00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:22,246
MOLLY: A survey was taken
a few years ago
4
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:25,040
that asked 300 professionals
one question,
5
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:27,119
"What's the worst thing
that can happen in sports?"
6
00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:30,501
(CHEERING CONTINUES)
7
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:32,881
Some people answered
losing a Game 7.
8
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:35,672
COMMENTATOR: He scores!
Bruins win in seven games!
9
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:40,507
MOLLY: And other people said
getting swept in four.
10
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:45,428
Some people said
it was missing the World Cup.
11
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,559
Guatemala is eliminated!
12
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:52,148
And some Brazilians said
it was losing to Argentina.
13
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:56,277
Notjust in the World Cup.
Anytime. Ever. In any contest.
14
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,236
But one person answered
15
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:00,034
that the worst thing
that can happen in sports
16
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,237
is fourth place
at the Olympics.
17
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,830
This is a true story, but,
except for my own,
18
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,119
I've changed all the names
19
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:07,833
and I've done my best
to obscure identities
20
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,751
for reasons
that'll become clear.
21
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,038
I'm Molly Bloom,
22
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,248
and right now I'm ranked third
23
00:02:13,342 --> 00:02:15,755
in North America
in Woman's Moguls.
24
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:17,176
I grew up
in Loveland, Colorado,
25
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:18,878
about two hours
north of Denver.
26
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,213
I have a BA
in Political Science
27
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:22,056
from the University
of Colorado
28
00:02:22,184 --> 00:02:23,766
where I graduated
summa cum laude
29
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,684
with a 3.9 GPA.
30
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:29,560
The median LSAT score
at Harvard Law School is 169.
31
00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:31,520
My score is 173.
32
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,148
Number 87 up! 56 on deck!
33
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:35,978
I've spent 16 years
chasing winter
34
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:37,689
and being coached
by the best in the world.
35
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:40,816
Sundays were for working out
with my father.
36
00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:42,243
Something's really wrong.
37
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:43,319
When I was 12 years old,
38
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:45,826
for no particular reason,
my back exploded.
39
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:46,997
Tough it out.
40
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,743
Good advice. And lose the attitude.
41
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:50,826
MOLLY:
Less than ten minutes later,
42
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:52,412
I was in the back
of an ambulance.
43
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:53,872
(SIREN WAILING)
44
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:55,922
I had what's called
rapid-onset scoliosis.
45
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,716
My spine was curved
at 63 degrees,
46
00:02:57,803 --> 00:02:59,635
and I'd need a seven-hour
surgical procedure
47
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:01,553
that involved
straightening my spine,
48
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,678
extracting bone from my hip,
fusing 11 vertebrae together,
49
00:03:04,768 --> 00:03:06,760
and fastening steel rods
to the fused segments.
50
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,094
She's going to be fine.
(GASPS)
51
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:10,896
I wouldn't let her
ski anymore.
52
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:12,439
Definitely not moguls.
53
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,104
And obviously
skiing competitively
54
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,275
is out of the question.
55
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,903
MRS. BLOOM: Fine.
Oh, God, thank you.
56
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:20,778
MOLLY:
I was on skis again in a year,
57
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,199
running moguls in 18 months,
58
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:24,948
and by my 20th birthday
I made the U. S. Ski Team.
59
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,867
It's the last round
of qualifying
60
00:03:26,957 --> 00:03:28,073
for the Salt Lake City
Olympics.
61
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:29,832
This is the champion run
at Deer Valley.
62
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:33,374
The altitude is 8, 100 feet
and the pitch is 52 degrees,
63
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:35,295
which is the same as the sides
of the Great Pyramids.
64
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:37,252
The wind's 20 to 25
miles an hour,
65
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:38,753
blowing left to right.
66
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,086
It's three below zero
at the top of the slope.
67
00:03:41,179 --> 00:03:43,341
And with 17 skiers
in front of me,
68
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:45,094
it's going to be like
trying to stick a landing
69
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:46,719
on a frozen infinity pool.
70
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,051
Kiki blew out of her line.
71
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:50,137
Shannon was off-balance
on her second landing.
72
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:52,514
MOLLY: He's talking about Kiki
Bandy and Shannon Keebler,
73
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,599
my two toughest competitors,
who had significant
74
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:57,398
point deductions
on their final runs.
75
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,194
I can make the Olympic team,
right now.
76
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:00,271
Go get it.
77
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,277
And if I have three
perfect runs in Salt Lake,
78
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,199
the best runs of my life,
79
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:05,993
I can beat
the Austrians and the Swiss
80
00:04:06,538 --> 00:04:08,746
and have a realistic shot
at the podium.
81
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:10,573
Then law school,
and then a startup.
82
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,121
A foundation that seeds
entrepreneurial women.
83
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,661
My father's at the bottom
of the slope,
84
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,668
telepathically telling me
to check my line.
85
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:18,874
Check your line.
86
00:04:18,967 --> 00:04:20,549
I check my line.
87
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:21,625
OFFICIAL: (OVER PA)
Competitor ready?
88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,052
(BEEPING)
89
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:29,175
Good snow contact,
calm upper body,
90
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,852
legs together, good shape,
no line deviation.
91
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,271
Set up for the D-spin and
92
00:04:35,734 --> 00:04:36,975
stick the landing.
93
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:39,603
Now two things you need to
know before the second trick,
94
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:41,278
which will be a 720.
95
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:42,980
The first is that
when visibility is bad
96
00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:44,235
the way it is now,
97
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:46,283
race officials toss pine
boughs on the course
98
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:47,485
so the skiers have some
99
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:48,660
foreground depth reference.
100
00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:51,239
The second is that
the tightness of your bindings
101
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,245
is determined by
what is called a DIN setting.
102
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:54,325
If you're a beginner,
103
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:55,876
your DIN setting
is probably a two or three.
104
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,248
If you're an experienced
weekend skier,
105
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:58,580
it's probably seven or eight.
106
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,209
Mine's 15.
107
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,383
My boots are basically
welded to my skis.
108
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:03,926
Right?
So how does this happen?
109
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:08,339
It happened because
I hit a pine bough
110
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,844
that had become
frozen in the snow.
111
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:12,264
And I hit it so precisely
112
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:14,721
that it simply snapped
the release of my bindings.
113
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:16,147
Right in that moment,
I didn't have time
114
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,849
to calculate the odds
of that happening
115
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,434
because I was about
to land pretty hard
116
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,440
on my digitally re-mastered
spinal cord,
117
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:22,520
which was being held together
118
00:05:22,614 --> 00:05:24,230
by spare parts
from an Erector Set.

MOLLY: None of this has
anything to do with poker.
124
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,540
I'm only mentioning it
because I wanted to
125
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,170
say to whoever answered
that the worst thing
126
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,627
that could happen in sports
was fourth place
127
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,927

because I haven't
run a game in two years.
168
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,550
TOMASINO:
I want you to take a look
169
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,261
at this piece of paper
right here.
170
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:02,096
Can you see
what it says at the top?
171
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:05,265
Yes.
172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,601
Read to me
what it says at the top.
173
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:10,897
The United States of America
vs. Molly Bloom.
174
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:15,568
I bet heavy on the favorite.
175
00:08:18,123 --> 00:08:21,491
LARRY: What do you think
about the following concepts?
176
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:22,950
Just going to
run them by you.
177
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:24,160
Marriage?
178
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,586
It is a trap.
179
00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:28,164
LARRY: Society?
180
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:29,961
It is a joke.
181
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,297
People?
182
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:36,389
I think there's
good and bad.
183
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:39,975
But I don't trust them.
184
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:42,720
I don't trust people.
185
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:44,772
MOLLY:
Every year on our birthdays,
186
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,271
my father would interview
my younger brothers and me.
187
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,777
LARRY: Who are the heroes
or heroines in your life?
188
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,651
Who do you really respect?
189
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,274
I don't have any heroes.
190
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,984
You don't have any heroes?
191
00:08:57,078 --> 00:08:58,694
MOLLY: How's this for hubris?
192
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:00,029
I don't.
193
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,992
Because if I reach the goals
I set out for myself,
194
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:07,578
then the person I become,
that'll be my hero.
195
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:09,713
Even by teenage
girl standards,
196
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,540
I would appear to be
irrationally angry
197
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:13,591
at nothing in particular.
198
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:16,091
It would be another 22 years
before I'd find out why.
199
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,765
After my colossal
wipeout at Deer Valley,
200
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:22,434
I decided to take a year off
before law school.
201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,853
I needed to go away,
sever myself from reality,
202
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,225
and come up with a new plan.
203
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,648
So, I chose Los Angeles.
204
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:30,643
A friend of mine
from the ski team
205
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,275
had agreed to let me crash
on a couch for a while.
206
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,443
My father had disapproved
of postponing law school,
207
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,820
and so declined to help out.
208
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:41,370
But I had $1, 700 I'd saved
from babysitting money,
209
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:42,446
and that would support me
210
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,623
until I found
a waitressing job.
211
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:47,747
I'd already had a career
and retired from it.
212
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:50,705
I wanted to be young
for a while in warm weather.
213
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,712
I think that's what
I wanted at first.
214
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:54,833
It's hard to remember.
215
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,508
I got a job working bottle
service at a club in Hollywood
216
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,884
called Nacional nightclub.
217
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,216
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
218
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,221
It was Cuban-themed,
so my uniform
219
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,803
was camouflage short-shorts
and a wife-beater.
220
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:08,347
The promoter would go over
221
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,273
which record producer
was sitting where,
222
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,851
which hot designers,
which Lakers,
223
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,811
and Borislava
the Bulgarian billionaire,
224
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:16,446
who didn't drink,
but he ran a $100,000 bar tab.
225
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:18,398
My job was to get people
226
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:20,109
to spend more money
than they needed to.
227
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,444
Can we get a bottle of Skyy?
228
00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:23,495
You guys look like
you deserve Grey Goose.
229
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,698
What do guys who deserve
Grey Goose look like?
230
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,249
To begin with,
they've got a bottle
231
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:28,496
of Grey Goose
in front of them.
232
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,168
You're quick. Very clever.
233
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,084
All right, yeah.
Grey Goose.
234
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:34,710
They just spent
an additional $300,
235
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,713
bringing their total to $900,
236
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:39,466
for $8.50 worth of vodka.
237
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,179
But the club doesn't need you
to buy a bottle.
238
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,014
They need you
to buy five bottles.
239
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:44,558
So these girls over here,
240
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,260
they let you buy them
shots for a living.
241
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,811
It would be like
waiting in a long line
242
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:48,887
to get into the Gap,
243
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,099
so you can pay
a 1,000% markup
244
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:53,400
to buy all the employees
a pair of pants.
245
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,562
I only had one shift a week.
246
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:57,772
I didn't want
to tell my parents
247
00:10:57,866 --> 00:10:59,482
I was a cocktail waitress.
248
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:00,908
And back then,
I never turned down
249
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,405
an opportunity
to make more money.
250
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,703
So I found a second job
as an office assistant,
251
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,031
and that's how I ended up
working for Dean Keith.
252
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,539
Dean was a partner
in Black Hues Investments.
253
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,628
He was a regular at the club,
and one night he said...
254
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:15,422
People seem to take to you.
255
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,668
How would you like to get paid
to go to grad school
256
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,423
and get an MBA
in how life works?
257
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,300
What makes you think
you know and I don't?
258
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,257
I'm a regular here,
and you're a waitress here.
259
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:26,683
Look at the fuckin'
scoreboard.
260
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,304
MOLLY: Dean explained
what my job was by saying...
261
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:30,433
Me.
262
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,513
I'm your job.
263
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,270
MOLLY: I answered the phone,
made coffee runs,
264
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,192
set appointments,
made spreadsheets.
265
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:37,311
What is that?
266
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:38,395
MOLLY: And showed Dean
what a spreadsheet was.
267
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:39,479
Spreadsheet.
268
00:11:40,074 --> 00:11:42,817
But I made $450 a week
on top of the $300
269
00:11:42,911 --> 00:11:44,197
I was making at the club.
(PHONE RINGING)
270
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:46,279
Which would be enough
to get off my friend's couch.
271
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,660
I remember the day started
by being about bagels.
272
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:50,958
This is Molly...
DEAN: Get to the office.
273
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:52,034
Pick up bagels.
274
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,704
Do you mean now?
275
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,423
Dean was a Hollywood staple.
276
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,884
Over-leveraged. Going broke.
277
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:01,960
Trying to prove
he wasn't broke
278
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:05,014
and making a true effort
to be as vulgar as possible.
279
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:07,516
Honestly making an effort.
280
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:09,309
I hadn't told anyone
I was a skier,
281
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,057
and it was hard not to laugh
when Dean said...
282
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,597
Anyone ever teach you
how to fuckin' hurry?
283
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:13,931
No.
284
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,857
What are those?
Bagels.
285
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:18,440
Are these from Bluebell?
Yeah. It's on the way
286
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:19,645
from my house.
Seriously?
287
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:23,031
You might as well have stopped
at a fucking homeless shelter.
288
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:24,566
You might as well have walked
289
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:26,994
into a motherfucking
homeless shelter
290
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,491
and said,
"I'd like a dozen bagels
291
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,743
"from this homeless
shelter, please!"
292
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:34,952
I do not eat bagels from
Blue-fucking-bell, Molly,
293
00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:37,709
because these
are poor people bagels!
294
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,215
From where would you like
me to get your bagels?
295
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:41,382
Forget about
the fuckin' bagels.
296
00:12:41,511 --> 00:12:42,843
Done.
Except smarten up.
297
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,295
Got it.
Hang on.
298
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,594
MOLLY: Like I said, the day
started by being about bagels,
299
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:48,891
but that would
abruptly change.
300
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,139
My weekly poker game is
moving to the Cobra Lounge.
301
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:52,845
Tomorrow night, and
then every Tuesday night.
302
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,146
You'll help run it.
303
00:12:54,232 --> 00:12:55,723
Take these names
and numbers
304
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:56,807
and tell them to bring
ten grand in cash
305
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:58,267
for the first buy-in.
306
00:12:58,361 --> 00:13:00,193
The blinds are $50/$100.
307
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,480
And, Molly...
Yeah?
308
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,322
Don't fucking tell anybody.
309
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:12,864
MOLLY: I'd regarded Dean
310
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,951
as a nitwit
when I regarded him at all,
311
00:13:15,169 --> 00:13:16,626
but on that pad
were nine names,
312
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:18,750
along with phone numbers,
of some of the wealthiest
313
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,127
and most famous people
in the world.
314
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:24,255
I put the numbers in my phone
and composed a simple message.
315
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:25,628
There'd be a game
tomorrow night
316
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:26,712
at the Cobra Lounge,
317
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,672
there was a $10,000 buy-in.
318
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:30,173
(PHONE CHIMES)
319
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,639
All nine players confirmed
that they'd be there.
320
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:39,559
All within 90 seconds
of my sending the text.
321
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:41,818
The Cobra Lounge
sits on the edge
322
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:43,315
of the Sunset Strip,
323
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:44,738
and in its heyday was famous
324
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,190
for introducing
unknown bands
325
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,116
like The Doors
and The Beach Boys.
326
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,241
All I knew
was schoolwork and skiing.
327
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:53,325
I'd always figured
sophistication
328
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,203
would be easy to learn
if I ever needed it.
329
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:57,205
My cheese platter
had a sticker that read
330
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:59,787
"Cheese from the Great State
of Michigan."
331
00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:03,044
Diego, a professional dealer,
332
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,213
was setting up the table
when I got there.
333
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:08,262
I googled, "What type of music
334
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,096
"do poker players
like to listen to?"
335
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,515
And then tried to figure out
how to make a playlist
336
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,684
out of one
Kenny Rogers song.
337
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:15,348
I set up the bar,
338
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,350
put out my cheese platter,
339
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:19,648
and positioned myself
at the door
340
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:20,724
where I'd been instructed
341
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,104
to only let in the names
on the list.
342
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,235
I was wearing my best dress,
343
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:25,563
which I bought
two years earlier
344
00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:27,397
at JCPenney for $88.
345
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:29,866
The players started
to arrive.
346
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,444
I introduced myself as Molly,
Dean's assistant...
347
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,619
MAN: For you.
348
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:36,953
...asked if I could
get them a drink,
349
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,539
and took from each of them
$10,000 in cash.
350
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:47,634
Hi.
Hi.
351
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:49,127
I'm...
352
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:53,261
I know.
353
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:54,804
Your boss... (WHISPERING)
Everybody here?
354
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:56,972
Yeah.
Hey, buddy.
355
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,599
Fuck off, I'm going to own your shit.
356
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,940
Ugly dress. Ugly shoes.
357
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:03,733
Let's play!
358
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:09,277
MOLLY: Diego fanned nine cards
out on the table,
359
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,233
and the players
chose for seats.
360
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,411
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
361
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:28,501
I just finished counting
out $90,000 in cash.
362
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:31,132
I was in a room
with movie stars,
363
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:32,258
directors...
364
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:33,338
HOST:
And the award goes to...
365
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:34,514
MOLLY:...rappers,
366
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,262
boxers,
367
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:37,934
and business titans.
368
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,685
They were going all in,
all the time,
369
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,183
burning through their
buy-ins over and over.
370
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,442
Here you go. Good
luck. Thank you so much.
371
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:48,028
I don't know...
372
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:52,362
I googled every word I heard
that I didn't know.
373
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:53,613
Flop. River.
374
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:55,906
Fourth Street. Fourth
Street. Tilt. Cooler.
375
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:57,784
Boat. Nuts. MAN: He's pot-committed.
376
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,035
MOLLY: Playing the rush.
377
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:03,536
You keeping track
of the buy-ins?
378
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,586
Yeah.
Where? Where's the paper?
379
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:07,372
Spreadsheet.
380
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,090
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
381
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:19,509
All in.
382
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:23,559
MOLLY: The game ended
at 3:30,
383
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,686
and when it did, that's
when Dean shouted out...
384
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:29,269
Hey! Tip Molly if you want to
get invited back next week.
385
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,609
MOLLY: "Tip Molly."
386
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,150
Deep down, I didn't
like the sound of that.
387
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,075
Thank you so much.
388
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,619
Deep down, I knew that
when your boss says...
389
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,287
And, Molly...
Yeah?
390
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:40,489
Don't fucking
tell anybody.
391
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:41,699
That's usually
not the beginning
392
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,915
of a promising law career.
393
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:44,038
See you next week.
394
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:48,171
MOLLY: But that was
deep down.
395
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:51,045
I just made $3,000.
396
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:17,735
What are you reading?
397
00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:19,365
The Crucible.
398
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,242
For school?
399
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:22,576
My father assigned it.
400
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:28,416
Do you know how many witches
were burned in Salem?
401
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:30,622
How many?
None.
402
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,878
They didn't burn witches.
It's a myth. They hanged them.
403
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,422
Or drowned them,
404
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:36,174
or crushed them
with heavy rocks.
405
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,303
Wait. Aren't...
You're Molly Bloom, right?
406
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,509
Yeah.
407
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:43,593
You don't look the same
as in your photos.
408
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:45,888
None of us do.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
409
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:49,024
Molly?
Yes.
410
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:50,646
Charlie Jaffey.
411
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:52,394
Thank you again
for seeing me so early.
412
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:54,317
This is my daughter Stella. We met.
413
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,441
Isabel will be here in 45
minutes to take you to school.
414
00:17:57,535 --> 00:17:58,616
You finish your math?
Yeah.
415
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:00,235
Civ?
Yeah.
416
00:18:00,329 --> 00:18:01,319
Do you know it?
417
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:02,871
Could you teach it
in class today?
418
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,581
If I asked you to
teach me Roman law,
419
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:05,908
could you do it?
420
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,417
Yes.
421
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:08,789
Okay.
422
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:12,085
So, first
things first.
423
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:14,040
When was the last time
you slept? Today's Friday.
424
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,344
Tuesday morning at 5:00 a. m.
I was arrested by the FBI.
425
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,342
I spent Tuesday
in L. A. County Jail.
426
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,968
I was assessed to be
a minimal flight risk
427
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:22,594
and bail was set
at $100,000.
428
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,551
My mother signed over
her house.
429
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,726
I was released on Wednesday
430
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,395
and ordered to appear
in federal court
431
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:30,565
in New York's Southern
District 10:00 a. m. today.
432
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,271
In here.
433
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:34,228
Close that,
will you?
434
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,026
Flew here Wednesday and met
with five attorneys yesterday.
435
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,110
Have a seat.
436
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,196
You didn't hire
any of them?
437
00:18:44,749 --> 00:18:46,240
Three of them had
already been taken.
438
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:48,451
Yeah, 31 people were
named in your indictment.
439
00:18:48,544 --> 00:18:49,660
It's Black Friday
for criminal lawyers.
440
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:50,744
What about the other two?
441
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:51,999
One told me money was
442
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,330
his second favorite form
of payment.
443
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:54,918
I know him.
The fifth was also taken,
444
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:56,250
but he recommended
I call you.
445
00:18:57,053 --> 00:18:58,169
Why? I told him I wanted someone
446
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,719
who'd worked in
the prosecutor's office
447
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,046
and wasn't even
a little bit shady.
448
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,471
Do you know about me?
449
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,557
I've been briefed a little
by my daughter,
450
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,139
who knows a lot
about your story
451
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:11,481
because her mother's
a moron.
452
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,648
Her mother reads
the tabloids?
453
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,647
Yeah. And I read them too.
454
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:16,603
I read your indictment after
I got your call last night,
455
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:18,401
and I bought your book.
456
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,865
I'm only on page 112,
but, Molly,
457
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,817
did you commit a felony, and
then write a book about it?
458
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:24,369
I haven't run a game
in over two years.
459
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,491
Not to spoil the ending,
but that's when
460
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,664
the government raided my game
and took all of my money,
461
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:30,751
assuming all of it was made
illegally, which it wasn't.
462
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,289
I've been living
in my mother's house
463
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:33,837
in Telluride,
464
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:35,000
and I wrote the book
465
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:36,252
so I could start
paying off debts.
466
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:38,508
I just finished the
press tour for the book,
467
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:39,672
and I moved back
to Los Angeles
468
00:19:39,762 --> 00:19:40,798
so I could start over.
469
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:42,420
Hmm.
470
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:45,049
You ran games in L. A.
for roughly eight years?
471
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:46,474
Yeah.
Without taking a rake?
472
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,550
Right.
473
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,352
Then you ran games in New York
for roughly two?
474
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:51,388
I took a rake
the last six months.
475
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:55,226
In the first 112 pages
you name a bunch of names.
476
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:57,268
Sorry?
477
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,695
You named the names
of some movie stars
478
00:19:58,823 --> 00:19:59,813
that played in your game.
479
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:01,864
Yeah.
480
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:04,784
That not against
some sort of poker code?
481
00:20:06,831 --> 00:20:08,117
Am I supposed to be sitting
all the way over here?
482
00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:10,241
Can you hear me from there? Yeah.
483
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:13,293
Are you taking me
on as a client?
484
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,245
My retainer is $250,000.
485
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,626
Do you have $250,000?
486
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:20,334
No. I don't have anything.
487
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:23,219
What about the sales
from your book?
488
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:25,547
The book isn't jumping off
the shelves.
489
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,507
But I will find a way
to pay you, Charlie.
490
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:28,637
Ask around about me.
491
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:29,801
(CHUCKLES)
492
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:31,603
Unfortunately,
the people I'd ask
493
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:32,770
are going away for a while.
494
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:34,773
What happened
on Tuesday morning
495
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,475
was called a GPS takedown.
496
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,686
Thirty-one people were
arrested in the same instant.
497
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:42,068
Something in excess 600 agents
were dispatched to locations
498
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:44,024
in New York and L. A.
in coordinated strikes
499
00:20:44,118 --> 00:20:45,404
with automatic weapons,
500
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:47,656
and you're trying to tell
me you're in my office
501
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,659
because you raked a game
of Texas Hold 'Em?
502
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:50,871
Yes.
Have you seen
503
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:52,415
the other names
in your indictment?
504
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,208
"Nicholas Kozlowski.
Peter Druzhinsky.
505
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,412
"Peter Antonovich.
The Gershen Brothers."
506
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:57,541
I mean, come on, Molly,
507
00:20:57,631 --> 00:20:58,997
just how deep into
the Russian mob were you?
508
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,340
Because your book doesn't say.
509
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:03,877
(EXHALES)
510
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,188
Why are you making your
daughter read The Crucible?
511
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,770
So she can see
what happens to a group
512
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,400
of bored teenage girls
when they gossip.
513
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,568
I've never read the play.
514
00:21:24,658 --> 00:21:26,570
Many consider it to be the
best play of the 20th century.
515
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:28,193
Is that what many
consider it to be?
516
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,404
I don't defend
violent criminals.
517
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:31,579
I've never hurt anyone
in my life.
518
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:32,997
Your friends have.
I've never heard
519
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,949
of 90% of the names
on the indictment.
520
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:36,501
And the other 10%?
I didn't know they were
521
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:37,703
connected. I had no idea
who they really were.
522
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,413
Let me ask a question.
523
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:42,375
The character in the book
you call "Dean Keith,"
524
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,710
he didn't say
"poor people bagels," did he?
525
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,545
I think I know
who he is.
526
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:47,846
I think I know
a real estate lawyer
527
00:21:47,932 --> 00:21:49,013
that worked
with him and quit.
528
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,762
He said "nigger bagels,"
right?
529
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:58,973
I'm not telling you
his real name.
530
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:00,104
He's not involved in this.
531
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:02,060
But you were willing to
name some names.
532
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,031
Why is the FBI
arresting me
533
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,611
two years after
I stopped running games?
534
00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:13,492
Were you paid extra
in your book deal
535
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:15,039
to name the movie stars?
536
00:22:18,712 --> 00:22:20,294
I'm not your guy, Molly.
537
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,378
I wish you good luck, but
this just isn't for me.
538
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:35,677
I didn't know
who the Russians were.
539
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:38,934
I can get you
the $250,000.
540
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,390
I left 10 times that
on the street.
541
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,770
It'll just take some time.
542
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,352
We regularly lend out
our best litigators
543
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,061
like me to the ACLU,
544
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,359
Southern Poverty Law Center,
veterans groups,
545
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:49,736
but I don't think
I can convince my partners
546
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:51,739
to take a flyer
on the Poker Princess.
547
00:22:51,829 --> 00:22:53,741
I didn't name myself
the Poker Princess.
548
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:54,954
"Molly Bloom,
549
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,702
"the self-proclaimed
Poker Princess..."
550
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,033
Is that Us Weekly?
551
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:00,126
I would agree
it would be unusual for them
552
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:01,703
to print something
that wasn't true,
553
00:23:01,797 --> 00:23:02,787
but it's not true.
554
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,589
And if you think a princess
can do what I did,
555
00:23:04,675 --> 00:23:05,665
you're incorrect.
556
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,542
I'm getting you don't think much of me,
557
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:09,423
but what if every one
of your ill-informed,
558
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,345
unsophisticated opinions
about me were wrong?
559
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:12,548
I'd be amazed.
560
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:13,802
Yeah, you know what, bud,
you would.
561
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,350
You don't need me,
you need a publicist.
562
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:17,018
No, I need
a fucking lawyer!
563
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:25,605
You didn't answer
my question.
564
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:28,354
(SNIFFLES)
565
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,107
When was the last time
you slept?
566
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,406
It was a while ago.
567
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:38,452
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
568
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,203
All right.
569
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:46,915
I'm going to walk you through
the arraignment this morning
570
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:48,466
'cause you shouldn't
do that alone.
571
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:49,877
I'm going to put
some bodies on you
572
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,211
and walk you through
the side door
573
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:53,384
because I don't know what
you've got on the Russians,
574
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:54,510
but neither do they,
575
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,387
and the Russians
take care of shit.
576
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,142
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
577
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:01,975
Yes.
578
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:10,196
Almost. You got to
keep your eyes up,
579
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:11,823
always got to look ahead.
580
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:14,276
If you look down, that's
where you're gonna go.
581
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,493
If you look down,
that's where you'll go.
582
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:21,161
Ready?
Yeah.
583
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:22,241
All right.
584
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,421
Let's go.
585
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,168
MOLLY: My father is
a therapist
586
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:30,170
and a psychology professor
at Colorado State.
587
00:24:30,386 --> 00:24:31,843
No! No!
588
00:24:31,929 --> 00:24:34,342
The second rule of his house
was that academic excellence
589
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,514
and athletic excellence
weren't optional.
590
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,637
You can't be
afraid of it. All right?
591
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:40,138
Don't play defense.
592
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:42,471
And the first rule was that
he made all the rules.
593
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:43,680
Again.
594
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:45,356
Dad! I'm pretty tired.
595
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:47,104
Hon, she's tired.
596
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:48,935
We've been out here
since 6:00.
597
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,278
Her lips are blue.
598
00:24:51,949 --> 00:24:53,565
You're tired?
Yeah.
599
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:58,153
What's another word
for "tired"?
600
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:03,158
Name a synonym for tired,
and we'll get in the car.
601
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:05,284
Weak.
602
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:06,878
That's right.
603
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,542
Let's go home.
604
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:10,749
Again.
605
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:14,256
MOLLY: I decided to postpone
law school another year.
606
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,303
After six weeks of tips,
I went to Barneys
607
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:17,380
and asked for a dress
608
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,261
that made me look nothing
like myself.
609
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,762
I'd overheard stories
about games
610
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:22,264
that folded
after one bad night,
611
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,388
and I needed
this one to keep going,
612
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:25,892
and I needed to
bring value to it.
613
00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:27,019
Good night, Molly.
Thanks very much.
614
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:29,192
I knew if I wanted to
cement my place,
615
00:25:29,278 --> 00:25:30,894
there was one guy
I needed to team up with.
616
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:31,978
$10,000.
MAN: Fold.
617
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:33,188
MOLLY: And that was
this man.
618
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:36,362
The game had regulars,
and the game had guests.
619
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,489
And four of the regulars
were famous actors.
620
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,612
And I'm going to call one
of them PlayerX.
621
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:41,946
PLAYER X: I'm all in.
622
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,498
PlayerX subscribed
to the belief
623
00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:46,076
that money won was twice
as good as money earned.
624
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,503
He lived to beat people
and take their money.
625
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,296
Here's PlayerX
talking one of the guests
626
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:51,589
into folding
the winning hand.
627
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:53,041
I swear... Look at me.
628
00:25:54,094 --> 00:25:56,086
I swear on my mother's life, I have you.
629
00:25:59,433 --> 00:26:01,345
MOLLY: PlayerX was
the best player at the table.
630
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:03,927
And tonight,
this guy was the worst.
631
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:07,437
(CHUCKLES)
632
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:09,269
He's staring at his cards.
633
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,021
Even a reasonably
good amateur would know
634
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:13,190
it was mathematically
the best hand,
635
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,021
which in poker is called
"the nuts."
636
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,236
There was $47,000
in the pot,
637
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:18,824
and the guest was holding
the nuts.
638
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:20,363
But he was starting
to get confused
639
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:21,737
because a movie star
was talking to him.
640
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,662
My mother's life, man.
I'm not messing with you.
641
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:24,785
Why would you
be telling me?
642
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,413
Either I am messing with you,
or you're new to the game,
643
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:28,664
you've had bad cards
all night,
644
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:30,290
you should've folded
after the flop,
645
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:31,996
and I don't want to win
more of your money this way.
646
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:33,589
I've got queens under here.
647
00:26:34,551 --> 00:26:35,667
Take your time.
648
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,480
Fold.
649
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:51,808
Fuck you.
No!
650
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,151
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
651
00:27:00,661 --> 00:27:03,153
MOLLY: A fish is a
particular kind of player.
652
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:04,746
A fish has money.
653
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:07,415
A fish plays loose
and doesn't fold a lot.
654
00:27:07,501 --> 00:27:10,494
A fish is good,
but not too good.
655
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:11,790
There's an ATM
in the hall, bro.
656
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,997
The Cobra Lounge may have
belonged to Dean Keith,
657
00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:15,878
but the game belonged
to PlayerX.
658
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,584
People wanted to say
they played with him.
659
00:27:17,678 --> 00:27:18,794
The same way
they wanted to say
660
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,719
they rode on Air Force One.
661
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:22,214
My job security
was gonna depend on
662
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:23,764
bringing him his fish.
663
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:25,679
But where would I find people
with a lot of money
664
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:26,927
who didn't know
how to spend it
665
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:28,636
and liked to be
around celebrities?
666
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:30,229
If they say
they're interested in poker,
667
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,396
you give them
my number.
668
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,519
I vet them.
669
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:34,396
If they end up playing
in a game,
670
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,899
I'll give you $1,000
the first time they play,
671
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,855
$500 every time
after that.
672
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:40,440
Be sure to mention
673
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:41,695
that these guys are
all regulars.
674
00:27:42,077 --> 00:27:44,569
Is this true?
These guys play?
675
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:49,700
MOLLY: The Commerce Casino is
off the 5 freeway in East L. A.,
676
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:52,376
and no one's ever going to
confuse it with Monte Carlo.
677
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,374
I'd watch the tables
for a while
678
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,421
before I approached
a friendly-looking pit boss.
679
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:58,633
Third chair at Table 8
can't lose.
680
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,506
Unless there are players
at his table who can win.
681
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,676
You know about the game
at the Cobra Lounge, right?
682
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,174
Sure.
683
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,430
$1,000 for every player
you send me.
684
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:09,769
You get a piece
of what they lose.
685
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:11,725
No pros.

