- For you? $200.

- Whatever you want to do.

You charged me
$100 last time.

Aw, we're in a recession, baby.

Besides,

I promise
I'll make it...



Mmm, worth your while.

Shit! Shit, wait!

- Wait wait wait.
Stop stop stop.
- Woman: Shit!

- Man: Fuck. Fuck.
- Woman: Damn.

Grab a seatbelt.
Put it on.

- Put it back on.
- I still want my money.

- Fuck!
- [ Police radio chatter ]

Shhh. Be quiet.

I need your license
and registration, sir.

Uh--
[ Clears throat ]

Your I.D.
As well, ma'am.

Officer, uh--
[ Chuckles ]

I can explain.

I need you to both
step out of the car

and move to
the front of the hood.

Put your hands
where I can see 'em.

[ Clears throat ]
Really, I can explain.

You can explain it
to your wife

when she has to
bail you out.

And you--
you must be new, huh?

- Who do you work for?
- You mean who's my pimp?

Nobody.

I'm an independent
contractor.

I go to the highest bidder.

Is that so?

Stay right there.

Shit!

This is not happening.

[ Woman chuckles ]

I just have one question.

Was it worth
what you paid?

Yes. Yes, it wa--
yes, it was.

[ Laughs ]
Then give me my money.

Are you crazy?
Not now.

- Not in front of the cops.
- He ain't paying attention.

Besides, if we go to jail,
I'm gonna need that money

to bail myself out.
Now give it up.

Oh, shit.
He's coming back

and he saw me.

Mr. Patterson...

And Mrs. Patterson.

I understand
you're both young.

You're probably still
in the honeymoon phase,

but if you're
gonna role-play,

don't do it here.

I'm-- I'm-- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm gonna let you go
on a warning this time.

But if I catch you
down here again,

I will arrest both of you

for your own good.

- Just be safe.
- Thank you, officer.

- [ Giggles ]
- Thank you very much.

- Officer: Yeah.
- Bye.

- [ Laughing ]
- Come on.

[ Sighs ]

You should've seen
your face when we got caught.

What was I
supposed to do?

Shit. Can I have
my money back now?

Oh no.

You paid for a service.

And if you don't mind,

I still have
one more job left to do.

- Yeah.
- [ Unzips ]

Those were the times
I remember most--

when we took risks

and we were just
really deeply in love.

Baby!

Where are you?

[ Giggling ]

- [ Keys tapping ]
- Baby, where are you?

[ Grunts ]

- I have a surprise.
- No no no no no.

Look, baby, just give me--
I've gotta turn in
the financial report.

Look, it's Saturday.
Do you ever stop working?

Just give me
30 minutes, all right?
Got to finish this by noon.

Okay, and 30 minutes
turns into an hour,

- an hour turns into two.
- 10 minutes.

- Baby, you don't have to--
- no no no no, let me save.

- No no no.
Look look look.
- What?

- What is it?
- Give me a kiss.

You look beautiful.

Now close your eyes.

- Why do I gotta
close my eyes?
- Close your eyes.

- I don't like surprises.
- You'll like this one.

Hmm. What's that
gonna be, huh?

- [ Chuckles ]
- Now open.

- [ Laughs ]
- What is that?

Look.

Look.

- That's your baby.
- We did it.

- We did it.
- That's the little baby.

[ Giggles ]

- I love you so much.
- I love you too.

[ Moans ]

- I love you, baby.
- God, look at that baby.
He's so cute.

[ Laughs ]

- He's handsome.
- He looks like his daddy.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Moaning ]

What are you doing?

Maybe if we hurry up,
we can make twins.

[ Laughing ]

[ Birds cawing ]

Nigel:
Sweetie, I'm gonna
run to the office.

She would have been
two years old today.

I'm gonna step out
for a minute, okay?

- All right, Francesca,
I'm leaving.
- Okay.

Please make sure that
she takes her medication
and goes to sleep.

Okay, Mr. Patterson.

Oh, I forgot,
to give you the mail.

[ Man speaking
over loudspeakers ]

[ Panting ]

[ Gate slams ]

[ Man speaks

[ Alarm buzzes ]

[ Gate slams ]

Woman:
Bye, baby.
Be good.

Man:
Thank you.

[ Alarm buzzes ]

[ Alarm buzzes ]

[ R&B music playing ]

I'm in for two.

I'm in for two.

- I'm raising you 10.
- [ Laughs ]

Whoa, Nigel, you showing
your ass off tonight.

