Harrison) Good morning, Your
Honor, Harrison Wellstone
708
00:30:02,258 --> 00:30:04,656
Assistant U.S. Attorney
for the Southern District
709
00:30:04,658 --> 00:30:06,955
joined at counsel table
by Assistant U.S. Attorney
710
00:30:06,957 --> 00:30:11,122
Eric Brennan and FBI
Special Agent Deborah D'Angelo.
711
00:30:11,124 --> 00:30:12,588
Thank you.
712
00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:14,787
Are there any oral motions
at this time?
713
00:30:14,789 --> 00:30:16,222
Switch with me.
714
00:30:16,224 --> 00:30:18,388
[indistinct chattering]
715
00:30:18,390 --> 00:30:20,556
On behalf of the defendant...
716
00:30:20,558 --> 00:30:23,322
Just in case your lawyer
doesn't mention it
717
00:30:23,324 --> 00:30:24,656
next time you appear
in front of the judge
718
00:30:24,658 --> 00:30:27,623
you might wanna re-think
your clothes. Okay?
719
00:30:27,625 --> 00:30:29,692
You look like the Cinemax
version of yourself.
720
00:30:31,156 --> 00:30:33,121
I sold my clothes
when the government seized
721
00:30:33,123 --> 00:30:34,788
all of my money two years ago.
722
00:30:34,790 --> 00:30:37,356
Which, incidentally,
was the last time I ran a game.
723
00:30:37,358 --> 00:30:39,954
But I think
I already mentioned that.
724
00:30:39,956 --> 00:30:41,523
- Okay.
- Not guilty.
725
00:30:41,525 --> 00:30:42,921
- Thank you, you may be seated.
- Hey. Switch back.
726
00:30:42,923 --> 00:30:46,656
Defendant number two.
Nicholas Segel.
727
00:30:46,658 --> 00:30:49,122
(Judge) Has the defendant seen
a copy of the indictment?
728
00:30:49,124 --> 00:30:50,456
(Nicholas)
Yes, Your Honor.
729
00:30:50,458 --> 00:30:51,955
Have you discussed it
with your lawyer?
730
00:30:51,957 --> 00:30:53,589
(Nicholas)
Yes.
731
00:30:53,591 --> 00:30:54,589
Switch back.
732
00:30:54,591 --> 00:30:56,089
(Nicholas)
Yes.
733
00:30:56,091 --> 00:30:58,721
- And how do you plead?
- Not guilty.
734
00:30:58,723 --> 00:31:00,787
Thank you,
you may have your seat.
735
00:31:00,789 --> 00:31:02,288
Your old boss.
736
00:31:02,290 --> 00:31:04,421
The one in the book
you called Dean Keith.
737
00:31:04,423 --> 00:31:05,989
He was terrible to you.
738
00:31:05,991 --> 00:31:07,954
Why cover up for him
by changing it
739
00:31:07,956 --> 00:31:09,588
to "poor people bagels?"
740
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:12,188
I promise you
it couldn't matter less.
741
00:31:12,190 --> 00:31:14,722
(Judge) Has the defendant seen
a copy of the indictment?
742
00:31:14,724 --> 00:31:18,021
- Just making conversation.
- Yes, your honor.
743
00:31:18,023 --> 00:31:20,322
- Hey, switch back.
- Discussed with your lawyer?
744
00:31:20,324 --> 00:31:23,356
- I have.
- How do you plead this time?
745
00:31:23,358 --> 00:31:24,722
Not guilty.
746
00:31:24,724 --> 00:31:26,489
(Judge)
Have a seat.
747
00:31:26,491 --> 00:31:29,421
Defendant number four.
Molly Bloom.
748
00:31:29,423 --> 00:31:32,558
[indistinct chatter]
749
00:31:35,956 --> 00:31:38,523
Good morning, Your Honor.
Uh, Charles Jaffey
750
00:31:38,525 --> 00:31:41,192
for the defendant,
just for the purposes...
751
00:31:45,890 --> 00:31:48,221
[instrumental music]
752
00:31:48,223 --> 00:31:51,054
Well, it's good to see you,
Mr. Jaffey.
753
00:31:51,056 --> 00:31:52,525
Are you with us this morning?
754
00:31:55,323 --> 00:31:57,355
Mr. Jaffey?
755
00:31:57,357 --> 00:32:00,687
Uh, yes, sir.
Just, uh, one moment.
756
00:32:00,689 --> 00:32:04,422
- Switch back.
- Seriously?
757
00:32:04,424 --> 00:32:06,721
You said you left ten times
that much on the street.
758
00:32:06,723 --> 00:32:10,687
In my office, when I said
the retainer was $250,000
759
00:32:10,689 --> 00:32:12,989
you said,
"I left ten times that much..."
760
00:32:12,991 --> 00:32:14,356
Yeah.
761
00:32:14,358 --> 00:32:16,654
Counsel! I need to record
your appearance.
762
00:32:16,656 --> 00:32:20,488
If it please the court,
Your Honor, Just one moment.
763
00:32:20,490 --> 00:32:22,754
You're extended credit,
you're destitute
764
00:32:22,756 --> 00:32:24,989
and you leave two and a half
million dollars on the street?
765
00:32:24,991 --> 00:32:26,522
I had to.
766
00:32:26,524 --> 00:32:27,988
Didn't anyone try
to buy your debt sheet?
767
00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:30,356
Everyone tried to buy my debt
sheet. Is this...
768
00:32:30,358 --> 00:32:32,922
Why didn't you sell it like
you sold your clothes?
769
00:32:32,924 --> 00:32:35,721
- I couldn't.
- Why?
770
00:32:35,723 --> 00:32:38,392
I couldn't be sure
how they were gonna collect.
771
00:32:41,657 --> 00:32:43,790
I was afraid
you were gonna say that.
772
00:32:48,990 --> 00:32:50,155
Counsel!
773
00:32:50,157 --> 00:32:51,754
[clears throat]
774
00:32:51,756 --> 00:32:52,754
Yes, your Honor. Uh...
775
00:32:52,756 --> 00:32:54,322
Charles Jaffey
for the defendant.
776
00:32:54,324 --> 00:32:55,787
For the purposes
of this hearing only?
777
00:32:55,789 --> 00:32:58,188
No, sir.
I am Molly Bloom's attorney.
778
00:32:58,190 --> 00:33:00,588
Uh, she's read the indictment,
discussed it with her lawyer.
779
00:33:00,590 --> 00:33:02,222
Waives the right
to have it read to her
780
00:33:02,224 --> 00:33:04,954
and pleads "Not guilty."
781
00:33:04,956 --> 00:33:06,921
Thank you, you may be seated.
782
00:33:06,923 --> 00:33:09,687
(female #2) Defendant number five!
Ilian Gershen!
783
00:33:09,689 --> 00:33:11,722
(Gershen)
Good morning, Your Honor.
784
00:33:11,724 --> 00:33:13,321
I'm gonna have to keep
reading your book.
785
00:33:13,323 --> 00:33:16,054
[instrumental music]
786
00:33:16,056 --> 00:33:18,255
(Molly) There was a track
star of the 1930's
787
00:33:18,257 --> 00:33:20,388
named Matthew Robinson.
788
00:33:20,390 --> 00:33:22,321
Matthew Robinson shattered
the Olympic record
789
00:33:22,323 --> 00:33:25,955
in the 200
at the Berlin Games in 1936.
790
00:33:25,957 --> 00:33:29,455
Absolutely shattered
the Olympic record...
791
00:33:29,457 --> 00:33:30,954
and came in second.
792
00:33:30,956 --> 00:33:33,854
The man who came in first
was Jesse Owens.
793
00:33:33,856 --> 00:33:35,921
Jesse Owens went on
to be a legend.
794
00:33:35,923 --> 00:33:38,121
Matthew Robinson
went on to be a janitor
795
00:33:38,123 --> 00:33:40,489
at a whites-only
middle school in Pasadena.
796
00:33:40,491 --> 00:33:43,587
The difference
was 4/10 of a second.
797
00:33:43,589 --> 00:33:44,988
As if that wasn't enough
798
00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:46,456
Matthew Robinson
had a little brother
799
00:33:46,458 --> 00:33:47,488
who was also an athlete.
800
00:33:47,490 --> 00:33:49,590
His name was Jackie.
801
00:33:50,523 --> 00:33:51,587
I have two younger brothers
802
00:33:51,589 --> 00:33:53,421
who are overachievers as well.
803
00:33:53,423 --> 00:33:55,854
While I was ranked third
in North America
804
00:33:55,856 --> 00:33:58,688
my brother Jeremy
was number one in the world.
805
00:33:58,690 --> 00:34:02,154
And while I was placing into
AP Chemistry as a sophomore
806
00:34:02,156 --> 00:34:03,587
my brother Jordan was doing it
807
00:34:03,589 --> 00:34:04,954
when he was 12-years-old
or something.
808
00:34:04,956 --> 00:34:06,488
I don't know.
809
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:08,687
I was a hot shot student
and a hot shot skier
810
00:34:08,689 --> 00:34:10,721
everywhere but my own house.
811
00:34:10,723 --> 00:34:13,822
As I got older, I began
to bait my father into fights
812
00:34:13,824 --> 00:34:15,555
without really knowing
why I was doing it.
813
00:34:15,557 --> 00:34:17,624
What did everyone
learn in school today?
814
00:34:22,657 --> 00:34:25,155
Uh... I learned
that Sigmund Freud
815
00:34:25,157 --> 00:34:26,687
was both a misogynist
and an idiot.
816
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:28,622
And anyone who relies
on his theories
817
00:34:28,624 --> 00:34:30,255
of human psychology is a quack.
818
00:34:30,257 --> 00:34:31,554
I don't know why you'd say that.
819
00:34:31,556 --> 00:34:33,622
You asked me what I
learned in school today.
820
00:34:33,624 --> 00:34:35,391
- Is this Mrs. Linwood?
- Yup.
821
00:34:36,489 --> 00:34:38,155
Did she happen
to mention anything
822
00:34:38,157 --> 00:34:40,122
about his work
on the unconscious mind?
823
00:34:40,124 --> 00:34:43,021
His dream analysis has
the credibility of a horoscope.
824
00:34:43,023 --> 00:34:44,622
But what got my attention
825
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:46,921
was that he opposed the women's
emancipation movement.
826
00:34:46,923 --> 00:34:48,188
He believed that a woman's life
827
00:34:48,190 --> 00:34:49,554
is about her
reproductive functions.
828
00:34:49,556 --> 00:34:51,189
So you're really getting
to the nuts and bolts
829
00:34:51,191 --> 00:34:52,421
of why middle-class
suburban white girls
830
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:53,588
have been oppressed
for centuries.
831
00:34:53,590 --> 00:34:54,788
No, Mrs. Linwood was just...
832
00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:58,122
Barbara Linwood
doesn't like men, Molly.
833
00:34:58,124 --> 00:35:00,521
She doesn't like dicks,
dad, there's a difference.
834
00:35:00,523 --> 00:35:01,790
Molly...
835
00:35:05,891 --> 00:35:07,554
Don't disrespect me
like that at the table.
836
00:35:07,556 --> 00:35:08,587
I wasn't disrespecting you.
837
00:35:08,589 --> 00:35:10,356
I was disrespecting Freud.
838
00:35:10,358 --> 00:35:11,655
And it's the kitchen table
839
00:35:11,657 --> 00:35:13,221
not the tomb
of the unknown soldier.
840
00:35:13,223 --> 00:35:15,488
And I'm a professional
psychologist, not a quack.
841
00:35:15,490 --> 00:35:16,922
- I never said you were...
- Yeah, you did.
842
00:35:16,924 --> 00:35:18,258
And don't do it again.
843
00:35:21,257 --> 00:35:22,954
And don't ever use language
like that again.
844
00:35:22,956 --> 00:35:25,621
Okay. Ignore my teachers,
watch my language
845
00:35:25,623 --> 00:35:27,321
and respect the kitchen table.
846
00:35:27,323 --> 00:35:28,555
What else do I
need to do before
847
00:35:28,557 --> 00:35:29,954
I'm allowed
to disagree with you?
848
00:35:29,956 --> 00:35:31,221
Make your own money
849
00:35:31,223 --> 00:35:33,921
so you can live
in your own house...
850
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:35,390
and eat your own food.
851
00:35:38,290 --> 00:35:40,355
(Molly) I'd been running
the game for three years
852
00:35:40,357 --> 00:35:43,021
and saved $58,000.
853
00:35:43,023 --> 00:35:44,655
I was recruiting
and vetting players.
854
00:35:44,657 --> 00:35:46,054
- Keeping the books.
- Call.
855
00:35:46,056 --> 00:35:47,521
Collecting
and delivering checks.
856
00:35:47,523 --> 00:35:48,955
Meeting the needs
of all the players
857
00:35:48,957 --> 00:35:50,388
through out the week
and still working
858
00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:51,954
full time for Dean Keith.
859
00:35:51,956 --> 00:35:54,222
Who made it clear that
if I quit the office job
860
00:35:54,224 --> 00:35:55,288
I'd lose the game.
861
00:35:55,290 --> 00:35:56,954
- Call.
- Eights, full of nines.
862
00:35:56,956 --> 00:35:59,890
[clamoring]
863
00:36:07,356 --> 00:36:08,754
I thought he had trips too.
864
00:36:08,756 --> 00:36:10,388
He was slow-playing
into the river
865
00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:12,355
and he hid the pocket eights
pretty well.
866
00:36:12,357 --> 00:36:14,089
It's a tough beat, man.
867
00:36:14,091 --> 00:36:16,524
- You owe the game...
- I know what I owe the game!
868
00:36:19,489 --> 00:36:20,588
I wanna talk to you a minute.
869
00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:22,054
- Okay.
- In the hall.
870
00:36:22,056 --> 00:36:25,321
♪ It came from heartache ♪
871
00:36:25,323 --> 00:36:27,921

873
00:36:33,023 --> 00:36:34,357
Is he cheating?
874
00:36:35,490 --> 00:36:36,454
No.
875
00:36:36,456 --> 00:36:38,755
- How would you know?
- I'd know.
876
00:36:38,757 --> 00:36:40,089
He and Diego
aren't in bed together?
877
00:36:40,091 --> 00:36:41,391
No.
878
00:36:42,257 --> 00:36:44,321
What about him and you?
879
00:36:44,323 --> 00:36:45,787
A 52 card deck produces
880
00:36:45,789 --> 00:36:48,321
hundreds of millions
of random patterns.
881
00:36:48,323 --> 00:36:50,621
But every time one of you loses
two weeks in a row
882
00:36:50,623 --> 00:36:52,122
you're sure something fishy
is going on?
883
00:36:52,124 --> 00:36:53,357
Come on.
884
00:36:56,258 --> 00:36:58,555
I'm gonna stop paying you.
885
00:36:58,557 --> 00:37:01,855
- What do you mean?
- As my assistant.
886
00:37:01,857 --> 00:37:03,289
- Are you firing me?
- I'm not firing you.
887
00:37:03,291 --> 00:37:04,455
I'm just gonna stop paying you.
888
00:37:04,457 --> 00:37:05,822
You get paid once a week
from the game.
889
00:37:05,824 --> 00:37:07,221
It doesn't seem fair.
890
00:37:07,223 --> 00:37:08,621
But I also have a job working
for you 24 hours...
891
00:37:08,623 --> 00:37:10,621
And if you didn't have a job
892
00:37:10,623 --> 00:37:12,788
you wouldn't have the game.
You understand what I'm saying?
893
00:37:12,790 --> 00:37:14,787
I understand each of the words
that you're saying but I don't...
894
00:37:14,789 --> 00:37:17,522
- Look!
- 24 hours a day, every day.
895
00:37:17,524 --> 00:37:18,954
But you're gonna stop paying me
to do that job
896
00:37:18,956 --> 00:37:21,189
because I'm making too much
money doing my second job?
897
00:37:21,191 --> 00:37:22,955
And if I say no,
I'll lose both jobs?
898
00:37:22,957 --> 00:37:24,188
Because it doesn't seem fair?
899
00:37:24,190 --> 00:37:26,288
Business is bad right now.
900
00:37:26,290 --> 00:37:27,691
Welcome to the real world.
901
00:37:29,624 --> 00:37:32,288
Alright, here it is.
Banks are loaning you money.
902
00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:33,622
And they shouldn't.
903
00:37:33,624 --> 00:37:35,222
You're a bad risk, they know it.
904
00:37:35,224 --> 00:37:36,688
So the debt service
on your loans
905
00:37:36,690 --> 00:37:39,122
is close to 20%,
which is crazy.
906
00:37:39,124 --> 00:37:41,122
Twenty percent is
barely survivable
907
00:37:41,124 --> 00:37:42,522
if it's a bridge loan.
908
00:37:42,524 --> 00:37:44,155
But, like for instance
909
00:37:44,157 --> 00:37:47,287
it's taken you 10 years
to build seven houses.
910
00:37:47,289 --> 00:37:49,254
All of which are worth
less than they were
911
00:37:49,256 --> 00:37:51,321
before you built them,
because the housing market
912
00:37:51,323 --> 00:37:53,488
is on a downward trajectory
for the first time
913
00:37:53,490 --> 00:37:54,655
in the history of houses.
914
00:37:54,657 --> 00:37:57,222
And that's why business
is doing bad.
915
00:37:57,224 --> 00:37:59,922
Not because you're paying me
$450 a week.
916
00:37:59,924 --> 00:38:01,221
You're a business savant?
917
00:38:01,223 --> 00:38:02,687
I've read every piece of paper
in your office.
918
00:38:02,689 --> 00:38:04,388
You're making thousands
in tips every week.
919
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:05,921
Why do you care about $450?
920
00:38:05,923 --> 00:38:07,722
Because I don't want to pick up
your dry cleaning for free!
921
00:38:07,724 --> 00:38:11,054
Well, you don't have
bargaining power here!
922
00:38:11,056 --> 00:38:13,624
You can refuse the pay cut
but you could lose the game.
923
00:38:15,656 --> 00:38:17,124
Cash me out, please.
924
00:38:18,823 --> 00:38:20,254
(Molly)
I wasn't gonna wait for Dean
925
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:21,454
to take the game away from me
926
00:38:21,456 --> 00:38:23,822
before I put a plan in place.
927
00:38:23,824 --> 00:38:25,387
The next morning,
I made appointments
928
00:38:25,389 --> 00:38:27,188
at the Four Seasons,
The Peninsula
929
00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:28,790
and the Beverly Hills Hotel.
930
00:38:29,923 --> 00:38:33,054
The suite was $5200 a night.
931
00:38:33,056 --> 00:38:34,722
I spent $17,000
932
00:38:34,724 --> 00:38:37,387
on a shuffle master that was
installed in the table.
933
00:38:37,389 --> 00:38:39,420
Faster, more reliable shuffles.
934
00:38:39,422 --> 00:38:40,955
Less downtime between hands.
935
00:38:40,957 --> 00:38:42,622
Food was brought in
from Mr. Chow
936
00:38:42,624 --> 00:38:45,022
and available to eat
on the side tables.
937
00:38:45,024 --> 00:38:46,355
There was Macallan 18
938
00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:48,355
Belvedere, 1942
939
00:38:48,357 --> 00:38:50,787
Remy Martin,
and a '88 Lafite Rothschild
940
00:38:50,789 --> 00:38:53,788
served by a bartender who'd
already memorized your drink.
941
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:56,821
Cohibas and Monte Cristo
were in the humidor.
942
00:38:56,823 --> 00:38:58,587
A professional stylist
turned me
943
00:38:58,589 --> 00:39:00,421
into what my defense attorney
would later call
944
00:39:00,423 --> 00:39:02,955
"The Cinemax version
of myself."
945
00:39:02,957 --> 00:39:05,254
I spent almost everything
I had in preparation
946
00:39:05,256 --> 00:39:06,721
for the phone call
I knew was coming.
947
00:39:06,723 --> 00:39:08,190
[phone ringing]
948
00:39:12,856 --> 00:39:14,588
- Hello.
- I want you to listen to me.
949
00:39:14,590 --> 00:39:16,522
- 'Cause you need to hear this.
- Where are you?
950
00:39:16,524 --> 00:39:18,754
I need to tell you something
in plain English
951
00:39:18,756 --> 00:39:20,321
and I need to know
that you understood it.
952
00:39:20,323 --> 00:39:22,855
- Dean.
- You are unimportant.
953
00:39:22,857 --> 00:39:24,288
Do you hear me?
954
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:26,355
And you are fired.
955
00:39:26,357 --> 00:39:27,654
The job, the game...
956
00:39:27,656 --> 00:39:29,654
- You're fired.
- Can I ask why?
957
00:39:29,656 --> 00:39:31,654
How many of my friends
are you sleeping with?
958
00:39:31,656 --> 00:39:32,954
I'm not sleeping
with any of 'em.
959
00:39:32,956 --> 00:39:34,421
That's not what I heard.
960
00:39:34,423 --> 00:39:37,055
Listen to me.
With a HAZMAT suit, I wouldn't...
961
00:39:37,057 --> 00:39:38,723
Can I give you some advice?
962
00:39:39,923 --> 00:39:41,354
Lose the bitchy air.
963
00:39:41,356 --> 00:39:43,655
Lose the superior air.
964
00:39:43,657 --> 00:39:45,287
And go to the office
and get your stuff
965
00:39:45,289 --> 00:39:47,124
and be out of there
before I show up.
966
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:49,423
Hey, are you Molly?
967
00:39:50,091 --> 00:39:51,188
Yeah.
968
00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:52,588
I'm Leah, um...
969
00:39:52,590 --> 00:39:54,655
Dean asked me
to pack your personals.
970
00:39:54,657 --> 00:39:55,688
I appreciate it.
971
00:39:55,690 --> 00:39:57,688
He also asked me
to get the numbers
972
00:39:57,690 --> 00:40:01,054
of tonight's players
so I can confirm the list.
973
00:40:01,056 --> 00:40:02,855
(Leah)
I'm really sorry.
974
00:40:02,857 --> 00:40:03,857
Don't be.
975
00:40:05,689 --> 00:40:07,187
My phone's in my car.
976
00:40:07,189 --> 00:40:08,421
Uh, I'll text you
all the numbers
977
00:40:08,423 --> 00:40:10,054
you need when I get downstairs.
978
00:40:10,056 --> 00:40:12,488
I texted my replacement
a bunch of random numbers
979
00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:13,855
with 310 area codes.
980
00:40:13,857 --> 00:40:14,955
Then I sent a text
981
00:40:14,957 --> 00:40:16,254
to the players for tonight
982
00:40:16,256 --> 00:40:17,755
and told them
the game had been moved
983
00:40:17,757 --> 00:40:21,488
to the Four Seasons Hotel,
Suite 1401.
984
00:40:21,490 --> 00:40:24,521
- Hey, how you doing?
- Drink?
985
00:40:24,523 --> 00:40:26,022
- Thank you very much.
- Do you a part...
986
00:40:26,024 --> 00:40:27,254
(Molly)
I'd love to.
987
00:40:27,256 --> 00:40:29,522
Yeah?
So this guy's producing it.
988
00:40:29,524 --> 00:40:31,055
You should, uh, come down.
989
00:40:31,057 --> 00:40:33,588
- Amazing.
- Yeah, it'll be fun.
990
00:40:33,590 --> 00:40:36,724
[singing in foreign language]
991
00:40:46,489 --> 00:40:48,657
Fellas, can I have your
attention for a moment?
992
00:40:50,756 --> 00:40:51,857
[music stops]
993
00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:56,257
Where's Dean?
994
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,287
I'll be hosting a game in this
suite every Tuesday night.
995
00:41:01,289 --> 00:41:04,355
If you play tonight, you'll be
guaranteed a chair for a year.
996
00:41:04,357 --> 00:41:07,288
If you prefer to play
at the Cobra Lounge...
997
00:41:07,290 --> 00:41:09,424
there'll be no hard feelings.
998
00:41:15,289 --> 00:41:16,587
Let's play.
999
00:41:16,589 --> 00:41:18,154
(Molly)
The game is mine now.
1000
00:41:18,156 --> 00:41:21,522
I incorporated and Molly Bloom
Event Planning was born.
1001
00:41:21,524 --> 00:41:24,487
I paid taxes and 1099'd
my employees.
1002
00:41:24,489 --> 00:41:26,889
I never became romantically
or sexually involved
1003
00:41:26,891 --> 00:41:28,254
with any of the players.
1004
00:41:28,256 --> 00:41:29,922
The game would have
fallen apart.
1005
00:41:29,924 --> 00:41:32,754
This was back when I was
still making good decisions.
1006
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:34,455
And I went to a lawyer
to make absolutely sure
1007
00:41:34,457 --> 00:41:36,254
all this was legal.
1008
00:41:36,256 --> 00:41:37,787
- Are you taking a rake?
- No.
1009
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:39,655
Then you're not
breaking the law.
