Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
Those words has been dancing around my head whole night
That was Vegas law a frase.
Just ask any of old time pit bosses, They'll know.
It was a Chinese dealer opinion whose first credit with the line.
He would shouted every time he deal Blackjack.
That was over 40 year ago.
And the words still countin'.
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
Yes, I try it
I have heard it at least 14 times that night.
I couldn't lose.
First of all, what I'm doing wasn't an illegal.
That was certain institution and people depend upon it.
But it's legal
And not everyone can do it, just those with the gifted mind.
I have the gifted mind.
That's what gettin' me a while in these mess.
I was countin' card and I was up over $640.000.
-Split those tens. -Splittin' tens
Again, tens.
We use hand signals too.
Folded arms: The tables hot.
A touch to the eye: We need to talk.
And the hand running into perfect flowing hair,
mean only one thing: Get out. Now!
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
4.4 GPA, 44 M-Cats, President of American Region Mathematic-League.
TA-2, Prof. Wilkens and Prof. Sanders, both are friends of me,
and they both wrote glowing recommendation.
And you are accepted early here into school here, Harvard Med,
pending graduating to MIT. It's very impressive.
Thank you.
The Robinson scholarship is comprehensive, as you know.
It's a free ride,
And free ride is not come easy. -Absolutely.
we have 76 applicants this year…
only one of them will get the scholarship.
And the most of them have resume just as impressive as yours.
Right.
Prof. Philips, some kids grow up want to play for Red Sox,
some grow up wanting to be, I don't know.. -fireman.
I grow up, r-really I just want come here to Harvard Med.
And now, that I have got accepted, it seems to only come down the money
which I don't really have.
So...
What I tryin' to say is, that I really, really need this scholarship.
You rehearse that?
Yes, like 14 times in front of the mirror.
Unfortunately desire doesn't figure into this much.
The Robinson is going to go to someone whose dazzle.
somebody who just jumps off the page.
Oh then, I also involve on a-a science competition.
We build a robotic wheel that can navigate itself using an proprietary GPS system.
and I-I'm designing the system. -great.
Ben, last year the Robinson went to Hong Jay Wuuk,
a Korean immigrant who has only one leg.
Well, I have both of my legs.
Well have you considering cutting one of them off?
That was a joke.
Ben, it's all I want to explain.
You need to really explain to us, what makes you special.
What life experience separate you from all the rest?
Life experience?
What can you tell me, Ben that's going to dazzle me.
I'm so sorry that I am late. -Where is your jacket?
Oh, I got it, I got it. It's right here.
This is no the way to new assistant-manager to come to work.
Congratulations, how is $8 per hour sound?
Eight dollars?
W-Wow, That's great, well then Thank you, Thank You.
You are slept with him, didn't you?
Yes, I did. -Yes, I did.
We' all slept with him too, and we all get $8 per hour.
So, Prof. Palmer finish his lecture, right?.
and I said to him: Prof. Palmer, you need at least 14 capacitors,
to get the result what we looking for.
Then he said to me: Miles, don't you think it's a little excessive?
Then I get up, I swear to God, Ben I get up in front the entire class and I say:
You can't never have enough capacitors, Prof.
Oh my God. What's the hell wrong with you?
Huh? Nothing...
I hope nothing. You just got promoted, man. -You should be happy.
I just got to write this essay for Robinson scholarship, and I have nothing.
and the reason why I have nothing, because I've done nothing.
Give me a break, Ben? -What?
You have everything.
You blow me out of the water, ain't even sure where I'm stand.
Is that nothing? -Ya, but it doesn't dazzle.
it's dazzles me, Mister.
Ever since I'm sixteen, I cross exams, I took an extracurricular.
I showed up early, I even sat up in front and I stayed up late.
I gave up everything.
I gave up fun, I gave up sex
-Nobody has gave up sex. -Oké, no sex.
You have not gave up sex. -Oké.
it just annoys me that the one thing me stops Harvard Med is money
Tuition fees and living expenses alone are cost over 300.000 dollar.
300.000 dollar!
its outrages, it's economically high, I get that.
I just thought that there's more in life then just money.
I mean looking the bright side.
I just saved the bunch of money on my car insurance.
Thank you.
Make a wish. -I make a wish, oké.
Yes. -Bravo.
Congratulation, Benjamin.
Do you know that multiply thing on that, see you that?
It took me five minutes for me, -to figure out that Fibonacci,
series where the next number is 21. -Now you gettin' show up, kick ass.
you have six box? -No, no I don't eat any of the buffalo wings.
Oh really? That's great, we're not doing it like that. We are just about dividing it equally.
So let's say you pay? -I got it -No,.
No, no.
Ben, it's your birthday. And your broke as much as I am.
Sees now I eat some of those wings
Say, what I know, made these specs for the 209, last night
after 19 cups of coffee
Check it out? -You are kidding. -What is this?
This is good. Miles, this is good.
Well, that better be, 'cause this is what we've been working for, since we got here.
This call destiny.
You know, there is the poss... Thank you.
There is possibility that we might not actually win this thing.
