Cashing Out (2020) - full transcript

I flopped Kings.

Pass.

Yo, you in this or not?

Nah, I fold.

Come on, grandpa.

You play your game and I'll play mine.

You've been
doing this shit all night.

- Get in the pot or don't.
- My house, my rules.

I'll do what I want.

- Can you please just go?
- I will eventually.

Please give me time.



- Freaking amateurs.
- Amateurs?

He calls me an amateur, he
calls you guys amateurs.

I raise 500.

Fold.

I'm all in.

Hey man, this place
is a black hole for data

because I am getting no signal right now.

Shut up.

Call.

Everybody up!

Against the wall, bitch.

Did you not hear what I said?

Hands up, bitch.

What are you looking at?



This is bullshit.

Well you guys weren't
very discrete about it.

Left the door wide open.

You guys are so smart.

Let's go.

Okay, what do we do now?

I'm still getting no signal.

I can try the emergency function.

- It doesn't matter.
- What do you mean?

Well y'all would know if
y'all wasn't a bunch of posers.

I don't understand.

You think all this money
gonna get over with the cops?

A friend of mine just got
busted for the same shit.

So we can't call the police?

Do y'all wanna go to jail tonight?

I seen them out there,
I knew something was up.

- It had to be one of y'all.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa man.

We're all here for the same reason, okay?

What?

They came in right after you pushed.

- So you think it was me?
- How do I know it wasn't?

Are you kidding me?

Did you not see I got punched?

Plus I have a hand, see for yourself.

- You.
- What?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey...
- You.

It wasn't me.

You was on your
phone this whole time.

How do I know you didn't call 'em in?

- Let him go, huh?
- Shut the hell up.

Weren't you
the last one outside?

What did you say?

You were the last one outside.

They said the door was open.

How do we know it wasn't you?

I play what I earn,

not like y'all.

♪ Woah oh, I'm falling
harder than I know ♪

♪ I was all in faster here we go ♪

♪ Now I'm running, running to survive ♪

♪ You got me in overdrive ♪

♪ I'm runnin' yeah you've done it ♪

♪ I'm runnin' so fast, you love it ♪

♪ I hope this day it never ends now ♪

♪ Her pretty face has
got me in overdrive ♪

You know that punch really hurt.

Don't be such a baby.

And what happened to
hitting me in the face?

You would've been expecting that.

Your reaction was way more believable.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure
you bruised my stomach.

It'll be fine before we do the next one.

The next one?

Hell yeah.

That was so much more exciting

than when I was hitting empty houses.

I loved the looks on their faces.

Hands up bitch, don't move.

I had each of them by the balls

and they couldn't do anything about it.

You know, we can't
keep hitting all of them.

Not all at once.

Gotta have time to clear the air.

Word spreads around really
quick with these guys.

Oh, this is the movie
I was telling you about.

Her dancing is so pretty.

Yeah, a lot more than yours.

I'm a great dancer.

Yeah well this doesn't count.

You're such an asshole.

I bet I could do a great routine
that would blow you away.

Try to get another game lined up.

I wanna do this again real soon.

Yeah, I'll see what I can find.

We can do better.

- Late night again?
- Yep.

What the hell is that?

Calm down, it's water,
something new I'm trying.

I'm really trying, Allen.

Take those.

Yo yo.

What are you doing letting

this knucklehead sleep on the couch?

I swear to God this guy
snores louder than my mom.

How's it going man,
when did you get back?

Doin' good, just got
back a few weeks ago.

- How you feeling?
- Come on, look at me.

It can't be too bad, at least finally

this guy has started pulling
his weight around here.

- Shut up.
- How's school?

Oh it's going good, I
graduate in the spring,

just finished my internship
and the guys tell me

they'll have a software engineering gig

lined up for me once I finish school.

Start me out at 50K a year.

Right on man, bet you got all

the ladies lining up don't you?

Oh you know me, I always got my pick.

Hey, why don't
you get Allen a job too?

I thought you
were gonna try to play...

Dude.

What?

You're not playing cards again, are you?

No.

I got the perfect job for him.

I'm thinking about making
him my personal biatch.

Oh yeah, yeah you're hilarious.

Hey, you don't want none of this son.

Get caught up and then
come into my office.

- Dude, can you be any later?
- I'm sorry Tony.

Okay first of all,
stop with this Tony shit.

The name is Anthony, all right?

I'm not 22 livin' in Daddy's basement.

I got kids, I got bills to pay.

You need to be on time, got it?

Start with section two.

Look, Tony.

December 16th, 32 minutes late.

January 4th, 26 minutes late and I've got

several other incidents
over the past few months.

Did you think I wasn't
keeping track of all this?

I can explain.

Look Allen, you're a good
kid and your work ethic

has improved over the
last couple of years but

what good is it with all
this continued foolishness?

I don't like using my dad as an excuse

but some days are harder than others.

I understand, taking care
of a loved one is tough.

But you have to take care of

the other things in your life too.

You don't wanna be busing
tables forever, do you?

No.

I know there are things I need to work on.

I just don't know how or where to start.

Have you ever thought about
getting professional help?

What do you mean?

Well like a caregiver
or a home health aid.

I mean my daughter Kate, she's a CNA

and she knows a lot of nurses
that do that type of work.

You think she would do it?

Well she's six months pregnant

and she's studying hard
to finish her degree.

Right.

I don't think we could afford it anyway.