And don't even
try to say

- it's 'cause of that
lucky shirt.
- Ah.

But, uh...

Three js over deuce.

Ooh! Well,
this is my lucky shirt.

- Woman: Mm-hmm.
- Nigel: But you know
my hand was itching

when I woke up
this morning.

And you know
what that means?

Hmm?

I got money
coming my way.

[ Laughing ]

Ah, three ladies
over two bullets.

Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.

It was a pleasure
doing business with you.

I can't believe
I fucked around and lost
a stack to this chump.

Well, next time, don't bring
the tax refund money.

- Kiss my ass.
- [ Laughs ]

- Yo, Nigel.
- Don't hate.

- Come with me.
- All right.

- Hey, frank, want to take
care of these chips?
- Excuse me.

Yeah, Frankie, take care
of my chips there, will ya?

- Frank: Right away.
- Don't let 'em touch
my money, either.

- Let me get that.
- [ Gasps ]

He couldn't even show up

when I got out.

- I feel you, man.
- You don't feel me.

Look at it this way--

your life's gonna get
nothing but better, right?

[ Laughs ]
You know how it feels

to give your life
to your best friend

for nothing?

Fuck.

Man: Yo, Jackson.

Guess who's here?

D.
[ Chuckles ]

Thanks for picking
me up, Nigel.

I screwed up, man.
I'm sorry, Daniel.

My name is Jackson,
Mr. Superstar.

Jackson.
Let's get out of here

so we can talk,
all right?

Get your hands off me, man.

So answer me this, Nigel.

What was so important
that you couldn't pick up

your so-called
best friend?

I thought your
release was tomorrow.

- I apologize.
- [ Laughs ]

- Fuck you, Nigel!
- Hey hey hey.

You two gotta
take that elsewhere.

Look, I got this. Look--
oh! Come-- come-- come on!

Here you go. Come on.
Let me get under him.

[ Grunting ]

All right,
I'm gonna take him home.

Nigel:
Oh shit.

[ Grunting, panting ]

[ Moans ]

Shhh.

[ Sighs ]

Okay.

[ Snoring ]

[ Sighs ]

♪ I got a feeling.
Whoo!

I got a feeling you need
to shut up and just deal
the cards, Nigel.

I'm doing it.

Man:
Yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah.

Haven't had a winning hand
in a while, huh, mont?

Have you? I don't know.

I mean, I think I've been winning all night.

Nigel, just play
the game, okay?

Yeah, all right.
Well, you start, brother.

- All right, I'm in.
- [ Chip clacks ]

Nigel: Oh! Oh! Oh!

That's it?

- I fold.
- [ Tisks ]

[ Clears throat ]
I fold.

Must I do it
by myself?

Royal flush, gentlemen.

It was great
playing with you.

You're one lucky motherfucker,
you know that?

Personally, I think this
lucky motherfucker's

been cheating.

Ah, look look look.
Don't hate the player.

You gotta hate the game.

I won, ladies.

Now you really
want to leave

with all that money?

What's your
school gonna say

when they find out
you've been taking bribes

and cheating at cards?

Hmm?

You gonna get drafted
in the league then?

Man:
Hey hey hey hey.
Hold on, monty.

This is my spot.
You need to chill out, okay?

Nigel won fair and square.

Whatever.

All right, I'm out.
[ Clears throat ]

Keep it.

- Man: I don't get it, Nigel.
- [ Chips rattle ]

We out here hustling,
just trying to make it.

And you're getting ready
to be worth millions

and you're still
out here gambling?

- I'm cool.
- [ Chips rattle ]

[ Dog barking ]

How long you been
pulling that sneaky shit?

The way I figure it,
you greased me

for $1,500.

[ Chuckles ]
I'm sorry, monty.

Hey, just--
just take the money.

Oh, fuck the money.
This is about principle.

Punks like you
think you can

play by your own rules.

This ain't a game.
It's the streets.

Now why don't you
step off that card?

Come on. Step--

- [ gun clicks ]
- Step off.

Well, looky there.

Look, I'm about
to sign a pro deal

in a few weeks.

I can get you
more money, monty.

Why don't you
get me that card?

Come on.

Come on.

Another pro athlete
found shot dead

in a parking garage.

Is that what you want?

You know what I hate
about talent?

It's so random.

You know what I hate more?

Wasted talent.

- [ Monty grunts ]
- [ Gunshot ]

[ Gun clatters ]

[ Whimpers ]

What the hell
did you do, Nigel?