Oya, bite your tongue. Bite your damn tongue.
Look, guys.
We don't date, we don't travel and we don't have any money.
The only thing that we do have is the 209 competition.
If we still don't win that what is the point?
Yes, we sucks.
Your father will be so proud of you, Ben.
Ya.
You remember anything about him?
Not really.
Maybe we shaved.
No, I think I watch him shaved.
So what your plan for the rest of the night?
I don't know, I probably go back and work on that essay.
Ben, you working too hard.
Between the job, and school and the 209. You have no time for just yourself.
You have to squeeze a little time for fun, Ben.
You only live 21 once. and that's goes by very fast.
Oké, allright.
Goodnight. -Goodnight.
Don't come home before three. -Allright.
Allright, now who can explain Newton's method and how you use it?
You can use it to solve non-linear equation.
That is impressive. That is really good, I mean I'm really impress by that,
Especially since my class is called non-linear equation.
Allright, somebody tell me something I don't already know.
Anyone? -Bueller.
Newton stole it.
I am sorry? -Newton stole it.
Joseph Raphson publish the same method 50 years earlier.
After the start value is to far moving two zero then.. and it fails.
I'm sorry, what's your name? -Ben Campbell.
Ben.
So Ben Campbell suggest that Joseph Raphson was the original author of this method,
Well if that's the case, why don't he gets the credit?
Well, for one thing Newton has better it publishes.
And for another after 1700, we know very little about Raphson,
other, the fact that he discovered the kabbalah about 300 years before Madonna.
Allright, now let's get Ben a chance for some extra credit, shall we?
We gonna call this hmn...
"The Game Show Host programs"
Ben, suppose you are on a game show.
And you are given a chance to choose three different doors. Allright?
Now, behind one of the doors, it's a new car, behind the other two, goats.
Which door you choose, Ben?
Door number 1. -Door number 1, Ben choose door number 1.
The game show host, by the way know which behind the other doors.
decide to open another door. let say he chooses door number 3.
Behind, which sits a goat.
Now, Ben, the game show host come to you and say:
Ben, you want to stay with door number 1 or you go with door number 2?
Now, Is it in your interest to switch what your choice?
Ya. -Wait.
Remember, the host knows where the car is,
So, how do you know he's not playin' a trick on you?
try to use a reverse psychology to get you to pick a goat?
I don't really care, I mean my answer is based on statistics,
based on variables change.
Variables change? it's just to answer simple question.
Yes, but it's changes everything.
Enlightens?
When I was originally asked to choose the door,
I had a 33,3% chance to choosing right.
But, after he opens one of the door and re-offers me a choice,
is it now 66,7%, if I choose to switch.
So, ya... I take door number 2, and thank you for the extra 33,3%.
Exactly!
People, remember if you don't know which door to open
always counts for variable changes.
Now see, most people wouldn't take the switch.
Out of paranoia, fear and emotions.
But, Mr. Campbell kept the emotions a side,
And let's a simple math get his ass into a brand new car.
Which is better than that goat even drivin' it around campus.
That's the end of the day. Thank you very much.
your great paper sit down here, at the end you can pick up on your way out.
I'm invincible.
Guys, Jill Taylor 10 o'clock.
Oh man, that's brutal.
You know, you just ask her out man.
She's not rocket scientist or anything.
Oh, wait, She is.
Why don't you ask her?
'Cause I'm already dating someone.
Ya, the right hand doesn't count, Miles.
That's way I use it.
You know what, maybe I don't even want to go out with her.
Ya, That's funny.
You said you want a life experience, right?
I'd say, Gettin' down with that will definitely qualify.
Champ...
Hey, genius.
You have to follow me now -Sorry?
You have to follow me now. Come on.
Where we goin'? -You'll see.
Oh, an honored guest.
How are you doin', Ben? -I'm okay.
You have been in this room before?
Ya, organic chemistry in my freshmen year.
How did you do? -I got an A.
Prof. Rosa? -Micky, please.
Is there problem with my paper?
Well, you find more efficient method for findin' two zero than Isaac Newton,
that my friend is not so much for problem as it is a major of ass kickin'
although, Newton is been dead for 250 years, so it wasn't exactly fair fight.
so this kind of a math club?
Don't be rude, people.
Kianna.
Fisher. -Choi.
Jill.
You ever studied the blackjack?
No.
No? Oke, it's really simple.
You play against the dealer.
You have given two cards. Face cards are words 10 points.
The closest to 21, win.
If you goes over you lose. If the dealer goes over they lose.
It's the most popular card game in the world.
It's the game with memory.
Cards drawn in the past once come in the future.
And the best part. it's beatable.
Are you talkin' about countin' cards?
No, I'm talkin' about gettin' very-very rich.
You counts cards. All of you?
As a team? Yes.
When?
In the weekends and Christian holidays.
Where? -Vegas, baby.
So, why are you tellin' me?
Well, let's just say a spot opened up on our roster.
How?
Jimmy got a job at Google.
Jim... Jimmy got a job at Google?
Yeah, it's catchy, I know.
