Owning Mahowny Page #6

Well, winning, I guess.

But there isn't much | of that, is there?

If there was,

I'd be out of a job.

If you... if you don't mind | me saying.

- Hey, you win and lose.

Every time

you play, | there's plus and minus.

Always.

- Is that a fact?

- That's a fact.

- Well, Toronto sure looks | like a nice place.

We... we saw

Niagara falls on the way over. | It was just fantastic.

- I've never been.

- You've never been? | How come you've never been?

- I guess I don't want to use up | all of Canada too soon.

- Seven, nine, five, six...

I wanna know who chartered that | flight and where he's going.

- Dan! An honour, as always.

An honour and a pleasure.

- Okay.

- Detective Murdoch, New Jersey | State Police Department.

We want to see a patron | reference card

for a Frank Perlin.

- Perlin?

We don't have one.

- How about Dan Mahowny?

- This means the deposit | was 360,000,

and this is a deposit | of 620,000.

- $620,000 cash?

- That's correct.

- And 1.4 million today?

- By transfer.

- Will you look at this?

The iceman's playing | 70,000 a hand.

- He's bust the table!

- What?

- Holy sh*t.

- Ben, are you there?

- Yeah, go.

- They got nothing on Perlin, | but Mahowny's in Atlantic City

betting tens of thousands | of dollars a hand.

He's known there.

He lost millions there, Ben.

- He's, uh, he's gambling?

- Big time! The guy says it's | like the Super Bowl in there.

Ben, you still there?

- Yeah, I'm still here.

- So what do you wanna do?

- What do I wanna do?

I think I wanna get a couple | of cars out here

and catch me a bank thief, | is what I wanna do.

- We're looking for an eight. | Shake an eight. Shoot out.

Eight! Frontline winner!

- Crap returns.

Okay, we're looking | for an eight.

Shoot out.

Eleven!

- Mr. M?

- Yeah.

- I gotta say something.

- What's that?

- Listen, you gotta pick up | right now and just walk out.

- Oh, I can't do that, Bernie.

- Sure you can! | - No, I can't do that.

- Look, you did it. | You've got 'em by the balls.

I'm telling you, man.

Please, just pick up and walk.

Right now.

- Bernie, I just got here.

- Eight. Mark it. Nine...

- Same good shooter, coming out. | Come on, come on.

- Eight! Frontline winner!

- Why is he stopping?

- He never stops.

- He's not playing.

Victor, I swear, if this guy | walks with nine million...

- You wanna know how we're doing?

Talk to me at 4 a.m.

- Your dice, Mr. M.

- Three. Craps, finally.

- Okay, Eddie craps returns.

We're looking for an eight. | Shake an eight, shoot up.

Three. Craps, finally.

Mr. M... Mr. M!

- They're gonna love you in Vegas.

- Uh, Bernie, I've | never tipped you.

- Uh, no, you're money's no good | here, Mr. M. You know that.

- No, take it.

- Thank you, sir, but, uh... | no thank you.

- You're not the casino, Bernie.

This is for you.

- I appreciate it, but...

I mean, I can't, sir.

You know, I'm real sorry | you lost all that money, Mr. M.

- Thanks, Bernie.

- Sure is a real nice coat | you got there.

Is it from the missus?

- You take care of yourself, Dan.

- You too, Mr. Foss.

- I know you didn't get to eat,

so... ribs, no sauce | and a Coke, right?

- Yeah. Thank you.

- Goodbye, Dan.

God bless.

- See you soon.

- Oh, Mr. M., your bag.

- Thank you, Bernie.

Bernie?

- Yes, Mr. Foss?

- This time, you really are fired.

- I wanna find out where he's | going before we move in on him.

Aw, Jesus Christ!

I thought I said a couple of cars.

- It's kind of been a slow night.

- What do you think we're waiting | for, Butch Cassidy?

- Hello.

Dan?

Dan, you okay?

- Oh, I'm fine.

Blin...

I was just thinking, you know,

you wanna go see Niagara Falls | some time?

I guess you've been | before, but...

- All right, take him.

- Put your hands | out of the window.

Get out of the car, please.

- Is there a problem?

- Turn around and put | your hands on your head.

Put your hands behind you.

You're being charged with | suspicion of theft of over $200.

- You got a gambling problem, | right?

- No. No, sir.

- Come on!

You didn't get a buzz out of it?

- I have a...

financial problem, a shortfall.

- Ten-point-two?

Million dollars?

- Approximately.

- Who else was in on it, huh?

- No one.

- You expect us to believe that?

- I had a lot of luck.

A whole lot of luck.

- At the bank, | but not at the tables.

- Dan Mahowny?

Oh, no. It's quite impossible.

- How do you know him?

- From the track.

- You do business with him?

- Do I do business with him? | Um...

do you ever sign bank drafts | presented to you by Mahowny?

- What are you asking | about him for?

What about me?

- I wonder if his diet | had anything to do with it?

- Dana!

Well, I guess you've got

the perfect excuse | to change banks now.

- Are you kidding? I finally got | something out of those a**holes.

In fact, let's go down | and put up bail.

- Dana, I don't think that's | such a good idea.

- Get away from the car.

There's nothing to see here.

- I'm sorry

they suspended, you, Blin. | They shouldn't have done that.

How many others?

- Thirteen.

- Thirteen?

Including Bill Gooden?

- No, not Bill.

- Oh, good.

- But he is taking early retirement.

- What have I done?

To all those people.

- You want me to pull over?

It's all right.

You need to just relax.

You wanna turn on the radio?

The victory | again last night:

26-18 against the Eskimos.

Tiger Cats won a squeaker | against Ottawa

in 23 to 22 by a field goal | with three seconds

on the clock. The Argonauts | steamrolled the Allouettes

46 to 7 in a game Montreal | would really like to have back.

Listen, you can't go through | the rest of your life...

not being able to listen | to sport scores.

- You're right.

- And you know...

I really love you.

- I love you too.

- How would you rate the thrill | you got from gambling

on a scale of one to 100?

- Um...

A hundred.

- What about the biggest thrill

you've ever had | outside of gambling?

- Twenty.

- Twenty?

How do feel about living | the rest of your life

with a max of 20?

- Okay.

Twenty's okay.