He was gonna kill--
he was gonna kill me.

He's not breathing.

- We have to call the police.
- No! No! Listen.

Nobody can know
I was here.

What do you mean?
Nigel, what are you
talking about?

He's dead!
We have to call somebody.

Okay, listen!
Let me think.

All right, listen.
Listen.

- You were gambling.
- Huh?

- You were gambling.
- What?

Wait wait,
what are you
talking about?

- Just fucking go
with the story.
- What story?

Okay, you were gambling!
That's the story, bro!

Nigel, you're not
making any sense.

If you fucking listen,

you'll understand
what's going on.

Okay?

You were gambling.

- He tried to Rob you,
all right?
- No no no.

- He tried to Rob--
- I don't like the way
this sounds--

- and tried to Rob you!
- Come on.

Asking me to come
pick you up is one thing,

but you want me
to take a fall for this?

Shut the fuck up, man!
Shut up, man!

Listen to me, Daniel.
Listen to me, man.

You had a scuffle.
You accidentally stabbed--

oh, no no no no no.
Nigel, Nigel, no.

Look, if they knew
I was here,

we'd lose out
on our contract.

Right?

Millions of dollars
for me and you.

All right?

Just-- just back off, man.
Give me a second.

You know what
you're asking me to do?

This is my life, Nigel.

Listen,
I promise you, bro,

I'm gonna take care of you
for the rest of your life.

Okay?

[ Distant siren wailing ]

What the hell
happened, Daniel?

Daniel!

He tried to Rob me.

- Francesca: Good morning.
- [ Gasps ]

It's time
for breakfast.

Hey.

Good morning.
[ Chuckles ]

- You remember Eden?
- [ All chuckle ]

Who could forget the most
beautiful girl in the school?

Oh, still the charmer.

Man! How long
has it been?

Uh, it's been 11 years,

but who's counting?

Well, I was,
uh, telling Eden

you're gonna be
staying with us

for a little while
until you get on your feet.

No, I think after I eat,
I'll be leaving.

- Nigel: No, come on, Daniel.
- Jackson.

Call me Jackson.

Jackson-- why?

I mean, after 11 years

of somebody calling you
by your last name,

you kind of get used to it.
So call me Jackson.

- Sure.
- So, Jackson,

what kind of plans
do you have?

I really like art.

I was hoping to find
a job at an art gallery,

save up some money
and eventually start my own.

Wow. Yeah, I remember
his beautiful paintings
at school.

Right, babe?
You were on a full
art scholarship?

Yeah, I was.
They actually let
me finish

my degree
while I was in.

It's not quite Michigan state,
but at least I finished.

Wow, that's wonderful.

Babe, why don't you go
check on your bath water?

I'm sure it's ready by now.

- Okay.
- Mmm. [ Chuckles ]

It was good
seeing you, Jackson.

It was good
seeing you too.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, that's
my world right there.

Mmm.

You know, I could really
use your help around here.

See, when Eden
lost our last baby,

she just sunk
into this depression.

She doesn't work right now--

you know, the meds
and everything.

So she spends a lot of time alone at home.

And we don't have family,

so it'd be nice
to have you around.

I guess it ain't all
peaches and cream, huh?

- Look, Daniel--
- Jackson.

I mean Jackson...

We can bicker and fight.

You can resent me all you want,

but it's not gonna help
either one of us progress.

It's not gonna fix anything.

- Now I know what
you're going through.
- [ Laughs ]

You know what the fuck
I'm going through?

You tell me how it feel
to give your future away

to your best friend
who promised you everything.

And he can't even come
and see you one time
while you locked up.

Look, i--
I gotta go to work.

No no no,
hold on, partner.

Man, you can't even
look me in my eyes, Nigel.

I know saying I'm sorry

does not make up
for 11 years.

But look,
when I promised you

I was gonna
take care of you,

I meant it.

Now I'm not
a billionaire,

but you can stay here
as long as you need.

[ Laughs ]

- We got a lot
of catching up to do.
- Yeah.

[ Water running ]

I love
my beautiful bracelet.

Thank you.

May I help you?

Francesca, is that you?

I was just looking
for the bathroom.

Well, this is not it.

Follow me.

Look...

I'd like to keep this
between you and me.

It was just a mistake.

Besides, I didn't
see anything.

Me no speak english.

[ Chuckles ]

Sure.

I get it.

Your room is
down here on the right.

Your bathroom too.

