the rape and murder of a teenage

prostitute.

>> Dad, you know how I feel about tight

Get me out of here.

>> I'm under a half. I didn't know the girl

was going to get killed.

Oh,

>> Marlin,

you deserve that. Why didn't you meet me

at the gate? Well,

>> it's more fun out here.

child. It's been a long time.

>> Yeah, I know. You know how it is though.

A week here, a year there.

>> Something wrong, kid?

>> No, I'm just a little edgy.

It's been a while.

>> Well, you're going to be around for a

while, aren't you? A

>> few days. I have to collect something

for a friend.

Why don't you drop me off at the hotel?

I have a few things to take care of and

then I'll meet you for a drink later.

>> Well, she should be here any second.

>> Okay, I'll pick her up down here.

>> All right,

>> Cohen.

>> Hi.

>> Hi there. How you doing?

>> I'm doing fine. How are you doing?

>> Fantastic.

>> Good.

>> Are you ready?

>> Yes. Wonderful.

>> What's with the cameras?

>> What?

>> Well, I thought it was a rule, like a

tradition in Las Vegas. No cameras, no

clocks in the casinos.

>> Well, you see, in this case, that camera

means a little publicity for the casino.

So, we're going to let them break the

rule.

>> What about the clocks?

>> What about the clocks?

>> I just said that. I knew I heard it

somewhere.

>> Okay, Jeff.

>> Hello. This is Maril Maine on the Las

Vegas strip here at the Desert Inn. And

we have with us today the first lady of

entertainment of Las Vegas, Miss Lola

Fana.

Lola, tell me, what does it feel like to

be the busiest lady in Las Vegas?

>> It feels terrific. You see, I like to

entertain. I do 20 weeks a year here at

the Aladdin Hotel. It kind of makes me

feel like a new woman, you know, and a

new contract.

Well, Lola, you'll never have any

trouble getting your contracts for the

shows you put on. Your material is

sensational.

>> Thanks. We try. It's time to compete

with all that money off the casino just

waiting to be won.

>> Tough competition for any of the

performers we have in town.

>> It's not all that easy for us either. A

couple of my friends got to shaking the

dice on the craft tables the other day

and almost forgot the stage call.

>> Can you imagine what would happen if a

television station winner?

>> You own your own TV station, don't you?

I have interest.

>> I see you on camera at 1 in the morning.

>> What are you going to have?

>> Uh, I'll have a tequila sunrise.

>> Tequila sunrise.

>> To perform for me, let me know.

>> My spies tell me that uh you just signed

a new recording contract.

>> Yeah. For 5 years. I would have made it

10, but I didn't think they could keep

the pace.

Your father is so proud of you.

>> Ain't that

>> you know

>> you said you'd shape up soon as you

broke out on your own.

>> I guess I made him pretty miserable till

you set me straight.

>> You set yourself straight, kid.

>> Too late. You paid for my education. I'd

never be teaching now if it hadn't been

for the money you sent me.

>> Well, that's what families are for.

>> Don, uh, when I picked you up at the

airport, you said you had something to

take care of.

Did it get taken care of?

>> Partly.

>> I have to pick up something in the

morning and if I don't get it, I'm going

to go to the police.

>> Something you want to talk to me about?

>> No,

>> I have to take care of this myself.

It'll be okay.

>> Telephone call for Mr. Cohen. Mr. Bert

Cohen.

>> What about you?

>> You still painting? Well, I'm still

trying.

>> I saw one of your tries in a gallery in

San Francisco. It was so beautiful.

>> Hey, baby.

How's about you and me stroking Lady

Luck a little? Huh?

>> Got the wrong number.

>> Oh, no. You got that.

>> What are you doing sitting here with big

chief? You got more than meets the eye.

>> Yeah. Why don't you go sit at the end of

the bar? Get your dirty hands off of my

chips, Ganon Mo.

>> Come on, honey. You and me all the way.

Right. Let's do it, baby. Get out, Max.

>> Chuck. Chuck. Get it. Get it.

Get a little tired.

