MOLLY". A survey was taken
a few years ago
4
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:25,051
that asked 300 professionals
one question,
5
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:27,129
"What's the worst thing
that can happen in sports?"
6

(CHEERING CONTINUES)
7
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:32,892
Some people answered
losing a Game 7.
8
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:35,683
COMMENTATOR: He scores!
Bruins win in seven games!
9
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:40,518
MOLLY: And other people said
getting swept in four.
10
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:45,439
Some people said
it was missing the World Cup.
11
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,570
Guatemala is eliminated!
12
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:52,159
And some Brazilians said
it was losing to Argentina.
13
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:56,287
Not just in the World Cup.
Anytime. Ever. In any contest.
14
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,247
But one person answered
15
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:00,045
that the worst thing
that can happen in sports
16
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,248
is fourth place
at the Olympics.
17
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,841
This is a true story, but,
except for my own,
18
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,130
I've changed all the names
19
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:07,844
and I've done my best
to obscure identities
20
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,762
for reasons
that'll become clear.
21
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,049
I'm Molly Bloom,
22
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,258
and right now Pm ranked third
23
00:02:13,342 --> 00:02:15,765
in North America
in Woman's Moguls.
24
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:17,187
I grew up
in Loveland, Colorado,
25
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:18,889
about two hours
north of Denver.
26
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,224
I have a BA
in Political Science
27
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:22,067
from the University
of Colorado
28
00:02:22,184 --> 00:02:23,777
where I graduated
summa cum laude
29
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,695
with a 3.9 GPA.
30
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:29,571
The median LSAT score
at Harvard Law School is 169.
31
00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:31,531
My score is 173.
32
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,159
Number 87 up! 56 on deck!
33
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:35,989
I've spent 16 years
chasing winter
34
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:37,700
and being coached
by the best in the world.
35
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:40,827
Sundays were for working out
with my father.
36
00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:42,254
Somethings really wrong.
37
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:43,330
When I was 12 years old,
38
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:45,836
for no particular reason,
my back exploded.
39
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:47,008
Tough it out.
40
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,754
Good advice. And
lose the attitude.
41
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:50,837
MOLLY:
Less than ten minutes later,
42
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:52,423
I was in the back
of an ambulance.
43
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:53,883
(SIREN WAILING)
44
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:55,933
I had what's called
rapid-onset scoliosis.
45
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,727
My spine was curved
at 63 degrees,
46
00:02:57,803 --> 00:02:59,646
and Pd need a seven-hour
surgical procedure
47
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:01,564
that involved
straightening my spine,
48
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,689
extracting bone from my hip,
fusing 11 vertebrae together,
49
00:03:04,768 --> 00:03:06,770
and fastening steel rods
to the fused segments.
50
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,105
She's going to be fine.
(GASPS)
51
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:10,907
I wouldn't let her
ski anymore.
52
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:12,450
Definitely not moguls.
53
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,115
And obviously
skiing competitively
54
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,286
is out of the question.
55
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,914
MRS. BLOOM: Fine.
Oh, God, thank you.
56
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:20,789
MOLLY".
I was on skis again in a year,
57
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,210
running moguls in 18 months,
58
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:24,959
and by my 20th birthday
I made the U.S. Ski Team.
59
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,878
It's the last round
of qualifying
60
00:03:26,957 --> 00:03:28,083
for the Salt Lake City
Olympics.
61
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:29,843
This is the champion run
at Deer Valley.
62
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:33,385
The altitude is 8,100 feet
and the pitch is 52 degrees,
63
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:35,306
which is the same as the sides
of the Great Pyramids.
64
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:37,263
The Wind's 20 to 25
miles an hour,
65
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:38,764
blowing left to right.
66
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,097
It's three below zero
at the top of the slope.
67
00:03:41,179 --> 00:03:43,352
And with 17 skiers
in front of me,
68
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:45,105
it's going to be like
trying to stick a landing
69
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:46,730
on a frozen infinity pool.
70
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,062
Kiki blew out of her line.
71
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:50,147
Shannon was off-balance
on her second landing.
72
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:52,525
MOLLY". He's talking about Kiki
Bandy and Shannon Keebler,
73
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,609
my two toughest competitors,
who had significant
74
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:57,409
point deductions
on their final runs.
75
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,205
I can make the Olympic team,
right now.
76
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:00,282
Go get it.
77
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,288
And if I have three
perfect runs in Salt Lake,
78
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,210
the best runs of my life,
79
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:06,004
I can beat
the Austrians and the Swiss
80
00:04:06,538 --> 00:04:08,757
and have a realistic shot
at the podium.
81
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:10,584
Then law school,
and then a startup.
82
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,132
A foundation that seeds
entrepreneurial women.
83
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,672
My father's at the bottom
of the slope,
84
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,679
telepathically telling me
to check my line.
85
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:18,884
Check your line.
86
00:04:18,967 --> 00:04:20,560
I check my line.
87
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:21,636
OFFICIAL: (OVER PA)
Competitor ready?
88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,063
(BEEPING)
89
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:29,186
Good snow contact,
calm upper body,
90
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,863
legs together, good shape,
no line deviation.
91
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,282
Set up for the D-spin and
92
00:04:35,734 --> 00:04:36,986
stick the landing.
93
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:39,614
Now two things you need to
know before the second trick,
94
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:41,289
which will be a 720.
95
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:42,991
The first is that
when visibility is bad
96
00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:44,246
the way it is now,
97
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:46,294
race officials toss pine
boughs on the course
98
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:47,495
so the skiers have some
99
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:48,671
foreground depth reference.
100
00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:51,250
The second is that
the tightness of your bindings
101
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,256
is determined by
what is called a DIN setting.
102
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:54,336
If you're a beginner,
103
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:55,887
your DIN setting
is probably a two or three.
104
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,259
If you're an experienced
weekend skier,
105
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:58,591
it's probably seven or eight.
106
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,220
Mine's 15.
107
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,394
My boots are basically
welded to my skis.
108
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:03,937
Right?
So how does this happen?
109
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:08,350
It happened because
I hit a pine bough
110
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,855
that had become
frozen in the snow.
111
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:12,275
And I hit it so precisely
112
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:14,732
that it simply snapped
the release of my bindings.
113
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:16,158
Right in that moment,
I didn't have time
114
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,860
to calculate the odds
of that happening
115
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,445
because I was about
to land pretty hard
116
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,451
on my digitally re-mastered
spinal cord,
117
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:22,531
which was being held together
118
00:05:22,614 --> 00:05:24,241
by spare parts
from an Erector Set.

MOLLY". None of this has
anything to do with poker.
124
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,551
I'm only mentioning it
because I wanted to
125
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,181
say to whoever answered
that the worst thing
126
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,638
that could happen in sports
was fourth place
127
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,937

00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,561
TOMASINO:
I want you to take a look
169
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,272
at this piece of paper
right here.
170
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:02,107
Can you see
what it says at the top?
171
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:05,276
Yes.
172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,612
Read to me
what it says at the top.
173
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:10,908
The United States of America
vs. Molly Bloom.
174
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:15,579
I bet heavy on the favorite.
175
00:08:18,123 --> 00:08:21,502
LARRY: What do you think
about the following concepts?
176
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:22,961
Just going to
run them by you.
177
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:24,170
Marriage?
178
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,597
It is a trap.
179
00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:28,175
LARRY: Society?
180
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:29,972
It is a joke.
181
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,308
People?
182
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:36,399
I think there's
good and bad.
183
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:39,986
But I don't trust them.
184
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:42,731
I don't trust people.
185
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:44,782
MOLLY:
Every year on our birthdays,
186
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,281
my father would interview
my younger brothers and me.
187
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,788
LARRY: Who are the heroes
or heroines in your life?
188
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,662
Who do you really respect?
189
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,285
I don't have any heroes.
190
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,995
You don't have any heroes?
191
00:08:57,078 --> 00:08:58,705
MOLLY". How's this for hubris?
192
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:00,040
I don't.
193
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:04,003
Because if I reach the goals
I set out for myself,
194
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:07,589
then the person I become,
that'll be my hero.
195
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:09,724
Even by teenage
girl standards,
196
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,551
I would appear to be
irrationally angry
197
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:13,602
at nothing in particular.
198
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:16,101
It would be another 22 years
before I'd find out why.
199
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,776
After my colossal
wipeout at Deer Valley,
200
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:22,445
I decided to take a year off
before law school.
201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,864
I needed to go away,
sever myself from reality,
202
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,236
and come up with a new plan.
203
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,659
So, I chose Los Angeles.
204
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:30,654
A friend of mine
from the ski team
205
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,286
had agreed to let me crash
on a couch for a while.
206
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,454
My father had disapproved
of postponing law school,
207
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,831
and so declined to help out.
208
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:41,381
But I had $1,700 I'd saved
from babysitting money,
209
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:42,457
and that would support me
210
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,634
until I found
a waitressing job.
211
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:47,758
I'd already had a career
and retired from it.
212
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:50,716
I wanted to be young
for a while in warm weather.
213
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,723
I think that's what
I wanted at first.
214
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:54,844
It's hard to remember.
215
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,519
I got a job working bottle
service at a club in Hollywood
216
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,895
called Naclonal nightclub.
217
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,226
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
218
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,232
It was Cuban-themed,
so my uniform
219
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,814
was camouflage short-shorts
and a wife-beater.
220
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:08,358
The promoter would go over
221
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,284
which record producer
was sitting where,
222
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,862
which hot designers,
which Lakers,
223
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,822
and Borislava
the Bulgarian billionaire,
224
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:16,457
who didn't drink,
but he ran a $100,000 bar tab.
225
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:18,409
My job was to get people
226
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:20,120
to spend more money
than they needed to.
227
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,455
Can we get a bottle of Skyy?
228
00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:23,506
You guys look like
you deserve Grey Goose.
229
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,709
What do guys who deserve
Grey Goose look like?
230
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,260
To begin with,
they've got a bottle
231
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:28,507
of Grey Goose
in front of them.
232
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,179
You're quick. Very clever.
233
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,095
All right, yeah.
Grey Goose.
234
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:34,721
They just spent
an additional $300,
235
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,724
bringing their total to $900,
236
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:39,477
for $8.50 worth of vodka.
237
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,190
But the club doesn't need you
to buy a bottle.
238
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,025
They need you
to buy five bottles.
239
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:44,569
So these girls over here,
240
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,271
they let you buy them
shots for a living.
241
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,822
It would be like
waiting in a long line
242
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:48,898
to get into the Gap,
243
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,110
so you can pay
a 1,000% markup
244
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:53,411
to buy all the employees
a pair of pants.
245
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,573
I only had one shift a week.
246
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:57,782
I didn't want
to tell my parents
247
00:10:57,866 --> 00:10:59,493
I was a cocktail waitress.
248
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:00,919
And back then,
I never turned down
249
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,416
an opportunity
to make more money.
250
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,714
So I found a second job
as an office assistant,
251
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,042
and that's how I ended up
working for Dean Keith.
252
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,550
Dean was a partner
in Black Hues Investments.
253
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,639
He was a regular at the club,
and one night he said...
254
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:15,433
People seem to take to you.
255
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,678
How would you like to get paid
to go to grad school
256
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,434
and get an MBA
in how life works?
257
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,311
What makes you think
you know and I don't?
258
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,268
I'm a regular here,
and you're a waitress here.
259
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:26,694
Look at the fuckin'
scoreboard.
260
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,315
MOLLY". Dean explained
what my job was by saying...
261
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:30,444
Me.
262
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,524
I'm your job.
263
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,281
MOLLY: I answered the phone,
made coffee runs,
264
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,203
set appointments,
made spreadsheets.
265
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:37,322
What is that?
266
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:38,406
MOLLY". And showed Dean
what a spreadsheet was.
267
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:39,490
Spreadsheet.
268
00:11:40,074 --> 00:11:42,827
But I made $450 a week
on top of the $300
269
00:11:42,911 --> 00:11:44,208
I was making at the club.
(PHONE RINGING)
270
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:46,289
Which would be enough
to get off my friend's couch.
271
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,671
I remember the day started
by being about bagels.
272
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:50,968
This is Molly...
DEAN: Get to the office.
273
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:52,045
Pick up bagels.
274
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,715
Do you mean now?
275
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,434
Dean was a Hollywood staple.
276
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,895
Over-leveraged. Going broke.
277
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:01,971
Trying to prove
he wasn't broke
278
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:05,025
and making a true effort
to be as vulgar as possible.
279
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:07,527
Honestly making an effort.
280
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:09,320
I hadn't told anyone
I was a skier,
281
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,068
and it was hard not to laugh
when Dean said...
282
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,608
Anyone ever teach you
how to fuckin' hurry?
283
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:13,942
No.
284
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,868
What are those?
Bagels.
285
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:18,451
Are these from Bluebell?
Yeah. It's on the way
286
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:19,655
from my house.
Seriously'?
287
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:23,042
You might as well have stopped
at a fucking homeless shelter.
288
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:24,577
You might as well have walked
289
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:27,005
into a motherfucking
homeless shelter
290
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,502
and said,
"I'd like a dozen bagels
291
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,754
"from this homeless
shelter, please!"
292
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:34,963
I do not eat bagels from
Blue-fucking-bell, Molly,
293
00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:37,720
because these
are poor people bagels!
294
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,226
From where would you like
me to get your bagels?
295
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:41,393
Forget about
the fuckin' bagels.
296
00:12:41,511 --> 00:12:42,854
Done.
Except smarten up.
297
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,306
Got it.
Hang on.
298
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,604
MOLLY". Like I said, the day
started by being about bagels,
299
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:48,901
but that would
abruptly change.
300
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,150
My weekly poker game is
moving to the Cobra Lounge.
301
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:52,856
Tomorrow night, and then
every Tuesday night.
302
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,156
You'll help run it.
303
00:12:54,232 --> 00:12:55,734
Take these names
and numbers
304
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:56,818
and tell them to bring
ten grand in cash
305
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:58,278
for the first buy-in.
306
00:12:58,361 --> 00:13:00,204
The blinds are $50/$100.
307
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,491
And, Molly...
Yeah'?
308
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,333
Don't fucking tell anybody.
309
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:12,875
MOLLY: I'd regarded Dean
310
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,961
as a nitwit
when I regarded him at all,
311
00:13:15,169 --> 00:13:16,637
but on that pad
were nine names,
312
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:18,761
along with phone numbers,
of some of the wealthiest
313
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,138
and most famous people
in the world.
314
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:24,266
I put the numbers in my phone
and composed a simple message.
315
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:25,638
There'd be a game
tomorrow night
316
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:26,723
at the Cobra Lounge,
317
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,683
there was a $10,000 buy-in.
318
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:30,184
(PHONE CHIMES)
319
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,650
AH nine players confirmed
that they'd be there.
320
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:39,570
AH within 90 seconds
of my sending the text.
321
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:41,829
The Cobra Lounge
sits on the edge
322
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:43,326
of the Sunset Strip,
323
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:44,749
and in its heyday was famous
324
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,201
for introducing
unknown bands
325
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,127
like The Doors
and The Beach Boys.
326
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,252
AH I knew
was schoolwork and skiing.
327
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:53,336
I'd always figured
sophistication
328
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,214
would be easy to learn
if I ever needed it.
329
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:57,216
My cheese platter
had a sticker that read
330
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:59,798
"Cheese from the Great State
of Michigan."
331
00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:03,055
Diego, a professional dealer,
332
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,224
was setting up the table
when I got there.
333
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:08,273
I googled, "What type of music
334
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,107
"do poker players
like to listen to?"
335
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,526
And then tried to figure out
how to make a playlist
336
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,695
out of one
Kenny Rogers song.
337
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:15,359
I set up the bar,
338
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,361
put out my cheese platter,
339
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:19,658
and positioned myself
at the door
340
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:20,735
where I'd been instructed
341
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,115
to only let in the names
on the list.
342
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,246
I was wearing my best dress,
343
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:25,574
which I bought
two years earlier
344
00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:27,408
at JCPenney for $88.
345
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:29,877
The players started
to arrive.
346
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,455
I introduced myself as Molly,
Dean's assistant...
347
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,630
MAN: For you.
348
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:36,964
...asked if! could
get them a drink,
349
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,550
and took from each of them
$10,000 in cash.
350
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:47,645
Hi.
Hi.
351
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:49,138
LN'
352
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:53,272
I know.
353
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:54,815
Your boss... (WHISPERING)
Everybody here?
354
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:56,983
Yeah.
Hey, buddy.
355
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,610
Fuck off, I'm going
to own your shit.
356
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,951
Ugly dress. Ugly shoes.
357
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:03,744
Let's play!
358
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:09,287
MOLLY: Diego fanned nine cards
out on the table,
359
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,244
and the players
chose for seats.
360
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,422
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
361
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:28,512
I just finished counting
out $90,000 in cash.
362
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:31,143
I was in a room
with movie stars,
363
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:32,269
directors...
364
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:33,349
HOST:
And the award goes to...
365
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:34,525
MOLLY: ...rappers,
366
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,273
boxers,
367
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:37,945
and business titans.
368
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,695
They were going all in,
all the time,
369
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,194
burning through their
buy-ins over and over.
370
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,453
Here you go. Good luck.
Thank you so much.
371
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:48,038
I don't know...
372
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:52,373
I googled every word I heard
that I didn't know.
373
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:53,624
Flop. River.
374
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:55,917
Fourth Street. Fourth Street.
Tilt. Cooler.
375
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:57,795
Boat. Nuts. MAN: He's
pot-com m itted.
376
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,046
MOLLY". Playing the rush.
377
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:03,546
You keeping track
of the buy-ins?
378
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,597
Yeah.
Where? Where's the paper?
379
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:07,383
Spreadsheet.
380
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,100
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
381
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:19,520
All in.
382
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:23,570
MOLLY: The game ended
at 3:30,
383
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,697
and when it did, that's
when Dean shouted out...
384
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:29,280
Hey! Tip Molly if you want to
get invited back next week.
385
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,620
MOLLY: "Tip Molly."
386
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,160
Deep down, I didn't
like the sound of that.
387
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,086
Thank you so much.
388
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,630
Deep down, I knew that
when your boss says...
389
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,298
And, Molly...
Yeah'?
390
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:40,499
Don't fucking
tell anybody.
391
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:41,709
That's usually
not the beginning
392
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,926
of a promising law career.
393
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:44,049
See you next week.
394
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:48,182
MOLLY: But that was
deep down.
395
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:51,056
I just made $3,000.
396
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:17,745
What are you reading?
397
00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:19,376
The Crucible.
398
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,253
For school?
399
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:22,587
My father assigned it.
400
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:28,427
Do you know how many witches
were burned in Salem?
401
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:30,633
How many?
None.
402
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,889
They didn't burn witches.
It's a myth. They hanged them.
403
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,433
Or drowned them,
404
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:36,185
or crushed them
with heavy rocks.
405
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,314
Wait. Aren't...
You're Molly Bloom, right?
406
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,520
Yeah.
407
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:43,604
You don't look the same
as in your photos.
408
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:45,899
None of us do.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
409
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:49,035
Molly?
Yes.
410
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:50,657
Charlie Jaffey.
411
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:52,405
Thank you again
for seeing me so early.
412
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:54,328
This is my daughter Stella.
We met.
413
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,452
Isabel will be here in 45
minutes to take you to school.
414
00:17:57,535 --> 00:17:58,627
You finish your math?
Yeah.
415
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:00,246
Civ?
Yeah.
416
00:18:00,329 --> 00:18:01,330
Do you know it?
417
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:02,882
Could you teach it
in class today?
418
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,592
If I asked you to
teach me Roman law,
419
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:05,919
could you do it?
420
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,427
Yes.
421
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:08,800
Okay.
422
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:12,096
So, first
things first.
423
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:14,051
When was the last time
you slept? Today's Friday.
424
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,355
Tuesday morning at 5:00 a.m.
I was arrested by the FBI.
425
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,353
I spent Tuesday
in L.A. County Jail.
426
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,979
I was assessed to be a
minimal flight risk
427
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:22,605
and bail was set
at $100,000.
428
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,562
My mother signed over
her house.
429
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,737
I was released on Wednesday
430
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,406
and ordered to appear
in federal court
431
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:30,576
in New York's Southern
District 10:00 a.m. today.
432
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,282
In here.
433
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:34,238
Close that,
will you?
434
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,037
Flew here Wednesday and met
with five attorneys yesterday.
435
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,121
Have a seat.
436
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,207
You didn't hire
any of them?
437
00:18:44,749 --> 00:18:46,251
Three of them had
already been taken.
438
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:48,462
Yeah, 31 people were named
in your indictment.
439
00:18:48,544 --> 00:18:49,670
It's Black Friday
for criminal lawyers.
440
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:50,755
What about the other two?
441
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:52,010
One told me money was
442
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,341
his second favorite form
of payment.
443
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:54,929
I know him.
The fifth was also taken,
444
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:56,261
but he recommended
I call you.
445
00:18:57,053 --> 00:18:58,179
Why? I told him I wanted someone
446
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,730
who'd worked in
the prosecutor's office
447
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,057
and wasn't even
a little bit shady.
448
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,482
Do you know about me?
449
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,568
I've been briefed a little
by my daughter,
450
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,150
who knows a lot
about your story
451
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:11,491
because her mother's
a moron.
452
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,659
Her mother reads
the tabloids?
453
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,658
Yeah. And I read them too.
454
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:16,614
I read your indictment after
I got your call last night,
455
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:18,412
and I bought your book.
456
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,876
I'm only on page 112,
but, Molly,
457
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,828
did you commit a felony, and
then write a book about it?
458
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:24,380
I haven't run a game
in over two years.
459
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,502
Not to spoil the ending,
but that's when
460
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,675
the government raided my game
and took all of my money,
461
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:30,762
assuming all of it was made
illegally, which it wasn't.
462
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,300
I've been living
in my mother's house
463
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:33,848
in Telluride,
464
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:35,011
and I wrote the book
465
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:36,263
so I could start
paying off debts.
466
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:38,519
I just finished the press
tour for the book,
467
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:39,683
and I moved back
to Los Angeles
468
00:19:39,762 --> 00:19:40,809
so I could start over.
469
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:42,431
Hmm.
470
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:45,060
You ran games in L.A.
for roughly eight years?
471
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:46,485
Yeah.
Without taking a rake?
472
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,561
Right.
473
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,363
Then you ran games in New York
for roughly two?
474
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:51,399
I took a rake
the last six months.
475
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:55,237
In the first 112 pages
you name a bunch of names.
476
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:57,279
Sorry?
477
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,706
You named the names
of some movie stars
478
00:19:58,823 --> 00:19:59,824
that played in your game.
479
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:01,875
Yeah.
480
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:04,795
That not against
some sort of poker code?
481
00:20:06,831 --> 00:20:08,128
Am I supposed to be sitting
all the way over here?
482
00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:10,251
Can you hear me from there?
Yeah.
483
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:13,303
Are you taking me
on as a client?
484
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,256
My retainer is $250,000.
485
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,637
Do you have $250,000?
486
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:20,345
No. I don't have anything.
487
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:23,229
What about the sales
from your book?
488
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:25,558
The book isn'tjumping off
the shelves.
489
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,518
But I will find a way
to pay you, Charlie.
490
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:28,648
Ask around about me.
491
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:29,812
(CHUCKLES)
492
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:31,614
Unfortunately,
the people I'd ask
493
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:32,781
are going away for a while.
494
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:34,783
What happened
on Tuesday morning
495
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,486
was called a GPS takedown.
496
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,697
Thirty-one people were
arrested in the same instant.
497
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:42,079
Something in excess 600 agents
were dispatched to locations
498
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:44,035
in New York and L.A.
in coordinated strikes
499
00:20:44,118 --> 00:20:45,415
with automatic weapons,
500
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:47,667
and you're trying to tell
me you're in my office
501
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,670
because you raked a game
of Texas Hold 'Em?
502
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:50,882
Yes.
Have you seen
503
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:52,426
the other names
in your indictment?
504
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,219
"Nicholas Kozlowski.
Peter Druzhinsky.
505
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,423
"Peter Antonovich.
The Gershen Brothers."
506
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:57,552
I mean, come on, Molly,
507
00:20:57,631 --> 00:20:59,008
just how deep into
the Russian mob were you?
508
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,350
Because your book doesn't say.
509
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:03,888
(EXHALES)
510
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,199
Why are you making your
daughter read The Crucible?
511
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,781
So she can see
what happens to a group
512
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,411
of bored teenage girls
when they gossip.
513
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,579
I've never read the play.
514
00:21:24,658 --> 00:21:26,581
Many consider it to be the
best play of the 20th century.
515
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:28,204
Is that what many
consider it to be?
516
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,415
I don't defend
violent criminals.
517
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:31,590
I've never hurt anyone
in my life.
518
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,008
Your friends have.
I've never heard
519
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,960
of 90% of the names
on the indictment.
520
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:36,512
And the other 10%?
I didn't know they were
521
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:37,713
connected. I had no idea
who they really were.
522
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,424
Let me ask a question.
523
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:42,386
The character in the book
you call "Dean Keith,"
524
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,721
he didn't say
"poor people bagels," did he?
525
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,556
I think I know
who he is.
526
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:47,856
I think I know
a real estate lawyer
527
00:21:47,932 --> 00:21:49,024
that worked
with him and quit.
528
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,773
He said "nigger bagels,"
right?
529
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:58,984
I'm not telling you
his real name.
530
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:00,115
He's not involved in this.
531
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:02,071
But you were willing to
name some names.
532
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,042
Why is the FBI
arresting me
533
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,622
two years after
I stopped running games?
534
00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:13,503
Were you paid extra
in your book deal
535
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:15,050
to name the movie stars?
536
00:22:18,712 --> 00:22:20,305
I'm not your guy, Molly.
537
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,389
I wish you good luck, but
this just isn't for me.
538
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:35,688
I didn't know
who the Russians were.
539
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:38,945
I can get you
the $250,000.
540
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,401
I left 10 times that
on the street.
541
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,781
It'll just take some time.
542
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,363
We regularly lend out
our best litigators
543
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,072
like me to the ACLU,
544
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,370
Southern Poverty Law Center,
veterans groups,
545
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:49,747
but I don't think
I can convince my partners
546
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:51,750
to take a flyer
on the Poker Princess.
547
00:22:51,829 --> 00:22:53,752
I didn't name myself
the Poker Princess.
548
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:54,965
"Molly Bloom,
549
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,713
"the self-proclaimed
Poker Princess..."
550
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,044
Is that Us Weekly?
551
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:00,137
I would agree
it would be unusual for them
552
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:01,714
to print something
that wasn't true,
553
00:23:01,797 --> 00:23:02,798
but it's not true.
554
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,600
And if you think a princess
can do what I did,
555
00:23:04,675 --> 00:23:05,676
you're incorrect.
556
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,553
I'm getting you don't
think much of me,
557
00:23:07,636 --> 00:23:09,434
but what if every one
of your ill-informed,
558
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,356
unsophisticated opinions
about me were wrong?
559
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:12,558
I'd be amazed.
560
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:13,813
Yeah, you know what, bud,
you would.
561
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,361
You don't need me,
you need a publicist.
562
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:17,029
No,I need
a fucking lawyer!
563
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:25,616
You didn't answer
my question.
564
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:28,365
(SNIFFLES)
565
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,118
When was the last time
you slept?
566
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,417
It was a while ago.
567
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:38,463
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
568
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,214
All right.
569
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:46,926
I'm going to walk you through
the arraignment this morning
570
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:48,477
'cause you shouldn't
do that alone.
571
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:49,887
I'm going to put
some bodies on you
572
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,222
and walk you through
the side door
573
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:53,395
because I don't know what
you've got on the Russians,
574
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:54,521
but neither do they,
575
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,398
and the Russians
take care of shit.
576
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,153
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
577
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:01,986
Yes.
578
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:10,207
Almost. You got to
keep your eyes up,
579
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:11,834
always got to look ahead.
580
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:14,287
If you look down, that's
where you're gonna go.
581
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,504
If you look down,
that's where you'll go.
582
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:21,172
Ready?
Yeah.
583
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:22,252
All right.
584
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,432
Let's go.
585
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,179
MOLLY". My father is
a therapist
586
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:30,181
and a psychology professor
at Colorado State.
587
00:24:30,386 --> 00:24:31,854
No! No!
588
00:24:31,929 --> 00:24:34,352
The second rule of his house
was that academic excellence
589
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,525
and athletic excellence
weren't optional.
590
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,648
You can't be
afraid of it. All right?
591
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:40,149
Don't play defense.
592
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:42,482
And the first rule was that
he made all the rules.
593
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:43,690
Again.
594
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:45,367
Dad! I'm pretty tired.
595
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:47,115
Hon, she's tired.
596
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:48,946
We've been out here
since 6:00.
597
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,289
Her lips are blue.
598
00:24:51,949 --> 00:24:53,576
You're tired?
Yeah.
599
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:58,164
What's another word
for "tired"?
600
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:03,169
Name a synonym for tired,
and we'll get in the car.
601
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:05,295
Weak.
602
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:06,888
That's right.
603
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,553
Let's go home.
604
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:10,759
Again.
605
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:14,267
MOLLY: I decided to postpone
law school another year.
606
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,314
After six weeks of tips,
I went to Barneys
607
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:17,391
and asked for a dress
608
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,272
that made me look nothing
like myself.
609
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,773
I'd overheard stories
about games
610
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:22,275
that folded
after one bad night,
611
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,398
and I needed
this one to keep going,
612
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:25,903
and I needed to
bring value to it.
613
00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:27,030
Good night, Molly.
Thanks very much.
614
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:29,203
I knew if I wanted to
cement my place,
615
00:25:29,278 --> 00:25:30,905
there was one guy
I needed to team up with.
616
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:31,989
$10,000.
MAN: Fold.
617
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:33,198
MOLLY". And that was
this man.
618
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:36,372
The game had regulars,
and the game had guests.
619
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,500
And four of the regulars
were famous actors.
620
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,622
And I'm going to call one
of them Player X.
621
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:41,957
PLAYER X: I'm all in.
622
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,509
Player X subscribed
to the belief
623
00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:46,087
that money won was twice
as good as money earned.
624
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,514
He lived to beat people
and take their money.
625
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,307
Here's Player X
talking one of the guests
626
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:51,599
into folding
the winning hand.
627
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:53,052
I swear... Look at me.
628
00:25:54,094 --> 00:25:56,096
I swear on my mother's
life, I have you.
629
00:25:59,433 --> 00:26:01,356
MOLLY". Player X was
the best player at the table.
630
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:03,938
And tonight,
this guy was the worst.
631
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:07,448
(CHUCKLES)
632
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:09,280
He's staring at his cards.
633
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,032
Even a reasonably
good amateur would know
634
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:13,201
it was mathematically
the best hand,
635
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,032
which in poker is called
"the nuts."
636
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,247
There was $47,000
in the pot,
637
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:18,835
and the guest was holding
the nuts.
638
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:20,374
But he was starting
to get confused
639
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:21,748
because a movie star
was talking to him.
640
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,673
My mother's life, man.
I'm not messing with you.
641
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:24,796
Why would you
be telling me?
642
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,424
Either I am messing with you,
or you're new to the game,
643
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:28,675
you've had bad cards
all night,
644
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:30,301
you should've folded
after the flop,
645
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,007
and I don't want to win more
of your money this way.
646
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:33,600
I've got queens under here.
647
00:26:34,551 --> 00:26:35,677
Take your time.
648
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,491
Fold.
649
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:51,819
Fuck you.
No!
650
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,161
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
651
00:27:00,661 --> 00:27:03,164
MOLLY: A fish is a
particular kind of player.
652
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:04,756
A fish has money.
653
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:07,426
A fish plays loose
and doesn't fold a lot.
654
00:27:07,501 --> 00:27:10,505
A fish is good,
but not too good.
655
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:11,801
There's an ATM
in the hall, bro.
656
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,008
The Cobra Lounge may have
belonged to Dean Keith,
657
00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:15,889
but the game belonged
to Player X.
658
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,595
People wanted to say
they played with him.
659
00:27:17,678 --> 00:27:18,804
The same way
they wanted to say
660
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,730
they rode on Air Force One.
661
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:22,225
My job security
was gonna depend on
662
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:23,775
bringing him his fish.
663
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:25,690
But where would I find people
with a lot of money
664
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:26,937
who didn't know
how to spend it
665
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:28,647
and liked to be
around celebrities?
666
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:30,240
If they say
they're interested in poker,
667
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,407
you give them
my number.
668
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,530
I vet them.
669
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:34,407
If they end up playing
in a game,
670
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,909
I'll give you $1,000
the first time they play,
671
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,866
$500 every time
after that.
672
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:40,450
Be sure to mention
673
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:41,706
that these guys are
all regulars.
674
00:27:42,077 --> 00:27:44,580
Is this true?
These guys play?
675
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:49,711
MOLLY: The Commerce Casino is
off the 5 freeway in East L-A.,
676
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:52,387
and no one's ever going to
confuse it with Monte Carlo.
677
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,385
I'd watch the tables
for a while
678
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,432
before I approached
a friendly-looking pit boss.
679
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:58,644
Third chair at Table 8
can't lose.
680
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,517
Unless there are players
at his table who can win.
681
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,687
You know about the game
at the Cobra Lounge, right?
682
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,184
Sure.
683
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,441
$1,000 for every player
you send me.
684
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:09,779
You get a piece
of what they lose.
685
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:11,736
No pros.
686
00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:12,816
I'm Molly.
687
00:28:14,193 --> 00:28:16,366
Poker was my Trojan horse
into the highest level
688
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:20,332
of finance, technology,