Well, if you're making so much money at this then why didn't he take it?
Ben, I said Google, not Sizzler.
Yeah, it's crazy.
No, Ben. It's profitable.
I can't do it. I am sorry.
Come on, Ben. It would be fun.
Yeah, Ben. It would be fun.
No, it's not that I just got promotion on my job.
So, it's a not a good time for me.
We pay better.
I can't just go to Vegas on the weekends.
Why not? MIT on a cruise control for you, you already got an Harvard Med.
I mean, what are you worry about?
How you know that?
I like to take interest on my student.
Well, I also really involve in science competition.
You know the 209 competition?
No, I buildin' a car who ride by itself.
Well, it somethin’ I've been doin' with my friends for over a year so..
it's kinda important.
Ben, let's the car drive by itself.
Listen, you not only have a gifted mind,
But you also... compose.
You don't give any of your emotions.
You think logically.
Ben, you are born for this.
You'll have more fun than you have in you entire life.
It's perfect.
Thank you, but I'm really not the right guy.
So, I-I'm sorry.
Ben.
Hope this little conversation we just had will remain private.
Oh, of course. -No.
You are one of my favorite new student and I hate to lose you.
You know what I mean.
I'm just not sure it's me.
It's firm, it's foxy, it's blue.
How is that not you?
So how much is this thing gonna run me?
Oh, see, belt $49,95 minus 15%.
The jacket $589,99.
The pants $285,99 minus 10% for both.
Unfortunately it's not on sale, but I can knock off 5% from $69,99.
The shoes is just already mark down for $155, so you lookin' at $1.042,68.
I'm pretty good with numbers.
Ya. -I think so.
So, let me know when I can bring that for you guys.
Ya. -Thank you.
Hey.
-Could you help me?
Oh, yeah, sure.
I am lookin' for a tie.
Oh, we're havin' a 15% sale on the ties.
And if you want, I could probably give you an additional 10% with my employee discount.
Is this one nice? -Yeah, oh ya.
This one actually has been treated with our Nano-Tex fabrics protections,
to appeal liquids and stains.
That's really functional. -Yeah, it's pretty functional.
Excuse me, stays still.
Despite, being tempted by the Nano-Tex repellent,
I'm actually not here for tie, Ben.
I came to see you.
You did?
Blackjack is the great game.
Now, look. It's easy to learn and it's really not as much strategy due what people's think.
I grew up on that actually.
You grew up on that? -Yeah.
Every night after dinner my father and I always play.
I knew the basic strategy before I was like 9 years old.
If I won, he takes me up for an ice cream.
And what if he won?
He still takes me up for an ice cream.
Oh, yeah. He is your Dad.
Ben, you should feel this real.
-of winning more money than you can possibly imagine.
I think you should come to Vegas 'Cause I'm guessin' you could probably use brake out from this place.
I can't. I'm sorry, I just can't.
Ok, if you change your mind, you know where we meet.
You welcome, anytime.
You know, I think the best thing about Vegas is you can become anyone you want.
What's the count?
Plus 9. -No.
Plus 11. -No.
Dude, I lost count 20 cards ago.
Don't call me dude.
Plus 9? -You're just following Jill.
People, please. We're up to 76 cards which come out of the decks.
23 were the high cards with the value of minus 1.
17 cards were neutral with no value at all.
And the rest of the low cards with value of plus 1.
How could you lost the counts? -Plus 13.
The count is plus 13.
Yes. Pull up a chair.
Stop.
What is that? -Plus 12, Eggs.
12 eggs in one the kart.
Now what?
Plus 9. -One cat has 9 lives.
Cat.
Plus 16 = Sweet 16.
Every card have value.
A high card, min 1.
A low card, plus 1.
And the rest, zero.
Plus 13. Plus 8. Plus 9
Plus 12.
I was studying all day, every day.
But it wasn't physic, chemistry and engineering.
I was back to simple math.
Used in ways, I couldn't ever imagine.
The team has a system.
And to go un-notice, We created a whole new language.
Words were numbers, and numbers were words.
Plus 17? -Magazine.
Plus 6? -Guns.
Plus 15? -Paycheck.
Plus 12?
Is this chemistry review?
Plus 14? -Ring.
Plus 16? -Sweet.
Use it in a sentence.
M-Man, that sugar sweet.
Because I knew the counts, I knew which card were lays in the decks.
That how I knew what to bet.
You doing great.
Micky, I just wanna let you know that I'm only doing this for Medical School.
Which is $300.000.
And if I can get anything closer that, I'm done.
Well, in the first place, Ben is not if it's win.
And second of all, I get it, I completely understand
You do? "It's means to an end"
Look, they got this new computer software that read people faces.
Soon enough this gonna last for anyone.
What if we got caught?
Our system keep us under the radar. You'll see.
Anyway, countin' cards isn't illegal.
So, there's no danger in it at all? -No, Ben. It's safe.
Very safe.
You think you can beat the system?
This is the system, beaten you back.
You wanna count card, you do it in Atlantic City.
Get him up. -Come on.
Count to five.
Count to five
Why?
