00:29:43,625 --> 00:29:46,250
So you won't get another photo,
not unless you damn well pay me.
269
00:29:46,333 --> 00:29:49,458
So come on, Betty,
get off your high horse. Fork it over.
270
00:29:49,541 --> 00:29:51,500
I want 500 US now.
271
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:54,875
Down to your last penny, are you,
272
00:29:55,583 --> 00:29:56,916
Mr. Reilly?
273
00:30:03,041 --> 00:30:04,041
Hey!
274
00:30:06,166 --> 00:30:07,416
Excuse... Excuse me.
275
00:30:11,666 --> 00:30:13,083
- Fuck!
- Reilly!
276
00:31:27,083 --> 00:31:29,875
I've beaten better men than you
at this game.
277
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,375
Give me my handbag.
278
00:31:38,291 --> 00:31:41,333
- Where the bloody hell's my phone?
- I want the 500 first.
279
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:44,875
- Give me the phone.
- Money first, then photo.
280
00:31:53,583 --> 00:31:54,583
Thank you.
281
00:31:55,583 --> 00:31:57,250
What about my phone?
282
00:32:01,833 --> 00:32:03,416
We had an agreement.
283
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,666
My photo's worth more than 500.
284
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,291
Your only hope is to sit back, relax,
285
00:32:07,375 --> 00:32:09,625
and marvel
while I turn this into ten grand.
286
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:12,500
Watch and learn, Betty.
287
00:32:34,833 --> 00:32:36,333
This is to leave me alone.
288
00:32:36,416 --> 00:32:38,041
No, we made a deal.
289
00:32:38,583 --> 00:32:41,541
Look, I'm offering you the equivalent
of 10,000 US dollars. Just take it.
290
00:32:41,625 --> 00:32:42,750
I can't.
291
00:32:42,833 --> 00:32:44,166
Of course you can.
292
00:32:44,666 --> 00:32:46,250
You can't afford not to. This is...
293
00:32:46,750 --> 00:32:49,625
Ten thousand is the conservatory
you always wanted. A Caribbean holiday.
294
00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:51,666
New kitchen. Decent clothes.
295
00:32:53,166 --> 00:32:55,583
You never were gonna
give me back my phone, were you?
296
00:32:56,083 --> 00:32:57,375
Isn't this much better?
297
00:32:58,708 --> 00:33:01,375
Not everybody is like you.
298
00:33:06,833 --> 00:33:07,666
Wait!
299
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:09,333
For fuck's sake.
300
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,500
Wait. Look, look, I've made some mistakes
in the past, right?
301
00:33:13,583 --> 00:33:17,958
Who hasn't? But the point is, look,
I... I'm trying to make a new start. Right?
302
00:33:18,041 --> 00:33:21,250
Now, whatever you might think of me,
I'm not a criminal.
303
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:25,333
You stole a considerable sum
of money from our client.
304
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:30,125
And the fact that you quite evidently have
a gambling problem is not an excuse...
305
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:32,375
I do not have a gambling problem.
306
00:33:32,875 --> 00:33:33,791
Okay? Now...
307
00:33:34,541 --> 00:33:37,000
Look, how about...
how about dinner and a dance?
308
00:33:37,083 --> 00:33:39,666
You know? I mean,
maybe we can come to some arrangement.
309
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:41,416
I beg your pardon?
310
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:43,666
I'm asking you to dance, Betty.
311
00:33:43,750 --> 00:33:45,291
How dare you!
312
00:33:45,375 --> 00:33:47,875
- Live a little!
- Oh, bugger off!
313
00:33:49,416 --> 00:33:51,666
Well, at least take the 500 I owe you.
314
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:56,500
Keep it. You'll only blow it all
on the next round of baccarat.
315
00:33:57,333 --> 00:33:59,250
Bloody gamblers!
316
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:05,083
Fuck.
317
00:34:13,708 --> 00:34:15,458
You're running out of puff.
318
00:34:15,958 --> 00:34:19,833
I may be out of puff,
but... I still have my balls.
319
00:34:21,041 --> 00:34:23,333
Yeah, right. Not for long.
320
00:34:42,208 --> 00:34:43,958
Grandma scores another nine.
321
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,041
Not so lucky after all, huh?
322
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:52,333
Well, I... I should...
323
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:55,416
I should be getting home.
324
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:15,500
Dao Ming!
325
00:35:20,250 --> 00:35:22,250
Where were you? Where were...
326
00:35:53,541 --> 00:35:54,916
Player scores four.
327
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:57,875
Banker scores eight.
328
00:35:59,875 --> 00:36:01,250
Gwai lo loses all.
329
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:09,125
Mr. Reilly?
330
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:13,958
So, as you've clearly worked out,
331
00:36:14,041 --> 00:36:18,583
Strick and Garland are
a wealth management firm based in the UK.
332
00:36:19,083 --> 00:36:21,208
Not content to leave matters
in the hands of the police,
333
00:36:21,291 --> 00:36:23,583
they have hired my firm,
Huntsworth Investigations,
334
00:36:23,666 --> 00:36:29,208
to locate a Mr. Reilly in connection
with the theft of £957,000 sterling
335
00:36:29,291 --> 00:36:31,208
from a client account in the UK.
336
00:36:35,833 --> 00:36:37,750
- Cynthia?
- Blithe.
337
00:36:37,833 --> 00:36:39,166