with other providers.
693

spending $30 million

on an outfielder hits .320
with 110 RBI.

They alone control
the market.
696

They choose the artists
they want to be important.
697
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:35,593

$10 million

who is 8-14 this season.

Back then I would have laughed
at that question.

to ask how you plead.

in school today.

LARRY: Is this Mrs. Linwood?
MOLLY: Yep.
865
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:15,789

on the unconscious mind?

00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:20,957
has the credibility
of a horoscope,
869
00:35:21,036 --> 00:35:22,379
but what got
my attention was that
870
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,673
he opposed the women's
emancipation movement.
871
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,170
He believed that
a woman's life
872
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:27,668
is about her
reproductive functions.
873
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:29,044

the nuts and bolts

So, the debt service
on your loans

is close to 20%,
which is crazy.

20% is barely survivable
if it's a bridge loan, but,

all of which are worth
less than they were
956
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,182

00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:26,739
Fellas, can I have your
attention for a moment?
1035
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:29,203
(MUSIC STOPS)
1036
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:34,666
Where's Dean?
1037
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:37,871
I'll be hosting a game
in this suite
1038
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:39,293
every Tuesday night.
1039
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:40,919
If you play tonight,
1040
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:42,546
you'll be guaranteed
a chair for a year.
1041
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:45,048
If you'd prefer to play
at the Cobra Lounge,
1042
00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:47,255
there'll be
no hard feelings.
1043
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:55,017
Let's play-
1044
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,348
MOLLY". The game was mine now.
1045
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:59,435
I incorporated, and Molly Bloom
Event Planning was born.
1046
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,987
I paid taxes
and 1099'd my employees.
1047
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:04,188
I never became romantically
1048
00:42:04,272 --> 00:42:06,445
or sexually involved
with any of the players.
1049
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:07,741
The game would have
fallen apart.
1050
00:42:08,317 --> 00:42:11,036
This was back when I was
still making good decisions.
1051
00:42:11,112 --> 00:42:12,864
And I went to a lawyer
to make absolutely sure
1052
00:42:12,947 --> 00:42:14,369
all this was legal.
1053
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:16,083
LOUIS: Are you taking a rake?
MOLLY: No.
1054
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:17,502
Then you're not
breaking the law.
1055
00:42:17,577 --> 00:42:19,045
But can I give you
some advice?
1056
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,121
Please.
1057
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:21,205
There's a saying
in my business.
1058
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,508
"Don't break the law when
you're breaking the law."
1059
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:26,381
What do you mean? No drugs.
No prostitutes.
1060
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:28,008
No muscle
to collect debts.
1061
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:29,555
I don't do anything
like that,
1062
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,473
but you just said
I wasn't breaking the law.
1063
00:42:31,549 --> 00:42:32,675
You want to keep it
that way
1064
00:42:32,759 --> 00:42:33,851
because you don't want to
break the law
1065
00:42:33,926 --> 00:42:35,098
when you're breaking
the law.
1066
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:37,059
Am I breaking the law?
1067
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:38,806
Not really.
1068
00:42:39,098 --> 00:42:41,021
We're able to find out
for sure, aren't we?
1069
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,352
Laws are written down.
1070
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:43,982
You're not taking
a percentage of the pot?
1071
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:45,063
No.
1072
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:46,864
You're running
a square game.
1073
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:49,780
MOLLY". My game had
a tricky ecosystem.
1074
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:51,494
These guys
could buy anything.
1075
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:54,865
But here, in this room,
you couldn't buy your win.
1076
00:42:54,989 --> 00:42:57,412
You couldn't buy me.
You couldn't buy the girls.
1077
00:42:57,492 --> 00:42:59,620
And you couldn't buy
a seat at the table.
1078
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:02,376
There's nothing as sweet as
a win you have to work for.
1079
00:43:02,455 --> 00:43:04,503
And the wins and losses
were compelling,
1080
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,050
and they were real.
1081
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:07,172
Of course, it helped that
1082
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:08,298
the players were
gambling addicts.
1083
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:09,799
Can I see you
for a second?
1084
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,262
Jay, you're famous.
1085
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,938
You are an
international rock star.
1086
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:21,232
Oh, I wasn't sure
you'd noticed.
1087
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:23,063
You can't send emails
like that.
1088
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:25,186
Well, it's not
a federal production, okay?
1089
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:27,897
I just invited you to Cabo
for the weekend.
1090
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:30,403
The next woman you send
an email like that to,
1091
00:43:30,483 --> 00:43:33,111
it's not going to be me. It's
going to be someone else.
1092
00:43:33,194 --> 00:43:34,241
You're playing with fire.
1093
00:43:34,362 --> 00:43:36,615
I'm telling you that
I'm in love with you,
1094
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:38,582
and you are worried
about me getting blackmailed?
1095
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:40,793
Oh, my... Thatjust makes me
more into you.

Lemon head.
1097
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:43,580
They won't need to
blackmail you,
1098
00:43:43,663 --> 00:43:45,961
they can get just as much
money from TMZ.
1099
00:43:46,082 --> 00:43:48,130
And TMZ will give them
what they really want.
1100
00:43:48,209 --> 00:43:49,210
Tell me the truth.
1101
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,011
Was mine the first love letter
you've gotten from a player?
1102
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:53,636
It was the seventh.
All digitally transmitted.
1103
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,136
You are begging
for your life
1104
00:43:55,216 --> 00:43:57,810
to be turned into
a very public hell.
1105
00:43:57,885 --> 00:43:58,977
So, that's a "no"
on Cabo?
1106
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:00,771
Why don't you give your wife
and kids a break
1107
00:44:00,847 --> 00:44:02,520
and run 'em over
with a limo?
1108
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:03,895
I love the way
that you talk to me.
1109
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:05,022

I've had a thought.
Yeah?
1112
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:13,901
Raise the stakes.
1113
00:44:16,737 --> 00:44:17,738
To what?
1114
00:44:19,365 --> 00:44:21,288
50K buy-in.
Blinds are 250/500.
1115
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:27,290
That's a 500% hike.
Yeah.
1116
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,088
I don't think
it's a good idea.
1117
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:31,256
Could you guys give me
the room for a second?
1118
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:34,964
Sure.

"Find new fish."

I went recruiting again.
1131
00:44:58,779 --> 00:45:00,497
First up
was Donnie Silverman.
1132
00:45:00,573 --> 00:45:02,871
Donnie won the World Series
of Poker last year
1133
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:04,702
and got in touch with me
through one of the players.
1134
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:06,207
Are you fucking nuts?
1135
00:45:06,287 --> 00:45:08,289
Donnie Silverman won the
World Series of Poker.

You can watch it online.
1137
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:12,552
He took 11 hands
at the final table,
1138
00:45:12,627 --> 00:45:14,846
but he had the nuts
on eight of them.
1139
00:45:14,921 --> 00:45:16,298
Three of those...
1140
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:18,223
Three were two outers
1141
00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:19,721
with four players
still in the hand.
1142
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,801
He ran hot.
1143
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:22,307
He doesn't lock
his chips down,
1144
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,184
he's reckless,
he gives tons of action,
1145

$12 million.

was Brad Marion.

Good evening, gentlemen.

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 --> 00:45:53,922
Brad would still find a way
to lose to him.

Sorry, I don't have a chair,
but you're welcome to a drink.

No, I just came
to introduce you to Brad.

I just wanted to introduce
you to Brad Marion.
1161
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,720
He wants to play.
1162
00:46:04,804 --> 00:46:05,896
Give me his information.
I'll check him out.

vouch for him.

MOLLY". "Derek's going
to vouch for him"
1165
00:46:08,557 --> 00:46:11,481
meant Derek would cover any
losses if Brad didn't pay.
1166
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,233
Up to any amount.
Yeah.

Hi, I'm Molly Bloom.
Brad Marion.

Nice to meet you.
You too.
1169
00:46:18,943 --> 00:46:20,945
MOLLY: But he could pay,
and had to,
1170
00:46:21,362 --> 00:46:22,705
because he embraced
the fallacy
1171
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:24,123
of being pot-committed.
1172
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,457

through to the end.

Bad Brad had raised
$700 million
1176

for a fund
that traded oil futures,
1177
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:37,428
and every week
he came to the game,
1178
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:39,722
lost $100,000,
and tipped me $5,000
1179
00:46:39,797 --> 00:46:41,094
so he could play
the next week.
1180
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:43,843
He wasn't getting
any better.

many friends.