After my dad lost his job,
the insurance went with

and we haven't had much
luck with other options.

Look, I'll talk to her.

CNAs are a bit more affordable.

Really, you would do that?

My pleasure.

Allen.

I'm getting that timeclock fixed

and if you're late again,
that's the last time.

It won't happen again.

Asshole.

Hi.

Look who it is, how are you sweetheart?

I'm good, how are you?

- How do I look?
- Handsome as always.

I wish I felt as good.

Well, I have something
to lift your spirits.

Jackie, you didn't have to do that.

I just wanted to say
thanks for helping me

nail that interview, I couldn't
have done it without you.

You'd of done just fine.

I still wanted to say thanks.

You are too good to me.

Why haven't you married this girl yet?

Can't you at least
eat the real food first?

And did you take your meds?

Look at this kid, like clockwork son.

Like clockwork.

Well I actually have to get going.

I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Thank you dear, it's nice to see you.

Bye.

See ya.

She's a good one,
reminds me of your mother.

I,

I need to ask you about something.

Okay, shoot.

I'm,

I've just got a lot going on right now.

Like what?

You know, just stuff.

Uh-huh.

And I'm gone a lot.

And?

I was thinking maybe we
could hire some extra help,

just so you're not by
yourself all the time.

Kid, kid, I don't need a babysitter.

It's not like that, my boss's daughter

is a Home Nurse and I looked it up.

They do cleaning, they cook so you

don't have to eat fast food all the time.

Allen no, I'm fine by
myself when you're not around.

Plus we don't have the D for that.

D?

D, dough.

Dad, come on.

Okay, I'm gonna go lie down.

The toilet's clogged by the way.

Glad she didn't go in there.

Exactly.

I don't know how these casinos expect us

to make any money playing for so little.

So you don't know anything going on?

All right yeah, well just
keep me updated okay?

Later.

Dad.

Son of a bitch.

What the hell happened?

My damn leg went out
trying to get to the kitchen.

Where'd you get all the cards and chips?

Never got rid of 'em,
should've known better with you.

Are you kidding me?

- It's just one.
- One?

I find that hard to believe when

I come home and you're on the floor.

- I'm not drunk.
- Even if it was just one,

that's enough to screw up your recovery.

This is your fault,

stressing me out with all this nurse talk.

How long were you on the floor?

How long?

A couple hours.

I'm calling that nurse.

Hi.

- How are you, Allen?
- Hey, good.

Good to see you Kate, thanks for coming.

It's no trouble.

Not the paradise you hoped for?

This must be Rich, hi I'm Kate.

I heard you at the door.

I'm sorry, he's a little cranky.

Right.

I heard you have alcohol hepatitis.

Have you stopped drink...

It's water.

Not the most conventional
way of stopping but it helps.

Okay.

I assume you're on medication?

Yeah, he's on anti-inflammatories
and painkillers.

Great, have you experienced
any symptoms of the disease?

Are you eating regularly?

Look lady, my liver's total shit.

My leg's bad from working a job I hated.

I made bad choices when I was younger

and I'm paying for it now,
there's no help for me.

You play no limit?

Excuse me?

50 chips,

you and me.

If I win, you let me do my job.

If I lose, I'll leave.

I don't play anymore.

Come on, what kinda poker
player turns down a good bet?

Throw him in too, I'll beat you both.

Fine but the kid sits out.

I don't need him thinking
that I'm okay with this.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Six.

Call.

- I'm all in.
- Call.

Well I got the boat, fours over aces.

So do I, aces over fours.

What?

My dad's been playing my whole
life, I know a few things.

Sorry about my dad.

Ever since the disease came,

he's kinda given up all hope on himself.

It's all right, he's not even my worst.

That was pretty impressive,
what you did in there.

I had no idea your dad played poker.

I learned it's best to
develop a relationship

with the clients early
on, do you play at all?

I do.

He doesn't know.

He didn't seem too
thrilled about you playing.

So,

where do we go from here?

I'll make a plan, I usually recommend

six hour visits three times a week.

Sometimes more depending on what you need

from me but I do housework
and general nursing,

hang out with him in layman's terms.

Okay so,

how much does that cost usually?

It depends, he doesn't have insurance so

the agency takes into account
what patients need but

I've seen people pay as
much as $250 per visit.

Oh.

You know I have to admit,
I've never seen anybody

use a home health aid for
somebody in your dad's condition.

Yeah.

I'm the only one here, I'm gone a lot.

- I could really use the help.
- Understood.

I'll make this a priority,
just know it's probably

gonna be a couple days with
other clients and school.

Yeah that's fine, I appreciate it.

You should talk to my dad about poker.

He really likes to talk about it.

- Thanks, I'll do that.
- Have a good night.

Hello?

Yeah.

Yeah no, I can do that.

- Text me the address.
- Sure.

Hey, is Jackie around?

Yeah, she's in the hallway.

Thanks.

Hey, is Jackie over there?

Yeah but she's
with someone right now.

Who does this?

You obviously
don't give a shit...

How would you like it if I

interrupted you on the
phone with your mother?

- It's not right.
- You know what, screw this.

- Just go.
- This is ridiculous.

Hey.

You okay?

Can we go talk somewhere?

Seriously.

Three different people
complained about them

and then I go and I do something about it

and then they make me
feel like I'm the asshole.

What makes people think they can do

whatever they want and
just get away with it?

- They had that look.
- What look?