>> Take care. Lola.

Joey. Look out.

All right. Go on. Sit. Sit up. Sit down.

>> Jean, you got a towel?

Don't break it up the joint. Who's going

to pay for this thing? Rob's going to

blame me. That's who's going to pay for

it.

>> I want to talk with you. Can you stole

it?

>> Okay, Merl.

>> Maybe we should take you to the

hospital.

>> No, just give me a minute and I'll be

all right.

Don't worry. In my experience, uh, the

chief is hard-headed. Shouldn't be too

hurt. By the way, Mr. Roth is not going

to be pleased with the little publicity

I'm going to give him on the evening

news. Just wanted to warn you.

>> Did you just film that? Do you call this

news?

>> An Indian chief and a macho tourist

fighting over a girl. Oh, what a dull

night. That's news.

>> Damn, help me get him back to the car.

>> Why don't we take him to my suite?

>> Who are you? He's an old friend.

I'm sorry. These are real tight.

>> Here, drink this.

>> What's this?

>> Water.

>> Water? Yes.

>> What'd he hit you with anyway?

>> Champagne bottle.

>> Champagne. Very classy.

>> I'll stay with him. I have to make some

phone calls.

>> Okay. Hey, if he needs anything, you

call me. All right.

>> Dantana Two Leafs told me about you.

>> Oh.

>> I'm Don Peters.

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. He said he's uh known

you since you were How do you put it?

>> Since I was kneeh high to a billing

goat.

>> That's it.

>> Yeah.

>> Hi, I'm I'm Bener.

>> This is Benzer. We work together.

>> Well, I work for Dan. We work at the

hotel. We do some detective work here in

New York.

Huh?

Seems the old Indian fighting spirit is

still alive. Even if today's war path is

a casino floor, some of the tourists in

our fair town found out that the calvary

didn't arrive soon enough when Chief

Harlon Tulie

>> gunning Tulleaf down with that footage

he shot last night.

>> Well, let's just hope the Tulleaf didn't

see it.

>> Tana. Dan, I'm at the DI. Tul Leaf's in

trouble. You better get right over here.

>> I'm on my way.

>> What's the matter?

>> Something happened to Tulleaf.

Heat. Heat.

5.

Who was it?

>> Her name was Dawn Peters.

Looks like attempted rape and she was

stabbed.

>> Why' you know her?

>> She was a friend of Tuli.

What happened?

>> I don't know. I can't get anything out

of him.

Dan she's dead.

The kid's dead. I know

what happened.

I can't remember anything. I don't know.

She's so small. So hard line that

>> Dave, maybe we ought to get him to a

doctor. He took a heavy crack on the

head last night.

>> Over the girl, right?

>> Yeah, he was in a fight over the girl.

So what?

>> He's got scratches on his neck.

>> Well, I just told you he was in a fight.

>> Well, she put up a hell of a fight

herself and she's got skin and blood on

her fingernails.

>> Dave, what are you saying? Dan, I like

to leave, but what I'm saying is you

better get him a good attorney.

Bring him out, Thompson.

>> Not too tight.

>> Yes, they are.

>> She tulie. She left the casino last

night.

>> Clear the way, please.

>> The girl who is now dead. Can you fill

us in who was Don Peters?

Uh Dan Tana is Las Vegas's number one

private detective. Uh Mr. Tana, you are

a friend of the Chiefs. Are you going to

try to clear him?

>> Try, Miss Merl. A person is innocent

until proven guilty in this country.

That's the way it works. Excuse me.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, the police have

just brought out what apparently is the

murder weapon.

I don't know what it's all about.

Dad Ted investigations.

>> B, I've been ringing the phone off the

wall.

>> I'm sorry, Dad.

>> God bless you. And I wish you washed

your hair in your own time in your own

bathroom.

>> I I'm sorry. I thought you were going

down in the jail to see Two Leaf, and so

I thought I'd steal 10 minutes.

>> Well, you got 20. Listen, have you

connected with Benzer yet?

>> I sure did. He'll be waiting for you at

the parking lot behind the Stardust.

