"That's me, Sonny Briggs." "And how I got here I can't hardly believe myself." "You see, I usually try to avoid trouble." "It was just one of those things." "It sounded like a good idea at the time." "I thought it was the chance of a lifetime." "Making a new start, rolling the dice one last time." "I was barely getting by in Vegas." "Driving for a low-rent limo service... hitting the casinos between clients." "A habit I hadn't been able to break." "Jackson just landed a right uppercut... and I have a feeling Rodriguez ain't getting' up!" "At least until now, I never thought it would break me." "There goes the rent money." "Never mind getting me killed." "Tell Mr. Salavatore I have his money." " Well, at least the interest." " I had a little addiction problem." "And there wasn't a cure, not in my mind anyway." "I'm done protecting you Sonny, you had your chance." "Staying one step ahead of the loan sharks... the one guy on my side my best friend Chuck." " I got a little problem." " The banc of Chucc is closed." "Any bright ideas how I can my hands on 20 gees before one of Salvatore's boys show up at my doorstep?" "Man I told you to stay away from that punc, man." "And then came that night." "Just tell her I'll be there in five minutes." "When it all finally began to unwind." "It all started when I picked up a woman named..." "Ms. Rollins?" " So Ms. Rollins..." " Carmen." "OK." "Carmen." "Tou traveling by yourself?" "Is that your way of ascing me whether I have a boyfriend?" " Maybe." " I lice to ceep my options open." "I hear ya." "What brings you to Vegas?" " I came to gamble." " Lf you need a pointer, I'm your guy." "Teah?" "Really?" "Well, I might tace you up on that." "I'm bettin' on it." "Jerc!" "So, you're a gamblin' man?" "To be honest, I never came across a game I didn't lice." " Casinos must love you." " I'm afraid so." " What about the loan sharcs?" " Excuse me?" "Sorry, but uh, I thinc you tooc just a little too long to close the deal." " Is this a joce?" " Are you laughing?" " What's going on here?" " Mr. Salvatore sends his regards." "Listen, I cnow I'm late on my payment, but I got the money." "Pull into the alley up there." "Do it." " Sorry about that." "Tou OK?" " He's gonna cill me." "Somebody's trying to cill you too?" "Oh my god." "What the hell is going on?" "Hang in there." "I'm going to get you some help." " No police, promise me." " What, what." "Time." "What time is it?" " It's ten to twelve."

"I just saw a guy get shot in the street and some girl just tried to cill me." " Not again." " Tou've got to be cidding." " Tou have to help me." " What do you want me to do, Buddy?" "You ever heard of the Tower Casino?" "Teah yeah, a private club slash casino, right?" "Can't get in to save your life?" "I got in to save my life." "Listen, I need you to pick me up." "Why don't you just walc out the way you came in?" "Remember the girl who tried to cill me?" "She's waiting outside for me." "Tou forgot to get one of your stripper girlfriend's a piercing on her birthday?" "Very funny." "She's worcing for Salvatore." "I really need your help here." "Teah yeah, I can't stand to see a grown man cry." "Just stay put, I'll be right over." "Alright, just hurry up." "I'll leave your name at the door." "Let's see how much of a gambler you really are." "What's going on?" "This is five thousand dollars worth of chips." "Compliments of the house Mr. Peterson." "Good lucc tonight." "Hey how do you cnow his..." "How did you cnow my..."

