Original subtitles

-Am I in time? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Got any money?

- That's fine. - OK, OK.

On the sixth.

The sixth-

- Well, it's always the same. - Go for it...

- Seven. - You won't get far with that.

- Where's my baby poop color? - Number five-

Have a go at it for me.

Is yours yellow? Who had yellow?

Kazys has yellow.

- Five, where are you? - Seven-

Five, do you hear me?

Hey, this is five. What's up?

Hurry-Hotel at Jurininku 15, room 7. Girl, a teen, passed out, blue skin.

Her girlfriend will meet you.

- We got it. We're on the way. - We never get to play a normal game.

- Let's go. - Come on, hit it again. It'll get better.

- No, no we won't make it. - You know how much you lost yesterday.

What- lost? I won, not lost.

- Uh huh, you won the pot of gold. - When was the last time you won?

- Come on, let's go, Kazys. - Are we ever going to play a normal game?

THE GAMBLER

- Did you call? - Yes, come on; I'll show you.

Hello. What happened?

Hear me? Do you hear me?

The heart's still going. Barely breathing- Hand me the ventilator.

Pinpoint pupils- Collapsed veins.

Zero eight naloxoni into the muscle.

- Fuck, Bogdanas, you could've checked. - I've been saying we need a new one.

What're you doing?

What the fuck!

Be still- easy now.

Kazys, bring a stretcher.

Watch the breathing.

You'd think every bum is your relative.

- Every other junkie has caught a disease. - And you're eating their vomit.

Look, look-

The third? Yeah, yeah, the third. It's all here.

That was the third. Should be ten, huh?

- Congratulations- you won. - Good one- and, for the second-

Listen, Bogdanas, loan me 10 litas, OK?

You owe me 50.

Now 10 for poker-

I'll play that 10 on the third. I'm putting all I have on it.

- You get yours first after payday. - You told Dambrauskas the same thing.

You haven't paid back 5 yet either.

And four-

Go for 7 on the third.

Is that it?

Have a smoke. We'll play.

What the fuck?

You got money for porn. But, you got none for your loan, huh?

Tomorrow you bring the full sum. Got that?

If you piss it all away, don't gamble!

Vincentas, you know you got to quit.

How much time went by?

Over a half hour already.

Maybe try a bit more.

We did it all.

Lung ventilator, oxygen 100%- Got a double dose of medicine.

What more?

I think so too. He's gone.

That's it.

OK, Kazys, stand over here.

We'll wait in the fresh air.

So, we might play one.

I could maybe play on credit.

OK, Vinc, but this is the last time for real.

- Do we have a long wait? - Until the police gets here.

Hi. Listen, the transplant heading to Riga-

Bartusevicius, he died.

Register it?

OK. Bye.

Don't you want to play?

- What are you betting? - Ten each.

Only you need your pawn.

It'll do this time.

So, 10.

How much?

Yes, Lily-

We're not calling that funeral home.

Why?

They got five corpses in a row. And, they still owe us for May.

Call the other home.

OK. Bye.

It's your move.

... with canoes and bikes and tents.

Our family goes in any weather.

Mushroom season is starting soon.

Leonas, I want to ask you about singing.

what's it to you- a life style? Leisure?

where do you sing? Mornings in the shower?

well, you know- A lot happens. Depends on the mood.

If I asked you, now, here in the woods?

- Here, in the woods? - Yes.

I've never sung arias in the woods before.

Try it. The viewers will be very happy.

- Really? - Really.

Bravo, Leonas.

Dear TV viewers, that was Leonas,

a mechanical engineer from Paneve?ys.

Good evening. I'm starting a new week of daily games.

A minute now for the Keno lotto players and their winnings.

Today is the 5,272nd game.

Monday's numbers- write them down.

38. 35.

21.

49. 14.

33. 60.

27.

12.

Laima?

- She won't play. - Dambrauskas.

Dambrauskas will play.

- Liubartas - 100%. - Yeah.

- We'll pull leva in too. - Who?

I wouldn't do that.

But, Zinaida, for sure yeah.

And Kristina probably.

My fellows, this year, our fine tradition-

best Emergency Services employee election.

Summing the diagnoses matching results,

numbers of thank yous and no complaints.

We recognize Dr. Vincentas Bartkus, our best employee.

For the ninth time in a row.

He wins a diploma of honor,

a mug with the Health Ministry logo

and ten energy bars.

