[WOMAN] Feeling lucky?
You've come to the right place.
[CHEERING]
[WOMAN] Fun in the sun? No problem.
- A hundred ways to win? Easy.
- [SHOUTS]
And for those of you who aren't
satisfied to just play all day,
you can play all night.
- Hi, I'm Marty Byrde.
- And I'm Wendy Byrde.
If you're gambling on your next
vacation, make the smart bet.
Come see us here at the Missouri Belle.
- [BOTH] We like your odds!
- [CHEERING]
[MAN] The Missouri Belle Casino
is open 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Come see us in Osage Beach.
I think that it needed more star wipes.
Oh, you think?
Great idea.
- Well, I will get right to work. Okay.
- [WENDY] Okay.
Thank you so much.
What else we have today?
[CHARLOTTE SIGHS] Um
The lady who wanted to open the
toe ring stand is here at ten.
And then at noon, it's the president
of the Midwest Dental Alliance.
- [WENDY] Noon, right?
- Yeah.
Good morning, sir.
Two o'clock, Paddock
Road Truck Stop, I-70.
Did your mom smoke a lot of weed
when she was pregnant with you?
Huff paint, maybe?
What's your fucking problem?
We already used that spot.
Three months ago.
We need to alter every delivery
in case if we're being surveilled.
That means different fucking
days, different fucking weeks,
and different fucking locations.
What else you got?
You know, I know how this shit
works a whole lot better than you.
It doesn't seem like it.
There's an old park off
I-29 near mile marker 57.
Yeah, no, I already
gave my guys the drop.
They got other deliveries.
[RUTH] Okay, I'll be
at the park at four.
That'll give enough time for them
to emotionally adjust
to the change of plans.
Don't be fucking late.
Uh, hey, Ruth, can I
have a water, please?
Ten a.m., ten a.m., and he
already smells like fucking booze.
Why don't you calm down
and forget about it, okay?
Tell me how the poker
tournament's coming together.
You know, if my daddy ran the KC mob
He doesn't. Leave it.
We already paid them a fucking fortune
because we already pissed them off.
All right? I want you to concentrate
on bringing in the high rollers.
- Got it?
- Okay.
So does getting the game up mean
we're finally gonna get to work?
No, getting the game on means we
get more people in this casino.
We're already working.
I made five pickups already.
Which is fine. I don't mind
dealing with those dickheads.
I'm fucking management, I'm mature.
But all that cash is
just sitting with Buddy
doing jack squat.
Listen, I'm not gonna
start laundering again
until I feel completely safe.
We hired over 200 people in this place.
Law of averages tells me that
the FBI already planted an agent.
[RUTH] Then you should've
fucking vetted people better.
It was just me and one other human
at a desk. How can I trust that?
[SCOFFS] Well, what the
fuck else is there to trust?
[SIGHS] Listen.
As individuals, people are
completely unpredictable. Okay?
One person making one bet, I couldn't
tell you what they're gonna do.
But the law of large numbers tells me
a million people making a million bets,
that is completely predictable,
completely ordered.
So, you give me a million
people walking in this place
and I can tell you that
3% are trying to cheat us,
while another 1.2%
would have been sent here
to try to catch us committing a crime.
There will be a pattern as to how
those 3% are trying to cheat us,
just as sure as there's a pattern
as to how the 1.2% are
trying to catch us.
And you give me a little bit of
surveillance and a little bit of time,
and I'll find that pattern.
Good morning.
Jesus, fuck, you love this shit.
Well, I'm just trying to keep us safe.
[MAN] Obviously, gambling
has an allure for some,
it's just not for everyone.
I'm sure you can imagine,
dentists are a very diverse crew.
Which is why I think we
are the perfect destination.
We're not just offering
the Missouri Belle.
It's the whole lake. It's the community.
There are so many ways to
live your best life here.
[MAN] It's just [SIGHS]
I'm the president, and
this convention is my legacy.
We went to Branson under
the last administration.
Have you ever been?
Hell, it's not just country.
That is a misnomer.
We saw Molly Hatchet
open for 38 Special.
- Dr. Meade
- Fred.
Fr Well, let's let's cut
right to it, shall we, Fred?
