04x06 - Where the Action Is

[bunniefuu]

(dramatic music)

(trumpeting music)

- 10,000, all in.

- 10,000 to you.

- [Burns] I'm forced to see you.

- I guess I win.

- [Ilse] Full house, aces high.

- I guess you lose, Mr. Vaughan.

(dramatic music)

Ilse.

- No wait a minute Burns,
come on.

- You know the house rules, Mr.
Vaughan.

We explained them
very carefully.

- [Ilse] Two g*ns.

Both are loaded.

One with real b*ll*ts and
the other one with blanks.

- The odds are absolutely even.

- We spin the table and
when it stops

you pickup the g*n
nearest you and fire.

(dramatic music)

(g*n banging)

(thudding)

- I'm afraid, Mr. Vaughan...

you lose again.

- No, please Burns, please Burns

Don't, Burns, no.

(g*n banging)
(dramatic music)

- If there's one thing
I can't stand,

it's a bad loser.

There's one thing you love,
it's a winner, hey honeybunch?

A winner.

(dramatic music)

(muffled chatter)

(speaking foreign language)

- [Man] 850.

(speaking foreign language)

- I'll stay.

(speaking foreign language)

One more time, please.

- I'm sorry, Monsieur,
the house limit is--

- One more time.

- Very well, Monsieur.

(speaking foreign language)

- Can't win 'em all.

- You like to gamble.

- Well, it's my hobby
on my business.

- And your pleasure?

- Sometimes.

- You gamble well because
you know how to lose.

- I learned the hard way.

- I too like to gamble.

There're many games of
chance, many venues.

Here, the Rivera, my room.

- Well you certainly have
the advantage,

you have a stacked deck.

- I like you Mr.--

- Vallance, my friends
call me Eddie.

- Eddie.
- Yes.

- Yes, I like you.
- Good.

- You'll fit well into
the ambiance of my room.

- Your, I don't remember
saying yes to that.

- I bet you.

- That's the second
time I've lost tonight.

- Do fix me a drink please.

Vodka martini, very dry.

- Vodka martini very dry,
coming up.

(whistling)

You know, it's a good
thing I didn't pick up

that big bundle tonight.

- [Ilse] Why?

- Well when a winner
gets invited

to a lady's room he liable
to end up minus is wallet.

- [Ilse] If you would've
won, you would've refused me?

- You're catching on.

- [Ilse] I bet you wouldn't.

- I wish...

I wish you wouldn't keep
betting on sure things.

It erodes my confidence.

Very, very dry.

- Thank you.

I could say your health
cheers or something.

But I think the traditional
gamblers toast, luck.

- Luck.
(clinking)

Why me?

(light music)
- You're handsome.

- Come on now, I'm not
gonna buy that.

- You're right.

If you were the ugliest
man in the world,

it wouldn't have mattered
because you are a gambler,

a good gambler, and
that excites me.

But luckily, you're not the
ugliest man in the world.

Some of them are.

- Some of them?

You haven't touched your drink.

- Of course not.

The vodka was drugged.

They all were.

(dramatic music)

Careful, don't harass him.

He's nice, very nice.

He deserves a kiss.

(lawn mower rumbling)

(keys jingling)

- Good morning, sir.

- [Eddie] Good morning.

- [Winters] Just a jug
of ice water.

- [Pursell] Right away.

- Mr. Burns won't leave the
garden until after lunch,

so it's all right for you
to start the service on it.

Good morning, sir.

And don't forget that
after tomorrow,

he'll probably have the
Fosters over.

Probably want you to
pick them up.

- Right.

(dramatic music)

- Hello.

Hope you slept well.
- Slept?

- The pool is perfect
this morning.

Just run, nice sharp
edge to the temperature.

- [Eddie] Now wait a minute.

- See you for lunch.

(sighs)

(lawn mower rumbling)

- Good morning, sir.

Not too pleasant today, is it.

However, the forecast is sun.

You're welcome to go wherever
you want on the grounds, sir.