1010
00:41:39,657 --> 00:41:41,388
- But can I give you advice?
- Please.
1011
00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:42,889
There's a saying
in my business.
1012
00:41:42,891 --> 00:41:45,754
Don't break the law
when you're breaking the law.
1013
00:41:45,756 --> 00:41:48,088
- What do you mean?
- No drugs. No prostitutes.
1014
00:41:48,090 --> 00:41:49,487
No muscle to collect debts.
1015
00:41:49,489 --> 00:41:51,021
Oh, I don't do
anything like that.
1016
00:41:51,023 --> 00:41:53,054
But you just said
I wasn't breaking the law.
1017
00:41:53,056 --> 00:41:55,088
You wanna keep it that way
because you don't wanna
1018
00:41:55,090 --> 00:41:56,770
break the law when
you're breaking the law.
1019
00:41:57,856 --> 00:41:59,655
Am I breaking the law?
1020
00:41:59,657 --> 00:42:00,822
Not really.
1021
00:42:00,824 --> 00:42:02,922
We're able to find out
for sure, aren't we?
1022
00:42:02,924 --> 00:42:04,188
Laws are written down.
1023
00:42:04,190 --> 00:42:05,922
You're not taking
a percentage of the pot?
1024
00:42:05,924 --> 00:42:07,121
No.
1025
00:42:07,123 --> 00:42:09,688
You're running a square game.
1026
00:42:09,690 --> 00:42:11,989
(Molly)
My game had a tricky ecosystem.
1027
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:13,521
These guys could buy anything.
1028
00:42:13,523 --> 00:42:15,021
But here, in this room
1029
00:42:15,023 --> 00:42:16,621
you couldn't buy your win.
1030
00:42:16,623 --> 00:42:19,087
You couldn't buy me,
you couldn't buy the girls.
1031
00:42:19,089 --> 00:42:21,488
And you couldn't buy
a seat at the table.
1032
00:42:21,490 --> 00:42:24,121
There's nothing as sweet
as a win you have to work for.
1033
00:42:24,123 --> 00:42:27,889
And the wins and loses were
compelling, and they were real.
1034
00:42:27,891 --> 00:42:30,154
Of course, it helped that the
players were gambling addicts.
1035
00:42:30,156 --> 00:42:31,624
Can I see you for a second?
1036
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:39,087
(Molly)
Jay, you're famous.
1037
00:42:39,089 --> 00:42:41,120
You are an international
rock star.
1038
00:42:41,122 --> 00:42:43,154
Oh, I wasn't sure
you'd noticed.
1039
00:42:43,156 --> 00:42:44,755
You can't send
emails like that.
1040
00:42:44,757 --> 00:42:46,854
Well, it's not a federal
production, okay?
1041
00:42:46,856 --> 00:42:49,621
I just invited you to Cabo
for the weekend.
1042
00:42:49,623 --> 00:42:51,987
The next woman you send
an email like that to
1043
00:42:51,989 --> 00:42:53,088
is not gonna be me.
1044
00:42:53,090 --> 00:42:54,855
It's going to be someone else.
1045
00:42:54,857 --> 00:42:56,054
You're playing with fire.
1046
00:42:56,056 --> 00:42:57,821
I'm telling you that
I'm in love with you
1047
00:42:57,823 --> 00:43:00,320
and you are worried about me
getting blackmailed?
1048
00:43:00,322 --> 00:43:02,454
Oh, my, that just makes me
more into you.
1049
00:43:02,456 --> 00:43:05,188
Lemon head. They won't need
to blackmail you.
1050
00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:07,621
They can get just as
much money from TMZ.
1051
00:43:07,623 --> 00:43:09,722
And TMZ will give them
what they really want.
1052
00:43:09,724 --> 00:43:11,354
Tell me the truth.
Was mine the first love letter
1053
00:43:11,356 --> 00:43:12,388
you've gotten from a player?
1054
00:43:12,390 --> 00:43:13,854
It was the seventh.
1055
00:43:13,856 --> 00:43:15,287
All digitally transmitted.
1056
00:43:15,289 --> 00:43:17,120
You are begging for
your life to be turned
1057
00:43:17,122 --> 00:43:19,154
into a very public hell.
1058
00:43:19,156 --> 00:43:20,521
So that's a no on Cabo?
1059
00:43:20,523 --> 00:43:22,320
Why don't you just give your
wife and kids a break
1060
00:43:22,322 --> 00:43:23,721
and run 'em over with a limo?
1061
00:43:23,723 --> 00:43:25,654
I love the way that
you talk to me.
1062
00:43:25,656 --> 00:43:26,656
Oh, God.
1063
00:43:32,489 --> 00:43:34,320
- I've had a thought.
- Yeah?
1064
00:43:34,322 --> 00:43:35,557
Raise the stakes.
1065
00:43:38,456 --> 00:43:39,457
To what?
1066
00:43:40,657 --> 00:43:43,658
50k buy-in. Blinds are 250/500.
1067
00:43:46,789 --> 00:43:49,123
- That's a 500 percent hike.
- Yeah.
1068
00:43:50,489 --> 00:43:51,889
I don't think it's a good idea.
1069
00:43:51,890 --> 00:43:53,650
Could you guys give me
the room for a second?
1070
00:43:55,657 --> 00:43:56,657
Sure.
1071
00:44:01,790 --> 00:44:03,288
The players that are losing
a $100,000 a week
1072
00:44:03,290 --> 00:44:04,687
are gonna be losing
half a million.
1073
00:44:04,689 --> 00:44:06,220
The players winning
a $100,000 a week...
1074
00:44:06,222 --> 00:44:08,053
Will have no one left
to play with.
1075
00:44:08,055 --> 00:44:10,420
Players are gonna get hurt,
others are gonna get killed.
1076
00:44:10,422 --> 00:44:12,420
And some will drop out.
It's not sustainable.
1077
00:44:12,422 --> 00:44:13,590
We'll lose the game.
1078
00:44:15,022 --> 00:44:16,387
Find new players.
1079
00:44:16,389 --> 00:44:18,854
(Molly)
He meant "Find new fish."
1080
00:44:18,856 --> 00:44:20,021
I went recruiting again.
1081
00:44:20,023 --> 00:44:21,888
First up was Donnie Silverman.
1082
00:44:21,890 --> 00:44:24,220
Donnie won the World Series
of Poker last year
1083
00:44:24,222 --> 00:44:26,187
and got in touch with me
through one of the players.
1084
00:44:26,189 --> 00:44:27,755
Are you fucking nuts?
1085
00:44:27,757 --> 00:44:30,020
Donnie Silverman won
the World Series of Poker.
1086
00:44:30,022 --> 00:44:31,454
You can watch it online.
1087
00:44:31,456 --> 00:44:33,853
He took 11 hands
at the final table.
1088
00:44:33,855 --> 00:44:36,320
But he had the nuts
on eight of them.
1089
00:44:36,322 --> 00:44:38,588
And three of those...
1090
00:44:38,590 --> 00:44:41,020
Three were two outers with
four players still in the hand.
1091
00:44:41,022 --> 00:44:42,321
He ran hot.
1092
00:44:42,323 --> 00:44:44,488
He doesn't lock his chips down,
he's reckless.
1093
00:44:44,490 --> 00:44:47,920
He gives tons of action
and he's got $12 million.
1094
00:44:47,922 --> 00:44:50,856
[instrumental music]
1095
00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:55,524
You know,
I don't like playing poker.
1096
00:44:56,190 --> 00:44:57,321
Why do you play?
1097
00:44:57,323 --> 00:44:59,388
I like destroying lives.
1098
00:44:59,390 --> 00:45:00,591
Give him a chair.
1099
00:45:02,122 --> 00:45:05,320
(Molly) The next recruit
was Brad Marion.
1100
00:45:05,322 --> 00:45:06,921
Who everyone called Bad Brad
1101
00:45:06,923 --> 00:45:10,721
because he was uniquely
terrible at this game.
1102
00:45:10,723 --> 00:45:13,153
If there was a worse
player in the world
1103
00:45:13,155 --> 00:45:15,587
Brad would still find a way
to lose to him.
1104
00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:17,587
Sorry, I don't have a chair,
but you're welcome to a drink.
1105
00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:19,654
No, I just came to
introduce you to, uh, Brad...
1106
00:45:19,656 --> 00:45:21,554
(male #4)
I'm all in. Calling it.
1107
00:45:21,556 --> 00:45:23,387
- Yeah, I call.
- Sorry.
1108
00:45:23,389 --> 00:45:25,021
I just wanted to introduce
you to Brad Marion.
1109
00:45:25,023 --> 00:45:26,754
- He wants to play.
- Give me his information.
1110
00:45:26,756 --> 00:45:28,721
- I'll check him out.
- Derek's gonna vouch for him.
1111
00:45:28,723 --> 00:45:30,888
"Derek's gonna vouch for him"
meant Derek would cover
1112
00:45:30,890 --> 00:45:34,591
any losses if Brad didn't pay,
up to any amount.
1113
00:45:37,290 --> 00:45:39,087
- Hi, I'm Molly Bloom.
- Brad Marion.
1114
00:45:39,089 --> 00:45:40,622
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
1115
00:45:40,624 --> 00:45:42,887
(Molly)
But he could pay and had to.
1116
00:45:42,889 --> 00:45:45,786
Because he embraced the fallacy
of being pot committed.
1117
00:45:45,788 --> 00:45:47,187
I'm all in.
1118
00:45:47,189 --> 00:45:48,755
(Molly)
You've already invested so much
1119
00:45:48,757 --> 00:45:52,255
you might as well see it
through to the end.
1120
00:45:52,257 --> 00:45:54,786
Bad Brad had raised
$700 million
1121
00:45:54,788 --> 00:45:57,654
for a fund that traded
oil futures and every week
1122
00:45:57,656 --> 00:46:00,655
he came to the game,
lost a $100,000 and tipped me
1123
00:46:00,657 --> 00:46:03,655
five thousand so he could
play the next week.
1124
00:46:03,657 --> 00:46:05,888
He wasn't getting any better...
1125
00:46:05,890 --> 00:46:07,624
and the guys were
feasting on him.
1126
00:46:11,723 --> 00:46:13,787
Can I get another 50?
1127
00:46:13,789 --> 00:46:16,124
- Can we talk for a second?
- Sure.
1128
00:46:18,189 --> 00:46:19,521
Brad, this game might not
be for you.
1129
00:46:19,523 --> 00:46:21,722
I know I'm no card shark.
1130
00:46:21,724 --> 00:46:23,191
No, you're not.
1131
00:46:25,624 --> 00:46:27,786
Here are your losses
after ten weeks.
1132
00:46:27,788 --> 00:46:30,420
And you've won... never.
1133
00:46:30,422 --> 00:46:32,786
It's actually
a statistical anomaly.
1134
00:46:32,788 --> 00:46:34,257
Yeah. I know.
1135
00:46:35,457 --> 00:46:36,521
I like playing with the guys.
1136
00:46:36,523 --> 00:46:38,254
I don't have that many friends.
1137
00:46:38,256 --> 00:46:40,287
Don't take my seat away.
1138
00:46:40,289 --> 00:46:41,588
I can tip you more.
1139
00:46:41,590 --> 00:46:43,121
No.
1140
00:46:43,123 --> 00:46:44,522
Your tips are very generous.
1141
00:46:44,524 --> 00:46:46,554
How about I-I get you
some books.
1142
00:46:46,556 --> 00:46:49,153
Or even, even a pro
to give you lessons?
1143
00:46:49,155 --> 00:46:51,720
Yeah, maybe.
1144
00:46:51,722 --> 00:46:54,320
- Yeah, let me think about it.
- Okay.
1145
00:46:54,322 --> 00:46:57,188
(Molly) Turned out Bad Brad
knew what he was doing.
1146
00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:58,687
He was getting customers.
1147
00:46:58,689 --> 00:47:00,455
He'd drop his
100K at the game
1148
00:47:00,457 --> 00:47:02,522
and pick up four million
for his hedge fund.
1149
00:47:02,524 --> 00:47:04,288
- Tell him what's smart...
- Not me.
1150
00:47:04,290 --> 00:47:06,255
(Molly)
More on that later, but first
1151
00:47:06,257 --> 00:47:07,555
Harlan Eustice.
1152
00:47:07,557 --> 00:47:08,888
Player X said he met Harlan
1153
00:47:08,890 --> 00:47:10,255
at the Commerce Casino
1154
00:47:10,257 --> 00:47:11,720
and that he'd be
good for the game.
1155
00:47:11,722 --> 00:47:13,621
But I wasn't seeing
what he was seeing.
1156
00:47:13,623 --> 00:47:17,487
He played tight, folding after
the hole cards 64% of the time.
1157
00:47:17,489 --> 00:47:19,521
It wasn't clear
where his money came from.
1158
00:47:19,523 --> 00:47:21,555
He produced backyard
wrestling videos
1159
00:47:21,557 --> 00:47:23,454
and other low-rent productions.
1160
00:47:23,456 --> 00:47:24,754
But worst of all
1161
00:47:24,756 --> 00:47:27,354
Harlan Eustice
was a good card player.
1162
00:47:27,356 --> 00:47:30,487
Why would Player X want someone
at the game who could beat him?
1163
00:47:30,489 --> 00:47:33,188
I learned the answer
to that one the hard way.
1164
00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:35,554
- How was your flight?
- Just fine.
1165
00:47:35,556 --> 00:47:37,754
How are you paying for tickets
between L.A. and New York?
1166
00:47:37,756 --> 00:47:39,786
I had two million points
left on my Amex.
1167
00:47:39,788 --> 00:47:41,387
They took the card,
but let me keep the points.
1168
00:47:41,389 --> 00:47:42,587
Which I thought
was nice of them.
1169
00:47:42,589 --> 00:47:44,888
- You had meetings.
- Hmm?
1170
00:47:44,890 --> 00:47:46,988
You had meetings in L.A.
about your book and life rights.
1171
00:47:46,990 --> 00:47:48,220
- I did.
- Was there any interest?
1172
00:47:48,222 --> 00:47:49,720
A company that owns
four thousand
1173
00:47:49,722 --> 00:47:50,621
video poker machines
1174
00:47:50,623 --> 00:47:52,320
wants to put my face on them.
1175
00:47:52,322 --> 00:47:54,488
Anything else?
1176
00:47:54,490 --> 00:47:56,287
"Treat Magazine"
made a generous offer.
1177
00:47:56,289 --> 00:47:57,621
- "Treat?"
- It's a new magazine.
1178
00:47:57,623 --> 00:47:59,421
For the high-end
photography enthusiast.
1179
00:47:59,423 --> 00:48:01,521
- They want you to pose naked.
- I'd be the April treat.
1180
00:48:01,523 --> 00:48:03,287
I meant interest in your book.
1181
00:48:03,289 --> 00:48:05,187
Ah, yeah.
1182
00:48:05,189 --> 00:48:08,121
- Any offers?
- A few, I guess.
1183
00:48:08,123 --> 00:48:10,153
Couple...
1184
00:48:10,155 --> 00:48:11,188
Five.
1185
00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:12,555
- Really?
- Yeah.
1186
00:48:12,557 --> 00:48:14,153
- And...
- I passed.
1187
00:48:14,155 --> 00:48:15,554
You're destitute
and you passed on
1188
00:48:15,556 --> 00:48:17,153
five offers to turn
your book into a movie.
1189
00:48:17,155 --> 00:48:18,187
You will be paid, Charlie.
1190
00:48:18,189 --> 00:48:19,354
I'm just curious as to why
1191
00:48:19,356 --> 00:48:20,522
you passed on
what would appear to be
1192
00:48:20,524 --> 00:48:22,455
the only way out you have.
1193
00:48:22,457 --> 00:48:23,654
Creative differences.
1194
00:48:23,656 --> 00:48:25,455
- Okay.
- Should we start?
1195
00:48:25,457 --> 00:48:27,555
You know, I am gonna
figure you out.
1196
00:48:27,557 --> 00:48:28,754
Well, let me know
what you find.
1197
00:48:28,756 --> 00:48:32,153
You see this?
This is discovery.
1198
00:48:32,155 --> 00:48:34,555
Let's see what we discovered.
1199
00:48:34,557 --> 00:48:37,354
Over here we have
Peter Druzhinsky
1200
00:48:37,356 --> 00:48:40,087
Peter Antonovich
and Peter Slobo.
1201
00:48:40,089 --> 00:48:41,287
The three Petes.
1202
00:48:41,289 --> 00:48:42,420
Now the three Petes run a chain
1203
00:48:42,422 --> 00:48:43,887
of corrupt medical clinics
1204
00:48:43,889 --> 00:48:46,021
and have been committing
insurance fraud
1205
00:48:46,023 --> 00:48:49,254
wire fraud and mail fraud
on an epic scale.
1206
00:48:49,256 --> 00:48:50,488
Now, over here we have
1207
00:48:50,490 --> 00:48:53,653
the Ragnyada-Gershen
Organization.
1208
00:48:53,655 --> 00:48:55,786
They're a worldwide
bookmaking operation
1209
00:48:55,788 --> 00:48:58,187
handling hundreds of millions
of dollars a year
1210
00:48:58,189 --> 00:48:59,786
in illegal sports betting.
1211
00:48:59,788 --> 00:49:00,954
And over here, we have
1212
00:49:00,956 --> 00:49:03,621
the Alexander-Habib
Organization.
1213
00:49:03,623 --> 00:49:06,320
This is also an illegal
sports betting organization.
1214
00:49:06,322 --> 00:49:09,388
But this one,
financed by an art gallery
1215
00:49:09,390 --> 00:49:12,820
owned by Shillel Habib,
who everyone calls...
1216
00:49:12,822 --> 00:49:14,290
Shelly.
1217
00:49:18,022 --> 00:49:22,188
This is the Russian Mafia
and the three are tied together
1218
00:49:22,190 --> 00:49:25,288
in the indictment through...
1219
00:49:25,290 --> 00:49:26,458
a poker game.
1220
00:49:27,588 --> 00:49:29,522
- Were they tapping my phones?
- No.
1221
00:49:29,524 --> 00:49:30,554
(Molly)
Thank God.
1222
00:49:30,556 --> 00:49:31,586
They were tapping the phones
1223
00:49:31,588 --> 00:49:32,887
of everyone you talked to.
1224
00:49:32,889 --> 00:49:34,254
Okay.
1225
00:49:34,256 --> 00:49:36,020
They got you confirming
that you ran raked games
1226
00:49:36,022 --> 00:49:38,653
at the Plaza Hotel and various
locations in New York.
1227
00:49:38,655 --> 00:49:40,953
They've also got
a confidential informant
1228
00:49:40,955 --> 00:49:43,686
confirming that you ran
raked games at the Plaza Hotel
1229
00:49:43,688 --> 00:49:45,455
and various locations
in New York.
1230
00:49:45,457 --> 00:49:49,154
You were in violation of 1955,
which is a part of the U.S. Code
1231
00:49:49,156 --> 00:49:52,287
that makes it illegal to run
an illegal gambling business.
1232
00:49:52,289 --> 00:49:53,786
You know what you did?
1233
00:49:53,788 --> 00:49:56,120
You finished writing a book
before the good part happened.
1234
00:49:56,122 --> 00:49:58,754
You really get a kick out
of yourself, don't you?
1235
00:49:58,756 --> 00:50:00,754
You know,
I don't like this picture.
1236
00:50:00,756 --> 00:50:02,387
- Thank you.
- You're like the cat...
1237
00:50:02,389 --> 00:50:03,554
That ate the canary
and then told
1238
00:50:03,556 --> 00:50:04,953
the canary's
parents about it.
1239
00:50:04,955 --> 00:50:06,220
It's the picture
the publisher wanted
1240
00:50:06,222 --> 00:50:07,255
and I didn't get a vote.
1241
00:50:07,257 --> 00:50:08,654
I liked the book, good story.
1242
00:50:08,656 --> 00:50:10,020
- Well told.
- Thank you.
1243
00:50:10,022 --> 00:50:11,288
I need you to tell
it again, though.
1244
00:50:11,290 --> 00:50:12,421
From the beginning,
and this time
1245
00:50:12,423 --> 00:50:14,087
without skipping over
the Russians.
1246
00:50:14,089 --> 00:50:15,421
(Jaffey) Would you
like a glass of water?
1247
00:50:15,423 --> 00:50:17,256
I'd like a glass of Bourbon.
1248
00:50:20,156 --> 00:50:22,220
- One more thing.
- Yeah?
1249
00:50:22,222 --> 00:50:23,586
I need your hard drives.
1250
00:50:23,588 --> 00:50:25,154
- Going back how far?
- What do you mean?
1251
00:50:25,156 --> 00:50:27,954
Well, I kept my hard drives
when I'd buy a new laptop.
1252
00:50:27,956 --> 00:50:29,121
- You're kidding.
- No.
1253
00:50:29,123 --> 00:50:30,421
It had a record of who owed what
1254
00:50:30,423 --> 00:50:31,454
and spreadsheets on the players.
1255
00:50:31,456 --> 00:50:32,586
It has more than that.
1256
00:50:32,588 --> 00:50:33,987
Every time you charge your phone
1257
00:50:33,989 --> 00:50:35,554
by plugging it into the computer
1258
00:50:35,556 --> 00:50:36,988
the computer takes a record
1259
00:50:36,990 --> 00:50:38,854
of all your text messages
and emails.
1260
00:50:38,856 --> 00:50:41,321
My laptop has a record
of all text messages and emails
1261
00:50:41,323 --> 00:50:42,821
received years ago on phones
1262
00:50:42,823 --> 00:50:44,520
that have been smashed
with an aluminum bat?
1263
00:50:44,522 --> 00:50:47,586
I wanna run a forensic imaging
on your hard drives.
1264
00:50:47,588 --> 00:50:49,687
Oh, no. Thanks anyway, but I'll
be destroying those hard drives.
1265
00:50:49,689 --> 00:50:51,420
No, you can't do that,
they're evidence.
1266
00:50:51,422 --> 00:50:52,854
I'm going to blow them up,
I am literally gonna use
1267
00:50:52,856 --> 00:50:54,455
explosives and scatter
the remains in the sea.
1268
00:50:54,457 --> 00:50:56,320
Except you told me they exist.
1269
00:50:56,322 --> 00:50:57,455
You're gonna have
to pretend I didn't tell you.
1270
00:50:57,457 --> 00:50:58,921
- Can't do that.
- Yes, you can.
1271
00:50:58,923 --> 00:51:00,021
You wanted a lawyer that
1272
00:51:00,023 --> 00:51:01,355
wasn't even a little bit shady.
1273
00:51:01,357 --> 00:51:02,520
New information
has come to light.
1274
00:51:02,522 --> 00:51:03,553
- I see that was stupid.
- Molly.
1275
00:51:03,555 --> 00:51:04,888
There are no hard drives.
1276
00:51:04,890 --> 00:51:06,587
If you destroy evidence
and obstruct justice
1277
00:51:06,589 --> 00:51:08,421
on top of the charges
already brought against you
1278
00:51:08,423 --> 00:51:11,121
in this case, you will be,
I promise, incarcerated.
1279
00:51:11,123 --> 00:51:13,554
You don't understand
what's in those text messages.
1280
00:51:13,556 --> 00:51:15,487
I understand you've had
boyfriends and there'll be
1281
00:51:15,489 --> 00:51:17,521
some exchanges that are a little
bit, you know, embarrassing...
1282
00:51:17,523 --> 00:51:20,255
I don't care about embarrassing
text messages from boyfriends
1283
00:51:20,257 --> 00:51:22,021
as there is not left
the smallest corner
1284
00:51:22,023 --> 00:51:23,355
of my private life
1285
00:51:23,357 --> 00:51:25,653
that isn't available
for public scrutiny.
1286
00:51:25,655 --> 00:51:28,454
There are messages that
would destroy other lives.
1287
00:51:28,456 --> 00:51:30,221
There are messages
that would end careers
1288
00:51:30,223 --> 00:51:31,721
and obliterate families.
1289
00:51:31,723 --> 00:51:34,454
If those the text messages
were to be made public...
1290
00:51:34,456 --> 00:51:35,853
- They won't be.
- If they were...
1291
00:51:35,855 --> 00:51:38,188
- They won't be.
- It would be catastrophic.
1292
00:51:38,190 --> 00:51:39,621
- I'm a lawyer, I'm legally...
- No.
1293
00:51:39,623 --> 00:51:41,820
Listen to me,
I am legally prohibited
1294
00:51:41,822 --> 00:51:42,821
from disclosing anything...
1295
00:51:42,823 --> 00:51:44,254
Someone leaked
my last deposition
1296
00:51:44,256 --> 00:51:45,854
to the National Enquirer,
Charlie.
1297
00:51:45,856 --> 00:51:47,453
- Butterball?
- My last lawyer's name...