What is it gonna take
to put us over the top
and host your convention?
REO Speedwagon.
- REO Speedwagon.
- Yeah.
If you're the kind of place
that can get the 'Wagon,
you're gonna have yourself
a whole lot of dentists.
Hmm.
Motherfuckers.
[RUTH] You're two hours late!
[MAN] Whoa. What's the matter with you?
I think I fucking just told you.
Oh, right. I get it.
Shark week?
- Just give me my shit.
- Okay.
[SIGHS] It's a nice spot.
[GRUNTS] I can see why
you want us to drive
three hours out of the way to it.
- Too bad we can't use it again.
- Next time, don't be fucking late.
[MAN] Yeah.
- [RUTH GRUNTS]
- [DRIVER'S DOOR OPENS]
- Hello!
- [ENGINE STARTS]
- [MAN] Goodbye!
- [DRIVER'S DOOR SHUTS]
[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]
[TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]
Hi.
It's your lucky day.
I got two steaks in my freezer,
and if you'll run out and get
them, I'll cook for the both of us.
[RUTH SIGHS]
"Sure, Ruth, that sounds fucking awesome
and real fucking nice
of you, too! Thanks".
That sounds fucking awesome.
What you smiling about?
[CLEARS THROAT] Um
[SIGHS] Stacey's grandma
is making sloppy joes.
I mean, I could cancel if you want.
I can't believe someone's
actually fucking dating you.
[LAUGHING]
[ENGINE STARTS, CAR DOOR SLAMS]
[VEHICLE PULLS AWAY]
[JONAH] What you do is you mine the gold
and then you sell it
in bulk to a broker.
It's almost like a commodities
exchange, and then
that third party sells
it to the mass market.
Thank you for cooking. It smells great.
[CHARLOTTE] Know what
it pairs well with?
Mom.
One.
But, sweetie, I just
I don't understand. It's a video game.
- It's not real gold.
- Yeah, but gamers are real.
And real people are impatient.
They'll always pay to
get ahead if they can
- [MARTY] Hi. Smells great.
- and gold gets you to the next levels.
[WENDY STAMMERS] Is that even legal?
Technically, no, but you can just
log in with a different username.
[WENDY] Yeah, I don't like it.
I've made $6,000 so far this month.
$6,000? On what? That sounds good.
Okay. The casino is open 24/7.
You don't have to watch it every second.
I'm very well aware of
that, honey. We're on
- No phones at the dinner table.
- We just
I just want you to have
a summer job, something
Something fun.
Something outdoors.
Whoa. Did I fall asleep five years
and miss your 21st birthday?
What's that?
[WENDY] No, it's just it's just one.
"Just one". Got it.
[CHARLOTTE] Are you two
going to therapy tomorrow?
Yes, we're going to therapy tomorrow.
We're aware of your rules, Charlotte.
But I don't need a
job. I already have one.
Mining fake gold is not a job.
Oh, and by the way, that
reminds me, there's a
I have a business idea I really
wanted to talk to you about.
Okay, I'm intrigued.
[JONAH] You know, all
money's actually imaginary.
Uh, you know what, pal? Maybe
your mom is right. It is summer.
Maybe you should be outdoors, huh?
And maybe
uh, even make a friend, you know?
Okay.
And could I please have some lasagna?
[DOOR SLIDES OPEN]
[CLOSES]
So, listen
I know how concerned
you are about security.
And
I just want you to know I've
been thinking a lot about it, too.
About safety and our future.
Okay.
I've been reading about the cartel war.
Navarro's lost 61 men in
the last five weeks alone.
[MARTY] Hmm.
What's that got to do with us?
There's a saying in politics.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste".
- And?
- And
Helen's coming into town.
[STAMMERS] I know, you're
expecting the worst, but let's
let's preempt that.
Pitch her on the idea of expansion.
What does that mean?
Hotels.
Casinos, but we keep the
daily operations legitimate.
We sell the idea to
Navarro as a safety net.
[STAMMERS] We put his
share in a trust
for his kids. Untouchable.
That way, if the cartel war goes south,
then he has a whole new revenue stream.
Completely legal.
Well?
What do you think?