- Gracias.
- Let's go.

So... how long is
Jackson going to be

staying with us again?

I'm not sure.

What did he
go to jail for?

Why are you asking
so many questions?

I know you're
happy to see him,

but it's like living
with a complete stranger.

- Well, I owe him.
- Well, if you want
to help him out, Nigel,

why don't you just
give him some money?

Well, it's a little more
complicated than that.

Look, I could've sworn
somebody was looking
at me today

- while I was in the bath.
- [ Chuckles ]

It probably was
just your imagination.

How can you
be so sure?

Because he is gay,
all right?

That's what happens

when you're in jail
for that long.

Trust me.

Well, I didn't
think about that.

That's what it is.

Well, maybe you shouldn't
drop the soap then.

- [ Laughs ]
- Ah! No! Stop it,
stop it, stop it.

That is not funny.

Just don't worry
about him, all right?

He won't be here
much longer, I promise.

[ Ship horn blares ]

[ Bird squawks ]

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

- Have a sweat.
- Wow, man.

This is a real nice boat.

How long have you had it?

Uh... a while.

I made the first
down payment in college.

So that's where
all the gambling
money went to, huh?

- [ Pours drink ]
- Well, you know
I love the water.

This is the first thing
I paid off

with my signing bonus.

Where did
all that money go to?

- Well--
- thank you.

Hmm.

Well, I blew my knee out
in my third year,

so I couldn't perform.

Even though my contract
was for $30 mil,

it was all
performance based.

See, people hear
about all the money.

They don't know what
it takes to actually make it--

touchdowns, yardage,

number of playoffs--
the list goes on and on.

Half the million-dollar
athletes I know are broke.

So how did you make out?

All right.

We had a couple investments
that carried us over.

And your gambling?

[ Laughs ]

That is like my rush.

It's like being
on the football field.

Nigel, you know
your gambling

is what got me locked up

11 long years.

Man, I wrote you
every week

and you never replied.

I just got caught up
in the hype, man.

And then I lost everything.

I didn't know
how to tell someone

I promised everything to
that I had barely...

Anything left to give.

Look, I got a day job.

And the rest of my money
comes from the league pension.

You still could have wrote me back, Nigel.

I took the fall
for you, bro.

I read every single
one of your letters.

And it hurt every time

because I knew
I owed you my life.

When you say
you owe me your life,

do you mean it?

Yes, I do.

To new beginnings.

[ Chuckles ]

It's okay,
we can fix that for you.

- Can't we?
- Woman: Uh-huh.

Wait. Stop.

Stop!

[ Yawns ]

What are you

Watching TV.
Why, what's up?

Oh, nothing, man.

You standing there
in your towel

does not get me off.

[ Chuckles ]

What am I supposed
to think, huh?

I bring you strippers

and you can't even
get it up.

[ Laughs ]

Nigel Patterson.

[ Sighs ]

He didn't open
none of these mother...

Nigel's voice:
I read every single
one of your letters.

And it hurt every time.
Come on, you were like
a brother to me. He is gay.

- That's what happens
when you're in jail for--
- stupid! Stupid!

- I know what you're
going through.
- [ Panting ]

- Saying I'm sorry does
not make up for 11 years.
- Stupid!

I was gonna take care of you,

want to give up?

- I want a family, Nigel.
- Nigel: I am your family, baby.

I know you are, sweetheart
and I love you,

but I want
a complete family.

- Sure.
- Besides, they have other
fertility treatments.

Oh, be real.
I'm not gonna spend
another $50,000

on some bullshit.

Bullshit?

Well, I guess you'd
rather go spend it

on something smart
like gambling then, huh?

- And I'll have my regular.
- Ozzie: You got it.

So...

Are you and Nigel
getting along all right?

You say that like
we're a couple, old man.

Aw, come on, Jackson.

Don't go getting
all sensitive on me.

I was there
if you don't remember.

You two knuckleheads
caused me to lose my spot.

But I was lucky enough
to save a few bucks

and buy this place.

talking about?

that Nigel was

a young hothead,
always living above
his means.

When you took
the fall for him,

everybody knew the truth.

What do you mean?

I mean, it would
make more sense

for somebody who didn't
have any potential.

But you on the other hand,
you were--

you were a smart kid.
You had options.

[ Sighs ]
I mean, Claude,

it went so fast, man.

We were young
and besides,

nobody would've
believed me, man.

I already had a record

and he was the superstar
football player.

Oh, superstar my ass.