I'm better than everyone, so F you.

Well they clearly never met me.

I held back, that's for sure.

I'm already so sick of this job.

Well at least you get
to boss people around.

It's not as great as it sounds.

I mean more money is nice

but I don't know.

Maybe it's not what I needed.

Maybe you need to try something
new, add some excitement.

The only thing that excites me

right now is when you're at a poker game.

Well there's gotta be something else

you want to try besides
robbing poker players.

Maybe.

Speaking of,

tell me what you got.

Down south a couple hours.

More guys but less money than last time.

A little more expensive, so it
needs to be get in, get out.

- When?
- A couple weeks.

I work tomorrow but me and Robby

are gonna try and scope it out Tuesday.

Thank you.

Allen, you got a minute?

Close the door.

Kate get you all set up?

Yeah, yeah she's comin' by
tomorrow for the first session.

- What do you think?
- She's nice.

Definitely your daughter.

She's as sweet and
gentle as they come but

she's still got some fire under
her belt like her old man.

I picked up on that and after what

she did, I know my dad respects her.

Really, what'd she do?

He was being an ass
about the whole thing.

She saw him playing with a poker chip

and challenged him to a heads-up game.

- Really?
- Yep, kicked his ass.

How long has your dad been playing?

He doesn't anymore, he
gave it up a long time ago.

Oh, I see.

What about you, how'd you get into it?

Well I was studying
Business at Mississippi State

and Tunica was just about
three hours down the road.

I used to go every chance I got.

I couldn't afford to go to Vegas

but that wasn't gonna let that stop me.

My dad used to play blackjack in Tunica.

He said it was the only place

to get a decent single deck game.

I've been caught at the tables
a few times at Sam's Town.

- How's the poker there?
- The poker rooms are great.

I mean they're really
good to the players too.

Vegas is great but Tunica,
that's a hidden slice of heaven.

Maybe one day I can check it out.

You play?

I want to play poker professionally.

It's always been a dream
of mine since I was a kid.

An unrealistic dream
but a dream nonetheless.

Why don't you just do it?

I don't,

it's complicated.

You doing anything tonight?

Wow.

Yes sir.

I know you said you played but

are you some sort of secret pro?

No, the table's not that nice.

I've always looked at poker as a hobby.

Being a family man and a businessman,

a steady income's always
been more important to me.

- It's still pretty cool.
- Yeah.

Course if it wasn't for poker,
I'd a never met my wife.

I suppose you heard what happened.

When I first started, one of
the cooks told me she passed.

Yeah.

Breast cancer.

It happened when Kate
was still pretty young.

I used to travel this great

country of ours playing in tournaments.

One year they had a World Series

event up here at one of the casinos.

I checked into the hotel, she
was working the front desk.

She was a stubborn girl, I had to put

all my country charm out there on her.

Best decision I ever made, movin' up here.

I tell ya I never thought
in a million years

I'd find a woman like
her in a place like this.

I miss her like hell every day.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

Look,

I don't know much about
your situation at home but

I think it's kind of admirable that you're

taking responsibility for your
father at such a young age.

He's always been a good father.

I feel like I owe it to him.

Yeah.

Oh.

This was my first trophy.

Won it in a heads-up game with

a few online pros from the area.

Wow.

You play any tournaments
or professional events?

I don't play as much as I'd like to.

Well listen, I run a game every

couple of weeks with some friends of mine.

If you'd like, I can ask them

if they'd mind if you joined us.

- You would do that?
- Of course I would.

I think your heart's in the right place.

- Just don't be late.
- I won't.

That'd be great.

He needs each of these three times a day.

He likes the vodka bottle
at room temperature,

- so don't put it in the fridge.
- Allen.

It's okay, I got this.

I'm running out for a bit but

call me if you need anything, okay?

- Will do.
- Hey,

take this G with you.

What's G?

It's this thing.

You'll figure it out.

What?

She kicked me in the damn eye.

I told her ass to watch that heel but nah,

trying to tell me it wasn't
her first time on stage.

Should've stuck with
the lap dances from Raven.

I know man, that girl
was freaky as shit.

Damn, Vegas clubs are crazy.

What are you doing with that?

I am making a few adjustments

so this thing can have more range.

We were a little close at that last game.

Definitely.

Hey, can I talk to you?

You trying to go to the club right now?

No dumb-ass, for real.

Did you know Tony's into poker?

Like Tony Tony, like our boss Tony?

Yeah.

I didn't think he had any other hobbies

besides hunting our asses
down at the timeclock.

Well apparently he's been
playing for a long time.

I guess he has some friends that are pros.

So what you saying?

I thought maybe they would see

something in me or could
help me get better.

I mean that's cool and all but

what you gonna say to Jackie or your dad?

Nothing probably,
they don't need to know.

- Yeah, good luck with that.
- What's that supposed to mean?

Jackie's kind of a bitch sometimes

when you leave her out of things.

Really dude?

I'm just looking out for you.

She sometimes leads you on to get you

to do things that she
wants, I don't like it.

I'm sorry but I'm definitely
down to stop doing these hits.

I can't keep doing this shit.

Why are you doing it then?

You gonna build one of these?

Hell no.

Look, don't let nothin'
get in your way bro.

All right, let's go check this place out.

- What the hell?
- What?

He called it off.

Well go, don't wait.

Son of a bitch.

What the hell was that?

Something wasn't right.

