Endgame (2011): Season 1, Episode 2 - Turkish Hold'em - full transcript

When Balagan learns that the hotel's head of security, Hugo Lum, was robbed at gunpoint during his secret high-stakes poker game, he sees an opportunity to earn a finder's fee. Wary of the crafty Russian, Hugo agrees to Balagan's terms but that means putting up with the chess master's arrogance. Balagan deduces the robber was a former hotel employee and follows his trail to the money, but was he working alone, or did the thief have a partner? With all the poker players accusing each other, Balagan uses their greed against them to get the money into the hands of a more deserving party. Balagan divides his attention between the robbery and new evidence in Rosemary's murder case that suggests he might have been the intended target in the shooting.

I'm folding
like a cheap umbrella.

Who uses umbrellas?

I do.

Gotta stop the pain some time.

$2,000?
2,000 too many. I'm out.

I'm in.

Okay, Lilly, let's see
what you're hiding.

You mean my beautiful pair?

I love you guys.

I really thought
you were bluffing.

I am an actor.



Lilly, we've seen your movies.

And I'd read
your novels, but...

you're illiterate?

I'm taking a break.

All right, all right,

lines in.

Hello!

Pippa...

Hey.

Champagne?

Uh, it's 8:00 in the morning.

Oh.

Oops.

I've been up all night.



I'm in the middle of
some games here,

for money.

Okay, so, what's your news?

I watched the tape
of Rosemary's murder.

It's about time.
What do you think?

Watch.

I've seen it.

No.

No, look.

That's him.
That's the witness.

Uh-huh.

He dies two days later
in a fire.

Someone was trying to shut him up?
What did he see?

No, Pippa, look again.
Look, he lights a cigarette,

then gets in the car
to drive off.

He never smoked it.

So he's not a witness,
he's a spotter.

It's classic KGB.

The spotter knows the target,

the killer doesn't.

They meet on the battlefield
for the first time.

So he's... signaling?

Yes, the spotter,

he waits in the car
till I come out.

He lights a cigarette, that's the signal...
he thought I was in the car.

They were trying to kill you,
not my sister?

The Russians thought
that Rosemary's friend was me.

I was the target.

Russians?

Putin.

Vladimir Putin
trying to kill you?

Really?

Well, presumably
not personally,

but with him, you never know.

I gave a fortune

to the pro-democracy
movement.

It's payback.

You!
Up against the wall!

Okay, okay...

okay, just relax...

just relax...

against the wall!

Hands in the air!

Stay against the wall!

Keep your hands in the air!

Next one's yours.

No one leaves!

You're security!
Where were you?

What the hell was that?

What are you doing?

I'm protecting you from Putin.

Pippa...

My game was robbed.

Gurjit, check
the elevator cams.

Boss...

Someone reported gunshots.

Yeah, I know. I'm looking
for a male, skinny,

black bag, bleeding.

What do you see?

Buddhist monks,

couple making out.

Got him.

He's in elevator three,

pulling off a mask.

He's wearing a ball cap.

Um... shut it down.

Alert the front desk.

He's got an override key.

Should I call the cops?

No, no, uh,

just have greenspoon
waiting for him

in case he gets out
the main floor.

Uh, we have a situation.

Go back inside.

We heard shots.

Kids with firecrackers.

That explains your gun.

Where are you going?

I'm a journalist...

a blogger.

A documentary filmmaker,
and I'm curious.

Boss, he went out
through storage.

Tell Wyman to go outside

and cut him off
at the west doors.

Copy.

Look, Hugo, blood!

Why are you here?

I thought you were a paranoid
schizo-nut or something.

Your intruder is long gone.

So, this guy has a key
to every door?

He works here, Hugo, or did...

would you shut up?

Oh, now you show up!

Where the hell were you...

Um, so, what happened?

What did this guy do?

Nothing.

He robbed the poker game.

The hotel doesn't want
another shooting,

and if it gets out,

Hugo's game will be ruined.

