Next on Vegas, a top secret CIA tape

chases Philip Roth out of Vegas and

marks Dantana for death.

>> Dan the man, you still keeping the

streets safe for us, huh?

>> Well, I'm dying from trying.

>> GO AHEAD, BLOW ME AWAY.

>> I'M the new president of Roth Hotels.

Heat up here.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

You don't have to understand anything,

Philip. All you've got to realize is you

don't have any choice.

So sign it.

You want to take the tape? Take the

tape. You think I'm too stupid to have

another one stashed away somewhere? One

phone call and that becomes public.

How'd you get it?

>> Client of mine passed away. You knew

him, too. Official high up in the

administration. I found it among his

papers. Now sign it. You know, Johnny,

you're a dummy. Always was a dummy.

You didn't put this together by

yourself. Who inv

>> it won't make any difference as far as

you're concerned.

>> You want to sign it?

>> Let me get this straight. All the stock,

certificates, options, mortgages. Hey, I

sign everything over to you. Six

casinos, the five hotels, eh?

>> Everything.

>> Everything. I uh resign. You become the

uh chairman of the board and also

>> the title chairman of the board

>> and you become the chief operating

officer.

>> Is that right?

>> That's right. You also can keep your

private plane provided you fly it as far

away from this town as a full tank of

fuel will take you and you go straight

to the airport and you don't talk to

anyone.

>> Mhm. Now you want to sign it.

John,

you have any idea the trouble this would

cause the havoc? I mean, how would it

affect our country? Johnny,

>> I always counted on your strong

patriotism, Phillip.

I'm not as patriotic as you think.

You can't, can you? And you won't.

>> Oh, yes I can.

Not me.

But I won't.

I wouldn't waste a bullet.

Don't forget your hat.

>> I won't. Enjoy your empire for a minute.

Well, Slick, I caught up with Bunker Boy

Keegan. He apologizes for conning the

old guy from market. So, he said he

didn't know he was staying at this

hotel, but I talked him into making

restitution plus 50%.

>> Good work, Mr. Tanner.

>> Uh, I I should probably warn you that

the last member of the staff who sat in

Mr. Roth's chair is now a junket booking

manager in Hastings, Nebraska.

>> Well, I'm not just a member of the

staff. I'm the new president of Roth

Hotels.

JT Rodmore is my name. Very happy to

meet you. Heard a lot of flattering

things about your abilities.

>> Yeah, that's nice. Uh, where's Roth?

Well, he left about an hour ago, as a

matter of fact.

On extended vacation

on a what? Where? He didn't say.

>> Wait a second. I saw a slick yesterday.

He didn't say anything about you or an

extended vacation.

>> Don't worry, Mr. Tana, we intend to

continue our arrangements with you.

>> Nothing's changed.

>> Well, in that case, uh, you owe me 300

bucks in cash laid out in advance.

That's not slick creeping out the back

door. He's Mr. Flamboyant. He can't go

to the bathroom without issuing a press

release.

>> If he were making changes that big and

handing over control and going on an

extended vacation,

>> you know, the papers from the Wall

Street Journal to the National Enquirer.

>> Thank you,

Dan. I just talked to the controller at

the airport. Roth's plane left at 10

a.m. for Los Angeles. Two minutes later,

it dropped below radar level and they

haven't heard from him since. You know

what I'm saying?

>> You mean the plane's missing?

>> No, don't worry. He does it all the time

to cover his tracks. He probably had no

intention of going to LA.

>> So, you think everything's okay?

>> This doesn't make any sense. I mean, I

know Slick would not leave town without

talking to me

unless

>> Unless he was forced to.

>> That's crazy. Nobody makes Philip Roth

do anything.

>> Dan, who's this new Rodmore guy? Where's

he coming from?

>> JT Rodmore? It's a good question. Why

don't you call our contacts in Reno in

Atlantic City? If Slick put him in

charge of a casino, he's got to have a

casino background, right?

