Luck

Thanks. Okay.

I'm pregnant.

Who's the papa?

Whoa, hey!

I still don't know how you ever got involved with this guy.

Mike starts using my co-op to stash his dope.

And then the grandson starts using it.

The neighbor drops a dime and he says it's not his.

And he wasn't lying. It was Mike's.

How's your grandson, ace?

Stress is the major factor in your symptoms.

- Do you have someone you can talk to? - A horse.

That's not bad.

Mon gateau has won it convincingly.

Leon will be on that horse wherever he goes.

I maneuvered you the mount on Escalante.

- Yeah! - All right.

- What about Leon? - The kid's five pounds over.

I'll be riding on derby day.

Maybe I'll bet a couple of bucks.

The post position draw for the derby's 75th running,

a million dollars guaranteed.

Our two co-favorites will start side by side.

Do you understand the position you're in?

- I'm still in your employ. - And also in theirs.

He never told me to deceive you.

What makes you think I'm deceived by ace Bernstein?

They killed him, Gus.

I put that kid in harm's way. I'm as guilty as you.

What's on the disk?

Cohen trying to bribe the Indian gaming lobby

into continuing criminal conspiracy.

You ain't my partners no more.

We're gonna take over ace's plans.

- While Bernstein's doing what? - Nothing at all.

Irish horse entered.

They give a look to in that derby today.

Some Greek's horse over from Ireland.

- Ya hear me? - Yeah, yeah.

Ace.

There's half a chance this here

could be Israel.

- Where? - Body found off the marina.

We gotta go.

Morning, Turo.

How you think you're feeling?

Good, and how are things at the barn?

Well, you know. Big day coming up.

How's Eduardo?

The fuckin' goat disappear,

and he helping him look for him, the kid.

Pint of plain loves that goat. Is he upset?

Never mind the goat. You got problems enough.

Anyways, I'll come back and see you.

Hey, win two for me today, Turo.

They get the racing channel?

I'll work it out, don't worry out it.

Say hello to Eduardo for me, okay?

Yeah, I say hello to him.

Give me three seconds here.

All right.

Jesus Christ.

Look who's here.

Look, ace. Look who showed up out of the blue.

Hey, gramps.

What are you doing here?

Uh, someone thought it would be a nice surprise for you.

Yeah, huh?

Oh, go... you go ahead, kid. You tell him.

Well, Gus sent me a... an airplane ticket

so I could come see your horses race.

I guess maybe it's not such a nice surprise for you.

From left field, kid. That's all.

Got the elevator key?

Yeah. Yeah, let's get out of this crowded lobby,

up to your grandfather's apartment.

That's why he pays all that rent.

Don't worry about your bags. I'll take care of them.

- How are you? - How you doing?

All right?

Yeah, you know.

10-hour plane ride will take a little bit out of you.

Some hair you got. You look like a fucking baboon.

Can you believe this?

Look what these bastards did.

Brought my grandson here, fuckers.

That evil prick, Smythe.

It's okay, ace.

We'll work it out.

Sit with him.

Keep him stayed put till I think through what the fuck to do.

They're gonna look to hurt him,

you'd halfway think they'd have done it.

Yeah.

You no-good, miserable prick.

Who's winning?

Fuck you's winning!

What do you make of the card?

What's shakin', Lon?

I was going across to the dry cleaners.

Anyone want a doughnut?

Excellent betting card.

Uh, jelly-glazed, please.

No!

Cream-filled.

Two chocolate, rainbow sprinkles!

- Cream-filled. - Two chocolate, sprinkles.

What time's your mom's bus?

11:20. I got some leeway.

Hey, Jerry.

What do you think?

You think Mon gateau's got a chance?

100% objective, that puts us right in the mix.

God damn it.

- You all right? - Yes.

You got it?

"Objective," is that a fact?

Yeah, with that girl, maybe 20-to-1.

20-to-1, that's rich. Wouldn't that be something?

Yeah.

Jerry very much likes our chances.

Yeah, that and 50¢ will get you a towel at the y.

What time do ya pick up your ma?

Uh, I got a little leeway.

I'm gonna go wait for Lonnie and the doughnuts.

You wanna know how I feel?

Today's the day they take it all away from us.

Brent?

Emailed with Gus, the entire transaction?

You didn't think to just call and... and verify?

Call and verify what, gramps?

I thought this is what you wanted.

All right, listen to me, Brent.

Various reasons, probably not a good idea

- that you come to that race. - Yeah, like what reasons?

Gus don't sometimes think through all the ins and outs.

There's scrutiny for my parole, huh? One factor.

Maybe I'm secretly involved,

this horse's ownership. I start bringing family...

yeah, or how about this, gramps?

How about Gus was stepping out, looking to make a peace between us

that you're just not ready to make yet?

How's that for a reason?

How about half-smart's worse than fucking stupid?

- Me, you're referring to or Gus? - Whatever shoe works.

Okay, well, it was good to see you, gramps.

Jesus Christ, you're a pisser.

Stay the fuck here!

You wanna watch the... the race,

you watch it on television.

Hey.

Can I answer the door for room service?

Yeah, stay a fucking smart-ass.

How many times you told me you'd hoped to bring this kid home?

The right moment, situation.

Well, now is going to have to do, the situation being what it is,

and nobody getting any younger.

We oughta check to see if this is Israel.

How'd it go, Jack?

He feels great, boss. Jumping out of his fucking skin.

Good, good.

- Morning, Escalante. - Oh, good morning.

Gonna be one kinda horse race.

Yeah. It sure is.

Nothing bothers this fella.

Old pro, he's seen it all.

Awful grateful you give me this chance, sir.

Yeah, good. Don't louse it up.

Turn him around and let him settle down right here.

- Uh-h, yep. - Right here.

Good.

- Thatta boy. - Morning, Rosie.

Heya.

How you doing, kid?

Leaving for Portland tonight,

once I first watch Rosie's race.

Absolutely, absolutely.

He got me three mounts on Wednesday, Tommy Swanson.

Well, he's... he's the best agent out there.

Tommy, he'll... he'll hustle for you 24/7.

I'm glad it's Rosie Escalante's putting on Mon gateau.

Better her than somebody else.

God bless you for your positive attitude.

All right, Joey.

All right, kid.

I'll be back once my weight's right.

There you go. Sounds like a plan.