We shouldn't have gone there so fast.

Allen, you've had weeks
to make sure this was okay.

Jaqs, I don't know
what you want me to say.

I told you word spreads
fast with those guys.

They started talking about other

games that got hit and I panicked.

That's bullshit.

That last hit was like another state away.

I was doing fine just
robbing houses by myself.

This was your idea and now
you're bitching out on me?

Everyone has a part here.

You do a great job playing but it doesn't

matter how you play if we don't go in.

Grow a pair and find me
something worth getting into.

Sorry man.

Hey.

Hey.

Late night?

Yeah.

Is he sleeping?

Yeah, the medication can
make him a little drowsy.

- How's he doing?
- Stubborn mostly.

Yeah, that's Rich.

So I didn't get to tell you this on

my first visit but I just wanted to let

you know that I'm monitoring your dad's

blood pressure, it's a little high.

Should I be worried, or?

Well I'm making him
a follow-up appointment

just to be sure but
it's pretty typical for

somebody in his condition
and I just really

want to make sure that the complications

haven't caused more scarring or cirrhosis.

So,

my dad told me that he
showed you the garage.

Yeah, don't take this the wrong way but

I find it odd that you were raised by this

businessman and he plays
poker and you became a nurse.

Well, becoming, I'm not one yet.

- Right, sorry.
- No, it's fine.

I just always knew that I wanted to

help people ever since my mom got sick.

I got to be there for
her through everything

and there's a lot of
people who don't have that.

So I just wanted other people to know that

they don't have to be alone
through a time like that.

- I'm leaving.
- You are making a spectacle of yourself.

Who cares, there's
nobody here to see it.

Allen is upstairs.

Yeah, I try to do the same for my dad.

It's hard knowing if what I'm doing

helps with how he treats the situation.

I have to go see my other patients.

But I got your mail for you.

Thanks.

Allen.

Try not to beat yourself up
over things you can't control.

- Hello?
- Allen, Tony.

I got your number from the work schedule,

- I hope you don't mind.
- No no, that's fine.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

Look some buddies of mine decided

to get together and do
a poker game tonight.

I thought I'd call and see
if you wanted to join us.

I know it's a last minute decision,

so I understand if you can't make it.

Oh no no, definitely,
yeah I can make it.

I just need to stop home and change.

How much should I bring?

Always bring only what
you can afford to lose.

Okay.

All right, we're playing at my house.

So I'll see you later.

Did you rob a bank or something?

Where did you get all that?

I've been saving my tips.

Going out?

Did you take your pills?

I'm gonna go meet up with Robby.

Yeah?

You owe him some money?

Took my pills three times today
just like I was supposed to.

Good.

Kate took me to the doctor.

Says I got high blood pressure.

Yeah, I know.

I just wanted to tell
you what's going on.

I don't want to hide anything from you.

What are you trying to do,

are you trying to make me upset you?

I know what you're about to go do,

- so why don't you just say it?
- All right, fine.

I'm gonna go play cards
with my boss, happy?

He knows some pros and
I'm gonna go meet them.

Why would you want to go do that?

I don't know, because
I thought it'd be fun.

What?

I wanna be alone for a bit.

There are clean clothes on your bed.

Two.

Call.

Two pair.

Three of a kind.

Hey everyone, this is Allen,

the kid I've been telling you about.

This is Phil, Danielle and Maria.

Hey.

It's a $200 buy-in to start.

Nice to meet you all.

Tony said some of you
guys play online poker.

Those two do, I'm too
old for that nonsense.

I spend my time back and
forth between here and Vegas.

You can tell she's a bit old-fashioned.

What about you Allen, online or casino?

Well I don't really play either.

Online is a great place to
play a lot of hands cheaply.

It's also a good place to
learn how to play tournaments.

- Here we go.
- What?

Well Danielle here is
not into tournaments.

Cash games are just way
more profitable for me.

Just wait 'til the big game.

Big game?

I'll leave that one up to you, Tony.

Every few months we
try to get five or six

people together and play
what we call the Deep Stack.

$15,000 buy-in, winner take all.

Wow, how do you guys not
kill each other after losing?

Well poker is all about
leaving emotions at the door.

Plus it reminds us that even though

we're all friends, we're still opponents.

You have to be able to separate
the two on and off the felt.

When do you guys play?

A few weeks from now, right Tony?

Yeah, it'll probably be the
last one for awhile though.

When that baby gets here,

I'll be involved in grandfather duties.

Well I mean I'd definitely want to play.

Well why don't we play for a bit

and see what you bring to the game?

Okay Allen, we're
gonna play $1, $2 blinds.

And you're
the small blind, Allen.

Dammit, just a second.

- Hey Jackie.
- Hey.

- How you been doing, dear?
- I'm good.

I made some soup and had some leftovers.

- Thought I'd bring you some.
- Thank you.

It's been awhile since I
had a home cooked meal.

Is Allen working tonight?

Apparently he's
playing cards with his boss.

Wait, I thought he didn't play anymore?

He's been doing it behind my back.

Flush.

Almost a flush.

- See you guys next time.
- Get safe going home.

- It was nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you guys.

I was really impressed
by what I saw tonight.

But I would recommend next
time playing a bit tighter.

Big pairs, suited connectors.

Don't be afraid to be aggressive.

There were a lot of times tonight where

you could've had it if you
just wouldn't have waited.

That makes sense, I'll do
that, thanks for the advice.