00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:12,805
I'm Molly.
687
00:28:14,193 --> 00:28:16,355
Poker was my Trojan horse
into the highest level
688
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:20,321
of finance, technology,

The art world is controlled
by a few major dealers.
691
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,076
China's telecom
companies want
692
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:26,152
to partner
with other providers.
693
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:27,782
The owners don't mind
spending $30 million
694
00:28:27,873 --> 00:28:30,411
on an outfielder hits.320
with 110 RBI.
695
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,828
They alone control
the market.
696
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,077
They choose the artists
they want to be important.
697
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:35,582
They mind spending
$10 million
698

who is 8-14 this season.

709
00:28:54,024 --> 00:28:55,435
what my goal was
at that point.
710
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:57,016
What was my endgame?
711
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:59,443
Back then I would have laughed
at that question.
712

I was raised to be a
champion. My goal was to win.

At what and against whom?
Those were just details.
714
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:06,988
I'm all in.
715
00:29:07,204 --> 00:29:08,240
I had my own apartment now...

00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:09,366
I'll take it.

and $17,000 in a shoebox.

one more year.

ask each defendant
724
00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:30,474
if they've read
the indictment,
725
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,426
or if they'd like the
court to read it to them.
726
00:29:32,521 --> 00:29:34,729
Then the judge is going
to ask how you plead.
727
00:29:34,815 --> 00:29:36,807
You're going to answer,
"Not guilty."
728
00:29:37,234 --> 00:29:38,395
I'll make it clear
for the record
729
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:39,475
that I'm not
your counsel,
730
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,526
but I'm appearing on your
behalf at the arraignment.

Yeah.
734
00:29:46,243 --> 00:29:48,360
No, I'm saying it
means "on your behalf."

I am appearing
on your behalf.
736
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:51,204
In propria persona
means that
737
00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:53,498
you're appearing on your
behalf, not my behalf.
738
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:56,158
I'll check that out,

but the point is,
I'm not your lawyer,
740
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:00,379
and I'll make that clear
for the record.

why you'd say that.

in school today.

LARRY: Is this Mrs. Linwood?
MOLLY: Yep.
865
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:15,778
Did she happen to
mention anything

about his work
on the unconscious mind?
867
00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:19,194
His dream analysis
868
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:20,946
has the credibility
of a horoscope,
869
00:35:21,036 --> 00:35:22,368
but what got
my attention was that
870
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,662
he opposed the women's
emancipation movement.
871
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,159
He believed that
a woman's life
872
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:27,657
is about her
reproductive functions.
873
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:29,033

the nuts and bolts

of why middle-class
suburban white girls

have been oppressed
for centuries?

from the game,

So, the debt service
on your loans
951

is close to 20%,
which is crazy.
952
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:21,081
20% is barely survivable
if it's a bridge loan, but,

like, for instance,
it's taken you 10 years

to build seven houses,

all of which are worth
less than they were
956
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,171
before you built them,
because the housing market

about $450 a week?

on a shuffle master

in the table.

more reliable shuffles.

were in the humidor.

00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:26,728
Fellas, can I have your
attention for a moment?
1035

(MUSIC STOPS)
1036
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:34,656
Where's Dean?
1037
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:37,860
I'll be hosting a game
in this suite
1038
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:39,282
every Tuesday night.
1039
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:40,908
If you play tonight,
1040
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:42,535
you'll be guaranteed
a chair for a year.
1041
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:45,038
If you'd prefer to play
at the Cobra Lounge,
1042
00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:47,244
there'll be
no hard feelings.
1043
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:55,006
Let's play.
1044
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,337
MOLLY: The game was mine now.
1045
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:59,424
I incorporated, and Molly
Bloom Event Planning was born.
1046
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,976
I paid taxes
and 1099'd my employees.
1047
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:04,178
I never became romantically
1048
00:42:04,272 --> 00:42:06,434
or sexually involved
with any of the players.
1049
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:07,731
The game would have
fallen apart.
1050
00:42:08,317 --> 00:42:11,025
This was back when I was
still making good decisions.
1051
00:42:11,112 --> 00:42:12,853
And I went to a lawyer
to make absolutely sure
1052
00:42:12,947 --> 00:42:14,358
all this was legal.
1053
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:16,072
LOUIS: Are you taking a rake?
MOLLY: No.
1054
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:17,491
Then you're not
breaking the law.
1055
00:42:17,577 --> 00:42:19,034
But can I give you
some advice?
1056
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,110
Please.
1057
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:21,194
There's a saying
in my business.
1058
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,497
"Don't break the law when
you're breaking the law."
1059
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:26,371
What do you mean? No
drugs. No prostitutes.
1060
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:27,997
No muscle
to collect debts.
1061
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:29,544
I don't do anything
like that,
1062
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,462
but you just said
I wasn't breaking the law.
1063
00:42:31,549 --> 00:42:32,665
You want to keep it
that way
1064
00:42:32,759 --> 00:42:33,840
because you don't want to
break the law
1065
00:42:33,926 --> 00:42:35,087
when you're breaking
the law.
1066
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:37,048
Am I breaking the law?
1067
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:38,795
Not really.
1068
00:42:39,098 --> 00:42:41,010
We're able to find out
for sure, aren't we?
1069
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,341
Laws are written down.
1070
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:43,971
You're not taking
a percentage of the pot?
1071
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:45,052
No.
1072
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:46,853
You're running
a square game.
1073
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:49,769
MOLLY: My game had
a tricky ecosystem.
1074
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:51,483
These guys
could buy anything.
1075
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:54,854
But here, in this room,
you couldn't buy your win.
1076
00:42:54,989 --> 00:42:57,402
You couldn't buy me.
You couldn't buy the girls.
1077
00:42:57,492 --> 00:42:59,609
And you couldn't buy
a seat at the table.
1078
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:02,365
There's nothing as sweet as
a win you have to work for.
1079
00:43:02,455 --> 00:43:04,492
And the wins and losses
were compelling,
1080
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,039
and they were real.
1081
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:07,161
Of course, it helped that
1082
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:08,287
the players were
gambling addicts.
1083
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:09,788
Can I see you
for a second?
1084
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,251
Jay, you're famous.
1085
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,927
You are an
international rock star.
1086
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:21,221
Oh, I wasn't sure
you'd noticed.
1087
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:23,052
You can't send emails
like that.
1088
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:25,176
Well, it's not
a federal production, okay?
1089
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:27,886
I just invited you to Cabo
for the weekend.
1090
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:30,393
The next woman you send
an email like that to,
1091
00:43:30,483 --> 00:43:33,100
it's not going to be me.
It's going to be someone else.
1092
00:43:33,194 --> 00:43:34,230
You're playing with fire.
1093
00:43:34,362 --> 00:43:36,604
I'm telling you that
I'm in love with you,
1094
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:38,571
and you are worried
about me getting blackmailed?
1095
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:40,782
Oh, my... That just makes me
more into you.

1097
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:43,569
They won't need to
blackmail you,
1098
00:43:43,663 --> 00:43:45,950
they can get just as much
money from TMZ.
1099
00:43:46,082 --> 00:43:48,119
And TMZ will give them
what they really want.
1100
00:43:48,209 --> 00:43:49,199
Tell me the truth.
1101
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,000
Was mine the first love letter
you've gotten from a player?
1102
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:53,625
It was the seventh.
All digitally transmitted.
1103
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,125
You are begging
for your life
1104
00:43:55,216 --> 00:43:57,799
to be turned into
a very public hell.
1105
00:43:57,885 --> 00:43:58,966
So, that's a "no"
on Cabo?
1106
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:00,760
Why don't you give your wife
and kids a break
1107
00:44:00,847 --> 00:44:02,509
and run 'em over
with a limo?
1108
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:03,884
I love the way
that you talk to me.
1109

Yeah?
1112
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:13,891
Raise the stakes.
1113
00:44:16,737 --> 00:44:17,727
To what?
1114
00:44:19,365 --> 00:44:21,277
50K buy-in.
Blinds are 250/500.
1115
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:27,279
That's a 500% hike.
Yeah.
1116
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,077
I don't think
it's a good idea.
1117
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:31,245
Could you guys give me
the room for a second?
1118
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:34,954
Sure.

"Find new fish."

I went recruiting again.
1131

First up
was Donnie Silverman.

Donnie won the World Series
of Poker last year
1133
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:04,691
and got in touch with me
through one of the players.

Are you fucking nuts?
1135

Donnie Silverman won the
World Series of Poker.

You can watch it online.
1137
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:12,541
He took 11 hands
at the final table,
1138
00:45:12,627 --> 00:45:14,835
but he had the nuts
on eight of them.
1139

Three of those...
1140
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:18,212
Three were two outers

00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:19,710
with four players
still in the hand.
1142
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,790
He ran hot.
1143
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:22,296
He doesn't lock
his chips down,
1144
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,173
he's reckless,
he gives tons of action,
1145

$12 million.

was Brad Marion.

Who everyone called
"Bad Brad,"
1153

because he was uniquely
terrible at this game.

If there was a worse player
in the world,
1155
00:45:51,874 --> 00:45:53,911
Brad would still find a way
to lose to him.

but you're welcome to a drink.

to introduce you to Brad.

I just wanted to introduce
you to Brad Marion.
1161
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,709
He wants to play.
1162
00:46:04,804 --> 00:46:05,885

vouch for him.

MOLLY: "Derek's going
to vouch for him"
1165
00:46:08,557 --> 00:46:11,470
meant Derek would cover any
losses if Brad didn't pay.
1166
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,222
Up to any amount.
Yeah.

Nice to meet you.
You too.

MOLLY: But he could pay,
and had to,
1170
00:46:21,362 --> 00:46:22,694
because he embraced
the fallacy
1171
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:24,112
of being pot-committed.
1172
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,447

through to the end.