00:47:35,644 --> 00:47:37,146
He was getting customers.
1205
00:47:37,229 --> 00:47:38,856
He'd drop
his $100K at the game
1206
00:47:38,939 --> 00:47:40,691
and pick up $4 million
for his hedge fund.
1207
00:47:40,775 --> 00:47:41,776
DEREK: Tell 'em
what's smart this week.
1208
00:47:41,859 --> 00:47:42,860
Not me.
1209
00:47:42,943 --> 00:47:45,617
MOLLY". More on that later,
but first, Harlan Eustice.
1210
00:47:46,113 --> 00:47:48,582
Player X said he met Harlan
at the Commerce Casino
1211
00:47:48,657 --> 00:47:50,079
and that he'd be good
for the game,
1212
00:47:50,159 --> 00:47:52,036
but I wasn't seeing
what he was seeing.
1213
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,291
He played tight,
1214
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:55,999
folding after the hole card
64% of the time.
1215
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:58,505
It wasn't clear where
his money came from.
1216
00:47:58,584 --> 00:47:59,710
He produced
backyard wrestling videos
1217
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:01,758
and other
low-rent productions.
1218
00:48:02,296 --> 00:48:03,388
But worst of all,
1219
00:48:03,464 --> 00:48:06,013
Harlan Eustice
was a good card player.
1220
00:48:06,092 --> 00:48:07,344
Why would Player X
want someone
1221
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:08,769
at the game
who could beat him?
1222
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:11,017
I'd learn the answer
to that one the hard way.
1223
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,687
How was your flight?
MOLLY: Just fine.
1224
00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:16,523
How are you paying for tickets between L.A.
and New York?
1225
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,479
I had two million points
left on my Amex.
1226
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:19,859
They took the card, but
let me keep the points,
1227
00:48:19,939 --> 00:48:20,940
which I thought
was nice of them.
1228
00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:22,024
You had meetings.
1229
00:48:22,608 --> 00:48:23,609
Hmm?
1230
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:25,702
You had meetings in L.A.
aboutyourbook and life rights.
1231
00:48:25,778 --> 00:48:27,325
I did. Was there any interest'?
1232
00:48:27,405 --> 00:48:29,203
A company that owns 4,000
video poker machines
1233
00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:30,373
wants to put
my face on 'em.
1234
00:48:31,075 --> 00:48:32,076
Anything else?
1235
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:34,461
Treat magazine made
a generous offer.
1236
00:48:34,578 --> 00:48:35,579
Treat?
1237
00:48:35,663 --> 00:48:36,789
It's a new magazine for
1238
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,040
the high-end
photography enthusiast.
1239
00:48:38,124 --> 00:48:40,172
They want you to pose naked.
I'd be the April Treat.
1240
00:48:40,334 --> 00:48:41,586
I meant interest
in your book.
1241
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:43,295
Uh, yeah.
1242
00:48:43,671 --> 00:48:44,672
Any offers?
1243
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,341
A few, I guess. Couple.
1244
00:48:49,301 --> 00:48:50,427
Five.
Really?
1245
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:52,013
Yeah.
And?
1246
00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:53,188
I passed.
1247
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:55,016
You're destitute, and you
passed on five offers
1248
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:56,191
to turn your book
into a movie?
1249
00:48:56,267 --> 00:48:57,268
You will be paid, Charlie.
1250
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:58,523
I'm just curious
as to why you passed
1251
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,650
on what would appear to be
the only way out you have.
1252
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:03,115
Creative differences.
Okay.
1253
00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:04,237
Shall we start?
1254
00:49:04,316 --> 00:49:06,239
You know, I am gonna
figure you out.
1255
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,786
Well, let me know
what you find.
1256
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:08,909
You see this?
1257
00:49:08,988 --> 00:49:10,911
This is discovery.
1258
00:49:10,990 --> 00:49:12,663
Let's see what
we discovered.
1259
00:49:13,617 --> 00:49:15,790
Over here
we have Peter Druzhinsky,
1260
00:49:16,287 --> 00:49:17,379
Peter Antonovich,
1261
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:19,628
and Peter Slobo.
The three Petes.
1262
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,542
Now, the three Petes run
a chain
1263
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:22,717
of corrupt
medical clinics
1264
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:24,795
and have been committing
insurance fraud,
1265
00:49:25,212 --> 00:49:27,931
wire fraud, and mail fraud
on an epic scale.
1266
00:49:28,007 --> 00:49:29,259
Now, over here we have
1267
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:31,890
the Ragnyada-Gershen
Organization.
1268
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,563
They're a worldwide
bookmaking operation
1269
00:49:34,638 --> 00:49:37,016
handling hundreds of
millions of dollars a year
1270
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:38,851
in illegal sports betting.
1271
00:49:38,934 --> 00:49:40,106
And over here we have
1272
00:49:40,186 --> 00:49:41,733
the Alexander-Habib
Organization.
1273
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,199
This is also an illegal
sports betting organization,
1274
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:48,278
but this one,
financed by an art gallery
1275
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,580
owned by Shillel Habib,
who everyone calls...
1276
00:49:51,655 --> 00:49:52,656
Shelly.
1277
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:59,080
This is the Russian Mafia.
1278
00:49:59,163 --> 00:50:00,915
And the three
are tied together
1279
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:02,671
in the indictment
through
1280
00:50:04,210 --> 00:50:05,211
a poker game.
1281
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:08,256
Were they tappmg my phones'?
No.?
1282
00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:09,381
Thank God.
1283
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:11,555
They were tapping the phones
of everyone you talked to.
1284
00:50:11,926 --> 00:50:12,927
Okay.
1285
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:15,012
They've got you confirming
that you ran raked games
1286
00:50:15,095 --> 00:50:16,096
at the Plaza Hotel
1287
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:17,272
and various locations
in New York.
1288
00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:19,775
They've also got
a confidential informant
1289
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:21,648
confirming that
you ran raked games
1290
00:50:21,727 --> 00:50:22,728
at the Plaza Hotel
1291
00:50:22,811 --> 00:50:24,188
and various locations
in New York.
1292
00:50:24,313 --> 00:50:26,816
You were
in violation of 1955,
1293
00:50:26,899 --> 00:50:28,151
which is a part
of the U.S. Code
1294
00:50:28,234 --> 00:50:29,281
that makes it illegal
1295
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,237
to run an illegal
gambling business.
1296
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,697
You know what
you did?
1297
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:34,748
You finished writing a book
before the good part happened.
1298
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:36,784
You really get a kick
out of yourself, don't you?
1299
00:50:37,660 --> 00:50:39,583
You know,
I don't like this picture.
1300
00:50:39,703 --> 00:50:40,875
Thank you.
1301
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:42,081
You look like the cat
that ate the canary,
1302
00:50:42,164 --> 00:50:43,381
and then told the canary's
parents about it.
1303
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:44,921
It's the picture
the publisher wanted.
1304
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,092
And I didn't get a vote.
1305
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:47,590
I liked the book.
A good story, well told.
1306
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:48,671
Thank you.
1307
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:50,176
I need you to
tell it again though,
1308
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:51,298
from the beginning,
and this time
1309
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:53,009
without skipping over
the Russians.
1310
00:50:53,259 --> 00:50:54,260
Would you like
a glass of water?
1311
00:50:54,385 --> 00:50:55,557
I'd like a glass of bourbon.
(CHARLIE CHUCKLES)
1312
00:50:56,512 --> 00:50:57,638
(SIGHS)
1313
00:50:59,014 --> 00:51:00,687
One more thing.
Yeah?
1314
00:51:01,267 --> 00:51:02,359
I need your hard drives.
1315
00:51:02,434 --> 00:51:04,027
Going back how far?
What do you mean?
1316
00:51:04,311 --> 00:51:06,109
Well, I Kept my hard drives
when I'd buy a new laptop.
1317
00:51:06,855 --> 00:51:07,856
You're kidding.
No.
1318
00:51:07,940 --> 00:51:09,066
It had a record
of who owed what
1319
00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:10,196
and spreadsheets
on the players.
1320
00:51:10,276 --> 00:51:11,402
It has more
than that.
1321
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:12,782
Every time you charge
yourphone
1322
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:14,408
by plugging it
into the computer,
1323
00:51:14,488 --> 00:51:15,910
the computer takes a record
1324
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:17,708
of all your text messages
and emails.
1325
00:51:17,783 --> 00:51:19,501
My laptop has a record
of all text messages
1326
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:21,045
and emails
received years ago
1327
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:23,339
on phones that have been
smashed with an aluminum bat?
1328
00:51:23,414 --> 00:51:26,338
I wanna run a forensic
imaging on your hard drives.
1329
00:51:26,667 --> 00:51:27,714
Oh, no, thanks anyway.
1330
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:28,965
But I'll be destroying
those hard drives.
1331
00:51:29,044 --> 00:51:30,091
You can't do that,
they're evidence.
1332
00:51:30,296 --> 00:51:31,297
Well, I'm going to
blow them up.
1333
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:32,381
I'm literally going to
use explosives
1334
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:33,841
and scatter the remains
in the sea.
1335
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,141
Except you told me
they exist.
1336
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:36,309
You're gonna have to pretend
I didn't tell you.
1337
00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:37,386
Can't do that.
Yes, you can.
1338
00:51:37,469 --> 00:51:38,686
You were the one
who wanted a lawyer
1339
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:39,934
that wasn't even
a little bit shady.
1340
00:51:40,014 --> 00:51:41,015
New information
has come to light,
1341
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,099
and I now see that,
that was stupid.
1342
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:43,183
Molly.
There are no hard drives.
1343
00:51:43,267 --> 00:51:44,940
If you destroy evidence
and obstruct justice
1344
00:51:45,019 --> 00:51:46,066
on top of the charges
1345
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:47,863
already brought against you
in this case,
1346
00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:49,736
you will be,
I promise, incarcerated.
1347
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:52,238
You don't understand what's
in those text messages.
1348
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:53,695
I understand
you've had boyfriends,
1349
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:54,869
and there'll be
some exchanges
1350
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,367
that are a little
bit embarrassing...
1351
00:51:56,447 --> 00:51:57,790
I don't care
about embarrassing
1352
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:58,991
text messages
from boyfriends
1353
00:51:59,074 --> 00:52:00,075
as there is not left
1354
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:02,036
the smallest corner
of my private life
1355
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,962
that isn't available
for public scrutiny.
1356
00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:05,915
There are messages
1357
00:52:05,998 --> 00:52:07,124
that would destroy
other lives.
1358
00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:09,460
There are messages
that would end careers
1359
00:52:09,585 --> 00:52:10,677
and obliterate families.
1360
00:52:10,794 --> 00:52:13,297
If those the text messages
were to be made public...
1361
00:52:13,464 --> 00:52:14,716
They won't be.
If they were...
1362
00:52:14,798 --> 00:52:15,799
They won't be.
1363
00:52:15,883 --> 00:52:17,009
It would be catastrophic
for many people.
1364
00:52:17,134 --> 00:52:18,386
I'm a lawyer. I'm legally... No.
1365
00:52:18,469 --> 00:52:20,062
Listen to me.
I'm legally prohibited
1366
00:52:20,179 --> 00:52:21,271
from disclosing
anything...
1367
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:22,981
Someone leaked
my last deposition
1368
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:24,684
to the National Enquirer,
Charlie.
1369
00:52:24,767 --> 00:52:25,768
Butterball?
1370
00:52:25,851 --> 00:52:27,148
My last lawyer's name
was Butterman,
1371
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:28,319
and he was
one of five people
1372
00:52:28,395 --> 00:52:29,772
in the room besides me.
1373
00:52:30,105 --> 00:52:31,857
But the information
in that deposition
1374
00:52:31,940 --> 00:52:34,113
would be nothing compared
to the consequences
1375
00:52:34,234 --> 00:52:36,532
of those text messages... Ah!
1376
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:37,821
I just got it.
1377
00:52:38,364 --> 00:52:39,456
...showing up
everywhere.
1378
00:52:39,531 --> 00:52:40,703
I couldn't figure out why
1379
00:52:40,783 --> 00:52:42,911
you named some people
but not others.
1380
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:44,836
I thought that
maybe some people paid you.
1381
00:52:44,912 --> 00:52:46,334
You were wrong.
But doesn't matter.
1382
00:52:46,497 --> 00:52:48,295
No, the only people
you named in that book
1383
00:52:48,374 --> 00:52:50,251
were the ones
that were already named
1384
00:52:50,376 --> 00:52:52,219
in the Bad Brad Marion
deposition.
1385
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:53,508
Which you think...
I know.
1386
00:52:53,587 --> 00:52:54,713
...somebody leaked it...
Sold it.
1387
00:52:54,797 --> 00:52:55,889
...to the tabloids.
Yes.
1388
00:52:55,964 --> 00:52:57,386
Maybe even Butterbean.
Butterman.
1389
00:52:57,466 --> 00:52:58,683
But I don't know
who it was.
1390
00:52:58,801 --> 00:53:00,519
I watched
Jenny McCarthy beat you up
1391
00:53:00,594 --> 00:53:01,641
for naming the players.
1392
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:02,721
Why didn't you just say,
1393
00:53:02,805 --> 00:53:04,273
"Hey, those names
are already public record."
1394
00:53:04,390 --> 00:53:06,813
I don't know. Because I wasn't
on The View undersubpoena.
1395
00:53:06,892 --> 00:53:09,020
Can we please get back
to the emails and texts?
1396
00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:10,487
Is that why you have
creative differences
1397
00:53:10,562 --> 00:53:11,609
with the Hollywood offers?
1398
00:53:11,689 --> 00:53:14,158
Because they want information
you won't give them?
1399
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:15,280
I don't know you.
Hmm.
1400
00:53:15,359 --> 00:53:17,703
If what happened last time
were to happen this time,
1401
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:19,451
it would make
what happened last time...
1402
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,281
What is this for?
1403
00:53:21,365 --> 00:53:22,867
It's got every text message
and email
1404
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:24,247
I've sent in the last year
1405
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:26,545
as well as a variety
of incriminating evidence
1406
00:53:26,662 --> 00:53:27,834
about my clients.
1407
00:53:27,913 --> 00:53:29,381
Now if anything of yours
get leaked,
1408
00:53:29,498 --> 00:53:31,626
you can sell my phone
to the highest bidder,
1409
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,382
and I'll lose my job
and get disbarred.
1410
00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:35,721
So in order to
demonstrate the sanctity
1411
00:53:35,796 --> 00:53:38,219
of your attorney-client
confidentiality,
1412
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:39,720
you're betraying
the confidentiality
1413
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,926
of all your
other clients?
1414
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:43,721
I know you're not
going to look at it.
1415
00:53:44,638 --> 00:53:45,730
How do you know?
1416
00:53:46,306 --> 00:53:47,307
I don't know.
1417
00:53:53,856 --> 00:53:54,948
I'll fly home
to Colorado
1418
00:53:55,983 --> 00:53:57,235
and be back the next day
with the hard drives.
1419
00:54:00,446 --> 00:54:01,993
MOLLY". Harlan Eustice
was excited about
1420
00:54:02,072 --> 00:54:03,619
the surprise
40th birthday party
1421
00:54:03,699 --> 00:54:06,077
he was throwing for
his wife in 24 hours.
1422
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:07,958
I rented out the whole
courtyard of The Buffalo Club.
1423
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:10,004
It'll be about
a hundred people.
1424
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,629
Kumamoto oysters,
snow crab, lobsters.
1425
00:54:12,750 --> 00:54:15,128
MOLLY: He wasn't ticking off
menu items to show off,
1426
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:17,008
he was genuinely excited
about the party
1427
00:54:17,087 --> 00:54:18,088
he was giving his wife.
1428
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,590
She doesn't know anything
about it.
1429
00:54:19,673 --> 00:54:22,096
She thinks we're having dinner
with her brother and his wife.
1430
00:54:22,217 --> 00:54:23,264
(MOLLY AND HARLAN CHUCKLING)
1431
00:54:23,343 --> 00:54:24,845
MOLLY". I liked Harlan.
1432
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:27,226
But nobody else liked him
except Player X.
1433
00:54:27,306 --> 00:54:30,480
He played tight, didn't
give a lot of action,
1434
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:32,311
and always got his money
in good,
1435
00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:34,317
which means
he was running the odds.
1436
00:54:34,396 --> 00:54:36,239
DIEGO: $5,000 to call.
No.
1437
00:54:36,315 --> 00:54:38,283
MOLLY". In other words,
he was playing poker,
1438
00:54:38,609 --> 00:54:39,826
and the others
were gambling.
1439
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:43,906
And he won.
1440
00:54:45,449 --> 00:54:47,167
By midnight,
Harlan had tripled
1441
00:54:47,242 --> 00:54:49,711
his original
$50,000 buy-in.
1442
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:52,419
But everything came off
the rails with one hand.
1443
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:55,843
And that's how it happens.
That's how you go full-tilt.
1444
00:54:56,418 --> 00:54:58,671
Harlan, the best player
at the table,
1445
00:54:58,754 --> 00:55:00,347
the best player
at most tables,
1446
00:55:00,714 --> 00:55:02,682
was about to get
bluffed off the win by,
1447
00:55:02,758 --> 00:55:05,762
of all people, Bad Brad.
1448
00:55:06,178 --> 00:55:07,270
HOW?
1449
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:09,815
Because Harlan had never
played with Brad before
1450
00:55:09,890 --> 00:55:12,939
and didn't know yet
that Brad was bad.
1451
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,779
Harlan's got a boat.
Nines full.
1452
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:17,981
Brad's got nothing.
1453
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:19,942
But his pre-flop betting
made it look,
1454
00:55:20,025 --> 00:55:22,027
entirely accidenfly,
1455
00:55:22,110 --> 00:55:23,703
like there was a chance
he had pocket kings.
1456
00:55:23,779 --> 00:55:24,905
HARLANI $20,000.
1457
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:26,080
MOLLY: Which, if true,
1458
00:55:26,156 --> 00:55:27,749
would give him
the better full house.
1459
00:55:29,159 --> 00:55:30,581
Brad's counting off $20,000,
1460
00:55:30,661 --> 00:55:31,787
which means
he's going to call.
1461
00:55:31,912 --> 00:55:32,959
And Harlan knows that
1462
00:55:33,038 --> 00:55:34,881
if Brad is going to call
and not raise,
1463
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,466
it means
he didn't have the boat
1464
00:55:36,542 --> 00:55:37,839
and he's betting
a high two pair,
1465
00:55:37,918 --> 00:55:39,545
probably kings and queens.
1466
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:41,972
But then,
instead of calling the bet,
1467
00:55:42,047 --> 00:55:44,266
Brad pushes $72,000
into the pot.
1468
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:45,342
I'm all in.
1469
00:55:47,052 --> 00:55:48,929
Harlan looks at Brad.
1470
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:50,397
Every tell Harlan
knows about,
1471
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:53,316
carotid artery pumping,
stiff hands,
1472
00:55:53,392 --> 00:55:55,520
Brad's doing the opposite.
1473
00:55:55,602 --> 00:55:57,149
Brad's betting represented
a huge hand
1474
00:55:57,229 --> 00:55:58,355
by calling on the flop,
1475
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:00,861
check raising the turn,
and bombing the river.
1476
00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:02,818
Of course,
Harlan didn't know that
1477
00:56:02,901 --> 00:56:05,154
Brad didn't know
what any of that meant.
1478
00:56:05,362 --> 00:56:07,740
So Harlan,
always a good sport, said...
1479
00:56:07,823 --> 00:56:09,951
Nice bet.
I'm laying this down.
1480
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:12,206
As he tossed in
what he didn't realize
1481
00:56:12,286 --> 00:56:14,084
was the winning hand.
1482
00:56:14,162 --> 00:56:16,005
Brad tosses in
his cards too,
1483
00:56:16,081 --> 00:56:18,083
and one of them flips over,
and Harlan sees...
1484
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:19,755
You didn't have
pocket kings?
1485
00:56:21,336 --> 00:56:23,213
I didn't have any kings,
except the one in the middle.
1486
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:27,009
You had two pair?
I had one pair.
1487
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:28,977
The nines in the middle.
1488
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:31,017
(MEN EXCLAIMING AND LAUGHING)
1489
00:56:34,558 --> 00:56:36,231
PLAYER: Harlan,
what are you thinking, man!
1490
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:38,444
Thank you.
1491
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:43,067
MOLLY: it wasn't even that
it was that much money.
1492
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:45,824
Harlan only lost about
$40,000 on the hand.
1493
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:47,571
But a circuit breaker blew,
1494
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:49,622
and Harlan was
out for blood now.
1495
00:56:49,698 --> 00:56:51,166
Everyone's.
1496
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:54,207
You have $112,000
on the table.
1497
00:56:54,286 --> 00:56:55,754
MOLLY: You want
another 50?
1498
00:56:55,913 --> 00:56:57,210
Give me another
100, please.
1499
00:57:00,542 --> 00:57:01,964
Sign here for $100,000.
1500
00:57:02,753 --> 00:57:05,427
By 5:00 a.m., Harlan was down
half a million.
1501
00:57:05,547 --> 00:57:07,424
He'd abandoned everything
he knew about poker
1502
00:57:07,507 --> 00:57:09,009
and was playing
like a frat kid,
1503
00:57:09,092 --> 00:57:11,186
swinging for a home run
on every hand.
1504
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:15,064
Another 100, please.
1505
00:57:15,140 --> 00:57:17,768
Hey, bud... Molly, please.
Let's go.
1506
00:57:19,728 --> 00:57:21,355
Sign here for 100.
1507

6:00 a.m.
1508
00:57:30,906 --> 00:57:32,158
Text messages were going out,
1509
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,413
letting everyone know
Harlan was bleeding.
1510
00:57:34,701 --> 00:57:35,918
Guys were coming by to play
1511
00:57:35,994 --> 00:57:37,462
for a couple of hours
before work.
1512
00:57:37,537 --> 00:57:38,959
They'd been losing to him
for months.
1513
00:57:39,623 --> 00:57:41,751
Everyone wanted a check
from Harlan Eustice.
1514
00:57:41,833 --> 00:57:42,925
If you go home now,
1515
00:57:43,001 --> 00:57:44,002
you can have a few hours
of sleep
1516
00:57:44,086 --> 00:57:45,087

Hi, guys. Help yourself
to some coffee.
1520
00:57:56,223 --> 00:57:57,600
You're on tilt.
1521
00:57:58,058 --> 00:57:59,184
Everybody knows it.
1522
00:57:59,518 --> 00:58:01,566
You're playing without
the weapons you need to win.
1523
00:58:02,521 --> 00:58:03,522
You're right.
1524
00:58:04,773 --> 00:58:06,241
All right, thank you.
1525
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:08,285
Give me $500,000.