Count to five, so I know you don't have brain damage, you can go home.
Start with 1.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Good. Now, stop countin'.
Let's go.
You're crazy, everybody knows that you should split it. My grandmother...
Not against the 10, it's a sucker play.
Look, you choose to play two hands against the highest card the dealer have, Right?
Against a 5 or 6, you fine.
Against, a 10 or Ace, it's a sucker play.
I know, I heard this argument... -You cannot save it, allright, Jill right.
Choi, let's explain to Ben, how we did it.
Allright.
So, our team is divided into two kinds of players: spotters, and big players.
So, if you think this table is the casino floor.
Then the salt and pepper is the spotters.
The spotters is just sitting in the various blackjack tables
They bettin' tables minimum.
They never fluctuate their bet.
That's right, the spotters never raise the bet, it's kind a progressive system.
That how we stand under radar and that’s way we never get caught.
Exactly. Oke, they're just sittin' on the table bettin' the table min.
They keep the countin' waitin' for one of this desk to get hot.
Right, and then one the desk get hot the spotter at the tables signals to the big player.
This mustard. Give me the mustard, honey.
I'm always the mustard, so...
When I get the signal for the hot desk, I stumble over like some drunk rich kids.
or some dot com millionaire, and I throw down there big money.
So the big player bets big, and so keeps count,
when the desk colds, He goes his out.
It's not as easy as its sound.
Oh.. yeah, it's not, because if great Capone here ever lost his count.
It’s up to his table's spotters to give him the signal to get out.
And you know the signals, right? -Yeah.
Show us.
Oké, what's this?
'The Desk Hot'. -Right.
'We need to talk'.
'Desk cooling'.
And 'Get Out'. 'Get Out, Now'.
Good. I think his gonna be ready for a little trial round of our.
There is a kind of trial round?
Where? -You'll find out.
Hey.
Are you, Ben? -Yeah.
Follow me.
This way.
No more bet. No more bet.
So Henry, did I tell you I read about this place from a magazine.
You wanna put that money down?
Ya, 300.
300.
Your bet, Sir?
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
Allright.
Nice.
Can I get another drink?
Thank you.
What the hell are you doin'?
What are you doin'? I haven't done anything Get off me!
Get off! I haven't done anything!
Please, calm down.
What's the count? -Please, don't hurt me.
What's the count? -I haven't done anything!
What's the count?
Plus 18.
Oh, you've gotta be kiddin'
Congratulations Ben, sorry but we had to make sure you keep the count under pressure.
Welcome to the team.
We didn't need that.
It's oke table I fight inside that bag.
Fisher and Jimmy is always been the big players.
I want you to take Jimmy's place.
I never done this.
I know that, I understand but I don't trust girls
and Choi is, well Choi.
Look, I've been teachin' for more than 14 years, and I never have a student as impressive as you.
Your brain is like god damn Pentium chip.
You gonna do great. You know how I know that?
'Cause you remind me of myself 25 years ago.
You in?
Yeah, I'm in. -Good.
There's one more thing, Ben. And this is important.
We're countin' cards, we are not gambling.
We following specific set of rules and playing a system.
Right.
I've seen how crazy can get, those tables
and sometime people lose control, they givin' to their emotions.
You will not. You understand?
Yeah.
Get some rest.
Rest? -Yeah, we are leavin' tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I have a test work paper Tuesday.
No, you don't? -I don't?
No, I spoke with Prof. O'Reilly.
I told him you've to help me with special assignment,
He understood. So he gave you an A.
You see, Ben, amazing things can happen from the inside,
We gotta call about details, later.
Well, the girl wanna ahead.
Yeah. They got more bags to check-in you know.
Ok, We wait after the security and then we gonna use that toilet.
No, I'm good.
No, I really think you should go. It's a long flight.
No, I'm oke. -We goin' to bathroom.
Honestly, I really don't have to go.
I don't care you don't have to go.
Look, I really don't have to go -Shut up.
Why should I?
I don't care, Shut up.
What are you plannin'? -Let's go.
Pull down your pants. -What?
Hush, Don't ask question!
Stuff this in your underwear. -Why?
You want me to do it? I swear to god I will.
Why can't we leave this in the bag?
'Cause it shows up on the scanner.
We're not about having compensated with $250.000.
250.000?
No. Why we have to do it?
'Cause you are the donkey boy.
You really suck about asking question.
What is the donkey boy?
Passport. -Thank you.
Passport, please.
Act casual, think casual, be casual.
Any metal objects, laptops, cell phones, please.
Thank you.
Boarding pass, please.
Sir?
You forgot your bag.
Thanks.
Nice goin', Campbell.
Ben, the basis strategy says that you should a "hit that".
Burt, Moishe, Vladimir,
Mona, Miss Summers. Your new Identity is around the bar.
So glad, you can make it.
Vladimir Stubnitsky?
Yeah, your dad work for Russian Consulate,
You live in Washington DC, your hobbies backgammon chest and long lonesome on beach.
I don't like my name. -Why not?
Sierra Sommers? Do I look like Sierra?
