Miles, calm down, all right?

It was an honest mistake.

What?

You know what? I think we're gonna have

to go at this without you, man.

You're gonna what?

No, no.

This is just as much mine as it is yours.

We've been working on this for over a year.

I know that.

But your heart just isn't in this anymore.

Are you serious?

Fine.

Fine.

You know what? I don't even care.

Honestly, I don't even care.

You know why?

'Cause no one in the real world gives a sh*t

about the 2.09 Competition.

You know, it's just something

that you build up in your head

to make yourselves feel important.

You guys are pathetic.

Thanks.

Welcome back, Mr. Youngman.

- Thanks, Joseph. It's good to see you.

- Good to see you, too.

Good evening, Mr. Youngman,

welcome back to the Red Rock.

Nice to see you.

Anything I can do for you, let me know.

Double down.

I guess you play big or you don't play at all.

Right?

Honey, there you are. Let's go.

We don't wanna miss the show!

Honey, we're actually playing a game here.

Yeah.

Yeah, so you know what?

Why don't you run upstairs

and wait for me there? Okay?

All right. Let's go.

Yeah, all right.

I've got the worst headache right now.

- Ten.

- Come on, monkey.

- Fourteen.

- Come on. Come on, monkey.

- Sixteen.

- Monkey. Come on.

Twenty-one.

Pete, you're killing us.

I guess it's not my night.

Are you out of your mind?

I don't know what happened.

I messed up. I'm sorry.

Oh, you're sorry.

Well, see, now that's what I've been waiting

to hear, Ben. As long as you're sorry.

I'm out 200 grand, but Ben's sorry!

Everybody hear that? Ben's sorry!

So we can all go back to being friends

and laughing over cocktails!

Come on, Micky. It can happen to anyone.

They get on a rush and they lose control.

You shut your mouth. This is business.

Hey, I let you down, all right? I get it.

Excuse me? You let me down? I don't care!

Let me make one thing clear to you,

I am not your father!

You are not my friend. This is a business.

You are only as good to me

as the money you make,

and, right now, it's not worth a hell of a lot!

You're gonna give me back

everything you lost.

I can't do that! That money was for Harvard!

I have made you so much more

than what I just lost!

It doesn't matter, Ben.

You had very clear instructions,

and you didn't follow them.

You didn't do your job.

You weren't counting, you were gambling!

Well, why aren't you out there, then, Micky?

I mean, we take all the risks.

Seems to me like you don't do sh*t.

This isn't about me,

you arrogant little infant.

You can all find your own way

back to Boston.

And, Ben, you're gonna pay me that money,

every penny, one way or the other.

And you damn well know it.

I need a drink.

Anybody else?

Yeah, well, we don't need him.

- Yeah, okay, Ben.

- No, I'm serious.

Why do we need him?

We have our own money now.

You know, his cut was 50/,

and he doesn't even play!

Why do we need him?

Hey, you know what I think?

I think we play out the weekend,

and I think we do this without him.

No. No, I don't think that's a good idea.

I think we should go back to Boston

and figure this out.

Yeah, well,

why don't we let the team decide?

I'm with Jill. This is Micky's thing.

Micky brought us together.

And then he drove us apart.

I mean, you saw

how he played Fisher against me.

Choi, what do you say, man?

You wanna make some money?

- Kind of.

- Really?

We need 100 grand just to play.

You're talking about risking our own money.

All I'm saying is that we try it. You know?

If we make the investment,

then we take all of the winnings.

All of it.

Okay.

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Choi?

I'm in.

Now I need a drink.

- What are you doing?

- What?

What are you doing?

Well, we're printing money.

What, you think just'cause Micky left

that we're gonna stop?

No, I could do this. I can lead this team.

You know, I'm not the same guy

I was back in Boston.

- Exactly.

- Yeah, exactly.

You know, isn't this exactly

who you wanted me to be

when you first came into the store

to buy a tie?

What happened to "$300,000 and I'm out"?

What happened to "a means to an end"?

- How much do you have?

- What?

- How much do you have?

- I got enough.

Come on, Ben. How much do you have

saved back in Boston?

I've got 315 grand, all right?

Then why are you still here?

Because I wanna still be here.

I like being here.

So does everybody else.

So come on, Jill. Are you in?

You are the big player, Ben.

Yes, I am.

Yeah, can I get a drink?

Rose, I wanna thank you.

You have been most accommodating.

All right, that's for you.

Okay, take care. Hey, good luck.

Hey, how we doing here, people?

Yeah, I'm gonna put you on hold

while I track him down.

Just got an interesting call.

There's nobody left to fire us.

Planet Hollywood is our last client.

I don't know about that.

This is Cole.

Queen of diamonds. Your lady luck tonight.

You're doing good.

You're a real winner.

Sometimes. Just like everybody else.

Now, why don't I believe that?

Maybe you're just smarter

than everybody else, huh?

Yeah, I bet it's been that way your entire life.

Except it just recently started

paying dividends, am I right?

I'd split them.

Deck's heavy as hell and since

I've been here, the true count's at plus 7.

Kianna. I think

we have a serious problem over there.

- Walk now!

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t!

Let's go. I'm out. Thank you.

Let's go, Jill. Let's go.

I think we need

to call security or something.

Yeah, I don't think they're gonna help.

Let's go! Come on.

Let's take a walk, huh?

Come on, kid.

See if we can't get you that chicken dinner.

It's called Biometrics.

Biometrics.

It's sort of like a fingerprint of your face.

See, when the player sits down

at the table, the software, it reads this...

Biometric profile.

...biometric profile of your face,

cross-references it

with a database of counters.

Software'll probably put you and me

out of business, but it still can't do this.

All right.

You understand all this. You go to MIT.

Smart boy.

My name is Cole Williams.

And if I ever see you in this town again,

I will break your cheek bone

with a small hammer,

and then I will kill you.

Please. Please just take the money.

You can take it.

Tell me,

how's good old Professor Rosa doing, huh?

Oh, yeah. Me and Micky, we go way back.

I spent years, chased him all over this town.

Giving him beat downs left and right,

only to find him at the tables a week later.

He was very persistent.

And then, one September night,

when I was in Barstow

at my father's funeral,

my casino was taken for seven figures.

Can you imagine that?

The most ever taken by a single counter

in one night.

'Course I was, naturally,

unceremoniously fired.

Funny thing, though.

I never saw Micky Rosa after that.

Never.

Cauchy was the first

to make a rigorous study

of the conditions for convergence

of an infinite series.

And was concerned with developing

the basic theorems of the calculus