Tony, as always it was great seeing you.

Good seeing you
Maria, be safe going home.

All right, see you guys.

- So how'd it feel?
- What?

- Playing with the big dogs.
- It was awesome.

- I'm really glad I came.
- Good.

So Maria mentioned how she
goes back and forth to Vegas.

Would that be a good
idea for someone like me?

I figure if I can get enough money to

play the Deep Stack, that
could give me a head start.

I would suggest you continue to work on

your game a bit before you do
either one of those things.

No you're right, I'm just excited.

There's nothing wrong with that.

You just keep playing, keep learning,

learning from your mistakes.

You know I see a lot of
gamblers around here.

You're different, I see you think

about your decisions
and what your moves are.

Just keep at it.

One of these days, I think
you'll be a good player.

I'll do that.

Come in.

Good morning.

- No Allen?
- Work.

- How you feeling?
- Peachy.

- What's going on?
- Nothing.

So,

we're still doing this, huh?

He lied to me, he's been lying to me.

He knows it upsets me when

he plays cards but he does it anyway.

Why are you so upset
that he's playing cards?

He's a smart guy, it's not like

he's going to gamble
away all of his money.

I used to play.

I taught him when he was really young

and after my wife left, I
went downhill pretty fast.

I drank a lot, I gambled a lot.

He watched me go through all
that nonsense his entire life

and I'm just afraid that it
could've rubbed off on him.

I know he can be the next big thing,

I knew that since he was young.

I just worry about him.

Especially what would happen if...

If what?

If my days were numbered.

Okay I know you're not very

optimistic about your situation right now.

But I know you can beat this.

It's hard to think so.

If you can't think that for

yourself, at least do it for him.

You're not so bad.

Want some C?

What's C?

Coffee.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Yeah, I'll take some decaf.

Good.

Because that's all you're gonna get.

Seriously I can't
believe that happened.

One of them goes back and forth to Vegas.

My cousin lives in
Vegas, what's the big deal?

Yeah try again.

You want me to come
out there and look at it?

No, I need to learn this.

- I told my dad.
- Yeah, and how'd he react?

- Not good.
- What about Jackie?

Yeah, try again.

You gotta come clean with her, man.

I know she's scary but
you just gotta do it.

Go straight Shia on her.

Right.

You can't let
her push you around.

I don't want you to throw something away

you love because you
won't stand up to her.

- It's not that easy.
- But why?

Because I'm terrified of her, man.

I'm scared of doing anything that

will make her stop talking to me.

We started planning these heists

and spending more time together
and well, it was great.

I liked that it gave us
a reason to hang out.

I like spending time with her.

I don't like what we're
doing but it makes her happy.

I like seeing it.

Bro, you'll literally do anything

to get outta the friend zone.

That's not funny.

Yeah, it is.

You just gotta do it, I mean

if she cares about you, she'll understand.

If not then you know, maybe
it's just time to move on.

I just don't know what to say.

Just be honest, you know?

I think she'll respect you
more for it in the end.

Try it now.

Let's get the hell outta here.

Yeah, I got work in the morning.

It would be pretty easy.

I've been playing poker most of my life

and a lot of the players we would hit

don't take the game
seriously enough to be good.

So as long as I don't do anything crazy,

I can be in there long enough
to not look suspicious.

It's pretty impressive

how much you've thought this through.

- I think we make a good team.
- Me too.

It's nice, us hanging out like this.

We're gonna have to do something

else to divert their attention from you.

What did you have in mind?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna hit you as hard as I can.

What? No.

Come on, it's gotta look real.

Dad.

Dad, what happened?

- Are you drunk again?
- No.

My stomach.

Okay, I'm calling an ambulance.

Quick get the
garbage, get that garbage.

Here, here, here.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Get it all out, all right?

Just get it all out.

We really need to get you to a hospital.

No, I just need a minute.

I can't, I can't live like this.

- Let's get you to the chair.
- No.

Don't touch me, don't touch me!

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I can't handle this.

Dammit.

Come on, let's go.

Allen.

Come in here, close the door and sit down.

Perhaps you don't recall but I remember

in vivid detail the last time
we had this conversation.

We agreed to my simple request
that you be here on time.

Do you not have any
respect for me whatsoever?

After I have given you multiple

opportunities and even
invited you to my home,

you missed the lunch rush on a Saturday.

I know, I'm sorry.

I don't want to hear "I'm
sorry," Allen, I'm tired of it.

Tony, it won't happen again.

Oh I know it won't, I'm letting you go.

What?

I've made the decision
Allen, you're done.

This is bullshit, you know how hard I...

Allen, it's done.

Good morning.

- How are things?
- Not great.

He had stomach pain the other night

and vomited into the trash can.

Yeah look,

I don't think I can afford
to keep you around anymore.

Is everything okay?

I'm guessing he didn't tell you

but your asshole father
fired me yesterday.

- That's not nice.
- Well he is.

I had to stay up all night
taking care of my dad

and I overslept, he didn't even
give me a chance to explain.

Look, I'm sorry that happened to you

but that gives you no
right to insult my father.

Forget it, all right?

Maybe you should just leave now.

- What?
- Sit down.

- I have things to do.
- Sit down.

I'm sorry you got fired because of me but

that girl does not deserve
to be talked to like that.

Really, you're gonna defend her?

Allen, you can't get angry

at other people for your problems.

Speak for yourself.

