yeah something's wrong on like don't don't make me angry slim I might might have missed him but I ain't going to miss you not at this range maybe it's better you just drive dorine Mr Green Mr Green dorine good morning Mr Green Abby Mr Green Mr Green Abby sit down I gather you're quite the player I'm a bit of an Enthusiast myself I thought maybe we could have a few you tell me what's going on don't you we have your medical results from the hospital it's not important how we got them what is important however
is what it has to say you will die within three days from a very unpleasant ailment that contaminates your blood and organs thanks fellas get back to you on this one yeah Mr Green 30 seconds and you can be on your way long you listen that's sweet a pitch 30 seconds [Music] we've already saved your life once the next time we're not be for free we shall assist you under two conditions these conditions are not negotiable I'm being grafted condition one we will bleed you dry have to P A P shot before you bleed me
Dr my friend you will give us every panic you have got this is a con it is only natural that you think that you are somehow being con but think a little harder and you'll realize that this is not a trick now condition two you will do as we tell you without argument this includes answering any questions that are asked you don't have a lot of time and in reality you don't have a choice CH now the most sensible thing to do would be to get a second opinion Mara has Unleashed his Legions we can
protect you from the dangers you face that is our deal you have 3 hours to decide after that you will be beyond our help think I'm going to part with my hard-earned cash for a set of homemade Hospital results I don't think so not today [Music] I don't have good news I'm afraid Mr Green they've thought this one through all right oh they're smart smart as a pair of little boy shoes she has to be in on it that's how they got the results got to find someone they couldn't have got to well Jake um
we um there's no easy way to tell you this you um you have a rare blood disease how did I get to him he's in on it few days I would think how much they pay you what who how much what are you talking about I have no idea what you mean you got five seconds five I I have no idea what you're talking about four I I I don't know what you mean look I have no idea what you're talking about no no when you're winning who thinks about losing but when you're faced with
what I'm looking at a new and cold reality Dawn a fact that we like to ignore you can not win the only prize they guarantee when you play this game is that you will [Music] lose it's only a question of when I uh I'm I'm I I made a mistake you never miss so why now and why three times well I I I I I had a bad feeling feeling I'm not sure if I paid you to have feelings now did I sort her I paid you because you're the best in the business why would
you let feelings confuse that relationship H listen to me me urgency has become something of an issue so if you could restrain those feelings until you've completed the mission I would be most grateful do you think you could do that for me uh sure I'd appreciate it if there's one thing I've learned about experts they're experts on all if there's a rule you can pend it if there's a law it can be broken and from now on I'm breaking all the rules because desperate men do desperate Deeds cash just seems to remain King doesn't it
new bills not too many of them in this [Music] town I love a new bill represents so much hope look how clean and stiff it [Music] is it even smells proud your work Starts Now you'll be [Music] driving we are and I apologize for the unnecessarily dramatic moniker lone sharks people hate and fear us just like you will learn to hate and fear us we know how much you love a dollar bill and it won't be easy watching them fall through your hands because it will be your money that we will be loaning [Music] don't
say a word just hold the bag and if we not leave it on the table there there's nothing left it's a very sad story Mr Horwitz my sympathies are with you and your colleague maybe I am being cned maybe I am being folded excuse us for having to know the re reason for your loan but we have to assess our clients very carefully they say the sentence has been passed the certificate signed so what's the point the point is this is the only option if you snap those fingers at me again I'll break them you
know our rates right and our policies no offense gentlemen but you have a reputation I wouldn't be speaking to you if a choice it's a strange thing but I still don't like to give it away I know I can't take it with me so why the pain why the does it still hurt and greasing the sheaths of these two Pricks isn't making it any easier what did I sign up for I try to make sense out of it not now cuz it doesn't make sense hang the old brain up for a while it's just been
getting me into trouble anyway just know if you start a job then finish it in 3 days we'll have it I promise yes you will God damn right their idea of discretion is to choose a motel whose only clients are blood K and efro Shan here make yourself at home you'll be hearing from [Music] us we can see gold what are you talking about I've been here for an hour the one to ask for this meeting apparently no one sees gold we got one of his Representatives Walker phly Walker that's right [Music] hi Mr Macker
I don't think we've met hi I'm Miss Walker I work for Mr Gold do you mind if we walk uh no no I understand you've been commissioned to do some work for us thought it might be a good idea if we had a little chat make sure you understand the gravity of the Endeavor you've undertaken oh yeah yeah I I I do I understand everything's said date hasn't changed powder by Friday good Mr Gold has put his faith in you and he has people to please we've heard you might be having some problems no no
no no we don't like publicity Mr macka no neither do I I won't let you down I won't let Mr Gold down so we're clear Mr girl doesn't give more time or second chances good day [Music] all [Music] there's your money what now have a seat we need to know how much time you did and who you did it with what why the deal is we asked the questions had two choices inside 14 years normal time or 7 years solitary I chose a solitary I spent 20 hours a day locked up in between two salty
convicts I've been down there for more years than I care to remember one was a chess master the other a master com man never say or spoking to each other but they might as well have been married they knew so much about one another once a day the library on Wheels would be pushed away by a pair of Xmen and twins I pushed the trolley for 22 years my neighbors used to write down chess moves and concepts of the con and the back pages of books based on subjects like um theoretical astrophysics part four and