Bad Brad had raised
$700 million
1176

for a fund
that traded oil futures,
1177
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:37,417
and every week
he came to the game,
1178
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:39,711
lost $100,000,
and tipped me $5,000

so he could play
the next week.
1180
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:43,832
He wasn't getting
any better.

00:47:35,644 --> 00:47:37,135
He was getting customers.
1205
00:47:37,229 --> 00:47:38,845
He'd drop
his $100K at the game
1206
00:47:38,939 --> 00:47:40,680
and pick up $4 million
for his hedge fund.
1207
00:47:40,775 --> 00:47:41,765
DEREK: Tell 'em
what's smart this week.
1208
00:47:41,859 --> 00:47:42,849
Not me.
1209
00:47:42,943 --> 00:47:45,606
MOLLY: More on that later,
but first, Harlan Eustice.
1210
00:47:46,113 --> 00:47:48,571
PlayerX said he met Harlan
at the Commerce Casino
1211
00:47:48,657 --> 00:47:50,068
and that he'd be good
for the game,
1212
00:47:50,159 --> 00:47:52,025
but I wasn't seeing
what he was seeing.
1213
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,280
He played tight,
1214
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:55,988
folding after the hole card
64% of the time.
1215
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:58,495
It wasn't clear where
his money came from.
1216
00:47:58,584 --> 00:47:59,700
He produced
backyard wrestling videos
1217
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:01,747
and other
low-rent productions.
1218
00:48:02,296 --> 00:48:03,377
But worst of all,
1219
00:48:03,464 --> 00:48:06,002
Harlan Eustice
was a good card player.
1220
00:48:06,092 --> 00:48:07,333
Why would PlayerX
want someone
1221
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:08,758
at the game
who could beat him?
1222
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:11,006
I'd learn the answer
to that one the hard way.
1223
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,676
How was your flight?
MOLLY: Just fine.
1224
00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:16,512
How are you paying for tickets
between L. A. and New York?
1225
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,468
I had two million points
left on my Amex.
1226
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:19,848
They took the card, but
let me keep the points,
1227
00:48:19,939 --> 00:48:20,929
which I thought
was nice of them.
1228
00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:22,013
You had meetings.
1229
00:48:22,608 --> 00:48:23,598
Hmm?
1230
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:25,691
You had meetings in L. A.
about your book and life rights.
1231
00:48:25,778 --> 00:48:27,314
I did. Was there any interest?
1232
00:48:27,405 --> 00:48:29,192
A company that owns
4,000 video poker machines
1233
00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:30,362
wants to put
my face on 'em.
1234
00:48:31,075 --> 00:48:32,065
Anything else?
1235
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:34,451
Treat magazine made
a generous offer.
1236
00:48:34,578 --> 00:48:35,568
Treat?
1237
00:48:35,663 --> 00:48:36,779
It's a new magazine for
1238
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,030
the high-end
photography enthusiast.
1239
00:48:38,124 --> 00:48:40,161
They want you to pose naked.
I'd be the April Treat.
1240
00:48:40,334 --> 00:48:41,575
I meant interest
in your book.
1241
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:43,284
Uh, yeah.
1242
00:48:43,671 --> 00:48:44,661
Any offers?
1243
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,331
A few, I guess. Couple.
1244
00:48:49,301 --> 00:48:50,417
Five.
Really?
1245
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:52,002
Yeah.
And?
1246
00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:53,177
I passed.
1247
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:55,005
You're destitute, and
you passed on five offers
1248
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:56,180
to turn your book
into a movie?
1249
00:48:56,267 --> 00:48:57,257
You will be paid, Charlie.
1250
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:58,512
I'm just curious
as to why you passed
1251
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,639
on what would appear to be
the only way out you have.
1252
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:03,104
Creative differences.
Okay.
1253
00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:04,226
Shall we start?
1254
00:49:04,316 --> 00:49:06,228
You know, I am gonna figure you out.
1255
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,775
Well, let me know
what you find.
1256
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:08,898
You see this?
1257
00:49:08,988 --> 00:49:10,900
This is discovery.
1258
00:49:10,990 --> 00:49:12,652
Let's see what
we discovered.
1259
00:49:13,617 --> 00:49:15,779
Over here
we have Peter Druzhinsky,
1260
00:49:16,287 --> 00:49:17,368
Peter Antonovich,
1261
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:19,617
and Peter Slobo.
The three Petes.
1262
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,531
Now, the three Petes run
a chain
1263
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:22,706
of corrupt
medical clinics
1264
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:24,785
and have been committing
insurance fraud,
1265
00:49:25,212 --> 00:49:27,920
wire fraud, and mail fraud
on an epic scale.
1266
00:49:28,007 --> 00:49:29,248
Now, over here we have
1267
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:31,879
the Ragnyada-Gershen
Organization.
1268
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,552
They're a worldwide
bookmaking operation
1269
00:49:34,638 --> 00:49:37,005
handling hundreds of
millions of dollars a year
1270
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:38,840
in illegal sports betting.
1271
00:49:38,934 --> 00:49:40,095
And over here we have
1272
00:49:40,186 --> 00:49:41,722
the Alexander-Habib
Organization.
1273
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,188
This is also an illegal
sports betting organization,
1274
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:48,267
but this one,
financed by an art gallery
1275
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,569
owned by Shillel Habib,
who everyone calls...
1276
00:49:51,655 --> 00:49:52,645
Shelly.
1277
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:59,069
This is the Russian Mafia.
1278
00:49:59,163 --> 00:50:00,904
And the three
are tied together
1279
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:02,660
in the indictment
through
1280
00:50:04,210 --> 00:50:05,200
a poker game.
1281
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:08,245
Were they tapping my phones? No.
1282
00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:09,370
Thank God.
1283
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:11,544
They were tapping the phones
of everyone you talked to.
1284
00:50:11,926 --> 00:50:12,916
Okay.
1285
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:15,002
They've got you confirming
that you ran raked games
1286
00:50:15,095 --> 00:50:16,085
at the Plaza Hotel
1287
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:17,261
and various locations
in New York.
1288
00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:19,764
They've also got
a confidential informant
1289
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:21,637
confirming that
you ran raked games
1290
00:50:21,727 --> 00:50:22,717
at the Plaza Hotel
1291
00:50:22,811 --> 00:50:24,177
and various locations
in New York.
1292
00:50:24,313 --> 00:50:26,805
You were
in violation of 1955,
1293
00:50:26,899 --> 00:50:28,140
which is a part
of the U. S. Code
1294
00:50:28,234 --> 00:50:29,270
that makes it illegal
1295
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,226
to run an illegal
gambling business.
1296
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,686
You know what
you did?
1297
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:34,737
You finished writing a book
before the good part happened.
1298
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:36,773
You really get a kick
out of yourself, don't you?
1299
00:50:37,660 --> 00:50:39,572
You know,
I don't like this picture.
1300
00:50:39,703 --> 00:50:40,864
Thank you.
1301
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:42,071
You look like the cat
that ate the canary,
1302
00:50:42,164 --> 00:50:43,371
and then told the canary's
parents about it.
1303
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:44,910
It's the picture
the publisher wanted.
1304
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,081
And I didn't get a vote.
1305
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:47,579
I liked the book.
A good story, well told.
1306
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:48,660
Thank you.
1307
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:50,165
I need you to
tell it again though,
1308
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:51,287
from the beginning,
and this time
1309
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:52,998
without skipping over
the Russians.
1310
00:50:53,259 --> 00:50:54,249
Would you like
a glass of water?
1311
00:50:54,385 --> 00:50:55,546
I'd like a glass of
bourbon. (CHARLIE CHUCKLES)
1312
00:50:56,512 --> 00:50:57,628
(SIGHS)
1313
00:50:59,014 --> 00:51:00,676
One more thing.
Yeah?
1314
00:51:01,267 --> 00:51:02,348
I need your hard drives.
1315
00:51:02,434 --> 00:51:04,016
Going back how far?
What do you mean?
1316
00:51:04,311 --> 00:51:06,098
Well, I kept my hard drives
when I'd buy a new laptop.
1317
00:51:06,855 --> 00:51:07,845
You're kidding.
No.
1318
00:51:07,940 --> 00:51:09,056
It had a record
of who owed what
1319
00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:10,185
and spreadsheets
on the players.
1320
00:51:10,276 --> 00:51:11,392
It has more
than that.
1321
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:12,771
Every time you charge
your phone
1322
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:14,397
by plugging it
into the computer,
1323
00:51:14,488 --> 00:51:15,899
the computer takes a record
1324
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:17,697
of all your text messages
and emails.
1325
00:51:17,783 --> 00:51:19,490
My laptop has a record
of all text messages
1326
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:21,034
and emails
received years ago
1327
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:23,328
on phones that have been
smashed with an aluminum bat?
1328
00:51:23,414 --> 00:51:26,327
I wanna run a forensic
imaging on your hard drives.
1329
00:51:26,667 --> 00:51:27,703
Oh, no, thanks anyway,
1330
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:28,954
but I'll be destroying
those hard drives.
1331
00:51:29,044 --> 00:51:30,080
You can't do that,
they're evidence.
1332
00:51:30,296 --> 00:51:31,286
Well, I'm going to
blow them up.
1333
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:32,370
I'm literally going to
use explosives
1334
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:33,830
and scatter the remains
in the sea.
1335
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,131
Except you told me
they exist.
1336
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:36,298
You're gonna have to pretend
I didn't tell you.
1337
00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:37,375
Can't do that.
Yes, you can.
1338
00:51:37,469 --> 00:51:38,676
You were the one
who wanted a lawyer
1339
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:39,923
that wasn't even
a little bit shady.
1340
00:51:40,014 --> 00:51:41,004
New information
has come to light,
1341
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,088
and I now see that,
that was stupid.
1342
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:43,172
Molly.
There are no hard drives.
1343
00:51:43,267 --> 00:51:44,929
If you destroy evidence
and obstruct justice
1344
00:51:45,019 --> 00:51:46,055
on top of the charges
1345
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:47,852
already brought against you
in this case,
1346
00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:49,725
you will be,
I promise, incarcerated.
1347
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:52,227
You don't understand what's
in those text messages.
1348
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:53,684
I understand
you've had boyfriends,
1349
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:54,858
and there'll be
some exchanges
1350
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,356
that are a little bit embarrassing...
1351
00:51:56,447 --> 00:51:57,779
I don't care
about embarrassing
1352
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:58,981
text messages
from boyfriends
1353
00:51:59,074 --> 00:52:00,064
as there is not left
1354
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:02,025
the smallest corner
of my private life
1355
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,951
that isn't available
for public scrutiny.
1356
00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:05,904
There are messages
1357
00:52:05,998 --> 00:52:07,114
that would destroy
other lives.
1358
00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:09,450
There are messages
that would end careers
1359
00:52:09,585 --> 00:52:10,666
and obliterate families.
1360
00:52:10,794 --> 00:52:13,286
If those the text messages
were to be made public...
1361
00:52:13,464 --> 00:52:14,705
They won't be.
If they were...
1362
00:52:14,798 --> 00:52:15,788
They won't be.
1363
00:52:15,883 --> 00:52:16,999
It would be catastrophic
for many people.
1364
00:52:17,134 --> 00:52:18,375
I'm a lawyer. I'm legally... No.
1365
00:52:18,469 --> 00:52:20,051
Listen to me.
I'm legally prohibited
1366
00:52:20,179 --> 00:52:21,260
from disclosing
anything...
1367
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:22,970
Someone leaked
my last deposition
1368
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:24,673
to the National Enquirer,
Charlie.
1369
00:52:24,767 --> 00:52:25,757
Butterball?
1370
00:52:25,851 --> 00:52:27,137
My last lawyer's name
was Butterman,
1371
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:28,308
and he was
one of five people
1372
00:52:28,395 --> 00:52:29,761
in the room besides me.
1373
00:52:30,105 --> 00:52:31,846
But the information
in that deposition
1374
00:52:31,940 --> 00:52:34,102
would be nothing compared
to the consequences
1375
00:52:34,234 --> 00:52:36,521
of those text messages... Ah!
1376
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:37,810
I just got it.
1377
00:52:38,364 --> 00:52:39,445
...showing up
everywhere.
1378
00:52:39,531 --> 00:52:40,692
I couldn't figure out why
1379
00:52:40,783 --> 00:52:42,900
you named some people
but not others.
1380
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:44,825
I thought that
maybe some people paid you.
1381
00:52:44,912 --> 00:52:46,323
You were wrong.
But doesn't matter.
1382
00:52:46,497 --> 00:52:48,284
No, the only people
you named in that book
1383
00:52:48,374 --> 00:52:50,240
were the ones
that were already named
1384
00:52:50,376 --> 00:52:52,208
in the Bad Brad Marion
deposition.
1385
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:53,497
Which you think...
I know.
1386
00:52:53,587 --> 00:52:54,703
...somebody leaked it...
Sold it.
1387
00:52:54,797 --> 00:52:55,878
...to the tabloids.
Yes.
1388
00:52:55,964 --> 00:52:57,375
Maybe even Butterbean.
Butterman.
1389
00:52:57,466 --> 00:52:58,673
But I don't know
who it was.
1390
00:52:58,801 --> 00:53:00,508
I watched
Jenny McCarthy beat you up
1391
00:53:00,594 --> 00:53:01,630
for naming the players.
1392
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:02,710
Why didn't you just say,
1393
00:53:02,805 --> 00:53:04,262
"Hey, those names
are already public record."
1394
00:53:04,390 --> 00:53:06,803
I don't know. Because I wasn't
on The View under subpoena.
1395
00:53:06,892 --> 00:53:09,009
Can we please get back
to the emails and texts?
1396
00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:10,476
Is that why you have
creative differences
1397
00:53:10,562 --> 00:53:11,598
with the Hollywood offers?
1398
00:53:11,689 --> 00:53:14,147
Because they want information
you won't give them?
1399
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:15,269
I don't know you.
Hmm.
1400
00:53:15,359 --> 00:53:17,692
If what happened last time
were to happen this time,
1401
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:19,440
it would make
what happened last time...
1402
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,270
What is this for?
1403
00:53:21,365 --> 00:53:22,856
It's got every text message
and email
1404
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:24,236
I've sent in the last year
1405
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:26,534
as well as a variety
of incriminating evidence
1406
00:53:26,662 --> 00:53:27,823
about my clients.
1407
00:53:27,913 --> 00:53:29,370
Now if anything of yours
get leaked,
1408
00:53:29,498 --> 00:53:31,615
you can sell my phone
to the highest bidder,
1409
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,371
and I'll lose my job
and get disbarred.
1410
00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:35,710
So in order to demonstrate the sanctity
1411
00:53:35,796 --> 00:53:38,209
of your attorney-client
confidentiality,
1412
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:39,709
you're betraying
the confidentiality
1413
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,916
of all your
other clients?
1414
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:43,710
I know you're not
going to look at it.
1415
00:53:44,638 --> 00:53:45,719
How do you know?
1416
00:53:46,306 --> 00:53:47,296
I don't know.
1417
00:53:53,856 --> 00:53:54,937
I'll fly home
to Colorado
1418
00:53:55,983 --> 00:53:57,224
and be back the next day
with the hard drives.
1419
00:54:00,446 --> 00:54:01,982
MOLLY: Harlan Eustice
was excited about
1420
00:54:02,072 --> 00:54:03,608
the surprise
40th birthday party
1421
00:54:03,699 --> 00:54:06,066
he was throwing for
his wife in 24 hours.
1422
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:07,947
I rented out the whole
courtyard of The Buffalo Club.
1423
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:09,993
It'll be about
a hundred people.
1424
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,618
Kumamoto oysters,
snow crab, lobsters.
1425
00:54:12,750 --> 00:54:15,117
MOLLY: He wasn't ticking off
menu items to show off,
1426
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:16,997
he was genuinely excited
about the party
1427
00:54:17,087 --> 00:54:18,077
he was giving his wife.
1428
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,579
She doesn't know anything
about it.
1429
00:54:19,673 --> 00:54:22,086
She thinks we're having dinner
with her brother and his wife.
1430
00:54:22,217 --> 00:54:23,253
(MOLLY AND HARLAN CHUCKLING)
1431
00:54:23,343 --> 00:54:24,834
MOLLY: I liked Harlan.
1432
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:27,215
But nobody else liked him
except PlayerX.
1433
00:54:27,306 --> 00:54:30,470
He played tight, didn't
give a lot of action,
1434
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:32,300
and always got his money
in good,
1435
00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:34,306
which means
he was running the odds.
1436
00:54:34,396 --> 00:54:36,228
DIEGO: $5,000 to call.
No.
1437
00:54:36,315 --> 00:54:38,272
MOLLY: In other words,
he was playing poker,
1438
00:54:38,609 --> 00:54:39,816
and the others
were gambling.
1439
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:43,896
And he won.
1440
00:54:45,449 --> 00:54:47,156
By midnight,
Harlan had tripled
1441
00:54:47,242 --> 00:54:49,700
his original
$50,000 buy-in.
1442
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:52,408
But everything came off
the rails with one hand.
1443
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:55,832
And that's how it happens.
That's how you go full-tilt.
1444
00:54:56,418 --> 00:54:58,660
Harlan, the best player
at the table,
1445
00:54:58,754 --> 00:55:00,336
the best player
at most tables,
1446
00:55:00,714 --> 00:55:02,671
was about to get
bluffed off the win by,
1447
00:55:02,758 --> 00:55:05,751
of all people, Bad Brad.
1448
00:55:06,178 --> 00:55:07,259
How?
1449
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:09,804
Because Harlan had never
played with Brad before
1450
00:55:09,890 --> 00:55:12,928
and didn't know yet
that Brad was bad.
1451
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,768
Harlan's got a boat.
Nines full.
1452
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:17,970
Brad's got nothing.
1453
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:19,931
But his pre-flop betting
made it look,
1454
00:55:20,025 --> 00:55:22,017
entirely accidently,
1455
00:55:22,110 --> 00:55:23,692
like there was a chance
he had pocket kings.
1456
00:55:23,779 --> 00:55:24,895
HARLAN: $20,000.
1457
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:26,069
MOLLY: Which, if true,
1458
00:55:26,156 --> 00:55:27,738
would give him
the better full house.
1459
00:55:29,159 --> 00:55:30,570
Brad's counting off $20,000,
1460
00:55:30,661 --> 00:55:31,777
which means
he's going to call.
1461
00:55:31,912 --> 00:55:32,948
And Harlan knows that
1462
00:55:33,038 --> 00:55:34,870
if Brad is going to call
and not raise,
1463
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,455
it means
he didn't have the boat
1464
00:55:36,542 --> 00:55:37,828
and he's betting
a high two pair,
1465
00:55:37,918 --> 00:55:39,534
probably kings and queens.
1466
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:41,961
But then,
instead of calling the bet,
1467
00:55:42,047 --> 00:55:44,255
Brad pushes $72,000
into the pot.
1468
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:45,331
I'm all in.
1469
00:55:47,052 --> 00:55:48,918
Harlan looks at Brad.
1470
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:50,386
Every tell Harlan
knows about,
1471
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:53,306
carotid artery pumping,
stiff hands,
1472
00:55:53,392 --> 00:55:55,509
Brad's doing the opposite.
1473
00:55:55,602 --> 00:55:57,138
Brad's betting represented
a huge hand
1474
00:55:57,229 --> 00:55:58,345
by calling on the flop,
1475
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:00,851
check raising the turn,
and bombing the river.
1476
00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:02,807
Of course,
Harlan didn't know that
1477
00:56:02,901 --> 00:56:05,143
Brad didn't know
what any of that meant.
1478
00:56:05,362 --> 00:56:07,729
So Harlan,
always a good sport, said...
1479
00:56:07,823 --> 00:56:09,940
Nice bet.
I'm laying this down.
1480
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:12,195
As he tossed in
what he didn't realize
1481
00:56:12,286 --> 00:56:14,073
was the winning hand.
1482
00:56:14,162 --> 00:56:15,994
Brad tosses in
his cards too,
1483
00:56:16,081 --> 00:56:18,073
and one of them flips over,
and Harlan sees...
1484
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:19,744
You didn't have
pocket kings?
1485
00:56:21,336 --> 00:56:23,202
I didn't have any kings,
except the one in the middle.
1486
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:26,998
You had two pair?
I had one pair.
1487
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:28,966
The nines in the middle.
1488
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:31,006
(MEN EXCLAIMING AND LAUGHING)
1489
00:56:34,558 --> 00:56:36,220
PLAYER: Harlan,
what are you thinking, man!
1490
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:38,434
Thank you.
1491
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:43,056
MOLLY: It wasn't even that
it was that much money.
1492
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:45,813
Harlan only lost about
$40,000 on the hand.
1493
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:47,560
But a circuit breaker blew,
1494
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:49,611
and Harlan was
out for blood now.
1495
00:56:49,698 --> 00:56:51,155
Everyone's.
1496
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:54,196
You have $112,000
on the table.
1497
00:56:54,286 --> 00:56:55,743

another 50?
1498
00:56:55,913 --> 00:56:57,199

100, please.

Sign here for $100,000.
1500
00:57:02,753 --> 00:57:05,416
By 5:00 a. m., Harlan was down
half a million.
1501
00:57:05,547 --> 00:57:07,413
He'd abandoned everything
he knew about poker
1502
00:57:07,507 --> 00:57:08,998
and was playing
like a frat kid,
1503
00:57:09,092 --> 00:57:11,175
swinging for a home run
on every hand.
1504
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:15,053
Another 100, please.
1505
00:57:15,140 --> 00:57:17,757

Harlan was bleeding.

before work.

for months.

from Harlan Eustice.

