Are your really elite? Prove It!

[An abandoned casino on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Dust hangs in the air. Dead slot machines line the walls, their screens dark. At the center of the casino, a single blackjack table is still intact. Adriano Ricci sits at the dealer's position, slowly shuffling a deck. Kat Genovesi leans against the table, arms folded. Around them sit Donavan Di Niro, Victor Gotti, Giancarlo Mazzanti, and Giovanni Sabbatini.]

Adriano Ricci: [deals himself a card] Funny thing about Vegas... everybody comes here thinking they're gonna beat the odds.

Kat Genovesi: [smirks] And most of 'em leave broke.

Donavan Di Niro: But we're not here to gamble.

Victor Gotti: No. We're here because AWS Black Out 1 just dealt us a hand.

Giancarlo Mazzanti: [leans forward] World Elite.

[A brief silence. Adriano places another card on the table.]

Adriano: Lindsey. AJ Flare. World Elite.

Giovanni Sabbatini: They got themselves a nice little name, don't they?

Kat: [laughs softly] A name. That's what they've got.

Adriano: Let's make one thing perfectly clear. We aren't looking past them. We aren't distracted by anybody else on that card. Our attention is on World Elite.

Donavan: Because sleeping on World Elite would be a dangerous decision.

Victor: Very dangerous.

Kat: [pushes away from the table and looks directly toward the camera] So, Lindsey. AJ. Listen carefully.

You hear "World Elite" and you think that name is supposed to scare somebody?

It doesn't.

Adriano: You call yourselves elite, but where's the evidence?

Giancarlo: Where's the dominance?

Giovanni: Where's the world recognizing you?

Kat: Exactly.

The world barely recognizes you.

[Kat walks around the blackjack table, slowly circling the empty dealer's chair.]

Kat: And that's the funny part. You're walking into Black Out carrying a name that sounds bigger than the people wearing it.

Adriano: We don't need a fancy title.

We don't need to tell everybody we're elite.

We walk into a room, and people already know who owns it.

Donavan: That's the difference between reputation and marketing.

Victor: Between being feared and being announced.

Giancarlo: Between the Syndicate...

Giovanni: ...and World Elite.

[Adriano flips his cards over: blackjack. He gives a small, satisfied grin.]

Adriano: Twenty-one.

Kat: Looks like the house wins again.

Adriano: Lindsey, AJ—don't make the mistake of believing that because you've got "Elite" in your name, you've already earned your place at our table.

Because you haven't.

Kat: You're coming into our world at AWS Black Out 1 thinking you're facing two opponents.

[She points around the table.]

Kat: You're facing a Syndicate.

Donavan: And we don't forget.

Victor: We don't forgive.

Giancarlo: And we certainly don't sleep.

Giovanni: So don't sleep on us.

Adriano: And whatever you do...

[He gathers the cards and begins shuffling again.]

Adriano: ...don't sleep on yourselves either. Because when that bell rings, you're going to find out exactly how dangerous it is when the people across from you have already decided how this hand ends.

Kat: World Elite?

[She gives a cold smile.]

Kat: Prove you're elite.

Adriano: Because at Black Out 1...

Everyone: [in unison] The Syndicate collects.