00:58:10,278 --> 00:58:11,905
I just gotta
get back to even.
1527
00:58:11,989 --> 00:58:13,241
MOLLY". That should be
the second line
1528
00:58:13,323 --> 00:58:14,870
of every gambler's obit.
1529
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:17,749
"Mr. Feldstein died while
trying to get back to even."
1530
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:19,705
Harlan never did.
1531
00:58:19,788 --> 00:58:22,041
And he never got
to his wife's birthday party.
1532
00:58:22,416 --> 00:58:24,589
She filed for divorce
two days later.
1533
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:26,678
But there was
one last punch coming
1534
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:29,131
that would put Harlan
on the floor for good.
1535
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:32,513
Harlan was heads up
against a guy
1536
00:58:32,592 --> 00:58:34,686
named Frederick
who was Austrian royalty.
1537
00:58:36,596 --> 00:58:37,643
Call.
1538
00:58:37,723 --> 00:58:39,396
Harlan had pocket queens.
1539
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:42,068
His Excellency
had ace-king.
1540
00:58:42,144 --> 00:58:44,897
They were both in
65K pre-flop.
1541
00:58:44,980 --> 00:58:46,653
Flop's queen-seven-seven.
1542
00:58:46,732 --> 00:58:48,029
Harlan has a full house again,
1543
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:49,402
queens full of sevens,
1544
00:58:49,484 --> 00:58:51,612
with three rounds
of betting in front of him.
1545
00:58:52,362 --> 00:58:54,410
The Count has nothing.
1546
00:58:56,742 --> 00:58:57,834
All in.
1547
00:58:57,909 --> 00:58:59,786
MOLLY:
And the Count goes all in.
1548
00:58:59,870 --> 00:59:00,962
He wants Harlan
to think
1549
00:59:01,038 --> 00:59:02,665
he's got two more sevens
under there.
1550
00:59:02,748 --> 00:59:04,216
Ca“.
"Nope," says Harlan.
1551
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:05,588
He's not falling
for this again,
1552
00:59:05,667 --> 00:59:07,510
and he snap-calls all in.
1553
00:59:07,586 --> 00:59:10,590
There's $750,000
on the table.
1554
00:59:11,631 --> 00:59:13,804
Diego burns a card
and deals a turn.
1555
00:59:15,093 --> 00:59:16,310
A king.
1556
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:18,809
Otto von Bismarck
now has two pair,
1557
00:59:18,889 --> 00:59:20,562
kings and sevens.
1558
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,234
But two pair is nothing
next to a full house,
1559
00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:24,402
and, at this point,
1560
00:59:24,478 --> 00:59:26,446
the only hand left that can
beat a queen full house
1561
00:59:28,857 --> 00:59:30,234
is a king full house.
1562
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:35,031
Captain von Trapp
bluffed two pair
1563
00:59:35,113 --> 00:59:37,491
and rivered
into kings full.
1564
00:59:38,533 --> 00:59:40,080
Motherfucker!
1565
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,161
(SCREAMS)
Motherfucker!
1566
00:59:41,328 --> 00:59:43,046
Fuck you,
you fucking mechanic!
1567
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,247
Hey!
1568
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,459
Fuck you, you bottom-dealing
party magician!
1569
00:59:46,541 --> 00:59:47,713
Hey, get out
onto the terrace.
1570
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:49,340
You've been pulling this shit
on me for two days!
1571
00:59:49,753 --> 00:59:51,130
Come on! Come on!
Party magician!
1572
00:59:53,507 --> 00:59:54,724
You good?
I'm okay, thanks.
1573
01:00:01,014 --> 01:00:02,231
MOLLY: What the hell?
1574
01:00:02,808 --> 01:00:04,810
I'll apologize to Diego.
1575
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:06,277
Yeah.
1576
01:00:06,353 --> 01:00:07,354
And you're going
to go home.
1577
01:00:07,437 --> 01:00:08,814
I'm making a floor call,
that's it.
1578
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:11,991
Did you hear me?
1579
01:00:13,151 --> 01:00:14,494
I don't have it.
1580
01:00:18,532 --> 01:00:19,704
A million two.
1581
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,077
I don't have it.
1582
01:00:25,747 --> 01:00:26,964
I'm sorry.

(SIGHS)
1584
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:35,966
Go home.
1585
01:00:38,426 --> 01:00:39,552
I'm very sorry.
1586
01:00:42,556 --> 01:00:44,524
You got to tell Sheila
the truth, okay?
1587
01:00:46,977 --> 01:00:48,945
Tell her the truth.
Tell her what happened.
1588
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:50,814
And I'm gonna
help you,
1589
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:52,023
I'm gonna get you
to a meeting.
1590
01:00:53,567 --> 01:00:54,989
We'll meet tomorrow
1591
01:00:55,068 --> 01:00:57,321
and figure out what to
do about the money.
1592
01:01:11,585 --> 01:01:13,383
Harlan and I didn't meet
the next day.
1593
01:01:13,461 --> 01:01:15,213
He just called me and said
everything was okay
1594
01:01:15,297 --> 01:01:16,344
and showed up
the next week
1595
01:01:16,423 --> 01:01:18,926
with a bank check
for $1,200,000.
1596
01:01:19,509 --> 01:01:20,601
Where'd he get the money from?
1597
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,848
I loaned it to him.
Loaned it?
1598
01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:25,932
I get 50% of his wins
until the debt's paid off,
1599
01:01:26,016 --> 01:01:28,360
and then 50% for the next
two years with no exposure.
1600
01:01:29,311 --> 01:01:32,565
You're getting 50% of the wins
and no exposure on the losses?
1601
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:34,524
Yeah.
First of all,
1602
01:01:34,649 --> 01:01:36,777
he'll never climb out of that.
That's sharecropper math.
1603
01:01:37,652 --> 01:01:40,405
It's also usury.
It's racketeering.
1604
01:01:40,655 --> 01:01:42,373
Second, you can't stake a player
1605
01:01:42,449 --> 01:01:43,792
and play in a game
at the same time.
1606
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:45,327
I've been doing it
for two years.
1607
01:01:46,786 --> 01:01:48,709
You've been staking Haflan?
Yeah.
1608
01:01:50,165 --> 01:01:51,257
Jesus Christ.
1609
01:01:51,333 --> 01:01:52,880
It's not cheating.
1610
01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:54,298
It creates the opportunity
for it.
1611
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:55,424
Tell me how.
1612
01:01:55,503 --> 01:01:56,550
Are you kidding me?
Tell me how.
1613
01:01:56,630 --> 01:01:57,927
If you have interest in
another player winning...
1614
01:01:58,006 --> 01:01:59,098
You think
I'm going to take a dive?
1615
01:01:59,174 --> 01:02:00,471
And if I did,
who would care?
1616
01:02:00,842 --> 01:02:02,094
You fold your hole cards.
1617
01:02:02,177 --> 01:02:03,724
Five of clubs,
jack of hearts.
1618
01:02:03,803 --> 01:02:04,850
He's still in the game.
1619
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:07,228
It would benefit him to know
that the five of clubs...
1620
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:08,399
You think I'm signaling him?
1621
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:10,148
I'm saying it can't
fucking happen again.
1622
01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:19,278
You disapprove of me?
1623
01:02:20,654 --> 01:02:21,746
It's not personal.
1624
01:02:21,821 --> 01:02:22,947
It feels personal
when you chat up
1625
01:02:23,031 --> 01:02:24,658
every other guy at
the game except me.
1626
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:26,914
When you stay late for a drink
with J.T., but never...
1627
01:02:26,993 --> 01:02:28,415
Have you visited his Oscar?
1628
01:02:28,495 --> 01:02:29,747
I think it's bolted
on the hood of his car.
1629
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:33,212
It's noticeable when
you go out of your way
1630
01:02:33,291 --> 01:02:34,838
to demonstrate that
you have no interest in me.
1631
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:36,636
You did the same thing
to Dean.
1632
01:02:36,711 --> 01:02:38,713
These guys want to
play cards with me, not you.
1633
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:40,011
Be that as it may...
1634
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:41,553
You know who the biggest
winner in this game is?
1635
01:02:41,633 --> 01:02:42,680
It's you.
1636
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:43,931
You know who the
second-biggest winner is?
1637
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:45,353
Look...
It's you.
1638
01:02:47,013 --> 01:02:49,266
What are you taking home,
$10,000 a night now?
1639
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:51,226
That is my business,
literally.
1640

Between you, the dealers,
and the servers,
1641
01:02:53,395 --> 01:02:54,942
you're taking a lot of money
out of this game.
1642
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:56,648
Not as much
as I'm bringing to it.
1643
01:02:56,731 --> 01:02:59,109
That $10,000 is $10,000 that
doesn't go in my pocket.
1644
01:02:59,317 --> 01:03:02,287
Again. My money is...
Your money is my money.
1645
01:03:03,571 --> 01:03:04,663
Is it?
1646
01:03:05,573 --> 01:03:07,575
I think we should talk
about capping your tips.
1647
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:12,665
You want to get together
with the other players,
1648
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:16,214
who on my tax returns
are called clients,
1649
01:03:16,293 --> 01:03:18,045
and discuss putting
a ceiling on my wages?
1650
01:03:18,128 --> 01:03:19,175
That's right.

1657
01:03:34,019 --> 01:03:35,362
I'd be on the way
to the hotel,
1658
01:03:35,437 --> 01:03:36,689
and then sent me a text.

You are so fucked.

as "verticality."

When you lose the game in L.A.
and you come to New York,

you admire

If you guarantee the

1693
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,323
There's a guy who sits
outside my Starbucks

with a cardboard sign
that says, "Vietnam Vet."