Everybody knows it.
1522
00:57:59,518 --> 00:58:01,555
You're playing without
the weapons you need to win.
1523
00:58:02,521 --> 00:58:03,511
You're right.
1524
00:58:04,773 --> 00:58:06,230
All right, thank you.
1525
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:08,274

the second line

00:58:13,323 --> 00:58:14,859
of every gambler's obit.
1529
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:17,738
"Mr. Feldstein died while
trying to get back to even."
1530
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:19,694
Harlan never did.
1531
00:58:19,788 --> 00:58:22,030
And he never got
to his wife's birthday party.
1532
00:58:22,416 --> 00:58:24,578
She filed for divorce
two days later.
1533
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:26,667
But there was
one last punch coming
1534
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:29,120
that would put Harlan
on the floor for good.
1535
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:32,502
Harlan was heads up
against a guy
1536
00:58:32,592 --> 00:58:34,675
named Frederick
who was Austrian royalty.
1537
00:58:36,596 --> 00:58:37,632
Call.
1538
00:58:37,723 --> 00:58:39,385
Harlan had pocket queens.
1539
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:42,057
His Excellency
had ace-king.
1540
00:58:42,144 --> 00:58:44,887
They were both in
65K pre-flop.
1541
00:58:44,980 --> 00:58:46,642
Flop's queen-seven-seven.
1542
00:58:46,732 --> 00:58:48,018
Harlan has a full house again,
1543
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:49,391
queens full of sevens,
1544
00:58:49,484 --> 00:58:51,601
with three rounds
of betting in front of him.
1545
00:58:52,362 --> 00:58:54,399

00:58:57,909 --> 00:58:59,775
MOLLY:
And the Count goes all in.
1548
00:58:59,870 --> 00:59:00,951
He wants Harlan
to think
1549
00:59:01,038 --> 00:59:02,654
he's got two more sevens
under there.
1550
00:59:02,748 --> 00:59:04,205
Call.
"Nope," says Harlan.
1551
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:05,577
He's not falling
for this again,
1552
00:59:05,667 --> 00:59:07,499
and he snap-calls all in.
1553
00:59:07,586 --> 00:59:10,579
There's $750,000
on the table.
1554
00:59:11,631 --> 00:59:13,793
Diego burns a card
and deals a turn.
1555
00:59:15,093 --> 00:59:16,300
A king.
1556
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:18,799
Otto von Bismarck
now has two pair,
1557
00:59:18,889 --> 00:59:20,551
kings and sevens.
1558
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,223
But two pair is nothing
next to a full house,
1559
00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:24,391
and, at this point,
1560
00:59:24,478 --> 00:59:26,435
the only hand left that can
beat a queen full house
1561
00:59:28,857 --> 00:59:30,223
is a king full house.
1562
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:35,020
Captain von Trapp
bluffed two pair
1563
00:59:35,113 --> 00:59:37,480
and rivered
into kings full.
1564
00:59:38,533 --> 00:59:40,069
Motherfucker!
1565
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,150
(SCREAMS)
Motherfucker!
1566
00:59:41,328 --> 00:59:43,035
Fuck you,
you fucking mechanic!
1567
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,236
Hey!
1568
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,448
Fuck you, you bottom-dealing
party magician!
1569
00:59:46,541 --> 00:59:47,702
Hey, get out
onto the terrace.
1570
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:49,329
You've been pulling this shit
on me for two days!
1571
00:59:49,753 --> 00:59:51,119
Come on! Come on!
Party magician!
1572
00:59:53,507 --> 00:59:54,714
You good?
I'm okay, thanks.
1573
01:00:01,014 --> 01:00:02,221
MOLLY: What the hell?
1574
01:00:02,808 --> 01:00:04,800
I'll apologize to Diego.
1575
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:06,266
Yeah.
1576
01:00:06,353 --> 01:00:07,343
And you're going
to go home.
1577
01:00:07,437 --> 01:00:08,803
I'm making a floor call,
that's it.
1578
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:11,981
Did you hear me?
1579
01:00:13,151 --> 01:00:14,483
I don't have it.
1580
01:00:18,532 --> 01:00:19,693
A million two.
1581
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,067
I don't have it.
1582
01:00:25,747 --> 01:00:26,954
I'm sorry.
1583
01:00:31,044 --> 01:00:32,160
(SIGHS)
1584
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:35,956
Go home.
1585
01:00:38,426 --> 01:00:39,542
I'm very sorry.
1586
01:00:42,556 --> 01:00:44,513
You got to tell Sheila
the truth, okay?
1587
01:00:46,977 --> 01:00:48,934
Tell her the truth.
Tell her what happened.
1588
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:50,803
And I'm gonna
help you,
1589
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:52,013
I'm gonna get you
to a meeting.
1590
01:00:53,567 --> 01:00:54,978
We'll meet tomorrow
1591
01:00:55,068 --> 01:00:57,310
and figure out what
to do about the money.
1592
01:01:11,585 --> 01:01:13,372
Harlan and I didn't meet
the next day.
1593
01:01:13,461 --> 01:01:15,202
He just called me and said
everything was okay
1594
01:01:15,297 --> 01:01:16,333
and showed up
the next week
1595
01:01:16,423 --> 01:01:18,915
with a bank check
for $1,200,000.
1596
01:01:19,509 --> 01:01:20,590
Where'd he get the money from?
1597
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,837
I loaned it to him.
Loaned it?
1598
01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:25,922
I get 50% of his wins
until the debt's paid off,
1599
01:01:26,016 --> 01:01:28,349
and then 50% for the next
two years with no exposure.
1600
01:01:29,311 --> 01:01:32,554
You're getting 50% of the wins
and no exposure on the losses?
1601
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:34,513
Yeah.
First of all,
1602
01:01:34,649 --> 01:01:36,766
he'll never climb out of that.
That's sharecropper math.
1603
01:01:37,652 --> 01:01:40,395
It's also usury.
It's racketeering.
1604
01:01:40,655 --> 01:01:42,362
Second, you can't stake a player
1605
01:01:42,449 --> 01:01:43,781
and play in a game
at the same time.
1606
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:45,316
I've been doing it
for two years.
1607
01:01:46,786 --> 01:01:48,698
You've been staking Harlan? Yeah.
1608
01:01:50,165 --> 01:01:51,246
Jesus Christ.
1609
01:01:51,333 --> 01:01:52,869
It's not cheating.
1610
01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:54,287
It creates the opportunity
for it.
1611
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:55,413
Tell me how.
1612
01:01:55,503 --> 01:01:56,539
Are you kidding me?
Tell me how.
1613
01:01:56,630 --> 01:01:57,916
If you have interest in
another player winning...
1614
01:01:58,006 --> 01:01:59,087
You think
I'm going to take a dive?
1615
01:01:59,174 --> 01:02:00,460
And if I did,
who would care?
1616
01:02:00,842 --> 01:02:02,083
You fold your hole cards.
1617
01:02:02,177 --> 01:02:03,713
Five of clubs,
jack of hearts.
1618
01:02:03,803 --> 01:02:04,839
He's still in the game.
1619
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:07,217
It would benefit him to know
that the five of clubs...
1620
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:08,388
You think I'm signaling him?
1621
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:10,137
I'm saying it can't
fucking happen again.
1622
01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:19,267
You disapprove of me?
1623
01:02:20,654 --> 01:02:21,735
It's not personal.
1624
01:02:21,821 --> 01:02:22,937
It feels personal
when you chat up
1625
01:02:23,031 --> 01:02:24,647
every other guy at
the game except me.
1626
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:26,903
When you stay late for a
drink with J. T., but never...
1627
01:02:26,993 --> 01:02:28,404
Have you visited his Oscar?
1628
01:02:28,495 --> 01:02:29,736
I think it's bolted
on the hood of his car.
1629
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:33,202
It's noticeable when
you go out of your way
1630
01:02:33,291 --> 01:02:34,827
to demonstrate that
you have no interest in me.
1631
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:36,625
You did the same thing
to Dean.
1632
01:02:36,711 --> 01:02:38,703
These guys want to
play cards with me, not you.
1633
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:40,000
Be that as it may...
1634
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:41,542
You know who the biggest
winner in this game is?
1635
01:02:41,633 --> 01:02:42,669
It's you.
1636
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:43,920
You know who the
second-biggest winner is?
1637
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:45,342
Look...
It's you.
1638
01:02:47,013 --> 01:02:49,255
What are you taking home,
$10,000 a night now?
1639
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:51,215
That is my business,
literally.
1640
01:02:51,309 --> 01:02:53,301
Between you, the dealers,
and the servers,
1641
01:02:53,395 --> 01:02:54,931
you're taking a lot of money
out of this game.
1642
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:56,637
Not as much
as I'm bringing to it.
1643
01:02:56,731 --> 01:02:59,098
That $10,000 is $10,000
that doesn't go in my pocket.
1644
01:02:59,317 --> 01:03:02,276
Again. My money is...
Your money is my money.
1645
01:03:03,571 --> 01:03:04,652
Is it?
1646
01:03:05,573 --> 01:03:07,565
I think we should talk
about capping your tips.
1647
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:12,654
You want to get together
with the other players,
1648
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:16,203
who on my tax returns
are called clients,
1649
01:03:16,293 --> 01:03:18,034
and discuss putting
a ceiling on my wages?
1650
01:03:18,128 --> 01:03:19,164
That's right.

Right there, right then,
that fast, I lost the game.

It was the next Tuesday,

1657
01:03:34,019 --> 01:03:35,351
I'd be on the way
to the hotel,
1658
01:03:35,437 --> 01:03:36,678
and then sent me a text.

You are so fucked.

There's no such word
as "verticality."
1668
01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:16,266
Hmm? In the book on page 152,
1669
01:04:16,394 --> 01:04:18,556
when you lose the game in L.
A. and you come to New York,
1670
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:20,182
you admire
the city's verticality.

01:04:20,357 --> 01:04:21,393

If you guarantee the

1687
01:04:53,681 --> 01:04:55,547
then I can get you

double in sales,

Eli...
1693
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,312
There's a guy who sits
outside my Starbucks
1694
01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:08,895
with a cardboard sign
that says, "Vietnam Vet."

I give him a quarter.

between you and him

is that you have a story.

has a better one.