It's a gift from our sponsor.

Do we bet on everyone in intensive care or just the critical ones?

Everyone- with no exceptions.

A more critical patient has lower odds.

A healthier one, with a greater chance to survive, has higher odds.

The winner is the first to reach the finish, i.e., the first to die.

- I just wonder; who will set those odds? - I'll set them.

- Where's the data from? - That's my business.

Data's no problem.

Today, when we drove, we could have bet right in the car.

Today's Monday. Sunday is winners' day.

The lowest bet is 10 litas.

What if nobody dies all week?

Then the money stays in the bank. Next week we play for a bigger pot.

We should set up somewhere else.

- Yeah, not here for sure. - Well, not at the substation.

- Did you go to Juste's parents too? - Whose?

Who, who- were you at her parents'?

No.

Here, take it.

- Is that all? - I told you what I'll pay.

The funeral home pays three times more.

For corpses- I pay for all intensive care cases.

Can you imagine the risk I'm taking?

You won.

Aren't you playing anymore?

No- see you next Sunday.

Why didn't we get Dambrauskas instead-

Instead of who?

Where's your brandy?

What are you doing?

Kaziukas, what are you doing?

Hold this.

Ieva, bring a stretcher.

We've got one.

Look, take this to the junk yard. You'll get 10.

It's still good.

Well, hurry up.

- You'll see. It'll be the ischemic. - Or a sports biker.

- Who's that? - A speed bike rider.

- The one with the fractures? - Well-

Nonsense.

Oh, did I say a stroke?

Fucking shooby fucking doobie!

Noodle in your eye.

Fuck, damn- The heart case was doing well.

You, damn it, no one bet on her.

I thought, mother fucker, I'll risk it.

And what the fuck was it, Bogdanas?

The whore. A heart attack!

- You got lucky. - What'll you buy?

Here's what I'll buy.

Half a year I'm saving for a set of teeth.

I would have drunk it away. While you, at least-

- He's the first winner. - Yeah, bravo.

- Good evening. - Hello.

- What's this? - It's for my future swimming student.

I don't know if I got the size right.

They said it can be exchanged.

Really? Is that what they said?

I forgot the phone- just a minute.

I said I'd pay back the money.

- I'm not going to look for you all over. - See- I'm not alone.

I'm not alone either.

- You still owe 900. - It was 700.

The percentages grew.

Is everything OK?

Yeah.

- Do you want something to drink? - We haven't decided yet.

OK.

Listen, I forgot my wallet.

Can you lend me some money?

I don't like it here.

Can we go somewhere else?

See, I'll go and jump.

I'll jump.

You'll see. I'll go and jump.

You'll see. I'll really jump.

Stay away. I'll go and jump. Fools, asses-

- Hi. - Hi.

That's it, I'm jumping.

Hi, Norkus. What's going on?

It's some psycho. What's with you?

Not much, we just came to the docks. Does she want to jump?

Second time she's climbed that bridge.

Wanna bet 5? I say she doesn't jump.

No way. Here you couldn't kill yourself.

Norkus, did you talk to your people?

Yeah, plus at the other substation.

- What about them? - Fine, everybody wants in.

Just so word doesn't get out to the boss.

What if it does get out? Let him pay us on time.

I'm all for getting more money from the side.

She's ranting suspiciously today. She might jump.

She'll end up in the nut house.

- The firemen said it's over a man. - That's crazy.

Do we or don't we bet?

- You owe me 5. - What? You didn't even want to play.

- What is it? Is something wrong? - No, very good.

Good girl,

keep trying.

Breathe deep and lie down on the water.

How? I'm scared.

OK, we'll try it together. I'll hold your hand.

Breathe in.

Povilas, I'm already swimming.

Where's Povilas?

Povilas!

Povilas!

Povilas!

Povilas! Where are you?

Povilas!

Povilas!

Mom, I'm over here.

No, we didn't make it.

He was dead when we got there.

It's probably thromboembolism. I'll call you right back.

Hello- It's Perlas Lottery kicking off.. And now, Keno Lotto.

Today is the 5,159th game.

It's your successful, lucky moment.

You can win up to 200, 000 litas. It all depends on the numbers.

Get ready to jot down the full combination.

25.

49. 22.

19. 1.

35. 53.

13.

6.

48.

Next- a 30 rolls out.

- You got a calculator? - There's one in the cell phone.