>> You want me to call Lieutenant Nelson

and see if Rodmore has a record?

>> I don't even get to call the shots

around here anymore.

>> We're a well-trained team, coach. Now,

what are you going to do?

>> Well,

there are only three people in this town

Slick Mike trust completely. Maybe they

know where he is, huh?

>> And I'll start with Rosie.

A telephone call from Mr. Cohen. Mr. B

Cohen.

>> Hey, Dino. Dan the man. He's still

keeping the streets safe for us, huh?

>> Well, I'm dying from trying. Uh, you

happen to see our favorite bookie

around,

>> Rosie? Oh, he's in his office still

taking bets. But, uh, you go there on

your own risk now.

>> I will. Hey, I caught you on the telly

the other night. Don't you get tired of

being sensational?

>> I hope the Neielson people hear about

that and thank him.

>> You bet.

>> Hey, speaking of bets, Dan, uh, put a C

note for me on Scotch Maul in the third.

Right on the nose.

>> Scotch M, huh? Is that a hot tip?

>> No, it's a cold drink, Dan. Just make

the bet, huh?

>> Everybody loves somebody.

across the board and give me big blue in

the fourth and put five big ones on him.

Nose him for me. Yeah. Oh, thank you. I

hear that Dominic driver's been

scratched, so give me Sterling late in

the first to show.

>> Yeah.

>> Hey, Rosie, I got to talk to you.

>> Uh, hold on. Look, man. I'm trying to

place some bets. I only got 5 minutes

before post time.

>> Why did you always come at the wrong

time, Dan? Right when I'm feeling lucky

and winning. You always try to break my

life.

>> I'm sorry, Rosie, but it's important. I

wouldn't bother you if it wasn't

important.

>> So is my livelihood important. Brother

Daniel,

>> would you please leave just for once of

all, please?

>> Would you give me?

>> Hey, what about your friends? Philip

Bro, he's in trouble.

>> I'll call you back.

>> What kind of trouble?

>> I don't know. He disappeared. When did

you see him last? Saw him last night. He

and I caught Dino short at the grind.

>> Well, what was his mood? How did he

seem? Was he himself?

>> Yeah, he was zinging around, having a

lot of fun until he got that call from

some cat called JT.

>> Yeah, JT Rodmma. What about him?

>> Well, after hearing from him, uh, he

started making calls to his buddies

trying to find out who's backing this JT

dude.

>> But they ain't never heard of nobody

with that name. So, uh, he started

making some kind of excuse, but he had

to leave. So, he took the tip and split.

>> Did he happen to say where he was going?

>> No. But I know where he was going to

finish because at midnight he was

supposed to have a pool game with the

fat man.

>> That's right. Every Tuesday. Listen, if

you hear anything or if you hear from

Slicky, let me know. All right.

>> You got it, brother.

>> Oh, uh, by the way, Dino wants you to

put a cote for him on Scotch Malt the

third.

>> Scotch Malt.

You got it.

>> All right, little pony. Run sweet for

you, daddy.

>> Dantana investigations.

>> Anything on Rodmore?

>> No. Why, you may ask? There is no JT

Rodmore.

>> You made him up. He does not exist as a

human person.

>> Let's find out if Rodmore had a military

record. Try our contacts of the

services. Then try Social Security and

then the DMV. Whatever.

>> It's your phone, Bill.

>> Beatress.

>> How many times do I have to tell you not

to polish your nails by the desk? You

spill that junk on the floor, it'll

never come out.

>> We're sorry.

>> Talk to you later.

Everybody knows I'm the greatest pool

player in the world. That's why I banked

this for a cushion instead of shooting

it straight in.

>> All right.

>> Now you all know who the greatest

hustler in this town is.

>> Who's this guy over here, though?

>> That's my protege, Jimmy Matai.

>> Jimmy,

>> tremendous player.