>> Great. I'm on my way.

>> Just a second. How did you know I was

washing my hair?

>> Well, masterly detection, my dear

Beatrice, the only time I've ever heard

you sneeze is when your hair is wet. And

I think I hear the blow dryer humming in

the background.

>> Talk to you later.

I

>> Hi. How you doing?

>> How's Tulie?

>> He's dazed, confused. I've never seen

him like this.

>> Yeah, they don't really think he did it.

>> Well, they booked him.

>> Yeah. Listen, I I checked with security

at the casino about the guy that started

the fight. His name is Lyall Kemp.

>> He's not at the address he gave.

>> He never was.

>> Starting to sound like a setup.

>> So, what do we do?

>> Okay. I want you to start working your

way through the day shift at the DI.

Find out what Don Peters did from the

time she checked in until she met Tul

Leaf last night.

>> Okay.

>> Then have B start checking out the phone

billing at the hotel. If uh Don made a

phone call, I'll be in the computer.

>> Okay. Where you going to be?

>> I don't know where to see Tulleaf.

>> Say hi to him from me. Huh? Okay.

J7.

They go to nine.

Dan is like my own kid.

You don't think I could have kicked

Remember

last year when Chief Grey Bear was

murdered by that bike gang? You had a

reason to kill a man and you didn't. You

let him live. What makes you think you

could murder a girl you love like a

daughter?

>> Sulie, this is not going to be easy, but

uh

I want you to tell me about Don. She

have any enemies?

I don't know.

When I sent her off to San Francisco,

she was in a pretty pretty rough scene.

What kind of scene?

>> Called girl,

but that was 3 years ago.

She got scared, dropped it.

>> You know why she came to Las Vegas?

She said she came to collect something

for a friend and that if she didn't get

it, she was going to the police.

>> Not exactly a grab bag of clues, is it?

Hey,

>> you need anything? Can I Can I get you

anything?

Maybe my paints. I've got a canvas at

home. I finished.

Dan, you know how I feel about tack

places.

Get me out of here.

Tutti wants his paints. Dan, he's a

suspected felon. You know the rules.

>> He's also my friend. Can you see if you

can bend him?

>> Yeah, I'll see what I can do. I think

there's something you should know. The

skin under the girl's fingernails is two

leaves, and the traces of her blood on

his knife.

>> What about Prince?

>> Only two leaves.

Well, Dave, the killer could have used

Tul Leaf's knife. Uh, he could have

scraped the girl's fingers across his

neck.

>> Dan, the juryy's going to ask how anyone

could hold Tulleaf down that long.

>> I'll try to get you some answers soon as

I post his bail.

>> Dan,

for Judge Squel's bail, we can't let him

out of here and have some trigger-happy

redneck start playing cowboys and

Indians in ' 86. My friend.

>> My friend Dave. The state star suspect.

>> Hannah.

>> Dan. Don Peters only made one phone call

from her room. Vince still checking on

the phone number.

>> Did she leave the hotel?

>> Only once. According to Sam at the cab

stand, he said one of his guys took a

woman answering her description to the

Lakeside Medical Center. Okay, I'll

check it out. Thanks, B.

Mr. Tanner to see you, Dr. Barrow.

Sandy man,

>> sit down.

>> Thank you, doctor.

Uh, Dr. Burrow, yesterday a young girl

came to see you. Her name was Don

Peters. Do you remember her?

>> Well, she's not a regular patient or I

would

>> yesterday.

Oh, yes. Here she is. Run down. She

asked for a B12 shot. I gave it to her.

>> So, you hadn't seen her before then?

>> No, but I've seen lots like her. Vegas

tourists mixing up night and day. Forget

to eat, forget to sleep. As a matter of

fact, she may be by for a pickme up. I

think there's little chance of that,

doctor.

>> What do you mean?

>> Didn't you see this morning's headlines?

>> Oh,

you mean she was the one murdered by the

Indian?

>> Dr. Barrow, I don't know who murdered

that girl, but she was not murdered by

that Indian.