name the players
who are already named

01:05:57,829 --> 01:05:59,161
So what do the publishers get from you
1718
01:05:59,289 --> 01:06:00,450
about people
with real names?
1719
01:06:03,710 --> 01:06:05,451
My advance was $35,000.
1720
01:06:07,338 --> 01:06:08,454
Well, the first thing
I'm gonna do is
1721
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,210
get you
a minor role reduction.
1722
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:11,916
Get the 12 points
knocked down to 10.
1723
01:06:12,051 --> 01:06:13,167
What's a minor role
reduction?
1724
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,419
I'm going to argue
to the prosecutor
1725
01:06:14,554 --> 01:06:16,136
that you're an employee
1726
01:06:16,222 --> 01:06:18,009
that was hired
and fired by the players.
1727
01:06:18,183 --> 01:06:19,299
Not a chance.
1728
01:06:19,434 --> 01:06:20,470
I think
we've got a good chance.
1729
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,176
No. Not a chance I'm letting
you make that argument.
1730
01:06:22,270 --> 01:06:23,636
Why not?
It's not true.
1731
01:06:24,606 --> 01:06:26,063
Let me explain how
the point system works.
1732
01:06:26,191 --> 01:06:27,227
I know how it works.
1733
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:29,309
Points correspond
with the prosecutor's
1734
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:30,734
sentencing recommendation.
1735
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:31,856
You try to get
a point reduction
1736
01:06:31,946 --> 01:06:33,403
based on a variety
of factors,
1737
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:35,152
including, say,
prior criminal history,
1738
01:06:35,241 --> 01:06:36,402
which I don't have.
1739
01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:38,485
Or whether the defendant
played a minor role,
1740
01:06:38,578 --> 01:06:39,614
which I certainly
did not.
1741
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:40,945
You really think this is
a good time to hog credit?
1742
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,161
I built it from scratch.
1743
01:06:42,332 --> 01:06:43,322
No. There was
already a game
1744
01:06:43,416 --> 01:06:44,532
at the Cobra Lounge
when you came along.
1745
01:06:44,626 --> 01:06:46,413
The New York game is
what I'm talking about,
1746
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:47,493
I built from scratch.
1747
01:06:47,754 --> 01:06:49,541
I wasn't fireable.
I made sure of that.
1748
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:51,045
So, no.
1749
01:06:52,592 --> 01:06:53,628
I wasn't really listening.
1750
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:55,209
I'm refusing you
permission
1751
01:06:55,303 --> 01:06:56,714
to seek
a minor role reduction.
1752
01:06:56,804 --> 01:06:58,011
I'm refusing you permission
1753
01:06:58,097 --> 01:06:59,508
to invalidate
my entire career.
1754
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:00,635
And I'm not caring.
1755
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:02,557
I built a successful...
Hey, do you want kids?
1756
01:07:05,188 --> 01:07:06,474
You interested
in having a family?
1757
01:07:07,815 --> 01:07:08,896
Very much.
1758
01:07:08,983 --> 01:07:10,099
I don't get you
some point reductions,
1759
01:07:10,235 --> 01:07:11,442
and the sentencing
recommendation
1760
01:07:11,569 --> 01:07:13,276
guidelines say
8 to 12 years.
1761
01:07:13,404 --> 01:07:14,895
And that's before
they try to jam you up
1762
01:07:14,989 --> 01:07:16,025
more for money laundering.
1763
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:17,151
Money laundering?
1764
01:07:17,242 --> 01:07:19,029
The moment you changed the
Russians' money for chips...
1765
01:07:19,118 --> 01:07:20,780
I would have had to been
aware where the money was...
1766
01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:21,986
Find me 12 men and women
1767
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,491
who'll believe that
you weren't aware
1768
01:07:23,581 --> 01:07:25,197
of exactly who was sitting
at your table
1769
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:27,704
and where the money
came from. So, that's it.
1770
01:07:27,794 --> 01:07:29,706
You were
a cocktail waitress.
1771
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:36,466
MOLLY:
When I lost the L. A. game,
1772
01:07:36,553 --> 01:07:38,135
I told myself
it was no big deal.
1773
01:07:39,430 --> 01:07:41,296
It was just supposed
to be an adventure
1774
01:07:41,391 --> 01:07:43,257
and a way
to meet influential people.
1775
01:07:43,518 --> 01:07:44,725
(PANTING)
1776
01:07:45,436 --> 01:07:48,179
And I'd saved
over $200,000.
1777
01:07:50,275 --> 01:07:52,858
But that was just a weak
firewall I'd hastily built
1778
01:07:52,944 --> 01:07:54,981
to keep out the humiliation
and depression
1779
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:56,357
I knew was coming.
1780
01:08:00,577 --> 01:08:01,738
It had to end sometime.
1781
01:08:03,871 --> 01:08:05,863
I just thought
it would be on my time.
1782
01:08:07,292 --> 01:08:10,751
The game had given me
an identity, respect,
1783
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:14,538
and a defined place in a
world that was inaccessible.
1784
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:18,250
And in one irrational
heartbeat it was taken away.
1785
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:24,886
I was irrelevant
and forgotten overnight.
1786
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,351
It'd been two weeks
since I lost the game,
1787
01:08:31,941 --> 01:08:33,728
and I made an appointment
to see someone,
1788
01:08:33,985 --> 01:08:36,398
because now the
humiliation and depression
1789
01:08:36,487 --> 01:08:38,399
had given way
to blinding anger
1790
01:08:38,489 --> 01:08:39,855
at my powerlessness
1791
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:42,032
over the unfair whims
of men.
1792
01:08:44,787 --> 01:08:47,029
It was that
there weren't any rules.
1793
01:08:47,165 --> 01:08:48,827
These power moves
weren't framed
1794
01:08:48,916 --> 01:08:50,248
by right and wrong.
1795
01:08:50,335 --> 01:08:52,497
Just ego and vanity.
1796
01:08:52,587 --> 01:08:55,079
Selfish whims with no regard
for consequence.
1797
01:08:55,173 --> 01:08:57,005
No fairness,
no justice.
1798
01:08:57,133 --> 01:09:00,092
And that giggling,
cackling call from PlayerX.
1799
01:09:00,261 --> 01:09:01,468
PLAYER X: (CHUCKLING)
You are so fucked.
1800
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:03,671
I couldn't lose to that
green-screened little shit,
1801
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:06,382
and I didn't want a therapist
to make me feel okay about it.
1802
01:09:07,518 --> 01:09:09,760
You know what makes me
feel okay about losing?
1803
01:09:10,438 --> 01:09:11,724
Winning.
1804
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:13,980
I got on a plane
to New York.
1805
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:18,811
Wall Street.
Madison Avenue.
1806
01:09:18,946 --> 01:09:22,235
Fifth Avenue. The Dakota.
The San Remo.
1807
01:09:22,575 --> 01:09:24,988
The players were here,
I just had to bait the hook.
1808
01:09:26,037 --> 01:09:28,825
This time
I didn't have movie stars.
1809
01:09:29,415 --> 01:09:31,782
This time
I used Playboy Playmates.
1810
01:09:32,168 --> 01:09:34,330
These weren't
just any Playmates.
1811
01:09:34,712 --> 01:09:36,294
Jesse was
a Puerto Rican knockout
1812
01:09:36,381 --> 01:09:38,088
who grew up working
in card rooms
1813
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:39,585
and was a good
player herself.
1814
01:09:40,301 --> 01:09:41,542
I could stake her,
1815
01:09:41,636 --> 01:09:42,626
infiltrate other games,
1816
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,927
and poach
their big-ticket players.
1817
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:45,003
Ready to make some money?
1818
01:09:45,098 --> 01:09:46,430
Shelby could write code
1819
01:09:46,516 --> 01:09:47,927
and run more thorough
background checks
1820
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:49,053
than the TSA.
1821
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:50,350
Here's your account
at Citibank.
1822
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:52,177
MOLLY: Winston was
the daughter
1823
01:09:52,271 --> 01:09:53,352
of an American diplomat.
1824
01:09:53,898 --> 01:09:55,389
She's lived
in nine different countries
1825
01:09:55,483 --> 01:09:56,815
and had the email addresses
1826
01:09:56,901 --> 01:09:58,642
of half
the Saudi royal family.
1827
01:09:59,737 --> 01:10:01,353
MOLLY: Who's the biggest
game in Manhattan?
1828
01:10:01,447 --> 01:10:02,437
On any given night
1829
01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:04,489
it's either Teddy Chin
or Tutti Toscano.
1830
01:10:04,784 --> 01:10:06,867
But that's Manhattan.
What do you mean?
1831
01:10:06,953 --> 01:10:09,240
The biggest game in
New York is in Brooklyn.
1832
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:10,613
Russian Jews.
1833
01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:13,791
Buy-in's 100k, no one runs the
game, they just play and pay.
1834
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:15,751
MOLLY: We couldn't
promise anyone
1835
01:10:15,837 --> 01:10:17,703
they'd rub elbows
with movie stars,
1836
01:10:17,797 --> 01:10:20,164
but New York has one
thing Hollywood doesn't.
1837
01:10:20,425 --> 01:10:21,415
The Yankees.
1838
01:10:21,676 --> 01:10:23,133
And there was one Yankee
in particular
1839
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:25,802
that every man in America
would line up to lose to.
1840
01:10:25,888 --> 01:10:27,129
Don't say his name
out loud.
1841
01:10:27,223 --> 01:10:28,885
Write it on
a cocktail napkin.
1842
01:10:29,058 --> 01:10:30,174
Crumple the napkin up.
1843
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:31,516
Put it in
a glass of water,
1844
01:10:31,602 --> 01:10:32,888
so they can see
the ink dissolve.
1845
01:10:33,312 --> 01:10:34,393
That's really
necessary?
1846
01:10:34,522 --> 01:10:35,683
No, it's not at
all necessary.
1847
01:10:35,982 --> 01:10:37,473
When do we tell them the
game is going to start?
1848
01:10:38,443 --> 01:10:39,775
Tell them
it's been happening
1849
01:10:39,861 --> 01:10:41,818
once a week
for about six months
1850
01:10:41,904 --> 01:10:43,611
at a location you won't
disclose right now.
1851
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:45,735
There's a pretty long
waiting list for a chair,
1852
01:10:45,825 --> 01:10:49,614
but Molly's here somewhere,
and I'll introduce you to her.
1853
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:52,162
50k buy-in,
blinds are five and one?
1854
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:53,951
Yeah, 50...
1855
01:10:57,837 --> 01:10:59,749
Mol? 50k buy-in?
1856
01:11:00,298 --> 01:11:02,506
No. 250.
1857
01:11:03,384 --> 01:11:04,750
That's gonna make noise.
1858
01:11:05,178 --> 01:11:07,511
Enough to be heard
on Rodeo Drive.
1859
01:11:10,683 --> 01:11:11,844
(BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING)
1860
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:13,266
The Gold Coast
of Long Island
1861
01:11:13,352 --> 01:11:14,888
has been home
to the Vanderbilts,
1862
01:11:15,021 --> 01:11:16,603
Roosevelts, Whitneys,
1863
01:11:16,731 --> 01:11:18,848
J. P. Morgan,
and F. W. Woolworth.
1864
01:11:19,025 --> 01:11:20,482
It's an impossible ticket
to get.
1865
01:11:21,444 --> 01:11:22,685
But I can talk
to Molly.
1866
01:11:22,779 --> 01:11:25,021
MOLLY: Tonight was a
$10,000-per-person fundraiser
1867
01:11:25,156 --> 01:11:26,442
to pay for major
renovations
1868
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:27,989
at the East Hampton
Yacht Club.
1869
01:11:28,201 --> 01:11:29,487
Molly's around
here somewhere.
1870
01:11:29,619 --> 01:11:31,485
I could introduce you, but
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
1871
01:11:31,662 --> 01:11:32,652
MOLLY: That's for real.
1872
01:11:32,747 --> 01:11:34,158
There was a charity event
for residents
1873
01:11:34,248 --> 01:11:35,784
of the Hamptons
who own yachts.
1874
01:11:36,292 --> 01:11:38,750
In my business, that's called
a target-rich environment.
1875
01:11:38,836 --> 01:11:41,829
I have to tell you, the
initial buy-in is $250,000.
1876
01:11:41,923 --> 01:11:44,791
$250,000? That's almost
as much as my second car.
1877
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:47,967
Do your friends come
to the games?
1878
01:11:48,137 --> 01:11:49,173
Mmm-hmm.
1879
01:11:49,263 --> 01:11:50,424
MOLLY: It took only seven weeks of
1880
01:11:50,515 --> 01:11:51,756
recruiting to get
ten players
1881
01:11:51,849 --> 01:11:53,431
and seven on a waiting list.
1882
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:54,925
And in these circles,
1883
01:11:55,019 --> 01:11:57,432
that was more than enough
to start the mythology.
1884
01:11:58,314 --> 01:11:59,850
By morning,
gamblers would be
1885
01:11:59,941 --> 01:12:02,228
telling and hearing stories
about this game in London,
1886
01:12:02,610 --> 01:12:03,691
Tokyo, and Dubai.
1887
01:12:03,778 --> 01:12:04,814
All in.
1888
01:12:04,904 --> 01:12:05,985
At the end of that year,
1889
01:12:06,072 --> 01:12:10,988
I reported an income
of $4, 773,000,
1890
01:12:11,202 --> 01:12:13,910
every square inch of it
legal and on the books.
1891
01:12:14,497 --> 01:12:16,864
I was the biggest
game runner in the world.
1892
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:20,118
All tips. I still hadn't taken a rake.
1893
01:12:20,336 --> 01:12:21,793
And I still hadn't
accidentally recruited
1894
01:12:21,879 --> 01:12:23,791
members of
a Russian crime syndicate.
1895
01:12:24,549 --> 01:12:27,087
In the beginning, I was
using drugs to stay awake.
1896
01:12:27,385 --> 01:12:28,466
First Adderall,
1897
01:12:28,594 --> 01:12:31,428
then Adderall crushed up
to defeat the time release.
1898
01:12:31,514 --> 01:12:34,848
Then coke, Valium, Vicodin,
Percocet, and more Adderall.
1899
01:12:35,434 --> 01:12:37,972
I rented a penthouse apartment
and installed plasma screens
1900
01:12:38,062 --> 01:12:39,269
for the sports betters.
1901
01:12:39,939 --> 01:12:41,100
I had the lower-stakes games
1902
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,773
on Wednesdays, Thursdays,
and Sundays at my place,
1903
01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:46,068
with Tuesday night at the
Plaza being the big game.
1904
01:12:46,779 --> 01:12:47,986
At 7:00, the dealers came,
1905
01:12:48,072 --> 01:12:49,529
and the table was set up
and polished,
1906
01:12:49,615 --> 01:12:51,151
and 10 chairs were placed
around it,
1907
01:12:51,242 --> 01:12:52,858
exactly 12 inches apart.
1908
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,110
I used custom chips
1909
01:12:55,204 --> 01:12:57,696
and two dealers who worked
an hour on, an hour off,
1910
01:12:57,790 --> 01:13:00,203
with a new crew coming in
after 12 hours.
1911
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:03,081
Casinos had discovered that
certain scents
1912
01:13:03,170 --> 01:13:05,457
make people more likely
to place big bets.
1913
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:08,165
The casinos pump those scents
in through the ventilation.
1914
01:13:08,676 --> 01:13:10,167
I had custom candles made.
1915
01:13:11,846 --> 01:13:14,179
I'd been working with
a new dealer named "B."
1916
01:13:14,307 --> 01:13:16,219
Not like Beatrice,
just the initial.
1917
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:18,762
She'd been working
in trashy card rooms
1918
01:13:18,853 --> 01:13:20,845
on the East Side,
and we became friends.
1919
01:13:22,315 --> 01:13:23,556
Tone it down.
1920
01:13:23,649 --> 01:13:25,265
The big players
don't like fast hands.
1921
01:13:28,779 --> 01:13:31,237
Sarcastic dealing, cool.
1922
01:13:31,908 --> 01:13:34,491
You've gotta do it.
Not doing it is insanity.
1923
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:36,239
You must be able
to see that?
1924
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:38,991
You've been stiffed four
or five times,
1925
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:41,368
you've got hundreds
of thousands on the street.
1926
01:13:41,459 --> 01:13:42,950
That's money you're
never gonna see again.
1927
01:13:44,045 --> 01:13:46,458
MOLLY: B had been suggesting
it for a long time.
1928
01:13:47,256 --> 01:13:48,667
(DOORBELL RINGS)
She was suggesting it again
1929
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:50,374
because of an incident
the week before.
1930
01:13:50,468 --> 01:13:51,629
Hey, Cole.
Hey.
1931
01:13:51,719 --> 01:13:53,802
Come on in. Thanks. You got my check?
1932
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:57,423
I do. It's right here.
Thank you.
1933
01:13:57,516 --> 01:13:59,678
Hey, can I show you
something on TV?
1934
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:01,886
Actually,
I'm in kind of a hurry.
1935
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:03,436
It'll just take a second.
Have a seat.
1936
01:14:06,776 --> 01:14:08,813
This is last
Tuesday's game.
1937
01:14:09,403 --> 01:14:10,439
Shit, Molly,
1938
01:14:10,529 --> 01:14:12,145
if the guys find out
you've got cameras on them,
1939
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:13,446
they're gonna go nuts.
1940
01:14:14,075 --> 01:14:15,941
Yeah. That's you
in the seventh chair.
1941
01:14:16,035 --> 01:14:17,151
Look at your stack
of chips.
1942
01:14:17,244 --> 01:14:18,576
I've got a cab
downstairs. Can we just...
1943
01:14:18,663 --> 01:14:19,744
Look at the time stamp.
1944
01:14:20,164 --> 01:14:21,871
1:06 a. m.
1945
01:14:22,291 --> 01:14:23,907
Let's fast-forward
to 1:07.
1946
01:14:24,001 --> 01:14:25,867
1:07 you lose a hand
to Boosty.
1947
01:14:26,128 --> 01:14:28,245
What is this?
1:08...
1948
01:14:28,464 --> 01:14:29,875
Our sheets say
you didn't buy in again
1949
01:14:30,007 --> 01:14:31,464
between 1:06 and 1:08.
1950
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:33,751
But look at that.
Your stack's bigger.
1951
01:14:33,928 --> 01:14:35,169
I can explain.
It's just...
1952
01:14:35,304 --> 01:14:36,294
Okay, let's rewind.
1953
01:14:36,430 --> 01:14:38,513
This screen's got
the dealer changeover
1954
01:14:38,641 --> 01:14:41,304
while at the same time
on this screen, and...
1955
01:14:43,396 --> 01:14:44,603
There we are.
1956
01:14:44,689 --> 01:14:47,022
This is why
I can't reconcile $57,000
1957
01:14:47,108 --> 01:14:48,224
from Tuesday's game.
1958
01:14:48,359 --> 01:14:49,816
A 7-Eleven's
got security cameras
1959
01:14:49,902 --> 01:14:50,892
on their slushie machine.
1960
01:14:50,987 --> 01:14:52,603
I've got a million dollars
changing hands
1961
01:14:52,697 --> 01:14:54,313
every two minutes, imbecile.
1962
01:14:54,448 --> 01:14:56,189
You don't think
I've got eyes on the table?
1963
01:14:58,995 --> 01:15:00,202
Relax.
1964
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:06,450
I... I owe people money.
I know.
1965
01:15:06,585 --> 01:15:08,076
Why isn't it coming
from the trust fund?
1966
01:15:08,170 --> 01:15:10,332
I need my parents'
permission to get that much.
1967
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:11,955
And they'd kill me.
1968
01:15:12,049 --> 01:15:13,290
You don't even understand
what it's like.
1969
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:15,213
People just don't realize
trust fund kids
1970
01:15:15,302 --> 01:15:16,838
are suffering
in this economy too.
1971
01:15:16,971 --> 01:15:18,428
I realize
what I did was wrong...
1972
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,050
Did it take a lot of
soul-searching to
1973
01:15:20,141 --> 01:15:21,131
get you there?
I meant that...
1974
01:15:21,225 --> 01:15:22,215
First of all,
1975
01:15:22,309 --> 01:15:23,550
the guys that are making
the counterfeit chips,
1976
01:15:23,644 --> 01:15:24,885
they're taking you
for a ride.
1977
01:15:24,979 --> 01:15:26,971
They know that there are
signatures built in the chips,
1978
01:15:27,064 --> 01:15:29,681
exact weight,
infrared markings...
1979
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:31,562
(GASPS)
Breathe. Second...
1980
01:15:31,652 --> 01:15:33,018
Don't try this
at anyone else's game,
1981
01:15:33,112 --> 01:15:34,273
because if you do,
1982
01:15:34,363 --> 01:15:35,479
they're gonna express
their anger
1983
01:15:35,573 --> 01:15:37,530
in a much different way
than I am.
1984
01:15:37,825 --> 01:15:39,407
You owe me $57,000.
1985
01:15:39,493 --> 01:15:40,859
When I get it,
you get the tape.
1986
01:15:40,953 --> 01:15:42,069
But until then,
1987
01:15:42,163 --> 01:15:44,576
you don't play
in anyone's game.
1988
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:47,328
So, when Tuesday night
came, B was at it again.
1989
01:15:47,418 --> 01:15:49,080
B: Your exposure's crazy.
1990
01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:51,245
It's not if, it's when.
1991
01:15:51,505 --> 01:15:52,621
You're gonna get
blown up.
1992
01:15:53,340 --> 01:15:55,002
Your risk is nuts.
1993
01:15:55,926 --> 01:15:58,259
If I took a rake, this game
would no longer be legal.
1994
01:15:58,345 --> 01:15:59,506
And if you can't cover,
1995
01:15:59,597 --> 01:16:01,304
this game
will no longer exist.
1996
01:16:02,141 --> 01:16:03,473
You're the bank now.
1997
01:16:04,101 --> 01:16:06,058
You're guaranteeing
the game.
1998
01:16:08,939 --> 01:16:11,773
If you see a hand
you don't want to carry,
1999
01:16:11,859 --> 01:16:13,225
just look at me,
2000
01:16:13,569 --> 01:16:15,310
flash me a number,
2001
01:16:15,404 --> 01:16:16,770
and I'll take it off
the table.
2002
01:16:18,908 --> 01:16:21,195
Most runners
cap it at 5%.
2003
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:24,786
I'll see you out there.
See you out there.
2004
01:16:24,914 --> 01:16:26,030
(SCOFFS)
2005
01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:28,414
(DOOR CLOSES)
2006
01:16:43,682 --> 01:16:45,173
MOLLY: Two weeks later,
around 2:00 a. m.,
2007
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:48,010
there was a pot that was up
to $1.3 million pre-flop.
2008
01:16:48,104 --> 01:16:49,094
PLAYER: Call.
2009
01:16:49,188 --> 01:16:50,474
MOLLY:
With five players still in.
2010
01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:54,562
My hope was that the flop
would chase four of them off.
2011
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,060
PLAYER: $200,000.
2012
01:16:57,154 --> 01:16:58,361
Raise $100,000.
2013
01:17:01,408 --> 01:17:03,240
$300,000 to you, sir.
2014
01:17:03,327 --> 01:17:04,443
Call.
2015
01:17:05,246 --> 01:17:07,613
MOLLY: There was now
$2. 1 million on the table.
2016
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:12,208
$300,000 to you, sir.
2017
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:15,871
Plus 200.
2018
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:17,501
MOLLY: $2.6 million.
2019
01:17:24,515 --> 01:17:25,722
$3 million.
2020
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:27,849
She was right.
2021
01:17:27,935 --> 01:17:29,927
I was extending credit.
Big numbers.
2022
01:17:30,020 --> 01:17:31,352
And it's not like
Harlan Eustice
2023
01:17:31,438 --> 01:17:33,600
hadn't already put
the fear of God into me.
2024
01:17:34,024 --> 01:17:37,313
If I couldn't pay one time,
that'd be the end of the game.
2025
01:17:38,237 --> 01:17:39,603
I was the house.
2026
01:17:43,492 --> 01:17:45,779
That's how quickly
I made the decision.
2027
01:17:45,870 --> 01:17:46,860
And just as quickly,
2028
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:49,992
B calculated 2% of the pot
and took it off the table.
2029
01:17:52,918 --> 01:17:54,034
That was it.
2030
01:17:54,128 --> 01:17:55,118
I had just taken a rake
2031
01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:59,172
in violation
of U. S. Criminal Code 1955.
2032
01:18:04,763 --> 01:18:06,846
It's time
to introduce Douglas Downey,
2033
01:18:06,932 --> 01:18:09,174
'cause Downey's gonna
take us all the way home.
2034
01:18:09,268 --> 01:18:10,850
Downey was a drunk,
and he'd stay after the game
2035
01:18:10,936 --> 01:18:12,723
and hang out
while I did the books.
2036
01:18:13,731 --> 01:18:15,472
He was hard to understand
when he was drunk,
2037
01:18:15,566 --> 01:18:17,273
and his conversation openers
would always sound like
2038
01:18:17,359 --> 01:18:19,066
the title
of a detective novel.
2039
01:18:19,445 --> 01:18:21,186
Victim of circumstance.
2040
01:18:21,906 --> 01:18:22,942

MOLLY: He'd talk
about his marriage.
2045
01:18:41,717 --> 01:18:43,674
I married young, Mol.
2046
01:18:44,887 --> 01:18:47,504
I married young,
and I married dull.

If I'd been born in Greenwich
instead of Flushing...

wanting a better life.

01:19:15,584 --> 01:19:18,122
Mol, these are things
I only say to you.
2057
01:19:19,046 --> 01:19:20,253
Good call.
2058
01:19:20,339 --> 01:19:23,002
And he'd talk about
another game he played in.
2059
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:24,708
It was the Brooklyn game.
2060
01:19:24,802 --> 01:19:25,963
The Brighton Beach game
2061
01:19:26,053 --> 01:19:28,261
where they played all night
and all day.
2062
01:19:28,347 --> 01:19:30,509
The game that was populated
by Russians.
2063
01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:32,682
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2064
01:19:33,852 --> 01:19:37,186
Mol, these are the
nicest guys I've ever met.
2065
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:40,853
Then one night, Douglas
Downey lost $80,000 at my game
2066
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:41,979
and didn't have it.
2067
01:19:42,528 --> 01:19:44,190
Winston, can I have
the room, please?
2068
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:45,646
Sure.
2069
01:19:45,739 --> 01:19:47,196
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hmm.
2070
01:19:51,537 --> 01:19:53,529
You won
$190,000 last week.
2071
01:19:53,622 --> 01:19:56,786
I owe Teddy Chin
and Tutti... (SIGHS)
2072
01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:58,787
Right. And some sports bets.
2073
01:19:58,877 --> 01:20:01,460
I'm a winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2074
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:02,754
Stop.
Yeah.
2075
01:20:03,716 --> 01:20:05,298
The Brooklyn game.
2076
01:20:06,135 --> 01:20:07,467
Is everything
I've heard true?
2077
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,302
What have you heard?
2078
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:10,674
The Russians have
deep pockets,
2079
01:20:10,764 --> 01:20:12,881
bad at poker, give
action, pay instantly,
2080
01:20:12,975 --> 01:20:15,217
and wear a coat and tie.
That's all true.
2081
01:20:19,940 --> 01:20:20,976
Bring me some
of those players,
2082
01:20:21,108 --> 01:20:22,189
and I'll give you
a piece of the game
2083
01:20:22,318 --> 01:20:23,479
until your 80k
is paid down.
2084
01:20:24,403 --> 01:20:26,440
Loser is what
I was gonna say.
2085
01:20:26,530 --> 01:20:28,192
Winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2086
01:20:28,282 --> 01:20:29,989
I know. Got it.
...loser.
2087
01:20:30,075 --> 01:20:31,361
Can you bring me
some players?
2088
01:20:31,452 --> 01:20:33,239
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.
2089
01:20:33,871 --> 01:20:35,908
Do you understand the
deal I'm offering you?
2090
01:20:35,998 --> 01:20:38,331
No, I'm saying this
because you're Irish,
2091
01:20:38,625 --> 01:20:40,491
and they may not want
to play in your game.
2092
01:20:40,586 --> 01:20:42,202
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.
2093
01:20:42,338 --> 01:20:43,499
I'm not Irish.
2094
01:20:43,756 --> 01:20:44,997
(CHUCKLES)
2095
01:20:46,842 --> 01:20:48,549
You're not?
No.
2096
01:20:50,637 --> 01:20:51,753
Molly Bloom?
2097
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,588
You're thinking of the
James Joyce character.
2098
01:20:55,559 --> 01:20:57,471
I always thought
you were Irish.
2099
01:20:58,062 --> 01:20:59,849
I'm not. Can you bring
me some players?
2100
01:20:59,980 --> 01:21:02,643
Isn't there a famous book...
Okay, Douglas, focus up.
2101
01:21:02,733 --> 01:21:05,066
Yes, there's a book by
James Joyce called Ulysses,
2102
01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:06,313
and there's a character
named Molly Bloom,
2103
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:07,939
and that is why
you think I'm Irish,
2104
01:21:08,030 --> 01:21:09,987
but now it's time
to move past that.
2105
01:21:10,074 --> 01:21:12,031
Can you bring me some
Brighton Beach players?
2106
01:21:15,037 --> 01:21:16,494
If you're not Irish,
what are you?
2107
01:21:17,498 --> 01:21:18,955
I'm a Russian Jew.
2108
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:21,833
The next week
I had some new players.
2109
01:21:22,294 --> 01:21:23,660
Mike was the first one
to arrive.
2110
01:21:23,754 --> 01:21:25,290
Good evening. I'm
Jesse. I'm Mike Davidoff.
2111
01:21:25,381 --> 01:21:27,043
MOLLY: Mike owned a chain
of medical clinics
2112
01:21:27,132 --> 01:21:29,590
and had already posted
with a wire transfer.
2113
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:31,338
Next were
the Gershen brothers,
2114
01:21:31,428 --> 01:21:32,794
Illya and Alexei.
2115
01:21:32,888 --> 01:21:35,346
They were in the business
of exporting steel to China.
2116
01:21:35,432 --> 01:21:36,968
Alexei brought a quarter
of a million dollars
2117
01:21:37,059 --> 01:21:38,345
in cash in a backpack.
2118
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,596
Mr. Habib, good evening.
I'm Shelby.
2119
01:21:42,815 --> 01:21:45,683
(CHUCKLES) I'm Shelly.
Only one letter's different.
2120
01:21:46,276 --> 01:21:47,392
Also, I'm a billionaire.
2121
01:21:47,528 --> 01:21:48,518
I think I may have
seen you naked.
2122
01:21:48,695 --> 01:21:50,687
No. You would remember.
2123
01:21:51,323 --> 01:21:52,939
MOLLY: And then
Shelly Habib.
2124
01:21:53,033 --> 01:21:54,865
The Habib family owns
the largest collection
2125
01:21:54,952 --> 01:21:56,534
of classical art
in the world,
2126
01:21:56,620 --> 01:21:58,361
valued at $3 billion,
2127
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:01,038
and Shelly runs the Hallie
Gallery on Madison Avenue.
2128
01:22:01,166 --> 01:22:04,000
As for tonight, I was not able
to put my hands on cash today,
2129
01:22:04,086 --> 01:22:06,703
because I woke up this morning
after the banks had closed.
2130
01:22:06,797 --> 01:22:08,208
So, I'm hoping
you'll accept this
2131
01:22:08,298 --> 01:22:09,755
as temporary collateral.
2132
01:22:12,845 --> 01:22:16,134
That is an authentic Monet.
2133
01:22:16,223 --> 01:22:17,759
Grabbed it right
off the wall.
2134
01:22:18,976 --> 01:22:21,138
You came over here
carrying a Monet?
2135
01:22:21,228 --> 01:22:24,437
I was driven, and I have
security outside the door.
2136
01:22:24,523 --> 01:22:26,105
Okay, Shelly.
2137
01:22:26,191 --> 01:22:29,400
Here's what I need you to do.
I need you to get this, what,
2138
01:22:29,486 --> 01:22:30,522
four?
Seven.
2139
01:22:30,612 --> 01:22:32,695
$7 million painting
out of here right now.
2140
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:35,273
And you're, I assume, armed? Sure.
2141
01:22:35,367 --> 01:22:36,903
Security can't stand
in front of the door.
2142
01:22:37,119 --> 01:22:38,906
Fix this up, come on back,
2143
01:22:38,996 --> 01:22:41,283
and I'll extend you credit
tonight up to one and a half.
2144
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:43,782
You're a very
beautiful woman.
2145
01:22:44,209 --> 01:22:45,495
Please be careful
with the painting.
2146
01:22:45,586 --> 01:22:46,667
Always.
2147
01:22:47,004 --> 01:22:49,747
MOLLY: Mike, Illya, Alexei,
and Shelly.
2148
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,832
Those were the players
Doug Downey brought me.
2149
01:22:51,925 --> 01:22:54,417
As advertised, they played
loose, gave action,
2150
01:22:54,511 --> 01:22:57,424
lost to the regulars,
and settled right away.
2151
01:22:57,514 --> 01:22:58,800
People have asked,
2152
01:22:58,891 --> 01:23:00,553
"Wasn't there any way to
tell that some of the players
2153
01:23:00,642 --> 01:23:01,928
"at your game
were connected
2154
01:23:02,019 --> 01:23:03,135
"to one of the darkest,
deadliest,
2155
01:23:03,228 --> 01:23:04,560
"and far-reaching organized
2156
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:06,387
"crime syndicates
in the world?"
2157
01:23:06,482 --> 01:23:08,394
No. There wasn't.
2158
01:23:09,026 --> 01:23:10,983
I'm gonna go all in.
ALL: Aww!
2159
01:24:04,081 --> 01:24:05,447
(DOOR CLOSES)
2160
01:24:05,541 --> 01:24:06,782
(SIGHS)
2161
01:24:08,377 --> 01:24:09,538
I wish I had better news.
2162
01:24:10,837 --> 01:24:13,329
Harrison Wellstone didn't go
for the minor role reduction?
2163
01:24:13,423 --> 01:24:14,834
No.
2164
01:24:14,925 --> 01:24:16,461
He didn't buy that I
was a cocktail waitress?
2165
01:24:16,552 --> 01:24:17,918
No.
Aww.
2166
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:19,419
Is it because I wasn't?
2167
01:24:19,555 --> 01:24:22,298
Hey, I tried, which is what
you're not paying me to do.
2168
01:24:22,432 --> 01:24:23,548
So, what now?
2169
01:24:23,642 --> 01:24:24,928
The government is
expressing an interest
2170
01:24:25,018 --> 01:24:26,350
in you being
a cooperating witness.
2171
01:24:26,436 --> 01:24:27,472
You don't say?
2172
01:24:27,563 --> 01:24:28,679
Molly. Who could have possibly
2173
01:24:28,772 --> 01:24:30,354
seen that coming? Let's
have the conversation.
2174
01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:31,681
It'll be short,
because I don't know
2175
01:24:31,775 --> 01:24:32,856
anything at all
that can help them.
2176
01:24:32,943 --> 01:24:34,434
You don't know anything that
can help them convict
2177
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:35,939
the Russians, but you know
things that can help them.
2178
01:24:36,029 --> 01:24:38,362
Did you know that
97% of federal cases
2179
01:24:38,448 --> 01:24:39,689
never make it to trial?
2180
01:24:39,783 --> 01:24:41,820
Even though the chances
of being convicted at trial
2181
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:42,946
is a little more
than one in 100?
2182
01:24:43,078 --> 01:24:44,489
If you want to go to trial,
that's fine.
2183
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:47,204
But it's gonna cost you in
the area of $3.5 million.
2184
01:24:47,332 --> 01:24:48,868
Which the Justice Department
knows I don't have,
2185
01:24:48,959 --> 01:24:51,076
because they took all
my money in a civil forfeiture
2186
01:24:51,169 --> 01:24:54,082
which they can do without a
warrant, because my property
2187
01:24:54,172 --> 01:24:55,788
doesn't have a presumption of innocence.
2188
01:24:55,924 --> 01:24:58,041
Then after I'm arrested
by 17 agents
2189
01:24:58,135 --> 01:24:59,501
holding automatic weapons...
2190
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:02,008
Totally necessary, not at
all meant to intimidate me...
2191
01:25:02,097 --> 01:25:03,383
I'm given two days
to hire a lawyer
2192
01:25:03,473 --> 01:25:04,509
and appear in a courtroom
2193
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:05,636
on the other side
of the country.
2194
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:06,762
If you're saying that
2195
01:25:06,852 --> 01:25:08,718
everything that happens from
the moment you are arrested
2196
01:25:08,812 --> 01:25:10,644
is designed to persuade you
to plead guilty,
2197
01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:11,808
you are correct.
2198
01:25:11,898 --> 01:25:13,105
So, tell me all the ways
I can help,
2199
01:25:13,233 --> 01:25:14,474
because I really feel
I owe it to them.
2200
01:25:15,193 --> 01:25:16,400
Oh, speaking of owing,
2201
01:25:16,486 --> 01:25:18,773
the IRS put a tax lien on
the money they took from me.
2202
01:25:18,864 --> 01:25:20,696
Are you kidding...
(SIGHS)
2203
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:21,818
All right.
None of that matters.
2204
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:23,115
Taking my money
wasn't a tax.
2205
01:25:23,201 --> 01:25:25,033
I also need to give them
my money,
2206
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:26,827
or they will take it
again. None of that matters.
2207
01:25:26,955 --> 01:25:28,287
It needed to be said.
Not really.
2208
01:25:28,415 --> 01:25:29,906
So, to be clear,
you're not interested
2209
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,081
in entering
a cooperation agreement
2210
01:25:31,168 --> 01:25:32,158
with the prosecutors?
2211
01:25:32,252 --> 01:25:33,914
If I had testimony
that would lead
2212
01:25:34,004 --> 01:25:35,245
to the conviction
of a bad guy,
2213
01:25:35,339 --> 01:25:38,047
no one would have to
coerce me into cooperating.
2214
01:25:38,216 --> 01:25:40,003
But I don't.
I have dirt.
2215
01:25:40,177 --> 01:25:41,713
I have dish.
I have gossip.
2216
01:25:41,803 --> 01:25:43,294
So, my value
to the prosecution
2217
01:25:43,388 --> 01:25:45,926
is exactly the same
as it is to Hollywood.
2218
01:25:46,016 --> 01:25:47,052
I'm here to ensure
2219
01:25:47,142 --> 01:25:48,883
the New York Post
covers the trial.
2220
01:25:48,977 --> 01:25:50,218
I'm here to sell tickets.
2221
01:25:50,312 --> 01:25:52,679
Which is nonetheless
value to the prosecution,
2222
01:25:52,773 --> 01:25:54,605
so what we do
is leverage it
2223
01:25:54,691 --> 01:25:56,307
to get you a favorable
sentencing recommendation.
2224
01:25:56,401 --> 01:25:57,437