>> Yeah, I know. Uh following in this guy's

footsteps, right? I've got to take

bigger strides.

>> You got to get some meat on them boom so

you can make the game ball for the

cheese. Junior.

>> Come here. I want to talk to you.

>> Now, uh, what can you tell me about

Philip Roth?

>> Sure. He shoots a pretty neat game for

an amateur because I taught him.

>> Yeah, naturally. You guys shoot last

night?

>> Sure. Like every Tuesday. He seemed

quiet, like he had something on his

mind, but I didn't ask him anything.

>> He didn't say anything about going away.

Now, don't worry. Why would he leave

town before my shootout with Mosone?

>> It's not like Slick to let his friends

down.

>> Did you check with Denise,

>> the choreographer at the Tropicana?

>> Yeah, when he left me, he said he was

going to see her.

>> Thought that affair was over years ago.

>> Oh, yeah. The romance, but not the

friendship. They stayed good, buddies.

>> Darn. That's something I didn't know

about SL.

>> Nobody knows everything about anybody.

Daniel

>> Jimmy

mind if I try that?

>> Do you mind?

>> How about that?

It's obvious he's talking to Ross's

closest confidence trying to find out

where he's gone. Meanwhile, his

secretary and the guy that does his leg

work have been on the phone to half the

world trying to find out who you are.

What do you want me to do about it?

>> Nothing. Look, if Tana's as good as they

say he is, he very well may locate Mr.

Roth. And it wouldn't hurt for us to

know where he is and what, if anything,

he's planning.

>> You stick with Tana.

>> Got him.

Okay, girls. Come on. Get your rack

together. One more time. Andy and five,

six, seven, eight.

Take five, girls.

Hi, darling.

>> Hi.

>> I knew you'd be here.

>> I know you know.

>> He said you would be. Yep.

>> We're going to talk.

>> Well, he made me promise not to tell you

anything.

>> Denise, he's in trouble. I mean, he's in

real trouble this time.

Okay. We spent the night together. He

needed a friend.

>> Did he tell you what was bothering him?

I mean, where he was going, why he was

going, anything.

>> No, but he was so restless and lonely.

Not like himself at all.

He said he had to leave town, that he'd

keep in touch.

But he didn't tell me a thing.

Even when he called this morning, all he

said was that

>> Wait a second. He called you this

morning?

>> Yeah. in the limo phone around 9:30.

>> How do you know it was on the limo

phone?

>> Well, it sounds different. I could hear

the traffic noises.

>> Thanks, Denise.

>> Dan,

>> help him.

>> Okay, back to work, girls. 9 6 7 8.

>> Hi, Oscar.

Good afternoon, Mr. Tanner.

>> Oscar, uh, you drove Mr. Roth this

morning, right?

>> Yes, sir. To the airport.

>> Yeah. Was there anybody with him?

>> Just his pilot, Captain Deca. The second

officer, Mr. McLaren, met us at the

plane.

>> Yeah. Uh, did you hear him say where

they were going?

>> Mr. Tanner, I don't listen to my

employer's conversations.

>> Oscar, look at it this way. You've been

looking after Mr. Roth's personal safety

on hostile highways for 11 years. I just

want to make sure he's going to be okay

on this trip without you.

>> I need your help, Oscar.

>> Well, Mr. Tanner, when you put it that

way, I I must say I'd never quite

thought of it in those terms.

They seem to have said Washington. That

is, I just happened to hear them mention

a private airirstrip near Washington DC.

It really doesn't make any sense, does

it, sir?

>> No, Oscar. It doesn't. Uh, doesn't make

any sense at all.

Yeah.

Yeah.

>> Well, do you happen to know where he's

staying?

>> I see. All right. Thanks, Josh. I owe

you one.

Well, according to the FBI, Roth arrived

in Washington DC early this afternoon.

He went from the airport to the Senate

office building, from there to the

Justice Department, then he went to the

White House. some vacation. Well,

>> at least we know he's okay.