>> I didn't mean it that way. I

>> Okay, thanks very much, doctor.

B barrel was a dead end. You got

anything for me?

>> Maybe you want to know the one call that

Dawn Peters made before she was killed?

>> Yeah.

>> Hart's Delight escort service on

Fremont. You know that hooker service.

>> I'm on Fremont now. I'll check it out.

>> Good luck.

Hi.

>> Well, well, if it isn't Dan, Dan the

question, man.

>> Bill hard around.

>> Oh, dear. I'm afraid you're a little

late.

He's in the cemetery. He died last week.

God, rest him. I've taken over the

place.

>> I didn't know.

>> Emergency operation. He had heart

failure.

Passed away in the table. Flat on his

back like old times.

>> Well, I'm sorry to hear about that.

>> No need. He was a rotten partner. He

couldn't keep his hands off the

merchandise. Is addicted to the cards

like an alcoholic bartender. You know

>> what are you looking for?

>> Uh, just looking.

Well, it sounds like he kept real busy

>> right to the end. He left his daughter a

69 CAD and 10 grand in debt.

>> But Jack, uh, does the name Don Peters

ring a bell?

>> Used to work for us before my time

though. In fact, she phoned here

yesterday. She wanted to know how heart

died. Morbid lady.

>> Listen, did she have any girlfriends

when she worked here? Anybody might

still be around? Not

>> after three years, I wouldn't think so.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

>> Yeah, that was one.

>> Aha. Voila. There she is.

>> Cheryl Borrison. She married some pansy

of a politician. She's a rich lady now.

Dan Dan. She doesn't play high and

mighty with me. I've got her records.

You wouldn't mind if I took a look at

that, would you?

>> I'm afraid that's more than you can

afford, Mr. Tanner. I'm saving these for

a rainy day.

>> It's clouding up real fast, Jack.

>> You're kidding me.

>> No,

>> don't make a mistake, son. I'm still in

condition. I work out every day. Now

it's Tata Tana. Okay.

>> Well, Jack, I think we got a problem.

You see, because I want to see those

files, and you're telling me I range.

So, what do you think? cuz I think we

got a problem.

>> We don't have a problem.

>> We uh definitely have a problem here.

>> Okay, I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

>> Whoops.

>> I don't think Cheryl Borrison will mind

if I return her property. Do you?

Thanks for the use of your file.

Don Peter's murder has aroused

nationwide interest. The main suspect,

Chief Harlon Tulie, is being held in

custody without bail. The tragic story

unfolded last night before KTNS cameras

when a brawl broke out over Miss Peters.

But let's review the life and colorful

career of Chief Harlon Tulleaf. During

his early life, he was well known as a

hellraiser, impatient with any form of

discipline, critical of what he called

the white man's law. The story first

started after a fight in the desert in

bar between the chief and a

>> Hey, what are you doing? You crazy?

mile after

the lake.

G17.

Heat.

Heat.

Hey, Vince.

>> Hi, guy.

>> Hey, that looks good.

>> Thanks.

>> Uh, you know, you could have more of

that if you wanted.

>> Oh, that's all right.

>> What's the matter?

>> Well, it's it's nothing. I I just uh

Well, one side is taller than the other

side, and I could like things that

match.

Really?

>> Yeah.

>> How's this? It's

>> great. That I can eat.

>> What do you got?

>> Call girl filing Cheryl Borrison. Look.

>> I'd like to meet her.

>> Yeah. Did you call her?

>> Uh, yeah. I spoke to the maid. Mrs.

Borrison of the glossy photo. Mrs.

Borrison is at a political bash for her

husband's new campaign.

>> When did the maid say we could reach

her? Uh, I don't know. Not until

tomorrow morning, I guess.

>> I just can't understand how a lady like

that just married to a hoty totsy

politician, how she could ever be a call

girl.

>> Yeah. What's even harder to understand

is how Don Peters could have been a call

girl.

>> Yeah.

>> Tana

when

Okay, Dave. Thanks.

Who was that? It's

>> Nelson. Tulie broke out of jail after

hearing Merryill's latest newscast.