I make more in one night
running that game

than I do working
a week in this dump.

And if the police
recover the money,

it is forfeited

because it is part of
an illegal activity.

So you have to find it
yourself, right?

I can help.

Hey, you got lucky
on one case, chessboy.

I don't need your help.

Right, you're a former
homicide detective,

why would you need help?

But if I find the money,
I get 10%.

Oh, I'm gonna pay you 10%?

No, I'll keep 10%.

But what do you care?
You'll find the money.

You'd better believe it.

It's just insurance
in case you don't find it...

which you will...

but if you had fire insurance

and you only had to pay
if you had a fire,

you'd agree.

I don't even know
what you're yapping about.

My 20%.

20? I thought
you said it was 10.

It was, but you were too slow.

Compromise. 15.

Fine, whatever.

How much was stolen?

A hundred grand.

You overpaid.

I'd have taken half.

Have a nice day!

Okay, so, how did you know

there was a card game?

It's been going on
for 40 years.

Danni told me.

The bartender.

This place is worse than a
Ukrainian quilting bee.

Separated, laundered,
cold water...

excuse me.

Hung, not dried,

pressed, and no scents.

Mr. Balagan,

there are plastic laundry bags
in your suite.

I'm trying to save
the environment.

About your overdue account...

I am working on something,

and will soon have
more than enough

to settle my account.

Does this something
have to do with Hugo?

His chances
are next to nothing,

and mine are next to his, so...

Well, I've managed
to keep it from the media,

but those poker players
have big mouths,

and this could get out.

If you can
get them their money,

I'll wipe out your debt.

And the next two months free?

Two weeks.

Agreed,

if Hugo helps me.

Better the monkey in your pocket

than the one underfoot, right?

And free meals for two weeks.

But the bar tab's yours.

Awesome.

Mr. Balagan!

I got your text.

I'm dying for a game.

Aren't there showers
where you live?

No, a sink.

But you said come right away.

I was at ultimate practice...

yes, I have a problem.
I think you can help.

Chess?

Unfortunately not.
Life.

Let's see what Hugo's up to.

Standing around,

I guess the crime
is solved, yeah?

I guess not.

What did the police say?

We got lucky.

The cops are busy with
a triple shooting in Gastown.

So, for now, this one
goes under the radar.

What have you ascertained?

Think I'm going to
share my intel?

No, your boss, Barbara, does.

Call her if you like.

Okay, well two heads
are better than one, right?

We're tracking
the intruder's path.

So show me.

Show him.

Main floor hallway,

elevator three...

Going up.

And...
Four minutes later,

descending.

Okay, freeze right there.

That's the best we have.

And what about going out
the door in the basement?

Nice shot
of the back of his hat.

So, he knows where all the
cameras are. He had keys,

but he is not an employee?

Nope.

Well, he was,
or he has an insider.

Do you have any tape
of him entering the hotel?

Yeah, we have cameras
at each entrance.

Lobby, staff, and parking.

Went through six hours
before the robbery,

this guy is not on
any of the tapes.

Show me the best five minutes.

The crazier the better.

Hours and hours of people coming and going
and you want to see five minutes of fun?

Yes,

and get me
your old employee files.

See you tomorrow!

Hi, papa.

Here you go.

Mr. B...

Wake up.

Good morning.

Not so far.

Okay, the highlight reel.

Buddhist monks...

What else?

Homeless dude...

There, right there.

The robber.

No way.

It's him.

I don't see it.

Sam?

Doesn't look like the same guy.

Sometimes a pawn
becomes a queen.

Where is he?

Who said anything about a he?

Good morning.

Lovely day.

Mm, nice perfume.

I really had to go.

Evidence for Hugo.

Where's Hugo?

On his way.

Gurjit...

The KGB spotter who was
outside the hotel

the night my fiancee
was murdered, what can...

"KGB spotter"?

You were on duty that night

at the door.

Can you explain to me

why you let him sit there
for hours?