The pool's at the back
if you care for a swim.

I can get you some
trunks if you want.

- Pool, did you say?

Look, where I am?

- It's Mr. Burns residence, sir.

- Listen, I was drugged, I was--

- You certainly slept
very soundly, sir.

- Burns?

- Walter Burns.

- Well you tell Mr. Burns,
thanks but no thanks.

- Stroll wherever you want

on the grounds sir,
but not outside.

- Who says?

- Mr. Burns said.

- Who is Mr. Burns?

- Probably one of the 10
richest men in the world, sir.

No, five richest

- You mean I can walk
around the grounds,

but not leave them, right?

- That's correct sir.

- Is that a road over there?

- Yes sir.

- So if I take off I
can be outa here

in a couple of minutes?

- I wouldn't bet on it sir.

Although I am a
gambling man myself,

if you care to have a flutter

I'll give you 10 to one against.

- Who's going to stop me, you?

- No sir.

He is.

- Good morning, sir.

- He won't k*ll you
of course sir.

Probably a leg wound, just
enough to disable you.

We're not allowed to k*ll you,
sir.

(dramatic music)

- I don't know if the color
is to your liking sir,

but it should certainly
fit perfectly.

Yes, well, what you're
wearing is correct of course

for the evening games,
but I thought you might

like something more casual
during the day.

If you care to give me
your jacket later, sir,

I'll uh, refurbish it for you.

- Who are you?

- My name is Winters, sir.

- Winters, how did I get here?

- I think we both know that sir.

- All right, then why?

- You are an honored
guest of Mr. Burns, sir.

- I never met anyone
called Burns.

- But you will sir, you
can bet on it.

- And I'm not a guest
around here, I'm a prisoner.

- You will have the whole round

of the house and grounds, sir.

- But not outside the grounds.

- You'll find it very
pleasant here sir.

Everything you may want.

No need to go outside.

- When do I get to meet Burns?

Hm, I am gonna meet
him eventually.

- It's on the cards, yes.

- [Eddie] What kind of a
man is he anyway?

- He's a gambling man, sir.

- How long have you
worked for him?

- I don't work for him, sir.

Not exactly.

I was a gambling man
myself once.

- And?

- Came across Mr. Burns
and he won me.

- He?

- Come on, we'll be
late for lunch.

(dramatic music)

(dice clicking)

- Eddie.

Eddie, what a pleasure.

Come in, come in.

Hey, you don't mind if
I cal you Eddie, do ya?

If you prefer Mr. Vallance
then Mr. Vallance it shall be.

But I think Eddie is much
friendlier, don't you?

Ah, you can call me Wally
if you want or Mr. Burns,

but most around here refer
to me as Daddy.

Nice, solid sound to it.

I'm glad you could come, Eddie.

- Did I have an option?

- The drugged drink?

Just a little bit of
gamesmanship, Eddie.

That's the way to win, isn't it?

Establish an ascendancy
and hold onto it.

Now you're not gonna
hold any hard feelings

about that, are you?

- No, of course not.

But I do resent your
marksman waiting

to sh**t holes in my legs.

- Ilse, you were right.

She's always right, infallible.

You and me are gonna
get along fine, Eddie.

Oh, sit down.

Ah, sit down, sit down.

It's avocado and cold lobster,
but if there's anything

different you want, all
you have to do is ask.

- You want a drink, Eddie.

From a bottle with an
unbroken seal.

- Vodka on the rocks.

- Ah, that's it Eddie.

I don't drink myself.

At least when it's not
before a game.

Gotta keep the brain
cells clear.

You like to roll some
dice before we eat?

- No thanks.

- Hm, well, later.

Then I thought maybe a
little backgammon.

You do play backgammon,
don't ya?

- [Eddie] Some, yes.

- Ilse tells me you have a cool
nerve at the roulette table.

Is that your main game?

- No.

- [Burns] A card man?

- Poker.

- Stud or draw?

- [Eddie] Stud.