name the players
who are already named

must exclusive, glamorous,
and decadent man cave.
1717
01:05:57,829 --> 01:05:59,172
So what do the
publishers get from you
1718
01:05:59,289 --> 01:06:00,461
about people
with real names?
1719
01:06:03,710 --> 01:06:05,462
My advance was $35,000.
1720
01:06:07,338 --> 01:06:08,464
Well, the first thing
I'm gonna do is
1721
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,221
get you
a minor role reduction.
1722
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:11,927
Get the 12 points
knocked down to 10.
1723
01:06:12,051 --> 01:06:13,177
What's a minor role
reduction?
1724
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,429
I'm going to argue
to the prosecutor
1725
01:06:14,554 --> 01:06:16,147
that you're an employee
1726
01:06:16,222 --> 01:06:18,020
that was hired
and fired by the players.
1727
01:06:18,183 --> 01:06:19,309
Not a chance.
1728
01:06:19,434 --> 01:06:20,481
I think
we've got a good chance.
1729
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,187
No. Not a chance I'm letting
you make that argument.
1730
01:06:22,270 --> 01:06:23,647
Why not?
It's not true.
1731
01:06:24,606 --> 01:06:26,074
Let me explain how the
point system works.
1732
01:06:26,191 --> 01:06:27,238
I know how it works.
1733
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:29,319
Points correspond
with the prosecutor's
1734
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:30,745
sentencing recommendation.
1735
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:31,867
You try to get
a point reduction
1736
01:06:31,946 --> 01:06:33,414
based on a variety
of factors,
1737
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:35,163
including, say,
prior criminal history,
1738
01:06:35,241 --> 01:06:36,413
which I don't have.
1739
01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:38,495
Or whether the defendant
played a minor role,
1740
01:06:38,578 --> 01:06:39,625
which I certainly
did not.
1741
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:40,956
You really think this is
a good time to hog credit?
1742
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,172
I built it from scratch.
1743
01:06:42,332 --> 01:06:43,333
No. There was
already a game
1744
01:06:43,416 --> 01:06:44,542
at the Cobra Lounge
when you came along.
1745
01:06:44,626 --> 01:06:46,424
The New York game is
what I'm talking abouL
1746
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:47,504
I built from scratch.
1747
01:06:47,754 --> 01:06:49,552
I wasn't fireable.
I made sure of that.
1748
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:51,056
So, no.
1749
01:06:52,592 --> 01:06:53,639
I wasn't really listening.
1750
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:55,220
I'm refusing you
permission
1751
01:06:55,303 --> 01:06:56,725
to seek
a minor role reduction.
1752
01:06:56,804 --> 01:06:58,021
I'm refusing you permission
1753
01:06:58,097 --> 01:06:59,519
to invalidate
my entire career.
1754
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:00,646
And I'm not caring.
1755
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:02,568
I built a successful...
Hey, do you want kids?
1756
01:07:05,188 --> 01:07:06,485
You interested
in having a family?
1757
01:07:07,815 --> 01:07:08,907
Very much.
1758
01:07:08,983 --> 01:07:10,109
I don't get you
some point reductions,
1759
01:07:10,235 --> 01:07:11,452
and the sentencing
recommendation
1760
01:07:11,569 --> 01:07:13,287
guidelines say
8 to 12 years.
1761
01:07:13,404 --> 01:07:14,906
And that's before
they try to jam you up
1762
01:07:14,989 --> 01:07:16,036
more for money laundering.
1763
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:17,162
Money laundering?
1764
01:07:17,242 --> 01:07:19,040
The moment you changed the
Russians' money for chips...
1765
01:07:19,118 --> 01:07:20,791
I would have had to been
aware where the money was...
1766
01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:21,996
Find me 12 men and women
1767
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,502
who'll believe that
you weren't aware
1768
01:07:23,581 --> 01:07:25,208
of exactly who was sitting
at your table
1769
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:27,714
and where the money
came from. So, that's it.
1770
01:07:27,794 --> 01:07:29,717
You were
a cocktail waitress.
1771
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:36,477
MOLLY".
When I lost the L.A. game,
1772
01:07:36,553 --> 01:07:38,146
I told myself
it was no big deal.
1773
01:07:39,430 --> 01:07:41,307
It was just supposed
to be an adventure
1774
01:07:41,391 --> 01:07:43,268
and a way
to meet influential people.
1775
01:07:43,518 --> 01:07:44,735
(PANTING)
1776
01:07:45,436 --> 01:07:48,189
And Pd saved
over $200,000.
1777
01:07:50,275 --> 01:07:52,869
But that was just a weak
firewall I'd hastily built
1778
01:07:52,944 --> 01:07:54,992
to keep out the humiliation
and depression
1779
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:56,368
I knew was coming.
1780
01:08:00,577 --> 01:08:01,749
It had to end sometime.
1781
01:08:03,871 --> 01:08:05,873
I just thought
it would be on my time.
1782
01:08:07,292 --> 01:08:10,762
The game had given me
an identity, respect,
1783
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:14,549
and a defined place in a
world that was inaccessible.
1784
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:18,261
And in one irrational
heartbeat it was taken away.
1785
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:24,897
I was irrelevant
and forgotten overnight.
1786
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,361
It'd been two weeks
since I lost the game,
1787
01:08:31,941 --> 01:08:33,739
and I made an appointment
to see someone,
1788
01:08:33,985 --> 01:08:36,408
because now the humiliation
and depression
1789
01:08:36,487 --> 01:08:38,410
had given way
to blinding anger
1790
01:08:38,489 --> 01:08:39,866
at my powerlessness
1791
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:42,043
over the unfair whims
of men.
1792
01:08:44,787 --> 01:08:47,040
It was that
there weren't any rules.
1793
01:08:47,165 --> 01:08:48,838
These power moves
weren't framed
1794
01:08:48,916 --> 01:08:50,259
by right and wrong.
1795
01:08:50,335 --> 01:08:52,508
Just ego and vanity.
1796
01:08:52,587 --> 01:08:55,090
Selfish whims with no regard
for consequence.
1797
01:08:55,173 --> 01:08:57,016
No fairness,
no justice.
1798
01:08:57,133 --> 01:09:00,103
And that giggling,
cackling call from Player X.
1799
01:09:00,261 --> 01:09:01,478
PLAYER X: (CHUCKLING)
You are so fucked.
1800
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:03,681
I couldn't lose to that
green-screened little shit,
1801
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:06,393
and I didn't want a therapist
to make me feel okay about it.
1802
01:09:07,518 --> 01:09:09,771
You know what makes me
feel okay about losing?
1803
01:09:10,438 --> 01:09:11,735
Winning.
1804
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:13,991
I got on a plane
to New York.
1805
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:18,822
Wall Street.
Madison Avenue.
1806
01:09:18,946 --> 01:09:22,246
Fifth Avenue. The Dakota.
The San Remo.
1807
01:09:22,575 --> 01:09:24,998
The players were here,
{just had to bait the hook.
1808
01:09:26,037 --> 01:09:28,836
This time
I didn't have movie stars.
1809
01:09:29,415 --> 01:09:31,793
This time
I used Playboy Playmates.
1810
01:09:32,168 --> 01:09:34,341
These weren't
just any Playmates.
1811
01:09:34,712 --> 01:09:36,305
Jesse was
a Puerto Rican knockout
1812
01:09:36,381 --> 01:09:38,099
who grew up working
in card rooms
1813
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:39,596
and was a good
player herself.
1814
01:09:40,301 --> 01:09:41,553
I could stake her,
1815
01:09:41,636 --> 01:09:42,637
infiltrate other games,
1816
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,937
and poach
their big-ticket players.
1817
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:45,014
Ready to make some money?
1818
01:09:45,098 --> 01:09:46,441
Shelby could write code
1819
01:09:46,516 --> 01:09:47,938
and run more thorough
background checks
1820
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:49,064
than the TSA.
1821
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:50,360
Here's your account
at Citibank.
1822
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:52,188
MOLLY". Winston was
the daughter
1823
01:09:52,271 --> 01:09:53,363
of an American diplomat.
1824
01:09:53,898 --> 01:09:55,400
She's lived
in nine different countries
1825
01:09:55,483 --> 01:09:56,826
and had the email addresses
1826
01:09:56,901 --> 01:09:58,653
of half
the Saudi royal family.
1827
01:09:59,737 --> 01:10:01,364
MOLLY: Who's the biggest
game in Manhattan?
1828
01:10:01,447 --> 01:10:02,448
On any given night
1829
01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:04,500
it's either Teddy Chin
or Tutti Toscano.
1830
01:10:04,784 --> 01:10:06,878
But that's Manhattan.
What do you mean?
1831
01:10:06,953 --> 01:10:09,251
The biggest game in New
York is in Brooklyn.
1832
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:10,624
Russian Jews.
1833
01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:13,802
Buy-in's 100k, no one runs the
game, they just play and pay.
1834
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:15,761
MOLLY". We couldn't
promise anyone
1835
01:10:15,837 --> 01:10:17,714
they'd rub elbows
with movie stars,
1836
01:10:17,797 --> 01:10:20,175
but New York has one
thing Hollywood doesn't.
1837
01:10:20,425 --> 01:10:21,426
The Yankees.
1838
01:10:21,676 --> 01:10:23,144
And there was one Yankee
in particular
1839
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:25,813
that every man in America
would line up to lose to.
1840
01:10:25,888 --> 01:10:27,140
Don't say his name
out loud.
1841
01:10:27,223 --> 01:10:28,896
Write it on
a cocktail napkin.
1842
01:10:29,058 --> 01:10:30,184
Crumple the napkin up.
1843
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:31,527
Put it in
a glass of water,
1844
01:10:31,602 --> 01:10:32,899
so they can see
the ink dissolve.
1845
01:10:33,312 --> 01:10:34,404
That's really
necessary?
1846
01:10:34,522 --> 01:10:35,694
No, it's not at
all necessary.
1847
01:10:35,982 --> 01:10:37,484
When do we tell them the
game is going to start?
1848
01:10:38,443 --> 01:10:39,786
Tell them
it's been happening
1849
01:10:39,861 --> 01:10:41,829
once a week
for about six months
1850
01:10:41,904 --> 01:10:43,622
atalocafion you won't
disclose right now.
1851
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:45,746
There's a pretty long
waiting list for a chair,
1852
01:10:45,825 --> 01:10:49,625
but Molly's here somewhere, and
I'll introduce you to her.
1853
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:52,173
50k buy-in,
blinds are five and one?
1854
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:53,962
Yeah, 50...
1855
01:10:57,837 --> 01:10:59,760
MOI? 50k buy-in?
1856
01:11:00,298 --> 01:11:02,517
No. 250.
1857
01:11:03,384 --> 01:11:04,761
That's gonna make noise.
1858
01:11:05,178 --> 01:11:07,522
Enough to be heard
on Rodeo Drive.
1859
01:11:10,683 --> 01:11:11,855
(BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING)
1860
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:13,277
The Gold Coast
of Long Island
1861
01:11:13,352 --> 01:11:14,899
has been home
to the Vanderbilts,
1862
01:11:15,021 --> 01:11:16,614
Roosevelts, Whitneys,
1863
01:11:16,731 --> 01:11:18,859
J.P. Morgan,
and F.W. Woolworth.
1864
01:11:19,025 --> 01:11:20,493
It's an impossible ticket
to get.
1865
01:11:21,444 --> 01:11:22,696
But I can talk
to Molly.
1866
01:11:22,779 --> 01:11:25,032
MOLLY". Tonight was a $1
QOOO-per-person fundraiser
1867
01:11:25,156 --> 01:11:26,453
to pay for major
renovations
1868
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:28,000
at the East Hampton
Yacht Club.
1869
01:11:28,201 --> 01:11:29,498
Molly's around
here somewhere.
1870
01:11:29,619 --> 01:11:31,496
I could introduce you, but I
wouldn't get my hopes up.
1871
01:11:31,662 --> 01:11:32,663
MOLLY". That's for real.
1872
01:11:32,747 --> 01:11:34,169
There was a charity event
for residents
1873
01:11:34,248 --> 01:11:35,795
of the Hamptons
who own yachts.
1874
01:11:36,292 --> 01:11:38,761
In my business, that's called
a target-rich environment.
1875
01:11:38,836 --> 01:11:41,840
I have to tell you, the
initial buy-in is $250,000.
1876
01:11:41,923 --> 01:11:44,802
$250,000? That's almost
as much as my second car.
1877
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:47,978
Do your friends come
to the games?
1878
01:11:48,137 --> 01:11:49,184
Mmm-hmm.
1879
01:11:49,263 --> 01:11:50,435
MOLLY 1 It took
only seven weeks of
1880
01:11:50,515 --> 01:11:51,767
recruiting to get
ten players
1881
01:11:51,849 --> 01:11:53,442
and seven on a waiting list.
1882
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:54,936
And in these circles,
1883
01:11:55,019 --> 01:11:57,442
that was more than enough
to start the mythology.
1884
01:11:58,314 --> 01:11:59,861
By morning,
gamblers would be
1885
01:11:59,941 --> 01:12:02,239
telling and hearing stories
about this game in London,
1886
01:12:02,610 --> 01:12:03,702
Tokyo, and Dubai.
1887
01:12:03,778 --> 01:12:04,825
All in.
1888
01:12:04,904 --> 01:12:05,996
At the end of that year,
1889
01:12:06,072 --> 01:12:10,999
I reported an income
of $4,773,000,
1890
01:12:11,202 --> 01:12:13,921
every square inch of it
legal and on the books.
1891
01:12:14,497 --> 01:12:16,875
I was the biggest
game runner in the world.
1892
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:20,128
AH tips. I still
hadn't taken a rake.
1893
01:12:20,336 --> 01:12:21,804
And I still hadn't
accidentally recruited
1894
01:12:21,879 --> 01:12:23,802
members of
a Russian crime syndicate.
1895
01:12:24,549 --> 01:12:27,098
In the beginning, I was
using drugs to stay awake.
1896
01:12:27,385 --> 01:12:28,477
First Adderall,
1897
01:12:28,594 --> 01:12:31,438
then Adderall crushed up
to defeat the time release.
1898
01:12:31,514 --> 01:12:34,859
Then coke, Valium, Vicodin,
Percocet, and more Adderall.
1899
01:12:35,434 --> 01:12:37,983
I rented a penthouse apartment
and installed plasma screens
1900
01:12:38,062 --> 01:12:39,279
for the sports betters.
1901
01:12:39,939 --> 01:12:41,111
I had the lower-stakes games
1902
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,784
on Wednesdays, Thursdays,
and Sundays at my place,
1903
01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:46,079
with Tuesday night at the
Plaza being the big game.
1904
01:12:46,779 --> 01:12:47,996
At 7:00, the dealers came,
1905
01:12:48,072 --> 01:12:49,540
and the table was set up
and polished,
1906
01:12:49,615 --> 01:12:51,162
and 10 chairs were placed
around it,
1907
01:12:51,242 --> 01:12:52,869
exactly 12 inches apart.
1908
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,121
I used custom chips
1909
01:12:55,204 --> 01:12:57,707
and two dealers who worked
an hour on, an hour off,
1910
01:12:57,790 --> 01:13:00,213
with a new crew coming in
after 12 hours.
1911
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:03,092
Casinos had discovered that
certain scents
1912
01:13:03,170 --> 01:13:05,468
make people more likely
to place big bets.
1913
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:08,176
The casinos pump those scents
in through the ventilation.
1914
01:13:08,676 --> 01:13:10,178
I had custom candles made.
1915
01:13:11,846 --> 01:13:14,190
I'd been working with
a new dealer named
1916
01:13:14,307 --> 01:13:16,230
Not like Beatrice,
just the initial.
1917
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:18,773
She'd been working
in trashy card rooms
1918
01:13:18,853 --> 01:13:20,855
on the East Side,
and we became friends.
1919
01:13:22,315 --> 01:13:23,567
Tone it down.
1920
01:13:23,649 --> 01:13:25,276
The big players
don't like fast hands.
1921
01:13:28,779 --> 01:13:31,248
Sarcastic dealing, cool.
1922
01:13:31,908 --> 01:13:34,502
You've gotta do it.
Not doing it is insanity.
1923
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:36,250
You must be able
to see that?
1924
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:39,002
You've been stiffed four
or five times,
1925
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:41,379
you've got hundreds
of thousands on the street.
1926
01:13:41,459 --> 01:13:42,961
That's money you're
never gonna see again.
1927
01:13:44,045 --> 01:13:46,468
MOLLY". B had been suggesting
it for a long time.
1928
01:13:47,256 --> 01:13:48,678
(DOORBELL RINGS)
She was suggesting it again
1929
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:50,385
because of an incident
the week before.
1930
01:13:50,468 --> 01:13:51,640
Hey, Cole.
Hey.
1931
01:13:51,719 --> 01:13:53,813
Come on in. Thanks.
You got my check?
1932
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:57,434
I do. It's right here.
Thank you.
1933
01:13:57,516 --> 01:13:59,689
Hey, can I show you
something on TV?
1934
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:01,897
Actually,
I'm in kind of a hurry.
1935
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:03,447
It'll just take a second.
Have a seat.
1936
01:14:06,776 --> 01:14:08,824
This is last
Tuesday's game.
1937
01:14:09,403 --> 01:14:10,450
Shit, Molly,
1938
01:14:10,529 --> 01:14:12,156
if the guys find out you've
got cameras on them,
1939
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:13,456
they're gonna go nuts.
1940
01:14:14,075 --> 01:14:15,952
Yeah. That's you
in the seventh chair.
1941
01:14:16,035 --> 01:14:17,161
Look at your stack
of chips.
1942
01:14:17,244 --> 01:14:18,587
I've got a cab
downstairs. Can we just...
1943
01:14:18,663 --> 01:14:19,755
Look at the time stamp.
1944
01:14:20,164 --> 01:14:21,882
1:06 a.m.
1945
01:14:22,291 --> 01:14:23,918
Let's fast-forward
to 1:07.
1946
01:14:24,001 --> 01:14:25,878
1:07 you lose a hand
to Boosty.
1947
01:14:26,128 --> 01:14:28,256
What is this?
1:08...
1948
01:14:28,464 --> 01:14:29,886
Our sheets say
you didn't buy in again
1949
01:14:30,007 --> 01:14:31,475
between 1:06 and 1:08.
1950
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:33,762
But look at that.
Your stack's bigger.
1951
01:14:33,928 --> 01:14:35,180
I can explain.
It's just...
1952
01:14:35,304 --> 01:14:36,305
Okay, let's rewind.
1953
01:14:36,430 --> 01:14:38,524
This screen's got
the dealer changeover
1954
01:14:38,641 --> 01:14:41,315
while at the same time
on this screen, and...
1955
01:14:43,396 --> 01:14:44,613
There we are.
1956
01:14:44,689 --> 01:14:47,033
This is why
I can't reconcile $57,000
1957
01:14:47,108 --> 01:14:48,234
from Tuesday's game.
1958
01:14:48,359 --> 01:14:49,827
A 7-Eleven's
got security cameras
1959
01:14:49,902 --> 01:14:50,903
on their slushie machine.
1960
01:14:50,987 --> 01:14:52,614
I've got a million dollars
changing hands
1961
01:14:52,697 --> 01:14:54,324
every two minutes, imbecile.
1962
01:14:54,448 --> 01:14:56,200
You don't think
I've got eyes on the table?
1963
01:14:58,995 --> 01:15:00,212
Relax.
1964
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:06,461
I... I owe people money.
I know.
1965
01:15:06,585 --> 01:15:08,087
Why isn't it coming
from the trust fund?
1966
01:15:08,170 --> 01:15:10,343
I need my parents'
permission to get that much.
1967
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:11,966
And they'd kill me.
1968
01:15:12,049 --> 01:15:13,301
You don't even understand
what it's like.
1969
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:15,224
People just don't realize
trust fund kids
1970
01:15:15,302 --> 01:15:16,849
are suffering
in this economy too.
1971
01:15:16,971 --> 01:15:18,439
I realize
what I did was wrong...
1972
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,061
Did it take a lot of
soul-searching to
1973
01:15:20,141 --> 01:15:21,142
get you there?
I meant that...
1974
01:15:21,225 --> 01:15:22,226
First of all,
1975
01:15:22,309 --> 01:15:23,561
the guys that are making
the counterfeit chips,
1976
01:15:23,644 --> 01:15:24,896
they're taking you
for a ride.
1977
01:15:24,979 --> 01:15:26,981
They know that there are
signatures built in the chips,
1978
01:15:27,064 --> 01:15:29,692
exact weight,
infrared markings...
1979
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:31,573
(GASPS)
Breathe. Second...
1980
01:15:31,652 --> 01:15:33,029
Don't try this
at anyone else's game,
1981
01:15:33,112 --> 01:15:34,284
because if you do,
1982
01:15:34,363 --> 01:15:35,489
they're gonna express
their anger
1983
01:15:35,573 --> 01:15:37,541
in a much different way
than I am.
1984
01:15:37,825 --> 01:15:39,418
You owe me $57,000.
1985
01:15:39,493 --> 01:15:40,870
When I get it,
you get the tape.
1986
01:15:40,953 --> 01:15:42,079
But until then,
1987
01:15:42,163 --> 01:15:44,586
you don't play
in anyone's game.
1988
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:47,339
So, when Tuesday night
came, B was at it again.
1989
01:15:47,418 --> 01:15:49,091
B: Your exposure's crazy.
1990
01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:51,255
It's not if, it's when.
1991
01:15:51,505 --> 01:15:52,631
You're gonna get
blown up.
1992
01:15:53,340 --> 01:15:55,013
Your risk is nuts.
1993
01:15:55,926 --> 01:15:58,270
If I took a rake, this game
would no longer be legal.
1994
01:15:58,345 --> 01:15:59,517
And if you can't cover,
1995
01:15:59,597 --> 01:16:01,315
this game
will no longer exist.
1996
01:16:02,141 --> 01:16:03,484
You're the bank now.
1997
01:16:04,101 --> 01:16:06,069
You're guaranteeing
the game.
1998
01:16:08,939 --> 01:16:11,783
If you see a hand
you don't want to carry,
1999
01:16:11,859 --> 01:16:13,236
just look at me,
2000
01:16:13,569 --> 01:16:15,321
flash me a number,
2001
01:16:15,404 --> 01:16:16,781
and I'll take it off
the table.
2002
01:16:18,908 --> 01:16:21,206
Most runners
cap it at 5%.
2003
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:24,797
I'll see you out there.
See you out there.
2004
01:16:24,914 --> 01:16:26,040
(SCOFFS)
2005
01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:28,425
(DOOR CLOSES)
2006
01:16:43,682 --> 01:16:45,184
MOLLY: Two weeks later,
around 2:00 a.m.,
2007
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:48,020
there was a pot that was up
to $1.3 million pre-flop.
2008
01:16:48,104 --> 01:16:49,105
PLAYER: Call.
2009
01:16:49,188 --> 01:16:50,485
MOLLY:
With five players still in.
2010
01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:54,572
My hope was that the flop
would chase four of them off.
2011
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,071
PLAYER: $200,000.
2012
01:16:57,154 --> 01:16:58,371
Raise $100,000.
2013
01:17:01,408 --> 01:17:03,251
$300,000 to you, sir.
2014
01:17:03,327 --> 01:17:04,453
Call.
2015
01:17:05,246 --> 01:17:07,624
MOLLY". There was now
$2.1 million on the table.
2016
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:12,219
$300,000 to you, sir.
2017
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:15,882
Plus 200.
2018
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:17,512
MOLLY: $2.6 million.
2019
01:17:24,515 --> 01:17:25,732
$3 million.
2020
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:27,859
She was right.
2021
01:17:27,935 --> 01:17:29,937
I was extending credit.
Big numbers.
2022
01:17:30,020 --> 01:17:31,363
And it's not like
Harlan Eustice
2023
01:17:31,438 --> 01:17:33,611
hadn't already put
the fear of God into me.
2024
01:17:34,024 --> 01:17:37,324
If I couldn't pay one time,
that'd be the end of the game.
2025
01:17:38,237 --> 01:17:39,614
I was the house.
2026
01:17:43,492 --> 01:17:45,790
That's how quickly
I made the decision.
2027
01:17:45,870 --> 01:17:46,871
And just as quickly,
2028
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:50,003
B calculated 2% of the pot
and took it off the table.
2029
01:17:52,918 --> 01:17:54,044
That was it.
2030
01:17:54,128 --> 01:17:55,129
I had just taken a rake
2031
01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:59,183
in violation
of U.S. Criminal Code 1955.
2032
01:18:04,763 --> 01:18:06,857
It's time
to introduce Douglas Downey,
2033
01:18:06,932 --> 01:18:09,185
'cause Downey's gonna
take us all the way home.
2034
01:18:09,268 --> 01:18:10,861
Downey was a drunk,
and he'd stay after the game
2035
01:18:10,936 --> 01:18:12,734
and hang out
while I did the books.
2036
01:18:13,731 --> 01:18:15,483
He was hard to understand
when he was drunk,
2037
01:18:15,566 --> 01:18:17,284
and his conversation openers
would always sound like
2038
01:18:17,359 --> 01:18:19,077
the title
of a detective novel.
2039
01:18:19,445 --> 01:18:21,197
Victim of circumstance.
2040
01:18:21,906 --> 01:18:22,953
Yeah.
2041
01:18:25,910 --> 01:18:27,662
Story of,
you know...
2042
01:18:28,662 --> 01:18:31,336
Story of my proverbial,
you know...
2043
01:18:36,420 --> 01:18:38,263
Life?
Life.
2044
01:18:39,673 --> 01:18:41,016
MOLLY: He'd talk
about his marriage.
2045
01:18:41,717 --> 01:18:43,685
I married young, Mol.
2046
01:18:44,887 --> 01:18:47,515
I married young,
and I married dull.
2047
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,270
If I'd been born in Greenwich
instead of Flushing...
2048
01:18:51,352 --> 01:18:52,774
MOLLY: He talked about
wanting a better life.
2049
01:18:52,853 --> 01:18:54,275
New Canaan.
2050
01:18:54,396 --> 01:18:59,118
Gone to Rye Country Day.
Princeton.
2051
01:19:00,903 --> 01:19:02,371
The life I'd have.
2052
01:19:03,447 --> 01:19:04,869
The wife I'd have.
2053
01:19:04,949 --> 01:19:06,667
I'd be a player.
2054
01:19:06,742 --> 01:19:08,039
(CHUCKLES)

