Scenes with Roman Nagel
6 scenes Roman Nagel Roman Nagel You do know what a magnetron is?
The problem is security were drawing a blank. It's a little spooky.
[talking to Danny on the phone]
The specs aren't on the gray maket, the black market or any other market and all I keep hearing is there's never been a system like this. Now I found out where they designed it but I can't even get in the building. I've blown all my buy money, my bribe money, four of my best I.D.'s and I am nowhere...well not only am I nowhere I'm pretty sure I'm being followed.
Do you have anything?
Yeah I think I have a name but I don't even know if its right. They're calling it-
Roman Nagel The Greco. The Greco Player Tracker.
Couldn't we just shut it off, you know, cut the wires?
Roman That could work. Even better, you could just kick the plug right out of the socket!
I'm serious-
Roman No, short of walking in with a bloody magnetron around your neck- You do know what a magnetron is?
Roman Short of that...I...[laughs] I can't believe I am even talking about this, because...this is a problem!
That's what I said.
But if we could-
Roman No, there is no 'if'! It can not be shut off! I mean, you need a real natural disaster, an act of God!
But if we could beat it-
Roman You can't.
But if we could-
Roman You can't.
You could.
Roman [gives them a look]
Don't flatter.
Look, IF we could shut it off, how long would it take to reboot?
Roman Because it's so sophisticated, 3 and a half minutes.
Pick your natural disaster.
Now the top casinos can clear $3 million just off the floor. Bank, with his high-level players and no limits, is projecting 5. But in exchange for the loans, he had to give up six of the nine seats on the board, so he doesn't control his own company, and a couple of the guys he brought in aren't friendlies. So he has to clear $500 million in the first quarter, or he gets dumped out of his own hotel.
Roman And of course Bank wants another Five Diamond Award, fifth in a row.
Danny
[discussing the Bank heist plan with Roman]
We're going to get his whales.
Roman How?
He talked to Denny Shields.
Roman Denny Shields? After he bragged about you guys to Toulour and started that whole slog?
We need him.
Denny
[Scene cuts to Ocean and Denny Shields conversing at a cafe]
I should've kept my mouth shut. I mean, he was just some guy and I guessed I pissed him off...
Danny
It's okay, Denny. You had no idea who he was, so just let it go.
Denny
No, but really-
Danny
Just let it go. Let it go.
Denny
Well, okay. Everything else is set. I got 18 whales. Now I spoke to their managers, I spoke to their handlers, and I spoke to their assisstants. Every one of them is going to leave. We're going to do it in two tiers. I'm going to leave first, they're going to follow.
Danny
Good.
Denny
But you have to make sure these guys win, 'cause these fellas usually lose, and when they lose, they get comped.
Danny
They're going to win big.
Roman [Scene cuts back to Danny, Rusty, and Roman]
How big?
Danny
Five-hundred
Roman Million? That night, just the group of you?
No–
Danny
It's a Reverse Big Store.
Roman Right...
Doesn't matter who wins...
Roman As long as the casino loses, yes. That might actually work. So, you'll need to rig...
Danny
Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Slots.