So, what? You got it?

It should have been like this long ago.

Now we're even.

Now we're even.

Want to make some money?

Could you stop playing that game?

Nobody's playing it.

Nobody wanted to.

See, there're three parts.

External and internal injuries, overall status and associated illnesses.

This here is the diagnosis.

Then add in family and social status,

education and bad habits, like booze.

Fuck! What the hell is this?

- So, what percent do you give? - Ten.

- For everyone brought in? - Yeah.

- So, how much did Staska win? - Over 300.

Who did he bet on?

Some stroke, with odds of six plus a bit.

He didn't last long.

What intuition Staska has.

Crap on the intuition.

What's important is getting lots of people, like a pyramid.

If you lose, you'll get your agent fees.

Who doesn't want extra money?

15,000.

- How much? - 15,000.

For medicine?

I told you there's none in Lithuania. And that's for the first treatment course.

Is there any other way to treat him?

I'll give you the contact pharmacologists.

Call them when you have the money.

Are you playing or not?

These are the registration pages.

The name and the amount of the bet.

The odds and your percentage- how much money you get. Is it clear?

For one and for the other.

Let's drive over there now.

What's wrong, damn it?

The finale is coming up.

Hello, my dear, the tram stops here.

How much can I take?

Pay up or you move out tomorrow.

- But, I told you- - And I'm telling you.

Pay up and live.

Do you understand?

What do you need?

How much do you owe them?

It's 2,300- isn't it?

Yes, yes.

So you've got a sponsor.

Here's 400.

- Is that all? - For starters.

Good sponsor-

If you don't pay the rest in a couple days,

you move out. OK?

OK, let's go, my bodyguard.

Maybe you can help me.

Do we have to bet on Liubartas too?

Vinc, maybe we'd better not, not on one of us.

Show me what your nephew cooked up.

Almost 2,000 visitors the first week, with no advertising.

Who's this?

Liubartas.

- There are already 4,500 bet on him. - lt'll be 5,000 by evening.

That's double what we collected in person.

Who is one of us?

There are only gamblers and money.

Don't start with who's one of us. The game will stop.

Someone will always be someone's one of us.

Everybody's entered.

Liubartas with many traumas.

Inborn heart defect - 3,500.

Chronic obstruction - 720.

Cirrhosis of the liver - 1,100.

Medication poisoning - 2,300.

Look, there are even some comments here. Check it out- bet or don't bet.

Fuck yeah.

I think it's an occasion to celebrate.

Vinc!

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Here's 15,000.

But, I only asked for 12,000.

And, don't you dare pay it back.

Vinc, are you going?

Best wishes to Povilas.

- No. 1 - 362. - Yes.

- Hemorrhaging stroke, No. 5 - 1130. - Yes.

- lschemic brain stroke No. 4- - Yes.

Sepsis No. 2 - 785.

- Festering meningoencephalitis No. 3. - Yes.

The pregnant one with eclampsia- I don't know what to do with her.

Vincentas, what about the pregnant one?

- What's not clear? - What do we do with the kid?

- What does the kid have to do with it? - What if he survives?

What of it? We're not playing on him.

Kazys is right to ask.

Is it kid with mother or separate? One of them could survive.

The bet's on the mother, not the kid.

We could place double bets. If both happen to die-

How can it die if it ain't born yet?

How can I put it? Catholics say life begins-

Bogdanas is right. Let's bet on both. Whoever bets double wins double.

I said so from the start. It was them saying there's no kid, no kid.

Ieva!

Feel tired?

When's your shift over today?

Go home.

If you want I can work for you. Want to?

If you want I can work for you. Want to?

This is for you.

I'm Vincentas, a colleague of Liubartas.

We're thinking, maybe-

Vincentas, the game's rolling along. There's more unpleasant work.

We take care of everything.

And, I was thinking, these days, what does that 10% really mean?

- What do you take care of? - Compensating the agents and the winners-

Agents, winners- The whole shitty part is ours.

- We want a higher percentage. - Up to 20%.

- We want a higher percentage. - Up to 20%.

- Do you get a percentage from Deadbook? - It's really low- only 5%.

What do you contribute?

Kazys, wait a minute.

Dear Jolanta, relatives, coworkers, guests

I want to say a warm word for our dearest member.

Liubartas was an open-hearted, sincere, wonderful man.

Liubartas left us too early.

