Another 'unlucky day' to celebrate.
This is the last one until next June.
Let's check out another Episode of the Show.
This one is called...
They are stolen/released and now he has to track them down.
He has the help of two young people (a third in Season 3).
A man is talking to his bookie about how he has a system.
He's shot by someone and killed in 1982!
In 1988, the Son is a bad gambler too!
He's beaten up by his bookie and the guy steals a ring from his Mother.
It glows like crazy and throws him around the room, killing him.
In the aftermath, the ring shows him who will win a Game and he makes some money.
Unfortunately, he's not enough, so he has to keep doing it.
Meanwhile, the Mom (who was also attacked) goes to our Heroes who are, conveniently enough, looking for the Ring, tells them that she knows about the ring.
He uses the ring more, tricking many different Gangsters/bookies into wearing the ring and dying.
My question- how does the magic ring show them the end this way AND have the TV Audio?
Our Heroes try to trick him, but it backfires and the woman has to hide.
His paranoia, conveniently enough, is validated when the lead bookie brings him in seconds later.
He abuses the guy, cutting off a finger (or two) to get the information.
Mom shows up and gets involved.
In the end, the lead guy is killed by the ring and the son says that he will use the info to get everything they want.
He's shot and killed...by Mom, who reveals that she also shot his Dad.
The End.
A rough tale of desperation, obsession and addiction.
To be fair, this Show is about strange objects killing people or making them kill people.
It's usually not upbeat.

In this case, the magic ring dooms a generational duo. Ouch.
I have so many questions about how and why this thing works.
The idea is that it was a 'cursed' object as it was made for the 1919 White Sox, who famously threw the game for money.

Sidenote: Between Pearl, Krampus- Origins and this, I've mentioned 1918-1919 quite a bit in a short amount of time!
Anyhow, because they cheated, Satan made this ring benefit gamblers and cheaters, while also killing people? Alright then.
The Plot is fine. The Acting is good.
Just know that the Plot involves lots of beating and torture (off-screen, mind you), so here's your Trigger Warning.
Wow, I'm already 9 Episodes into this Show. At this rate, I'll finish the Show in about 32 years!