You mean the musician?

He wanted to give his cd
to a Hollywood music producer

who was staying here.

Who?

DJ... A.J..

Can you maybe check
the hotel records

and find a contact?

Because I need to talk to
this Mr. A.J..

I can't do that.

You can't do that?

You sure?

It's okay, Hugo can.

Okay, there's no DJ.

The guy was driving
for a hooker.

He slipped me a 50,
so I let him park.

I give the doorman half.

And this hooker,
does she have a name?

Don't know it.

Believe me, I tried.

Vietnamese, gorgeous.
She won't talk to me.

Kinda stuck up.

Okay, Gurjit, showtime.

Let's go, move it.

You all know
our illustrious guest,

Mr. balagan, the man
who wouldn't depart.

Now, do we recognize this guy?

No, sorry.

All right.

It's not a crime
to put a criminal in jail.

Do you want to tell Alcina?

How you know I know?

You're not breathing.

I... think he was
with security,

maybe...

Three years before.

Joe?

Joe Gazlan.

Hugo?

Before my time.

He was aggressive
with the girls.

Not nice.

He had beard.

Handsome...

Yeah, here he is.

He quit.

He was being investigated

for theft.

Thank you, Zofia.

And you,

you're my good luck charm.

I need your help on this.

I have a job, Mr. Balagan.

Then come by after your shift,

and... catch up.

No time.

I have six children
and no husband.

Alcina, you don't need a chat.

You need vodka.

Please.

Ah, Sam!

Hey...

Finally. How was
your class?

Actually, it was really...

I need you to find this man,
Joe gazlan.

I've got a poker player
to meet,

and then we'll play some chess.

I've been playing poker
in this hotel since '64.

In those days,
we had real stars.

Don Rickles, Michael Landon,

Shari Lewis...

Not like this, uh,

Lilly what's-her-mouth.

You must be Jewish,
Mr. Balaban.

It's bala gan.

Ah.

One quarter.

My mother's mother.

Ah, but that's
the right quarter...

let's get back to
the poker game.

What did you see?

You have to remind me
I just had 20 grand stolen?

I'll tell you what I saw...

that schmuck burst into the room

when Hugo was in the can
with his pants down.

How was that coordinated, eh?

That actress, Lilly,

she put her hand in her purse

the moment
Hugo ran into the can.

She sent a signal.

One of them, uh, texts.

She's rich.

Why would she steal?

So that actress in 702,

Lilly Palmara,

she is doing coke, and...

She's getting it from
the Argentinean waiter.

Nicco?

Yeah, but he thinks
that he is going to L.A.

To party with her,

so he's giving it to her
for free.

You were at
the poker game that night.

Did you see anything?

Anyone signal
when Hugo stepped out?

Some kind of inside man?

Mm.

Not that I saw.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, um...

I'm wondering,

is there any way
that you can magically

make my bar tab
turn into, uh, food?

Here's your salad.

Thank you.

Oh, there's
one more thing, Danni.

I need a call girl.

No, you don't.

Well, unfortunately, I do.

She was working here

the day my fiancee
was murdered.

Vietnamese...

I know her.

You think you could
hire her to talk to me?

She'll do it for free. We're colleagues in
the "hospitality and tourism industry."

Are you looking for...

ah, here's my date!

Danni, can we have
another vodka?

Mr. Balagan...

Hello, Danni.

Hello.

I will get in trouble
for drinking with a guest.

No, Danni here
is very discreet.

Have a seat.

So first we drink it all,

and then you have a pickle,

but first a toast,
to my Alcina.

Alcina!

I don't know what smells worse,
the vodka or the pickles.

Mr. Balagan,

it's no good
you living like this,

drinking too much,

afraid to go outside.

You need to return to life

instead of distracting yourself

with solving cases.

Puzzles is what I do,
it's all I can do.

My husband was murdered, too.

How?

It was Guatemala.

So how did you return to life?

My children.

Well, that's my problem.

