Molly's Game Page #14

it's embarrassing.

I was high at the end and...

doing my job badly.

I'll also add that in

my limited experience

with the Russian mob,

they don't immediately

present themselves

as mobsters.

My experience with

the Italian mob--

Help us.

I don't know anything

that can help you.

Yes.

-If I did,

-Yes, you do.

You can provide color.

You can paint a picture.

You can tell us Druzhinsky

wore a $100,000 Patek Philippe

and drove a Phantom.

You can tell us

Illya Gershen showed up

with a quarter million

dollars cash in a backpack

and you can tell us

how much action

Shelly was taking

on a sports bet.

No one was allowed to place

sports bets inside the room.

They would have to go outside.

So I had no idea how

much anyone was taking or--

So now you're saying

you knew

they were making and

taking sports bets?

That's the point of

them going outside

they could have been calling

their mother for all I knew.

-Molly?

-Yes, sir.

I don't believe you.

In Mike Davidov's phone

intercepts alone,

just Davidov, your name

comes up 19 times.

"We need Molly," "Get Molly,"

"Bring Molly"

It strongly suggests you're

important to his business

so it's hard for

me to believe that

someone with your savvy

and obvious intellect--

They're talking about the drug.

"Get molly", "Bring molly",

"We need molly", its...

They're talking about

the drug, ecstasy.

Sh*t, my office was next

to yours for two years and

I've seen you make

some bone-headed moves

but I've never seen any

prosecutor step in it

the way you just did.

You should thank all of the gods

that there is no physical evidence

-of that exchange.

-Hey, look--

No, you look, Harry--

What, are you gonna implore

me to do the right thing?

This woman does not belong

in a RICO indictment.

Are you out of your minds?!

She does not belong

in a mob indictment,

she raked a game, that's it,

for seven months two years ago!

And why? Because she was

giving credit in the millions

and she didn't want to

use muscle to collect.

She has had opportunity

after opportunity

to greatly benefit herself

by just telling the real

stories that she knows.

Okay? I have the forensic

imaging going back to 2007.

And I'm talking about

text messages,

e-mails, movie stars,

rock stars, athletes,

billionaires, all explicit,

some married with kids,

and that's just the

tip of the iceberg.

What about the guy

who comes this close

to being the U.S.

Ambassador to Monaco?

He's withdrawn from consideration

at the last minute.

No one knows why.

She does.

CEOs with college-age

mistresses,

an SVP of an investment bank

who wanted Molly to put

a marked deck in a game,

the head of a movie

studio who texted her

that a particular star was

too black for his liking,

I mean, J. Edgar Hoover didn't

have this much sh*t on Bobby!

You know, she could've written a

bestseller and been set for life,

easy, she's got the-she's got

the winning lottery ticket

and she won't cash it.

Your office took

every dollar she has

in a constitutionally

f***ed up seizure

and then put the IRS on her

to tax what you seized?

I mean,

I've been in those

strategy meetings.

You broke her back so she couldn't

possibly afford to defend herself.

And now she has an opportunity

to guarantee her freedom

by "providing color" and

she still won't do it.

This woman doesn't belong

in a RICO indictment,

she belongs in a box of Wheaties.

So, yes, Harrison,

I am imploring you to

do the right thing.

She knows nothing about

the three Petes.

Nothing about Rachniana.

Nothing about RGO

or insurance fraud.

Between the two of us, we've

appeared in front of this judge

28 times as prosecutors

and not once

has he deviated from our

sentencing recommendations,

he's not gonna start now.

I know you've been putting this

bust together for three years

and there's no one who doesn't

want to see mobsters go to jail

including and especially

the one person in the room

who's had one of them

put a gun in her mouth.

Probation. Community service.

Or better yet, just consider that

all she did is run a poker game

exactly the same way every

casino in America does

and drop the goddamn charges.

Anything else you'd like to add?

No.

There's nothing else

she'd like to add.

Uh, I'd like to talk

to Charlie in private

if that'd be okay with you.

Yeah.

Why don't you just grab

some dinner for an hour

and meet me back in the office?

Huh? I'm sorry?

Did you want a hotdog?

I'll have a pretzel, please.

? All it's got to take is

some warmth to make it ?

? Blow Away, Blow Away,

Blow Away ?

? All I got to do is to

to love you ?

? All I got to be is

be happy ?

Here you go.

Hi.

I would like to rent a pair

of skates, size seven.

But I don't have any money.

These are $800 leather

Chanel gloves.

I'll trade you.

$800 gloves?

And they keep your hands just

as warm as the $10 kind.

Miss, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm divesting.

? These dreams go on

when I close my eyes ?

? Every second of the night ?

? I live another life ?

? These dreams ?

Careful.

Hey! Slow down!

Hey, miss, slow down!

Catch me.

Come on, catch me.

Hey, slow down!

Bend your knees.

Dad?

You all right?

Sorry about that.

Sorry.

Taking you off the ice right now.

How's it going?

What are you doing in New York?

How'd you know I was

at the skating rink?

I'm a doctor of the mind.

Oh, Dad.

I'm here in New York because

that's where you are.

I called your mom at the hotel

and she said you were here.

Listen, it's not a big deal,

but from what I saw out there,

I think you're having

a small breakdown.

That's weird. I can't think of why.

Probably because of the arrest

and not knowing what's

going to happen next.

Old man, do you really

not recognize sarcasm?

Do you?

Here, drink this.

I'm an alcoholic, I can't drink

but thanks for remembering.

It's hot chocolate.

Okay.

And for diagnostic purposes,

do you think that we're on a

cocktail lounge right now?

You seeing waiters with

trays of champagne?

I want to check your pulse.

Have you found a pulse?

Yeah, just admiring my watch.

I can see you're

getting warmed up

but I really don't have

the emotional bandwidth

to defend my "as usual

irresponsible behavior."

I know, I got your e-mail.

I get that I'm not welcome in your

life right now as your father

though you should know I could

give a sh*t if I'm welcome or not.

But I'm not here in my

capacity as your father.

I'm indifferent to whether

your father lives or dies.

I'm a very expensive therapist

and I'm here to give

you one free session.

You think what I need

right now is a therapist?

Yeah.

I have to be back at my

lawyer's office soon.

Do you like your lawyer?

I wasn't asking for money

when I called you, Dad.

I just needed my dad.

God forbid you part with a nickel.

Yeah, Tiny Tim, you

grew up on a lake

and you've skied all

over the world,

were those work houses tough?