Hey.

01:26:04,951 --> 01:26:06,658
What does he have
you doing now?
2229
01:26:06,745 --> 01:26:07,906
An essay on
three poems
2230
01:26:07,996 --> 01:26:09,328
with what he believes
are a common theme.
2231
01:26:09,414 --> 01:26:11,622
Not an essay.
Two paragraphs.
2232
01:26:11,833 --> 01:26:14,075
Which three poems? "Close,"
"Rush," and "Walls."
2233
01:26:14,753 --> 01:26:15,960
Oh, I know those.
2234
01:26:16,046 --> 01:26:17,378

theme?
2235
01:26:17,464 --> 01:26:18,750
Things with
one-word titles.
2236
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:20,627

to be teaching poetry?

she doesn't have a home,

Okay. See ya.

in the head.

01:26:37,442 --> 01:26:38,478
There is a law that
says that.

I taught her to read.

Can I ask you a question?

01:26:52,499 --> 01:26:53,956
You think I'm too
hard on her?
2256
01:26:54,876 --> 01:26:56,492
I met a girl
when I first moved to L. A.,
2257
01:26:56,586 --> 01:26:57,667
she was 22.
2258
01:26:58,130 --> 01:26:59,837
Someone arranged through
a third party
2259
01:26:59,923 --> 01:27:01,289
to spend the weekend
with her in London.
2260
01:27:01,383 --> 01:27:03,796
You know what she got?
For the weekend?
2261
01:27:03,885 --> 01:27:06,002
Five grand.
A bag.
2262
01:27:06,596 --> 01:27:08,132
A Chanel bag she wanted.

That's right.

and lie to me,
and lie to the kids.

and you lie to your kids.

For the record, the law 1955
that I'm accused of breaking,
2295
01:28:45,237 --> 01:28:48,446
it defines gambling as
betting on games of chance.
2296

Yes. Poker isn't a game of chance.

Roulette's a game
of chance.
2298

wasn't what
you would call real.
2306
01:29:17,102 --> 01:29:18,138
It was a Ponzi scheme.
2307
01:29:18,645 --> 01:29:20,728
He'd been falsely reporting
profits for years.
2308
01:29:20,897 --> 01:29:22,889
He wasn't even registered
with the SEC.
2309

With the money given
to him by friends
2310
01:29:24,693 --> 01:29:26,275
and family and players
at the game,
2311
01:29:26,361 --> 01:29:28,353
he bought several
Malibu beach houses,

full of cars,

01:29:30,282 --> 01:29:33,070
another one with an airplane,
and a life he wanted.

01:29:33,159 --> 01:29:36,243
When he was arrested,
he had $740 in the bank.

Brad cooperated
with the FBI
2316
01:29:37,998 --> 01:29:39,660
and gave them hours
of testimony

01:29:39,749 --> 01:29:40,956
on a range of subjects,
2318
01:29:41,042 --> 01:29:42,374
including how,
three years earlier,
2319
01:29:42,460 --> 01:29:44,622
he lost $5.2 million
2320
01:29:44,713 --> 01:29:46,670
in an underground
celebrity poker game
2321
01:29:46,756 --> 01:29:49,339
that was run by a girl
named Molly Bloom.
2322
01:29:49,426 --> 01:29:51,088
His story was that
I'd induced him
2323
01:29:51,177 --> 01:29:52,338
to play in
a high stakes game...
2324
01:29:52,429 --> 01:29:53,636
I just wanted to introduce
you to Brad Marion.
2325
01:29:53,722 --> 01:29:54,963
...and that due
to my enabling,
2326
01:29:55,056 --> 01:29:56,297
he'd become
a gambling addict.
2327
01:29:56,391 --> 01:29:58,678
She was the person who made me
become a gambling addict.
2328
01:29:58,768 --> 01:30:00,259
Brad, this game might
not be for you.
2329
01:30:00,353 --> 01:30:02,015
Federal bankruptcy lawyers
were brought in
2330
01:30:02,105 --> 01:30:04,518
to recover as much of the
boosted money as they could.
2331
01:30:05,275 --> 01:30:06,311
I was sent a subpoena
2332
01:30:06,401 --> 01:30:08,267
and flew out to L. A.
to be deposed.
2333
01:30:08,653 --> 01:30:10,315
Can you confirm the names on the list
2334
01:30:10,405 --> 01:30:11,987
all played poker
with Brad Marion?
2335
01:30:12,407 --> 01:30:14,490
This list was provided
to you by Brad Marion?
2336
01:30:14,576 --> 01:30:16,033
I just need you to confirm
for the record
2337
01:30:16,119 --> 01:30:18,156
that your game included,
but was not limited to,
2338
01:30:18,288 --> 01:30:19,278
the players on this list. I understand.
2339
01:30:19,372 --> 01:30:20,488
What I'm trying to get
on the record
2340
01:30:20,582 --> 01:30:22,414
is that I'm not the one
who provided the list.
2341
01:30:23,627 --> 01:30:25,789
These names were provided
by Brad Marion.
2342
01:30:27,797 --> 01:30:29,379
So, under oath...
2343
01:30:30,091 --> 01:30:31,081
Yes.
2344
01:30:31,176 --> 01:30:33,509
I can confirm
the list is accurate.
2345
01:30:33,595 --> 01:30:35,837

and I were given a choice.
2346

2347
01:30:38,308 --> 01:30:40,140

01:30:42,103 --> 01:30:45,187
I wrote the government
a check for $500,000.
2350
01:30:45,273 --> 01:30:48,141
And somewhere in an FBI
field office in New York,
2351
01:30:48,443 --> 01:30:50,400
someone was pinning
my picture to a wall.
2352
01:30:52,614 --> 01:30:54,276

six games a week,
2353

sometimes at two different
locations in a night.
2354
01:30:56,952 --> 01:30:59,239
And by this point,
I was addicted to drugs,
2355
01:31:00,121 --> 01:31:01,953
Adderall, Ambien,
Xanax, coke,

01:31:02,582 --> 01:31:03,743

keep me up for a few days

and knock me out
for a few hours.

But I wasn'tjust taking
them to stay awake anymore.

It was dark and friendless
where I was.

I felt like
I was in a hole so deep
2363
01:31:23,353 --> 01:31:24,844
I could go fracking.
2364
01:31:24,938 --> 01:31:26,554
It didn't feel
like depression,
2365
01:31:26,648 --> 01:31:28,355

2398
01:32:41,389 --> 01:32:43,506
I'm the woman all of you
have always dreamed of.
2399
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,091
I'm the anti-wife.
2400
01:32:45,435 --> 01:32:46,516
I encourage your gambling.
2401
01:32:46,603 --> 01:32:49,767
I have drinks served to you by
models who simultaneously create
2402
01:32:49,856 --> 01:32:51,438
the impression
that you're the kind of guy
2403
01:32:51,524 --> 01:32:53,436
who can score a dime piece
anytime you want.
2404
01:32:53,526 --> 01:32:55,483
It's nice for
you in here.
2405
01:32:56,237 --> 01:32:57,819
Do you know who Circe was?
2406
01:32:58,448 --> 01:32:59,484
Um...
2407
01:33:00,158 --> 01:33:01,319
Circe?
2408
01:33:02,535 --> 01:33:03,696
Used to play
in Teddy Chin's game?
2409
01:33:03,787 --> 01:33:04,777
Nope.
2410
01:33:05,121 --> 01:33:06,862
Circe did not play
in Teddy's game.
2411
01:33:06,956 --> 01:33:08,948
She was the Greek
goddess of magic.
2412
01:33:09,042 --> 01:33:11,785
And she gave men feasts
with wine and honey,
2413
01:33:11,878 --> 01:33:13,961
and then turned them
into swine.
2414
01:33:14,089 --> 01:33:15,296
Why?
2415
01:33:15,381 --> 01:33:16,872
Fantastic question.
2416
01:33:17,801 --> 01:33:20,009
I would never
do that to you.
2417
01:33:20,470 --> 01:33:22,427
Missed the point by
miles, but that's okay.
2418
01:33:22,889 --> 01:33:23,879
Oh.
2419
01:33:25,016 --> 01:33:26,632
Um, Molly.
2420
01:33:26,726 --> 01:33:28,513
Shelby and Winston
will close up.
2421
01:33:30,063 --> 01:33:31,349
I'll see you next week.
2422
01:33:37,695 --> 01:33:39,687
Here you go.
Thanks a lot, Randy.
2423
01:33:39,781 --> 01:33:41,113
Thanks, Molly.
2424
01:33:41,199 --> 01:33:43,407
Good morning.
Morning, Pat.
2425
01:33:44,119 --> 01:33:46,406
Pat was my driver
and security.
2426
01:33:47,705 --> 01:33:49,492
Straight home?
Yeah.
2427
01:33:49,582 --> 01:33:50,823
We didn't know much
more about each other
2428
01:33:50,917 --> 01:33:52,033
than we needed to know,
2429
01:33:52,127 --> 01:33:53,163
but I liked him.
2430
01:33:53,253 --> 01:33:54,494
We were friends.
2431
01:34:01,094 --> 01:34:03,177
I used to be
a competitive athlete.
2432
01:34:04,931 --> 01:34:06,513
I didn't know
if you knew that.
2433
01:34:06,599 --> 01:34:07,760
What sport?
2434
01:34:08,476 --> 01:34:09,637
Skiing.
2435
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:11,806
Freestyle.
2436
01:34:12,355 --> 01:34:13,766
Were you good?
2437
01:34:16,776 --> 01:34:18,233
I don't know.
2438
01:34:26,035 --> 01:34:27,025
Hey, Molly,
can I ask you something?
2439
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,156
MOLLY: Pat asked me a favor.
2440
01:34:28,246 --> 01:34:30,454
He said there were a couple of
hedge fund guys in New Jersey
2441
01:34:30,540 --> 01:34:31,621
who wanted to play,
2442
01:34:31,708 --> 01:34:32,915
and he could score points
with them
2443
01:34:33,001 --> 01:34:34,742
if he was able to get them
a meeting with me.
2444
01:34:34,836 --> 01:34:36,452
I said sure,
and set the meeting
2445
01:34:36,546 --> 01:34:38,003
for 5:00 p. m.
on a Thursday
2446
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:39,375
at the Four Seasons bar,
2447
01:34:39,465 --> 01:34:41,047
knowing that
if they were legit,
2448
01:34:41,134 --> 01:34:42,420
they'd recognize someone
in the crowd
2449
01:34:42,510 --> 01:34:43,500
at happy hour
2450
01:34:43,595 --> 01:34:45,757
at the Four Seasons
right after the closing bell.
2451
01:34:45,847 --> 01:34:47,804
It turns out, I didn't need
to be that clever.
2452
01:34:48,141 --> 01:34:49,552
These weren't
finance guys.
2453
01:34:49,642 --> 01:34:51,725
They were from the cast
of The Jersey Boys.
2454
01:34:51,811 --> 01:34:53,677
They looked around the bar
self-consciously,
2455
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:55,012
they were out
of their element,
2456
01:34:55,106 --> 01:34:56,597
and tough guys try
to look tougher
2457
01:34:56,691 --> 01:34:57,681
when they're insecure.
2458
01:34:58,067 --> 01:34:59,399
I had a good hunch
what they wanted,
2459
01:34:59,485 --> 01:35:00,475
and I was gonna have to
2460
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:01,651
shut down
this meeting quickly,
2461
01:35:01,738 --> 01:35:04,105
but without being rude
to Joey Bag 'o Donuts
2462
01:35:04,199 --> 01:35:05,235
and Secaucus Sal.
2463
01:35:05,325 --> 01:35:06,861
I'm Molly Bloom.
Nice to meet you.
2464
01:35:06,951 --> 01:35:08,362
John G.
2465
01:35:08,453 --> 01:35:09,614
And you are?
Paul.
2466
01:35:11,372 --> 01:35:12,954
JOHN G.:
How do we get a drink?
2467
01:35:14,459 --> 01:35:16,166
MOLLY: I don't remember
what the other guy ordered,
2468
01:35:16,294 --> 01:35:17,751
but I'll never forget
what John G. had.
2469
01:35:17,879 --> 01:35:19,495
He looked at the waiter
as if to say
2470
01:35:19,631 --> 01:35:21,167
that he could handle
himselfjust fine
2471
01:35:21,257 --> 01:35:22,623
among the Manhattan elite
and said...
2472
01:35:22,717 --> 01:35:24,083
I'll have an appletini.
2473
01:35:26,137 --> 01:35:27,344
Okay.
2474
01:35:27,430 --> 01:35:29,046
So, how was your week?
My week?
2475
01:35:29,140 --> 01:35:31,052
Uh, it was fine.
Thank you.
2476
01:35:31,893 --> 01:35:34,226
Pat said you guys might be
interested in a game?
2477
01:35:36,022 --> 01:35:37,388
We want to partner
with you.
2478
01:35:39,025 --> 01:35:40,015
We've talked
to Tutti, Will...
2479

Teddy Chin.
2480
01:35:41,236 --> 01:35:42,352
JOHN G.: Teddy Chin.
2481
01:35:42,570 --> 01:35:44,482
We did a little work
with them too.
2482
01:35:44,739 --> 01:35:46,526
We can make
your life easier.
2483
01:35:49,077 --> 01:35:50,318
Nobody will fuck with you.
2484
01:35:51,204 --> 01:35:52,490
Nobody will stiff you.
2485
01:35:56,542 --> 01:36:01,207
I appreciate the offer,
but really, I'm fine.
2486
01:36:01,297 --> 01:36:03,459
I don't carry
a big debt sheet.
2487
01:36:03,549 --> 01:36:04,960
I feel safe.
2488
01:36:05,051 --> 01:36:06,292
Ah, you lied just then.
2489
01:36:07,095 --> 01:36:09,553
When you said you don't
carry a big debt sheet.
2490
01:36:09,639 --> 01:36:11,801
You've got $2.8 million
on the street right now,
2491
01:36:11,891 --> 01:36:13,223
right as
we're sitting here.
2492
01:36:13,309 --> 01:36:14,550
We do our research.
2493
01:36:15,103 --> 01:36:16,890
That money should be
in your hands,
2494
01:36:16,980 --> 01:36:18,221
'cause it's yours.
2495
01:36:18,606 --> 01:36:19,847
It's yours.
2496
01:36:20,858 --> 01:36:21,939
And if you don't have it,
2497
01:36:22,026 --> 01:36:24,143
you got to go into your
pocket to pay the wins.
2498
01:36:26,072 --> 01:36:27,483
Fellas, I'm sorry,
2499
01:36:28,157 --> 01:36:30,490
it's just a friendly game
with higher stakes.
2500
01:36:31,035 --> 01:36:32,651
It was really nice
to meet you though.
2501
01:36:32,745 --> 01:36:34,987
Let me know if there's ever
anything I can do for you.
2502
01:36:35,456 --> 01:36:36,742
I like to do favors.
2503
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:38,832
They'll put your drinks
on my card.
2504
01:36:40,086 --> 01:36:41,452
There are some gaps
in my memory,
2505
01:36:41,587 --> 01:36:42,794
which they say is common
2506
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,293
when you've had what's called
an event. For instance,
2507

I don't remember
where I was coming from
2508
01:36:47,010 --> 01:36:48,421
when I walked
into my building.
2509
01:36:48,511 --> 01:36:50,969
Just that my doorman, Reggie,
said he had packages for me.
2510
01:36:51,055 --> 01:36:52,045
Ms. Bloom. I think
I got some things for you
2511
01:36:52,140 --> 01:36:53,130
in the package room.
2512
01:36:53,224 --> 01:36:54,214
I'll bring them on up.
Thanks.
2513
01:36:54,309 --> 01:36:55,925

of two weeks off

for Christmas and New Year's,

bath and try not to take drugs.

with my packages.

they made.