the mathematics of quantum mechanics they just used them for the con I used to intercept the books because it was saged in between their cells dangerous combination chess and cons these boys were locked up on their own for 10 years with no distractions nothing to do but think about how to steal one another's pieces oh yeah they thought they really thought I was under the impression that I was the clever bastard before I went in but these boys were a completely different class head tricksters of the Premier Division their sole ambition was to create the
ultimate con and win the ultimate game always thinking quicker always thinking bigger gradually they thought they'd found a formula today con check a formula to win the ultimate win the formula I couldn't understand the depth of it but they were confident it was real I believed them after all i' have been right on everything else so now they felt they'd had their moment and it was time for them to leave the confines of their cell the conqur and steel wasn't even mentioned I didn't even doubt them they got whatever they wanted anyway you could smell
their food through 12 in of concrete bastards knew it used to drive me mad we were all going to go together they swore to me you're coming with us Jake I trusted them never for a second did I doubt them next day they were gone Without a Trace for the next week the authorities tore the place apart couldn't find evidence of their existence let alone their exit they just evaporated check two years later I was out but those two knew everything about me everything all my dirty little secrets how much money I had where I
kept it hustling basts cllean me out they didn't leave so much as a pair of socks only a note rule one can only get smart about playing a smarter opponent but I had their formula and it worked it really worked not doing you much good now is it CH light he needs to get moving give him the addresses [Music] why are they dragging this on just clean me out in one hit they want me to suffer this Twisted bastards are making me pay pay for my own pain a part me dies every time I think
about it they found a weakness call me fair and square crossair blindfolded wrapped and packed I'm cooked hard boiled well done stick a fork in me and see if I bleed CH late you're quite good at this game Mr Green stuck in a trance somewhere between hell and a hard place ni what I want now is a little peace where are you the old lady's house does she have it of course she doesn't have it she's barely got a heartbeat the hell's this woman going to get that kind of money that's what she owes any
furniture no take the dog not taking the dog then take the TV TV don't work then get your ass over here now do you sleep at night the troops together break some bones hurt some people results you hear me I'll take care of it you're damn straight you're going to take care of it the word excuse does not exist in Sam Go's lexicon we The Walking Dead until you remedy this situation you understand I'll take care of it no I said do you understand yes you better in the meantime get some more powder I don't
care where it comes from or how much it cost just get it there's only one man who can get us that amount on such short notice who Lord John no way I'm not nourishing the competition that's twice the market price sorry we can't help Mr Paul Tony show you way out all right hold on I am prepared to talk what do you want to talk about okay get it what my having Deja Vu Paul didn't I just say get it it's a Sam gold I found myself chained to Mr Black Magic Mr I run this
game gold that's a plastic gangster with a pocket knife for backup gold doesn't give Second Chances Paul I want in and I want rewards got it Paul when you make the deal keep both eyes on that untrustworthy greedy [Music] mother if anyone asks you don't speak the language after you Mr Green I'm taking up stairs what's the problem Mr Green don't like elevators what are you scared of De I said I just don't like them well tough cuz you're getting in chimbo okay [Laughter] everything he wants a war I'm going to give him a war
I don't think it was Lord John Mr D he knows you'd come looking for him well he's not far from wrong is he there Paul cuz that is exactly what I'm going to do St before we do anything Mr D we have to get Sam Gold's power don't pull the trigger on the shut your mouth you ain't going nowhere huh no no I said you stand right here get rid of the Lord there will be consequences do I look like I'm afraid of the consequences how get off I'm taking the stairs you ain't going nowhere
listen me you think I'm afraid of the consequences take it that listen to me you open your mouth one more time I'll blow your head off [Music] consequences think I'm afraid no do you understand me do [Music] you Lou what's going on we're here how many are there we're doing the deal in the Next [Music] Room when do you make the trade 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes don't trust those yellow dogs I don't trust anyone [Music] [Applause] ah [Music] [Music] go Lou talk to me you mother I'll kill you [Music] myself the consequences can
Ki my black [Music] he [Music] [Music] spe foreign spe spee [Music] [Music] this has become a large problem have I there's no such thing that's problems Mr Green only situations off wake up Mr Green check M how now what we've kept you alive now you can tell me how do you keep winning it's very simple you do all the hard work I'll just help you along the art is for me to feed pieces to you I make you believe you took those pieces cuz you're smarter and I'm Dumber in every game and con there is
always an opponent and there is always a victim the more controlled the victim thinks he has the less control he actually has gradually he'll hang himself I as the opponent just help him along so is that the treasured formula the formula has infinite depth in its efficacy and application but it is staggeringly simple and completely consistent rule one of any game or con can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent rule number two the more sophisticated the game the more sophisticated the opponent if the opponent is very good he will place his victim inside
an environment he can control bigger the environment but easy to control the toss the dog a bone find their weakness give them just a little of what they think they want check so the opponent simply distracts their victim by getting them consumed with their own consumption check the word snake Springs toor don't knock it you only get smarter by playing a snake the bigger the trick and older the trick the easier it is to pull based on two principles they think it can't be that old and they think it can't be that big for so
many people to have fallen for it eventually when the opponent is challenged or questioned means the victim's investment and thus his intelligence is questioned no one can accept that not even to themselves Checkmate I ain't playing you again you will always find a good opponent in the very last place you would ever look you got more tricks than a clown's pocket don't you Mr Green everything all right can I hear you 2 minutes yeah you're okay get out Jack as soon as you can I had to dig very deep to find someone who talk they're