I'm sorry.

I'm just really pissed off right now.

No, I deserved that.

So how did poker go?

- What?
- With your boss, how'd it go?

It went good,

I played pretty good.

That's good.

Yeah,

but it doesn't matter.

I'm pretty sure I can't
play with them anymore.

Just give him some time,

maybe he'll ask you to come back in.

I was late a lot, dad.

Maybe it was just not for me.

My mind hasn't been right lately.

I see a lot of me in you.

Making small mistakes
leading into big ones.

You're a good kid Allen but

sometimes I'm afraid you're
gonna turn out just like me.

I'm sorry for the way I've been acting.

- Dad no, it's not a big deal.
- No, it is.

This disease has taken a bigger

toll on me mentally than physically.

I know it's affecting you too.

I know I'm not the easiest
person to deal with and I

do appreciate you doing your
best to try and handle it.

- Thanks.
- I'm proud of you, son.

You're a much better man than I ever was.

You've reached
Jaqs, leave a message.

Now please welcome to the floor...

Jackie.

Hey.

Why'd you leave so fast?

I just wanted to watch a movie.

- Is something wrong?
- I'm fine.

Look I mean I know you didn't win but

I thought you were really
incredible out there.

Thanks, that means a lot.

So, what are we watching?

I think I just want to
watch a movie by myself.

Are you sure there's nothing wrong?

Did you find another game for us?

No.

Not yet.

Are you sure about that?

What do you mean?

I stopped by your house a few night ago

and your dad said you were out
playing poker with your boss.

Were you gonna tell me about that?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

I liked playing with those guys,

they're really good players.

That's exactly what
we've been looking for.

No no, that's what
you've been looking for.

I wanted to do this for myself.

You need to stop being so selfish.

Everything that we're doing isn't going

to matter if we keep going at this rate.

How am I being selfish?

You're the one giving me
a hard time about this.

That's bullshit,

you know I've wanted a better game.

Even if I told you,
we wouldn't be ready.

This is a whole other kind
of player we're dealing with.

Apparently how good the
players are doesn't matter,

considering what happened last time.

We can't just keep jumping
into the deep end, Jackie.

We need to keep hitting smaller games,

building a flawless routine.

We need to gain their trust,
find their weaknesses.

The only reason we got away with the one

is because they were a bunch of jackasses

who didn't know what they were doing.

Our plan is flawless,
I think we're ready.

Why not just take a leap of faith?

Because...

- Because why?
- Because I can't, Jackie.

I already screwed it up.

I got fired and my boss doesn't
want anything to do with me.

Why didn't you just tell me that?

Because look what you're doing now.

You're mad at me because I
didn't tell you about a game.

I'm mad because you lied to me.

We're supposed to be honest with

each other and you were
hiding shit from me.

You know what, I can't be
honest with you sometimes.

What, what do you mean?

I'm honest with you, what do you mean?

I don't feel like you
care about what I want.

It's always about what you want.

Are you kidding me?

- This was your idea.
- I didn't do it for me.

What does that even mean?

- It doesn't matter.
- Of course it matters.

I care about what you want but apparently

I don't know what that is
anymore 'cause you won't tell me.

I don't want to rob poker games anymore.

If you want to potentially screw up

the rest of your life,
go right ahead okay?

But I actually care about poker.

I'm not just some criminal.

So that's what you think of me?

I'm just some petty criminal?

That's not, I didn't,
that's not what I meant.

You're an asshole.

Do whatever the fuck you
want, I don't need you.

What are you doing?

- Hey.
- What?

What's wrong?

Son, will you tell me what's wrong?

You want to know what's wrong?

Every time I want something I
have to feel like the bad guy!

- Come and sit...
- No!

I am tired of trying to
make everyone else happy.

When am I gonna get
anything out of this life?

I am 25 years old and I can't
hold a shitty job or tell

a girl how I really feel
because I'm too much of a loser.

Please come and sit down.

Allen, Allen, where are you going?

Come on, time to wake up.

Take your pills, okay?

Dad, come on.

Dad, wake up.

Dad?

Dad?

Come on dad wake up, dad?

Yeah I need an ambulance,
606 Fourth Street.

No no, it's my dad, he's not breathing.

No dad, dad come on, dad.

Dad.

Dad.

My dad used to work right over there.

He would come here on his breaks

just to get away from everything.

He brought me here a
lot when I was younger.

We would get ice cream and watch

the boats and jet skis on the lake.

It's been a long time since we came here.

But

this was my favorite place to be with him

and I know it was one of the
few places that made him happy.

Thank you, dad.

You were the best father
anyone could ask for.

So...

Hi.

Hey.

Come in.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

I wanted to offer my condolences.

Thanks.

How are you holding up?

About as good as I can be.

I see you're moving.

Yeah.

I can't really afford to
live here without a job,

so I'm staying with a friend
until I figure something out.

- I should go.
- Wait.

I was a total ass last time you were here.

- That's okay, you were angry.
- No.

No, it's not okay.

You didn't deserve that.

You did an amazing job
helping us out and I don't

want you to think I don't
appreciate everything you did.

I shouldn't have fired you.

- Sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.

No.

No, it's not.

I fought with him and I fired you and...

If I hadn't, he'd still be here.

No no no, it's not your fault.

I just

wish I did more.

- I could have done more.
- You did everything

- you could.
- It doesn't feel like it.

When my mom died, I was
angry at the world too.