Well,

>> where do you think he is?

>> Well, he couldn't have gone far on foot.

He's probably still in the downtown

area. I'm worried he's going to do

something crazy. I'm going to find him

if it takes all night.

>> Well, look. Do you want me to go with

you?

>> No. Stay here just in case.

>> In case what?

>> Just in case.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. N.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Yes. Who is it?

>> Mrs. Boris. My name is Dan Tan. I'm a

private investigator. I'd like to talk

to you.

>> I'm sorry. I can't talk to anyone

without my husband.

Come in.

I knew a rat would crawl out of his hole

one day and come and try and put the

bite on me. How much?

>> Mrs. Boris said, "All your records are

in this file. I suggest you burn it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Tana. Obviously, I

misjudged you. Is there anything I can

do in return?

>> Well, it's been a long night. I could

use a cup of coffee.

>> Of course. How do you take it? A

>> black be fine, thanks. You

can also tell me about Don Peters.

>> Mr. Tana, Don's dead.

Can't we just let her lose her past?

Same way that we just burned mine up.

>> Sorry, I can't do that.

>> I could lose a good friend to a murder

charge.

>> Don's Indian.

She used to talk about him all the time.

Loved him like a father. Um, one night,

um, she called him when a customer was

trying to bruise her up and Two Leaf

almost killed the guy and then after

that he sent her off to Frisco.

>> There must have been more to it than

that. A reason.

>> Well, if there was, I don't know it.

>> I don't think you're being entirely

honest with me, Mrs. Barson. I think

you're holding out on me.

I promised, Don.

I wouldn't show these to anybody.

I said I'd just keep these for her as

insurance.

None of these prescriptions are in Don's

name. Do you know how she got him?

>> No. Why?

>> Their uppers.

Either she knew a heavy drug dealer or

some very depressed people.

>> Well, Don was pretty broken up yesterday

herself

>> about your old boss, Hart.

>> Mhm.

>> She said that she'd gotten a letter from

him after 3 years. And then she found

out that he died on Barl's operating

table.

>> Dr. Philip Barrow.

>> Mhm. He was the agency doctor. Barrett

told me he never knew Dawn before

yesterday.

>> He would say that he never liked being

associated with hookers.

>> I wonder if he wrote these

prescriptions.

>> I don't know. Isn't the doctor's name

always on the bar?

>> Not this time. Someone developed a very

nervous habit of scraping the doctor's

name off these prescriptions.

>> Thanks very much, Mrs. Boris. I think

you just squared your account.

>> I hope so.

I don't know why

it all

here.

I got

to do.

Dantana Investigations.

>> Well, I certainly hope so. Ben, is there

anything new on Tulie?

>> No. No. Nelson said he'd call if he had

anything.

>> Okay. There's something I want you to

do.

>> Yeah. Well, first of all, you've got to

go out to the cemetery.

The story continues, ladies and

gentlemen, with a daring midnight escape

from a metropolitan jail by Chief Harlon

Tulie. Now, I'm not the one to pass a

verdict to guilty or innocent on the

chief, and it is not a reporter's job to

express opinion, but I would like to

point out that if the chief was

innocent, why would he make an escape?

Is he afraid of something he's done? The

story first started after the fight in

the desert in bar between the chief and

a visitor to our glamorous city. I was

fortunately able to have a few words

with that visitor.

>> Okay, Chuck, let's cut it here.

How did you get here?

>> You

were coming with me.

We're going to settle this thing once

and for all.

All right. What is this? Another rape?

Another murder?

>> Miss man, I know why you're doing this.

It's because I stopped the documentary

you were doing on my tribe last year.

>> Oh, you're right. I lost a bundle on

that one.

So now you ought to destroy me.

>> Oh, I don't need to. You're doing a fine

job yourself.

>> Look, I may not like you, but I didn't

put your knife in that girl.

>> Neither did I.

>> Where's the man that you interviewed?

>> Lyall Kemp was with my cameraman the

night Dawn Peters was killed. He didn't

do it.

