Cashing Out (2014)

James Hiroyuki Liao: Jay Lee

Quotes 

• Jay Lee : Hey, Al, Commissioner Standley's bank records. Now, this guy's been draining his accounts over the last nine months. Downsized apartments from the Upper West Side to Alphabet City.

  Al Burns : If he was corrupt, he sure as hell wasn't too good at it.

• Carrie Wells : Here's the deal: if I win again, I don't have to wear this necklace.

  Jay Lee : Carrie, if you don't wear the necklace camera, we can't see what's happening inside the casino.

  Carrie Wells : Jay, if I do wear the necklace camera, I run the risk of looking like a real housewife of Beverly Hills. This thing is huge.

  Jay Lee : I bought a necklace just like that a few years ago for my sister, and she loved it.

  Carrie Wells : Ah, that's very, very cute that you still believe that.

• Carrie Wells : All right, are you ready? Three of diamonds, jack of spades, four of hearts, ten of clubs, seven of spades.

  Jay Lee : [throwing his cards down in frustration]  Damn. I've seen her use her friggin' memory a million times, and she still hustles me.

• Eliot Delson : How they doing?

  Jay Lee : Boss, I've got facial recognition working overtime. This place is not lacking in suspects. Most of the security guards have sheets.

  Eliot Delson : Yeah, it takes a criminal to run a criminal operation.

• Eliot Delson : Who's that Al's taken an interest in?

  Jay Lee : Oh, that's Molly McGintee. I think she's the hostess or something. Smart kid. Was a student at Stern Business School, but dropped out about three years ago.

  Eliot Delson : Good job. Keep me posted.

  Jay Lee : Will do. It's a pretty risky business, huh, boss?

  Eliot Delson : You can say that again. And then there's Al and Carrie to worry about.

• Jay Lee : So, I know Carrie thinks the poker game is rigged, but... what's the guy's signal?

  Al Burns : The cards of the player they're targeting. Someone was spotting his cards behind the table.

  Jay Lee : All right, but then how did Carrie take Germ down?

  Al Burns : Nobody was spotting her cards, he had no advantage.

  Jay Lee : Pretty ballsy move; two guys running a card scam in front of Dean.

  Al Burns : Which is why we think they work for the casino. They're targeting individuals and bleeding them.

• Al Burns : What'd you find?

  Jay Lee : Well... Lonnegan's is owned by a dummy corporation called the Foxriver Group. Sunglasses guy is Kirby Monroe. Got a couple of charges for robbery. Seems to work card rooms around the East Coast.

  Al Burns : And Germ?

  Jay Lee : This is an interesting fellow. Chuck Thornton. Got a perfect score on his LSATs, Columbia Law School, but this guy's a two-time loser. Got pinched for falsifying pick-six bets from the Breeder's Cup back in 2006. Served 37 months.

• Cherie Rollins-Murray : A buddy of mine at the Bureau just sent this over on the money guy Zager. Now, the name Zager showed up in the gambling scene a few years ago, but nobody's got anything on him. Not even a country of origin.

  Al Burns : What about the guy they cleaned out, Olden?

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Yes. Will Olden. 32, lawyer, lives in Park Slope. Made about $150K last year. His only client is the estate of a dead guy. Here's what I got on the estate.

  Jay Lee : Okay, so Olden loses almost an entire year's salary at the poker table last night. Why extend a marker to a guy who can't pay it back? It doesn't make sense.

  Al Burns : It does to someone.

• Carrie Wells : Standley was working on the subway expansion project in Red Hook, deciding on stops. I saw the map in his office. He was choosing between Wolcott Street and Carroll Street.

  Al Burns : The property near the new subway stop will suddenly become a gold mine.

  Carrie Wells : Jay, where are the buildings that Olden represented in Red Hook?

  Jay Lee : Uh, hold on a sec.

  [typing] 

  Jay Lee : Okay, here we go. Olden's client's biggest property was an abandoned warehouse on Wolcott Street.

  Carrie Wells : That's the play. They weren't looking to get back paid in money. They wanted Standley to rule in their favor on the subway expansion.

  Al Burns : Which, if they own the right property, is a hell of a lot more valuable than any gambling debt.

  Jay Lee : I don't know, that seems like an awful lot of work. Why not just bribe the guy?

  Al Burns : Standley's assistant said he was incorruptible. But once the casino got their hooks into him, he had no choice.

• Carrie Wells : The assistant was right. Standley's not corrupt, he's a gambling addict, right? So they lure him in, and then once they get him in debt, they use their leverage to make him choose Wolcott Street.

  Jay Lee : But then why kill the guy before he's made his decision?

  Carrie Wells : [remembering the maps in the victim's office]  He had made a decision. I saw it circled on the map in his office. He chose Carroll Street.

  Al Burns : So he decides to go with his conscience, even if it means screwing the Foxriver guys. So they kill him, but they still go forward trying to acquire Olden's property. They must think they can get Standley's replacement to go their way.

  Carrie Wells : Right. They bet on Wolcott. Jay, look into the local holdings of Foxriver Group.

  Jay Lee : [typing]  Okay. Okay, we got two properties, both purchased within the last three weeks. Both buildings on Wolcott Street.

  Al Burns : Okay, can you find any names on these property deals?

  Jay Lee : [searching]  Just the one: Dean Gray.

• Jay Lee : Remember that burner cell that Standley called the night he was killed? I just tracked a call from it to the switchboard at Police Plaza.

  Al Burns : The call could be to Vice. Germ and Dean might already know we've been inside.

  Eliot Delson : You gotta move now.