You have a lot of clever options, just figure it out.
Just pretend you don't speak English then you don't have to changes your hair.
I thought this is legal, why we have to use fake name.
Yes, it is, we normally use fake names, we use disguises.
It's for the benefit for the dealers to make sure you're old enough to gamble.
And allows everyone to be different people in different casino.
Hey, you steal the bible and you go to the hell that's the way it's works.
Yeah, like I'm not goin' already -Yeah.
Now listen. Ben, this is for you.
All the casino have camera in the ceiling, they called "Eyes in the sky".
For their benefit you order vodka tonic and lime and act a little drunk.
And all time, you don't know each other.
Let me say that one more time, YOU DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER, EVER!
Oh, and what is our motto? -Don't get caught countin'.
Thank you very much.
How come you don't play?
Oh, I did, I played for a long time and I was the best but I'm retired now.
Take my advice, Ben. It's always best to go out when you're on top.
Welcome to Vegas!
Let me tell you about Blackjack, honey?
Have you ever hear about the basic strategy? -That sound really complicated.
I'm Sierra Sommers from Charleston.
I have French blood in family it's my heritage.
I don't know.
10.000
Changin' 10.000.
Sweet, too sweet.
8. The count is still +16.
10, that is -1. Count is +15.
8. Still +15.
9. +15.
5. Than it's +16.
Eights. Splits eights.
Can I split those?
Sir, please don't touch the card!
I am sorry.
Jack. Count +15.
10. +14.
King, +9. +13.
Jack. +12.
9. Still +12.
Blackjack.
Monkey, monkey!
What is a monkey? -a king's heart.
King's heart? Come on, Monkey.
Monkey.
Monkey, come on.
Come on, Monkey! Monkey, monkey!
Monkey!
Allright, allright!
Oh, God. I need to quit.
Can I color up, please?
Nice undies.
What's this?
Last night, stakes. We split it five ways.
What do you think?
It was fun.
You did good. -me?
Yeah, you comin' quick up with count. You act your part,
You not afraid to play big and you get out when you suppose to.
And you made more money than Fisher.
I was pretty nervous actually.
But after a while I feel kinda, easy
Not for everyone.
It's just simple math.
Good, It couldn't do some serious damage with you.
Here's the thing I told Micky.
You know, I'm only really doin' this just to pay for my Medical School,
$300.000 and then I'm out.
That's what they all say.
Not, really. I'm just doin' this to pay for Harvard.
Just the mean to an end for me.
I believe you. -Good.
Hallo?
We have a team meeting in 5 minutes.
Team Meeting.
Hallo? -Hey.
Where's everybody else?
I don't know, Fisher right behind this.
Oh... Fisher, you didn't sleep?
I did, with Ida.
Ida? -She is a dancer.
I pull her out of Sapphire.
And Ida is your dancer name?
Ya, and your grandmother.
Where is Kianna?
By the slot. -Chocola.
Choi, where the hell you've been?
I try to make kart on the 9th floor.
I've been busy this morning.
Ok, guys let's get something clear this is not summer camp,
and I'm not your counselor.
This is real world class money making business.
Kianna, slots are for losers.
Fisher, dealers are stealers
Choi, you made $5000 last night.
So would you stop stealin' 9 cents pants and everything, and get your hands off the maid karts.
It's embarrassing.
But Fisher, what the hell are you up to last night?
What?
Three separate occasions the spotters let you know that the tables is coolin'
But, you kept on anyway.
You either lost the counts, you lost your head, Neither, I want see that happen again.
Jill, nice disguised last night.
Ben, good work. You came out look like a pro.
Keep it up.
Beginner's luck.
Hey Fisher, win like a man and lose like a man.
Micky, I didn't play that cold desk 3 times.
You know what worst than a loser?
Someone who won't admit he played wrong.

So, what he think about what you do? Does he know?
No, he's long gone, Ben.
My dad's gone too. I'm sorry.
So, you know when you come to the store and ask me to join as a team,
is that because...
What?
I don't know, is because Micky asked you to?
Look, we've had three classes together.
You gave up presentation on mandatorily algorithms, that nobody understood.
You're the smartest person in every single one of those classes, Ben.
That's why I want you on the team.
That's why I came on to the store.
No, no.
Oh, God. I'm so sorry. -It's fine.
It's not a problem. -I don't know why I just did that.
Don't apologize. -Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
This is my stop. -You gettin' off here?
Ya, I gotta get off. -Oké.
But really, don't worry about that.
It's I-I don't know, it's because..
It's just we're on a team and we work together.
I get it. -Just don't feel bad about this.
Okay, sure. Allright.
My world was flashin' by a million miles a minute.
I had save over $100.000.
Only $200.000 to go.
But, there's still one thing I couldn't get off my mind.
The moment we left campus,
The concepts of vectors and formulas
were replace to countin'.
Shovel trackin', knowing when to hit and knowing when to color out.
I was becoming a pro on all levels.
I make more money on 1 trip to Vegas,
than I would have in 5 years and 9 months, 12 days and 6 hours
at Jay Press Men Wear House.