>> Pretty high level sightseeing, wouldn't

you say, Lieutenant?

>> Philip Ross is an important man. He's a

national figure.

>> But he's not political. You know that,

Dave.

>> Yeah, I know that, Dan. It puzzles me,

too. But I can't take any action until I

have positive proof that a crime has

been committed.

>> Okay, it's 6:00 in Washington. It's too

late. Call Dick Cavlla to the Justice

Department tomorrow morning. Find out

who slip talked to at the Senate and the

Justice Department and the White House.

>> Just like that.

>> Yeah, just like that. Well, you can

remind him that I'm the high school

center who opened the holes that allowed

him to gain a thousand yards and win a

scholarship. I think that'll help.

>> Got it. Anything else?

>> Well, as of now, I am off duty, so I

would like to continue this conversation

over cool beer at Cohen and Kelly's.

I'll even buy it.

>> Certainly will.

Dade.

>> Yeah.

>> It's the fourth time today I've seen

that van.

>> Why is somebody tailing you?

>> Not exactly. He hasn't stayed close

enough.

>> Yeah. You take the front.

Dave. Yeah.

>> There it is. Any ideas?

>> Just one. JT Rodman. You give be a ride

home.

>> Yeah. What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy,

buddy. Don't go busting anything.

>> I'm just going to return some private

property.

>> Yeah, sure.

>> Okay, Tana, hold it right there. JT

Rodmore's busy. He won't see anybody

right now, especially you.

He's not that busy.

believe these belong to you.

Your boy ought to be a little more

careful where he leaves them.

>> I told him you were good, Mr.

>> I don't want compliments, Mr. Rodmore. I

want an explanation. Why?

>> Because

>> why? Because

>> Hold it.

Because I don't want you involved in

certain matters that don't concern you.

>> Philip Roth concerns me. Then obviously

you don't want to hurt him.

>> Maybe you better run that by a little

more clearly.

>> You've spoken with Philip lately. Let's

call him right now.

>> I don't know where Philip Roth is and

you know it. But

>> you'll have to take my word for it. Your

actions only they'll only bring in.

>> Nobody in the gambling world has ever

heard of you, Mr. Rod Moore.

>> I wouldn't take your word for it had it

set to music by the Mormon Tabernacle

Choir.

>> Take a look at that.

You recognize Philip Tho's signature,

appointing me as executive director of

the Roth Empire, giving me his power of

attorney.

Now you hear me. I'll find out what you

did to make him sign that. You can bet

on it.

>> Hey,

when you look at Mr. Tana,

I know you're trying to help a friend,

but in fact, your persistence may put

his life on the line.

Now, you've proven your abilities. You

accept the situation,

and you let it go, Mr. Tanner.

Stuff it, Rodmore.

Well, everything that Mr. Ross said

about Tana seems to be true.

More important,

nobody Philip Roth knows can hurt us

as long as I've got that tape.

Who is it?

>> Elizabeth.

>> Elizabeth, come on in.

>> Dan, I know it's late, but I've got to

talk to you.

Philip sent me.

>> Slick sent you.

>> Look, I have to talk fast. You do

remember that I was Philip's secretary

for years.

>> Yes. And I also know that uh you left

his employee about 3 years ago.

>> Did he tell you why I left him?

>> No.

>> Well, it never got private enough. I

fell in love with him. Never fell out.

>> Well, everybody loves Slick.

Does that include you, Dan?

>> I think you know the answer to that.

>> Okay, then look at this. I just came

from Washington.

>> Looks like Slicks.

I remember him telling me his

grandfather gave it to him.

>> Wrong. You know better than that. He

went in a three-day poker marathon. 1958

Vanic Cuba.

Just test it. It's an old habit.

>> Dear Daniel, you remember Elizabeth.

Please believe every word she tells you.

Slick.

>> We don't have much time. In precisely

one minute, that phone's going to ring.