01:41:39,927 --> 01:41:41,714
or they were in custody.
2572
01:41:42,179 --> 01:41:44,216
Sometimes God
happens fast.
2573
01:41:46,892 --> 01:41:48,133
My face had healed enough
2574
01:41:48,227 --> 01:41:49,934
so that a little makeup
would cover the bruises
2575
01:41:50,021 --> 01:41:51,387
that were left.
2576
01:41:52,732 --> 01:41:54,519
I put together a week
of games.
2577
01:41:55,067 --> 01:41:58,151
One week of games to get
the $2.8 million I was owed,
2578
01:41:58,237 --> 01:41:59,398
and then I was out.
2579
01:41:59,488 --> 01:42:00,899
I was done.
2580
01:42:01,157 --> 01:42:03,524
One week of
epic games.
2581
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,197
I had some of
my London players in town,
2582
01:42:06,287 --> 01:42:08,825
and the Russians had
visiting friends from Moscow.
2583
01:42:08,914 --> 01:42:11,531
Jesse and Shelby had already
started the game at the Plaza
2584
01:42:11,626 --> 01:42:13,913
and were reporting
heavy early action.
2585
01:42:14,211 --> 01:42:16,168
I was on my way
when the phone rang.
2586
01:42:16,255 --> 01:42:18,247
(PHONE RINGING)
It was Douglas Downey.
2587
01:42:20,134 --> 01:42:21,500
I'm on my way, Doug.
2588
01:42:22,011 --> 01:42:23,422
DOUG: Wait, Molly.
2589
01:42:23,512 --> 01:42:24,628
Wait.
2590
01:42:24,722 --> 01:42:26,634
I'm hiding in
the bathroom. I just...
2591
01:42:26,724 --> 01:42:28,465
I need you to believe me,
okay? I just...
2592
01:42:28,559 --> 01:42:29,549
Whose bathroom?
2593
01:42:29,644 --> 01:42:30,760
I need you to believe me
because...
2594
01:42:30,853 --> 01:42:32,936
At the suite,
at the Plaza.
2595
01:42:33,022 --> 01:42:34,558
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2596
01:42:34,649 --> 01:42:37,357
I would never tell them
anything about you.
2597
01:42:37,443 --> 01:42:39,685
I said, "Guys, you want
me to go further,
2598
01:42:39,779 --> 01:42:42,692
"you want me to go
other places, I'll do it.
2599
01:42:42,782 --> 01:42:44,819
"But nothing about Molly.
2600
01:42:44,909 --> 01:42:46,116
"She can't be touched.
2601
01:42:46,202 --> 01:42:47,318
"Just the Russians."
2602
01:42:47,411 --> 01:42:48,777
Okay, you're drunk
2603
01:42:48,871 --> 01:42:50,954
and a little difficult
to understand,
2604
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,747
so I'll see you in a few
minutes when I get there.
2605
01:42:52,833 --> 01:42:54,074
I was, uh...
2606
01:42:54,585 --> 01:42:55,792
I was...
2607
01:42:56,379 --> 01:42:57,369
Uh...
2608
01:42:59,215 --> 01:43:02,208
I was cited
for securities fraud.
2609
01:43:02,301 --> 01:43:03,667
It was scrubbed
from my record.
2610
01:43:03,761 --> 01:43:04,797
That's why you
don't know.
2611
01:43:04,929 --> 01:43:06,465
Did you say
"securities fraud"?
2612
01:43:06,555 --> 01:43:08,342
I would never help them
build a case against you.
2613
01:43:08,432 --> 01:43:11,971
I would have never give
them anything against you.
2614
01:43:12,061 --> 01:43:14,303
I'd commit perjury
before I did that.
2615
01:43:14,689 --> 01:43:17,102
It was such bullshit.
It was 2006...
2616
01:43:17,191 --> 01:43:19,308
If you'd had an arrest,
I would have known.
2617
01:43:19,402 --> 01:43:21,109
It was bullshit.
Doug.
2618
01:43:21,195 --> 01:43:23,027
I told them
I'll go further,
2619
01:43:23,114 --> 01:43:26,152
I'll go other places,
but not you.
2620
01:43:26,242 --> 01:43:28,154
I love you, I love...
2621
01:43:28,244 --> 01:43:30,611
Doug, listen, I need you to
pull it together for a second.
2622
01:43:30,705 --> 01:43:33,197
Did they scrub your record
because you've been informing?
2623
01:43:33,290 --> 01:43:35,373
Should I...
Should I have told you?
2624
01:43:35,501 --> 01:43:36,537
(PHONE CHIMES)
2625
01:43:36,669 --> 01:43:38,911
That's a question that'll...
That'll haunt me for all my...
2626
01:43:39,004 --> 01:43:40,870
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2627
01:43:40,965 --> 01:43:42,501
For my days, Molly.
2628
01:43:42,717 --> 01:43:45,710
Always know that
I was trying to protect you.
2629
01:43:47,012 --> 01:43:49,629
MOLLY: Five blocks away,
the FBI had raided my game.
2630
01:44:08,617 --> 01:44:10,153
I fully expected the lobby
to be filled
2631
01:44:10,244 --> 01:44:12,236
with guys wearing
windbreakers, but it wasn't.
2632
01:44:12,329 --> 01:44:13,661
REGGIE: Ms. Bloom. Haven't
seen you for a while.
2633
01:44:13,748 --> 01:44:14,738
Yeah.
2634
01:44:14,832 --> 01:44:16,164
You need a cab?
2635
01:44:22,339 --> 01:44:24,296
I guess you never made it
upstairs with the packages.
2636
01:44:25,342 --> 01:44:27,334
Maybe I didn't tip you
enough before Christmas.
2637
01:44:31,515 --> 01:44:32,756
HARRISON:
Then you got into a cab,
2638
01:44:32,850 --> 01:44:33,931
took the cab to JFK,
2639
01:44:34,018 --> 01:44:35,225
and flew to your mother's
house in Denver.
2640
01:44:35,352 --> 01:44:36,433
MOLLY: Telluride.
2641
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,637
My mother lives
in Telluride.
2642
01:44:38,731 --> 01:44:40,848
That was two years ago.
Mmm-hmm.
2643
01:44:40,941 --> 01:44:42,307
In the cab on the way
to the airport,
2644
01:44:42,401 --> 01:44:44,188
I checked my bank
account balance.
2645
01:44:44,278 --> 01:44:46,270
There should've been
a little over $4 million,
2646
01:44:46,363 --> 01:44:48,730
but instead, it said
the balance was zero,
2647
01:44:48,824 --> 01:44:50,031
and there was a note
telling me
2648
01:44:50,117 --> 01:44:51,483
to contact
the Justice Department.
2649
01:44:51,577 --> 01:44:52,988
I just want to mention
that she also
2650
01:44:53,078 --> 01:44:55,570
voluntarily checked herself
into 28-day rehab
2651
01:44:55,664 --> 01:44:57,701
and has been sober
and clean for two years.
2652
01:44:57,792 --> 01:44:58,782
I don't care.
2653
01:44:58,876 --> 01:44:59,866
Were the women that
worked for you call girls?
2654
01:45:00,753 --> 01:45:01,789
No, sir.
2655
01:45:01,879 --> 01:45:03,120
BRENNAN: They never exchanged
sex for money?
2656
01:45:03,214 --> 01:45:04,204
No.
2657
01:45:04,298 --> 01:45:05,539
Have you ever exchanged sex for money?
2658
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:06,623
No.
2659
01:45:06,717 --> 01:45:07,924
I think he was
talking to me.
2660
01:45:08,010 --> 01:45:10,377
I meant, "No, she's not
answering that question."
2661
01:45:10,471 --> 01:45:11,837
The purpose of
this meeting...
2662
01:45:11,931 --> 01:45:13,547
I know.
We're off the record.
2663
01:45:13,641 --> 01:45:14,631
We're not off the record.
2664
01:45:14,725 --> 01:45:15,806
Do you see
a stenographer in here?
2665
01:45:15,893 --> 01:45:17,850
We're off the record in as
much as there is no record,
2666
01:45:17,937 --> 01:45:19,519
but you're free to use the
information you're given,
2667
01:45:19,605 --> 01:45:21,312
and we're not giving
the information for free.
2668
01:45:21,398 --> 01:45:23,936
I've been sitting
at this table for five hours,
2669
01:45:24,026 --> 01:45:25,483
waiting for
the opportunity
2670
01:45:25,569 --> 01:45:27,777
to implore you
to do the right thing
2671
01:45:27,863 --> 01:45:29,946
while begging my client
for the last three weeks
2672
01:45:30,032 --> 01:45:31,773
to act in her own
best interest.
2673
01:45:31,867 --> 01:45:34,029
Neither of those things
should be hard.
2674
01:45:34,119 --> 01:45:36,281
The purpose of this meeting
is for you to meet Molly Bloom
2675
01:45:36,372 --> 01:45:37,704
and discover, as I have,
2676
01:45:37,790 --> 01:45:39,952
that she's not the person
the press has invented.
2677
01:45:40,042 --> 01:45:41,158
She's not under
Federal indictment
2678
01:45:41,252 --> 01:45:42,618
for getting bad press,
Charlie,
2679
01:45:42,711 --> 01:45:44,202
and the purpose of
the meeting, for me,
2680
01:45:44,296 --> 01:45:46,629
is to discover if your
client is willing to cooperate
2681
01:45:46,715 --> 01:45:49,128
with the government in
putting away some bad people.
2682
01:45:49,468 --> 01:45:50,549
No.
2683
01:45:50,636 --> 01:45:51,717
You're not willing
to cooperate?
2684
01:45:51,804 --> 01:45:54,763
No, I've never traded
sex for money.
2685
01:45:56,016 --> 01:45:57,507
I'm still not sure
if there's a record,
2686
01:45:57,601 --> 01:45:58,717
but if there is,
2687
01:45:58,811 --> 01:46:01,178
I want it to be certain
that was in it.
2688
01:46:01,939 --> 01:46:04,056
It appears to me throughout
your career as a game runner,
2689
01:46:04,149 --> 01:46:05,230
you were
extremely diligent
2690
01:46:05,317 --> 01:46:06,808
about vetting players.
I was.
2691
01:46:06,902 --> 01:46:08,268
But you let four guys
play in the game
2692
01:46:08,362 --> 01:46:09,648
without knowing
they were connected?
2693
01:46:09,738 --> 01:46:12,446
Yeah, plus an FBI informant,
it's embarrassing.
2694
01:46:19,665 --> 01:46:24,626
I was high at the end
and doing my job badly.
2695
01:46:25,546 --> 01:46:27,788
I'll also add that
in my limited experience
2696
01:46:27,882 --> 01:46:29,089
with the Russian mob,
2697
01:46:29,174 --> 01:46:31,917
they don't immediately
present themselves as mobsters.
2698
01:46:33,554 --> 01:46:35,170
My experience
with the Italian mob
2699
01:46:35,264 --> 01:46:36,846
on the other hand...
HARRISON: Help us.
2700
01:46:38,267 --> 01:46:39,803
I don't know anything
that can help you.
2701
01:46:39,894 --> 01:46:40,975
Yes.
MOLLY: And if I did...
2702
01:46:41,061 --> 01:46:42,597
Yes, you do.
You can provide color.
2703
01:46:42,688 --> 01:46:43,678
You can paint
a picture.
2704
01:46:43,772 --> 01:46:44,888
You can tell us
Druzhinsky wore
2705
01:46:44,982 --> 01:46:47,440
a $100,000 Patek Philippe
and drove a Phantom.
2706
01:46:47,526 --> 01:46:49,233
You can tell us Illya Gershen showed up
2707
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,061
with a quarter million
dollars cash in a backpack,
2708
01:46:51,196 --> 01:46:52,357
and you can tell us
how much action
2709
01:46:52,489 --> 01:46:53,900
Shelly was taking on
a sports bet.
2710
01:46:54,033 --> 01:46:56,650
No one was allowed to place
sports bets inside the room.
2711
01:46:56,744 --> 01:46:57,825
They would have
to go outside.
2712
01:46:58,203 --> 01:46:59,865
So I had no idea
2713
01:46:59,997 --> 01:47:01,784
how much anyone
was taking or laying.
2714
01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:03,202
So, now you're saying
you knew
2715
01:47:03,334 --> 01:47:04,700
they were making
and taking sports bets?
2716
01:47:04,877 --> 01:47:06,869
No. That's the point
of them going outside.
2717
01:47:06,962 --> 01:47:08,828
They could have been calling
their mother for all I knew.
2718
01:47:08,923 --> 01:47:10,164
HARRISON: Molly.
Yes, sir?
2719
01:47:10,758 --> 01:47:11,919
I don't believe you.
2720
01:47:13,469 --> 01:47:15,711
In Mike Davidoff's phone
intercepts alone,
2721
01:47:15,804 --> 01:47:18,547
just Davidoff, your
name comes up 19 times.
2722
01:47:18,807 --> 01:47:20,719
"We need Molly..." "Get
Molly..." "Bring Molly."
2723
01:47:20,851 --> 01:47:22,513
It strongly suggests
you were important
2724
01:47:22,603 --> 01:47:23,810
to his business,
so it's hard for me
2725
01:47:23,896 --> 01:47:25,762
to believe that someone
with your savvy
2726
01:47:25,856 --> 01:47:26,972
and obvious
intellect...
2727
01:47:27,066 --> 01:47:28,273
They're talking
about the drug.
2728
01:47:29,944 --> 01:47:30,980
"Get molly..."
"Bring molly..."
2729
01:47:31,195 --> 01:47:33,152
"We need molly..." It's...
2730
01:47:33,864 --> 01:47:35,947
They're talking about
the drug ecstasy.
2731
01:47:36,867 --> 01:47:37,903
(CHARLIE LAUGHS)
2732
01:47:37,993 --> 01:47:41,031
Shit. My office is next
to yours for two years,
2733
01:47:41,121 --> 01:47:43,454
and I've seen you make
some boneheaded moves,
2734
01:47:43,540 --> 01:47:45,623
but I've never seen
any prosecutor
2735
01:47:45,709 --> 01:47:48,122
step in it the way
you just did.
2736
01:47:48,462 --> 01:47:49,623
You should thank
all of the gods
2737
01:47:49,713 --> 01:47:51,500
that there's no physical
evidence of that exchange.
2738
01:47:51,590 --> 01:47:53,047
HARRISON: Hey, look...
No, you look...
2739
01:47:53,133 --> 01:47:54,999
What, are you going to implore
me to do the right thing?
2740
01:47:55,094 --> 01:47:57,882
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment.
2741
01:47:57,972 --> 01:47:59,713
Are you out of your minds?
2742
01:48:00,265 --> 01:48:03,178
She does not belong
in a mob indictment.
2743
01:48:03,268 --> 01:48:05,134
She raked a game,
that's it,
2744
01:48:05,229 --> 01:48:06,720
for seven months,
two years ago.
2745
01:48:06,814 --> 01:48:09,397
And why? Because she was
giving credit in the millions,
2746
01:48:09,483 --> 01:48:11,975
and she didn't want to use
muscle to collect.
2747
01:48:12,361 --> 01:48:14,648
She has had opportunity
after opportunity
2748
01:48:14,738 --> 01:48:16,821
to greatly
benefit herself
2749
01:48:16,907 --> 01:48:19,945
by just telling the real
stories that she knows. Okay?
2750
01:48:20,035 --> 01:48:23,119
I have the forensic
imaging going back to 2007.
2751
01:48:23,205 --> 01:48:25,618
And I'm talking about
text messages, emails,
2752
01:48:25,708 --> 01:48:27,825

athletes,

some married with kids,
2755
01:48:30,879 --> 01:48:32,245
and that's just the tip
of the iceberg.
2756
01:48:32,339 --> 01:48:34,456
What about the guy
that comes this close
2757
01:48:34,550 --> 01:48:36,416
to being the U. S. Ambassador to Monaco?
2758
01:48:36,510 --> 01:48:38,001
He's withdrawn
from consideration
2759
01:48:38,095 --> 01:48:40,508
at the last minute,
no one knows why.
2760
01:48:40,889 --> 01:48:42,050
She does.

CEOs with college-age
mistresses, an SVP
2762
01:48:45,185 --> 01:48:46,346
of an investment bank
2763
01:48:46,437 --> 01:48:48,850
who wanted Molly to put
a marked deck in a game.
2764
01:48:48,939 --> 01:48:50,521
The head of a movie studio
that texted her
2765
01:48:50,607 --> 01:48:51,643
that a particular
movie star
2766
01:48:51,734 --> 01:48:53,521
was too black
for his liking.
2767
01:48:53,610 --> 01:48:57,445
I mean, J. Edgar Hoover didn't
have this much shit on Bobby.
2768
01:48:57,906 --> 01:48:59,442
You know, she could
have written
2769
01:48:59,533 --> 01:49:01,115
a bestseller
and been set for life.
2770
01:49:01,201 --> 01:49:02,408
Easy, she's got the...
2771
01:49:02,494 --> 01:49:03,655
She's got the winning lottery ticket,
2772
01:49:03,746 --> 01:49:07,114
and she won't
cash it. (SIGHS)

every dollar she has
2774

in a Constitutionally
fucked-up seizure,
2775
01:49:12,629 --> 01:49:15,212

her to tax what you seized?

I've been in those strategy meetings.
2778

You broke her back
2779
01:49:19,386 --> 01:49:21,878
so she couldn't possibly
afford to defend herself.
2780
01:49:21,972 --> 01:49:24,555
And now she has an opportunity
to guarantee her freedom
2781
01:49:24,641 --> 01:49:27,725
by "providing color,"
and she still won't do it.
2782

This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment,

to do the right thing.

about the three Petes.

01:56:23,977 --> 01:56:26,390
you'd have owned
a law firm by now.
2912
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:29,348
Why did you do the other thing instead?
2913
01:56:29,941 --> 01:56:31,102
I don't know.
2914
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:33,441
Drugs.
2915
01:56:34,654 --> 01:56:36,566
You didn't start with
the drugs until the end.
2916
01:56:36,656 --> 01:56:38,898
They weren't the problem,
they were the medicine.
2917
01:56:39,910 --> 01:56:42,823
It was so you could
control powerful men.
2918
01:56:45,957 --> 01:56:49,826
Your addiction was having
power over powerful men.
2919
01:56:54,466 --> 01:56:55,456
Is that what
you really think?
2920
01:56:55,550 --> 01:56:56,540
No.
2921
01:56:57,010 --> 01:56:58,251
I know it for sure.
2922
01:56:58,470 --> 01:57:00,962
You've now completed your
first year of therapy.
2923
01:57:01,431 --> 01:57:03,423
I saw an opportunity.
It wasn't about you.
2924
01:57:03,517 --> 01:57:05,179
Nah, it wasn't just
about me.
2925
01:57:05,268 --> 01:57:07,430
It wasn't at all about you. It was.
2926
01:57:09,105 --> 01:57:11,313
Second year,
second question.
2927
01:57:14,569 --> 01:57:16,561
Do you think
you were a good husband?
2928
01:57:16,696 --> 01:57:17,857
What do you care?
2929
01:57:17,989 --> 01:57:19,730
I care because you were
married to my mother.
2930
01:57:19,824 --> 01:57:21,907
I care because
my father's an asshole.
2931
01:57:21,993 --> 01:57:25,031
Congratulations. You've
completed year two.
2932
01:57:25,455 --> 01:57:27,492
And for the record, your
father raised three kids
2933
01:57:27,582 --> 01:57:29,039
on a college professor's
salary.
2934
01:57:29,417 --> 01:57:31,409
One of them is
a two-time Olympian,
2935
01:57:31,795 --> 01:57:33,002
a sixth-round draft pick
2936
01:57:33,129 --> 01:57:35,917
of the Philadelphia Eagles,
and a leading philanthropist.
2937
01:57:36,883 --> 01:57:38,715
The other is
a cardiothoracic surgeon
2938
01:57:38,802 --> 01:57:40,839
at Mass General,
and the third

than her wits.

I'm about to plead guilty
in Federal court.
2942

Well, nobody's perfect.
2943
01:57:52,023 --> 01:57:54,106
The point is,
I did a few things right.
2944
01:57:54,859 --> 01:57:56,100
Last question.
2945
01:57:56,403 --> 01:57:57,860
No. I have to go.
2946
01:57:57,946 --> 01:57:58,982
Last question, Mol.
2947
01:57:59,072 --> 01:58:01,029
I'll answer it,
but you have to ask it.
2948
01:58:04,661 --> 01:58:07,404
You have to ask it.
2949
01:58:18,008 --> 01:58:20,091
Why didn't you like me
as much as my brothers?
2950
01:58:20,719 --> 01:58:21,960
There it is.

2952
01:58:24,931 --> 01:58:26,092
I did.
2953
01:58:27,934 --> 01:58:30,802
It only from time to time
appeared that I didn't.
2954
01:58:31,730 --> 01:58:33,596
It only appeared that
you didn't?
2955
01:58:33,690 --> 01:58:34,680
Yeah.

01:58:41,114 --> 01:58:43,356
Okay, I had an attitude problem.

I talked back.
2960

(SNIFFLES) I broke some
normal adolescent rules.
2961

I snuck phone time
after curfew.
2962
01:58:50,915 --> 01:58:51,996
I took your car when
I wasn't allowed to...
2963
01:58:52,083 --> 01:58:53,574
You drove it
into a McDonald's.
2964
01:58:53,668 --> 01:58:55,125
And kids get punished
for that, but they don't...
2965
01:58:55,211 --> 01:58:56,452
Did you not see
the McDonald's?
2966
01:58:56,546 --> 01:58:58,754
Did you misunderstand
what drive-thru meant?
2967

You turn into
a different person,

2969
01:59:01,134 --> 01:59:02,500
It was because
I knew you knew.
2970
01:59:04,804 --> 01:59:06,261
I didn't hear
what you said.
2971

I said, I knew you knew.

about the following concepts?