1298
00:51:47,455 --> 00:51:49,453
Was Butterman
and he was one of five people
1299
00:51:49,455 --> 00:51:51,287
in the room besides me.
1300
00:51:51,289 --> 00:51:52,820
But the information
in that deposition
1301
00:51:52,822 --> 00:51:55,321
will be nothing compared
to the consequences
1302
00:51:55,323 --> 00:51:56,854
of those text messages...
1303
00:51:56,856 --> 00:51:59,420
Ah! I just got it.
1304
00:51:59,422 --> 00:52:00,554
Showing up everywhere.
1305
00:52:00,556 --> 00:52:02,153
I couldn't figure out why you
1306
00:52:02,155 --> 00:52:03,988
named some people
but not others.
1307
00:52:03,990 --> 00:52:05,854
I thought that maybe
some people paid you.
1308
00:52:05,856 --> 00:52:07,721
You were wrong.
But doesn't matter.
1309
00:52:07,723 --> 00:52:09,853
No, the only people you named
in that book were the ones
1310
00:52:09,855 --> 00:52:13,187
that were already named in
the Bad Brad Marion deposition.
1311
00:52:13,189 --> 00:52:14,553
- Which you think...
- I know.
1312
00:52:14,555 --> 00:52:15,820
- Somebody leaked it.
- Sold it.
1313
00:52:15,822 --> 00:52:17,154
- To the tabloids.
- Yes.
1314
00:52:17,156 --> 00:52:18,553
- Maybe even Butterbean.
- Butterman.
1315
00:52:18,555 --> 00:52:19,887
But I don't know who it was.
1316
00:52:19,889 --> 00:52:21,154
I watched Jenny McCarthy
1317
00:52:21,156 --> 00:52:22,453
beat you up
for naming the players.
1318
00:52:22,455 --> 00:52:23,553
Why didn't you just say,
"Hey, those names
1319
00:52:23,555 --> 00:52:25,221
are already public record?"
1320
00:52:25,223 --> 00:52:28,154
I don't know. 'Cause I wasn't
on "The View" under subpoena.
1321
00:52:28,156 --> 00:52:30,254
Can we please get back
to the emails and texts?
1322
00:52:30,256 --> 00:52:31,853
Is that why you have
creative differences
1323
00:52:31,855 --> 00:52:32,888
with the Hollywood offers?
1324
00:52:32,890 --> 00:52:34,154
Because they want information
1325
00:52:34,156 --> 00:52:35,321
and you won't give them.
1326
00:52:35,323 --> 00:52:36,355
- I don't know you.
- Hm.
1327
00:52:36,357 --> 00:52:37,387
If what happened last time
1328
00:52:37,389 --> 00:52:38,786
were to happen this time
1329
00:52:38,788 --> 00:52:41,054
it would make
what happened last time...
1330
00:52:41,056 --> 00:52:42,354
What is this for?
1331
00:52:42,356 --> 00:52:44,220
It's got every text message
and email
1332
00:52:44,222 --> 00:52:46,554
I sent in the last year
as well as a variety
1333
00:52:46,556 --> 00:52:48,586
of incriminating evidence
about my clients.
1334
00:52:48,588 --> 00:52:50,188
Now if anything
of yours get leaked
1335
00:52:50,190 --> 00:52:52,586
you can sell my phone
to the highest bidder
1336
00:52:52,588 --> 00:52:55,254
and I'll lose my job
and get disbarred.
1337
00:52:55,256 --> 00:52:57,120
So in order to demonstrate
the sanctity
1338
00:52:57,122 --> 00:52:59,187
of your attorney-client
confidentiality
1339
00:52:59,189 --> 00:53:01,188
you're betraying
the confidentiality
1340
00:53:01,190 --> 00:53:02,390
of all your other clients?
1341
00:53:03,655 --> 00:53:05,988
I know you're not
gonna look at it.
1342
00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:07,754
How do you know?
1343
00:53:07,756 --> 00:53:08,757
I don't know.
1344
00:53:15,055 --> 00:53:16,754
I'll fly home to Colorado...
1345
00:53:16,756 --> 00:53:18,656
and be back the next day
with the hard drives.
1346
00:53:21,223 --> 00:53:22,686
(Molly)
Harlan Eustice was excited
1347
00:53:22,688 --> 00:53:24,653
about the surprise
40th birthday party
1348
00:53:24,655 --> 00:53:26,954
he was throwing for
his wife in 24 hours.
1349
00:53:26,956 --> 00:53:29,453
I rented out the whole
courtyard of the Buffalo Club.
1350
00:53:29,455 --> 00:53:31,187
It'll be about a hundred people.
1351
00:53:31,189 --> 00:53:33,887
Kumamoto oysters,
snow crab, lobsters.
1352
00:53:33,889 --> 00:53:36,420
(Molly) He wasn't taking off
menu items to show off.
1353
00:53:36,422 --> 00:53:38,187
He was genuinely excited
about the party
1354
00:53:38,189 --> 00:53:39,419
he was giving his wife.
1355
00:53:39,421 --> 00:53:40,587
She doesn't know
anything about it.
1356
00:53:40,589 --> 00:53:41,620
She thinks we're having dinner
1357
00:53:41,622 --> 00:53:44,288
with her brother and his wife.
1358
00:53:44,290 --> 00:53:45,786
(Molly)
I liked Harlan.
1359
00:53:45,788 --> 00:53:48,288
But nobody else liked him
except Player X.
1360
00:53:48,290 --> 00:53:50,054
- He played tight.
- Fold
1361
00:53:50,056 --> 00:53:51,587
Didn't give a lot of action
1362
00:53:51,589 --> 00:53:53,387
and always got
his money in good.
1363
00:53:53,389 --> 00:53:55,221
Which means he was
running the odds.
1364
00:53:55,223 --> 00:53:57,020
- Five thousand to call.
- No.
1365
00:53:57,022 --> 00:53:59,553
(Molly) In other words,
he was playing poker.
1366
00:53:59,555 --> 00:54:01,289
And the others were gambling.
1367
00:54:03,955 --> 00:54:05,190
And he won.
1368
00:54:06,456 --> 00:54:08,954
By midnight, Harlan had
tripled his original
1369
00:54:08,956 --> 00:54:10,953
fifty thousand dollar buy-in.
1370
00:54:10,955 --> 00:54:14,021
But everything came off
the rails with one hand.
1371
00:54:14,023 --> 00:54:15,387
And that's how it happens.
1372
00:54:15,389 --> 00:54:17,387
That's how you go full-tilt.
1373
00:54:17,389 --> 00:54:19,687
Harlan, the best player
at the table
1374
00:54:19,689 --> 00:54:22,487
the best player at most
tables was about to get
1375
00:54:22,489 --> 00:54:25,319
bluffed off the win by,
of all people...
1376
00:54:25,321 --> 00:54:28,020
Bad Brad. How?
1377
00:54:28,022 --> 00:54:30,720
Because Harlan had never
played with Brad before
1378
00:54:30,722 --> 00:54:34,554
and didn't know yet
that Brad was bad.
1379
00:54:34,556 --> 00:54:37,954
Harlan's got a boat.
9's full.
1380
00:54:37,956 --> 00:54:39,419
Brad's got nothing.
1381
00:54:39,421 --> 00:54:40,987
But his pre-flop
betting made it look
1382
00:54:40,989 --> 00:54:43,553
entirely accidently,
like there was
1383
00:54:43,555 --> 00:54:44,820
a chance he had pocket kings.
1384
00:54:44,822 --> 00:54:46,020
Twenty thousand.
1385
00:54:46,022 --> 00:54:47,353
(Molly)
Which if true
1386
00:54:47,355 --> 00:54:50,021
would give him
the better full house.
1387
00:54:50,023 --> 00:54:52,920
Brad's counting off $20,000,
which means he's going to call
1388
00:54:52,922 --> 00:54:55,787
and Harlan knows that if
Brad's gonna call and not raise
1389
00:54:55,789 --> 00:54:57,453
it means he didn't
have the boat.
1390
00:54:57,455 --> 00:54:59,088
And he's betting
a high two pair.
1391
00:54:59,090 --> 00:55:01,419
Probably kings and queens.
1392
00:55:01,421 --> 00:55:03,219
But then instead
of calling the bet
1393
00:55:03,221 --> 00:55:05,587
Brad pushes $72,000
into the pot.
1394
00:55:05,589 --> 00:55:06,622
I'm all in.
1395
00:55:07,822 --> 00:55:09,586
(Molly)
Harlan looks at Brad.
1396
00:55:09,588 --> 00:55:11,487
Every tell Harlan knows about
1397
00:55:11,489 --> 00:55:14,453
carotid artery pumping,
stiff hands...
1398
00:55:14,455 --> 00:55:16,487
Brad's doing the opposite.
1399
00:55:16,489 --> 00:55:18,420
Brad's betting represented
a huge hand
1400
00:55:18,422 --> 00:55:19,854
by calling on the flop
1401
00:55:19,856 --> 00:55:22,187
check raising the turn
and bombing the river.
1402
00:55:22,189 --> 00:55:23,687
Of course, Harlan didn't know
1403
00:55:23,689 --> 00:55:26,453
that Brad didn't know
what any of that meant.
1404
00:55:26,455 --> 00:55:28,988
So Harlan, always
a good sport said...
1405
00:55:28,990 --> 00:55:30,988
Nice bet. I'm laying this down.
1406
00:55:30,990 --> 00:55:35,287
(Molly) As he tossed in what he
didn't realize was the winning hand
1407
00:55:35,289 --> 00:55:37,054
Brad tosses in his cards too
1408
00:55:37,056 --> 00:55:39,286
and one of them flips
over and Harlan sees...
1409
00:55:39,288 --> 00:55:42,387
You didn't have pocket kings?
1410
00:55:42,389 --> 00:55:43,420
I didn't have any kings
1411
00:55:43,422 --> 00:55:45,621
except the one in the middle.
1412
00:55:45,623 --> 00:55:48,754
- You had two pair?
- I had one pair.
1413
00:55:48,756 --> 00:55:50,157
The nines in the middle.
1414
00:55:58,655 --> 00:55:59,656
Thank you.
1415
00:56:01,989 --> 00:56:04,054
(Molly) It wasn't even that
it was that much money.
1416
00:56:04,056 --> 00:56:07,186
Harlan only lost
about $40,000 on the hand.
1417
00:56:07,188 --> 00:56:08,620
But a circuit breaker blew
1418
00:56:08,622 --> 00:56:10,821
and Harlan was
out for blood now.
1419
00:56:10,823 --> 00:56:12,920
Everyone's.
1420
00:56:12,922 --> 00:56:15,319
(Molly) We have a
$112,000 on the table.
1421
00:56:15,321 --> 00:56:16,954
You want another 50?
1422
00:56:16,956 --> 00:56:18,253
Give me another 100, please.
1423
00:56:18,255 --> 00:56:21,254
[upbeat music]
1424
00:56:21,256 --> 00:56:23,186
Sign here for a 100,000.
1425
00:56:23,188 --> 00:56:26,088
(Molly) By 5 a.m., Harlan
was down half a million.
1426
00:56:26,090 --> 00:56:28,219
He'd abandoned everything
he knew about poker
1427
00:56:28,221 --> 00:56:29,686
and was playing
like a frat kid
1428
00:56:29,688 --> 00:56:32,322
swinging for a home run
on every hand.
1429
00:56:34,523 --> 00:56:36,954
- Another 100 please.
- Hey, bud...
1430
00:56:36,956 --> 00:56:38,757
Molly, please. Let's go.
1431
00:56:40,421 --> 00:56:41,890
(Molly)
Sign here for a 100.
1432
00:56:51,389 --> 00:56:53,888
(Molly) Text messages were going
out letting everyone know
1433
00:56:53,890 --> 00:56:55,386
Harlan was bleeding.
1434
00:56:55,388 --> 00:56:56,454
Guys were coming by to play
1435
00:56:56,456 --> 00:56:58,020
for a couple hours before work.
1436
00:56:58,022 --> 00:57:00,020
They'd been losing
to him for months.
1437
00:57:00,022 --> 00:57:02,386
Everyone wanted a check
from Harlan Eustice.
1438
00:57:02,388 --> 00:57:03,587
If you go home now you can have
1439
00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:05,987
a few hours sleep
before Sheila's party.
1440
00:57:05,989 --> 00:57:07,155
Soon.
1441
00:57:08,689 --> 00:57:10,253
Come talk to me.
1442
00:57:10,255 --> 00:57:12,389
Hi, guys.
Help yourself to some coffee.
1443
00:57:17,089 --> 00:57:18,921
You're on tilt.
1444
00:57:18,923 --> 00:57:20,254
Everybody knows it.
1445
00:57:20,256 --> 00:57:21,320
You're playing
without the weapons
1446
00:57:21,322 --> 00:57:22,523
you need to win.
1447
00:57:23,288 --> 00:57:24,490
You're right.
1448
00:57:25,389 --> 00:57:26,623
Alright, thank you.
1449
00:57:27,389 --> 00:57:29,189
Just give me $500,000.
1450
00:57:30,922 --> 00:57:32,487
I just gotta get back to even.
1451
00:57:32,489 --> 00:57:33,921
(Molly)
That should be the second line
1452
00:57:33,923 --> 00:57:35,620
of every gambler's obit.
1453
00:57:35,622 --> 00:57:39,319
Mr. Feldstein died while
trying to get back to even.
1454
00:57:39,321 --> 00:57:40,486
Harlan never did.
1455
00:57:40,488 --> 00:57:41,753
And he never got to his wife's
1456
00:57:41,755 --> 00:57:42,988
birthday party.
1457
00:57:42,990 --> 00:57:45,586
She filed for divorce
two days later.
1458
00:57:45,588 --> 00:57:47,854
There was one last punch coming
1459
00:57:47,856 --> 00:57:49,857
that would put Harlan
on the floor for good.
1460
00:57:51,655 --> 00:57:53,888
Harlan was heads up against
a guy named Frederick
1461
00:57:53,890 --> 00:57:55,590
who was Austrian royalty.
1462
00:57:57,623 --> 00:57:58,486
Call.
1463
00:57:58,488 --> 00:58:00,287
Harlan had pocket queens.
1464
00:58:00,289 --> 00:58:02,654
His Excellency had ace king.
1465
00:58:02,656 --> 00:58:05,854
They were both in 65K pre-flop.
1466
00:58:05,856 --> 00:58:07,320
Flops queen seven-seven.
1467
00:58:07,322 --> 00:58:08,887
Harlan has a full house again.
1468
00:58:08,889 --> 00:58:10,621
Queens full of sevens.
1469
00:58:10,623 --> 00:58:13,219
With three rounds of betting
in front of him...
1470
00:58:13,221 --> 00:58:14,856
the Count has nothing.
1471
00:58:18,289 --> 00:58:20,653
- All in.
- And the Count goes all in.
1472
00:58:20,655 --> 00:58:22,053
He wants Harlan
to think he's got
1473
00:58:22,055 --> 00:58:23,253
two more sevens under there.
1474
00:58:23,255 --> 00:58:24,888
- Call.
- "Nope," says Harlan.
1475
00:58:24,890 --> 00:58:28,219
He's not falling for this again
and he snap calls all in.
1476
00:58:28,221 --> 00:58:30,857
There's $750,000 on the table.
1477
00:58:32,322 --> 00:58:35,821
Diego burns a card
and deals a turn.
1478
00:58:35,823 --> 00:58:39,420
A king. Otto Von Bismarck
now has two pair.
1479
00:58:39,422 --> 00:58:41,387
Kings and sevens.
1480
00:58:41,389 --> 00:58:43,887
But two pair is nothing
next to a full house.
1481
00:58:43,889 --> 00:58:45,186
And at this point
1482
00:58:45,188 --> 00:58:46,386
the only hand left that can
1483
00:58:46,388 --> 00:58:48,155
beat a queen full house...
1484
00:58:49,588 --> 00:58:51,289
is a king full house.
1485
00:58:52,722 --> 00:58:55,920
Captain Von Trapp
bluffed two pair
1486
00:58:55,922 --> 00:58:58,255
and rivered into kings full.
1487
00:58:59,288 --> 00:59:01,052
Motherfucker!
1488
00:59:01,054 --> 00:59:02,319
Motherfucker!
1489
00:59:02,321 --> 00:59:04,420
- Fuck you, fucking mechanic.
- Hey!
1490
00:59:04,422 --> 00:59:06,453
Fuck you, you bottom-dealing
party magician!
1491
00:59:06,455 --> 00:59:07,921
Hey! Get out on the terrace.
1492
00:59:07,923 --> 00:59:09,687
You've been pulling this shit
on me for two days!
1493
00:59:09,689 --> 00:59:11,890
- Come on, come on.
- Party magician.
1494
00:59:14,021 --> 00:59:15,890
- You good?
- I'm okay, thanks.
1495
00:59:21,422 --> 00:59:23,253
(Molly)
What the hell?
1496
00:59:23,255 --> 00:59:26,020
I'll apologize to Diego.
1497
00:59:26,022 --> 00:59:27,987
Yeah. And you're gonna go home.
1498
00:59:27,989 --> 00:59:29,656
I'm making a floor call,
that's it.
1499
00:59:31,321 --> 00:59:32,489
Did you hear me?
1500
00:59:33,788 --> 00:59:35,255
I don't have it.
1501
00:59:38,989 --> 00:59:40,457
A million two.
1502
00:59:41,322 --> 00:59:42,556
I don't have it.
1503
00:59:46,154 --> 00:59:47,456
I'm sorry.
1504
00:59:55,556 --> 00:59:56,823
Go home.
1505
00:59:58,922 --> 01:00:00,422
I'm very sorry.
1506
01:00:03,222 --> 01:00:05,890
You got to tell
Sheila the truth, okay?
1507
01:00:07,455 --> 01:00:10,019
Tell her the truth.
Tell her what happened.
1508
01:00:10,021 --> 01:00:13,853
And I'm gonna help you.
I'm gonna get you to a meeting.
1509
01:00:13,855 --> 01:00:16,553
We'll meet tomorrow
and figure out
1510
01:00:16,555 --> 01:00:18,389
what to do about the money.
1511
01:00:32,021 --> 01:00:33,853
(Molly) Harlan and I
didn't meet the next day.
1512
01:00:33,855 --> 01:00:35,753
He just called me
and said everything was okay
1513
01:00:35,755 --> 01:00:37,554
and showed up the next week
with a bank check
1514
01:00:37,556 --> 01:00:39,886
for a million, two hundred
thousand dollars.
1515
01:00:39,888 --> 01:00:42,286
(Molly) Where did he
get the money from?
1516
01:00:42,288 --> 01:00:44,186
- I loaned it to him.
- Loaned it?
1517
01:00:44,188 --> 01:00:46,487
I get 50% of his wins
until the debt's paid off.
1518
01:00:46,489 --> 01:00:49,952
And then fifty percent for the
next two years with no exposure.
1519
01:00:49,954 --> 01:00:51,621
You're getting 50% of the wins.
1520
01:00:51,623 --> 01:00:54,553
- And no exposure on the losses?
- Yeah.
1521
01:00:54,555 --> 01:00:56,287
First of all, he'll never
climb out of that.
1522
01:00:56,289 --> 01:00:58,219
That's sharecropper math.
1523
01:00:58,221 --> 01:01:00,887
It's also usury.
It's racketeering.
1524
01:01:00,889 --> 01:01:02,886
Second, you can't
stake a player
1525
01:01:02,888 --> 01:01:04,586
and play in the game
at the same time.
1526
01:01:04,588 --> 01:01:07,219
I've been doing it
for two years.
1527
01:01:07,221 --> 01:01:09,689
- You've been staking Harlan?
- Yeah.
1528
01:01:10,922 --> 01:01:13,587
- Jesus Christ.
- It's not cheating.
1529
01:01:13,589 --> 01:01:14,853
It creates
the opportunity for it.
1530
01:01:14,855 --> 01:01:16,587
- Tell me how.
- Are you kidding me?
1531
01:01:16,589 --> 01:01:18,420
- Tell me how!
- You've interest in another...
1532
01:01:18,422 --> 01:01:19,553
You think I'm going
to take a dive?
1533
01:01:19,555 --> 01:01:21,419
And if I did, who would care?
1534
01:01:21,421 --> 01:01:22,686
You fold your hole cards.
1535
01:01:22,688 --> 01:01:24,387
Five of clubs,
and a jack of hearts.
1536
01:01:24,389 --> 01:01:25,419
He's still in the game.
1537
01:01:25,421 --> 01:01:26,820
It would benefit him to know
1538
01:01:26,822 --> 01:01:27,852
that the five of clubs...
1539
01:01:27,854 --> 01:01:28,886
You think I'm signaling him?
1540
01:01:28,888 --> 01:01:29,919
I'm saying it can't
1541
01:01:29,921 --> 01:01:31,389
fucking happen again.
1542
01:01:37,755 --> 01:01:41,787
- You disapprove of me.
- It's not personal.
1543
01:01:41,789 --> 01:01:43,419
It feels personal
when you chat up
1544
01:01:43,421 --> 01:01:45,087
every other guy
at the game except me.
1545
01:01:45,089 --> 01:01:47,487
When you stay late for a drink
with J.T. but never...
1546
01:01:47,489 --> 01:01:49,152
Have you visited his Oscar?
1547
01:01:49,154 --> 01:01:51,387
I think it's bolted
on the hood of his car.
1548
01:01:51,389 --> 01:01:53,753
It's noticeable,
when you go out of your way
1549
01:01:53,755 --> 01:01:55,454
to demonstrate that you
have no interest in me.
1550
01:01:55,456 --> 01:01:57,320
You did the same thing to Dean.
1551
01:01:57,322 --> 01:01:59,287
These guys want to play cards
with me, not you!
1552
01:01:59,289 --> 01:02:00,721
Be that as it may...
1553
01:02:00,723 --> 01:02:02,420
You know who the biggest
winner in this game is?
1554
01:02:02,422 --> 01:02:03,486
- It's you.
- You know who...
1555
01:02:03,488 --> 01:02:04,586
The second biggest winner is?
1556
01:02:04,588 --> 01:02:06,289
- Look...
- It's you.
1557
01:02:07,723 --> 01:02:09,654
What are you taking home,
10,000 a night now?
1558
01:02:09,656 --> 01:02:11,686
That is my business,
literally.
1559
01:02:11,688 --> 01:02:13,753
Between you, the dealers
and the servers
1560
01:02:13,755 --> 01:02:15,521
you're taking a lot of money
out of this game.
1561
01:02:15,523 --> 01:02:17,187
Not as much
as I'm bringing to it.
1562
01:02:17,189 --> 01:02:18,520
That 10,000 is 10,000
1563
01:02:18,522 --> 01:02:19,953
that doesn't go in my pocket.
1564
01:02:19,955 --> 01:02:21,319
Again, my money is...
1565
01:02:21,321 --> 01:02:24,153
Your money is my money.
1566
01:02:24,155 --> 01:02:26,153
Is it?
1567
01:02:26,155 --> 01:02:28,622
I think we should talk
about capping your tips.
1568
01:02:31,688 --> 01:02:33,387
You want to get together
with the other players
1569
01:02:33,389 --> 01:02:36,820
who on my tax returns,
are called clients
1570
01:02:36,822 --> 01:02:38,952
and discuss putting
a ceiling on my wages?
1571
01:02:38,954 --> 01:02:40,886
That's right.
1572
01:02:40,888 --> 01:02:44,623
It'll be America's most closely
watched anti-trust case.
1573
01:02:46,222 --> 01:02:47,587
(Molly)
Right there, right then
1574
01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:50,786
that fast, I lost the game.
1575
01:02:50,788 --> 01:02:53,052
It was the next Tuesday,
game night.
1576
01:02:53,054 --> 01:02:56,119
He waited until he knew
I'd be on the way to the hotel
1577
01:02:56,121 --> 01:02:57,722
and then sent me a text.
1578
01:03:02,788 --> 01:03:04,553
It said, "We're playing
at Dave's tonight.
1579
01:03:04,555 --> 01:03:05,919
No need to show up."
1580
01:03:05,921 --> 01:03:08,053
And I knew the truth
even before I answered
1581
01:03:08,055 --> 01:03:09,690
the call that came next.
1582
01:03:15,655 --> 01:03:18,052
[Player X laughing]
You are so fucked.
1583
01:03:18,054 --> 01:03:21,189
[instrumental music]
1584
01:03:31,721 --> 01:03:33,819
There's no such word
as verticality.
1585
01:03:33,821 --> 01:03:36,720
- Hmm?
- In the book, on page 152.
1586
01:03:36,722 --> 01:03:39,053
"When you lose the game in L.A.
and come to New York
1587
01:03:39,055 --> 01:03:41,120
you admire
the city's verticality."
1588
01:03:41,122 --> 01:03:42,153
It's a word.