(chuckling)

- You have surpassed
yourself my Dear Ilse.

Stud's my game, Eddie.

My favorite game.

I'm the best stud
player in the world.

- I doubt that, Mr. Burns.

- You thinking of Tommy Vaughan?

- I was thinking of me.

(laughing)

- We'll have to put
that to the test, Eddie.

- Yeah, we will, but later.

First I thought a little dice,

then maybe some
backgammon or shimmy.

I like to build to
the real thing.

Anticipate the big game.

- Maybe there won't be
any big game.

Maybe there won't be
any game at all.

You went to a lot of
trouble to get me out here.

Why not just send me
an invitation?

- We weren't sure you'd come.

- We wanted you to come, Eddie.

(dramatic music)

(g*n banging)

Henry got himself a rabbit.

Overrun with 'em.

(dramatic music)

We'll set the stakes at
100 as a starter,

until you can feel your way.

- That's where you made
your first mistake.

Picking me up the way you did,
I don't have much cash on me.

- It doesn't matter.

My method of inviting you
here was unconventional,

I'll agree, but I'm
prepared to pay

for the pleasure of
playing against you, Eddie.

Payment in advance.

That'll be your stake money.

- [Eddie] Must be 30 or
$40,000 there.

- 50,000.

I prefer to play with
American dollars.

I always feel that as
Italian is to opera,

the dollar is to gambling,
an international language.

- 50,000 huh?

- Don't worry, I'll bet you
I'll win it all back from you.

- And he's never lost a bet yet.

No more bets.

25 red.

- Not running for you, Eddie.

- It isn't my money.

This can't mean anything to you,

winning your own money back.

- It was your money.

I paid you, remember?

- No more bets.

- Anyway the intrinsic fact
of money is not so vital.

Just winning.

22 black.

Daddy.

- Hm, yeah I guess you're right.

It's late.

Must all be tired.

Besides, I don't wanna
clean you out right away.

Spoil tomorrow's games.

- Ah, come on, Burns,
be a sport?

One more time.

5,000.

You didn't formally close
the game down, did you?

Hm?

- All right.

- 26 black.

(sighs)

- You're right, it is
getting late.

You can't win 'em all Mr. Burns,

but make sure you win
the last one.

Good night.

(thudding)

- Daddy, don't be so foolish.

He's just the opposition
we've been looking for.

- You were the rabbit?

I heard the shot.

Tried to make a run for it,
huh Winters?

You chose the wrong time.

Night's the best time when
there are plenty of shadows.

- And the dogs.

- Dogs?

What dogs?

(barking)

- Doberman Pinschers, sir.

Trained to k*ll.

Nobody, not even Mr. Burns
would go out there at night.

- I don't blame him.

There are other ways.

- I bet you--

- Yeah, I know, I know,
you'll bet I don't make it.

But getting out of here isn't
like a hand of cards, Winters.

Chance operates there,
the unknown.

Here it's a game of skill.

A little luck comes
into it maybe,

but mostly it's
planning and knowing

the hazards and how
to beat them.

- Take me with you, sir.

I know all there is to
know about this place.

- Yeah, I'm sure.

I'll let you know, huh.

- Thank you, sir.

Good night, sir.

- [Eddie] Good night.

- [Winters] Good night, madam.

- Well, I'm not exactly
dressed for receiving tonight.

- Oh, but you are.

- I thought you liked
big gamblers.

- Winners, only winners.

And the biggest winner
around here is Daddy Burns.

- [Eddie] So far.

- That's right.

Absolutely right.

Good night.

Sleep well.

- Sleep well.

(splashing)

(clapping)

Hey, that's not bad.

- Not bad?

You can do it better I suppose.

- Naturally.

I imagine I could swim this pool

five or six times underwater.

- I bet you.

- Yeah, what do you wanna bet?

- Something nice.

- Hm, promises, promises.

- Okay, something nice you said.

- Some people say the nicest
thing about me is my smile.

- You don't say.

- Ah!