It is a trap.

01:59:19,569 --> 01:59:21,481
That I was cheating
on Mom.

It is a joke.

LARRY: No, you've known since
you were five.
2982
01:59:34,959 --> 01:59:36,325
You saw me in my car,
2983
01:59:36,419 --> 01:59:38,081
and you really didn't know what you saw.
2984
01:59:41,132 --> 01:59:42,919
I don't have any heroes.

And I knew you knew.
And that's...

That's how I reacted
to the shame.
2988
01:59:54,771 --> 01:59:59,391
And you reacted by showing
seething contempt for me.

you'd gotten beaten up
until I read it in your book.

to learn about it.

Is that why they took it
in the first place?

offer it back to me?

voluntarily handing it over.

voluntary anymore

is prison.

02:04:40,765 --> 02:04:42,427
Hey, when a rich guy goes to jail,
3083
02:04:42,517 --> 02:04:43,598
he spreads his
money around.
3084
02:04:43,685 --> 02:04:45,802
His lawyer knows how
to take care of that.
3085
02:04:45,895 --> 02:04:49,059
He spreads his money
around. You don't have any.
3086
02:04:49,148 --> 02:04:51,856
The composition of female
inmates in Federal prison...
3087
02:04:51,943 --> 02:04:54,060
They did not commit
financial crimes!
3088
02:04:54,153 --> 02:04:55,189
They're drug dealers!
3089
02:04:55,279 --> 02:04:57,566
They get raped
by prison guards, you...
3090
02:04:58,324 --> 02:04:59,860
You will not be
anonymous, Molly.
3091
02:04:59,951 --> 02:05:01,533
You will be a target.
3092
02:05:01,619 --> 02:05:03,702
Children will read their
fathers' text messages saying
3093
02:05:03,788 --> 02:05:06,201
he wished he'd never
had kids.
3094
02:05:06,666 --> 02:05:08,658
These guys... These
guys, where are they?
3095
02:05:08,835 --> 02:05:11,168
Why are you in this alone?
Where are your friends?
3096
02:05:11,254 --> 02:05:12,870
Where is the one
guy saying,
3097
02:05:12,964 --> 02:05:14,830
"Hey, Molly, I know
you're doing everything
3098
02:05:14,966 --> 02:05:16,673
"to save my life, what can I do for you?
3099
02:05:16,759 --> 02:05:18,751
"Let me buy you a sandwich."
Where are they, Molly?
3100
02:05:18,845 --> 02:05:20,336
You kept their
secrets.
3101
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:21,637
Where are the people
you're protecting
3102
02:05:21,723 --> 02:05:23,635
by not telling the whole
story in the book?
3103
02:05:23,725 --> 02:05:25,261
By settling
the Brad Marion suit.
3104
02:05:25,351 --> 02:05:27,809
By not taking $5 million
of your own money.
3105
02:05:27,937 --> 02:05:29,098
By going to jail.
3106
02:05:29,188 --> 02:05:30,429
Where did everybody go?
3107
02:05:30,523 --> 02:05:32,856
It's not their names
I'm protecting, Charlie.
3108
02:05:32,942 --> 02:05:33,978
It's mine.
3109
02:05:34,068 --> 02:05:35,104
Oh, that's great.
3110
02:05:35,194 --> 02:05:36,981
Well, we don't have
the luxury of integrity.
3111
02:05:37,071 --> 02:05:38,357
You have to take
the deal.
3112
02:05:38,781 --> 02:05:40,147
No.
You stay out of jail,
3113
02:05:40,241 --> 02:05:41,277
you get your money back,
3114
02:05:41,367 --> 02:05:42,699
you pay your debts,
you start a new life.
3115
02:05:42,785 --> 02:05:43,866
No.
3116
02:05:43,953 --> 02:05:45,114
Is this self-imposed punishment
3117
02:05:45,204 --> 02:05:46,536
for naming four guys
in a book?
3118
02:05:46,622 --> 02:05:47,658
It's not.
3119
02:05:47,749 --> 02:05:48,830
You didn't do
anything wrong.
3120
02:05:48,916 --> 02:05:51,954
I threw four people under
the bus for $35,000, Charlie.
3121
02:05:52,045 --> 02:05:53,786
I noticed you kept that out of
your speech to the prosecutor.
3122
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:54,870
No, don't do that
to me.
3123
02:05:54,964 --> 02:05:56,296
I took advantage
of gambling addicts.
3124
02:05:56,424 --> 02:05:58,757
Donnie Silverman,
my brilliant find.
3125
02:05:58,843 --> 02:05:59,833
Molly, stop.
3126
02:05:59,927 --> 02:06:01,213
He lost $6 million
on my table,
3127
02:06:01,304 --> 02:06:04,843
moved to Florida, got a
job as a substitute teacher,
3128
02:06:04,974 --> 02:06:06,055
then hanged himself
in his shower!
3129
02:06:06,142 --> 02:06:07,223
Oh, and that's
your fault?
3130
02:06:07,310 --> 02:06:08,676
That's not your fault!
Donnie Silverman's dead!
3131
02:06:08,770 --> 02:06:11,638
Harlan Eustice is in jail
in Nevada, wishing he was.
3132
02:06:11,731 --> 02:06:13,222
But that's not why
I'm saying no.
3133
02:06:13,316 --> 02:06:14,432
You're not saying no.
3134
02:06:14,525 --> 02:06:15,857
I was named after
my great-grandmother.
3135
02:06:15,943 --> 02:06:18,606
I don't care. Molly
Dubin Bloom is my name.
3136
02:06:18,696 --> 02:06:20,028
We will stay here all night
until you understand...
3137
02:06:20,156 --> 02:06:22,148
Until you understand
nobody gives a shit
3138
02:06:22,241 --> 02:06:23,322
about your good name!
3139
02:06:23,409 --> 02:06:24,991
I do!
Why?
3140
02:06:25,078 --> 02:06:26,614
Because...
Why?
3141
02:06:26,704 --> 02:06:27,945
Because.
Tell me why!
3142
02:06:28,039 --> 02:06:30,247
Because it's all
I have left!
3143
02:06:31,793 --> 02:06:33,580
Because it's my name.
3144
02:06:37,590 --> 02:06:40,833
And I'll never
have another.
3145
02:06:45,556 --> 02:06:47,843
Now you read
The Crucible?
3146
02:06:48,601 --> 02:06:51,059
Yeah. Everyone's right, it's great.
3147
02:06:51,145 --> 02:06:52,306
It is great.
3148
02:07:00,196 --> 02:07:01,687
I want to go
into that courtroom
3149
02:07:04,075 --> 02:07:05,111
and plead guilty.
3150
02:07:06,119 --> 02:07:08,577
No deals.
No trades.
3151
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:15,496
And you're
very sure?
3152
02:07:16,754 --> 02:07:17,835
Yes.
3153
02:07:20,633 --> 02:07:21,874
BAILIFF: All rise.
3154
02:07:22,385 --> 02:07:24,718
MOLLY: The business
of the court began.
3155
02:07:25,263 --> 02:07:27,846
We stood for the Honorable
Judge Dustin Foxman,
3156
02:07:28,558 --> 02:07:30,345
and counsel entered
their names for the record.
3157
02:07:30,434 --> 02:07:32,221
Assistant U. S. Attorney
Harrison Wellstone
3158
02:07:32,353 --> 02:07:33,389
for the Southern District
of New York.
3159
02:07:33,479 --> 02:07:34,515
MOLLY:
The docket was called...
3160
02:07:34,605 --> 02:07:35,846
Docket number
10095-13CR268.
3161
02:07:35,940 --> 02:07:37,397
...and some pro forma
instructions
3162
02:07:37,483 --> 02:07:38,724
were given to counsel.
3163
02:07:38,901 --> 02:07:40,517
And I was asked
a series of questions
3164
02:07:40,611 --> 02:07:41,897
from a script the judge had in
front of him. What is your full name?
3165
02:07:41,988 --> 02:07:43,445
Molly Dubin Bloom.
3166
02:07:43,573 --> 02:07:44,654
How old are you?
3167
02:07:44,740 --> 02:07:47,153
Have you taken any
drugs, medicine, or pills,
3168
02:07:47,243 --> 02:07:49,951
or had any alcoholic
beverages in the past 48 hours?
3169
02:07:50,037 --> 02:07:51,027
Sudafed.
3170
02:07:51,122 --> 02:07:52,613
Is there anything
about the reasons
3171
02:07:52,707 --> 02:07:53,697
for you taking Sudafed
3172
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,373
that would interfere with
what's going on here today?
3173
02:07:55,459 --> 02:07:57,371
MOLLY: Eighty-seven questions
he was required to ask
3174
02:07:57,461 --> 02:07:58,952
before he'd permit me
to plead guilty.
3175
02:07:59,046 --> 02:08:00,253
JUDGE FOXMAN: Is your mind
clear today, Ms. Bloom?
3176
02:08:00,339 --> 02:08:01,329
It is.
3177
02:08:01,424 --> 02:08:02,915
Do you understand what's
going on here today?
3178
02:08:03,009 --> 02:08:03,999
I do.
3179
02:08:04,093 --> 02:08:06,005
Under the Constitution and
laws of the United States,
3180
02:08:06,095 --> 02:08:08,462
you have a right to plead to
the charges in the indictment.
3181
02:08:08,556 --> 02:08:10,673
Do you understand that?
Yes, Your Honor.
3182
02:08:10,766 --> 02:08:12,632
And do you understand that? Yes, sir.
3183
02:08:12,727 --> 02:08:15,640
At that trial, you would
be presumed to be innocent
3184
02:08:15,730 --> 02:08:17,813
and would not have to prove
that you were innocent.
3185
02:08:17,899 --> 02:08:19,060
Do you understand that?
3186
02:08:19,150 --> 02:08:20,140
Yes, sir.
3187
02:08:20,276 --> 02:08:21,687
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, sir.
3188
02:08:21,777 --> 02:08:24,440
If you plead guilty,
and I accept your plea,
3189
02:08:24,530 --> 02:08:26,442
you will give up
your right to appeal,
3190
02:08:26,532 --> 02:08:29,445
along with all other
rights I've enumerated,
3191
02:08:29,535 --> 02:08:30,651
do you understand?
3192
02:08:30,745 --> 02:08:31,735
Yes, sir.
3193
02:08:31,829 --> 02:08:34,412
Do you understand that
you are charged in count 20
3194
02:08:34,498 --> 02:08:36,660
with operating an
illegal gambling business
3195
02:08:36,751 --> 02:08:38,708
in violation of
Title 18,
3196
02:08:38,836 --> 02:08:42,625
United States Code
Sections 1955 and 2?
3197
02:08:42,715 --> 02:08:43,922
Yes, I understand.
3198
02:08:44,008 --> 02:08:46,375
Understanding everything
you've been told,
3199
02:08:46,469 --> 02:08:48,335
do you now wish
to enter a plea?
3200
02:08:48,429 --> 02:08:49,419
Yes, sir.
3201
02:08:49,513 --> 02:08:51,049
How do you plead
to the charge?
3202
02:08:52,016 --> 02:08:53,382
Guilty, Your Honor.
3203
02:08:54,685 --> 02:08:56,972
Your plea has been
so recorded,
3204
02:08:57,480 --> 02:08:59,016
and you may take
your seat.
3205
02:08:59,649 --> 02:09:01,641
Before we move to the sentencing phase,
3206
02:09:01,734 --> 02:09:03,566
I would like a word
with counsel, please.
3207
02:09:07,031 --> 02:09:08,772
MOLLY: And then
something happened.
3208
02:09:08,866 --> 02:09:11,199
Pardon me, Mr. Jaffey,
just government counsel.
3209
02:09:14,205 --> 02:09:15,366
Yes, sir.
3210
02:09:19,919 --> 02:09:21,376
What's going on?
3211
02:09:22,129 --> 02:09:23,245
(INAUDIBLE)
3212
02:09:23,381 --> 02:09:24,747
What are they doing?
3213
02:09:30,805 --> 02:09:32,046
Wait for it.
3214
02:09:33,182 --> 02:09:34,298
What?
3215
02:09:38,437 --> 02:09:40,474
Will the defendant please
rise for sentencing?
3216
02:09:45,403 --> 02:09:47,395
Based on all available information,
3217
02:09:47,488 --> 02:09:49,775
this court
manifestly disagrees
3218
02:09:49,865 --> 02:09:51,731
with the government's
sentencing recommendation.
3219
02:09:54,161 --> 02:09:55,618
This courthouse is located
3220
02:09:55,705 --> 02:09:57,662
within spitting distance
of Wall Street.
3221
02:09:58,332 --> 02:09:59,948
I know this from my personal experience
3222
02:10:00,042 --> 02:10:01,283
trying to spit at it.
3223
02:10:01,377 --> 02:10:02,743
The men and women
who work there
3224
02:10:02,837 --> 02:10:04,203
will commit
more serious crimes
3225
02:10:04,297 --> 02:10:05,378
by lunchtime today
3226
02:10:05,464 --> 02:10:06,625
than the defendant
has committed
3227
02:10:06,757 --> 02:10:08,168
in this indictment.
3228
02:10:08,259 --> 02:10:10,546
I simply don't see
how either the people
3229
02:10:10,636 --> 02:10:12,127
or the cause of justice
are served
3230
02:10:12,221 --> 02:10:13,803
by locking Molly Bloom
in prison.
3231
02:10:13,889 --> 02:10:14,970
MOLLY: It was as casual
3232
02:10:15,057 --> 02:10:16,593
as if he was ordering
lunch off a menu.
3233
02:10:16,726 --> 02:10:17,887
JUDGE FOXMAN: Ms. Bloom,
3234
02:10:17,977 --> 02:10:19,513
this court sentences you
3235
02:10:19,645 --> 02:10:21,762
to 200 hours
of community service,
3236
02:10:21,856 --> 02:10:24,098
one year of supervised probation,
3237
02:10:24,191 --> 02:10:28,026
drug testing,
and a $200,000 fine.
3238
02:10:28,154 --> 02:10:29,520
This case is adjourned.
3239
02:10:30,698 --> 02:10:32,564
MOLLY: And that was that.
(LAUGHING)
3240
02:10:32,908 --> 02:10:34,194
BOTH: Let's go.
3241
02:10:34,285 --> 02:10:35,776
MOLLY: There was crying
and hugging...
3242
02:10:35,870 --> 02:10:36,860
Proud of you.
3243
02:10:36,954 --> 02:10:38,115
...jokes from my brothers,
3244
02:10:38,205 --> 02:10:41,039
tough talk about how no one
messes with the Blooms,
3245
02:10:41,375 --> 02:10:44,288
and levelheaded talk
about Christmas miracles.
3246
02:10:45,212 --> 02:10:47,670
Steaks and beer bought
by my father,
3247
02:10:48,090 --> 02:10:49,922
and full reenactments.
3248
02:10:50,009 --> 02:10:51,966
And in the middle
of it all,
3249
02:10:52,094 --> 02:10:53,710
as grateful as you are,
3250
02:10:54,347 --> 02:10:57,340
the reality starts creeping
toward you like the tide.
3251
02:10:59,518 --> 02:11:01,976
And that's the first time
you have the thought.
3252
02:11:03,147 --> 02:11:04,604
"What do I do now?"
3253
02:11:05,816 --> 02:11:07,182
OFFICIAL:
We've got a racer down!
3254
02:11:07,276 --> 02:11:08,983
We need a toboggan
and a back board!
3255
02:11:09,070 --> 02:11:10,277
MOLLY: I'm a felon.
3256
02:11:10,363 --> 02:11:13,276
I'm 35 years old,
unemployed,
3257
02:11:13,366 --> 02:11:15,403
and pled guilty
in a mob indictment.
3258
02:11:15,493 --> 02:11:17,029
Make way, people! Make way!
Make way, people!
3259
02:11:17,119 --> 02:11:18,985
Patrol here, move away!
Move away!
3260
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:21,697
MOLLY: I owe the government
close to $2 million in taxes
3261
02:11:21,791 --> 02:11:23,908
assessed
on the civil forfeiture,
3262
02:11:24,001 --> 02:11:25,958
plus a $200,000 fine.
3263
02:11:26,045 --> 02:11:27,627
And you better believe
they're going to come get it.
3264
02:11:27,713 --> 02:11:28,703
OFFICIAL: Clear a path!
3265
02:11:28,798 --> 02:11:30,505
Move back, please! Back!
3266
02:11:30,591 --> 02:11:31,877
I have a quarter
of a million dollars
3267
02:11:31,967 --> 02:11:33,128
in legal bills.
3268
02:11:33,219 --> 02:11:35,506
I don't know what I'd say
in a job interview,
3269
02:11:35,596 --> 02:11:38,384
or if I'll ever be given
a job interview.
3270
02:11:38,849 --> 02:11:40,681
I'll never be allowed
to vote again.
3271
02:11:40,768 --> 02:11:42,350
FEMALE MEDIC: I'm going
to need a set of vitals!
3272
02:11:42,728 --> 02:11:44,185
MOLLY: And for some reason,
3273
02:11:44,271 --> 02:11:46,058
I'm not allowed
to go to Canada.
3274
02:11:47,274 --> 02:11:49,186
(RADIO CHATTER)
Molly, can you hear us?
3275
02:11:49,693 --> 02:11:51,150
Hips are stable.
3276
02:11:51,237 --> 02:11:53,024
Pelvis is stable.
3277
02:11:54,615 --> 02:11:56,481
MALE MEDIC: Her dad's here.
What's her LOA?
3278
02:11:56,575 --> 02:11:57,565
MALE MEDIC:
She's coming around now.
3279
02:11:57,660 --> 02:11:59,071
FEMALE MEDIC: Open your eyes
if you can hear us.
3280
02:11:59,161 --> 02:12:00,948
MEDIC: Okay, she's conscious.
Molly, what day is it?
3281
02:12:01,038 --> 02:12:02,028
FEMALE MEDIC: You need
to stay down, okay?
3282
02:12:02,123 --> 02:12:03,409
You need to go to
a hospital.
3283
02:12:03,499 --> 02:12:04,615
What day?
3284
02:12:05,167 --> 02:12:06,658
Dad, I'm fine.
3285
02:12:06,794 --> 02:12:08,205
MEDIC: Try not to move, Molly.
MOLLY: Let go of my arm.
3286
02:12:08,295 --> 02:12:09,285
LARRY: You trying to
get up, hon?
3287
02:12:09,422 --> 02:12:10,503
MOLLY: Yeah.
She wants to get up.
3288
02:12:10,589 --> 02:12:11,955
COMMENTATOR 1: Our cameras
can't get in there,
3289
02:12:12,091 --> 02:12:13,081
so we don't know...
3290
02:12:13,175 --> 02:12:14,165
COMMENTATOR 2:
I wonder if Tracy's got
3291
02:12:14,260 --> 02:12:15,250
an update for us
on the ground.
3292
02:12:15,344 --> 02:12:17,336
COMMENTATORS: She's moving!
3293
02:12:18,222 --> 02:12:20,009
LARRY: You sure you're good? Yeah.
3294
02:12:20,099 --> 02:12:21,715
Okay, here we go.
3295
02:12:23,519 --> 02:12:24,635
COMMENTATOR 1:
We can see that
3296
02:12:24,728 --> 02:12:26,139
she's being helped
to her feet now.
3297
02:12:26,230 --> 02:12:29,018
Molly Bloom is, of course,
the sister of Jeremy Bloom,
3298
02:12:29,108 --> 02:12:31,691
who holds the world's
number one ranking.
3299
02:12:31,777 --> 02:12:33,188
That's her longtime
coach there,
3300
02:12:33,279 --> 02:12:35,521
Ted Keene, and her
father. (CROWD APPLAUDING)
3301
02:12:36,365 --> 02:12:37,572
COMMENTATOR 2: She came back
from an injury
3302
02:12:37,658 --> 02:12:39,024
when she was just 13.
3303
02:12:40,119 --> 02:12:42,657
You know, you have to wonder
about the psychological toll,
3304
02:12:42,746 --> 02:12:45,363
coming that close, only
to lose it like that.
3305
02:12:47,042 --> 02:12:48,829
MOLLY: Did anything good
come of this?
3306
02:12:49,628 --> 02:12:50,789
Not really.
3307
02:12:54,550 --> 02:12:56,667
But I learned
something encouraging.
3308
02:12:57,386 --> 02:12:58,718
I'm very hard to kill.
3309
02:12:58,804 --> 02:12:59,794
COMMENTATOR 1:
You and I both know
3310
02:12:59,889 --> 02:13:00,970
people who have
never gotten over it.
3311
02:13:01,056 --> 02:13:02,547
COMMENTATOR 2: I don't know
if the young woman
3312
02:13:02,641 --> 02:13:04,052
we've just seen
is one of those people.
3313
02:13:04,143 --> 02:13:05,975
We may not see her ski
competitively again,
3314
02:13:06,061 --> 02:13:07,302
but I think we're going to see her.
3315
02:13:07,396 --> 02:13:09,763
MOLLY: Winston Churchill
defined success as,
3316
02:13:09,857 --> 02:13:12,099
"The ability to move
from failure to failure
3317
02:13:12,193 --> 02:13:13,934
"with no loss
of enthusiasm."
3318
02:13:14,403 --> 02:13:16,895
So, I guess
I'm pot-committed.
3319
02:13:16,989 --> 02:13:17,979
COMMENTATOR 2: She'll be back.
3320
02:13:18,073 --> 02:13:20,440
All right, up next at the
gate is Whitney Summerhill,
3321
02:13:20,534 --> 02:13:22,696
who's currently
in 12th place after...