1589
01:03:42,155 --> 01:03:43,286
Once you're in New York
1590
01:03:43,288 --> 01:03:44,320
you talk about games
1591
01:03:44,322 --> 01:03:46,419
lasting all night, two nights.
1592
01:03:46,421 --> 01:03:50,187
Bein' up for days,
but you don't mention drugs.
1593
01:03:50,189 --> 01:03:51,653
There were drugs.
I'm two years clean.
1594
01:03:51,655 --> 01:03:53,220
But you left the drugs
out of the book.
1595
01:03:53,222 --> 01:03:55,287
You know what?
I'm not paying you $250,000
1596
01:03:55,289 --> 01:03:56,521
for your Amazon
customer review.
1597
01:03:56,523 --> 01:03:58,719
So far, you're not
paying me for anything.
1598
01:03:58,721 --> 01:04:00,420
I just emailed you
verticality
1599
01:04:00,422 --> 01:04:02,719
from Merriam-Webster's
Dictionary.
1600
01:04:02,721 --> 01:04:05,223
What's an advance
on a book like this?
1601
01:04:06,289 --> 01:04:08,423
The advance?
1602
01:04:10,089 --> 01:04:11,387
It depends.
1603
01:04:11,389 --> 01:04:13,086
(Eli)
If you guarantee the publishers
1604
01:04:13,088 --> 01:04:14,286
certain elements
1605
01:04:14,288 --> 01:04:16,253
then I can get you
a million and a half.
1606
01:04:16,255 --> 01:04:17,820
Which you'd probably
double on sales
1607
01:04:17,822 --> 01:04:19,087
plus ancillary rights.
1608
01:04:19,089 --> 01:04:20,454
What kind of elements?
1609
01:04:20,456 --> 01:04:23,453
- You have to use real names.
- Eli...
1610
01:04:23,455 --> 01:04:25,654
There's a guy who sits
outside my Starbucks
1611
01:04:25,655 --> 01:04:28,120
with a, uh,
with a cardboard sign
1612
01:04:28,122 --> 01:04:29,586
that says "Vietnam Vet."
1613
01:04:29,588 --> 01:04:31,454
And every morning,
I give him a quarter.
1614
01:04:31,456 --> 01:04:33,419
And right now,
the only difference
1615
01:04:33,421 --> 01:04:34,785
between you and him
1616
01:04:34,787 --> 01:04:36,387
is that you have
a story.
1617
01:04:36,389 --> 01:04:38,086
I'm one thousand
percent sure that
1618
01:04:38,088 --> 01:04:39,887
the homeless Vietnam vet
has a better one.
1619
01:04:39,889 --> 01:04:41,621
You have one asset.
1620
01:04:41,623 --> 01:04:43,219
Write your story
and I can get you
1621
01:04:43,221 --> 01:04:45,621
a million and a half,
and-and that's the floor.
1622
01:04:45,623 --> 01:04:47,521
Go big or go home
1623
01:04:47,523 --> 01:04:48,952
and live with your mother.
1624
01:04:48,954 --> 01:04:50,622
For the rest of your life.
1625
01:04:53,922 --> 01:04:55,390
What if I...
1626
01:04:57,989 --> 01:04:59,254
What if I told the publishers
1627
01:04:59,256 --> 01:05:02,419
that I-I would name the players
1628
01:05:02,421 --> 01:05:05,052
who are already named in
the Brad Marion Deposition?
1629
01:05:05,054 --> 01:05:06,322
All four?
1630
01:05:07,523 --> 01:05:09,220
I'll use the real names
of the players
1631
01:05:09,222 --> 01:05:11,053
who are already
named by Bad Brad.
1632
01:05:11,055 --> 01:05:12,720
- What if I told them that?
- You spent eight years...
1633
01:05:12,722 --> 01:05:14,420
In Hollywood and
two years in New York
1634
01:05:14,422 --> 01:05:15,786
running the world's
most exclusive
1635
01:05:15,788 --> 01:05:18,052
glamorous and decadent
man cave.
1636
01:05:18,054 --> 01:05:19,620
(Eli) So what do the
publishers get from you
1637
01:05:19,622 --> 01:05:21,622
about people with real names?
1638
01:05:23,955 --> 01:05:25,889
My advance was $35,000.
1639
01:05:27,588 --> 01:05:28,952
Well, the first thing
I'm gonna do is
1640
01:05:28,954 --> 01:05:30,520
get you a minor role reduction.
1641
01:05:30,522 --> 01:05:32,353
Get the 12 points
knocked down to ten.
1642
01:05:32,355 --> 01:05:34,019
- What's a minor role reduction?
- I'm going to argue...
1643
01:05:34,021 --> 01:05:36,652
To the prosecutor that you're,
uh, an employee that was
1644
01:05:36,654 --> 01:05:38,320
hired and fired
by the players.
1645
01:05:38,322 --> 01:05:40,719
- Not a chance.
- I think we got a good chance.
1646
01:05:40,721 --> 01:05:42,319
No, not a chance I'm letting
you make that argument.
1647
01:05:42,321 --> 01:05:44,653
- Why not?
- It's not true.
1648
01:05:44,655 --> 01:05:46,087
Let me explain how
the point system works.
1649
01:05:46,089 --> 01:05:47,419
I know how it works.
1650
01:05:47,421 --> 01:05:49,419
Points correspond
with the prosecutor's
1651
01:05:49,421 --> 01:05:50,852
sentencing recommendation.
1652
01:05:50,854 --> 01:05:52,052
You try to get a point reduction
1653
01:05:52,054 --> 01:05:53,354
based on a variety of factors
1654
01:05:53,356 --> 01:05:55,553
including, say,
prior criminal history
1655
01:05:55,555 --> 01:05:57,586
which I don't have,
or whether the defendant
1656
01:05:57,588 --> 01:05:59,520
played a minor role,
which I certainly did not.
1657
01:05:59,522 --> 01:06:01,253
You really think this is
a good time to hog credit?
1658
01:06:01,255 --> 01:06:02,520
- I built it from scratch.
- No.
1659
01:06:02,522 --> 01:06:03,785
There was already a game
at the Cobra Lounge
1660
01:06:03,787 --> 01:06:04,853
when you came along.
1661
01:06:04,855 --> 01:06:06,386
The New York game is
what I'm talking about.
1662
01:06:06,388 --> 01:06:07,819
I built from scratch.
1663
01:06:07,821 --> 01:06:08,986
I wasn't fireable.
1664
01:06:08,988 --> 01:06:10,020
I made sure of that.
1665
01:06:10,022 --> 01:06:11,323
So, no.
1666
01:06:12,523 --> 01:06:13,552
I wasn't really listening.
1667
01:06:13,554 --> 01:06:15,286
I'm refusing you permission
1668
01:06:15,288 --> 01:06:16,619
to seek a minor role reduction.
1669
01:06:16,621 --> 01:06:18,053
I'm refusing you permission
1670
01:06:18,055 --> 01:06:19,586
to invalidate
my entire career.
1671
01:06:19,588 --> 01:06:21,852
- And I'm not caring.
- I built a successful...
1672
01:06:21,854 --> 01:06:23,355
Hey, do you want kids?
1673
01:06:25,188 --> 01:06:27,220
You interested
in having a family?
1674
01:06:27,222 --> 01:06:28,685
Very much.
1675
01:06:28,687 --> 01:06:30,353
I don't get you
some point reductions
1676
01:06:30,355 --> 01:06:32,019
and the sentencing
recommendation guidelines
1677
01:06:32,021 --> 01:06:33,419
say eight to twelve years.
1678
01:06:33,421 --> 01:06:35,087
And that's before they
try to jam you up
1679
01:06:35,089 --> 01:06:36,652
more for money laundering.
1680
01:06:36,654 --> 01:06:38,887
The moment you changed the
Russian's money for chips...
1681
01:06:38,889 --> 01:06:40,652
I would've had to been aware
where the money was...
1682
01:06:40,654 --> 01:06:42,686
Find me twelve men and women
who'll believe
1683
01:06:42,688 --> 01:06:44,686
that you weren't aware
of exactly who was sitting
1684
01:06:44,688 --> 01:06:46,319
at your table
and where the money came from.
1685
01:06:46,321 --> 01:06:47,953
So, that's it.
1686
01:06:47,955 --> 01:06:50,255
You were a cocktail waitress.
1687
01:06:55,022 --> 01:06:59,387
(Molly) When I lost the L.A. game,
I told myself it was no big deal.
1688
01:06:59,389 --> 01:07:01,387
It was just supposed
to be an adventure
1689
01:07:01,389 --> 01:07:03,855
and a way to meet
influential people.
1690
01:07:05,587 --> 01:07:08,422
And I'd saved over $200,000.
1691
01:07:10,088 --> 01:07:12,786
But that was just a weak
firewall I'd hastily built
1692
01:07:12,788 --> 01:07:15,254
to keep out the humiliation
and depression
1693
01:07:15,256 --> 01:07:16,721
I knew was coming.
1694
01:07:20,521 --> 01:07:22,355
It had to end sometime.
1695
01:07:23,654 --> 01:07:25,888
I just thought
it would be on my time.
1696
01:07:27,321 --> 01:07:30,119
The game had given me
an identity
1697
01:07:30,121 --> 01:07:32,585
respect and a defined place
1698
01:07:32,587 --> 01:07:35,586
in a world
that was inaccessible.
1699
01:07:35,588 --> 01:07:39,155
And in one irrational
heartbeat, it was taken away.
1700
01:07:41,188 --> 01:07:43,387
I was irrelevant...
1701
01:07:43,389 --> 01:07:45,522
and forgotten, overnight.
1702
01:07:48,854 --> 01:07:51,852
It'd been two weeks
since I lost the game...
1703
01:07:51,854 --> 01:07:53,820
and I made an appointment
to see someone.
1704
01:07:53,822 --> 01:07:56,585
Because now,
the humiliation and depression
1705
01:07:56,587 --> 01:07:58,552
had given way
to a blinding anger
1706
01:07:58,554 --> 01:08:02,222
at my powerlessness
over the unfair whims of men.
1707
01:08:04,722 --> 01:08:07,086
It was that
there weren't any rules.
1708
01:08:07,088 --> 01:08:10,354
These power moves weren't
framed by right and wrong.
1709
01:08:10,356 --> 01:08:12,520
Just ego and vanity.
1710
01:08:12,522 --> 01:08:15,253
Selfish whims with
no regard for consequence.
1711
01:08:15,255 --> 01:08:17,019
No fairness, no justice.
1712
01:08:17,021 --> 01:08:19,819
And that giggling,
cackling call from Player X.
1713
01:08:19,821 --> 01:08:21,686
[Player X giggling]
You're so fucked.
1714
01:08:21,688 --> 01:08:23,685
I couldn't lose to that
green-screened little shit.
1715
01:08:23,687 --> 01:08:24,987
And I didn't want a therapist
1716
01:08:24,989 --> 01:08:27,619
to make me feel okay about it.
1717
01:08:27,621 --> 01:08:30,585
You know what makes you feel
okay about losing?
1718
01:08:30,587 --> 01:08:32,354
Winning.
1719
01:08:32,356 --> 01:08:34,219
I got on a plane to New York.
1720
01:08:34,221 --> 01:08:36,552
[instrumental music]
1721
01:08:36,554 --> 01:08:38,952
Wall Street. Madison Avenue.
1722
01:08:38,954 --> 01:08:41,253
Fifth Avenue. The Dakota.
1723
01:08:41,255 --> 01:08:42,486
The San Remo.
1724
01:08:42,488 --> 01:08:44,020
The players were here.
1725
01:08:44,022 --> 01:08:45,886
I just had to bait the hook.
1726
01:08:45,888 --> 01:08:49,387
This time,
I didn't have movie stars.
1727
01:08:49,389 --> 01:08:52,219
This time,
I used Playboy Playmates.
1728
01:08:52,221 --> 01:08:54,520
These weren't
just any Playmates.
1729
01:08:54,522 --> 01:08:56,519
Jesse was
a Puerto Rican knockout
1730
01:08:56,521 --> 01:08:58,286
who grew up working
in card rooms
1731
01:08:58,288 --> 01:09:00,385
and was a good player herself.
1732
01:09:00,387 --> 01:09:02,686
I could stake her,
infiltrate other games
1733
01:09:02,688 --> 01:09:05,086
and poach
their big ticket players.
1734
01:09:05,088 --> 01:09:06,552
Shelby could write code
1735
01:09:06,554 --> 01:09:08,354
and run more thorough
background checks
1736
01:09:08,356 --> 01:09:10,919
than the T.S.A.
1737
01:09:10,921 --> 01:09:13,886
Winston was the daughter
of an American diplomat.
1738
01:09:13,888 --> 01:09:15,353
She's lived in nine
different countries
1739
01:09:15,355 --> 01:09:17,153
and had the email addresses
1740
01:09:17,155 --> 01:09:19,553
of half
the Saudi Royal Family.
1741
01:09:19,555 --> 01:09:21,418
(Molly) Who's the biggest
game in Manhattan?
1742
01:09:21,420 --> 01:09:24,887
On any given night, it's either
Teddy Chin or Tutti Toscano.
1743
01:09:24,889 --> 01:09:27,053
- But that's Manhattan.
- What do you mean?
1744
01:09:27,055 --> 01:09:29,186
Biggest game in New York
is in Brooklyn.
1745
01:09:29,188 --> 01:09:30,653
Russian Jews.
1746
01:09:30,655 --> 01:09:31,486
Buy-in's a 100k.
1747
01:09:31,488 --> 01:09:32,719
No one runs the game.
1748
01:09:32,721 --> 01:09:34,485
They just play and pay.
1749
01:09:34,487 --> 01:09:36,419
We couldn't promise anyone
they'd rub elbows
1750
01:09:36,421 --> 01:09:37,887
with movie stars.
1751
01:09:37,889 --> 01:09:38,953
But New York has one thing
1752
01:09:38,955 --> 01:09:40,086
Hollywood doesn't.
1753
01:09:40,088 --> 01:09:41,520
The Yankees.
1754
01:09:41,522 --> 01:09:43,253
And there was one
Yankee in particular
1755
01:09:43,255 --> 01:09:44,553
that every man in America
1756
01:09:44,555 --> 01:09:45,986
would line up to lose to.
1757
01:09:45,988 --> 01:09:47,320
Don't say his name out loud.
1758
01:09:47,322 --> 01:09:49,052
Write it on a cocktail napkin.
1759
01:09:49,054 --> 01:09:50,254
Crumple up the napkin up.
1760
01:09:50,256 --> 01:09:51,619
Put it in a glass of water
1761
01:09:51,621 --> 01:09:53,186
so they can see
the ink dissolve.
1762
01:09:53,188 --> 01:09:54,519
- That's really necessary?
- No.
1763
01:09:54,521 --> 01:09:56,020
It's not at all necessary.
1764
01:09:56,022 --> 01:09:57,052
When do we tell them the game
1765
01:09:57,054 --> 01:09:58,353
is going to start?
1766
01:09:58,355 --> 01:09:59,553
Tell them it's been happening
1767
01:09:59,555 --> 01:10:01,720
once a week for about six months
1768
01:10:01,722 --> 01:10:04,152
at a location you won't
disclose right now.
1769
01:10:04,154 --> 01:10:05,852
There's a pretty long
waiting list for a chair
1770
01:10:05,854 --> 01:10:08,453
but Molly's here somewhere
1771
01:10:08,455 --> 01:10:10,186
and I'll introduce you to her.
1772
01:10:10,188 --> 01:10:12,385
50K buy-in,
blinds are five and one?
1773
01:10:12,387 --> 01:10:14,522
Yeah, fifty...
1774
01:10:17,921 --> 01:10:18,953
Mol?
1775
01:10:18,955 --> 01:10:20,585
50K buy-in?
1776
01:10:20,587 --> 01:10:23,619
No, 250.
1777
01:10:23,621 --> 01:10:25,254
That's going to make noise.
1778
01:10:25,256 --> 01:10:27,889
Enough to be
heard on Rodeo Drive.
1779
01:10:29,788 --> 01:10:31,753
[instrumental music]
1780
01:10:31,755 --> 01:10:33,486
(Molly)
The Gold Coast of Long Island
1781
01:10:33,488 --> 01:10:35,120
has been home
to the Vanderbilts
1782
01:10:35,122 --> 01:10:36,453
Roosevelts, Whitneys
1783
01:10:36,455 --> 01:10:38,920
J.P. Morgan
and F.W. Woolworth.
1784
01:10:38,922 --> 01:10:42,353
It's an impossible ticket
to get, but I can talk to Molly.
1785
01:10:42,355 --> 01:10:45,119
(Molly) Tonight was a $10,000
per person fundraiser
1786
01:10:45,121 --> 01:10:46,418
to pay for major renovations
1787
01:10:46,420 --> 01:10:48,120
at the East Hampton Yacht Club.
1788
01:10:48,122 --> 01:10:49,586
Molly's around here somewhere.
1789
01:10:49,588 --> 01:10:51,486
I could introduce you, but I
wouldn't get my hopes up.
1790
01:10:51,488 --> 01:10:52,585
(Molly)
That's for real.
1791
01:10:52,587 --> 01:10:53,686
There was a charity event
1792
01:10:53,688 --> 01:10:55,153
for residents of the Hamptons
1793
01:10:55,155 --> 01:10:56,254
who own yachts.
1794
01:10:56,256 --> 01:10:57,419
In my business, that's called
1795
01:10:57,421 --> 01:10:58,785
a target-rich environment.
1796
01:10:58,787 --> 01:11:01,620
I have to tell you
the initial buy-in is $250,000.
1797
01:11:01,622 --> 01:11:05,156
$250,000? That's almost as much
as my second car.
1798
01:11:06,287 --> 01:11:08,087
Your friends come to the games?
1799
01:11:08,089 --> 01:11:09,353
Mm-hm.
1800
01:11:09,355 --> 01:11:10,419
(Molly)
It took only 7 weeks
1801
01:11:10,421 --> 01:11:11,953
of recruiting to get 10 players
1802
01:11:11,955 --> 01:11:13,819
and 7 on a waiting list.
1803
01:11:13,821 --> 01:11:15,120
And in these circles
1804
01:11:15,122 --> 01:11:16,152
that was more than enough
1805
01:11:16,154 --> 01:11:18,286
to start the mythology.
1806
01:11:18,288 --> 01:11:20,187
By morning,
gamblers would be telling
1807
01:11:20,189 --> 01:11:22,752
and hearing stories
about this game in London
1808
01:11:22,754 --> 01:11:24,986
Tokyo and Dubai.
1809
01:11:24,988 --> 01:11:26,052
At the end of that year
1810
01:11:26,054 --> 01:11:27,186
I reported an income
1811
01:11:27,188 --> 01:11:30,987
of $4,773,000.
1812
01:11:30,989 --> 01:11:34,586
Every square inch of it
legal and on the books.
1813
01:11:34,588 --> 01:11:37,219
I was the biggest game runner
in the world.
1814
01:11:37,221 --> 01:11:38,552
All tips.
1815
01:11:38,554 --> 01:11:40,087
I still hadn't taken a rake
1816
01:11:40,089 --> 01:11:42,352
and I still hadn't accidentally
recruited members
1817
01:11:42,354 --> 01:11:44,586
of a Russian crime syndicate.
1818
01:11:44,588 --> 01:11:47,386
In the beginning, I was using
drugs to stay awake.
1819
01:11:47,388 --> 01:11:49,620
First Adderall,
then Adderall crushed up
1820
01:11:49,622 --> 01:11:51,552
to defeat the time release.
1821
01:11:51,554 --> 01:11:53,552
Then coke, Valium, Vicodin
1822
01:11:53,554 --> 01:11:55,218
Percocet and more Adderall.
1823
01:11:55,220 --> 01:11:58,153
I rented a penthouse apartment
and installed plasma screens
1824
01:11:58,155 --> 01:11:59,887
for the sports bettors.
1825
01:11:59,889 --> 01:12:01,785
I had the lower stakes
games on Wednesdays
1826
01:12:01,787 --> 01:12:03,753
Thursdays and Sundays
at my place
1827
01:12:03,755 --> 01:12:06,485
with Tuesday night at
the Plaza being the big game.
1828
01:12:06,487 --> 01:12:07,920
At 7:00, the dealers came
1829
01:12:07,922 --> 01:12:09,652
and the table was set up
and polished
1830
01:12:09,654 --> 01:12:11,219
and ten chairs
were placed around it
1831
01:12:11,221 --> 01:12:13,652
exactly 12 inches apart.
1832
01:12:13,654 --> 01:12:15,619
I used custom chips
and two dealers
1833
01:12:15,621 --> 01:12:17,753
who worked an hour on,
an hour off
1834
01:12:17,755 --> 01:12:20,987
with a new crew coming in
after 12 hours.
1835
01:12:20,989 --> 01:12:22,820
Casinos had discovered
that certain scents
1836
01:12:22,822 --> 01:12:25,185
make people more likely
to place big bets.
1837
01:12:25,187 --> 01:12:28,453
The Casinos pump those scents
in through the ventilation.
1838
01:12:28,455 --> 01:12:31,686
I had custom candles made.
1839
01:12:31,688 --> 01:12:34,019
I'd been working
with a new dealer named "B."
1840
01:12:34,021 --> 01:12:36,820
Not like Beatrice,
just the initial.
1841
01:12:36,822 --> 01:12:38,620
She'd been working in
trashy card rooms
1842
01:12:38,622 --> 01:12:40,823
on the East Side
and we became friends.
1843
01:12:42,054 --> 01:12:43,353
Tone it down.
1844
01:12:43,355 --> 01:12:45,656
The big players
don't like fast hands.
1845
01:12:48,889 --> 01:12:51,485
Sarcastic dealing, cool.
1846
01:12:51,487 --> 01:12:54,485
You got to do it,
not doing it is insanity.
1847
01:12:54,487 --> 01:12:56,286
You must be able to see that.
1848
01:12:56,288 --> 01:12:58,719
You've been stiffed four
or five times.
1849
01:12:58,721 --> 01:13:01,219
You've got hundreds of thousands
on the street.
1850
01:13:01,221 --> 01:13:03,686
That's money you're
never gonna see again.
1851
01:13:03,688 --> 01:13:07,253
(Molly) B had been suggesting
it for a long time.
1852
01:13:07,255 --> 01:13:08,552
She was suggesting it again
1853
01:13:08,554 --> 01:13:10,120
because of an incident
the week before.
1854
01:13:10,122 --> 01:13:11,486
- Hey, Cole.
- Hey.
1855
01:13:11,488 --> 01:13:14,119
- Come on in.
- Thanks, you got my check?
1856
01:13:14,121 --> 01:13:16,086
(Molly)
I do.
1857
01:13:16,088 --> 01:13:17,418
- It's right here.
- Thank you.
1858
01:13:17,420 --> 01:13:18,819
Hey can I show you
something on TV?
1859
01:13:18,821 --> 01:13:21,753
Umm, actually,
I'm in kinda a hurry.
1860
01:13:21,755 --> 01:13:23,589
It'll just take a second.
Have a seat.
1861
01:13:26,554 --> 01:13:29,151
This is last Tuesday's game.
1862
01:13:29,153 --> 01:13:30,986
Shit, Molly,
if the guys find out
1863
01:13:30,988 --> 01:13:33,887
you've got cameras on them,
they're gonna go nuts.
1864
01:13:33,889 --> 01:13:35,953
Yeah, that's you
in the seventh chair.
1865
01:13:35,955 --> 01:13:37,119
Look at your stack of chips.
1866
01:13:37,121 --> 01:13:38,553
I've got a cab downstairs...
1867
01:13:38,555 --> 01:13:41,987
Look at the time stamp.
1:06 a.m.
1868
01:13:41,989 --> 01:13:43,586
(Molly)
Let's fast forward to 1:07.
1869
01:13:43,588 --> 01:13:46,053
1:07,
you lose a hand to Boosty.
1870
01:13:46,055 --> 01:13:48,285
- What is this?
- 1:08.
1871
01:13:48,287 --> 01:13:49,920
Our sheets say that
you didn't buy-in again
1872
01:13:49,922 --> 01:13:51,419
between 1:06 and 1:08.
1873
01:13:51,421 --> 01:13:53,552
But look at that,
your stack's bigger.
1874
01:13:53,554 --> 01:13:55,986
- I can explain, it's just, uh...
- Okay, let's rewind.
1875
01:13:55,988 --> 01:13:57,886
This screen's got
the dealer changeover
1876
01:13:57,888 --> 01:14:00,253
while at the same time,
on this screen
1877
01:14:00,255 --> 01:14:04,085
and... there we are.
1878
01:14:04,087 --> 01:14:08,085
This is why I can't reconcile
$57,000 from Tuesday's game.
1879
01:14:08,087 --> 01:14:10,653
A 7-11's got security cameras
on their slushy machine.
1880
01:14:10,655 --> 01:14:12,353
I've got a million
dollars changing hands
1881
01:14:12,355 --> 01:14:14,319
every two minutes, imbecile.