Maybe if I'd done more or the doctors

had done this, she'd still be here.

But you can't be angry at
things you can't control.

Death is just one of those parts of life

where you can't predict how
and when it's gonna come.

I just don't know what to do now.

He was always, he was
always there to help me out.

When your dad and I would talk,

he would always talk about you.

He always knew that you were
going to be the next big thing.

I know he gave you a hard
time about playing cards but

if he were here right now, I know

he would tell you to not
give up on your passions.

Thank you.

You should go see my dad.

I know he'll want to see you.

Robby said living in Vegas
didn't seem so glamorous.

He did get kicked in the
eye with a stripper heel, so.

True.

But man, Vegas is just
like being anywhere else man,

you gotta hustle to survive but once

you make it down there,
it's smooth sailing.

I'm definitely think about it.

Yeah man if you need a place to stay,

you can crash at my crib, it'd be tight.

Thanks man, I'll be in touch.

All right, peace.

You want any tea?

No, I'm fine.

Look, I know you said you forgive me but

I still feel bad about what I said to you.

I'm sorry too.

You were right, though.

I feel like the only thing
that I've ever been good at

is taking shit from people and I was just

more concerned about me than
how it made you and Robby feel.

I know you love poker and so

if you're out, then I'm fine with it.

Thanks.

And you know, I think you're
good at a lot of things.

You're smart, you're ambitious as hell.

I mean look at the dance,
you didn't win but it

shows that if you want something,
you give it everything.

We wouldn't have gotten away with

that first heist if it wasn't for you.

Heist?

You make it sound like
we're robbing banks.

You know what I mean.

How are you feeling?

It's still hard not to blame myself but

better.

I did the same thing
when my parents died.

But it fades over time, you just gotta

do something to keep your mind off of it.

That reminds me.

I need to tell you something.

Okay.

I'm thinking
about moving to Vegas.

Oh.

When my dad died, I didn't
want to play poker anymore.

It just reminded me of him.

But I know that's not what he would want.

If I stay here,

I'm just gonna get another
shitty job, then give up.

I don't want that.

I think this may be the best thing for me.

I guess you should do it then.

I think I can do it.

But I need money to get there.

I've spent most of the money from

the first hit on the nurse for my dad.

Don't tell me you wanna do another hit?

There's a game coming up.

I still need to convince my old boss

to let me play but I need your help.

So what are you asking?

It's a 15 grand buy-in.

- That's a lot of money.
- Yeah, it is.

But if you do, then we can
split the profits which...

I'll do it.

- I didn't say how much.
- It doesn't matter.

Are you sure?

I believe in you.

I don't have all of it but

the little bit I do have
came from the hits anyway.

- Thanks.
- Of course.

So how are you gonna get the rest?

Hell no, why the hell y'all

comin' to me with such a crazy ass idea?

It's not the entire
thing, only part of it.

Why the hell you think I
got enough money to cover it?

The payout is 20 grand
each, plus what you put in.

So,

are you in?

Yeah, I'm in.

Be nice.

- Hey Allen.
- Hey.

Can I talk to you?

I'll see you inside, sweetheart.

Kind of odd you sitting on my front steps.

Yeah, I've been here awhile.

I'm sorry to hear about your father.

I know how much he meant to you.

But if you're here to
ask for your job back,

I've already filled that position.

- I'm not interested in that.
- Then what do you want?

I want to play the Deep Stack.

We've already got five players,

one of the others called
a friend from out of town.

I know I kept using my home situation

as an excuse to be a shitty worker.

Some days it was true,
some days it wasn't.

I'm sorry I took advantage of you.

But that's not who I am and
I want to show you that.

Well like I said, we're full up.

The day I met your daughter, she told me

that a real poker player
never turns down a good bet.

That's an extra 15 grand on the table.

We're playing here Saturday night.

I'm waiting for Maria
to give me a start time.

I'll pass that along when
I get it and don't be late.

I won't.

- Hey guys.
- Hey there.

Glad you could make it, Allen.

Me too.

We're just waiting for one other person.

Speaking of, he should
be here any moment.

I'll be right back.

He says he's feeling good.

- I don't know about this.
- Calm your ass.

I got a lot of money riding on this.

So do I.

Allen says to stop being a little B.

Okay, Rich.

Allen, would you join
me over here for a second?

I feel really bad about how our

conversation went the other night.

I was a little insensitive about
the passing of your father.

So I wanted to offer a sincere

apology and my condolences on your loss.

I appreciate that, Tony.

But I'm not gonna feel
bad about taking your money.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

- Hey everyone, this is Chris.
- Hey, how's a going?

- I need to use the bathroom.
- It's down the hallway.

Hey, something's wrong.

Take a seat.

Chris this is Tony,
Phil, Danielle, Allen.

Let's get started,
show me the money people.

Okay, first
ace will be the dealer.

What did he say?

He says there's a guy
there from our first hit.

- He keeps looking at him.
- So what now?

- We should go over there.
- What?

We don't know if he's dangerous or not.

Well we can't just go
over there and expose him.

Well we can't just sit here.

Let's go.

I will deal the cards as usual.

Don't mind him, he does this

with anybody he hasn't played with before.

All right everyone, here's the rules.

Everybody gets $15,000 in chips.

White chips are 100,
black 500, green 1,000.

We're playing $100, $200 blinds,

each blind level is one hour.