It will be Philip Roth from Washington.

He's not under duress of any kind. He's

not being held by anyone, and he's not

being forced to do anything against his

will. It's imperative that you believe

that before you speak to him. Listen to

him.

I'll listen.

>> He'll have to be as brief as he can.

That phone could be tapped from either

end. Afterwards, I'm not to leave until

you give me your answer.

>> Like I said, I'll listen.

>> Slick. Daniel, is Elizabeth with you?

>> Yeah, she's here.

>> Okay. Well, then I hope by now she's

convinced you that I'm not Rich Little

or a recording, but it's me, Slick.

>> Do you believe it?

>> Yeah. So, uh, what are the names of the

two raceh horses you didn't buy last

month?

>> Paris Red and Tony T. Huh? Okay, now you

listen to me. Stop antagonizing this JT,

will you? Stay out of everybody's way.

You're just causing a lot of waves and a

lot of trouble.

There's a lot going on and I don't want

you meddling into it. It's bigger than

life and death.

Now,

make sure that Elizabeth is on the

morning plane. Okay.

This is important.

>> Well, it doesn't uh appear that I have

much choice.

>> You don't have any choice. And you're

costing me money talking to me long

distance. Good night.

I'm going to rewind it and play it back

to you, sir.

>> Make sure that Elizabeth is on the

warning plane. Okay.

This is important.

>> Well, it doesn't uh appear that I have

much choice.

>> You don't have any choice.

>> Pick her up. She obviously knows where

our Mr. Roth is. Maybe what he's

planning. What about Tana?

Do what you have to.

>> Yes.

Heat. Heat.

There's Megan. Get ready.

That's the same van. RodMore's at it

again.

The man's in position. She's all yours.

He's

taking us off.

>> Operator, this is Dana. It's an

emergency. Please call Las Vegas Metro.

There's an attempted homicide by a motor

vehicle on Sunrise Highway headed west.

Stay in front of him.

I got one. Come on, Jess.

The car's still behind us.

>> Just hang on.

Almost got him.

Look out.

There's the van.

HEAT.

HEAT.

ELIZABETH. ELIZABETH.

>> Nice work, old buddy. Haven't you ever

heard of doorork knobs?

>> I want Rodmore. Where is he?

>> He's not here, but I am. And I'm asking

you to leave.

>> You're asking me to leave?

>> Well, I want Rodmore, and you're waiting

here, and you're asking me to leave?

What are you doing? Protecting him,

Dave?

>> It's my job, Tanner. Now, Mr. Rodmore

filed a complaint against you, said that

you busted in here, threatened him, and

said you'd be back. Obviously, he was

right.

>> I'm back because he sent his goons after

me, and a girl's in intensive care.

>> I know all about it. The incident is

under investigation. There's been no

break in the case yet. You give me

Rodmore and I'll give you a break.

>> What do you want from me? Do I have to

arrest you so make you leave me?

>> Why don't you do that, Dave? Read me my

rights. Arrest me and make me understand

why you're doing this and how you can do

it and still call yourself a friend of

mine and a friend of Philip Roths. Yeah,

arrest me, Dave.

>> Well, good Lord knows you've given me

cause. Storm in here like the Lone

Ranger.

Well, take me in for uh disturbing the

peace, huh?

All right, Dan.

You get yourself together and let's go

now.

>> Yeah, good. Take me downtown.

>> All right, Dan, let's have you. I didn't

mind playing that scene with you

upstairs, but what's it all about?

Losing your cool? Busting down a door?

What the hell were you really doing in

there?

>> Didn't fool you for a minute, did I?

Uh-uh.

It's

>> from Rodmore's desk. He handles it all

the time. Maybe you can check it for

Prince. We'll find out who he really is.

>> Drop me at Metro.

>> Tenner,

>> we got lucky on those prints on the

paper waiting.