Well, I just I think
that's batshit crazy.
It's not.
- No?
- No.
It's not.
And actually, it was Helen's idea.
She talked to us about expansion.
There is a
hotel and casino
on the Kansas border in St. Joe's.
Its infrastructure is old.
It's getting killed by a
casino across the river.
And all it needs is an
influx of cash to upgrade,
and they would crush their competition,
but their margins are too low.
It's a win-win.
No.
Just like that?
- Just like that.
- Jesus.
[SCOFFS] Of course.
- I'm trying to keep us safe, Wendy.
- Yeah, well, so am I.
I mean, how much more fucking
stress do you wanna take on?
This would all be legitimate.
Except for the seed
money from the drug lord,
which, by definition, is not legitimate?
We are pre-approved by
the gaming commission.
No one would question
the initial investment.
We have Navarro's gratitude.
This would only increase it.
Don't you understand?
We're in.
We're alive. Big difference.
You want to know what a good outcome
from this cartel war would be?
Navarro getting blown
off the face of the Earth,
and you and I being out
from underneath this.
But what if that doesn't happen?
Expansion makes us a political player.
It insulates us, and that keeps us safe.
We could be the very legitimate,
very public face of
Missouri gaming. [CHUCKLES]
We'd be too big to fail.
Wendy, I did not agree to stay here
to start raising red
flag after red flag.
It's the smart play.
Stop. I'm here. Take the
fucking victory, okay?
And do not tell me what is
smart and what is not smart.
You blew through that
stop sign six months ago.
Do you know what I did today?
I talked to a woman
about her toe ring stand.
I have the time. We have the clout.
I can do this.
Just think think about the
things we could build.
Why should the Charles
Wilkeses of the world
have a stranglehold on this state?
We could have the
money and the influence.
We could control every
political lever in Missouri.
We could give millions to
the causes that we care about.
We could run this goddamn place.
Do you even hear yourself?
I do.
Do you hear me?
Good night.
What? So that's it?
- You're just gonna walk away?
- I'm not walking away.
Really? That's funny. I'm standing
here, you're moving the other way.
I'm saving it for therapy.
Great. You wanna save
everything for fucking therapy!
Well, that's what it's
there for, isn't it?
[WATER SPLASHING]
[MAN, IN SPANISH] What does
your husband have on you?
[WOMAN WHIMPERS]
You said the divorce was settled.
[SPUTTERING, GAGGING]
Why does he suddenly think
he can win a custody battle?
[WOMAN CRIES OUT]
What does he know?
Bring her up.
[GAGGING, SPUTTERING]
What does he know?
[PANTING]
He's an entitled asshole.
I have always shielded my family
from every aspect of the business.
[IN SPANISH] But we have to be sure, no?
[GASPING]
[GAGGING, COUGHING]
[MAN CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]
[GASPS, PANTING]
that this all goes away
if he just disappears?
[PANTING, COUGHS]
I told you, he doesn't know anything.
[WOMAN] No matter what I do,
I just can't get her to latch.
Even if I manage, it takes
an hour for her to feed,
which means it's only another
hour before I have to start again.
I don't know what to do.
I mean, I can't give her formula.
I've read the studies.
Those babies don't thrive.
[WOMAN 2] It's all just overwhelming.
My husband started working
double shifts, so he's never home,
but we still can't
afford full-time help.
Well, at least your baby's not gonna die
from being poisoned by formula.
Darlene, please remember this
is an emotionally safe space.
I'm sorry.
But you know, I lost my
husband six months ago,
and I am on my own.
And Ezekiel was born premature,
so I worry about health issues.
I didn't mean any offense.
I know you didn't, sweetheart.
- [AIR HISSING]
- [GRUNTS]
[INHALING]
[RUTH] How you paying for that, anyway?
You know, I've been depositing
money in your account.
Yeah, I know.
Then fucking take it!
What?
They grow virgin ears in Overland Park
or Webster Grove or wherever the fuck?
Bill your shit.
Just fucking take the money.
[WENDY] The problem is we have
very different philosophies
about how to move forward.
Well, that's going to happen
in a marriage, isn't it?
Especially if business is involved.
But in this case, the ramifications
are much more serious.