I mean, he comes up
in here occasionally

and wins a few dollars,
puts on a good front.

You know
the sad thing about it?

He's probably worth more
dead than he is alive.

Eden:
I'm so sorry.

I didn't know
you had company.
I made some breakfast.

Francesca didn't
come in today.

No, we're fine.

Speak for yourself.

Here I come.

God, you never turn down
good hospitality, Jackson.

[ Sighs ]

Thanks, Eden.

Mmm. This is good.

[ Laughs ]
You can be honest with me

about my cooking.

Okay.

It's pretty bad.

[ Laughs ]

You don't
have to eat that.

So what are you two
gonna do today?

I have to work
this afternoon.

What do you do?

I'm a medical assistant.

What about yourself?

I own a day spa,
but I'm taking

a little
time off right now.

Really?
[ Speaking Portuguese ]

I thought you were a model or something.

That's very sweet.

Um, but I just don't
feel like that lately.

Come on.

Then someone's
not doing their job.

A woman like you--
oh my god--

should always be made
to feel desirable.

By look, by words.

The sensual touch.

Thank you so much, Eden.

I've got to get going
to the office.

- Hey, baby.
- Hey, baby.

Mmm.

[ Giggles ]
Oh my god.

I gotta get going.
Have fun, guys.

Bye.

Listen, Eden,
if there's anything

you need done
around this house,

I'm the man to do it.

- Okay?
- Thanks.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Have you heard
from Francesca?

No, but it must be
something pretty serious.

Well, we need to hire
somebody else around here

because somebody needs
to take care of these things.

Well, I can
call the people
we had on the list

- before we hired Francesca.
- Yes, please.

Or...

We can hire Jackson.

Jackson?

Last week you wanted to know
when he was leaving.

And now you want me
to hire him as a housekeeper?

Well, I've had no choice

but to get used to him.

Besides, he's actually
been pretty helpful
around here lately.

Hmm.

Well, I'll think about it.

But meanwhile,
let's keep looking, all right?

I need somebody
who can cook.

Oh, babe, I don't mind
doing that for you.

Yeah, I know you don't mind,
but my stomach sure does.

[ Laughs ]

Mmm.

There you go.

Why don't you give me
some kisses, babe?

I got
a long day tomorrow.

I gotta take
a shower, I gotta--

well, I know
something else
that's really long.

Oh, yeah.
Let's-- okay, babe.

Come on.
[ Grunts ]

I'm tired.

[ Splashing ]

[ Hip-hop music playing
over headphones ]

Jackson!

Oop!

- Jackson.
- [ Gasps ]

Oh, hey! Hey.

Hey, man, what's up?

What do you got
going on here?

Aw, man, just planting
some fresh yellow roses

to give the yard
a splash of color.

- You know.
- Not a bad idea.

[ Chuckles ]
This is nice.

Hey, man, be careful.

You know you don't like to get your hands dirty.

[ Laughs ]
No pun intended.

Sure.

Whoa, what--
what is this doing in here?

- What's that?
- This is Francesca's bracelet.

Eden and I gave her this
like a few weeks ago

on her birthday.

You know, she was babbling
something in Spanish

about two days ago.

Maybe it was because she lost it.

Yeah, well...

She'll be happy
we found it.

I bet she will be.

Anyway, feel free
to put whatever
you want down.

My man!
[ Chuckles ]

Watch your step.

Excuse me.

I forgot
to introduce myself.

Believe it or not,

I am black.

My pleasure, black.

And I'm raising you 50.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

I do this
for a living, bro.

Run it.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

Not bad.
[ Speaks mandarin ]

Look, uh, someone
want to tell me what
the hell is going on here?

[ Whispers in mandarin ]

Mmm.

So how much
would you charge

for your exquisite
portrait of me?

It's virtually impossible
to put a tag on something...

Priceless.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

[ Velcro rips ]

I'm done.
It's been a long night.

What's up with this shit?

You're the owner.
I thought we have
rules here.

We play until there's
no money left on the table.

- That is the rule.
- Well, let's do it.

Ready?
[ Speaking mandarin ]

[ Chuckles ]

You've been talking
big shit all night

and now you want to put
your tail between your legs

like a--
like a little bitch?

Claude:
Hey hey, come on.

Give the man a break.

[ Exhales ]

My apologize.

Excuse my english.

My apology.

So what do you think
we should call this

when we're finished?

I don't know.

How about--

how about

"forbidden fruit"?