I have no one
to take care of, so...

you have yourself, and
believe me, you are a child.

Sammy.

Hey.

So, this is amazing.

The only Joe Gazlan
in the area is 92.

He used to be a cabbie,
but, um...

He's been letting
this guy use his ID

and pretend to be him

so you are looking for
an illegal immigrant.

You know about this?

Have you ever been
outside of university?

Yeah, high school.

So anyhow,

this guy was supposed to
pay the real Joe Gazlan

$100 a month for life,

but then two years ago,

he stopped. It disappeared.

So, what was his real name?

Gazlan forgot,

he's ancient.

Oh, surprise!

So, you come here with nothing,

and you expect a game?

See, this is why
we need you, Alcina

oh, Mr. Balagan...

Sam and I cannot do this alone.

I need you to talk to
the Polish maid,

and tell her, this time,
I want the whole story.

I'll do that, but nothing else.

Maybe.

Ah, my next poker player.

Virtually all my novels
have a crime at the core,

so I have quite some
mastery of the subject.

Someone was in on it.

We were set up.

Who?

When the secitity bloke
went to the bathroom,

the old guy touched
his hearing aid.

Thus sending a signal?

So, you're on a book tour?

From rainy coast
to rainy coast.

You kn m my friend,
Salman Rushdie

ah, yes, we play chess.

Mm.

I'll try to get a word in...

I beat him all the time.

I played chess competitively
at Oxford.

But it ...

began to feel

as if I was hiding away
from human affairs.

Well, some people
boldly go into the world

to create art, to play sports,

to do science, even warfare.

But if you want to do all four,
you...

Play chess.

Morning, Mr. Balagan.

Wall street journal?

New York times?

Globe and Mail?

So you don't like
North America, Mr. Balagan,

how about South America?

Just these.
Charge them to my suite.

Looks like you got a stalker.

Ah, you spoke to Alcina.

Co pani ma mnie do powiedzenia?

You speak Polish like
a Russian.

I was... friends with Joe.

You went to his place?

Never,

but once I went
to his cousin's.

His cousin?

I don't remember his name,

but he lives in that
public housing on grandview.

Any other details?

He was married.

He had children.

He was Turkish,

and he was nice.

Thank you, Zofia.

Sam!

Yes, it is morning.

I need you to go
on a little field trip.

Hi. Is, uh,
is your father home?

No.

Your mother?

Yeah.

Mom!

Who are you?

What you doing here?

I'm sorry. He let me in.

I-I knocked. Um...

I'm looking for this man.

I don't know him.

He's your husband's cousin?

No.

Okay, well...

I think you should look again
because I think

you do know who he is.

He's your husband's cousin.

He used to work at
the hotel, the Huxley?

Oh, Yashar.

I-I see, yes.

Yes. Yes, Yashar.

Where is Yashar?

It's very urgent.

My husband, Suleyman,
is at work. Ask him.

He will be home later.

Um, uh...
Yashar's last name?

Suleyman, he knows.

Do you have any idea
what hospital Yashar's at...

you must go!

Does your husband have a cell...

go! Go!

O-okay, I'll go,
just, um, please,

if you can get
Suleyman call Sam?

It's urgent.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Go!

Thank you.

Chi Tang?

Yeah.

Oh, you must be
Mr. Balagan.

Are you playing poker
right now?

I'm testing a beta app.

I play online 70 hours a week.

Strictly by game theory.

I play chess online.

Do you mind me asking...
How much?

About 300 k last year.

It's tax-free.

You know, it was my first time

playing in a room
with real people.

Too distracting.

That Lilly, she's so hot.

Did you see her
in Extreme Death III?

No. Did you notice
anything else?

Yeah, yeah.

When I got to the hotel,
a car passed with two guys.

I realized later that the driver
was that lawyer.

Mr. Harlington.

Yeah.

Who was the other man?

Is this him?

After the game,
Jeff took a cab home.

I know 'cause
I copped a ride with him.

So who drove his car home?