Liubartas is dear to me in all ways.

What's wrong?

Liubartas is dear to me in all ways,

as a person, a professional doctor.

The widow can say, as a man he was somebody exceptional.

You can't count how many lives he saved. It's like stars in the sky.

But-

Listen, you're drunk. Don't start up. Behave yourself.

I mostly want to remember the day when he first came on the job.

Remembering that first day- along comes this little schlemiel.

Remembering that first day- along comes this little schlemiel.

This little schlemiel comes, and I think- My God, what are you getting into?

You're going to break down the first day.

Then I looked more closely into his eyes. They're simply burning.

Our eyes don't burn like that.

He's all afire wanting to save everyone. He wanted to save the world, cause-

- So, why? - Vincentas!

Cause he felt- Damn it, Vincentas, wait.

- I'm not done. Shame on you. Sit down. - Who did he save?

- He felt this job was meaningful. - Felt meaningful? Meaningful?

- Meaning! - What kind of meaning?

- To save lives, you fuck. - Do you feel meaningful?

- Shit, I feel it. - What meaning do you feel?

Sit down, you beast. You're a beast, you prick.

He felt meaning.

I'll show you the meaning!

Shut up.

Get out of here.

Are you gonna drink?

You slander your coworkers,

dream up idiocies of games on death.

What about you? Stealing morphine.

Irute, go out for a bit. I've got to have a talk.

I was framed.

There's nothing I can do.

Be glad I didn't call the police.

I could fire you as a staff cutback.

Then you'd get a compensation.

Ieva!

What 15,000?

The maximum with us is 7 000.

You have no job, no assets. Do you have a husband?

No.

You shouldn't get anything, as it is.

I'm decent. The maximum- 700 litas. You have to pay it back in six weeks.

OK.

What's OK, madam? Can you count?

No.

When do I get the money?

Now.

- Here? - Yes.

- How is he? - We're moving him into intensive care.

- Where are you taking him? - Don't disturb us.

Is he feeling bad?

- What are they going to do to him? - I said, don't disturb us. Go away.

Quit breaking in. Listen, you hysteric.

Quit breaking down the door.

The lock is changed.

You don't live here anymore.

Uncontrollable-

Uncontrollable-

Where's my money?

What're we talking about, madam?

This was my 3,500.

What 3,500? It wasn't a full 2000.

- You took all my savings! - You already owed me for the rent anyway.

Quit pounding.

How about a busted toilet, missing doorknobs,

broken washing machine?

A total of- let me count it up.

You still owe me 300!

Am I right?

You still owe me 300, you hysteric.

Heat some tea. I can't take all this.

You keep rattling the forks all the time.

Didn't your mama teach you to use a fork?

My nerves are shot. You and the hysteric-

Why are you grinning? Heat the tea.

You ruined my appetite, hysteric.

I'm calling the police. Are you nuts?

Is she stupid or what? I don't get it.

I'm calling the police right now. What did I say?

Quit breaking everything.

Haven't you seen leva?

Don't you know about it?

What am I supposed to know?

Who framed leva?

Who did it?

Whose way did she get into?

Was it you?

Hey, don't start.

What have I got to do with this? Your old lady did the stealing.

This medicine will stay with me, OK?

Good day.

What news? Sit down.

What are you giving me?

I wasn't able to get the full amount.

I don't need any money.

What are you doing?

Don't lose your mind, OK?

Get dressed.

Get dressed immediately and get out of my office.

When you have the medicine, then come back.

What's next? Everybody wants their money.

Tell me where the money is. Then start dressing.

Say where it is, and we'll leave you alone.

Well?

Damn it, take everything, the car included, damn it.

Is anyone betting on Vincentas?

We set indecent odds - 15 to 1.

If it were at least 10 to 1.

No one will risk it when there's a pregnant one with a kid.

We didn't beat the shit out of him enough.

The prick will get well soon, damn it.

What are the rules? I want to bet all of this.

Don't you believe me?

Hello. Listen. I'm calling about Vinc.

He's going back into inpatient care.

Maybe you should bet on someone else.

We'll let you, as one of us.

No, don't change anything.

Ieva, do you hear me? It's 1000 litas. Money doesn't fall out of the sky.

Leave it. I'm not changing my bet.

No means no.

Did you hear that?

Give back the money, Vinc.

And everything will be like before.

Hello. Wait. I can't talk now.