01:19:10,204 --> 01:19:11,706
Victim of
circumstance.
2056
01:19:15,584 --> 01:19:18,133
Mol, these are things
I only say to you.
2057
01:19:19,046 --> 01:19:20,263
Good call.
2058
01:19:20,339 --> 01:19:23,013
And he'd talk about
another game he played in.
2059
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:24,719
It was the Brooklyn game.
2060
01:19:24,802 --> 01:19:25,974
The Brighton Beach game
2061
01:19:26,053 --> 01:19:28,272
where they played all night
and all day.
2062
01:19:28,347 --> 01:19:30,520
The game that was populated
by Russians.
2063
01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:32,693
I'm the only Irish guy
they'll let play.
2064
01:19:33,852 --> 01:19:37,197
Mol, these are the nicest
guys I've ever met.
2065
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:40,864
Then one night, Douglas Downey
lost $80,000 at my game
2066
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:41,990
and didn't have it.
2067
01:19:42,528 --> 01:19:44,201
Winston, can I have
the room, please?
2068
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:45,657
Sure.
2069
01:19:45,739 --> 01:19:47,207
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hmm.
2070
01:19:51,537 --> 01:19:53,539
You won
$190,000 last week.
2071
01:19:53,622 --> 01:19:56,796
Lowe Teddy Chin
and Tutti... (SIGHS)
2072
01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:58,798
Right. And some sports bets.
2073
01:19:58,877 --> 01:20:01,471
I'm a winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2074
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:02,764
Stop.
Yeah.
2075
01:20:03,716 --> 01:20:05,309
The Brooklyn game.
2076
01:20:06,135 --> 01:20:07,478
Is everything
I've heard true?
2077
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,313
What have you heard?
2078
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:10,685
The Russians have
deep pockets,
2079
01:20:10,764 --> 01:20:12,892
bad at poker, give
action, pay instantly,
2080
01:20:12,975 --> 01:20:15,228
and wear a coat and tie.
That's all true.
2081
01:20:19,940 --> 01:20:20,987
Bring me some
of those players,
2082
01:20:21,108 --> 01:20:22,200
and I'll give you
a piece of the game
2083
01:20:22,318 --> 01:20:23,490
until your 80k
is paid down.
2084
01:20:24,403 --> 01:20:26,451
Loser is what
I was gonna say.
2085
01:20:26,530 --> 01:20:28,203
Winner trapped inside
the body of a...
2086
01:20:28,282 --> 01:20:30,000
I know. Got it.
...loser.
2087
01:20:30,075 --> 01:20:31,372
Can you bring me
some players?
2088
01:20:31,452 --> 01:20:33,250
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.
2089
01:20:33,871 --> 01:20:35,919
Do you understand the
deal I'm offering you?
2090
01:20:35,998 --> 01:20:38,342
No, I'm saying this
because you're Irish,
2091
01:20:38,625 --> 01:20:40,502
and they may not want
to play in your game.
2092
01:20:40,586 --> 01:20:42,213
I'm the only Irish guy
they let play.
2093
01:20:42,338 --> 01:20:43,510
I'm not Irish.
2094
01:20:43,756 --> 01:20:45,008
(CHUCKLES)
2095
01:20:46,842 --> 01:20:48,560
You're not?
No.
2096
01:20:50,637 --> 01:20:51,763
Molly Bloom?
2097
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,599
You're thinking of the
James Joyce character.
2098
01:20:55,559 --> 01:20:57,482
I always thought
you were Irish.
2099
01:20:58,062 --> 01:20:59,860
I'm not. Can you bring
me some players?
2100
01:20:59,980 --> 01:21:02,654
Isn't there a famous book...
Okay, Douglas, focus up.
2101
01:21:02,733 --> 01:21:05,077
Yes, there's a book by James
Joyce called Ulysses,
2102
01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:06,324
and there's a character
named Molly Bloom,
2103
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:07,950
and that is why
you think I'm Irish,
2104
01:21:08,030 --> 01:21:09,998
but now it's time
to move past that.
2105
01:21:10,074 --> 01:21:12,042
Can you bring me some
Brighton Beach players?
2106
01:21:15,037 --> 01:21:16,505
If you're not Irish,
what are you?
2107
01:21:17,498 --> 01:21:18,966
I'm a Russian Jew.
2108
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:21,844
The next week
I had some new players.
2109
01:21:22,294 --> 01:21:23,671
Mike was the first one
to arrive.
2110
01:21:23,754 --> 01:21:25,301
Good evening. I'm Jesse.
I'm Mike Davidoff.
2111
01:21:25,381 --> 01:21:27,054
MOLLY". Mike owned a chain
of medical clinics
2112
01:21:27,132 --> 01:21:29,601
and had already posted
with a wire transfer.
2113
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:31,349
Next were
the Gershen brothers,
2114
01:21:31,428 --> 01:21:32,805
Hiya and Alexei.
2115
01:21:32,888 --> 01:21:35,357
They were in the business
of exporting steel to China.
2116
01:21:35,432 --> 01:21:36,979
Alexei brought a quarter
of a million dollars
2117
01:21:37,059 --> 01:21:38,356
in cash in a backpack.
2118
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,607
Mr. Habib, good evening.
I'm Shelby.
2119
01:21:42,815 --> 01:21:45,694
(CHUCKLES) I'm Shelly. Only
one letter's different.
2120
01:21:46,276 --> 01:21:47,402
Also, I'm a billionaire.
2121
01:21:47,528 --> 01:21:48,529
I think I may have
seen you naked.
2122
01:21:48,695 --> 01:21:50,697
No. You would remember.
2123
01:21:51,323 --> 01:21:52,950
MOLLY: And then
Shelly Habib.
2124
01:21:53,033 --> 01:21:54,876
The Habib family owns
the largest collection
2125
01:21:54,952 --> 01:21:56,545
of classical art
in the world,
2126
01:21:56,620 --> 01:21:58,372
valued at $3 billion,
2127
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:01,049
and Shelly runs the Hallie
Gallery on Madison Avenue.
2128
01:22:01,166 --> 01:22:04,010
As for tonight, I was not able
to put my hands on cash today,
2129
01:22:04,086 --> 01:22:06,714
because I woke up this morning
after the banks had closed.
2130
01:22:06,797 --> 01:22:08,219
So, I'm hoping
you'll accept this
2131
01:22:08,298 --> 01:22:09,766
as temporary collateral.
2132
01:22:12,845 --> 01:22:16,145
That is an authentic Monet.
2133
01:22:16,223 --> 01:22:17,770
Grabbed it right
off the wall.
2134
01:22:18,976 --> 01:22:21,149
You came over here
carrying a Monet?
2135
01:22:21,228 --> 01:22:24,448
I was driven, and I have
security outside the door.
2136
01:22:24,523 --> 01:22:26,116
Okay, Shelly.
2137
01:22:26,191 --> 01:22:29,411
Here's what I need you to do.
I need you to get this, what,
2138
01:22:29,486 --> 01:22:30,533
four?
Seven.
2139
01:22:30,612 --> 01:22:32,706
$7 million painting
out of here right now.
2140
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:35,284
And you're, I assume, armed?
Sure.
2141
01:22:35,367 --> 01:22:36,914
Security can't stand
in front of the door.
2142
01:22:37,119 --> 01:22:38,917
Fix this up, come on back,
2143
01:22:38,996 --> 01:22:41,294
and I'll extend you credit
tonight up to one and a half.
2144
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:43,793
You're a very
beautiful woman.
2145
01:22:44,209 --> 01:22:45,506
Please be careful
with the painting.
2146
01:22:45,586 --> 01:22:46,678
Always.
2147
01:22:47,004 --> 01:22:49,757
MOLLY". Mike, Hiya, Alexei,
and Shelly.
2148
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,842
Those were the players
Doug Downey brought me.
2149
01:22:51,925 --> 01:22:54,428
As advertised, they played
loose, gave action,
2150
01:22:54,511 --> 01:22:57,435
lost to the regulars,
and settled right away.
2151
01:22:57,514 --> 01:22:58,811
People have asked,
2152
01:22:58,891 --> 01:23:00,564
"Wasn't there any way to tell
that some of the players
2153
01:23:00,642 --> 01:23:01,939
"at your game
were connected
2154
01:23:02,019 --> 01:23:03,145
"to one of the darkest,
deadliest,
2155
01:23:03,228 --> 01:23:04,571
"and far-reaching organized
2156
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:06,398
"crime syndicates
in the world?"
2157
01:23:06,482 --> 01:23:08,405
No. There wasn't.
2158
01:23:09,026 --> 01:23:10,994
I'm gonna go all in.
ALL: Aww!
2159
01:24:04,081 --> 01:24:05,458
(DOOR CLOSES)
2160
01:24:05,541 --> 01:24:06,793
(SIGHS)
2161
01:24:08,377 --> 01:24:09,549
lwish I had better news.
2162
01:24:10,837 --> 01:24:13,340
Harrison Wellstone didn't go
for the minor role reduction?
2163
01:24:13,423 --> 01:24:14,845
No.
2164
01:24:14,925 --> 01:24:16,472
He didn't buy that I was
a cocktail waitress?
2165
01:24:16,552 --> 01:24:17,929
No.
Aww.
2166
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:19,429
Is it because I wasn't?
2167
01:24:19,555 --> 01:24:22,308
Hey, I tried, which is what
you're not paying me to do.
2168
01:24:22,432 --> 01:24:23,558
So, what now?
2169
01:24:23,642 --> 01:24:24,939
The government is
expressing an interest
2170
01:24:25,018 --> 01:24:26,361
in you being
a cooperating witness.
2171
01:24:26,436 --> 01:24:27,483
You don't say?
2172
01:24:27,563 --> 01:24:28,689
Molly. Who could have possibly
2173
01:24:28,772 --> 01:24:30,365
seen that coming? Let's
have the conversation.
2174
01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:31,692
It'll be short,
because I don't know
2175
01:24:31,775 --> 01:24:32,867
anything at all
that can help them.
2176
01:24:32,943 --> 01:24:34,445
You don't know anything that
can help them convict
2177
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:35,950
the Russians, but you know
things that can help them.
2178
01:24:36,029 --> 01:24:38,373
Did you know that
97% of federal cases
2179
01:24:38,448 --> 01:24:39,700
never make it to trial?
2180
01:24:39,783 --> 01:24:41,831
Even though the chances
of being convicted at trial
2181
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:42,957
is a little more
than one in 100?
2182
01:24:43,078 --> 01:24:44,500
If you want to go to trial,
that's fine.
2183
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:47,215
But it's gonna cost you in
the area of $3.5 million.
2184
01:24:47,332 --> 01:24:48,879
Which the Justice Department
knows I don't have,
2185
01:24:48,959 --> 01:24:51,087
because they took all
my money in a civil forfeiture
2186
01:24:51,169 --> 01:24:54,093
which they can do without a
warrant, because my property
2187
01:24:54,172 --> 01:24:55,799
doesn't have a presumption
of innocence.
2188
01:24:55,924 --> 01:24:58,052
Then after I'm arrested
by 17 agents
2189
01:24:58,135 --> 01:24:59,512
holding automatic weapons...
2190
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:02,018
Totally necessary, not at all
meant to intimidate me...
2191
01:25:02,097 --> 01:25:03,394
I'm given two days
to hire a lawyer
2192
01:25:03,473 --> 01:25:04,520
and appear in a courtroom
2193
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:05,647
on the other side
of the country.
2194
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:06,773
If you're saying that
2195
01:25:06,852 --> 01:25:08,729
everything that happens from
the moment you are arrested
2196
01:25:08,812 --> 01:25:10,655
is designed to persuade you
to plead guilty,
2197
01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:11,819
you are correct.
2198
01:25:11,898 --> 01:25:13,115
So, tell me all the ways
I can help,
2199
01:25:13,233 --> 01:25:14,485
because I really feel
I owe it to them.
2200
01:25:15,193 --> 01:25:16,410
Oh, speaking of owing,
2201
01:25:16,486 --> 01:25:18,784
the IRS put a tax lien on
the money they took from me.
2202
01:25:18,864 --> 01:25:20,707
Are you kidding...
(SIGHS)
2203
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:21,829
All right.
None of that matters.
2204
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:23,125
Taking my money
wasn't a tax.
2205
01:25:23,201 --> 01:25:25,044
I also need to give them
my money,
2206
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:26,838
or they will take it again.
None of that matters.
2207
01:25:26,955 --> 01:25:28,298
It needed to be said.
Not really.
2208
01:25:28,415 --> 01:25:29,917
So, to be clear,
you're not interested
2209
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,092
in entering
a cooperation agreement
2210
01:25:31,168 --> 01:25:32,169
with the prosecutors?
2211
01:25:32,252 --> 01:25:33,925
If I had testimony
that would lead
2212
01:25:34,004 --> 01:25:35,256
to the conviction
of a bad guy,
2213
01:25:35,339 --> 01:25:38,058
no one would have to
coerce me into cooperating.
2214
01:25:38,216 --> 01:25:40,014
But I don't.
I have dirt.
2215
01:25:40,177 --> 01:25:41,724
I have dish.
I have gossip.
2216
01:25:41,803 --> 01:25:43,305
So, my value
to the prosecution
2217
01:25:43,388 --> 01:25:45,937
is exactly the same
as it is to Hollywood.
2218
01:25:46,016 --> 01:25:47,063
I'm here to ensure
2219
01:25:47,142 --> 01:25:48,894
the New York Post
covers the trial.
2220
01:25:48,977 --> 01:25:50,229
I'm here to sell tickets.
2221
01:25:50,312 --> 01:25:52,690
Which is nonetheless
value to the prosecution,
2222
01:25:52,773 --> 01:25:54,616
so what we do
is leverage it
2223
01:25:54,691 --> 01:25:56,318
to get you a favorable

What does he have
you doing now?
2229
01:26:06,745 --> 01:26:07,917
An essay on
three poems
2230
01:26:07,996 --> 01:26:09,339
with what he believes
are a common theme.
2231
01:26:09,414 --> 01:26:11,633
Not an essay.
Two paragraphs.
2232

Which three poems? "Close,"
"Rush," and "Walls."

in the head.

You think I'm too
hard on her?

a third party

that I'm accused of breaking,

it defines gambling as
betting on games ofchance.

Yes. Poker isn't

of chance.

He'd been falsely reporting
profits for years.
2309

He wasn't even registered
with the SEC.

to him by friends

on a range of subjects,

including how,
three years earlier,
2320
01:29:42,460 --> 01:29:44,633
he lost $5.2 million
2321
01:29:44,713 --> 01:29:46,681
in an underground
celebrity poker game
2322
01:29:46,756 --> 01:29:49,350
that was run by a girl
named Molly Bloom.
2323
01:29:49,426 --> 01:29:51,099
His story was that
I'd induced him

to play in
a high stakes game...

you to Brad Marion.

...and that due
to my enabling,

01:29:55,056 --> 01:29:56,308
he'd become
a gambling addict.

become a gambling addict.

Brad, this game might
not be for you.

were brought in
2331

to recover as much of the
boosted money as they could.

01:30:05,275 --> 01:30:06,322

2333
01:30:06,401 --> 01:30:08,278
and flew out to L.A.
to be deposed.
2334
01:30:08,653 --> 01:30:10,326
Can you confirm the
names on the list
2335
01:30:10,405 --> 01:30:11,998
all played poker
with Brad Marion?
2336
01:30:12,407 --> 01:30:14,501
This list was provided
to you by Brad Marion?
2337
01:30:14,576 --> 01:30:16,044
I just need you to confirm
for the record
2338
01:30:16,119 --> 01:30:18,167
that your game included,
but was not limited to,
2339

the players on this list.
I understand.

What I'm trying to get
on the record
2341
01:30:20,582 --> 01:30:22,425
is that I'm not the one
who provided the list.
2342

These names were provided
by Brad Marion.
2343

Yes.
2345
01:30:31,176 --> 01:30:33,520

the list is accurate.

and I were given a choice.

a check for $500,000.

01:30:45,273 --> 01:30:48,152
And somewhere in an FBI
field office in New York,
2352
01:30:48,443 --> 01:30:50,411
someone was pinning
my picture to a wall.

locations in a night.
2355
01:30:56,952 --> 01:30:59,250
And by this point,
I was addicted to drugs,

Xanax, coke,

01:31:24,938 --> 01:31:26,565
It didn't feel
like depression,

01:31:26,648 --> 01:31:28,366

2397
01:32:37,802 --> 01:32:40,021
and I've been dreaming...
Stop it.
2398
01:32:40,096 --> 01:32:41,313
Listen to me, Douglas.
2399
01:32:41,389 --> 01:32:43,517
I'm the woman all of you
have always dreamed of.
2400
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,102
I'm the anti-wife.
2401
01:32:45,435 --> 01:32:46,527
I encourage your gambling.
2402
01:32:46,603 --> 01:32:49,777
I have drinks served to you by
models who simultaneously create
2403
01:32:49,856 --> 01:32:51,449
the impression
that you're the kind of guy
2404
01:32:51,524 --> 01:32:53,447
who can score a dime piece
anytime you want.
2405
01:32:53,526 --> 01:32:55,494
It's nice for
you in here.
2406
01:32:56,237 --> 01:32:57,830
Do you know who Circe was?
2407
01:32:58,448 --> 01:32:59,495
Urn...
2408
01:33:00,158 --> 01:33:01,330
Circe?
2409
01:33:02,535 --> 01:33:03,707
Used to play
in Teddy Chin's game?
2410
01:33:03,787 --> 01:33:04,788
Nope.
2411
01:33:05,121 --> 01:33:06,873
Circe did not play
in Teddy's game.
2412
01:33:06,956 --> 01:33:08,958
She was the Greek
goddess of magic.
2413
01:33:09,042 --> 01:33:11,795
And she gave men feasts
with wine and honey,
2414
01:33:11,878 --> 01:33:13,972
and then turned them
into swine.
2415
01:33:14,089 --> 01:33:15,306
Why?
2416
01:33:15,381 --> 01:33:16,883
Fantastic question.
2417
01:33:17,801 --> 01:33:20,020
I would never
do that to you.
2418
01:33:20,470 --> 01:33:22,438
Missed the point by
miles, but that's okay.
2419
01:33:22,889 --> 01:33:23,890
Oh.
2420
01:33:25,016 --> 01:33:26,643
Um, Molly.
2421
01:33:26,726 --> 01:33:28,524
Shelby and Winston
will close up.
2422
01:33:30,063 --> 01:33:31,360
I'll see you next week.
2423
01:33:37,695 --> 01:33:39,697
Here you go.
Thanks a lot, Randy.
2424
01:33:39,781 --> 01:33:41,124
Thanks, Molly.
2425
01:33:41,199 --> 01:33:43,418
Good morning.
Morning, Pat.
2426
01:33:44,119 --> 01:33:46,417
Pat was my driver
and security.
2427
01:33:47,705 --> 01:33:49,503
Straight home?
Yeah.
2428
01:33:49,582 --> 01:33:50,834
We didn't know much
more about each other
2429
01:33:50,917 --> 01:33:52,043
than we needed to know,
2430
01:33:52,127 --> 01:33:53,174
but I liked him.
2431
01:33:53,253 --> 01:33:54,505
We were friends.
2432
01:34:01,094 --> 01:34:03,188
I used to be
a competitive athlete.
2433
01:34:04,931 --> 01:34:06,524
I didn't know
if you knew that.
2434
01:34:06,599 --> 01:34:07,771
What sport?
2435
01:34:08,476 --> 01:34:09,648
Skiing.
2436
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:11,817
Freestyle.
2437
01:34:12,355 --> 01:34:13,777
Were you good?
2438
01:34:16,776 --> 01:34:18,244
I don't know.
2439
01:34:26,035 --> 01:34:27,036
Hey, Molly,
can I ask you something?
2440
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,167
MOLLY". Pat asked me a favor.
2441
01:34:28,246 --> 01:34:30,465
He said there were a couple of
hedge fund guys in New Jersey
2442
01:34:30,540 --> 01:34:31,632
who wanted to play,
2443
01:34:31,708 --> 01:34:32,925
and he could score points
with them
2444
01:34:33,001 --> 01:34:34,753
if he was able to get them
a meeting with me.
2445
01:34:34,836 --> 01:34:36,463
I said sure,
and set the meeting
2446
01:34:36,546 --> 01:34:38,014
for 5:00 p.m.
on a Thursday
2447
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:39,386
at the Four Seasons bar,
2448
01:34:39,465 --> 01:34:41,058
knowing that
if they were legit,
2449
01:34:41,134 --> 01:34:42,431
they'd recognize someone
in the crowd
2450
01:34:42,510 --> 01:34:43,511
at happy hour
2451
01:34:43,595 --> 01:34:45,768
at the Four Seasons
right after the closing bell.
2452
01:34:45,847 --> 01:34:47,815
It turns out, I didn't need
to be that clever.
2453
01:34:48,141 --> 01:34:49,563
These weren't
finance guys.
2454
01:34:49,642 --> 01:34:51,736
They were from the cast
of The Jersey Boys.
2455
01:34:51,811 --> 01:34:53,688
They looked around the bar
self-consciously,
2456
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:55,023
they were out
of their element,
2457
01:34:55,106 --> 01:34:56,608
and tough guys try
to look tougher
2458
01:34:56,691 --> 01:34:57,692
when they're insecure.
2459
01:34:58,067 --> 01:34:59,410
I had a good hunch
what they wanted,
2460
01:34:59,485 --> 01:35:00,486
and I was gonna have to
2461
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:01,662
shut down
this meeting quickly,
2462
01:35:01,738 --> 01:35:04,116
but without being rude
to Joey Bag '0 Donuts
2463
01:35:04,199 --> 01:35:05,246
and Secaucus Sal.
2464
01:35:05,325 --> 01:35:06,872
I'm Molly Bloom.
Nice to meet you.
2465
01:35:06,951 --> 01:35:08,373
John G.
2466
01:35:08,453 --> 01:35:09,625
And you are?
Paul.
2467
01:35:11,372 --> 01:35:12,965
JOHN G.:
How do we get a drink?
2468
01:35:14,459 --> 01:35:16,177
MOLLY". I don't remember
what the other guy ordered,
2469
01:35:16,294 --> 01:35:17,762
but I'll never forget
what John G. had.
2470
01:35:17,879 --> 01:35:19,506
He looked at the waiter
as if to say
2471
01:35:19,631 --> 01:35:21,178
that he could handle
himself just fine
2472
01:35:21,257 --> 01:35:22,634
among the Manhattan elite
and said...
2473
01:35:22,717 --> 01:35:24,094
I'll have an appletini.
2474
01:35:26,137 --> 01:35:27,354
Okay.
2475
01:35:27,430 --> 01:35:29,057
So, how was your week?
My week?
2476
01:35:29,140 --> 01:35:31,063
Uh, it was fine.
Thank you.
2477
01:35:31,893 --> 01:35:34,237
Pat said you guys might be
interested in a game?
2478
01:35:36,022 --> 01:35:37,399
We want to partner
with you.
2479
01:35:39,025 --> 01:35:40,026
We've talked
to Tutti, Will...
2480
01:35:40,109 --> 01:35:41,156
Teddy Chin.
2481
01:35:41,236 --> 01:35:42,362
JOHN 6.: Teddy Chin.
2482
01:35:42,570 --> 01:35:44,493
We did a little work
with them too.
2483
01:35:44,739 --> 01:35:46,537
We can make
your life easier.
2484
01:35:49,077 --> 01:35:50,329
Nobody will fuck with you.
2485
01:35:51,204 --> 01:35:52,501
Nobody will stiff you.
2486
01:35:56,542 --> 01:36:01,218
I appreciate the offer,
but really, I'm fine.
2487
01:36:01,297 --> 01:36:03,470
I don't carry
a big debt sheet.
2488
01:36:03,549 --> 01:36:04,971
I feel safe.
2489
01:36:05,051 --> 01:36:06,303
Ah, you lied just then.
2490
01:36:07,095 --> 01:36:09,564
When you said you don't
carry a big debt sheet.
2491
01:36:09,639 --> 01:36:11,812
You've got $2.8 million
on the street right now,
2492
01:36:11,891 --> 01:36:13,234
right as
we're sitting here.
2493
01:36:13,309 --> 01:36:14,561
We do our research.
2494
01:36:15,103 --> 01:36:16,901
That money should be
in your hands,
2495
01:36:16,980 --> 01:36:18,232
'cause it's yours.
2496
01:36:18,606 --> 01:36:19,858
It's yours.
2497
01:36:20,858 --> 01:36:21,950
And if you don't have it,
2498
01:36:22,026 --> 01:36:24,154
you got to go into your
pocket to pay the wins.
2499
01:36:26,072 --> 01:36:27,494
Fellas, I'm sorry,
2500
01:36:28,157 --> 01:36:30,501
it's just a friendly game
with higher stakes.
2501
01:36:31,035 --> 01:36:32,662
It was really nice
to meet you though.
2502
01:36:32,745 --> 01:36:34,998
Let me know if there's ever
anything I can do for you.
2503
01:36:35,456 --> 01:36:36,753
I like to do favors.
2504
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:38,843
They'll put your drinks
on my card.
2505
01:36:40,086 --> 01:36:41,463
There are some gaps
in my memory,
2506
01:36:41,587 --> 01:36:42,804
which they say is common
2507
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,303
when you've had what's called
an event. For instance,
2508
01:36:45,383 --> 01:36:46,930
I don't remember
where I was coming from
2509
01:36:47,010 --> 01:36:48,432
when I walked
into my building.
2510
01:36:48,511 --> 01:36:50,980
Just that my doorman, Reggie,
said he had packages for me.
2511
01:36:51,055 --> 01:36:52,056
Ms. Bloom. I think
I got some things for you
2512
01:36:52,140 --> 01:36:53,141
in the package room.
2513
01:36:53,224 --> 01:36:54,225
I'll bring them on up.
Thanks.
2514
01:36:54,309 --> 01:36:55,936
It was the first night
of two weeks off
2515
01:36:56,019 --> 01:36:58,021
for Christmas and New Year's,
(DOORBELL RINGS)
2516
01:36:58,187 --> 01:37:01,487
and my plan was to take a bath
and try not to take drugs.
2517
01:37:02,025 --> 01:37:03,868
Reggie came up
with my packages.
2518

I have money.
It's all cash.
2526
01:37:26,591 --> 01:37:27,717
Where?
2527
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:28,847
Safe.