- Eddie.
(groaning)

How long do you think you
could stay underwater?

- I don't know, couple of
minutes I guess.

- Suppose there was
10,000 riding on it.

- Well that might increase
my lung power, yes.

- Tell you, Pursell here, he
doesn't have your physique,

but I'll bet you that 10,000
he can stay under longer.

- Okay.

- All right.

You stay that side Eddie.

- Mr. Burns, I don't think I--

- Trust me, trust me.

- But Mr. Burns I can't--

(splashing)

(coughing)

- Ready, go.

(dramatic music)

You owe me 10,000.

(gasping)

- I told you he's a winner.

- Well I guess that little win

at the pool makes us even again,
eh?

You took me on on the
wheel last night,

I took you at the pool.

We're even.

- Not quite, I scored.

- You scored?

What do you mean?

- I mean I won some valuable
information about you.

Always check out the
house rules first.

- Rules, just part of the game.

It's luck that counts.

- [Eddie] To amateurs, yeah.

- Huh?

- Well you gamble for fun,
with me it's a business.

I don't disbelieve in luck,
but I don't rely on it.

- What do you rely on?

- My own skill, knowledge
of my opponent, observation.

- Ha, observation.

- I tell you what Mr. Burns,
I will bet you $10,000

that you don't know what
kind of shoes you're wearing.

Come on now, you're
the big gambler.

10 grand, what kind of shoes?

- Suede Polo boots.

- No, wrong.

Brown leather lace up
with a wedged heel.

I just won my 10 grand back.

- Hey, wait a minute.

These are black.

- Oh and another thing,
if you're gonna bluff,

bluff with conviction.

(dramatic music)

(chuckling)

(whistling)

- I thought you might need
a sandwich sir,

as you missed most of lunch.

That was superb sir,
but dangerous.

You beat him.

He can't bear to lose

- Everybody loses sometimes,
Winters.

- He can't lose.

Don't you understand?

He's psychologically
incapable of losing.

If we are going to escape, it
ought to be tomorrow morning.

They pin the dogs
soon after 7:00.

It has to be tomorrow.

- Has to be?
- Yes.

Tonight it'll be shimmy
or backgammon.

But tomorrow it'll be poker,
stud poker.

He never loses at that.

- Well maybe he hasn't
had any stiff competition.

- Tommy Vaughan.

- Tommy Vaughan?

Did he play here?

Come on, Winters, did
he play here?

- Yes, sir.

I must ask you to forget
that I said anything.

- That was smart just now Eddie.

Smart.

I enjoyed it.

- Well if you enjoy
losing $10,000,

I can provide you pleasures
for the rest of your life.

- No, it's not the money,
it's the challenge.

Your the nearest I've
ever come to my style.

Oh I like to gamble, Eddie,
can't live without it.

Roll of the dice,

turn of a card, that
attacks my adrenaline.

That's when I know I'm alive.

I almost lost that
feeling though.

It was terrible.

Like losing your lust for
a pretty woman.

Like being dead.

Happened when I was 29.

My father struck oil.

Oh up to then the money
was important, necessary,

but suddenly I had
so much money.

That's when gambling
lost that tang.

I was like a heavyweight
champion who could never lose.

A hunter impervious to the lion.

A hunter who had run out
of game to hunt.

Ah, it's not the money.

It's the challenge.

Finding someone I can pit
myself against.

Someone good and cunning.

Someone like me.

Someone like--

- [Eddie] Tommy Vaughan?

- Tommy Vaughan?

- Yeah, you mentioned
him at lunch yesterday.

- Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tommy Vaughan.

- If there were Olympics
for stud poker,

Tommy would take the gold medal.

- No, I would.

- Ah, you've played
against him then, huh?

- No, no, I haven't had
the pleasure.

But from what I hear, he
wouldn't amount to

much against
me.

- Oh, I don't know about that.

I know Tommy.

In fact, I'd arrange a
meeting for you except

that he's dropped out
of sight lately.