In Boston I was just Ben Campbell.
But in Vegas I could be anyone I want it.
You know what I gonna do? You know what I gonna do?
I gonna throw half million down on one hand. Come on
On one night I be high rollin’ hire to the pharmaceuticals fortune.
Leon, Could you make sure there is some champagne?
And maybe some strawberry lyin' there for me.
I might not be alone.
The next day I'll be the hottest videogame-designer on the west coast.
There he is...
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
No, please keep goin' these video is priceless.
I'm not gonna lie.
It did get, well a little confusin' sometime.
Operator?
Ya, roomservice?
Excuse me? We don't do room service.
What do you mean, you don't do room service?
In Boston we had a secret.
In Vegas we had a live.
Micky said I always gonna have more fun than I could possibly imagine.
And he was right.
It was too good to be true.
Ya. There you go, My night is got better. Thank you, Joe.
And it felt like it never goin' to end.
Clark?
I got somethin' over here. Take a look it is.
That guy? He is a kid.
He's on a tape from last week. He got a big roll on crushin' your tables.
Plus he orders the tonic and lime.
Tonic and lime? -What is that mean?
He wants you to think that he's drinkin'
Oké. So he's countin' or he just gettin' lucky?
He's not runnin' out in our progressive system.
He doubles on 10, that is heavy.
but he did know he got light.
How you could you tellin' he's havin' a light? -I'm countin'.
Tell me somethin' Cole if you can count that well then why you still consulting for us?
I've been asking myself the same thing.
Let's just say I like being on your side.
Bring up a frame with that man, I wanna him print.
So Terry, I heard you guys losing a lot of works by the
biometric face recognizing software.
Just give us a lot more time to give more focus on you guys.
That is impressive software. -They do.
Here, he is.
I still thinkin' there are a bigger fish to fry out there.
So do I.
Hey, Fisher.
He's mad at me and jealous to you. But don't worry.
Greatness suppose get that reaction sometimes.
Don't worry about that, I gotta go. -allright
Hey, what's goin' on?
He just don't like the subject I use for my final paper.
That's bullshit, Ben. -What?
I know when you lieying, I'm your best friend.
At least, I thought I was.
Are you on drugs, Ben?
Because there is a group they're meeting in the same hall every Saturday.
No, I am not on drugs.
I'll go to the meeting if you need me to.
Why don't you tell me you quit Jay Press?
I don't know.
Because of Jill Taylor? -No.
What about Harvard?
I find a way to solve it out.
Look, I gotta go, I'll see you. -Ben?
I think the worst part of it was, Not being able to tell anyone.
But for the first time in my life,
The world make itself, easy for me.
Here your cash, Sir.
And I like it.
That's for you.
We just stake $210.000.
Yes.
And then, this how we play.
And play, we did.
Nothing cost too much.
Nothing was out of reach.
I guess you could say the casino has to paid,
Ben Campbell a major upgrade.
Door rooms turn into hallway suites.
Bicycles became street limo.
And college bar where always full with college dude,
were upgrade so...
Well, something more interesting.

That is hell aftershave. -Sir, could you not...
This girl only bet minimum.
Why she keep lookin' at him?
Terry, rewind the tape.
I wanna see if she a- signals him to come to the table.
We not use tapes, anymore. Old school.
It's digital, now.
Nevermind. Terry, rewind it.
Oké.
She's playing the table minimum.
Now, in the seconds she's gonna do something
She gonna raise her hand, scratch her head.
There it is.
That's the signal. See. She gave him the signal.
He comes to the table. I'm tellin' you they're working together.

You look just like that.
What I could never understand though is...

You know, I think that maybe... -Put your hands off me -oh...

Let's start this motor up. -Beautiful.

I don't understand. -It's wrong size.
No, what?
What the hell, Ben? This is an 8k.
Right.
We need it 16k.
I can't believe this.
I thought it was an 8k. -No, you didn't.
Yeah, I did. -No, you didn't.
You know the entire time that this script need an 16k.
Dammit, Ben.
It's gonna take us two weeks to got the fresh 16k from the fabrications.
Another five days minimum to got it ready to press.
Miles, calm down, allright. It was just an honest mistake.
What?
You know what, uhm... I think we gonna have to go at this without you man.
You gonna what?
No, no it's not just mine, nor it is yours.
We've been workin' on this for over a year.
I know that, But your heart just isn't in this anymore.
Are you serious?
Fine.
You know what, I don't even care.
Honestly, I don't even care. You know, why?
Because, no one in the real world, give a shit about 209 competition.
It's just something you build up in your head, to make yourself feel important.
You guys pathetic -Thanks.
Good evening, Sir. Welcome back to the club.
Is that something I can do for you?
Double down.
I guess you play big, or you don't play at all.
Right?
Honey, there you are... let's go, we don't wanna miss the show.
Honey, we actually playin' a game here. -ya.
Why don't you run upstairs and wait for me there, ok?
Allright. Let's go.
Ya, allright. I got the worst headache right now.
Come on monkey. -16
Monkey, come on. -21
You kill us.