It can feel that way.
[MARTY] Wendy has a much higher
tolerance for risk than I do.
Well
let's dig into that a bit.
That scares you, doesn't it?
It does.
[WOMAN] Wendy, can you tell
Marty you understand he's scared?
I understand you're scared.
And when you get frightened
you withdraw.
I do.
[WOMAN] Wendy.
Sometimes, if you don't move forward
you die.
[WOMAN] Maybe it's best if
we hold back on the hyperbole.
And why do you think
this is so loaded for you?
Uh, well, I had a I used
to have a business partner
that, uh that took unnecessary risks.
[LAUGHS] He didn't
take unnecessary risks.
He was trying to cheat the system.
I'm not trying to cheat the system.
- I'm trying to grow the business.
- He blew up the company.
- I'm not trying to cheat anybody.
- It's unfortunate.
Okay, uh, let's take a step back.
May I offer an observation?
Please.
Do you feel like most
of the big movement,
philosophically at least,
has been from you?
Or
has it really been from Marty?
I swear, she always takes your side.
I think she wants to sleep with you.
Well, if she ever sides with
me too much, you'll know why.
Let's just keep talking, okay?
[BOTH CARS STARTING]
[TURNS OFF ENGINE]
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [MARTY] Sue? Hey, there you are.
[SIGHS] That was perfect. I
thought you were dynamite. Um
Next time, go a little
bit tougher on me.
You know? Let her win a
round or two, you know?
That sound like a good plan to you?
Either way, it's all fascinating.
All right.
Tea smells delicious,
by the way. We'll see ya.
[DOOR SHUTS]
[SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
So this is where all the action is, huh?
I thought you were at work.
Yeah, well, Mom kicked me out.
It's pretty ironic, huh?
I got you something.
Are you okay?
Because summer jobs and friends
Mom and Dad don't know
what they're talking about.
You know that, right?
[UNZIPPING BAG]
If you get mushy on
me, I'll take it back.
Holy shit!
Is this for real?
Yeah. You have to leave the
gold mine every once in a while.
I I can pay you back.
No. Please, come on.
Like Mom and Dad ever spend
any time outdoors themselves.
You must be excited. Tourist
season, booming economy.
How is the casino business, anyway?
I understand you're upset.
[HELEN] Oh, really? Do I seem upset?
My client, on the other hand
- [MARTY] We've been over all this.
- Yes, we have.
Considering the amount of hires that
we had to make, there's no way
[HELEN] Yes, you don't know
who might've infiltrated,
so you don't wanna
launder. I understand.
Just as I'm sure you understand that
I didn't ask to drive
to the Ozarks today,
but we all have to do
things that are outside
our comfort zone, don't we?
They think that we killed a fed.
Agent Petty's DNA was all
over Cade Langmore's truck.
They know you didn't kill him.
But you know what I mean.
I think what none of us can account for
is the emotional component for the FBI.
We can't be sure what level
of resources they'll invest.
So, is it a tougher hand? Sure.
But the reality is,
it doesn't matter if they think that
you hired Cade to get rid of Petty
and then got rid of him.
You've always known the
laundering would have to be done
right under the FBI's nose.
[MARTY] And it will.
I just need some time
before I start moving
tens of millions of dollars
through that building.
You're supposed to be the best.
That's why you were hired.
Well, then listen to me, okay?
People as individuals are
completely unpredictable.
One person making one bet, there's
no way I could possibly know
which way he or she is gonna go,
but the law of large numbers
Yeah, you're mistaking
this for a discussion.
Look, I was sent here
for a simple reason,
to deliver one simple message in person,
despite my own various shit-shows,
which I guarantee stack up
quite nicely against your own.
Launder the fucking money.
Starting tomorrow.
Are we good, or are we in our feelings?
We're good.
[HELEN] Good.
[WENDY] I'll show you out.
[WENDY] I'm sorry you had to
drive all the way here.
[HELEN] Gave me a chance
to clear my head. [SIGHS]
- Obviously, I've been reading the news.
- Mm-hmm.
Just how stressed is our boss about
what's going on?
Well, I can tell you
from personal experience,
he's in a hyper-vigilant place.