1882
01:14:14,321 --> 01:14:16,455
You don't think
I've got eyes on the table?
1883
01:14:18,921 --> 01:14:20,422
Relax.
1884
01:14:23,554 --> 01:14:25,452
I, uh, I owe people money.
1885
01:14:25,454 --> 01:14:27,785
I know. Why isn't it coming
from the trust fund?
1886
01:14:27,787 --> 01:14:30,920
I need my parents' permission
to get that much.
1887
01:14:30,922 --> 01:14:33,185
And they'd kill me. You don't
even understand what it's like.
1888
01:14:33,187 --> 01:14:35,253
People don't realize
trust fund kids.
1889
01:14:35,255 --> 01:14:36,386
Are suffering
in this economy, too.
1890
01:14:36,388 --> 01:14:38,051
I realize what I did was wrong.
1891
01:14:38,053 --> 01:14:40,318
Did it take a lot of soul
searching to get you there?
1892
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:41,720
Okay, okay, first of all
1893
01:14:41,722 --> 01:14:43,185
the guys that are making
the counterfeit chips
1894
01:14:43,187 --> 01:14:44,486
are taking you for a ride.
1895
01:14:44,488 --> 01:14:45,887
They know that
there are signatures
1896
01:14:45,889 --> 01:14:46,919
built into the chips.
1897
01:14:46,921 --> 01:14:49,686
Exact weight, infrared markings.
1898
01:14:49,688 --> 01:14:51,386
Breathe. Second.
1899
01:14:51,388 --> 01:14:53,253
Don't try this
at anyone else's game
1900
01:14:53,255 --> 01:14:54,785
because if you do,
they are going to express
1901
01:14:54,787 --> 01:14:57,452
their anger in a much different
way than I am.
1902
01:14:57,454 --> 01:14:59,186
You owe me $57,000.
1903
01:14:59,188 --> 01:15:00,752
When I get it, you get the tape
1904
01:15:00,754 --> 01:15:01,920
but until then
1905
01:15:01,922 --> 01:15:04,051
you don't play in anyone's game.
1906
01:15:04,053 --> 01:15:07,085
(Molly) So when Tuesday night
came, B was at it again.
1907
01:15:07,087 --> 01:15:08,953
Your exposure's crazy.
1908
01:15:08,955 --> 01:15:11,085
It's not if, it's when.
1909
01:15:11,087 --> 01:15:12,953
You're gonna get blown up.
1910
01:15:12,955 --> 01:15:15,452
Your risk is nuts.
1911
01:15:15,454 --> 01:15:17,887
If I took a rake, this game
would no longer be legal.
1912
01:15:17,889 --> 01:15:21,852
And if you can't cover,
this game will no longer exist.
1913
01:15:21,854 --> 01:15:23,620
You're the bank now.
1914
01:15:23,622 --> 01:15:26,289
You're guaranteeing the game.
1915
01:15:28,888 --> 01:15:30,218
If you see a hand
1916
01:15:30,220 --> 01:15:31,685
you don't want to carry
1917
01:15:31,687 --> 01:15:33,286
just look at me
1918
01:15:33,288 --> 01:15:35,052
flash me a number
1919
01:15:35,054 --> 01:15:37,289
and I'll take it off the table.
1920
01:15:38,488 --> 01:15:42,186
Most runners cap it
at five percent.
1921
01:15:42,188 --> 01:15:45,121
- I'll see you out there.
- See you out there.
1922
01:16:03,288 --> 01:16:04,920
(Molly)
Two weeks later, around 2 a.m.
1923
01:16:04,922 --> 01:16:08,385
there was a pot that was up to
$1.3 million, pre-flop
1924
01:16:08,387 --> 01:16:11,619
with five players still in.
1925
01:16:11,621 --> 01:16:15,352
My hope was that the flop
would chase four of them off.
1926
01:16:15,354 --> 01:16:16,853
(male #5)
$200,000.
1927
01:16:16,855 --> 01:16:18,655
Raise a $100,000.
1928
01:16:21,355 --> 01:16:24,686
- $300,000 to you, sir.
- Call.
1929
01:16:24,688 --> 01:16:27,856
(Molly) There was now 2.1
million on the table.
1930
01:16:30,788 --> 01:16:32,589
$300,000 to you, sir.
1931
01:16:34,221 --> 01:16:35,452
Plus 200.
1932
01:16:35,454 --> 01:16:37,121
(Molly)
$2.6 million.
1933
01:16:44,187 --> 01:16:46,218
Three million.
1934
01:16:46,220 --> 01:16:47,485
She was right.
1935
01:16:47,487 --> 01:16:49,519
I was extending credit.
Big numbers.
1936
01:16:49,521 --> 01:16:51,485
And it's not like
Harlan Eustice hadn't already
1937
01:16:51,487 --> 01:16:53,620
put the fear of God into me.
1938
01:16:53,622 --> 01:16:55,485
If I couldn't pay one time
1939
01:16:55,487 --> 01:16:57,986
that'd be the end of the game.
1940
01:16:57,988 --> 01:16:59,622
I was the house.
1941
01:17:02,921 --> 01:17:05,418
That's how quickly
I made the decision.
1942
01:17:05,420 --> 01:17:08,319
And just as quickly, B
calculated 2 percent of the pot
1943
01:17:08,321 --> 01:17:10,155
and took it off the table.
1944
01:17:12,587 --> 01:17:14,720
That was it,
I had just taken a rake
1945
01:17:14,722 --> 01:17:19,254
in violation of
U.S. Criminal Code, 1955.
1946
01:17:24,154 --> 01:17:26,119
It's time to introduce
Douglas Downey
1947
01:17:26,121 --> 01:17:28,919
'cause Downey's gonna
take us all the way home.
1948
01:17:28,921 --> 01:17:30,753
Downey was a drunk,
and he'd stay after the game
1949
01:17:30,755 --> 01:17:33,385
and hang out
while I did the books.
1950
01:17:33,387 --> 01:17:35,151
He was hard to understand
when he was drunk
1951
01:17:35,153 --> 01:17:36,353
and his conversation openers
1952
01:17:36,355 --> 01:17:37,419
would always sound like
1953
01:17:37,421 --> 01:17:38,886
the title of a detective novel.
1954
01:17:38,888 --> 01:17:41,685
Victim of circumstance.
1955
01:17:41,687 --> 01:17:42,823
Yeah.
1956
01:17:45,355 --> 01:17:48,218
Story of, you know...
1957
01:17:48,220 --> 01:17:51,521
Story of my proverbial,
you know...
1958
01:17:56,154 --> 01:17:58,851
- Life?
- Life.
1959
01:17:58,853 --> 01:18:01,253
(Molly)
He'd talk about his marriage.
1960
01:18:01,255 --> 01:18:04,118
I married young, Mol.
1961
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,652
I married young
and I married dull.
1962
01:18:06,654 --> 01:18:10,820
If I'd been born in Greenwich
instead of Flushing...
1963
01:18:10,822 --> 01:18:12,752
(Molly) He talked about
wanting a better life.
1964
01:18:12,754 --> 01:18:14,218
New Canaan...
1965
01:18:14,220 --> 01:18:17,219
Gone to... Rye Country Day
1966
01:18:17,221 --> 01:18:18,855
Princeton...
1967
01:18:20,722 --> 01:18:21,789
The life I'd have.
1968
01:18:23,020 --> 01:18:24,785
The wife I'd have?
1969
01:18:24,787 --> 01:18:26,721
I'd be a player.
1970
01:18:29,853 --> 01:18:31,721
Victim of circumstance.
1971
01:18:35,221 --> 01:18:38,686
Mol, these are things
I only say to you.
1972
01:18:38,688 --> 01:18:39,885
Good call.
1973
01:18:39,887 --> 01:18:41,119
(Molly)
And he'd talk about another
1974
01:18:41,121 --> 01:18:42,985
game he played in.
1975
01:18:42,987 --> 01:18:44,385
It was the Brooklyn game.
1976
01:18:44,387 --> 01:18:45,452
The Brighton Beach game
1977
01:18:45,454 --> 01:18:46,686
where they played all night
1978
01:18:46,688 --> 01:18:47,885
and all day.
1979
01:18:47,887 --> 01:18:50,352
The game that was
populated by Russians.
1980
01:18:50,354 --> 01:18:53,553
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
1981
01:18:53,555 --> 01:18:57,086
Mol, these are the nicest
guys I've ever met.
1982
01:18:57,088 --> 01:19:00,386
(Molly) Then one night, Douglas
Downey lost $80,000 at my game
1983
01:19:00,388 --> 01:19:01,685
and didn't have it.
1984
01:19:01,687 --> 01:19:03,753
Winston, can I have
the room, please?
1985
01:19:03,755 --> 01:19:05,019
Sure.
1986
01:19:05,021 --> 01:19:06,522
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Mm.
1987
01:19:10,954 --> 01:19:12,784
You won a $190,000 last week.
1988
01:19:12,786 --> 01:19:16,686
- I owe Teddy Chin and Tutti...
- Right.
1989
01:19:16,688 --> 01:19:18,186
And some sports bets.
1990
01:19:18,188 --> 01:19:20,818
I'm a winner trapped
inside the body of a...
1991
01:19:20,820 --> 01:19:23,051
- Stop.
- Yeah.
1992
01:19:23,053 --> 01:19:25,318
The Brooklyn game.
1993
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,086
Is everything I've heard true?
1994
01:19:27,088 --> 01:19:28,586
What have you heard?
1995
01:19:28,588 --> 01:19:30,151
The Russian's have deep pockets
1996
01:19:30,153 --> 01:19:31,552
bad at poker, give action
1997
01:19:31,554 --> 01:19:33,553
pay instantly
and wear a coat and tie.
1998
01:19:33,555 --> 01:19:34,822
It's all true.
1999
01:19:39,020 --> 01:19:40,784
Bring me some of those players
and I'll give you
2000
01:19:40,786 --> 01:19:43,819
a piece of the game
until your 80K is paid down.
2001
01:19:43,821 --> 01:19:45,653
Loser is what I was gonna say.
2002
01:19:45,655 --> 01:19:47,785
Winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2003
01:19:47,787 --> 01:19:49,119
- I know. Got it.
- Loser.
2004
01:19:49,121 --> 01:19:50,453
Can you bring me some players?
2005
01:19:50,455 --> 01:19:52,785
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2006
01:19:52,787 --> 01:19:54,784
Do you understand the deal
I'm offering you?
2007
01:19:54,786 --> 01:19:57,652
No, I'm saying this
because you're Irish
2008
01:19:57,654 --> 01:19:59,653
and they may not want
to play in your game.
2009
01:19:59,655 --> 01:20:01,951
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2010
01:20:01,953 --> 01:20:03,887
I'm not Irish.
2011
01:20:05,988 --> 01:20:09,620
- You're not?
- No.
2012
01:20:09,622 --> 01:20:10,851
Molly Bloom?
2013
01:20:10,853 --> 01:20:13,188
You're thinking
of the James Joyce character.
2014
01:20:14,988 --> 01:20:17,152
I always thought you were Irish.
2015
01:20:17,154 --> 01:20:18,951
I'm not.
Can you bring me some players?
2016
01:20:18,953 --> 01:20:20,352
Isn't there a famous book...
2017
01:20:20,354 --> 01:20:21,985
Okay, Douglas, focus up.
2018
01:20:21,987 --> 01:20:24,352
Yes, there's a book
by James Joyce called "Ulysses"
2019
01:20:24,354 --> 01:20:25,653
and there's a character
named Molly Bloom
2020
01:20:25,655 --> 01:20:27,118
and that is why
you think I'm Irish
2021
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,119
but now it's time
to move past that.
2022
01:20:29,121 --> 01:20:31,456
Can you bring me
some Brighton Beach players?
2023
01:20:34,255 --> 01:20:36,419
If you're not Irish,
what are you?
2024
01:20:36,421 --> 01:20:38,552
I'm a Russian Jew.
2025
01:20:38,554 --> 01:20:41,385
(Molly) The next week, I
had some new players.
2026
01:20:41,387 --> 01:20:42,752
Mike was the first one
to arrive.
2027
01:20:42,754 --> 01:20:44,684
- I'm Jesse.
- I'm Mike Davidoff.
2028
01:20:44,686 --> 01:20:46,419
(Molly) Mike owned a
chain of medical clinics
2029
01:20:46,421 --> 01:20:48,751
and had already posted
with a wire transfer.
2030
01:20:48,753 --> 01:20:51,752
Next were the Gershen brothers.
Illya and Alexei.
2031
01:20:51,754 --> 01:20:54,385
They were in the business
of exporting steel to China.
2032
01:20:54,387 --> 01:20:56,453
Alexei brought a quarter
of a million dollars
2033
01:20:56,455 --> 01:20:58,589
in cash, in a backpack.
2034
01:20:59,687 --> 01:21:02,785
Mr. Habib, good evening.
I'm Shelby.
2035
01:21:02,787 --> 01:21:05,619
I'm Shelly.
Only one letter's different.
2036
01:21:05,621 --> 01:21:07,986
Also I'm a billionaire. I think
I may have seen you naked.
2037
01:21:07,988 --> 01:21:10,453
No. You would remember.
2038
01:21:10,455 --> 01:21:11,986
(Molly)
And then Shelly Habib.
2039
01:21:11,988 --> 01:21:13,886
The Habib family
owns the largest collection
2040
01:21:13,888 --> 01:21:17,553
of classical art in the world,
valued at 3 billion dollars
2041
01:21:17,555 --> 01:21:19,285
and Shelly runs
the Hallie Gallery
2042
01:21:19,287 --> 01:21:20,452
on Madison Avenue.
2043
01:21:20,454 --> 01:21:22,018
As for tonight, I was not able
2044
01:21:22,020 --> 01:21:23,352
to put my hands on cash today
2045
01:21:23,354 --> 01:21:24,386
because I woke up this morning
2046
01:21:24,388 --> 01:21:25,818
after the banks had closed.
2047
01:21:25,820 --> 01:21:27,119
So I'm hoping you'll accept
2048
01:21:27,121 --> 01:21:29,389
this as temporary collateral.
2049
01:21:31,987 --> 01:21:35,318
That is an authentic Monet?
2050
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:38,185
Grabbed it right off the wall.
2051
01:21:38,187 --> 01:21:40,419
You came over here
carrying a Monet?
2052
01:21:40,421 --> 01:21:43,651
I was driven and I have security
outside the door.
2053
01:21:43,653 --> 01:21:46,185
Okay, Shelly.
Here's what I need you to do.
2054
01:21:46,187 --> 01:21:47,919
I need you to get this...
2055
01:21:47,921 --> 01:21:49,218
- What, four?
- Seven.
2056
01:21:49,220 --> 01:21:50,319
(Molly)
Seven million dollar
2057
01:21:50,321 --> 01:21:51,652
painting out of here right now.
2058
01:21:51,654 --> 01:21:53,819
- And you're, I assume, armed?
- Sure.
2059
01:21:53,821 --> 01:21:56,286
(Molly) Security can't stand
in front of the door.
2060
01:21:56,288 --> 01:21:57,951
Fix this up, come on back
2061
01:21:57,953 --> 01:22:01,185
and I'll extend you credit
tonight up to one and a half.
2062
01:22:01,187 --> 01:22:03,218
You're a very
beautiful woman.
2063
01:22:03,220 --> 01:22:04,618
Please be careful
with the painting.
2064
01:22:04,620 --> 01:22:06,052
Always.
2065
01:22:06,054 --> 01:22:08,586
(Molly) Mike, Illya,
Alexei and Shelly.
2066
01:22:08,588 --> 01:22:10,651
Those were the players
Doug Downey brought me.
2067
01:22:10,653 --> 01:22:13,652
As advertised,
they played loose, gave action
2068
01:22:13,654 --> 01:22:16,186
lost to the regulars
and settled right away.
2069
01:22:16,188 --> 01:22:18,951
People have asked,
"Wasn't there any way to tell
2070
01:22:18,953 --> 01:22:20,718
"that some of the players
at your game were connected
2071
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:22,552
"to one of the darkest,
deadliest
2072
01:22:22,554 --> 01:22:25,851
and far-reaching organized
crime syndicates in the world?"
2073
01:22:25,853 --> 01:22:28,152
No. There wasn't.
2074
01:22:28,154 --> 01:22:30,189
I'm gonna go all in.
2075
01:22:53,321 --> 01:22:56,456
[instrumental music]
2076
01:23:24,654 --> 01:23:25,788
[Charlie sighs]
2077
01:23:27,188 --> 01:23:29,652
I wish I had better news.
2078
01:23:29,654 --> 01:23:32,453
Harrison Wellstone didn't go
for the minor role reduction?
2079
01:23:32,455 --> 01:23:33,684
No.
2080
01:23:33,686 --> 01:23:35,486
He didn't buy that
I was a cocktail waitress?
2081
01:23:35,488 --> 01:23:38,585
- No.
- Aww. Is it because I wasn't?
2082
01:23:38,587 --> 01:23:41,151
Hey, I tried, which is what
you're not paying me to do.
2083
01:23:41,153 --> 01:23:42,485
So what now?
2084
01:23:42,487 --> 01:23:43,818
The Government
is expressing an interest
2085
01:23:43,820 --> 01:23:45,386
in you being
a cooperating witness.
2086
01:23:45,388 --> 01:23:46,652
- You don't say?
- Molly.
2087
01:23:46,654 --> 01:23:48,419
Who could've possibly seen that
coming?
2088
01:23:48,421 --> 01:23:50,119
- Let's have the conversation.
- It will be short.
2089
01:23:50,121 --> 01:23:51,719
Because I don't know anything
at all that can help them.
2090
01:23:51,721 --> 01:23:53,353
You don't know anything that can
help them convict
2091
01:23:53,355 --> 01:23:55,019
the Russians, but you
know things that can help them.
2092
01:23:55,021 --> 01:23:57,485
Did you know that
97 percent of Federal cases
2093
01:23:57,487 --> 01:23:58,718
never make it to trial?
2094
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:00,484
Even though the chances
of being convicted
2095
01:24:00,486 --> 01:24:01,852
at trial is a little more than
one in a hundred?
2096
01:24:01,854 --> 01:24:03,651
If you want to go
to trial, that's fine.
2097
01:24:03,653 --> 01:24:06,018
But it's gonna cost you
in the area of $3,500,000
2098
01:24:06,020 --> 01:24:08,086
Which the Justice Department
knows I don't have
2099
01:24:08,088 --> 01:24:09,418
because they took
all of my money
2100
01:24:09,420 --> 01:24:10,919
in a civil forfeiture
which they can do
2101
01:24:10,921 --> 01:24:13,051
without a warrant,
because my property
2102
01:24:13,053 --> 01:24:14,684
doesn't have a presumption
of innocence.
2103
01:24:14,686 --> 01:24:16,952
Then after I'm arrested
by 17 agents
2104
01:24:16,954 --> 01:24:19,353
holding automatic weapons,
totally necessary
2105
01:24:19,355 --> 01:24:20,819
not at all meant
to intimidate me.
2106
01:24:20,821 --> 01:24:22,851
I'm given two days
to hire a lawyer
2107
01:24:22,853 --> 01:24:24,852
and appear in a courtroom on
the other side of the country.
2108
01:24:24,854 --> 01:24:26,585
If you're saying
that everything that happens
2109
01:24:26,587 --> 01:24:28,518
from the moment
you are arrested is designed
2110
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,519
to persuade you to plead guilty,
you are correct.
2111
01:24:30,521 --> 01:24:32,219
So tell me all the ways
I can help
2112
01:24:32,221 --> 01:24:33,886
'cause I really feel
I owe it to them.
2113
01:24:33,888 --> 01:24:35,386
Oh, speaking of owing
2114
01:24:35,388 --> 01:24:37,852
the IRS put a tax lien
on the money they took from me.
2115
01:24:37,854 --> 01:24:40,418
Are you ki... Alright.
None of that matters.
2116
01:24:40,420 --> 01:24:42,119
Taking my money wasn't a tax
2117
01:24:42,121 --> 01:24:44,019
I also need
to give them my money.
2118
01:24:44,021 --> 01:24:45,652
- Or they will take it again.
- None of that matters.
2119
01:24:45,654 --> 01:24:47,385
- It needed to be said.
- Not really.
2120
01:24:47,387 --> 01:24:49,285
So, to be clear, you're not
interested in entering
2121
01:24:49,287 --> 01:24:50,818
a cooperation agreement
with the prosecutors?
2122
01:24:50,820 --> 01:24:53,386
If I had testimony that would
lead to the conviction
2123
01:24:53,388 --> 01:24:55,152
of a bad guy, no one would have
2124
01:24:55,154 --> 01:24:56,819
to coerce me into cooperating.
2125
01:24:56,821 --> 01:25:00,986
But I don't. I have dirt.
I have dish. I have gossip.
2126
01:25:00,988 --> 01:25:02,417
So my value to the prosecution
2127
01:25:02,419 --> 01:25:04,951
is exactly the same
as it is to Hollywood.
2128
01:25:04,953 --> 01:25:08,086
I'm here to ensure the
New York Post covers the trial.
2129
01:25:08,088 --> 01:25:09,385
I'm here to sell tickets.
2130
01:25:09,387 --> 01:25:11,618
Which is nonetheless
value to the prosecution.
2131
01:25:11,620 --> 01:25:14,052
So what we do
is leverage it to get
2132
01:25:14,054 --> 01:25:15,519
you a favorable sentencing
recommendation
2133
01:25:15,521 --> 01:25:18,918
or, better yet,
complete immunity. What?
2134
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:20,519
Oh. Hey, honey.
2135
01:25:20,521 --> 01:25:22,488
- Hey, Stella.
- Hey.
2136
01:25:23,054 --> 01:25:24,086
Hey.
2137
01:25:24,088 --> 01:25:25,484
What does he have you doing now?
2138
01:25:25,486 --> 01:25:26,818
An essay on three poems
2139
01:25:26,820 --> 01:25:28,484
with what he believes
are a common theme.
2140
01:25:28,486 --> 01:25:30,818
Not an essay. Two paragraphs.
2141
01:25:30,820 --> 01:25:33,319
- Which three poems?
- Close, Rush and Walls.
2142
01:25:33,321 --> 01:25:36,285
Oh, I know those.
What's the common theme?
2143
01:25:36,287 --> 01:25:37,819
Things with one word titles.
2144
01:25:37,821 --> 01:25:39,852
Are you sure you're qualified
to be teaching poetry?
2145
01:25:39,854 --> 01:25:41,784
Hang on... And yes.
2146
01:25:41,786 --> 01:25:44,651
Anytime you wanna run away from
home, you can come live with me.
2147
01:25:44,653 --> 01:25:46,551
(Charlie) Then you'll discover
she doesn't have a home
2148
01:25:46,553 --> 01:25:48,885
and you'll come back to me.
2149
01:25:48,887 --> 01:25:50,418
This is good. Great.
2150
01:25:50,420 --> 01:25:52,185
Why don't you grab a snack
and start your homework
2151
01:25:52,187 --> 01:25:53,219
in one of the conference rooms?
2152
01:25:53,221 --> 01:25:54,784
Okay. See ya.
2153
01:25:54,786 --> 01:25:56,618
There's no law that says you
can't just hit him in the head.
2154
01:25:56,620 --> 01:25:58,253
There is a law that says that,
it's the first thing
2155
01:25:58,255 --> 01:25:59,651
I taught her to read.
2156
01:25:59,653 --> 01:26:00,721
Go.
2157
01:26:02,386 --> 01:26:03,720
[door closes]
2158
01:26:06,621 --> 01:26:09,417
My father used
to give us extra work.
2159
01:26:09,419 --> 01:26:11,451
Can I ask you a question?
2160
01:26:11,453 --> 01:26:13,918
You think I'm too hard on her?
2161
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,018
I met a girl when I first moved
to L.A., she was 22.
2162
01:26:17,020 --> 01:26:19,185
Someone arranged through
a third party
2163
01:26:19,187 --> 01:26:20,485
to spend the weekend
with her in London.
2164
01:26:20,487 --> 01:26:21,819
You know what she got?
2165
01:26:21,821 --> 01:26:24,051
For a weekend? Five grand.
2166
01:26:24,053 --> 01:26:27,452
A bag. A Chanel bag she wanted.
2167
01:26:27,454 --> 01:26:31,189
Whatever you're doing
with Stella, double it.
2168
01:26:38,487 --> 01:26:40,621
Where's your father in all this?
2169
01:26:42,988 --> 01:26:44,784
You mean, physically?
2170
01:26:44,786 --> 01:26:47,420
He's in Colorado.
2171
01:26:49,821 --> 01:26:51,718
Your parents still together?
2172
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,253
No.
2173
01:26:53,255 --> 01:26:55,719
You and your father close?
2174
01:26:55,721 --> 01:26:56,951
No.