I guess it's not my night.
Are you out of your mind? -I don't know what happen.
I-I'm missed up, I'm sorry.
Oh, you’re sorry. See, now that I've been waitin' , Ben.
As long as you’re sorry. I'm out of $200.000 but Ben sorry.
Everybody hear that? Ben, sorry!
So, we all could go back being friend and laughin' over cocktails.
Come on, Micky, it can happen to anyone they got lost, they lose control.
You shut your mouth, this is business. -Hey, I let you down, allright. I get it.
Excuse me. You let me down? I don't care.
Let me one thing clear to you: I am not your father.
You are not your friend. This is a business.
You are only as good to me as the money you're make,
and right now it’s not worth hell of a lot. You gonna give back everything you lost.
No, no, I can't do that. That money was for Harvard.
I've made you so much more than what I just lost.
It doesn't matter, Ben. You had very clear instruction,
and you didn't follow. You didn't do your job.
You weren't countin', You were gamblin'
Oya, why don't you out there then Micky, huh?
I mean we all take the risk,
Seems to me like you don't do shit.
This isn't about me.
You arrogant, little invert.
You all can find your on way to Boston.
And Ben, you gonna pay me that money, every penny,
One way or the other, and you damn know it.
I need to drink.
Anybody else?
We don't need him. -Ya, oké, Ben.
No, I'm serious. Why do we need him?
We have our own money now.
His cut was 50% and he doesn't even play.
Why do we need him? You know what I think?
I think we play out the weekend and I think we do this without him.
No, I don't think that's a good idea. We should go back to Boston and we figure this out.
Why don't we let the team decide?
I'm with Jill. This is Micky's team,
Micky brought us together. -And then he drop us apart.
I mean you saw how he play Fisher against me,
Choi, what do you say man? You wanna make some money?
Kind of. -Really?
We need a $100.000, just to play.
You talkin' about risking our own money?
I only sayin' is we should try it.
You know if we make the investment, then we take all of the winning
All of it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ya? -Yeah.
Choi? -I'm in.
Now I need to drink.
What are you doing? -What?
What are you doing?
We printing money. What you think just 'cause Micky left we gonna stop?
No, I can do this. I can lead this team.
You know, I'm not the same guy I was back in Boston.
Exactly. -Ya, exactly.
Isn't this exactly who you wanna me to be when you're first came in to the store to buy tie?
What happen with the $300.000 and I out, huh?
What happen with "a means to an end"?
How much do you have? -What?
How much do you have? -I got enough.
Come on, Ben. How much do you have save back in Boston?
Allright, I got $315.000. Oke. -Oh, Okay.. -Why are you still here?
Because I wanna still be here,
I like being here, so does everybody else.
So come on, Jill. Are you in?
You are the big player, Ben? -Yes, I am.
Can I get the drink?
Rose, I wanna thank you. You've been most accommodating.
This is for you. Ok, take care.
Hey, good luck.
Hey, how we're doin' here people?
Ya, I gonna put you on hold while I track him down.
I just got interesting call.
Nobody left a fire on Planet Hollywood. It's our last client.
I don't know about that.
This is Cole.
Oh, queen of diamond, your lady luck tonight.
You doin' good. -You the real winner.
Sometimes. Just like everybody else. -And why don't I believe that?
Maybe you just smarter than anybody else, huh?
Better you spin that way your entire life.
Except if you choose to payin' dividend, am I right?
I split 'em.
Desk heavy and since I've been here the count still plus 7
Kianna, I think we have a serious problem, -Shit.
Oké. Let's go. -I'm out, thank you.
Come on, let's go.
I think we need to call security?
I don't think they're gonna help. Let's go. Come on.
Let's take a walk, huh? -Come on, kid...
See, if we can get you that 'chicken dinner'.
It's call the Biometrics.
Biometrics is sort of a fingerprint of your face.
See, when the player sits down on the table, the software reads this a-biometric profile,
Biometric profile of your face, cross- reference with the database of counters.
Software probably put you and me out the business but I still can do this.
Allright...
Oh, you understand all this. You go to MIT.
Smart boy
My name is Cole Williams.
And if I ever see you in this town again.
I will break your cheekbone with the small hammer,
And then I will kill you.
Please... Just take my money. You can take it.
Tell me, How's good old Professor Rosa doin'?
Oh ya, Me and Micky, we go all the way back.
I spent years chasin' him all over this town.
Give him a beat down, let him left only we find him on a table a week later.
He was very persistence.
And then, 1 September night, when I was in Boston on my father's funeral,
My casino was takin' for 7 figures, can you imagine that?
The most ever taken by single counter on one night.
Of course, I was naturally on ceremonial sleep, FIRED!.
The only thing, though
I never saw Micky Rosa after that.
Never.
Cochi was the first to make the regular study
of the condition for convergent infinite series
and was concern developing the basic serum.
of the calculus as vigorously as possible.
Any question? No? Allright, movin' on.
Is it true that Cochi stole from his student?
Yes, I heard that What your theory on that?
They say, he uses his student for their brilliant.