Would he be open to a solution
that might alleviate some of his stress?
Meaning what?
I have a proposal.
[LAUGHS] Actually, it was your idea.
[RUTH] Well, thank you. I
will call you in a few days.
[FRANK JR. GULPS] Hey, you.
I got a question for you.
Let's hear it, fuck-nut. [SIGHS]
I heard you're sending limos to
the St. Louis and KC airports.
Are you running a high-stakes
game? If so, I want in.
You're kidding me, right?
I play. I can afford it. I want a seat.
No fucking way.
Sometimes I think you
forget who you're talking to.
'Cause your daddy runs the KC mob?
You really think it's smart to have you
as an advertisement for this place?
It's a bunch of lawyers
and hedge fund sharks.
Do you honestly think that's
a different table than mine?
Let me say this as
respectfully as I possibly can.
Would you please kindly fuck
yourself and leave me alone?
Thank you.
You need to learn to
watch your fucking mouth.
What was that all about?
Frank Jr. wants in, but I shut him down.
[STAMMERS] Um, well, hang on
Let him play.
Are you fucking crazy?
[MARTY] Uh, you know,
we got bigger problems.
Really? Than some mobbed-up drunk
who's wanting to have
a seat at our table?
Well, um, our
our partners are demanding that
we start laundering tomorrow.
So, yes, right now having a
pissed off Frank Jr. on the floor
is a bigger problem than having
him happy and at the table.
So, we can't afford any
problems. Let him play.
Okay, I'll get a crew to smurf money in.
I mean, how many guys do you want?
I got a backup plan.
I don't want the money in
different people's hands.
- I'm gonna bring it in myself.
- How?
Come here. Um
Casino security was all built around
making sure that nobody steals money
from the full cash boxes
during a pit change.
But no one is watching
the new empty cash boxes
that are replacing them.
So, if
if those boxes are
already lined with cash
Then our dirty money is in circulation
before anyone's even looking.
Huh.
Yeah.
All right?
Yeah, I suppose that can work.
[THEOPHILUS LONDON'S "BEBEY" PLAYS]
Breaking the evening off
Catching a nice breeze
through the day line
Singing in my mind
"It's the way life goes"
Ain't cutting a man
slack I'ma take mine
Love is all right and
the grace shall show
Sundown I'll meet you
by the sea line
Mom.
I'm so sorry.
Run next door and get help.
I haven't been here for that
long. Just a couple nights.
I If I just get my things, I'll
be out of your hair in a second.
- I'm so sorry.
- [CRACKLES]
[SHOUTS]
[BOY] Nice!
Yeah! Sweet, Mom!
[IMPACT THUDS]
Do not kick him.
- Get up and get out!
- Come on!
I have never slashed a tire in my life.
Darlene, the woman saw
you with her own eyes.
Maybe she's having hallucinations.
All those hormones and breast
milk playing tricks on her.
It's a tire. I mean, can't
you just try to be reasonable?
Social Services checks up on my fitness.
I can't have some woman out there
hopped up on breast milk slandering me.
You gotta make this go away.
[RUTH] Called about Wyatt?
Yeah, I should have called you back.
You're that Langmore who
works for Marty Byrde.
[NIX] I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
I don't understand.
Well, I just I assumed you'd
be the one to bail him out.
Well, I got money.
Yeah, but I'm I'm afraid
that he doesn't want your money.
Well, I mean, can't can't
you just take it anyway?
Mnh-mnh. No, it's his prerogative.
I'm sorry.
[CLEARS THROAT] Wyatt,
I know you can hear me.
You got fucking money in your account.
At least use it to bail
yourself the fuck out of jail!
What'd the boy do?
- [MARTY] Got yourself a drone, huh?
- [LOUD WHIRRING]
[WENDY] Jonah has a
business proposition.
Is that right? You bought him a drone?
You're not doing any
drone porn, are you, Jonah?
Wait, "drone porn"?
Yeah, it's a thing.
I want to help with
security for my summer job.
[MARTY] Security.
[JONAH] I've been thinking
about surveillance
and how it can go both ways.
And I could use the drone
to map the whole lake,
every house, every car.
We'd have a record of
everyone who arrives.