Where is it?
It's in the closet.

Come on.

Open your mouth.

It wasn't an offer
they made.

It wasn't a suggestion.

"Nearly 125 arrested
in sweeping mob roundup."
2571
01:41:37,758 --> 01:41:39,852
Those guys were
either laying low,
2572
01:41:39,927 --> 01:41:41,725
or they were in custody.
2573
01:41:42,179 --> 01:41:44,227
Sometimes God
happens fast.
2574
01:41:46,892 --> 01:41:48,144
My face had healed enough
2575
01:41:48,227 --> 01:41:49,945
so that a little makeup
would cover the bruises
2576
01:41:50,021 --> 01:41:51,398
that were left.
2577
01:41:52,732 --> 01:41:54,530
I put together a week
of games.
2578
01:41:55,067 --> 01:41:58,162
One week of games to get
the $2.8 million I was owed,
2579
01:41:58,237 --> 01:41:59,409
and then I was out.
2580
01:41:59,488 --> 01:42:00,910
I was done.
2581
01:42:01,157 --> 01:42:03,535
One week of
epic games.
2582
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,208
I had some of
my London players in town,
2583
01:42:06,287 --> 01:42:08,836
and the Russians had
visiting friends from Moscow.
2584
01:42:08,914 --> 01:42:11,542
Jesse and Shelby had already
started the game at the Plaza
2585
01:42:11,626 --> 01:42:13,924
and were reporting
heavy early action.
2586
01:42:14,211 --> 01:42:16,179
I was on my way
when the phone rang.
2587
01:42:16,255 --> 01:42:18,257
(PHONE RINGING)
It was Douglas Downey.
2588
01:42:20,134 --> 01:42:21,511
I'm on my way, Doug.
2589
01:42:22,011 --> 01:42:23,433
Nous; Wait, Molly.
2590
01:42:23,512 --> 01:42:24,638
Wait.
2591
01:42:24,722 --> 01:42:26,645
I'm hiding in
the bathroom. I just...
2592
01:42:26,724 --> 01:42:28,476
I need you to believe me,
okay? I just...
2593
01:42:28,559 --> 01:42:29,560
Whose bathroom?
2594
01:42:29,644 --> 01:42:30,770
I need you to believe me
because...
2595
01:42:30,853 --> 01:42:32,947
At the suite,
at the Plaza.
2596
01:42:33,022 --> 01:42:34,569
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2597
01:42:34,649 --> 01:42:37,368
I would never tell them
anything about you.
2598
01:42:37,443 --> 01:42:39,696
I said, "Guys, you want
me to go further,
2599
01:42:39,779 --> 01:42:42,703
"you want me to go
other places, H! do it.
2600
01:42:42,782 --> 01:42:44,830
"But nothing about Molly.
2601
01:42:44,909 --> 01:42:46,126
"She can't be touched.
2602
01:42:46,202 --> 01:42:47,328
"Just the Russians."
2603
01:42:47,411 --> 01:42:48,788
Okay, you're drunk
2604
01:42:48,871 --> 01:42:50,965
and a little difficult
to understand,
2605
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,758
so I'll see you in a few
minutes when I get there.
2606
01:42:52,833 --> 01:42:54,085
I was, uh...
2607
01:42:54,585 --> 01:42:55,802
I was...
2608
01:42:56,379 --> 01:42:57,380
Uh...
2609
01:42:59,215 --> 01:43:02,219
I was cited
for securities fraud.
2610
01:43:02,301 --> 01:43:03,678
It was scrubbed
from my record.
2611
01:43:03,761 --> 01:43:04,808
That's why you
don't know.
2612
01:43:04,929 --> 01:43:06,476
Did you say
"securities fraud"?
2613
01:43:06,555 --> 01:43:08,353
I would never help them
build a case against you.
2614
01:43:08,432 --> 01:43:11,982
I would have never give
them anything against you.
2615
01:43:12,061 --> 01:43:14,314
I'd commit perjury
before I did that.
2616
01:43:14,689 --> 01:43:17,112
It was such bullshit.
It was 2006...
2617
01:43:17,191 --> 01:43:19,319
If you'd had an arrest,
I would have known.
2618
01:43:19,402 --> 01:43:21,120
It was bullshit.
Doug.
2619
01:43:21,195 --> 01:43:23,038
I told them
H! go further,
2620
01:43:23,114 --> 01:43:26,163
I'll go other places,
but not you.
2621
01:43:26,242 --> 01:43:28,165
I love you, I love...
2622
01:43:28,244 --> 01:43:30,622
Doug, listen, I need you to
pull it together for a second.
2623
01:43:30,705 --> 01:43:33,208
Did they scrub your record
because you've been informing?
2624
01:43:33,290 --> 01:43:35,384
Should I...
Should I have told you?
2625
01:43:35,501 --> 01:43:36,548
(PHONE CHIMES)
2626
01:43:36,669 --> 01:43:38,922
That's a question that'll...
That'H haunt me for all my...
2627
01:43:39,004 --> 01:43:40,881
Why are you hiding
in the bathroom?
2628
01:43:40,965 --> 01:43:42,512
For my days, Molly.
2629
01:43:42,717 --> 01:43:45,721
Always know that
I was trying to protect you.
2630
01:43:47,012 --> 01:43:49,640
MOLLY". Five blocks away,
the FBI had raided my game.
2631
01:44:08,617 --> 01:44:10,164
I fully expected the lobby
to be filled
2632
01:44:10,244 --> 01:44:12,246
with guys wearing
Windbreakers, but it wasn't.
2633
01:44:12,329 --> 01:44:13,672
REGGIE: Ms. Bloom. Haven't
seen you for a while.
2634
01:44:13,748 --> 01:44:14,749
Yeah.
2635
01:44:14,832 --> 01:44:16,175
You need a cab?
2636
01:44:22,339 --> 01:44:24,307
I guess you never made it
upstairs with the packages.
2637
01:44:25,342 --> 01:44:27,344
Maybe I didn't tip you
enough before Christmas.
2638
01:44:31,515 --> 01:44:32,767
HARRISON: Then you got into a cab,
2639
01:44:32,850 --> 01:44:33,942
took the cab to JFK,
2640
01:44:34,018 --> 01:44:35,235
and flew to your mother's
house in Denver.
2641
01:44:35,352 --> 01:44:36,444
MOLLY'. Telluride.
2642
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,648
My mother lives
in Telluride.
2643
01:44:38,731 --> 01:44:40,859
That was two years ago.
Mmm-hmm.
2644
01:44:40,941 --> 01:44:42,318
In the cab on the way
to the airport,
2645
01:44:42,401 --> 01:44:44,199
I checked my bank
account balance.
2646
01:44:44,278 --> 01:44:46,280
There should've been
a little over $4 million,
2647
01:44:46,363 --> 01:44:48,741
but instead, it said
the balance was zero,
2648
01:44:48,824 --> 01:44:50,041
and there was a note
telling me
2649
01:44:50,117 --> 01:44:51,494
to contact
the Justice Department.
2650
01:44:51,577 --> 01:44:52,999
I just want to mention
that she also
2651
01:44:53,078 --> 01:44:55,581
voluntarily checked herself
into 28-day rehab
2652
01:44:55,664 --> 01:44:57,712
and has been sober
and clean for two years.
2653
01:44:57,792 --> 01:44:58,793
I don't care.
2654
01:44:58,876 --> 01:44:59,877
Were the women that worked
for you call girls?
2655
01:45:00,753 --> 01:45:01,800
No, sir.
2656
01:45:01,879 --> 01:45:03,131
BRENNAN: They never exchanged
sex for money?
2657
01:45:03,214 --> 01:45:04,215
No.
2658
01:45:04,298 --> 01:45:05,550
Have you ever exchanged
sex for money?
2659
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:06,634
No.
2660
01:45:06,717 --> 01:45:07,934
I think he was
talking to me.
2661
01:45:08,010 --> 01:45:10,388
I meant, "No, she's not
answering that question."
2662
01:45:10,471 --> 01:45:11,848
The purpose of
this meeting...
2663
01:45:11,931 --> 01:45:13,558
I know.
We're off the record.
2664
01:45:13,641 --> 01:45:14,642
We're not off the record.
2665
01:45:14,725 --> 01:45:15,817
Do you see
a stenographer in here?
2666
01:45:15,893 --> 01:45:17,861
We're off the record in as
much as there is no record,
2667
01:45:17,937 --> 01:45:19,530
but you're free to use the
information you're given,
2668
01:45:19,605 --> 01:45:21,323
and we're not giving
the information for free.
2669
01:45:21,398 --> 01:45:23,947
I've been sitting
at this table for five hours,
2670
01:45:24,026 --> 01:45:25,494
waiting for
the opportunity
2671
01:45:25,569 --> 01:45:27,788
to implore you
to do the right thing
2672
01:45:27,863 --> 01:45:29,957
while begging my client
for the last three weeks
2673
01:45:30,032 --> 01:45:31,784
to act in her own
best interest.
2674
01:45:31,867 --> 01:45:34,040
Neither of those things
should be hard.
2675
01:45:34,119 --> 01:45:36,292
The purpose of this meeting is
for you to meet Molly Bloom
2676
01:45:36,372 --> 01:45:37,715
and discover, as I have,
2677
01:45:37,790 --> 01:45:39,963
that she's not the person
the press has invented.
2678
01:45:40,042 --> 01:45:41,168
She's not under
Federal indictment
2679
01:45:41,252 --> 01:45:42,629
for getting bad press,
Charlie,
2680
01:45:42,711 --> 01:45:44,213
and the purpose of
the meeting, for me,
2681
01:45:44,296 --> 01:45:46,640
is to discover if your client
is willing to cooperate
2682
01:45:46,715 --> 01:45:49,138
with the government in putting
away some bad people.
2683
01:45:49,468 --> 01:45:50,560
No.
2684
01:45:50,636 --> 01:45:51,728
You're not willing
to cooperate?
2685
01:45:51,804 --> 01:45:54,774
No, I've never traded
sex for money.
2686
01:45:56,016 --> 01:45:57,518
I'm still not sure
if there's a record,
2687
01:45:57,601 --> 01:45:58,727
but if there is,
2688
01:45:58,811 --> 01:46:01,189
I want it to be certain
that was in it.
2689
01:46:01,939 --> 01:46:04,067
It appears to me throughout
your career as a game runner,
2690
01:46:04,149 --> 01:46:05,241
you were
extremely diligent
2691
01:46:05,317 --> 01:46:06,819
about vetting players.
I was.
2692
01:46:06,902 --> 01:46:08,279
But you let four guys
play in the game
2693
01:46:08,362 --> 01:46:09,659
without knowing
they were connected?
2694
01:46:09,738 --> 01:46:12,457
Yeah, plus an FBI informant,
it's embarrassing.
2695
01:46:19,665 --> 01:46:24,637
I was high at the end
and doing my job badly.
2696
01:46:25,546 --> 01:46:27,799
I'll also add that
in my limited experience
2697
01:46:27,882 --> 01:46:29,099
with the Russian mob,
2698
01:46:29,174 --> 01:46:31,927
they don't immediately present
themselves as mobsters.
2699
01:46:33,554 --> 01:46:35,181
My experience
with the Italian mob
2700
01:46:35,264 --> 01:46:36,857
on the other hand...
HARRISON: Help us.
2701
01:46:38,267 --> 01:46:39,814
I don't know anything
that can help you.
2702
01:46:39,894 --> 01:46:40,986
Yes.
MOLLY: And if I did...
2703
01:46:41,061 --> 01:46:42,608
Yes, you do.
You can provide color.
2704
01:46:42,688 --> 01:46:43,689
You can paint
a picture.
2705
01:46:43,772 --> 01:46:44,898
You can tell us
Druzhinsky wore
2706
01:46:44,982 --> 01:46:47,451
a $100,000 Patek Philippe
and drove a Phantom.
2707
01:46:47,526 --> 01:46:49,244
You can tell us lllya
Gershen showed up
2708
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,072
with a quarter million
dollars cash in a backpack,
2709
01:46:51,196 --> 01:46:52,368
and you can tell us
how much action
2710
01:46:52,489 --> 01:46:53,911
Shelly was taking on
a sports bet.
2711
01:46:54,033 --> 01:46:56,661
No one was allowed to place
sports bets inside the room.
2712
01:46:56,744 --> 01:46:57,836
They would have
to go outside.
2713
01:46:58,203 --> 01:46:59,876
So I had no idea
2714
01:46:59,997 --> 01:47:01,795
how much anyone
was taking or laying.
2715
01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:03,213
So, now you're saying
you knew
2716
01:47:03,334 --> 01:47:04,711
they were making
and taking sports bets?
2717
01:47:04,877 --> 01:47:06,879
No. That's the point
of them going outside.
2718
01:47:06,962 --> 01:47:08,839
They could have been calling
their mother for all I knew.
2719
01:47:08,923 --> 01:47:10,175
HARRISON: Molly.
Yes, sir?
2720
01:47:10,758 --> 01:47:11,930
I don't believe you.
2721
01:47:13,469 --> 01:47:15,722
In Mike Davidoff's phone
intercepts alone,
2722
01:47:15,804 --> 01:47:18,557
just Davidoff, your
name comes up 19 times.
2723
01:47:18,807 --> 01:47:20,730
"We need M0lly..." "Get
Molly..." "Bring Molly."
2724
01:47:20,851 --> 01:47:22,524
It strongly suggests
you were important
2725
01:47:22,603 --> 01:47:23,820
to his business,
so it's hard for me
2726
01:47:23,896 --> 01:47:25,773
to believe that someone
with your savvy
2727
01:47:25,856 --> 01:47:26,982
and obvious
intellect...
2728
01:47:27,066 --> 01:47:28,283
They're talking
about the drug.
2729
01:47:29,944 --> 01:47:30,991
"Get molly..."
"Bring molly..."
2730
01:47:31,195 --> 01:47:33,163
"We need molly..." It's...
2731
01:47:33,864 --> 01:47:35,958
They're talking about
the drug ecstasy.
2732
01:47:36,867 --> 01:47:37,914
(CHARLIE LAUGHS)
2733
01:47:37,993 --> 01:47:41,042
Shit. My office is next
to yours for two years,
2734
01:47:41,121 --> 01:47:43,465
and I've seen you make
some boneheaded moves,
2735
01:47:43,540 --> 01:47:45,634
but I've never seen
any prosecutor
2736
01:47:45,709 --> 01:47:48,132
step in it the way
you just did.
2737
01:47:48,462 --> 01:47:49,634
You should thank
all of the gods
2738
01:47:49,713 --> 01:47:51,511
that there's no physical

HARRISON: Hey, look...
No, you look...
2740
01:47:53,133 --> 01:47:55,010
What, are you going to implore
me to do the right thing?
2741
01:47:55,094 --> 01:47:57,893
This woman does not belong
in a RICO indictment.
2742
01:47:57,972 --> 01:47:59,724
Are you out of your minds?
2743
01:48:00,265 --> 01:48:03,189
She does not belong
in a mob indictment.
2744
01:48:03,268 --> 01:48:05,145
She raked a game,
that's it,
2745
01:48:05,229 --> 01:48:06,731
for seven months,
two years ago.
2746
01:48:06,814 --> 01:48:09,408
And why? Because she was
giving credit in the millions,
2747
01:48:09,483 --> 01:48:11,986
and she didn't want to use
muscle to collect.
2748
01:48:12,361 --> 01:48:14,659
She has had opportunity
after opportunity
2749
01:48:14,738 --> 01:48:16,832
to greatly
benefit herself
2750
01:48:16,907 --> 01:48:19,956
by just telling the real
stories that she knows. Okay?
2751
01:48:20,035 --> 01:48:23,130
I have the forensic imaging
going back to 2007.
2752
01:48:23,205 --> 01:48:25,628
And I'm talking about

and that's just the tip
of the iceberg.
2757
01:48:32,339 --> 01:48:34,467
What about the guy
that comes this close
2758
01:48:34,550 --> 01:48:36,427
to being the U.S.
Ambassador to Monaco?
2759
01:48:36,510 --> 01:48:38,012
He's withdrawn
from consideration
2760
01:48:38,095 --> 01:48:40,518
at the last minute,
no one knows why.
2761
01:48:40,889 --> 01:48:42,061

mistresses, an SVP

2764

who wanted Molly to put
a marked deck in a game.

01:48:48,939 --> 01:48:50,532
The head of a movie studio
that texted her
2766
01:48:50,607 --> 01:48:51,654
that a particular
movie star
2767
01:48:51,734 --> 01:48:53,532
was too black
for his liking.

I mean, J. Edgar Hoover didn't
have this much shit on Bobby.
2769
01:48:57,906 --> 01:48:59,453
You know, she could
have written
2770
01:48:59,533 --> 01:49:01,126
a bestseller
and been set for life.
2771
01:49:01,201 --> 01:49:02,418

01:49:02,494 --> 01:49:03,666

lottery ticket,

cash it. (SIGHS)

01:49:12,629 --> 01:49:15,223

You broke her back
2780
01:49:19,386 --> 01:49:21,889
so she couldn't possibly
afford to defend herself.
2781
01:49:21,972 --> 01:49:24,566
And now she has an opportunity
to guarantee her freedom
2782
01:49:24,641 --> 01:49:27,736
by "providing color,"
and she still won't do it.
2783

in a RICO indictment,

at anything you wanted.

You know it.
2911
01:56:22,809 --> 01:56:23,901
If you'd gone to
law school,
2912
01:56:23,977 --> 01:56:26,400
you'd have owned
a law firm by now.
2913
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:29,359
Why did you do the
other thing instead?
2914
01:56:29,941 --> 01:56:31,113
I don't know.
2915
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:33,452
Drugs.
2916
01:56:34,654 --> 01:56:36,577
You didn't start with
the drugs until the end.
2917
01:56:36,656 --> 01:56:38,909
They weren't the problem,
they were the medicine.
2918
01:56:39,910 --> 01:56:42,834
It was so you could
control powerful men.
2919
01:56:45,957 --> 01:56:49,837
Your addiction was having
power over powerful men.
2920
01:56:54,466 --> 01:56:55,467
Is that what
you really think?
2921
01:56:55,550 --> 01:56:56,551
No.
2922
01:56:57,010 --> 01:56:58,262
I know it for sure.
2923
01:56:58,470 --> 01:57:00,973
You've now completed your
first year of therapy.
2924
01:57:01,431 --> 01:57:03,433
I saw an opportunity.
It wasn't about you.
2925
01:57:03,517 --> 01:57:05,190
Nah, it wasn't just
about me.
2926
01:57:05,268 --> 01:57:07,441
It wasn't at all about you.
It was.
2927
01:57:09,105 --> 01:57:11,324
Second year,
second question.
2928
01:57:14,569 --> 01:57:16,571
Do you think
you were a good husband?
2929
01:57:16,696 --> 01:57:17,868
What do you care?
2930
01:57:17,989 --> 01:57:19,741
I care because you were
married to my mother.
2931
01:57:19,824 --> 01:57:21,918
I care because
my father's an asshole.
2932
01:57:21,993 --> 01:57:25,042
Congratulations. You've
completed year two.
2933
01:57:25,455 --> 01:57:27,503
And for the record, your
father raised three kids
2934
01:57:27,582 --> 01:57:29,050
on a college professor's
salary.
2935
01:57:29,417 --> 01:57:31,419
One of them is
a two-time Olympian,
2936
01:57:31,795 --> 01:57:33,012
a sixth-round draft pick
2937
01:57:33,129 --> 01:57:35,928
of the Philadelphia Eagles,
and a leading philanthropist.
2938
01:57:36,883 --> 01:57:38,726
The other is

in Federal court.

Well, nobody's perfect.
2944
01:57:52,023 --> 01:57:54,117
The point is,
I did a few things right.
2945
01:57:54,859 --> 01:57:56,111
Last question.
2946
01:57:56,403 --> 01:57:57,871
No. I have to go.
2947
01:57:57,946 --> 01:57:58,993
Last question, Mol.
2948
01:57:59,072 --> 01:58:01,040
I'll answer it,
but you have to ask it.
2949
01:58:04,661 --> 01:58:07,414
You have to ask it.
2950
01:58:18,008 --> 01:58:20,102
Why didn't you like me
as much as my brothers?
2951

2953
01:58:24,931 --> 01:58:26,103
I did.

01:58:27,934 --> 01:58:30,813
It only from time to time
appeared that I didn't.
2955
01:58:31,730 --> 01:58:33,607
It only appeared that
you didn't?
2956
01:58:33,690 --> 01:58:34,691
Yeah.

appeared." What?

(SNIFFLES) I broke some

01:58:50,915 --> 01:58:52,007
I took your car when I
wasn't allowed to...
2964
01:58:52,083 --> 01:58:53,585
You drove it
into a McDonald's.
2965

And kids get punished
for that, but they don't...
2966
01:58:55,211 --> 01:58:56,463
Did you not see
the McDonald's?
2967
01:58:56,546 --> 01:58:58,765
Did you misunderstand
what drive-thru meant?