And discredit 'em and stole their equations
Stole their hard work.
Well, that wouldn't be the first time a teacher accuse to that,
I think was his referring to is a Vladimir Stubnitsky, yes?
He's a student of Cochi, who accuse Cochi
Stealin' his four volume text on this analyses,
and publishing it under a pseudonym.
Of course, nobody know what really went down there.
They never did prove that and without the proof it's a little like it never happens.
And you know, it's a real shame because if Stubnitsky just realize,
that he shouldn't across Cochi, this was just the spirit,
and if he been able to keep beyond some of the personal mistake that their made,
might no doubt that Cochi will work him again,
and they could done, great things together.
But, as history shows us some student never learn.
You should get your eye lookup.
You okay?
Everything’s gone.
What? -Micky has taken everything.
He's taken my money. Takin' away Harvard Med, even MIT.
What are you talkin' about? -Micky has taken everything.
I-I gotta find a way, I get it back.
What are you insane?
You just got a shit kick at you and won't you just let it go?!
What I suppose to do Jill? I just lost everything.
But, please...
I don't want lose you too...
Ben, you were drag away in Vegas,
I have no idea, where you were.
I know.
I'm so sorry if I hurt you.
I am sorry.
In Vegas, I don't know what happen, That wasn't me.
Look, you know me.
You know what I...
You know me.
It just, I need you trust me.
And the winner of this year's 209, for excellence in the field of robotics,
goes to the team, of Connoly and Azazzi.
That's it. That's the story.
Jill Taylor? Really?
Yeah. Yeah, really.
Wow, -It doesn't feels like wow, Miles.
I really screwed it up. -Ya, you did.
But, you got a life experience.
I can't believe how I treat you, Miles.
You know, You are my best friend.
And I really let you down.
I really let you down. I'm sorry.
And I'm happy for you. You know,
Winning the 209, that's great.
Jill Taylor, really? -Yeah.
So, let me get this straight.
Money,
Girls,
High hallway suites.
Clubs.
Vegas.
Ya, I think I probably would've blown off 209 competition too.
So, we cool?
Ya, we cool.
But, you better believe, you gonna make this up to me big time.
Allright.
So, what you gonna do now?
What you want, Ben? This is a gala night diner.
You need to dress up to come to one of this.
But, Stubnitsky wants to back in.
What?
Look, I've some time to think about what you said.
I want back in.
Why now?
Because, I have nothing else.
Ben, I'm not gonna lie to you.
You good. You very, very good.
But, you did exactly what I said not to,
You got emotional then you got stupid.
Now, you tell me why in the world I ever get back in business with you?
Look, I know shouldn't disrespected you. -Right? -I know that.
But this face recognition software,
Our window of opportunity is closin' against us.
I need this, Micky.
I really, really need this.
But what it take would have to be, really, really good,
to get me even vaguely interested,
Well, you know, that's why I was thinkin' maybe you should be the other big player.
Aren't two big players, winning big.
Hey, slow down. I haven't been playing for a long time, Ben.
But Fisher out.
And no one else in the team can be the big player, can they?
And if we do well,
we do really well.
You get your grades back, you get your Harvard Med.
And I might end sub ethical.
An amazing thing can be done from the inside, right?
get back to the hell of that class.
I gotta go be social.
Allright, now listen,
It's different out there this time.
The stakes are high, and it more dangerous.
But the return, It's gonna be the biggest.
Now, they're know our faces,
So, we gonna wear disguises. But, we can't mess it around
I'm glad you back with us, Micky.
I couldn't let you guys come back to this town,
and not to prove to Ben that I can do more than just to teach.
So, we all set,
this game is about the past and the future.
From tonight, we forget about the past.
We just focus on the future.
Right. This is our last time.
We know all the drills if the things get ugly,
we meet at the Fox strip club.
Nobody leaves this town alone.
Let's go make a killin'.
Allright.
See, what we can do with this.
See like I'm havin' one of those days,
You know what I mean, Jim?
I am bringin' all the luck today.
I'm just bringin' all the luck every one of this, any kind content of this. So much luck today
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner, there it is.
I love this town, and I love this game.
And Jim, I might even love you.
Hey, you mind if I'm sittin' here?
What's your name?
Shane, I gonna change you luck. This gonna become mine.
There you go. Give those all.
Yeah. -There it go.
Thank you.
Such a shame, Shane!
Oké. I suppose to double, right?
Is this your first time, darling?
I've been winnin' and losin' for hours..
Well, that's allright. I've been winnin' and losin' for years.
This never happens. This never happens.
I just gonna have to splits those tens. -Splittin' Tens.
Splittin' tens. -Splits tens. Again.
Thank you. -My chips, please.
Give me the chips. Give me the chips, come on.
My bus has to leave. I gotta walk my dog.

Come on! Go, Go...
Come on!
Move, move!
Come! This way.
Allright, let's go.
Go, go, go! Let's pull over.
I never saw Micky Rosa after that.
But, I think I wanna see him now.
And I want you to make that happens.
I-I don't work for Micky, anymore.
Come on, kid.