"Forbidden fruit."
I like that.

I like it a lot.

It's okay, Eden.

Come in.

[ Laughs ]
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to intrude.

Yes, you do.

[ Sighs ]
It's just that
it gets so lonely

with Nigel
always being out.

Why don't you come
and take a seat
next to Yuri?

[ Laughs ]
No, that's okay.

I don't bite, Eden...

Unless you want me to.

It-- it's just that
I don't want to hear

Nigel's mouth
when he comes back and--

oh, are you scared

you will get a spanking,

little naughty girl?

Eden:
No.

[ Chuckles ]

Well,

how does the portrait look
from your point of view?

Wow, it's gorgeous.

I have never seen
anything so beautiful.

That's a beautiful drawing.

Well, he can draw
the both of us.

Oh, I don't know.

I'd love that.

[ Speaks mandarin ]

Black:
Someone's lucky day.

I can see
and also I can feel

all this money,

just like those
sexy girls

waiting on the line

and wanting desperately...

Your sexy lips.

- No.
- [ Chips rattle ]

I have $350,000 here.

Where is your buck?

I don't have it.

"I don't have it."

You're so cute.

[ Speaking mandarin ]

Sounds like he can
bet his life on it.

Ha ha!

Yuri:
Let's dance.

[ Laughs ]
I don't know how to dance.

Of course you do.

Come here,
I'm going to teach you

a little bit
of moves from Brazil.

- Touch me.
- [ Both laugh ]

Don't be shy.
Come on, Eden.

Let's just dance.
Yeah.

- Eden: Like this?
- Yuri: Yeah.

Just have fun.

Eden:
Is this how
they do it in Brazil?

- Yuri: Yeah.
- Okay.

[ Giggling ]

[ Speaking mandarin ]

$350,000.

Are you sure?

Do you like my dress?

I got on my lucky one.

My... lucky... one.

[ Groans ]
I don't feel so good.

Come on, I'm gonna
take care of you.

Come here. Come.

- Come here, Eden.
- [ Groans ]

[ Groans ]
No, wait.

We shouldn't be doing this.

[ Whispers ]
You're gonna love this.

- [ Groaning ]
- [ Laughs ]

You are gonna
love this.

Jackson:
I've been waiting
on this a long time.

Nigel said everything
that belonged to him

belonged to me.

I guess we're
gonna see, huh?

Eden:
I don't feel so good.

[ Groans ]

Show me your cards.

[ Laughing ]

Jackson's voice:
Everything that
belonged to him.

[ Yuri speaks
Portuguese ]

Eden's voice:
We shouldn't be doing this.

[ Yuri speaks Portuguese ]

- [ Laughs ]
- Black's voice:
Got on my lucky one.

- Yuri: I'm feeling lucky.
- Jackson: I'd love that.

- [ Moans ]
- Yuri's voice: Shhh.

- Eden: No.
- Black: Your sexy lips.

- [ Overlapping voices ]
- [ Woman gasps ]

[ Laughing, moaning ]

Yuri's voice:
You are gonna love this.

Black's voice:
My lucky one.

- [ Woman moans ]
- Black's voice: You can
bet your life on it.

Black:
$350,000.

Looks like you need
to give the man
some fresh air.

I need my money
in 48 hours.

Look at me.

You know I'm not joking.

You can bet
your life on it.

Game over.

Game over!

Get the fuck out!

Fuck.

I should've worn
my lucky shirt.

I guess I should
have worn it.

It was right there.

[ Phone ringing ]

Hello.

Black:
42 hours left, Nigel.

The clock is ticking away.

$250,000.

How did you
get this number?

Huh?

How did you
get this number?

- Who gave you this number?
- Goodbye.

[ Beeps ]

[ Panting ]

[ Birds twittering ]

[ Brush clatters ]

[ Groans ]

[ Knocks at door ]

Babe, open the door.
I've got to go to work.

I'm coming.

Come on.

Why you locking
doors now, hmm?

- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing.

[ Sighs ]

I'm sorry I've been
so out of it lately.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

You know, I've been thinking
about having another baby.

- [ Chuckles ]
- Really?

Yeah.

I just have to take care
of a couple of things

and then we should
discuss it.

Okay.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

I-I'm fine.
I'm just--

I'm just
a little tired.

Okay. I'm gonna
get ready for work.

Nigel:
Patterson, 43, 93.

Yes, um,

I'd like to take out
an additional loan

on the boat.

What do you mean
I don't possess the title?