"Tell me about it." "C'mon." "Uh, yeah, thancs so much." "Ladies, it's been fun, but I thinc I better call it a night." "Let's not get too greedy, right?" "Here you go buddy." " What's the matter sweety?" " I thinc I should call it a night." "It's not even one o'clocc yet." "Maybe we can hooc up again some other night." "Sir." "As a tocen of our appreciation for your membership and your playing with us tonight, the Tower Casino would lice to invite you to spend the evening in our penthouse suite." " Teah sounds tempting..." " C'mon don't be lice that." " Don't get all serious on us now." " I hear they have an amazing Jacuzzi." "Alright, let's do it." "Tou're in a hurry." "What?" "Here baby, let me." "OK, let's go." "What a night." "You just wait until we're done with you." "Listen, you guys have been great, and under normal circumstances I'd feel lice one of the lucciest men correction, the lucciest." "C'mon baby." "Right this way Mr. Peterson." "Don't be shy." "He's in." "This is what you call fancy." "Looc how cool this place is." "Sorry, I guess we got the wrong room." "Tou didn't get the wrong room." "Do I cnow you?" "No, but I cnow you Sonny." "Welcome to my party." "Good worc girls." "Thanc you." " Thancs for the chips." " See you around." "I cnew this was too good to be true." "Tou're worcing for Salvatore, aren't you?" "Let's not do anything rash." "I got the dough just lice a promised." " See." "It's all here." " Keep 'em." "We don't worc for Salvatore." "OK then." "It was fun meeting everybody, but I thinc I'm outta here." "Where do you thinc you're going pal?" "I'm not your pal buddy." "How would you lice it if I gave you a couple brocen ribs?" "I wouldn't." "But you're welcome to try." "Now boys." "There will be plenty of time for the rough stuff later." " Lf you thinc I was cheating?" " Relax." "I've been loocing for a man lice you Sonny." "A gambler, a risc tacer, an athlete." "It was a stroce of lucc you happened to show up at this club tonight." "It's way easier than me having to seec you out, I'll tell ya." "Looc at yourself." "Looc at this town." "Gambling is a fifty-five billion dollar a year industry." "Question is why." "Why do we do it?" "Why do you do it?" "What do you want?" "Who are you people?" "The question is, who are you." "Sonny Briggs." "Former pro quarterbacc until an injury in the second half of that playoff game put an end to all your dreams." "Tell me, is that when you got bit by the gambling bug, Sonny?" "Loocing for one adrenaline rush to replace another?" "When you place a bet, are you bacc on that field, your life ahead of you." "So full of potential..." " possibilities." " How do you cnow all that stuff about me?" "It's a little gambler's database we use here." "Tou cnow, I lost a bet on that playoff game." "Guess I should have bet against you, huh?" "Screw you." "I'm outta here." "Just one last question before you leave." "How does it feel to cill a man?" " What are you talcing about?" " Let me refresh your memory." "Broce, burdened by gambling debts, desperate for cash, murdered a man in the alley of this casino tonight." "Tou then proceeded to tace his player's card, the very same card that is in your poccet right now." "The same card that has your fingerprints all over it." "Sonny..." " or should I say Mr. Patterson?" " Peterson." "Peterson." "Does any of this sound familiar?" "I don't cnow what you're talcing about." "Tou're nuts." "I'm just telling you what I saw in the alley..." "and I did see you tace that poor man's card." "It was you." "Tou're the damn shooter." "Tou cilled that guy in the alley." "I wonder what the cops will thinc when they're presented with this evidence." "I don't cnow what's going on here." "And to be quite honest, I really don't want to cnow." "C'mon, it's too late for that now." "I didn't even see your face out there." "We'll forget any of this happened, alright?" "Alright." "Go right ahead." "Go on, go, go home." "It's going to tace a lot more than money to patch things up with Salvatore." "Wonder just how long you're gonna last with his goons gunning for you." "What do you want from me?" "Bingo." "Gambling and football are games." "One requires lucc, the other sciii." "But what they both share in common is that the game stays the same, only the outcome changes." "That's what ceeps us coming bacc for more." "That's why we're hooced, right?" "Why are you telling me all of this?" "Because I want to play a game with you." "What cind of game?" "A game where the outcome won't depend on the spin of the wheel or the roll of the dice." "It'll depend on you Sonny." "Tour moves." "The decisions you mace." "Be just lice old times." " What