No one's seen or heard of
him in quite some time.

- Oh, is that so?

Yeah, yeah, well you
arrange that meeting

just as soon as he
turns up again.

(dramatic music)

- Not now.

- What's a matter?

- Tomorrow night,
after you've won.

If you win.

(dramatic music)

- How many?

- How many what, sir?

- How many are buried out there?

- Buried, sir?

- How many bodies?

- Three.

- Tell me, Vaughan's
one of them, isn't he?

Isn't he Winters?

- If they find out
I've told you.

- You wanna get out of her,
don't you?

That's gonna be tomorrow morning

when they bring the dogs in.

(barking)

- Shut up!

- Sound ferocious, don't they?

I can assure you their bite

is probably worse
than their bark.

- Card.

- Zac's the only one who
can handle 'em.

Even he doesn't take
any chances.

- Sniff.

- You're on a lucky streak,
Eddie.

But shimmy isn't really my game.

Take a break, shall we?

- More gamesmanship?

You wanna break up my game,
or my lucky streak, which?

(chuckling)

- Clumsy fool.

- I'm very sorry, sir.

- What's the matter, Winters?

Something on your mind?

- No, I'm very sorry, madam.

- Well let's play shall we?

- $1,000.

- Come on, come on.

(dogs barking)

Yeah, make it an early night.

You'll need all the
sleep you can get, Eddie.

Tomorrow night we'll be
playing my game.

I'm going to the kitchen for
a glass of milk, good night.

- Good night, sleep well.

(dramatic music)

(dogs barking)

- [Zac] Here you go.

Shut up!

- Which way are we going?

- Through the front door.

- Front door, but
Henry overlooks--

- I'll take care of Henry.

- Does that thing work?

- If it didn't I
wouldn't be here.

Go down the hallway and
wait for me, all right?

- [Ilse] You won't make it.

- Darling.

Where's your confidence in me?

- I'll bet you this
bracelet against

$1,000 you don't make it.

- Whatever turns you on.

- I'm going to take my
bath, a very long bath.

- Yeah, you do that baby.

(thudding)

(dramatic music)

Okay, turn around.

Come on.

Now walk.

Winters, let's go.

Hey, look happy.

Smile, it's a nice day.

(laughing)

- Morning, Eddie.

- Why?

- I'm very sorry, sir.

I was offered a side bet
you wouldn't make it.

It must be worth at
least $10,000.

I'm a betting man, sir,
I couldn't turn it down.

- I forgot the best piece of
advice my shrink ever gave me:

never gamble on a woman.

- You're angry with me.

- Angry?

Why would I be angry?

All you did was stop me
from getting out of here.

- You are angry.

You know, Eddie, I would
have been sorry to lose you.

The big game is tonight.

You lose well, don't you.

That's the first thing
I said to you.

You really know how to lose.

Only I'm not so sure you
know how to win.

(dramatic music)

(barking)

- [Zac] Shut up, Bruno.

- By the way, Eddie,
Daddy Burns insists

on formal wear for the big game.

- Does he, now?

Well, we won't disappoint
Daddy Burns, will we?

- We dine first, and then
the game starts, all right?

- Yeah, fine, I don't
have any plans.

- Oh, Eddie, if you do win,
I um--

- Please, don't ever excite me,

I'm liable to lose my
concentration.

- I hope you do win.

(dramatic music)

- I remember a play in Cairo.

It was me, a Texan
and two sheiks.

The limit was 20,000, I
was holding a full house.

Two queens and two aces
showing and an ace in the hole.

I bluffed 'em all out
except the Texan.

He had three fives and a jack.

But as it turned out,
he had that other five,

four of a kind.

Took me for two million
dollars that night.

- Wow.

- But, I got my revenge
and my money back.

A couple of weeks he
came and played me here,

I took the pants off him.

(chuckling)

- And now he's buried
in the garden.

- What is this?

It's awfully sweet.

- Think so, honey?

Why don't we change it.

(snapping)

Tonight, we change everything.