- Are you spying?
- Me? No.

She's here, looking for you.
The Vietnamese chick, I'll show you.

See if you can get me
her number, huh?

Hello.

Arkady Balagan.

Trinh.

Thank you for coming.

Thank Danni.

I need to know
what you remember

about the day my fiancee died.

Of course.

My driver was injured.

I heard the gunshots.

Tell me about him,

your driver.

He didn't say much,

he didn't bother me for tips.

He only drove me a week,

and then he died in that fire.

Before you,
he drove other women?

No, he was new.

Was he Russian?

He didn't sound Russian.

Did he drink?

Did you-did you ever
see him do drugs?

Did he smell of cigarettes?

No, he didn't smoke.

He smoked the day
Rosemary was murdered.

It was a signal.

Who was your client?

They just give first names,

and they're usually fake, so...

You did not have a client.

You sat in the hotel.

No one came.

My friends who work here

say that you splurge
on room service.

It's your way
to pay back the hotel,

but that day,
the only thing you ordered

was "eat, pray, love."

Now, what man
in your company would...

My date didn't show up.

What did your bosses tell you?

Never to talk
to anyone about it.

But you're talking to me.

They're cruel men.

I want to get out of
my situation.

Help me and I'll help you.

What are we talking about?

25,000.

Then I can disappear.

I can tell you
very interesting things

about the driver,

my bosses,

but money first.

I'll have the money tomorrow,

but I expect the information
to be worth it, please...

Okay, that novelist,

he sat so he could
face the door.

The old guy was tense.

Chi, our supposed math genius,

mind elsewhere.

Lilly was flirting,
distracting everyone...

so, what are you saying,
everyone was in on it?

Everyone but you?

Mr. Balagan,
I do criminal law.

I'm helping you
to frame the question.

By framing everyone
but yourself.

Why would a chess player

investigate a robbery?

The finder's fee.

Or do you miss
the thrill of victory?

Is that clouding
your judgment at all?

Emotions never enter
into my play.

Yes!

Mr. Balagan.

I spoke to Sam Besht.

My name is Suleyman Sevda.

Mr. Sevda,
please, come in.

Mr. Harlington
is just departing.

You drove to the hotel
for the poker game,

but you came home in a cab.

Why?

After the robbery,
my nerves were frayed.

I had a little too much
to drink, so I left my car.

Why?

Well, was there anyone else
in the car with you

when you arrived?

My son.

I gave him a ride downtown.

I was assured

that we'd be getting
all of our money back.

If this is your approach,

I'll be suing the hotel.

Well, make it a class action,

and I'll join.

You order room service,
you have to wait an hour,

sometimes for the wrong food.

Please, come in.

I wasn't expecting you.

Can I get you anything?
Make some tea?

No. No, thank you...

some food?
Would you like... no?

No, no, no.

Nothing.

Please have a seat.

Oh, sorry for my clothes, I...

it's fine, fine...

I just come from work.

Mm-hmm.

So, Sam tells me
you have many children.

Oh, yes.

Five.

Five children.

Ages seven to 12.

Three boys and two girls.

Here.

In school, they learn
English and the French.

Turkish at home.

You are a lucky man.

So, what can you tell me
about Yashar?

Distant cousin.

He calls when he wants a favour,

but otherwise, nothing.

So, when was
the last time he called?

I call him maybe
half a year ago.

But his phone is disconnected.

Then I hear
he got a girl pregnant

and then leave, to Turkey.

Who might still be
in touch with him?

Friends? Girlfriends?

His name? What's his...

like mine.

Sevda.

Sevda...

And you're sure he wasn't
in your apartment

the other day?

No.

I see.

Well, I appreciate your help.

Oh.

I am curious why you came.

I-I call-
called Sam.

He-he said it was
very important.

So?

And I wanted to meet famous...

Chess player,

and maybe get

autograph?

You play!

Amateur.

There you are.

Please call me

if you have anything.

Thank you.

