Poker Night Page #2

Synopsis: When you become a detective in Warsaw Indiana - you go to Poker Night, where you play against some of the best cops in the business. They tell you stories about their time on the job - their successes and failures. When new Detective Stan Jeter leaves the game, he is caught by a vicious psychopath and locked in a basement. Using the stories he heard at Poker Night, he must match wits against his captor - and save not only himself, but the young girl trapped in the basement with him. Like Seven and Usual Suspect, Poker Night combines thrills and twists and turns that will leave you guessing till the very end.

staring.

And I'm trying to come up

with a plan.

So, it comes to me.

Did you go in there

and beat the sh*t out of him?

You take him outside,

then you beat the sh*t out of him.

Nah, you idiots.

You take him outside.

You have him beat

the sh*t out of himself.

Don't they teach you kids

nothing in the academy anymore?

All right, no.

You see this?

I'm trying to tell a story, and all

these guys care about is a cheap laugh.

Hey, let's just remember there are

two dead cops in here. All right?

Hey, beautiful.

Hi.

Hi, I'd like, uh... whiskey double.

All right.

And... You know what?

Double for my friend here.

Thanks.

My pleasure.

What are you so happy about?

I am celebrating

the greatest day of my life.

Tell me about it.

All right.

I'm a cop, right?

I've been spending the last couple years,

every day of my life,

searching for the bodies

of these two buddies of mine...

that got killed by some

heartless bastard, right?

Nothing.

Then this morning

I found the bodies.

They were out in the woods,

not even that far from here.

I can finally take a vacation.

Hey, give him one more.

And keep the change.

Take care, my friend.

I couldn't have waited more than

10 minutes, and here he comes,

he's looking around,

he's all nervous.

He gets into his truck,

and he creeps off.

And I creep off

right behind him.

And then this idiot goes right

into the middle of the woods.

He walks right to a clearing.

Starts stomping around like

he's been missing something.

And after a while, he finally decides that

we must have made a mistake, and he leaves.

I get on the horn to the chief.

Hey, Captain. This is Cunningham.

I found them.

The next day

we dug those two up.

That prick's serving

double life now.

See, that's what it's all about.

That comes from years of being on the job.

You can't teach that.

Whole point of poker night,

young buck.

You listen, you learn,

you go and you do likewise.

And you always use

your best weapon,

and that's your brain.

You always trust your heart.

Yeah, thanks

for that, Confucius.

Getting all teary over here.

Are we gonna play cards or are

we just gonna shoot the sh*t?

That's what we're here for.

All right.

Time for you to lose money.

Hey.

Hey?

I'm not happy

about you being here.

If I had a say,

you wouldn't be getting this promotion.

Listen,

Maxwell... Am I wearing a f***ing dress?

Don't interrupt me.

You knew my rules.

You broke my rules.

If this all goes wrong,

I'm gonna f*** you up.

Girls doing okay here?

Fine.

Just need a few more of these in me,

I'll be right as rain.

You hear anything, Floyd?

No.

But I got my cell.

You know my wife threw me out?