That-- that's my boat.
I've owned the boat

for 15 years.

Thanks.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck!

Oh.

[ Grunting ]

What the hell?

Oh god.

[ Phone buzzing ]

[ Beeps ]

- Thank god. What's up?
- Claude: Nigel, listen.

I got some info
on that Asian chick.

Yeah?

She was just released
from the state pen.

She did a 10-year stretch
for drug trafficking

and money laundering.

- Drug dealer?
- Yeah yeah,

but listen to this.

She beat
a five-count murder charge.

Now there's no history
of her gambling though.

Okay, um, good.

All right,
thank you. Thanks.

Nigel...

You be careful.

[ Phone beeps ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Tires screech ]

Man:
Half a million.

Not a penny more,
I told you.

Because that's
what it's worth.

Look, if you want
to go to Lucas,

that is your privilege.

But I tell you,
he won't give you any more.

No.

Well, I have other
things in the works.

Mm-hmm.
So let me know

by tomorrow.

Good.

Where's Anthony?

He's not here.

I'm vladamir.

Hold on.

Nobody told me
about no vladamir.

Then leave.

Nobody's holding
a gun to your head.

- Huh?
- Okay, wait wait,
look, wait.

All right.

All right.

[ Jewelry jangling ]

Can you hurry up?
I mean--

relax.

You'll give yourself
heart attack.

Ah.
All right, it, uh--

it looks good.

[ Speaks Russian ]

Hold-- hold on.
Where is he going?

You want to get paid,
don't you?

Yeah.

So how much
are we talking?

$50,000.

I paid 45
for this watch alone.

My friend,
nothing here is new.

This is street value.
You understand, huh?

You can take it
or you can leave it.

All right. Fuck!

Okay, look, wait.

I got this.

This is my wife's
wedding ring.

Ah.

It's very beautiful.

- Yes.
- How much?

- $30,000.
- 40.

[ Laughs ]

You're killing me.

35.

- Okay.
- Good. Deal.

Eden:
Babe, have you seen
my wedding ring?

I think I lost it again.

That's-- that's what I need
to talk to you about.

Oh my god!
What happened
to your face?

Oh no.
I'm-- I'm okay.

I-I can explain.

I love you.

I love you too, Nigel.
What's wrong?

I lost a lot of money
we don't have.

You promised me
you would stop.

- But I was up.
- How much?

- How much?
- $250,000.

Wait a minute.
Is that why you stole
my wedding ring?

You put me
through this same mess

when I was pregnant.

And you blamed me
when I lost the baby.

But because
I loved you,

never once--
never once did I tell you

how much pressure--

how much pressure
you put on me,

our marriage,

our unborn child.

Because you
are selfish, Nigel.

I can fix this, okay?

And after that,
we can start over.

Start over with what?

All I need is the money
from our savings.

It's gone.

No no.

No no.
That's ridiculous.
It's not gone.

- It's gone.
- How can it be gone?

I used it on
fertility treatments.

What?
Are you kidding me?

- You haven't been
listening, Nigel.
- Yes, I have.

No, you haven't!
You have been hearing me,

but you have
not been listening, Nigel.

And there is a difference.

We are supposed
to be one flesh.

One unit.

Oh!

How could you go
behind my back like that?

Why don't you ask yourself

the same fucking question?

Oh, god.

Eden...

You had every right
to do what you did.

I'm sorry.

I don't want you to worry
about a child or money

or anything else
for that matter...

Ever again.

I mean it.

And I am listening.

I want you to know
I'd rather die

before I'd ever
hurt you again.

[ Sighs ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Phone beeps ]

- Hello.
- Black: Eight hours.

Look, lady,

I got about 100 large.

If you give me
some more time,

I can get the rest
in a few...

Weeks.

Eden sure is pretty.

You leave my--
you leave my wife

- out of it.
- No.

You leave her
out of this.

$250k in eight hours

or one of you

is going to be
writing a eulogy.

You don't
touch my wife.

You hear me?

You don't touch my wife.

[ Beeps ]

Wow, I was told
Francesca left

on some type
of family emergency.

She was my caretaker
and she just

stopped coming in.

Well, we're still gathering
information from her family

- and we will need your help.
- [ Phone ringing ]

Oh, pardon me.

- [ Beeps ]
- Hello.

Yuri:
Hey, Eden.
Is Jackson in?

No, but I can take a message.

I actually called
to speak to you. I--

oh god, I don't know
how to say this,

but I saw something
in Jackson's room

that really
disturbed me.