>> But he knows who did.

Somebody paid him to start the fight in

that bar.

I love that girl. She was like a

daughter to me. She had the run of the

reservation while her father taught our

children.

The man who hurt her, I'm going to get

him.

I swear it.

All right.

I'll take you to camp.

Hi.

>> Hi. Is this hot?

>> Mhm. Any new developments on Tulie?

>> Oh, yeah.

He's now added kidnapping to his other

rap.

Who? Merryill mine. Merryill's cameraman

called us from the television studio. My

men got there too late. So now the DA

has ordered us to find Two Leaf and

bring him in. Whatever it takes,

>> Dave. That's like saying shoot on sight.

>> I don't make the rules, old buddy. But I

have to play by them.

>> Nelson.

>> Uh, Lieutenant. Hi. This is Binser.

Listen. Be told me Dan was going to be

there.

>> Benzer, I'm here.

>> I'm at the cemetery.

>> Listen. Uh, Dan, took me a while, but I

found the names on those drug bottles.

Every one of them is dead and buried.

>> Okay, I want you to do one more thing.

Check with Mickey at the pharmacy. See

how long they keep records on

prescriptions.

>> You got it. Bye,

>> Dan. Uh, what are you working on now?

>> Dead people who order drugs.

>> Oh, hold it. I tell you what, my car is

in the shop, so you can run that by me

while you drive me home.

Hey, hold up. Huh?

Who hired you?

Who?

I haven't seen a scam this old in years.

>> Yeah, it's an old one. A doctor writes a

prescription for a dead patient and

passes the drugs onto a pusher.

>> I still don't understand why Dawn Peters

came back to Vegas.

>> Well, Two Leaf said she came back to

collect something for a friend.

>> She collected more than she bargained

for.

>> Right. You see, somebody was giving

Shining Jack's partner, Bill Hart, drugs

to pass on to his call girls. Now, Don's

old girlfriend mentioned a letter from

Hart that brought Don running back to

Las Vegas.

>> So,

>> so two and two make extortion.

>> Blackmail.

>> She threatened somebody enough to get

herself killed.

Tana

where?

Thanks, B. Tuli was spotted at the city

center motel. They hassled a guy from

the bar front.

>> Hey, you you you keep your hands off of

me.

I'm under a half.

>> Hey, it's just a job. Just a job. I

didn't know the girl I didn't know the

girl was going to get killed. I told the

engine that.

>> Did you tell Tulie who hired you? How do

you keep from telling him?

>> Who is he? Where is he? Bar Dr.

Okay. Will you

B. Dr. B.

You let go of me. Don with Kemp. He told

me you knew Don. Why did you kill her? I

didn't kill her. You killed her. He's

worse than that. You hurt her.

Get out of here.

Why? Why?

>> She was helping Hart and me, selling

drugs. Well, that's no reason to kill

her.

>> She knew that I killed Hart on the

operating table. See, Hart was gambling

himself into debt, and he needed more

for me. Dawn wanted $50,000 for Hart's

daughter. I had to kill her. She'd have

bled me for years.

>> She wasn't that kind of girl. Don't mess

yourself up now.

>> I'll take care of too late. Right.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat

up here.

Don't bother, Doc.

You just made your last house call.

Heat. Heat.

Well, we found Hart's letter to Dawn in

Barrow's office.

Hart had asked Dawn to take care of his

daughter in case something happened to

her.

All Dawn was doing was pressuring Barrow

for money for the girl.

>> Well, Barrow had no intention of paying

her any money.

>> That's right.

This is good.

>> That's very good. Hello, Miss Maine.

>> Hello.

>> Well, Mel, you got your story?

>> No, but I just straightened out a bad

one.

>> Chief, I made an apology on the air, but

I wanted to say I'm sorry in person.

I uh I didn't know you were such a fine

artist.

Well, that kind of opening demands a

speech from the artist.

>> Well, what do you say, Chief?

Well, my old friend Tulie, a speech has

always been two pauses with a long pause

in the

Heat.

Heat.
