as rigorously as possible.

Any questions?

No? All right, moving on.

Isn't it true Cauchy stole from his students?

Yes, I heard that.

What's your theory on that?

They say he used his students

for their brilliance,

then discredited them

and stole their equations,

stole their hard work.

Well, that wouldn't be the first time

a teacher was accused of that.

I think what he's referring to

is Vladimir Stupnitsky, yes?

He was a student of Cauchy's

who accused Cauchy

of stealing his four-volume text

on this analysis

and publishing it under a pseudonym.

Of course, nobody knows

what really went down there.

They never did prove it, and without

the proof, it's a little like it never happened.

And, you know, it's a real shame,

because if Stupnitsky had just realized

that he shouldn't have crossed Cauchy,

this was the dispute,

if he'd been able to get beyond some

of the personal mistakes that were made,

I have no doubt that Cauchy

would have worked with him again,

and they could have

done great things together.

But, as history shows us,

some students never learn.

You should get that eye looked at.

You okay?

Everything's gone.

- What?

- Micky's taken everything.

He's taken the money,

taken away Harvard Med, even MIT.

- What are you talking about?

- Micky, he's taken everything.

I gotta find a way to get it back.

Are you insane?

You just got the sh*t kicked out of you

and you won't let this go!

Look, what am I supposed to do, Jill?

I've just lost everything!

Look, please...

I don't want to lose you, too.

Ben, you were dragged away in Vegas.

I haven't heard from you.

I had no idea where you were.

I know.

I know.

You know, I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

I'm sorry.

In Vegas, I don't know what happened.

That wasn't me.

Look, you know me.

You know what I'm like.

You know me.

I need you to trust me.

And the winner of this year's 2.09

for excellence in the field of robotics

goes to the team of Conolly and Kazazi!

That's it. That's the story.

Jill Taylor. Really?

- Yeah. Yeah, really.

- Wow.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like "wow," Miles.

I really screwed up.

Yeah, you did.

But you had a life experience.

I can't believe how I treated you, Miles.

You know, you're my best friend,

and I really let you down.

I really let you down. I'm sorry.

And I'm happy for you, you know?

Winning the 2.09? That's great.

- Jill Taylor. Really?

- Yeah.

So let me get this straight.

Money, girls,

high-roller suites, clubs vEgas.

Yeah, I think I probably would have

blown off the 2.09 Competition, too.

So we cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

But you better believe that

you're gonna make this up to me, big time.

All right.

So, what are you gonna do now?

What do you want, Ben?

This is an alumni dinner.

You need a diploma

to come to one of these.

Wait. Stupnitsky wants back in.

What?

Look, I've had some time

to think about what you said.

I want back in.

- Why now?

- Because I have nothing else.

All right, look, Ben. I'm not gonna lie to you.

You're good, you're very very good.

But you did exactly what I told you not to.

You got emotional and then you got stupid.

Now you tell me why in the world

I'd ever get back in business with you.

Look, I know I should never have

disrespected you, all right? I know that.

With this facial recognition software,

our window of opportunity

is closing in on us.

Now, I need this, Micky.

I really, really need this.

Well, the take would have to be really, really

good to get me even vaguely interested.

Well, you know, that's why I was thinking

maybe you should be the other big player.

You know, two big players playing big?

Hey, slow down,

I haven't played in a long time, Ben.

But Fisher's out.

No one else on the team

can be the big player, can they?

And if we do well, if we do really well,

then you get your grades back,

get to Harvard Med,

and I might even get that sabbatical.

Well, amazing things can be done

from the inside, right?

Just went back to the head of the class.

I gotta go be social.

All right, now listen.

It's different out there this time.

The stakes are high

and it's more dangerous.

But the return is gonna be the biggest.

Now they know our faces,

so we're gonna wear disguises.

And we can't mess around.

I'm glad you're back with us, Micky.

Well, I couldn't let you guys

come back to this town

and not prove to Ben

that I can do more than just teach.

But as we've all said, this game

is about the past and the future,

and tonight we forget about the past.

We just focus on the future.

Right. This is our last time.

Now, we all know the drill if things get ugly.

We meet at the Fox Strip Club.

Nobody leaves this town alone.

Let's go make a killing.

All right.

Let's see what we can do with this.

Seems like I'm having one of those days,

you know what I mean, Jim?

I'm bringing all the luck today.

I'm just bringing it all.

Anyone who's in any kind of contact

with me is getting so much luck today.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! There it is.

Thank you. God, I love this town.

I love this game.

And, Jim, I might even love you.

Hey, you mind if I sit down?

What's your name?

Shane? I'm about to change your luck.

It's gonna become mine.

There you go, give me it all.

There you go.

Thank you. Thank you.

Such a shame, Shane!

Okay, I'm supposed to double, right?

- Is this your first time, darling?

- I've been winning and losing for hours.

Well, that's all right.

I've been winning and losing for years.

What the hell kind of streak

are you on, boy?

This never happens, this never happens.

I'm just gonna have to split those tens.

- Splitting tens.

- Splitting tens!

- Split tens!

- Again!

- Split tens!

- Again!

- Thank you, ma'am.

- Give me the chips, Blanca.

Give me the chips!

Come on, give me the chips, Blanca.

Come on, just give me the chips!

- My bus has to leave right away.

- I gotta walk my dog.

- I'm sorry we're making such a mess.

- Go, go, go, go, go.

Nice to see you. Have a good night, darling.

This way!

Go.

This way!

Come on, Jill. Come on!

Go that way. Throw me the chips.

Come on, we gotta separate.

Give me the chips, I'll meet you at Fox's.

Go, go, go, go!

Come on, come on.

Move, move, move!

Come on.

Go, go, this way.

All right, let's go.

Go, go, go, go! Airport!

I never saw Micky Rosa after that.

Oh, God.

But I think I wanna see him now.

And I want you to make that happen.

I don't work for Micky anymore.

Come on, kid.

Your picture's all over the database.

Your Vegas gig is done.

But I will give you one night.

And I can guarantee

that you won't be bothered.

You'll make a killing, and you'll keep it all.

Listen.

My name's Cole.

Cole Williams.

You just bring me Micky Rosa, kid.

I'll take care of the rest.

Son of a b*tch.

Who the hell are you?

Ben. Good job.

You'll be glad to know I'm gonna have a talk

with your professor, and that MIT thing?

It's gonna work out for you.