What?

Here's your cut.

He's going to bring
the rest of the money
by tonight.

Really?

You didn't think I was
going to kill him, did you?

[ Plastic rustling ]

[ Camera whirring ]

Jackson:
I've been waiting on this

for a very long time.

You know how
Nigel told me

everything that was his

was mine?

- [ Jackson laughs ]
- [ Eden crying ]

No.

Jackson:
I'd love that.

Yuri:
You're gonna feel
so much better.

Come here.

No.

Nigel.

I'm so sorry, Nigel.

Nigel:
Yes.

I need to make this
effective immediately.

I can sign
and fax you

everything right now.

Man:
Look, it took me a while
to get this approved

because it was such a drastic
change in your policy,

but, uh, I pushed it through
and I got it done.

Okay, we have
Eden Patterson

as your
primary beneficiary

for $9 million

and Daniel e. Jackson
for $1 million.

- Is that correct?
- Correct, yes.

[ Gasps ]

Oh my god.

[ Whispers ]
Francesca.

Eden. Eden.
Eden!

Nigel:
Eden! Baby!

Wake up.

Why did you do that?

Wake up.
Wake up, come on.

- Come on. Please.
- [ Dials ]

Please wake up, baby.

Yes, you--
[ Gasps ]

Gotta come here quick,
please-- my wife.

My wife is dying.

Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?

This is all my fault.
I'm so-- I'm so sorry.

Come on, move.

Come on!

[ Sobbing ]

Wake up.

Please, god!
Please!

[ Screams ]
No!

No.

Hmm.

Oh, no.
Oh, no no no.

No.

[ Phone ringing ]

Jackson:
Meet me at the same
spot we used to meet at.

I think you know
where it is.

Eden:
Do you know what time
Francesca left today?

She didn't come in.

She said it was some kind
of family emergency in Mexico.

Nigel's voice:
I came out here to ask you

if you wanted to stick
around for a little while.

Help around the house,
watch over Eden.

Is she safe?

Nigel's voice:
I don't use trick
cards anymore.

I always let them
see me sweat

so my opponents think
they got me figured out.

Black's voice:
Do you like my dress?

I've got on
my lucky one.

My... lucky... one.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Revs engine ]

Jackson:
I've been waiting
on this a long time.

Eden:
Get off of me!

Don't!

[ Grunting ]

- [ Gasps ]
- Yuri: Eden!

[ Coughing ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Phone buzzing ]

Aren't you gonna
answer that?

- [ Beeps ]
- Hello.

Nigel.
Where the hell are you?

I've been trying
to reach you.

Listen, black is dead.

I need you to tell me
what the hell is going on.

Everything's okay, Claude.

Thank you.

You've been
a true friend.

I got everything
under control.

Hey hey. Wait wait wait.
Listen, damn it.

- Listen to me.
- [ Clicks ]

[ Sighs ]

What the fuck was that, man?
What's going on?

I ran into
Francesca today.

Huh.
How's she doing?

Dead!

Where the fuck you
taking me to, Nigel?

What's going on?

- Read that letter.
- I don't want to read no--

- read that letter!
- You tell me what's going on!

Read the letter.

"When you went away,
it was the worst
day of my life."

Read it!

"Now I promise you..."

You made me an additional
beneficiary for $1 million?

Yeah, see?
Read the fucking letter.

"I know money
can't get you back
the years you've lost...

But I'm willing to give you my life in return.

I love you both dearly.
Nigel Patterson."

What the fuck is this?

Is that what
you wanted? Huh?

- You killed her.
- It was both of us.

- You killed her.
- [ Tires screeching ]

Get off me!

- Get off me!
- [ Car horn blares ]

11 years of my life!

Get off me.

- Oh, shit!
- [ Loud crash ]

[ Woman vocalizing ]

[ Birds twittering ]

[ Loud crash ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Eden:
Sometimes you spend
your whole life

searching
for a paradise.

And at the end
of the day
you realize

the very thing you've
been searching for,

you already had.

I guess I had
to lose it

to realize it.

For many of us this is
a never-ending story.

I mean,
some will never see

the insatiable thirst

for the illusion
of perfection

and temptation that always
pushes them to the edge.

Thank you, doctor.

No, thank you

for opening up.

Well, I have
a flight to catch.

Have a safe trip.

And again, congratulations
on the baby.

I know you'll make
a wonderful mother.

You really do
deserve it.

Thank you.