2175
01:26:56,953 --> 01:26:59,518
Was he tough on you?
2176
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:01,151
You know how many girls
at the Olympics
2177
01:27:01,153 --> 01:27:02,752
have demanding fathers?
2178
01:27:02,754 --> 01:27:05,655
- All of them?
- Well, that's right.
2179
01:27:08,419 --> 01:27:10,985
I was tough on him.
2180
01:27:10,987 --> 01:27:12,551
What do you mean?
2181
01:27:12,553 --> 01:27:15,119
Um...
2182
01:27:15,121 --> 01:27:17,488
I was a brat.
2183
01:27:20,286 --> 01:27:22,189
(Charlie)
Fathers don't care.
2184
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:27,418
- I'd start fights with him.
- Why?
2185
01:27:27,420 --> 01:27:29,819
(Charlene)
You're lying!
2186
01:27:29,821 --> 01:27:31,652
(Molly) Why would I
start fights with him?
2187
01:27:31,654 --> 01:27:33,218
(Charlie)
Yeah.
2188
01:27:33,220 --> 01:27:34,820
(Charlene)
I put you through grad school!
2189
01:27:36,687 --> 01:27:38,253
I raised the kids.
2190
01:27:38,255 --> 01:27:42,385
I did every... God, everything!
2191
01:27:42,387 --> 01:27:43,452
No.
2192
01:27:43,454 --> 01:27:45,186
No, you listen to me.
2193
01:27:45,188 --> 01:27:47,385
All you do is cheat on me,
and lie to me
2194
01:27:47,387 --> 01:27:49,222
and lie to the kids!
2195
01:27:50,554 --> 01:27:53,122
You lie to your wife
and you lie to your kids.
2196
01:27:55,754 --> 01:27:57,687
I don't know.
2197
01:28:00,486 --> 01:28:03,018
For the record, the law in 1955
2198
01:28:03,020 --> 01:28:05,784
that I'm accused of breaking it,
defines gambling as betting
2199
01:28:05,786 --> 01:28:07,451
on games of chance.
2200
01:28:07,453 --> 01:28:09,151
- Yes.
- Poker isn't a game of chance.
2201
01:28:09,153 --> 01:28:11,317
Roulette's a game of chance.
2202
01:28:11,319 --> 01:28:15,152
- Poker's a game of skill.
- Still, I me...
2203
01:28:15,154 --> 01:28:17,488
I'll tell them everything
they want to know about me.
2204
01:28:19,721 --> 01:28:21,654
About me.
2205
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,654
That's it.
2206
01:28:28,454 --> 01:28:30,518
(Molly)
Remember Bad Brad Marion?
2207
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,251
It turns out his $700,000,000
hedge fund
2208
01:28:33,253 --> 01:28:35,819
wasn't what you would
call... real.
2209
01:28:35,821 --> 01:28:37,452
It was a Ponzi scheme.
2210
01:28:37,454 --> 01:28:39,584
He'd been falsely reporting
profits for years.
2211
01:28:39,586 --> 01:28:41,784
He wasn't even registered
with the SEC.
2212
01:28:41,786 --> 01:28:43,819
With the money given to him
by friends and family
2213
01:28:43,821 --> 01:28:45,784
and players at the game,
he bought several
2214
01:28:45,786 --> 01:28:47,152
Malibu Beach Houses
2215
01:28:47,154 --> 01:28:48,886
an airplane hanger
full of cars
2216
01:28:48,888 --> 01:28:51,852
another one with an airplane,
and a life he wanted.
2217
01:28:51,854 --> 01:28:54,918
When he was arrested,
he had $740 in the bank.
2218
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,451
Brad cooperated with the FBI
and gave them hours
2219
01:28:57,453 --> 01:28:59,684
of testimony
on a range of subjects.
2220
01:28:59,686 --> 01:29:01,317
Including how three years
earlier
2221
01:29:01,319 --> 01:29:03,484
he lost $5,200,000
2222
01:29:03,486 --> 01:29:05,485
in an underground
celebrity poker game
2223
01:29:05,487 --> 01:29:07,952
that was run by a girl
named Molly Bloom.
2224
01:29:07,954 --> 01:29:09,285
His story was that
I had induced him
2225
01:29:09,287 --> 01:29:10,986
to play in a high stakes game.
2226
01:29:10,988 --> 01:29:12,585
I just wanted to introduce you
to Brad Marion.
2227
01:29:12,587 --> 01:29:14,018
(Molly)
And that due to my enabling
2228
01:29:14,020 --> 01:29:15,351
he'd become a gambling addict.
2229
01:29:15,353 --> 01:29:17,417
...who made me
become a gambling addict.
2230
01:29:17,419 --> 01:29:18,818
Brad, this game might
not be for you.
2231
01:29:18,820 --> 01:29:20,385
(Molly)
Federal Bankruptcy lawyers
2232
01:29:20,387 --> 01:29:21,751
were brought in to recover
as much
2233
01:29:21,753 --> 01:29:23,785
of the boosted money
as they could.
2234
01:29:23,787 --> 01:29:26,919
I was sent a subpoena and flew
out to L.A. to be deposed.
2235
01:29:26,921 --> 01:29:29,185
Can you confirm
the names on the list
2236
01:29:29,187 --> 01:29:31,251
all played poker
with Brad Marion?
2237
01:29:31,253 --> 01:29:33,252
This list was provided
to you by Brad Marion?
2238
01:29:33,254 --> 01:29:34,752
I just need you
to confirm for the record
2239
01:29:34,754 --> 01:29:36,818
that your game included
but was not limited to...
2240
01:29:36,820 --> 01:29:39,417
I understand, what I'm trying
to get on the record is that
2241
01:29:39,419 --> 01:29:42,351
I'm not the one
who provided the list.
2242
01:29:42,353 --> 01:29:44,887
These names were provided
by Brad Marion.
2243
01:29:46,286 --> 01:29:48,719
(female #3)
So, under oath...
2244
01:29:48,721 --> 01:29:52,052
Yes. I can confirm
the list is accurate.
2245
01:29:52,054 --> 01:29:54,518
(Molly) The L.A. players
and I were given a choice.
2246
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:56,985
Testify against each other
in open court
2247
01:29:56,987 --> 01:30:00,718
or help make restitution to the
victims of Brad's Ponzi scheme.
2248
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,919
I wrote the government
a check for $500,000 dollars.
2249
01:30:03,921 --> 01:30:06,986
And somewhere in an FBI field
office in New York
2250
01:30:06,988 --> 01:30:09,822
someone was pinning
my picture to a wall.
2251
01:30:11,287 --> 01:30:12,885
I was running six games a week
2252
01:30:12,887 --> 01:30:15,519
sometimes at two different
locations in a night.
2253
01:30:15,521 --> 01:30:18,952
And by this point,
I was addicted to drugs.
2254
01:30:18,954 --> 01:30:21,218
Adderall. Ambien. Xanax. Coke.
2255
01:30:21,220 --> 01:30:24,251
Alcohol, Valium,
Ativan, Trazadone.
2256
01:30:24,253 --> 01:30:27,418
Anything that could keep me up
for a few days
2257
01:30:27,420 --> 01:30:29,888
and knock me out
for a few hours.
2258
01:30:32,587 --> 01:30:35,752
But I wasn't just taking them
to stay awake anymore.
2259
01:30:35,754 --> 01:30:39,919
It was dark and friendless
where I was.
2260
01:30:39,921 --> 01:30:43,151
I felt like I was in a hole
so deep, I could go fracking.
2261
01:30:43,153 --> 01:30:46,851
It didn't feel like depression,
it felt more violent.
2262
01:30:46,853 --> 01:30:48,317
[indistinct chatter]
2263
01:30:48,319 --> 01:30:49,985
I was tired of living
in the frat house
2264
01:30:49,987 --> 01:30:51,585
I'd built for degenerates.
2265
01:30:51,587 --> 01:30:53,951
I was tired of the greed.
2266
01:30:53,953 --> 01:30:56,885
Mine, not theirs. Everybody's.
2267
01:30:56,887 --> 01:30:58,819
I was sick
of being high all the time.
2268
01:30:58,821 --> 01:31:01,084
I was sick
of living in the grey area.
2269
01:31:01,086 --> 01:31:02,685
I couldn't recognize myself
2270
01:31:02,687 --> 01:31:05,188
and what I recognized,
I couldn't stand.
2271
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,451
After a game one night,
Douglas Downey surprised me
2272
01:31:09,453 --> 01:31:11,217
with a confession,
after opening
2273
01:31:11,219 --> 01:31:13,019
with another
detective story title.
2274
01:31:13,021 --> 01:31:15,285
Gut shot on the river.
2275
01:31:15,287 --> 01:31:17,652
- I want to say something.
- Okay.
2276
01:31:17,654 --> 01:31:21,618
- I want to say, um, something.
- Okay.
2277
01:31:21,620 --> 01:31:23,818
- I'm just gonna say...
- Cool.
2278
01:31:23,820 --> 01:31:28,384
Because there's a poem,
a famous, uh...
2279
01:31:28,386 --> 01:31:31,218
A poem about...
2280
01:31:31,220 --> 01:31:33,619
thoughts left unexpressed.
2281
01:31:33,621 --> 01:31:37,354
Two roads emerged
from the woods.
2282
01:31:38,653 --> 01:31:40,587
Do they explode?
2283
01:31:41,721 --> 01:31:44,885
I don't know.
Do you like poetry?
2284
01:31:44,887 --> 01:31:46,518
I did until a second ago.
I'm gonna call you...
2285
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:48,655
I'm, I'm in love with you.
2286
01:31:50,854 --> 01:31:53,851
- This isn't happening.
- Plain and simple.
2287
01:31:53,853 --> 01:31:56,318
You're the woman
I've always dreamed of
2288
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:57,585
and I've been dreaming...
2289
01:31:57,587 --> 01:31:59,785
Shh. Stop it.
Listen to me, Douglas.
2290
01:31:59,787 --> 01:32:02,184
I'm the woman all of you
have always dreamed of.
2291
01:32:02,186 --> 01:32:05,150
I'm the anti-wife.
I encourage your gambling.
2292
01:32:05,152 --> 01:32:06,685
I have drinks served
to you by models
2293
01:32:06,687 --> 01:32:09,150
who simultaneously
create the impression
2294
01:32:09,152 --> 01:32:10,819
that you're the kind of guy
who can score
2295
01:32:10,821 --> 01:32:12,317
a dime piece anytime you want.
2296
01:32:12,319 --> 01:32:14,886
It's nice for you in here.
2297
01:32:14,888 --> 01:32:17,017
Do you know who Circe was?
2298
01:32:17,019 --> 01:32:20,684
- Uh...
- Circe?
2299
01:32:20,686 --> 01:32:22,485
Used to play
in Teddy Chin's game?
2300
01:32:22,487 --> 01:32:25,719
Nope. Circe did not play
in Teddy's game.
2301
01:32:25,721 --> 01:32:27,619
She was the Greek goddess
of magic.
2302
01:32:27,621 --> 01:32:30,619
And she gave men feasts
with wine and honey
2303
01:32:30,621 --> 01:32:32,551
and then turned them into swine.
2304
01:32:32,553 --> 01:32:36,317
- Why?
- Fantastic question.
2305
01:32:36,319 --> 01:32:39,184
I would never do that to you.
2306
01:32:39,186 --> 01:32:41,484
Missed the point by miles,
but that's okay.
2307
01:32:41,486 --> 01:32:43,618
Oh.
2308
01:32:43,620 --> 01:32:45,284
Um, Molly.
2309
01:32:45,286 --> 01:32:48,818
Shelby and Winston
will close up.
2310
01:32:48,820 --> 01:32:50,455
I'll see you next week.
2311
01:32:56,153 --> 01:32:58,118
Here you go,
thanks a lot, Randy.
2312
01:32:58,120 --> 01:32:59,551
Thanks, Molly.
2313
01:32:59,553 --> 01:33:02,384
- Good morning.
- Morning, Pat.
2314
01:33:02,386 --> 01:33:06,017
(Molly)
Pat was my driver and security.
2315
01:33:06,019 --> 01:33:07,851
- Straight home?
- Yeah.
2316
01:33:07,853 --> 01:33:09,452
(Molly) We didn't know
much more about each other
2317
01:33:09,454 --> 01:33:11,752
than we needed to know,
but I liked him.
2318
01:33:11,754 --> 01:33:13,687
We were friends.
2319
01:33:19,386 --> 01:33:23,352
I used to be
a competitive athlete.
2320
01:33:23,354 --> 01:33:24,818
I didn't know if you knew that.
2321
01:33:24,820 --> 01:33:26,951
What sport?
2322
01:33:26,953 --> 01:33:29,017
Skiing.
2323
01:33:29,019 --> 01:33:31,251
Freestyle.
2324
01:33:31,253 --> 01:33:33,387
(Pat)
Were you good?
2325
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,454
I don't know.
2326
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,218
- Hey, Molly.
- Pat asked me a favor.
2327
01:33:46,220 --> 01:33:48,284
(Molly) He said there were a
couple of hedge fund guys
2328
01:33:48,286 --> 01:33:49,917
in New Jersey
who wanted to play
2329
01:33:49,919 --> 01:33:51,950
and he could score points
with them if he was able
2330
01:33:51,952 --> 01:33:53,217
to get them a meeting with me.
2331
01:33:53,219 --> 01:33:54,884
I said, "Sure," and set
the meeting
2332
01:33:54,886 --> 01:33:57,984
for 5 p.m. on a Thursday
at the Four Seasons Bar.
2333
01:33:57,986 --> 01:33:59,684
Knowing that if they were legit
2334
01:33:59,686 --> 01:34:01,819
they'd recognize someone
in the crowd at happy hour
2335
01:34:01,821 --> 01:34:03,951
at the Four Seasons right after
the closing bell.
2336
01:34:03,953 --> 01:34:06,519
It turns out I didn't
need to be that clever.
2337
01:34:06,521 --> 01:34:08,251
These weren't finance guys.
2338
01:34:08,253 --> 01:34:10,084
They were from the cast
of "Jersey Boys."
2339
01:34:10,086 --> 01:34:12,218
They looked around the bar
self-consciously.
2340
01:34:12,220 --> 01:34:13,584
They were out of their element.
2341
01:34:13,586 --> 01:34:15,118
And tough guys
try to look tougher
2342
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:16,484
when they're insecure.
2343
01:34:16,486 --> 01:34:17,818
I had a good hunch
what they wanted
2344
01:34:17,820 --> 01:34:19,418
and I was gonna have
to shut down
2345
01:34:19,420 --> 01:34:21,285
this meeting quickly,
but without being rude
2346
01:34:21,287 --> 01:34:23,685
to Joey Bag-a-Donuts
and Secaucus Sal.
2347
01:34:23,687 --> 01:34:25,318
I'm Molly Bloom.
Nice to meet you.
2348
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:26,985
- John G.
- And you are?
2349
01:34:26,987 --> 01:34:28,655
Paul.
2350
01:34:29,721 --> 01:34:32,351
(John G.)
How do we get a drink?
2351
01:34:32,353 --> 01:34:34,318
(Molly) I don't remember
what the other guy ordered
2352
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:35,719
but I'll never forget
what John G had.
2353
01:34:35,721 --> 01:34:37,351
He looked at the waiter
as if to say
2354
01:34:37,353 --> 01:34:38,784
that he could handle
himself just fine
2355
01:34:38,786 --> 01:34:40,785
among the Manhattan elite
and said...
2356
01:34:40,787 --> 01:34:42,721
I'll have an Appletini.
2357
01:34:44,319 --> 01:34:46,551
- Okay.
- So, how was your week?
2358
01:34:46,553 --> 01:34:49,885
My week? Uh, it was fine.
Thank you.
2359
01:34:49,887 --> 01:34:54,384
Pat said you guys might
be interested in a game?
2360
01:34:54,386 --> 01:34:57,151
We want to partner
with you.
2361
01:34:57,153 --> 01:34:59,651
- We've talked to Tutti, Will...
- Teddy Chin.
2362
01:34:59,653 --> 01:35:00,951
Teddy Chin.
2363
01:35:00,953 --> 01:35:03,317
We did a little work
with them too.
2364
01:35:03,319 --> 01:35:05,454
We can make
your life easier.
2365
01:35:07,319 --> 01:35:09,850
Nobody will fuck with you.
2366
01:35:09,852 --> 01:35:11,787
Nobody will stiff you.
2367
01:35:14,753 --> 01:35:19,551
I appreciate the offer,
but really, I'm fine.
2368
01:35:19,553 --> 01:35:22,351
I don't carry a big debt sheet.
I feel safe.
2369
01:35:22,353 --> 01:35:25,418
Ah-uh, you lied just then
2370
01:35:25,420 --> 01:35:27,751
when you said you don't carry
a big debt sheet.
2371
01:35:27,753 --> 01:35:30,084
You've got 2.8 million
on the street right now
2372
01:35:30,086 --> 01:35:31,719
right as we're sitting here.
2373
01:35:31,721 --> 01:35:33,352
We do our research.
2374
01:35:33,354 --> 01:35:35,351
That money should be
in your hands.
2375
01:35:35,353 --> 01:35:39,118
'Cause it's yours. It's yours.
2376
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:40,484
And if you don't have it,
you got
2377
01:35:40,486 --> 01:35:42,621
to go into your pocket
to pay the wins.
2378
01:35:44,219 --> 01:35:46,285
Fellas, I'm sorry.
2379
01:35:46,287 --> 01:35:49,284
It's just a friendly game
with higher stakes.
2380
01:35:49,286 --> 01:35:51,184
It was really nice
to meet you though.
2381
01:35:51,186 --> 01:35:53,484
Let me know if there's ever
anything I can do for you.
2382
01:35:53,486 --> 01:35:55,518
I like to do favors.
2383
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,185
They'll put your drinks
on my card.
2384
01:35:58,187 --> 01:35:59,851
(Molly) There are some
gaps in my memory
2385
01:35:59,853 --> 01:36:01,518
which they say is common
when you've had
2386
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:02,885
what's called, an event.
2387
01:36:02,887 --> 01:36:04,719
For instance, I don't remember
where I was
2388
01:36:04,721 --> 01:36:06,885
coming from when I walked
into my building.
2389
01:36:06,887 --> 01:36:08,884
Just that my doorman, Reggie,
said he had packages for me.
2390
01:36:08,886 --> 01:36:10,118
Ms. Bloom, I think
I got some things
2391
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:11,217
for you in the package room.
2392
01:36:11,219 --> 01:36:12,783
- I'll bring them on up.
- Thanks.
2393
01:36:12,785 --> 01:36:14,285
(Molly) It was the first
night of two weeks off
2394
01:36:14,287 --> 01:36:16,150
for Christmas and New Year's.
2395
01:36:16,152 --> 01:36:20,385
And my plan was to take a bath
and try not to take drugs.
2396
01:36:20,387 --> 01:36:22,817
Reggie came up
with my packages.
2397
01:36:22,819 --> 01:36:25,187
[intense music]
2398
01:36:26,553 --> 01:36:29,417
Ahh, I'm sorry,
you're in the wrong...
2399
01:36:29,419 --> 01:36:31,520
Wait! Okay, hold on a second,
I have...
2400
01:36:36,253 --> 01:36:37,887
Not a sound.
2401
01:36:41,753 --> 01:36:43,050
Do you hear me?
2402
01:36:43,052 --> 01:36:44,950
I have money. It's all cash.
2403
01:36:44,952 --> 01:36:47,252
- Where?
- S-safe.
2404
01:36:47,254 --> 01:36:48,585
Where is it?
2405
01:36:48,587 --> 01:36:50,787
- It's in the closet.
- Show me.
2406
01:37:08,621 --> 01:37:11,121
Put the money
and jewelry in a bag.
2407
01:37:12,187 --> 01:37:14,887
[dramatic music]
2408
01:37:20,020 --> 01:37:22,154
Gold bars too.
2409
01:37:31,086 --> 01:37:32,150
Come on.
2410
01:37:32,152 --> 01:37:35,717
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
2411
01:37:35,719 --> 01:37:39,552
It wasn't an offer they made.
It wasn't a suggestion.
2412
01:37:39,554 --> 01:37:42,551
This will be
your only reminder.
2413
01:37:42,553 --> 01:37:47,488
Your mother lives alone
in Telluride, Colorado. Right?
2414
01:37:49,919 --> 01:37:53,220
Right? Right, Molly?
2415
01:37:54,187 --> 01:37:55,618
She doesn't live there anymore.
2416
01:37:55,620 --> 01:37:57,554
Yes, she does.
2417
01:38:59,186 --> 01:39:02,951
(Molly) I couldn't call a
doctor or go to an E.R.
2418
01:39:02,953 --> 01:39:05,488
They'd take one look at me
and call the police.
2419
01:39:12,554 --> 01:39:15,452
My eyes were swollen and black.
2420
01:39:15,454 --> 01:39:18,217
My lips were cut and bloody.
2421
01:39:18,219 --> 01:39:20,354
I couldn't feel my face.
2422
01:39:46,986 --> 01:39:50,120
[instrumental music]
2423
01:39:58,652 --> 01:40:00,651
Pat had set up the meeting
2424
01:40:00,653 --> 01:40:03,153
and he was how they knew
where I lived.
2425
01:40:06,052 --> 01:40:08,385
I stayed in my apartment
for two weeks
2426
01:40:08,387 --> 01:40:10,352
waiting for my face to heal...
2427
01:40:10,354 --> 01:40:13,188
and waiting for the phone call
I knew was coming.
2428
01:40:14,586 --> 01:40:16,951
But the call didn't come.
2429
01:40:16,953 --> 01:40:19,384
Where was the call from John G?
2430
01:40:19,386 --> 01:40:21,686
"So maybe you've had
a change of heart?"
2431
01:40:24,686 --> 01:40:27,820
After ten days, I opened my
front door for the first time.
2432
01:40:30,852 --> 01:40:33,684
People were coming back into
town after New Years in Cabo
2433
01:40:33,686 --> 01:40:36,187
and St. Bart's,
and South Beach.
2434
01:40:38,086 --> 01:40:41,618
My phone was blowing up with,
"When's the next game?"
2435
01:40:41,620 --> 01:40:43,754
But nothing from John G.
2436
01:40:45,453 --> 01:40:47,650
And then right there
on the front page
2437
01:40:47,652 --> 01:40:50,985
of the New York Times
from eight days ago...
2438
01:40:50,987 --> 01:40:54,820
nearly a 125 arrested
in sweeping mob roundup.
2439
01:40:56,120 --> 01:40:58,184
Those guys
were either laying low
2440
01:40:58,186 --> 01:41:00,317
or they were in custody.
2441
01:41:00,319 --> 01:41:02,787
Sometimes God happens fast.
2442
01:41:05,219 --> 01:41:07,417
My face had healed enough,
so that a little make-up
2443
01:41:07,419 --> 01:41:09,620
would cover the bruises
that were left.
2444
01:41:10,820 --> 01:41:13,151
I put together
a week of games.
2445
01:41:13,153 --> 01:41:16,550
One week of games to get
the 2.8 million I was owed
2446
01:41:16,552 --> 01:41:19,451
and then I was out, I was done.
2447
01:41:19,453 --> 01:41:22,317
One week of epic games.
2448
01:41:22,319 --> 01:41:24,217
I had some of my
London players in town
2449
01:41:24,219 --> 01:41:26,750
and the Russians had
visiting friends from Moscow.
2450
01:41:26,752 --> 01:41:29,617
Jesse and Shelby had already
started the game at the Plaza
2451
01:41:29,619 --> 01:41:32,351
and were reporting
heavy early action.
2452
01:41:32,353 --> 01:41:34,985
I was on my way
when the phone rang.
2453
01:41:34,987 --> 01:41:37,121
It was Douglas Downey.
2454
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:39,884
I'm on my way, Doug.
2455
01:41:39,886 --> 01:41:42,683
(Douglas)
Wait, Molly. Wait.
2456
01:41:42,685 --> 01:41:44,384
I'm hiding in the bathroom.
2457
01:41:44,386 --> 01:41:46,150
I just... I-I need you
to believe me, okay?
2458
01:41:46,152 --> 01:41:47,584
- I just...
- Whose bathroom?
2459
01:41:47,586 --> 01:41:49,084
I need you to believe me
because, uh...
2460
01:41:49,086 --> 01:41:51,351
Uh, at the suite, at the plaza.
2461
01:41:51,353 --> 01:41:52,750
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2462
01:41:52,752 --> 01:41:55,416
I would never tell them
anything about you.
2463
01:41:55,418 --> 01:41:57,683
I said, "Guys,
you want me to go further
2464
01:41:57,685 --> 01:42:00,884
"you want me to go other
places, I'll do it.
2465
01:42:00,886 --> 01:42:04,385
"But nothing about Molly,
she can't be touched.