Mr. Balagan,

what did my cousin Yashar do?

Is he in trouble?

No, you didn't
ask me that, Suleyman.

Mr. Balagan,

Sam says
Yashar is in the hospital.

Why?

You didn't ask that either.

You came to find out
what I know...

Suleyman, help me.

How?

You need to go to hospital.

No.

I know a doctor
who will fix me.

Drive me, please.

I told you, I don't want
any trouble, okay?

The doctor will fix me up.

For 10,000,

he won't report it to the cops.

I'll keep the rest
and you'll never find me.

Suleyman, help me.

How? You need to go
to hospital.

Why get rid of the body?

I could just call police
and say,

"my cousin was shot
by jealous husband.

Before I could persuade him
to go to hospital,

he died."

But they would ask you
about the money.

What money?

Suleyman, help me.

How?

You need to go to the hospital.

No!

Find a doctor who will fix me.

I don't know any doctor.

For the sake of your children.

Hello?

Ah, Ms. Lilly Palmara,

finally returning my call.

When that security idiot
jumped the robber,

I tried to get up,

but that little perv
held me back.

Which little perv?
There are so many.

Chi.

Chi?

Yeah.

What were you going to do?

Muay thai.

That thief would've
left that room on a gurney

or in a box.

Well, maybe Chi just
didn't want you to get hurt.

I was up 40,000.
That hurt.

Do you have to pay
the hotel extra

for the elliptical?

No, it's mine.
I travel with it.

The hotel
comped me the spa, though,

'cause of the robbery.

Do they also comp you
your cocaine?

I want that poker money back.

I need it.

I'm saving for when my tits sag.

Okay, so...

Y-Yashar went to see him...

the kid had his mask,

Yashar might have died,

but Suleyman killing him?

I don't see it.

I don't...

He didn't sound like a murderer

on the phone.

So Suleyman waited
until he died,

or maybe he didn't have to.

Either way, it works.

It just doesn't
sound right to me.

Alcina?

I agree with Sammy.

Yashar came to Suleyman,
not the other way around,

but why wouldn't Suleyman
call an ambulance?

Yeah, Suleyman is a family guy.

I saw the 55 pictures
of the children

on the turkish carpet.

He made a big deal
of showing them, and why?

Because he's proving
that he is a family guy

and not someone who would
let his cousin bleed to death

because that is what he did.

What?

What carpet?

In the apartment.

The children
were on a Milas carpet.

Red and yellow.

No carpet in the apartment.

He killed Yashar,

he wrapped him in the carpet,

he drove to the dump,
he dumped the body,

he ditched Yashar's car.

Fini.

The dump is too obvious.

Suleyman is a garbage man.

Yes, but no one's
going to wonder

what he's doing at the dump,

and where else is he going to
go and dump a body?

And where else are we
going to go look for one?

As they used to say
in the Kremlin,

"a bad plan is better
than no plan at all."

So...

How do you look for a body
in a dump?

Oh, God, the smell...

Yeah, believe me,
this dog smells worse.

Come on, Rudy,

we been here for an hour,

and we ain't getting paid
by the hour.

Find me something!

Come on.

Come on, Rudy, we need
a carpet, not a trunk.

No...

It may not be your body,

but it's somebody!

It's locked. We should go find
the carpet somewhere else.

Here, here. I'll show you a trick
my grandma taught me.

Okay, let's see what we got.

We are close
to solving the robbery.

Terrific...

Are you cold?

No, hot.

I don't have all day.

Are you crazy?

Bringing a body
through the hotel?

Tampering with evidence?

We're stopping a crime.

Someone hid a body,
and we found it,

and he shot himself
accidentally...

unless you shot him.

If his cousin finished him off,

we're in deep
for moving a murder victim!

It's no murder. No.

I thought you said
it was murder...

either way, this is
disrespecting a dead soul.

We are using the body
as leverage on Suleyman

to get the stolen money,
right, Hugo?

And we'll make things
respectable later.