>> We got a driving license match up from a

computer. His name is Jonathan Tolbert

Rodmore, attorney at law. He was a

partner in a law firm of Rodmore,

Dressler, and Cooper, Washington, DC.

>> Washington.

>> That's right. And I, like everyone else,

think he's legit. So, I'm giving you

fair warning, old buddy. If he calls me

again to complain about you, I'm going

to respond just as I did before.

>> Thanks, Dave.

Don't even breathe. Do

>> you mind if my heart goes bumpy to bump

slick?

Yeah.

Did you put it away? I

>> put it away. Hey.

>> Hey, Slick. How are you?

>> Hey, how are you?

>> How'd you get in there? Where'd you get

the key?

>> What are you talking about? How quickly

you forget? I'm your landlord. You rent

this place from me. I got a master key.

This place is filthy.

>> You put on some weight?

>> Well, wait. No weight. It's a

bulletproof vest. It's guaranteed to

stop anything up to a 38 or you get your

money back.

Why are you wearing it?

>> Uh, later. Okay.

How's Elizabeth?

>> News travels fast.

>> I got spies.

>> Yeah, so it seems. She's going to be

fine.

It's like, what's this all about?

>> Um,

it's it's hard for me to explain. It's

very difficult, Lux. I I had no choice.

Uh,

where's your drinks?

Over there.

Nobody. Not J. D. Rodmore.

>> How do you How do you open this thing?

>> Not the Queen of England.

>> Gives Philip Roth no choice. Really?

Really? For what it's worth, I don't

doubt for a minute you'd kill anybody

who tried.

>> I did try.

But I wouldn't pull the trigger.

>> Slick. What does this guy have on you

anyway?

>> Not just me.

And it's not as simple as that.

His name ain't Rodmore.

They changed it years ago.

His

name is Roth. He's my brother.

The only thing we had in common, my kid

brother and me, was that we both came

from the ghetto. I was out hustling,

trying to make a couple of bucks. I'd

give it to my mother, okay? She'd put

every penny she could away, wouldn't buy

herself nothing, and she put it away for

my kid brother so he could have a good

education. I went ahead and did my own

thing. You know, I uh I got in a little

trouble, so I jumped ship and I uh went

to Cuba. That's where I uh learned my

trade

>> and got rich.

>> That was

58 BC before Castro. Then uh Castro

kicked out Batista. I came back and uh I

went and looked up my uh fancy brother,

the attorney in Washington DC. He could

have been a senator, you know, really

important in the government. They found

out that his brother was a gambler and

they dropped him. I mean, imagine your

own brother ruining your career. I tried

to get in touch with him. Nothing. He

wouldn't give me the time of the day.

Wouldn't talk to me until one day

one of his clients, a very important one

in the administration died. And uh he

left this uh

tape recording.

>> What kind of tape recording?

>> It was nothing stupid.

>> What was on the tapes then?

Well, you don't have to tell me anymore,

Slick. I could put it all together for

you now.

I know a lot of people kid you about

your patriotic baloney.

It's real stuff with you. I know.

I know a lot of things about you, Slick.

>> You do, huh?

>> Yep. I know you spent a lot of time in

Cuba.

Consulted with President Bautista.

You don't remember telling me about

visiting the presidential palace, do

you?

>> Obviously, I talk too much.

>> Yeah. And that tape conversation,

the one your uh brother's client

recorded,

Slick, uh, I want you to tell me I'm

wrong, that I'm crazy, because I got

this feeling that, um, when you got back

from Havana,

you got this call from the White House

for a little conference

because you were an expert on Cuba, who

our friends were,

Maybe the layout of the presidential

palace.

Fidel Castro's palace.

The meeting was the planning of the

assassination of Fidel Castro. I

>> No, not planning.

Discussing maybe, but it was rejected

unanimously.

But that's what was on that tape

and it was made public.

>> My brother,

one thing he knows about me, pal,

he knows that I do anything, anything I

could to help my country out.