2466
01:42:04,387 --> 01:42:06,718
- Just the Russians."
- Okay, you're drunk.
2467
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:08,917
And a little difficult
to understand
2468
01:42:08,919 --> 01:42:10,851
so I'll see you in a few minutes
when I get there.
2469
01:42:10,853 --> 01:42:12,885
I was, uh...
2470
01:42:12,887 --> 01:42:15,520
I was... uh...
2471
01:42:17,453 --> 01:42:20,118
I was cited
for securities fraud.
2472
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:21,783
It was scrubbed from my record.
2473
01:42:21,785 --> 01:42:24,450
- That's why you don't know.
- Did you say Securities Fraud?
2474
01:42:24,452 --> 01:42:26,483
I would never help them
build a case against you
2475
01:42:26,485 --> 01:42:29,918
I would have never give them
anything against you
2476
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,450
I'd commit perjury
before I did that.
2477
01:42:32,452 --> 01:42:35,217
It was such bullshit,
it was 2006.
2478
01:42:35,219 --> 01:42:36,784
If you'd had an arrest,
I would've known.
2479
01:42:36,786 --> 01:42:39,051
- It was bullshit!
- Doug.
2480
01:42:39,053 --> 01:42:40,817
I told them I'll go further
2481
01:42:40,819 --> 01:42:44,284
I'll go other places,
but not you.
2482
01:42:44,286 --> 01:42:46,151
I love you, I, I love...
2483
01:42:46,153 --> 01:42:48,617
Doug, listen, I-I need you to
pull it together for a second.
2484
01:42:48,619 --> 01:42:50,817
Did they scrub your record,
because you've been informing?
2485
01:42:50,819 --> 01:42:53,617
Should I...
Should I have told you?
2486
01:42:53,619 --> 01:42:56,818
That's a question that'll,
that'll haunt me for all my...
2487
01:42:56,820 --> 01:42:58,217
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2488
01:42:58,219 --> 01:43:00,351
...for my days, Molly.
2489
01:43:00,353 --> 01:43:04,351
Always know that I was
trying to protect you.
2490
01:43:04,353 --> 01:43:07,854
(Molly) Five blocks away,
the FBI had raided my game.
2491
01:43:26,452 --> 01:43:27,950
I fully expected the lobby
to be filled
2492
01:43:27,952 --> 01:43:29,951
with guys wearing windbreakers,
but it wasn't.
2493
01:43:29,953 --> 01:43:32,017
(Reggie) Ms. Bloom. Haven't
seen you for a while.
2494
01:43:32,019 --> 01:43:34,319
- Yeah.
- You need a cab?
2495
01:43:40,186 --> 01:43:43,384
I guess you never made it
upstairs with the packages.
2496
01:43:43,386 --> 01:43:46,221
Maybe I didn't tip you enough
before Christmas.
2497
01:43:49,253 --> 01:43:51,885
(Harrison) Then you got into
a cab, took the cab to JFK
2498
01:43:51,887 --> 01:43:53,551
and flew to your mother's house
in Denver.
2499
01:43:53,553 --> 01:43:54,851
(Molly)
Telluride.
2500
01:43:54,853 --> 01:43:56,683
My mother lives in Telluride.
2501
01:43:56,685 --> 01:43:58,717
- That was two years ago.
- Mm-hmm.
2502
01:43:58,719 --> 01:44:00,317
In a cab on the way
to the airport
2503
01:44:00,319 --> 01:44:02,383
I checked
my bank account balance.
2504
01:44:02,385 --> 01:44:04,084
There should've had a little
over four million dollars
2505
01:44:04,086 --> 01:44:07,351
but instead, it said the balance
was zero, and there was a note
2506
01:44:07,353 --> 01:44:09,451
telling me to contact
the Justice Department.
2507
01:44:09,453 --> 01:44:12,084
I just want to mention that she
also voluntarily checked herself
2508
01:44:12,086 --> 01:44:15,617
into 28-day rehab and has been
sober and clean for two years.
2509
01:44:15,619 --> 01:44:18,651
I don't care. Were the women
that worked for you call girls?
2510
01:44:18,653 --> 01:44:19,817
No, sir.
2511
01:44:19,819 --> 01:44:21,185
They never exchanged
sex for money?
2512
01:44:21,187 --> 01:44:22,483
No.
2513
01:44:22,485 --> 01:44:23,783
Have you ever exchanged
sex for money?
2514
01:44:23,785 --> 01:44:25,851
- No.
- I think he was talking to me.
2515
01:44:25,853 --> 01:44:27,917
I meant, no, she's not
answering that question.
2516
01:44:27,919 --> 01:44:29,717
- The purpose of this meeting...
- I know.
2517
01:44:29,719 --> 01:44:31,118
- Purpose of this meeting...
- We're off the record.
2518
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:32,217
We're not off the record.
2519
01:44:32,219 --> 01:44:33,918
Do you see
a stenographer in here?
2520
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:35,717
We're off the record in
as much as there is no record
2521
01:44:35,719 --> 01:44:37,584
but you're free to use
the information you're given
2522
01:44:37,586 --> 01:44:39,717
and we're not giving
the information for free.
2523
01:44:39,719 --> 01:44:41,651
I've been sitting at this table
for five hours
2524
01:44:41,653 --> 01:44:44,484
waiting for the opportunity
to implore you to do
2525
01:44:44,486 --> 01:44:47,817
the right thing while begging my
client for the last three weeks
2526
01:44:47,819 --> 01:44:49,583
to act in her own
best interest.
2527
01:44:49,585 --> 01:44:51,851
Neither of those things
should be hard.
2528
01:44:51,853 --> 01:44:54,384
The purpose of this meeting
is for you to meet Molly Bloom
2529
01:44:54,386 --> 01:44:56,551
and discover, as I have,
that she's not the person
2530
01:44:56,553 --> 01:44:57,783
the press has invented.
2531
01:44:57,785 --> 01:44:59,218
She's not under
Federal indictment
2532
01:44:59,219 --> 01:45:00,784
for getting bad press, Charlie
2533
01:45:00,786 --> 01:45:02,850
and the purpose of the meeting,
for me is to discover
2534
01:45:02,852 --> 01:45:05,184
if your client is willing to
cooperate with the government
2535
01:45:05,186 --> 01:45:07,617
in putting away
some bad people.
2536
01:45:07,619 --> 01:45:08,550
No.
2537
01:45:08,552 --> 01:45:09,817
You're not willing to cooperate?
2538
01:45:09,819 --> 01:45:13,718
Uh, no, I never traded
sex for money.
2539
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:16,584
I'm still not sure if there's
a record but if there is
2540
01:45:16,586 --> 01:45:19,783
I want it to be certain
that was in it.
2541
01:45:19,785 --> 01:45:21,850
It appears to me throughout
your career as a game runner
2542
01:45:21,852 --> 01:45:23,885
you were extremely diligent
about vetting players.
2543
01:45:23,887 --> 01:45:25,185
I was.
2544
01:45:25,187 --> 01:45:26,416
But you let four guys
play in the game
2545
01:45:26,418 --> 01:45:27,717
without knowing
they were connected?
2546
01:45:27,719 --> 01:45:30,554
Yeah, plus an FBI informant,
it's embarrassing.
2547
01:45:37,519 --> 01:45:40,985
I was high
at the end and...
2548
01:45:40,987 --> 01:45:43,150
doing my job badly.
2549
01:45:43,152 --> 01:45:46,885
I'll also add that in my limited
experience with the Russian mob
2550
01:45:46,887 --> 01:45:51,184
they don't immediately
present themselves as mobsters.
2551
01:45:51,186 --> 01:45:53,584
My experience with the Italian
mob on the other hand...
2552
01:45:53,586 --> 01:45:54,687
Help us.
2553
01:45:56,352 --> 01:45:57,784
I don't know anything
that can help you.
2554
01:45:57,786 --> 01:45:59,684
- Yes. Yes, you do.
- And if I did...
2555
01:45:59,686 --> 01:46:01,718
You can provide color.
You can paint a picture.
2556
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,683
You can tell us Druzhinsky
wore a $100,000
2557
01:46:03,685 --> 01:46:05,350
Patek Philippe
and even drove a Phantom.
2558
01:46:05,352 --> 01:46:07,018
You can tell us Illya Gershen
showed up
2559
01:46:07,020 --> 01:46:09,084
with a quarter million dollars
cash in a backpack and you can
2560
01:46:09,086 --> 01:46:11,183
tell us how much action Shelly
was taking on a sports bet.
2561
01:46:11,185 --> 01:46:14,917
No one was allowed to place
sports bets inside the room.
2562
01:46:14,919 --> 01:46:16,050
They would have to go outside.
2563
01:46:16,052 --> 01:46:17,917
So I had no idea how much
2564
01:46:17,919 --> 01:46:19,584
anyone was taking or laying.
2565
01:46:19,586 --> 01:46:21,351
So now you're saying
you knew they were making
2566
01:46:21,353 --> 01:46:22,518
and taking sports bets.
2567
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,217
That's the point of them
going outside.
2568
01:46:24,219 --> 01:46:26,184
They could have been calling
their mother for all I knew.
2569
01:46:26,186 --> 01:46:28,783
- Molly?
- Yes, sir.
2570
01:46:28,785 --> 01:46:31,184
I don't believe you.
2571
01:46:31,186 --> 01:46:33,451
In Mike Davidoff's phone
intercepts alone
2572
01:46:33,453 --> 01:46:36,483
just Davidoff, your
name comes up 19 times.
2573
01:46:36,485 --> 01:46:38,551
We need Molly... Get
Molly... Bring Molly...
2574
01:46:38,553 --> 01:46:40,417
It strongly suggests
that you were important
2575
01:46:40,419 --> 01:46:41,951
to his business, so it's hard
for me to believe
2576
01:46:41,953 --> 01:46:44,517
that someone with your savvy
and obvious intellect...
2577
01:46:44,519 --> 01:46:47,551
Talking about the drug...
2578
01:46:47,553 --> 01:46:50,283
Get Molly... Bring Molly...
We need Molly...
2579
01:46:50,285 --> 01:46:53,586
It's... They're talking
about the drug ecstasy.
2580
01:46:55,653 --> 01:46:58,984
Shit. My office is next to yours
for two years
2581
01:46:58,986 --> 01:47:01,417
and I've seen you make
some bone-headed moves
2582
01:47:01,419 --> 01:47:03,416
but I've never seen
any prosecutor
2583
01:47:03,418 --> 01:47:06,217
step in it
the way you just did.
2584
01:47:06,219 --> 01:47:07,684
You should thank
all of the Gods that
2585
01:47:07,686 --> 01:47:09,018
there is no physical evidence
of that exchange.
2586
01:47:09,020 --> 01:47:10,784
- Hey, look.
- No, you look.
2587
01:47:10,786 --> 01:47:12,550
Weren't you going to implore me
to do the right thing?
2588
01:47:12,552 --> 01:47:15,885
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment.
2589
01:47:15,887 --> 01:47:17,783
Are you out of your minds?
2590
01:47:17,785 --> 01:47:20,917
She does not belong
in a mob indictment.
2591
01:47:20,919 --> 01:47:24,450
She raked a game, that's it,
for seven months, two years ago.
2592
01:47:24,452 --> 01:47:27,018
And why? Because she was giving
credit in the millions
2593
01:47:27,020 --> 01:47:29,783
and she didn't want to use
muscle to collect.
2594
01:47:29,785 --> 01:47:33,783
She has had opportunity after
opportunity to greatly benefit
2595
01:47:33,785 --> 01:47:37,184
herself by just telling
the real stories that she knows.
2596
01:47:37,186 --> 01:47:40,884
Okay? I have the forensic
imaging going back to 2007.
2597
01:47:40,886 --> 01:47:43,451
And I'm talking
about text messages, emails
2598
01:47:43,453 --> 01:47:46,284
movie stars, rock stars,
athletes, billionaires
2599
01:47:46,286 --> 01:47:48,617
all explicit,
some married with kids
2600
01:47:48,619 --> 01:47:50,517
and that's just
the tip of the iceberg.
2601
01:47:50,519 --> 01:47:52,350
What about the guy
that comes this close
2602
01:47:52,352 --> 01:47:54,250
to being the U.S. Ambassador
to Monaco?
2603
01:47:54,252 --> 01:47:56,885
He's withdrawn from
consideration at the last minute
2604
01:47:56,887 --> 01:47:59,717

mistresses

an SVP of an investment bank
2607
01:48:04,186 --> 01:48:06,584
who wanted Molly to put
a marked deck in a game.
2608
01:48:06,586 --> 01:48:08,316
The head of a movie studio
that texted her that
2609
01:48:08,318 --> 01:48:11,150
a particular movie star was too
black for his liking, I mean...
2610

J. Edgar Hoover didn't
have this much shit on Bobby!
2611
01:48:15,586 --> 01:48:17,316
You know, she could
have written a best seller
2612
01:48:17,318 --> 01:48:18,917
and been set for life.
2613
01:48:18,919 --> 01:48:21,950
Easy, she's got the, she's got
the winning lottery ticket
2614
01:48:21,952 --> 01:48:23,786
and she won't cash it.
2615
01:48:25,819 --> 01:48:29,483
Your office took every dollar
she has in a constitutionally
2616
01:48:29,485 --> 01:48:31,551
fucked up seizure
and then put the IRS on her
2617
01:48:31,553 --> 01:48:34,383
to tax what you seized,
I mean...
2618
01:48:34,385 --> 01:48:35,851
I've been in those
strategy meetings.
2619
01:48:35,853 --> 01:48:38,049
You-you broke her back
so she couldn't possibly
2620
01:48:38,051 --> 01:48:39,683
afford to defend herself.
2621
01:48:39,685 --> 01:48:42,518
And now she has an opportunity
to guarantee her freedom
2622
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,583
by "providing color,"
and she still won't do it.
2623

2625

So, yes, Harrison,
I am imploring you
2626
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:54,551
to do the right thing.
2627
01:48:54,553 --> 01:48:56,250
She knows nothing
about the three Petes
2628
01:48:56,252 --> 01:49:00,416
nothing about Ragnyada, nothing
about RGO or insurance fraud.
2629
01:49:00,418 --> 01:49:03,184
Between the two of us, we've
appeared in front of this judge
2630
01:49:03,186 --> 01:49:05,617
28 times as prosecutors
and not once

2632

he's not gonna start now.
2633
01:49:12,686 --> 01:49:15,183
I know you've been putting this
bust together for three years
2634
01:49:15,185 --> 01:49:18,550
and there's no one who doesn't
want to see mobsters go to jail
2635
01:49:18,552 --> 01:49:21,416
including and especially
the one person in the room

who's had one of them
put a gun in her mouth.

2638
01:49:27,453 --> 01:49:28,918
just consider that all she did
2639
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,017
was run a poker game
exactly the same way

No.

Yeah.

Why don't you just grab

2717
01:54:46,951 --> 01:54:49,017
Do you like your lawyer?
2718
01:54:49,019 --> 01:54:51,317
I wasn't asking for money
when I called you, dad.
2719
01:54:51,319 --> 01:54:53,150
I just needed my dad.
2720
01:54:53,152 --> 01:54:55,484
God forbid you part
with a nickel.
2721
01:54:55,486 --> 01:54:58,250
Yeah, Tiny Tim, you grew up
on a lake and you've skied
2722
01:54:58,252 --> 01:55:00,251
all over the world,
were those work houses tough?
2723
01:55:00,253 --> 01:55:01,616
- I gotta go.
- Molly.
2724
01:55:01,618 --> 01:55:05,453
- I gotta go.
- Molly, sit the fuck down.
2725
01:55:15,552 --> 01:55:17,251
Alright, we're gonna do
three years of therapy
2726
01:55:17,253 --> 01:55:19,017
in three minutes.
2727
01:55:19,019 --> 01:55:20,316
How?
2728
01:55:20,318 --> 01:55:22,117
I'm gonna do what patients
have been begging
2729
01:55:22,119 --> 01:55:23,317
therapists to do
for a hundred years.
2730
01:55:23,319 --> 01:55:25,783
I'm just gonna give you
the answers.
2731
01:55:25,785 --> 01:55:27,983
- To what?
- Well, let's start with this.
2732
01:55:27,985 --> 01:55:30,049
Why does a young woman,
who, at 22
2733
01:55:30,051 --> 01:55:33,883
has a gold-plated resume,
why does she run poker games?
2734
01:55:33,885 --> 01:55:35,783
Why did I choose
to make a ton of money?
2735
01:55:35,785 --> 01:55:36,983
That's a head scratcher.
2736
01:55:36,985 --> 01:55:39,284
You were gonna be a success
at anything you wanted.
2737
01:55:39,286 --> 01:55:41,750
You know it. If you'd gone
to law school, you'd have...
2738
01:55:41,752 --> 01:55:44,050
You'd have owned
the law firm by now.
2739
01:55:44,052 --> 01:55:46,752
Why did you do
the other thing instead?
2740
01:55:47,385 --> 01:55:49,950
I don't know.
2741
01:55:49,952 --> 01:55:52,217
Drugs.
2742
01:55:52,219 --> 01:55:53,782
You didn't start with the drugs
until the end.
2743
01:55:53,784 --> 01:55:57,316
They weren't the problem,
they were the medicine.
2744
01:55:57,318 --> 01:56:00,319
It was so you could
control powerful men.
2745
01:56:02,985 --> 01:56:07,186
Your addiction was
having power over powerful men.
2746
01:56:11,419 --> 01:56:14,183
- Is that what you really think?
- No.
2747
01:56:14,185 --> 01:56:15,750
I know it for sure.
2748
01:56:15,752 --> 01:56:18,616
You've now completed
your first year of therapy.
2749
01:56:18,618 --> 01:56:20,884
I saw an opportunity,
it wasn't about you.
2750
01:56:20,886 --> 01:56:22,717
Nah, it wasn't just about me.
2751
01:56:22,719 --> 01:56:25,619
- It wasn't at all about you.
- It was.
2752
01:56:26,453 --> 01:56:29,120
Second year, second question.
2753
01:56:31,986 --> 01:56:33,949
Do you think
you were a good husband?
2754
01:56:33,951 --> 01:56:35,451
What do you care?
2755
01:56:35,453 --> 01:56:37,250
I care because you were married
to my mother.
2756
01:56:37,252 --> 01:56:39,216
I care because
my father's an asshole.
2757
01:56:39,218 --> 01:56:41,017
Congratulations.
2758
01:56:41,019 --> 01:56:42,716
You've completed year two.
2759
01:56:42,718 --> 01:56:44,950
And for the record,
your father raised three kids
2760
01:56:44,952 --> 01:56:46,617
on a college professor's salary.
2761
01:56:46,619 --> 01:56:49,250
One of them
is a two-time Olympian
2762
01:56:49,252 --> 01:56:51,516
a sixth round draft pick
of the Philadelphia Eagles
2763
01:56:51,518 --> 01:56:54,049
and a leading philanthropist.
2764
01:56:54,051 --> 01:56:56,782
The other is a cardiothoracic
surgeon at Mass General
2765
01:56:56,784 --> 01:57:00,649
and the third managed to build
a multi million dollar business
2766
01:57:00,651 --> 01:57:03,487
using not much more
than her wits.
2767
01:57:05,319 --> 01:57:07,717
I'm about to plead guilty
in Federal Court.
2768
01:57:07,719 --> 01:57:09,450
Well, nobody's perfect.
2769
01:57:09,452 --> 01:57:12,284
The point is I did
a few things right.
2770
01:57:12,286 --> 01:57:13,683
Last question.
2771
01:57:13,685 --> 01:57:15,117
No. I've to go.
2772
01:57:15,119 --> 01:57:19,153
Last question, Mol. I'll answer
it, but you have to ask it.
2773
01:57:21,951 --> 01:57:24,752
You have... to ask it.
2774
01:57:35,051 --> 01:57:38,084
Why didn't you like me
as much as my brothers?
2775
01:57:38,086 --> 01:57:39,885
There it is.
2776
01:57:42,453 --> 01:57:43,719
I did.
2777
01:57:45,386 --> 01:57:49,117
It only from time to time
appeared that I didn't.
2778
01:57:49,119 --> 01:57:51,183
It only appeared
that you didn't?
2779
01:57:51,185 --> 01:57:52,316
Yeah.
2780
01:57:52,318 --> 01:57:55,317
That is some
Schedule 1 bullshit.
2781
01:57:55,319 --> 01:57:57,582
Why would...
"It only appeared..." What?
2782
01:57:57,584 --> 01:58:00,816
What? O-okay,
I had an attitude problem.
2783
01:58:00,818 --> 01:58:03,450
I talked back, I...
2784
01:58:03,452 --> 01:58:05,482
broke some normal
adolescent rules.
2785
01:58:05,484 --> 01:58:08,216
I snuck phone time after curfew
2786
01:58:08,218 --> 01:58:09,283
I took your car
when I wasn't allowed to.
2787
01:58:09,285 --> 01:58:10,883
You drove it into a McDonalds.
2788
01:58:10,885 --> 01:58:12,216
And kids get punished for that
but they don't...
2789
01:58:12,218 --> 01:58:13,616
Did you not see the McDonalds?
2790
01:58:13,618 --> 01:58:15,949
I mean, did you misunderstand
what drive-thru meant?
2791
01:58:15,951 --> 01:58:18,084
You'd turn into a different
person, your voice, your face...
2792
01:58:18,086 --> 01:58:20,387
It's because
I knew you knew.
2793
01:58:22,319 --> 01:58:24,284
I didn't hear what you said.
2794
01:58:24,286 --> 01:58:26,016
I said...
2795
01:58:26,018 --> 01:58:28,049
"I knew you knew."
2796
01:58:28,051 --> 01:58:29,449
You knew I knew what?
2797
01:58:29,451 --> 01:58:30,916
(Larry)
What do you, uh, think about
2798
01:58:30,918 --> 01:58:32,316
the following concepts?
2799
01:58:32,318 --> 01:58:34,817
Just going to run them
by you. Marriage?
2800
01:58:34,819 --> 01:58:37,150
It is a trap.
2801
01:58:37,152 --> 01:58:40,084
That I was cheating on mom.
2802
01:58:40,086 --> 01:58:41,650
I knew you knew.
2803
01:58:41,652 --> 01:58:44,415
- Society?
- It is a joke.
2804
01:58:44,417 --> 01:58:47,251
No. I didn't know
unt-until I was 20.
2805
01:58:47,253 --> 01:58:49,816
- People?
- I don't trust people.
2806
01:58:49,818 --> 01:58:52,117
No, you'd known
since you were five.
2807
01:58:52,119 --> 01:58:55,786
You saw me in my car and you
really didn't know what you saw.
2808
01:58:58,719 --> 01:59:00,486
I don't have any heroes.
2809
01:59:02,886 --> 01:59:06,719
You knew, honey, and I knew
you knew. And that's...
2810
01:59:08,518 --> 01:59:12,183
That's how I reacted
to the shame.
2811
01:59:12,185 --> 01:59:14,782
And you reacted by showing...
2812
01:59:14,784 --> 01:59:17,252
seething contempt for me.
2813
01:59:18,384 --> 01:59:21,516
By driving my car
into McDonalds.
2814
01:59:21,518 --> 01:59:23,949
Wanting to have power over
powerful men?
2815
01:59:23,951 --> 01:59:25,482
No.
2816
01:59:25,484 --> 01:59:28,349
That was a red-herring
just to make you mad.
2817
01:59:28,351 --> 01:59:30,819
- You're such...
- You tripped over a stick.
2818
01:59:32,418 --> 01:59:35,984
Okay? Twelve years ago,
you tripped over a stick.
2819
01:59:35,986 --> 01:59:39,984
It was a one in a million thing.
You tripped over a stick.
2820
01:59:39,986 --> 01:59:42,283
That's what you did wrong.
2821
01:59:42,285 --> 01:59:44,419
There's your session.
2822
01:59:50,085 --> 01:59:52,150
It's funny how much faster
you can go
2823
01:59:52,152 --> 01:59:54,683
when you're not charging
by the hour.
2824
01:59:54,685 --> 01:59:57,217
I'm your father.
2825
01:59:57,219 --> 02:00:00,415
Trying to comprehend
how much I love you
2826
02:00:00,417 --> 02:00:03,283
would be like trying
to visualize the size
2827
02:00:03,285 --> 02:00:05,219
of the universe.
2828
02:00:06,585 --> 02:00:08,950
I didn't know...
2829
02:00:08,952 --> 02:00:12,286
you'd got beaten up
until I read it in your book.
2830
02:00:13,784 --> 02:00:15,350
It was a hell of a way
to learn about it.
2831
02:00:15,352 --> 02:00:18,050
You should know
that I'm hirin' someone
2832
02:00:18,052 --> 02:00:19,183
to find the guy who did it.
2833
02:00:19,185 --> 02:00:21,149
Then, I'm hirin'
someone to kill him.