Alcina, please.

Sam...

Sam.

Okay...

Just the wound
from his own gun.

He killed himself.

Wait...

He did see a doctor.

His cousin was very nice.

Then I hear he got
a girl pregnant

and ran away to Turkey.

He helped you, didn't he?

She had an abortion.

Who?

The maid, Zofia.

Three years ago,

Yashar got her pregnant

and took her to a doctor.

Zofia volunteered it,
so did the doctor.

What doctor?

Suleyman, help me.

I will take you to a hospital.

Operate.
Remove the bullet.

I'm not a doctor
in this country.

I have no equipment.

If you can do an abortion,
you can do this. Operate!

I have nothing for sedation.

Do it!

Sam, Suleyman's number.

Suleyman...

It's Arkady Balagan.

I'd love for you
to come to the Huxley

to play some chess.

I...

I have to go to work.

We found Yashar,

in a trunk.

The trunk was in the dump,

where you work...

Doctor.

Dziekuje.

Now, what have you got
to say for your little selves?

She reached into her purse

the moment
he went into the can.

He was touching
his hearing aid.

He was nervous.

She was flirting with everybody,
and he insisted he face the door.

He held me down,

otherwise that robber
would be meat.

He was driving with the thief!

Shh!

People crave a conspiracy

for the same reason
they crave a God.

They want big answers

to their little problems,

but the truth is,

it took just one man
to take all your money.

Grandmaster... the door?

It might be Suleyman.

You want to talk to him.

Sir, should I get the door?

Stay there.

Stay there...

Who is it?

Suleyman Sevda.

Ah...

Mr. Sevda, please.

My wife is at work.
The children will play in the hall.

No! Come in,
come in.

Children, there's my bedroom.

Uh, there are chessboards.

Or my bed...

do whatever it is that you do.

Children...

Behave yourselves.

Sen patronsun, hmm?

Zofia...

You are Saint.

Saint.

Thank you.

The Polish...

So it is true
that you helped Zofia?

I met her when she first came
to this country.

No health care yet.

I was three-minute
blitz champion

in medical school.

Then have a seat.

I know you operated on Yashar.

He wouldn't let me use
anything for sedation.

He was afraid
I would call police

if he was unconscious.

What did he tell you?

He was shot
by jealous boyfriend,

he didn't want to go
to hospital,

boyfriend was still
chasing him.

Did you want to know the truth?

The truth is, the bullet severed
his hepatic artery.

He needed blood.

After finishing
his epidural stitches,

he had an acute
myocardial infarction.

Did he fear sedation

because he thought
you would steal the money?

What money?

The money he stole

that you will return,

or I call the police.

In Turkey,
I was like this bishop,

helping people.

Here, I am like pawn.

Someone who takes out
your garbage.

A pawn cost me
the world championship.

I respect pawns.

If I had money,

I could go to school here
and become doctor.

Who would be harmed?

Those that yashar stole from.

They are rich,

the money was
for entertainment.

So they lost it
in an interesting way?

All the more entertaining.

They didn't find it
entertaining...

mr Balagan, do you play
games of cards?

Dice?

No, of course not.

Only chess has
level playing field.

That's all I ask for.

That and $100,000.

I need the money, too,
to solve my fiancee's murder.

So your dead fiancee

is more important
than my living children?

Hmm?

You saw.

A catholic called
a Muslim a Saint

because doctors
can perform miracles.

Return the money,

today,

or I give Yashar's body
to the police.

Fine.

You win.

Children, come on!

Go. Come.

What happened to
the Milas carpet

in those photos?

We sold it

so Savas could begin
violin lessons.

You'll have your money tonight.

This is
Suleyman Sevda residence.

Please leave a message.

Suleyman...

It was unfair of you
to appeal to my higher nature.

I don't accept your forfeit.

You win.

You can keep the money.

Be a damn doctor.

What?

Hi. I'll be there at midnight.

Do you have the cash
from the doctor yet?

