Default probability of four 2\'s being dealt in a full deck...please help...

hello all...i have a question that i cannot figure out...we were playing a four player game where the entire deck is dealt out and everyone gets 13 cards....what is the probability that one person gets all 4 of the 2's. I can figure out the odds that the first 4 cards are 2's but i dont know where to go from there to take in account that you have 13 chances to get the 4 2's.
Also in a side question. If you get 3 of the 2's, what is the probability that the person on your right gets the other 2. Thankyou for your help. I appreciate it. If you are explaining how to come to this please explain without the "choose" button on the calc. Thankyou