>> So, you had the original tape destroyed

and now you're going after the copy,

right?

>> That's my plan.

That's our plan.

>> Okay. Our plan

call Mr. Woodward Mr. Forest Woodward

Mr. Cohen Mr. Bert Cohen

telephone call Mr. Please work.

>> Dan, all systems are go.

>> Okay, Benjer, here we go.

>> You know how to fly this in

>> like old times, Nick Snick. We're just

going to pull together.

>> Yeah, like we always do.

Oh,

>> this vest plays a tough.

>> Is this going to work?

>> Slick. Come on, just trust me.

Okay.

>> Okay. What?

>> All right. First you want to do is uh

grab that hook. Wait a minute. I haven't

got a hook. Oh, yeah. Okay. I got a

hook. What do I do with it?

>> I put it on here like that just in case.

Then we got two buttons. One says up,

one says down. We want the one that goes

up.

>> Okay. Here we go. Push the button.

Stop.

Stop.

Come on. Come on.

No.

>> Sorry. Excuse me.

>> Oh, no.

>> You're not in there, are you, Dan?

Coming out again.

>> You do remember the combination.

>> Are you kidding?

>> Dan, answer the phone. Answer the phone.

Daniel,

let's get out of here.

>> Wait a minute. Where do you think you're

going? Get out of here.

>> We're not going that way. We're going

out the front door. What? Dressed like

this? I own this hotel again. This is in

fashion. Come on.

>> Well, Phillip,

this is perfect.

This couldn't be better. I come into my

office, find two intruders,

they lunge at me,

and I'm forced to shoot them

both. Look at him. Try and act like a

big- time gangster. The Harvard lawyer.

Shoot them both. Huh? You couldn't step

on a cockroach.

>> Hey, Slick, take it easy. That's not a

38.

>> I could have shot you, but I didn't. You

couldn't shoot nothing.

>> I'm stronger than you are, Philillip. I

always was. I can do it, and I will.

>> You're always gutless, even when you was

a kid. You know something?

>> Don't push it, Phil.

>> I don't think I ever liked you. Really?

One more step.

>> GO AHEAD. BLOW ME AWAY.

SLICK. I'm all right. What are you doing

here? Get the tape. Okay.

Heat.

Heat.

What are you doing, Ted? Are you crazy?

You work for me. I'm off duty. I got the

tape.

This is my hotel. You're trespassing.

So, call security. Have him cut me down

like I cut down your own brother.

You don't understand. You deserve what

he got. He was nothing.

He ruined me.

He ruined my life.

I hate to ruin your day, Rodmore, but

your brother's not dead. And something

tells me he's not going to go your bail.

Now give me the tape.

Now,

>> did you uh tell him that I called you on

the limo phone?

>> Yes.

>> You're a big mouth.

>> I was only trying to help. What are

buddies for?

>> You're my buddy. He climbed in here.

>> Dan, something's been bothering me.

>> Really? Something's been bothering you.

>> What's that? Huh?

>> No. Remember when we were on the phone?

>> How'd you know I was doing my nails?

Benzer said you're psychic. Are you?

>> Uh, no. Be I'm just a working detective

and I detected from Benzer's voice on

the phone that he was uh straining to

maybe move something heavy or open

something, you know. And then he kind of

gave a gasp like I do when I get a whiff

of your nail polish. Oh, elementary,

huh?

>> Well, actually, it's very difficult.

That's why he pays me big money to the

four of us.

Come in.

I just want wanted to tell you how much

I appreciate what you've done for me.

you know, we've been together for such a

long time. I thank you.

>> Now, you're not going to get mushy or

anything.

>> No, no, no. But this uh business with my

brother, you know.

>> Mhm.

>> And ending up in a slammer like that,

you know, really was a rancher.

>> Yeah.

>> And it's funny, you know, you you mean

more to me than he ever did. You're more

of a brother than he ever was.

I thought you said you weren't going to

get mushy.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.