That would help, right, when
you're trying to figure out
who might be watching us?
- Oh, boy
- I could even catalog license plate numbers,
and we could buy one of those scanners,
like the kind that, uh, shopping
malls and airport parking lots use.
You know, I think
It's outside like you wanted.
We just want you to
have a normal summer job.
But I know this could help.
I think your mom's right.
Um, you know, but
maybe we talk about it.
Should we talk about it a little bit?
- [CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
- Have a little family powwow?
- [WENDY] I'm sorry. I have to get this.
- Okay.
Um, where did you get it?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Everything okay?
[HELEN] My client's interested.
Well, that's great.
Mm-hmm. He wants to meet you.
I'm sorry, what?
We have a 24-hour window.
So I'm gonna need to pick you
up first thing in the morning.
[STAMMERS] I was
I was under the impression that
you'd bring the idea to him.
No, no. He wants you.
It's important for him to
know who he's in bed with.
I thought this was important to you.
- It is.
- Good.
Because it's significant enough for him
that he's willing to
leave a fucking fortress.
Do you understand that?
Yeah.
So, is that a yes?
Yes.
Good. See you in the morning.
[CALL DISCONNECTS]
[MARTY] Everything all right?
Everything's fine.
You know, just dentists,
REO Speedwagon. [LAUGHS]
[WENDY] So if you're
gonna start laundering,
how do you bring it
into the casino yourself?
Slowly.
How are you feeling?
It's a good plan.
It is, you know.

[VOICEMAIL BEEPS]
[WENDY] Hey, it's me.
I know you won't get this until later,
but I needed to tell you I'm
going to Chicago with Helen.
Her client is interested in
our business proposition.
I'm sorry I didn't
tell you this morning,
but I know how stressful your day is.
I didn't want to add to it.
I don't want you to think that
this is some kind of
unilateral decision.
I'm just thinking about our safety
and exploring all our options.
It'd be crazy not to.
Anyway, we'll talk.

- Boo! [LAUGHING]
- [COOING]
Hey.
Hey.
You want some honey?
Do you know who I am?
[LAUGHS] Of course.
Okay, so I need to know
why you paid my bail.
I was in the station. It
seemed like you needed a break.
You don't even know me.
Well, I admire people who
take a principled stand,
especially when it's
not the easy choice.
Look, I don't want to be
in debt to anybody, okay?
Fair enough. I respect that.
If you can wait a bit, I'll
take you on back to jail.
Or if you're not afraid of a
little hard work, I run a farm.
Maybe you and I could come
to some kind of arrangement.
- Yes!
- [WOMAN] Nice!
- [CHATTERING]
- [WOMAN] Yeah!
[RUTH] First of all, I wanna say
how much we appreciate y'all
playing in the first ever
Missouri Belle Classic.
[APPLAUSE]
[RUTH] And to the folks who
are here to watch and gamble,
it's a privilege to
have you, so thank you.
The game is no-limit Texas hold 'em.
It's a sit-and-go tournament.
Buy-in is $50,000.
Blinds will increase every 45 minutes.
Does anybody have any questions?
No? All right.
Players, introduce yourselves.
[MAN] I'm Jim Atkins, St. Louis.
- Hey, Frank Cosgrove Jr., Kansas City.
- [JIM] How are you?
- Hey. Frank. How you doing, sweetheart?
- Hi.
[SIGHS]
Two minutes.
We're all aware how much stress
this war is putting on the business.
Um, obviously, it's difficult to
find other avenues for revenue,
even in the best of times,
but, uh, Wendy and Marty are in a
unique position to help with that.
Why?
Because they have been
recognized as a legitimate entity
by the gaming industry in Missouri,
which means they can
create revenue streams
free of any legal entanglements,
which might give you a safety net.
Why?
Because they are pristine.
Because they're white.
Semantics.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Wendy has identified a casino
and hotel in Northwest Missouri
that needs an influx of cash to survive.
I have seen the
financials. She is right.
- It could give you a foothold.
- [SIGHS]
Why should I be worrying about this now?
- [HELEN] Well, we were thinking
- Eh-eh.
Please.
Because you might very
well be dead in six months.