2834
02:00:21,151 --> 02:00:22,616
Don't even joke about that.
2835
02:00:22,618 --> 02:00:23,885
I'm not.
2836
02:00:25,785 --> 02:00:27,816
It wasn't a purse snatcher, dad.
It was the mafia...
2837
02:00:27,818 --> 02:00:29,783
I don't care
if it's the leader of Hamas.
2838
02:00:29,785 --> 02:00:33,452
Someone put their hands
on you, they're gonna suffer.
2839
02:00:37,352 --> 02:00:40,187
- Dad, I'm fine.
- No, they're gonna suffer.
2840
02:00:41,719 --> 02:00:43,016
Dad...
2841
02:00:43,018 --> 02:00:44,716
- I'm, I'm alright.
- No.
2842
02:00:44,718 --> 02:00:46,352
They're gonna suffer.
2843
02:00:51,086 --> 02:00:52,886
Really, I'm fine.
2844
02:01:18,818 --> 02:01:20,750
- Did you know that...
- Oh!
2845
02:01:20,752 --> 02:01:22,516
I didn't see you.
2846
02:01:22,518 --> 02:01:23,984
Did you know that we know
what the center
2847
02:01:23,986 --> 02:01:27,183
of our galaxy smells like?
2848
02:01:27,185 --> 02:01:29,950
It smells like
rum and raspberries.
2849
02:01:29,952 --> 02:01:31,883
The center of the galaxy
is ethyl formate
2850
02:01:31,885 --> 02:01:34,116
which is the same gas
that gives rum its smell.
2851
02:01:34,118 --> 02:01:36,315
And raspberries their taste.
2852
02:01:36,317 --> 02:01:38,017
Why do you know these things?
2853
02:01:38,019 --> 02:01:40,516
To stay busy during games,
I surfed the internet.
2854
02:01:40,518 --> 02:01:43,517
Then I started
taking online courses.
2855
02:01:43,519 --> 02:01:45,582
I'm 12 credits away
from a degree in Astronomy
2856
02:01:45,584 --> 02:01:47,719
I didn't even know
I was enrolled.
2857
02:01:50,718 --> 02:01:52,816
Hey.
2858
02:01:52,818 --> 02:01:55,485
I wanna thank you
for what you said tonight.
2859
02:01:59,252 --> 02:02:00,718
It was Stella...
2860
02:02:04,252 --> 02:02:06,415
who asked me to be your lawyer.
2861
02:02:06,417 --> 02:02:07,816
She read the book.
2862
02:02:07,818 --> 02:02:09,683
I accused her
of reading trash.
2863
02:02:09,685 --> 02:02:14,817
But she defended
the book impressively.
2864
02:02:14,819 --> 02:02:18,083
And then defended you.
2865
02:02:18,085 --> 02:02:20,219
You're her role model.
2866
02:02:21,718 --> 02:02:23,652
I'm good with that.
2867
02:02:27,651 --> 02:02:29,786
There's a new offer
on the table.
2868
02:02:31,052 --> 02:02:32,215
What is it?
2869
02:02:32,217 --> 02:02:34,152
We hand over the hard drives.
2870
02:02:35,317 --> 02:02:36,517
I don't get it.
2871
02:02:36,519 --> 02:02:38,150
We hand over
the forensic imaging
2872
02:02:38,152 --> 02:02:39,984
of the emails and texts
in exchange for...
2873
02:02:39,986 --> 02:02:43,186
Exchange for, what could they
possibly offer me to do that?
2874
02:02:51,684 --> 02:02:54,119
I wrote it all down.
It's, um...
2875
02:03:01,986 --> 02:03:04,450
Your money back.
2876
02:03:04,452 --> 02:03:07,453
They'll give you all your money
back, plus interest.
2877
02:03:08,417 --> 02:03:11,215
It's over five million dollars.
2878
02:03:11,217 --> 02:03:13,685
Is that why they took it
in the first place?
2879
02:03:14,785 --> 02:03:16,282
So they could offer it
back to me?
2880
02:03:16,284 --> 02:03:17,749
Yeah. For what it's worth
2881
02:03:17,751 --> 02:03:19,783
if we went to trial,
you'd have to hand over
2882
02:03:19,785 --> 02:03:21,683
the forensic imaging
and the discoveries.
2883
02:03:21,685 --> 02:03:23,582
But that's different than
voluntarily handing it over...
2884
02:03:23,584 --> 02:03:26,148
Sure, but it's not really
voluntary anymore
2885
02:03:26,150 --> 02:03:28,016
when the alternative
is prison.
2886
02:03:28,018 --> 02:03:30,518
And that's what they're going
to recommend, 42 months.
2887
02:03:34,484 --> 02:03:36,216
Why do you keep breaking
eye contact with me?
2888
02:03:36,218 --> 02:03:38,416
I-I'm looking right at you.
2889
02:03:38,418 --> 02:03:40,182
You think I should do it.
2890
02:03:40,184 --> 02:03:41,749
You gotta let me keep
you out of prison.
2891
02:03:41,751 --> 02:03:43,050
You've seen
what's on those hard drives.
2892
02:03:43,052 --> 02:03:44,316
Yeah. Yeah.
2893
02:03:44,318 --> 02:03:45,382
It's a lot more
than a little color.
2894
02:03:45,384 --> 02:03:47,148
Yeah, but complete immunity.
2895
02:03:47,150 --> 02:03:48,717
Alright?
You get all your money back.
2896
02:03:48,719 --> 02:03:50,783
You'd be the first defendant
to walk out of a courtroom
2897
02:03:50,785 --> 02:03:52,250
better off
than when you walked in.
2898
02:03:52,252 --> 02:03:54,283
Careers will be ruined.
2899
02:03:54,285 --> 02:03:56,750
Families, wives, lives on both...
2900
02:03:56,752 --> 02:03:59,315
Hey, you know,
w-when a rich goes to jail
2901
02:03:59,317 --> 02:04:01,250
he spreads his money around,
his-his lawyer knows
2902
02:04:01,252 --> 02:04:02,717
how to take care of that.
2903
02:04:02,719 --> 02:04:05,616
He spreads his money around.
You don't have any.
2904
02:04:05,618 --> 02:04:08,516
The composition of female
inmates in a federal prison.
2905
02:04:08,518 --> 02:04:10,817
They did not commit
financial crimes.
2906
02:04:10,819 --> 02:04:13,349
They're drug dealers.
They get raped by prison guards.
2907
02:04:13,351 --> 02:04:14,817
Y-you will... You...
2908
02:04:14,819 --> 02:04:16,415
You will not be anonymous,
Molly.
2909
02:04:16,417 --> 02:04:17,917
You will be a target!
2910
02:04:17,919 --> 02:04:20,316
Children will read
their father's text messages
2911
02:04:20,318 --> 02:04:23,415
saying he wished
he'd never had kids.
2912
02:04:23,417 --> 02:04:25,483
- These guys...
- These guys, where are they?
2913
02:04:25,485 --> 02:04:27,683
Why're you in this alone?
Where are your friends?
2914
02:04:27,685 --> 02:04:30,449
Where is the one guy saying,
"Hey, you know, Molly
2915
02:04:30,451 --> 02:04:32,282
"I know you're doing everything
to save my life.
2916
02:04:32,284 --> 02:04:34,416
What can I do for you?
Let me buy you a sandwich."
2917
02:04:34,418 --> 02:04:37,017
Where are they, Molly?
You kept their secrets.
2918
02:04:37,019 --> 02:04:38,984
Where are the people
you're protecting by not telling
2919
02:04:38,986 --> 02:04:40,315
the whole story in the book?
2920
02:04:40,317 --> 02:04:42,048
By settling
the Brad Marion suit.
2921
02:04:42,050 --> 02:04:44,082
By not taking
five million dollars
2922
02:04:44,084 --> 02:04:45,916
of your own money,
by going to jail!
2923
02:04:45,918 --> 02:04:47,249
Where did everybody go?
2924
02:04:47,251 --> 02:04:49,649
It's not their names
I'm protecting, Charlie.
2925
02:04:49,651 --> 02:04:51,115
- It's mine.
- Oh, that's great.
2926
02:04:51,117 --> 02:04:53,683
Well, we don't have
the luxury of integrity.
2927
02:04:53,685 --> 02:04:55,849
- You have to take the deal.
- No.
2928
02:04:55,851 --> 02:04:57,682
You stay out of jail,
you get your money back.
2929
02:04:57,684 --> 02:04:58,617
You pay your debts.
2930
02:04:58,619 --> 02:04:59,849
- You start a new life!
- No.
2931
02:04:59,851 --> 02:05:01,583
Is this self-imposed punishment
2932
02:05:01,585 --> 02:05:03,517
for namin' four guys
in a book?
2933
02:05:03,519 --> 02:05:05,115
- It's not.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
2934
02:05:05,117 --> 02:05:08,683
I threw four people under
the bus for $35,000, Charlie.
2935
02:05:08,685 --> 02:05:10,249
I noticed you kept that out of
your speech to the prosecutor...
2936
02:05:10,251 --> 02:05:11,649
No, don't do that to me.
2937
02:05:11,651 --> 02:05:13,182
I took advantage
of gambling addicts.
2938
02:05:13,184 --> 02:05:15,416
Donnie Silverman,
my brilliant find.
2939
02:05:15,418 --> 02:05:17,349
He lost six million dollars
on my table...
2940
02:05:17,351 --> 02:05:19,883
- Molly, stop. Stop. Uh-huh.
- Moved to Florida.
2941
02:05:19,885 --> 02:05:21,849
Got a job as a substitute
teacher, then hanged himself.
2942
02:05:21,851 --> 02:05:23,617
- In his shower.
- Oh! And that's your fault.
2943
02:05:23,619 --> 02:05:25,483
- That's not your fault!
- Donnie Silverman's dead!
2944
02:05:25,485 --> 02:05:28,582
Harlan Eustice is in jail
in Nevada wishing he was.
2945
02:05:28,584 --> 02:05:30,015
But that's not why
I'm saying no.
2946
02:05:30,017 --> 02:05:31,415
You're not saying no.
2947
02:05:31,417 --> 02:05:32,850
I was named
after my great grandmother.
2948
02:05:32,852 --> 02:05:34,750
- I don't care, you stay here...
- Molly Dubin Bloom...
2949
02:05:34,752 --> 02:05:36,482
- ...all night, you understand?
- ...is my name.
2950
02:05:36,484 --> 02:05:39,015
Until you understand nobody
gives a shit
2951
02:05:39,017 --> 02:05:40,115
about your good name.
2952
02:05:40,117 --> 02:05:41,917
- I do!
- Why?
2953
02:05:41,919 --> 02:05:43,116
- Because...
- Why?
2954
02:05:43,118 --> 02:05:44,616
- Because...
- Tell me why!
2955
02:05:44,618 --> 02:05:48,183
Because it's all I have left.
2956
02:05:48,185 --> 02:05:50,653
Because it's my name.
2957
02:05:54,050 --> 02:05:57,685
And I'll never have another.
2958
02:06:02,117 --> 02:06:04,817
Now, you read "The Crucible!"
2959
02:06:04,819 --> 02:06:08,016
Yeah. Everyone's right.
It's great.
2960
02:06:08,018 --> 02:06:09,453
It is great.
2961
02:06:16,652 --> 02:06:18,786
I want to go
into that courtroom...
2962
02:06:20,684 --> 02:06:22,151
and plead guilty.
2963
02:06:22,919 --> 02:06:25,553
No deals. No trades.
2964
02:06:30,751 --> 02:06:33,517
And you're very sure?
2965
02:06:33,519 --> 02:06:34,519
Yes.
2966
02:06:37,118 --> 02:06:38,816
(male #7)
All rise.
2967
02:06:38,818 --> 02:06:41,582
(Molly) The business
of the court began.
2968
02:06:41,584 --> 02:06:44,983
We stood for the honorable
judge Dustin Foxman.
2969
02:06:44,985 --> 02:06:46,849
And counsel entered
their names for the record.
2970
02:06:46,851 --> 02:06:48,550
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Harrison Wellstone
2971
02:06:48,552 --> 02:06:50,148
for the Southern District
of New York...
2972
02:06:50,150 --> 02:06:52,283
- The docket was called.
- Docket number 1009...
2973
02:06:52,285 --> 02:06:55,383
(Molly) And some pro forma
instructions were given to counsel.
2974
02:06:55,385 --> 02:06:57,016
And I was asked a series
of questions
2975
02:06:57,018 --> 02:06:58,716
from a script
the judge had in front of him.
2976
02:06:58,718 --> 02:07:00,148
Molly Dubin Bloom.
2977
02:07:00,150 --> 02:07:01,249
How old are you?
2978
02:07:01,251 --> 02:07:02,649
Have you taken any drugs?
2979
02:07:02,651 --> 02:07:04,349
Medicine or pills, or had any
2980
02:07:04,351 --> 02:07:06,650
alcoholic beverages
in the past 48 hours?
2981
02:07:06,652 --> 02:07:07,582
Sudafed.
2982
02:07:07,584 --> 02:07:08,884
Is there anything about
the reasons
2983
02:07:08,886 --> 02:07:10,149
for you taking Sudafed
2984
02:07:10,151 --> 02:07:11,649
that would interfere
with what's going on...
2985
02:07:11,651 --> 02:07:13,717
(Molly) 87 questions
he was required to ask
2986
02:07:13,719 --> 02:07:15,649
before he'd permit me
to plead guilty.
2987
02:07:15,651 --> 02:07:17,148
(Foxman) Is your mind
clear today, Ms. Bloom?
2988
02:07:17,150 --> 02:07:18,517
- It is.
- Do you understand...
2989
02:07:18,519 --> 02:07:19,850
- What's going on here today?
- I do.
2990
02:07:19,852 --> 02:07:21,483
(Foxman)
Under the constitution and laws
2991
02:07:21,485 --> 02:07:23,216
of the United States,
you have a right
2992
02:07:23,218 --> 02:07:25,183
to plead to the charges
in the indictment.
2993
02:07:25,185 --> 02:07:27,148
- Do you understand that?
- Yes, Your Honor.
2994
02:07:27,150 --> 02:07:28,983
- And do you understand that?
- Yes, sir.
2995
02:07:28,985 --> 02:07:31,683
At that trial,
you would be presumed to be
2996
02:07:31,685 --> 02:07:34,449
innocent and would not have
to prove that you were innocent.
2997
02:07:34,451 --> 02:07:36,283
- Do you understand that?
- Yes, sir.
2998
02:07:36,285 --> 02:07:37,315
Yes, Your Honor.
2999
02:07:37,317 --> 02:07:38,350
Yes, sir.
3000
02:07:38,352 --> 02:07:39,817
If you plead guilty
3001
02:07:39,819 --> 02:07:41,283
and I accept your plea
3002
02:07:41,285 --> 02:07:42,882
you will give up
your right to appeal
3003
02:07:42,884 --> 02:07:45,682
along with all other rights
I've enumerated.
3004
02:07:45,684 --> 02:07:48,250
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
3005
02:07:48,252 --> 02:07:49,915
Do you understand
that you are charged
3006
02:07:49,917 --> 02:07:53,250
in count 20 with operating
an illegal gambling business
3007
02:07:53,252 --> 02:07:56,049
in violation of Title 18
United States
3008
02:07:56,051 --> 02:07:59,149
Code Sections 1-9-5-5 and 2?
3009
02:07:59,151 --> 02:08:00,483
Yes, I understand.
3010
02:08:00,485 --> 02:08:02,949
Understanding everything
you've been told
3011
02:08:02,951 --> 02:08:04,849
do you now wish
to enter a plea?
3012
02:08:04,851 --> 02:08:08,717
- Yes, sir.
- How do you plead to the charge?
3013
02:08:08,719 --> 02:08:10,152
Guilty, Your Honor.
3014
02:08:11,185 --> 02:08:14,282
Your plea has been so recorded.
3015
02:08:14,284 --> 02:08:15,915
And you may take your seat.
3016
02:08:15,917 --> 02:08:18,283
Before we move
to the sentencing phase
3017
02:08:18,285 --> 02:08:20,386
I would like a word
with counsel, please.
3018
02:08:23,485 --> 02:08:25,249
(Molly)
And then, something happened.
3019
02:08:25,251 --> 02:08:28,251
Pardon me, Mr. Jaffey,
just government counsel.
3020
02:08:30,851 --> 02:08:32,319
Yes, sir.
3021
02:08:36,785 --> 02:08:38,219
What's going on?
3022
02:08:39,950 --> 02:08:41,884
What are they doing?
3023
02:08:47,318 --> 02:08:50,753
- Wait for it.
- What?
3024
02:08:54,818 --> 02:08:57,452
Will the defendant please rise
for sentencing?
3025
02:09:02,285 --> 02:09:04,250
Based on all available
information
3026
02:09:04,252 --> 02:09:06,016
this court manifestly disagrees
3027
02:09:06,018 --> 02:09:08,686
with the government's
sentencing recommendation.
3028
02:09:10,618 --> 02:09:12,449
This courthouse
is located within
3029
02:09:12,451 --> 02:09:14,450
spitting distance
of Wall Street.
3030
02:09:14,452 --> 02:09:16,416
I know this
from my personal experience
3031
02:09:16,418 --> 02:09:17,949
trying to spit at it.
3032
02:09:17,951 --> 02:09:19,549
The men and women
who work there will commit
3033
02:09:19,551 --> 02:09:21,649
more serious crimes
by lunchtime today
3034
02:09:21,651 --> 02:09:24,650
than the defendant has committed
in this indictment.
3035
02:09:24,652 --> 02:09:27,650
I simply don't see how
either the people or the cause
3036
02:09:27,652 --> 02:09:30,215
of justice are served
by locking Molly Boom in prison.
3037
02:09:30,217 --> 02:09:33,249
(Molly) It was as casual as if he
was ordering lunch off a menu.
3038
02:09:33,251 --> 02:09:35,749
Ms. Bloom,
this court sentences you
3039
02:09:35,751 --> 02:09:37,948
to 200 hours
of community service.
3040
02:09:37,950 --> 02:09:40,616
One year
of supervised probation.
3041
02:09:40,618 --> 02:09:45,016
Drug testing
and a $200,000 fine.
3042
02:09:45,018 --> 02:09:47,249
This case is adjourned.
3043
02:09:47,251 --> 02:09:49,386
(Molly)
And that was that.
3044
02:09:50,719 --> 02:09:52,382
There was crying and hugging.
3045
02:09:52,384 --> 02:09:54,182
Jokes from my brothers.
3046
02:09:54,184 --> 02:09:57,781
Tough talk about how no one
messes with the Blooms.
3047
02:09:57,783 --> 02:10:01,749
And level-headed talk
about Christmas miracles.
3048
02:10:01,751 --> 02:10:04,782
Steaks and beer
bought by my father
3049
02:10:04,784 --> 02:10:06,282
and full reenactments.
3050
02:10:06,284 --> 02:10:08,383
And in the middle of it all
3051
02:10:08,385 --> 02:10:10,715
as grateful as you are
3052
02:10:10,717 --> 02:10:13,717
the reality starts creeping
toward you like the tide.
3053
02:10:15,917 --> 02:10:19,416
And that's the first time
you have the thought.
3054
02:10:19,418 --> 02:10:22,149
What do I do know?
3055
02:10:22,151 --> 02:10:23,749
(male #8)
We've got a racer down!
3056
02:10:23,751 --> 02:10:25,583
We need a toboggan
and a back board!
3057
02:10:25,585 --> 02:10:28,483
(Molly) I'm a felon,
I'm 35 years old
3058
02:10:28,485 --> 02:10:31,650
unemployed, and pled guilty
in a mob indictment.
3059
02:10:31,652 --> 02:10:33,550
Make way, people!
Make way!
3060
02:10:33,552 --> 02:10:35,383
Patrol here, move away!
Move away!
3061
02:10:35,385 --> 02:10:37,582
(Molly) I owe the government
close to $2,000,000
3062
02:10:37,584 --> 02:10:40,382
in taxes assessed
on the civil forfeiture.
3063
02:10:40,384 --> 02:10:42,682
Plus, a $200,000 fine.
3064
02:10:42,684 --> 02:10:44,415
And you better believe
they're gonna come get it.
3065
02:10:44,417 --> 02:10:47,049
Clear a path!
Move back please!
3066
02:10:47,051 --> 02:10:49,550
I have a quarter of a million
dollars in legal bills.
3067
02:10:49,552 --> 02:10:51,883
I don't know what I'd say
in a job interview.
3068
02:10:51,885 --> 02:10:55,250
Or if I'll ever be given
a job interview.
3069
02:10:55,252 --> 02:10:57,016
I'll never be allowed
to vote again.
3070
02:10:57,018 --> 02:10:58,948
(female #4) I'm going to
need a set of vitals.
3071
02:10:58,950 --> 02:11:01,182
(Molly) And for some
reason, I'm not allowed
3072
02:11:01,184 --> 02:11:03,617
to go to Canada.
3073
02:11:03,619 --> 02:11:05,749
(female #4)
Molly, can you hear us?
3074
02:11:05,751 --> 02:11:09,482
Hips are stable.
Pelvis is stable.
3075
02:11:09,484 --> 02:11:10,949
Yeah.
3076
02:11:10,951 --> 02:11:12,550
- Her dad's here.
- What's her LOA?
3077
02:11:12,552 --> 02:11:14,282
- Uh, she's comin' around now.
- Open your eyes...
3078
02:11:14,284 --> 02:11:15,916
- If you can hear us.
- Okay, she's conscious.
3079
02:11:15,918 --> 02:11:17,715
- Molly, what day is it?
- You need to stay down, okay?
3080
02:11:17,717 --> 02:11:19,649
You need to go to a hospital.
3081
02:11:19,651 --> 02:11:21,483
What day?
3082
02:11:21,485 --> 02:11:23,482
- Dad, I'm fine.
- Trust you not to move, Molly.
3083
02:11:23,484 --> 02:11:24,882
- Let go of my arm.
- You trying to get up, hon?
3084
02:11:24,884 --> 02:11:26,749
- Yeah.
- She wants to get up.
3085
02:11:26,751 --> 02:11:28,083
(male #9) Our cameras
can't get in there
3086
02:11:28,085 --> 02:11:29,617
so we don't know...
3087
02:11:29,619 --> 02:11:30,883
(male #10) I wonder if
Tracy's got an update
3088
02:11:30,885 --> 02:11:32,148
for us on the ground.
3089
02:11:32,150 --> 02:11:34,516
- She's moving.
- She's moving.
3090
02:11:34,518 --> 02:11:36,282
- You sure you're good?
- Yeah.
3091
02:11:36,284 --> 02:11:39,082
Okay, here we go.
3092
02:11:39,084 --> 02:11:42,615
(male #9) We can see that she's
being helped to her feet now.
3093
02:11:42,617 --> 02:11:45,349
Molly Bloom is of course,
the sister of Jeremy Bloom
3094
02:11:45,351 --> 02:11:47,948
who holds the world's
number one ranking.
3095
02:11:47,950 --> 02:11:50,781
That's her long time coach
there, Ted Keene
3096
02:11:50,783 --> 02:11:52,550
and her father.
3097
02:11:52,552 --> 02:11:56,149
She came back from an injury
when she was just 13.
3098
02:11:56,151 --> 02:11:58,883
You know, you have to wonder
about the psychological toll
3099
02:11:58,885 --> 02:12:03,250
coming that close,
only to lose it like that.
3100
02:12:03,252 --> 02:12:06,015
(Molly)
Did anything good come of this?
3101
02:12:06,017 --> 02:12:07,218
Not really.
3102
02:12:10,885 --> 02:12:13,048
But I learned
something encouraging.
3103
02:12:13,050 --> 02:12:15,116
I'm very hard to kill.
3104
02:12:15,118 --> 02:12:17,215
(male #9) You and I both know
people who've never gotten over it.
3105
02:12:17,217 --> 02:12:19,416
(male #10) I don't know if the
young woman we've just seen is
3106
02:12:19,418 --> 02:12:21,282
is one of those people,
we may not see her ski
3107
02:12:21,284 --> 02:12:23,550
competitively again, but I
think we're gonna see her.
3108
02:12:23,552 --> 02:12:25,615
(Molly) Winston Churchill
defined success
3109
02:12:25,617 --> 02:12:28,449
as "The ability to move
from failure to failure
3110
02:12:28,451 --> 02:12:30,517
with no loss of enthusiasm."
3111
02:12:30,519 --> 02:12:33,250
So, I guess I'm pot-committed.
3112
02:12:33,252 --> 02:12:34,316
(male #9)
She'll be back.
3113
02:12:34,318 --> 02:12:35,349
Alright, up next at the gate
3114
02:12:35,351 --> 02:12:36,649
is Whitney Summerhill
3115
02:12:36,651 --> 02:12:39,486
who's currently
in 12th place after...
3116