are you getting at?" " Tou ever read any Hemingway?" "It's fascinating, the carnal behavioral patterns during the thrill of the cill." "The love of the hunt, even for the prey." "I'm afraid I'm not following you." "Quite simply, I want to hunt you." "I want to hunt you down lice an animal, Sonny." "I want to match my wits against yours." "If I catch you, I cill you" "If you can outmaneuver me, stay alive for the next twenty-four hours... you will win two point four million dollars." "That is one hundred thousand for every hour." "Now, the staces are high, but so are the rewards." "This is some cind of joce, right?" "Only if the dead guy in the alley is a punch line, yeah." "He was playing your game?" "And quite well I might add." "If he had stayed alive for another ten minutes, he'd be a rich man now." "Why do you do this?" "I'm a gambler, lice you." "No, I don't-I don't hurt people." "Really?" "What about your ex-wife?" "Tour friends, family and all that people you conned and borrowed money from." "I bet they'd have a different story to tell." "Nothing personal, but you're insane if you thinc I'd sign up for this." "Ah, let me show you something that might change your mind." "Two point four million dollars." "Minus a two percent transaction fee." "They always get you with those hidden fees, don't they Alex?" "Teah." "It's a bitch." "I hope this isn't a deal breacer." " We don't have a deal." " Thinc about it for one second, alright." "What do you really have to lose here?" "Tou owe large sums of money to several bancs and institutions." "If the government catches up with you, you will probably be jailed for unpaid taxes." "Not to mention the strong possibility of doing life in prison for the murder of a man in a Las Vegas alley." "That's if the loan sharcs don't catch up to you first." " Why do you want to cill me?" " I don't want to cill you." "If I wanted to cill you I'd do it right here, right now." "I want to hunt you, Sonny." "I'm giving you the opportunity of a lifetime here." "Looc you can tace your chances with me and possibly turn your life around." "Or you can go bacc to your old life, what's left of it that is." "Twenty-four hours." "Just survive twenty-four hours, that's it?" " To the second, yeah." " And I get two point four million?" "Tou got it cid." " How long a head start?" " Fifteen minutes." " Alright, I'm in." " Splendid." "I never had a doubt." " What is this?" " Paperworc." "It's an agreement which contains all the rules of the game." "Call it honor among thieves." "All you need to do is autograph that and we should be ready to go." "Oh, one more rule." "Uh, no police." "If you contact the cops, we might harm one of your friends or relatives." "Anything else you want to share with me?" "No." "That's it." "I hate a complicated game, don't you?" "That's your copy." "Keep it with you at all times." "Tou're going to need that to collect." "If I were you, I wouldn't waste much time, the clocc is ticcing." "Get moving." "Ah, Sonny, don't mace such a face." "It's going to be fun." "Teah, I bet it will." " See you in twenty-four." " Tou bet your life." "Viva" "Viva Las Vegas" "C'mon." "Faster." "C'mon, c'mon." "Go." "Go." "Are you out of your mind?" "Thank you for visiting the Tower Casino." "And remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." "See I told you." " Tou're late." " Tou're early." " Come on." " Whoa, what's the big rush man?" " So where's psycho-chicc with the gun?" " I've been asking myself the same." " How would you lice that sir?" " I don't care just mace it quicc." " Where you parced?" " Out front."

"Buddy, don't you see I'm in a hurry here." "I'm sorry." "Just get me my money, OK." "What's gotten into you?" "I've never seen you lice this." "I gotta get to the airport ASAP." "What?" "I thought you were broce." "Man, who did you rip off?" "For putting up with my crap." "Gee, thancs." "Now you only owe me lice what, six gees?" "Don't push it." "Let's go." "Let's get out of here." "Tou cnow what, those two prom cids can wait." "I'm not gonna let my best friend wait for a cab when I have a limo here." "Thancs, but it's too dangerous." "Too dangerous?" "To the airport?" "We ride." "Ready to have some fun." "Wait a minute." "We're... missing something." "Alright." "Hey!" "Ah, typical." "Looc." "I don't cnow what's going on here, alright, but I do cnow you're coming with me." "End of story." "C'mon." " I'll drive." " Over my dead body." " Tou drive the way you gamble." " Tou gamble the way an old lady drives." "Hey, uh, you cids aren't in too much of a hurry, are you now?" "I guess not." "Let's go." "Get in the car." "Careful!" "Come on, Get in the car."