We are all parents here,
and if this war goes wrong
what can you leave your kids?
[STAMMERS] Or if you're arrested
and and there's no
legitimate assets unencumbered
for them to access?
[STAMMERING] I
I mean, I imagine you
followed the trial last year.
It was not your organization,
but but still,
their kids, they had them
testify against their parents
because they were they were
trapped in the family business,
and this this gives
them a different path.
If you know you have a future,
there's no reason to blow
up anything in the present.
And And in two years, if
we're not all dead or in jail,
what's wrong with millions
more legitimate cash?
I've run the numbers,
and I really think
Okay.
[WENDY] I'm sorry.
[HELEN] Honestly, that's the longest
I've ever seen him sit for a meeting.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[MARTY] As you see
all the players in the
game have filed their 8300.
Even Frank Cosgrove Jr.?
$50,000 buy-in automatically
triggers a filing, no exceptions.
[SIGHS]
Did you know Agent Petty and I dated?
No.
We'd been apart for a while
before Cade Langmore
was hired to kill him.
But still
I'm sorry for your loss.
This is the point where I'm
ethically obligated to tell you
that you can make a deal.
I've got no reason to make a deal.
I'm not sure you comprehend
how poorly the cartel
war is going for Navarro,
but it won't be long
before all his hacks
and all the petty
criminals working for you
start looking for ways out.
Do you think they'll be loyal to you?
I find comfort
in the idea of you waiting every day
for that one slip-up
or betrayal.
That one wild card.
[FRANK JR.] What the fuck? Oh, come on.
Come on. You really trying
to sweat me like that?
- [DEALER] Sir.
- [LAUGHS]
Hey, hey, I'm fucking talking to you.
You really think you're
gonna bluff me on a flush?
I'm sorry, there's no swearing
and addressing others at the table.
How much we got there, dealer?
Nineteen thousand.
Okay, 19. That's fine with me.
I don't give a fuck about that.
Got your 19,000 right
up your ass here, pal.
[FRANK JR.] You think this makes
you some kind of fucking genius?
Asshole! Look at me.
[RUTH] Get him out of here.
You sure you want to do this
with everything I know about you?
- Get him the fuck out of here.
- [MAN] Sir.
[MEN AND WOMEN CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
[SIGHS]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
What did he say?
[WENDY] I'm standing in
front of our old house.
Really? How does it look?
- [WENDY] Same house, different family.
- [CHATTERING]
It's a good house.
It was.
[CAR DOORS SHUTTING]
You gonna make me ask you again?
Navarro called Helen an hour ago.
He likes the plan.
It doesn't mean we're obligated.
Yes, it does.
[SIGHS]
Are you still there?
- I gotta go.
- [CLICKS]
[SOFT METAL JINGLE]
[FRANK JR.] You embarrassed me.
How the fuck did you get back in here?
It's a poker game. People talk shit.
This time, you're gonna
get the fuck out,
and you're gonna stay the fuck out.
- Sit tight.
- Do you know what your problem is?
Gee, tell me.
Your problem is you're
just playing dress-up.
And you know it.
- [THUNDER RUMBLES]
- I put this game together all by myself,
and you fucked it up because
you can't bluff well enough
to pretend like you belong.
You're a fucking bitch.
And you're a low-rent daddy's boy
who can't even pay to get respect.
I should fucking kill you.
Come get you some.
Sit tight.
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
- Stupid bitch! Come on!
- [MOANING]
- [BOTH GRUNT]
- [CROWD GASPS]
Fuck!
Goddammit!
[RADIOHEAD'S "THE DAILY MAIL" PLAYS]
The moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over
The asylum
Waiting on the rapture
Singing, "We're here
To keep your prices down
Feed you to the hounds
To the Daily Mail"
Together
Together
You made a pig's ear
You made a mistake
Paid off security and
got through the gate
You got away with it
But we lie in wait
[VOCALIZING]
Where's the truth?
What's the use in hanging
around lost and found?
With your head in the sand
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life
Keep trying, you've no right
Fast or loose, win or lose
Jumped the queue, go back again
President for life
Lord of all that flies in the sky
The beasts of the earth
the fish in the sea
You've lost command
[VOCALIZING]