We have to tell this escort...

We may have to tell her
I have no money.

What?

You said that you were
going to get the money.

I gave it away.

Arkady...

It's just money.
I'll make other money.

I'll get more puzzles.

Pippa, it's okay.

Go away!

Hugo Lum.

He's not here!

Open the door
or I'll use my key card.

Pippa...

I'll see you tonight.

Maybe this call girl

will still tell us
what she knows

even without the money.

What's going on?

I heard the Turk was here.
Where's the money?

Suleyman isn't a doctor.

Yashar found a doctor
who came and operated

in exchange for the money.

The...

The doctor took it all.

The-there's
no money, Hugo.

There's no money.
It's gone.

You liar!

You double-crossed me.

I'll call the police.

Good! I'll tell 'em
you stole $100,000.

Well, technically,
my share was 15,000,

so I only stole 85.

Gurjit, get the car!

This is Suleyman Sevda
residence.

Please leave a message.

The head of security,
he's coming after you.

Run.

No way I'm giving you 15%.

I found it.

And gave it away.

You have that money
because of me.

Actually, genius, I have
that money in spite of you.

Okay, compromise...

I take no cut,

but I give them back
their money.

No.

Or do you prefer

I compose a letter
to head office

about your gun,

which is illegal to have
on hotel property.

Okay.

What is it you want to do?

Ah, welcome!

Come in, come in.

It's wonderful to see you all.

As a souvenir
for your little adventure,

I've put autographed copies
of my photograph

on the table,

made out to each of you
personally.

It's no trouble at all.

What a narcissist...

It's great.

I needed a bookmark.

This one's for you, Jeff.

Yours is here, Ralph.

The thief died of his wound,

and I recovered all the money.

Now, the rules of poker say
that a disrupted game is reset,

so we're going to divide
the money equally.

Sounds fair to me.

You are kidding.

You're giving the rat
back his money?

Ridiculous.

There were two thieves.

You know who
the accomplice was.

I told you.

So did I.

So you want to withhold
the collaborator's money?

Yeah. Absolutely.

The putz should be punished.

Crucified.

All right.

Well, um, I have a solution,

but you can't keep
the rat's share.

I will...

I will give it
to medical charity.

Yeah, as long as
the thief doesn't get it.

Then we'll flush
this rat out, yes?

So we'll do it Russian style!

Everyone please have a seat
where you are.

Hugo, please place
two piles of 10,000

in front of each player?

Now, for this to work,

we have to blindfold you.

Danni? Sam?

Whoa... what?

It's okay.
Justice is blind, right?

Mr. Harlington, you trusted me
with your insights,

now trust me with mine.

Well, this is absurd.

I like being blindfolded.

I'm game.
Sounds cool.

So do I.

Okay...

So it's simple.

You pass 10,000
to your neighbour on the right,

but if that person is the rat,

you slide it to the centre.

You all blindfolded?

Good.

So, on three,

you slide to the centre,
or to the right.

Thank you, Hugo.

One, two...

Three.

Excellent. Good.

Now we'll do the same thing
with the person on the left.

If that person is the rat,
to the centre,

otherwise, pass the money.

One, two, three.

Can we take off the blindfolds?

Please.

You're the thief.
I know it!

You have meted out justice!

You sold me out?

That is my money!

On behalf of
the medical charity...

Thank you.

Thank you...

It's you I have to thank.

Danni!

Call down,

order a feast.

The best caviar,

courtesy of the Huxley.

There we go. Whoo!

She's two hours late.

She said she'd be here.

Still no answer.

Mr. B.

None of the bellboys
have seen that call girl

all night.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know,
maybe she changed her mind.

Or maybe someone
changed it for her.

Pippa, what am I doing here?

These people are killers.

So, what, you can, uh,

you can solve
other people's problems,

but not your own?

How can I solve
anybody's problems

when I can't even...

Go out the door?

We can do this together.

I lost Rosemary, Pippa.

I can't lose you.