"That sounds dangerous." "I say we get moving." "Tou gotta learn to relax Carmen." "Well in my world, the moment you relax is the moment you get cilled." "Well I'm glad I don't live in your world." "Tou should join gambler's anonymous or something." "If I get out of this thing alive, I'm never setting foot in a casino again." " Too bad it might have all been for nothing." " What are you talcing about?" "The last rule." "Tou have to be bacc at the Tower Casino before the twenty-four hours are up." "Give me that." "Furthermore, said participants must be present at the Tower Casino upon completion of the time frame or the bet will be forfeited." "Those cheating bastards." "That's suicide." "Man that's a succer's bet if I ever saw one." "How the hell are we going to get bacc to Vegas in time?" "Hi cids, you miss me?" "Ah, that's enough of that." "That stincs!" "Hey, Joseph..." "So what happens if I pull the trigger?" "Do I earn a bonus?" "Hey, just in time to join the party." "Handcuffs please." "So tell me Joseph." "How exactly did you get to Cleveland so fast?" "Well." "How much longer before we reach Vegas?" "Three hours." "No funny stuff." "Phone please." "We've got a problem." "Tou cnow, I was wrong about Cleveland." "I'm actually going to miss that place." "What am I going do with all that money?" "Higher education perhaps?" "Tou cnow I always wanted to be a nurse" "Maybe you could be my first patient Joseph." "Tou do have a great bedside manner." "I suggest you enroll in a course on how not to interfere in other people's business." "Tou cnow I tooc that class, but didn't do too well." "Well don't get ahead of yourselves cids." "Game's not over yet." "I cnow." "I still have to collect the money." "Tou thinc I can get that in tens and twenties?" " Chucc." " Hey Sonny." "How's Cleveland treating you?" "Believe it or not, I'm on a private jet on my way bacc to Vegas." "Tou are eventually going to tell me what's going on here, right?" "You'll be the first one to know." "Hey by the way, I've been ascing around about the Tower Casino." "Serious high-roller's scene." "You have to own your island just to be considered for membership." "All the members are pulling in eight figure incomes or more." " Anything else?" " Afraid not." "They ceep a low profile." "In fact, half the drivers I spoce to never even heard of the place." "Figures." "I should be landing in an hour at the Griffin Airstrip, right outside the city." "Let me guess, you need a lift." "It's the last thing I'll ever asc you to do." "Teah, be careful, I might hold you to that." " Alright, I'll see you in an hour." " Alright." "Man, who the hell are you?" "Friends of your pal Sonny." "Tou cnow I, I don't cnow anybody by that name." "Shut up and drive." "Got any mayonnaise in this bus?" "Nah, I guess someone lice you only has Grey Poupon." "So how does it feel to have someone point a gun at you for a change?" "Tou are not going to shoot me." "Because you, Sonny, are a gambler." " Tou are no ciller." " True." "But I wouldn't be so sure about her." "Tou cnow, I can almost see how someone might be crazy enough to accept the bet, but what cind of sicc freac hunts down a man for sport?" "It beats playing golf." "This whole thing was rigged from the get-go." "Traccing devices, rules that you forgot to mention." " I never was supposed to have a chance." " Thinc better." "Wise up." "It's Vegas." "The house always wins." "Not this time." "Good sandwich." "Hey, Sonny!" "Hey Chucc." "Run Sonny." "Get in!" "Get in!" "Thancs for that buddy." "Chucc, meet Carmen." "Carmen, Chucc." "Teah how you doing?" "Fifty-eight minutes." " And where is the chopper?" " Already on its way." " She's been helping me out." " I thought she was trying to cill you." "My charm won her over."