This is No Limit Texas Hold 'Em,

so you can go all-in at any moment.

We play until the last
player remains, $90,000.

Winner

takes all.

Final call.

That's round one.

All right guys, let's finish

this hand and then break for a few.

I'm all in.

I call.

- That turn really screwed me.
- You've still got four outs.

The nine or the King could come up.

Sure.

- It was a nice hand.
- Thank you.

I thought that straight
flush would scare you off.

It was a tough decision but
I didn't think you had it.

Thank you, Tony.

It was nice playing with you guys.

- Tony, next time.
- Be careful going home.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Let's take 10.

I'm going for a smoke.

What's happening?

He says he's getting low,

so he might have to make a move real soon.

- Shit, put your phone away.
- What?

Hey man, good playing.

You had me on a few of
those hands back there.

Thanks.

You remember me, right?

I don't think so.

Allen?

A couple months ago we were
both at a high stakes game.

There was probably around
10 grand on the table.

The next thing you know
a couple of assholes

in ski masks bursts in and
takes everybody's cash.

I thought you had something to do with it.

But then you pulled out those Jacks.

Smart move.

$90,000.

That's a good haul.

What are you saying, Chris?

I had nothing to do with that.

Maybe you did and maybe you didn't.

But I'm curious to know what's gonna

happen when you push
the rest of those chips.

Hey that's not necessary,
put that gun away.

I don't like making
the same mistakes twice.

What are we gonna do?

We gotta go in there.

- We can't go in there now.
- What, why not?

Did you not
just hear what he said?

If we go in there, he's gonna kill Allen.

Allen, please tell me you
had nothing to do with that.

I didn't and I came here
to win just like all of you.

I find that hard to believe.

The night we got robbed, I had seen

something strange in
one of the cars outside

and that same car is out there now.

Jackie, we have
to get outta here now.

I don't know anything about a car

and I have nothing to hide.

I came here to prove that I'm
a good player, win or lose.

So prove it.

If you lose,

you lose.

Let's get this going,
start the clock Maria.

Raise to eight.

I raise 16.

Call.

2,000.

I'm all in.

Call.

Well I guess you guys
better flip over your cards.

You got a two-outer
Chris, you need a nine.

Good hand.

Thanks for inviting me, Tony.

That's a bad beat.

Allen.

I'm sorry about what happened in there,

- what Chris said to you.
- That's poker.

It could be over in an instant.

No, I mean what he
accused you of and all.

He's right, I was there.

You were?

Yeah.

I did rob that game.

I didn't have enough faith in my skills,

so I thought it'd be easy to
take it instead of earn it.

Were you going to rob us tonight?

No, it was a stupid
thing I got away with once.

I really wanted to show you
what kinda player I am tonight.

I'm a huge idiot for even
trying it the one time

but after what I've done
and what happened in there,

I don't feel like I even
deserve to play anymore.

This is a lot to take in, son.

I know.

I just don't want you to think less of me.

You've been a great friend,
I'd hate for you to think that.

Well you're young, young
people make mistakes.

But I hope you know this
mistake almost got you killed.

I know.

I really wish I could take it back.

But I can't change what I did.

Allen, you've got talent and you've got

the passion to use it
and that's what makes

the difference between those
who do and those who don't.

I know that now.

Are you gonna tell him what I did?

You know I should.

But I'd rather never hear of this again.

Thank you, Tony.

And now that you're out,
I've got some money to win.

I'm sorry, guys.

I need to tell you something.

I know what you're gonna say.

- Jackie, I just need to...
- Allen, I know you love me.

I love you too.

I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

I guess I just didn't want to believe it

and I thought that I would
screw it up and lose you.

It's my fault that I dragged you into this

and made you feel like you
didn't have a choice but

you could have died in
there and the thought

that I would never see
you again frightened me

and I don't want to feel like that again.

So I don't need those robberies
or all that money, I need

you and I'm sorry it took me
so long to figure that out.

So, do I get a kiss too?

I'm glad you're okay, man.

So,

you lost all of our money.

That we stole.

Right, that we stole and we
ain't gonna be stealing again.

So, now what are we gonna do?

- You get everything out?
- Yeah.

Most of it's in a storage unit.

I'll be back to get that soon.

You good?

Yeah, I just wanted
to see it one last time.

Thanks for always having my back.

I don't know what I would do without you.

Man, you know we boys for life.

You know, besties besties,
better than all the resties.

- You're ridiculous.
- Ah, you love it.

You gotta come see me though.

Of course I'm going to Vegas.

Not just for the strippers.

Well damn, I might have
to change my mind now.

But seriously, you know I
gave you a hard time about

Jackie but I think you two
have something special.

Y'all got one of the most F'ed up

relationships I've ever seen but

I hope I can have that
one day with someone.

Thanks man.

You sure about this?

Yeah I mean you know, it's the least

I can do after losing all your money.

Yes!

Are you ready?

Yeah I mean, just thinking about

how this is possibly the worst idea ever.

Oh it definitely is, I mean who in their

right mind would move across
the country with no money?

Especially somewhere
like Vegas, are we insane?

Yeah we're pretty dumb, not gonna lie.

There are a million other
ideas better than this.

Suitcases already in the trunk?

- Yep.
- Yeah, I don't wanna unpack.

We're too far now to go back, so.

Way too far.

All right kid,
show me your bluff.

I got the straight.

Wow buddy, you really had me that time.

You're pretty good at this now.
