like taking my advice...

00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,- No, it's not that.

this up for you.

00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,Now you call the Golden Lion,
and you ask to speak

00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,to Mr. Reynolds.

00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,- Goodbye, Dad.

00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,- It was unbelievable.
I was in the room.

00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,500.

00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,Uh-huh. Blackjack.

What'll you have?

00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,- Nope. Jack knew
it still wasn't quite right.

00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,- I wanna f***k

a reputation, hasn't he?

00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,- Has he?

00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,- In any case, I understand
you've had some

00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,previous experience
in South Africa.

00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,You'll find the rules here
just a little bit different.

00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,Before we start, you haven't
g***t a police record, have you?

00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,- No.

00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,- What school did you go to?
- I was at Bedales.

00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,- Oh. I don't think
I know that one.

00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,Private, I suppose.

00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,There's three types
of casino in the UK.

00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,High volume, small action,
and middle of the road.

00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,That's us.

a salon prive?

00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,- We tried.

00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,Right. Let's see you
handle the chips.

00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,- I have to assume
the serial numbers

00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,on the bowl
and wheel correspond.

00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,- We check every two days.
- Why not every day?

00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,- Procedure here.

me out $1,800 in 25s.

00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,Very good. Okay, let's have
a look at your blackjack.

00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,- Fourteen.

00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,Too many.

00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,Nineteen, Sixteen.

00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,Too many.

00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,Thirteen.

00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,Eighteen, Fourteen.

00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,Nineteen.

00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,Twenty.

00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,- What's the count?
- Minus nine.

00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,- I make it minus eight.
- Minus nine.

00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,- What makes you so sure?
- It's the rule.

00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,Always stand by
your first count.

00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,The odds are
you're right.

00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,- Good call.
- You want me to check?

00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,- I said,
good call.

00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,- It had taken
him 45 minutes,

00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,but Jack now had
Mr. Reynolds' number.

00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,The man
couldn't count.

00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,- Right, just let me
run through a few things.

00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,As a dealer,
you never gamble.

00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,Not anywhere. And we'll
need your picture.

00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,- What for?
- For the database.

00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,It can be accessed by
every casino in the country.

00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,We have the same
system for punters.

00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,- I don't gamble.
- Ever?...