You haven't been too
nice to me lately, honey.

I don't like it when
you're not too nice to me.

Did you know that?

I like you to be too nice to me.

- Well maybe a big win
will turn the trick, huh?

- [Burns] Yeah.

- I mean, after all Ilse
loves a big winner, don't you?

- Well, she's gonna love
me after tonight's game.

- Or me.

At least the odds are even.

- Even.

Yup, yeah they're even.

Well, I'm ready to play poker.

How about you, mister?

You trust me, then?

- Not particularly.

- Just so you don't
question the house rules.

Stud poker, cut deck,
seven to ace,

high or low, no limit.

What do you think?

- I think for a poker
player, you talk to much.

- Cut the deck.

(dice clicking)

- I'll open for 100.

- Kinda cautious,
aren't you Eddie?

- So is Mythris.

- Mythris, where does he play?

- Crete, around 1200 B.C..

He was cautious too up front.

Ended up taking the
whole island.

- You're talking about w*r?

- That's right.

(dogs barking)

- All right, deal.

- 500.

- You didn't look at
your whole card.

- I'm feeling lucky.

What about you?

500.

600.

- Here's 600.

And up 1,000.

- 1,000 to you.

- Well, let's get
some real action.

2,000.

- 2,000 to you.

- Your 2,000

and up 4,000.

- 4,000.

- Now let's see what
you're really made of.

Your 4,000

and up 10,000.

- 10,000 to you.

- Getting a bit too rich
for your blood, mister?

- No, this hand is just
crying out to be played.

Your 10,000

and up 20.

- [Ilse] 20,000 to see.

- See?

I don't wanna see that
garbage he's holding.

Well, your 20,000

and raise 20,000.

- Ah, you're killin' me Burns.

Here's 8,000 and I'll give you

my marker for the additional--

- We don't throw markers here,
Vallance.

- My bank'll verify
that it's good--

- No markers.

But we'll consider kind.

- Kind, what are you
talking about?

All I've got is my clothes

and a watch that's
probably worth--

- We've got something
better than that, Vallance.

You've got you.

Come on, Vallance,
you're a gambler.

Not as good as me maybe,
but a gambler just the same.

Now how many times
have you heard

a gambler say I'll stake
my life on it?

How many times have you said it?

Hell, I musta said it
100 times myself.

- But on three occasions,
he meant it.

- You have said that.

- Sure, it's a figure of speech,
nobody actually means it.

- In this house it isn't.

Here, we mean it

I'll take the clothes and the
watch and you as collateral.

(laughing)

- What am I worth?

- [Burns] A million dollars.

That's what you're worth to me.

- If you win, you walk away
with the pot and a million.

- And if I lose?

- Then it's your life, or mine.

Another little gamble we
haven't told you about yet.

- But you still get a chance.

- That's right, it's an
even money bet, Vallance.

What do you say?

- You run a hell of a game, Mr.
Burns.

The ultimate cl*max for somebody

who has so much money he
can never lose.

- You got it, Vallance.

It's the only kick left.

I like to win Vallance,
I always do.

But what's the thrill of winning

without the chance of losing?

You and me, what do you say?

- 20,000 and raise 20.

- I'll raise 100,000.

- 100,000 to see, that's
a lot of money.

- Oh, you can afford it.

You're gambling with a
million dollar stake now.

- And my life.

100,000 and raise 100,000.

- In that case I raise 200,000.

- The suspense is k*lling me,
I'll see you for the 200,000.

(dramatic music)

(dogs barking)

- So it all comes back to Daddy.

You're cool, Eddie.

But I wonder if
you'll be so cool

with the next little game
I've dreamed up.

The final game.

- Two g*ns, both are loaded.

One with real b*ll*ts and
one with blanks.

We'll spin the table
and you pick up

the g*n nearest you and fire.

- [Burns] I said it was
an even chance.

It's better than even,
because you get first shot.

- That's right.

And he takes the same
chances you do.

The same risk.