2970
01:59:01,134 --> 01:59:02,511
It was because
I knew you knew.

I didn't hear
what you said.

about the following concepts?

That I was cheating
on Morn.

you were five.
2983

You saw me in my car,
2984
01:59:36,419 --> 01:59:38,092
and you really didn't
know what you saw.
2985

That's how I reacted
to the shame.
2989

offer it back to me?

voluntary anymore

02:04:34,133 --> 02:04:35,476
better off than
when you walked in.
3081
02:04:35,551 --> 02:04:37,098
Careers will be ruined.
3082
02:04:37,553 --> 02:04:40,682
Families. Wives.
Lives on both coasts.
3083
02:04:40,765 --> 02:04:42,438
Hey, when a rich
guy goes to jail,
3084
02:04:42,517 --> 02:04:43,609
he spreads his
money around.
3085
02:04:43,685 --> 02:04:45,813
His lawyer knows how
to take care of that.
3086
02:04:45,895 --> 02:04:49,069
He spreads his money around.
You don't have any.
3087
02:04:49,148 --> 02:04:51,867
The composition of female
inmates in Federal prison...
3088
02:04:51,943 --> 02:04:54,071
They did not commit
financial crimes!
3089
02:04:54,153 --> 02:04:55,200
They're drug dealers!
3090
02:04:55,279 --> 02:04:57,577
They get raped
by prison guards, you...
3091
02:04:58,324 --> 02:04:59,871
You will not be
anonymous, Molly.
3092
02:04:59,951 --> 02:05:01,544
You will be a target.
3093
02:05:01,619 --> 02:05:03,713
Children will read their
fathers' text messages saying
3094
02:05:03,788 --> 02:05:06,211
he wished he'd never
had kids.
3095
02:05:06,666 --> 02:05:08,668
These guys... These
guys, where are they?
3096
02:05:08,835 --> 02:05:11,179
Why are you in this alone?
Where are your friends?
3097
02:05:11,254 --> 02:05:12,881
Where is the one
guy saying,
3098
02:05:12,964 --> 02:05:14,841
"Hey, Molly, I know
you're doing everything
3099
02:05:14,966 --> 02:05:16,684
"to save my life, what
can I do for you?
3100
02:05:16,759 --> 02:05:18,761
"Let me buy you a sandwich."
Where are they, Molly?
3101
02:05:18,845 --> 02:05:20,347
You kept their
secrets.
3102
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:21,647
Where are the people
you're protecting
3103
02:05:21,723 --> 02:05:23,646
by not telling the whole
story in the book?
3104
02:05:23,725 --> 02:05:25,272
By settling
the Brad Marion suit.
3105
02:05:25,351 --> 02:05:27,820
By not taking $5 million
of your own money.
3106
02:05:27,937 --> 02:05:29,109
By going to jail.
3107
02:05:29,188 --> 02:05:30,440
Where did everybody go?
3108
02:05:30,523 --> 02:05:32,867
It's not their names
I'm protecting, Charlie.
3109
02:05:32,942 --> 02:05:33,989
It's mine.
3110
02:05:34,068 --> 02:05:35,115
Oh, that's great.
3111
02:05:35,194 --> 02:05:36,992
Well, we don't have
the luxury of integrity.
3112
02:05:37,071 --> 02:05:38,368
You have to take
the deal.
3113
02:05:38,781 --> 02:05:40,158
No.
You stay out ofjail,
3114
02:05:40,241 --> 02:05:41,288
you get your money back,
3115
02:05:41,367 --> 02:05:42,710
you pay your debts,
you start a new life.
3116
02:05:42,785 --> 02:05:43,877
No.
3117
02:05:43,953 --> 02:05:45,125
Is this self-imposed punishment
3118
02:05:45,204 --> 02:05:46,547
for naming four guys
in a book?
3119
02:05:46,622 --> 02:05:47,669
It's not.
3120
02:05:47,749 --> 02:05:48,841
You didn't do
anything wrong.
3121
02:05:48,916 --> 02:05:51,965
I threw four people under the
bus for $35,000, Charlie.
3122
02:05:52,045 --> 02:05:53,797
I noticed you kept that
outofyourspeech to the prosecutor.
3123
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:54,881
No, don't do that
to me.
3124
02:05:54,964 --> 02:05:56,307
I took advantage
of gambling addicts.
3125
02:05:56,424 --> 02:05:58,768
Donnie Silverman,
my brilliant find.
3126
02:05:58,843 --> 02:05:59,844
Molly, stop.
3127
02:05:59,927 --> 02:06:01,224
He lost $6 million
on my table,
3128
02:06:01,304 --> 02:06:04,854
moved to Florida, got a job
as a substitute teacher,
3129
02:06:04,974 --> 02:06:06,066
then hanged himself
in his shower!
3130
02:06:06,142 --> 02:06:07,234
Oh, and that's
your fault?
3131
02:06:07,310 --> 02:06:08,687
That's not your fault!
Donnie Silverman's dead!
3132
02:06:08,770 --> 02:06:11,649
Harlan Eustice is in jail
in Nevada, wishing he was.
3133
02:06:11,731 --> 02:06:13,233
But that's not why
I'm saying no.
3134
02:06:13,316 --> 02:06:14,442
You're not saying no.
3135
02:06:14,525 --> 02:06:15,868
I was named after
my great-grandmother.
3136
02:06:15,943 --> 02:06:18,617
I don't care. Molly
Dubin Bloom is my name.
3137
02:06:18,696 --> 02:06:20,039
We will stay here all night
until you understand...
3138
02:06:20,156 --> 02:06:22,158
Until you understand
nobody gives a shit
3139
02:06:22,241 --> 02:06:23,333
about your good name!
3140
02:06:23,409 --> 02:06:25,002
Why? I do!
3141
02:06:25,078 --> 02:06:26,625
Because...
Why?
3142
02:06:26,704 --> 02:06:27,956
Because.
Tell me why!
3143
02:06:28,039 --> 02:06:30,258
Because it's all
I have left!
3144
02:06:31,793 --> 02:06:33,591
Because it's my name.
3145
02:06:37,590 --> 02:06:40,844
And I'll never
have another.
3146
02:06:45,556 --> 02:06:47,854
Now you read
The Crucible?
3147
02:06:48,601 --> 02:06:51,070
Yeah. Every0ne's
right, it's great.
3148
02:06:51,145 --> 02:06:52,317
It is great.
3149
02:07:00,196 --> 02:07:01,698
I want to go
into that courtroom
3150
02:07:04,075 --> 02:07:05,122
and plead guilty.
3151
02:07:06,119 --> 02:07:08,588
No deals.
No trades.
3152
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:15,507
And you're
very sure?
3153
02:07:16,754 --> 02:07:17,846
Yes.
3154
02:07:20,633 --> 02:07:21,885
BAILIFF: All rise.
3155
02:07:22,385 --> 02:07:24,729
MOLLY". The business
of the court began.
3156
02:07:25,263 --> 02:07:27,857
We stood for the Honorable
Judge Dustin Foxman,
3157
02:07:28,558 --> 02:07:30,356
and counsel entered
their names for the record.
3158
02:07:30,434 --> 02:07:32,232
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Harrison Wellstone
3159
02:07:32,353 --> 02:07:33,400
for the Southern District
of New York.
3160
02:07:33,479 --> 02:07:34,526
MOLLY:
The docket was called...
3161
02:07:34,605 --> 02:07:35,857
Docket number
10095-13CR268.
3162
02:07:35,940 --> 02:07:37,408
...and some proforma
instructions
3163
02:07:37,483 --> 02:07:38,735
were given to counsel.
3164
02:07:38,901 --> 02:07:40,528
And I was asked
a series of questions
3165
02:07:40,611 --> 02:07:41,908
from a script the judge had in front
of him. What is your full name?
3166
02:07:41,988 --> 02:07:43,456
Molly Dubin Bloom.
3167
02:07:43,573 --> 02:07:44,665
How old are you?
3168
02:07:44,740 --> 02:07:47,163
Have you taken any
drugs, medicine, or pills,
3169
02:07:47,243 --> 02:07:49,962
or had any alcoholic beverages
in the past 48 hours?
3170
02:07:50,037 --> 02:07:51,038
Sudafed.
3171
02:07:51,122 --> 02:07:52,624
Is there anything
about the reasons
3172
02:07:52,707 --> 02:07:53,708
for you taking Sudafed
3173
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,384
that would interfere with
what's going on here today?
3174
02:07:55,459 --> 02:07:57,382
MOLLY: Eighty-seven questions
he was required to ask
3175
02:07:57,461 --> 02:07:58,963
before he'd permit me
to plead guilty.
3176
02:07:59,046 --> 02:08:00,263
JUDGE FOXMAN: ls your mind
clear today, Ms. Bloom?
3177
02:08:00,339 --> 02:08:01,340
It is.
3178
02:08:01,424 --> 02:08:02,926
Do you understand what's
going on here today?
3179
02:08:03,009 --> 02:08:04,010
I do.
3180
02:08:04,093 --> 02:08:06,016
Under the Constitution and
laws of the United States,
3181
02:08:06,095 --> 02:08:08,473
you have a right to plead to
the charges in the indictment.
3182
02:08:08,556 --> 02:08:10,684
Do you understand that?
Yes, Your Honor.
3183
02:08:10,766 --> 02:08:12,643
And do you understand that?
Yes, sir.
3184
02:08:12,727 --> 02:08:15,651
At that trial, you would
be presumed to be innocent
3185
02:08:15,730 --> 02:08:17,824
and would not have to prove
that you were innocent.
3186
02:08:17,899 --> 02:08:19,071
Do you understand that?
3187
02:08:19,150 --> 02:08:20,151
Yes, sir.
3188
02:08:20,276 --> 02:08:21,698
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, sir.
3189
02:08:21,777 --> 02:08:24,451
If you plead guilty,
and I accept your plea,
3190
02:08:24,530 --> 02:08:26,453
you will give up
your right to appeal,
3191
02:08:26,532 --> 02:08:29,456
along with all other
rights I've enumerated,
3192
02:08:29,535 --> 02:08:30,661
do you understand?
3193
02:08:30,745 --> 02:08:31,746
Yes, sir.
3194
02:08:31,829 --> 02:08:34,423
Do you understand that you
are charged in count 20
3195
02:08:34,498 --> 02:08:36,671
with operating an illegal
gambling business
3196
02:08:36,751 --> 02:08:38,719
in violation of
Title 18,
3197
02:08:38,836 --> 02:08:42,636
United States Code
Sections 1955 and 2?
3198
02:08:42,715 --> 02:08:43,932
Yes, I understand.
3199
02:08:44,008 --> 02:08:46,386
Understanding everything
you've been told,
3200
02:08:46,469 --> 02:08:48,346
do you now wish
to enter a plea?
3201
02:08:48,429 --> 02:08:49,430
Yes, sir.
3202
02:08:49,513 --> 02:08:51,060
How do you plead
to the charge?
3203
02:08:52,016 --> 02:08:53,393
Guilty, Your Honor.
3204
02:08:54,685 --> 02:08:56,983
Your plea has been
so recorded,
3205
02:08:57,480 --> 02:08:59,027
and you may take
your seat.
3206
02:08:59,649 --> 02:09:01,651
Before we move to the
sentencing phase,
3207
02:09:01,734 --> 02:09:03,577
I would like a word
with counsel, please.
3208
02:09:07,031 --> 02:09:08,783
MOLLY: And then
something happened.
3209
02:09:08,866 --> 02:09:11,210
Pardon me, Mr. Jaffey,
just government counsel.
3210
02:09:14,205 --> 02:09:15,377
Yes, sir.
3211
02:09:19,919 --> 02:09:21,387
What's going on?
3212
02:09:22,129 --> 02:09:23,255
(INAUDIBLE)
3213
02:09:23,381 --> 02:09:24,758
What are they doing?
3214
02:09:30,805 --> 02:09:32,057
Wait for it.
3215
02:09:33,182 --> 02:09:34,308
What?
3216
02:09:38,437 --> 02:09:40,485
Will the defendant please
rise for sentencing?
3217
02:09:45,403 --> 02:09:47,405
Based on all available
information,
3218
02:09:47,488 --> 02:09:49,786
this court
manifestly disagrees
3219
02:09:49,865 --> 02:09:51,742
with the government's
sentencing recommendation.
3220
02:09:54,161 --> 02:09:55,629
This courthouse is located
3221
02:09:55,705 --> 02:09:57,673
within spitting distance
of Wall Street.
3222
02:09:58,332 --> 02:09:59,959
I know this from my
personal expeflence
3223
02:10:00,042 --> 02:10:01,294
trying to spit at it.
3224
02:10:01,377 --> 02:10:02,754
The men and women
who work there
3225
02:10:02,837 --> 02:10:04,214
will commit
more serious crimes
3226
02:10:04,297 --> 02:10:05,389
by lunchtime today
3227
02:10:05,464 --> 02:10:06,636
than the defendant
has committed
3228
02:10:06,757 --> 02:10:08,179
in this indictment.
3229
02:10:08,259 --> 02:10:10,557
I simply don't see
how either the people
3230
02:10:10,636 --> 02:10:12,138
or the cause ofjustice
are served
3231
02:10:12,221 --> 02:10:13,814
by locking Molly Bloom
in prison.
3232
02:10:13,889 --> 02:10:14,981
MOLLY". It was as casual
3233
02:10:15,057 --> 02:10:16,604
as if he was ordering
lunch off a menu.
3234
02:10:16,726 --> 02:10:17,898
JUDGE FOXMANI Ms. Bloom,
3235
02:10:17,977 --> 02:10:19,524
this court sentences you
3236
02:10:19,645 --> 02:10:21,773
to 200 hours
of community service,
3237
02:10:21,856 --> 02:10:24,109
one year of
supervised probation,
3238
02:10:24,191 --> 02:10:28,037
drug testing,
and a $200,000 fine.
3239
02:10:28,154 --> 02:10:29,531
This case is adjourned.
3240
02:10:30,698 --> 02:10:32,575
MOLLY: And that was that.
(LAUGHING)
3241
02:10:32,908 --> 02:10:34,205
BOTH: Let's go.
3242
02:10:34,285 --> 02:10:35,787
MOLLY". There was crying
and hugging...
3243
02:10:35,870 --> 02:10:36,871
Proud of you.
3244
02:10:36,954 --> 02:10:38,126
...jokes from my brothers,
3245
02:10:38,205 --> 02:10:41,049
tough talk about how no one
messes with the Blooms,
3246
02:10:41,375 --> 02:10:44,299
and levelheaded talk
about Christmas miracles.
3247
02:10:45,212 --> 02:10:47,681
Steaks and beer bought
by my father,
3248
02:10:48,090 --> 02:10:49,933
and full reenactments.
3249
02:10:50,009 --> 02:10:51,977
And in the middle
of it all,
3250
02:10:52,094 --> 02:10:53,721
as grateful as you are,
3251
02:10:54,347 --> 02:10:57,351
the reality starts creeping
toward you like the tide.
3252
02:10:59,518 --> 02:11:01,987
And that's the first time
you have the thought.
3253
02:11:03,147 --> 02:11:04,615
"What do I do now?"
3254
02:11:05,816 --> 02:11:07,193
OFFICIAL:
We've got a racer down!
3255
02:11:07,276 --> 02:11:08,994
We need a toboggan
and a back board!
3256
02:11:09,070 --> 02:11:10,287
MOLLY: I'm a felon.
3257
02:11:10,363 --> 02:11:13,287
I'm 35 years old,
unemployed,
3258
02:11:13,366 --> 02:11:15,414
and pied guilty
in a mob indictment.
3259
02:11:15,493 --> 02:11:17,040
Make way, people! Make way!
Make way, people!
3260
02:11:17,119 --> 02:11:18,996
Patrol here, move away!
Move away!
3261
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:21,708
MOLLY: I owe the government
close to $2 million in taxes
3262
02:11:21,791 --> 02:11:23,919
assessed
on the civil forfeiture,
3263
02:11:24,001 --> 02:11:25,969
plus a $200,000 fine.
3264
02:11:26,045 --> 02:11:27,638
And you better believe they're
going to come get it.
3265
02:11:27,713 --> 02:11:28,714
OFFICIAL: Clear a path!
3266
02:11:28,798 --> 02:11:30,516
Move back, please! Back!
3267
02:11:30,591 --> 02:11:31,888
I have a quarter
of a million dollars
3268
02:11:31,967 --> 02:11:33,139
in legal bills.
3269
02:11:33,219 --> 02:11:35,517
I don't know what I'd say
in a job interview,
3270
02:11:35,596 --> 02:11:38,395
or if I'll ever be given
a job interview.
3271
02:11:38,849 --> 02:11:40,692
I'll never be allowed
to vote again.
3272
02:11:40,768 --> 02:11:42,361
FEMALE MEDIC: I'm going
to need a set of vitals!
3273
02:11:42,728 --> 02:11:44,196
MOLLY". And for some reason,
3274
02:11:44,271 --> 02:11:46,069
I'm not allowed
to go to Canada.

(RADIO CHATTER)
Molly, can you hear us?
3276
02:11:49,693 --> 02:11:51,161
Hips are stable.
3277
02:11:51,237 --> 02:11:53,035
Pelvis is stable.
3278
02:11:54,615 --> 02:11:56,492
MALE MEDIC: Her dad's here.
What's her LOA?
3279
02:11:56,575 --> 02:11:57,576
MALE MEDIC:
She's coming around now.
3280
02:11:57,660 --> 02:11:59,082
FEMALE MEDIC: Open your eyes
if you can hear us.
3281
02:11:59,161 --> 02:12:00,959
MEDIC: Okay, she's conscious.
Molly, what day is it?
3282
02:12:01,038 --> 02:12:02,039
FEMALE MEDIC: You need
to stay down, okay?
3283
02:12:02,123 --> 02:12:03,420
You need to go to
a hospital.
3284
02:12:03,499 --> 02:12:04,625
What day?
3285
02:12:05,167 --> 02:12:06,669
Dad, I'm fine.
3286
02:12:06,794 --> 02:12:08,216
MEDIC: Try not to move, Molly.
MOLLY: Let go of my arm.
3287
02:12:08,295 --> 02:12:09,296
LARRY: You trying to
getup,hon?
3288
02:12:09,422 --> 02:12:10,514
MOLLY: Yeah.
She wants to get up.

COMMENTATOR 1: Our cameras
can't get in there,
3290
02:12:12,091 --> 02:12:13,092
so we don't know...
3291
02:12:13,175 --> 02:12:14,176
COMMENTATOR 2:
I wonder if Tracy's got
3292
02:12:14,260 --> 02:12:15,261
an update for us
on the ground.
3293
02:12:15,344 --> 02:12:17,346
COMMENTATORS: She's moving!
3294
02:12:18,222 --> 02:12:20,020
LARRY: You sure you're good?
Yeah.
3295
02:12:20,099 --> 02:12:21,726
Okay, here we go.
3296
02:12:23,519 --> 02:12:24,645
COMMENTATOR 1:
We can see that
3297
02:12:24,728 --> 02:12:26,150
she's being helped
to her feet now.
3298
02:12:26,230 --> 02:12:29,029
Molly Bloom is, of course,
the sister of Jeremy Bloom,
3299
02:12:29,108 --> 02:12:31,702
who holds the world's
number one ranking.
3300
02:12:31,777 --> 02:12:33,199
That's her longtime
coach there,
3301
02:12:33,279 --> 02:12:35,532
Ted Keene, and her father.
(CROWD APPLAUUNG)

02:12:36,365 --> 02:12:37,582
COMMENTATOR 2: She came back
from an injury
3303
02:12:37,658 --> 02:12:39,035
when she was just 13.
3304
02:12:40,119 --> 02:12:42,668
You know, you have to wonder
about the psychological toll,
3305
02:12:42,746 --> 02:12:45,374
coming that close, only
to lose it like that.
3306
02:12:47,042 --> 02:12:48,840
MOLLY". Did anything good
come of this?
3307
02:12:49,628 --> 02:12:50,800
Not really.
3308
02:12:54,550 --> 02:12:56,678
But I learned
something encouraging.
3309
02:12:57,386 --> 02:12:58,729
I'm very hard to kill.
3310
02:12:58,804 --> 02:12:59,805
COMMENTATOR 1: You and I both know
3311
02:12:59,889 --> 02:13:00,981
people who have
never gotten over it.
3312
02:13:01,056 --> 02:13:02,558
COMMENTATOR 2: I don't know
if the young woman
3313
02:13:02,641 --> 02:13:04,063
we've just seen
is one of those people.
3314
02:13:04,143 --> 02:13:05,986
We may not see her ski
competitively again,
3315
02:13:06,061 --> 02:13:07,313
but I think we're
going to see her.
3316
02:13:07,396 --> 02:13:09,774
MOLLY: Winston Churchill
defined success as,
3317
02:13:09,857 --> 02:13:12,110
"The ability to move
from failure to failure
3318
02:13:12,193 --> 02:13:13,945
"with no loss
of enthusiasm."
3319
02:13:14,403 --> 02:13:16,906
So, I guess
I'm pot-committed.
3320
02:13:16,989 --> 02:13:17,990
COMMENTATOR 21 She'll be back.