- [Burns] Those are the
house rules, Vallance.

So simple, there can't be
any question now can there?

- I like examining the
deck before I play.

- This is gonna be good.

The others usually panic.

- Like Tommy Vaughan?

Steel nerves at a poker table

but any hint of violence
and Tommy broke up.

- Broke up?

He cowered, begged.

- I won't give you the
same pleasure.

- No, I don't think you will.

(g*n banging)

(dramatic music)

No, I guess you won't beg.

(g*n banging)

(groaning)

- Go ahead, Wally, it's
your turn to fire.

Come one, it's your shot.

- Well, go on.

You can still win.

- No, no, no, he won't
pull the trigger.

Then they'd know.

They'd know that Daddy Burns,

the world's greatest
gambler is a cheat.

That's right.

Both g*ns are loaded
with blanks.

The real ones are just
tricked up to look real,

but anybody that's
familiar with g*ns can tell

from the weight that
they're just blanks.

Blanks that make a nice
big noise to cover Zac here

when he shoots him from
behind with this.

- That isn't true.

It isn't true.

Tell him it isn't true.

Deny it.

Show him, show him.

(g*n banging)

You cheat.

Cheat (g*n banging).

Cheat (g*n banging)

(thudding)

- That's not all he cheats at.

- I've had you psyched
out since our second game.

(thudding)

Your life against mine, Burns,
come on.

Your life against
Tommy Vaughans.

- Who are you?

- Eddie Vallance,
professional gambler.

I'm also a patient man.

Patience is a good virtue
for gamblers to have.

It's also good for a detective.

- Detective?

- And you didn't pick me
up sweetheart,

I've been on to you for weeks.

That's right, I found you.

I'll collect the fee
from Vaughan's estate,

but that doesn't matter.

Tommy happened to be a
damn good friend of mine.

He played sweet stud,
met his debts

and never cheated his
entire life.

(dramatic music)

- I'm gonna k*ll you, Vallance.

- You don't have the nerve.

(thudding)

Besides, you're running
out of friends.

Zac maybe, but the others
are seeing something

in you they didn't know
existed before.

- They'll do as I say.

They'll k*ll you because the
price on you still stands.

One million dollars.

Who's gonna pass that up eh?

A million dollars.

Why they'll tear you
limb from limb

to get a piece of the action.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Burns,
but you're too late.

You don't think I played this
game single handed, do you?

Without an ace in the hole?

Hm?

Get your clown off me and
I'll show you what I mean.

- All right.

(dogs barking)

- Everything that's
been said here

tonight has been overheard,
recorded.

- Come on.

- After he produced
that g*n we went through

everything with a fine
toothed comb.

- Yeah, that's right,

this is just come cheap
plastic toy he's tricked up.

This is no transmitter.

- Isn't it?

- You're bluffing.

- Well then call me.

A pick up car is less
than a half a mile away.

A direct line to the police.

Now Burns, they're
gonna put you away.

This is one scene you're not
gonna buy your way out of.

They're gonna put you
away behind bars because

any minute now the police
are gonna come right--

- Stay where you are.

You are bluffing.

- Are you sure?

- I don't hear any sirens.

- Sirens, to tip you off?

No, Burns, the police
aren't going to do that.

They're gonna surround
your grounds, break in,

and probably sh**t you
down without warning.

- You're bluffing.

He's bluffing.

I'm sure you're right Mr. Burns,

but if not, we don't
have much time.

- I tell you he's bluffing.

I'm a gambling man,
I always win.

- Only this time you'll
have to play it

straight without cheating.

- I tell you he's bluffing.

There's nobody out there.

Nobody.

All right, I'll prove it to you.

- Mr. Burns, the dogs, the dogs.

(dogs barking)

- I suddenly got devalued.

I'm not worth a million
dollars anymore.

- So you were bluffing.

- And you my love, are
an accessory to m*rder.

You'll probably get at
least 10 years.

- You think so?

Me, in an all mail jewelry?

You wanna bet?
